Scott's birthday celebration sets the tone for this sports-packed episode as we ride the emotional rollercoaster of fatherhood, fandom, and friendship through the lens of sports.
The celebration begins with Scott's recap of coaching his son Kellen's flag football team to a dominant 38-16 victory in their season opener. The pure joy in his voice captures that special father-son bond that only sports can create—turning a simple youth league game into a memory that will last a lifetime. From Shane's opening touchdown to Kellen's run-pass option score, every detail comes alive through proud-dad storytelling.
Hockey takes center stage as we dissect the Vegas Knights' miraculous last-second victory over the Edmonton Oilers. With just 0.4 seconds remaining, they pulled off the impossible, shifting momentum in a series that seemed lost. The passion in our breakdown reveals why the Stanley Cup playoffs remain unmatched in sports drama, with fifteen overtime games already showcasing the incredible intensity of postseason hockey.
Golf enthusiasts will appreciate our deep dive into PGA Championship predictions. Graham backs Justin Thomas given his previous success at Quail Hollow and recent consistent form, while Scott puts his money on Xander Schauffele with Shane Lowry as his value longshot. We even tackle the unique angle of PGA club pros competing alongside the world's best, boldly predicting exactly two will make the cut this year.
The NBA playoff landscape gets thorough examination too, from the Pacers' surprising 3-1 lead over Cleveland to the Knicks stealing games from Boston. We analyze how injuries—particularly Steph Curry's absence for Golden State—are reshaping championship odds and potential matchups.

It's been a long time coming,bro, like we were supposed to
start our season Master Sunday.
Damn yeah and that's a month agothere was an issue with the
vendors, with the jerseys, andthen opening day was supposed to
be last week and it was raining, so it got canceled.
(05:19):
So finally we got to play agame today.
And you, it was the first timeI got to meet my assistant coach
, who I talked about on herebefore, and we got a guru.
Bro, my guy played safety incollege, knows defense, you know
.
Had the boys we only have anhour to practice before the game
(05:41):
had the boys on defense, youknow, learning their
responsibilities and wherethey're supposed to be in this
and that, well, we get the ballfirst.
We were the away team.
They won the toss.
They deferred boy, theyprobably shouldn't have done
that.
Let me just tell you.
(06:02):
First play of the game.
First play of the game.
Okay To the house.
My boy, shane, grabs one CuttyFirst play.
First play, thanks for playing.
Hold them three and out we getthe ball.
They punt.
You know we talked about the runpass option on the episodes
(06:24):
before, about how Kellen's goingto be the running back.
Well, second play on offensefor us.
Kellen gets the handoff runpass options there.
Pumps to the right, he gone.
Tutty, it's 14 to nothing.
We've ran two plays Damn, it's14 to nothing.
(06:45):
We've ran two plays, damn.
And all I can think about islast night, when I was on the
phone with Graham I may or maynot have over served myself and
Graham was like, all right, youkeep talking to the offense and
this and that you're putting therun pass option in there.
Don't even come at me unlessyou score 30.
And I'm like that was mymotivation.
And I'm like that was mymotivation and I'm like, all
(07:09):
right, you bald-headed, I gotyour 30.
So what'd we do?
Threw up 38.
Let's go, let's go, let's go1-0.
1-38-16.
Dude, I'm just going to saythis right now If there was ever
a chance for us to win thewhole thing, it's now.
Yeah, I got a dude on defensethat knows what the hell he's
(07:34):
doing.
It's, it's sick, it's amazing.
The other team did listen tothis shit.
So the rules of the league theboys aren't allowed to have
pockets on their shorts makessense, right?
Because it's flag football andyou're pulling going to pull for
a flag, your hand gets stuck intheir pocket, you break your
wrist.
Get it okay.
So it's 22 to 6, one minutebefore halftime, and a parent on
(08:03):
the other team is bitter Betty,because we're laying out to
them, and she's like oh, referee, that kid has a pocket on his
shorts.
Wait, is that the reason yourteam's getting boat raced?
Because my guy has a pocket?
(08:23):
It's 22 to 10.
Oh, they're kicking the shitout of usaced because my guy has
a pocket.
It's 22 to 10.
Oh, they're kicking the shitout of us Cause homeboys got a
pocket.
Well then, come and find outthree of our chainside pockets
and they had to run over to theheadquarters for the league and
put duct tape on their goddamnshorts One minute before
halftime, like you're justlooking for a reason that your
(08:46):
team sucks and is unathletic andyou're getting boat raced by a
guru who?
A defensive guru, but anyhow,it was amazing.
Kellen had a blast, I had ablast.
Obviously it was a fun firstgame of the year.
Then we all went out to dinnerfor Mother's Day my dad and mom
(09:07):
and Kristen's mom and dad.
Then we're here, we're back,it's time.
It's bald guys on the bench.
Weekend wrap-up is complete.
I don't even know where tostart.
I mean, I think I'm going tostart off.
Let's jump real quick into theStanley Cup playoffs.
We got some series dude.
(09:29):
Not only that, but somethingthat is amazing to me I think
through Thursday night, we'vehad 15 games go to overtime so
far in the first and secondround.
Graham (09:44):
That's insane.
Scott (09:47):
That's wild dude, wild, wild, wild shit.
But you know, last week I wasthrowing shade at the NBA and
how shitty their playoffs areand this and that and the
blowouts.
I'm going to eat a little crowbecause there's been some
amazing endings of games in theNBA.
(10:07):
Yeah, and not if you're aCeltics fan.
Announcer (10:12):
But we'll get into that.
Scott (10:15):
I mean geez Louise, but you know the NBA playoffs have
there's been their share ofblowouts, but there were a
couple of games early in roundtwo that you were like did that
just happen?
Graham (10:30):
What.
Scott (10:32):
Yeah, pretty amazing.
But anyhow, stanley cupplayoffs.
Dude, I'm just going to jumpright in.
Everybody knows I'm a Knightsfan.
The Knights lost game one whenyou're up, two to nothing.
Then game two, that wasthursday night, wasn't it when I
(10:53):
went to overtime?
Yeah, yeah, because we startedtuesday, it's tuesday, thursday.
Yeah, dude, we're up, we'redown two goals going into the
third period.
I'm like all right, we're done,we're going to lose both home
games.
Then we tie it, take the gameto overtime.
I'm losing my mind.
(11:14):
It's in overtime.
10, 11 minutes left in overtime.
Nick Wobb does the dumbestthing I've ever seen him do in
my life and cross-checks homeboyto the face.
The guy's been an amazingplayer his whole career, never
done anything stupid.
Now we're going on a power playkill, a five-minute major
(11:35):
against the team.
That is the best power playunit in the NHL.
I'm like this shit's over.
Graham (11:45):
Thanks wall and hey he was sticking up for his goalie?
Scott (11:50):
no, that wasn't that, that was.
That was a whole different.
That was white filed in thevanderkeen.
Was the dude that?
No wall?
I thought that was checked.
Homeboy in the face oh, Ithought he, that was in overtime
oh, I thought he did that whenhe was on the ground.
Graham (12:04):
Oh, my apologies.
Scott (12:06):
We kill a five minute major.
We have the momentum, thecrowd's going apeshit, okay.
And then McNabb is going aftera puck and the oiler guy
blatantly trips him into theboard.
Should have been a penalty.
Nothing called.
(12:27):
30 seconds later, right side,I'll meet, david.
Thanks for playing.
You ain't going to stop thatthey win, dude.
It's not me as a fan, because Iwas bitter Betty.
Obviously it's bullshit.
I was bitter Betty.
Obviously it's bullshit.
But all the media, all thehockey guys, nhl radio on Sirius
(12:50):
the next morning on the way towork, it's just bullshit,
bullshit, bullshit.
His stick was between his legs.
Am I saying we would have wonin overtime if that was a power
play?
Absolutely not.
Graham (13:04):
I'm just saying right, it was bullshit I mean it's kind
of sounding like you know thenfl, where you can't throw a
challenge flag on certain plays.
Scott (13:20):
That don't happen, happen the only time you know what I'm
saying reviewed as if it's amajor.
And that's because of when theknights got effed in the butt
raw against the sharks, whencody eakin got called, when it
was a five minute major on himbecause some sharks guy doesn't
(13:43):
know how to skate and the theSharks came back and won, so
they changed the rule because ofthat.
But anyhow, whatever we takethe ass beating, we're down two
games to nothing at home, goinginto America's top hat, canada.
And now we're down McNabb.
Then Nicholas Wall has ahearing with the NHL to see if
(14:06):
he's going to be suspended andwe're like, oh great, we're down
McNabb because of the trippingand his injury into the boards.
And now Wall is going to getsuspended.
Like there was no doubt in mymind that Wall was getting
suspended.
Comes out Friday, not suspended, because it was his first
offense.
Only fine, whatever, not a lotof money.
(14:31):
Then the game last night.
You know, I've got everybodyover here at my house and game
kicks, starts off a little later.
We're down two to nothing.
Dude in, like the first nineminutes.
I'm like well, whatever, it'syour birthday, have a good time.
You know, don't even thinkabout it.
It is what it is, don't let itruin the night.
And bada, bing, bada boom, wetie it up.
We score two goals in like 54seconds and I'm like, okay,
(14:55):
let's go.
Baby hello, dude, anyhow, we'reup a goal, dude, with four
minutes left and the america'stop hat team, the oiler, score
goal to tie it.
And I'm like, oh, dude, we'reabout to go to overtime.
I'm literally watching it on tvfrom the front porch as
johnny's waiting for his uberand I'm like, bro, I gotta go
(15:18):
inside.
There's three minutes left.
He's like, go, dude, dude, Iget it.
Go, go, go, dude.
Graham (15:26):
You're a friend, I can't believe you gave him that much.
Scott (15:29):
Three minutes left I'd have been like please, the only
score, dude, was 0.4 secondsleft.
And the crazy thing was, whenit's happening live, you
couldn't even really see it goin because as it went in and
came out it hit the camera inthe back of the net.
It ricocheted out so fast,right, and they, they had to
(15:52):
review it.
And all the nights players arelike going nuts and I'm like
kristin, if they're going nutslike that, this shit's a good
goal.
And obviously they reviewed itand you were seeing it and it
was clearly in the net.
Let's go.
Pickard, the Oilers goalie thatgot hot against the Kings, got
hot against us, won six games ina row.
(16:13):
He got injured Thursday nightwhen Thomas Hertel fell on him
and he didn't start.
Last night.
The Knights, literally in thecareer of Skinner being in the
net for the Oilers, the Knightshave a four-goal-per-game
average against them and I'mlike, let's go, we got the dub,
we had to do what we had to do.
(16:33):
We had to get that win Numberone.
Like I was telling Jerry andTyler and maybe you, I didn't
want to see my boys geteliminated on my birthday.
So at least I escaped that.
Okay, I escaped that.
We gotta, we gotta.
We got a tough hill to climb.
But guess what?
(16:53):
It was announced today pickersout, tomorrow, skinner's back,
baby.
But it but it sucks With thewin.
Stone got hurt.
Everybody stepped up Wild, billCarlson, jiminy Crickets, dude,
insane game yesterday.
(17:14):
One of the best games of hiscareer, maybe ever, but it was
insane.
Guy stepped up.
We got our number one goalscorer back.
He hadn't been in the game intwo weeks.
Pavel Dorfov he came back lastnight.
That was huge, but anyhow, dude.
Graham (17:35):
You know, one thing I want to say, real quick One, and
this has nothing to do with thefact of me liking that money,
but I'm surprised.
Do with the fact of you know meliking that money, but I'm
surprised out of the both of usand how big of a fan you were
and just the confidence like Idon't want to say lacking, but
(17:57):
how was I the one that had themost confidence in your boys to
get it done and put money onthem on the money line?
Scott (18:03):
You know me, dude, I don't like to bet on my team.
You know me, dude, I don't liketo bet on my team like to bet
your team.
I, I like to bet on my team,like as far as over unders goals
scored, yeah, that kind ofthing I.
I didn't.
Graham (18:20):
It was a must win, dude, it was a must win yeah, that's
what I'm and that and that'swhat I was telling myself.
I'm like it's one of those and,plus being here in Vegas and I
was bartending that night, so Ihad some people and we were
watching the game and stuff, andit's just like to be in the
moment and cheer for them.
It was just like we got to win.
(18:42):
And it's just like if you got towin, you know they're gonna put
it all out there.
So I was just like, if there'sany bet that I feel
semi-confident in, and andhere's also what kind of led me
to it was the nhl knows or notthe nhl, but vegas knows, and by
vegas I mean the, the uh bookiemakers this is a must-win game.
(19:03):
They, they're coming back from0-3.
I mean, not that it's notpossible, but let's be real,
against that team.
Announcer (19:10):
Yeah.
Graham (19:11):
For them in a must-win game away to be plus 100, I was
like I like those odds, I don'tdisagree.
I mean I thought for sure itwould have been like minus 130
or something, just because likethey have to win.
But when I saw the plus 100, Iwas like yeah.
Scott (19:32):
You said it before the game.
You're like, I like it, yes,sir.
Earlier, before the card wasannounced, is not playing.
I forget what it was.
The Knights were plus.
And then, here on DraftKings,once Skinner was announced as
the starting goalie, it went toeven.
It was a pick-em, basically.
(19:53):
But anyhow, we got a big gametomorrow night and it's your
boy's birthday and let's go Evenit up, man.
Even it up, and let's make it abest of three when two of those
three are at home.
That's what we got to do.
Announcer (20:10):
Right.
Graham (20:12):
So myself and the listeners are kind of curious
and it just popped up in my headright now how much of that
tequila ball is left?
I don't even know Last night.
Announcer (20:22):
Funny thing is, my dad asked me that tonight at
dinner too I don't know.
Scott (20:27):
I'll tell you this much though.
Okay, this might, this mightgive you a little bit of a hint.
Uh, I told you, john and hiswife ubered home.
Well, what has two thumbs intheir car still sitting in front
of my house on sunday night at11 20?
Graham (20:45):
not me, not you, johnny uh, dude, the best part about
last night was, um, after youknow the game's over, you called
me or you text me, bro, youdone with work and I'm, and I'm
like I'll call you, I'll callyou, and then I finally call you
the first thing out of yourmouth is not even like our

Scott (21:21):
if you don't know, Scott and I have this thing.
Graham (21:35):
And folks.
If you don't know, scott and Ihave this thing where we can
tell usually how intoxicated theother person is.
But we always ask on a scale ofhey, on a scale of 1 to 10,
where do you think you are rightnow?
10 obviously being the drunkest, 1 being sober, and normally
when Scott and I haveconversations later in the
evening it fluctuates in betweenlike 3 and 6 or 7.
It's rare to get the 8.5, nines, very rare.
(21:56):
But when you said 8.5 is thefirst thing that you said and I
was like oh boy, let's go.
Scott (22:01):

because your boy woke up on thecouch at 6 am.
Anyhow, it was a fun night.
I mean, come on, let's go, it'syour birthday, your boys are

Hurricanes are up two games toone after the caps won the first
(23:12):
game in washington.
Dude stars up two games to oneafter they got the dub today,
first game in Dallas against thenumber one seed in the west,
the Jets dude, miko Rantanen.

The dude gets traded fromColorado to the Hurricanes, then
(23:34):
gets traded to the Stars,scores three goals in game seven
in the third period against theteam that traded him away, then
in game one against the Jets.
Not only did he have a hattrick in the second period, he
had a natural hat trick andGraham, I know you don't know
(23:58):
what a natural hat trick is.
That means when you literallyhave three goals in a row.
That means when you literallyhave three goals in a row, all
right, I had six goals in threeperiods.
Going back to game seven.
Announcer (24:15):
Damn.
Scott (24:20):
There you go, as SportsCenter is showing this
right now on TV, with fivethree-point games through teams'
first ten playoff games.
First player ever Is that anygood?
Graham (24:35):
I mean it's all right and homeboy got traded from
Colorado.
Scott (24:39):

I might change my mind a littlebit.
But we got to.
We got to play, dude, we got toplay fast.
We're not playing fast.
We got the two goal lead earlyin game.
One literally played preventdefense the rest of the game.
(25:43):
You can't do that against thoseguys.
We know Connor McDavid, we knowDreisaitl.
I mean, come on, the game wentinto overtime Thursday night.
People were like dude, he'lllook like shit.
It's a two-on-one fast break.
As a goalie you've got to guess.
You're guessing.
(26:04):
Is McDavid keeping it or is hedishing it?
He guessed wrong.
What the fuck are you supposedto do against those two?
Good fucking luck, just shut upand it was stupid good, just
shut up and go eat some poutineand sit on your cooch and go

they're in the West and if wesomehow have a miracle and come
back and win the series, we havehome ice, right?
I mean, obviously I'm rootingfor the Canes because the only
teams that would have home iceagainst us in the Stanley Cup
(27:37):
Finals would be the Capitals andthe Jets.
We would have home life, yeah.
Graham (27:44):
The canes have been looking.
I mean, when I watched thatgame at work, dude, they've been
looking really good, I agreewith Jerry.
Scott (27:50):
I was like all these games and all these series
everybody looks super fast onthe ice, but the canes and
capitals series they look reallyslow.
It's weird.
It's weird, it's weird.
But here's a fun stat, dude.
Toronto Maple Leafs, you know,won the first two games, lost
(28:10):
the last two games.
Austin Matthews, you know thesuperstar for the Maple Leafs.
He's the highest paid player inthe NHL, right?
I don't know if you know that.
You know how many goals he hasin this series against the
Panthers?
Graham (28:27):
I'm going to say I'm not as remind.
Yeah, he's the dude that didn'the?
Didn't he like tie the recordof his one short for I?
Scott (28:37):
don't know.
He just never shows up in theplayoffs dude, it's crazy.
I don't know he just nevershows up in the playoffs dude,
it's crazy.
I don't know what to say.
Yeah, that's tough.
I'm not throwing shade at himbecause the dude's a stud, but
oh yeah, but hey, well, you knowit's, this is actually a nice
little.
Graham (28:56):
I don't want to say a segue, but you know I was
talking with my dad about this.
So when we went to see themovie the other day, uh, when we
got out, it just so happened itwas like the last three minutes
of uh, the nuggets and okctheir game two days ago or
(29:17):
whatever it was, and we werewatching it.
Then, after it was over, youknow, we're driving back and we
were talking and he's just likeyou know, because, uh, sg, or
shane gildress, alexander, he'smost likely gonna be the mvp of
the league, and my dad's justlike and we've talked about this
(29:38):
before why do regular, why doleague awards?
Only, I don't want to saydictate, but why is it?
Scott (29:50):
only the regular season.
No, I get it.
Graham (29:52):
He's under the belief and I know, we've talked about
this before in previous episodes, but it's just like it's the
full body of work.
Granted, there could be peoplethat could be the mvps and they
just don't make the playoffs.
I get it yeah yeah, you knowwhat I mean, but it's just like
when, the way he said it, it'sjust like it makes sense I mean,
(30:14):
yeah, I mean you can make theargument either way.
You know what I mean.
And it's just like it.
It it's truly amazing howpeople can and it's not all, and
it's not just a few, but, likethe, there's a few superstars
that are out there that can justdominate the regular season,
and then it's just come playofftime, it's like, yeah, they're
(30:34):
okay, like they're good, butit's not like yo, bro, what
happened to that shit that youwere doing?
Scott (30:40):
in the regular season.
And then you got dudes thatdon't put their asses off in the
regular season and show up inthat clutch moment.
Yeah, aka, homeboy for theKnicks I can't think of his name
.
Yeah, nobody ever thought I wasa guru of the NBA, but dude, I
can't think of his name.
(31:00):
He had like 11 points in thefourth quarter the other night.
Graham (31:06):
Yeah yeah yeah, brunson you talking about.
Yeah, yeah, he's pretty good.
Scott (31:12):
But anyhow, before we jump into the NBA playoffs, you
and I met because of our love ofanother sport and that is golf.
But, graham, it's time, secondmajor of the year, pga
championship well, hollow inCharlotte, north Carolina.
(31:34):
Aka what Jordan speed said toRory, rory McIlroy country club.
It was hilarious, dude.
I guess somebody said something, or Rory said something to
Jordan and was like how amazingwould it be if you won the PGA
and we had two Grand Slamwinners in back-to-back majors
(31:54):
in the same year?
And Jordan's response was ohyeah, of course, at Rory McIlroy
Country Club, love it, I mean.
I mean, we got lots ofstorylines you make you know
lots what you just hold on asecond.
Graham (32:15):
What you just said seemed like it was downplayed.
There are only six people onplanet Earth who have ever lived
that have the career Grand Slam, and we have an opportunity to
have a seventh.
So to have one already happen,to have two in the same year is
(32:35):
mind-boggling.
Scott (32:36):
Not only in the same year , but back-to-back Right.
Graham (32:41):
Right, Just back to back .
Right, Right, Just it's.
Jay Monahan is just like well.
Scott (32:49):
I don't even think that dude, I don't even think that.
I think the sport of golf is,you know, oh, true, true, true,
true, true.
That's the main thing.
Yeah, I agree, the sport ofgolf.
I mean the ratings last weekwhen Scotty shot 31 under and
(33:10):
won by a million.
Okay, those ratings wereabsolutely incredible.
I forget the exact numbers, butI was shocked when they were
talking about it.
They were Because thetournament was over.
Wow, basically, after nineholes on saturday, scotty was, I
(33:30):
mean, it was yeah, unless heshot a.
I mean on sunday, like wetalked about last week, homeboy
van ruen or whatever shoots 30on the front nine doesn't even
gain a stroke.
I mean the ratings wereincredible.
It's like, okay, the number oneplayer in the world, scotty,
(33:52):
he's running away with it andpeople were still on tv on their
tvs watching it.
So the sport of golf needs thisright now.
It's the pga championship.
People say, other than tpc atsawgrass, this is the best field
(34:13):
in golf.
Pga championship becausethere's no amateurs.
Okay, you, you know every othermajor.
There's amateurs there In thePGA Championship.
No amateurs.
They have a bunch of club proslike myself that play way more
(34:33):
golf than I and don't have asmany responsibilities as I, but
not throwing shade at them,they're way better golfers than
I.
okay, not even saying that, butthere's 20 of them, dude, 20
club pros, playing in this event.
We got a local dude fromVirginia Beach, sick, playing in
it.
Michael Block.
(34:54):
The American story from acouple years ago when he made
the hole-in-one played with RoryInsane, right, I mean stupid.
Graham (35:08):
I think our whole episode that weekend was about
him.
At least 40% of it was abouthim.
Might have been.
Scott (35:14):
But best stories dude I mean Bryson just went on Live a
couple weeks ago.
Rory finally got the Grand Slam.
Now he can just cruise.
Would you be shocked to seeRory just go on this air?
I wouldn't.
Graham (35:37):
You took the words right out of my mouth.
I mean to be honest for him to,it's like he's playing carefree
.
No stress he has the mickey offhis back.
There's no one like, oh youcan't do it Like dude.
One of the most importantthings about playing golf is
just having that level ofcomfortability with yourself
(36:01):
where you're just like turningyour brain off and just letting
the muscle memory do its job.
Scott (36:06):
It's playing free.
Back, when I played in a lot ofevents in Southern California,
I used to have this little cheatsheet thing that I had in my
pocket and it had my yardages.
Because when I'm playing anevent I would always be like, oh
, I got 150 yards.
Instead of swinging full at anine iron, playing free, I would
(36:30):
, oh, let's hit a little chipeight iron.
And I would be like and I hadit.
And then on the back of it itsaid play free, free yourself up
.
And I tell all my students,think about a pitcher in
baseball that just walked twopeople in a row, just threw
eight balls, and then their nextbatter they're facing.
(36:53):
What are they trying to do?
They're trying to steer it,they're trying to throw a
perfect pitch.
That ain't how you play golf,dude Rory.
Everything this dude does ordid leading up to that moment on
that Sunday in April was inpreparation for what?
(37:14):
That?
That moment, that moment, yeah.
And we all saw it the way hebroke down when he made that.
God dang putt.
We saw it.
So guess what, if he goes outand goes crazy on a golf course,
(37:34):
he's won multiple times at it.
Would it surprise you Not atall?
No, not at all, no, not at all.
Graham (37:47):
And the thing you know.
We've talked about it onprevious episodes.
You know, before he won theMasters I don't want to say it
was far-fetched, but when youbrought up the over one and a
half majors for Rory, I was likeoh thanks for bringing that
back.
Where can I find those odds?
Scott (38:10):
Not to mention, but now it's like open championships in
Ireland.
Graham (38:16):
That's my point.
You got two great chances.
He could dude.
I mean, knock on wood here,don't say it.
There's a chance he could, hecould dude, I mean knock on wood
here.
Don't say it, there's a chancehe could go three for four, I
know, but now with a littletransition in that if he's
feeling so free, I know hewouldn't take the foot off the
(38:41):
gas.
But since there's no pressurewhen it comes to the Ryder Cup,
you know that's his event and helikes to go over the top with
it and he can just show himselfand he's like look, all that
other stuff is the other stuff,now that he doesn't have to
worry about that.
I guess what I'm trying to askis is there a chance he I don't
(39:02):
want to say he doesn't take itas no?
personal no chance personal, butjust like no chance, it's no
chance, it's still you know,pedal to the metal.
Scott (39:14):
What's the old saying?
All gas, no brakes, dude, hestill wants to be that guy.
We all know that, right oh forsure, for sure.
It frees him up.
Guess what question he neverhas to answer again.
Announcer (39:30):
Yeah.
Graham (39:32):
Yeah, and it's not like he was getting any younger and
me saying that, what's he?
Only 36?
Scott (39:40):
I don't know the guy's the best driver of the golf ball
out there.
I mean, oh, I was listening tothe subpar podcast last week and
it was Derek Anderson, the oldquarterback for the Panthers,
that actually played in theSuperbowl and his boy is Kevin
(40:02):
Chappell.
And Kevin Chappell was analternate into the New Orleans
event.
Okay, playing with Tom Hogan.
Well, somebody drops out.
Kevin Chappell gets in andAnderson's there caddying for
his boy.
The first two rounds they'repaired up, with rory and lowry
(40:26):
opening the first round.
Okay, this is hilarious and ifanybody hasn't listened to this
episode, listen to it becauseit's absolutely amazing.
Anderson's on the bag forchapel, rory hits his t-shot and
they said derrick anderson isgoing slapping and he looks
(40:46):
around.
He goes.
Oh shit, I'm a caddy, I'm notsupposed to be clapping.
He goes.
He goes the t-shot he did onthe first hole of the event.
He goes and I and he's a memberat whisper rock out in
scottsdale where all these guysare, and and he goes.
I play with Rahm, I play withall these tour players.
He goes.
It's different.
(41:06):
He goes.
When Rory hits a driver, hegoes.
Not only is it dead straight,but he goes in the first 50
yards of the golf ball, thelaunch, he goes.
He's hitting it over a goddamnpole, fucking electrical pole,
he he goes.
It's up there fast like yeah,it was amazing, but I don't know
(41:33):
.
So that brings us to.
You know, we do it for everymajor favorite and long shot.
We talked before the.
We're not allowed to pick Roryor Scotty as their favorite,
because obviously you'd pickRory, then I'd pick Scotty, or
vice versa, or we'd both pick.
Announcer (41:52):
Rory, but whatever.
Scott (41:54):
Who's your favorite?
Let's throw that out there andwho's your long shot?
I mean.
Graham (42:02):
Alright, so I'm going to go with someone that has been
playing very consistent.
Scott (42:09):
Another top three now finish after what happened today
, I know exactly where you'regoing.
Graham (42:14):
Someone that has I like it yeah, of course you do.
Someone that has won at thisplace already.
Scott (42:21):
Pretty sure it was his first major right?
Graham (42:24):
Yeah, first major, and let's not make it as suspenseful
anymore.
I'm going with Justin Thomas,bro Dude, I mean the way he's
been playing these last coupleof months it feels like he found
his game.
I mean, I'm just saying,towards the end of last season
it was a little spotty, but Imean he's just been consistent.
(42:49):
I mean, in golf people justunderestimate how important
consistency is.
It's the name of the game, bro.
I mean, even if it was justconsistent, like I'm doing top
20s every week, what did Kisnersay?
I'll take top 20s.
Scott (43:10):
A lot of money involved in that top 20.
I mean Exactly.
Just think about today elevatedevent Our boy Fowler and Romano
finished T15 elevated event,350 Gs.
Graham (43:25):
I mean, I wouldn't sneeze at that.
Scott (43:28):
But Justin Thomas, your favorite, I like it, I mean, and
he's sitting there at 17 and ahalf to one.
Graham (43:37):
And that's my point, like, as you were saying, the
previous experience there, howhe's been playing.
We're not taking the top twoguys.
I mean the other option, look,bryson's been playing well, he
won last week.
I get it, but it's just like Ithink I'm gonna.
I mean, I normally would takebryson here in this instance,
(43:57):
but familiarity with the placeis important, especially if
you've won there before.
Not to mention, look, a lot ofthese guys play the same courses
all the time.
Things can be different becausecourses change over a
couple-year period where they dotweaks on certain holes and it
can be a completely differentgolf course.
I get that, but just knowingthe golf course won there before
(44:20):
, playing consistent, I like him.
That being said, long shot Nowgranted, long shot, we're not
picking bottle to barrel herebut someone that is 50-1 or
40-1,.
It's hard to go back-to-back inthis league.
(44:43):
By league I mean the pga.
It's difficult.
But that being said, stroka, hedid win today, but he also has
been so consistent does he winI'll give him a fair shot but
will I bet him to place top 20?
Scott (45:04):
let me just tell you this last year at Quail Hollow for
the Truist Championship, theregular event T8 there you go.
Graham (45:18):
So I you know, I'm not mad at it.
Jt and Strata, I'm not mad atit so where am I going?
Scott (45:29):
I have no idea.
No idea.
I know.
We know.
Well, you know who my long shotis going to be and I don't even
call it a long shot, but I'mjust going to go out there.
You know I'm going to be and Idon't even call it a long shot,
but I'm just gonna go out there.
You know, I'm gonna say myfavorite is somebody last year
(45:51):
who had the lead going intosunday and then rory goes out
there and shoots I, I don't knowlights out and wins by five.
But then this player ends upwinning his first major the very
next week at Valhalla.
I'm going with Xander.
(46:14):
Xander plays well, there, I likeit.
You know I don't know Long shot, dude, there's two.
Yeah, I know I'm only allowedto pick one, but I'm picking two
.
Okay, I know, dude, I know, Iknow, you know who my one is.
Okay, because I was prayinglast night that this person
(46:37):
didn't win today, because Ireally wanted to pick him next
week, and that's Shane Lowry.
Not that I don't want somebodyto play bad and lose, but no,
for sure, for sure.
Graham (46:49):
I know what you mean.
Scott (46:50):
His game's trending bro.
He's been playing his Irishdick off and he's 40 to 1.
I like it a lot and somebodyelse I like a lot and I'm not
making this my official pick,but somebody to look at his odds
(47:10):
for top 20 for this and thatSomebody that's 60 to 1 and that
literally finished C for 10last year at the truest One
earlier on a tough golf course.
Russell Henley, the guycontrols his golf ball dude.
It's a major, it's a major whatdo you got to do in a major
(47:35):
fairways.
It greens, but facts.
I don't know.
I mean, and I'm going to go outthere and say it I don don't
know.
I wish there was a place Icould find the odds.
There's 20 pga club pros likemyself that are playing in this
event.
I'm gonna go out there and I'mgonna say out of those 20, my
(47:56):
gut reaction is two of the 20are gonna make the cut.
Why did I take the words rightout of your mouth?
Graham (48:05):
It's almost like we're best friends, because I was
literally just going to say, asyou were doing your little thing
about your long shots, the nextquestion out of my mouth was so
, out of all these PGA pros, howmany do you think are going to
make the cut?
Literally was what I was aboutto ask you.
Scott (48:27):
And is one of those two, our boy block just for shits and
giggles?
No well right.
Write it down like one of thegreatest movies ever.
Friday write it down take a.
I don't give a fuck.
Graham (48:46):
Speaking of Friday did you?
Announcer (48:49):
hear.
Scott (48:50):
They're filming a fourth round.
Oh Lord and Rancho Cucamonga.
What Was that?
Two or three?
Graham (48:59):
Two, no no.
Friday Friday after next Idon't remember, was it two yeah,
two, no, no.
Scott (49:04):
Friday, friday after next , I don't remember, Was it two.
Graham (49:06):
Yeah, two that was a funny one.
Scott (49:10):
You get me thinking about it.
I'm going to say two dude, twoof them.
I mean, am I wishing bad thingsagainst the other A team?
Absolutely not.
I'm just being realistic.
Graham (49:26):
Dude as a PGA Pro.
I would think you'd want.
I mean, you're obviouslyrooting for all of them, but
it's just like dude to have aPGA Pro make the cut at the PGA.
That's what made Block Storythree years ago.
I can't believe it's been threeyears already.
Announcer (49:40):
Jesus that's what made.
Graham (49:40):
Block Story three years ago.
I can't believe it's been threeyears already.
Jesus, three years ago, blockStory made it so unbelievably
amazing the fact that he had achance.
Scott (49:49):
You're paired up with Rory on Sunday.
I know not only do you make ahole in one, but you go loop it,
don't even hit the goddamnground.
And you know the worst partabout it, and this is probably
the first time I've everadmitted this.
I didn't even see it live.
(50:10):
You know why?
Because that was the day Andyand Steph got to my house in
Virginia and it was the Knightsplayoff game on Sunday afternoon
and we were in overtime as thePGA Championship was going on
and my phone goes absolute apeshit.
Graham (50:34):
And I'm like what is going on you?
Scott (50:36):
know incredible, but all right.
So you got Justin Thomas andStraka.
Graham (50:46):
Dude, straka's a beast, he's a beast, it just sucks that
he had a southern draw andplays on the god dang European
Ryder Cup team hey, and believeme, I'm going to be a Beth Page
booing the shit out of him.
He's a Georgia.
Scott (51:03):
Bulldog and just gets it done.
Bro, Gets it done.
Graham (51:09):
You know, when I was looking at the list that you
sent me, you know, for the longshots, it's like you know
there's some of these guys whereit's just like you know.
I know you mentioned somethingabout Henley.
You know Corey Connors is rightthere.
Justin Rose, does he pull alittle magic out of the hat that
he did from Augusta?
(51:30):
I mean, who knows?
Jason Day, cameron Smith, jason.
Scott (51:36):
Day last year there finished T4.
Right, that's what I thought.
How about don't forget somebodythat has been struggling and
then found this golf game atAugusta, played well this week
at Philly Cricket Club and haswon at Quail Hollow none other
(51:58):
than Max Homa.
Yes, I remember you bringingthis last night, finished eighth
last year there, than Max Homa.
Yes, I remember you bringingthis last night, finished eighth
last year there.
Anyhow, it's going to be solid.
It's going to be a fun week.
Steven Yeager bro.
Steven Yeager, god, I love him.
(52:22):
What is my?
Graham (52:23):
deal?
You MF'd him up and down.
What is my deal with Yeagerdude?
I don't understand.
You MF'd him.
Scott (52:27):
He's such a good player.
Finished T7 this week at PhillyCricket.
Finished T20 last year.
What At Quail Hollow?
Graham (52:37):
So we bet him last week for top 20.
Scott (52:39):
That was a couple weeks ago.
Graham (52:40):
We don't bet him this week, whatever.
Scott (52:43):
Oh, two weeks ago.
It is sports betting.
How about the moron that laid60 grand today on the Cavaliers
money line, minus whatever 60grand to win 30.
How'd that work out?
60 grand to win 30.
Graham (52:59):
How'd that work out Well , considering.
I just realized that they lostby 20.
Scott (53:06):
God damn it.
And another NBA team scores 80points at halftime.
Graham (53:14):
Dude, you know some of those series have just been
Right.
You know some of those serieshave just been Right.
Scott (53:23):
You know some of it is just like I don't even know how
to put into words because it'slike the funny thing is I went
back and listened to last week'sepisode when we were talking
about the NBA and what wethought who has a chance, who
doesn't have a chance and it waspretty funny.
Graham (53:48):
What had happened?
Scott (53:49):
was.
I mean the God dang Knicks arelosing by 20 in game one and
game two and Boston and win bothgames.
The Celtics were minus 800 forwinning the series.
Yeah, the Cavaliers, and theCavaliers the overall one seed
(54:10):
in the East.
And you called it last week.
I was like did the Pacers havea chance?
And you were like, if any ofthe teams playing a higher seed
have a chance, it's the Pacers.
Well, guess what?
They're up three games to one.
Graham (54:29):
They got a chance.
I mean, look what I'll sayabout that.
I didn't realize about theirgame earlier today.
You know the Cavs had their toptwo score Well, not top two,
but two and three score becauseDonovan Mitchell's their top
scorer.
But you know they had threeguys out that were starters for
(54:53):
game one and two.
Those were close games at homethat they lost.
But they came back for gamethree.
They won.
They came back for game three.
They had to.
They had a full lineup, whichis why I mean, look, between
work and then Mother's Day, Ihaven't had a chance to really
dive in and to see what happenedwith this game.
(55:15):
But the Pacers have players Likeyou know.
Halliburton is a stud, siakamis a stud.
Um, there's another guy I can't.
I can picture him, but I can'tthink of his name right now.
He's really good.
I mean they.
Well, what did I tell you theother day when we were on the
phone?
It's just like within any sport, it's the most important thing
(55:41):
for any player, or should I sayfor any professional athlete.
It's it's always availability.
If you're not healthy, youdon't give your team a chance to
win and it doesn't matter whatyou did for us in the past to
get us here.
That's great, that's great, butnow we're here and we're
playing, and if you're not hereto play, it makes a significant
(56:02):
difference.
Scott (56:04):
If you don't believe that , just ask the Golden State
Warriors.
Who won game one and who's notplaying Steph and who's not even
going to?
They're basically sayingthey're not even going to
evaluate him until game five.
Graham (56:25):
You know, what I will say about that series is I got
to give a lot of credit to JimmyButler, golden State acquiring
him.
I mean, look, people havealways said he's a great player.
He has been somewhat of a divathe last couple of years just
because of his contract and himbasically dictating where he
wants to be.
(56:45):
It is what it is.
But Guess what, graham, that'sSteph's team.
Guess what?
Right.
Scott (56:53):
It's officially May 12th.
Graham (56:57):
That it is Happy birthday.
I haven't sang in a while thatit is happy birthday I haven't
sang in a while but we're gonnasing tonight.
Scott (57:05):
Go, shawty, it's your birthday.
We're gonna party like it'syour birthday.
Let's go birthday shot I gotsome.
I got some patron in therefrigerator.
Graham (57:22):
I thought you said you couldn't find it.
Scott (57:24):
Oh no, I knew where it was.
Anyhow, dude.
Okay, see, I put all my eggs intheir basket, dude.
Graham (57:38):
You did, I personally.
Out of the four series, the twoon each coast, west and East,
that's been the best series.
Dude, they're tied, they're 2-2.
Hands down, it's 2-2.
All the games have well.
Besides, game 2 was a blowoutand that's only because Denver
(57:58):
stole Game 1.
The OKC was up more or less thewhole game.
They were up nine in game onewith like a minute and a half
left, and lost, that's what I'msaying.
So they were prettybitter-bitty, and when I say
they laid the wood, oh my.
Scott (58:20):
Would they score 87 points in the first half.
Graham (58:25):
Yeah, that's unbelievable.
But then look, denver, aveteran team.
They won it two years ago.
They got grit, they played well.
It's tied 2-2 right now.
That's my favorite series rightnow.
I mean the Knicks-Boston series.
The Knicks look, let's behonest, the Knicks had gifts
(58:49):
fall into their lap, basicallycoming through at the end, like
you were saying, dude, they weredown most of the game in both
of those games and they stole it.
So they stole game one, stolegame two.
The Celtics only scored twopoints in the last six minutes
of the game in both of thosegames and they stole it.
Scott (59:00):
So they stole game one.
The Celtics only scored twopoints in the last six minutes
of the game and they were bothfree throws yeah, so it's just
like I mean that series could be3-0 Boston right now.
Graham (59:11):
So like the Timberwolves Warrior series, that's pretty
good, but the thing is everygame in that series.
I think my bet, if I'm going todo another bet in that series,
don't pick a game, or should Isay don't pick a team, because
the line more or less has beenlike minus four and a half, and
(59:33):
it's minus four and a halfwithout Steph, which is pretty
remarkable.
But what's been consistent?
The under the first two gameswith Steph it was 220.
Even with Steph, I think thefirst game was only 190.
They were under by 30 points.
(59:53):
They adjusted the next twogames, but it's just like it was
like 80.
They didn't even score 180.
Scott (01:00:02):
Dude, I'm looking at series odds right now, okay.
Okay, see Two to two Minus 575.
Yeah yeah.
Cavaliers and Pacers, Pacersare minus 300.
Celticsknicks Knicks are up twogames to one.
(01:00:26):
What do you think that is?
Graham (01:00:29):
I would say it's Boston minus.
You're close 290.
I almost said 300 so.
Scott (01:00:38):
I mean what do you think Minnesota Golden State is?
Graham (01:00:43):
It has to be Timberwolves.
I'd say Timberwolves minus 450.
Scott (01:00:52):
Oh, with them not evaluating Steph until after
game five.
Graham (01:00:59):
Yeah, no, you're right, I should have gone higher on
that.
Yeah, you got a good point.
I don't know.
Scott (01:01:05):
Who knows what do we know ?
You know what do we goddamnknow.
Graham (01:01:09):
Yeah, I mean, the thing that sucks is the Pacers don't
have a chance.
Like, oh man, if Boston beats,the Knicks comebacks and beat
them.
I don't know if the Pacers gota chance to beat Boston.
That's the only thing thatsucks.
So it would be Boston.
And then look that I mean thisNuggets-OKC series.
(01:01:33):
I think can go either way and Ithink either of those two teams
against the Timberwolves isgoing to be a great series.
It's just now it comes to thatpoint of which of those three
teams can beat Boston at thispoint.
Scott (01:01:53):
Boston ain't winning.
And by say not winning, I meanby not winning, I mean winning
the championship.
Graham (01:02:02):
That's what.
Announcer (01:02:02):
I mean.
Graham (01:02:02):
Because I was going to say the NBA would love, love,
the Knicks to win, yeah, and Iwould love for my best friend on
the planet to win the lottery.
Scott (01:02:25):
But guess what?
That's not going to happenbecause you don't play the
lottery.
Graham (01:02:34):
Yeah, not when the Mega Millions is final or it's a
piece.
Scott (01:02:37):
now, johnny got me some scratch-offs for my birthday and
I haven't even looked at it yet.
I could have a shit ton ofmoney right now in my hand and
don't have a clue.
Graham (01:02:56):
Well, it's about that time.
You know what it's yourbirthday.
Scott (01:03:03):

wife and johnny and his wifeover.
Didn't know they were coming,they just showed up like 45
minutes after everybody else gothere.
Kristen surprised me andinvited Billy and his wife and
Johnny and his wife over.
Didn't know they were coming,they just showed up like 45
minutes after everybody else gothere, just for the surprise.
It was hilarious.
(04:31):
I had a great time.
May or may not have had way toomuch tequila, but it was fun.
The Knights got the dub.
We'll talk about that inamazing fashion Like wow, still
can't believe it.
But you know, the highlight ofthe weekend was we started
(04:55):
Kellen's Flag League today.
Announcer (04:57):
Oh yeah.
Scott (04:58):
Dude.
It's been a long time coming,bro, like we were supposed to
start our season Master Sunday.
Damn yeah and that's a month agothere was an issue with the
vendors, with the jerseys, andthen opening day was supposed to
be last week and it was raining, so it got canceled.
(05:19):
So finally we got to play agame today.
And you, it was the first timeI got to meet my assistant coach
, who I talked about on herebefore, and we got a guru.
Bro, my guy played safety incollege, knows defense, you know
.
Had the boys we only have anhour to practice before the game
(05:41):
had the boys on defense, youknow, learning their
responsibilities and wherethey're supposed to be in this
and that, well, we get the ballfirst.
We were the away team.
They won the toss.
They deferred boy, theyprobably shouldn't have done
that.
Let me just tell you.
(06:02):
First play of the game.
First play of the game.
Okay To the house.
My boy, shane, grabs one CuttyFirst play.
First play, thanks for playing.
Hold them three and out we getthe ball.
They punt.
You know we talked about the runpass option on the episodes
(06:24):
before, about how Kellen's goingto be the running back.
Well, second play on offensefor us.
Kellen gets the handoff runpass options there.
Pumps to the right, he gone.
Tutty, it's 14 to nothing.
We've ran two plays Damn, it's14 to nothing.
(06:45):
We've ran two plays, damn.
And all I can think about islast night, when I was on the
phone with Graham I may or maynot have over served myself and
Graham was like, all right, youkeep talking to the offense and
this and that you're putting therun pass option in there.
Don't even come at me unlessyou score 30.
And I'm like that was mymotivation.
And I'm like that was mymotivation and I'm like, all
(07:09):
right, you bald-headed, I gotyour 30.
So what'd we do?
Threw up 38.
Let's go, let's go, let's go1-0.
1-38-16.
Dude, I'm just going to saythis right now If there was ever
a chance for us to win thewhole thing, it's now.
Yeah, I got a dude on defensethat knows what the hell he's
(07:34):
doing.
It's, it's sick, it's amazing.
The other team did listen tothis shit.
So the rules of the league theboys aren't allowed to have
pockets on their shorts makessense, right?
Because it's flag football andyou're pulling going to pull for
a flag, your hand gets stuck intheir pocket, you break your
wrist.
Get it okay.
So it's 22 to 6, one minutebefore halftime, and a parent on
(08:03):
the other team is bitter Betty,because we're laying out to
them, and she's like oh, referee, that kid has a pocket on his
shorts.
Wait, is that the reason yourteam's getting boat raced?
Because my guy has a pocket?
(08:23):
It's 22 to 10.
Oh, they're kicking the shitout of usaced because my guy has
a pocket.
It's 22 to 10.
Oh, they're kicking the shitout of us Cause homeboys got a
pocket.
Well then, come and find outthree of our chainside pockets
and they had to run over to theheadquarters for the league and
put duct tape on their goddamnshorts One minute before
halftime, like you're justlooking for a reason that your
(08:46):
team sucks and is unathletic andyou're getting boat raced by a
guru who?
A defensive guru, but anyhow,it was amazing.
Kellen had a blast, I had ablast.
Obviously it was a fun firstgame of the year.
Then we all went out to dinnerfor Mother's Day my dad and mom
(09:07):
and Kristen's mom and dad.
Then we're here, we're back,it's time.
It's bald guys on the bench.
Weekend wrap-up is complete.
I don't even know where tostart.
I mean, I think I'm going tostart off.
Let's jump real quick into theStanley Cup playoffs.
We got some series dude.
(09:29):
Not only that, but somethingthat is amazing to me I think
through Thursday night, we'vehad 15 games go to overtime so
far in the first and secondround.
Graham (09:44):
That's insane.
Scott (09:47):
That's wild dude, wild, wild, wild shit.
But you know, last week I wasthrowing shade at the NBA and
how shitty their playoffs areand this and that and the
blowouts.
I'm going to eat a little crowbecause there's been some
amazing endings of games in theNBA.
(10:07):
Yeah, and not if you're aCeltics fan.
Announcer (10:12):
But we'll get into that.
Scott (10:15):
I mean geez Louise, but you know the NBA playoffs have
there's been their share ofblowouts, but there were a
couple of games early in roundtwo that you were like did that
just happen?
Graham (10:30):
What.
Scott (10:32):
Yeah, pretty amazing.
But anyhow, stanley cupplayoffs.
Dude, I'm just going to jumpright in.
Everybody knows I'm a Knightsfan.
The Knights lost game one whenyou're up, two to nothing.
Then game two, that wasthursday night, wasn't it when I
(10:53):
went to overtime?
Yeah, yeah, because we startedtuesday, it's tuesday, thursday.
Yeah, dude, we're up, we'redown two goals going into the
third period.
I'm like all right, we're done,we're going to lose both home
games.
Then we tie it, take the gameto overtime.
I'm losing my mind.
(11:14):
It's in overtime.
10, 11 minutes left in overtime.
Nick Wobb does the dumbestthing I've ever seen him do in
my life and cross-checks homeboyto the face.
The guy's been an amazingplayer his whole career, never
done anything stupid.
Now we're going on a power playkill, a five-minute major
(11:35):
against the team.
That is the best power playunit in the NHL.
I'm like this shit's over.
Graham (11:45):
Thanks wall and hey he was sticking up for his goalie?
Scott (11:50):
no, that wasn't that, that was.
That was a whole different.
That was white filed in thevanderkeen.
Was the dude that?
No wall?
I thought that was checked.
Homeboy in the face oh, Ithought he, that was in overtime
oh, I thought he did that whenhe was on the ground.
Graham (12:04):
Oh, my apologies.
Scott (12:06):
We kill a five minute major.
We have the momentum, thecrowd's going apeshit, okay.
And then McNabb is going aftera puck and the oiler guy
blatantly trips him into theboard.
Should have been a penalty.
Nothing called.
(12:27):
30 seconds later, right side,I'll meet, david.
Thanks for playing.
You ain't going to stop thatthey win, dude.
It's not me as a fan, because Iwas bitter Betty.
Obviously it's bullshit.
I was bitter Betty.
Obviously it's bullshit.
But all the media, all thehockey guys, nhl radio on Sirius
(12:50):
the next morning on the way towork, it's just bullshit,
bullshit, bullshit.
His stick was between his legs.
Am I saying we would have wonin overtime if that was a power
play?
Absolutely not.
Graham (13:04):
I'm just saying right, it was bullshit I mean it's kind
of sounding like you know thenfl, where you can't throw a
challenge flag on certain plays.
Scott (13:20):
That don't happen, happen the only time you know what I'm
saying reviewed as if it's amajor.
And that's because of when theknights got effed in the butt
raw against the sharks, whencody eakin got called, when it
was a five minute major on himbecause some sharks guy doesn't
(13:43):
know how to skate and the theSharks came back and won, so
they changed the rule because ofthat.
But anyhow, whatever we takethe ass beating, we're down two
games to nothing at home, goinginto America's top hat, canada.
And now we're down McNabb.
Then Nicholas Wall has ahearing with the NHL to see if
(14:06):
he's going to be suspended andwe're like, oh great, we're down
McNabb because of the trippingand his injury into the boards.
And now Wall is going to getsuspended.
Like there was no doubt in mymind that Wall was getting
suspended.
Comes out Friday, not suspended, because it was his first
offense.
Only fine, whatever, not a lotof money.
(14:31):
Then the game last night.
You know, I've got everybodyover here at my house and game
kicks, starts off a little later.
We're down two to nothing.
Dude in, like the first nineminutes.
I'm like well, whatever, it'syour birthday, have a good time.
You know, don't even thinkabout it.
It is what it is, don't let itruin the night.
And bada, bing, bada boom, wetie it up.
We score two goals in like 54seconds and I'm like, okay,
(14:55):
let's go.
Baby hello, dude, anyhow, we'reup a goal, dude, with four
minutes left and the america'stop hat team, the oiler, score
goal to tie it.
And I'm like, oh, dude, we'reabout to go to overtime.
I'm literally watching it on tvfrom the front porch as
johnny's waiting for his uberand I'm like, bro, I gotta go
(15:18):
inside.
There's three minutes left.
He's like, go, dude, dude, Iget it.
Go, go, go, dude.
Graham (15:26):
You're a friend, I can't believe you gave him that much.
Scott (15:29):
Three minutes left I'd have been like please, the only
score, dude, was 0.4 secondsleft.
And the crazy thing was, whenit's happening live, you
couldn't even really see it goin because as it went in and
came out it hit the camera inthe back of the net.
It ricocheted out so fast,right, and they, they had to
(15:52):
review it.
And all the nights players arelike going nuts and I'm like
kristin, if they're going nutslike that, this shit's a good
goal.
And obviously they reviewed itand you were seeing it and it
was clearly in the net.
Let's go.
Pickard, the Oilers goalie thatgot hot against the Kings, got
hot against us, won six games ina row.
(16:13):
He got injured Thursday nightwhen Thomas Hertel fell on him
and he didn't start.
Last night.
The Knights, literally in thecareer of Skinner being in the
net for the Oilers, the Knightshave a four-goal-per-game
average against them and I'mlike, let's go, we got the dub,
we had to do what we had to do.
(16:33):
We had to get that win Numberone.
Like I was telling Jerry andTyler and maybe you, I didn't
want to see my boys geteliminated on my birthday.
So at least I escaped that.
Okay, I escaped that.
We gotta, we gotta.
We got a tough hill to climb.
But guess what?
(16:53):
It was announced today pickersout, tomorrow, skinner's back,
baby.
But it but it sucks With thewin.
Stone got hurt.
Everybody stepped up Wild, billCarlson, jiminy Crickets, dude,
insane game yesterday.
(17:14):
One of the best games of hiscareer, maybe ever, but it was
insane.
Guy stepped up.
We got our number one goalscorer back.
He hadn't been in the game intwo weeks.
Pavel Dorfov he came back lastnight.
That was huge, but anyhow, dude.
Graham (17:35):
You know, one thing I want to say, real quick One, and
this has nothing to do with thefact of me liking that money,
but I'm surprised.
Do with the fact of you know meliking that money, but I'm
surprised out of the both of usand how big of a fan you were
and just the confidence like Idon't want to say lacking, but
(17:57):
how was I the one that had themost confidence in your boys to
get it done and put money onthem on the money line?
Scott (18:03):
You know me, dude, I don't like to bet on my team.
You know me, dude, I don't liketo bet on my team like to bet
your team.
I, I like to bet on my team,like as far as over unders goals
scored, yeah, that kind ofthing I.
I didn't.
Graham (18:20):
It was a must win, dude, it was a must win yeah, that's
what I'm and that and that'swhat I was telling myself.
I'm like it's one of those and,plus being here in Vegas and I
was bartending that night, so Ihad some people and we were
watching the game and stuff, andit's just like to be in the
moment and cheer for them.
It was just like we got to win.
(18:42):
And it's just like if you got towin, you know they're gonna put
it all out there.
So I was just like, if there'sany bet that I feel
semi-confident in, and andhere's also what kind of led me
to it was the nhl knows or notthe nhl, but vegas knows, and by
vegas I mean the, the uh bookiemakers this is a must-win game.
(19:03):
They, they're coming back from0-3.
I mean, not that it's notpossible, but let's be real,
against that team.
Announcer (19:10):
Yeah.
Graham (19:11):
For them in a must-win game away to be plus 100, I was
like I like those odds, I don'tdisagree.
I mean I thought for sure itwould have been like minus 130
or something, just because likethey have to win.
But when I saw the plus 100, Iwas like yeah.
Scott (19:32):
You said it before the game.
You're like, I like it, yes,sir.
Earlier, before the card wasannounced, is not playing.
I forget what it was.
The Knights were plus.
And then, here on DraftKings,once Skinner was announced as
the starting goalie, it went toeven.
It was a pick-em, basically.
(19:53):
But anyhow, we got a big gametomorrow night and it's your
boy's birthday and let's go Evenit up, man.
Even it up, and let's make it abest of three when two of those
three are at home.
That's what we got to do.
Announcer (20:10):
Right.
Graham (20:12):
So myself and the listeners are kind of curious
and it just popped up in my headright now how much of that
tequila ball is left?
I don't even know Last night.
Announcer (20:22):
Funny thing is, my dad asked me that tonight at
dinner too I don't know.
Scott (20:27):
I'll tell you this much though.
Okay, this might, this mightgive you a little bit of a hint.
Uh, I told you, john and hiswife ubered home.
Well, what has two thumbs intheir car still sitting in front
of my house on sunday night at11 20?
Graham (20:45):
not me, not you, johnny uh, dude, the best part about
last night was, um, after youknow the game's over, you called
me or you text me, bro, youdone with work and I'm, and I'm
like I'll call you, I'll callyou, and then I finally call you
the first thing out of yourmouth is not even like our
(21:07):
traditional guy.
First thing out of your mouthis 8.5.
And folks?
Scott (21:21):
if you don't know, Scott and I have this thing.
Graham (21:35):
And folks.
If you don't know, scott and Ihave this thing where we can
tell usually how intoxicated theother person is.
But we always ask on a scale ofhey, on a scale of 1 to 10,
where do you think you are rightnow?
10 obviously being the drunkest, 1 being sober, and normally
when Scott and I haveconversations later in the
evening it fluctuates in betweenlike 3 and 6 or 7.
It's rare to get the 8.5, nines, very rare.
(21:56):
But when you said 8.5 is thefirst thing that you said and I
was like oh boy, let's go.
Scott (22:01):
Baby, I'm just going to confirm my eight and a half,
because your boy woke up on thecouch at 6 am.
Anyhow, it was a fun night.
I mean, come on, let's go, it'syour birthday, your boys are
here.
Hey birthday weekend, Mother'sDay weekend and the first thing
(22:22):
I said to Kristen was because itwas my parents and her parents,
and then Billy and Johnsurprised me.
Like I said, the first thing Isaid to Kristen this morning was
, besides, happy Mother's Daywas.
I was pretty lit last night,was I okay when your parents
were here?
Graham (22:47):
And she was like yeah, you were good and I was like
yeah, you said you waited.
Scott (22:51):
I was like okay, my parents cracked open that bottle
, whatever, don't care, but youknow I had to be on good
behavior, so that was the firstthing I said.
Dude, it was hilarious, she waslaughing at me, but anyhow uh,
that dude it was hilarious.
She was laughing at me, butanyhow, uh, dude, let's jump
right in.
Hurricanes are up two games toone after the caps won the first
(23:12):
game in washington.
Dude stars up two games to oneafter they got the dub today,
first game in Dallas against thenumber one seed in the west,
the Jets dude, miko Rantanen.
What can you say?
The dude gets traded fromColorado to the Hurricanes, then
(23:34):
gets traded to the Stars,scores three goals in game seven
in the third period against theteam that traded him away, then
in game one against the Jets.
Not only did he have a hattrick in the second period, he
had a natural hat trick andGraham, I know you don't know
(23:58):
what a natural hat trick is.
That means when you literallyhave three goals in a row.
That means when you literallyhave three goals in a row, all
right, I had six goals in threeperiods.
Going back to game seven.
Announcer (24:15):
Damn.
Scott (24:20):
There you go, as SportsCenter is showing this
right now on TV, with fivethree-point games through teams'
first ten playoff games.
First player ever Is that anygood?
Graham (24:35):
I mean it's all right and homeboy got traded from
Colorado.
Scott (24:39):
But I don't know, dude.
Toronto wins the first twogames against the Panthers and
Canada and looked like a forcedude.
And then Florida just screamedback and won both of their games
.
In Florida Series is 2-2.
Love it, it's amazing.
(25:00):
Every series is right there.
Bro, no-transcript.
If we win tomorrow night to tieit up to to going back to Vegas
(25:22):
making an invest of three withtwo of the three games in Vegas,
I might change my mind a littlebit.
But we got to.
We got to play, dude, we got toplay fast.
We're not playing fast.
We got the two goal lead earlyin game.
One literally played preventdefense the rest of the game.
(25:43):
You can't do that against thoseguys.
We know Connor McDavid, we knowDreisaitl.
I mean, come on, the game wentinto overtime Thursday night.
People were like dude, he'lllook like shit.
It's a two-on-one fast break.
As a goalie you've got to guess.
You're guessing.
(26:04):
Is McDavid keeping it or is hedishing it?
He guessed wrong.
What the fuck are you supposedto do against those two?
Good fucking luck, just shut upand it was stupid good, just
shut up and go eat some poutineand sit on your cooch and go
(26:28):
take a leak in your washroom orwhatever the hell they call it,
and go phone your mom, you know.
Star your bitter that your bestsport in your country hasn't
won a championship in a long asstime.
So you know.
Graham (26:48):
Someone's getting Uber Eats poutine tomorrow night.
Shit's disgusting.
Scott (26:51):
You send me that dude and I'll just.
Mmm who puts gravy on fuckingFrench fries?
They're potatoes.
It's disgusting.
Graham (27:04):
They're the same thing Disgusting.
Now, what I wanted to ask you,are you rooting against the
number one seeds?
Scott (27:17):
Well, obviously I'm rooting against the Jets because
they're in the West and if wesomehow have a miracle and come
back and win the series, we havehome ice, right?
I mean, obviously I'm rootingfor the Canes because the only
teams that would have home iceagainst us in the Stanley Cup
(27:37):
Finals would be the Capitals andthe Jets.
We would have home life, yeah.
Graham (27:44):
The canes have been looking.
I mean, when I watched thatgame at work, dude, they've been
looking really good, I agreewith Jerry.
Scott (27:50):
I was like all these games and all these series
everybody looks super fast onthe ice, but the canes and
capitals series they look reallyslow.
It's weird.
It's weird, it's weird.
But here's a fun stat, dude.
Toronto Maple Leafs, you know,won the first two games, lost
(28:10):
the last two games.
Austin Matthews, you know thesuperstar for the Maple Leafs.
He's the highest paid player inthe NHL, right?
I don't know if you know that.
You know how many goals he hasin this series against the
Panthers?
Graham (28:27):
I'm going to say I'm not as remind.
Yeah, he's the dude that didn'the?
Didn't he like tie the recordof his one short for I?
Scott (28:37):
don't know.
He just never shows up in theplayoffs dude, it's crazy.
I don't know he just nevershows up in the playoffs dude,
it's crazy.
I don't know what to say.
Yeah, that's tough.
I'm not throwing shade at himbecause the dude's a stud, but
oh yeah, but hey, well, you knowit's, this is actually a nice
little.
Graham (28:56):
I don't want to say a segue, but you know I was
talking with my dad about this.
So when we went to see themovie the other day, uh, when we
got out, it just so happened itwas like the last three minutes
of uh, the nuggets and okctheir game two days ago or
(29:17):
whatever it was, and we werewatching it.
Then, after it was over, youknow, we're driving back and we
were talking and he's just likeyou know, because, uh, sg, or
shane gildress, alexander, he'smost likely gonna be the mvp of
the league, and my dad's justlike and we've talked about this
(29:38):
before why do regular, why doleague awards?
Only, I don't want to saydictate, but why is it?
Scott (29:50):
only the regular season.
No, I get it.
Graham (29:52):
He's under the belief and I know, we've talked about
this before in previous episodes, but it's just like it's the
full body of work.
Granted, there could be peoplethat could be the mvps and they
just don't make the playoffs.
I get it yeah yeah, you knowwhat I mean, but it's just like
when, the way he said it, it'sjust like it makes sense I mean,
(30:14):
yeah, I mean you can make theargument either way.
You know what I mean.
And it's just like it.
It it's truly amazing howpeople can and it's not all, and
it's not just a few, but, likethe, there's a few superstars
that are out there that can justdominate the regular season,
and then it's just come playofftime, it's like, yeah, they're
(30:34):
okay, like they're good, butit's not like yo, bro, what
happened to that shit that youwere doing?
Scott (30:40):
in the regular season.
And then you got dudes thatdon't put their asses off in the
regular season and show up inthat clutch moment.
Yeah, aka, homeboy for theKnicks I can't think of his name
.
Yeah, nobody ever thought I wasa guru of the NBA, but dude, I
can't think of his name.
(31:00):
He had like 11 points in thefourth quarter the other night.
Graham (31:06):
Yeah yeah yeah, brunson you talking about.
Yeah, yeah, he's pretty good.
Scott (31:12):
But anyhow, before we jump into the NBA playoffs, you
and I met because of our love ofanother sport and that is golf.
But, graham, it's time, secondmajor of the year, pga
championship well, hollow inCharlotte, north Carolina.
(31:34):
Aka what Jordan speed said toRory, rory McIlroy country club.
It was hilarious, dude.
I guess somebody said something, or Rory said something to
Jordan and was like how amazingwould it be if you won the PGA
and we had two Grand Slamwinners in back-to-back majors
(31:54):
in the same year?
And Jordan's response was ohyeah, of course, at Rory McIlroy
Country Club, love it, I mean.
I mean, we got lots ofstorylines you make you know
lots what you just hold on asecond.
Graham (32:15):
What you just said seemed like it was downplayed.
There are only six people onplanet Earth who have ever lived
that have the career Grand Slam, and we have an opportunity to
have a seventh.
So to have one already happen,to have two in the same year is
(32:35):
mind-boggling.
Scott (32:36):
Not only in the same year , but back-to-back Right.
Graham (32:41):
Right, Just back to back .
Right, Right, Just it's.
Jay Monahan is just like well.
Scott (32:49):
I don't even think that dude, I don't even think that.
I think the sport of golf is,you know, oh, true, true, true,
true, true.
That's the main thing.
Yeah, I agree, the sport ofgolf.
I mean the ratings last weekwhen Scotty shot 31 under and
(33:10):
won by a million.
Okay, those ratings wereabsolutely incredible.
I forget the exact numbers, butI was shocked when they were
talking about it.
They were Because thetournament was over.
Wow, basically, after nineholes on saturday, scotty was, I
(33:30):
mean, it was yeah, unless heshot a.
I mean on sunday, like wetalked about last week, homeboy
van ruen or whatever shoots 30on the front nine doesn't even
gain a stroke.
I mean the ratings wereincredible.
It's like, okay, the number oneplayer in the world, scotty,
(33:52):
he's running away with it andpeople were still on tv on their
tvs watching it.
So the sport of golf needs thisright now.
It's the pga championship.
People say, other than tpc atsawgrass, this is the best field
(34:13):
in golf.
Pga championship becausethere's no amateurs.
Okay, you, you know every othermajor.
There's amateurs there In thePGA Championship.
No amateurs.
They have a bunch of club proslike myself that play way more
(34:33):
golf than I and don't have asmany responsibilities as I, but
not throwing shade at them,they're way better golfers than
I.
okay, not even saying that, butthere's 20 of them, dude, 20
club pros, playing in this event.
We got a local dude fromVirginia Beach, sick, playing in
it.
Michael Block.
(34:54):
The American story from acouple years ago when he made
the hole-in-one played with RoryInsane, right, I mean stupid.
Graham (35:08):
I think our whole episode that weekend was about
him.
At least 40% of it was abouthim.
Might have been.
Scott (35:14):
But best stories dude I mean Bryson just went on Live a
couple weeks ago.
Rory finally got the Grand Slam.
Now he can just cruise.
Would you be shocked to seeRory just go on this air?
I wouldn't.
Graham (35:37):
You took the words right out of my mouth.
I mean to be honest for him to,it's like he's playing carefree
.
No stress he has the mickey offhis back.
There's no one like, oh youcan't do it Like dude.
One of the most importantthings about playing golf is
just having that level ofcomfortability with yourself
(36:01):
where you're just like turningyour brain off and just letting
the muscle memory do its job.
Scott (36:06):
It's playing free.
Back, when I played in a lot ofevents in Southern California,
I used to have this little cheatsheet thing that I had in my
pocket and it had my yardages.
Because when I'm playing anevent I would always be like, oh
, I got 150 yards.
Instead of swinging full at anine iron, playing free, I would
(36:30):
, oh, let's hit a little chipeight iron.
And I would be like and I hadit.
And then on the back of it itsaid play free, free yourself up
.
And I tell all my students,think about a pitcher in
baseball that just walked twopeople in a row, just threw
eight balls, and then their nextbatter they're facing.
(36:53):
What are they trying to do?
They're trying to steer it,they're trying to throw a
perfect pitch.
That ain't how you play golf,dude Rory.
Everything this dude does ordid leading up to that moment on
that Sunday in April was inpreparation for what?
(37:14):
That?
That moment, that moment, yeah.
And we all saw it the way hebroke down when he made that.
God dang putt.
We saw it.
So guess what, if he goes outand goes crazy on a golf course,
(37:34):
he's won multiple times at it.
Would it surprise you Not atall?
No, not at all, no, not at all.
Graham (37:47):
And the thing you know.
We've talked about it onprevious episodes.
You know, before he won theMasters I don't want to say it
was far-fetched, but when youbrought up the over one and a
half majors for Rory, I was likeoh thanks for bringing that
back.
Where can I find those odds?
Scott (38:10):
Not to mention, but now it's like open championships in
Ireland.
Graham (38:16):
That's my point.
You got two great chances.
He could dude.
I mean, knock on wood here,don't say it.
There's a chance he could, hecould dude, I mean knock on wood
here.
Don't say it, there's a chancehe could go three for four, I
know, but now with a littletransition in that if he's
feeling so free, I know hewouldn't take the foot off the
(38:41):
gas.
But since there's no pressurewhen it comes to the Ryder Cup,
you know that's his event and helikes to go over the top with
it and he can just show himselfand he's like look, all that
other stuff is the other stuff,now that he doesn't have to
worry about that.
I guess what I'm trying to askis is there a chance he I don't
(39:02):
want to say he doesn't take itas no?
personal no chance personal, butjust like no chance, it's no
chance, it's still you know,pedal to the metal.
Scott (39:14):
What's the old saying?
All gas, no brakes, dude, hestill wants to be that guy.
We all know that, right oh forsure, for sure.
It frees him up.
Guess what question he neverhas to answer again.
Announcer (39:30):
Yeah.
Graham (39:32):
Yeah, and it's not like he was getting any younger and
me saying that, what's he?
Only 36?
Scott (39:40):
I don't know the guy's the best driver of the golf ball
out there.
I mean, oh, I was listening tothe subpar podcast last week and
it was Derek Anderson, the oldquarterback for the Panthers,
that actually played in theSuperbowl and his boy is Kevin
(40:02):
Chappell.
And Kevin Chappell was analternate into the New Orleans
event.
Okay, playing with Tom Hogan.
Well, somebody drops out.
Kevin Chappell gets in andAnderson's there caddying for
his boy.
The first two rounds they'repaired up, with rory and lowry
(40:26):
opening the first round.
Okay, this is hilarious and ifanybody hasn't listened to this
episode, listen to it becauseit's absolutely amazing.
Anderson's on the bag forchapel, rory hits his t-shot and
they said derrick anderson isgoing slapping and he looks
(40:46):
around.
He goes.
Oh shit, I'm a caddy, I'm notsupposed to be clapping.
He goes.
He goes the t-shot he did onthe first hole of the event.
He goes and I and he's a memberat whisper rock out in
scottsdale where all these guysare, and and he goes.
I play with Rahm, I play withall these tour players.
He goes.
It's different.
(41:06):
He goes.
When Rory hits a driver, hegoes.
Not only is it dead straight,but he goes in the first 50
yards of the golf ball, thelaunch, he goes.
He's hitting it over a goddamnpole, fucking electrical pole,
he he goes.
It's up there fast like yeah,it was amazing, but I don't know
(41:33):
.
So that brings us to.
You know, we do it for everymajor favorite and long shot.
We talked before the.
We're not allowed to pick Roryor Scotty as their favorite,
because obviously you'd pickRory, then I'd pick Scotty, or
vice versa, or we'd both pick.
Announcer (41:52):
Rory, but whatever.
Scott (41:54):
Who's your favorite?
Let's throw that out there andwho's your long shot?
I mean.
Graham (42:02):
Alright, so I'm going to go with someone that has been
playing very consistent.
Scott (42:09):
Another top three now finish after what happened today
, I know exactly where you'regoing.
Graham (42:14):
Someone that has I like it yeah, of course you do.
Someone that has won at thisplace already.
Scott (42:21):
Pretty sure it was his first major right?
Graham (42:24):
Yeah, first major, and let's not make it as suspenseful
anymore.
I'm going with Justin Thomas,bro Dude, I mean the way he's
been playing these last coupleof months it feels like he found
his game.
I mean, I'm just saying,towards the end of last season
it was a little spotty, but Imean he's just been consistent.
(42:49):
I mean, in golf people justunderestimate how important
consistency is.
It's the name of the game, bro.
I mean, even if it was justconsistent, like I'm doing top
20s every week, what did Kisnersay?
I'll take top 20s.
Scott (43:10):
A lot of money involved in that top 20.
I mean Exactly.
Just think about today elevatedevent Our boy Fowler and Romano
finished T15 elevated event,350 Gs.
Graham (43:25):
I mean, I wouldn't sneeze at that.
Scott (43:28):
But Justin Thomas, your favorite, I like it, I mean, and
he's sitting there at 17 and ahalf to one.
Graham (43:37):
And that's my point, like, as you were saying, the
previous experience there, howhe's been playing.
We're not taking the top twoguys.
I mean the other option, look,bryson's been playing well, he
won last week.
I get it, but it's just like Ithink I'm gonna.
I mean, I normally would takebryson here in this instance,
(43:57):
but familiarity with the placeis important, especially if
you've won there before.
Not to mention, look, a lot ofthese guys play the same courses
all the time.
Things can be different becausecourses change over a
couple-year period where they dotweaks on certain holes and it
can be a completely differentgolf course.
I get that, but just knowingthe golf course won there before
(44:20):
, playing consistent, I like him.
That being said, long shot Nowgranted, long shot, we're not
picking bottle to barrel herebut someone that is 50-1 or
40-1,.
It's hard to go back-to-back inthis league.
(44:43):
By league I mean the pga.
It's difficult.
But that being said, stroka, hedid win today, but he also has
been so consistent does he winI'll give him a fair shot but
will I bet him to place top 20?
Scott (45:04):
let me just tell you this last year at Quail Hollow for
the Truist Championship, theregular event T8 there you go.
Graham (45:18):
So I you know, I'm not mad at it.
Jt and Strata, I'm not mad atit so where am I going?
Scott (45:29):
I have no idea.
No idea.
I know.
We know.
Well, you know who my long shotis going to be and I don't even
call it a long shot, but I'mjust going to go out there.
You know I'm going to be and Idon't even call it a long shot,
but I'm just gonna go out there.
You know, I'm gonna say myfavorite is somebody last year
(45:51):
who had the lead going intosunday and then rory goes out
there and shoots I, I don't knowlights out and wins by five.
But then this player ends upwinning his first major the very
next week at Valhalla.
I'm going with Xander.
(46:14):
Xander plays well, there, I likeit.
You know I don't know Long shot, dude, there's two.
Yeah, I know I'm only allowedto pick one, but I'm picking two
.
Okay, I know, dude, I know, Iknow, you know who my one is.
Okay, because I was prayinglast night that this person
(46:37):
didn't win today, because Ireally wanted to pick him next
week, and that's Shane Lowry.
Not that I don't want somebodyto play bad and lose, but no,
for sure, for sure.
Graham (46:49):
I know what you mean.
Scott (46:50):
His game's trending bro.
He's been playing his Irishdick off and he's 40 to 1.
I like it a lot and somebodyelse I like a lot and I'm not
making this my official pick,but somebody to look at his odds
(47:10):
for top 20 for this and thatSomebody that's 60 to 1 and that
literally finished C for 10last year at the truest One
earlier on a tough golf course.
Russell Henley, the guycontrols his golf ball dude.
It's a major, it's a major whatdo you got to do in a major
(47:35):
fairways.
It greens, but facts.
I don't know.
I mean, and I'm going to go outthere and say it I don don't
know.
I wish there was a place Icould find the odds.
There's 20 pga club pros likemyself that are playing in this
event.
I'm gonna go out there and I'mgonna say out of those 20, my
(47:56):
gut reaction is two of the 20are gonna make the cut.
Why did I take the words rightout of your mouth?
Graham (48:05):
It's almost like we're best friends, because I was
literally just going to say, asyou were doing your little thing
about your long shots, the nextquestion out of my mouth was so
, out of all these PGA pros, howmany do you think are going to
make the cut?
Literally was what I was aboutto ask you.
Scott (48:27):
And is one of those two, our boy block just for shits and
giggles?
No well right.
Write it down like one of thegreatest movies ever.
Friday write it down take a.
I don't give a fuck.
Graham (48:46):
Speaking of Friday did you?
Announcer (48:49):
hear.
Scott (48:50):
They're filming a fourth round.
Oh Lord and Rancho Cucamonga.
What Was that?
Two or three?
Graham (48:59):
Two, no no.
Friday Friday after next Idon't remember, was it two yeah,
two, no, no.
Scott (49:04):
Friday, friday after next , I don't remember, Was it two.
Graham (49:06):
Yeah, two that was a funny one.
Scott (49:10):
You get me thinking about it.
I'm going to say two dude, twoof them.
I mean, am I wishing bad thingsagainst the other A team?
Absolutely not.
I'm just being realistic.
Graham (49:26):
Dude as a PGA Pro.
I would think you'd want.
I mean, you're obviouslyrooting for all of them, but
it's just like dude to have aPGA Pro make the cut at the PGA.
That's what made Block Storythree years ago.
I can't believe it's been threeyears already.
Announcer (49:40):
Jesus that's what made.
Graham (49:40):
Block Story three years ago.
I can't believe it's been threeyears already.
Jesus, three years ago, blockStory made it so unbelievably
amazing the fact that he had achance.
Scott (49:49):
You're paired up with Rory on Sunday.
I know not only do you make ahole in one, but you go loop it,
don't even hit the goddamnground.
And you know the worst partabout it, and this is probably
the first time I've everadmitted this.
I didn't even see it live.
(50:10):
You know why?
Because that was the day Andyand Steph got to my house in
Virginia and it was the Knightsplayoff game on Sunday afternoon
and we were in overtime as thePGA Championship was going on
and my phone goes absolute apeshit.
Graham (50:34):
And I'm like what is going on you?
Scott (50:36):
know incredible, but all right.
So you got Justin Thomas andStraka.
Graham (50:46):
Dude, straka's a beast, he's a beast, it just sucks that
he had a southern draw andplays on the god dang European
Ryder Cup team hey, and believeme, I'm going to be a Beth Page
booing the shit out of him.
He's a Georgia.
Scott (51:03):
Bulldog and just gets it done.
Bro, Gets it done.
Graham (51:09):
You know, when I was looking at the list that you
sent me, you know, for the longshots, it's like you know
there's some of these guys whereit's just like you know.
I know you mentioned somethingabout Henley.
You know Corey Connors is rightthere.
Justin Rose, does he pull alittle magic out of the hat that
he did from Augusta?
(51:30):
I mean, who knows?
Jason Day, cameron Smith, jason.
Scott (51:36):
Day last year there finished T4.
Right, that's what I thought.
How about don't forget somebodythat has been struggling and
then found this golf game atAugusta, played well this week
at Philly Cricket Club and haswon at Quail Hollow none other
(51:58):
than Max Homa.
Yes, I remember you bringingthis last night, finished eighth
last year there, than Max Homa.
Yes, I remember you bringingthis last night, finished eighth
last year there.
Anyhow, it's going to be solid.
It's going to be a fun week.
Steven Yeager bro.
Steven Yeager, god, I love him.
(52:22):
What is my?
Graham (52:23):
deal?
You MF'd him up and down.
What is my deal with Yeagerdude?
I don't understand.
You MF'd him.
Scott (52:27):
He's such a good player.
Finished T7 this week at PhillyCricket.
Finished T20 last year.
What At Quail Hollow?
Graham (52:37):
So we bet him last week for top 20.
Scott (52:39):
That was a couple weeks ago.
Graham (52:40):
We don't bet him this week, whatever.
Scott (52:43):
Oh, two weeks ago.
It is sports betting.
How about the moron that laid60 grand today on the Cavaliers
money line, minus whatever 60grand to win 30.
How'd that work out?
60 grand to win 30.
Graham (52:59):
How'd that work out Well , considering.
I just realized that they lostby 20.
Scott (53:06):
God damn it.
And another NBA team scores 80points at halftime.
Graham (53:14):
Dude, you know some of those series have just been
Right.
You know some of those serieshave just been Right.
Scott (53:23):
You know some of it is just like I don't even know how
to put into words because it'slike the funny thing is I went
back and listened to last week'sepisode when we were talking
about the NBA and what wethought who has a chance, who
doesn't have a chance and it waspretty funny.
Graham (53:48):
What had happened?
Scott (53:49):
was.
I mean the God dang Knicks arelosing by 20 in game one and
game two and Boston and win bothgames.
The Celtics were minus 800 forwinning the series.
Yeah, the Cavaliers, and theCavaliers the overall one seed
(54:10):
in the East.
And you called it last week.
I was like did the Pacers havea chance?
And you were like, if any ofthe teams playing a higher seed
have a chance, it's the Pacers.
Well, guess what?
They're up three games to one.
Graham (54:29):
They got a chance.
I mean, look what I'll sayabout that.
I didn't realize about theirgame earlier today.
You know the Cavs had their toptwo score Well, not top two,
but two and three score becauseDonovan Mitchell's their top
scorer.
But you know they had threeguys out that were starters for
(54:53):
game one and two.
Those were close games at homethat they lost.
But they came back for gamethree.
They won.
They came back for game three.
They had to.
They had a full lineup, whichis why I mean, look, between
work and then Mother's Day, Ihaven't had a chance to really
dive in and to see what happenedwith this game.
(55:15):
But the Pacers have players Likeyou know.
Halliburton is a stud, siakamis a stud.
Um, there's another guy I can't.
I can picture him, but I can'tthink of his name right now.
He's really good.
I mean they.
Well, what did I tell you theother day when we were on the
phone?
It's just like within any sport, it's the most important thing
(55:41):
for any player, or should I sayfor any professional athlete.
It's it's always availability.
If you're not healthy, youdon't give your team a chance to
win and it doesn't matter whatyou did for us in the past to
get us here.
That's great, that's great, butnow we're here and we're
playing, and if you're not hereto play, it makes a significant
(56:02):
difference.
Scott (56:04):
If you don't believe that , just ask the Golden State
Warriors.
Who won game one and who's notplaying Steph and who's not even
going to?
They're basically sayingthey're not even going to
evaluate him until game five.
Graham (56:25):
You know, what I will say about that series is I got
to give a lot of credit to JimmyButler, golden State acquiring
him.
I mean, look, people havealways said he's a great player.
He has been somewhat of a divathe last couple of years just
because of his contract and himbasically dictating where he
wants to be.
(56:45):
It is what it is.
But Guess what, graham, that'sSteph's team.
Guess what?
Right.
Scott (56:53):
It's officially May 12th.
Graham (56:57):
That it is Happy birthday.
I haven't sang in a while thatit is happy birthday I haven't
sang in a while but we're gonnasing tonight.
Scott (57:05):
Go, shawty, it's your birthday.
We're gonna party like it'syour birthday.
Let's go birthday shot I gotsome.
I got some patron in therefrigerator.
Graham (57:22):
I thought you said you couldn't find it.
Scott (57:24):
Oh no, I knew where it was.
Anyhow, dude.
Okay, see, I put all my eggs intheir basket, dude.
Graham (57:38):
You did, I personally.
Out of the four series, the twoon each coast, west and East,
that's been the best series.
Dude, they're tied, they're 2-2.
Hands down, it's 2-2.
All the games have well.
Besides, game 2 was a blowoutand that's only because Denver
(57:58):
stole Game 1.
The OKC was up more or less thewhole game.
They were up nine in game onewith like a minute and a half
left, and lost, that's what I'msaying.
So they were prettybitter-bitty, and when I say
they laid the wood, oh my.
Scott (58:20):
Would they score 87 points in the first half.
Graham (58:25):
Yeah, that's unbelievable.
But then look, denver, aveteran team.
They won it two years ago.
They got grit, they played well.
It's tied 2-2 right now.
That's my favorite series rightnow.
I mean the Knicks-Boston series.
The Knicks look, let's behonest, the Knicks had gifts
(58:49):
fall into their lap, basicallycoming through at the end, like
you were saying, dude, they weredown most of the game in both
of those games and they stole it.
So they stole game one, stolegame two.
The Celtics only scored twopoints in the last six minutes
of the game in both of thosegames and they stole it.
Scott (59:00):
So they stole game one.
The Celtics only scored twopoints in the last six minutes
of the game and they were bothfree throws yeah, so it's just
like I mean that series could be3-0 Boston right now.
Graham (59:11):
So like the Timberwolves Warrior series, that's pretty
good, but the thing is everygame in that series.
I think my bet, if I'm going todo another bet in that series,
don't pick a game, or should Isay don't pick a team, because
the line more or less has beenlike minus four and a half, and
(59:33):
it's minus four and a halfwithout Steph, which is pretty
remarkable.
But what's been consistent?
The under the first two gameswith Steph it was 220.
Even with Steph, I think thefirst game was only 190.
They were under by 30 points.
(59:53):
They adjusted the next twogames, but it's just like it was
like 80.
They didn't even score 180.
Scott (01:00:02):
Dude, I'm looking at series odds right now, okay.
Okay, see Two to two Minus 575.
Yeah yeah.
Cavaliers and Pacers, Pacersare minus 300.
Celticsknicks Knicks are up twogames to one.
(01:00:26):
What do you think that is?
Graham (01:00:29):
I would say it's Boston minus.
You're close 290.
I almost said 300 so.
Scott (01:00:38):
I mean what do you think Minnesota Golden State is?
Graham (01:00:43):
It has to be Timberwolves.
I'd say Timberwolves minus 450.
Scott (01:00:52):
Oh, with them not evaluating Steph until after
game five.
Graham (01:00:59):
Yeah, no, you're right, I should have gone higher on
that.
Yeah, you got a good point.
I don't know.
Scott (01:01:05):
Who knows what do we know ?
You know what do we goddamnknow.
Graham (01:01:09):
Yeah, I mean, the thing that sucks is the Pacers don't
have a chance.
Like, oh man, if Boston beats,the Knicks comebacks and beat
them.
I don't know if the Pacers gota chance to beat Boston.
That's the only thing thatsucks.
So it would be Boston.
And then look that I mean thisNuggets-OKC series.
(01:01:33):
I think can go either way and Ithink either of those two teams
against the Timberwolves isgoing to be a great series.
It's just now it comes to thatpoint of which of those three
teams can beat Boston at thispoint.
Scott (01:01:53):
Boston ain't winning.
And by say not winning, I meanby not winning, I mean winning
the championship.
Graham (01:02:02):
That's what.
Announcer (01:02:02):
I mean.
Graham (01:02:02):
Because I was going to say the NBA would love, love,
the Knicks to win, yeah, and Iwould love for my best friend on
the planet to win the lottery.
Scott (01:02:25):
But guess what?
That's not going to happenbecause you don't play the
lottery.
Graham (01:02:34):
Yeah, not when the Mega Millions is final or it's a
piece.
Scott (01:02:37):
now, johnny got me some scratch-offs for my birthday and
I haven't even looked at it yet.
I could have a shit ton ofmoney right now in my hand and
don't have a clue.
Graham (01:02:56):
Well, it's about that time.
