The springtime fall is finally here. Flowers are blooming. Days are longer. We're saying

yes to more plans and finally getting outside, running, walking, just moving again. It's the perfect time to upgrade your everyday go-tos with Bombas. Bombas sports socks are super comfortable and designed with sports specific tech for running, cycling, yoga, hiking, you name it. I've been trying to get more into running and incline tread when I can't get outside of the weather's not so nice. So whatever the case is,

I'm truly just blown away by these socks. They are a game changer. They're cushioned when you

need it, sweat wicking. They don't slide around. I could just focus on just going as fast as possible instead of constantly adjusting my socks. Once I put the boots back in the closet, Bombas warm weather footwear is back in the rotation. I just know the Bombas slides whenever I'm going to the grocery store there, they're made with this super lightweight and waterproof EVA that soft, but still very supported. They're really comfortable and perfect to toss on and go. I just put them on right

as I'm about to leave my apartment. I do a quick little air and I come back, slide them right back off. There is nothing better than the Bombas slides. Then there's the best base layers you'll ever own. Bombas under wear and t-shirts, breathable, flexible, really soft, a full-on upgrade

from your usual basics. And for every item you purchase, an essential clothing item is donated

The master's preview, Shane Bacon, awesome master's preview with him. And then our good friend

Max Homa getting ready for the best week in golf. I would say. Oh, he has a great best week in golf. We have to crown a national champion. Michigan Wolverines are back on top after Monday night's national championship. We're going to do some hot seat cool throne. We also have some MBA news. Michael Malone, the bulls clean their free front office. It's all brought to you by our friends at

Chevy football season. Might be over, but you know how it goes. The minute bit, the big game ends,

we're already talking about what's next. Free agency, the draft who's getting paid, who's grinding, because for football guys, there is no off season. And that's exactly why they roll with the Chevy Silverado. Silverado is the truck that shows up every time, built to haul, tow, and take a beating. But smartware accounts with modern tech that makes life easier, big screens available, camera views that help with towing and parking and a cabin that feels right, whether you're

road tripping, heading to practice or loading up for the weekend during the season at the MVP, the tailgate. After the season, it turns into your training camp truck, hauling gear,

tackling home projects and doing the work that never stops because the grind doesn't take

breaks and either does Silverado. Check out the current offers and build your own Chevy Silverado at chevy.com. Okay, let's go. Welcome to part of my take presented by draft kings, the crown is yours. Today is Wednesday, April 8th, and the Michigan Wolverines are on top of the college basketball mountain. They win the 20, 20, 25, 26 national championship, congrats to Dussie Mae and crew.

Congrats, I guess. Big 10, big 10. Big 10, dominant year. Big 10, Indiana, UCLA, Women's, Badger Women's hockey, Penn State Wrestling, Penn State Wrestling. It's just, it's a big 10 world, we're all living in it. Yeah, so Monday night, the national championship game, I feel like people didn't enjoy watching because it wasn't great shooting. I had a question for you, guys. Michigan was the better team. We all, we all saw it. It was wild, kind of watching a game,

whereas a five to seven point deficit for UConn, essentially throughout the entire game,

but it never felt like it was in jeopardy. The only moment that I was like, oh,

UConn might have a chance was when it was like maybe five and a half minutes left, and Molyn's missed that three to cut it to four. The one that went in and out. Yeah, it's cut it to four. That was the moment where I was like, oh, this could be something. That didn't happen. It was that. It just never felt like it was that. And then there was the steel at mid-court

That turned into zero points on a break away.

yeah, right afterwards. So like those were the two times where it felt like it might get kind of close.

But the irony is like, UConn probably played the best game that they could. Like, this was except for shooting. This was, yeah, but this was the exact script that they needed from Michigan. Like, they out rebounded Michigan 4639 and they were, I think Michigan was minus seven, actually, on three-pointers compared to UConn. So like, yes, UConn didn't shoot great, but Michigan was like all-time bad shooting three. Well, that was the thing though. That was, it was, the pace was perfect.

The, I know the thought people were going to complain about the files. Yeah, I don't like when a national championship has a lot of files, but UConn files more than Michigan. That's been the case all year. Like, yeah, there were a couple here and there, but I didn't think that was the prevailing thought. But yeah, it was UConn, if they could have shot 38% from three, they would have won the game.

That's what we said, right? Yeah. On, and I think in last show, it's got a suck knowing that you had that

where you, you played great defense, you had the bad Michigan night, but that also is a credit to Michigan, because the biggest takeaway I had from that game was, and I, you know, I watched Michigan all year, especially in Big Ten play. What they do at the rim completely changes everyone's mentality. The opponents are playing. UConn was scared. You, I was like, and I'm not saying scared in a bad way. I'm just saying, it was in their head that going to the rim was most likely going to get blocked.

There were little hook shots that they were putting up that they were missing long by like three feet. Right. Yeah. So it's like little things like that. It's just, it was, Michigan was such a force at the rim denial, and the axle was hobbled, and they still like more Johnson was awesome. Maro was awesome. Elliott Kido, one's wins MOP. They're just, they were the best team. They were the best team all year outside of Duke, because that actually was my other big takeaway

was like Duke, just completely. Duke beat this Michigan team a month and a half ago.

Oh, I think if Duke plays in the championship game, they went by 50 easily, easily. That was a

wasted opportunity. But Michigan is a deserving champion. What they did in this tournament against the best teams in the hardest conference. I think we can all agree like the big 10 was the best conference this year. Yeah. What are you easily? And yeah, the Dusty May is now. Is he next up in terms of like, is he going to rattle off a bunch or is he going to go to the NBA? Yeah. Well, so if he wants to rattle off a bunch, he has to kind of rework the team every

off season. Yeah. Yes, the portal has to be active and which you already is. Oh, he's always in

Michigan. I think is right now the favorites to win next season. Tough to win back to back. You know, I kept forgetting because they kept bringing the fab five out. I kept forgetting that fab five never wanted championship. Yeah. I was like fab five. His way that they brought him out. It was like, yeah, we're bringing back that team. Yeah. From the late 80s at one. It's like, wait, no, they actually got there right afterwards. The fab five cultural impact I totally

under here. And imagine, though, if you work like Glen Rice and be like, but I won, I want to title at Michigan. They don't never, they never bring me back. Yeah, but he's got Sarah Palin. Yeah, he saw the matters. Yeah, but the Michigan team, we talked about it with with Dusty May taking the picture of him scouting the final four game. That's a, that's something you do if you know that you have the best team. Yeah. We also had Michigan. I think there was players live

streaming the night before the national championship trying to guess the size of Wendy's penis. Like, these are things that you do when you're the best team that you know you're the best winning culture. Yeah. That's, that's all that is. Yeah. I think they did all this. And when we're talking about like Michigan not having the best night and how like that game script, if there was one that could have favored you. Yeah. That's kind of what it was. It actually,

it is a massive compliment to Michigan that they're that good and they can weather all this and

still have a no doubt or championship out of it. That's how good a team they are also,

Yaxle being very limited and into the point where he's, he's having time. Yeah. He's telling Tracy Wolffson like, yeah, I suck right now. Yeah. I'm not, I don't feel good. I feel awful. This sucks. I don't want to be out here. I'm not good at basketball. Yeah. Like, it was, it was refreshingly honest half time interview. He does clip farm though. Can we agree on that? Oh, yeah. Big toe. Like, Gaxle is a clip farmer. Yeah. Speaking to your point of the Michigan, the, uh, in the

NCAA tournament, uh, teams that scored under 70 points, shot under 40% from the field and shot under 15% from three and got out rebounded. We're 0 and 50 all time. They're now 1 and 50. That's Michigan. That's, that's just what they, they scored all their points in the paint. They got to

the free throw line. They were the better team. I never at one point thought, I really didn't think,

and I know that you can't fans. I don't think you can fans or have to be like, there's a part of them probably is a little upset. Like, we had the script. All we had to do is make a couple of trees. But the other part is like, you've won two out of four. You've been to three out of four. This team

Was not the best you could.

which you, you have to be proud of them. But I, there wasn't a moment in the game where I was like,

Oh, you con is going to win this game. I really didn't feel it. I know that that's crazy to say because

it wasn't a blowout. It never got to like balloon to like 15, 20 points. But I just didn't feel.

Well, also with Kado, like, he was a guy that going into the tournament was like a liability. Yeah. He was looked at as being like, if Michigan is going to get beat, it's because their guard's not going to be able to get done. And he was probably the best player on the court last night. And he was the reason why they won. Yeah, which is pretty incredible. And that team is just stacked. I thought Mara didn't have as good a game as it, but like all the shots that he impacted where he

wasn't blocked. It did feel like every time you got in the paint, it felt like they were throwing a basketball into like four lanes of traffic. And it was just going to get hit by a car. And they were some violent ass blocks. Oh, yeah. Like these were some like into the third row blocks. These were some, I want to break somebody's nose. I'm blocking the ball so hard. Like they were not trying to keep the ball in play. No. They were trying to intimidate with the blocks. And it did.

It actually, it worked. And you can great season. They overheved in the tournament a little bit.

But I mean, they were good team. Well, Danny Hurley remains 18 in one. And the last four tournaments against the spread. How insane is that? Yeah, they cover. That's the only great cover.

Furman is the only one that they didn't cover. That was the first round this year. Great cover.

That's, that's just insane. He's just a great tournament coach. Dusty may now in the conversation of great tournament coaches, great coaches overall. I also love that Danny Hurley got everyone off the set. Like everyone expected him to do a press conference and complain about the reps. Yeah. And he went the exact up. He's like, I love this crew. He's like, if this crew's referencing every single time, I'd see bulletin. You see, he ran over and he was the first guy.

He was the first responder after the ref got knocked over. Yeah. Underneath the basket. He's like, let me help you up. But that was that was the high knees Jeff Anderson. Yeah. That was the, that was my point about the rest. Like, I, yes, I don't want that many, many calls. But like, I do think you can play as a style that they're going to call it. And like, yeah, there was a couple times. There's probably like two or three calls. It's like, all right, that might have been 50, 50 or there might have been a

little bit of a flop there for the most part. You can just hit their trees. They just need to hit a couple more trees. That's it. Yeah. I thought it was, I thought it was actually a pretty well

efficient game. Yeah. Yeah. You can, you can always make the case that like it's the championship,

let the boys play a little bit more. But there wasn't really, like, they didn't affect the game.

Yeah. Michigan was the best team by far in this tournament. I, I think you got into the

great job. So I'm done. They didn't score 90. Yeah. But Michigan was just the best team all season, especially peaking at the right time. And now it's like, wow, how are we going to remember this tournament? Is this the moment? It's Duke. Yeah. God. I agree. That was a shot. That's, that's the one shining moment. I think picked 10 supremacy. Yeah. True. Good point, Hank. I know you love, you know, it's touting conferences. Yeah. Yeah. You love that. Big 10 greater than Big East. Yeah.

True. Oh, Big East. I think everyone in Big East finished 100 top 100 in Ken Palm. Can we put it on this TV, by the way? It's not on. So we're just going to, when we start to search shit, you could have done a Hank. Now you make max to it. I could do it. He, Max, keep it look like. So you, you think Big 10 is the story? Yeah. Bye for now. Easily. I think story the tournament is paid a play. I lost a lot of money. Probably Molly's hitting that shot at the last second.

I would say it's paid a win tournament. Payed a win tournament. Like basketball is ruined. They should expand on sustainability. Yeah. That's the new word. That's next year, the first year of expansion. I don't know. They haven't decided yet. Yeah. But that would be the, the haters take away from the tournament is Michigan didn't have any Michigan had 100% transfers. Michigan bought their team. They bought their team. Yeah. It's so funny whenever someone says that because like, if your

team could buy a team, you would want that too. Every team tries to buy teams. I will say like, there is a world where, yes, it probably would mean a little bit more if it was all guys who had been there for three, four years. Like if Purdue had won this year, there would have been a little bit more sentimental. Hey, I watched these guys for four years, but a fucking championship. Ships the championship. I don't care how it comes. They did celebrate like the thunder.

A little bit. Well, it was like, it was like a zero zero celebration. Yeah. Actually, I had a shocked the world. It's like you guys were. Yeah. It's drawn out. Very big, very big favorites. Mm-hmm. Yeah. It was kind of weird having John Howard around too. Like he just got fired. Yeah, I guess Dusty May, like one of the first calls he made was to join Howard. And Joe, I mean, credit to join Howard for being like the bigger man. Mm-hmm. And being like, yeah, I got fired,

but I still loved my school. I feel like Dusty May, if they make a movie out of this season, he's definitely again played by the guy from Billions, right? Bobby Axel Rodden. Yeah. Yeah.

For sure.

Spartan. Dusty May also might be next up with the horse voice. Oh, he's got always. Yeah.

Yeah. For the last time. He's kind of cuck-tom is going into the horse voice and Michigan. Going into the term when they did the behind the scenes and he's like talking the guys in the huddle and you can't understand it. Goddamn word. He's not. But you can, but you know what he's saying. Yeah. You can feel it. Just saying that's that's something to just put on your radar that

Michigan State. It's gotta be telling for Michigan State fans. Who's who's having the worst right now?

Well, it's January, February, is oh. Yeah. May. May. I didn't like what David did to you on wake up bar. So that was mean. About, uh, well, no, you're bringing this up. You're doing it right now. We're talking one who had. Right. No, Hank's being a good phrase saying he didn't like. Yeah,

I'm Dave. Right. But you're doing it right now. Well, you're doing what Dave did. Yeah. You're not.

No, no, you are. I'm not going to say. That's fine. Dave said we were in the building, which I was there for as well in Indianapolis. Big 10 school was constant. Mm-hmm. Walls to Duke. Mm-hmm. And then Dave said he vowed. He did it to a venture loss. Which I had not heard until Michigan last night in Indianapolis. Got a win for the conference. Right. He event you and I didn't know where to right now. I did not like that. I also, my, my simple point

back to Dave was that, uh, on Sunday, I texted Dave and I said, I have a future that I went 250,000 dollars if you con wins. You have a future that wins 500,000 dollars, Michigan wins. Why don't we come together and just say, let's go have these no matter what who wins? Would that, wouldn't someone who's trying to avenge my death do that? Yeah, sure. He should have. So I don't know where that to, uh, disappear. Not right. Yeah. That's all right. He's really kind of avenged my

death. He's now to split it with Dave's going through. And you guys agree, I like, I, if you caught it one, I would have a hundred percent split it with Dave. Yeah, he definitely would. I mean, I would have actually doubled. People act like Dave has a horseshoe wedged up his ass just because he's one multiple NBA championships, uh, a college basketball championship, a college football championship, like 12 Super Bowls, Water Ball, he's a US Open Champion at Chinacock and he won the dozen

and everyone acts like all he does is what his red socks are down bad. So I don't think that he was betting them every game. I don't think he can afford to split that with him. He actually, I know what he's betting every game on the red socks and I, I actually don't think he can get afford it at this point. No, two and eight. As somebody that is bet every pirate's game and then every white socks game and then every athletic game over the course of a year, you run into a moment

where you're going through a cold streak and then you start to double the units. Yes. No matter what

you say at the start of the year, you start to double and then you get in trouble and I think you

probably had every intention of splitting that future with you and then the red socks just broke as hard. Double trouble. Okay. Uh, it's controversial. Okay. Yeah. What happened? He's an emotional guy. Yellow is called a mouth fiery dude. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. They're dumpster fire. Yeah, dumpster fire. That early in the season, dumpster fire. I thought they were going to be dumpster fire going into the season. Oh, dumpster fire. I mean, Shane tried to dump on me. Yeah. I mean, the cubs are not much different

in the fight than everyone's just hurt. Kate Orton. Nothing worse than the forearm tightness. That's just got to be the worst. The worst, because it's like that's not a real injury, but it's coming the real injury is coming for us. Sure. Any time the forearm tightness is reported. Uh, okay.

Moving to the mic Hank.

Damn. He sucks so fucking bad. That's terrible news. I love Kate Horton. This is basically exactly what happened to Justin Steele last year beginning of the year. Maybe the imaging's not like sometimes the imaging can be blurry and not sure what you're looking at and maybe the imaging like once you get a clearer picture it's going to be fine. Fucking sucks. The the the the the cups did win tonight so when we're taking a little out of order because this is not the real breaking moves which we'll

get to but shout out that fan who is going for the fall ball and their entire ass fell out.

That was a tough thing. That was an all-time clip. Hank did you see that clip?

I always said I walked in on golf off the internet. Yeah, medieval vibe. You got to pull up that clip.

I always say you got to wear underwear to the ballpark. Yeah that was it the cup's one tonight so it wasn't that would have been a perfect. This is a cup season. How it's going? I thought it was Max Kate Horton being out really fucking socks. Yeah it looked like Max out there. Yeah, Hank you watched the clip give us the live reaction to the clip. Is that his pants are down before like a move? I'm like half nervous. Like a paint fell down. Yeah. We're just down. Yeah all-time all-time camera clip.

I mean how does that that's insane. It's about as bad as it gets. Yeah in terms of visuals. Yeah. Okay. All right. The real breaking moves. Obviously there was a report from New York Post about two friends of the program. Diana Racini and Mike Frable. The report essentially had them.

I look like a camera like a person like in the bushes or something. I don't know who had

gotten paparazzi at a hotel in Sedona together. Yeah. Probably not the best look and I know that every single AWL which I understand is like these guys have to talk about it and I agree we do have to talk about it. Yeah so when I saw this I immediately I walked out of the studio and memes was cackling at the desk and I did the rigs. I was like hey I'm rigs now. I'm rigs now. I mean not from Mayan account and then memes he was he was free to fire off from from the personal channels later on. But I did

I did tell memes not to put anything out from Mayan. Yeah I told memes like fire whatever you want. Yeah it's one of those situations whatever something like this happens like you could tweet whatever you want. If it's wrong later it's gonna suck for you but you could tweet. I told you memes I was like go for it. I also and if I meant from the main a case of the main part of my ticket because that feels like like they are friends bars. Yeah I didn't want to just like

take a shit on them as this was all breaking and we weren't exactly sure what was going on. It's I'm in an awkward position because Diana is a very good friend. I'm friends with her family her family's friends and my family. So I feel I feel bad that this is happening right now and I have I don't want to I don't want to jump to any conclusions but I have been around her before when she has been accused of doing bad stuff that I I have known to not be true. So she's been accused

without reason before. I'm not saying that's what's happening this time. I'm just saying I'm

gonna have her back. She's my friend. I'm not gonna talk shit about her because I feel like that would be just a really a shitty thing for me to do as she's probably having the worst day of her life. Yeah definitely. I'm not I'm not going to come close to doing that. Am I variables of

friend of ours? Yes. My first reaction was like so it's a big deal. Jay Glazer had 25

dudes at his pool party. Like he's probably hooking up with all. Johnny Fantas in certain self and two coaches wedding before. Yeah exactly. Yeah. So I am I do consider Diana and Coach Rabel friends and look this is one of those situations. I don't I I'm gonna take their word for it like they're they're going through it right now and to pile on would make me a bad friend. I'm not gonna if if it's if it comes out that it was bad stuff and you know marriage

you're getting broken up. I'm not gonna defend that but like at this point I there's I'm gonna go off of what I'm reading and I get it. People have to make their jokes like I'm not gonna tell I told memes where I came in. I was just like dude you could say whatever the fuck you want. I told Jerocão say whatever you want. Like you guys it would be crazy for me yeah to be like you can't make a joke. Oh if this guy's that make jokes about everything. So

everyone else is gonna make jokes and I have no problem with it. People want to blog it. joke about it. I don't give a fuck. I personally am not gonna like drag them and make it worse for them because I do have a relationship with both them but I'll say it doesn't look great like no just the pictures don't look great but again I'm not gonna accuse them of something if I'm gonna take them for their work. Yeah yeah so I told memes not don't fire from the man account your personal channel

go for it and then Dave put out the the video where he did the rigs thing too and I think because

Dave put that video out. I think everybody was afraid to blog it because nobody blogged it but we didn't

Tell anybody not to blog it.

listen we didn't through this many times like I remember it happened uh I think it was like maybe

probably nine or ten years ago might have been I care of everyone's maybe Blake Griffin like someone trashed him on on the blog and and he was like what is this I was like dude I'm sorry like I he's like yeah I don't really care but I was just wondering and I was like yeah it's like the we're a big company like where people are gonna write shit um but we can control what we can say

and memes would you like to say anything because everyone I think I think this when this story

came out it obviously was a huge story people made jokes but I think maybe the number one person who got tagged and everything was memes every single person was tagging you and like I saw the New York post articles I was doing dinner with my kids so I missed it when the first came out and I saw

maybe like 45 minutes after and I looked at the tweet and memes must have been tagged a million times

underneath I was tagged in it right away and I saw it right away so there was one moment where memes is reading the comments underneath uh one of the posts and he was reading them out loud to me and he's like and then they're saying like how come memes hasn't responded and then the other guy just said memes is probably reading this right now yeah yeah so I just like her articles I just read the the headline so I tried quote tweeting it real quick we're just like oh she's best friends

with Mike Raeble like of course she hates the jets right I don't know I also kind of think she leaked this article oh go on I like I'm like when you fingers I go on go ahead like jitter who who who

gives a fuck about recini and Raeble like going out in the middle of the desert who leaks at

recini I think you and then what better way to announce your hate for the jets than be like

I'm hanging out with Mike Raeble because I'm a rooftop now I do I do think the best the best thing

ever would be if the Eagles traded AJ Brown tomorrow yeah yeah and then jitter she leaks a net a new article AJ Brown's at the hotel too yeah yeah now you're doing the fanfic yeah yeah just let it go so it fly yeah big that's right like if this was about anybody else we would be making all the jokes yeah that's what I'm saying I would be making every joke about the situation so have added do do your jokes if you want like I'm not I'm not gonna want or complain

about just oh I'm just saying like from my perspective she's a very good friend very close friend and I don't want to I don't want to look like I'm piling on or adding to bad situation because number one I don't actually know what happened and two like I'd like to think that I'm a good friend and somebody that would absolutely try to help somebody if they go through a tough time so

if that's what she's going through then I'm just going to try to be good friend right and so

if you don't want to you don't want to make it worse for your friends and that that's and again it's I anyone who walks anyone who wants to treat it and be like or like you know someone's to saw on the street being like hey what do you think like don't look great what do you want to say but I'm they they can they release their statements and I'll I'll believe my friends and if it turns out to be not true then I'll be like an idiot but at least I'll say that hey I

have my friends back so yeah that's that's kind of is in the yeah people accusing us of of being hypocrites for the the rigs tiger situation I we're talking about it right now it happened like two hours ago we're on the podcast we're doing an emergency breaking moves talking about it so we're not going to just like pretend it didn't happen I think there's also a bit of a difference between like somebody's fourth DUI yeah where they go you were like I mean I'm friends today but you've been

friends with her for a decade like yeah you know so but yeah it's and again have it you can make the jokes I think I think they probably both know those are coming and the internet moves fast and you know the masters will be here and life will go on also anyone that was panicking about Trump starting a nuclear war before the masters just doesn't know ball yeah like that man is not ruining his weekend yeah memes will you be we be cooking up any memes going forward I had some but those are

those are for the person files okay this there is valuable lesson here yep like when I call out Diana we sometimes just got to let the entire story come out and not just look at these click vehicles right yeah and take their word for I agree because it like the the worst case scenario is this is it this is the if it's the worst case scenario there are merges and kids involved that fucking sucks and it's so it's like that part it's like shitty and then if it's the best case

scenario it's nothing then that's also shitty if you if you trash them so waiting it for for the whole story to go through I like that memes what a lesson well it's a lot of fun memes she's got it

No more jet slander going forward okay yeah okay yeah yeah I'm sure she would...

is right now and this is the most important thing that she's hearing is that hey if you could take

one thing away from this entire experience that please stop being mean to the jets from memes right

and the yeah Max what's your thoughts on this Max wasn't gonna say he's not he's not sitting in the chair but he's doing the minigal I will tell you exactly what Max's reaction would be you're just covers ears and and like wish himself out of the room Zach with the just on that information I wish her by the best yeah yep there you go oh I actually did have a I asked so I talked to Jerry and I said please give us because he was like I don't think

anything's going on I was like we'll just give me a statement so here's his statement wait is this his actual statement guys as the only real celebrity affiliated with part of my take I can say I don't think these two are hooking up I analyze the picks it's a light hug followed by being lounge chairmates after brutal winter all you want to do late March early April is catch some vitamin D what is coach supposed to do stripped down and sit on the other side of

the pool they ran into each other laid out order to burger and talked AJ I do not think they're bane that's a Jericho knows official state okay yeah because I I was I called Jerry he's like

20 to my gone too far I was like no do don't Jerry Jerry always is like guys he text me

GFT Jerry's the king of going too far and then being like hey did I go too far yeah and mean Bigger I was like no no we don't care Jerry's also the king which I love him to death but he'll text me and pft being like is this okay to post and for one the answer has always been yes we've never said no and two we don't ever respond before it actually gets posted like I he he text us and after he texts us he posts it and then we say yes but it's already been posted for five minutes so you're

not actually asking us but he does the I think he does the appropriate thing which is he in theory

checks with us yeah which again it's always yet but it's always okay let's kick it back to ourselves earlier in the day we're talking Michael balloon we got bulls front office hotsy cool throne Shane bacon max home guys FAQs incredible show emergency breaking moves ended okay Michael balloon congrats he I Michael alone is the new head coach for North Carolina Tarheals very good basketball coach I believe that this was a direct response to the pressure we were putting on

UNC with John fan now timing is not a coincidence but also that I've seen multiple sources say that that Michael balloon is considering bringing fan to on as an assistant coach Tom Creen Tom Creen said a great guy there was that somebody in John fan does pre-game spaces said the exact same thing love that and I I think it's a great idea Michael along really good head coach yeah really good basketball coach it does feel like oh shit dusty may said no Tommy Lloyd said no Billy Donovan's

waiting to the end of the season and the transfer portals open and Brad Stevens has said no five times yeah we think it's actually no so the I don't know how this way I feel like it's either gonna go I don't think it's gonna go middle the road is that make sense no he's a he's a really

really good basketball coach but like college basketball is I think it's gonna be a disaster or they're

going to win a national title and I don't think they're gonna make the tournament make a sweet 16 and like he'll coach for multiple years and it will be like kind of middle the road I just don't of all the connections that we we the stupid connections we like to do my my favorite was back in the day when when Mark Treston was hired by the bears and people were like do you know that J-Cultler went to a QB camp that Mark Treston was one of the coaches and when he was 17 years old

there was like well they probably know each no it doesn't matter at all hiring a guy because his daughter is on the volleyball team is quite something it's like he likes the university apparently he you know that he's he'll be committed for at least the next two years and maybe it's like UNC like hey he's paying us yeah I think it's technically you're getting like a 20 thousand dollar a year discount yeah on Michael Malone on what on Michael Malone on the street we go for

it's crazy though it's absolutely crazy I don't know if I don't think it's gonna work out I don't know this it's also if you're if you're UNC fan you gotta stay optimistic obviously but there's probably also a part of you that's like what is the what is the the final dying days of a blue blood it's hiring an MBA coach Mike Woodson going in the end so that was like the death rattle of a blue blood

all right yeah but coach Cal going back when he went back to Memphis well yeah but he's like he was always

A college coach I'm saying like an MBA guy going to you know Cal was always c...

he was more it was more weird that he went to the MBA than you're to mean right this is a

a big time Larry Brown move yeah Michael Malone is a MBA coach yeah Woodson was an MBA coach I

know that there's college in there but that's what they known for and then so yeah I looked at his

resume yesterday when they made the announcement so I was like maybe he's got a college pass that I was not I was not aware of last time he coach in college was 2001 he was an assistant at Manhattan he was also an assistant at Providence from 95 to 98 and then he was the director of Men's Basketball Administration at the University of Virginia in the ACC in 1998 1999 I have no idea what that job description was in 1999 I'll tell you what it was

Michael Malone if you want to and again we like him he's nice guy I'm hoping it works out

because I want UNC to be good because I want them to beat Duke I'm gonna root for UNC I should have a

little skepticism healthy skepticism but Michael Malone's college basketball coaching resume can be summed up in that's a full number that Rico Bosco would love to have back in the day he would have definitely been chasing Michael Malone direct all around final for the double I got the director of office for for what was the colleges for Jen and then one else I well he was an assistant at Providence assistant at Manhattan yeah and he was dobo director basketball operations at UVA yeah

so that would have been one that would have been a prime Bosco yeah it's like he cuts up the film yeah so he gets the blob sets before the coaches even get the blob sets uh the one thing that I did see on his resume I I forgot this he was the Serbian national coach oh yeah that's right so maybe that's not actually right maybe he's gonna spend some time ooo they might be croutin good catch pft actually think that I think this might have just changed into it might work I think

UNC might be croutin over in uh Eastern Europe fuck I'm gonna have to think about that hmm I would love yeah I want UNC to be good again colors are cool colors are cool I like that little ramp oh I I got a question yeah watching the Wolverine everywhere this week all the old time he drawings of the Wolverine mascot same type deal with the the old UNC mascot what is that little hat that old the old mascots where in the illustrations it's almost like a navy hat you know

yeah I know it's saying like to people ever actually wear that hat or was it only reserved for college mascots I I feel like it's one of those things it like uh it was like the FCC

back of the day it's like you have to put this little hat so people know that the mascot is a mascot

so that they know it's not real yeah they know it's not a human yeah so they doesn't get shot if it's out in public yeah because if you're if you're if it's like 1930 and you open the newspaper and you see that you're like oh my god are they it's innovation yeah what are these Wolverine looking humans running around nope look the mascot hat yeah they're like oh is that is that the Irish are they here hmm no no it's don't worry it's got a hat darling yeah um okay other news the bulls

cleaned their entire front office out uh firing AK firing mark adversely the bulls so here's where we're at the uh the bulls deserve credit Michael Ryan's sort of cherry Ryan's sort of the bulls ownership they deserve credit for doing the most obvious thing possible because they're such bad owners that there was actually some doubt that they might not fire these guys okay so I before you go any further I got a question for you because it seems like in the past when

they've been good enough to make the playing game that's when you wanted everybody fired yeah now they're bad enough where they are going to get a lottery pick and now they're firing everybody because they tank well no these guys deserve to be fired just for the record AK was one of

if not no he was definitely the worst GM right now in the NBA that's I think that's actually

you can't dispute that fact the the the the moves that were made and he he had three months where he put together a roster uh that was one number one of the east and then for the next five years talked about that roster with tomorrow to Rose and Zach Levine he traded a first round pick

and window harder for for Vuch uh he drafted Patrick Williams and then signed him to 90 million

dollars he basically is he he he he all these guys that were on the team he traded them two late and got nothing for them like they traded tomorrow to Rose and Vuch Zach Levine Alex Kruso and the only one number one pick they got back was their own they got their own pick back from the king just absolute disaster of a front office terrible scouting terrible trades terrible timing everything you could ask for they just didn't deliver any of it uh but my point is that

they're so bad that it should have been it should have happened like a year ago or two years ago and the fact that we got to this point and they finally did it there's a lot of people

Congratulating the bulls and like being like hey you did it I don't know if I...

the the bulls are still owned by the rhinestones and they're cheap and they're not going to do the right thing not even unlike the second Derek Rose night you know there you go that's like seven right now yeah that's that's the one thing they've done well here my here are my uh wishes for because this is the thing that always tries me nuts when and I think most people would agree with this when you have an ownership like I understand with a salary cap in a league and there's you know

taxes and all that shit I get that right like NFL there's a salary cap majorly baseball there's not so ownership spend money the one thing that you're never capped on is how much money you spend

on your front office and your scouting department like you should be spending all your money on

that and being like let's get the smartest guys to do the smartest thing and so the bulls should go out and try to say Sam Prestey here's any amount of money new name the number Brad Steven's got to make Brad Steven say no they have to the bulls have to make Brad Steven say no I think you

guys all agree yeah always first first thing that I do for any job is make Brad Steven say no yeah what

they're probably gonna do is they're probably gonna make Billy Donovan GM and then find the new cheaper coach and they're gonna do it that way they're gonna go all this up and again they're gonna go the Brad Steven's route yeah that worked though yeah what Brad Steven's yeah yeah they're just turning Billy D into the new Brad S I like Billy D but the idea that like we have to save Billy D like we gotta do everything keep Billy D happy yeah what are we doing I so that that is what

was so confusing for me is like UNC did they reach out to Billy Donovan and he yeah I think so

he the the story is the Billy Donovan was not gonna do it till after the season and UNC felt pressure after Dussie Mason no and Tommy Lloyd said no and the transfer portal was opening they're like we gotta do something but if this happened earlier like I don't know I I feel like Billy Donovan probably doesn't want to stick around this organization right now well I must have given them a promotion yeah which they might yeah like it's just I'm happy that these guys got fired they're

were the worst GM's possible they were so bad they they they never had their plan change constantly

where they're like we'll have old guys and try to compete right now oh no we'll get young guys and and basically just drag the pick try to trade for anyone who is a lottery pick four years ago I mean the jade and ivy thing is one of the most embarrassing things you can do and maybe that's the reason like thank you jade and ivy you actually got them fired but again with the are these guys worse than garpax yeah which is crazy because yeah I didn't think things get worse things

you were significant you would take garpax back in a second I wouldn't take a back put like those guys at least could scout they put together some like good players they drafted some good players like Patrick Williams was drafted and then given five years 90 million that is the what that might be the worst contract in like all sports history the guy is not good and it's like you drafted him and then you're like you knew he wasn't good and they're like yeah let's make sure we give him more money

so but at the end of the day it's still the Ryan source and I don't understand if you're if

this is what I will never understand Jerry Ryan's Surface 90 years old 90 years old you can't take it

with you Jerry why wouldn't you just spend all the money right now you get rich by spending money in the next five years and try to make one good grass run it like offer Sam Prestey a godfather offer offer him ownership you just got money you just got a big chunk of money from selling the white socks you cannot take this with you and Michael Ryan's Surface like he's now he's now in like

very firm fails on category where he's got to start making moves hopefully that's what it

is hopefully Michael Ryan's door feels the need to be like I'm not I'm gonna have a better legacy than my father I got to prove everyone wrong and that will propel him to great to see have any any irons in the fire see up to anything or see just kind of waiting on his old man yeah no he's he's running the pulse he is running the pulse okay so he's yeah he is the he's in in charge and the pulse are like the third I think they're the third or fourth most valuable MBA franchise

just based on Michael Jordan and and and being in you know the third biggest city what like you have so much fucking money dude I just just spend it and make a team good I just cannot understand if I owned a team I would spend all my money in hiring the smartest guys to do everything I feel like this is this is setting up for the bulls to get a great lottery pick yeah might be this is setting up for reset would you guys not do the same would you not be like okay I'm gonna

hire the smartest guy yeah well no initially I would fuck everything up real bad yeah like I would be I would be terrible at at owning a team for probably about 10 years and then after 10 years

Of fucking everything up I'd yeah I'd probably just say hey I'm gonna delegat...

job and I'm just gonna show up and go to games right but it would take me 10 years of fucking no and Jerry Ron's role has had way longer than 10 years yeah the one the one problem with what everything I said is that a lot of the owners majority of the owners have huge egos and you see it all the time where the guys don't want to have someone out like the owner doesn't want to be the guy who's like oh yeah he's a great owner but really it's just the GM that he hired and he's the genius

but I wouldn't care I wouldn't either I would not care I wouldn't either when he put it always happens

it always can't like the one Theo came to the cubs that's what happened at the end of that like

who gets credit would not care no at all like that's kind of the this kind of the goal of the entire thing right if you're an owner you're not a GM that's not you can you can take credit for like running a good organization like robber craft I'm sure one day he'll he'll get into the whole thing that also like how that ended right that was like yeah who's who's gonna get credit but I feel like yeah the owner usually does if if the team's good the owner will get the credit

be like he runs a good organization good for them but nobody will ever be like yeah the owner did a great job of assembling this roster yeah I just wish the bulls had done this before the season and actually taint correctly well I mean they essentially did they they started five in L and everyone's like oh she have far off we might have to do another sim we're we're I think gonna we're the ninth

but it's just like so stupid you have this incredible draft you you're gonna have to strip it

down the studs you let these guys fuck around and put together good enough team that wasn't fully tanking do another sim do one more sim those terrible really bad wizards guy for the

little it's bad shopping oh maverick's good maverick's got the first pick yes yeah good for

them good no leave there that's gonna be such bullshit that's gonna happen January 6 one more I swear to god oh more okay you take that be it take second yeah one more booze yeah yeah just do it till the bulls get like top four how many times is it gonna take no no there you go yeah all right third I take third who did you pick third a cuff yeah I want to watch funbass I call hey memes I come there is a cup because he's still developing yeah but yeah you guys you

guys understand what I'm saying when you when it like when your bad owner does something good you want you want to give them credit for doing something good someone like and do last night they're like it's it's essentially like your four-year-old peeing in the toilet and not peeing it all peeing all over the the the toilet seat and on the floor you're like great job but really that's

what you're supposed to did okay here here's the real job of an owner this is really all you have to

do yeah I have an exhaustive process where you hire former general managers that have had yeah a lot of success and you hire them to hire your general manager yeah after you get that recommendation you hire a general manager and then you let your wife start a charity that you then support and that's all you do and then you go to games yeah that's it yeah that is the job and then you let the general manager take care of everything you make up you invent jobs for your children

and then your wife runs the charitable foundation and you just go to dinners and you go to every game and you make you look at your bank account once a year and you go on a cruise every fucking winter for a month and you're like yeah my basket honey my basketball team just appreciated by 75

million yeah this year that's nice okay let's get to hotseek cool throne thank you for letting me

event guys but I you know it's like hey we took one good small baby step forward and now you got to keep going just keep doing it all right hotseek cool throne okay before we get to hotseek cool throne twisted tea twisted tea is a refreshing heart ice tea made with real brood tea and 5% alcohol twisted tea is the perfect drink to keep the good times going all day and all season long whether you're hanging out at a friend's house catching a game at the stadium or at the bar or day drinking with

friends twisted tea is there to turn your day up and not should make a good time a great time grab a refreshing twisted tea today we love twisted tea it's delicious the half and half the original I love that half and half twisted tea man it hits the spot go get a twisted tea today summers right around the corner whether starting to break sunny days goes perfect with the twisted tea so go grab a refreshing twisted tea today hang hotseek cool throne my hotseek is Roman Anthony

we talked about the red socks struggles a little bit earlier in the show they're two and eight as of this recording our guy Shane tried to try to dunk on me during the season preview about me being down on the red sauce going into the year I would turn out I was right there's you know

Sell the team chance going on john Henry there's video of him like reacting w...

he was trying to figure out what the fans were saying and he goes oh sell the team which that was just oh he like he mowed it yeah like he was like you could see him like kind of

listening to those oh sell the team he was not ready to he did not think that's what they were saying

that's very funny and then Roman Anthony world baseball classic hero but he has been he's

he's become a meme basically if he can't he just can't throw anyone out from left field

oh no everyone just running on Roman uh Shane tried to tell me he was he was great last year but he was playing right field now he's playing left field he's probably going to be getting a lot more TH reps so that it's just not good when you're this early in the season early April and like the one of the main things maybe it's just cuz my algorithm but all I see is just don't run on Roman you're just a joke because you can anyone can run on Roman you are also there's a

throw he had last I were through like Billy football at two fighters yeah yeah and you will also are anti-attallion so you were true pre-disposed to hate a guy named Roman no I love him I'm pro row but

are you yeah doesn't seem like you are I am I'm saying he's on the hotsteam do you see this again

go back oh my god yes pretty bad terrible throw would you rather have mani playing defense yes like even I'm not talking about with the bat I'm just mean like defensive mani yeah it's fun that's it it's funny like I used to love it when mani were mirrors which is and you could play the monster he was good he was good to play in the monster he would like be a cut off man like 10 feet away from a guy in the outfield just a legend so bad vibes all around bad vibes all around

do you think that they're going to sell the team I don't because it makes money yeah yeah why would

you if you that yeah why would you sell the team that is the only way I talked to Dave but he was

he was trying to pick my brain the other day about like my my battles back and forth dance

Snyder and how it eventually happened I was like listen the bottom line is you just have to

hope that they start to lose money somehow and with Boston I don't see I don't see fans like stopping going to fit away part no yeah I mean it was like a 10 15 year process maybe even longer than that until it started hit like Snyder's pocketbook and DC but eventually got there I don't see what money wasn't really this you right it was it was double it was like he was a captain in scandal yeah sex past serial scandal and but also the money like the money does

make a difference to these guys but if the sex past serial scandal then happened he probably still on to team possibly if the yeah yeah it's a it's a good possibility but it did get to the point where like he had yeah sponsors pulling out that had to do I don't think the sponsors were to pull out if it was just the sex stuff and the team was making money like dad good ticket sales yeah it's like a combination but yeah it does it sucks because it it it feels like the red socks

just don't want to what they don't care about winning and as corny as it sounds I do think that baseball is better when the red socks are competitive for sure okay my cool throw into space shit yeah I was it was on my hot seat but yeah shout out go ahead I'm here everyone's talking about the the Artemis too yeah yeah they're they they they traveled farther than any mortal being has ever traveled yeah from earth so that was cool the the pictures are cool what's it yeah

are you a hater you a space hater I kind of just don't care until we go to Mars we Mars is cool this I want to go to Mars I don't know I just get call me when we're at Mars I cared a little bit because yeah I guess we got to go farther and farther and farther I want to go to Mars I want to go to Mars I want to appreciate what's in front of us this is cool but I would like to see Mars I don't know I just

want to see Mars this picture might also be a I okay it's not it's from the NASA account I think that's

it's from the human yeah I don't know maybe yeah this is not a video of the moon it's close up of the camera movement on a flipped image of the moon so I I maybe I think it's kind of cool because we are as far away as we've ever been I think it's cool because we have gotten to see like a new generation of flat earthers trying to figure out how to explain the way out of this one those pictures that's cool funny I'm down for that I'm just saying like maybe I just maybe I just expect more

out of us I'd like to go to Mars yeah it would be fucking badass if we got some Mars this one's from the White House okay that's also picture the photo photo NASA that's a cool picture all right fine you know what cool cool pictures I just also all right here's my problem go to Mars or go back on the moon

Going on the moon I think we're gonna go back to the moon all right so if we ...

it we're gonna do a base on the moon again we'd never been back on the moon how's that possible

that we went on the moon in the sixties we just never went back on it maybe we could never went

in first place thank you Hank that's what I'm saying I want to see us on the moon

we will we want the space race right it was like suck it Russia in your face Krushev let's see the fly by I want to see us on the moon I don't think there's a lot happening on the moon is a thing like I don't but it's still but don't like is it crazy we just went on it never went back we should build a fucking golf course on the moon every six two yeah I mean honestly like I'm gonna take NASA's man card for for sending this expedition up during March madness

like waiting till the end of the tournament I guess I'm just a dreamer sounds like you're not the only one sounds like you're not no I am I want to go I want to go deep I want to go far this mission was to test the ship in final ending area okay so then when thank you then that'll be sick when we go on the on the on the moon I'm I'm fucking in for that

I don't really understand any of what they're doing or how we're getting there but it is kind of

cool that it's the furthest that it's ever been yeah that humans have ever been you'll be further Mars Mars I would like to see Mars too don't Hank probably wants a football game on Mars yeah he does it was super on Mars yeah for sure but that's I mean Roger could tell would definitely be like jag wars you're going to Mars oh yeah and then you have and then you got to play the chiefs I'm gonna have football next week do can you imagine yeah no the chiefs playing a home game

on Mars yeah good luck okay good hot seat cool thrown Hank thanks great job Hank great job you might hot seat was gonna be flat earthers but instead I'll pivot my hot seat is going to be the real Olympics because we have an update on the enhanced games yes oh one of my favorite topics is a lot here oh yeah it's real it's real yeah did you see that the vaping protein was fake ah that was a fake story I got that's okay well it's a good idea I got it's not real but I would

I would I would like for what Max how come it's okay with pft gets got but it's but we've laughing that's real yeah I'm dumb yeah okay that's fair point fair point cow around old and dumb yeah all around yeah so I I want to say like as a as a podcast I I got got a couple weeks ago the ripoutine of quote was fake which one digging the grave so he's gonna go in it I just want to say as a podcast like maybe this is a disclaimer at the start we get caught it's okay that's just what we do I get got like

hourly yeah we we should just be like be okay like I'm okay with just being a guy who like if you if I read something if someone tells me something I'm just gonna take it as face value but yeah okay that's real and then I'll just tell everyone else let's just get got you don't like that I know I'm kind of with Max I like I I I posted what I thought was like a really heartwarming video oh well that was really stupid the whales getting cleaned yeah that was

you just didn't really yeah guy was driving that's totally different he was driving like a front-end loader on the face of an orca yeah that's totally I mean I the ripoutine of quote was like he could say that you you had a fucking John deer on top of a whale and look like it really needed it yeah ripoutine was done weird stuff than that yeah come on Hank but so I guess I got got by the vaping thing I still think that somebody should make it I think that's a great idea like joking might

be on them for inventing it as April Fool's gag and then somebody else steals their billion dollar

idea um actually let's have a product team just take a look at that I feel like partial sports could we got a good demographic for that here but the enhanced games just got valued at $1.2 billion and the enhanced games you might recall are the the steroid users alternative to the Olympics the all steroid Olympics where anything that you can do to your body is fair game for for body builders wait lifters swimmers sprinters etc it's being run by Peter Teele so it's definitely

not a scam and it's absolutely good for the world and our guy that we did the podcast with Hank

remember that boss yep boss was telling us about enhancing the bodies and how it's like a

gateway towards future scientific innovation so first you get like little implants in your eyeballs so you can read greens better yeah and next thing you know we're half man half cyborgs and we're

breaking 50 on the golf course I love it so yeah it's $1.2 billion valuation which is it sounds

like it's a fake valuation because it just sounds good to say $1.2 billion but they're trying to find a home for like broadcasting at this year I'm excited to see these freaks and like how fast they can run how high they can jump I'm gonna I'm gonna pay at least a little bit of attention to it yeah absolutely I want this I this this would be like must watch yeah absolutely now the the

Funniest part is when you look on the website for the enhanced games they the...

a little bit in the last couple of months because there was one page that was like a guide to coming

out as enhanced to your parents because they're saying that people that have been doing steroids

have been living in shame for too long yeah so it was like a guide of how to explain to your folks like like almost like you're coming out of the closet but you're coming out of the closet being like hey yeah I take steroids mom and dad yeah I hope you still love me yeah but it's a very funny website very funny concept I will be watching some of it yes absolutely and my cool throne I'm gonna go with mock drafts mm mock drafts is mock draft season officially yeah it is as as the

the seasons change and we close the page on college basketball a new page opens up and that is twenty twenty six NFL mock drafts with trades which is a great time in my favorite getting mad at mock drafts this early is so fun to do and yes so let's see on ESPN we got sunny style is a shraggers shraggers oh boy I mean shraggers zergah he hangs out with every coach yeah uh sunny styles to the commanders I would like that very much who do we have going to out on this Caleb Downs to the

Cowboys do we have to be a problem tie Simpson creeping his way back up into the first round

Jessica Omar Cooper Jr at 16 you like that name how do you grade that memes I'll take it like I give sunny styles an A also who got the bears taken Eagles get Denzel Boston at 23 round gone now what doesn't mean that yeah it's us why does she refer factory okay keep roll Denzel Boston sounds like an awesome nickname for ageing proctor is on the Patriots okay massive humanity I like that yeah so there's been how how tall is proctor like six seven

he's a massive humanity I love that when when he would just get the ball they throw like a little wide receiver screen to but anyways I'm excited to look at all the mock drafts because it means a football's coming back and it means that the drafts getting closer shut up Pittsburgh not making the kids go to school you get to stay home when the drafts in town baby yeah but yeah we I've seen a number of mock drafts even she put out his mock draft as well today it sucks don't read it

but all the mock drafts are coming out yeah I'm reading all of them and it was funny because last

year I was not at all into reading mock drafts I think at one point big cat I said to you like

is it just me or like this draft doesn't have the same juice as it normally does and then you realize it it's because maybe your your favorite team was good for one season yeah and you've got to get the top 10 yeah and now I'm all the way back yeah now I'm like this is the most exciting draft maybe ever maybe in the history of the NFL all right my hot seat funny that we're talking about because as I was as we're talking about getting got I was about to do a hot seat where I got

okay it wasn't it was the master sets the ones that that are going that like it looks like the master it's like master's merch hats and it just had like one that just had that Pemento on it one that said now driving and I was gonna say like it's crazy that the masters are selling these type of hats but I don't think it's real it is wait was it like the giant block letters yeah this suck look I don't I don't know

I think that's real they're real I don't like that I think those things help me out the master shouldn't

have hats that you could like this is like peach on it right Pemento yeah I don't know as alia maybe they are real okay I think those are real it'd be funny if they were not driving once funny yeah yeah but that's like not a master like you put not if tigers were else no definitely not you don't want him wearing that thing you like those hats I don't personally but and I just feel like the masters is like above that is that not yeah but they just want people they they know people are

going to be shopping true women be shop women be shop masters guys be shopping mm that's true I also sell one fake one okay it was like I got my ass eating at aiming corner yeah that was real that one is real yeah hundred percent real either way I guess I mean I shouldn't hate because

I've never been in the masters I don't know I just don't know I'd want I'd have to go see for myself

to really yeah you do a judge boots on the ground yeah I know the masters has such a cool logo and they're so like strict with it that like that's all they need so they don't have any of the like giant block letters that you see for most of the golf courses now these are like kind of tasteful and scripted but still I kind of agree with you it's like this seems like they're doing a little bit too much yeah yeah like I guess we're we're it feels like we're one one

masters away from them doing the upside-down letters and then I'm fully out who is the guy that that were uh sun devils upside down at the uh master's last year oh yeah it's like we're so

Pan it took a piston raised creek right yeah I'm actually like the master's g...

the masters might be the one piece no he's a fireball the masters might be the one tournament where

I I kind of love every ball is really hard out there you know yeah like for the most part like

a guy taking a piss on a golf course like who cares but I just kind of loved the masters like you cannot do this I love it I I was reading about the masters every year I do this I remind myself of like the different traditions they have there and how they do things just like completely completely differently from every other golf course they've got a team of like their staff wanders around the grounds just looking for people that are about to throw away trash yeah like

as you crumple up a hot dog wrapper whatever sandwich wrapper hey intercept they come up to you and they're like hand that to me please they have a zero trash policy I love that and then

my cool throne is also the masters because I saw this tweet it was very funny me it's a little

when's they reading for you this this just tells you how special the masters are this comes from JC Hoops Jackson Collier on Twitter he said my dad got tickets to the master's one year and took a friend of his apparently they were walking around the grounds marveling at a gusts beauty and what have you normal stuff for a really cool experience at some point they got hungry so of course went to get some food everything was inexpensive great part of the charm my dad told

his friend he had to get the Pemento cheese because that's the thing to do with the masters his friends just said okay got a Pemento cheese wolfed it down and that was the end of it that night back at their hotel the friend got ill like deathly ill getting sick fever hives the whole thing they went to a hospital in the friend recovered enough for them to drive home to this point my dad still had no clue what in the world had happened by the time my dad

drops his friend off at his house back in Arkansas he said to my dad those Pementos will get you this man was allergic to Pementos ate the Pemento cheese sandwich anyway and when my dad asked why in the world he ate the sandwich anyway the friend responded with I wanted the full masters experience that's beautiful that's awesome because it's like I know I'm going to maybe go to the hospital but we're at the masters and I have to eat it yeah respect I had a buddy that did that

was shrimp he was allergic to shrimp but once a year he loved it too much and he would just eat a shrimp and then just stab himself with the epipen be like I had to I got to take one for the team you got to do it you got to do it so yeah masters I mean that's just the best we've seen bacon and max home will come up it's it is the absolute best hey I heard a stat that last like three or maybe four years the person who won the masters was the person that was in the lead in the FedEx cup

points at that time oh yeah this is this has happened with the masters now the it's like the NCAA complication of of the masters where I've seen a lot of people just be like your masters winners are gonna come from these nine golfers and no one else it's like but you still got to pick one of the nine right pretty tough so yeah this this one is kind of a weird step because it's like based on the FedEx cup points which isn't like stroking or anything like that Jacob Bridgman

he's a really good putter that's all I know about the guy and then I think it's been like years

in years since the person who won the last tournament before the masters ended up winning the masters it's been like a very long time I feel like that one's tough though with with Bryson John Rom and Patrick Reed not factoring into that yeah and campsmith yeah oh also hotseet since we're talking about masters and Brooks has been able to play in all the events Irish cuisine because Rory was asked why he didn't go more Irish on his menu and he said I want to enjoy the dinner as well

yeah yeah it makes sense it's pretty good like there's not enough cabbage yeah beans franken bean beans toast hold it's hold tomatoes yeah just beer it's just on beer a beer flight a beer and potatoes yeah okay Zach my hotseet this week is gonna be Sabrina Carpenter if you guys see any of the new Sabrina Carpenter music videos out oh no she she made in the most respectful way possible Sabrina Carpenter may have dropped the hottest music video of 2026 okay so why share your hotseet

because I think it's appropriate to put her in the hottest seat possible okay before are we going

for the how old is she old full adult like full adult yeah full full adult like Ben and adult for at least three years okay right that's correct yes her she's been an adult for like five years seven years eight years almost happy birthday that's not a lot of adult almost happy birthday tons of adult yeah oh you miss little saces particularly well he didn't fill out the fucking Excel spreadsheet so tough Zach how much how much how many times have you watched this video uh probably three okay

that's good number let's just get a number no skips what's the best part uh talk to bottom

full video as far as a video go yeah yeah yeah okay video range like we're talking first

Second to like three minutes 20 seconds is the top of the video better is the...

I think I was more so center I was center focus frame okay that'd be that'd probably mid screen

you're what you're like you're like middle school basketball like guard the belly button

yeah can't go anywhere without his belly button here you ever have a coach tell you that you have the abdomen fall the abdomen lock in so guard the belly button can't go anywhere without it this is a good looking video I got to I got to agree with you on that one Zach yes yes good she got good looking friends too mm shout the women it looks like she's having shout out women they're also famous we love women who are famous friends Madeline Klein and Margaret quality

I do that dude you didn't let me fucking finish they Madeline Klein and Margaret quality can I tell you something they they both look a little jealous of Sabrina hmm it's like they

know that's great the stars energy yeah yeah they kind of like wish that she wasn't so hot yeah

if I saw those three I would go up and I'd only talk to Sabrina yeah and the other two like what's this guy's deal it is a house for me to pretty sick house just kidding I wouldn't

even go close to any of these women because yeah I'd be very afraid very very afraid

good hot seat cool tour my cool tour in this week is gonna be Kansas heroes play her a card Jensen yeah because earlier in the week or in previous days he did oversleep but since then has hit two two home runs and he's five for eight nice so he used it as fuel and kind of figure out how to contribute to the team moving forward love that so sleeping in not the end of the world body guys have been there and he was able to bounce back and I wish nothing but

prosperity for him in the future so Zach how many times did he sleep in on record they've got won in this press conference no time in this press conference he slept in that's correct all right now was it alarm issue do we unpacked at all was he on my gaming he did say that it was just it was just an oversight with the alarm he didn't wake up and then he's gonna you know he recognized his mistake in this press conference and he's gonna move forward he's gonna make sure

it doesn't happen again as what he said you did a very good video Zach explaining how this could happen I sent it to Vinnie there's a chance cards Jensen saw your video and we're gonna try to get him in the office when the world's coming down if he does see it I hope that he was able to watch it and realize oh I'm not alone in this it's gonna be okay and then you can move forward from this and you can grow representation matters I agree there's guys out there of all shapes

and sizes that's done yeah guys who can hit guys who can hit you haven't done in a while no we're do for one it's cute too it's brings creeping up but we're just trying to be it's best of our ability when was the last one we're doing where do seasons changing yeah talking do you know what they're changing what we're doing

April yeah Q2 started April one yeah and I think you did have one in Q1 yeah so we're doing

and you said you yourself said once a quarter yeah worst case yes but not showed is he's figured out showed is love that exact you have any other you have any that you had on the list right the other rest of this was a Roman Anthony in space so we got oh got off look at that same wavelength of course also check there shout out Jacob he hit up the group chat with a little bit more explanation of what's going on with this moon mission okay so we're going back to the moon in

twenty twenty eight this mission is to test the ship find the landing area okay so we're scouting we're all right so you know what I'm back in I'm back in yeah we're going back because I didn't I thought we were just going for a drive by I didn't I wasn't interested in a drive by I want to go on there and then I want to go to Mars is that fair completely yeah okay what are you watching Hank oh I think we're watching something that maybe it was like I'm very nervous about Frankie

Fleetwood so I thought it was made to possibly part three's Wednesday Wednesday yeah now one thing we got to talk to Max about later uh you're able to see everybody's practice range session like I can go up I can look up Max home as like every swing that he took on the practice range today okay that feels a little personal to yeah that feels like an invasion of privacy yeah we'll have a word here nobody tells you like the ball speed how far it went where it went he was leaking

stripes a little bit to the right oh no they'd be intentionally maybe intentionally yeah I don't know what he's aiming at yeah it's like when I was doing many golf I was trying my hardest try my house try my hardest try my hardest okay let's get to our interviews we got Shane Bacon and then Max home before we get to Shane Bacon he's brought to you by State Farm in basketball the great players don't just go to loan they have teammates coaches and a solid support system behind

that was disgusting not great never great whenever they play their worst game of the year

on that level of stage I will say the bacon curse if you will is over I went to Arizona no

two and I went there between their and Syracuse because of the basketball team if you remember

that was your Syracuse when the national championship is Arizona still never made a final four until this year so finally nice to see them get to the final four yeah take it back and now the coach doesn't have a boss anymore so that's good yeah you're good Tommy Roy yeah he can just do whatever gosh he has some rumblings in the background about that that it hasn't wasn't great so I'm very happy Tommy staying around and the hopes that maybe next year we can keep the run going but man I

love this team so much it was such a bummer they got smoked like that it is the worst when that when the season is special season ends like that all right so master's week and now I have another question that's not about master's week but it's obviously the biggest story right now in golf is Tiger Woods obviously we saw that he's going to get hopefully some help he gets arrested for the DUI he's also become the most popular meme in the world that meme has him the I was just talking

to the president all of it's got it's got shelf life it's going to be around for a long time but my real question is I heard all this stuff like Tiger was about to be the writer cup captain type Tiger had you know he's going to play at the master's this year is all that just on pause or is it maybe more significant than it's like hey he's no longer going to be the writer cup captain he's no longer going to be doing all these things well I mean the rumors about Tiger be in the writer cup

captain he's got a really good relationship with the guy that owns a deromanor where they're playing

next year in Ireland I mean they've been friends for a long time so I think there was a little

bit of kind of a handshake in the background of maybe Tiger be in a big part of that because obviously that brings more eyeballs to an event that already has a ton of eyeballs but I'd heard Tiger didn't really want to do it I mean there's a lot of commitments you see how involved Luke Donald

is on the European side it's basically come his life right right I don't think Tiger wanted to do

a lot of the background media stuff things like that so I don't necessarily think he was going to do that anyway I think he was definitely in the conversation potentially to kind of be the face of it maybe have some people in the background kind of doing the workings that Luke Donald does on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis but I think to your point I think the pause is happening right now with the golf I mean obviously he's not going to play this week and he's taken time away

and get out of the country to work on himself and everything that's going on that's not to say he won't play golf later this year I mean there's been a lot of talk around him potentially playing in the U.S. senior open with an opportunity nobody's ever won the U.S. junior amateur U.S. amateur U.S. open in a U.S. senior and Tiger is a big history buff in terms of the golf stuff so

I think there's a focus on potentially playing in that at some point this summer but right now just

the focus on you know working on himself getting better and obviously dealing with everything he's been dealing with yeah and I do feel like for the last couple of years if there's been any problems in golf the solution has been like we'll just get Tiger to do it you're right like whether it's you know like bringing the live golfers back figuring out what the PGA's next direction is TGL or even the rider cup it's just like Tiger's going to help out next time and everything will be perfect after

that happens yeah he's still such a force yeah so it's like as much as it's we want him to get

Better it is it does leave a void in the golf world when he when he's taking ...

yeah I mean I think there's a level of pressure on his shoulders right now to make sure

you're continuing to do this stuff I mean he went from the guy that hit the golf shots and I'll be in the guy that's kind of making the decisions in the background and all of that attention and and kind of background movement with the PGA tour and everything that's going on in terms of new scheduling and money moving around and signature events I mean you think about professional golf I mean this week you know is is out actually an outlier in terms of the focus simply being on golf

and who's going to win and the excitement of watching a great golf tournament but for the most part over the last three four years most of the attention it almost feels like the offseason with the MBA where right now we care more about where players are getting traded than the actual product on the court and I feel like right now with golf there's been a lot of pressure with live in the PGA tour and now obviously that pressure is moved into what's the PGA tour going to look like

in the future and how's the schedule going to lay out and I think so many of these eyeballs and

players kind of focus on Tiger to lead the charge and we joke a lot about this in the background I mean you guys know this you can be an excellent golfer or basketball player doesn't mean you're going to be a great coach doesn't mean you're going to be a great GM and we've seen plenty of superstars fail in that department and so you are leaning on a guide to be this you know business savvy dude to do all of these things when maybe it's not what he's great at yeah so so the mask when it comes

to like the rider cup like it's a football analogy if you wanted to revolutionize offense you want to find like the next wrinkle in the game you don't necessarily hire a guy that was a former quarterback or a great player you're like Sean McVeatt he was that young guy that had a different brain you know now a lot of the disciples from like his coaching tree into that analytics mode is there so who's the golf nerd that has like the forward thinking analytics brain that could

do for the United States what Luke Donaldson yeah I mean the Europeans have Eduardo Molinari who's probably a name you occasionally hear of but I mean a former professional golfer that is kind of become the stats guru for the European side I'm not sure right now who that is on the

American side I think Paul Azinger was that to the previous generation and I think the fact that

they didn't keep bringing Paul back was a bit of a miss in terms of what the PJ of America could have done on the American side you know Zinger leaned heavily into people away from the game to kind of guide him in terms of coaching but I'm not sure who that player is right now on the American side I think we've kind of stuck players in the position obviously going with Kegan last time I mean there's a lot of talk around guys like brand-esthetic her and Stewart Sink potentially

in terms of a dare manner I wouldn't hate if they brought Zinger back and put him in that position to see what he can do now but the one problem is the older you get the more kind of distance you get from this generation I think Zinger had a great relationship with those guys like blue weekly and Anthony Kim and those types of players that I'm not sure he has that same relationship with these young 20 somethings that would in theory be on the team next year.

Right okay so this week let's start with big picture the weather looks incredible I feel like

this is the first time in a long time that it looks just immaculate but the story I've already heard it's going to be very dry so break that down who's who is that going to help and what does that mean when when a gust of dries out what what type of players are going to have the advantage.

I think more accuracy off the tee is going to be very very big I mean that's not always

the case at a gust so you can spray it and get away with it you know tiger not the straightest hitter off the tee in terms of driving the golf ball even in his prime obviously had a lot of success here Phil Mikkelson much of the same even Jordan's speed who got out of such a great start early in his career here not a not a really straight driver the golf ball so I look at players that can hit it straight and find a lot of fairways because you're going to get that 15 20 30 yard

run out when you do find the short stuff and then I think it just goes back to iron play this is always

the second shot golf course this is always the guys that are the most styled and most confident

with their iron play guys like Scotty guys like Rory guys like Kalimura Kalaw obviously if he's 100% healthy I look at that level of player that will have success because it's not necessarily going to be a birdy fest this week I think this will be a lot more somebody shooting 2 300 par is going to be a great score and so I look more towards the great iron players and the guys that can find fairways over the type of players that can overpower the golf course.

So you mentioned Scotty Schefler being a great iron player he is but he's been bad this year his iron said well bad for Scotty very bad right he's been like pedestrian PFT I'd say bad I'd say bad for a pro golf or bad bad. He's a second right now yeah I mean like he's he's average on the PGA tour this season with his iron so I mean barely picking up shots against the field in terms of the strokes gain metric with the iron's this is a stat that he's led each of the last three seasons

on the PGA tour I keep equating it to if Steph Curry started to miss free throws and you kind of be looking around going what's going on here but the fact that he has been this inconsistent

With the iron's has been an issue and it's the reason that in the inconsisten...

followed him since that first win this season so for Scotty to play great this week the iron's

have to at least get a little closer to what we've seen in previous iterations he doesn't have to be the best in the field but he's got to be top 10 to have a chance to win this. But he does get a new kid the kid bomb yeah right days ago. Remy might be a winner. It's so much pretty. Remi's last year's two weeks old and already gone to the master she Remi's at a go. What's what's perspective like what's the second layer of perspective big

cat like you have three kids that was your perspective after two mine changed after two.

Yeah I think two is um two is definitely like less stress like uh because you you're just you just

know the routine a little bit more so there's I think that it's maybe not as much of a pop for him like life changing you know you already have a kid you have your second it's awesome but it's also like all right we've done this we know the playbook so might not help him that much. Yeah Remy's probably the minimum. Yeah minimum. You think Remy's the youngest patron in the history of Augusta has to be. Man that's good that's a great question. We got to make that up.

Is that what we're saying? Yeah. Two weeks. Nine days. I mean 10 days. I mean 10 days. I've been into the history books. Yeah maybe there's probably been a baby that's been born out of gusto. I would imagine that's happened one time. Yeah. Yeah. That's definitely out. And you got a name that baby T olive. So um out of the out of the field this week. Tell me if I'm crazy um but I have

to bet on you know my friends I always bet on Maxoma, always bet on Brooks Capca. I've developed

a fascination with watching Jake Nap swing a golf club um so I have to continue to bet on him. Does he have any chance at all because his swing it's like it's like you're meditating when you

watch it. It's like Freddy couples. It's beautiful to see. Does my guy Jake Nap have any shot this week?

You know I think he has an opportunity to I think he's a five top five favorite of mine. No, but I think he's definitely got a potential to do something. I do feel like we are trending towards a quote unquote random winner. Here are the masters you think about the recent trend in terms of all these superstars winning around here. I mean you have two Scotty win. You got John Romain there. Obviously Rory last season. There's kind of been this incredible run over the last few

years of kind of big names winning here much like what we see at the players. And we have seen at times random quantum you know random players pop up and win. I like Jake Nap a little bit. I like Okshay in terms of players off the board. I like Patrick Rita lot again to potentially pick

up a second green jacket. I actually have for you guys I wrote down my five best case master

scenarios. If you want me to go. Yeah, let's go. I love that. I love this. Okay. I thought about you guys as I did this. So at number five I have Patrick Reed winning. I mean it would be interesting. It would be fun. Yeah. But I don't know if we've talked enough in terms of golf especially with you guys about you know some of the players leaving live. I was doing the math. Live at one point had 13 major champions on their tour. I mean obviously they've now lost two

with right with Brooks leaving and with Reed leaving. And this guy leaves live and then he's just absolutely dominating the European tour. He's one twice lost in a playoff. He's leading the race to the buy right now which is basically their version of the FedEx Cup. So he's been the best player in Europe and he also has the best resume at Augusta. Basically over the last five years when you look at where he's finished came close last season. So Reed at number five again I just it

would just be funny where he given Patrick Reed the green jacket. I think that would be something

people at home would be interested in. Agreed. Yeah. Check your pockets. Okay. Yeah. If you put the jacket on him. Yes. All right. Number four I thought of you guys. This is my all PMT final round Brooks versus backs in the final pairing. PFTs got his kind of Donna Kelsy jersey going. Yeah. As he's watching the final round, I think that would be fun. Brooks trying to win a third different major max trying to exercise the demons from 2024. Is that best case scenario for you guys? No.

No. I think I could watch. You talked about Donna Kelsy. I would be too nervous to see. Yeah. Yeah. Best case scenario for us is just one of those two wins. Like I don't I haven't wanted to win by a lot or do you want it to be stressful? Win by a decent amount because then I would say actually win by a lot because then we could make t-shirts. Yeah. Good point. No. I mean Hank would have the t-shirts ready to go before the the term. Shane are you familiar with that

when not what he was just 2020. Whatever date, whatever year it was the rain rain storm. John wrongs year. Yeah. The year. John wrong one. Yeah. The rain fucked us and I think Brooks was in the lead during the rain delay and then Hank made up congrats Brooks t-shirts and from that point on. Just he put out Hank's nothing good happened. Yeah. He did. He jinxed it. Do you have those shirts anywhere? Like is there anyone left? I can try them. I don't know. I think that the

way barceral works is pretty much any team that wins a championship or it's close. Like you

Kind of have to be prepared.

Sunday. No. No. No. Saturday. No. It was Saturday. Yeah. It was Saturday. Yeah. It was Saturday.

He was in the final group on Sunday. It was Saturday. I know it was Saturday. And we all have huge Johnny either way. I like the you guys. Yeah. Go ahead. I was just going to say I like the way that you guys are on Hank for doing his job. I mean Hank's doing his job. Yeah. Thank you, Shane. Can't exist. Did do my job in trouble. Don't do my job in trouble. Yeah. He's a wife of

you guys playing. Yeah. This is I feel like something's up here. No. Either way. I think that

way. I got I got something for Hank in a little bit. I got something for Hank a little bit that he's going to like. Okay. But yeah. Just get the shirts made now. Why don't you just get the shirts now? Brooks. 2026 Masters Champion. And you don't have to sleep on it on Saturday night. Yeah. Easy enough. Okay. All right. So that eliminates Brooks. No. No number number number. Number three. I got Gary Woodland winning. Obviously. I think this is the one that would be the most emotional.

I'm sure you guys follow the whole journey at Houston with the brain surgery and PTSD. He obviously

opened up about that. This guy is second on the P. J. Torren driving distance this year at the age of 41.

He's averaging 324 yards off the tee. Obviously played great last time. I said it's the best he's played in his career. And a fun little sidebar for Gary Woodland. If you want a major. If you wanted a gust to he'd have a majored pebble and a gust to only jack tiger and Tom Watson have done that. So Gary Woodland kind of the feel good story in my list. Number two is speed being tied for the lead with nine holes to play on Sunday. No. Yeah. Yeah. I'm focusing on you. This is just I just

want it. I want it in my bloodstream. Big cat. Do you ever do stuff with your kids and you think

back to when you were young and you think like how the hell did I just do this stuff? I think about

the trampoline a lot. Yeah. In this world like how is I so like easy going on the trampoline and now it makes me so nervous. Yes. Definitely big time. Big time. Yeah. trampoline is a big kind of how. Yeah. Yeah. It's in like I do it a lot and it makes me have I feel uncomfortable. I used to do flips. Now obviously I don't. I'm 42 years old. I feel this way about Jordan speed being a contention at a major championship. Like that's kind of like jumping on a trampoline

as a kid. Like how did I go through this emotionally? How was I able to handle it? How did I go through the swings? And I just feel like this new era of golfing needs to feel that at a major championships. So Jordan speed with nine holes to play understanding what all that feels like because it's not easy. It's not like you shoot even on the back and wins. Right. You make two birdies in an eagle and a triple and it'll be completely crazy. I thought you were

going to go with the angle of like for Jordan's speed. Like when he was younger he was not thinking about how nervous he should be and now when he plays that's where his brain goes. He's like become a dad to himself on the course. Probably in some regard he probably thinks a little bit

about it. He's actually played pretty good golf this season by the way. I think Jordan's speed

is I mean if there's such a thing as a champion as a sleeper. I think Jordan's speed is a relative sleeper considering it's been more consistent. It had been great but there's been more consistency. And then my number one scenario is role reverses Bryson. Yeah. Sunday Bryson wins. Yeah. I just think that's a lot of fun. So he Bryson again. I had a question about that because I actually think now that our beef is over with Bryson it's been you know a couple of years now. I actually kind of

like Bryson in this tournament he was close you know he kind of blew it last year. He didn't finish

second. He blew it last year where he had a little stretch. It was like hey Bryson is going to maybe

be contending here and it was you know the Rory story took away from everyone else who finished below him. I feel like this is a revenge spot for Bryson and maybe the dryness helps us is shock game is profile. I mean if he if he's then it's straight off the teeth and very much helpful because he'll have you know he'll have short irons into the power 5s which will be extremely beneficial. Typically you got to dominate the power 5s around a gust of national to contend and win.

But I'm with you. I think Bryson's my pick big cat this week. I mean the way he's played this season couple of top six finishes and his last two starts obviously came close last year. But felt what Sunday at a gust of feels like when you have a chance to win. But I mean he's one twice on live and what up was the playoff over John Rahm where he hit a three wood from 290 to 12 feet in the mud to win. I mean Bryson's playing great and I'm with you. I think Bryson has a real opportunity

to come back out and get it going once again. Do you think that the fact that Rory won last year makes it more likely that he'll be in contention again this year because he's kind of like playing free. He doesn't have to think about it all the time. Are do you think it's going to be more like a victory lap for Rory? I think it all comes down to Thursday PFT. I think with Rory it's how he plays in the opening round. I mean he's been dreadful if we're being honest on Thursdays in his career

at the masters hasn't shot in the 60s on a Thursday since 2018. His scoring average in the opening round is last seven masters 73.14. I think Thursday tells us a lot about how engaged Rory is obviously

He wants to win.

last to do it was Tiger and no 102. I mean I think he understands the history of it. But I think we'll see obviously the back injury who knows how he feels in terms of health wise he'll tell us he feels great. But obviously when you get under the gun we'll see how he's feeling in terms of the physical nature of it. I kind of like Rory a little bit. I kind of lean a little bit on could he freewheel it a little bit more? Obviously understand it if he plays terrible who cares?

I mean it's not like we're going to be grinding Rory on Sunday night if he doesn't get himself in contention. But I think going out there and just being able to hit driver all over the place and maybe try to make a lot of birdies and an eagle's on a tough golf course could play into his hands a little bit more. Have they checked his driver? Is he going to be allowed to use an eagle one like he did last year? I'm hearing it's legal at this point. But I mean this is you know we're

recording this on Monday so who knows how bouncy it'll be on a Wednesday. I have something else for

you guys if you want to hear it. Let me know if you're ready for it. Now I love it. Let's go.

So I wrote this today. These are holes at a gust of national that fit the personality of y'all show. Oh, okay. I like this. Shane. I thought you guys might be into this. So we're going to start at the 13th. Obviously everybody knows the 13th fame part five one of the most famous holes in the world. This hole is big cat kind of the heart beat of the program keeps it on the tracks for the

most part. Makes some incredible points at times. Can make some horrible points. It's nice. But I'd

say for the most part people look forward to 13. They love having big cat around and he's just continued to rise in terms of popularity over the years. I think the 12th is Max who simple yet complicated can blow up on anyone at any point on any given day. You know, I think you look at it and you see kind of this sweet little boy. Just like you look at 12 and you think it's a wedge or not iron yet all of a sudden you're making a seven when you walk away. So 13 big cat 12 is Max.

I like that. PFT. I got you at 15. I got you as the 15th the par five if you're okay with that. Yeah, I mean, sure. I thought you were going to pick a short one, but that's fine.

Well, no, no, that's I think that that's low hanging fruit. I wasn't going to do that tour.

Sorry man. The 15th is a brilliant golf hole. And I find you a brilliant human being.

Half the fairway is basically a no-go if you miss it on the left side. We saw Rory Battle that last season.

The green is really enticing. If you get cute, you can make a bogey. And there's a ton of history of 15. You think about the bridge. PFT. I know you're a big history buff. So I feel like 15 is you. A couple of parfives of the big boys on the show. And then, hey, I look at you as the 14th hole. Kind of stuck between two superstars. You have your moments all the time. I think the green is extremely underrated much like I find you extremely underrated on this program.

And I think there's some great stuff that happens at the 14th each and every year, especially with some of the whole locations over the weekend. So Hank is 14. I got Zach is seven. He's easy to forget about seven. I feel like Zach, I mean, I know a lot of people don't sleep on this guy anymore. But early in this career, kind of easy to sleep on him. It's a sneaky hole. It's got better over time, much like Zach has. It's actually gotten longer and kind of more creative.

Over time, I feel like Zach early on was every now and again, maybe once a week he'd pop in now, obviously he's on like these on YouTube all the time. I mean, I'm assuming he's probably got his own brand at this point. Probably got an agent. Zach, you got an agent or no? Agent list. Yeah. How'd he be on the team? Yeah. Well, for now. Wait, wait, wait, wait to we get through this week. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, people going to be blowing up the, blowing up the phone. So I got Zach

is the seventh hole. I, I find Zach one of my, I find the seventh one of my favorite holes at the golf course. And I find Zach one of my favorite characters in sports podcasting. And then the 18th is memes because let's go. A lot of memes come out of the 18th. Yeah. I think about Scottie sitting down at 18 last year, all the winning moments, both the good ones and the awkward ones, the 18th is memes. So those are my breakdowns of the holes at Augusta National as, as you guys

on this job. I love it. And also, I want to say thank you Shane because if you should have seen

memes as smile there because he was, you know, in the back of his head he's like, and he's going to forget me. He's going to make me, you know, the who just parking lot in Augusta. No, you get 18 memes. There you go. So that was great. I love that hole. We're everywhere. We're all

the action app. Part of T-Shaktal. You basically just did like a children's book for how to learn

about Augusta. For you, you talked to us like before years old, then we loved it. You don't spin down as much as possible. Like, you, you are, you truly know this show. The, the two ways to explain something to us is dumb it down and compliment us. And we're, we'll be like, oh, shit. We know that. Also like, maybe show a picture of boobs while you're saying. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that was great. That was tough to do. Tough to do this week. Yeah. Yeah. All right.

So let's, let's, let's break down real quick. Can you maybe give us, like, so your pick

Amongst the, the favorites and then a couple long shots and why maybe stay to...

could potentially win it. Yes. So I mentioned Bryson. He's going to be my pick this week. I was

kind of leaning heavily on Patrick Reed for a long time with the way he got out of the gate. But I'm just

going to go Bryson. I think this is his year. He's one of those guys that seems to get better as

he understands golf courses. He played great. I mean, you forget how good he played as an amateur, you know, when he, when he won the U.S. Amateur and then played here alongside Jordan's speed, I think that was 2016. I mean, he had a chance to be near the top of a leaderboard through 36 holes. I think he made triple on 18 on Friday afternoon to kind of lose steam and then a finished low amateur that week. But Bryson is a history buff and loves this place and understands the important

stuff that I think there's added incentive to go out there and do it considering what happened last season. You know, to exercise the demons, if you will, I mentioned Patrick Reed though. You know, listen, we love watching dudes bomb it off the tee, Brooks, Bryson, Rory, guys like that. Patrick Reed's a bit of a throwback in terms of the way he does it. Doesn't hit it really straight off the tee. As I mentioned earlier, kind of important to find fairways

this week. But I go back to the Zack Johnson Masters when he won this golf course played really, really tough. You've got to pitch the ball well if you're going to get around a gust of

when it plays firm. And I think Patrick Reed has some of the best hands in the world.

And I think the way he's played this season, he's got a ton of confidence. I don't love the new sponsorship. I don't love rolling into a new week with a new sponsor hat. But I don't think that stuff affects Patrick Reed. I like Patrick Reed with a potential to win. And as I mentioned, Oxie, you know, he has a lot of fairways. Oxie is not super long, but he drives it incredibly straight. He's a left handed golfer. A lot of lefties of that success around a gust of

national. And the putter this season has been incredible. Even outside of the victory, he's playing some of the most consistent golf of anybody in the world. So I'd say Oxie's kind of my pick down the board if you will and read and Bryson or near the top who I like this week. Okay. I like it a lot. I have a question for you about a controversy at a gust of this year. The Nones. This is the last year that they're selling the Nones at a gust of,

oh, no. What happened? Why are we taking the Nones off the market? I thought they were wildly popular. Guys, you know what? You present them to people. You see them get popular. People love

them. They get obsessed with them. Then you move on to something else. That's what the master's

does great. They don't stick with one thing. They're always introducing new food. They've got a

candy bar this year. I haven't tried it up, but I'll try it out. Why? I don't know what you guys know how it is. They're making a candy bar. Back up, you can't just go, how did you get the new food item? Candy bar? They made a candy bar. I'm called candy bar. It's called candy bar. No, no, no, no. It's called candy bar. That's the name of it. Candy bar. But is it a candy bar? Candy bar.

Yeah, candy bar named candy bar. That's the thing. All right. So here's what I'll do. How come nobody does that for now? I mean, you know, I mean, I think the peach ice cream sandwiches such a such a winner every year that they don't lean heavily into the to sweets. But I'll see if these things can ship and if so, I'll grab a few and ship them to the fellas and you guys can

let me know how the candy bar tastes. Yeah, it would be amazing. Yeah, but it's dark chocolate. I don't

like dark chocolate. Oh, dark milk chocolate blended with caramel rice crisp and he's like, you don't you don't like milk chocolate. You don't like milk chocolate. I like dark chocolate. I said dark chocolate. Dark chocolate. Dark chocolate. I don't like. I like milk chocolate. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So I like dark chocolate. And you eat dark chocolate though, even. I will eat it. I'm not saying I'm not going to eat it. But I just don't. It's based for milk chocolate. Dark chocolate will like

cure you of a heart attack. Yeah. Super healthy. Yeah. It's a very healthy. Yeah. So we had a candy bar. No, no, no. I saw that the known was being sold for like $10,000 on eBay. So my thought was that the popularity of these things is wild. My my theory was that the the find people had a gust of national saw people freaking out over this known so much and they said, let's this is a bit much for a gust of national people are acting like wild animals for these things. It's too popular.

So we're going to take it away. I think I think it blew up. I will say that the did you guess the umbrella like comes off and you can adjust it for the 2026 iteration of the gnome. Yeah. That's a attention to detail. Yeah. I mean, yeah. I think you can only get one this year as well. I think that's that's a new rule. So they're obviously kind of they understand the popularity. Listen, they've got the finger on the pulse with what's going on in the merge area. Right.

Uh, Hank, I'm sure you've got some questions. Yeah. I was just going to ask about at the lefties and you and you talked about Archchael a little bit, but but between him, Bobby Mac, Harmon, Matt McCarty. I don't know, Bubba, Bubba and Mike Weir think of the other ones. What are their Bob, Bobby Mac is is a dark horse that I'm I'm looking at does he have a path? Yeah. I think I think he definitely does. I mean, I think he's one of those guys coming off his best major

season of his career. A couple of top 10s came close. Obviously, it opened. When you look at players that

Play well at open, typically similar players that play well at Augusta and Bo...

I think in in tougher conditions, he seems to shine. So I think Bobby Mac is a really great sleeper pick. Hank, I've said a lot of compliments to you today. I probably need to insult you as I get off the show.

I like Matt McCarty as well. You know, Matt played great last season. First masters for him.

I think it's a golf course. He likes a lot. I've talked to him a bit about Augusta and how much he

kind of fell in love with the play. I mean, it's easy to love the golf course. But as a player, I think sometimes it takes a little bit of time to understand it. And he was, you know, near the top of the leaderboard on Saturday at a chance to really get himself in contention. He missed out on the auto invite last year by one shot and then plays his way into it this year. So I like McCarty as well. I'd say, I'd say if you went auction, Bobby Mac, Matt McCarty, like a three play in terms of one of

of those guys winning. I think you probably get good value on that and I like all three of those guys.

Nice question. Any other questions? Do you have something else for Hank?

Shane? I mean just I mean I love I like Hank a lot.

Lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty lefty Lefty, lefty law would you here here's a question. Wait so are we lefty a hundred percent now Hank or two question. Great question. Great question. Yeah, I mean mentally. Yes. So you're will be putting lefty and a minute ago. I'm not sure. I'm swinging left hand the clubs and a right-handed putter.

So I'm not 100. I did that for a while. The other way my dad went righty golf or lefty putter for a while. I didn't work out great for him. Why the putting lefty? The putting righty. I just doesn't like when I switch to swinging lefty that felt natural kind of from the beginning. Putting never felt natural doesn't feel natural at all and I just like I don't see the vision long term of switching to lefty. Like it just feels very weird in the opposite of the way that like swinging lefty feels pretty natural.

And and putting righty is not power is a lefty golfer. Seems like the power that's the hardest thing when you switch. It's way stronger like I hit it farther. Really. Yeah, since the beginning. Wow, interesting. He didn't hit that far as a righty. He didn't know how to move his hips when he was hitting. He's unlocked it. He looks like if you talk to like if you talk to like troncard or it no laying up about this. No, I've watched his videos like I watched his videos and some of the the podcast he did. Yeah, he did it for like a year.

He's really the only one. Like I've done a lot of research and he's pretty much the only person who's like Done some similar. He how to go for it. There was a guy named macogradie. There was a macogradie back in the day that tried to apply to qualify for the US open as a righty and a lefty.

I think he tried to apply as a lefty is like macogradie too. And the USDA wouldn't allow him.

But the rumor was he was an incredible lefty golfer. Obviously was a very, very good righty golfer. And then VJ apparently is a scratch golfer's a lefty.

So there there've been people that can dip the I mean obviously pro golfers can dip their toe in it, but in terms of the the every day man. Yeah, I mean there's not a lot of guys that will fully commit to the opposite side. You got this, Hank. You got to fully commit as a man though to the opposite side, including starting this week with our many golf tournament. I don't I'm not putting lefty. I don't know what to tell you. So you're not fully committed. So you're not fully committed. I just don't know that. I'm fully committed as a man. You're a boy. That's fine.

Lots of people. But there's so many people got to that put the opposite way. There's a boy's out. There's a guy boy. It's a lot of little boys boys are fine. Yeah. No. Yeah. No, Hank. Is there been any thought to the note of the gay thing where you have the rules I putter and you put Lefty and righty depending on how the pipe breaks. Not that many not not that. No, I know. I know they're asking. Sorry. I'm stuck on pft. Yeah, pft. He just said he's attracted a little. No, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. To not say that. I said I said it's fine. Boys are fine. I was saying it's fine to be a boy like Hank and not a man like us.

And then he said boys boys are great. No, he said little boys are fine. No, I didn't say. I never said little. I don't think. Yeah. I think I just said boys are fine. It didn't sound good. I'm not here to argue in favor of saying boys are fine. You should not say that. But I didn't say little boys are great. Oh, so you're just saying little is the I'm saying that Hank is being a little boy and that's okay. It's fine. It's okay. Did you guys ever been to the master's? No, I've got to go. I don't think they would appreciate this type of conversation.

No, the problem is we do our many golf tournament the week of the master's week. I do want to go. We we have to one year just say fuck it. We're going and do it. Yeah, I would like to go, but also it's I don't know that they let us. That means we've said a lot of things. No, yeah. Yeah, but I mean, but you guys are also like you love you love the golf tournament. You guys are golf fans. I mean, Hank's like the biggest golf right now. Yeah, by far. Oh, I have a question for your Shane. What would happen? Literally cover golf. Yeah. Yeah. If if hypothetically a guy that's like favored to win the tournament. What if he slept in and missed his tea time on Thursday?

I mean, I mean, Dunzo.

Yeah. That's crazy. All right, Shane. I got one last question for you. Robac question. Are you Joe BACK dot com promo code take 20% off your first purchase. Cusives, Polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts, rowback dot com promo code take. I think they actually have the azalea collection right now on row backs. So go row back dot com said it's golden right now. Last question for you. Have you ever won the media raffle?

To play? No, I have not had you ever year. I haven't in the last few years, but early in my like writing blogging days back in the in the blogging era, I would enter, but no, never. Never got the tap. Have you at this point. Did you enter this year?

No, I have not come on. Get yourself in there. I didn't I didn't even bring my sticks down. That's I know that's sad to say. But this is a busy time of year for me.

I've got two little kids, you know, like, I mean, my wife called me today. Kids got pink. I already like, oh, an extra day even with this on the on the horizon. It's like, I need to get back and be a human in the household. So this is much as I'd I'd love to to get involved. I feel like that's I've learned big cat even if you're in the golf space, telling your partner that you're staying somewhere to play golf doesn't doesn't play well. So yeah, and I just if that's not a, doesn't go up. I just love the media lottery just when someone wins who's like never golfed and everyone gets so upset. It's like, well, that was the point of the lottery like yes, you go in the lottery. And if you win it, you get the lottery. Like you can't be mad at someone for winning it. Yeah, it's awesome.

Yeah, and there's a there's a second lottery this year. I believe the new course that they just opened the municipal course here. I believe it's called the patch. There's a second lottery for players for media to get an opportunity to play that. And I think those have already the names have already been announced. And they're saying there's going to be no kind of overlap. If you will be interested to see if somebody gets both, you know, gets the double dip. Yeah. And another big story. Maybe bigger than the master's tournament itself is Wednesday will Tommy Fleet would son be able to clear the water this year.

It's a great question. You got to get the quote, right? I've got to get the Mike in front of him. Just haven't part of the broadcast. Yeah, I mean, he is he is a quote machine. He's got to get over. I think he might be coming this way. Yeah. No, he's got it. Thanks. Yeah, absolutely.

When it's Charlie was going to play. Oh, so what is he going to college now? I mean, you know, I mean, when when when a U.S. amateur make a championship of U.S. amateur could get him in. So, let's say,

over under four and a half years, maybe it's probably a zero assessment. Easy. Is he is he on track to be just a pro in you like people talking about there. No.

I mean, it's it's it's hard to say on track to be a pro. He's a really, really, really good junior golfer. Yeah. Obviously getting an opportunity to go play it a very good school. And he's the one AJGA tournaments. You know, I mean, the AJGA is the PJ towards junior golf. And that's where the elite of the elite compete and play. And when an AJGA tournaments is a great sign. I mean, dominating them. Obviously he's a better sign. I mean, guys, you know, I do the corn fairy tour, you know, all year long. And you go through like every KFT players bio and they're like AJG play AJGA player the year, one five times in college, right?

I mean, all these guys were absolute studs and their respective areas of the world. But I mean, I think he's on a great trajectory to be a very good golfer.

I mean, to be a pro is another sign. And who knows what a pro means. You could play corn fairy tour golf mini tour. You could pop up and down to the PGA tour. But I definitely am very impressed with his ability to play considering the weight on his shoulders of his name.

And I think he's got a great kind of mindset about it. Like he even, you know, he finished last at the invitation, which is the biggest junior tournament in golf at Sage Valley.

And I love the posty road where he was congratulating his teammate on winning it, saying how pumped he was to get the invite. And obviously didn't play great. So I don't know. I mean, I'd love to see him play it. I mean, obviously, the weight of it is going to be heavy. But I love that he's kind of committed to this and he's going to go play college golf. And what's the deal with the the amateurs that can regain their amateur status? How does that work? Because I read about a couple of guys this year where like you can be a pro. And then you can say, psych, I'm not good enough to be a pro. So I'd rather just play as an amateur.

That guy's from Chicago. All right. So, so let me, let me say this. I need to preface this by saying this. I played pro golf now poorly, but I played mini tour golf for two or three years back in my, my 20s in Arizona.

I actually had to go through the process of getting my amateurs status back.

But they, the USDA has made it easier to get your status back. It's basically like a six month to a year process of asking for reinstatement and committing to play an amateur golf.

But if you look at the, like for instance, the USDA mid-AM, which if you win that event, you get an invite into the masters. That is a ton of players that were pro golfers that are now back to play an amateur golf. So it's a little, if he, if you will, I wish the process was a little bit longer. I wish it was a couple of years still to get your amateurs status back. But it is definitely making an amateur golf a lot more competitive, especially like the mid-AM golf life where you're playing wing foot and pine valley and

seminal and all these places that have these elite elite mid-AM golf tournaments.

What do you have to do to prove that you're, you're an amateur now? You have to be like, hey, I'm not as good as I thought that I was. Like you have to post scores that aren't that great.

I think it's more money earning. I think it's more like I'm not earning money now and I'm committing to not earning money going forward. I think that's a little bit more of, of that space and take in a time break between playing pro golf and then playing amateur golf. But like I said, that window is a lot shorter now than he used to be. Hey, there's a guy in the masters just here that won the mid-AM. That's like from Illinois. That's a real estate agent. He's like 40 years old. That's sick.

Oh, I saw this. He was kind of into some so good. Yeah. He doesn't eat great story.

The guy does not look like a golfer. Oh, I saw it. There's no thing about him. He's like, well, it looks like a guy's playing in the masters. He's like, yeah, I'm a real estate agent. Pulled my fist couple. Yeah, I put my clothes away for four months a year and like,

but I think it was a similar thing where he was a pro very a long time ago, didn't make any money.

And now he's just like a real estate agent. That's sick of golf. That's awesome. Yeah, what a brand-and-holds. Is this name I believe? Yeah, one, one, one, one, one, it's true, no, or a, a true crunch club. This past season in the mid-AM. Yeah, played college basketball. I believe. And then got into golf. And obviously that was kind of the

outlet for competitiveness, which I still find amazing that people can, like,

Steph Curry that's like a scratch golfer. And it shot, you know, under par in a professional event. I find the crossover stuff is something maybe we don't celebrate enough. Yeah. When guys are able to be relatively elite at something else, outside of what they grew up playing. Yeah. Okay, Shane, you're the best. We love having you on. Thank you. Also incredible job. Give it us those holes. Yeah. We really appreciate it.

And have a great master's week. And we look forward to talking to you for the rest of the major tournaments. So we'll, we'll talk to you in a month. Anytime, love your boys. Thanks, Shane.

You stop checking the time and suddenly small talk escalates to laughing so hard that you can barely catch your breath. That's the Quirvo effect. The signal everybody understands a moment that anyone can join

and a good time that just grows. All you have to do is keep it Quirvo. And now here's Max Homa.

Okay, we now welcome on a very, very, very, very special guest on a very, very, very special week. And he's our very good friend. It is Max Homa. Master's week. Max, we're pumped up. I'm sure you're pumped up. How are you feeling mentally ready to go? Are we going to, are we going to win this thing? We might win this thing. I say we shocked the world. The win the thing. I've been thinking a lot about it. I feel like I feel like not winning less fun than winning. Yeah. So I'm kind of just going

to go for it. Yeah. Yeah, you know what you should do. You should be like Michigan basketball shocked the world. I don't know if you saw that. Yeah, I saw shot. They shot. They shocked everybody.

Yeah.

And I wish utterly shocked. I'll show everybody believed it. It's amazing. The nine starters in that room.

They're all we got. I wonder if they'll still be talking about this in a decade when they're all first team all in B.A. Sandman. Remember when we shocked the world? I don't want to sound like a stalker or anything. But the master's now has a new feature on the app where you can watch somebody's range time. Does that feel like an invasion of privacy? Because I went and I found the balls that you hit and I could see every shot that you hit today. And I thought I felt dirty

doing that. Like like I shouldn't. I shouldn't know. There's some things that guys just shouldn't know about other guys. And to me like the range session seems sacrosyct. I don't know if you give any thought to that. It does little now that I know like now that we know that it happens. Because

they do it somewhere else as well. I think maybe the players. But you start to worry about

it about your spreads. Like if you just hit like one stinker. You're like oh that's going to look

like an outlier. Like the end of my practice today. My coach was having me like pick different targets. So like one was like very far left and one was very far right. And I was in the back of my mind I was thinking I was like some people could think I'm sucking pretty bad. Yeah we don't have access. Like it's the guys that try to like break down quarterback film on Twitter. But they don't know what the playbook is. There were there were a couple shots when you were hit your driver. There's

like those two channels you can hit into. Yes. You were going down the middle sometimes. I don't know if that was leaking right or if that was the target. It was absolutely that was the target. Okay maybe not all the time. That's a lie. Maybe not all the time. But we had like three yeah we went like right fairway middle fairway left fairway a lot. And then tried to hit in the left two bunkers a

few times. So I'm saying dude I can't promise you that the one you saw wasn't that wasn't a bad one.

But yes we're hitting all over the yard and now I am even more subconscious. You know something might seem off. It's just pf to it's just me it's probably literally just yeah. There's a lot of sick goes out there that I'm sure like I was doing it just for the novelty of it and I felt kind of dirty and I was like I I closed my phone like real fast and I put it across the room I was like it's it key. Yeah I don't want to do that again but it does it does feel like it's too much information

at times. We should spin it. It's like comforting like when when you think you're alone your friends with your boys are there. I wouldn't see me hit a bad shot you pour one out for me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's actually kind of nice. I will say there's some at my friends have and I guess you can like every time you upload a golf score they like share and I didn't know anything about this and my buddy Stephen was like telling me all about it and you know they share their scores

and he's like it's pretty creepy because you know every time someone golf's like Hank would have

four day. Yeah. And but it was great because he showed me our buddy I think it was Warner

played like whatever post is score and shot in the 90s or whatever so he didn't know how this was Steve and I just texted him hey dude you suck it golf. It was perfect. He's off against Stephen showed you my score. It's like that felt it key to me. I shouldn't have been privy to that information. It's like helping out your friends. It's like big brothers everywhere. The surveillance state has infiltrated the master's now. But it was honestly it was kind of interesting just to

see like the different shots that guys were hitting to warm up but it's cool. Yeah. Wait what is uh how's the course look? I know the weather's going to be beautiful this week. Does the course look any different to you? It is like no it doesn't look different. It's like it's pretty dry. It's one of those things a guess that likes to trick every like the players even in the like this false sense of hope. And with the weather I have a feeling that

tomorrow will be a little bounce here and then I think Thursday's going to be aggressively firm by the end of the day. They have a way of doing that and they've gotten like very good weather for it. So I have a feeling they're kind of like waiting waiting waiting and then you know we they close the course tomorrow afternoon, Wednesday afternoon around like two or three.

So nobody can see it really late. And I think that's when they start like suck in the water.

The crowd. Yeah. And it's going to be dry. I saw that like it's perfect weather for the next four days. What is that? What does that do like in terms of your approach? Because I'm an idiot. I don't really understand. Yeah. Like the is it higher shots? Is it like having knowing that like you hit the green and it might roll off like how do you approach that stuff? I think angle starts to matter way more when it's firm like that. Like um you look at holes like we're going to get

real nerdy. But you look at holes like two. If you have like a left pin on two, you and even if you can't get to the green you've got to go like way right. So then when you pitch it across the green you have a chance to stop the ball. Obviously high is going to help. I mean the reason like roaring and Scotty and Rama have played so well there is because they are you know really obviously great golfers. But they hit the ball really hard and high. So that helps it stop. But I also just

think in general with the lack of wind because the last year has been super windy. The lack of wind I think will make it. You'll see like a good like a spread of like who's playing really well

Who's playing not well.

when it's really hard because like nobody can play it well. So it's just really difficult.

Yeah. But when it's playing with like kind of the wind down, really good shots get rewarded way more. But with how firm it is they better be really fucking good shots. So I think you'd see like a lot of great iron players play well this week. Just given how it's going to be a bit like target practice in a way. But like it's got to be really really sharp target practice. Right. So we we've had to have a new on before the masters for I think since 2021 when I

want to ask the kind of mean question what I was like can you win it? Yeah. I wait for it every year. But this is let me land the plane here. That year you you didn't make the cut. Then you finished 48 then you finished 43rd. I mean you like people don't give you enough credit. You finished 3rd at the master and last year you finished 12th. Like does it feel like you have at least figured out the course a little bit because this feels like everything I've read

about the masters. It's like you have to play it a few times before you can actually get good at it.

And if you look at your career at the masters, it feels like you have gotten to a point where you feel comfortable on this course and you're putting up really good scores and competing for first. Yeah. I will say that my third was awesome. But last year I was playing like dog nuts coming into it and I played awful here. But I like it definitely to answer your question. Think I like learn where to leave it and learn certain golf shots they could take on and certain that I wasn't going

to if I wasn't playing well. So last year's 12th was like significantly more shocking than the year for 3rd. So I do think that you figured out a little bit. It's the one of the most amazing golf course you've ever played. But it is goofy. Like it's it's got like some crazy golf shots that you

never hit in your life. So I do think that like getting some familiarity with it is good. But at the end of

the day like I said when you're hitting those second shots into the greens like you've just got to hit them good. So you could make all this think you want about how you got to know it and be comfortable in this and that. But there's just certain golf shots that you just got to execute on. It's hard to shit. But I do think that getting more comfy being here is helpful because it's an intimidating place. Yeah. Why should we walk around and green jackets that you know have billions of dollars.

Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's just wise a wild spot. Yeah. And do you you have more comfort. I would assume this is the answer. But you have more confidence going into this year knowing like last year like you said like you you were coming in a mess and you were able to fight your way through it.

And you fought your way through the whole year and like I think everyone admires the hell out of it

because you were very open about it. Like I don't know where my golf game is right now. And it feels like you're on the other end of that where it's it does it feel like you have more confidence because you went through all that. Yeah. I think if you can blend like a bit of the strategy of when you're playing shitty that you can make something still work plus playing a lot better. If you can marry those two because I think sometimes I've talked to certain athletes about

this like when they have a warm up that's just like otherworldly. They're like some a lot of those games they say they play like shit because they're like almost like overly confident so they take on everything. And they say that a lot of the times they're bad warmups you know like in basketball they'll get to their spot and like be way more specific about what shots they're going to shoot and like ease their way into it. So I think when you blend those two it worked really well. So I do think that

no one last year I played awful but could still make a score could help this year when I won't play nearly as awful but if I can keep those two minds like in the same brain it could be good yeah. But I definitely I mean I think this golf course also just like very much suits what I do well and and is honestly pretty nice to me on the stuff I'm not so good at. So that part definitely gives me some confidence. I mean you still gotta go out there and fucking do it you know you play in a lot of

really good players but I definitely think for four days I could get I could get warm and give myself a chance. Have you ever been in the zone at Augusta? In the zone. Yeah I think the year I got

third there was a bit there on Friday where it just felt like I pulled the club back I was going to

hit it pretty close and if I pulled my putter back it's going to go in for a little bit there so that was quite fun. Golf has a funny way of just smacking you right in face about that because I came out Saturday it was a pretty good round to be honest but I made no birdie 17 bars in a bogey. Right when I thought I figured out the game kind of caught up to me a little bit but yeah you do not take for granted those moments here in the zone it's the greatest feeling in the world. The searching

golf when you typically just make bad swing after bad swing or lip out of putter whatever so it feels nice when the whole feels like a bucket. Yeah I honestly think I would cry if you were

in the masters. I think that's how emotional I would be. Yeah it would be what it's also over here and

it will just go all cry. Well a bit crying yeah yeah it would be like Danny really just motion ready to get it. Yeah yeah maybe you have to fly down there and like streak on the of course. Yeah if you if you win the master I might I might get a private jet down to Augusta.

Oh I think it's down there you guys just need you down there.

Are they going to instead you're going to get a max home of masters champ tattoo because I might do that. I probably did that. Yeah I might get a green jacket just tattooed on my body. Same dude. Yeah I'll be no limit of the dumb shit I would do. I was looking at I was I was

look at the holes because that's what you do once you hit the floor. Probably the vagina.

But I'm really needed Zach here because I've been playing in that question for a month. Zach's not on the booth is. No no he's still getting me golf though. We got guys qualifying for or Augusta. The middle. It is actually Hank's Augusta. The middle golf tournament this week at Barstoy HQ. That's a little tease. We'll get Zach once he gets in the booth. You can try to get down on that. He's just somehow says mouth and be so happy. Yeah so

so I was looking at the 12th because that's what you do when you turn 40 you get really into like the the mowing report and then you get into the obviously the the whole placement from above and then you just like do the flybines of all the holes and you visualize them. And I was looking at the 12th hole and that's that seems like it's the ultimate people think this hole over way too much. They think too hard. I agree.

And like have you have you changed how you approached that hole at all or is it like you know going into the weekend? Here's the shot I'm going to hit. No matter like you know where the pin's

going to be. Here's what I'm going to do Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday.

I've changed how I think about that backright pin which is the Sunday pin because the

year I had a chance I made a really good part on 11 and Scottie missed the green and he was going I think I he had a so-so chip and I knew he was probably going to make bogey so I think I was going to be one back going after after I teed off on 12th and I did the thing that you you know you hear about you know aim over the middle of the left center that front bunker when you're being safe and you just hit it in the middle of the green or whatever and I hit this nine iron and I'll never

forget it right as I hit it it was just like one of those were I said oh man I did it like I was nervous it was the shot you've seen a million times on TV not go well I was like oh I fucking did it and you just hear this brown from the crowd and it flew a little too far hit the hill jumped up into the ivy and I made double bogey yeah last year I got to the same pin I like to cut the ball so backright pins good for me I got to that hole I was I needed to get top 12 to get back in this week

and I just remember I was like what am I so afraid of like if anything fits me it's this so I was like just aim a couple steps left of it and hit the fucking nine iron and I did it and I hit

it to you know 12 or so feet and I was like that's how I'm playing this backright pin and I

less I got a five shot lead I'm playing it like that because it was not it didn't it it's like you're sometimes too passive and I understand why people do it but at that point in time it was just like let's play the game yeah do you know do we have the pairing ship do you know who you're preparing yeah I'm playing with someone I don't know from a I did okay I'll move I'll move your car and are there here all right tell Pete I'm talking to Big Cat and PFT my friend Pete is

coming in right now and he's the one who got me hooked on your guys podcast I was up he has to go pee hell yeah you're playing with I also block my wife with my car I did get the babies good about that yeah yeah you're playing with Nayuki Katataoka and Carlos Ortiz yeah Carlos Carlos plays on live we I miss him so much Carlos little Carlito he is my guy I miss him we had key school together

our first year man so it'll be fun he is he's the best dude he's just like he's like a bubbly person

he's kind of nice to hang out with it for a while are do you like playing a morning Thursday afternoon Friday I feel like that would be better because then Friday you kind of know where you stand you're like hey here's where the cuts gonna be I can go attack it I've danced back and forth hey we're not thinking while the cut is your big cat we're not jack or bus yes you're right and we're fucking jack and her bus we're Sunday party I was going baby steps I was like

you know moving day yeah yeah yeah but no I dance back and forth I think this week will be good to be early late plus the fact that my late's really not very late they gave me a two very middle t times so I think it'll be good typically late the second day is harder it a major because

they make the course like slowly firm up so morning the second day's usually better but

both t times are actually pretty solid so I do I like getting off early and like playing well in the morning typically and then you get to just like enjoy yourself for you know 15 hours instead of sometimes you play well sometimes you play like shit in the afternoon and then just like straight to bed and straight up and you're just like I'm not even I'm still not in a good mood right times it's like this is around can be good yeah yeah yeah so after you play if you play early in the morning

on Thursday what do you do for the rest of the day oh well this week helps I have all my friends here

I'll go work out after and then probably practice a little bit and then we co...

play married people games oh that's perfect yeah it's good yeah you're you're you're you're 10 o'clock

on Friday you're good yeah oh yeah it's not bad 11 o'clock oh yeah 11 o'clock I'm about your time yeah

it's central time right now what about like on course meals what are you having for breakfast on Thursday morning I'm a on-let guy on-let potatoes bacon and then on the course I don't do a

good job eating on the course but I'm sure today it sounds amazing I do love and I'm

crossable yeah they're hard to beat hey Pete hey we yeah sorry what's up dude big cat says what's up do buy any chance big cat if there's anybody in the world that would know this name Long Beach state 2013 makes March madness Casper wears on the team who also on team James and there's a white dude my height name Peter Papa George do buy any chance know that him because stucky does any hates him oh no I was missed stucky on Saturday that's hilarious

missed stucky on Saturday yeah at the final he wants to eat it he goes you ever see a just a punchable face that's Peter Papa George really dude I love those teams because they would have the

the the Jersey just said the beach on them you're the beach yeah yeah it's the greatest yeah it's

the best yeah okay so he hoops all right wait so when you're playing these married people's games are are people taking it easy on you oh no god no uh yeah you've had to start swat thank you that's a good friend yeah we got to let Max win this like we're going to live right there caught constant swapping we start swapping like partners because everyone gets to mad at each other yeah yeah I didn't really I almost said just wise but then I realized that sounded bad and even when I said partner part of

you know so yeah you get to be get the upside down pie now you can swap and pineapple you crack the grass so little bit yeah don't do that Max kid do what we are you just said in the

rot of the show oh this is good I'm having fun oh man I'm just excited to watch you have you

have you hung out with any of the fellas there like who are the guys that you look to to hang out with when you get to a gust every year just an in Jordan I play fractional with I play fractional Monday won't play in part three tomorrow together don't win that and then uh no I know you're not supposed to win that by son puts for me so I'm immediately disqualified so that's nice what you don't think that your son can do it no they just disqualified

this is not me but you know also he can't he is liable for about a 42 put he's also obsessed with people in the water yes me every single if I'm gonna hit in the water or the other person hit in the water so no I won't win that at all and then yeah so so the curse will will not be on me

I think now we efficient chance yeah all right yeah I love it also I was reading about Augusta

today are you familiar with the the 19th hole are you yeah dead sir it doesn't actually exist there's no way they really haven't 19th there they they were going to build one when they built the golf course and it was gonna it was gonna be like a 90 yard par three that was in between I want to say the 9th hole and the 18th hole yeah that makes sense and they it was during the great depression so they ran out of money and they didn't build it and they kept saying we're gonna build it once we

get our paper right and then uh it became like so much of an institution that when they got their money and the economy was doing fine they were like yeah you know what I don't think that a gust of needs and the table was too right yeah it was too good yeah and I'm like you know I'm just gonna pocket this it would have absolutely killed the vibe of a gust of yeah honestly really would not have been a good idea yeah but just look at it next time you walk vibe you're like oh yeah that's where

the that's the 9th hole Zach that because I feel like if you say I asked my question he's just gonna cop out and say the 19th oh yeah yeah definitely um do you do you ever eat the food at a gust of like that you know that's the thing that I'm sorry I'm not a big cheese guy so I skip that my friend Josh last year who you guys made famous because he's the one who wanted to bring his Xbox to the house yeah he said a hundred people came up to him were like are you you know are

you maxed from the one that wanted to bring the video games like you're an idiot he's I think he

went through like 50 him and Jesus last year and wondered why it's stomach hurt for like a month I love them that this guy wrote that the tournament's over over stock to him and cheese because he's not here this year oh no yeah they they like did all their calculations and the other like you have all these extra 100 extra what happened I'm gonna sniff it have you tried the candy bar yet no how do you know what the show I don't even know what that is Shane Bacon was on the show

Told us about that yeah he wouldn't know yeah he's gotten to go around like t...

more than I do a new menu item this this year I think you're gonna go try it but candy bar yeah candy bar dark chocolate crispy rice just magic apparently it's just candy ice they just named it a candy bar it's pretty sick yeah I'm gonna shot it looks I know the people love the Pemento cheese I kind of wish I'd like like cheese to give it like a taste test but we you don't like cheese oh I know what I was gonna ask you are you are you are you two 10 I think I am yeah I'm I need to cool it

I think you are two my head we were watching you the other day on the on the white on on the whatever tournament what was it last week we were in last year yeah yeah yeah and you came across the screen I was like I think Max is two 10 it's just I got it and he goes I could hear him talking to whoever is with he goes man he's got a nice base I need to stay inside for a little while I need to play better so I can get three months off of the end of the year and I just won't go outside

for a month yeah save the skin yeah dude Arizona you guys we're just there dude it's just the size closer to me it's crazy yeah it gets nuts do you have the do you have the sock tan probably not cause you were a pants a lot no I have a nasty sock tan it's off I got it it's all bad dude it's terrible and it doesn't help I got the darkest and harriest arms so it makes it look even darker it's bad it's terrible yeah all right so so what is the goal do you have a number in mind for Thursday

I think I think some in the sixties would be great so I'm saying I'm taking I think I mean dream world you're looking like like mid to low sixties but I think ideally I would love to start with something with the six okay that's okay we can do that yeah we can absolutely even this podcast going 69 would be great yeah we could definitely do that yeah you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna do a

lottery ball right now and that's what you're gonna score do you agree to this I would love that yeah

okay this is a run just shaking no I don't think anybody's ever shot their lottery ball it's never happened if we get like a nice like six hug I think it's not a 99 it's something yeah yeah yeah match we got like 64 but I'm not nervous if it's a 59 I'm winning oh Max you said you have the early tea time on Thursday what's your protocol for how many alarms you

said I usually said to I've never really needed the second one but I get real anal I can't

for the match of my three yeah I would be nervous about that yeah it's the one thing I just can't have happen I've had nightmares about that we could have Zach called you if you needed to yeah that she would be why you miss you yes it's basically Zach it's most they don't go with them bottom of our own another number yeah that one knows the practice what was it what was practice round two yeah yeah it's a practice so don't go back and let's

practice that was the practice you always got to you one practice everyone everybody yeah yeah yeah that's right we're not doing the lottery ball uh broke the machine broke yep we're not doing the lottery what what number did start with uh the first one was a seven the second wasn't eight and why I'll take it out scared

it was a nine oh yeah it's always super hard it was actually I think I read it wrong it was a 57

that's what it was we can't leave it coming back from a 75 yeah yeah we have a 57 I don't think

a 75 kills you yeah it doesn't kill me I'm still in the fight yeah it's a 57 that's fine that's what that's what if you put up a 57 I could do a magic and you might just have to fly down 30 57 would oh my god yeah if you broke something think I might be too back in too much yeah is that a thing like if you if you shoot like the round of your life in a tournament is it super rare to follow it up with another good round yeah okay so that gets talked about a lot

and like the golf thing it's like they always say you know these like stuffy you know golf come tears you know it's so hard to back up a really good round with a really good round and I always think I mean like yeah sure like statistically but also it's just you had a really good round of course it's hard to do that again like right that's why it's considered really good it's like if somebody scores you know 50 points in a in a football game the next week they

don't it's a god they just can't seem to keep it together it's like no that was why we're so

enamored by the 50 points they gave a force it's really fucking good yeah so yeah that's why

I will say that the the hardest thing I've done when a golf tournament is in college but I shot

a really low round the first day and we had three more and everyone's like congratulating you after

the round like you want and you're like this is just be way worse if I lose now so can I just like he leave me alone and wait till you know Sunday so that it gets kind of hard but it's so uncommon for somebody to win wire to wire and golf so not to say I wouldn't take a 57 I don't want

To put that out there I'll absolutely try to win wire to wire at 57 yeah let'...

it's like an answer getting mad at at BAM at a bio from not scoring 84 points the next time yeah

yeah it's a way you can get back it up with him on you out celebrating one yeah one hit one

nude Zack in the booth for the live show yeah Zack no phones we just sitting naked hmm nude Zack in the booth full nude guys being nude christ in the booth yeah full nude yeah you don't want that you guys don't want no I don't know we can't see it

because you're the angle we're at we're not seeing I think about people at home we'll see everything

Sabrina would see everything oh my god think about that so we're going to put a disclaimer at the top of this okay okay hey PMT what was the biggest disagreement off air you guys have forgotten to and how is it resolved ps let Hank exist by the book but it was the tips bit probably the tips back the mystery tips bit the tips that we get to know who had that tips bit it's one of those unknowable riddles yeah we're on the air so much that like not that there's

on them any disagreements that happen often right you know what I actually think kind of just has be happened on air as all like if you've heard it they happen on air they bleed off air and then yeah I think what what resolve on typically what happened would be like if we start to get into it there's somebody that shows up with a camera yeah if they hear an argument and then it becomes

something that exists in content correct and then it kind of it honestly kind of helps that way

yeah and it's all it's always like uh I think the one thing that saves us is that everything's

always like with a veil of we're just fucking around so it's like oh is this serious now we're just fucking around it's it's kind of mental torture for all yeah it's a lot of it's like the worst it gets is just like serious passive aggression yeah it's just mental torture yeah constantly yeah that was on air yeah yeah I was uh how much time like legitimate planning goes into what you guys talk about with each show and all all of you collaborating on this at once I love how

seemingly off topic you guys can get with breaking moves or promoting Johnny Fanta as the next era for UNC long time list of the show thank you for all giving me some joy and laughter even on the slowest of days ping-bong hanky and go birds max love that yeah we've got um we've got a Google doc that we use and we start prepping at about 630 every morning and uh Zach does like the topics that we want to get into so if we want to get on like a ten-minute discussion about

If you can dunk a free throw he'll write that in there we'll bounce back and ...

little bit of improv then we'll pretend there's the the um rehearsal yeah we do table

we do we do we do a two-hour rehearsal before every show and then we have our stand-in today they come in they get the lighting so we do like one run through of the show with our stand-ins so we can get everything just right on camera and um yeah then we kind of come out at about eleven a.m. and it usually takes about three takes through the show and we stitch together the final product you can only the best things it's like that's an old the minute we finish a show we have to start

prepping for the next one mm-hmm no we'll sit down for my chin yeah literally don't you

did that idiot jazz doesn't come from scripts I think all of us we we know what we're

going to talk about because we know what's happening in the sports calendar we all kind of know

the same um sports topics that are going to be interesting for all of it and then just sit down

like do whatever your hot seat cool throw is going to be yeah piftie give me homework last week what was a homework that I had to read the full the full jail in her it's her it's article oh did you make it no you didn't do it no did you get blocked Jeremy Fowler now really I'm thanks I said another one no I already did I get another fuck you why do you know fuck you again buddy I already I already did it is that and it got what yeah I'm I'm just kidding you do your homework

from a couple weeks ago we talking about taking notes on the same article and no when um that was one assignment we turned laser tag no when uh when Trump put out the executive order for how to solve college sports because we didn't pay any attention to what that was going to be when Trump put out the executive yeah he did an executive order for fixing college sports I mean we can push that we can push that all but that would be postmasters don't stress out

don't you get a focus on golf this week don't stress that I don't think he fixed it because any

isn't everybody staying so that the transport will broke basketball I think I think he fixed everything

I think it's all a game maybe I think it's all damn 21 retreats on the get fucked

that was also that was that was that was basically a private message also the four bookmarks

who's coming back to that walk people could use that yeah yeah that is a bond he probably yeah Jeremy Fowler might have booked marked it all right last one I got a question for PFT and Big Cat which of these do you guys enjoy more a prime hank show of passive aggressiveness and snarky comments or an all-time max crash out oh man they'll make me choose yeah choosing your favorite children I mean it's the best when it happens at the same time yeah true and that it's the best

once a year we get that well no it's the best when it when you get when we could just kind of sit back and you get passive aggressive snarky hank about Philadelphia and then mad max at hank yeah that's my personal favorite when he just like take the wheel and they're just they're going back and forth to each other and they just it max just like shut the fuck up all you do sit on the fucking couch and he's wearing the big the heater jacket yeah and he got that shitty thing grin on

your head oh nobody's had more of a shit eating grin than hank does when when he gets to relish and max is misery I'm not sure I'm not sure I'm not sure I'm not sure oh man they were at the six now they're back we need it's a seven we need the raptors to win yeah there's a lot of basketball it's a tentative seven it's a tentative seven because they have more games played than the raptors raptors got a win tonight okay they got a win raptors have to win three out of four

I don't think the six are gonna be the rockets which would put them at the seven that will put the six are absolutely right yeah we can't we can't just say we don't think that they're going to be

the rocket and then we play two tanks yeah but then you need to but then you need then we also need

so go rockets go raptors why because rockets beat sixers then the raptors have to win three out of four and then to go to six and that gives us what that gives us six seems so terrified of the sixers but then the sixers then the sixers 15 and oh gets the raptors after trading OGA and no be out rather play the raptors and then the sixers though need to win the plant if if they're in the seven they have to win the play and correct the only problem is I was

looking at the schedule then the sixers in the Celtics would have to go seven games for it to happen on your bachelor party there's just no change that you would sign up for that no that you would sign up for that you would sign up for that you would sign up for that for a chance to win yeah chance to win game set yeah because we all know I wait the next and think about you have strength in numbers your brothers would be there yeah oh you got a lot of potteness and

Jerry and Jerry yeah big dumb and maybe big dumb yeah max this you have nothing to lose like

Nobody expects the sixers to do anything no games game seven would be sick di...

step-back three that two will be took yeah what you see it the one where it took like six steps

that's just that's just the NBA you don't know ball okay that's all right have you seen this

yeah the one where you hop the three in Wemby's eye yeah yeah yeah yeah you see this it's very funny I love the NBA this is this is a bad take this you're gonna this is a this is a this is a non ball nowhere to here wait so me that that was that was that just backfired so hard in your face I was an awesome play for from joy it's a great shot you know yeah for writing Wemby's eye so we could

have sixers nicks is the other alternative very possible be great be great that that might not be great

why because memes would just memes to go to a dark place with with yeah yeah yeah that would be great

very beat up three games left I'm just excited for the bachelor party yes he games love season

in Sunday season in Sunday damn wait and then the last one yeah oh the playing game is yeah then that week yeah they've really got this sports schedule down great we just go masters into playoffs they fucking nailed it they really did all right numbers two two three seventy eight fifty six eight
