Tiger has 20 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: been chatty talking about getting stronger his workout regimen. He 21 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: also talked about Phil had a story about John Daley. 22 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: That's just like, Hey, Tiger gets in front of the 23 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: microphone now and it just feels like he's got a 24 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: lot of things to talk about and sharing. Fifteen years ago, 25 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: ten years ago, he not sharing any of this. Now, 26 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: he just feels like he and maybe there's the appreciation 27 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: of you know what, I'm able to still do this, 28 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: and I'm going to let people behind the curtain a 29 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: little bit and let him know that, you know, the 30 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: human side of me, the emotional side of me being 31 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: a parent, coming back from this devastating injury, just to 32 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: be able to play, and I get a chance to 33 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: do this. Here is a Tiger talking about his limitations. 34 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: There's gonna be limitations. I mean, there's just a lot 35 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: of hardware in there, and I'm gonna get stronger. I 36 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: don't know how much that is or how much range 37 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: of motion I'll ever get back, but I'm sure that 38 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: have a lot better than was, you know, twelve months ago. Yeah, 39 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: and if you watch him. You can tell now he's 40 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: not laboring the way he did at Augusta. But it's 41 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: a different golf course. You're watching Tiger, We're not talking 42 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: about his swing. We're talking about his ability to be 43 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: able to walk, to be comfortable. He did talk about 44 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: Phil Mickelson not being at the PGA Championship as the 45 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: defending champ. It's always disappointing when the defending champions not here. 46 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: Phil has said some things that I think a lot 47 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: of us who are committed to the tour and committed 48 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: to the legacy of the tour have pushed back against 49 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: and he's taken some personal and we all understand that, 50 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: but I think that some of his views and how 51 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: the tour could be run should be Run's been a 52 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: lot of disagreement there. But as as as we all 53 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: know as a professional, we miss him being out here. 54 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a big draw for the game of golf. 55 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: He's just taking his time and you know, we all 56 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: wish him the best way it comes back. Obviously, we're 57 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: gonna have difference of opinions that how he sees the 58 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: tour and we'll go from there. You know, measured, you know, 59 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: choosing your words, and I understand that. I don't know 60 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: if he was going over the top being critical. I 61 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: think he was just saying, look, we got a different 62 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: philosophy here. You know, I'm all in on the PGA 63 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: Championship and Phil is not. Story came out that Jack 64 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: Nicholas was offered one hundred million dollars to be the 65 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: face of this Saudi back tour. Greg Norman is that face. 66 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: But twice they did something I think verbally and then 67 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: in writing, to offer Jack Nicholas one hundred million dollars. 68 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: Jack is to the PGA what Jerry West is to 69 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: the NBA. As far as they're the face of it, 70 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: they're the logo. I mean Jerry Jerry literally is the logo. 71 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: Jack is not. I think the logo is Payne Stewart. 72 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: But Jack is the face of golf in America at 73 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: age eighty six. He still is and he doesn't want 74 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: to give up that legacy for any amount of money. 75 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: Here is Tiger talking about Phil's comments about the Saudies. 76 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: It has ramped up very quickly. If this would have 77 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: happened thirty years ago twenty years ago wouldn't have happened 78 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: as fast. But social media has changed the landscape and 79 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: how fast things can ramp up, whether it's real news 80 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: or fake news or whatever it is. Opinions get out 81 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: there instantly and it can sway very quickly one away 82 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: or the other. While we're seeing right now in a 83 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: society it's very pipolar. There's really no middle ground. You 84 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: stand one way or the other, and it's very polarizing. 85 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: And the viewpoints that Phil has made, you know, with 86 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: the tour and what the tour has meant to all 87 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: of us has been polarizing as well. And I don't 88 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: know what Phil is mad about or wants to get 89 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: out of the Saudi tour that he's not getting out 90 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: of the PGA, or why he's not playing. They're just 91 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: there's more questions that answers here. And maybe there's money 92 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: issues if it's true that he lost forty million dollars 93 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: in gambling over the last five or six years, and 94 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: how much are you playing on tour? He lost a 95 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: lot of sponsors here. You got money coming in from 96 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: this Saudi back tour, the live tour, and maybe there's 97 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: guarantees that these guys can make. I don't know, but 98 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 1: I'm just surprised that we haven't heard from Phil, whether 99 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: it was Augusta or the PJA Championship at some point, 100 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: no matter, when this cools down, it rams back up 101 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: when Phil comes back. It's not like they go, what 102 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: were we going to talk to Phil about? What was 103 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 1: that was that? It's just I think that everybody's going 104 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: to look at this when Phil eventually comes back to play. 105 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 1: Will it be for the Saudi Back Golf Tour or 106 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: will it be a PGA tour? And conflicting reports. Was 107 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: he suspended? Was he advised not to play? He doesn't 108 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: have sponsors? Yeah, he lost most of his sponsors here. 109 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if his sponsors said, hey, you know what, 110 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: let's lay low here. Tiger also had a John Daily 111 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,239 Speaker 1: story that he wanted to share yesterday. I remember playing 112 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: behind JD the first day, which was awesome. It was 113 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: on one hundred and nine, I think that first day 114 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: and asked JD how how mean waters he drank out there? 115 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: Says now, I had thirteen die cokes. So it was 116 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: it was a It was a great week, a very 117 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: different golf course. So that was crooked stick. I think, 118 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: is that what he's talking about he's talking about. I 119 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: think the last time he was on this course in 120 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: Tulsa one hundred nine degrees and he played a practice 121 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: round with John Daily. Okay, John Daily, thirteen cokes hydra. 122 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: I played a practice round with John many many years ago. 123 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: And he's not fun to play with because a he 124 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: hits the ball so far, but he moves when you're 125 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: ready to swing, like, he doesn't stay still. He just 126 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: moving and you know you're I'm grinding, and he would 127 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: start to walk and I'd say, John, he goes, just 128 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: hit it. I go, okay. So I'd be hitting the 129 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: ball all over the place. But I did say to 130 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: him he was hitting drives on the driving range that 131 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: were over three hundred yards three hundred and you know, 132 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: twenty yards. I said, it's that better than sex. He goes, 133 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: nothing's better than sex. H character. After the first jewel 134 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: of the Triple Crown, the stakes only get higher. We 135 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: head to the Run for the Black Eyed Susans be 136 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: one hundred forty seventh preak Newstake Saturday for Eastern on 137 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: NBC and Peacock. Here's Rory McElroy. Now, he initially was 138 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: critical of Phil and what he was going to do, 139 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: but he since walked those back a little bit Rory 140 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: had this to say about Nicholson. Phil Nicholson has been 141 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: a legend of our game for the last thirty years, 142 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: and I certainly don't think he should be shut out 143 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: of the game. You know, he said some bad things 144 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: and offended some people, but I don't think that that 145 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: mix a right to completely shut him out of the 146 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: game of golf. I mean, he's I think he'll be 147 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: welcome back, and I think a lot of players will 148 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: be happy to see him back, but that'll all be 149 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: in his own time on wherever he decides to show 150 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: up again. I'm just curious what else is in this 151 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 1: book that's going to be coming out. Yeah, seton. Is 152 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: Phil Nicholson being shut out of golf right now because 153 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: of the things he said, or because he's actively trying 154 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: to find a rival league to the PGA or a 155 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: rival tour. But I don't know if he's being shut out. 156 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if the PGA Tour is saying, hey, 157 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: we don't want you, or does Phil, or maybe Greg 158 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: Norman said to Phil, hey, let's lay low here with 159 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: these comments and hopefully that will kind of subside a 160 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: little bit. So I don't know if Pj's tour saying, oh, 161 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: you want to start a rival tour here, then we 162 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: don't want to see. The PGA can't do this because 163 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: then you sort of bite off your nose to spite 164 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: your face, where you go, hey, we're not gonna let 165 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 1: you play in our PGA events, but these are big 166 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: name players that you need to play in your PGA events. 167 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: And I don't know if it's we need to have 168 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: more money for these players, you know, like, what is 169 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: that animosity where you go, don't want to play on 170 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: this tour anymore? Like is the PGA tour run like 171 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: a dictatorship? Are they not getting what they think they 172 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: should be getting? And why is Phil so mad? Why 173 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: is Greg Norman so mad? It feels like Greg Norman 174 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: has a real there's animosity, there's vitriol with the PGA. 175 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: With Phil, I'm not quite sure. Yeah, it does feel 176 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: like instantly right after Phil made his comments with Alan Shouldnock, 177 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: the writer that were released that his sponsors bailed because 178 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: he was toxic and you know, toxic to the sport 179 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: of golf. You know, they the sponsors bailed even though 180 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: he was going to be playing elsewhere. You think he'd 181 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: still be sponsorable playing on a world stage, but they 182 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: bailed instantaneous. Yeah, he's still popular. I just wonder what 183 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: this book is going to do to that popularity. Yeah. 184 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: So I think Ricky Fowler is really interesting. Yeah, he 185 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: says he's undecided. But Ricky hasn't been playing very well. 186 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 1: He has wanted a long time. He has a lot 187 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: to gain from something like that. It feels like he 188 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: would be because he's a name that he would bring 189 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: out people. But Ricky might look at this and go, 190 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: this is an easy payday here, And I think all 191 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: of these guys, Hey, if I could do this and 192 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: I don't have to answer any questions Saudi Arabia, Hey, 193 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: I'm all in. I don't think it's that easy. I 194 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: think wherever they go, certainly in the United States, they're 195 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: going to face those questions. Ye. His quote was to 196 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: be straightforward with you guys. I haven't necessarily made a 197 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: decision either way. I've mentioned in the past. Do I 198 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: think the PGA Tour is the best place to play? 199 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: I do. Do I think it can be better? Yes, 200 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: I've always looked at competition being a good thing. It's 201 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: a driving force of our game, you know, being able 202 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: to have games with guys at home. That's how I 203 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: grew up. It's competing. I think competition ultimately makes people better, 204 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: whether it's business or sport. So it's interesting, that's for sure. 205 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: I'm still waiting to hear the list of reasons why 206 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: these players have a problem with the PGA tour, and look, 207 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: I'd be open to listening to that and understanding what 208 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: the inner workings are, but I haven't heard that. All Right, 209 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: we got a chance to make this money. We want 210 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: to have a right. You know, Greg Norman's been working 211 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: on this for a while. This has been in the 212 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: works for I think a couple of decades. They talked 213 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: about this, But it's that's the curiosity here, like what's 214 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: going on? Where you go? I'm so angry, Like Sergio 215 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: Garcia says during a round where he couldn't find his 216 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 1: ball and the rules official then penalized to him, and 217 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 1: he's like, I can't wait to get out of here. 218 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: Go to Europe. You play your whole career over there, 219 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: than will we miss you? Yeah sort of? Yeah, Well, 220 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: I think I was reading some of the tour pros 221 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: are upset that the PJA really controls their yearly schedule 222 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: with the you know, the they pay them. Well there, 223 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: it's not like they're being used in a way, but 224 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: they The pa tour schedule limits you him playing outside 225 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: the PGA schedule. And then as soon as this live 226 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: tour came up, the PJA started threatening the lifetime bands 227 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: and you heard phrases like that being thrown about. It 228 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: does remind you apples and Oranges a little bit of 229 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: like nineteen eighty two when the USFL came up and 230 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: started stealing all the talent that was going to the NFL. 231 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: But the USFL didn't have the stable financial base to 232 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: do it long term. The Saudi Live Tour has the 233 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: financial base. Oh yeah, they're not gonna run out of money. 234 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: USFL having covered that, they ran out of money. That's 235 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: where he had every owner for himself. Hey I got 236 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: a star, I got a star. I gotta star, I 237 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: got a star. And then everybody wanted to have their 238 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: team absorbed by the NFL. Yeah. See, it's interesting that 239 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: the Live Tour or Live Golf right is backed by 240 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 1: a public investment fund that's the same group, right, it's 241 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: like a pool of money basically by the Saudi government 242 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: that also bought Newcastle in England and Premier League, and 243 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: that caused all kinds of controversy. Yeah, so it's interesting 244 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: that there's a big push into sports. Well, got a 245 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: lot of money, got a lot of toys. I think 246 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:51,719 Speaker 1: the fund is something like six hundred billion dollars. That's 247 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: why you could say to every big name player. Let's 248 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: say I wanted to get the top fifteen players, and 249 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: I'm going to pay everybody twenty million dollars each, John 250 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: rom Rory Jordan's speed justin. Everybody makes twenty million dollars 251 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: and then you're gonna make money on top of that 252 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: with the prize money. I'm going to get your attention. 253 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: And what is you know, three hundred million dollars or 254 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: a billion dollars to the Saudies. You could do this easily. 255 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: You just say, look, I'm gonna buy you and I'm 256 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: going to give you this this amount of money. You 257 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: can't turn this down. You're gonna make twenty million dollars guaranteed. 258 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: All you gotta do is maintain your ranking. You know, 259 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: you could do relegation. You could be if you're in 260 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: the top thirty, then we're gonna pay you. If you 261 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: drop out of the top thirty. Then we're not going 262 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: to pay you. We're gonna, you know, have somebody who 263 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: comes in and take your take your place. What's a 264 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: billion dollars? Yeah, poem. Well, I think that may be 265 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: the bigger, longer term fear of the PGA tours. One day, 266 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: one of these live tour stops says, we're going to 267 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,359 Speaker 1: schedule our tour stopped the same day as the Masters, 268 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: and we're our purse will be four times the two 269 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: million dollar purse of the Masters. That's the long term 270 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: fear is that, oh, we're gonna make our majors irrelevant 271 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: someday with money, which money cannot make anything irrelevant. Yeah, 272 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: and that's what I wonder. Everybody's got a price. It's 273 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: like Tom Brady. Did I think he was going to 274 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: be an analyst? I didn't, and then all of a sudden, 275 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: Fox goes thirty seven million dollars a year. Okay, I 276 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: think I could break down Brown's Bengals game. Sure, I'll 277 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: do that. This Saudi Bank tour, I mean, I would 278 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: just pony up as much money as possible. I'd say, 279 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: all right, let's see who wants to play. You got 280 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: a price tag here, say to Tiger, We'll give you 281 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: fifty million dollars. I'm gonna, Tiger, We're gonna sign you 282 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: to a three year, one hundred and fifty million dollars due. 283 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: All you have to do is show up playing the events, 284 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: nobody misses the cut, and you're gonna make fifty million 285 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: dollars guaranteed. Show up for ten events. You interested, maybe, Yeah, 286 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: Paul Tiger Woods turned down a three million dollar appearance 287 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: fee from a tour stop in Dubai, a golf tournament 288 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: in Dubai a couple years. He used to get you 289 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: a million to appear at some tournaments and the purse 290 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: for the winner was less than that. We're giving him 291 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: five million dollars for every tour stop, guaranteed fifty million 292 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: dollars and then whatever money you make in prize earnings. Yeah. Poll. 293 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: It was the twenty twenty Saudi International, which Phil Mickelson 294 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: did play in and got a parents fee. Tiger Woods 295 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: passed is just to play in the tournament. Even if 296 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: he missed a cut, he would have made three million dollars. Tiger. Yeah, 297 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: we'll take a break. We'll talk to Brad Faxson about this. 298 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: He's working for the Golf channel, get his thoughts on Mickelson, 299 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: when's he coming back, is he deciding that he doesn't 300 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: want to play, or is the PGA tour involved in this? 301 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: And get his thoughts on who might actually win this event. 302 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: This is one of the where it feels like the 303 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: conversation isn't about the event as much as it is 304 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: Phil not playing in the event or Tigers showing up 305 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: and just talking about sort of his rehab process here 306 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: because the odds are really long that Tiger is even 307 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: going to be there on Saturday and Sunday. We'll take 308 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: a break back after this. Dan Patrick Shaw, Oh, I 309 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 1: didn't realize this. LifeLock told me.

School or medical office 311 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: data breaches are really common now.

And you probably didn't even think of this. 314 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: That's why it's great to have LifeLock. LifeLock understands how 315 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: cyber crime and identity theft are affecting our lives every 316 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: day and the personal information we put out there, and 317 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: we do it so readily.

Now, Brad, how are you? I'm 343 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: doing great, Dan, thanks for having me, honest as a 344 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: real honor. Do you ever get mistaken for Tony Hawk 345 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: the skateboarder? That's the funniest question. Yes. I was actually 346 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: in one of his stores in California and some guy 347 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: came up to me and he was kind of walking 348 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: in circles and I thought he recognized me as a golfer. 349 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: And he goes, hey, this is pretty cool you're in here. 350 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, there's not many golfers that skateboard. 351 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: He goes, oh, no, no, I know who you really are. 352 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: It's cool that you just hang out your own store. 353 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:49,919 Speaker 1: That's pretty funny. Do you skateboard? Not at all? Oh? 354 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: All right? The storyline at the PGA Championship is what. 355 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: There's tremendous amounts of storylines. I mean, the biggest one 356 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: was a week ago when Phil Mickel in, the defending champion, withdrew. 357 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: We covered a lot of that on Monday on Live 358 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: From like you mentioned, with rich Lerner and Randall Shambley. 359 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 1: But what's the reason why, Brad. I don't know why 360 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: Phil withdrew after saying that he was going to play Well, 361 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that he ever said he was going 362 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: to play Dan. He actually committed to play in the event, 363 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: and the pH Championships a little bit different than most 364 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: of the PJA Tour events. The PJA Tour events require 365 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: players to enter or withdraw by Friday before the tournament. 366 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: The PJA Championship entry form his way earlier and a 367 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: month ago, I think he was undecided. He talked to 368 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 1: the PJA of America CEO Seth Waw and just I 369 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,439 Speaker 1: think his handlers did and said he's not ready to 370 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: play yet. I think Alan Schipnuk's debut with his book 371 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 1: that came out yesterday and the troubling news that Billy 372 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 1: Walters is going to come out with another book I 373 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 1: think is trying to has kind of kept Phil at bad. Yeah, 374 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm trying to understand what choice Phil has 375 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,199 Speaker 1: in this. Did he did he have the choice to 376 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 1: go to Augusta or not go. Did he have the 377 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: choice if he wanted to go to the PGA Championship 378 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: or not? In Europe? The Master's organization or the sort 379 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: of a committee there. August it's a national It's different 380 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: than the PGA of America, different than the PGA Tour. 381 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: My sources say that he was requested that to keep 382 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: his troubles at home and not come there and make 383 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: that a distraction. I can't confirm that with certainty, but 384 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: I've had a number of people tell me that. So 385 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: I think that Phil is really trying to get his 386 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: life back together. Yeah. This other book that's going to 387 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: come out, I mean, the Alan Ship book is one thing. 388 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: The other book, from what I hear, it's gonna be 389 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: pretty damaging for Phil. I think it's going to be 390 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 1: damning for Phil, and maybe tell us a few things 391 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: we don't know. Billy Walters went to prison really for 392 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: the insider trading and the Jimide and sausage case, and 393 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: Phil was involved with that. He paid back close to 394 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,959 Speaker 1: a million dollars, and I think Billy felt like if 395 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 1: Phil had testified or had come before, he might have 396 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: saved some time for Billy Walters. Tiger's demeanor, how would 397 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 1: you explain this, this demeanor with the media that happened. 398 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: It feels like overnight. It does feel like overnight. That's 399 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: the first thing I was going to say, Dan. I 400 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: mean after his accident, he spent a year four hundred 401 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 1: and six days. We know before after the acts, like 402 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicholas, when when they got really 403 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: beyond the competitive years, they started being I think a 404 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 1: little bit more emotional. When they played at Augusta National, 405 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: they were celebrated by the fans, they had the patrons, 406 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: and I think for the first time in Tiger's life 407 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: he showed something that emotion while he was still on 408 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: the course, while he was competing. And I think, you know, 409 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: when you look at this generation of the great players 410 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: now like Rory McElroy and Jordan Speed from Tiger will 411 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: play with tomorrow morning when they te off here in Tulsa, 412 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: I think eight to eleven Central time. Tiger has been 413 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: a mentor to those players now. He's invited them to 414 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: play practice rounds with him. Money might have done that alone. 415 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: I know Rory and Tiger and practice together back at 416 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: Jupiter and he's, you know, going to be a Ryder 417 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: Cup captain when it gets to Beth Page in a 418 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: few years. And I think Tiger has really kind of 419 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: embraced that a little bit like Arnold and Jack did 420 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: before him. We're talking to Brad faxon he's working for 421 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: Golf Channel. Eight times. I got that right, eight times 422 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: on the PGA Tour. Yes, yes, that's right, I got you. 423 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 1: Best finish in a major was fifth at the PJA Championship. 424 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: That's correct, yep, I did that in nineteen ninety five. 425 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: I never did well in the US Open. I played 426 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: here in the PGA. Nick Price won a nineteen four 427 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: played in the US Open here. This is some course. 428 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: You've got golf clubs behind you, You've got what what 429 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: do you have? Putters? I have plotters. I'm a Scottie 430 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: Cameron guy, as you probably know. But I'm going to 431 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: do a couple of pieces for the Golf Channel for 432 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: later on. Tight and I have to hit some chips 433 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: and pots because this is a really damn this course. 434 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: And you're a golf fan, I know when the players 435 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: are going to miss a green this week. The course 436 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: was renovated by Gill Hanson, one of the best architects 437 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: in the world right now, and when the players missed 438 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: the ball is going to run away from the green. 439 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: It's going to go down these short moon areas, tightly 440 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: moon areas fairway height, and players are going to really 441 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: have a hard time potting up these hills because it's 442 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: it's fairway height. It's not like tightly moon are like 443 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: some fringes are. So the chipping is going to be 444 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: a real important part this week. And I think that 445 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: players are really confident with the short game, and you 446 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: see these players in practice and all the shots around 447 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: the green. I really want to show the spectators what 448 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: it's like, the viewers what it's like around these greens. 449 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: Difficult to just but is it like Pinehurst number two 450 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: where you have those greens that are crowned and then 451 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: they just roll a little bit crowned And there's areas 452 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: on almost every green where if you miss it short 453 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: or to the side, it couldn't run off a long 454 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: way twenty or thirty yards. But unlike at Pinehurst where 455 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: the fairway cut around the greens is so tight, where 456 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: it's easy to just pick out potter and run it. 457 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: Or some players like to use a hybrid. I think 458 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: you're going to see a lot more players having to 459 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: use a lofted club. And it seems like chipping has 460 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 1: become an epidemic worse than COVID around here. I don't 461 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: need it. It's weird to be covering a golf event 462 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: or watching the coverage and you talk about Tiger and 463 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: we're talking about Tiger walking. We're not talking about a swing. 464 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: We're talking about the comfort level sort of the course 465 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: topography here. What is different about Tiger this tournament as 466 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: opposed to Augusta. I think there's a few things. First 467 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: of all, Augusta nashvill maybe the most the hilious course 468 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: that has the most topography of any course we play 469 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: all year long. It's not flat here untilso there is 470 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: some topography here. But there's two big differences. First of all, 471 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: it's six weeks from the Masters, so's he's been able 472 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: to progress and get stronger. We saw a definite fatigue 473 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: with Tiger on the weekend and augustin Nashville. I think 474 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,360 Speaker 1: it was a miracle for a couple of things. First 475 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: of all, a miracle that Tiger played, the miracle that 476 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: he smoked his first tea shot down the middle there, 477 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: that he shot a good first round, that he made 478 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: the cut, he grinded to make the cut, and then 479 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: he finished seventy two holes. That we might have thought, 480 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 1: you know, four hundred and seven days earlier, that he'd 481 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: never played golf again. Now we're talking talking about him 482 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 1: winning a sixteenth major championship. He's practicing a lot back 483 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 1: home at the Medalist where he does, and he's been 484 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: walking those rounds, so he's fitter. You look at his 485 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 1: upper body now, he looks like he could play linebacker 486 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: on any team. He's incredible. And one of the things 487 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: we showed last night then is his increase in swing speed. 488 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: You know, one of the things that players always look 489 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: at his swing speed with the driver in particular, and 490 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: then the driver at the ball speed, at his ball speed. 491 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: Since he first came back to playing with the son 492 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: Charlie at the PNC Father Child Tournament, is he really 493 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 1: has increased his swing speed at his ball speed. And 494 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 1: if you looked at the tracers from his practice yes esterday, 495 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 1: his driver is going so so straight. I think he's 496 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 1: really going to contend. And interestingly, in two thousand and seven, 497 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: when he won the last round, he only hit three 498 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: drivers because he was so afraid to hit driver. And 499 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: now he's really confident in the drivers. So I think 500 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 1: you're going to see it a Tiger Woods. It's really 501 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: going to be able to be in contention this week. 502 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: You've got a favorite John Daily story? I have a few. 503 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: I went to a restaurant in New York City. Oh, 504 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: this is seven eight years ago with all my family, 505 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: all my kids and I went to a restaurant and 506 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: they had a drink on the men who called the 507 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: John Daily. And I asked the waiter who to me? 508 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: And this is maybe biased if he didn't look like 509 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: a golfer. This waiter, let me just put this. I said, 510 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: who's John Daily? And he goes, he's a fat retired 511 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: golfer and I laughed. I thought that was a funny comment, 512 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: Like you're laughing. That's what I did. My mistake was 513 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 1: I tweeted that and I thought it was funny. Oh 514 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 1: and I got a call from the tour and John 515 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: was very upset. And I had a nice relationship with John, 516 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: but he had told me his fans were upset that 517 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: I did that. It was probably a mistake because you 518 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: know when you hear something when you laugh. It doesn't 519 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: sound the same in print, but that was a pretty 520 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: bad move of my heart. I learned a lot then. 521 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: Good to talk to you. I hope you haven't fun. 522 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: It certainly looks like it, and I've enjoyed the insight 523 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: on a golf channel. Well, Dan, I am having fun. 524 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: I will tell you one thing that Rich Learner and 525 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,479 Speaker 1: Brandy Shambley are the most prepared to golf analysts in 526 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: the game, without a doubt. Rich writes all of his openings, 527 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: everything that he says on camera, he does himself. And 528 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: there's nobody with a mind in the golf world like 529 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: Brandy Shanbley. He's got a brain like a steel trap. 530 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 1: He remembers everything, everything, And I'm happy to sit next 531 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: to them. And I love talking about golf. I've been 532 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: doing a whole my whole life. Thank you, safe travels. 533 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: Great to talk to you again, Brad. Great to see 534 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: I love listening to you. Thanks. That's Brad Faction PGA 535 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: golfer one time, one eight times on tour. Yeah po 536 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: Now a lot of people have said this before on 537 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: social media. Brad facts and if you google him you'll 538 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: see the picture on a scale of one to ten. 539 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: How much does he look like he'd be Tony Hawk's 540 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: slightly older brother. Ten? Yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah, that's a ten. Yeah, 541 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: slightly older brother, that's a ten. I remember playing golf 542 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: with Brad and Rhode Island with Billy Andred and they 543 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: had a charity event and I remember, you know when 544 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: you play with a pro, like it's one thing you 545 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: play with a really good player, and then you play 546 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: with the pro and then you go, oh my god, 547 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: like you think you could hit it as far as 548 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: they do, or you hit shots and you go ah 549 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: about that. You know, then they rattle one off of 550 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: the stick and you know it. Brad Faxson's one of 551 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,239 Speaker 1: the great putters ever. Guys come to him. I think 552 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: Rory asking for some help with putting. Yes, he is it, 553 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: and I think you just hit on it. Actually what 554 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: I was gonna ask. But is it more noticeable in 555 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: one area of the game, like off the tea or 556 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: is the big differentiator between a pro and then somebody 557 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: who thinks they're good putting that kind of thing? Is 558 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: it just more noticeable in one area? I think the 559 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: sound of the ball when they hit a drive, when 560 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: you go, oh wow, that sounds different because I played 561 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: with Justin Leonard, and Justin Leonard I think had just 562 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: one on the British Open, and I remember being in 563 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: Dallas and playing around to golf. Now, I hit it 564 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: further than Justin Leonard did, and I was feeling pretty cocky, 565 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: and I remember that he was like one hundred and 566 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: fifty yards out and he knocked it like within two feet. 567 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: He goes, That's that's where I make my money. It 568 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: was just it was so subtle because you know, I'm 569 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: probably out driving him by ten yards fifteen yards, and 570 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: I'm going, okay, mister British Open. And then he got 571 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: up there and added one hundred and fifty yards out. 572 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: I think it hit an eight iron like two feet away. Goes, 573 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: That's that's where I'm making my money. I go, okay. Meanwhile, 574 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: I limp home with it, you know, with a bogey man. 575 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: He has a birdie. And it was just the difference. 576 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: The difference is when they need to their window of 577 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: opportunity is really small. It's like a hula hoop with me, 578 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: just get it on the green, but that that ability 579 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: to be able to dial it in uh, and the 580 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: sound that they make when they swing because they're swinging 581 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty miles an hour. Yeah. I remember 582 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,719 Speaker 1: we did something a long time ago with a really 583 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: good golfer named rich Beam, remember being he was probably 584 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: what about five six, No, he's probably a little taller. 585 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: He'll say he's five eight one fifty. Yeah, but I 586 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: remember watching the club it was was making that whipping 587 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: sound and he would hit the ball three mm. Jargy, like, 588 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: how can that small person do that? You can be 589 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: around these guys like Charles Howel the third looks like 590 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: he's about six foot one fifty, will Zalaturus looks like 591 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: he weighs about one hundred and fifty pounds, But they 592 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 1: crush it and it's all about the angles and how 593 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: you use the ground and you just generate all that 594 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: clubhead speed. That's the difference, Like when you're around Dustin 595 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: Johnson and you go, wow, that's that's fast. And he's 596 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: got so much arc on his swing. Davis Love. I 597 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: remember we were on the same tea in a celebrity 598 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: event and I hit mine and I thought I hit it, 599 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: you know, well, probably two seventy five something like that, 600 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: And then he got up there and made it look 601 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: so easy and probably hit A three thirty and I went, 602 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 1: I said, what's the difference? He goes, I'm professional and 603 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: you're not. I go, Okay, thank you, Davis. Well take 604 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: a break.

Goofy a guest that 626 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 1: we had, and I just looked up and I saw 627 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: the Kareem Abdul Jabbar was in the Old Man Cave. 628 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: Think about that sentence, and I just go, I'm playing 629 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 1: one on one with Kareem and I've got Kareem in 630 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 1: the man cave that's above a bar that I go 631 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: to that I made this studio out of in a 632 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 1: small town in Connecticut, and there's Kareem guarding me at 633 00:34:56,160 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: the top of the key. Best best guess? How about 634 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: how about most surreal moment in the man Cave? The 635 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: Old Man Cave? To me, I got one that surpasses 636 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:15,320 Speaker 1: even Kareem, even though Kareem there having somebody seven feet 637 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 1: there guarding you and limited space that we had in there, 638 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to get a shot off against Kareem. Todd, 639 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 1: I'll start with you. I think I know your answer. 640 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: I don't want to steal it, but something about Senator 641 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: McCain showing up all right, Senator McCain when he came in, 642 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: was pretty cool. He was sick. He was going to 643 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,879 Speaker 1: join us in New York. He couldn't. He said, I'll 644 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: make it up to you. And then he flew into Hartford, 645 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: drove down to go just to make sure that he 646 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: would go to the man Cave. And I remember I 647 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: gave him DP show gear and he wrote me a 648 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: check personal check. He said, I can't. I can't take it. 649 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 1: You know, it's only like there was a limit of 650 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 1: how much you can take. And he wrote me a check. 651 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 1: I never cashed it. I still have it. I just 652 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,799 Speaker 1: I didn't want to cash it. Uh, Seaton most surreal moment. Yeah. 653 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 1: John McCain was actually the first name that came to 654 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 1: my mind. But who's the other? Uh? We had another 655 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: presidential canyon, John Governor. He was in play for the 656 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: president presidential nomination. Yeah, he was. And he came in 657 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,879 Speaker 1: and he had this energy of like, Okay, so here's 658 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,320 Speaker 1: what we're gonna do, right, we're gonna talk about this 659 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 1: and then we're gonna another day. Come on over here. 660 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,399 Speaker 1: And he just kind of came in and was like whoa, 661 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 1: this's whirling dervish. He was. He wanted to lead the conversation. Yeah, 662 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,839 Speaker 1: and he had some thoughts about Cleveland sports, Ohio sports. Uh, 663 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,280 Speaker 1: Paulie Mine was going to be Senator McCain. I remember 664 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: looking at the window and seeing him standing outside like 665 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 1: this gentleman was very close to being the President United States. 666 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: He's American hero to many people, and he's he's a 667 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 1: legendary American politician. He's walking up our back stairwell, which 668 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: looked like a looked like a back of our fraternity house. 669 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,920 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna go with um. I think I know 670 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 1: when you might go with Will Ferrell, but like I'm 671 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 1: gonna go Bob Cosas wearing jeans. That's a little off 672 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: the board there. When Bob Costas walked into at the 673 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: University of Texas sweatshirt and okay, and he had a 674 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 1: sweatshirt and jeans one and that was a little surreal 675 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: to me, it was. But but Will Farrell came in 676 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,839 Speaker 1: as Ron Burgundy, and you know, he had the outfit on, 677 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 1: and I mean, he was full character. And he said, look, 678 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 1: I'd like to come in and because the Anchorman two 679 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 1: was coming out, and he said, you know, I'd like 680 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: to come in and to the man Cave. And I 681 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 1: remember going, I don't know if I can pull this off. 682 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,719 Speaker 1: Because he wanted to do three hours as Ron Burgundy, 683 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 1: and I said, how about we do two hours? And 684 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,799 Speaker 1: he came in and he was great, But but I 685 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: had to address him as Ron Burgundy, not Will Farrell 686 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,879 Speaker 1: because he stayed in character. Yeah. Eton, we didn't get 687 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:52,760 Speaker 1: nominated for a Sports Emmy that year. Nothing, zippo. Yeah, yeah, 688 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 1: anybody else come to mind. We had a lot of 689 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 1: people in the New York Man Cave. Yeah. Seton just 690 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,359 Speaker 1: one quick addition to the Bob Costas story that only 691 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: got better throughout the days. That same time that he 692 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 1: came into the studio, he joined us for lunch down 693 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 1: at the seven season and had a beer. He had 694 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 1: a Bud bottle Bud Heavy. I was like, this is 695 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,839 Speaker 1: my guy. He I think he did play by play 696 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 1: of flinch Ball. Yeah, he did play by play of 697 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 1: finch Ball. He had a he had a Bud Heavy 698 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,359 Speaker 1: and I was given real estate advice. It was like, 699 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 1: this is a make what this is a surreal moment. 700 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:27,720 Speaker 1: But Fritzie did flinch Ball with Ron Burgundy. That was crazy, 701 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,840 Speaker 1: Like they're just moments where you go, this is really 702 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 1: happening here this silly little show that we have. Yeah, 703 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,919 Speaker 1: I do remember John Legend had won a Grammy three 704 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 1: weeks before, and he's now he's playing Kiss on My 705 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 1: List with Fritzie on a keyboard in our studio. And 706 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 1: I had a Cassio keyboard, and I could tell that 707 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,760 Speaker 1: he wanted no part of doing it because he doesn't 708 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: use Cassio. And I just said, hey, I got a keyboard, 709 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 1: and uh, can you do a haul of notes? And 710 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 1: next thing I know, he's playing that and Fritzie's singing 711 00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,360 Speaker 1: along with him.

Dan Ode? 717 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 1: Not exactly, Atticus Finch checking in. I hope everyone's good. Yeah, 718 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 1: I was actually calling yesterday about my cousin Dunney. I 719 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,400 Speaker 1: was the one that was saying it was actually realistic. 720 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: My criminal law professor in school actually showed it as 721 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,880 Speaker 1: coursework for us saying that it was the most realistic 722 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 1: portrayal of criminal trial. But I wanted to ask you, 723 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 1: I'm glad you that facted on. He had some great 724 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 1: quotes about Ricky Fowler that you should look pretty scathing, 725 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 1: But have you ever played Southern Hills? And I have 726 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:57,359 Speaker 1: a pie to the face that for anyone. I think 727 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 1: Jordan's speech is going to close out the career Grand 728 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: Slam this weekend, and I'll take that against any of 729 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 1: your pick Dan or damn. All right, so Gibbs has 730 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 1: taken speeed. You get the rest of the field. Who 731 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,760 Speaker 1: wants a piece of that for a pint of the face. 732 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:19,399 Speaker 1: On the other side, I'm rooting for Jordan's speed. Well, 733 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 1: it's all right, but you're rooting for Gibbs to get 734 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 1: a pint of the face. As a betting man, I'll 735 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 1: take that bet, okay. Yeah, it feels like you're taking 736 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 1: a short thing. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna pass it makes 737 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,440 Speaker 1: it's kind of a cheap shot. It's too easy of 738 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 1: a bet. Yeah, but why would that stop you? Gibbs 739 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,400 Speaker 1: gets a pint of the face, and you hate Gibbs. 740 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 1: I dislike it, okayte, No, okay, It's like like, does 741 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 1: anybody want a piece of that? You get everybody in 742 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 1: the field. Gibbs is taking Jordan's speed. I'll jump in 743 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:57,800 Speaker 1: on that. Whoa Dan you are? That is really gutsy. 744 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: You're an incredible risk take. I do have it now. 745 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 1: I'm rooting for Jordan's space. Yes, yes, Seaton. You know 746 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:06,799 Speaker 1: the main reason I didn't jump in on that is 747 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 1: I actually think, I, oh, pies or pie. You you're 748 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 1: o to pie. I'm supposed to get smashed because of Memphis. 749 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: I took Memphis to advance in that series, right, just 750 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 1: sort of like on a whim, you get I get 751 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,040 Speaker 1: one one pie if they if they had one, and 752 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: Paul was going to get into Yeah, so I owe 753 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:29,240 Speaker 1: a pie to this day in sports history. In nineteen 754 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 1: thirty three, the first Major League Baseball All Star Game 755 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 1: was announced, as the first time baseball had an All 756 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,400 Speaker 1: Star Game. I always wondered, when I look back at 757 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: Babe Ruth stats, why he only made the All Star 758 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,920 Speaker 1: team twice in his career. Yeah, because they didn't have 759 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,279 Speaker 1: the All Star Game. They didn't have it explained a lot. 760 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,839 Speaker 1: Mickey Mantle in nineteen fifty six hit a home run 761 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 1: from the Bolt from both sides of the plate in 762 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,000 Speaker 1: one game. He'd done it three other times in his career. 763 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 1: It was on this date in two thousand and four 764 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 1: Randy Johnson through a perfect game beating the Braves. We 765 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,600 Speaker 1: had him and his catcher on the next day.

Nobody wants to play for the Sacramento Kings. 775 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,520 Speaker 1: Pay Chet Holme grin, not Chester, not Chet or Chester 776 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 1: or Chet, Sir Chet, Sir Tod.
