Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau
teed up for the weekend. Cowherd praised Mickelson's
career best shape spotlighted by Schroeder Sanders
preseason debut. And they they debated
DeChambeau shift from villain to fan favorite. They
even sat down with LIV CEO Scott o' Neill to
(02:13):
talk about Lib's party atmosphere and the
pressure of battling the PGA Tour. And this is
another example that we give you week after week of people
integrating podcasts into their media that they're already
producing. So Colin Cowherd has his own show, took
it to the tour and did a live recording of

his podcast, sticking with sports

on and off the field. And you know, if I could stress
this anymore on this podcast, here's an this is a great example of an
athlete in his town doing some charity work,

any better PR than that? You get to hang out with the Cincinnati
Bengal at a food bank, raising awareness for needs in your community.
