(01:53):
the powers that be that don't likefree Fall don't start listening until right at

That's funny that you think that thepowers that be are actually listening.
Who are the you know? Ohyeah, yeah, that's not I don't
know. Good morning, hot boys. How are we doing? Everyone feel

(02:15):
good? I was gonna play somestuff we're on. Let's just do the
show. I guess I got anobscene amount of sleep last night. I
was in like zero sleep. That'sgreat. Eight, You got the sleep
I needed, so we're good.I took it from you. Eight.
Funny did you nap? Uh?Not really? I tried. I had

(02:35):
Kevy and I had a little adventryyesterday which we can chat about at some
point. And speaking of taking itfrom me, good God took his manhood,
my dignity, my future in golf. But I annihilated. I'd lay
down with a nap. And there'sthat debate. Does does the rest count

(02:57):
as a half nap? What doyou think in your head? You know,
yes, I think it does too. I do think it does.
Not like you're getting an RM necessarilyevery time you nap. I'm saying,
lay down, relax, even ifyou're looking at your phone a little bit,
then you get up an hour later. I feel like that's something I
don't know. I gotta say mymind's kind of blown on that question.

(03:19):
Rest counts a half nap, Yeah, it's rest zero point five of a
nap. If it's even half,man, it counts as some point three.
Yeah, you're not getting that restorativesleep that you need. But yeah,
it's better than you know, runningaround doing stuff. Yeah, just

(03:40):
sitting there or lying there, itis better. I got an almost two
hour nap yesterday and still by nineo'clock I was tired. Man. I
don't know what it was about yesterday, but I was ready to go to
bed early last night too. Butthey find some there's some rebellious thing within

(04:01):
me that sees the clock and ifit's before nine thirty, my mind won't
allow me. It tells me,no, you are not going to sleep
before nine o'clock. No, thatis not human. Did I fight it?
Did you dream of me? Iwas so tired, Mikey that I

(04:27):
did not dream of you. Isaid on the text thing that I asked.
I asked you to dream of me, oh, during my nap,
either of anytime I dream about you, I dream about both of you,
guys equally ruin. He was justwatching in the corner with his phone out.
There was a weird note about wankingin there too. What are you
talking about? Yeah, you didwrite that, and don't act like you

(04:47):
didn't have that on the air.The show's officially started one seconds ago.
That was a typo. I setit aside for future HR purposes. Damn
auto correct. We already need toget it at any he's telling us to
tell ourselves. Yeah, yat arecorrected because he was texting me about Fred
Funk Aaron Masters week. By theway, you're learning to wank listening to

(05:09):
k E G L F M ninetyseven to one the Freak. Here's your
legal ID Dallas the top of thehour. Where's our tower? All right?
Is it? I think so?I think all the towers are down
there, same spot, right?Or is it kind of grand plus?
There's something there's something uh near ValleyRanch, But I don't know if they're

(05:30):
used for radio. I don't know. You start talking about things like that.
I was old the tower the ticketwas up way north right like Sherman
or something sanger sanger, yes,dang, yeah, I don't know about
that. Man. I get southof twenty and I can't hear you guys.
Well, I would be three minutesaway from the American Airline Center and

(05:53):
I would be hearing a Mexican station. That's racist, Hispanic station. I
don't know. Oh, you're fine. It says on the ratings it says
Mexican. I'm just teasing, Kevin. It's what it says, right,
doesn't say Spanish speaking, it saysMexicans. Christina gets mad at me when

(06:13):
I even say the word Mexican becauseshe feels like it's it's not it's not.
I'm like, it's saying American.I know, And I said I
was. I did it in thesentence. I literally looked at her at
dinner and I said, you knowwhat, I love Mexicans. They're fun,
They're amazing. All my neighbors,friends, all these business owners,

(06:33):
they're all so friendly and nice.And this weird country has problems with everybody.
Yeah, like, you're so luckyto live amongst amazing Mexicans. We
forget that. But do you knowwhy it is? It's because it has
those two real hard consonants with theM and then the X right in the
middle of it. It just soundslike you're saying something I don't know,

(06:58):
forceful. Yeah, like there's illintent behind what you're saying. And if
you don't follow that word with food, it just it feels odd. Right.
Yes, it's weird to look atyour girlfriend and go, I love
Mexicans. Yeah, it's odd thingto say out of nowhere. I'll say
it, I love Mexicans. JJis out mysteriously, Maddie is in.

(07:26):
Maddie. Are you a Mexican aMexican? Are you a Mexican? I
am a Mexican. You are?Congratulations on that. Thanks, we like
you. I think my mom andmy grandma were Mexican from Mexico. No,
my mom's from Chicago, Chicago.My grandma's from would that be you

(07:50):
speak so do I? Hyeah?Yeah? Give him, give him a
shot, have a nice conversation ifwe want to. We don't have to
show started. Oh okay, wellyou should have got to this at five
point fifty six. Wow, we'replaying free Fall ont of Mike. So
many parlor tricks fall. Freefall wasfun. That was great, Kevin,

(08:11):
that's over damn. So the latestis, uh, I just saw it
on the thing behind your master's starthas been delayed how much? They say
at earliest will be nine am Easterneight am here, but it was originally
that's only an hour delay. That'sconfirmed. Just talked to me five hours
earlier. Yeah, exactly. Well, we still might get there. And

(08:33):
I think they delayed opening the gatesat Augusta National two. But originally seven
am it was supposed to start here. That's one hour from now. Now
it's going to be at least twohours. So I am depressed. So
when I get to watch any golftoday on the shift, No, you
don't know that. I just saidit might start open the gates until eight.
It could start at eight, itcould start at eight. It probably

(08:54):
won't start till what nine thirty orten? Probably probably. Well it's fine
then, you know what, youhave undivided attention on golf when you get
home. Yeah, condensed, greatgolf. Yeah, all week, today's
today going today the day, somuch golf. In fact, I'm gonna

(09:16):
set up a tiny screen. They'llhave more golf, like a feature group,
and then I'm gonna have another tinyscreen set up to watch Leclerk blow
save. It's gonna be good afternoonof sports. Not sports, I would
say recreation. That's what I wouldcall it. Just the best. Don't
leave your couch four days in sports, Yes, I guess if you're psycho

(09:39):
for college basketball or betting on that, that's the only other really contender.
Yeah, but nothing lasts as longas this does when it comes to like
the one event. I mean,heck, even your long five hundred mile
NASCAR races are only a few hoursand one day. This is four full
ass days. Yeah, from sunup to sundown. Man, there's people

(10:01):
who just don't care. And Iget it. You know that, I
got go watch a ton of it. Oh bunch. Now, people who
don't care, they just they don'tlike I mean, they can't make people
care about something like they have tolike No, No, it's like they
have to like dive into some formof watching content on the Netflix show or
something. I mean, I gota buddy yesterday. I love this guy.

(10:22):
He is a great friend of mine. But he's sent in a group
chat I'm in with my brother andsome of his rents. He sent me
a video he goes, this iswhy I hate golf. And he sends
the video of Zack Johnson, welljust his face just freaking out, it
freaking out of fans making noise atthe players last month, and I was
like, well, you have tounderstand, everyone who likes golf hates Zack

(10:43):
Johnson. So you you were inthe group of people that was in Phoenix,
Yeah, whatever any was, You'reletting Zack Johnson set that example.
But I think even people who don'twatch golf regularly don't care it's Sunday the
Masters is I would love to hearthat, because that that's just something you.
Yeah, even if you never watchany PGA any you're aware of the

(11:05):
majors, you like sports, you'llwatch Master Sunday or throw it on for
a couple hours. I think there'sa big group of people do that.
And yes, there are something thatjust don't turn it on all week and
do not care. And I getthat, but I used to be that
way. I used to be theperson that that, for no reason whatsoever,

(11:26):
just blanket hated golf, the unculturedmongrel, because it was cool to
hate golf. But if you likesports and you like drama, there's incredible
drama in these especially in these bigtournaments, these high leverage tournaments, and
just like anything, if you immerseyourself in it, just a little bit
like watching for a couple hours andyou start to absorb a little bit of

(11:48):
the drama and oh, oh,there's he's on this hole now, that
guy just screwed up this whole.Even if you don't like off or don't
play it, I would think thatyou can be captivated by the drama of
sport. Yeah. Now, ifyou don't want to be, look the
experience towards a lot of people.They wear it as a badge of honor
to be cooler than everything, andeverything is below them. And I thought
when we saw the eclipse, thatchanged. I mean maybe it did.

(12:11):
Look the story is yet to becompletely written about how the eclipse affected us
personally and spiritually. We'll see inthe days to come. But you know
we're early on in that endeavor.Keviny, you know Rock said to me
last night, she said, getoff of me. The eclipse. Now,
yeah, I think, no,Jesus, please keep you. I

(12:33):
think, did you shower? Ithink the eclipse changed me. I said
that time of the month, oh, Kevin, And she said no.
But I was hoping that she wouldsay yes so I would have a validation
for the theory. But I waslike okay, and she didn't have a

(12:54):
good answer for how. I don'tfeel changed. I feel like I saw
something awesome and I definitely like andnow I schedule a vacation around going to
Alaska in twenty thirty three, whichI won't do. All right, we
all thought it well thought it though, like, yeah, if you like,
you just like see what it's like. I've never been to Alaska.

(13:15):
But do you feel changed at all? Danny? I feel like I had
a really unique, once in alifetime experience. I don't think that this
moon going in front of the sunfor four minutes and blacking out my neighborhood
changed me. Your circadian rhythms arestill on. Yeah, yeah, Kevin,
I got my period today. Everything'sfine, everything's on, skeed not

(13:37):
a boy, Danny. Yeah,uh No. I don't think it changed
me, but it definitely added somethingto my life that wasn't there before.
And if that's changing someone, evenin a small way, yeah maybe it
did. It's adding to the complexpainting that is Danny Baylis. Okay,
what'd you call him? A minutegothe uncultured, uncultured mongrel a greet and

(14:01):
but you know, and I hear, I hear the noise, the subtle
jabs when it comes to us,especially yesterday, we spent a fair amount
of time discussing golf's biggest event.And if you find the sport, I
understand. But look, if youlike the guys, if you like Mikey
and you like Kevin, it's it'skind of like, look, you're having

(14:24):
a Maybe your spouse does something thatisn't your favorite, like I don't know,
maybe telling a story, and you'drather be anywhere but there. But
you still love your spouse, andas your duty to the love that you
share, you try to participate.Maybe you actually listen, we hear what

(14:46):
your spouse has to say. Ididn't know you're gonna say. Listen,
I figure you met in a coupleof nods and a uh huh. That
counts your present. Let me justsay that your body is present your present.
Ye oh up, that's all we'reasking. You might get something out
of it. We imagine the noddingand hus for the next four days.

(15:07):
Mm hmmm, huh yeah, ohoh really. Oh and then he had
his blinker on, but he didn'tturn Wow, honey, did you turn
off auto pay on Netflix? Yeah? I did. I'll take I did
take care of it, I said. Or the long What do you think
about long bathroom breaks? Well,you go in and sit in the bathroom

(15:30):
and then head down on YouTube TVon the Master's appy, dude in packed
house, spend some time in thebathroom. That's not productive. I think
about my brother every day, reallyjust hiding a lockers all under the age
of six, oh man, justyou know, running around and making noises

(15:52):
and clanging things off of things,damaging the walls. I would imagine,
Yeah, hysic, poor guy.There was a time when he loved the
Masters. I don't even know anymore. I mean, I know he's locked
in and he cares, but Ialways wonder, you know. I also
think about this too, Like thegolf thing like that was we talked to

(16:15):
a little golf yesterday and we camea little time and we fought back.
We're gonna lot text reaction were apart of our job is to I think,
please a lot of people. Right, Like, if you're broadcasting,
they call it broadcasting, so beas broad as possible. I guess I
don't really know that's but yeah,one of the biggest stories in America this
week is the Masters, like it'sundeniable, like the it just is.

(16:40):
And there are probably people who wererolling their eyes at that statement. But
I was thinking about this a lot, Like we had discussions before the show
in text messages, even in breaks, like I don't know if I personally
thought that the system was flawed orsomething, and I really thought that it

(17:03):
mattered, I might have been like, you know what, maybe we should
do the proper thing. But I'mkind of at the point of I don't
care, so I'm gonna do whatI want to do. And I knows
there's no deeper there's no deeper meetinganyone should read into that. But I
kind of just like, let's justdo it, and if someone has a
problem with it, good, that'sgood. If people have a problem with

(17:27):
us, great. I kind ofthink that's the way I need to.
I've been too down the f andmiddle my whole life, and that's why
i'd like to tell you I'm votingfor Donald Trump in the twenty twenty four
election. I endure, I loveit. Thirteen million viewers after the Ash

(17:48):
Effler on Sunday two years ago.Thirteen million. Yeah, I mean that's
huge. It's a lot. That'slike real that Young Shelton numbers quantifiable facts.
Mike, I understand your recent youryour recent shift in voting habits.
And after seeing the eclipse video,I get it. The Donald Trump eclipse

(18:11):
video. That was amazing. It'sincredible. Oh, it was so good.
Credit him a little. There's alot they're doing bits too. Yes,
they absolutely they know his silhouette coveringthe sun. It's so good.
I mean, it's all like they'reincapable of doing things that are kind of
tongue in cheek funny. Well,and they both tried it because Biden did

(18:32):
the thing where he took a pictureat the spot where are supposed to look
like the background where Trump looked upat the sun during the twenty seventeen eclipse,
and Biden did the same thing.And it said it said don't be
uh or I said use your nogginor something, you know, wear glasses.
It was like a simple thing thatone of his social media people put

(18:53):
out. It's like, okay,you got that. Well, here as
a ninety second pre produced video whereTrump silhouette of his head, is the
shape of the moon or the sizeit takes to block out the sun.
It's so funny. The most importanthuman event in history. We can make

(19:15):
a vergit radiant. I mean,look, I'm sorry man Biden's look up
the sun with the glasses thing cool. This video is pretty badass. You're
losing there. I don't know.I don't know. Some said some toes
I'll comment. They were like,well, they're talking about everything on the
station. Like so if sports andpolitics are a part of our culture,

(19:37):
I would rather lean into sports thanlean into politics. Amen. You hardly
ever hear us talking about politics unlessit's something just funny. Yeah. Some
guy reach out to me on Instagramand sent me a message saying that he's
done because all we do is ripthe right. Oh who care? And
I wrote back and I said,dude, I go, please provide.

(20:00):
I had some specifics as to youknow, something's be specific. What was
said that upset you? Wasn't beingdefensive. I was like, I really
want to know, because we kindof I don't know. It's not like
a mission of ours to not bepolitical, but it doesn't benefit us.
And honestly, I think the showin this station kind of provides an escape

(20:21):
from that because it's everywhere you look. That's the idea, and I just
try to It's like, look,if there's something more entertaining or lighter than
some heavy ass political thing that's outthere, I'll definitely divert to those stories
as opposed to the ones that arejust readily available and there's no middle ground
on them. And I was like, please, because I mean, personally,

(20:42):
I think if we ever do bringup politics, and we're pretty equal
as far as who we make funof, you know, And I said,
I'd like to be mindful of itmoving forward because if I did anything
to piss off the right. Hedidn't like your fake Ted Cruz maybe maybe
because it was so good it reallyit just hit too close to home.

(21:03):
It was such an authentic representation ofSweet Dead. Somebody wrote golf is just
boring to watch. I understand it'slikely fun to play, but I just
don't see the appeal of getting thatenergy that I love from a sport.
I have no problem with golf,and I don't hate it, just not
for me fair enough. I thinkthe point of all sports is watching the
best in the world to do whatthey do and I guess it helps if

(21:26):
you can apply it to yourself tryingto do that. Anyone who played baseball
grown up, or hoops or footbwhatever. That's why I think those are
as popular as they are. AndI guess if you didn't, But that's
true for the person who is azero golfer a dozen own clubs, never
plays golf. Danny, Yeah,you're a perfect example that watch master or
watch majors, watch the major weekends, enjoy them, maybe don't freak out

(21:49):
about them like we do, butcome to appreciate it for that exact reason,
to watch the best in the worlddo something at an incredibly high level.
Do you want to know what myproblem with golf was for the longest
time was the the social gap ofwhat golf to me at the time represented

(22:11):
and how golf was one of thelatest and took the longest to even begin
to consider any type of inclusivity.Yeah, that was my issue with it.
And I'm telling you you know,when I became a fan of the
sport or a fan of like,I started really getting into it, I'm
a Tiger dude, because okay,now, all right, there seems to

(22:33):
be they broke the seal on maybethe idea of some balance in the sport.
And that's when I started watching itbecause I was fascinated with Tiger.
I was all in and I stuckwith it. As far as Karen,
it's certainly elitist compared to other sports. It is, and there's an argument

(22:59):
that, you know, it's notgreat for the environmentally. I mean they're
taking massive swaths of land and usinga ton of water and you know that
sort of thing. Yeah, butyou can say that about so many things
other than golf. I mean,I know what you're saying there, but
like, boy, golf's not thetop thing that's polluting the environment. Well

(23:21):
what's sport? Yeah, is yeah, what sport is worse for the environment.
I mean, I don't know collegewith all the flights, you know,
but coach football team flies across thenation on zach okay, But every
golfer flies on separate private planes.You know, some of them team up
and share a plane. But golfshouldn't have to wear that. Well,

(23:44):
it's already has the elitist yeah scarletletter that it's wearing. That it's rich
white country club dudes, and yeah, if you are the son of wealthy
country club parents, your odds ofbeing a pro golfer are way higher.
It's hard to battle from poverty.That's a dynamic that has discussed a little

(24:06):
bit on that Netflix show as thecountry club Kids versus just the good old
boys, the country club kids justinThomas George Speth Little Boys Kopka is like,
I'm out of here. I mean, it's an obvious thing to say,
but it's also the like, it'snot a sport that the masses have
access to, where baseball is somethingyou can play in the street with a

(24:27):
stick and a rock, you know, if stickball or whatever football you need
one ball to be able to participatein it, whereas historically golf is something
that you've got to have access tobe able to play a real course.
Yeah, it's it used to be. I know, it's probably a lot
different now. And golf tries hardto be more inclusive and make it easier

(24:48):
with first Tea initiatives and inner cityoptions, and they or at least they
act like they do. You know, it might just be car footprint talk.
Yeah, but yeah, but Ithink about sports too. I mean,
that's why soccer is the most popularsport in the world because that it's
very base Soccer is because someone's gonnahear me say this and want to keep
I'm not gonna say soccer is free, and a soccer parent locally is probably

(25:11):
like die. It is so expensive. So yes, any of these,
but as far as just getting in, but you can enjoying the sport.
You need a ball and a buddy. Yeah, and you can be in
the favelas of Brazil or the mostpoverty stricken area of the world, sure
and use something that is the shapeof a ball and kids out there playing

(25:32):
with something wrapped up a duct tape, right exactly, And then that's what
it's the easiest. Then maybe basketballis next easiest. You got to find
a goal. You got you canmake one makeshift goal or make a goal.
But that's why those just inherently allowkind of everyone to have a chance.
And think about this too, evenlike baseball. I can't remember the

(25:53):
exact year that that the color barrierwas broken in baseball fifty six something like
that. When Jackie Robinson played hisfirst game, baseball realized that the how
dug in they were on racism wassuperseded by we are the idea that we

(26:15):
are denying ourselves of millions of possibilitiesto have the great you know, the
greatest athletes in the world playing inour sport. And that's what every sport
ultimately, I think once they wantto showcase their organization as the best.
And if you're excluding African Americans fromyour sport, you are you really doing

(26:36):
yourself as you're doing yourself a bigdisservice, and that that need to be
the best superseded their need to behateful. Its just it's wild to me
that it took golf until nineteen seventyfive. Yes, now granted that was
to play in the Masters, yes, and you are correct, but that

(27:00):
sort of a blend or a mixof both the things that we're talking about,
because golf is kind of the onlytrue meritocracy in sport where I can
hand you Danny Bayliss a set ofclubs right now, and you can qualify
for the US Amateur, the USOpen, and ultimately the Masters. You
don't have to know one person inthe world of golf. All you have
to do is pay your entry feeto a local qualifying event. Whoop,

(27:22):
everybody's a advance to the next thing, whip them and Danny Bayliss can make
it, and almost every other sportyou kind of there's a lot of relationships
and who you know and how toget in and then I'm being scouted by
this guy and now this guy gaveme a chance. Golf has that power,
but that's offset by the fact thatsociety doesn't allow Danny Baylis in this

(27:45):
scenario to have played golf because ofthe color of his skin, right,
you know, or doesn't allow youaccess to a course without paying X amount
of dollars. I mean, youcan't even get into the NFL unless you
at least went to some college,right, is that true? Still?
Jeft Jedi high school? Well,but you can free I mean there's a
free agency element, but you can'tjust I don't know how that works.

(28:08):
Actually, when out of high schoolyou said I'm not going to college,
I want to declare an NFL freeagent. I don't know about that.
I think that works? Or whatif it's just a European Yeah, because
I've been clamboring forever for the Easterneuro to get in on some defensive line
work. It give be these bigRussian bear Marcus Hunt, Marcus Hunt and
these Lotvians and Lithuanians who dominate theworld's strongest man, but they don't really

(28:30):
have a pipeline to a college.Yeah, so some something. I hear
what you're saying about it being offset. It is just it. It's sad
to me that that golf just hadthat stranglehold. They just were not going
to let this out of our grasp. No, knowing good and well that
you have the potential to make youto have a player in your sport like

(28:51):
tiger, you know that can bethe greatest of all time or consider in
that conversation, and for so manyyears, longer than any other sport,
just said no, we're not goingto do it. We're not going to
do it. You know what themodern version of that is, and it's
pretty weird, and golf doesn't talkabout it, but it's the uh,
Asian and Korean players because LPGA issort of dominated by Korean players to the

(29:15):
point we're on the Asian Tour forthe women. You'll look at a leaderboard
and it'll say Lee three, Leesix. Because there's so many people with
the last name Lee, they puta number after it to decipher which one
is which. And in America,that is that hurts LPGA ratings because of
as dumb as it is, Idon't know who's who. They're all,

(29:36):
you know, basically racism, andI think male golf is worried about that.
We say it out loud, youknow, and we and male golfers
seem to celebrate everyone plenty. Ilove Dakie Maziyami, one of my picks
for the week, and he's oneof your best friends in the one of
my best friends. But we havean easier time, I guess with men's

(30:00):
golf deciphering between all of our Asianprofessionals. But women's golf really is dominated
by it, and they have ahard time. They have a hard time
with that and how to handle itpublicly. I have no idea. Yeah,
