On this episode of Quiet Please! Mel Reid and Kira Dixon are a day late and blaming Bezos. Mel is stressed from house hunting and Kira is trying to crack the code on more deep sleep, but that doesn’t stop them from reliving the week that was, including Tommy Fleetwood's win in India and Sei Young Kim’s win in Korea. If you're chronically online like Kira and Mel, you know that the Mid-Am debate has been raging. Per usual, they have takes. Plus a preview on the week in golf ahead, and Charley Hull strikes again.

Quiet Please, with Mel Reed and Kira Dixon, is an
iheartwomen's sports production in partnership with Deep Blue Sports and Entertainment.
You can find us on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello everyone, welcome back
(00:25):
to Quiet Please. We are very very sorry that this
episode is coming out a day late, but it's not
our fault. You all can write to one Jeff Bezos
at Amazon dot com for your grievances. We tried to
record on Monday, our usual recording time, but our platform
was down to.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
The AWS outage.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
And the thing I'm most pissed about is I looked
so good that day tonight. Makeup, my hair looked great,
I had a great outfit for the pod. Like I
was really like, all right, I'm really gonna bring it
for the pod today, and today I just look so sad.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
You're a different sad. You still look great. I am
actually sad. I was telling you I've got my first
spot in about two years, an absolute crater on the
size of my neck, which I picked the whole flight
to Utah yesterday. So it's lucking good, gorgeous. Well, I know,
but I was nervous that people the kid next we
could see it, and so I picked it to make
it worse. So now it's absolutely ginormous. But yeah, I
(01:25):
mean it is what it is, just just doing stress.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Your stress is manifesting as acne. I know.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
And I've got one night on my chin as well somewhere,
but I've covered that one up. But this one on
my neck is pretty savage. And they hurt on your
neck as well, don't they. You know when you try
and squeeze it. You probably never had one. I don't
even know why masking.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Okay, okay, anyway, anyway, I'm really sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
That that's happening to you.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Great candle.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah, yeah, that's in prayers. The funniest tweet a star
or whatever recalling them these days.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Actually maybe it was all threads. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
The funniest thing I saw written about the AWS thing
was turns out America does not run on Duncan.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
It runs on Amazon Web Services. And that the truth
it is.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I mean, it affected my flight. I was going to
Denver first thing Monday morning, and that traffic control was down.
I don't know, Jeff, Jeff owns everything apparently and runs everything.
He runs the whole world and it went to shit
on Monday.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
America runs on Jeff, But I did have speaking of
great things I read on the internet, so you might
have heard of her.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Her name is carl Read.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
She posted this on her Instagram story and I thought
it was really cute, so I screenshoted it. She said, today,
I'm grateful for this coffee that I drank dot dot
dot hot dot dot dot in silence, and a wife
who spent all morning with an extremely cranky talk just
to help me recharge before she leaves for work tomorrow.
And yet dot dot she's setting her alarm for three
(03:07):
point thirty to catch a six am flight to Colorado
to squeeze in a house hunting trip, then right to
Utah to work her first PGA Tour event at Melreed
Golf is a rare one.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Did I sound like Carly a little bit?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah? No, so she's wrong. It's my second PGA Tour event,
which I was pissed at about. But I mean, that's
the least of my rowers in that sweet It was
a very nice. It was very nice. I'm so critical.
I'm such a bit. It was lovely.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
You messed it up, Carly, car it was my.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Second I know. Yeah, No, we're going through it a
little bit with Kay at the minute. I'm sure that
some if anyone's listening that has a TODDLERK can relate to.
He's just he's just feeling a lot of emotion right now.
He's everything is either the end of the world. He's
got a lot of big feelings, everything's the end of
the world. He asked for something, you'd give it to him,
he doesn't want to. He's then pissed at you, and
(03:58):
then he's pissed at you know, you're not holding him
a correct way. So it's just a lot of a
lot of emotions for the poor lad at the minute.
So we're just going through a little bit of a
of a spell with him. And I feel like Carli
probably needed a break as she is going to take
on a lot this week with him, so I thought
(04:19):
I would give her the morning off. And it was
a very long seven hours, a very long seven hours actually,
and I cleaned the house a little bit as well.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
By the way, Honestly, Carli, where was that in your Instagram?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I was very clear of the bogs. Yeah exactly. So look,
she does a lot, doesn't she so at the least
I can do is have a little morning with with
the old little temper tantrum kai. So he was we
had a nice morning. Actually, we had a lovely morning.
So whether he's cranky or now, he's still a lot
of fun.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
To be with.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
So but yeah, thanks for reading that out, thank you.
But it was is my second PJ sortment just to
heads up.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
So that's what Mala is doing this week.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
You are in Utah or the Bank of Utah yep,
Championship is that right?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, it's exactly where the where the
ladies played back in gosh when was that now? April?
March April. So it's a course that I'm familiar at.
I think it's an awesome golf courses.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
This is the Lava Course.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah, Lava. A lot of guys will be saying Lava luck,
Lava love or whatever the saying is. But look it's
it's it's so I'm doing on course this week and
you'll you'll understand this Cara exciting, I know, because most
golf courses is quite relatively easy to be a walker
(05:36):
because you can stand in certain spots and you can
see the ballflight and you can see everything. This golf
course is slightly different because there is so much lava
and elevation that you kind of have to go nuts
because otherwise the players you're kind of in the places
player's eye line and target line. So it's really hard
as a walker because you actually can only see a
(05:57):
certain amount of the golf ball and you can't see
it land and it can take random kicks. And so
I looked my lesson the hard way. It was my
first week concourse, and I learned that the hard way,
So I'm going to be a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Or did somebody tell you get out of my line?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
No, So they were like, oh, is that a good
T shirt? And I'm like, I don't know. I don't
know it went over the lava. I don't know if
it went into the fairway. Do you see what I'm saying,
like where it finishes. I don't know if it took
it back kick because I can't get far enough down
because I want you got to pay a T shirt.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yes, So it's a very difficult play by play.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah, if they come down to you and they're like, so, Mel,
what did you think, And you're like, well, I can't find.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
The ball, so yeah, yeah, yeah, so but it's it's
a good golf course and the players men and women
that the women did it as well. They kind of
go low here, which is wild because it's so tight
and you would think that it wouldn't be as low
as it is scoring wise. But listen, it's a beautiful spot.
You've got Zion just down the road. So I'm going
to go for a couple of night walks this morning
(07:04):
this week. Sorry in the morning. Ye yeah, it's like
it's called Snow Canyon, which has got an awesome, like
highest beautiful. I mean, it's it looks like you're in
a national park. So I'm going to do that in
the next couple of mornings. So it's just I love Utah.
I absolutely loved Utah. I think it's gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Andrew and I went to Utah for our honeymoon, did you.
We went to.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
This really fancy hotel in the middle of nowhere, and
then we went to Zion for a couple of nights.
So I wanted to stay at the nice hotel because
I had like a spot on everything. We just gotten
married and that's what people do, you deserve. But Andrew
is not about that life. Yeah, thank you, Andrew's not
about that life. So to balance things out, we found
there's this like Airbnb of camping essentially where people will
(07:53):
let you camp on their private land for like ten
dollars a night or something.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Okay, so we found this.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
We found this ranch that its view was Zion National Park. Oh,
so we camped on these this person's like giant field
in the middle of nowhere looking out at Zion.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
And it was sick.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
That's really cool.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
We did that because our original plan for our honeymoon
was to go play golf in Scotland, Ireland and do
all that. I know, I still still haven't done that,
but then COVID happened, so we didn't do any of that.
We went to Utah instead.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
It was yeah, I love Utah. I went we went
skiing here or snowboarding, and then yeah, I love Utah.
I absolutely. I mean it's it's gorgeous. Whoever, people who
haven't been, you should go. It's it really is beautiful.
Just not you can't really drink here though. Any downside,
it's quite difficult to get drunk, which is a good thing.
I know, I mean I wouldn't be drinking anyway.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
This week.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
But I'm just saying if when we went snowboarding, it
was quite difficult.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Just just because of because they don't have I think
it's not as much alcohol.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I think it's because of the Mormons.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
The Mormons. Yeah, like they're quite restricted. Like the beer's
not a strong Yeah. Yeah, it's not a bad thing. Yeah,
it's not a bad thing.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It's probably for the best for our health.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yeah, I know, I know, probably we should all learn
a lesson there. But when I was snowboarding, I noticed it.
I was like, oh, I can't this is this is weird,
Like everything was measured perfectly, which I found quite odd
because in America it's like free poor, isn't it so?
But look, not a bad thing. I think Utah is awesome.
I love coming to Utah. I think it's a beautiful place.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
So I'm digging it this week, Heira, I am not
traveling for the next For this week and next week
at all.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Two weeks, two entire weeks in my house.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Every day I have gone to some sort of workout
class every day after making all my own meals.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I'm not doing any drinking.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Why.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I am just a picture picture of health. Journey to
health you're feeling better. I'm feeling great.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Mal Okay, congratulations, I mean a big news, are you?
Are you actually going to do it for two weeks though?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yeah? Okay, I've got nothing else to do.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Okay. What's the longest you've gone without drinking?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
A long time? Months?
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Have you?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
What about you?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
What's the longest I've gone without drinking? Probably like three months?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yeah, thank you?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
All right, So moving on, we have we have lots
to get through today. There's been a lot happening in
the world of golf. One thing I wanted to talk
to you about before we do move on is the
event that I hosted with Titleist last week. I looked
very cool, which thank you yes, which was super sick.
(10:56):
And a lot of the girls that were at the
event listen to the show and we're very excited to
tell me that they listened to the show, which was
really sweet. So I just wanted to say specific thank
you to Gabby, Cassie, Lisa, Mika, Tiffany, Kristen, Liz and
(11:19):
Elsa for all coming out to Ocean Side, to TPI
to this day of golf fittings. The titleist let me
host and they all got to go through like a
full fitting, professional fitting with an expert fitter. They got
to do like the full if anybody listened to our
Dave Phillips TPI episode, the full Dave Phillips style Greg
(11:42):
Rose style body Assessment.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
They got evokey wedges fitting.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
They they titleists just like and be on with the
merch And they hosted a putting contest for us. We
had sharcooterie, We have pizza, we had wine. We had
to play the short course like the Daniel like runs
the facility a TPI and does all the hospitality and
he was like driving around in a golf cart with
the charcuterie for everybody, and we were like, wow, this
(12:09):
is a woman's dream, like guys like a cart girl
and we got a charcuterie boy, and yeah, I love epic.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Like it was so it was so perfect.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
It the sun was setting in San Diego, it was
so gorgeous, vibes were amazing, everybody was just so happy
to be there and it just was like the you know,
one of those you capture that magic that getting in a
group of really cool women together to play golf always brings.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
It was really special. So I wanted to make sure
share about our experience.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I thought that was really cool that you did that
as well, because a lot of this stuff happens with
men's stuff, doesn't it, But it doesn't happen very often
with women. So I'm proud of you. Care. I thought
that was a very cool thing to do, very cool
way to get women excited about golf. Who doesn't love
a fucking cue too? How do you say it, Charcuteri, Charcuterie, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, God,
(13:03):
I love I always say wrong, I say char you
can say.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
You can say it however you want.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Thank you, meat and cheeseboard, a bit of olives. So yeah,
I think that's awesome. Fair play to titleist, by the way,
for for you know, stepping up and making everybody feel great.
So well done, Kira. That's an awesome thing for you
to do, and I'm sure all the ladies absolutely adord it.
So good for you, girl, I think so too good.
Thank you, Thank you, You're welcome.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Now we can talk about all the other things.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Okay, now we've got that with over with no that
we've got the important thing with first.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I didn't want it to get too far into the
show without mentioning it because it's top of my mind.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
It's important, all right, So.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Let's uh whined a little bit in the week of golf.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
We know that we're a day behind, but still wanted
to make sure we get to talk about all of
these things.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Tommy, lad isn't it me? Yeah? Tom, Tom?
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yes, have you ever been to India? No?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I haven't it used to do that?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yeah, yes I have. Actually we played an LT event
there years ago, I think twenty forteen fifteen, and it's
it's yeah, honestly, like the people there are so lovely.
The golf course that we played. Have you ever seen
that golf course that they used to play? I think
the DP Wiltour used to play there. It's like horrific.
(14:42):
It's well, it's not horrific, but it's like it's a
really quirky design. Like the seventeenth hole is like a
wedge few second shot, and it's like plays forty yards uphill,
and it's got like rocks everywhere, and like outbounds is
like two feet away from a certain green and things.
It's just like my idea of hell. But the people
are awesome. I absolutely loved to visit in India. They
treated as like ryalty. Yeah, it's like the one place
(15:06):
that my dad has always wanted to go is India.
Like it's just yeah, I can't say enough about everybody
was so lovely there. But yeah, Tommy lad won there.
That had a really good field. Roy Mcinroy's, Shane Lowry,
Ben Griffin was there, wasn't.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
He he was. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I loved seeing them in all of the they went.
They had a de Valley party and most of them
dressed up in I'm not gonna say the name of
the cultural dress because I don't want to mess it up,
but most of them dressed up in traditional clothing, Indian clothing,
and it was it was great.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I love seeing that.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I particularly loved Victor Harvlin's Instagram stories from the.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Week because he's just like he's just a tourist. It's
such a nerd.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I love.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I love his you know, he's like riding in the
in the little tut cab thing and.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Oh he's the fascinating He's taking.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Pictures of everything. He's like a regular guy. He's so
excited to be there.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
But that's what you want, right when you get people
to come to your tournament. Obviously they we're trying to
promote India and the golf there, and I think they
someone like him does does such a good job at
that because he's so appreciative and he does want to
learn about different cultures, and he wants to get to
know the people, and you know, he's just he's very
invested in it. So I think he's perfect for it.
(16:30):
But also how cute is Frankie.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yes, So when Tommy was interviewed, Hanny was doing the
interview with Henney's All and apparently Tommy and his son
Frankie were talking about, you know, Dad, you've never won
when I've been able to run out onto the green
the week prior. And of course then Tommy uses that
(16:57):
as the proper motivation and Frankie gets to his young son,
I think he's probably like eight or nine, got to
run out and give him a big hug after the win,
which is a dream for most players. It was adorable
and Frankie's such a cute kid. You might remember him
from The Masters earlier this year when he was interviewed
during the Part three contest and said, you know, I'm
(17:19):
trying my hardest.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
It's not going to make it this year, but trying
my hardest.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
I think he's becoming more famous than Tommy. I love
a bit of Frankie content. I think he's helping Tommy
being yes, yes, like I just love Frankie. I love
Frankie and Tommy. It was a really cool moment. So
I always love when Tommy wins. He's such a I
don't know, he's just a good Ladinie. Like the way
that he speaks. He's just very humble and he's just
(17:45):
so good, like he's so good yet so humble. So
it's just it's always a little treat when he wins.
Well done, Tommy, a little treat.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
And something that was interesting about the golf course was
Deli Golf Club.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I believe is what it's called.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, it's shorter then what the guys would normally play,
so very few people actually play a driver at all.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Yeah, yeah, that's right. A lot of players took driver
out the hands into swetten irons and very words. But
I feel like that's kind of from my experience and
what I've seen it from golf in India, that's kind
of the way that it is. I don't know it's
because of the land or whatever, or the you know
the contours of it, but a lot of golf courses
that I've heard about in India a kind of that
(18:32):
similar narrative that was kind of the one that we
used to play as well, was kind of they kind
of took driver out your hand a lot. Plus it
was a narrow shit, so you kind of just want
us to dink it down there and get on the fairway.
So but it's cool. I think whenever you go to
a new country like that where it's not renowned for golf,
you know, it's not an America or Europe, I think
it's really cool. I think it's great to get involved
(18:53):
and get involved in the culture. And I thought they
did a great job that week of promoting it.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah, to have some of the big stars show up
to mix it very legit and goes the game there,
and sure fans were really excited to see the rorries
of the world.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
So good on.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Yeah, and so one other things when we went as well.
I've just remembered this because obviously there is a thing
called delly belly, like we're not used to, you know,
some of the food and stuff there, and so the
we used to get a little the room keepers whoever
I don't know who did it actually give us like
a little shot of whiskey, and we used to have
(19:32):
to have a little shot whiskey at night to kill
any bacteria and it worked. I never got delly belly.
There you go, there you go, su Whiskey keeps the
doctor away.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
And you were probably having a shot of whiskey anyway.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
No, Kira, when I was, when I was playing, I
was very sensible, thank you very much. It was very professional.
Only when I missed the cat, which was towards the
end of my career.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Fair okay, apologies, apology, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I should have known.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Over on the LPGA, say Young Kim won the BMW
Ladies Championship in Korea, her native Korea. She beat out
Nasa Hatka nearlim No. It was her first win in
five years, so a big deal for say Young and
to win on home soil in front of all those
Korean fans, I'm sure that was insane.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
So good on Sam.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Yeah, she's a great player, obviously, nothing else ready to
say about that. I thought she she's always kind of
up there. She's had I mean, I don't really know
what else to say. She well, she's such a good player,
like she should. I mean, she's won it alone. What
It's awesome. Okay, she did great, well done. She's so
(20:52):
good ki her like, I expect her to win multiple
times a year, I really do.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
She won.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
I don't know, because everything's so bloody hard to win
on the LPGA, it's I don't know. I don't know
if it's harder onan the PGA Tour. We'll get into
it at the end of the season because we have
so many different winners. I don't know. But she's such
a good player, like I don't think she's ever missed
a cut. I think she's missed like one cut. Like, honestly,
she's so good. She said a caddy on the bag
poorly for a long time. He's a great lad as well,
(21:21):
just a good team. So yeah, I'm very happy for her.
I think she's she's a bit quirky as well, which
I like, Like her golf game is a bit quirky,
like she kind of hits balls off balance and weird
follow throughs, and it's a bit like a Scottish chef
that e kind of vibe. And so I'm always I've
always been a big fan of saying Kim should I
(21:42):
proper stairs the shot down as well. Fun fact, really
like she's putting short, just like stare at the hole
and then put whereas a lot of players, actually she
does it right, A lot of players kind of stay
at at the ball too long. But anyway, we'll get
into that another time. But she's very I'm very happy
for her. She he a really good girl. I love
to say, I love you, still love playing with her.
(22:03):
Very talented and I'm really happy she she got it
done after five years in her home country. And then
it's International Crown this week as well, isn't it. Yes?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Okay, so tell us about International Crown, which I believe
is also going to be in Korea.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Yes, it is. So it's eighteen weeks. Yeah, it's changed
a little bit because that used to have to qualify.
But it's like this year's USA, South Korea, Republican Pupils
of China, I've said that wrong, China, Sweden, Australia, Japan, Thailand.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
And then.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
What was the last one, sorry, a World Team China.
But they it's something like People's Republic of China. It's yeah,
you got.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
It, okay, thank you great? Want to spend Agraphy show.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Well, I'm not very good at geography, as we know earlier.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
No no episode because earlier I'm talking about Please go
back to our very first every episode.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Actually, yeah, fantastic.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
It's it was the moment where I thought, you know what,
I think we've got something here, Jesus.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
I was just flustered. I know exactly where was, I
knew where Perrier was. I was just very flustered. And
end of story. So basically it's kind of like you
play around Robin and then it goes into a match
place situation. So yeah, when I actually when did I play?
Speaker 4 (23:35):
It?
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Got England qualified, so it's like twenty fifteen I think
it was, and so on. My team was Holly Kaiber
and Jodi Ewitt and the one and only Charlie Hall.
And this is a funny do you know this story
about International Crown.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Remember telling me so many Charlie Hole stories at this
point that they kind of run together.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
But I am so okay. So, first of all, International
Crown happens once every oh god, two years it is,
I think it's two years. So it's a really good
opportunity for you know, players that aren't part of Europe
or America to be in a match play kind of
situation like we do at Soulheim. Okay, but it's obviously
(24:18):
more than two teams. Anyway, long story short, we were
playing in Chicago and Charlie was going to Abitha the
week after International Crown. Now in Chicago at this time
of year was in the summer. It was, you know,
one hundred degrees really humid. It was really really hot,
like quite a demanding golf course. But she was more
(24:43):
concerned about Ibitha and about looking good for Ibtha. So
let's just say, let's just say she wasn't maybe getting
the calories in and the nutrition and hydration in that
she probably needed. And she was like working out like
an absolute beast in the evening, like going on the
(25:04):
elliptical for like an hour just to kind of get
like the six pack showing a bit, right. So I
kind of like had meant noticed it, and I said, Charlie,
you need to like it's so hot, like you need
to have some carbs basically like you know you are eating,
but you're not eating any carbs. Anyway, long story short,
we are playing Japan and it's a four ball, so
(25:29):
best ball okay, So like a really it's a very
like it's a fun format, but you have to shoot low.
Now I've played like dog shit okay the first like
I mean so bad. The first three days I played
with Charlie like the day before, and she basically carried
me like her back must have been so sore. So anyway,
i wake up in the morning, I'm warming up, and
I'm like hmm, and I'm playing with Charlie. I'm thinking,
(25:50):
where the hell is Charles and no sign of Charlie anyway,
So the captain at the time came up to me
and said, oh, Charlie's not feeling good. She's actually had
to go to hospital, she said, like an asthma attack
or something. I'm like, oh god, okay, yeah so she
so she she basically was really severely dehydrated, like she
was dehydrated and she'd overdone it. Basically, what what what
(26:11):
had happened? But I wasn't aware of this at the time. Now, Kira,
when I say I was playing bad, like it was
really fucking bad. And I had to play against these
two Japanese players on my own, okay, like yes, there's not.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
A way to shuffle it around. So you go to partner.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Who else would be there? There's only four players and
the other two are planing.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
With they're playing, so I just remember the envelope ra
all right.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
So I remember going down the first hole and I
parted it and they both missed their birdie person and
I thought, thank god, I can't. I can't lose tenan eight.
Like nine and eight's fine, but I can't lose tenn eight.
Right what happened? So I kind of keep playing and
I'm like, oh, I've made like a birdy. I'm like,
oh okay. So I'm like all square through like four
(26:57):
and then I'm like, oh okay, this this is going
a bit better than it's affected. I took them down
the eighteenth.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yeah, they hold like a They hold like a thirty
fuzz on me on seventeen to tie the hole, and
then I birdied the last and they hold like a
twenty foot. They were one up going down the eighteenth.
I birded the last and then they hold like a
twenty foot on top of me to win one up.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
But you're such a baller.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
No, I don't know where it came from, but like
I was holding a shot on the fairway, No, I
was holding shots on the fairway and then I played
dogshit again the next day. But anyway, so so I
get in. I'm obviously my main concern is Charles right,
because I'm like, gossh you all right? So I go
to a hotel room and she goes, oh, yeah, I
can I can you get? I said, do you need anything?
She was like, yeah, can you get me some pistachios.
(27:43):
I was like, that's so fucking random.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
So very specific.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Yeah. So I was like yeah sure, And I was like, right,
you're okay, charl shit, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm fine. I've
had a drip in me blah blah blah, I'm all good.
I said, okay, well, you know, eat some food and
try and get some liquid in you and you'll be right.
It's rain tomorrow, doctor mell advice. And so wow, we're
in the press conference the next day and we're just
(28:07):
like the guy was obviously. One of the reporters was
asking Charlie like, hey, how are you feeling beause I'm
feeling great, and they said what kind of you know,
did you take any medicine? And basically how did you
get being able to play today? And Charlie goes, yeah, yeah,
I had an IVF. She goes, yeah, yeah, one of
(28:31):
them RVs and't it made me feel well better in it?
And I looked at her and I went, I think
you've been in IVY. You're all same thing in it
IRVF r V and it's very actually significantly very different.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
In fact, the other one makes you feel horrific. Yes,
that makes you feel great.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Yes, So so yeah, that is my story. So Charlie
learned her lesson and she like she did. She was
not well, I don't think either, but yeah, I think
she just said, oh but it with the ex she
looked unbelieved.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Next week, which is the main thing, which is the
main thing, Yes, which was totally worth it. Good for
you with IVF as well treatment the week before fantastic.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
So wow, that's really impressive.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
That was my International Crown story.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
So this week these were two okay, and is she playing?
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Yeah, she's in the World team. Yeah, no, England didn't qualify,
but that's they've changed up a bit. So now it's
like a wild team. Okay, cool, yeah, but honestly, people
check it out. It's actually a really fun evan. I
love playing in it. It's really cool. Whenever you get
to represent your country or your continent or you know,
whoever it may be, is just a very proud moment.
But it's it's a really cool format, and it's cool
(29:52):
that you get to see the Korean girls and the
TI girls playing match play against other countries and you know,
teaming up in foursomes and for bull slide. Definitely go
and check it out. Is honestly a really good event
to check out.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I think that it's cool to see the Korean girls
and the TI girls because we don't get to see
them playing match play in a Solheim format and any
time professional golf cannot be seventy two.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Hole stroke play, yep is great.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Yeah, you know, the same thing every week can get
pretty boring and mundane, so love to seeing in format.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
So there's this interesting story going around.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
So a few weeks ago was the Men's mid Am,
which is a USGA championship, and a lot of the
participants were former professional golfers, you know, whether they made
it to the PGA Tour, they were Mini Tour players
or corn Furry Tour whatever, they have that sort of
professional experience. So it kind of started this debate of
(31:04):
should the Midam, which is supposed to be for amateurs,
be overrun by these guys that used to play professionally
at a really high level and cult Noost who you
might know from CBS from He Is a podcast, and
(31:26):
he also played professional golf for a really long time,
made hundreds of starts, millions of dollars on the PGA Tour,
and he said maybe he would try to get his
amateur status back and compete in the Midam And for him, famously,
the winner of the Midam gets a traditionally gets an
invitation to the Masters, and he, as an amateur, won
(31:49):
the USAM and the US Public Links and declined his
Master's invitation at the time in favor of beginning his
professional career, which he says was the best decision because
he ended up winning on the corn Ferry Tour, getting
his status on the PGA Tour and the rest of history,
but he never made it to the Masters. So for
(32:10):
him at this point, you know, playing in something like
the Midiam would probably be his only opportunity to.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Get into the Masters.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
So, as you can imagine, this started a massive uproar
online of if Colt were to try and play in
the Mediam of course, it would take him probably years.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
At this point to get his amateur status back.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Because it's correlated with how much money you made as
a professional. So this is like when we had Hollie
on and she wanted to get her amateur status back
because she wanted to try to qualify for the Mediam
and they were like, oh, you can have your ans
back right away because she never made a dollar. Yeah,
but we having Colt. Yeah, love how we Colt made
(32:54):
over four million dollars. So anyway, that's the story. I mean,
this is like, no, I think this is like if
you were to try and play in the in the MIDIAM.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
That's uh, it's kind of an interesting question.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
There's there's two things about that I wouldn't want to
first of all, So that would be my answer to that. Look,
I think that, you know, I looked at it into
a little bit more depth into it, and I think
last year six of the eight quarter finalists in the
Midam were reinstated professional golfers back into amateur ranks. I'm
(33:29):
a bit torn between it, if I'm completely honest, I
feel like, you know, Colt chose to play as professional.
He's had his opportunities, you know, to get Masters and
all these big events. You know, the mid Am is
for a very very highly skilled, highly dedicated golfer. They
either didn't quite make it into professional ranks or chose
(33:51):
not to go into professional ranks and chose to, you know,
choose another direction in their careers. And I just think
that it's it's a cool a story, you know, from
the dentist in Oklahoma that wins the mid Am and
gets into the Masters than it is for somebody like
a cult noost who has had many opportunities to try
(34:13):
and get in the Masters and didn't quite get there.
Is that right, Like he's never played a Master's right? No, yeah, yeah,
but he's had many opportunities. And so I listen, I
get why he wants to do it, and I don't
necessary I understand why he wants to do it, and
I don't necessarily think it's wrong. But I think it's
(34:34):
a better story that you know, like I said, like
the you know, Joe Blogs gets to qualify for the
Masters and it literally is the coolest experience of his life.
So that's where I'm at with it. I can see
why people get upset.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
I think it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
But at the end of the day, like he's entitled
to it, this period is going to follow the rules
and if he wants to, he can get his amateur
stats back.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
I agree on that, I just don't think that it
fits like the spirit of what that spot is for
for the masters. The reason that they give that spot
is part of their kind of grow the game initiative,
and you know that's why they have a spot for
the winner of the US Amateur, the winner of the
(35:19):
Asia Pacific Amateur, the like people from very different walks
of life of golf to have them have like a
well represented field that reflects the world of golf beyond
just your professional golfers of the world. So I think
that in that regard, he doesn't necessarily fit the ethos
(35:41):
of what the mid Am winner should be. However, he's
in there within his right for the rules, and the
USGA grants him his amateur status back then fair enough,
fair play to the lad as you would say, But
the master is also just because they have traditionally given
(36:02):
an invite to the winner of the Midam doesn't mean
that they would have to keep giving an invitation to
the Midam So he could go through all of this,
and then the powers that be at the at Augusta
could say, not the ship, Actually we're not We're not
going to extend or I invite this year, which would
be toughtating what.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
I can mention. Yeah, make a good point. I think
you make a great point.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
This is yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
I mean, I think it's great for golf to have
these types of discussions and if it's like a fascinating,
you know, philosophical conversation.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
This this is a problem years and years away from
actually materializing, and uh I bet by that time.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
I mean, Colt's a good, great golfer in all.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
But he's probably not going to be as good as
he is right now. Ten years from not one is
when is millions of dollars of amateur status finally cash in.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
But you never know, you never know.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
He's got he's got all those professor reps under his belt.
So perhaps that Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
We'll see, we'll see all how it all plans out.
I am not for me. I don't want to do that.
So no, no, I just say I actually really like
being a professional, like saying a professional golfer, Like even
though I'm retired, I can't quite proud to be a
professional golfer. So I yeah, like I busted my ass
to be a professional golfer, so I kind of want
(37:26):
to keep the status that was given to me.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Yeah, I would be curious to know.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
If you were to reach out to the USG and
ask them how long it would take you to get
your amateur status back.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
I'm just curious what that would look like.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
That would be quite fine.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
I don't I don't want you to know.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
That would be funny though, wouldn't it. I might actually
look into that.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
That would be quite fun just to give us a
data point.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Actually, yeah, I'll just text Mike one, Hey, Mike, my
key boy.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Maybe he'll he'll bump you up in there.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Because we've had a good Me and Mike. Yeah, we've
had a good couple of times. We had a couple
of bits.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
If you don't know who Mike is, he used to
be the commissioner of the LPGA. Now he's the CEO
of the USGA.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
Yeah, and he's a great lad.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Shush of the week, do you have a shush of
the week?
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Yes? Actually, house hunting is very stressful, and I don't
get that stressed that easily. And I'm having full blown
panic attacks. So well's we're moving to, Well, we want
to move to Colorado. Okay, if anybody on the podcast
has any advice, please let me know. We are moving
to Colorado, right, We're not going to put our house
(38:40):
in the market till January. We want to buy before
so that we can start moving stuff. But we're moving
into hopefully the house that we've we've found we're figuring
out is a brand new house. So like everything has
to be done, do you know what I mean? Like
blinds like this, Like I have to put all the
TVs back up and stuff like that, and so it's
just very stressful to kind of navigate that so that
(39:02):
when Carlie, because I'll probably have to go early for
Carlie and Kai for it to be liverable, Like we're
gonna have to buy it, Like we're going to pretty
much sell everything from our old house and take one truck.
But I need things to kind of already be there
for Carli and Kai to come. And then I also
don't need our house to look empty to sell, So
it's quite difficult. Does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (39:25):
So how about how about we hire a stager for
your house in Florida? For when it's ready to sell
and they come in and stage the house.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Oh that didn't you know what that is.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
We're going to solve this right now. Okay, Okay, So.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
When you decide to move all of your stuff to Colorado,
you'll get all of your stuff out of your old house.
You'll hire a very affordable stager to come in and
do like basically an Airbnb set up in your house.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
It'll take them a day. It'll cost you like seven
hundred dollars. It'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Okay, Okay, in Colorado, we will hire a nice designer person,
or you can hire somebody on the internet and they
can order everything for you. Tell them what you want.
They'll manage the entire project. This is my key to life.
This is throw money at the problem.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Okay, that's kind of not what we want to do,
but thank you. This is like what we're trying to
not do. Kira.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Well, I know there's an affordable way to do it.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Okay, Well, yeah, I would like some advice, please, yes,
because it stressed me out because I know that I
feel like I'm going to have to do everything and
it's stressing me out. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
I mean I feel that because I do a lot
for our house. It's just it's just my lane.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
It's my thing.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Yeah, not because I'm the woman in the relationship, but
because I am psycho and want things to look a
certain way and care more so.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Andrew's like, Okay, well, if you care about this, then you.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
Should do it. I'm gonna get you.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Don't need to have panic attacks about it. It'll be fine.
And it also like takes some time.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
As long as you have the basic furniture in there
that's livable and then the other stuff that you can
work on over.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
Time, it's okay, yeah, okay, okay, right sort Okay, I'm
going to call you about this in about three weeks.
I'll call you about it. I'll call you about it, okay.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Thank you, even just to talk for your feelings about it.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
Yeah, that would be great, thank you. You can be panic
attacks everything. This is what this spot is from.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Yeah, I know. Yeah, that's your anxiety Colorado spot.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Oh my god, what's your name her?
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Denver?
Speaker 3 (41:41):
Okay, okay, Denise.
Speaker 4 (41:44):
Golden, Denise, Denise, Denise, Denise, Denise what a bitch?
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Honestly, doesn't Denise know you're supposed to be on TV
this week?
Speaker 3 (41:55):
I well, actually, thank god, I'm not. I'm not on
TV micause I'm walking, thank god. Can you imagine?
Speaker 2 (42:01):
But you never know. They might be on camera for
a report that.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
They love to do. They love to do.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
Yeah, I'll make sure that the interview I'm gonna have
to do if you had to do the winter interview, No.
Speaker 3 (42:13):
I'm going to get one in pimple patches. But I'm
gonna have to do with my left hand, so we
can figure out here. It's TV. We just you got
to do things on the spot, haven't you? Quick thinking?
Speaker 2 (42:21):
Boomb the spot ray very clever?
Speaker 3 (42:26):
Okay, hell, okay, what's your shush of the week?
Speaker 2 (42:31):
Okay? Do you wear an aura ring or a whoop
or anything like that?
Speaker 3 (42:38):
So Carlie wears an or ring, she is obsessed with it.
I used to wear a whoop. I lost it. I
actually need a new one. So no, yeah, if anyone
will is it Will Helen? Who's the guy who owns whoop? Will?
What's the second name? Helen?
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Well?
Speaker 3 (42:55):
I hate don't know anyway, if he's listening, please, yeah,
that will? So? Yeah? And then I wear a garment occasionally,
but I can't wear things. I ripped them off in
the night, so I literally rip them off, like I
can't wear my ring or anything. I rip I throw
it across the room when I'm asleep. So no, I don't.
So that was a long an.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
No I know, okay, simple yes or no, we'll suffice.
Speaker 3 (43:20):
Okay, no, not really, but I should Okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
So I wear an.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
Order ring and I have been using it to track
my deep sleep. So my deep sleep stats are really
really bad. So my shish of the week is my
deep sleep.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
And I have been.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Doing everything, trying everything. I don't know if you have thoughts,
but I've been. I was taking magnesium supplement pills and
then I switched to a magnesium supplement powder to put
in water, and like, maybe that's better with the absorption.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
I used to read before bed. I stopped reading before bed.
Speaker 1 (43:57):
I made sure I wasn't watching TV before a certain
amount of time. I like optimize the temperature, the noise machine,
the blanket, like everything. I've done everything I could possibly
think of, and my deep sleep is still shit. I
literally woke up this morning and it was like, you
only got thirty eight minutes of deep sleep last night.
You're supposed to get like at least an hour and
twenty minutes to be Okay, I feel like if I
(44:20):
could just hack this one thing, I'll feel so much
better in life.
Speaker 2 (44:24):
And I can't even hack it.
Speaker 3 (44:26):
It's not it so a couple of things. Actually, I
don't sleep one of magnesium. It has like an opposite
effect on me, which is kind of odd, like I
sleep really bad on it. So maybe that number two.
I if I'm really struggling. Yeah, I don't know really.
(44:48):
I mean I used to meditate a little bit before bed,
but I mean I don't even do that anymore. I'm
quite my routine before bed. I need to get better.
I'm quite bad.
Speaker 5 (44:55):
No, I'm not a meditator, well, neither of my bait. No,
I'm just trying to get you my thoughts. You do
breath work. See, it's all.
Speaker 3 (45:06):
It's all bollocks.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
Really.
Speaker 3 (45:07):
I think I think we think too much. This is
what I think. Okay, I think we think too much,
and I think that we're all over stimulated and we
don't sleep as well as we used to, and so
we just need to just maybe not be as overstimulated,
maybe just chill out a bit.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
That's what I think you're telling me to calm the
f just calm.
Speaker 3 (45:26):
The fun just just just chill just Oh have you
ever done them? Like you know the calm app? Have
you ever done them? Stories on it? They do like
nice stories, so good.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
Yeah. So the problem is I'm very story and plot oriented,
so I stay up to listen to the story.
Speaker 3 (45:49):
They're talking about to happen. Next they'll talk about a
train going through a forest, and Harry's styles is narrating it. Yeah,
but what happens when the story boring story on the
pope hold.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
On every word, every word? It doesn't work for me.
But I've tried. I've tried just.
Speaker 3 (46:09):
Just chill out go. That's that's my piece with Vice.
Just relaxed, just relax.
Speaker 1 (46:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (46:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:15):
So my shosh of the week is my sleep. So
if anyone out there has thoughts, I am Sally.
Speaker 3 (46:21):
Are you like getting enough sleep?
Speaker 1 (46:24):
I I averaged just under eight hours, like around seven
hours and fifty but like if I could, and I
don't know why that, Like I'm in bed for a
long amount, I should be getting eight hours, but you
wake up lots of times through the night without realizing it,
and then that adds up to not getting my full
eight hours. But When I do crack my eight hours,
(46:45):
I always feel so much better, even that extra ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
So I'm doing my best.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
This is my two weeks of health, and maybe over
these next two weeks I'll nail this. But I think tonight,
tonight I'm going to go back to magnesium supplement pills
and compare the difference between the powder and the pills,
and if it's still bad, I'll then stop taking it
because but you know what, the in the morning, though,
(47:12):
I think it's great for that situation.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 3 (47:17):
What magnesium?
Speaker 1 (47:19):
Yeah, it makes everything be very smooth in the morning,
is it.
Speaker 2 (47:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (47:25):
Yeah, I've never reacted well to magnesium. Maybe I'm I
need to try a different one. I've always reacted quite
badly to it.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
It's consistent. Okay, No, I don't feel groggy, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (47:36):
You see, I do. Maybe I was just taking a
dodgy one. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (47:39):
Maybe, Yeah, you're taking some of brand.
Speaker 1 (47:42):
Yeah exactly, he knows what.
Speaker 3 (47:45):
Yeah, exactly, I forgot. I wish okay, all right, have
fun in Utah, Mel, thank you. Yeah, that was an
effort today, So that's not our fault, everybody. It was
Jeff Bey's so we will be better next week when
we're all at home. But Kira, I hope your health
(48:06):
journey goes well and I hope you get some ramsy.
Otherwise we'll be talking about it again next.

(00:25):
to Quiet Please. We are very very sorry that this
episode is coming out a day late, but it's not
our fault. You all can write to one Jeff Bezos
at Amazon dot com for your grievances. We tried to
record on Monday, our usual recording time, but our platform
was down to.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
The AWS outage.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
And the thing I'm most pissed about is I looked
so good that day tonight. Makeup, my hair looked great,
I had a great outfit for the pod. Like I
was really like, all right, I'm really gonna bring it
for the pod today, and today I just look so sad.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
You're a different sad. You still look great. I am
actually sad. I was telling you I've got my first
spot in about two years, an absolute crater on the
size of my neck, which I picked the whole flight
to Utah yesterday. So it's lucking good, gorgeous. Well, I know,
but I was nervous that people the kid next we
could see it, and so I picked it to make
it worse. So now it's absolutely ginormous. But yeah, I
(01:25):
mean it is what it is, just just doing stress.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Your stress is manifesting as acne. I know.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
And I've got one night on my chin as well somewhere,
but I've covered that one up. But this one on
my neck is pretty savage. And they hurt on your
neck as well, don't they. You know when you try
and squeeze it. You probably never had one. I don't
even know why masking.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Okay, okay, anyway, anyway, I'm really sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
That that's happening to you.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Great candle.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah, yeah, that's in prayers. The funniest tweet a star
or whatever recalling them these days.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Actually maybe it was all threads. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
The funniest thing I saw written about the AWS thing
was turns out America does not run on Duncan.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
It runs on Amazon Web Services. And that the truth
it is.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I mean, it affected my flight. I was going to
Denver first thing Monday morning, and that traffic control was down.
I don't know, Jeff, Jeff owns everything apparently and runs everything.
He runs the whole world and it went to shit
on Monday.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
America runs on Jeff, But I did have speaking of
great things I read on the internet, so you might
have heard of her.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Her name is carl Read.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
She posted this on her Instagram story and I thought
it was really cute, so I screenshoted it. She said, today,
I'm grateful for this coffee that I drank dot dot
dot hot dot dot dot in silence, and a wife
who spent all morning with an extremely cranky talk just
to help me recharge before she leaves for work tomorrow.
And yet dot dot she's setting her alarm for three
(03:07):
point thirty to catch a six am flight to Colorado
to squeeze in a house hunting trip, then right to
Utah to work her first PGA Tour event at Melreed
Golf is a rare one.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Did I sound like Carly a little bit?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah? No, so she's wrong. It's my second PGA Tour event,
which I was pissed at about. But I mean, that's
the least of my rowers in that sweet It was
a very nice. It was very nice. I'm so critical.
I'm such a bit. It was lovely.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
You messed it up, Carly, car it was my.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Second I know. Yeah, No, we're going through it a
little bit with Kay at the minute. I'm sure that
some if anyone's listening that has a TODDLERK can relate to.
He's just he's just feeling a lot of emotion right now.
He's everything is either the end of the world. He's
got a lot of big feelings, everything's the end of
the world. He asked for something, you'd give it to him,
he doesn't want to. He's then pissed at you, and
(03:58):
then he's pissed at you know, you're not holding him
a correct way. So it's just a lot of a
lot of emotions for the poor lad at the minute.
So we're just going through a little bit of a
of a spell with him. And I feel like Carli
probably needed a break as she is going to take
on a lot this week with him, so I thought
(04:19):
I would give her the morning off. And it was
a very long seven hours, a very long seven hours actually,
and I cleaned the house a little bit as well.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
By the way, Honestly, Carli, where was that in your Instagram?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I was very clear of the bogs. Yeah exactly. So look,
she does a lot, doesn't she so at the least
I can do is have a little morning with with
the old little temper tantrum kai. So he was we
had a nice morning. Actually, we had a lovely morning.
So whether he's cranky or now, he's still a lot
of fun.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
To be with.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
So but yeah, thanks for reading that out, thank you.
But it was is my second PJ sortment just to
heads up.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
So that's what Mala is doing this week.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
You are in Utah or the Bank of Utah yep,
Championship is that right?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, it's exactly where the where the
ladies played back in gosh when was that now? April?
March April. So it's a course that I'm familiar at.
I think it's an awesome golf courses.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
This is the Lava Course.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah, Lava. A lot of guys will be saying Lava luck,
Lava love or whatever the saying is. But look it's
it's it's so I'm doing on course this week and
you'll you'll understand this Cara exciting, I know, because most
golf courses is quite relatively easy to be a walker
(05:36):
because you can stand in certain spots and you can
see the ballflight and you can see everything. This golf
course is slightly different because there is so much lava
and elevation that you kind of have to go nuts
because otherwise the players you're kind of in the places
player's eye line and target line. So it's really hard
as a walker because you actually can only see a
(05:57):
certain amount of the golf ball and you can't see
it land and it can take random kicks. And so
I looked my lesson the hard way. It was my
first week concourse, and I learned that the hard way,
So I'm going to be a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Or did somebody tell you get out of my line?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
No, So they were like, oh, is that a good
T shirt? And I'm like, I don't know. I don't
know it went over the lava. I don't know if
it went into the fairway. Do you see what I'm saying,
like where it finishes. I don't know if it took
it back kick because I can't get far enough down
because I want you got to pay a T shirt.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yes, So it's a very difficult play by play.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah, if they come down to you and they're like, so, Mel,
what did you think, And you're like, well, I can't find.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
The ball, so yeah, yeah, yeah, so but it's it's
a good golf course and the players men and women
that the women did it as well. They kind of
go low here, which is wild because it's so tight
and you would think that it wouldn't be as low
as it is scoring wise. But listen, it's a beautiful spot.
You've got Zion just down the road. So I'm going
to go for a couple of night walks this morning
(07:04):
this week. Sorry in the morning. Ye yeah, it's like
it's called Snow Canyon, which has got an awesome, like
highest beautiful. I mean, it's it looks like you're in
a national park. So I'm going to do that in
the next couple of mornings. So it's just I love Utah.
I absolutely loved Utah. I think it's gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Andrew and I went to Utah for our honeymoon, did you.
We went to.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
This really fancy hotel in the middle of nowhere, and
then we went to Zion for a couple of nights.
So I wanted to stay at the nice hotel because
I had like a spot on everything. We just gotten
married and that's what people do, you deserve. But Andrew
is not about that life. Yeah, thank you, Andrew's not
about that life. So to balance things out, we found
there's this like Airbnb of camping essentially where people will
(07:53):
let you camp on their private land for like ten
dollars a night or something.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Okay, so we found this.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
We found this ranch that its view was Zion National Park. Oh,
so we camped on these this person's like giant field
in the middle of nowhere looking out at Zion.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
And it was sick.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
That's really cool.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
We did that because our original plan for our honeymoon
was to go play golf in Scotland, Ireland and do
all that. I know, I still still haven't done that,
but then COVID happened, so we didn't do any of that.
We went to Utah instead.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
It was yeah, I love Utah. I went we went
skiing here or snowboarding, and then yeah, I love Utah.
I absolutely. I mean it's it's gorgeous. Whoever, people who
haven't been, you should go. It's it really is beautiful.
Just not you can't really drink here though. Any downside,
it's quite difficult to get drunk, which is a good thing.
I know, I mean I wouldn't be drinking anyway.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
This week.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
But I'm just saying if when we went snowboarding, it
was quite difficult.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Just just because of because they don't have I think
it's not as much alcohol.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I think it's because of the Mormons.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
The Mormons. Yeah, like they're quite restricted. Like the beer's
not a strong Yeah. Yeah, it's not a bad thing. Yeah,
it's not a bad thing.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It's probably for the best for our health.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yeah, I know, I know, probably we should all learn
a lesson there. But when I was snowboarding, I noticed it.
I was like, oh, I can't this is this is weird,
Like everything was measured perfectly, which I found quite odd
because in America it's like free poor, isn't it so?
But look, not a bad thing. I think Utah is awesome.
I love coming to Utah. I think it's a beautiful place.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
So I'm digging it this week, Heira, I am not
traveling for the next For this week and next week
at all.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Two weeks, two entire weeks in my house.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Every day I have gone to some sort of workout
class every day after making all my own meals.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I'm not doing any drinking.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Why.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I am just a picture picture of health. Journey to
health you're feeling better. I'm feeling great.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Mal Okay, congratulations, I mean a big news, are you?
Are you actually going to do it for two weeks though?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yeah? Okay, I've got nothing else to do.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Okay. What's the longest you've gone without drinking?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
A long time? Months?
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Have you?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
What about you?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
What's the longest I've gone without drinking? Probably like three months?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yeah, thank you?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
All right, So moving on, we have we have lots
to get through today. There's been a lot happening in
the world of golf. One thing I wanted to talk
to you about before we do move on is the
event that I hosted with Titleist last week. I looked
very cool, which thank you yes, which was super sick.
(10:56):
And a lot of the girls that were at the
event listen to the show and we're very excited to
tell me that they listened to the show, which was
really sweet. So I just wanted to say specific thank
you to Gabby, Cassie, Lisa, Mika, Tiffany, Kristen, Liz and
(11:19):
Elsa for all coming out to Ocean Side, to TPI
to this day of golf fittings. The titleist let me
host and they all got to go through like a
full fitting, professional fitting with an expert fitter. They got
to do like the full if anybody listened to our
Dave Phillips TPI episode, the full Dave Phillips style Greg
(11:42):
Rose style body Assessment.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
They got evokey wedges fitting.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
They they titleists just like and be on with the
merch And they hosted a putting contest for us. We
had sharcooterie, We have pizza, we had wine. We had
to play the short course like the Daniel like runs
the facility a TPI and does all the hospitality and
he was like driving around in a golf cart with
the charcuterie for everybody, and we were like, wow, this
(12:09):
is a woman's dream, like guys like a cart girl
and we got a charcuterie boy, and yeah, I love epic.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Like it was so it was so perfect.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
It the sun was setting in San Diego, it was
so gorgeous, vibes were amazing, everybody was just so happy
to be there and it just was like the you know,
one of those you capture that magic that getting in a
group of really cool women together to play golf always brings.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
It was really special. So I wanted to make sure
share about our experience.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I thought that was really cool that you did that
as well, because a lot of this stuff happens with
men's stuff, doesn't it, But it doesn't happen very often
with women. So I'm proud of you. Care. I thought
that was a very cool thing to do, very cool
way to get women excited about golf. Who doesn't love
a fucking cue too? How do you say it, Charcuteri, Charcuterie, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, God,
(13:03):
I love I always say wrong, I say char you
can say.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
You can say it however you want.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Thank you, meat and cheeseboard, a bit of olives. So yeah,
I think that's awesome. Fair play to titleist, by the way,
for for you know, stepping up and making everybody feel great.
So well done, Kira. That's an awesome thing for you
to do, and I'm sure all the ladies absolutely adord it.
So good for you, girl, I think so too good.
Thank you, Thank you, You're welcome.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Now we can talk about all the other things.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Okay, now we've got that with over with no that
we've got the important thing with first.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I didn't want it to get too far into the
show without mentioning it because it's top of my mind.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
It's important, all right, So.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Let's uh whined a little bit in the week of golf.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
We know that we're a day behind, but still wanted
to make sure we get to talk about all of
these things.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Tommy, lad isn't it me? Yeah? Tom, Tom?
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yes, have you ever been to India? No?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I haven't it used to do that?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yeah, yes I have. Actually we played an LT event
there years ago, I think twenty forteen fifteen, and it's
it's yeah, honestly, like the people there are so lovely.
The golf course that we played. Have you ever seen
that golf course that they used to play? I think
the DP Wiltour used to play there. It's like horrific.
(14:42):
It's well, it's not horrific, but it's like it's a
really quirky design. Like the seventeenth hole is like a
wedge few second shot, and it's like plays forty yards uphill,
and it's got like rocks everywhere, and like outbounds is
like two feet away from a certain green and things.
It's just like my idea of hell. But the people
are awesome. I absolutely loved to visit in India. They
treated as like ryalty. Yeah, it's like the one place
(15:06):
that my dad has always wanted to go is India.
Like it's just yeah, I can't say enough about everybody
was so lovely there. But yeah, Tommy lad won there.
That had a really good field. Roy Mcinroy's, Shane Lowry,
Ben Griffin was there, wasn't.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
He he was. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I loved seeing them in all of the they went.
They had a de Valley party and most of them
dressed up in I'm not gonna say the name of
the cultural dress because I don't want to mess it up,
but most of them dressed up in traditional clothing, Indian clothing,
and it was it was great.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I love seeing that.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I particularly loved Victor Harvlin's Instagram stories from the.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Week because he's just like he's just a tourist. It's
such a nerd.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I love.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I love his you know, he's like riding in the
in the little tut cab thing and.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Oh he's the fascinating He's taking.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Pictures of everything. He's like a regular guy. He's so
excited to be there.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
But that's what you want, right when you get people
to come to your tournament. Obviously they we're trying to
promote India and the golf there, and I think they
someone like him does does such a good job at
that because he's so appreciative and he does want to
learn about different cultures, and he wants to get to
know the people, and you know, he's just he's very
invested in it. So I think he's perfect for it.
(16:30):
But also how cute is Frankie.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yes, So when Tommy was interviewed, Hanny was doing the
interview with Henney's All and apparently Tommy and his son
Frankie were talking about, you know, Dad, you've never won
when I've been able to run out onto the green
the week prior. And of course then Tommy uses that
(16:57):
as the proper motivation and Frankie gets to his young son,
I think he's probably like eight or nine, got to
run out and give him a big hug after the win,
which is a dream for most players. It was adorable
and Frankie's such a cute kid. You might remember him
from The Masters earlier this year when he was interviewed
during the Part three contest and said, you know, I'm
(17:19):
trying my hardest.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
It's not going to make it this year, but trying
my hardest.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
I think he's becoming more famous than Tommy. I love
a bit of Frankie content. I think he's helping Tommy
being yes, yes, like I just love Frankie. I love
Frankie and Tommy. It was a really cool moment. So
I always love when Tommy wins. He's such a I
don't know, he's just a good Ladinie. Like the way
that he speaks. He's just very humble and he's just
(17:45):
so good, like he's so good yet so humble. So
it's just it's always a little treat when he wins.
Well done, Tommy, a little treat.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
And something that was interesting about the golf course was
Deli Golf Club.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I believe is what it's called.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, it's shorter then what the guys would normally play,
so very few people actually play a driver at all.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Yeah, yeah, that's right. A lot of players took driver
out the hands into swetten irons and very words. But
I feel like that's kind of from my experience and
what I've seen it from golf in India, that's kind
of the way that it is. I don't know it's
because of the land or whatever, or the you know
the contours of it, but a lot of golf courses
that I've heard about in India a kind of that
(18:32):
similar narrative that was kind of the one that we
used to play as well, was kind of they kind
of took driver out your hand a lot. Plus it
was a narrow shit, so you kind of just want
us to dink it down there and get on the fairway.
So but it's cool. I think whenever you go to
a new country like that where it's not renowned for golf,
you know, it's not an America or Europe, I think
it's really cool. I think it's great to get involved
(18:53):
and get involved in the culture. And I thought they
did a great job that week of promoting it.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah, to have some of the big stars show up
to mix it very legit and goes the game there,
and sure fans were really excited to see the rorries
of the world.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
So good on.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Yeah, and so one other things when we went as well.
I've just remembered this because obviously there is a thing
called delly belly, like we're not used to, you know,
some of the food and stuff there, and so the
we used to get a little the room keepers whoever
I don't know who did it actually give us like
a little shot of whiskey, and we used to have
(19:32):
to have a little shot whiskey at night to kill
any bacteria and it worked. I never got delly belly.
There you go, there you go, su Whiskey keeps the
doctor away.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
And you were probably having a shot of whiskey anyway.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
No, Kira, when I was, when I was playing, I
was very sensible, thank you very much. It was very professional.
Only when I missed the cat, which was towards the
end of my career.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Fair okay, apologies, apology, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I should have known.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Over on the LPGA, say Young Kim won the BMW
Ladies Championship in Korea, her native Korea. She beat out
Nasa Hatka nearlim No. It was her first win in
five years, so a big deal for say Young and
to win on home soil in front of all those
Korean fans, I'm sure that was insane.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
So good on Sam.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Yeah, she's a great player, obviously, nothing else ready to
say about that. I thought she she's always kind of
up there. She's had I mean, I don't really know
what else to say. She well, she's such a good player,
like she should. I mean, she's won it alone. What
It's awesome. Okay, she did great, well done. She's so
(20:52):
good ki her like, I expect her to win multiple
times a year, I really do.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
She won.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
I don't know, because everything's so bloody hard to win
on the LPGA, it's I don't know. I don't know
if it's harder onan the PGA Tour. We'll get into
it at the end of the season because we have
so many different winners. I don't know. But she's such
a good player, like I don't think she's ever missed
a cut. I think she's missed like one cut. Like, honestly,
she's so good. She said a caddy on the bag
poorly for a long time. He's a great lad as well,
(21:21):
just a good team. So yeah, I'm very happy for her.
I think she's she's a bit quirky as well, which
I like, Like her golf game is a bit quirky,
like she kind of hits balls off balance and weird
follow throughs, and it's a bit like a Scottish chef
that e kind of vibe. And so I'm always I've
always been a big fan of saying Kim should I
(21:42):
proper stairs the shot down as well. Fun fact, really
like she's putting short, just like stare at the hole
and then put whereas a lot of players, actually she
does it right, A lot of players kind of stay
at at the ball too long. But anyway, we'll get
into that another time. But she's very I'm very happy
for her. She he a really good girl. I love
to say, I love you, still love playing with her.
(22:03):
Very talented and I'm really happy she she got it
done after five years in her home country. And then
it's International Crown this week as well, isn't it. Yes?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Okay, so tell us about International Crown, which I believe
is also going to be in Korea.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Yes, it is. So it's eighteen weeks. Yeah, it's changed
a little bit because that used to have to qualify.
But it's like this year's USA, South Korea, Republican Pupils
of China, I've said that wrong, China, Sweden, Australia, Japan, Thailand.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
And then.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
What was the last one, sorry, a World Team China.
But they it's something like People's Republic of China. It's yeah,
you got.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
It, okay, thank you great? Want to spend Agraphy show.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Well, I'm not very good at geography, as we know earlier.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
No no episode because earlier I'm talking about Please go
back to our very first every episode.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Actually, yeah, fantastic.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
It's it was the moment where I thought, you know what,
I think we've got something here, Jesus.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
I was just flustered. I know exactly where was, I
knew where Perrier was. I was just very flustered. And
end of story. So basically it's kind of like you
play around Robin and then it goes into a match
place situation. So yeah, when I actually when did I play?
Speaker 4 (23:35):
It?
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Got England qualified, so it's like twenty fifteen I think
it was, and so on. My team was Holly Kaiber
and Jodi Ewitt and the one and only Charlie Hall.
And this is a funny do you know this story
about International Crown.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Remember telling me so many Charlie Hole stories at this
point that they kind of run together.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
But I am so okay. So, first of all, International
Crown happens once every oh god, two years it is,
I think it's two years. So it's a really good
opportunity for you know, players that aren't part of Europe
or America to be in a match play kind of
situation like we do at Soulheim. Okay, but it's obviously
(24:18):
more than two teams. Anyway, long story short, we were
playing in Chicago and Charlie was going to Abitha the
week after International Crown. Now in Chicago at this time
of year was in the summer. It was, you know,
one hundred degrees really humid. It was really really hot,
like quite a demanding golf course. But she was more
(24:43):
concerned about Ibitha and about looking good for Ibtha. So
let's just say, let's just say she wasn't maybe getting
the calories in and the nutrition and hydration in that
she probably needed. And she was like working out like
an absolute beast in the evening, like going on the
(25:04):
elliptical for like an hour just to kind of get
like the six pack showing a bit, right. So I
kind of like had meant noticed it, and I said, Charlie,
you need to like it's so hot, like you need
to have some carbs basically like you know you are eating,
but you're not eating any carbs. Anyway, long story short,
we are playing Japan and it's a four ball, so
(25:29):
best ball okay, So like a really it's a very
like it's a fun format, but you have to shoot low.
Now I've played like dog shit okay the first like
I mean so bad. The first three days I played
with Charlie like the day before, and she basically carried
me like her back must have been so sore. So anyway,
i wake up in the morning, I'm warming up, and
I'm like hmm, and I'm playing with Charlie. I'm thinking,
(25:50):
where the hell is Charles and no sign of Charlie anyway,
So the captain at the time came up to me
and said, oh, Charlie's not feeling good. She's actually had
to go to hospital, she said, like an asthma attack
or something. I'm like, oh god, okay, yeah so she
so she she basically was really severely dehydrated, like she
was dehydrated and she'd overdone it. Basically, what what what
(26:11):
had happened? But I wasn't aware of this at the time. Now, Kira,
when I say I was playing bad, like it was
really fucking bad. And I had to play against these
two Japanese players on my own, okay, like yes, there's not.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
A way to shuffle it around. So you go to partner.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Who else would be there? There's only four players and
the other two are planing.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
With they're playing, so I just remember the envelope ra
all right.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
So I remember going down the first hole and I
parted it and they both missed their birdie person and
I thought, thank god, I can't. I can't lose tenan eight.
Like nine and eight's fine, but I can't lose tenn eight.
Right what happened? So I kind of keep playing and
I'm like, oh, I've made like a birdy. I'm like,
oh okay. So I'm like all square through like four
(26:57):
and then I'm like, oh okay, this this is going
a bit better than it's affected. I took them down
the eighteenth.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yeah, they hold like a They hold like a thirty
fuzz on me on seventeen to tie the hole, and
then I birdied the last and they hold like a
twenty foot. They were one up going down the eighteenth.
I birded the last and then they hold like a
twenty foot on top of me to win one up.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
But you're such a baller.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
No, I don't know where it came from, but like
I was holding a shot on the fairway, No, I
was holding shots on the fairway and then I played
dogshit again the next day. But anyway, so so I
get in. I'm obviously my main concern is Charles right,
because I'm like, gossh you all right? So I go
to a hotel room and she goes, oh, yeah, I
can I can you get? I said, do you need anything?
She was like, yeah, can you get me some pistachios.
(27:43):
I was like, that's so fucking random.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
So very specific.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Yeah. So I was like yeah sure, And I was like, right,
you're okay, charl shit, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm fine. I've
had a drip in me blah blah blah, I'm all good.
I said, okay, well, you know, eat some food and
try and get some liquid in you and you'll be right.
It's rain tomorrow, doctor mell advice. And so wow, we're
in the press conference the next day and we're just
(28:07):
like the guy was obviously. One of the reporters was
asking Charlie like, hey, how are you feeling beause I'm
feeling great, and they said what kind of you know,
did you take any medicine? And basically how did you
get being able to play today? And Charlie goes, yeah, yeah,
I had an IVF. She goes, yeah, yeah, one of
(28:31):
them RVs and't it made me feel well better in it?
And I looked at her and I went, I think
you've been in IVY. You're all same thing in it
IRVF r V and it's very actually significantly very different.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
In fact, the other one makes you feel horrific. Yes,
that makes you feel great.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Yes, So so yeah, that is my story. So Charlie
learned her lesson and she like she did. She was
not well, I don't think either, but yeah, I think
she just said, oh but it with the ex she
looked unbelieved.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Next week, which is the main thing, which is the
main thing, Yes, which was totally worth it. Good for
you with IVF as well treatment the week before fantastic.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
So wow, that's really impressive.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
That was my International Crown story.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
So this week these were two okay, and is she playing?
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Yeah, she's in the World team. Yeah, no, England didn't qualify,
but that's they've changed up a bit. So now it's
like a wild team. Okay, cool, yeah, but honestly, people
check it out. It's actually a really fun evan. I
love playing in it. It's really cool. Whenever you get
to represent your country or your continent or you know,
whoever it may be, is just a very proud moment.
But it's it's a really cool format, and it's cool
(29:52):
that you get to see the Korean girls and the
TI girls playing match play against other countries and you know,
teaming up in foursomes and for bull slide. Definitely go
and check it out. Is honestly a really good event
to check out.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I think that it's cool to see the Korean girls
and the TI girls because we don't get to see
them playing match play in a Solheim format and any
time professional golf cannot be seventy two.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Hole stroke play, yep is great.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Yeah, you know, the same thing every week can get
pretty boring and mundane, so love to seeing in format.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
So there's this interesting story going around.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
So a few weeks ago was the Men's mid Am,
which is a USGA championship, and a lot of the
participants were former professional golfers, you know, whether they made
it to the PGA Tour, they were Mini Tour players
or corn Furry Tour whatever, they have that sort of
professional experience. So it kind of started this debate of
(31:04):
should the Midam, which is supposed to be for amateurs,
be overrun by these guys that used to play professionally
at a really high level and cult Noost who you
might know from CBS from He Is a podcast, and
(31:26):
he also played professional golf for a really long time,
made hundreds of starts, millions of dollars on the PGA Tour,
and he said maybe he would try to get his
amateur status back and compete in the Midam And for him, famously,
the winner of the Midam gets a traditionally gets an
invitation to the Masters, and he, as an amateur, won
(31:49):
the USAM and the US Public Links and declined his
Master's invitation at the time in favor of beginning his
professional career, which he says was the best decision because
he ended up winning on the corn Ferry Tour, getting
his status on the PGA Tour and the rest of history,
but he never made it to the Masters. So for
(32:10):
him at this point, you know, playing in something like
the Midiam would probably be his only opportunity to.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Get into the Masters.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
So, as you can imagine, this started a massive uproar
online of if Colt were to try and play in
the Mediam of course, it would take him probably years.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
At this point to get his amateur status back.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Because it's correlated with how much money you made as
a professional. So this is like when we had Hollie
on and she wanted to get her amateur status back
because she wanted to try to qualify for the Mediam
and they were like, oh, you can have your ans
back right away because she never made a dollar. Yeah,
but we having Colt. Yeah, love how we Colt made
(32:54):
over four million dollars. So anyway, that's the story. I mean,
this is like, no, I think this is like if
you were to try and play in the in the MIDIAM.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
That's uh, it's kind of an interesting question.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
There's there's two things about that I wouldn't want to
first of all, So that would be my answer to that. Look,
I think that, you know, I looked at it into
a little bit more depth into it, and I think
last year six of the eight quarter finalists in the
Midam were reinstated professional golfers back into amateur ranks. I'm
(33:29):
a bit torn between it, if I'm completely honest, I
feel like, you know, Colt chose to play as professional.
He's had his opportunities, you know, to get Masters and
all these big events. You know, the mid Am is
for a very very highly skilled, highly dedicated golfer. They
either didn't quite make it into professional ranks or chose
(33:51):
not to go into professional ranks and chose to, you know,
choose another direction in their careers. And I just think
that it's it's a cool a story, you know, from
the dentist in Oklahoma that wins the mid Am and
gets into the Masters than it is for somebody like
a cult noost who has had many opportunities to try
(34:13):
and get in the Masters and didn't quite get there.
Is that right, Like he's never played a Master's right? No, yeah, yeah,
but he's had many opportunities. And so I listen, I
get why he wants to do it, and I don't
necessary I understand why he wants to do it, and
I don't necessarily think it's wrong. But I think it's
(34:34):
a better story that you know, like I said, like
the you know, Joe Blogs gets to qualify for the
Masters and it literally is the coolest experience of his life.
So that's where I'm at with it. I can see
why people get upset.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
I think it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
But at the end of the day, like he's entitled
to it, this period is going to follow the rules
and if he wants to, he can get his amateur
stats back.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
I agree on that, I just don't think that it
fits like the spirit of what that spot is for
for the masters. The reason that they give that spot
is part of their kind of grow the game initiative,
and you know that's why they have a spot for
the winner of the US Amateur, the winner of the
(35:19):
Asia Pacific Amateur, the like people from very different walks
of life of golf to have them have like a
well represented field that reflects the world of golf beyond
just your professional golfers of the world. So I think
that in that regard, he doesn't necessarily fit the ethos
(35:41):
of what the mid Am winner should be. However, he's
in there within his right for the rules, and the
USGA grants him his amateur status back then fair enough,
fair play to the lad as you would say, But
the master is also just because they have traditionally given
(36:02):
an invite to the winner of the Midam doesn't mean
that they would have to keep giving an invitation to
the Midam So he could go through all of this,
and then the powers that be at the at Augusta
could say, not the ship, Actually we're not We're not
going to extend or I invite this year, which would
be toughtating what.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
I can mention. Yeah, make a good point. I think
you make a great point.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
This is yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
I mean, I think it's great for golf to have
these types of discussions and if it's like a fascinating,
you know, philosophical conversation.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
This this is a problem years and years away from
actually materializing, and uh I bet by that time.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
I mean, Colt's a good, great golfer in all.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
But he's probably not going to be as good as
he is right now. Ten years from not one is
when is millions of dollars of amateur status finally cash in.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
But you never know, you never know.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
He's got he's got all those professor reps under his belt.
So perhaps that Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
We'll see, we'll see all how it all plans out.
I am not for me. I don't want to do that.
So no, no, I just say I actually really like
being a professional, like saying a professional golfer, Like even
though I'm retired, I can't quite proud to be a
professional golfer. So I yeah, like I busted my ass
to be a professional golfer, so I kind of want
(37:26):
to keep the status that was given to me.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Yeah, I would be curious to know.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
If you were to reach out to the USG and
ask them how long it would take you to get
your amateur status back.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
I'm just curious what that would look like.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
That would be quite fine.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
I don't I don't want you to know.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
That would be funny though, wouldn't it. I might actually
look into that.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
That would be quite fun just to give us a
data point.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Actually, yeah, I'll just text Mike one, Hey, Mike, my
key boy.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Maybe he'll he'll bump you up in there.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Because we've had a good Me and Mike. Yeah, we've
had a good couple of times. We had a couple
of bits.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
If you don't know who Mike is, he used to
be the commissioner of the LPGA. Now he's the CEO
of the USGA.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
Yeah, and he's a great lad.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Shush of the week, do you have a shush of
the week?
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Yes? Actually, house hunting is very stressful, and I don't
get that stressed that easily. And I'm having full blown
panic attacks. So well's we're moving to, Well, we want
to move to Colorado. Okay, if anybody on the podcast
has any advice, please let me know. We are moving
to Colorado, right, We're not going to put our house
(38:40):
in the market till January. We want to buy before
so that we can start moving stuff. But we're moving
into hopefully the house that we've we've found we're figuring
out is a brand new house. So like everything has
to be done, do you know what I mean? Like
blinds like this, Like I have to put all the
TVs back up and stuff like that, and so it's
just very stressful to kind of navigate that so that
(39:02):
when Carlie, because I'll probably have to go early for
Carlie and Kai for it to be liverable, Like we're
gonna have to buy it, Like we're going to pretty
much sell everything from our old house and take one truck.
But I need things to kind of already be there
for Carli and Kai to come. And then I also
don't need our house to look empty to sell, So
it's quite difficult. Does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (39:25):
So how about how about we hire a stager for
your house in Florida? For when it's ready to sell
and they come in and stage the house.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Oh that didn't you know what that is.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
We're going to solve this right now. Okay, Okay, So.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
When you decide to move all of your stuff to Colorado,
you'll get all of your stuff out of your old house.
You'll hire a very affordable stager to come in and
do like basically an Airbnb set up in your house.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
It'll take them a day. It'll cost you like seven
hundred dollars. It'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Okay, Okay, in Colorado, we will hire a nice designer person,
or you can hire somebody on the internet and they
can order everything for you. Tell them what you want.
They'll manage the entire project. This is my key to life.
This is throw money at the problem.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Okay, that's kind of not what we want to do,
but thank you. This is like what we're trying to
not do. Kira.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Well, I know there's an affordable way to do it.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Okay, Well, yeah, I would like some advice, please, yes,
because it stressed me out because I know that I
feel like I'm going to have to do everything and
it's stressing me out. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
I mean I feel that because I do a lot
for our house. It's just it's just my lane.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
It's my thing.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Yeah, not because I'm the woman in the relationship, but
because I am psycho and want things to look a
certain way and care more so.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Andrew's like, Okay, well, if you care about this, then you.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
Should do it. I'm gonna get you.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Don't need to have panic attacks about it. It'll be fine.
And it also like takes some time.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
As long as you have the basic furniture in there
that's livable and then the other stuff that you can
work on over.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
Time, it's okay, yeah, okay, okay, right sort Okay, I'm
going to call you about this in about three weeks.
I'll call you about it. I'll call you about it, okay.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Thank you, even just to talk for your feelings about it.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
Yeah, that would be great, thank you. You can be panic
attacks everything. This is what this spot is from.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Yeah, I know. Yeah, that's your anxiety Colorado spot.
Speaker 3 (41:35):
Oh my god, what's your name her?
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Denver?
Speaker 3 (41:41):
Okay, okay, Denise.
Speaker 4 (41:44):
Golden, Denise, Denise, Denise, Denise, Denise what a bitch?
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Honestly, doesn't Denise know you're supposed to be on TV
this week?
Speaker 3 (41:55):
I well, actually, thank god, I'm not. I'm not on
TV micause I'm walking, thank god. Can you imagine?
Speaker 2 (42:01):
But you never know. They might be on camera for
a report that.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
They love to do. They love to do.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
Yeah, I'll make sure that the interview I'm gonna have
to do if you had to do the winter interview, No.
Speaker 3 (42:13):
I'm going to get one in pimple patches. But I'm
gonna have to do with my left hand, so we
can figure out here. It's TV. We just you got
to do things on the spot, haven't you? Quick thinking?
Speaker 2 (42:21):
Boomb the spot ray very clever?
Speaker 3 (42:26):
Okay, hell, okay, what's your shush of the week?
Speaker 2 (42:31):
Okay? Do you wear an aura ring or a whoop
or anything like that?
Speaker 3 (42:38):
So Carlie wears an or ring, she is obsessed with it.
I used to wear a whoop. I lost it. I
actually need a new one. So no, yeah, if anyone
will is it Will Helen? Who's the guy who owns whoop? Will?
What's the second name? Helen?
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Well?
Speaker 3 (42:55):
I hate don't know anyway, if he's listening, please, yeah,
that will? So? Yeah? And then I wear a garment occasionally,
but I can't wear things. I ripped them off in
the night, so I literally rip them off, like I
can't wear my ring or anything. I rip I throw
it across the room when I'm asleep. So no, I don't.
So that was a long an.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
No I know, okay, simple yes or no, we'll suffice.
Speaker 3 (43:20):
Okay, no, not really, but I should Okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
So I wear an.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
Order ring and I have been using it to track
my deep sleep. So my deep sleep stats are really
really bad. So my shish of the week is my
deep sleep.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
And I have been.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Doing everything, trying everything. I don't know if you have thoughts,
but I've been. I was taking magnesium supplement pills and
then I switched to a magnesium supplement powder to put
in water, and like, maybe that's better with the absorption.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
I used to read before bed. I stopped reading before bed.
Speaker 1 (43:57):
I made sure I wasn't watching TV before a certain
amount of time. I like optimize the temperature, the noise machine,
the blanket, like everything. I've done everything I could possibly
think of, and my deep sleep is still shit. I
literally woke up this morning and it was like, you
only got thirty eight minutes of deep sleep last night.
You're supposed to get like at least an hour and
twenty minutes to be Okay, I feel like if I
(44:20):
could just hack this one thing, I'll feel so much
better in life.
Speaker 2 (44:24):
And I can't even hack it.
Speaker 3 (44:26):
It's not it so a couple of things. Actually, I
don't sleep one of magnesium. It has like an opposite
effect on me, which is kind of odd, like I
sleep really bad on it. So maybe that number two.
I if I'm really struggling. Yeah, I don't know really.
(44:48):
I mean I used to meditate a little bit before bed,
but I mean I don't even do that anymore. I'm
quite my routine before bed. I need to get better.
I'm quite bad.
Speaker 5 (44:55):
No, I'm not a meditator, well, neither of my bait. No,
I'm just trying to get you my thoughts. You do
breath work. See, it's all.
Speaker 3 (45:06):
It's all bollocks.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
Really.
Speaker 3 (45:07):
I think I think we think too much. This is
what I think. Okay, I think we think too much,
and I think that we're all over stimulated and we
don't sleep as well as we used to, and so
we just need to just maybe not be as overstimulated,
maybe just chill out a bit.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
That's what I think you're telling me to calm the
f just calm.
Speaker 3 (45:26):
The fun just just just chill just Oh have you
ever done them? Like you know the calm app? Have
you ever done them? Stories on it? They do like
nice stories, so good.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
Yeah. So the problem is I'm very story and plot oriented,
so I stay up to listen to the story.
Speaker 3 (45:49):
They're talking about to happen. Next they'll talk about a
train going through a forest, and Harry's styles is narrating it. Yeah,
but what happens when the story boring story on the
pope hold.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
On every word, every word? It doesn't work for me.
But I've tried. I've tried just.
Speaker 3 (46:09):
Just chill out go. That's that's my piece with Vice.
Just relaxed, just relax.
Speaker 1 (46:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (46:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:15):
So my shosh of the week is my sleep. So
if anyone out there has thoughts, I am Sally.
Speaker 3 (46:21):
Are you like getting enough sleep?
Speaker 1 (46:24):
I I averaged just under eight hours, like around seven
hours and fifty but like if I could, and I
don't know why that, Like I'm in bed for a
long amount, I should be getting eight hours, but you
wake up lots of times through the night without realizing it,
and then that adds up to not getting my full
eight hours. But When I do crack my eight hours,
(46:45):
I always feel so much better, even that extra ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
So I'm doing my best.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
This is my two weeks of health, and maybe over
these next two weeks I'll nail this. But I think tonight,
tonight I'm going to go back to magnesium supplement pills
and compare the difference between the powder and the pills,
and if it's still bad, I'll then stop taking it
because but you know what, the in the morning, though,
(47:12):
I think it's great for that situation.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 3 (47:17):
What magnesium?
Speaker 1 (47:19):
Yeah, it makes everything be very smooth in the morning,
is it.
Speaker 2 (47:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (47:25):
Yeah, I've never reacted well to magnesium. Maybe I'm I
need to try a different one. I've always reacted quite
badly to it.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
It's consistent. Okay, No, I don't feel groggy, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (47:36):
You see, I do. Maybe I was just taking a
dodgy one. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (47:39):
Maybe, Yeah, you're taking some of brand.
Speaker 1 (47:42):
Yeah exactly, he knows what.
Speaker 3 (47:45):
Yeah, exactly, I forgot. I wish okay, all right, have
fun in Utah, Mel, thank you. Yeah, that was an
effort today, So that's not our fault, everybody. It was
Jeff Bey's so we will be better next week when
