00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,879

17
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: like it's usually meant to be plural like all media.

18
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: But right now it's just you and me. We're still

Speaker 1: before my kids say hey, we need to eat.

28
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 3: This is very unique.

29
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: It's the USO been coming to La is Heckett, you know,

30
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: LA Country Club for the first time and hasn't been

31
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: here since the nineteen forties when it was at Riviera.

32
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: So for this to be a home game MIC on

33
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: Father's Day very very unique. We made plans yesterday to

34
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 2: celebrate Father's Day knowing that we would be doing the

35
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 2: show from here, knowing that it would be the final round.

36
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what, the gift of being a

37
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: father is unmatched. And we'll be missing hanging out with

38
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: the with the boy today, that is for sure. We'll

39
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: get some time tonight.

40
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: I was going to say, you'll get home earlier.

41
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

42
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: This leaderboard should be able to provide us with some

43
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: excitement to try to to try to quiet that.

44
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 3: Angst to death. Yeah.

45
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: We certainly have plenty of different angles as we approach

46
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: the final round. Here. Some of the big names that

47
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: even the most casual of golf observers would know through

48
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: the history and heartache in some places along the stretch.

49
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: But and one of the things we'll talk about, and

50
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: I know our executive producer Ethan Miller, he was on

51
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: the course the other day wandering around as well. So

52
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: we'll have our observations from what we've seen thus far,

53
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: a lot of comments, criticisms, and any big event, there's

54
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: alabsolutism and some of the usual things, parking ticket prices,

55
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: all of those things that I mean, it's pervasive no

56
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: matter what the event, concert, theater, to the movies at

57
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: this point or maybe how much your cheese curds cost

58
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: you today as opposed to twenty eighteen. All of those

59
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: things come together. But we do have who's who up

60
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: at the top of the leaderboard Ricky Fowler Rory McElroy obviously,

61
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: the two names that I think most people are focusing on.

62
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: A missed put on eighteen kind of set things askew

63
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 1: because you're like, oh, we've got them made from TV. Yes,

64
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: Wyndham Clark hitting the shot that he did, so he

65
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: is tied with Foler atop the leaderboard, and we have

66
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: a giant leaderboard ahead of us, and it really is

67
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: exciting to me because well, by eyesight as I get

68
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: older is not great, Dan. So the fact that it

69
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: is live and in living color in very large numbers

70
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: for me is reallykin nice.

71
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: And on that leaderboard there are fifteen names to my count.

72
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 3: And I will just.

73
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: Say this because you will hear some criticisms about the scores,

74
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: You'll maybe hear some criticisms about the course set up.

75
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: But you just mentioned Fowler and McElroy, two names there.

76
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: How about Scheffler Scotti. Scheffler gets himself into the legitimate

77
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: picture just three shots back with his eagle on seventeen

78
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: and this birdie on eighteen. You've got Dustin Johnson, Xander Schaffley,

79
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: Bryson De Shamba, Cameron Smith, Hideki Montzuyama, Victor Hovelin. Those

80
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: are the names of the fifteen that we've got that

81
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 2: are on this leader board here. So there may be

82
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: a couple of names that maybe are not as familiar

83
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: with and Wyndham Clark and guy who won for the

84
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: first time on the tour earlier this year. But man,

85
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: there are some other big names. And you know two

86
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 2: hundred pars where Hideki Mantzayama and Victor Hovlin are. They're

87
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 2: likely not going to be in contention. But let's just

88
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: say Victor goes out and shoots sixty four today, puts

89
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: himself at eight under, could put some pressure. So there

90
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 2: there's a lot of name value on this leaderboard as well.

91
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: And then you had one making a name for himself

92
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: and Tom Kim became one of the course heroes. Right

93
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: shoots a twenty nine on the front nine yesterday, finishes

94
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: the round with a sixty six. He's tied for ninth.

95
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: Now I know historically, you know, because we love to

96
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: go through the facts and figures of it all, twenty

97
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,679
Speaker 1: four straight where you had to be within four shots

98
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: of the lead uh to win the US Open. So

99
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: that that means we've got a very narrow, narrow cast

100
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: in that regard. Again, it includes the names you mentioned

101
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: when you talk about Clark and follow atop the board,

102
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: and then McElroy, Scheffler and Harris English would be the

103
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: five based on historical data. But to your point, so

104
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: many other big names where we've seen guys go on tears.

105
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: We've seen I mean, we saw Follower hit a sixty

106
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: nine foot putt. Yeah, I mean, and that wasn't even

107
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: the longest of the week. Like that. That's been the

108
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: fun part of it watching for me. I mean, I'm

109
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: novice minus five kind of thing. In terms of my golf.

110
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: I learned and took lessons long ago, have a couple

111
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: of kids, I don't get it, and I haven't gotten

112
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: out there A familiar story, very large everything else, and

113
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: so it kind of slides away. But you're you're observant,

114
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: and for us, a lot of the time we spend

115
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. Look, you've gotta you gotta pick

116
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: your poisons as to what you really are invested in,

117
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: and especially once your kids start playing sports. Wait, wait,

118
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: wait on the broadster running around a football gridiron or

119
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: a soccer field.

120
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, I tell you something. So my

121
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: two year old kind of dominates the TV. And by dominate,

122
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 2: don't think that he watches TV eight times, eight hours

123
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 2: a day.

124
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 3: And that's not the parent.

125
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: What it is is when he wants the channel change

126
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: to what he wants to watch, he.

127
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 3: Gets his way. Like that's what happens.

128
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: So if I could be watching something and he wants

129
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: to watch I don't know, trash Truck on Netflix, we're

130
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: changing it. Like my I lose. Yeah, it's a cartoon.

131
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: It's actually a neat little I was kind of Brian

132
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 2: Bumgardner from the Office was one of the voices.

133
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: Yes, I was kind of hoping it was like New

134
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: Jersey or Chicago, Santa.

135
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 3: Found the garbage.

136
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: Sure, wait for them.

137
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 2: We're gonna wait for the reality TV e til a

138
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 2: little bit later on. What I mean is he dominates

139
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: it by if he wants to watch something, then we'll

140
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: put it on. We try to limit it then when

141
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: it actually is on. But Mike, what I tried to do,

142
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: and what I told my wife is I want him

143
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: interested in golf, obviously, and what better way to get

144
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 2: him interested in golf than to think that it's fun.

145
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: So we had the US Open on and anytime anybody

146
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: would make a swing, we would cheer, because if we're cheering,

147
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: he cheers and collaps as well. So that was that

148
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: was my way of trying to get him into golf

149
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: at you know, the age of two years in almost

150
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: two months, was to see the swinging. Now, he loves

151
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: to take matchbox cars and throw them in drains, So

152
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 2: I'm thinking the process of taking a golf ball and

153
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 2: putting it into a golf hole would be something that

154
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: I would be right down his alley. But I'm trying

155
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: to get him that we were trying to cheer. It

156
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: didn't matter if the ball went into the to the

157
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: rough or mister ed a little bunker. I wanted him

158
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: to think like, oh, swinging, that's fun and get him

159
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 2: the clapping. I know it may be dirty pool on

160
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: my part, but I tried, Hey, you.

161
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: Know what, parenting, I don't judge. We all welcome to

162
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: things in a different way as it were. I mean, look,

163
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,559
Speaker 1: you can have one of those swings where the golf

164
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: ball ends up in the drink holder of a golf car.

165
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: I mean also things that you never thought you would

166
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: see become part of an event. And look, however, you're

167
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: taking this in for me walking around here on Tuesday.

168
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: You know you've known me a long time, Dan, and

169
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: for the listeners, have been in this slot for many

170
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: a year here on Fox Sports Radio. Grateful to do it,

171
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: Grateful to have an opportunity to come out to events

172
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: like this, when we get to go to the Super

173
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: Bowl media week, when we get to go cover basketball

174
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: whatever it's been over our run. And you've certainly been

175
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: a little more well traveled than I in that regard

176
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: Dan with with your work at the network. But there's

177
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 1: a reverence to it, right, There's a solemnity to it

178
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 1: that you come in and like we were walking in

179
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: this morning and looking at each other, like we can

180
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: go do whatever we want. We're probably gonna get tackled

181
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: forty yards if we really did try to make a

182
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: break for it onto one of the greens, but just

183
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: the idea of walking in. You've got the sun is

184
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: and up here in southern California starting starting to rise

185
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: a little bit now, getting a little brighter outside, but

186
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: you know, you've got the June gloom as they call it,

187
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: or you know, just the mists over you know, overcast

188
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: kind of haze to it. You've got the city and

189
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: the distance, like all of these things that you just

190
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: pause for a second and you're grateful and we do

191
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: it in each of our own ways for whatever the

192
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: reason is. And obviously the vocation we have talking about sports.

193
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: I take all of those things, and I've done the

194
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: monologue a few times. But like you love watching people

195
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: in that element, yes, right, because you're you're only coming

196
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 1: here if you'll love it. Right. This is not easy

197
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: to get to. It's not a cheap ticket. It is

198
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: a place that you know, and we'll get into some

199
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: of the criticisms, fair or not, of how things have

200
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: been orchestrated.

201
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 3: It's a private club, yes.

202
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: And it is remaining, yes, a private club. So to

203
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: that end, you know, you feel like you've been let

204
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: behind the velvet rope a little bit, and you're twenty

205
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: feet from these top line golfers as they take a shot,

206
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: as they show their frustration, all of those things, but

207
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: you're in with people kindred spirits, and I always celebrate that,

208
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: Like whenever we get to go to these kind of events,

209
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: it's never lost on me that we still have a capacity,

210
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: as superficial as it may be for a golf tournament,

211
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: that people get together and there's an energy that flows

212
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: in the right way.

213
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's great that you feel

214
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 3: that way.

215
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: And I don't think that I have been fortunate enough

216
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 2: to be at a bunch of US Opens. I think

217
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 2: I accounted the other day. I think this is my

218
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 2: twelfth nice that I've been to. So I've been to

219
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 2: the US Open, have covered these events before, and sometimes

220
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 2: you can get jaded, and I'm curious on your thoughts

221
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 2: on other people who maybe experience this for the first

222
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: or the second time, and there is some there is

223
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: some heaviness to it. The names that we just mentioned,

224
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 2: like someone's life is going to change, and you're gonna say,

225
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 2: Rory mcroy's got four majors, what's this gonna change? It's

226
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 2: already won the US Open, all is it gonna Rory

227
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 2: McRoy hasn't won a major since twenty fourteen years. Yes, yes,

228
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: so there's a nine year drought, plus the ringer that

229
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: he's been through over the last twelve months with Live

230
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: and to see how he was then done by it,

231
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 2: that's a heck of a story. Scotti Scheffler, if he

232
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: wins today ends up coming from three shots back, You're like, okay,

233
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 2: now this we know. He's in the conversation right now

234
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 2: as one of the best players in the world, probably

235
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 2: top two to be, to be quite honest, best ball

236
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 2: striker there is in the game. But there is a

237
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 2: different sort of atmosphere, different sort of level of player.

238
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 2: When you are a multi it's a bull major winner.

239
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 2: That's what's at stake for Scottie Scheffler. And then you

240
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,239
Speaker 2: have Ricky Fowler. And it's funny because this is a conversation.

241
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 2: When we were broadcasting out here on Thursday at the

242
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 2: Doug Gottlieb Show, Ricky Fowler was on that list of

243
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: best player to never have won a major, and he

244
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 2: wasn't removed from the list because he won a major.

245
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 2: He was removed from the list because he wasn't one

246
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 2: of the best players anymore. So now to see him

247
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 2: maybe make his mark or even a Wyndham Clark too. Again,

248
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: we mentioned just a little while ago he won just

249
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 2: a month or so ago at the Wells Fargo and Charlotte.

250
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 2: His life ends up changing. There is some gravity to

251
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 2: all of this. There is some gravity in being on site,

252
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: being at this event when someone's life is going to change,

253
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 2: And honestly, it's another chapter in the history of golf,

254
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 2: and I think that there's weight to that well.

255
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: And I think to expound a little more on the

256
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: point you made as related to the merger coming and

257
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: being announced as it was cover of darkness, kind of

258
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: like we walked into here on the course this morning,

259
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: that there's still a lot of ament wrapped up in

260
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: everybody and meetings I'm sure behind the scenes, still trying

261
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: to figure out exactly what happened, and for a guy

262
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: like Rory McElroy, who was one of the faces of

263
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: well I didn't go yes, and to be done and

264
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: not to get briefed and all of those things, to

265
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: be able to put that aside because he had a

266
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: great moment with the crowd that went viral. You know,

267
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, what are you doing? Like at the

268
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: moment he was in the lead. Yeah, and so you know,

269
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: I'm win the US Open kind of thing, So having

270
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: fun with it, but recognizing the seriousness of it and

271
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: what it means not only for his career, but also

272
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: a pretty big statement coming off of what we've seen transpire, because,

273
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: let's face it, outside of sports talk radio and sports television,

274
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: you get a little bit of golf that seeps in

275
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: that isn't what's going on with Tiger, But that story

276
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: had so much weight to it. Yes, and so you

277
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: had people on either side, the PGA and the curiosity

278
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: and the I don't know how to best describe it,

279
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: but where we're at today is we're celebrating the game again, yes,

280
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: which is which is the one hundred percent the key

281
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: to it all.

282
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: And I'm glad that we are and I'm not trying

283
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: to call out or name names or but one of

284
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 2: the things is a golf fan.

285
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 3: And I sometimes.

286
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: Unfairly make fun of hockey fans because I feel that

287
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 2: hockey fans want you to talk about their sport, and

288
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 2: then when you talk about their sport, it's not good

289
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 2: enough for them. I may be kind of in that

290
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: territory when it comes to golf. But Mike, to your

291
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: point of everybody wanted to talk about PGA tourn Live

292
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 2: and it was the only time that they talked about it.

293
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: And now we have a US Open, we have a major,

294
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 2: you know, a week or two after this whole thing,

295
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 2: and more people are talking about Jahn Morant suspension or

296
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 2: what's going to happen with Bradley Beal And you know,

297
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 2: to me, I'm like, this is the US Open. This

298
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 2: is you know, look at the names, Like I want

299
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 2: people to talk about it, but I also have to

300
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 2: under stand of kind of of where it is. And

301
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: PGA Tour and Live again, it was all about deceit.

302
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 2: It was backstabbing, it was deals in the cloak of darkness.

303
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 2: As you mentioned, like all of that stuff is not

304
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: sports related. It's so life you know related. But like

305
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: when it comes to golf. I hope people will not

306
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 2: be like, well, the guys are ten under, I'm not

307
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 2: watching the US Open. I hope they'll look at the

308
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 2: leaderboard and appreciate what we have here today.

309
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: Well, a couple of things with that, I mean is

310
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: that you only have two guys at ten under. So

311
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, there's fifteen guys. Yes, you've seen some tremendous runs,

312
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: and they're what the front nine playing far like the.

313
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: And there's three part three's on the front nine two,

314
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: so you're gonna have lower scoring.

315
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 3: But but yeah, but it.

316
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: Was a stark contrast in the graphics that you're throwing

317
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: up and evaluating scorecards and all that. But I mean

318
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: you're only getting to you know, twelve, thirteenth and fourteenth,

319
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: you're only two under. Yeah, I mean not to just

320
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: but just what for those that are saying it's the

321
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: course has been made too easy. No, how about celebrating

322
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: the couple of guys that have absolutely dominated it. And

323
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: if we are in the negative territory again, celebrate the

324
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: pageantry of it and the skill level of these players.

325
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: Given the way they've had to change out and the

326
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: way these courses have been playing I mean we had

327
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: one where the rough they're like, yeah, we don't even

328
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: know if that he's hitting his own ball because they

329
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: might have been from the practice roune that we're painting.

330
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: You know, things like that where you've had craziness. Now

331
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: where where the live thing? Not to make it about that,

332
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: but give it its last minute before we move on

333
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: into other topics related to the US Open and the

334
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: larger sporting world. Is it was something meaty because you

335
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: have the political side, you have just everybody that's been

336
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: done wrong. Yeah, to their estimation by a business, by

337
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: a partner by like everybody could relate to it in

338
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: that way. And then you start getting into litigation and

339
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: what gets found out and what gets uncovered as you

340
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: go in through the discovery, and that's where we get

341
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: the deal, right. Yeah, you're suing each other all over

342
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: the place. As soon as you start getting into discovers

343
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: like well, we don't want people to know about this

344
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: that the other why do you think you had settlements

345
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: and all those NFL cases.

346
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 3: Sure sure, right on the other side.

347
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: Was happy with whatever the dollar amount was, and the

348
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: other was like, well, while we may not be caught here,

349
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: this potentially trips us up here here here, and I

350
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 1: think for the PGA, it's very much the same kind

351
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: of circumstance, whereby the deeper you're going to things, and

352
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 1: the more disclosure that has to happen, maybe maybe not

353
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: related to live directly, but to the larger populous and

354
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: to your golfers as to how things go, because right

355
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 1: we've had a lot of battles about you know, pays

356
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: and everything else that that have happened through the years

357
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: as well.

358
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: I will say that I do think that the talk

359
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: was muted at the start of the week, and obviously

360
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: it's it's not really a conversation Rory mclroy. You know,

361
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 2: we're looking on a screen after he met with the

362
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 2: media yesterday and and you know, he's not being asked

363
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 2: the questions he's being asked about his round. But there

364
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 2: is something to that. I mean, there was a there

365
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 2: was a recent piece where you know, an unnamed source

366
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 2: said that most people would be welcome back, or you know,

367
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 2: the live players have no problem with anyone, but.

368
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: Someone named Rory's name of being like.

369
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: You know, they use the term that wasn't too friendly

370
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 2: in describing Rory, and it's really unfair because he's just

371
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 2: been an amazing ambassador to the game and just some

372
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 2: people just may not like that. So that story is,

373
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 2: that story is there, and I really I think the

374
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 2: Ricky Fowler story is really you know, yeah, I think.

375
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 3: A million levels. Yeah.

376
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: Right, when you've been battling, scratching, as you said, you

377
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: have that list, that leaderboard that maybe you knocked. It's

378
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: kind of like the end of a Friday Night Lights

379
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: or whatever, when you've got the depth chart and you

380
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: knock the guy into the bin or into the drawing

381
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: because you don't need him. He's not on the depth chart.

382
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: But with a big effort here and perhaps a big

383
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: final round, we have that opportunity for Ricky Fowler to

384
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: put his name back on that map. At Damn Buyer

385
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,680

Speaker 1: we've seen over the first part of our US Open

395
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: experience and what we're expecting here for the final round.

396

Speaker 1: We'll do that next year on Fox Sports Radio. Greetings,

397
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: Welcome back in Fox Sports Radios. Fox Sports Sunday, Mike Harmon,

398

Speaker 1: Dan Byer with you live from the mobile tirerac dot

399
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: Com studios here live at La Country Club, site of

400
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: the US Open. As we get ready for the final round.

401
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: Some of the big names on the leader board broke

402
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: it down a little bit earlier. Happy Father's Day to

403
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: everybody there. Also a happy birthday to my mom. Everybody

404
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: say up nicely so they may be listening. So I'll

405
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: say all sorts of positive things about myself, and I

406
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: won't be self deprecating at all, because I've been told

407
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: I'm too negative towards my life. So but that's what

408
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: makes radio, isn't that what we do in sports talk

409
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: radio and sports television. But we're here at the US

410
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: Open day and you've been here about I got around

411
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: a little bit on Tuesday when I came and got

412
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: my credential everybody's so kind and helpful and pointing out

413
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,959
Speaker 1: all the little little nooks and crannies of things and

414
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: really being very welcoming. As I made my way to

415
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: the media center and then walked around and caught a

416
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: couple of shots of the practice round and guys kind

417
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: of trying to figure things out look at each other. Yeah,

418
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: I don't even know what I did there, you know,

419
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: that kind of thing in the practice round. But for you,

420
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: you've gotten around. I think you said you only had

421
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: a couple of holes you haven't been able to get

422
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: to over the couple of days here. But what's the

423
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: experience been.

424
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 2: Like, Yeah, I think it's it's very un because this ground,

425
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 2: the way that this terrain is there is not it

426
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 2: is not fan friendly. We'll just put it that way.

427
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 2: There are not simple pathways to go through. We've heard

428
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: so much about the baranka on the course. It's it's difficult.

429
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 2: It's not just in the you know, a course that's

430
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 2: put in the field and flat. Everywhere there are there

431
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 2: are sometimes difficulties getting around, however, and being around. One

432
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 2: of the conversations that you hear so much is, you know,

433
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 2: the atmosphere isn't isn't there, and there's only twenty two

434
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 2: thousand people allowed on site. It's actually allowed things to

435
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 2: move a lot easier. You're moving freer, and I think

436
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 2: that if you are a spectator at an event like this,

437
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 2: that is a benefit. There may be only been like

438
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 2: one or two log jams when earlier in the week following,

439
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 2: you know, Rory McElroy and Brooks Kopko were playing with

440
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 2: the Deckie Matsuyama. So it's gonna be the Marquee group

441
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 2: and maybe a couple of points where it was a

442
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 2: little little bottleneck. That's about it. It's it's spaced out,

443
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 2: it's pretty well. The Merchandise ten is on the south course,

444
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 2: on the other side of willshar Boulevard, so there's I

445
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 2: think it's I think it's gone very well in terms

446
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 2: of being a comfortable watch if you are on site.

447
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 2: There are spots on the course people were saying, hey,

448
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 2: what about when Ricky made that seventy foot putt on

449
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 2: thirteen there was no reaction. Well, the spectators aren't allowed

450
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 2: to go that far on the course. There's no bleach

451
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 2: that's right where the Playboy Mansion is. What was the

452
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 2: Playbook Mansion is right there. So there are spots on

453
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 2: the course that you don't see, but I think it's

454
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: been fine. I'm curious actually from your perspective on what

455
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 2: it's like because I'm a golf fan. I've been to these.

456
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 2: It's kind of become the norm. While there's some different things.

457
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 2: Your guy that's gone to Super Bowl, it's been big

458
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: college football games, big baseball games. What are your thoughts

459
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 2: on this? For being a first time major at a

460
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: golf golf event.

461
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: I would say here, you know, obviously, look, I lived

462
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: up in the San Francisco Bay area for a couple

463
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: of years when I was working at Yahoo, and we

464
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: got out to Pebble Beach a few times, right, so

465
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: I have a little experience with you know, the big

466
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: name things, and certainly went one during a competition round

467
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: and the other during the pro am, you know, Emitt

468
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: Smith and all those guys wandering around. And I had

469
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: the luxury of having a wrapped car that was a

470
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: new thing back then, right with the branding of the car.

471
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: And they let me have the little car that they

472
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: had wrapped with the Yahoo logo, which meant I was

473
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: also now really working because everybody wanted to know about

474
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: the car and start selling everything of Yahoo. But walking

475
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: around the courses there, I mean, it's a place with

476
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: the history and the reverence, and it's known to even

477
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: the most casual La Country Club not quite the same.

478
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: So when you come in in the gates here, like

479
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: I was saying before, a little bit of the you know,

480
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: it's it's special because it's different, it's private. It feels

481
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: like you're like we were walking in by ourselves and

482
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: looking around and there's nobody around except some folks kind

483
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: of fixing things a little bit here and there or

484
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 1: getting ready for the day. But you feel like you're

485
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: in a place that's a little unto itself and that

486
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 1: you've gotten behind the velvet rope. And even coming out

487
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: here on Tuesday in the practice round, people are just

488
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: excited again. The walkways, not massive crowds, and being able

489
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: to go and just say all right, according to the board.

490
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: My guys over here, and they knew within a couple

491
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: of minutes they weren't going to be in this huge

492
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: bottleneck and be in this massive crowd that you were

493
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: trying to fight against or whatever, that they were gonna

494
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: be able to get over there. And they're texting each

495
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 1: other back and forth like yeah, I made it, you know,

496
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,719
Speaker 1: like that, and you could just see the excitement. And

497
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: then you know, it's always something for me when someone

498
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: turns and all of a sudden, like all right, they're

499
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: gonna tee off and they're coming our way, right, and

500
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: you're standing near the hole, and there's just that anticipation

501
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,239
Speaker 1: one that they're gonna hit a great shot and you're

502
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: gonna get to see it. The second that you're not

503
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 1: gonna be able to judge where the ball is, so

504
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: chaos may ensue in any moment. So there's a little

505
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: bit of that excitement that comes in as well, especially

506
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: in a practice round, because they were trying to everybody

507
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: was trying to just figure out how forgiving each of

508
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: the holes were going to be. And I didn't get

509
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: to wander too extensively, but from the couple that I did,

510
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: it was all right, I'm gonna drop another ball and

511
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: take another hit to try to figure out the lay.

512
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: And then we watched it as it started to play

513
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: this weekend and watching the television coverage, like they start

514
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: to go in the telestrat it's like, yeah, everybody's aiming

515
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: for this fifteen feet right here. Because they've figured out

516
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: it's dead and word has gotten back to everybody that

517
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: this is where you need to hit it. Or there

518
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: was the one putt where it was like a mini

519
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: golf course where it got to the rail and down

520
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: it went and narrowly missed. But playing the slopes and

521
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 1: all that. So there's those added elements. But watching people's

522
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: reaction to shot here on Tuesday, I don't know, there's

523
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: just something about it, right. We all do it a

524
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: little bit, you more than I in terms of getting

525
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: out to a driving range or going to the muni

526
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: or whatever wherever you may be across the country. Here,

527
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: Like every shot, like people just stop and wait to

528
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: see the reaction, wait to hear the ping, wait to

529
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: hear all of those things. And there's to me, I'm

530
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: such a novice, but I love whatever gets people fired

531
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: up in their lives, Dan, whatever it is. Yeah, and

532
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: people that are making their way here and making the

533
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 1: pilgrimage here because it's not easy to get to no right,

534
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: driving in, taking shuttles, all of these things to get

535
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: to this course. You've made an investment and you can

536
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: see it in everybody's faces with every shot they hear.

537
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's I've used this line before. If you

538
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 2: want to watch golf, don't come to a golf tournament,

539
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 2: because you know, because you're watching one player swing and

540
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 2: even on that particular hole.

541
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 3: You don't know if you're in the best spot when

542
00:26:59,400 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 3: you see them.

543
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 2: If Rory McElroy is playing the sixth hole, well that

544
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: means that I'm you know, probably don't see Scotti Scheffler

545
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 2: playing the seventh hole.

546
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 3: Or the eighth.

547
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: Just it happens where the actually lands.

548
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 3: That's the other part of it.

549
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 2: And it's actually where I was going to go with

550
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 2: this is there is there is a battle even within

551
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 2: that do you want to see the player hit the

552
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 2: ball or do you want to see where the ball lands?

553
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 2: And is it better to just that's why you know

554
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 2: there's bleachers around the greens, but sometimes you also have them,

555
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: uh behind the tee, not in the first tee here,

556
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 2: but there are there are places here where you can

557
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 2: you can see that on the par four there's a

558
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 2: big bleacher that is set up that is a nice

559
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 2: view of the course. But that is that's what you

560
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 2: have to take from it. I know Ethan Miller are

561
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 2: our executive producer of the show is out here as well,

562
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 2: and I'm curious Ethan on your thoughts. And when I

563
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 2: saw Ethan actually on the grounds, randomly bumped into them.

564
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 2: He was geeked because he was watching Cam Smith. Ethan,

565
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 2: what were you What was your takeaway when you're on

566
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 2: the grounds here at ELI on Thursday.

567
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 4: Well, guys, happy Father's Day to today.

568
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 3: Thank you very much.

569
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 5: Yes, you know, honestly, I just piggybacking off what you're saying.

570
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 5: It's this is the first time I've ever experienced any

571
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 5: golf tournament, so this was just about the experience. It

572
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 5: was so cool just to be there. I've never been

573
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 5: so close to like those type of golfers. We were

574
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 5: walking next to Rory and Brookes. I was like losing

575
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 5: my minds, like how this is so cool because in

576
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 5: other sports you don't get up that close. You don't

577
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 5: have that, like Mike was saying that like inclusive, exclusive,

578
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 5: you know, uh type of you know, format to the game.

579
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 5: But the problem that I was having and what you're

580
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 5: talking about, is you don't go to a golf tournament

581
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 5: if you're looking to watch it. Because here's my issue, Like,

582
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 5: I'll be there later today, I'll probably see you guys,

583
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 5: I'll shoot you a text, all right. And my issue

584
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 5: is is that you know, I want to I want

585
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 5: to follow Scottie and I want to follow Rory. But

586
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 5: the problem is that I don't know really how to follow.

587
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 5: You know, I don't like you're saying, do you stay

588
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 5: down at like the second shot or follow the t shot?

589
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 5: It's just a long walk eighteen holes. Is like, I

590
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 5: don't even know how to do that.

591
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: Well, you're really young and get fast tracked, and I mean,

592
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: look how many years I had to work at Fox

593
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: Sports Radio before I got to go to this and

594
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: that you're just you just walked up, so you know

595
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,479
Speaker 1: it's but you'll be okay. You're a lot younger than

596
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: Dan and I, especially me, I'm an old man.

597
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 2: There is a point in terms of what you're saying

598
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 2: where this is what I tell people. If you want

599
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 2: to watch Rory McRoy or Scotty Scheffler, you're not going

600
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 2: to be able to watch them for the eighteen holes.

601
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 2: What you have to do is you got to plan ahead.

602
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 2: You jump ahead, and you say, all right, there on

603
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 2: the fourth hole, I'm going to be on the sixth hole.

604
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 2: So then that group comes through and on Thursday and Friday.

605
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 2: It's a little different now with the leaders, everything's going

606
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 2: to be backed up towards the end of more people

607
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: are going to be sticking around. But you do want

608
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 2: to jump ahead so you can get a good You're

609
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 2: gonna have to sacrifice some of that. You can't watch

610
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: every single shot that they do and.

611
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: Or you got to run really fast. Yeah, and I

612
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: don't think the marshals and.

613
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 3: It's definitely frowned upon it Augusta National.

614
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 2: The The the fact is is that because that's where

615
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 2: everybody's attention is also going to be. And this is

616
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: you know Mike alluded to, this isn't the easiest course

617
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 2: to get around a lot of undulation. It does make

618
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 2: it difficult, Honestly, it makes difficult than any any tournament. Sure,

619
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 2: Like you're like, if you're going to follow like imagine,

620
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 2: imagine what it was like with Tiger Woods.

621
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 3: You know, this is like this is this is no

622
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 3: but that's just.

623
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 2: You know, I mean it was you know, it's it's

624
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 2: crazy and if you want to follow Rory for any

625
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 2: significant amount of time, really you're not going to see

626
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 2: a good, good view of Rory. So you kind of

627
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 2: got to balance that it's yeah, see what happens with

628
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 2: the golf.

629
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 5: So pretty much I'm pretty much going to see like

630
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 5: four shots of Rory if I'm like because I'm not

631
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 5: going to be able to see.

632
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: Ye to charge, charge your phone battery and whatever streaming

633
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: service you have, keep it with you. I think that

634
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: would probably be the best way to go. Obviously, turn

635
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: your sound down, have your earbuds in.

636
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 2: But I like to see guys hit at tea boxes.

637
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 2: I do just because of.

638
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: I just like those reactions.

639
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 5: Sorry, you physically can't like walk from like a tea

640
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 5: box all the way down to a green. There's certain

641
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 5: holes that doesn't allow that, right, right, all right, yeah,

642
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 5: all right.

643
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. We've looked at the map and it's like the

644
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: thing you get at a when you go out with

645
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: your kid to a restaurant, and it's got the little

646
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: path you have to try to get to the end, right,

647
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: good luck. Because Dan and I were looking at like

648
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: we had we had the maze, right. We looked at

649
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: the chorus as it was set up, and Dan sent

650
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: it to me the other day and we started talking

651
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: about it a little bit and it's like, well, here's difficulty,

652
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: here's a thou shalt not pass kind of area like

Speaker 1: you're in the Lord of the Rings. Here's there's, there's

654
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: all of these and then you've got a couple of

655
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: spots where you've got multiple holes kind of diet verging, Yes,

656

Speaker 6: wonderful memory from yesterday. And so glad I still have

673
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 6: a voice today. A voice said, in a little bit,

674
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 6: we'll be giving you guys some historical perspective on Major

675
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 6: League Baseball. But first, on Saturday night, Bob Huggins resigned

676
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 6: as the head men's basketball coach at West Virginia after

677
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 6: he was arrested on Friday night on a duy charge.

678
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 6: He'd already been suspended for the first three games of

679
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 6: the upcoming season after making homophobic remarks on a radio program.

680
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 6: After three rounds of the US Open and Los Angeles

681
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 6: Country Club, Ricky Fowler and Wyndham Clark, who was actually

682
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 6: a guy and not a hotel, are tied for the

683
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 6: lead at ten under par overall. Rory McElroy one back

684
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 6: of nine under, Scottie Scheffler three back at seven under.

685
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 6: Clark and Fowler will tee off at five thirty Eastern time.

686
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 6: In Major League Baseball on Saturday night, the Giants beat

687
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 6: the Dodgers in LA fifteen to nothing.

688
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: It was the.

689
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 6: Dodgers' largest home shutout loss in one hundred and twenty

690
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 6: five years since eighteen ninety eight, when they were known

691
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 6: as the Brooklyn bride Grooms. They faced such National League

692
00:33:54,600 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 6: rivals that season as the Chicago Orphans and the Cleveland spiders.

693
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: Where do we get some of the merch?

694
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 6: You know what, that ain't a bad idea.

695
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we get spiders that I don't know,

696
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: and I've ever seen the I don't know that I've

697
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: ever seen the orphans logo.

698
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 6: I think I think the Orphan's logo would be kind

699
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 6: of sad. But I'm kind of wondering why didn't they

700
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 6: instead of naming them the Guardians, just renamed them the Spider.

701
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 3: There was a big push for that, to be honest, but.

702
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 6: You know why it didn't happen because it made too

703
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 6: much sense. That's why the bridegroom's roster in eighteen ninety

704
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 6: eight included such luminaries as grim Gaston.

705
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: Nice and car Hey early Tobacco Cardell.

706
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,760
Speaker 6: I'll tell you what that might increase the value this connection.

707
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 6: One hundred and twenty five years later, Grim Gaston and

708
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 6: Magoon Howell of the eighteen Hours Brooklyn bride Grooms. Also

709
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 6: on Saturday Night, the Padres to beat a Tampa Bay

710
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 6: two to nothing. Blake Snell struck twelve and six innings

711
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 6: against his former team. Finally in the NBA three times

712
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 6: six Man of the Air Award winner Lou Williams announced

713

Speaker 1: Dan Byer at Dan Byer on Fox. He is looking

747
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,720
Speaker 1: at the grid of the whole placement for the final

748
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 1: round as we come down the stretch. Here all the

749
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: big names we've been talking about it. We'll get back

750
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: into it in earnest coming up in about ten minutes

751
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: from now, and any insights Dan you've gleaned from that.

752
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: But Bob Huggins, long career Division one coach since nineteen

753
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 1: eighty four, West Virginia coach blew up point two one

754
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: second dui. In recent months, you had the incident on

755
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: the radio or podcast radio show, the homophobic slur. So

756
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: already you know, kind of at the end of his

757
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: rope here and many wondering if that was going to

758
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: be the final straw. But then you get the details

759
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: of how this came to pass and in terms of

760
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: this dui and all the people that may have been affected, right,

761
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,240
Speaker 1: we talk about it a lot of near misses and

762
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,399
Speaker 1: but for the grace of God, this that the other

763
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:47,720
Speaker 1: short drives from the watering hole or wherever you are home, right, many,

764
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: many people have had that experience here. We're talking about

765
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: a very long run of driving, covering several states in

766
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: terms of where the borders are, as well as people

767
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: from a Taylor Swift show, which we know is sixty

768
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: thousand people. Like all of this comes in and now

769
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 1: he resigns, and the question becomes, all right, for the players,

770
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: well you can transfer, right, that window opens at a

771
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: coaching change, but we've had so much movement already. I mean,

772
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: where you're going to find a spot, And for the

773
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: assistant coaches, there's no guarantee they get to keep their jobs.

774
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 2: Correct, there is a report as well that West Virginia

775
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 2: is going to look at a full time replacement. And

776
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 2: what's interesting with that is sometimes when you have the

777
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 2: level of program at West Virginia, maybe it would take

778
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 2: someone from you know, a lesser school, smaller school, mid major,

779
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 2: and then they can move up and promote. But and

780
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 2: you still could do that. That is still absolutely an option.

781
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 2: He was just that ended up screwing that school. That

782
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 2: seems to be the route that they want to go

783
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 2: is they want a full time, long term solution, and

784
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 2: if it comes at the sacrifice of the kids that

785
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 2: are on the team now or this upcoming season, then

786
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 2: so be it.

787
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 3: That seems to be the route they're gonna take.

788
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, if you're a kid that's gonna transfer, heck,

789
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 2: we're more than you know, we're past the halfway point

790
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 2: in June, that's not the That is not necessarily ideal.

791
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 2: Sometimes you'd have an assistant that would just move up.

792
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 2: I mean, heck, we saw it a you know, Texas,

793
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 2: but that was in December, those mid season. They really

794
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 2: had no other option. So Rodney Terry ends up ascending

795
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 2: to that, you know, to that top job, and ends

796
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 2: up you know, keeping it. But yeah, it's a it's

797
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 2: a really really tough spot. But again, Bob Huggins put

798
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 2: them in that tough.

799
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: No, and that's the and that's the thing, right, And

800
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: that's why we focused on that part. For Bob Huggins,

801
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: great career, long career, one of the longest running, most

802
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,240
Speaker 1: recognizable coaches in the game. We hope he gets whatever

803
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 1: help he needs. And obviously fortunate nobody was injured in

804
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: any of this. But now you've got a bunch of

805
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: other people that have to pick up the pieces based

806
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: on the bad decision that he made.

807
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's likely going to be a school that

808
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 2: could end up thing screwed because they could lose their

809
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 2: head coach to Westford.

810
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: That's it. He's Dan Buyer. I'm Mike Carmen here live

Speaker 1: we will get in to where the whole placement is

815
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: what we expect to see and the wide variations of

816
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: down and distance. Yeah, it's been a crazy course and

817
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: we'll tell you all about it next. John Fox, that

818

Speaker 1: just pumped in through the audio wizardry was louder than

828
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: the galleries they experienced yesterday.

829
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 7: Here.

830
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 3: Come on, maybe some of that's true me some of it.

831
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,320
Speaker 1: We'll see how long it is. Because I am loud

832
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: and obnoxious. We know this before I get someone holding

833
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: up a paddle telling me to be quiet or something.

834
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: Here in the media center at Swollen Dome at dan

835
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: Byer on Fox Dan posting a couple of photos from

836
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: our entry here this morning. It was just us, a

837
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: couple of people fixing microphones, maybe working a little bit

838
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 1: on the greens and kind of looking after some things

839
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: folks along the highways and byways and moving things around.

840
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: But it was just us. We were like two kids

841
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: in a candy store.

842
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 2: There are people out on the course with the flashlights

843
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 2: on their heads, and I posted a video on Twitter

844
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 2: at Dan Byer on Fox if you want to see

845
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 2: the camera that I used aided how the course looked.

846
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,280
Speaker 3: Like it's but the two things to notice.

847
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 2: It was a lot darker actually than what the video shows.

848
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 2: But you'll also notice that the marine layer is still here,

849
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 2: so the open skies, and it's going to take some

850
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 2: burning off to do so the course will probably be

851
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 2: a little bit softer. But not because Mike and I

852
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,720
Speaker 2: did anything to the greens when nobody was around.

853
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 1: No, No, we debated it, or at least I did.

854
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: I might have had that internal dialogue. I was like, well,

855
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: maybe how far can I get to the stick before

856
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 1: someone comes and Terry takes me to the turf? Or

857
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: or like we saw a couple of weeks ago, let

858
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: me pop a bottle champagne. Bad, just crazy. But to

859
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: your point, right, marine layer, and in watching the broadcast

860
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: and being out here earlier in the week and you've

861
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: been here a lot, Dan, how much different the course

862
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: plays as the day goes on, right, as as the

863
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: marine layer burns off talk about the conditions and the

864
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: soft landing spot that maybe becomes a huge advantage early

865
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: that comes off the board, and now the strategy has

866
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: to change as you get later into the day. And

867
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: as we saw yesterday, you know you're doing the breakneck

868
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,240
Speaker 1: pace of those final groups trying to get your final

869
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: three holes in before nightfall. It felt like everybody was

870
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: playing at a little bit of an accelerated pace to

871
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 1: make sure they got through their eighteen.

872
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 2: I saw a lot of stuff on Twitter, and this

873
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 2: is actually something that is not new to a West

874
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 2: Coast US Open, where they put the fun around in

875
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 2: prime time on the East coast so they can people

876
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 2: are like, yeah, I'm watching the US Open in the dark.

877
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 3: This is awesome. It's you know nine point thirty here.

878
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 2: The marine layer did hurt the light like that was

879
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 2: It wasn't that the sun was setting, was that the

880
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 2: sun was blocked by this thick layer of clouds. That's

881
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 2: why it seemed so dark. Out where I live in

882
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 2: southern California, there is no marine layer, so it was fine.

883
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:06,720
Speaker 3: It was bright.

884
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 2: You can play the seven thirty eight o'clock and it

885
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 2: doesn't get as kind of we're inching in on the

886
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 2: longest day of the year here in a couple of days.

887
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 3: It doesn't stay light.

888
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 2: Out here for a longer period of time like in

889
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 2: northern parts of the country, a lot longer different spots

890
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 2: of where you're in the time zone. But the point

891
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 2: is is, yeah, so I'll go down here at about

892
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 2: eight o'clock and because of the marine layer, it made

893
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 2: it a lot darker at seven thirty.

894
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 3: The cameras kind of.

895
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 1: Didn't I maybe they didn't do him any favors, yes, right,

896
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: I mean, and maybe maybe there's something to be said

897
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: that the live experience versus televised because certainly, you know,

898
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: in watching the broadcast kind of you know, my daughter's

899
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: sidled up as we're watching and they're like, where are

900
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: we at? And you know what's going on. It's like, well,

901
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,320
Speaker 1: it's around three, but they're trying to make sure before

902
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: it gets dark and you're watching it on television and

903
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: you know it's not that dark out yes, right, because

904
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 1: I'm looking out my window. But it's the same same

905
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: idea with the marine layer now looking up and trying

906
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 1: to track things and play through it became a much

907
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 1: different environment. We'll see how it plays out today.

908
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 3: I know you live near the coast.

909
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 2: I used to live just down Wilshire in Santa Monica

910
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 2: for years, and I know it doesn't resonate with people

911
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 2: that aren't from southern California, but I do know that

912
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 2: there are days where I would get to what is

913
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 2: the four or five, and there would be no marine layer,

914
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 2: and it's twenty degrees warmer than it is, you know,

915
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 2: just a couple of miles down the road.

916
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and that's certainly something that you know if

917
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: you've visited southern California. Wherever you're listening, we appreciate you.

918
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: Happy Father's Day to my mom, Happy Birthday. My brothers

919
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 1: are down there. Hopefully the stuff we sent gets there.

920
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: If not, I'll blame the post office all of those things.

921
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: But we have the gradients, right, Whenever you have a

922
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 1: weather report, it's like, well, it'll be the upper seventies

923
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,399
Speaker 1: maybe near the beaches, but go ten miles in it's

924
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: the and to get to the valley. Now we're talking

925
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: one hundred and five. So you've got these giant bands

926
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,879
Speaker 1: of how how disparate and different the weather can be

927
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,879
Speaker 1: over a twenty mile period, and that's no different here

928
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: with the marine layer and how quickly it burns off.

929
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,720
Speaker 1: It's down by the beach. It may be three pm. Here,

930
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 1: you got patches where it started around noon where the

931
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: visibility kind of opened up. But I'd be curious for

932
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,280
Speaker 1: this final round. You knows, as you've got the grid

933
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: of whole configurations. We've seen some pretty crazy shots. Yeah,

934
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 1: it's some pretty crazy adventurous things. Too bad. Phil Michelson's

935
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 1: it's still not with us for the final day and

936
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: try to chase because Lord knows what he would do

937
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 1: with a course like this in the final day.

938
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 2: Yesterday or today, I can't remember what day it was,

939
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 2: but he did celebrate a birthday.

940
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, if it celebrated too much.

941
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 2: The whole wait the cut, The whole placements are out

942
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 2: for the final round one of the quick Just the

943
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 2: final point about just the marine layer, and I'll get

944
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 2: to these pin locations. Is we've seen us opens at

945
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 2: Tory Pines. Heck, if you watch when John rom Wins,

946
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 2: who was an overcast marine layer, three pounds is right

947
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 2: on the ocean. Same thing with Pebble Beach. Even Riviera

948
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 2: is closer to the ocean than we are right now.

949
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 2: But there you don't necessarily know and you know, where

950
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 2: I'm from in the Midwest, there could be an opportunity

951
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 2: for a rain shower, or if the the you know,

952
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 2: the tournament's being held in New York, you know, there's

953
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 2: always a chance for a summer shower at overnight thunderstorm

954
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 2: or something like that, they could completely change the setup

955
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 2: of the course. We're probably not going to get rain,

956
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 2: you know, even though we've had a rainier year this

957
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 2: year in southern California. It is very difficult to predict

958
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 2: the marine layer and what it's going to do. And

959
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 2: that's who they fell victim to. But in looking at

960
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 2: some of these these pin placements, I am not surprised

961
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 2: that they used the short location at fifteen yesterday. There

962
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 2: is a tough back pin location to the right that

963
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,439
Speaker 2: they will use on fifteen, just four paces off. That's

964
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,280
Speaker 2: going to be difficult, But you didn't want an eighty

965
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 2: one yard hole to be the sixty ninth hole of

966
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 2: a seventy two hole.

967
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 1: Champions Psychologically, that's got to be a pretty gripping thing

968
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: for golfers to approach, right because by way of contrast,

969
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 1: what we have five fifty seven, five fifty eight, depending

970
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 1: on how you're measuring as well, but you had the

971
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: eighty one yard and that was the you know, we

972
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: were talking about how the delicious theater. We had a

973
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 1: guest on what was about a month ago talking about

974
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 1: setting up the course and some of the surprises that

975
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: were in store, and how short you'd be able to play,

976
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,800
Speaker 1: and just how different round a round, just moving things

977
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 1: a little bit here and there makes it play so

978
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: much differently, and so I think for this final round,

979
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the the fun piece. But yeah,

980
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: eighty one yards because you go up there thinking, ah,

981
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 1: well eighty one yard. Well no, there's all sorts.

982
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 2: Of things, yes, yes, and if you miss it here

983
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 2: you're going to have a difficult time getting it close.

984
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 3: I don't think that it had.

985
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 2: The results that they thought could happen.

986
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 3: I think guys handled it pretty well.

987
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:16,840
Speaker 2: But again, even in just looking at you know, looking

988
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 2: at totals here, there've only been seven scores of worse

989
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 2: than double bogie throughout the three days. So it's kind

990
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 2: of why you've also got a you know, a leader

991
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 2: board where you can see it in groups. You've got

992
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 2: the two tens, the nines, and the seven, and then

993
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 2: it goes you know, six and the fives and a

994
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 2: couple of fours and a bunch of threes. There's been

995
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:42,760
Speaker 2: no real separation and there is no water on this course,

996
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 2: so if you're going to lose a ball, you're going

997
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 2: to hit it in the junk or it's going to

998
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 2: be in the stuff that you can't find. There's not

999
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 2: a lot of that. The pins, as you mentioned, gush

1000
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 2: looking at it here. Number two is just four paces off.

1001
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 2: Three is on a front lobe that's surrounded by bunkers.

1002
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,359
Speaker 2: Six the driveable hole was going to be front right

1003
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 2: today you could be some see.

1004
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 3: Some fireworks there, a lot of tuck pins.

1005
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 2: The only pin that I see on this core sheet

1006
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:13,879
Speaker 2: that isn't really tucked, if you will, is eleven, which

1007
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 2: is the downhill par three, which I'll give you a

1008
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 2: quick story on eleven in the second.

1009
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 1: How quickly the ball plays there.

1010
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's it's it's you know, thirty two paces

1011
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:25,240
Speaker 2: from the front.

1012
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:26,479
Speaker 3: It is. It is in the back.

1013
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 2: But that's the downhill par three that can play two

1014
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty two hundred and ninety yards, so you're

1015
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 2: going to have to hit quite a shot to get

1016
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 2: the ball back there. It's funny because when I did

1017
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,879
Speaker 2: the contest of the in playing on the media day,

1018
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 2: I used holes six and fifteen, and I think that

1019
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 2: those are the two holes that have guardered the most attention.

1020
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 2: But whenever you saw any hype about lacc any picture,

1021
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 2: you saw the eleventh hole. The eleventh hole is the

1022
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 2: one that was with the it's a par three. The

1023
00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 2: green is set down Redance style green with the skyline

1024
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 2: in the background.

1025
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 3: That is the one that you always see.

1026
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 2: But it's interesting to me to see as this championship

1027
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 2: has come too and is now here. There's all the

1028
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 2: conversation about six, and there was all the conversation about

1029
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,760
Speaker 2: fifteen because of the short length of it, and fifteen

1030
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 2: has had the hole in ones. Eleven I think was

1031
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 2: really the signature whole of this course doesn't get as much.

1032
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 2: A pub today should be a brute with a pin

1033
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 2: all the way in the back.

1034
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: Which reminds me we do have I picked up a

1035
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: hat like I wanted to follow in the tradition of

1036
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: the Dan Bayern Yes contest. So we need to figure

1037
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 1: out exactly what we've got people shooting for. Okay, who's

1038
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: doing the shooting.

1039
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 2: I'm about picking a winner and a score and if

1040
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 2: we don't have a winner, if you've picked the winner

1041
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 2: or the winning score in relation to par, then we

1042
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 2: could have a drawing and see who wins.

1043
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 3: How about that.

1044
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:49,959
Speaker 1: Sounds good to me? And if there is a time,

1045
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: turn that out in a tweet.

1046
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, you send it to at Swollen Dome. Pick the

1047
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 2: winning score in relation to par. Don't give us, like

1048
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 2: you know, eight, that's too tough for.

1049
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:02,880
Speaker 1: Us to figure out.

1050
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 2: Just give us twelve underpar or whatever whatever you think

1051
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 2: it's going to be.

1052
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: Well to that point, Dan, something I brought up a

1053
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 1: little bit earlier, right that the rudimentary here's some of

1054
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 1: the facts and figures. Twenty four straight years you had

1055
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 1: to be within four shots of the lead to win.

1056
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:22,280
Speaker 1: Do you think that holds today? Or are we looking

1057
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: at a larger pool where someone can maybe sneak from

1058
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: the back right. You know, we talked a little bit

1059
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 1: about Tom Kim in the round he put up. Can

1060
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:34,399
Speaker 1: somebody do something similar on this final stretch, maybe to

1061
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 1: someone hitting off a little earlier, because they could take

1062
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: advantage of the soft softer.

1063
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:43,800
Speaker 2: Iurse, I think I would still include the guys five

1064
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:47,280
Speaker 2: shots back because of who they are, Because it's Dustin

1065
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:51,320
Speaker 2: Johnson and Xandersoftley. Xander got off to an awful start.

1066
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 2: You would not yesterday, you would not expect that to

1067
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 2: happen today. Should be able to take advantage of it,

1068
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 2: really should have. You know, everybody's birdying one, he ends

1069
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 2: up boging it if he plays it like everybody else does.

1070
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 3: He's only three shots back.

1071
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 2: He's also a guy that shot sixty two, and Dustin

1072
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 2: Johnson shot sixty four earlier this week, so they've shown

1073
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 2: that they can go low. I would put them in

1074
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:17,359
Speaker 2: the conversation. I know I mentioned earlier in the show.

1075
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 2: You know Victor Hoblin sitting there at two under. I

1076
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 2: think Victor hobbinkove go out there. He's the type of

1077
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 2: guy that could shoot sixty four and put a number

1078
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 2: up there. It's just too many good players. Like if

1079
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,359
Speaker 2: Holland shoots sixty four, that would probably be the only

1080
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 2: opportunity for him to really do something.

1081
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 3: But yeah, of everybody else, I think it's going to

1082
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 3: be different.

1083
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:40,919
Speaker 2: Cam Smith, you know, is at three under again, he'd

1084
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 2: have to shoot a sixty five sixty four to really

1085
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:44,280
Speaker 2: be in contention.

1086
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 3: I would stretch it out the five Mike.

1087
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna I'm gonna say, yeah, if if anybody

1088
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 2: has a chance, it's gonna be the two guys at

1089
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 2: five hunder to break that stat Yeah.

1090
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 1: You know me, as much as I love the names

1091
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 1: up the top of the board of it, I like

1092
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of chaos mixed in to where you

1093
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: get a little bit of a charge, because it gives

1094
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: us a little bit of extra juice in the final

1095
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: round of a major. Here at what is such a

1096
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 1: unique setup. You've got the history and we know the

1097
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: courses that people have played. Right, Yesterday, June seventeenth, is

1098
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: an anniversary of a lot of things. By the way,

1099
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 1: Micholson is June sixteenth, So.

1100
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 2: Happy today is Paul McCartney as well as my mom's

1101
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 2: happy eighty first, Sir Paul.

1102
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 1: But yeah, there you go. I've getting a lot of

1103
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: birthday birthday love in as it were. But you know,

1104
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 1: we're looking at just the course and it's setting up

1105
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:44,840
Speaker 1: here in the all the other historical things. But on

1106
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 1: June seventeenth, right, what was it ninety four or was

1107
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 1: it ninety five? The last Jack Nicholas.

1108
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, us opening, Yes, it would be all the way

1109
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:56,399
Speaker 2: to eighty six.

1110
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, eighty six.

1111
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 1: Ninety five would have been the end. So like June

1112
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 1: seventeen has had a lot of days because obviously, you know,

1113
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,320
Speaker 1: most folks remember they were watching the NBA Finals or

1114
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: trying to when a certain white automobile took over the

1115
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 1: freeways here of southern California. So you know that was

1116
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: ninety four. Yeah, So like all of these things happening

1117
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:22,799
Speaker 1: out June seventeen, that was just a convergence of a

1118
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 1: lot of big things happening on that date throughout the years.

1119
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: But you know, just but putting that in, you know,

1120
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 1: Jack Nicholas and the US Open and sitting here today

1121
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 1: and someone being able to etch their name into history,

1122
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 1: is it, you know, the long awaited return to a

1123
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:42,320
Speaker 1: major victory for McElroy like we talked about earlier, or

1124
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:45,399
Speaker 1: does Ricky Fowler finally get that moment? And I think

1125
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot of folks the sentimental is all right, Ricky.

1126
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,800
Speaker 1: So like when he missed that putt to hang around yesterday,

1127
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: there was you could hear the exl from television's nationwide.

1128
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 2: Gut Punch, and you knew that Wyndam Clark could just

1129
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 2: as well. And so here Ricky Fowlers going in and

1130
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 2: could have a two shot lead as you sit on

1131
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 2: the eighteen t and entering the final round, but instead

1132
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,800
Speaker 2: you are tied for the lead and have Rory mcclroy lurking.

1133
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 2: The other funny thing about it was that McElroy and

1134
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 2: follow and you'd you'd mentioned this even before the show

1135
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 2: is there was a lot of people thinking like, all right,

1136
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 2: McElroy and fol our final group.

1137
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna get him together. It made for TV.

1138
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 3: Clark. It's like, hold on a second.

1139
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 2: There, I got different plans and his his ability to

1140
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:37,879
Speaker 2: hit a shot like that under that pressure shows yeah,

1141
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 2: he's got a little something. So so I don't expect

1142
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 2: Wyndham Clark to fade today. We'll say this when you

1143
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:45,319
Speaker 2: look at the leader board and I know we gotta

1144
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 2: run here in a second. Everybody's shot in the sixties

1145
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 2: or in the seventies or worse except three players Rory mclroy,

1146
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:58,320
Speaker 2: Scottie Scheffler and Wyndam Clark. Even Ricky Fowler seventy yesterday.

1147
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:02,360
Speaker 2: So the three players right now in all red numbers

1148
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 2: in all three rounds. It would be difficult to do

1149
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 2: it in all four rounds without that pedigree. But we'll

1150
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:09,840
Speaker 2: see if wind them. Clark's up to the task.

1151
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,839
Speaker 1: Such a huge day ahead. We're with you till ten

1152

Speaker 1: am Pacific time, one o'clock Eastern. They'll tee off at

1164
00:57:56,280 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: his long awaited announcement about John Morant on Friday, something

1165
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 1: Dan and I have touched on here on Fox Sports Sunday.

1166
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 1: Did he get it right? Did you get it wrong?

1167
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: Where's the gray area in all of this matter? We'll

1168
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: get into it next here on Fox Sports Radio. Hey,

1169
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 1: welcome back in It's Fox Sports radio's Fox Sports Sunday

1170
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 1: Mike Harmon alongside Dan Byer live from the US Open

1171
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: Championship one hundred and twenty third US Open here from

1172
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 1: the LA Country Club.

1173
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 2: I Dan, easy way to remember that is the year

1174
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 2: is also the like, so one hundred and twenty third

1175
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 2: it's twenty twenty three.

1176
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 3: That's how you could always remember.

1177
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 2: So in twenty twenty six, it'll be the one hundred

1178
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:44,160
Speaker 2: and twenty sixth US Open in twenty thirty one, or

1179
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 2: it'll be the one hundred and thirty first, So that's

1180
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 2: an easy way for you to remember.

1181
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: That works out really well for this year. I was

1182
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: just gonna sing Jackson five.

1183
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 2: Not okay, that's that ABC's Yeah, that's fine, easy as.

1184
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 1: One, two three, I you know, I put everything in song.

1185
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 2: First US Open happened in eighteen ninety five, you didn't

1186
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 2: have two and nineteen seventeen and nineteen eighteen, and then

1187
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 2: you missed four because of World War Two. But other

1188
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 2: than that brings us so what matches up. So when

1189
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 2: the one hundredth US Open was played, it was in

1190
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 2: the year two thousand when Tiger won it.

1191
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 1: So it's nice to have things to set your watch by.

1192
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 1: We were just talking about, you know, organizational stability, player stability.

1193
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: We'll get to John Moran here in a second, the

1194
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:27,960
Speaker 1: idea that you can count on something, so outside of

1195
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 1: World Wars, the US Open will go on.

1196
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 2: Yes, even during a pandemic, they were able to get it.

1197
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:38,400
Speaker 2: You know, get that played in twenty twenty. It was

1198
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 2: in September for remember it was on it was an

1199
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 2: NFL weekend. Last Yeah, the US Open and then the

1200
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 2: Masters was obviously in November that year.

1201
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 3: But yeah, it was very very.

1202
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,800
Speaker 1: Unique, made for a little bit of chaos, as it were,

1203
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: But you know what, you adapt and you move on.

1204
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 1: And here we're celebrating the final round kicking off a

1205
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 1: little bit later today, eight twenty three. The first a

1206
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 1: shot of the final round. Will we'll get us started?

1207
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 1: So Dan on Friday, you know, we were all waiting

1208
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 1: to see what the betting markets were emerging for when

1209
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 1: Adam Silver would let us know about Jamran because coming

1210
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 1: out of the NBA Finals, Jason Smith and I were

1211
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 1: on air and we're talking about the finals, talking about

1212
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 1: Silber in five games. So it's done, even though it's

1213
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 1: a close game. Get into particular some of the failures

1214
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 1: by Jimmy Butler down the stretch, and some bad decision

1215
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 1: making by the normally reliable heat offense and the way

1216
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 1: they structure things turnovers very low over the course of

1217
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 1: the year. But when we immediately shifted to when's Adam

1218
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 1: Silver gonna drop this? And I said, Friday news jump.

1219
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:48,680
Speaker 1: I didn't think it would be as early in the

1220
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 1: day as it was. But we get it on Friday,

1221
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: and we get the twenty five games announced, and people

1222
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 1: are all over the map. Right, You've got the Players

1223
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 1: Association and a number four of play players that are

1224
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 1: challenging that any punishment should have been levied. You've got

1225
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 1: folks like my guy Smith who thought it should have

1226
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: been a season or more. I thought maybe you'd go

1227
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 1: half a season. And then we get into all right,

1228
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:17,959
Speaker 1: we argue this down, maybe not to the twenty five

1229
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 1: where it ended up, but to where it is. And

1230
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 1: I know the optics are awful and that and that's

1231
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 1: the thing, right, the optics versus reality, and something you

1232
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 1: and I have talked about on this topic quite a

1233
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 1: bit as to you know, the league and after suspending

1234
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: him once because remember the second incident broke as you

1235
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 1: and I were on air, Yes, right, and you know,

1236
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 1: whether it's a lighter, whether it's a toy gun, whatever,

1237
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 1: the optics are terrible because it flew in the face

1238
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 1: of well, yeah, you suspended me, but you know what,

1239
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 1: beat it. I'm gonna do what I want, right. So

1240
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 1: for that purpose, Adam Silver comes back over the top substantive, substantively,

1241
01:01:57,600 --> 01:01:59,440
Speaker 1: and I know there's things of statutes, so we can

1242
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 1: get into the the definition of brandishing and what it

1243
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 1: means and who was you know, being threatened if anybody

1244
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 1: in those as the laws and the way the definitional

1245
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 1: thing plays out. But Adam Silver comes down with twenty

1246
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 1: five games. Part of it, I think is the longer

1247
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 1: he's away, perhaps you're fearing that whatever bad is encompassing

1248
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 1: his life takes over fully and you lose him not

1249
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:31,000
Speaker 1: just as a basketball player and an identity for your game,

1250
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 1: but as a person. But the other side is I

1251
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 1: understand those that wanted to throw the book at him

1252
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 1: for the idea of, you know, the gun culture, and

1253
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 1: that's where it was kind of going to a lot

1254
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 1: of it, given past PSAs and everything that the NBA

1255
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:51,720
Speaker 1: had done regarding gun violence.

1256
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 2: I actually think that Adam Silver got it right. I don't.

1257
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 2: The reason I say that is this is I think

1258
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:05,040
Speaker 2: he got twenty five games because John Morant was being

1259
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 2: a knucklehead.

1260
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 3: It's being dumb.

1261
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 2: It's what he was, and that is to hear him

1262
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 2: talk about the difference between a real gun and a

1263
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 2: toy gun, which is what Ja Morant's people were claiming

1264
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 2: that it was. And I'm silver saying to Dan Patrick

1265
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio, that's kind of it's.

1266
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 3: Not funny, haha that they're saying that.

1267
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 2: But that's the whole reason why he got in trouble

1268
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 2: in the first time was because he was treating a

1269
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 2: gun like it was aye and you knew it was

1270
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 2: going to be more than eighteen games, so he couldn't

1271
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 2: make any all NBA team. I actually do also think

1272
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 2: this may not be fair, but you do also have

1273
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 2: to think of the Memphis Grizzlies, and maybe there's something

1274
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,800
Speaker 2: that the Memphis Grizzlies need to do. Maybe they're the

1275
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 2: ones to keep him in check. I just think it's

1276
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 2: very difficult when you have a young superstar of that

1277
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 2: stature to do that. And I also think think of

1278
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:02,920
Speaker 2: if you suspend him for half the season, what does

1279
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 2: it do for the grizzly season. Maybe that's a lesson

1280
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 2: he would need to learn, you know, like, hey, you

1281
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 2: sabotaged our year. We didn't make the playoffs because of you,

1282
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:14,120
Speaker 2: or we're in the playing tournament because you missed half

1283
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 2: the season. But in the end, I just think that

1284
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 2: because he was a knucklehead, because he was being stupid,

1285
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 2: he was clowning around with some buddies, didn't take the message.

1286
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 3: I feel like twenty five.

1287
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 2: Games is apropos. Now he does it again, Mike, it's

1288
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 2: a third strike sort of deal. But I was very

1289
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 2: I didn't like the first punishment. I thought it was very,

1290
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 2: very lenient. This time around, I'm actually okay with it.

1291
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the first one it's kind of like

1292
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 1: the ray Rice situation to a degree, and where you've

1293
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 1: got a commissioner trying to figure out a policy and

1294
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:52,240
Speaker 1: what's right. Right when the ray Rice first punishment came

1295
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 1: down right two games wait to know about the video,

1296
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 1: All of those things felt light, but you're still trying

1297
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:02,160
Speaker 1: to figure out a new policy and how that's going

1298
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 1: to be adjudicated. Likewise, Adam Silver didn't really do a

1299
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:07,920
Speaker 1: whole lot. Yes, right, every once in a while there's

1300
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 1: a fight in game or whatever. There haven't been a

1301
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:12,840
Speaker 1: lot because go back to Donald Stule and that was

1302
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 1: just public pressure, player pressure and Lebron James saying this

1303
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:20,920
Speaker 1: is what we're doing, right, I mean, let's let's call

1304
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 1: it what it is. The power of the top of

1305
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 1: the players Association kind of dictated terms there, and Adam

1306
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 1: Silver hasn't had to do a ton in this regard since.

1307
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:36,440
Speaker 1: But going forward, you know, you're trying to you know,

1308
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 1: is this too big, too small or is it just

1309
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 1: right the old you know, porridge thing that we learned

1310
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 1: and commerce cartoons we watched as kids. But at twenty

1311
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:50,919
Speaker 1: five games to your point, know, all NBA people could

1312
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 1: say twenty five games only hits him in the wall,

1313
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,800
Speaker 1: it's so hard. Well, that makes them ineligible for the awards,

1314
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 1: which also takes potentially a brinch truck worth of cash,

1315
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 1: yeah away from him, So there is a substantive loss there.

1316
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 1: Some argue that it helps the Grizzlies, like, well, we're

1317
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 1: going to talk about continuity and playing together and knowing

1318
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:11,800
Speaker 1: each other because this roster's not going to look the same.

1319
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 2: Rights has gone right, but you're you're going to see

1320
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:20,280
Speaker 2: a bunch of changes so that's twenty five games they're

1321
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 2: not on the court together.

1322
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 1: Yes, is he technically fresher as you get deeper in

1323
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 1: the season, sure, fine, whatever do you want to just

1324
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 1: start serving at Christmas Day for twenty five games?

1325
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 3: Like?

1326
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 1: What are we doing? But you know, the the idea

1327
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:37,360
Speaker 1: that you know it needed to be something more and

1328
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 1: that he didn't get punished enough that that there's a

1329
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:42,520
Speaker 1: there's a lot to it.

1330
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 2: I my problem with the first suspension, well, there are

1331
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:49,040
Speaker 2: a lot of problems. I'm not going to rehash it,

1332
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 2: but it was just in summary, I felt that the

1333
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:55,120
Speaker 2: NBA and ESPN wanted to get John Morant on the

1334
01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 2: court as fast as possible, and John Morant wanted that

1335
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 2: as well. So we felt at thirty six hours of

1336
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 2: therapy was good for him and he was good to go.

1337
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,160
Speaker 2: So that would you really just saying I really annoyed

1338
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 2: interview and get back on really really really bothered me.

1339
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 2: There is a small part of this that did that

1340
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:18,200
Speaker 2: that did rub me a little bit wrong in that

1341
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 2: Adam Silver announced in the finals press conference that there

1342
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:23,520
Speaker 2: was a suspension.

1343
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 3: There was something that was done.

1344
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 2: They didn't want to take it away take away from

1345
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 2: the finals. Uh, but now you've also done it, so

1346
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 2: it doesn't take away from the NBA Draft that comes

1347
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 2: up on Thursday, doesn't spoil the Victor Wembin Yama party

1348
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 2: that we're gonna have in four or five days here

1349
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 2: doesn't and it's not gonna overshadow free agent. And see,

1350
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 2: like there was like they you picked the Friday, you

1351
01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 2: picked the Friday news dump, and that was the Friday

1352
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 2: that I was.

1353
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:52,840
Speaker 3: Going to happen.

1354
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 2: What would have happened if the series would have gone

1355
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 2: seven games? You know, is the NBA gonna then drop

1356
01:07:58,360 --> 01:07:59,640
Speaker 2: it on the Monday? Are they gonna wait till the

1357
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 2: Nuggets paradoes over on Tuesday and do it the day

1358
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 2: before the draft?

1359
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 3: Or would you wait even longer to do it?

1360
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 2: To me, like that was the only issue, Like if

1361
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:09,800
Speaker 2: you had the suspension, you knew what it was gonna

1362
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:12,880
Speaker 2: be and you were ready to move forward. I'm sorry

1363
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 2: if it overshadows Game two of the NBA Finals. But

1364
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:18,559
Speaker 2: that whole portion of it to me seemed a little

1365
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:19,760
Speaker 2: contrived that it was.

1366
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 1: Like a tease. Yeah, it's like they do for radio.

1367
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 1: Hey coming up next, Hey, the families getting together next,

1368
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:28,240
Speaker 1: by the way, it is, but it's it's it felt

1369
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:32,640
Speaker 1: like a big tease, hey, or a commercial for a movie.

1370
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 4: Hey.

1371
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:35,519
Speaker 1: You know, wait on Friday. You know, if you stick

1372
01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 1: around at halftime, you're gonna get it like you do

1373
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:40,639
Speaker 1: it all the time during Monday night football. Stick around

1374
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:43,320
Speaker 1: for a halftime, we get a special sneak preview of

1375
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:46,799
Speaker 1: the falls blockbuster. And that's what it felt like. Hey,

1376
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 1: just wait for it. It's we figured it out, but

1377
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:51,000
Speaker 1: you gotta wait.

1378
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 2: And and you're right about the Friday news dump. As

1379
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 2: you said, it happened a little bit earlier in the

1380
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 2: day then we all thought. But yeah, that was that

1381
01:08:58,040 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 2: was the only part of it. But honestly, all in all,

1382
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:03,800
Speaker 2: I'm good with it. If he doesn't, if he does

1383
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:07,040

01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:21,240

01:17:15,360 --> 01:17:16,640
Speaker 3: nine different winners.

1546
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:20,200
Speaker 1: That's all early. I went to the early figuring there's

1547
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:22,000
Speaker 1: an obvious one that's gonna dominate.

1548
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:25,720
Speaker 2: Later Alex Smith he won six and uh in ten,

1549
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:30,320

Speaker 1: Yes, one hundred years.

1553
01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:40,839
Speaker 4: I thought of one, and it's going to be Ireland.

1554
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:45,080
Speaker 2: Oh, it's gonna be Ireland. Is that your final answer?

1555
01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 2: Ireland is?

01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:47,759
Speaker 4: And he's gonna go for a second today.

1557
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:52,639
Speaker 2: Okay, is it Ireland? There was a reason I asked

1558
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:53,679
Speaker 2: for a final answer.

1559
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:55,719
Speaker 4: There was a reason from Ireland.

1560
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:58,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, where's from?

1561
01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:01,439

01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:16,519

Speaker 4: Let's try Canada.

1592
01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:30,320
Speaker 2: Let's try Canada. Is it the great maple leaf flag flying?

1593
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 2: Is it Canada?

1594
01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:37,920
Speaker 3: No? My goodness, Ethan was so close. Northern Ireland is

1595
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:39,760
Speaker 3: what we were looking with.

1596
01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:43,000
Speaker 2: Yes, that's why I asked for the final answer, and

1597
01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:46,240
Speaker 2: the other one we did not get. Germany Martin Kimer one.

1598

Speaker 1: our geography too, and you're giving us a side of

1601
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:03,480
Speaker 1: dan Byer that maybe we we didn't know. Doret impressions

1602
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:06,800
Speaker 1: of famous golfers coming out next as well, as the

1603
01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:10,200
Speaker 1: NBA draft. Let's talk about it next. Dot box gindness

1604
01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:13,840
Speaker 1: in our voices. The activity is picking up here at

1605
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:16,679
Speaker 1: La Country Club, site of the one hundred and twenty

1606

Speaker 1: tirerac dot com. The way tire buying should be, Dan Byer.

1612
01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:42,880
Speaker 1: A lot more activity here in the media center. Stepped outside,

1613
01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:46,200
Speaker 1: Take a breath of fresh air, take a look outside.

1614
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:49,720
Speaker 1: More activity, more people starting to mill about as we

1615
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:53,160
Speaker 1: get ready for first tee of the final round. And

1616
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:55,560
Speaker 1: I can see you. You're starting to get that little twitchiness,

1617
01:20:56,200 --> 01:20:58,879
Speaker 1: the fast twitch muscles in your legs starting to activate.

1618
01:20:59,120 --> 01:20:59,759
Speaker 3: It's exciting.

1619
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:02,800
Speaker 2: Reo Is Chicaga goes off in about twenty two minutes

1620
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:05,599
Speaker 2: from now to start the final rounds. He'll be I

1621
01:21:05,600 --> 01:21:08,040
Speaker 2: think he'll be playing with a marker when they cut.

1622
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:11,880
Speaker 2: When the cut has made mic and this is not uncommon,

1623
01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:14,960
Speaker 2: but when you have an odd number of players who

1624
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:18,760
Speaker 2: make the cut and you go off in two sums.

1625
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 2: There's obviously going to be one person left out without

1626
01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 2: a partner. We've seen it years at the Masters. They'll

1627
01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:26,960
Speaker 2: do it again there. There was a marker that played

1628
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:31,160
Speaker 2: I think with Ryan Fox who was the odd man

1629
01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 2: out yesterday and didn't have a partner to play with.

1630
01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:36,599
Speaker 3: So I think Rio is Chicago le have a partner

1631
01:21:36,640 --> 01:21:37,439
Speaker 3: as well. I would.

1632
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:39,559
Speaker 2: I would volunteer, but I would probably shoot about one

1633
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty on this course.

1634
01:21:41,680 --> 01:21:42,920
Speaker 3: But there will be so much chance.

1635
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 1: Make them feel really good about himself.

1636
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:48,040
Speaker 2: Yes, you probably wouldn't want to see my shots though,

1637
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:50,320
Speaker 2: because that would be a bad mental image.

1638
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:51,920
Speaker 3: But yeah, we're gonna get this thing going in like

1639
01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:52,439
Speaker 3: twenty minutes.

1640
01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:55,960
Speaker 1: Positivity, more action here in the media center, a couple

1641
01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:59,600
Speaker 1: of television cruise showing up and and everything as we

1642
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:01,800
Speaker 1: get for the final round. So I gotta ask you,

1643
01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:03,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna spend a little time wandering around the course.

1644
01:22:04,479 --> 01:22:08,400
Speaker 1: You did a lot of your Father's Day togetherness yesterday,

1645
01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:10,120
Speaker 1: not that you won't do some later, but so you

1646
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 1: can stick around the course a little bit later into today.

1647
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:17,160
Speaker 1: Happy Father's Day. To everybody out there, however you're celebrating,

1648
01:22:17,240 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 1: be safe, look after each other. It takes a village

1649
01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. You know, the sentiment's there, Happy

1650
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:25,840
Speaker 1: Father's Day and my dad down there in Florida, and

1651
01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:28,800
Speaker 1: happy birthday to my mom. It just happens to sync

1652
01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:33,400
Speaker 1: up perfectly. Look, Mom, I'm at a golf event. The

1653
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:36,080
Speaker 1: things you'd never thought you'd hear coming from the South

1654
01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:39,639
Speaker 1: side of Chicago, certainly growing up in my household, even

1655
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:42,240
Speaker 1: though I find out later as I get older that's

1656
01:22:42,479 --> 01:22:44,439
Speaker 1: one of the things my dad my uncle would do

1657
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:47,280
Speaker 1: hustling as teenagers was caddying.

1658
01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:48,679
Speaker 3: Oh, I did not know that.

1659
01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:51,519
Speaker 1: I found that out, you know, later later on in

1660
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:54,080
Speaker 1: my existence. So there you go, find out little little

1661
01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 1: details along the way. But for you, as we get

1662
01:22:56,320 --> 01:22:58,759
Speaker 1: ready to wander around and you get to be my guide,

1663
01:22:59,840 --> 01:23:04,040
Speaker 1: are we going for the more interesting and intricate holes

1664
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:07,240
Speaker 1: and the placement and the potential chaos? There? Are we

1665
01:23:07,280 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 1: going player.

1666
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:10,720
Speaker 2: When we go out and watch, we are going to

1667
01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:13,639
Speaker 2: end up sitting at some holes just for the simple

1668
01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:16,679
Speaker 2: fact of there's not going to be a lot at stake.

1669
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:20,599
Speaker 3: So and honestly, I'm like, I get it.

1670
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:25,559
Speaker 2: If it's Tiger, I get it if it's Rory, but

1671
01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:29,040
Speaker 2: Rory's not teeing off until later. Everybody else kind of

1672
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:31,320
Speaker 2: blends in, and so I want to see how things

1673
01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:34,960
Speaker 2: are played all these top players, Yes, to see them

1674
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:38,120
Speaker 2: attack certain holes, see how we could see it played

1675
01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:40,160
Speaker 2: later in the day. I even see some of the

1676
01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:42,479
Speaker 2: action that I haven't seen too much on the course

1677
01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:44,800
Speaker 2: in these last couple of days that I've been here.

1678
01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:46,640
Speaker 3: I want to check that out. So we're going to go.

1679
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:49,400
Speaker 2: We're going to check out the first team because it

1680
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 2: is right up against the clubhouse.

1681
01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:55,280
Speaker 3: It is a great site. Maxhoma talked about it.

1682
01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:57,080
Speaker 2: Max didn't make the cut, but he talked about it

1683
01:23:57,080 --> 01:23:59,680
Speaker 2: earlier this week and saying it was weird because there

1684
01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:03,920
Speaker 2: is any huge bleacher right by the first g because

1685
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:05,599
Speaker 2: of how things are set off, so it didn't have

1686
01:24:05,680 --> 01:24:09,320
Speaker 2: necessarily that noise. But still with that backdrop and where

1687
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 2: the first he is located in the angle that we

1688
01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:14,400
Speaker 2: have and most players have, you don't have the big

1689
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:17,479
Speaker 2: skyscraper or apartment building in the background, so it's just

1690
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:18,479
Speaker 2: the clubhouse sitting there.

1691
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:20,040
Speaker 3: It's pretty pretty neat sight.

1692
01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:25,879
Speaker 1: Tied for the lead, Windham Clark and Ricky Fowler. Isaac

1693
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:29,840
Speaker 1: made a reference to hotels and such. I was thinking

1694
01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:32,840
Speaker 1: about the Wyndham family and the Wyats and everything of

1695
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:37,599
Speaker 1: WWE WWF and other fame because I got problems. Ricky

1696
01:24:37,640 --> 01:24:40,160
Speaker 1: Fowler had the opportunity to have the lead by himself

1697
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:44,960
Speaker 1: an unfortunate putt that went awry, and you saw Clark

1698
01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:47,719
Speaker 1: make his shot. Otherwise we might have had that Fowler

1699
01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:53,320
Speaker 1: McElroy combination along the way, Scheffler in fourth, Harris English

1700
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 1: at six hunder he is in fifth, and then you

1701
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:00,439
Speaker 1: get Dustin Johnson and Schoffle and start going and down

1702
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:02,559
Speaker 1: the field a little bit. Well, it'll be interesting to

1703
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:05,160
Speaker 1: watch that front nine to see if anybody can catch

1704
01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:08,040
Speaker 1: fire like Tom Kim did yesterday, put a little bit

1705
01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:10,559
Speaker 1: of pressure, yes, on the folks up front before they

1706
01:25:10,560 --> 01:25:11,000
Speaker 1: t off.

1707
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:13,280
Speaker 3: Yes, posting a number is a real thing.

1708
01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:16,599
Speaker 2: And this stretch, I don't think I could be wrong,

1709
01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:18,479
Speaker 2: but I just don't think anybody's going to go two

1710
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:21,400
Speaker 2: three like Scotty Schefler did in the final two holes yesterday,

1711
01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:25,559
Speaker 2: Especially down the stretch here, Sixteen, seventeen and eighteen are

1712
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:29,840
Speaker 2: difficult holes. Sixteen is very long, seventeen a very difficult hole,

1713
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:32,200
Speaker 2: even though Scotti Scheffler made it look easy. If you

1714
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 2: can post a number and you have to par in

1715
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:37,919
Speaker 2: from that number, it could make it very very difficult.

1716
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:41,560
Speaker 2: There's your last real birdy attempt is likely going to

1717
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:44,559
Speaker 2: come on the fourteenth hole, which is the par five.

1718
01:25:45,200 --> 01:25:48,720
Speaker 2: So if that number is posted, somebody may have to

1719
01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:51,040
Speaker 2: hold on for a wild ride. And it looks like

1720
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 2: we just stepped outside a little bit ago. Marine layer

1721
01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:57,400
Speaker 2: still fully here, not expected to burn off until about

1722
01:25:57,400 --> 01:25:59,760
Speaker 2: eleven or noon. The leaders don't go off until two

1723
01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:04,160
Speaker 2: local time, so yeah, there's there could be something there

1724
01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:04,920
Speaker 2: for some of the players.

1725
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:08,320
Speaker 1: Ye, how softly the course plays earlier, we watched that

1726
01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:11,559
Speaker 1: happen a little bit yesterday. How differently playing some of

1727
01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 1: the holes as the day wore on. Uh, And look,

1728
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:17,960
Speaker 1: there's there's always a room for chaos the way this

1729
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:20,559
Speaker 1: is set up. We talked about pin placement a little

1730
01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:26,479
Speaker 1: bit earlier, but just the vastly different lengths that we're playing,

1731
01:26:27,040 --> 01:26:29,720
Speaker 1: and let's face it, final round, you got to try

1732
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:31,640
Speaker 1: to make a move. Maybe you start to gamble a

1733
01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:34,840
Speaker 1: little bit, maybe you know as forgiving as some of

1734
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:38,960
Speaker 1: the the fairways are right pretty wide, that may maybe

1735
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:42,840
Speaker 1: you're you're you're really trying to hammer down on one

1736
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:46,160
Speaker 1: side and and maybe overstrike. Because we've certainly seen some

1737
01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:50,000
Speaker 1: errant shots along the way, we've seen some brilliant play

1738
01:26:50,040 --> 01:26:52,439
Speaker 1: along the way a number of aces, as well as

1739
01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:55,479
Speaker 1: some of the longest puts you'll see outside of your

1740
01:26:55,560 --> 01:26:57,160
Speaker 1: local carnival.

1741
01:26:57,280 --> 01:26:57,519
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1742
01:26:57,560 --> 01:26:58,920
Speaker 2: One of the things that I think that that you

1743
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:01,599
Speaker 2: could see is we saw it happened to Harris Harris

1744
01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:04,080
Speaker 2: English yesterday. We saw it happen to Rory a couple

1745
01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:08,320
Speaker 2: of days ago Greenside on eighteen. That rough is very,

1746
01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:12,719
Speaker 2: very thick. They tried to hit wide open lob lob

1747
01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:14,639
Speaker 2: wedges and their club just went right under the ball

1748
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:17,840
Speaker 2: and went nowhere. If you're sitting there trying to avoid

1749
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 2: that big number, maybe you turn your club face up

1750
01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:23,000
Speaker 2: a little bit more so it's not as wide open,

1751
01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:24,960
Speaker 2: but you're not going to put it within twenty feet

1752
01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:27,040
Speaker 2: and you kind of take your medicine that way.

1753
01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:29,280
Speaker 3: That could be another situation.

1754
01:27:28,840 --> 01:27:30,120
Speaker 2: That we see, and it may not even just be

1755
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:32,160
Speaker 2: green Side, it's just maybe you hit an errant t

1756
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:34,559
Speaker 2: shot instead of making their heroic shots try to stay

1757
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:36,200
Speaker 2: par You got to figure.

1758
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:38,080
Speaker 3: Out that a bogie isn't a bad play.

1759
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:40,360
Speaker 2: That is also a common theme at the US Open,

1760
01:27:40,400 --> 01:27:41,800
Speaker 2: so we could see that down the stretch today.

1761
01:27:42,080 --> 01:27:44,920
Speaker 1: Very excited to be here part of the history and

1762
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:47,920
Speaker 1: the return of the US Open to the Los Angeles area.

1763
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:51,599
Speaker 1: We are grateful for the hospitality that we've had here

1764
01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:54,759
Speaker 1: at the media center and around the course all week long,

1765
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:57,479
Speaker 1: and so happy to be here with you here on

1773
01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:28,240
Speaker 1: the NBA draft is upon us. The Victor Wenman Yama sweepstakes.

1774
01:28:28,320 --> 01:28:30,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he's now gonna deign to play a little

1775
01:28:30,800 --> 01:28:33,559
Speaker 1: bit in Summer League. We did get that known yesterday.

1776
01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:36,799
Speaker 1: There's a there's a big deal for you. Everybody's already

1777
01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:39,040
Speaker 1: crowned him. You and I have had these discussions. I

1778
01:28:39,160 --> 01:28:43,080
Speaker 1: just chuckle right. It's like talking to Smith the other

1779
01:28:43,160 --> 01:28:47,519
Speaker 1: day about the large s of the Nikola Jokic final series.

1780
01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:52,240
Speaker 1: I'll still take two thousand shack, sure, and many other

1781
01:28:52,439 --> 01:28:54,920
Speaker 1: points in the past, but we're in the moment. You

1782
01:28:55,040 --> 01:28:57,320
Speaker 1: celebrate how great it is. But we have the draft,

1783
01:28:57,439 --> 01:29:00,800
Speaker 1: the draft lottery and whatever that is. Each and every

1784
01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:04,360
Speaker 1: year we watched as the Dallas Mavericks said, playoffs, no,

1785
01:29:04,479 --> 01:29:07,320
Speaker 1: thank you, We'd rather play.

1786
01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:07,960
Speaker 3: For ping pong balls.

1787
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:12,960
Speaker 1: Yes, And the way the playoffs worked out, perhaps Mark Cuban,

1788
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:15,759
Speaker 1: in a quiet moment in his mansion, threw something against

1789
01:29:15,800 --> 01:29:19,120
Speaker 1: the wall, kind of cursing his fate that maybe, just

1790
01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:22,400
Speaker 1: maybe they should have tried to actually play in this tournament.

1791
01:29:22,720 --> 01:29:25,559
Speaker 1: But the system is what it is, and it's not

1792
01:29:25,600 --> 01:29:28,920
Speaker 1: going away anytime soon. But between that and the draft,

1793
01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:31,400
Speaker 1: I mean, we already know where he's going. There's not

1794
01:29:31,479 --> 01:29:33,360
Speaker 1: a whole lot of drama thereafter.

1795
01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:35,360
Speaker 2: No no, but there is drama on what's gonna happen

1796
01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:37,640
Speaker 2: at two and what's gonna happen at three, and specifically

1797
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:40,559
Speaker 2: what's going to happen at three, because Portland's sitting there

1798
01:29:40,600 --> 01:29:43,000
Speaker 2: and we feel that depending on what Portland does could

1799
01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:45,920
Speaker 2: also determine the future of Damian Lillard. Sure, and Mike,

1800
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:49,880
Speaker 2: that's this is it's my fifth annual rant of the

1801
01:29:49,960 --> 01:29:53,240
Speaker 2: Draft the Lottery, and it's because the draft is this week,

1802
01:29:53,439 --> 01:29:57,240
Speaker 2: but it's highlighted by Portland doing what they're doing.

1803
01:29:57,960 --> 01:30:01,479
Speaker 3: Portland. You know, when the envelopes were being.

1804
01:30:01,320 --> 01:30:03,360
Speaker 2: Released and you saw they were one of the top four,

1805
01:30:03,439 --> 01:30:05,640
Speaker 2: You're like, oh wow, this could be you know, this

1806
01:30:05,680 --> 01:30:08,679
Speaker 2: could really be something. They could land Victor Webban Yama.

1807
01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:11,320
Speaker 2: Let's just say that they did win the lottery. You know,

1808
01:30:11,360 --> 01:30:15,720
Speaker 2: that would that would change Damian Lillard's future in Portland,

1809
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:19,559
Speaker 2: where if you're bringing in Brandon Miller or you're bringing

1810
01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:22,960
Speaker 2: in Scoot Henderson, you're likely saying we're going to rebuild.

1811
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:25,120
Speaker 3: But if you had Victor Wemban Yama, hey maybe we

1812
01:30:25,120 --> 01:30:27,840
Speaker 3: could turn this thing over right now. Yes, yes, I'm

1813
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:28,599
Speaker 3: going to stick around.

1814
01:30:29,400 --> 01:30:31,600
Speaker 2: My whole problem with the lottery and why it is

1815
01:30:31,680 --> 01:30:34,400
Speaker 2: important now this week is because I just feel like

1816
01:30:34,479 --> 01:30:37,960
Speaker 2: that the lottery shouldn't reward teams for losing, which we

1817
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:41,519
Speaker 2: see in tanking a lot But even the teams that

1818
01:30:41,600 --> 01:30:43,719
Speaker 2: were bad, you didn't have to be the worst.

1819
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:44,639
Speaker 3: You just had to be bad.

1820
01:30:44,680 --> 01:30:46,679
Speaker 2: You had to have the best opportunities and it paid

1821
01:30:46,720 --> 01:30:50,400
Speaker 2: off for San Antonio to get that whatever fourteen percent

1822
01:30:50,520 --> 01:30:53,680
Speaker 2: that you know two other teams also had. If you

1823
01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:57,559
Speaker 2: gave if you gave every team in the lottery the

1824
01:30:57,680 --> 01:31:01,600
Speaker 2: same chance of getting the top player, I think it

1825
01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:03,639
Speaker 2: would add more drama, but it would also I think

1826
01:31:03,720 --> 01:31:05,080
Speaker 2: be better for your league.

1827
01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:08,000
Speaker 1: I think the long term effect is there, yes, And so.

1828
01:31:08,040 --> 01:31:12,000
Speaker 2: Like if if if wem beIN Yama does land in Portland,

1829
01:31:12,200 --> 01:31:16,479
Speaker 2: it makes Portland that contender. Right now, the Spurs over

1830
01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:21,519
Speaker 2: under for next season is thirty two wins. That is

1831
01:31:21,560 --> 01:31:24,400
Speaker 2: not a playoff caliber team. That's the over under for

1832
01:31:24,479 --> 01:31:26,479
Speaker 2: what they think Victor Webbnyama is going to do. And

1833
01:31:26,520 --> 01:31:28,200
Speaker 2: it's going to take a build, and you're gonna have

1834
01:31:28,200 --> 01:31:30,840
Speaker 2: to build your team, but you have that piece. I

1835
01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:33,000
Speaker 2: just could be better in the league to put Victor

1836
01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:36,479
Speaker 2: Webbyama on a better team. And so if you if

1837
01:31:36,520 --> 01:31:38,519
Speaker 2: you are a Dallas and maybe you would have teams

1838
01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:39,800
Speaker 2: being like, all right, I want to I don't want

1839
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:41,840
Speaker 2: to be in the plane. I'd rather have my chance

1840
01:31:41,880 --> 01:31:44,280
Speaker 2: at this generational player. The problem is you're not going

1841
01:31:44,360 --> 01:31:46,840
Speaker 2: to get a generational player every single draft, like wem

1842
01:31:46,880 --> 01:31:51,160
Speaker 2: Ben Yama is really the most generational since Lebron and

1843
01:31:51,240 --> 01:31:53,040
Speaker 2: maybe the most generational of all time.

1844
01:31:53,439 --> 01:31:54,240
Speaker 3: But I just I.

1845
01:31:54,160 --> 01:31:59,639
Speaker 2: Wish, I wish that, you know, a team like Dallas,

1846
01:31:59,680 --> 01:32:03,040
Speaker 2: like Portland would have an opportunity to land these players

1847
01:32:03,120 --> 01:32:04,240
Speaker 2: because it would be better.

1848
01:32:04,520 --> 01:32:05,960
Speaker 3: It would take care of tanking. You wouldn't.

1849
01:32:06,040 --> 01:32:08,720
Speaker 2: You wouldn't see teams wasting away, and you wouldn't also

1850
01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:11,680
Speaker 2: might have conversations of, Okay, what is Portland gonna do

1851
01:32:11,720 --> 01:32:13,360
Speaker 2: with number three? Are they gonna trade it? Are they

1852
01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:15,439
Speaker 2: gonna try to get a veteran to help Lillard? Are

1853
01:32:15,439 --> 01:32:18,400
Speaker 2: they gonna draft? You wouldn't have to have, you know,

1854
01:32:18,560 --> 01:32:19,800
Speaker 2: that sort of conversation.

1855
01:32:20,120 --> 01:32:22,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's the curiosity to it, and I

1856
01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:27,559
Speaker 1: like your your suggestion there of equal opportunity that way,

1857
01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:30,639
Speaker 1: if you're bad, you don't get rewarded with extra ping

1858
01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:33,519
Speaker 1: pong balls, you don't get a weight because you're you're

1859
01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:37,519
Speaker 1: worse to where we watched. Look and Dallas did it

1860
01:32:37,560 --> 01:32:40,080
Speaker 1: at the end of the year. So yes, okay, playoffs

1861
01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:42,400
Speaker 1: are on the line. It's Mark Cuban, you've been in

1862
01:32:42,439 --> 01:32:44,639
Speaker 1: trouble one hundred times, we slap you on the wrist,

1863
01:32:45,200 --> 01:32:48,120
Speaker 1: which is really all they did. It's nothing substantive. But

1864
01:32:49,040 --> 01:32:53,040
Speaker 1: Houston and San Antonio just weaved at us for an

1865
01:32:53,200 --> 01:32:55,720
Speaker 1: entire season and nothing comes of it other than you've

1866
01:32:55,760 --> 01:32:58,880
Speaker 1: got a really good shot to land this guy. Yes,

1867
01:32:58,960 --> 01:33:02,880
Speaker 1: and then you know, look, you know, conspiracy theories are

1868
01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:06,360
Speaker 1: are everywhere, but sometimes rooted in truth. Found it interesting, right,

1869
01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:09,040
Speaker 1: we see the old pictures of Nicola Jokic. What kind

1870
01:33:09,040 --> 01:33:12,840
Speaker 1: of jersey is he wearing? Oh gosh, Denver Nugget.

1871
01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:15,280
Speaker 3: I saw much shirt? Yeah, Nugget shirt. Yeah, yeah, old

1872
01:33:15,320 --> 01:33:17,519
Speaker 3: old Denver Nugget. I thought it was photo shopped at first.

1873
01:33:17,960 --> 01:33:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, but the veracity there. Lebron James, he

1874
01:33:21,800 --> 01:33:26,639
Speaker 1: gets to go home. Now, this guy from France, Tony Parker,

1875
01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:31,720
Speaker 1: Greg Popovich and his history of bringing folks from overseas

1876
01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:35,280
Speaker 1: and integrating them into the NBA so well. Tim Duncan

1877
01:33:35,360 --> 01:33:37,880
Speaker 1: there as a mentor like all of those, and the

1878
01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:43,120
Speaker 1: Spurs end up with Webb and Yama. Like I get it.

1879
01:33:43,160 --> 01:33:47,640
Speaker 1: Fourteen percent is a weighty amount, but it all just

1880
01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:50,120
Speaker 1: kind of goes into this big large If you were

1881
01:33:50,200 --> 01:33:52,559
Speaker 1: going to tell me today, I come in with no

1882
01:33:52,720 --> 01:33:55,800
Speaker 1: knowledge and not having watched this league at all, and

1883
01:33:55,840 --> 01:33:59,599
Speaker 1: you add the frozen envelope to that, I'm probably looking

1884
01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:01,720
Speaker 1: at things little sideways as related to.

1885
01:34:01,680 --> 01:34:05,760
Speaker 2: The I joked, I said that the NBA should have

1886
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:08,520
Speaker 2: rigged the draft, and then yeah, to that point, I

1887
01:34:08,560 --> 01:34:10,479
Speaker 2: thought about it, and others made the point as well

1888
01:34:10,520 --> 01:34:13,000
Speaker 2: of like maybe it was rigged so wemben Yama doesn't

1889
01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:15,600
Speaker 2: go to one of those loser franchises.

1890
01:34:15,880 --> 01:34:17,040
Speaker 3: It's it's it's true.

1891
01:34:17,080 --> 01:34:19,639
Speaker 2: Maybe you know in the Pistons, you know, for example,

1892
01:34:19,720 --> 01:34:23,840
Speaker 2: had had a great chance or had the odds of

1893
01:34:24,160 --> 01:34:26,880
Speaker 2: landing number one. They also had number one with Kid

1894
01:34:26,920 --> 01:34:28,960
Speaker 2: cunning am we spent hurt? They had number five with

1895
01:34:29,040 --> 01:34:31,200
Speaker 2: Jaden Ivy. You know they they've got they.

1896
01:34:31,240 --> 01:34:33,040
Speaker 1: Got a nice nucleus sitting there. If they can get

1897
01:34:33,120 --> 01:34:33,400
Speaker 1: on the.

1898
01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:35,840
Speaker 3: Court together, yes, yes, but they still stink.

1899
01:34:35,880 --> 01:34:38,320
Speaker 2: And it's like, do they deserve not the opportunity to

1900
01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:39,960
Speaker 2: get Victor wemban Yama?

1901
01:34:40,120 --> 01:34:41,719
Speaker 3: No, do they even get do they.

1902
01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:44,120
Speaker 2: Even deserve the opportunity to get like Scoot Henderson or

1903
01:34:44,400 --> 01:34:46,720
Speaker 2: Brandon Miller part of that draft, Like if you had

1904
01:34:46,720 --> 01:34:48,920
Speaker 2: Scoot Henderson, and I know the Blazers can use it

1905
01:34:48,960 --> 01:34:52,160
Speaker 2: as a trade chip for how they're going to but

1906
01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:57,840
Speaker 2: you know, you got Toronto sitting there at thirteen. You

1907
01:34:57,880 --> 01:35:00,840
Speaker 2: know what would that do for that organize that tried

1908
01:35:00,840 --> 01:35:03,880
Speaker 2: to compete, tried to keep their core together after Kawhi left,

1909
01:35:04,080 --> 01:35:06,320
Speaker 2: and now it's kind of falling apart with Fred van Vliet,

1910
01:35:06,680 --> 01:35:09,360
Speaker 2: you know, opting out of his his deal. But I

1911
01:35:09,360 --> 01:35:12,120
Speaker 2: think that that would be better for the league then

1912
01:35:12,160 --> 01:35:16,240
Speaker 2: to maybe put him on a you know, Charlotte Hornets team.

1913
01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:19,240
Speaker 2: You know, like, let Charlotte figure out their own way.

1914
01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:21,560
Speaker 2: If they get lucky enough, that's fine. But I just

1915
01:35:21,640 --> 01:35:23,840
Speaker 2: think that some of these top players maybe maybe should

1916
01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:25,240
Speaker 2: go to better teams. I think it would be better

1917
01:35:25,280 --> 01:35:29,320
Speaker 2: for the NBA than to let them swim around in

1918
01:35:29,360 --> 01:35:31,840
Speaker 2: Detroit for a while and figure out, you know, how

1919
01:35:32,120 --> 01:35:34,479
Speaker 2: how how they're gonna you know, keep their head above

1920
01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:36,840
Speaker 2: water and actually survive in the NBA. I just think

1921
01:35:36,840 --> 01:35:38,639
Speaker 2: that some of these teams that just missed the playoffs

1922
01:35:38,640 --> 01:35:42,200
Speaker 2: are better suited to add a better player, and then

1923
01:35:42,240 --> 01:35:44,240
Speaker 2: that would help the league more because now you'd have

1924
01:35:44,240 --> 01:35:46,000
Speaker 2: a more competitive team in the Well.

1925
01:35:45,880 --> 01:35:49,400
Speaker 1: We talk about it sometimes the benefit to mix leagues

1926
01:35:49,400 --> 01:35:51,839
Speaker 1: for a minute. In the NFL, you don't get drafted

1927
01:35:51,960 --> 01:35:54,679
Speaker 1: up top by the terrible teams that have it. Yes,

1928
01:35:54,720 --> 01:35:59,360
Speaker 1: she have nothing in place right. The most obvious example

1929
01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:01,600
Speaker 1: always goes back to Ben Roethlisberger. Yeah, he goes to

1930
01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:04,840
Speaker 1: stability in Pittsburgh, wins a couple of Super Bowls, has

1931
01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:07,599
Speaker 1: this long career, and go on down the line versus

1932
01:36:08,000 --> 01:36:11,000
Speaker 1: other teams that are spinning their wheels. Again. You know,

1933
01:36:11,120 --> 01:36:15,760
Speaker 1: we talk about stability and organizational stability from the top

1934
01:36:15,800 --> 01:36:17,840
Speaker 1: on down with some great regularity, Like.

1935
01:36:17,840 --> 01:36:20,400
Speaker 2: How good would the West be if all of a

1936
01:36:20,439 --> 01:36:24,200
Speaker 2: sudden it was you know, the Blazers and the Pelicans

1937
01:36:24,280 --> 01:36:27,759
Speaker 2: and the Mavericks ended up getting some sort of Brandon Miller,

1938
01:36:28,280 --> 01:36:31,720
Speaker 2: Scoot Henderson and Victor Webber Yama like that all of

1939
01:36:31,720 --> 01:36:33,679
Speaker 2: a sudden, I you have these teams that are playoff contenders,

1940
01:36:33,680 --> 01:36:35,880
Speaker 2: and san Antonio does want to hear that. These bad

1941
01:36:35,880 --> 01:36:37,800
Speaker 2: teams don't want to hear that. But I just think

1942
01:36:37,800 --> 01:36:40,840
Speaker 2: in the long in the long term of it, when

1943
01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:43,320
Speaker 2: you don't have a generational player, it actually may help

1944
01:36:43,400 --> 01:36:45,760
Speaker 2: those teams get better and into the playoffs, which is

1945
01:36:45,760 --> 01:36:46,479
Speaker 2: better for the league.

1946
01:36:46,520 --> 01:36:48,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm just never a fan of all Right, We're

1947
01:36:48,920 --> 01:36:52,840
Speaker 1: going into a season and we're quote competing you know

1948
01:36:52,920 --> 01:36:55,400
Speaker 1: that the Rows, And it's no disrespect to the guys

1949
01:36:55,400 --> 01:36:58,000
Speaker 1: that are playing. It's like watching Major League Baseball teams. Now,

1950
01:36:58,120 --> 01:37:01,679
Speaker 1: it's like that guy's the best player on insert bad

1951
01:37:01,760 --> 01:37:04,240
Speaker 1: team here. Well, he might be a pretty good player

1952
01:37:04,280 --> 01:37:07,880
Speaker 1: somewhere else. Unfortunately he gets tagged with. Right, if you're

1953
01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:09,599
Speaker 1: a member of the A's and they've had that winning

1954
01:37:09,640 --> 01:37:13,000
Speaker 1: streak and you had the reverse walk out and everything else.

1955
01:37:13,280 --> 01:37:17,800
Speaker 1: But if you're a great player there, you're just part

1956
01:37:18,040 --> 01:37:21,479
Speaker 1: of a terrible organization that's not changing anytime soon, yep.

1957
01:37:21,800 --> 01:37:24,960
Speaker 1: As opposed to finding your way to something a little

1958
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:28,400
Speaker 1: more consistent along the way. He's Dan Byer. I'm Mike

1959
01:37:28,439 --> 01:37:32,800
Speaker 1: Harmon here, Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Sunday Reminder. You

1960
01:37:32,840 --> 01:37:35,640
Speaker 1: want to get in on the action, We've put it

1961
01:37:35,760 --> 01:37:41,040
Speaker 1: up on Twitter at Swollen Dome. You got a logo hat,

1962
01:37:41,320 --> 01:37:43,960
Speaker 1: a logo golf ball, and I've got a stack of

1963
01:37:44,040 --> 01:37:46,360
Speaker 1: golf cards that are waiting to find a new home.

1964
01:37:47,520 --> 01:37:50,960
Speaker 1: Hashtag Harmon scores. Give us the winner, and give us

1965
01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:55,719
Speaker 1: the final score, as in minus ten, minus twelve, someone

1966
01:37:55,720 --> 01:37:58,439
Speaker 1: goes on a phenomenal run and suddenly twenty under whatever

1967
01:37:58,479 --> 01:38:01,360
Speaker 1: the case may be, make a predict, we'll sort it

1968
01:38:01,400 --> 01:38:04,599
Speaker 1: out an award a winner as we flow. He's Dan

1969
01:38:04,720 --> 01:38:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm Mike. This is Fox Sports Sunday, Fox Sports Radio.

1970
01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:09,880
Speaker 1: And you know what, one of the big controversies of

1971
01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:13,280
Speaker 1: the weekend Byer was about begging a team to come

1972
01:38:13,320 --> 01:38:16,320
Speaker 1: back and do more work in front of the cameras

1973
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:19,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL. It's a show that I think jumped

1974
01:38:19,960 --> 01:38:22,080
Speaker 1: the shark a long time ago, but people still seem

1975
01:38:22,120 --> 01:38:24,880
Speaker 1: to like it. We'll talk about hard knocks and how

1976
01:38:24,880 --> 01:38:29,000
Speaker 1: to avoid them next here on Fox. There we go.

1977
01:38:29,040 --> 01:38:32,320
Speaker 1: We get a little Alan Jackson. Daddy, let me drive,

1978
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:35,800
Speaker 1: Dan Byer as I'm trying to teach my daughter bit

1979
01:38:35,880 --> 01:38:39,519
Speaker 1: by bit. It's very strange trying to teach someone how

1980
01:38:39,520 --> 01:38:42,240
Speaker 1: to drive out La roads. Mike Carbon Dan Byer.

1981
01:38:42,280 --> 01:38:45,160
Speaker 3: We're a helmet in the car, right.

1982
01:38:45,280 --> 01:38:47,280
Speaker 1: I keep trying to reach for that fake break, like

1983
01:38:47,320 --> 01:38:52,639
Speaker 1: I'm a driving instructor. It's not there. From La Country Club,

1984
01:38:52,680 --> 01:38:55,920
Speaker 1: part of the one hundred and twenty third US Open Championship,

1985
01:38:56,560 --> 01:38:59,040
Speaker 1: getting ready to tee off here. We should have just

1986
01:38:59,160 --> 01:39:02,320
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes ago go so getting ready here

1987
01:39:02,360 --> 01:39:05,880
Speaker 1: for the final round. So much excitement and anticipation here

1988
01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:08,680
Speaker 1: on the grounds, no question about it. We're excited to

1989
01:39:08,680 --> 01:39:10,560
Speaker 1: be here. Dan and I will walk the grounds a

1990
01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:15,479
Speaker 1: little bit later on today celebrating Father's Day, my mom's birthday.

1991
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:17,680
Speaker 1: You know, a point that I put up in the

1992
01:39:17,760 --> 01:39:20,280
Speaker 1: social media is just to pause for a second, dan

1993
01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:24,360
Speaker 1: is with graduation ceremonies. You know, my love of all

1994
01:39:24,439 --> 01:39:28,200
Speaker 1: things sports and sports entertainment. That you come in to

1995
01:39:28,280 --> 01:39:31,120
Speaker 1: pomp and circumstance, like you're Randy the macho man, right,

1996
01:39:31,360 --> 01:39:33,759
Speaker 1: dun dun dun, dun dud, and you've got the robe

1997
01:39:33,800 --> 01:39:36,439
Speaker 1: and something that you'll have folks flailed their arms out

1998
01:39:36,439 --> 01:39:38,679
Speaker 1: and everything. But then at the same time, you've got

1999
01:39:38,720 --> 01:39:43,560
Speaker 1: the the the tassel, you've got the cap, so you

2000
01:39:43,680 --> 01:39:46,439
Speaker 1: look like the genius. His brother leaping Lonnie pofos So

2001
01:39:46,439 --> 01:39:51,360
Speaker 1: the Poffo brothers celebrated in perpetuity and graduations from Pittler.

2002
01:39:51,160 --> 01:39:55,080
Speaker 3: To post Way to put it together, he was it was,

2003
01:39:56,040 --> 01:39:57,280
Speaker 3: he was the genius.

2004
01:39:57,280 --> 01:39:59,959
Speaker 1: But also didn't he like he was the poet laureate?

2005
01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:02,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I like keV And I also thought he

2006
01:40:02,160 --> 01:40:03,439
Speaker 3: threw frisbees at one point.

2007
01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:08,360
Speaker 1: He did a lot of no question, you know, Randy,

2008
01:40:08,520 --> 01:40:11,680
Speaker 1: Randy Pofa was a minor league baseball player, Yes, in

2009
01:40:11,720 --> 01:40:14,559
Speaker 1: the Cardinals organization, but there you go. There's your little

2010
01:40:14,640 --> 01:40:18,400
Speaker 1: did you know? In talking about minor league. Sometimes that's

2011
01:40:18,439 --> 01:40:20,720
Speaker 1: what we see when a team decides to get on

2012
01:40:20,760 --> 01:40:24,679
Speaker 1: board the Hard Knocks train. Dan Byer and reportedly earlier

2013
01:40:24,720 --> 01:40:27,640
Speaker 1: in this week, the NFL was kind of hoping that

2014
01:40:27,760 --> 01:40:30,200
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell and company would come on board and say yes,

2015
01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:33,360
Speaker 1: because so many teams, so many coaches have just said, hey,

2016
01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:35,439
Speaker 1: do you want to be putting No. No, it's the

2017
01:40:35,479 --> 01:40:40,080
Speaker 1: furthest thing that we want from this and the Lions, man,

2018
01:40:40,160 --> 01:40:42,800
Speaker 1: they may may end up being, by default, uh, the

2019
01:40:42,840 --> 01:40:45,000
Speaker 1: squad that comes back and we look at the history

2020
01:40:45,560 --> 01:40:50,040
Speaker 1: of teams on Hard Knocks not really a thing that

2021
01:40:50,080 --> 01:40:53,160
Speaker 1: you love, yeah, and to be part of, and certainly

2022
01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:56,120
Speaker 1: not getting the results that you're anticipating based on the hype.

2023
01:40:56,280 --> 01:40:59,479
Speaker 2: And I don't think that the Lions should for a

2024
01:40:59,600 --> 01:41:02,800
Speaker 2: multi reasons. But really, Mike, I don't think it's as

2025
01:41:02,840 --> 01:41:07,800
Speaker 2: interesting the second time around. I like they captivated the

2026
01:41:07,840 --> 01:41:11,040
Speaker 2: audience that watched last year, but it's also them playing

2027
01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:14,400
Speaker 2: better who Dan Campbell is what he said throughout the years,

2028
01:41:14,520 --> 01:41:16,920
Speaker 2: all of that Last year's Hard Knocks was a really

2029
01:41:16,920 --> 01:41:20,960
Speaker 2: good introduction for those that didn't know or weren't familiar

2030
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:23,599
Speaker 2: with the Lions, but they shouldn't have to do this again.

2031
01:41:23,640 --> 01:41:27,320
Speaker 2: They shouldn't have to carry the burden of providing entertaining content.

2032
01:41:27,680 --> 01:41:30,880
Speaker 2: It should be spread around and Robert Sala saying like, yeah,

2033
01:41:30,960 --> 01:41:32,880
Speaker 2: the other teams, Yeah, it's a great show, but we

2034
01:41:32,920 --> 01:41:37,200
Speaker 2: don't want it here, you know. To me, I understand

2035
01:41:37,200 --> 01:41:40,840
Speaker 2: as a coach you want to keep everything as close

2036
01:41:40,880 --> 01:41:44,600
Speaker 2: to the vest that you can. But there's also the

2037
01:41:44,640 --> 01:41:47,559
Speaker 2: reality of realizing what's going to hurt us and what's

2038
01:41:47,640 --> 01:41:48,639
Speaker 2: not going to hurt us.

2039
01:41:49,240 --> 01:41:51,719
Speaker 3: I don't think this hurts teams. I don't know any.

2040
01:41:51,560 --> 01:41:54,240
Speaker 2: Team that was like we were really destined for a

2041
01:41:54,280 --> 01:41:58,000
Speaker 2: great year, but then hard knocks came in. Like the

2042
01:41:58,080 --> 01:42:00,479
Speaker 2: problems that you would have are problems that would have

2043
01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:03,680
Speaker 2: been there anyway, whether there was a camera or not.

2044
01:42:04,080 --> 01:42:06,240
Speaker 2: Maybe something happens during the camp that you don't want

2045
01:42:06,240 --> 01:42:08,240
Speaker 2: to see on camera, and that's what they're worried for.

2046
01:42:08,880 --> 01:42:11,120
Speaker 2: All right, so be it. People, you know, forget about it.

2047
01:42:11,120 --> 01:42:14,519
Speaker 2: But one of the most lasting images isn't wasn't it

2048
01:42:14,560 --> 01:42:19,519
Speaker 2: the o Jo Sinko Joe Philbin meeting you know with

2049
01:42:19,600 --> 01:42:22,840
Speaker 2: the Dolphins, Like those are the things that you remember,

2050
01:42:22,920 --> 01:42:26,880
Speaker 2: Those behind the scenes things and I just it's almost

2051
01:42:26,920 --> 01:42:29,960
Speaker 2: like a team isn't if you aren't able to handle

2052
01:42:29,960 --> 01:42:32,920
Speaker 2: hard knocks, and you're probably not able to handle winning

2053
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:36,240
Speaker 2: football games and having a winning culture in the NFL,

2054
01:42:36,280 --> 01:42:39,040
Speaker 2: because it really isn't that much of a nuisance in

2055
01:42:39,080 --> 01:42:39,920
Speaker 2: my mind, you know what.

2056
01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:42,800
Speaker 1: To that point, it's something I've always said, when we

2057
01:42:42,880 --> 01:42:45,599
Speaker 1: get into the well, you can't pull this guy now

2058
01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:48,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL and quarterbacks, you'll never get him back

2059
01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:51,960
Speaker 1: right his conference. Well, then he's not your guy, right

2060
01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:54,840
Speaker 1: if he's not ready. But by circumstance you had to

2061
01:42:54,840 --> 01:42:57,080
Speaker 1: put him out there, or you decided, hey, let's do

2062
01:42:57,200 --> 01:43:01,000
Speaker 1: trial by fire, and then you realize it was too high. Yes,

2063
01:43:01,040 --> 01:43:04,320
Speaker 1: it's okay you in theory, you've got a capable backup,

2064
01:43:04,360 --> 01:43:06,880
Speaker 1: a veteran guy that can come in. Does it mean

2065
01:43:06,880 --> 01:43:09,040
Speaker 1: you're leading to them to the playoffs and the promise?

2066
01:43:09,080 --> 01:43:10,800
Speaker 1: Not No, Because if you were starting the first or

2067
01:43:10,840 --> 01:43:14,479
Speaker 1: second year guy and you had reservations and that was

2068
01:43:14,520 --> 01:43:16,960
Speaker 1: your thinking that it was the trial by fire, you

2069
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:19,320
Speaker 1: probably knew you were in for some rough patches as

2070
01:43:19,320 --> 01:43:23,599
Speaker 1: it were. And if the quarterback can't rally learn from

2071
01:43:23,640 --> 01:43:27,960
Speaker 1: it and get back and keep growing, then he's never

2072
01:43:28,000 --> 01:43:30,559
Speaker 1: that guy. So as soon as that talk starts, it's

2073
01:43:30,840 --> 01:43:32,680
Speaker 1: at the same token. Right, If this is the thing

2074
01:43:32,720 --> 01:43:34,920
Speaker 1: that's going to derail you, then you've got a pretty

2075
01:43:34,920 --> 01:43:36,080
Speaker 1: flimsy organization.

2076
01:43:36,520 --> 01:43:39,360
Speaker 2: I also think that the NFL, with their criteria yet

2077
01:43:39,400 --> 01:43:41,800
Speaker 2: at one point, it does reward teams for winning and

2078
01:43:41,840 --> 01:43:44,800
Speaker 2: do well in doing well. But I also think that

2079
01:43:44,880 --> 01:43:47,519
Speaker 2: they're looking for a team like the Lions were last year.

2080
01:43:47,520 --> 01:43:50,439
Speaker 2: They're looking for a team that is trying to improve,

2081
01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:53,599
Speaker 2: trying to make a step. Otherwise you wouldn't have all

2082
01:43:53,640 --> 01:43:57,240
Speaker 2: this criteria like the first year coach. It's probably unfair,

2083
01:43:57,320 --> 01:44:01,120
Speaker 2: that's one thing, But to say that you're a playoff team, well,

2084
01:44:01,120 --> 01:44:02,920
Speaker 2: why should it be any difference if you're a playoff

2085
01:44:02,920 --> 01:44:04,559
Speaker 2: team and you're not a playoff team the next year

2086
01:44:04,640 --> 01:44:07,719
Speaker 2: is completely different. Well, the NFL is basically saying either

2087
01:44:07,800 --> 01:44:10,320
Speaker 2: they want to reward playoff teams by not having to

2088
01:44:10,320 --> 01:44:13,760
Speaker 2: do it so it is a nuisance, or they feel

2089
01:44:13,800 --> 01:44:16,479
Speaker 2: that the better storyline is with a team that doesn't

2090
01:44:16,479 --> 01:44:17,200
Speaker 2: make the playoffs.

2091
01:44:17,200 --> 01:44:19,760
Speaker 3: Now it may be the former, but I.

2092
01:44:19,720 --> 01:44:22,000
Speaker 2: Think that the latter is really The true part about

2093
01:44:22,040 --> 01:44:25,200
Speaker 2: it is if you went to Kansas City, what would

2094
01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:27,599
Speaker 2: we really learn what would we really see.

2095
01:44:27,840 --> 01:44:33,000
Speaker 1: We already know Kelsey's a goofball. Mahomes can get snarky

2096
01:44:33,160 --> 01:44:35,920
Speaker 1: with the best of them, low key snark like he

2097
01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:38,719
Speaker 1: did this week with Jamar Chase and stuff that he'll

2098
01:44:38,840 --> 01:44:42,240
Speaker 1: hit back. And now that his family's not his front

2099
01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:46,360
Speaker 1: facing that he's been himself. We know Andy Reid likes cheezburgers.

2100
01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:48,439
Speaker 3: What else am exactly?

2101
01:44:48,720 --> 01:44:52,080
Speaker 2: But you have these other teams, newer teams, commanders, your bears.

2102
01:44:52,680 --> 01:44:55,799
Speaker 2: You can learn stuff about them, the new look Saints

2103
01:44:55,840 --> 01:44:56,719
Speaker 2: now that you know.

2104
01:44:56,880 --> 01:44:58,960
Speaker 1: Well Derek Carr said he didn't give his best to

2105
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:03,280
Speaker 1: the down the stretch. Sometimes people need to just stick

2106
01:45:03,560 --> 01:45:06,760
Speaker 1: stay away from a microphone or have some you know,

2107
01:45:06,800 --> 01:45:08,680
Speaker 1: It's like, what was it her? I think it was

2108
01:45:08,720 --> 01:45:13,479
Speaker 1: herm Edwards right about tweeting, don't hit send same thing here.

2109
01:45:13,560 --> 01:45:15,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just need to back away and recognize how

2110
01:45:16,040 --> 01:45:17,240
Speaker 1: poorly that's gonna play.

2111
01:45:17,439 --> 01:45:18,559
Speaker 3: I do just feel it.

2112
01:45:18,640 --> 01:45:21,439
Speaker 2: Maybe his words, he was trying to say something, but

2113
01:45:21,479 --> 01:45:22,320
Speaker 2: I don't know.

2114
01:45:22,360 --> 01:45:25,080
Speaker 3: But anyway, I would love to talking about circumstance and whatever.

2115
01:45:25,240 --> 01:45:27,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd love to see how he makes himself a

2116
01:45:27,360 --> 01:45:30,479
Speaker 2: part of that team. Now, how like that? That would

2117
01:45:30,520 --> 01:45:33,240
Speaker 2: be a storyline that's what the compelling storylines are. That's

2118
01:45:33,240 --> 01:45:34,720
Speaker 2: why those teams do it. And if you're not able

2119
01:45:34,760 --> 01:45:37,280
Speaker 2: to handle it, that sounds like a you problem and

2120
01:45:37,320 --> 01:45:38,240
Speaker 2: not of them problem.

2121
01:45:38,280 --> 01:45:40,800
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. He's Dan Byer. I'm my Karmen here,

01:46:00,960 --> 01:46:03,519
Speaker 1: he going to be more outrageous? What other body parts

2128
01:46:03,520 --> 01:46:07,760
Speaker 1: can he bite or attack as it were? What would

2129
01:46:07,800 --> 01:46:09,880
Speaker 1: be your idea? I think it would be the Jets

2130
01:46:09,880 --> 01:46:10,479
Speaker 1: and Rogers?

2131
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:11,200
Speaker 3: Yeah?

2132
01:46:11,360 --> 01:46:11,519
Speaker 5: Right?

2133
01:46:11,600 --> 01:46:14,360
Speaker 1: How his young teammates are responding to him, He's he's

2134
01:46:14,400 --> 01:46:17,439
Speaker 1: been the greatest tourist the New York, New Jersey area

2135
01:46:17,439 --> 01:46:19,479
Speaker 1: has ever seen. If nothing else, just put a can't

2136
01:46:19,479 --> 01:46:23,000
Speaker 1: GoPro on his head as he goes to the Tony Awards.

2137
01:46:23,040 --> 01:46:26,760
Speaker 2: I honestly don't care because because because I think that

2138
01:46:26,800 --> 01:46:30,800
Speaker 2: there are storylines that develop that allow you to care.

2139
01:46:31,160 --> 01:46:33,479
Speaker 2: And when you have expectations, Oh I can't wait to

2140
01:46:33,479 --> 01:46:36,200
Speaker 2: see what this guy does. Then you're hamming for the camera.

2141
01:46:36,320 --> 01:46:38,280
Speaker 2: Then you're playing it up and it's not natural.

2142
01:46:38,800 --> 01:46:39,639
Speaker 3: I like the show.

2143
01:46:39,760 --> 01:46:43,160
Speaker 2: I enjoy the show every Tuesday night for what five

2144
01:46:43,200 --> 01:46:46,559
Speaker 2: weeks in training camp, your preseason, you've got something to

2145
01:46:46,640 --> 01:46:48,200
Speaker 2: lock in before the season starts.

2146
01:46:48,520 --> 01:46:49,320
Speaker 3: I'm a fan of it.

2147
01:46:49,360 --> 01:46:52,439
Speaker 2: I don't think that it does irreparable damage outside of

2148
01:46:52,479 --> 01:46:55,240
Speaker 2: a few scenes that we've you know, mentioned that are memorable,

2149
01:46:55,479 --> 01:46:57,280
Speaker 2: But I don't think that those are bad, and so

2150
01:46:57,400 --> 01:46:59,080
Speaker 2: I don't think it's as much of a disrection as

2151
01:46:59,120 --> 01:47:01,160
Speaker 2: the team. As the team that don't want to do

2152
01:47:01,200 --> 01:47:02,280
Speaker 2: it are saying that it is.

2153
01:47:02,400 --> 01:47:06,240
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, the visualization of what is a bad story right

2154
01:47:06,280 --> 01:47:10,240
Speaker 1: where someone runs a foul of NFL rules or the

2155
01:47:10,360 --> 01:47:14,040
Speaker 1: law itself, that those are going to be covered, right.

2156
01:47:14,120 --> 01:47:16,880
Speaker 1: So this just shows how the inner workings of a

2157
01:47:16,880 --> 01:47:19,920
Speaker 1: team can help that process or where there might be

2158
01:47:20,000 --> 01:47:22,960
Speaker 1: room for improvement. And sometimes when that's documented, that's the

2159
01:47:23,040 --> 01:47:26,080
Speaker 1: only way change gets it starts to occur, as we

2160
01:47:26,120 --> 01:47:29,200
Speaker 1: see that in all facets of society. Dan Byer in

2161
01:47:29,280 --> 01:47:32,160
Speaker 1: with me Mike Carmen. This is Fox Sports Sunday Live

2162

2163
01:47:36,920 --> 01:47:41,760

2164
01:47:41,800 --> 01:47:44,960
Speaker 1: a hat, a ball, and a stack of golf cards

2165
01:47:44,960 --> 01:47:47,240
Speaker 1: and whatever else I decide to throw in the box.

2166
01:47:48,360 --> 01:47:51,280
Speaker 3: You never know, and it's all safe. Don't have to worry.

2167
01:47:51,320 --> 01:47:54,840
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, absolutely, it's all Look. I've got memorabilia and

2168
01:47:55,040 --> 01:47:57,640
Speaker 1: cards for days. You never know what might show up

2169
01:47:57,680 --> 01:48:00,639
Speaker 1: in some of those stacks. But a guy who's still

2170
01:48:00,760 --> 01:48:03,280
Speaker 1: riding the high as he came back up the five

2171

Speaker 6: I'm trying to stay classy if you will.

2174
01:48:12,800 --> 01:48:17,000
Speaker 1: That second half, buddy, I'm a new coach. Yeah, new attitude.

2175
01:48:17,439 --> 01:48:20,400
Speaker 6: Oh it was delicious, wonderful scene. They do have a

2176
01:48:20,400 --> 01:48:23,920
Speaker 6: great stadium and a great setting down there. Huge crowd

2177
01:48:23,920 --> 01:48:27,040
Speaker 6: of twenty five thousand at Snapdragon Stadium. We had a

2178
01:48:27,080 --> 01:48:32,920

Speaker 6: after he was arrested on Friday night on a dui charge.

2182
01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:46,000
Speaker 6: Huggins had already been suspended for the first three games

2183
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:49,400

2239
01:51:38,680 --> 01:51:41,439
Speaker 1: to be at the happiest place on Earth. Really, heay

2240
01:51:41,439 --> 01:51:43,800
Speaker 1: here on a Sunday because you can go down the

2241
01:51:43,880 --> 01:51:46,559
Speaker 1: road find yourself at a theme park, yes, or you

2242
01:51:46,600 --> 01:51:50,400
Speaker 1: could be here at La country club like us. Because

2243
01:51:50,400 --> 01:51:52,519
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna be dancing like this song is

2244
01:51:52,520 --> 01:51:55,639
Speaker 1: in your head as we get out of the course

2245
01:51:55,640 --> 01:51:56,320
Speaker 1: a little bit later.

2246
01:51:56,400 --> 01:51:59,280
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking I really really

2247
01:51:59,320 --> 01:52:02,200
Speaker 2: Am'm seeing out play out. There is a different energy,

2248
01:52:02,240 --> 01:52:04,559
Speaker 2: and I know like the energy here has been a

2249
01:52:04,600 --> 01:52:06,760
Speaker 2: theme and kind of heightened yesterday with some of the

2250
01:52:06,760 --> 01:52:10,679
Speaker 2: comments Matthew Fitzpatrick made. But there is a different feel

2251
01:52:10,720 --> 01:52:13,040
Speaker 2: when it is a final round of a major championship,

2252
01:52:13,640 --> 01:52:14,840
Speaker 2: different than all the other days.

2253
01:52:14,880 --> 01:52:17,800
Speaker 1: I think it just gets to that difficult proposition of well,

2254
01:52:17,800 --> 01:52:20,800
Speaker 1: what are you expecting, right, it is still a golf event.

2255
01:52:21,120 --> 01:52:21,920
Speaker 3: Yes, so are you.

2256
01:52:21,880 --> 01:52:25,320
Speaker 1: Counting bodies because in theory they should be fairly quiet

2257
01:52:25,360 --> 01:52:28,880
Speaker 1: most of the time. Yeah, right, So to not have

2258
01:52:29,080 --> 01:52:33,080
Speaker 1: large broars like I don't understand the psychology of where

2259
01:52:33,080 --> 01:52:36,240
Speaker 1: he's coming from. Yes, you still have plenty of folks

2260
01:52:36,439 --> 01:52:40,040
Speaker 1: in adoration of your shot. It's maybe a little quieter,

2261
01:52:40,280 --> 01:52:41,000
Speaker 1: but again, it.

2262
01:52:41,000 --> 01:52:43,960
Speaker 2: Is a golf Yes, you're exactly right, and I know

2263
01:52:44,000 --> 01:52:45,640
Speaker 2: we're going to touch on it at the top of

2264
01:52:45,640 --> 01:52:49,880
Speaker 2: the hour. But there is that fine line. There is

2265
01:52:49,960 --> 01:52:53,400
Speaker 2: a fine line, and sometimes if you want too much

2266
01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:56,880
Speaker 2: of one thing, that's not good, and that's what can

2267
01:52:56,920 --> 01:52:58,320
Speaker 2: happen in some cases.

2268
01:52:58,400 --> 01:53:01,839
Speaker 3: By the way, not all players get maybe the same, uh,

2269
01:53:02,479 --> 01:53:03,480
Speaker 3: the same treatments.

2270
01:53:03,600 --> 01:53:04,400
Speaker 1: Sure so.

2271
01:53:04,800 --> 01:53:07,840
Speaker 2: Sergio Garcia perfect example of when he would go to

2272
01:53:07,840 --> 01:53:11,519
Speaker 2: New York, he'd be heckled a lot. It's sometimes the

2273
01:53:11,520 --> 01:53:13,800
Speaker 2: the hecklers can bring great energy to the players that

2274
01:53:13,840 --> 01:53:16,120
Speaker 2: they're cheering for. But there's the flip side of the

2275
01:53:16,120 --> 01:53:16,720
Speaker 2: corn as well.

2276
01:53:16,800 --> 01:53:20,679
Speaker 1: Do you think the heckler had anything to do with Michelson? Yeah,

2277
01:53:20,720 --> 01:53:22,160
Speaker 1: with the sombrero that got ejected.

2278
01:53:22,320 --> 01:53:25,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, probably not, but I think probably Phil had

2279
01:53:25,560 --> 01:53:26,799
Speaker 2: more to do with that than anything.

2280
01:53:27,160 --> 01:53:27,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2281
01:53:27,640 --> 01:53:29,439
Speaker 1: I would still would have liked making him out there

2282
01:53:29,520 --> 01:53:33,519
Speaker 1: in the final round gambling, I think that, And I

2283
01:53:33,520 --> 01:53:35,840
Speaker 1: don't mean gambling is at betting. I mean with his

2284
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:40,519
Speaker 1: shot making that made him made him a lot of big.

2285
01:53:40,360 --> 01:53:42,120
Speaker 3: Four maybe also the other.

2286
01:53:42,040 --> 01:53:45,280
Speaker 1: Well, probably the other two. All right, speaking of big

2287
01:53:45,320 --> 01:53:50,160
Speaker 1: events and big opportunities, David Freese, big consistent player for

2288
01:53:50,240 --> 01:53:53,439
Speaker 1: the Saint Louis Cardinals, was voted the fan favorite into

2289
01:53:53,439 --> 01:53:57,320
Speaker 1: the next class of Cardinals Hall of Famers. Right, big honors.

2290
01:53:57,400 --> 01:54:01,120
Speaker 1: That meant you had a long lasting contribution to the

2291
01:54:01,200 --> 01:54:05,240
Speaker 1: squad and it was a fan voted scenario. So a

2292
01:54:05,240 --> 01:54:08,040
Speaker 1: lot of love, which means you became one of the

2293
01:54:08,120 --> 01:54:12,000
Speaker 1: deer prized players. You know people with the jerseys, and

2294
01:54:12,040 --> 01:54:14,160
Speaker 1: you have your favorite. It might not be a nationally

2295
01:54:14,280 --> 01:54:17,439
Speaker 1: known guy, but there's that guy you know for your Brewers,

2296
01:54:17,439 --> 01:54:20,360
Speaker 1: for my White Soxers, guys I liked that weren't necessarily

2297
01:54:20,520 --> 01:54:26,040
Speaker 1: national national figures. He declined the option. A guy named

2298
01:54:26,040 --> 01:54:29,679
Speaker 1: Max Lanier and jose O Kendo will go in solo

2299
01:54:29,800 --> 01:54:32,640
Speaker 1: and Freeze release this statement. I'm given extreme amount of

2300
01:54:32,760 --> 01:54:35,840
Speaker 1: thought to humbly even before the process began. I'm aware

2301
01:54:35,840 --> 01:54:37,720
Speaker 1: of the impact I had helping the team bring great

2302
01:54:37,760 --> 01:54:39,480
Speaker 1: members to the city I grew up in, including the

2303
01:54:39,480 --> 01:54:42,080
Speaker 1: eleven title, but this honor means more to me. I

2304
01:54:42,160 --> 01:54:45,000
Speaker 1: look at at who I was during my tenure, and

2305
01:54:45,040 --> 01:54:48,360
Speaker 1: that weighs heavily on me. And he goes through and

2306
01:54:48,440 --> 01:54:52,360
Speaker 1: apologizes for declining the honor. Cardinals put out a statement.

2307
01:54:52,560 --> 01:54:55,200
Speaker 1: I've seen him ripped, and he's kind of looking back

2308
01:54:55,240 --> 01:54:57,760
Speaker 1: at the person he was at the time. He's talked about,

2309
01:54:57,920 --> 01:55:01,680
Speaker 1: you know, feeling, and it's tough because it's a voted thing. Yes,

2310
01:55:02,160 --> 01:55:06,360
Speaker 1: so declining that has weight on one side, agree and

2311
01:55:06,400 --> 01:55:08,880
Speaker 1: the other is the well personally, if it's going to

2312
01:55:08,960 --> 01:55:11,880
Speaker 1: make you uncomfortable, I get you have the right to

2313
01:55:12,040 --> 01:55:15,280
Speaker 1: decline it. I would say, go get inducted, just don't

2314
01:55:15,320 --> 01:55:19,400
Speaker 1: go give a speech. Yeah, but let the plaque go

2315
01:55:19,520 --> 01:55:20,920
Speaker 1: up and let people honor you.

2316
01:55:21,000 --> 01:55:23,840
Speaker 2: I understand we see this a lot and arguing about

2317
01:55:24,160 --> 01:55:27,800
Speaker 2: specifically in the NBA, of being like, all right, this

2318
01:55:27,840 --> 01:55:30,560
Speaker 2: guy is better than this guy ever was because that

2319
01:55:30,600 --> 01:55:33,080
Speaker 2: guy played thirty years ago and this guy was playing now.

2320
01:55:33,440 --> 01:55:36,920
Speaker 2: There's a lot of recency bias when we're talking about players.

2321
01:55:37,360 --> 01:55:40,520
Speaker 2: There may be a recency bias with David Freeze in

2322
01:55:41,200 --> 01:55:44,320
Speaker 2: people thinking that maybe he was better than his whole

2323
01:55:44,320 --> 01:55:48,360
Speaker 2: career stated. But you pointed out the fans. The fans

2324
01:55:48,360 --> 01:55:51,560
Speaker 2: are the ones that shows it. He's not the one

2325
01:55:51,600 --> 01:55:55,320
Speaker 2: to decide. He's really not. And I would think that

2326
01:55:55,360 --> 01:56:01,240
Speaker 2: some fans winning that World Series was a huge, huge deal. Now,

2327
01:56:01,280 --> 01:56:04,960
Speaker 2: the Cardinals have been fortunate where they've been a successful organization,

2328
01:56:05,080 --> 01:56:08,200
Speaker 2: so it's not like it's a generational thing or a

2329
01:56:08,320 --> 01:56:10,640
Speaker 2: many generational thing like it was with the Cubs or

2330
01:56:10,680 --> 01:56:13,280
Speaker 2: the White Sox for a while. But still it's with

2331
01:56:13,320 --> 01:56:16,240
Speaker 2: the fans. It's having that role. I don't think that

2332
01:56:16,280 --> 01:56:19,320
Speaker 2: it's David Freeze's choice to decide that. And I think

2333
01:56:19,320 --> 01:56:21,919
Speaker 2: that David Freeze is not only making the wrong choice.

2334
01:56:22,040 --> 01:56:24,360
Speaker 2: I think that David Freeze is actually going to look

2335
01:56:24,360 --> 01:56:28,840
Speaker 2: back and regret it because at some point, Mike, ten

2336
01:56:28,920 --> 01:56:32,240
Speaker 2: years down the line, you know, you take your kids

2337
01:56:32,280 --> 01:56:34,280
Speaker 2: to the Cardinals Hall of Fame, it'd be pretty neat

2338
01:56:34,280 --> 01:56:37,080
Speaker 2: to see, you know, Dad's face up there.

2339
01:56:37,160 --> 01:56:40,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think the thing, you know, you're reconciling your

2340
01:56:40,480 --> 01:56:44,120
Speaker 1: self the person versus the ballplayer. They don't know you.

2341
01:56:44,720 --> 01:56:46,440
Speaker 1: I mean, they know you're a Saint Louis kid, they

2342
01:56:46,480 --> 01:56:49,480
Speaker 1: know you, but they know you as the ballplayer that

2343
01:56:49,560 --> 01:56:51,840
Speaker 1: contributed to their title. Yeah, that's what they're voting on.

2344
01:56:52,040 --> 01:56:52,240
Speaker 3: Yep.

2345
01:56:52,680 --> 01:56:55,200
Speaker 1: They don't whatever went on in your personal life, whatever

2346
01:56:55,280 --> 01:56:59,360
Speaker 1: demons you've had, whatever trials uh you've gone through, they're

2347
01:56:59,400 --> 01:57:03,840
Speaker 1: sensitive to. But ultimately it's an honor reserve for those

2348
01:57:03,880 --> 01:57:06,280
Speaker 1: that help them win and made them feel good on

2349
01:57:06,320 --> 01:57:11,680
Speaker 1: a summer day. So why not embrace that that side

2350
01:57:11,720 --> 01:57:14,960
Speaker 1: of what your life was. And you know, however, you

2351
01:57:15,120 --> 01:57:17,600
Speaker 1: need to come to terms with the other do so.

2352
01:57:17,840 --> 01:57:21,560
Speaker 2: And maybe the news hit him, you know, harder when

2353
01:57:21,600 --> 01:57:25,640
Speaker 2: it actually came through, and maybe felt worse about it.

2354
01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:29,920
Speaker 2: But there's also just the point of saying, hey, you

2355
01:57:30,000 --> 01:57:33,360
Speaker 2: know what. I know, I'm on the ballot here or

2356
01:57:33,400 --> 01:57:36,880
Speaker 2: have the ability to be voted in. Let's just let's

2357
01:57:36,880 --> 01:57:39,840
Speaker 2: put a stop to it right now, Yes, because now

2358
01:57:39,880 --> 01:57:40,960
Speaker 2: it's more of a story.

2359
01:57:41,360 --> 01:57:43,000
Speaker 3: Let's say that he has a second thought.

2360
01:57:43,640 --> 01:57:47,400
Speaker 2: Now he's completely hijacked the entire celebration, you know, like

2361
01:57:47,480 --> 01:57:49,880
Speaker 2: next week, like he's made up his mind to go.

2362
01:57:49,920 --> 01:57:51,480
Speaker 2: In addition to the fact that I said, like ten

2363
01:57:51,560 --> 01:57:54,360
Speaker 2: years down the line, he may he may change his mind.

2364
01:57:54,560 --> 01:57:56,440
Speaker 2: I know he didn't intend for it to be that way,

2365
01:57:56,480 --> 01:57:58,600
Speaker 2: and I do believe that he is very humble and

2366
01:57:58,680 --> 01:58:03,160
Speaker 2: gracious for a time in Saint Louis and appreciates the

2367
01:58:03,200 --> 01:58:04,960
Speaker 2: fan base and may not think that he's worthy.

2368
01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:06,280
Speaker 3: But again, it's not his decision.

2369
01:58:07,120 --> 01:58:08,800
Speaker 2: If he doesn't want to show up, like Jimmy Butler's

2370
01:58:08,840 --> 01:58:09,960
Speaker 2: not going to show up to the Hall of Fame,

2371
01:58:10,240 --> 01:58:13,160
Speaker 2: then that's fine too. But you're a fan vote right

2372
01:58:13,200 --> 01:58:15,760
Speaker 2: like that. That's what it is. It's you're in there.

2373
01:58:16,160 --> 01:58:17,920
Speaker 2: No matter how you went in there, you had an

2374
01:58:18,040 --> 01:58:21,000
Speaker 2: enormous Yeah, you know, you look back at the what

2375
01:58:21,080 --> 01:58:23,360
Speaker 2: ifs and what could have been. I mean, the Texas

2376
01:58:23,440 --> 01:58:26,080
Speaker 2: Rangers were a strike away twice from winning a World series,

2377
01:58:26,360 --> 01:58:30,280
Speaker 2: and David Freese presented that it prevented that and presented

2378
01:58:30,320 --> 01:58:33,120
Speaker 2: then you know his organization with that world series.

2379
01:58:33,200 --> 01:58:36,560
Speaker 1: No, and that's that's the larger part to it is.

2380
01:58:36,800 --> 01:58:40,640
Speaker 1: Even in coming to terms with the honor, you just say, hey,

2381
01:58:40,680 --> 01:58:42,880
Speaker 1: you know, there were parts of me I didn't like

2382
01:58:42,960 --> 01:58:47,280
Speaker 1: Ben that I battled through. Doesn't bring back the best

2383
01:58:47,320 --> 01:58:49,080
Speaker 1: memories who I was, But look where I am now,

2384
01:58:49,160 --> 01:58:52,040
Speaker 1: like it' said opportunity. Yeah, it's got to point out

2385
01:58:52,160 --> 01:58:55,920
Speaker 1: where you're at in your process. And look, you can't

2386
01:58:56,000 --> 01:58:59,200
Speaker 1: change the pass, can't legislate the pass. Whatever you did,

2387
01:58:59,240 --> 01:59:02,360
Speaker 1: whatever you said, and whatever the thing is eating at you,

2388
01:59:03,080 --> 01:59:06,520
Speaker 1: it's not gonna change. Only your perspective of it can't.

2389
01:59:06,760 --> 01:59:07,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2390
01:59:07,600 --> 01:59:10,360
Speaker 2: And by the way, the Cardinals Hall of Fame is

2391
01:59:10,520 --> 01:59:14,640
Speaker 2: not full of of you know, seventy Stan Musials and

2392
01:59:14,680 --> 01:59:15,400
Speaker 2: Ozzie Smith's.

2393
01:59:16,280 --> 01:59:23,120
Speaker 10: You know, it's it's like, yes, probably hers and those guys.

2394
01:59:23,680 --> 01:59:25,960
Speaker 10: I would imagine there are other players that maybe don't

2395
01:59:26,040 --> 01:59:28,240
Speaker 10: rise to the level of those all time greats, but

2396
01:59:28,240 --> 01:59:29,920
Speaker 10: they're still in there for whatever reason.

2397
01:59:30,080 --> 01:59:32,120
Speaker 1: I mean, jose O Kenda's going in, and we love

2398
01:59:32,200 --> 01:59:35,440
Speaker 1: Josea Kendo. Sure, let's just call it what it is sure.

2399
01:59:36,120 --> 01:59:39,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's that's something else that I think he needs.

2400
01:59:39,400 --> 01:59:42,160
Speaker 3: I really think he's gonna regret this decision. I really do.

2401
01:59:42,240 --> 01:59:44,600
Speaker 1: We'll see if he has an about face, see what

2402
01:59:44,800 --> 01:59:46,560
Speaker 1: goes on in the process. I just thought it was interesting.

2403
01:59:46,560 --> 01:59:50,240
Speaker 1: Don't often see folks decline in honor of this type. Hey,

2404
01:59:50,240 --> 01:59:53,360
Speaker 1: coming up next, we'll get back into uh the final

2413
02:00:19,240 --> 02:00:22,480

02:00:46,600 --> 02:00:47,760
Speaker 3: I you're ready to go.

2421
02:00:47,920 --> 02:00:51,640
Speaker 1: Carbon damfyer with you at dan Fires right, Yeah, I'm

2422
02:00:51,680 --> 02:00:53,400
Speaker 1: just getting warmed up. Let's go.

2423
02:00:54,000 --> 02:00:54,760
Speaker 3: It's exciting.

2424
02:00:54,960 --> 02:00:58,920
Speaker 2: Three players on the course have scores posted a couple

2425
02:00:58,960 --> 02:01:01,840
Speaker 2: of more just off, so they were still waiting on that.

2426
02:01:02,120 --> 02:01:07,480
Speaker 2: But Riyo Ishikawa right now one under parn is around

2427
02:01:07,480 --> 02:01:11,000
Speaker 2: through three holes. He's got it. Mike t a plus nine.

2428
02:01:11,160 --> 02:01:14,720
Speaker 2: That's where that's where we stand right now. Long road

2429
02:01:14,760 --> 02:01:17,160
Speaker 2: begins with that first step, you know, just out the

2430
02:01:17,200 --> 02:01:19,360
Speaker 2: door here is the tenth hole, so in no time

2431
02:01:19,480 --> 02:01:21,880
Speaker 2: I love ten. Yeah, this is where I stood for

2432
02:01:21,920 --> 02:01:23,840
Speaker 2: a good chunk of my Tuesday when I came out,

2433
02:01:23,880 --> 02:01:27,400
Speaker 2: just watching them guys practice the nice par four guys

2434
02:01:27,440 --> 02:01:29,800
Speaker 2: should be able to take advantage of it. But right

2435
02:01:29,840 --> 02:01:32,200
Speaker 2: where our the media center is and where we walk

2436
02:01:32,240 --> 02:01:34,160
Speaker 2: out is like right near the landing area where a.

2437
02:01:34,160 --> 02:01:36,480
Speaker 3: Lot of the drives off of ten will tee off.

2438
02:01:36,520 --> 02:01:38,920
Speaker 2: One of the quirks that I love about this course,

2439
02:01:39,840 --> 02:01:42,160
Speaker 2: and sometimes it's not great, as you pointed out earlier,

2440
02:01:42,480 --> 02:01:44,880
Speaker 2: the closeness of it. The fifteen tea boxes right by

2441
02:01:44,920 --> 02:01:47,640
Speaker 2: the fourteenth Green and the fourteenth a par five and

2442
02:01:47,920 --> 02:01:51,240
Speaker 2: a couple of shots that have disrupted those standing on

2443
02:01:51,280 --> 02:01:52,080
Speaker 2: the fifteenth tee.

2444
02:01:52,240 --> 02:01:54,440
Speaker 3: I think Rory almost hit a camera guy Stotdye.

2445
02:01:54,440 --> 02:02:00,240
Speaker 2: Scheffler had to duck and seawoo Kim was I think

2446
02:02:00,280 --> 02:02:01,880
Speaker 2: he was pelted by Keith and Mitchell. I don't know

2447
02:02:01,880 --> 02:02:03,720
Speaker 2: if it actually made contact or see who was just

2448
02:02:03,720 --> 02:02:06,920
Speaker 2: playing around, but you had to take cover at ten

2449
02:02:07,320 --> 02:02:11,480
Speaker 2: the ten tea box is directly behind on Sundays, directly

2450
02:02:11,520 --> 02:02:13,880
Speaker 2: behind the ninth Green and the ninth Green and the

2451
02:02:13,920 --> 02:02:18,080
Speaker 2: eighteenth Green, are you know, fifteen yards apart from each other?

2452
02:02:18,200 --> 02:02:20,120
Speaker 3: You know, twenty yards maybe, but I.

2453
02:02:20,080 --> 02:02:23,680
Speaker 2: Mean very very close quarters with the ninth Green, tenth

2454
02:02:23,760 --> 02:02:26,680
Speaker 2: tee and the eighteenth Green. In fact, Mike so close

2455
02:02:26,680 --> 02:02:28,320
Speaker 2: that I made a TikTok about it. You can get

2456
02:02:28,320 --> 02:02:30,000
Speaker 2: it on TikTok at Buyer Talk.

2457
02:02:30,040 --> 02:02:34,680
Speaker 1: At Buyer Talk. There you go at Harmon Rants. I

2458
02:02:34,760 --> 02:02:37,240
Speaker 1: just need to scream more and maybe we'll take some shots.

2459
02:02:37,280 --> 02:02:40,440
Speaker 1: We'll find some random fans out here and accost them,

2460
02:02:40,720 --> 02:02:44,280
Speaker 1: I mean, talk to them nicely about their days. But

2461
02:02:45,200 --> 02:02:47,760
Speaker 1: a lot of the story this week, as much as

2462
02:02:47,800 --> 02:02:50,840
Speaker 1: we've we've gotten into the play of Wyndham Clark, Ricky

2463
02:02:50,840 --> 02:02:54,320
Speaker 1: Foller atop the leader board, Rory McElroy up there, and

2464
02:02:54,480 --> 02:02:57,640
Speaker 1: everything going on right where we're at in this calendar,

2465
02:02:58,000 --> 02:03:01,840
Speaker 1: all the news and the wait of PGA Tour, the

2466
02:03:01,840 --> 02:03:04,880
Speaker 1: live stuff. We addressed that earlier in the show, but

2467
02:03:05,360 --> 02:03:07,920
Speaker 1: the idea that now we're in the final round of

2468
02:03:07,960 --> 02:03:12,360
Speaker 1: this US Open at a very unique place in the

2469
02:03:12,400 --> 02:03:16,760
Speaker 1: golf world. Right when we talk about for me growing up,

2470
02:03:16,800 --> 02:03:20,240
Speaker 1: it was all right, you had a muni that maybe

2471
02:03:20,320 --> 02:03:23,480
Speaker 1: folks went to, wasn't near us, so we didn't go

2472
02:03:23,560 --> 02:03:26,720
Speaker 1: down the golf world. But and then you'd hear about

2473
02:03:26,760 --> 02:03:31,480
Speaker 1: the country clubs right here, about the northern suburbs and

2474
02:03:31,800 --> 02:03:35,280
Speaker 1: the North Side as it were in Chicago, So you

2475
02:03:35,440 --> 02:03:40,640
Speaker 1: had all all of that. Like I just wonderment might

2476
02:03:40,680 --> 02:03:42,520
Speaker 1: be the way to describe it, Like it was another world.

2477
02:03:42,640 --> 02:03:42,880
Speaker 3: Yes.

2478
02:03:43,160 --> 02:03:46,600
Speaker 1: So for me walking into places like this, having gone

2479
02:03:46,640 --> 02:03:50,000
Speaker 1: to Pebble Beach and knowing the history, you go in

2480
02:03:50,040 --> 02:03:52,280
Speaker 1: and you feel that weight when you come in here.

2481
02:03:52,840 --> 02:03:54,840
Speaker 1: All the build up going back to when it was

2482
02:03:54,880 --> 02:03:59,080
Speaker 1: announced that the US Open was coming here, there's there's

2483
02:03:59,120 --> 02:04:02,520
Speaker 1: just so many stories that are abound right about where

2484
02:04:02,520 --> 02:04:05,480
Speaker 1: it is, the placement the overhead shots yesterday. Here we

2485
02:04:05,520 --> 02:04:07,840
Speaker 1: are just up the road. There's Universal Studios. Here, we

2486
02:04:07,880 --> 02:04:10,600
Speaker 1: are here, you know, there's the former Playboy mansion, which

2487
02:04:10,640 --> 02:04:12,600
Speaker 1: may still be called the Playboy Mansion. But you go

2488
02:04:12,640 --> 02:04:15,480
Speaker 1: all the way through, like all these different little markers

2489
02:04:16,120 --> 02:04:19,360
Speaker 1: of where this is, all the way down to here's

2490
02:04:19,400 --> 02:04:24,480
Speaker 1: the estimated you know, real estate value of eight billion dollars.

2491
02:04:24,160 --> 02:04:26,480
Speaker 3: The Aaron Spelling mansion right just the.

2492
02:04:26,800 --> 02:04:30,600
Speaker 1: Idle rich overlook, all of those things have become part

2493
02:04:30,680 --> 02:04:35,280
Speaker 1: of the lore of the tournament. Coming to this particular.

2494
02:04:34,800 --> 02:04:37,040
Speaker 2: Course, I agree, there is something about being behind the

2495
02:04:37,120 --> 02:04:41,400
Speaker 2: velvet rope, and when you and listen, there's there's there's

2496
02:04:41,440 --> 02:04:43,640
Speaker 2: positives to that, there's negatives to that. You know, some

2497
02:04:43,680 --> 02:04:47,320
Speaker 2: people resent that sort of thing, and so so there

2498
02:04:47,360 --> 02:04:50,440
Speaker 2: are unique emotions. What is interesting with what you laid

2499
02:04:50,480 --> 02:04:53,960
Speaker 2: out and I saw it yesterday and it's actually and

2500
02:04:54,320 --> 02:04:57,280
Speaker 2: I brought this point up, my home state of Wisconsin

2501
02:04:57,600 --> 02:05:01,280
Speaker 2: has just exploded with the game of golf. It is

2502
02:05:01,320 --> 02:05:05,120
Speaker 2: now a golf destination because of the high quality courses

2503
02:05:05,120 --> 02:05:07,680
Speaker 2: that are that are in the state. Wisconsin is a

2504
02:05:07,720 --> 02:05:11,320
Speaker 2: destination not only in this country but worldwide for bibo

2505
02:05:11,480 --> 02:05:11,960
Speaker 2: love golf.

2506
02:05:11,960 --> 02:05:12,839
Speaker 3: You can go to Wisconsin.

2507
02:05:12,880 --> 02:05:17,680
Speaker 2: You can have a boody strip, whistling straight Sand Valley

2508
02:05:17,800 --> 02:05:20,280
Speaker 2: was you know, just built, Like there's there's so many

2509
02:05:20,360 --> 02:05:23,280
Speaker 2: places that you can go that are destination places.

2510
02:05:23,840 --> 02:05:27,360
Speaker 3: When they showed the map of the great golf.

2511
02:05:27,040 --> 02:05:32,160
Speaker 2: Courses in the LA area, it was Riviera, it was

2512
02:05:32,280 --> 02:05:36,360
Speaker 2: here La country Club, it was Hillcrest, it was Brentwood

2513
02:05:36,400 --> 02:05:39,000
Speaker 2: Country Club. They showed Wilshire Country Club, and then they

2514
02:05:39,000 --> 02:05:41,240
Speaker 2: showed Rancho Park. Ranchill Park is the only one that

2515
02:05:41,280 --> 02:05:43,800
Speaker 2: you and I could go this afternoon. Probably wouldn't get

2516
02:05:43,800 --> 02:05:45,640
Speaker 2: a tea time, but then we could go and play.

2517
02:05:46,760 --> 02:05:50,520
Speaker 2: I think there's negatives, positives and negatives, like it's great

2518
02:05:50,560 --> 02:05:53,080
Speaker 2: to have all those great golf courses, but how many

2519
02:05:53,080 --> 02:05:54,800
Speaker 2: can you and I go play? How many can can

2520
02:05:54,840 --> 02:05:57,520
Speaker 2: the average person play? So there's there's a part of

2521
02:05:57,560 --> 02:05:58,960
Speaker 2: that with l A and I and I bring up

2522
02:05:58,960 --> 02:06:02,760
Speaker 2: Wisconsin for the simple fact of sure, the prices are high,

2523
02:06:02,800 --> 02:06:04,800
Speaker 2: like you're gonna have to pay if you want to,

2524
02:06:05,480 --> 02:06:06,960
Speaker 2: but you don't have to be a member.

2525
02:06:07,080 --> 02:06:08,600
Speaker 1: You know what it's like. But it's like anything. You

2526
02:06:08,640 --> 02:06:11,680
Speaker 1: and I have this discussion all the time because people

2527
02:06:11,720 --> 02:06:14,280
Speaker 1: that we work with that you know, when it comes

2528
02:06:14,320 --> 02:06:17,880
Speaker 1: to ticket prices or anything, and right now all el

2529
02:06:18,000 --> 02:06:20,080
Speaker 1: is inflation and run out of a room. But just

2530
02:06:20,120 --> 02:06:23,440
Speaker 1: in general, the cost of going to a concert, cost

2531
02:06:23,520 --> 02:06:27,680
Speaker 1: of going to your local gym probably went up over

2532
02:06:27,800 --> 02:06:32,240
Speaker 1: over time. And golf course isn't going to play so different.

2533
02:06:32,280 --> 02:06:35,600
Speaker 1: You'd choose where your disposable income goes.

2534
02:06:35,920 --> 02:06:40,120
Speaker 2: But we don't have two hundred and fifty thousand dollars

2535
02:06:40,160 --> 02:06:43,080
Speaker 2: to put done on an initiation membership to come play here,

2536
02:06:43,480 --> 02:06:45,520
Speaker 2: you know, are to become a member here, and that's

2537
02:06:45,840 --> 02:06:47,440
Speaker 2: you know, the price of the gym goes up.

2538
02:06:47,560 --> 02:06:50,080
Speaker 3: I get that, you know, but just like the prices

2539
02:06:50,080 --> 02:06:52,800
Speaker 3: of golf. But there's also just the the it's not the.

2540
02:06:52,720 --> 02:06:56,120
Speaker 2: Cost, it's the access to accesibility.

2541
02:06:55,160 --> 02:06:55,280
Speaker 3: Yes.

2542
02:06:56,360 --> 02:06:58,640
Speaker 2: The funny thing as well as you're talking about this

2543
02:06:58,720 --> 02:07:00,720
Speaker 2: place is I've heard this more than a couple of

2544
02:07:00,720 --> 02:07:03,560
Speaker 2: times of people saying, you know, yeah, Joe, buy it

2545
02:07:03,600 --> 02:07:04,080
Speaker 2: all the time.

2546
02:07:04,320 --> 02:07:05,600
Speaker 3: I didn't know what it was.

2547
02:07:05,680 --> 02:07:07,360
Speaker 2: I had no idea because there's not a huge sign

2548
02:07:07,360 --> 02:07:10,080
Speaker 2: that says you know in Los Angeles Country Club.

2549
02:07:10,800 --> 02:07:12,040
Speaker 3: They like to keep it discreet.

2550
02:07:12,240 --> 02:07:15,080
Speaker 2: What I think is even more fascinating is how close

2551
02:07:15,160 --> 02:07:18,520
Speaker 2: Sunset Boulevard is to certain holes that you had no

2552
02:07:18,640 --> 02:07:21,160
Speaker 2: idea that because you just see the mansions and you

2553
02:07:21,200 --> 02:07:22,840
Speaker 2: see the trees, you see it blocked, and you just

2554
02:07:22,920 --> 02:07:25,760
Speaker 2: have no idea that you are a lob wedge away

2555
02:07:25,800 --> 02:07:27,840
Speaker 2: from one of the top golf courses in the world.

2556
02:07:27,880 --> 02:07:29,480
Speaker 2: Like if you knew it was a golf course driving

2557
02:07:29,480 --> 02:07:31,800
Speaker 2: on Wheelshire, that's one thing. Or if you were in

2558
02:07:31,840 --> 02:07:34,560
Speaker 2: a high rise, but when you drive along Sunset Boulevard

2559
02:07:34,600 --> 02:07:37,800
Speaker 2: and it's not the Sunset Strip, but it's Sunset Boulevard.

2560
02:07:38,040 --> 02:07:39,360
Speaker 3: You wouldn't know that you're that close.

2561
02:07:39,400 --> 02:07:41,200
Speaker 2: And it's the same thing because Riviera is just off

2562
02:07:41,240 --> 02:07:43,200
Speaker 2: of Sunset, just on the other side of the four

2563
02:07:43,280 --> 02:07:45,120
Speaker 2: or five. You wouldn't if you weren't a golf fan,

2564
02:07:45,160 --> 02:07:49,120
Speaker 2: you wouldn't know what gem lies, you know, just down

2565
02:07:49,120 --> 02:07:50,320
Speaker 2: the road or on the other side.

2566
02:07:50,160 --> 02:07:50,920
Speaker 3: Of some of those homes.

2567
02:07:51,040 --> 02:07:53,120
Speaker 1: No, And that's that's the thing. A lot of the

2568
02:07:53,120 --> 02:07:57,040
Speaker 1: finances and all of that that come into play, you know,

2569
02:07:57,240 --> 02:08:01,080
Speaker 1: And that's the thing of the I think in general,

2570
02:08:01,840 --> 02:08:04,040
Speaker 1: and this is talking to the to the lay people

2571
02:08:04,040 --> 02:08:07,520
Speaker 1: out there who might get out once in a while

2572
02:08:07,560 --> 02:08:09,840
Speaker 1: with a work event or go to a driving range

2573
02:08:09,840 --> 02:08:13,000
Speaker 1: once in a while. Guy like me, maybe you know,

2574
02:08:13,080 --> 02:08:15,400
Speaker 1: we get invited or we've done a corporate events in

2575
02:08:15,440 --> 02:08:17,720
Speaker 1: the past. It's a while ago, uh, in the pre

2576
02:08:17,800 --> 02:08:20,400
Speaker 1: covid era. But get out and grip it and rip

2577
02:08:20,440 --> 02:08:23,520
Speaker 1: it and look terrible, but have fun doing it. Yeah.

2578
02:08:23,560 --> 02:08:28,320
Speaker 1: But the accessibility, right, or feeling like you belong or

2579
02:08:28,360 --> 02:08:30,920
Speaker 1: don't like, that's the other thing. My my thing was

2580
02:08:30,960 --> 02:08:33,600
Speaker 1: always all right, I guess I can go out and try,

2581
02:08:33,960 --> 02:08:35,520
Speaker 1: but I don't want to be that guy that's holding

2582
02:08:35,520 --> 02:08:40,120
Speaker 1: things up or that's spraying malls that potentially knock somebody out.

2583
02:08:40,720 --> 02:08:43,640
Speaker 1: Now Here, we're seeing some randomness just based on the

2584
02:08:43,640 --> 02:08:46,200
Speaker 1: way the course is set up, and some some errant

2585
02:08:46,240 --> 02:08:49,760
Speaker 1: shots where it's it's been unfortunate. Right the golf cart

2586
02:08:50,480 --> 02:08:52,920
Speaker 1: hole in one is the one that comes in the

2587
02:08:52,920 --> 02:08:56,400
Speaker 1: mind right off the course and into the cup holder there.

2588
02:08:56,640 --> 02:08:58,560
Speaker 1: But that's that was always one of my fears, like, yeah,

2589
02:08:58,600 --> 02:09:01,280
Speaker 1: just don't belong, not because so I don't. You know,

2590
02:09:01,720 --> 02:09:04,920
Speaker 1: we work as we do and we're part of the

2591
02:09:05,440 --> 02:09:09,080
Speaker 1: larger machine. But it's like always feeling you along walk

2592
02:09:09,120 --> 02:09:11,920
Speaker 1: into this point. Everybody's so kind and welcoming. What do

2593
02:09:11,920 --> 02:09:14,720
Speaker 1: you need where you got to go? Like and the

2594
02:09:14,800 --> 02:09:22,480
Speaker 1: reputation and this becomes the private versus private versus exclusivity

2595
02:09:22,720 --> 02:09:25,440
Speaker 1: that we're we are here that some have complained about,

2596
02:09:25,560 --> 02:09:29,320
Speaker 1: some of the players on the tour have complained about

2597
02:09:29,440 --> 02:09:32,480
Speaker 1: right in terms of galleries and who has tickets and

2598
02:09:32,520 --> 02:09:36,240
Speaker 1: who has access and whatever else. But just feel welcomed,

2599
02:09:36,640 --> 02:09:39,400
Speaker 1: feel a bit in awe of it all, because again,

2600
02:09:39,560 --> 02:09:42,640
Speaker 1: a little different world than I'm used to, But it's

2601
02:09:42,680 --> 02:09:46,280
Speaker 1: still that that point of you know, as as we're wandering,

2602
02:09:46,320 --> 02:09:48,920
Speaker 1: and we wander on a little bit later on today,

2603
02:09:49,120 --> 02:09:52,280
Speaker 1: trying to figure out where that perfect merger is of

2604
02:09:52,320 --> 02:09:54,800
Speaker 1: this stuff, and the fact that it's right in the

2605
02:09:54,840 --> 02:09:58,320
Speaker 1: heart of this neighborhood just still bewilders me. And I've

2606
02:09:58,320 --> 02:10:01,440
Speaker 1: lived here forever I knew existed. Right, It's not like

2607
02:10:01,480 --> 02:10:03,960
Speaker 1: it's a secret on a blacked out on a map,

2608
02:10:04,040 --> 02:10:07,080
Speaker 1: like it's a Department of Defense kind of thing. But

2609
02:10:07,600 --> 02:10:09,960
Speaker 1: it's not in your face like you said, there's no signs,

2610
02:10:10,120 --> 02:10:13,840
Speaker 1: there's no hey, come check out our course, like it's

2611
02:10:14,000 --> 02:10:16,640
Speaker 1: it's their own place. Yes, might as well have the interest,

2612
02:10:16,680 --> 02:10:20,160
Speaker 1: Like the Batcave of the nineteen sixty six in TV.

2613
02:10:19,920 --> 02:10:23,040
Speaker 2: Show, you'd be surprised some places. This is a this

2614
02:10:23,160 --> 02:10:26,120
Speaker 2: is a very good marriage. I'm glad that the LACC

2615
02:10:27,080 --> 02:10:30,320
Speaker 2: and their members embrace this. There will be other events

2616
02:10:30,360 --> 02:10:32,640
Speaker 2: coming up. A Women's Open comes up in nine years,

2617
02:10:33,400 --> 02:10:37,800
Speaker 2: another US Open in twenty thirty nine, you know, God willing,

2618
02:10:37,800 --> 02:10:39,560
Speaker 2: we're all here to come back and see that one

2619
02:10:39,600 --> 02:10:40,040
Speaker 2: as well.

2620
02:10:40,680 --> 02:10:42,920
Speaker 3: This is the opportunity to do that. I think the

2621
02:10:42,920 --> 02:10:44,680
Speaker 3: people that have been the most friendly to you.

2622
02:10:44,800 --> 02:10:48,080
Speaker 2: This is not a common membership, it is it's the

2623
02:10:48,200 --> 02:10:50,440
Speaker 2: volunteers and the people are They're on the same boat.

2624
02:10:50,480 --> 02:10:51,640
Speaker 3: They wanted to know what it's like.

2625
02:10:52,720 --> 02:10:56,720
Speaker 2: Yes, they're just as excited to be able to you know,

2626
02:10:57,840 --> 02:11:00,360
Speaker 2: hold that rope or you know, to carry that sign

2627
02:11:00,480 --> 02:11:02,880
Speaker 2: or whatever they're you know, asked to do for the championship.

2628
02:11:02,880 --> 02:11:04,440
Speaker 3: And so this works out in that way.

2629
02:11:04,520 --> 02:11:07,720
Speaker 2: I do wish and I know the USGA is they've

2630
02:11:07,760 --> 02:11:11,560
Speaker 2: set their their plans for the US Open years and

2631
02:11:11,600 --> 02:11:13,880
Speaker 2: years in advance and locking updates with you know, with

2632
02:11:13,960 --> 02:11:18,839
Speaker 2: Pinehurst and Pebble Beach and Oakmont and Marion and LACC

2633
02:11:18,960 --> 02:11:20,360
Speaker 2: as I mentioned and others.

2634
02:11:21,080 --> 02:11:22,880
Speaker 3: There are a lot of private courses.

2635
02:11:22,640 --> 02:11:25,200
Speaker 2: And there is something neat to say, like I played

2636
02:11:25,200 --> 02:11:27,720
Speaker 2: the US Open course and when it's public Victry.

2637
02:11:27,480 --> 02:11:29,040
Speaker 3: Pines, I mean, how much.

2638
02:11:29,360 --> 02:11:32,720
Speaker 2: How much do Pines benefit from not only hosting the

2639
02:11:32,760 --> 02:11:35,240
Speaker 2: US Open, but then what Tiger did on it in

2640
02:11:35,240 --> 02:11:37,040
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight, I think they had probably a

2641
02:11:37,080 --> 02:11:39,240
Speaker 2: decade full run. Probably not going to go back to

2642
02:11:39,240 --> 02:11:42,680
Speaker 2: Tory Pines anymore. Where I'm from. I mentioned Aaron Hills.

2643
02:11:42,760 --> 02:11:45,160
Speaker 2: You know, now six years since the US Open was

2644
02:11:45,200 --> 02:11:48,080
Speaker 2: at Aaron Hills, they still are getting that buzz and

2645
02:11:48,080 --> 02:11:50,160
Speaker 2: they get a Women's Open in a couple of years there.

2646
02:11:51,160 --> 02:11:53,160
Speaker 2: It's neat to be able to go to those places

2647
02:11:53,160 --> 02:11:54,840
Speaker 2: that are public that you don't have to be a

2648
02:11:54,880 --> 02:11:57,600
Speaker 2: member to or know somebody to get to. I wish

2649
02:11:57,720 --> 02:12:00,000
Speaker 2: there was more of that. Pebble Beach is public, but

2650
02:12:00,080 --> 02:12:04,040
Speaker 2: again five six dollars yeah.

2651
02:12:03,680 --> 02:12:06,960
Speaker 1: And wait, hey, am I gonna make it to my

2652
02:12:07,120 --> 02:12:08,160
Speaker 1: time and a.

2653
02:12:08,560 --> 02:12:10,600
Speaker 2: Night's stay if you know need as well, And that's

2654
02:12:10,680 --> 02:12:13,560
Speaker 2: more as well. So it's not as as public as others.

2655
02:12:13,800 --> 02:12:13,920
Speaker 5: You know.

2656
02:12:13,960 --> 02:12:16,480
Speaker 2: I was Chambers Bay up up in Washington would get

2657
02:12:16,520 --> 02:12:19,520
Speaker 2: another opportunity, especially with how things unfolded with the course

2658
02:12:19,600 --> 02:12:22,240
Speaker 2: eight years ago. But I remember talking to people there

2659
02:12:22,360 --> 02:12:24,280
Speaker 2: and they were so proud and they were so frustrated

2660
02:12:24,280 --> 02:12:26,240
Speaker 2: because of how things turned out that they would want

2661
02:12:26,280 --> 02:12:29,040
Speaker 2: the opportunity to you know, to host that event again.

2662
02:12:29,280 --> 02:12:31,800
Speaker 3: I wish we would see more of that. Unfortunately, because

2663
02:12:31,840 --> 02:12:32,840
Speaker 3: they've booked it out.

2664
02:12:32,760 --> 02:12:36,640
Speaker 2: For so long, there's there's only so many spots still available,

2665
02:12:36,680 --> 02:12:38,120
Speaker 2: and I don't think we're going to see that well.

2666
02:12:38,160 --> 02:12:40,320
Speaker 1: And that's the thing. Did you mentioned how long? I

2667
02:12:40,400 --> 02:12:42,800
Speaker 1: mean nine years in the running right before we get

2668
02:12:42,880 --> 02:12:45,880
Speaker 1: to the spot today, think of all the work behind

2669
02:12:45,880 --> 02:12:49,200
Speaker 1: the scene. I want the time lapse photography, right, we

2670
02:12:49,280 --> 02:12:51,480
Speaker 1: got drones for everything else. I would love to have

2671
02:12:51,600 --> 02:12:55,480
Speaker 1: seen the transformation and the shoffling because we again we've

2672
02:12:55,560 --> 02:12:59,640
Speaker 1: talked to people involved with the design and the designation

2673
02:12:59,720 --> 02:13:02,080
Speaker 1: of how they're going to do things here, and every

2674
02:13:02,120 --> 02:13:05,080
Speaker 1: one of them they were giddy about it, right, just oh,

2675
02:13:05,160 --> 02:13:07,400
Speaker 1: I can't wait to show you like and it's like

2676
02:13:07,960 --> 02:13:10,720
Speaker 1: it's under like the sheet right the old presentation, waity

2677
02:13:10,760 --> 02:13:11,200
Speaker 1: and get a.

2678
02:13:11,200 --> 02:13:14,320
Speaker 2: Load of They had a media event that that obviously

2679
02:13:14,400 --> 02:13:16,240
Speaker 2: we've talked about on the show and had the contest

2680
02:13:16,360 --> 02:13:20,080
Speaker 2: with that was May one. The bleachers behind fourteen weren't

2681
02:13:20,080 --> 02:13:21,920
Speaker 2: even built. I don't even think that they were laying

2682
02:13:21,960 --> 02:13:24,160
Speaker 2: out now, which they were because I sculled one over

2683
02:13:24,200 --> 02:13:25,520
Speaker 2: the grain and really.

2684
02:13:25,400 --> 02:13:27,560
Speaker 3: Could have used it back stop, that would have been

2685
02:13:27,680 --> 02:13:30,040
Speaker 3: great monster.

2686
02:13:30,040 --> 02:13:30,200
Speaker 5: You know.

2687
02:13:30,440 --> 02:13:31,760
Speaker 2: But they I mean, and they did a lot of

2688
02:13:31,800 --> 02:13:34,360
Speaker 2: the build up here in like the the last six weeks.

2689
02:13:34,400 --> 02:13:37,560
Speaker 2: The bigger structures were being built and they were set up,

2690
02:13:37,600 --> 02:13:39,520
Speaker 2: but you know a lot of the bleachers around the

2691
02:13:39,520 --> 02:13:41,920
Speaker 2: place weren't there. There was no bleacher around ten could

2692
02:13:41,960 --> 02:13:43,040
Speaker 2: have used one there as well.

2693
02:13:43,480 --> 02:13:45,320
Speaker 3: But uh, but it is neat.

2694
02:13:45,880 --> 02:13:47,840
Speaker 2: There are positives and negatives, just like you're hearing from

2695
02:13:47,880 --> 02:13:50,240
Speaker 2: the players, positives and negatives here. I don't think it's

2696
02:13:50,240 --> 02:13:53,400
Speaker 2: a sour you know experience. I think it's actually been

2697
02:13:53,440 --> 02:13:56,440
Speaker 2: a really really good week and hopefully we have a

2698
02:13:56,480 --> 02:13:57,560
Speaker 2: great chance of good scurse.

2699
02:13:57,680 --> 02:14:01,200
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Obviously some frustrating hole and folks are gonna

2700
02:14:01,240 --> 02:14:03,640
Speaker 1: have their They're always gonna fight about tea times and

2701
02:14:03,720 --> 02:14:05,360
Speaker 1: whatever else. Like that's gonna be every tournament.

2702
02:14:05,360 --> 02:14:06,440
Speaker 3: I'll tell you one big win.

2735
02:15:37,880 --> 02:15:39,640
Speaker 11: that was one. But it was a lot of fun.

2736
02:15:39,760 --> 02:15:42,440
Speaker 12: Got to cover four majors I think in my time there,

2737
02:15:42,520 --> 02:15:45,000
Speaker 12: and so it was it was a lot of fun.

2738
02:15:45,120 --> 02:15:47,880

2750
02:16:14,520 --> 02:16:17,320
Speaker 2: is golf in LA and it's something that Hecket's always

2751
02:16:17,360 --> 02:16:20,240
Speaker 2: been on my mind. I'm not a native of here,

2752
02:16:20,880 --> 02:16:24,440
Speaker 2: moved out here eighteen years ago, and I've always felt

2753
02:16:24,640 --> 02:16:27,160
Speaker 2: it was just a little bit more difficult than from

2754
02:16:27,200 --> 02:16:29,960
Speaker 2: where I was from. And we were just talking about

2755
02:16:29,960 --> 02:16:32,920
Speaker 2: the private club access of that. How do you think

2756
02:16:33,000 --> 02:16:35,880
Speaker 2: the city of La is viewed golf wise for not

2757
02:16:36,080 --> 02:16:38,520
Speaker 2: just championships, we know all that, but just for the

2758
02:16:38,640 --> 02:16:40,840
Speaker 2: common player, how do you view the city of La

2759
02:16:41,400 --> 02:16:42,400
Speaker 2: You know, I was.

2760
02:16:43,080 --> 02:16:46,880
Speaker 12: Talking to Colin Marikawa about this and he mentioned he

2761
02:16:47,000 --> 02:16:51,000
Speaker 12: thinks it is just like there's just two completely divided segments.

2762
02:16:51,360 --> 02:16:53,520
Speaker 12: You have the private clubs and then you have the

2763
02:16:53,640 --> 02:16:57,160
Speaker 12: public courses, and it's a very big divide. And so

2764
02:16:57,360 --> 02:17:01,160
Speaker 12: he's the honorary campaign chair for the you know, for

2765
02:17:01,480 --> 02:17:04,720
Speaker 12: Legacy campaign, which is raising the eighteen million dollars for

2766
02:17:04,760 --> 02:17:07,440
Speaker 12: the Maggie Hathaway Course. He grew up in La Caanata,

2767
02:17:07,520 --> 02:17:09,480
Speaker 12: played here and he had a lot of opportunities and

2768
02:17:09,520 --> 02:17:12,680
Speaker 12: he wants to give kids opportunities to play these courses.

2769
02:17:12,840 --> 02:17:14,320
Speaker 11: So again the.

2770
02:17:14,360 --> 02:17:19,240
Speaker 12: Big divide between you know, you look at the Hillcrest,

2771
02:17:19,280 --> 02:17:21,440
Speaker 12: the La country Club Riviera and how much money it

2772
02:17:21,600 --> 02:17:24,560
Speaker 12: is and how exclusive it is, and you can't just

2773
02:17:24,720 --> 02:17:27,600
Speaker 12: like find a member and come play at some of

2774
02:17:27,640 --> 02:17:29,480
Speaker 12: these country clubs. I don't want to name them, but

2775
02:17:29,879 --> 02:17:32,800
Speaker 12: look at how many or how few golfers that were

2776
02:17:32,840 --> 02:17:35,199
Speaker 12: playing this week had ever played.

2777
02:17:34,959 --> 02:17:36,560
Speaker 11: Here, you know.

2778
02:17:36,800 --> 02:17:42,040
Speaker 12: So I think golf in Los Angeles has There's been

2779
02:17:42,040 --> 02:17:45,040
Speaker 12: a big boom in the pandemic, of course, like many cities.

2780
02:17:45,520 --> 02:17:47,440
Speaker 12: But I think having this here, even though a lot

2781
02:17:47,480 --> 02:17:50,160
Speaker 12: of people didn't get to come out to the tournament,

2782
02:17:50,240 --> 02:17:52,160
Speaker 12: being able to watch it and having it in your backyard,

2783
02:17:52,320 --> 02:17:54,800
Speaker 12: I think will open a lot of eyes and introduce

2784
02:17:54,840 --> 02:17:56,000
Speaker 12: a lot more people to the game.

2785
02:17:56,879 --> 02:17:59,640
Speaker 2: How do you think the week has gone so far

2786
02:18:00,040 --> 02:18:02,600
Speaker 2: better than expected? I just told Mike, I go, this

2787
02:18:02,720 --> 02:18:04,920
Speaker 2: is the one thing that I've not heard, and I

2788
02:18:04,959 --> 02:18:07,680
Speaker 2: think it's a huge plus. I've not heard one traffic

2789
02:18:07,760 --> 02:18:09,160
Speaker 2: horror story, so I think that's.

2790
02:18:09,520 --> 02:18:12,400
Speaker 3: I mean, for this, you know, for this event. How

2791
02:18:12,440 --> 02:18:13,800
Speaker 3: do you think the week is gone for the first

2792
02:18:13,840 --> 02:18:14,160
Speaker 3: time at.

2793
02:18:14,240 --> 02:18:17,960
Speaker 12: LA CC so, I think overall it's been great. I

2794
02:18:19,640 --> 02:18:21,920
Speaker 12: having the major, and people were thirsty for a major.

2795
02:18:22,000 --> 02:18:24,520
Speaker 12: I know, I was first one in seventy five years here.

2796
02:18:25,160 --> 02:18:27,800
Speaker 12: I think the fear kind of like when when I

2797
02:18:27,920 --> 02:18:30,080
Speaker 12: hear about people talking about the eighty four Olympics. The

2798
02:18:30,200 --> 02:18:32,840
Speaker 12: fear of the traffic mess was so big that people

2799
02:18:32,879 --> 02:18:34,640
Speaker 12: stayed off the roads and stayed out of the way,

2800
02:18:35,560 --> 02:18:39,920
Speaker 12: so Karma Geddon the same thing. So I think it's

2801
02:18:39,959 --> 02:18:42,640
Speaker 12: gone off without a hitch. I think, you know, weather wise,

2802
02:18:42,720 --> 02:18:45,000
Speaker 12: people are expecting a lot more sunny days and the

2803
02:18:45,120 --> 02:18:47,520
Speaker 12: first few early days, you know that the marine layer

2804
02:18:47,640 --> 02:18:49,640
Speaker 12: like like, you know, I just drove in. I know

2805
02:18:49,720 --> 02:18:52,640
Speaker 12: you guys got here super early, but it's still out there.

2806
02:18:53,160 --> 02:18:55,080
Speaker 12: So I think people were expecting a little more sun

2807
02:18:55,200 --> 02:18:59,200
Speaker 12: and fun, et cetera. So overall it's been great. You know,

2808
02:18:59,200 --> 02:19:01,400
Speaker 12: A couple of things that you know, I'm disappointed in

2809
02:19:01,600 --> 02:19:04,720
Speaker 12: is no Tiger, which there are no fault of anybody's right,

2810
02:19:05,000 --> 02:19:07,040
Speaker 12: you haven't you've heard the roars around the course, but

2811
02:19:07,120 --> 02:19:10,320
Speaker 12: there's it's always different when Tiger is is not taken

2812
02:19:10,480 --> 02:19:13,280
Speaker 12: up in an event. So that's a bummer. And we

2813
02:19:13,320 --> 02:19:15,600
Speaker 12: certainly hope he'll be back to playing the Majors after

2814
02:19:15,680 --> 02:19:18,440
Speaker 12: his ankle surgery. You know, obviously we don't know what

2815
02:19:19,080 --> 02:19:21,320
Speaker 12: the future is going to hold for him, except that

2816
02:19:21,360 --> 02:19:23,760
Speaker 12: it would probably just be Riviera and the Majors if

2817
02:19:23,800 --> 02:19:26,520
Speaker 12: he can return to play. And then the other thing

2818
02:19:26,640 --> 02:19:29,320
Speaker 12: is not enough people, in my mind, were able to

2819
02:19:29,360 --> 02:19:32,920
Speaker 12: come out here. You know, the tickets were limited and

2820
02:19:33,080 --> 02:19:35,040
Speaker 12: you see the course and how some of the holes,

2821
02:19:35,160 --> 02:19:36,960
Speaker 12: you know, line up where you can't even get any

2822
02:19:37,000 --> 02:19:39,760
Speaker 12: fans on the other side. And I was watching, you know,

2823
02:19:39,800 --> 02:19:42,880
Speaker 12: on TV last night's the Highlights, and I thought, I mean,

2824
02:19:42,879 --> 02:19:45,680
Speaker 12: it just doesn't look like a major in terms of

2825
02:19:46,120 --> 02:19:49,560
Speaker 12: the fans. I want to see people like fifteen deep, yeah.

2826
02:19:49,400 --> 02:19:51,560
Speaker 11: And just you know. But but again, this course doesn't

2827
02:19:51,680 --> 02:19:53,680
Speaker 11: set up that way. So that's the only other decison.

2828
02:19:53,680 --> 02:19:54,640
Speaker 3: I I was selfish.

2829
02:19:54,680 --> 02:19:56,880
Speaker 2: Jill Paynter Lopez CBS two in La joining us here

2830
02:19:56,879 --> 02:19:58,960
Speaker 2: at Fox Sports Radio. Mike Harmon is here. We just

2831
02:19:59,040 --> 02:20:02,800
Speaker 2: have a busted Mike. He's right there, and I'm Dan Byer,

2832
02:20:02,879 --> 02:20:03,800
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Sunday.

2833
02:20:05,240 --> 02:20:07,200
Speaker 11: I came in and started breaking things.

2834
02:20:07,240 --> 02:20:10,480
Speaker 3: Sorry everybody, this is great.

2835
02:20:10,680 --> 02:20:10,840
Speaker 5: Hey.

2836
02:20:11,000 --> 02:20:12,840
Speaker 2: Of course, on the final day, I was going to

2837
02:20:12,879 --> 02:20:14,480
Speaker 2: say I was selfish, and I said, you know what,

2838
02:20:14,640 --> 02:20:16,879
Speaker 2: being here, I didn't mind.

2839
02:20:16,840 --> 02:20:20,240
Speaker 3: The non massive crowds. Okay, I get it.

2840
02:20:20,320 --> 02:20:24,440
Speaker 2: I get Matthew Fitzpatrick's complaint. Understandable. There's a vibe, there's

2841
02:20:24,440 --> 02:20:27,480
Speaker 2: an energy. This place also isn't Boston. This place also

2842
02:20:27,640 --> 02:20:30,800
Speaker 2: isn't New York or Long Island. It's not Philadelphia, it doesn't,

2843
02:20:31,320 --> 02:20:33,920
Speaker 2: never has been, it won't be so for what it

2844
02:20:34,080 --> 02:20:36,040
Speaker 2: is as someone who's actually here, I was selfish and

2845
02:20:36,080 --> 02:20:37,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, I actually like to be able to

2846
02:20:37,879 --> 02:20:40,280
Speaker 2: move around and not have to bump into so many

2847
02:20:40,320 --> 02:20:42,560
Speaker 2: people and actually get to see some golf shots.

2848
02:20:42,600 --> 02:20:45,200
Speaker 12: Right, And I get that, But I will say, like,

2849
02:20:45,320 --> 02:20:48,760
Speaker 12: once you get to the course, and like you said,

2850
02:20:48,760 --> 02:20:50,320
Speaker 12: you don't have to go elbow to elbow. But the

2851
02:20:50,400 --> 02:20:52,840
Speaker 12: other ones I've covered were congressional. When Rory won in

2852
02:20:53,200 --> 02:20:58,920
Speaker 12: twenty eleven, Tiger's in eight which is one of the worlds.

2853
02:21:00,320 --> 02:21:03,240
Speaker 12: The nineteen hole playoff on that Monday with Rockomedia one

2854
02:21:03,240 --> 02:21:05,160
Speaker 12: of the most incredible things you can count on one hand.

2855
02:21:05,560 --> 02:21:08,039
Speaker 3: Ever, See where were you when Tiger made that put

2856
02:21:08,160 --> 02:21:08,560
Speaker 3: on Sunday?

2857
02:21:08,600 --> 02:21:12,640
Speaker 11: And wait, where were you somewhere out there? I don't remember.

2858
02:21:12,760 --> 02:21:14,240
Speaker 3: I didn't see it. Like I was there.

2859
02:21:14,640 --> 02:21:16,440
Speaker 2: I couldn't see it because there were so many people,

2860
02:21:16,560 --> 02:21:20,080
Speaker 2: like I got stuck in the herd, and just like

2861
02:21:20,200 --> 02:21:22,680
Speaker 2: there was there's the spot between the eighteenth hole and

2862
02:21:22,720 --> 02:21:25,600
Speaker 2: the lodge with a pathway and I was probably about

2863
02:21:26,000 --> 02:21:28,560
Speaker 2: sixty yards because I wanted to see considering what Tiger

2864
02:21:28,600 --> 02:21:31,280
Speaker 2: did on seventeen the day before, and all I could

2865
02:21:31,320 --> 02:21:33,480
Speaker 2: do was if you heard a roar.

2866
02:21:33,600 --> 02:21:36,040
Speaker 3: He made it, if he if he didn't, he missed it,

2867
02:21:36,240 --> 02:21:37,360
Speaker 3: and we heard a roar.

2868
02:21:37,720 --> 02:21:42,640
Speaker 12: I had the inside the rope spatch back. Sorry, I

2869
02:21:42,800 --> 02:21:44,760
Speaker 12: was somewhere around the green. I'm sorry about that. But

2870
02:21:45,879 --> 02:21:50,320
Speaker 12: of course, yeah, all right, and see you're looking there.

2871
02:21:50,720 --> 02:21:55,440
Speaker 12: I must say that the fans were a little unruly.

2872
02:21:55,680 --> 02:21:59,440
Speaker 12: I thought on that Sunday Monday they were a little

2873
02:21:59,480 --> 02:22:01,640
Speaker 12: bit better, probably because many of them had to.

2874
02:22:01,680 --> 02:22:02,120
Speaker 11: Go to work.

2875
02:22:02,400 --> 02:22:05,360
Speaker 12: But sure, but I just but I just I love

2876
02:22:05,440 --> 02:22:09,200
Speaker 12: that vibe and the ten deep the fifteen deep galleries,

2877
02:22:09,360 --> 02:22:13,120
Speaker 12: and so in that way, it you know, it's it's

2878
02:22:13,240 --> 02:22:14,920
Speaker 12: just a little bit of a bummer. But again, it's

2879
02:22:15,000 --> 02:22:18,760
Speaker 12: been been a great tournament overall. Hopefully they crown a

2880
02:22:18,800 --> 02:22:21,240
Speaker 12: great you know, great champion is hoisting that trophy today.

2881
02:22:21,280 --> 02:22:25,360
Speaker 12: And but again I think lad did well. We're gonna

2882
02:22:25,400 --> 02:22:28,440
Speaker 12: have the US Women's Open at Riviera in twenty twenty six.

2883
02:22:29,320 --> 02:22:32,879
Speaker 11: They'll be back here. So in twenty thirty nine, I think.

2884
02:22:33,080 --> 02:22:35,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, the men's and the women's at thirty two, so a.

2885
02:22:35,640 --> 02:22:38,160
Speaker 12: Thirty two, yes, So look, las back in the game,

2886
02:22:38,280 --> 02:22:40,520
Speaker 12: and it had been so long, so I'm I'm glad

2887
02:22:40,560 --> 02:22:40,760
Speaker 12: for that.

2888
02:22:42,080 --> 02:22:43,680
Speaker 2: Two more questions and then we'll let you go and

2889
02:22:43,760 --> 02:22:45,680
Speaker 2: do your actual work that you have to do. Of

2890
02:22:45,840 --> 02:22:48,400
Speaker 2: that leader board, you see the names up there. Yeah,

2891
02:22:49,200 --> 02:22:52,600
Speaker 2: who's the best story holding the trophy? Late Sunday evening.

2892
02:22:53,080 --> 02:22:56,600
Speaker 12: Oooh, interesting question, Dan, best story there's so I mean,

2893
02:22:56,640 --> 02:22:58,400
Speaker 12: I think there's one for everybody when you look at

2894
02:22:58,440 --> 02:23:01,840
Speaker 12: the top. But I mean, you know, Wyndham Clark and

2895
02:23:01,959 --> 02:23:04,640
Speaker 12: Ricky Fowler, those two because neither of them have won

2896
02:23:04,680 --> 02:23:08,160
Speaker 12: a major, Right, Rickey Fowler the SoCal kid, I think

2897
02:23:08,200 --> 02:23:09,640
Speaker 12: I'd have to go with him. I mean, he was

2898
02:23:09,720 --> 02:23:13,200
Speaker 12: such a popular he still is popular golfer. You've seen

2899
02:23:13,280 --> 02:23:15,640
Speaker 12: him out signing autographs and it's just an endless line

2900
02:23:15,640 --> 02:23:18,000
Speaker 12: of kids that still love him. And he doesn't wear

2901
02:23:18,040 --> 02:23:21,520
Speaker 12: the flashy you know, orange or stuff anymore, but he's

2902
02:23:21,560 --> 02:23:23,839
Speaker 12: still the same. You know, He's.

2903
02:23:25,560 --> 02:23:26,680
Speaker 11: Just got that it factor.

2904
02:23:26,800 --> 02:23:29,280
Speaker 12: And for him, as good of his career has been

2905
02:23:29,360 --> 02:23:32,480
Speaker 12: to have never won a major and to have come

2906
02:23:32,560 --> 02:23:34,920
Speaker 12: back from the depths of golf to spair right where

2907
02:23:35,240 --> 02:23:39,160
Speaker 12: he had lost his game. Yeah, you know, so, I'm

2908
02:23:39,160 --> 02:23:40,600
Speaker 12: going to say that would probably be the best story

2909
02:23:40,640 --> 02:23:42,240
Speaker 12: in being a so Cal kid. To win here would

2910
02:23:42,240 --> 02:23:44,840
Speaker 12: be great. Wyndham Clark of course would would be as well.

2911
02:23:44,920 --> 02:23:47,120
Speaker 12: And those two playing in the final pairing. You know,

2912
02:23:47,320 --> 02:23:49,200
Speaker 12: how much do people know about the twenty nine year

2913
02:23:49,200 --> 02:23:53,400
Speaker 12: old Clark And not much. It's right, it's Father's Day.

2914
02:23:53,480 --> 02:23:55,800
Speaker 12: He unfortunately lost his mom when he was in college

2915
02:23:55,840 --> 02:23:57,920
Speaker 12: at Oklahoma State. I believe it was when he was

2916
02:23:58,040 --> 02:24:01,720
Speaker 12: nineteen to breast cancer and that was tough for him. So,

2917
02:24:02,280 --> 02:24:05,080
Speaker 12: you know, Father's Day, I'm sure that would be pretty

2918
02:24:05,080 --> 02:24:07,039
Speaker 12: emotional for him. And then, of course Rory hasn't won

2919
02:24:07,080 --> 02:24:08,560
Speaker 12: a US Open since twenty eleven, So.

2920
02:24:09,280 --> 02:24:13,760
Speaker 2: I think what Rory's gone through over the last twelve

2921
02:24:13,840 --> 02:24:16,120
Speaker 2: months and over the last week, Like I was debating

2922
02:24:16,200 --> 02:24:18,040
Speaker 2: him or Ricky and I just thought about it. I'm like,

2923
02:24:18,120 --> 02:24:21,200
Speaker 2: you know what, he gets back into that conversation again,

2924
02:24:22,640 --> 02:24:25,160
Speaker 2: I think Ricky winning would be great, but I don't

2925
02:24:25,160 --> 02:24:27,560
Speaker 2: think it carries over to the Open in a month.

2926
02:24:27,720 --> 02:24:30,320
Speaker 2: I think Rory winning does. Yeah, So I put Rory

2927
02:24:30,400 --> 02:24:32,320
Speaker 2: one in, Ricky a close second, and you're right.

2928
02:24:32,640 --> 02:24:33,439
Speaker 11: Rory McElroy.

2929
02:24:33,800 --> 02:24:36,600
Speaker 12: Again, he was twenty two when he won a congressional

2930
02:24:36,640 --> 02:24:38,160
Speaker 12: and we're all thinking like how many of these US

2931
02:24:38,200 --> 02:24:40,040
Speaker 12: Opens is he going to win? Right, and hasn't won

2932
02:24:40,120 --> 02:24:42,640
Speaker 12: one since now, He's got four majors, so it's no slouch.

2933
02:24:42,720 --> 02:24:44,360
Speaker 12: Had an amazing career. But you're right, the stuff that

2934
02:24:44,440 --> 02:24:47,600
Speaker 12: he's dealt with and being the face of you know,

2935
02:24:47,720 --> 02:24:50,680
Speaker 12: this live versus PGA debate and you know, obviously not

2936
02:24:50,800 --> 02:24:52,520
Speaker 12: talking on Tuesday at the beginning of the week, and

2937
02:24:52,640 --> 02:24:55,600
Speaker 12: it's just you know, this would be a major for him,

2938
02:24:55,760 --> 02:24:58,880
Speaker 12: like a feather in his cap if you will. And

2939
02:24:59,760 --> 02:25:02,680
Speaker 12: I I, you know, I completely agree with him. He

2940
02:25:03,280 --> 02:25:05,879
Speaker 12: as he said he was the sacrificial lamb. I agree,

2941
02:25:06,080 --> 02:25:08,840
Speaker 12: And to go through all this stress and stuff. If

2942
02:25:08,879 --> 02:25:12,200
Speaker 12: he's winning this major here today, I think that would

2943
02:25:12,240 --> 02:25:13,440
Speaker 12: that would be a great story as well.

2944
02:25:13,560 --> 02:25:18,480
Speaker 3: And Scheffler, yeah, I think his game has backed it up.

2945
02:25:18,600 --> 02:25:20,880
Speaker 3: That's the thing. And we did the same thing.

2946
02:25:21,200 --> 02:25:22,840
Speaker 2: We went to the top five and then you're like, oh,

2947
02:25:22,959 --> 02:25:25,040
Speaker 2: Dustin Johnson and Xander Schoffli are there, and then I'm like,

2948
02:25:25,200 --> 02:25:27,000
Speaker 2: what about a Victor Hovlin shoot sixty four?

2949
02:25:27,080 --> 02:25:27,440
Speaker 3: You're there.

2950
02:25:28,160 --> 02:25:31,080
Speaker 2: I don't think it's realistic, but there are there are storylines.

2951
02:25:31,120 --> 02:25:34,200
Speaker 2: I'm obligated by the rules of golf. You mentioned Tiger.

2952
02:25:34,280 --> 02:25:36,920
Speaker 2: We talked a little Tiger. Do you think we will

2953
02:25:36,959 --> 02:25:38,199
Speaker 2: see him again?

2954
02:25:38,480 --> 02:25:38,680
Speaker 5: I do.

2955
02:25:39,240 --> 02:25:41,760
Speaker 12: He's so competitive that I know he wants to get back.

2956
02:25:41,760 --> 02:25:44,480
Speaker 12: He probably wants to end his career on his own terms. Yeah,

2957
02:25:45,000 --> 02:25:47,080
Speaker 12: but the problem is is what kind of Tiger Woods

2958
02:25:47,120 --> 02:25:48,520
Speaker 12: will we see when he gets back?

2959
02:25:48,920 --> 02:25:51,600
Speaker 11: And so I think that's the that's that's the question.

2960
02:25:52,120 --> 02:25:53,960
Speaker 12: I think he's going to try it for sure, but

2961
02:25:54,520 --> 02:25:57,320
Speaker 12: you know, just playing those four Majors and maybe Rivera,

2962
02:25:57,320 --> 02:25:59,119
Speaker 12: which he hosts the Genesis Invitational.

2963
02:25:59,480 --> 02:26:02,039
Speaker 11: I just it's so unknown. But he has come back

2964
02:26:02,160 --> 02:26:02,920
Speaker 11: so many times.

2965
02:26:02,959 --> 02:26:05,840
Speaker 12: I mean, you think about how many surgeries, the knee surgeries,

2966
02:26:05,879 --> 02:26:10,360
Speaker 12: this last ankle surgery, and the way he's come back,

2967
02:26:10,400 --> 02:26:12,040
Speaker 12: the scandal, the way he came back.

2968
02:26:13,560 --> 02:26:15,080
Speaker 11: It just I never count them out.

2969
02:26:15,240 --> 02:26:17,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I think we will see him again.

2970
02:26:17,800 --> 02:26:19,720
Speaker 2: I don't know what Tiger as he said, we'll see,

2971
02:26:20,120 --> 02:26:21,840
Speaker 2: but there's no way he's going out like this. Jill

2994
02:27:12,800 --> 02:27:14,760

Speaker 6: Ricky Fowler and Wyndham Clark tied for the lead at

2999
02:27:27,080 --> 02:27:30,600

3000
02:27:30,680 --> 02:27:33,680

3006
02:27:50,760 --> 02:27:53,920
Speaker 6: of the upcoming season after making homophobic remarks on a

3008
02:27:57,840 --> 02:28:01,520
Speaker 6: reinstated infielder Pete alon from the injured list today. I

3009
02:28:01,560 --> 02:28:03,520
Speaker 6: was thought he's going to be out longer because of

3010
02:28:03,560 --> 02:28:06,320
Speaker 6: a sprained wrist. Alonzo will play first base and Matt

3011
02:28:06,360 --> 02:28:09,480

3022
02:28:42,160 --> 02:28:44,840

02:30:11,800 --> 02:30:15,119
Speaker 2: just trying to find a way where a three under

3050
02:30:15,360 --> 02:30:18,080
Speaker 2: like a Cam Smith or a two under like Victor

3051
02:30:18,160 --> 02:30:21,960
Speaker 2: Hoveland would make their way up. And so, like I said,

3052
02:30:22,040 --> 02:30:25,520
Speaker 2: like with Hoveland or Smith, if they shoot sixty four,

3053
02:30:26,959 --> 02:30:29,760
Speaker 2: it puts them in contection contention, would put Smith at

3054
02:30:29,840 --> 02:30:33,160
Speaker 2: nine under, would put Hoveland at eight under. But then

3055
02:30:33,240 --> 02:30:36,000
Speaker 2: you would need Clark and Fowler to be over par,

3056
02:30:36,160 --> 02:30:39,200
Speaker 2: which isn't out of the question considering the pressures of

3057
02:30:39,320 --> 02:30:43,760
Speaker 2: a final pairing at a US Open. In the final round,

3058
02:30:44,640 --> 02:30:48,320
Speaker 2: it's just the Scottie Scheffler, you know, remain in neutral.

3059
02:30:48,400 --> 02:30:52,000
Speaker 2: Does Rory fall back it's just difficult for.

3060
02:30:52,040 --> 02:30:52,520
Speaker 3: Me to see.

3061
02:30:52,560 --> 02:30:54,480
Speaker 2: I think the fives have a chance. I think Dustin

3062
02:30:54,520 --> 02:30:57,400
Speaker 2: Johnson and Xander Schoffley do. But yeah, three and two

3063
02:30:57,560 --> 02:31:01,000
Speaker 2: is just too many guys in between, caliber players as well.

3064
02:31:01,240 --> 02:31:03,879
Speaker 2: In between. It's just too much to ask. I think

3065
02:31:04,280 --> 02:31:06,440
Speaker 2: some people say we got a five horse race. I

3066
02:31:06,560 --> 02:31:07,480
Speaker 2: say seven horses.

3067
02:31:07,560 --> 02:31:10,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, waiting on a number of people ahead of you

3068
02:31:10,360 --> 02:31:13,720
Speaker 1: to fall back. Just go out and shoot your own right.

3069
02:31:13,800 --> 02:31:17,360
Speaker 1: Control what you can control, and obviously you got to

3070
02:31:17,360 --> 02:31:19,360
Speaker 1: do a little bit of scoreboard watching to figure out

3071
02:31:19,360 --> 02:31:22,080
Speaker 1: when you may have to gamble a little bit more.

3072
02:31:22,520 --> 02:31:24,680
Speaker 1: As you get to your back nine, we'll see how

3073
02:31:24,760 --> 02:31:25,600
Speaker 1: the course plays.

3074
02:31:26,240 --> 02:31:26,400
Speaker 3: Right.

3075
02:31:26,520 --> 02:31:30,520
Speaker 1: The marine layer still floating around as I'm looking out

3076
02:31:30,560 --> 02:31:31,480
Speaker 1: the windows out here.

3077
02:31:31,640 --> 02:31:34,600
Speaker 2: I just stepped outside for a little bit and it's

3078
02:31:34,640 --> 02:31:38,960
Speaker 2: a wet marine layer. There's a mist that is allowing

3079
02:31:39,560 --> 02:31:43,080
Speaker 2: that will allow these greens to be receptive, especially early

3080
02:31:43,080 --> 02:31:44,480
Speaker 2: in the morning. The guys they're playing right now are

3081
02:31:44,760 --> 02:31:47,160
Speaker 2: way far back. They're not going to catch anybody. But

3082
02:31:47,959 --> 02:31:51,080
Speaker 2: if you get some advantage, and again it shouldn't it

3083
02:31:51,080 --> 02:31:53,720
Speaker 2: shouldn't dry out through the day, it shouldn't be treacherous.

3084
02:31:54,480 --> 02:31:56,200
Speaker 3: There will be the ability to make a score.

3085
02:31:56,280 --> 02:31:58,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I know driving in very early this morning

3086
02:31:58,920 --> 02:32:02,200
Speaker 1: as we got here. Thanks for the hospitality. Thank you

3087
02:32:02,320 --> 02:32:05,160
Speaker 1: Dan Bayer for helping to put this together and give

3088
02:32:05,240 --> 02:32:07,240
Speaker 1: us the opportunity to come and broadcast out here from

3089
02:32:07,360 --> 02:32:10,280
Speaker 1: LA Country Club. It was kind of missing on the

3090
02:32:11,120 --> 02:32:14,360
Speaker 1: windshield as I was coming in. It's like, well, this

3091
02:32:14,560 --> 02:32:16,760
Speaker 1: adds a little bit of an element and excitement.

3092
02:32:16,800 --> 02:32:19,440
Speaker 2: No, I do want to tell the story because you

3093
02:32:19,600 --> 02:32:22,080
Speaker 2: mentioned it as well, and we hadn't talked about this

3094
02:32:23,080 --> 02:32:26,400
Speaker 2: this event. We had known for gosh, I think it's

3095
02:32:26,440 --> 02:32:28,200
Speaker 2: like nine or ten years that it was coming to

3096
02:32:28,280 --> 02:32:31,760
Speaker 2: the La Country Club in twenty twenty three. So you

3097
02:32:32,040 --> 02:32:36,879
Speaker 2: plan for everything and the one thing, and I'm sure

3098
02:32:37,240 --> 02:32:39,520
Speaker 2: you had just on the fly, but the one thing

3099
02:32:39,600 --> 02:32:41,000
Speaker 2: that didn't realized was that the.

3100
02:32:41,200 --> 02:32:43,920
Speaker 3: Driving range net was not high enough.

3101
02:32:44,240 --> 02:32:51,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and guys were flying the net and that's great, Noll,

3102
02:32:52,040 --> 02:32:54,440
Speaker 2: except when you have media members like Mike Harmon and

3103
02:32:54,520 --> 02:32:58,480
Speaker 2: myself and other people using that entrance to walk in,

3104
02:32:58,720 --> 02:33:03,439
Speaker 2: so people were people could be pelted by golf balls.

3105
02:33:03,200 --> 02:33:05,039
Speaker 3: Because the driving range that wasn't too high.

3106
02:33:05,360 --> 02:33:07,879
Speaker 2: You said you saw like a field of balls over

3107
02:33:07,959 --> 02:33:10,600
Speaker 2: a set of temporary stairs that we walked.

3108
02:33:10,440 --> 02:33:12,440
Speaker 1: There were a bunch of balls laying there, and then

3109
02:33:12,920 --> 02:33:15,440
Speaker 1: we saw a couple of kids as I was leaving

3110
02:33:15,520 --> 02:33:19,320
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, after wandering the course a bit like trying

3111
02:33:19,360 --> 02:33:21,039
Speaker 1: to dive over the top, and they were just getting

3112
02:33:21,120 --> 02:33:24,600
Speaker 1: the stair, like the stair you got. Hey, Happy Father's

3113
02:33:24,680 --> 02:33:26,320
Speaker 1: Day to all of you out there. You know the

3114
02:33:26,400 --> 02:33:28,720
Speaker 1: stair that you got. You don't need any words. There's

3115
02:33:28,760 --> 02:33:30,680
Speaker 1: no words to it. There's no hate. Don't do that.

3116
02:33:30,800 --> 02:33:33,840
Speaker 1: It's just I see you right, the whole Robert de

3117
02:33:33,920 --> 02:33:36,800
Speaker 1: Niro eyeballing thing. But there were a number of balls

3118
02:33:36,840 --> 02:33:39,640
Speaker 1: that found their way. I would say in the one

3119
02:33:39,720 --> 02:33:41,520
Speaker 1: area I looked at it, there had to be a dozen,

3120
02:33:41,600 --> 02:33:45,080
Speaker 1: if not more, just in a small concentrated area. And

3121
02:33:45,280 --> 02:33:47,400
Speaker 1: so to come back to this morning and you pointing

3122
02:33:47,440 --> 02:33:50,960
Speaker 1: out the extra nets, higher nets that had been added,

3123
02:33:51,240 --> 02:33:52,240
Speaker 1: I can't say I'm shocked.

3124
02:33:52,320 --> 02:33:54,240
Speaker 2: I wasn't here Tuesday and Wednesday, but when I came

3125
02:33:54,280 --> 02:33:57,720
Speaker 2: back Thursday, there was a temporary an additional net that

3126
02:33:57,879 --> 02:34:01,640
Speaker 2: was added, and then I didn't notice sit. I didn't

3127
02:34:01,680 --> 02:34:05,000
Speaker 2: notice it Friday or I wasn't here yesterday, but walking

3128
02:34:05,120 --> 02:34:06,880
Speaker 2: in they had added around.

3129
02:34:06,920 --> 02:34:08,720
Speaker 3: They had added even more on the corner.

3130
02:34:08,920 --> 02:34:12,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, way, yes, yeah, just amazing.

3131
02:34:13,000 --> 02:34:14,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's what you get when you get the

3132
02:34:14,520 --> 02:34:18,480
Speaker 2: world's best. Those driving range nets are those driving arrange

3133
02:34:18,560 --> 02:34:20,840
Speaker 2: nets are for the membership.

3134
02:34:20,879 --> 02:34:22,240
Speaker 3: They're not going to be hitting it over. But when

3135
02:34:22,280 --> 02:34:23,400
Speaker 3: you get the world's best.

3136
02:34:24,360 --> 02:34:26,880
Speaker 1: Launch Yes, what do you think the launch angle went? No,

3137
02:34:27,120 --> 02:34:28,039
Speaker 1: just kidding, And I.

3138
02:34:28,200 --> 02:34:30,320
Speaker 2: Guarantee the players are, like you think we can hit them?

3139
02:34:30,400 --> 02:34:31,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, let's try.

3140
02:34:31,600 --> 02:34:34,920
Speaker 1: Oh, especially seeing see me out there. I've probably said

3141
02:34:34,959 --> 02:34:37,600
Speaker 1: something dumb, they've hurt on the radio and might have

3142
02:34:37,680 --> 02:34:40,880
Speaker 1: been a spot that kind of situation going on. I

3143
02:34:41,040 --> 02:34:44,760
Speaker 1: bet I can. So who's winning? Gosh, you've been trying

3144
02:34:44,800 --> 02:34:47,160
Speaker 1: to find it? You said, now we're getting seven in

3145
02:34:48,120 --> 02:34:50,800
Speaker 1: we're going from this top seven Now history says till

3146
02:34:50,879 --> 02:34:55,000
Speaker 1: last twenty four. Gotta be four shots or less between

3147
02:34:55,040 --> 02:34:55,600
Speaker 1: you and the leader.

3148
02:34:55,680 --> 02:34:57,520
Speaker 2: Can I drag this out a little bit because I

3149
02:34:57,600 --> 02:34:59,600
Speaker 2: want to I want to explain. I do think that

3150
02:34:59,720 --> 02:35:01,879
Speaker 2: Ricky Fowlers missed last night was a big deal.

3151
02:35:01,959 --> 02:35:02,680
Speaker 1: It's a huge deal.

3152
02:35:02,800 --> 02:35:07,600
Speaker 2: I just there's you don't want rick to to fold

3153
02:35:08,040 --> 02:35:12,040
Speaker 2: and we forget how good Ricky Fowler of a player

3154
02:35:12,120 --> 02:35:14,959
Speaker 2: he is. But again, when you're trying to get back

3155
02:35:15,120 --> 02:35:18,600
Speaker 2: to that point. You have an opportunity. At the time

3156
02:35:18,720 --> 02:35:20,520
Speaker 2: you think I make this pot, I could very well

3157
02:35:20,600 --> 02:35:22,240
Speaker 2: have a two shot lead. Even if you made it,

3158
02:35:22,320 --> 02:35:24,440
Speaker 2: it would only have been a one shot lead. But

3159
02:35:24,520 --> 02:35:26,920
Speaker 2: we're nine years removed from the guy finishing in the

3160
02:35:27,000 --> 02:35:29,760
Speaker 2: top five of the every major that year. That was

3161
02:35:29,800 --> 02:35:33,600
Speaker 2: in twenty fourteen, T five, couple of T two's and

3162
02:35:33,640 --> 02:35:38,080
Speaker 2: a T three. I am concerned about that putt. I

3163
02:35:38,200 --> 02:35:40,160
Speaker 2: really like the way that Wyndham Clark finished. I think

3164
02:35:40,240 --> 02:35:42,760
Speaker 2: that is a telltale sign. I think Rory's got a

3165
02:35:42,800 --> 02:35:46,600
Speaker 2: game in him. But very rarely do the Gulf gods

3166
02:35:48,040 --> 02:35:50,080
Speaker 2: shine upon you the way that they have done. Scotty

3167
02:35:50,160 --> 02:35:54,080
Speaker 2: Scheffler and Scotty Scheffler not only eagle the seventeenth hole,

3168
02:35:54,560 --> 02:35:56,920
Speaker 2: he made a twenty two foot birdie put on eighteen.

3169
02:35:57,080 --> 02:36:00,960
Speaker 2: Mike and the flat stick has been the nemesis of

3170
02:36:00,959 --> 02:36:03,560
Speaker 2: Scotti Scheffler. There's no one striking the ball better in

3171
02:36:03,640 --> 02:36:07,440
Speaker 2: the entire world than Scotty Scheffler is just three shots back.

3172
02:36:07,600 --> 02:36:11,160
Speaker 2: I expect to see something special from Scheffler today. He

3173
02:36:11,240 --> 02:36:14,320
Speaker 2: played on the twenty seventeen Walker Cup team that dominated

3174
02:36:14,440 --> 02:36:17,440
Speaker 2: Great Britain and Ireland, and I think Scotti Scheffler gets

3175
02:36:17,480 --> 02:36:19,400
Speaker 2: it done today for major number two.

3176
02:36:19,600 --> 02:36:23,520
Speaker 1: There you go, sitting in the fourth slot, seven under.

3177
02:36:24,120 --> 02:36:26,520
Speaker 1: I think we you know, you were talking with Joe

3178
02:36:26,600 --> 02:36:30,600
Speaker 1: Paynter Lopez. Thank you to her for stopping by as

3179
02:36:30,680 --> 02:36:33,720
Speaker 1: I was your videographer. So we'll have clips of that

3180
02:36:34,520 --> 02:36:36,920
Speaker 1: that come up a little later today. Here's the deal.

3181
02:36:37,600 --> 02:36:39,480
Speaker 2: I tested it earlier in the week, but we had

3182
02:36:39,520 --> 02:36:42,840
Speaker 2: to do an equipment swap, so then when we swamped it,

3183
02:36:43,000 --> 02:36:44,959
Speaker 2: I didn't realize I hadn't checked.

3184
02:36:44,760 --> 02:36:49,320
Speaker 3: The new equipment, and the new equipment gave us the

3185
02:36:49,400 --> 02:36:51,200
Speaker 3: double bogie of the day. That's what it was.

3186
02:36:51,440 --> 02:36:53,720
Speaker 1: That's all right. I'll claim it was my errand t

3187
02:36:53,920 --> 02:36:58,720
Speaker 1: shot that did us in, but I can always blame round.

3188
02:36:58,760 --> 02:36:58,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

3189
02:36:59,160 --> 02:37:02,560
Speaker 1: But owing to that, that conversation about you know, storylines

3190
02:37:02,600 --> 02:37:06,800
Speaker 1: and everything else, the follower is a big deal, right.

3191
02:37:07,080 --> 02:37:09,600
Speaker 1: You know, you talked about the longevity, talked about where

3192
02:37:10,560 --> 02:37:14,119
Speaker 1: his career has been, the expectations thereof about the Rory

3193
02:37:14,200 --> 02:37:16,840
Speaker 1: McElroy thing. I mean, you want to talk about being

3194
02:37:16,879 --> 02:37:20,520
Speaker 1: able to take a victory lap. Yeah, and whatever he

3195
02:37:20,720 --> 02:37:24,120
Speaker 1: hasn't said yet you don't want to hear. I mean,

3196
02:37:24,160 --> 02:37:26,480
Speaker 1: that's the speech. Yes at the end of the day,

3197
02:37:26,600 --> 02:37:30,360
Speaker 1: right whatever, he hasn't yet let go of this. This

3198
02:37:30,480 --> 02:37:34,280
Speaker 1: would be your cathartic moment of I've got this championship

3199
02:37:34,840 --> 02:37:35,680
Speaker 1: and here's what I think.

3200
02:37:36,120 --> 02:37:39,240
Speaker 2: And it would be very very interesting if Rory wins

3201
02:37:39,360 --> 02:37:43,960
Speaker 2: this of what happens next, because the next major is

3202
02:37:44,080 --> 02:37:46,440
Speaker 2: at Royal Liverpool and the last player to win at

3203
02:37:46,520 --> 02:37:50,200
Speaker 2: Royal Liverpool was Rory McElroy in twenty fourteen. So you

3204
02:37:50,280 --> 02:37:53,760
Speaker 2: want to talk about momentum, good vibes, maybe things going

3205
02:37:53,840 --> 02:37:56,199
Speaker 2: your way. And I don't know, just mentioned the golf

3206
02:37:56,240 --> 02:37:58,840
Speaker 2: gods earlier. Maybe the golf gods, you know, shedding some

3207
02:37:58,959 --> 02:38:02,600
Speaker 2: light giving Rory mcelroyal break considering what has gone over.

3208
02:38:03,200 --> 02:38:05,520
Speaker 2: I know, got some feedback on social media, some people

3209
02:38:05,640 --> 02:38:09,160
Speaker 2: not loving Rory's actions. I'd love Rory's actions with a

3210
02:38:09,200 --> 02:38:12,120
Speaker 2: whole live PGA tour thing. He was the one that

3211
02:38:12,320 --> 02:38:14,720
Speaker 2: was hung out to dry and you know what, he's

3212
02:38:14,760 --> 02:38:18,720
Speaker 2: actually handled it pretty well since then.

3213
02:38:18,840 --> 02:38:21,879
Speaker 3: So the golfing gods could very much smile on Rory mclroy.

3214
02:38:21,920 --> 02:38:25,280
Speaker 1: So we'll save our conversation about Chris Paul and the

3215
02:38:25,480 --> 02:38:29,359
Speaker 1: NBA trade deadline. We did a lot of uh PGA

3216
02:38:29,520 --> 02:38:32,120
Speaker 1: Tour and the US Open as we should. We are

3217
02:38:32,879 --> 02:38:36,920
Speaker 1: here at the La Country Club as we're closing up shop.

3218
02:38:37,080 --> 02:38:37,720
Speaker 1: So much fun.

3219
02:38:37,840 --> 02:38:40,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I went by to the USGA for having us out.

3220
02:38:40,200 --> 02:38:42,200
