1
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: This is a win. Whatever happens tomorrow. It doesn't say

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: like it's going to be anything, but another day like

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: this and a good play is going to win the

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: usg I need to win every now and then put

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 1: another log on the fire. Nobody hears given time. All right,

6
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: Hello and welcome back to another Fire Drill Podcasts. It

7
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: is late Saturday evening here at the country club. We

8
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: decided to get a jump on things, so the leaders

9
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: are playing their final few holes. It has been a

10
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: war of attrition. The wind came in, the temperature dropped.

11
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: I think it's been an absolutely riveting day of golf. Ryan,

12
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: you were out there watching. What are your what are

13
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: your thoughts on on this US Open, how it's developed. Yeah,

14
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: I mean it's very cool and just to be out

15
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: there for my first time and yeah, I mean it's

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: playing very hard. Um it is. Uh, it's just cool

17
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 1: to be out there. I mean it was a great

18
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: leaderboard obviously. Um. I mean I can't wait to watch

19
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: the finish. I know some of your beloved qualifiers have

20
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: fallen off the board, but here it comes Adam Padwin.

21
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: This is definitely big boy golf. M Jeff watching H

22
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: Jeff Ogiley by the ways here Milacael Bapers on my left.

23
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: Ryan French is on my right. I should have done

24
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: that earlier. My apologies. M Jeff watching at home. What

25
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: are you see out of this golf course and the

26
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: way this tournament is shaping up for the Sunday Finnish? Yeah,

27
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's been pretty compelling, Hanna. Um looks tough

28
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 1: out there. That's kind of more fun to watch today

29
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: than it would be to play. I think um Will's

30
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: played Gride again. I mean, look, it's look, there's a

31
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: little bit of southern hills about Will out there, and

32
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: Fitch Pat Matt Fitzpatrick up there again, and Rom's hanging

33
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: in there all it looks like he's about to make

34
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: a boggy, So yeah, fun. Rory's had a tough duy

35
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: Scottie out of control there for a bit, and then

36
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: as fast as he went up, he went down. So yeah,

37
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm just compelling viewing, I guess. I mean, you spend

38
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: your life buying us opens you kind of don't really

39
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: understand sort of the joy people get to watch sort

40
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: of play a struggle. But today I've kind of enjoyed it. Michael,

41
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: how much do you love the way this course is

42
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: testing the player. It's big, jackular and you know Jeff's point,

43
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: it's not so much really seeing him struggle, it's just

44
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: seeing what what has literally been said for a hundred

45
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: years that the best golf courses will produce over seventy

46
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: Joel holes the best players, and we're seeing this, you know,

47
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: all ten names like we saw in nineteen seventy four

48
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: wing Foot, you know, when it was a murderers row.

49
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: This is a murderers row of the of the game today.

50
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: So it must say something about the quality of the

51
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: golfers and the quality of the courses and how they're

52
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: and how they're matching up. It's just couldn't be more fun.

53
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: I mean, there's some thrilling us open bogie's going on

54
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: out there, like a lot of guys making six eight

55
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: footers to save bogie, which is monumental something like this.

56
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: And I didn't think the course was set up that

57
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: much more difficult. You know, the greens are still little receptive,

58
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: but this big wind and this cold are came in

59
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: and man, that just changed everything. Yeah, it's now if

60
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: you're on the wrong side of this green, you're praying

61
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: you can tupe. You've got no chance of making there's

62
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: no bombs to be made any downhills. Six footer and

63
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: the wind looks so difficult. It just looks really really

64
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 1: hard in the appropriately hard, not like weird hard, just

65
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: appropriately hard. Yeah, Jeff. And if you rank the things

66
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: that players dislike the least from a scoring standpoint, there's brick,

67
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: hard greens, there's long rough. But where does a cold,

68
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: heavy wind fit into that? Yeah, that's pretty up there.

69
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I think if we have if we have soft,

70
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: if we have soft grains, we generally score pretty well,

71
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: even outside everything else usually, but if you have firm

72
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: grains in a wind cold wind, especially, the ball goes shorter.

73
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: Modern equipment seems to go shorter in the cold. The

74
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: temperatures set of temperature dependent a little bit. Yeah, wind

75
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: is tough, especially blustery wind, and even hitting shots sometimes

76
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: in the wind you can sort of manage. But putting

77
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: in the wind on fast grains is really really hard,

78
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: maybe the hardest thing. I know. People talk about it

79
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: a little bit, but putting in the wind, especially on

80
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: days like this, when you've got six footers and you

81
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: start really thinking, well, I really want to make this,

82
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: but I really don't want to have six feet coming back,

83
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: so you start getting defensive over puts and the balls

84
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: wobbling and you're moving around and stuff. So wind I

85
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: wouldn't say an equalizer the least preferred option for weather.

86
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: I would have thought it. If it's raining and it's

87
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: coming straight down, it's not so bad. But if it's

88
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: blowing really hard, golf gets really difficult. I mean, I'm

89
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: not sure the average fan understands how much the wind

90
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: can move a ball on the ground when there's so

91
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: little grass underneath it. Right, Because the greens that we play,

92
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: I don't feel like wind affects the puts that much.

93
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: But these things are shaped so slick, they're like there's

94
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: no friction there. How like Jeff on an eight foot

95
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: or with a this serious cross went on a really

96
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: fast green. I mean, how much can that really affect

97
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: the role of the put? Oh? I can affect it

98
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: a lot. I mean some greens are some greens to

99
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: sort of sit down below the bunkers, or they've got

100
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: some trees and stuff around, are usually okay, but there's

101
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: a lot of exposed grains around them. You could have

102
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: a dead straight part that would break from outside the

103
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: hole in a proper cross wind, for sure, And so

104
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: then it gets complicated when you've got a right to

105
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: left part and the wind's buying left to right. If

106
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: you've got a downhill put that you have to hit

107
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: really really softly if the ball's blowing. If the ball

108
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: is rolling slowly, it's going to get hit a lot

109
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: harder than if the ball is rolling fast. So there's

110
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: a lot of complications, there's a lot of guesswork, and

111
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: there's a fair bit of luck involved, I think sometimes

112
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: because gusty wind is up and down and you can

113
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: do all the calculating you want and aim at left

114
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: edge if it's blowing left edge, if you just get

115
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: if if the gust lays down, it just to go straight,

116
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: and if you get a really big gust, it breaks

117
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: more than the whole. So it's a little bit random.

118
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, when it's like this,

119
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: good putters usually hole puts. Anyway, the harder putting gets,

120
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: the better putters get further in front. Usually putting is

121
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: a headspace more than any sort of technique probably, and

122
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: great putters have great minds about putting, And yeah, I

123
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: don't know, it's tough. Is there a certain kind of

124
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: putting stroke that lends itself to putting better in windy

125
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: conditions like this, you would think, I mean, I mean

126
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: the sort of snetcer thing, which is the extreme end

127
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: of the scale, the really sort of short, firm, sort

128
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: of poppy thing he puts incredibly well on poor greens

129
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: and in poor conditions. But yeah, just that solid looking stroke,

130
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: you know, the big wavy ben crunchhaor thing. I'm sure

131
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: he putt a grain in the wind. I'm not picking

132
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: on bend, but like that big sort of Laura Roberts

133
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: ben crunch or that really slow thing probably doesn't work

134
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: quite as well. But modern modern putters are a lot

135
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: bigger and a lot heavier than they used to be.

136
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: A lot of mallets is a lot more weight in

137
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: putters than they used to be. So the putter, probably

138
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: the stroke is probably less important than just as I said,

139
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: the attitude towards putting the patients. If if your ball

140
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,239
Speaker 1: blows offline or it's wobbling when you hit it and stuff,

141
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: you just gotta have patience and realize that it's happening

142
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: to everyone, and you're gonna mike some and you're gonna

143
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: miss some I love all that. It's so it's so

144
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: insider you Ryan, what did you think the vibe out there?

145
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: Because I feel like the crowds there were significantly larger

146
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: than the first two rounds. I don't think they sold

147
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: more tickets or or what happened, but I feel like

148
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: a major uptick in the energy and and and the vibe.

149
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: What was your take? Yeah, definitely better. Uh, some more

150
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: people drinking, so funnier crowds that had some energy. There

151
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: was chance going on. I mean it was, I mean

152
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: what I would expect from a Boston crowd. It was.

153
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun out there. And they're

154
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: really adopting, of course, as they would Keegan Bradley uh

155
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: as one of their own. And that's part of the

156
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: greatness of Boston. That's part of the greatness of the

157
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,119
Speaker 1: Open is that you know, at any open, Uh, they'll

158
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: suddenly be a crowd favor And I would say it

159
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: right now for sure it's Keegan Bradley. Oh, no question.

160
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: Did you hear anything funny out there? Yeah? John Ram

161
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: got called chunky but handsome. Um, I mean there's always

162
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm always amazed that people like are so

163
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: dedicated to like just yelling at another adult. You know,

164
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: it's just like what the hell are you doing? Like, okay,

165
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: you want to like go John? I mean I was

166
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: walking on four and John Ram was like here to

167
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: the camera away from us and go John, Go John,

168
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: over and over and over and over and over again.

169
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: And John is like just looking straight ahead and just

170
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: like I mean there's no way Jeff can maybe tell us,

171
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: but like there's no way that doesn't annoy the shit

172
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: out of you. Like okay, dude, I got it. Seven,

173
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: let's joke. Let's go John to go, And the discipline

174
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: not to even look over there, just like that's impressive.

175
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: I mean, how much at a big tournament, Jeff, when

176
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: the fans are well lubricated and getting rowdy, Like, how

177
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: can that really affect a player and get in their

178
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: head and irritate them? Or how easy is it to

179
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: drown that out? I mean, well, like in Boston and

180
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: New York, it's very hard to drown out. Phoenix would

181
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: be another one too. Look, it's fun if it's in

182
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: a good spirit. I think I think most guys enjoy

183
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: the good spirit. I think when it flips a little negative,

184
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: I think guys that can really get under their skin. Um,

185
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: it's fun. I mean, Phoenix can be one or the other.

186
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: You know, in New York, I think's the best place

187
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: that if you if there's if there's a guy doing

188
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: that and they yell loud. In New York and Boston's

189
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: probably pretty similar. If you turn around and acknowledge them,

190
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: they get happy and then they get quiet. You know,

191
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: they just want to be acknowledged. I'm here, Yeah, you're

192
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: you're part of this show, like, well done, thanks, riding

193
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: on and then just quiet and down place. Um, look,

194
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's tough. They get very loud. You

195
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: understand that they're having fun. But if it's positive, I

196
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: think it's great. If it gets negative, it gets a

197
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: bit aggravating. Yeah. One of the other stories in my

198
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: book at All is Amazes Me win at the Atlanta

199
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: Athletic Club when Michelson two thousand one PG Championship against

200
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: David Thoms and gets down to the seventieth hole. He's

201
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: got this long part and some fans yelled, uh something

202
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: about the break. Phil. It's it's really slow put you know,

203
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: and on some level the fans know what they're talking about.

204
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: If you camp out around a green for an hour

205
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: or two and you see a lot of putts and

206
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: you're you're a golfer. You can kind of get a

207
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: fuel for it, like you have some information. And Phil said,

208
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: like he heard it and it hit his subconscious and

209
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: so he hit his putt harder. It went eight feet by,

210
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: he missed the comebacker, and in a lot of ways

211
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: it cost him the PG championship. I give him credit

212
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: for actually saying it and being honest about it, But

213
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: I mean, is that a thing, Jeff, where like fans

214
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: will will shout out information that might or might not

215
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: be relevant, and like has it ever affected you? Absolutely? Um? Yeah, absolutely,

216
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: Like Brake's left, Jeff. It Brake's left, Jeff. And then

217
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: you sort of think, well, I know it breaks left,

218
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: but does it make more than I left? More than

219
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: I think? And now I hit it high, and now

220
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: you don't want to miss it left, because then they're

221
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: all going to get into your saying, I told you're

222
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: broke left, so you may be hitting a bit too high.

223
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: And yeah it's I mean, they like you're right. They do.

224
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: They've been watching pots old eye and may people have

225
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: been missing it left old eye. Then they're just trying

226
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: to help all, as I said, to be part of

227
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: the show or whatever. But then you start thinking, well,

228
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: if I miss it left, they're just going to give

229
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: me the I tell just so, so I better give

230
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: it a bit more than I can see. And maybe

231
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying what it was anyway, And yeah, it's um it.

232
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: Generally it happens a few times. You generally get pretty

233
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: good at drowning it out and just doing your own thing,

234
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: but you certainly listen, and it certainly happens a lot, Yeah, Jeff.

235
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,599
Speaker 1: When the USJ committee meets side to side on the

236
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: course setup, they have of course an idea of what

237
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: they want for Sunday, probably going months back. To what

238
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: degree would they adjust at all in terms of actual

239
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: position tea markers, actual position of the whole at what

240
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: point to what degree would they make late weak adjustments,

241
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: if at all, depending on whether leaderboard or otherwise, I

242
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: don't know. I think the USGA is probably pretty set.

243
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: I hope they're fluid with the weather forecast. They have

244
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: sort of contingency sort of ideas. Certainly, t I think

245
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: tea positions would be pretty fluid depending on conditions the pins.

246
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: As you said, they probably decided that three years ago

247
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 1: where they were going to put the pins, you know,

248
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: during the week, and hopefully there's contingencies for crazy winds

249
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: and stuff. I would have feel like the USG has

250
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: a sort of organization that wouldn't have contingency plans for that.

251
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,599
Speaker 1: I mean, Augusta certainly is very Augusta certainly seems to

252
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: move the course around depending on the week. You know,

253
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: they seem to set the course up each day as

254
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: appropriate to how it's playing and how it went the

255
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: day before. USGA. I don't know. I think Matis probably

256
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: can move around a little bit, but I think the

257
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: pins are probably set in stone. I would that would

258
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: be my guests. Hopefully there's contingency, but I don't know. Well,

259
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: tomorrow will be interesting because the highest forecast now for

260
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 1: fifty nine. It's gonna be cold, and you know, we

261
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: saw a big wind blow through here. You know, I

262
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: feel like they've not really pushed this course that hard.

263
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: You know, we're talking about they put water on the

264
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 1: greens yesterday, so cold weather. Could they would they tip

265
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: it out and really like let's make this a allbuster

266
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: or are they afraid of going too far in one direction?

267
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: So I think we'll get some of the some of

268
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: the answer to your question tomorrow. Michael. Yeah, how tough

269
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: they set up knowing that it's gonna it might be

270
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. We've got one or

271
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: two guys under part exactly, so um as we're sitting here.

272
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick just Birdie the seventeenth hole. He's a solo leader

273
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: at five under. And he's a really interesting case. Like

274
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: you know, he's always been known just greedy, grinder on

275
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 1: dangerous on tough courses, didn't hit it far enough to

276
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: be a serious contender. But over the last couple of years,

277
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: like he's embraced the stack system. He's added excuse me,

278
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: a lot of horsepower and a lot of speed, and

279
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: like he's hitting it really far for a guy his size. Now,

280
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: I mean, Jeff, can you talk about a similar evolution?

281
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: I mean, how hard is that for a short hitter

282
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 1: to become an above average hitter? And when you have

283
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: that skill set like he has and then you add

284
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: another whatever ten fifty twenty yards, Like, how dangerous does

285
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 1: that does that make a guy like Matt Fitzpatrick. Oh yeah,

286
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: I mean he's the real deal now. And he was

287
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: quite short when I first played with him, and I

288
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 1: thought he was going to struggle at big courses. But yeah,

289
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: he's got longer. I don't know he used to. I

290
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: think it's a lot easier than it used to be.

291
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: I think the science is really good now. I think

292
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: golf has been overscienced from a playing perspective in most areas.

293
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: But I think the physical stuff like that, the sort

294
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: of sort of fine tuning the gym programs, and the

295
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: sort of the light clubs and the heavy clubs and

296
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: the speed stuff that people do, I think is pretty

297
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: good now. I think there used to be whenever someone

298
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: chased a bit of distance, it was usually that was

299
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: the end of their career and they would go off

300
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: the wrong way. But I think now it seems to

301
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: be pretty well worked out. Everybody's doing it. I mean,

302
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit sort of overrated just

303
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: gaining more distance. You still need to make parts of chip,

304
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: and Tiger won all the major hitting two arms off

305
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: the tea and stuff, so I still think it's a

306
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: fraction overrated, but it's a much It's a much more

307
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: exact science now, and there's a much better understanding of

308
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: how to create speed without trashing your golf game and equipment,

309
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: so you can you can do so much more with

310
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: equipment set up now to maximize what you're doing. Whereas

311
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: before it was just find the best club you could

312
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: and work out to hit that one far. Now you

313
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: can really sort of there's so many shafts and so

314
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: many head options, and so many weights you can do

315
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: in the club, and so many different things that they've

316
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: learned R and D wise with drivers and golf balls

317
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: that it sort of compliments the physical stuff you're doing.

318
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: That's that's fascinating, Jeff, because it seems to me, if you're,

319
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: if you're really really good at golf, you'd much rather

320
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: change your shaft in your head than change your body.

321
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: Because you've change your body, your swing is going to

322
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: have to change as well as you saw a tiger

323
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: as you soon braced Shambo and Rory, lots of people

324
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: over the years. But if you're just used the shaft

325
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: in the head, it's more organic with it. Would that

326
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: be largely a accurate or Yeah? And I think and

327
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: I think, look, a lot of it is confidence too.

328
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: Like when you feel confident with a golf say a driver,

329
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: you're trying to hit it far. When you feel confident

330
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: with the driver, you just hit it harder. You just

331
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: do because you feel better about it. And if you

332
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: feel that the driver's going a bit skewy, you start

333
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: slowing down because you're just not sure where it's going

334
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: to go. So there's a lot to that. There's a lot.

335
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: It's a lot more of an exact science getting drivers

336
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: into people's hands, and there's more of an understanding of

337
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: sort of what stuff will allow you to sort of

338
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: see the shape that you want. If you see the

339
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: shape that you want in the ball flight that you want,

340
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: you get more confident. So you just naturally hit it

341
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: harder anyway because you're more confident. So that all sort

342
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: of compliments that the physical stuff you're doing. So I

343
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: think it's it's pretty well understood now. It seems to

344
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: be all the attention in golf the last sort of

345
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: ten years has gone on how to get guys to

346
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: hit it further. And when you get smart minds on things,

347
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: good things usually happen. I still think, as I said,

348
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: I still think it's a fraction overrated. But for a

349
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: guy like Matt, it was probably necessary to compete on

350
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: the big on the big courses because he's got every

351
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: other every other part of the game. So he gains

352
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: ten or fifteen yards, he's going to be He's pretty dangerous. Right.

353
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: He reminds me of the bastall player who's got all

354
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: the skills and then all of a sudden he grows

355
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: like eight inches one summer and he's like, now he's

356
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: he's the best player on the court. Like it's really interesting. Um, Ryan,

357
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: Adam Hadwin just finished office round. He's tied for third.

358
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: He seems like, you're kind of guy. Yeah, I mean

359
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: he's had some success. He's not I mean, he's he's

360
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: a nice dude. He's not really a like a grinder.

361
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: I mean he's done pretty well. Yeah, I mean, Ryan,

362
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: can I ask you, what do you mean he is

363
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: or isn't grinders? The greatest grinder in the history of

364
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: golf is Tiger Woods. So what exactly? So my my, yeah,

365
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: I mean obviously he grinds. I think Tiger grinds the greatest.

366
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 1: But a grinder is like Hayden Buckley, like wasn't supposed

367
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: to be here? Who says, So you're you're using it

368
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: as an adjective or a noun. He's using it as

369
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: a genre. He's talking about scrappy dude coming from the

370
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: minor leagues. I understand. Yeah, to me, a grinder or

371
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: someone like they are so desperate to stay in this game,

372
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: they will do whatever they have to do, hopefully within

373
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: legal bounds, to stay in the game. I totally agree,

374
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: except they don't have the talent that Tiger has. I'm

375
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 1: not I'm not discounting that Tiger was grinded Tiger Tiger,

376
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: but you know, Buckley, grind off the charts and talent

377
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: off the charts. You got Tiger Woods. We've never seen

378
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: anything like it. Hayden Buckley like what you know, I mean,

379
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: obviously very talented, but like has to work harder or

380
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: as hard, doesn't have the skills to do it. So

381
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: he's he might win one or two PJA two events

382
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: in his entire life. I see some of our colleagues

383
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: eating pizza. What's up with that? Do you think pie

384
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: is being served? Yes? Stay focused, Michael, oh, yes, say?

385
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: Can I ask a question for all three of you? Jensen,

386
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, and when Jeff first came on too, of

387
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: course this wasn't the case. These major seasons are short

388
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: and intense, and this year in particularly to go from

389
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: augustin National Scottish Shuffler, a Great PJA Championship at Southern Hills,

390
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: a great US Open here, and then we're going to

391
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: the Old Course. There are no bad opens up the

392
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: Old Course. What do you all think about? You know, April, May, June,

393
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: July bam bam, bam bam, and then we're out. I

394
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: like it. I mean, it's kind of it's just like

395
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: you get into this rhythm and then you throw the

396
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: players in there in March too. Yeah, you just have

397
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: kind of a five month run, four month run that

398
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: really defines the whole golf season. And then then you

399
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: come into the FedEx Cup and we don't care about

400
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: that much, but it kind of puts a cherry on

401
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: top of the whole year. And now we get some

402
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: live events. And now we got live Jeff, how do

403
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 1: you feel about a jest? But a lot of these

404
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: guys are excited about the live events run. Yeah. True. Wow. Look,

405
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: it's making it's making room for the other half of

406
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: the year. And it's like if you get a role

407
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: in the first half of the year and then there's

408
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: room to do other stuff in the other half of

409
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 1: the year. Maybe the players are the best part about

410
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: it is the players in March is so much better

411
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: than in May. It's yes, it's just not even close

412
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: for me. Yeah, and that the PAGI is weird, I

413
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: think in my it takes a while to get used

414
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: to still for me, sure for you guys too, but

415
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: it feels like this is the one after the Masters.

416
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: Still to me, in my head, I sort of forget

417
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: the PGA has been on already just because it was

418
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: forever the last one and I don't know the PGA.

419
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: There was something about it being the last one, like

420
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: when it's buried in the middle, it's going to get it,

421
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: it's not going to be there. There was a coolness

422
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: about it. Was like the last shot for the year, right,

423
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 1: the last chance. That was it. That was it sales pitch.

424
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: But like the the cadence of them now is perfect, right,

425
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,239
Speaker 1: you have one, you have a month off, you have one,

426
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: you have a month off, you have one, you have

427
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: a month off. It kind of it's nice. It's a

428
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: nice sort of rhythm to the season. Yeah, it kind of.

429
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: I think we can all agree that PGA is always

430
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: going to be for the most people's rankings of the majors.

431
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: Um so in some ways. I hear you're saying, Jeff,

432
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: it was almost a little bit of a letdown in

433
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: the end with the PG. But to end with the

434
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: major season, the open at Saint Andrew's, I mean that's

435
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: a plus plus, Like it's a little better exclamation point

436
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: I think on that whole part of the schedule. Yeah,

437
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: before we go too far, afueld from Adam had when

438
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: I just want to point out that he met his

439
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: now wife on tinder Um while he was traveling the

440
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: tour which this week. This week, the Wichita event is

441
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: on the corn Ferry tour. This week he met his wife.

442
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: This is their anniversary X amount of years ago in

443
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: uh at the corn Ferry event. What what a what

444
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: a story that'll be? Yeah, So I'll tho us out

445
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: to you Ryan and to you Jeff. We don't have

446
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: to say any names. If you want to offer initials

447
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: or other identifying details, that's why. But what are the

448
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: best stories we've heard about players hookups on the road.

449
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: It just seems Jermaine, given Hadwin's lofty position on on

450
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: the leaderboard, don't be shy, Jeff, go ahead, I don't know.

451
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: Wis Hilton head back in the good old days. That

452
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: was always a the punning grind of hilton Heads always

453
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: been a pretty good hunting ground for the boys. Um, look,

454
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I know Adam really well. Um, and

455
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: she's great, Jessica, right, yeah, Yeah, the fact that they

456
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: met on Tinder does not mean she can't be great.

457
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a little bit of judgment in

458
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: that comment there, Jeff, there was no judgment. That's how

459
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: it's done. That's how it's done these days. You don't

460
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: camp out at the bar anymore. You just you just

461
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: found them off the thing. There's a few, quite a

462
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: few boys who have brought out them. I mean they

463
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: get the dms set to them on Instagram and they

464
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: just basically picked from a bunch of good choices and

465
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: out they come for a few weeks and off they

466
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 1: go and then another one comes out. So there's been

467
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: a few of play that game for a while. It's

468
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: a different it. Look, it's a different world now. It

469
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: used to be hard work. You used to have to

470
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: put all afternoon at hilton Head, but now you can

471
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: just sit on your phone. Yeah, Strokes game putty really

472
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: changed the week after the Masters, for sure, Ryan, come

473
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: on the greedy minor leagues. You must have some stories.

474
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: Latin American tour gentleman met a fine Colombian woman and

475
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: brought her back to the hotel. There was a knock

476
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: on the door and it was her husband, and he

477
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: ran out of the Uh. He jumped out of the

478
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: first It was on the first floor, the window. He

479
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: had none of his clothes, his yardage book was in there. Everything.

480
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: Uh it was. It was a bad situation, mostly first

481
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: golf because his yardage book was it was fine. He escaped,

482
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: but uh, I mean, Jeff will tell you, without your

483
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: yardage book and all the notes, shit's going sideways. Like

484
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: he never went back to his hotel room. He just

485
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: like abandoned the plano was her hotel room. It was

486
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: her hotel rooms. That's an important piece of all Right,

487
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: this begs a lot of questions. We're gonna We're gonna

488
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: save those for another podcast. I feel like this could

489
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: be an entire podcast that would be amazing if we

490
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: could get Jeff to be like unfiltered about stories he's heard.

491
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: Oh man, oh man, can we get Tiger on here?

492
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: Jeff Michael Michael ast Jeff, I mean, ask of Tiger

493
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: if we can get him on here and tell some stories.

494
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: I'll go to Steinberg and he'll go yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

495
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. I'm I'm sure we'll get it. Yes. But

496
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: has Tiger ever done a podcast? I don't think he

497
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: has he ever been a guest on a podcast, not

498
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: that I don't think, so let's ask. I mean, that's

499
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: actually unbelievable. The first person ever gets a Tiger here,

500
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: he comes, Tiger, come on in, right, I mean, in

501
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,959
Speaker 1: this day and age, that like every player's done podcast.

502
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: That's just the thing. Jeff along along the lines where

503
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: you were saying a minute ago. Uh, Alan knows this

504
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 1: very well. But Alan and I had a Boston him

505
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: Jim Harry for years at Sports Illustrated, and he was

506
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: like a savant for story ideas, and and Jeff Maggert

507
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: had won some big event and I think a million dollars, well,

508
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: probably the Tour Championship, and and Harry said, there's no

509
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: way this guy is this boring. Go see the guy

510
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: and see what he's up to. So went and saw

511
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: Jeff Maggert I think at the UH at one of

512
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: those events outside DC when the Kemper Open was there,

513
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: and we talked about a sex life. For about three

514
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: hours on the record. That was interesting. Absolutely did you

515
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: wrote the story? Oh it's a classic. We're just talking

516
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: about this last night at dinner. And not only did

517
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: Jeff talk in great vivid detail about sex life, Michael

518
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: also interviewed his his ex wife his new wife like

519
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: it was utterly fasting that all these people just told

520
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: you everything. And the mother who said he seems for

521
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: a while like he was dealing with depression issues, but

522
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 1: not anymore. I'm making that last part of it. I

523
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 1: don't want to depression issues, because he did have depression

524
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: issues according to the letter. He's a complicated, interesting guy.

525
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: But man alive, did he hit the golf ball straight?

526
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure you built a lot with him? What an exit?

527
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just trying what he just wants to jail.

528
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: And the whole thing, Jeff Magger hit the ball straight

529
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: or stop at Michael is ridiculous. And Brian, here's another guy, Ryan,

530
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: just so you know, here's another guy who hit a

531
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: really straight Brian Gay, Well, what about his sex life?

532
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: That's not um. Although Brian Gay I saw him at

533
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: a when justin Timberlake first became the who in Las Vegas,

534
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: there was a great concert where I went to it,

535
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: Like fifty cent was there and a bunch of other

536
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: big name people get got up and jammed with Timberlakes.

537
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: One of the best concerts ever and all the tour

538
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: players turned out because I got tickets. And I thought

539
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: Brian Gages is boring. Dude. He showed up and he

540
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: was in like snay skin boots, skin tight jeans, like

541
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 1: this black leather shirt. There was like unbuttoned to his

542
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: belly button. I was like, clearly, Brian Gay is more

543
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: interesting than I thought. And that led to a whole

544
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: big story. And I've always loved Brian Gay and Kimberly

545
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: his bride. And if you see Brian Gay when you

546
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: go to the Dylan show in a couple of weeks

547
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: in Santa Cruz, you better write that up. I will

548
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: write that up. And if he wears that same outfit

549
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: to Dylan and Santa Cruz, it will not fly. Well,

550
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: yeah that I am going to Dylan next week. I

551
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: refused to let go that we had. We transitioned from

552
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: Jeff Maggert's sex play for three Hours to House Trady

553
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: hits the Ball. Hey, no one cares about how straight

554
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: Jeff it's a family podcast, right. I still when you

555
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: rank the most mortifying ways to loser major championship, like

556
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: blowing like a two and a half of put pot,

557
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 1: like Scott Hope, that's on the list. Um to Chip Chen, Yeah, yeah,

558
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: to Chip Chen signing the incorrect scorecard. Uh, like Devin

559
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: Devin Senzo Like but Jeff Maggert when he joined himself

560
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: in the chest at Augusta, I remember he was that

561
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: fairway bunker. Was that maybe on five? Ye? Like? Uh,

562
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: maybe earlier in the round earlier it was three three,

563
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: he was on three? Like were you playing with him? Remember?

564
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: Do you think now that the rules changed, he's super

565
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 1: pissed off about it. No, it's just much a gentleman

566
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: for that. A guy named Bill Campbell is a former

567
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: person in USJA. Spent fifty years of his life trying

568
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: to get that rule changed. He died and they changed it.

569
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: But it was a bad rule. I mean, you got

570
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: two shots for hitting yourself coming on. I mean, this

571
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: is this is why I questioned my my space on

572
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: this podcast is things like that. I mean, I don't

573
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: even know who that guy is, and like, I mean,

574
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 1: but what do we know about some of your players?

575
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: And we're all educating each other here. Ryan, Um, all right,

576
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: let's try and bring this back to the issue at hand.

577
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: Here we've gone very far afield. But this is the

578
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: United States Open Championship. Yeah, we're heading into the final round.

579
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: It's it's an A plus leaderboard. Yep. Um. We know

580
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be cold. We don't know how Windi's gonna

581
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: be tomorrow. They're such a lurker. It's so obvious. Sam

582
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: Burns absolutely Alan still got it. Well. I mean, he

583
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: struts around like he's already won five US Opens, like

584
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: the guy has one of the all times struts. I

585
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: will say Rory McElroy is playing an extremely impressive round

586
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: because he's got nothing, but he is grinding so hard

587
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: and he's made some great bogies. He's made some great

588
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: start three and now he's won. Yeah yeah, but I

589
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: mean he looks like he's shooting eighties. So if Rory

590
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: he's still got three more holes to go as we

591
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: tape this, if you can get in the barn like

592
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: Jeff knowing what you know, what would you hazard? Will

593
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: be the winning score tomorrow? Oh, it's gonna be called.

594
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be any better than four unders it

595
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, I would sell two yeah something, yeah, yeah,

596
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,959
Speaker 1: which means anyone who's at plus one even plus two

597
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: that they go out early and you know, shooted or

598
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,479
Speaker 1: sixty six would been unbelievable. Round sixty seven would be incredible,

599
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: like Dustin Johnson's plus two if he goes out and

600
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,719
Speaker 1: just you know, free wheels a little bit because he's

601
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: just far enough out of the league, like uh, you

602
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,959
Speaker 1: never know. But you know, it's amazing about this board top,

603
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: you know from the name, so we can see right

604
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: here and this is a total compliment to the US Open,

605
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: no flash, all substance. You know, that's true right down

606
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: the list, and it's it's it's great to see him.

607
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: You know, as we've said many times, you know, how

608
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: did Chad Campbell not when you know a US Open?

609
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: How did Jeff Maggert not want to use Open? But

610
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: there is a type of golf that wins US Opens

611
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: and every one of these guys, no, no, John bram

612
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: is a super mega talent, but he's still oh he's

613
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,479
Speaker 1: a grinding mold. Yeah, he's like every which way to Sunday,

614
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, Seby didn't fit the mold and he

615
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: never want to US Open. Yeah, you know that's not

616
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: Nick Faldo never when he US Open. That's why I believe.

617
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: I believe. Yeah, you know that Tom Kite did. Of course,

618
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: that Ben Cronshaw didn't. Of course. Yeah, some things makes

619
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: sense all that. Yeah, so this board makes sense, and

620
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: I'm happy for the USGA. I mean, I think they

621
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: think they needed a week like this. It's been a

622
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: crazy hectic year in the world and end in golf,

623
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: and it's just a delight to come here to this

624
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: old timey course and see an old timey leader board

625
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: and have this cool weather. It's just great. It's fun. Yeah,

626
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: I think we, I think all of us probably have

627
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: recognized when the USGA makes mistakes and they have their shortcomings,

628
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: like any big organization. But I think I can't speak

629
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: for Ryan, he's sort of an anarchist, but me, you

630
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: and Jeff like we appreciate the USGA that they they

631
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: are the governing force in this game and their hearts

632
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: in the right place and so so I think some

633
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: people delight when they screw up the setup and they

634
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: get to rip them, including some players and some reporters.

635
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: But I like when this is successful. He goes open

636
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: I feel a bit of re leaf almost. Yeah, when

637
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: if they shoot twenty under, if the old course is

638
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: still for four days and there's twenty under, the RNA,

639
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: guys be like, that's cool. They may not use the phrase,

640
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: but they'll be all right with it, and that's that's

641
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: great too. Is there any do you have any emotion, Jeff,

642
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: just watching this open playout with beautiful golf course, nice

643
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: set up, no controversy, great players on the board. Is

644
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: that sort of pleasing for you in some way? Yeah? Absolutely,

645
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: agree with everything you guys have said. Absolutely. It's they

646
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: need they need a win. A man, it's a good

647
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: year for a win too, right, especially at a great

648
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: course like this, great venue. It's unfolding like it's going

649
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: to be a great one. I mean, it's just it's

650
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: there's nothing worse than when they go to a place

651
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: like Shinnecock, which is one of the best courses in

652
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: the world, and yeah, they just get to it. They

653
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: just get too excited and they just just make Shinnicock

654
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: looks stupid. Like it's just incredibly annoying and frustrating. This

655
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: is a win. This is a win. Whatever happens tomorrow,

656
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like it's going to be anything but

657
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: another day like this and a good player is going

658
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: to win. Um, the USG I need to win every

659
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: now and then. Yep. I'm sticking to a Brookline police

660
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: officer today. And you know, he was here in Ada,

661
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: and he was here in ninety nine for the Ryder Cup,

662
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: and he was here. I don't know if he was

663
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: here in sixty three. Of course he's here this year.

664
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: It's like they've had nothing but good tournament. Something guy says,

665
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: and what about thirteen And he wasn't talking about the

666
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: USAM and in twenty thirteen he was talking about the

667
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: fact that they've had nothing but great US opens here

668
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: And yet you know it's not on the road to Yeah,

669
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: as you said, for the reason, you know, the follow

670
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: the money reasons. But it's a shame really. Yeah, well,

671
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: you know it's not set in stone. I mean the

672
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: USG has scheduled out a number of opens, but there's

673
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: there's some empty spot for sure. They're not they're not

674
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: books all the two thousand and fifty one or whatever,

675
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: like yeah, I mean the PGA is yeah, yeah, I

676
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: mean this has been so successful. I think there's been

677
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: so much praise, like, hopefully they'll re examine it, so,

678
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: you know, let's find a way to get back here

679
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: in a decade. Like I think that that can happen.

680
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: You know, when something exceeds expectations and people fall in

681
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: love with it and it's universally acclaim, they would would

682
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: be silly not to rethink it. Yea. Now whether like

683
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: the Club Brooklyn wants it back and um, you know

684
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: that's maybe a secondary issue, but it it would be

685
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: cool to have about do we want to do we

686
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,479
Speaker 1: want to make predictions for tomorrow? Are we that kind

687
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: of podcast? I don't think so. No, No, we're not. Okay,

688
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: all right, well let's this is a short snappy uh

689
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: fire drill. That's good. People are busy on Saturday night.

690
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,040

696
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: is the meaning of organic. That was organic. That is

697
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: the meaning we could only barely did you hear Ogilby Segue.

698
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: Did the organic cotton in the shirt? Yeah, I mean

699
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,280

00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,000
