(00:00):
You're listening to the downbeat on ninetyseven to one, the freak three wins,
zero rounds over par for the wholeseason. Yeah for one. Scotti
Scheffler, Dallas's own, he's backhere, touching Meredith Belly. I was
(00:21):
thinking to her, just prego asa hell watching at home, probably with
some family, you know, Isthat a kick? No, we're fine,
No, I'm good. Should wecall? Should we call? I
was like, no, let himfinish three point six million dollars? Yeah,
go too. I saw somewhere themoney he's made in the last thirty
(00:42):
days. Basically, I don't rememberwhat the total was, but it's a
lot. So congratulations to Dallas' own. Scotti Scheffler, you're Master's champion.
But golf talk's not over. Don'tworry. We're gonna break down the entire
RBC Heritage Field hole by whole preview. Who will win the Tartan Jacket?
(01:02):
More money in that pot than there'sthe Master's Yeah, which is amazing too.
We'll do a little more sports atnine o'clock. Mab He's wrapped up
their season, Stars got one gameleft. They're looking on top of the
world as well. Fun times don'tmiss nine thirty. We have Lee Habib,
host of our American Stories, joiningus. I thought that was Eric
(01:25):
Nadell for a long time. Hesounds exactly yeah a little bit. That's
leeha Bibe. Helt Scotty twenty seven, twenty seven. He's made eighty two
point six million dollars in his PGAcareer. Gosh, I mean that is
you got life by the balls man, eighty two million dollars playing golf.
(01:47):
Awesome bro. When he made thewinning putt two put the ball in his
pocket and that's like, that meanshe's keeping it right. It's his ball,
Okay, so a lot of peoplemight throw it to the crowd.
It is not uh incumbent on ScottieShuffler to be more fired up or to
you know, have a little morefun out there. And I think for
(02:07):
people outside of Dallas, he'd probablyI mean popular. Sure, everyone likes
some good dude, but he's notdoing anything really, you know. I
mean even a O Bear did acouple of little things where it's like,
all right, get little juice tothe crowd. Scotty doesn't do any of
that. But that's also maybe whyhe's a complete machine. Out there that
annihilates everyone as you keep that levelheadand do the smart thing. I get
it, but shouldn't you right whenyou win? I was thinking you should
(02:30):
greech in your bag, pull everygolf ball you out you have out and
throw them all, like empty yourbag. Yeah, just throw six balls.
How many balls are they bringing aroundthree? Who knows? They're not
like us who have forty golf ballsevery time to step on a first tee
and that's a fifty to fifty shot, Like he needs three golf balls,
Max, right? And I thinkmaybe they bring six? Yeah, throw
(02:53):
all the sign them if you want, throw the balls out every glove you
have. I mean, just thatalone might give you a little bit of
yeah's man of the people. Idon't know anything anything. There's so much
room in golf for someone to justbe the people's champ. And who is
it right now? Is this stillSpeith? Kind of? He's from here,
from here, lives here, walksamong us. We could run into
(03:16):
him at lunch and yesterday when theround started, I was pulling for two
guys not named him. Yes,Max, home of it because he's funny.
He is funny and Oberg for me, the Texas tech guy, but
also kind of likable. The younggun who never played there before is his
first major. I like that story. I like him, it's my guy.
(03:38):
And yet you know he ended upgoing Okay, Scott, he won,
And maybe it's just because you knewit was gonna go that way.
But Moricaba would have been fine withtwo. How do you pronounce it?
Overt oberg Oberg him pronouncing it,it's weird Swedish right Oldberg Swedish, No
Danish, he's Swedish. He's somethought he was a Swedish from Sweden.
(04:00):
He gave his uh, he gavehis glove to a fan. Yeah,
he loved that. Gloves go tothe cabin. Yeah, on the fringe,
gloves gloves Okay, Yeah, thisweekend was ruined by Marikwa. That's
all I could do. Malcolm islooking at me like, what are you
saying? I'm like, Maura cowwhoa any and anytime home is a Max
(04:24):
Homer birded on three every I saidit fifty times each all weekend. Obviously,
I made Christina watch a lot ofgolf this weekend. Great sport about
it, but we were doing itand we stopped doing it and then it
was quiet. You know, we'rewatching she's she stood up, was in
the kitchen doing something, and shejust went she damn it, Danny.
(04:44):
It had been like an hour sincewe even said it, and I knew
exactly what she meant because she hadMari Coway. She didn't even say the
word every time, Laura cow Wella million times. But yeah, non
stuf, just think golfers just stealthe crowd with a little personality, take
(05:04):
much. It's just so frustrated entertainers. We're entertainers, we're not golfers.
We fancy ourselves as guys who cando both. And that's why it's so
frustrating to us, because we knowwe could have the audience in the palm
of our hands. We crush them, destroy them, or take them on
the right of their lives. Thisguy we know, and I guess Scotta
Scheller doesn't want to be one ouncemore famous or popular. He doesn't there
(05:30):
he said that a million times.This is not my deity. Keep saying
it like we know it's not youridentity, but sort of is. But
are you surprised there's not one golferout there who is that? And speed
almost does it by default. Idon't think Speth cares that much about being
the modern day Arnold Palmer and thepeople's champ and all this stuff. He
just kind of is, or hewas because he's wheels off and he's you
(05:51):
know, closer to us, becausehe will knock it into the next fairway
over and scramble to try to saveit. But there's no one out there
that, I mean, God forbid, we had like the villain golfer,
And you know, what, doyou think in our lifetimes we'll have like
the talking s golfer in the pairingwith someone like cheering your missus. I
(06:12):
wish, like it seems so faroff, but what if we had that
This is what we talk about laughingat your miss Like it's not it's it's
not out of the realm, youknow, Like you could have that a
real bad guy, Mike. CanI talk about this the other day,
Danny, Like it's our job tomake golf palatable for people who don't give
a crap about it, because thereare so many things about it that are
(06:34):
just really super g you know,and like we can make this a lot
more fun if we could stop wearingthe stop wearing goofy pants and it is.
It stops discussing how lush the greengrass is. You know, No,
let's be honest, kid, Sunhis ball suck it. I'm gonna
(06:57):
make this putt. You are ajaywad. You know, there's a lot
of things you could do. Andthat's an extreme, but just a little
bit of who has it. Imean, we like almost a sign personality,
like Justin Thomas Rory chipped in thatone time and showed personality, and
we like carry that with you,buddy, and then and then and then
(07:19):
the fracture because some of those guysdid Rom had a little bit. Dustin
Johnson, even though he's a doorlyhad anim smith, he grows a mustache
and a mullet, and those arethe two most interesting things about him because
he's boring his health. Bryson's cabdriver hat really has hurt him because if
he even didn't do that in hisearly days, people would have thought of
(07:40):
him the way they thought about it. I think the Scheffler and I was
thinking about this as he was walkingup that. You know, it's always
cool when the guy walks up thefairway to the eighteenth Green knowing he's going
to win. And the way heapproaches the game, I think is probably
like the way a cashier at DollarGeneral approaches doing their job when they walk
(08:03):
up, when they pull up toin front of their store and they walk
in and get behind the cash register. Is there any part of them that's
nervous at all about doing their job? No, No, not a bit.
And I think that's the way helooks at golf. I think he
is just so looks at this assuch a this is what I do to
make a living. I'm going towork. There's no pressure here. I'm
gonna make money. I got mywife, I got my god, I
(08:26):
got my kid on the way.Everything's fine. This is just work and
that does the best way to doit. And it doesn't get in his
head. It doesn't make him nervous. He because those guys, you can
tell, you can see them sweatingit out and going over the calculations and
how did I miss that shot?And what's wrong with me? And I'm
terrible, I'm the worst golfer.He just seems completely unfazed by it.
(08:48):
Where he just I mean, doyou get nervous coming in here to put
on headphones and talk for four hours? No, no, really, I
bet that's how he approaches his job. And you know what, why should
that be any different? No,it's he shouldn't change what he clearly shouldn't
change one thing about what he's doing. And it's just I guess for selfish
reasons, where it's like, wewant good guys, bad guys. I
want personality. I want to seeheartbreak and triumph. You want this to
(09:11):
be as important to them as itis to you, pretty much what you
want to about the cowboys every year. You want them to be affected by
you know, there's shortcomings, andyou want to see the emotions that you're
feeling when you're nervous about him standingover a fifteen foot putt and if he
(09:31):
if he misses it, then it'sgoing into overtime. I don't think he
looks at these moments in any otherway than right, he's mugging, But
no one does. There's no oneout there with some real spark and fire
personality. Hang dong on the course, somebody, get wild. We'll love
you. We've been begging for it. That's why Happy Gilmore was made for
(09:52):
this reason. They don't have it, and you would think that would have
inspired someone to be it, butcan you be it and do that?
Like golf is just you have tohave that level head. And I don't
go yeah, Birdie, it doesn'tmean I wont the whole thing, No,
because you probably need to be alittle fat. He's Kevin, Kevin,
(10:15):
Danny Mikey. It's time for thescuttle. But that shows up pat
press reference spround you by advanced airrestoration. Okay, weather, it could
be coming tonight. Uh get stormsthat'll be swooping in this afternoon into the
(10:37):
evening into overnight as well. Lookout, don't not severe. It's gonna
be there. To be honest,kind of hot though. I mean we're
talking about Wednesday, a high ofeighty eight degrees, then a cold front
going a hit later in over theweekend. A cold front or a cool
friend. I would say cool front. It's probably the safer way to put
it. A high have seventy twoon Friday, but that's after the Thursday's
(11:00):
eighty seven. In fact, Urkottwas even issuing some warnings to everyone.
Higher temperatures increase demand. You knowthat. You know it's going on there,
but in April to be cranking anac full force. It is not
what they want. I run mineat night because it needs to be cold.
(11:20):
What feels like two months of beautifulweather. It's beautiful to live here,
my man. It kind of is. It's beautiful. Enjoy it,
Enjoy every day, spend it outside. A moment wasted indoors is a moment
wasted in the Texas summer. Thinkabout this. If you go in to
think about it, you go indoors. Now, that's a moment that you'll
(11:43):
be paying for later on in thesummer. I don't know that it works
out like that. It doesn't,but if you create that method in your
head, then that's the way youthink about it. I think I see
the point you're trying to make.It's not clear, but that'd be if
by the end of the year,like you have to allow a certain amount
of time to be outside, thenyou should yes be acquiring that time right
now. But that is not howit works. I think with Kevin's saying
(12:05):
that if you spent four days sittingon your fat ass eating cheese puff puffs
watching golf, yes you're going toregret that when you are forced to be
inside watching nothing when it's one hundredand seven outside, you're like, oh,
man, I could have been outin the spring and it was beautiful
and yesterday and Saturday we're great tobe outside. That's the better way to
(12:26):
put it. So good. Ihad door open all week. Oh yeah,
can't let skeeters in though. No, it's got a screen, magnetic
screen, nice Simon. Just andhe just continues to sprint out there and
yell at people as they walk byand destroy my fence. And can't let
it. He can't let it go. He can't just let him walk by
(12:46):
every person. Your Your fence can'ttake much more abuse either. I was
out there with a nay it,with a hammer and nails, just trying
to get it to make it anotherweek. He's going to go through the
whole the whole thing's going to collect, and it's going to have the shape
of Simon. Yes, a perfectsilhouette of Simon idiot. Uh. Yes,
but it's been beautiful, as beautifulas weekend. And what do we
(13:07):
have tornatics or no? Oh ifit's eighty five today and cloudy and rainy,
yeah, of course his chances perspectivesevere weather as the day moves on.
It's not even eight o'clock yet,so no sun action yet today,
but yeah, that's u later thisafternoon into the evening, looking more of
the overnight for the severe stuff,but storms hankering down. Uh, and
(13:28):
news through DFW. I'll be quick. I want to spend more time on
something fun. Uh. People gotshot a lot in the Metroplex. Moving
on, Okay, country wide therewas some massive shooting this week, big
weekend for shooting. So much shootingoutside with their guns, shoot out Dallas.
(13:50):
Someone disrespected me, I must shootyou. And lots of shoot shootings.
So I don't really want to dodetails on shootings today. I leave
that to me at a Come on, Danny, No, I don't even
want to know. But yeah,okay, if you're gonna do it.
Also, it's fine, it's fine. I'll handle all the murders. Let's
have a little fun. They're makinga Chris Barley movie. You see this,
(14:15):
No so be directed by Josh Gadd. Your star will be Paul Walter
Hauser. Anyone off the top ofthe tongue, nothing, nothing, nothing,
okay, okayhol Before I look,is that the fat the fat dude
in man man Hunt, mind Hunter? I don't know if he was in
mind Hunter. I don't know that. He was in something called Blackbird.
(14:37):
Oh, this is the dude.Yeah, he was mind Hunter guy.
Oh well, yeah, he wasin whatever I was thinking of. So
he was the he was the bodyguardin it, Tanya. He was in
Richard Jewell, the movie that Clinteastwid. Yeah. That guy's great.
Yeah. And then he was inBlackbird, which got him an Emmy.
Which is that show on Netflix.I didn't watch it, but he apparently
plays a crazy character and that Iremember that night he won the speech,
(15:01):
he was eating chicken in a chickenwing and walked up there. He's funny,
gay, big physical comedy. Heactually does some wrestling too. Brody
check in on that. If you'relistening out there, Paul Walter Hauser will
be your star. And it's gonnabe based off the book through Chris Farley
Show, which I don't know ify'all read that. I have it if
you want to borrow it. It'shis life in three parts and it's very
(15:24):
good, and I mean his familywas involved in it, but it's it's
really good. I mean it talksabout Bob Odenkirk was not a fan of
the the sketch where he's at withPatrick Swayze. It's hardy not live the
Chippendale sketchery take great at sketchy ofall everyone else all in it supports it
in bov O and Kurpins. Ithought at that time it was just kind
(15:46):
of taking advantage of Chris's body,but yeah, everyone else is like,
well Chris liked doing it. Hedid that sketch it. You know,
wherever he was, Second City inChicago or whatever. He's wasn't that big
of a deal the stuff. Andthen they get into the book, the
stuff him and David Spade fighting overwomen and stuff. You know, it's
(16:07):
so funny to think about. Youknow, it's crazy units the one ends
with the speedball and all that stuff. I mean, it's the book's insane.
We did a SNL themed event atour previous station and we got Jeremy
at the time Jillian Now to recreatethat Chris Farley Patrick swayzey dance with Mino.
(16:29):
That's pretty good and he's right,I'll do it what a baller did
by no handle this the Swayze rolepretty well. Yeah. Yeah, but
Jarre had the hard part of thatday. I think Kevin Nealon had a
tough part in that sketch, youthink back, do you see the main
judge. Yeah, he had somedecisions. It's a tough decision. You
(16:55):
like what you've both done. Youboth brought a lot to the table.
You've given us a lot to thinkabout. Really good. Uh, there's
also a Monopoly movie in the worOkay, Margot Robbie is in the uh
in the discussions here, So here'swhat happened. What is she gonna play
the top hat? She's gotta hShe's got a production company called Lucky Chap
(17:19):
and they are the ones who gotBarbie to the finish line. Barbie had
been in discussions for a long time, and they fill a little money behind
it got it going. So theLionsgate is now in this. They will
be making a Monopoly movie. Nowhereto if she'll be starring in it or
be a part of it. Buttake Monopoly to a universe. There's a
story, there's there's storylines to betold here after what they could be a
(17:41):
deep movie on the state of economicsin our country. I'm gonna reserve judgment
for these concepts until they actually cometo perish. Because when they said they
were making a Barbie movie, movie. What, No, I will not
go see Why would I want togo watch the movie? And then I
go and see it and it's effinggreat. Yeah. I do have the
(18:03):
same initial feeling about Monopoly movie asBarbie, where you're right, that's what
the hell is that? And thennow ten seconds later, Mike, it'll
Privy Awsome. Yeah, Ryan Gosling'sthe dog. I mean, there's a
lot of good things you can dohere. You cast it good, but
you can make something deep if someone'sgot a good vision to it. Depends
on what director you get, youknow, I mean, Greta gerg had
(18:23):
a specific vision for that a Gorton. Now, it could also fail like
Battleship, you know, so ourgreatest board game movie to date. And
look, if it's two hours andforty five minutes of watching people play Monopoly,
I'm probably not gonna like it.That'd be shocking. If that's what
they want with they'll do best onelong game. Oh community chest, huh,
(18:48):
Bill, what'd you get? Hlooks like I got a tax refund
of fifteen dollars. It could bea sweet a road trip movie just made
about going around the board and youland all these places and you go to
jail. And there's storylines there railroads. But I think deeper is the city
economy, city development economy, localcorruption in politics. Yeah, there's something
(19:15):
there the railway system. Man.Two things. I love owning all four
railroads, by the way, isthat what you do? I do love
that. That's the play. Yeah, I want that. I have no
monopoly strategy. Clue is probably thebest they've done that board game movie.
Yeah, yeah, of all,and then Jumanji is in the conversation.
But that's but that's a fake boardit's a fake game. Yeah, so
(19:37):
no Clue has got to be theking. I give you that. They
did Operation Too. That could bethe cake be good. Also, as
He's and sorry gave people a newlook, He's in a movie called Good
Fortune. He wrote it, directedit, and stars with Keanu Reeves and
Seth Rogen. It's about a guywho's down his luck, switches lives with
the more successful man, and thenlearns the wrong lesson money did solve all
(20:00):
of his problems. That would begood. Keanu Reeves stars as an angel
in this movie. That could begood. I haven't heard from disease in
a long time. That's it.That's good. Didn't disease get like shredded.
No, No, you're thinking tohave Kamal named named Giohnny. Yeah
he shredded. Yeah, you're thinkingof the wrong Indian guy. That's racist
Kevin and he's Kevin Turner. Imean this week said it. But uh,
(20:26):
he got in trouble for something,right, tugging, tugging, we're
not supposed talking about that. Hepersonally, that was at the height of
cancel culture. If he was notgoing on a date that went poorly,
I don't think anything would have happenedto him. He went on a bad
date. When you look at thedetails of what happened, then you would
go, yeah, he just wenton a bad date. Yeah, miss
(20:47):
yeah, miscn misinterpreted signal signals thingslike that. I don't know if there
was any real violation there, butwhen the person that you went on the
bad date with decides to do aright up about your date and sell it
to Variety magazine because it was atthe time light yeah, when everybody's senses
were just height if you even leanin for a smooth shit. We learned
(21:11):
a lot is don't go on dates. In twenty seventeen, bad time to
go on date, No, Mike'sgot a reliant live spot coming up next.
Some stuff from the weekend that youguys need to know about. Guys,
Coachella was an epic disaster, andI've got the audio of one woman
and her mini screams next to ninetyseven won the Freak
