Today is Monday, April 15th.

Tax day and Scotty Scheffler's got a lot of taxes to pay now, PFT. Next year.
Next year. Next year he will.
Scotty Scheffler is- I wouldn't want to win it. No, because what he's got- He's got to pay the taxes.
He probably clears $2 million after taxes. Yeah.
The rest is going to Ukraine. Congrats, Scotty.
You're a true ally. Scotty Scheffler is very happy today.
Max Homa is very hungover today. Yeah.
Because hasn't drank in a long time. He said afterwards, they asked him, Max, how are you going to feel tomorrow when you wake up and you think about this? He says, I haven't drank in a really, really long time, but I've been planning it for Sunday after the Masters, so I'm probably not going to feel great.
Yeah. So congrats to Scotty.
Scotty was dominant. He kicked everyone's ass.
He was never really close. He kicked the course's course's ass he kicked everyone's ass he wasn't playing particularly well at times but he was making crazy chip ends he was he was hitting the shot at nine i think is really when it was over when he hit that approach shot yeah three inches at no point did it feel close oberg looked like he oberg will win i'm calling my shot oberg's gonna win multiple major championships in his lifetime.
But Scotty was just too good. Oberg might have won this one if the guy didn't hit the power bar out of his hand.
Because he was rolling. And then the guy hit the power bar out of his hands and he double bogeyed.
But yeah, Scotty Scheffler, I think we were fooled this weekend. Because going into the Masters, it was like, Scotty Scheffler, lowest odds for anyone to win since Tiger.

He's playing the best golf out of anyone. It's not even close.
We were fooled with the wind basically bringing everyone back into a pack on Friday and Saturday. And we got into Sunday and we're like, look at this.
And there's four guys that are all within a couple strokes. And Scotty Scheffler might not be able to do this and uh turns out he can play his like p minus game and still win by four strokes and he's the best golfer in the world and it's not close he's still dominant yeah um and we haven't seen there was all that talk about his wife going to labor yeah he said before the final round that he would go to the hospital if she went to labor before he teed off he didn't it sounded earlier this week like he would have just left on sunday in the middle of the round but then he started thinking about he's like uh if if i tee off by the time i get to the course i start warming up if she hasn't gone to labor at that point then i'm going to stay on the course hasn't gone to labor yet some people are asking if this is a charlotte the stingray situation is she really pregnant griffin the third I want the baby to be happy, healthy.
It's a very beautiful time to have a baby. It's also a scary time.
I just want to say that if the baby doesn't, if the baby's born in May, we got to retroactively take away some of these. Scotty, what a great guy.
Yeah. He is a great guy.
But I'm going to retroactively have to take back a little bit of this stolen valor of him being like, oh, I would leave at any minute. Yeah.
But then all that means. So get that baby out.
All that means is he's going to have the kid and then he's definitely going to win the U.S. Open.
100%. With a new baby.
Are you kidding? That's going to be the picture. Him holding his new baby on the green of the 18th hole of the U.S.
Open wherever. Oh, it's Pinehurst, right? Yep.
It is Pinehurst. We played that.
We basically played a U.S. Open.
But yeah, this was... I feel

like everyone in this room was... And probably

everyone listening right now is so amped up

for a Sunday

at Augusta that we're like, this is

going to be great. It's going to be so

close. You know, big, big

shots. And by the turn,

it was, you know, Morikawa

had a mistake.

Oberg went into the water.

Max went into the bushes. And it was

Let's go. shots and by the turn it was you know morikawa had a mistake oberg went into the water max went into the bushes and it was scotty yeah the bush really fucked max on was that 12 i'm proud of that rose bush there i'm very proud of max max was one of the best golfers in the world this weekend on a very very hard weekend at augusta he played well there was just no stopping scotty on sunday there was no stopping scotty It was impossible.
I was texting with Max trying to pump him up, so I got caught into a superstitious loop. So Wednesday, after he came on on Tuesday, I just texted him, thank you, and I sent him some funny video, and he was like, that's great, and I was like, positive vibes.
And then he shot great on Thursday, so I was like, well, I got to send him another funny video. It just devolved.
The weekend devolved into me sending Max Homa Fat Max videos saying, don't be Fat Max, be Max Homa over and over. And so it was like Max doing the parade with the Sixers.
It was Max just completely duffing a tee shot. So that was, I was hoping.
So he was trying to focus for a Sunday at the Masters, you had him thinking about Max. Well, no, I sent it to him on Saturday night.
It was superstitious that I was like, I sent you a video. He's like, yes, you got to send another one.
That's crazy. What? He's thinking about Max.
And then he happens. Then he happens.
Yeah, but we're going to sleep visualizing. He told me that it was good superstition that I made him laugh with a Max video.
He's like, you got to keep sending him. I was like, I'm going to keep sending him.
I sent him on after. So it would be like, I sent one on Friday at like 7 p.m.
On Saturday at like 6.30. Like he was done.
I'm just saying no one should be thinking about Max. Well, listen, until today, it was working.
He was literally like, I'm going to be Max Homa. I'm not going to be Fat Max.
We had a thing. It felt like it was working.
And then he shot his tee shot on 12 into the soul patch of Augusta. Yeah.
And it was all over. And it was all over.
I got caught in a superstitious loop. You don't get caught in a superstitious loop.
No, that's fair. That's fair.
It did feel like Max had the positive vibes going. And he shot great on Thursday.
And with the wind on Friday and Saturday, everyone's like's like oh he just keeps getting parts like everyone's getting yeah par was great par was great on saturday and we were we were so frustrated because we were watching we just wanted him to make one single birdie just like get a birdie start climbing up but all the pars were good he was stacking pars i think i said it was a par fest yeah when party was right there in front of me but that's all he was doing antonio brown yeah clantonio brown myself that's all he's doing just par he was steady he was steady and then he was steady on sunday too but he needed to be a little bit better than it felt like the whole world was rooting for him too homosexuals were trending for i think all weekend long yeah on saturday you could see the fear in some of those players eyes when max was up there they were homophobic yeah they were but uh batgirl were you are you i mean if think about it this way if max home might end up winning the masters you would have been uh mentioned like maybe like a hundredth in the thank yous no yeah that that would have been great but yeah i i do think it's probably not great that the last one that you sent him was me whiffing a golf ball it was actually no that wasn't the last one the last one i sent him was uh you freaking out uh the phillies saying you look ridiculous so that's i thought i thought these were just topical ones no no you're just going into the bank yeah i was going in the bank i was saying like this is fat max don't be fat max it was a good it was good motivation for a while there yeah no i went i went deep in the bank i I was sending them all your lowlights, being like, we got two maxes in this world. We got this max and you.
You're going to win the Masters. That's kind of cool.
Yeah, right? It would have been cool. And he appreciated it.
It was, again, a superstitious loop. People do stupid things.
I've watched games from weird positions for the entirety of the game. Hank watched all the Super Bowls from the bathroom.
So you can't say a superstitious loop doesn't happen. No, I get it.
Yeah. How weird was it seeing Tiger play today with such a high, high score and not wearing the Nike shirt? Yeah.
It looked weird with him wearing the Tiger logo, right? We really needed him to score well today, too, because Charlie Woods was a swing coach. Yeah, I saw that.
And I was like, he's going to go low. And then we also, we'll talk to Scott Van Pelt about this, but Notegate has been going around the internet.
A reporter asked Neil Shipley. Mm-hmm.
JMU. JMU.
Neil Shipley, very funny looking guy. Why are they giving Ohio State all the credit? Well, because he's a grad transfer to Ohio State, but he graduated already.
Oh, yeah, he's JMU. JMU guy.
Yeah. PFT says that in everything I see of Neil Shipleyley it's like neil shipley there's a lot of state has a lot more fans i mean there's just a lot of people that go to ohio state a lot of front runners yeah so uh but neil shipley yeah he he couldn't have looked more uncomfortable in the butler cabin was very funny john rom also that guy he just wanted to get out of there so so bad how how messed up is it i mean i like the tradition because everything at augusta is about tradition it's about appearing as things were like 40 years ago and they have the the past winner put the green jacket on the the current champion and john rom's out there just like fuck this right because sometimes it will be you know uh someone will finally win it and they're just happy they want like when phil won it it's like he finally won one or bubble won a couple John Rahm and Scotty Scheffler are you would think for the next decade gonna go head to head in everything and he just won his second one and John Rahm also had the comments about Liv how he's probably not the happiest and he's got to sit there like looking at his watch being like I could have been on my private jet three hours ago yeah the great finished way way way, way longer.
We did the mini golf thing this week, and you realize when you're 10 strokes back, but you have to play a whole round, you're like, this sucks. I don't even want, what's the point of playing this? Right.
Yeah, you just start fucking around. Him and Brooks had to do that all day.
Yeah. So it's, for a returning champion at Augusta, I think it's been like only two of the last 20 have even finished in the top 10.
Wow. So next year, bet on scotty scheffler which i still will but note gate back to note gate so neil shipley was asked afterwards he's like some reporter saw tiger woods pass him a note around the 14th to 16th uh hole which i guess would be illegal i don't know you can't write notes was this eighth grade i i assume tiger just passed him a note being like i'm so fucking horny right now yeah i haven't fucked in so long dude it looked like you wanted to fuck that tree that verna was behind yeah but but but neil shipley's like no there was no note passed uh and was kind of awkward about i think neil shipley just was he was thrust into this and he he was maybe looking a little awkward which i understand if you're sitting in the butler cabin next to these guys it's got to be a little intimidating but we got to figure out what note gate like if he had said hey hit this shot instead of this shot he's that would be illegal he's also not a uh like prospect that's guaranteed to go to the pga tour right he might never even play but he had that moment no i know and his caddy was like his friend right yeah his caddy was like 20 years old so awesome yeah it rocked so the the note that was allegedly sent neil neil shipley could have taken down tiger woods yeah he could have just ratted him out it would have been like he told me to hit six there told me he hit six so i guess you have to penalize him oh i guess i beat tiger today yeah it was probably just you had like drinks after yeah you seem like a cool guy let's party can you give me a ride home but yeah the the the verne lundquist tiger moment was great tiger looking like he was shaking the hands of a tree yeah seeing vern just like sitting next to a tree watching tiger putt with his big smile on his face i'm gonna miss vern i really am vern needs to do like a manning cast thing next year at the masters where it's just vern sitting in his living room maybe up in a tree stand somewhere yeah in the middle of nowhere just just with that big smile on his face verne i didn't realize this uh maybe i one of those things that you hear and then you just completely memory hole and forget but verne lundquist is mr steal your girl did you know this story he fucks no so here's the story this is from uh holly anderson reported on it uh this is from a story a couple years ago uh talking about verne lundquist and his third wife, who he's still married to.
We met in a bar and I have to add, it was an upscale bar in Dallas. It was at a place called Arthur's.
I walked in after I did the 10 o'clock news in Dallas and I just didn't want to go home. Nancy and her date were at the bar and her date recognized me from local television and invited me over to have a drink.
He introduced me to his date and her name was Nancy Miller. It was their first date, a blind date.
So we sat and chatted and her date, Raymond Willie, said to me, listen, I know you're single. I'm going to fix you up with a friend of mine and we can all go to dinner.
He looked at Nancy and let me see, they cut it weird. He looked at Nancy and asked her, what are you doing Thursday night? She said, nothing.
He said, good. You'll be my date and we'll fix Vern up with, with this school teacher friend of mine and we'll go to dinner.
Meanwhile, I'm looking at Nancy thinking she's the prettiest thing I've ever seen in my life. So Raymond finally left to take care of his business.
And I asked Nancy, so how involved are you with Raymond? She said, oh, this is our first date and it's a blind date so i said well forget what he is talking about on thursday night what are you doing on saturday night she said i think i'm doing whatever you're doing that's awesome and that's it good for verne he also names the guy yeah you can't say no you can't say no to that big smile the big like the chipmunk cheeks mr steal your girl also i found out because i was, I was like, I hope they're still married. Vern was married to a woman before that whose last name was Vernon.
And I really wish he had taken her name. Taken her name, Vern.
Vern Vernon. So I was thinking about the name Vern.
We might be running out of Vern's. He might be the last major Vern.
Yeah, he actually could be. It's his middle name.
Is it? It is? What's his first name? Merton Laverne. Merton.
Oh, his name's Merton? Good call, Vern.

Yeah.

Merton Laverne.

Oh, yeah, we probably have some Lavernes.

He does look like a Merton, too.

Merton Laverne. Merton Laverne.

Love post junior.

Yeah.

He's the best.

Oh, he's a junior.

There's another Merton Laverne.

Damn.

Please, Merton's just my father.

Yeah.

I'm Vern.

But Vern is the best.

What if he just calls himself Merton when he's out on the prowl on the town? He's Mr. Steal Your Girl.
I'm Merton. Wikipedia says his nickname is the Golden Throat.
The Golden Throat. Isn't that Nancy Reagan? It is, yeah.
I don't know. Also very funny.
The Golden Throat. The guy.
Merton put a hurtin' on that thing. Dears one on Twitter who said apology accepted.
It was just a picture of Tiger's Escalade crashing into crashing into the tree yeah and then tiger shaking hands with the tree which was verne behind the tree yeah it's pretty i mean verne's arm does look like a tree's arm if it yeah the giving tree it's just powerful uh one of my one of the great stats that i saw online today was that scotty scheffler's caddy has out earned rory mcelroy this year so that's tough tough break yeah rory i feel like i didn't even see rory so tiger before the tournament started tiger was he was doing like his press conference or whatever and he said you know rory's gonna win this thing it's just a matter of time he's good enough he's talented enough kind of fucked up for him to say that yeah ahead of time like being like yeah rory he's great he's good if i was one if i was rory i'd be like you shouldn't say that yeah i haven't won a master's yet i haven't won a green jacket i haven't won a major in like a decade you can't just say like i will win a master's because you get that vibe from me yeah yeah i just did that to oberg but over oberg's got a lot of years oberg i said multiple oberg's a robot ready to play play golf yeah i feel like we didn't even see Rory at all. I also, the early coverage when they do, I likened to red zone, but when they are like, let's check in on 16, and whoever, it wasn't 16 because that was Vern, but they check it into 14.
Whatever announcer it was having to be like, and this just happened a few seconds ago, just being like, I know what's going to happen before you yeah and then i always get the red zone feel of why you wouldn't show it to us unless it's going in yeah like when scott hansen's like and we go to tennessee like here comes a pick six that drives me nuts yeah just let us just think everything's live and also every year i fall for the same trick which is i tune into the wrong app at the start of it yeah and then i watch all the like pre-produced segments that they have nicholas and i keep wondering like when are they going to go out to the course and it never goes out to the course yeah it's just the piano music the guitar you get yeah like nine shots of tom watson and jack i saw jack nicholas tee off like four times yeah yeah that that does happen every single year we also um i'm trying to think oh wyndhamndham Clark. That was tough.
He, on Thursday, made a live joke being like, oh, yeah, well, 54 holes. I got this.
I can shoot minus seven tomorrow, and then he missed the cut. I think he shot seven over par.
Yeah, that was tough. That was tough for Wyndham Clark.
Also, there's so many cams now. There's a lot of cams.
There's three Camerons. We had three had three cameras that finished towards the top two of which are australian so that's confusing it it was it was relatively easy for me if i had the american cam and then i had the australian cam now we've got two australian cams and one american cam now i have no idea who's who yeah it's it's weird when we get them in bunches did you see what we have uh we have a bunch of uh i think it's like three of the top 10 prospects in mlb or jackson yeah they're all jacksons yeah there's some form of jackson i know i was hoping the first name or last name uh first and last no i think there's a last two jacks oh yeah jackson churio jackson morel and jackson holly so all first i was hoping that it was uh linked up perfectly with outcast sorry miss jackson but it was a few years off been sick.
Yeah, that would be awesome. If that one song made just three incredible baseball players.
Yeah, it's tough. Listen, we're getting old.
There are no more Matts, it feels like. The age of Matts is going past.
There was a time when there were like nine starting quarterbacks in the NFL, all named Matts. Yeah, we're losing them.
Now we're losing them. Now we're on to Jadens.
Yeah, Jadens and Kams. A lot of Kams.
Where were you playing at matt fitzpatrick oh matt fitzpatrick yeah yeah championship yep we also had some uh great quotes from terrell hatton uh who is just like he can't he's just so mad at augusta and you don't really get this very often because it feels like everyone's so prim and proper except for uh zach johnson who that guy sucks yeah he's okay so i actually i don't have a problem with what he did no because they cheered when he made it a bogey right which is funny and then he triple triple triple bogey and because he was going to miss the cut and then he turned around he was like oh fuck off after he finally made his putt i got no problem with that like tell him to fuck off all you want don't lie about it but then go 10 toes down yeah right afterwards be like i stand on it he's like i can't even hear them yeah that's crazy and he's also just he's spiraling from the rider cup debacle yeah which i get it and i also saw um uh there was a like a whole green jacket one of the things that you watch when you're on the wrong app like the green jacket what this means for everything zach johnson admitted that he got yelled at for wearing the green jacket. One of the things that you watch when you're on the wrong app, like the green jacket,

what this means for everything.

Zach Johnson admitted that he got yelled at for wearing the green jacket on

Regis and Kelly with jeans.

You're not supposed to wear it with jeans.

Oh,

by Augusta.

Augusta reached out to him.

You're not supposed to wear it with jeans and you always have to have a

collared shirt underneath.

I love Augusta.

Isn't that great?

They're so funny.

They police that shit hard.

Hard.

So,

uh,

Terrell Hatton,

he,

uh,

he had some good quotes. He said, I don't know what I have to do to shoot shoot under par around here i'm putting on a brave face for what i want to talk about or say uh he said he's devastated and it's brutal and then he said about uh 15th hole that hole lives rent free in my head i hate it i absolutely hate it and i think it hates me with the scores that i end up producing on it yeah because you don't usually hear guys.
They come off and they're like, 15th, what an incredible hole. Man versus hole.
Yeah. Yeah.
Listen, he's developing quite a rivalry with the course. He's kind of a grumpy guy too.
Yeah. He probably hates most holes.
Yeah. A lot of them.
What else from the Masters? Augusta asked Jason Day to change. Oh, yeah.
Because they said it was too busy. His drip was awesome.

I almost bought the pants, by the way, from his new advertiser.

Malbin.

After everyone told me that I was a loser.

They've got a sick Newport shirt, too.

They have sick gear.

Yeah.

But I can understand that's not Augusta.

That outfit doesn't say Augusta to me.

Yeah.

Oh, also Bryson.

Bryson was, for a moment, all the way in it. I also, in the most bryson thing ever we didn't talk about this on thursday he 3d printed his clubs and got them approved a week ago yeah which i would imagine they just looked at it like okay we don't know there's there's nothing in the usga was that who it was that had to check about nothing in the rule book about b Bryson DeChambeau making 3D printed clubs.
$10,000 3D printed clubs. I love that story.
I want to, like, could you 3D print some clubs that make it so it just always goes straight? Yeah, probably. I don't know how they check it out.
Really, really huge club head. So did Bryson just, he created these himself? He, like, downloaded the they were supposed to work with a team but it was supposed to fix so like the misses are not as bad was what i read yeah but that's there's basically you can do that with regular clubs he was just like i needed to be specific specific to specific i think he just wanted to be able to say like i'm the first golfer with 3d printed clubs just everyone knows, we've squashed our beef with Bryson because Brooks did.
Hank has gone all the way to being a stan. Hank loves him.
He's a stan of Bryson. Oh, and stan.
Because when I brought this up, I brought this up in the gambling cave, and Hank immediately was like, well, yeah, you can 3D print your clubs. You love everybody on the Live Tour.
Not anymore. Why? Because I had a round robin.

I needed a bunch of guys to finish top 20 and Brooks and Rom screwed everything.

That's neither here nor there.

Bryson, I like his YouTube videos.

I watch his YouTube videos.

I've come around.

That's fair.

You love his content online.

Literally.

Yeah.

Thank you for everything you do online, Bryson. I would say that to him if I saw him.

We need to get that.

He said today, he was like, I have a Snapchat. People come up to me and say, thanks for what you do on Snapchat i would say that to him if i saw him we need to get that he said today he's like i have a snapchat people come up to me and say you know thanks for what you do on snapchat i love that good for bryson he also looks like he did the genius thing of gaining all that weight muscle and then getting skinny again he looks good he's like good looking he will win a major this year he looks oh he looks like a regular gol With the 3D printed clubs? Yeah.
He will win one. His logos are pretty cool.
I just read Rappaport. I just wrote this.
He blogged some master's thoughts, but apparently Augusta doesn't. In a practice round, you can bring green reading technology that shows you kind of like the wavelength of the greens and slope and stuff.
Okay. And he's obviously a super nerd scientist, so he uses that and does calculations and like uses a ruler to figure out how far back he has to go with putts augusta doesn't allow that they just have normal like old school green reading technology or whatever that you can't you can't use all the extra stuff and bryson he you know he didn't say it was an excuse but he's like yeah i gotta figure out how to play a round of golf without being able to use all my science.
I bet you Bryson's going to get Neuralink. Yeah, he's going to get a...
He's going to get the chip implant in his brain. Yeah.
And yeah, he's going to be like, now I have an advantage. He'll close one eye and he'll be like the Terminator.
Yeah, he's a BT 1000. You're absolutely right.
It probably won't work. And Hank will be like, that's not illegal.
He'll be the first person to get it done. And he'll be like, look at me.
I'm on the bleeding edge of technology. Then on the 16th hole, his eyes are just going to start to bleed.
Or he'll get all this technology installed into his brain, and then he'll get to Augusta where they probably have a Wi-Fi firewall. They have jamming technology.
Yeah, they will just solve. His brain will just- He's just going to freeze like Mitch McConnell, not be able to move.
He's's like what's going on bryson and hank would be like well they screwed him bryson's just too far ahead of the game yeah i mean if they're illegal they wouldn't have got approved that's i honestly i i think they probably just didn't know what to do i so they were looking at him and like okay my take is that you should be allowed to use whatever club you want yeah ever like all the time doesn't matter how big it is get the ball in the hole i'll say this about bryson i immediately looked because it did say specifically that it was like so that his misses were not as big of misses i started looking up to see if there's a driver that just doesn't that always hits it straight and i will buy it if i can find one there are are some that have like a giant face on them. Yeah.
Yeah, just a fucking huge, huge head. QR10.
All right, so TaylorMade. I need one that just everything goes straight.
I don't care if it goes far. I just want to play in the middle of the fairway.
They make these clubs that automatically go back and forward. Like there's a hinge on it that you press, a button, and the club bends backward and then goes through the ball.
So you don't even have swing oh okay yeah so you just press a button you press it you stand next to the ball that sounds like perfect golf for me it goes straight yeah you should you should be allowed to cheat at golf with the clubs that you use you you obviously have to take your own shots but if they're your clubs they're in your bag just get the ball in the hole yeah put the ball in the hole uh okay else from the Masters? We're going to talk more with Scott Van Pelt, who is there.

Answer some of our questions.

Scott, he's only 27 years old.

He's got a face of a 40-year-old.

Yeah.

But he's 27.

He's going to – let's do the fun debate.

Over, under –

What would be a disappointment in terms of total majors?

If he doesn't win five green jackets, I think his career was a bust. Yeah, I'd say.
He's got two right now at 27. I think he has to get to 10 majors.
How many does he have? And what's Tiger at? 16? I want to say. Jack Nicklaus is at 18.
Tiger's at 15. 15.
Okay. And he is at? Four.
Four. No.
Two. No, two.
Two. He hasn't won anything besides the Masters.
He has to get ten majors. No, his career is already a disappointment.
Ten majors. At 27? Yeah.
That's crazy that he's just finished second twice. How many majors did Tiger have by the time he was 27? A lot.
Probably like nine. All of them? Nine.
Tiger Woods, because he won that stretch that he had. He had a Grand Slam.
Where grand slam where he went from like a tiger slam so he turned 27 and oh two he had three masters two pgas two us opens and an open so it's at eight seven okay so yeah eight eight yeah so scotty's a bust scty's a bust. Yeah.
No, I think he's got to win at least four.

Over under three and a half green jackets.

So when you win green jackets as you get older,

do they resize you every year or do they give you the same size?

I think they give you the same size, yeah.

Yeah, it'd be funny if he got it real fat

and the jackets didn't fit him at the end.

Yeah.

Also, Tiger won back-to-back Masters 0-1-0-2.

If Scotty wins next year, who puts on the jacket?

Himself?

Like, who presents it? Yeah, I think he has to present himself with a green jacket that's sick yeah yeah i don't know it's probably just uh what's the name ridley right oh the owner yeah the chairman he probably is rooting for that so that he can put on the jacket yeah so another day for him isn't it kind of bullshit that the other guys get jackets the members yeah i think if you're just a member there right cond there, right? Condoleezza Rice, I saw her wearing a green jacket. She shouldn't have a green jacket.
Yeah. It should be, or maybe a different shade of green.
I don't want to say which golfer it was, but I had a friend that went home with the daughter of a Masters champion. Oh.
One time to that guy's house, put on the green jacket and only the green jacket i think that august would have a problem with that you won't guess i will guess let me let me let me look okay i will guess um oh maybe nick faldo no why not it wasn't nick faldo nick faldo right. I bet you Nick Faldo just wears the green jacket.

Was that guy Scott Stradler?

Nope.

Maybe Scotty Stradler?

Craig Stadler?

Craig Stadler?

Scottie Stadler?

Oh, poor Wilford Brimley slash Craig Stadler.

I think we would be really good at just making up golfer's name.

Scotty Stradler definitely won a Green Jacket.

Yeah.

Patrick Reed.

No.

How old do you think Patrick Reed's daughter would be? BJ. No.
Marco Mira. Not Marco Mira's daughter.
Freddie. Ben Crenshaw.
Oh, okay. I got it.
I didn't say. No.
No. All right.
Should we talk some UFC 300? That fucking rocked. My favorite part was when that dude punched that guy in the stands as he was walking out.
That was that was awesome as well he asked me through hands at a guy that was just lean over to try to dap him up but we had two moments that were just absolutely insane this is when i actually thought max homo was going to win the masters because it was the weekend of max's we had matt our max doing the uh philadelphia pride night parade uh which was great to the Sixers game. And then Max Holloway versus Justin Gaethje, one of the coolest moments.
Max Holloway was dominating the fight. He was going to win the fight.
And in the last 10 seconds, he literally just pointed to the middle of the octagon and was like, meet me here. Let's throw some fists.
And he knocked out Justin Gaethje with two seconds left. And it was so fucking cool.
Give the fans what they want. It was.
And credit to Justin Gaethje for, I mean, he was getting his ass kicked. And then he's like, all right, fine.
I'll just get knocked out too. That should be overtime in all the UFCs.
Just standing. They shrink the octagon.
Yeah. Just like five feet in diameter.
Just stand in there and punch each other until somebody wins. Yeah.
And then Pereira versus Jamal Hill was awesome as well because Pereira got got kicked in the cup and Herb Dean tried to stop the fight and he literally held him off with a hand and then two seconds later knocked him out with a with a left yeah it was so badass yeah like no it's all right I got this and just fucking crumpled him who's your goat referee is it Herb Dean or is it uh big John McCarthy I like Herb Dean I do do. And then we also had in the female fight the – oh, fuck.

What's her name?

Now people are going to get mad.

Wang.

No.

I'll find it.

I'll find it.

Anyone want to help?

Wang Lee.

Weili Zhang.

She choked out her opponent in the first round, but she got saved by the bell where I've never seen someone get choked out and then the bell rung. She was completely out.
She basically got helped up, was loopy, and then fought another four rounds. It's insane.
Fucking crazy. It's insane what they just bounced back from.
They're just like, yeah, I'm good to go out there. I'll get punched in the face some more but that justin gaethje max hallway moment was that was dana must have been so pumped that was that was very cool because you had to have something like that at ufc 300 right you had to have like a seminal moment that people be like oh yeah i remember this is what happened at 300 and because people are upset with the card before the actual fights happen right they wanted more of a splash that was a moment that made it feel like worth it to purchase this fight and it was just it was everything you want like meet me in the middle let's fucking throw some haymakers with 10 seconds left a lot of times when you get to the end of a fight guys will be like all right i'm just trying to not get knocked out here and max holloway was i mean he was gonna win and he was like fuck it let's right now.
Yeah, it was very cool. Yeah.
And then Conor McGregor's back announced. McGregor's back confirmed good.
Is he still good? I don't think so. So he might be reaching that level where it's like people will tune in to watch a Conor McGregor fight.
100% will. I will definitely watch him.
Without a doubt. But he's been out of the game for so long that it might just be sad watching him.

He might just get his ass kicked.

If he wins, Holloway said he'd be down to fight him too.

That would be a good fight.

Or it'd be exciting.

It'd be exciting.

Yeah.

It feels like he's risking a lot fighting.

Because if he just gets...

If he loses in the first round, let's say, now it's, okay, he hasn't won a big fight in a long time

and all the memories now are different.

I think his legacy is cemented.

I think he's always going to be known as the guy that defined his era.

The real upside for him is not just the fight.

It's for the two months leading up to the fight

where he does all the shit talking and he throws water bottles at people.

It's good for us.

He makes the way in into a circus. That's going to be good for Conor McGregor.
It doesn't really matter what happens. And good for us.
And good for us. Yes.
It's always like what could have been if he just didn't box and spent his prime continuing to fight. Because after the boxing, it was that.
Well, he lost to Nate Diaz before the boxing. Yeah, but that was a great fight.
That was an awesome fight. And an ATS fight is an awesome fight.

Okay.

Like, that didn't hurt his legacy.

No, no, no.

That was Warriors.

Yeah.

All right.

Anything else before we do Who's Back of the Week?

I think I'm a believer in Mark Pope now.

Fuck.

Oh, that was my Who's Back of the Week.

Okay, we'll save it.

We'll save it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That was my Who's Back of the Week.

Okay.

So that was yours as well.

So I got to scramble.

But I have to read these ads.

I'm not going to do.

Hank, your who's back of the week. My who's back of the week is the Nest Cortez pitch.
Oh, yeah. Good one.
How'd you find that so fast? One of the craziest pitches of all time. That's Bush League.
Yeah. Bush League.
Did you watch it? Yeah. What did he do? It was Bush League ass pitch.
Explain. Describe to us what he did.
He's a pitcher. So he wound up.
Okay. And he threw the ball and it was bullshit.
Yeah. He wound up.

Show a pitcher. So he wound up.
Okay. And he threw the ball.
And it was bullshit. He wound up.
Show us. Stand up and show us.
He got called for a balk. Show us what he did.
He's a pitcher. I don't think he was called for a balk.
Hank, I haven't seen this story yet. Can you tell me what it is? Can you please stand up? Stand up and show it.
Yeah, I know that. We know that.
Don't look at your phone. Stand up and show it.
Hold on, lefty. I don't know if I can do it.
Hank, what team does he pitch for? He pitches for the Reds. Wait, he's a Yankee.
He's a lefty by the way. He's a lefty for the Reds.
He's a lefty for the Reds. Yankees.
Alright, so this is Hank doing Nestor Cortez. He wound up.
Yup. And then he...
No. no, no.
So he wound up...

Here, I'll show you what he did.

You tell me.

You narrate it and tell me if it's Bush League.

Okay.

So I'm a righty.

All right, so Big Cat is a righty.

He's stepping back.

He's winding up.

He steps back.

Full motion.

Transfers.

Small leg kick.

Back.

Oh, he got a fake kick.

And then throws again?

He did a pump fake.

He acted like he was throwing a ball. How is that bullshit? He was throwing a ball to his fucking Labrador retriever at the park.
He did a fake and he like swung his foot and never brought it down. It was just weird and bullshit.
Old baseball writers are very mad about it. The real who's back of the week should have been old baseball writers getting mad at.
Yeah. They were calling it Bush League.
Yeah. So what exactly are they mad at? The fact that it was disrespectful to the game? This is hilarious.
It is hilarious. Yeah.
Great balance, too. That's so fucking hard to do.
Incredible balance. I mean, it's Bush League, but if he keeps doing it, I'm fine with it if he just makes it a thing.
I think he just got caught kind of in the air and was like i don't know what to do here but he's been doing weird stuff this one tweet is so good dan clark this so-called move by nestor cortez should be illegal a very mediocre pitcher trying to find an unethical advantage okay i'm now on for this type of stuff belongs in the savannah in parentheses bananas not in the major league all right i'm now i now think it's an awesome pitch an unethical advantage i didn't know it made people that mad so i mean there's no way this is actually like a strategy that could like yeah like he has no but it was like 70 it's actually impressive that it was still 76 miles an hour so what are the rules you can't you't... I've just never seen a guy fake.
Then you have to let go of the ball? Yeah, nothing seems illegal here. It's just it doesn't seem like a strategy that would work.
It was crazy. Because you have no momentum, but...
Yeah, all right. So I'm on Nestor Cortez's side now.
If it makes people mad, that rules. Yeah.
Crazy. Not bullshit.
I knew it wasn't bullshit. How did you find that without seeing the video? Max just tweeted me.
I was going to look for it, and then I was like, let's just see what happens. He texted me, whatever.
He just said, Nestor Cortez, bitch. I was going to look for it, and I said, you know what? Let's just go for it.
Let's just go for it. I didn't.
Okay. I mean, the odds were stacked against you because we had the same who's back.
Give Hank a break. That was actually a very good job.
Thank you. Given the circumstances.
Did you catch up on sleep this weekend, Hank? I did. I'm well-rested.
Good. Sober as a goat.
Sober as a goat. Goats are sober.
Is that what I'm saying? Is that a saying? Okay. Sober as a judge.
Sober as a nun. Goals work.
Goats. A goat? I don't know.
No, goats would drink any goats would drink any liquor yeah and i think they probably would eat grapes yeah well not tom brady that's true the antioxidants yeah that is bad inflammation that is also my who's back of the week is tom brady oh i thought goats no goat well a goat a goat tom brady he is sober uh he went on i don't's a podcast or a show. I think it's his? He was getting his hair cut, which my understanding was that was trademarked by LeBron James.
Yeah. Having a conversation at a barbershop.
That's true. But he was getting his hair cut, and they asked him about coming back to the NFL, and he said that he would be down for it.
Oh. And then he mentioned specifically, because I forget what team the barber brought up, but then Tom Brady was like, maybe the Patriots, maybe the Raiders.
So, Hank, your goat Tom Brady might come back and play for the Patriots. That would be fantastic.
Hank, where are you at right now with Drake May? We I know we have draft talk coming up in a week because it's going to be draft week, which I think

they should move the draft up.

I think the draft should happen.

I guess you can't do it March Madness to Masters.

We really need it the week after the Masters.

Yeah, because it just feels like I'm just ready for the draft to happen.

We know what the picks are.

Yeah, but they're going to give you two weeks of buildup.

Yeah.

You're going to eat it up.

I'm going to be Thursday and Friday night.

I'm going to be so sick of draft talk by the time the actual draft happens.

Brandon Ayuk wants a trade.

Yep.

So where are you with Drake May or Tom Brady?

Or Jane Daniels.

Or Tom Brady.

Or Tom Brady.

Or Caleb Williams.

Who would you pick?

I would pick.

Not Caleb Williams because he's not yours.

He's mine.

I'm still down for Marvin Harrison Jr.

Oh.

Who's going to throw him the ball? No one. Bailey Zabin.
Obi. Obi.
Yeah. There's plenty of fine quarterbacks out there.
You're so fucked. There's not three franchise quarterbacks probably in the top.
You know what I mean? What are the odds of that? that? What are the odds that the third-best quarterback is a franchise quarterback? Or you have a franchise wide receiver who's a stud and can actually make things happen with a perfectly fine Jacoby Percet. I mean, if there's...
Patriots win total is four and a half. The thing is, we need five wins.
You have to get a quarterback at some point. Wait, so Hank is doing the Joe Burrow meme, but instead of where's Joe Burrow and Penesuil blocking for him, throw it to

literally anyone. Joe Burrow,

anyone blocking for him, and he

incompletes it to Jamar Chase.

Hank's doing literally

anyone, blocked by literally anyone,

completion to Marvin Harrison.

Yeah.

I like that. You need to draw that meme.

And then the other one is like first round left tackle, Tom Brady, incomplete to not Marvin Harrison. Exactly.
Well, if we get Marvin Harrison to get Tom Brady, then we're cooking with gas. Yeah, that's true.
To get Tom Brady, you would be in a good spot. That would be one of the best combinations instantly in the NFL.
Wait, so, but if Tom Brady went to the Patriots, like they can't pretend that belichick and brady can't pretend that they liked each other ever again i think you'd be waiting so belichick left and tom brady i mean it's been made pretty clear i understand i understand but it's like that would be for it to get a 47 year old tom brady out of retirement to a rebuilding team yeah it was made it was made

clear when he left to begin with but and then and then him putting it out there even makes it even more clear that now now i would be willing to go back yeah oh oh belichick's not coaching anywhere in the nfl what changed in this offseason tom oh you know i'm just i i realized i love the game again yeah i wonder if belichick got like a job right now if he'd be like no i don't want to yeah They rehire Bill Brady, get the gang back together.

All right.

So, so you're, I don't want to. Yeah, they rehire Bill.
Brady, get the gang back together. All right, so you don't want a quarterback.
I think you need to, these next two weeks, you have to get yourself prepped for Drake May. We need your big board.
You need to be ready for Drake May. Because it's going to happen, and then you're going to have to talk about it.
It's guaranteed to happen. I would say it's more likely than not.
Could be JJ. Oh, could be JJ.
You might get JJ. Could be JJ.
National champion. Do you know who JJ is? Yeah.
Okay. Which school does he play for? Michigan.
Yeah. Throwing to Marvin Harrison? Wouldn't that be a little bit difficult? I mean, yeah, we'll see.
I'll lock in this week and do some draft research yeah because we used to have have billy's quarterback bracket which was a great part of the show billy's no longer around um he's running for congress he has a news conference tonight at 6 30 i think he's taking on the mob anyways he's doing something smart um so we need hank i think you have to step up your top 10 fill billy's shoes but your top 10 starting at number three yeah so three through 13 so assume that uh caleb williams or jayden daniels or drake may maybe has been taken at that point you're yeah and then give us your and then i want like a little blurb about every player too okay is this a once an episode thing no no no this week We'll do. This week.
We'll do a Friday. It might not even happen.
Is Friday going to work? We tape that on Thursdays. At Thursdays.
What time? We can do 11. Okay.
Just a blurb. Hank, we're honestly asking you to write 10 blurbs.
Okay. Yeah.
Done most likely and what you will do is just take them from someone else. No, I'll do it myself.
I would like you to watch a little blurb. I'll watch YouTube videos.
Yeah. Do a blurb.
Watch a highlight. Yep.
But yeah, Brandon Ayuk, that was it was like the 49ers are on that, like they're going to have to make some hard decisions soon. They can't keep everybody together.
If they're going to sign Brock Purdy. Yeah, they can't keep everyone around.
And also, T. Higgins said that he wanted to trade, too.
Yeah, he got franchised. Now I think T.
Higgins is like, psych, I'm going to stick around and play. Nice.
He did a football camp, and the kids, I guess one of the kids asked him a question about it. He was like, no, I think I'm going to be Bengals.
So you can ask for a trade all you want in the NFL, but they don't actually have to trade you. Shout out to kids.
How about that kid? We didn't even mention it. The kid, when Scotty touched his ball, he's like, no, it didn't move.
Yeah. It was like a seven-year-old that we just took the – like, okay.
He said it. I guess kids don't really lie like that.
They don't really understand how to. Yeah.
What if a kid just like kicked his ball into the middle of the fairway? That would be hilarious. Yeah.
On the fly. You can do it if it's on the fly, right? Yeah, and they probably wouldn't kick out a kid.
No. Okay, so your who's back is Tom Brady.
Tom Brady. Tom Brady's back.
Yeah. My who's back is Kentucky basketball and Mark Pope.
Yeah, I'm with you. I think I'm a believer in Mark Pope now.
So Mark Pope, they had the 96 Wildcats, who Mark Pope was the captain of that team. They drove a bus into Rupp.
Rupp was, by the way, packed to the gills. And all of the players came out.
Mark Pope came out with the trophy. I was saying this on Thursday, I think, is when they hired Mark Pope.
If you're a Kentucky fan and you don't like this hire, I understand. You thought you were going to get Nate Oates.
You thought you were going to get Danny Hurley. You thought you were going to get Billy Donovan and all these things.
Nostalgia is a very a very powerful drug like i would just if i were a kentucky fan right now i'd just be looking at pictures of mark pope and rick patino and be like this is this is we're going back sometimes you got to go back yeah getting the alumni back on campus i think they had like 15 000 people yeah up today so i mean you wanted a splashy hire you wanted a coach that was going to come in and everybody would be like, okay, this guy is worthy of the Kentucky job.

But there's no guarantee that a guy like that is going to work out long term.

Right.

Who knows?

If Pope works out, it's going to be the best thing ever.

If he doesn't work out, it's not, yeah,

you'd rather have made a better hire at the time.

But an old guy that won a championship there, you're right.

The nostalgia, having all the players around, it feels like it could be fun.

We also had, Max had a great point last week where he said that all the boosters, all the money that would have gone to Danny Hurley's $15, $20 million contract can now go to NIL deals, including Rick Pitino said that he would pitch in. I'd never seen that before.
Rick Pitino is going to pitch in for kentucky's nil yeah he's for what reason because he's mark pope's coach that's crazy and they're going to do a uh home and home i think with st john's which rocks that's crazy to me that patino just wants to coach kentucky yeah he was just like i'll get on he did a video being like mark pope is the man and you know if he needs help i'll help him that's insane i would yeah if i was a St. John's fan, I would not be happy about that.
Remember, it's Rick Pitino not as much as he wants to go back to Kentucky. He wants the guy who came after Cal to succeed because he hates Cal, which this is what college sports are about, rivalries and deep-seated hate.
He hates Cal because Cal made everyone forget about Rick Pitino. So yeah rick patino's ready to ready to chip in he's ready to go uh all right shake my who's back of the week is people being mad online so i think we talked about this with uh with the other day but they do the media lottery every year this is this is crazy this is yeah and one of the winners is a reporter from a local news station named Julia.
Julia won the lottery. This will be her first round of golf ever.
That rocks. And people are so mad about it.
Guys like that mad right there. Henry Lockwood, gatekeeper of golf.
That's awesome. I hope she shoots 3,000.

That'd be like you taking your son out for his first time in golf at Augusta.

But it was your first time playing, too, and the whole time you'd be like,

how do you hit the ball?

Yeah.

That's awesome.

It is funny.

That's so funny. I hope she just skips like seven holes.

And she's like, I don't really feel like playing this one.

I got a nine on the last one.

How can you not find the humor in that?'s humor in it but it's oh it's great people are saying the respectful thing to do would just be to decline no no no three other you what you won the lottery you won the lottery you gotta play she she won and and people like hank are gonna sit there and just be so i hope she posts her score and it's it's why would you enter the lottery to play a round of golf if you've never wanted to play a round of golf in your life? It's Augusta, dude. If you're covering it, yeah.
Imagine being able to be like, yeah, I've played one round of golf in my life if it was at Augusta. Why would you cover golf and never at any point in your life be like, maybe I should go and hit a couple balls covering golf.
Heck, she won fair and square. He is so mad.
I get she won fair and square, but why... Yeah, I'm not'm not like that it's so mad she's gonna take massive dibbits in the middle of the fairway why would you be mad if all people like the only people that could i'm not mad i just think it's someone else is in the lottery it does it doesn't affect our lives at all it doesn't affect my life at all either but why you're mad but why enter because it's aug do you not enter? Yeah, you have to enter.
Because you've never had at any point in your life been like, I want to go play golf. So why now? I think you don't even have to play golf to enjoy a nice round of golf at Augusta.
Yeah, I hope they make this a new tradition. Just finding one person who doesn't even like golf.
Yeah. And like kidnapping them.
Yeah. and forcing them to go to augusta i hope

she posts her scorecard oh it would be oh we gotta we gotta at least we gotta fake a scorecard and post it and be like look here's the person who won it and have it be legitimate like 375 every every hole is a is a 22 and i hope she gets a hole in one by mistake that's what i would put on my card.

Yeah, she gets a hole-in-one, shoots a 300.

Oh, man.

How mad would people be if we played Augusta and I did a fake scorecard? Oh, what if you're behind her? What if you get an opportunity to play Augusta and then you can't play? You don't finish your round because she's in front of you. She doesn't know how to play.
I like how mad this made Hank so pissed about this i wasn't mad she oh yeah you're mad dude you're so mad that she's getting to play a gust your name wasn't even in the lottery yeah that's what i'm saying if your name was in the lottery i could understand being like fuck this i really wish i could play yeah we would never we're never gonna play a guy that's what it is hank thinks he's gonna play augustus i'll never play no you think you think if we cover it and we have credentials we'll be in the lottery i'll never cover it yeah i'll never cover it either i'll cover it so jake oh what will you be more mad about this woman playing it or jake playing i would be thrilled for jake if he played it by the way big nerd move i saw a few people doing they were making it uh they're like agnc they Just call it Dustin yeah yeah i don't like that or agngc you're not a member there yeah it's characters though yeah but just come on just say augusta it's the masters uh all right uh let's get to scoffing pelt let's talk a little masters we'll get an answer to some of these questions before we get to scott vanelt, he's brought to you by our good friends over at BetterHelp.

We now welcome on one of our very, very good friends, a tradition unlike any other. It is Scott Van Pelt calling us from the airport in Georgia.

Scott, before we talk about the Masters, just want to say thank you as always for joining us. Last year, people who were listening when Scott was getting a phone call from his neighbor and it turned out that his house was on fire.
I'm happy we're a year removed from that and everything is good right on track we're good it's it i will say this week is always my favorite week of the year as you boys know uh this is a big part of it i always enjoy visiting uh it's wild to be sitting in this airport a year later and remember when i was getting call from a neighbor and it's uh your house was on fire not great um that was a shitty night um but you know we're a year removed we're almost back uh and we're good and uh master's week was awesome so you know nothing but nothing but blue skies i had i hope all right i can't imagine what that flight was like after you get the call that your house is on fire and then you have to go up in a plane and lose cell service for a few hours. And when you land, you just hope that everything's okay.
Well, you know, it's wild about that. Honestly, PFT is that like my best friend went to my house.
All right. And like, think about whoever that person is for you that would go to your house if your house was on fire.
And once we got to a high enough place where you got cell surface, I sent a note and I'm like, how bad are we talking? And I see dot dot dot. Now, there are we all are familiar with the text with the dot dot dot.
With which is like, you know, the late night dot dot dot, like maybe something great's about to happen in that dot dot dot. right well i'm just waiting to see what he says and then nothing and i'm like oh shit he's trying to figure out how to tell me this and it's i finally get the answer back and it's like it's bad but it could have been worse okay and so okay so right so like you have a best friend that was telling you this And I'm thinking like that means like if you got into a fight with a man with a machete like he cut off your arm but you're not dead like that was that was the way i was rationalizing it then you know i got home that night and was like you know 1 30 in the morning and you walk in you're like whoa this is bad like because in my head like by the time we took off last year i was like well it's out and they got it contained and i'm like yes no big deal we're good we'll we'll get a broom and we'll sweep some stuff up we'll live in the other half of the house and you get home and you're like oh no it's gonna be a year and change so anyway um it was it was not great man it was it was it was also like i i just think about it because you are the consummate pro and like I said thank you so much we love having you on this show every year and I remember you getting the beep like through your phone and you ignored it and then you texted me after you're like that was uh interesting call that I was getting it was a little more serious yeah uh yeah yeah but you are you are you are the best for with us.
So let's talk about this Masters. Scotty Scheffler.
Absolute domination. When we started the show and we were talking about it, I threw out there, and I want to hear what your take is on this, that the wind on Friday and Saturday kind of fooled us to be like, oh, someone else could win this Masters because everyone was kind of on the same spot where it's like, it's hard to get birdies and even for Scotty.
And then when the wind died down, you saw today, it was just like, no, I'm the best golfer in the world. And it's not close.
That's, that's hashtag big cat golf insider. I feel like you're, you're on, you're on it.
It's that's pretty accurate. The thing I i'd say is about this is when the day started we were a lot of us at the course were entertaining the thought that somebody could go out and shoot something low because the people max i think we're a lot of us rooting for max if he could just start making some putts he hit the ball so beautifully morocco has won a couple of majors oberg is going to be a monster forever like somebody's going to go shoot something low um because it felt like it typically is out there on a sunday but it was really it was a challenging week and ultimately the guy that went low was was scotty you're you're you're right that the wind the wind was insane like scotty afterwards just try to explain it um like he said on 15 on friday he hit driver three iron and he had a layup to like 70 yards and because it was into the wind today he hit driver four iron he was on the green right uh or the bunker but like it was the wind was is i've never seen it like that and i've been coming here for a long long time like it was just so steady and and relentless and it did create maybe a sense that it was going to be um you know somebody could catch him but he's he's got a different gear at the moment and he's um he's just an awesome guy has he been on with you no he doesn't want to get actually we don't know that much about him because he doesn't do a whole lot of press so we don't know that much about his he seems like a very nice person and a very private person is that fair yes but more than that, like he, I think he just, he has the best sort of sense of what he cares about.
And he's not a social media person. He's a simple guy in that he loves, he's a, he's got a huge guy.
He's got great faith. He's a huge family guy that family's getting ready to, to, to have an addition.
And like a lot of people in sports, not just golf, but in sports, like they reach a certain point and then they think they have to keep getting better. And they like, they, they try like tiger did it forever.
He was like, I got, I got to keep getting better. And so, and I would always say to him, no, you don't, you just have to wake up and keep being who you are.
I think the genius of Scotty is he's like, I'm real good with whatever this is, and I'm not trying to change any of it. And when he says stuff like, look, my identity is secure and it doesn't change with this.
I really believe it. He won like 12 million in a month, and I don't think it matters to him at all.
So that's that's rare. Like it's really rare to be as good as he is at what he does and not have it impact who he is at all and i really don't think it does yeah and it's lip service when someone says that yeah and usually yeah the personality of somebody 12 million i promise you i'd be different i'd be like i was just too horrible i don't know what i do but even as an old man like i do crazy shit if I want all that money.
I'd just blow it, go to Vegas, meet PFT at that spot, get a bag of whatever that was. Oh, yeah, mushrooms.
I didn't want to bring it up, but since you brought it up, I wanted to apologize to you, Scott, because I do recall running into you in the casino and there were some other friends around. I was halfway to the moon on some mushrooms and I had a bag and I just like took them out in the open with everybody around us and handed it to somebody else.
And then I was like, oh yeah, Scott's right in front of us as we're doing this. Probably not the place that he wants to be seen.
If I could add one little caveat to the story, PFT looks right up at me and goes that that wasn't really very subtle was it not really i mean this has been a banner week for stories we have that i got to tell the chris long story of how he stayed on a soft 16 which you don't see that a lot. It was great to see everybody.

I had a blast.

We were on a real tight operation over here

because they were my mushrooms.

I left early to try to be like a great dad

and get home early.

I was like, PFT, take my mushrooms

because I would have eaten them with you.

I would have been a bad friend

if I didn't take them for Big Cat.

Someone's got to eat these.

So instead of eating mushrooms, you were home in time to eat donuts yes exactly exactly but i but when pft started sending the pictures i was like i should have stayed and eating the mushrooms yeah look here's me with big dom yeah and my pupils are the size of big dom's head we got to make up for it we went to the final four and ate a bunch of mushrooms there that's very true all right it all works out we're not drug guys though we don't do drugs but to your point about scotty it is it's weird to have such great perspective and to be that dominant at your sport because every you think of like all the other greats like tiger woods tom brady they they have zero perspective on real life right they're just focused on being the best at their sport and's what drives them to just dominate people. But Scott is just like, yeah, you know who I am as a golfer doesn't define me, but he just happens to be the best fucking golfer in the world by a large margin.
By a lot. And I think, you know, you hear from the very beginning, people talk about like, oh, this dude, he's like an old soul.
And he really is. I was asking myself this today and I thought it seemed like it had to be longer ago, but it was the, it was the November masters.
It was the one in 2020. I'd never met him and I knew he was this, you know, one of the next big things in the sports.
So there's no one here. And I just wandered over when he was finishing up a practice round to introduce myself.
And that was 2020. Like he's played in

five of these and he's won two already. And I mean, the thing about this sport, and we're not great at this in golf or in any sport, really, when somebody shows up and they become something like this, you just say, well, this is how it's going to be forever.
Well, it mostly that's not house life works. But if anybody has the ability to stay in this lane i i bet on him because again i don't want to be redundant which is what i'm doing but like he just doesn't seem to have vices or things that could get in the way of any of it presuming he stays healthy i think he'll just keep just obliterating people yeah yeah it's it's a crazy story and and he's a very likable guy.
All right, so Scott, put this into perspective for us. Tiger obviously didn't do great today or the weekend, but 24 consecutive cuts at Augusta.
We take it for granted, but it seems like looking back, it's like, holy shit, that's an insane stat to have. Not having one time where you had a Thursday and Friday.
One off round can ruin that streak. Yeah, it's – yes, what you said is exactly right.
But I think for so long, Big Cat, and he did it this week. Like, I'm here to win.
And like, all right, listen, you've earned the right, you're allowed to say that because you're you. But I also think if he's being honest, the guy had played like 24 holes of golf all year.
And he had to play 23 holes of golf on Friday. And if you were up early with us Friday morning, we came on at like 745 and you could see like it was cold out.
He's moving like an old guy that has a fused back and a busted up leg he's stiff he can't move and you're thinking oh this is gonna be a hard this is gonna be a hard day man and he just stayed like he it looked miserable like every moment looked miserable but he has this gear this thing inside of him where he just stares at whatever that pain or that adversity is and he he's like, hey, fuck you, because I'm me and I'm going to win. And him making the cut at one over was winning.
And that's the win for this week for him, because he didn't have the ability to play 72 holes right now. And it was really cool when Max came into the Butler cabin to be able to ask Max obviously about what he was doing, which was incredible, but you guys know how much he reveres Tiger.
And he got to play alongside the guy for two days and just sort of give us the context of what it's like to see the greatest of this generation battle his ass off just to play the weekend. And you could hear it in Max's, you know, his answers about how I just had the best seat to watch the guy do it.

It was it was awesome that he made the cut.

And then, you know, then the hard thing is now you got to play 36 more.

And he goes 82, 77. He's never finished last in the Masters.

He's finished first five times, never finished last after making the cut.

He did this week. But, you know, it's not patronizing.

I don't think to say that making the cut is the win for him for this week because of the record you just mentioned. Yeah.
Is the big winner in all that Charlie Woods being the swing coach that got his dad to make the cut at the Masters? He's so awesome. Like, I was asking Justin Thomas about him, and he's like, he's just the best because he's got all this game, he talks all this crap and you could just imagine it right like imagine you're Tiger's kid and you're really good and you can hit it farther than your dad and you can be on the range at Augustine just be like this is not what we talked about let's go let's tighten it up old man and I mean I I don't know him I just gave him knuckles the other day I'm like how are we doing like yeah He's like, we're getting there talking about his own game.
Like you could just, you know, I mean, I don't know him. I just gave him knuckles the other day.
I'm like, how are we doing? I'm like, yeah, he's like, we're getting there, talking about his own game. But, like, you could just, you know, I mean, you can imagine.
You could go one of two ways if you're the son of Tiger. Like, you could just be, like, this obnoxious kid that sucks, or you could be the coolest kid in the room, and he's the coolest kid in the room.
Just so you know, not in a creepy way, we have dibs on him. So I know that you think he's cool, but he did have a part of my take club cover that we saw a couple years ago.
So he's probably listening to this right now. We have dibs.
You can have him. I got to have the relationship with dad that helped me have my life.
You guys are certainly obviously bigger stars than me for the future. So by all means, Charlie Woods is all All part of my tank Charlie Woods is basically like our future investment Yeah, he's our meal ticket to staying relevant Throughout our 50s Yeah, when people are like, this show sucks You guys are so old, but Charlie Woods comes on once a month And he's fucking awesome Yeah, Charlie How cool is that one? All the stuff I got on Twitter was like Just two AW two awls in the in the butler cabin like that was like kind of a cool thing yeah you and max i hope for you guys too oh very cool it's very cool and we were rooting so hard for max and he played i think he played really well he there was no way he was going to be able to compete with scotty on sunday but it did it did make me think like yeah max max could actually win this as long as maybe maybe scotty's wife goes into labor like 72 hours earlier and then he's got a chance to win on sunday yeah you know what yes that would have been helpful if you got the if matt if uh if scotty got the phone call and i honest to god think he would have left like and i thought twice like whatever i got a green jacket i don't I don't have a kid.
I got to go home. But Max was so good.
And it's just, he just needed to make, uh, he needed to make some putts yesterday. If he made putts Saturday, I think he could have won today.
At some point you just have to, you start applying pressure. Cause you just know that you're running out of holes, you know, like I've got to, and he just, it had to be incredibly frustrating just to be so close so often and, um, and just not be able to get the butts to drop, but it's still for him and for Morikawa, both neither had had great years so far.
And so, um, you know, for both of them to play, uh, for both of them to play well this week is, is a big springboard moving forward. You're not getting a call right now.
Are you? No, no, no. Oh, that made me scared.
I got it. This is the truth.
I got a text, and I looked at him like, please don't be in your house. I got really scared there for a second.
You looked up, and I was like, oh, no. It wasn't.
For Max, though, I love the journey that he's going through. Because everyone knows he grinded for a long time, Corn Fairy, PGA, back to Corn Fairy.
And for the last few years, it's been like not being able to perform at his highest level in the majors.

Last year, he finished his top 10.

This year, he's there.

He can do it.

So it's a climb.

It sucks.

But were you able to talk to him after?

How is he doing?

Our Max Batgirl wanted to have him on this week.

And we're like, fuck no, dude.

We can't have him on after this. He needs some time.
But were you able to talk to him? I didn't see him when it ended because we go right up to our set to get ready to do our thing. And honestly, to me, and I'm sure you guys are similar, right? We're really blessed to know these people, and they're just people.
and if it were you, I'd be psyched that you were in the mix and I'd be pulling for you. But the last thing I would do right at seven Oh five is fire off.
All right, big cat, this was awesome. And here's why, because you don't care.
You don't want to hear it. And you're just one of a million other texts from people that, that mean, well, they're being sincere, but it's like a it's like a 24-hour rule kind of thing and at some point you just you know i shot him a note last night just like you're whoa sorry oh like you're playing you're playing awesome you just have to believe the putts are going to go in well not enough did but so what like he still played awesome right but i'll i'll wait and you know you just give it time before you bug them because the last thing you want that to be is like like hey not today you know not right now they felt i'm really not in the mood for your attaboy yeah it's like a two-week thing two weeks is is usually for for professional sports for professional yeah for professional athletes because i'm just like professional athletes are like like when josh allen has some heartbreaking loss, I would be like let's give it a little bit of time because they want to go through the whole course.
I feel like he'll be back to normal in a couple weeks. Well, do you think Max is listening to the show right now? He is.
I don't think I would listen to the podcast after the Masters if I was – Okay, if Max is listening to the show, let's just all say we're so proud of him and he's gonna win one max i'm really proud of you you're right there yeah and that rose bush was fucked up they should not have put that rose bush there yeah and also you probably should have hit it out of there but that's listen i'm not your caddy i'm not joe also but i would have hit it out of there i saw where it went in on tv i was yelling at joe i was like no it's right there yeah you're looking in the wrong place. Could he have hit it out of there? He could have, right? If he wanted to.
Sure, but the number of things that go right if you try to hit it out of there versus the number of things. Life's a risk-reward thing.
Yeah, I risk it all. The risk is rather lengthy.
The reward is really small there. So, I mean, he did what he had to do.
He just had to avoid double. And once you make double there, now you're like, all right, I have to make eagle on 13 and probably something else.
Yeah. He did end up – yeah, he ended up making like a million dollars at the end of the tournament.
Yeah. So, if he had done our idea, that probably would have dropped him down to like 700,000.
Yeah. It was a good job.
What do you make of note gate? Where are we at with note gate? i saw uh there was the buzz that tiger might have passed a note to neil shipley and uh i love this this is just very masters august so there's rules and they follow the rules but what what was there a note passed man i have no idea i just i i like i haven't i don't know i will get to the bottom of this yeah but we'll get we'll get to the bottom of this but like. We'll get to the bottom of this.
But let's just go through this like it's CSI, pardon my take. What would have been on it? What would have been bad about it? Who's in trouble? Yeah.
Well, we had a guess on what would be on it. We're going to spare you our guesses because you're friends with Tiger.
It could have been – what if he had said, like, use a seven here instead of an eight? I guess that would be, but it also is probably a really cool moment. You're not supposed to do that in golf, but, like, why wouldn't you just say it? Or you had your caddy hold up five.
Like like you'd like there's ways that we like the information shared but like i mean is it what did we write down like a silly joke i don't know who knows who cares i i me honestly i don't yeah yeah i don't really care it'd be funny though if it said like last time i took a tampon out of my bag and then threw it on the ground i got in. So this note is me pretending like I'm taking a tampon out.
Yeah. Same thing.
Masters probably were not going that route. Yeah.
Don't execute you for doing that. Yeah.
What about another one I was curious about? Bryson, his 3D printed clubs. How does that get approved? And were they just like, we've never seen this before.
guess yeah you're approved i think he's like uh he's like straight from nasa the whole thing like the clubs the loft the whole shebang like he but i gotta say something about that guy like he went through that thing where he was like hey i drink lots of milkshakes and i i i'm i look like if you pop me with a pin i would fly around like a balloon because i'm super swole and i'm doing all these curls videos in my garage with dudes and like it that reached a point where i think everyone was like hey i'm all set with this and he's now he looks phenomenal he's in great shape i i think that there he he sat in the uh in the media center years ago and said you you know, par for me around here, 67. And the Masters folks were like, really? You don't say.
And then he didn't play well. And I don't think anybody around here was particularly sad that that's the case.
But he came back. It felt like there was a humility to the guy.
I enjoyed the time that he spent. He came in a couple of days in the Butler cabin.
He grabbed his butt off, played really well. But if you're asking me what the numbers are for the putting and what goes on with his clubs and the loft and the three, I don't have a fucking clue.
And I don't think anybody else does either. And I think that's part of it.
Everyone would just look around and be like, are these conforming? I have no idea. Yeah.
I just don't know who knows. squashed his beef, we squashed our beef.
Bryson, he's good for golf. He's an interesting guy.
There's enough people out there that don't want to be interesting people when they're playing sports. The people who are interesting and do things differently, we should embrace.
And he looked like he was actually having fun today. Yeah.
And when he holed out Saturday, it's like, awesome, go get him. And I mean, he was in the mix.
And look, he's an awesome player. His ceiling's really high.
And I think this week I was on Pardon the Interruption, and they asked me about Liv, or maybe it was Levitard. I don't know.
I just said, no one gives a shit about this Liv stuff at this point. It feels like golf just needs to get back together.
But it's kind of complicated because the PGA Tour said, hey, you can't take the money. A bunch of dudes did.
And then they're like, yeah, well, let's get back together. What's easy for you to say you got 100 million? Right.
I think everyone kind of just understands that it's better when everyone plays. It's fun to see Rahm and Brooks and Bryson and Cam Smith and Neiman and all the other dudes.
You want to see them all play together because that means the best in the world are together. And Bryson's one of those people.
So, I mean, this week I think the ratings were high for the Masters. That's the reason.
But it's also just a reminder that people like DeChambeau, a personality guy and a talent, they help make the game Like I don't, I don't imagine you all have talked any golf at all this year to this point, or if you did, it wasn't much. Yeah.
Well, Hank makes us talk about golf a lot. Yeah.
Plays a ton of it. Hank's mad because the reporter from Wisconsin, who's never played around a golf won the lottery.
So she's going to play Augusta tomorrow. Hank, you want me to get you out here? You want me to see if I can get something out? How many times have you played? Here? Yeah.
Some. You know, I don't know.
It's actually not a lot. You know the funny thing? I told someone this story today.
There was a member that asked me, and I couldn't because of work, and then asked me again, and I couldn't because of work. And he's like, you know, I've never had to ask anybody more than once i host a show and it's just me and if i'm not there then i mean it's not like i can get someone to cover my shift you know i'm sorry it sucks so bad having to say i can't i couldn't do it i'm just i'm hoping to get back again uh at some point but yeah i mean you know the i know a couple people that won the lottery i don't know I don't I didn't hear the story about the Wisconsin person that's never played but this ain't the person this is not the place you want to you know play for the first time yeah what did you shoot what's your low round at Augusta I broke a hundred but I it was like it started with a nine I was very sad about that because I putted well but I hit it awful and I was a complete tourist I was like I was like, all I did was walk around and take pictures the whole time.
If I did it again now, I would have a way different approach. But I was super touristy the whole time.
I look back on it now. I mean, whatever.
I think I probably had like quadruple pleated pants and like a bad part in my hair. So it was a lot about that day I'd like to redo.
Hopefully, I'll get another crack at here. Yeah, yeah, let us know.
Hank will definitely play with you, by the way. Yeah.
We'll see if I can get that done. He would actually, it's the opposite of you, he would quit.
He would quit Barstool as a whole for one round. For one round, yeah.
So very easy. Don't throw it all away, Hank.
You got a good thing cooking, man. Another big reason people tuned in to see Vern for the last time.
Yeah. It's not going to feel the same without verne i assume that you've gotten to know him over the years can you just tell us what he's like behind the scenes he's like there are certain people i think that you whatever you think imagine verne lundquist would be like like i think we all can be cynical right i mean all of us and we can kind of roll our eyes and stuff and then there's certain people you meet and you're like that's verne lundquist and there's a reverence because he's been uh this this soundtrack of so many incredible moments and he's really great and he's been incredibly nice to me and so the other day on our broadcast uh the the producer from cbs his name is seller shy he's like do you want to you want to say something to burn like you want to do something here on burn I'm like man that'd be awesome and so I didn't have anything written down I just but I just said that you know the moments here don't need anything you know the moments that the masters stand on their own but an iconic uh call can make these moments forever moments.
And Vern has made like made moments completely elevated to a different level. Like, yes, sir, with Jack and in your life, have you ever seen anything like that with Tiger? You don't just remember what they look like.
You remember what they sounded like because of Vern. And I went on and on about how great it was for us at ESPN to be able to share part of the weekend and show our respect and appreciation because we're just, you know, we're talking for all the people out there.
And he came up to me the other day and it was like he was choked up about how he could never thank me adequately for what I said. And I'm thinking to myself, this is there's surreal moments in your life.
And here's Vern Lundquist thanking me for thanking him. and it was like all i could do not to like i wanted to pick him up and hug him yeah i didn't want it to get weird for vern so i just told him how sincere i meant what i said and it's been a treat to get to know him because he's such a gentleman and he's a legend in broadcasting and like look we've all gotten to know each other right and i think think you guys understand that I appreciate all this, but there's, there's certain times that you just can't even believe that it's what you get to do.
Like you're, you cross paths with that guy at this event. And on Thursday and Friday, like you're calling the golf and he's on the call with you.
And you're like, how did any of so it was really really something i'll never forget when he was so appreciative of me just saying thanks which is what everyone would do if they had that chance you know what i mean it's so it's such a great point too when it comes to sports and like the announcers that just live in your head like i always just think of college football and keith jackson like's always – it will just forever be ingrained in my brain and, you know, Brent and all these guys. But, yeah, Vern, those moments, especially the Tiger moment, like that's – yeah, that's the first thing you think of is just repeating what he says as Tiger's ball rolls in.
I got one more Masters question, then I got another question, then we'll let you go because I know you got a flight flight to catch we were talking about this the green jacket ceremony awesome very unique to sports in the fact that you have the champion from last year putting on the jacket for the champion this year like could you ever imagine Tom Brady handing over a Super Bowl trophy to you know Patrick Mahomes he wins it the next year. Have you ever talked to anyone about that and being like, is that fuel? Because, like, Jon Rahm, you can't look comfortable in that moment to be like, I'm here, I'm competing, and now I've got to put the green jacket on you, and I wanted to win this thing this year.
I actually was really lucky to be able to talk to Arnold Palmer about it, like, a long time ago because there was this series of time time when, and I mean, it predates me mostly, but I mean, it was Palmer and player and Nicholas, the big three. And there was like this, there's a stretch and I'll get it wrong, but it was like, Gary put it on Jack, Jack put it on Arnold, Arnold put it on Gary.
Like it just, it traded hands among that trio. And I mean, I mean, in so many words, Arnold was like, well, Well, like well of course there's just enormous respect but there's just nothing that would make you your your competitive fire burn brighter than the idea that i got to put this thing on this guy right that i wanted to beat like i and then and he and he beat my ass and now i have to give him this i still have mine but like you're the one that gets this now.
I think that there is something that is, uh, it's, it's, it's like a sacred part of the week and it just shows the reverence and the respect that the champions have for each other. But hell yeah, if you got it, like, you think Ron wants to put it on Scotty? Like those guys were going back and forth all year last year.
And, and now, you know, look, Rom got all the dough and he didn't have his best. I saw him on Saturday and I said, you know, you battled your ass off yesterday.
He said it was not a good day to not have your best stuff. But I give him credit as a champ.
He wanted to be here playing the weekend. He didn't want to have to stick around and not be able to go home and have to wait till Sunday, right, to put the jacket on.
But you're absolutely right that there's, that it's, it's a revered part of the traditions

and there's a long list of them, but it absolutely is the kind of thing that, that stokes the

fire among these most competitive guys.

And wouldn't surprise anybody if Rom won it again next year, but there's so many things

I love about, uh, about this week.

And, um, I think one of them we, we probably have to do here. Yeah, that was my, that was my Scotty – because I don't even remember when Tiger won back-to-back.
What happens if Scotty wins next year? Does he just put it on himself? No, he gets to go streaking. That's the rule.
He went to – he just went around butt naked. You own the place, yeah.
No, like the chairman. Yeah, that's what I thought.
The chairman is the one that would put the jacket on him. To me, it's more fun, especially when it's great champions like it was today, which pretty much every year, if you're a Masters champion, it's obviously great.
But when you're talking about really high-ranked players, those moments are more memorable, I think. I agree.
What is the last outfit Sheffler next year? He's out of his mind. Roback question.
RHOBACK.com, promo code TAKE. Q-Zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, everything.
I'm wearing the joggers right now. I wear them all weekend long.
All week long, too. Roback.com, promo code TAKE.
The best clothes out there. Perfect golf polos as well.
It's golf season. Go to Roback.com.
Put in promo code TAKE. So Scott, what are we working with this year? Alright.
That was a real lengthy read. The vending machine.
That was a very lengthy read. Alright, hold on.
I gotta turn my camera around. Wait.
Can the old guy figure it out? Nope. Nobody knows.
How do I turn it around? Oh, no. You're going to have to just do it the manual way.
I am. Here, hold on.
Let me turn it around sideways. And then let's just turn it around this way.
So let's do the vending machine. Do we have the big Texan? We got Cheez-Its, Fritos.
Those look like... Oh, Chili Cheese Fritos are one-one.
Oh, no, Cool Ranch Doritos. We got Cheese Fix Munchies.

Okay.

There's the Mrs. Freshly's again.

Guys, I have terrible news.

No Big Texas.

Are you going to be able to survive the flight back?

Oh, no.

Pull out to reveal, guys.

Can we see everything?

Yeah, we can see everything.

I think you got to go Chili Cheese Fritos.

I would go Chili Cheese Fritos, maybe Cool Ranch ranch doritos and then the miss freshlies i'm just wandering around the uh the uh fbo here now now i'm just going to sit on this leather couch in this bright light and just say what a sad thing it is that there's no big texas this is uh we're gonna speak we're gonna have to speak to the folks here, I did run into my, the, the youngster that gave me the, uh, the gross, a big Texas last year at the PGA. And he's like, literally, I think he's like a big Texas drug dealer.
Like I think he just has them because he was, I swear to God, he was going to meet me with like a case of them. And I was like, I'll be honest with'm all good more of a once a year he was ready to to to deliver the goods i think um i think i'm gonna get the chili cheese fritos though although big texas that would be a great nickname for scotty yeah he's big texas he's a big texas yeah that's it how poetic is that i know i know i know his.
I know his guy, Blake. I'll get a shoot and note directly to him and say, we've got PFT says, let's get the big Texas thing sorted out.
And probably a great opportunity to make some dough there. Scotty's guy is Blake? Scotty's guy is Blake? Blake of the year.
Damn. He's got it all he's got a blake yeah that's good he's got figured out is that couch the casting couch you didn't even know that yeah i'll say it again is that couch the cat the casting couch couch whoa no no i think this is where i stuck to it i think the pilots come in here and hang out they're probably gonna kick me out of here.
Well, last question, Scott. As someone who loves to take the points,

um, I think the pilots come in here and hang out. They're probably going to kick me out of here.
Well, last question, Scott. As someone who loves to take the points, March Madness, not so great? I mean, I needed to do – how about Portnoy? Yeah.
Holy shit. He's pretty good.
He's a sharp now. The fact that he also gets to say – he had a tweet when Morikawa was on 18, and he was like, big battle for third-place money, a.k.a.
Portnoy money, because he won more, I think, than the third-place guy at the Masters this week. Well, let me just tell you, as a guy that likes to take points, like you got UConn who's won 12 straight by – they've covered them all, and they've been laying points and all of them for, for a guy who's like, take the plus sign.
You end up with a big minus sign. It's been, I've been on the struggle bus pretty mightily.
I just, I'm just going to tell you important or because you, you guys are apparently printing dough. Yeah.
I mean, we, we had our Scott FaceTimes me like two minutes before the tip off of the first game every year in in march madness like there's nothing better than this and then i think it was a record this year i think it was three hours that you texted me back you're like there's nothing worse than this this is terrible literally well i facetimed it was like 11 53 it was the most and that was like like am i lying big cat i mean there was the joy in both of our like it was sincere joy and there was by the like by the 250 window i'm like it's all it was all a lie it was all a lie and then but you want what are you talking about i know you can i know future i know the uconn uconn saved my tournament i know i know well uconn winning it all made it a bad tournament for me oh so not you know I like I had a total I've had a total 180 on Hurley I thought he was a complete I thought he was a lunatic and he kind of is he is but I love I love him he's the best he's the best because you know what it is college basketball needs those type of guys like that's what college basketball was for so long the Bayhimes the K like these guys that are crazy and yelling at people hurley is the new he's old school like we need someone to to carry the torch but if you think about it honestly like his dad was a legend his brother's bobby hurley and he's like this guy that's kind of a hothead seat hall or whatever and you're like yeah you're that other guy well i mean that's a lot to fight uphill on right and now like and he was honest he came on the show and talked about imposter syndrome and all this stuff and now it's like now i mean i don't we've totally i we've lost the plot here i'm sorry i've talked about that right but you're right but i i really i don't know it's been a fun few weeks uh in sports and um i'm hope i'm happy my house isn't on fire this year and um i'm you know i'll come on again. You only ask once a year.
Yeah, no, you'll come on again. Yeah, we'll do it this summer.
And, by the way, your boy, Steve, he had a great show on at wing night. We do it every Final Four, so you can rest assured that he put down.
He showed up. He showed up big time.
He put down a bunch of wings. Titus did not have a great show.
Titus got beat by the wing. Titus got put on the

three day DL. His tummy hurt.

His tummy hurt real bad.

Real bad. He said on Friday

night, he was like, I beat the

wings because we all went out. And then

on Saturday, he looked like a

ghost. He was sitting on the toilet all

day. Wait, can I ask one

question on the way out? I need PFT

to weigh in on something. If you

have a dinner

and you have a credit card roulette, but one person

and we'll see you next time. day wait can i ask one can i ask one question on the way out i need pft to weigh in on something uh-huh if you if if you have a dinner and you have a credit card roulette but one person leaves before like how what should happen for that like what should be how just how should that be handled among the group that's a good question i think i think their name should go in the hat what if the person and then yeah somebody there covers it and then they have to venmo you back yeah what if also you forgot to mention that the credit card roulette was not said before that person that's true is this a personal thing yeah i want to know that that they didn't bail on the credit card roulette they didn't know it was going to be credit card roulette so that's fair you didn't you but i just in general i love credit card roulette i mean me of all people like you know that i love that like you know all or nothing after a dinner there's nothing better than that so i i i would love but you missed out on you missed out on credit card roulette and you missed out on gipty handing handing out mistakes bugs i mean right under the eye in the sky guess what my kids won't remember of this shit.
They won't remember the time I took a red eye back from Vegas to get there early. That's a good point, though, Scott.
That's probably the most surveilled place in America. Oh, yeah.
Where I did that. You know, I think you're probably not the only dude that did.
And I think, you know what? The catch-all is always, it's fine. Everything's fine.
Everything's fine. Okay, you're fine.
Also, it's not like I have an image to uphold that involves not using drugs. No, I think there's, we just assume that's part and parcel of the whole thing here.
Yeah, if anything, it would have been good for my brand to get arrested. It's the beauty of working for Barstool.
I always tell this story when people are like, oh, it like it's like well maybe it was like 11 years ago Trent who's a

good friend of ours golfer foreplay

pod he got a public

intoxication ticket so he

just didn't show up for work on a Friday

Dave was just mad that he didn't blog his

mugshot right when he got out of jail

that was why he got in trouble he's like why

the fuck didn't you blog it

right if any

place is gonna

benefit from the mugshot

So, let's St. Lunatics.
Yeah. All right.

Scott Van Pelt

is also brought to you by Chevy.

It's Chevy season, baby.

Chevys are awesome. Their trucks are awesome.
As everyone knows, this is a Chevy truck podcast. Chevy trucks are the greatest trucks ever built.
And our good friends over at Chevrolet have been a big part of the part of my take story. From the Silverado helping us dig the biggest hole ever dug in Ohio during grit week, to the Silverado partnering with us to give college fullbacks all the rightful recognition that they deserve with the Lomann Award.
There's a lot of Chevy and Chevy Silverado in this podcast, part of my take. They've been with us for a long time.
Chevy Silverado, longtime awesome partner of the show, a truck with commanding and unstoppable grit, legendary capability and dependability too. So find out for yourself like so many other AWLs, head to Chevy.com, check out all the Chevy truck grit, build your own Silverado and check out what current offers are out there during Chevy truck season for do it yourself projects to road trips, off-road adventures, tailgates, whatever your thing is, it all starts with a Chevy truck.
Okay. Let's wrap up the show with a little NBA talk.
We'll have our guy. We're on.
I think we're having J.J. Redick on soon, too, talking more detail NBA playoffs.
But we have it set. The Celtics are the one seed.
They've been the one seed for like a month. The Thunder are the one seed in the West, the upstart young Thunder who are very, very good.
And then we have some play-in action with the LeBron's got to play in, Steph's got to play in, the Bulls got to play in, the Sixers got to play in against the Heat. So I don't know where you guys want to go.
Do we want to say predictions that are probably stupid and will look dumb? Yeah, I got one. Okay.
I like the magic in the first round. Ooh.
A little small upset there over the Cavs. The Cavs are better at home, so it's good that they got their home court.
Yeah. But, yeah, and also we had home court.
We had seeding drama on Sunday. The Knicks and Tibbs clinched the second seed.
The Bucs maybe were just trying not to get the second seed because the second seed in the East feels like dangerous having to play maybe the – or you'll have to play the Sixers or the Heat, which is a pretty good team in both of them. But also Tibbs will never not play all his starters and play game 82 like it's game seven of the NBA finals.
That's what Tibbs does. I like the Sixers to beat the Heat.
I also like the Sixers to beat the Knicks. And then I like the Sixers to beat the Bucs.
I do actually like that the Knicks tried because I think that you should have some pride and be like, we're not ducking anyone. We're going to try to, you know, we've had a great season.
Let's get home court if we can win this round. We get home court second round, which does matter for the Knicks.
It would be cool, though, if teams could pick who they play. Yeah, because you would not want to play against the Sixers.
Right. And if you did a draft, like the NBA loves ratings and doing new things.
Two new things the NBA should do. They should do a draft of the top four seeds get to pick who they get to play in the first round.
And also there should just be an automatic Wemby makes the playoffs clause. Yeah, he gets added to his – what team would Wemby be the best of his – I want to see him so bad in the playoffs.
He's such a fucking freak, and it's insane. Did you see that game on Friday night when he was just splashing threes and just – He's an alien, and his logo is awesome.
And he should be in the playoffs. We should just make a Wemby gets to be in the playoffs clause in the NBA bylaws.
I agree.

So in the East, I think it's the Celtics.

Congrats, Hank.

Hank, how are you feeling?

I'm excited.

I'm very excited.

Very, very excited.

Championship or bust.

Yeah.

Championship or bust.

In the East, you're going to walk through because Giannis is hurt.

The Knicks are a great season, but I think the Celtics are a better team.

Sixers, you never have to worry about them. The Heat? No.
The Knicks are a great season, but I think the Celtics are a better team.

Sixers, you never have to worry about them.

The Heat?

No.

No.

I mean, I would like to beat the Heat just for the storyline's sake,

but I'm not concerned about them.

I think we would roll.

So there's no one that worries you. I don't even want to waste time with the fucking Bulls or 76ers.

I hope that the play-ins work out where we don't have to play one of you guys because it's just going to be a pointless... Wait, you...
Hold on. Back up.
The 76ers and Bulls are not exactly on the same level. In this, in terms of opponents of the Celtics.
But the Bulls are not good. Neither are the 76ers.
The 76ers are 76ers. The Sixers are good.
The Sixers are in this spot because Joel Embiid missed two months. The Bulls are in this spot because they're not a very good team better winning percentage than the Celtics when Embiid and Maxie both play whoa oh is that true what's that like five games yep is it no it's like 32 games oh that's yeah no the Sixers it's an 82 game season the guys fucking so you just lumped the Bulls and the Sixers in the same spot.
I'm going to say no, that's not true. I'm just saying in terms of the show and you guys doing the whole, like, ooh, what if the Sixers...
Well, no, the Bulls are not going to lose... The Bulls are not going to lose the Sixers.
The Bulls aren't going to win anything. Neither will the Sixers.
I, like, I'd be... If the Bulls win the play-in, great, but I also hate Jerry Reinsdorf so much I don't want him to pretend that they made the playoffs the sixers are a problem i'm just gonna say it i i agree with max for max no the sixers are a problem for you because i i think would that not be the worst i think the sixers could beat the knicks and i think they could beat the bucks because doc rivers is pulling a major doc rivers right now we might not have ever seen a doc rivers perform at such a high doc rivers level as he's done this year.
The Bucs are not a good team right now. We might not have ever seen a Doc Rivers perform at such a high Doc Rivers

level as he's done this year.

The Bucs are not a good team right now.

The Sixers are really good.

Yeah, and Giannis.

How late would you sleep in if the Sixers beat the Celtics?

The entire summer.

8-1, too.

So you don't want this?

See what I'm saying when you said we don't want to do the thing with the Bulls and Sixers?

I think one's a little different

than the other.

I guess, but it would just be

a... You would not want...

Give me to the finals. This is championship

contending teams. First round, just

second round, dominate, get to Eastern Conference

finals.

As the one seed, you do not want to see the Sixers

as the eight. Like, at all.

I guess.

Yeah, I don't think it really matters. But the Sixers are for sure better than the Bulls.
Like, you would win in four against the Bulls without even having to play your guys. I think we'd win in four against you guys? No way.
Sounds like a sweet bet to me. Wow.
So the Sixers need to beat the Heat. Explain it again to me because I forget every single year how the 7, 8, 9, 10 playing system works.
So how would the Sixers end up being able to be the 8 seed? If they lose to the Heat on Wednesday night and then they beat the Hawks or the Bulls. Okay.
So the Bulls and the Hawks, and then on the other side, the Kings and the Warriors cannot get higher than the eighth seed. Right.
The Bulls can't get to the seventh seed. The Warriors can't get to the seventh seed.
It's the winner of the seven, eight becomes a seventh seed, and then they have to play the winner of the nine, ten, and that's to decide the eighth seed. Right.
So we're rooting for the Heat to beat the Sixers, and then the Sixers to beat the Hawks or the Bulls. Correct.
And then they get to eighth. Although I'll be rooting for the Bulls if they play the Sixers.
I will. Sorry, Max.
Because that would also be very funny if the Sixers just didn't even make the playoffs. I honestly wouldn't hate that.
I would just be like, all right, fine. I don't have to.
I thought no one wants to see the Sixers right now. The Sixers don't even want to see the Sixers.
That just flipped. No, that won't happen.
You're basically right in the back. You're essentially right back into the Big East tournament.
Kind of. No, but the Sixers are good.
No, it's totally different. Didn't he just get hurt like two nights ago? Yeah, but he finished that game.

Okay, the West. And he dropped like 34 in like 20 minutes.
Okay, the West. The West is more.
The West is basically you could be like the Thunder are really, really good, but they're too young. So I was thinking about this.
They are young, but everyone's saying they're too young. They might be too young to know how young they are.
But the NBA is kind of the one league where it does feel like you've got to take your lumps.

You know, all the championship teams had their lumps.

They took their lumps.

Then they climbed back up, got over the mountain.

I'm not saying that. Yeah, no, I agree, though.

I'm not saying that.

It is just the two young.

Like, they're really good.

I'm not saying they get to the finals.

And SGA's awesome. They can win a couple series, and we're going to have this conversation, I predict, in three weeks where it's like nobody told the Thunder they weren't supposed to win this series.
They're not too young now. Yeah, exactly.
So you're too young until you prove that you're not. I like the Nuggets a lot.
I think it's theirs to lose. It seems like we're on a crash hell celtics nuggets there's no you can't defend against the nuggets when they're playing like you can't when when yokich is even having like a b game or like a c plus game all it takes is one of the other guys to step up a little bit and he's just such a problem to solve especially if you're trying to defend them and when they get going on the pick and roll like there's no there's no real way to stop them yeah so feel like the Nuggets and the Celtics are just kind of both inevitable.
Yeah, it feels like the entire West is just basically health because the Nuggets have dealt with injuries. It's health and the two young thunder.
Nuggets have dealt with injuries. Carl Anthony Towns is coming back.
The Clippers are always injured. I like the Mavs.
The Mavs have been playing great. The Suns are always injured.
It's just who can stay healthy. And then LeBron.
And then LeBron. I would like to see LeBron in the playoffs.
Of course. I would also like to see LeBron not make the playoffs.
That also would. Either way.
Yeah. Both ways would be funny.
So what do we have for the finals? Nuggets versus Celtics? Nuggets-Celtics. Nuggets over Celtics in five.
I'm going to go Celtics over Suns. Oh, because you don't want the Nuggets.
Yeah, you're scared. In five.
You're like Embiid. You're afraid of Jokic.
What are we going to do about this bet? I, if the listeners are going to show, know I parlayed Scotty Scheffler and the Nuggets to win the title. I now have the Nuggets to win the title at 21-1.

We are going to table this conversation until May 20th,

which is the start of the conference finals.

I'll cash out right now in your face.

Which is the start of the conference finals.

Then we can have a discussion.

I'll cash out right now because I love you so much.

I think that would be dumb to cash out right now because it might not matter.

Okay.

All right.

May 20th.

So you have –

Reminder.

You have Nuggets over – or you have Celtics over Suns. In how.
May 20th. So you have...
Reminder. You have Nuggets over...

Or you have Celtics over Suns.

In how many games?

Five.

You're in Fantasyland.

I have Nuggets.

Yeah.

I have Nuggets Mavericks Western Conference Final.

Max Homo.

Did you hear his quote?

What did he say?

When things are going bad, I try not to think about what's going bad.

I try and dream about what could happen.

You did a lot of dreaming recently.

I am dreaming. Jokic is Scotty

Scheffler?

I'm just dreaming about

not having to play the Nuggets

and just dominating the Suns in five.

That's what I'm dreaming about. Okay.
Yeah, I mean

with injuries, it could happen.

Anything could happen in the playoffs.

Anything could happen. That's the beauty of the playoffs.

Alright, so you have Nuggets over Celtics in fiveeltics in five okay i have nuggets over celtics in seven max uh sixers over clippers in six okay nice we will do a full nba uh preview when we when we get the full play-in games i'm excited for the play-in game i mean what i think is going to happen in the West, we're going to see Lakers-Warriors in a play-in game.

Oh, so the Lakers would lose and the Warriors would win.

Yeah, for the ratings.

For the ratings.

Yeah, the Kings have been sliding back and they're not.

We're not lighting the beam this year.

No, we're not.

They also have this like, they have like a couple guys

and then everyone else is like, ooh, who's that?

Yeah.

Not so great. Yeah, okay.
We're ready for the is like, ooh, who's that? Yeah. Not so great.

Yeah, okay.

We're ready for the NBA playoffs.

Hank, championship or bust?

This is Hank's mood for the rest of the summer is going to be reliant on.

Would the mood?

I feel like the mood would be really bad if you guys lost to the Sixers

or you lost in the Eastern Conference Final.

Would the mood be bad if you went to the finals?

Yes.

It was like, okay.

Bad mood. Well, it's just if you went to the finals? Yes.
Bad mood.

We're just on mood watch.

That's why I need to cash out.

I don't want

a mad

Hank all summer is not worth it.

Here's the thing. If the Celtics

do win the championship,

Hank's mood is going to be

equally bad just in the opposite direction. He's going to walk around like he's better oh yeah yeah he's going to think he's better than hank tried to claim today that he no one has had as many losses tortured losses as him and max just rattled off like these losses in the last 12 months that hank just stopped was like okay maybe you yeah he did that like being a Boston sports fan is so hard.
Yeah, no, Max is a way bigger loser. I forgot.
It is so funny how this podcast has really worked out that it's just like PFTN are such losers that like... It doesn't phase us.
It doesn't even sniff it. We're such big losers that we're not even losers anymore.
It's like non-fact. I don't even get mad.
You were like, Big Cat kept saying you would make this bet in a heartbeat. I said, you would never have a team that has this much of a favor to win a championship.
Yeah, talk to me in two weeks when I get Cale Williams. Talk to me in two weeks then.
Oh, dude, Hank, you're going to hate us so much when we have two elite quarterbacks and we win for the next 15 years. Statistically speaking, we're both going to have elite quarterbacks.
Really good, yeah. It's going to change.
The entire course of the podcast is going to change. Yeah, this is title town.
This desk right now. How many NFC championships do you think we'll match up in? Between the two of us? Probably like five or six.
I'd say five of the next six. It's going to be incredible.
It's going to be like Seahawks 49ers going back and and forth. We'll buy our tickets for it at the start of every season.
Oh, man. I hope it happens.
No, you don't. You just want to win and watch us lose.
You don't even want us to be good enough to have heartbreaking losses. No, just give me basketball.
You guys can have football. Give Hank basketball and Marvin Harrison.
And hockey. I'll take take hockey too.
Yeah. All right.
Well, yeah, we're going to have Whitney or Biz on. The thing about Marvin Harrison Jr.
also, he's going to want to get the fuck out of New England so fast if he doesn't have a quarterback. Well, he's going to ask for a second contract like the first day.
You ready to give it to him? You got to watch the tape. You don't.
Can't you? You have to wait till your work deal's up. I do i do i will back hank up on this um hank is doing something that i do all the time in sports i think we all do it you see one guy one time live yeah and he's just the greatest player but he saw marvin harrison against wisconsin camp randall and he ran across the entire field for uh and caught like a four yard pass then took it to the house for a touchdown and at that moment Hank was like this is the greatest wide receiver ever and I completely back you up because when if I see someone do something live it's so like I've said it before but I I thought Luke Kennard was going to be the greatest NBA player ever because he dribbled behind his back as a lefty and I I was like, this guy's fucking insane.
I mean, Marvin Harrison is awesome.

Yeah.

He's how he is.

And Jacoby Brissett can make that throw.

But if he had gone to an LSU game this year, he would be like neighbors.

Yeah.

Well, yeah.

Anthony Edwards.

I mean, not Anthony Edwards.

Anthony Richardson.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That was another one.

You were kind of right on that.

Yeah.

All right.

So?

So you are a scout.

Give me Marvin Harrison. I'm backing you up.
All right. Numbers.
40. 20.
8. 3.
56. 18.
99, Pug. Are we never going to address the 72, 73? Oh, we should probably talk about that real quick.
Oh, yeah. Brooks.
So he zoned out, didn't get 72, and then shot 73-73 the first two days.

And what number did he get?

73.

For his score.

So he's got to focus on – he's got to focus.

It's actually our fault, though, because we should have had the lottery ball pick like 68,

and then he would have been great.

Yeah.

And he would have won the Masters. Yeah.
All right, what were the numbers again? Say them again. 40.
20. 30.
18. I just want to hear Pug say again.
99, Pug. Pug, how was your farmer's home dinner? Delicious, Pug.
We were ordering dinner, and you just texted back, and you're like, I got my own food cause your stomach ailments and I was like yeah he just he eats farmer's dog everyday special food from the vet pug alright 56 99 99 pointsug 99 Pug Let's go Pug A two time winner Get Pug in here Go Go Go Pug get in there Yes that's 99 That's not 66 right No it's 99 Took me a second I was like Get in there Get in here Pug Let's go Pug I don't think the people have seen the podcast. You can see him from the booth.
Oh, true, true. Literally.
Put the solo blue jacket on him. All right, well, memes got you there.
Memes just snapped it, Hank. One of the greatest rivalries in part of my case is memes versus Hank that we need to do like a documentary.
Maybe when we have a slow PMTV week. Best day of memes of life was Thursday.
We should do a Hank memes telling of the rivalry. 24-7 Hank versus memes.
Pug, how do you feel? Two-time winner? Nope, your mic's not on. Oh, there we go.
It's on. No, it's unbelievable.
I'm just happy to be here, lucky to be here. You and Scotty Sheffler.
Who said that? Who did say that? Yeah. Pug.
Okay. So two-time winner like Scotty Scheffler.
What are you going to do with winning second time? I don't know. Maybe just go to the vet again.
Some people are saying you're a system dog, that you can only win on 99. Are you going to switch from 99 or are you going to stick with the system? Good question.
question i actually i thought about it after the first one and a lot of people were saying it would be phony to switch from 99 so also the merch yeah true that would really affect things buy a shirt i'm gonna go buy a shirt they're great shirts i don't think we ever put those out we should put them out we gotta put them out now personally just we never put those out i don't think we ever they're like the best designed shirts we've ever made i don't think we ever put them out yeah now we're gonna have designed shirts we've ever made. I don't think we ever put them out.
Now we're going to have to. What? Now we have to drop them Pug.
Yeah, there we go. Okay.
Well, you didn't say Pug after the last one. Okay, well.
Pug. So, Pug, last question.
Rollback question. Are you a little worried because I think this is the week we're getting Mr.
Pair? So we're going to have a pug and a pear. Yeah.

Sounds like a podcast.

We should just have pug just talking,

interviewing Mr. Pear once a week.

No, I mean, I'm fine with it.

I'm excited to meet him.

And, you know, I think it'll be good for the show.

Yeah.

Don't try to eat him.

It's good for the show.

Yeah.

Yeah, don't swallow him.

No guarantees.

Is there anybody that you'd like to thank?
