Speaker 1 (00:03):
All right, here we go into our number three of
the program on the ticket. We've got some TVs that
work in here, and we've got Luca entering the building
in Dallas and people following him around, and Anthony Davis
coming into the building and no one seems to care
that he's there.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
The hell is that shirt my good one?

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Yes, I've never understood with how much money these guys
make and they wear the most ridiculous outfits there are,
but yet people call that fashion.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Well, the one, the one outfit that I think is
the most ridiculous of all is the suit that comes
with shorts lebron exa with like a coat and a tie,
and he's wearing shorts and it's all the same material,
it's all the same thing. He did that when he
was in I think when he was in Cleveland, but
he may have done it when he was in the Lakers.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
To I was like, either wear a suit or don't.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
But if you're gonna wear shorts, I don't care. You're
coming through the you know, the back door of the
the arena in the secure area, so I don't care
what you wear. But that that's like a I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
I don't jump suit or something like that. I don't
know what it was. But what was it? Shane?

Speaker 4 (01:11):
Do you remember are you talking about when Lebron had
like the long the actual long season extra short shorts.
Well he had he had like a it was like
a suit. Yeah, the pants were shorts. That was the
Angus Young look right.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
I don't know. I have no idea above the knee.
I know you're talking about too.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, it was stupid. It was just either wear a
suit or don't. But don't mean. Here's the thing I
don't get. This is a totally Texas thing. And I
I've lived here longer than I lived anywhere else, so
I consider Texas home. But I don't get it. When
you wear jeans and a sports coat or jeans and
a tie, well, I think that is the dumbest thing
I've heard. Well, I mean jeans, jean jeans on a

(01:47):
sports coat. I can deal with, Yeah, because that's kind
of like the if it's at least like a dress. Yeah, yeah,
it's like it's like a western shirt.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
I can cut.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
But if you're gonna wear jeans, you don't need a tie. Yeah,
one of those cloth ties to you know, like the
like the knit ties. It looks like somebody knitted one.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
I would no, I only I only have silk ties.
But uh yeah. Or you could just roll Tim Duncan style,
just T shirt and cheap and jeans.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
There you go, He's on island time all the time.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
There's nothing about there's nothing wrong with that, especially if
you're if that's your native look, so go for it.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
I've never understood like because I think what James Harden
or Russell Westbrook has literally, oh my god, what were
I think they were Muppets? Do you remember the the
Alien Muppets that were like they were all right wrong? No,
I don't basically watch that show. You never watched the
Muppets of course, not the original Jim Oh.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
I know who they are.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
And I was a kid when I quit being a
kid when I was about nine years old, thank god,
And so yes, I do remember Assasame Street and all
that kind of stuff, but I haven't watched it in
fifty years, so I have really no idea what what
there is? All right, the Man resist tomorrow and we'll
talk about that more tomorrow as well. But there's also
something else that's happening in the World of Golf. Let's

(03:07):
not live related or controversial. But there's a new documentary
and of course we don't have enough documentaries already on
Tiger Woods, but we're going to have another one. Hey,
I might actually watch, and this one is going to
be on Peacock. Do you have peacock?

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Uh? Yes, and I have peacock. All right, so you
got Peacock.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
It's the Tiger Slam documentary, and it's the twenty fifth
anniversary of Tiger winning or getting three of the four majors.
He actually won the Slam in twenty twenty, the consecutive Slam,
or the Tiger Slam. Nobody's ever won all four in
the same year, but Tiger won won the Masters in

(03:47):
twenty twenty one. But in twenty twenty he had what
was probably the greatest career year anybody's ever had when
he won the US Open, British Open and PGA in succession,
and then had to basically eight months until we played
the Masters, and then he won that to complete the Slam,

(04:08):
and he said, no one's ever had all four trophies
on their mental at the same time, and I do,
And so that was known as.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
The Tiger Slam.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
The two thousand season was undoubtedly the best stretch of
golf we've ever seen anybody ever play. And you can
make your arguments about whether Jack is better than Tiger
or Tiger's better than Jack, and typically I think that
Jack was probably the better champion, but I don't think
he had near the competition that Tigers had. Even in

(04:37):
the late nineties and early two thousands, when Tiger was
in his early days as a golfer, the fields were
much deeper. And every year that he stayed on tour
until he really hasn't played much the last three or
four years, but every year the fields get deeper and deeper.
And almost everybody on the tour today was influenced by
Tiger when he was. There were kids and young kids

(04:59):
when Tiger was doing what he was doing. But to
win at Pebble Beach by fifteen shots, to dominate the
Open Championship at Saint Andrews, and to beat Bob May
in a playoff in the twenty twenty or the two
thousand PGA Championship amazing golf. And then everybody says, well,
if you win the next one, you've got all four
in a row. Is it a Grand slam, is it not?

(05:21):
And you have to sit around and think about it
for eight months and then you still pull it off.
That was another remarkable part of it. I haven't seen
that really much of it, a few clips here and there,
But they're going to celebrate Tigers two thousand season in
what most people consider the most dominant year that anybody's
ever had.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
You think at one point there's ever going to be
a golf course, because is there a golf course like
the Arnold Palmer Golf Course or whatever? Invitational?

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Well, Arnold Palmer Invitations played at bay Hill. He didn't
design the golf course, it was designed well, but he
lived there most of his life and they play they
play it's called the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and it's played
at bay Hill. And when they play at Mierfield in Ohio,
Mierfield Village, the Memorial Tournament is hosted by Jack Nicholas,
and Jack's company actually designed that golf course. Tiger didn't

(06:15):
design Riviera. But the Tiger Woods Foundation is the is
the charity for the Genesis Invitational that's played every year
in February in Los Angeles. So in a way, Tiger
and Arnold and Jack all have their names on Byron
Nelson's the Byron Nelson and the Colonial. It's not the
Ben Hogan Invitational. But ben Hogan lived pretty close to

(06:38):
Colonial all his life and he was a part of
the Fort Worth golf scene. So the legacy players of
the tour either have names, have tournaments named after them,
or they're heavily involved in.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah, that's what I'm warnering.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
Like, obviously we get like coaches, it's called you know,
the coach hay Court or whatever something like that. Is
there ever gonna you think at one point there will
ever be just you know, hey on this like Augusta
for instance, the number.

Speaker 5 (07:10):
The famous chip in or whatever. There's probably there ever
be a situation where they named that whole. Hey, they're
not going to name the hole after Tiger, but I
can see that there's a plaque there where he made
the shot. Yeah, and there are several golf before Pecan
Valley tore down was topped.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
I think it was fourteen. There's a plaque in the
middle of the fourteenth fair. We may have been fifteen,
but I think it was fourteen where I think it
was Julius Burrows or all Palmer hit this terrific shot
that made the tournament whatever it was, and there was
that plaque was there forever. It's been obviously fifteen years
since I played Pecan Valley after it was shut down,
but there was a plaque there. Robert Gamez one the

(07:51):
one at Bay Hill in nineteen ninety and he hit
a shot from one hundred and ninety yards in the
middle of the fairway for Eagle to have a walk
off win, and there's a plaque commemorating that. So there
are places on PGA Tour golf courses and famous golf
courses around the world that have plaques commemorating great events.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah, I'm just wondering if they would ever dedicate a
particular like actually dedicate, hey, this hole is the Tiger
Woods hole, or it actually is going to just be
called the Tiger Woods. Like when Tiger eventually retires and
you know, when he's ninety years old, they're going.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
To try to get that in the eighteenth Major.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
Hey, you know what you never know on the Seniors
Tour at that point, Well.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
The Champions Tour Majors don't count towards the eighteen here.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Do'll count for you? That's all that matter.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
But here's one thing I will say about that when
I was when I was a kid, and Tom Watson, well,
when Jack Nicholas won the Masters in nineteen eighty six,
and you can go back and watch the film of
that if you can find CBS film of that. They
talk about that's Jack's twentieth major because they were counting

(09:01):
his US Amateurs to US Amateur wins as majors because
the original Grand Slam of golf was the and the
US Amateur and Opened and the British Amateur and Open.
When Bobby Jones won all four in the same year
back in the twenties early thirties. Bobby Jones retired from
golf in the early thirties, went into investment banking and

(09:23):
took his money and helped build augusta national golf club
with the inspiration from some of the golf courses in Scotland.
And so there's that history. And so the Grand Slam
then came light later after the Masters was created in
nineteen thirty four. And I think it was in the
nineteen fifties when somebody said the unavailable or unreachable quadrilateral

(09:48):
or something like that, and that didn't make a lot
of sense, So they just called it the Grand Slam,
and that's what we've been playing for probably seventy five years. Masters,
US Open, British PGA make up the Grand Slam. The
PGA since moved from August to May to make the
FedEx Cup a little bit more prominent on the PGA

(10:09):
tour in August.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
But that's how how people.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Are are, That's how their legacy has created.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Okay, all right.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
I didn't know if golf ever did anything like that
were out of respect for some of the greats.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Like I said, they you know, named Actually.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
I don't think they named golf golf courses or golf
holes after a certain player, but there's certainly going to
be opportunities for them to have some of their most
memorable shots.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Well, what is it at the old Course?

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Because I had asked you they they're not named after people,
but like they're named after certain things.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Well, the first hole is called burn because the burns
in front of the green, and the fourth hole is
called ginger beer because two hundred years ago somebody sold
ginger beer on that hole in a cart. Uh And
and the road Haull is named the road hole because
there's a road right next to it that's in play.
So yeah, they didn't have you know, any intellectuals coming

(11:07):
up with how they named the holes.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Uh and and an Augusta.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Every hole has got a name, usually after a flower,
you know, it's I think the eighteenth hole is called Azalia,
and there's the there's all kinds of different names for
the golf holes at Augusta.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
It reminds me of you ever seen the Pirates of
the Caribbean movies.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
I no, I haven't watched.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
So there's a part in that movie where it's like
they're trying to do something to resurrect Calypso and they
have what they're called the Nine Pieces of eight and
it's just a bunch of random junk and the guy's like,
oh yeah, that's not nine pieces of eight.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Well what would you have had us? Whatever? We just
had in our part in our pockets in that particular.
Pretty much, that's how some things happened.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
You know, somebody you know pulled a quarter out of
their hand and it had nineteen twenty nine on it.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
So that's what we're gonna call it. We're gonna call
it quarter hole. There you go.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
So anyway, there's a documentary coming out on Peacock on
the Tiger Slam, and you can also it doesn't give
me a date on when this is going to happen.
We'll see if we can dig deeper. But I saw
the promo for it on ESPN a little while ago
on the Golf Channel because the Golf Channel is part
of the Peacock Network. So we'll find out about that.

(12:21):
But USGA Films is going to do it and it's
a big documentary on him. All right, we'll get back
to basketball discussion coming up next on the Ticket
