Uh I know I mentioned it uh just a couple minutes ago, but huge show today with Kyle Morawa. We’re in person here at TBC Las Vegas with him. So, uh, we’re going to pretty much let that be the entire show. Just a couple things from me really quickly. Internet Invitational episode 5 is out now. Go check that out on YouTube. Uh, make sure you scope it out. Episode 5. Uh, and then the finale will be premiered live at 6:00 p.m. Eastern on Thursday evening of this week. Uh, it will dwindle down to a team of three people splitting a million dollars between them. So, uh, again, just a little bit of a, uh, of an update on the scheduling. Episode 5 is out. There’s only one more remaining episode to come out, and that will be premiered at 6:00 p.m. Eastern, uh, on YouTube on Thursday night. So, a live event. Everybody’s going to be live tweeting in the comments and all that. So, make sure you check out the internet invitational. Um, without further ado, here is our great friend Kwan Morawa. [Music] All right, folks. We are joined by a very special guest, a great friend of the program, somebody we’ve had a fun, you know, rivalry with for years, and we just finished playing a uh threeperson scramble against that folks will see that video next week. He’s a two-time major winner. He won the PGA Championship at Harding Park. He won the Open Championship at Royal St. George’s. sixtime PGA Tour winner, I believe, threetime United States Rider Cuper, Kyle Morawa. Thank you so much, boys. What a day. What a day is right. Incredible day. You know, we’re here in Las Vegas, Nevada. We’re at TPC Las Vegas. Thank you for hosting us, by the way, TBC Las Vegas. But, uh, yeah, we just finished. What’s your, you know, without giving away the results at all, what’s sort of your, uh, takeaway from the games of the of the gentlemen and how today went? I think all of you guys have gotten much better at golf. I agree with that. You sure about that? You sure about that? Because well, I know where your ceiling is. Or at least I know where you can go. Yeah. So, like you’ve proven it. You’ve proven that you’ve been able to hit shots. Yeah. But from these two, like golf games have gotten a lot better. Yeah. I think Trent of everybody that plays golf on the internet is like Trent has been the highest improved by far of anyone. Yeah. It’s been a long journey for sure. I mean, you go back and you watch I shot 144 at Beth Paige Black like eight years ago and yeah, it’s it’s coming together. I mean, again, I don’t want to give too much away, but there’s been a lot of talk about Rig’s Driver on the internet everywhere and you you hit it great today. I appreciate that. Yeah, I uh I took a couple lessons after the internet invitational and uh and my guy Bobby out uh in Arizona at Whisper Rock has been me and Colin were actually I’m sure he loved it, but I was showing him what I was working on in the locker room while he was changing a couple minutes. Nice. Yeah, we pretty much got undressed and then we started doing hand mot. You said you’ve been pretty invested in the uh internet invitational. I yeah I like I don’t watch YouTube golf much like obviously I’ve gotten to know a lot of guys like Grant and you know I’ve known Brad Dulky for forever. Yeah. Um but I like never tune it in tune into it and this like this whole thing is just I I think it’s an easy watch. You know you kind of put it on your phone, do some chores or whatever. But like some of these characters like I love Chaz. Yeah. The Duke is ridiculous. Uh the guy with the one arm uh Andrew. Andrew like incredible swings. He always tricks me because his name is like Jimmy the kidimmy the kid. So that always messes with me that it’s Andrew. He was my partner against Frankie and Frank and Franc. Like I I love it like seeing I think just all different abilities play golf on a seemed like a pretty tough golf course. So I’m I’m tuning in. Did you which we really appreciate that it’s all shout out to these guys behind the cameras too. Brendan and Jared and Kyle all editing it. It’s insane. like I don’t even know him and they’re like looking for just one of the funniest moments. A very bar stool moment to be able to take over something of that magnitude by just making a mistake like that is incredible. It’s so you can’t replicate that. It’s so barry. That is why we really wanted to do the internet invitational, especially with Dave. Like that barcel world is so hard to explain. Like there’s content creators all around. We have a million different golf podcasts out there and golf videos, but something about Barcel’s always just been different. Not necessarily foreplay, but the brand like when we were in the office, like things would always just happen like some character was always getting in trouble. And like YouTube golf doesn’t typically show that. Everything’s kind of cleancut drive, wedge, putt, funny commentary on top of it. Um but the bar stool world, like Dave just gives people the yips and not in the golf game, but you the yips. Yeah. me that you have some my mental but like fac like it’s just you can’t like answer a question correctly and you like you don’t know what the hell just happened you just find yourself in these outrageous situations I mean there’s there’s a list of a hundred of situations similar to Fulli that have happened in Barcel Barcel history it’s so funny to see the general public that didn’t really know that see that play out in the Invitational like the way it going the gam I mean from Dave to pull it out and just say you know how much is this guy gonna go for I know and Bobby you Bubby said to me straight up like I will never screw over my team for anything personal. Yeah, that’s like way to way to be a captain. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that I got a lot of [ __ ] about my captaincy in the first half of that [ __ ] all over me. We came all the way back. That second session on day two was something really special that happened with our team. I told Trent I got uh you know there’s a lot of messages whatever you get that are good for a while and then they flipped once we once we blew that and I got one guy DM’d me one guy you got you got a lot of hate for how you chose your team surprising one guy DM’ me and it was perfect he just goes hey rigs uh you just got outclassed in the fans is what he said to me and that’s all he said and I was like that’s perfect that’s exactly what happened it was hard it was hard because a lot of people like gave input on like who they felt comfortable playing with which I’m sure goes into like I mean on the biggest scale with the RDER Cup where guys certainly feel more comfortable with other guys and like you you look at it and you’re like well we just got our like dog walked and like you have to kind of make a change. I know like you don’t feel comfortable with that player but I really think that we get a win here win there. So um it it is fun to kind of like take control of that. It happens fast. It happens so fast. It’s one thing like looking back after that, you know, cuz I was killing my it was like we were winning, winning winning and all a sudden we were just out of the event and I was sitting there all night for the next like week just being like how did you put those out there? And but then in real time it was all everyone was vibing. It was like Kyle Birkshshire and Gabby Golf Girl like they’re going to take down anybody. They went up against Brad Dy and like and you’re like of course these guys are unbeatable. And then you look at it afterwards and you’re like I’m an idiot. But in real time you’re like I’m a genius. So it’s just happens. Hi has to be the best golfer that’s not a professional in the world right now. Right. For sure. And I I think he’s gotten a lot better. I mean, he was a he was a world beater when he was 12, 13, even all the way into high like through high school. I mean, he was kind of like the guy cuz he was beating everyone that was 17 when he was 12. And that’s crazy. But he was also legitimately like the same size, right, of a human being. So, uh, you know, college obviously I think he won a national championship one of the years he was there. Was it Oklahoma? With Oklahoma. Um, but you know, didn’t didn’t quite do it and exactly what he wanted and that’s part of golf and that’s part of life. So, I’m happy to see him. I mean, it seems like he’s crushing it right now. He’s having a good time and um, you know, you find kind of who you are and have a lot of fun on camera. I feel like you’ve done a pretty good job with like Grant with different stuff of leaning into it because everybody’s kind of got their different relationship. Like Rory has clearly been like, I’m not into the YouTube golf thing. I think Tiger even had comments a year or two ago being like, “As long as you’re not watching YouTube or something like that.” And then you have other guys like Minw’s obviously been really into the social, but I feel like like what do you what do you do you are you thinking about how to kind of embrace like the YouTube and social golf scene or is it just sort of whatever happens happens? I kind of float on both sides like like I said like I don’t watch that much so it’s not like I’m buying into it either. Like it’s to me they’re very different styles of golf. Yeah. Yeah. right? Being able to play in a four round tournament versus playing on YouTube with, you know, the guys who you want and filming channels. And I, like you said, like there’s a there’s an art to that. And when I’ve been around Grant, like he tells me the art of actually putting the videos together, making sure you have the right people around, like, and that’s why you guys all work great together. So, I think when I have opportunities to play with you guys and everything, I think it it shows who I am a little bit more. And like you don’t really get to see that cuz when we’re out there whether it’s a REDRE cup or it’s a normal event like it’s a very different mindset. Not for the better, for the worse, just how we act in things, right? Like I can’t smack talk you guys like I did in a normal tournament ever. Like to me that that would just show that I’m I’m weak in my head and I wouldn’t be able to do that because I’m playing against everyone else. Yeah. But when it’s a one v one like this, I mean, of course, I’m going to throw some digs. And like that’s I don’t think people see like that’s the nature of us and like that’s the competitive side. So, for me, like I enjoyed it. It’s it’s enough where I can go out and do it a little bit and but I you know, I’m not anywhere close to making my own YouTube. I know Tommy just made one, but I I just I don’t think I’m there yet. I think it’s I think the introduction and and existence of YouTube has allowed the PGA tour and professional golf to just be what it is then because like now you have an outlet to do that here. Like you don’t need to really change what you guys do out there. It should still be like the clean competitive we just want to go out there and watch the best golfers in the world be the best golfers in the world. Um like I even think sometimes it’s crazy like I mean now in professional sports we just watched the world we were talking about the World Series. They’re like interviewing Dave Roberts as like the 10th innings going on. And it’s like at some point like I just want to watch like the competition and like we do we we tow the line of like wanting the most uh the most like exposure and access we can possibly get but then sometimes it toes a line on being like a little bit gimmicky. So I do like the fact that like the only time we get to see Karawa is in these certain situations and other times it’s just like you are the [ __ ] guy to just like watch hit a ball into the hole. Have you done any mid round interviews? I know they were doing a couple of those. I did one really early. I mean, I was like the first I know Max did the first one ever. I did mine at Riv. So, like I explained to them that I wanted an easy hole. Like I I didn’t want to think about Yeah. You know, there’s easier holes than others. Yeah. So, it’s supposed to be 11 at Riv, which is like a straight par five, just kind of hoham. And then they switched it to 10. No. I was like freaking out because I mean you 10, you’re just aiming for the left trees hoping you find a shot. Chip it up. I mean, I hit a great shot. hit it just like pin high or front edge pin high. Pin was on the front, lagged it up midar and like got out. But did they have an earpiece? Did they have Yeah, you had an earpiece in like picked maybe the most like that was like controversial interesting whole So that was when they that was when they like gave an earpiece. Now they’ll do like a walk and talk off of off a T- box in the middle of the round on 14. Okay. Um so those are pretty easy, but that’s the same thing as the like middle of the inning interview. You know, you’re not I don’t think you’re getting I know people like it. I don’t know if you’re getting as much out of it as you want because there’s only certain questions you’re gonna ask and depending on my mood. You’re also just trying to get off as like a like an [ __ ] You’re just trying to get through that interview. You’re not being yourself. You’re just trying to get through. Right. And that’s the thing like I think you see you see people for who they are a lot more when they’re out here like doing this type of stuff. Yep. when you get these guys and when you’re on the course, we’re not trying to be anyone else. Like, we’re really not. But all we care about is winning, hitting great shots, making birdies. Yeah. Like, I truly don’t care about what’s going on around me. I also don’t know any golf fans who are clamoring for mid-round interviews. Like, it just seems like something they want to add to the broadcast when I I’m with Frankie. I just at that level when you guys are out there, I just want to see golf at an incredibly high competitive level. I I I actually I think post round interviews are more effective because you are going to get a fuller picture as opposed to throwing an earpiece in your ear. You’re trying to figure out this golf hole and then you’re just really trying to get through it. I I again I go back to I don’t know if so many fans out there are like, “Man, I want to know what all these guys are thinking during a round. I really just don’t think that’s out there.” I don’t do post round interviews either, so that’s not That’s right. Well, you don’t know anybody. When you said that, I knew that there was something in the back of my brain about that and I didn’t know if we were going to bring that. Yeah, it was Bay Hill. I mean, I’ll I’ll live by it. Did you Did you ever find out afterwards that they weren’t even uh on when he when Russ Enley chipped in? They weren’t even I did I did hear about that, which wild, which I don’t want to sit here and be the guys that [ __ ] on the coverage, but it was very cuz like that’s one of the cooler tournaments, you know, out of whatever top 10 PJ tour event of the year. I mean, it was a chip going away down in the water. Like it’s it’s a and it’s a cool view, too. It’s not like it’s a bad view, dude. They pan back from commercial and the ball was rolling already and then it just goes in every That’s the one thing that’s the one thing I think for to golf for golf to be more exciting you just have to see more shots. Yeah. Yeah. True. And there’s plenty of shots good or bad. Yes. Good or bad. Like it doesn’t a We see a lot of good shots and you kind of know like now if you watch enough golf whether it’s going to be a good shot or not. Yes. Kind of look at where they are on the leaderboard. You’re saying okay. But are good shots that like is it is that all we want to see is good shots cuz like the exciting is the story building. Yeah. So that’s how there Yeah. Right. Like I just like like watching an event and it being exciting isn’t necessarily like watching a bunch of balls just going right next to the hole. It’s more about like the journey of like maybe one or two guys. I think that’s where they struggle on like building out a broadcast where it’s like what are we actually trying to accomplish with this? There’s a leader. There’s a guy that’s like coming up to try and get him. And that’s really all that’s like quote unquote exciting. You know what I mean? I think it’s a struggle. I don’t know. It’s hard. I know. But it’s hard to find. You don’t know who’s going to who’s going to have that story for who’s going to catch the lightning in the bottle that day. It’s really hard. I mean, these guys got a little piece of it. Like the editors like Brendan like had to go find the stories in Invitational. And it is hard. There’s so much good golf out there that he just like skipped over. And now it’s totally different content. Don’t get me wrong, you guys have cameras on every group. We do. Yes. Like Yes. The tour doesn’t. Yeah. They don’t. And they’re able to chop it up. And they chop it. It’s just the more of just like it’s it I I know that it’s easy to just be like they need to change to this, but it is hard to like get like capture the audience and sit down your couch and be like why am I watching this today? Is it necessarily to see like the best shots in the world or is it to see like this guy’s winning this for this reason so they’re going to stick on him for like an hour and a half and it’s going to really like mean a lot to me when he wins as a viewer? You know what I mean? It’s got to be hard. Yeah. It’s almost like even if cuz I was just trying to think of like football as a comparison and there is like Red Zone. Red Zone’s incredible. Red zone also doesn’t just show every play. the red zero because they just had a 41 yard completion and they’re not technically in the red zone but they’re on the 31 and like you know and then I actually think red zone is the opposite argument where like sometimes like I know Fidleberg and even you would say sometimes where like red zone’s almost too much where things are just popping around you’re like like nauseous and then you just want to just watch sometimes you just want to watch a football game. Yeah. where you’re like like I think people wonk off to get to the point where it’s almost red zone. It’s like great shot, great shot, great drive, great trip, great putt and you’re like like where’s the guy like just taking his time reading a putt, you know? Well, we’re almost going to want to go back to that if that if it’s split. And I think when there’s too much happening in red zone is when that is the issue. And I think a lot of times like he does try to build that tell you like what happened, why we’re here, show it. But you’re right, when it’s like too fast-paced. And I do think that that’s some of the argument with golf. But I also like one thing that annoys me is they just show so many putts. And I just think so many putts are boring. Yeah. It’s like, dude, show me the T-shot. Show him like you had a T-shot today on maybe like 13 or 14 where you kind of like like really exaggerated a cut off one back toback holes. I know they did that. That was sick. And I just was like this is really cool. And showing that in real time of a guy like truly like artistically finagling his way through a couple holes that required a cut and then hitting like an iron in there is like you said, show how you got there. That is a big part that I think they struggle with. Like you don’t want to just show golf shot, golf shot, golf shot. You want to show I think you should show more than just the putt, you know. Yeah. So, it’s tricky. I mean, it’s definitely tricky to do all that. So, you don’t like doing post round interviews? No, I do. I’m just kidding. That’s what we got to like coverage is going to end right now, guys. Yeah. I think too like everybody kind of wants a lot out of that stuff and it’s it’s not like it’s you know we kind of talked about this like I think that was the week before the players and so it’s like let’s say Sunday night you were didn’t do it. I know you signed autographs and all that and they didn’t they didn’t really talk about that but then it’s like Tuesday you’re answering questions so it’s not like you’re never going to answer questions. It’s like two days later talking about you know I’ve talked about it with a bunch of guys and there’s just you know there’s no filter period for us to come off and like have a little breather and you know some some people want to see us right after. It’s like we have a chance to leave and go sign a scorecard that’s time you know basketball players are like right on the court sometimes but then they go in it’s I don’t think there’s a perfect world for us. Um, but you know, I like you like like you said, I was there two days later answering questions and like I’m always going to answer questions. It’s just sometimes I need a little bit of time and we’ve like not answering and like you know the time that Rory stormed off and his his uh the tires were screeching right that when he was leaving like that to a viewer shows how much he cared. that’s just as meaningful or impactful as an interview. Like to me as a viewer, I’m like, “Oh god, like that’s crushing him right now.” There’s winners and losers in sports and you want to know how they’re feeling about it. And I I I think like it being like Colin, you know, he left and he didn’t want to talk. It’s like, oh, he’s [ __ ] devastated. The things I would say the things I would say, I know I know I’d be fined, right? Like in the heat of a moment. We we would all be a lot of us. Like that’s just kind of the unfiltered nature of it. And I know some people want to hear that. I also don’t want to pay a fine. Fair. You know, some guys are like a lot of NBA guys like they know they’re going to get fined. Like it’s just it’s fine. Like they’re they’re going to pay it. It’s just they take that leap. Hockey coaches all the time. They’ll just blame the refs and you’re like, “Whoa, you knew you know that he’s getting some.” But that’s part of the nature of of like going at an ump or whatever. Y that’s just not for us. Like that’s not what golf has been. Doesn’t mean it won’t doesn’t mean you won’t get guys that will just go out and say stuff, but like I don’t I don’t need I don’t need that extra. What would you have said? You can do it on the podcast. Yeah. Yeah. I I just would have started off with like I’m [ __ ] pissed. Like what else do you want? Like what else do you want? I know. Like what what question are you going to ask me after I said I just [ __ ] blew that? Thank you. But then one of those guys I [ __ ] I hit some shady shots. And then one of those guys would have been like, “No, but like how did you feel as you were blowing?” It sucked. It sucked. Well, you know, yeah, I want to go I want to go in my car and drive away. Like that’s what I did. I’m picturing myself in my car right now driving away while I’m sitting here. But look, that’s I know we live in a public nature. Like that’s that’s our lives. That’s your guys’ lives. Um, and it sucks cuz like you know it’s for the kids that do watch and when you do see kids like that’s what makes me smile when I see a kid that’s just so into watching you because like when I grew up I didn’t watch that much golf. I didn’t really go to many tournaments but now with a lot of kids being able to come like tournaments being open to that it just makes it fun for us. That’s that’s what makes you like say okay like let’s just go out and and play some great golf and kind of show off. Yeah, that part of it is really cool because like to to us like me and Trent were talking to the cart a lot today. We were like it’s it’s really cool when we’re out here because it like truly feels like we’re like friends with Colin today and he’s like up there gambling. You guys are you guys are like and it’s you know I do have to remove myself at these tournaments where for a lot of people again for us to feel that way is cool. And you’re you were so good in that setting. It’s kind of why I started with the conversation about YouTube golf and all that of like leaning in like Frankie’s dad Mr. Mr. Barell, he was buzzing around. You’re putting your arm around about craps. I got free dessert. He got a free dessert. I have to buy two entre What is up with this? He g I thought it was going to be like his phone number like, “Hey, like you’re welcome anytime.” But no, it’s No, it’s a free dessert platter if you order two or more entre for the table. He had me make I had to make those up. I had to print them out at Staples. Oh, nice. Thank you. It’s in my golf bag. There you go. Next time you’re in New York, if you ever get out to lunch, get a [ __ ] next year. Dude, that’s right. Come make a pllis. Um, but it is when you go to these tournaments and you do your profession, you are a role model to thousands, if not like millions of kids and fans of the game. So, the way that you do, you know, carry yourself when you’re out there, I I like I have to remind myself that what we do is always kind of considered like jokey and gimmicky and we’re laughing and we’re playing golf. what you do is like you’re representing all these brands and you’re representing the tour and you’re you are a role model to kids like that’s that’s a lot. Yeah. And I think like going back to the difference of like professional golf when you’re playing a tournament versus day like today is I am so tunnel vision when I’m out there. Like I do see a lot and I do see what’s going on. But I am just like I can’t just sit there screw around talk to you guys. Like it is it is so tunnel vision. But that’s why the other half of our golf and we’re practicing out here with other guys on tour playing with you guys. Like we’re like everyone else and we just kind of screw around. You make some bets and go to sleep and wake up again and play golf. Tough life, right? [Music] Classic rookie mistake, not going to Sport Clips haircuts. Guys come in looking like they’ve just been sacked by a 250lb linebacker, but they walk out looking like a first round pick. Sport Clips stylists have the playbook for a clean cut. They’ve mastered the X’s and O’s of men’s hair. And with the MV uh MVP haircut experience, you get a hot steam towel. Trust me, I know this. I do this. I do this every couple weeks. You get a massaging shampoo and that precision cut. It’s the whole nine yards. It’s also great. You know, they’ve got games on. There’s there’s football on right now. Hockey, basketball, all back. Went to my first NBA game last week. Winner by the way. Let’s go Suns. But the point is you can watch all that. Enjoy the MVP haircut experience. And the app. We love the app and support clips because you can just sign up. It says it’s going to be 22 minutes until you’re probably going to be able to get a haircut. Tell your stylist to be ready. Great. And then it says the countdown in the queue so you know when you can roll in. Um, when you step into Sport Clips, you’re walking into a zone for guys. The games are on. The stylist just get it. This is a place designed for guys to win and walk out with a haircut ready for the highlight reel. Sport clips. Make sure you go check them out. It’s a game changer. We are here. Of course, you’re watching it on this show, listening to this show with K Morawa, who Korawa, who is a fellow Adidas golf athlete. Our new partnership with Adidas gives us access to their full range of golf apparel and footwear, including their originals golf range. I’ve worn a couple of these outfits, and boy, it gets the people going. You’re making a little bit of a fashion statement. Walk in, you get a bunch of folks going, “Wow, look at those pants. Look at that outfit. I love it.” And I like to be a little bit different sometimes. It’s nice. And the whole point kind of what I just said a minute ago, the full range of golf apparel and footwear is that Adidas Golf has a bunch of it. They’ve got the Addi Zeros in terms of the shoes. They got the Tour 360s. And then in terms of their styles, you could look a little bit more kind of clean and standard and performance. You can go with the originals line and the final chapter of the 2025 originals golf range. by the way, introduces elevated styling uh for the course, inspired by high fashion while also introducing bold colors that complement the classic heritage aesthetic that is uniquely Adidas. We love Adidas. It’s been great. And again, you’re looking at Karai. We talk quite a bit on this show about Adidas, how it came to be, how long he’s been with them, how much he likes rocking, you know, Adidas stuff day in and day out, every day of his life. And we feel that way as well. Well, Adidas is the official golf apparel and footwear partner of Foreplay, and that includes their new originals golf range. It is inspired by classic Adidas heritage. It’s elevated with bold premium style. It’s made to perform and built to stand out on and off the course. Check uh out their newest drop. Shop Adidas’s latest golf gear at www.adidas.com/forplaypod.

[Music] He brought up brands and and and kind of, you know, making all these different decisions for people watching you and and and being that type of guy that people want to gravitate towards. You have Adidas on your chest. We we have Adidas on our chest now. I mean, it’s an amazing amazing brand to be associated with. What went into you working with Adidas? Because obviously it’s such a big brand for us. It was like we were tearing up calling each other like we we signed this deal like such a welcome to the three. You guys look good. You guys look really good. Thank you. I’ve been really lucky obviously with the whole world of NIL. Kids are, you know, asking for all this stuff. Adidas has helped me out for years now. Like but when I was a junior, they they’d give me some clothes, they give me some shoes, and um it was just a nice progression and I knew exactly what I was going to have on my body. And what’s been great about the partnership kind of back and forth is we’ve been able to just collaborate on ideas on how to keep making things better. Yeah. And Adidas has made been such a like they’ve made such leaps and have made such great products that everything like the five pocket pant you guys you two are wearing I believe. I mean you could wear that out to dinner. Yep. And like no one would even blink an eye. You’re really into that stuff. I’ve seen pictures of you looking at Yeah, I know. I know. Yeah. Yeah. Like I I’ll go into it because look, we and you guys will join it. We wear it more than anyone else. Yeah. Like anyone else. Like I’m wearing this stuff every single day. So to give them, you know, feedback and then for them to make the changes and to really see that difference in, you know, I’ve been with them for over six years now. Yeah. Is really cool. So, you know, the pullovers, the hoodies you guys are wearing, like that’s just all been a work of like just them kind of pushing the envelope of like, hey, how do we make stuff that looks great that’s kind of going back and forth between the golf course and being able to go out Yeah., you know, off the golf course. I think they do a really good job at that. I’ve been saying, I hope it doesn’t come off as like the wrong way, but I’ve been surprised at how good their golf gear is. And like I just wasn’t exposed to it. Like we were with other brands and like I just wasn’t wearing Adidas as often when I was in high school. It was, but it’s changed so much from then to now where it’s like I I mean I’ll text these guys. I’m like, “Have you guys gotten like some of the like I mean this right here is just like what I’ve always worn for like, you know, last 10 years.” Like I get it. People love their stuff and when you kind of find your one brand, you kind of stick with it. But I think what I love about a lot of the stuff you guys are wearing is like you wouldn’t really know you’re coming straight off of golf. No, it’s the best. You know, you you take off your hat, you go to the airport, whatever it is. I mean, it’s very versatile and that’s kind of that that line that I love to kind of float on. And I brought up like the brands and just like the globaless before because it is it puts you on a pedestal also. It’s such a big like we feel the weight of the brand like like it’s it’s different than anything you’ve ever experienced. I’ve yet to like hop over the Aidas though. Like I haven’t I know. I can’t really say that but kind of feel a little bit like Yeah. You know, maybe one day too much. We’re American. Too much for me. We’re American. It is crazy. It’s like Leo Messi is, you know, like Patrick Mahomes. These guys are like, but like Colin’s like like we’re not jokes, but like when you go on that website, it’s like it’s Colin Morawa. It’s Leo Mess. It’s crazy. They they they elevate you to a level that like not not to say you don’t deserve it, but like you are on this like grand global because of just what you’re wearing. It’s awesome. It really That’s what’s cool. Like you go back to the 13-year-old kid when you get a box. I still get happy when I get boxes of clothes. It’s a little bit too much cardboard. It’s a lot of cardboard when you own a when you have like a property that that I’m cutting up cardboard. It’s Yeah, I know. Trust me. Every single day. I I know. I I know. It’s not just It’s not Adidas. It’s Amazon. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Every I have a kid now. Amazon, man. Formula or toys. It’s just so much cardboard. Don’t cut yourself. I mean, Brendon, you got to be I got a I have a cardboard cutter. You wouldn’t believe. It’s like a samurai sword. It’s unbelievable. One of those like you got to break these things down for the garbage men. You got to break them down. Like the little sharp knives. I’ve had a couple issues with those. Kind of push open. No, this thing I I charge it and everything. This looks like a pizza cutter and it just it it’s a lightsaber. And it cuts all of them into war. I need to buy this. I need to buy this thing. No joke. 40 boxes of cardboard in my garage at all times that I have to break down. It’s psychotic. It’s awful. And some cardboard is better or worse than others. Like you get some of that performative cardboard that maybe the ones that you guys just sent me with the uh and you flip it open and it’s like this is for the winter. This is for the that cardboard was I I had to put it into a freaking choke hold to get that the corners getting his ass. You got to like you got to step on it. You got to like kind of bend the crease on it. You got it. Fell slipped right off. There’s your problem. Unbelievable. You can’t be doing that in socks. No. I’m in the garage. I’m playing music. You’re in a garage in socks. Yeah. Oh, you’re sliding all over the place. No, we didn’t. We did. We did that. Um, what’s that called? What did I do on the floor? What did I do on the floor? Little grip. There’s some grip on the floor. What’s that called? The polyurethane on the floor. It’s nice. Got a little grip. I don’t know what that is. Is that like Is that like the workout mat? Like kind of like a little It’s like It’s like a I don’t know, man. Huh? Whatever. Must have a nice epoxy. That’s the word. You must has a nice house. No, it’s a floor in a garage. Come on. Uh, too much cardboard. I got a question for you. So, when you won the Open Championship, which was incredible, my probably the most impressive part of that whole thing was afterwards when you’re holding the uh Claire Chug, the speech that you gave and your speech was like a man who had been like practicing and preparing for that speech for months if not years. Had you like was that off the cuff? Yeah. Like I I honestly don’t remember what I said. It was yet to You’re not the first to come up to me and tell me that. Dude, you were you were just profound. Did a whole show on it after it happened. Yeah. And you just like mentioned everyone you were supposed to mention, but with like class, little humor in there. They gave us like a little card or they told us right before like we had to I think we had to mention maybe like one or two people. Okay. Um of your choices. No, like I I think when when everything comes together in those moments for me, you just you think back at like what truly matters in life. And that’s the hard thing about what we do is like when I play golf, it is just it is all golf. Yeah. You know, and it’s so hard to get yourself away from that. whatever you do, it’s just but when everything comes together, you work hard and you know, you end up winning a tournament and it’s just for me when those things happen, it’s like it’s it’s not about me, it’s about everyone else around me because they give up so much for me to be able to do what I want to do that you have to and like that’s it’s just it sucks that sometimes it takes that long to to realize that and to to come to those points, but um thankfully you’re pretty young, you know. Yeah. Thankfully, I’ve had like, you know, a handful of times to do it. And um yeah, no, those those moments come from the heart. Like there there’s nothing that’s been scripted. There’s I don’t think about like winning and saying, “Oh, I’m going to go do the speech.” Like it just the time after making the putt of winning a tournament. You just realize like it’s not just about this. It’s just about it’s about the team that you kind of built around. I remember just like your Adidas gear fit like tighter in that moment. That was my favorite. That was my favorite outfit I think I’ve ever worn. the pebble like a pebbly shirt blue with a little purple. Yeah. Yeah, I remember that. So then, so Royal St. George, I looked it up, is it was founded in 1887. Got sure ton of history. You knew that. You go to these places and I guess what I’m what I’m trying to get to is like do they do you know have they like enshrined you in some ways at like Royal St. George? Because when you go to these places the history is huge. They have like the presidents of the club. They have like those that have won big tournaments there. Is there like a giant like painting of you there? I have no I have no idea. I’d be so curious like what they did with you. The uh the golf course and hotel right next door, Princes. I think I’m I might be more famous there. So, I had like I had issues with my hotel early in the week. So, I moved over. It was kind of like on the par five. I want to say it was like 13 or whatever. 14 on the corner out there. And it was still right around COVID. So you couldn’t really do much, but there was a lot of golfers there and I ate a I ate a burger every single day. So they named the burger after me. No way. Yeah. Like I every day starting like Monday night. It’s a regular cheeseburger. It was just a regular cheese like kind of cheeseburger. And tomatoes and lettuce on there. Europe does not do burgers well at all. They don’t. And I’m not saying this burger was like anything special, but now it is. Now it is. But I just had to do it. Like I got to I got to Saturday night and I looked at JJ who’s catting for me and I was like, “Man, I’m kind of sick of this, but I kind of have to.” Like, “Yeah, yeah, you do have to.” So, I ate a burger. Anything on the side? Fries or Yeah. I think I just had fries every day. And I mean, that’s So, I think back to your question, I haven’t been back, but um yeah, Princes, I think that’s amazing. You got a burger of all that. You got a burger named after you. Um, do you feel vindicated about the the lid of the water maker situation now that it’s happened to several people since then? Yeah, I not really. I I think it still falls back on me though. Think so. Yeah. Like you’re the first person that comes to mind, unfortunately. Like Scotty dropped it this year and I don’t I mean why don’t they just they didn’t really like they didn’t really do much like I I think it it it will no matter who drops it from now on like it’ll come back to me. He did the Morawa. It’s the still photo of you being like, “Whoa, that that’s the photo that everybody comes back to.” I mean, they should You got to drink out of it. You don’t want to steal it. It’s huge. The thing’s huge. Put like put a hinge on the back or something. Like, it’s got to stop breaking on these. It’s not breaking it. I know, but it’s ridiculous. You guys are holding this thing up. It’s the back. Like, I believe this thing is like 40 lb. Is it really? 40 lb. It is heavy. I don’t think they need to fix it. You don’t think so? No. I I think they should leave it. It is heavy. There it is. I would be able to lift that. Huge, too, right? It’s massive. Do you have like a replica one? Yeah. Yeah. Where’s that bad boy sit in in my safe? Like I have zero trophies sitting out. Like if you came to my house, you other than the room with a lot of golf clubs, you wouldn’t really know. People wouldn’t know that colo. They think you’re like a car salesman. Not really. Like I just No golf art on the walls or anything. No, I need to get into art. When we bought our house, it came with art, so we just kind of left it. Um, do you have an office that you can maybe display some? The office has a lot of just random stuff there, but Okay. I don’t even have a desk in my office. Anyone? Yeah. Has anyone listen that like knows how to make a really good desk? That Oh, but like I need I need a desk. You going to sit back there? Sit there. Yeah. Right. You do the foreplay pod like once a year remotely? Probably. Rather than doing it in my like dining room. Yeah. Do you do desk work? Like never. Desk. I don’t even know what I don’t even know what desk work is. I don’t know. Like you got things on a on a on a table and you’re looking through yardages on the couch. Do you have an email address? I do. Okay. Yeah. I’m not going to tell it. No, I’m just I mean is it like [email protected]? Because there’s people out there that just there’s professional athletes that their name. Are you laugh? Is that what it is? I mean like I’ve had my email forever. Okay. Like I haven’t really ch I’m not worried about people sending me emails. No, no, no. It’s just funny cuz we always laugh. You guys have that you guys have that many viewers where I’m like junk my my folders get spammed. It’s not that we have that many viewers. Just people are pretty crazy. They are. We’ve had cut it. But we’ve had uh we’ve had people on this show where like oh like what’s your email? We’re going to send you the link and it’s just like their name. It’s just like where it’s the first and last name.com. It’s just so funny. Like 10 PJ. What’s wrong with that? I guess there’s nothing wrong with it. So when you create an email when you were like 14, what did you what did you create your email? The thing is when you become like in our eyes when you become famous like on your guy’s side like you want everything to kind of be like I’ve actually never gotten anyone that’s gone out and tried to guess my email. But you definitely can with all the name stuff. Like you could figure it out if you just start typing stuff in. Sure. But like emails I’ve I’ve never had my email just been like spammed. It’s either I don’t you know it I’m not worried like I don’t think people are going to email me. You might get like a bunch of nice don’t want people trying to get into your email. You’re getting things sent to you. You’re getting like bank statements and [ __ ] We’ll cut this. Yeah. Like I look at like my phone my phone has like zero notifications. I open everything. I like delete it. Like so. All right. I’m not going to get I don’t think I’m going to get any. We’ll see. You might get an email from me. I probably will. You’re You know how the internet works? Like you’re now I do know how the internet works. People try and find this. It’s not that hard. It’s pretty It’s pretty simple. You get some funny things sent to you. So, yeah. Oh, yeah. I know it. I got it. No, you know it. You know it for sure. We had a nice talk about it. You did. People are going to be emailing you a lot of Ryder Cup takes. That’s fine. I mean, what is your relationship like with the Ryder Cup now? I mean, being one and two, I it it sucks because you have to live with it for two years and uh it’s the best event you can be a part of. Like I I don’t think people understand like nothing is taken lightly. Not not one bit of what we do that week and the buildup to it is a joke. Like I know especially after losing the last two like they mean so much and you just want to play for so much. I mean I’ve played in a rider rider cups, president’s cups and Olympics. Like it is they are all up there. Um cuz you you just I love our I love our country. I love representing the you know the red, white, and blue. And um you do everything you can to just help out, right? Whether you have a bad day or a good day, like you just want to help. Um and it sucks because I for how competitive all of us are, it it burns. So you got to live with it. Um, you know, it’s weird cuz like it it matters so much then and then you realize like now that you look back a month later, it’s like, okay, you know, it’s not the end of the world. It does suck. And I know Keegan’s going through it and I I feel for him because like we will ride or die next to that guy. That guy put everything into it. Um, so it sucks, but got to move on and uh hope for two more years. I do still like that. You know, I feel like all of you guys say like even it would be easy to have this negative reaction to it. You’re all almost like you guys eyes still light up being like, “Oh, that event’s awesome.” Like I know we didn’t win, haven’t won the last couple, but you’re also part of like a historic victory winning by 10 or nine or whatever. Yeah. What sucks is that like I don’t really get to relive a lot of the what happened in 21 just because of the last two. Like we’ve kind of been throttled. So you your mind works and your mind works and be like man like what could we have done better. I mean I I remember I was waiting on 15T on Sunday and you’re just like this shit’s going to happen. Yeah. Like things are falling our way and chaos was erupting. It was so um and then when it didn’t, you know, it’s just like you just popped a balloon. Yeah. Just all the air came out. Um, but like I said, like we everyone behind the scenes, everyone, the captains, they’re the best guys. Like it comes down to us hitting shots, making putts. Um, and that’s that’s all no matter how you put it together, like we just didn’t do that. I I didn’t do it. We all didn’t do it. We just didn’t have it. You don’t buy into that’s not like doomsday on Team USA. It’s No, I mean, it’s hard because like you’re always playing new courses. You’re having new teams. you know, it doesn’t matter if a lot of us have have played them before. It’s it’s a whole dynamic and when you add a new captain, like you don’t know how it’s going to go, but we had everything we needed to in front of us to be able to succeed. Like I said, we just we just didn’t do it. But it, you know, it it it really hurts when you’re when you’re going through that week and and things don’t go your way. It it’s just like it it is a heavy weight. And then now that I’ve been able to reflect, for me at least, it’s like, okay, well, it isn’t the end of the world. Whether it’s this or you lose a tournament or whatever, like it just takes time to get over sometimes. Does the outside noise penetrate the team at all? Like talks about pairings and like you guys like go down after the first day. Do you guys are are you able to just like block it all out or does the human nature of it take over and you like you kind of feel it on the next te the next day? No, I mean it we know our job. So like when you’re in the team rooms and you’re with everyone like you know that the energy might kind of have a little bit of a lull, right? But then you pull everyone together, you have dinner, you have a you have a couple guys talk, whoever it may be. It’s like that’s you realize what you’re fighting for again. You know, you forget about what just happened. We still have another shot. And it’s just like we knew we knew we had the the tallest of tall uphill battles on Sunday. Yeah. But I think deep down like everyone we still believed in each other and that’s all you could ask for from everyone on the team. Like if you have a guy out there that’s saying oh man you know this is over like h can’t wait to go home. It’s like no that’s not what you want. You want a guy that’s going to fight to the to the end and and even through that right? So and that’s what we had and that’s what our captains had. That’s what the team team guys and and all the players. So that’s that’s like that’s what you want out of a team that you’re going to assemble every couple years and you have no idea who’s going to be on it. All you can ask for, right? Because no matter what the the lead is, they still have to come out and beat you in matches on Sunday. So you have the chance to have that not happen. So you need guys that and that’s what happened. Like you had guys that showed up and got and lit the world on fire to start and then you started to see the momentum change. you know, Bryson, obviously JT, you had these guys like really like, you know, reinvigorating that life back into into the team. So, yeah, I mean, I think I took a lot of positives away from what happened on Sunday. I I I think that I mean, momentum is definitely a thing, even if it’s two years apart. You guys have to have a good, you know, taste in your mouth. I know it’s brutal, but like, you know, that you can do it. We just have to figure out how to get off to a better start. I mean, I think the last two, like the first one, Whistling, we played so well early on. When you get that lead, it’s like even if you’re close and you’re down by two, like that’s nothing. Yeah. Going into singles, nothing. But it’s like being buddies trip says that too. Like when you go on a buddies ride a cup trip, you’re like as long as we get to Sunday down. You watch all these pres you get to whatever. Dude, it’s always it always gets close. No m I mean this last one that we’re talking about like it was after Saturday it was like wow. But there was still got pretty close on Sunday. It’s so hard like whistling and this year it’s so hard to build those leads. So you just think like probabilities as long as you you know win a couple here, win a couple here, you’re going to be in it. But then when you when you get smashed and you’re just like, man, huh, huh, that’s a that’s a big hole. Yeah. You know, it’s it’s hard. So yeah, to that point, you obviously want to build a big lead, but if you’re three down, very very doable. Yeah. Very. Yeah, man. I remember just thinking too, like to your guys’ credit, we’re standing there. I’m I’m on the first tea up in the the crowd with my parents. My parents first ever Ryder Cup. We’ve been there for like two hours before the first T-shots hit and everybody’s like chanting and fired up and there’s like rumors the president’s going to be there. Is he flying over? He ended up coming. That was actually crazy. That was crazy. Sitting behind a glass wall. You’re walking in the first like there’s no way that guy’s, you know, the president’s going to just sit back there. And obviously he didn’t. And you know, it was it was really cool. But we’re thinking like it’s it’s literally nerve-wracking for me to even be standing there. I don’t want to like make the wrong noise and we’re like these guys are actually hitting the golf shot. Like these guys are about to be hitting the golf shot. For me, I’m thinking it’s it’s so nerve-wracking just looking around. Everybody can feel the tension, all the buildup for two years and then these guys are actually you’re in the arena hitting the golf shots and taking golf swings. Like can you feel the weight of that when it’s your turn to, you know, to play in that environment? Yeah, I mean my most of my I’ I’ve normally for some reason a lot of the golf courses the way I play alternate shot I always hit the first T- shot. So this was the first one I actually didn’t hit the first T-shot. So I was kind of just ho and get on with it. But I love like feeling that that’s when you truly figure out the type of golfer that you want to be the things you need to think about in in pressure situations. Um, it’s impossible to replicate, but that’s where you have to learn the most is when you give yourself those opportunities and you think back, you’re like, man, what was I thinking about? What did I do? How do I do that differently? How do I change it up next time? Um, or do the same thing. So, you do feel the weight, you do feel the nerves, and you know, thankfully, like one at Beth Paige where the tea was, like you can kind of hit it wherever. But I think a lot of the guys were just center face. Yeah. Swing hard. Right. It’s funny because I was thinking about like today even during our match or a couple t-shots where I was like we we’re playing a scramble. We can kind of like you feel a little bit of less pressure because you can whatever and then you like you would stand over and I’m like there’s desert everywhere. Remember then I was thinking in my head I was like this guy’s won two major championships and like one of them where he like hit it to seven feet on 16 with a bird and I was like this is not a big deal to him. Look. Yeah. But like I have to like you have to do it like I still feel the pressure. Like I hate we hate losing. Yeah. Yeah. Just part of it. Yeah. everyone completely. Um, incredible. Well, yeah, the I mean, you know, the Ryder Cup, you’re going to be part of a lot of Ryder Cups to go. I hope so. I like I there, like I said, we we don’t take it lightly. You don’t take any of the teams lightly. Um, and you just want to win for the team. You want to win for the country and a lot of pressure, but that’s that’s kind of where we perform. And hopefully you just hopefully you’re just playing good enough to where you don’t have to think about your golf and you just try and beat the guys against you, right? And the last few like even in the President’s Cup and the Olympics last couple years for me, it’s just like you kind of think of just enough about golf where it just gets in the way. It’s just like it’s hard to to go out and dominate um like you want. [Music] Is your home actually safe if you have old school home security? Traditional security systems respond after someone breaks in. Simply Safe is different because it can stop crimes before they happen with its active guard outdoor protection. AI powered cameras detect threats while they are still outside your home and then alert real security agents. This is the game changer. The agents take action while the intruder is still outside. Um, they confront the intruder, letting them uh know that they’re being watched on camera and that police are on their way and even sound a loud siren and triggering a spotlight if needed. This is going to scare them off, folks. It’s going to be better than being inside your home because you uh obviously alert them and the alarm kicks in while they’re still outside the home. Um, this is how how you stop a crime before it starts. Other systems have cameras that let you talk to intruders, but they require you to see the alert yourself. Simply Safe’s monitoring agents have your back and talk to intruders even if they aren’t there. I’ve had Simply Safe at my home in North Carolina for years. Um, it’s been huge, incredibly easy, uh, simple, some might say to set the whole thing up. I’ve got the app. I can monitor. I can see the cameras. I can change the code on the front door.

[Music] When you’re not one of the top six that qualify and you’re a captain’s pick, is there any self-doubt that creeps into you when you’re like being picked to the team and like are you ever comparing yourselves to guys that didn’t get picked? I always wonder how that feels. I mean, obviously greatest honor ever. You always take it and you run with it. Have you ever felt that feeling of like did you ever compare yourself to anyone that may have not been on the team going into that? How your current game was or any of that? No. I mean, you think back at like how teams can play out. I mean, that’s part of the whole six and six and captains and vice captains can go a million different ways. Yeah. And you could you could have taken the six that we were picked and put a completely different six and it could have gone great, could have gone poor, whatever. You win, you’re praised. If you lose, you when I look at it, it’s like it’s a full bodies of work. Obviously, current play is a big part of it. How you fit into the team um is a big part of it. You know, I like what was it two years ago? Everyone talks about like the boys club and all that stuff. It’s look when you put together and you assemble a team, you you want everyone to get along. Yeah. And it’s not that we don’t, but sometimes you don’t know how other guys will fit and how other guys will perform on certain stages and um doesn’t mean they can’t, doesn’t mean they won’t. Sometimes it’s a little harder. But for me, I’ i’ve never had I never thought about like comparing and saying, “Hey, man, like this guy had a better body of work or this guy’s playing better.” I just know when you get that call, you essentially have a month and a half to figure [ __ ] out. And if you don’t, then you better figure it out that week. And you better just show up with something. Yeah. Um you better be a great teammate. You better help out. You better help the rookies. you better motivate because these are just all little things that um people never see, right? And and it’s like people think it’s an individual sport. Normally it is. It’s just us and our caddies, but just like any other team sport like we love seeing the whole camaraderie like the huddles, all that stuff of saying like I mean [ __ ] like you know when when Gruden spoke to the team like I embarrassing I got I got chills. I was like, damn. Like, that got me fired up. I think cuz I was out there. I was on that team. I think that’s the greatest moment of my life. Has to be. I like I I I that would have been one of the greatest moments of my life if I sat in that thing. And I love Gruden. I’ I love those Bucks teams. I love he having him there and the fact that he can just he as soon as he walked out on that patio, he knew that we wanted that from him and he gave it to us. It But it was like that’s like that’s when you know you’re a great coach. It’s like that’s that’s what you do. Yeah. You motivate people, you bring people together. So things like that people never see, right? And you might never see those type of things. You might see little tidbits here and there, but like like when we stood on the first tea and I think, you know, people were able to see it when, you know, the firefighter came out and his his dad, you know, 911 and all that stuff like that’s that that hits the heart big time. So things like that um being a part of that uh you just you just do what you can and uh so yeah it’s a long totally I mean it is we talk about it is an individual sport and then you guys have to become this team over the course of like a week and it’s not a team sport so like it is there’s a lot of things that come at play and then you have the critics that will say oh we don’t want a boys club but then on the European side they’ll be like these guys are all best friends that’s why they’re great in the team that’s why they’re great in alternate They’re all so like it because it it is only one week. You guys do need some consistency on that team because then you you drag a week into years and multiple uh you know RDER cups where like you start to build that chemistry. You do I don’t think people like I I think that’s where like media kind of goes in the wrong direction of like they they might call the Euros are all best friends and they go do stuff together. It’s like no one no one hates each other in our team room. Like we’re all mixing up our dinner tables. Like if you want to sit with this, join this. Like yeah, you know, and that’s where people who who don’t watch golf who then want to tune in for a week and a half, take it. And and it’s like if you do see it, it’s like okay well no like you’re not I mean [ __ ] like I got called out for like asking for chaos from the fans from from the RDER Cup and like I’m the sole like I’m the reason why people were saying ridiculous things. Yeah. So look the US team. Yeah. It’s nice to have the consistency and all that but we I think we do a good job and this year it was great because we all went to Napa. We all hung out. Um not that we needed to. Yeah. But it just brings everyone together because like you said like to throw everyone together for one week is a lot harder. Uh even if we all know each other, it’s not it’s not a team. It’s like team through training camps and they go through regular seasons like this is your Super Bowl and like they’re just putting you together for I mean look half the guys I’ve known for over half my life, right? Yeah. People don’t realize that. Like that’s you know it’s just that’s just the nature of what we It also just goes back to if you win you control the narrow if you guys are great like oh he’s a genius you guys right you come you guys come back and win that Ryder Cup and everything that you guys did that week was perfect falling behind was perfect like that’s you know what I mean everything if you win you just you get to write the history books and that’s it. Yep. And that’s uh I you know I think Keegan said it but it’s just that’s what sucks about the captaincy the role sometimes is you have to live or die by it but um like I said like we stood by him and we always will still stand by Keegan. Uh he he did a lot for us. He did. I love that. I mean we are it sucked to lose like you know like I’m [ __ ] you know I don’t want that to get lost on. Yeah. Thank you. But you know like we want we want this [ __ ] figured out as you We do, you know, it’s and it’s uh I’m not going to take light of the President’s Cup, but I think, you know, that we get away with a lot in the President’s Cup. I mean, we went 5-0 one day and then 0 and five the next day. And like we were pissed and whatever and but like we didn’t really like blink an eye or whatever. We just kind of showed up the next day. Yep. Won our matches. Cruised on in. Um yeah, I don’t know if there’s like an urgency that needs to be be out there. M uh the way the pairing’s put together, the way we play [ __ ] golf, like we we just all need it all needs to come together, you know? Needs to come together. We’ve done it before. I know we have. Oh, yeah. I’ve been on a winning team. Yeah. Oh, 2021. Wow. What a time. Very different. It is true. It’s like that year then it was like us is ready for a 10-year dominant streak. Always happen. Is like the most perfect captain of all time. Look at these guys smoking cigars together. They are all best buddies and then two years later it’s like blow it up. What a disaster. Go. Everybody they don’t want to play. Everyone’s like it’s a disaster. Then it winning cures everything. Couple more butts fall. That’s sports though. It is. Like it is look at the at the core root of it. We’re all competitors. Like we will do whatever it takes. And uh so it’s it just sucks cuz like with this it’s every two years. Like for for Americans, if you’re playing well, like you were playing on a team event every single year. Do you kind of like you might have you might have a good, you know, good year, the President’s Cup, then you go to Ryder Cup, and then going back and forth. It’s like the Euros kind of they they build for that. But that’s uh just just what it is. It’s also like you guys, you know, you’re going up against a serious roster of golfers, too. We get all flustered being like, why aren’t we? And it’s like, dude, they’re putting out Rory Mroy and Tommy Fleetwood and then they’re putting out John Rom at Dear Latin and like they’ve got a good I mean obviously at Whistling like they had a few of the older guys um that were at the tail ends of their maybe Ryder Cup careers like Europe’s I Yeah, like I could see the same roster in two years, right? Like maybe one or two guys, but like a lot of these guys I I don’t know where they’re where they would go. Like I already know on Friday morning in two years like John Rob’s hitting the first T-shot for team Europe. That’s crazy. Like they’re like set. So you want to put a bet on that? This guy’s a little future. I’m up. I’m up a little. This guy’s feeling it, man. What a great place for you to live by the way for that. Yeah. You know, I’m not like in full like I’m not going to go end this podcast and go unless you guys are going. We got into it last night at the casino. My dad. My gosh. I told you the stories already, but yeah, crap table was alive. I love it. It was alive. You guys should try bubble craps. What’s bubble crap? Shout out to Bluff. I don’t I’ve never met him. He’s another YouTuber. Bubble crap. It’s craps, but like you just press the little buttons. I heard about this. Really? So, it’s super quick. Like the vibes the vibes are It’s one of those machines. Yeah, the vibes are like you’re just playing by yourself. RIP brilliant. But I mean, you can make you can make quick money or obviously, you know, you can roll a lot of sevens. Dude, last night though we were playing and a couple of the guys didn’t know uh like the game. So, and and one of the reasons, you know, we were coming out here for Vegas for this and I was at the restaurant and I’m telling my dad, “Oh,” he goes, “What are you guys doing this weekend?” I’m like, “Oh, I’m going out to Vegas on Sunday.” And he runs into the restaurant to the kitchen, looks at his little book of schedules, comes back out and goes, “Yeah, I can come.” He loves Vegas. Absolutely loves the game. Loves the camaraderie of the guys uh around a table. So fun. It’s it’s nothing better than a one of the things I told you know he did this with our hockey guys the spit and chicklets guys when we came out here for a hockey event he was running the table I roll I rolled for 30 minutes one night and guys were making crazy money it was insane and he was a legend that night like telling people what to do calling out hard numbers so I’ve he knew the the the pressure going into last night cuz like he’s got this kind of reputation of like I got to command this crap table which in Vegas like that’s a pretty big spot you know the spotlight’s on you now you’re you’re in this big uh you people lose money. No. And you don’t know who’s at the table with you. Like this is some serious stuff. So these guys are all standing around. They’re learning the game for the first time. And he’s rolling. He’s starting to get hot and like he’s telling people what to do. The pass line behind. You got to double up. This is where your odds are. We’re all and we’re rolling well. Like guys are doing long rolls. All of a sudden, you know, this guy lands on the six. We’re looking for a six. My dad calls out. He flips $10. He goes, “I need a hard six. I need a three.” Next. And oh, this is when he was rolling. He goes, “I’m going to go for a six. I’m going to go for a three. Hard six. Rolls it. Hard six. We lose our mind. Next guy next to me after a couple rolls, uh, he lands on land lands on the 10. My dad flips a flips a $10 bill. A $10 coin. He goes, “Give me a five. Give me a 64. I need a 64. It’s a one time. I need a 64.” Dude, it hits the back wall. A six shows up and then as the second dice is rolling, it it slow motion. The four nut. He goes, “Now give me a four.” And the four hits. We lost our minds. I almost jumped on the table. I mean, it was it was legitimately one of the most fun nights of my life. Welcome to Vegas. Yeah, right. Welcome to Vegas. But I mean, that’s like you could play for 10, you could play for 25. It doesn’t matter what you’re playing for. It’s that feeling. It’s that it’s that eruption of just like excitement. It’s like I’m at a hockey game and they just scored the goal. I couldn’t wait. I couldn’t wait to grab someone. Beating the odds. Beating the odds. What’s your favorite restaurant out here? Because I know you’re kind of a food guy. Yeah. Uh I mean, Carbone is obviously one of our favorites. We always end up going there when we’re kind of on the road. There’s a place, it’s a like a tonkatu, like a fried pork, fried chicken restaurant. Okay. Called Ton to O N T O N. Uh small little like mom and pop hole in the wall. Sits right next to a Sonic and a and like a tired tire. Sonic. Sneaky good breakfast at Sonic. I don’t know. Doesn’t sound as good as ton. No. Taco Bell sounds nice. Yeah, it does. Sonic doesn’t do it. We went to Prime last night at IO. Amazing. Yeah, it was really cool. There’s there’s so many so much good food on the strip and they’re bringing in uh they’re actually bringing in this in New York. Have you ever been to Coat? No. Coat. It’s a Korean barbecue. It’s like one of the best like restaurants in the country. No. Have to go to New York. It’s in the city. Is it easy to get into? It’s probably a nightmare. Sure. I mean, you guys know enough people. I got to get I got to get more into the Korean barbecue world. It is Coot T. But they just brought it out here. I’m write it down. Uh, probably one of my favorite meals I’ve ever had. Wow. Yeah. Okay. My top 10. Okay. That’s huge. Amazing. Yeah. You got to go. You’ve been to the New York one or not? You got I’ve been to the New York. We went to the New York one uh two months ago for the first time. Everyone always talked about it. Coke. Yeah. And I was like, you know, it’s Korean barbecue. Like, how good can it be? It was like the full everything. It was And I like I make sure like there’s also enough portion size. Like I I don’t go to just pay for a half bite. Sometimes it is good. But yeah, like I I also factor that into my uh our waiter said that last night. I was like, “This was delicious.” And he goes, “Good portions, right?” I said, “Yeah, it was good portions.” Good water, too, huh? Frank, he’s sorry. Dad’s pay really good water. I knew you made money. They’re like, “How do we how do we scam this guy?” It was unbelievable, dude. They asked for tap water. You know, they they asked you say, “Do you want do you want still like you demand tap?” Yeah. You want still sparkling? I’ll take still. And then you you continue your conversation. The rest of the night, my dad, it was driving him crazy watching. Hey, sometimes you got to drink like better water. It’s like you We just didn’t know what was going on. He’s filling up bottles and my dad was like, he’s probably filling up the bottle in the back under the tap. Yeah. Let me hear that. Let me hear that. Let me hear that crack on that bottle. because we ordered the still and when you took a sip of water, he was right over your shoulder filling it up and then dude, we paid like a hundred bucks in water last night. It was just crazy. Walking to Vegas. Yeah. Yeah. No, it’s it’s an interesting good town. I like it here. It’s a It is fun. It is fun. You always think like Great energy. You know, I came for Dave’s uh birthday a couple of years in a row. DP 40 41. We you know, we went after it and then like you get those you think back to some of those nights and waking up super hung over. There was one day I woke up, I couldn’t hold on to grapes. Remember that? I was so hung over I couldn’t hold on to grapes. There’s a video of him talking to me. I’m white as a ghost and I just had these grapes in my hand. I kept dropping them. I was so hung over. You couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t hold on to dropped like six grapes. I dropped like I dropped six grapes. Sure. You just weren’t nervous in front of him? Probably. It was all It was all combination. What’s your thing with What is your thing with him? Like why does he think he’s like got your number? I don’t think I don’t think you got enough time to sit here and do therapy about you have the credentials. You work you worked like for him, right? Oh, yeah. He’s like right hand man for like six six seven years. Okay, that’s that explains it. But he’s just got he commands this like this like attention and and he has this aura. I always say the aura about him. But it is it’s uh there’s not many people on this earth that have that type of feeling that you there’s certain people when they walk in the room you’re like, “All right, I better be on my shit.” Yeah. And when you work so closely to him and you don’t want to [ __ ] up, it just something in you is just Yeah. Hide butthole. Yeah. Yep. Dude, it is. It’s like you just don’t want to mess up around him and you know he’s going to like let you hear it and everything’s like public, right? So like whenever I was like late to the office or like I like he wouldn’t text me, he would tweet it. Like Frankie Bell thinks he think Frankie Brley is getting too comfortable and then like everyone’s coming after me. And it’s just like [ __ ] you know, like I’m stuck on a subway like and your heart’s racing that that that hot feeling in your stomach and you’re like daddy daddy daddy. Honestly, what what it comes down you guys got to watch the video. What a lot of it comes down to he’s just very honest. He’s just he’ll just talk good people like I I I need you people need just the hard hard truth some not always hold you accountable but just like I think we we’ve gotten a little too soft. he’ll give it to you how it is and we get we’ve gotten to the point at Barcel where he doesn’t have um like a like he doesn’t have his hands and everything like people are kind of like on um and then at the end of the like it all falls down under him like he has to like make sure everyone’s doing their job but like we all have a little bit more leeway and and and I guess freedom than we used to when we were all in the office. Um, and we always say to each other because we’ve been through the fire where like some of these people like they just like would like that like Dave if Dave knew that that was going on it would drive him crazy like they didn’t work in that Dave Portoy business of like getting called out you know like you know if you weren’t working video didn’t come out at 6:00 you’re like it’s over dude like I’m letting everyone know that you what were you doing like what were you doing get it out that’s when it comes out so now like like when stuff like that just kind of slips through the cracks it’s like they didn’t feel that fire you know big it is stressful Good style. He’s perfect to work for because like that’s what you want out of your boss. The best thing that happened in my life was like it changed who I was. I was Dave. They’re kissing ass now. All right. Well, no, it is though. You know, like that was my other boss back there. My dad, you met him. He’s the nicest person on the planet. Like he would let me do whatever the hell I wanted. I was showing up to BL as a waiter. My shift start at 4. I was showing up at 6:30. Like I I mean I didn’t have that in me. I was just like he’s the nicest guy in the world. So like, you know, I didn’t he never yelled at me. Like I needed someone to be like this is how you freaking you know. Yeah. This is this is how you this is how you freaking work in this in this world now. I agree. I agree. He was too nice back there. My dad tough tough life man. Frankie. Yeah. He’s the best. Yeah. There you go. I’m a big Mr. Brley fan. Yeah. Me too. Till he gave me that card. Yeah. He gave me It’s a free dessert platter. Yeah. You don’t like dessert. You got to buy a couple.

The video is going to be awesome. People are going to love it. And then, you know, hearing from you. We haven’t heard from you for a little bit on the pod. So, you’re going to get a lot of us this month. We’re going to see you in a couple weeks. Yes, we will. You know. Yeah, that’s right. Media. Might have to do another match. Those are fun days. They are fun. They’re fun. Those are really fun. You’re always in the mix when we do a Tiger video. You’re always like lurking around asking us if we’re nervous. Well, yeah, because you guys you guys look you guys look we were pacing. You guys aren’t good at hiding things. You were not very obvious pacing around this one T box. I don’t even I was so nervous. I don’t remember where we were, what day it was. And all of a sudden, I just see you on the next hole and you’re like, what are you guys doing today? Anything interesting? It’s like, dude, we got Tiger in like two minutes. I’m going to throw up everywhere. But you you guys are you guys can we can read you like a book. There’s nothing wrong with that. I could tell cuz you like creep closer with your little golf cart and you’re like so you guys are doing something. You’re nervous about what’s happening here. We told you you’re like, “Oh, I got to watch this.” I being around Tiger like obviously I’ve gotten to play with him. It still is nerve-wracking. I mean he’s someone that we grew up with. So yeah, he’s an idol. He’s an idol for us. So yeah, you were a huge Tiger fan growing up. Absolutely. That’s the only person I’d watch. That’s the only like thing you’d kind of care about. Like I didn’t really watch grow up watching like a ton of golf. I didn’t really care too much. I’d rather watch other things like I’d just have Sports Center on, but uh if Tiger was in the mix, which was a lot, you just kind of turn on. Coming from Southern California too, that’s just got to I mean he he casts a big wake across the nation, but there man that he that’s ground zero for where he came from. Did you play other sports? Played baseball, basketball, uh skied a bunch. Second base, shortstop. You second base? I was second baseman. Skied a bunch. Skied a bunch. Wow. Really? Yeah. I’m I love I’m I would say I’m like a fairly athletic guy. Like I see that I think if you put like a lot of the short guys on tour like we’re fairly athletic because like we have we kind of have to be. Brian Harmon. Yeah. Wow. I know. Like I [ __ ] you not like it’s Mhm. Like Danny McCarthy Denny McCarthy thinks he’s the JJ Swan. Uh I don’t know about JJ. I’m gonna have to text him. But like Denny McCarthy Denny McCarthy is actually very athletic. Like obviously Scotty’s very athletic. I mean, there’s plenty of guys that aren’t. Yeah. But like, I can hold my own. Yeah. Oh, I can see that. Totally see that. 2v2 basketball. Oh, man. I don’t have the cardio for that. I really don’t. Gas. We walked up a couple. We I mean, we play the T- boxes from as far back as you can. I was winded on a few of those. I was, too. Did you ever see the big one-on-one basketball game that happened at Bar Stool? No. Oh, that’s what I do want to do one day. What? The gauntlet? Yes. Oh, the Yak Gauntlet. Yeah. Yeah. Like whenever that whenever that pops up, I like I’m like, “God, these guys suck.” I’ve never done it either. I think I would actually be pretty good at suck. I haven’t done it either. I would I’m I’m like a I’m obsessed with playing bags and cornhole. So, I feel like I would run right through the first the first part of it. We got to get you in there and do it. Maybe in like all those like uh runic rotation yard games. Are you a big like yard game guy? Like I don’t play No, I don’t play much. Like I can hold my own. I can hold my own. Ping pong is right up my alley. You know why is that? I don’t get it. Yeah, I don’t get it. I don’t get it. No, it’s fine. We’ll skip over that. Just so everybody knows, we didn’t get it. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I want that on the record. Times our flight. Yeah. I would like that on the record. Do you have that in you though? Like you hear all these stories about Jordan where he’s like if you’re just having like a you’re playing a fun game of ping pong or something or any sport like that. Do you like do you does it kill you if you lose? Yeah. Nothing’s fun. Okay. Like I can’t I can’t do anything like if we do anything right now? I mean you kind of saw that out there especially like back I I Yeah. Like the betting started to increase as like I was just trying to find things like it’ll anything we do like, oh, if if you’re not at roughly the same level, I will get bored. And that’s like not to your fault. Sure. But if we’re playing pickle ball and you’re just like a beginner, I’ll just like I’ll pull hair out of my head. Yeah. Interesting. Or play video games. Uh yeah, like you know, I play we played a lot of like War Zone. Mhm. Um I haven’t played in the last two years, but like actually at the Open I brought I bought a laptop to go travel for that week cuz everyone was saying like a PS4 at the time would like fry because of the outlets. So I bought a laptop like a gaming laptop and like I sh Yeah. Cuz your routine off at like 2 3:00 I’d wake up and like I’d play on shitty Wi-Fi right before like I’m not I’m That’s actually one of the worst things I’m at. Yeah. Video games. Yeah. Well, not like I mean I’m not good. Yeah. I play a lot of Call of Duty. I’m like a comfortable like 15 handicap, but like I’ll like I’ll like, you know, we’ll play with like Kurt and Minw’s really good. Gamer. Wow. But yeah, just a gamer. Chess? No, but I’ll I’ll learn it. You good at chess? I was thinking about cuz uh You good at chess? We talked to a couple guys like that’s what they do on the road. There’s Yeah, I know. Like does it? Yeah. It’s like that becomes like Yeah. No, I like never play chess, but like I mean you’re you’re challenging me. No, dude. I can’t play chess. I can’t play chess at all. I don’t know. I don’t know the rules. I don’t know. I’m just trying to think of what guys do. Tic tac-toe. Trying to think of other things guys have mentioned on the road. Like what the I the food thing I feel like is probably like one of the big things on the road that you do. Yeah. Food food for me is like a big thing cuz it’s mainly right. You guys play cards. Uh Minu and I we fly a lot together. It is dangerous. Yeah. The the What’s your game of choice? Uh, so we started this new game and I I don’t know where I saw it. Like you’d put nine cards out and you flip them all over and you try and go through the entire deck guessing high or low on whatever card. You can go in any order. You just like you just look at the card and say like if there’s a king like obviously you’re going to pick low and I see. So if it’s low, it can’t be the same card. So you try and go through the full deck and sometimes we get it in like a couple tries. Sometimes we like never get it for the plane ride. Uh, but it pisses pisses us off. You get tired of that and then you go there gambling aspect to that. Yeah. Yeah. We’re not doing it for fun like you know I mean I think our last flight we went through every game like we were doing we did like just one deck blackjack so whoever’s dealing like is the house and then you switch and then we were doing pock and then we were doing and then we did war and then you know it’s rummy AC I learned about AC/y Ducey. That’s really that’s a really fun game. Uh see like Min doesn’t know Jyn so like I’m not going to sit there and play Jin against him. Um You’ll be like, “Come on, idiot.” Yeah. Just be like, “What are we doing?” Yeah. Yeah. So, we have our games. Like, it’s really bad competitive. It It’s more of a competition thing. Like, you would do it for 25 cents. I would. I would. And that’s the thing. Like, I I 100% would. Yeah. It’s just like it got out of hand. Yeah. You But it got back and it got back. We brought it back. We did. We We brought it back to Earth. Yeah.

Our bets could have been a dollar today. It would have meant the same thing. Like it would have been exactly the same. But like when you are when you’re betting your own money just you don’t want to lose. No you don’t. Yeah. You’re handing someone that you earned two things because they beat you. Yeah. That sucks.

Colin – just sent you an email.
Colin is one of my favorites! Great guest
You all did a fantastic job on the Internet Invitational! Thank You to all the people behind the scenes and the sponsors!
You can take that invitational to Regional Events culminating with the championship and it would be total gold!
For pro’s to be invested in the Internet Invitational proves the entertainment, competition & personalities is the perfect mix for this golf format. Barstool needs to drop BDS & just take it over. They can do monthly videos with 3 or 4 of these personalities a month then get them all together for another tourney next year & have it be bigger & better. Definitely need more chirping, side games or bets, & more of the chaos Dave wants because we want it too ! 🤙🏼
Frankie’s shins showing 😳 🫣☀️
Put some pants on Frankie!!! Blinding us 😂😂😂
brad dalke should be on tour
Can’t wait for broomstick Collin
Frankie finally, you are a dad, it’s time to let your legs out , let your body shine baby
“The barstool world” so up your a s s frank 😂
sky sports do mid round interviews well on the DPW tour, America is just playing catch up with it. seems less relaxed and personable at the mo
Collin seems like a beauty, incredible ball striker. This was a great listen
Internet Invitational is legitimately the third best piece of golf content from anyone/anywhere in the world this year, which is wild. Rory's Masters, Ryder Cup are the only things better. Huge testament to the organisers and especially the editing team. Incredible job of building tension through the chaos.
Grew up playing the game. Started tourneys at age 8-9, successful high school career but didn’t play in college because I was BURNT out. Don’t really watch golf except the masters. This tournament was awesome! Has had me hooked.
If Dalke got a sponsors exemption or something I guarantee he would make the cut on tour
The main difference in the coverage is that pga tour is live.. youtube has weeks to curate storyline
I want beef to win so bad Thursday
