as well too about the expansion of the NFL. Do
Sundays even matter. We'll have another discussion about the PGA Championship.
You know, we drew names out of a hat. It
felt like the fix was in, but apparently somebody's got
a legitimate argument to being late or were they on time? Plus,

Frenzy on the show. We've got another edition of Wheel

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Sticks? What up?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Sticks?
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Hi guys? So can I give you guys? And I
don't want to be too over dramatic with this, but
can I give you just a general thought that I
was that I had on the NFL schedule release. Okay,
all right, because I know you guys want to go
down and do wins and losses for each team. If
that's the case, let me know. I'm gonna run to
(02:28):
the liquor store. I refuse to be a part of that.
But there's a lot of people that will do that.
That's all. That's fine. But I look at the NFL
schedule and I see all the primetime games, the international games,
I see the Thanksgiving, Christmas all of that, and I
just think to myself, how far are we away from
(02:52):
Sunday becoming an afterthought for the NFL? Because it doesn't
feel like that's really the priority anyway. Because we had
a lot of conversations last year where we would be
looking at the slate of Sunday games, whether it was
the morning window or the late window, and we talked
about it on the show. Brady and I would walkie
talking to each other back and forth, like these games
(03:13):
are awful, and it feels like there's been such a
premium to put the best matchups and the best games
in those Netflix windows, Holiday windows, Monday Night Football, Thursday
Night that I start to wonder, is Sunday really the
most important day for the NFL anymore, or is it. Hey,
whatever's going to get us the most new eyeballs, that's
(03:36):
what we're going to try and do. It feels like
that part of the NFL is changing in front of
our very eyes.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
I guess out of an effort to try to generate
more revenue and get greater viewership. Like, if you think
about it, the really only way you can try to
keep pushing to get more and more for the product
you currently already have have you have to find a
way to get more viewership.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
That's how you charge more in advertising dollars.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
That's how you can claim, hey, we've got more of
these primetime spots for you.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
And that's ultimately where I think.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
The NFL has to be looking with changing some of
the days that they're having these games and the time slots,
and then not having quite as you know, as many
games on Sundays so people can watch. I think what
we've seen from fantasy, what we've seen from gambling, everything else,
what it's done is it's made people who are fans
of the sport fans of all of it, Like, you'll
(04:34):
watch all of it because you've got either fantasy guys
on the team, a bet on the team, it might
affect something else in that regard.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
I just I look at it and say, I get it.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
I think it makes sense from a player safety and
health standpoint by being able to adjust the schedules so
instead of a.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Hey, they played on Sunday, they got to turn around
to play Thursday.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
If you can figure out a way of manipulating that
so they can have a little greater rest in whatever
fashion they're trying to do. So, I think it can
make some sense, So I'm not surprised by it. And frankly,
I think having a bunch of games on at the
same time for a league that's you know, sometimes has
(05:18):
sixteen games on at once kind of stinks. Like I
like spreading it out, be able to watch each individual one.
I think, you know, last night was a moment where
I'm like, all right, what are we going on for?
You know, the playoffs right now?
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (05:30):
No, NBA, okay, nothing else, right, Golf's already over a right,
we got hockey. But you know, a Canadian team I
could care less to watch. So you know, I'm rooting
for the Buffalo Sabers, even though that's you know, they're
not winning, So I just I look at say I
think I can understand it.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I don't mind it.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
I am curious to see, though, what days they try
to infiltrate, because Friday and Saturday, to me, if you're
a football purist are high school and college football, stay
off them.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Take any other day of the week, just stay off
those two days.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I don't really care.
Speaker 7 (06:03):
Honestly, I think I think that I think the schedule
is shut up.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I just I don't know. I just it didn't move me.
It doesn't move me.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
I jump I jumped on it to look at it,
like okay, schedule release. I mean, I think I look
at it from the standpoint of who has a chance
of having success in the regular season? You know, all
these these other elements that are at play. I told
(06:39):
you I'm I'm I'm the type of guy. Sometimes I
feel like less is more and and and it seems
as though the approach is more as less now.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I guess which. I guess it's more as more now.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (06:55):
I just you know, I didn't I didn't feel like
it made me. It didn't invoke any emotions. Like I
looked at it. It's like I's a schedule release, you know,
you see who the teams are are going to play
and who's matching up and when they're matching up. But
as far as seeing like again, I made it very
clear the international part of it, I don't understand. And
(07:20):
I get going away from traditional approaches so that you
can expand the game and all, but I don't know.
I find myself asking myself the question is it good
to try to expand what you have have created?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Is it?
Speaker 7 (07:40):
Is it a good thing? Is it a good thing
to try to create all of these different elements? And Okay,
there's more days so you can see more games, and
you know it, is it a good thing? Like I
just I don't know. Maybe as a I'm getting old
and maybe my age is starting to show, but I
just feel like it's not simple any more. It doesn't
(08:02):
seem I don't know, I don't have I don't care
about it being abroad.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Am I wrong for that?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Like I don't care about them trying to agree. I
totally agree, And I think what you're what you're getting
at is was my thought as well too. Is are
we sure that we've maximized every aspect of this country
to the point where we need to now go take
it globally because there's nothing else for us to draw
from here. Like if we've done everything that we possibly
(08:33):
can to generate interest in this country to where we've
got to send all these games overseas, Like what's.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
The infatuation with it? Like why are why are we so?
Speaker 7 (08:43):
Why is the NFL so infactuated with getting into that market?
I'm just I mean, is there a clear answer on that?
Like even if you've maxed out in America, even if
you have get that that you know you want to
make more money, Like I get that, But sometimes isn't
(09:07):
it Isn't it about maybe the product being the best
that it can be and maintaining the margins that you have,
Like it is it horrible to say? Is sometimes it
okay to say enough is enough? Like you've won your
America's game, people consume it like you don't have to
(09:29):
be as big as soccer. You will never be as
big as soccer. It just won't happen. So I mean,
I just don't understand what they're going for and and
it doesn't like it's just kind of like okay, you're
going for it, like go, like good for you, Like
good luck, but it doesn't make the game more appealing
for me. So I don't know if that represents other
(09:51):
American thought processes, but it doesn't. It doesn't really have
any real appeal. All this extra stuff that they're trying
to do doesn't have any real appeal to me personally.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
I get that, But at the same time, you have
to look at what's happened with the World Cup. Now, granted,
the ticket sales haven't been what they had hoped for,
but there's still a ton of interest globally, and I
think if you step back and look at American football
as compared to football worldwide, it's not even close.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I mean, go look at the viewer ship for the
Super Bowl, go.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
Look at the you know, global viewership for other matches
that take place in soccer.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
It's really not close.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
So I think they look at this as efforts to
expand the game. Hit these different markets, these obviously I
mean huge cities internationally and see if they can't continue
to drum up interest outside of just the US. I mean,
like any company or organization, if you if you you know,
(10:52):
stop and you get stagnant or you kind of plateau,
you can get surpassed you know something's going to pass
you by, or someone's you know going to you know,
take advantage of the opportunity that you're not seeing. So
that's what I feel like this is is trying to
introduce this to other markets. And as we've talked about,
like it, if you think big picture down the road
(11:14):
again looking at some of these owners who are maybe
in smaller markets, they might say, hey, we want to
have you know, a team in some of these different
countries and it becomes much more of a global game,
and I'll you know, maybe down the line you're saying it,
you've got a team in London, you've got a team
in Paris, a team in Madrid and Munich, and maybe
that's your division over there. It's not that wild to
(11:38):
think about that potentially being the case one day if
the NFL was to expand, or if they felt like
there was other smaller markets that weren't performing as well
and they wanted to try to.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Find a way of increasing the bottom line of the revenue.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
I mean, again, it sounds crazy, and again I'm not
necessarily for that because it takes away from you know,
our markets and our fan base and everything that it's really.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Has built up the NFL.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
But I can see their desire or at least what
they're trying to attempt to do.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, I mean, if you just look at the trend
line that that's kind of where we're at, that's where
everything is heading. I mean it just yeah, I don't know.
I just I view it and I and I look
at the whole thing, and I go, all right, I
guess we're just we're going down that road to where
we're just going to have all these international games. We're
gonna have all these It just everything has changed from
what it was, which which makes sense to me. But
(12:35):
I just look at it and go, I think we're
going to be having the same conversations, especially this next year.
If there's there's a lot of teams this next year
that made moves because, as Brady is documented on this show,
the quarterback draft class next year, like you want to
be in that one, you want to have the opportunity
to draft. And so you look at it and go, well,
there's going to be teams in the NFL that are
(12:56):
going to be in position to do so based on
how they handle this offseason. And so if that's the case,
we're gonna get to the same point of the year
next year or this upcoming season. We're late in the year,
we're going to see a bunch of awesome games with
great matchups, or at least that's the plan in these
primetime windows. And then we're gonna get to Sunday and
(13:17):
look around and go, this is it? Like, can we
borrow a couple of college games from the day prior
and throw these in here? Like it just it feels
like we're gonna get more and more now we're getting
bad football that you could that. It's obvious and transparent
to me that the NFL is acknowledged we got bottom feeders,
(13:38):
we've got big time teams. We're throwing them in the
primetime windows, we're throwing them on Netflix. And when you
get to the holidays, enjoy those games because you're gonna
get a bag of crap on Sunday.
Speaker 7 (13:47):
But then you're trying to expand. You're trying to expand
bad bad football, bad games that doesn't make it doesn't
seem to make sense, doesn't add up to me if
the product isn't what it once was, which I mean,
I guess you look at fast food and all that stuff,
and how different things are, how the evolution of you know,
(14:10):
the the production of it and all. I I don't know, man,
I don't know, because I like just the things I
see and and experience on a on a ground level,
like how high school football looks anymore, you know, the
participation of it. I don't know that it makes sense
(14:31):
to be trying to continue to expand. I think you gotta.
I think you gotta not get complacent on what you have.
And I mean, if if my memory serves me correctly,
these were moms, mom and pop franchises, like these were
mom and pop businesses. NFL franchises were, and so to me,
(14:54):
if it came from such a pure place and it
was something that was a part of our clubs and colleges,
and it was it was something that you could get
out there and you could do. And and now it's
something where.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
It's like we want to really, really really expand.
Speaker 7 (15:14):
Our borders and for the sake of business, and we
don't want to get passed up by anybody. It's kind
of like, I don't know, it feels like the Icarus
affected me, like like.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Just fly where you are, you know exists where y are.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
Sunday has been been football for the NFL, It's always
been football. You get Sunday night, that's cool, Monday night,
that's pretty cool. I had no problem with it even
when Thursday night came about. All right, no worries, But
I just I don't know, Like, you're not going to
become soccer. That's not going to happen. And there's no reason. Man, guy,
(15:51):
I know you got to adapt. I know you gotta adapt.
I really do. I understand evolution, understand adaptation, but I
just can.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
You adapt within? Does okay?
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Is adapt and evolve synonymous with you have to grow it?
You know, like, can't you take what you have and
continue to make it better and continue to refine it
and do those things? Versus does it have to be
synonymous with try? Dislike overwhelming amount of we.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Have to expand we have to be the best. We
have to be the number one sport globally?
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Like? Is that is that really what it's synonymous with?
I don't think it should be, to be honest, I don't,
But that's just me. It's our sport. What do we
gotta share it? Why and why you're working so and
why you're working so hard to do it?
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Like there's just some people.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
And for what it's worth, it's just some people that
don't get down with football.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
They don't and they never will.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Yeah they're dorks.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
Maybe maybe, But I just I don't know. I say,
Galvani is what you have. Figure out what you have
and stick to that and be great at that, and
continue to be great at that, evolve and being great
at that. This whole like expanding the borders and all
this other stuff, it takes away from To me, it
(17:24):
takes something away, take something away from this game.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
But it's just me. That's just me. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
I get it, I get it. I mean, it's kind
of like buying Greenland.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
You know.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
People are fans of what people aren't. I just think
they don't want people to fall asleep at the wheel.

buying should be all right. So there was a.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
I mean a.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Real just under the table deal that was done yesterday
on the show that I don't think got enough attention
brought to it. I think LeVar tried to, but he
was just so distraught by what had happened, knowing that
two people on this show would work together to screw
over the other people on the show. Patrick Sweeka, our
(21:45):
executive producer, finagling our picks from the hat for the
PGA Championship to where Brady gets Scottie Scheffler and it
just happens to be the last name of the hat
is one of the great screw jobs in the history
of sports.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Awful.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I don't know why it was allowed. I don't know
why we tolerate it, but congratulations. Scottie Scheffler is amongst
a bunch of other guys tied for three under at
the PGA Championship.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
Yeah, how many other guys, since you think it's such
an advantage, how many other guys are tied at three
on ho.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
There like seven other six other Yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Think there's seven others after one day, so, but.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
None of those are ours.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
It's not my fault.
Speaker 7 (22:25):
And plus left, there's plenty of I have no fault
for anyone to lob at anybody's feet. What will happen,
will happen? What will be will be? I mean, I'll
tell you what. Hey hey, when they get out there,
(22:48):
all I want to see is a pride, a confidence,
a focus on doing what they do best, putting that
little white ball on that tee, getting that iron, letting
it rip.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Baby, That's what I want to see.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
I like it, That's what I want to see. Is
this the PGA Championship theme music?
Speaker 9 (23:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
It says fair way to greatness.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
That's bad.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Oh wow, that sounds awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I hear sarcasm I felt for me, maybe from Jonas.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Jonas hates anything that's outside.
Speaker 6 (23:29):
The realm of like what he wears, which is like
all black say in a biker gang was never rode
a motorcycle.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
What are you trying to say? If Pantera wrote this song,
I'd be a bigger fan of it.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Yeah, yeah, it's kind of No.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
I just think they should have a mosh pit section
at out of every PG eight tour event, you know
what I mean, Like just for that one little like
black sheep section of of you know, the population that
might want to watch golf but fight while they're doing.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
It might be interesting.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Well, I'm into one scenario came up.
Speaker 6 (24:03):
I'm not sure when Jonas was going to get to this,
but you've got to be on time for your tea time.
But apparently defining what on time means for your tea
time can be confusing, and it actually brings up a
greater discussion about that. Like we all look, we've all
(24:25):
heard the phrase if you're earlier on time, if you're
on time, you're late. We get that, right, we've all
gotten that. Now, that can differ depending on where you're from,
you know, like LaVar and I've always heard that that's
you know, football, that's military, that's all these other backgrounds
that we've experienced it come from. So that's ingrained in us,
(24:45):
But that's not necessarily like everyone. You know, some people
they'll say, hey, if I've got a tea time at
you know, seven thirty eight, I need to be there
at seven thirty eight. And even within that seven thirty eight,
they might say, well, hey, my watch says seven thirty
eight and thirty seconds. And they would say, well, I'm
(25:06):
not late. You know, I'm here, I'm within that seven
thirty eight. It's not seven thirty nine yet, So you
can understand as Jonas, I'll let you lay the scenario out,
you can understand how things can get confused.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
So Garrick Keego is a South African golfer who when
you look at him, you go, figures, I'm almost positive
that guy worked on this show. Like you look at him,
you go, we know that guy from somewhere, all right,
he is uh that is a familiar face. And he
also just became the most relatable person to a lot
(25:42):
of people listening right now, because here he was trying
to explain the issue he had getting to his tea
time yesterday at the PGA Championship, just.
Speaker 9 (25:51):
A few hundred percent clear. When you walk to the t,
it was a surprise to you, and they said two
stroke puennalty year late.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
It wasn't a surprise.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
I was late.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
I mean my Caddy was yelling at me to get
to the t.
Speaker 9 (26:03):
So okay, so by the time you got there, you
already knew that it was thinking.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
Idea it was probably gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (26:08):
Yeah, you were with the PGA. It seemed like for
a bit just now, were you trying to argue your
case a little bit or I was.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
Just trying to get evidence. I mean, I feel like
if any of you would have done the same, because
it's kind of I was there on time, but the
rule is if you're one second leg, you're late. So
if you if you think about it, I was there
on time, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
But I don't quite no, No, what is it when
you say that you were there on time but late?
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Like I was there at seven eighteen thirty seconds and
seven eighteen was the tea time, yeah, or something like that,
seven nineteen whatever it was.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I don't know. I you know, it's so in his
mind he doesn't believe he was late. But whatever it is, it's.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
Like, hold on for a second, Like there's there's a
legitimate conversation here.
Speaker 6 (26:54):
I mean, like who's keeping the clock that's to the
second with accuracy? Like I'm stand people out there like, hey, Dumbo,
just have him get there a minute before. And he's fine,
But there's a there's a greater conversation here. He was saying, like, look,
I don't want to be standing up there early. Then
I get stiff. I'm standing waiting for five ten minutes.
(27:14):
He's like, I've got to hit a t shot in
front of all these people at a major event.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
He goes, it's tough to do that. So he's like,
I like to.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
Try to kind of, you know, cut it close so
I can stay loose. That was his rationale for it.
But then it calls into question, like, all right, if
you're sitting there getting ready to have coffee with someone
and they show up and you said, hey, let's be
there at seven thirty, and you look at your watch,
they're there at seven thirty, but it just clicked the
seven thirty one.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Are you holding it against him?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I mean, I blame the iPhone, to be honest with you.
If you everybody just looked down at your phone right now,
what does it say. It'll say six thirty four, three
thirty four, four thirty four. It doesn't give the seconds.
So he was probably looking at his eye going all right, yeah,
it's you know whatever, you know, seven eighteen or whatever
tea time it was. Because the iPhone doesn't have the
(28:07):
seconds included on the clock on your phone. Listen, I'd
let them off. I'd say, hey, listen, whatever punishment they
gave you we got, we gotta let you go. I
think it's a fair argument for him. Not every clock
unless you've got to watch with the seconds handgoing. Not
every clock has got the seconds attached to It's like
the old school basketball clocks where they didn't have the
(28:27):
tenths of the second, they just had the full seconds.
Maybe he's got one of those. Makes sense to me.
Speaker 7 (28:33):
I feel like this is way more interesting and entertaining
than the tournament. I think it's pretty cool, like honestly,
like somebody was sitting there and they're watching the clock,
like literally like like please please, let somebody please, Yes, yes,
(28:58):
finally at South Afric can get it.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Let's get them.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
But what is that? Let me look at my look
at my notes here. Yep, that's two strokes here. But
take this take this to the But and where do
you send this judgment to? By the way, what is
the what is the chain of action that takes place?
You're late, the person who saw saws it or seeing it?
What happens after that?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
What do they do? Is there someone after that? Is
there someone after that?
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Like?
Speaker 7 (29:30):
Do they make calls? Are they on site? How does
this all work? How does this all I'm curious does
this all play.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Just to seven eighteen? Was that the tea time?
Speaker 2 (29:40):
He said?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Seven eighteen? What do seven eighteen and thirty seconds count
for seven nineteen.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I don't think that was it doesn't.
Speaker 6 (29:50):
No, that's why I think you've got a minute of buffer,
or at least fifty yes, seconds of buffer. Yes, yeah,
look again again, we get it, Like we understand he
should have been there at seven sixteen.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
Okay, we get it. But this is how the process works.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
So he walks up and as you walk up to
one of those t boxes for the first hole, there
will be a gentleman there with a scorecard. It's the
official scorecard that you will submit then after the round.
And that's where honestly, he you know, he kind of
tried to argue his case, find evidence, as he mentioned.
But what's interesting is the guy gave the scorecard and says,
(30:27):
you've received a two stroke penalty for being late.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Well, that's the determination right then and there.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Correct, the starter in this case would make that determination.
And then now he's going to go play. So the
crazy thing about his round yesterday is if you take
away the two stroke penalty, he's tied for the leagues.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
He's sitting at minus one right now.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yes, So.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
That's what could.
Speaker 6 (30:51):
Get interesting if Gerrik Ego could end up getting you know,
close to winning this thing, and if he ends up
losing by two strokes or you're gonna look at and say, oh,
like maybe he should have been type forder in a
playoff right now, That's what's kind of crazy about this.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Does he sue he was technically on time?
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (31:11):
And this is and this is where I'm going to
bring you in for this conversation which gets a little
different different. Look, I'm friends with people from different cultures,
and people from different cultures they operate, you know, not
as I'm just saying, is the fact that he's South
African play a role in this media us versus how
we view it?
Speaker 7 (31:30):
Brady Quinn, I immediately thought it, and I did not
say it. And I was gonna say to you guys,
have y'all ever been to a concert, like a music concert?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Like he never starts on time?
Speaker 7 (31:44):
On time, starts an hour like if you get it
an hour beyond the start time, you've won, right like
and yeah, in my mind, I was about to hit
a little punchline like, yeah, well I know.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Who they made that rule for.
Speaker 7 (32:02):
Or that's why you don't see very many of us
going on to the golf course, you know, I was
I was going to do it.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Okay, I want to do all of those things.
Speaker 7 (32:13):
They call it, they nicknamed it, they gave it an initials,
and they call it CP time, which now it's very inappropriate.
I think it's outdated. It's an outdated turns out.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah, I'm not going to.
Speaker 7 (32:28):
Even throw it out there, but y'all work it out.
It's it's like the rainbow and people.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
You know, he is South African, but he is white.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
So yeah, but it's but.
Speaker 7 (32:40):
That's what from a cultural standpoint, But when you say African,
what's the first thing you think about. So he may
have been, he may have been influenced by people that
live around him and in South Africa, you know, the mother.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Maybe it's just maybe it's just their culture.
Speaker 6 (33:02):
Like forget influence, Like when when you grow up in
a certain area, it changes how you look at things.
Like look, best man of my wedding, one of my
best friends in life, his family's Nigerian. And I learned
this when we would be going to sports together, because
you know, you've got a game at six o'clock, you
got to be there thirty minutes beforehand. And if they're
(33:22):
doing the carpool, it's a toss up whether or not
you're going to make it to the game on time.
Like it just that was and it wasn't anything other
than the fact that, like that's their perspective or their experience,
and that's how you know they grew up back when
they grew up in Nigeria, and so you know that's
it's just different. And I kind of learned that over
time for many, many different reasons. But again, I look
(33:47):
at this situation and just wonder, Yes, there.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Was a part of that.
Speaker 6 (33:50):
He doesn't want to stand there and be waiting and
feel like he's stiff before he has to go hit
a t shot, which I would say this too, not
that I've played in a couple of pro ams, so
I know a little bit what it feels like to
be in that moment, not like a major event or anything,
but when you've got people around you who are watching
and you're getting announced and all that, and it counts, right,
(34:10):
it's the first swing and everything, and there's no mulligans.
There's no like, oh let me redo that, or that
didn't look good, like it counts. It all counts that
it's a little bit nerve racking, like that's that's probably
one of the more like nerve wracking things like I
have done in my life, and you know, we've played
in primetime in the NFL like like, because the difference is,
(34:31):
you know, you feel more prepared for those moments. You're like,
I've watched all the film, I've you know, worked everything
to prepare for this and practice everything to prepare for this.
I mean maybe for these golfers it's even as much
as they prepare, it's still golf.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
It's hard as hell. So I'm sure there's an element
of him thinking.
Speaker 6 (34:49):
Like I can get there right at seven eighteen and
go hit and I'll be good, Like I'll be loose,
I'll be ready to roll.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
But again there's differences how people view whether that's later
or not.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yeah, I just think I really do, legitimately think he's
got a kid, because I'm sure if they're documenting what
time he arrived, they're documenting it to the second. And
if that's the case, I don't know how you dock
the guy, especially like you said, look, he's only two
strokes back. If that those two strokes are the difference
between this guy winning a major championship, which is so
(35:20):
hard to do. I think he's got to I think
he's got a case.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Man.
Speaker 7 (35:24):
I really do have learned a very very good lesson
moving forward. I could have won had I been on time.
Just you gotta know, like, like ignorance to the rule
is not like you still are cupeable, Like that's the
bottom line, man.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
Well, but but I think to his point, the question is,
if your tea times is seven eighteen, do you want
to know seven to seventeen, then like what time's the
actual tea time?
Speaker 7 (35:49):
And here's what's interesting. I'll say this because coming from
you two, it's pretty interesting because Jonas pulls up literally
at the same exact time.
Speaker 4 (36:02):
Bro, he's the Garret. He's the Garrett.
Speaker 6 (36:05):
He go of of our show every day because if
there is any.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
Any detour or traffic, he might be late. That's it's
so close.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
There is all the time.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
It's so close all the time.
Speaker 7 (36:19):
But you pull in at the same time, and it's
it's wild to me, like why do you cut it
so close? But yet you come in at the same
exact time. It's like I'd be sitting there in the
car like he should be coming.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
All right.
Speaker 7 (36:36):
This is where he's this is where we get into
he's going to be he could be late, like here
he comes pulling up at the Super Bowls. We'll be
sitting there and sometimes it gets so like it gets
to that point where you could get Doc two strokes
for when Q walks in, Q walks in, it's literally
fifty eight and and and the clock just hit fifty nine,
(36:59):
and it's that's.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
What I've got.
Speaker 6 (37:01):
That's why I want clearly on this like do I
have Look, I'm a clock guy, and I know we're
up against the now, but do I have that full
minute or not? If I don't, I think you do,
then I've got to adjust. I think I'm with you.
I think I'm actually with I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
But I was on CP time yesterday, so it's like
the worst time.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Even know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
I'm generally always on time, super surely.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
No saying that I don't remember yesterday.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
No rats in this building, I don't remember.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
Yes, you go, we go, you go, we go?

Speaker 1 (39:07):
Guys, we've talked a lot this week, specifically about the
gouging of the fan when it comes to prices at games.
Arthur Blank is doing his best to have cheap concession,
so on and so forth with you when you go
to Mercedes ben Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta. We now
turn our attention to college football. There's a ticket site
they resell tickets on game time. It's called and they
(39:33):
listed the five most expensive college football tickets this upcoming season.
Wisconsin Notre Dame is number five at eight hundred and
twenty six dollars for a take dam Michigan Ohio State
at eight ninety eight. Number three is Texas Oklahoma a
(39:55):
little over nine hundred dollars Okay Ohio State. Texas is
a little over one thousand and coming in at number one.
Texas Texas A and M towards the end of the season,
one thousand and fifty six dollars for a ticket and
all continue that game. That's the end.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
Of the year. Yeah, that price will come down. I
would thorry about that, but I won't be in there.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
I continue to say, Man, why would you pay that
when you can watch on TV, save hundreds of dollars
and get a better experience than being around a bunch
of drunk kids at a game where you got to
pay those prices just to get in the door, on
top of everything else that you've got to pay for
(40:42):
while you're there. Like, just watch the game at home,
like it's presented to you on such a platter that
you can enjoy it all and not have to worry
about any of that garbage. If it's not free, I'm out.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
I'm not paying those prices or anything close to those
price is.
Speaker 6 (41:01):
The tough thing for you is you and your family
will never get to experience that kind of fun though.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
You know what are you talking about. We've been to
sporting events a couple what do you mean you mean?
Cubs Angels on in August on a Friday night and
the blistering Heat's not fun we're talking about.
Speaker 4 (41:21):
That's not the Marque matchup we were looking for.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Trust me, it wasn't a Marquee matchup. Couldn't even find
the car in the parking lot afterwards, disaster. But uh,
you know, listen, man, I'm not paying those prices that
your pickup truck that was in that parking lot. No
oh good, it would have been easier, thank goodness.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
Yeah you hear that, old school
