do you guys want to start withthis?
so if, if anybody does not, Ihave to remember this because,
(01:49):
uh, a lot of times when I listenback to the show, people you
know we know what we're talkingabout visually.
We know what we're talkingabout, but maybe not everybody
else does.
So, uh, yeah, here's boyschiming in hola, my role, uh,
hola my role um, what up, whatup?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
derrick?
Derrick's in the house.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah, golfing with dad so I I was out back putting
the other day and, um, so, forsome context, for some context,
this is what sparked everything.
Right, right, this is a video,a little something, a graphic
(02:30):
thing that Lab Golf and ClubChampion put together.
Yeah, all right, what yourputter is trying to do?
Okay, I have never been a fanof the Revealer.
I don't, I don't For me it just.
You know, that's not how weputt.
I don't think you need toshowcase zero torque.
(02:52):
You can tell people what it is.
You can show your putter in itwhat it does.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I just don't like the fact that they grab every other
putter manufacturer in theworld and say, look at what this
does.
I mean, could you, could youimagine, like the club cover,
the putter manufacturer in theworld and say, look at what this
does, we don't.
Could you, could you imagine,like the club cover, the putter
cover that the revealer wouldhave in your bag?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
it'd be, oh joe, disgusting it would be huge, uh,
huge.
So, uh, I was out back puttingand, uh, I grabbed my phone and
I said I did this versus what'sactually happening.
Oh, it didn't start, oh.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
First part here we go , holy shit.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I think you didn't have a new port in your hand.
Yeah oh man all right and so itwas one take and people called
me out on that.
Uh, so I I shared the the fulllength.
You know that's like I don'tknow, two and a half seconds
longer than that one.
I just edited to make it looknicer.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Uh, I will say absolutely fantastic take by you
.
Like it's so, it's so good.
It really is like amazing whatyou showcased in that and so
many people are so butthurt onit and you weren't saying
anything bad, like it's such agood take and uh, I I think you,
(04:22):
you know, sometimes you juststrike gold and I think that was
gold.
I I really do.
It was really really well done.
Uh, you're not saying anythingabout the putter, really, you're
just saying that's what youknow contraptions you don't putt
with a contraption, okay, youputt with your hands.
So I, I thought it was great.
(04:43):
I, I loved it no, I.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I got called everything from a 20 handicap to
a, an idiot, a moron to acallaway sponsored golfer to
callaway oh yeah, I will agreewith yeah, oh, I am.
I am an angry old man, uh.
But yeah, callaway sponsor, Idid it for rage bait.
I had to ask my kid.
I'm like, what the fuck is ragebait?
(05:07):
never heard uh, yeah, that's andshe's like oh, that's when you
create something just to getpeople pissed off on purpose.
I'm like oh shit all right, itwas kind of funny, but it was
unintentional rage bait, uh.
But you know, then lab came inand chimed in, and then when lab
chimed in, all the fanboys andthen it just went fucking nuts,
(05:29):
it went crazy.
And you know, I was having alot of fun with the comments, uh
, and I sent a message to TylerMunns and I said I go, hey, I am
nowhere nearly as gifted as youare to responding to, you know,
dwellers and, uh, privateaccounts, but I, a couple times
I had in my brain, you know,what would tyler do?
(05:52):
He said and I had, I had, I waswalking around smiling all day
because it was so freaking funny.
The hate that I mean it's, it'sfucking social media people,
it's a putter.
Oh you, odyssey bandwagoner, ohyou, you get paid by calloway
and oh, you know, and just likegood lord, you know.
(06:12):
And then steven was over here,steven jackson, who everybody
knows, a very highly talentedtattoo artist here in town, huge
lab fanboy, huge lab fanboy,and we were talking about it for
a while last night and he'slike dude, it was fucking
hilarious, you know.
And he's like people just losetheir mind and oh my god yeah,
(06:33):
it was great, I loved it, it wasperfect, perfect, take.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I mean it's very, very good.
I mean you didn't put anythought into that and it just
came to you naturally and that'swhat came out, and it's.
It's great, it really is.
That's what Steven said.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
He goes, he goes, do that.
That was like 17 seconds andit's just blown up.
Yeah, it's so funny.
So I will say this for therecord I have nothing against
lab golf, absolutely nothingagainst lab golf whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Absolutely nothing against lab golf whatsoever if a
lab putter makes you enjoy thegame more.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Go rock that shit, go rock it.
Uh, if, if that's what youbelieve you need in your bag to
play this game, better, by allmeans, man, do it.
Good lord, never would I tellanybody don't play something
that they think is going to helpthem.
Good grief, I have nothingagainst them.
I have nothing against their,their what they're doing.
(07:31):
I just think the revealer isabsolutely nonsense.
And the fact that they use itas a selling tool, uh, it's just
, you know, we putt with ourhands on the club, not a
revealer, and we putt with athree-mile-an-hour stroke on a
15-foot putt.
So, and that's what I said, youknow, one guy commented because
(07:55):
I start, you got to read the.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
The first stroke looked just like the contraption
.
It did.
It really did.
It was really well done.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
That's what Steven said.
He goes dude.
I was impressed you did thatone handed.
How did you do that?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I think I think I think what you did also like it
gives a big microscope to whatsocial media golf is and people
don't really understand themessage.
I think that's the bigger issuehere is nobody read the caption
.
Nobody really understands thepoint of the video and that's
where, on putts and if, or aputter, if you're buying the
(08:48):
putter based on a video of acontraption that your putters in
is just trash.
It's bullshit like that makesno sense.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
so I think people just need to pay attention more
and and that's where we're atread, read, and you know and I'm
at fault for that because youknow, I, I know I don't read
everything and I should um, it'stough when there's so much
engagement and videos in yourface and you want to see the
next one and and I get it.
But you know, I said in there,I, you, no one's gonna change my
(09:17):
mind if you can't control theclub face with a putter on a
three mile an hour swing.
The putter is not the problem,sorry, and you know, somebody
indian out there, I'll, I'llI'll never uh, you know when you
start off with, I'll neverchange my opinion.
That's where I you lose me atyou know, like that's a shit
(09:38):
statement and I'm like all right, uh, nobody will ever convince,
or you know I'll.
I'll never change my opinion.
Tiger woods, the greatestgolfer ever.
Shit, shit opinion, uh oh yeah,it's just.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
It's the same people that walk up to beth, page black
and don't read the warning sign.
They're like this is the worstgolf course ever.
You know same thing, same shit.
Like appreciate everything forwhat it is.
And you know, like, if andthat's what you were saying if
it makes you fucking putt betterthan fucking use it, you know
(10:11):
like and you were just you werebasically saying like get fit if
you can.
and I I had a comment, uh, whereI said you know, all he's
saying is is use a putter thatyou want to look down at, you
feel confident, and get fit Ifyou can use a wood stick and a
butter knife if it makes youputt better, like nobody cares
(10:34):
what you're putting with.
But the marketing don't buyinto something because of the
marketing.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
That's all you were saying really at the end of the
day?
Yeah, it's it's funny, man, itit really is funny it took a
little while, but then thepersonal attacks aren't coming.
When you know the, the, thekill them with kindness ideology
, the, the harsh attacks cameand I got uh, you know, this
dude wears laying leg warmersand sun sleeves which I I was
(11:03):
like it's kind of a weird thingto attack somebody on, but you
do.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
You're often an angry old man.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
They're not angry old men, they are compression
sleeves.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
You gotta keep your legs warm, you're still lounging
in a recliner and watchingFamily Feud, and you know
there's nothing wrong with that.
You're an angry old man.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Sitting on the porch yelling at the kids all day.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I said to that guy I go.
So did you call out CharlieHoffman when he got skin cancer
for wearing sun sleeves?
I'm like Jesus Christ man, youknow.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
What do you guys think about a lot of these guys'
arguments that the, the, their,the adoption on pga tour is so
massive?
It's not, they can't be wrong.
Okay, yeah, I mean, it's notwith you yeah, and the big, I
love it.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Oh, there's four-time masters champions that all won
without it and all switch to itnow and have it one sense yeah
the fowler.
Just just switch to it and he'sgonna have a great year.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah, he last won with the jailbird in his bag, so
yeah, it's like I think the Ithink like lucas glover was
pretty lost and oh yeah, I thinkthat's probably the best
example for them like and willzalatoris too, I mean zalatoris
was lost, I mean if you guysremember it.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Oh my god videos just wiggle.
Yeah, just those strikes yeahand hey, if it, if it helps,
will compete yeah, go for it, doit go for it, I don't have
whatever makes you better rockthat shit and do it, drop some
putts.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
But you know, like, just just find it if that's, if
that's lab, if that's a fuckingmini putter, that's a butter
knife.
Like I said, yeah, do whatworks for you.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
If it works for you, then fucking do it so the the
one of the things that reallylike was amazing to me um is the
people that reached out viaprivate message that I have like
a ton of respect for oh, yougot a lot of I'm sure I didn't
(13:22):
even think about that.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
You probably got a lot of messages oh well, there's
.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I mean you gotta, you gotta understand how the
industry is.
If, if somebody comes out andsays something against another
company, they're, they're gonnaget shit on and blacklisted.
So brands and people in thespace that their clientele,
maybe they, you know, somebodyuses a lab putter with them and
they can't say something thatthey, you know, truly feel
because it could affect theirbusiness.
(13:46):
And so you know, and I I wouldnever, ever say anything about
who sent stuff but like hey,shout out, cushman, he was, he
was in the comments and he'sbeen gone for a while and, uh,
he makes great putters and he,he was throwing some stuff out
there, which I appreciatedbecause he's a he's a craftsman
yeah, uh, but you know, when you, when you like, when you follow
(14:10):
somebody and and you, you havea respect for what they do and
and their opinions and their,their legacy in the golf space,
when they send you messages thatyou know just is like uplifting
and positive and theyunderstand that makes the 400
(14:32):
fucktards you know just pale incomparison.
It's like you guys don'tunderstand shit.
You want because thismotherfucker over here that you
know knows golf more than all ofus combined just gave me a pat
on the back, you know, and it,it's, it's that kind of stuff
(14:53):
that you know we don't see, wedon't get to share, um, so it's,
it's, it was, there was a lotof good that came out of it and,
uh, you know it, just truecolors come out from a lot of
people.
You know it's, it's, it's supereasy to have a private account
and bash people you don't wantto be that guy fine, you know I
(15:14):
I have my name on my profile.
You can I share my videos.
It's not like I'm hiding behinda desk, I'm on fucking youtube
weekly.
Uh, you know you search my gin.
You can see what I play.
You can see what I shoot.
You know I'm.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Did you order?
Simply Safe, simply Safe.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Welcome New sponsor of the show, Vivint Home.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Security.
So, now that you're a contentcreator, do you have?
Tacomos Do you have Tacomos onthe way.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Oh here let me show you my?
Let me show you my new lab.
No, I'm just kidding, no, no.
Yeah, that's hilarious, Jeremy.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I think that goes for the greater thing of like what
us four stand for.
It's not what your favoriteperson on YouTube is playing or
your favorite PGA Tour player isplaying.
We ride with what works for you.
Okay, the game of golf shouldfit your eye and you should
enjoy what you play.
When you look down at a club,you should enjoy looking at that
(16:18):
.
Whether it doesn't work for youat all, like that's your
decision to make.
Like I like looking down, Ilike a blade.
I probably shouldn't be playingblades because I don't play as
much anymore.
But the game of golf is sopersonal that don't follow the
trends, don't follow what otherpeople do.
(16:39):
Be yourself in the game.
That is truly you.
Like you're not playing againstanybody.
Enjoy your time out therebecause you don't get to do it
all the time.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Number one and number two so many rounds left in us.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
It's so personal, so like, don't follow people into
the trend or follow people intowhatever the.
The next thing upcoming is Findyou in the game, because it's
so personalized, and do that.
That's literally basically atthe heart of what you were
(17:14):
saying Find you in the game andfind yourself in your clubs.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yeah, you guys know, I mean I was like desperate
searching for a putter.
I I played.
I played roars his putter,wrote him a fucking letter and
backed out, backed out of that Iplayed the olsen.
I played the olsen vegas head.
I tried playing it.
I played the olsen long neck.
I stuck with that for a while.
(17:39):
Um, and then the the theyre-released the jailbird.
I said let me, I'm, I'm, giveit a shot.
I saw it in the store and it itjust set up really nice for me.
I played that for a while andyou know, because I track my
putting stats, because I know mytendencies, I was getting very
lazy with a face balanced putter.
(18:01):
It was just, you know, I needto, I need to feel the head in
the stroke.
And so, uh, working withpreston combs, uh, and figuring
out my, my posture and myputting stroke and what's most
beneficial for me.
You know, I went back to theblade and I was rolling the
(18:25):
Scotty really well, I won a VGNtournament with it.
I found that Odyssey, thatbrand new 12 year old Odyssey
putter.
That's gorgeous, I absolutelylove it.
Have had zero, zero plans ofchanging it and I got that
before I started working forCallaway.
Same thing with the firstjailbird I had way before I
started working Callaway Uh.
(18:46):
And then when we were at thethe putter release uh event for
the the Callaway staffers intown, I saw that slant neck.
I went Holy shit, the jailbirdwith towing yes.
And so I got to roll it at atHavasu and I was like no brainer
for me, you know, it'sabsolutely nothing to do with me
(19:07):
working for Callaway.
It has absolutely nothing to dowith anything other than when I
have that in my hand and I lookdown and I apply my putting
stroke, it feels fantastic andit sits well with me and that's
why One of the biggest thingsyou got to look down and feel
confident.
Yeah, if, if the first time Igrabbed that, if it, you know,
(19:28):
didn't have the toe hang anddidn't sit right, uh, no, I'd
still be playing the blade.
So play what you need to playyou know, one of my favorite
comments on the video was likeyou must play persimmons yeah,
and I, I was having fun withthat and I, I, you know, I I
tried to bring Lars into it, butit was, it was.
(19:48):
I was just trying to have funwith it, but you know I should
probably.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I told him.
I told him he must not have anysoul.
So yeah, man, it's funny dude.
And that's the thing about thegolf.
It's so personal it really is.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
So if you want to uh, have some fun, you know, go to
that post and read the commentsit'll.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
It takes a while because there's a bunch, yeah
but uh, I mean, lab was in thereand, and, and, like matt said,
there's there's nothing ill willtowards lab.
I mean, they, they're providing, providing a product towards a
sector of the market, you know,and they they created that and
it's doing well.
(20:31):
I mean, but just be consciousof what you're doing, understand
what's happening in your strokeand if it works for you, it
works for you that's it.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yep, I mean there's I don't know I I really want to
get preston on the show.
He's moving to florida, so he'sin the middle, uh, middle of a
big move.
Uh, so after he gets, uh, it'sjoey ripetti, stop yelling at
everyone, old angry man.
Uh, as soon as he gets his homebase set up in florida, uh, I'm
(21:07):
gonna try and get him on theshow and talk, because you know,
he helped me realize a lot ofthings that had nothing to do
with the putter.
Nothing to do with the putter.
This is pure comedy gold.
It'll take you a while, rob.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Rob says literally was going through the comments.
I'll have past five minutes.
This is pure golf, rob.
Yeah.
Rob says literally was goingthrough the comments the past
five minutes.
This is pure golf, comedy gold,yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
So we should.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Well, you know what?
What we'll do, what we'll do oh.
I don't know if Spieth's evergoing to go to a lab putter.
If Spieth goes to a lab putter,jeremy has to get one, jeremy
will play it for one round, andthen we can give it away to a
listener that chimes in withtheir favorite comment.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I would put money on that happening.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Yes, absolutely.
Oh, look at that.
A-rick is coming to Vegas.
Oh shit, Uh-oh.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Uh-oh, if anyone's looking for a circle teapot or
hit up eric.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I wish I was in the market for one eric.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Eric, did you even?
Did you see my video, did you I?
I hadn't heard nothing from youon it.

something.
You must have been a very busyman the past couple days.

Let me know if you're bringingyour sticks.
He's not bringing sticks.
He does not do that.

everything.
I think it's just, I think it'sactually just kind of cool that
you went viral, kind of youknow.
You know regardless, kind of youknow you know, regardless of
all the you know the negativityand all this stuff, I mean,
people just need to chill thefuck out.
But you know that's, that's howpeople are now.
You know everybody's.
That's what social media does.
(23:58):
It gives you a platform to benasty or to be, you know, nice.
So it is what it is with.
The good comes to bad, but yeahthat was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Pretty cool to see you go viral.
Thank you, sir matt boyd.
Have you heard of lab putters?
They're pretty cool, did yousee in his picture?
Look, he's swinging a labputter right there from the
teeth.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Yeah, I thought I thought it was funny.
I thought it was so funny.
Man, like, literally like my ifyou watch my video like it's a
genuine oh, because it's.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Oh, you were cracking up.
That's why I said, yes, posethat, that shit was very funny,
very funny so, uh, we'llprobably never, ever experience
something like that again, but Icould at least tell my kids hey
, I did something positive oninstagram once I don't know, I
(24:46):
don't know if you'd consider itpositive, but oh well, as far as
uh views, you got people, hey,you got hating.

(25:18):
said, yeah, I know it's it'sfunny.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I mean, social media itself is just so crazy because
they don't understand, like howentrenched in the world of golf
that you are, you know, and it'sjust like people fire shots and
it's just like a lot of thoseguys are, just like they don't
even know what they're talkingabout in the first place anyway,
and they're trying to call youout on things and it's that's
(25:42):
just that's social media, man,it's so funny dude, I baited
greenly.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Takes two months to get one when you order minimum
well, that's what somebodybrought up.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
that's, somebody brought that up and they said
like you know, they're givingputters to all these youtubers
or influencers, but I paid formy order and I have a 10 week
lead time, and so it's just.
It's just.
It's just interesting, man, itreally is, it's funny, it really
is.

Don't be bitch, don't be alittle b so uh want to talk
(27:02):
about these.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Uh, our, our buddy beds, uh, at travis matthew
shout out beds shout out beds.
Uh, this is not a golf shoe, nota golf shoe, this is a running
shoe.
And uh, I I have not fallen inlove with any of the travis
matthew golf shoes.
They're nice, just haven't doneit for me.
(27:26):
I told beds ever since I gotthis, I have not taken it off,
and if they can put a golf treadwhere this is, this will be a
fantastic golf shoe.
It's, it's very lightweight.
It's it's looks super spongy.
It's really not.
It's very stable, very firm.
But uh, yeah, I have not takenthese off.
(27:49):
It's the.
I gotta see I can I can'tremember the name of it either.
It's new age is is yeah, it'swhat it's called, um, here, it
is right here.
I'll bring it up there.
It is right there.
So it's the new age in you.
A, g, e, it is available now.
(28:09):
Uh, it is a absolutely fantasticrunning shoe.
Running shoe, this is a greatcaddy shoe.
This is a great.
Stand there and help peoplewith their swing as you're
fitting them to, which I haveworn nonstop.
So, um, shout out beds, shoutout travis matthew, put a golf
(28:34):
tread on that and you have awinning shoe.
In my opinion, it's.
It's very lightweight.
This is mesh, you know it'svery breathable?
Uh, it's, it's not.
I don't know.
I don't think it's waterproof.
Um, the golf shoe would have tobe waterproof, so they'll
probably change something aboutit.
I mean, it doesn't have to be.
They can do the water resistantlike, true, does um, but a
(28:56):
couple colors and varieties onthere.
So if you're looking for one,that is a.
That is a good one to look for.
All right, we got the labcovered, all right.
So, hey, um, the vgn our seasonkicks off saturday.
Uh, chatted up with maddie g.
He said uh, he's going to bebetter at giving us a hand more
(29:18):
now that the season started.
So, uh, let's bring in maddie gfor this weekend's forecast
what's up everybody?
Speaker 4 (29:26):
first our meteorologist, matt Contark, in
the Fox 5 First Alert WeatherCenter.
A big first tournament for theVGN to kick off the 2025 season
this upcoming Saturday at SienaGolf Club.
It's an 820 shotgun and you'llbe waking up to mid to upper 50s
, at least for the start of theround, under mostly sunny skies,
and light winds are expectedthroughout the day as well, and
by the end of the round, as youmake that second turn, we're
(29:48):
looking at sunny skies and upper60s.
So a fantastic forecast to kickoff the BGN season.
Good luck out there.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Boo-doo-doo.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
What a professional, what a professional.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
He says he's doing radio at 4.30 in the morning.
Now, wow.
He says he's doing radio at 430 in the morning now.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Wow so the the constant professional yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
So although I do need to change that, but I gotta get
that mustache picture that theyalways share on the news of him
.
I think that would be muchbetter representation of maddie
g than the the suit and eyestuffiness.
So I have to reach out to theFox News crew and see if they
can send that my way so we canuse that.
Hey, I see Stems Golf is in theIG chat.
(30:36):
They just released their newdivot tool, fantastic Single
prong.
It's nice, it's heavy.
I put a little video outyesterday showing it.
Well done man, well done.
I like it.
Like it great, great little.
I like a small, heavy divottool because you can feel it in
your pocket.
That's.
My favorite divot tool of alltime was super, super
(30:58):
lightweight titanium.
I had it forever and it fellout of my pocket at wild horse
yeah, it looks great.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
I mean it's got some weight to it, right?
Speaker 1 (31:06):
yeah, it's, it's 40 grams.
It's, it's it, it's got.
It's got some weight to it,right, yeah, it's 40 grams.
It's got a little beefiness toit.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
I feel like I've always loved the double prong,
but as I've matured as a golfer,I feel like I like the singles
more.
When you learn how to fix adivot better, a single feels
like hey, I know what I'm doingout here, you know what I mean.
Like a like a double prong islike oh, I could just stab this
(31:34):
shit.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
But like a like a single, you're like I'm creative
with this and I'm gonna fix itthe correct way and I put out
that post asking you know whatpeople like, single or double
and and it was, it was like 58,you know 14 to whatever it is.
So it was really close, a lotof votes, and and the the single
prong was was uh, I gotta postthe results of that.
(31:57):
I'll do that later.
Um, yeah, I, I've, I've been adouble prong guy wrong is classy
.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah, it is, you are.
You're right, single prong.
That just feels like you knowwhy you're out there and you
know what you're doing that'swhat I would say like I just
need this, I just need, I onlyneed one.
I only need one I don't knowwe're doing this because I fix
all my divots.
That's what.
That's what a single says.
I fix all my ball marks.
(32:25):
I just think a double is like Ifix most of them, but a single
I fix all mine.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
There it is, that's it right there uh that, that
southern highlands one, thatlittle plastic southern
highlands one I'm gonna find outwho made those for them and and
get some for the vgn, becausethose things are fantastic,
absolutely hands down.
A nickel divot tool, that isfantastic.
(32:53):
So I'm going to get some ofthose with either the VGN logo
or the Joker logo on them foreverybody.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
I just got to find out who's making them.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
So you type in plastic divot tool and there's
4,000 companies that come upthat are you know that put names
on cups.
But I want to find that acompany because those ones are
the bees knees.
All right, so a VGN tournament.
We got 72 players, good weather, good course.
Trey's been out there the pastcouple of days.
(33:26):
He said the greens arelightning fast, which is kind of
a rare thing for Siena, so I'mhappy to see that.
Did say they ran into asituation on the number six tee
box today that all the tee boxeswere under repair and they had
all the tee boxes at the edge ofthe fairway.
So I am playing there tomorrowwith the Tattoo Boys, kevin
(33:48):
Furness and Steven Jackson, andfind out if that's going to be
the case.
The Tattoo Boys.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
The Tattoo Boys.
Yeah, they're Tattoo Boys.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Yeah, so it should be a good time.
It'll be a little windytomorrow, but okay, I'll do that
.
You got it, isaiah, thanks.
So, yeah, 72 players, thepurses are going to be
outstanding.
I chatted up with Golf Geniusthis morning and did some
(34:23):
updating to the website.
This is something new thatwe're doing this year on the vgn
website.
There's a lot more publicinformation on the website now.
Everything the past coupleyears has kind of been in-house.
It was either on discord or inemails, so the public really
never got to see exactly whatwas going on within the league.
(34:43):
This year I've opened up a tonof information to the public so
people can can see the fieldsizes, see where we're playing,
see who's who's playing and whatflights.
Um, I I found out how to postthe pairings on the page now.
Uh, the leaderboard is going tobe live on the website so you
won't have to.
You know, search for golfgenius and try to find us.
(35:04):
You can just go to the vg andwebsite, go to the schedule,
click on leaderboard for theevent and see what's going on.
So, jeremy and dan, you guysaren't going to be there.
That's an easy way for you guysto check out what's going on in
the tournament.
Um, I'll be able to post thestandings, everything.
The the website is a one placefor everything.
Now the forum page is up forthe members so you can go on
(35:27):
there.
Uh, I've got a bunch ofdifferent topics in there.
People are starting to realizethat it's there.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Now it's gonna take a little time.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
It's gonna take a little time.
Um, you know, I a little bit ofpressure at the beginning, but
letting everybody figure it out,um, ton of people in the side
game, side games are.
They're gonna be great.
Uh, we got, I think, almosta,000 in gross skins for the net
guys, like $800, $900 for thenet skins.
There's only 10 guys that havebought into the gross skins in
(35:59):
the gross division, so that's$500, I think in that.
And then the CTPs.
What we're doing this year Idon't know if we've talked about
it on here or not, but uh, eachflight is going to have their
own hole for uh, the tournament.
Um, like the clubs, number 17,.
That is the par three for theirCTP, so they don't have to
(36:21):
worry about measuring oranything.
Just one hole that's theirs anduh, however many people enter,
that's going to be the prize.
So you know, we've got uh 21guys in this.
There's 25 players in thespades flight and 21 of them
entered the ctp.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
Someone's gonna win 200 bucks 210 bucks, big money,
big money for a t-shot, sothat's that's awesome, pretty
awesome and the more.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
The more people we get in, the better those will be
, so, uh, really looking forwardto it.
It's been a fun week.
Uh, it's been a lot of fungetting the website up to par.
Jeremy's been helping me withsome back-end stuff to help it
run a little bit moreefficiently and uh, yeah, it's,
it's.
Uh, it's going to be good andhopefully, with everybody having
(37:08):
access to that stuff, we'll beable to, you know, showcase what
we're doing a little bit moreso anybody got anything else you
guys want to talk about tglyeah, what the fuck are they
doing?
Speaker 3 (37:30):
Okay, jupiter is terrible man.
Jupiter team is awful.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
They're not good I don't?
Speaker 2 (37:37):
I mean, I feel like they just assume everybody has
President Day off.
Yeah, that was odd.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
I totally forgot there was a three-banger on.
I mean, we were out doingshopping Emma's in town, so we
were hanging out with her.
We were going shopping.
Doing was odd, I totally forgotthere was a three-banger on.
I mean, we were out doingshopping Emma's in town, so we
were hanging out with her, wewere going shopping, doing
different things and yeah,completely forgot about it.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
I mean, how are they going to?
Like I feel like they're tryingto dictate the days off.
I should have?
You know what I mean.
Like oh, I need to get off at 4pm on tuesday that's not
possible oh I need to havepresident's day off.
I, I can't have president's dayoff.
I just, you know, I just feellike the fucking schedule is
(38:18):
just all fucked.
But, um, I do love watching it,I really do.
But like it's just fucking inin next week there's like
there's like a double headernext week and then there's like
there's like two rounds onmonday and then there's a round
on tuesday.
Like I think they need tofigure that shit out, because
it's just like I want to watchbut I can't.
(38:41):
I can't watch everythingbecause you guys are fucking
scatterbrained.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
You know what I mean yeah uh, yeah, the the tiger,
you know 99 from 199 was.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
I feel like.
I feel like that was set up, doyou?
Speaker 1 (38:55):
guys feel like you.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
I feel like it was a little set up well, this is what
I'm thinking, if we're out ofthe interesting I mean it's a
par four.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
uh, he, he'd have to have hit a 400-yard drive to
have 99 in.
So that's a little Now.
Tiger is kind of in a differentmental state right now, so I'll
give him a little bit of areprieve.
You know he did have the lossof his mother recently, so I'm
sure his mind isn't 100% onplaying sim golf with the boys.
But it's par 4, and you justhit, driver, you're really going
(39:26):
to have 99 in.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
That's why I feel like it was a little set up, but
we do that all the time on thecourse.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
If we're out past 100 yards, what's the yardage?
Oh, it's 55.
If you're at the 150 marker ona golf course and you say, well,
how far are we out?
We're 55.
So you know it's 155.
So when they say, know, we're55.
So you know, you know it's 155.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
Right.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
That's how they.
That's how.
So, when they say 99, they'retelling them 199,.
But he's in a simulator andhe's hitting to a screen.
You know 40 feet in front ofhim, so yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
I don't know.
I feel like he would, I feellike he wouldn't know, and I
think it would like they weren'tgoing to win, that it was like
a ploy, like it was a gimmick.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
so I don't know Joe's calling for the script.
Joe wants to see the scriptconspiracy, let's go.
Tgl conspiracy.
That is some master thoughtsright there, joe because he hit
it.
99 on the dot is what they saidoh yeah, they told me 99, I hit
it 99.
Yeah, and you've only gotgreens, you know, six times in
(40:34):
this, so exactly right yeah,yeah, that's the thing, bro.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
I feel like it was.
I feel like they were so fardown that they fixed that to
make it a moment to where wastiger's moment.
You that you know like tryingto create some buzz, so I don't
know.
Too funny.
I mean he has a simulator inhis house, right like he's
(40:59):
played golf on a simulatorbefore he.
Oh yeah, he should be able tounderstand like he's further
than 99 yards out just by whatthe screen is.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
You should be able to 99 yards out.
I don't know, joe, you may haveconvinced me.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
I mean, you know, they need viewership, they need
people, they need some buzz.
So tinfoil, get my tinfoil, getyour tinfoil.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
I need my foil.
You could use it for a puttercover for a lab, all right.
So, uh, jeremy, you got stuffgoing on with your kid, with
basketball, dan, you got work.
Is that why you can't play?
Speaker 3 (41:44):
yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
Yeah, freaking work.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
Always something.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
But hey, I'm happy about the weather.

Looking forward to getting outthere tomorrow seeing how it
would play with the new driver.
I've just hit it at HighlandFalls on the range.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
it's a sunday.
I think it's sunday.
No, I think it's a wednesday.
That's taco tuesday.

That's one odd thing thatRoberto's does is tacos.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
March 2nd is a Sunday , oh, okay, well, we're not
going to do a podcast on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
We need a Roberto sponsorship.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
I'm going to work on that Right there, roberto's Taco
Shop, the official taco of CDP.
There we go.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
B and C.
Yeah, there roberto's taco shop, the official taco of cdp.
There we go b and c.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Yeah, the don tortaco was pretty good.
Did I send you that picture?
Speaker 2 (43:35):
don tortaco is fantastic.
They have the best salsa in myvicinity, so that's why I go
there.
Um, there's so many factors inMexican food and it requires
beans.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
Wait, hold on, let's stop now.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
Yeah, we won't go there.
I haven't had any in a longtime.
Speaker 1 (43:54):
Joe's going to have his own show.
Welcome to the Hidden GreensBean and Cheese Hour.
That's my Roberto's.
And soul.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
I mean, salsa is key, right, you can't have a watery
salsa, and most robertos havewatery salsa, so yeah, I used to
love the uh the green sauce atuh fostos that was good stuff.
But that's the thing, man,you're, you are.
It's everywhere is different.
Like I can go to don't talkover here and it's different
(44:25):
from don't talk over there.
That was good stuff, but that'sthe thing, man, everywhere is
different.
I can go to Don Tortoco overhere and it's different from Don
Tortoco over there.
So it's like even the one by methey make a habanero chopped up
joint.
So it's like because the cookswant something hotter, so they
make a big batch.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
Yes, do you have any Roberto's questions?
Please send them to.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
Joe Roberto's podcast coming soon.
Speaker 1 (44:54):
That is hilarious and we know you do.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
I did wear my Roberto's T-shirt the other day
to a four-year-old's birthdaythat I took my son to, and
nobody complimented me.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
I was kind of bummed because they probably thought
you picked it up at a thriftstore they're like do you work
at roberto's?
Or you work there, yeah youhave a child can you go get some
chips and salsa how do you payfor daycare?
Roberto's, is it's?
It's at another level, it's,you know, it's st taco bell yeah
(45:29):
no torpedoes over this bitch.
Speaker 2 (45:33):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
It's true, uh, is anybody that's listening?
Uh, either on twitter, youtube,instagram.
Does anybody have any questionsfor us or anything we haven't
done like a listener questionthing?
I don't think ever.
I don't know how many peopleare still hanging.
(45:55):
We probably lost half thelistenership with the Roberto's
taco talk, but no, rob, I thinkRob's still there, just weeding
out the people that don't matter.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
Yeah, just kidding.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
You don't like, roberto, let's get out of here.
We'll have to do a.
You know we'll tease a Q&A.
Speaker 2 (46:15):
We should do a send your questions and kind of thing
.
Yeah, we got to.
Speaker 1 (46:21):
The tour's in Mexico.
Right now, hey Blades Brown isplaying in a second event.
Harry's down there, whichcourse are they playing again.
Vedante Is that what it is.
Oh yeah, we didn't talk aboutLudwig winning at Tor tori.
(46:46):
The scores were a lot higherthan we thought.
We were wrong on that one.
I mean, after the first day itlooked like it was going to be
nasty, uh, but the weathercleared up and uh man I that
course looked so green, like, sogreen, like joe's background,
green, just so green fake, fakegreen it looked fake it.
(47:12):
I mean it was wow.
But uh, dan, would you want toplay tori and I?
Speaker 3 (47:19):
you're a baller you'll play it in any conditions
.
Speaker 1 (47:21):
But was that like yeah, especially like that, hell
yes yeah oh yeah, I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (47:27):
I mean, you're never going to play a course better,
in better shape than, like, theday after the week, after the
tours.
The tour is going to be therebecause it's going to go back to
muni shape until the next bigevent gets there yeah you know,
do you think?
That we played it in muni shape, though do you think that we
(47:50):
played it in uni shape though?
Yes, 100, yeah it was stilltough.
Speaker 2 (47:51):
It was still tough, yeah, it was still pretty
fucking good.
That's what I'm saying, thatrough.
Yeah, it was nasty around thegreens.
Speaker 1 (47:55):
God, how those guys hit those shots with accuracy is
unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (48:01):
Yeah, they're good man, those guys are good why
don't we talk about uh sandvalley just coming out of the
woodworks yesterday, big?
News yeah 12 horse where hasbgc been I I think uh designed
by jim craig, I think that's bgcwas in hawaii, I think yeah, I
(48:22):
know he went to hawaii, but he's.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
I mean he should have been on the show when he was in
Hawaii.
That's an even sooner day thannormal.
Speaker 2 (48:29):
You know what BGC stands for.
You know what BGC stands forBritish Columbia, guana and
Nicaragua.
He's just traveling all overthe world.
Speaker 1 (48:38):
It's all over the place.
No, that's BGN, sorry BCGN,british.
No, that's BGN, sorry BCGN.
Speaker 2 (48:45):
British Columbia, guana.
What's Guana Chile?
Speaker 3 (48:53):
I'm trying to say like Guano.
Speaker 1 (48:58):
Here we go.
Rob's coming through with aquestion.
How do we feel aboutreunification of live and PGA
players?
Should limited PGA field eventsbe expanded to larger fields,
if this happens?
Speaker 2 (49:11):
I think PGA Tour events should put rookies in to
try and find their way into thetour.
But yes, I think for thesignature events they need to
bring in the players that bringviewership in so that the
rookies that are coming up havea pathway to build their career
(49:34):
boom yeah, yeah, the.
Speaker 1 (49:37):
The best players in the world need to play on one
place they need to play in one.
Speaker 2 (49:42):
Do you think they're the best players in the world
anymore?
I think that's where it can geta little iffy, because it's
like are they the?
Best players in the world orare they the players with the
biggest names in the world?
But I still think the biggestnames in the world should play
together.
Speaker 1 (50:02):
I mean Bryson showed us that he can still game.
He won the US Open last yearyear.
Uh, you know he's not.
He's not not a great player hedoes.
You know, not every greatplayer has it every weekend,
like tiger did in the you knowlate 90s.
Speaker 2 (50:16):
But well, your peers with him, now your content
creators.
Speaker 1 (50:20):
So I mean I'll just I'll have to send him a message
and ask him.
You know, what do you say?
Hey T, what do you think?
Speaker 3 (50:28):
you know, I think there's been a pretty good drop
off on the quality of play.
Yeah, bryson has, you know,stepped his game up.
He's won a major, and all thatsince Brooks is still, you know,
contending when he came backover.
But you don't hear anythingfrom Dustin Johnson, hardly
anymore.
(50:48):
Rom has been somewhatsuccessful, but he hasn't really
contended in any of the majorsthat he's played in.
Joaquin Neiman's played verywell, yes, he has.
So it would be good to have himback.
But I feel like a lot of thoseguys because they got paid so
much damn money to go over tothat event that they're not
(51:10):
hungry to play good golf anymore.
They've got the money.
They don't give a fuck if theyshoot 75, 74, 72 in the
tournaments anymore, becausethey don't need to work hard to
stay on tour to keep their cardand shit like that anymore.
You know, when you look on touryou see all these new young
guys.
You're like who the fuck arethese guys?
And they're so good becausethey don't have shit.
They don't have that they don'thave 150 million dollars
(51:32):
sitting in the bank.
You know they're still workingto make a name for themselves.
So I think it'd be good to geta lot of those guys back.
But I think a lot of them, youknow, just like I said, move the
money that they've made.
The drive is gone and they justkind of go through the motions
out there and you probably won'tsee a lot of those guys win too
much anymore.
Speaker 1 (51:51):
Yeah, I was watching the Australia event because it
was on, you know, because it waslike primetime for us, and so I
was watching it and they werefollowing the Bryson group.
That's how I knew he threeputted when he drove, you know
the 400 and something yard driveto the green.
That's how I knew he threeputted, because I was watching
(52:11):
it and I was like I haven't seenDJ one time.
I haven't seen like Paul Casey.
I haven't seen Lee Westwood.
I don't even know if PhilMickelson was playing.
I saw Sergio one time.
It was just like all the bignames that you would think that
they would be pushing on thetelecast because they're all
playing at the same time,because that's what the big
(52:35):
difference was All the guys areon the courts at the same time.
We'll get to see all theseshots.
I saw Bubba a couple times, butit was like they were really
focused on Bryson, brysonryson,bryson, bryson, bryson, bryson.
He is the face of live rightnow, at least as the broadcast
goes.
And I and also I was I was alittle disappointed with fox
(52:55):
sports because, you know, whenthey took over the us open
footage, everybody like jumpedon their shit because oh,
there's so many graphics andthere's, you know, so many
different things on the screenyeah, pylon and they.
All they did was just move itfrom one station to another.
They.
There was nothing new.
(53:15):
The you know I don't need amicrophone graphic on the screen
when the caddy and the playersare talking saying live mic.
Yeah, I know, because I'mlistening to them.
You don't need to display ablinking live mic.
I, I don't know.
There's, there's some.
Speaker 2 (53:32):
Uh, I mean, I think there's many issues with golf
broadcasts.
Yeah, totally right.
So, but I do, I do, I do feelthat sentiment where I think
some of these guys will comeback and they won't be their
same, their same self.
When we saw them last time,rob's follow-up how many live
(53:52):
players are competitive.
Speaker 1 (53:53):
Back on the pga tour right now.
I think he named it.
I think it's bryson brooks,maybe rom, if he finds it.
Speaker 2 (54:00):
I think rom walking, walking, grinding across the
world like he's been.
He's been grinding and tryingto get his points.
Speaker 1 (54:08):
So matt wolf.
Where's matt wolf is nowhere tobe found, I mean I think I'm
supposed to be back that'sanother one.
I didn't see that.
You know he was resting to beone of the top players in the
world yeah, he was on aprecipice man and yeah, I think
he's won one live event, hasn't?
Speaker 3 (54:28):
he yeah?
Speaker 1 (54:30):
yeah, I think so that's.
Uh, that's the thing, bro, likeI'm sorry love playing golf.
Speaker 2 (54:37):
I mean, they just want to fish.
Nowadays I don't get it at yourevent.
Speaker 1 (54:42):
I'll be thinking of you guys look out and see snow
and ice where I live, but springis near, enjoy the snow 50 days
, masters, 50 days it's coming.
Yeah, rom dropped out of thetop 50 because he's not playing
in events where he gets worldrankings.
That's just a matter of time,you know.
Speaker 2 (54:59):
And it didn't help that he's didn't perform well in
the majors, so and just thinkof all this time that they
haven't seen these up-and-comerscoming.
I mean, we don't know theseup-and-comer names yet, but they
are the up-and-comers of golfand how many of these guys would
not be there if live.
Speaker 3 (55:17):
Yeah, wasn't you know , I mean you're seeing new names
each week and these guys aresticks, sticks man I will say
this, though, too like you know,personal lives will also have a
little bit to play in there.
I mean, a lot of those guys arein baby making mode right now,
like rom's got what?
Three kids now under four yearsold, something like that, or at
(55:37):
least two.
Um, you know, speith, ricky,all those guys they're working
on families, they got young kids.
Jt just had a baby, you know.
So I think a lot, of a lot ofthe lack of success from the big
name guys like that, like youthought, you know we're going to
come in and just be, you know,just killers all year long, just
(55:58):
right now, just personal lifeand other shit's kind of getting
in the way and taking precedent.
So I think that could have alittle bit to do with yeah,
that's true reason why a lot ofthese guys aren't, you know,
winning as much as they.
Speaker 1 (56:07):
It's not on the, it's not on the forefront anymore,
it's it's like third now yeah,you got family you got your your
wealth and your your future andoh yeah, I mean I could.
Speaker 2 (56:20):
I could have won every bgn tournament last year
if I didn't have kids.
You, you know.
Speaker 1 (56:24):
I get it, I get it Totally.
Speaker 2 (56:26):
Yeah, really understand.
Speaker 1 (56:28):
That's a kids, so I guess.
Speaker 2 (56:30):
Yeah, kids, yeah I would.
I would have won everytournament last year.
Speaker 3 (56:33):
Totally, john, you could have had all the time, all
the time you take away, allthat time of being a dad and
just put Exactly, and that'swhat I've.
Speaker 2 (56:42):
that's what I've been saying.
That's what I've been saying,katie the kids I'm like if you
guys weren't here like I wouldbe a baller.
Speaker 1 (56:51):
Oh, rob has said that his five-year-old daughter
ruined his putting stroke.
Are you trying to tell us thatyou're going to a lab?
Is that?
Is that how you're saying nowhat he's?
Speaker 2 (57:01):
saying is he'd probably be world number one
right now.
Speaker 1 (57:04):
Oh I know, but I just think it's funny that I mean he
could say, yeah, my daughterrun my golf game too but he
specifically said ruined myputting stroke Rob was perennial
king of the green and now it'sjust out the window.
Out the window.
Speaker 4 (57:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (57:29):
Do you use YouTube to get viewers using bryson?
Does?
Does love use youtube to getviewers using bryson?
Yeah, oh does live.
Speaker 3 (57:35):
Use youtube to give you oh yeah, absolutely they do.
Speaker 1 (57:38):
Yeah, they're riding them coattails for sure.
Oh, I mean, they brought inrick shields to help get views
yeah, I mean, I mean Bryson'sthe hottest thing in golf
currently.
He's making a name for himself.
Speaker 2 (57:52):
Good for him, good for them Making a name for
himself.
Good for everybody.
Speaker 1 (57:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (57:56):
Yeah, it is.
If you put a lab and it worksfor you, good for you.
If you have a lab and itdoesn't work for you, find
something else.

You should have just you mightnot have gotten many views, but
if you did that at first likepeople, they couldn't say
anything.
Speaker 1 (58:49):
But look how close the second putter on there, the
top one, the second one.
Look how close that this one isto that.
No, you did it perfectly, wedon't have to.

So, uh, yeah, here's boyschiming in hola, my role, uh,
hola my role um, what up, whatup?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
derrick?
Derrick's in the house.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah, golfing with dad so I I was out back putting
the other day and, um, so, forsome context, for some context,
this is what sparked everything.
Right, right, this is a video,a little something, a graphic
(02:30):
thing that Lab Golf and ClubChampion put together.
Yeah, all right, what yourputter is trying to do?
Okay, I have never been a fanof the Revealer.
I don't, I don't For me it just.
You know, that's not how weputt.
I don't think you need toshowcase zero torque.
(02:52):
You can tell people what it is.
You can show your putter in itwhat it does.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I just don't like the fact that they grab every other
putter manufacturer in theworld and say, look at what this
does.
I mean, could you, could youimagine, like the club cover,
the putter manufacturer in theworld and say, look at what this
does, we don't.
Could you, could you imagine,like the club cover, the putter
cover that the revealer wouldhave in your bag?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
it'd be, oh joe, disgusting it would be huge, uh,
huge.
So, uh, I was out back puttingand, uh, I grabbed my phone and
I said I did this versus what'sactually happening.
Oh, it didn't start, oh.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
First part here we go , holy shit.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I think you didn't have a new port in your hand.
Yeah oh man all right and so itwas one take and people called
me out on that.
Uh, so I I shared the the fulllength.
You know that's like I don'tknow, two and a half seconds
longer than that one.
I just edited to make it looknicer.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Uh, I will say absolutely fantastic take by you
.
Like it's so, it's so good.
It really is like amazing whatyou showcased in that and so
many people are so butthurt onit and you weren't saying
anything bad, like it's such agood take and uh, I I think you,
(04:22):
you know, sometimes you juststrike gold and I think that was
gold.
I I really do.
It was really really well done.
Uh, you're not saying anythingabout the putter, really, you're
just saying that's what youknow contraptions you don't putt
with a contraption, okay, youputt with your hands.
So I, I thought it was great.
(04:43):
I, I loved it no, I.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I got called everything from a 20 handicap to
a, an idiot, a moron to acallaway sponsored golfer to
callaway oh yeah, I will agreewith yeah, oh, I am.
I am an angry old man, uh.
But yeah, callaway sponsor, Idid it for rage bait.
I had to ask my kid.
I'm like, what the fuck is ragebait?
(05:07):
never heard uh, yeah, that's andshe's like oh, that's when you
create something just to getpeople pissed off on purpose.
I'm like oh shit all right, itwas kind of funny, but it was
unintentional rage bait, uh.
But you know, then lab came inand chimed in, and then when lab
chimed in, all the fanboys andthen it just went fucking nuts,
(05:29):
it went crazy.
And you know, I was having alot of fun with the comments, uh
, and I sent a message to TylerMunns and I said I go, hey, I am
nowhere nearly as gifted as youare to responding to, you know,
dwellers and, uh, privateaccounts, but I, a couple times
I had in my brain, you know,what would tyler do?
(05:52):
He said and I had, I had, I waswalking around smiling all day
because it was so freaking funny.
The hate that I mean it's, it'sfucking social media people,
it's a putter.
Oh you, odyssey bandwagoner, ohyou, you get paid by calloway
and oh, you know, and just likegood lord, you know.
(06:12):
And then steven was over here,steven jackson, who everybody
knows, a very highly talentedtattoo artist here in town, huge
lab fanboy, huge lab fanboy,and we were talking about it for
a while last night and he'slike dude, it was fucking
hilarious, you know.
And he's like people just losetheir mind and oh my god yeah,
(06:33):
it was great, I loved it, it wasperfect, perfect, take.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I mean it's very, very good.
I mean you didn't put anythought into that and it just
came to you naturally and that'swhat came out, and it's.
It's great, it really is.
That's what Steven said.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
He goes, he goes, do that.
That was like 17 seconds andit's just blown up.
Yeah, it's so funny.
So I will say this for therecord I have nothing against
lab golf, absolutely nothingagainst lab golf whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Absolutely nothing against lab golf whatsoever if a
lab putter makes you enjoy thegame more.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Go rock that shit, go rock it.
Uh, if, if that's what youbelieve you need in your bag to
play this game, better, by allmeans, man, do it.
Good lord, never would I tellanybody don't play something
that they think is going to helpthem.
Good grief, I have nothingagainst them.
I have nothing against their,their what they're doing.
(07:31):
I just think the revealer isabsolutely nonsense.
And the fact that they use itas a selling tool, uh, it's just
, you know, we putt with ourhands on the club, not a
revealer, and we putt with athree-mile-an-hour stroke on a
15-foot putt.
So, and that's what I said, youknow, one guy commented because
(07:55):
I start, you got to read the.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
The first stroke looked just like the contraption
.
It did.
It really did.
It was really well done.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
That's what Steven said.
He goes dude.
I was impressed you did thatone handed.
How did you do that?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I think I think I think what you did also like it
gives a big microscope to whatsocial media golf is and people
don't really understand themessage.
I think that's the bigger issuehere is nobody read the caption
.
Nobody really understands thepoint of the video and that's
where, on putts and if, or aputter, if you're buying the
(08:48):
putter based on a video of acontraption that your putters in
is just trash.
It's bullshit like that makesno sense.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
so I think people just need to pay attention more
and and that's where we're atread, read, and you know and I'm
at fault for that because youknow, I, I know I don't read
everything and I should um, it'stough when there's so much
engagement and videos in yourface and you want to see the
next one and and I get it.
But you know, I said in there,I, you, no one's gonna change my
(09:17):
mind if you can't control theclub face with a putter on a
three mile an hour swing.
The putter is not the problem,sorry, and you know, somebody
indian out there, I'll, I'llI'll never uh, you know when you
start off with, I'll neverchange my opinion.
That's where I you lose me atyou know, like that's a shit
(09:38):
statement and I'm like all right, uh, nobody will ever convince,
or you know I'll.
I'll never change my opinion.
Tiger woods, the greatestgolfer ever.
Shit, shit opinion, uh oh yeah,it's just.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
It's the same people that walk up to beth, page black
and don't read the warning sign.
They're like this is the worstgolf course ever.
You know same thing, same shit.
Like appreciate everything forwhat it is.
And you know, like, if andthat's what you were saying if
it makes you fucking putt betterthan fucking use it, you know
(10:11):
like and you were just you werebasically saying like get fit if
you can.
and I I had a comment, uh, whereI said you know, all he's
saying is is use a putter thatyou want to look down at, you
feel confident, and get fit Ifyou can use a wood stick and a
butter knife if it makes youputt better, like nobody cares
(10:34):
what you're putting with.
But the marketing don't buyinto something because of the
marketing.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
That's all you were saying really at the end of the
day?
Yeah, it's it's funny, man, itit really is funny it took a
little while, but then thepersonal attacks aren't coming.
When you know the, the, thekill them with kindness ideology
, the, the harsh attacks cameand I got uh, you know, this
dude wears laying leg warmersand sun sleeves which I I was
(11:03):
like it's kind of a weird thingto attack somebody on, but you
do.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
You're often an angry old man.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
They're not angry old men, they are compression
sleeves.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
You gotta keep your legs warm, you're still lounging
in a recliner and watchingFamily Feud, and you know
there's nothing wrong with that.
You're an angry old man.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Sitting on the porch yelling at the kids all day.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I said to that guy I go.
So did you call out CharlieHoffman when he got skin cancer
for wearing sun sleeves?
I'm like Jesus Christ man, youknow.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
What do you guys think about a lot of these guys'
arguments that the, the, their,the adoption on pga tour is so
massive?
It's not, they can't be wrong.
Okay, yeah, I mean, it's notwith you yeah, and the big, I
love it.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Oh, there's four-time masters champions that all won
without it and all switch to itnow and have it one sense yeah
the fowler.
Just just switch to it and he'sgonna have a great year.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah, he last won with the jailbird in his bag, so
yeah, it's like I think the Ithink like lucas glover was
pretty lost and oh yeah, I thinkthat's probably the best
example for them like and willzalatoris too, I mean zalatoris
was lost, I mean if you guysremember it.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Oh my god videos just wiggle.
Yeah, just those strikes yeahand hey, if it, if it helps,
will compete yeah, go for it, doit go for it, I don't have
whatever makes you better rockthat shit and do it, drop some
putts.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
But you know, like, just just find it if that's, if
that's lab, if that's a fuckingmini putter, that's a butter
knife.
Like I said, yeah, do whatworks for you.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
If it works for you, then fucking do it so the the
one of the things that reallylike was amazing to me um is the
people that reached out viaprivate message that I have like
a ton of respect for oh, yougot a lot of I'm sure I didn't
(13:22):
even think about that.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
You probably got a lot of messages oh well, there's
.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I mean you gotta, you gotta understand how the
industry is.
If, if somebody comes out andsays something against another
company, they're, they're gonnaget shit on and blacklisted.
So brands and people in thespace that their clientele,
maybe they, you know, somebodyuses a lab putter with them and
they can't say something thatthey, you know, truly feel
because it could affect theirbusiness.
(13:46):
And so you know, and I I wouldnever, ever say anything about
who sent stuff but like hey,shout out, cushman, he was, he
was in the comments and he'sbeen gone for a while and, uh,
he makes great putters and he,he was throwing some stuff out
there, which I appreciatedbecause he's a he's a craftsman
yeah, uh, but you know, when you, when you like, when you follow
(14:10):
somebody and and you, you havea respect for what they do and
and their opinions and their,their legacy in the golf space,
when they send you messages thatyou know just is like uplifting
and positive and theyunderstand that makes the 400
(14:32):
fucktards you know just pale incomparison.
It's like you guys don'tunderstand shit.
You want because thismotherfucker over here that you
know knows golf more than all ofus combined just gave me a pat
on the back, you know, and it,it's, it's that kind of stuff
(14:53):
that you know we don't see, wedon't get to share, um, so it's,
it's, it was, there was a lotof good that came out of it and,
uh, you know it, just truecolors come out from a lot of
people.
You know it's, it's, it's supereasy to have a private account
and bash people you don't wantto be that guy fine, you know I
(15:14):
I have my name on my profile.
You can I share my videos.
It's not like I'm hiding behinda desk, I'm on fucking youtube
weekly.
Uh, you know you search my gin.
You can see what I play.
You can see what I shoot.
You know I'm.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Did you order?
Simply Safe, simply Safe.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Welcome New sponsor of the show, Vivint Home.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Security.
So, now that you're a contentcreator, do you have?
Tacomos Do you have Tacomos onthe way.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Oh here let me show you my?
Let me show you my new lab.
No, I'm just kidding, no, no.
Yeah, that's hilarious, Jeremy.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I think that goes for the greater thing of like what
us four stand for.
It's not what your favoriteperson on YouTube is playing or
your favorite PGA Tour player isplaying.
We ride with what works for you.
Okay, the game of golf shouldfit your eye and you should
enjoy what you play.
When you look down at a club,you should enjoy looking at that
(16:18):
.
Whether it doesn't work for youat all, like that's your
decision to make.
Like I like looking down, Ilike a blade.
I probably shouldn't be playingblades because I don't play as
much anymore.
But the game of golf is sopersonal that don't follow the
trends, don't follow what otherpeople do.
(16:39):
Be yourself in the game.
That is truly you.
Like you're not playing againstanybody.
Enjoy your time out therebecause you don't get to do it
all the time.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Number one and number two so many rounds left in us.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
It's so personal, so like, don't follow people into
the trend or follow people intowhatever the.
The next thing upcoming is Findyou in the game, because it's
so personalized, and do that.
That's literally basically atthe heart of what you were
(17:14):
saying Find you in the game andfind yourself in your clubs.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yeah, you guys know, I mean I was like desperate
searching for a putter.
I I played.
I played roars his putter,wrote him a fucking letter and
backed out, backed out of that Iplayed the olsen.
I played the olsen vegas head.
I tried playing it.
I played the olsen long neck.
I stuck with that for a while.
(17:39):
Um, and then the the theyre-released the jailbird.
I said let me, I'm, I'm, giveit a shot.
I saw it in the store and it itjust set up really nice for me.
I played that for a while andyou know, because I track my
putting stats, because I know mytendencies, I was getting very
lazy with a face balanced putter.
(18:01):
It was just, you know, I needto, I need to feel the head in
the stroke.
And so, uh, working withpreston combs, uh, and figuring
out my, my posture and myputting stroke and what's most
beneficial for me.
You know, I went back to theblade and I was rolling the
(18:25):
Scotty really well, I won a VGNtournament with it.
I found that Odyssey, thatbrand new 12 year old Odyssey
putter.
That's gorgeous, I absolutelylove it.
Have had zero, zero plans ofchanging it and I got that
before I started working forCallaway.
Same thing with the firstjailbird I had way before I
started working Callaway Uh.
(18:46):
And then when we were at thethe putter release uh event for
the the Callaway staffers intown, I saw that slant neck.
I went Holy shit, the jailbirdwith towing yes.
And so I got to roll it at atHavasu and I was like no brainer
for me, you know, it'sabsolutely nothing to do with me
(19:07):
working for Callaway.
It has absolutely nothing to dowith anything other than when I
have that in my hand and I lookdown and I apply my putting
stroke, it feels fantastic andit sits well with me and that's
why One of the biggest thingsyou got to look down and feel
confident.
Yeah, if, if the first time Igrabbed that, if it, you know,
(19:28):
didn't have the toe hang anddidn't sit right, uh, no, I'd
still be playing the blade.
So play what you need to playyou know, one of my favorite
comments on the video was likeyou must play persimmons yeah,
and I, I was having fun withthat and I, I, you know, I I
tried to bring Lars into it, butit was, it was.
(19:48):
I was just trying to have funwith it, but you know I should
probably.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I told him.
I told him he must not have anysoul.
So yeah, man, it's funny dude.
And that's the thing about thegolf.
It's so personal it really is.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
So if you want to uh, have some fun, you know, go to
that post and read the commentsit'll.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
It takes a while because there's a bunch, yeah
but uh, I mean, lab was in thereand, and, and, like matt said,
there's there's nothing ill willtowards lab.
I mean, they, they're providing, providing a product towards a
sector of the market, you know,and they they created that and
it's doing well.
(20:31):
I mean, but just be consciousof what you're doing, understand
what's happening in your strokeand if it works for you, it
works for you that's it.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yep, I mean there's I don't know I I really want to
get preston on the show.
He's moving to florida, so he'sin the middle, uh, middle of a
big move.
Uh, so after he gets, uh, it'sjoey ripetti, stop yelling at
everyone, old angry man.
Uh, as soon as he gets his homebase set up in florida, uh, I'm
(21:07):
gonna try and get him on theshow and talk, because you know,
he helped me realize a lot ofthings that had nothing to do
with the putter.
Nothing to do with the putter.
This is pure comedy gold.
It'll take you a while, rob.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Rob says literally was going through the comments.
I'll have past five minutes.
This is pure golf, rob.
Yeah.
Rob says literally was goingthrough the comments the past
five minutes.
This is pure golf, comedy gold,yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
So we should.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Well, you know what?
What we'll do, what we'll do oh.
I don't know if Spieth's evergoing to go to a lab putter.
If Spieth goes to a lab putter,jeremy has to get one, jeremy
will play it for one round, andthen we can give it away to a
listener that chimes in withtheir favorite comment.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I would put money on that happening.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Yes, absolutely.
Oh, look at that.
A-rick is coming to Vegas.
Oh shit, Uh-oh.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Uh-oh, if anyone's looking for a circle teapot or

(27:02):
about these.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Uh, our, our buddy beds, uh, at travis matthew
shout out beds shout out beds.
Uh, this is not a golf shoe, nota golf shoe, this is a running
shoe.
And uh, I I have not fallen inlove with any of the travis
matthew golf shoes.
They're nice, just haven't doneit for me.
(27:26):
I told beds ever since I gotthis, I have not taken it off,
and if they can put a golf treadwhere this is, this will be a
fantastic golf shoe.
It's, it's very lightweight.
It's it's looks super spongy.
It's really not.
It's very stable, very firm.
But uh, yeah, I have not takenthese off.
(27:49):
It's the.
I gotta see I can I can'tremember the name of it either.
It's new age is is yeah, it'swhat it's called, um, here, it
is right here.
I'll bring it up there.
It is right there.
So it's the new age in you.
A, g, e, it is available now.
(28:09):
Uh, it is a absolutely fantasticrunning shoe.
Running shoe, this is a greatcaddy shoe.
This is a great.
Stand there and help peoplewith their swing as you're
fitting them to, which I haveworn nonstop.
So, um, shout out beds, shoutout travis matthew, put a golf
(28:34):
tread on that and you have awinning shoe.
In my opinion, it's.
It's very lightweight.
This is mesh, you know it'svery breathable?
Uh, it's, it's not.
I don't know.
I don't think it's waterproof.
Um, the golf shoe would have tobe waterproof, so they'll
probably change something aboutit.
I mean, it doesn't have to be.
They can do the water resistantlike, true, does um, but a
(28:56):
couple colors and varieties onthere.
So if you're looking for one,that is a.
That is a good one to look for.
All right, we got the labcovered, all right.
So, hey, um, the vgn our seasonkicks off saturday.
Uh, chatted up with maddie g.
He said uh, he's going to bebetter at giving us a hand more
(29:18):
now that the season started.
So, uh, let's bring in maddie gfor this weekend's forecast
what's up everybody?
Speaker 4 (29:26):
first our meteorologist, matt Contark, in
the Fox 5 First Alert WeatherCenter.
A big first tournament for theVGN to kick off the 2025 season
this upcoming Saturday at SienaGolf Club.
It's an 820 shotgun and you'llbe waking up to mid to upper 50s
, at least for the start of theround, under mostly sunny skies,
and light winds are expectedthroughout the day as well, and
by the end of the round, as youmake that second turn, we're
(29:48):
looking at sunny skies and upper60s.
So a fantastic forecast to kickoff the BGN season.
Good luck out there.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Boo-doo-doo.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
What a professional, what a professional.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
He says he's doing radio at 4.30 in the morning.
Now, wow.
He says he's doing radio at 430 in the morning now.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Wow so the the constant professional yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
So although I do need to change that, but I gotta get
that mustache picture that theyalways share on the news of him
.
I think that would be muchbetter representation of maddie
g than the the suit and eyestuffiness.
So I have to reach out to theFox News crew and see if they
can send that my way so we canuse that.
Hey, I see Stems Golf is in theIG chat.
(30:36):
They just released their newdivot tool, fantastic Single
prong.
It's nice, it's heavy.
I put a little video outyesterday showing it.
Well done man, well done.
I like it.
Like it great, great little.
I like a small, heavy divottool because you can feel it in
your pocket.
That's.
My favorite divot tool of alltime was super, super
(30:58):
lightweight titanium.
I had it forever and it fellout of my pocket at wild horse
yeah, it looks great.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
I mean it's got some weight to it, right?
Speaker 1 (31:06):
yeah, it's, it's 40 grams.
It's, it's it, it's got.
It's got some weight to it,right, yeah, it's 40 grams.
It's got a little beefiness toit.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
I feel like I've always loved the double prong,
but as I've matured as a golfer,I feel like I like the singles
more.
When you learn how to fix adivot better, a single feels
like hey, I know what I'm doingout here, you know what I mean.
Like a like a double prong islike oh, I could just stab this
(31:34):
shit.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
But like a like a single, you're like I'm creative
with this and I'm gonna fix itthe correct way and I put out
that post asking you know whatpeople like, single or double
and and it was, it was like 58,you know 14 to whatever it is.
So it was really close, a lotof votes, and and the the single
prong was was uh, I gotta postthe results of that.
(31:57):
I'll do that later.
Um, yeah, I, I've, I've been adouble prong guy wrong is classy
.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah, it is, you are.
You're right, single prong.
That just feels like you knowwhy you're out there and you
know what you're doing that'swhat I would say like I just
need this, I just need, I onlyneed one.
I only need one I don't knowwe're doing this because I fix
all my divots.
That's what.
That's what a single says.
I fix all my ball marks.
(32:25):
I just think a double is like Ifix most of them, but a single
I fix all mine.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
There it is, that's it right there uh that, that
southern highlands one, thatlittle plastic southern
highlands one I'm gonna find outwho made those for them and and
get some for the vgn, becausethose things are fantastic,
absolutely hands down.
A nickel divot tool, that isfantastic.
(32:53):
So I'm going to get some ofthose with either the VGN logo
or the Joker logo on them foreverybody.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
I just got to find out who's making them.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
So you type in plastic divot tool and there's
4,000 companies that come upthat are you know that put names
on cups.
But I want to find that acompany because those ones are
the bees knees.
All right, so a VGN tournament.
We got 72 players, good weather, good course.
Trey's been out there the pastcouple of days.
(33:26):
He said the greens arelightning fast, which is kind of
a rare thing for Siena, so I'mhappy to see that.
Did say they ran into asituation on the number six tee
box today that all the tee boxeswere under repair and they had
all the tee boxes at the edge ofthe fairway.
So I am playing there tomorrowwith the Tattoo Boys, kevin
(33:48):
Furness and Steven Jackson, andfind out if that's going to be
the case.
The Tattoo Boys.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
The Tattoo Boys.
Yeah, they're Tattoo Boys.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Yeah, so it should be a good time.
It'll be a little windytomorrow, but okay, I'll do that
.
You got it, isaiah, thanks.
So, yeah, 72 players, thepurses are going to be
outstanding.
I chatted up with Golf Geniusthis morning and did some
(34:23):
updating to the website.
This is something new thatwe're doing this year on the vgn
website.
There's a lot more publicinformation on the website now.
Everything the past coupleyears has kind of been in-house.
It was either on discord or inemails, so the public really
never got to see exactly whatwas going on within the league.
(34:43):
This year I've opened up a tonof information to the public so
people can can see the fieldsizes, see where we're playing,
see who's who's playing and whatflights.
Um, I I found out how to postthe pairings on the page now.
Uh, the leaderboard is going tobe live on the website so you
won't have to.
You know, search for golfgenius and try to find us.
(35:04):
You can just go to the vg andwebsite, go to the schedule,
click on leaderboard for theevent and see what's going on.
So, jeremy and dan, you guysaren't going to be there.
That's an easy way for you guysto check out what's going on in
the tournament.
Um, I'll be able to post thestandings, everything.
The the website is a one placefor everything.
Now the forum page is up forthe members so you can go on
(35:27):
there.
Uh, I've got a bunch ofdifferent topics in there.
People are starting to realizethat it's there.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Now it's gonna take a little time.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
It's gonna take a little time.
Um, you know, I a little bit ofpressure at the beginning, but
letting everybody figure it out,um, ton of people in the side
game, side games are.
They're gonna be great.
Uh, we got, I think, almosta,000 in gross skins for the net
guys, like $800, $900 for thenet skins.
There's only 10 guys that havebought into the gross skins in
(35:59):
the gross division, so that's$500, I think in that.
And then the CTPs.
What we're doing this year Idon't know if we've talked about
it on here or not, but uh, eachflight is going to have their
own hole for uh, the tournament.
Um, like the clubs, number 17,.
That is the par three for theirCTP, so they don't have to
(36:21):
worry about measuring oranything.
Just one hole that's theirs anduh, however many people enter,
that's going to be the prize.
So you know, we've got uh 21guys in this.
There's 25 players in thespades flight and 21 of them
entered the ctp.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
Someone's gonna win 200 bucks 210 bucks, big money,
big money for a t-shot, sothat's that's awesome, pretty
awesome and the more.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
The more people we get in, the better those will be
, so, uh, really looking forwardto it.
It's been a fun week.
Uh, it's been a lot of fungetting the website up to par.
Jeremy's been helping me withsome back-end stuff to help it
run a little bit moreefficiently and uh, yeah, it's,
it's.
Uh, it's going to be good andhopefully, with everybody having
(37:08):
access to that stuff, we'll beable to, you know, showcase what
we're doing a little bit moreso anybody got anything else you
guys want to talk about tglyeah, what the fuck are they
doing?
Speaker 3 (37:30):
Okay, jupiter is terrible man.
Jupiter team is awful.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
They're not good I don't?
Speaker 2 (37:37):
I mean, I feel like they just assume everybody has
President Day off.
Yeah, that was odd.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
I totally forgot there was a three-banger on.
I mean, we were out doingshopping Emma's in town, so we
were hanging out with her.
We were going shopping.
Doing was odd, I totally forgotthere was a three-banger on.
I mean, we were out doingshopping Emma's in town, so we
were hanging out with her, wewere going shopping, doing
different things and yeah,completely forgot about it.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
I mean, how are they going to?
Like I feel like they're tryingto dictate the days off.
I should have?
You know what I mean.
Like oh, I need to get off at 4pm on tuesday that's not
possible oh I need to havepresident's day off.
I, I can't have president's dayoff.
I just, you know, I just feellike the fucking schedule is
(38:18):
just all fucked.
But, um, I do love watching it,I really do.
But like it's just fucking inin next week there's like
there's like a double headernext week and then there's like
there's like two rounds onmonday and then there's a round
on tuesday.
Like I think they need tofigure that shit out, because
it's just like I want to watchbut I can't.
(38:41):
I can't watch everythingbecause you guys are fucking
scatterbrained.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
You know what I mean yeah uh, yeah, the the tiger,
you know 99 from 199 was.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
I feel like.
I feel like that was set up, doyou?
Speaker 1 (38:55):
guys feel like you.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
I feel like it was a little set up well, this is what
I'm thinking, if we're out ofthe interesting I mean it's a
par four.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
uh, he, he'd have to have hit a 400-yard drive to
have 99 in.
So that's a little Now.
Tiger is kind of in a differentmental state right now, so I'll
give him a little bit of areprieve.
You know he did have the lossof his mother recently, so I'm
sure his mind isn't 100% onplaying sim golf with the boys.
But it's par 4, and you justhit, driver, you're really going
(39:26):
to have 99 in.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
That's why I feel like it was a little set up, but
we do that all the time on thecourse.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
If we're out past 100 yards, what's the yardage?
Oh, it's 55.
If you're at the 150 marker ona golf course and you say, well,
how far are we out?
We're 55.
So you know it's 155.
So when they say, know, we're55.
So you know, you know it's 155.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
Right.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
That's how they.
That's how.
So, when they say 99, they'retelling them 199,.
But he's in a simulator andhe's hitting to a screen.
You know 40 feet in front ofhim, so yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
I don't know.
I feel like he would, I feellike he wouldn't know, and I
think it would like they weren'tgoing to win, that it was like
a ploy, like it was a gimmick.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
so I don't know Joe's calling for the script.
Joe wants to see the scriptconspiracy, let's go.
Tgl conspiracy.
That is some master thoughtsright there, joe because he hit
it.
99 on the dot is what they saidoh yeah, they told me 99, I hit
it 99.
Yeah, and you've only gotgreens, you know, six times in
(40:34):
this, so exactly right yeah,yeah, that's the thing, bro.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
I feel like it was.
I feel like they were so fardown that they fixed that to
make it a moment to where wastiger's moment.
You that you know like tryingto create some buzz, so I don't
know.
Too funny.
I mean he has a simulator inhis house, right like he's
(40:59):
played golf on a simulatorbefore he.
Oh yeah, he should be able tounderstand like he's further
than 99 yards out just by whatthe screen is.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
You should be able to 99 yards out.
I don't know, joe, you may haveconvinced me.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
I mean, you know, they need viewership, they need
people, they need some buzz.
So tinfoil, get my tinfoil, getyour tinfoil.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
I need my foil.
You could use it for a puttercover for a lab, all right.
So, uh, jeremy, you got stuffgoing on with your kid, with
basketball, dan, you got work.
Is that why you can't play?
Speaker 3 (41:44):
yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
Yeah, freaking work.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
Always something.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
But hey, I'm happy about the weather.
I'm happy how my game istrending right now.
Looking forward to getting outthere tomorrow seeing how it
would play with the new driver.
I've just hit it at HighlandFalls on the range.
I have not teed it up yet, sothat will be fun to see how that
(42:12):
goes.
Speaker 2 (42:13):

That's one odd thing thatRoberto's does is tacos.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
March 2nd is a Sunday , oh, okay, well, we're not
going to do a podcast on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
We need a Roberto sponsorship.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
I'm going to work on that Right there, roberto's Taco
Shop, the official taco of CDP.
There we go.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
B and C.
Yeah, there roberto's taco shop, the official taco of cdp.
There we go b and c.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Yeah, the don tortaco was pretty good.
Did I send you that picture?
Speaker 2 (43:35):
don tortaco is fantastic.
They have the best salsa in myvicinity, so that's why I go
there.
Um, there's so many factors inMexican food and it requires
beans.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
Wait, hold on, let's stop now.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
Yeah, we won't go there.
I haven't had any in a longtime.
Speaker 1 (43:54):
Joe's going to have his own show.
Welcome to the Hidden GreensBean and Cheese Hour.
That's my Roberto's.
And soul.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
I mean, salsa is key, right, you can't have a watery
salsa, and most robertos havewatery salsa, so yeah, I used to
love the uh the green sauce atuh fostos that was good stuff.
But that's the thing, man,you're, you are.
It's everywhere is different.
Like I can go to don't talkover here and it's different
(44:25):
from don't talk over there.
That was good stuff, but that'sthe thing, man, everywhere is
different.
I can go to Don Tortoco overhere and it's different from Don
Tortoco over there.
So it's like even the one by methey make a habanero chopped up
joint.
So it's like because the cookswant something hotter, so they
make a big batch.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
Yes, do you have any Roberto's questions?
Please send them to.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
Joe Roberto's podcast coming soon.
Speaker 1 (44:54):
That is hilarious and we know you do.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
I did wear my Roberto's T-shirt the other day
to a four-year-old's birthdaythat I took my son to, and
nobody complimented me.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
I was kind of bummed because they probably thought
you picked it up at a thriftstore they're like do you work
at roberto's?
Or you work there, yeah youhave a child can you go get some
chips and salsa how do you payfor daycare?
Roberto's, is it's?
It's at another level, it's,you know, it's st taco bell yeah
(45:29):
no torpedoes over this bitch.
Speaker 2 (45:33):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
It's true, uh, is anybody that's listening?
Uh, either on twitter, youtube,instagram.
Does anybody have any questionsfor us or anything we haven't
done like a listener questionthing?
I don't think ever.
I don't know how many peopleare still hanging.
(45:55):
We probably lost half thelistenership with the Roberto's
taco talk, but no, rob, I thinkRob's still there, just weeding
out the people that don't matter.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
Yeah, just kidding.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
You don't like, roberto, let's get out of here.
We'll have to do a.
You know we'll tease a Q&A.
Speaker 2 (46:15):
We should do a send your questions and kind of thing
.
Yeah, we got to.
Speaker 1 (46:21):
The tour's in Mexico.
Right now, hey Blades Brown isplaying in a second event.
Harry's down there, whichcourse are they playing again.
Vedante Is that what it is.
Oh yeah, we didn't talk aboutLudwig winning at Tor tori.
(46:46):
The scores were a lot higherthan we thought.
We were wrong on that one.
I mean, after the first day itlooked like it was going to be
nasty, uh, but the weathercleared up and uh man I that
course looked so green, like, sogreen, like joe's background,
green, just so green fake, fakegreen it looked fake it.
(47:12):
I mean it was wow.
But uh, dan, would you want toplay tori and I?
Speaker 3 (47:19):
you're a baller you'll play it in any conditions
.
Speaker 1 (47:21):
But was that like yeah, especially like that, hell
yes yeah oh yeah, I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (47:27):
I mean, you're never going to play a course better,
in better shape than, like, theday after the week, after the
tours.
The tour is going to be therebecause it's going to go back to
muni shape until the next bigevent gets there yeah you know,
do you think?
That we played it in muni shape, though do you think that we
(47:50):
played it in uni shape though?
Yes, 100, yeah it was stilltough.
Speaker 2 (47:51):
It was still tough, yeah, it was still pretty
fucking good.
That's what I'm saying, thatrough.
Yeah, it was nasty around thegreens.
Speaker 1 (47:55):
God, how those guys hit those shots with accuracy is
unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (48:01):
Yeah, they're good man, those guys are good why
don't we talk about uh sandvalley just coming out of the
woodworks yesterday, big?
News yeah 12 horse where hasbgc been I I think uh designed
by jim craig, I think that's bgcwas in hawaii, I think yeah, I
(48:22):
know he went to hawaii, but he's.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
I mean he should have been on the show when he was in
Hawaii.
That's an even sooner day thannormal.
Speaker 2 (48:29):
You know what BGC stands for.
You know what BGC stands forBritish Columbia, guana and
Nicaragua.
He's just traveling all overthe world.
Speaker 1 (48:38):
It's all over the place.
No, that's BGN, sorry BCGN,british.
No, that's BGN, sorry BCGN.
Speaker 2 (48:45):
British Columbia, guana.
What's Guana Chile?
Speaker 3 (48:53):
I'm trying to say like Guano.
Speaker 1 (48:58):
Here we go.
Rob's coming through with aquestion.
How do we feel aboutreunification of live and PGA
players?
Should limited PGA field eventsbe expanded to larger fields,
if this happens?
Speaker 2 (49:11):
I think PGA Tour events should put rookies in to
try and find their way into thetour.
But yes, I think for thesignature events they need to
bring in the players that bringviewership in so that the
rookies that are coming up havea pathway to build their career
(49:34):
boom yeah, yeah, the.
Speaker 1 (49:37):
The best players in the world need to play on one
place they need to play in one.
Speaker 2 (49:42):
Do you think they're the best players in the world
anymore?
I think that's where it can geta little iffy, because it's
like are they the?
Best players in the world orare they the players with the
biggest names in the world?
But I still think the biggestnames in the world should play
together.
Speaker 1 (50:02):
I mean Bryson showed us that he can still game.
He won the US Open last yearyear.
Uh, you know he's not.
He's not not a great player hedoes.
You know, not every greatplayer has it every weekend,
like tiger did in the you knowlate 90s.
Speaker 2 (50:16):
But well, your peers with him, now your content
creators.
Speaker 1 (50:20):
So I mean I'll just I'll have to send him a message
and ask him.
You know, what do you say?
Hey T, what do you think?
Speaker 3 (50:28):
you know, I think there's been a pretty good drop
off on the quality of play.
Yeah, bryson has, you know,stepped his game up.
He's won a major, and all thatsince Brooks is still, you know,
contending when he came backover.
But you don't hear anythingfrom Dustin Johnson, hardly
anymore.
(50:48):
Rom has been somewhatsuccessful, but he hasn't really
contended in any of the majorsthat he's played in.
Joaquin Neiman's played verywell, yes, he has.
So it would be good to have himback.
But I feel like a lot of thoseguys because they got paid so
much damn money to go over tothat event that they're not
(51:10):
hungry to play good golf anymore.
They've got the money.
They don't give a fuck if theyshoot 75, 74, 72 in the
tournaments anymore, becausethey don't need to work hard to
stay on tour to keep their cardand shit like that anymore.
You know, when you look on touryou see all these new young
guys.
You're like who the fuck arethese guys?
And they're so good becausethey don't have shit.
They don't have that they don'thave 150 million dollars
(51:32):
sitting in the bank.
You know they're still workingto make a name for themselves.
So I think it'd be good to geta lot of those guys back.
But I think a lot of them, youknow, just like I said, move the
money that they've made.
The drive is gone and they justkind of go through the motions
out there and you probably won'tsee a lot of those guys win too
much anymore.
Speaker 1 (51:51):
Yeah, I was watching the Australia event because it
was on, you know, because it waslike primetime for us, and so I
was watching it and they werefollowing the Bryson group.
That's how I knew he threeputted when he drove, you know
the 400 and something yard driveto the green.
That's how I knew he threeputted, because I was watching
(52:11):
it and I was like I haven't seenDJ one time.
I haven't seen like Paul Casey.
I haven't seen Lee Westwood.
I don't even know if PhilMickelson was playing.
I saw Sergio one time.
It was just like all the bignames that you would think that
they would be pushing on thetelecast because they're all
playing at the same time,because that's what the big
(52:35):
difference was All the guys areon the courts at the same time.
We'll get to see all theseshots.
I saw Bubba a couple times, butit was like they were really
focused on Bryson, brysonryson,bryson, bryson, bryson, bryson.
He is the face of live rightnow, at least as the broadcast
goes.
And I and also I was I was alittle disappointed with fox
(52:55):
sports because, you know, whenthey took over the us open
footage, everybody like jumpedon their shit because oh,
there's so many graphics andthere's, you know, so many
different things on the screenyeah, pylon and they.
All they did was just move itfrom one station to another.
They.
There was nothing new.
(53:15):
The you know I don't need amicrophone graphic on the screen
when the caddy and the playersare talking saying live mic.
Yeah, I know, because I'mlistening to them.
You don't need to display ablinking live mic.
I, I don't know.
There's, there's some.
Speaker 2 (53:32):
Uh, I mean, I think there's many issues with golf
broadcasts.
Yeah, totally right.
So, but I do, I do, I do feelthat sentiment where I think
some of these guys will comeback and they won't be their
same, their same self.
When we saw them last time,rob's follow-up how many live
(53:52):
players are competitive.
Speaker 1 (53:53):
Back on the pga tour right now.
I think he named it.
I think it's bryson brooks,maybe rom, if he finds it.
Speaker 2 (54:00):
I think rom walking, walking, grinding across the
world like he's been.
He's been grinding and tryingto get his points.
Speaker 1 (54:08):
So matt wolf.
Where's matt wolf is nowhere tobe found, I mean I think I'm
supposed to be back that'sanother one.
I didn't see that.
You know he was resting to beone of the top players in the
world yeah, he was on aprecipice man and yeah, I think
he's won one live event, hasn't?
Speaker 3 (54:28):
he yeah?
Speaker 1 (54:30):
yeah, I think so that's.
Uh, that's the thing, bro, likeI'm sorry love playing golf.
Speaker 2 (54:37):
I mean, they just want to fish.
Nowadays I don't get it at yourevent.
Speaker 1 (54:42):
I'll be thinking of you guys look out and see snow
and ice where I live, but springis near, enjoy the snow 50 days
, masters, 50 days it's coming.
Yeah, rom dropped out of thetop 50 because he's not playing
in events where he gets worldrankings.
That's just a matter of time,you know.
Speaker 2 (54:59):
And it didn't help that he's didn't perform well in
the majors, so and just thinkof all this time that they
haven't seen these up-and-comerscoming.
I mean, we don't know theseup-and-comer names yet, but they
are the up-and-comers of golfand how many of these guys would
not be there if live.
Speaker 3 (55:17):
Yeah, wasn't you know , I mean you're seeing new names
each week and these guys aresticks, sticks man I will say
this, though, too like you know,personal lives will also have a
little bit to play in there.
I mean, a lot of those guys arein baby making mode right now,
like rom's got what?
Three kids now under four yearsold, something like that, or at
(55:37):
least two.
Um, you know, speith, ricky,all those guys they're working
on families, they got young kids.
Jt just had a baby, you know.
So I think a lot, of a lot ofthe lack of success from the big
name guys like that, like youthought, you know we're going to
come in and just be, you know,just killers all year long, just
(55:58):
right now, just personal lifeand other shit's kind of getting
in the way and taking precedent.
So I think that could have alittle bit to do with yeah,
that's true reason why a lot ofthese guys aren't, you know,
winning as much as they.
Speaker 1 (56:07):
It's not on the, it's not on the forefront anymore,
it's it's like third now yeah,you got family you got your your
wealth and your your future andoh yeah, I mean I could.
Speaker 2 (56:20):
I could have won every bgn tournament last year
if I didn't have kids.
You, you know.
Speaker 1 (56:24):
I get it, I get it Totally.
Speaker 2 (56:26):
Yeah, really understand.
Speaker 1 (56:28):
That's a kids, so I guess.
Speaker 2 (56:30):
Yeah, kids, yeah I would.
I would have won everytournament last year.
Speaker 3 (56:33):
Totally, john, you could have had all the time, all
the time you take away, allthat time of being a dad and
just put Exactly, and that'swhat I've.
Speaker 2 (56:42):
that's what I've been saying.
That's what I've been saying,katie the kids I'm like if you
guys weren't here like I wouldbe a baller.
Speaker 1 (56:51):
Oh, rob has said that his five-year-old daughter
ruined his putting stroke.
Are you trying to tell us thatyou're going to a lab?
Is that?
Is that how you're saying nowhat he's?
Speaker 2 (57:01):
saying is he'd probably be world number one
right now.
Speaker 1 (57:04):
Oh I know, but I just think it's funny that I mean he
could say, yeah, my daughterrun my golf game too but he
specifically said ruined myputting stroke Rob was perennial
king of the green and now it'sjust out the window.
Out the window.
Speaker 4 (57:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (57:29):
Do you use YouTube to get viewers using bryson?
Does?
Does love use youtube to getviewers using bryson?
Yeah, oh does live.
Speaker 3 (57:35):
Use youtube to give you oh yeah, absolutely they do.
Speaker 1 (57:38):
Yeah, they're riding them coattails for sure.
Oh, I mean, they brought inrick shields to help get views
yeah, I mean, I mean Bryson'sthe hottest thing in golf
currently.
He's making a name for himself.
Speaker 2 (57:52):
Good for him, good for them Making a name for
himself.
Good for everybody.
Speaker 1 (57:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (57:56):
Yeah, it is.
If you put a lab and it worksfor you, good for you.
If you have a lab and itdoesn't work for you, find
something else.
Speaker 1 (58:06):
let's do it.
Let's just do what you do so.

Good, look at this one hand.

You should have just you mightnot have gotten many views, but
if you did that at first likepeople, they couldn't say
anything.
Speaker 1 (58:49):
But look how close the second putter on there, the
top one, the second one.
