Today is Wednesday, April 10th, and the UConn Huskies have their sixth national title, an absolute domination, back-to-back, 12 games in a row against the spread, 12 games, double digits.
Dan Hurley is at the top of college basketball. The most dominant stretch in postseason play of any team ever.
It was crazy. The best run of any team ever.
I think we could say UConn dominated everybody. The games were not particularly exciting.
Nope. UConn, I think they're the best second half team in the entire tournament by a vast margin.
But it felt like it might be close a little bit in the first half when Zach was superhuman. And he played awesome in the first half.
He was the best player on the court by far. He was dunking on people.
The were falling he did look a little bit uh like it was he was seeing something new when Klingon was playing defense on him yeah he would turn around he'd do that that fast pivot and he'd be like I'm not used to having a guy's shoulder right here and a guy's hand right here where my hand is but he was still making his shots he just got exhausted he got exhausted and UConn uh they have great players and they are so well coached through this two-year run where you saw right away it was clear, and Dan Hurley said this after the game. He was like, we were going to let Zach Eadie get his points, and we were going to let him score 20, 30.
He ended up scoring, what, 37? Did he score 37? I believe so. 37.
He was like, but we're going to make him work for it, and if the rest of their team is held to 20 or less there is no way that they can beat us and that was exactly what they did they were so aggressive on the perimeter face guarding I mean Purdue shot the three all year long I think they had seven three-point attempts like they had two in the first half so it was very clear besides Zach Eadie the only other Purdue Boilermaker who really came to play was Braden Smith.

And, you know, Lawyer was completely taken out of the game.

Gillis was taken out of the game.

So it was UConn.

It was very similar to the Iowa game on Sunday where it was like

they have a great player, Purdue, and Zach Eadie who is a great,

great college basketball player.

UConn's team is so good and so well balanced.

And even like their guards just rebounding, like they all were,

I think that's a good question. who is a great, great college basketball player.
UConn's team is so good and so well-balanced.

And even their guards just rebounding, they all were – Cam Spencer was awesome.

I think their entire starting five had over five rebounds.

The team effort that it takes and the team defense.

And even in the second half when Klingon got in foul trouble

and it was like, ooh, this could be a little nerve-wracking,

Dan Hurley adjusted, even when Klingon was in the game, started doubling in the second half when Klingon got in foul trouble and it was like, ooh, this could be a little nerve-wracking. Like, Dan Hurley adjusted, started, even when Klingon was in the game,

started doubling in the post.

Zach Eadie would throw it out.

Guess what?

Those guys haven't taken shots all game.

They're not in a rhythm.

They weren't making anything.

And they just suffocated him and stepped on him.

And Dan Hurley said it perfectly after the game.

We won by a lot again.

Yeah.

And Dan Hurley also played some great defense on his own player.

Yeah. When he went on the court.
He just lost his mind. he went on the court he just lost his mind he went on the court he was like i need cam to move two feet on there step steps on pushes cam and then he looks at the ref like what would i do yeah why are you calling a foul on me like why that's not technical yeah i'm allowed to that's my player blacked out i can shove my own player if i want to that's how danny hurley tells players that he loves him yeah and we i mean we we love danny hurley i know he's not for everyone we'll get to that especially greg doyle uh yeah indy star we'll get to that in a second but i want to talk about the game a couple more things the um the yeah the team like watching a team like yukon throughout this two-year run and they they lost 75 of their scoring from last year really is a crazy thing to see, and you saw even some of the clips that people were posting of Dan Hurley talking about, like, when we go to the transfer portal, it's just as much about a player's family and, like, what type of, like, makeup they have, and we don't want guys who are jumping from school to school every year, and they've just figured it out.
Like, this is a time in college basketball where we're in a weird transition where every school is trying to figure out the transfer portal and NIL and all these things, and UConn just did it before everyone else. And now Danny Hurley's press conference after the Villanova loss in 2020 might go down as one of the coolest, most badass clips of all time when he said, get us now because we're coming and you're not going to get us later.
And that was after they lost to Villanova in 2020. And now they sit atop the throne.
And I don't know, like, going three-peat would be insane, but I also think that what they've got rolling right now and their coaching staff and their system, I wouldn't put it past them. I would not bet against UConn next year.
Danny Hurley seems to have it all figured out. His son got in the game again.
Yeah. Andrew Hurley got in there.
What's their record now? 43? 43-0. 43-0 when Andrew Hurley plays in a game.
He wanted to shoot the ball so bad. His dad was yelling at him, like, don't do it.
He was rocking that pivot foot. Yeah.
And then he turned the ball over because over because he's the designated turnover guy yeah when they need to not shoot at the end of games and let the shot clock run out so he got another turnover i wanted him to shoot so bad so that was where i think greg doyle decided he was going to write his article because we couldn't see it but he was sitting pretty close and he's apparently matt painter was basically telling andrew hurley go ahead and shoot like shoot shoot shoot and so greg doyle was like wow that was a really classy move by matt painter greg doyle also admitted that he had never he was like i don't watch a lot of yukon is he always this much of an ass that's what denny hurley does he is and he admits he's an ass and also andrew hurley gets into every he's been into every single tournament game and he's done the same thing every time so. So that's just what they do.
They stomp on you, and then he comes in and closes out. But Greg Doyle afterwards wrote an article that was titled, On the Biggest Stage, Purdue Showed Nation What Indiana Already Knows, Boilers Are All Class, While Dan Hurley Was Really Just Kind of an Ass.
Probably the salt saltiest article I've ever read I actually paid for the subscription to read it it was essentially just

like a thousand two thousand words of him saying Matt Painter you really learn a lot about guys in

the final four and what Matt Painter showed we should all be so proud of and Dan Hurley is a

monster and a terrible guy and Greg Doyle you should just stop writing and stop covering sports

Thank you. in the final four and what Matt Painter showed, we should all be so proud of.
And Dan Hurley is a monster and a terrible guy. And Greg Doyle, you should just stop writing and stop covering sports because guess what? You know what people like to watch? They like to watch people win and win in ways that Dan Hurley's doing.
And he shows his emotion and he's not a fucking robot and he's the new face of college basketball. It was a thousand words to say, I didn't watch college basketball for the last three seasons.
Yeah, pretty much. That's what he did.
He's like, is this guy always – is this his normal – yes, that's what Danny Hurley does. But his players like him.
That's the big thing. If you're an ass like that and your players don't like you, you don't play hard for your coach, then that can be a problem.
But if your players like you and you're intense and they get it, then you can do really awesome things, which UConn has done. And we talked a little bit on Monday's show about what a dream run you must have if you're a yukon fan who is also a boston sports fan yeah which half the state probably is somebody sent this to me uh this is awl sabermetrics he was born in 1991 he's a boston sports fan and he's a yukon fan he's had six Super Bowls four World Series Jesus a Stanley Cup an NBA championship six men's titles and 11 women's titles since he's been born sports must kick so much ass don't forget the 2011 Fiesta Bowl of course they did go to a Fiesta Bowl of great how many civil conflicts have you won yeah they well that was when they there was that little blip where they gave the big east an automatic bcs bowl yeah and they won that year i think that was dan or lof no that might not have been dan or lofsky's year i don't know who was on that team but they went to a fiesta bowl yeah just just a dream run you life is so good if you're that person yeah you want a crazy crazy Imagine just being told that you're better than everybody at least once a year.
Yeah, and you're just like, oh, even if you never win another one, you had that run. Yeah.
That's insane. And he probably will win more.
But here's a crazy wild stat for UConn. This is from a way too worthy on Twitter.
UConn has missed 32% of the NCAA tournaments played since 1999. UConn has

won 24% of the NCAA

tournaments played since 1999.

That's like, they go,

they've never lost a championship game. They've been

to seven Final Fours, six national titles.

It's crazy. Jim Calhoun

has built something that he passed to

Kevin Olley, don't forget Kevin Olley, and then passed

to Dan Hurley, and it's

nuts. I mean, they're

the class. They have more national titles than

I'm going to go. Danny Hurley.
I like Danny Hurley. I think he's a funny guy.
I think he gets super intense on the court, and then he immediately afterwards is like,

okay, I got a little carried away there.

Yeah.

I'm going to try to work on it.

And he tries to work on it a little bit, but it's still going to come out.

Yeah.

That's just who he is. And he had a great line when they asked about Kentucky.

He was just like, I just started making money.

I don't want to get divorced.

Yeah.

He said, ask my wife about that.

It's a great coach line just being like, listen, I'm the head coach of the basketball team.

She's the head coach of the family.

They did show his wife after the game.

Respect.

Again.

Jake, you were on the floor.

What did you think?

I was.

It was a tremendous experience.

Very fortunate to be able to do those types of things.

Third straight year and second straight year interviewing Dan Hurley on the court after he cuts down the net. Can we be honest about something though jake yeah critique me as much as you want no not you not you uh the tournament grade the tournament yeah i i give this tournament probably a d yeah it wasn't the best tournament but like it's still the tournament yeah yeah i agree it was a tournament yeah so like we're not gonna look back and say this was a great tournament, but in the moment, these three weeks, I still enjoy them as much as I do every year.
The story is not the tournament this year. It's that UConn went back to back.
Yeah. That's really what it is because we didn't have all these moments that maybe we look back and be like, oh, my God, it was crazy.
It was chaotic. NC State run obviously comes to mind.
But UConn, Golki, but UConn was the story. I also will just say to the AWLs who may be listening to this, who are Houston fans, I do think we were robbed of that because I do not think Houston would have beaten UConn, but I think Houston was the second-best team, and that's no offense to Purdue, but Purdue had an incredible run.
They silenced a lot of the haters, getting bounced in terrible fashion the last few years. Zach Eadie is an all-time college basketball player.
They just ran up against a team that was that much better than everyone else. Yeah.
Zach Eadie is like, when you bought a basketball video game when you were a kid, and you get to create a player, he's exactly the player that you would create. Just like a huge guy, and you're like, I'm going to make a dude that's going to dunk all over everybody.
And then you dominate. You're loving the game.
And then playing against UConn is like when you level up the difficulty. The first game that you do that and you're like, oh, shit, this is kind of hard.
You come out, you still get your points, but nothing was easy after the first half for Edie. it's not like a you you can never feel good about losing the national championship game but i think if you're a purdue fan you can at least take solace in that like what has happened in the last three years you had a very like you had an incredible run that made a lot of memories again it doesn't this doesn't help right now because it's still fresh but it if purdue had begun back if purdue had not gotten to the Sweet 16, it would have been way worse.
He'd rather lose the national championship game. As much as it might hurt right now, you guys had a great season, a great run.
And Zach Eadie will go down as one of the best college basketball players. And I think the tide kind of turned where he's like, people were like, you know what? Let's maybe stop.
Maybe that's because i don't have to deal with him anymore i i loved it when he was yelling at people when he was screaming at dudes hanging on the rim yeah he showed a lot of fight he didn't have that fire in years past and this was it was cool to see and he was dominant he's probably gonna be on the canadian olympic team so we might not be done with zach edie just yet and actually i think i don't know i'm not an nba scout but feel like the way that he played against UConn, he looked so good in that first half that there will be a team that wants to take a chance. He'll be drafted for sure.
He'll probably be drafted in the first round. Someone will take a shot at it and just be like, you know, see if we can work with this.
We also had, because it wasn't enough that all the women's former players or current players went after Caitlin Clark. Draymond Green decided to chime in with.
He said he quit. He quit.
He said, job well done, 35. You did your job tonight.
It was him that made Edie quit with about 19 minutes to go in the second half. There was a turnover, and I saw Edie body language walking back.
He was done. Now rewatch the game from that point on.
Hashtag free game. I don't know, man.
Zach Edie was playing his balls off, and no one else was helping him. And also, Draymond Green, you've quit a lot.
Yeah, and also Eadie was probably exhausted because he had another big man that was just leaning on him for an entire half. He wasn't used to having a big dude like that just pushing him around all the time.
So I think he just got tired. He got tired.
And no one made shots. UConn's plan was – I mean, you saw it.
They were just, they're like, all right, we'll let him go one-on-one in the post in the first half, and we will make sure they were face guarding everyone being like, you're not going to get the ball back. Heidi made a shot.
Heidi made an awesome shot. Heidi came from nowhere.
I have Heidi number one on my NBA draft big board right now just for that put-back dunk. That was incredible.
I saw that. I was like, why wasn't that guy starting? Yeah.
And Klingon did shoot a three. He did.
Fanta was so close. Oh, Johnny Fanta.
What a moment that would have been. Oh, would have been incredible.
But yeah, overall, not the best tournament, but UConn. We got to witness greatness.
Yeah. Shout out greatness.
I mean, the fact they did it double digits. And again, I know not everyone gambles, but 12-0 against the spread is so insane because they make the lines to make it so that it will be 50 50 yeah and they just it was just free money the entire two-year stretch it's crazy did you guys see the all tournament team they announced it right after the game who's on it zach edie yeah donovan clingen stefan castle tristan newton cam spencer okay oh like what if you put Zach Eady on UConn? That was literally how dominant would they be.
Poor Alex Caravan. Yeah.
Yeah. The only starter.
He played well too. They all played well.
Yeah. Yeah.
This is crazy. You never see that where it's just first team is literally UConn.
It's like a castle is awesome. Yeah.
It's like Tristan Newton like – he went to East Carolina, was not looked at at all out of El Paso, went to East Carolina. I think his coach got fired and then goes to UConn and wins back-to-back most valuable player in the Final Four.
Crazy, awesome story. Jake, that's like when the Pistons had, I think, five all-star – or maybe not the starters, but they had five all-stars, and for a period during the all-star game, they had all five.
So it was the Pistons against the Western Conference all-stars. That was like the Rip Hamilton, Sean T.
Phillips. The five of them started.
Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace. I was thinking about this too.
Rip Hamilton was there. Yeah, Rip Hamilton was there.
And Ray Allen, yeah. And there's some guys who you could be like, oh, they built it.
You know, Ray Allen didn't win a title, but he helped build it. Cliff Robinson, I think, was there.
He helped build it. Okafor.
Okafor won a title. Rudy Gay.
Rudy Gay, I feel like that has to suck. Because that was one of the teams that was supposed to win a title.
Lost to George Mason. It's like...
Ben Gordon won, right? Ben Gordon won, yeah. But you have the guys that built the program that you're like okay that makes you know in the 90s with jim calhoun like to me go ryan yeah and then just like okay uh yeah you're here yeah it's brotherhood they please please yukon don't do like a brotherhood weird stupid thing like that yeah they'll be okay with that one it was funny also seeing bill murray spooning with jim calhoun yeah i think he's probably the only dude that could spoon with calhoun without Calhoun punching him in the face.
Yeah. Luke Murray said that he's going to stay.
Yeah. I feel like he would get a job, but it's probably so much fun.
Winning. Winning.
Winning everything. Winning all the time.
Inviting Calhoun onto the stage was really cool. Yes.
He's the architect. He built the whole thing.
Of Calhoun and Danny Hurley holding the trophy. Yeah.
They had to like, you know, they were, I think it was, I might be speaking out of a term, but I'm pretty sure when the Big East was created, like UConn kind of had to beg to get in because they didn't really fit into the whole, you know, their state school and they didn't have the history. It's weird that they left for the AAC.
I know. That's such a weird era.
Football fucked everything. And yeah, they're back at the Big East.
They had the Big East commissioner cut the game. Yeah, Val Ackerman.
Yeah. So what happens if UConn wins a third in a row? Because right afterwards, right after the game was over, they immediately started saying, yeah, I think we can win a third.
And I think that they can. Yeah.
At that point, they become UConn women's team. Yeah, they're bad for basketball.
Ten years ago. They're bad for basketball.
Yep. And then at that that point if you win three in a row i feel like

the nba would just toss a shitload of money at hurley yeah although i think he's just i think

he's gonna get a new contract i mean so we can talk about it he's gonna have to get a new contract

and i think he is he does want to stay i think he will stay it's just about like if they offer him

seven mil and then kentucky comes in with like 12 mil yeah i still think he would stay though i do I do too.

He,

uh,

so,

so, so, so, so, so. He, uh, so, so Cal officially said that he's going to Arkansas.
Uh, he posted the grainiest video ever, which was very funny. He also had on Monday, a reporter found him walking his dog with his dog stroller.
I think the dog was not in the stroller um and it was very it was just the most ridiculous video because cal is like the center of all conversation in college basketball and he's walking on a public street and he's like i'm just walking my dog can you leave me alone yeah it might be the most i think it's the most sec video ever yeah and he's just he's using his dog as a shield against the media it's like jimbo with the food with the christmas yeah we're walking i'm walking my dog here of course i can't talk to you yeah so then the next day he goes home he's like okay i do need to make a video and issue a statement so he has the same camera that they used to film bigfoot coming to his living room they videotaped him saying bye to big blue nation and then he deleted it after like five minutes because everybody was roasting what a bad video it was which is a genius move yeah because now no one's mad at coach cow for leaving kentucky they're just making fun of how shitty his camera right so like a 500 iq play yes by coach cow yeah he did yeah he he should have done a video like this is actually for anyone who's has to leave a place and under weird circumstances like maybe do the video and just don't have audio first. Yeah, make it as bad as possible.
Yeah, so he's gone. He deleted, he re-uploaded.
He's not a one-and-done guy after all, and the new video is crystal clear. Yeah, and so we had Nate Oates say that he's out.
Billy Donovan kind of said he's out. Danny Hurley has sort of said he's out.
So it looks like maybe Scott Drew.

Scott Drew would make a lot of sense.

He did build that program from less than scratch.

Yes.

He brought it back from the death.

He had the death penalty.

Yeah.

So it feels like Scott Drew is going to be the name.

Although, again, it's college sports,

so any coach saying they're out doesn't mean anything at all.

You know who hasn't said that he's out? Who? oh patina he's not out he's still in she got to go back to actually he's still in word he might he might pull out later but he's he's in right now it'd be great what was his biggest regret when he came on the show yeah kentucky kentucky kentucky he won so many there although i love patino in the ital, he's good for the sport. He's in the Italian League.
Is Danny Hurley making the Big East less Italian? I don't know. He's got kind of Italian energy.
He's a shorter guy, fiery. Yeah.
Yeah. Max Honorary? No, yeah.
He has Italian vibes. Also, it was really nice hearing everyone say four of eight.
Oh, yeah. Villanova.
Yeah, because you don't get the four of eight without the cash. That's true.
But this has to hurt because it's just they have become what you were. Four of eight.
Well, but then, no, because they had a lull, too. They won those two.
No, I said they have become what you were. Yeah, but.
But we're in present tense right now. Correct.
But we're just, we're going to get back. Okay.
We're going to get back. So that answers my question, that he knows they have become what Villanova was, and that hurts.
And now you have to deal with, you have to deal with Villanova every year. You have to deal with old Villanova.
Yeah. That sucks.
Yeah, no. And then there was another thing on like Nova Twitter being like fuck because we 18 was like the best team of all time yeah so now it's like no it's it's tough well statistically this is this is the best team of all time well you know what the funniest thing is the I think the highest ken palm rated team of all time was actually 99 duke who lost to uconn yeah but that doesn't i mean well i'm just saying like they don't know i'm saying they beat the best team of all time and they've also yeah they i think would they outscore their opponents by like 140 or something something ridiculous so yeah tough max can you imagine if they get cooper flag flip? Get that Providence Twitter shit going on.
It is funny watching people. You sure? The flip.
The flip. The flip.
Oh, yeah. They really want to interview Kim English.
Yeah, we're going to have to do that. We will do that.
But Cooper. It also is crazy.
For America, Cooper. I don't think Cooper Flagg understands how much America is going to hate him at Duke.
Yes. Just flip a lot.
Just flip Cooper. A lot.
It also is crazy that everyone just keeps talking. UConn, they literally return nobody.
But they still have just as good of a chance as anyone. Yeah, because they'll find someone.
And they'll return a couple guys. No.
D.R. is...
Their sixth man is the only one who has any eligibility left. No.
Trton definitely does right i don't i don't know

i was looking at caravan definitely does so you're you're living in fantasy land i don't know i was looking it up online that said that dr was the only one that had any eligibility was this like a was you found someone who told you exactly what you wanted to caravan's a sophomore caravan's a sophomore samson johnson's a junior samson johnson might come back pull a brawny tr Tristan Newton is a senior, but let's see. He might have a COVID year.
No, he's played in five seasons. So he probably doesn't.
But who knows? And I wouldn't be shocked if Cam Spencer tries to take it to court to play another year because he's just like, I want to be. He's going to be, you know, we make fun of Rico for succession plans.
Cam Spencer will be the succession plan at UConn. Yeah, he's just going to go immediately.
In 10 years, he'll just be the coach. Yeah.
So yeah, that's tough that you were wrong. Carabans is the only one I was wrong on.
Okay. That's a big piece.
Yeah, I mean, that's the fifth guy in there. Donovan Klingin could come back.
No, he's not going to. He's not going to be a tough castle.
But he's not going to. Castle could come back.
But they're not going to. What if the NIL has changed everything? No.
Both of them are going to be top 10 picks. I'm just saying, what if the nil has changed everything no the both of them are gonna be top 10 picks i'm just saying what if the nil has changed everything yeah uh all right anything else cling kong cling kong yeah kong shirts nil money goes to donovan clingen yeah i showed him on the court i showed him the picture of the shirt and he said that's awesome well i hope he had seen it but you see yeah also yeah yeah also uh credit to dan hurley for crediting us yeah yeah thank you for that video jake anytime he makes it he's welcome to come on put that on a shirt cash it in brother brother yeah brother yeah i botched that yeah that's okay you did a good job jake uh all right anything else before you do hot seat cool throne then get some masters oh yeah there's in college basketball.
Avila is in the transfer portal. Yes.
Yeah, but they're saying he's going straight to St. Louis to follow his shirts.
Apparently in the portal you can put like a red exclamation point, which means you can't contact the player. So why is he in the portal? Because he's going to St.
Louis. You have to formally do it to transfer.
Oh, he already knows. If you mark yourself, you can't be contacted.
I don't like that. I just wanted a couple weeks of every team just thinking about the Vila photoshops that could be out there.
Yeah, would have been nice. Alright, let's do Hot Seat Cool Throne.

Let's just see. I would love to.
Let's open up the last day. I'm really good at this calendar.
I'm going to miss March. I always get a little sad.
Thank God we have the masters right after. Here we go.
Let's go one more. One in the middle.
Make it a challenge. Home stretch starts now.
Optimism can be hard to come by. So today we're providing a little perspective.

Now you can always tell yourself my glass is half full

even when your bracket is a totally empty dumpster

somehow going up in flames.

Look at this.

Oh, it looks like it's half full.

Look at this cute little pint glass here.

You definitely picked the easiest one that you think you're going to go.

Pick a number, bitch.

The last one.

Pick a number, bitch.

This tournament we remembered for UConn's dominance and the calendar's dominance over PX alright look away look away got it it's a koozie reversible sleeve knows that nothing celebrates a win better than a beer it also knows nothing saves a loss better than a beer now whatever happens you'll be ready to represent with chill and I got a koooozie. Hooray, I won on the koozie.
Was that clean enough for you, Max? That was pretty good. Yeah.
That's right. That's right.
All right, Hank. Hot seat, cool throne.
My hot seat is, I guess I don't really, should I reverse my hot seat or just go with it? Reverse, reverse. Okay.
What was your hot seat going to be? It was going to be max, but it's kind of a cool throne, and my hot seat was kind of us, but it could be a hot seat. It's a switcheroo.
So my hot seat is us. We're still in the third dimension.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, you were wrong.
I was kind of looking forward to it, so it was going to be cool throne, but I kind of was hoping we were in the fourth dimension. Eclipse sucked.
Overrated Eclipse. Well, we were in a bad spot for it.
But I think everyone, the consensus, even the people that were in the zone of magicness. I will remember the Eclipse as the video of the guy's ball sacks.
Yeah, that's funny. So that was Mike, our security guard, sent it to me.
I sent it to everyone in my phone. He then tweeted it.
And think i saw a mexican uh news station actually put it on air by accident yeah that video rocked and they were just mortified by looking at the ball sacks but yeah we were not in the the zone of totality is that what's called the path of totality totality uh but i did have a particle physicist reached out to me uh last night and they were talking about Hank's performance on the podcast on Monday and all the things that Hank got wrong.

And apparently this physicist wants to turn the CERN Collider onto you and just make you disappear because you're so wrong about everything.

I would be down.

If there was like a test dummy to get to the fourth dimension, I'd be the Christopher Columbus of that. Now that now how do you know that that we're not in the fourth dimension though you don't maybe maybe i guess we'll find out tomorrow when he puts maybe this fourth dimensional hank is really good at golf tomorrow mini golf open so if we've yeah if i'm good then maybe we're in the fourth dimension right exactly if you hit every hole in one then we're we we're 4d that'd be sick yeah people just call me 2d in high school because i'm so skinny um my cool throne is max oh he's going to be living his dream yeah yeah i think we alluded to it on monday you guys were confused what i was talking about uh but this friday 412 starting at Barstool Bar, Max is going to be...
Which Barstool Bar? Barstool Bar in Philly. Okay.

No. but this Friday 4-12 starting at the Barstool Bar Max is going to be which Barstool Bar? Barstool Bar in Philly okay Max is going to lead the first hundred people that go to the Barstool Bar they'll get a ticket to ride the chill train and go to the Sixers game it's Pride Night coincidentally oh it is Pride Night and at 6pm Max is going to be leading the Sixers drum line from Barstool Sansom to the chill train to the game.
And if you know anything about Max, he is very good at leading these trains. He did one for Darts Day like three years ago before he quit darts, and he gets the people going.
Yeah. He gets the people going.
So if you're in Philly, show up to the Barstool Bar, get a free ticket on the Chill Train, and Max is going to put on a show. That's what I promise you.
Max will put on a show for you guys. Starts at 4.30.
Get there at 4.30. I'm nervous about people coming.
On the train? On everything. You're going to run a train on Pride Night.
First hundred people get a free ticket to the game. It's a big game.
Max is going to make sure people come. Yeah.
Max is going to make you come when he runs your train on Pride Night. This is a big moment for you, Max.
I know. I don't like it.
City of Philadelphia is going to show up for Max. Will he be sitting in a box? I don't think so.
And don't throw tomatoes at him. No.
Come on. What? Don't.
I said don't. I hate you.
I love when you say come on. It's so fucking cute.
We got him a big, whatever you call it, conductor's hat, like the person that- Oh, yes. One of those batons.
It's an overall stomach. This is a nightmare.
This whole thing is a nightmare. You're going to do great, sweetie.
But it's like one of those things where you say it's your nightmare, but low-key it's like your dream. Yeah, it's not my dream.
You're going to lead a fucking drumline on Pride Night. If you told 12-year-old Max Delente that, you'd be like, oh, my God, thank God.
I made it. I just hope people show up.
People show up. I just hope people show up.
Please show up. I mean, free ticket to the game.
Free ticket to the game. Free ticket to the game.
We're still fighting for that sixth seed. Pacers won today.
That was tough. But, you know, two nights off, and Beatle definitely be playing.
I'm just going to say it, and Beatle definitely be playing. Nice.
Magic, good basketball team. Big win.
Got to win on Friday night. Let's go, Max.
Okay. Have some pride.
PFT, your hot seat, cool throne.

My hot seat is every Major League Baseball pitcher because they've all got elbow issues. Yeah.
And they're all getting Tommy John. They're all getting UCL injuries.
How many have there been this year? A lot. It feels like six quality starters that have gone on the DL with some sort of shoulder tightness.
and I looked up the stat, um, starting pitchers that throw 96 and a half miles per hour in a season from 2019 to 2023. Uh, they're all injured.
Yeah. All of them have been injured.
I'm looking up and down this list right now. We've had even a couple more added in the last two days.
It seems like every good pitcher is getting hurt this year. Well, we talked about it on Sunday.
Like it's just, everyone everyone's obsessed with velocity throwing it's so fucking hard and the uniforms and the uniforms are an additional issue but yeah the list just keeps growing day by day by day my cool throne i'm gonna put so i'm gonna switch it up a little bit my cool throne is uh the master's app we're gonna talk to max home about it in a second i redownload the master's app it's a tradition unlike any other and when you log into the first time it just feels it's such a great way to come down from the ncaa tournament being over and now you have the masters app back which is the greatest piece of technology ever invented yep and you open it up and you're like everything's going to be okay yeah because the masters apps here and it's comforting and it's perfect and it runs as smoothly as anything. I fucking love the Masters app.
Yeah, I do too. All right, my hot seat is NBA playoff strategy.
So we had two things. One, someone on Twitter threw this out there that I'm very interested in what you guys think.
He said, is it legal for players to kiss as a strategy? Let's say that it's the finals, game seven in a crunch time. If Luka starts kissing Kyrie, not a single defender will be watching the ball, leaving Exum open for an easy three.
Would Luka and Kyrie be called for a tech, or would the points count? I think it counts. We talked about this on the show.
I think this was our idea. Oh, so someone stole it from us.
I think it us. I think it's an old, yeah, that's an old one.
Oh, okay. It's our idea.
All right. You remember the old, like you've seen it in like high school tapes where one player will get on the ground and barking like a dog? All right, so that's it.
That thing? Yeah, just make out with, is it a foul to make out with your opponent? No, I don't think so. Is that, I don't know, we need to get a rule down.
Your opponent probably, but you see me. I was like, this sounds vaguely familiar, but then it was from yesterday.
So I was like, damn, they're just stealing us from 2018. Yeah.
But here's the new strategy that no one's ready for. The Bulls unveiled tonight the double person dunk.
It didn't go in, but I think if it did, it would have counted for four points. Do you think it was a double dunk or do you think the guy behind was trying to block the shot?

No, I think it was. So Torrey Craig went to throw it up off the glass to himself and Andre Drummond thought he was throwing it to him.
And they both tried to dunk at the same time and neither of them dunked. But I'm pretty sure if it had gone in, it would have been a double dunk four points.
Yeah, it's hard to defend. the picture of them of sorry Craig just being like

what the fuck why is there someone on

my back trying to dunk this ball? You should never try to do something like this when you're losing. Yeah, Andre Drummond also turned his ankle like the next play.
Yeah. So the Bulls, yeah, they're going to figure it out.
Also, I do think the only reason billy donovan is still alive for the kentucky job is that jerry reinsdorf would pack his bags for him being like now i don't have to pay you because there was a story in the in the chicago sun times today uh about jerry reinsdorf and the white socks he said a source recently said that reinsdorf who is also the chairman of the white socks knew that manager pedro grafal had put in a fireable season by mid-summer of 2023, but he wanted to wait at least a year so the dead money wasn't as big a hit. Okay.
So just terrible employees being like, I don't want to pay him. Yeah.
But that's good that they might move on, though. Or did they already move on? No, they have.
Well, that's bad. Yeah, that's what he's dealing with.
All right, my cool turn, I got two as well. One is anyone who loves coffee because Stella Blue, we have the golden mug.
We have done our first golden mug of the year. It's going to be all day today, all day Thursday.
We got new merch. This hat is in the store.
All the coffee is stocked. Cold brew season's here.
and five people are going to win a custom stellar blue golf bag and a new driver so uh five people can win the the uh the golden mug it's going to be great obviously we give money to to to dogs pause chicago uh but yeah we got all the new merch hats coffee everything i love i love doing the gold mugs. It makes me feel like Willy Wonka.
So go buy it right now. And then my other cool throne was the Chargers because Jim Harbaugh has unveiled his new strategy, which our friend Sam Schwartzen has told us.
He has all kinds of stuff like this. But Jim Harbaugh has made some locker room changes.
Not only are players' lockers rearranged numerically, but each player's nameplate now shows their recruit level coming out of high school, not ranked through five-star recruit level. I like that.
We all came from a different place, and now we're here, all this together. Remember, also for the guys that weren't highly recruited, remind them of that every day.
Khal mack hey i think it was zero stars people think you suck right he also when i i asked sam what this probably meant and he said that he just loves to rank stuff loves to remind everyone that doesn't matter where you started we're all in this together and then he said that uh jim harbaugh used to call uh he'd classify all the players at Stanford, and the lowest classification was Bus Rider Steak Eater because they don't play. They just go to games and eat the team meal.
I like that. Bus Rider Steak Eater.
When Harbaugh was making this list, when he was assigning all the different stars to all the players from their past, he probably in his head thinks like all the players that were zero stars, those are my core guys. i want 53 of those yes on my team yes but the the chargers changes have started uh all right cheek uh my hot seat is basketball fans oh yannis non-contact injury tonight what mri i i saw i saw some uh some unauthorized aggregator twitter accounts posting this they don't think that it's an Achilles.
They think it's a calf. Doc Rivers says postgame his level of concern is high, but he's Giannis.
I think everyone probably feels the same way as I do right now, so we're just hoping to hope for the best. The Bucs have had the season from hell, it feels like.
You have Doc Rivers as your coach. Yeah.
So we don't have much info. Oh, Hank.
I mean, that had to be the only team you were even slightly worried about. That had to be the only team you were slightly worried about.
I never root for injuries. I mean, Pat Bev, they said he was going to be out for the season.
He started tonight, got 20-10, belt the ass. But are you – does this – If he's playing, I'm not worried.
All right. Were the Bucs the only team that you had a little bit of worry about not really they're still fighting for the two seed against the Knicks and if they get it then you could potentially rest but then they might be playing the Sixers or the Heat so yeah Celtics are in the finals Pro Football Doc says probably not Achilles.
Oh, okay. That's good.
It'll be fine. Calf is not good, though.
Calf's not good either. Calf is not good.
All right, Jake? My Cool Throne's the Champions Dinner. It took place tonight.
Oh, yeah. And, Max, if you want to pull up the picture of Big Cat, I feel like this is kind of like the coach's picture of the light version.
The light version. Yeah, light version.
But they're all dressed the same. Oh, no, VJ Sings are nice everything.
Yeah, but their smiles are different. Yeah.
So anything to stick out to you? Yeah, what stuck out to me was immediately Phil Mickelson. Phil, if you zoom in on Phil, that's a man who I don't think he had much of an appetite for dinner.
I think he probably – yeah, he took his – He's wide-eyed. Yeah, he – He's looking like he's ready to go to a Florida Panthers game.
He's very alert for this dinner. Yeah.
I also – it just reminds you, like, if you win a Masters, that's just got to be the coolest thing to be, like, every year, once a year. Yeah.
I get to go to this. Should we do, like, a part of my take dinner for life? What do you mean? Like, we just have dinner.
When? Once a day? Sunday? No, just like once a year, like in 50 years. Yeah, but then we would have to invite Billy.
That's true. We'd also have to invite his 50 secret service agents.
Yes, that's true. Oh yeah, you might be president.
Yeah, we could do that. We'll do that at the White House.
We'd have to invite Jilly. Yeah.
Okay, if Billy gets elected president one day, we will have an annual part of my take dinner in

the Lincoln bedroom at the

White House. How fast if Billy became president

would he just forget that we exist?

No, he would arrest us. Yeah.
He would have us.

Send us secret stories. And podcast.

Yeah, those would just not be part of...

Anyone who said one word on a mic.

Yeah. I also love John Rahm's facial

here in this. Yeah.
He's got the White Sox

Dave beard going on. Yeah, Tiger's looking good.m's facial hair in this.
Yeah. He's got the White Sox Dave beard going on.

Yeah, Tiger's looking good.

Where's Fuzzy Zeller?

I don't know.

Is he alive?

I also don't know where Angel Cabrera is.

He's not there.

Angel's not there?

No.

You really are a dimple head.

No, I know he's not there.

I'm saying I don't know where he is.

Fuzzy Zeller is alive.

All right, let's go Fuzzy.

Good job, Fuzzy. Wow.
Who's the wilford brimley guy what does that mean the guy with the mustache the the fat guy with the mustache that guy's on tv all the time what's his name he's on tv do reverse image search yeah who's that no we're showing ourselves right now people could be like oh fuck how did you not know that guy he's always on tv it's gonna be bad that's good podcasting and this is really bad podcasting champions wilford brimley maybe it just is wilford brimley did not win a green jacket it looks exactly like him all right well we'll just have people tell us how we were wrong and we didn't know anything. And this is going to suck if it's a name that we should have known, PFT.
I'm telling you. I asked Kirk earlier.
I didn't recognize it. And what did he say? I forget.
What do you mean? It's an old guy's name. All right, we're doing the image search right now.
Okay. Nothing's going up.
We're just bringing up a lot of green jackets. Great podcast.
I think Augusta has a trademark on that Pantone green. This is doing nothing for us.
Oh, wait. No, I say his name.
No, it doesn't. Most likely to call his waitress sweetheart.
That's true. That's very true.
Maybe someone replied in it. Two words.
Sex symbol. Okay.

Oh, man.

All right.

This is going to kill us.

Let's see.

I'm just going to type old guy mustache. Yeah, look.

Someone said Wilford Brimley.

Old guy.

Even more than Brimley.

Mustache and golf.

I just searched Wilford Brimley Masters.

Okay.

We got to find this now.

This is a terrible podcast, and we apologize to everyone.

Sorry, sorry, sorry. Craig Stadler.
Craig Stadler. Oh, dude, how did we not get Craig Stadler? He wanted a playoff in 82.
82. Of course.
The walrus. Oh, the first picture is him just, like, chewing on a bottle of wine.

And now, here's Max Homa.

Okay, we now welcome on our very, very, very good friend.

An Augusta tradition unlike any other.

It is Max Homa.

He's getting ready for his master's.

The year that he finally puts on a green jacket.

Max, I actually have to ask you a question first because this has been in the headlines your wife is not pregnant right now is she no okay all right i was in the headlines no not you're not you specifically but uh scotty scheffler said that he would leave if his wife goes into labor so i just wanted to we needed to make sure that you weren't going to leave at any point if you're leading the Masters? I think we're all sadly rooting for her to give birth a little early the way he's been

golfing.

Someone's going to send her some Thai food or something?

Try to speed it up?

Hey, Meredith, you want to walk on this curb one leg off the side for us, please?

All right.

So how are you feeling, Max?

Yeah, good.

It's been great. I was waiting to tell you I'm playing with Brooks tomorrow in the par three, so we're getting the Pardon My Take vibes about as good as they come.
So I think that's a really good start to the actual event. That's great.
I saw that you were paired with your childhood hero, Tiger Woods. I also saw that your screen name when you were a kid was NextTigerWoods59.
Yeah. I've gotten a lot of people.
You haven't been one of them, shockingly, PFT, but I've gotten a lot of people saying, oh, all the kids say, that's Cap now. And they say, that's Cap.
It was 69. And I was like, well, it was AIM.
I was like nine years old. I don't think that it was 59 because of golf.
It'sier yeah mine was 59's like a sweet score in golf i guess as you get older 69 becomes significantly sweeter but uh yeah uh it's that was it next tiger was 59 about as embarrassing as it gets all right so we gotta though he's just a guy we can't be a puddle around him he's just just a guy. No, just a guy.
Just a guy. Just a really, really cool childhood hero of mine.
But, no, it actually has been easier since the first time I played with him. We've gotten to be a lot closer.
PFT, though, I feel like you were just about to tell me your embarrassing name, and I would like to feel better about mine. Yeah, it was 69-69.
I spelled out the word 69 and then numbers yeah i was such a badass yeah i was fucking you know me get the dick wet a little bit you know oh speaking of that god it was soaked uh uh i i saw the other news about tiger woods that he's not having sex leading up to uh to this master's tournament are you are you taking a similar route um i mean some days by choice some days not i guess um i i i don't know who uh nobody cited their source there but i'm not sure tiger's got a friend close enough to him that would talk to the media that were true so i'm so confused by i feel like some guy just asked somebody and said yeah yeah i'm sex now like i i don't i don't know how you get close enough to him to know that and then if you did get close enough i'm pretty sure you're usually quiet as a mouse so that's a weird story man but i mean good for that uh journalist yeah yeah It was a weird story. I mean, our only theory was that maybe Tiger's penis wrote that story because, like, that's the only one who would know.
But, yeah, that was definitely a weird story. That might be like a classic NFL smokescreen thing where Tiger has one friend that he thinks is running his mouth a little bit.
Yeah. So he only tells that one friend that story to see if it gets out, and now that guy's out of the circle.
I wonder if then it he's like oh gotcha bitch he's like fuck now this story's out yeah should have come up with something a little less weird yeah damn it that's a good point yeah i think about that one max kind of a weird question you're a diehard dodgers fan if you get a text on thursday morning from a number you don't recognize and it's shohei otani and he, hey, I just put $4.5 million on you to win the Masters. Would that be more pressure or less pressure? I mean, it sounds about on brand because he sounds like, I mean, if he was gambling and he was down $4.5 million, putting all of it on me to win the Masters sounds right about on par, for lack of a better pun.
That's been crazy i mean we uh we've been dumbfounded enamored a little bit just by how you can be that far in the hole yeah even if it wasn't him uh that's impressive in that book he is what a what a guy just taking on some serious heat uh yeah the whole situation that i i need a i need a documentary about the whole thing but whether it was showhei or not. Yeah, it is a fascinating story, and the Dodgers are a super team.
So it's nice that they gave us this one thing we can make fun of when they win like 115 games this year. Yeah, Joe said it best this morning.
He goes, his bad world, perfect world would be if Shohei somehow got suspended and we still won the World Series,

so we didn't have to listen to how we bought our team for a year.

Yeah, it's not a bad point.

That would be best case, worst case, I guess.

Yeah, so in terms of your game right now, I know you played last week.

You usually don't play the week before the Masters.

You decided to this year.

What was that decision about?

Why did you figure, okay, you know what, I won't take a break this year great question pft uh great question i typically sit at home and i try to get my golf game like as perfect as i can get it and i notice when i show up here like on a monday uh you know i'm just trying to hold on to it when you're really just getting going monday to wednesday you know you're getting moving and seeing what's working and going and checking out the golf course instead of just trying to be like a perfect robot of a golfer so i felt like if i went last week i would get a bit more into like golf uh i never remember what side of the brain you're supposed to use i'm not gonna ask mac because i think he only uses like one side anyways right he's the front of his brain yeah yeah yeah only the front with the first thing that comes to mind yeah i think it's right brained i get too uh left brained at home and i'd like to play a bit more right brain so uh i tried to do that how would you a bit more last week so yeah how would you say max is doing uh holding up your name right now? Great. I'm doing great.
It's been disappointing at times. That was a question.
No, that was a question. That was not a question for Christopher Delente.
That was a question for Max Homa. But I'm doing a really good job over here, so I just wanted to step in.
I would like it to be known that the eight minutes I'm on the show, once every four months, you are bad girl, not Max. So if someone asks Max a question, it should be at me yeah that is all i asked eight minutes so but he's doing all right i mean he's got more seconds than i do so that's something yeah that's yeah that's that's a fair point um you've been in the news a little bit recently max uh you've had a couple couple shots uh that have either hit a patron or come close to hitting a.
The one last week was so funny where the dude just fell over as he tried to step away from it. I wish I could have seen it for the tee.
That was a bummer. I saw it on Instagram after.
I was like, oh, man, I actually would have given a good laugh at that guy with that guy. A lot of effort.
I don't know what the plan was. He was doing a great job.
He was trying to get out of the way. And he obviously is not as athletic as maybe he once was and didn't realize the limitations of his body at his current age and then just tumbled backwards onto the ground.
But everybody had that guy's back. Everybody was like, great job as a volunteer.
That's what you should be doing, getting of the way trying to track the ball i think people appreciate effort yeah yeah sometimes you fail but effort is important uh and that guy had all of that he had no athleticism unfortunately for him uh but i loved it he got out of the way then in the way and then like rolled out of the way again he did everything really fast but i like how he just lay there and just looked up in the sky like yeah damn probably like just completely regretted ever volunteering for like those two seconds yeah i know i'm on tv's face that you make yeah yeah right in that moment he was thinking about what the next two days of his life were going to be like uh people just sending him that video repeatedly yeah yeah and he doesn't have instagram so every time they set it in the instagram link he has to say i don't have an instagram download it read the comments and be like oh none of these are nice i thought it'd be nice and jolly and fun i didn't know the internet was so fucking terrible it is a terrible place i got a dumb question for you max so there's rain in the forecast on thursday we love we're we're regular guys that just love whenever a plan gets canceled period i don't care if it's like a good thing a bad thing if you if you i have something i have to do and then you tell me i don't have to do it i'm like holy shit that's awesome i basically have free whatever time is that similar with with the situation with the rain or are you like i want to go i like let's go that's actually a funny question yeah because it is the master so i'd assume it's maybe not like us but like i could you could tell me i'm going on vacation and then be like no actually it got canceled i'd be like oh awesome now i can sit and watch nothing for three days yeah yeah that's a good point uh i would say typically i'd be pissed because i would like to just get going but this week's a bit unique i have uh some of my friends stay at my house this week so it's actually kind of fun not to be at the golf course where typically we're usually just sitting in a hotel room uh trying to you know they don't baby proof hotel rooms as you know big cat so you're just trying to have your kid not bump his head on something so this week is a little different being home's not so bad so i guess for this one i won't care too much if we don't get going but it is always you get a little antsy as it gets close but i don't think it's quite the same as no as when you have a flight and you're like oh thank god i don't have to get on it uh even though you want to leave uh but it's it's a bit similar i mean you kind of get itching and ready to go. And if it gets pushed all the way to Friday for us, that would suck.
But I don't know. Maybe Tiger will want to come over and play like Chutes and Ladders or something.
I feel like that would be a nice little adjustment. So I guess I could float that idea.
That'd be very fun. I also have a dumb question.
Do you download the Masters app? Hell yeah. Yeah.
Okay, cool. It's like the best app ever.
It is. For it's our favorite thing yeah so even though even if you're playing in the tournament you download the app you can check in on people you do like do you actually like watch the masters as a fan while you're competing in it yes absolutely uh i guess i kind of like i because on the pga tour app it's similar you star like your favorites or whatever but the masters app's just one week and there's less people so i like going through and seeing who i'm gonna star for yeah yeah usually just me but every once in a while i'll be like i'm curious what this guy's gonna do this week so i'll star him up so i do enjoy going in and almost at the end of the week being like what prompted me to star someone? So why did I give a shit at any point in the tournament? But yeah, it's fun.
They do a good job. You can see all your shots too back, which is pretty, that's rare for us.
So that's, that's cool. But yeah, it's just like a nice dirty thing.
I like the golf nerdy shit. How, another dumb question.
How tiring is Augusta? Because all I hear about is like you, we were watching on TV. We've never been, we want to go some year, but like people talk about, you know, the walking in the Hills, it's a lot more steep than you realize.
Is it actually like after 18 holes, you're like, okay, that was, that was different than a regular course. I mean, that's definitely a golfer thing to say to make us feel better, but yeah, I don't know how the fuck joe does it with the bag yeah there's just a couple hills eight and 18 just i already walk fucking weird watch how low my chest gets to the ground halfway up both those hills i'll fucking drag it ass going up eight and 18 uh it's steep as shit man like it is it is uh i wouldn't say you're like dead tired by any means But it definitely sneaks up on you Yeah yeah What's your favorite hole? You're leading me to a joke here I'm not Nope I'll start first Vagina You go That means I gotta pick I just took one of them okay i'll go second mouth okay you're up max fuck um yeah the 13th hole okay okay good answer good answer good answer god you guys pick pick the two ones i should just spit it out clear one, one, and one, too.
Yeah, man. Such an obvious couple picks.
The 13th. Okay, so we got to watch you on the 13th.
13th's sick. How is the gallery, Ben? Has everyone been behaving themselves? I know Augusta's different.
This week's clean. Yeah, this week's clean.
But other tournaments, has everyone... I had one yesterday.
Oh, in general? No, I still had one yesterday. I couldn't believe he had the balls to do it at augusta um it's getting a lot better i'm pretty impressed but then there's just some weeks these guys they go fucking nuts but uh it's gotten better uh i'm definitely hearing a lot more parverts okay which i'll i i will accept for the time being um i still contend

beyond my favorite thing that happens it is every week or two someone will scream homosexual which

they i mean they yell it all the whole time all day everybody's like i'm a homosexual homosexual

most of the time a lot of people around them get it but god it hit so hard last week some guy

screamed it and you could just tell there was like a group of 10 15 guys that did not know what

Thank you. most of the time a lot of people around him get it but god it hit so hard last week some guy screamed it and you could just tell there was like a group of 10 15 guys that did not know what it was like what they were getting at and they lost their shit laughing so hard uh they were just so confused like what a weird place you know golf course the 16th hole to come out yeah uh it was fucking and you can it makes laugh so hard.
Because I think my favorite part about people are not understanding why I don't like being called a pervert in public is that they can't separate the internet from real life. Like you're not everyone gets that this is a joke, and I'm not going to explain it and I am a real person.
And so I like when people do shit from the internet in public and then almost get like embarrassed right yeah no no no it's a joke dude and everyone's well what do you mean and they're like no it's from a podcast just a part of my head what the fuck is that no it's big cat and pft they're like what the fuck is a big cat and pft i listen to it i'm just like yeah how dumb do you yeah yeah the funniest jokes are when you have to explain them like for minutes and minutes yeah yeah and homosexual i love because you could piece it together like it's a great y'all came up with it it's a great idea but like the pervert one takes like eight levels of explaining yeah i'm just like yeah dude it doesn't sound good anymore right yeah i like the idea of a guy standing up and being like, I am a homosexual. And then the whole crowd looking at him and slowly breaking into applause.
Like, congrats, Sean. I'm so proud of you.
I had it at Tampa two years ago. Guy on the 10th tee.
Kid walks up. Dad and his son were standing next to him.
He goes, hey, Max, I'm a homosexual. And I nodded.
And the dad looked at him and just gave him a nod of approval.

Like, good for you, man.

That's cool.

Proud for being proud.

This is a heartwarming moment.

He doesn't get the pet.

He's telling a different story to his family when he gets home.

And I was just like, man, what a time to be alive.

Yeah.

Makes you laugh every time.

Yeah, we'll reiterate.

AWOs have to police each other.

We're rooting for Max. We want Max to do well, so let's get him in a good spot.
I know Augusta's different because it's just prim and proper, but when you're back on the tour, everyone just do a good job. Listen, we want Max to win, so then he'll win us money and Shohei.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Allegedly. Yeah, allegedly.
Allegedly. Yeah, allegedly.

Maybe just his translator.

That's a weird wrinkle to the story that the bookie

issued a $4.5 million line of credit

to a guy that makes like $200 grand

a year, too. He's good for it.

He's a lot of icky parts.

Maybe he was up a lot for a while. I don't know.

Handshake agreement. I don't know what

goes on over there. So, Max, what can we expect this weekend from you? What's your goal? Goals to win.
Our game does feel really good. Getting a little bit more comfortable.
I'm excited. I don't know.
I feel like – Something about majors gets you amped up, but I feel like I've done a good job of just enjoying my week and trying to be myself a bit more and have a bit more

fun. I love that and I feel like you have

come a long way from whatever it was five

six years ago when I was like can you win

it? So and I know you can win it now

like I just. One of my favorite questions I gotta ask

myself that every week so I'm gonna ask myself

Thursday right before I walk to the

team and say can you do this?

I'm just gonna answer it honestly

and I'm just very hopeful that answers

yes. I'll get to swinging.

You've been playing great golf last

Thank you. and say, can you do this? And then I'm just going to answer it honestly, and I'm just very hopeful that answers yes.
Yes. Get to swinging.
You've been playing great golf the last couple years. You're ready to go.
You're ready to go. I think I know now that on a good week, if things go the way they can go, I know I can win it, which I guess is different than maybe a few years ago where I didn't know if my great golf was good enough.
I know for a fact my great golf is good enough. It just needs to come out the right week.
So let's just hope it's this week. But that's got to feel awesome to be like, I know that if I just play to the best of my abilities, I can do this.
Yeah. That's a huge difference.
It's a big difference. It's a little bit more common knowing that it doesn't need to be perfect.
It just needs to be good. And I've done that enough times to know.
I think it would be the pressure on Sunday. That would be the most unique thing.
But as far as the golf goes, like I think fortunately I've lived enough of this golf, these golf like experiences to know like I can physically do what needs to be done um so it'll be fun to get to see uh to eventually have an opportunity to just see what that's like when you're kind of getting down to the nitty-gritty yeah i would love that max i we might cry we might cry if you win yeah i will cry with you guys yeah well you'll be i'll leave the charge yeah i mean if you win you'll be on with your green jacket on sunday night yeah which would be incredible i will be i have not been drinking like at all trying to get ready for this whole part of the season and i am really looking for an excuse to get white girl wasted yeah i'm ready for it sunday would be a great time i'll cry i'll cry and i'll get white girl wasted with you yeah solidarity okay what if we're just doing a drunk podcast? Yeah, we're just hammering because Max won. Yeah, Max won.
All right. Max, I got one last question.
Roback question. R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com.
Promo code TAKE. 20% off your first purchase.
Q-Zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Roback.com.
Promo code TAKE. Thank you for doing this.
I know that you've got a busy schedule and we appreciate your time very, very much. Also, my last question is not a question it's just i wanted to apologize to you in in face to face we've texted uh i lashed out i was a bitch i actually honestly the the whole wisconsin jmu thing i've been in like a mental funk for like a month or three weeks because i hate how i was and i've beaten myself up't even read, like, I'm sure there's people online who've said really mean things and I've done a good job of avoiding that, but know that I've hated myself more than anyone in the world the last three weeks.
Dude, no, it's good. I've been a bigger bitch than that.
So, I mean. Yeah, we all have moments.
Yeah, we all have moments. We've all been there.
Yeah. the only part of the podcast i didn't like when you lashed out was that you said my joke wasn't very good because i thought it was good you know what thought into it you know i'm gonna text bft and big cat and then i was glad hank pointed out he's like you do this yeah no he was right i was i was an idiot that was the point i can i can read it here this is uh this is during the game wasime? No, it was whenever.
It was at halftime. I mean, the whole game was terrible.
At halftime. Hey, just wanted to let you know I'm watching the game and I'm rooting for your team.
I know he'll be mad, but that makes it even better. And then he followed up with, oh, shoot, I didn't mean to send this to both of you guys.
And there was only one person who could be mad in the moment because Wisconsin played terrible. And the other thing is that I didn't explain well was it wasn't you it was two people who from my private life who texted me that i was very upset about that i didn't want to say their names but that was what i also didn't realize rusillo was like trying to send me a phone actually i didn't realize he was a great guy that night rusillo sent me a um he i i didn't know FaceTime message.
A FaceTime message. And I didn't see it for a week.
And then I pulled it up and I just, I deleted it right away. He was just like smiling and it was the end of the game and he's like, hey buddy.
And I just deleted it right away. I was like, I'm still not ready.
Him and his fucking Cardinals hat. He probably turned off the game at halftime anyway.
No, he with me I was talking to him the other day and he was telling me about the game and he said he was basically a personal security guard because he thought you were going to fight every Wisconsin fan in the building yeah they didn't want any of this though they're all talked it's a bunch of yapping dogs they're not going to fight a big old pit bull like you that's also very funny of Rasilla to be like up for it. That's Rasilla's dream.
He's like Mark Wahlberg in that moment being like, oh, I'll fucking – it would have been different if I were there. Also, Max, you can – Batgirl, you can correct me if I'm wrong.
Rasilla didn't step up to anything. Yeah, no, but he – I backed a guy down.
Yeah, in his head. Yeah, no, that was – Rasilla? Yeah.
It was essentially you. It was essentially you.
But, I mean, there was the initial interaction, and then it was funny just hearing Roussilla be like, hey, I know this is probably a little tough for you to hear, but he is a big deal. This is a big deal.
Also, I had Batgirl and Roussilla with me. Like, that's such a beefy security team.
No one's fucking with it. That's literally, Rossello goes to bed at night, and he's like, I really wish that someone would step to one of my friends so that all these squats I'm doing in my garage by myself are worth it.
Like, that's his dream. I've got this running joke, but like a real thing.
And it has nothing to do with being like a golfer and not wanting to have to talk to somebody who might know me. It's more like when I'm in an Uber or I meet a stranger at times, as they say, and you're in close quarters.
And they ask you what you do. My running joke's been that I'm a real estate agent because my wife is.
So I know a lot about it because I just don't want to talk about golf. I imagine that Rosillo's answer to that, if he does this, is a bouncer because he wants people to make you a bouncer.
Like, that's like his, like you a bouncer. He has one of the coolest jobs in the world, but I almost guarantee you he'd be like, I wish it mattered how strong I was.
It was like my job. I wish I could talk about this more.
Yeah. It absolutely is what he answers.
Or just like something that everybody would hate so that they try to pick a fight with him. Yeah.
That's actually a really good idea. Yeah.
I actually beat up dogs for a living. Yeah.
I'm a Duke fan. All right.
Well, Max, best of luck. We're rooting for you.
Have fun with Brooks tomorrow. We had him on too.
Only two bets I made. I'm riding with my boys.
So let's go get a green jacket. That's good odds.
Like I said, we're going to get the Big Cats bet vibes rolling tomorrow. Yes.
Start the event off right. Yeah, get this thing going.
But thank you guys for having me on. What a tradition.
I love this. Yes.
All right. Thank you, Max.
Go kill it. All right.
Thank you, boys. Love you, PFT.
Love you too. What about me? What about me? I've heard for you.
Hey, love you, too, big guy. All right.
Thank you. Love you, too.
Even Batgirl. Yeah, even Batgirl.
And Hank. And Hank.
And Hank. Hank, I love you extra.
Oh, nice. Nice.
Call of Duty, because I fucking still suck. All right.

And now, here's Brooks Koepka. Okay, we now welcome on our good friend, one-time Blake of the Year? I think so.
Did you win Blake of the Year? I've got the goose egg, fellas. Oh, no.
Well, we're doing the green jacket this year, then later the Masters. Yeah, yeah.
We're going to do the real Masters, which is Blake of the Year. Yeah.
So it is Brooks Koepka, our guy from Smash FC. No, Smash GC.
Brooks, thank you for joining us. It is Masters week.
Let's just start here. How are you feeling? How is the game feeling? how is the mentals feeling uh and just so you know we also are going to make sure that hank does not jinx you this year yeah i think that's that's the big thing i need hank to to lay off um feel good man feel really good really happy where i'm at and uh excited for a good week it'll be it'll be a lot of fun need a little redemption yeah so compare So compare it to this week last year, because I think a lot of people didn't really understand that Brooks was back last year at this time.
You were telling people, like, you feel good. Game's in a good place.
Now people know that Brooks is back. Are you feeling better than you did last year? Best shape of your life? You're not best shape of my life.
But, yeah, I mean, I'm getting old, man. Dead bod.
It's in right now. Wait.
But, yeah, I feel good. What was the best shape of my life but yeah i mean i'm getting old man dead body it's in right now wait um but yeah i feel good what was the best shape of your life i probably when i did that body shoot for espn or whatever yeah i lost like 30 pounds that sucked but yeah that was best shape of your life you're not you're not imposing nude shape but you're imposing in yeah would you do a Would you do a nude body shoot only wearing the green jacket? Oh, absolutely.
That would rock. Absolutely.
If that happens, yeah, yeah. Jenna will be.
Yeah. I saw a picture, by the way, of all the live guys Sergio tweeted were coming for that green jacket.
When he says we, is it you? Are you guys playing as a team? Does he know that it's not a team? Masters? I feel like he should know that it's not a team event right now. Yeah, I would like to win.
I'll throw my name into the rink there. I want you to win it too.
Not just because I bet on you, but because you're our friend and also you'd come on after and show us the trope or the green jacket and that would fucking rock yeah and but if you win you have to give partial credit to sergio though because that's a we win oh for the league i give the we to uh pmt oh yeah that's the week yeah i win it's we win yes i that. I like that.
So, Brooks, I saw you had a piece in golf.com yesterday, maybe yesterday, and it was 10 lessons that Brooks Koepka taught me in 32 minutes. One of the lessons, so you did 10 lessons.
The first one is don't think about anything, which I love, but then lesson, what was it? It was like seven. Lesson eight was don't think about consequences.
And lesson four was, again, don't think about anything. So three of your 10 lessons were just don't think.
Honestly, fellas, that's the best way to be. I just kept on scrolling and I was like, wait, we like wait we're not oh just a reminder but don't you think that if you're telling everyone to not think about anything now they're thinking about not thinking about anything which is perfect that's right where i want them okay all right but when you when you step up to the golf ball like i understand what you're saying it's a spin zone yeah yeah yeah when you step up to the ball i get what you're saying because you you go on to to tell the guy like you want to react and in golf there's no reaction usually you have to you know you set up and you do a lot of thinking and most people think when they're hitting a golf shot but you want to make it so you react so you completely like shut your mind off and act like when you open your eyes this is just oh there's a ball i gotta hit it now yeah well usually you're standing behind guys they're playing really slow so it's like five and a half hours you know what i'm saying yeah yeah you get a lot of time to think so if you don't think for that five and a half hours it's beautiful yeah i like the other lesson that you had on there uh which is that you only warm up with your odd clubs is that is that only you like you only warm up with nine irons seven irons five irons three irons yeah i think it might i don't know i guess i don't know i've always done it that way i don't know um i never really looked at anybody else what they're doing on the range but yeah um i would say yeah probably guys probably do the same thing or maybe not the odd clubs they might go even you know probably probably even, but four, it's even.
Five is odd, so yeah. So you only warm up with your odd clubs and you wear them out way faster than your even clubs? Yeah.
Yeah, like I barely ever hit my six iron unless it's on the golf course. And so when you step up to hit a six iron on the course, you never think about that.
Because me personally, I know if if i just warm up and i hit a seven iron well when i'm practicing i get up there and it's an eight iron shot i'm like god damn it my eight iron wasn't good but my seven was earlier you just don't have that problem you're just like oh i guess i'm hitting the six yeah now when i think back to chicago when we played i probably should i probably should change that all up going in this week oh i don't want you to change any i't want – I want you to just go in and not think about anything. So this is your eighth – ninth Masters.
Ninth Masters, you finished second twice. You finished top 30 every single time that you didn't get cut.
So you've been right there. Is there anything you're changing about the Masters, like going this week? Or is there anything that you're like, I'm going to do this differently to get me over the hump? No, no, not going to do anything.
Still going to stick with the odd clubs in the warm-up. Yeah, nothing.
I got nothing for you, fellas. Okay.
That's actually good. I just don't want to think about anything, so I'm just going to do whatever I do.
Yeah, right. That's smart.

Do you have a strategy for what number you want your caddy to get?

I did last year. It was the last year I waited.

I actually waited for one person so I could get 69.

Yeah, so when I get there on Monday morning, what number do you guys want?

I can't get the loan ones. I'm sure guys are there Saturday and stuff.
But whatever are we going for? I mean, 100? 69 would be funny. What about 99? 99 looks badass.
I don't know if they – there's only – they get what the guys that play. So I think – I don't know how many guys.
I'm assuming it usually goes up to like 90. What's – Jake, what lotto ball is it? Do we draw a lottery ball to figure this out? Yeah.
Yes, great call. Okay.
Okay. Tell you what, Brooks, we'll do 100 lotto balls, and we'll take the one that comes up the most, okay? So stand by.
I'm hoping it's above 45 to make this realistic. Yeah, we'll just draw it until you get above 45, and that'll be your number.
Perfect. Okay.
It's spinning. 44 was the first one.

So we go again.

Of course.

That's 44.

Underneath 44 is 52.

You want to go 52?

52.

It might be close because I can get there Monday morning early.

We'll do another one because that one was not selected.

I want this to be legit.

44 again.

44 again. I think you've got to get 40.
You didn't drop it. Big Cat's out of practice right now.
That would have been crazy. Okay.
No, no, Big Cat forgot to clear it. He forgot to clear it, so we're going to do another one.
Okay, it's cleared now. We're just putting you right back into Blake of the Year, the worst Blake of the Year ever.
We're just going to be right here.

We're not there yet.

72.

72.

72, that's the number.

72.

72, okay.

That's what we're shooting for.

I won't register until I get the 72 number.

But not what you're shooting for in the tournament.

No, no.

Okay, all right.

That's where I'm trying to register, 72.

I got it.

Yeah, I just want to make sure that's right. So Rick will have that 72 pass right in his chest.
Yes. Okay, I love that.
He'll be riding for us. Yes.
If you win with 72, I mean, we have to put you in the part of my take Hall of Fame. Yeah.
Which I don't think there's anybody in that right. Well, we'll have to pay Rick and we'll just- That's what I want.
Yeah. We'll pay him for the number and we'll just put it up here and be like this is the one that brooks won the masters in yeah that's i'm in um brooks i saw yesterday that anthony kim just found out that you were a major champion because he was off the grid for so long not paying attention to golf did he come up to you and he was he like holy shit dude congratulations that's awesome uh ak's the man he's uh i didn't get to know him because he kind of left right as I was kind of coming up.
But he's a good dude. He's funny.
The nicest guy ever. Yeah.
I mean, it's a crazy story that he's back. It's awesome.
We're all rooting for him. I have two semi-personal questions for you, Brooks.
One, how did you end up on the blackjack table Super Bowl week?

I mean, I was out there Super Bowl week, so

I mean, I felt like it was pretty obvious

I was going to be somewhere at a table. Yeah, I mean,

we were playing together, but did you

end up okay?

Okay, that's a no. That's fair.

I've had better trips. I know that

answer. That's all you had to say.

Two, did you watch

Feet the Streets Arch Madness with Jerry, and didenna maybe watch and be like i could probably have won this um i did not i feel like i should have so um i'm probably gonna have to reach out to jerry now yeah and apologize for that yeah um actually jenna should be apologizing it's not me she was telling me she was going to send feet pics so that's yeah we'll talk to jenna about that yes competed in it I did my nails up Jerry thought I was a woman for about 20 minutes and I saw the competition I think Jenna could have taken it home I think she could have won yeah we're going to have to next year next year's year yeah because I feel like it's going to have to feel like if you win the green jacket and it's like,

what else could this family have?

Oh, Arch Madness.

Those are kind of hand in hand of illustrious awards someone can win.

The fifth major, many say.

Yeah.

You guys would be like the number one family in golf and feet.

If he makes a trophy for it and if she wins it,

there's a big trophy case in my house, like all majors. We'll put in the pillowcase it's a giant foot yeah yes also just a giant foot yeah yeah in the middle too i swear yeah and just so we're clear just because i want to i want to back up jerry here he just wants to make everyone know that like it's not sexual he's just judging feet it's not sexual yeah no i mean it's black and white it's pretty pretty yeah it's just it's.
It's not sexual. Yeah.
No, I mean, it's black and white.

It's pretty.

Yeah.

It's just feet.

He's like an artist that makes statues.

He just appreciates the human form.

It's beautiful.

All right.

So what else?

Like, are you doing anything different, Augusta Week?

Like, your chef's going to be there.

What are we doing?

Meals?

We got to just.

I want to get so focused.

I already bet on you.

20 to 1 is an absolute slap in the face to a guy of your stature uh those are good odds yeah is that what the odds are right now yeah place this bet yeah i did it two days ago 20 to 1 i mean it's just like it's crazy they have no they have no respect for you no none none i love it though i love it because then it just makes everybody out the odds go high it's perfect nobody's betting on me everybody else can make some money off me it's perfect yeah it's a great situation so do you actually like get fuel off being an underdog when people are doubting you no i just think listen whoever's gonna be placing the bet they're gonna win a hell of a lot more money so good for them i'm sure my boys are gonna be that's, all right, great. Yeah, no, it'd be very lucrative for this podcast

if you want. So I would appreciate it if

you did that. Yeah, we might be able to buy the A's.
Again,

yeah, Hank is not allowed to design

merchandise. He's not allowed to even think about

shirts. No jinx.
Hank should

not be allowed to watch the Masters.

I won't say a word, but I'll be rooting for you.

Yeah, don't think about

anything. That's easy for me.
Rule number one.

Did you not read the thing?

Yeah, and rule number four, and also a little bit of rule eight.

Yeah.

Brooks, I don't know if you saw this clip,

but our good friends over at Spittin' Chicklets,

they interviewed JT, and they were talking about the Masters.

And Paul Bissonnette came up with a theory that Augusta

has kidnapped all the squirrels there, or killed all the squirrels in Augusta. Have you seen a squirrel in Augusta? I don't know.
I know they got like speakers in the trees. So that's where you never see birds, but you see or you can hear the bird chirps.
But like sometimes when you get to like 12 and 13, you can look up and you can see the speakers. Yeah.
So I've been kidding from the fans, but we can see them.

I've been thinking about that.

I've been saying they pipe in crowd noise like it's Seattle's field,

except it's at Amon Corner.

They've got speakers up there.

I'm going to be on the lookout for that.

But if you do see a squirrel, please let us know,

because our sharpest mind here at Barstool, Paul Bissonette,

is hard at work cracking that mystery.

If I see a squirrel, I will be very quick to point it out and let Biz know. Okay.
Yeah. Appreciate that.
How is my last question, Roback question, R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com, promo code TAKE, 20% off your first purchase, Q-Zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, everything, Roback.com, and we're in the joggers right now. How are the vibes? That was a good ad read, right? That's great.
Yeah, just black out and don't think about anything. How are the vibes? It feels like this Masters will be a little bit less contentious in terms of, like, the Live and the PGA guys.
You guys are all good now, right? Like, you're not going to have to deal with people side-eyeing you and everything. No, I don't think anybody would be side-eyeing.
I just think, you know, hopefully the PGA guys

don't get into a beer-checking contest

with the lip cast.

I think we would definitely.

You guys would crush that.

You guys would kill that.

That was pitiful.

How many boys saw that?

Yeah.

Yeah, no.

But yeah, I think we would definitely do that.

No, it's all good right now.

Everybody's, I mean, it's fine.

Like I said, I think everybody,

we're in a year and a half of this, so everybody, nobody knows what the hell is going on, so might as well just enjoy the ride. Yeah, I think in a way it could end up being good for golf where it's kind of like WCW, WWE.
You got two rival factions. They'll be reunited at some point.
Have you heard anything about what that would look like when the merger goes through? I have no idea. I don't know if it's to go through if it's not if it's if it is going to go through it's just i mean i know that they're they're meeting um they're having talks but i mean i'm so far removed from that and i think the pga i don't know it seems like the pga guys get a little more info than we do but uh at the same time um i haven't really heard much of it like progressing or going to anything even from the pga guys that I talked to it's a don't think about anything don't think about anything if you do think about one thing if you just like put something in their ear of the PGA tour just be like hey let us wear shorts see I mean it's awesome wearing shorts I'm not gonna lie I love it.
All right, well, Brooks, best of luck. We're rooting for you.
Let's just go win a green jacket this week. I know.
Yeah, that's the goal. 72 right there, fellas.
Not what you're going to shoot. Not what you're going to shoot.
Not what you're going to shoot. 72.
We made that clear. Yes.
All right, Brooks. All right, Brooks.
Go not think about anything, and let's win a Masters. Easy.
Easy done, fellas. Brooks Koepka was brought to you by Visible.

Yeah.
They were at Augusta 24 hours ago. They're here for the Barstool Mini Golf Open, which is teeing off at 8.30 in the morning Central Time.
As you're listening to this, it has already started. Boys, let's start here.
How was your, what were you, 24 hours in Augusta? Yeah, haven't washed our hands or anything because we were just rubbing it against the dirt and the grass in Augusta. Like grass stains on your shirts rolling down hills.
I'm doing sleeping with the shoes on. I'm doing the Masters thing where I'm wearing the gear that I bought so everyone knows that I went and I'm bragging about it because I went.
I have a question about that, and I don't, I one day really want to go to Augusta. It looks incredible.
All of it just is my favorite weekends to sit on the couch and watch the tournament. What has happened in Augusta that has brainwashed people to the point where I saw Marty Smith had he posted a picture of the eclipse glasses that looked like they were maybe 70 cents and they had the augusta logo on it he said these are the coolest eclipse glasses ever not kidding yes right he's right when we went in and they handed those to us we all looked at each other and said this is the most important thing i've ever had to be there i have to that's all right that's a fair answer also because all the other stuff i'm down with like the the the merch the the menu i love all that stuff.
But when we get to eclipse glasses, I was like, all right. Have you seen any other eclipse glasses, though? Those are the coolest eclipse glasses.
I don't know. The ones Frank was wearing was preseason.
I didn't see those. But for the ones that I've seen, I would agree with Marty Smith.
Yeah. Dude, it was also the idea that you were potentially going to be inside of Augusta National during an eclipse.
That feels like fake life shit. True.
I think that was a big part of the appeal. Yeah was a huge part of it i you know i i think that what is it every 20 something years there was one seven years ago they do the masters every year rigs yeah i think the gust thank god i hope that except world war ii they didn't do it for a year yeah so i actually i had um i had a friend that went there i think four years ago jp finley from dc does like uh dc sports radio there and he hit me up he's like do you want any merch while i'm down here i can ship some to you i didn't realize what a big deal it was to get something shipped out of augusta and i i asked him for a pimento cheese sandwich so he got a pimento cheese put it in the mail a little pro tip for everybody don't try to do that it does not arrive fresh no way you want to eat the mayonnaise and the cheese the day that they slice it.
What you guys are saying is it is just as special as it is.

So if you get the Eclipse glasses, they are the best Eclipse glasses.

Yeah, guys like us are like somebody sees that.

You were at Augusta National during that Eclipse.

People go to Austin, Texas or wherever to watch it.

We were at Augusta National.

The efficiency in there is insane with all of the concessions and all that.

You realize we were having a funny conversation being like, it's crazy that everywhere doesn't this you're like oh well everywhere doesn't have unlimited money yeah billionaires that run the whole thing yeah you will be stunned when you go though for the first time the concessions are unlike any other sports concession where it's a walkthrough it's not a walk up and stop and then turn around and go back you just keep moving the whole time and you're grabbing an ald- Like an Aldi? You've been to an Aldi? It's like a really cheap grocery store where it's like a maze, so you can't go back. You just keep going forward.
That's exactly what it is. People are grabbing.
Augusta and Aldi's. Augusta will probably kill me for a second.
I think Ikea's the same way too, right? You just follow the path to the end. Yeah, right.
You just keep going. I think that's right.
But it's that special. It's very- Yeah, they just figured it out because so many people go there with the concessions and the merch that you can't have a line take three hours.
Right. You cannot have that.
So when I was in the merch line yesterday, I looked at it and I said, that's going to take three hours. They have people standing over the sign, this is going to take 18 minutes.
Whoa. It's not going to feel like that when you're looking at it, but it's going to take 18 minutes.
Takes 18 minutes. Takes 18 minutes.
So are you guys at the point now? Because Foreplay, you guys have had so much success. you guys looking at it but it's going to take 18 minutes takes 18 minutes takes 18 minutes so are you guys at the point now because foreplay you guys have had so much success you guys are crushing it by the way we have a stellar blue foreplay uh collab coming out very soon very excited brew uh flavors which are going to be really good people know the flavor yet we're holding it uh i think we're holding it okay yeah we're holding it we're holding it okay that's awesome we're gonna do we're gonna do a golf video i've actually been thinking about maybe doing a- Transfusion coffee.
Well, I was going to drink a pint of cold brew for every hole, and then Hank looked at me like I was insane. He's probably right.
I trust Hank. I think your heart would explode.
Yeah, I trust Hank in these situations, but we'll figure it out. But are you guys at the point now where are you getting any extra, like, is Augusta being like, oh, they're the foreplay guys or that just will never happen no okay in fact Augusta nope not even a little bit nope no we don't I like Dan obviously is more of our golf rider our big J I know he's been on PMT and he's had his credential and we were a little worried like he went from golf digest and legacy Media to Barstool Sports.
You still have a credential at the Masters?

Got it.

But now they almost treat us like we have to walk more on eggshells.

They're like, one of your guys has a credential.

They have leverage.

They got a little leverage on us.

It's like, we got to be careful.

How close are we to playing at Augusta?

Not even close.

They'll never let you get around?

I think we're farther.

Dude, perfect, did it?

Yeah.

All right.

So we had this conversation on our show, too. We were like, like all right they're maybe opening the door to alternative types of media and then we went on their youtube channel dude perfect they have 40 million youtube subscribers we have like 440 000 it's not even like a same bracket at all i was upset when they opened the door to the dp guys because they went out they they defiled augusta they brought like tennis rackets out there they were playing weird sports on the hallowed grounds of Augusta National I didn't like it I thought that was bad for Masters yeah we kind of like started all of us our whole brand being like making fun of old man yell at cloud but we're such Augusta golf guys that we were like that's what you can't allow that at Augusta National I don't even know if we would want them to allow us to film our time yeah that's what I was gonna say I.
I would prefer that they don't give us anything. That's sort of their appeal.
There's been stories of members like, if you really want to be a member at Augusta National, they won't give it to you. If you're too thirsty for an Augusta National membership, they're like, I'm not giving it to that person.
So I think them keeping the door closed, the Dude Perfect thing did make me a little bit mad because of that. But I mean, I would prefer that they're just like, you guys can't come in.
You're saying we're playing it cool. We're like, yeah, we're not even really that worried about ever playing there.
Yeah, because it feels that's the secret society, man. It's like, you can't play on that golf course.
We act like we don't even want to play there. Maybe we'll get to play there.
I think it does turn you into a dad immediately when you go there. You can be like a young, like a rap scallion.
You can be like a rebel and you set foot on there and you're like, I'm going to behave myself perfectly today. I'm going to make sure that I'm wearing a freshly pressed shirt.
I'm going to start narking on the other people next to me that might be yelling inappropriate things. It matures you just being at a gust.
The no phone thing changes everybody. That I'm actually excited for the first time I go.
Dude, it's the best. The first 30 minutes you're going through withdrawals, you're tapping your pocket, you're trying to check your phone, and then you're free.
Yeah. You're free.
Yeah. It was so freeing that yesterday I made a crazy claim that I'm considering going phone-less as a person.
Yeah, that's the dumbest thing you've ever said. It is.
But that's what it does to you. Yeah.
Big cat. That's like me saying I'm going to do a diet.
Right. That's what I was telling you.
No different. I was like, you know your whole life.
Like Hank's saying he's going to dunk. Right, that one.
And it's like, that's our whole life. But it's nice even just asking people for the time.
People with watches in Augusta National are a big deal. So are there any other pro tips? Because that sounds like one that people wouldn't think about before they go there.
Like wear a watch so you know what time it is. Any other pro tips for like your first time going to Augusta? I would say one of the biggest ones is you you truly have to commit if you know someone else that's going of meeting somewhere at a certain time because you just oh we're all going i'll see next week's gonna be great you get out there like i have absolutely no way to communicate with this human yeah so it's it's jarring you cannot communicate if you lose somebody it's over it's like you're in a seinfeld episode dude you go back in time if you go into the restroom together with someone and like they go to this and then afterwards you didn't agree on where you legit might not find them for the rest of the day yeah that's kind of cool yeah it's very cool uh it's like yeah like old i mean pft and i date ourselves a lot you guys are a little older as well but like the idea of like going to like a bowling alley as a kid and and my mom giving me like a a dime or a quarter and being like just call you want to get picked up to get picked up.
And the pay phone. I really dated myself.
They have not paid. They just have phones, old school.
And we were like, oh, yeah, we should call somebody. We don't know any phone number.
Yeah, right. You don't have anybody.
911, that's the only number I'm going to call. Yeah, it's a little tough.
They should do just like text phones where you can text somebody at a pay phone that you know they're going to be next to. Beepers.
Beeper. Yeah.
I just invented beepers. Just invented beepers.
All right. Last question before we get to Hank's questions.
Everyone give a pick. Give us a pick.
Are you guys worried about Scotty and the baby? Honestly, Scotty, I'm worried about Scotty ruining the tournament because he's so much better than everyone else. But are you worried about the baby? Because he said that he would leave the grounds if his wife goes into labor.
Now it's their first child, and I think the due date's not until the end of the month, so it should be okay. But would that not be the craziest thing ever if he's killing everyone? Oh, I was going to ask you guys, what would you, with your kid, if it's your first kid? If I was winning the Masters, I would not leave.
You wouldn't leave. If I was winning the Masters, I would not leave.
First kid. First kid.
If I was winning the Masters, if I was winning the Masters, I would not leave. In contention.
I would say if I. In contention, maybe I would leave because then I could always be like, I would have won.
The kid will be there tomorrow. If I'm in the last group of the Masters, I'm not leaving.
I'll name my kid Augusta. Yeah.
How about that? Yeah. You're always going to remember that kid.
The kid will understand, too, once he grows up. The kid, they'll be like, good call, Dad.
Yeah. I like the storyline just because it's something to follow.
It's like, is it going to? Because if it happens, like the footage of Scottie Shuffler running off the golf course would be incredible. Yeah, and then it's Scottie, and then who's the other one? Sam Burns.
Sam Burns. He actually, I think his wife is like a week away.
Yeah, she's a lot closer. Yeah, that is a lot more nerve-wracking, because I think Scotty will be fine.
I also think there's a funny dynamic of two of them are best friends, but Scotty's number one player in the world has won the Masters before. If you're Sam Burns and you've never won the Masters, never won a major championship, and then he's sort of in this spot where he's like, Scotty said he was going to go, and you're like well i haven't won the bat yeah scotty kind of screwed him on because his baby's also not due for a lot longer and that's the first which usually the due date's about right with the first i think that's the math though if you have more green jackets or equal amount of green jackets as you have children then you stay to try to get another so if you have if you've won it twice and you're about to have your third kid then you stay and you try to win on sunday if if it's the other way around then you have to go if it's your first kid you've got two green jackets you got to i would leave if i was if i was in if i was like 15th i would be like all right i'm leaving and then i can just tell everyone i would have won how are they going to let them know how are they going to call them someone they they have they a bat phone.
They've got telepathy out there.

Beepers, remember?

We invented beepers.

Yeah, it's true.

Called us a number.

All right, so wait, who's your pick to win?

My long shot pick is Jason Day.

Okay.

Plus, I think he's 6,000, 60 to 1.

Remember that time he collapsed?

Yep.

That was pretty funny.

Vertigo.

He's a big Vertigo guy. You can laugh about Vertigo.

Yeah, I think that was Chambers Bay.

Yeah.

And then he contended at the Masters a handful of years ago, and he had like a broken back the whole time. I like Jason Day.
Okay, Trent. I'm taking Brooks.
Okay. 20 to 1.
We already took it. Big game, Hunter.
He really wants this one too. And he's very cocky right now.
By the way, we should update everyone. Yeah, he is very cocky.
So everyone just listened to Brooks. We had him on.
And he was like, I'll pick the – we did the we did the lottery ball and he's like whatever number comes up i'll just pick that for my caddy 72 came up and in classic brooks fashion he texted me and he said that he like zoned out and cam smith jumped in front of him so he got number 73 which is perfect bro it's perfect yeah he's like i literally just look i was just staring out the window, and then he jumped right in front of me, and so I got 73. He's locked in.
I've seen this Brooks before where he's just in fuck it mode, and he's not thinking about anything. That's rule number one, four, and eight.
I don't know if you guys saw. I did it in Golf Digest 10 rules, and three out of 10 of them were don't think.
Smart. They're just different versions of don't think.
Yeah, he's like talking shit. He's taking little shots of people.
He was having some Lucy out there on the range today. He is very cocky.
Dude, and he's healthy. Him being healthy, he can win any tournament in the world, and he loves the majors, obviously.
So I feel very good about that. His presser today, too.
If someone asked a question that he thought was a dumb question, he basically just said that's a dumb question. Yeah, well, that guy asking, can you shoot 59 here? That guy was asking everybody that guy was asking everybody that it's so crazy laughed at him said have you played the course yeah he's like no okay dude shut up uh all right guys on golf we got some questions from the listeners yes we do hank hey fellas huge fan of the podcast i'm 24 and now that i'm working nine to five and me and all my boys are washed up we've taken up up golf.
I'm in a top-tier vibes-wise guy on the course, but bottom-tier and actual skill and play of my golfing friends. Which do you recommend for getting better at golf, hitting a simulator for a couple hours and playing a virtual course or going to the range and hitting a bucket of balls? I don't think I've gotten better at golf since we started all of this.
I love series against the haters, though. That's great.
That's fucking awesome. Great idea.
Thank you. I appreciate that.
The problem is nobody actually wants to play. Of course, because they're cowards.
It's infuriating. Yeah.
As you go through, we were like, oh, yeah, any of the videos I post, we'll just go through, look at all the comments. They're all insanely negative, and just message those people.
Be like, hey, we'd love to have a match, and none of them will actually do it. We got to get you hooked up with our buddy Andrew Santino because he had a similar idea to hold an actual tournament with the haters.
So if you did that with him, it'd be hilarious. He was like, we'll just invite all of them out because then in numbers, I feel like the haters feel a little more of a safety blanket.
Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
And that would be great. So wait, Trent, what's your you've gotten a lot better at golf.
Yeah, I think you got to go to go to the range simulator golf. Although you guys have a simulator here and I can't stop hitting balls over there.
Like this place is incredible. I think you got to go to the range.
That's that's just where you get better. Not no mats, no simulator.
Just go to the range and hit a bunch of balls. I also- That's it.
Cliche as it may sound, taking even one lesson, I think, makes a massive difference. You realize you don't know what the fuck you're doing.
Yeah. I'm of the mindset that I will never let another man teach me how to swing.
That's me. I've taken a couple lessons, and I feel like every time I take a lesson, I learn one thing that I can take.
It's like 10 lessons, I get one thing that I can take. So I need to take probably about 600 more lessons and I might be okay.
You're going to be right there. You're going to be dialed in.
What about just watching a YouTube video before you go to sleep? I like to do that and then I think about the YouTube video in my sleep. Subconscious.
Yeah, subconscious works. Next thing you know, I get into a bunker shot in the morning.
Have you ever watched that YouTube video where the guy tries to fix the slice and he just never gets to the point yeah because he's there's so many of those guys i love those guys that are selling like their informational dvd or whatever and you have to watch the youtube video and then he's just like it's so easy it's so simple and he never tells this is the one key tip to fix that slice what is it and there's like a line of these the most unathletic looking weirdos that are like, he fixed my swing.

Now I'm hitting 275 right down the middle.

And he's like, all you gotta do is come to my seminar.

Yeah.

I watched like 50 minutes of it when we were at Pinehurst and he just never got to that.

Yeah.

The main reason I say that about Lesothi too is because the amount of times that any of

us have gone to a range and air quotes practiced and had no idea what you're actually practicing

or doing is every time. And then you walk off and you're like i actually have i don't think i learned anything right well let me ask you guys because brooks says that he doesn't think about anything at all when he hits every time i learn something new i have like another thing that i think about as i'm swinging and then i forget about the previous thing i was thinking about that fixed my old problem now i've got my old, but I fixed my new one.
Do you guys think about anything at all, like consciously keep your arm tucked? The more I think about stuff, the worse I am. Right.
Brooks is in a position when he's not thinking about anything, that's why he's one of the best in the world because he doesn't have to think about anything, doesn't have to think about keep your elbow tucked, go this far back. If you can have no thoughts, he's actually right because then it's's all athleticism and what you know yeah and brooks had in the full swing series in season one like one of my favorite sort of clips because he obviously comes on here and he's great we laugh about him not really giving a shit about golf so the time but you could see how frustrated he was there yeah and he had all the quotes about how like yeah when you're sucking or struggling or whatever you've got a trillion thoughts he's like i bet scotty Shefford doesn't have any thoughts.
And they cut to Scotty Shefford and Meredith, like, walking down. Yeah, down the street.
Yeah, having golf. And that sums up golf perfectly.
So, yeah, if you can. That's something I've honestly been doing better lately when I've been hitting better is on the range.
You work on all this stuff where you're thinking about this. You have seven swing thoughts.
When you go to the course, you just honestly just swing. As crazy as that sounds like.
My best rounds have when i think about tempo that's it i think i honestly think about freddy couples in my head if you if you want to watch golf youtube videos just watch freddy couples swing and you don't have to you know mimic his swing but his tempo is what you want yeah so sweet it's so sweet you don't have to swing hard you don't have to swing fast just it's very easy the technology and the clubs are so good now that they're going to do a lot of the work for you if you just sort of keep things in control and hit the ball it's going to go and if you just do it slow you'll be it's funny feel versus real people talk about all the time you'll feel like you're going as slow as molasses and then you'll see your swing on video and you'll still be going fast yeah so just slow everything down that's what i do and i gotta say shout out to the vibes guy because you can suck out there as long as you're just a good vibes guy. Like one guy I saw when like an amateur tournament got up and he said the best thing I ever learned was if you can't play great, just like be great to play with.
Yeah. And that's such a good point.
So if the vibes guy is always bringing the vibes, then he's doing a great job. That is a good point.
All right,er personalities like personality traits i should say like uh selecting good music not being slow obviously saying you're gonna love that i know you're great at that no matter what you're you're the king of that yeah sometimes they're sarcastic picking up the round with the car curl yep that's a good one any yeah anybody who capitalizes on opportunities to acquire alcohol yeah i feel like that compliments i like to compliment but not shot but not in a belittling not in a sarcastic way but actually do like that's a great shot uh-huh yeah not playing slow is a big one just kind of knowing when you're out of the hole if you're on if you're on swing i'm good at that if you're on swing eight and you're still like 170 yards out just pick that sucker up sucker up and let's go. There's nothing better than when you see a guy who's clearly out of the hole and you're looking back being like, are we going to have to – and he's just walking towards the hole with a ball in his pocket.
He's done. Like, nope, I'm out on this one.
I'm good at that because I will be out of like multiple holes in a row. Like if I have a really bad one, I'll be like, that's it for the next three.
Me and Big Cat conceded a hole off our tee shot. I played against you guys.
I was in that. People were like, you guys are such pussies for doing that.
It's like, why? We suck. It's funny to concede.
I thought that was admirable. If a guy's in pocket and then he goes up and pulls the pin out and is like, oh, what do you guys see here and is still involved, you're killing it.
Actually, can I ask you guys a question? Hypothetically, if you're playing golf, you're on a course, maybe with your producer of your podcast your podcast right maybe the guy that's been producing you since like the start he's been around for a while mic click on and uh i don't know who could have turned the mic on there but you have to pee right everyone's got to pee on the golf course no big deal yeah would you recommend pulling your penis out and and peeing directly onto the middle of the cart path as it's about to trickle down on everybody's shoes that are right behind yeah i would say generally pick the surface that absorbs water the worst yeah and pee right onto it preferably uphill and into the wind yeah yeah the only surface that doesn't absorb pee on the golf course would you pee right onto that when i heard that from the hypothetical it's hypothetical when i heard that there could be a hypothetical like this I've played golf thousands of times. I've never seen that move in my life.
Yeah. Not once.
Change the game. Hypothetically.
Hypothetically. Hypothetically.
All right, Hank, what's the next one? Ask the foreplay, boys. Once Tiger inevitably retires, who is their number one guy after that? Oh, good question.
Ooh. And it can't be Charlie Woods because we have dibs.
You guys do have dibs on that. Yeah.
i know dibs on dibs on that i have dibs on charlie yeah charlie's gonna be he's he's gonna be on that couch before you know yeah oh boy um ah man i would say i'm trying to think of someone that isn't like uh a friend because that's always a little you You know what I'm saying Yeah because you can't criticize the same way well yeah and like Tiger we don't want Tiger to be our friend really like he's our guy, he's an icon, he's above being our friend kids are somebody that we're close with it's like oh yeah I root for that guy but he's kind of your buddy whatever I would say he is kind of our friend but Joel Damon, I just root for I just root for that guy I think he's so regular I feel like in the second season of Full Swing he kind of got dogged a little bit and they just made him look like he just drinks 24-7 365 which is not accurate he cares on that so I don't know I just like Joel Damon that was the first name that popped into my head I don't even really like to look into the future like that with Tiger because it makes me sad. But I think it would probably be Joel.
But we still got probably 10 years left with Tiger. We're fine.
Of what? No, no. We're fine.
Okay. We don't have to do that.
Did you guys talk at all about the abstinence thing? Yeah. Yeah.
I think it's going to backfire. We want Tiger to fuck.
That's what we said. Yeah.
Why would that be the formula? He's probably going to try to fuck Max. Well, maybe.
Max might max might try to fuck him that's a good looking dude well i that made no sense to us and i don't know where the rumor came from but like in the prime of tiger's career he was fucking yeah right so to not fuck right i think that's the answer is idiotic but he then again like he's got leg problems so maybe he's trying to save up all his energy that's fair fair. Maybe just a blowjob.
Yeah. It's blowjob era.
It's the blowjob era. It's the blowjob era.
It would rock if Tiger was like, I'm not having intercourse, anal only, for the two weeks leading up to the Masters. This is no sex policy.
My jigs suck. Just butt stuff.
I think everyone's on the same page. I hadn't seen all business Pete in like two years.
The first thing he said to me, he's like, I feel like Tiger needs to be fucking like I yeah I think everybody feels that way so uh yeah it's concerning very concerning yeah he might have also just been a classic Tiger like bait and switch where he said it and then like the hottest girls hit him up and like I'll fix you he's single yeah right we're doing that on purpose not that it would have mattered but we're dealing with a single Tiger Woods yeah uh all right let's do two more Hank my friends and i are not great at golf but enjoy playing nine holes every now and then we almost always walk when playing nine but walking coupled with a few bad shots leads to groups behind us talking shit saying we aren't playing fast enough sometimes i understand this but when we are playing at a public course and the angry group behind us is riding in a cart do they really have a leg to stand on how are we possibly supposed to play at the pace of the group behind us who's in a cart when we are walking? Isn't this just like depending on the course? Yeah. Like there's walking courses and there's...
There's also... Yeah.
I mean, it sounds... If it's ever cart path only, I think you just walk every time.
Right. Cart path only sucks.
You drive up. You got to run all the way across.
You inevitably... Just piss everywhere.
The cart path's on the right. You always hit it left.
You're bringing like three clubs out there and you never grab the one that you wanted. So I think walking is actually faster if it's Carpath only.
But in the other situation, I mean, I just tell them to go fuck. I don't know.
Yeah. I don't know what you do.
Tell them to walk because walking is underrated. I agree.
If you're out there with buddies and you want to drink and you're having like a big group like i get getting in a cart but if you find a course and you find like a slot of time where you can walk it's amazing it does feel great it's sound i sound kind of like the old like romanticism of golf guy you've evolved on that oh yeah i used to be cart guy only but then recently within the last couple years i would walk nine holes never 18 i'm gonna die out there but if i walk nine holes it's fucking beautiful yeah because in a cart you almost aren't looking at the scenery around you right you're outside you forget that when sometimes when you're in a cart it's like shot grab a beer drive to the next shot hit it get in the cart go when you're just walking you're just you're taking it all in it's also actually more social with the whole group yeah for sure sounds counterintuitive because obviously you're chit-chatting with your one guy but the other two you only see them on the tee they go to their ball you go to yours whatever when you're all four kind of walking together it is it's nice peaceful it's more social and this is with caddies yeah if you yeah we're not carrying our own bags yeah i i have been recently but you think you get the cart oh yeah yeah cart. Yeah, push cart's nice.
I like the cart that just follows you around everywhere. Yeah, the little R2-D2 thing.
Yeah, those things are sweet. That's a classic country club older guy move, and he just plays every Saturday and Sunday morning and just hits a little button, and his thing goes down.
Yeah. That's awesome.
All right, Hank, last question. Oh, he's having trouble reading.
Last year, Liv Golfers killed it finishing at the top of the master spots and really showed out my question is this year do you think PGA players or live golfers will do better at the masters this year uh yeah I mean I would say we were that was shocking last year to a lot of people because yeah you know there was kind of a belief that the live guys weren't playing as much it's not as competitive the. The fields aren't as deep, blah, blah, blah.
And then, obviously, Brooks almost won the Masters, won the PGA. Phil finished second in the Masters.
There are a bunch of other names up there. So I think it'll be close.
I really do. I think Jon Rahm is maybe the second favorite.
I think he is. Third favorite.
Also, Liv has gotten so many good golfers now. Gotten a ton.
Even guys that don't get talked about a ton, like Garcia was leading a lot uh last week on Liv he's a he could contend at the Masters easily you got T. Earl Hatton who nobody really talks about who's a great guy to watch play helicopters clubs all over the place he's somebody that could contend so I think it'll be honestly be pretty damn close now yeah you also just find that these are the best golfers in the world right like and they get up for these big tournaments so regardless of how they're playing or what tour they're playing on they're probably we found out last year that they're probably going to play pretty well yeah yeah do we know what it's going to look like when they merge the two any idea they have been incredibly tight-lipped because i don't think they know i think i think john roms also like gave a uh his his answers made it seem like they're very far apart

because it feels like he went to Liv being like

don't worry we'll just be the PGA in like

a year. Yeah he was kind of the guy

that when he went it felt like

he went as the tipping point of

Tor was going to be like oh

shit we really got to get something done or Liv's

just going to keep taking all of our players. Right.

Rom was going to be the last guy that cashed in. He got

three, four, six hundred million whatever it was and then he seemed frustrated he does yeah it's not working which sucks so you know it's a little split like we talk about it a ton obviously on our show as you can imagine and we get a little bit annoyed that the best players you know are playing together all time but other people make the point that they don't really play together or didn't all the time anyways like it wasn't like they all played the same tournaments. They really didn't.
It wasn't that common that you got Rory and Rom and Tiger and Phil back when they were all together playing and contending in the same tournament. That never fucking happened.
Right. So it's frustrating for us because Brooks and Rom and those guys that we love watching play.
All of the interesting guys went. Yeah.
Patrick Reed, as much as you can say. Polarizing guys went and when you lose that from the the main tour or whatever you want to call the main tour it it lessens the product and it's more boring like at first we talked about this on the show too like at first when this all started to happen we were like this is great for guys like us because it's all storylines who's gonna jump how much money they take and this is incredible now we're in like a holding pattern where everybody who all the big names who were going to jump have jumped yeah and all we've done is split the talent pool right so when you watch even if you watch the pga tour or if you watch live whichever one you're watching a watered down product yeah and for a sport like golf that is not cool enough to water down its product we are now fucking the sport over completely yeah it's also guys like Patrick Reed and Bryson are like, Bryson was the biggest headline guy forever, whether you hated him or loved him.
And those guys are headline guys and drive it when they're unhappy about stuff. Right.
Now they're at Live and they're like, this is great. Our lives are awesome.
So they're never in the headline anymore. When they're at the tour, they bitch.
They hated the other players. Their wives hated the other players.
It was amazing. Now they never bitch about anything.
Yeah. So it's just.
That's true. It's a mess.
To go back to the original question, I don't think they're close. Yeah.
I don't know when it's going to come together. Yeah.
It sucks. I like the strategy, though.
Let's give Patrick Reed so much money he won't steal from his teammates ever again. But he probably still is thinking about it.
Yeah. Oh, that would be great if Patrick Reed did a Tiger headline.
He was like, I'm not stealing for two weeks. Yeah.
You know what would rock? It would rock if they offered Rory like $500 million to join Liv for like a year, and then he just bounced for the PGA Tour. He would.
He went back on everything. $500 million.
I think if he went, that would like, there'd be riots in the streets. Probably not because it's golf, but like if he went, there's so many clips of him being like, I hate Liv.
I'll never go. But at this point, that's kind of what Rom did and what you were saying, Dan, where he was thinking he's going to take the money and we're all going to be playing the same events here anyway.
And I think it's probably going to end up that way eventually, but it might be two years. Yeah, it might be a while.
One thing I don't like is when the players or anyone really in any situation where they take a ton of money say like, I had to do it for my family. Because what I don't understand, like, when has raising a kid and just giving them $100 million worked out? Yeah.
Never. No, it's just an easy way.
People love to do it whether they're, like, in controversy or, like, a situation like this. Like, I'm thinking about my family.
Right. And I'm like, Rob, you already had $50 or $100 million.
That's plenty for any family. I don't understand what that means.
If your son wakes up and you hand them trust fund and endless money, that kid's going to be dead by the time they're 25. What he should say and what the reality is, he should be like, I'm thinking about my great, great grandchildren.
Cause that's what the money, that's where the money, like you, when you get to a certain point, it's like, you can't spend all that. You're just setting up all the ROMs for the rest of the life.
Provide them a safety net and all that. But you still got to like raise a human being being in order for them to work out sexually.
You can't just throw money at them. So that always kind of drives me crazy, but I still would have taken the money.
Well, especially now because the original guys, the DJs and the Bubbas and all, they took the brunt of it. If you jump now, nobody cares.
No, no one gives you. The first guys had to be like, you know, I'm really passionate about team-style golf.
Yeah. And so it wasn't about the money at all.
And the reporter would be like, we were asking you about 9-11. i don't know why you're talking about team golf no did you say 9 11 no is that is that the the length of the shorts that they're going to play is that the inseam and now nobody even the rom stuff rom jumped and two days later people are like all right that's cool that's yeah sounds good um all right you guys want to pick some numbers yes all right should we.
Should we do numbers? Should we finish the show?

By the way, Trent, I literally gasped when I saw you in linen.

You looked so hot.

You looked so hot.

Thank you.

I really appreciate that.

We were shooting a commercial, and they were like, put on all this linen, and I did, and

something shifted in me.

You looked hot.

It stopped me in my tracks on Twitter.

I was just like, whoa.

I need linen.

I've already been shopping for linen.

Yeah.

I already ordered a shirt.

It just looked fucking cool. It looked like you just look relaxed.
And you're comfy, too. Yeah, right.
That's what you're looking for. Yeah, right.
You look good. No one ever calls me hot.
Today, people are calling me hot. So if I'm comfortable and people are like, you look good, that's the route.
It was a tough hour for me because the whole premise was kind of like Trent was shitting on me a little bit.

It was awesome.

And we had to do the take many, many times,

so we just kept pulling up next to me and shitting on me looking really hot.

It was awesome.

Well, I mean, we did a commercial where the whole thing was that we have small dicks

and we had to basically be naked for it.

So it could be worse.

Definitely.

You'll be all right.

Hot Trent shitting on me is fine.

Yeah.

All right. Numbers, what do you guys got in the booth 8 40 20 3 18 99 Pug There we go Pug 21 Alright what do you guys got 55 16 I'll go 73 Cause it's gonna be 16th major for Tiger 16th Tiger's not even gonna make the cut.
Tiger's going to make the cut. He's healthy.
He looked really good in the practice run. I'll bet him to make the cut.
If he makes the cut, that's a win for Tiger. I picked 16 because it's his 16th major.
He's going to win this week. He makes the cut and doesn't withdraw.
It's like 10. 10.
10. Who's got nine? Anyone got nine? No.
Nine majors? Gary Player? I think Gary Player. All right, so Gary Player's going to bet on Gary Player.

All right.

All right, 87-year-old man.

Everyone go subscribe to 4Play.
