There's a lot a 9 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,239 Speaker 1: lot going on here with Bubba Watson, who joins us 10 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: on the program before we talk about that, Bubba, if 11 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 1: you were going to play eighteen holes at Augusta and 12 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: you could only have one club, which one would you choose? 13 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: Seven iron? Have you done it before? Not at Augusta. 14 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: I've played a lot of golf with one club. I've 15 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: played with every club in my bag, even a putter, 16 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: just to see, just to try it, and then I 17 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: just enjoy having fun with golf at a golf course. So, uh, 18 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: seven hours the best club though. You can you can 19 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: hook it, you can cut it and get low high, 20 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: but you can still manage to get out of a 21 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: bunker if you need to um and you can still 22 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: play bump and runs around the Green I just feel 23 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: like that's the most subversatile club. Have you ever like? 24 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: Can you show up un announced to Augusta and play? Um? 25 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: I don't know because I always announced, But you haven't 26 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: been with your guys. And then you say, you know what, 27 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: let's just get in the car and we'll drive down 28 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: to Augusta. Now, if I'm taking guests, I have to 29 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: call and have a member with me. Um, even though 30 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: the member is like, uh, we'll say a chaperone. Yeah, 31 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: And I still have to pay for him and his 32 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: caddy and and uh and all those things. But if 33 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: I came by myself, I would still let them know, 34 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: just to give them my heads up. But I haven't 35 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: been here by myself. I always bring a guest or two. 36 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: And what what do green fees call? It's a great question. 37 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: I've been very I've been very blessed, and I haven't 38 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: checked the bill out in many many years. Wait, so 39 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: you don't know what they put on your tab? It's 40 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,119 Speaker 1: it's it's Augusta National, Man. You just play it. You'll 41 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: figure out the details later. Do you have two Green jackets? 42 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: I have one. They give you the same one, you know, 43 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 1: but you've won it twice. I've won it twice. Yes, 44 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: well that's not fair. You should be able to have 45 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: one there and one at home. Listen, I'm not gonna argue. Okay, 46 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: give me the one. I'm good. Okay, But maybe a 47 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: green robe or something like a master's green robe for home. 48 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: What do you think if you knew of a good 49 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: road place, maybe I'll just get one. Mate. I got 50 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: a robe guy. He makes them for boxers and put 51 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: Bubba on the I'm sure your wife would love that 52 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: you have Bubba on the back of your big green 53 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: robe there. How I always look being a weekend warrior. 54 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: You go from being on the range and you're like 55 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: killing it, Like you're unbelievable that walked from the range 56 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: to the first tea at Augustin. Like if you had 57 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: one of those moments where you're great on the range, 58 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: not good on the course and vice versa. Oh we 59 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: all had that, Yeah, we The golf is so mental, 60 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: you know, I mean it's physical, is what we always say, 61 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,679 Speaker 1: is what tencent nine percent mental? And yeah, you can 62 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: you can get in your own way. As we've seen golfers, 63 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: especially myself, I've gotten my own way a lot over 64 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: the years. But what happens, like, how do you explain 65 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: that where that that walk is not that far, but 66 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: it feels like it's a long distance away when you're 67 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: not playing well. It's a it's a four letter word. 68 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: It's called golf and some reason we keep signing up 69 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: for it. It makes it so mad and then we 70 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: come back and do it again. I don't know. That's 71 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: a great question. And we challenge ourselves every day trying 72 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: to get better. What's it like when you want to 73 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: hide out there? Luckily in the champions locker room you 74 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: can hide pretty good. But when you get on the 75 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: course and you're not playing well and you in your 76 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: mind you're trying to work on things, and but you 77 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: still got to play. Yeah, you're hoping that somebody else 78 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: is tearing the golf course up so they're filming them 79 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: and not you. Uh, explain to me what you're doing 80 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: with golf Clash. Yeah, it's the best game on the 81 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: on any app right now. Um, golf Clash is just 82 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: a fun game to u to waste some time to 83 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: play against buddies. Um in an easy way to do it, 84 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,799 Speaker 1: and um, you know, we started a nine whole challenge 85 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: I got my own tournament now in Golf Clash, I 86 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: got a special Bubba t um. You know, we still 87 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: have the one whole challenge, one shot challenge, and um 88 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: so we just kind of doctored it up, made it 89 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: a little bit better, and you know, it's something fun 90 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: for me to do, and some of my friends do. 91 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: And I actually played with my son a little bit. 92 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: Um So it's a it's a fun time and and 93 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: a fun thing to do. Is Augustus set up for 94 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: left handers? I don't know. Jack Nicholas did pretty well 95 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: being right handed. I think six six times he won. 96 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: Tiger's got I think five now. Yeah, so lefties are 97 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: are getting better. I think we're understanding the course a 98 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: little more. And then seeing Mike Weir and Phil Mickelson 99 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: win it obviously gave us hope. And then I've won 100 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: a couple of times and they and lefties are growing 101 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: that there's more lefties play. And there were some kids yesterday, 102 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: the age twelve and thirteen boys yesterday there was four 103 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: kids in that one age group that were left handed. 104 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: So I think the lefties are coming out of the woodwork. 105 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: More and more companies are making better equipment for lefties, 106 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,559 Speaker 1: and there's gonna be more lefties, so I guess it'll 107 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: equal out at some point. You know, lefties waiting here 108 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: as much as rights. When you were growing up just 109 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: because you're left handed, did you feel like you were 110 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: different or did people make you feel different? I think 111 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: people make me feel different. It wasn't really. I mean, 112 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: I just played golf, I just played sports. I'm left 113 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: handed in all avenues of sports, and so yeah, it's 114 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: really just people ask me about being left handed. I 115 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: didn't really think about it. I just played, um hey, 116 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: but whatever makes me stand out. I'm good with it. 117 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: Can you play right handed? Yes? But worse than you? 118 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,559 Speaker 1: Oh seriously, if we played for money and you played 119 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: right hand and I played what I normally am right handed, yeah, 120 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: I mean I could play. I can I could shoot. 121 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: You know, I'd be considered a hacker or or one 122 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: day a week guy. But you know, if I practice, 123 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: I could probably get a little bit better at it. 124 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 1: Well you know that I've played Augusta twice, Bubba. No, 125 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,799 Speaker 1: I did not know that. Yeah, man, I'm so excited. 126 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: Yeah eighty three first day, eighty one next the next day. Right, Well, yeah, 127 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: you definitely beat me. If I was right handed. Yeah, 128 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: but I also had the caddy. You caddied for Sevy 129 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: and he said, I'm going to tell you where to 130 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: hit it and do not question me, and he saved 131 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: me ten shots. So I'm good at guess because people 132 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: I when you get to the greens, like you guys 133 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: make it look really easy or easier, you get to 134 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: those greens and you're like, oh my god, like I 135 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: have no idea how to read. How long did it 136 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: take for you to feel comfortable where you kind of 137 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: knew what to do and when to do it. I'm 138 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: still not comfortable, you know. It's funny. In November, a 139 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: few months ago, the golf course played tremendously different. It 140 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: was slower, the fairways were a little softer, so it 141 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: was it changed everything we know about the course, and 142 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: if it rains in the forecast, it changes everything we 143 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: know about the course, and so we're always learning. But yes, 144 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: there's pots that you cannot believe that break a certain 145 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: way and you're like, there's no way it breaks that way. 146 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: I've had a few puts like that where I'm like, 147 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: there's no way I can trust this, And so you 148 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: miss those puts and you try to not three putts. 149 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: And also people don't realize the the the undulation with 150 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: the green. And also there's there's a lot of hills there, 151 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,239 Speaker 1: like you know there there there's more of that climb 152 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: than you really think. It feels like it's flat, but 153 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: it's not. Yeah, every shot is it's like you're on 154 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: a slope. Every shot is um a sidehill lie. And 155 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: so you're trying to uh, you know, your swings, trying 156 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: to compensate for that, trying to make the ball go 157 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: a certain way. It makes it very difficult with the 158 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: slope of the fair West. You got your watch on 159 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: right now. Always how many of those do you have? 160 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: Man um, Well, you have too many. If you don't 161 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: know how many you have, Bubba, well, I've given away. 162 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: I've given away about five. Um so I think I 163 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: got thirteen maybe fifteen at the house. So those are 164 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: you only have two risks? I mean it's you know, 165 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 1: you gotta coordinate it with your outfit, you know, like 166 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: you know, you gotta gotta MaTx this up. It's like 167 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: these it's like these rappers, as you know, they're rapping 168 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: about watches. I have them so I don't have to 169 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: wrap and who is it Richard Millie? Is that it's 170 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: Rachard mill Yes. Oh, I screwed up both of those names. 171 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: That's why I'm not in that tax bracket where I 172 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: can afford that I can get the Paddock Philippe, but 173 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: I can't get Richard Milli million.

I was watching 186 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: last night live from the Masters brand of course was 187 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 1: on there. Rich Lerner and you guys were you were 188 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: dissecting Bryson to Shambo on the driving range. I mean 189 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: that looked violent there did it? Did it look violent 190 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: to you? And what do you expect about him in 191 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: this week? You know his clubhead speed the other night 192 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: was one hundred and fifty four miles an hour. To 193 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: put that in perspective, Dustin Johnson is one hundred and 194 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: nineteen miles an hour. I mean the difference there, I mean, 195 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: there would be the difference between I don't know, Dustin 196 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: Johnson and somebody who just picked up the game or something. 197 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, even if he just swung what 198 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: he's been averaging all year with one hundred and thirty third, 199 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 1: the difference between Dustin Johnson and him is fifteen miles 200 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: an hour. That's the differen between Dustin Johnson and Jim 201 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: Ferrick or Brendan Todd. So what do I expect? I 202 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: don't know. If he takes that one hundred and fifty 203 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: mile an hour club at speed out on the golf course, 204 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: he's going to be chipping to He said he could 205 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: drive number one right, He's gonna be chipping to five. 206 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: He's gonna he will literally be chipping to all these 207 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: play if he if he has any symbolance of accuracy 208 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 1: with that, it'll be it'll mean unlike anything we've ever 209 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: seen before in the game. But he's also talking about 210 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: this secret weapon in his bag that nobody knows about. Yeah. Well, 211 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: I think he's pretty good at at work in his brand. 212 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: He's really good at that, you know. I mean he's 213 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: he's good at teasiness and peaking our interest. It has 214 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: to be a driver. I don't know what else it 215 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: could be. Um, well, he did mention Cobra quite a 216 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: few times when he was talking about good at that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 217 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: he's good at the product placement. Yeah. Oh yeah, he's 218 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: really really good at that. Listen, if someone was going 219 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: to give me a free Bentley, I, you know, I'd 220 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: probably work it. I'd probably work it in too. I'd go, 221 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: you know, this is you know, I'd say that it's 222 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: not the Catillac of Sweens, it's the Bentley Tweens. I 223 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: figure out a way to get it in. I would 224 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 1: Is this a good thing? Is this what golfers now 225 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: are going to try to emulate? Yes? I think it's 226 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: the tip of the iceberg, because you know, when tiger 227 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: Woods came along, nobody could do. You can't replicate tiger Woods. 228 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: You just couldn't. You can't you can't have his imagination, 229 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: you can't have his speed, you can't have his accuracy, 230 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: and you can't have his mind. But what Bryson is doing, 231 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: there's there's an absolute roadmap for this. And college kids 232 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: and young amateurs they're paying attention and they know this roadmap. 233 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 1: They can see it in all of these information gathering devices, 234 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: they could see it on force plates, and so they 235 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: know how to move like Bryson's moving because you know, 236 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: we saw Bryson. He was swinging one hundred and seventeen 237 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: miles an hour a few years ago. Now he's one 238 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: hundred fifty four miles an hour and he's told everybody 239 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: how he's done it. So the roadmap is there and 240 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: we're going to see more and more of this, and 241 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,719 Speaker 1: is it good? I don't know. Everybody leans in when 242 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: he's sitting a driver and they watch and the ratings 243 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: go up when he plays. What feels like he's he's 244 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: the new star, like Jordan's pace back. Justin Thomas is 245 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: always interesting, Rory's interesting. Uh, Dustin can be great, but 246 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: you know, doesn't move the meter. John rom Like people 247 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: who don't know golf, it feels like no. It's like 248 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: when you wait for Barry Bonds to come to the plate. 249 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: You get to watch De Shambo come to the plate 250 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: eighteen times, you know during a round. That's very much 251 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: what it's like. I mean, those analogies have been drawn, 252 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, distance is always uh, you know, alluring. 253 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: Everybody leans in. John Daly came along and it was 254 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: you know, nineteen ninety one. Nobody forgets what happened there. 255 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: But you know, John Daley didn't, let's just say, quite 256 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 1: have the discipline of Wrightson to Shambo, right, and Bryson 257 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: to Shambo is also working into this golf swing accuracy elements, 258 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 1: and he keeps trying to get better and better and better. 259 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: So you know, golf has never really quite seen anything 260 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 1: like Bryson. He's much longer in proportion to his fellow 261 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: peers than John Daly, was longer than Nicholas, was longer 262 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: than Tiger. Well, he and Tiger. When Tiger first came 263 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: out with a combination of accuracy, it's kind of similar 264 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: to what Tiger was doing in ninety seven. But I 265 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: remember when Tiger first happened on the scene and he 266 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: was very successful, and I was talking to Fred Couples. 267 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: I said can that swing hold up? He said, no, 268 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: it can eventually you slow down. Your body just can't 269 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: take the torque whatever weight you put in. Like, how 270 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: long does do Shambo have? What's his window of opportunity here? Well, 271 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: the thing with Tiger is that we don't know if 272 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: some of those injuries came from the gym, but I 273 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: suspect a lot of those injuries came from him restricting 274 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: with his lower body. Tiger hardly turned his hips and 275 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: created that massive coil. But if you do that, you 276 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: put so much pressure on your back, and so it 277 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: really was an accident or an injury. Injury right waiting 278 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: to happen. Bryson isn't doing that. He's swinging the way 279 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: Fred Cup not Fred Couples. He's swinging the way Bubba 280 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: Watson or Phil Mickelson have swum, where he fully turns 281 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: his hips. Okay, so that's less injurious on the body. 282 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: It puts less stress on the body. So I hear 283 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: people say that it looks injurious. I don't see it 284 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: that way. I think he could go on. Obviously his 285 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: swing will slow down as he gets older, but that's 286 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: not for he's in his twenties. He's got another ten 287 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: fifteen years a bit, but it looks so violent. I 288 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: think his back is going to go right through his 289 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: stern um. I think, I mean, right, yes, But you know, look, 290 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: Jamie Silowski is a player. He's copied. Kyle Burkeshire is 291 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: a player. He's copied. These are long drop guys. I 292 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: paid quite a bit of attention to Kyle and Jamie. 293 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: I've never seen Jamie get injured. I've never seen Kyle 294 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: get injured. You know, I just don't see those guys 295 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: get injured because they don't restrict and they and they 296 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: they fully release. And by the way, Bryson is paying 297 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: because Bryson, you've heard him talk about wanting to live 298 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: to be one hundred and twenty or thirty. He heard 299 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: him say these things like he you know, he's not 300 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: He's not planning on getting injured and hanging it up 301 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: anytime soon. I mean, this guy has got Brandy, you 302 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: know who he described. He reminds me of Elon Musk, 303 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: like he used Nazi. I almost made it last night. 304 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: I went Sylvester salone right in Rocky last night. But 305 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: Elon Musk, you know, and he reminds me to Elon 306 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: Musk in a lot of ways. One Elon Musk, after 307 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: he made all the money on PayPal, bet at all 308 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: on space X and Tesla, bet at all. I mean, 309 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: he took this huge risk. Everybody thought he was crazy 310 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: and it paid up. Bryson bet at all on this 311 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: golf swing because he was making millions of dollars and 312 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: having a nice career. But he bet at all on 313 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: this he could have shuffled off into oblivion. And then 314 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: when Bryson talks, you can't quite understand what he's talking about. 315 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: You have to go do Google searches. And that's the 316 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: same one on must Tis. So they're innovators, their creators. 317 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 1: I saw a quote from Zuckerberg the other day and 318 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: it said something like the only real risk in the 319 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: world today is not innovating. I mean, that is the 320 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: strategy to fail because there's so much information and so 321 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: much access to information if you're not ready to change 322 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: and take risks, and that is a recipe for failure. 323 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: And that's that's Bryson de Shambo, that's Elon much is 324 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: the Shambo liked on tour. I think I think, I 325 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: mean there's probably a few that are, you know, probably 326 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 1: roll their eyes when he starts talking. But you know, 327 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: when you I've never seen if anybody gets paired with 328 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 1: Tiger or Phil. You watch them they walk down the fairway. 329 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: There's two or three guys. They're playing golf with Phil 330 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: or Tiger. When they're walking down the fairway, the other 331 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: guys are turned looking at them. Okay, there's no question 332 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: who the big cat is in that group, the Tiger 333 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 1: and Phil. When they get paired with Bryson, Bryson's walking 334 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: down the fairway, their turn looking at him. They're talking 335 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: to him, they're asking him questions because he's the guy 336 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 1: who's done all the research. Nobody's done the research the 337 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: way Bryson has. Not from a player's perspective, any information 338 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: on Tiger now, probably nothing other than what you've heard. 339 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: I've been following a doctor, an orthopedic, who puts these 340 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: great posts on Twitter, these great threads about what Tiger 341 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: is likely to be going through. But but I guess, 342 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: as he said, is no news is good news. If 343 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: there was anything going on that was bad, we would 344 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: have heard about it. And so the whole golf world 345 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 1: held his breath that day, and we're all crossing our 346 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: fingers that he heals up beautifully and makes a comeback 347 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 1: yet again. Another comeback would be tremendous. Before I say 348 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: goodbye with all the nice things you were saying about 349 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: Bryson D. Shambo, who's your pick, I'm gonna pick Justin Thomas. 350 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: You know I'm gonna there's differences between those guys. I 351 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: think Justin has, you know, a little bit more creativity 352 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 1: in his game, and he works the ball left to right. 353 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: You know, over the last two or three years he's 354 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: been the person who's at more green than anybody else 355 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: at Augusta National. So and that's that's that matters more. 356 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: I mean, you always hear about how putting is so 357 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: important Augusta. Of course it's it's important everywhere, but it's 358 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: it's about fourth on the list at Augusta. First things 359 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: first are strokes K T to green, and nobody's better 360 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: than Justin Thomas in that regard at Augusta National. That's 361 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: my pick. Brandall, great to talk to you. We'll be 362 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: watching live for the Masters coming up later on today. 363 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, Dan.

I didn't need that alarm clock. I could 376 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: have slept for twelve thirteen hours. But I woke up 377 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: and I was like, shoot, what do we got to 378 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: prepare for it? I was like, wait, hey, we're done, 379 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 1: it's over. What did you think when you watched Gonzaga 380 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: face UCLA and did that change in how you prepared 381 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: for them for the National title game? No, we've watched 382 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: Gonzaga all year on we're supposed to play him on 383 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: December fifth. I love coach you, good friend. We have 384 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: two people on our staff that were part of their staff, 385 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: so we have so much respect for their guys in 386 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: their program. So we knew what they were capable of, 387 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 1: and at the same time we had confidence in our 388 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: group as well. Yeah. But I was wondering though, though, Scott, 389 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: when you're looking at them and that's an overtime game, 390 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: it's emotional. I didn't know if you said, your guys, 391 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,239 Speaker 1: because you guys blew out Houston, Hey, let's go at 392 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 1: them right right away. Let's let's you know, let's test 393 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: them right away and see how fatigue they might be. No, 394 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: that's that's a great question. What I actually thought, though, 395 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: is sometimes after you have an emotional win, you start 396 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: off the next game and you're really confident, you're really 397 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 1: on fire. But what happens is that game goes on. 398 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: I think you become gassed. And a lot of times 399 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: you see teams emotional win, they come out that first 400 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: half the next game and they play great, and then 401 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: that's when fatigue sets in after that. Now I was 402 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: cheering for triple overtime. I was disappointed it was only one. 403 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: So take me back to what that eighteen to twenty 404 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: day stretch when COVID impacted your team. How much was 405 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 1: that an impact, you know, an impediment on your team. Well, 406 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 1: the first thing is there is no rulebook for this. 407 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 1: Everyone's going through it for the first time. So I 408 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 1: reached out to several coaches and got their opinion, and 409 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: like coaches, Oh, can't thank him enough for his help 410 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: and his ideas, But most people said, it's gonna take 411 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 1: you two weeks. It's going to take you four games 412 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: to get back to normal. When we came back, we 413 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: played six games fourteen days, traveled thirty five hundred miles, 414 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: so you were just playing, prepping, recovering, and we never 415 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 1: got to practice in And then once we lost in 416 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: our big twelfth tournament, we were able to practice for 417 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: the first time. And Dan, I mean you, I don't 418 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: care what sport. If you go off and all of 419 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 1: a sudden you don't put for twenty one days and 420 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: then you say go out and put, you're not gonna 421 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: be a good putter. So we actually had to practice 422 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: and get back to old habits defensively of what we 423 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: do and how we do it. And then that really 424 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: was a blessing that enabled us to go on our 425 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: run in the NCAA tournament. Yeah, but it's tricky because 426 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if you thought the season could be 427 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: in jeopardy here, I mean, that's a pretty severe I 428 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 1: don't know, did you feel that way? No, no, no, no, 429 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: definitely you with COVID there are absolute answers. And I 430 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: didn't know, maybe we don't come back in time, and 431 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: maybe we can't get back to where we were because 432 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: for most of the season we were top three offenses 433 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 1: in the country in top three defenses in the country, 434 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: so analytically we were really sound. But when we came back, 435 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: our defense every game we played dropped and we got 436 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: as well as forty fourth best defense in the country. 437 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, after we had those 438 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: couple of times of practice, and really credit our guys. 439 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: When we practice, they practiced hard. They wanted to get better. 440 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: It's a player led team put in time. You know, 441 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: they were just trying to get by, and our guys 442 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: wanted to get better. He's Scott Drew, the head coach 443 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: at Baylor's been there since two thousand and three. You know, 444 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: you go back. You took over a program that I 445 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 1: think people wondered if they were going to get the 446 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: death penalty, if that was going to happen with the NCAA. 447 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 1: And even when you know it took a little while 448 00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: to get to the tournament. You had some rough law 449 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,479 Speaker 1: losses there, I think Yale and Georgia's State. And like, 450 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: if I would have told you in two thousand and three, Scott, 451 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: one day we're going to talk about you went in 452 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 1: a national championship at Baylor, and you would have said, 453 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: I said, yeah, I definitely see us doing it. I 454 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: would have probably thought it would have been sooner than 455 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: ten years, because when you're younger, you know, just the 456 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: same things are easier, you know. But we went to 457 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: eight in twenty ten, lost to the national champion. I 458 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: thought we could have won it that year we lost 459 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: at twenty twelve to the national champion the eight, So 460 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: I mean we're knocking on the door. Since two thousand 461 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: and eight, only us in Kansas in the Power five 462 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: of one eighteen or more games. In the last three 463 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: out of five seasons we've been ranked number one. So 464 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: we've been close. And I know when you're close and 465 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: don't get something, you're that much more appreciative when you 466 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: do achieve it. I wondered at halftime though, because Gonzaga 467 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: cut it to ten yea and there was momentum on 468 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: Gonzaga's part and looked like your guys were arguing a 469 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: little bit and seemed like, you know, you looked up 470 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: and you said, we're only up by ten. Yeah, what 471 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 1: did you your team at a half time? Well, first 472 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: and foremost, we're up ten. We're twenty minutes away from 473 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 1: a national championship. So when you're up nineteen, you want 474 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 1: to go in and the half up nineteen, not up ten. 475 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 1: But they're a great team. They're gonna make a run. 476 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: They're gonna make coaching adjustments. But I think focusing on 477 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: the big picture and the big pictures were up ten 478 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: and we're twenty minutes away from a national championship. And 479 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: davey on Mitchell has hired an agent, so he's going 480 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: to go pro. We're going to talk to those guys 481 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: in the next couple of days. But obviously Dave was 482 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 1: unbelievable in the in the tournament, and him and Jared 483 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: all tournament teams and really came back and accomplished to 484 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: what they set out to accomplish. Yeah. I don't mean 485 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: to break this to you, but this is what breaking 486 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: news now just said that Mitchell, a potential lottery pick, 487 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: declaring for the draft and plans on hiring an agent. 488 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: Sources tell the athletics. So yeah, no, I know, I 489 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: just know like before a formal release or okay, we 490 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 1: coordinate that probably I think happens on social media now, 491 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: Yes it does, Yes, it does sometimes before the coach 492 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 1: even knows.
