Dan Hurley is at the top of college basketball. The most dominant stretch in postseason play of any team ever. It was crazy. The best run of any team ever. I think we could say like, Yukon dominate everybody. The games were not particularly exciting. No.

I think they're the best second half team in the entire tournament by a vast margin. But it felt like it might be close a little bit in the first half when Zach Giede was superhuman. And he played awesome in the first half. He was the best player on the court by far. He was dunking on people. The hook shots were falling. He did look a little bit like he was seeing something new when Klingon was playing defense on him. He would turn around, he'd do that fast pivot and he'd be like, I'm not used to having a

guy's shoulder right here and a guy's hand right here where my hand is. But he was still making his shots. He just got exhausted. He got exhausted. And UConn, they have great players and they are so well coached through this two year run where you saw right away. It was clear and Dan Hurley said this after the game. He was like, we were going to let Zach Eady get his points and we were going to let him score 2030 ended up scoring what 37 D score 37 I believe so 37 he was like, but we're gonna make them

work for it. And if the rest of their team is held to 20 or less, there is no way that they can beat us. And that was exactly what they did. They were so aggressive on the perimeter face guarding. I mean, Purdue shot the three all year long. I think they had seven three pointer attempts. Like they had two in the first half. So it was very clear besides Zach Eady, the only other Purdue Boilermaker who really came to play was Braden Smith. And, you know, lawyer was was completely taken out of the game. Gillis was taken out of the game. So it was Yukon. It was, it was very similar to the Iowa game on Sunday, where it was like,

they have a great player Purdue in Zach Eady, who is a great, great college basketball player. UConn's team is so good and so well balanced. And even their guards just rebounding, they all were... I think... Kim Spencer was awesome. I think their entire starting five had over five rebounds. The team effort that it takes and the team defense. And even in the second half when Kinging got in foul trouble and it was like

oh this could be a little nerve-wracking the like dan hurley adjusted started even when clinging was in the game started doubling in the post zack eddie would throw it out guess what those guys haven't taken shots all game they're not in a rhythm they weren't making anything and they just suffocated them and stepped on them and dan hurley said it perfectly after the game we won by a lot again yeah and dan hurley also played some great defense on his own player when he went on the court He just lost his mind went on the court. He was like I need cam to move Two feet on there step steps on pushes cam and then he looks at the ref like what would I do? Yeah, why are you calling a foul on me? Like why that's not technical? Yeah, I'm allowed to that's my blacked out

I can shove my own player if I want to. That's how Danny Hurley tells players that he loves them. Yeah. And we love Danny Hurley. I know he's not for everyone. We'll get to that, especially Greg Doyle. Yeah. Indy Star. We'll get to that in a second.

But I want to talk about the game a couple more things. Yeah, the team, like watching a team like UConn throughout this two-year run, and they lost 75% of their scoring from last year, it really is a crazy thing to see. Like watching a team like Yukon throughout this two-year run and they they lost 75% of their scoring from last year It really is a crazy thing to see and you saw even some of the clips that people were posting of Dan Hurley talking about Like when we go to the transfer portal It's just as much about a team players family and like what type of like makeup they have and we don't want guys who are Jumping from school to school every year. And they've just figured it out.

Like this is a time in college basketball where we're in a weird transition, where every school is trying to figure out the transfer portal and NIL and all these things. And UConn just did it before everyone else. And now Danny Hurley's press conference after the Villanova loss in 2020, might go down as one of the coolest,

most badass clips of all time when he said, get us now because we're coming and you're not going to get us later. And that was after they lost to Villanova in 2020. And now they sit atop the throne. And I don't know, like, I don't, I don't, going three Pete would be insane, but I also think that what they've got rolling right now and their coaching staff and their system, like I wouldn't put it past them. I would not bet against you God next year. Didn't really seems to have it all figured out. His son got in the game again. Yeah. Andrew Hurley got in there. What are what's the record now? 43, 43 and all. 43 and all when Andrew Hurley plays in the game, he wanted

to shoot the ball so bad. He was, he, his dad was like yelling at him, like don't do it. He was, he was rocking that pivot foot Yeah, and then he just he turned the ball over because he's the designated turnover guy Yeah, when they need to not shoot at the end of games and let the shot clock run out So he got another turnover. I wanted him to shoot so bad so that was Where I think Greg Doyle decided he was gonna write his article because we couldn't see it But he was sitting pretty close and he's apparently Matt Painter was basically telling Andrew Hurley, go ahead and shoot, like shoot, shoot,

shoot. And so Greg Doyle was like, wow, that was a really classy move by Matt Painter. Greg Doyle also admitted that he had never, he was like, I don't watch a lot of Yukon. Is he always this much of an ass? Yes. Danny Hurley? That's what Danny Hurley does. He is and he admits he's an ass. And also Andrew Hurley gets into every, he's been into every single tournament game and he's done the same thing every And also, Andrew Hurley gets into every, he's been into every single tournament game and he's done the same thing every time. So that was, that's just what they do.

They stomp on you and then he comes in and closes out. But Greg Doyle afterwards wrote an article that was titled, On the Biggest Stage, Purdue Showed Nation What Indiana Already Knows, Boilers Are All Class, While Dan Hurley Was Really just kind of an ass. Probably the saltiest article I've ever read. I actually paid for the subscription to read it.

It was essentially just like a thousand two thousand words of him saying Matt Painter you really learn a lot about guys in the Final Four and what Matt Painter showed we should all be so proud of and Dan Hurley is a monster and a terrible guy and Greg Doyle you should just stop writing and stop covering sports because guess what? You know what people like to watch they like to watch people win and and win in ways that Dan Hurley's doing it was a shows His emotion and he's not a fucking robot and he's the new face of college basketball It was a thousand words to say I didn't watch college basketball for the last three seasons. Yeah, that's what he did. He's like, is this guy always, is this his normal? Yes, that's what Danny Hurley does. And it,

but his players like him. That's the big thing. Like if you're an ass like that, your players don't like you, you don't play hard for your coach. Um, then that can be a problem. But if your players like you and you're intense and they get it, then you can do really awesome things, which you kind of is done and we talked a little bit on Monday's show about What a dream run you must have if you're a Yukon fan who is also a Boston sports fan Yeah, which half the state probably is Somebody sent this to me. This is AWL Saber Metrics. He was born in 1991

He's a Boston sports fan and he's a Yukon fan He's had six Super Bowls, four World Series Jesus, a Stanley Cup, an NBA Championship, six men's titles and 11 women's titles since he's been born sports must kick so much ass. Don't forget the 2011 fiesta Bowl. Of course they did go to a Fiesta Bowl. How many civil conflicts have you won? Yeah, that was when they there was that little blip where they gave the Big East an automatic PCS bowl. Yeah. And they won that year. I think that was Dan Orlovsk. That might not have been Dan Orlovsk's year. I don't know who was on that team, but they went to a Fiesta Bowl. Yeah, just just a dream run. You life is so good if you're

that person. Yeah, you want a crazy crazy you you life is so good if you're that person Yeah, you want a crazy crazy. That's being told that you're better than everybody at least once a year Yeah, and you just get like there's years like oh, I even if you never win another one you had that run Yeah, that's insane, and he probably will win more, but here's a crazy wild stat for you con This is from a way too worthy on Twitter Yukon has missed 32% of the NCAA tournaments played since 1999. UConn has won 24% of the NCAA tournaments played since 1999. That's like, they go, they've never lost a championship game. They've been to seven final

fours, six national titles. It's crazy. Jim Calhoun has built something that he passed to Kevin Olly, don't forget Kevin Olly, and then passed to Dan Early. And it's crazy. Jim Calhoun has built something that he passed to Kevin Olly. Don't forget Kevin Olly and then passed to Dan Hurley. And it's, it's nuts. I mean, they are, they are the class. They have more national titles than Duke in Indiana. Think about that. That's wild to think they have the third most national titles. UCLA has 11, Kentucky has eight. Yukon has six. It's crazy. Good, good job, Yukon. I'm happy for you. Danny Hurley. I like Danny Hurley. I think he's a funny guy. I think he like gets super intense on the court and then he immediately afterwards is like, okay, I got a little carried away there. I'm going to

try to work on it. And he tries to work on it a little bit, but it's still going to come out. Yeah. That's just who he is. And he had a great, he had a great line when they asked him about Kentucky. He was just like, I don't, I just started making money. I don't want to get divorced. Yeah. you said to ask my wife about it's a great great coach line just been like listen I'm the head coach the basketball team she's the head coach of the family they did show his wife after the game respect again Jake you were on the floor what'd you think I was it was a tremendous experience very fortunate to be able to do those types of things

third straight year and second straight year interviewing Dan Hurley on the Court after he cuts down the net yeah, can we be honest about something though Jake? Yeah? Critique me as much as you want. No not you not you okay? The tournament grade the tournament yeah, I give this tournament at probably a D Yeah, it wasn't the best tournament, but like it's still the tournament. Yeah, yeah, I agree. It was tournament Yeah, so like we're not going to look back and say this was a great tournament, but in the moment these three weeks, I still enjoy them as much as I do every year. It's going to, the story is not the tournament this year. It's that Yukon went back to back. Yeah. That's

really what it is. Cause you like, we didn't have, you know, all these moments that maybe we look back and be like, Oh my God, it was crazy. It was chaotic. NC State run obviously comes to mind. But UConn, Goulke. But UConn was the story. I also will just say to the AWLs who maybe listen to this, who are Houston fans, I do think we were robbed of that because I think Houston, I do not think Houston would have beaten UConn, but I think Houston was the second best team and that's no offense to Purdue, but Purdue had an incredible run. Like they, they silenced a lot of the haters getting bounced in terrible fashion. Last few years, Zach Edie is an all time college basketball player. They just ran up against a team that was that much better than everyone else.

Yeah. Zach Edie is like when you bought like a basketball video game when you were a kid and you get to create a player, he's exactly the player that you would just like a huge guy. You're like, I'm going to make a dude that's going to dunk all over everybody. And then you dominate your loving the game. And then playing against you kind of is like when you level up the difficulty, the first game that you do that and you're like, Oh shit, this is kind of hard. Yeah. Like you come out, you still get your points, but it was it. Nothing was easy after the first half for Edie. But it's, yeah, it's not like a,

you can never feel good about losing the national championship game. But I think if you're a Purdue fan, you can at least take solace in that. Like what had happened in the last three years you had a very, like you had an incredible run that made a lot of memories. Again, it doesn't, this doesn't help right now because it's still fresh But it if Purdue had begin back if Purdue had not gotten to the sweet 16 it would have been way worse Yeah, rather lose the national championship game. Yes as much as it might hurt right now You guys had a great season a great run in Zach He will go down as one of the best college basketball players

And I think he I think the tide kind of turned where he's like the people were like, you know what? Like, let's maybe stop. Maybe that's because I don't have to deal with him anymore. I loved it when he was yelling at people when he was screaming at dudes hanging on the rim. Yeah, I like a lot of fight. He didn't have that fire in years past. And this was it was cool to see. And he was dominant. He's probably gonna be on the Canadian Olympic team. So we might not be done with Zach Eady just. And actually, I think, I don't know, I'm not an NBA scout, but I feel like the way that he played against UConn, he looked so good in that first half that there will be a team that wants to take a chance. He'll be drafted for sure. He'll probably be drafted in the first round. Someone will take a shot at it and just be like, you know, see if we can work with this. We also had, because it wasn't enough that

all the women's former players or current players went after Caitlin Clark, Draymond Green decided to chime in with said he quit. He quit. He said job well done 35. You did your job tonight. It was him that made Edie quit with about 19 minutes ago in the second half. There was a turnover and I saw Edie body language blocking back. He was done. Now rewatch the game from that point on hashtag free game. I don't know, man. Zach, he was playing his balls off and no one else was helping him. And also dream on green like you've quit a lot. Yeah. And also he was probably exhausted because he had another big man that was just leaning on him for an entire half. He wasn't used to having a big

dude like that. Just, just pushing him around all the time. So you probably, I think he just got tired. He got tired and no one made shots. Yukon's plan was, I mean, you saw it. Like they were just, they're like, all right, we'll let him go one-on-one in the post in the first half and we will make sure they were face guarding everyone being like, you're not gonna get the ball back. Heidi made a shot.

Heidi made an awesome shot. Heidi, I have Heidi number one on my NBA draft big board right now, just for that put back dunk. That was incredible. I saw that, I was like, why, why wasn't that guy starting? Yeah. It did shoot a three. Oh, Johnny Fanta. What a moment that would have been. Oh,

would have been incredible. But yeah, overall not the best tournament, but Yukon. We got to witness greatness. Yeah. They're the shout out greatness. I mean the fact that they did it double digits and again, I know not everyone gambles But 12 and all against the spread is so insane because they make the lines to make it so that it will be 50-50 Yeah, and they just it was just free money the entire two-year stretch. It's crazy Do you guys see the all tournament team they announced it right after the game who's on it Zack 80? Yeah Donovan Klingon, Stefan Castle. Tristan Newton. Cam Spencer. Okay. Oh, like what if you put Zach Eady on, on, on Yukon? That was literally

dominant. Would they be? Poor Alex Caravan. Yeah. Yeah. The only starter. He played well too. They all played well. Yeah. Yeah. This is crazy. You'd never see that where it's just first team is literally. It's like a castle was awesome Yeah, it's like when the Newton is he Tristan Newton was a like he went to East Carolina Was not looked at at all out of El Paso went to East Carolina I think his coach got fired and then goes to Yukon and wins back-to-back Most valuable player in the in the Final Four crazy awesome story Jake That's like when um when the Pistons had I think five all-star Start or not maybe not the starters, but they had five all-stars and for a period during the all-star game

Yeah, they had all five so it was the Pistons that's against the Western Conference all-stars. Yeah, that was like the Rip Hamilton Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah the five of them. She'd Wallace Ben Wallace. I was thinking about this He's on a rip Hamilton. Yeah rip Yeah, and there's some guys who you could be like, oh they built it You know Ray Allen didn't win a title, but he helped build it Who Cliff Robinson I think was there he helped build it okay for okay for won a title Rudy gay Rudy gay I feel like that has to suck Cuz that was one of the teams that was supposed to win a title loss of George Mason

It's like Bing Gordon one, right Bing Gordon one Yeah, but like you have the guys that built the teams that was supposed to win a title loss to George Mason. It's like, Bing Gordon one, right? Bing Gordon one. Yeah. But like you have the guys that built the program that you're like, okay, that makes, you know, in the nineties with Jim Calhoun, It's like, Michael Ryan. Yeah. And then just like, okay.

Uh, yeah, you're here. Yeah. This brotherhood, please, please, you can't don't do like a brotherhood weird stupid thing like that. Yeah, they'll be okay with that one. It was funny. Also seen Bill Murray spooning with Jim Calhoun Yeah, I think he's probably the only dude that could spoon with Calhoun without Calhoun punching him in the face

Yeah, Luke Murray said that he's gonna stay. Yeah, I feel like he would get a job But it's probably so much fun winning winning winning everything winning all the time inviting Calhoun on to the stage is really cool Yes, he's architect. He built the whole thing and Danny Hurley holding the trophy Yeah, they had to like, you know, they were I think it was I Might be speaking out term But I'm pretty sure when the Big East was created like Yukon kind of had to beg to get in because they didn't really fit Into the whole you know, their state school and it where they weren't they didn't have the history of so weird They left for the AAC. I know like that was a weird era. Football fucked everything and and yeah

they're back the Big East they had the Big East commissioner cut the... Yeah Val Ackerman. Yeah. So what happens if Yukon wins a third in a row because right afterwards... Bad for basketball. Right after the game was over they immediately started saying yeah I think we can win the third and I think that they can. Yeah. At that point they become Yukon women's team. Yeah they're bad for basketball. Ten years ago they're bad for basketball. Yep. And then at that point if you win three three in a row, I feel like the NBA would just toss a shitload of money at Hurley. Yeah.

Although I think he's just, I think he's going to get a new contract. I mean, so we can talk about it. He's going to have to get a new contract. And I think he is, he does want to stay. I think he will stay. It's just about like, if they offer him seven mil and then Kentucky comes in with like 12 mil. Yeah, I still think he would stay though. I do too. He so so Cal officially said that he's going to Arkansas. He posted the grainiest video ever, which was very funny. He also had on Monday, reporter found him walking his dog with his dog stroller. I think the dog was not in the stroller. Um, and it was very, it was just the most ridiculous video because Cal is like the center of all

conversation in college basketball and he's walking on a public street and he's like, I'm just walking my dog. Can you leave me alone? Yeah, it might be the most. I think it's the most sec video ever. Yeah. And he's just, he's using his dog as a shield against the media. It's like Jimbo with the food with the Christmas. Yeah, and he's just he's using his dog as a shield against the media It's like Jimbo with the food with the Christmas. Yeah, we're walking. I'm walking my dog here. Of course. I can't talk to you Yeah, so then the next day he goes home. He's like, okay I do need to make a video an issue statement So he has the same camera that they used to film Bigfoot come into his living room

They videotaped him saying bye to Big Blue Nation and then he deleted it after like five minutes Yes, everybody was roasting what a bad video was, which is a genius move because now no one's mad at coach Cal for leaving Kentucky. They're just making fun of how shitty his camera is. So like a 500 IQ play by coach Cal. Yeah, he did. Yeah. He should have done a video like this is actually for anyone who's has to leave a place and under weird circumstances, like maybe do the video and just don't have audio first yeah the worst yeah yeah yeah yeah so he's gone deleted he re-uploaded he's not a one-and-done guy after all and the new video is it's crystal clear yeah and

so we had NATO say that he's out Billy Donovan kind of said he's out Danny Hurley has kind of said he's out. Danny Hurley has sort of said he's out. So it looks like maybe Scott Drew. Scott Drew would make a lot of sense. He did build that program from like less than scratch. Yes. He brought it back from the death. He had the death penalty. Yeah. So it feels like Scott Drew is going to be the name. Although again, it's college sports. So any coach saying they're out doesn't mean anything Mm-hmm, you know at all, you know who hasn't said that he's out who patina Oh patina He's not out. He's still in she got to go back. He's still inward

He might he might pull out later, but he's in right now. It'd be great What was his biggest regret when he came on the show? Yeah, Kentucky talking to talk to you know won so many there Although I love pettino in the Italian League Yeah, it's good for this in the Italian is Danny Hurley making the Big East less Italian I don't know. He's got kind of Italian energy. He's shorter guy fiery Yeah, yeah, I mean honorary now. Yeah, He has Italian vibes. Also it was really nice hearing everyone say four of eight. Oh yeah. Oh no. Yeah. Because we're the you don't get the four of eight without without the cat. That's true. But this this has to hurt because it's

just they have become what you were. Four of eight. Well but then no because they had a lull too. They won those two. No I said they have become what you were. Yeah, but, but we're in present tense right now. Correct. But we're, we're just, we, we're going to get back. Okay. We're gonna get back. So that, that answers my question that he knows they have become what they, what Villanova was and that hurt. And now you have to deal with, you have to deal with Villanova every year. You have to deal with old Villanova. Yeah. That sucks. Yeah, no. And then there was another thing on like Nova Twitter being like, fuck.

Because we 18 was like the best team of all time. Yeah. So now it's like, no, it's, it's tough. Well, statistically, this is, this is the best team of all time. Well, you know what the funniest thing is? The, I think the highest Ken Palm rated team of all time was actually 99 Duke who lost to Yukon Yeah, but that doesn't I mean well, I'm just saying like they don't know I'm saying they

Best team of all time and they've also yeah I think would they outscore their opponents by like 140 or something something ridiculous. So yeah tough max Can you imagine if they get Cooper flag to flip? Get that Providence Twitter shit going on the it is funny watch the flip like you sure the flip the flip the flip Oh, yeah, they really like us Yeah, we're gonna have to do that. We will do that but Cooper it also is for America Cooper like I don't think Cooper flag Understands how much America is going to hate him at Duke. Yes

Just flip a lot just flip Cooper It also is crazy that everyone just keeps talking like you gone like three they literally returned nobody But like they still have just a good of a chance as any as any because they'll find someone and they'll return a couple guys No, DR is their six man's the only one who has any eligibility left. No Tristan Newton definitely does right? I don't I don't know. I was looking at a band definitely does So you're you're living in fantasy land. I don't know. I was looking it up online. That's so that the Just like a you found someone who told you exactly what you wanted to do. Everyone's a sophomore So caravan has sophomore Samson Johnson's junior. Sampson Johnson might come back. Pull a Brawny.

Tristan Newton is a senior, but let's see. He might have a COVID year. No, he's played in five seasons. So he probably doesn't. Who knows? And I wouldn't be shocked if Cam Spencer tries to take it to court to play another year, cause he just is like, I want to be, he's going to be,

you know, we make fun of Rico for succession plans. Cam Spencer will be the succession plan at UConn. Yeah, he's just gonna go meet the coach. In 10 years, he'll just be the coach. Yeah. So yeah, that's tough that you were wrong. Carabin's the only one I was wrong on. Okay.

That's a big piece. Yeah, I mean, that's the fifth guy in there. Donovan Klingon could come back. No, he can't. He's not going to. But he's good. The castle could come back. But they're not going to.

What if the NIL has changed everything now? The both of them are gonna be top ten picks. I'm just saying what if the NIL has changed everything? Yeah, all right anything else clink Kong cling Kong Yeah, go on shirt Kong shirts in IL money goes to Donovan clinging. Yeah, I showed him on the court I showed him the picture of the Shirt, and he said that's awesome. Well I hope he had seen it before that. Also, yeah. Also credit to Dan Hurley for crediting us.

Yeah. Thank you for that video, Jake. Anytime he makes a final four he's welcome to come on. We got to put that on the shirt. Brother. Yeah, brother. That's okay. You did a good job, Jake. Alright, anything else before we do Hot Seat Cool Throw and then get some Masters? Oh yeah, there's one other thing in college good job. All right anything else before you do hot seat cool thrown and get some masters

Oh, yeah, there's one other thing in college basketball a villa is in the transfer portal Yes, so yeah, but they're saying he's going straight to st. Louis to follow the shirts You know apparently in the portal you can put like a red exclamation point, which means you can't contact the player Ah, so that means why is he in the portal right because he's going to say you have to formally do it To transfer.

It was gonna be max but it's kind of a cool throne and my hot seat was... No that's hot seat. ... was kind of us but it could be a hot seat. So my hot seat is us, we're still in the third dimension. Oh yeah. You were wrong. I was kind of looking forward to it so that was... it was gonna be cool thrown But I kind of was hoping we were in the hot fourth dimension. So Well, it sucked overrated eclipse. Well, we were in a bad spot for it

But I think everyone the consensus even the people that were in the you know, well not that woman who's so magicness I will remember the eclipse is the video of the guys ball sacks. Yes So that was Mike our security guard sent it to me. I sent to everyone in my phone He then tweeted it and then I think I saw a Mexican News station actually put it on air. Yeah. Yeah that video rocked and they were just mortified by looking But yeah, we were not in the the zone of totality. Is that what's called the path of totality totality? But I did have a particle physicist reached out to me Path of totality. Path of totality.

But I did have a particle physicist reach out to me last night and they were talking about Hank's performance on the podcast on Monday and all the things that Hank got wrong. And apparently this physicist wants to turn the CERN Collider onto you and just make you disappear because you're so wrong about everything. I would be down if there's like a test know test dummy to get to the fourth dimension like I'd be the Christopher Columbus of that now. How do you know that that we're not in the fourth dimension though you don't Maybe maybe I guess we'll find out tomorrow when he pots maybe this fourth dimensional Hank is really good at golf Tomorrow mini golf open so if we've yeah if I'm good then maybe we're in the fourth dimension right exactly

If you hit every hole in one then we're we were there 4d that'd be sick yeah people used to call me 2d in high school so skinny my cool throne is max oh he's going to be living his dream yeah yeah I think we alluded to it on Monday you guys were confused what I was talking about but this Friday 412 starting at the Barstool bar Max is going to be which Barstool bar Barstool bar in Philly okay Max is going to lead the first hundred people that go to the Barstool bar they'll get a ticket to ride the chill train and go to the Sixers game it's pride night coincidentally oh it is pride night uh and at 6 p.m. there's gonna

Nice. Magic. Good basketball team. Big win. Got to win on Friday night. Let's go, Max. Okay. Have some pride. PFT. Let's go, Max. OK. Have some pride.

PFT, your hot seat, cool throne. My hot seat is every Major League Baseball pitcher, because they've all got elbow issues. Yeah. And they're all getting Tommy John. They're all getting UCL injuries. How many have there been this year? A lot.

There have been, it feels like, six quality starters that have gone on the DL with some sort of shoulder tightness. And I looked up the stat. Starting pitchers that throw 96 and 1 by miles per hour in a season from 2019 to 2023, they're all injured. All of them have been injured. I'm looking up and down this list right now. We've had even a couple more added in the last two days.

Seems like every good pitcher is getting hurt this year. Well, we talked about on Sunday, like it's just everyone's obsessed with velocity throwing it so fucking hard. And the uniforms and the uniforms are an additional issue. But yeah, the list just keeps growing day by day by day. My cool throne, I'm going to put so I'm going to switch it up a little bit. My cool throne is the master's app. We're going to talk to Max home about it in a second. I re download the master's app. It's a tradition Max home about it in a second I redownload the master's app it's a tradition unlike any other and when you log into the first time it just feels it's such a great way to come down from the NCAA tournament being over and now you have the master's app back which is

the greatest piece of technology ever invented yep and you open it up and you're like everything's going to be okay yeah because the master's apps here and it's comforting and it's perfect to be okay. Because the Master's app's here, and it's comforting, and it's perfect, and it runs as smoothly as anything. I fucking love the Master's app. Yeah, I do too. All right, my hot seat is NBA Playoff Strategy. So we had two things.

One, someone on Twitter threw this out there that I just, I'm very interested in what you guys think. He said, is it legal for players to kiss as a strategy? Let's say that it's the finals, game seven in a crunch time. If Luka starts kissing Kyrie, not a single defender will be watching the ball leaving Exum open for an easy three. Would Luka and Kyrie be called for a tech or would the points count? I think it counts. We talked about this on the show. Yeah. I think this was our idea. Oh, so someone stole it from us. Old. Yeah, that's okay. Sorry. All right. You just, you

remember the old, like you've seen it in, in like, uh, like high school tapes where one player will get on the ground falls down like a hog. All right. So that's it. That thing. Yeah. Just make out with Kenny. Is it a foul to make out with your opponent? No, I don't think so. Is that, I don't know, we need to get a rule of thumb. Your opponent probably, but you're still made. I was like, this sounds vaguely familiar, but then it was from yesterday, so I was like, damn, someone's, they're just stealing us from 2018. Yeah.

But here's the new strategy that no one's ready for. The Bulls unveiled tonight the double person dunk. It didn't go in, but I think if it did it would have counted for four points. Do you think it was a double dunk or do you think the guy behind was trying to block the shot? No, I think it was, so Torrey Craig went to throw it up off the glass to himself and Andre Drummond thought he was throwing it to him and they both tried to dunk at the same time

and neither of them dunked, but I'm pretty sure if it had gone in it would have been a double dunk four points. Yeah, it's hard to defend the picture of them of Sorry, Craig just being like what the fuck? Why is there someone on my back trying to dunk this ball? You should never try to do something like this when you're losing. Yeah, Andre German also turned his ankle like the next play Yeah, so the Bulls yeah, they're gonna They're gonna figure it out also, I I do think, I think the only reason that Billy Donovan is still alive for the Kentucky

job is that Jerry Reinsdorf would pack his bags for him. Being like, now I don't have to pay you because there was a story in the Chicago Sun Times today about Jerry Reinsdorf and the White Sox. He said, a source recently said that Reinsdorf, who is also the chairman of the White Sox, knew that manager Pedro Grafal had put in a fireball season by mid-summer of 2023, but he wanted to wait at least a year so the dead money wasn't as big a hit. Okay. So just terrible employees, but being like, I don't want to pay him. Yeah. But that's good that they're... They might move on though. Or did they already move on? No, they haven't.

Oh, that's bad. Yeah, that's what he's dealing with. Alright my cool turn, I got two as well. One is anyone who loves coffee because Stella Blue, we have the golden mug. We have done our first golden mug of the year. It's going to be all day today, all day Thursday. We got new merch. This hat is in the store.

All the coffee is stocked. Cold brew season's here. And five people are going to win a custom Stella Blue golf bag and a new driver. So five people can win the golden mug. It's going to be great. Obviously, we give money to dogs, Paws, Chicago. But yeah, we got all the new merch, hats, coffee, everything. I

love doing the gold mug because it makes me feel like Willy Wonka. So go buy it right now. And then my other cool throne was the Chargers because Jim Harbaugh has unveiled his new strategy, which our friend Sam Schwartzing has told us. He has all kinds of stuff like this, but Jim Harbaugh has made some locker room changes not only are players lockers rearranged numerically but each players nameplate now shows the recruit level coming out of high school not ranked through five star recruit level. I like that. We all just we all we all came from a different place and now we're here all this together.

Remember also for the guys that weren't highly recruited remind them of that every day. Khalil Mack. I think he was zero stars. People think you suck. Right. He also when I asked Sam what this probably meant and he said that he just loves to rank stuff loves to remind everyone that doesn't matter where you started we're all in this together and then he said that Jim Harbaugh used to call, he'd classify all the players at Stanford. And the lowest classification was bus rider, steak eater, because they don't play. They just go to games and eat the team meal. I think I like that. I think that's right. Or sticky when Harbaugh was

making this list, when he was assigning all the different stars, all the players from their past, he probably in his head thinks like all the players that were zero stars Those are my core guys. Yeah, like I want 53 of those. Yes on my team Yes, but the Chargers changes have started. All right, Jake. My hot seat is basketball fans. Oh Giannis Non-contact injury tonight. What's MRI? I saw I saw some some unauthorized aggregator Twitter accounts posting this They don't think that it's an ace in Achilles They think it's a calf Doc Rivers says postgame his level of concern is high, but he's the honest

I think everyone probably feels the same way as I do right now So we're just hoping to hope for the best the Bucs have had the season from hell Yes, like you have Doc Rivers as your coach. Yeah, so we don't have many season from hell. It feels like you have Doc Rivers as your coach. Yeah. So we don't have many, not all the other Hank. I mean that was had to be the only team you were even slightly worried about. That had to be the only team you're slightly worried about. I never root for injuries. I mean Pat Bev, they said he was going to be out for this season. He's he started on it, got 20 and 10 belt the ass. But are you, does this that if he's playing I'm not worried. I mean, all right right were the box the only team that you had a little bit of worry about not really. Okay

They're gonna they they're still fighting for the two seed against the Knicks and if they get it then you could potentially rest Yeah, but then they'd have to they might be playing the Sixers or the Heat So yeah Celtics are in the finals. Pro Football Doc says, probably not Achilles. Oh, okay. That's good. It'll be fun. Calf is not good though.

Calf's not good either. Calf is not good. Alright, Jake. My Cool Throne is the Champions' Dinner. It took place tonight. Oh yeah. And Max, if you want to pull up the picture of Big Cat, I feel like this is kind of like the coach's picture.

It is. Light version. Yeah. Light version. Yeah, light version. But they're all dressed the same. Oh no, DJ Sanger. You have it, their a light version. Yeah light version, but they're all Smiles are different. Yeah So what do you yeah what stuck out to me was immediately Phil Mickelson Phil if you zoom in on Phil

That's a man who I don't think he had much of an appetite for dinner. I think he probably Yeah, he took his he's wide-eyed Yeah, he's looking like he's ready to go to a Florida Panthers game. He's very alert for this dinner. Yeah I also it just reminds you like if you win a Masters That's just gotta be the coolest thing be like every year once a year Yeah, I get to go to this we do like a part of my take dinner for life. What do you mean? Like we just have dinner. When? Once a day?

Sunday? Sundays. Yeah. No, just like once a year, like in 50 years. Yeah, but then we would have to invite Billy. That's true. We'd also have to invite his 50 secret service agents. Yes, that's true.

Oh yeah, you might be president. Yeah, we could do that. We'll do that at the White House. We have to invite Jilly. Yeah. Okay, if Billy gets elected president one day. We will have an annual part of my take dinner. Oh, he's in the Lincoln bedroom at the White House. How fast if Billy became president would he just forget that we exist? No, he would arrest us. Yeah. You'd have a send a secret message and podcast. Yeah. Those would just not be part of anyone who said

one word on a mic. Yeah. I also also love John Rahm's facial hair in this yeah He's got the white socks Dave beard going on Yeah, Tigers looking good Fuzzy, where's fuzzy Zeller? Is he alive? I also know where I think so. He's not there Angel's not there. No, you're really you really are dimplehead. No, I know he's not there I'm saying I don't know where he is fuzzy zeller is Alive all right. Let's go fuzzy good job fuzzy. Wow who's who's the Wilford Brimley guy?

The guy with the mustache the fat guy with the most that guy's on TV all the time. What's his name? He's on TV. He's your verse image. Yeah, who's that? No? We're showing ourselves right now people could be like oh fuck How did you not know that guy? He's always on TV. It's gonna be bad. That's good podcasting and this is really bad podcasting champions Wilford Brimley, maybe it is is Wilford Brimley did not win a green jacket Wilford Brimley did not win a green jacket It looks exactly like him all right well. We'll just have people tell us how we were wrong, and we didn't know anything and This is gonna suck if it's a name that we should have known pft. I'm telling not I asked Kirk earlier I didn't recognize it and what did he say I forget. What do you mean?

It's an old guy's name All right, we're doing the image search right now. Okay. Nothing's going on. This is great. This is bringing up a lot of green jackets. Great podcasting. You think Augusta has a trademark on that Pantone green?

This is doing nothing for us. Oh wait. Does that say his name? No, it doesn't. Most likely to call his waitress sweetheart. That's true. That's very true. Scroll, maybe someone replied in it.

Two words, sex symbol, okay? Oh Man Alright, this is gonna kill us see I'm just gonna type old guy Someone said Wilford Brimley old guy more than brimley mustache and golf.

He's getting ready for his masters. The year that he finally puts on a green jacket. Max, I actually have to ask you a question first

because this has been in the headlines. Your wife is not pregnant right now, is she? No. OK, all right. That was in the headlines? No, not you specifically, but Scottie Schaeffler said that he would leave if his wife goes into labor. So I just wanted to, we needed to make sure

that you weren't going to leave at any point if you're leading the Masters I think we're all sadly rooting for her to Someone's gonna send her some Thai food or something Alright so how are you feeling, Max? Yeah, good. It's been great.

I was waiting to tell you, I'm playing with Brooks tomorrow in the part three, so we're getting the pardon my take vibes. Love that. About as good as they come. So I think that's a really good start to the actual event. That's great. I saw that you were paired with your childhood hero, Tiger Woods. I also saw that your screen name when you were a kid was next Tiger Woods 59. Yeah, I've gotten a lot of people you haven't been one of them shockingly, PFT, but I've gotten a lot of people saying, oh, all the kids say that's cap now and they say that's cap. It was 69. And I was like, well, it was, and I am I was like, nine years old. It was 59 because of golf. Like, it's even nerdier. Yeah, mine was like, well, it was, and I am, it was like nine years old. I don't think it was 59 because of golf.

Like it's even nerdier. Yeah. Mine was like a sweet score in golf. I guess as you get older, 69 becomes significantly sweeter, but, uh, yeah. Uh, it's, that was it. Next time it was 59 about as embarrassing as it gets. All right. So we got to though, he's just a guy.

We can't be a puddle around him. He's just a though. He's just a guy. We can't be a puddle around him He's just a guy. No just a guy. Just a guy. Just a really really cool Childhood hero of mine, but no it actually has been easier since the first time I played with that We've got to be a lot closer pft though I feel like you were just about to tell me your embarrassing name, and I would like to feel better about mine I mean yeah, it was it was sixty nine sixty nine. Oh, I held out the word six nine and then numbers. Yeah, I was.

You're such a bad. Yeah, I was fucking you know me. And only get the dick wet a little bit. You know, oh, speaking of that, God, it was so. I saw the other news about Tiger Woods that he's not having sex leading up to to this Masters tournament. Are you taking a similar route? Some days by choice, some days not, I guess.

I don't know who, nobody cited their source there, but I'm not sure. Tiger's got a friend close enough to him that would talk to the media that were true. So I'm so confused by, I feel like some guy just asked somebody and said, yeah, yeah, I'm sex now. Like I, I don't, I don't know how you get close enough to him to know that. And then if you did get close enough, I'm pretty sure you're usually quiet as a mouse. So that was a weird story, man. But I mean, good for that, uh, journalists. Yeah. Yeah So that was a weird story, man. But I mean, good for that journalist.

Yeah. Yeah. It was a weird story. I mean, we, our only theory was that maybe his tiger's penis wrote that story. Cause like, that's the only one who would know. Uh, but yeah, that was definitely a weird story. That might be like a classic NFL smoke screen thing where tiger has one friend that he thinks is running his math a little bit. Yeah. So he only tells that one friend that story to see if it gets out, and now that guy's out of the circle. I wonder if that came out, and he's like, oh, gotcha, bitch. He's like, fuck, now the story's out.

Damn it. Should have come up with something a little less weird. Yeah. Damn it. That's a good point. Yeah, I didn't think about that one. Max, kind of a weird question. You're a Die Hard Dodgers fan.

If you get a text on Thursday morning from a number you don't recognize and it's Shohei Otani and he's like, hey, I just put $4.5 million on you win the Masters, would that be more pressure or less pressure? I mean, it sounds about on brand because he sounds like, I mean, if he was gambling and he was down 4.5 million putting all of it on me to win the Masters sounds right about on par. Yeah. For lack of a better pun. That's been crazy. I mean we We've been dumbfounded enamored a little bit just by how you can be that far in the hole Yeah, even if it wasn't him that's impressive in that book. He is

What if what a guy just take it on some serious feet? Yeah, the whole situation that I need a, I need a documentary about the whole thing, but whether it was show, Hey or not. Yeah. It's, it is a fascinating story and the Dodgers are a super team. So it's like, it's nice that they gave us this one thing we can make fun of when they win like 115 games this year. Yeah. Joe said it best this morning. He goes, is like bad world, perfect world would be if show. Hey, somehow got suspended and we still won the world series. So he, that we didn't have to listen out. We like bought our team for, but yeah, that would be best case, worst case,

I guess. Yeah. So, so in terms of your game right now, I know you played last week. You usually don't play the week before the Masters you decided to this year What was that decision about? Why'd you figure? Okay, you know what? I won't take a break this year. Great question PFT I typically sit at home and I try to get my golf game like as perfect as I can get it And I noticed when I show up here like on a Monday You know, I'm just trying to hold on onto it when you're really just getting going Monday to Wednesday, you know, you're getting moving and seeing what's working and going and checking out the golf course instead of just trying to be like a perfect robot of a golfer.

So I felt like if I went last week, I would get a bit more into like golf. I never remember what side of the brain you're supposed to use. I'm not going to ask Mac because I think he only uses like one side anyways. Right brain I think. He's the front of his brain. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Only the front. The first thing that comes to mind. Yeah. I think it's right brain. I get too left brained at home and I'd like to play a bit more right brain. So I tried to do that a bit more last week. So yeah. How would you say Max is doing holding up your name right now? Great That was not a question for Christopher delante that was a question for max homo

I'm doing but I'm doing a really good job over here. So I just wanted that The eight minutes I'm on this show once every like four months you are bad girl not max So if someone asks max a question, it should be at me. Yeah, that's all I asked eight minutes The 8 minutes I'm on this show once every like 4 months you are bad girl not Mac. So if someone asks Macs a question it should be at me. Yeah. That is all I ask. 8 minutes. So.

But he's doing alright. I mean he's got more seconds than I do so that's something. Yeah. That's yeah that's a fair point. You've been in the news a little bit recently, Max. You've had a couple shots that have either hit a patron or come close to hitting a patron the one last week was so funny where the dude just fell over as he like tried to step away from it. I wish I could have seen it from the T. That was a bummer. I saw it on Instagram after I was like oh man I would have really I

actually would have given a good laugh at that guy with that guy. A lot of effort. I don't know what the plan was. He was doing a great job. He was trying to get out of the way. And he obviously is not as athletic as maybe he once was and didn't realize the limitations of his body at his current age. And then just tumbled backwards onto the ground. But everybody had that guy's back. Everybody was like, great job as a volunteer. That's what you should be doing, getting out of the way, trying to track the ball. I think people appreciate effort. Yeah. Sometimes you fail, but effort is important. And that guy had all of that. He had no athleticism, unfortunately, for him. But I loved it. He got out of the way, then in the way, and then like rolled out of the way again.

He did everything really fast. But I like how he just laid there just looked up in the sky like yeah Damn, probably like just completely regretted ever volunteering for like those two seconds. Yeah, I know I'm on TV space that you make yeah Right in that moment he was thinking about what the next two days of his life were gonna be like people just sitting in that video Repeatedly, yeah moment he was thinking about with the next two days of his life were gonna be like people just sending him that video repeatedly. Yeah. Yeah. And he doesn't have Instagram. So every time they said it in the Instagram link, he has to say, I don't have an Instagram. Download it, read the comments and be like, Oh, none of these are nice. I thought it'd be nice and jolly and fun. I didn't know that internet was so terrible. It is a terrible place. I got a dumb question for you, Max. So there's rain in the forecast on Thursday. We love, we're, we're regular guys that just love whenever a plan gets canceled

period. I don't care if it's like a good thing, a bad thing. If you, if you, I have something I have to do and then you tell me I don't have to do it. I'm like, Holy shit, that's awesome. I basically have free whatever time. Is that similar with, with the situation with the rain or are you like, I want to go? I like, let's go. That's actually funny question. Yeah, because I is the master. So I'd assume it's maybe not like us, but like I could, you could tell me I'm going on vacation and then be like, no, actually it got canceled. I'd be like, oh, awesome. Now I can sit and watch nothing for three days. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good point. I would say typically I'd be pissed cause I would like to just get going, but this week's a bit unique. I have, uh, some of my friends stay at my house this week. big cat. So you're just trying to have your kid not bump his head on something.

So this week is a little different being home is not so bad. So I guess for this one, I won't care too much if we don't get going, but it is always you get a little antsy as it gets close, but I don't think it's quite the same as, as when you have a flight and you're like, Oh, thank God, I don't have to get on it, uh, even though you want to leave. Uh, but it's, it's a bit similar. I mean, you kind of get itching and ready to go. And if it gets pushed all the way to Friday for us,

that would suck. But I don't know. Maybe Tiger will want to come over and play like shoots and ladders or something. And I feel like that would be a nice little adjustment. So I guess I could float that idea. That'd be very fun. I also have a dumb question.

Do you download the Master's app? Hell yeah. Yeah, OK, cool. It's like the best app ever. It is for one week. It's our favorite thing. Yeah. So even though, even if you're playing in the tournament, you download the app, you can check in on people you do like, do you actually like watch the masters as a fan while you're competing in it? Yes, absolutely. Uh, I guess I kind of like, cause on the PJ tour app, it's similar you star like your favorites or whatever. But the master's apps just one week and there's less people. So I like going through and seeing who I'm going to star for. Yeah, yeah.

curious what this guy's gonna do this week. So I'll star him up. So I do enjoy going in and almost at the end of the week being like, what prompted me to starve? So, and so why did I give a shit at any point in the tournament? But yeah, it's fun. They do a good job. You can see all your shots too back, which is pretty, that's rare for us. So that's, that's cool. But yeah, it's just like a nice dirty thing. I like the golf nerdy shit. How, another dumb question. How tiring is Augusta? Because I, all I hear about is like you, we we're watching on TV. We've never been,

we want to go some year, but like people talk about, you know, the walking in the Hills, it's a lot more steep than you realize. Is it actually like after 18 holes, you're like, okay, that was, that was different than a regular course. I'm that's definitely a golfer thing to say to make us feel better. But yeah, I mean, I don't know how the fuck Joe does it with the bag. Yeah, there's just a couple hills, eight and 18. Just I already walk fucking weird. Watch how low my chest

gets to the ground halfway up both those hills, I fucking dragon ass going up eight and 18. It's steep as shit, man. Like it is. It is. I wouldn't say you're like dead tired by any means but it's definitely sneaks up on you Yeah, yeah, what's your favorite hole? But you're leading me to a joke here I'm not no no no no no I'll start first vagina You know that means I got a pick I our first vagina. You know, that means I got it. I mean, they got to pick.

I just took one of them. Okay. I'll go second mouth. Okay. You're up, Max. Fuck. Yeah. The 13th hole. Okay. Okay. Good answer. Good answer. Good answer. God, you guys pick the two ones. I should have just spit it out earlier.

We got the clear one, one, and one, too. Yeah, man, that's such an obvious couple picks. The 13th, okay, so we gotta watch you on the 13th. 13th, sick. How has the gallery been? Has everyone been behaving themselves? I know Augusta's different. This week's clean.

Yeah, this week's clean. But other tournaments, is everyone? One yesterday, oh, in general? clean, but other tournaments have won yesterday. Oh, in general. No, I started one yesterday. I couldn't, I couldn't believe he had the balls to do it at Augusta. Um, it's getting a lot better. I was pretty impressed, but then there's just some weeks, these guys, they go fucking nuts, but, uh, it's gotten better. Uh, I'm getting, definitely hearing a lot more parvats. Oh good. Which I'll, I will accept for the time being, um, I still contend beyond my

favorite thing that happens is every week or two, someone will scream homosexual, which they, I mean, they yell at all the whole time, whole day, everybody's like, I'm a homosexual, homosexual. Most of the time, a lot of the people around them get it, but got it hit so hard last week, some guy screamed it. And you could just tell there was like a group of 10, 15 guys that did not know what it was, like what they were getting at and they lost their shit laughing so hard. They were just so confused.

Like, what a weird place, you know, golf course, the 16th hole to come out. Yeah. It was fucking, and you can, it makes me laugh so hard because I think my What a weird place, you know golf course the 16th hole to come out Yeah Fucking and you can that makes me laugh so hard because I think my favorite part about people not understanding Why I don't like being called a pervert in public is that they can't separate the internet from real life Yes, like you're not everyone gets that this is a joke and I'm not going to explain it and I am a real person and that this is a joke and I'm not going to explain it and I am a real person. Uh, and so I like when people do shit from the internet in public and then almost get like embarrassed. Right. Yeah. No, no, no. It's a joke, dude. And everyone's a, well, well, what do you mean? And they're like,

no, it's from a podcast. Just in part of my thing. What the fuck is that? No, it's big cat and PFT. And they're like, what the fuck is a big cat and PFT? I listened to it. I'm just like, yeah, how dumb do you fuck? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The funniest jokes are when you have to explain them like for minutes and minutes. Yeah. Yeah. And homosexual I love because you could piece it together. Like it's a great, y'all came up with it. It's a great idea, but like the pervert one takes like eight levels of explaining. Yeah.

Yeah, dude. It doesn't sound good anymore. Right? Yeah. I like the idea of a guy saying like standing and be like, I am a homosexual. And then the whole crowd looking at him and like slowly breaking into applause. Like congrats. I'm so proud of you. At Tampa two years ago, guy on the 10th tee, kid walks up, dad and his son were standing next to him. He goes, Hey Max, I'm a homosexual. And I, and I like nodded and the dad looked at him and just a game like a nod of approval. Like, good for you, man. It's cool for being proud. This is a heartwarming moment. He doesn't get the pet. He's telling a different story to his family when he gets home.

And I was just like, man, what a time to be alive. Yeah. Well, we will laugh every time. Yeah. We'll reiterate, uh, eight of those have to police each other. No, we're rooting for Max. We want Max to do well, so let's get him in a good spot. I know Augusta is different because it's just prim and proper, but like when you're back on the tour, everyone just do a good job. Matt, we listen, we want Max to win. So then he'll win us money and show. Hey, yeah, exactly. Yeah. We want max to win so then he'll win us money and show hey. Yeah exactly. Yeah

Yeah, allegedly Maybe just his translator. Yeah, that's that's a weird wrinkle to the story that the the bookie Issued a four point five million dollar line of credit to a guy that makes like two hundred grand a year Maybe he was up a lot for a while. I don't know. Yeah. Handshake agreement. I don't know what goes on over there. So Max, what can we expect this weekend from you? What's your goal? Goals to win. A game does feel really good. Getting a little bit more comfortable. I'm excited. I don't know. I feel like something about majors gets you amped up, but I feel like I've done a good job of just enjoying my weekend, trying to be myself a bit more and have a bit more fun. I love that. And I feel like you have come a long way from whatever it was five, six years ago when I was like, can you win it? So, and I know you can win it now. Like I just favorite questions. I gotta ask myself that every week. So I'm gonna ask myself Thursday, right before I walked in and say, can you do this? And then I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna answer it honestly. And I'm just very hopeful that answers.

Yes. Yes. Get the, get to swinging. You've been playing great golf last couple of years. You're, you're, you're ready to go. You're ready to go. I know. I think I know now that on a good week, if I can kind of, if things go the way, you know, they can go, I know I can win it, which I guess is different than maybe a few years ago where I didn't know if my great golf was good enough. I know for a fact my great golf's good enough. It just needs to come out the right week. So let's just hope it's this week. But that's got to feel awesome to be like, I know that if I just play to the best of

my abilities, I can do this. That's a huge difference. It's a big difference. It's a little bit more common knowing that, like, it doesn't need to be perfect. It just needs to be good. And I've done that enough times to know. I think it would be the pressure on Sunday, that would be the most unique thing. But as far as the golf goes, like I think, fortunately, I've lived enough for this golf, these golf like experiences and know like I can physically do what needs to be

done. So it'd be fun to get to see. Eventually have an opportunity to see what that's like when you're kind of getting down to the nitty gritty. Yeah, I would love that. Max. I we might cry. We might cry if you win. Yeah, I will cry with you guys. I'll lead the charge. If you win, you'll be on with your green jacket on Sunday night. Which would be incredible.

I have not been drinking at all trying to get ready for this whole part of the season. I am really looking for an excuse to get White Girl Wasted. I'm ready for it. Sunday would be a great time. I'll cry and I'll get White Girl Wasted with you. Yes. Solidarity. OK, we'll deal. We're just hammering because Max won.

Yeah, Max won. Max, I got one last question. Rowback question, r-h-o-b-a-c-k.com promo code take 20% off for first purchase. Q-zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Rowback.com promo code take. Thank you for doing this. I know that you you got a busy schedule

and we appreciate your time very, very much. Also, my last question is not a question. It's just, I wanted to apologize to you in, in face to face. We've texted, uh, I lashed out. I was a bitch. I actually, honestly, the, the whole Wisconsin JMU thing, I've been in like a mental funk for like a month or three weeks Because I hate how I was and I've got myself I haven't even read like I'm sure there's people online who've said really mean things and I've done a good job of avoiding that But know that I've I've hated myself more than any anyone in the world the last three weeks. So there's no it's good I've been a bigger bitch than that. So I mean, yeah, we all have moments. Yeah, we all have Yeah, yeah, the only part the only part of the podcast

I didn't like when you lashed out was that you said my joke was a very good It was good You know, we're gonna text me if the am big I was glad Hank pointed out. He's like you do this. Yeah No, he was right. I was a point I can I can read it here. This is, uh, this is during the game. Was it a half time? No, it was whenever I've been at halftime at halftime. Hey, just wanted to let you know, I'm watching the game and I'm rooting for your team. I know he'll be mad, but that makes it even better. And then he followed up with, Oh shoot. I didn't mean

to send this to both of you guys. And there was only one person who could be mad in the moment because Wisconsin played terrible. And the other thing is that I didn't mean to send this to both of you guys and there was only one person who could be mad in the moment because Wisconsin played terrible and the other thing is that I didn't explain well was it wasn't you it was two people who? for my private life who texted me that I was very upset about that I didn't want to say their names, but That was what I was like I didn't realize he was a great guy that was still great to have a He I didn't know you could send like a FaceTime message a FaceTime message and I didn't see it for a week and then I pulled it up and I just I deleted Right. He was just like smiling and it was the end of the game and he's like, hey buddy, and I just deleted it right away I was like, I'm still not ready

He probably turned off the game at halftime anyway. No, he's watching with me. I was talking to him the other day and he was, I was telling me about the game and he said he was basically a personal security guard. PFD because he thought you're going to fight every Wisconsin fan in the building. Yeah. They didn't want any of this though. They're all talk. A bunch of yapping dogs. They're not going to fight a big old pit bull like you.

That's, that's also very funny. Versilla to be like, I stepped up for it. That's Brazil's dream. He's like Mark Wahlberg moment being like, Oh, I'll fucking it would have been different if I were there. Also, max, you can back girl. You can correct me if I'm wrong. We're still didn't step up to anything. Yeah, no, but he, I, I, in his head back to guy down in his in his head. Yeah, no that was still Yeah, it was essentially you it was essentially you but I mean there was the there was the initial interaction and then it was funny Just hearing Rusell will be like hey, like I know this is like probably a little little tough for you to hear But like he is a big deal Also, I had Batgirl and Rusella with me. Like that's such a beefy security team.

No one's fucking- That's literally, Rusella goes to bed at night and he's like, I really wish that someone would step to one of my friends so that all these squats I'm doing in my garage by myself are worth it. Like that's his dream. I've got this running joke, but like a real thing. Like when I'm, and it has nothing to do with like being like a golfer and not wanting to have to talk to somebody who might know me. It's more like when I'm in an Uber or I meet a stranger at times and they say, and you're

in like close quarters and they ask you what you do. My running joke's been that I'm a real estate agent because my wife is, so I know a lot about it. So I just don't want to talk about golf. I imagine that Rosillo's answer to that, if he does this, is a bouncer because he wants people to make him a bouncer. He has one of the coolest jobs in the world, but I almost guarantee you he'd be like, I wish it mattered how strong I was. I wish I could talk about this more. Yeah. Yeah. It absolutely is what he answers or just like something that everybody would hate so that they try to pick a fight with him

Yeah That's actually a really good idea. Yeah, I actually beat up dogs for a living All right, well max best of luck we're rooting for you have fun with Brooks tomorrow we had him on too Best of luck. We're rooting for you. Have fun with Brooks tomorrow. We had him on too The only two bets I made I'm riding with my boys. So let's let's go get a jacket.

I got the goose egg though. Oh no. Well we're doing the green jacket this year then later the master. Yeah yeah. We're going to do the real masters. Yeah. Which is Blake of the year. Yeah. So it is Brooks Kapka. Yeah. Our guy from Smash FC. No. GC. GC. Brooks thank you for joining us. It is masters week. Let's just start here. How you feeling? How, how is the game feeling? How's the mental's feeling? Uh, and just so you know, we also are going to make sure that Hank does not jinx you this year. Yeah. I think that's, that's the big thing I need to hang to, to lay off. Um, feel good, man. Feel really good. Really happy where I'm at and, uh, excited for a good week. It'll be a lot of fun. Need a little redemption.

Yeah. So compare it to this week last year, because I think a lot of people didn't really understand that Brooks was back last year at this time. You were telling people you feel good, games in a good place. Now people know that Brooks is back. Are you feeling better than you did last year? Best shape of your life? You're not in the best shape of my life, but yeah, I mean, I'm getting old, man.

Dead body. It's in right now. Wait. Um, but yeah, I feel good. What was the best shape of your life? I probably want to do that body shoot for ESPN or whatever. Yeah. I lost like 30 pounds that was stuck.

But yeah, that was best shape of your life. You're not imposing nude shape, but you're imposing... Would you do a nude body shoot only wearing the green jacket? Absolutely. That would rock. Absolutely. If that happens, yeah, yeah, it would be a general move.

Yeah, I saw a picture by the way of all the live the live guys Sergio treated were coming for that green jacket when he says we is it you? Is it we're we're are you guys playing as a team? Does he know that it's not a team masters? I feel like he should know that it's not a team event right now. Yeah, I would I would like to win. I'll throw my name into the ring there. Yeah, I want you to win it too. Not just because I bet on there Yeah I want you to win it to not just because I bet on you but because you're a friend and also you'd come on After and show us the trope or the green jacket and that would fucking rock Yeah, and but if you win you have to give partial credit to Sergio though because that's a we win

Oh for the league I gave the weed to PMT oh, yeah, that's the week. Yeah, I win I win? We win. Yes. I like that. I like that. So Brooks, I saw you had a piece in golf.com yesterday, maybe yesterday. And it was 10 lessons that Brooks Koepka taught me in 32 minutes. One of the lessons, so you did 10 lessons. The first one is don't think about anything, which I love. But then lesson, what was it? It was like seven. Lesson eight was don't think about consequences.

And lesson four was, again, don't think about anything. So three of your 10 lessons were just don't think. Honestly, fellas, that's the best way to be. It's the best way to be. I just kept scrolling and I was like wait we're not oh just a reminder but don't you think that if you're telling everyone to not think about anything now they're thinking about not thinking about anything which is perfectly that's right where I want them. Okay all right but when you when you step up to the golf ball like I understand what you're saying Yeah, yeah Yeah, when you step up to the ball

I get what you're saying because you you go on to to tell the guy like you want to react and in golf There's no reaction Usually you have to you know You set up and you do a lot of thinking and most people think when they're hitting a golf shot But you want to make it so you react so you completely like shut your mind off and act like When you open your eyes, this is just oh, there's a ball. I got to hit it now. Yeah. Well, usually you're standing behind guys that are playing really slow. So it's like five and a half hours. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

Yeah. You get a lot of time to think. So if you don't think for that five and a half hours, it's beautiful. Yeah. I like the other lesson that you had on there, which is that you only warm up with your odd clubs. Is that, is that only you? Like you only warm up with nine iron, seven irons, five irons, three irons. Yeah. I think it might, I don't know. I guess, I don't know. I've always done it that way. I don't know. Um, I never really looked at anybody else, what they're doing on the range, but yeah. Um, I would say, yeah, probably guys probably do the same thing or maybe not the odd clubs. They might go even you know Brody brody probably even you know before it's even you know five is odd so yeah, so you

You only warm up with your high clubs, and you wear them out way faster than your even clubs. Yeah Yeah, like I barely ever hit my six iron unless it's on the golf course And so when you step up to hit a six iron on the course That's not you never think about that like because me personally I know if I just warm up and I hit a seven iron well when I'm practicing I get up there and it's an eight iron shot I'm like god damn it my eight iron wasn't good but my seven was earlier you just don't have that problem you're just like oh I guess I'm hitting the six. Yeah now when I think back to Chicago when we played I probably should I probably should change that all up going in this week. Oh, I don't want you to change any, I don't want, I want you to just go in, not think about anything. So this is your eighth ninth, ninth masters,

ninth masters. Uh, you finished second twice. You finished a top 30 every single time that you didn't get caught. So you've been, you've been, you've been right there. Is there anything you're changing about the masters like going this week? Or is there anything that you're like, I'm going to do this differently? Uh, to, to get me over the hump? No, no, not going to do anything. Still going to stick with the odd clubs and the warmup. Um, yeah, nothing. I got nothing for you fellas. Okay. Do you have that? That's, that's actually good. I just don't wanna think about anything, so I'm just gonna do whatever I do.

Yeah, right, that's smart. Do you have a strategy for what number you want your caddy to get? I did last year, it was the last year I waited, I actually waited for one person so I could get 69. Yeah, so when I get there on Monday morning, is'll uh, is there any what number you guys want? You know, I can't get the loan ones. I'm sure guys are there Saturday and stuff. But yeah, whenever we go 169 would be funny. What about 99 99 looks badass

I don't know if there's only would they get what the guys that play so I think I don't know how many guys I'm assuming It usually goes up like 90 What's Jake what? Okay, we'll do it tell you what Brooks will do a hundred lotto balls and we'll take the one that comes up the most okay Yeah, we'll do we'll just draw till you get above 45 and that'll be Perfect. Okay, it's spinning 44 was the first one so we go again that's 44 52 you want to go 52 now we to my it might be close so I'll be getting I can get there Monday morning early we'll do another one because that that one was not selected. I want this to be

44 again, I think you gotta get 40 being dropped it because Okay No, no big cat. I got there. He forgot to clear it. So we're gonna do another one. Okay, it's cleared now We're just putting you right back into Blake of the year, the worst Blake of the year ever. We're just gonna be right there. Yeah. 72 72. That's the number 72. 72.

That's where I shoot. I won't register to get the 72 number. But not what you're shooting for in in the tournament. No, no. Okay. All right. I'm trying to register. Alright. I got it. Yeah, that I just want to make

sure that's right. That's right in his chest. Yes. Okay, I love that. He'd be riding for us. Yes. Seven. If you win with seventy-two, I mean, we we have to put you in the part of my take hall of fame. Yeah. Which I don't think there's anybody in that, right? Well, we'll need the, we'll need to, we'll pay, have to pay Rick and we'll just. Yeah, we'll pay him for the number and we'll just put it up here and be like, this is the one that Brooks won the Masters in. Yeah. That's beautiful. Brooks. I saw yesterday that Anthony Kim just found out that you were a major

champion because he was off the grid for so long, not paying attention to golf. Did he come up to you and he was he like, Holy shit, dude, congratulations. That's awesome. It is a man. And he's I didn't get to know him because he kind of left right as I was kind of coming up. But he's a he's a good dude. He's funny. The nicest guy ever. Yeah, he's he I mean, it's a crazy story that he's back. It's awesome. We're all rooting for him. I have two semi personal questions for you, Brooks. One, how did you end up on the Black Jack table Super Bowl week? I mean, I was out there Super Bowl week,

so I mean, I felt like it was pretty obvious I was gonna be somewhere at a table. Yeah, I mean, we were playing together, but did you end up okay? I... Okay, that's a no. That's fair. I've had better trips. I know that answer. That's all you had to say.

Two, did you watch feet the streets arch madness with Jerry and did Jenna maybe watch and be like, I could probably have won this. I did not. I feel like I should have. So I'm probably going to have to reach out to Jerry now and apologize for that. Yeah. Actually, Jenna should be apologizing. It's not me. She was telling me she was going to send Pete. So that's yeah, we'll talk to Jenna about that. Yes. I mean, I competed in it. I did my nails up. Jerry thought I was a woman for about 20 minutes and I saw the competition. I think Jenna could have taken taking it home. I think she could have won. Yeah, we're gonna have to next year. Next

year's year. Yeah, because I feel like next year is the year. If you win the green jacket and it's like, what else could this family have? Oh, Arch Madness. Like those are kind of hand in hand of like illustrious awards someone can win. The fifth major mini say. Yeah, those you guys would be like the number one family in golf and feet. If he if he makes a trophy for it and if she wins it there's a big trophy case in my house like all majors will put it right in the case. It's a giant

foot. Yeah. Yes. Also just a giant foot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And just so we're clear just because I want to I want to back up Jerry here. He just wants to make everyone know that like it's not sexual. He's just judging feet. It's not sexual. Yeah. No, I mean, it's black and white. It's pretty, pretty. Yeah. It's just, it's just feet. He's like an artist that makes statues. He just appreciates the human form. All right. So what, what else like, are you doing anything different Augusta week? Like your, your chef's going to be there? What are we doing? Meals? We gotta just, I wanna get so focused. I already bet on you. 20 to 1 is an absolute slap in the face to a guy of your stature. I like those odds. Is that what the odds are at right now? Or when did you place this bet?

Yeah I did it two days ago. 20 to 1. I mean it's just like, it's crazy. They have no respect for you. Oh, none. None. I love it though. I love it because then it just makes everybody out the odds go high. It's perfect. Nobody's betting on me. Everybody else can make some money off me is perfect. Yeah, it's a great situation. So do you actually like get fuel off being an underdog when people are doubting you?

No, I just think listen, whoever's gonna be placed in a bet, they're gonna win a hell of a lot more money. So good for them. I'm sure my boys are gonna be that's too. So my I'm like, all right, great. Yeah. No, it'd be, it'd be very lucrative for this podcast if you want. So I would appreciate it if you did that. Yeah. We might be able to buy the ACE again. Yeah. Hank is not allowed to design merchandise. He's not allowed to even think about shirts. No jinks. Hank should not be allowed to watch the masters. I won't say a word. I'll be, I'll be rude for you. Yeah. Yeah. Don't think about anything. That's easy for me. Rule number one is not read the thing. Yeah. I'll be wrong. Don't think about it. Yeah. Yeah, don't think about anything. That's easy for me

Well number one is not read the thing. Yeah and rule number four and also a little bit of rule eight Brooks I don't know if you saw this clip but our good friends over at spit and chicklets they they interviewed JT and they were talking about the Masters and Paul Bissonnette came up with a theory that talking about the Masters and Paul Bissonnette came up with a theory that Augusta has kidnapped all the squirrels there or killed all the squirrels in Augusta. Have you seen a squirrel in Augusta? I don't know. I know they got like speakers in the trees. So that's where you never see birds, but you see or you can hear the bird chirps. But like sometimes when you get to

like 12 and 13, you can look up and you can see the speakers. Yeah. So I've been like, hidden from the fans, but we can see them. I've been thinking about that. I've been saying they pipe in crowd noise like it's Seattle's field, except it's at Amon Corner. They've got speakers up there. I'm going to be on the lookout for that.

But if you do see a squirrel, please let us know. Because our sharpest mind here at Barstool, Paul Bissonnette, is hard at work cracking that mystery. If I see a squirrel, I will be very quick to point it out and let Biss know. OK. Yeah. Appreciate that.

My last question, rollback question, r-h-o-b-a-c-k.com promo code, take 20% off your first purchase. Q-zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, everything, rollback.com and wearing the joggers right now. How are the vibes? That was a good ad read, right? That's great. Yeah. Just black out and don't think about anything. How are the vibes? It feels like this Masters will be a little bit less contentious in terms of the live in the PGA guys. You guys are

all good now, right? You're not going to have to deal with people side-eyeing you and everything. No, I don't think anybody would be side-eyeing. I just think, you know, hopefully the PGA guys don't get in a beer chugging contest with the Libca guys. I think we would definitely. You guys would crush that. You guys would kill that. That was pitiful. How many boys saw that? Yeah. Yeah. No. But yeah, I think we would definitely have. No, it's all good right now. Everybody's,

I mean, it's fine. Like I said, I think everybody we're in a year and a half of this. So everybody just nobody knows what the hell is going on. So might as well just enjoy the ride. Yeah, I think in a way it could end up being good for golf where it's kind of like, you know, WCW WWE, you got two rival factions, they'll be reunited at some point. Have you heard anything about like what that would look look like when the merger goes through? I have no idea. I don't know if it's going to go through. If it is going to go through, it's just... I mean, I know that they're meeting, they're

having talks, but I'm so far removed from that. I think the PGA, I don't know, it seems like the PGA guys get a little more info than we do, but at the same time, I haven't really heard much of it like progressing or going to anything even from the PGA guys that I talked to. It's a don't think about anything. Don't think about it. Don't don't think about anything. If you do think about one thing, if you just like put something in their ear of the PGA tour, just be like, Hey, let us wear shorts. Yeah. See? I mean, it's awesome. Wearing shorts. I'm not gonna lie. I love it out here

Yeah, I'm sure it's our back. All right. Well Brooks best of luck. We're rooting for you Just go let's just go win a green jacket this week. I know I think yeah, it's the goal 72 right there fellas Not where you're gonna shoot not what you're gonna shoot not where you're gonna shoot 72 yes, all right Brooks. All right, Brooks. All right, Brooks. Go not think about anything and let's win a Masters. Easy. Easy done, fellas.

Okay, we're going to finish the show with some guys on golf, and we have our good friends, Riggs and Trent, in studio. Yeah. They were at Augusta 24 hours ago. They're here for the Barstool Mini Golf Open, which is teeing off at 8.30 in the morning

Central Time. As you're listening to this, it has already started. Boys, let's start here. How was your, what were you, 24 hours in Augusta? Yeah, haven't washed our hands or anything because we were just rubbing it against the dirt and the grass in Augusta. Like grass stains on your shirts rolling down hills. I'm doing sleeping with the shoes on. I'm doing the master's thing where I'm wearing the gear that I bought so everyone knows that

I went and I'm bragging about it because I went. I have a question about that and I don't, I one day really want to go to Augusta. It looks incredible. Like all of it just is, it's my favorite, one of my favorite weekends to sit on the couch and watch the tournament. What has happened in Augusta that has brainwashed people to the point where I saw Marty Smith had, he posted a picture of the Eclipse glasses that looked like they were maybe 70 cents and they had the Augusta logo on it and he said, these are the coolest Eclipse glasses ever.

Not kidding, yes. He's right. When we went in and they handed those to us, we all looked at each other and said, this is the most important thing I've ever seen. So I just had to be there. I have to, that's, all right, that's a fair answer. Well also,

Because all the other stuff I'm down with, like the merch, the menu, I love all of that stuff. But when we get to like eclipse glasses, I was like, all right. Have you seen any other eclipse glasses though? Those are the coolest eclipse glasses. I don't know. The ones Frank's, Frank was wearing was pretty sick.

I didn't see those. But for the ones that I've seen, I would agree with Marty Smith. Yeah. Dude, it was also the idea that you were potentially going to be inside of Augusta National during an eclipse. That feels like fake life shit. So I think that was a big part of the appeal. Yeah, that was a huge part of it. I think that, what is it, every 20 something years? There was one seven years ago. These are the Masters every year rigs.

Yeah. I think the next- Thank God, I hope that except World War II, they didn't do it for three years. Yeah. So I actually, I had a friend that went there, I think four years ago, JP Finley from DC does does like DC Sports Radio there, and he hit me up. He's like, do you want any merch while I'm down here? I can ship some to you. I didn't realize what a big deal it was to get something shipped out of Augusta, and I asked him for a pimento cheese sandwich.

So he got a pimento cheese, put it in the mail, a little pro tip for everybody, don't try to do that. It does not arrive fresh. No way. If you want to eat the mayonnaise and the cheese the day that they slice it. What you guys are saying is it is just as special as it is, so if you get the Eclipse glasses, they are the best Eclipse glasses.

Yeah, guys like us are like, somebody sees that. You were at Augusta National during that eclipse. People go to Austin, Texas, wherever to watch it, we were at Augusta National. The efficiency in there is insane with all of the concessions and all that. You realize, like we were having a funny conversation being like, it's crazy that everywhere doesn't just copy this. You're like, oh, well everywhere doesn't have unlimited money. Yeah. Mm-hmm. And billionaires that run the whole thing. Yeah. You will be stunned when you go though, for

the first time, the concessions are unlike any other sports concession where it's a walkthrough. It's not a walk up and stop and then turn around and go back. You just keep moving the whole time and you're grabbing an Aldi. What's an Aldi? It's like a really cheap grocery store. Oh, I have a maze so you can't go back. You just keep going forward. That's exactly what it is. Okay. People are grabbing all these people. Augusta will probably kill me for saying I think Ike is the same way too, right? Yeah, right. Yeah. Keep going. I think that's right. But it's that special. It's very, yeah, they just figured it out because so many people go there with the concessions and the merch that you can't have a line take three hours. You cannot have that. So when

I was in the merch line yesterday, I looked at it and I said, that's gonna take three hours. They have people standing on the sign. This is gonna take 18 minutes. Whoa. It's not gonna feel like that when you're looking at it, but it's gonna take 18 minutes. take 18 minutes. Whoa. It's not going to feel like that when you're looking at it, but it's going to take 18 minutes. Takes 18 minutes. Takes 18 minutes. So are you guys at the point now? Because 4Play, you guys have had so much success.

You guys are crushing it. By the way, we have a Stella Blue 4Play collab coming out very soon. Very excited for that. Hold Brew flavors are going to be really good. People know the flavor yet? We're holding it. I think we're holding it.

OK, we're holding it. Yeah, we're holding it. We're holding it. OK. That's awesome. We're going to do a golf video. I've actually're holding it. Yeah, we're holding it. We're holding it. It looks awesome. We're going to do a golf video. I've actually been thinking about maybe doing a... Transfusion coffee.

Well, I was going to drink a pint of cold brew for every hole, and then Hank looked at me like I was insane. He's probably right. I trust Hank. I think your heart would explode. Yeah, I trust Hank in these situations, but we'll figure it out. But are you guys at the point now where are you getting any extra, is Augusta like being like oh they're the foreplay guys or that just will never happen? No. Okay. In fact Augusta. Nope. Not even a little bit. Nope. No. We

don't. Like Dan obviously is more of our golf rider, our big J. I know he's been on PMT and he's had his credential and we were a little worried like he went from golf digest and legacy media to barstool sports Okay, you still have a credential at the Masters got it, but now they almost treat us Like we have to walk more on eggshells. They're like one of your guys has a credential Oh, they got they have leverage. Yeah, they got a little leverage on us. Yeah, I know it's like we got to be careful How close are we to playing at Augusta not even close?'ll never let you get around are there dude perfect did it? Yeah, I know all right, so we had this conversation on our show, too We were like all right there may be opening the door to

Alternative types of media and then we went on their YouTube channel dude perfect. They have 40 million YouTube subscribers. We have like 440 hours. I was not even like a same bracket at all I was upset when they opened the door to the DP guys because they defiled Augusta. They brought tennis rackets out there and they were playing weird sports on the hallow grounds of Augusta National. I didn't like it. I thought that was bad for Masters. Yeah, we kind of started, all of us, our whole brand being like making fun of old man, yell

at cloud, but we're such Augusta golf guys that we were like, you can't allow that at Augusta National. I don't even know if we would want them to allow us to film our time. That's what I was gonna say. I, like, I would prefer that they don't give us anything. Like, that's sort of their appeal. Like, the more, there's been stories of members, like, if you really wanna be a member at Augusta National,

they won't give it to you. If you're too thirsty for an Augusta National membership, they're like, I'm not giving it to that person. So I think them keeping the door closed, the Dude Perfect thing did make me a little bit mad because of that. But I mean, I would prefer that they're just like never say you can't come in. You're saying we're playing it cool. We're like, yeah, we're not even really that worried about ever playing that. Yeah, because it feels that's the secret society man. It's like you can't play on that golf course. We act like we don't even want

to play there. Maybe we'll get to play there. I think it does turn you into dad immediately when you go there. You could be like a young, like a, a rap scallion. You can be like a rebel and you set foot on there and you're like, I'm going to behave myself perfectly today. I'm going to make sure that I'm wearing a freshly pressed shirt. I'm going to start narking on the other people next to me that might be yelling inappropriate things. Like it, it, it matures you just being at Augusta.

The no phone thing changes everybody. I'm actually excited for the first time I go, dude, the first 30 minutes you're going through withdrawals, you're tapping your pocket, you're trying to check your phone, and then you're free. Yeah. You're free. Yeah. It was so freeing that yesterday I made a crazy claim that I'm considering going phone-less as a person.

Yeah, that's the dumbest thing you ever said. It is. It is. That's what it does to you. Yeah. Big cat. That's like me saying I'm going to do a diet. Right.

That's what I was telling you. No different. I was like, you know your whole life. It's like Hank saying he's going to dunk. That's right. That one. And it's like, that's our whole, get rid of your phone, that's our whole lives. But it's nice even just asking people for the time. People with watches in Augusta National are a big deal. So are there any other pro tips? Because that sounds like one that people wouldn't think about before they go there.

Like wear a watch so you know what time it is. Any other pro tips for like your first time going to Augusta? I would say one of the biggest ones is you truly have to commit, if you know someone else that's going, of meeting somewhere at a certain time. Because you just, oh, we're all going, next week's gonna be great, you get out there, I have absolutely no way to communicate with this human.

So it's jarring, you cannot communicate, and if you lose somebody, it's over. It's like you're in a Seinfeld episode. Dude, you go back in time. If you go into the restroom together with someone and they go to this, and then afterwards, you didn't agree on where... You legit might not find them for the rest of the day.

Yeah, that's kind of cool. Yeah, it's very cool. It's like, yeah, like old... I mean, PFC and I date ourselves a lot. You guys are a little older as well, but the idea of going to a bowling alley as a kid and my mom giving me a dime or quarter and being like like just call you want to get picked up and the payphone So we are really dated my they have not paid they just have phones old school you could and we were like oh yeah

We should call somebody and we don't know any phone number. Yeah, right I 9-1-1 that's They should do just like like text phones where you can text somebody at a payphone that you know they're going to be next to. Beepers. Beepers, yeah. I just invented beepers. Just invented beepers.

All right, last question before we get to Hank's questions. Everyone give a pick. Give us a pick. Are you guys worried about Scottie and the baby? Honestly, Scottie, I'm worried about Scotty ruining the tournament because he's so much better than everyone else. But are you worried about the baby? Because he said that he would leave the grounds if his wife goes into labor.

Now, it's their first child and I think the due date's not until the end of the month, so it should be okay, but would that not be the craziest thing ever if he's killing everyone? Oh, I was going to ask you guys, what would you, with your kid, if it's your first kid- If I was winning the Masters, I would not leave. You wouldn't leave. If I was winning the masters. Yeah, I would not leave. I agree with you. First kid. I would. If I was winning the masters, if I was winning the masters, I would not leave in contention. I would say if I should, maybe I would leave cause then I could always be like, I would have won. The kid will be there tomorrow. But if I was up, I'm in the last group of the masters. I'm not

leaving. I'll, I'll name my kid Augusta. How about that? You're always going to remember that kid. The kid will understand too once he grows up. The kid, they'll be like, good call, Dad. I like the storyline just because it's something to follow. It's like, is it going to... because if it happens, the footage of Scottie Shuffler running off the golf course would be incredible. Yeah, and then it's Scottie and then who's the other one? Sam Burns. Sam Burns. He won, he actually, I think his wife is like a week away.

Yeah, she's a lot closer. Yeah, that is a lot more nerve wracking because I think Scottie would be fine. I also think there's a funny dynamic of the two of them are best friends, but Scottie's number one player in the world has won the Masters before. If you're Sam Burns and you've never won the Masters,

never won a major championship, and then he's sort of in this spot where he's like, Scott, Scottie said he was gonna go, and you're like, well, I haven't won the Masters. Scottie kinda screwed him on that. Yeah, he's like. Cause his baby's also not due for a lot longer, and he's the first,

which usually the due date's about right with the first. I think that's the math though, if you have more green jackets, or equal amount of green jackets as you have children, then you stay to try to get another. So if you've won it twice and you're about to have your third kid, then you stay and you try to win on Sunday.

If it's the other way around, then you have to go. If it's your first kid, you've got two green jackets, you gotta go. I would leave if I was in... If I was like 15th, I would be like, all right, I'm leaving, and then I can just tell everyone I would have won. How are they gonna let them know?

How are they gonna call them? Someone, they have a bad phone. They've got telepathy out there. Yeah, they have a bad phone. Beepers, remember, we invented beepers. Yeah, it's true. Yeah, called us number. All right, so wait, who'd you pick to win?

My long shot pick is Jason Day. Okay. Plus, I think he's 6,000, 60 to 1. Remember that time he collapsed? Yep, yeah. That was pretty funny. Vertigo, he's a big Vertigo guy. You can laugh about Vertigo.

Yeah, I think that was Chambers Bay. Yeah. And then he contended at the Masters a handful of years ago and he had like a broken back the whole time. I like Jason Day. Okay, Trent. I'm taking Brooks. Okay. 20 to 1. We already took it. Big game hunter. He really wants this one too. And he's very cocky right now. By the way, we should update everyone. Yeah, he is very cocky. So everyone just listened to Brooks, and we had him on, and he was like, I'll pick the, we did the lottery ball, and he was like, whatever number comes up, I'll just pick that for my caddy.

72 came up, and in classic Brooks fashion, he texted me and he said that he zoned out and Cam Smith jumped in front of him, so he got number 73. Which is perfect, Brooks. It's perfect, Brooks. It's perfect. I literally just looked, I was just like staring out the window and then he jumped right in front of me

and so I got 73. He's locked in. I've seen this Brooks before where he's just in fuck it mode and he's not thinking about anything. That's rule number one. Four and eight. I don't know if you guys saw it. Golf Digest, ten rules and three out of ten of them were don't think. Smart. There's just different versions of don't think

Yeah, he's like talking shit. He's taking little shots of people He was having some Lucy out there on the range today and he is very kind of healthy that him being healthy He can win any tournament in the world and he loves the majors obviously So I feel very good about his presser today to he if someone asked a question that he thought was a dumb question He basically just said that's yeah Well that guy asking is this a 50 can you shoot 59 here? That guy was asking everybody that it's so crazy laughs that if you played the course. Yeah, it's like Okay, dude, shut up. All right guys on golf. We got some questions from the listeners. Yes, we do Hank

Hey fellas huge fan of the podcast I'm 24 and now that I'm working nine to five and me and all my boys are washed up, we've taken up golf. I'm in a top tier vibes wise guy on the course but bottom tier in actual skill and play of my golfing friends. Which do you recommend for getting better at golf, hitting a simulator for a couple hours and playing a virtual course or going to the range and hitting a bucket of balls? I don't think I've gotten better at golf since we started all this.

I love your series against the haters though. That's fucking awesome. Great idea. Thank you. Great idea. I appreciate that. The problem is nobody actually wants to play. Of course, because they're cowards. It's infuriating. Yeah.

As you go through, we were like, oh yeah, any of the videos I post, we'll just go through, look at all the comments, they're all insanely negative, and just message those people. Be like, hey, we'd love to have a match, and none of them will actually do it. We got to get you hooked up with our buddy Andrew Santino, because he had a similar idea to hold an actual tournament with the haters. So if you did that with him, it'd be hilarious. He was like, we'll just invite all of them out, because then in numbers, I feel like

the haters feel a little more of a safety blanket. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. And that would be great. So wait, Trent, what's your, you've gotten a lot better at golf. Yeah. I think you got to go to, go to the range simulator golf. Although you guys have a simulator here and I can't stop hitting balls over there. Like this place is incredible. Um, I think you got to go to the range. That's, that's just where you get better. Not no mats, no simulator. Just go to the range. That's just where you get better. No mats, no simulator. Just go to the range and hit a bunch of balls. I also, as cliche as it may sound,

taking even one lesson, I think, makes a massive difference. You realize that you don't know what the fuck you're doing. Yeah, I'm of the mindset that I will never let another man teach me how to swing. That's me. I've taken a couple lessons, and I feel like every time I take a lesson, I learn one thing that I can take. It's like 10 lessons and I feel like every time I take a lesson I learn one thing that I can take.

It's like 10 lessons I get one thing that I can take. So I need to take probably about 600 more lessons and I might be okay. You're going to be right there. You're going to be dialed in. What about just watching a YouTube video before you go to sleep? I like to do that and then I think about the YouTube video in my sleep. Subconscious. Yeah, subconscious works.

So next thing you know I get into a bunker shot in the morning. Have you ever watched that YouTube video where the guy tries to fix the slice and he just never gets to the point? Yeah, because there's so many of those guys. I love those guys that are selling their informational DVD or whatever, and you have to watch the YouTube video. And then he's just like, it's so easy, it's so simple, and he never tells you what it is.

This is the one key tip to fix that slice. You're like, what is it? And there's a line of the most unathletic looking slice. You're like, what is it? And there's like a line of these, the most unathletic looking weirdos that are like, he fixed my swing, now I'm hitting 275 right down the middle. And he's like, all you gotta do is come to my seminar. Yeah.

I watched like 50 minutes of it when we were at Pinehurst and he just never got to it. The main reason I say that about Alessi too is because the amount of times that any of us, if you like, have gone to a range and air quotes practiced and had no idea what you're actually doing is Every time and then you walk off and you're like, I actually have I don't think I learned anything Right. Well, let me ask you guys because Brooke says that he doesn't think about anything at all when he hits

Every time I learn something new I have like another thing that I think about as I'm swinging and then I forget about the previous Thing I was thinking about that fixed my old problem. Now I've got my old problem but I fixed my new one. Do you guys think about anything at all like consciously keep your arm tucked? The more I think about stuff the worse I am. Right Brooks is in a position when he's not thinking about anything that's why he's one of the best in the world because he doesn't have to think about anything. Doesn't have to think about keep your elbow tucked, go this far back. If you can have no thoughts, he's actually right because then you're just,

it's all athleticism and what you know. Yeah, and Brooks had in the full swing series in season one, like one of my favorite sort of clips because he obviously comes on here and he's great. We laugh about him not really giving a shit about golf so the time, but you could see how frustrated he was there. Yeah.

And he had all the quotes about how like, yeah, when you're sucking or struggling or whatever, you've got a trillion thoughts. He's like, I bet Scottie Shaffer doesn't have any thoughts. And they cut to Scottie Shaffer and Meredith like walking down the street. Yeah, down the street, yeah, having coffee. And that is, that sums up golf perfectly.

So yeah, if you can, I had something that I've honestly been doing better lately when I've been hitting better, is on the range you work on all this stuff where you're thinking about this, you have seven swing thoughts. When you go to the course, you just honestly just swing. As crazy as that sounds. My best rounds have when I think about tempo, that's it.

I honestly think about Freddie Couples in my head. If you wanna watch golf, YouTube videos, just watch Freddie Couples swing, and you don't have to mimic his swing, but his tempo is what you want. Yeah, so sweet. It's so sweet. You don't have to swing hard,

you don't have to swing fast. It's very easy. Technology and the clubs are so good now that they're going to do a lot of the work for you. If you just sort of keep things in control and hit the ball, it's going to go. And if you just do it slow, you'll be it's funny. Feel versus real. People talk about all the time. You'll feel like you're going as slow as molasses and then you'll see your swing on video and you'll still be going fast. Yeah. So just slow everything down. That's what I do.

And I got to say shout out to the vibes guy, because you can suck out there as long as you're just a good vibes guy. One guy I saw one like an amateur tournament got up and he said, the best thing I ever learned was if you can't play great, just be great to play with. And that's such a good point. So if the vibes guys always bring in the vibes, then he's doing a great job. That is a good point. All if the vibes guys always bring in the vibes, then he's doing a great job. That is a good part. Best vibe bringer personalities, like personality traits, I should say. Like selecting good music,

not being slow, obviously. Saying you're going to love that. I know you're great at that. No matter what. You're the king of that. Yeah, sometimes they're sarcastic. Pick up the round with the car girl. Yep, that's a good one. Yeah, anybody who capitalizes on opportunities to acquire alcohol.

Yeah. I feel like that's- Compliments. I like to compliment. But not- A great shot. But not in a belittling way. Not in a sarcastic way, but actually do like, that's a great shot.

Uh-huh. Yeah. Not playing slow is a big one. Just kind of know when you're out of the hole. Yeah. If you're on swing- Oh, I'm good at that. If you're on swing eight and you're still like 170 yards out, just pick that sucker up and let's go.

There's nothing, there's nothing better than when you see a guy who's clearly out of the hole and you're looking back being like, are we going to have to, and he's just walking towards the hole with a ball in his pocket. Like, no, I'm out on this one. I'm good at that because I will be out of like multiple holes in a row. Like if I have a really bad one, I'll be like, that's it for the next three. Me and Big Cat conceded a hole off our tee shot when we were doing the off plate against you guys. I was in that. People were like, you guys are such pussies for doing that. It's like, why? Why? We suck. It's funny to concede. I thought that was admirable.

If a guy's in pocket and then he goes up and pulls the pin out and is like, what do you guys see here? And is still involved, you're killing it. Yeah. Actually, can I ask you guys a question? Hypothetically, if you're playing golf, you're on a course maybe with your producer of your podcast, right? Maybe the guy that's been producing you since the start. He's been around for a while.

Mike Click on it. And I don't know who could have turned the mic on there. But you have to pee, right? Everyone's got to pee on the golf course. No big deal. Yeah. Would you recommend pulling your penis out and peeing directly onto the middle of the cart path

As it's about to trickle down on everybody's shoes that are right behind Yeah, I would say generally pick the surface that absorbs water the worst. Yeah and pee right onto it preferably uphill and into the wind Yeah, yeah The only surface that doesn't absorb pee on the golf course would you pee right onto that when I heard that from? absorb pee on the golf course. Would you pee right onto that? When I heard that from the hypothetical, when I heard that there could be a hypothetical like this, I've played golf thousands of times.

I've never seen that move in my life. Yeah. Not once. Change the game. Hypothetically. Hypothetically. Hypothetically. All right, Hank, what's the next one?

Ask the foreplay boys, once Tiger Nevilley retires, who is their number one guy after that? Good question. And it can't be Charlie Woods because we have dibs. You guys do have dibs on that. Yeah, careful saying, I know. He's a teenager, he's got dibs on that little boy. I have dibs on Charlie.

Charlie's gonna be, he's gonna be on that couch before you know it. Oh boy. Man, I would say, I'm trying to think of someone that isn't like a friend, because that's always a little, you know what I'm saying? You can't criticize the same way. Well yeah, and like Tiger,

we don't want Tiger to be our friend really, like he's our guy, he's an icon, he's above being our friend. We're like kids or somebody that we're close with, it's like oh yeah, I root for that guy, but he's kind of your buddy, whatever. I would say he is kind of our friend, but Joel Damon.

Yeah, that was the first name that popped in my head. I just root for that guy. I think that's a good one So regular I feel like in the second season of full swing He kind of got dogged a little bit and they just made him look like he just drinks 24 7 365 Which yeah is not accurate. He cares on that. So I don't know. I just like Joel Damon That was the first name popped into my head I I don't even really like to look into the future like that with tiger because it it makes me sad But I think it would probably be Joel, but we still got we still got probably ten years left with tiger We're fine. What yeah, no, no, we're fine. Okay. We don't what did you guys talk at all about the abstinence thing? Yeah

Yeah, I think it's gonna backfire. We want tiger to fuck. That's what we said. Yeah. Why would that be the formula? He's probably gonna try to fuck max. Well, maybe max might try to fuck him Why that made no sense to us and I don't know where the rumor came from but like in the prime of Tiger's career He was fucking yeah, right so did not fuck right? I think that's the answer is idiotic But he then again like he's got leg problems. So maybe he's trying to save up all his energy That's fair. Maybe just a blowjob. Yeah, it's blowjob. It's the blowjob era blowjob era Rock of Tiger was like, I'm not having intercourse anal only it for the two weeks leading up This is no sex policy. Just a lot stuff. I think everyone's on the same page

I hadn't seen all business Pete like two years the first thing he said to me He's like I feel like tiger needs to be fucking yeah, I was like, yeah, I think everyone's on the same page. I hadn't seen all business Pete in like two years. The first thing he said to me, he's like, I feel like Tiger needs to be fucking. Yeah. I was like, I think everybody feels that way. So yeah, it's concerning. Very concerning. Yeah. He might've also just been a classic Tiger like bait and switch where he said it. And then like the hottest girls hit him up and like, I'll fix you. He's single. Yeah, right. We're doing that on purpose. Not that it would have mattered, but we're dealing with a single Tiger Woods. All right. Let's do two more. Hank, my friends and I are not great at golf, but enjoy playing nine holes every now and then. We almost always walk when playing nine, but walking coupled with a few bad shots leads to groups behind us

talking shit saying we aren't playing fast enough. Sometimes I understand this, but when we are playing at a public course and the angry group behind us is riding in a cart, do they really have a leg to stand on? How are we possibly supposed to play at the pace of the group behind us who's in a cart when we are walking?" Isn't this just like depending on the course? Yeah. Like there's walking courses and there's- There's also, I mean it sounds, but if it's ever cart path only, I think you just walk

every time. Right. Cart path only shocks. You drive up, you gotta run all the way across you inevitably piss everywhere the car paths on the right you always hit it left You're bringing like three clubs out there, and you never grab the one that you wanted Yeah, so I think walking is actually faster if it's car path only but in the other situation I mean I just I told him to go fuck that I don't know yeah I don't know what you do tell them to walk because walking is underrated I get that I agree if you're out there with buddies And you want to drink and you're having like a big group like I

Get getting in a cart But if you find a course and you find like a slot of time where you can walk, it's amazing It does feel great. It's sound I sound kind of like the old like romanticism of golf. I've evolved on that Oh, yeah, I used to be car guy only, but then recently within the last couple years I would walk nine holes. Never 18, I'm going to die out there if I walk 18. But if I walk nine holes, it's fucking beautiful. Because in a cart you almost aren't looking at the scenery around you.

Like you're outside, you forget that when sometimes you're in a cart. It's like shot, grab a beer, drive to the next shot, hit it, get in the cart, go. When you're just walking, you're taking it all in. It's also actually more social with the whole group. Yeah, for sure. Sounds counterintuitive, because obviously you're chit-chatting with your one guy, but the other two, you always see them on the tee,

they go to their ball, you go to yours, whatever. When you're all four kind of walking together, it is, it's nice, it's peaceful, it's more social. And this is with caddies. Yeah, we're not walking, we're not carrying our own bags. I have been recently, but you get the cart. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. The push cart, push cart. Yeah, push you yeah, we're not here in our own backs. Yeah, I have been recently but you get the cart Oh, yeah. Yeah, of course push cart. Yeah push cart. Yeah push carts nice I like the cart that just follows you around everywhere. Yeah, the little r2d2. Yeah, those things are sweet

That's a classic like country club Older guy move and he just plays every Saturday and Sunday morning and just hits a little button and his thing goes down Yeah, right. All right, Hank last question. Oh He's having trouble reading And this thing goes down. Yeah, right all right Hank last question Last year live golfers killed it finishing at the top of the master spots and really showed out my question is this year Do you think J players or live golfers will do better at the Masters this year? Yeah, I mean I would say we were that was shocking last year to a lot of people because yeah You know there was kind of a belief that the live guys weren't playing as much as not as competitive, the fields aren't as deep, blah, blah, blah. And then obviously,

Brooks almost won the Masters won the PGA Phil finished second in the Masters, there are a bunch of other names up there. So I think it'll be close. I really do. I think john rom is maybe the second favorite. I think he is third favorite. Maybe it's also live has gotten so many good golfers now gotten a ton, even guys that are that don't get talked about a ton like Sergio Garcia was leading a lot last week on live he's a he could contend at the Masters easily you got to your

Latin who nobody really talks about who's a great guy to watch play helicopters clubs all over the place. He's somebody that could contend so I think it'll be honestly be pretty damn close now. Yeah, you also just find that these are the best golfers in the world, right? and they get up for these big tournaments. So regardless of how they're playing or what tour they're playing on, they're probably,

we found out last year that they're probably going to play pretty well. Yeah. Do we know what it's going to look like when they merge the two? Any idea? They have been incredibly tight-lipped because I don't think they know. I think John Rahms also gave a... His answers made it seem like they're very far apart because it feels like he went to Liv being like, don't worry, we'll just be the PGA in a year.

Yeah, he was kind of the guy that when he went, it felt like he went as the tipping point of Tor was going to be like, oh shit, we really gotta get something done or Liv's just gonna keep taking all of our players. Rahms was gonna be the last guy that cashed in, he got three, four, 600 million, whatever it was, and then he seemed frustrated.

He does. Yeah, it's not working, which sucks. So, it's a little split, like we talk about it a ton, obviously on our show, as you can imagine, and we get a little bit annoyed that the best players aren't playing together all the time, but other people make the point that they don't really play together or didn't all the time anyways. Like it wasn't like they all played the same tournaments.

They really didn't. It wasn't that common that you got Rory and Rom and Tiger and Phil back when they were all together like playing and contending in the same tournament. That never fucking happened. Right. So it's definitely frustrating for us because like Brooks and Rom and those guys that we love watching play. All of the interesting guys went. Yeah. Patrick Reed, as much as you can say. Yeah. Polarizing guys went. And when you lose that from the main tour,

or whatever you want to call the main tour, it lessens the product. And it's more boring. At first, we talk about this on the show too. At first, when this all started to happen, we were like, this is great for guys like us, because it's all storylines. Who's going to jump?

How much money they take? And this is incredible. Now like us, because it's all storylines. Who's going to jump? How much money are they taking? This is incredible. Now we're in like a holding pattern where everybody who, all the big names who are going to jump have jumped. And all we've done is split the talent pool. So when you watch, if you watch the PGA Tour, or if you watch Liv, whichever one,

you're watching a watered down product. And for a sport like golf that is not cool enough to water down its product, we are now fucking the sport over completely. Yeah. It's also guys like Patrick Reed and Bryson are like Bryson was the biggest headline guy forever. Whether you hated him or loved him and and those guys are headline guys and drive it when they're unhappy about stuff. Right now they're at live and they're like this is great. They're awesome. They true. So they're never

in the headline anymore. When they were at the tour they bitch they hated the other players. Their wives hated the other players. It was amazing. Now they never bitch about it. Yeah, it's just, that's true. It's a mess. I know. To go back to the original question, like I don't think they're close. Yeah. I don't know when it's going to come together. Yeah, sucks. I like the strategy though. Let's give Patrick Reed so much money. He won't steal from his teammates ever again. Probably still is thinking. Yeah. Oh, that'd be great if Patrick Reed did a tiger headline. He was like, I'm not stealing for two weeks. Yeah. No, it rock. It would rock if they offered Rory like $500 million to join live for like a year. And then he

just bounced with the PGA tour. He went back on everything. 500 million. I think if he went that would like there'd be riots in the streets, probably not because it's golf, but like if he went, he there's so many clips of him being like, I hate Liv, I'll never go. But at this point, that's kind of what Ram did and what you were saying, Dan, where he was thinking he's gonna take the money and we're all gonna be playing the same events a year anyway.

And I think it's probably gonna end up that way eventually, but it might be two years. Yeah, it might be a while. The one thing I don't like is when the players or anyone really, in any situation where they take a ton of money, say like like I had to do it for my Family because what I understand is like when has raising a kid and just giving them a hundred million dollars. Yeah doubt. Yeah No, it's just an easy way people people love to do it when it whether they're like in controversy or like a situation like this

Like I'm thinking about my family, right and I'm like, yeah, I'm like Rob. You already had 50 or 100 million dollars That's plenty for any fact I don't understand what that means. If you're just gonna, your son wakes up and you hand them trust fund and endless money, that kid's gonna be dead by the time they're 25. What he should say and what the reality is,

he should be like, I'm thinking about my great, great grandchildren. Cause that's what the money, that's where the money like, when you get to a certain point, it's like, you can't spend all that. You're just setting up all the ROMs for the rest of the life.

And provide them a safety net and all that that but you still gotta like raise a human being like in order for them to work out Sex you can't just throw money out. So that always kind of drives me crazy, but I still would have taken them I mean well Especially now because the original guys the DJs and the Bubba's and all they took the brunt of it if you jump now nobody care Yeah, the first guys had to be like, you know, I'm just I'm really passionate about team style golf Yeah, and so it wasn't about the money at all and the other reporter be like we were asking you about 9-eleven I don't know why you're talking about team No, did you say not let know is that is that the the length of the shorts that they're doing?

Is that the inseam and now nobody even the ROM stuff ROM jumped and two days later people are like, alright Yeah, that's yeah. Sounds good. All right, you guys want to pick some numbers? Yes All right. Should we do numbers? Should it, man. Sounds good. All right, you guys wanna pick some numbers? Yes. Sure. All right, should we do numbers? Should we finish the show? By the way, Trent, I literally, I gassed when I saw you in linen. You looked so hot. Dude.

So we were shooting. You looked so hot. Thank you, I really appreciate that. We were shooting a commercial, and they were like, put on all this linen, and I did, and something shifted in me. You looked hot. Dude. Like, I stopped, it stopped me in my tracks on Twitter. I was just like, whoa, I need linen.

I've already been shopping for linen. Yeah. I already ordered a shirt. It just looked fucking cool. It looked like, you just look relaxed. And you're like, you're comfy too. Yeah, right. That's what you're looking for.

Yeah, right. You look good. No one ever calls me hot. Today, people are calling me hot. So if I'm comfortable and people are like, you look good, that's the route. It was a tough hour for me because the whole premise was kind of like Trent was shitting on me a little bit. And we had to do the take many, many times. So we just kept pulling up next to me and shitting on me looking really hot.

It was awesome. Well, I mean, we did a commercial where the whole thing was that we have small decks and we had to basically be naked for it. So it could be worse. Definitely. You all right? Hot Trent shitting on me is fine. And we had to basically be naked for it mm-hmm so it's not worse Numbers what do you guys got in the booth eight forty twenty three? 18 99 pug here. We go pug 21 all right. What do you guys got 55? 16 I'll go 73 Cuz it's gonna be 16th major for tiger 16 tigers not gonna make the cut Tigers make the guys come on. He's healthy. Is that he looked really good

To make a cut I'll bet it cut that's a big 16 because it's a 16th majors gonna win this he makes the cut and doesn't Withdraw. Mm-hmm. It's like 10 and 10 who's got nine. Anyone got nine? No nine majors. Mmm Gary player. I think Gary Player. All right, so Gary Player's going to bet on Gary Player. All right. All right, 87-year-old man. Everyone go subscribe before play.
