Speaker:

>> Jonathan: M.

Speaker:

Happy fourth of July weekend. You folks out there tuning

Speaker:

in to this episode of Chase and Bertie.

Speaker:

Happy birthday, America.

Speaker:

Feels good. It feels good just to have you and me

Speaker:

in the studio today, but.

Speaker:

>> RB: Man, yeah, I mean, happy 4th of July to everyone.

Speaker:

Um, I hope that you are safe

Speaker:

while you're shooting bottle rockets at

Speaker:

each other. Um, sparklers. Sn.

Speaker:

Remember those as a kid, man, I throw those in my parents toes. My

Speaker:

dad's tow hairs caught on fire. The one year.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Um.

Speaker:

>> RB: Today'S episode is brought to you by

Speaker:

Red Vanley. So make sure you go to redvanly.com check

Speaker:

them out. Uh, the two man event

Speaker:

is right around the corner. We are about three and

Speaker:

a half weeks away. Um, people,

Speaker:

the buzz is starting. Dude, I'm getting text messages.

Speaker:

Um, saw a bunch of people at the Moose Club

Speaker:

the other day talking about the two Man.

Speaker:

Um, there's a little rumor and I don't

Speaker:

know if this is true on your side or what, but there's a little

Speaker:

rumor that a Moose Club

Speaker:

member guest invite was extended to you

Speaker:

there.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: There is. There was. It's true.

Speaker:

Yeah, I. I actually got a text him back. I texted him back and told him

Speaker:

I was potentially playing in the State Open.

Speaker:

>> RB: Um, and so you're declining and.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Well, I'm more than likely declining.

Speaker:

Yes. Yes. But. But I mean,

Speaker:

I'll tell Tyler myself. Tyler and all love, baby,

Speaker:

but you know, the dates kind of don't match up

Speaker:

and um, you know, if I didn't play so well at the stadium,

Speaker:

then I probably wouldn't be in this position and might. Might be

Speaker:

pegging. Pegging it up with you at the Moose Club.

Speaker:

Um, which. The Moose Club is

Speaker:

Yakag Country Club. And it's a great

Speaker:

course. Dude, you're kind of making it out

Speaker:

like it's like it's just the Moose Club.

Speaker:

No. Which, it's great.

Speaker:

>> RB: It's a. It's a blast there. I love

Speaker:

it. We have a. We have a hooting time all

Speaker:

the time. The member guest is literally, which at most

Speaker:

clubs it is the best event of the year.

Speaker:

Um, and I'm excited because we got the

Speaker:

member guest Friday and Saturday and then we go right into man

Speaker:

on Sunday.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Dude. The whole. The funny thing is though,

Speaker:

at the time that you. So let me just say this.

Speaker:

You know, in. In. In Dumb and Dumber where

Speaker:

he's like, you know, at the end of the scene where

Speaker:

they. The bus rolls up and it's all these, these beach

Speaker:

girls and they're looking for the whatever

Speaker:

and he's like it's that way, you know, and they could have used the

Speaker:

ride, but they didn't think about it. Well, you were yucking it

Speaker:

up with me about your member guest at the Moose Club.

Speaker:

And uh, I think I told

Speaker:

you to call walks. Mhm. I think

Speaker:

I told you to call walks. And. But now

Speaker:

looking back on it, had I not played, I should have just

Speaker:

said, why can't I be your partner, bud? Because at that time

Speaker:

I was not playing in this event.

Speaker:

>> RB: Well, for a couple of reasons, I don't think that you would have

Speaker:

done it. Okay, um, well,

Speaker:

for. You know, you are, but you're

Speaker:

a little snooty. Um, well,

Speaker:

I'm not snooty when it comes to that kind of stuff.

Speaker:

You're a little snooty. Like, if I'm gonna take time out of my day, I

Speaker:

want it to be a good spot. Like, dude, I'm sorry, but

Speaker:

yeah, a.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Little bit at all. Uh, I do

Speaker:

not. No. Oh, dude.

Speaker:

>> RB: And so that's why this is.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: I got a bone to pick with you.

Speaker:

>> RB: This is why I didn't really like even

Speaker:

I kind of had you on the list. But at the same time I'm like,

Speaker:

he's gonna say no, this is stupid.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Listen, it's not that I don't want to. And it's, uh,

Speaker:

it's not snooty. It's just that sometimes I

Speaker:

need to bide my time a little more carefully.

Speaker:

You know, I got other people I gotta think about these

Speaker:

days. So naturally.

Speaker:

>> RB: So naturally, now we're playing here we go. Day event.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Like two days. I

Speaker:

know. And who knows, dude? Like, as of

Speaker:

now I am. But things could change between now and then

Speaker:

with me. You know that. But dude, snooty, what

Speaker:

the hell are you talking about? I mean,

Speaker:

I play anywhere with anyone. What is

Speaker:

that? He's showing me something on the screen.

Speaker:

>> RB: That's a, um.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Oh, that's your championship from Pelican.

Speaker:

>> RB: Yeah, that's my championship trophy from

Speaker:

Pelican Golf Club. Um, we got them

Speaker:

in. They're beautiful. That's at the clubhouse. For those of

Speaker:

you it will never see, it looks, uh, like.

Speaker:

And snooty. Uh, she's

Speaker:

b. Cats and I were one for one this year,

Speaker:

so hopefully we're two for two because Neil Walker is

Speaker:

my partner at the Moose Club this year.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: And. And you might have more fun with Neil than me anyways.

Speaker:

>> RB: Probably.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: You know, we don't necessarily get bent on the same level, right?

Speaker:

I mean, you. You and me, I'm talking

Speaker:

I mean, we do when. But it was funny because

Speaker:

I was thinking, you know, gee, it's like this scene in that

Speaker:

movie where I'm like, wait a second, why didn't I just

Speaker:

invite myself? Like, pull a Piering off and

Speaker:

be like, dude, I'll be your partner. What are we doing? You know

Speaker:

what I mean?

Speaker:

>> RB: Which, speaking of Steve Piering, we dog

Speaker:

them all the time. I do want to say

Speaker:

congratulations to Steve Piering and his partner, who, I

Speaker:

don't know. They won a member guest at.

Speaker:

It was, I think, a municipal place down

Speaker:

in Richmond. Um, Just kidding. It

Speaker:

was a nice country club, but they won the whole member guest.

Speaker:

They won their flight, went into the horse race. He chipped in for

Speaker:

Eagles, so he says. I don't know if that's actually true,

Speaker:

but congratulations to Steve Piering. Way to play,

Speaker:

dude. It's amazing when you play with people that you like to have fun

Speaker:

with what the outcome is in a member guest.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Yeah, I mean, uh, it's

Speaker:

spectacular to see him get to the finish line. I

Speaker:

mean, because the guy's been sure as hell grinding on it for.

Speaker:

We know how long long. I mean, uh, my

Speaker:

guy was faced. Congrats.

Speaker:

>> RB: He was FaceTiming me with two matches ago. I'm like, steve,

Speaker:

have we not learned the other member guests?

Speaker:

You tell me that you're leading this, that. And never pans out, but,

Speaker:

like, just go play the golf. But I am glad and I am

Speaker:

excited that he has a major championship under his

Speaker:

belt in 2025, the year of Steve peering.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: You know, the thing with Steve. Yeah, that's awesome. The thing with

Speaker:

Steve, you know, he'll. He'll throw the blame on. On

Speaker:

the partner a little bit, you know, in terms of why he

Speaker:

didn't play great, why. Why the team didn't do as well.

Speaker:

Partner kind of gets it, you know, like me, he's like, it's just you,

Speaker:

Bash. It's like, it's just you, uh, for whatever reason, I play

Speaker:

terrible when I play with you. And I'm like,

Speaker:

well, Steve, I don't really think that's true because

Speaker:

I don't think that I, you know,

Speaker:

bring you down. But I'm. I'm playing my own ball and

Speaker:

I'm helping you find yours. So I don't know what you mean by

Speaker:

that, but he doesn't seem to think that.

Speaker:

But I'm happy for him. I'm happy for him nonetheless.

Speaker:

And, uh, it's. It's not easy to win a member guest

Speaker:

dude, which I haven't played in A member guest this

Speaker:

year. I don't plan on playing in m. A member guest this year.

Speaker:

Am I upset about it? Not really.

Speaker:

>> RB: Yeah. I mean, you. You haven't. It's been, you know, the. The Pete

Speaker:

Dye member guest just happened. Pikewood national

Speaker:

member guest just happened. You know, maybe he took a little

Speaker:

hiatus for a few years, and that's fine. Dude.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Well, I think the one that I do miss more than any of them is

Speaker:

Petao because of all

Speaker:

the friends and, you know, just that

Speaker:

vibe of being there, not having to leave the property. Everything's right

Speaker:

there, you know, it's nostalgic in a way, with you and me.

Speaker:

>> RB: It is.

Speaker:

And I'm going to ask you, um, that we're on the member

Speaker:

guest because it is the season of member guests right now.

Speaker:

What do you look for in a member guest

Speaker:

and a member guest partner?

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Oh, uh, someone you can have fun with, really.

Speaker:

You know, I mean, frankly, like Steve,

Speaker:

for example, at Pronghorn, I have fun with

Speaker:

him. You know, it's hard to watch it from time to time,

Speaker:

but at the end of the day, I do have fun with him. I genuinely have fun with

Speaker:

him. I look forward to it. So I think I'm looking at that right

Speaker:

out the gate is if I can have fun with this person. Is it

Speaker:

someone I rip? If it's someone I really don't know too

Speaker:

well, you know, just like an Instagram buddy that, like, you know, the modern

Speaker:

day pen pals and they're inviting me to a member guest. Probably

Speaker:

gonna say no. You know, just entering some unchartered

Speaker:

waters at that point. Yeah. Really? I think that's.

Speaker:

That's what, that's what it comes down to.

Speaker:

>> RB: Yeah.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Is can you have fun for three or four days with that person?

Speaker:

>> RB: You know, in your favorite part of a member guest,

Speaker:

what would that be? Is it the matches? Is it the

Speaker:

hang?

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Uh, it's number one, the matches, but then

Speaker:

the hang afterwards, you know? But I

Speaker:

like member guests where you don't. When you don't have to leave. I've been

Speaker:

spoiled.

Speaker:

>> RB: Those are the best.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Because I'm snooty like that, you know.

Speaker:

>> RB: You're snooty about.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Yeah, like Pete, I don't have to leave and just stay there. I

Speaker:

walk up to the tour bus and I'll never crash my head at.

Speaker:

>> RB: Night calling you snooty. Which, by the way, people, Brian is

Speaker:

as far from snooty as it gets. It's just

Speaker:

there's a little part of him, um, about that coming to The

Speaker:

Moose M Club. And I get it, dude, you're embarrassed and all that stuff,

Speaker:

so.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: I'm not embarrassed, okay? Like today

Speaker:

you invited me up. Well actually you didn't invite me up, but I was just looking for

Speaker:

a game and you're like, why don't you roll up to the Moose Club? I'm teeing off at

Speaker:

7:15, but well, okay, so I want to leave at 6.

Speaker:

6 o' clock. Rolled her to Moose Club. You know,

Speaker:

I really didn't want to do that.

Speaker:

>> RB: Mhm.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: I really didn't. I mean, I get it.

Speaker:

But you know, maybe if it was, maybe if it was 9 o' clock, then I

Speaker:

could leave at 7:30 then. Yeah, you know what?

Speaker:

>> RB: What? But, but if that was the thing, why wouldn't you

Speaker:

be like hey dude, if you're playing nine, I would be there. But you never said

Speaker:

that because you never want to come.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: But I also know that you're like strict to your schedule,

Speaker:

dude. Like you had 7:30 planned for a month and a half

Speaker:

on sat on whatever day it is.

Speaker:

>> RB: Put that together on Wednesday.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: But all right, if I would have bumped you by half hour, your day would have been

Speaker:

off. You'd been off axis. We'd have been looking at Jupiter.

Speaker:

>> RB: Yeah, true.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Uh, Jeff Bezos, speaking of Jupiter

Speaker:

and all these rich people, I mean, my man just got tied the

Speaker:

knot in, in uh, Venice. I mean that's,

Speaker:

that was a little snooty.

Speaker:

>> RB: Yeah. Did you see who he, the girl he

Speaker:

married was dating? Tony Gonzalez. You remember

Speaker:

Tony Gonzalez, the tight end from the Kansas City Chiefs. That's. That

Speaker:

was his ex girlfriend bud.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: And, and he played for Atlanta. I feel.

Speaker:

>> RB: The Falcons.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker:

>> RB: Did he play for the Chiefs?

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: I didn't know that. I don't know. I don't think he ever played for the

Speaker:

Chiefs.

Speaker:

>> RB: I got the Falcons and the Chiefs mixed

Speaker:

up there a little bit. Sorry fam. Um, he played

Speaker:

for the Falcons. In fact, Jeff got.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: She kind of was like just rolling in like.

Speaker:

Yeah. I mean, you know,

Speaker:

breasts are just all pushed up and she's just looking

Speaker:

like, you know, this is it. You know, I mean,

Speaker:

kind of things. But I mean everyone in the world was there but you

Speaker:

and me.

Speaker:

>> RB: Yeah, apparently.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: But the US Open, we talked a little bit about that on

Speaker:

the last episode. Uh, which certainly had some

Speaker:

repercussions following the US Open, you know, Windham

Speaker:

Clark addressing the media, all this, that and

Speaker:

the other. But what was your biggest takeaway

Speaker:

from that major championship? And what's your

Speaker:

opinion on how the PGA Tour

Speaker:

structures Their tournaments. Now, you know, we're

Speaker:

in the first part of July and there's really only,

Speaker:

there's one major left. That's it.

Speaker:

>> RB: What I took away from the U.S. open was

Speaker:

you're never out of it. Even though you think you might be, uh, six, seven

Speaker:

shots, you're never out of it. Keep fighting hard,

Speaker:

keep, keep playing hard. You don't know what's going to happen. There were

Speaker:

so many elements that day that were getting thrown at

Speaker:

different players, and JJ Spawn just kind of hung around, did his thing,

Speaker:

and he was the one hoisting the trophy at the end.

Speaker:

As far as the scheduling is concerned.

Speaker:

I do like the PGA

Speaker:

in August, actually. I would

Speaker:

like it to go Augusta

Speaker:

US Open, pga

Speaker:

than the British Open. I do like the British Open.

Speaker:

Finishing, finishing the year off, uh, in the

Speaker:

majors. But again, like you said, come July, dude, majors are

Speaker:

over. You got the Ryder cup this year. It's a Ryder cup

Speaker:

year.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Yeah. And that's fun to watch, you know, for a minute.

Speaker:

But, you know, it is. The Ryder Cup's

Speaker:

awesome to watch this year. It's in New York, so that'll be, that'll be dope.

Speaker:

But, um, no, I just feel like.

Speaker:

And maybe it's just time in general. You know, time

Speaker:

goes by fast, but man, I just, I

Speaker:

just feel like we were all amped up for the first major

Speaker:

of the year, and now we're

Speaker:

staring at the last major of the year here in a couple weeks.

Speaker:

And then outside of that, the, you know, the

Speaker:

high marked or whatever they're called,

Speaker:

the regular events

Speaker:

that are signature now, I mean, that shit's

Speaker:

all over, you know. So I'm sitting there watching the

Speaker:

Rocket Classic at Detroit Country Club, which looks like a

Speaker:

phenomenal track, but I mean, it has to be like the

Speaker:

worst, like, participated event on the

Speaker:

PGA Tour.

Speaker:

>> RB: It's tough. So it's, it's fun to watch because they're

Speaker:

taking it deep and you got to score. So that is fun and aspect. But

Speaker:

yeah, like you said, I mean, there's not a lot of people there, man. Doesn't

Speaker:

look like a lot going on in Detroit for that, that

Speaker:

event.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Um, I mean, that tournament was

Speaker:

awesome though, because out of nowhere,

Speaker:

whoever the guy, I don't even know who this Aldrich Park

Speaker:

Gator is. I have no idea where he is, but he was out of it

Speaker:

for a little bit. I mean, he was leading going into Sunday,

Speaker:

but then he kind of fell back. And then you, uh, had Chris

Speaker:

Kirk finished 22 under, thinking he's going to ride it

Speaker:

to the end. And now it goes into a three

Speaker:

man playoff between him, Portager

Speaker:

and Grayer's men. So that, that was

Speaker:

exciting. You know, that was exciting part. But I mean,

Speaker:

watching Ricky Fowler fumble again, not make cut.

Speaker:

I mean, some of these other guys that you're kind of rooting on.

Speaker:

I don't know. Ben Griffin though, with those shades,

Speaker:

dude. I mean, I wear aviators too, but this cat, I don't know

Speaker:

if it's. If, if they're his fit. I just don't. I

Speaker:

don't know.

Speaker:

>> RB: Well, you know why he's wearing them?

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Why?

Speaker:

>> RB: Apparently he had eye surgery. He had a bunch of floaters in

Speaker:

his eyes. And he has to wear them because if dust gets in his

Speaker:

eyes or sand or something, it could really affect him. So he's got to

Speaker:

wear like these big protective sunglasses, which they are

Speaker:

big and I mean, but, uh, they're protecting the next golfer

Speaker:

ever. But how about the year he's had?

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: I didn't know that.

Speaker:

>> RB: I mean, he's playing unbelievable. But

Speaker:

like you look at, dude, the big question is Keegan Bradley.

Speaker:

He's actually get. He's going to make this darn team.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Well, and he should have. Yeah, he should.

Speaker:

That was a, that was a fun little tournament. You know, watching him

Speaker:

win up at the, uh, the Travelers.

Speaker:

>> RB: Maybe.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Hey, maybe. Is it

Speaker:

true that Tommy Fleetwood has never

Speaker:

won on PGA Tour? Never won, and he's made

Speaker:

like 30 million.

Speaker:

>> RB: Insane. Insane, dude.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: I saw that and I thought to myself, there's no

Speaker:

way he hasn't won. He's won.

Speaker:

>> RB: Let me ask you this. Would you rather

Speaker:

play a PGA Tour career and win $40 million

Speaker:

or have one PGA Tour win?

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: I mean, I'd probably. That's a good one.

Speaker:

I don't know, man. I mean, weighing

Speaker:

the options out here, I'm going back and forth. I'd probably just

Speaker:

rather play for fun and never

Speaker:

win and make 40 on the course.

Speaker:

>> RB: You want to play on the lift Tour? That was a, um, question.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: I mean,

Speaker:

that's right. Yeah. Like Brooks be in the

Speaker:

mix? I mean, you're in the mix a little bit, but I mean, you're not winning

Speaker:

anything.

Speaker:

>> RB: Right, Right.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Uh, and then this past weekend, we also had

Speaker:

at the Broadmoor, the, uh, the US Senior

Speaker:

Open, which. That was a lot of fun to watch, man. Potty got

Speaker:

it done. He almost killed the guy from NBC, which is

Speaker:

great. His little Irish rant. Yeah.

Speaker:

Roger, did you see that?

Speaker:

>> RB: Saw it, dude. You know what, though?

Speaker:

I think his whole thing was where he was standing while, um, he's

Speaker:

hitting shots. And I don't mind that. I don't mind you complaining about that

Speaker:

because, uh, m. If I see you in my sight line, like,

Speaker:

why'd you gotta move it?

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Well, but, you know, it's like, potty

Speaker:

was just like, you just don't stand there. You just don't.

Speaker:

And. And. And he's standing there going, like,

Speaker:

what do you mean? I wasn't standing. And then he just says, you

Speaker:

just don't stand there. You know better. You just don't.

Speaker:

That's all they were doing, bickering back and forth.

Speaker:

Like, right.

Speaker:

>> RB: Right now is not a great time to be in media in the PGA Tour,

Speaker:

as we've gathered. It's not great,

Speaker:

dude, because I don't know if there's a PGA Tour play right

Speaker:

now that is super happy with media.

Speaker:

And, um, I mean, I think it's the bigger players

Speaker:

that are a little unhappy, but, man, the media

Speaker:

is getting it left and right.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: I mean, you damn right they are.

Speaker:

I mean, my God, between CNN and the golf

Speaker:

media, everyone's freaking getting, like, just.

Speaker:

>> RB: I mean, Colin Mortal is looking for a caddy, but why isn't Will

Speaker:

getting his phone call?

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Will Davidson, where you at, boy? Collie's looking for a

Speaker:

caddy. And that's another guy that just went off on

Speaker:

the media more cow the other day.

Speaker:

>> RB: I want. He, uh, thinks he's Tommy tough nuts behind. Behind the

Speaker:

microphone. I. I don't. I'm not a fan of him. I'm not

Speaker:

a fan of him. But nonetheless, it's been

Speaker:

exciting on the PGA Tour. I feel like the PGA Tour is

Speaker:

getting a little more exciting over the last few months, more so

Speaker:

than the last couple years. Um, getting

Speaker:

some cool finishes and. So

Speaker:

good on that.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: I totally. I totally agree. Like, I

Speaker:

am, like, if you guys are. Are

Speaker:

in the golf and you're watching golf, you're watching something

Speaker:

right now happen that this

Speaker:

kind of inner shift of the PGA Tour.

Speaker:

You got some of these players that you. You don't know,

Speaker:

frankly, you never heard of them. Well, they're making a little bit of a name for

Speaker:

themselves. They're having some good, good tournaments, putting

Speaker:

good weeks. You got guys that you want to watch and see succeed

Speaker:

that are falling back. Spieth Fowler,

Speaker:

Max Homa. And then you got the

Speaker:

storyline with. With the two top guns, you know, McElroy

Speaker:

and Scheffler. But now you're not really gonna see him

Speaker:

much. So I think the PGA

Speaker:

Tour is exciting, other than the fact that as I mentioned

Speaker:

earlier, watching that

Speaker:

tournament this past weekend was,

Speaker:

you know, it just, uh. But it was good for the action. Like you said,

Speaker:

they had to go deep. They had to go deep. I

Speaker:

think you're right. It's.

Speaker:

>> RB: Well, I'm excited, you know, the. The chase and

Speaker:

birdies, too, man. We have 52 guys signed up,

Speaker:

and I. Excited for this.

Speaker:

Um, it's gonna be the largest pot ever. Um, we're

Speaker:

both. We're playing both rounds on Mystic Rock at

Speaker:

Nemacol. Pairing party Friday night or

Speaker:

Sunday night. Sorry. Um, at Fawn and

Speaker:

Fable, and. And we got a lot of good players this time, man. I'm

Speaker:

excited to see what the cutoff is like. I got to do handicaps now

Speaker:

and all that.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Jazz, you've been putting a lot of work into this, man,

Speaker:

and, uh, it doesn't go unnoticed,

Speaker:

let me just say that. So I appreciate that, uh, everybody

Speaker:

should. Should, uh, appreciate what you've been doing. But,

Speaker:

you know, I'm working on trying to get some people to take some, uh,

Speaker:

content, you know, because last year, PSHP hooked it up for us.

Speaker:

We got it two years later this year, he hit

Speaker:

me up. He's back. It's still in Utah, and I

Speaker:

need someone to get in on the pairings dinner and

Speaker:

get some good content of the teams. You know, the teams. We

Speaker:

all. We all yell when we hear the name. You know, we pick a name out of the hat, and

Speaker:

it's like, Mike Oates. And then it's like Jared

Speaker:

Detwiler and was like, yeah, that's

Speaker:

awesome. It's like. It's like old WWF

Speaker:

days when you had the tag team partners. But I am

Speaker:

super stoked about it. We got Zambos rolling in with IP this

Speaker:

year. We got John Barry bringing another clan

Speaker:

in. Gentry's coming in with. With another buddy.

Speaker:

Um, a lot of former guests are chasing

Speaker:

birdies. A lot of buddies.

Speaker:

>> RB: Sorkin's back in the field.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Sorkin's back in the mix. This is the real deal,

Speaker:

guys. We don't play around.

Speaker:

>> RB: Exciting. Like, it's exciting. And the gifts were. I

Speaker:

mean, I'm still waiting for a batch of gifts. They're on

Speaker:

California time, though.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: I'm watching my puppy through the window. Just absolutely

Speaker:

terrorized the bed. I mean, just eating and chewing

Speaker:

his bed up right now as I do this. I

Speaker:

mean, I, uh, like.

Speaker:

>> RB: So training's going well.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Training was great. He. But I don't know.

Speaker:

I. I don't know what he's doing. He's just. Has a little bit of

Speaker:

aggression. Dude. The other night, he runs out the Door,

Speaker:

sees people, runs after them, and then they're like, oh, my

Speaker:

God. And then he just kind of. I

Speaker:

said, he's super friendly. Just give him a minute. And he

Speaker:

did. He just, uh, wags his tail like a normal

Speaker:

dog and then it's fine. But out the gate he's a little.

Speaker:

>> RB: Scared of people and all good.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: So he. So he barks. But

Speaker:

I went up to Nemacolan, uh, last

Speaker:

Monday, Adam Schwinn, our good buddy Sweeney, came in from

Speaker:

Nashville, crashed at my pad. You

Speaker:

know, he's like, bash, I'm coming back to Nashville from

Speaker:

Baltimore.

Speaker:

>> RB: Which I feel is be careful out of the way, but whatever.

Speaker:

>> Jonathan: Yeah, totally. Yeah. But you know what? I. I

Speaker:

was here for it. I'm like, yeah, man, absolutely.

Speaker:

I'll hang with you. I want to hang. So he rolled in Sunday night at

like 11 00:21:06

30. I was in bed.

like 11 00:21:09

Um, so text me when he rolled up,

like 11 00:21:11

opened the door and caught, uh, up with him for an

like 11 00:21:14

hour. And I said, buddy, I gotta go to bed. I'm normally in bed

by 8 00:21:17

30. But, um, went up to

by 8 00:21:19

Nemacolin on Monday night and played

by 8 00:21:22

in the evening on Shepherd's, which is the first time this year I played

by 8 00:21:25

Shepherd's. And, uh, it was great.

by 8 00:21:28

It was awesome. There was not a soul on the

by 8 00:21:31

golf course. And are you. Would you

by 8 00:21:34

rather play in the morning or like, tee off

by 8 00:21:36

at 4 in the afternoon?

by 8 00:21:39

>> RB: I'm like, different golf courses. A little weird about

by 8 00:21:41

that. Like, you tell me a P. Die

by 8 00:21:44

or, um, Pikewood

by 8 00:21:47

or Yawk. I'm. I'm. Let's roll in the morning.

by 8 00:21:50

But I love those neolin rounds around 4:30,

by 8 00:21:53

5 o' clock when the shadows are starting to cast themselves.

by 8 00:21:57

It is amazing. It is so good.

by 8 00:21:59

>> Jonathan: Dude. It was, it was, it was great. Like, I was

by 8 00:22:02

like, I need to start doing this more often. It was so damn

by 8 00:22:05

hot though. You know, you kind of get those drinks and

by 8 00:22:08

they got sugar in them. I don't like drinking sugary drinks. So I was like, I would,

by 8 00:22:10

but I was so. I was so. But anyways, long story

by 8 00:22:13

short, I started swiping my

by 8 00:22:16

driver. Dude, when I tell you that my

by 8 00:22:19

driver, My ball is

by 8 00:22:22

going 30 yards, right, with a

by 8 00:22:25

slice. I'm not exaggerating.

by 8 00:22:27

Like, that is no exaggeration. Now

by 8 00:22:30

every now and then I'll. I'll square it up and

by 8 00:22:33

hit it. But my misses, uh,

by 8 00:22:36

top of the top of the head and just going. And

by 8 00:22:39

I'm like, what the hell? So maybe I'll give Steve

by 8 00:22:42

Fearing a little credit here. I was telling him about it because he was asking me. I was hit

by 8 00:22:45

ball. He's like, well, maybe your shoulders are open. And I was

by 8 00:22:48

like, you know what? You might be right. So

by 8 00:22:51

we went down to Pete Dye on Tuesday, me and Adam. Another

by 8 00:22:54

great day. They just kind of blew the greens up

by 8 00:22:57

a little bit. But, um, got my shoulder

by 8 00:23:00

square to my target line

by 8 00:23:03

and I hit some. I hit a lot more solid,

by 8 00:23:06

I would say, but something is still

by 8 00:23:09

going on with the face and the, you know, the

by 8 00:23:11

manipulation of the face at impact. So I

by 8 00:23:14

went to the range because I'm like, I can't do this, man.

by 8 00:23:17

Like, I just. I've been playing good golf. My irons have

by 8 00:23:20

been good. I've been putting well. You know, I just can't. I

by 8 00:23:23

can't do this. I typically drive the ball well. You

by 8 00:23:26

drive the ball the best. I know, but I'm saying me.

by 8 00:23:30

So I went to the range and I took my old driver because

by 8 00:23:32

I thought maybe it's a shaft issue. You know, the shaft's so important

by 8 00:23:35

in the driver, and maybe the. The tip is not,

by 8 00:23:39

you know, whatever, whatever. But no, that wasn't

by 8 00:23:42

the answer. It was not the driver because my old

by 8 00:23:45

driver did the same thing. So finally I'm like, dude, I'm not even.

by 8 00:23:48

I swear to you. I started doing a drill

by 8 00:23:52

where I put the ball six inches in

by 8 00:23:55

front of my left foot. And I used to do that with my iron to

by 8 00:23:58

just to feel movement through the ball. So

by 8 00:24:00

I started doing it with my driver. I'm teeing the ball up six inches,

by 8 00:24:04

taking my normal stance, swinging, extending at

by 8 00:24:07

the ball. I

by 8 00:24:10

have not hit the center of the face as many times in

by 8 00:24:13

a row as I did doing that drill. Like,

by 8 00:24:16

boom, boom, boom. Every now and

by 8 00:24:19

then, squeak one, pull it a little, it goes a little left.

by 8 00:24:22

>> RB: Mhm.

by 8 00:24:22

>> Jonathan: Um, but I was hitting like. I'm

by 8 00:24:25

like, geez, whiz. So then I just started

by 8 00:24:28

naturally doing it. I'm like, get up to the tee box, and

by 8 00:24:31

I'm gonna be the guy that has his ball

by 8 00:24:34

6 inches in front of his left foot. Could

by 8 00:24:37

I do that? Absolutely. I could do that. Because

by 8 00:24:40

there's something happening. I don't know what it

by 8 00:24:43

is. You know what I mean?

by 8 00:24:45

>> RB: I mean, but it might be temporary for you,

by 8 00:24:48

but it's good. It's good that you. You

by 8 00:24:50

generally it is ball position with. With

by 8 00:24:53

good players, a lot of it is the ball position because,

by 8 00:24:56

you know, the technique's there. But I mean, it's always

by 8 00:24:59

good to have another set of eyes. You know, for me,

by 8 00:25:02

I tend to start getting in my irons

by 8 00:25:05

and stuff, my wedges, I tend to

by 8 00:25:08

get it moving a little too far forward.

by 8 00:25:11

Um, my driver, I don't

by 8 00:25:14

really have trouble with on that. It's always inside

by 8 00:25:17

my left heel, because part of that's my

by 8 00:25:20

routine on my driver. But,

by 8 00:25:22

um. Well, that's always good to have another set of eyes see

by 8 00:25:25

where the ball position is, where you're hitting it. Um,

by 8 00:25:28

because that makes a huge difference on if

by 8 00:25:31

you're hitting it solid or not.

by 8 00:25:33

>> Jonathan: I know, but it's. It's like, I

by 8 00:25:35

haven't changed my ball position. But what's

by 8 00:25:38

wild is the fact that, like, my

by 8 00:25:42

face, where the ball is hitting the. The face is,

by 8 00:25:45

like, super high on the face.

by 8 00:25:48

Like, my teaser. Every T I use, I just break it, like,

by 8 00:25:50

forget about it. There's no sweeping motion with it.

by 8 00:25:53

It's it. So the attack angle has to be pretty

by 8 00:25:56

steep. It's got to be coming down and swinging left

by 8 00:25:59

and coming down on it, because the ball's hitting, like, almost

by 8 00:26:02

on the crown of the head. It's just hitting on the top of.

by 8 00:26:05

>> RB: The face, coming down on top of it instead of

by 8 00:26:08

going through.

by 8 00:26:10

>> Jonathan: Right. And that's what I think I am doing. And

by 8 00:26:13

that's what. I think that. That's why I put the ball up

by 8 00:26:15

to. To catch it on the up.

by 8 00:26:17

>> RB: Well, I was just gonna say that. You watch PGA Tour

by 8 00:26:20

players, some of the better ones that hit the

by 8 00:26:23

driver, they're coming up.

by 8 00:26:27

>> Jonathan: Yeah.

by 8 00:26:27

>> RB: It's not. It's not even straight through. It's

by 8 00:26:30

an upward motion. And that's why that.

by 8 00:26:33

The flight of the ball and the carry is so much for these guys,

by 8 00:26:36

because they're catching it on the up. Um, with their drivers.

by 8 00:26:39

>> Jonathan: Yeah.

by 8 00:26:39

>> RB: And something else that I. I mentioned this to you

by 8 00:26:42

before. Nothing golf related at all.

by 8 00:26:45

Um, but see it on Instagram, I see it on Facebook,

by 8 00:26:48

and it bothers me, dude, like no other.

by 8 00:26:51

And that is.

by 8 00:26:52

>> Jonathan: Tell me about it.

by 8 00:26:53

>> RB: These people that they show up to

by 8 00:26:56

a police station and they're filming,

by 8 00:26:59

and an officer comes out and says, hey, you can't be here.

by 8 00:27:02

And then that person that's filming says, well, I'm a

by 8 00:27:05

taxpayer. I can most certainly be here. Don't

by 8 00:27:08

tell me what to do. I pay your salary. Blah, blah,

by 8 00:27:10

blah, blah. And the cop says stuff back, and they

by 8 00:27:13

exchange words, and then all of a sudden, you know, all hell

by 8 00:27:16

breaks loose. You have to be the

by 8 00:27:19

biggest loser in the world to go

by 8 00:27:21

do these videos and

by 8 00:27:24

antagonize people to get a reaction so that you

by 8 00:27:27

can do something. These police officers

by 8 00:27:31

already have a tough Day. All right.

by 8 00:27:33

Dealing with. With the public. It annoys

by 8 00:27:36

me so much to watch these videos and infuriates me that they're just doing

by 8 00:27:39

this to get reactions out of cops so that they can

by 8 00:27:42

sue or get clicks or whatever.

by 8 00:27:45

It's so stupid. It annoys me so

by 8 00:27:48

much.

by 8 00:27:49

>> Jonathan: Do you know what the success rate is on. On

by 8 00:27:51

protesting? Like, has any law has ever been

by 8 00:27:54

changed because of protesting or. Or

by 8 00:27:57

anything like that?

by 8 00:27:58

>> RB: Uh, when there's protesting, they just look the

by 8 00:28:01

other way.

by 8 00:28:02

>> Jonathan: Yeah.

by 8 00:28:02

>> RB: Nobody gets trouble type thing.

by 8 00:28:04

>> Jonathan: No. And I guess my point to that is. Yeah. Like, why? Like,

by 8 00:28:07

I understand people have a right to express their feelings and,

by 8 00:28:10

you know, exercise their rights as an American citizen,

by 8 00:28:13

legally an American citizen, but

by 8 00:28:16

I. I know what you mean. Like, that's just wasting your. What.

by 8 00:28:19

Why are you wasting your time rolling up to the guy that's

by 8 00:28:22

actually trying to protect and serve in this whole thing?

by 8 00:28:25

>> RB: I pay. I pay your salary. You work for me. Okay, bud?

by 8 00:28:28

Like, let's put the camera down. I want you to go to work. How

by 8 00:28:31

about that one?

by 8 00:28:32

>> Jonathan: How about that one? Yeah.

by 8 00:28:33

>> RB: So that you can pay those taxes.

by 8 00:28:36

>> Jonathan: Yeah.

by 8 00:28:36

>> RB: They should just be like, hey, let's see if you're in

by 8 00:28:39

good tech standing with us, and then we'll worry about this conversation,

by 8 00:28:42

Right?

by 8 00:28:43

>> Jonathan: Yeah. I feel your pain on that, dude, and I know

by 8 00:28:46

that bothers you, so I'm here if you need the vent, because

by 8 00:28:49

that. I'm serious. That's.

by 8 00:28:52

I don't know, man. The world's crazy.

by 8 00:28:54

>> RB: It is crazy. And you can't. And everything's filmed, everything's

by 8 00:28:57

recorded, and you can't give reaction or something. Whatever.

by 8 00:29:00

Um, and the other thing, dude, I'm super stoked for you. You're

by 8 00:29:03

heading out the Vale for a few, um, what, a couple

by 8 00:29:06

weeks? Well, 10 days or whatever, dude.

by 8 00:29:08

>> Jonathan: Yeah.

by 8 00:29:09

>> RB: Just. I have to tell you, one of my favorite

by 8 00:29:11

restaurants is out there in van. You want to guess?

by 8 00:29:14

>> Jonathan: Winona.

by 8 00:29:15

>> RB: Lenona. Um, just get it

by 8 00:29:18

to go box, freeze it, and ship it to me.

by 8 00:29:21

>> Jonathan: I could do that. And, you know, happy

by 8 00:29:24

anniversary again to you and Summer, because

by 8 00:29:27

I sent you a picture of you two, and that was from

by 8 00:29:29

Lenona. I took a picture of you guys.

by 8 00:29:31

>> RB: That was very nice. Yes.

by 8 00:29:33

>> Jonathan: Yeah. No, I can't wait. I

by 8 00:29:36

love.

by 8 00:29:36

>> RB: What's the Japanese place that you enjoy out there?

by 8 00:29:39

>> Jonathan: Matsuhisha.

by 8 00:29:40

>> RB: Yeah, Walks loves that place.

by 8 00:29:43

>> Jonathan: Yeah, Walks. Walks knows the manager.

by 8 00:29:46

So Matsuhisa, you can't really get a resi.

by 8 00:29:48

Like, you get a resi if you call a month in advance,

by 8 00:29:51

but if you're calling the week of. And you're like, yo, can I get something at

by 8 00:29:54

7? The answer is probably gonna be no.

by 8 00:29:56

>> RB: Yeah, not with walks.

by 8 00:29:58

>> Jonathan: Walks makes a phone call. Actually, I play with the guy. I play with

by 8 00:30:01

the guy with walks. We played Cordiera. Yeah, we played

by 8 00:30:04

Cordiera.

by 8 00:30:05

>> RB: Um, you can fish it all while you're out there.

by 8 00:30:07

>> Jonathan: Potentially. Yeah. Looking like maybe a

by 8 00:30:10

rafting. Floating trip.

by 8 00:30:12

>> RB: Nice trip.

by 8 00:30:13

>> Jonathan: Trip.

by 8 00:30:13

>> RB: Make sure you wear hikes preserver, Bud. I know that

by 8 00:30:16

hikes.

by 8 00:30:16

>> Jonathan: Um, I'm potentially taking the skinnies. I just

by 8 00:30:19

don't. I haven't at this point. I

by 8 00:30:22

probably should because I'll be thinking about my driver. If I don't touch a club

by 8 00:30:25

for eight days, I'll be thinking about my driver.

by 8 00:30:27

>> RB: Stayed open to playing, bud.

by 8 00:30:28

>> Jonathan: Yeah, I'm going to do that.

by 8 00:30:30

>> RB: Um, congratulations on getting top

by 8 00:30:32

15 at the state amateur, which gets you an

by 8 00:30:35

exemption into the state Open, which is. Where is it

by 8 00:30:38

this year?

by 8 00:30:39

>> Jonathan: Sleepy, uh, Hollow.

by 8 00:30:40

>> RB: Sleepy Hollow. Love that. That was a home course of Marshall

by 8 00:30:43

University, the Thundering Herd golf team. We loved

by 8 00:30:46

it.

by 8 00:30:46

>> Jonathan: I thought Guy Anne was.

by 8 00:30:48

>> RB: Guy Anne was our main one. And then Sleepy Hollow is our second

by 8 00:30:50

one. And then we would play

by 8 00:30:53

the Greenbrier. We would drive three hours to Greenbrier,

by 8 00:30:56

play 36 holes, and coach wouldn't let us stay there, so we had

by 8 00:30:59

to drive back. So.

by 8 00:31:02

But get you into the state Open at Sleepy

by 8 00:31:05

Hollow, which, that course could actually be pretty good for you. And

by 8 00:31:08

then, um, gets you an exemption in next year at the Greenware.

by 8 00:31:11

So you already know what you're doing next early

by 8 00:31:14

June.

by 8 00:31:15

>> Jonathan: Dude, I. I've played.

by 8 00:31:18

I played good. You know, I mean, I definitely left

by 8 00:31:20

some shots out there and so did everybody else. I'm not the only one. But I left

by 8 00:31:23

some easy shots out there, especially a four putt on the second hole of

by 8 00:31:26

the golf tournament. But any rate, I did not look at my

by 8 00:31:29

phone one time while I was playing golf. Like, it was in

by 8 00:31:32

my bag, dude, straight up. When

by 8 00:31:35

the moment I was going to the first tee, to the

by 8 00:31:38

moment I got done walking off the 18th green, I

by 8 00:31:41

did not see my phone. And, uh, what that does

by 8 00:31:44

for you as a golfer, it really

by 8 00:31:47

allows you to sink into your thoughts relative to golf at

by 8 00:31:50

that moment. So, like, if you hit a bad shot,

by 8 00:31:53

you're kind of married to that thought now to your next

by 8 00:31:56

shot, because you don't have anything to distract

by 8 00:31:59

you. You know, like, if you hit a bad shot playing with. With someone at

by 8 00:32:02

the Moose Club, I know you're gonna pull up Facebook or something.

by 8 00:32:05

You're gonna be like, hey, Derek, did you see this last night,

by 8 00:32:08

and then you're gonna drive your card over to your ball and forget. But, like,

by 8 00:32:11

I couldn't do that.

by 8 00:32:12

>> RB: Yeah.

by 8 00:32:13

>> Jonathan: So.

by 8 00:32:13

>> RB: Probably felt good.

by 8 00:32:16

>> Jonathan: It did. It did. But. But, dude, I

by 8 00:32:18

died so hard laughing

by 8 00:32:21

whenever I was in Zambos garage with

by 8 00:32:24

Ian and Blake. Zambos and Blake

by 8 00:32:26

can get a little extreme. I mean, Blake's a genius. He's into

by 8 00:32:29

chess. He loves the golf.

by 8 00:32:32

You know, he'll talk to you more about the golf swing and theories behind

by 8 00:32:35

the golf swing than anything. But,

by 8 00:32:39

you know, he. He's just in there doing his thing. He was working on

by 8 00:32:42

his little putting drill in the garage, and Ian

by 8 00:32:45

FaceTimes you. Dude. Pep, what's up?

by 8 00:32:48

I'm like, yo, Pep, what's up, dude? We're just. We're

by 8 00:32:51

just hanging, you know, and Blake's in the background

by 8 00:32:54

hitting some putts, and you and Ian

by 8 00:32:57

are talking, and I'm sitting there listening to

by 8 00:33:00

you guys, and you're watching Blake putt,

by 8 00:33:03

and you said something like.

by 8 00:33:05

>> RB: All I said was, you might want to work on that. That grip.

by 8 00:33:08

That, uh, putting grip.

by 8 00:33:10

>> Jonathan: That's right. That's all you said. Now, meanwhile, people,

by 8 00:33:13

Blake has no idea who the hell Pepe is on the.

by 8 00:33:16

>> RB: Phone, and I can't see him. I literally couldn't see.

by 8 00:33:19

I could just tell he was putting. I couldn't see a thing.

by 8 00:33:21

>> Jonathan: So he's got no idea who this cat is on the FaceTime, and all he

by 8 00:33:24

hears is, you might want to work on your grip. I'm

by 8 00:33:27

telling you what, dude. That set him off like no other,

by 8 00:33:30

and I witnessed it. Who'd

by 8 00:33:33

F for you? Who'd F for you? I'll

by 8 00:33:36

give you. Oh, is that what he

by 8 00:33:39

said? He told me that he would give.

by 8 00:33:40

>> RB: Me a shot of holes, and I said I'd, uh, take it.

by 8 00:33:43

>> Jonathan: That's right. He said a shot of hole, and then he. And then

by 8 00:33:46

the famous dude. Ready? Click.

by 8 00:33:48

>> RB: Hung up on you because he was. He was so hot under his

by 8 00:33:50

collar. Meanwhile, bud, I was just joking around

by 8 00:33:53

saying, you might want to work on my grip just to get him going. And,

by 8 00:33:56

I mean, if that got him going like that. He doesn't want

by 8 00:33:59

to play golf with me, man, because.

by 8 00:34:02

>> Jonathan: No. Uh, he might kill him.

by 8 00:34:05

You guys. You guys. Well, I

by 8 00:34:08

mean, I love Blake. Blake's. He's hilarious.

by 8 00:34:10

>> RB: He's a nice kid. I've met him, um, a bunch,

by 8 00:34:12

but.

by 8 00:34:13

>> Jonathan: He just didn't know who it was, I guess, apparently. And you know. And

by 8 00:34:16

you know what? I was out at the range

by 8 00:34:19

once. This was earlier this spring. I'm just

by 8 00:34:22

Hitting balls, you know, And Blake comes over to the range to

by 8 00:34:25

start hitting balls, and he's watching me hit and.

by 8 00:34:29

And he starts getting behind me, like, grabbing my arm,

by 8 00:34:31

taking me through the backswing, and I'm like,

by 8 00:34:34

all right.

by 8 00:34:35

And he's like, you know, you, you. You got to

by 8 00:34:38

do this to hit this penetrating flight, you know, you flight

by 8 00:34:40

it. I'm like, okay.

by 8 00:34:44

But like, he's given me one of those old school.

by 8 00:34:47

Like, he's just giving me a lesson. I didn't even ask.

by 8 00:34:50

I mean, he just got my arm back. I'm standing

by 8 00:34:53

there. It's like he's behind me kind of in a bear hug

by 8 00:34:56

move. And I'm feeling like, what the hell

by 8 00:34:59

is going on here? What is he doing? But

by 8 00:35:02

he's super smart. I love him. I do love him.

by 8 00:35:05

And I'm excited to see Zambos at the, uh,

by 8 00:35:08

two man. But, um, that's what made me think about that

by 8 00:35:11

story. Whenever you were talking about the AM at the Greenbrier. I

by 8 00:35:14

brought that up because that was a good one, dude. That was funny.

by 8 00:35:16

>> RB: That was a good one. I kind of forgot about it with this being

by 8 00:35:19

the, uh, fourth of July, you know, the

by 8 00:35:22

big thing is. And again, you know, not that you're

by 8 00:35:25

snooty, but I don't know if you really like to get down with a

by 8 00:35:27

cheeseburger. But, um, he.

by 8 00:35:29

>> Jonathan: Shut the hell up, dude.

by 8 00:35:32

>> RB: But what is your ideal

by 8 00:35:35

fourth of July picnic plate look

by 8 00:35:38

like?

by 8 00:35:38

>> Jonathan: Oh, dude. I mean, you gotta go with some BBQ

by 8 00:35:41

chicken.

by 8 00:35:42

>> RB: Mhm.

by 8 00:35:43

>> Jonathan: Couple dogs. Dude. I've been on the. So for a snooty guy

by 8 00:35:46

like me, I've been on the dog train lately.

by 8 00:35:48

>> RB: It goes on your dog.

by 8 00:35:49

>> Jonathan: Ketchup, mustard, and sometimes a little bit of relish.

by 8 00:35:52

>> RB: Okay.

by 8 00:35:53

>> Jonathan: Keep it plain. A nice brioche bun. You know,

by 8 00:35:56

none of those sunny bun shit. Just a nice brioche.

by 8 00:35:59

I've been on a dog lately, so if

by 8 00:36:02

there were some dogs on the grill, I'd throw a couple in a bun and

by 8 00:36:05

eat them. Uh-huh. Um, but barbecue chicken would

by 8 00:36:08

be my. And then maybe a little macaroni

by 8 00:36:11

salad, man.

by 8 00:36:11

>> RB: See, just a little.

by 8 00:36:12

>> Jonathan: With a little crunch.

by 8 00:36:14

>> RB: See, I'm. I like a potato, uh,

by 8 00:36:16

salad. Love deviled eggs. Oh, love

by 8 00:36:19

deviled eggs. Um, some. Some

by 8 00:36:22

barbecue chicken wings. And then I go

by 8 00:36:25

with the. The hot dogs. I. I like a

by 8 00:36:28

little coleslaw, onion

by 8 00:36:31

relish and mustard on my

by 8 00:36:33

dog.

by 8 00:36:34

>> Jonathan: Dude, that's all American right there.

by 8 00:36:37

>> RB: A lot in a lot of the barbecues, you

by 8 00:36:40

know, they don't have chili readily accessible

by 8 00:36:43

for a Carolina Dog, which is chili

by 8 00:36:46

and the coleslaw and a little mustard and onion on there.

by 8 00:36:49

But that's kind of. I love that. That is

by 8 00:36:51

that, man. I can't wait.

by 8 00:36:53

>> Jonathan: Now, I know you're a sucker for dessert. I know you love your big

by 8 00:36:56

chocolate cakes and shit like that. So what's your,

by 8 00:36:59

uh. What are you kind of chasing down with

by 8 00:37:02

that after you eat?

by 8 00:37:03

>> RB: I'm like a kid. I like a brownie.

by 8 00:37:06

Well, I love brownies. Or like

by 8 00:37:09

a chocolate chip cookie dough with sprinkles on it.

by 8 00:37:12

>> Jonathan: What about watermelon?

by 8 00:37:15

>> RB: It's okay.

by 8 00:37:16

>> Jonathan: I love watermelon.

by 8 00:37:17

>> RB: Dude. Dude, have you ate this watermelon? This craze of this. What's

by 8 00:37:20

this tataki? The. The, um, Mexican

by 8 00:37:23

seasoning tataki or something?

by 8 00:37:25

>> Jonathan: Yeah. Yeah. I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah. Huh.

by 8 00:37:28

>> RB: Summer, I came home one day, she said, hey. She said, try this

by 8 00:37:31

watermelon. And I tried it. Dude. Out of this world. She

by 8 00:37:33

sprinkled that on the watermelon.

by 8 00:37:35

>> Jonathan: No way. World. Yeah. That little red stuff.

by 8 00:37:38

>> RB: Yes. A little bottle.

by 8 00:37:40

>> Jonathan: Yeah.

by 8 00:37:40

>> RB: You sprinkled on there. And she did. She

by 8 00:37:43

knocked my socks off with that.

by 8 00:37:45

>> Jonathan: Yeah. Uh, uh. He probably knocked herself, too.

by 8 00:37:47

>> RB: Yeah.

by 8 00:37:48

>> Jonathan: Down in St. Lucia. How was St. Lucia?

by 8 00:37:49

>> RB: It was great. It was great. It was great. I got

by 8 00:37:52

fried as you saw the photo, so.

by 8 00:37:55

>> Jonathan: Yeah, you were definitely a lobster.

by 8 00:37:58

That's good, man. I'm glad you guys got away. And the disconnect.

by 8 00:38:01

>> RB: Yeah. But now I'm turning the golf game on. I played three

by 8 00:38:04

full rounds of golf in June. I had a

by 8 00:38:07

little, little hiccup there for a couple weeks, but

by 8 00:38:11

I am turning it on for the moose member

by 8 00:38:14

guest. And then going into the two. Man. So I'm

by 8 00:38:17

going to be playing, um, some golf. And then come

by 8 00:38:20

August, dude, I'm back on the road and I can't wait. I'm super excited to

by 8 00:38:23

get back on the road and out seeing the jewelry stores.

by 8 00:38:26

>> Jonathan: Well, I mean, based upon the last time we played golf,

by 8 00:38:28

bcats forgot he was golfing. So he's

by 8 00:38:31

still working.

by 8 00:38:32

>> RB: Yep.

by 8 00:38:33

>> Jonathan: Um, and, you know, we gotta have a little chat with our

by 8 00:38:35

buddy.

by 8 00:38:36

>> RB: We do have to have a little. We do.

by 8 00:38:37

>> Jonathan: We gotta have a little chat with him because it's.

by 8 00:38:40

I mean, you know, there's two things about

by 8 00:38:43

golfers. Number one,

by 8 00:38:46

when we see a golfer, we're like, you know, what's. What's the

by 8 00:38:49

common talking point? When you see a golfer, you see a buddy

by 8 00:38:52

out somewhere. That's golf. That you know from golf. What do you

by 8 00:38:55

say? We ought to get out sometime. I Mean, Yeah. And

by 8 00:38:57

what's the answer? Yeah, let's do it. Definitely.

by 8 00:39:01

Yeah. And guess what? It never happens, okay? It never

by 8 00:39:03

happened. You end up going back to your comfort

by 8 00:39:06

zone of who you play with, when you play and where.

by 8 00:39:09

You know, I see a guy at Oakmont at the

by 8 00:39:12

US Open bash, we gotta get out, you know, And

by 8 00:39:15

I'm like, shit, yeah, dude, let's go.

by 8 00:39:18

You know, And I would. I'm all, you know,

by 8 00:39:21

I'm not snooty like that. Um, I'd love to do it, but it's like,

by 8 00:39:24

it falls apart. Everything falls apart. It's just

by 8 00:39:27

your comfort zone. So when I get back, it's like, me, you,

by 8 00:39:30

bk, go play. And then the second thing is

by 8 00:39:34

the phones. Absolute awful on the. On the

by 8 00:39:37

chorus. It takes away the whole experience. Yeah.

by 8 00:39:39

>> RB: Now, I remember when you first got our phones, we would leave

by 8 00:39:42

them in the car and leave them in the locker. I would. I would love

by 8 00:39:45

to be. To. To do that sometime, because it would be

by 8 00:39:48

amazing how much you would enjoy your round of golf and. And

by 8 00:39:51

I mean, some of itself afflicted, too. But.

by 8 00:39:54

>> Jonathan: Yeah, no, I know. I'm not picking on

by 8 00:39:57

you, bk. I know you're gonna listen and send us a text, but I'm not.

by 8 00:40:00

I'm not. I'm not.

by 8 00:40:01

>> RB: We just want you to have fun and enjoy a moment.

by 8 00:40:04

>> Jonathan: I want everybody out there who's listening, who wants to

by 8 00:40:07

golf to know that the phone is a huge

by 8 00:40:10

distraction. Now, if you're trying to get some content and, you know,

by 8 00:40:12

post some cool that you want to, you know, feel good about,

by 8 00:40:15

then that's a different story. You do that once and then you edit it

by 8 00:40:18

after golf. All good.

by 8 00:40:20

Um, but while you're playing golf, man, enjoy the

by 8 00:40:23

moment. There's nothing better than just being in the moment.

by 8 00:40:27

>> RB: Y' all getting up with the boys, smoking cigars.

by 8 00:40:29

Um. How many cigars I smoked that day, by the way?

by 8 00:40:32

>> Jonathan: Zero. Yeah. Yeah, you.

by 8 00:40:36

You're. You're doing good.

by 8 00:40:37

>> RB: So, um, I am going to be smoking a

by 8 00:40:40

cigar and maybe lighting some fireworks from the end

by 8 00:40:43

of that, um, here on the Fourth of July.

by 8 00:40:46

And, dude, I hope that you enjoy. And I know that you're gonna.

by 8 00:40:49

Veil's like your little, little piece of heaven for

by 8 00:40:52

you, and I love that for you because you go there and

by 8 00:40:55

you. And I really don't even talk. I really don't even bother you. You don't.

by 8 00:40:58

I don't hear from you. And that's good, because I know that

by 8 00:41:00

you are calm. You're

by 8 00:41:03

out there. You're within nature.

by 8 00:41:06

>> Jonathan: Yeah.

by 8 00:41:06

>> RB: And uh, you know, the ice tub

by 8 00:41:09

and in the hot. All that stuff, dude.

by 8 00:41:12

>> Jonathan: Yeah.

by 8 00:41:12

>> RB: Go enjoy yourself out there. Just eat a nice meal at Lenona for

by 8 00:41:15

me.

by 8 00:41:16

>> Jonathan: I will, actually, uh, I'll eat two good meals for you because I'm going

by 8 00:41:19

twice. But I will talk to you, and, um,

by 8 00:41:22

you know, we'll be in the mix on something, I'm sure some

by 8 00:41:25

baseball game or something. Yeah.

by 8 00:41:27

Um, but if you're planning on lighting

by 8 00:41:30

fireworks, man, just don't blow your hands up.

by 8 00:41:33

Don't do it. You know, just watch. Be a

by 8 00:41:35

spectator. Yeah, be a spectator. Shout out

by 8 00:41:38

to me. Shout out, rb for my. My T

by 8 00:41:41

shirt design. My first T shirt design here. If you guys are watching

by 8 00:41:44

this, it's.

by 8 00:41:46

>> RB: A sweet T shirt. I. I've worn it probably four or

by 8 00:41:49

five times, and I've gotten compliments every time, but I

by 8 00:41:52

was in St. Lucia, and the one worker said,

by 8 00:41:55

reading, swinging easy. He said, swinging easy, huh? Meanwhile, uh,

by 8 00:41:59

I'm thinking this guy probably thinks I'm a swinger because he

by 8 00:42:02

hasn't seen the back of it yet. And,

by 8 00:42:05

like, just. You could just tell this guy was

by 8 00:42:07

disheveled that I had swinging easy on the front of my T

by 8 00:42:10

shirt. So, um. But it is a good

by 8 00:42:13

one. I like the color scheme. I like the back.

by 8 00:42:16

Wait till people see the T shirt as one of the gifts for, uh, the

by 8 00:42:19

two.

by 8 00:42:19

>> Jonathan: Man, oh, man, that's a good one. Yeah, that's

by 8 00:42:22

a good one. But

by 8 00:42:25

I got nothing else to say, man. It's always good to yuck it up with you

by 8 00:42:28

sometimes. Just me and you doing our thing, you know,

by 8 00:42:31

unleashing hell on each other for a minute.

by 8 00:42:35

And, uh, you know, we had a little. You had a little

by 8 00:42:37

catastrophe before.

by 8 00:42:39

>> RB: You couldn't draft and everything.

by 8 00:42:40

>> Jonathan: So we do got to work on that with you a little bit. And

by 8 00:42:43

just. Let's just remember, it's not.

by 8 00:42:46

It's just not that big of a deal if the mic doesn't work

by 8 00:42:49

like, it's going to work at some point. All

by 8 00:42:52

right?

by 8 00:42:52

>> RB: But I appreciate that, Ryan.

by 8 00:42:55

>> Jonathan: Yeah.
