But it is Tahoe we're 0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:19.000 talking about on this episode of the most dramatic podcast. 0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:23.599 Ever, Long Drive. It's gonna hit a tree. The greens 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:24.080 are rolling. 0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:26.960 I had the honor of taking part in the American 0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:31.520 Century Championship, the big celeb tournament that was on NBC 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:35.960 this weekend, hosted by American Century and our good friend 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:40.040 Jonathan Thomas, his wife Cindy. They are first just the 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:44.360 most incredible people. Great shout out to them, and it 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:48.480 was a week to remember because it's unlike any event 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.960 I've ever been to. There's so much to talk. 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:55.440 About listen, as you all know, and I just affirmed 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:57.640 with those golf terms I tried to throw out, I 0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:01.240 don't know anything about golf. I don't love golf, but 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.640 I had a great time at this tournament. It was 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.760 so First, the biggest thing was the people, like you 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.320 just mentioned, Jonathan, the CEO of American Century and his 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.640 wife Cindy and their whole family were just such good 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:17.840 people and I think they set the tone because the 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.760 people they picked to invite to this. I mean, yes, 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:23.880 it's a celebrity event, but it was just some good celebrities. 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.119 We didn't have any divas. There were no and that's 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:27.080 hard to say because. 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.040 It's bags in the fray. 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:32.800 Because there's ninety so ninety celebrities athletes are brought in 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:36.479 by American Centrated to Edgewood Resort and golf course there 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:39.919 at Lake Tahoe. It is on the shores of Lake Tahoe. 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.440 So the backdrop is just ridiculous. It is stunning. But 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:48.120 the celebs and athletes, I mean they go from you know, 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.680 John Elway, to Travis and Jason Kelsey who we will 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:55.640 be talking about, to Dylan Dryer, meteorologists from NBC. So 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:59.360 I mean it really runs the gamut of celebs that 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.480 were there. I was one of the newbies. There were 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:05.559 sixteen newbies this year, rookies. Blake Griffin was another one. 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:10.320 Austin Reeves, Los Angeles Laker was there. He was a newbie. 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.320 I think Miles Teller had been there before. Miles was there. 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:15.440 This is his first time. Well, and actually I was 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.480 so happy for you because I didn't realize they'd asked 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.240 you to come before, but you were always working, you 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:22.120 were always filming. 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.119 The Yeah, it's in July. It's always in the same time. 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.640 And I was doing the first year I got invited, 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:28.480 I was hosting Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:32.520 I would I used to do Bachelorette, go right to Paradise. 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:34.720 I would come home for a week for like fourth 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:36.800 of July. Then I would move to Vegas for like 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.799 ten weeks, come home a week later. I would leave 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.360 and do Bachelor So that used to be my summer, 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:44.920 which was Man, that sounds fun, doesn't it. 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:45.320 Jeez? 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.480 But this was so great you kind of wish you'd 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:48.480 been able to go in the past. 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.919 I know it, and so yeah, so this has always 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.200 been on my bucket list. If you are a golfer, 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.360 an amateur golfer, if you have any kind of modicum 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.000 of fame, like you know this tournament exists and you 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.880 this is on your bucket list. This is the tournament. 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.040 I'm going to give it in layman's terms to our 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.760 listeners who are not so well versed, aka just like me. 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:12.839 You helped me understand why this is such a big deal. 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:15.320 So in the past, you've paid played in like the 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.520 at and T pro am that means professional and amateur. 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.800 And you've played in a televised golf tournament, but like 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:23.760 pros are still in it, and that's kind of why 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:24.440 people are really. 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:24.720 Into watching it. 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:26.720 And you're leaning on the pros. 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:27.760 In this tournament. 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:33.079 It is only non golfer celebrities. No pro golfers here, 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:38.119 just celebrities maybe golf. And so what's cool for you 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:42.240 guys is you are treated though as if this is 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:45.720 like a full on professional golf tournament. Everything from you know, 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:48.320 the caddies to the tea times and the tents and 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.440 the televised and you know, you you got physical therapy 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:52.560 at the end of every day. 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:55.160 Like you get to kind of Jimmy Roberts, Roger Maltby, 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:59.400 Peter Jacobsen is there.

So they set up on the Fame seventeenth 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:19.960 and so, I mean it was eight You're right, it 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.080 is everything that the pro golfers get to do. That's 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.279 why we get Yeah, we're playing in Yankee Stadium. 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.400 And it was so fun for me because the way 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:32.719 they set it up is so intimate, so well run. 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.159 I mean every single night, so I kind of walk 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:36.560 with you during the day and. 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:40.680 Watch you play golf.

Like I think what we both know was 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:04.000 how much there are just some major people at this thing, 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.440 but everybody felt comfortable and let their guard down. 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.320 So one of the coolest things that you start with. 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:13.640 And again being a rookie there you get there on Tuesday. 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:15.560 You can get Monday or Tuesday. I got there on Tuesday. 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.000 I played a little practice round and you immediately just 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.359 start running into people. If you are a fan of 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.880 any of these athletes. You can look up the ninety 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:26.520 celebs and athletes.

It is this great collegial, 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:39.680 fraternal feel to it. But Wednesday night we have a 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.320 mandatory was it Wednesday or Tuesday night? Tuesday night, sorry, 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:45.000 Tuesday night, we have a mandatory players meeting. So you 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:46.359 go to the that. 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:47.800 You loved this so much I did. 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:49.039 This is like summer camp for you. 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.880 So it was like summer camp. So I walk into 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.839 this thing that and I'll be honest. Okay, So here's 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:56.560 here's the truth. I don't care who you are and 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.080 what you've done. When you do something for the first time, 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:03.159 you're nervous. Think of going to camp for the first time. 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:06.480 You're nervous. So I have nerves. I'm the new kid. 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:08.520 I don't know where to eat, I don't know whose 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.800 table I can sit at, I don't know what's what, 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:12.719 I don't even know where things are yet. So you 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:13.440 have the nerves. 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.120 Just all right, the jocks over there where did the 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:16.159 TV herite? Yeah? 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.000 And it's like, you know me, Colin jos Carson, Dally 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.880 and you know, Jay billis Is you know, so it 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.159 was just very interesting of getting the vibe. But this 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:28.480 is where I love the group that American Century has 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:32.080 brought in. Everybody was so welcoming. And I will say 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.000 I knew a lot of these guys because I played 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.039 in a bunch of these events, so you know, whether 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:39.120 I was friends or acquaintances, you know, I knew them 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.160 and they knew me, which was nice and it kind 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:42.560 of took a little bit of the pressure off. But 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.040 i walk into the players meeting that's in this kind 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:48.799 of nightclub area at the Harris Casino or Harvey's Casino 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:52.480 there in Tahoe, and I'm just looking around the room. 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.200 I've been in some crazy rooms, but I've never been 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.960 in a room like this where there were thirty forty 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:01.200 fifty Hall of Famers or future Hall of famers, from 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:05.560 Joe thisman to you know, Vince Carter who just got inducted, 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.680 and Andrew Whitworth, who's going to be And I'm just like, 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:12.240 there's Baker Mayfield, there's Trevor Lawrence. But it really is 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:15.120 just a who's who in this business, and I'm like, 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:16.440 this is crazy. 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:18.040 Like little Joe. 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:19.920 Yeah, that's a little bit of a roast. They kind of, 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:21.520 you know, put up some bullet points that kind of 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:23.840 poke fun at you. They pulled up for me and 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.520 this was really funny. So Blake Griffin, also a newbie 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:31.240 basketball All Star. The guy was just unreal. They showed 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:35.880 him dunking on everybody flying through the air. The greatest 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.040 highlight reel a human could ask for it. They didn't 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.600 really well, they got to the end and they'd put 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:42.480 up a silly picture of him and they had some 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.160 funny bullet points about who he was, but no, not 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:48.600 really a roast. Then they're like, okay, you know Chris Harrison, 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.480 first time DA. They pull up video and they run 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:55.560 the sound of season one of The Bachelor. I don't 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:58.600 know where NBC Sports got this, but they pulled up 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.040 this video and it's just ever. It looks you know, 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:02.960 if you've never seen it, it looks like I'm in 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:06.239 my I borrowed my dad's khaki suit that's three sizes 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.200 too big and it probably had eight buttons on it. 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:10.320 This is two thousand and two fast. 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:12.239 I like the early two thousands when men were wearing 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.000 like bright couple collared shirts. 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:15.120 I'm thinking Night of the Rock. 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.440 It looks like I hadn't shaved yet my life because 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.000 I couldn't grow whiskers. But that's so that's what they show. 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:21.560 And then they put up the silly bullet points and 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:23.680 they pulled an old picture of me from high school 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:24.720 and put it up there. 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:25.680 Where did they get a picture you? 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.280 I don't know, man, I don't know where NBC dug 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.520 to get this, but maybe NBC News. They did some 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.400 good digging to get all these pictures of us. So 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:37.040 that's it really kind of just set the tone of 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:41.080 we're having a good time. But afterwards, well, I think it's. 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.360 So important what you just said about, Like. 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:44.800 I just agree. 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:46.560 I think even I think about. 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.760 When I volunteered at Experience camps for the first time 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:51.960 last summer. I'm a confident person. Yeah, I know who 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.160 I am, Like, I know what I bring to the table, 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.080 but still just being in a new situation, and for 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.920 me in that situation, it wasn't televised and I wasn't competing. 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:03.800 You're still like, okay, how do things work here? And okay, 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:05.559 I want to make new friends and I want. 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.160 Where the flight I didn't where the first he was. 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:08.600 I mean, it was just like, you know, like where 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:10.520 do I go? Where can I warm up? 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:12.600 And was there anyone you were in when you looked 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.920 around that room, anyone you were intimidated by or in 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:17.560 awe of or nervous to meet. I mean, I know 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:18.959 you had a lot of friends there, but anyone who 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:19.720 you hadn't met yet. 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:23.199 You know, I'd never met Nate Pergatzi, And afterwards got 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.520 to got to meet Nate Pergatzi because I think he 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:27.400 is comedian who we love. I think he's the best 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:29.440 comedian in the game right now. And there's some great 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:32.680 comics doing some great work and I and that's heady company, 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.120 but right now he is doing it and doing it 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:38.160 on a level that nobody can compete with. And I've 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:39.960 you and I are such fans. We just saw him 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.400 here in austin the Movie Center, and I was delighted 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.400 to see that he was such a nice guy. I 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:49.920 had never met Colin Jost and I had met Don 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.120 Cheatle before, and we kind of knew each other from 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:54.680 playing poker. There was a poker game in LA that 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:56.640 we used to all play in and Don Cheedle was 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.160 a big poker guy, and so I knew him, and 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.440 it kind of helped that I knew Don Cheatleh because 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:05.080 he and Colin Jost were talking and Jost welcome to 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:09.320 me into the conversation. Maybe golf is the nice icebreaker 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.199 because we started talking about golf and then we got 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:13.880 into family and you know, all the travel and he's 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.800 been doing because he's been over in Asia, I guess 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:21.560 because his wife, Scarlett Johnson has been shooting a movie. 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.360 So he just came home and came right into Tahoe 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:26.440 and he just literally he said, he got off a plane, 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.680 got his stuff in LA and then or New York, 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:30.840 and then came right in and so it was just 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:32.680 good to meet some of these people that I had 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.640 never met that I was a little stand offish of okay, 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:37.480 how are they going to be? But when you're looking 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.920 around that room, I mean to my left was Roger Clemens, 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.480 one of the greatest pictures of all time. Hall of Famer, 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:46.040 Jerome Bettis, the bus running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers, 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:49.280 was right in front of me. Right behind me, Colin Jost, 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:53.319 to my right Evince Carter, Hall of Famer. I'm just like, 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.760 this is crazy. I mean, honestly, what you're thinking, is 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:58.040 what am I doing in this room? 0:10:58.679 --> 0:10:59.880 May why are you signing yourself? 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.840 Because you just and we all feel like this. It 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.199 doesn't matter who you are, you all feel like you're 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:08.160 in awe. There's so much respect and admiration and love 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.640 in the room and it kind of it really disarmed everybody. 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:16.000 There was no egos, there was no yeah, I'm better 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:19.320 than you or whatever. Everyone just sat everybody. Yeah, everybody's 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.679 done something amazing and what they're good at, and it's 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:23.920 there was just a lot of admiration and love. 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:27.080 I will say it's not something I relate to because 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:30.920 of the non sports awareness or enjoyment for me, but 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:32.160 it's very cute to. 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:34.480 Me how much grown men love. 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.439 Athletes like it, and athletes love performers. 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:39.720 Oh yeah, well that's true because. 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:41.960 Like athletes want to be rock stars. Yes, rock stars 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:43.400 want to be you know, we want to play golf. 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.600 It's like and it's and the funny thing is we 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:48.000 all shared the one thing is that none of us 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.000 are that great at golf. Like, wow, some guys are 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:51.440 really good. 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.360 Yeah, I mean that's the thing, you know, Okay, there 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:56.400 are some guys. Obviously, no one hears a professional golfer, 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.400 but there were a lot of professional athletes in other ways, 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:01.880 and so there were a few good golfs well. 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:03.640 And I should say we're kind of. 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:05.120 By the way, babe, you did pretty good. 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.160 I did pretty good, but we are kind of overlooking 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:11.480 the greatest golfer of all time, Anika Sorenstam easily the 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:14.640 goat in women's golf. She's retired now, but she was there, 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.160 so she is that good. I think she finished third 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.959 or fourth behind Marty Fish, professional tennis player. He won 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.319 it his second time to win it. He's a good 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:26.920 friend and just such a great golfer, by the way, 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.120 but a really good guy. He and his family were there. 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:33.439 John Schmoltz was up there, Mark Mulder a great pitcher. 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.760 But Anica Sorenstein was right there with the boys, kicking ass. 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:40.680 She is so sweet, so kind everybody because everyone is 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:42.959 so in awe of her as a golfer, and everyone's 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.280 just watching her swing the club. Everyone's talking to her, 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.400 trying to pick her brain. But yeah, again, you could 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:50.720 just keep going down the list. Again, there's ninety people, 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.679 and nobody is a slacker in this group. 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:55.480 Let's talk about karaoke night. 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.640 Yeah, so the big night is Wednesday night. I have 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.680 been told about this that Wednesday night's the best night. 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:05.360 It is celebrity karaoke, but it's different kind of karaoke. 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:07.680 It's on the lawn there at Edgewood, right behind the 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.080 resorts here between the resort and the lake. The sun's 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.440 going down, so you have one of the most amazing 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:16.200 backdrops ever. And it's not just your typical karaoke because 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.000 they don't just play the music. There's a band and 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:23.240 it's not just any band. It's Jada Marcus from Rascal 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:28.840 Flats and Jason Chef from Chicago. That's who's running the 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:30.280 band that's playing music for you. 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.320 Like, first of all, I've never seen karaoke with a band. 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.600 I've only ever seen it with you know, like they 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.400 push the button and the prompter comes up with the lyrics, 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:41.360 like with the bright blue background. This is you're singing 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:43.480 with a live band and it is some of the 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:45.520 most incredible musicians in. 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.800 Front of about seven hundred of US. I would think, 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.440 I think here's that many, maybe five hundred, I don't know. 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:54.000 It's a private dinner for all the American Century clients, 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:57.240 but also the celebs, our families, our spouses. Everybody's invited. 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:00.199 So video from karaoke kind of went everywhere because as 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:05.280 Travis Kelsey saying, and I believe he dedicated uh to 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:10.319 Taylor Taylor Swift. Yes, Wow, Travis got up there, and 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:15.880 I was impressed. He's saying, here I go again bye? 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:16.679 Is it white Snake? 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:17.000 Yes? 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:22.920 And a deeper voice like again again on my like gravelly, 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:26.840 like more growley than I thought, and very yeah. Just 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:30.000 a strong stage presence like I kind of I don't 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.480 know why, maybe because I've only really seen footage of 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:34.920 him at Taylor Swift concerts. I thought he'd get up 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:36.520 and do something like kind of goofy, but he like 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:37.120 sort of went home. 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:43.000 Clearly he's been paying attention, you know, watching, watching, He 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:46.000 hasn't just been on the road. He's been studying because 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.720 as you said, he didn't just come on stage and go, 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.240 you know, I'm just gonna sing White Snake and timid. 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.160 He left it all on the stage. He's like, I'm 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:56.240 gonna go and I'm gonna go big. Good for him 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.640 because he could have done the opposite. And by the way, 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:02.680 Baller move. He also flew in Wednesday, and because he 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.240 wasn't at the Player's meeting on Tuesday. He came in hot, 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:09.760 got off a plane. The car literally pulls up into valet. 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.080 He walked over to the stage. It was his turn, 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:15.560 and he walked right on stage and delivered this baller 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:20.080 performance of Whitesnake. And so kudos to Travis Kelsey, who 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:23.640 ended up winning Celebrity Karaoke. But there were some other 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:25.640 really good ones who stood out to you. 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:28.560 Dude, Jake Owen doing Van Halen. I was like, I mean, 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.520 obviously he's Jake Owen. He's an incredible singer, but I 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:32.680 you know, to hear him do he. 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.240 Did something like that jump by Van Halen, I would have. 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.000 I was like, you know, you had so many incredible 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:39.880 performers there. I was kind of like I would have 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.480 watched the whole night of just like the singers here 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:43.560 doing covers of stuff. 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:44.640 You know, that was super cool. 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:46.680 Well, you know, because Jake. I'm like, because I was 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:48.560 standing next to Jake. I've known him for quite some 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:50.800 time and he's a good friend, and I was like, 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:52.360 what are you going to do? And he's like, you know, 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:53.640 I can't do country. 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:55.120 I got it. I said, it's karaoke. 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.160 He's like, I'm gonna really blow the roof off this place. 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:01.000 And so personal request next year, like different genre. I 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:02.640 want to see him do a Broadway song. 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:05.080 Oh my god, that would be amazing. 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:07.280 Okay, the only thing I actually thought I was wrong. 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.360 I thought the Kelsey brothers would get up together. 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:13.600 Yes, I did meet Travis Kelsey as well. I actually 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:15.400 hung out a lot with Jason. I had never met 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:19.520 him before. But you know, Andrew Whitworth, who we're good 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:22.400 friends with, is really good friends with Jason Kelsey and 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:25.400 Travis as well, but really with Jason. And so before 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.760 Travis arrived on Wednesday, we had already been there a 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:29.800 couple of days, and so I hung out a lot 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:33.800 with Andrew Whitworth and Jason Kelcey. And he's such a 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:36.600 good dude, such a nice guy. Spent a lot of 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:38.600 time with him, got a chance to kind of dive 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:42.560 deep with him, and just a really interesting guy and 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:47.440 very you know what, I found stunning. And I don't 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.560 know why this would have surprised me. I know Travis's 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:54.800 life has changed exponentially because he's dating the most famous 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:58.520 woman in the world, but to see how Jason's life 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:01.840 has changed because his brother is dating the most famous 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.720 woman in the world. Is incredible. And I know he's 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:07.000 also a big figure. He's going to be, you know, 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.439 an instant Hall of Famer, one of the best, you know, 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:11.440 offensive linemen of all time and all that, and super 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:13.520 Bowl champion. So in his own right, he is a star, 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:17.399 don't get me wrong. But to walk in his wake 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.120 around Tahoe. We went to the casino and we went 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:24.760 to this one party before Travis got there, it's incredible. 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:29.680 There's a buzz around him that you would think Bono 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.639 is there. And so it really is interesting to not 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:35.800 just see how Travis his life has changed. Jason's right 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.360 there with him on that level. And then when Travis 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:43.240 got into town, it was almost unimaginable. These two walking around. 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:46.560 What rock stars they are. And they came across our 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:48.520 tea box at one point where we were about to play, 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:51.000 and they stopped and we talked for quite some time 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:53.600 and gave us hugs. And the funny thing is, no 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:56.040 matter who you are, we're all so gung ho about golf. 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:58.720 You know. Travis came up and gave me a bro 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:00.760 hug and I said, how you doing, man, He's like 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.680 I got back to zero. It is my goal here 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:06.040 to not finish in negative points because it's a weird 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.600 scoring system. They try to help the celebs. It's not 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:10.720 a typical golf tournament. You're actually not trying to be 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:14.280 under par. You're trying to score points in this Stableford 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:16.000 scoring system. And he's like, I'm just trying to get 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:18.520 to zero or above. I just don't want to be negative. 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:21.960 But we talked for a little bit and he was 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:26.360 having the time of his life. I really admire how 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.760 he's handling everything. He's embracing it. He's having a blast. 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:31.479 Don't get me wrong, he's having a blast. But he 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:33.680 really does a good job to put himself out there 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:36.720
