Speaker 2 (00:22):
All right, hello everyone, Welcome back to Quiet Please. Kia
and Mel here. Very happy to have you all with
us as usual.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Mel, we haven't had a solo app in a while,
so we've thought it going to be fun to catch up.
We've both been crazy on the road. It seems like
things are maybe settling down a little bit.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
But how are you.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I'm good, Yeah, I'm really good. Just thriving, mate, absolutely thriving.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
We were just talking to Z.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
But I now realize that as when you're traveling a lot,
you immune system's a bit down, isn't it, And then
you think you can act normal when you get home,
and you really can't, and you actually do have to
take a little bit of self care.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I'm just learning that.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
So yeah, hey, but you know what life's about learning,
isn't it? And you make these mistakes. And I realized
that I can't just go full throttle like I normally do,
especially be on the road for quite a significant amount
of time.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
So I'm trying to be better at that.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I think we're just uh we used to be able
to do it, like maybe five years ago, but.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Now yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Our bodies are revolted. Too old for this.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Ship, We are too old for this shit, but we thrive.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Do you know what?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Lesson learned?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
And do you know what, I'm way a bit behaved
now than it ever was. But I still just can't
do it, Like, I just can't do it. Can't you
can't do like like a well not even a night
of drinking, Like I'm in bed early because of him.
But like, you know, I have to really, I have
to just really be more considerate about what I put
in my body than I ever have before.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
And it's really fucking annoying. I like nice things.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah I don't like nice things.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I buy a bag of Trial Bright crawlers, you know
this worms, the surgummy worms from the from the air
in the airport last night. I don't know why, it
just really spoke to me and I crushed most of
the bag and I got home and I just was
my stomach was not like what what did I do?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Why would I do this?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I know it's nuts. Yeah, but okay, I know that,
Like I feel like, I feel like your airport's pretty
good at this San Francisco, but there's a ton of
healthy options like at all and it's really annoying.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
And I was in the Philly airport yesterday, so you know,
it was bleak.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Oh my god, So I forgot how bad for the
airport is. It's horrific for the airport might be one
of the worst airports we've been too.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I think it's the worst.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Philly Toronto are my two worst. San Francisco is amazing,
especially depending on the terminal you're into. But I mean
we've got like full on beautiful restaurants and Pokemon and sushi,
and you know.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
The robot, the coffee robot. You know, I love that thing.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You love that thing, love the coffee. We should get
one for the new house.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yes, it does take up quite a bit of rooms. Okay,
I don't think I need an entire robot. I do
just have like a brevel that I can make coffee in.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yeah, and Andrew, You've got Andrew as well.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I have Andrew.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah, but Andrew's not a big he can get the
coffee going.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
But he's not like a barista.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Okay, so he's just normal.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yes, we do. We do have a new house.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I started getting some fan mail at the old so surprising.
That's why we moved. I so appreciate all the fans.
I know that we're big Emmy winners now, so.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I should bring a lot of mail.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
But we uh.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I was scrolling Zillow as one does and.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Say, she's my favorite Helby by the way, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Happened upon this house and still in San Francisco, but
in a different neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
And we're like, you know what, let's just put it offer,
let's see you never know, And it happened. It happened,
And I forgot how stressful moving is.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
It's like so much paperwork, so many phone calls, so
much crap. We have so much stuff. It's been good
to get rid of a lot of stuff. But I
haven't been this stressed out in a long time. And
that's saying something.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
That is saying something.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Actually, do you not think when you move house as well,
that you realize how little things you actually need?
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Yeah, and you know why to have all this shit,
Like I don't need.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Anything or the things that we do have I'm like,
oh yeah, but this was my big win. In the
new house, my new closet is, as you can imagine,
I have a lot of golf stuff, and I have
a lot of stuff stuff and a lot of work stuff.
I have more than your average person's fair share of
blazers and more than your average person's fair share of
(04:54):
golf clothes just because of the nature of my life, which.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I'm very grateful for and all of that.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
But in my old house, those all those items were
split between multiple closets and just packed the brim. And
now because I went through everything, I really edited everything down.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
All of my worldly.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Possessions fit into one closet. Well done, you and I
walk into it and I can see everything.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Oh stop, it is it like a walking closet?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Then yeah, yeah, it's not like a.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Giant walking closet, but it's big enough to where I
can walk in see all my stuff. I've got, Like
my my purses are all up displayed, I've got like
some cool accessories that are all out, and then like
all my shoes are all beautifully But yeah, it's like
it's a great.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Yeah, we need to fix that. Maybe in the next house.
We've just we've got shit everywhere. Yeah, we really need
to deck a little bit.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Next house.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Yeah, next house. We'll save it to the next house.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, what have you been doing this week? I like
I even because we didn't do a catch up episode
last week.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
We did the interview with Jeff Brighton, so I feel
like I'm two weeks by hind on you.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, like, oh KPMG.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah, okay, yeah, all the way back. Yeah, talking about
why it might be tired even though it's a week.
When I got home, Yeah, KPg was awesome. A Frisco
was hot as balls. It was really windy as well,
so the girls had an absolute treacherous time trying to
manage that golf course and you know, like you know
what it's like when you're on a set and for
(06:25):
some reason the windslike we couldn't keep anything like on
the desk.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
It's actually a massive pain in the ass.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
But it was a great week me, Amanda Blumenhurst and
Anna Jackson. Yeah, we did some five hour shows Tuesday.
Wednesday was great because we had a bunch of guests
and it actually really kind of mellowed out the day
and it was great to get some people on and
we got like Ollie, who's Jeff's really good friend. Another Caddie,
we got him on. We've got Craig Kester on a
(06:53):
bunch of players. So it's really it changed the dynamic,
really cool.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
How was Craig.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
He's shot Cookie. I'm very impressed with him so far.
This is the new commissioner of the commissioner of the LPGA.
Very impressed with him. He's lovely, he seems to just
get it. Yeah, I've spoke to a few times actually
during that week, and he was I think he's going
to be great. I'm very excited for him.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
And so I was so well behaved all week, Like
I think I had maybe one drink, maybe two drinks
a night, like because obviously I'm so sure I have
to have it on the road. Like it just keeps
me saying. I was some nights didn't even drink like
I was. I was like, right now, it's eight that
nine week, like, just you know, you've got big week
this week, Just you know, don't be tired. And then
(07:37):
Sunday finishes, and I said to it and I said, god,
I just want to glass rose A to you.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
She was like, oh my.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
God, Yeah, I was like, right, I'll get I'll get
a bottle on the way home. She's like perfect. There
was like an outdoor area at the top of the hotel.
It was actually really nice.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Well me be me. I thought better get too, So.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
That's in case, just you and Anna.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Me and Anna and like a couple other people on
the production team. But we didn't realize that didn't really
drink that much. So, like Chloe had a couple of
glasses to be fair. So basically it was us three,
but not really it was mean Anna. We drank them
and then I was like, oh my god, let's go
down the bar.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
And get it on.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
So that's the mistake. That's always the mistake of getting.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
The third bottle, I know, because then you've had one
over one bottle.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
You're probably gonna be a little bit gross tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Yeah. Anyway, long story short, go to my room. Common
what time it is. I go to my room. I'm
obviously lit. And anyway, my flight was at seven and
I get a phone call through the hotel. I get
called at seven o five. It's my wife, Carly. We
see and she's like, hey, you at the airport. I'm
like no, She's like calling me at the hotel obviously,
(08:45):
so I think she's silly. So then she's like, well,
you flies in ten minutes, and I was like, shit,
I look down and I've got a T shirt on,
no uderwear and one sock and I was like, don't worry, babes,
I'm going to get in the next one. And I
was like, oh my god, Oh my god. I hate
missing flights. I hate missing flights more than anything. I'd
rather like rarely have. I'd rather suffer horrifically on the
(09:05):
flight and just get home. Yeah, so anyway, I have
a quick shower, still managed to only put one sock
on for some strange revision which I didn't realize until
I went through security, and then managed to get in
the next flight anyway somehow, like got to the airport,
dropped my car off, like I was just like, oh
my god, I actually felt okay. I had a bag
of Doritos, and I sat next to perfect perfect Nancy
(09:28):
and Dennis or whatever their names were, and they would
not shut the fuck up.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
I was obviously in the middle seat.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I had to rebook my flight, and they would you know,
when you just want to sleep and dribble. Yeah, And
like I was in comfortalk because I only had one
sock on, Like, you know, you can feel your foot,
can't yet, It's gross, It's disgusting. Yeah, and like I'm
already sweaty because I've had to rush there and stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
So and you know that we hate being hungover out
of flight. I hate it three worst things.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Maybe top two, and yeah, I still do it. So
but this was a state. This was after a long stretch,
and I felt great for a while. Then then I
remember standing up thinking, oh, dear, like I've definitely drank
too much rosa here. So anyway, I get home, fucking hell,
I had to act normal, you know what I mean,
you know, you get you're like, hey, yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I'm not that tired, and fine.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
What was Carly's she was?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
She didn't show it that much. She was actually pretty
solid about it. She was like, oh, whatever, like things happened.
But yeah, by the way, looking after a child hung
over it as horrific because I'm obviously like, this is
obviously not I feel bad because I'm like, you don't
deserve to have half of me. So then I'm like
over the top and I'm like so present with him,
and I'm like, well, fucking I'm exhausted by the end
(10:42):
of the night.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Obviously you're just dying.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Yeah, and no literally like I'm literally throwing it.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Basically emotionally, I'm like, you're an idiot. So yeah, that
was me.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
So I did miss my first celebrate the Great Week, the.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Great Week a KPMG The Great Yeah, that was great.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
I lived in Dallas. That was fantastic.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yeah, and it was just a long I felt like
it was a quite a long week because of like
the win and they were playing slow, like six hours
to play two balls.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Okay, So you had this really great piece on Live
from that with mini viral. So many people were talking
about the great points that you made. Now, thank you,
thank you such a such a great analyst. So if
anybody didn't see it, can you please explain what that was?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah, So basically in a I mean, I don't fact
check all of its I can't don't mindymous in front
of me. But so basically I can't take all the credit.
I actually rang Brandle because I know he does his research.
And anyway, I rang Brandal just before I was going
on air, and I said, look, we're going to talk
about corsep and I don't want to. Just what I've
learned being an analysis is like you can't. I've always
(11:51):
just had an opinion, But if you really want to
be a good analyst, you have to back it up.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
With facts, right like you just I didn't. I've now
learning that.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
So basically, the girls were playing in six hours in
like a two ball like it was absurd, and my
opinion was that it was called setup. So the girls
at KPMG were playing just over six thousand, five hundred
at the Travelers they were playing at the word PGA
event the same week we're playing. It's just over six thousand,
seven hundred and forty or something. So there's only two
(12:20):
hundred and forty yard different when actually, long story short,
it should be eleven hundred yards different because the average
driving distance and the LPGA compared to the men and
the average seventy nine and the LPGA compared to the
men's it's around over eighteen holes, is around one one
hundred yards.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
So in layman's terms, the just the distance so women
have is significantly less at that level. So the course
setup should be appropriately reflecting that, and it's not the
way that the current setups are.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah, so the average driving distance, and the LPGA is
about two sixty And that's me being a bit generous,
by the way, when I was looking at it, and
the average PGA tour is three hunds. Now that the average
seven to nine is one fifty for women and one
eighty for men, So that's seventy yards different over eighteen holes,
give a take eleven hundred yards. Now, the problem is
I was trying to compare it to travelers that same week,
(13:12):
which is two hundred and forty yard difference when it
needed to be eleven hundred. So then I did the
PGA when it was at quail Hollo a few weeks ago,
and it was about one thousand yard different. But the
problem is with women as well, and this is what
infuriates me, is there so the difference was one thousand yards,
so we're already playing at one hundred yards further back.
We don't hit it as high, we don't spin it
as much, so we have to have soft greens like
(13:34):
and we can't have it the way we did in
Texas were super firm greens and then before it was
really soft because we just can't the trajector that we
hit it, we can't land it it was just stopping short,
whereas if it was a bit more burnt out at
the front, maybe they could have played it a bit better.
But it's just very frustrating because I've said this for years,
like par fives are way too long and part fours
are too short, and so it doesn't actually showcase the
(13:58):
talent on the LPGA, like nobody's going to go for power,
Like it doesn't benefit anyone that hits that long way.
It doesn't benefit it's someone who like hits their mid
Lindes fantastically well, like it just it's it basically is
a putting competition every single week, and it's really frustrating.
And so I point my facts out there with data
to back it up and what my opinion was.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
So yeah, that's just what I.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Said, which has changed, by the way, because I thought
making it harder as move it back. Actually it's completely
completely the opposite. We should be playing between sixty two
and sixty four hundred yards and no more than that.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I just heard from so many different people over the
last few weeks of like, oh, did you see Meles analysis?
Did you see Meles stuff a lot, just like you know,
related to the podcast or just completely. You know, obviously
they know that we're us, but it just it just
keeps coming up randomly in conversation and I'm like, yeah,
I know, I know she's good.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Well no, not me, but I do have to have
a lot of credit to Brand because he's taught me
that as well, Like he's taught me how to look
into it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I love that you have been able to lean on Brandle.
This is brand if you If you don't know, this
is Brandal Shambly who is a longtime analyst for Golf
Channel on Live from and he's brilliant in the way
that he presents his arguments and it's so smart of
you to lean on him because he's been doing this
for thirty years or something, I think. So, you know,
there's a way to present an argument, and you can
(15:21):
obviously lean on your experience as a player, but you
can only do that for so long and getting into
that next level of being an analyst really requires this
data driven approach.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
So yeah, good on Yamel.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Well and good for you for reaching out and wanting
to learn and wanting to I know, I know, you know,
minus the rose, minus the rose.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
We can let that go.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
So what have you been up to last week?
Speaker 3 (15:56):
You've been busy?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Well, I played a fine valley.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Them, I know you did. Where the fuck was my invite?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I'm not in charge.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
I I'm just very happy about it.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
I'm livid you.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
No, I'm living you for me. No, never, not when
I'm not invited to things that I want to be.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
A Okay, I will do my best.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Make your appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Take the Pine Valley Gods, thank you.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
I'm only joking. It looked amazing.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Was it good?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
So? I've played it once before and it was That
was a really short trip and it was kind of added.
I was already in New York and it was more
of just a come down for the day. But this
was like the full, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Two day experience.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I am so exhausted. So if people don't know what
Pine Valley is, it's the number one golf course.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
In the world.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Yeah, in the world.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
It's in New Jersey, about forty minutes from Philly, an
hour and fifteen from New York.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I've never tried so hard to save double.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Or like really or been okay with being like, you
know what, I'm in my pocket?
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Like, so is it? I didn't know, it's like, is
it Obviously it's challenging, but is it what makes it
so good then?
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Because I've never been.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I mean so for me, I mean it's there's a
lot of like force carries that are probably you know,
really difficult for me. A lot of you know, it
requires accuracy, like you're hitting into greens, like if you
don't hit the green in the right spot, you're now
putting yourself into a really difficult two putt, or if
you like the green, some of the greens are very small,
and all around it is just trouble, crazy bunkering and
(17:30):
you know these bunkers are like to get out of
them is the whole thing and in itself and it's
just yeah, it's the most intense.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Golf test ever.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
So for somebody like me as twelve handicap, I was
like solding on for survive. But I mean the golf
course is so engaging though, Like even though it's you know,
I was, I was, we were playing in like ninety
five degree heat in the humidity, and I still was
just so engaged on every shot because it's such an
incredibly designed place.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
And do you stay on site then? Is the lodgers
on site.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, staying in a really full cabin on site, and
the caddie Bastard was very nice and set us up
with fishing rods because they have they have all these
little lakes on the property, so apparently they were like,
you know, we're setting up some rods for the girls.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
After our.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
We went fishing behind our cabin and Hallie led Better
caught a fish.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Stop it? Did you cook it? No?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
No, catching really is?
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I mean we went to like a really nice dinner
at the club, but we just like we were like,
let's do it for the gram. Let's cast a couple
of rods and see what happens. And she reeled in
this tiny fish.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
But she reeled in and she goes, what do I do?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Now?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
We need to get somebody down here.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
You don't know how to hook it? Yeah she had.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
She had to take theo.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
But we were like, thank god nobody was on the
golf course at that time, because at four thirty in
the afternoon, we were.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Screaming because we got this What did you just bait?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
We like some fake were I don't know where they
got these tackle boxes. Yeah, they gave us everything. They
were so sweet. They like set up the rods, they
put the bait, they baited the hooks, they gave us
bugspray and towels and everything.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
I mean, that's awesome in it. It was that's such.
So who went so you Hallie?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
It was me, Halle g Hay and Marissa mar who
is the member there, and she is She's an incredibly
impressive person.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
She's so brilliant. She works for Chevron.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
She's okay, just lovely and hosted the most wonderful ladies.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
We'll get you to Chattingressa. Yeah, so it was really fun.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
But I I hit some great shots and I also
hit some shots that were I what I thought were great,
but just punished because I didn't quite have the accuracy
or the treaty actually, like you were.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Saying, if I just don't have the height with those shots,
I need to figure that out. I need to work
on that.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
And then I had some real shitty shots.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
But so good fun though. Did you have a couple
of transfusions on there? No?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
You know, I know, No, I was I was pretty
We're pretty tame, pretty tame, okay, yeah, all right, Yeah,
we had a glasses of wine at night and stuff.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Maybe I should take a leaf out of your book
is basically what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
A small leaf.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yeah, but what did I do all last week? This
is a problem. I can't remember what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
With No, dude, my memory's gone to ship. By the way,
I don't know why my memory is so shit. I
literally can't remember anything.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Because i'd gotten back from London. Have we talked about London?
Speaker 4 (20:45):
No, I don't know. I got I don't know if
we have.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
I to be honest with you, I can't remember I
was in London.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah, we hadn't talk about So I got back from London.
I was home for two days that.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
We moved into our new house, and then I immediately
got on the floor Prime Valley.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
That's what I was doing. No wonder, I can't remember.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
How do you do that?
Speaker 4 (21:03):
How do you please help me?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
How do you do that? I?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Well, I don't drink as much as I used to,
and I.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I think that because my body just doesn't know where
it is permanently that I'm pretty good.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Fair.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Yeah, I've been taking some magnesium.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I'm on my health journey right now.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Oh yeah, can we talk about that?
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Okay, what's what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Well, I did all of my blood work, so I
still I am waiting for a bunch of other tests
to come in and there we're going to do a
full breakdown of everything. But I had to do a
stool test, which was disgusting. I had to do a
se bow test, which is a place cebo is some
bacteria that could potentially be growing in your intestine, breast test.
(21:48):
So they mailed me that all this. It took three
hours to do this breath test. It was crazy, and
I had to drink some nasty drink.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
How did it take three hours?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Just keep breathing because it was it was like every
twenty minutes you would breathe into the two So it
was like you you would breathe into it and then
twenty minutes later you breathe into it again, and then
you drink the drink, and that like affects the way
that what might be happening in your stomach, then you
like and then as it works its way through your
digestive system, you continue.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
To do the thing blood ye, how you've proper no
stone unturned it.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
No stone on turned.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
And then I also did like a separate prick blood
test where you know, I'm like such a wooss with
this type where you know, you have to do the
little thing where it like pricks your finger and hurts
and you had to like fill in all these circles
with blood.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Sorry if anyone's squeamish.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Yeah, so we'll see. So I mailed all of those off,
and I still like, I.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Get did you mail your poop?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I did mail my poop.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Yeah, some fans got hold of that one of us.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Oh no, they asked me for socks and underwear. Okay,
they don't ask for that.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
No.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
You know.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
The thing is because I actually really want to do
this because I've didn't like intolerance shit, and like I
am the intolerant. I'm intolerant to weak.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Which is really fustrating.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Yeah you told me that, Yeah, yeah, you know. But
I want to get proper and proper want to get
into it because there's something not going right with me.
Like maybe it's me putting things in there, but like
there's something not right with me. And I want to
do a full body like I you know, I've got
a sun now, Like I want to be healthy and
I need to change my life started it because I'm
you know, I just can't.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
I just can't part like I used to.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah, it's definitely a combination of age and traveling so much.
But usually I've been able to manage it for the
most part.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
But lately I've really been.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Feeling extra horrible, extra bloated, extra lethargic.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
To be honest, Svine, I've been actually probably better behave
the last three months, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Like, I've been taking pretty good care of my swird,
isn't it?
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:48):
What am I eating?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
And I just really hope they find something because if
they don't, okay, cool.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Then I just.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
What's funny, isn't it? Like I'm not obviously obsessed with
this stuff even though I don't do it. But it's funny,
isn't it? Like I just I don't know. Do you
think it's the food that we eat? Now? Like?
Speaker 4 (24:08):
What is it? Is it food?
Speaker 2 (24:11):
I think it's definitely.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I think it's there's I think that our bodies, well
who knows this is not science, so doctor Kia.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
My dad's a doctor, so that gives me.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Yeah, missus, miss.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
I think that our bodies, you know, change and evolve
over time, and we can develop intolerances and certain reactions
to things. So I think maybe over time and my
body has developed some sort of sensitivity to something that
maybe in the past I could process gluten as well,
(24:45):
or dairy or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
I really hope it's not dairy.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Really really that would really suck.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Yeah, that would be really devastating.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
I also generally don't think I drink an afore like.
I don't.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
I'm a bit like my dad, like I do do
it because it's fine. That's true.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Well that's what I do as well, though, Kira. I
struggle with the waters.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Like Carlie is unbelievable with water intake, like almost some
session on possession, whereas I just I think it's weird,
Like I want to drink out. This is probably not
very interesting. But if I buy a bottle of water,
I will drink it. If I have a cup like this,
I will take me all day.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
To drink it. It's like a psychological thing. I don't know,
it's weird.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Maybe you need to put some flavor in it or something, yeah,
I don't know. Or put it in a water bottle
instead of a cup.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah maybe, I don't know. I just find it weird
because I've never done that. I don't know. Yeah, I
need to do this. I'm going to do it as well.
I need to look into this.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
I'm going to do it. So you've not had any
result back.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
No results back.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
So I'm going to continue to keep our listeners slash
you updated on my health journey.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
But all the tests are done. That's the intet forever
to do the tests.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Right. Well, you're breathing into a fucking bag for three
hours and then you've got to wait to have a pooh.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Yeah yeah, oh my god. The collection. Oh okay, I'm sorry.
We don't need to go.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
And I know what it is because I've had to
do one.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Look, Carli had to do one once as well.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Yeah gross, it's gross. Okay. So we had a very
nice weekend as well. We went so Saturday, Carlie played,
My wife played Do you Want Basketball? If anyone doesn't know,
she played at Drake. She was a bit of a baller, Okay.
I don't like to admit that she was probably more
athletic than me, but she probably was.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
I have never in the seven years that we have
been together seeing her play basketball, like she doesn't play anymore.
And so we have a Farmer's market down by the
beach where we go to, which I'm obsessed with from
home obviously because that's like so my vibe. And they
pick up basketball, and I made Carlie as I look,
when I'm back, you have to go and play and
I'll just take car with me to the farmer's market
(26:36):
for a couple hours. And she fucking did, and she
played basketball and she bawled out. She said, in her words,
I've played so fucking good. So she's modest as she
ever has been, but apparently she killed it, and I
was really proud of her.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Did you watch No, No, what was I meant to?
I think maybe next time you should watch a little bit. Really,
she's probably watched you play golf so much, and like,
hadn't walk around a hot stupid golf course.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
You just left.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
I got even go Carly.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
No.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
I had Kai and he was like freaking out. I
think Kai wants to see his mom ball out.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Well, we watched for like, I got a picture. We
watched for like a minute, but then he was just
he wanted to fuck around. So I was like, yeah,
let's go, let's go get some carrots and stuff.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Carrots are more interesting than pick up basketball.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Yeah, well I made a Sunday roasts. It was actually
very good. It was a lamb roast dinner. So you're
good that you get the whole family ships. Yeah, so
I clearly did something wrong which no ideal.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
So Mel's currently going through it.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
I currently have the ships. I now get it to
my wife who now has the ships. And I'm pretty sure.
I've just looked at Kay's daycare and he's had a
third bottle movement today, so I'm pretty sure he's.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Now got the ships. So there's a lot of poopa this,
this a lot of proof on this show.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
I apologize, Well, fucking hell tell you what though, what
dedication I am that I'm potentially shitting my pants and
I'm still.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
Here and giving it.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Listens for the ship for the soccer's ship talkers, exactly.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Did you watch any golf over the weekend?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Yes, I did watch the end of the Rocket Mortgage.
Actually very very good finish, very good finish.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I have whole playoff.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Aldric pop Geater, Chris Kirk and Max Grazerman.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Aldric twenty years old from South Africa.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
One big as well, a powerful bloke.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Longest drive on the PGA tour.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
I can't be if he's only twenty.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Can't rent a car, I can't have a beer, I
can't do it anything. No, except for win on the
PGA too. I mean that's insane, Like, no, I don't
win on the PGA tour is insane.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Well, he came close to a couple months ago.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Yeah he did. I mean lots of people come close
and never win.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
And for to actually do it and get over the
line is wild, especially in a five hole playoff, and
he made a huge putt to do it. Nice kid.
His dad is really cool. I see his dad out
a lot, always happy to chat.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
So did he grow up in Australia, What was the
what was the thing there?
Speaker 2 (29:14):
I think he was born in South Africa.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I think he moved to Australia when he was like
eight or something like that, and then I moved back
to South Africa. Because of COVID there weren't a lot
of playing opportunities in Australia.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
At the time, right, Yeah, that makes sense, and probably
didn't want to get stuck there either because they were
shutting and not in a bad way.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
I'm just saying they were shutting.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Boded.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
No, it was crazy. They had crazy, crazy COVID stuff.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Have you been to South Africa?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
No, I've never been to South Africa, not in Australia.
Sound realty in Africa? Did I tell you about Andrew
Is going on a horse safari?
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Excuse me, my husband and his mom, not me, are right,
because I don't want to want to go.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
I was invited.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
H they are going on safari in Africa on horseback.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
So what happens if an elephant charges.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
At you or a lion?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Well, yes, obviously trying to be nice a lion. Well
are they going to have a guide? Obviously? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Yeah, yeah, Yeah, it's like, oh, they'll be fine, They'll
be fine.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Yeah, but I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
I don't know about navigating animals that want to eat
my well, no.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Yeah, I would agree. Good for him, I say.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Yeah, but no, I've never been.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
At the closest I've gotten to that part of the
world is Morocco, which doesn't count as far as No.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Yeah, the rest of the continent goes.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
I mean it's beautiful. Yeah, Africa is beautiful.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
I would love to do that.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
We had will Edams there and I got a report
back from the English golf, women's golf that apparently I
had too many milkshakes on the trip.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Were they spiked milkshakes?
Speaker 3 (30:49):
No, no, no, no, I was like sixteen. I was
addicted to milkshakes. I was completely addicted to milkshakes that
week and that's all I would eat, like I wouldn't
have anything else, which.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Is really odd. I don't know why I just went
through it.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
I was a bit weird when I was a kid,
and I literally could half makes sense, but funn enough,
we're talking about it. I literally shipped myself literally when
I was playing golf. Like honestly, some of my mates
who were in that squad think, oh my god, I
remember when you shake yourself when you had to run
in and who could forget I know. Yeah, some weird
things have happened to me in Africa. Actually got ut
(31:22):
I there as well. Well, got you on the way over.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
That was awful.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
I'm so sorry. That sounds horrible.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
What's the I thing.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Assist or.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
No when it closes up condrinct about us?
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Yeah, I got that as well on the plane and
my best mate Brian was like sleeping next to me
and she then got it. Yeah, lots of weird things
have happened to be in Africa.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Okay, maybe I'll skip this. You know where I want
to go to New Zealand. New Zealand's cool. I want
to go play golf there.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
No, you have to do it to Okay, stunning, standing, stunning.
I just which it happens to me there.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
You shouldn't go, I'll go.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
I shouldn't go. You should go. Yeah, unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
I've actually never vince Queenstown and that is somewhere that
I'm desperate to go.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah, I need Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
So anyway, shout out to Aldrich, good job winning, very impressive.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
So yeah, the Masters and two years on the tour
and all that. He gets a a bunch of cool
stuff from it. Over on the LPGA, we had a playoff.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Yeah, that championship a team event, very fun. It was
actually a playoff with Lexi Thompson, Megan Kang. Lexi's playing
unbelievable by the way, now she's like.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Unretired, she's not playing a full schedule.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
And then but Sony Lee and jin So somy Lee.
What was that last working was in KPMG. It was
another event recently and I was like, this girl's gonna
win very soon. She's very, very fucking good. So, yeah,
the team event is actually a really fun event. I
usually play that every year is a good one. Then
your partner in the past, Collotta Sigander randomly Suo one year,
(33:03):
and then Brontie and Leona Maguire. Yeah, great, great vibes
all around. Yeah, but Lexi Omega Kang.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Mecan's never won, has she?
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Yeah, she went in Canada, I'll but she should be
winning a lot more than she does because she's very
very good as well, is very amazing, and she's a
great personality hilarious.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yeah, she should get around the show.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
Yeah, we should actually should be fun.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
I think somebody who had requested her, Yeah, she'd be
really fun.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
And uh so why is Lexi playing so good? What's
going on with Lexi's kame?
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Fuck? Well, listen, I'm probably gonna get slam for this.
But this is just my opinion and it is our podcast,
so I should be in tarde my opinion. I don't
necessarily think she went about announce announcing her retirement from
full time play. I think she could do it again.
Definingly she would because it's very confusing for a lot
of people. I think if she just wanted to reduce
(33:55):
her playing schedule, I think probably she should have just
naturally done that and then commented on it if she
was getting a lot of kind of attention about it.
But listen, I don't blame next. See like she's been
a child star since she was twelve years old, Like
she's probably she's burnt out, Like I get it. She
has a lot of pressure, Like she honestly brings in
so many fans on the LPGA, so she has a
(34:15):
lot of commitment to stuff, and.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
She says yes to everything, she shows.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Up to everything. She's brilliant, like she's I cannot follow
her to anything, And honestly, since saying that she's not
playing a full schedule, she's been playing great. I think
that she's now allowing herself a bit of time off,
which is very good for her because she's been, like
I said, literally acting like a professionals since she was
like eleven years old, So it's good for her. I
just think, like I thought she was retiring, and I
(34:41):
think a lot of other people did. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Yeah, regardless of if she said retire not retire, that
all argument, the branding behind it.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Was like from a pr perspective, not the.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Best, no, because we had like flyovers for her and like, yeah,
big paintings made for her in like Canadas.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
It was the last Canadian putting things like that.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
So but look, she's playing great and she still has games,
she's engaged, she's way happier outside the game.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
It's great for the LPGA for her to continue to play,
like the LPGA needs her of course.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Yeah, so it's great for everybody. Yeah, yeah, so whatever
it takes.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Whatever it takes. But yeah, she's each their own. I
guess maybe I shouldn't, Yeah, each their own.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
But no, I mean I think it's fair to say, like, okay,
that was weird, but also like happy that she's playing, well, very.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
Happy she's playing for Amazon.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
It's literally amazing, Like so many little girls and honestly
little boys are out there like wanting to be Lexi.
Like it's really cool, totally, like you can just tell
the Lexi fan. It's like a Rickey fan, like the
pr and like the ribbon and the visor and the
colorful glow and so I don't know, it's just very it's.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Very a XI fan.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Yeah yeah, a mile away.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
From a mile away, absolute mile away.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Completely unrelated.
Speaker 1 (35:50):

our besies, as you would say. We were talking about

And also us in the show and what we're doing
because we kind of, you know, like we know what
we're doing and we know what we wanted to do
when we came into this, but we're still really figuring
it out and kind of seeing what sticks. Yeah, it's
nice to hear that people that is very sweet care
and are listening and spend an hour of their day
with us, because that's you know, time is the most
(38:32):
important resource.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Yeah, it is. As Actually, the friend that we went
to the pool for low with Kayes today and one
of our friends who remember the donkey ride, Yes, who
could forget Yeah, So we were at the pool with
them and she's like, she's awesome, Spencer's hilarious. And she's like, so,
I don't listen to every episode, but I've been told
that you were talking about the Paying two and I
was like, oh shit, and she went, Babes, it's not
(38:54):
a donkey. It was a pony, okay, And she's like,
with boogie up in here. In one of it was
a pony. I'm not letting some random kids riding on
a donkey. She's a pony. So I just wanted to cry.
It was a pony pony ride, not a donkey ride.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
I can't believe that you messed up a donkey and
a pony.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
Well fucking hell, they look like the same thing to me.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
No, they do not. Yes, pony is so majestic.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Donkeys are sick.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
Yeah they're sick, but they're not ponies.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
So what is a donkey? Gray? Usually I think Okay,
well I didn't know it was a pony. I apologize
to the pony. I thought it was a donkey, so
it's not I got told off yesterday.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Ologies to the ponies out there.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Yeah, I do apologize because now thinking of it, I
realized it was a pony because it had really pretty
hair and it was plattered and stuff.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
Yeah, there's nothing against donkeys, but like, no to these
two things are not the same anyway.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
So I just wanted to listen.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
I admit when I when I mess up, and I
just wanted to confirm it was not a donkey that
my son is riding, and that other children it was
a pony.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Okay, shout out Spencer and friends. And also maybe they
should start listening to every episode if they.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
Really exactly thank you, That's what I said. So what
you doing this week?
Speaker 4 (40:11):
I'm mixed tread.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Are you going away again this week?
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Uh? Let's see, it's July fourth coming up, so we
spend a little bit of time in Lake Tahoe. I'm
looking forward to and then I'm going to spend lots
of time figuring out my new house. Yeah, if there's
any furniture companies out there, that want to sponsor me.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Yeah, you let me know.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
So I'm dealing with that.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
This is actually some adult advice here, But it will
take it, you know what It's like, it does take
like a year to really fit it because you're like,
you buy stuff that you sometimes Yeah, I just bought
that just to get through it for three months and then.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
Yeah yeah yeah, so just yeah, try and figure out
my life.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
My next work event isn't until the American Century, which
is the Tahoe Celebrity Event, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Which is super fun. I used to play in that.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Actually playing in that event was a big part of
my professional development because it gave me credibility from a
playing perspective, which is something that you really do need in.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Golf or not.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
It just established my credibility of understanding the sport and
that oh you can hang on that level. And it
allowed me to create relationships with a lot of celebrities
outside of golf and helped me develop that skill set.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
So then I.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Think almost four or five years ago, NBC came to
me and they were like, you know, we'd love to
have you continue to play, but if you'd like to work,
you're happy to have you work the event.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
And the whole point of me wanting to play in
that was.
Speaker 1 (41:37):
To be able to grow and make relationships and network
so that I could get those types of opportunities. And
so immediately I switched from playing in the event to
working the event, because you know, that's a week that
I'm interviewing Steph Curry and johns Kelsey, Charles Barkley, and
it's a whole different Bowl game. It's so much fun
to put on. American Century puts on an amazing event.
(42:00):
So that's my next work thing. Yeah, but I've got
a little bit of time off until then, which is
quite nice.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
What about you.
Speaker 3 (42:06):
We're going to Denver, Well, we're going to Fort Collins actually, yeah,
because I know we're looking to move there eventually full time.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
So one of my best friends is from Fort Collins.
Speaker 3 (42:15):
We love it absolutely Well, I'm I just love Colorado
like I'm a mountain girl, but I fell in love
with Colorado.
Speaker 4 (42:20):
We went for a wedding in Golden.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
Oh, Golden's so cute, beautiful, it's beautiful. What are you
guys going to do? You're gonna hike, and yeah, hike.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
We've got a few hikes planned and then there's like
cool things, like like Carli's got to work some of it,
but I'll just take high hiking.
Speaker 4 (42:35):
In the morning.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
There's some cool museums and we've already found a couple
of really cool breweries that we like, ye that have
like live music on and stuff, and it's superkid friendly.
So you were just going to go hang, see what
it's like, meet some people.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
How do you think you would do in the winter there?
Speaker 4 (42:50):
Absolutely fine.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
Yeah, I know you like to snowboard, but I actually
reddish the cold weather. And it's still like very sunny
in Colorado, like they have three in a days of sun,
so it's not like miserable miserable.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
I love Colorado and they have amazing public golf.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
Shocked by the quality of it as well. It's beautiful,
it's very It reminds me of what you must have
grown up with, just having such easy access to high quality, beautiful,
cheap golf.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
So I just it's the one place, honestly like in America.
Because I would move back to England obviously, Carli was like,
well my family here, I can't And I'm like, okay,
well I would never move to Nebraska, and you know,
no fence or just not my vibe. So our middle
ground was well, the one place that I actually feel
at peace, because we've never really felt peace of Florida.
It's funny. It's Colorado, Like it's one place. It's not funny,
(43:40):
is it? But now it's not.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
Pride.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
Everyone just can't be gay here. Now it's it, but
it's just different on here. So it's the one place
that I've like been and not wanted to come home.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:56):
Well, selfishly, I would love for you to be in
Colorado because you've been a few times, sir, And uh.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
It would be easier to come out and.
Speaker 3 (44:03):
Like play Pine Valley.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
Well that's in New Jersey. But yes, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
Oh yeah, I was thinking more like record a pod
in person or something.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
Yeah, or we could like go funk off to like
a cool course in Colorado or like.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
Or we could go skiing and Beaver Creek.
Speaker 3 (44:19):
Oh my god, we could. Yes, absolutely don't like Taho.
Whatever you need care, I'm yours.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
Oh did you want to hear about my London trip
at all? Are you good at that?
Speaker 2 (44:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (44:27):
I'm good, Thank you?
Speaker 1 (44:31):
Well, I already made you feel like shit when I
was sending you pictures of my apperl sprintss.
Speaker 3 (44:36):
I literally was telling you off what I meant.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
I got a voice note that just said fuck you.
Speaker 3 (44:43):
I was like, oh, my flight to Frisco, Texas, and
you send me this apple spirits and a big on
thirty degree celsius heat, and I just went fuck you.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
I was so pleased with myself.
Speaker 3 (44:54):
I bet you were. Was it good?
Speaker 2 (44:56):
It was amazing. We did a lot more, almost like
urban hiking.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
This time. We just went to there's so many amazing
green spaces in and around London, and we did a
day trip to Hampton Court to King Henry Yate's palace,
which I love. I love that whole drama, his six wives.
I have to see the original painting of fan Bulin.
It was pumped about and it was just yeah, it
was gorgeous. Well, London in the summertime, it's gorgeous, isn't
(45:22):
it my favorite? I've been to London three times in
the last year. All of a sudden, I decided I'm
a big fan of London.
Speaker 4 (45:28):
Well done.
Speaker 3 (45:28):
I like it. Well, it's quite easy to get to
as well, isn't it. Especially you just get.
Speaker 1 (45:32):
Direct direct flight from San Francisco to London. And I
have all these miles that I've accumulated from all the
other stuff that I do. So I was I got
I got two round trip business class tickets with my miles.
Speaker 3 (45:47):
That's okay, that's very impressive. Do you know who he
is the most impressive person doing that? Who?
Speaker 4 (45:52):

Speaker 3 (45:54):
Oh? Because she can flies to Australia for free in
like first class for like a week, insane, for like
two thousands.
Speaker 2 (46:00):
I like, what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (46:03):
She's so good?
Speaker 4 (46:03):
I know, she's so good. She's incredible with finding that stuff.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
We've had her on the show, so she's her.

Her interview is coming up soon, but maybe we need
to have her on again just to give it, just
to help people, Yes.
Speaker 3 (46:14):
Like a little just a little popping guests like fifteen
minutes too toy on how to travel the world for
probably five hundred dollars a year.

a travel segment.
Speaker 3 (46:25):
Do you have a shush of the week as well?
Speaker 2 (46:26):
I have a shish of the week.
Speaker 1 (46:27):
My shush of the week are I don't know if
you've noticed lately on Instagram, I've been getting a lot
of I don't know if you've been getting these too,
a lot of those bot accounts that are of like
girls that it's like.
Speaker 2 (46:41):
Cam girls, what's a cam go?
Speaker 1 (46:44):
Like girls that make money off of doing sexual things
on camera and you can like go in the live
stream or something like that.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
I don't know those types of girls, but I don't
think they're real.
Speaker 1 (46:56):
I think they're bots that comment on every single one
of your podcast. I like to put myself out there
or just looking to make friends or I might be smart,
but I'm feeling stupid.
Speaker 3 (47:12):
Algorithm.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
No, there comments being on all of I'm not like
that guy that I know. I'm getting comments from all
of these like weird bought accounts and on the Quiet
please account too.
Speaker 4 (47:25):
Oh that's bit rude, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
I know, so my show's just to the weird sexual
bought ladies on Instagram please go away. And I used
to never get those types of things, and now I'm
just like actively trying to clear them out so that
people don't like scroll.
Speaker 4 (47:44):
Through the comments on them on my account.
Speaker 2 (47:46):
M hmmm, weird.
Speaker 3 (47:52):
I think we've spoken enough about poo and stuff today,
so I'm going to say my other show enough is
I'm not or AI at the minute, Like I'm not
caught up on it, right, So, like if I read
something on my Instagram, it's clearly AI, but I still
think that it's not Like I think it's real.
Speaker 4 (48:11):
Oh, and it frustrates me because.
Speaker 2 (48:13):
I'm you're like faring for it.
Speaker 3 (48:15):
Well, then I have to actually google it and go
is this real? And then I realize that it's not real.
So it's just for strained to me. I'm like, that
could have been real.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
At least you're googling it and realizing it. Because can
you imagine there's a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (48:27):
Up there that believe it.
Speaker 2 (48:28):
I believe everything they see. And yeah, do you use
chat GBT at all?
Speaker 3 (48:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (48:33):
What do you use it for?
Speaker 3 (48:34):
Oh? God, lots of things? Medical diagnosises? I actually do quite.
I do quite a lot for Carly's workouts.
Speaker 2 (48:41):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (48:42):
Like food, Like if I want to like do a
certain nutritional like balance of protein and stuff, I do that.
I just get random things as well. I won't name
who is, but a good friend of ours she told
me that she uses it with therapy.
Speaker 1 (48:55):
She is it's unbelievable, so a good I have a
good friend of ours that uses it to she said.
She asked it, what do you think my biggest fear
is okay, okay, okay. So this friend also she asked
it to describe our friend group and went through each
(49:16):
of the names and to not only describe each of
those people, which is scary that you can tell it
this random name and that it knows who you're talking about,
but to also compare it to a Disney character and why.
Speaker 2 (49:30):
And it was so spot on. It was mine was yea.
Mine was Belle from Beauty and the Beast.
Speaker 1 (49:37):
Oh, that makes total sense, but the description was just
so yeah, it was really.
Speaker 3 (49:44):
Oh that's wild, isn't It hit the nail on the head.
Speaker 2 (49:48):
So we'll have to have her do it for you
to see what Disney character.
Speaker 3 (49:54):
The Beast.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
No, I feel like you would get that Scott girl
with the red hair from Bray.
Speaker 3 (50:03):
Right.
Speaker 4 (50:04):
I'm starting to get stomach cramps, so I'm going to

and Mel here. Very happy to have you all with
us as usual.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Mel, we haven't had a solo app in a while,
so we've thought it going to be fun to catch up.
We've both been crazy on the road. It seems like
things are maybe settling down a little bit.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
But how are you.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I'm good, Yeah, I'm really good. Just thriving, mate, absolutely thriving.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
We were just talking to Z.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
But I now realize that as when you're traveling a lot,
you immune system's a bit down, isn't it, And then
you think you can act normal when you get home,
and you really can't, and you actually do have to
take a little bit of self care.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I'm just learning that.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
So yeah, hey, but you know what life's about learning,
isn't it? And you make these mistakes. And I realized
that I can't just go full throttle like I normally do,
especially be on the road for quite a significant amount
of time.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
So I'm trying to be better at that.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I think we're just uh we used to be able
to do it, like maybe five years ago, but.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Now yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Our bodies are revolted. Too old for this.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Ship, We are too old for this shit, but we thrive.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Do you know what?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Lesson learned?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
And do you know what, I'm way a bit behaved
now than it ever was. But I still just can't
do it, Like, I just can't do it. Can't you
can't do like like a well not even a night
of drinking, Like I'm in bed early because of him.
But like, you know, I have to really, I have
to just really be more considerate about what I put
in my body than I ever have before.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
And it's really fucking annoying. I like nice things.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah I don't like nice things.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I buy a bag of Trial Bright crawlers, you know
this worms, the surgummy worms from the from the air
in the airport last night. I don't know why, it
just really spoke to me and I crushed most of
the bag and I got home and I just was
my stomach was not like what what did I do?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Why would I do this?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I know it's nuts. Yeah, but okay, I know that,
Like I feel like, I feel like your airport's pretty
good at this San Francisco, but there's a ton of
healthy options like at all and it's really annoying.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
And I was in the Philly airport yesterday, so you know,
it was bleak.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Oh my god, So I forgot how bad for the
airport is. It's horrific for the airport might be one
of the worst airports we've been too.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I think it's the worst.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Philly Toronto are my two worst. San Francisco is amazing,
especially depending on the terminal you're into. But I mean
we've got like full on beautiful restaurants and Pokemon and sushi,
and you know.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
The robot, the coffee robot. You know, I love that thing.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You love that thing, love the coffee. We should get
one for the new house.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yes, it does take up quite a bit of rooms. Okay,
I don't think I need an entire robot. I do
just have like a brevel that I can make coffee in.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yeah, and Andrew, You've got Andrew as well.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I have Andrew.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah, but Andrew's not a big he can get the
coffee going.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
But he's not like a barista.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Okay, so he's just normal.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yes, we do. We do have a new house.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I started getting some fan mail at the old so surprising.
That's why we moved. I so appreciate all the fans.
I know that we're big Emmy winners now, so.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I should bring a lot of mail.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
But we uh.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I was scrolling Zillow as one does and.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Say, she's my favorite Helby by the way, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Happened upon this house and still in San Francisco, but
in a different neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
And we're like, you know what, let's just put it offer,
let's see you never know, And it happened. It happened,
And I forgot how stressful moving is.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
It's like so much paperwork, so many phone calls, so
much crap. We have so much stuff. It's been good
to get rid of a lot of stuff. But I
haven't been this stressed out in a long time. And
that's saying something.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
That is saying something.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Actually, do you not think when you move house as well,
that you realize how little things you actually need?
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Yeah, and you know why to have all this shit,
Like I don't need.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Anything or the things that we do have I'm like,
oh yeah, but this was my big win. In the
new house, my new closet is, as you can imagine,
I have a lot of golf stuff, and I have
a lot of stuff stuff and a lot of work stuff.
I have more than your average person's fair share of
blazers and more than your average person's fair share of
(04:54):
golf clothes just because of the nature of my life, which.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I'm very grateful for and all of that.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
But in my old house, those all those items were
split between multiple closets and just packed the brim. And
now because I went through everything, I really edited everything down.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
All of my worldly.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Possessions fit into one closet. Well done, you and I
walk into it and I can see everything.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Oh stop, it is it like a walking closet?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Then yeah, yeah, it's not like a.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Giant walking closet, but it's big enough to where I
can walk in see all my stuff. I've got, Like
my my purses are all up displayed, I've got like
some cool accessories that are all out, and then like
all my shoes are all beautifully But yeah, it's like
it's a great.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Yeah, we need to fix that. Maybe in the next house.
We've just we've got shit everywhere. Yeah, we really need
to deck a little bit.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Next house.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Yeah, next house. We'll save it to the next house.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, what have you been doing this week? I like
I even because we didn't do a catch up episode
last week.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
We did the interview with Jeff Brighton, so I feel
like I'm two weeks by hind on you.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, like, oh KPMG.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah, okay, yeah, all the way back. Yeah, talking about
why it might be tired even though it's a week.
When I got home, Yeah, KPg was awesome. A Frisco
was hot as balls. It was really windy as well,
so the girls had an absolute treacherous time trying to
manage that golf course and you know, like you know
what it's like when you're on a set and for
(06:25):
some reason the windslike we couldn't keep anything like on
the desk.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
It's actually a massive pain in the ass.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
But it was a great week me, Amanda Blumenhurst and
Anna Jackson. Yeah, we did some five hour shows Tuesday.
Wednesday was great because we had a bunch of guests
and it actually really kind of mellowed out the day
and it was great to get some people on and
we got like Ollie, who's Jeff's really good friend. Another Caddie,
we got him on. We've got Craig Kester on a
(06:53):
bunch of players. So it's really it changed the dynamic,
really cool.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
How was Craig.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
He's shot Cookie. I'm very impressed with him so far.
This is the new commissioner of the commissioner of the LPGA.
Very impressed with him. He's lovely, he seems to just
get it. Yeah, I've spoke to a few times actually
during that week, and he was I think he's going
to be great. I'm very excited for him.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
And so I was so well behaved all week, Like
I think I had maybe one drink, maybe two drinks
a night, like because obviously I'm so sure I have
to have it on the road. Like it just keeps
me saying. I was some nights didn't even drink like
I was. I was like, right now, it's eight that
nine week, like, just you know, you've got big week
this week, Just you know, don't be tired. And then
(07:37):
Sunday finishes, and I said to it and I said, god,
I just want to glass rose A to you.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
She was like, oh my.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
God, Yeah, I was like, right, I'll get I'll get
a bottle on the way home. She's like perfect. There
was like an outdoor area at the top of the hotel.
It was actually really nice.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Well me be me. I thought better get too, So.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
That's in case, just you and Anna.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Me and Anna and like a couple other people on
the production team. But we didn't realize that didn't really
drink that much. So, like Chloe had a couple of
glasses to be fair. So basically it was us three,
but not really it was mean Anna. We drank them
and then I was like, oh my god, let's go
down the bar.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
And get it on.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
So that's the mistake. That's always the mistake of getting.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
The third bottle, I know, because then you've had one
over one bottle.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
You're probably gonna be a little bit gross tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Yeah. Anyway, long story short, go to my room. Common
what time it is. I go to my room. I'm
obviously lit. And anyway, my flight was at seven and
I get a phone call through the hotel. I get
called at seven o five. It's my wife, Carly. We
see and she's like, hey, you at the airport. I'm
like no, She's like calling me at the hotel obviously,
(08:45):
so I think she's silly. So then she's like, well,
you flies in ten minutes, and I was like, shit,
I look down and I've got a T shirt on,
no uderwear and one sock and I was like, don't worry, babes,
I'm going to get in the next one. And I
was like, oh my god, Oh my god. I hate
missing flights. I hate missing flights more than anything. I'd
rather like rarely have. I'd rather suffer horrifically on the
(09:05):
flight and just get home. Yeah, so anyway, I have
a quick shower, still managed to only put one sock
on for some strange revision which I didn't realize until
I went through security, and then managed to get in
the next flight anyway somehow, like got to the airport,
dropped my car off, like I was just like, oh
my god, I actually felt okay. I had a bag
of Doritos, and I sat next to perfect perfect Nancy
(09:28):
and Dennis or whatever their names were, and they would
not shut the fuck up.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
I was obviously in the middle seat.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I had to rebook my flight, and they would you know,
when you just want to sleep and dribble. Yeah, And
like I was in comfortalk because I only had one
sock on, Like, you know, you can feel your foot,
can't yet, It's gross, It's disgusting. Yeah, and like I'm
already sweaty because I've had to rush there and stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
So and you know that we hate being hungover out
of flight. I hate it three worst things.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Maybe top two, and yeah, I still do it. So
but this was a state. This was after a long stretch,
and I felt great for a while. Then then I
remember standing up thinking, oh, dear, like I've definitely drank
too much rosa here. So anyway, I get home, fucking hell,
I had to act normal, you know what I mean,
you know, you get you're like, hey, yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I'm not that tired, and fine.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
What was Carly's she was?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
She didn't show it that much. She was actually pretty
solid about it. She was like, oh, whatever, like things happened.
But yeah, by the way, looking after a child hung
over it as horrific because I'm obviously like, this is
obviously not I feel bad because I'm like, you don't
deserve to have half of me. So then I'm like
over the top and I'm like so present with him,
and I'm like, well, fucking I'm exhausted by the end
(10:42):
of the night.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Obviously you're just dying.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Yeah, and no literally like I'm literally throwing it.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Basically emotionally, I'm like, you're an idiot. So yeah, that
was me.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
So I did miss my first celebrate the Great Week, the.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Great Week a KPMG The Great Yeah, that was great.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
I lived in Dallas. That was fantastic.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yeah, and it was just a long I felt like
it was a quite a long week because of like
the win and they were playing slow, like six hours
to play two balls.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Okay, So you had this really great piece on Live
from that with mini viral. So many people were talking
about the great points that you made. Now, thank you,
thank you such a such a great analyst. So if
anybody didn't see it, can you please explain what that was?
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah, So basically in a I mean, I don't fact
check all of its I can't don't mindymous in front
of me. But so basically I can't take all the credit.
I actually rang Brandle because I know he does his research.
And anyway, I rang Brandal just before I was going
on air, and I said, look, we're going to talk
about corsep and I don't want to. Just what I've
learned being an analysis is like you can't. I've always
(11:51):
just had an opinion, But if you really want to
be a good analyst, you have to back it up.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
With facts, right like you just I didn't. I've now
learning that.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
So basically, the girls were playing in six hours in
like a two ball like it was absurd, and my
opinion was that it was called setup. So the girls
at KPMG were playing just over six thousand, five hundred
at the Travelers they were playing at the word PGA
event the same week we're playing. It's just over six thousand,
seven hundred and forty or something. So there's only two
(12:20):
hundred and forty yard different when actually, long story short,
it should be eleven hundred yards different because the average
driving distance and the LPGA compared to the men and
the average seventy nine and the LPGA compared to the
men's it's around over eighteen holes, is around one one
hundred yards.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
So in layman's terms, the just the distance so women
have is significantly less at that level. So the course
setup should be appropriately reflecting that, and it's not the
way that the current setups are.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah, so the average driving distance, and the LPGA is
about two sixty And that's me being a bit generous,
by the way, when I was looking at it, and
the average PGA tour is three hunds. Now that the average
seven to nine is one fifty for women and one
eighty for men, So that's seventy yards different over eighteen holes,
give a take eleven hundred yards. Now, the problem is
I was trying to compare it to travelers that same week,
(13:12):
which is two hundred and forty yard difference when it
needed to be eleven hundred. So then I did the
PGA when it was at quail Hollo a few weeks ago,
and it was about one thousand yard different. But the
problem is with women as well, and this is what
infuriates me, is there so the difference was one thousand yards,
so we're already playing at one hundred yards further back.
We don't hit it as high, we don't spin it
as much, so we have to have soft greens like
(13:34):
and we can't have it the way we did in
Texas were super firm greens and then before it was
really soft because we just can't the trajector that we
hit it, we can't land it it was just stopping short,
whereas if it was a bit more burnt out at
the front, maybe they could have played it a bit better.
But it's just very frustrating because I've said this for years,
like par fives are way too long and part fours
are too short, and so it doesn't actually showcase the
(13:58):
talent on the LPGA, like nobody's going to go for power,
Like it doesn't benefit anyone that hits that long way.
It doesn't benefit it's someone who like hits their mid
Lindes fantastically well, like it just it's it basically is
a putting competition every single week, and it's really frustrating.
And so I point my facts out there with data
to back it up and what my opinion was.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
So yeah, that's just what I.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Said, which has changed, by the way, because I thought
making it harder as move it back. Actually it's completely
completely the opposite. We should be playing between sixty two
and sixty four hundred yards and no more than that.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I just heard from so many different people over the
last few weeks of like, oh, did you see Meles analysis?
Did you see Meles stuff a lot, just like you know,
related to the podcast or just completely. You know, obviously
they know that we're us, but it just it just
keeps coming up randomly in conversation and I'm like, yeah,
I know, I know she's good.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Well no, not me, but I do have to have
a lot of credit to Brand because he's taught me
that as well, Like he's taught me how to look
into it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I love that you have been able to lean on Brandle.
This is brand if you If you don't know, this
is Brandal Shambly who is a longtime analyst for Golf
Channel on Live from and he's brilliant in the way
that he presents his arguments and it's so smart of
you to lean on him because he's been doing this
for thirty years or something, I think. So, you know,
there's a way to present an argument, and you can
(15:21):
obviously lean on your experience as a player, but you
can only do that for so long and getting into
that next level of being an analyst really requires this
data driven approach.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
So yeah, good on Yamel.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Well and good for you for reaching out and wanting
to learn and wanting to I know, I know, you know,
minus the rose, minus the rose.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
We can let that go.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
So what have you been up to last week?
Speaker 3 (15:56):
You've been busy?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Well, I played a fine valley.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Them, I know you did. Where the fuck was my invite?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I'm not in charge.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
I I'm just very happy about it.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
I'm livid you.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
No, I'm living you for me. No, never, not when
I'm not invited to things that I want to be.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
A Okay, I will do my best.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Make your appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Take the Pine Valley Gods, thank you.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
I'm only joking. It looked amazing.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Was it good?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
So? I've played it once before and it was That
was a really short trip and it was kind of added.
I was already in New York and it was more
of just a come down for the day. But this
was like the full, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Two day experience.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I am so exhausted. So if people don't know what
Pine Valley is, it's the number one golf course.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
In the world.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Yeah, in the world.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
It's in New Jersey, about forty minutes from Philly, an
hour and fifteen from New York.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I've never tried so hard to save double.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Or like really or been okay with being like, you
know what, I'm in my pocket?
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Like, so is it? I didn't know, it's like, is
it Obviously it's challenging, but is it what makes it
so good then?
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Because I've never been.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I mean so for me, I mean it's there's a
lot of like force carries that are probably you know,
really difficult for me. A lot of you know, it
requires accuracy, like you're hitting into greens, like if you
don't hit the green in the right spot, you're now
putting yourself into a really difficult two putt, or if
you like the green, some of the greens are very small,
and all around it is just trouble, crazy bunkering and
(17:30):
you know these bunkers are like to get out of
them is the whole thing and in itself and it's
just yeah, it's the most intense.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Golf test ever.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
So for somebody like me as twelve handicap, I was
like solding on for survive. But I mean the golf
course is so engaging though, Like even though it's you know,
I was, I was, we were playing in like ninety
five degree heat in the humidity, and I still was
just so engaged on every shot because it's such an
incredibly designed place.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
And do you stay on site then? Is the lodgers
on site.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, staying in a really full cabin on site, and
the caddie Bastard was very nice and set us up
with fishing rods because they have they have all these
little lakes on the property, so apparently they were like,
you know, we're setting up some rods for the girls.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
After our.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
We went fishing behind our cabin and Hallie led Better
caught a fish.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Stop it? Did you cook it? No?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
No, catching really is?
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I mean we went to like a really nice dinner
at the club, but we just like we were like,
let's do it for the gram. Let's cast a couple
of rods and see what happens. And she reeled in
this tiny fish.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
But she reeled in and she goes, what do I do?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Now?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
We need to get somebody down here.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
You don't know how to hook it? Yeah she had.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
She had to take theo.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
But we were like, thank god nobody was on the
golf course at that time, because at four thirty in
the afternoon, we were.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Screaming because we got this What did you just bait?
Speaker 1 (19:12):
We like some fake were I don't know where they
got these tackle boxes. Yeah, they gave us everything. They
were so sweet. They like set up the rods, they
put the bait, they baited the hooks, they gave us
bugspray and towels and everything.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
I mean, that's awesome in it. It was that's such.
So who went so you Hallie?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
It was me, Halle g Hay and Marissa mar who
is the member there, and she is She's an incredibly
impressive person.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
She's so brilliant. She works for Chevron.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
She's okay, just lovely and hosted the most wonderful ladies.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
We'll get you to Chattingressa. Yeah, so it was really fun.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
But I I hit some great shots and I also
hit some shots that were I what I thought were great,
but just punished because I didn't quite have the accuracy
or the treaty actually, like you were.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Saying, if I just don't have the height with those shots,
I need to figure that out. I need to work
on that.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
And then I had some real shitty shots.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
But so good fun though. Did you have a couple
of transfusions on there? No?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
You know, I know, No, I was I was pretty
We're pretty tame, pretty tame, okay, yeah, all right, Yeah,
we had a glasses of wine at night and stuff.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Maybe I should take a leaf out of your book
is basically what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
A small leaf.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yeah, but what did I do all last week? This
is a problem. I can't remember what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
With No, dude, my memory's gone to ship. By the way,
I don't know why my memory is so shit. I
literally can't remember anything.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Because i'd gotten back from London. Have we talked about London?
Speaker 4 (20:45):
No, I don't know. I got I don't know if
we have.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
I to be honest with you, I can't remember I
was in London.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah, we hadn't talk about So I got back from London.
I was home for two days that.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
We moved into our new house, and then I immediately
got on the floor Prime Valley.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
That's what I was doing. No wonder, I can't remember.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
How do you do that?
Speaker 4 (21:03):
How do you please help me?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
How do you do that? I?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Well, I don't drink as much as I used to,
and I.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I think that because my body just doesn't know where
it is permanently that I'm pretty good.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Fair.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Yeah, I've been taking some magnesium.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I'm on my health journey right now.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Oh yeah, can we talk about that?
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Okay, what's what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Well, I did all of my blood work, so I
still I am waiting for a bunch of other tests
to come in and there we're going to do a
full breakdown of everything. But I had to do a
stool test, which was disgusting. I had to do a
se bow test, which is a place cebo is some
bacteria that could potentially be growing in your intestine, breast test.
(21:48):
So they mailed me that all this. It took three
hours to do this breath test. It was crazy, and
I had to drink some nasty drink.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
How did it take three hours?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Just keep breathing because it was it was like every
twenty minutes you would breathe into the two So it
was like you you would breathe into it and then
twenty minutes later you breathe into it again, and then
you drink the drink, and that like affects the way
that what might be happening in your stomach, then you
like and then as it works its way through your
digestive system, you continue.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
To do the thing blood ye, how you've proper no
stone unturned it.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
No stone on turned.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
And then I also did like a separate prick blood
test where you know, I'm like such a wooss with
this type where you know, you have to do the
little thing where it like pricks your finger and hurts
and you had to like fill in all these circles
with blood.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Sorry if anyone's squeamish.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Yeah, so we'll see. So I mailed all of those off,
and I still like, I.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Get did you mail your poop?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I did mail my poop.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Yeah, some fans got hold of that one of us.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Oh no, they asked me for socks and underwear. Okay,
they don't ask for that.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
No.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
You know.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
The thing is because I actually really want to do
this because I've didn't like intolerance shit, and like I
am the intolerant. I'm intolerant to weak.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Which is really fustrating.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Yeah you told me that, Yeah, yeah, you know. But
I want to get proper and proper want to get
into it because there's something not going right with me.
Like maybe it's me putting things in there, but like
there's something not right with me. And I want to
do a full body like I you know, I've got
a sun now, Like I want to be healthy and
I need to change my life started it because I'm
you know, I just can't.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
I just can't part like I used to.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah, it's definitely a combination of age and traveling so much.
But usually I've been able to manage it for the
most part.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
But lately I've really been.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Feeling extra horrible, extra bloated, extra lethargic.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
To be honest, Svine, I've been actually probably better behave
the last three months, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Like, I've been taking pretty good care of my swird,
isn't it?
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:48):
What am I eating?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
And I just really hope they find something because if
they don't, okay, cool.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Then I just.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
What's funny, isn't it? Like I'm not obviously obsessed with
this stuff even though I don't do it. But it's funny,
isn't it? Like I just I don't know. Do you
think it's the food that we eat? Now? Like?
Speaker 4 (24:08):
What is it? Is it food?
Speaker 2 (24:11):
I think it's definitely.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I think it's there's I think that our bodies, well
who knows this is not science, so doctor Kia.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
My dad's a doctor, so that gives me.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Yeah, missus, miss.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
I think that our bodies, you know, change and evolve
over time, and we can develop intolerances and certain reactions
to things. So I think maybe over time and my
body has developed some sort of sensitivity to something that
maybe in the past I could process gluten as well,
(24:45):
or dairy or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
I really hope it's not dairy.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Really really that would really suck.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Yeah, that would be really devastating.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
I also generally don't think I drink an afore like.
I don't.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
I'm a bit like my dad, like I do do
it because it's fine. That's true.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Well that's what I do as well, though, Kira. I
struggle with the waters.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Like Carlie is unbelievable with water intake, like almost some
session on possession, whereas I just I think it's weird,
Like I want to drink out. This is probably not
very interesting. But if I buy a bottle of water,
I will drink it. If I have a cup like this,
I will take me all day.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
To drink it. It's like a psychological thing. I don't know,
it's weird.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Maybe you need to put some flavor in it or something, yeah,
I don't know. Or put it in a water bottle
instead of a cup.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah maybe, I don't know. I just find it weird
because I've never done that. I don't know. Yeah, I
need to do this. I'm going to do it as well.
I need to look into this.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
I'm going to do it. So you've not had any
result back.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
No results back.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
So I'm going to continue to keep our listeners slash
you updated on my health journey.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
But all the tests are done. That's the intet forever
to do the tests.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Right. Well, you're breathing into a fucking bag for three
hours and then you've got to wait to have a pooh.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Yeah yeah, oh my god. The collection. Oh okay, I'm sorry.
We don't need to go.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
And I know what it is because I've had to
do one.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Look, Carli had to do one once as well.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Yeah gross, it's gross. Okay. So we had a very
nice weekend as well. We went so Saturday, Carlie played,
My wife played Do you Want Basketball? If anyone doesn't know,
she played at Drake. She was a bit of a baller, Okay.
I don't like to admit that she was probably more
athletic than me, but she probably was.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
I have never in the seven years that we have
been together seeing her play basketball, like she doesn't play anymore.
And so we have a Farmer's market down by the
beach where we go to, which I'm obsessed with from
home obviously because that's like so my vibe. And they
pick up basketball, and I made Carlie as I look,
when I'm back, you have to go and play and
I'll just take car with me to the farmer's market
(26:36):
for a couple hours. And she fucking did, and she
played basketball and she bawled out. She said, in her words,
I've played so fucking good. So she's modest as she
ever has been, but apparently she killed it, and I
was really proud of her.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Did you watch No, No, what was I meant to?
I think maybe next time you should watch a little bit. Really,
she's probably watched you play golf so much, and like,
hadn't walk around a hot stupid golf course.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
You just left.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
I got even go Carly.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
No.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
I had Kai and he was like freaking out. I
think Kai wants to see his mom ball out.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Well, we watched for like, I got a picture. We
watched for like a minute, but then he was just
he wanted to fuck around. So I was like, yeah,
let's go, let's go get some carrots and stuff.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Carrots are more interesting than pick up basketball.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Yeah, well I made a Sunday roasts. It was actually
very good. It was a lamb roast dinner. So you're
good that you get the whole family ships. Yeah, so
I clearly did something wrong which no ideal.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
So Mel's currently going through it.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
I currently have the ships. I now get it to
my wife who now has the ships. And I'm pretty sure.
I've just looked at Kay's daycare and he's had a
third bottle movement today, so I'm pretty sure he's.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Now got the ships. So there's a lot of poopa this,
this a lot of proof on this show.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
I apologize, Well, fucking hell tell you what though, what
dedication I am that I'm potentially shitting my pants and
I'm still.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
Here and giving it.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Listens for the ship for the soccer's ship talkers, exactly.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Did you watch any golf over the weekend?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Yes, I did watch the end of the Rocket Mortgage.
Actually very very good finish, very good finish.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I have whole playoff.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Aldric pop Geater, Chris Kirk and Max Grazerman.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Aldric twenty years old from South Africa.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
One big as well, a powerful bloke.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Longest drive on the PGA tour.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
I can't be if he's only twenty.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Can't rent a car, I can't have a beer, I
can't do it anything. No, except for win on the
PGA too. I mean that's insane, Like, no, I don't
win on the PGA tour is insane.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Well, he came close to a couple months ago.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Yeah he did. I mean lots of people come close
and never win.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
And for to actually do it and get over the
line is wild, especially in a five hole playoff, and
he made a huge putt to do it. Nice kid.
His dad is really cool. I see his dad out
a lot, always happy to chat.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
So did he grow up in Australia, What was the
what was the thing there?
Speaker 2 (29:14):
I think he was born in South Africa.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I think he moved to Australia when he was like
eight or something like that, and then I moved back
to South Africa. Because of COVID there weren't a lot
of playing opportunities in Australia.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
At the time, right, Yeah, that makes sense, and probably
didn't want to get stuck there either because they were
shutting and not in a bad way.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
I'm just saying they were shutting.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Boded.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
No, it was crazy. They had crazy, crazy COVID stuff.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Have you been to South Africa?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
No, I've never been to South Africa, not in Australia.
Sound realty in Africa? Did I tell you about Andrew
Is going on a horse safari?
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Excuse me, my husband and his mom, not me, are right,
because I don't want to want to go.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
I was invited.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
H they are going on safari in Africa on horseback.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
So what happens if an elephant charges.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
At you or a lion?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Well, yes, obviously trying to be nice a lion. Well
are they going to have a guide? Obviously? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Yeah, yeah, Yeah, it's like, oh, they'll be fine, They'll
be fine.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Yeah, but I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
I don't know about navigating animals that want to eat
my well, no.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Yeah, I would agree. Good for him, I say.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Yeah, but no, I've never been.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
At the closest I've gotten to that part of the
world is Morocco, which doesn't count as far as No.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Yeah, the rest of the continent goes.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
I mean it's beautiful. Yeah, Africa is beautiful.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
I would love to do that.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
We had will Edams there and I got a report
back from the English golf, women's golf that apparently I
had too many milkshakes on the trip.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Were they spiked milkshakes?
Speaker 3 (30:49):
No, no, no, no, I was like sixteen. I was
addicted to milkshakes. I was completely addicted to milkshakes that
week and that's all I would eat, like I wouldn't
have anything else, which.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Is really odd. I don't know why I just went
through it.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
I was a bit weird when I was a kid,
and I literally could half makes sense, but funn enough,
we're talking about it. I literally shipped myself literally when
I was playing golf. Like honestly, some of my mates
who were in that squad think, oh my god, I
remember when you shake yourself when you had to run
in and who could forget I know. Yeah, some weird
things have happened to me in Africa. Actually got ut
(31:22):
I there as well. Well, got you on the way over.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
That was awful.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
I'm so sorry. That sounds horrible.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
What's the I thing.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Assist or.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
No when it closes up condrinct about us?
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Yeah, I got that as well on the plane and
my best mate Brian was like sleeping next to me
and she then got it. Yeah, lots of weird things
have happened to be in Africa.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Okay, maybe I'll skip this. You know where I want
to go to New Zealand. New Zealand's cool. I want
to go play golf there.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
No, you have to do it to Okay, stunning, standing, stunning.
I just which it happens to me there.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
You shouldn't go, I'll go.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
I shouldn't go. You should go. Yeah, unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
I've actually never vince Queenstown and that is somewhere that
I'm desperate to go.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah, I need Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
So anyway, shout out to Aldrich, good job winning, very impressive.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
So yeah, the Masters and two years on the tour
and all that. He gets a a bunch of cool
stuff from it. Over on the LPGA, we had a playoff.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
Yeah, that championship a team event, very fun. It was
actually a playoff with Lexi Thompson, Megan Kang. Lexi's playing
unbelievable by the way, now she's like.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Unretired, she's not playing a full schedule.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
And then but Sony Lee and jin So somy Lee.
What was that last working was in KPMG. It was
another event recently and I was like, this girl's gonna
win very soon. She's very, very fucking good. So, yeah,
the team event is actually a really fun event. I
usually play that every year is a good one. Then
your partner in the past, Collotta Sigander randomly Suo one year,
(33:03):
and then Brontie and Leona Maguire. Yeah, great, great vibes
all around. Yeah, but Lexi Omega Kang.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Mecan's never won, has she?
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Yeah, she went in Canada, I'll but she should be
winning a lot more than she does because she's very
very good as well, is very amazing, and she's a
great personality hilarious.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yeah, she should get around the show.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
Yeah, we should actually should be fun.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
I think somebody who had requested her, Yeah, she'd be
really fun.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
And uh so why is Lexi playing so good? What's
going on with Lexi's kame?
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Fuck? Well, listen, I'm probably gonna get slam for this.
But this is just my opinion and it is our podcast,
so I should be in tarde my opinion. I don't
necessarily think she went about announce announcing her retirement from
full time play. I think she could do it again.
Definingly she would because it's very confusing for a lot
of people. I think if she just wanted to reduce
(33:55):
her playing schedule, I think probably she should have just
naturally done that and then commented on it if she
was getting a lot of kind of attention about it.
But listen, I don't blame next. See like she's been
a child star since she was twelve years old, Like
she's probably she's burnt out, Like I get it. She
has a lot of pressure, Like she honestly brings in
so many fans on the LPGA, so she has a
(34:15):
lot of commitment to stuff, and.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
She says yes to everything, she shows.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Up to everything. She's brilliant, like she's I cannot follow
her to anything, And honestly, since saying that she's not
playing a full schedule, she's been playing great. I think
that she's now allowing herself a bit of time off,
which is very good for her because she's been, like
I said, literally acting like a professionals since she was
like eleven years old, So it's good for her. I
just think, like I thought she was retiring, and I
(34:41):
think a lot of other people did. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Yeah, regardless of if she said retire not retire, that
all argument, the branding behind it.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Was like from a pr perspective, not the.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Best, no, because we had like flyovers for her and like, yeah,
big paintings made for her in like Canadas.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
It was the last Canadian putting things like that.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
So but look, she's playing great and she still has games,
she's engaged, she's way happier outside the game.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
It's great for the LPGA for her to continue to play,
like the LPGA needs her of course.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Yeah, so it's great for everybody. Yeah, yeah, so whatever
it takes.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Whatever it takes. But yeah, she's each their own. I
guess maybe I shouldn't, Yeah, each their own.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
But no, I mean I think it's fair to say, like, okay,
that was weird, but also like happy that she's playing, well, very.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
Happy she's playing for Amazon.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
It's literally amazing, Like so many little girls and honestly
little boys are out there like wanting to be Lexi.
Like it's really cool, totally, like you can just tell
the Lexi fan. It's like a Rickey fan, like the
pr and like the ribbon and the visor and the
colorful glow and so I don't know, it's just very it's.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Very a XI fan.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Yeah yeah, a mile away.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
From a mile away, absolute mile away.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Completely unrelated.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
G Hay and I were so g is one of
our besies, as you would say. We were talking about
you or my weekend at Pine Valley, and she was

And also us in the show and what we're doing
because we kind of, you know, like we know what
we're doing and we know what we wanted to do
when we came into this, but we're still really figuring
it out and kind of seeing what sticks. Yeah, it's
nice to hear that people that is very sweet care
and are listening and spend an hour of their day
with us, because that's you know, time is the most
(38:32):
important resource.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Yeah, it is. As Actually, the friend that we went
to the pool for low with Kayes today and one
of our friends who remember the donkey ride, Yes, who
could forget Yeah, So we were at the pool with
them and she's like, she's awesome, Spencer's hilarious. And she's like, so,
I don't listen to every episode, but I've been told
that you were talking about the Paying two and I
was like, oh shit, and she went, Babes, it's not
(38:54):
a donkey. It was a pony, okay, And she's like,
with boogie up in here. In one of it was
a pony. I'm not letting some random kids riding on
a donkey. She's a pony. So I just wanted to cry.
It was a pony pony ride, not a donkey ride.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
I can't believe that you messed up a donkey and
a pony.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
Well fucking hell, they look like the same thing to me.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
No, they do not. Yes, pony is so majestic.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
Donkeys are sick.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
Yeah they're sick, but they're not ponies.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
So what is a donkey? Gray? Usually I think Okay,
well I didn't know it was a pony. I apologize
to the pony. I thought it was a donkey, so
it's not I got told off yesterday.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Ologies to the ponies out there.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Yeah, I do apologize because now thinking of it, I
realized it was a pony because it had really pretty
hair and it was plattered and stuff.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
Yeah, there's nothing against donkeys, but like, no to these
two things are not the same anyway.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
So I just wanted to listen.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
I admit when I when I mess up, and I
just wanted to confirm it was not a donkey that
my son is riding, and that other children it was
a pony.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Okay, shout out Spencer and friends. And also maybe they
should start listening to every episode if they.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
Really exactly thank you, That's what I said. So what
you doing this week?
Speaker 4 (40:11):
I'm mixed tread.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Are you going away again this week?
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Uh? Let's see, it's July fourth coming up, so we
spend a little bit of time in Lake Tahoe. I'm
looking forward to and then I'm going to spend lots
of time figuring out my new house. Yeah, if there's
any furniture companies out there, that want to sponsor me.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Yeah, you let me know.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
So I'm dealing with that.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
This is actually some adult advice here, But it will
take it, you know what It's like, it does take
like a year to really fit it because you're like,
you buy stuff that you sometimes Yeah, I just bought
that just to get through it for three months and then.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
Yeah yeah yeah, so just yeah, try and figure out
my life.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
My next work event isn't until the American Century, which
is the Tahoe Celebrity Event, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Which is super fun. I used to play in that.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Actually playing in that event was a big part of
my professional development because it gave me credibility from a
playing perspective, which is something that you really do need in.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Golf or not.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
It just established my credibility of understanding the sport and
that oh you can hang on that level. And it
allowed me to create relationships with a lot of celebrities
outside of golf and helped me develop that skill set.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
So then I.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Think almost four or five years ago, NBC came to
me and they were like, you know, we'd love to
have you continue to play, but if you'd like to work,
you're happy to have you work the event.
Speaker 2 (41:35):
And the whole point of me wanting to play in
that was.
Speaker 1 (41:37):
To be able to grow and make relationships and network
so that I could get those types of opportunities. And
so immediately I switched from playing in the event to
working the event, because you know, that's a week that
I'm interviewing Steph Curry and johns Kelsey, Charles Barkley, and
it's a whole different Bowl game. It's so much fun
to put on. American Century puts on an amazing event.
(42:00):
So that's my next work thing. Yeah, but I've got
a little bit of time off until then, which is
quite nice.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
What about you.
Speaker 3 (42:06):
We're going to Denver, Well, we're going to Fort Collins actually, yeah,
because I know we're looking to move there eventually full time.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
So one of my best friends is from Fort Collins.
Speaker 3 (42:15):
We love it absolutely Well, I'm I just love Colorado
like I'm a mountain girl, but I fell in love
with Colorado.
Speaker 4 (42:20):
We went for a wedding in Golden.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
Oh, Golden's so cute, beautiful, it's beautiful. What are you
guys going to do? You're gonna hike, and yeah, hike.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
We've got a few hikes planned and then there's like
cool things, like like Carli's got to work some of it,
but I'll just take high hiking.
Speaker 4 (42:35):
In the morning.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
There's some cool museums and we've already found a couple
of really cool breweries that we like, ye that have
like live music on and stuff, and it's superkid friendly.
So you were just going to go hang, see what
it's like, meet some people.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
How do you think you would do in the winter there?
Speaker 4 (42:50):
Absolutely fine.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
Yeah, I know you like to snowboard, but I actually
reddish the cold weather. And it's still like very sunny
in Colorado, like they have three in a days of sun,
so it's not like miserable miserable.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
I love Colorado and they have amazing public golf.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
Shocked by the quality of it as well. It's beautiful,
it's very It reminds me of what you must have
grown up with, just having such easy access to high quality, beautiful,
cheap golf.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
So I just it's the one place, honestly like in America.
Because I would move back to England obviously, Carli was like,
well my family here, I can't And I'm like, okay,
well I would never move to Nebraska, and you know,
no fence or just not my vibe. So our middle
ground was well, the one place that I actually feel
at peace, because we've never really felt peace of Florida.
It's funny. It's Colorado, Like it's one place. It's not funny,
(43:40):
is it? But now it's not.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
Pride.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
Everyone just can't be gay here. Now it's it, but
it's just different on here. So it's the one place
that I've like been and not wanted to come home.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:56):
Well, selfishly, I would love for you to be in
Colorado because you've been a few times, sir, And uh.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
It would be easier to come out and.
Speaker 3 (44:03):
Like play Pine Valley.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
Well that's in New Jersey. But yes, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
Oh yeah, I was thinking more like record a pod
in person or something.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
Yeah, or we could like go funk off to like
a cool course in Colorado or like.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
Or we could go skiing and Beaver Creek.
Speaker 3 (44:19):
Oh my god, we could. Yes, absolutely don't like Taho.
Whatever you need care, I'm yours.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
Oh did you want to hear about my London trip
at all? Are you good at that?
Speaker 2 (44:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (44:27):
I'm good, Thank you?
Speaker 1 (44:31):
Well, I already made you feel like shit when I
was sending you pictures of my apperl sprintss.
Speaker 3 (44:36):
I literally was telling you off what I meant.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
I got a voice note that just said fuck you.
Speaker 3 (44:43):
I was like, oh, my flight to Frisco, Texas, and
you send me this apple spirits and a big on
thirty degree celsius heat, and I just went fuck you.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
I was so pleased with myself.
Speaker 3 (44:54):
I bet you were. Was it good?
Speaker 2 (44:56):
It was amazing. We did a lot more, almost like
urban hiking.
Speaker 1 (45:00):

Like girls that make money off of doing sexual things
on camera and you can like go in the live
stream or something like that.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
I don't know those types of girls, but I don't
think they're real.
Speaker 1 (46:56):
I think they're bots that comment on every single one
of your podcast. I like to put myself out there
or just looking to make friends or I might be smart,
but I'm feeling stupid.
Speaker 3 (47:12):
Algorithm.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
I know, so my show's just to the weird sexual
bought ladies on Instagram please go away. And I used
to never get those types of things, and now I'm
just like actively trying to clear them out so that
people don't like scroll.
Speaker 4 (47:44):
Through the comments on them on my account.
Speaker 2 (47:46):

I think we've spoken enough about poo and stuff today,
so I'm going to say my other show enough is
I'm not or AI at the minute, Like I'm not
caught up on it, right, So, like if I read
something on my Instagram, it's clearly AI, but I still
think that it's not Like I think it's real.
Speaker 4 (48:11):
Oh, and it frustrates me because.
Speaker 2 (48:13):
I'm you're like faring for it.
Speaker 3 (48:15):
Well, then I have to actually google it and go
is this real? And then I realize that it's not real.
So it's just for strained to me. I'm like, that
could have been real.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
At least you're googling it and realizing it. Because can
you imagine there's a lot of people.

me that she uses it with therapy.
Speaker 1 (48:55):
She is it's unbelievable, so a good I have a
good friend of ours that uses it to she said.
She asked it, what do you think my biggest fear
is okay, okay, okay. So this friend also she asked
it to describe our friend group and went through each
(49:16):
of the names and to not only describe each of
those people, which is scary that you can tell it
this random name and that it knows who you're talking about,
but to also compare it to a Disney character and why.
Speaker 2 (49:30):
And it was so spot on. It was mine was yea.
Mine was Belle from Beauty and the Beast.
Speaker 1 (49:37):
Oh, that makes total sense, but the description was just
so yeah, it was really.
Speaker 3 (49:44):
