Speaker 2: time last night his first year here. Adam Napier joins us. Adam,

53
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: tell me a little bit about well, why are you here?

54
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: Why are you here playing in the American Century Championship.

55
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 5: So I'm a part of Team forty three, which is

56
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 5: President Bush's group. He does a bike ride and a

00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 5: golf tournament every year for wounded veterans post nine to

58
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 5: eleven wounded veterans, And once you become a part of

59
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 5: one of those events, become of a part of a

60
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 5: team Team forty three, and we go across the country

61
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 5: and do different things. So how I ended up here though,

62
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 5: was I won his tournament this past Veterans Day at

63
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 5: Los Cleenas Country Club in Dallas, and the winner of

64
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 5: that gets once in a lifetime opportunity to take part

65
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 5: in this event.

66
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: It's so incredible, you know, for the last I would

67
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: say about ten years, there's always a veteran who is

68
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: here and it means so much to all the guys.

69
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: I was talking about the players only meeting that happened

70
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 2: last night. And it's hard to explain, as you you

71
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: not being an athlete in a room and you know,

72
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: you would think about like when you're in school and

73
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: you're like an assembly or something, except this assembly is

74
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: some of the greatest athletes that have ever played the game.

75
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: As a sports fan myself, it's kind of an incredible

76
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 2: thing to be just be in the room, right.

77
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 5: It's incredible just to be in the room. And that

78
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 5: doesn't even start into how the atmosphere in the room

79
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 5: is in you know, being recognized in the room. I mean,

80
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 5: it's just an incredible experience, like some I'll remember till

81
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 5: the day I die and tell lies about it until

82
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 5: I die.

83
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's it really feels like a brotherhood.

84
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: You were immediately embraced and brought into that as all

85
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 2: the veterans are who come in. And the moment Adam

86
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,559
Speaker 2: is talking about is that he was introduced by John Miller.

87
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: All the first time players are always introduced by John

88
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: Miller and they're recognized. And when Adam was was introduced

89
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: last night, everyone in the room stood. And I find

90
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: it a really emotional moment just being in the room

91
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: with you, a person who has done so much for

92
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: our country and really what this is about. You know,

93
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 2: I'm a actor on a television show and Jerry Rice

94
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: catches footballs for a living, and you know, the idiot

95
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 2: pitchers just throw a ball, which seems really easy. But

96
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 2: you know, what you, what you have done and what

97
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: you've endured is truly incredible and is worthy of being

98
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: recognized in that way. And it's just a really powerful,

99
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 2: powerful moment in that room, everybody acknowledging you and your service.

100
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: It absolutely gave me chills last night.

101
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 2: I mean it, yeah, I.

102
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 5: Was glad they didn't find a baby picture of me,

103
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 5: but uh, just unbelievable. And you know, and I want

104
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 5: to take a moment to thank all of you guys

105
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 5: and you know, the football players and baseball players, because

106
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 5: you can be in the middle of nowhere Afghanistan and Iraq,

107
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 5: you know, and you have an hour, a couple of

108
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 5: hours where you get to watch a football game, a

109
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 5: baseball game, have a movie night, and it doesn't matter

110
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 5: where you are. When you get together with the group

111
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 5: of guys and gals and have a minute, it's like

112
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 5: being home for a little bit, you know, Just little

113
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 5: things like that. You know, there's no telling how many

114
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,239
Speaker 5: times that we would binge watch The Office when we'd

115
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 5: have time, you know, the Super Bowl games and just

116
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 5: you know, it's anything that's a little bit of a

117
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 5: break and makes it seem like you're back home. I

118
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 5: mean it it helps you get.

119
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: Through, right. So well, that's that's very emotional for me,

120
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: I tell you. You know, I've said many times the greatest

121
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: gift that this show, really The Office gave me was

122
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: knowing that the show brings comfort and a sense of

123
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: normalcy to people in their most difficult times. Talk about

124
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: The Office being a show that brings comfort, and when

125
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: I talked to either active military or veterans or more

126
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 2: people going through a difficult medical situation or family issue,

127
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: that that show, you know, has brought them something is amazing.

128
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: And to hear from you that in Afghanistan and that's

129
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: bringing you just a little bit closer to home. It's

130
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 2: an awesome, awesomely powerful thing. So thank you. So this

131
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 2: is no lie.

132
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 5: I'm not making this up for this, but okay, we

133
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 5: have watched episodes of the Office in Afghanistan on our

134
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 5: projector that we'd use for meeting right up against a rock,

135
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 5: you know, we had a clear flat rock and you

136
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 5: know we would get back in and you know we'd

137
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 5: see stuff that you needed to laugh. You know, laugh

138
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 5: is true. Laughter is the best medicine. And so you

139
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 5: know we may not have time to watch a movie

140
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 5: and like, hey, you know, let's watch The Office or hey,

158
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 5: that would be nervous. Yeah, ten time major winner, Uh,

159
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 5: that's different. But but I think I would have been nervous.

160
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 5: But you know, you guys have been so accepting to us,

161
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 5: and I was lucky Caddy in twenty nineteen for the

162
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 5: Warrior yep, and y'all have just opened y'all's arms to

163
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 5: us and made it such a relaxing experience and made

164
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 5: it feel like, you know, this is once in a

165
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 5: lifetime chance that you know, I want to play good,

166
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 5: but if I don't, it's not gonna matter, you know,

167
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 5: And that mentality helps you play better too. But you know,

168
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 5: I'm glad to be here, and you know I want

169
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 5: to do my best.

170
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 2: But I've already won for the week. Well that's that's amazing.

171
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 2: What what gives you the confidence to go out there

172
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: and make a run at winning this thuff? So I

173
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 2: put a lot of work in get ready for it.

174
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 5: Luckily, the Warrior Open moved a little bit this year

175
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 5: because of COVID and stuff, so I've had more time. Normally,

176
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 5: it's in you know, the May time frame, so it's

177
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 5: a pretty quick turnaround coming here. So we played it

178
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 5: in November, so it gave me time to prepare, okay,

179
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 5: and that helps. I got out here early, a little

180
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 5: bit before it started getting crowded, right, And then I

181
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 5: was lucky the first date that I thought I was

182
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 5: playing in a program, and I show up and I'm

183
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 5: playing with Justin Timberlake and Adam Feeling, and I'm just like, well,

184
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 5: you know, if I can play with these guys and

185
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,840

278
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,440

00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: as you discussed, we are not. Let's be clear, no,

280
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,960

Speaker 2: hundred and fifty yard walk of shame back to his ball,

282
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: which I was like, my heart was breaking for him,

283
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 2: knowing how it feels. Who's the guy that you're looking at?

284

Speaker 7: I need to see if I can get him here,

313
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 7: because I can get that same calmness, that same conversation

314
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 7: that same attitude, I can get him on the bag

315
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 7: and it'll really it, and it has. He's come to the

316
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 7: last couple of years and I felt much better in

317
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 7: terms of my game, how I'm going out there with

318
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 7: a strategy and idea. So he's been He's been very

319
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 7: beneficial to my confidence because I know I've got a guy.

320
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 7: He's a really good player in his own right. So

321
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 7: I got a guy who understands and knows kind of

322
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 7: what I'm capable of and what I'm not capable of.

323
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 7: And that's the one thing you because the majority of

324
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 7: the times we want to try to hit the hero shot. No,

325
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 7: it is five percent, that's right, And you take up

326
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 7: that five percent, you can take it in half because

327
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 7: now your body is tense and it's tight, and got

328
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 7: these people look at and you're like man, and and

329
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 7: now all of a sudden, you got no chance, absolutely

330
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 7: no chance.

331
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 6: To hit it.

332
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna hit this cut three wood over the

333
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: crowds to come back.

334
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 6: And it's water on the left, and I got it.

335
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 6: I get it in there and let it drop right

336
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 6: in of course.

337
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 2: Not yeah, how how many points? What are you looking at?

338
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,199

339
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 2: best finish? Here? My best finish I think was T fifteen.

340
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 7: That was a a couple of years ago, the COVID year,

341
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 7: because I was tuned up, you know, that was all

342
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 7: I was doing was to do much else. So I

343
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 7: was in great form. And so that was that was.

344
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 7: That was number fifty one.

345
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 6: That was.

346
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 2: That was pretty good. How many points is that? That's

347
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 2: probably was in the forty, Yeah, forty, that's probably fifteen

348
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 2: a day. Yeah, I was. That's very play.

349
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 7: I played very well. Now, I will say this, I regressed.

350
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 2: Last year.

351
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 6: I think I was.

352
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 7: I only finished with about almost fifty or maybe twenty.

353
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 7: I think I was right right in the fifteen to

354
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 7: twenty something, right, and it was not very good.

355
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 2: All right, Well, listen, I hope that it goes great

365
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 2: been coming here?

366
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 8: This is twenty two for me, twenty You know I

367
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 8: almost died here one year.

368
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 2: Literally, yes, wait tell me, yes, I remember this.

369
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 8: So this is about ten years ago, ten twelve years ago,

370
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 8: just doing the tournament and I didn't feel well. And

371
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 8: you know, those of us who travel for a living,

372
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 8: you're used to being on the road and not feeling well.

373
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 8: You deal with it. Somehow, just felt different. So I

374
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 8: ended up taking myself to the hospital. My appendix that exploded.

375
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 8: My appendix that exploded, and then they did the surgery,

376
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 8: took it out, and I was recovering, and there was

377
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 8: a complication and they had to do another surgery. I

378
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 8: was in the hospital here for two weeks here. Yeah,

379
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 8: And I was lucky because the surgeon. It's a small

380
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 8: regional hospital. The surgeon was a guy who had spent

381
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 8: his entire professional career as a combat surgeon. He's from

382
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 8: in the Air Force, so he'd seen everything. He'd seen

383
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 8: every kind of trauma, and he took such good care

384
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 8: of me. But I mean it was in my family.

385
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 8: When you say like Tahoe, it has the best of

386
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 8: connotations and the worst.

387
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 2: So wow, that's that is amazing. What it makes this

388
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 2: event special people like you.

389
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 8: I mean, listen, when would I stop, No, seriously, when

390
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 8: would I get to meet and hang out and make

391
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 8: friends with people like you? When would our paths cross?

392
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 8: They wouldn't, you know? I mean they might and I'd

393
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 8: be curious to know what you think about this. But

394
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 8: the thing that I think makes this event so special

395
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 8: is that you guys, people who compete in it, get

396
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 8: to cross paths with people that you would.

397
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 2: Never cross paths with. That's right.

398
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 8: And everybody lets their hair down. There's no pretense. Everybody's

399
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 8: just you know, not necessarily thinking that they have to

400
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 8: worry about very much. Everybody just hangs out together. It's

401
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 8: a very casual vibe. I mean, I've always felt that way.

402
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 8: It's the most relaxed broadcasting experience I will do all year,

403
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 8: and I get to just you know, a lot of

404
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 8: it is for many million years. I was out on seventeen,

405
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 8: you know, doing the interviews and that was fun. And

406
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 8: now I'm going to booth calling golf and it's a

407
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 8: totally different narrative. I just get to be up there

408
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 8: and talk about golf, you know, you know, like I

409
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 8: found out yesterday I was talking to Justin Timberlake. And

410
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 8: when do I get to say that? Just yesterday I

411
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 8: was talking to Justin Timberlake. Anyway, I was talking to

412
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 8: I was talking to Justin, and he was there's a

413
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 8: commonality about it, like for all of us, what do

414
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 8: we talk about. What's the first thing I said to you?

415
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 8: How's your golf?

416
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 2: How's your golf?

417
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 8: K okay, right, yeah, we're all golfers, you know, for

418
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 8: better for worse. And so Justin launches into her in

419
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 8: there having a sandwich and hey, hey, doing, what's happening?

420
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 8: What you been up to as your family?

421
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 2: This?

422
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 9: That?

423
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 8: And he said, and I said, how's your golf? And

424
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 8: he says, well, yeah, you know, I'm I got this

425
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 8: thing going on with my with my left side. And

426
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 8: he starts telling me about how he his shoulder.

427
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 2: I guess it's his left shoulder.

428
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 8: He's double jointed, so it kind of pops in and out.

429
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 8: Oh Jesus, and he says, here, check this out. And

430
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 8: he puts my hand on his shoulder and it's clicking.

431
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 2: In and out.

432
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, but anyway, and it's like, so that's I said, Okay,

433
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 8: well that'll end up on the air this weekend. But

434
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 8: it's just it's listen, this is it's just fun. Yeah,

435
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 8: you know, I enjoy coming here because I just get

436
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 8: to talk.

437
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 2: Can I curse on? Yeah? Of course I get to

438
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: talk shit. Yeah, you know, so yeah, you know, I listen.

439
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 2: I think you've actually touched on something that I haven't

440
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 2: thought about quite in this way. I mean, I would

441
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 2: like to think and I do think it is true

442
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,719
Speaker 2: that there's just an amazing collection of really good guys

443
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 2: and gals or together. But that commonality that you just

444
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 2: talked about, like there's also we're all working on the

445
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 2: same thing, and there's no pretense, there's no there's no

446
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 2: I'm better than you. I'm gonna you know, well, because

447
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 2: we all suck, that's right.

448
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 8: We're all just doing the best we can outside of

449
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 8: Mark Mulder and Marty Fish and that's you know, Jack Wagner,

450
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 8: we all suck. Yeah, it's just a degree to which

451
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 8: we suck, you know, and that you know, we're all

452
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 8: equally is consumed by the game, befuddled by it. But

453
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 8: you know, I also think there's a feels like a

454
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 8: sense of community here, you know, like you come here

455
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 8: and whether you're a broadcaster or a participant, or you're

456
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 8: justin Timberlake, or you're somebody that could walk through the

457
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 8: crowd and nobody would know, it doesn't matter. We're all

458
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 8: here just part of this community and it's fun, and

459
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 8: it just it just feels so good.

460
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 2: You know, it really feels good. I could not agree more.

461
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 2: I have said already today it's my favorite week of

462
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 2: the year. It's also the most difficult week. It's the

463
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: difficult thing that I do every year. Dude, listen, I

464
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 2: don't know how you guys do this.

465
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,920

478
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,719
Speaker 8: They shamed me into hitting a shot. Fortunately it wasn't awful,

479
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 8: But then they shamed me into I'm like subject to

480
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 8: such peer pressure. They shame me into shotgunning a a corona. No,

481
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 8: it's worse smear novel.

482
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know. Yeah, they tossed me one yesterday. It

483
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 2: hit the ground and they just immediately got sprayed by me.

484
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 2: That's that's how I that's how I roll.

485
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 8: Can I ask you a question? Sure, let me turn

486
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 8: this around because I figured you would. Well, I'm you know,

487
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 8: it's what I do for a living. My wife says,

488
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 8: I don't have conversations with people I interviewed them.

489
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 2: Do you ever get.

490
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 8: Tired of talking about the office?

491
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 2: You know? Because I could see how you could, I

492
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 2: I will answer the question this way. I am so fascinated,

493
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 2: and I know you are an author and life fascinates

494
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,719
Speaker 2: you as well. I truly became fascinated with what happened

495
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 2: to our show afterward like that that it became more

496
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 2: popular after five six years when we had not filmed anything,

497
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 2: and that the show exploded. That is a truly fascinating

498
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 2: question with me that I think the even smarter people

499
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 2: than me should try to explore why that is. But

500
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 2: the journey that I've been on in trying to answer

501
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 2: that question of why has truly brought me a joy.

502
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 2: I think. I think it's I think it's fascinating and

503
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 2: that and that young people a show that wasn't being

504
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 2: made for young people, you know, not just survives, but

505
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 2: thrives this year later. And you know, we were a

506
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 2: big show. You know, we were on NBC. And but

507
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 2: you know, for me and for all of us, we

508
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 2: weren't friends at the time we went Seinfeld even you know,

509
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 2: we were we were we were like NBC's number one show, right,

510
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 2: but we weren't that and now became that. Plus that's

511
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 2: that's the crazy thing. Yeah, And I've told you.

512
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 8: This before, I you know, many many times. I mean,

513
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 8: I have my youngest son is eighteen years old, and

514
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 8: at one point he became this probably five years ago,

515
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 8: became so fascinated with the show that every day he

516
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 8: binge the whole thing three times through. Yeah, and when

517
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 8: he found out that I knew you, you know, I know, listen,

518
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,719
Speaker 8: I've met Muhammad al Lee, Michael Jordan. I mean, I

519
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,959
Speaker 8: could not have been elevated to a higher status in

520
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 8: his life. I've been to the White House for dinner

521
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 8: and listen.

522
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 2: None of that matters. Okay.

523
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: What matters is that I you know Kevin.

524
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 8: Okay, so wait, can I I'm sorry to turn this

525
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 8: around on you, but I have always been fascinated with

526
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 8: the acting that you were able to do. When I

527
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 8: first met you, I could not get it out of

528
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 8: my head that you weren't that character because that character, yes,

529
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 8: probably was so challenging to become, right, and it's so

530
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 8: different from who you are.

531
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 2: He's different from who I am. But that's what I say.

532
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 2: That's the thing that's crazy, is that you know, it's

533
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 2: like me trying to be a golfer, like I mean,

534
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 2: I did go to school for.

535
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 6: It, you know, I was, you know, professional.

536
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 2: But yes, thank you, thank you for what I will

537
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 2: consider it to be a compliment. It is.

538
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,960

Speaker 2: to obviously give me some screen time, Dan Hicks. There

543
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,400

Speaker 6: I guess.

560
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 2: Superstar, specifically superstar. I remember the first time I met you,

561
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 2: which was a long time I was wondering.

562
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 3: So yesterday, Uh, for those that were there was? I

563
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 3: got players meeting at the ACC and I saw Brian.

564
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 3: I wasn't sure if you remembered me. Oh, I wanted

565
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 3: you to know how much I love your podcast, how

566
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 3: much I love Off the Beat. I loved all the

567
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 3: office stuff. I think your tremendous interviewer. Your voice and

568
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 3: your transitions are absolutely incredible. The dialogue. I love hearing

569
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 3: acting and how people do their process. I just didn't

570
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 3: really enjoy that. And so what you do and what

571
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 3: you dissect, you do such a phenomenal job.

572
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: But I didn't. I didn't know if you nowhere?

573
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 2: Where do you? Where is your first recollection of where

574
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 2: we met? My recollection, which I think is accurate, is

575
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 2: we were playing in a celebrity poker event and you

576
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 2: had the wrestling belt over your shoulder and you may

577
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 2: really made me laugh and we hung out there. I

578
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 2: think it was a couple of days, or it was

579
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 2: at least a really long day. Yeah, it was a

580
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 2: long day. That was it? Right? Was no? Okay?

581
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 3: Now, I don't know if you'll remember this, Okay, they do.

582
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 3: Do you remember a club named Laid Yes? I do

583
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 3: remember we met there. I don't remember. It's okay, you don't, okay,

584
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 3: because there were so many people and I was a

585
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 3: huge office fan and I was like, oh my god,

586
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 3: Brian's here. Oh so I came up, introduced myself. It

587
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 3: was very quick, okay, And so you wouldn't. It's not

588
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 3: something memorable, and I wasn't really I was off the

589
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 3: real world. Maybe it challenges and I think I was

590
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 3: just starting in w W eight, okay, and so that's

591
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 3: probably why.

592
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 2: Well let me tell let me tell you something that

593
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 2: this should make you feel better. I was. I was

594
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 2: at I think it was a reconstructing it. I was

595
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 2: at a bar in Los Angeles to watch Sunday football

596
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 2: and occasionally people come up and I take pictures. So

597
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 2: years later there's a photo that surfaces of of myself

598
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 2: Brian Baumgardner, but Kevin Malone with me and post malone

599
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 2: and this this this, this picture starts surfacing around and

600
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 2: I see it if you tie out pay any mine.

601
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 2: And then my niece sends it to me and says,

602
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 2: oh my god, is this real? And I had on

603
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 2: a black shirt and I think he had on a

604
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 2: white shirt. As my recollection, I'll post the picture again,

605
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,719
Speaker 2: but there's kind of a line it looks photoshopped, right,

606
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 2: so it's like post Malone, Kevin post Malone thing. I

607
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 2: thought it was photoshopped, and then it just keeps coming up.

608
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 2: And it had been like a long time before, you know,

609
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 2: since this picture had allegedly happened. So I finally do

610
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 2: the easiest thing in the world and google Kevin Malone,

611
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 2: post Malone. The first thing that pops up is post

612
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 2: Malone's Twitter page. Now I've not ever met him or

613
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,959
Speaker 2: talked to him, and he posted the photo, so it

614
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 2: clearly was him and I at this place in Los

615
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 2: Angeles that took a photo and I didn't remember that

616
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 2: that's and his name is post Malone.

617
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 3: Well it's also, by the way, like before iPhones were

618
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,680

Speaker 3: really tired after yesterday, I mean, eighteen holes, uh, doing

635
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 3: all the media that is here at ACC And then

636
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 3: I get out of the elevator and there's a chip.

637
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:40,759

638
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 3: Five thousand dollars? Said it was fair to you, and

639
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 3: I thought it was a joke. I looked down and

640
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 3: I looked around and I was like, oh my god,

641
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 3: there's a five thousand dollars ship here. And I was like, hello, hello,

642
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 3: is anyone here? I thought someone was like pranking me.

643
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 3: So I pick it up and it's a real five thousand.

644
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 3: There's no one in the hall.

645
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: What do you do?

646
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 5: Wow?

647
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to think what do you do?

648
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 3: Like, so if I would call down to the lobby

649
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 3: and say, hey, I found a five thousand dollars.

650
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 2: Chip, someone is gonna someone's gonna be like, yeah, that's me.

651
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 3: But I was also thinking, man, if I lost five

652
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 3: thousand dollars, I would be so upset. But also I

653
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 3: feel like, if you have a five thousand dollar chip,

654
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 3: there's probably.

655
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: A bunch of other chips to it, and you don't

656
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: even know how much you really have.

657
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,439
Speaker 3: So it's the one or two ways. But I feel

658
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 3: so bad and I don't know what to do with it.

659
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 3: And today someone was messing with me. I told one

660
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 3: of my buddies and then he told someone. I was

661
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 3: telling the person the story. He goes, yeah, I lost

662
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 3: five thousand OD chip. I was like, I felt a

663
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 3: sense of relief. I was like, oh, I have it.

664
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 3: I have it, and he's like, I'm joking. I knew

665
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 3: that you found one, And I was like, what do

666
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 3: you do with that? Here's what I think you should do.

667
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 3: I think you should give me the chip.

717
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna do pretty good here, and he's like, yeah,

718
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,000

00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 3: fun guy to be around. Like, honestly, if you want

774
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 3: to have a good time hanging around Pat McAfee. But

775
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 3: I want to beat him so badly because we have

776
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 3: a bet that we we rip each other a lot.

777
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 3: One person has to say three days of just compliments NonStop,

778
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 3: on like social on like his radio show, like in

779
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 3: w w A, whatever it is. You just have to

780
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 3: compliment that person for three straight And that's the hardest

781
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 3: thing for either of us to do.

782
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 2: That's so good. What what?

783
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 9: Uh?

784
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,439
Speaker 2: What's your what's your handicap? Again?

785
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: I don't keep one because I lose so many balls.

786
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 3: And now in my head, the guy has the ugly

787
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 3: he's a cross between Charles Barr being John Ram. I

788
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 3: say this because he has an ugly swing. The swing

789
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 3: looks terrible, but he hits it three hundred yards and straight.

790
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 3: Oh wow, I'm nervous because my game. I thought I

Speaker 2: the years. I don't know if we've ever had this conversation.

892

Speaker 2: You know, my dad went to Duke. No, I didn't.

893
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 2: My dad went to do So let's just say there

894
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 2: were there were years that I did not root for you.

895
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 2: Of course, specifically specifically did not root for you.

896
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 4: Those are good years too. My college years were one

897
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 4: and two, always going all fourth.

898
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 2: Back and forth. I know, no, I remember, why why

899
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 2: do you keep coming here every year? I mean it's

900
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 2: just so.

901
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 4: Now that I've retired, golf is my competition, okay, And

902
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,040

903
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,359
Speaker 4: at it, and golf gets the best of us. But

904
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 4: it's like coming here and making new friends. But the

905
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 4: celebrity types of athletes, the people coming from whatever the

906
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,919
Speaker 4: profession here for friendly competition, but yet you know it's

907
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 4: real competition. There's always somebody here you want to beat,

908
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 4: where you want to play well in front of or

909
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 4: so so. So the first year was I like probably

910
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 4: everyone else was a little nerve wracking, and by the

911
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 4: second by the end of the second day, but the

912
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:19,439
Speaker 4: third day I felt good. I'm like, man, I hope

913
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 4: they bring me back. And now you know, you get

914
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 4: that email, Hey, where we would like to invite you.

915
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:27,160

918
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,319

00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 2: where they are. Who's the guy you most want to

920
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 2: beat and you've got in your sights. Everyone gets a

921
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 2: similar smile on their face when I asked this question.

922
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:45,000

925
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 4: want to do better than each other.

926
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 2: You know how to go.

927
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 4: I leave Venne Delle Nigga alone. You know he won

928
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,879
Speaker 4: it last year, so that's that's a different strategy. Yeah,

929
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,879
Speaker 4: you need that guy alone, Marcus, I know who's on here,

930
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 4: and Jerome Bettis are here. We all come out of

931
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,760
Speaker 4: the same golf club, Golf Club of Georgia in Atlanta. Okay,

932
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 4: so of course I'll be watching those guys and like

933
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 4: there again, we root for each other, but we want

934
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 4: to do a little better.

935
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 2: Than what what what brings you? Well, let me say this.

936
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 4: Everybody I'm sure will say just as long as you

937
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 4: do better than Barkley as well know Chuck. So of course,

938
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:24,879
Speaker 4: and I had to play with in the group last year.

939
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 4: I was like, what does that say about my game

940
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 4: right now? But yeah, but I trust me.

941
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,720
Speaker 2: I have played a number of years in his group, yes,

942
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 2: and it's but I tell you what he taught me something, honest,

943
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 2: honest to God. When I started coming here, I think

944
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 2: I was paired with him. The first year, it was

945
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,720
Speaker 2: fifteen years ago now, and he and I were playing together,

946
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 2: and you know his swing at that point, I hope

947
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:52,399
Speaker 2: it's a little better. Last year it was it was

948
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 2: it was. It was starting to look look good. Yeah,

949
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,280
Speaker 2: it look good. You know he can't hit the ball.

950
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:01,240
Speaker 2: He's Hank. Hanny is walking with us. One point puts

951
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 2: on sunglasses and I'm like, like, right before he swung,

952
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 2: I'm like, what is he doing? Why does he keep

953
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 2: putting these on? Right before? And I realized they were

954
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 2: blacked out. He was blacked out. So was it just

955
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 2: close your eyes? It was like black out this and

956
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 2: just swing to try to get over this mental this

957
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 2: mental thing all. I mean, he's crazy and not very

958
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 2: successful to me, but I will tell you walking around

959
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 2: here with him, I've said this many times. He knows

960
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 2: everybody's name, He asks about their family. Believable. The volunteers

961
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,839
Speaker 2: that are here have been here in some cases for many, many,

962
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 2: many years, and he cares about everybody. He looks everybody

963
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 2: in the eye, he says hello and asks about them.

964
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:47,320
Speaker 2: It truly, and I honestly, God, I tried to model

965
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 2: that behavior now because you know what, it takes just

966
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 2: as much energy to be nice as it does to

967
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 2: be an asshole. And I promise you that came from

968
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 2: from this event, me getting to know him and his

969
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 2: generosity of spirit.

970
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 4: It's so incredible, and it's just it's amazing to see

971
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 4: because you know, like you said, the effort, but he

972
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 4: just it's this second nature to him. And to see

973
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 4: how people respond to him, it's like it's a great feeling.

974
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 4: You sit back and smile and it's not even you,

975
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 4: it's not you know, and this is amazing. And like

976
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 4: you said, he's just he's he's just a great person.

977
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 4: I mean, you can say what you say about him

978
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 4: and he says he speaks his mind. You appreciate that.

979
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 4: But when you're around him, you're like, man, he's like

980
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 4: I tell people all the time, what you see on

981
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 4: TV is that, But when you're around him, he's like

982
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 4: the life of the party and one of the friendliest,

983
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 4: nicest people.

984
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 2: He really is. It's you know. And I get asked

985
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 2: about him, you know, and making fun of his swing

986
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 2: or whatever, but like I just I always want to say,

987
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 2: you just need to get to know him because this

988
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 2: is like you will be rooting so hard for him,

989
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,399
Speaker 2: and I'm rooting so hard for him to play better.

990
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 2: What what gives the confidence for you? Like, what what

991
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 2: gives you confidence out here in the face of all

992
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:55,760
Speaker 2: the fans.

993
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 4: And get once you get past the first hole, you know,

994
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 4: that first shot for I mean, like, I don't care

995
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 4: how many years my first year was, Like, it's a

996
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 4: few times that I can recall being terrified, and I

997
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 4: was pretty close to that first shot. The second day

998
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,879
Speaker 4: we better got better. But the next year and year

999
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 4: after that, you still have the nerves. Yeah, but over

1000
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 4: the balls is a lot different than that first year.

1001
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 4: So I'm better and I can say I feel good now,

1002
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 4: but you know, it's still gonna be some gonna be

1003
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 4: some nerves. I just like to see the ball go

1004
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:24,879
Speaker 4: forward and then we can figure it out.
