This weekend delivered a sports feast worthy of multiple highlight reels, with Graham and Scott diving deep into Scottie Scheffler's historic PGA Championship victory that cements his place among golf's elite. Scheffler's 15th win in just over three years puts him in the conversation with early-career Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus—a statistical comparison that has both hosts marveling at what we're witnessing.
The conversation shifts through a whirlwind of playoff drama across multiple leagues. The NHL's Conference Finals are set with Stars-Oilers and Panthers-Hurricanes, featuring heartwarming stories like the Jets player who scored after his father's passing. Meanwhile, the NBA playoffs delivered stunning upsets with the Knicks taking down Boston and Oklahoma City dominating Denver, setting up conference finals that few predicted when the postseason began.
Not content to stick to on-field action, the guys break down the NFL schedule release phenomenon—particularly the Chargers' brilliant Minecraft-themed video filled with Easter eggs trolling division rivals. From QR codes mocking the Raiders to subtle jabs at Saquon Barkley's move to Philadelphia, the social media teams brought their A-game. The episode rounds out with discussion of Brock Purdy's new contract that rewards "Mr. Irrelevant" with top-tier quarterback money and an early preview of the upcoming US Open at intimidating Oakmont Country Club, where even the pros fear the lightning-fast greens.
Whether you're a fan of dramatic putts, Game 7 heroics, or social media brilliance, this episode captures the electricity of a packed sports weekend while delivering the unfiltered commentary and friendly banter that defines the Bald Guys on the Bench podcast.

Got home yesterday Was excited to watch the star and
the Jets game and it was solid.
Didn't disappoint.
Read the news earlier in theday that Seifle, for the Jets,
lost his dad either yesterdaymorning or Friday night.
It was questionable whether hewas going to start or not in the
(02:50):
game or even play.
Watch that last night Didn'tdisappoint.
Obviously, today, game twoKellen's flag team that I coach,
that didn't disappoint either.
The only thing thatdisappointed was Graham
challenged me with 40 pointslast night and, like I told
(03:14):
Graham earlier, it was 29 tonothing in the first half.
We pulled starters because inthe league 36 to nothing is a
skunk and we wanted to play.
We wanted guys that normallydon't play in certain positions.
We want them to play, you knowyeah so you know we won 29 to 7.
Kellen had a tutty through onelittle run pass option through
(03:38):
one, two.
I think I sent you the video ofhis running one, yeah, um, but
it was solid, solid, dude Solid.
Like my coach said hey, lastweek was act one, this week's
act two, let's just keep gettingbetter.
And we did.
Graham (03:53):
It's good to know that those little tweaks that you

, so I'm happy.
Scott (04:01):
And by tweaks we mean Graham, don't give me anything,
okay, wow, wow, okay, bro, sure,anyhow, let's just jump right
into it.
Dude, stanley club playoff orno, sorry, pga championship
weekend.
If you listened to last week'sepisode and you bet, hopefully
(04:24):
you didn't on Graham's favoriteand underdog and my favorite
underdog, I'm just going to goout there right now and just
apologize.
Graham (04:32):
Sorry.
Scott (04:34):
My bad, you know, not very good, but it was an amazing
tournament.
You know the PGA championshipis run by the pga of america.
I'm a member of that.
Uh, it was pretty exciting.
First day you're looking at theleaderboard, you're going uh,
(04:55):
it was he.
It was he.
Did luke donald forget itwasn't 2014, right?
And I mean, goodness gracious.
You know, we had the controversyof all the rain and the mud on
the golf balls and scotty, roryand xander all making double on
(05:16):
the 16th hole in the first roundand scotty complaining about
the mud and you.
Then we had Lowry on Friday.
His ball lands in somebodyelse's pitch mark, he makes a
double in that hole, misses thecut.
Then we got Statton on Fridayone of the best things I've seen
this year making seven on 18,which was his ninth hole of the
(05:40):
day, and he hits a chip shot,chunks it and then he literally
spits at the divot and startswailing a sandwich.
It was awesome.
Dude, reminded me of sergio.
Remember when sergio spit inthe cup that year?
Yeah, couldn't tell you whatevent it was, but it was just
like oh my god.
Then yesterday, all of a sudden,scott east putter gets hot and
(06:03):
by getting hot, my guy madeseven birdies in an eagle on
saturday.
Is that any good?
I'm sitting here texting peopleand I'm like this is about to
be a runaway.
He's gonna win by six or seven.
This shit's over and it got alittle tight today.
Not gonna say it didn't, I meanI didn't see it, I was coaching
(06:25):
and we're walking off the fieldand my dad's like dude, scottie
only has a one-shot lead andI'm like I'm sorry, what?
Couldn't believe it.
But then you know, rom gottired because they don't play 72
holes on the live tour and Romfinishes bogey double-double.
(06:50):
And you know scotty bogey the72nd hole wins by five.
But I don't even want to talkabout that, don't even need to
get into it.
You know stat of the day.
You ready?
This is amazing.
I saw this earlier.
I had to do a screenshot.
Okay, the pga championship wasplayed at quail hollow, which is
in the state of north carolina,in charlotte.
Okay, charlotte is the home ofthe carolina panthers.
Okay, wins since 2022 carolinapanthers 14, scotty scheffler 15
(07:18):
.
Is that any good?
I mean, it's kind ofbreathtaking, right?
I?
you know, it's hard to to saysomething about that.
Graham (07:34):
I know no, it's just.
I've just been thinking a lotabout recently how people are, I
wouldn't say comparing, butkind of just like holding him up
to the light, like, oh,remember when Tiger was dominant
and he was number one player inthe world and his 2000 season
(07:57):
versus Scottie's you know seasonlast year, it's just like you
know.
There there's certain thingswhere it's just like, yeah,
tiger definitely dominated,hands down greatest season on
tour ever, the 2000 season, likeI get that.
You know, it's funny.
I was watching something onlinejust to reiterate something
(08:18):
Tiger won nine times right times.
Right.
He only played in 16.
He played, no, he played in 16events.
Scott (08:31):
The one or 17 events the ones he didn't finish in seven
of them he still finished in thetop 10 I love that you're
bringing this up, okay, becausesomething I saw what after the
dub, I was like wow, and that is.
After the dub, I was like wow,and that is I love that you're
bringing up the Tiger versus.
Scottie thing.
Shortest span between first winand 15th PGA Tour win Tiger
(09:03):
Woods three years, 32 days.
Jack Nicklaus three years, 32days.
Jack Nicklaus Three years, 45days.
Scotty Scheffler Three years,92 days.
Wow, that shows you what we'refucking dealing with right now.
Yeah, I'm so late, wrong, andby no means am I even saying
that Scotty is Tiger or JackRight.
(09:26):
I'm just saying what we'vegotten to see is historic Facts.
I mean, listen to this shit,dude, listen to this shit, go
ahead.
Last four seasons 82 starts, 82.
45 top fives wins, three majors, two players, championships,
(09:50):
one gold medal in the olympics,four missed cuts, 75 million and
winnings.
Take the money out of it,because the money's obviously
way different than it was.
Yeah right and 141 weeks atworld number one.
Graham (10:10):
You know, we'll never know, but just to imagine those
two playing in their primestogether, it's just.
The thing is, there's parts ofScotty's game that it's just
like I mean folks, if you don'tknow, if you've been listening
to the show long enough, you,Scott and I but me personally,
(10:31):
Tiger Woods is my hands-downfavorite Like it's not even
close, Like I love the duderight.
There's parts of Scotty's gamethat are just I don't want to
say comfortable, but it's justlike the way he goes about it.
(10:51):
Like Tiger was just soaggressive but what made him so
good was, even if he hit it allover the world, his second shot.
Or like his approach to thegreen and then just his manner
around the green and like how Iguess the stat is the scoring
stat would be the right term forthat.
It's just like scotty keeps itin play.
(11:12):
It's it's not like he's nothitting it all over the place,
he's just like all right, I'mgonna hit fairways.
Today I'm gonna hit on the green.
Scott (11:20):
He hit 13 or 14 fairways yesterday.
That's what I'm saying Then thenews comes out tonight and we
never heard about it because allwe heard about was Rory and his
driver being nonconforming, andhe found out Tuesday.
Then it comes out tonight thatScotty's driver was
nonconforming too.
That's crazy, dude.
I listened to the PGA TourSirius radio on the way to work
(11:46):
on Thursday.
Listen to the marquee group teeoff.
They teed off the back.
Nine Scotty makes bogey, ormakes par on 10, makes bogey on
11.
And he, looking pretty shady,zips in on 12.
Okay, the guy's short game isinsane.
Oh yeah, and like, like I toldyou yesterday when I texted you
(12:09):
oh shit, the putter's on fire,this shit's over yeah, it's,
it's dude.
Graham (12:19):
I mean it's like one or the other.
I, I mean I'd still take, likeI mean when Tiger was on, like
you're not, I mean you're notstopping the guy yeah, clutch
putts from five feet if yourlife depended on it.
Scott (12:34):
You know you're taking Jack, you're taking Tiger.
Graham (12:37):
Oh yeah.
Scott (12:39):
Third is it Scotty?
Graham (12:42):
Yeah, but granted a longer body of work.
But there's just so many puttsthat a fan of golf could be like
.
Oh, I remember Tiger atArnold's Place, tiger at
Sawgrass, tiger at the Masters.
I mean there's just so manyputts that he had to make just
to A force a playoff like the USOpen.
Scott (13:06):
With a broken leg.
Yeah With a broken leg.
Yeah With a broken leg.
Graham (13:09):
Exactly Like there's just so many putts that you're
just like oh, you know.
Steve Williams said that he'sjust like Tiger just had that
confidence.
Where it's just like when thecaddy says to the interviewer
like oh, I just knew he wasgoing to make it, like there's
just no doubt in my mind thathe's not going to perform and
(13:29):
like to say that about someonelike it's just mind-boggling Can
we talk about Ted Scott hiscaddy.
Yeah.
Scott (13:42):
That literally leaves Bubba.
Bubba Watson of, yeah, twogreen jackets goes over to
scotty.
And the crazy thing about thisis I heard the story today or
this week on a podcast whenscotty called ted scott.
Like ted scott was already donewith bubba and ted told him he
(14:03):
goes look if we're, if I'mcoming to work for you, we're
doing it the right way.
I need you to be even keel.
Yeah, I'm going to haveattitude, ted Scott, two green
jackets with Scotty, two withBubba now a PGA.
Yeah dude, and let's the coolestthing for me as a PGA yeah,
(14:25):
dude, and let's the coolestthing for me as a PGA member.
As a golf professional, scottyhas been working with the same
coach since he was 13 years oldand that's Randy Smith, who is a
PGA member at Royal OaksCountry Club in Dallas.
Amazing To me, absolutelyamazing.
(14:48):
They were interviewing himafter and you know what do you
say?
You've known Homeboy since hewas 13.
You've been giving him lessonsand been with him.
And you know something I wastelling my dad that I didn't
realize Colt Nost, you know,everybody knows Colt Nost, one
of the US Amateur, does a subparpodcast.
Now he works for CBS.
(15:09):
Dude, colt Nost has known Scottyforever, right, and he said
Scotty would just come out atRoyal Oaks Country Club in
Dallas and watch and watch allthe big boys, and Colt's been
there with him.
And he said the hardest thingwhen Scottie didn't contention
and Colt is doing the broadcaston CBS is not showing favoritism
(15:33):
, right, you know, because theycan't do it, but it's an amazing
story because the guy didn'thave this amazing junior career.
You know, you played his assoff at University of Texas.
He had to go to the Corn FairyTour, yeah Right.
And I mean some people say hecame out of nowhere.
(15:55):
But this dude, he won inPhoenix his first win at the
Waste Management.
And then he's like, hey,everybody hold my beer.
And, like Colt Nose said, thething that gave him the most
confidence didn't even realizethis was being a captain's pick
for the Ryder Cup when wedominated Whistling Straits.
(16:17):
And on Sunday, when wedominated at Whistling Straits,
and then on Sunday gettingpaired up in singles matches
against ROM, and he dominatedROM and Colton.
This was like that was the end.
He believed in himself.
He got the captain's pick,dominated ROM, the end.
Yeah, where are we now?
(16:39):
Yeah, I mean, everybody waslike, can you win another major?
You know, his first two hadgreen jackets involved.
Today he gets the Wanamakertrophy and breaks it when he
picks it up.
Graham (16:52):
Yeah, I saw that.
Scott (16:53):
Literally Same as Colin Morikawa, you know, picks it up,
the top falls off.
Well, this time this goddamnthing got bent.
Whoops yeah, but dude so sick.
Whoops yeah, but dude so sick.
I mean, I don't know.
Graham (17:13):
It's funny we may have mentioned it, but For all the
people out there that think thatCaddies are people that just
carry the bags and get thedivots and rank the bunkers,
it's not Even that that.
Caddies are people that justcarry the bags and, you know,
get the divots and rank thebunkers.
Announcer (17:28):
It's not even that.
Scott (17:28):
No, that's the farthest from the truth, not even close.
Graham (17:30):
Most people don't even realize that caddies are players
that wanted to make itthemselves, and just Some are
Some are Some, but I meanthere's like there's strengths
out there, dude, oh for sure.
Scott (18:00):
Where the bad shot is hit , where you, you have to be
behind your guy and say, eventhough you don't believe it's
the right club, I like it, let'sgo.
You know, it ain't like it usedto be, where all you're doing
is grabbing the bag and walkingwith it, oh for sure yeah.
(18:21):
Especially when I know twoworld-class caddies out there
that have made a career and ashit ton of money carrying golf
bags.
Announcer (18:32):
Yeah.
Scott (18:34):
Tuesday morning on Augusta last year, fowler ain't
playing his practice until 1o'clock.
Where am I and Romano on the10th seed?
Romano's?
Out there walking hole by holeby hole, getting yardages
confirming everything that shitpeople don't know oh, 100, I
(18:56):
mean, look they don't they gottarealize it.
Graham (19:01):
It's great for the player, but they're like the
caddies' help and advice andsecurity is there for the player
and then, in return, if theplayer plays well, then that's
where he gets his beat.
It's like, how do I say this?
It's a team, yeah, it's a totalteam effort.
(19:22):
It's a team and those peopleit's not like, oh, one person's
doing all the work, you knowwhat I mean?
Like people don't realize thework that goes out there of the
caddy, where it's just likewhere they have to map the golf
course, like, yeah, they haveyardage books, but that doesn't
mean anything.
Like the caddies know.
Like, all right, if we're gonnahit it over here, what are our
shots gonna be from from doingthis?
If we're're going to hit itover here, what is this?
(19:43):
What's the angle of the slope?
Doing this over here?
What's the best plan of attack?
Because a lot of regulargolfers are not good enough to
understand, maybe not understandthe concept, but it's just like
.
Scott (19:54):
Hey, you said a lot of regular golfers.
Let's just say 99.5% of peoplethat play the game.
All they want to do is makecontact and get the ball
airborne, right or advance itexactly and aka hit.
Graham (20:10):
The green professionals are not like oh, let's just get
it on the green, it's where?
Do I want to leave the ball onthe green, specifically to leave
me a shot.
That for the best chance for ashot, you know, for a, for a
birdie or whatsoever.
It's just like there's so muchthat goes into it that I feel
like it gets overlooked.
And you know when you're in it,you know and it's just things
(20:33):
people should know, dude,something I'm very disappointed.
Scott (20:37):
I don't have the stat of right now and I think I know the
stat, but I'm just going tothrow it out there.
Last week, you know, becauseit's the PGA Championship, there
were 20 club pros like myselfthat got to play in this event
and I think I threw out theretwo club pros would make the cut
.
I think that's what I said andI don't know if anybody did, but
(21:03):
I remember you asking me if acertain individual was going to
make the cut and I said no andhe did not make the cut, and
that's Michael Bach.
Did you see what he said, dude,friday afternoon, after he
missed the cut and shot like 82,83?
Did you see his quote?
Announcer (21:28):
Yeah.
Graham (21:29):
I mean refresh my memory please.
Scott (21:32):
Dude literally says after shooting 82 on Friday, Michael
Block told golfcom that thesmaller crowd size is his poor
performance on missing the cut.
That's kind of the funny part.
I wish there was a huge crowdon every single hole because
that's when I hit my shots.
(21:52):
When there's no one around,that's when I hit my worst shots
I'm just gonna yeah, I mean Idon't know.
I I mean when you told me thatwhen it first came out, I was
like wait what?
Graham (22:04):
Yeah, I mean RIP, I mean when you told me that when it
first came out, I was like waitwhat?
Scott (22:09):
Like he I mean I know there's been other people that
have been giving him his flowersOn other podcast shows Dude
people that have had him ontheir shows after he did what he
did at Oak Hill two years agowere blasting him Like shut up.
(22:35):
My point is how many times havewe referenced him, like after
the fact, just within this pastyear, I mean within the last,
how many episodes, like I just Imean, dude, remember after the
event was over and he went outand said if I could hit it as
far as Rory, I'd be a top 10player in the world and people
(22:59):
gave him shit for that.
Graham (23:01):
Yeah, but okay, I'm okay with that saying what he just
said the other day.
Scott (23:11):
I mean you can't get behind that I know him
personally and reading thecomments after he said it, I was
just like dude.
Why, why, why.
Graham (23:25):
I'm like was this out of context?
Hopefully, please.
Scott (23:29):
Like just dip it, dude, you know, god bless America.
Like who would say that.
You left Nike to go to goodgood and you know Nike was
paying him a shit ton of money.
He's an amazing guy.
What he's done for club prosand what he does is amazing.
And he just pissed on his foot.
Announcer (23:52):
Oh.
Scott (23:54):
I, one of my favorite bands ever, incubus, one of
their lyrics in their song toresist is to piss in the wind.
Dude, you just pissed in thewind.
I and people are over it.
They're like all right, you're15 minutes of fame shut up and
(24:16):
he's a better person than that.
That's the thing, you know.
That's what I don't know, dude.
Dustin Johnson is his careerover.
I mean one of the easiest.
Well, one of the two bets Imade this week that actually won
was him to miss the cut.
(24:37):
Never, even in doubt, did youever sweat that.
Graham (24:44):
No.
Announcer (24:45):
Maybe as you hit submit.
Graham (24:47):
Did you ever sweat that?
No, but to be fair, the amountof people in the World Golf
Ranking, in the top 20, thatmissed the cut, or let alone
even the top 50, I mean therewas a lot of really good players
that missed it.
I mean not that I'm that'stomato-tomato over here, I mean
apples and oranges.
It's not the same thing here.
I'm that's tomato, tomato overhere, I mean apples and oranges.
It's not the same thing hereI'm just saying, um, yeah, I
(25:08):
mean he's dude, it's like he's,it's like he's a club pro.
Now he's just out there to havefun, he's toast.
Yeah.
Scott (25:17):
He's getting paid Chilling, go home to those
hammers, I mean like we weretalking on the right.
He'd won two majors, remember.
He won at Oakmont and he won atAugusta.
Announcer (25:32):
Yeah.
Scott (25:33):
It's not like he's a slouch.
Graham (25:37):
And he should have won at.
Scott (25:40):
Whistling Straits when the happy cows in Wisconsin were
saying that the bunker was abunker and not a waste area.
Graham (25:47):
Yeah.
So I mean, how old is he now?
Is he upper 30s?
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I don't think he's in his.
Is he 40 yet?
Scott (25:59):
I'm going to look it up.
I'm going to look it up asyou're asking.
Graham (26:02):
I don't know.
Scott (26:02):
Let's see Dustin Johnson.
He is about 40.
Graham (26:14):
Yeah, I don't know, just guess what?
In 10 years we'll see him onthe senior tour yeah, I don't
know dude, I mean like god blessamerica the guy.
Scott (26:30):
He had so much talent, dude, when he came out and um
not saying he doesn't still he?
Graham (26:39):
he was the number one player in the world for a little
while.
I mean he wasn't a slouch, it'sjust.
I mean, look at 40, it's hardto compete at that high of a
level.
Also, he is on the other tour.
He only plays in the majors.
So I mean it's just.
(26:59):
I mean obviously the fire'sstill there.
I mean I'm sure he wants to dobetter.
Scott (27:03):
He definitely wants.
Graham (27:04):
Yeah, 100%, I just.
Scott (27:10):
Yeah, I just sent you that on IG.
That was posted three hours ago.
Since we're talking about thetopic, I mean it's that time of
the week, a hot chick of theweek, goodness gracious, paulina
three hours ago threw aninstagram post out there.
Graham (27:29):
If you don't know, now you know but wait, hold on what
does he wait what?
What did Bryson just say?
Scott (27:39):
Bryson said he needs a new golf ball.
Graham (27:42):
I'm reading this right now folks.
Bryson DeChambeau says he needsto find a golf ball that will
fly straighter and says it willbe up to manufacturing on
whether he can address this needbefore the US Open.
What Well, here before the USOpen, what.
Scott (28:02):
Well, here's the thing dude Golf balls now versus 15,
20 years ago.
Okay, 15, 20 years ago the golfball would spin a lot more and
the game was played with curves.
Okay, okay, a lot morecurvature.
The golf ball now doesn't spinas much as it used to.
(28:23):
The game of golf now is playedhit it high, landed, soft, right
.
There's not a lot of shotmaking involved in golf anymore,
Not saying dudes, don't curveit.
We just witnessed it in Augustawith maybe the best shot we've
ever seen in Augusta, from Roryhooking that seven iron on 15.
Okay, around the trees, one ofthe best shots we've ever seen
in Augusta, arguably.
(28:44):
But you know I'm going to sayBubba, same, so I get.
The thing is the speed thatBryson had the ball come off the
face.
It's hard to manufacture agoddamn golf ball that can do
(29:04):
that.
Yeah, when Bryson found his wayon tour he was playing a
Bridgestone golf ball.
When Bryson won the US Openlast year at Pinehurst he played
a Pro-V left dash X Left dashdidn't spin as much and arguably
(29:26):
the best golf ball out there.
I don't know if he's stillplaying it.
I have no idea.
All I know is Bryson's gamedependent on controlling the
golf ball.
We all know how far the goddamnguy hits it.
I mean, for shit sakes.
I think Friday on 16, a525-yard par 4, he had wedge in.
Graham (29:53):
To be fair, folks, he hits his wedge like 180.
Scott (29:58):
Well, that's because all the clubs are the same.
God dang length, but that wasan issue for him.
Graham (30:04):
Uh, this weekend, dude I don't know.
Scott (30:09):
I mean we could sit here and make this entire episode
about the pga championship,because there's so many stories
that we could talk about, but wedon't need to do that.
I'm just going to say it was afun tournament.
A lot of dudes missed the cutthat we thought were going to
play well, and Rory was kind ofa non-factor, right I mean.
Graham (30:34):
Rory, Justin, Thomas Shoffley, I mean at least.
Scott (30:38):
Rory and Shoffley made the cut.
Jt didn't Ludvig?
Ludvig missed cut.
No, I'm not saying that aboutour picks, I'm just saying no.
Graham (30:49):
I know.
But, I'm just saying, oh golf,clap to making the cut.
I mean yo guys your favorite'sover here.
Scott (30:56):
I mean, dude, when I'm literally watching the pregame
coverage and the leaders tee offat two 40 and I'm watching Rory
and softly at 11 am On the golfcourse, yeah, it's weird.
Graham (31:14):
It's like you turn on the coverage and they're already
on whole nine and you're likeWhoa they're got one foot out
the goddamn door.
Speaking of one foot out thedoor, the best thing I saw this
week was Brooks Koepka at theconvenience store with that
30-pack in hand of that MillerLite.
Scott (31:35):
So I've seen the picture too.
I've seen it multiple timesfrom multiple different
platforms.
I was talking to billy about itlast night.
Was that really him?
You don't think that looksexactly it looked exactly like
him, but if you zoom in, if youzoom in, it's like but the best
thing I saw from kepka this weekwas him yelling at the fan.
Graham (32:00):
Oh 100%.
Scott (32:01):
Come down here and say it to me Like oh damn, oh damn
folks.
Graham (32:08):
If there's one person you don't want to mess with,
he's one of those dudes like hey, it's the mess around and find
out.
I mean, he's a big boy, oh,solid, solid boy.
Scott (32:24):
But I mean dude, just before we change topics, I just
gotta throw this out there.
I absolutely loved the factthat keegan bradley finished in
the top 10.
Yeah, because this is going tobe a topic that a lot of people
are going to start to talk about.
Graham (32:45):
Yeah, because we know Keegan Bradley is what the
captain for the Ryder Cup and hehas some choices to make.
Scott (32:58):
And he came out and already said it he will not make
himself a captain's pick.
The only way he'll play on theteam is if he qualifies Dude.
Graham (33:08):
Look, is that the right thing to say yes, after him
getting snubbed last time?
Scott (33:19):
He ain't picking himself.
He's not going to pick himself,but if he just misses it.
Graham (33:24):
So is it the top six American golfers in their rank.
Scott (33:28):
I think it's six and then six, six and six.
Graham (33:31):
So six man He'd have to be.
I mean the top ten rankings,aren't most of them American
anyway?
Scott (33:41):
He'd have to be in the top 10.
As far as Ryder Cup, no, Idon't think he is.
Graham (33:48):
No, oh, there's Ryder Cup stat or rankings already
it's not just whoever the top 10players in the world, it's not
based off the world ranking.
Scott (33:57):
Yeah, here we go.
Ryder Cup standings 2025 teamrankings.
Announcer (34:01):
Yeah.
Scott (34:02):
This was we're gonna.
This was six days ago.
I don't want that bullshit.
I want right.
God dang, now We'll edit thisshit out right now.
Right meow, uh, what day isthis?
As of May, 12th a week ago?
Okay, scotty won.
Scotty Xander, justin ThomasMorikawa, bryson, russell Henley
(34:30):
.
There's the top six.
Your next six in order, andrew.
Graham (34:42):
Novak, maverick McNeely, brian Harmon, patrick Cantley.
Scott (34:44):
JJ Spahn Harris, English.
I'd pick maybe one of thoseguys.
Keegan's 22 as of last week.
Obviously, this is going tochange.
Graham (34:53):
Okay, those second six Be honest.
Scott (35:02):
How many of the second six would you actually want on
the team?
I'm a hundred percent taken.
Cantley Okay, maybe HarrisEnglish, cause he's steady.
Graham (35:15):
I mean, but there's nothing sexy about them.
Scott (35:19):
Hey, have you seen the European squad?
Ain't nothing sexy about it,because they are solid.
Graham (35:36):
Yeah, I know, I just I know it's scary.
I'll tell you one thing whenI'm there, or listen, when we're
there at Bethpage, if I seeBrian Harmon, I'm fucking
throwing a golf ball at him.
If we pick him, I swear to God,I'm going to write a letter.
(35:57):
I'm going to go on every socialmedia platform say Keegan, you
fucked us.
Brian Harmon and Beth Page isthe last person I want.
Scott (36:09):
Yeah, we know that it's a long fucking golf course, but,
dude, I don't know.
All I'm saying is right now,the European team.
But anyhow, this is not 100%about golf.
Let's jump right in real quick.
Wow, you looked like you weregoing to say something.
(36:32):
What are you saying?
Graham (36:32):
No, I'm just trying to think, because Koepka made his
way on last time, so maybe if hewon the US Open, well, bry's
the deal.
Scott (36:41):
Bryson's not in our top six.
He's going to be on the goddamnteam.
Oh yeah, we know that.
Yeah, death taxes and Brysonbeing on the team at Bethpage
Black.
Okay, yeah, actually, no, Isaid he's number five.
Sorry, I did say his name.
Okay, say his name, but I don'tknow, dude, I just it's too
(37:04):
early.
We got a lot of golf left, wegot two more majors, we got the
fedex playoffs and we got allthese three round live tour
events that are non-existent.
You stop with that, but you know, whatever I gotta throw shade
when they're shade, whatever Igot to throw shade when they're
shade Dude.
Stanley Cup playoffs and thematchups are set for the
conference finals.
(37:24):
We got the Stars playing theOilers.
We got the Canes playing thePanthers.
Like I said earlier, the factthat homeboys scored a goal last
night playing in a game the dayhis dad passed away, it was
amazing, and against the Jets.
But something that was evencrazier about that game was 30
(37:48):
seconds left in you knowregulation.
In the third period he had apenalty on the Stars player that
had a breakaway.
That could and should have beena penalty shot.
Slightly Still to this momentdon't understand why it wasn't
called a penalty shot.
So Stars open up overtime on apower play.
(38:12):
Boom.
Stars win Jets.
Here's a fun fact the Jets didnot win one game on the road in
their first two series and theywere the number one seed in the
West.
Not one road game.
Pretty amazing, it's amazing to.
(38:36):
I can't believe it happened,but it is what it is.
Knights won or lost the othernight.
We're not even going to getinto that.
When you don't score a goal infucking your last two games,
it's pretty hard to advance.
Graham (38:52):
Yeah and they had chances.
Scott (38:54):
Oilers dominated the series.
You know when four games won.
But, dude, the Stars are solid,the Oilers are solid.
It's a rematch of last year'swestern conference finals.
Dude, something I gotta saybecause jerry texted me this
morning peter deborah, who wasthe stars head coach okay,
(39:17):
before the stars he was theknights head coach.
Before the Stars, he was theKnights head coach.
Before the Knights, he was theSan Jose Sharks head coach.
He has made the WesternConference Finals six out of the
last seven years and has beenfired twice, you know what we
(39:47):
haven't said in a while.
Graham (39:47):
I know exactly what you're gonna say make it make
sense six out of the last sevenyears bro I mean, he must not be
a good coach.
Scott (40:04):
Dude, that's pretty wild.
I mean, just like wilders.
So now that your team's out ofit, who are you rooting for?
Oh, was that a classic Grahamtext thread with Andy when
something happened in fantasyfootball?
Who are you rooting for?
(40:25):
To be honest, I am rooting foranyone but the Oilers.
Oh no, I don't want anotherCanadian.
I don't want another Canadian.
I don't want a Canadian win.
I want to see thesepoutine-eating, beanie-eyed
(40:50):
people suffer by not winning acup for another year.
Okay, I literally thought thatwas going to change this year
because, Toronto jumped out to a2, two, nothing lead on the
Panthers, yeah, okay.
And then the Panthers are like,yeah, we're defending cup
champions, hold my beer Headinginto tonight.
(41:13):
The last four game sevens withToronto playing.
They've lost them all Lost five, one lost two to one, lost
three to one, lost five-1, lost5-1, and tonight I think it was
6-1.
Graham (41:28):
And it was nil-nil after one, that second period, it was
like goal Goal Dude, theyscored three goals in three and
a half minutes.
Announcer (41:38):
Right.
Graham (41:39):
Six minutes.
Scott (41:41):
But still, whatever it felt like three minutes, right,
six minutes, oh, six minutes,but still whatever it felt like
three minutes.
Yeah, I'm like, uh, dude, Imean, who do I think's going to
be playing in the finals?
I think it's going to be arematch of last year.
I think it's going to be theOilers and the Panthers, and
that was an amazing series.
It went seven games.
You know, I I would like to seethe canes beat the panthers.
(42:03):
Don't think it's gonna happen.
Yeah.
I'd like to see the stars beatthe oilers don't think it's
gonna happen.
Yeah.
But I don't know.
I mean going into it literally,you know, I looked at it earlier
.
The series line Panthers areminus 125 playing the Canes.
(42:23):
Canes are plus 105.
Edmonton and Dallas both areminus 110 in the series.
So who knows, dude, it allcomes down to who's a hot goalie
, and I would probably go outthere and say the worst goalie
out of the four remaining teamsis the goalie for edmonton, but
(42:49):
he sure shut the shit out of myvegas knights.
I mean, I don't know, but whoknows, dude?
Nba playoff let's jump right in, dude.
Goodness gracious.
Pacers-knicks, who saw thatshit coming OKC, and the
Timberwolves, who saw that shitcoming OKC, yes.
Graham (43:18):
So much to unpack there.
Let me start when to start.
All right, let's do the OKC.
I thought it was going to be aseries.
Did I think it was going to goto seven games?
No, no chance.
But the thing was two of thefour wins that Oklahoma City had
were 30 plus point wins.
Scott (43:42):
Yeah, after they lost game one, after they lost game
one, after they lost game one,would they win by a game two?
Yeah 40-some-odd A shit ton.
Graham (43:50):
Yeah, and the thing is, OKC should have actually won
game one.
They choked it at the end andthat's why they felt so bad and
they took Denver to school thenext day.
So, I mean, look, denver,starting today, which I was
surprised that they played it atthree east noon west out here I
was like that's an interestingtime to play the game seven.
(44:12):
But regardless of the fact, um,look, denver was actually up 10
in the first quarter and then,as I like like to say, what had
happened was dun dun dun.
Um, yeah, okay, he said hold mybeer.
Uh, we got it from here and itwas pretty much over after
halftime.
You know it.
(44:33):
There wasn't much denver coulddo.
Um, look, they fired theircoach a week and a half before
the playoff started.
They had a nice run with theirassistant.
Um, they still got good qualityplayers.
But the problem with Denver isthey're top heavy.
They got a good starting five,but their players on the bench
(44:59):
you know, but look now, mostteams don't have solid benches.
But I mean, at least you couldhave a couple guys could come
off and give you a spark.
But dallas, not dallas, denverdidn't.
You know?
They relied on yokich, theyrelied on murray, they relied on
uh, gordon, it's just they.
(45:21):
It's like they ran out of gasand plus for the Nuggets were in
two Game 7s.
They were in Game 7 of Round 1and Game 7 of Round 2.
They played so many games withina small period of time and
people, look, I get it.
I know the professionalathletes are like, oh well, they
had two days rest To a normalperson.
(45:44):
Yes, that sounds like a lot Topro athletes, it doesn't so I
mean, I guess it just depends onhow you want to take that.
Rest is important, but you know, the one thing I'll say is this
OKC winning is actually a goodthing for the league One.
(46:05):
They had the best record in theleague, but now all four teams
that are left the two in eachconference championships are all
teams that they have playersthat have not won a ring yet and
all the storylines like theKnicks.
Scott (46:22):
Yes, did you see outside Madison Square Garden?
Announcer (46:26):
the night when they won Was that any good.
Graham (46:29):
Yeah.
Announcer (46:30):
That's what I'm telling you.
Graham (46:32):
When the Knicks are good , the NBA is so much better, so
much better.
Scott (46:39):
So OKC and the Timberwolves?
Obviously, we know OKC is goingto be favored in the series.
Graham (46:51):
What do you think the Moneyline series number is Minus
?
Announcer (46:56):
350?
.
Ding ding, ding, ding ding.
Scott (46:57):
You're pretty damn close Minus 330.
Is that 330?
Yeah, minus 330.
Yeah, minus 330.
Announcer (47:05):
Yeah, let's go.
I didn't look.
Scott (47:06):
OKC has home court right.
Graham (47:08):
Yeah, because they're the number one overall seed.
Scott (47:11):
Alright, what do you think the Knicks-Pacers money
line series is?
I think I told you this theother night.
Graham (47:18):
You did.
Did you say the Pacers arefavored?
No, the Knicks.
It's not by much.
It's Knicks or minus 145.
Yeah, it was like Plus 125.
Dude that series.
I could honestly Could coinflip it.
It's all about momentum,although I'll give it to the
(47:41):
Pacers They've been playingreally well in this playoffs.
They've been playing welltogether.
Scott (47:46):
The Knicks have been playing well, they've got
momentum.
Obviously, the Knicks had luckon their side with Homeboy going
out.
Graham (47:54):
Oh 100%.
Scott (47:56):
You know, but, the Knicks did lose.
They were clutch.
Graham (48:01):
They lost game six in Boston, handedly, might I add.
So I mean the fact that they orgame five.
Announcer (48:08):
I'm sorry, game five Game five and then game six.
Graham (48:10):
they took care of business, I mean, but to be fair
, that game six that they won athome the Celtics.
Scott (48:20):
That shit was over.
Graham (48:21):
That shit was over before it started not only could
they not make a bucket, theylooked like they've never played
together like there was nochemistry, I mean I get that but
give a shit meter was you loseyour best player, you know yes,
(48:43):
but the thing is they have.
They showed a stat games playedwithout jason tatum.
They were like 10 and 2.
It's like, it's not like, oh,you lose your best player and
you know you're 300 winpercentage, like they were 800,
it's, it's.
(49:04):
It was just amazing how thatseries went.
I'm I I really, like I said, Ithink it's going to be a coin
flip.
Coming out the east, I'mrooting for the knicks but, to
be perfectly honest with you, Idon't think either team has a
chance against whoever comes outthe west I really just getting
ready to say against whoevercomes out the West?
Scott (49:23):
I really don't.
I was just getting ready to saythat Whoever comes out of the
West is winning it.
Graham (49:25):
Yeah, I don't.
And the thing is, with thatbeing said, I don't know what's
a better story, if OKC wins orif Minnesota wins.
I mean, I'll just say this Ithink I'm going to have to root
for OKC, just so we don't haveto hear someone in our group
text in the San Diego League.
Scott (49:48):
Well you know who I'm rooting for.
Yeah, I mean, I think it wouldbe sick to see the Knicks reach
the finals against whoeverObviously we're saying whoever
comes out of the West Right, butwould it be an amazing story
for NBA basketball if the Knicksended up getting the dub.
Graham (50:09):
Oh bro, so amazing, so stupid, so amazing.
Yeah, without a doubt, new YorkCity hasn't had a sports win in
a hot minute now.
The Mets haven't done anything,the Yankees haven't done
anything, the Giants haven'tdone anything.
Scott (50:28):
The Giants have the most recent championship than any of
them Is that true.
Yeah Well, it's either theGiants or the Yankees.
Graham (50:38):
but I think the Giants have won it.
Announcer (50:41):
No chance.
Scott (50:43):
Giants beat the Yankees, but I think the Giants are one
of them.
No chance.
Announcer (50:47):
Giants beat the Patriots twice.
Yeah, but what?
Graham (50:48):
was that.
Announcer (50:50):
Was that 2012 was the second one.
Graham (50:53):
It's close.
It's been over 10 years yeah,it's around the same time, but
still.
Scott (50:59):
Anyhow, let's jump in NFL news, not a lot, lot, but a
little bit.
Something you and I have beenanxiously awaiting and I love
how the nfl has made this like aspectacle, right, you know, the
nfl just does whatever they cando to keep making that cash.
(51:21):
Oh, schedule release Prime time8 pm.

They did the anime thing, theydid all this stuff with all the
Easter eggs in their videos.

You know it's got Aaron Rodgerssitting, sitting on the bench,
but the best.
Well, there's two.
There's two little easter eggsof the entire schedule release.
(53:08):
When we play the giants I don'tknow if you saw it they show
the giants in their building andthey literally have a picture
of saquon and the eagles jerseyand in the top right, left
portion of the picture Justthrowing shade at the Giants and
Saquon.
But then, dude, the Eagles.
(53:28):
The Eagles say when we'replaying the Eagles, they're
showing the Eagles supposedly attheir Super Bowl parade and all
the players on the field andthe banner across the screen
says Save the Tush, Push Parade.
And it's got Reed Blankenshipand Cooper DeGene on there.
The banner across the screensays Save the Tush Push Parade
and it's got Reed Blankenshipand Cooper DeGene on there.
(53:49):
But then there's a store frontin the middle of Philadelphia
that says Jason Kelsey CellPhone Repair Service.
And if anybody remembers whenKelsey was on college game day
and somebody was being a dick tohim and he grabbed homeboy's
cell phone and smashed it Dude.
When I saw that I lost it Allright.
Graham (54:12):
Can I get a hand check?
Can I get a hand check?
What game was that?
Do you remember?
Scott (54:19):
No, I don't.
But I remember Timberlandchallenged Kelsey, because
Kelsey always wear Timberlandboots, because you know how they
do the field goal try.
They had Kelsey on there.
I do not remember it.
Don't hold on.
Graham (54:33):
I didn't look this up.
It actually popped in my head.
Scott (54:36):
I don't remember it.
I'm just going to go out on alimb.
Shit, shit, shit.
Graham (54:42):
I'll give you a clue Give me a clue it was a Big Ten
game.
Scott (54:49):
Was it Penn State and somebody?
Graham (54:51):
Wow, okay.
Scott (54:53):
And I'm not looking, but Penn State wasn't at home, right
?
No, it was no, they were athome.
Was it Penn State and that teamfrom up north that has a nut as
their mascot?
Announcer (55:11):
was it?
Yes, sir, it was yes, sir thatwas hilarious.
Graham (55:16):
I'll never forget him smashing homeboy's phone people,
if you're gonna be be a dick,it's just going to happen.
Announcer (55:26):
I mean he ain't wrong dude.
I mean look at the dude.
Scott (55:33):
Look at the dude.
Saturday night Was it Fridaynight?
Three or four dudes tried tojump Antonio Brown for his
necklace and dude, did you seethe video?
Antonio Brown for his necklaceand dude, did you see the video?
Antonio Brown was gettingkicked, bro.
Then he pulls out his gun, thenhe gets arrested for almost
(55:53):
murder and then people saw thevideo and then he got released.
Yeah, dude, you don't thinkthere's a phone out in every
situation.
Graham (56:05):
Oh, dude, the amount of people Dude and good old.
Scott (56:09):
Antonio Brown.
He handled himself, dude.
I mean, he was getting kickedand he got out of that situation
and he's like all right, ms,you going to try to steal my
chain?
You?
Graham (56:17):
going to attack me.
You take enough hits in the NFL, I think, a few kicks or not, I
mean, I think that hit fromperfect was what's but shit,
dude.
Scott (56:29):
I mean god bless, uh, anyhow, uh, somebody finally got
signed.
That was, oh, being talkedabout for months and months, and
months.
What's it going to be?
What's going to happen?
Purdy, mr, what do they callhim?
Last pick in the draft.
Graham (56:50):
Relevant yeah.
Scott (56:52):
My boy just got relevant, because he got paid.
Graham (56:56):
I mean, is it safe to say he'll be the highest paid
last pick in the draft ever?
Like I don't think that wouldever get.
Scott (57:06):
Like I don't even think in the future that we'll get
touched and full trade, becausethe only way to make that type
of money would be, you know, notrade clause in the contract.
Graham (57:20):
Look, I'm happy for him.
He deserves it.
I'm aware that the nfl is notwhat you did for me already.
It's what you're gonna do forme.
I get that, but yo, when youtake your team to how many nfc
championships in the first fouryears and a Super Bowl?
Scott (57:41):
Yeah.
Graham (57:45):
And you're making less than a million dollars and the
owner can't, unless the ownerwas secretly breaking him off
money off the side.
Yeah, oh, good job.
All these people are like, ohwell, it's the pieces around him
.
That's why he deserves thatcontract you know, what Kick
rocks, bro, he made plays.
Scott (58:03):
I mean come on.
Graham (58:05):
Yeah, yes, you need studs to be good, like I get
that, but like you gotta makethe plays to get to ball the
ball to them.
You know what I mean.
Like it's not like, oh, it hasto happen.
Yeah, it's not like, oh, youthrew him a swing pass or you
threw him a slant and they tookit to the house.
You know it's not easy.
Shit like that like threw him aswing pass or you threw him a
slant and they took it to thehouse.
You know it's not easy.
Shit like that Like hecommanded the offense and I mean
(58:26):
it helps when you have goodplayers around him.
But I mean, look, the contractwas right.
Was he the top paid player inthe league?
Announcer (58:32):
No, Was he disrespected.
Graham (58:35):
No, his money is like eighth for average per season.
Eighth for average per season,that's fine.
I'm totally fine with that,because the thing is he still
can prove himself.
I mean, he still has a lot ofways to go.
And now it's almost morebeneficial for him to not get
the be the number one paid,because now it's just like look
(58:57):
who you got on your team now and, to be honest, it's still one
of those.
How are the 49ers?
How is their over under?
Scott (59:04):
still 10 and a half like with all those departures yeah,
I mean, they're still thefavorite to win the nfc west
yeah, there's no chance.
Graham (59:17):
I'm taking the rams day 100% All day with that.
I mean it's not even close.
Scott (59:28):
I don't know, man, that's crazy.
That's why they call itgambling right.
Graham (59:34):
Yeah, and not that you know what, not to kick a dead
horse.
But those golf bets folks,sorry, and if it makes you feel
any better, I went one for 11.
So, granted, four of thoselosses were on like individuals
(59:59):
to win it all.
I didn't take Sheffler, so likeit's okay, but you know, jt top
20, jt top 40, straka top 20and then a couple other players
I had.
It's just like, oh yeah, nope,nowhere, close.
Thank you for my 50 bucks thatI got from Dustin Johnson.
Scott (01:00:21):
Thank you, thank you the only two bets I have, one out of
all of them.
Was dj missing the cut and willthere be a hole in one?
Yeah, in the event that's it.
Graham (01:00:34):
And the thing about it is it's.
It's not that I care about thelosses, it's just they weren't
even close, nowhere.
No, like when the cut happenedand you see all the people that
missed the cut.
You're just like what?
Who?
yeah, like jonathan vegas wasthe was the date was winner
(01:00:56):
after round one, round two.
And you're just looking at theleaderboard and you're like
what's going on right now whichis also why they call Saturday
moving day Folks completelydifferent golf.
What was going on the first twodays compared to what happened
to yesterday and today?
You're just like are wewatching the same golf
tournament?
Scott (01:01:17):
Dude, and then Bryson yesterday he had it on fire Up
there.
And then Bryson.
Bryson, yesterday he had it onfire, yeah, up there, and then
he just goes.
Graham (01:01:26):
Yeah, Well, I mean hitting it with the water on 17
didn't help yesterday.
Scott (01:01:30):
Let's don't take anything away.
Quail Hollow, obviously anamazing property.
Graham (01:01:37):
Yeah.
Scott (01:01:38):
I mean it's now hosted two PGA championships and a
President's Cup.
There's a reason they keepgoing back there.
Graham (01:01:47):
No, for sure.
Scott (01:01:48):
You know they call it the longest.
What do they call it?
The last three holes?
The Green Mile, too Insane.
Holes 16, 17, 18, insane, butGraham's second major in the
books.
You know my bet out there isstill out there with Rory, over
(01:02:11):
one and a half majors as we turnthe chapter.
The hardest venue on earth isup next.
Graham (01:02:19):
That being said, right now is the final score below par
.
No, I knew you were going tosay that.
I just wanted to get it outthere, absolutely fucking not.
Scott (01:02:34):
No chance.
Graham (01:02:38):
So plus two is going to win it, Plus three If we're
lucky.
Scott (01:02:43):
You didn't ask me that, you just said is it on the board
?
Graham (01:02:45):
No, I know, I know, I know, but like it's.
Scott (01:02:49):
No chance, no chance.
I'm just going to go out thereright now and say, if conditions
are how the USGA and Oakmontwant it to be, when rain doesn't
you know't soften up the golfcourse, this US Open is going to
be electric because it's goingto bring so many people into the
(01:03:14):
mix.
If it's soft, it's going tobring the long hitters into the
mix.
If it's firm, fast, it's goingto bring the long hitters in the
mix.
If it's firm, fast and full ofgas, like we're hoping, fairways
are going to be a premium andI'm just going to go out there
right now and I'm going to sayit Zane Lowry is who I'm
watching going into OakmontBecause why he hits fairways.
Graham (01:03:41):
Kind of important.
Scott (01:03:43):
Dude, because that place is.
I've played it Ooh.
Graham (01:03:48):
Yeah, did you play it with Six Inch Rough?
Scott (01:03:53):
Dude.
It's the one place on Earthwhere they say they slow the
goddamn greens down for the USOpen compared to member play.
Graham (01:04:01):
That's insane.
Think about that, so.
So what regular member play?
What are they rolling Like a 16.
Dude the head pro.
Scott (01:04:12):
Dylan G G, however you say it, when they do their club
championship in October, whenthe heat's done, it goes to, our
greens will be 15 and a half.
Graham (01:04:21):
That's insane.
Scott (01:04:23):
And you know what the members love it.
Graham (01:04:27):
Oh well, I mean, they're used to it.
Scott (01:04:30):
Love, love it.
Okay, it's going to be a USOpen.
I can't wait.
It's going to be sick, it'sgoing to be fun.
Yeah, I can't wait St Lowry Stbe sick, it's gonna be fun.
You know, I can't wait.

Graham (02:19):
Oh, and apparently we got more of them.
So get ready, folks.
How about your weekend, boss?
How was yours, Dude, it wasgood.
Scott (02:28):
Got home yesterday Was excited to watch the star and
the Jets game and it was solid.
Didn't disappoint.
Read the news earlier in theday that Seifle, for the Jets,
lost his dad either yesterdaymorning or Friday night.
It was questionable whether hewas going to start or not in the
(02:50):
game or even play.
Watch that last night Didn'tdisappoint.
Obviously, today, game twoKellen's flag team that I coach,
that didn't disappoint either.
The only thing thatdisappointed was Graham
challenged me with 40 pointslast night and, like I told
(03:14):
Graham earlier, it was 29 tonothing in the first half.
We pulled starters because inthe league 36 to nothing is a
skunk and we wanted to play.
We wanted guys that normallydon't play in certain positions.
We want them to play, you knowyeah so you know we won 29 to 7.
Kellen had a tutty through onelittle run pass option through
(03:38):
one, two.
I think I sent you the video ofhis running one, yeah, um, but
it was solid, solid, dude Solid.
Like my coach said hey, lastweek was act one, this week's
act two, let's just keep gettingbetter.
And we did.
Graham (03:53):
It's good to know that those little tweaks that you
asked me for help for for theWoffense are working out for you
, so I'm happy.
Scott (04:01):
And by tweaks we mean Graham, don't give me anything,
okay, wow, wow, okay, bro, sure,anyhow, let's just jump right
into it.
Dude, stanley club playoff orno, sorry, pga championship
weekend.
If you listened to last week'sepisode and you bet, hopefully
(04:24):
you didn't on Graham's favoriteand underdog and my favorite
underdog, I'm just going to goout there right now and just
apologize.
Graham (04:32):
Sorry.
Scott (04:34):
My bad, you know, not very good, but it was an amazing
tournament.
You know the PGA championshipis run by the pga of america.
I'm a member of that.
Uh, it was pretty exciting.
First day you're looking at theleaderboard, you're going uh,
(04:55):
it was he.
It was he.
Did luke donald forget itwasn't 2014, right?
And I mean, goodness gracious.
You know, we had the controversyof all the rain and the mud on
the golf balls and scotty, roryand xander all making double on
(05:16):
the 16th hole in the first roundand scotty complaining about
the mud and you.
Then we had Lowry on Friday.
His ball lands in somebodyelse's pitch mark, he makes a
double in that hole, misses thecut.
Then we got Statton on Fridayone of the best things I've seen
this year making seven on 18,which was his ninth hole of the
(05:40):
day, and he hits a chip shot,chunks it and then he literally
spits at the divot and startswailing a sandwich.
It was awesome.
Dude, reminded me of sergio.
Remember when sergio spit inthe cup that year?
Yeah, couldn't tell you whatevent it was, but it was just
like oh my god.
Then yesterday, all of a sudden,scott east putter gets hot and
(06:03):
by getting hot, my guy madeseven birdies in an eagle on
saturday.
Is that any good?
I'm sitting here texting peopleand I'm like this is about to
be a runaway.
He's gonna win by six or seven.
This shit's over and it got alittle tight today.
Not gonna say it didn't, I meanI didn't see it, I was coaching
(06:25):
and we're walking off the fieldand my dad's like dude, scottie
only has a one-shot lead andI'm like I'm sorry, what?
Couldn't believe it.
But then you know, rom gottired because they don't play 72
holes on the live tour and Romfinishes bogey double-double.
(06:50):
And you know scotty bogey the72nd hole wins by five.
But I don't even want to talkabout that, don't even need to
get into it.
You know stat of the day.
You ready?
This is amazing.
I saw this earlier.
I had to do a screenshot.
Okay, the pga championship wasplayed at quail hollow, which is
in the state of north carolina,in charlotte.
Okay, charlotte is the home ofthe carolina panthers.
Okay, wins since 2022 carolinapanthers 14, scotty scheffler 15
(07:18):
.
Is that any good?
I mean, it's kind ofbreathtaking, right?
I?
you know, it's hard to to saysomething about that.
Graham (07:34):
I know no, it's just.
I've just been thinking a lotabout recently how people are, I
wouldn't say comparing, butkind of just like holding him up
to the light, like, oh,remember when Tiger was dominant
and he was number one player inthe world and his 2000 season
(07:57):
versus Scottie's you know seasonlast year, it's just like you
know.
There there's certain thingswhere it's just like, yeah,
tiger definitely dominated,hands down greatest season on
tour ever, the 2000 season, likeI get that.
You know, it's funny.
I was watching something onlinejust to reiterate something
(08:18):
Tiger won nine times right times.
Right.
He only played in 16.
He played, no, he played in 16events.
Scott (08:31):
The one or 17 events the ones he didn't finish in seven
of them he still finished in thetop 10 I love that you're
bringing this up, okay, becausesomething I saw what after the
dub, I was like wow, and that is.
After the dub, I was like wow,and that is I love that you're
bringing up the Tiger versus.
Scottie thing.
Shortest span between first winand 15th PGA Tour win Tiger
(09:03):
Woods three years, 32 days.
Jack Nicklaus three years, 32days.
Jack Nicklaus Three years, 45days.
Scotty Scheffler Three years,92 days.
Wow, that shows you what we'refucking dealing with right now.
Yeah, I'm so late, wrong, andby no means am I even saying
that Scotty is Tiger or JackRight.
(09:26):
I'm just saying what we'vegotten to see is historic Facts.
I mean, listen to this shit,dude, listen to this shit, go
ahead.
Last four seasons 82 starts, 82.
45 top fives wins, three majors, two players, championships,
(09:50):
one gold medal in the olympics,four missed cuts, 75 million and
winnings.
Take the money out of it,because the money's obviously
way different than it was.
Yeah right and 141 weeks atworld number one.
Graham (10:10):
You know, we'll never know, but just to imagine those
two playing in their primestogether, it's just.
The thing is, there's parts ofScotty's game that it's just
like I mean folks, if you don'tknow, if you've been listening
to the show long enough, you,Scott and I but me personally,
(10:31):
Tiger Woods is my hands-downfavorite Like it's not even
close, Like I love the duderight.
There's parts of Scotty's gamethat are just I don't want to
say comfortable, but it's justlike the way he goes about it.
(10:51):
Like Tiger was just soaggressive but what made him so
good was, even if he hit it allover the world, his second shot.
Or like his approach to thegreen and then just his manner
around the green and like how Iguess the stat is the scoring
stat would be the right term forthat.
It's just like scotty keeps itin play.
(11:12):
It's it's not like he's nothitting it all over the place,
he's just like all right, I'mgonna hit fairways.
Today I'm gonna hit on the green.
Scott (11:20):
He hit 13 or 14 fairways yesterday.
That's what I'm saying Then thenews comes out tonight and we
never heard about it because allwe heard about was Rory and his
driver being nonconforming, andhe found out Tuesday.
Then it comes out tonight thatScotty's driver was
nonconforming too.
That's crazy, dude.
I listened to the PGA TourSirius radio on the way to work
(11:46):
on Thursday.
Listen to the marquee group teeoff.
They teed off the back.
Nine Scotty makes bogey, ormakes par on 10, makes bogey on
11.
And he, looking pretty shady,zips in on 12.
Okay, the guy's short game isinsane.
Oh yeah, and like, like I toldyou yesterday when I texted you
(12:09):
oh shit, the putter's on fire,this shit's over yeah, it's,
it's dude.
Graham (12:19):
I mean it's like one or the other.
I, I mean I'd still take, likeI mean when Tiger was on, like
you're not, I mean you're notstopping the guy yeah, clutch
putts from five feet if yourlife depended on it.
Scott (12:34):
You know you're taking Jack, you're taking Tiger.
Graham (12:37):
Oh yeah.
Scott (12:39):
Third is it Scotty?
Graham (12:42):
Yeah, but granted a longer body of work.
But there's just so many puttsthat a fan of golf could be like
.
Oh, I remember Tiger atArnold's Place, tiger at
Sawgrass, tiger at the Masters.
I mean there's just so manyputts that he had to make just
to A force a playoff like the USOpen.
Scott (13:06):
With a broken leg.
Yeah With a broken leg.
Yeah With a broken leg.
Graham (13:09):
Exactly Like there's just so many putts that you're
just like oh, you know.
Steve Williams said that he'sjust like Tiger just had that
confidence.
Where it's just like when thecaddy says to the interviewer
like oh, I just knew he wasgoing to make it, like there's
just no doubt in my mind thathe's not going to perform and
(13:29):
like to say that about someonelike it's just mind-boggling Can
we talk about Ted Scott hiscaddy.
Yeah.
Scott (13:42):
That literally leaves Bubba.
Bubba Watson of, yeah, twogreen jackets goes over to
scotty.
And the crazy thing about thisis I heard the story today or
this week on a podcast whenscotty called ted scott.
Like ted scott was already donewith bubba and ted told him he
(14:03):
goes look if we're, if I'mcoming to work for you, we're
doing it the right way.
I need you to be even keel.
Yeah, I'm going to haveattitude, ted Scott, two green
jackets with Scotty, two withBubba now a PGA.
Yeah dude, and let's the coolestthing for me as a PGA yeah,
(14:25):
dude, and let's the coolestthing for me as a PGA member.
As a golf professional, scottyhas been working with the same
coach since he was 13 years oldand that's Randy Smith, who is a
PGA member at Royal OaksCountry Club in Dallas.
Amazing To me, absolutelyamazing.
(14:48):
They were interviewing himafter and you know what do you
say?
You've known Homeboy since hewas 13.
You've been giving him lessonsand been with him.
And you know something I wastelling my dad that I didn't
realize Colt Nost, you know,everybody knows Colt Nost, one
of the US Amateur, does a subparpodcast.
Now he works for CBS.
(15:09):
Dude, colt Nost has known Scottyforever, right, and he said
Scotty would just come out atRoyal Oaks Country Club in
Dallas and watch and watch allthe big boys, and Colt's been
there with him.
And he said the hardest thingwhen Scottie didn't contention
and Colt is doing the broadcaston CBS is not showing favoritism
(15:33):
, right, you know, because theycan't do it, but it's an amazing
story because the guy didn'thave this amazing junior career.
You know, you played his assoff at University of Texas.
He had to go to the Corn FairyTour, yeah Right.
And I mean some people say hecame out of nowhere.
(15:55):
But this dude, he won inPhoenix his first win at the
Waste Management.
And then he's like, hey,everybody hold my beer.
And, like Colt Nose said, thething that gave him the most
confidence didn't even realizethis was being a captain's pick
for the Ryder Cup when wedominated Whistling Straits.
(16:17):
And on Sunday, when wedominated at Whistling Straits,
and then on Sunday gettingpaired up in singles matches
against ROM, and he dominatedROM and Colton.
This was like that was the end.
He believed in himself.
He got the captain's pick,dominated ROM, the end.
Yeah, where are we now?
(16:39):
Yeah, I mean, everybody waslike, can you win another major?
You know, his first two hadgreen jackets involved.
Today he gets the Wanamakertrophy and breaks it when he
picks it up.
Graham (16:52):
Yeah, I saw that.
Scott (16:53):
Literally Same as Colin Morikawa, you know, picks it up,
the top falls off.
Well, this time this goddamnthing got bent.
Whoops yeah, but dude so sick.
Whoops yeah, but dude so sick.
I mean, I don't know.
Graham (17:13):
It's funny we may have mentioned it, but For all the
people out there that think thatCaddies are people that just
carry the bags and get thedivots and rank the bunkers,
it's not Even that that.
Caddies are people that justcarry the bags and, you know,
get the divots and rank thebunkers.
Announcer (17:28):
It's not even that.
Scott (17:28):
No, that's the farthest from the truth, not even close.
Graham (17:30):
Most people don't even realize that caddies are players
that wanted to make itthemselves, and just Some are
Some are Some, but I meanthere's like there's strengths
out there, dude, oh for sure.
Scott (18:00):
Where the bad shot is hit , where you, you have to be
behind your guy and say, eventhough you don't believe it's
the right club, I like it, let'sgo.
You know, it ain't like it usedto be, where all you're doing
is grabbing the bag and walkingwith it, oh for sure yeah.
(18:21):
Especially when I know twoworld-class caddies out there
that have made a career and ashit ton of money carrying golf
bags.
Announcer (18:32):
Yeah.
Scott (18:34):
Tuesday morning on Augusta last year, fowler ain't
playing his practice until 1o'clock.
Where am I and Romano on the10th seed?
Romano's?
Out there walking hole by holeby hole, getting yardages
confirming everything that shitpeople don't know oh, 100, I
(18:56):
mean, look they don't they gottarealize it.
Graham (19:01):
It's great for the player, but they're like the
caddies' help and advice andsecurity is there for the player
and then, in return, if theplayer plays well, then that's
where he gets his beat.
It's like, how do I say this?
It's a team, yeah, it's a totalteam effort.
(19:22):
It's a team and those peopleit's not like, oh, one person's
doing all the work, you knowwhat I mean?
Like people don't realize thework that goes out there of the
caddy, where it's just likewhere they have to map the golf
course, like, yeah, they haveyardage books, but that doesn't
mean anything.
Like the caddies know.
Like, all right, if we're gonnahit it over here, what are our
shots gonna be from from doingthis?
If we're're going to hit itover here, what is this?
(19:43):
What's the angle of the slope?
Doing this over here?
What's the best plan of attack?
Because a lot of regulargolfers are not good enough to
understand, maybe not understandthe concept, but it's just like
.
Scott (19:54):
Hey, you said a lot of regular golfers.
Let's just say 99.5% of peoplethat play the game.
All they want to do is makecontact and get the ball
airborne, right or advance itexactly and aka hit.
Graham (20:10):
The green professionals are not like oh, let's just get
it on the green, it's where?
Do I want to leave the ball onthe green, specifically to leave
me a shot.
That for the best chance for ashot, you know, for a, for a
birdie or whatsoever.
It's just like there's so muchthat goes into it that I feel
like it gets overlooked.
And you know when you're in it,you know and it's just things
(20:33):
people should know, dude,something I'm very disappointed.
Scott (20:37):
I don't have the stat of right now and I think I know the
stat, but I'm just going tothrow it out there.
Last week, you know, becauseit's the PGA Championship, there
were 20 club pros like myselfthat got to play in this event
and I think I threw out theretwo club pros would make the cut
.
I think that's what I said andI don't know if anybody did, but
(21:03):
I remember you asking me if acertain individual was going to
make the cut and I said no andhe did not make the cut, and
that's Michael Bach.
Did you see what he said, dude,friday afternoon, after he
missed the cut and shot like 82,83?
Did you see his quote?
Announcer (21:28):
Yeah.
Graham (21:29):
I mean refresh my memory please.
Scott (21:32):
Dude literally says after shooting 82 on Friday, Michael
Block told golfcom that thesmaller crowd size is his poor
performance on missing the cut.
That's kind of the funny part.
I wish there was a huge crowdon every single hole because
that's when I hit my shots.
(21:52):
When there's no one around,that's when I hit my worst shots
I'm just gonna yeah, I mean Idon't know.
I I mean when you told me thatwhen it first came out, I was
like wait what?
Graham (22:04):
Yeah, I mean RIP, I mean when you told me that when it
first came out, I was like waitwhat?
Scott (22:09):
Like he I mean I know there's been other people that
have been giving him his flowersOn other podcast shows Dude
people that have had him ontheir shows after he did what he
did at Oak Hill two years agowere blasting him Like shut up.
(22:35):
My point is how many times havewe referenced him, like after
the fact, just within this pastyear, I mean within the last,
how many episodes, like I just Imean, dude, remember after the
event was over and he went outand said if I could hit it as
far as Rory, I'd be a top 10player in the world and people
(22:59):
gave him shit for that.
Graham (23:01):
Yeah, but okay, I'm okay with that saying what he just
said the other day.
Scott (23:11):
I mean you can't get behind that I know him
personally and reading thecomments after he said it, I was
just like dude.
Why, why, why.
Graham (23:25):
I'm like was this out of context?
Hopefully, please.
Scott (23:29):
Like just dip it, dude, you know, god bless America.
Like who would say that.
You left Nike to go to goodgood and you know Nike was
paying him a shit ton of money.
He's an amazing guy.
What he's done for club prosand what he does is amazing.
And he just pissed on his foot.
Announcer (23:52):
Oh.
Scott (23:54):
I, one of my favorite bands ever, incubus, one of
their lyrics in their song toresist is to piss in the wind.
Dude, you just pissed in thewind.
I and people are over it.
They're like all right, you're15 minutes of fame shut up and
(24:16):
he's a better person than that.
That's the thing, you know.
That's what I don't know, dude.
Dustin Johnson is his careerover.
I mean one of the easiest.
Well, one of the two bets Imade this week that actually won
was him to miss the cut.
(24:37):
Never, even in doubt, did youever sweat that.
Graham (24:44):
No.
Announcer (24:45):
Maybe as you hit submit.
Graham (24:47):
Did you ever sweat that?
No, but to be fair, the amountof people in the World Golf
Ranking, in the top 20, thatmissed the cut, or let alone
even the top 50, I mean therewas a lot of really good players
that missed it.
I mean not that I'm that'stomato-tomato over here, I mean
apples and oranges.
It's not the same thing here.
I'm that's tomato, tomato overhere, I mean apples and oranges.
It's not the same thing hereI'm just saying, um, yeah, I
(25:08):
mean he's dude, it's like he's,it's like he's a club pro.
Now he's just out there to havefun, he's toast.
Yeah.
Scott (25:17):
He's getting paid Chilling, go home to those
hammers, I mean like we weretalking on the right.
He'd won two majors, remember.
He won at Oakmont and he won atAugusta.
Announcer (25:32):
Yeah.
Scott (25:33):
It's not like he's a slouch.
Graham (25:37):
And he should have won at.
Scott (25:40):
Whistling Straits when the happy cows in Wisconsin were
saying that the bunker was abunker and not a waste area.
Graham (25:47):
Yeah.
So I mean, how old is he now?
Is he upper 30s?
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I don't think he's in his.
Is he 40 yet?
Scott (25:59):
I'm going to look it up.
I'm going to look it up asyou're asking.
Graham (26:02):
I don't know.
Scott (26:02):
Let's see Dustin Johnson.
He is about 40.
Graham (26:14):
Yeah, I don't know, just guess what?
In 10 years we'll see him onthe senior tour yeah, I don't
know dude, I mean like god blessamerica the guy.
Scott (26:30):
He had so much talent, dude, when he came out and um
not saying he doesn't still he?
Graham (26:39):
he was the number one player in the world for a little
while.
I mean he wasn't a slouch, it'sjust.
I mean, look at 40, it's hardto compete at that high of a
level.
Also, he is on the other tour.
He only plays in the majors.
So I mean it's just.
(26:59):
I mean obviously the fire'sstill there.
I mean I'm sure he wants to dobetter.
Scott (27:03):
He definitely wants.
Graham (27:04):
Yeah, 100%, I just.
Scott (27:10):
Yeah, I just sent you that on IG.
That was posted three hours ago.
Since we're talking about thetopic, I mean it's that time of
the week, a hot chick of theweek, goodness gracious, paulina
three hours ago threw aninstagram post out there.
Graham (27:29):
If you don't know, now you know but wait, hold on what
does he wait what?
What did Bryson just say?
Scott (27:39):
Bryson said he needs a new golf ball.
Graham (27:42):
I'm reading this right now folks.
Bryson DeChambeau says he needsto find a golf ball that will
fly straighter and says it willbe up to manufacturing on
whether he can address this needbefore the US Open.
What Well, here before the USOpen, what.
Scott (28:02):
Well, here's the thing dude Golf balls now versus 15,
20 years ago.
Okay, 15, 20 years ago the golfball would spin a lot more and
the game was played with curves.
Okay, okay, a lot morecurvature.
The golf ball now doesn't spinas much as it used to.
(28:23):
The game of golf now is playedhit it high, landed, soft, right
.
There's not a lot of shotmaking involved in golf anymore,
Not saying dudes, don't curveit.
We just witnessed it in Augustawith maybe the best shot we've
ever seen in Augusta, from Roryhooking that seven iron on 15.
Okay, around the trees, one ofthe best shots we've ever seen
in Augusta, arguably.
(28:44):
But you know I'm going to sayBubba, same, so I get.
The thing is the speed thatBryson had the ball come off the
face.
It's hard to manufacture agoddamn golf ball that can do
(29:04):
that.
Yeah, when Bryson found his wayon tour he was playing a
Bridgestone golf ball.
When Bryson won the US Openlast year at Pinehurst he played
a Pro-V left dash X Left dashdidn't spin as much and arguably
(29:26):
the best golf ball out there.
I don't know if he's stillplaying it.
I have no idea.
All I know is Bryson's gamedependent on controlling the
golf ball.
We all know how far the goddamnguy hits it.
I mean, for shit sakes.
I think Friday on 16, a525-yard par 4, he had wedge in.
Graham (29:53):
To be fair, folks, he hits his wedge like 180.
Scott (29:58):
Well, that's because all the clubs are the same.
God dang length, but that wasan issue for him.
Graham (30:04):
Uh, this weekend, dude I don't know.
Scott (30:09):
I mean we could sit here and make this entire episode
about the pga championship,because there's so many stories
that we could talk about, but wedon't need to do that.
I'm just going to say it was afun tournament.
A lot of dudes missed the cutthat we thought were going to
play well, and Rory was kind ofa non-factor, right I mean.
Graham (30:34):
Rory, Justin, Thomas Shoffley, I mean at least.
Scott (30:38):
Rory and Shoffley made the cut.
Jt didn't Ludvig?
Ludvig missed cut.
No, I'm not saying that aboutour picks, I'm just saying no.
Graham (30:49):
I know.
But, I'm just saying, oh golf,clap to making the cut.
I mean yo guys your favorite'sover here.
Scott (30:56):
I mean, dude, when I'm literally watching the pregame
coverage and the leaders tee offat two 40 and I'm watching Rory
and softly at 11 am On the golfcourse, yeah, it's weird.
Graham (31:14):
It's like you turn on the coverage and they're already
on whole nine and you're likeWhoa they're got one foot out
the goddamn door.
Speaking of one foot out thedoor, the best thing I saw this
week was Brooks Koepka at theconvenience store with that
30-pack in hand of that MillerLite.
Scott (31:35):
So I've seen the picture too.
I've seen it multiple timesfrom multiple different
platforms.
I was talking to billy about itlast night.
Was that really him?
You don't think that looksexactly it looked exactly like
him, but if you zoom in, if youzoom in, it's like but the best
thing I saw from kepka this weekwas him yelling at the fan.
Graham (32:00):
Oh 100%.
Scott (32:01):
Come down here and say it to me Like oh damn, oh damn
folks.
Graham (32:08):
If there's one person you don't want to mess with,
he's one of those dudes like hey, it's the mess around and find
out.
I mean, he's a big boy, oh,solid, solid boy.
Scott (32:24):
But I mean dude, just before we change topics, I just
gotta throw this out there.
I absolutely loved the factthat keegan bradley finished in
the top 10.
Yeah, because this is going tobe a topic that a lot of people
are going to start to talk about.
Graham (32:45):
Yeah, because we know Keegan Bradley is what the
captain for the Ryder Cup and hehas some choices to make.
Scott (32:58):
And he came out and already said it he will not make
himself a captain's pick.
The only way he'll play on theteam is if he qualifies Dude.
Graham (33:08):
Look, is that the right thing to say yes, after him
getting snubbed last time?
Scott (33:19):
He ain't picking himself.
He's not going to pick himself,but if he just misses it.
Graham (33:24):
So is it the top six American golfers in their rank.
Scott (33:28):
I think it's six and then six, six and six.
Graham (33:31):
So six man He'd have to be.
I mean the top ten rankings,aren't most of them American
anyway?
Scott (33:41):
He'd have to be in the top 10.
As far as Ryder Cup, no, Idon't think he is.
Graham (33:48):
No, oh, there's Ryder Cup stat or rankings already
it's not just whoever the top 10players in the world, it's not
based off the world ranking.
Scott (33:57):
Yeah, here we go.
Ryder Cup standings 2025 teamrankings.
Announcer (34:01):
Yeah.
Scott (34:02):
This was we're gonna.
This was six days ago.
I don't want that bullshit.
I want right.
God dang, now We'll edit thisshit out right now.
Right meow, uh, what day isthis?
As of May, 12th a week ago?
Okay, scotty won.
Scotty Xander, justin ThomasMorikawa, bryson, russell Henley
(34:30):
.
There's the top six.
Your next six in order, andrew.
Graham (34:42):
Novak, maverick McNeely, brian Harmon, patrick Cantley.
Scott (34:44):
JJ Spahn Harris, English.
I'd pick maybe one of thoseguys.
Keegan's 22 as of last week.
Obviously, this is going tochange.
Graham (34:53):
Okay, those second six Be honest.
Scott (35:02):
How many of the second six would you actually want on
the team?
I'm a hundred percent taken.
Cantley Okay, maybe HarrisEnglish, cause he's steady.
Graham (35:15):
I mean, but there's nothing sexy about them.
Scott (35:19):
Hey, have you seen the European squad?
Ain't nothing sexy about it,because they are solid.
Graham (35:36):
Yeah, I know, I just I know it's scary.
I'll tell you one thing whenI'm there, or listen, when we're
there at Bethpage, if I seeBrian Harmon, I'm fucking
throwing a golf ball at him.
If we pick him, I swear to God,I'm going to write a letter.
(35:57):
I'm going to go on every socialmedia platform say Keegan, you
fucked us.
Brian Harmon and Beth Page isthe last person I want.
Scott (36:09):
Yeah, we know that it's a long fucking golf course, but,
dude, I don't know.
All I'm saying is right now,the European team.
But anyhow, this is not 100%about golf.
Let's jump right in real quick.
Wow, you looked like you weregoing to say something.
(36:32):
What are you saying?
Graham (36:32):
No, I'm just trying to think, because Koepka made his
way on last time, so maybe if hewon the US Open, well, bry's
the deal.
Scott (36:41):
Bryson's not in our top six.
He's going to be on the goddamnteam.
Oh yeah, we know that.
Yeah, death taxes and Brysonbeing on the team at Bethpage
Black.
Okay, yeah, actually, no, Isaid he's number five.
Sorry, I did say his name.
Okay, say his name, but I don'tknow, dude, I just it's too
(37:04):
early.
We got a lot of golf left, wegot two more majors, we got the
fedex playoffs and we got allthese three round live tour
events that are non-existent.
You stop with that, but you know, whatever I gotta throw shade
when they're shade, whatever Igot to throw shade when they're
shade Dude.
Stanley Cup playoffs and thematchups are set for the
conference finals.
(37:24):
We got the Stars playing theOilers.
We got the Canes playing thePanthers.
Like I said earlier, the factthat homeboys scored a goal last
night playing in a game the dayhis dad passed away, it was
amazing, and against the Jets.
But something that was evencrazier about that game was 30
(37:48):
seconds left in you knowregulation.
In the third period he had apenalty on the Stars player that
had a breakaway.
That could and should have beena penalty shot.
Slightly Still to this momentdon't understand why it wasn't
called a penalty shot.
So Stars open up overtime on apower play.
(38:12):
Boom.
Stars win Jets.
Here's a fun fact the Jets didnot win one game on the road in
their first two series and theywere the number one seed in the
West.
Not one road game.
Pretty amazing, it's amazing to.
(38:36):
I can't believe it happened,but it is what it is.
Knights won or lost the othernight.
We're not even going to getinto that.
When you don't score a goal infucking your last two games,
it's pretty hard to advance.
Graham (38:52):
Yeah and they had chances.
Scott (38:54):
Oilers dominated the series.
You know when four games won.
But, dude, the Stars are solid,the Oilers are solid.
It's a rematch of last year'swestern conference finals.
Dude, something I gotta saybecause jerry texted me this
morning peter deborah, who wasthe stars head coach okay,
(39:17):
before the stars he was theknights head coach.
Before the Stars, he was theKnights head coach.
Before the Knights, he was theSan Jose Sharks head coach.
He has made the WesternConference Finals six out of the
last seven years and has beenfired twice, you know what we
(39:47):
haven't said in a while.
Graham (39:47):
I know exactly what you're gonna say make it make
sense six out of the last sevenyears bro I mean, he must not be
a good coach.
Scott (40:04):
Dude, that's pretty wild.
I mean, just like wilders.
So now that your team's out ofit, who are you rooting for?
Oh, was that a classic Grahamtext thread with Andy when
something happened in fantasyfootball?
Who are you rooting for?
(40:25):
To be honest, I am rooting foranyone but the Oilers.
Oh no, I don't want anotherCanadian.
I don't want another Canadian.
I don't want a Canadian win.
I want to see thesepoutine-eating, beanie-eyed
(40:50):
people suffer by not winning acup for another year.
Okay, I literally thought thatwas going to change this year
because, Toronto jumped out to a2, two, nothing lead on the
Panthers, yeah, okay.
And then the Panthers are like,yeah, we're defending cup
champions, hold my beer Headinginto tonight.
(41:13):
The last four game sevens withToronto playing.
They've lost them all Lost five, one lost two to one, lost
three to one, lost five-1, lost5-1, and tonight I think it was
6-1.
Graham (41:28):
And it was nil-nil after one, that second period, it was
like goal Goal Dude, theyscored three goals in three and
a half minutes.
Announcer (41:38):
Right.
Graham (41:39):
Six minutes.
Scott (41:41):
But still, whatever it felt like three minutes, right,
six minutes, oh, six minutes,but still whatever it felt like
three minutes.
Yeah, I'm like, uh, dude, Imean, who do I think's going to
be playing in the finals?
I think it's going to be arematch of last year.
I think it's going to be theOilers and the Panthers, and
that was an amazing series.
It went seven games.
You know, I I would like to seethe canes beat the panthers.
(42:03):
Don't think it's gonna happen.
Yeah.
I'd like to see the stars beatthe oilers don't think it's
gonna happen.
Yeah.
But I don't know.
I mean going into it literally,you know, I looked at it earlier
.
The series line Panthers areminus 125 playing the Canes.
(42:23):
Canes are plus 105.
Edmonton and Dallas both areminus 110 in the series.
So who knows, dude, it allcomes down to who's a hot goalie
, and I would probably go outthere and say the worst goalie
out of the four remaining teamsis the goalie for edmonton, but
(42:49):
he sure shut the shit out of myvegas knights.
I mean, I don't know, but whoknows, dude?
Nba playoff let's jump right in, dude.
Goodness gracious.
Pacers-knicks, who saw thatshit coming OKC, and the
Timberwolves, who saw that shitcoming OKC, yes.
Graham (43:18):
So much to unpack there.
Let me start when to start.
All right, let's do the OKC.
I thought it was going to be aseries.
Did I think it was going to goto seven games?
No, no chance.
But the thing was two of thefour wins that Oklahoma City had
were 30 plus point wins.
Scott (43:42):
Yeah, after they lost game one, after they lost game
one, after they lost game one,would they win by a game two?
Yeah 40-some-odd A shit ton.
Graham (43:50):
Yeah, and the thing is, OKC should have actually won
game one.
They choked it at the end andthat's why they felt so bad and
they took Denver to school thenext day.
So, I mean, look, denver,starting today, which I was
surprised that they played it atthree east noon west out here I
was like that's an interestingtime to play the game seven.
(44:12):
But regardless of the fact, um,look, denver was actually up 10
in the first quarter and then,as I like like to say, what had
happened was dun dun dun.
Um, yeah, okay, he said hold mybeer.
Uh, we got it from here and itwas pretty much over after
halftime.
You know it.
(44:33):
There wasn't much denver coulddo.
Um, look, they fired theircoach a week and a half before
the playoff started.
They had a nice run with theirassistant.
Um, they still got good qualityplayers.
But the problem with Denver isthey're top heavy.
They got a good starting five,but their players on the bench
(44:59):
you know, but look now, mostteams don't have solid benches.
But I mean, at least you couldhave a couple guys could come
off and give you a spark.
But dallas, not dallas, denverdidn't.
You know?
They relied on yokich, theyrelied on murray, they relied on
uh, gordon, it's just they.
(45:21):
It's like they ran out of gasand plus for the Nuggets were in
two Game 7s.
They were in Game 7 of Round 1and Game 7 of Round 2.
They played so many games withina small period of time and
people, look, I get it.
I know the professionalathletes are like, oh well, they
had two days rest To a normalperson.
(45:44):
Yes, that sounds like a lot Topro athletes, it doesn't so I
mean, I guess it just depends onhow you want to take that.
Rest is important, but you know, the one thing I'll say is this
OKC winning is actually a goodthing for the league One.
(46:05):
They had the best record in theleague, but now all four teams
that are left the two in eachconference championships are all
teams that they have playersthat have not won a ring yet and
all the storylines like theKnicks.
Scott (46:22):
Yes, did you see outside Madison Square Garden?
Announcer (46:26):
the night when they won Was that any good.
Graham (46:29):
Yeah.
Announcer (46:30):
That's what I'm telling you.
Graham (46:32):
When the Knicks are good , the NBA is so much better, so
much better.
Scott (46:39):
So OKC and the Timberwolves?
Obviously, we know OKC is goingto be favored in the series.
Graham (46:51):
What do you think the Moneyline series number is Minus
?
Announcer (46:56):
350?
.
Ding ding, ding, ding ding.
Scott (46:57):
You're pretty damn close Minus 330.
Is that 330?
Yeah, minus 330.
Yeah, minus 330.
Announcer (47:05):
Yeah, let's go.
I didn't look.
Scott (47:06):
OKC has home court right.
Graham (47:08):
Yeah, because they're the number one overall seed.
Scott (47:11):
Alright, what do you think the Knicks-Pacers money
line series is?
I think I told you this theother night.
Graham (47:18):
You did.
Did you say the Pacers arefavored?
No, the Knicks.
It's not by much.
It's Knicks or minus 145.
Yeah, it was like Plus 125.
Dude that series.
I could honestly Could coinflip it.
It's all about momentum,although I'll give it to the
(47:41):
Pacers They've been playingreally well in this playoffs.
They've been playing welltogether.
Scott (47:46):
The Knicks have been playing well, they've got
momentum.
Obviously, the Knicks had luckon their side with Homeboy going
out.
Graham (47:54):
Oh 100%.
Scott (47:56):
You know, but, the Knicks did lose.
They were clutch.
Graham (48:01):
They lost game six in Boston, handedly, might I add.
So I mean the fact that they orgame five.
Announcer (48:08):
I'm sorry, game five Game five and then game six.
Graham (48:10):
they took care of business, I mean, but to be fair
, that game six that they won athome the Celtics.
Scott (48:20):
That shit was over.
Graham (48:21):
That shit was over before it started not only could
they not make a bucket, theylooked like they've never played
together like there was nochemistry, I mean I get that but
give a shit meter was you loseyour best player, you know yes,
(48:43):
but the thing is they have.
They showed a stat games playedwithout jason tatum.
They were like 10 and 2.
It's like, it's not like, oh,you lose your best player and
you know you're 300 winpercentage, like they were 800,
it's, it's.
(49:04):
It was just amazing how thatseries went.
I'm I I really, like I said, Ithink it's going to be a coin
flip.
Coming out the east, I'mrooting for the knicks but, to
be perfectly honest with you, Idon't think either team has a
chance against whoever comes outthe west I really just getting
ready to say against whoevercomes out the West?
Scott (49:23):
I really don't.
I was just getting ready to saythat Whoever comes out of the
West is winning it.
Graham (49:25):
Yeah, I don't.
And the thing is, with thatbeing said, I don't know what's
a better story, if OKC wins orif Minnesota wins.
I mean, I'll just say this Ithink I'm going to have to root
for OKC, just so we don't haveto hear someone in our group
text in the San Diego League.
Scott (49:48):
Well you know who I'm rooting for.
Yeah, I mean, I think it wouldbe sick to see the Knicks reach
the finals against whoeverObviously we're saying whoever
comes out of the West Right, butwould it be an amazing story
for NBA basketball if the Knicksended up getting the dub.
Graham (50:09):
Oh bro, so amazing, so stupid, so amazing.
Yeah, without a doubt, new YorkCity hasn't had a sports win in
a hot minute now.
The Mets haven't done anything,the Yankees haven't done
anything, the Giants haven'tdone anything.
Scott (50:28):
The Giants have the most recent championship than any of
them Is that true.
Yeah Well, it's either theGiants or the Yankees.
Graham (50:38):
but I think the Giants have won it.
Announcer (50:41):
No chance.
Scott (50:43):
Giants beat the Yankees, but I think the Giants are one
of them.
No chance.
Announcer (50:47):
Giants beat the Patriots twice.
Yeah, but what?
Graham (50:48):

Announcer (50:50):

Easter eggs in their videos.

Tyreek Hill.

I mean, like I told somebodythe other night, we can't win
god dang super bowls, but by godwe win the fucking schedule

(52:46):
And then it's like sorry,Raiders, you suck, you know.
And then the Steelers thingwhen it's announcing the
Steelers schedule and it showsthe Steelers are we going to
rebuild or are we going toupgrade?
You know it's got Aaron Rodgerssitting, sitting on the bench,
but the best.
Well, there's two.
There's two little easter eggsof the entire schedule release.
(53:08):
When we play the giants I don'tknow if you saw it they show
the giants in their building andthey literally have a picture
of saquon and the eagles jerseyand in the top right, left
portion of the picture Justthrowing shade at the Giants and
Saquon.
But then, dude, the Eagles.
(53:28):
The Eagles say when we'replaying the Eagles, they're
showing the Eagles supposedly attheir Super Bowl parade and all
the players on the field andthe banner across the screen
says Save the Tush, Push Parade.
And it's got Reed Blankenshipand Cooper DeGene on there.
The banner across the screensays Save the Tush Push Parade
and it's got Reed Blankenshipand Cooper DeGene on there.
(53:49):
But then there's a store frontin the middle of Philadelphia
that says Jason Kelsey CellPhone Repair Service.
And if anybody remembers whenKelsey was on college game day
and somebody was being a dick tohim and he grabbed homeboy's
cell phone and smashed it Dude.
When I saw that I lost it Allright.
Graham (54:12):
Can I get a hand check?
Can I get a hand check?
What game was that?
Do you remember?
Scott (54:19):
No, I don't.
But I remember Timberlandchallenged Kelsey, because
Kelsey always wear Timberlandboots, because you know how they
do the field goal try.
They had Kelsey on there.
I do not remember it.
Don't hold on.
Graham (54:33):
I didn't look this up.
It actually popped in my head.
Scott (54:36):
I don't remember it.
I'm just going to go out on alimb.
Shit, shit, shit.
Graham (54:42):
I'll give you a clue Give me a clue it was a Big Ten
game.
Scott (54:49):
Was it Penn State and somebody?
Graham (54:51):
Wow, okay.
Scott (54:53):
And I'm not looking, but Penn State wasn't at home, right
?
No, it was no, they were athome.
Was it Penn State and that teamfrom up north that has a nut as
their mascot?
Announcer (55:11):
was it?
Yes, sir, it was yes, sir thatwas hilarious.
Graham (55:16):
I'll never forget him smashing homeboy's phone people,
if you're gonna be be a dick,it's just going to happen.
Announcer (55:26):
I mean he ain't wrong dude.
I mean look at the dude.
Scott (55:33):
Look at the dude.
Saturday night Was it Fridaynight?
Three or four dudes tried tojump Antonio Brown for his
necklace and dude, did you seethe video?
Antonio Brown for his necklaceand dude, did you see the video?
Antonio Brown was gettingkicked, bro.
Then he pulls out his gun, thenhe gets arrested for almost
(55:53):
murder and then people saw thevideo and then he got released.
Yeah, dude, you don't thinkthere's a phone out in every
situation.
Graham (56:05):
Oh, dude, the amount of people Dude and good old.
Scott (56:09):
Antonio Brown.
He handled himself, dude.
I mean, he was getting kickedand he got out of that situation
and he's like all right, ms,you going to try to steal my
chain?
You?
Graham (56:17):
going to attack me.
You take enough hits in the NFL, I think, a few kicks or not, I
mean, I think that hit fromperfect was what's but shit,
dude.
Scott (56:29):
I mean god bless, uh, anyhow, uh, somebody finally got
signed.
That was, oh, being talkedabout for months and months, and
months.
What's it going to be?
What's going to happen?
Purdy, mr, what do they callhim?
Last pick in the draft.
Graham (56:50):
Relevant yeah.
Scott (56:52):
My boy just got relevant, because he got paid.
Graham (56:56):
I mean, is it safe to say he'll be the highest paid
last pick in the draft ever?
Like I don't think that wouldever get.
Scott (57:06):
Like I don't even think in the future that we'll get
touched and full trade, becausethe only way to make that type
of money would be, you know, notrade clause in the contract.
Graham (57:20):
Look, I'm happy for him.
He deserves it.
I'm aware that the nfl is notwhat you did for me already.
It's what you're gonna do forme.
I get that, but yo, when youtake your team to how many nfc
championships in the first fouryears and a Super Bowl?
Scott (57:41):
Yeah.
Graham (57:45):
And you're making less than a million dollars and the
owner can't, unless the ownerwas secretly breaking him off
money off the side.
Yeah, oh, good job.
All these people are like, ohwell, it's the pieces around him
.
That's why he deserves thatcontract you know, what Kick
rocks, bro, he made plays.
Scott (58:03):
I mean come on.
Graham (58:05):
Yeah, yes, you need studs to be good, like I get
that, but like you gotta makethe plays to get to ball the
ball to them.
You know what I mean.
Like it's not like, oh, it hasto happen.
Yeah, it's not like, oh, youthrew him a swing pass or you
threw him a slant and they tookit to the house.
You know it's not easy.
Shit like that like threw him aswing pass or you threw him a
slant and they took it to thehouse.
You know it's not easy.
Shit like that Like hecommanded the offense and I mean
(58:26):
it helps when you have goodplayers around him.
But I mean, look, the contractwas right.
Was he the top paid player inthe league?
Announcer (58:32):
No, Was he disrespected.
Graham (58:35):
No, his money is like eighth for average per season.
Eighth for average per season,that's fine.
I'm totally fine with that,because the thing is he still
can prove himself.
I mean, he still has a lot ofways to go.
And now it's almost morebeneficial for him to not get
the be the number one paid,because now it's just like look
(58:57):
who you got on your team now and, to be honest, it's still one
of those.
How are the 49ers?
How is their over under?
Scott (59:04):
still 10 and a half like with all those departures yeah,
I mean, they're still thefavorite to win the nfc west
yeah, there's no chance.
Graham (59:17):
I'm taking the rams day 100% All day with that.
I mean it's not even close.
Scott (59:28):
I don't know, man, that's crazy.
That's why they call itgambling right.
Graham (59:34):
Yeah, and not that you know what, not to kick a dead
horse.
But those golf bets folks,sorry, and if it makes you feel
any better, I went one for 11.
So, granted, four of thoselosses were on like individuals
(59:59):
to win it all.
I didn't take Sheffler, so likeit's okay, but you know, jt top
20, jt top 40, straka top 20and then a couple other players
I had.
It's just like, oh yeah, nope,nowhere, close.
Thank you for my 50 bucks thatI got from Dustin Johnson.
Scott (01:00:21):
Thank you, thank you the only two bets I have, one out of
all of them.
Was dj missing the cut and willthere be a hole in one?
Yeah, in the event that's it.
Graham (01:00:34):
And the thing about it is it's.
It's not that I care about thelosses, it's just they weren't
even close, nowhere.
No, like when the cut happenedand you see all the people that
missed the cut.
You're just like what?
Who?
yeah, like jonathan vegas wasthe was the date was winner
(01:00:56):
after round one, round two.
And you're just looking at theleaderboard and you're like
what's going on right now whichis also why they call Saturday
moving day Folks completelydifferent golf.
What was going on the first twodays compared to what happened
to yesterday and today?
You're just like are wewatching the same golf
tournament?
Scott (01:01:17):
Dude, and then Bryson yesterday he had it on fire Up
there.
And then Bryson.
Bryson, yesterday he had it onfire, yeah, up there, and then
he just goes.
Graham (01:01:26):
Yeah, Well, I mean hitting it with the water on 17
didn't help yesterday.
Scott (01:01:30):
Let's don't take anything away.
Quail Hollow, obviously anamazing property.
Graham (01:01:37):
Yeah.
Scott (01:01:38):
I mean it's now hosted two PGA championships and a
President's Cup.
There's a reason they keepgoing back there.
Graham (01:01:47):
No, for sure.
Scott (01:01:48):
You know they call it the longest.
What do they call it?
The last three holes?
The Green Mile, too Insane.
Holes 16, 17, 18, insane, butGraham's second major in the
books.
You know my bet out there isstill out there with Rory, over
(01:02:11):
one and a half majors as we turnthe chapter.
The hardest venue on earth isup next.
Graham (01:02:19):
That being said, right now is the final score below par
.
No, I knew you were going tosay that.
I just wanted to get it outthere, absolutely fucking not.
Scott (01:02:34):
No chance.
Graham (01:02:38):
So plus two is going to win it, Plus three If we're
lucky.
Scott (01:02:43):
You didn't ask me that, you just said is it on the board
?
Graham (01:02:45):
No, I know, I know, I know, but like it's.
Scott (01:02:49):
No chance, no chance.
I'm just going to go out thereright now and say, if conditions
are how the USGA and Oakmontwant it to be, when rain doesn't
you know't soften up the golfcourse, this US Open is going to
be electric because it's goingto bring so many people into the
(01:03:14):
mix.
If it's soft, it's going tobring the long hitters into the
mix.
If it's firm, fast, it's goingto bring the long hitters in the
mix.
If it's firm, fast and full ofgas, like we're hoping, fairways
are going to be a premium andI'm just going to go out there
right now and I'm going to sayit Zane Lowry is who I'm
watching going into OakmontBecause why he hits fairways.
Graham (01:03:41):
Kind of important.
Scott (01:03:43):
Dude, because that place is.
I've played it Ooh.
Graham (01:03:48):
Yeah, did you play it with Six Inch Rough?
Scott (01:03:53):
Dude.
It's the one place on Earthwhere they say they slow the
goddamn greens down for the USOpen compared to member play.
Graham (01:04:01):
That's insane.
Think about that, so.
So what regular member play?
What are they rolling Like a 16.
Dude the head pro.
Scott (01:04:12):
Dylan G G, however you say it, when they do their club
championship in October, whenthe heat's done, it goes to, our
greens will be 15 and a half.
Graham (01:04:21):
That's insane.
Scott (01:04:23):
And you know what the members love it.
Graham (01:04:27):
Oh well, I mean, they're used to it.
Scott (01:04:30):
