Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
We have golf completing at the BMW Championship. It is
Michael's new favorite sport to watch. I have converted him
from whatever else he was watching on Thursday and Friday
afternoons to golf.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
I mean, there was nothing on.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Robert McIntyre has the lead sixty two sixty four in
the first two rounds in Baltimore. He's got the lead
by five over Scheffler, and by six over Oberg and
by seven over Matsiyama.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
A decu shot sixty four today as well. He learned
how to put.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
H Sometimes he can find you know, what is it?
The squirrel can find an acorn every now and then.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Squirrel. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
So Fleetwood's at six, Kim's at six, Mcneely's at six,
Harry Hall's at five, and Rory's at four.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
So Rory's ten shots out.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Of the lead. Robert McIntyre is projected to jump from
seventeen from twenty to.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Three if he were to win this tournament.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Wow, he has expected if he stays where he's at
to go from twenty one to fifteen. Fleetwood would jump
up eight to six. And as we look down the
list of those who may not make it to the
Tour Championship. The projected number at There's a lot of

(01:19):
them out there that are pretty good players. This would include.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
I know Ricky Fowler was on the cusp right there.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
He was playing pretty well and I think he had
a double bogie double bo on seventeen seventeen, and he
was projected Fowler.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Was rejected forty well. He was projected as low as
twenty two at one point. Right now he's projected thirty six,
so he's got some work to do. Jason Day would
be out, Denny McCarthy would be out. See what Kim
and Daniel Berger would be on the outs. Lots of
Chris got her Up is right there on the cut
line at twenty nine, and Ashke is at thirty two,

(01:58):
so he's got to make some putts coming down the stretch.
So some guys have got well, twenty guys are gonna
be trunk slamming after this weekend and they're there.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Twenty five. Season will come to an end.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
The captain, no captain. My captain is not not playing
well today.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Too over.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Through through seventeen, so he's got one more. But Keegan
Bradley is too over right now for.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
He's still in he's still well inside of the list.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah, he's still he's still gonna make the top thirty exactly.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah, whether or not he plays or not. I think
he's got to make a decision on that here pretty soon.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
So, uh, anyway, you have some golf trivia for me?
I do, yes, I do yes. Good golf elevator music
right here, So andy, albatrosses, that would be a two
on a part five basically a double birdie, double eagle.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Double eagle. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Do you happen to know how many albatrosses have been
recorded on a major turn mins throughout history?

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Two hundred?

Speaker 3 (03:06):
No, on major tournaments there have only been eighteen recording
on major's only eighteen, yes, on so overall, I'll go
two hundred on Okay, so overall since nineteen eighty there
have been one thousand albatrosses were on PGA tour, So.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Over fifty that's what forty five years.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
So there's really so there's twenty a year.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
It's it.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Let's see, it's twenty year, would be nine hundred.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yeah, there's about one albatross per I think it said
one thousand rounds something like that. But I was just
doing a little bit more digging and so play along here.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Do you know who has the most albatrosses in the
last forty five years?

Speaker 3 (03:54):
In the last forty five years, John Daly, No, it
is not John Day.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
It is a live defector. That would be Bubba. It
would be one Bubba Watson.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
He has four and all four of those have come
on par five holes.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah yeah, double eagles or albatrosses have to come on
part I guess you could have an ace on a
par four, but that happens rarely as well.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yeah, So there you go, There you go. There's a
little golf trivia for you.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
All right.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Justin Rose won last week at the first leg of
the FedEx Cup, and Justin Is was on TV Today
with Smiley Kaufman when his round was over and was
talking about the routine he goes through and the fitness
he goes through, and when he's in the United States,
he you know, he doesn't necessarily drive the trailer there,

(04:46):
but he has his own personal fitness trailer that he
takes around the tour from stop to stop. Inside this trailer,
he not only has a spin bike, but they have
a place in near the spin bike where you can
put on a mass that gives you direct oxygen into
your lungs while you're working on the spin bike to

(05:07):
increase your lung capacity.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
He also has a room that has both a hot
and cold plunge, so you can go hot tub to
cold tub one right after the other, vice versa if
you want. He also has one of those red light
therapy machines.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
I don't know what that is.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
It's kind of like a tanning bed, except it doesn't
send out ultravitalized.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
It sends out the I think it's the UV.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
No, not UV, it's the it's the infrared race, which
you're supposed to stimulate all kinds of things in your body. Well,
ask Dog Garrett next week again about that. He also
has an infrared sauna, so he's got the sauna in there.
I think we need to hang out. I think I
need to hang out on tour with Justin Roseen get
in the same shape.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
That he's in. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Maybe maybe Matthew Stafford in the La Rams should should
give Justin rosecol.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
I'm kind I'm starting to get concerned about the health
of the Rams offense. Once again, they're not very healthy
in training camp and it took them a long time
to get there, but I had them as a potential
super Bowl team, and I'm not so sure I can
pick them with their situation right now. But spin bike
with oxygen, a hot and cold plunge, red light therapy,
infrared sona all in this trailer that follows him around

(06:20):
the PGA Tour wherever he goes, so that after every
round he can go do all the therapy he needs
to get ready for the next one.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Do you know if Tiger has hit any albatrosses to
my knowledge?

Speaker 2 (06:31):
No, Well, you would be wrong.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
He has hit in competition, in competition, Where would that
be at the two thousand and five British Open, sir
as adding to.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Golf two thousand and five, that would be at Saint
Andrews It says two thousand, Yeah, it was. He had
an albatross to the two I have. I'm gonna have
to go look at his scorecards. I'm not buying that.
I think that's that. I don't think that information is accurate.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
I mean, this is from GOLFPGA Championship dot com.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
They can be wrong. It's like everybody else can.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
From time to I remember him winning the five Open,
but I don't remember him getting an albatross during that competition.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Is in the second round it says this shop helped
Woods win on five or fourteen.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
It just says second round. It was a parf. It
was the sixth hole.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
It's the fifth hole. It says the sixth hole. So
he made a hole in one on the sixth hole.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
I get no, it was a par five.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Well, at Saint Andrew's the six soles a part four.
So they got back.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
In two thousand and five. It was a different was.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
The whole hasn't changed for four hundred years at number
five and number fourteen or the par five said at
Saint Andrews, I've played them both well and poorly.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
So there you go. Okay, all right, well

Speaker 1 (07:42):
I'm sorry, I'm gonna I'm gonna have to look this
up a little bit more detail during the break, and
we'll talk about pat Riley next on the ticket.
