He's Smiley Kaufman, of course. I'm Charlie Hume. And hold on. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Where are we going? Everybody, please in the chat. Wish Charlie Hume a very happy birthday. It is Charlie Hume's birthday. There's one guy in the chat right now, so hopefully this guy can wish you happy birthday to make you feel good. Joe does not care at all about my birthday. He would like to know whether or not Jill Damon's going to back door top on 25 and keep his tour car. Joe, you're asking the right questions. Have a birthday, dude. Thanks, buddy. I appreciate it. I feel like I'm decidedly old at this point in time if my spinal surgery last year wasn't enough to like, you know. Hey, there we go. Let's just put that on your birthday. I just thought. Yeah, I'm old now. And so what that means is basically I'm not a big birthday guy. You know, some people are big birthday people. I don't know, man. You kind of milk yours based on what I understand. Well, hold on a second, like there's a difference between being a birthday guy and taking full advantage of my birthday weekend. You know, I think there's like, I like to. So, like, I didn't do some big party or anything, but I wanted to dinner with my wife, which is exquisite. Went to Nana's in Durham. Big shout out to the head chef, Matt Kelly, who I got to meet that night. Great guy. All right. And so we had a great dinner on Friday. My actual birthday is today, Sunday. And then Matt Kelly was like, where are we going to go for breakfast on Saturday? We're going to be a family brunch. You guys should go over to Google up in Durham. That turned out to be a great wreck. They had like, here's outside. Walker was loving it. Great. Jamming on a little chocolate croissant and some milk. And it was like, we had the baby girl. Katie was in her little everything was good. Man, I looked at her like, why isn't this easy every time? And then he was where I really I cashed in the birthday pass to play golf on Saturday, even after I'd gone and play golf with you, which will, of course, recap and Birmingham earlier in the week. There's no way I would have been able to play on Saturday in any other normal circumstances, but that was a birthday week pass. Then went to the Carolina wake game that night. Go heels were both eligible now, baby. We're probably going to be in the mayo bowl to send off Mac Brown, but did that. Been a little, you know, family brunch on Sunday as well. So it was, it was, we did, we did a lot for my birthday, but none of it was like, hey, you know, come to my big birthday party and, you know, that's not kind of my vibe, I guess. Yeah, understandable. But yeah, I got to see, you get to see the studio, you get to see the whole, the crib coming down here and points me golf, play Vastavia, myself, you, my dad and AV, then had Jason and Kalan come into town and play Shoal Creek, the one day member guest, which we got a top six, which gets you back into next year. It was top five until we realized we finished six, but yeah, you know, a good, a good time. It should have been a top five, but because here's, here's the bone I have to pick with is that there were, it was clearly stated all week long, the golf shop at Shoal Creek, very specific, you know, they run a tight chip there, which I love. Here's the golf genius app, use the golf genius app. And there was a group out there, didn't use golf genius scoring, and then all their scores get input and all of a sudden get kicked out of the top five. So that was, I think there should have been like six doesn't have the same ring to does it? They should have been assessed the two shot penalty for failure to use golf genius app and then we would have had a top five. But no, you were, you were, I was thrilled to see Birmingham, Alabama for the first time. You and France, you were incredible to host me, love being there. And yeah, as you mentioned here, I'm going to give you a headline for each course. So I loved Bistavia and I love Shoal Creek. Both were amazing. Bistavia is like, if you're a grass nerd, that's Zoysia, it's just, it's so nice playing on good Zoysia. Just getting a nice little crispy lot of the ball sitting up, like living Astro Turf. They did such a good job with, you know, when do they, when do they do that restoration for that last year? It was like 16 or 17, so it was like eight years ago. Yeah. So, I mean, of course, phenomenal, but I was just dreaming of that Zoysia and then Shoal, I mean, obviously amazing course, hosted multiple major championships, but Kanekka Turndog with the homemade Shoal Creek honey mustard, it's, it's the one. It's the turn dog. I'm never ever talking about that, right? You know, like we've talked about what makes, you know, something significant at a, at a turn house or a country club that stands out and you're a Kanekka guy. So now, which you didn't, you weren't a Kanekka guy in the beginning of September, you know, to Kanekka was. And here you are now with a grocery cart full of Kanekka, happy dads, and just trying to get the, the homemade honey mustard from Shoal now. That was, that was so, so obviously, I don't know for people who did not, this was, I don't know how many months ago, but we were talking about, I think this is pre-college football season, we're talking about best tailgate snacks. And you were explaining something that Francie makes that, that uses this Kanekka. I was like, what is, what is Kanekka? He's like, dude, it's the sausage, just Alabama sausage. It's amazing. So, so since then, I've been obsessed with it, but trying to find it, they don't carry it for the most part in North Carolina, it gets sold out immediately. So another shout out to your wife, Francie, who ran out to the store before I left, like late Thursday night, bought me two packages of Kanekka, froze them overnight to me so they wouldn't spoil on the plane, and I took those home, cause it's, it's, you know, to die for. And then I go to our Harris teacher that night to like stock up on drinks to play golf the next day. I was like, oh, look what they have now. Kanekka sausage, let me grab a few more packages to throw in the freezer. But that stuff is, I mean, that turned dog, I, I'm, I'm going to run a bad golf right now, which I, I hate, but that turned dog was like, just a mood lifter. It was your, it was mainly just kind of like your, your iron game was everything was just squirting out to the right. So I was wondering kind of what was going on there. I never really paid attention to, to give you like one swing tip along the way. Just because I was enjoying your antics, because you were, you were one, one, uh, angry, angry puppy dog out there just trying to find his way. We will, we have a video that's never going to see the light of day that summed up the entire round that features Kelly and, uh, but it was that, like I can just look back on that video forever. Yeah. That's about my entire week, but, uh, I don't even know where, how to assess my game. It's just a lot of the just the same. Yeah. It's just, it's the exact same thing. It's like, uh, it's just an adventure. And, uh, I think for me, you're the way you played 17 summed up the smiley cop experience where you like had two way myths going off the tee. This one was like a pull to the woods left. You go up there with like a floor iron for like a 215 20 yard shot, Jason and Kellen are looking up there anxiously. I'm like just walking on the fairway. I'm like, yeah, it's going to be on the green, like no big deal and just hit a little smooth draw out the pine straw, hook it around a tree, just land softly, nestles in there and have an eagle putt. Like, yeah, that's, that's how smiley plays golf. That's not, that's, I don't know anyone surprised about that. Uh, so that was, you were playing great. I mean, you, you scraped your way to a good score, which is, I mean, again, that's what you do. Um, it didn't feel that scraping to be honest. It was pretty, wasn't that far off to be honest. I, I feel like I'm not playing necessarily good and not playing bad right now. I'm just kind of playing just kind of average, um, which kind of like four of my game is I feel like right now. That's fair. I think you, you burned a lot of edges. Yeah. You were, you were, you were, you had like birdie looks. I guess it's mainly, I didn't really make anything. I never got the putter going. You do a really good job of, you know, if you're not in good position off the tee, like hitting a green regulation, uh, and like give yourself a look, which is what I am not doing right now. I'm hitting it as good as I possibly can off the tee. And I am going to snap all my irons in Tyrol hat and fashion. If I cannot figure this thing out. I think it's, I tried something, uh, I tried something because I'm pumping the golf ball. You definitely have somebody, somebody bonked me because I'm pumping the golf ball. I try, I tried, um, put, uh, like, like lifting my right toe off the ground and putting a ton of weight in my heel so that I can not, like, so I'm unable to like come forward into the golf ball. Like, so I'm just staying back and, and giving my hands room to kind of get inside. It was almost kind of playing around with on Saturday. I play terrible Saturday as well, but I, um, hit a, just a piss rocket off the hosel on to tee, just straight OB right with a four iron or a five hour, whatever it was. And I was like, okay. All right. We got to do something different. The next one, I, I hate good. And I was like, I was just going to stick with this field for the rest of the round. So, okay. I don't know. We'll figure it out at some point. Uh, anyway, there's, there's a lot definitely to get to and all this. And I feel like recapping all of this. Uh, I know we've got some golf to cover and I might as well get into that because I got some stuff on the back end, uh, to, to cover with LSU and a movie. I saw last night that, um, I got some takes on, but I don't want to, I want the people that came here to listen for golf. Let's, uh, let's get into it. Yeah. I mean, that, that was golf light. That was just a lot of golf intro there. Um, I, yeah, we, we've got, we got, we got to talk about the, the Paul Tyson fight at the end of the show and we have to decide what Brian Kelly's job status is. But let's, I mean, and, and Joe's in the chat talking about, I mean, Bermuda was wild in terms of wins and, you know, we got Wesley Bryan fires a 61 and it's now, I believe in spot one 25 to retain our nice year, which is a wild, wild thing, especially as you and I continue to, you know, dip our toe in the proverbial pool of YouTube golf content watching a guy that does that full time and also playing this one on PGA tour events is, is amazing. Um, so we got to talk about that, but I think it's probably the most appropriate place to start. It was the strongest field of the week and it was the one that came on first was talking about DP world tour championship, which Rory won, uh, Rory was first heading into this event despite only playing 11 events that qualified, you know, for the DP world tour. Race to Dubai prior to, prior to teeing it up this weekend for the DP world tour championship. Uh, he wins by two shots. Uh, I believe he finished at 15 under raspous way guard finished at 13. Um, and raspous, uh, locked up his tour card as PGA tour card next year by virtue of finishing top 10 in those DP world tour standings. Uh, but Rory, I thought it was the thing that struck me first, I love to get, you know, your thoughts on, we talked last week about Rory reshaping a swing and just, you know, the subtle kind of differences and the things he's trying to do to, to clean it up there. But for me, just listening to his interview coming off the green on 18 and I was surprised to kind of hear him choked up and talking about just the year he's had, uh, that's been a pretty turbulent one, both on and off the course. Um, so did, did it, how, how did that land for you, I mean, was that surprising at all see that, that, that kind of release of emotion or, or did that make sense? You know, I think, uh, he's kind of set the, set the table a little bit about where, you know, he sees his legacy in the game of golf, uh, he kind of set it in an interview, um, where press conference right before one of these events that he's recently played saying that he wants to be the best European, uh, player of all time. And so, you know, who's the one guy that you think of first? You think it's Seth, he got his status and to be in the same company of him winning his sixth, uh, race you to buy, uh, now you're, hey, we, we, we, she can match up, uh, in regards to titles one, uh, this year though, it's just about, you know, you talked about his ups and downs this year. It's been a whole lot of, uh, Rory being in the news, whether it's, you know, something that he said or just like, uh, how he's played on the golf course, you know, the US Open, winning, being close to winning, dominating all of these certain things that happened this year. It's been a, uh, a year, which it's hard to probably, even from Rory's standpoint, probably hard to put into words of what this year was, um, but this was the finish that you're looking for if you're in the Rory McRory camp, right? Like to finish off the year, uh, especially with, I thought the one of the more interesting stories of the year is how he just hit into a stim simulator for three straight weeks trying to work on his golf swing, uh, so that the next time he's in contention and he, you know, the, the misses that he's dealt with, uh, maybe that won't be quite as much of an issue next year. So, uh, for him to win this week, I thought was a step into the right direction for 2000 and 25 of, okay, Rory is going to go and approach this year with the schedule that I feel like is going to lead him up towards the majors, uh, not play as much, probably be picking his choosing a little bit with the schedule, uh, but, you know, that's, that's his third win of the year. Like he won at the beginning of the year in Dubai, he also, you know, dominated at Wells Fargo. Uh, we already just talked about the US Open briefly and, uh, now DP World Tour Championship win. Don't forget Zurich, uh, singing Don't Stop Believing with Shane Lowry. We can't leave. Yeah. I guess, sorry, the individual, uh, trippy, I should say. Uh, yeah. I, I, I think it's, it's, you know, of the things you discussed there, because I do want to get to just any swing observations you had this week of just what he's doing differently. But I think to stick on the mental front and the schedule piece, particularly because we talked about that last week and, you know, and the knock on effects of what he's saying of, you know, I might skip a playoff event, what that means for the PGA tour, but particular to Rory, it's, it seems to me that the past few years, he, he's tried to do very intentional things with this schedule, like he would, um, it two years ago before the masters missed cut. And then he subsequently skipped the signature event that it was the year where they had it. They can only skip one. He'd skip sentry and he'd been a vocal supporter of that program. And so it was, I remember in that lead up, it was, right, he was, he was tinkering with the putter. He went to a blade. He was going away from the mal. He traditionally used. He was doing a lot of scouting trips to Augusta National and he'd very carefully constructed a program that he felt like that was going to give him the, the most, uh, the best chance at winning his first green jacket. That obviously did not work. Then this last year, it was another reconfiguring of a schedule and inserting some of these lower profile events or, you know, maybe just the full field events that are non signature that was meant to kind of have a different level of preparation for these major championships. That, you know, worked, obviously did not work for the masters, but, you know, didn't work in a lot of different ways, even though he was in contention a couple of times, particularly the US Open with Bryson DeChambeau and that, and that, that those two missed pots down the stretch to the costume. So do you think from a mentality, you know, standpoint, I mean, he's, he's, he's made a very clear intent there in terms of what he's going to do with the schedule. But are you worried there's going to be another element of just overthinking this? Like, I, I, I wonder what, you know, how, how, how do we get Rory in the correct mindset to come into this year and, and when majors in a way that, or, or is it, are we going to put with Riley, Rory, where the pressure is completely unavoidable, no matter what he does, it's going to come on a scrutiny. I think there's just a general awareness, Rory, the, where he's at, as far as what his age is, you know, how many years he has left to be able to play at the level that he knows can be the best in the world as far as just his overall speed, you know, what he's able to do on a golf course in dominating the strokes gained off the T category, which is something that he has, you know, been every year, the best in the world off of the T. So, you know, as he continues to get older and older and older, like, injuries happen, he's been pretty good about not getting injury, but he's been playing a lot of golf and especially this year, right? Like, how many guys have played more golf than Rory McRoy this year that didn't have their job on the line, you know, I think, so it, that's, that's one thing to be concerned about is just how, you know, how much he has played. But I think there's also something that he just, there's that desire to, you know, just want to go out and obviously win major championships. I know that's what he wants to do. But I think he knows what level he has to get to and the, the players that we're talking about at the top, right? Like Scotty Sheffler and Xander Schafflay, younger guys, prime of their career and have figured it out. I think he knows, like, hey, I got to elevate my game to go beat these guys and keep continued to, you know, be able to out, out strike them because that's what those two guys are able to do. They're able to put you to bed with some incredible ball striking and Rory McRoy can do it off the tee. His iron game this year was iffy at times, we, we saw him struggle with his wedges like we have in the last couple of years, but you could see that's what he's been working on. We saw the, I believe it was, can't remember who exactly did the, the in depth swing video analysis. But I thought it was really interesting. I'm going to, I'm going to say his last name wrong, Luke Kirk. Yeah. He's got a great name. I like listening to his voice every time. Like if he's talking about something, I can't put it away. Like I just, I love it. It's great. I saw a great video of him shooting a basketball in, is it, is, is, is Bryson was or is it a komo guy, who was Bryson see for his instructor? I think he's, I think he's Dan and Alquist. Is that right? I, I, maybe he bounced around it. It was in a facility. It looks similar to Chris Como's with all the, um, or maybe it was, it was, there's a hoop behind. Yeah. I've been Bryson's practice facility. And it was, it was Luke trying to shoot a jumper in very, uh, Englishman fashion. It was highly entertaining. Uh, but yeah, he, he did that breakdown and Rory swing. And so it sounds like, I mean, you said last week, subtle changes. I believe it was on, uh, today on Sunday, it was, he stuck a wedge on like 16. I think it was, that really was 16 or 17, but it looked like it wasn't, it was a right pin and it looked like, I don't know how well he hit it. I think it was one of those, he, he wasn't aiming there. He pushed it out the hole and miss, you know, a lot, one of those that just ends up going short, right. And luckily, uh, he got the extra couple yards out of it and it was a tap in, well, and the push misses kind of what he's trying to get away from. Correct. Luke said in that video where he was kind of loose with those samosas. So it's, it's mainly been. So anytime there's a bunch of wind, um, or if he's in between clubs, he always was more comfortable just hitting it up in the air, like hitting flighted shots was more uncomfortable for him. So anytime that he had, you know, 170 yards and he's got to hit like a six iron, like he would much rather just hit a seven iron up in the air, um, like into the breeze. So like shots like that. And then, uh, when you're talking about like general misses, I, I saw weft more than I saw right, um, with the irons, but hey, I'm sure, I'm sure there's, uh, plenty of misses that he had throughout the year with the irons. Yeah. Without a doubt. And just to kind of continue a little bit on the DP world tour train, uh, the, the players that, uh, who are earning their membership via this competition, that's not included. Jasmas Huygard, Tristan Lawrence, Paul Waring, Jesper Svensson, Nicholas Norgaard, Mateo Menisero, Dorbjorn Olson, Antoine Rosner, who played great this week, uh, Raquia Hoshino and Tom McKibben. That's your final list of guys that are names to just look forward to and we need that. That's the group that's coming across next year. I'm, I am excited about the Huygard Huygard just, I, I really think that, uh, this rasmus and, and Nikolai, uh, having two twins like this that could be, you know, like he won the Irish Open rasmus and then finished a second of DP world tour championship. Uh, got to like having a, that guy like that coming onto the PGA tour, like this is the benefits for the PGA tour, right to be able to get the top 10 of the guys not already getting a card. I mean, the tour is getting the best deal in, in all of this, the DP world tour, not so much. Yeah. Well, that's correct. I mean, I, I think that that's, and it's a discussion we've had at length on a number of different occasions, but it's, it's looking at, um, it really works out when you get guys like this coming on. It does. And now it's 10 too many. That's debatable. Right. I mean, I think this is a layered discussion because it connects some of the stuff we talked about last week where, um, the shrinking of the PGA tour, you know, all the, all these categories of, of the ways during your card shrink, except for the DP world tour category. And there is a theory or at least one that, that the DP world tours head, um, guy, well, I'm not forgetting his last name now, but, but the, the, the current had the DP world tour, uh, was saying that he, he could see a world in which a lot of young talent, you know, maybe even Americans could see this as a more viable pathway going through the challenge tour, going to the DP world tour to get in their card on tour, maybe, maybe then, then, you know, what, um, you know, players had assessed that opportunity before. So I think that's an interesting one is like, if, if, you know, if you're getting exciting young talent playing wore off on the DP world tour, maybe that's a net win for that tour, it just depends on, you know, I think it's a very interesting, um, layered sort of, how do they get to the best version of that tour? And we've laid out on, on a number of occasions, you know, how we think they could own the fall and, and how many good events they have in the fall. And so maybe that's a way to, to lean into that too. Even though there are others, Rory, one of them who said, you know, it can't just be this, like we have to find a way to mix more of those events into the portion of the golf calendar where people are paying attention, you know, so whether that's, you know, Augusta or, you know, even March or April to, um, you know, end of August, you know, we need to work more of those events like the Scottish Open into that calendar. One of the benefits for these players potentially playing less with the proposed 100 guys, you know, let's say they're, they're not playing every single week on the PGA tour. They're going to have some off weeks. So now the guys that, you know, I think Patrick Cantley plays like, I think they're like 18 to 20 times this year. That's not a whole lot of golf. Like there is room for these guys to build in a fall schedule to where they play year around. I know they like having an off season, but if it was structured, right, you know, look, I mean, these guys could play year around, uh, like Rory's, uh, been able to do. He's, he's proven that, you know, these guys can do it if they're, they make a commitment to doing it. But one of these guys don't want to go and do it, um, especially with how much they're forced to play on the PGA tour, uh, because that's where all the money's at right now. Why wouldn't they? That the race, the FedEx cup is a whole lot of dang money compared to probably what they're playing. Um, in these, I know, I know some of these events are, are paying a good bid, but it's not really as comparable, right? Yeah. I mean, I think there has to be financial incentive. And I think there has to be, um, has to make sense for them logistically as well. That's why the Scottish open is obviously a very easy one because you're already over there. You're about to play the open championship the following week. Um, you know, it's one of those elevated Rolex events in the DP world tour schedule. So it all aligns for them to, to, you know, to sign up to play that event, uh, and it's co-sanction, of course. So it makes a lot of sense that way, but I think it's just finding ways to do it. But I mean, I, you know, again, I understand Rory's opinion and others of, you know, uh, placing events when people are caring about golf, but I think there's a pathway to getting people to care about golf in the fall. If it's only show in town from a golf perspective, it's in that, that, you know, even, I mean, you can't tape delay and you got to work with sunlight, but it, it, that even, you know, like this morning we woke up, the tournament's done at seven a.m. Eastern, right? So it's watching on tape delay, but there's a way to kind of push some of this stuff back so if you can even kind of get the eight to 10 window people are waking up, having their cup of coffee, throwing some stuff on TV before college game day comes on on a Saturday before NFL coverage starts on a Sunday. I think that's a very viable window, um, and especially if it's in high profile European venues that evoke a love for the game of golf. Like we saw at Royal County down for the Irish Open, there are countless other opportunities to do that. So, one, one, we'll continue to keep an eye on. I think unless you have additional thoughts on DP World Tour, we will, we will move over to the PGA Tour, although I'll, I'll let you know the YouTube comments are not coming in our little sidebar. So I just want to just, I don't want you to, to miss out on, I had two bonks for my pumping the golf ball. So thank you for the, for the bonkers. And then a good point from Nikki Donegan can't lay out a TGL events to a schedule. He has those coming up. So just, just, I want to, I said, can't, can't, can't teach you all this. Yeah, stop it. That's an event. I just, listen, that's why I want the YouTube audience to know that you're heard and, and we'll debate. Support for this podcast comes from Progressive, a leader in RV insurance.

Janet game sense ma.com. Shall we? Shall we move? Shall we move over to Rafa Campos winning in Bermuda? And by the way, it's a fellow 36 year old and a dad shout out to my guy, Rafa Campos. You and I had, I think he became a, yeah, he just became a dad this week or had another child this week, and so you and I had a little debate for the show where we're talking about just the ramifications of this win. And I can trend sometimes to when the young rising star to win. That's kind of my lane. I want to see those guys get opportunities. I'm trying to get, you know, Davis Thompson Austin echoed on the Ryder Cup team. You're like, what are we doing here, Charlie? You enjoy stories like this a lot more and would you care to explain why? I don't, it may, it may be not that it's just this, but it's, I feel like anytime that I, I cover the game of golf, it doesn't really matter who wins the golf tournament. There's always a storyline. There's always something for me to be interested in. And this is where, you know, a huge amount of the golf fan and the audience, the, the Monday Q info crowd, right? Like the group that wants, you know, they don't want to see the tour card shrink. They want more players having opportunity and listen to Justin Wauer this week, heading into it, talking about how, you know, I keep on doing all the right things and the tour just keeps on making it harder and harder. I mean, the tours made it 20% a decrease in the amount of cards, that's, that's, that's a big cut to a lot of players having an opportunity to play and it's already hard to finish in the top 125 for a lot of players. But that, that being said this week, right, Rafael Campos, not exactly on a lot of people's short lists for a player that was going to play well, but, you know, he's, he's a player that's from Puerto Rico is all right. Is he Puerto Rico? Correct. Yeah. Yeah. He plays, plays him a little bit of wind. He's not. He was this. That's, that's why I think he's had, that had such a good week. He's, he's really a guy that should feel comfortable, you know, hitting a lot of flighted shots. But he had a lot of miscuts coming into this event. It was 13 out of 14 miscuts. I mean, that's the storyline, right? That I think is so, it's so interesting, so intriguing. It's like, how do you go from booking a flight every single Friday night with, you know, nothing but just hope and, and the little less confidence every single week? And now you have a new kid along the way and they show up with two events left to try to like salvage your card. You know, last year he was lucky to make, make it back on the PGA Tour, finishing 30th on the CornFairy Tour list, so he, so he could have been there all year. So now he makes it to the PGA Tour, had some decent weeks this year, but a lot of miscuts. And then, hey, I, I don't think I've ever seen somebody miss a putt quite as short as he did on the back night, and still win the tournament by two shots. If you hadn't seen it yet, Charlie, you need to go to PGA Tour, Twitter, it's like this far. And so for somebody who has missed that type of putt, and I'm sure we all have missed a really, really short putt, but not unlike the 67th hole of the, of a golf tournament where your career, you know, is, give or take on the line. I don't think a second place probably would have done a whole lot for him. He still would have had work to do to get inside the top 125 now, guys going to be playing in the Masters. He's going to be the player's championship. He's, uh, he's exempt through 2026. So yeah, I, I, I go back and forth in all this, like I am for, um, a shrinking of the tour, but I'm also four storylines of guys that are, you know, every single week, it doesn't matter where they play. I'm interested in, of, of who wins, how they did it. And, um, and, and one of the reasons why they were able to get it done. So I was, in, in teeing this story up, I was running through all the various tabs. I have up to make sure we have all the stories covered here. So I did not get this fast enough. I, I'm looking at the, you know, the story accompanying this result right now. And I don't know, I am all in on this guy now because he ran something straight out of the Charlie Hume playbook this week. He had his wife induced on Monday labor, he had her induced so that he could play in this golf tournament. I mean, if that's not, if that's not the, Hey, Amanda, can you, uh, make sure that you have the baby at the same time so I can play in the entire playoffs for men's league, like I don't want to play the simmies in the finals. I don't want to miss this tournament. I mean, this, this, this is my guy, uh, and, and yeah, to your point, 147 coming in on the FedEx Cup fall standings this week, missed 13 of his last 14 cuts and with the win is now a youth. So huge week for him and Rafa, congrats to you, man. Yeah. I love a guy who's like, Hey, I got you there, Charlie. Yeah. It's, it's, it's really, really took me a second to get Charlie over the hump. There's, I think sometimes, uh, we've gotten in our way a little bit sometimes in this and that, that we should appreciate, you know, wins like this for guys that are, you know, struggling so much in the game of golf. Cause we know personally how hard the day in game is, right? Like we just finished playing this week. And so when you see a guy that does it for a living, he shows up and says these 14 clubs are going to, are going to be what provides for my family to got to give the guy props. So and, and let's get back to, to Joe's question earlier as well as I think the next, the next part of this whole discussion is just talking about, you know, with one event left in the fall, right? RSM classic, you know, looking at who's in it around that, that one 25 line and who's going to hold a tour card next year. So, uh, Joe's asking about Wesley Bryan, you know, we talked about the, you know, the wins were craziest week, so crazy dude, for me to that golf course, it's like a very resort to golf course and it's not very hard, but when that win gets whipped and there's some holes out there, they give you some, give you some pause for sure. And so do you want to talk a little bit about Wesley's currently 125 on, and, and the, uh, on the way to earning his tour card, you know, with another solid result this week at the RSM. So what, I mean, what are your thoughts? I mean, just, you were talking a little bit before the show about, you know, just what his approach has to be, just practice versus prioritizing this thing and become his biggest golf brand. You know, just the outsized audience that he has relative to another guy, the B 125 on the PGA Tour of FedEx Cup, you know, on the FedEx Cup points was because, you know, he's a guy who has this huge audience online is a guy who, who both could earn his tour card but just several months ago, played in the creator classic at Eastlake. I mean, how interesting is this story? This kind of crazy, and he's crazy with that, right? I, I, I think it's so cool that Wesley's, you know, he's, he's built such a big audience image. George. And I know he, he collaborates with a bunch of other golf creators as well. But, you know, I think the way that I've seen him phrase it, and I hate to put words in guys' mouths, but, you know, he's, he's, you know, hasn't really called himself quite as much for professional golfer, you know, he's, you know, I'm a, I'm a YouTube creator. And, and so when, so what does that mean? And the way I, the way I dissected is, okay, he's not putting in the hours that he used to put in as far as practice goes. But he is traveling, so he's traveling a lot to, to play on all these different golf courses. I'm sure there's point a lot to do from a, you know, the ins and outs of, of putting things out on YouTube, they're sure they got a big team that they have. And to that, it's a, it's a whole other business. So when he shows up to PGA two events, I imagine all the golf and practice that he has done has been just, and when he's played. So I think it's so interesting because how many players have you seen struggle? Like Wesley's a player that has struggled, get worse by practicing. For me, I was one of those guys, I, I was worse the more I practice when I was playing poorly. Now it seems like that there's a, everybody always tries to tell guys that are playing bad to go play more, but that's the last thing you want to do because all you're seeing, it's like, I need more reps. Like I need to be in the, it's like a, a guy who's in a swamp, who's a shooter, right? Like you just got to go tell them, put in the reps, go keep shooting three pointers. But you know, for a golfer, it's like, man, if I go and just waste a whole day and go and play bad every single day, it's like, man, I'm not getting better. I need to go hit a bunch of golf balls and like go figure out what I need to do. So when I go play, I can go play golf. But for Wesley, it seems like he's found this like happy medium place of being able to go and just play golf. And then when he shows up to a PGA two event, like that, that be enough of like those reps, you know, for him being, you know, enough to where he has the confidence to go and, you know, get himself in a convention, shoot 61 and 41 hour wins on Saturday. It's certainly, I find the story interesting on a number of different levels, because there was a little bit of critique levied his way of, you know, why are you playing the creator classic? But I just think it's, it's, I think it's, it's just cool how these worlds are emerging now and how it used to be, you know, that, and the YouTube golf sort of world really isn't even that old. I think a lot of the, the boom time for that came coming out of COVID. So we're talking about a, I don't know, the, I called it an industry, but just a lane of content that is just a few years old. And yet in that time, we've already reached the point where because these channels have millions of subscribers and get millions of views on each of these videos, and because major golf manufacturers are now aligning with these stars and putting really more of a marketing spend behind some of their stuff, they would with, with a PGA Tour Pro, you know, we're seeing the importance that this has as a piece of content within the golf world. And it doesn't seem like it's stopping anytime soon. I mean, shoot, you and I have talked about just prioritization of content on, on our YouTube channel and the types of things we want to do and, and just looking at the performance of like our recent videos at Tobacco Road relative to topical stuff. It's like it's really, it starts to get you thinking about what people want to consume as it relates to golf. So I say all that to say, it's just, it's wild and seeing that guy who, you know, again, his first calling in life right now for the most part is playing YouTube golf, also going out and she, he's 61 at a tour venue and being within, you know, a, a, a shout of the lead and then finishing. He's a PGA Tour when he went. He's a PGA. I mean, man, like he's, he's a heck of a player. So like it's, it's not shocking to see him get in this position, but I think coming into the year at my expectations for Wesley, we were like to play six, eight events. Like I didn't see him as a guy that was going to play his way into the, like the player's championship next year. Like that's, that's a huge jump for him. I got to see how many events that he has played in this year. I'd be interested to see what that number would be. I imagine it's probably close to like 14 or 16. Maybe more than that. I'll pull it up while we're talking, but here's my, here's my next question for you is. What happens to their channel? If he earns his tour card, I mean, seriously, like, I mean, cause, cause obviously we know there's, I don't know, there's a whole there and, and I'm looking at it right now. So he's made a one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 starts on towards the year. So, you know, for me, it's, I think that's a, that's a, shoot if I'm George, I'm asking that question. Like, buddy, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, they're not going to, yeah, we're the show. We're not worried about it. I'm worried about it, but I just think it's, I think it's an interesting wrinkle. I think the whole thing is interesting of just the way these two worlds, I mean, lied and yeah, Bryson DeChambe has been able to do it. I think Wesley will be able to do it. Bryson Chambeau plays on a different tour than Western Ryan. That's, you know, a little more lenient with their media rights. I don't know. Not, not a topic, you know, we have to go in depth on just one that I find curious. So maybe, maybe, I don't know, maybe some other commenters as well, but what else? So let's, let's look at the rest of those FedEx cupstandings and just look at some guys in and around it. Joel Damon now inside top on 25. He's at 124. That's interesting right there. I'm just going to cut you like I'm, I'm the analyst actually week, week for the RSM and sometimes going into this top 125, you know, you just hope for, you know, to have players that are right near that cut off that, that the fans are really interested to see how they do. I think you'll see a lot of people tune in to see how Joel Damon and Wesley Bryan do, making the cut feels like it's a must for them this, this coming week, you know, missing that cut. You're basically most likely to fall out with, with, you know, so many players, I guess depends on the guys play right behind them, but you don't want to go and miss a cut next week. Well, and then the two names, I think they're interesting on the other side of that line are Daniel Berger at 127, and Matt Wallace at 133. And I believe we talked last week that Matt Wallace was 125 entering the week and he obviously did not play this week. So he could go play in the DP World Tour championship. So kind of to the point you're making was Matt close to making it in that the top 10 for the DP World Tour. I think he had, I think he might have even been further inside because I think he played pretty solid this week. So I, and I go, I'll pull it up as we're talking, but effectively, I think he was further inside than some of those guys are in their tour car book because he holds a PGA tour card currently. He's not eligible to, you know, regain the card through that top 10 ranking. So he was in this kind of weird middle ground, I assume he's going to play RSM this week, but it just goes to show like he didn't, he didn't play this week. And so he drops eight spots. And so that's the danger that a, that a risk that a guy like, you know, Wesley Brown or Joel Damon runs and missing the cut is like, that's, that's kind of what you're looking at. If you don't, if you don't make a cut this week at the RSM. Yeah, I'm sitting here just looking at the top 125 and this guy's up and around it. Sam Ryder just made a big jump into 122 Zach Blair. How about this? He got Zach Blair, Joel Damon and Wesley Bryant. They got like a course architect, you know, Joel Damon, who is like Mr. Personality, Media Star and Wesley Bryant, YouTube guy. It's like, it's such an interesting, you know, first three guys in right now. Completely. And, and just to tie a bow on the Mount Wallace thing, he was further up those rankings than Antoine Rosner, Ricuyo Hoshino, and Tom McKibben. And he was also higher than Shane Lowry as well on that, on that rates of Dubai rankings. Lowry, of course, already has his car, he's going to keep his car, but those other three are guys that are earning their cars. But what if Mount Wallace doesn't get a top 125? He's cooked, I think. Even though he finished like in the top 10 of the DP World Tour. Yeah, because it's the way they're awarding the cars are for not already like they're not, they don't award top 10 cars to players who already currently hold a tour car. So he's caught in this weird middle ground where he wants to go play in a strong field like the one they had, you know, for the DP World Tour Championship and compete in that. But he's losing, so he's got to have a great week this week at the RSM because I think, I think what happens then is I'd assume you'd have to go back and assume DP World Tour membership. Yeah. And that's actually another question that I had for you that I think is worth unpacking is this last year we talked a lot about Robert McIntyre prior to his breakthrough in getting a couple wins of just feeling really homesick, and then he has dad on his bag in Canada. And just the, you know, just the adjustment that a guy has to make in it, and it seems like it's not something you'd ever turn down. If you can go from the DP World Tour to a PGA Tour, which is the best tour in the world and has the largest purchases, I mean, purses, why would you turn that down? But I wonder if there's a world in which Matt Wallace is like, hey, I wouldn't hate going back to a place as close to the home and playing that, you know, and maybe that's part of the calculus of the events he's choosing to play right now. Yeah, we'll see. I mean, I'm not too certain, but it's hard to go from, you know, playing the race you divide that final, right? And then go into the RSM, we had to go play two golf courses. So that's, that's makes travel and, you know, trying to get ready to go try to, you know, get the top 125 on the PGA Tour, so yeah, we'll see how we do. It'll be an interesting week at RSM. I'm excited to go, you know, be on the call for this week, but the one thing that we definitely need to get into, Charlie, before the end of this, and I feel like all the golf nuts are going to be into this is Golf Magazine's US top 100 list. I don't know if it actually has come out yet, or if this is like the list that the UK golf guy just always seems to get. You know, this is, it's out, it's posted on, on golf.com as of November 12th. Okay. Yeah, let's just hard turn it right there to this top 100 rankings before we, of course, delve into your LSU football. So I counted, I counted how many I've played. Okay. So we're both looking at the list. So do you want to go, well, how do I want to do this? Do you want to go kind of bottom to top of the ones you played or top to bottom? You tell me how many do you think I have played the top 100? I'm going to say 35. Good guess, 33. Oh, how about that? Yeah. They're played a third of them. Okay. I've not looked at the, I've not gone through yet. Yeah. Let's see. I played, we're not going to do, we're not going to, we're not going to why I produce that. You don't want to lie. So while you count, I'll, I'll do a little bit of notables as I sit here and take a peek at some of the ones, the new, the new golf courses that I made it in, the, the biggest one that, that is still the headlines is the Lido in Wisconsin. I think a lot of people have that have played it says it's fantastic. One that Charlie and I definitely want to go out and, and, and check it out. It's 30th on the list. So to see a new course, jump all the way into the top 30s, really impressive couple other ones that I've done it as well. Old Barnwell in South Carolina, I've heard really, really great stuff about this golf course. I think it too. That's interesting is that golf in that kind of belt over there with, with old Barnwell, then you got a Hoopy, it's, it seems like that, it's like the sand belt of the Southeast. You got really great turf conditions where you get sand cap fairways, make it play firm and fast. So it's interesting to see more and more golf courses popping up, like old Barnwell making 50 first in the rankings, there's a couple more kind of in the back half of this. You actually got a good bit with Interlochen in Minnesota. Don't know a whole lot about it, but Medina three, which I'm not sure if that is anything to do with, if this is Medina's new, if this is Medina's like current like remodeled golf course, Charlie, would you say? Or is this like Medina, like did they build a new, new course? I really don't know the answer to that. I'd assume it's old because there's a designation actually that says reentering said new entry. So I'd assume. Oh, I see this now. I see the RE in the any. Okay. Okay. So new entry with, with old Barnwell and the leado and then reentry. Okay. With Interlochen, Medina, Foxchapel, Pennsylvania, don't know anything about Foxchapel. Do you, are you familiar with that? I know of it. I don't know a ton about it, but I know it's about like, yeah. So it's, it's, I'm, I'm trying to find Foxchapel on here. They're way down at 80th right around there, 80 to 80 second, 80 second. Yeah. So that's a reentry. So that's one, it's so interesting to see the way this list evolves. I'm actually a little disappointed with myself for the number that I thought my number is going to be higher. You care to guess what my, my number is, I'm going to go with 16, 14, 14, we're both too high on it. Jackson says in the chat, there are a lot of Colvers near the leado music to my ears. So yeah. I mean, there's a couple more. Just, with Dara, with Dara, Pinehurst number 10, I think is the, the last really notable one that's, that's made its way in there. Pinehurst number 10, um, as long as, with sanctity head in Massachusetts, which is sanctity head. Is that, where, why is that so familiar? And so that's, here's my, here's what I know about sanctity head. There's a guy who was an assistant pro at a seminal Dieter, who was like the equipment guru down there. Like all the members were like, he would get everyone dialed in and my granddad, like that was his guy. And he is now, I believe the head pro at sanctity head. So that's up there. Um, that's beautiful. I think it's, I want to say is it, is that near Nantucket? I don't know. I think it is. I think this is a Nantucket because I, I, I see pictures, it's unbelievable. In our, in our, on our honeymoon, we, we went to, our, it went to honeymoon. It was a baby moon. We went to Nantucket and we're driving, uh, our bikes on this path and it was a golf course right there. Yeah. I think it was sanctity head. That's exactly what it is. It was beautiful too. Yeah. This place is, this place looks unbelievable. This is in fact, this is on, I'm, I'm so dumb. Dieter keeps saying, Hey, come up and let me know and, uh, I need to do that. Maybe that's, maybe we should organize, I will offline that. Well, that's, that's really interesting, uh, probably the one that I've, I've, since I've been there and know how beautiful it is, I would actually like to get on that course. One of the ones I'm a little surprised about, and this is one that I've, a golf course that I have played. I was, I didn't really think it's a top 100 golf courses, Trinity, Trinity Forest. Yeah. I mean, really surprised that, that it's a top 100 course. It's, it's the most interesting thing to be on, on a yearly basis is, um, the, the, uh, you know, it's, it's like looking at this list reminds me of like looking at the FedEx cup projections on the back end of a tournament and seeing who dropped a ton, who moved up a ton. That always interests me. And even like looking at like out of the top 100 since the last list, um, Congaree falls out, stream song blue falls out, uh, uh, pull meadow falls out, like, I, I mean, to each their own, I don't have to play palmetto than probably half the courses on this list. Um, I'd say, uh, you know, stream song blue, I thought was a phenomenal design. I thought it was every bit as good as stream song red, although stream song reds right there at 90. I don't think, I don't think stream song blue is the top 100. I agree with that. Uh, I mean, but I, you know, I, I have, I've heard amazing things about killing Kingsley, uh, but that's, you know, 99, I, I just, I think it's, look, it's people get excited about new stuff. And I totally understand that, um, you know, I, I've not played, um, number 10 yet, even though it's close to home, I've not played or ball or old bar and well yet. I've heard amazing things about all those. I mean, you and I know how much we love the Lido, but, um, I feel like what happens is those kind of make their way in while there's a lot of excitement around them. And then, you know, the rankings start to kind of normalize as the years pass. Um, and so I'll be curious to see where those are a couple of years from now, um, two of the biggest moves up were Hollywood in New Jersey. It moved up 14 spots and that the second one was Caprock Ranch and, uh, Nebraska. So I'm going to, I think Caprock is, uh, I saw Gary Williams do a good video on Caprock. I think it's like, you know, they're sand hills is up there at seven and they, they just built another place out. I mean, gray bowls, another one that's in the Dormy network that's out there and that same sort of territory. It's the same type of terrain is like, I think prairie doons on here. I'm trying to see where it where exactly it looked like, uh, this doesn't look like prairie doons to me. Well, it's, I think it's just, I think, you know, that part of the country, Caprock looks different for sure. Um, I think, is that a Gil Hance off the top of your head? Do you know? I don't know. I'm trying to, I'm getting, I get them mixed up. Some of these places literally I'm, I'm saying for the first time, Caprock Ranch, uh, who designed Caprock Ranch, uh, yeah, Gil Hance and Jim Wagner. So there you go. Um, I, I just, I think that, I mean, we, I came away from sand hills. We talked about on the show, like, it's just amazing. That terrain is so perfect for golf without having to do a ton of land movement. Right. And so it does not shock me that a course like that in Nebraska while the terrain is, is different than what you'd see it's sand hills. It's just so, it's so easy. I think if you're an architect to go out there and look at that blank canvas and be like, I can make a sick golf course out here. Oh yeah. So I, I, I, I'd love to check out Caprock as well, just knowing how much I love sand hills because it's just, it's just such a great canvas for good golf courses. Well, and then I'm checking out Hollywood golf club and, uh, looks really cool. Like the bunkering in this place, uh, but moving up 14 spots. So they obviously saw something in this place to move it off that much. Uh, but when I look at the rest of the list, uh, of the top 10, the ones that I have not played or shitty have not played sand hills and have not played Marian and the, the top two of my list are shitty and shitty and Marian, uh, sand hills definitely want to get out there. But, uh, I've had those other two on the list much longer, Marian is a top five course for me. I, I love that place so much. Only played it once. And I can remember every single hole like right off the bat. And I, I'm not as photographic as you when it comes to golf courses and golf holes. I, I love that place. Um, I, I, uh, you know, the top of my bucket list is national and I, we not, you and I talk to offline. Uh, I'm very, very excited about a trip that's going to be scheduled there. I don't want to, uh, reveal the source of this, uh, how I'm going to get to national and play national. But if this person is listening, I think he is a listener, I'm deeply, incredibly appreciative of this and I cannot wait to get out there. And I think Shinnecock might be part of that trip. I'm not, you know, gonna count my chickens before they hatch or count or whatever the expression is. But, uh, that is, uh, I, I cannot wait to check both those out given their place in golf history. Um, so yes, very excited about those. But yeah, I've, I've played, um, of the top 10, I haven't played L.A.C.C. Uh, I have not played against the national. I've not played Oakmont and I've not played national or Shinnecock. So the rest of those, um, yeah, okay, got them, got them checked off, SK. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Um, so, and on that same, I guess the other side of that would be some of the biggest droppers of the more notable type of golf courses in the top, in the top 25, the biggest dropper was, I thought I just saw that it was, it looks to be a top 25. Yeah. Crystal downs in Michigan dropped three spots, but everything stayed ever for the most part in that top 25, just like a little bit of shuffling, Seminole actually moving up four spots is the biggest, biggest jump. But when you get in that 34 to 66 in that second column, that's where you start to see some, some courses really move down the list, Inverness move down eight spots. Uh, you also see, uh, down there, uh, Muirfield village, uh, down eight spots. I thought that was interesting to see those two golf courses, uh, you know, with Jack Nick was continuing to try to figure out how to get Muirfield right again, because I, I think it's kind of gotten worse and worse as, uh, as, as they keep adjusting and tweaking things to it. There's some really poor holes out there, but there's some fantastic holes, which just isn't quite right. But Inverness is interesting because it was so popular, right? Uh, when we were watching the so long cupboard a couple years ago, um, so I'm surprised to see that, uh, move down the list a little bit because I think that was one that was celebrated a little bit while when that renovation got finished. Yeah. I mean, moving down the list, uh, you know, kind of in, in, you know, past 20, because you know, we all, we all know the, the big ones, the, the ones that are, you know, perennial kind of top 25 courses, but, uh, Cal Club is one I'm highly proud we saw about that. Yeah. The guy was with the Cal Club. It just show. I, that looks like one of the best hats, like it was. So just to describe this, this guy had, it was like a tan rope, how, like a navy rope. And it was, it was so simple. It was just script Cal Club, just like cursive script Cal Club. And I, and I, I bet they, I bet they finished the top five that team. Yeah. They might have been the golf genius offender. Uh, they finished. Yeah. Cause they, you know, when you wear a Cal Club hat, like you're just kind of chilling. Like you don't want to feel it at the golf genius app. Yeah. No, there was, there was a lot going on that group, probably not a lot of, of live scoring, uh, Cal, Cal Club is, is of, of great interest to me. One of the guys on, on my Sand Hills trip was a member at Garden City and just raved about the place. So that's when I want to check out obviously we talked about the Lido. We got it. We got to do like a video of the Lido. That's what we need to get in touch with the sand, or the, yeah, sand valley kind of crew over there and see if we can't get out there, play the sandbox barefoot with some tunes going and just do a whole little thing out there. But I'm, I'm dying. What is old town? Old town is awesome. That's a favorite of mine. I'm glad to see it. It's, it's moved six up. It's in the top 32. I don't even know where, where is it? Old town is a Perry Maxwell course and wins the sale in North Carolina. It's nice to you. It's Wake Forest home course. Uh, I played it once. Um, I played it right around the same time. They go super private. Uh, yeah, it's, it's, it's a very elite club in North Carolina, but obviously it's a lot of like, um, you know, that, that sort of Piedmont triad, like a lot of the, the power players in that sort of region, Greensboro, a lot of members there. Um, you know, I, I shouldn't comment too heavily on the membership without like knowing the full makeup of it, but it, but it, I mean, it's, it just seemed like it was a lot of like, um, like not a very national membership, it didn't seem like to me, which I think is cool if it's a lot of North Carolinians, um, that, you know, really are invested in the club. Yeah. It's where Wake plays their matches. Uh, I played it right around the same time. Southern Hills host the PGA championship and it was so cool seeing the similarities between the Perry Maxwell designs. Um, and, and I thought it was super cool. How far away is this from your house? I want to say like, hour 30, maybe less. Oh, okay. I didn't realize you were that far away. Well, it's, you got to go to Winston, which I think is, I thought that was like only 45 minutes from you. No. So further. Greensboro is closer. I think I'm so bad on directions, but yeah, I mean, I mean, it's, it's not, it's not a far trip. It really, it really isn't, I mean, it was, it was an easy sort of get up there, play around like mid morning, get back in time for dinner. No problems. It's got this place has definitely Perry Maxwell vibes. Like it just looks like Southern Hills like you could tell just the way that the way he just looks like he uses the land, uh, so, so perfectly, which is the way these bunkers are shaped. Oh gosh. Looks so good. And I want to say, I, I did, I never checked up on the back end of this, but I think they just, they went from a bent to Bermuda very recently because I played it. That's the jump. Cool. Cause I, I played it, you know, again, around the PGA, which was like Mayish. So it was kind of like on the, on the back end of like the bent, they were starting to worry about it being hottest hack and Winston Salem in the summer and couldn't cut it super short. So it's like, I think any course in North Carolina to keep it at a competitive championship level quality these days, unless you have a zillion dollars and you want to put like the water cooler thing under like, like colonial has, you got to go to Bermuda. So I actually want to kind of check it out on the back end to see what time for me to they play. They put in and how it kind of plays now. Have you played San Francisco golf club? I've not my, my cousins a member there. I'm done. Get out there too. Yeah. That's another one. I'm like, what's another golf course? I'm like, yeah, haven't played yet. That's. Have you played peace tree? Yeah. Peace trees. So good. And second hole is one of my favorite. It's like take Augusta National and put it in like a time capsule in the 1950s. Yeah. And it just doesn't leave. And it's, you know, it's like the old awning, you know, like with like the kind of white and green stripes on it, the locker room with the metal lockers and like the felt board where like the members names and their handicaps are letter by letter placed in there with their handicap. Next to their last name. Like, I love everything about that place so much, just a classic man. Yeah, that's that second hole, that second shot out there actually reminds me a lot of Augusta National just the way the way that shot sets up on that part five. It's so cool. They're, they were both Augusta National peach. We were both former tree nurturies. So the rolling land is very similar. That place is really special. I think it's interesting, you know, we talk about like the PGA tour all the time in this. It's like, man, when you just love to see the PGA tour play, like more top golf courses. And I'm sitting here kind of looking at the list of like how many courses the PGA tour actually goes to. And I know that there's like, it's a pipe dream for a lot of these places like to host a place. A lot of them, you know, I don't, don't have the infrastructure or the want to, to host anything big year in, year out. Like Quill Hall is one of the few really good clubs, but I don't think quail is even in the top 100 from, from what I've seen. But there's, I see TBC sawgrass on the list. You have obviously Riviera that's like one of the few elite clubs that like Pebble Beach, but Riviera being a private golf course with Pebble Beach being open to the public. You know, there's, there's just not many top 100 golf courses that they play, Harbor Town being one other that I, I see out here on the list, you'll, you'll, you'll take a stop here and there at some of these places are in the playoffs. But, other than that, not really. Yeah. See, I think where my head goes when you, because I, I totally agree with you. It's like, how do we get tour events at compelling venues that people have, you know, it's, it's more stimulated than what we see and understanding why a lot of these venue selections are either governed by like their TPC properties, tour owns it, all, you know, it's been built as a stadium course. It's all set up for that. So you end up ruling out a lot of these, you know, old historic venues that they just don't have the, the Billy cricket, 98, Billy cricket on there, we're going there this year. But that's, that's a great example of one where everyone will be talked to internally is like, dude, this, it's, I don't know how they're going to do it because there's just no space there. And so, and, and I'd love to see how they get creative and make it happen, but parking, all the stuff that makes TV compounds, yeah, like stuff like that is, it's got to be difficult. So I understand why though you don't go to places like that, frequently, even if Billy cricket is a phenomenal, historic, amazing golf course, we'd love to see, you know, tournaments played where I think this model could go long term. We talked about this after the black desert is like, let's go to some of these resort places that you can go look at a top one on our list. Sandhills. I mean, it's the, I don't know, sand valley, sand valley. Sandhills is private. Oh, I know it is, but like, that's true. I don't know. So I think, I mean, the, so like the place, so sandhills, I think, I mean, sure, they can host a tour event, they can stretch it out. That one's so remote, you know, like you're, like we flew into Denver and drove four hours through the middle of nowhere to get to sandhills. I'd love to see them in there. But I think, I mean, even sand valley, I think we flew into Chicago and drove a number of hours, you can fly to Milwaukee. I think it's like getting people there, band and do the same sort of thing is like they, they will have the space because, you know, they're a built and more of a modern context. They have, you know, back tees of play, you know, appropriate links, but how do you get people there? But like, can you imagine a tour event at the Lido, you know, like seeing an old, an old sea McDonald classic re-imagined, you know, and, and getting the stands out there and seeing, it'd be, it'd be incredible any of those. I mean, maybe there's a, I don't know how you do it. I mean, you'd probably have to like charter flights in. I don't know. You have to get creative there. But I think that to me is the one that makes more sense is go to a resort that wants people to come play their golf course instead of a private membership. You have to sell them on the idea. Hey, we got to shut your course down for four to six weeks this year, you know, to put all these bleachers up and kill all this grass and all stuff to host an event. So much easier to be like, Hey, you know, tell us what the number is for what you were going to sell in terms of resort, you know, T sheet fees, wherever we'll cover all that and then bring people here and it's going to bump your tourism a ton. I think that's a more viable model. Do you know the, the PGA tour event that would get the best field of all time, if they decided to go to this venue and it's 76 on the list, it's got your ranch. I guarantee you that you could get the best field of all time. What's the deal there? I've heard about it, but I don't know. I don't know much about it. The discovery property Tom Fazio. It's, it's one of the best golf courses, obviously in the discovery rotation, but just an epic place. I haven't been, but everybody says it's the best property. Dude, can you imagine how many like neon pink G4 hats with the GOS ZZ they'd sell at that event? Yes. They'll do. They clean up. Yeah. It would be a, it would be a, it would be a popular PGA tour, man. That's for sure. All right. I love it. I mean, it's, I mean, I love looking at these lists, love debating these lists. I mean, I, you know, I think it's, it's golf trip guys. We're golf trip guys, man. I mean, there's, there's so many different, uh, I'd sell them in a hoopy, kind of go to a hoopy. I'm trying to think what else on here. Uh, we were talking about Yayman's Hall, like down here in South Carolina, amazing course. There are a lot of these that are, I'm, I'm dying to get you. I still never played positivity info. It's so dumb. I'm my family. You can just watch it on TV every year. The college event. I can. That's what's, that's what's got me wanting to play it. Keep watching every year and it's a reminder every year that I, I need to go play it, um, uh, any, any final, final thoughts on this list before, uh, you decide whether or not we should be firing, uh, Brian Kelly, support for this podcast comes from progressive, a leader in RV insurance. We've all made RVing mistakes like not pest proofing the RV for winter, but there's one mistake you shouldn't make not ensuring your travel trailer.

Well, should we fire Brian Kelly? What are your, what are your reaction to? I mean, here's Florida. Can you spin zone that at all? Oh gosh, you know, I think the hard thing being an LSU fan right now is that, yeah, you're just, uh, unfortunately your shoe strings are tied to the guy because, you know, our AD game would tend your contract for a hundred million dollars. So you're just, you're just Elmer glued to the guy and everything that I like I hated about him and Notre Dame, just like his, his, his, like facial reactions on the sideline. Like how he just just is so like, unlikeable as a coach on the sideline. Now off of the field, he's been nothing but so fun to listen to as a fan, speak so, so well. Um, but I'm just, I think everybody's to the point, we're so tired of him saying the exact same things of like, wait, we just got to get these guys to execute better. Like it's just constantly like red face yelling at players and execute better and you're like, dude, I'm, I'm over it. Like I, I think we do have a talent problem. Um, you know, we got, we don't have the, the, uh, the Jimmy Jimmy's in the Joe's right now and definitely the X's and O's have been a little off the, um, trying to figure out how to, to hide some things, but frustrating as a fan. Uh, when you look at this, I, sorry, our AD, the last two guys that he is hired, he's hired Brian Kelly to a ten year deal and then he hired Jimbo Fisher at A&M to that long deal that screwed them over where they had to buy the guy out. So, oh, at a certain point, we got to start asking the AD questions here. I, I am like a huge, like I love our ID, AD two, but now I'm like, man, he's got us in a position now where we can't get out. Like, I'm, we have such a good recruiting class. It's coming in. And like I do like our staff in the most part, like I don't, I'm not calling for anybody to get fired right now. I'm not saying Brian Kelly should get fired. Uh, but like if this recruiting class falls apart, man, people are going to be in like, I don't think we're like there and I always in the portal. Like, I don't think we've handled the portal, right? Um, you need, you got to go pay the right dudes and work. We've not gone and got and paid the right guys. Yeah. Yeah. Brian Kelly had a new yelling at players, mixtape drops week. Love seeing that. I'm like retweeting all the stuff too. I think it's hysterical. Like I'm, I'm in like troll LSU mode right now. Like I'm, I'm like so over it that I'm, I like retweeted for to Gators troll against a good BK and I was just, I'm like over it right now. Football season's over basketball season. I guess it started. Uh, it would good for you that you're North Carolina fan. Uh, LSU's okay. We're 37th in the camp bomb. So we'll see if we get a day better. Yeah. I, I, and also on the flip side of that game, uh, did Billy Napier somehow save his job. I just stunned. I thought he was dead in the water. Everybody did, but DJ Wagway is good. He's, he's going to be a heck of a college player. Um, they, they got a great one. We got a good one coming in too. We'll, we'll see if, apparently Michigan offered him 10 and a half million dollars to come. So we'll see if, um, the spice under wood kid will end up going there. LSU, but we, we, you know, I would, I would sure like for him to come to LSU. I think, uh, we have a brewing problem this household because I think, uh, Walker might become a Florida Gators fan. Uh, we, we, yeah, it's very strange. So, uh, a couple weeks back, I, uh, got this little bedtime book for him to read, uh, from a company called Foxton fairways. It's so great. It's like a book where you read about all these different golf courses like Pebble Beach, you know, uh, band and dudes, et cetera. And his favorite page was the TPC sawgrass page because he, he pointed the alligators on the green and say, oh, ow, ow, ow, ow. So now every time we put a Florida game on, he goes up and points logo and says, ow, ow, ow, it sees the midfield logo out. So he is, we call him the Florida alligators in this household. Okay. And he says, ow, I'm blue. And he's just like, that's his, that's his, his favorite team to see on TV, I guess could be like Akron, you know, like you, you just, well-watching max, you can, max on a Wednesday nights and it turns into a zips guy because he likes the lightning. No to self, never show walker in Akron game. That is, that is a level of no offense to any actor people out there. Speaking of things I wish I never watched Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. Yeah, we were talking about this before. Uh, I, the assholes chaps were asses. Chaps were great. I think the, um, the, the, the Serrano Taylor fight on the front end was, they brought, they brought more punches in one round than Mike Tyson. They beat the hell out of each other. And they got the wrong girl that won. I feel like I thought Serrano wanted to, I think it's just because I was cheering for the flap on her, like, right, bubber eyebrow that was cut open. I'm like, this thing is, they keep zooming in on it too. And it was, it was, it was tough to watch. How on the heck, I don't, I mean, look, I'm not a big, like fighting guy, UFC, any of that. I don't understand if you headbutt someone, whether or not it's intentional and it opens up a giant gash on their eye that that, that should, I mean, and she eventually Taylor did get punished for a second, you know, accidental headbutt, but if you do that one time, I don't know. I've never been headbutted. So it's hard for me to like give any insight here. That's perfect. We'll do two videos on the YouTube upcoming. I have to kick a 52 yard field goal and we'll get smiley, headbutted. And then we'll just see how he feels about the, I just, I just feel like it's, if she headbutted her and now you can start just smacking her right in the, of where the cut is, you should lose points for that. No matter what. I was intentional or unintentional. That's ridiculous. That's, that's, I, I got a bone to pick with that. I think, I think on, on the Mike Tyson, Jake Paul fight, first of all, of what a world we live in that like the most fearsome heavyweight, I can imagine like playing that much money and going to watch that in late 50s. Like this is, this is what we're doing for boxing now. Like he's fighting a YouTube. I was so hopeful too that it's going to be a good deal. I think, I think the saving grace was that none of us were out 50 bucks for this fight. It, if you had a Netflix subscription, all you lost was, you know, an hour of your time. Dude, how bad was this streaming though? Did it kept, did it keep screwing up for you guys? Buddy, I think this is yet another, no, no, no, this is, this was like all of Twitter. Like if, if you were watching this fight, please comment if you had buffering issues with Netflix. I know I was not the only one. I mean, shout out to my buddy, Rob Christensen, because we were smooth the whole fight, not a, not a single issue. Really? Well, you guys are considering yourself lucky because I think most people had, we're having to log in, log back out or watch like a minute or two delayed. Weird. Yeah. I don't know. I went to multiple houses, which is why I like, and then I got on Twitter and I was seeing that other people were having the same problem. Who do you want to see Jake Paul fight next? A good fighter. George Foreman. I want to see him get, I want to see him get KO'd. So whoever that is, I kind of feel like we're in like Conor McGregor territory these days. I did. Do we see? I think that we might see that fight. Conor McGregor, Jake Paul. I would, I would love that. You can, you can, again, you can, so wouldn't car it. I'm like, not as heavy as him. I'm not a UFC, like I've watched a little bit of UFC mainly because of the only support coming out of COVID. So I got into it then. But if I recall Conor McGregor was not known for his like boxing, it was much more of like how good he was on the ground, right? But, but, and again, I'm trying to remember all this. He fought, yeah, I have there, right? He fought Floyd Mayweather in a boxing only match in 2017. So that, that's what makes me think Conor is here to get a, to get a boxing bag, even if he's a UFC guy. Also, I think he's pretty washed in a UFC sense. I mean, I hope it like, if he's fighting Floyd, like he ain't going to go fight a 225 pound dude. Well, that's what, I mean, because I, it's a, Wikipedia has Conor at 170. That's probably high. Yeah. I mean, that's 50 pounds, man. Like, hey, where are you going to make that? I just don't know where, then where do you get someone who's going to knock out Jake Paul if they have to be 225 pounds? I just don't know. Who's the guy that, gosh, he's UFC dude. Yeah. Francis something. And gone to go, whatever. Got him. That is dude, that guy. I like that. I like that. Or, or isn't, um, isn't John Jones? Yeah, for this guy, he's 257 pounds. So that's, yeah, that's our guy. I want him to fight Jake Paul. Isn't John Jones a heavyweight? Do I have that right? Yeah. Dude, that's who, that's who we need. Okay. Jake Paul, John Jones. That's the fight I want to see. All right. Let's do it. What about Tyson Fury? Didn't, didn't his brother, that's the only loss Jake Paul's ever taken. I think it was to his brother, Tommy. Oh, okay. I didn't have brothers. I think I got it right. I'm not, I'm not up on my YouTube boxing, but I, I think I have, I'll, I'll check right here. Yeah. Um, yeah, I think Tommy Fury won that fight. Sure did. Won't the sport decision. There you go. Tyson Fury's got the biggest belly ever, man. This guy's that big. Yeah. Uh, yeah. He's two Tyson Fury's 262. So like, uh, Jake Paul just got to, has to continue to take steroids and he'll find his way up to 250. Maybe we can, you know, we'll give Tyson Fury the butter burger, uh, diet that, that, uh, the team's on and we'll get him down. Yeah. I mean, this, yeah. Are we trying to have him lose weight or game weight? He's not losing weight. He's a butter burgers. No offense. Colvers. That's my own. I tell you what, that's a bit though. If you can go on a butter burger, Culver's diet and lose 10 pounds, like that, it's like a national campaign you could run off of that. Yeah, it's like super size me, but it's like, uh, it's like, we got to find like a better tagline. Something to do with butter burgers or concrete mixers or Jackson Jackson, the comments will come up some good for us. Yeah. If, if you do with some outs, I think your new nickname instead of being the butter burger, we'll start calling you the stinky cheese because that would have to be a tough scene. Uh, yeah, I do not want to be go by the stinky cheese. I'll accept most of your nicknames. I'm going to reject stinky cheese, out of hand. Uh, Hey, did anybody say anything on the buffering thing? I know. I can't see the YouTube guys. Uh, Jackson said confirm buffering. Uh, and then Marcus Rainwater said Netflix that a terrible job. So that's right. Which I will say, like, I, um, so I didn't have those issues, right? And I was going to applaud Netflix to a certain degree for just continuing to dabble in the live sports arena because there may have been more, but obviously the one I remember was the, um, the match with, with Ricky, like the golf and F one match, which I thought was, I didn't think that one was a super telecast, but I, I thought kudos to them for trying stuff out. They're, you know, just kind of trying to see what worked and just was trying to pull different audiences, even though I didn't find the product self compelling. Um, but then, you know, doing it again with a boxing match, I think is an interesting, I just, I just like that they're just trying stuff. We're just trying to kind of just dabble and see what's going to work. You know, the next thing it's going to happen. You're going to see is Netflix is going to be, uh, streaming, you know, what NFL football game, like that's kind of like, because Amazon's already done it. Who's to say Netflix is going to be right behind them. I think, yeah, I think we're, I think, you know, if we're really going to kind of get big picture here, like, I think we're, we're heading to a world at some point where cable cut them. Well, I mean, cable's already, you know, but, but it's like people were consuming, like these younger demos, YouTube is, there's, there's no separation between not YouTube TV, like YouTube and what's on TV. It's like everything's just an app. So I think like the world in which all content is housed on YouTube, you know, Netflix and Amazon prime, like, where I don't think we're super far away from that world. So that's just was interesting to see, you know, sporting event that, you know, I'm glad it wasn't pay review. There is, I was not going to pay any selling money for that fight and confirmed, but you would have had to. I honestly, like, I feel like there's a missed opportunity by them because I wanted to see Mike Tyson. I wanted to see, and I saw too much, unfortunately, I saw way too much of Mike Tyson. Well, that, that's, that's, I think the thing that stinks about it is like, that's our last, it's like seeing, you know, MJ in a wizard jersey, it's like, that's like the last taste left in our mouth. I mean, you know what I'm saying? It's our last image of the guy going out. You're like, I just, I didn't want to replace any of him, you know, knocking guys out. It's like, he's just hobbling around. It's refusing to throw punches for multiple rounds against a YouTuber who won a unanimous decision. Like, that's not how I wanted to like end my, my, and you can't roll them out again now. Yeah. Can't have Mike Tyson do another fight. Like, we already know we're getting. Yeah. Well, I think the next best, like, thing that, that we'll be able to watch and like consume is like a golf fan. I really think that Lib PGA, uh, 2v2 with Bryson and Rory Scottie and, uh, who's about the Brooks Brooks, Bryson against Rory Scottie. Yeah. Like, that's, I feel like a lot of people are going to be interested in that. Nicky saying, Nicky Dunnegan saying on YouTube, uh, two things on Netflix, love is blind. Finale was awful streaming. So like, they did that live and they're supposed to be doing the Christmas day NFL game on Netflix. Oh, they don't do it. Okay. Well, here we go. There's another one. I'm a fax machine over here. All right. Thank you, Nicky chime in and put it like a little, a little producer credit for the show for her. Um, yeah, I'm, I'm looking forward to, and that, that, that's another team team match, right? Like they're doing that and they're doing the match with all the celebrities that I don't care about at all, right? I don't know if it's TNT. It's a, it's really, it's not under the match brand. It's like a new thing. I don't know if it's, it might be on TNT, but maybe in a different branded deal. It's the showdown and it's, it's okay. I'm, I'm just pulling it up right now. Trying to figure out who's producing it. No, TNT is a broadcast bar. I guess that's why I thought it was a match because it's a turn it probably. It's a, it's probably honestly kind of smart though for them to like get away from the branding of the match. Now, like the match, it, it's like a, basically a celebrity shoot out the next one they got going. I mean, look, I'm, it's much time for putting any piece of content out, uh, and just seeing things work. That is one that I, I won't be watching that one. I'll say that much. Um, so, yeah, but I, I, I agree with you. It's like there's almost the, the match value from where it began. You know, like Tiger Phil has slowly been devalued over the years. And so I, I think like they're separating it out. I did like the one with like Aaron Rodgers and I think it was maybe Tom Brady and Montana. Yes. I agree. Give me, give me like a really beautiful place and, and I, I'm like, I'm a sucker for watching like fun, like golf courses like that that I'm like, Oh, I would love to go to Montana and play this golf course. Yeah. Yeah. No, I, I, I agree. I, I just think it's, um, my, my thought on that is that I'd, I'd, I'd honestly, I'd much rather watch like, you know, Wesley Bryan play like, you know, Garrett Clark or, you know, any number of these ones you were. Part of it. I think the, the, why it, they, it's been so successful is that it's lived on, like when people get on YouTube, they know what it's going to be like. There's no commercials, like, it's, it's, you know, played similarly. They, they play their types of games and I, I think they can, you know, like you can spend 45 minutes watching and you're done, you know, versus like two hours of like watching like commercials, like, you know, the flow is not quite right. Maybe the commentary is not quite the same. So I think, yes, it does sound great that it'd be cool for them to play in that same deal. But I think, I think it's, I think there's stuff's better on YouTube. Oh, I agreed. I, I'm actually, I guess, I guess I should, I guess you're saying like, I would prefer to watch it over. But you're not saying that's the best I wouldn't want to put those guys on the match. I'm just saying that it's just interesting to me that, that the direction they're going are, are pulling like, uh, King Griffey Jr. was a phenomenal baseball player who I looked up to as a kid, want to buy his shoes, you know, one of the greatest of all time. I don't know how they're going to market and find the segment of King Griffey Jr's fans that want to watch him play a golf match and then get those people over to TNT or whatever to get them to watch that thing. I just, I don't know who would be like, who would be somebody like the two people that come to mind for me, like Roger Federer and Michael Jordan, I would be all in on watching them. And, and you know, you can market that. I guess my point being this is that there are, there are golf content creators on YouTube that are already set up on a daily basis to, you know, they have millions of subscribers. Like it's like, this is what I do on a daily basis and I have these captive audiences that have opted in to this specific and narrow lane that I do. So if you had me play in a match on TNT on a different thing, you know, the, the Creator Classic was streamed on ESPN. I can create content to go to that specific audience who wants to watch me play golf in this format and say, Hey, go watch this and then deliver the numbers that it did on ESPN on YouTube. I mean that, that PGA tour, like the video on YouTube's got a couple million views now the Creator Classic like it does. Wow. They're set up to deliver that audience because that's what there's, they're expecting. I just don't know how you find someone who is not to pick on King Groupy Junior, but it's like King Groupy Junior is not out in the world making golf content with a bunch of people who are, you know, wanting to watch him do that. If King Groupy Junior decided to do that, he'd probably have 500,000 subscribers within the first couple months. If he's, if he was videoing himself playing golf all the time, but because he doesn't have that, I just don't know. It just feels like there's a disconnect to me between people liking that celebrity and peeping people wanting to watch that celebrity play golf in a televised format and having no idea what that product's going to look or feel like. And, and that's, that's my general view on it. I get it. I get it. So, yeah. We've got an hour and 30 minutes of content, Smiley. It's been a long birthday weekend. It's fun bye too. Yeah. I have for all the, for all the all that have just gotten in here that weren't here at the beginning. Make sure you wish Charlie, Hugh, may be happy birthday in the chat. I don't need any more birthday wishes. I'm less than two hours from it, not being my birthday. And, yeah, we'll, we'll see you back here next year for the next one. But, uh, send over some, send over some HPs. Yeah. So it's amazing. So, we went over to Bottega here in Birmingham. So if you're, if you've been Birmingham or you're from here and you've been to Bottega, you've probably had the coconut cake there. So I had them bring that out for Charlie and, and boy, oh boy, if you have it, even if you don't like coconut, it's still that good of a cake. It was phenomenal. Uh, everything Bottega was phenomenal. Uh, particularly, what did you get? Did you get the white scalpini? Oh, you get the white pie. By the way, thank you for leaving that had, that was terrific for lunch. I'm so glad you got to enjoy that. It was a nice look exchange for the Conneca sausage. Kind of wheat sauce, by the way, you ate half. Well, because the next thing I was going to say is I was loading up on all the delicious apps and I'm still, I'm still thinking about that big feta, man. Big feta was so good. So shout out to Bottega. That was a great way to kick out. Yeah. You were actually the only person who did a real happy birthday themed presentation. I mean, it was incredibly self-conscious about this all week and long. I got, I got my son's month old frozen cupcakes. That's the closest thing I got to. I put a candle in that tonight. You're the, you had happy birthday inscribed in chocolate sauce on the plate they brought the coconut cake out with. So you are, you won that competition. If you were trying to win that competition. I'm, I'm, I'm very happy that, that I was, that was T one in that competition. I can't, I can't take full first place. I got to give a man at least T one. We can't have her finished second in this race, but yeah. That place is pure. God, so good. The orange thing too. You could, you could drink about a pitcher that those things. Anytime you bring me out a glass with a drink in it, and then you give me another container with more drink in it. So I can keep filling my drink up. That situation is going to work for me. Did you go to Johnny Rock as a kid? Yeah, actually. So that was the best thing about that place besides the food sucked, but the milkshakes were great because they bring you the milkshake in, in the glass, and then they would give you the leftover milkshake and what they made it in. So you got like a milkshake and a half. Yeah, that's, I do remember that. This is going to be a very, very deep cut for anyone in the Washington. Worse than Serenas from the fighter. Probably. I'll say my favorite die bar on earth is a place called Dan's Cafe in Washington, D.C. It's like a, it's a tiny little 20 yard by 15 yard bar that has, the windows are blacked out. It's got a covered pool table. It's got like a wooden picnic bench inside it, and it's staple is you get a squirt bottle, you like a generic ketchup or mustard bottle, like the yellow rope. Yeah. So they fill up a squirt bottle with your liquor of choosing, a little bit of ice in it, and then you get a separate mixer. So like, and if you're like, they give you a whole thing of whiskey, and they give you like a can of Coke, and then you just go take that and just drink a whole squirt bottle full of whiskey and mix it up, greatest thing of all time. So that's wild. That's, you know, shout out anyone who knows when I'm talking about dance cafe, but let's, let's more of that orange, orange thing, Johnny Rockets, milkshakes, dance cafe, you're doing great. You're doing great. There we go. How about it? How about it? I don't think we need any final thoughts. I think that entire last five minutes was a series of final thoughts, but if you want to provide any here, you're welcome to before we head out. Just that I'm in a showdown with my brother in fantasy, like showdown and we're on a one point PPR league and we're both projected like 160 points plus. So like him and I would beat anybody else in the league this week and it just happens, him and I are going at it. So we'll see. I'm right now I'm projected to beat him and and it would be great. It would be luck. Yeah, room for you. Although hung out with luck this week and I kind of got some room for luck too. I'm room for you. Yeah, maybe like a nice tie for you. Yeah, but right, please. So I have, I've told you my fantasy, my fantasy scandal. You'd piss off too many people don't even tell anybody. Yeah. Well, there's there are 11 messages on my phone right now because I started a guy who was ruled out this weekend. I'll get to those after the show. I think I got some unhappy customers, but one of my favorite things to do, drum of controversy, fancy football leagues.
