The PGA’s Deep State, Dunhill misery, and Ryder Cup Karaoke | The Shotgun Start

Just when we thought we were out, he pulls us back in! After declaring this podcast done with Don Rea until Year in Review, Brendan starts this episode off with the late-breaking news of Don Rea’s karaoke performance after Saturday of the Ryder Cup. According to the Times of London, D-Rabbit reportedly took the mic at his hotel and performed Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” in front of player families and more onlookers. Andy is stunned by the song choice, thinking that an Eagles song would be more up Don’s alley. Everyone is wondering when and where the video of this historical moment will inevitably come out and PJ is debating on making some calls across Long Island to see if he can procure it. With Don’s one-year anniversary as PGA of America president coming up, Andy ponders if he makes it through half of his two-year term. Brendan is aghast at the “Deep State” of European media and PGA of America members who are trying to cancel Don, demanding that this cannot happen, if only for the sake of this podcast. Before running through this week’s results, Andy and Brendan also provide an incredible update on the “Lotte at Lottie’s” challenge! In actual golf news, Tommy Gainey secured his first win on the Champions Tour and Andy believes that this may mark the end for the senior circuit in more ways than one. Speaking of the Lotte, the LPGA’s unique winner streak carries on after non-member sponsor exemption Youmin Hwang took home the win. Big Shot Bob MacIntyre won a rainy, cold Dunhill just a week after battling at Bethpage. The weather was so bad in Scotland that the event was shortened to 54 holes, causing some Pro-Am celebs to walk off the course due to the conditions. On the PGA Tour, Steven Fisk chased down Garrick Higgo at the Sanderson to win his first-ever PGA Tour title. Andy pops PJ about the latest Jets loss and there’s some network television discussion to round out this quick Sunday recording.

Greetings and welcome to a Monday edition of the Shotgun Start. It is October 6th. Andy, how we doing, Brendan? I’m doing fantastic. It’s victory Monday over here. Uh Illinois, what are we talking about here? Not the Cubs. Illinois football won, but more importantly, a Lii that that lost his tour card is heading back after a win at the compliance solutions championship, setting the the scoring record on the corn ferry tour in the process. ADDC Adrien Dumont Deart is back on the PGA tour. There we go. You know, watch out Ryder Cup 2027. Here he comes. him and Dietri return hot. When he came out hot, they were saying, you know, he could be a writer cuper by this time next year, you know, and then it sort of went away. People wanted him on the 2023 team. I’m not going to mention who. Yeah. Yes. Yes. I remember that. They want wanted him in Rome. Was it you? Were you arguing for that? Like I mean, we just kind of maybe a Kevin Twe take, you know. Uh, good. I’m glad for you. Victory Monday. You got that going for you. Bears are off. Cubs got blasted. I saw right out of the gate. These these games seem pretty bad the second round here. A lot of like 10 nothing it feels like. Uh and again today with the Yankees. So, you know what, the uh with everything going on with with Colin Reyes dad, um I’m just surprised they could even get out on the field on on on Saturday. Uh the story I guess I think we signed off Friday said we’re done with him until year in review I think is what I said we weren’t we were 12 hours out of the done with him before we get a report in the times of London like this proper sort of hoy toy newspaper no no not the f just the times the Sunday times of London not the financial times I mean this hidy toy paper is reporting on Don Ray’s karaoke sitting at the Ryder Cup. Uh this was an article Saturday, I believe, Saturday night. It became the Sunday Times by Tom Kershaw. Uh I will note just for the listeners, I believe Mr. Kershaw has been a frequent source, a frequent interviewer of the the Schoffley family, Xander and Stefan. He’s written done interviews with them. So it totally makes sense. You know, his affiliation his affiliation with with Southern California has to be how they how he got close with the Shaw lace. I wonder he’s got to be glued with with Clayton’s last playoffs. It’s his brother. He’s from Highland Park. Ended up writing for the London Times. Um so Kershaw, I don’t know. I’m just rubbing my chin. raising an eyebrow. He clearly has a good relationship with the Schoffley’s. And he got this little bit from inside the uh team hotel, the US team hotel. Despite the escalating situation, the Sunday Times understands Don Rehea raised eyebrows later that evening at official hotel for players, families, and guests by singing karaoke while others watched a college football game. Rehea, who’s been a PJ of America member since 2001 and was appointed president last year, attention in particular for a song choice. Lose Yourself by the rapper Eminem. Now, if you can imagine the the visual of Rhea just with the mic probably hopping, you know, from left to right on his Jordans cuz man, these goddamn food stamps don’t buy diapers. Do you think he was just belting that to tune out from Eminem? I I How much would you pay at this point to see this in person? I mean, real money. I I would pay like I mean, I would expense it to business Pete, I think, and I would pay like 60 bucks, I think. I like I was Europe. You can’t you still you cannot cancel somebody for being an idiot. You can’t cancel him for singing Eminem. This is not cancelable. But they’re trying to drag this out. And I hope it’s just a slow drip for the rest of time. It feels like European newspaper. Somebody from the inside of the Americans. I had to rat him out. Like you should have seen him doing Lose Yourself on Saturday night. I Well, I think it was it was a joint hotel. That’s right. the Garden City deal with the with the the Garden Shitty or whatever we were calling it after Luke Donald gave it that. No, he wasn’t at the Garden City. It was at the the family hotel. Oh, that’s right. With Caddies. They kept him away. That’s right. The Hilton or something. But it said it was a dinner just for for players, players wives and stuff like that. Um, is this a big deal? No deal. Just amusement. I I I think it’s telling that like at the time they were getting their ass beat too. Like what are you They’re getting their ass beat and players are having to stop just stop on greens because of fan abuse and this guy’s singing Lose Yourself karaoke. It probably Yeah. I mean, the only re the only way you’re singing Lose Yourself in karaoke is if you’re a few few cocktails deep, right? I I mean, that’s that’s got to be I’d be more even more impressed though if he was stone cold sober. He couldn’t have been. I would hope not. I mean, this guy is leading the organization and he’s doing karaoke as they’re getting killed. I There was a guy on Florida State, I think, who celebrated to like go down 20 28 to like 10 when he scored a touchdown. I mean, but this guy’s not even a player. Dancing around doing karaoke. An incredible tidbit. An incredible solid choice. I need more info. Were other people, I assume, doing karaoke. What if he just decided to turn it into a car? What if there was like a live performance? He goes, “Nope. I’m going to crowbar my way in and make this a karaoke bit now.” So So Don gets two years as PGA president. He was elected November 8th of last year. Okay. So, he’s do he make it to one year? Yes. Is my first question. Yes. He’s a bozo, but like you can’t he’s not like unless they find some really horrible stuff. Singing karaoke is not cancelable. Um, even that inter Yeah, you know, it wasn’t PGA didn’t handle the crowds well. So, uh, but but that can’t all fall on him and his quotes about were not good. You think he makes it a year? I hope. I mean, like I I want to see the PGA next year. I want to see the senior PGA. I’m gonna be glued to my TV waiting for him. I you know what I’m actually hoping for deep down? Maybe maybe he needs some image rehab and we can launder his image on Lunch with the boys. Can I follow up just a little bit? Joseph PJ, good to see you. No, I I would you have us go through potential karaoke songs? What What would you have What would you want the list of questions to be? Listen, Paige, you know that I’m very handsoff with these types of things. I I put my full faith in you two. You figure it out to come to come up with with a good set of questions here. Okay. You know, karaoke is all the rage these days for golf officials. So, I figured I figured maybe that’s the line of questioning we want to go down. It could be a great one. There’s a lot of questions you could go down. You could also ask, you know, what are the other engines of good? But all I know is golf is the engine of good. Well, there aren’t any cuz golf is the singular, not an the one. A lot of people are asking for uh for shirts. They are merchandise. Um the uh other thing that was hot this weekend before we get to the golf was the was the ladies challenge, the load ch. I mean, we’ve done some senseless things on this podcast, but among this is among the dumber things that organically has grown up out of off-hand comment. Well, it got me thinking, you know, peacup next year, Chicago. Yeah, Ly’s live show has to happen. We could do that. Let’s like lay the groundwork with the people at Lahis. You’re going to be there this week, right? forever. I was thinking about maybe try to go in on Monday night. I I don’t think I’m gonna be able to make it though. I’m gonna be a little low on sleep. Do you feel bad for Don Rehea at all? No. No. The guy wants He wanted this light. He wanted the spotlight. This was not some civilian wallflower. You could tell this is this is someone who’s been, you know, waiting for his day in the sun. As as the great Al Jameson, the Cal Club president, he one of the great podcasts on on Friday feed ever. He said about committees and at clubs. He said he said you never want someone on a committee or on the board that wants to be on the board. Yeah. Right. He said the key to committees is getting people that want no part of being on the committee to be on the committee. and Don Rehea. I think the PGA, if they operated in this capacity, they went around. There’s so many great PGA pros. So many great PGA pros. But I think they generally get the [ __ ] that actually want to be president, right? And this is a perfect this is maybe the the sterling the the top tier example of never ever elect somebody president that’s in it for their own personal gain. And Don Rehea, I mean, from the jump, from that first interview or press conference where he’s talking about his personal opinion and he’s talking about the, you know, following up and just blowing smoke up everybody’s asses about the roll back. Was clear that this was a campaign for for more for Don Rehea. Uh yeah, they’ve had some I mean this that position it’s like politicians, you know, you don’t always get the best and brightest who want that. I mean, think about like Ted Bishop kind of a goofball, right? That one guy who wouldn’t stop getting DUIs, like heavy like extreme DUIs. Levy, I think it was. You got Don Rehea. You got these people like there’s many great PGA pros. I think we’re talking about like an organization that just then all of a sudden they’re like the top of professional golf every two years. They’re like this elite elite thing and it’s just these these Yahoos that like are into getting elected. You had Susie whe telling a New York crowd to be quiet also this this week. I’m speaking of past presidents. Yeah. Why was she the first crowbar in her way is still into the first tea announcer and not going to national at least. Yeah. Um, yeah, the guy the guy who’s supposed to keep probably a top on on Rehea is a former president himself, right? Derek Sprag. And he just seems like kind of a a a nothing burger, which is good by comparison to, you know, Rehea and DUI person and all these other things. He’s he’s good to be just sort of a a mayonnaise sandwich, two pieces of white bread. But then you had the guardrails of a president or a CEO. I should say. Whereas like Seth Wah or um God, who’s the guy who went to NBC in Notre Dame? Notre Dame. Bakqua. Yeah, Bavakqua. Um and that’s gone. So, we’re getting reports about karaoke Saturday night. Lose yourself. PJ, what was your reaction when you saw that come across your desk? I uh well the immediate reaction as well as everybody is that there has to be video of this somewhere like on some cell phone or on some security camera. I I’ve started to think about like can I kind of pound the beat here on Long Island and see if there’s like a CCTV video with audio anywhere? Like do I know a friend of a friend of a friend who might get us there? Cuz you know I don’t know if you guys saw Yaser did karaoke at St. Andrews. There’s plenty of video of that. So I think there is video too. Former Jets great. No, I didn’t I didn’t think we had to go into this immediately. Former Bears great I’ll say. uh played played for your team, too. All right, let’s relax. Let’s relax. God, I thought I had a bad weekend. At least I’m not Mark Sanchez. At least you’re not Mark Sanchez. Arrested and stabbed. That’s a double. And potentially lost a fight to a 69year-old. I didn’t read the specifics, but he sounded like the aggressor. Yeah, he was. And he still came out with the stab wounds, which seems bad. Yeah. Um, yeah. No, I I mean I think I think Don uh Don strikes me as an Eminem guy. I was Were you surprised by the song choice at all? I was surprised. Oh, really? Yeah. You figured it’d be like Palen or something like that. I don’t know. I could have seen like the Eagles. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. One’s on to another. I mean, Bob Seager. Oh, Bob Seager. That’s Bob Seager’s. Do you think this Do you think this is a a birdie or a bogey in the next email? He shouldn’t have to answer for this. They’re trying to defame him at this point. What do you think? This is the deep state is working against Don at this point. What do you think Don is saying? Are you calling this utter woke nonsense on on the European media cancelling Don? Well, and the deep state from the inside his own operation. They’re leaking it to international news sources. Yes. I think I think Don is probably just like like they’re just kicking me while I’m down. They have nothing else to talk about. New level, new devil. You wanted the spotlight, boy. You got it. I mean, he made a campaign website. He actively campaigned. He had stickers. At this point, you should just put a clown’s nose on and a wig for his next press conference cuz he’s just kidding. Absolutely. Well, that’s the thing now. Now, unless something else comes out, you look at the calendar, October 5th here, he’s probably, you would think he goes quietly into that good night for a little while here, right? Like there’s a lot of opportunities left. I’m just going to I might suggest I might suggest that there’s trouble brewing in Port St. Lucy and I’ll leave it at that. Oh no. Well, Blocky’s got nothing else to do cuz he can’t play on the Champ store anymore. So now he’s coming for the throne. He could go Tommy Tloves. He could try to Monday qualify his way in. Right. Um you think there’s trouble with that. Tommy Two Gloves wins the Champs Tour. I’m sorry PJ. I’m I’m stomping all over your your Champions Tour. You go. You have a take. You take it. This is Tommy Two Gloves is the grim reaper of the Champions Tour. He is here and he will kill the champions tour. Mark my words. I want want you to be clear. You don’t mean he’s going to clean up. You mean this is the death nail for the tour itself. He’s going to clean up and also kill the champions tour at the same time. What do you think he made today? 88 850. No. Close. $315,000. Not close. I mean, no, but when you you spread that around, what was the purse? Probably like two and a half, $3 million. Unbelievable. [ __ ] friends. Tommy two gloves gainy. Monday qualifies. He’s just, you know, he’s doing the interview with Cookie. He said, “Now you don’t have to do that anymore. You don’t have to.” Was like, “Yep, I’m out here and they’re gonna pull the rug out from under him and just cancel the champs tour pretty soon.” Who knows? Maybe they maybe they won’t. But now now they have a a a main draw with T. The excuse though for getting rid of Q school is that they want this to be the retirement plan for guys who were dedicated PGA Tour members, right? Would would Tommy Gainy not qualify for that though? I feel like this is exactly what they’re looking for. It’s like Tommy Gainy made a lot of starts on tour and deserves to have his retirement. Uh, I don’t think this is what they’re looking for now. It’s what they got. Submit a different name with a similar, you know, profile. Presolicitation majors, I guess. Sure. Maybe the tugboat. The tugboat. Yeah, the tugboat would be what they’re looking for, right? I feel like that is what they’re looking for. I think it’s I think it’s disrespectful that the tugboat to compare two two gloves to the tugboat, though. Also, the the other day I I was talking to a uh someone involved with the European team and uh and I we were just talking about bad who is the worst Rder Cup player ever and I brought up JJ Henry and he was adamant. He was like that guy flushed it. He was like don’t ever mention that name again as the worst Rder Cup player. JJ flushed it. That’s good. Good. It’s a solicitor general. Here’s a question. Worst nights in Florida. Solicitor General related question. Yeah. If you’re uh if you’re two gloves, you’re now you’re now fully exempt on on the Champs tour. I’m going to read the rest of the schedule. What stop do you think he’s most excited for? Kerry, North Carolina. Preston, Richmond, Virginia. Little Rock, Arkansas. I feel like Arizona. It sounds like a NASCAR circuit. We’re going to Carrie to Richmond, then the Little Rock. Well, as as I learned last year trying to get a rental car, the NASCAR playoff uh championship was also in Phoenix the same weekend. So, it it basically is. He’s probably excited about Phoenix if I’m being honest. Well, he’s got to make it there. Not a lot. Oh, that’s true. I don’t know. I If I were him, I’d be worried about Tent City. What’s that? Like that’s where the the uh DUIs go. What? I just That’s not a place that I’d be hanging around at night. All right. Fair. He’s your winner. $315,000 in his pocket. Tommy Gayy. Um yeah, good good run for Tommy Gayy on the Champs Tour. He’s probably excited about uh his full-time status now. I don’t know. We’ll see how long that tour sticks around, though. Who he beat? Ready for who he beat. No. Cameron Percy. God. Steve Flesh. And fresh off the Ryder Cup, Thomas Bjorn. Tommy Bjorn. I guess VJ’s in there at T3, but then it goes Brendan Jones, Matt Goggle. a goal. Who’s Brendan Jones that like Australian? I don’t know what we’re doing with this. Let’s get off this. Let’s get I don’t know what we’re doing with that tour, but I do know what you could do to improve your game. Let’s go to repoto.com. Winter approaches. You can buy the MLM2 Pro and you can receive a free dozen Titleless Prov1 RPT golf balls. $70 value. You get them free when you add the code fried egg at repo. That’s rapsodo.com. Uh the MLM2 Pro is a launch monitor and golf simulator that tracks 15 met metrics. Uh and uh two virtual ranges and over 30,000 courses to play. It’s super portable for use indoors and outdoors. I have one. They’re very easy to move around. Light light and easy to pack up. two integrated cameras. My Golf Spy says, quote, “You could you get spin measurements within 1% of the accuracy of the game’s higher priced premium launch monitor monitors with the Repoto MLM 2 Pro and it was their pick for best value launch monitor as it competes with the big boys. No question about it.” That’s a quote. This is the one to get and you don’t have to take out a mortgage to get it and it’s backed by the game’s number one teacher, Mark Blackburn, they call me. I mean, this is where we’re citing those undisputed undisputed rankings. And look what Blackburn’s doing with Fitzy doing good work. He was out there last week. Fitzy might be the ideal Black Blackburn CL uh client. What? Just the dedication to the the numbers, the technical like I’ve heard that he’s just like extremely analytical. So much that it just like goes over a lot of people’s heads. Blackburn is. Yeah. But for Fitzy, that could be that’s just two peas in a pod right there. There you go. Um I think I’m gonna bring mine out to Chicago. You are? Yeah, why not? All right. MLM2. It’s so small you could just throw in your golf pack. You can. Again, the promo code is fried egg and you get a dozen Prov1 RPT golf balls for $70 value when you use the code fried egg. All right, moving on. I’m a little off my game here. It’s a long We’ve been battling the stomach bug at our house for like 5 days. Not a good situation over here. The Browns. Did you watch London or was it London or Ireland? London. I think it’s the first time we’ve ever done one of those London ones. I’m not used to it, but it was nice having the pain and misery done before lunch. Um, plus two in the turnover battle. Lose still lose to Carson Wentz in the year 2025. Just How was Dylan Gabriel? He seemed fine. like I don’t know, like a backup professional quarterback maybe. We’ll see. Seemed okay. He had a couple good couple good throws for sure. Um they were just really conservative. Anyways, uh tough weekend here. Not as bad as Mark Sanchez’s, but uh tough weekend. All right, we’ve done the Champs Tour. Let’s go to the Dunnh Hill. Um we have Bobby McIntyre wins. He did quote everything against the book. He was eating a lot of takeaways, fish and chips. He quote unquote pitched up at Wednesday, didn’t play any pra he’s like, I know the courses, but he didn’t play anything. He played 12 holes Wednesday. Uh ate like crap, didn’t practice, didn’t sleep, and he wins a shortened 54hole Dunhill event. Got got kind of boring, anticlimactic. He boarded like four of his first five holes um or maybe first seven, six holes and it was pretty much over. Hatton ca eventually came in second. They were playing across three courses because they had to cancel. Um the they wiped out scores and canceled the Saturday round. So it was just a 54hole event. Uh the celebs got bounced out. So there was some some raining of hands when they had to change. Like I talked to people over there like proper Scots. They’re like even for us that’s like as bad as it’s ever been. The cold and the rain. It’s like 60 mph wind, right? Yeah. Yeah. It was kind of late Friday into Saturday. One person who didn’t make it, I guess. Yaser H walked off. Hit a few balls. OB Rain of Wind just brutal. He’s like, I’m out. He walked off. Did his sweet Caroline karaoke. He was not into it. Is that the song he sang? Sweet Caroline. I don’t Was he singing or was he just up there like embracing? He was in the He was in the background. It’s He was, you know, I He wasn’t the live mic. It wasn’t a, you know, a full B- Rabbit, D- Rabbit performance, whatever we’re calling him. Yeah, I guess the players were worked up because they moved T- boxes like 40 yards up at 13 and 14. Uh, cuz players weren’t getting to the fairway into the win at St. Andrews, the old and you know, you’re supposed to they’re supposed to be the exact same course across three days and, you know, they had to change something because people couldn’t get to the fairway. Then they end up just wiping it out. Um, not before he also said peace. Um, congrats to Bobby Mack. Great pro. He’s won a Scottish Open, won a Canadian Open, won the Dunnh Hill. I’m not sure he should be playing this week. Kind of insane that they’re like have one of their best events on paper the week after the RDER Cup, you know. Um, but they did and it kind of went under the radar, especially with the weather shortening it. But Bobby back proper eight in the world. Crazy. Cal Morau might drop out of the top 10 down to nine. It’s kind of crazy. He should. I mean, he’s he started the year what, three? Four. No, four. He was behind Shaw. That sounds right. That is um that’s tough to do. Go for Hatton outside the top 10. Tier Hatton’s just like a machine at the old course. He finishes second. I think he’s won it like three times there. The Fitz has played with both their parents. Did you see that? Both Matt and Alex played with their mom and dad. So, had that nice thing going on, but a good event. Hey, what a good move by the by the parents of the parents of the Fitzpatrick’s. Skip Beth Paige. Go play Dunhill. It is a good move. It’s a nice move. Anything else on Robert McIntyre? Richard Cerny is making noise. Good to see him back on the top of the near the top of the board from When Richard Stern is making noise, it’s a peacup year. Poter rumors potter is going to status status because he played with uh played with Yaser and because the stingers put up guess the new player. Well, it ended up being wasn’t a player. I don’t know if you saw it. It was an ambassador. So, it’s like who is it? Nobody I’ve ever heard of. It might be a rugby player. It’s just like a guy. It’s just a rugby player. And they’re like, “You can’t do that, man. You can’t do a silhouette of a golfer and say like you won’t believe our next announcement of who’s joining the club that and then just say, “Oh, here’s somebody who’s just an ambassador for the program.” That’s just a total bait and switch. But it does seem like Poter rumors that he’s he’s, you know, maybe jumping ship to live. Who knows? Um, anything else from the Donhill? Man, I just am seeing this now. This is ridiculous. What’s the guy’s name? Brian Habana. I mean, this guy could be the most famous rugby player in the world. I don’t know. But he seems like just a guy. I I don’t know. His nickname is the speed machine. Okay. Which, you know, it could be Pocket’s nickname, too. Fair. That their graphic for that is just like so clearly AI generated. It’s like silhouette. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, uh, not AI generated was, uh, Steven Fisk’s win at the Sanderson Farms Championship. One of our favorite events, the chicken championship. Wouldn’t say that was uh, the ratings for that are going to be huge on Sunday. Uh, Steven Fisk beats out Garrick Higo. Um, it was kind of a back andforth battle. And then Fisk, you know, raced ahead there over the last three holes. shot a 64 on Sunday to win at 24 under. Um, I watched this like the most dramatic moment was when uh Vince Whe had to hit a ball that landed in the water with an alligator like 10 ft away. I got to be honest, I was unaware that there were alligators in Jackson, Mississippi. I just didn’t think gators got there that that that inland. Um, do you think they have bears? I’m sure they have bears. But yeah, that was like the most interesting moment of this. I watched more of this than I care to uh admit on Sunday afternoon. Uh but yes, Vince Whley hitting it with the Gator near him was a moment of uh drama. Steven Fisk doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page. I was like trying to find more about him. Disrespectful. He went to the Walker Cup. He was a 19 Walker Cup at Royal Liverpool. Georgia Southern all time in college. He won six times. Yes. All time player at Georgia Southern. Made the Walker Cup team. won the club car championship in Savannah on the KFT last year and now he’s won on the PGA Tour with the Sanderson Farms Champion. I guess he’s really slow. I was told he’s he’s very slow. So slow. Slow. Yeah. Like there was an issue there with Higo went he shushed like after u Fisk made a bomb of a putt and kind of had this outburst of like shouting and yelling because he made a big putt and then Higo rolled one in over the top of him at I don’t know that was considerably closer maybe 12 feet and he pulled the and he went shush and like the interpretation was like was he shushing Fisk you know Steve Sans was like gamesmanship here gamesmanship cuz Fisk like was celebrating his big butt Turns out after the after they interviewed him after the event that he said somebody in the crowd was popping off at him. It’s like are we really getting heckles at the for Garrick Higgo at the Sanderson Farms Championship at this point? Like what is going on here? But it was not at Fisk. So I started asking like is Fisk a known problem child? Is he bothering people? No, there he’s just really slow. He’s so slow. I remember I was like so so into him uh when he was making this run for Georgia Southern because I thought, you know, it was amazing. It’s like he might have been the best player in college golf. He was playing Georgia Southern and then I watched him get over a ball and it was like watching paint dry and I was like, you know, I’m done. Well, he’s coming to the tour. He’s gonna be on the tour or he’s staying on the tour I should say uh with his win two-year exemption winning the Sanderson Farms Championship. Rasmus comes in third like what a dichotomy there. The bagel boy uh playing in Jackson, Mississippi finishes at 19 under. Um Max who at one point was I believe T3 tumbled a little bit on uh Sunday with the 72. He’s T18. Those were probably two of your bigger names in there. Piss bear down there in Jackson, Mississippi finishes. So they do have bears down there in the name of Thorbjorn Olison 14 under. Uh so some Tommy Kim like what’s he doing these days? He finishes top 15. Uh interesting guys. Let me come in here. You know, if you wanted to get some real high quality meat in Jackson, Mississippi, while we’re talking about animals, you should look at Maui Maui Newi. Let me come in here. If you want to get some high quality meat in Jackson, you should. If you were out on the chicken, but you wanted some venison, you could go to Maui Newi. Venison.com. That’s m aui like the island and newi nui uh like the I don’t know not not the island maui newwi venison.com those those deer aren’t from uh from axis deer yeah they’re the axis deer from from Hawaii you are that’s correct that’s correct I think it says on the box it’s the the healthiest red meat in the world great protein 100% wild access deer on the island of of Maui. They’re living freely in a stress-free environment. I was I was honestly telling another dad about this that that this sponsor the other day. He’s like a kind of a high performer, like a whiz whiz guy, you know, he gets really into stuff. I was like, you should check out. He was like so into it. I was sent I sent him the website. He’s like, “God, this is so good. Love this.” So, I think I got him hooked. Uh the same neighbor that keeps stealing my best days. Yeah. Is he into it? He He’s been asking when were we going to cook the Maui Newi. He also runs like 20 miles a weekend. Uh it’s maui newwiven venison.comsgs and they’re offering a free 12-pack of venison jerky sticks with your first order of $79 or more. Awesome snack. That’s a free 12-pack. That is a real good real good deal. Free 12-pack with your first order of $79 or more. mauienewiveneness.comsgs. Uh, I have nothing else on the Sanderson. There were so many power lines all over the place. The Country Club of Jackson. I was shocked at that. Um, on the LPG. I got to pull this up. It’s time to start looking at uh who’s going to work their way in and out, you know, of the top 10. Yeah. on uh on the LPGA. Andy, your favorite story of the year continues at the Lahies Championship. The biggest story of the year, unless Don Ray does something even more literally trying to trying to throw up smoke in front of this. Human Wayne, a non-member playing on a sponsor exemption, wins the Lahies Championship. I believe she made four birdies. She was four shots back and out of it. This was a Saturday night finish over there in Lah uh Latte Hawaii. Um she birdie five of her last six holes I think the first final four all in a row was out of it and human way a sponsor’s exemption non-member wins the Lahies championship. She is the 26th different winner in 25 events on the on the LPJ this year. How’s that even possible that there’s 26 winners and 25 event because of the twoperson event at uh the DA or whatever. So that’s Yes. Um apparently this ties the record. So they had 26 win in 95 2018 and 2022, but this one is the first time it’s ever it’s it’s to start the season totally unique. 26 winners. There were some threats on the board to stop this. Put an end to this. Who? Nelly Cordis won this year, right? Nope, she hasn’t. No, she has I think has won, right? That may be right. She finished runner up. Okay. Yeah, but you Wayne came from nowhere. B birdies the last four holes. Take it and keep the streak alive. An incredible streak that we got going on. Nelly has six top fives but hasn’t won. Won seven times last year uh but hasn’t won this year. TJ would say that’s the regression monster catching up to you, right? That’s Listen, it’s uh Well, you always say what’s the easiest way to win? You got to put the easiest way to get a green square is to get a lot of yellow squares. She’s getting a lot of yellow this year, but no green. But yeah, winning seven times in the year, unless you’re Scotty, regression monster comes for everybody. I think she’s going to skip all the Asian the Asian swing events too and just like come back to whatever the CME probably. So, uh those are your results. You already finish this off with all new winners. I think the CME is the buster. Yeah, feels like that cuz I mean so few people there. What are there like 60 people in that field and they’re going to have close to 30 winners, you know? I think the CMA should not qualify for this. All right. Game within the game deal. what we got going on here. All right. God, she shot 75 on Saturday and one. Yes. Yes. Yes. That’s insane. She shot 62 on Friday and 13 shots worse on Saturday. God, what do you think the people are thinking as people keep coming in asking the LPGA golf to be put on? I mean, we’re getting messages of people talking about this all around Chicago. guy send us a message like I was at brunch with my family and my wife was trying to talk to me but I couldn’t pay attention because there was a group of guys behind me talking about how they were going to Lotty’s to watch the LPGA challenge. I mean I think it’s the thought of changing the channel from like Yankees Red Sox to that and like Chicago bar. Yeah. Apparently it’s in in Chicago Fire. I don’t watch that show. That’s it’s the bar Molly’s I think and Chicago Fire for those that are wondering about Lahies. I mean, do people still watch like scripted dramas on networks? I guess they do. Uh yeah, we we watch SVU every year. [Laughter] Uh yeah, that does it for results. Greg Norman, who does watch like network TV drama? I will say my mom loves the Chicago shows. She literally builds because they’re all on right after another and she builds her Wednesdays around watching the all three Chicago show. What is it? She probably wishes she lived there. Uh Chicago Med and Chicago PD. My god. I might need to start watching those. That is so terrible. It’s all old people. Watch the NCIS’s and all these things. Um, yes. What was what was a show that you watched growing up? Like some network show. You know what I got into and I was older at this point. So like in my teens probably or I watched 24. What an insane dopey preposterous show with like totally ridiculous. I love that show. I mean I did too. God, what was that? I watched that now. Be like this is garbage. 24. Who was the who was his like right-hand guy that then uh stabbed him in the back? Tony Almeida. Remember that? Yeah. Well, every season. Sorry if I spoiled this for anybody. Just ridiculous twist and turns. I mean, it was Yeah. Anyways, was there one you watched? We are out of We have a lot of stuff. I mean, when I was like really young, I loved the the reruns of Walker Texas Ranger. So bad. So bad. Sometimes I think about 11 on late. Yeah. Yeah. Like I think about just how preposterous that show is all the time. Oh my commies. They’re going up big on the Chargers. Love it. Debo just scored. Um all right, that does it. News. Greg Norman did an interview with Golf Digest Australia. said, “I enjoyed my time at Liv, but I’ll be honest with you, it was hard. It was very draining on me. I was working 100 hour weeks.” Do you think that’s true? No. I just don’t think that’s true. I’m sorry. Maybe Kevin Warren style 100 hour weeks. Yeah. All right. Like work work 100 hour weeks or like just, you know, waking up walking around the golf course. I don’t know. I’m dubious of that. Uh, but you know, he just kind of pats himself on the back saying they changed the game forever. PGA Tour, he made golf better for everyone at this point. Even the benefits on the PGA tour, bigger purses, smaller fields, all this stuff. So, that was his uh an exit interview, I guess, of sorts. But a 100 hour work week I was I was skeptical of. All right, I think that does it. Uh, everybody enjoy your your Mondays. Just think of if you’re down in the dumps about the start of a new week, just think about the image of of Don Rehea on the microphone singing Eminem to pick yourself up and put a smirk on your face. I did want to ask PJ about the Justin Fields experience, how it’s going. Oh god, please. It’s not going It’s not going well. Um, see here’s the thing though is that like I don’t know who could have realistically what were your expectations if you’re surprised by any of this. This is my question. Did I think they would be the worst team in football? No. I’m not at all surprised by what Justin Fields is giving us though. So like whatever it happens. Threw for almost 300 yards today. That’s never going to happen again. 280 yards, two touchdowns. No interceptions. Looks great. Line drive in the book. Take all context out of it. Who cares? What did all those yards accumulate? Were they all fourth quarter yards for the most part? Yeah. I I I mean, he knows what he’s talking about. He’s seen this movie before. I I mean, I think he’s worse than he was when he was on the Bears. Genuinely, I think I think he somehow has gotten worse. And you know, you know, Eberfloose was on the other sideline just being like, “Yeah, I knew this guy wasn’t any good.” Just like sitting there salivating as his defense is terrible, but the Jets have found a way to be more terrible. Two two weeks after Caleb just lit him up. Yeah. Um, what would you say is the most frustrating aspect of of Justin Fields? He does not he does not throw the ball away. He he lives to just run around aimlessly looking. I think he’s he’s first in in time to throw by like a a ginormous gap because he just stands there and runs around and the problem is just have one NFL player, right? Nick Garrett Wilson’s unbelievable. But if he’s not open, it’s like nobody’s what do you do? And he doesn’t throw it away. He just stands there. I think the Cowboys had like two sacks entering the game today and I they got him what, five times or something like that. Like he’s he just he can’t he can’t do it. The good news for you is that the draft’s filled with top tier quarterbacks. You got you could say like you could have Arch 26y old Fernando Mendoza like that’s that’ll solve it. Diego Pavia, get him. Did we lose Andy? Andyy’s gone. Lost Andy. That’s We’ve lost Andy. Sign to pack it up. That’s a sign. All right, everybody. Enjoy your Mondays. Just want to preview the Halloween episode. It’s It’s going to be a lot of Rya. I can already We’ve already getting these submissions of like an engine for good and all these different Don Rehea singing Eminem. Don Well, I mean, we’ve we’ve said that we’re going to do the the awards show for for a while, right? I mean, who else? They got to be named like the Donnies. Like he’s the he’s the star of 2025. That’s it. Look, he wanted the spotlight. He wanted the stage. We’re not putting him up in lights. He put himself up in lights. And now he’s got the deep state working against him, unfortunately. All right, that does it. Hopefully Andy’s not, you know, lost his recording here at the end because we can’t see him anymore. Everybody enjoy your Mondays. We will talk to you on Wednesday.
