heading into the week at Valhalla coming off a runner-up finish at the Wells Fargo he’s been knocking on the door just hasn’t been able to close had been able to walk through and win that first major title but boy did he put on a show course record on Thursday and just kept it rolling all the way through got a little dicey there for a second on the back night on Sunday but man it was a hell of a week at the PGA got to get in the zone for this right here love these bad boys uh Xander that was spectacular it’s it’s I I was like you shouldn’t be rooting for people or whatever I don’t care Sunday I was like dude he deserves this like he’s been so close so many times you look at his major record we pulled it up on Wikipedia during the broadcast the whole thing’s yellow he’s been there over and over he’s gotten some bad beats in Sundays in other tournaments going into this Rory catch a fire wind I’m catching fire and it’s just that closing stretch there that putt that he made on the 72nd changes the whole if he goes into a playoff somehow misses that and then Bryson beats him or something then the narrative just explodes even more so not only get the monkey off his back winning the first major championship but closing like that and leading wire to wire that was I mean dude he it’s really really good right now really good it is I mean I think this is going to I’m not going to say open the floodgates because I don’t want to get killed for that but getting that first one I think which is the hardest one and now he’s going to be so much more comfortable he’s a second ranked player in the world I mean people take notice when he’s up there on leaderboards to make that putt by the way I thought he was going to lip out totally honest it was going left side I like with at that speed I was like that’s coming up yeah and I I had Bryson’s group about you you’ll be proud of me so I I had the choice I could Shane Lowry and S thala or Bryson to Shambo and Victor hin obviously the ne they were the third group from last I was like you know what Bryson’s Bryson’s a show man he is fun I want to go out there and watch him and boy did I make the right choice because both him and Victor were going we were showing every single shot the crowds were going nuts I was having a blast with those guys out there whether you hate him you love him whatever Bryson is so entertaining man he he plays to the crowd he’s in the last year in my opinion he’s just changed so much he is so much more relaxed he looks like he’s actually having a great great time out there and he’s freaking good it is so impressive to watch him hit the golf ball I mean he’s been a factor in the last three Majors on Sunday and being close and all those so the golf is good he’s he’s one of those dudes like golf needs people that you either love or you hate there’s a lot of people just right down the middle vanilla don’t care one way or the other Bryson elicits a reaction from everyone and his golf game it feels like it’s finally in the right spot with all the tinkering the things physically he looks comfortable again you know for a while there I was like dude that’s just I don’t feel like that’s going to work out long term um his celebration dude he had an awesome moment I thought he like even though he didn’t win the tournament maybe won the week the when he flicked the ball to the kid walking from 9 to 10 and some grownup by the way what a scumbag grown going to jack a ball from a little kid like what are you going to do like Bryson touched this ball dude you’re 40 relax anyways he stole it Bryson saw it out of his the know corner of his eye and like ran over to like uhuh uhuh uhuh come back give it to the kid like [ __ ] like that he doesn’t have to do that like you know he doesn’t even have to pay attention to that but to do that I thought his interviews afterwards we’re incredibly good like pretty humble you know there’s and he still has the weird like intricacies that we like all the science [ __ ] stuff like that um he’s just different dude and he’s been close real real close he’s the he’s been the best in major championships out of the live guys outside of Brooks who’s got one tell you one other thing and just because I I’m out there walking and like if guys want to talk I’ll talk it’s a major championship but I normally stay ahead and if they want to say something to me they’re more than welcome he yelled at me several times like hey wanted to ask a question and then we were going we’re on the sixth hole and we were in a commercial when he hit his second shot and I knew that it missed just over to the right and so I’m up about 100 yards in the Fairway and here here he comes he’s already hit the shot and so I’m getting ready to make this call and I was like oh this one needs to hang on it was fading it’s the one he when he puted it in from off the green but the second shot landed on the green and rolled off and I said ah he did not get lucky in Kentucky and he just goes damn that’s pretty funny I was like just the fact that he just sat there and acknowledged it after he just kind of got a shitty break I was like okay I like this brys he legit like one of the only dudes out there that looks like he’s having fun like he’s enjoying it you know he’s pumping up the crowd yeah he’s having a good time everyone else is like Sunday at a major oh my God I’m about to [ __ ] my pants my heart’s going to explode he looks like he’s having a good time it was he’s he is a needle mover there is no doubt I wish we got and I’m not going to say I wish we get to see more of him because I know we could see him if we watch I’m just saying we cover the PJ tour for the most part we wish we could see him teeing it up out there against those guys more more often I would say yeah and domestically and did you see they someone threw this out on Twitter earlier today it was like the press conferences Sunday press conferences of all like the main guys Xander included um Bryson was in there JT local guy all like bigname guys Victor near the top and Bryson’s was like it was more than com 5x like what the next closest was like it blows it out so there’s no whether you love him hate him like dude people tune in which golf needs more than ever right now they needs people that draw interest I went through his bag on Monday just looking at all his stuff The Lofts this guy has on his clubs he has a six degree driver a 9° 3-wood a 13° fivewood I’m like okay we just got to start saying degrees of Loft with you because I mean your seven iron 26 which is actually a five iron he carries five wedges I mean everything he does is just different but it’s fascinating yeah his wedge is like 42 de or something like that which is like why why do you call it a wedge then just call it what it is you know what I mean it doesn’t make sense to me what’s the difference if it’s got an eight or a six on the bottom and people are you know saying this stuff on Twitter today and all this it’s like look I think most of the people don’t understand how it works like he can launch it at a certain height and he can spin it enough so therefore he can make his seven iron crazy strong he can make all of his irons crazy strong because of his launch conditions um but man it’s it was fun to watch him play but the man and also shout out Victor hin welcome back my man it’s been a strugg um went out there to Joe Mayo went out in flew from charlot to Vegas spent a day and a half with Joe Mayo flew back at one point was tied for the lead there I said he’s the only man who uh left Vegas feeling better than he did when he showed up without question maybe Tom Kim he seems to leave there uh in good form too but how quick that happened is is wild he gave an interview um after maybe it was Friday or something he’s like I almost withdrew this week because my game he’s like I just it’s not good enough he saw it do it earlier this year in Phoenix too that’s how close it was to not even playing damn near won the thing yeah he uh he actually was working with Dana delist some before going back to Joe Mayo he was was in Charlotte talked to him he’s like he wanted to withdraw from Charlotte he’s like I’m we’re all just trying to get him to play like he just got to figure this thing out and he looked like the victor of old there on Sunday he was striping I mean he was the bug he made on 18 whatever that was just he was devastated from missing the putt to possibly getting a playoff um but it is awesome to watch Victor when he is when he is on form that that group was just fantastic hopefully he just stays where he’s at now like okay got it no more tinkering no more changing coaches and doing all that I mean but like the biggest news dude out of the whole day got to get your cuz I wasn’t with you we were there but at the same time but we weren’t there in the morning like when when the Scotty news gets dropped and that he’s been arrested walk me through what you where you were when you heard that what you thought all the [ __ ] cuz it was it was wild there for a while so we were supposed to be on from 10: to 12 um to to fill in for ESPN’s crew our CBS crew was so I had my alarm set for 7:30 we’re leaving the hotel at 8 I wake up and I’m not exaggerating I have 87 text messages and I’m like what what in the hell who died what happened and obviously come find out at first the first thing I saw was Jeff darlington’s tweet and I thought it was a joke and I was like this isn’t the best joke Jeff you probably do a little better than this and then I saw the video and I’m like holy [ __ ] this is this is real and I mean first and foremost our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the guy that was in the accident I mean that’s just horrific but to see everything go down then I mean Char or Scotty getting taken away in handcuffs and arrested in a mug shot in an orange jumpsuit like really we got to put the jumpsuit on him guys official I mean that was just wild I just I never in my wildest dreams I’m like can this sport catch a break I mean it’s just getting [ __ ] on for everything that’s going on and now we got the number one player in the world who’s cruising along again in jail might not make his tea time Scotty’s clock was ticking it was just a matter of time before he caught got caught up in a little legal issue you know how Scotty is joke sarcasm there read the room guys I mean he’s the nicest human on the planet I mean a lot of people say if you had to if you had to rank the 156 players on the field who’d be the least likely to get arrested he probably anywhere from 150 to 156 yeah Peter Mount nauy also suspect his time’s coming too dude if it hadn’t been I same thing woke up million text all this stuff like hey you gonna go bail out Scotty hey what’s the te time look like you know how’s the you know Longest Yard all this type of [ __ ] and I was like what are you talking about cuz I had even gone on Twitter yet I go on if I if there if Jeff Darlington had been there and just seen the whole thing happen and didn’t pull his phone out in video and just tweeted and was like hey I was just pulling into Valhalla right behind Scotty Sheffer he had an altercation with a cop he’s been arrested is going down to the jail to be processed all that I would zero people would have believed that thing if it wasn’t for that video which if I was Jeff in that situation like the the last thing I would have been thinking probably was like pull out my phone and video this so Props to him for doing that because otherwise nobody would have believed what was going on dude the fact that he did it and then got back because of the delay and teed off not just teed off shot 66 like it was it was just a wild sequence of events they I mean we’ll never see anything like that again I wouldn’t think listen shout obviously it’s a very unfortunate situation but shout out to Scotty going out there and teeing it up and handling everything the way he did to shoot 66 what the score doesn’t really matter in my opinion it’s very impressive that he shot 66 but the way he handled his business and then look Saturday I think my in my opinion I followed his group it just all hit him and he had no energy I mean the guy does not miss iron shots short and left he doesn’t miss t- shots left and it was happening the whole time I just there was no legs I think he was just mentally gassed I felt horrible for him I mean to have to go through that like really dude major championship I I wasn’t there and the body there was no body camera there but I’ve been at tournaments where there’s crazy traffic jams there’s an accident so you have to go around you’re an official Courtesy car right outside the gates of the golf course and you’re a security guard working a golf tournament like it was raining it was dark there was a lot of [ __ ] going on I said I don’t want to assume anything what was this guy was thinking when he you know hurled himself at Scotty sheffer’s car like I don’t think he was it’s not like he was going 60 M hour like trying to get away from you uh it’s just a really weird scene I’m interested to see if anything comes out you know in the future about everything that really happen which is like I think we all would have liked to see like what exactly did he do that you need to launch yourself onto his car and by the way after it does happen he gets them out and everyone’s freaking out it takes one like rational mind to come over and calm like what’s going on here oh hey by the way this is a player even if you don’t know who Scotty sheffler is even if you’re not a golf guy like this is a player player like he’s got his credentials he’s in the cursy car like this is probably let’s just let cooler heads prevail here confusion mixup let’s let him go we don’t need this kind of PR but to just immediately boom you’re going to jail by the way speaking of good press conferences Scotty handled that Like A Champion I don’t even think sometimes you see dudes get up and when they’re in a little Scandal or whatever I’m like that’s so coached that’s so fake that’s so [ __ ] his felt like I was like I don’t even think I think he just got up there and said what he actually thinks knew the name of the family address them first and foremost right out of the gate before I got that because I me listen this is a this was a tragic thing that happened um you know somebody lost a family member there that day and what happened to Scotty was very unfortunate but listen he’s okay he’s back playing golf but just crazy I mean you can’t you can’t make it up but um it was a wild week it felt fake yeah but shout out to Kentucky y’all showed up valalo was awesome whether you like it or not if you like 20 21 underpar winning I don’t know for me it’s all about is it a exciting finish and we’ve had four PJ championships there since I’ve been around I think that might be all in general to but going back to 1996 playoff playoff Rory birdie and the last to win in the dark Xander chafl birding the last to win I mean it’s it’s what you want coming down the stretch for a major championship the numbers as far as as to par might not be what they are but I want something exciting coming down the stretch and we got it first exciting major we’ve had since I mean I would call Windom and Rory’s little showdown at La I would call that like an exciting one but then the Open Championship Harmon ran away with that no drama Masters this year no drama really the best tournament outside going the players the players was awesome that’s by far the best tourament of the Year leading up to this and this one it delivered and not just it wasn’t just tight but it was like names you want to see up there too it wasn’t sometimes PJ will throw sprinkle in a random D you know Sean mckel and things like that but but the way that’s that 18th whole setup and I would say the entire back nine for the most part I mean it’s like it’s like a stadium golf course in the crowds it just looks big and it’s loud it’s awesome man so congrats to them on on once again showing off and delivering a great Championship I will say this we I mentioned it dur our preview show about the little Xander chaet Doty situation the fu Doty Doty Peppers my cryptonite great moment which I believe Mark put it on our social thing but I was up there at the end and gave him congratulations he came over and gave gave me a high five first thing he did looked right at me goes not today ddy I thought it might have been the other version of it when I first saw like you can’t really hear it or make out like what he says or whatever but I was like 100% that’s a Doty doy reference shout out man that was awesome shout out to doy getting getting the monkey off her back too dude it was a big day for everybody it was a big day and I mean you don’t want to be the cooler next time you get Scotty you better go low by the way you don’t want to be known for the the only guy that the only overpar round of Scotty’s year you don’t want to be the guy I think there’s little asteris next to the one with Scotty for me on Saturday you know what I mean I’m just saying I’m just saying um but yeah that that was uh good [ __ ] Dy loves it too by the way oh she thinks it’s the greatest it’s awesome it’s it is awesome all right our episode this week is speak aw awesome okay before we get to him can we shout out Bargetown well I was going to say I mean dude that place was awesome it was awesome Bargetown bourbon we were at the at the tasting room down there in downtown Louisville they rolled out the red carpet for us it was fantastic and that’s where our episode with Stanford Steve is this guy I love him man him and Scott velt on Sports Center are just fantastic I’ve gotten the chance to know him over the last couple years cuz he’s always at the PGA Championship

very familiar with the man we have here with us today he’s on Sports Center with Scott Vel seen him on college game day gambling Savant hosts what I would say is the greatest segment in all of Television bad beats he’s here with us Stanford Steve how are you brother absolutely awesome appreciate I tell you what we met at Southern Hills a couple years ago at the PJ Championship which is where we are right now shout out to Bargetown bourbon company for having us here but uh met a couple years ago we’ve been talking about doing this and now you’re a guy we do some over Zoom we ain’t doing that we got to have Standford Steve in person absolutely yeah it is the zoom world is has made things a lot e obviously as you guys it’s convenient but when you could do it in person there’s nothing better yeah we can’t have Bourbons we can’t I’m not I can’t tell how many you’ve had before on a zo on a zoom that’s a great Point first one no lie noar allow but I didn’t realize you’re a huge golf fan I mean I know you liked it but like you you’re all in on golf yeah I it’s being first of all sports center we’re like you know we’re here for a week but like the last two weeks you know I’m getting home Scott are getting home at 3:30 in the morning we got NHL we got Stanley Cup playoffs we got NBA every night we’re following one of the other so you’re inundated with that like the press conference you know the questions that are going to be asked you know golf has always been sort of away from me I haven’t been around it I I I played started playing a little bit in college and uh got to the point where I think everybody does where you start getting mad at yourself but are you going to take that next step to better yourself and that’s where I felt I was like No And then injury my wrist is absolutely shot now mangled and that affects the game but appreciation like I’ve got to see that I’ve I’ve been to the best courses in the world not name Augusta in the country um and just I think being like you know playing sports back in the day the mental aspect of golf is something I don’t think all the time can come across on TV and being able to come now that ESPN has the PGA and coming to last you know Southern Hills ill uh this I I cannot wait for but I’ve said you know golf MERS are my favorite Pro Sport to watch really that’s crazy yeah no for a football guy yeah I just it’s so different to me you know you’re on that island you don’t have anybody you know that you’re relying on to block for you or catch the pass that you throw it’s you and that that pressure uh that you bring upon yourself because you know what you have to these guys I mean how many guys do we have playing that haven’t you know we’re all waiting for them you know Xander for example trying to take that step to win a major that we know they’re good enough but it’s a lifechanging thing and you see it with these guys at the first time they win it it’s it’s I think it’s just awesome and the go you know to do it for four days yeah that that that’s what’s like nuts from me you know we’re in NBA playoffs you know a series is a series you know you’re going to get lucky once in a while golf no you got to you got to do it for 4 days straight and that whole capacity of it known as just you and you know I remember I think it was you guys maybe that had uh Dustin on after he won that Master he talking about he couldn’t he couldn’t eat anything the the morning of knowing that he was the last T tea time at austa he tried eating something I guess on the court he got too dry he had to spit it out like that’s real stuff and when you’re watching on TV I just I can’t believe what he’s feeling here and knowing the intricacies of the swing of the different shots what you want to you know where you want to be but you got to get yourself there there’s nobody else that can help you and I it just fascinates me think it’s a an it’s definitely an island I mean you think back to Scotty Sheffer when he won his first Master how he broke down was like crying before the round like I don’t know if I can handle this I I I I I still can’t believe he was that Saturday that he he saved himself on 18 yeah and that that was incredible to watch cuz he hit that tree so we we do this randomly on our Serious XM sometimes on here but a little asking for a friend segment and your man Scott veld actually submitted one because you’re talking about you’re talking about your love for golf he wants to know why do you hate everyone but you love golfers do you hate everyone you don’t strike me as a guy who hates everyone I don’t I don’t like a lot of things I do no no I’ll tell you at ESPN like I said Sports Center We are following you know last week at I think we filed the first three games of Timberwolves nuggets right and it’s like all right we’re really going to do this like people were just burying the Nuggets I’m like they’re the rain in Champions for a reason can we let him try and even the series you got to win thank you Stanford you got to win four games mind if I call you Stanford whatever you want okay there you go it’s your show um you know the Pacers just you know the referees whatever they’re going home for two games like you know hockey guys say it doesn’t start till somebody wins on you know ice I I I just you’re you’re you get beaten over the head with things so it does make me hate things a lot faster he I more said people not things it’s just a it’s just a feeling I have I think you get OD on stuff like Cole you and I we love golf we cover golf non-stop sun up to sun down virtually every single day so sometimes and we have golfers on this show and we just get golfed out like you said you know the questions that are coming you know the answers that are coming and stuff but then we get a football dude I’m like yes all right dude tell me about and they all want talk about golf it’s just like you like whatever you’re not in because I think you get OD I feel like I’m a very good people reader too so I can know if there’s BS behind it and more than not obviously not you agreed to do the show how are we ranking so far on the BS scale excellent a little background checks you get checked all the boxes you’re good before we get to football because we we do want to talk game day and all that let’s let’s stay on the golf because this is going to come out the week after the PJ Championship we are here right now so we’re aboutall I know you’re out there walking thef course today talking to some of the guys you like to gamble a little bit give me give me some guys you like and maybe some guys you might fade well here’s here’s the one question I always ask Scott he’s done this for so long and he says it’s the hardest thing is when you’re walking with a guy Monday and Tuesday and he’s lighting it up like you’re going to feel really good about that guy but you have such recency bias you can’t get out of your head and Monday we walked with Dustin Brooks and uh Gary Woodland and not being an avid fan of the Liv tour I haven’t seen Brooks and he looked absolutely phenomenal I mean it putting whatever off the te and I think the key here is is off the te if if you’re not if you’re not accurate off the te which is the case a lot of places but this even more so because the fairways are I think pretty big on the front and you got to be accurate off the te and I thought Brooks had every shot um you know we’re were saying you got to be able to move the ball I mean it’s a big boy it’s a big ballpark you got to be able to move the ball and you know Brooks with success that he’s had I do like him I like uh morawa uh just because I I think he’s he’s getting better we to saw him take the step back after winning the majors it feels like he got he was in the contention at Augusta uh a couple weeks ago he was in it um I like his consistency with the irons because if you I think there’s going to be those shots are you going to go you know your lower Woods or you going to go with your high irons you know and I I think Colin has has great ability in that facet and I like the way it sets up for him forget who you think is going to win this week cuz it’s going to come out after the PJ who do you like who are your boys like have you had any guys on the show have you gotten to know any of the dudes who are the guys you like to watch well I I don’t think it’s I think the one seed overall in golf is maxom yeah I don’t there’s I mean he might be like he’s getting close to unanimous I think in terms of I think it’s overwhelming uh of of what he does um in every facet and how good he is uh you know saw him take the J javet Scotty talking about Dad back uh he doesn’t know about that yet know about it real so I I think Max is is the top I I I always bust him in cins uh balls just because Cal guys and I first time we had Max on I had Scott ask him I’m like did you go to Cal because you couldn’t get into Stanford yes that’s the answer that’s the joke went s went to TCU because he could get in it’s the Stanford of Texas so that’s I I put those guys up there um talking to uh Brooks and walking with just an enormous sports fan uh you know we’re talking Panthers and Bruins I I just just down to earth you know I put those guys up there and I I think uh there’s a likability Scotty I think has done a good job of shedding all the questions and just being you know right down the middle with everything I mean you saw him deflecting the stuff about the child in Augusta and now he finally has it and I don’t know what he’s going to say now he’s got hopefully he’s been coming up with something to just brush off those comments but he’s just so chill like he just he shows up he whips your ass and he leaves yeah there ain’t no sow nothing he’s just like yeah and then I’m going to go home and I’m go to Chipotle I’m just going to be a normal dude I’m come back next week I’m gonna beat your ass again uh the Georgia guys I think are great Harris English um there’s a shitload of them cashmir Keith yeah um and Harmon I mean he brought I was there at the Old Miss game this year he brought the uh The Jug out there uh it was awesome awesome I mean step out of it I did not he was with his family didn’t want to bother those Georgia guys too all the guys you mentioned throw kids in the like they’re like real football fans they’re not like the C like oh they can name their quarterback like they’re like our defensive coordinator sucks and we need to we have more weak side Blitz like I was on the Range and Mitchell’s like Hey we’re already playing and George’s playing at Austin this year and the next day is the F1 race oh my I don’t that Georgia guy they’re built for it though I will say they’re they’re built for that that’s a marathon of a weekend you mentioned earlier before talking out there Athens Athens is a is a place they’re every one of them has and it’s my goal to get to all of them I have not been to what are I’m talking SEC so we’re at in Texas Oklahoma been there we have not I been I haven’t been to Nashville game yet I have I don’t been to Nashville though it’s it’s its own entity we know that um

ones yeah yeah yeah yeah not on the tour that I am on now you usually go to the good ones multiple times a year so I’m totally spoiled in that aspect I’ll tell you a quick Athens story we’re playing on the corn fairy tour down there I’d never been there before I went to school in Dallas it’s not a college town Dallas is just expensive as [ __ ] everywhere you go we got on a Tuesday night this is back in my single days Natalie don’t get mad at me um we had there was five of us I need I said I need five beers five shots and send five shots to those girls over there they said okay they’ll be $28 I go excuse me I’m paying for all of it they go $28 I’m like here’s 100 keep them coming I was like this place is amazing that’s that’s that’s the good and bad thing about the college towns like this year with my schedule doing Scott show Thursday nights I was flying in first thing Friday morning I I didn’t see 8:30 p.m. on a Friday night one college football weekend this because game day is such an I mean we’re out in Seattle you know we’re out in Salt Lake we’re you know hours ahead I I think Seattle I had a 3:30 wakeup call yeah you know this this year so I’ve graduated away from the Friday night a lot of places it’s ladies night yeah like that’s we’re here for Sunday Saturday ball and uh that’s we got to keep the eyes on the prize on Saturdays all right before we get back to Stanford

back to Stanford Steve how’s it been going to game day I mean that as a college football guy I’m the I’m it’s my favorite sport in the world I love it more than but that’s got to be like the Pinnacle you I’m sure you grew up watching it and you’re there and you got you know herb Street and corso and all the boys mcafe recently added but growing up yeah no and you say growing up you know I I played at Stanford from 96 to 2000 and that’s when the show started and like it was a it was a line I mean we’re we’re getting out show starts at 9:00 a.m. out west you know breakfast is a line because everybody wants to get back to the room to see if the show see if we possibly could be on the show uh you know so going back that’s how we that’s how we I grew up you know playing you watch game day you know we’re usually playing you know the night games out W which are the longest days in your life and you need something in the morning to get you going and the energy that show provides um I I if you haven’t been to it it’s it’s like no other I did for years I did the game day radio show and we most of the time travel with there and we would start at noon and go till 7 o’cl at night but you would go over early to to feel it man I mean it’s real the the energy of a college campus is like no other and for Big Time games which we are fortunate enough to go to so many of the weeks it it it’s hard I mean you guys have been all over the place it’s you get spoiled and it’s hard for you hear about all these places and when you go there it’s like all right is this going to meet the expectations that people have put on feels like it’s a whole thing in this world now right exceeding expectations it’s hard to do and every week uh the energy most fun I’ve ever had in my life being at a different campus every Saturday and I again to feel it and you’re walking on that stage and you’re getting ready we got a DJ now that’s getting the crowd amped and in the The First Time places I mean James Madison this year they had over 35,000 people there like the quad could barely even I’m like who measures that yeah is there somebody the first time places if you’re at school like a JMU that’s never had that and then all of a sudden they come like that’s the whole campus shows up and that’s what it’s about it’s it’s great that we do that and I think the people realize that and like I said the ENT I mean we get up there MCA we’re doing a on the a segment on the side set and then and Tios and uh Jack I mean people are just throwing like guys we’re trying to do a TV show can’t can’t drink at 9:15 in the morning here we’re trying to do three hours here afterwards yes we will come enjoy ourselves but let us just do our show first so it it does get out of hand sometimes uh a lot of time I mean I remember going out to Eugene back in the day when they started getting it going we started out doing at the stadium but then we moved at the campus um and literally if you’ve been to Eugene Taylor was the place to be and then all like the food and hot dog trucks the bars would close at like 3:00 the trucks would come they’d stay and eat till from 3 five we come on at 6 then they usually had a night game they would come do the whole game day go back nap and then auson would be absolutely rocking and to see those kids do that was like you never see that um and and knowing how many times we’ve been there but the they they know how to bring it and like I said the energy of Youth you know as we get older I still appreciate and and you still feed off it it’s awesome it’s it’s the best show I mean my wife is not the biggest sports fan in the world but ever since McAfee started doing the field goal kicking challenge with some some random people she’s like what time is that on I want to watch that first how did that start and I mean by the way smok in some dudes can’t even get it off the ground they pull hook it right into the crowd it’s hilarious some people start their mornings earlier than others and we’ve had a couple of those but the idea the vision cuz I stand underneath the goal post the so I see I mean I got to we got to walk through all the I mean we were at Salt Lake this year I don’t know if you’ve been to that campus but on the main quad we were down the set was down so we had to go up and I never realized how many people were there like it just kept going you couldn’t see it cuz we were down and the crowd’s all up but then walk through that where the goalpost was set up and the way we do it where it’s cornered it’s tight you know they make the the people stand closer than the goalposts are so the goalposts are wider but you’re just looking trying to look through these people I can’t imagine the first time I mean kids are you could feel they’re nervous then Pat starts doing his Spiel and he’s going to get it in your head I mean as a kicker he knows how to do that I should say as a punter and a kicker um but he knows how to pull the strings and and get inside that head and I think a lot of people are defeated before they how do you pick the dude that does it cuz like how what’s to say like a soccer player just we have a raffle so the so we call it the pit the first uh I forget how many people but the first cave we have all the bike racks in front of the set so whoever the probably first 200 kids there’s all raffle T so they grab one after the first break we call it hey you’re going to be kicking a field goal don’t think you can practice or yeah I was going to say you can stretch but you’re not getting any practice uh and then you know we build it up and I think we’ve started doing it at the top of the 11:00 a.m. eastern hour which has been an absolute home run it’s you feel it everywhere and uh you know then you get to campus Friday it’s like I’m going to be the kick and then you start you know we leave the set Friday in the afternoon and the line starts and it’s it’s awesome it’s yeah it’s it’s brought a whole new Dynamic and it it’s it’s fun man maybe the not the Highlight But like everyone like he said his wife looks forward to that you know what I mean how Street has a holder any complaints on the holds no compl no complaints he’s he’s he did it when he was younger so he knows what he’s doing there he doesn’t mind throwing a couple Jabs at the person too he wants to see Pat lose the money so he’s rooting for for but he also can I remember a couple times he’s like I’ll throw in this money again and then they’re like one more kick and he’s like no no you Chance by the way Salt Lake is where Pat had his shirt off and I believe was talking about soaking on game day yeah that’s that was on Friday and Saturday that was a special one yeah what’s he what’s he like in person exactly what you think exactly what you think that switches on again his energy meeting him for the first time it was like okay we we’re here we’re in it uh as hardworking dude as I’ve been around puts his time in he plays it off very well but he does his homework and uh you’re not going to get anything by him um but his his way about going things is what makes him and that’s just a tribute to him I think just the way he goes about it uh nobody he’s he’s him and he brings it the way he does and it’s it’s awesome to be around it it it’s really contagious to what what he brings to the table like in my opinion I mean he’s he’s one of the best in the business but he is he is changing how Sports media is nowadays because he’s loose somewhat unfiltered and like shows that it’s okay to have fun which is what we need I mean like it’s a show let’s let’s entertain and your man Scott velt I mean same way I’ve had a chance to work a couple golf tournaments with him when I’ve done ESPN stuff and he’s just he’s the best man they make it fun and that’s what it’s supposed to be that that exactly right and that’s that’s what we try and do I mean if I’m in my car or something whatever people have their music like I just want to laugh yeah like make me laugh let’s have some fun make me enjoyable uh you know with with all the you know terrible stuff that’s going on when we could control things and have what you want and you have a preference make me laugh and we’re good yeah with all the debate shows that get into some of these serious topics like dude I watch sports to get away from all the trash why don’t you give me something other than this I just want to laugh you know let a n say or no you know what I mean that was good me happened first time you met Scott Van Pelt in first impression O Okay so nice I am a pa in radio it’s about 2006 and I’m working a night show on the radio side so radio is like on one side of the of the building and then the TV anchors are prepping for late Sports Center like down a hallway and they’re like uh Duke was playing Maryland that night and they’re like why don’t you go see a vamp pel I’m like Scott Vel they’re like yeah go see it Phil usually stops in he’ll pop in in the radio on his walk over to Sports Center I’m like all right so I go over I see him he’s at a desk never met before and he’s typing away doing his you know his he types everything he does he he writes he doesn’t have anybody write anything for him he does his own stuff and he’s he’s sitting there and I’m like Scott uh Steve from Radio was wondering if you wanted to come on after Maryland uh Duke game tonight to provide some thoughts and he just looks up at me he’s like the game’s in Cameron and Duke’s going to blow him out coach K’s going to get every call Mar is going to lose why do you want me to come on the show I’m like that’s a true fan all right uh maybe next time Maryland won oh yes what year was that he didn’t come on uh I want to say 06 0 I think JJ no JJ that was like Juan Dixon no it was after them it was after them but yeah they won and I don’t know when it was after that I said remember that time he’s like yeah sorry about that I was uh I was sort a feeling I hate that place I hate I hate I hate that place and I’m a Duke fan discard so that’s been our Crux yeah for God so how did it blossom into the point from that inter interaction to the Game Day game day radio show that I did Ryan rillo was the host and then Ryan and Scott started to do a radio show together so that was a great show Ryan and I would go to all the game day spots but do the radio show you know so we would leave on Thursday he would do SVP show Friday from site we would do Saturday game day rate we were together more than married couples like we Thursday to Sunday back in the studio he would be prepping for a show on Monday I would go to the MonDay meeting for game day looking ahead to the following Saturday I would come in there to share my thoughts and then Scott and I just started talking hey how was this place how was this place and it was probably around 2010 because he asked me about Andrew Luck and I said from what I gather he is the real this is his freshman year he’s the real deal and he’s going to be as good as anybody we’ve ever had had and he’s like really he’s like I’m going to have to see about that for myself and then the first text I ever got from him was when they beat um USC in the Coliseum put 55 on them What’s your deal Harbaugh and P Carroll at Midfield I got a text from a 407 number it was Scott saying you were right so ever since then that that sort of blossomed into it and then I took over producing SCP and rillo show for about a year and a half and then Scott uh was approached about doing his own sports center he said you’re coming with me I’m like I’ve never done TV he’s like don’t worry about it we’ll figure it out we’re doing bad beats we’re in and there we are years later we got to ask about bad beats because where did it come from it’s the greatest segment being on the west coast it’s awesome because y’all are on at 1: in the morning it’s 10: out west so I’m just getting ready to go to bed and I have to stay awake for bad beats but how did that segment start first of all it’s awesome when we go out west because I feel like we have way more because it’s prime time out there you know when we were doing midnight it’s 9:00 out there the games are over you guys are spoiled as hell out there all the games are over and you turn on for a recap and you watch Scott um no bad we actually tried doing it on radio but you just couldn’t provide the visual you know like we had hey you know Louisiana Tech was getting 14 and they were up seven there’s 2 minutes left and cuz Scott and I usually had the bad side and that’s why we wanted to bring it up but when he decided to do this show he said said we’re doing bad beats it’s all it was his idea from the start he wanted me up there and I just think for anybody that’s dabbled and in gambling and watched the game you’ve always you everyone’s had one if not many and everybody can relate to it every time but to see what we’ve tried to do is go off the grid a little bit not not a ranked versus ranked team you know uh a Mac a action game um you know a sun Bel game that was maybe on ESPN plus those are are the ones I think that hit so the content and that’s where we get in trouble cuz everybody submits stuff on social media I was going to ask people just send it to you people send they an unbelievable job but we only have like 10 minutes we can’t do every single one and you know you get to a Saturday where it’s like you know I or Sunday morning I’ll board my flight from wherever I am and I’ll just I’ll check social media and I’m just like oh boy bad beats might be 21 minutes long I think you can do a full hour on it I mean no doubt and uh that’s that’s where it gets dicey and we do leave uh you know cuz we’ll get the suest the ones that we haven’t seen we’ll send them to our production crew so they could start digging on Sunday and they could be like you’re going to want to see this one you’re going to want to see this one and then the people that submit them and they we don’t show them I have to explain it’s only about 10 minutes at the like that’s the most we could go because we want to do it after Monday Night Football there’s a bunch of SP sponsor elements in there you guys know how that works and uh you know we have that window uh so that’s it’s it’s it’s created its own monster um through social media and with gambling getting more prevalent everywhere uh it’s it’s it’s it’s an absolute animal and it’s it never disappoints it’s always new it’s always fresh and I’m just very very lucky that was Scott’s idea and you want to be almost like a badge of honor I feel like when you’re on the right side of one of the bad when you’re the team that just like the next day like dude one of my bets it was on bad beats I was on the winning you know what I mean I was like I’m but you’re always on the bad side but like when you finally get one on the good side like you see that cover last night you get to be a part of two of the best segments in sports you got bad beats and then Corso putting the headgear on it’s just unbelievable I mean whenever he decides to step away that’s going to be a very sad day but I mean that’s just it’s so much fun to see the SBS make their picks and then Corso you know get them all going and everything and then put the headgear on well I want to say too this year we we started want to say coach started like seven and one and I’m like we got to mention that he’s on fire right now how bad mys were this year and I’m like good Lord I went through I had like six straight weeks of two and two I’m like uh if you’re betting with the bookie you’re losing The Vig so that’s not great um but no I mean coach was absolutely I come up to him and you know Saturday morning and he’ll just wink at you m we got one today and then he he knows he’s done it so long he knows exactly how to yeah turn turn it into them and uh it’s it’s fantastic again it lives up to it every time I don’t remember how long ago it was but the time he goes oh [ __ ] it when he threw thatou he gets away with that too like he’s he’s a made man you know what I mean a lot of people say that like and you’re done yeah with him like this is great coach by the way they need to change that rule if you have one little slip it’s no big one little slip we’re all I’m just saying that to cover my ass cuz I know at some point it’s going to happen to me so please don’t fire me pad that pad that a little bit can I tell you something I don’t feel like gets enough attention and I didn’t know about you until just recently when I kind of started digging in National High School Player of the Year in out of high school as a tight end in Connecticut yeah that ain’t easy to do Bud yeah it was uh you don’t get enough dap for your playing it was before the internet it was still newspaper newspaper World um yeah it was good run good run uh yeah I played every position in high school and that’s what made the recruiting process so fun like there’s teams coming oh I think we you could play outside linebacker I’m like I’m not could you have gone wherever you wanted yeah you picked Stanford so you’re obviously smart you’re making some good scores good for you actually I I tell this story I go on my recruiting visit it’s 1996 so you know who’s there and I’m asking my recruiting coach you know what we got I don’t know 15 recruits there so you got your tables and then you know there’s going to be a guest speaker and he’s like oh you’re at the head table with head coach and the and the speaker I’m like who’s The Speaker he’s like you got to wait and find out I’m like all right right sure enough the dinner starts speaker seat is right here right next to me empty empty side door opens tiger walks in WoW sits down I’m like holy [ __ ] Tiger Woods is right here and he literally sits down and he’s like bro so sorry I’m late my roommates just finished building a computer and I’m like oh there’s no way I’m coming here like building a computer like what the hell am I I going to do I’m worried if I’m passing my last English test I took in Connecticut and he sits down and he’s like sorry I didn’t mean to overblow he’s like I didn’t want to blow you away with the school stuff you’ll be fine whatever you know where you from Connecticut and yeah we talked um wow you met tiger on your recruiting trip that’s a good recruiting tool by the way they should utilize that more they can get tiger back pretty good and then he made his way over I think God I bet you we went if we had 15 I think like 14 committed yeah uh on that and you know uh it was it was good then the next so we got there and then he was he hung around the training room and uh and then he went he went pro that that summer before we started ball um but yeah that was that’s my Tiger Wood story and then a year later you bring tiger on your recruiting trip or you do the Jesus shuttle wor recity trip whichever want saying I mean I had more those AR happen at Stanford I had more of the Bambi experience personally but I can see where that would be a cool thing the big National recruit there’s no wayen still have like you know Scott talks to him all the time and like I haven’t had that one-on-one where I could be like hey just so you know you were you did this and uh it’ll be fun one day dud we got to make that happen one day one day it’ll happen just interrupt his warmup on Thursday go out there yeah tomorrow and like hey you remember me he’s out there today I mean you know you set me up no you know those guys I’m watching those guys today grinding out it’s raining I’m like man these guys I’m not saying a word what you we were right there spe and Homo were hitting balls they turning around talking we’re having a good time yeah me and you not them oh no tomorrow we’re going to make this happen we’re going to go up Tire I feel like for a guy like you not like a quote unquote golf guy like he’d be into that and you’re Stanford guy too but if it was he is a sport nut so he probably watches and he doesn’t sleep so he probably watches every one of Y sport probably want some tips on yeah some plays him Scott had be very funny back and forth uh that’s where Scott like kind of launched his deal like with that Butler cabin wasn’t it like my favorite thing about that he remed true Scott cuz usually he’ll take off some time in the summer in the esps are that and he’s his claim is the only time he’s ever been in the esps was not for work he went as Tiger’s guest in 2001 I believe I thought he lik blonds no no that wasn’t it he likes a lot of different things but that interiew that interview he did Scott tells it awesome he was sitting there and I guess Steinberg’s like hey you got this much time and he’s like I could tell tiger having funny he’s like I’m just going to go until they make me get up out of this chair that was really cool yeah that was it that was it for sure and now look at him yeah but we are definitely the races we’re going to make we’re going to go to the range together tomorrow when Tiger’s there we’re I think you go shout him out I think he would be that’s not even [ __ ] I actually think that’s real yeah I think he start walking I’m walking the other way no you’re we’re doing it el el hey hold on real quick Get Off The Track should we get to the E9 yes cuz I think we’re going to have some good ones with this oh boy E9 okay we ask this to everyone we’re going to ask you you can be anyone else for a Day dead or alive who would it be just one day don’t say Scott Vel no I think we mentioned him before when we were talking off air who Ryan Reynolds Oh Ryan oh wow okay yeah he’s got probably a lot of good days you know can’t close his wallet yeah no yeah he’s like sneaky I think approach approaching a be yeah by the way like he’s involved in tons of [ __ ] you know yeah that’s that’s the answer that’s a good one okay can I ask you one more real quick we used to ask this before um movie about your life who would play you oh I get the guy from The Shield a lot I don’t know what that is I know who it is Stephen yeah I know exactly who it is like from a lookas chicklas chickless from a look like yeah but like in terms of Personality it’s better than uh uh Steve guy that used to do uh Springer oh yeah Springer get that a lot we asked Gary Woodland who would play him in a movie and he said Denzel most of our people like your [ __ ] was pretty realistic most of our people this is like Fantasy Land [ __ ] you got to be you know what I mean Tim aon’s like Matt Damon I’m like okay okay Tim what are your GRS okay no mine’s Jamie Fox okay which is pretty easy which is obvious obviously you’d pick that too I mean I’ve never actually answered this myself but I know Gary I think said Chris Farley okay who’s by the way peace leg you got to bulk up you’re going to have to gain some energy and gain some I can do the energy can you do fat guy little cat CH oh boy I’m out on that see that’s where I do get a little embarrassed when it comes to that stuff that’s tough that’s tough he wasn’t afraid all right I think mine are all football basically um I’m going to go somewhat recent since the year 2000 okay okay give me the best college football team ever or best college football team single team one year who is it since 2 probably all0 one Miami oh wow way back that was the squad that was like um look at that roster dorsy that was it that team Dy he was probably the worst player M he the defense had like like nine dudes on the defense just go through it it’s unbelievable okay that was Sean Taylor didn’t even I don’t even think he started yeah Ray wow Ed Reed no yeah Ed re Sean it’s shocky yeah Jeremy Shocky it’s load there’s some dogs I’m going actually you want golf one even though I know you don’t play anymore a RIS but give me your low round ever and where oh god um probably 84 at uh grassy Hill Country Club in Milford Connecticut if you and Scott play who comes out ahead oh Scott was can he play I’ve never seen himf he he won’t here’s the thing his probably his favorite thing is to go to his place and hit balls that’s that’s what he wants to that’s the sanctuary that’s yeah that’s he he get it I mean he’ll go play if if friends are are are in town he’ll he’ll gather them and and go play but he I don’t think he likes The Angst of playing um I like he doesn’t get a lot of time by himself yeah and that like you said his Sanctuary is going his spot and hitting Balls by himself no phone just get away I would guess I would guess he’s around a nine or a 10 okay as a tall dude both tall dud gol gets he knows like he’s always talking to people about his swing in the game like yesterday you know we’re walking and he’s asking questions I could tell things are churning that he’s trying to do um but I I I would definitely give him say nine okay yeah golf background makes sense yeah he knows what he’s doing yeah he’s way smarter than he wants to be perceived that’s Fant respect I like that um all right Tom Brady roast we mentioned it just happened if you get to pick any on a talent at ESPN they get roasted y’ all get to roast them who do you want o all the other on air Talent gets to take shots and Nikki Glazer because she’s awesome and we’ll bring Nikki in and probably a few others bring Tony in um Booger McFarland oh man I actually met him a couple years ago Phoenix Open what a great dude booger is the best booger mobile yeah there’s a lot to go with there he’d handle it too he’s a big big golf golf guys yeah big golf fan but that would that would be the most fun okay that would be the most fun get ready Bud take that up the ladder that could happen I could do some numbers we still need people working yeah Val are great with that have to loosen up the HR department a little bit I mean I don’t care how I don’t care how thick your skin is like I mean that’s stuff with Tom the other night it was funny but it’s like boy I mean the X life stuff like that shit’s you see Beckham like texted him after like hey dude you doing okay yeah like yeah I made $10 million was say I’m doing I landed on a pillow full of trillions so I’m fine yeah still tough though no doubt but it’s funny hey it’s okay to laugh just little jokes okay mentioned bad beats earlier yeah favorite bad beat off the top of your head oh man so um I’ll give you one I bet I’m trying to think what the odds were because it was bad I bet tiger and miss the cut the gusta in 19 how’d that work out by the way when we talk to him tomorrow I’m bringing that up as well but I have a sick thing in my head I’ll bet against things I want to see happen so if they happen it’s that win-win situation I do I do that like I’ll bet against I’ll bet against Stanford if they lose I win money yeah if they win I get the joy of win I’ll I’ll do that but that was an alltime I think it was like minus 500 and I’m like wow that’s uh it’s pretty bad by the way I might have added a zero to and it was really bad yeah I think that’s what happened since he won the tournament you should have lost like quadruple yeah exactly yeah there should be a little dis make him Mr it’s funny cuz I got caught in this thing uh it was like US Open the year before and a bunch of guys it was like plus 500 plus 400 for these guys to miss and a bunch of them missed and I hit them all so I was like this is pretty fun well I think that Tigers played Augusta more than anybody in the world make it I mean he made it this year hard conditions ever dragging his leg around and he W it on top yeah that’s that that’s my worst beat CU it was the dumbest thing ever I that’s like a bad beat like unlucky just rough call you know um what’s another one God there’s good ones I had Seattle in the Super Bowl when Russell threw the pick uh I had a bet with Phil and Keegan on that and that one stung to pay because also they talk [ __ ] the whole time about I was like really maybe not for one second did they think the ball to Maron Lynch he’s pretty good or just don’t throw a pick yeah don’t do that I don’t have a problem throwing a ball just don’t throw an interception yeah that was your quarterback for a year s two years what’s that that was your quarterback for you got B next Jersey uh oh boy he is not happy about this yeah don’t get me going on this bud I’m I would love to be wrong I was like who was I talking to oh Austin Kaiser Xander SC he’s a huge Bronco fan as well I would love to be wrong on this I think it’s a enormous whiff going into that draft I said literally anyone any of these quarterbacks but Bo if he’s available and they’re all the rest of them are gone go somewhere else take that edge guy from bammer or whoever I hope I’m wrong I think it’s the most cocky pick ever by a head coach he he apparently loved it Sean knows what he’s doing he’s got Drew Brees right he’s got all that but then he brought when he was in New Orleans I’m like wow going to throw Pat they were going Nixon mes I think we have have you heard the story about the one in New Orleans yeah so how sean or how Drew showed up in the draft room he’s

wanted to show love to you know the small guys and it was awesome you know uh you know you get you get people from Montana checking in it’s like and then Idaho comes it’s like it’s awesome and it it’s just you know we have three hours and normally we’re going to talk about the biggest games like I I want to you know we’re paying attention I I love all the small ball you know grew up in Connecticut going to ncat games and division 3 football and going to Yale um so it’s it’s my way of just showing that uh I appreciate everybody and they there’s great ball all over and everybody’s working their

Omaha every year all right give me your favorite game day celebrity guest picker Oh I thought you were G to say let’s all do one this is a good question for everyone I was a huge fan while you’re thinking just recently just came to head cuz I’m a huge country music guy Luke Colmes at blash and state was awesome Luke was up there yeah can he’s awesome well you think the dude from The Hangover the Asian dude always talks about his hoe my ho name yeah I love two things like Duke football and my ho some [ __ ] like that relax ESP relax some good on we’ve had Harris English on here and he got to do it after the rider cup down in a I was like dude that’s like bucket I mean that’s yeah I think he said he said he was more nervous for that than like the ACT you see you see some people I mean they s they they come up with their little sheet yeah and then like you see them when they grab it and they’re and they’re I mean that’s mecca for cuz cuz it’s a like you gotta make sure I mean more than not they’re not college football fans so it’s like all right I got to make sure I got this team right you know like they’ll like try to have a nugget about it um the Rocks entourage is something than that people need to it’s it’s incredible Colorado this year it’s incredible um that that spectacle is just something that um I haven’t seen But favorite how deep is the Rocks Entourage how many we talking oh close to 20 SUVs oh my God that’s a lot yeah who are these people he doesn’t need much security chance to introduce myself to maybe next time shake some hands shake some hands next time 20 SUVs uh it’s pretty close yeah wow okay that’s cool um God who’s I’m just trying to think my favorite people Vince fawn’s always great yep sparkley FAL Fant Charles’s been good yeah Charles cuz he loves he he knows what he’s doing and he loves it and it’s my guy yeah he’s the man tough to beat tough to top did you ask that my turn yep all right last one for me boy the number one college campus game day experience Louisiana wow that’s valid think about it for I don’t care what anyone says it’s not even close night game they’re in their own tier yes yeah that’s one place I would you have no affinity for LSU or anything but I just want to I want to see it it’s that good like we talk about exceeding expectations I God I my first one was sabin’s first game back 08 and were they pretty reasonable were the fans pretty I was in the I was taking a cab we took cabs back then there was right right I’ve heard of those and uh the C driver was like I don’t I don’t even know what the big deal is uh Mike the Tigers House cost more than Coach sabin’s House did when he was here I’m like that’s why the tiger is more spoiled than anybody in that City but yeah bat Saturday night in Baton Rouge forget it that was quick that’s awesome that was it’s I I put it in its own pound-for-pound the greatest when they play G Brooks combat goes and there’s some good ones too dude there’s some good that but that was wait till they play neck oh God it’s awesome they they played in the dome too last one it’s little would you rather oh boy okay I like these would you rather be the manager of Scott Van pelt’s schedule or his six-year-old son Charlie’s uh Charlie why um that was from Scott by the way yeah I could tell what’s Charlie got going on Charlie minute for minute might be funnier really at six years old the kid is incredible incredible incredible CVP on his way up yeah make room he is a bucket of fun and a handful and I’ll go with Charlie he said I know the answer is Charlie he can just give you insight into what a mess of a human I am I don’t want to give people those details we we got to have some privacy give me over under Diet Cokes for a day Bo oh and now we’re here yeah all right so he’s on the air at 700 a.m. we’re probably getting picked up at 5 5:30 he’ll have one in the car in hand cuz he’s got one in his room he’ll drink I’m goingon to say 15 oh [ __ ] that’s John Daly territory I asked him at the PG at K I said how many he goes minimum 11 a day come to work at 7 at night we’ll go on there at 1 it’s easy 6 damn that makes me feel better about myself so when you go after it’s so good after the late night Sports Center okay what what time do you wake up uh it’s um I try try to bring my kids to school in the morning and it’s usually later but that’s fall with this with this last stretch it’s been it’s been but I’ve been i’ I’ve been setting my alarm for 10 hey hey kids grab an Uber to school I’ll see when you get can’t cuz cuz the worst thing I mean you guys do we got crazy schedules when you wake where I’m old enough now where I get up I can’t fall back to sleep yeah if you wake up it’s getting to the point two yeah you’re awake now if I have a little window later in the afternoon for a 2hour nap we’re hitting that pillow no doubt well dude this before we let you go real quick just give us the let’s see how good you are since going to be next week the winner of the PJ Championship Brook ska okay there you have it there it is Stanford Steve that was a blast man apprciate you my man thank you so much you guys are awesome all right that was the one and only Stanford Steve joining us on subpar what a beauty that is how about him being one of the biggest recruits in the country and getting to sit next to Tiger Woods as he’s the he’s the guest of honor that night on his recruiting trip to Stanford I’d never heard that story and also now I’m wondering like why doesn’t why don’t they trop tiger out there every single time they want to sign somebody bring in Five Star Quarterback whatever hey we’re going to need you we need if you want a good football program and you want something to root for uh we’re going to need you to show up then like every kid committed which of course that him him betting on tiger to miss the cut at the 2019 Masters was just beautiful goes on to win I still think you should have to pay like quadruple if that happens and then the game Day stories you and I both love game day we got to make a trip to LSU with him I mean he along with numerous other people that I know that like cover football for a living it it’s I don’t want to say it’s unanimous there’s some other good out there too but like LSU night game like that’s it I don’t care about LSU I don’t hate them or like them but I want to go to a game Valley ESPN has the SEC as he was saying so they’re going to have a lot more control over that so I think they’ll be doing some night trips to Baton rou yep and he and Scot Vel do so good the bad like what you said the bad beats segment one of the best segments getting up there with Johnson Wagner by the way who haven’t even shouted out for going out there and just making a complete mockery of himself which is by the way is the with Johnson all week I was like you don’t even know he’s like dude I’m so embarrassed all stuff I was like you don’t know how many people are falling in love with you because you are going through what everyone else is going through out there dude the ones I mean I watched it 17 times the one where he went down on what four where Xander drove it and he flicked it up to like a foot and he’s like okay here’s what you’re going to do and he hits the one he’s like oh God and then the next one he grabs another club oh oh je there’s the skull and then he gra all right let’s go to the back pit grabs another one and I’m done it’s just [ __ ] rewind 17 because I mean like even on 15 so I ran to him at the bar over at the hotel and this was this was Friday night and I saw the one on Thursday where he had said I got the Chip And Yips okay well Friday night I hadn’t seen the postgame show I had seen live from I go dude I was dying at the chip and Y last he goes wait till you see tonight he goes I hit a toe shake and a heel shake the first one in his defense like from the hay I’m like yeah dude what is this is going to go nowhere or it’s going to go a mile the second one though we was like all right now we got a good line let me show you how say h it’s with a lot of speed just the knee action the ball I have this still shot of it just exiting screen right [ __ ] you I just send it to him I was like this is Art dude it was I I laugh at it so much more than I should but I find it to be just the and the whole world by the way dude you watch that show you watch live from afterwards you’re like all right when are we get go go to Johnson and I’m watching the coverage and I’m like that’s the one they should make him hit that one that long bunker shot there do that like you know like they need to at least they gave him a full shot the last day and it’s live from so shout out to him for doing it live cuz could drop a couple and be like okay let’s just not make a total ass of myself but nope no warm up here no warm up this is the first time I think he’s had his own clubs too by the way like at TPC at Saw Grass when he was foot was slipping hitting in it’s literally every shot he’s hitting that thing has been like best case scenario he’s going to end up hitting a good one here pretty soon so we got to enjoy this while we got it but if you’re battling chipping yips zero warm-up National TV live not the spot where you fix them we were on it’s good though on Saturday with with Scotty’s no no it was Sunday yeah it was it was the final round on number four Victor drove it down there in the first cut and then Trevor’s like what’s he got I was like I know Johnson Wagner wishes that his ball the other night would have been in the first cut I mean you just it hey we’re laughing with you exactly I was like dude I I Tex I was like it is there’s nothing you could be doing that’s better like for your brand if you want to call that then what you’re doing right now it is and he and he owns it he just laughs it off it’s [ __ ] shout out to Stanford Steve and Bargetown bourbon y’all were awes awesome really appreciate everything y’all did for us I hadn’t had that much bourbon full disclosure in quite some time I had more BB my stomach was on fire for two days D I was like Bowser and [ __ ] Koopa just spitting those things out by the way I decided a good place to go right after that would be to another Tasting Room to have some supper and I was like dude I got to be done have some supper I got to be done I had a

well we did give you Xander chafl as as a winner of the PGA last week let’s keep it rolling the Charles Schwab challenge aka the house that SLE built me and Hogan that’s what they say I don’t really like to bring it up but that’s just the narrative down in funky town and I go with it all right we got it humbly humbly I accept we got a newly redesigned I’m actually very excited to see it I’ve been talking to some members down there uh what a turnaround by the way they did that thing quick finally want to get some firm greens some bouncy greens which is the way this place is the best all right well my favorite he’s a dog 35 to w i we have him on all of our shows all the time he’s just fantastic one of the best golf swings had it going last week at the PGA give me Harris English 35 to one when you said dog I was like are we going to be on the same same one three weeks in a row but yeah shout out to us this is a stay hot I’m going with another dog too 40 to one he’s been on two monster golf courses the last two weeks with quail and then Valla it’s not really his game he hits it long enough but he’s not one of the dudes flying it out there 310 plus get him back in the comfort zone give him some firm bouncy greens hitting Fairways becomes an advantage again Brian Harman 40 to1 let’s go all right well I’m just going to stick with the dogs okay because my man has been on a roll until this last week at the PGA it was a big boy Golf Course for him length was a huge Advantage this guy’s not the longest hitter in the world I think Colonial should set up perfect form 50 to1 sep straa love sep just a simple action simple action for the big fella all right I’m going to go I’m breaking the dog streak going with the cowboy here played late on on Sunday played late this weekend at the PJ Championship going off at 60 to1 incredible iron player very straight driver of the golfball putter eh here and there but it should set up perfectly for him uh if that Golf Course is firm and fast give me Austin e root I love that he is so solid and not scared of the moment and I’m going to give him a lot of credit because last year when we started the CBS walking talks one person recorded over par on a hole it was Austin NE who made double okay only person p Championship major going down 15 on Saturday we asked him do it again didn’t hesitate birdie what a bounce back what I’m talking about I was watching that I think Nance brought he’s like dude only dude he made dub and I was like damn only not I was like dude it because it’s different when dudes are playing with that thing in their ear you got to talk through it all it’s like no one else no [ __ ] up a hole just Austin we don’t pick the hardest just he’s great back with a birdie shout out to him but man that was a lot of fun this week once again congratulations to Xander I’m picking up his first major Austin Kaiser shout out Austin for both guests we have two majors this week that’s it stacking them up but that was a that was fun to watch all right thanks for listening we’ll talk to you on next week’s subpar [Music]

Lol. Max Homa. He's boring
Great episode guys. Agree with the prologue talk, esp Bryson stuff. And Stanford Steve was an awesome get. Love “bad beats.”
Bryson is smarter than all of us put together.
Colt if you truly pray 🙏. Pray for the strength of less cheeseburgers 😂
Cops for the most part are criminals . Sad but true . Cop with camera off these days . He is the criminal.
