Speaker 2: Golf is full of mathematics.

3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: There's a lot of setup work that we have to

4
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: do in order to make a tournament work.

5
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,360

11
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 1: acclimated back in the best city in the world. And

12
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: I do have to apologize. I'm not sure who here

13
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: is for the loud, vibrant base and you know, intimidating

14
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: stage presence, but electrifying stage presence. But apologies, we're gonna

15
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: talk off. So, yeah, it's been it's been a great

16
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: week here.

17
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: We're obviously doing some reconnaissance for the President's Cup, as

18
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 3: one does, we move on from the super Bowl then

19
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 3: the next great sporting event in America.

20
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: So we've been here all week.

21
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: You've been talking about like you just led the best

22
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 3: city in the world, how humble and down to earth

23
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: everything is, and then followed up with this is the

24
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: best burger in the world. This is the best cocktail

25
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 3: in the world. There's definitely the best pizza, for sure,

26
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 3: in the world. So it's kind of like a dichotomy

27
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 3: we've been dealing with with Chicago. You're down to earth nature.

28
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: We only you know, say that stuff when we really

29
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: trust on them, So you should take it as an

30
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: endearing fact. It has been great. You know, if we

31
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: were talking to a random stranger, would be like, oh,

32
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: it's okay, you know, we're all right. You know, it's

33
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: a good place.

34
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: I've enjoyed giving you crap all week go getting my

35
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: coffee from Capitol One Cafe and other boutiques that you

36
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 3: can only get in Chicago, places like that.

37
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: Have you been back. I haven't been back. I haven't back.

38
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: That was a dire situation. Coffee as fast as you can. Uh,

39
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: they spend your what's been your favorite stop so far?

40
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: It's a good question. I did not to be sort

41
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: of is this cliche?

42
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: I mean, cliches become cliches because they're true, there's an

43
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 3: element of truth to them. But I did really enjoy

44
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 3: a chival last night. I did really really enjoy that,

45
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 3: you know, best burger in the world. I don't know,

46
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 3: this is a subjective thing.

47
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 4: It was very, very very.

48
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: Good and I highly approve of that place. Yeah, my

49
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: father in law has a bit about like the best

50
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: burger in the world. He thinks that it's like a

51
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: whole load of crap, like everybody's like, this is the

52
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: best burger in town. It's like, you know, there is

53
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: no best burger, is what he says. But it's a

54
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: it's a damn good burger. I mean, PJ said Culver's

55
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: before he had all cheval was better. So it's all

56
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: subjective out here. I'm excited to let PJ Food and

57
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: fine dining critic out into the world. Over the next

58
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: couple of days.

59
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: We dripped out a clip of him taking mellort today

60
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 3: and there is many many more where that came from.

61
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: For the week, we sampling various food and drink around here. Well, anyways,

62
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 3: this is great, obviously a great turnout. We're I don't know,

63
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: humbled and honored to have everybody come out and hang

64
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: out with real life fans. Obviously, podcasting it's a different

65
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 3: kind of medium. Feel like we're talking to you and

66
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 3: with you, but never get to hang out. There is

67
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 3: a QR code behind us. I'm told to tell you

68
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 3: all about that. If you scan it, that opens up

69
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: the Q and A portion that we're going to do

70
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 3: at the end. We were just abating backstage that maybe

71
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: for the recording. Then it may not be for the

72
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 3: recording because there was a question about favorite unsubstantiated rumor,

73
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: which we might just tell you know.

74
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: You paid for the ticket. I think we're going to

75
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: do some and then stop the recording. So send in

76
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: your Q and A. There it seems like people the

77
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: unrecorded also important. Note you know with the Q and

78
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: A is you have to know the audience you're asking

79
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: the question to. You are asking the question to PJ.

80
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: So you know he is he is one that can

81
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: be swayed, and you know he's he's gonna be the

82
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: master of the questions. He's back there. You know he's

83
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: back there. He's gonna act like Gene's territor coming in

84
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: and now he's just in the booth. You won't see him,

85
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: but he will be on the mic going to the booth.

86
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: I'm over here. I'm good. Hopefully you provide more insight

87
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: than Jake, as you say, do.

88
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 5: I just have to agree with whatever call you made

89
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 5: on the field, even if it's horrifically wrong or like,

90
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 5: what's the deal on that.

91
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 3: We were a little late today because I came down

92
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 3: to get in the car and I was like, where's PJ.

93
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 3: He's like, well, he had to jump in the shower.

94
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 3: He got too sweaty at sluggers batty big, and so

95
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: I was like, we gotta go. He's like, I have

96
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 3: to take a quick shower. He did get sluggers a

97
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 3: little worse for the wear from the reports, I didn't

98
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: make it there. I had to go do something else.

99
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 3: But the reports are the PJS is a prolific hitter. Yeah,

100
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: I just we'll get to golf in a minute.

101
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: Here as usual. But like that is insane, he said,

102
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: there's no waiver. You're in Wrigleyville.

103
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 3: Everybody's presumably, you know, a little tipsy, and you're just

104
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 3: getting in this cage where it's coming to eighty five,

105
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: even fifty five.

106
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: That seems like just a liability issue. It's an insane

107
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: product to put in the bar. I mean, think about

108
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: it at three o'clock after a cup star. I don't

109
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: just asking for trouble. Anyways, Let's get to golf. We're

110
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: gonna talk a little bit of golf. We got Kevin

111
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: van Vaulkenberg coming in. Andy's got a great flashback. We

112
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: were just going through in the back prepping, you know,

113
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: the Chicago theme flashback Friday. So should have a bunch

114
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: of segments. But well, let's get to instant news. Pebble Beach.

115
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: You know, jordan' speat is back. I think is he bad?

116
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: T ten shout of sixty six?

117
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 3: He's better than Rory and Scotti, right, I mean, he's

118
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 3: low Texan on the board right now.

119
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask a question, should we be worried

120
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: about Scotty? Two slow starts in a row? Is it

121
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: time to sound the alarm? He did?

122
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 3: I mean, look, he didn't put great today like there was.

123
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 3: It was like that flashback to whatever that was twenty

124
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 3: twenty three, right where he was like, you know, eight

125
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 3: strokes better than everybody else, tea green, but it would

126
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: lose five and it was like you could see the

127
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 3: sort of narrative from the media start to come and

128
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 3: this is another three footer we're gonna hear about, you know,

129
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 3: are the putting woes back or the putting woes back?

130
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 3: But it was a good start to Pebble Beach. I

131
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 3: you know Rio, he sat sunny. You know, he's becoming

132
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 3: a favorite here, our guy.

133
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: That's why like Scott, he's you better better learn that

134
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: name because he's gonna come down to Medina and he's

135
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: gonna be like I Im Pulter twenty twelve, just stomping

136
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 1: on American's hearts.

137
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: He did say he's joking. Now he's a little personality

138
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 3: coming out. He joked today that Saki is in the

139
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 3: water bottle, So the personality is starting to come out.

140
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: For he shot sixty two, and I.

141
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: Would just say, you know, we talked about this on

142
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 3: Wednesday for serious for a minute, like Pebble Beach is

143
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 3: an improper test of professional golf, and we are wooed

144
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: by the ocean and we're wooed by the stillwater cove.

145
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 3: At this point, he lost strokes off the tee, lost

146
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 3: strokes approaching the green. Justin Ray said it was our

147
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 3: guy with the stats. So it's the first time in

148
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 3: like three hundred thousand recorded rounds where a guy shot

149
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: sixty two losing strokes. Now it wasn't a lot, it

150
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 3: was point three or whatever, and made up five on

151
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 3: the green first and second, it's been reduced to a

152
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 3: putting contest.

153
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: Well, you gotta also keep in mind strokes gained is

154
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: average is the average against the field, so you know

155
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: zero is your average. But I think the bigger thing

156
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: from it is it's the barometer of like hitting the

157
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: ball on the PGA tour is so high now and

158
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: it's become so you know, pretty easy to hit the ball. Well,

159
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: that you can hit the ball worse than your peers

160
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: and shoot sixty two. Granted, I think, like, you know,

161
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm not really a betting man, but we are a

162
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: gambling pot. You know, he made one hundred and eighty

163
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: feet of pot, so I might be fading that the

164
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,239
Speaker 1: rest of the there might be Aggressionssion Monster.

165
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I you know, I talked to Joseph a

166
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 3: little bit before we came on it, like what like

167
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: driving doesn't matter at all, and but like it feels

168
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 3: like approach play should matter it away. But you look

169
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 3: at the board and it's it's stilted a little bit,

170
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 3: with Spyglass being one, but but it's kind of a

171
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 3: similar a statistical profile. It's just you know it it

172
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: has developed into this like go out there and place

173
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 3: it in the middle of the fairway with whatever club

174
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 3: you can.

175
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: I did notice new tea box on six.

176
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 3: They made it, you know, this gargantuan you know, par five,

177
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 3: you know, taking it into the fourteenth pole, it's got

178
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: to hit three wood off the tee. Like it's not

179
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: necessarily there's no wind today, Yeah, I think, like, but

180
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: you think about the start at Pebble, and it's just

181
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 3: when they're gonna have the US Open next year, so

182
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 3: it'll be just kind of a dynamic you get used

183
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 3: to in the US Open. But one's a wedge in

184
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 3: in the at and T two's a short part five

185
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 3: that plays it a part four in the in the

186
00:08:59,080 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 3: US Open.

187
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: Three is a you know, like they hit a three

188
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: wood wedge. Four is a driveable par four. Five is

189
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,719
Speaker 1: a par three, you know obviously, and then six is

190
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: a short par five, and then seven to wedge. And

191
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: especially when it's like today with very little little wind,

192
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: it's like a pretty easy shot to hit. And and

193
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: so I think that's like the thing with Pebble. I mean,

194
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: obviously like eight, nine, ten or as much as anybody

195
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: can handle, but for the most most of that golf

196
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: course is gettable.

197
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, we we bang on the

198
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 3: rollback drum. But it's just like kind of disheartening to

199
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 3: see you can shoot sixty two and maybe be for

200
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 3: the average, you know, below your piers for the day.

201
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 3: And I don't know, it's developed into kind of like

202
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: did you putt well on Poeanna?

203
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: And we know that's unpredictable as it is. Rory struggled.

204
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 3: He had two like three putts for double bowies on

205
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 3: par threes, you know, missing three footer, his lips out

206
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 3: like things like that.

207
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: It's just I don't know. It was sort of laid

208
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: bare again on a calm day with soft greens. It

209
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: was a great day for the PGA tour ai bot

210
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: right up, particle, you know, he sat soon, he puts

211
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: puts his way to sixty two.

212
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 3: It was pretty benign and easy out there. But the

213
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 3: Fair police did show up and complain about mudballs on

214
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 3: number two.

215
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: We did get it.

216
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 3: We did get in an allegation of a giant chunk

217
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 3: of mud by Scottie Shuffler, and that's probably why he

218
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 3: shot seventy two.

219
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: Even part it's t sixty something. I mean, it didn't

220
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: didn't stop the deputy.

221
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: Are you going to the we'll talk about five strokes

222
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: gain on the on the greens and all that. So

223
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 3: the deputy Stam's up there. Most importantly, though, Jordan Speed

224
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 3: is t ten. You know you've been we started a

225
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 3: day and you're like, should we do.

226
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: A segment tonight? Like, is what was the segment? Is

227
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: Rio's he saw soony better than Jordan Speed? What was

228
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: the segment? See Kim seawoo.

229
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 3: Kim like yeah, on this very day after the last month,

230
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 3: he is, But did Jordan Speed kind of jam it

231
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 3: back in your face today with the sixty six six under.

232
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: I just wanted to come. I wanted to look, can

233
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: see see what my friend speath legion And the most

234
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 1: recent tweet from speed Legion is wow. It makes it

235
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: huge momentum into tomorrow. A minus six sixty six for

236
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: Jordan Speed and then about fifteen exclamation marks, so it

237
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: seems like Speed legions off the ledge. It's it's I mean,

238
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: that's a nihilistic tracker account. You know.

239
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 3: He's like starts questioning like what is God dead? When

240
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 3: like there's a bogie or something like that. So that's

241
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,599
Speaker 3: good to seize back up those spirits are lifted to

242
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 3: listen the.

243
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: Thing with Jordan and this is this has been the

244
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: we need to see something for sustained period. You know,

245
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 1: it can't be just a weekend, it can't be around

246
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: you know. That's I think that's where the bit of

247
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: he's just a guy, which isn't a bit, it's a

248
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: real thing, but that's where it came from. It's like

249
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: the glazing of like, oh, he shot a sixty three

250
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: on Saturday, he's back, and it's like and then he

251
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: shoots seventy four on Sunday, but everybody runs to he's back,

252
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: and I would just say, let's see it for four.

253
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 3: Round game within the game, because you know there's a

254
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 3: lot of there's a whole Jordan Speed industrial complex that's

255
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 3: hyping him up. Like you're talking about the third sixty three.

256
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 3: PGA Tour Comms. Of course, carrying water is like eight.

257
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: They preface it with AT and T Ambassador Jordan Speed

258
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 3: shoots sixty six and all that they'd want to do

259
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 3: is is our our favorite guy Wyndham Clark. I now

260
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 3: hope T mobile he wears the T Mobile had Now

261
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 3: I want Wyndam Clark to win. So so PGA Tour

262
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 3: Comps has to say T Mobile Ambassador wins the AT

263
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 3: and T pro am Pebble Beach pro.

264
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: We need the We need the weather to get worse.

265
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: It's good be supposed to get worse. Pea great carry

266
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: carrier Wars would be incredible. We need some Verieton sponsored

267
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: players out there. Uh, where are you with the Spyglass

268
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: Pebble split. It's obviously an embarrassment of Richard Riches up there,

269
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: But is there anything like would you now that they've

270
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: reduced it to two venues with Pebble doing sony five

271
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: percent of the event, is there any way? Like obviously

272
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: everybody says, oh Cypress.

273
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 3: If you get to see Cypress back on the PGA tour,

274
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 3: would you like to see it rotate at all between

275
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 3: Pebble and a second course? Or do you just feel

276
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 3: like they've found some stasis with this event and keep

277
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 3: it at Spyglass.

278
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: I think you just keep it this way. Obviously you

279
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: love to see Cypress, but like, are we being serious?

280
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: Like everybody that says, oh, I'd love to see Cypress,

281
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 1: It's like, so you picked you pick February to have

282
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: an event at Cypress. Why don't you pick like September

283
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,599
Speaker 1: or October and have a really cool, unique, you know

284
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: event at Cypress. Don't waste it in February when it

285
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: rains a lot in California in the winter. You want

286
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: to show these courses when it's when they're at its best.

287
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,599
Speaker 1: And I think that's an interesting thing with like the

288
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: future of the schedule where it's going is does Pebble Beach,

289
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, one of the crown jewels of the PGA

290
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: tour schedule, Riviera another one? Do you keep them in

291
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: this part of the year where it's the worst time

292
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: of the year to host in California. You think about, like,

293
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: I think probably the majority of the people in here

294
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: and the majority of the listeners are like people with lives, right,

295
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: and you think about in the summer you're running around,

296
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: did pay like an extraordinary amount of fees to come

297
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: to a podcast on a Thursday night. I don't know

298
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: I disparage anybody. We're very appreciative, but you think about,

299
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: like the ideal setup here with these events is like

300
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: the ideal setup for this is it's it's the middle

301
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: of the summer, the days are really long, and it's

302
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: ten pm on the East coast nine pm in Central time,

303
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: and they're coming down the stretch of these iconic golf courses,

304
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: with the golf courses playing fiery and firm, that that's

305
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: what you want. You don't we don't go to We

306
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: don't watch Wimbledon in the middle of winter, you know,

307
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: like where the grass surfaces are just sponges.

308
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's playable, and not many places in America

309
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 3: are so with the scarcity, schedule your city schedule like

310
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 3: mild mild rumblings about it going to August, right, maybe

311
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 3: Pebble goes to August at some point, or do you

312
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 3: take playoffs to a pebble like.

313
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: Some rumblings of that. Yeah, lots of lots of rumblings.

314
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: I would love to just kind.

315
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 3: Of schedule to kind of fully, you know, delegitimize the playoffs,

316
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 3: to keep it as a pro am to keep the

317
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,119
Speaker 3: celebrities there, to make Pebble playoff event, but also.

318
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: Keep the pro and you know, tradition has to stay.

319
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: You know, you got Bill Murray or whoever out there

320
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: and extended out, get him back on the weekend for

321
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: three days. I think, you know, I think the celebrities

322
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: should unionize like the mules have. There should be a

323
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: memo that goes around Larry the Cable Guy could draft

324
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: it with. You know, we the celebrities are very disappointed

325
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: in the scarcities. Go but we used to have two rounds.

326
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: I want my three rounds back. You know, you're taking

327
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: our benefits away. Anything else on pebble jump out to you.

328
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: It's just easy, easy day. I mean, it's it's still

329
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: a delight to watch this. This isn't TPC Craig Ranch.

330
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: You know, we gotta be careful. There's nothing better than

331
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: go off with the ocean. And I do think there

332
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: are some unique challenges out there, like if you if

333
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: you play out there, I mean you get on nine

334
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: and ten in the slope in the fair way is

335
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: so severe. You're just like standing over the ball and

336
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: you're kind of like, I don't know if I can

337
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: hit this ball. Yeah, you know, so I think there's

338
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: some redeeming qualities. It just with a rain. It's a bummer.

339
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: It rained because it was it was dry all all January. Yep, yep.

340
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: On to the next Let's let's talk about some action.

341
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: I know you prepared. I was right. I wanted to

342
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: talk about the ass Oh I thought you wanted to do.

343
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: You want to do the how about that. They just

344
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: dispatched our guy to Buna, Michael Buna. You know, they

345
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: did all that scouting of the Philippines tour, Dustin Johnson did,

346
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: and then they just got him out. He's gone.

347
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 3: AK is in Anthony Kim And I loved they asked

348
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 3: Dustin Johnson, you know, as if he's whoever you know,

349
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 3: Ryan Poles or Rod Thorn or hm GM out there.

350
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: Uh you know what you see in a k he goes.

351
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 3: You know, I've been following his progression like he's DJ

352
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 3: of them, like we've watched his progression. Obviously he's come back.

353
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 3: He's playing better, like like he has been scouting him

354
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 3: for the passion DJ. They said, Anthony Kim's on your team,

355
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 3: and he's like, okay, all right, and.

356
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: That's what happened. That's what happened. But he's shot. He's

357
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: T three.

358
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 3: There's only two guys who shot better, rom Or Bryson

359
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 3: and the the the Batsman Miguel.

360
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: Mark Leishman, not Michuel Tabun. Mark Leishman. Tabuna is a

361
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: back to wild card. Unfortunately he's not on a team.

362
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: He is a free agent. He's a T ten. You

363
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: know in there he's pissed. Okay, Yeah, I mean it's

364
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: super impressive with aktly is if he were to like

365
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: have some sort of win or a flurry of high finishes,

366
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: it's it's one of the great comebacks, honestly, Like it's

367
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: completely inconceivable, like take ten years off of competitive golf

368
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: and then come back and play at a semi elite level.

369
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 3: I would put like the percentage chance of it happening

370
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 3: at like five. But if he like played a major

371
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 3: like somehow this year or in any time next year,

372
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 3: I think that would be like the story of the year. Right,

373
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 3: you didn't open your water bottle before he came. You

374
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 3: go to You don't only have one hand.

375
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: I usually have like a big water it's an open jar.

376
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,719
Speaker 3: What if we saw him at a mate, is there

377
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 3: any like a five percent chance like we have o

378
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 3: W gr points now, that would be it's won the

379
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 3: game one day.

380
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: I would say that what I'm looking forward to is

381
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: him to get into one, but then the three majors

382
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: before he gets in, all the complaints that he's not in.

383
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, the grievance merchants, Yeah, that's what I'm looking for. Yeah, yeah,

384
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 3: I uh, who needs to delete their Twitter account more

385
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 3: him or Phil. They're both very active right now.

386
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: I mean I feel like Phil just from like a sheer,

387
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: like I was advising him. Legally, we might I'm not

388
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm not a lawyer, yeah, but I might be like, hey,

389
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: we need to delete all of this right now.

390
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 3: And you mentioned, yeah, the document production on that one

391
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 3: to be a lot of pages. Anything else from Live

392
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 3: Adelaide before we get into some other I know you

393
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 3: prepared a lot of notes on the piss I mean internationally,

394
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 3: I know you were ready to talk about that.

395
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: Did you see the ratings ratings for what Live Rio

396
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: twenty two thousand twenty were piddling? Yeah, I mean, and

397
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: that's all you know, Fox FS one, it's not good.

398
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: I can't remember who I was talking to, even PJ.

399
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: PJ Pipe ten. We were talking about the ratings earlier

400
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: this week. What did you say about it? Though? On

401
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: the flip side of the of the ratings being bad, I.

402
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 5: Send more people watch the Saturday Ryder Cup live show

403
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 5: on YouTube than the average.

404
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: I was going with, you know, the lasers and everything cool.

405
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,239
Speaker 5: You were going that way, The lasers are great. I mean,

406
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 5: you're just up at two am looking for something to do.

407
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 5: Adrian Moruntz hitting with a robot behind them.

408
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, what are we doing here? Pretty

409
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: It's been fun, you know how the city's changed since

410
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: I've been gone. The robot delivery little carts that run

411
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: around the city and getting people's way in the in

412
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: the in the walkways, and they're just rumbling down the sidewalk.

413
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: They're hilarious.

414
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 3: It's I encountered those for the first time last week

415
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 3: in Miami, and they're everywhere all over Miami. And the

416
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 3: guy's like they've been here for five years.

417
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know.

418
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 3: I guess I just live like in Siberia. I've never

419
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 3: seen him, and now I get it two weeks in

420
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 3: a row. I just I I mean, I'm sure there's

421
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 3: some legal rabbit ramifications, but I would be so tempted

422
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 3: to just like kick that thing or push it over

423
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 3: right when you're out into that bar and you like

424
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 3: see that thing when you're twenties, you'd be like trying

425
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 3: to tackle it, you know, kick that would be that'd

426
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 3: be just a sitting duck.

427
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you get in trouble. I mean, like

428
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: I think about college. I had a friend that you know,

429
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: he'd leave a bar, you know, late at night, and

430
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: he'd roll dumpsters out into streets. You know, like if

431
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 1: he saw that thing coming down the street, that thing

432
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: would be, you know, shipped out to onto Green Street.

433
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 3: Nothing else, nothing else notable from live Adelaide. I mean,

434
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 3: I don't know if any of the stuff we talked

435
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 3: about already was notable.

436
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: But there was a top. Bryson is leading, but he

437
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: topped like cold.

438
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 3: Topped the ball like a grounder that like, you know

439
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 3: I would hit out there at whatever it is, Adelaide,

440
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 3: and you had a conspiracy theory.

441
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, when I saw the headline, I can see the

442
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: YouTube video. You won't believe that I topped a drive

443
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: at a live event coming out, So you think it

444
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: was an on purpose top for content for attention. I'm

445
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: not saying it was on purpose. I'm not I'm saying

446
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: it's it's not impossible.

447
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 3: I mean, all those guys can, a lot of them

448
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 3: can hit tops on command right and purpose.

449
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,719
Speaker 1: Michael Kim can actively like move a ball, he can

450
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: swing full speed. I believe he did this on We

451
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: brought this up on a pod a couple of years ago,

452
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: and he made a video of doing it. But he

453
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: can like hit the top of the ball and have

454
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: it roll like three inches, full speeds, full speed swing.

455
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 1: The best story about that was was Sahith Right in college,

456
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: he would be at the end of the range or

457
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: junior golf, maybe not college, maybe both, he would start

458
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: intentionally shanking balls, like on command. He could just shank him,

459
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 1: like sending him down the range, kind of like you're

460
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: hustling at guy and pool right, like, oh, I'm terrible

461
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: at this game. And then everybody on the range and

462
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: then he goes out and he just work everybody over.

463
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: It's amazing with that. So you think he topped it

464
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: on purpose? Uh yeah, yeah, No, I don't think that.

465
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: Maybe think of sports. Sportsmit it here a diversion. I

466
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: have a buddy who pitched at Cal and he was

467
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: telling me that, you know, this was pre like Internet, Twitter,

468
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: social media days. They were he was you know, he

469
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: was a pitcher, and they kept seeing the Pac ten

470
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: standings in there and there at the top. You know,

471
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: all the stats are breaking out and they're like, who

472
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: is this Tim mellinsekin kid. You know he's striking out.

473
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: You know, he's like triple the strikeouts of the next

474
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: picture and They're like, God, this guy must be a beast.

475
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: And they apparently went up to play him and they

476
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: he walked out onto the mound and they're like, the

477
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: kid looks like he's twelve, you know, and then he

478
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: and then he's like and then he struck out thirteen. Yeah,

479
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: that's like saha, you know, shanking balls and then probably

480
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: hanging a sixty six in high school golf.

481
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 3: All right, that's enough, live Adelaide. Enough Pebble Beach. Big

482
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,479
Speaker 3: news of the day we were alerted to this morning. Uh,

483
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 3: there's an individual I know PJ is not up to

484
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 3: speed on this. There's an individual at the Chubb Classic

485
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 3: who Monday qualified by the name of Andrew Johnson.

486
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: And apparently there was a lot of confusion down there.

487
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: Is this the Andy Johnson. Andrew Johnson multiple texts about

488
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: this today.

489
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 3: I didn't even know there's still Monday qualifying on the

490
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 3: Champions Tour, if I'm being honest. But Andrew Johnson is

491
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 3: through and he'll play the Chubb Class.

492
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: One of my good friends lives in Naples and and

493
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: he sent me a text message He's like, are you

494
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: out here? I see a cart with Andrew Johnson on it.

495
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: Are you are you out here? I also, like have

496
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: a lot of questions about him being out at the

497
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: Chubb Classic on a Thursday morning.

498
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 3: What I want to know is if the other course

499
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 3: at tib you're on is taking tea times while the

500
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 3: seniors play the That's always a favorite.

501
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: I'll check in with him. He's a Tiberon member. All right,

502
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: there we go.

503
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 3: We'll have an update on Monday. Let's get to news

504
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 3: real quick. Since we last recorded, Rory spoke for his

505
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 3: first PGA Tour event of the year. Spoke push back.

506
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 3: I guess on the marketing campaign that the Players is

507
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 3: a major, but it was a deaf touch, you know

508
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 3: that Rory, he played the you know, you know, threaded

509
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 3: the needle said, it's not a major.

510
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: We need to not like it. Just let it be.

511
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: It is what it is.

512
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 3: But it has a better identity than the PGA Championship.

513
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 3: I think I would kind of agree with that. But

514
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 3: let's stop the nonsense of like it is a major.

515
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's definitely had a better ten year run

516
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 1: than the PGA.

517
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 3: I'd have to look, I'd have to check the check

518
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 3: the history, but I mean Brooks has been pretty good

519
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 3: at the PGA.

520
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: Don Reyes, Don his muzzle, Don his muzzle.

521
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 4: I don't know.

522
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 1: We weren't going to go to the PGA, but now

523
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: we might just so we can get Don out there.

524
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: I yeah, I've been. I've put a request in with

525
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: Lunch with the Boys.

526
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 3: So he also said, speaking of the PGA, and it's

527
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 3: like kind of search for identity that it has to

528
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 3: go back to August. Even invoked you know the favorite tagline,

529
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 3: the branding that's stuck forever for all the wrong reasons,

530
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 3: Glory's last shot, and he's like, it's got to go

531
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 3: back to August. Do you feel like this is the

532
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 3: move we're talking about scar scarcity, schedule and things moving around.

533
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 3: Do you feel are you on board with that move

534
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 3: to August?

535
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,719
Speaker 1: I think so. I mean I think everybody looks at

536
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: the calendar now and it's it's you know, you blink,

537
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: don't blink live as Live would say, but you blink

538
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: and major seasons over just the run of it. I

539
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: think it provides a lot better cadence. I think one

540
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: of the things with it moving to May. And as

541
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: a traditionalist, you just loved the Masters having that like

542
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: kind of like six to eight weeks to breathe. And

543
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: then you go to the US Open, and I think,

544
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: like it's a way better slot for the PGA. I mean,

545
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: you're in the PGA in May, you're going up against

546
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: obviously baseball tummon starting up. You know, you have the

547
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: NBA Playoffs, you have the NHL Playoffs, and then you

548
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: know in August, it's like you got the dog Days

549
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: of August. Who doesn't remember that as a kid, It's

550
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: like nothing's on TV. And if you if you move

551
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 1: the PGA to August, they also get so much better venues.

552
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: You know, you get the ability to come to Chicago

553
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Madna number three, Olympia Fields are

554
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: in the mix. You got Aaron Hills and Whistling Straits

555
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: that are kind of never gonna host probably another US Open.

556
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: And then you you get opened up Chambers Bay. Obviously

557
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: the PGA is going to Olympic Club, but that would

558
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,479
Speaker 1: be a lot better event in primetime in August than

559
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: in May.

560
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 3: All politics is local. Move to PG to May so

561
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 3: and come back to Chicago. I'm glad you're you're playing

562
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 3: to the crowd right now.

563
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: Now, This is this the city deserves major champion. It

564
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: is it is we have, we have some good flashbacks coming.

565
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: I mean, golf like literally started here in America. I've

566
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: I've learned that, I've learned that it should be a

567
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: place that hosts major champ It's kind of nuts that,

568
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: Like we did some interviews this week with historians that

569
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: you know, you just start at default to whatever long Island,

570
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: New England, New York, like, oh, by the way, no,

571
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: it's started west, and then those guys work their way

572
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: so all the best trends start and to the coast.

573
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 3: All right, what would how would you actually like just

574
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 3: off the top of your head execute a PJA with

575
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 3: like some scarcely schedule you're in charge, like playoffs and

576
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 3: August tenth and the PGAs.

577
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: What about no playoffs? I mean you can take that

578
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,959
Speaker 1: up with FedEx, but it feels like that's not going

579
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: to happen. Number one is restore the Western Open. All right,

580
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: you are just you're like Bryson right now, just playing

581
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: whatever whatever the crowd. I would say that I would

582
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: if I sat down with Brian Roll, if I'd say,

583
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: the first thing you need to do is restore the

584
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: Western Open. Yep, uh, yeah, it's restore the Western Open

585
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: and then have like I think, like a season ending

586
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: tournament makes sense where it's this really small field, these are.

587
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 3: The best of the best, and this is it, and

588
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 3: then PGA sometime between whatever August tenth and Labor Day

589
00:28:58,680 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 3: somewhere in there.

590
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: I think the other thing with like if you had

591
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: this small tournament is we're seeing it now with the

592
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: you know the way it just getting a little bit

593
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: more cutthroat. Guys are playing the John Deere, they're playing

594
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: the window. More and more guys are doing that because

595
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: they need the points. If you had like a closing

596
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: event that was you know, the top thirty players, top

597
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: twenty players, whatever it may be, you would see so

598
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: many big time names playing at the end of the year. Yeah,

599
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: it'd be great. I mean, I think August is still

600
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: a dead zone.

601
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 3: You can capitalize on it, but just capitalize with the

602
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 3: real major not you know, thirty guys and the staggered

603
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 3: start leader board and stuff like that.

604
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: You have a real golf of them, then there is

605
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: a chance. Let's be real with like the the players

606
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: and the major push that they're making right now. They

607
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: hired a guy from the NFL who came in and

608
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: is like wait, wait a second, we don't own any

609
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: of the I would say six most important golf tournaments

610
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: if you include the Ryder Cup and the Olympics ahead

611
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: of the players. And it's like, well, we have to

612
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: like we have to just say this is a major and.

613
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 3: Took on investment from you know, a big uncle Steve

614
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 3: Cohne whatever, it's Pj's uncle, Steve Cohen, Arthur Blank, the

615
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 3: Fenway group, Like those guys seem to be you know

616
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 3: that they're trying to throw their weight around and speaking

617
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 3: of we have you know, are they really going there,

618
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 3: like are they declaring themselves a major? They have doubled down.

619
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 3: This is now from Front Office Sports. This is the

620
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 3: tournament director. Lee Smith, former closer for the Cubs. Legendary

621
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:36,719
Speaker 3: closer Lee Smith, down at the Players Championship said quote,

622
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 3: I hope you've noticed our use of the word that

623
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 3: we've somewhat shied away from over the last ten years.

624
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 3: Like we noticed that you've been following Brandle on the

625
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 3: discourse for the last week.

626
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: We all noticed.

627
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 3: This is a signal of the confidence momentum and the

628
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 3: offense that is coming out of our building these days.

629
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 3: So the drawbridge is down and they are charging out

630
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 3: these days. We're confident about the qualifications of the players

631
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 3: championship and we wanted to start a conversation and that

632
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 3: they have.

633
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: So that's ever battle there. Everybody knows. The most confident

634
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: people tell you exactly that they're good as you know.

635
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 3: Not speak softly and carry a big stick. Is just

636
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 3: you know, shout loudly and like maybe a fake major.

637
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: All right, that does it.

638
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 3: They're doubling down other news, last bit of news speaking

639
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 3: of a real major and someone who maybe wants to

640
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 3: stop it, you know, no longer contend it's a major.

641
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 3: Our old friend, ninety year old Gary Player, had some

642
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 3: thoughts about Augusta National apparently denied a request and we've

643
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 3: picked up some audio. I don't know how golf monthly,

644
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 3: but we picked up some audio of Gary Player.

645
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 4: I have been an ambassador for Augusta for all these years,

646
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 4: and yet they won't let me have one round of

647
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 4: golf in my life with my three grandsons. My grandsons

648
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 4: are dying to know about their grandfather's episodes on that

649
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 4: golf course. All the golf courses that have hosted the Open,

650
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 4: the US Open, and the PGA would oblige, but they

651
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 4: won't do it at Augusta.

652
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: It is just this current management there and these times

653
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: we live in. I accept it, but I accept it

654
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: with sadness pretty good. That's mombastic stuff.

655
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 3: Ah taking taking a run, taking a run at Augusta

656
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 3: management as if they you know, trum golf or something.

657
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 3: They got to kick them out and bring in a

658
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 3: new management company. But I think we have even more.

659
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: Do you think they're looking for new managers? I wanted

660
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: to tell mister Ridley, but I think we have even

661
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: more audio I guess. He continued on.

662
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 4: There are a lot of things that have made Augusta

663
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 4: what it is, but the part the Big Three Plaid

664
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 4: was prevalent part of my career. When I go there,

665
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 4: I feel like I'm walking onto a golf course in Heaven.

666
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 4: I tread very carefully, and I love Augusta so much,

667
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 4: but I don't like the rules. Bobby Jones was a

668
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 4: wonderful man and a wonderful asset to the tournament, as

669
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 4: was President eisen How and Clifford Roberts. Those three people

670
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 4: they basically made Augusta. And then Arnie and Jack and

671
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 4: I came along and we fought it out every year,

672
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 4: and then we made Augusta thanks to the coverage and

673
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 4: the publicity we generated. Whether the club likes to admit

674
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 4: it or not, they won't admit it, but we made Augusta.

675
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 3: So Gary Player claiming he made Augusta and has some

676
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 3: complaints about management.

677
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: I will say.

678
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 3: This has now become like you know, flowers blooming and

679
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 3: spraying and snow starting to melt, like this is an.

680
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: Annual thing with Gary Player. Now.

681
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 3: There was like, of course he wants to play with

682
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 3: this what he's asking for as an unaccompanied round at

683
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 3: Augusta National and they do that the Sunday before the Masters.

684
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 3: Gary obviously can probably get on there other times. But

685
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 3: if he has three grandsons and there's Gary that's unaccompanied,

686
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 3: there's no member there. I mean, I would you know,

687
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 3: Gary seems to want to tell his grandsons the stories

688
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 3: like he could walk. He could walk, like it does

689
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 3: it could the grandsons. The three grandsons play with the

690
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,959
Speaker 3: green jacket the member, right, But this is now an

691
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 3: annual tradition. There was like a march like a couple

692
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 3: of years ago where he rated the Master's four out

693
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 3: of four. Like the guy just goes into April guns

694
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 3: blazing every time now and this is like he's complained

695
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 3: about management.

696
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: And the best part about it is it will be

697
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: like Sunday afternoon and he's just strutting around out there.

698
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: That happened like he just like acts like nothing happened.

699
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: He's a true you know, I admire the takes that

700
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: come out and he walks around like completely oblivious that

701
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:32,439
Speaker 1: what he said.

702
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 3: And the best one, of course, was a couple of

703
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 3: years ago where you know, he's one of the very

704
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 3: few people alive who have the privilege to wear a

705
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 3: green jacket while he's on property, and he was wearing

706
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 3: like a Kansas City Royals blue blazer the whole week

707
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 3: he was out. Augusta just not interested in wearing the

708
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 3: green jacket. So he's back taking a run at management.

709
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 3: Then of course if you're not.

710
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: I mean one of the things that that past champion

711
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 1: guest has been a problem for Augusta, uh through the years. Yeah,

712
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: some pricey, pricey guest rounds you know where where maybe

713
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: somebody was making money off them.

714
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 3: So you get you get, you get around that Sunday

715
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 3: and you know, maybe maybe there's some dealings.

716
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 1: All there's a black market, a black market uh for

717
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: for that for those spots.

718
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 3: So yeah, the little pissantsa drive chip and putt get

719
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 3: out of the way, and then all the old timers

720
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 3: get to go play. And you know, maybe the old

721
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 3: timers are you know, you want to donate to the foundation.

722
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 3: My foundation will go Sunday. Maybe that's happening.

723
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: Who knows that. Of course Gary never did that. No,

724
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: definitely not that.

725
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 3: Of course, if you're new here, that was not actual

726
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,959
Speaker 3: audio of Gary Player. It is none other than Kevin

727
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 3: van Volkenberg who was in the shadows.

728
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 1: So we're going to bring him out.

729
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 3: We're obviously, uh privileged to be joined by Kevin van Valkenberg,

730
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 3: a proper real journalist, a legendary magazine writer. He's obviously

731
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 3: on the Friday team now and become a part of

732
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 3: Shotguns Start, and he's gonna join us tonight. Not just

733
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 3: to do Gary Player impressions. That was not in the plans.

734
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 3: We just those quotes the content gods delivered them this

735
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 3: morning to go through some sliding doors moments in golf.

736
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 3: This is a little segment we're gonna do for the

737
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 3: live audience.

738
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: What do we mean by this? What's a sliding door moment?

739
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 2: Well, Brennan, I'm sure that you remember the nineteen ninety

740
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 2: eight seminal film Sliding Doors starring Gwyneth Paltrow. In the film,

741
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 2: Gwenna's character runs to catch a train after work, and

742
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 2: in one scenario, she catches the train and she catches

743
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 2: her boyfriend cheating. She gets home to apartment, but then

744
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 2: the film imagines a second scenario where she misses the

745
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 2: train and everything is different. She misses out in her

746
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 2: boyfriend's infidelity and lots of things unfold in her life.

747
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 2: And I thought, you know, this movie had somewhat middling reviews,

748
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,439
Speaker 2: but it sort of lingered in popular culture, probably thanks

749
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 2: to Bill Simmons who referenced it all the time, and

750
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 2: it became known as Sliding Doors scenarios. And I thought, well,

751
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 2: what if one moment had just been different in golf?

752
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 2: How would that have changed history? And I thought we

753
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 2: could sort of reimagine some moments tonight and sort of

754
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 2: play them out scenario.

755
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: You guys have not seen this information. I think we're

756
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: probably going to get our ney to ten majors. We'll see,

757
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: we'll see there might be something of your interests here.

758
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: We'll see.

759
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 2: You know, perhaps you know I know we're not going

760
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 2: to go to the obvious ones here, like we're not

761
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 2: going to talk about Tom Watson, you know at Turnberry

762
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 2: or Phil Mickelson finding the fairway wing foot.

763
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we want to go with some are much

764
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: dumber and much of silar scenarios here. So I do

765
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:31,959
Speaker 1: want to start with Phil.

766
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 2: This is near to your heart, dear to your heart, Andy.

767
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 2: I want to begin here at the twenty ten Masters

768
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 2: and the moment when Lee Westwood started the day, Andy

769
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 2: beginning the final round of the Masters with a one

770
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 2: shot lead. He's still chasing that elusive major, and would

771
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 2: this be his day? The magic six could win live,

772
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 2: that could be the major. I know that you were

773
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 2: home somewhere in twenty ten, just shaking whoevering, being like,

774
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 2: this is my guy. Finally, by the time he and

775
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 2: Phil probably that's my guests after night at Lotties.

776
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:07,399
Speaker 1: I assume. Yeah.

777
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 2: By the time Phil and and Lee reached the thirteenth,

778
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 2: they both drove it in the trees. But Phil was

779
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 2: leading by two strokes.

780
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: In this moment, we all know he was everything.

781
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 2: Two strokes over Lee and one stroke over Anthony Kim. Surprisingly,

782
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 2: we all know what happened around, Anthony Kim made like

783
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 2: nine birdies or whatever. Correct, uh, you know, Westy had

784
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 2: to punch out from the trees, and Phil decided to

785
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 2: risk it all and we all seen it, you know,

786
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 2: hit it onto the green, of course, missed the putt,

787
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 2: but ended.

788
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: Up winning the Masters.

789
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 2: You know, It's not like these kind of gambles always

790
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 2: paid off for Phil in these kind of you know, majors.

791
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 2: In fact, I would argue that in majors they often

792
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 2: did not like that shit kind of went sideways. So

793
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 2: I wanted to to imagine an alternate universe where let's

794
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 2: say Phil's right foot slips in the pine straw and

795
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,800
Speaker 2: the ball ricochets off the tree and goes into Ray's.

796
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: Creek and he makes a triple bogie.

797
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 2: What if Lee Westwood makes birdie as he did, and

798
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 2: goes and makes another birdy on seventeen and pulls ahead

799
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 2: of Anthony Kim by a stroke, and look what would

800
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 2: have played out?

801
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: Andy, Our visual aids are slipping hair page, you got serator,

802
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:19,240
Speaker 1: get on it. I don't know if that would happened.

803
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he would have gotten up eighteen. Let's

804
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: just imagine that he did.

805
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 2: Phil would be so shaken by the idea that Lee

806
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 2: lest would become a major champion, that he would pull

807
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 2: on Michael Jordan and decide to take some time away

808
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 2: from golf and continue his dream of pitching and relief

809
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 2: for Major League Baseball. Meanwhile, Westy would be freed up

810
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 2: by the weight off his shoulders and win the twenty

811
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 2: thirteen Open Championship at Mirfield, which Michaelson, of course would.

812
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: Be absent from because he would have made the Astros.

813
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 2: Roster that year after striking out Oriels Chris Davis in

814
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 2: spring training.

815
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: Like you know, yeah, Wesley would have won the Masters.

816
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: That will it won too? That's great right there, right?

817
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 2: I don't know how this in the scenario? Will it

818
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 2: just as a race from existence? But Lest he would

819
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 2: have charged so Vic Michelson catches on with the Astros,

820
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 2: where he then becomes a part of the infamous Scignce

821
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 2: stealing campaign and ends up getting a lifetime suspension when

822
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 2: he brags about his role in it to reporter Jeff Passon,

823
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 2: and no one has swayed when he tries to claim

824
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 2: that his comments were off the record. Meanwhile, Westy, a

825
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 2: man who has famously never read a book, decides that

826
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 2: he wants to write a book, and in twenty fifteen

827
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 2: he reaches out to an enterprising young newsletter writer named

828
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 2: Andrew Johnson and asks him to help write this book.

829
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 2: It takes the two of them a decade to complete

830
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 2: the project, but in twenty twenty six their book A

831
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 2: Good Egg drops. Oh God, and now we have a

832
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 2: two time major champion, but still a captain of the majestics,

833
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 2: signing books for dozens of fans.

834
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: At the Rundle Ball in Adelaide, Australia. I like that one.

835
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,439
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah, slop up there. Oh, there's gonna be morey.

836
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: I slopped to come, Brendon, let's worry.

837
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 2: In our second scenario here, I want to take you

838
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 2: back to the twenty nineteen Masters, and we've all seen

839
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 2: the very famous picture of Tiger and Charlie hugging behind

840
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 2: the eighteenth green, one of the truly like iconic moments

841
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 2: in the history of golf. But I don't want to

842
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 2: take you there. I want to take you back a

843
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 2: little bit further, to a different moment on things. Something

844
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 2: could have been different on the Saturday round when Tiger

845
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 2: hit it into the left trees on fourteen sort of

846
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 2: over where the galley rope is. He ended up making

847
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 2: an incredible swing sort of a punch straw that ended

848
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 2: up about ten feet from the pin. But the most

849
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 2: memorable major of the last twenty years could have been

850
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 2: very different because an over zealous security guard came flying in,

851
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 2: tried to hold back the crowd, and slid into Tiger's leg.

852
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 2: As you can see in the image behind you.

853
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: This was Detective Gillis and the damaged pants before the

854
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: before it to be seen in Louisville the rest in

855
00:41:58,440 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: Scottish shop.

856
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 2: Of course, now Tiger turned out to be fine, all right.

857
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 2: He even made Bertie from that shot. But I want

858
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 2: to take you down an alternate history path here. What

859
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 2: if that security guard had been just a little more

860
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 2: reckless and had slid into Tiger and snapped his left leg.

861
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:14,720
Speaker 1: At the ankle.

862
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 2: Imagine what would have happened next. First of all, we

863
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 2: got to cut to commercial. But we came back from

864
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 2: commercial break. I suspect we'd been greeted with a very

865
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 2: tearful Justin Thomas crying in an interview with Faldo and Nance.

866
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 2: After refusing to be taken out on a stretcher, Tiger

867
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,800
Speaker 2: finally consents to letting Tony Fenow give him a piggyback

868
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 2: ride back to the clubhouse, and along the way, numerous

869
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 2: players line up under the umbrellas to give Tiger a

870
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 2: tearful salute.

871
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: As takes him to the ambulance.

872
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 2: What about the rest of the round, Well, I'm sure

873
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 2: President Trump would have hopped on Twitter to demand that

874
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 2: Fred Ridley declare Wood's the winner and cancel the rest

875
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 2: of the round.

876
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: And I think other people would have found out too.

877
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 2: But I imagine like Wye Yang would have jumped on

878
00:42:58,080 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 2: retweeted that even though PG and I looked it up,

879
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 2: he has tweeted since twenty fourteen.

880
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: I gotta think like other numerous luminaries would have been in.

881
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 2: There, like Shaq and Kim Kardashian and the official Chipotle

882
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 2: brand account and novelist Salmon Rushdie.

883
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: It would have been just like.

884
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 2: Twenty nine would have been great. But overnight, I'm imagining

885
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 2: that word would trickle out. The Tiger is contemplating having

886
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 2: his leg amputated and returning to compete in the third

887
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 2: round and play the final round with one of those

888
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 2: curve prosthetic legs like Oscar Pistorius.

889
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 1: Were Hey I slop.

890
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, agent Mark Steinberg refuses to shut down this rumor,

891
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 2: and in a Sunday morning text that ESPN's Bob Harrik says,

892
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 2: We're considering all of our options.

893
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 1: But in the end, the final round goes on without Woods.

894
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 2: Frankimin Molinari wins his green jacket, and four years later,

895
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 2: Billy Walters floats the idea that maybe Phil Mickelson might

896
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 2: have had something to do with this Tanya Harding Jeff

897
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:59,959
Speaker 2: Galully situation and hired this Pinkerton's security guard to slide

898
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 2: into Tiger's leg, but nothing can ever be proven. In

899
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, there'd be an oral history looking back

900
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 2: on the event. Five years later, Gary Player would be

901
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 2: interviewed by golf dot COM's Sean Zach asking how he

902
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 2: thinks the Master's handled things. I'm don't like to criticize

903
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,280
Speaker 2: the club, Player might say, but I think.

904
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 1: It's actually at Trevis Dy maybe the darkest day in America.

905
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 1: SIT's nine to eleven. It's funny because it's real. It

906
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: could be real. Yeah, it'd mean for.

907
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 2: Our third and final installment of Sliding Doors, I want

908
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 2: to take you back to the twenty twenty two PGA

909
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 2: Championship at Southern Hills. If you recall ESPN's Kevin van Volckberg,

910
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 2: who just returned to the Golf beat, happened to make

911
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 2: a surprise appearance on the Shotgun Start during that Thursday

912
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 2: morning round where he and his friends Brendan and Andy

913
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 2: rated what kind of cats various golfers should be categorized

914
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 2: as the segment was so outlandishly stupid yet entertaining that

915
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 2: a BBC reporter could be overheard in the segment spanging

916
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 2: on the glass yelling at Van Valkenberg to be cryet

917
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 2: right as he's describing the size of Patrick Cantley's pause

918
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 2: and comparing Xander Schaffey to mc scatcat in the Paula

919
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:24,240
Speaker 2: Abdul video. But the real story that week, of course,

920
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 2: was Chile's Medo Pereira. He's dominating the first three rounds

921
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 2: of the tournament and taking one stroke lead to the

922
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 2: eighteenth tee, only to make a double and miss out

923
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 2: on a playoff between Justin Thomas and Will Zelataurres.

924
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: And if you write, call Van Valkenberg.

925
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 2: He had written a column the night before suggesting that

926
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 2: Justin Thomas and Rory McElroy were not vicious lions but

927
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 2: instead timid housecats, and he spent the entire three hole

928
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 2: playoffs sweating through his shirt thinking about the maya culpa

929
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 2: he would have to offer if Thomas came back to

930
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 2: win just because he had made dumb jokes on the shotguns.

931
00:45:56,120 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 2: Start now in this final sliding doors, I'm not going

932
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 2: to give Meto back as major. He was always gonna

933
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 2: make double in that final hole. But what if we

934
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 2: reimagine a history or justin Thomas's drive on seventeen the

935
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 2: playoff deflected off Kevin Van Valckerberg's face, much the same

936
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 2: way that John Rahm hit a drive the bounced off

937
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 2: Sage Steele's face that same tournament, while Van Valgerberg was

938
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 2: standing greenside not paying attention, looking at his phone because

939
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,720
Speaker 2: he kept refreshing his Twitter mentions, reading various cat comments

940
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:31,760
Speaker 2: on shot from shotgun start listeners. After Thomas's ball bangs

941
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 2: off kvv's giant irish head and into the bunker, Will

942
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 2: Zalatorus is freed up and makes an eagle on the

943
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,959
Speaker 2: second playoff hole, then holds on to win his first

944
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 2: major championship. You can imagine Van Volckerberg bloodied and now

945
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 2: missing several teeth, might choose to heckle Justin Thomas on

946
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 2: his way to the player parking lot before he could

947
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 2: be arrested, screaming, what's up now?

948
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,479
Speaker 1: JT? Guess you really were a little kitten and fed?

949
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: This has been golf sliding doors ball.

950
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 6: That's good, looks good.

951
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: Hey, that's good. J T. Still at polo in that one.

952
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: That's good.

953
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 3: All right, that's great. That was good comedy. West he's

954
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 3: an author. You know, you're you're involving yourself in a

955
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 3: major championship round.

956
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: Westy's going to have a book, even though he's never

957
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: read one.

958
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 3: That would I would put money on that, probably on

959
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 3: the record saying I've never read a book. That's just

960
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 3: just something to be proud of. All right, that was

961
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,760
Speaker 3: fake history. Let's go to real history. And has prepared

962
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 3: a personal flashback Friday. I think you were attending you

963
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 3: attended this event.

964
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 1: It was formative. I believe I attended this event. We

965
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: believe it was the first golf tournament outside of the

966
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: You know, I went to Conway Farms US Junior. But

967
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 1: then I think we went to watch Tiger Woods in

968
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven.

969
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 3: At cog Hill a favorite segment for shotgunners. Here is

970
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 3: a flashback Friday.

971
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: So you got ninety seven the great Motorola Western Open.

972
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: This was before before they went to Silis. This was

973
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: this was the great times, the boom times with the

974
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: Western Open. I had a Motorola phone back at this time. Man. Yeah, yeah,

975
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 1: it was great, great tournament those days. This was before

976
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: Rees Jones got his hands on cock Hill. Things were

977
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 1: good in Chicago. Michael Jordan was winning championships. Uh, and

978
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: it was it was the booming sports sports town. You know,

979
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: the rhinestorfs hadn't crushed bulls and White Sox fans hearts

980
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: for you know, decades now. Uh it So, Tiger's coming.

981
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 1: This is first professional start at the Western Open nineteen

982
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:47,320
Speaker 1: ninety seven. In research, I found some interesting little Tiger facts.

983
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: Does anybody know the first golf tournament that Tiger played

984
00:48:51,040 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: in Chicago? Western Junior oh Man good Trivia So nineteen

985
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: ninety two Western Junior at Chicago Golf. He was the

986
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: heavy favorite at age sixteen. He made it to the

987
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: quarterfinals and he lost to a favorite of in out

988
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: an alternate, Ted Purdy. So Purty was was a senior.

989
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: You know, Tiger was sixteen, perty was a graduating senior

990
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: heading to the University of Arizona play golf. You know,

991
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: high hopes for Ted Purdy, you know, and you know,

992
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 1: a good career. He you know, just a bad end

993
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: with an out alternate. So ninety seven is his third

994
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:39,800
Speaker 1: start of the Western Open, first as a pro, and

995
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: he had made one of the two cuts that he

996
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: played at the Western Open as an amateur. A little

997
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 1: more Tiger history before this, he won one Western Am

998
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four, he beat Chris Riley two and one

999
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: at Point of Woods up up in southwest Michigan. He

1000
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,400
Speaker 1: didn't win in ninety three, ninety five, ninety t So,

1001
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:04,359
Speaker 1: you know, just a feather in the Western AM's cap. There,

1002
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 1: great greatest amateur tournament, wasn't it wasn't able to be

1003
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 1: pushed over by Tiger and win, you know, all those

1004
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 1: all those Ams. He couldn't win the Western Am as much.

1005
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 1: Probably a fact you don't remember. You know what cap

1006
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: he was wearing when he won the Western Am oh

1007
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 1: Well was Chief Flaho, Chief Lahu for reasons that remained unclear.

1008
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: He was wearing a Cleveland Indians hat when he won

1009
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: the Western Am nobody who seems to understand that, but

1010
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 1: Clevelanders remember it very fondly. I'm looking forward to the

1011
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 1: Instagram fashion influencers getting a hold of that. Yeah, yeah,

1012
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: they'll get back. So anyways, let's take it. Take it

1013
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,359
Speaker 1: back to his first win at in Chicago land as

1014
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 1: a pro at cog Hill. It was fourth of July

1015
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: weekend in nineteen ninety seven, three months after the Masters,

1016
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: and it is absolute tiger mania all around. So this

1017
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 1: is what Jack Nicholas said after the Masters. These this

1018
00:50:56,440 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: is all from Chicago Tribune articles. Mixture of Ed Sherman

1019
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: and Teddy greenside in articles. So Teddy, I know, nice

1020
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 1: to see you, Teddy. It's a Jane Bob Jones, isn't here.

1021
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 1: Nicholas said after the Masters. He could have saved the

1022
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 1: words he used for me for this young man, because

1023
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: he's certainly playing a game with which we're not familiar.

1024
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: So this is from the Tribune article. The next twenty

1025
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: to twenty five years will determine whether Woods can match

1026
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 1: Nicholas in the record books. The next two weeks, though,

1027
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: we'll provide Chicago golf fans with a rare, rare opportunity

1028
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,240
Speaker 1: a back to back, look at the game's greatest golfer

1029
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 1: ever and the one who is out to take his place.

1030
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 1: So that week, you know, the week before the Western Open,

1031
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 1: Olympia Fields was hosting the US Senior Open. So Jack

1032
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:50,840
Speaker 1: Arnie Trevino, Ray Floyd was, we're all in town. And

1033
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 1: then the next week like talk about a great back

1034
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: to back golf week and Western opens over the fourth

1035
00:51:56,719 --> 00:52:01,479
Speaker 1: of July weekend. Unfortunately, Jack Arney Trevino, I'm sure PJ

1036
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:06,919
Speaker 1: knows who won the won the right. No, I don't

1037
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: all right, I'm not alive. I was gonna say we

1038
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 1: you were definitely not alive this way. Oh, look at

1039
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 1: that Graham Marsh there we go, Jimmy Conners. Uh. So

1040
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: the Tribune article goes on, uh, this is like being

1041
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: handed a time capsule and a time machine at the

1042
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 1: same time. It's Babe Ruth coming to town for a series,

1043
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 1: and Hank Aaron for the next man O War running

1044
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: in the seventh race, and Secretariat running in the eighth.

1045
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: Joe Lewis boxing on the same card as Muhammad Ali.

1046
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 1: You know, just like an amazing time in Chicago.

1047
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 3: So and now now the Western opens at Caves Valley

1048
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 3: and Liberty Nation. You don't even get won get let

1049
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:47,959
Speaker 3: alone two in a row. Yeah, Belle Reeve.

1050
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 1: And I don't think there's any is bowling Brook back.

1051
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 1: We have living live bowling Brook. Yeah. Yeah, it's uh god,

1052
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 1: but yeah, ship golf. Now, let's see if they have

1053
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 1: that Jack and Tiger within ten days in Chicago. Nicholas

1054
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,360
Speaker 1: built a mountain of records, and now Woods wants to

1055
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 1: climb that mountain. If anybody's got a chance, he's probably

1056
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: got the best chance. Nicholas said, this is and it

1057
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: goes on to you know, going to what what Woods

1058
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:20,800
Speaker 1: is chasing, and they they laid out to beat Nicholas.

1059
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 1: So this is ninety seven. Woods would have to win

1060
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:26,800
Speaker 1: at least one major every year for nineteen years. So

1061
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:32,359
Speaker 1: you know what they're counting there, Oh the USSAM, that's right,

1062
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 1: usdam's are counting the players. Yeah, not the players. There

1063
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:39,879
Speaker 1: was no mention of the players. Actually, Nicholas was talking

1064
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:43,439
Speaker 1: about the masters. Uh you know, and when he knew

1065
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: Tiger was special, he said, I drove it around the corner.

1066
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: Tiger hit three wood to the right at least forty

1067
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 1: forty five yards behind me. He took out an iron

1068
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: and Arnie said he's laying up, and I said, no,

1069
00:53:55,600 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: he's not. Surprisingly, Gary Player wasn't part of the crew.

1070
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 1: Rnie Jack. I was locked out. I was tramped outside

1071
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:10,240
Speaker 1: the gates. They didn't invite me. Yes, after all, I've done.

1072
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 6: For the city of Chicago hosting the World Fare. I

1073
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:16,839
Speaker 6: caught that killer in the Rebel in the White City.

1074
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 6: I did everything for the city. I taught Luke Longley

1075
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:24,800
Speaker 6: how to throw the passes.

1076
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: Oh Man. So anyways, Paul Staikowski, who was in the

1077
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 1: mix of the ninety Masters, he kept a journal during

1078
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 1: the Masters. I didn't know this, did you know that?

1079
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 1: So he kept a journal during the Masters. In a diary,

1080
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 1: he wrote he was twenty seven at the time. He

1081
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 1: said the only positive he could find was that the

1082
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: respective golfer's ages, I'm six years older than him. That

1083
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: means I'll be on the Senior Tour six years before

1084
00:54:56,160 --> 00:55:02,279
Speaker 1: he's eligible. So in the lead up, in the lead up,

1085
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:07,320
Speaker 1: like Chicago, the Western opens legit worried like worried about attendance,

1086
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:12,240
Speaker 1: like they're talking about capping closing roads. They were worried

1087
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 1: they didn't have a part enough parking. And obviously the

1088
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:16,919
Speaker 1: cogs like a great place to host an event because

1089
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 1: you have so much parking available, and you know, there's

1090
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 1: not a ton out there, so it's like, you know,

1091
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 1: and they're estimating that as many as two hundred and

1092
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:28,359
Speaker 1: fifty thousand fans would come to the event that week.

1093
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,840
Speaker 1: So Tiger shows up, he wins by three, He beats

1094
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 1: Frank Novolo. It's his fifth win in less than a

1095
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 1: year since turning pro. And we'll get into the kind

1096
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,320
Speaker 1: of the gamer here and then we'll go to the

1097
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:46,760
Speaker 1: post mortem of this. So Ed Sherman, obviously great golf

1098
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 1: writer in Chicago, someone I grew grew up reading. The

1099
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: elderly man sitting in the folding chair craned his neck

1100
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 1: to get a better view. He looked old enough to

1101
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 1: have seen the great Bobby Jones in the nineteen twenties,

1102
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:01,359
Speaker 1: but in nineteen ninety seven he was there to catch

1103
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 1: a glimpse of the prodigy. Did Tiger birdie that last soul?

1104
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,759
Speaker 1: He asked, He's really something, isn't he? One fairway later,

1105
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 1: a three year old sat with his parents by the

1106
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 1: ropes while others walked by, but there was no reaction.

1107
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,760
Speaker 1: Suddenly he saw him and began and the jumping began.

1108
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:20,399
Speaker 1: There's Tiger, cried the boy, gesturing wildly with a finger.

1109
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 1: There's Tiger. There's Tiger from ages three to infinity. This

1110
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 1: is a Tiger Woods world, you know, just kind of

1111
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 1: like captures the moment of time in ninety seven, you know,

1112
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: every you know, it's part of my like what got

1113
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: me into golf so much was Tiger Woods. After he

1114
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: hit the second shot on the eighteenth hole, Tiger made

1115
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 1: me exploded. According to one of the marshalls, someone yell,

1116
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 1: they can't hold us back, and soon was was his

1117
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: army was filling up the fairway in the wake. So

1118
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's just like an Open Championship scene where

1119
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:55,280
Speaker 1: the you know they bowled over, or the Kiwa Major

1120
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 1: where we almost got you trampled.

1121
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:59,359
Speaker 3: Well, you were you in a thirst. Bucket kept walking

1122
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 3: out of the crowd into the camera. There's Phil and

1123
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 3: you know you want to Phil, I'll never forget the line.

1124
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 3: And then Andy like steps out ahead of the line

1125
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 3: and gets on cameras like, oh I'm in the way

1126
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 3: and runs back into the crowd.

1127
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: That was awful. I remember like going getting around one

1128
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: person and I looked and there and there's Phil right

1129
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 1: next to me in the camera point right. I mean,

1130
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 1: just turn around. It's lucky you didn't end up in

1131
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 1: the Epstein files. Interesting wrong place to be in that

1132
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 1: interesting enough.

1133
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 3: When you talked about the Open Championship scene, I was

1134
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 3: watching rewatching this. It's on YouTube Chicago and should watch.

1135
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:44,479
Speaker 3: It's like fifty two minutes. It's great, and uh, Nance goes,

1136
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 3: is this the scene we'll be watching in two weeks?

1137
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 3: So this is July fourth, and they're thinking, you know,

1138
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 3: it's just what we're gonna have at the Open when

1139
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 3: they do fill the fairways. It's they're just like a

1140
00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 3: gas that what's happening, you know, in a positive way.

1141
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 3: And it would be justin Leonard a truon two weeks later.

1142
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 3: Leonard like is nipping at Tiger's heels this day and

1143
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 3: he's like prominently in this video and they think it's Tiger.

1144
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: That Tiger's mess before the solid core ball room, just

1145
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 1: his career.

1146
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 3: I was going to ask you to get like orientals

1147
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 3: with the equipment this time of year or this time

1148
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 3: of age, but go ahead.

1149
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 1: You know. One of the things that the newspaper UH

1150
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 1: noted was just the scene in the collection of people.

1151
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't the typical golf crowd that the Western Open

1152
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 1: usually saw, different ages, different races, just a new era

1153
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 1: of golf that he brought in. Uh. Lauren Roberts wasn't

1154
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 1: so lucky. He got caught up in the crowd. He

1155
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 1: was playing with Tiger in the final group. He noted

1156
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 1: that he had to throw some bows to get through

1157
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, Sherman. Sherman, uh, you know,

1158
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 1: pointed out that Lauren was a big dude. He you know,

1159
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: six to two. Uh, you know, in another era, they

1160
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 1: might say that he was built like a linebacker. Boss

1161
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 1: of the boss all right, Uh, Tiger talking about you know,

1162
00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 1: just Chicago, right it It was great. I mean they

1163
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 1: were so so supportive. It was kind of deafening. You

1164
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 1: couldn't hear anything, and there was kind of a ringing

1165
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 1: in your ears. You know, this is a place that

1166
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 1: doesn't host pro golf anymore. Very cool. Sounds like it

1167
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 1: was the most electric crowd that he's ever been in

1168
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 1: front of. Frank Nobolo, who finished runner up, had incredible

1169
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 1: and obviously he's, you know, great golf commentator, great golf mind,

1170
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: but he kind of summed up Tiger and you know,

1171
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 1: I think like this kind of applies to Scotty and

1172
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 1: what he's doing right now, Nobolo and Tiger. Tiger has

1173
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 1: no battle scars. That that's what makes him so tough

1174
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 1: to beat the crowd, the media, everyone's putting the red

1175
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: carpet down. It's a tremendous situation to be in. It's

1176
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 1: a little like the sev Era. If Sevie needed an

1177
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 1: eagle on the last hole, he made an eagle. If

1178
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 1: he was four behind, he made four birdies in a row.

1179
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 1: And in this day, you know this day on Sunday

1180
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 1: there Leonard and Shane, Steve Lowry that's Jane are tied

1181
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 1: on the eleventh hole with Tiger. Tiger then goes to twelve.

1182
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 1: He burdies twelve, he buries three the next four and

1183
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 1: it just ends the tournament right there.

1184
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 3: It was watching it on fourteen. So he hits this

1185
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 3: apart three fourteen a cog and he hits like it.

1186
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 3: He's offline, he misses his mark, he's off the green.

1187
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 3: It takes a bounce off this hill and like rolls

1188
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 3: down to like a foot and this is this three

1189
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 3: birdy in a row streak, and he kind of did

1190
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 3: the Jordan. He's in that placket with the button he's

1191
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 3: got or the zipper shirt Nike shirt, no buttons on

1192
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 3: the placket. He does this like Jordan shrug like when

1193
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 3: he hit all the threes, He's just like laughing and

1194
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 3: sort of incredulous. It's like Tiger didn't need a break

1195
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:44,919
Speaker 3: and he gets it. Bounce off the hill, off the green,

1196
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 3: down to a foot and that that was the tournament.

1197
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 3: A couple odds and ends from the tournament. So he

1198
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 3: became the seventh golfer to win the Western am In

1199
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 3: the Western Open, he joined Chick Evans, Tom Weiscoff, Ben Crenshaw,

1200
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 3: Andy Bean, and Scott vd Plank. You know Andy Bean

1201
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 3: intros thing and deleted I think, yeah, Scott for playing

1202
01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:04,640
Speaker 3: amazing amateur career.

1203
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 1: At the end of this, you know, Earle was never

1204
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 1: you know, shy with the reporters. He was lamenting setting

1205
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 1: up a bad schedule for Tiger, which had him play

1206
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 1: five times in six weeks, you know, and there's you know,

1207
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 1: it was interesting we talked about, like, you know, what's

1208
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 1: wrong with Scottie Scheffler as a joke. At the beginning,

1209
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 1: there was like a you know, after the US Open,

1210
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 1: what's wrong with Tiger, you know, is Tiger okay? I

1211
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 1: feel like that progress like went for the next you know,

1212
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 1: ten years of his career. If he didn't win, it

1213
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:35,600
Speaker 1: was like, what's wrong with him? And then the other

1214
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 1: big thing from this week and kind of kind of

1215
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 1: a sad I guess a sad sliding doors moment if

1216
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 1: we think about the other way. There was a ton

1217
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 1: of buzz about cog Hill getting a US Open this week.

1218
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 1: Beth Page had just been awarded the two thousand and

1219
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:54,840
Speaker 1: two US Open. They thought they might get that US Open.

1220
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 1: The Jemsic family was really bummed out about that, but they,

1221
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 1: you know, they said, we're gonna keep fighting. We're going

1222
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 1: to get this. Tiger said, you know, and this might

1223
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 1: have been the nail in the coffin because Stricker. Stricker

1224
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,439
Speaker 1: was like, this is a US Open course. Layman said,

1225
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 1: you just have to grow the rough up and and

1226
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 1: you know, Watson says it's not as demanding as congressional,

1227
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 1: but you know, he didn't disagree they could host a

1228
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 1: US Open. Tiger comes in, he says, no, this is

1229
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 1: not a US Open course. No, no, I think the

1230
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 1: greens are just too big, and I don't think the

1231
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 1: slopes are severe enough for an open? You know what

1232
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 1: that what that is? That's Reese Jones music. And we've

1233
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 1: never had our golf course that we once had, so

1234
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: thank you Tiger for that. Anybody want to venture a

1235
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 1: guest on how much Tiger won for his nineteen ninety

1236
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 1: seven Western Open win, Like I was just say, three

1237
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty thousand dollars, So things have changed just

1238
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:04,320
Speaker 1: a This was for a Barry cronin article Tiger prolific

Speaker 1: two professional events in Chicago, which comes out to eight

1241
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 1: and a half percent of his wins. Two majors at

1242
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 1: Madina obviously, in five Western Opens at cog Hill, and

1243
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: you know this just kind of scene of ninety seven

1244
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 1: with mixed with Jordan and the bulls. There was just

1245
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about like, you know, Tiger coming

1246
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 1: in and you know, kind of filling that Jordan, you know,

1247
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 1: role of golf and just a great, great time in

1248
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: Chicago and in the golf world. So there you go,

1249
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 1: ninety seven Western Open. Love it. That's good. One one

1250
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 1: note that's good.

1251
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 3: From the video by watching nance and he's talking about that.

1252
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 3: We'll see this in two weeks, he's walking up eighteen.

1253
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:53,360
Speaker 1: He's gonna win.

1254
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 3: He goes Michael Jordan says, he idolizes only one athlete

1255
01:03:57,440 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 3: and it's Tiger. He's the only athlete he had. And

1256
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan, this is nineteen ninety seven. This is not

1257
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 3: this is a junior someone junior. I don't think I

1258
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:09,600
Speaker 3: think that He responds that they're such good friends. I

1259
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 3: think that sort of dissipated post fire hydrant and stuff

1260
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 3: like that, he and mj But it was interesting to

1261
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 3: hear in nineteen ninety seven, like Tiger is the only

1262
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 3: athlete that Michael Jordan idolizes.

1263
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 1: So I thought that was pretty cool. This is right

1264
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 1: around the time that like Jeter and Jordan took him

1265
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 1: out to I don't know, something like that. But and

1266
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:30,240
Speaker 1: I'm sistant she had rumors.

1267
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 2: Now, no, that's that's that's in like several magazine articles

1268
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:37,040

1280
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 1: let's get onto the next quick segment. We're just gonna

1281
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 1: do whatever.

1282
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 3: We're like eight years into this experiment, just for the

1283
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:21,480
Speaker 3: audience here, Like, what are some of our favorite SGS moments,

1284
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:24,520
Speaker 3: favorite SGS maybe stories we haven't told. We'll be quick

1285
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 3: with this, rip through it. I think we've never shared

1286
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 3: this before. So in the first like two months of

1287
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 3: our podcast, we didn't know what we were going to

1288
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 3: do with it. We didn't know who would listen, We

1289
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 3: didn't know what like guests would come. So we thought

1290
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 3: we would do guests on Friday. And then when the

1291
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 3: USGA reached out or on behalf of someone on the

1292
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 3: USGA reached out to us to give a little juice

1293
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 3: to the US Senior Women's Open a first Chicago golf club,

1294
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 3: they said, we'd like, why you know, you guys have

1295
01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:57,640
Speaker 3: this podcast. Probably no one's listening, but you know, let's

1296
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,840
Speaker 3: get get some juice going. So would you like to

1297
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:04,880
Speaker 3: interview Laura Davies. So for the first like two years

1298
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:07,960
Speaker 3: of this podcast, we made reference this interview in reference

1299
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:10,920
Speaker 3: only because we did thirty minutes with Laura Davies. It

1300
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 3: was awesome, telling great stories. She's obviously got you know,

1301
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 3: a lot of color, and she was a great storyteller.

1302
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:20,439
Speaker 3: And she gets off and she's so great and she goes,

1303
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 3: she leaves the zoom or whatever it is, and Andy

1304
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 3: looks at me, he goes, I forgot to hit record.

1305
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:33,240
Speaker 3: It was such it was a gold and like this

1306
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 3: was early on and we're like, are we even a

1307
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 3: real thing?

1308
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 1: And like who cares about them? And then so then

1309
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 1: it's like Dame Laura Davies thirty minutes of her time

1310
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 1: in the USG's like, where's that interview? What's going on?

1311
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 1: When's this episode coming? Well, we forgot to hit record.

1312
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 1: Do not tell her that, and just she doesn't know

1313
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 1: who we are, that what exists, Like she's not gonna

1314
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 1: go looking for the RSS feed or anything like that.

1315
01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:58,320
Speaker 1: Just don't tell her. But that was an early favorite

1316
01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:00,320
Speaker 1: moment of mine. You know, I never I don't think

1317
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 1: I've told you this. You know, a few years ago,

1318
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 1: I saw Laura Davies at Augusta. Oh you did, and

1319
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,280
Speaker 1: I wanted up to her and I said, hey, you

1320
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:10,880
Speaker 1: know we interviewed two years ago. And she just looked

1321
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 1: at me like with like a blank stare. And I

1322
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 1: just was like, all right, turn around, walked away. Are

1323
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 1: you the lad who forgot to hit record? I don't

1324
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 1: think she ever thought about us again after she got

1325
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:27,200
Speaker 1: off that zoom. That's for sure one of my favorite

1326
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 1: momas we did. I was on a long trip. I

1327
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 1: can't remember what we were doing, but I remember we

1328
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:38,920
Speaker 1: had just checked into Lancaster, Pennsylvania Airbnb and it had

1329
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 1: been like I was, I was on my last legs dying.

1330
01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 1: And we recorded, you know, we summoned energy, recorded this

1331
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 1: shotgun start and it you know, it had to be

1332
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 1: ten thirty on Sunday night, eleven at night when we finish.

1333
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 1: Once again, I forgot to hit record. Brendan was remote

1334
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 1: and I had I we finished recording, and I said, uh,

1335
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't hit record, and what did we do?

1336
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 1: We had to just reenact, and I gotta tell you

1337
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 1: there's like a cruel thing about redoing a pod when

1338
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 1: you forget to hit record. You know what the other

1339
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 1: person's gonna say. You talked about it already, and you

1340
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:24,200
Speaker 1: like you have to just sometimes you spin off like

1341
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:26,639
Speaker 1: what you were going to say. Sometimes you cut stuff,

1342
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:28,960
Speaker 1: but you know what the other person is going to say,

1343
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 1: and it's a really awkward thing. It never turns out good.

1344
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just you saying Airbnb reminds me of like,

1345
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 3: you know, pee business. Pete is taking Airbnb duties away

1346
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:40,879
Speaker 3: from you after booking the wrong date for the players.

1347
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:45,320
Speaker 3: There have been two occasions where we've arrived at the

1348
01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:47,640
Speaker 3: air and b BnB like we're not getting out of

1349
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:50,680
Speaker 3: the car, not the best parts of town, Like.

1350
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 1: Andy, what did you do to us?

1351
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:54,720
Speaker 3: We're not getting So you've lost that that privilege, I

1352
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:58,880
Speaker 3: guess going forward. You know, my wife has told me

1353
01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:03,280
Speaker 3: for years I shouldn't be doing that. Other ones I

1354
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 3: don't know. That's it's audio mishap. I'd never go back

1355
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:09,919
Speaker 3: and listen. I refuse to listen to whatever have good, better, indifferent,

1356
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 3: and I've never listened to this one is apparently the

1357
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 3: worst worst effort ever at an audio medium.

1358
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:20,040
Speaker 1: It's certainly a podcast. Are you talking about when we

1359
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:20,599
Speaker 1: were in the car.

1360
01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:25,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, and this is allegedly now a major It

1361
01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 3: was Players Championship Week, an event of some note. We're

1362
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 3: in Ireland, and I was like, how are we gonna

1363
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:32,599
Speaker 3: how are you gonna podcast? We gotta do this, there's

1364
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 3: an ad or some some nonsense.

1365
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:34,920
Speaker 1: We gotta do a pod.

1366
01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:38,160
Speaker 3: And it's like, we're gonna do it on the ride

1367
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:41,799
Speaker 3: from Ulster to Dublin. I'm gonna wear the right AirPod.

1368
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 3: You're gonna wear the left air pod. And I'm in

1369
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:46,120
Speaker 3: the I'm in the d you're a drive in I'm

1370
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 3: in the passenger seat, and so we just hit record

1371
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:52,960
Speaker 3: on something. It was connected with my computer. It was

1372
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 3: up in the middle of the dashboard and we just

1373
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:57,920
Speaker 3: hit record. We have to talk about the players like

1374
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 3: it's kind of a there's an audience and it's important

1375
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 3: and all this stuff. And we get to the end

1376
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:05,880
Speaker 3: and you know, well, there's only one microphone and one

1377
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:06,639
Speaker 3: of the air pods.

1378
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:09,479
Speaker 1: So I think I had put those air pods through

1379
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:12,920
Speaker 1: the wash. Yeah, so the microphone didn't work, so it

1380
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 1: was just me yelling at the dashboard, the sound hitting

1381
01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:19,679
Speaker 1: the dashboard going around to Andy's AirPod and the driver's

1382
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:22,600
Speaker 1: seat and apparently it was like the player's Championship. We

1383
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:26,120
Speaker 1: got to Port Marnik and a friend of ours got

1384
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 1: the's like you can't.

1385
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 3: You can never do that again, never ever, Like, oh

1386
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:32,320
Speaker 3: it must be really bad. That's a good one.

1387
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 1: You know, early early, you know you're anybody that's running

1388
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:40,160
Speaker 1: like a small business with inventory and you know, putting

1389
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 1: cash out to buy things ahead of time. You know,

1390
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:45,479
Speaker 1: it's it's a nervy thing. And you know, we were

1391
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:49,479
Speaker 1: feeling feeling pretty good about ourselves after our first merch run.

1392
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 1: You know, I think we held out on merch for

1393
01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 1: so long. People were really excited to buy it, and uh,

1394
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:57,840
Speaker 1: you know, we decided like let's get weird with some

1395
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 1: ideas and we made the Pelly Yips shirts, which they

1396
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 1: were just like some like big blue glasses on a shirt.

1397
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 1: There was the most absurd, consurdly dumb shirt. We started

1398
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 1: feeling ourselves like, oh, people want this, this is good

1399
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:18,680
Speaker 1: and that I think we I mean, you know, this

1400
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 1: is the times when you know, cash was very tight,

1401
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:23,920
Speaker 1: and we we ordered these shirts and like I think

1402
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:28,360
Speaker 1: one sold the first like three months. If you were

1403
01:11:28,400 --> 01:11:32,479
Speaker 1: out there thank you. And I think we eventually put

1404
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:35,720
Speaker 1: them up for sale for like two dollars and that's

1405
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:36,680
Speaker 1: when they sold out.

1406
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:38,720
Speaker 3: And then they ended up in the same place like

1407
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:41,240
Speaker 3: New England Patriots super Bowl champs from a leav Ago

1408
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:43,599
Speaker 3: shirt like they were I think Pete sun them somewhere,

1409
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 3: so they sent them away. Another one that's like less

1410
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:50,479
Speaker 3: of a mishap, but a funny story at the end.

1411
01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:53,000
Speaker 3: I don't think we've ever told this, Like we did

1412
01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:55,600
Speaker 3: what we thought were like good serious discussion around like

1413
01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:58,600
Speaker 3: the Delaware delegation stuff, right when they were trying to

1414
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:00,519
Speaker 3: like what's gonna be the signature? Then how are they

1415
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:03,360
Speaker 3: remaking the tour? And like, I don't know, I guess

1416
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 3: like it was okay, right, And we got word that

1417
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 3: some people involved in that delegation had listened to the

1418
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 3: podcast because they got passed around. This is like a

1419
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:14,880
Speaker 3: good conversation or whatever, and it might have got passed

1420
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 3: around players and people and that delegation, maybe one of

1421
01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 3: which was just the subject of a flashback Friday, and

1422
01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:25,200
Speaker 3: he listened.

1423
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:25,479
Speaker 1: To a clip.

1424
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:31,160
Speaker 3: He goes, oh, that's good, that's good, but but who's

1425
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:38,640
Speaker 3: the drunk girl? Referring to Andy's pitch. Somebody send a

1426
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:41,240
Speaker 3: clip around that. I liked that, but who's the drunk

1427
01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:45,040
Speaker 3: girl talking? But who are these people? He was very confused.

1428
01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:46,400
Speaker 1: So that was a good one. But we felt like,

1429
01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:48,439
Speaker 1: oh my god, people are listening. Somebody listened to this.

1430
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:54,760
Speaker 1: It was like it's a very proud moment. Any others

1431
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:57,080
Speaker 1: went through out there and every good you know, I

1432
01:12:57,200 --> 01:13:02,080
Speaker 1: think like they came. TV brought up the Saturday at

1433
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:06,200
Speaker 1: the Masters when Tiger got slide tackled. I just like,

1434
01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:09,439
Speaker 1: will go back as you know, the peak, the peak

1435
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:13,679
Speaker 1: Ultimate Shotguns start series of events that day, which included

1436
01:13:14,080 --> 01:13:17,120
Speaker 1: Jason Day with the balloons, admitting that he was blowing

1437
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:22,360
Speaker 1: into balloons. Tiger got slide tackled. What happened to Appy Barnett?

1438
01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:26,880
Speaker 1: He rolled around? I mean, it's just like the peak

1439
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:31,200
Speaker 1: of vananity that we revel in. But uh yeah, I

1440
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:33,680
Speaker 1: mean thank you guys, ever everybody.

1441
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:35,760
Speaker 3: I mean, that was our first major, like in person, right,

1442
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:38,000
Speaker 3: we didn't even know like there's been there's the Bixby House.

1443
01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:39,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, there have been times we I don't know, like

1444
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:41,640
Speaker 1: covid or is we gonna ever go to them?

1445
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:44,759
Speaker 3: I think like Kiowa was our first major after covid

1446
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:46,360
Speaker 3: that I would say it was like the highlight of

1447
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 3: our podcast, riding bikes around.

1448
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:48,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1449
01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:50,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean also like maybe we can provide

1450
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:52,719
Speaker 3: value on site and do a good podcast.

1451
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 2: I would say just a month never goes by that

1452
01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:57,760
Speaker 2: someone doesn't bring up the Caves Valley episode with me.

1453
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:00,840
Speaker 2: And when you came busting in like the kool aid Man,

1454
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:01,200
Speaker 2: was like.

1455
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 1: This is a disaster. This is an absolute disaster.

1456
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:06,760
Speaker 2: And my other favorite part about that is like Andy

1457
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,600
Speaker 2: and I are talking and I'm like, I said that

1458
01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:11,240
Speaker 2: twice and I'm sorry, can you edit that out?

1459
01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 1: And he was like, nah, We're just keep going, don't.

1460
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:18,439
Speaker 1: We don't do editing. We just post like whatever happens. Okay. Yeah.

1461
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:21,080
Speaker 1: That one, I think I was still on vacation and

1462
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:23,120
Speaker 1: I made you know. I was like, I'm going to

1463
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:24,920
Speaker 1: do this, And then I was looking at the audio

1464
01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 1: file and I was like, oh man, this is like

1465
01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:29,559
Speaker 1: gonna be like five hours of work if I want

1466
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:32,320
Speaker 1: to make this even like remotely salvageable. And I was

1467
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:39,960
Speaker 1: just like, export audio upload. We just post. We don't edit.

1468
01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:42,120
Speaker 1: I think I knew then and there I was destined

1469
01:14:42,160 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 1: to work. That was no edit.

1470
01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:48,160
Speaker 3: We haven't been canceled yet, So it's working out all right?

1471
01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:49,680
Speaker 3: Oh that's it, that's it right.

1472
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:51,720
Speaker 1: We do some Q and I. Yeah, yeah, we do

1473
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:53,920
Speaker 1: some Q and I are we doing? Remember some Chicago

1474
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 1: guys PJ did some work. Throw too up? We got it.

1475
01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 3: We're testing Andy's nineteen nineties early two thousand Chica.

1476
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:03,320
Speaker 1: I go athletes throw up in them. This is dangerous

1477
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:05,160
Speaker 1: if we really want to test this for Andy.

1478
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:08,640
Speaker 5: But will Will Knights was my test case here and

1479
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:12,320
Speaker 5: he said that you should get at least the bulls.

1480
01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:16,719
Speaker 1: So who is this man? Bill Wennington? Oh? Bill Weddington?

1481
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:19,120
Speaker 1: Do you know where Bill Weddington went to college? By chance?

1482
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:23,759
Speaker 1: He's from Canada. I can't remember. Why am I asking

1483
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:28,200
Speaker 1: you this question? Saint John's Saint John? Hey? Who is

1484
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:33,559
Speaker 1: this two thousand Chicago cup? Oh? This is uh Farnsworth. Wow,

1485
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:36,880
Speaker 1: he's two for two, folks, I mean, how could you forget?

1486
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:38,240
Speaker 1: The question?

1487
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:45,679
Speaker 3: Went to Lake Havasu, came back with the Pucashell. Oh man,

1488
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:47,599
Speaker 3: this is really putting you on the spot.

1489
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:51,599
Speaker 1: This one time Bears quarterback. This is killing me. KVV

1490
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:54,600
Speaker 1: was fired up about this one. Is this It's not

1491
01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:57,280
Speaker 1: it's not Jim, it's not Jim Miller, is it no,

1492
01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:01,400
Speaker 1: Oh might have gone to John to think Quinn the

1493
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:06,320
Speaker 1: Ohio State University. Oh, Craig Crenzel, Crenz, he was what

1494
01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:10,920
Speaker 1: was he a molecular biology major? Sure it's coming in

1495
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 1: handy now. As he played about six games and that

1496
01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 1: was it was this great he did.

1497
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:16,840
Speaker 5: He played six games for I believe it was the

1498
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:19,000
Speaker 5: two thousand and three Bears and never played for another

1499
01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 5: team again.

1500
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:22,439
Speaker 1: So that was we had a smoke and mirrors season

1501
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:24,680
Speaker 1: that year because I remember I went to watch, uh

1502
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:27,200
Speaker 1: watch the Bears. They won a couple of games in

1503
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:28,920
Speaker 1: a row, and they were on you know, when the

1504
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:31,360
Speaker 1: when you get on the fringe of like in the

1505
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:34,040
Speaker 1: hunt on the playoff graphics, that's all you want. You

1506
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 1: want to be on the graphics. And I went with

1507
01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:38,960
Speaker 1: my dad and I went and in, you know, we

1508
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:41,080
Speaker 1: scalped tickets and we went to watch him play the

1509
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:45,519
Speaker 1: Colts and Peyton Manning just absolutely viscerate. It was like

1510
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 1: fifty and it was like this team is not serious.

1511
01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:52,800
Speaker 1: All right, well we'll call it there. You went for three?

1512
01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:57,040
Speaker 1: Did you throw up David Boston or was that just

1513
01:16:57,120 --> 01:17:01,320
Speaker 1: Ohio State? Was David Boston? Boston I think he was

1514
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:04,160
Speaker 1: thrown to maybe like mush and Mohammad. Then all right,

Speaker 1: him give him a shout out.

1532
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:56,160
Speaker 5: This from Bucky Badger. We got a celebrity in the crowd, right,

1533
01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:57,920
Speaker 5: Bucky Badger or Rocky Badger.

1534
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 1: Are the Illinois Balkans frauds? I'm glad. I'm glad that

1535
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:07,880
Speaker 1: the the Wisconsin fans that are probably also Packers fans

1536
01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:12,240
Speaker 1: are feeling chesty. You know, I'm glad that they've gotten

1537
01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:15,720
Speaker 1: their pride back after the after the cheese graters came

1538
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:20,599
Speaker 1: and got them. I'll say, like, getting getting chesty about

1539
01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 1: beating Illinois when you know two of their three best

1540
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:26,439
Speaker 1: players are out is probably you know what you beat

1541
01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:29,439
Speaker 1: us in overtime. Seems like the refs had a had

1542
01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:33,599
Speaker 1: a had an interesting whistle down the strategy. But hey,

1543
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:37,200
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not I'm not complaining about the refs.

1544
01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:39,720
Speaker 1: I'm just saying what Brad Underwood said. So I'm not

1545
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:42,320
Speaker 1: worried they are frauds. This is the best Illinois team

1546
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 1: in a while. We watched that together a lot of

1547
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:47,639
Speaker 1: I was gonna say it was the blow softened by Lotties. Yes, yeah,

1548
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:52,080
Speaker 1: I mean there was, I know there was. Uh. This

1549
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:52,960
Speaker 1: is from Emily.

1550
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:55,920
Speaker 5: This is topical given what we did today, Ladies of

1551
01:18:55,960 --> 01:19:01,680
Speaker 5: the shotgun the shotguns, Which tour player would be the

1552
01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 5: most likely to put ketchup on a Chicago Dog.

1553
01:19:07,479 --> 01:19:08,120
Speaker 1: Tour player?

1554
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:12,000
Speaker 3: I mean I instantly got at Bryson d. Chambeau because

1555
01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:14,759
Speaker 3: he has a probably has the appetite of a child,

1556
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:18,320
Speaker 3: you know, like chicken Dino nuggets and crinkle fries.

1557
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 1: Like that about the tank. The tank maybe he's Austrian,

1558
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:31,760
Speaker 1: he's probably got some and he's Georgian. Yeah, I think

1559
01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:34,519
Speaker 1: Bryson's a good bet for that. Ketchup on a steak

1560
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 1: Justin Thomas. I see where you're going with that. Calum Morikawa, Yeah,

1561
01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:47,120
Speaker 1: that's a good one. Had a Chicago dog I did.

1562
01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 5: It's the problem for me is that I don't eat tomato,

1563
01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:53,240
Speaker 5: pickle or yellow mustard.

1564
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 1: So it was a very interesting and I don't really

1565
01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:56,280
Speaker 1: like hot dogs.

1566
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 5: So it's kind of like, uh, it's like, oh man,

1567
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:03,160
Speaker 5: I don't but that video will be on Instagram at

1568
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:03,639
Speaker 5: some point.

1569
01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:06,000
Speaker 1: You sold your that. You have your boss there saying

1570
01:20:06,080 --> 01:20:10,600
Speaker 1: eat it, like listen, you got you. You make a

1571
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:13,560
Speaker 1: commitment to the content games. Sometimes you do things you

1572
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:16,599
Speaker 1: don't want to do. It was fine. It was totally fine. Brendan.

1573
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:20,400
Speaker 5: This one's from you for you for well. Hawaiian pizza

1574
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:23,599
Speaker 5: is good. Actually, as we live the other night, Uh,

1575
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:27,679
Speaker 5: Dave as is BC Athletics ever going to return to glory?

1576
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:30,040
Speaker 5: I don't even need glory. Just give me an n

1577
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:33,080
Speaker 5: Cuba turn turny bid every once every five years and

1578
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:36,040
Speaker 5: a generational start like Luke Keikley every once in a while.

1579
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:38,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that was the most notable athletic thing

1580
01:20:39,040 --> 01:20:41,000
Speaker 3: that's happened in like five years. We got a guy

1581
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:43,080
Speaker 3: in the Hall of Fame. Ah, we don't need to

1582
01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:44,200
Speaker 3: Boorlis Chicago crow with this.

1583
01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:44,960
Speaker 1: It's a disaster.

1584
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:50,080
Speaker 3: You answer, it's like it's really embarrassing, And yeah, I

1585
01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:51,479
Speaker 3: went there all four years.

1586
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:51,960
Speaker 1: I was there.

1587
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:54,960
Speaker 3: We went to the NCAA tournament. We beat Notre Dame

1588
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:58,240
Speaker 3: in football all four years I was there. You know,

1589
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:00,400
Speaker 3: you win like eight games and go the hard Quest

1590
01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:02,000
Speaker 3: Bowl or whatever, and it was like, God, this is

1591
01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:04,400
Speaker 3: like a or like a real sports school, and like

1592
01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:06,160
Speaker 3: it's been all downhill ever since.

1593
01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:10,360
Speaker 1: Then, maybe you go back to school. Did you use

1594
01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:14,040
Speaker 1: your eligibility? No, I hope people are doing that. I

1595
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:15,800
Speaker 1: don't think they'd want me back. Maybe he could run

1596
01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:19,840
Speaker 1: the school paper. Uh. This this from Jim.

1597
01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:24,160
Speaker 5: I'm supportive of the rollback, but concerned about how even

1598
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:28,400
Speaker 5: evangelizing these positions can come off. Can we discuss some

1599
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:31,880
Speaker 5: best practices for being a proponent without being obnoxious?

1600
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:38,840
Speaker 1: That's like a real question. You got to give one question.

1601
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:40,680
Speaker 1: Do you know how to be a proponent for this

1602
01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:43,960
Speaker 1: without being obnoxious. I have my doubts. I think so

1603
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:46,920
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I think the way the way

1604
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:50,400
Speaker 1: you do it is you you ask a lot of questions.

1605
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:55,960
Speaker 1: You you allow the person to uh kind of step

1606
01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 1: in the mud Socratic method. Yeah, and then and then

1607
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:04,040
Speaker 1: you pound, but you pounce really politely and then say,

1608
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:07,280
Speaker 1: but you know, everybody likes golf. You know. The key is,

1609
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:11,040
Speaker 1: like it's the Larry David thing of like go with

1610
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:15,320
Speaker 1: the the you know, compliment, and then say, having said that,

1611
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:19,680
Speaker 1: so with the rollback. The key is you state your opinions.

1612
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:21,960
Speaker 1: But what I always like to do is end it

1613
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 1: with but listen, like everybody likes golf for a different reason.

1614
01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:28,479
Speaker 1: You know, I just don't want it to become bowling

1615
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:31,519
Speaker 1: or darts, you know, something like that. I think, like

1616
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:35,439
Speaker 1: throwing a cross sport comp comp like you always do

1617
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:37,400
Speaker 1: the metal bat, like do we need to move Wrigley

1618
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:40,560
Speaker 1: Field's fences like four blocks away from like would we

1619
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:40,920
Speaker 1: do that?

1620
01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:44,080
Speaker 5: Or like you can have the Fernando Tatis batting parts

1621
01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:46,639
Speaker 5: of video just like saved on your phone to show people.

1622
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 1: I love I love how you think that I have anything.

1623
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:53,040
Speaker 1: But I know you don't. It's a great it's a

1624
01:22:53,080 --> 01:22:56,559
Speaker 1: great point by you actually do the cross sport comp

1625
01:22:56,600 --> 01:22:59,040
Speaker 1: first of the new co're you're my person I go

1626
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:02,439
Speaker 1: to when I need sounds. Also true, I'm the index.

1627
01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:06,840
Speaker 5: Uh Lash asks in your interview, can you add a

1628
01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:09,880
Speaker 5: Spotify rap segment of the top soundboard place?

1629
01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:11,880
Speaker 1: I want to know which is played the most.

1630
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:14,680
Speaker 5: We got into an argument about this last year when

1631
01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:17,840
Speaker 5: I probably incorrectly said that Don Reya was the most

1632
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:20,840
Speaker 5: mentioned person of twenty twenty five, beating Rory. I think

1633
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:23,559
Speaker 5: that was a bad take by me. Hand up, however,

1634
01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:26,799
Speaker 5: who what's what's the most used soundboard?

1635
01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:33,559
Speaker 1: Probably the Scotti, the dun Dune Fair, Police Law and Order.

1636
01:23:34,320 --> 01:23:36,360
Speaker 1: I wish I had it today. The bubb Up Mudball.

1637
01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:38,960
Speaker 1: We we could have had that before. I wish we

1638
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:42,840
Speaker 1: had it today too, because those those players quotes about

1639
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:46,400
Speaker 1: like we're here and we're ready sounds like something that

1640
01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:50,160
Speaker 1: somebody would that would say, I don't mean to sound defensive.

1641
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:52,880
Speaker 3: Or spitball or spitball, but if I have our way,

1642
01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:54,479
Speaker 3: we will never stop using that one.

1643
01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 1: Liberally. The best thing is probably a lot of you

1644
01:23:57,160 --> 01:24:01,080
Speaker 1: guys listen, uh live in the moment.

1645
01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:03,560
Speaker 3: You can always tell when it's coming because Andy's like

1646
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:04,919
Speaker 3: this like looks.

1647
01:24:04,760 --> 01:24:07,280
Speaker 1: Up, starts like grinning the ear to the ear. They're like, oh,

1648
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:08,840
Speaker 1: we go out to get like the law and order,

1649
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:11,040
Speaker 1: like like right in my ear. It's like you can

1650
01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:14,200
Speaker 1: tell he starts grinning and like looking scrambling for the

1651
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:16,640
Speaker 1: button and they won't let me have it, but you

1652
01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:20,960
Speaker 1: can just see it on his face when it's coming. Yeah, yeah,

1653
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:23,760
Speaker 1: it's It's the worst though, when I'm like on a

1654
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:26,240
Speaker 1: different window and I'm like scrambling.

1655
01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:29,719
Speaker 5: To get back and then you know, miss missed the moment.

1656
01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:32,320
Speaker 5: You take the lead on this one. This is from Jack.

1657
01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:37,559
Speaker 1: What's your favorite SGS nickname? Oh my god, I think

1658

Speaker 1: it's a solicitor general. It just makes me laugh every time.

1659
01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:50,519
Speaker 1: Not in Polk County, they're not laughing. Uh yeah. The

Speaker 1: a big fan of Todd Watch. Yeah, sure, I mean

1663
01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:03,479
Speaker 1: that was amazing. He was like lost his career and

1664
01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:06,560
Speaker 1: Brendan starts picking him in one and done. All of

1665
01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:09,600
Speaker 1: a sudden, he like flashes and now he's gone to.

1666
01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:14,280
Speaker 3: Get I mean recent one you started calling Scottie Sheriff

1667
01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:17,160
Speaker 3: of the Fair Police. And literally within weeks, even Baker

1668
01:25:17,240 --> 01:25:19,679
Speaker 3: Finch on the broadcast is like, there's the sheriff.

1669
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:23,519
Speaker 1: Pretty good, pretty good story. I mean one of my

1670
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:27,880
Speaker 1: favorite moments, honestly was like the players and I don't

1671
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 1: know when, and you know, this was pretty early in

1672
01:25:30,080 --> 01:25:33,640
Speaker 1: the in the shotgun starting and Craig Perks is on

1673
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:37,240
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour Live calls Thursday morning and Billy Horschel's

1674
01:25:37,280 --> 01:25:40,519
Speaker 1: on the screen and he's like a baton boy Tom

1675
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:46,439
Speaker 1: Cryer on TV. He twirls out like a baton. So

1676
01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:49,800
Speaker 1: it's amazing when that happens. You know, this is a

1677
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:52,240
Speaker 1: this is a story that I don't think I've ever told.

1678
01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:55,000
Speaker 1: Maybe I've told it on the pod, but I you know,

1679
01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:59,479
Speaker 1: I know, uh, Mark Leishman's caddie. Uh, you know, just

1680
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:02,639
Speaker 1: you known him through golf and you know I talked

1681
01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:07,080

1690
01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:32,360
Speaker 1: But it's like you knew that he knew the bit

1691
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:36,200
Speaker 1: about the first base. There have been there have been

1692
01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:37,880
Speaker 1: a few of those. A few of those were you

1693
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:42,200
Speaker 1: introduced to a prominent player last year at the players

1694
01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:45,200
Speaker 1: like this is and I know who you are. We

1695

1696
01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 1: that's someone that I haven't spoke highly of. I know

1697
01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:53,680
Speaker 1: who you are.

1698
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:57,640
Speaker 5: Uh, Phil asks while we're here, can you do a

1699
01:26:57,760 --> 01:26:59,880
Speaker 5: quick ten minutes? I don't know if you're getting ten minutes,

1700
01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:02,560
Speaker 5: but do you have any comments on Lost Marsh? And

1701
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 5: this is his editorializing what a piece of ship?

1702
01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:13,160
Speaker 1: I think my question. I haven't been back to Lost

1703
01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:15,640
Speaker 1: March in a number of years, but uh, my in

1704
01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:19,519
Speaker 1: laws recently moved to Indiana is now on directly on

1705
01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:24,559
Speaker 1: my route there. So I'm really starting to think about

1706
01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:27,880
Speaker 1: about cooking, getting out, getting the drone out there, and

1707
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:32,040
Speaker 1: really doing a proper, a proper video about Lost March.

1708
01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:34,840
Speaker 1: I think like The thing that's super impressed about Lost

1709
01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:38,040
Speaker 1: Marsh is the first five holes are an utter disaster.

1710
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:42,439
Speaker 1: But it's not like it gets better after five holes,

1711
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:44,519
Speaker 1: Like there are a couple of holes on the back

1712
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:47,840
Speaker 1: nine that are like even maybe more head scratching than

1713
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:48,479
Speaker 1: the first five.

1714
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:51,360
Speaker 3: What did you have like a quick like all time

1715
01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:55,320
