Yeah, spiritually. I mean, what do you shoot emotionally? Five over six over. Yeah, something
like that. It was it's tough to watch. It's tough to watch. I don't like watching Tiger struggle
like this. But but I do still like watching him play golf. So yeah, still out there. He's out
there. He's trying this whole tournament just seems like it's all setting up for Rory. It feels
it's giving Rory. I'm gonna knock on wood. Yes. Unfortunately. Yeah. It feels like it's
it feels like it's Rory's time, right? Like he's playing some of the best golf of his career.
And as we've said on this show, it's a big moment. It's got to be won by a big player. He's been
defending the the sanctity of the PGA. This can't be a random tournament winner. It will be. It
can't be. They'll just be random Cameron. I don't know why all the Cameron's are good at golf.
Cam Smith isn't random. Yeah, no, I know. But Cam Young. Cam Young is the one who's leading right
now. Cam Smith is in third. Yeah. So I'm saying the Cameron's are just it's it's the most golf
name out there. Just have a kid named Cameron. They'll probably win an open championship.
Scotty Cameron. Scotty Cameron. Yeah. Just list all your Cameron Kirk. No, Kirk Cameron. Kirk
Cameron. Yeah. Cameron Kirk, whatever. Cam Newton. Cam Newton. Cam girls. Yep. A lot of cams.
Hmm. But the open championship always fucks me up because of the time change. I just can't
like the fact they're playing while we're sleeping. Just I'm my brain is a P. I can't
understand. They started a good tea time for Max today. They started teeing off at 1 a.m.
which is insane. But I accidentally discovered a type of hack that you can use when you're
watching golf when the open is on. I woke up in the middle of the night at like 2 30 had to go P
on my way back to bed. I was like, Oh my God, the opens on right now. Yep. So I took a six hour
golf nap while the open was on in my bedroom. Listen, it was incredible. That is incredible.
I've never taken longer than probably like a 30 minute golf. Yeah. This was about six hours.
Just set up. Yeah. Set up your TV to automatically turn on right when it starts. Yeah. And just
keep sleeping. It's actually really nice because because in the open they always have the most
they're the most like foreign correspondents that are in the booth. So not only do you get
like the Nick Faldos but you get like a Scottish Brogax and then there's one guy that was from
the Netherlands. I'm pretty sure. Love it. It was really nice. It's very soothing way to
fall back asleep and then wake up. Yeah. So we got open championship going on. It feels like this
is we got to really embrace this because this is the last big thing besides like the home run derby
and the all star game like that's that's kind of it. Then we're falling off a cliff.
Yeah. Really. It's gonna be a long summer. Let's hug it. Let's hug it. Let's hold it.
Let's just kiss it. When's the Hall of Fame game. When is the Hall of Fame game football is back
because then the week after that I think hard knock starts. Yeah. True. Then then we're back.
Then we're all the way August 4th. Raiders Jags. There we go. We're right there. We have like two
weeks to get through. Yeah. We're right there. We also had maybe the biggest football news that
could ever be announced this week was the White Bengal helmet. Yeah. Which is so sick.
It is. Have you seen it? It's very cool. Yeah. It's so cool. I know this might be
grasping for straws here but the White Bengal helmet definitely got me pumped. That was big news
in my life. No it was. It was and when they first tweeted it out they messed up so you didn't even
get the video or any of the pictures and nobody had any idea what was going on. The White Bengal
helmet in the snow is going to be incredible. It's going to be like you're playing against a
team of Finnish snipers. Yep. They're just hiding it. You're not going to be able to see them.
It was it's incredible. So I'm all in on the White Bengal helmet. That's the big news of the day.
There's another bit of news that came out in the NFL. I'm going to do something I rarely do on this
show and Hank I hope you'll appreciate it. I'm going to go out of my way to defend Tom Brady.
Yeah. I'm going to I'm going to stand on the table for Tom Brady. Thank you for your service in
advance. He got done dirty. Yeah. By a headline by a headline. It was it's classic New York post
clickbait just trying to get people to do the quote tweets on it. The headline. Yeah. Well it was
very easy to do. Yeah. But then I clicked on it and then I felt bad. So I held back because I read
the article. The headline is Tom Brady. My wealth is the hardest thing about parenting.
Mm hmm. Sounds bad. Right. Yeah. Before you tell me everything I saw the headline
and I consciously was like I guarantee there's context here that isn't bad. But I'm not I'm
not going to spend the time to click on this. I'm just going to quote you. So what was your
quote tweet? It was just thoughts and prayers. OK. Yeah. That's very basic. Yeah. Right. So
in a way I could imagine why that would be a completely appropriate headline
because Tom Brady has literally everything else going for him. So maybe the worst part of his
life might actually be how rich he is too rich because he's got because he's got everything else.
Right. But I read the article. He said we have people that clean for us with people that make
our food. We have people that drive us to the airport if we need that we get off a plane and
there's people waiting there for us and we get ushered in. That's my kids reality which is the
hard part to say guys this is not the way reality really is. What can we do about that. So teaching
his kids how their life is like a fairy tale. Right. But don't expect your life to be like this.
This is not real. You should appreciate every second you have of this and then it's not always
going to be like this. But it is. It might not be for his kids though. What. Well I'm sure they'll
still be comfortable but I don't think they're going to have people waiting on them hand and foot
as adults when they get off planes. I think if you're a child of billionaires because they have
a bill they have a B to have a B. I think that combined they absolutely have a B. I know Giselle
makes more than him. I have a feeling that their life will always be in this not shaming whatsoever
but I have a feeling their life will always be pretty comfortable. He also said he wants to make
their kids relatable by creating experiences that are more along the lines of what most kids go
through which I think that's fair. It's probably tough to have your kid. Most of your if you're at
the Tom Brady level your children's friends you're never going to know like OK who's
friends and my son because of the Brady factor that goes along with it. You have to give them
ways to like relate to other kids their age. Right. And so I'm going out of my way to say
that Tom Brady got done dirty by this headline. He absolutely got done dirty and I also just
played into it because I was like yeah I know I know this headlines bad. So he needs so Tom Brady
needs to just give his kids those moments that are relatable to everyone else. Yeah. A little tip
Tom Brady you could do what my dad did when my birthday one year he I asked for a PlayStation
and he got bought me the holder for it. That's what I opened it and I was like what. And he's
like I thought that's what you wanted. He gave me the PlayStation later but it was it was fucked up
it was humbling for the moment. I was like what the fuck. Yeah it sucks. He's like no no that's the
PlayStation. It must be it must be tough to be a dad though. And you're like OK I have literally
everything in the world to give my kids but I need to also toughen them up. How do you toughen
kids up. Yeah. Because I think like any any dad would be like I want them to have it better than
I did. The fact is like I don't think that it's possible for Tom Brady's kids to have a better
life than he did. Yeah. Yeah. I mean it's good. Yeah. Now that you've read that story I actually
do kind of feel bad for him because he's right. It is like you have to basically say like I don't
want my kids to be douchebags. Yeah. I want them to be the rich asshole kids. Yeah. So how do I
do that without like also like Tom Brady's not going to change his life. I think Tom Brady should
give us all of his money. Yeah. And that way for your kids. Just let us hold it. Yeah for your
kids for a year. It's not because we want it. Yeah. For the sake of your family. Take them to
podcasting camp. Make them bloggers. That's actually not a bad idea. School hard not part of my take
fantasy camp. Yeah. We will we'll toughen up your kids for you for a small small fee of 20 million
dollars. I love it. We will make your we will we will we will make fun of your kids and make them
get us coffee. Just roast them. Yeah. Probably suspend them. Yeah. Make them stay up late watching
football. We'll do all of that 20 million dollars. That's actually really nice of us. So Hank what do
you think about that. What do you think about me and Big Cat put on the cape for Tom Brady. I love
it. I mean it's necessary. He's one of the most hated and unnecessarily hated just for being successful
people in the history of this planet. Well Jesus him and well said well said I would say him more
than Jesus. Probably. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot less people. There's a lot less people when Jesus
was around. Yeah. Tom Brady was retired for way longer than three days. Yeah. He still came back.
Yep. All right. Other stories Deodre eight might be a pacer. They sign an offer sheet. I feel like
the Suns will be stupid not to match it. I don't think they like him though. Well the Suns are
stupid. Yeah. That's the other part of that. I think that what happened at the end of the playoffs
last year I think they were just that's the end of the rope with them. Yeah. Yeah. So anything else
going on. It's it's it's light right now. We're going to Mount Rush was going to be great. People
love the part of my bake. We might have to do another one on Great Week because we will be
out in Rado. It occurred to me when we were talking about the the next white American
high school basketball player to be drafted first overall. I think we just all completely
forgot about Baron Trump. Oh he's soccer player though. Yeah. But what if it was a striker.
But he's like six eight right. He's still growing. So what if it was Baron Trump that broke the streak.
I saw a picture by the way of Chad Holmgren's ankles and I don't know if they're photoshopped
or not. They looked like Tiger Woods's legs. They were his his his foot didn't fit in his shoe.
Yeah. It was great. Was that photoshopped. I think it was real. Wow. I do too. That's crazy.
It is wild. You know that looks like you can put your fingers around his leg. Yeah. It also
feels like every Baron Trump pictures photoshopped. It's true which they might be who they're funnier
if they are. Yeah. Right. Right. OK. Anything else. Jake anything cool happening in the sports
world. Anything wild. I don't think so. I don't think while we had a recurring guest retired
today. Oh. Mitchell Schwartz. Ah. Oh yeah. Officially. So he was out last year with a back
injury. But great career. Yeah. Oh he did. Yeah. I want to see this real quick. It was four.
Four notes apps. Yeah. I'm not reading all that bro. I like you but I'm not reading what is it like
I'm happy for you. I'm sorry that happened. Yeah. But I ain't reading all that though.
What I mean it's it's it's a long four too. It's a very long four. That sucks because I feel like
his career got cut short a little bit. It did. He had a good career though. And he seems like he's
happy. And he won. He went out his last game was was a Super Bowl. Was it not. I think he got hurt
right after that. Maybe not. Maybe played a little the next year. He's had a good career either way.
He won a Super Bowl and flags fly forever. That's a fact. Him and Jeff are going to be doing a podcast
together real soon. Yeah. G off. What was that. That was for band practice. That was my time for
band practice alarm. But that's fine. I'm here with you guys. I've been sitting. We're jamming
right here. Yeah. I'm proud of myself for that. Jake you'd be proud of me. I've been
setting myself reminder alarms. Great. And I'm always like but I don't my problem is they don't
put what the alarm is for. Right. I don't do that either. But so then I'm always like what am I
supposed to do at four fifty seven. Well you can set an alarm. I don't set reminders. I put it in
the calendar. Oh I just set alarms and then I just get I have a constant like string of alarms
going off every day and I don't know what they're for. Yeah. I do that too. And it's like I'm moment
memento. And I usually do it for like a minute before. Yeah. I'm like fuck. You're like oh no.
One minute is ticking. Yeah. What was I supposed to do right now. I've got I think like 30 different
alarms set up in my phone. They're all off. But if I need to set an alarm for like the next day
I'll scroll through one of these and then figure out which one my god is closest to the time I need
to. Yeah. I like it. I just use that. Why. How many of T. has a lot of money. No it's probably more
amount of alarms I've ever seen. I like that. I have like four because I don't want to waste my
time creating a new alarm. Click edit. Nobody's so close to it. Yeah. I've got ones that gave me
a time that you would need an alarm for right now. 917 917 a.m. or p.m. p.m. Oh p.m. OK we're
mixing up. So let me scroll down. I got how does it how does 10 p.m. sound. No. Yeah. How is it right
there. That's you're in the more than 24. You're in the neighborhood. I should get 24. You should
get every every minute every minute. And then I just yeah I'm one touch. You just press on. That's
efficient. Yeah. 600. I also have 22000 unread emails that I have no problem with. But alarms I
think just edit like I have like you're the type of guy you probably you probably when you when you
have like extra time on your microwave you just you just clear it like you got to use that.
What do you mean. I'll save the time on the mic. Yeah you do. But you don't you don't like to see
the clock. No. If I use the microwave for two minutes. Right. I'm making popcorn three minutes
and I can hear that it's done with 30 seconds left. I'll save those 30 seconds and then use it for
the next thing. I like to see the clock. That's usually how how I decide how long to heat something
up for is whatever time is left on the right. Right. And then just hit start. I like to I like
to click stop as it's hitting zero and get the perfect the perfect stop. That is exhilarating.
Preheat your microwave. No. Yeah. That's why you hit the one. The minimum power.
You gotta let it go for 30 seconds. You gotta warm it up. Not me. That's a fact. My house will
blow up. Why. I just think that'll happen for preheating the microwave. Yeah. Is it still
true that if you're microwaving microwaves if you stand in front of the microwave it's it's bad.
I just went into Hank's brain for a second and completely understood what he was saying.
And it's the funniest thing of all time. You basically have the heating up heat.
Yeah. Yeah. That's not good. That's a bad combination.
You have the hadron collider or whatever in your in your house. Pretty much. Yeah.
I was always told not to stand in front of microwaves because then I won't be able to have kids.
Yeah. Well I'm asking that because the microwave in my house is like the same height as my is
my kid. You gotta skip. Yeah. So I'm like he's always just standing in front of it. Is that bad.
I'm sure that technology has improved so much in the last 30 years. You're good. Yeah. All right.
Fine. No problem. Okay. Before we get to Shane Bacon Roman is back. What would you want to last

OK. We now welcome on a very special guest live from the Open Championship in St. Andrews.
It is Shane Bacon. He is. You can see him on the golf channel. He also has a podcast where his
podcast host ditched him. His name is Max Oma. Yep ditched you. Shane thank you for joining us.
Let's talk links golf because we don't understand it whatsoever. So I guess you said you you've
you've caddied at St. Andrews before you know the course very well. Give us the background so that
we we just want to make sure that you're an expert. Yeah. So I appreciate you guys having me on big
fans. Even you PFT. Thank you so much. You look great in big cat. I wanted to say you look excellent
in your golf attire the other day. You look very much like a golfer super dialed. Yeah. When I was
done with school back in 2006 a buddy and I were golf fans kind of golf nerds and we were so we'd
sit on the roof of our house in college and talk about like what are we going to do when we get
done with college as everybody does. Are we going to go to grad school. Are we going to get a job.
And we're like why don't we go to Scotland. That'd be kind of cool. And we flew to Scotland and
didn't have any plans. He knew one guy in St. Andrews and we met a lady named Ivy who let
us stay in her house for 40 pounds a week. And it was five extra pounds if she did our laundry.
We obviously did that. And we got a job. We got a job at St. Andrews day number two of living
in Scotland. Will and I were caddying on the old course and apologies to those early groups
because we had absolutely no idea what we were doing. I think we had a relative idea what we
were doing in the back end of it. But yeah it was you know three four months of us looping around
and we caddy you know twice a day you know carry a bag for whomever and yeah it was it was wild.
So I feel like I'm I'm dialed enough to talk about Lee's golf especially this golf. Yeah.
How many times do you think that you've walked the course there. I was talking about this with
a buddy of mine yesterday probably a hundred times. I'd say it's probably a relatively decent
guess. So more than most of the guys and probably more than most of the caddies out here this week.
So again you know put it on my like you know Wikipedia page or whatever. That's that's great
though. That's a great story. And that also just makes me think like how much it must have sucked
for the guy who saved up all this money went out to St. Andrews trip of a lifetime and you're like
hey I'm Shane I just graduated college. This is my third day from Arizona. So the funny the funny
part about that was if it was early in their trip they were in their Americans they'd be super
pissed if they got me. But if it was late in the trip they were kind of happy to see an American
because they dealt with Scottish caddies for you know talking trash because Scottish caddies will
give it to you straight. I mean they don't sugarcoat anything they tell you when it's a bad shot. I
mean they get on you about a bad shot. You know when you hit a bad putt they'll tell you it was a
shitty putt. So you know when they get me on the back end of the trip they were relatively happy.
That's funny. So what are the secrets of the course. Give me a secret that nobody knows.
A secret of course one of them is on the 17th hole. So that's like the famous hole where you
hit it over the hotel. You know where you kind of roll it off the wall the road. There you go.
Look at you. You're so dialed. You actually want to miss it left of the green. You know everybody
hits it on the green and it's so hard and fast. It goes over the green onto the road. The play is
you actually hit it on 18 T and it's a pretty easy chip shot. So again not super simple when
there's people standing over there. But if you were playing for a score like playing on an open
today you want to bail it out left and give yourself a pretty easy chip. That's interesting
because like if you're going up to 17 and you're hitting your tee shot and there's a crowd on the
surrounding the 18th tee box you might second guess yourself and be like yeah kind of be a big
weird thing if I hit it into that crowd. But that's you're saying that's actually the smart
play to make. Well and then you have to say it immediately right. I meant to do that. It's
like calling your bank shot. Yeah it's a big key to sport right. I mean you tell everybody you
meant to do it. So yeah you walk up there and you apologize to the guys and you go my caddy
actually told me to hit it here. So when we're watching this this weekend
like what at what point does the wind become just an insane problem. Because I feel like
that's a big part of Lynx golf and especially golf in England and Scotland and Ireland where
it's like you'll turn on one day and they're like yep no one's going to be able to hit anything
because the wind is so bad. Is there like a mile per hour or direction that we should look out for
like oh oh everyone's fucked. Yeah 30 mile an hour I think is kind of my number on this golf
course. If it gets to 30 miles an hour I think that's when you might see play suspended. If you
guys remember I mean you go back to 2015 and they suspended play at the open at St. Andrews because
the winds were up so high. So they're not expecting them to be that nasty this week but when it got
to 30 mile an hour it was brutal and balls wouldn't stay on the greens and they blow off and things
like that. I mean even when I was caddy you know not like in open conditions they would
potentially get nasty like that. So when it gets to 30 golf kind of turns from fun to no fun.
Yeah does the wind help in a certain regard or would most of these guys out there rather
have it be completely still. This is going to sound like a big J by the way. I talked to Rory
McElroy about this this week. I asked Rory this question I said would you want it to be up or would
you want it to be relatively benign and he said always benign. I would rather it not blow even
downwind because it's so firm and hard this week over other opens at St. Andrews. This is the
firmest and the fastest we've seen it and so even when it's downwind you simply just can't hit it
short enough. You know you'll hit it 30 yards short of the green it'll still kick over. So
they would prefer no wind. I think all of us would prefer a lot of wind because
that's when it gets a bit chaotic and this golf course as historic as it is and it's one of my
favorite courses in the world it actually needs a little bit of wind because if it's not blowing
I mean these guys will shoot zero here over the weekend. Yeah so you followed Max it was Fitzpatrick
Max and Tiger today. Right. It's a tough day. Yeah so what happened with Tiger today like what
was it just his you know was it fatigue was it he just missed a couple shots here or there did
he did it feel at any moment like he had it you know he felt comfortable and confident in his
shooting. It didn't ever feel like he had it and the the moment I knew he didn't really was on one
I mean he missed about a four footer for bogey after he hit that second shot in the burn in the
water in front of the green and those are putts that you know I mean we all know Tiger makes
those all the time. It just felt like he was super off with his speed and the weird thing about that
was that was what Tiger was practicing all week. I mean on 18 on Monday he was sitting in front of
the green 20 30 yards short of the green hitting putt after putt after putt and on every green
you saw him practice on that was the main focus and his speed today was dreadful. I mean he was
leaving every 30 40 50 footer 8 to 10 feet short and then he wasn't converting those so the speed
was off. It's interesting we look at Tiger I don't know if you guys feel this way about Tiger
but we always look at Tiger like he is in fact a machine that he doesn't have jitters or that he
doesn't think about golf tournaments or it doesn't matter as much to him when he tees off and you
got to remember this guy's played what two tournaments this year and didn't even finish one
of them. I mean he wd in one tournament so getting kind of the feel of playing tournament golf
matters even to somebody like Tiger Woods and when he was leaving those long putt short
that was kind of the feeling I got was it just felt like he wasn't quite understanding the speed
in those tournament conditions and it just felt like every putt he was hitting was having a hard
time getting to the hole and coming up 10 feet short. You said burn and I think I know what a
burn is but can you explain to me from like it's just the difference between a burn and a creek?
Yeah I think it's just Scottish. I think it's just like the Scottish term for it you know.
It sounds way cooler to call it a burn. I totally agree with you. The other thing about a burn is
the balls they don't like hang up. You know if you like watch the Masters on 13 which has a creek
in front of the green sometimes the balls will like stay up on the grass and you can hit it.
Not the case of the burn. The Scottish don't deal with that bullshit. If you're in the burn you're
in the burn. You're in the burn. You're burned. You're burned. You're burned. You got burned.
Now Max the guy who ditched you. He's a friend of ours. Yep. How did he play today? Should we
feel confident that because I know I think he was what plus one or maybe even how did he look and
do you think he is going to have some confidence going into the next three days?
Made nothing and I think when you make nothing you can have confidence the next day because
that means you hit it good and he had you know kind of the same thing as Tiger with par putts.
Max had 10 to 15 footers for birdie basically the whole day and nothing will it really drop.
So again kind of leaning back on how well I've played this year if you're Max Homa I feel like
he's got to go into tomorrow feel like I can go out there and shoot a number because again he had
probably had 12 putts from inside of 15 feet for birdie and made one of them.
So when did you say that he ditched you on the podcast?
It was late last year so we had a thing rocking and rolling and then Max you know it was like
winning and finishing in the top 10 and big tournaments and everything like that and he was
like hey man every time I do this podcast I have to talk about my rounds and when I play bad I have
to talk about my bad golf and I don't want to do that anymore and I thought that was relatively fair.
Yeah I guess.
I mean do you talk about like you talk about your bad podcast PFT what do you do
when you have a bad podcast?
All the time the bad podcast actually becomes so bad that they turn into being good podcasts.
Yeah okay yeah so it's so bad it's so it's good.
Yeah when we screw up and we like have a terrible podcast it becomes like almost better
in a weird way because we're that good.
We're that consistently good you know what I mean?
Like we're so good.
Yeah you bring it back.
Yeah right.
You're like Tiger in his prime you could save a round you know.
When you guys can I ask you guys a links golf question.
Sure.
As you guys are kind of watching the golf and everything like that.
For example heads.
Experts.
Does it do it for you guys like when you watch St Andrews does it make sense to you do you feel
like you need to be here to see it or do you just enjoy it because it's a major and all the
guys are playing.
I like it a lot because it's different.
I would not want to watch it week in week out I think that would get very very boring
but seeing just how fucked up these courses are and how deep the bunkers are.
It's the courses are designed for pain but in a much different way from
U.S. open courses right which you know they let the rough talk.
They let the rough sing at the U.S. open on these courses.
It's like you're playing golf on the surface of the moon which I kind of love.
Yeah I I don't understand how it's hard and this is very stupid.
But we actually talk we talk about it with Frankie and Trent coming up in the Mount Rushmore
but I don't I watch it because I'm such a bad golfer I'm just always in the trees
and I look at this course I'm like no trees easy just fucking hit it straight.
There's a myth the fairway it feels like the fairway is just the largest thing ever.
So I think if I went there because I remember I went to the U.S. open at Olympia fields in
San Francisco and that was the first time I ever went to a golf Olympic club Olympic club.
Sorry I went to the first time I went to a golf major tournament and I remember
standing there and being like holy fuck look at this fairway.
It's like totally slanted and it's such an insane angle and I finally was like yeah
I get it now like this makes sense.
So I think I have to go see it because as I sit there and watch it I'm like yeah just
hit it into the fucking burnt out grass and then hit another one into more burnt out grass
and then it'll just roll and it will just go into the hole.
Yeah the hardest thing for you know we were talking about Caddy and the hardest thing when
I had like American players come over was explaining to them that the shots that they
typically hit won't work here and so to your point it does look wide open and the greens are huge
but you're going to have to putt from 40 yards off the green.
I mean you guys have seen that Michael Phelps putt when he made at Kings Barnes years ago
was like 150 yard putt.
Like that's kind of normal to do here so it's a different type of golf
but I think that's why you see the pros have so much success that opens
is because once you kind of understand how to do it you can get around relatively easy
but if you're playing four days and you're going back to the States it's not going to be that easy
for you.
And now in terms of like the the fairway it's all sand under very little grass right like
it's basically every shot to sand shot.
So how does that you don't take a you don't take a big divot right.
Right so yeah how does that affect like how what are guys doing are they using different clubs
like are they are they are they saying like oh I can't hit this as hard because I can't get
underneath it as much like how does that work.
Yeah you'll hit you'll hit more club and try to hit it softer.
So instead of hitting a nine iron from 150 let's say you might hit a seven iron from 150
and try to just kind of keep it low and take a little bit off it.
And so when you watch like when you watch this weekend watch how short the follow-throughs are
from the players because they don't really get it all the way through because they're just kind of
knocking it down.
Every shot almost looks like how Tommy Fleetwood always plays.
Okay so in a hole like the road hole if you're not taking the expert approach which as everybody
knows is right you go on the 18 18 18 if you were to go putter off the tee on that one how
many strokes would it take a putter on the road hole right now.
I mean I think I'd set your over under at like do you could you hit a pft.
Could you put her up in the air 100 yards you think.
Yeah my putter is the strongest part of my game by far.
Right but if you could hit a putter 100 yards I think I'd set your over under at seven and a
half on putting on the road hole.
It's easy that's nothing.
Oh yeah I think you could make I think you could not take the under I think I'd put you
it I think I'd put you at a seven and a half.
Pete Tiger.
So like a so a real question what's the most common mistake that you'll see a caddy make
like a professional caddy on St. Andrews.
A professional caddy mistake on the old course not not understand how far the ball rolls out.
You know I mean like there was this great podcast with Steve Williams not one of you
guys podcast but another person's podcast competing podcast about the 2000 open the
Tiger one and Steve said he would literally write down all the numbers of where the balls
rolled out because you think okay Tiger's hitting a four iron right and it's 312 yards
to the bunker but he in theory could hit it in that bunker he had to drive 412 yards today
Tiger did so that I mean it landed at 312 yards and rolled 100 yards out with the driver so
I think the mistake is not understanding how far the ball is going to roll
because again this is probably the firmest that we've ever seen this particular golf course
so you're going to see players get in trouble because the ball is going much further than
they've ever thought the ball could go off a certain club.
We're going to get back to Shane Bacon in a second but before we do want to talk to you guys about

All right so we're gambling guys. I know the tournament has started but you can bet at any time
looking at the current top 10. Who do you think is playing the best or you saw you know you know
maybe in the practice rounds who you think is like all right this guy he's he's in a really really
good spot to win this whole thing. Well I loved Rory this week because I think that Rory's played
well lately. I know it's been a long time since he's won a major. He's played well lately and Rory
is the kind of guy that actually cares about sports history unlike so many athletes. I mean
he dives into this stuff. He eats it up. He knows what it means to win at certain places. So
you know for people that aren't big golf fans winning at St. Andrews I'd say is probably the
biggest accomplishment in golf outside even of winning the Masters. You know there's only an open
here every five or six years. You know you play at Augusta every year you have an opportunity to
win the Masters every year in theory but if you're a good player you might have three times to play
St. Andrews in your prime right. I mean if you're a 25 year old you play it when you're 31 you play
it when you're 36 or 37 and then all of a sudden you're in your 40s and you're a bit past your
prime. It's crazy to say but this might be the last time Rory's really in his quote unquote
prime play in the old course and he's played great this year. So I think Rory's the favorite.
It's funny you know I liked this week and I really didn't announce it and I should have
was Podrick Harrington. I thought Podrick Harrington was going to have a good week
and he went out there and played great today. He's in the hunt. So that was kind of my sleeper
was Podrick Harrington. Now what do you think the score to win this thing is going to be? Like
where do you see it on Sunday? I think it'll be 19-20-21 under. Wow. Okay so Mickey Mouse golf
course kind of. Yeah just if the wind doesn't blow so in 2010 Rory shot 63 in the first round
there was no wind. The wind blew in the second round he shot 80. So wind can change the whole
dynamic of the old course but if the wind's not blowing it's just not very long especially for
these guys and especially how baked out it is. So I just feel like with the wind not up much
65, 66, 67 if you're playing well is about what the par is. So when I'm watching and you tell me
if I'm way off because I might be completely wrong about this but I feel like the players
that are playing today they're playing essentially the same course that has been played for years
and years and years. Have they updated it? Have they made it more difficult or is this
relatively like pretty similar to what they were doing back in the 50s, 60s? It's relatively
similar. They've added a few new tees but not a whole bunch. I mean it's when you look at the
scorecard like I mentioned Tiger had a 412 yard drive today. I think I added it up and if he had
hit that on certain par fours he would have driven or driven it over seven par fours at St. Andrews.
When you look at a U.S. Open you think about Olympic club, big cat. I mean you know these par
fours are 464, 70 sometimes 500 yards even 520 yards at certain U.S. Opens. That's just not the
case here because they do want it to feel as PFT said they want it to feel like it felt in the 1900s
and the 1800s and when Jack won and Seve won and Tiger won. So there are some changes they do
but not enough and the thing is when the conditions aren't up all these guys hit it. I mean these guys
hit it 350 now. They're going to get drives around the greens on a whole bunch of par fours.
So I need to give you a moment here to tell us about your luggage situation.
Oh my God because you did say that it's the best moment in Twitter history.
It's been, it's been an insane time. It sounds like everyone's dealing with the same thing.
Riggs I think lost his luggage for like five days. Did he ever, I don't think he's ever
got it. I don't think he might not have got it. So is that there's just everything I've understood
there's just a, it's not Heathrow, right? You guys are flying somewhere else.
So if you flew through Heathrow, that was the issue. So I flew through Heathrow to Edinburgh
and that was the big issue. Heathrow is losing a ton of bags and then they don't have the people
at Edinburgh to help out either. So I asked somebody at Edinburgh airport, which is one of
the airports in Scotland. I asked the lady, I was like, Hey, just, you know, what is the deal here?
Because there were bags, big cat everywhere. So it was a mountain of bags.
Oh, I landed at midnight and it was just, I mean, there was shit everywhere in the carousel.
It almost looked like if you were making a movie, how you would make like a bag,
baggage situation look like on a set. And I asked the lady, I said, Hey, what,
what happened here? You know, like, what's going on? And she said that the baggage situation
and Heathrow is so bad. They're actually flying planes to Edinburgh with no bags on them.
So full planes of people, not a single bag on the airplane. And then they're sending a whole
bunch of bags at times. So my golf bag got lost. My normal, my clothes got here, which is nice.
But my golf bag got lost. So I was going to play a whole bunch of golf, you know,
it stays light here till about 11 o'clock in the summer. I was going to play golf pretty
much every day or every night. Didn't have golf clubs though, whatever. It's not a big deal.
And some random person on Twitter, I was like having fun with it. I lost my golf bags
as sucks, you know, whatever, being stupid. Some random person on Twitter sent a pic,
no avatar on the Twitter account. This is how random it was. Took a picture of a whole bunch
of golf bags in Edinburgh and my travel bag was on top. So I circled it on my iPhone. I posted
a picture on Twitter and I knew how bad the situation was and I knew I wasn't going to get
my bag. That was the thing. I knew if I didn't get my bag from a random person, there was no
chance I was going to get it before I left Scotland. So I said, if you grab my bag and
you're coming up to St Andrews, I'll give you 200 bucks. If you get up this way, I go play golf
with Reynolds. And again, I told you it stays light till 11. So I'm not on my phone. I'm not
checking what's going on. I look at my phone. I have all these messages from people like,
Hey dude, look at Twitter. Some girl named Steph grabbed my bag. She was coming up by St Andrews
and brought it up with her. Her and her boyfriend brought it up, dropped it off the hotel like
1130. I took a picture with her. But again, good in the world, good on Twitter. Twitter never
brings us any total and, and, and 100% happiness. And this is one of the rare moments. That's
awesome. That is hashtag golf right there. So I got, I got Steph. I don't even think she knows
the show. Maybe I'll announce this on, pardon my take. I got Steph two tickets for Sunday at the
open. So she's come out with her boyfriend and her birthday is Saturday. So Sunday, her and her
boyfriend are going to come out to the open and I'm going to, you know, try to see what I can do
about getting them in places where they can get some free drinks and stuff. But yeah, hopefully
they're, they're being excited about that. Wow. What a story. So you mentioned that you can play
golf real late there. It's late outside till 11. Max did that at the Scottish open, right?
Yeah. He loved the course so much. He wanted to play a second time. Any chance he does that again
today? I don't, I don't, I don't think today. I mean, he's getting off the, it's 941 here. You
know, he got off the golf course at nine and he's got to go out early tomorrow. So I don't think he's
going to squeeze in 18, maybe nine, you know, maybe like a quick six, but I don't, I don't see like a
full 18 this evening. You can't play. The guys can't play St. Andrews after it's done, right?
Can they play it at night? No, no, you can't go back out there and do it. I actually think that's,
I think that's against the rules. I think you can't go practice on the golf course you're playing
a tournament in. That sucks. That's probably a smart rule. Hank would definitely just go with that.
Well, Hank would get there early. Yeah. He played 18. Get there early and held a chip shot. Go,
go hit a whole bunch of putts on the holes early. That would be a smart way to do it. Production
Here's a fun fact. We did, we did fun facts on our last episode of part of my take.
I'm not sure if you're familiar. You probably are because you lived there. Do you know what the
national animal of Scotland is? Is it a sheep? It's the unicorn. Can you believe that? Is that
an animal? I guess so. They just, they declared it to be their national animal. I just thought that
was a fun fact. That's not even, that's not even real. If you believe in it, it is. Do we have fake
things as state birds and like mottos and stuff? Well, birds aren't real in general.
But I'm saying, do we have like a fake bird, you know, like, uh, like Toucan Sam is the
state bird of New Hampshire. I don't, I don't think we would ever do something like that. But I,
I think that it's like Scotland, like, you know, harkening back to their, uh, mythological days
and all the nights at the round table and shit like that. They're like, you know what? There you
go. That's how I learned today about Scotland. Yeah. How, how is your golf game? It's okay.
It's okay. I, I tried to play back in my earlier years, uh, obviously, you know,
flamed out what didn't do it. I, I shot a, I shot 68 in my first pro tournament, big cat,
and I was like 38 leaderboard. And I mean, I played my ass off. I've already the last two
holes. I was all fired up and, uh, that was almost about the peak of my professional career. But
you know, I still play competitive stuff, still play amateur stuff. I'm playing the
Connecticut open in a couple of weeks, uh, qualified into that. So yeah. I mean, I still,
you know, play a little bit and get it around here and there.
That's fun. We, we, we, so coming up is the Mount Rushmore of worse golf guys. Do you have
anyone that particularly like you hate like guys you play with? Yeah. I mean, the, I would say,
I mean, I mean, slow guy that sucks is number one to me, you know, because you can like people,
you know, people come up to me and they, you know, Hey, I, I just want to let you know I'm not very
good. I mean, I don't care if you're the worst golfer I've ever seen. You just can't be bad and
slow. The same goes for a good player. Don't be good and slow either. I mean, being fast is
important. So I would say like the bad slow golfer, and then the person that's giving advice
to somebody that's better than you, like we have a, we have a buddy named Jake Menard.
And Jake will tell anybody he's like an 18 handicap. He would break down max's swing if max
is around. I'm sure max loved that. What about this golf etiquette wise? Um, wait, I like to,
when I'm playing someone and we're maybe playing for money, um, when they're on the green and
they're about to put, I like to pick up their ball and put it right back down. Is that legal?
No, I don't know if it's necessarily legal, but I really like it in terms of gamesmanship.
Yeah. Right. So you put, you put it in the same spot. Same exact spot. I just pick it up and I'm
just like, let me look at that real quick and then put it right back down right before they're
about to put. I love that move. I might start doing that. I might do that if the Connecticut
opens. It always fucks with people because they're like, what the hell are you doing with my ball?
Yeah. I'm not doing anything. I'm just literally picking up, put it down. This is going to show
you how little we know about golf, but when you're caddying and you ask the guy like,
Hey, you want it in or out for the pin? Does it make a difference at all if the pin is in or out?
Not really. Now, I mean, I think, I think golf guys would argue with me saying not really because
they get super golf nerdy, but I mean, like good players on the PJ tour putt with it in and good
players putt with it out. Like it doesn't really matter. I always assume that if it's in, you have
a better chance of it's coming hot to maybe catch up on it. I think that's probably true kind of,
if you did a whole study on it, but at the same time, it can also like,
it could reject it if it's coming in with speed. And sometimes those fast putts, if the pin's out,
hit the back of the hole, pop up in the ear and go in. So you're missing out on that opportunity,
which also is a cool way to make a putt. What goes through my head whenever somebody asks me
that question, if it's in, that just means I've already accepted the fact that I'm not going
to make that putt. And if it's out, that means that I'm actually, I have half a chance that I
might go in. Yeah. So we're talking about, by the way, we're talking about bad golf guys. I got
one for you. It's the guy that changes that, depending on how far the putt is. So I've played
tournament golf before with guys that want the pin in on longer putts, but want it out on shorter
putts. So you're kind of going back and forth. You got to pick one or the other. Yeah, that's
true. That would be annoying. All right. So I have one last question for you. It's the row back
question. Use promo code take. You get 20% off your first purchase. Great golf Q zips and hoodies
and polos rowback.com use code take for 20% off your first purchase. I don't know why it took us
this long to get here, but I mean, your last name, dude, like that's fake, right? No, no. I mean,
that's not fair that you have a last name bacon. That's the most, I mean, Kevin Bacon and Shane
Bacon, like you just have the most memorable name, like people don't forget your name.
Shane Bacon, same amount of letters too. So there's like a lot of symmetry, you know,
it's kind of five and five. I married a woman whose last name was beverage. So she went from
beverage to bacon. How about that? What? She kept her last name, right? Her middle
name is now beverage. Yeah. She hyphenated it. Beverage bacon. No.
The thing is she switched to bacon because it was beverage, but it was spelled without the,
it wasn't typical spelling. It was like IDGE. So she went to bacon to make things easier because
she said she had had to spell it out, but I was really pushing for the hyphen because I thought
it'd be really funny. Wait, does she have any of that Tito's money? Because I know that Tito from
Tito's vodka. His name is Tito beverage. Yeah. I don't know if she hadn't told me about it. She
might be holding out on me. Did you, what was the moment? How old were you when you realized
like my last name is awesome? You know, I think it got, you get through that awkward stage of 11,
12, 13, when everybody thinks that the jokes matter. And I think when you get to 15, 16 and
you realize if they're making fun of you, that's a good thing. That was kind of the good moment
in my life when I went and then you get to college and people, like you said, never forget your name
because your name is bacon at the end and everybody in theory likes bacon. It is one of the rare
universal thing. It would be like if your name was, you know, PFT puppy, which is like, oh,
wow, that last name is great. Everybody likes puppies. Puppy's not a bad name. Yeah. Puppy's
a great last name. Throw it out there. Throw it out there next kid, maybe next kid. Oh man,
that's good. Well, Shane, thank you so much. We appreciate it. You're now a recurring guest.
So we'll have you back on to talk golf and good luck with the rest of the tournament watching
everyone and hopefully Tiger plays better, but I don't, I don't know if that's going to happen.
I put too much money on him to win the game. Let's go. Let's go max. Yeah. I think max will
bounce back tomorrow. And also I just wanted to tell you guys, I don't normally wear a backwards
hat, but I spilled ketchup on it 13 stacks before we started the podcast. So there you go. That's
a cool long day. Yeah. It's been a long day. Listen, your name is Shane. I would be disappointed
if your hat was forward. How'd you spill ketchup on a hat? I mean, I'm in the, I'm in the booth.
Like I'm still in our booth here. Was it, were you wearing it when you spilled ketchup on it?
Yeah. Like, well, I got the serious ketchup right here. You know, I got my sandwich.
Taking it off. I'd catch him on my hand. Oh, okay. Wait, not a great situation. I think you're
lying. I think it was a ketchup packet explosion. No, no, no, no, no, no. These listen, these UK
packets don't explode. It's serious plastic over here. I think you're lying. I think you like to
eat the fries off the top of your hat and you're just a weirdo. Now the Shane Baker thing, isn't
that cool? Now you call me. Damn it. I knew I shouldn't have brought it up. Important Scotland
question. Do you get good straws over there? Are they the paper straws? No, no, paper at Starbucks.
It's brutal. Listen, I think it's lame, but I'm one of those guys that go to Starbucks everywhere
I go because it's the only consistent thing on the road. Yeah. That makes sense. Is that lame?
No. No, I don't think so. I don't think so. You like. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. Paper straws
awful. Yeah. They're the worst. All right. Fuck the sea turtles. Shane, thank you so much. We
appreciate it. And yeah, with everyone, check them out on golf channel all weekend. Appreciate it.
Thanks guys. We're going to get right back to the show. All right. Back to part of my take.
Okay. We now welcome on very special guests is the golf boys is a four play boys. Go subscribe
to four play. It is Trent and Frankie first time on part of my take first time. Let's go. I remember
a couple of years ago during the masters. I remember speeding down the highway with rigs and we had
you guys on speakerphone. Oh, yeah. The only other time I was on, but this is the first time officially
in studio. Yes. Welcome. I love it. I love it. And you guys just came back from Scotland and playing
links golf. Correct? We did. Yeah. It's a grind over there. It's a totally different game. We
just got back two days ago. This course that we're watching right now is just it's an absolute beast.
So you play this course. You play. No, we did not play St. Andrews. Okay. But we wanted to
around it. We were there the week before we wanted to play, but they shut it down so they can get
ready for the open. So this is a dumb golf question. But like I when you say this course is a beast.
I think I understand why, but I also am like there's no trees so I can't get lost. But like
it's just the most it's like an unassuming beast. If that makes any sense, you there's no
trouble when you look out there and then there's all these pot bunkers. It's almost like there's
holes in the ground that just go on forever. They literally call them coffins, right? Yeah.
There's one row that it's the coffins and there's three in a row that just are you can't get out of
them. You have to actually go backwards. Yeah. And if you look at American golf, it's more sticky
and soft. Like you can hit a wedge super high and it'll land on the green and stop in Scotland.
It's much different. It's all burnt out and hard and firm. So what we learned when we were over
there, the caddies were telling us where you think you're going to go, land it 20 to 30 yards
short and it'll run out and go towards the hole. Because if you land it on the green next to the
hole, you're going to be like 30 yards past the hole. All your yardages are always to the front.
So it was really hard to like accept that. So you hit your nine iron 145 yards. You're now
using that 165 yards shot. They probably don't even make golf clubs that I could use on this
course. Yeah. Just overhead everything. How's your game PFT? I know you've been playing a bunch.
Pretty strong. Yeah. I almost had a par. A lot of people, you probably already heard about it. I
almost had a par on the iconic ninth at whatever county course I was playing at last week. I hit
my nine iron out of the fairway. It was about 145, 155 and put it within about 12 feet and then hit my
putt like four feet. And so left myself eight feet for my bogey. The internet being nice to you about
your swing every time you post it? Well, honestly, all they're saying is like, your swing's better
than Hank's. That's really the main comment. Hank's been basically doing Trent, your breaking 100
series, but just every single day by himself and not documenting it. And he hasn't broken 100. I
did some videos. I've broken 100. You have? Yeah. When? Well, I scored 100. Oh, that's not broken.
Into 100. Yeah. Trent, when you broke 100. I easily could though. It wasn't 100, was it? 95. Yeah,
right. Trent's improving. So when Trent does his breaking 100 and breaking 90 videos, I have to
watch all of them. And it's not just you, Trent, because you're a very likable person. Everybody
roots for you. I think you're a piece of shit, but everyone else seems to really love you. I
watch it to see you get your heart broken. But then Frankie is such a great wingman on these trips.
So like I just dig the whole dynamic that you guys have going on. It's very soothing to watch you
play around the golf, even if you're not like playing your best. It's some of the best content
that we put out. Yeah, Frankie is as much of a part of it as I am. Like I mean, I'm the guy trying
to make the score, but he's gassing me up. Tell me what I need to do. Tell me what I'm doing wrong
sometimes. It's a good dynamic and it works. And I mean, I'm trying to break 90. We're still,
where are you right now? Are you consistently shooting in the 90s? So on the series so far,
no. I shot 98 the first time and then I went 103, 102, 101. I know. And then it's like we're
basically back to breaking 100. But right. But I played well in Scotland. I think I figured
some things out. So I feel better about my game now. I think I'm going to start putting up
mid 90s pretty much consistently. Nice. Yeah. Nice. And what about you, Frankie? What are you
shooting these days? I had like the round of my life the other day during one of the episodes.
I shot 79. What? I was on track to shoot like a 74 and I kind of blew up on one hole. But yeah,
something about playing with him and trying to accomplish his goal, I forget about all my mental
demons. And I kind of just like hit the ball and then go to him. And I don't realize like my ball
is right in the middle of the green or I'm making the pot or I'm making the birdie. And halfway
through the round, we're like, holy shit, what the hell's going on over here? That's awesome. Yeah.
I also think that helping somebody out and by kind of like giving them pointers here and there,
if you're teaching somebody else something, you're also like subconsciously reinforcing that
to yourself. Yeah. And so you're like coaching yourself, but you don't even realize it. Yeah.
And he's been working with a mental coach shooting a series called Fixing Frankie. This guy, Dr.
Brett McCabe, who works with John Rom and Billy Horschel, all these guys on tour, just trying
to get Frankie like a process and to figure it out. It's crazy. Not to be such a neurotic weirdo
on the golf course. Right. Yeah. It's been working too. He's chipping insane. Thinking through a
golf shot makes you better. Yeah. It's weird. I don't have the time for that. What's your,
yeah, I don't think through anything really. What's your biggest neurosis that you have that
you have to work through? I'm very self-deprecating. That's how I get through life. And I feel like
I'm back on the couch. This series hasn't come out yet, but it's like he literally sits me down.
He's like, what's wrong with you? And I say like, I like to make jokes about myself before I accomplish
the thing that I'm trying to accomplish. Right. So I'll be over a wedge shot or like a little tight
lie, you know, with a sandwich in my hand. And I'll say, well, everybody watch out, like watch
your kneecaps, watch your legs. This thing's coming in hot. Immediately when I say that,
I'm already setting myself up for failure. And then I fail. Right. So he was saying,
like, why do you step up to a tee and rope a drive with a little bit of a draw right down
the middle? It's exactly where he wanted it. And I was like, oh, because I'm confident in that.
He's like, step up to the wedge just like that. So we did all these like these things to make me
confident stepping up to the ball. And it worked. I liked it. He's a therapist. And his first question
is what's wrong with you? Yeah. That's a guy. And we drank during it, which I think might have been
like not kosher. No, that's good. Actually, I think therapy, they should include a bar. There
should be an open bar. He was saying and and they should just give you a ball to throw around.
Me and fights discover this when we're at the ocean. We're down at the beach last year and we
were just like throwing a vortex football to each other like calmly. We started talking about our
dads. And next thing you know, we're like expressing ourselves emotionally to each other.
And we're like, what's going on? Oh, yes, because we're fucking playing sports while we do this
tossing this around. We should mention before we do the Mount Rushmore, do we have a comment on
Tiger? Because I bet a lot of money on him to make the cut. He is so bad right now. Frankie,
I saw your tweet where you're like here like he roped the first drive of the day. Best golfer in
the world. Then you put the next one in the drink. Where are we at? Because we were talking before.
P.F.T. kind of thinks he might retire. Is that on the table? So they actually somebody with Sky Sports,
I think, this week asked him about that because it's the 150th. He loves this place. He said it's
his favorite golf course in the world. He walked, I think, 58 holes during the practice rounds,
which is way more than he usually does, especially with that bad leg. And they asked him like,
are you going to retire? Because it seems like you're trying to savor every moment here. It's
kind of maybe your last go around. He said no. But it's certainly going to be the last time that
he can play at a semi high level. Obviously, it's not playing out right now. But for the next
time that it comes to St. Andrews, it's going to be a few years with the rotation. So I don't know.
I mean, I wish you were playing better. I wish that we could do one more magic go around at St.
Andrews. But it does not seem like it's panning out that way. So if you like, I would assume though,
like, even if he retires and stops playing like every tour, he's still going to play the majors,
right? You don't like retiring golf, right? That kind of thing. Right. So when people retire,
they just retire to play more golf. Right. Right. That's exactly right. And also,
like, he gets to choose his own schedule. He's not a part of a team. He's not like,
retiring would mean, Hey, I'm not coming on Thursday to that game. Right. He's just like,
I might show up to the US Open next year. I might show up if my leg feels good to the
PJ championship. He's exempt. He's always going to be in all these things. He might show up,
I don't know, for the next 10 years. Who knows. Right. Like, I feel like he's just always going
to play the Masters. Right. That's the plan. And he's always said that's the plan. He calls out the
Hogan schedule. Ben Hogan had a horrific injury and then would always pick and choose his tournaments
that he would play in. Tigers are going to do the same thing. Yeah, I think that's right. So
retirement doesn't mean he's never going to play golf again for the rest of his life. But I think,
like looking at his leg up, people forget he has like half of a leg. His entire really bad. His
calf is gone. The picture that came out like a month ago where usually he's wearing the sleeve.
Like when, when he knows he's going to be in public and photographed or videoed,
he puts a sleeve on it. There was one time I forget where he was and somebody caught him and
just took a picture with him and he wasn't wearing the sleeve and people are like,
that's about a hundred million times worse than we all thought. He looked like a scarecrow. Like
he was literally pieced together. What did you guys think about rigs tweet when he just
tweeted a picture of the crash? It was like, this guy's dominating right now. I mean,
that was like a couple of tournaments ago. I think it was might have been the masters when he had a
little bit of a run and it was just a picture of the crash site. He was like, this guy's fucking
playing balls off. Listen, that's a ballsy and aggressive tweet. But if you think about it,
the fact that he was playing well enough to make the cut at these tournaments after he went flying
off a cliff 80 miles per hour, there were no break marks, nothing. He just went. That's interesting.
It's pretty, yeah, it's pretty. No blood tests either. That's kind of interesting.
Please didn't find anything. They also said, hey, what's up Tiger? Can I get an autograph?
The sheriff, I think he said, he held a press conference and was like, we have the answers,
but we're closing this case and we're not going to release any of the evidence. We're so honored to
be there at Tiger Woods. He was wearing a Tiger Woods hat and he was wearing a red mock neck
during the interview. The only problem, like the retirement stuff, I don't think he's going
to retire, but if you're looking at a tournament where he could potentially play well, like he
skipped the U.S. Open at Brookline for a reason because it's Hilly and he doesn't want to put
that on his body and he was saving up for this tournament. St. Andrews, it's flat and the weather
isn't as bad as it could be. So that would be ideal conditions for him to perform and he's not.
So it's, it's a red flag in that aspect. He was in a divot on one. That's the only reason it was.
The ball was in a divot when he hit it. He hit the second one into the burn, right? Yeah.
I don't know why they call it the burn, by the way. It's filled with water. It makes no
sense. We're going to talk to Shane Bacon a little bit. We'll ask him that. Yeah. Yeah. Who do
you guys have beef with right now? Jeff Shackleford. Jeff Shackleford. Pretty much all the old,
not all of them because some of them are good, but there was, when we were in Australia for the
President's Cup and we fist bumped Tiger and we put the video up and we were giddy because that's
just kind of, that's an awesome video. Right. That's kind of how we are. Tiger was friendly
with you guys. Oh yeah. So we get giddy and then I think Frankie tweeted during that, like,
he was playing a guy named Abancer and Frankie was like, I want Tiger to beat Abancer so badly
that he quits the game of golf. And those two things combined. Turned out he went to live,
so he kind of did. A couple, a couple, a couple old guys were like, I can't believe these guys get
media credentials. I think it's like Bob Huggins and Jeff Shackleford. Those guys suck. They're mad
that they've spent their entire existence inside that media tent, clicking away at all the words
that they're going to write that no one's going to read on JeffShackleford.com about like the
presence of the game of golf and all of our hearts and our minds. Like, what the fuck are you talking
about? We're going to get 10 times the amount of views, 10 times the amount of clicks by just giving
the guy a high five because that's the world we live in. We live in this world. You live in a
non-existent world. You guys are fans, first and foremost. Right. And we were just fine. And we would
have never said those things like we didn't, we weren't on the offensive. We were on the defensive
because they were saying like, I can't believe that these guys have credentials. We've always said
that there's enough room at the table for everybody. The written, the journalist, that side of it is
fine. The fanboy side of it that we are, that's fine too. You got to see these guys. They literally
go up to the desk and like try and get our credentials taken away from us. They're complaining
to like the heads of the PGHM. It should be like, we're not writing if they're out there. It's nuts.
That's right. They'll probably be like, okay, see you. You can actually, it turns out you can
write words about golf if you watch it on TV. Yeah. 100%. And one of Jeff Shackleford's things was
you guys are making it about yourself, not about the game or about the golfers. And like he just
said, his website is jeffshackleford.com. Jeff Shackleford, right? And we're all out here trying
to do the same thing. I think you guys are making it about the game, but by making it about yourselves,
to a certain extent, when they show those moments like Tiger Woods coming up,
everybody that watches it gets to see Tiger Woods meeting a fan that's been appreciating
the work that that guy's been doing for years and years and years growing up watching him on TV.
They get to see you guys get super excited about that. People like that. Like it's meeting your
heroes. People like seeing people meet. It's what all these like old journalists, like whatever
they complain about their flights or the press box. That's what we always make fun of. It's like,
dude, you realize that a lot of people listen to us and like read us because they know that we
have a dream job. Right. Why would we pretend that it's anything different? I'm like, no, Tiger,
I don't want to fist bump. And the number one response we get to those videos is like, I feel
like I feel like I'm living like through you because they feel like they know you and you know
Tiger. Exactly. Yeah. So actually, my favorite video that you guys did in a situation like that
was a couple of years ago when Tiger came up to you guys for the first time. And he just started
like chit chatting with you, just like making small talk like he knew you guys. And then he
asked Trent the famous question, where are you guys stationed? And Trent's brain just froze.
Like the screen saver appeared on Trent's face. And which is, I mean, that's a very like weird
way to ask. I'm still not even sure what he was asking. Military. He was asking. Yeah,
exactly. He's a Navy SEAL. He is a Navy SEAL. He had a setup at Pebble Beach for Barstool Radio.
So that could have been the station. Is he asking us where are we stationed like that week? Like,
where's our house? Where's Barstool headquarters? Yeah. Right. Where are you stationed? So he
actually said, Trent actually went, the, I just, he said, the first time Tiger Woods had ever looked
me in the eyes and said words my direction. I just had nothing for him. That's an awesome
power move though. To like, to ask somebody a question, they don't know the answer to the
first time you meet him. Where are you stationed? So do you, like, if he asks you again, do you have,
like, where are you stationed? I don't have an answer. I don't have an answer. I want to get out
in front of it. If we ever have the opportunity to interview him or have a sit down with him,
I want to get out in front of it and be like, you broke my brain by asking me where am I stationed
and I need to know what did you mean by that? Yeah. And then, yeah, that's a great question.
And then give me, and then I'll answer the question if once he breaks it down a little bit
further. Cause as it stands right now, I have no idea where I'm stationed. Do you guys think
you'll get him on? Eventually we've had him on our show. No big deal. Oh yeah. I remember that through
a call, right? Yeah. I think so. Yeah. Yeah. We've gotten pretty tight with his inner circle. So
like he's just got guys who are always around him. Right. And we're, that's how we got like the,
the Pebble Beach thing that you're talking about PFT. That is how that happened. Right. The guys
around him know that we're like not psychopaths. I mean, we love Tiger. We've loved him forever.
So there is that side of it, but like we're not going to be crazy weirdos to him.
Right. I mean, he could argue on the other side of that. But we're regular weirdos with him.
So they, they trust us to a degree. So I think hopefully at some point in the future,
we'll get some sort of interview with him. That'd be awesome. I think most people would
turn into like a little bit of a weirdo meeting Tiger Woods. He's, there's a class of, I mean,
you guys know it because you've interviewed a bunch of people and it's same with us. Like
you get a little numb to it and then you'll have like a step up interview where it's like,
Oh, fuck. It's this person. Yeah. Like when we interviewed like Adam Sandler and KG was like,
Whoa, this is like a totally different, you know, you get the nerves. Yeah. You get the nerves for
it. And Tiger's a little bit of a weirdo. Yo, like, so wait a little. So we had like, no, I know,
I know, but like having that energy with the, with my nervousness energy is like, it'd be,
it's interesting. I think that would be a good mix though. I think, I actually think you guys
would calm them down a little bit. I think, I think Tiger would come out of a shell a little
bit if he was. I would hope so. We would love that. When at Pebble Beach, I actually was,
it was the first time I was ever lost for words. Like I always heard that term and I was like,
that's impossible. You can always say something. I actually tried to say something and I couldn't
get the word out. We were talking about the basketball game. I think the Lakers were playing
and I was going to say, who do you like tonight? And it actually like was very mousy. I couldn't
get it out. Who do you? And then he, I grabbed it from me. I grabbed it from me. I was like,
who do you like tonight? Pissing himself in the corner. You guys should have just been like,
you check out the fucking bombs on that. I love you guys. We're a bikini interview. He'll be,
he'll be right at home. Please just bring like, bring some playmates with you. We brought this
gift for you, Tiger. All right, let's do Mount Rushmore. Let's do Mount Rushmore. We're going
to do the Mount Rushmore of worst golf guys. So open ended. You guys are our guests. So you decide
the order. So it's going to be team Frankie and Trent together, Hank, Bubba and Jake and the
me and PFT. You guys decide your snake draft. Okay. Okay. Um, how do you want, what do you think?
It's tough. It's real tough. Don't overthink it. Where do you guys want to be stationed? Yeah.
Let's go. Let's go second. Okay. Who do you want to go first? I want PFT to go first. All right.
It's us. It's us. I want you guys to go first. Shut the second. You guys started and then wait.
Yeah. Okay. All right. We'll go first. Okay. So our most annoying golf guy, I think we go with
that one that you wrote me back about PFT that I said to you because I think that will get taken.
No, I, it's my pick. So you're wrong, Hank. Yeah. Okay. You're wrong. You're being a piece of
shit. Um, do you guys have a producer that's like so annoying that went upstairs and is now in the
C-suite? I think he's better than everyone. Yep. Oh, okay. Good. Cool. So you can relate to how
annoying Hank is. All right. One of the most annoying guys on the golf course is the guy that,
thinks that like the cart girl's into him and it's like always hitting like very uncomfortable
like while you're sitting there where the cart girl comes up hitting on her like asking her
questions. Trying to be funny. Yeah. Trying to be funny. And then you get back in your carts and
he's like, yeah, she totally wants to fuck me. It's Tiger Woods. It's Tiger Woods. It's usually
the guy who it's the only woman that person gets to talk to that's not their wife during the course
of a week. And so they've had a couple beers. She has more beers. And so then it's just like open
season. Yeah. And he just like lets all this pin up sexual frustration out on this poor cart girl
who's going to be polite to you because she wants your tip. And, you know, she wants to keep serving
you serving your beers for the rest of the round. And he thinks, yeah, he thinks that like being on
a golf course is like international waters where you can just say whatever. It's like, dude, stop.
Like this is uncomfortable. Just get your fucking, you know, beer and let's keep going. She's not
into you. She pours the beer. He's like, I actually had a guy do this one time. She pours the beer
and he's like, wow, that's a lot of head. Yeah. I was like, I'm walking back to my car. Yeah.
It's the same guy for worse. Same guy. My dad. Yeah. Yeah. Like this girl is super into me. Yeah.
It's like, well, you're giving her a lot of money. And it's like kind of why we're here. Or he'll
be like, when the cargo comes up, you like dibs. You're like, come on, dude, what the fuck are
you doing? I call dibs on hole one. Oh, yeah, I would be all up in that. Yeah. So dude, you're
70. Tips are, yeah, tips are a little too much. Like, oh, she'll come back to us. And then the move
is they'll let the car girl like swing, swing the club. Oh, that's what you want. That would make
me fucking hit one. Oh my God. I've thankfully never been around. Oh, it's a word. I would
fucking lose it. It's bad. Okay. That's a good one. Your first pick. I think we go number two
there. Yeah. Okay. Also, we should just say you can't pick rigs. Okay. Thank you. No, no, no.
I know that was everyone's first pick. We're going with the golf tips guy,
a guy who always wants to give out a tip. There's nothing worse than when you're playing golf,
you're not on the range, you're trying, you spend money to go play. And then you have someone right
there on the first to be like, you know, I saw your swing, I think you're taking a little bit too
much on the inside. Like, dude, you suck too. I suck. You suck. We all suck. I don't need your
tip. You can't even hit the golf. Yeah. And there's a way to do it. There's a way to do it. I've been
on the golf course where someone will say like, Hey, can I give you a tip? I'm like, yes, please.
Yes, you can consent to the tip. Yes, but the person who gives unsolicited tips all around
that drives. That's the worst to be around. I had it happen. And we just got back from Scotland.
We're playing one of the all time golf courses I'm ever going to play on the driver. And I got a
driving lesson from a guy that was like changed my whole swing. And now all of a sudden I step to
the first. Yeah, I didn't even know who I was anymore. Yeah, I was playing. Yeah, classic.
Leading up tips and ruin my day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that that yeah. Fuck. Yeah, the bottom line is to
take the lesson. I like you have to take the lesson. It's like you can't just get away from me
because then you become like another bad golf guy where it's like you're just an asshole. No, it's
it's a very simple. Can I give you a lesson? Yeah, just like I see you're doing this. Like,
why don't you take it more from me? It's like takes videos and me show me now. Yeah, that's
stupid. It's like what are we doing? No, it's it's the simple. Can I give you a quick tip?
And if you say yes or no, like you can say no. I'm good. Yeah. Yeah. But then you're an asshole.
And then you like shank the first one. He's like, why don't you take the tip? Yeah, you get the version
of it. What was it? You're catty. Oh, you get online trend. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. I mean, we. Oh,
yeah. With what with our jobs, like we have the most videoed swings in the world. And then I'm
trying to do the series where I'm trying to break on it. I'm trying to break 90. I don't even look
at my DMs anymore. Well, but I heard that every four play listener shoots under par.
That's true. That's what I've heard as well. It's bad. It's really bad. And they'll trick me too.
They've figured out because I've said this publicly that like I'm not listening to anybody
except my swing coach, John Tillery. If you're trying to DM me tips and all that stuff, like I
don't want them. So they'll now they'll start the DM being like, love the series. Love you guys.
And then they're, by the way, you fucking suck at putting like, figure it out. It's like,
all right, man. The thing about golf tips too, especially when you're reading them is they never
make any sense, at least to me as like a layperson. It's always somebody's like, oh, your hands are
releasing a little bit too early. You need to bring the elbow inside and have it clear your hips
before they follow through. Yeah. I'm like, none of that makes any sense to anybody except for the
person writing. You haven't fired up your glutes enough and your hips aren't activating yourself.
What is this all this shit? Right. Like I'm bad in bunkers and people will tell me,
just act like there's a dollar bill under. I'm like, what does that mean? Yeah. No,
that's actually a good tip. You should do that. Hank, your team has the next two.
Yes. I have one similar to their first one, but I'll save that for the second. Our first pick is
the guy who has a couple of bad holes and becomes a total asshole and just like ruins the mood.
Like he just has a couple. We said, don't pick ricks. No, not not not ricks, but like this happens
all the time. People take it a little bit too seriously. And then all of a sudden they're just
not talking. They're not cracking jokes. They're literally just like hit, get in the cart,
don't say anything, drive up. And then God forbid they have another bad shot. And then it's just
awkward. It's like, what am I doing out here? I think the correct move is like, once you start
fucking up, you should talk more. Like get it out of your system. Just be open with how badly
you're playing. It is true. The energy vampires of a golf course. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Good pick.
And then my second one, this happened to me the other day. So I play a lot of like random fill
golf games, like at Skywakes, like I don't have I just go out there by myself and get
paired up with whoever's out there. And it was just me and one other guy. And he started asking me
for tips after every single shot. So like the guy that's like asking, I was like, I'm not a good
golfer. I don't, I don't know what I'm doing. And he's like, what'd you see there? Like, what'd you
see there? What'd you see there? What'd you see there? Because I think I had like, he's like,
oh, barcel golf, like I had the barcel golf bag. And he was like, Oh, like, you know,
you play a lot of golf. I was like, not really. Yeah. And he just kept asking me for
swing tips. So the guy who asked like, over asked for tips when you don't want to give them. Yeah.
Do you ever make them up? I was literally just like, yeah, you know, what the people tell me is
like, put your, you know, put the ball on your front foot and like, I don't know what I'm saying.
I say this shit that people DM me that I don't even know what they're saying. Like,
similar to what you said. Going out there and getting paired up with strangers,
the fact that you do that on a regular basis, I find to be incredibly brave. Yeah. Yeah. That's
like, I get incredibly nervous and anxious about that. Yeah. Because you don't know what you're
going to get. And I suck. And it's like, I know everybody sucks, but you never know what you're
going to get. So that's, I find that to be incredible. My dad does it all the time. He
brings like all of my clothes and like, we'll hand it out to like, if it's a person that's a
medium or a large from my closet, he goes out there and he's like, you ever hear a barcel
golf? And they're like, no, he's like, here's a, here's a quarter zip. That's amazing. Yeah.
Where are all my clothes? He loves it. If you know Frankie's dad, he's probably the most proud
father in the world. He gives away one of your medium shirts. He probably cries.
You can just be like, Frank, he's doing a great job. And he'll start crying.
Yeah. If he's listening to this right now, he's crying. Yeah. So
all right, you're guys next pick. Which one do you want to go with?
I think, I think we, I think you got to go with that one of those two.
Let's do, let's do that one. Okay. It's the strict rule follower. Ah, we had that. Yep.
Tiger Woods today in a fucking divot. If you're making me hit out of a divot,
go home. I don't want to play with you. If I'm just a foot on the outside of the white
steak and you're making me take a penalty stroke, I fucking hate you. If I hit a ball
out of bounds and I didn't realize it was out of bounds and you make me walk back to the fucking
T to hit my third shot because that's what the USGA says. I don't ever want to see you ever again
in the rest of my life. So we like to abide by the rules of golf in certain situations. If we're
playing like a legit match and there's a lot of money on the line or something, fine, I'll play
all the rules you want me to play. Time and place. If I'm out there with my buddies and I
have a guy out there that's just telling me like all the rules of golf, oh, you can't walk there,
you can't put the, it just doesn't make it fun. Yeah. A ball is like an inch in front of the
T marker. It's like, Hey, you want to back that up a little bit? What are we trying to accomplish
here? Are we trying to become a professional mini golf tournament? Oh, I did. Hey, that was time
and place. That was time and place. I'm actually more of a stickler for rules of mini golf than I
am on the actual. It was like a little bit before the T box. He's like, what are we doing here?
Yeah. Well, that was time and place. It was a lot of money on the line. I was trying to win that
thing. But no, it's just it ruins the day. And I always say to myself, like, what are we trying
to accomplish out here? We're trying to become professional golfers, or we just trying to get
this ball in the hole, me moving this ball an inch out of the div. It's not going to affect my game
agreed today, where it's going to make a big difference in any of our lives. Right. Let me
have a fun time. He's actually rooting for you to have a worse time. Right. And if you're not
playing for anything, you're just playing like, what the fuck do you care? Also, there should
just be like buddies rules, even if you are playing for something where everyone just agrees. Yes.
If it's a divot, you roll it out or like, yeah, yeah. Okay. I thought of another one from that.
Or just like, do whatever you want on the course. Yeah. And if you're trying to claim like a real
score and like, you know, you're shooting in the 70s or whatever, then yeah, don't like,
take your ball out of the rough and throw it on to the great. But yes, please give me the opportunity
to cheat as much as I can because I'm not like actively trying to beat you. Yes. Right. Yes.
All right. So for number two, I'm going to go with the guy that wears spikes as a spectator.
So the guy that's like walking the course and he's got his golf shoes on. Yeah. Hank gave a
shrug like, well, we've done this. We've done. Oh, you guys have. I was going to say, I was talking
to my grandfather actually recently, I guess he used to cover golf like way back in the day when
he was in college. And he was like, one time I wore shitty shoes. And then one of the other
like older professionals was like, you're on a golf course, like you should wear golf shoes.
And he was like that. He was like, I had, it was brutal. And then I started wearing golf shoes
as much better to walk around and cover the sport. We wear them because first of all,
like G four shoes are incredibly comfortable. They're basically sneakers. They're just like
that. They don't have spikes in them. They're just the other types of God molded molded.
Like someone's like, you wouldn't wear ice skates to go cover hockey, but it's like, you're also
not on the ice when you're covering hockey. You're literally shitting on it.
Well, we're just going to wear self defense mode. We're going to defend ourselves.
Well, also when they wear gloves to tournaments too. Well, that's crazy.
Who wears a glove to a tournament? I actually have once. I thought it was, I was like,
a golf club. Yeah. What if they asked me to take a shot? Right. You want to be prepared.
He was wearing as a joke, but you know, but fucking like if it rains the night before,
the guys are obviously, the players are going to be wearing golf shoes. And then if we're out
there walking the course with them, if you guys are talking about spectators behind the
aren't they wearing the spikes because they're, they're swinging. And so they're like,
energy is being transferred or they need a little traction. I don't think it's because
like they're walking across the fairway. No, but like they're, you're just walking a hilly grassy
golf course that that meant that was a great point. That was such a good point. Yeah. Like
we're not really swinging out there. We're just grabbing beers and eating hot dogs.
But I just think it's a traction thing. You don't want to be the guy that's falling
around on these hills and it's like slippery and it's bent grass. It sounds really,
you guys are talking about in between the ropes. You guys are in between the ropes.
We're talking about spectators. Like you're just walking, you're standing in the gallery.
We weren't spikes. What about, what about caddies? Do caddies always wear spikes?
Yeah. Yeah. That always sense. Yeah. All right. Our next pick, this one, actually I'm shocked
to got this far, but just slow play guy. Yeah. The slow play guy is the worst. Takes forever
on every shot. Million practice swings has to like, you know, slow play guy usually is like
reading the yardage and shit. Rain finder. Yeah. I mean, if you're stuck, if you're playing with
one of those guys, it just completely gets you out of your entire rhythm and everything sucks.
Just becomes a different sport when you're with someone like that. It's like more serious and
you're like, what are we actually doing out here? Why are you, you know, you know what that guy does?
He reads the putt from behind and then walks around because he's seen it on TV. Are you serious?
He doesn't even know what he's doing. He doesn't know how to read it. Yeah. They do the thing
where they hold the putter up too and they see the lines. You don't know any of these things.
You just read it in a golf digest magazine. Yeah. The worst feeling is when they take those first
two steps and you're like, oh, they're going to walk all the way around. Yeah. And then you're
like, now I've got 30 seconds where I'm just going to be watching this guy. And they miss the putt
and it's like slapping their hands and like pointing. Oh, it went right. Yeah. Max Homa does
that because he actually hit it where he wanted to. Right. And didn't know that the putt was going
to go there. You're doing it because you suck. That's a slow play. And a guy with like a Nomar
Garcia Parra pre-shot routine is like, let's just come on. Swings. Yeah. And it's like, you could
deal with it for a few holes, but then when you get to the back nine, you're like, we've just been
doing this all day. We've been here for five hours already. And then what happens to me, I don't
know if you guys are the same, but if I'm playing with someone really slow, I end up speeding up.
Yeah. Because I'm like, I just want to keep going. So he then fucks up. I mean,
my game can't be fucked up more than it already is. But if I were a decent golfer,
it would fuck me up even more because I'm like, you're playing slow. I'm going to play fast.
Yeah. Because then you have, like, there's no worse feeling than knowing you're with the slow
play guy. And then you have people lining up behind you. You could feel their breath on your neck.
Yeah. You could just feel it. You're like, we let him play through. And usually slow play guy
does not let him play through. Nope. And it's just the worst. I actually think it's worse though,
when when you're not, when the slow play guy is a group in front of you. Yeah. And then there's
people behind you and you want to be like, no, like it's not even us. It's actually that guy.
Yeah. Yeah. He leaves the cart in the middle of the fairway, runs and gets his ball. And all of a
sudden you're like, look at this fucking asshole. He's running back to his car. You start, you start
getting aggravated at the guy in front of you. The guy in front of you is ruining your day.
Slow play guy can ruin it. It can ruin basically the entire ecosystem of a golf course. Yeah.
For like the day. That's right. You're right. Hank, it's like everything is a traffic jam.
What was Frankie's example there? Because I'm afraid I might be that guy like you'd park your
cart in the middle of the fairway. Well, it's like there's certain like some guys will just have no
awareness on how to move the day along. So like they'll just leave the car and then like they'll
go with a couple of clubs and like move forward with a couple of swings. And then they have to come
back to run all the way back. Park that cart like on top of that's perfect. That's what you
should be doing. Move. Move. Keep going. All right. Good. All right. Next pick for you guys.
The other one. Yeah. Yeah. Country club elitist. Walking on eggshells type of guy.
Went to I went to a place pretty stuffy, really like nerve wracking type of place. Me and my
buddy, we introduced ourselves. I said, Hey, I'm Frankie. The guy goes, Hey, I'm Rob. And he goes,
you guys aren't members, are you? And I said, No, he goes, You know how I knew you didn't say
your last name to me? Oh, that's yeah. That's because they want to fire off your jeweler.
That's exactly what it was. They were gonna let you in. What are we doing here, man? We've been
to places and we've been lucky enough to play some of the best courses ever. And I love it. And
don't get me wrong. Like I'll never take it for granted. But sometimes it's too much where you're
like, I'd rather just be playing at my old municipal golf course, hop in the fence with my dad than
have to walk around this place, take the hat off when you sit down and there's a place on Long Island
where you can't walk into the clubhouse unless you're wearing a sport coat. So guys are walking
in low first shorts and sport coats and the clubhouse is three feet long. So you literally
wear the sport coat, walk through the clubhouse, take the sport coat off and then you have to go
get your golf shirt off. Do you think that like in 30 years, that will kind of be gone a little bit
because like that is very an old school thing that I think might be dying off. But I hope so.
You have douchebag kids that are following in the footsteps and they're worse than that.
Yeah, you're right. Yeah. There's always going to be rich people. Right. That's what I just
said. They're always going to want to feel rich. Yeah, you're right. Trent hates that more than I
do. You're fucking like, I'm fucking like, it feels weird going in those places. Yeah, because I
don't enjoy myself. I end up like, I don't want to do anything wrong, but I'm also like, I don't
think I'm actually doing anything wrong. You guys have created this system of rules that is so stupid
that I don't want to be here anymore. I'd rather just go play somewhere where I can just have fun.
They can smell the poor on you. Yeah, you know, yeah. Imagine the level of clean cut you have to be
to look at Frankie Burrell. He'd be like, that guy doesn't belong.
It's another level. Yeah. All right. Good pick. All right. Your last two picks, guys.
We're going to go with guy who takes a gimme putt on a putt that's not a gimme.
Oh, yeah. Good one. Also, the reverse of that guy is the worst too. It's an awkward thing,
especially if you're playing like a match and they just kind of pick it up and it's like,
ah, yeah. Yeah. This is friendly, but also like, right. I had honorable mention the reverse of
that guy who won't give any gimme putts. Like if you're two feet away, he's like, no, you got to
putt that out. You're like, are you serious right now? Yeah. That's an awkward gimme putt
police in general. Yeah. Either way or suck. I do like though every now and then just, I mean,
that's a good joke when you're like 40 feet away. You're like, it is good, right? Yeah.
Good good. That's just good golf humor. This is from Jake. I think this is extremely relatable
to Florida and I guess maybe country club golf, but the guy who drives too close to the greens
and gets the cart stuck. Oh, like I feel like that's only in like the nice the nice golf carts
that like actually have the GPS and then it'll shut down on you. You're only going reverse.
That's bad. I would actually say that that actual system is the worst part of golf going right now.
The GPS system that stops you when you get too close to the basket. Yeah. You can't go forward
anymore. So then you have to reverse back and going backwards in a car goes one mile an hour.
Yeah. You're always motherfuckering that thing. Now, Jake, how do you though like
you're a huge Trump guy and he does not. What? Oh, okay. That's the other guy. I actually love
when Trump drives on the green. Yeah. I think he should be allowed to drive on the greens. Yeah.
When he drives on the greens, I laugh every time. Yeah. He's the only person in the world that
shouldn't be allowed to do it. We played Trump Ferry Point. It's right over here by the by the
bridge and there's a sign there that says he made a hole in one on the first day it ever opened.
Yeah. Yeah. It was the wind, right? The wind was like it had the wind. He didn't even play the
Superwind down. The truth is he didn't even play the hole. I think he only played nine holes. That's
like the 12th hole. Yeah. Yeah. We came back. He goes, it was an amazing shot. We actually,
we talked to Michael Cohen about that. We asked him that question. He's like,
he's got a lot of holes in one that nobody ever saw. Yeah. The best part is he played with people
that are like, no, he didn't. Yeah. But the plaque stands forever. That's not a lie. The plaque
stands forever. Yeah. There's a plaque there. Once it's a plaque, it's it's fact. So they actually
it's got your name on it. You can say whatever you want. The plaque was in the ground and I think
people were pissing on it. So they moved it to a post. Geez. It's crazy. They said it was smelling
like piss. That's hilarious. Oh, you know who a great golf guy is? The guy that pisses outdoors on
the first hole. Yeah. Like right off the bat. It's like, it's like, I'm not even a beer deep yet.
And you know what? Nature's calling. Gotta take a leak in the woods. Yeah. Okay. Your guys last pick.
Good pick and team Hank. Yeah, that's a good one. Jake, were you close to the green when you drove
the golf cart off that bridge? No, I can show the picture, but I almost died in like seventh grade.
I was driving at a charity golf tournament. I was looking drove it off a bridge flipped it over.
I was stuck underwater for like a minute. And who saved you? What? That's like succession. And Jake,
who saved you? Trump, a guy at the charity golf tournament. I was driving alongside a former
MLB pitcher because it was a celebrity charity golf tournament that my dad was helping run.
And I was 13 years old and I was trapped under. It was crazy. Yeah. Ted, Kenny, we've been like
scroll to the bottom of my Instagram. Let's go to the party. Who is it? What picture? What is
his Instagram plug? No, my Instagram. Yeah. Like, no, but what can you just tell us? What? No,
the picture I'm saying. No, but who was the Major League Baseball? Oh, Chris Hammond. Yeah,
former pitcher. What I'm saying, if you go to the bottom of my Instagram is the picture. Nice.
That's crazy. That's a little treasure, treasure hunt. Yeah. This TV is really hard to watch golf.
Yeah. It's a white dot in the middle. We've already been fucked up a few times. I was
looking at that. I was like, what's going on? Why is that ball moving so fast? Like this
camera man is incredible, keeping it directly in the center of the shot all the time. I once
hit my cousin going full speed in a golf cart. Like it was like a game of chicken where I was
like, oh, he's going to move. He just did not move. Probably good thing. And it was like,
it was like a family outing and like my aunts and my mom came like sprinting around the corner.
Like he was like dead. Like he was fine, but it was dude. Remember your history,
your history with golf. Sorry. Dave was really that was one of my honorable mentions. Guys who
don't think it's funny to hit each other with golf. Remember how bad that got with rigs and
and Dave was like, I want you guys to be like posting the stuff and you guys were like, we're
not very upset. Oh, yeah. Those videos were funny though. They were so funny. I don't think it's
though that nobody actually like killed each other. I agree with both sides. Yeah. Right. Exactly.
Like, I don't think it's, I don't think it's, you shouldn't hit your friends with a golf cart,
but every time I saw the video, I laughed every single time. Wasn't there a bounty on rigs?
Five or 10 grand. It was like $10,000.
To the point where they're like actually running over people.
Well, I can't golf anymore. I keep hearing a cart and I look over my shoulder. I think,
I think Rick said that he, if someone hit him with a card, he would actually shoot them.
Yeah. All right. Your guys last pick.
Yeah. It's the one we want to go with. Yeah. Handicap police. Oh, yeah. Very specific.
And more specific to Frankie and rigs because they're genuinely pretty good golfers. So the
handicap is low. And then when you put your swing in your game on the internet and they see a couple
of bad shots, people are like, you're not actually a seven or an eight. You're actually a 15. It's
the worst. I was going insane if I were you guys. Dude, it's actually bad. We can't post a video
with everyone being like, this guy says he's an eight. It's like, well, I'm actually just doing
what the handicap system does. So the handicap system is you put it in. You just input all your
scores. You basically put your scorecard in the app and it just delivers you a number. You're an
8.9. You're a 9.2. And everyone thinks that like if you're a nine, if you're a nine or a 10 that
you shoot an 82 every time because that's over par. But that's not how the handicap system works.
The handicap number is it's your best possible round over your last 20. So it's like saying,
if you play the best ever today, you'd shoot an 82. But that also means you could shoot 95.
Right. Or you could shoot a 79. It's cool. So everyone just doesn't understand that.
It might just be the most complicated system in the history of the world.
It's complicated, yeah. It is. But like, it's the only thing we get. Like, you're not a nine,
you're an actually an 18. I'm talking every single person. And it's just like,
I would go insane. The handicap police is just a fucking worse. And then when you finally have a
good round, you like want to call to them. Like, you see this one? Did you fucking count every shot
here? Yeah, they're also just there's internet forums that are like dedicated to people that are
in charge of like looking up potential like handicap misuse by people. It becomes like a
true detective thing. And they do the same thing in like distance running, where you'll have like
these forums that are like tracking people's GPS is looking at their times. Same way in golf. It's
like, okay, I figured out this person's been lying about their handicap. And they feel like
they get a little feather in their cap for that. Yeah, you guys should figure out like,
be great if we could figure out a way like the barstool, maybe the comment section where like
on specifically on your posts, like if someone wants to critique your swing, it like has a
gift of their swing. Well, I wanted to do set a barstool classic. This has been my dream is when
they sign up, I'm probably giving it away now, when they sign up, we ask them for their Twitter
and Instagram handle. And just say like, Oh, we just want to do something for social. And then
I'm sitting on a T box with everyone. And I type in my name and anything if I find a guy that's
talk shit about me, I bring it out right before he hits. And I say like, let's see it now. Yes.
And then we just say it's just like a roast of all these guys that have just been talking
shit about us forever. I think we're gonna do it. It will it will like curb people critiquing
everything if their golf swing. 100%. Right. Oh, yes, I love that. It's a good idea. Okay, our last
pick. Okay, our last pick for annoying golf guys. Yeah, I think we go with the one that I got one
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. He's an annoying golf. He is annoying. He's taken
he's just ruined the game of golf for everybody really. He's probably the most annoying golf guy.
And if he hears me say this, he's probably saw my arms off. Yes. So gotta be. What are your thoughts
on I know I agree with you guys. I don't like them. I think everything's I think the whole
thing's weird. But I also are you going to cover the live tour like it's like what are you going
to do? I don't know what you can do if it starts to become a real thing. Right. Even Rory McRoy
who is the prince of the PGA tour came out last week and was like, Listen, at this point, if it's
helping golf, like it's just helping off. I was going to help the PGA force them to have to adapt,
which would be good. But also you can say that the guy that that murders people is bad.
He's the two things came back off guy. Yeah, bad golf guy. Yeah,
Phil Mickelson accomplished what he wanted to accomplish. He made the PGA what paid off his
debts. All right, that was definitely what he wanted to accomplish. Yeah, that's 100%. He had
like a list of commandments that he wanted from the fucking PGA tour and now they're just checking
off the list. They're giving more money on the program was the perfect example of that. They're
just trying to pay the higher ranked guys. And like you do see it where the PGA tour and all
these majors like, Oh, they just happened to find more money. Now the purses are bigger. Like that
was part of Phil's point was like, we want more money. We know you guys have more money,
but you were holding it for yourselves. And now that live is offering, you know, a billion dollars
of tournament, the PGA tour to try to fight that is like, Oh no, we can roll up our purses a little
bit. So it did to a degree, Phil Mickelson, what he did worked. He just had to completely torpedo
his entire reputation. Yeah. If I was on the tour right now, I would definitely my, my investment
habits, my spinning habits would be way more reckless knowing that in my back pocket, I've
always got to live tour. Yeah. I can don't write me a check one day if push comes to shove. Yeah.
She's someone screamed to Phil today at the open something about live and he's like, well,
you just drop it. I'm loving life right now. Like my life is great. Yeah. That's yeah, it is. That
is the life. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Any honorable mentions? This was a great Mount Rushmore.
Um, Jeff Shackleford worst guy in golf. Yep. That's a good one. I've got a dude perfect. Yeah.
Specifically in a men's corner. They defiled Augusta along those same lines. I had that guy
that you golf with sometimes that wears a silly hat and takes steroids. That guy, you know that
guy? Yeah, I think I know that guy. I'm familiar with that guy. Excuse maker. Like there's always
something that was wrong with the putt wind blue on that one or, or there was a divot or something.
Like, I mean, there's always a guy that like he didn't do the wrong thing. It was everything
else. We're all bad. So if you can just admit that you're bad, it makes things a lot easier.
Right. It's not the wind. It's not the break of the green. It's none of that. It's just like,
you're just, we're all pretty bad at this thing. It's a hard sport. Okay. Similar to the
gimme guys, the guy that was given like right down the wrong score. Yeah. Yeah. That's a five.
It's like, I had that. Yeah. The air counter was like that. I hate. I wanted to do that, but
Trent's like, how do you see me? I used to veto on that one because I am that guy sometimes.
Really? Yeah, sometimes they do it. And I'm, the better you get, the less you do it. But like
when you're, when I was really, really bad, I would be on like shot nine and I'd be like,
I got to go through this again because there's been so many. Yeah. So that guy, I vetoed that one
for ours. Yeah. I just want to say before you guys leave, I love your golf tans. You guys have
incredible, look at, look at those four arms compared to the top of the orange. That's incredible.
Those are great. I have a really bad one on my head too. Like it's just right here. Like if you
see me in like a knot with all the bright lights, it just goes right across and everything's just
white up here. It's really bad. All right. My last one was a guy who won't play rigs in a one on
one challenge because he thinks he can be a pro golfer someday. Shout out Whitney.
Oh my God. It's so good. That was the best saga ever. Ever. I'm going to lose my status.
He was also at a movie with his kid and he left the movie.
Dude, and then his kid was crying in the backseat. Sorry. He's like, now my kid's crying. You're
making me curious in front of my child. He's a fucking man. Nobody took to getting the whole guy.
I like getting the whole guy. Maybe not at a golf like event, but I like getting the whole guy
like because it's like you're cheering on your friends. Unless it's obviously your shot. That's
what I meant. Like at the, like golf tournament. Mash potatoes, they say. Yeah. Getting the hole in
a part five. Blink of the year. There's another like, there's one that is very specific to actually
playing with people and it's when you hit a bad shot and everyone says it's a good shot. Oh no.
Like when you hit a drive and everyone's like, oh, good one. And like it's starting to leak way
left and way off. Now all of a sudden it's out of bounds. It's like, well, like we don't have to
sugarcoat how bad of a shot that what if you're putting a lot too. Like if you miss a putt,
it's like no role. Actually it wasn't at all. And like sometimes you want to be a dick and be like,
no, it wasn't. Wait, but so do you, do you not like I said, I said all the time with randoms though.
I'm like the king of being like, oh, nice role. Like I'm trying to be like friendly. Like it's
awkward. Like I don't do it with my friends, but like if I'm with randoms, I'm like, oh,
like nice role. That guy under his breath is like, no, it wasn't a fucking good shit. No,
yeah. What about, but I say like, you're going to love that to pretty much every shot. Yeah.
Is that okay? It depends on like that guy, if he's continuously hitting bad shots and you keep
saying you're going to love that, he's like, I don't love any of these. Yeah. But it's funny when
you like completely like completely slice one in the woods. You're like, oh, you're going to love
it. I like to try to accomplish something else there. I like I'm definitely on the list of
bad golf. Like Hank and I, when we were out in Vegas, there was one guy who hit it in the sand
and he was like playing through and he came up. I was like, yeah, you're in the sand right here.
He could see that he was in the sand. He was in the inside. He knew he was in the sand.
Great putter though. Yeah. I was putting well that day. All right. Thank you boys.
Subscribe before play. They'll have a recap of the open, sad about Tiger. What's a cut going to be?

Okay. We'll wrap up this week with Firefest of the week. By the way, on Monday, the return of
Billy Football with the Mount Rushmore, he will be back in the fold. So get excited for that if
you're a Billy fan and if you're not tough shit, he's back. He's back. Yeah, you can just not listen
to the end of the show then. Yeah, that's fine. But also listen to the end of the show still,
please. Hank, you're Firefest. My Firefest is that I am just a world-class procrastinator. It's
really just my life as a Firefest. My brain is a Firefest. You're a professional procrastinator.
Yes. I'm moving Monday. I haven't packed a single thing. And I've had like this whole week. Like
this whole week, I was like, all right, I'm going to slowly get my shit together, pack it all up.
I have the time. And then I've just gone home every night this week and played video games.
It's impossible to pack when it's more than like two and a half days out.
Yeah. Yeah. And in your defense, moving sucks. Yeah. Yeah. I don't like everybody procrastinates
to a certain point when it comes to moving because there's nothing fun about the moving process.
And the worst part about what you're about to go through, Hank, is like when you finally
mentally get to a point where it's like, all right, time to pack and you tell yourself,
oh, this isn't that bad. And then you get into it and you're like, oh, this is
like a lot of, like, because there's so many little things that you forget about moving that
you just like, oh, no, all I got to do is get my, you know, my plates and my bed and I'm good.
No, no, there's so much more. You got to put the getting new stuff, cancelling.
Yeah. Changing addresses. The worst, I think, is the kitchen part where you have to put like the
pieces of paper between all the plates so they don't break. Oh, you did? I did that last time.
Really? Last year. Yeah. Damn. Okay. No grown up for you. Why don't you just hire a mover?
I have to do that too. I was, I've been talking like I was talking to a moving company last week
and they're like, oh yeah, that should be fine. We'll give you a call back. And then in my head,
I was like, boom, locked in. And then I was driving back from the Hamptons. I was like,
I never heard back. And then I realized like, I still need to get a moving company. So yeah.
And that's all like, it's all, these are things that I've had more than enough time. Like it's not,
it's not like, uh, this is something that's snuck up on me. It's just almost that I had too much
time. Yeah. That actually, it's, it's, it's time's fault for giving you too much. Again,
it's my brain, you know, just my, my crush, professional procrastinating.
Yeah. What do you think is the perfect amount of time for you to know that you have to move in?
Five days. Five days. Yeah. Cause then it's like five days.
We could move. What's make moves. You do a little stuff here and there.
Cause I, yeah, like this was like, I had technically, I had two weeks. Obviously last
week I wasn't here, but I was like, yeah. Here's an idea. I have all next week. And then this week,
it was like, well, you're fucked. What if, what if they made an invention that was just called
like the apartment bag where you could put everything in your apartment to one giant bag
and then slide that out the door and then on four wheels. Yeah. But maybe not in four wheels.
Maybe just like, yeah, maybe it's got something on the bottom, but just a bag that you can throw
everything into and then just pull it into your new apartment. Hank, I'm confused. You're moving,
but it's not the end of the month. Yeah. That's a whole, that's a whole another story,
firefest that I'm not even going to get into, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what happened.
You got a couple of places though. Yeah. Yeah. Right now I've got two spots. Yeah.
Wait. Hank, doesn't that mean that you have 15 more days to move all your stuff out? Yeah.
I got to be out Monday. Are you sure? I'm extremely sure. What'd they do?
They were like, you have to be out Monday. And I was like, what? Did you pay for the full month?
No. Okay. Yeah. That's probably why. That's definitely why. Okay.
All right. That's a good fire. I mean, moving is just the worst thing.
But like, why don't they say it to me on Friday? Whatever. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,
I've had issues with my building this entire time I've lived here and I'm happy to be out of there.
I'll put it that way. All right. All right. PFT, your firefest.
My firefest is I, I feel bad for the listeners because I fucked up. Billy. Oh, no.
That's Monday's firefest. I feel bad because I fucked up. And on Wednesday's show,
I did not say I love you guys. Oh, usually when that happens in real time.
Yeah. Kind of ended on such a high note that I was like, you didn't want to.
How did we end that show? You ended with the seal joke again. Oh, yeah. The callback.
Yeah. It's too perfect of a callback, but in my defense, I was very high and I forgot. So it's
not that I forgot that I loved you guys. It's that there was an imbalance between what my brain
was thinking and then the words that were coming out of my mouth. People forget. At one point,
I had to like call Bubba over and be like, Hey, Bubba, remember that thing that we talked about
because I couldn't even express the words to him of like what we talked about. But I just,
I forgot. It's not that I don't love you guys. I do love you guys. And whenever that happens,
I get that's probably the most like heads up that I get of anything that ever happens on the show.
There'll be like probably a hundred people that tell me, Hey, do you still love me?
Yeah. I don't think that you love me. So don't be so needy guys. Yeah. Well, no,
it's okay to be needy. Like we're expressing our emotions to you. We don't say it enough as men
and as women to each other. I love you guys and I can't blame Hank or Bubba for editing it out
and making a mistake. My mouth edited it out. My mouth did a bad job editing my brain. You stop,
you stop loving them. I didn't stop. I'm not for a fucking second. Well, it sounds like you did
because your brain was so high. You forgot to love them. No, not the case. I love you guys. Don't
ever forget it. I'm going to say it multiple times today. I love you guys. Okay. So mine is
about that episode as well. For the few the proud who heard us as chipmunks when they woke up on
Wednesday morning. That sucked. What sucked even more was I think my this is like another sign that
I'm probably addicted to content too much. I woke up in at five in the morning just out of a dead
sleep, looked at my phone and saw like the first two tweets were like, Is this the minions episode
and why do you guys sound like chipmunks? And then I just didn't go back to sleep because we were
trying to fix it. And it's just like, why, why did my brain have to do that? Why did my brain
have to have like a subconscious alarm go off being like, Hey, something's wrong with the part of
my take upload? That's also maybe the funniest episode for it to happen to. We're all just like
stone at record. It was crazy. Because I was like, Oh, no, people are just listening at 4x or 2x
whatever you listen to. No, no, no, we literally sounded like chipmunks. Apologies. It was something
about the ad insertion. So it wasn't even us. It was upstairs. So actually it was us was Hank.
It was upstairs had something wrong. So it's not our fault. I heard somebody play a clip of the show
where it was the fast version, but slowed down to halftime. That was very funny because it didn't
even sound normal. It sounded sound like drunk drunk chipmunks. Yeah, but the whole idea of us
going out early for the mini golf tournament was we didn't have to wake up at five in the morning
to take a bus from Manhattan. And then I ended up waking up at five in the morning anyway.
So that was awesome. That's a baby alarm. Yeah, it fucked me up. That's not the baby. My kids
sleep well. It was the chipmunk alarm somehow went off my brain. Spidey sense. Yeah, it was just me
and big cat like in our boxers at five in the morning. I was trying to be like, why do we sound
like chipmunks right now? Yeah. And Liam had gone to sleep like an hour before because he was editing
the show. So he had one hour of sleep and I kept on. I would be like, Hey, can you re upload it?
And he's like, yeah, I got it. And then I'd go back to my room and then I'd come back
like three minutes later and he was back asleep because it was so it was fucking five in the
morning. But yeah, I was just standing in my boxers in his room being like, we got to figure
this out. The chipmunks have infiltrated us. You'll see other podcasters doing that. Just
remember that we care. We care maybe too much sometimes. All right, Jake, finish us off.
Yeah. So a few weeks ago, my firefest was that I left my sandwich a few holes prior. I had to go
back and get it. This time I remembered it. This happened last week when I was home in Florida.
But when I picked up the sandwich that I was bringing, I put it in a red ant pile. Oh, no,
I got only one bite somehow. But I have a picture of it. It was, they were like a dozen of them
on my grip. Bryson would have had a stroke. No way. What did you just wipe them off? I took water
and dumped on dumped it on and it was bad. I can't believe I only got one bite. Yeah. One bite.
One bite you, everybody knows the rules. Have you ever stood in an ant pile before? No. Because
sometimes when you stand in one, you don't realize that you're in one until you get that first bite
and you look down at your leg and it just fucking covered in fire ants. Yeah. And that will ruin your
day. Yeah. So I don't know what to do with my wedge these days. Yeah. Hopefully I can just
put it on the green and I'll take it out. Yeah, there you go. That's your fault for having to keep
using it. All right. I think I only one bite. I know. Crazy. I'll also never promise a six pack
during the summer ever again. Oh, that's weird. Hank, you're so close. Interesting. I never saw that
one coming. You're so close. I am. I'm getting there, but no, you're not. No, you're doing great,
sweetie. No, I am. Yeah, you are. I'm on the road there. I don't think you genetically can get a
six pack. Absolutely. I'm not everyone can get one. The problem is, Hank, this is your last year
to have a six pack. Yeah, it being weird. Yeah, but the winter time I can grind.
No, you're not going to get a six pack in the winter. Yeah. Yeah, winter time. I was going
hard May, June, and then just the summer. Golf took over. Why don't you do crunches every
every hole you get to 30 crunches in the T box? Why don't you just walk instead of taking a cart?
I do or incentive any three pot crunches. You're not going to do it. All right.
Numbers. I think you look great, Hank. Hank, you ever gotten this before? Wait, put that back.
Oh, you just said it out loud. Spoiler. No.
Okay, I'm going to go with 44. Okay, I'm gonna go 88. I feel like if it doesn't come today,
it's coming soon. 26, 26, 27.
62. Oh, are we counting that? It's a wedgie. No, that counts. That's out. It's a wedgie. It is a
wedgie. It's out, but it's out. It's out. It's out. There we go. 62. It's official.
All right. Love you guys. Otters are necrophiliacs.
Up to say, I say, did he wait? Today is not the day to find you. Shying away.
I'll be coming for your love, okay? Shying away.
I'll be coming for your love, okay? Take on me.
Take me on.
I'll be going.
Day after day.
Needless to say, I'm all set in. But I'm being stolen away.
Darling, my life is okay. Say after me.
It's no better to be safe than sorry. Say after me.
It's no better to be safe than sorry. Take on me.
Take me on.
I'll be gone on a day after day.
All the things that you say, yeah, isn't lightable.
Just to play my worries away.
You're all the things I've got to remember.
He's shying away. I'll be coming for you anyway.
He's shying away. I'll be coming for you anyway.
Take on me.
Take me on.
I'll be gone on a day.
I'll be gone on a day.
