Yesterday Mikey and I went to theGolf Ranch in Richardson Post of Videos
on a D ninety seven on thefreak on Instagram TikTok all that stuff incredible.
I've been ten times because it's literallyfive minutes from my house. Mike's
first time there, Mike your reviews, Okay, I was, because there's
(01:18):
I don't make unless I'm wrong.There's really not many driving ranges in Dallas,
Like there was one, remember thatone where the Rustic is now years
ago that was used to driving range. That thing's blown out. So if
you're not a member at a club, like I don't know where you go
to hit balls. It might bethe Top Golf kind of took over driving
ranges too, And I like TopGolf, but it's gimmicky and you don't
feel like you're actually working on golf. But this thing's a legit driving range.
(01:38):
But they have the track man there, so you're it's like a mix
between a regular driving range, realbucket of ball's field and the track man.
You're not hitting hitting it into ablanket on a screen. You're hitting
it into a huge, huge field, open field. It's a driving range
and it tracks your ball and youlook at the video screen and it shows
(01:59):
your ball landing on a famous course. Dude, you go and get a
bucket of beers and gamble with yourfriend. We did the Approach Shot challenge
on like Pebble Beach and every shotis between fifty and one hundred and fifty
yards and it's just closest to thepin. And if Kevin wins, it
says kt Fun tweets one up andyou play match play and it's act.
(02:19):
I mean you can feel it inyour hands, you know, if you
hook one a little bit, you'relike, oh, that's left, and
it shows it exactly. I mean, it's so accurate. I was blown
away at how fun it was.Can you do a reth so you can
watch your ball on what it's doingin real life, and then you go
to the screen and it'll show youa replay of what is No, it's
showing it live. Can you hitit to similarly see what I did there?
Again? Well, you can justsee where the ball went. It
(02:39):
shows the arc of the ball andthe trajectory and your ball speed and clubheads.
It shows all that stuff. I'venever seen anything like it. It's
so cool. Look at me.There's ten different games roughly that you could
play. Longest drive Mike bashed onethree hundred and thirty yards bashed. I
went behind. Well we kind ofthrow back out a little bit too.
We're trying to. But there's abunch of different games and you can play
(03:00):
courses. They have different courses,like they have the PGA Frisco course on
their fields East Pebble Beach it's nextto Pebble Beach on the thing, and
then Pinehurst and all these like legendarycourses as well, and you can play
those. We didn't really get through. We played a few holes and then
we started playing some of the otherminigames just because we were there. And
but I walk up there. They'vegot a huge putting green as well,
(03:22):
you know, and use it,and they they have these bays. I
walked up there and the cashier's gota free cat on, so it's up,
dude, how you doing. Andyou basically just get your bucket of
balls and you go to these baysand the kiosk looks like a Sonic drive
through screen. It's about that sizeand you can just have fun with it.
If you want to download the appand personalize your stats, if you
(03:44):
want to come multiple times, youcan, Like I've got the app because
I go there quite often and Ijust load up my information and I can
like try to beat my scores andyou get on like a global leader board.
But I don't know, man,it's it's next level. If you're
a serious golfer, great, ifyou're have never played golf in your life,
it's great. It is literally foreveryone. You could sit there and
(04:04):
watch this. Hell, I hitsix out of nine fairways I did.
I hate it four, but it'sjust it's out same. I'm you know,
Mike, Mike's seen a lot.This is a man who has learned
a lot in his life, learned. He's well traveled. I'm well learned.
Hey, okay, he's livid.I know what dare stands for.
(04:27):
Yeah, he's done things, education, done things. And I was like,
cool, if nothing else, we'llgo hit some balls. Yeah,
and yes, it is absolutely justa driving range. But I had no
idea that the track man even wasthat. I mean, I've done track
mans, but I didn't know thatthat accurate. It was like ten of
ten fun. I kept looking backon it. I can't believe how fun
this. We stayed longer than Ithink we probably planned on staying too,
(04:48):
like cause just having a blast,and I've gone with like Rocks has gone
with me and she's like, youknow, sits there on her phone and
you know, oh yeah, good, you had a good shot. You
hit a golf shot. That's agood golf shot. Uh, nice golf.
But but then but playing with Mikein the competition and that element was
(05:09):
a little different. That's the firsttime I'd gone, and what a playing
partner match play. It was great. So the Golf Ranch in Richardson.
Now, I do not want tospeak out of turn here because I don't
know what's official and what's not.But I think there's the potential and I'll
find out more that if you sayit, go and say that you listened
(05:30):
to ninety seven on the Freak,they'll give you a free bucket of balls
to start out. Really, yes, you say I listened to ninety seven
one the Freak. I need toget confirmation on if that is official and
if that's for sure going down.I mean, it doesn't hurt to try.
But I'm sitting here. I knewplay try every restaurant you go to,
every business, Yeah, I geta free app if I mentioned the
Freak, Yeah, we're appad thatworks. One in ten It was like,
(05:56):
I don't know, you know whatit sounds here is just count onion
rings. So yeah, but iteverywhere. And I'm not just saying this
because I've I've been like Kavanaugh hasbeen there many times in the past.
It used to be my brother wentto U T. D. We used
to go hit balls at there.It was just a driving range. Go
grab it. They've updated this withthis technology. They've elevated the experience they
(06:17):
have. It's unbelievable. And it'snot snoody. It's not like overly overly
at all. It's a driving range. It's come hang out and have a
good time, beers. I knowthey have wine, selter all that stuff.
They had nine whole par three course. I mean, dude, I'm
I had so much fun. Yes, I've gone and played by myself by
(06:39):
playing with you and just the Iwill go with the element next week.
Yeah, go every week. Youcould go every day? Could you go
every day every No, because you'reback absorted. That's all that masturbating you've
been doing. Kind to set thatrecord. He's Danny, here's the audio

twenty third, Sign of Civil Wardrops tomorrow. Was considering seeing that tonight,
but I think of a meeting.But we'll see. Let's do the
audio bubble. Guess I got alot here. I want to start with
(07:50):
a couple of things that involved I'mgonna wait. I'm gonna save the golf
stuff in case people don't hear golf. Okay, fine, I'm gonna save
it. This go back to atime when there is not a lot of
people living up north here in themetroplex. In fact, I found this.
It's a news report from nineteen eightyfive. Danny, your high school
(08:13):
team, had you guys played bothways? Yeah? I mean I remember
playing on a varsity team. Theyhad to call the freshman up because five
seniors got caught drinking and couldn't play. I played varsity my freshman year because
we needed expanded rosters in the playoffsin case anybody got hurt. I remember
we had sixteen people on the footballteam. I think we had more than
that. I think we had acloser to thirty. Would you guys like
(08:37):
to take a guess at what thepopulation of Prosper is right now? Yeah?
I don't know. Two hundred thousand, thirty eight thousand of around oh
right now? Yeah, okay,I know nothing. Two thirty eight thousand,
nineteen eighty five. Here's the storyof the Prosper football team who had
some guys who weren't making the grade. The scoreboard is no more plays to
(09:01):
be recorded for the last four gamesof Prosper's football season because five of seventeen
players didn't pass all their courses.The football players who passed are now practicing
for the basketball team, getting apractice jump of at least three weeks on
most of their competition. Even thosewho failed can practice during school hours,
and a school the size of Prospereighty six strong. The faces that make
(09:22):
up the football team shape the basketballteam, the baseball team, and the
track team. So for some I'mreally disappointed. I wanted to play bad.
It's a shame we can't finish theseason. But for others, oh
way, do you think that goutpassed or not? It's a shame we
can't finish the season. It isn'tback. Look, I get it,
you gotta make your grade. Butif your school has sixteen people or or
(09:45):
eighty six people, eighty six people, just let the guys who failed play
to keep it going. They weresmaller than NOx City at the same time,
they was yes, wow. Butfor others it didn't bother me as
much because I didn't want to gethurt. So like played basketball a lifebug.
Prosper has nine players enough where abasketball team if none fall victim to
no pass, no play. Ifeel like some of them has learned their
(10:07):
lesson, maybe the first time around, and then it's a hard lesson to
learn. But I don't I don'tanticipate any failures this time. But they
realize that even without no pass,no play, they are fighting a numbers
games if you have a small school, because then the little numbers can get
you down. And like if enoughpeople will come out, Well, then
you can't play. The Eagles arehoping to beat the numbers game next year
(10:28):
and fill up these stands once more. It is the smallest stadium you've ever
seen. She's in the stands doingthat report. Believable eighty six total.
My nuts off. They're now thirtyeight thousand. Yeah, they have almost
notion oh out of that school atschool that's at thirty eight hundred, about
almost four thousand students at Prosper HighSchool. Incredible and ninety five and forty
(10:52):
years Is that wild boy? Andthat must have been you would know?
Is that what a culture shock forthe long term residence there to see far
in Dallas and just this kind ofsmall little town. It's like the Dallas
spread spreads like a like an amba. It just swallows up, you know,
all of the land in between thesetiny towns and turns them into vibrant,
(11:15):
huge suburbs. It's amazing. It'sall connected. Now this is a
listener sent this to me. Youknow the bit where Skin gets up and
walks and every time he takes astep he farts. That's not a bit,
that's real. It is real.That's live audio. A listener sent
this to me. He said,I did the skin walk. We were
leaving a party. To me andmy wife were leaving a party, and
(11:35):
my neighbors actually caught this on thering doorbell camera. So he's walking down
the sidewalk leaving the house and herecomes the skin walk. Yeah five,
(11:56):
And I thought he was a littlesheltered, even funnier as him at that
party, trying to not fart forhour and a half the second the door
shut. Love y'all. All right, thank y'all. I love you.
More listeners and audio and you canalways send me stuff if you have it
at Kevin Turner at iHeartMedia dot com. This listener is dining at a breakfast
(12:16):
place and then it has a curiousrequest towards the end, I'm doing well,
I think he wants. And thenI'll have music and everything vagel with
Prince please. And then I justwalked through your plural area. Do you
have the Dombat singing box of chocolates? It's like a box of chocolates,
the things when you open it withan inventory that's a hero. I'd like
(12:46):
to order the Downbeat Singing Box ofChocolates. Imagine that poor server huh,
she said, so I'll check theinventory a little lie, little lie beautiful.
But she definitely asked the manager though, right some kind of singing the
chocolate box. I am asking tothe table twelve down beat, she says,
singing chocolate into the confusions as itas it gets, you know,
(13:07):
passed on the game of telephone getseven more confusing. Some down beat chocolates
that talk what And they just broughther out of chocolate cookie found it and
then the whole gather the staff andthey sing while she needs the cookie.
It sounds like she's like a brunchtoo. She got the everything bagel with
cream cheese and the downbeat singing boxof chocolates. It's all your floral section.
(13:31):
That's not just ground beef. Sucha good play. I laugh every
day. Yeah, the idiot,Danny, that was Halloween. I know
there's no candy, no candy,just ground beef. Why I got a
little bit out of order here.This is actually a lady whose older lady,
Her and her husband they take afart walk like around the neighborhood for
(13:52):
health. Going for a fart walkafter dinner is something that's going to help
you age wonderfully. And if youfollow me, you know it. My
husband a nine glot for fart walksmost nights after dinner. So about sixteen
minutes after we've eaten, we puton our running shoes and off we go.
Now why do we do this,Well, we eat a lot of
fiber, so we have gas everybodytimes. And uh, you fart when
(14:15):
you walk. So that's why Inamed it that this lady goes on a
fart walk. So if you guyswant to live forever, go on a
fart walks. That just as homeboywas farting it up every night after dinner
and she's like, you know what, Jesus, not in the house.
He's getting fat. Yeah, Ineed to somehow get this guy to go
four walks. Anyway, she alsowants to fumigate her home and keep the
farts out of that not in thehouse, Ted, put your run and
(14:37):
shoes on. We're going for aput your zero rails like three times this
year. Now stop farting into thecurtains. What guys, warning, we've
entered the master's portion of the audio. Yeah, now you remember actually why
I was talking about slow play.This is the audio from Brooks Koepka explaining
(14:58):
his tactics to the media a fewyears ago. Usually, if you're put
on the clock, it's because you'reslow, and guys keep being put on
the clock, keep doing it,keep doing it, and they're breaking the
rules, but no one ever hasthe balls to actually analyze them. I
kind of it's probably bad to say, but I've kind of got a different
approach on it. I try toactually slow us down, which is part
of the problem. Some of theseguys are so slow. I'll take my
(15:20):
sweet time getting to the ball,don't have to go to the bathroom,
go to the restroom and just kindof chilling there for five minutes. So
we get on the clock and thennow we're playing at my pace. You
know, it's probably not the rightthing, but it is what I do.
It's it's essentially cheating, but it'sstrategy. It's not cheating. That's
too okay. It's it's towing theline though, it's towing the line of
(15:45):
pine tar on the baseball. Yeah, I'll give you that. Yeah,
So you go hide in the bathroomjust so you get bogged down, and
then you're playing. Partner has tospe Yes, it's a reverse psychology too.
Yeah, it's not cheating until somebodyof authority tells you it's cheating.
Yeah, where they make a rulesaying no potty breaks. Brooksy think he
gave a crap. It's like,I'll just tell everyone, here's what I'm
(16:07):
doing. He's had a lot,a lot of fun with Yarrell hatt And
you remember him the other day.Well, i'll replay this. He hits
a bad shot into the woods.I can reach the streets on it.
More bounce that was. It's fine, He too, will be in the
(16:27):
Masters today. There's your tearal hatand that's just last weekend. That's not
like classic audio. Yeah, thatwas like last week. If you see
Arrel Hatton, keep an eye onhim because he is just always about two
degrees under boil. I'm pulling forhim. He's great. He's gonna be
great too. Him on the nearthe top of leaderboards on It would be
fun because then then I have toshow every shot and watch him just losing
(16:48):
a long and go ahead and bringthe faders down on the Tyrell Hatton microphone
feed. Please. Yeah, we'regonna just go to us in production,
Super Christian and Scottie. They cango full volume between him and his caddy.
Here the whole discussion, all ofit. Let's just turn up the
birds. Here's happy on sixteen's andc he is the golf volcanover sure if
(17:15):
there's something about the gentle delivery ofthe the euro accent though that kind of
makes it a little more. Idon't know, it's not as bad.
And I will remember wank bounce,a wank bounce for every if and wank
blounce. Tiger Woods is also playingin this year's Masters. Guys looking good
(17:36):
from what we hear right way,fourth cuts, looking good and he looks
fit, like saying, Zeke looksgood and uh yeh running around he was
off air it Yeah, so Zekerun around cons he looks good, he
looks ready. Of course Tiger looksgood on when well, it's better than
them, saying he had to usea walker to go to the driving room,
(17:56):
which yeah, might be true himout there. Yeah, but are
you officially at Tiger make er miss? I think he's gonna miss the cut.
Twenty three straight cuts made of theMasters. He knows his way around.
He's not missing the cut. Thata boy away. Tiger's in this
thing. Tiger making the cut.Tiger ain't gonna win, but they're gonna
(18:17):
be talking about him on Sunday.It's twey through straight ers at twenty three
total. I think because he's playedin twenty six Masters, I think did
he miss someone? I think Ithink the number is not the twenty four
is the record's total cuts made?Oh? Really, it's not in a
row? I think, Uh,that's what I know. I'm pretty sure
it's in a row. Okay,Well, either way, he's playing and
(18:37):
it reminded me of this great momentfrom the SP's in the nineties. Tiger
was that about? That? Isthat for Courus? Is that for Golfer
of the Year? This? Uh? This asps and you know who?
I feel sorry for? Our fFox is the other two guys nominated for
Golfer of the Year. These guysgetting ready and I was like, hey,
honey, have you seen my textedo? No? No, not the
(18:57):
good one. Don't want where whenI'm gonna get my ass kicked? Have
you seen that one? Erniel?Feel right? Damn it? I gotta
go tonight. The other two guysnominated for a Golfer of the Year.
In like the heyday of Tiger,he has gone for twenty four straight?
Is it straight? Okay, here'sthe record of twenty three consecutive with Gary
(19:19):
Player and Fred n I don't seeit happening. Come on, Kevin,
you gotta believe in the big catKevino. Can he keep it over?
Four over? That's a that's apredicted cut line? Four over right now?
Yes, he can move, hecan. This is a guy who
I don't even follow anymore, butI did back in the day, and
he used to make a living by, you know, doing podcasts and stuff,
(19:44):
but also doing like bits, takingsports things and doing voiceovers of him
and he had some funny golf ones. I don't know what this guy's up
to. Guy, not the Britishguys, the other guy. It's the
American guy. Alright. Here's JohnDaly golfing over to Daily on thirteen,
and it has been a disaster forhim today. He just does not We
are getting news that Daily went ona serious vender last night. Excused my
(20:04):
language, but he showed up atthe golf tournament today with white powder all
over his nostrils. We're looking intowhat that substance was. And it has
just been a mess for John todayas he just says hip. He just
says it, and again, excusemy language, but the club goes into
the water. That's gonna make onehappy fan who goes to pick it up.
(20:26):
And then you better be careful touchingthat anyways, he's happy about it.
Less than life here. Kids don'tdo blows over to Justin Thomas on
twelve. Why wasn't a life here? Kids? And I don't do blow
Do you remember the time Phil atthe US Open lost his cool and got
ten on a hole? Well wegot that, Yeah, we cut over
thirteen, Peter. Phil's got tobe real careful this one. This is
a quick pot. It's going tomove about a foot left to right.
(20:48):
And again this for Bogie. Notthe best day for Phil is he hammers
that one, and that is goingto look at this, it's gonna go
all the way down a false frontis. Phil kind of playfully chases it,
but he says, freck it.Oh my goodness, he said,
it's my birthday. Usga go off. I don't give it about anybody.
Guy loves to gamble. Here's alittle six footer for Phil and they're gonna
(21:11):
have attack on a two stroke penalty. Oh boy, it's been a trade
wreck of a hole. That's aten for Michaelson as he lasted off with
the grizzly bear he's paired up with. But we are going to now cut
back to DJs as he hit itthere on purpose near the bathroom stall.
Who's that guy that does all thevoiceover sports. It was Bob Minry.
Yeah, Minry, that's right.But I think, boy, I don't
(21:33):
know. I don't ever see anythingabout it, not recently. I did
like one he did with Joe Flaccoone time in a football game. Shotgun
takes a snap, Joe Flacco looking, rolls to the right side and there
is running room twenty fifteen. Ohmy god, his head fell off.
Wait, no, it didn't.That was a football But anyways, we
got a brawl going on the fieldback his head fell off. What in
(21:56):
the world, Although it's crazy,is that I could see that happening in
a football game. At some pointsthe head fallen off. Yeah, do
you understand, didn't you? No? No, no, your head is
not going to come detached from yourbody in a football game. It takes
a trained samurai sometimes four to sevencuts to sever your head. A guy
(22:18):
coming at second twenty five miles perhour, like full speed twenty twenty five
miles per hour right at your head. You're telling me you can take that
impact. Yeah, Well it's likefor a long time on a lot of
levels, and we've never seen evena partial detachment of a human head.
No, it's hard to remove ahead. Even the gear trust me designed,
(22:40):
yeah, to remove heads would oftentake two or three chops. That's
why they had to retire it.Yeah, Kevin, human heads attached.
My last golf clip of the dayas the Masters kicks off in three minutes
and thirty seconds. Three minutes Jeffskin Wade with supermodel Paige Spirits a man,
we have an action packed five o'clockhour with a special guest in studio.
(23:03):
It's Spades. I'm already starting bolt. Sorry what page, I'm melting
down? Page Sparrinak who is herefor the Byron Nelson man? We have
an he has never heard a manmelt down like that in front of a
woman, a beautiful woman, andhe's trying to like he's probably sitting up
in his chair, you know,Dave Lane at the Old Barley House.
(23:26):
Then good lord, Spage, I'mparty, I'm sorry, com PARI come

It's that's lifelong friends right there.That was because of our golfing yesterday.
I got to listen to a goodamount of Ben and Skin no nap,
(24:11):
and that's a funny show. They'rehilarious, very funny. Ben said the
croissant is the Cadillac of breakfast breads. That's a that's a week after saying
that meat love is the sausage ofbeef, and meat love is the sausage
of beef. Yes, no,he's spot on. The croissant is the
Cadillac of breakfast breads. Yeah,I guess what's the pretzel bun? I
(24:36):
don't know. We can get lostin that well benet Skin show, Yeah,
nothing funny. What'll happened. They'llbe giving tons of Masters covers.
I don't think they said the Mword at once in their show yesterday.
They won't. You won't hear onetime, which is ridiculous because skins,
he loves golf, he used to. He doesn't care. He doesn't care.
He cares about anything. No,he doesn't. He doesn't in his
(24:59):
