>> Jonathan: Man, I don't know about y' all out there tuning in
Speaker:today here on Chasing Birdies, but Thursdays just
Speaker:feel better when we have a drop. It's just kind
Speaker:of. It's just tradition for me, you know, every
Speaker:other week or so we get to do this together. Have
Speaker:an interview, have a guest, have a banner session,
Speaker:whatever you want to call it. Let it fly, buddy.
Speaker:Let it fly, J.P. that's what we're here for today,
Speaker:the airing of grievances.
Speaker:>> RB: I love it. I love it.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: How you been?
Speaker:>> RB: Everything good?
Speaker:>> Jonathan: I'm great. I'm great. You know, I'm great. I
Speaker:think. I think the morning mindset is, um, is what
Speaker:sets the days apart. And I mean that. I mean, I
Speaker:know this is off topic from anything golfer silly
Speaker:that we talk about.
Speaker:>> RB: There you go.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: But it is, man.
Speaker:>> RB: Why don't you dive into that a little bit?
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Well, the way you start your day with. With a
Speaker:routine in place, whatever it is, whether it's a
Speaker:walk, a read, a prayer, a meditation, something in
Speaker:that quiet stillness of the morning between 5, 6,
Speaker:whatever, 6, 7, 5 and 6, uh, it just gets you
Speaker:going, dude. And from there, the rest of the day
Speaker:kind of just unfolds.
Speaker:>> RB: So, yeah, kind of all falls into place. Right?
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Yeah. You know, and I think people, again, I'm,
Speaker:um. I just think people sometimes bear a lot,
Speaker:especially with the responsibilities of life, and
Speaker:it weighs people down and oftentimes they don't
Speaker:know how to escape or become what they would feel
Speaker:relaxed. So, you know, people rely on alcohol and
Speaker:drugs to get shit done like that. But I'm just
Speaker:telling people right now, listen, it can just
Speaker:start with the mindset, period.
Speaker:>> RB: Mhm.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: That's all it is. That's all it is.
Speaker:>> RB: Well, it's hard. There's a lot going on in this
Speaker:world right now. There is a lot going on. I just
Speaker:had that conversation with somebody the other day.
Speaker:I said, isn't it crazy? Our parents. I feel like
Speaker:our parents didn't have to go through a lot of
Speaker:what we're going through. Right? Like navigating.
Speaker:I think like we are navigating on a daily basis.
Speaker:Just, you know, it's so different circumstances.
Speaker:We've been dealt all kinds of things.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: So different.
Speaker:>> RB: Yeah, it's just a wild time to be an American now.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: It's all perspective though, you know, because
Speaker:like, here's an example. I'll use this. So like,
Speaker:if I. If I was betting on a team and they were
Speaker:down 21, nothing, and they somehow came back and
Speaker:tied it up 21 21.
Speaker:>> RB: Mm.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: I'd be stoked, right? If my team was down 21
Speaker:nothing and they tied it up, I would say I have a
Speaker:chance. But if my team that I bet on was up 21
Speaker:nothing and they allowed 21 points unanswered and
Speaker:tied the game up, I'd be mad. But guess what? I'm
Speaker:in the same position on both. It's just how you
Speaker:look at it. You still got a shot. So that's what I
Speaker:tell myself every weekend.
Speaker:>> RB: There you go. You always have, man.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: It's good to see you, bud.
Speaker:>> RB: Uh, yeah, I mean, like, for me, I start my morning
Speaker:routine a lot with a cup of coffee, some shit, uh,
Speaker:vitamin C, scroll the phone a little bit. Um, you
Speaker:know, I've taken a breather from one social media,
Speaker:which has been, I will be honest, phenomenal for
Speaker:my mental health. Um, just not scrolling that all
Speaker:day long. My time on my phone's been cut down
Speaker:significantly. Um, but it's been nice, dude. It's
Speaker:been. I kind of miss seeing everybody, you know,
Speaker:it's like one of those things. Like, I miss it,
Speaker:but also it's been so nice. Um, and then, you
Speaker:know, like, today I went on to Vuori.com. guess
Speaker:what, bud? Guess what?
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Made an order.
Speaker:>> RB: No. Another drop that is out of this world. And
Speaker:there is a ton of new stuff on Vuori.com.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Check it. Uh, I'm telling you, dude, this jacket.
Speaker:I can't take this jacket off. Like, I sleep in his
Speaker:jacket. I wake up, I have this jacket on. I go to
Speaker:bed, jacket on.
Speaker:>> RB: They just came out with that today in green. So
Speaker:maybe look behind the green one, bud. Maybe switch
Speaker:it up a little bit.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: But, yeah, you were talking. It is. It's a little
Speaker:bit different nowadays. And everything's, uh, at
Speaker:your fingertips. Um, so you just kind of got to
Speaker:get the, uh. Now you. That's what I was getting
Speaker:on.
Speaker:You mentioned the coffee thing. You know you a big
Speaker:coffee drinker, right? Yeah.
Speaker:>> RB: Five cups a day.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Black.
Speaker:>> RB: Black coffee. My first cup of coffee, I put the
Speaker:Shilajean, and then I just drink the rest
Speaker:straight. So I have about five a day.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: There's this coffee roasting company out of
Speaker:Delaware called Brandywine Coffee Roasters. Brandy
Speaker:wine, B R A N D Y. And they have the, like. They
Speaker:have these, like, bags of coffee that have, like,
Speaker:different art features on them. It's so cool.
Speaker:Like, it's just. It's just kind of. I don't know,
Speaker:it's far out. But I had a cup of their coffee And
Speaker:I was like, God, this coffee is phenomenal. Yeah,
Speaker:this coffee is phenomenal. It's good. And they
Speaker:were talking about the flavors you could taste. It
Speaker:was like marshmallow, um, chocolates, berries.
Speaker:Kind of like the one. The notes.
Speaker:>> RB: I can't get into the notes.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Well, because I have a hard time deciphering too,
Speaker:you know. So this, this one said we pick up the
Speaker:marshmallow, you know, And I'm all, yeah, I
Speaker:totally get into it. So I went on and I ordered a
Speaker:shit ton of their coffee. So I have all but usps
Speaker:because the shutdown is happening right now.
Speaker:>> RB: Apparently in the country, you get screwed.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Uh, like now it's like, hey, instead of a three
Speaker:day express delivery, it's like three weeks. I'm
Speaker:like, my coffee still by the time it gets here. M.
Speaker:You know, so I waited patiently. And not to
Speaker:mention my lady, if there's a little bit. If
Speaker:there's like a half a pot left and it's been
Speaker:sitting out for like 35 minutes, it's still hot.
Speaker:Well, she gotta dump it out, boys. It's not fresh.
Speaker:So next thing you know, my brand new wine coffee,
Speaker:I'm going through like a bag a day of beans just
Speaker:to keep up with what's called a fresh pot of
Speaker:coffee.
Speaker:>> RB: Well, that's like just going down to the old wine
Speaker:cellar and grabbing a nice bottle of wine that
Speaker:says reserve and just having it on a Tuesday
Speaker:night.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Well, I thought it was good because it was so old.
Speaker:Well, yeah, that's right.
Speaker:>> RB: But you got to send me that coffee. Um, you got to
Speaker:send me that coffee company, because I totally
Speaker:will. Is it. Does it come ground or is it no
Speaker:beans?
Speaker:>> Jonathan: It's whole beans. But I'm telling you, the bags
Speaker:are so dope. It's all like this weird art and the
Speaker:flavors incredible. So I was at a coffee shop in
Speaker:Thomas, West Virginia, called Tip Top, and I got
Speaker:a. Have you ever had a pour over?
Speaker:>> RB: Yeah, it's really good.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: So it was great.
Speaker:>> RB: It's. It's great. But. But like, can we. Let's
Speaker:speed it up a little bit. Like, I just want my
Speaker:coffee. Let's go. I'm sitting there watching this
Speaker:guy tell me about how many times he's pouring hot
Speaker:water over the beans. And I'm sitting there like,
Speaker:just. Come on, bud. Like, I get it. It's a great
Speaker:art. Like, let's. Like that's not like, it's. If
Speaker:somebody else is getting it for me, great. You
Speaker:know, I don't have to wait there. But if I have to
Speaker:sit there and wait and watch this guy pour hot
Speaker:coffee over the grounds. I can't do it, dude. I
Speaker:lose my mind.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Yeah, you definitely can't like just sit there
Speaker:though, bud. Like read a book for 10 seconds. I
Speaker:know it takes a little bit of time, but the coffee
Speaker:tastes so good. So anyways, I got this pour over
Speaker:called a Diego pour over. But they didn't ask me
Speaker:for my name. So I'm in this coffee shop and
Speaker:there's like 20 people there and I'm all standing
Speaker:around and the guy just yells out, he yells Diego.
Speaker:And I'm like looking around and I'm like, fuck,
Speaker:that's me. So I'm like, yep, that's me. So I walk
Speaker:up and get my coffee. So everyone probably thought
Speaker:my name was Diego.
Speaker:>> RB: Well, you kind of look like a Diego.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: So how was your last weekend of October, bud?
Speaker:Halloween was last week. Last Friday kicked off
Speaker:November already. It was great. Did you get any
Speaker:trick or treating done?
Speaker:>> RB: Yeah, we got a lot of trick or treating done. Rode
Speaker:um, around with Parker for about two and a half
Speaker:hours on the phat scooter. Like I told you
Speaker:earlier, I just put it away. I always put it away
Speaker:about two days after Halloween because I drive
Speaker:around on the fat scooter, light on, protecting
Speaker:everybody. Um, cooler full beers for parents to
Speaker:grab a beer if they'd like one. And then I tie
Speaker:three or four bags, additional bags onto the back
Speaker:so that Parker and his little buddies can dump
Speaker:their candy in. And Parker and his buddies, since
Speaker:it was Friday, um, he dumped three times, boys,
Speaker:like the bag was dragging.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: No way.
Speaker:>> RB: On the concrete. I indulged in far too many. Well,
Speaker:and the problem is ultras.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Well, number one, you sound, that's pretty clever.
Speaker:But number two, the problem is with these kids,
Speaker:they get the candy and they think like it's,
Speaker:they're never gonna get candy again in their life,
Speaker:right?
Speaker:>> RB: Dude, he, him and his friends throw the candy away
Speaker:the whole time for 2 hours and 20 minutes. They
Speaker:ran the whole entire time house to house. I'm
Speaker:thinking like, maybe we just like walk and enjoy
Speaker:the day. But they had a mission, dude, and they
Speaker:accomplished it.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: So I heard a story of a trick or treater getting
Speaker:mad some kid because he only got one piece of
Speaker:candy from someone's house. And he said, what do
Speaker:you mean you're only giving me one piece of candy?
Speaker:And they said, well, because we got other trick or
Speaker:treaters to come man, we gotta share. And he's
Speaker:like, you guys are cheap.
Speaker:>> RB: Mhm.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: And he kind of walked off. He's like a six year
Speaker:old.
Speaker:>> RB: Mhm.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: And I said, see, that tells a whole story right
Speaker:there.
Speaker:>> RB: Hm.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Tells the whole story.
Speaker:>> RB: So he did that. And Parker, um, must have a thing
Speaker:for LSU athletes. Paul Skeens, favorite gymnast.
Speaker:What have he done? Maybe that's his dad's favorite
Speaker:gymnast. That's none of your business. Um, and his
Speaker:favorite football player is Justin Jefferson. So I
Speaker:texted, uh, our buddies up there, Joe Strong, Andy
Speaker:Brown, about, hey, if you hear of two tickets, let
Speaker:me know. And, and you know, I'll, I'll, uh, venmo
Speaker:you for the tickets or whatever needs to happen to
Speaker:get them done. That was on a Tuesday. On a
Speaker:Thursday, I get a text message, yo, got you two
Speaker:tickets. Just get up here. Saturday night, Sunday,
Speaker:we'll go to the game. P.S. parker's going to love
Speaker:the seats. And I'm like, okay, let me know what I
Speaker:owe. He said nothing, which is far too kind.
Speaker:They're great, Joe and Andy and Joe's girlfriend.
Speaker:Everybody was great. Everybody was great. Gave him
Speaker:a, uh. So we moseyed on up to Detroit, had dinner,
Speaker:went to some different stores. The buzzer went off
Speaker:every time we walked in the store. I thought
Speaker:Parker might have stole something from one store.
Speaker:Like, long story short, there was nothing stolen.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Um, steeled.
Speaker:>> RB: And then I fell asleep, uh, during the baseball
Speaker:game and Parker. I woke up to Parker throwing the
Speaker:computer chair in the room because he wanted the
Speaker:Toronto Blue Jays to win because our hotel was
Speaker:looking into Canada and he thought there would be
Speaker:fireworks. Oh no. So they lost, um, but we went to
Speaker:the game and it was incredible, dude. The Detroit
Speaker:Lions, minus nine and a half, um, took them.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Terrible bet.
Speaker:>> RB: The Vikings won 27, 24. And we were the first row
Speaker:on the field. There was one row in front of us
Speaker:that the guy next to me was like a season ticket
Speaker:holder. And he was so upset. He said, I've had
Speaker:these seats my whole entire life. They just put
Speaker:this row in. It's like a VIP experience, right?
Speaker:It's that row than us. There's nobody else. But it
Speaker:was like, you know, uh, you want beers, they'll go
Speaker:get them for you. You want snacks, I'll go get
Speaker:them for you. Um, so he had Justin Jefferson
Speaker:scored, he got hurt, he came back. It was, it was
Speaker:a full day of emotions and he had the absolute
Speaker:best time, dude. So it was really fun to watch him
Speaker:smile the whole time.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Yeah, no, that's cool, man. Yeah, I was kind of, I
Speaker:was kind of perplexed While you were going to
Speaker:Detroit to, uh. It makes sense now, knowing
Speaker:Parker, you know. Yeah, Parker's obsessed with jj,
Speaker:but yeah, that was, that was like the number one
Speaker:bet game last week on the whole board, not just
Speaker:football. I feel like I read somewhere that that
Speaker:game was number one bet, like the whole weekend of
Speaker:all sporting events. It was Detroit over
Speaker:Minnesota.
Speaker:>> RB: Well, we couldn't have gotten it wrong.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: And I knew when one person that I know texted me
Speaker:and told me that their lock of the day, their lock
Speaker:of the day was Detroit, I knew better than to sit
Speaker:there and buy into your BS just because you were
Speaker:at the game and you got to root for the home team.
Speaker:And so what happened? We went down together, bud.
Speaker:>> RB: Mhm, mhm. We went down swinging.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Um, you know, if you would have faded me, um,
Speaker:predominantly Sunday afternoon, 4 o' clock into
Speaker:the evening, a wealthy man this afternoon, you'd
Speaker:have been on tall cotton. Yeah, but we live and
Speaker:die together, dude. You, you had a great run in
Speaker:the baseball, I gotta tell you. Um, and that, that
Speaker:was a pretty good game, um, Saturday night, but
Speaker:you had a, you had a streak going.
Speaker:>> RB: The, the baseball playoffs treated me really well
Speaker:until the last two games is where I thought the
Speaker:last game, the game seven, I thought when it was,
Speaker:when it went to four, three, I'm like, the Blue
Speaker:Jays are not winning this game.
Speaker:They're just not winning this game. There's just
Speaker:too much firepower on the other side. I had the
Speaker:Blue Jays, I think, at plus 136 and, uh, they lost
Speaker:an extra innings, naturally.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: So, yeah, yeah, it was, it was, it was
Speaker:entertaining. So it, I've learned that the more
Speaker:games you bet, the less luck you have. I mean,
Speaker:I've learned that, okay. I've learned that year in
Speaker:and year out for however many years, 30 years,
Speaker:probably 25 anyways. So what I, what I really
Speaker:think that I'm just going to do now is I've been
Speaker:having a lot of fun on my little fanduel app doing
Speaker:these like, 11, 20 team parlays. 11, 15 team
Speaker:parlays. And I've been really having a good time
Speaker:hitting like 10 out of 11, 9 out of 11. Been doing
Speaker:that great. But the payouts are so long, large,
Speaker:and obviously your chances of hitting them, um,
Speaker:are virtually impossible.
Speaker:>> RB: Yeah. But if you do.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: But it's like 20 bucks for 75 grand. Bingo. Okay,
Speaker:so I did that, uh, shit. Yes. On Sunday with money
Speaker:lines of like all the football games. I was like,
Speaker:I could pick every winner today just on the money
Speaker:line. Screw the spread.
Speaker:>> RB: Yeah.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: I'm just picking the money line winners. Right. So
Speaker:naturally, I threw Pittsburgh in there. I threw
Speaker:the Bears in there. I, uh, threw Detroit in there.
Speaker:>> RB: Yeah.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: But I did not pick Carolina over Green Bay.
Speaker:>> RB: They were going nuts. They. They broke the game.
Speaker:They showed the game some highlights during the.
Speaker:The Detroit game. And that crowd was going nuts
Speaker:that Green Bay was losing.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Yeah, uh, but. But that. See, that's kind of fun,
Speaker:though, because now it's like, okay, instead of,
Speaker:like, all this straight money on the game, you
Speaker:got, like, you got like 12 teams out there. But 50
Speaker:bucks, it's like 130 grand, right? Insane. And I'm
Speaker:like, that's. That's cool. So I'm gonna not lose.
Speaker:>> RB: And you know what? If anyone's gonna hit one of
Speaker:those, I know it's gonna be, uh.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: You're right. You're right. I am gonna hit it.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:>> RB: And when you do, it's gonna be for a lot, and I
Speaker:know it. That's just. That's how the cookie
Speaker:crumbles of Ryan Bashar.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Well, you know, it's just, hey, the little engine
Speaker:that could. I'm just trying to keep it straight.
Speaker:So I had to go to a Halloween party last Saturday
Speaker:night. And, you know, I'm dressed up as Sonny.
Speaker:Sonny boning, I was calling myself at night, or
Speaker:Sonny, uh, Boner one or the other. But I'm
Speaker:standing in the kitchen, and they have this spread
Speaker:of food. It's like they roasted a pig in the
Speaker:morning. They got pork sliders everywhere. They
Speaker:got these queso dips with salsa and these nachos.
Speaker:And sitting on the stovetop are about five bags,
Speaker:unopened, of just corn tortilla chips.
Speaker:>> RB: Oh, dip.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: So some mishap, um, was going on in the kitchen
Speaker:with the host. He had a spoon, and he was hitting
Speaker:everybody with the spoon. They run around in
Speaker:circles in the kitchen, and I told the gal
Speaker:standing to my left, I said, this is going to be a
Speaker:liability. We're watching it happen. Because the
Speaker:girl that he's chasing is going to bust her head
Speaker:on the cabinet or the countertop and shit's going
Speaker:to happen. No sooner than I say that, boys,
Speaker:they're running past the stovetop oven, not gas
Speaker:powered, by the way, and they bump into the knob
Speaker:boys, and the Sparta, the. The spark lights, and
Speaker:every bag of chips just caught on fire. And it was
Speaker:raging, dude. Up into the. Up into the overdraft,
Speaker:whatever it's called there. So my buddy, he's
Speaker:standing next to me, Chris is standing right next
Speaker:to me. And he's watching it. This is his house.
Speaker:And he's looking at it, and he goes, well, we have
Speaker:a fire. And I'm like, you think so? People? This
Speaker:is the greatest thing in the world. People turn to
Speaker:sink on and get little cups of coffee and start
Speaker:the. There's a water faucet hanging off the wall
Speaker:to fill up the pasta bowls with. Yeah, it's just
Speaker:so. It's like, uh, hello? You know someone. Yeah,
Speaker:someone. Finally, after the fire almost burnt the
Speaker:house down, realized that, and so it created a
Speaker:mess. Party went on.
Speaker:>> RB: So nobody got an apartment come or anything? No
Speaker:smoke detectors going off?
Speaker:>> Jonathan: No. Apparently one of the guys was, like, a
Speaker:firefighter, like, in real life, you know, and,
Speaker:uh, fire. Well, yeah, hey, TK could have fought
Speaker:that fire. I guarantee it. I guarantee it. But
Speaker:this guy was there grabbing shit with his hands,
Speaker:and I come to find out that he is, in some
Speaker:capacity, a fireman.
Speaker:>> RB: But, um, I do want to. I know we're talking about
Speaker:a lot of things that's. I love that story. For the
Speaker:simple fact that Chris just kind of. Oh, man.
Speaker:Well, we got a fire. Me, I would be freaking out.
Speaker:I do want to comment on, uh, Nemacol real quick,
Speaker:just for the fact that we. I've played there twice
Speaker:in the last two weeks, dude. And when I tell you
Speaker:their greens are on fire, I'm not exaggerating.
Speaker:Like, they are smooth and they are fast as. It's
Speaker:incredible. The whole golf course is in great
Speaker:shape. Like, in incredible shape. And we had a
Speaker:hooting time. Play a little LCR one day. The other
Speaker:day, we played Blind Man Draw. Two foursomes. We
Speaker:had a good time. We had a hooting time.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: It's kind of that in between time where any chance
Speaker:you get now you kind of want to try to take
Speaker:advantage of it. You know what I mean?
Speaker:>> RB: Yeah.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Because we know it's coming. But here's the
Speaker:reality, dude. It's like the way time goes so
Speaker:fast. I look back and think about August. I look
Speaker:back and think about July, and that seems like
Speaker:yesterday, dude. And we're talking. That is three
Speaker:and four months away. I mean, behind us. Three and
Speaker:four months behind us. So you know what? In three
Speaker:months, looking ahead is going to be February. I'm
Speaker:sure BCATS is going to throw us an old invite out,
Speaker:maybe to the old Pelican Club down there in Tampa,
Speaker:Clearwater. Um, I'm sure he's gonna want to mosey
Speaker:on down there for a round in January. And, you
Speaker:know, golf's gonna be starting right back up,
Speaker:leading off with. With the old pine needle stuff.
Speaker:But you're absolutely right, man. The golf course
Speaker:has responded so well because I think the weather
Speaker:and the greens and it's been sunny, it's ripping,
Speaker:a little rain. It's great.
Speaker:>> RB: It's been great.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: I don't think a driver.
Speaker:>> RB: So my driver's cracked, which yours truly
Speaker:discovered that. Because I'm like. And actually, I
Speaker:talked to Eric Childers about this. Did he reach
Speaker:out to you?
Speaker:>> Jonathan: No, he didn't, but I. Wait. He did not. But I'm
Speaker:gonna wait for the new one.
Speaker:>> RB: Well, he. He had called me about something and we
Speaker:were just chatting and I said, oh.
Speaker:I said, oh, my God. I said, we. Because, uh, I
Speaker:know you're not like that at all. But I said we
Speaker:were playing golf. I said, bashes. I said, I
Speaker:noticed something on bashes, like the toe where it
Speaker:says Titleist. And it was cracked. And I said it
Speaker:was. I think it. It was causing a little higher
Speaker:ball and like spinnier. He's like, really? He's
Speaker:like, oh, man, I gotta reach out to him. He's
Speaker:like, they'll just send him a new head to at least
Speaker:hold him over.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Well, uh, I mean.
Speaker:>> RB: So Titleist, you know, like, um. Wake up.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Well, hey, that thing, the new one. Yeah. I
Speaker:probably should get a new head, especially to get
Speaker:me through the beginning part of next season.
Speaker:>> RB: Well, dude, I mean, you don't know. What if you
Speaker:don't like the new one, you're banking on liking
Speaker:it. It might not be for you.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: And that's.
Speaker:>> RB: I mean, I know you go get fit by some blind guy
Speaker:down the street, but it might not be the right
Speaker:head for you.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: My. My dad, he was at the house and I was. He was
Speaker:talking about his club fitting. You know, we were
Speaker:talking about it and I told him, I told you. I
Speaker:said, man, I can't believe they whacked him for
Speaker:whatever they whacked him for. You know, it was
Speaker:like 50, some hundred bucks, whatever. And I get
Speaker:it, dude. When you start adding in the premiums
Speaker:that they add on to the shafts, the cost goes up.
Speaker:And plus, this is a convenience factor, people.
Speaker:Like whenever you go to true spec, you don't have
Speaker:to. You just show up. They have every club in the
Speaker:world, they have every shaft. You know, they can
Speaker:set you up there and you know, often running, but
Speaker:you get hit with a little bit of a surcharge. So
Speaker:whether or not it pays off for him, I surely hope
Speaker:it does, because I know he's looking forward to
Speaker:playing some G. Yeah, I don't know. It's crazy.
Speaker:It's crazy how much these damn clubs cost. I mean,
Speaker:you're talking about a driver now. You could
Speaker:easily spend fifteen hundred dollars on a driver
Speaker:when you.
Speaker:>> RB: Minimum. Minimum. And think about something like
Speaker:TaylorMade that comes out with two a year or
Speaker:whatever. Why are you coming out with two? If this
Speaker:technology is so good, why are you coming out with
Speaker:another one? Like, it's. It can't be that much
Speaker:different technology. That's why I'm kind of like
Speaker:on the Titleist Ping, uh, wagon. You know, every.
Speaker:Every two years, they come up with a new, uh,
Speaker:driver. You know, I'm assuming. I'm assuming new
Speaker:vokies will be out next year, because this year
Speaker:they did not come out. Um, so I'm interested in
Speaker:that. I did just get these. If you can hold on for
Speaker:a second. I just, um. The Nike app.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Oh, boy. You got a new pair of shoes, and the guy
Speaker:has absolutely every pair that comes out. He's got
Speaker:a gap. And the problem is you only have two. Two
Speaker:feet.
Speaker:>> RB: And I don't play enough golf. I know people are
Speaker:gonna be like, yeah, right. I don't play enough
Speaker:golf to have this number of golf shoes.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: But, yeah, dude, that kind of looks like you're
Speaker:sponsored by Ferrari, so. This is sick. So what,
Speaker:do you probably never wear them? Probably not.
Speaker:Hey, did you see who Scotty Scheffler sponsored
Speaker:with this week? This past week, he signed a deal
Speaker:with this hits home to you, bud. Turtlebox.
Speaker:>> RB: No way.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: The official sponsor now or music sponsor for
Speaker:Scottie Scheffler. He is now partners with Turtle
Speaker:Box.
Speaker:>> RB: Oh, my God. And that's really cool.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: It is cool. And I saw them when I was in Vermont.
Speaker:They had them in the, uh, one little store.
Speaker:>> RB: Did you ever get one yet?
Speaker:>> Jonathan: And I was thinking about it, you know, Zach had
Speaker:asked me if I'd like to purchase one off him at a
Speaker:reasonable price. And I said, yeah, Zach, I would
Speaker:love one. I will pay that price. And I'd get.
Speaker:Yeah, so. And that's been about eight months ago.
Speaker:And it looks like you got yours. So I'm. I. I
Speaker:guess I'm not getting mine.
Speaker:>> RB: Yeah, well, Zach, if you listen, we'll know if he
Speaker:listens, because he'll reach out to you. But
Speaker:that's. That's cool to hear.
Speaker:I. Honestly, dude, I gotta be honest. I don't know
Speaker:what the hell is going on in the golf world. I
Speaker:don't know what tournament is I don't know where
Speaker:they are. I don't know who's playing. The only
Speaker:thing that I've seen relevant in the last few days
Speaker:is, um. Oh, man. Who's the guy from Live tour from
Speaker:Ireland or Graham McDowell? Uh, Graham McDowell
Speaker:wants to throw his name into. Be the Ryder cup
Speaker:captain, um, for the next Ryder cup, and he thinks
Speaker:that he's gonna have a very difficult time getting
Speaker:that due to being on the live tour and all the
Speaker:politics that go into it. So that's a decision
Speaker:that you made, bud. So you're not gonna be the
Speaker:Rider Cup. I don't know.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Well, Jack Nicklaus won a 50 million defamation
Speaker:lawsuit I saw last week. Basically good 50 million
Speaker:for basically him. Them saying that he was, you
Speaker:know, I don't know, gonna do something with Liv or
Speaker:something to that effect.
Speaker:>> RB: Yeah.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: So he won that. Which.
Speaker:>> RB: That's just wild. You got. Hockey's really ramping
Speaker:up. The Penguin is best team in hockey.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Right now, which is smoked by the jets last
Speaker:weekend.
Speaker:>> RB: Yeah. Which is a big surprise that they. I mean,
Speaker:we. They might come back to reality a little bit.
Speaker:Um, college hoops. That's right around the corner,
Speaker:but that's the one I can't wait for.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Oh, uh, so that's. That starts this week. I mean,
Speaker:it's starting right now. College hoops.
Speaker:>> RB: I wonder if Vanderbilt has a game on Wednesday.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: That'd be kind of cool. But I guess also in golf
Speaker:news, LIV has basically, uh, made it a little
Speaker:easier now to maybe get on the LIV golf circuit.
Speaker:Um, well, they have to because they used to have
Speaker:the Koala flying. Flying slights. I get sites over
Speaker:in Dubai or somewhere. Now they're going to do it
Speaker:down at Black Diamond Ranch in Central Florida.
Speaker:And it's going to be a 72 hole event. How ironic
Speaker:is that? Instead of.
Speaker:>> RB: Sounds familiar.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: So you're going to see a lot more people who are
Speaker:going to try to make it on there. Last year they
Speaker:had 93 people. This year they're going to have
Speaker:more. Now they got another site.
Speaker:>> RB: So is that like. Does that mean like somebody like
Speaker:Mason Williams can try for the live tour, or is it
Speaker:not. It's not like that. Well, I guess invited to
Speaker:that qualifier.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: I mean, I feel like it's. It almost read as if you
Speaker:could try out if you want.
Speaker:>> RB: For several times if you want.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: No, I mean, you probably have to have pro status
Speaker:and all that, you know. But my, uh, whole thing is
Speaker:if, like Mason, for example, left PGA Tour of
Speaker:America's Americas, whatever it is, I Mean, he's
Speaker:essentially probably banned from coming back to
Speaker:what he's doing. Right. I mean, think that's what
Speaker:the whole problem is.
Speaker:>> RB: Yeah.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: So I still don't get it, because it's just golf.
Speaker:Just play golf. Um, everybody just play golf.
Speaker:>> RB: Well, we were supposed to be, uh, at our favorite
Speaker:spot in Nashville this week, and our buddy, who's
Speaker:in left field, had no clue that it was closed. His
Speaker:own place was closed for a week. So, um, we are
Speaker:not playing there. Um, but some exciting news. I
Speaker:mean, Pittsburgh's getting a concert two days.
Speaker:Vegas, uh, Morgan Wallen's tour is back next year.
Speaker:So that's kind of exciting. I know all the.
Speaker:Everybody that came last year to. To the concert
Speaker:or two years ago when we all went. Right. It was a
Speaker:blast. We had a blast. And my girlfriend is
Speaker:opening for him, so of course we're gonna have
Speaker:Ella.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: And that's interesting. I mean, you kind of are
Speaker:like, yeah, she's on fire, dude.
Speaker:>> RB: She's on fire.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: She is on fire. I still think we should play Old
Speaker:Hick.
Speaker:>> RB: And, uh, we land at 2 o', clock, and it could
Speaker:start at 4:45.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: You know what? We. We could have, like, quicker
Speaker:play faster.
Speaker:>> RB: Or, you know, what's the saying? If you play bad,
Speaker:play quicker or something? Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: Yeah.
Speaker:A lot of interesting things going on.
Speaker:>> RB: Dude.
Speaker:>> Jonathan: It's great. No shade, no shave. November is
Speaker:underway, so maybe you should. You should go the
Speaker:whole month and not shave. Like, seriously, you
Speaker:could be the guy that could do that.
Speaker:>> RB: Do you want me to do this?
Speaker:>> Jonathan: I'm saying you should, because yours comes in,
Speaker:like, so quick and, like, symmetrical and great.
Speaker:Like, by November 30th, that'd be. That'd be
Speaker:something for you and Gray. And Gray. Whatever.
Speaker:>> RB: Um, but our reason for going down to Nashville, we
Speaker:are going to do a interview with a close friend of
Speaker:ours, which is going to be a blast. Um, so our
Speaker:next episode will be with Ray Fulcher. It'll be a
Speaker:good chat. I'm excited to see the guy. I love how
