Court Kings & Green Jacket Dreams: Spring Sports Are Back

00:00:00 notes because pier's being a dick and we're using my phone as a webcam so it's all good yeah and i'm not in front of my i'm not in front of my post so but yeah it's all right man so you're going to be in charge of the of the researching the numbers how's that sound you know how how that goes man you know how it's right up my alley right yeah i mean you are the sports junkie so you got to be the data bitch too fucking junkie bro it's ridiculous yeah i mean you've been jones it's been what two weeks

00:00:31 yeah man so it's been two weeks since we last recorded yeah since right before what the sweet 16 yeah so uh first of all welcome back to enzone or strike it's this baseball season baseball yeah we got to lead off of strike zones strike zones and end zones we are back we are back after our oneyear anniversary 365 days yes that was crazy of uh more sports i've ever talked in my 38 years of life i have not talked this many sports that's what i'm here for that's what i'm here to provide man yeah and also happy unicorn day i did not

00:01:01 know that until he walked in i did not realize that too but that says a lot about me that i know the unicorn day and trey knows all the sports for sure i mean hey i try my best to to to stay up to date on those sort of things so yeah and then also uh strikes of the endzone podcast if it looks like it's a little bit more polished cuz we uh start studios listen everything is forever evolving um we're always looking to kind of do some improvements no matter what and where uh so hey that's that hey on a

00:01:28 shoestring budget that's the best you can do you know what i mean that's all you can do yeah so so yeah i mean we want we're trying to up the game that's all you can do bro so you two you're welcome that's all you can do hey man shout out to the florida gator for winning the yeah what is it called the championship yeah the championship of course man gator chomp yeah so that was a big one that duke duke lost duke fumbled it man yeah that was that was supposed to be the big outset i mean houston just as much as they you know

00:01:55 they went and took it duke did partially fumble it i think the both two things can be true a lot of times people make you pick one or the other i think i mean because listen there's been plenty of times in the world where a team has played like duke started to fumble it down the stretch and the other team didn't take advantage so you got to give credit where credit is due and noted as both sides and i i do think houston did a good job of going and taking it just like duke fumbled it um but sometimes

00:02:19 like i said some teams don't even pick up that baton drops yeah i mean houston's its own world i mean living in everest is like texas is its own world oh yeah houston man as every every true crime i watch or crazy arrest or something houston hey whatever you guys are doing down there whatever fuck your ncaa it was dallas for a while so first 48 did start in dallas actually it did that's right yeah and it's it's always funny that you know vick's always like ut southwester is on harry hines oh and

00:02:50 but every time i hear harry hines like they're up her you go you keep going up harry and you gonna see some shit that you don't want to see so so yeah at work there there was a promo clip i was doing and there was labeled bath house and they didn't they could not believe that there was these massage parlors i'm like bitch you are right off northwest highway and you are two miles from harry hind you are in the middle of it you can't tell by the gold club or whatever the men's all the strip clubs that we

00:03:17 passed you think like those condom sense and massage parlors are there for in the middle of it you're in the middle of you're in the thick of it so that's from what i understand well i mean i've driven down harry hines my time a time or two of my life just every day we were i haven't done it every day but or at least well i was one point where it was every day but it was in this it wasn't as far north as you would need it to be i'm really just web chapel to northwest highways which is like a quarter mile

00:03:44 but you know anyway so uh the chompers man so that was supposedly the highest watched 18 million people on a monday well that's the thing too bro is that i told zo when we were uh doing our anniversary stuff we were watching before dinner oh happy anniversary i appreciate that yeah zoe you're still a myth to me i haven't met you yet 36 almost anyway we'll we'll organize it she's busy working right now no no she i saw she's arrested right now cal woman man going crazy that's superstar apartment locator so for any of y'all

00:04:16 out there that need an apartment i can plug you as my girlfriend and she is the best apartment locator dallas has to offer so and we will add the link in the description indeed we will say that we can we can do that and say that yes um so yeah no i mean we was watching the game and whatnot well actually before before the florida and auburn games started bro yeah i shit you not i looked at zo and i said these two games are going to be instant classics i just it was just because i mean you get all one

00:04:47 seeds to the final four you get chocked pretty much the whole way right and then you end up getting all the one seeds and you're just like "okay at some point since there was no major upsets like that at some point something's got to get crazy." and i was like "this is setting up for this." yeah up to the final four like cuz remember i did the data bitch bracket it got pretty damn close some of people were picking duke oh you can't yeah no no that's but duke wasn't a bad pick i i picked duke myself

00:05:12 in a couple in in two of my brackets i picked or no one of my brackets i picked i actually picked st john's in two and i picked houston and florida in the other one so i only made five brackets what are they saying like out of all ncaa's that this was like the first time like the top players like teams and you would oh yeah like going like expecting all one seat like cuz a lot of times people tough you just never can expect all one seeds to that's just not statistically for that to and before this year the

00:05:38 last time that happened was 08 so that just gives you kind of that gap to let you know how you know rare it is for that to happen right and it's been going on for how long time has been around for years yeah so i mean and it's it's also it's where i realize that college basketball is its own beast like the last two minutes is really the bulk of the game dude everybody's a timeout well because you got all these 18 to i guess now you can say even 26 27 year olds right before you know it was 18 to 23 24

00:06:05 if that but you got all these still young guy i mean you know the and these are these are guys that are mostly going to go pro in something other than sports you know so the skill level is just not there now compared to other college teams obviously it's there but when it comes to you know obviously you compare them to this team full of i wouldn't even say nba players a team full of g-league players bro like these the what's the minimum height requirement to basically be in the nba well there's no

00:06:31 minimum minimum but but the average height right now went up from 67 to 6'8 i mean fuck the fact that it's gone up is is crazy bro yeah it's something in the water so yeah i mean i like yeah that's it was a big deal growing up it was like if you were 6 foot you were a monster well yeah i remember at one point bro it was like 66 was the average when i was like when i was like 10 he was yeah y'all was what seven he was and that was ridiculous yeah i i remember i was a kid bro i remember when we first

00:07:06 looked it up i want to say i was like 11 12 13 somewhere in there bro and i remember it was about 66 cuz i remember one of my friends his older brother was 67 okay we were comparing we like "oh shit matthew you know you you you're you know you could be in the nba or whatever you know." so so was shaq was what 68 no shaq no that's 72 yeah my wife said 68 shaq 72 so that was like in the early 90s when he was on the magic with penny and no diggity damn i mean it's one penny i had some pennies you i had the i

00:07:36 had since in the 90s like my brother and i we had the jordans we had the jason kids the horus grants the penny hardway man i miss my pennies right yeah them material work too i remember when i started hooping in them hoes like i remember i wore them as every like just like some casual shoes and i remember i needed some hooping shoes for a tournament and i was like well these aren't hooping shoes and so i hooped them and then remember when i first broke one of the little things on i remember i can't wear them no more right

00:08:03 now so i mean i'm rocking reebok right now but remember guys we bought a couple js on yeah i got i remember having the pumps and i was talking about a downfall man the pumps were the shit i wonder what they really do they just tightened the the ankle is that i wasn't a big reebok guy so i didn't really he just wanted the it just wanted the excuse to i never yeah i never dave chappelle well also wait when did those come out early 90s cuz dave chappelle rocked robin men's tights i time out honkies time for

00:08:32 me to pump up yeah see i i only wore out growing up i wore like kswiss jordans nike obviously some i mean i had some of the but like i never really wore like too much reebok cuz i just no no only well only because well only reebok i think i feel like i wore was like allan iverson but i didn't wear like the like cuz like when sean kent wear reebok and like um what yeah like cuz i think i'm pretty sure he oh the kamicazi yeah yeah you remember the reb the kamicazi and shit yeah so i was too well i was too

00:09:00 young to wear those so i was more so like allan iverson like any reebok i wore yeah yeah but i i really wore them either i just i saw these but like for me growing up in like my teen years it was all the 2000 skate shoes like the cyrus and the dc somebody brought up osiris the other day bro on twitter and my homie sent and it was like a joke and i forgot all about those i didn't have nothing but i had i had steve harris cuz it was like you had you had to have in my punk pop punk style you had to have a pair of converse

00:09:30 pair of vans and you had to have a skate it was dc osiris those fat fucking shoes dc i remember dc too and i had i actually i had uh i had some vans and some converse now see those ones i could fuck with as because they're classic style they just came i could just never wear the like the actual like dc skate shoes the big tongues just could not get me bro it got those served a purpose like you know tongues bro i can't do them either but my my buy for my birthday i'm buying those uh uh corn edition adidas college ones 2000 yeah

00:10:02 i'm really excited about also remember when i told you not tell you was it oh no slipnot don't they have a remember don't they have a a whiskey or wine yeah yeah they do slipnot yeah cuz they're from iowa right yeah which was talking about that yeah which is crazy is that cy taylor's sober yeah it was nuts but yeah k i i fucking love corn so when they had those they're selling their jumpsuits the adidas full jumpsuits too bro i saw that you actually the red with the black and the host or the i actually

00:10:32 saw that uh i was following this account this kicks account and they was talking about that like probably about a year like before the collaboration was public and it was like saying this leap like corn elite collab and i was like hold on what like there was a bunch of people in the comments like hold on like wait that's kind of hot bro like you didn't know what the exact davis yeah so he was just like wait what the fuck to my buddy bryson who's the shoe guy uh if you i'm going to call you in next week cuz you

00:10:59 need to talk we need to talk shoe shop he's the guy with over 700 picks oh see i need to get rock nearly that many oh dude oh you one of them people see yeah you need to we got to have a discussion so i made a living where we both work together right it was it was decent but he also is an electrician with his dad so he's got i'm like "why do you work here if you" he goes "i got to pay for my sneaker prediction." and so he showed me a picture and he goes "this isn't even all of them." and it was it i it

00:11:28 looked like foot locker like bukkakeied all over his closet like i like it was impressive it was actually they were all nicely laid it was it was cool so shout out to bryson anyway so back to ncaa back to sports sorry tangent no we got to go off a little bit um i mean yeah no just shout out to to florida i mean that was that was a that game was i mean houston was in control there obviously and then next thing you know florida just kept you know chopping wood chopping wood you know uh houston's defensive strategy kind of the same way

00:11:58 they did or defended cougar flag of kind of making him into more of a playmaker than a scorer and not letting him affect the game in multiple ways right uh it didn't come back to bite him against duke but against florida it did man you let them hang around a little bit and get some confidence and keep staying in the game and walter clayton i mean great player i mean first team all-american i mean you you tell me he's one of the top five players in the country i mean shit it proved me about to say you know what

00:12:24 i mean it doesn't surprise me at the end of the game that he was able to help get them over the top so shout out to them man and and you know we we got another season coming up in november and i think that's you're already at the air man we at some point now man that's when you get your fix back yeah you got the portal moves texas got new coach sean miller obviously uh fired rodney terry man it was it was a great run for rodney so appreciate him for everything he did for the university and everything and's

00:12:49 coach man got poached by west virginia as as has been the case the past two coaches man getting poached by bigger universities but hey you know the state of college sports has a lot of people you know on both sides of the fence and whatnot and i can understand that i get that uh isn't there some big settlement yes house settlement about the revenue sharing and eventually they're going to it's going to be a cba become so so that what's the back pay on that i i don't know oh so but that goes they're trying

00:13:19 well they're trying to figure that out because the judge she her thing is so the backay for the people in the past is one thing but she's saying some of this stuff is going to be retroactive for the future and she doesn't want a fucking sixth or seventh grader right now being wrapped up in this sort of stuff true that's the biggest hold up is she's like "look all the stuff from previous those people had to wait their turn they obviously didn't get to experience this boom boom boom whatever we'll figure

00:13:48 that out." but for but for yeah but for this to go forward and roll over to other people that are you know in in middle school right now she's just like "that just doesn't seem got to have a ethical." yeah you know that's just not ethical you got to be you got to be in college we need a cut off here so i think it's pretty easy say when you're accepted to college and then you can start that time right and then the other hold up was the um they plan on upping the scholarship limit from 85 to 100 and

00:14:16 i mean what is that five i think so well that'll get you through a semester well no it's not that for like for football though for i mean that's an extra i mean you get an extra 20 scholarships that you don't have to give to walk-ons right so you can actually take those cuz you get regular walk-ons which are people that try out during like open triyouts at once school starts but you have preferred walk-ons that are that are treated kind of like recruits don't get full scholarship or anything like that

00:14:41 but they're still you know they're still well they're still just higher on the pegging order when it comes to potentially maybe getting a scholarship being on the practice squad that sort of thing uh and so you got that going and so they're trying to figure out also like they don't want to the the scholarship thing to just be an all at once like all right we're going to cast away all these you know these walk-ons and stuff like you can still have your preferred walk-ons but we're just going to cast away all these other people not

00:15:06 pretty much not even hold the trials there's no point and then cuz there's going to be a limit in terms of how many people you can have on the team period whereas it wasn't 85 you can have 85 people on scholarship but i think you could have around 110 on the team total meaning you have the other what is that 30 40 people that were preferred walk- on walk you know so that number is going to be cut down a lot more and then now you're going to be able to bring in more guys who maybe like recruiting ranks

00:15:34 always matter but you're going to be able to bring in more lower level three star you know guys you aren't as highly recruited but you see a guy that's i don't know 66 300 lb and yeah and you're just like honestly we'll give him a scholarship we can we'll give him a scholarship see what we can get out of him he's a natural athlete see what we can get out of him to me like everything i've watched like about cole or watching smu scam like everything that you know we're like college players who the mob gets in and

00:16:00 they pay them off and all that it seems to be that and i could be completely wrong but it seems to be the general themes were that they couldn't get a fucking meal you know cuz that was illegal yeah so to do away with that makes sense and it seems to be not as much as the monetary at the moment but their likeness ea sports is making a billion dollars off of it they don't get to see a dime of it right or the co so it seems to be like give me the rights to my name and give me a cut of that that's so it it

00:16:32 kind of seems like okay one isn't $1 billion or whatever the something billions of dollars yeah so but that goes quick yeah especially if you're going retro with it so i feel like if they establish like you get your royalties just like a musician or whatever again i could be oversimplifying it there's a lot more nuance no you're not because in the guy wants to buy you dinner cool right at its core was supposed to be you're the fucking ceo of beats headphones and i'm an athlete and you come to me and

00:17:03 you say "hey i want to offer you this nio deal for however many weeks of you appearing in these commercials at these you know doing all this stuff." that was what it was meant to be and i can use your nam image like this now if you were like like with ea sports in the college football video game what they did was the other half of that which was okay you're gonna i'm gonna you know you can sign up to be put in this game like because back in the day before this it was like we're on the team but it says

00:17:29 number 21 you're number 22 like it doesn't have your name underneath there it's but it's still you cuz that when you go look up and down the roster for whatever school you see number 21 name blah blah blah blah and then you take all that other stuff out and you have to put it it's like oh it's some other 62 white goats measure you know what i mean exact measurements and you're just like so that's that one half and then the other half of like i said you got a company that comes to you and wants to

00:17:53 do a deal with you and says "hey we'll give you this." fair game yeah and that's fair game like that's you you know you're you know you're capitalizing on your name yeah you youtubers are getting paid for their name or yeah i mean no difference so why are you pigeon hell right because you're because you're on a scholarship exactly i'm sorry if you're on an academic scholarship and then some company comes to you some research company you know like let's say you know cern out in you know out in switzerland is like "hey you're a

00:18:22 brilliant scientist and all this and we want to do." and harvard's like "nope." right nope you can't do it it sounds weird in that context but yeah anyway but yeah so moving on but keeping on to the basketball theme uh being here in dallas at the second floor and uh obviously again being a resident laker fan resident laker fan but it's okay but this is a big deal because it involves l's first game back in dallas man since the trade two months ago so it's it's been um from what i've read obviously we

00:18:54 were up there but it was a welcomed a welcome oh they were cheering for luca yeah everything every time you say the words everything was pro luca um a lot of people i've talked to since then i mean even you know the night of the trade everything like that i mean everyone i've talked to since i mean they're going to continue to root for luka i mean cuz he didn't ask for this yeah and i think they were what was his name milo mila the gm niko nico there we go yeah yeah they were saying like "fire nico or they've been saying fire nico."

00:19:23 no bill hmer was chanting that last night in the stage yeah i mean that's to be expected he made a move that is so yeah there's no hatred for luca no he scored 45 points and he didn't ask for this so it is what it is so well that's that's it's kind of cool that you could separate the art from the artist type of thing yeah i mean again he didn't ask for good job dallas fans i'm i mean you know like i was telling my homie earlier i mean luca has been a liquor for two months and he was a man for almost seven

00:19:50 years so like it's a different level of attachment um like i said i you know me being a fan of the franchise that i am i know what comes with that um i won't say it's i mean it is only about winning but i'll say it a lot of it has to do with the fact of what era i grew up in um and the fact that i didn't see like with kobe when i was like growing up really watching him we didn't win a whole lot it wasn't until we went and got powder that obviously won the two championships but kobe would say the same would have

00:20:18 said the same thing if he was here today yeah man it's about winning championships and and going out there and hanging banners and so again luca's only been a laker for two months so he's got jury's still out what's his uh he's averaging what 28 yeah i mean he's not doing for the guy going in he's actually his his numbers are actually on the lower end of his career numbers but i mean he just walked so that's what i'm saying so season yeah it's one of those things that kind of got to keep letting

00:20:43 him get into rhythm but like i said we got to lower got a couple games left so um you know come playoff time here next week starting we'll you know we'll see what happens i just i feel like like i said we got to go win something man i i mean bronn is 40 you know he's he obviously wants one more championship before he hangs it up and like i said man you on the lakers now man we got to hang banners that's what we do that's what it is so so outside the maths are you thinking that it's going to be another lakers celtics i don't know bro

00:21:12 i really hope so but i mean it's going to be a tough road we got to continue to kind of mold our defense in terms of how we're going to defend bigs with only jackson hayes being our big option down there we our small ball lineup has been doing a hell of a good job in terms of forcing a lot of jumpers and not allowing teams to get into the paint cuz obviously don't have the size to really defend the rim so honestly i mean if we can just keep playing with energy and cohesiveness communicating rotations all

00:21:38 that sort of stuff knowing what the defensive game plan is going into each game uh how to defend your matchup you know like i said rotations again that's the number one thing is rotations on defense in basketball is is is a lifesaver when it when it just comes to knowing where to go because there's a lot of teams out there that have the athletes to where even if they don't necessarily know where to rotate to on a given play they can make up for it if they're still athletic but when it comes to you pairing that with actually

00:22:02 knowing what the fuck's going on there was like in ted last what was it i think was it uh the coach for the bulls did this was called like total they call it total football and soccer or soccer but the idea that there's no one fixed position you always have two players to go to so it's constant movement so again that's where the cohesive comes you got to trust but i don't know why i just thought about this when you're talking about players coming what how crazy would it be cuz you know like in hockey

00:22:31 you just change out mhm within like two minutes like you don't have to blow whistler what if they did that in basketball i mean that would like not having to stop play right that would be that would get a little hectic i ain't going to lie i i'm just saying that would be kind of cool the only reason why it wouldn't work is because with hockey it's not like you have to like you obviously have to take the pucks back behind the line but you don't have to necessarily take it out of bounds right and wait for and you don't

00:23:01 have well you don't have to you don't have to a ref to wait on to give you like it's not like they have to wait for the puck every plus you can't do three steps to get across yeah and well only time you actually have to do that is during a face off but in basketball like you've got dead balls where a ball goes out of you know i mean it's just you got all these stoppages that it wouldn't work that would be crazy i will say on a less like on a like i remember kentucky back in 2014 2015 season they had a

00:23:27 platoon system they had so many highly rated guys they literally was sub in five and five out they had such teams this year so but they didn't win a national championship which is crazy which is showed you by college basketball and how unpredictable it is you would think that a team with enough star power to do that would win and they started out undefeated they made all the way to the final four and lost yeah yeah it's just well it's weird that you mentioned that because like i was thinking about today like movies that

00:23:52 have these great uh cast ensembles or even these super groups and rock bands and stuff you would think that it would be like a no-brainer and usually flop mhm cuz the hype is just no bro this shit is crazy cuz on paper that that should work right on paper just like communism sounds good on paper does it work it doesn't work it does not work shit i mean you know we only got a we shit we got four more days left in the nba regular season and then shit the nhl season is on monday so we got those playoffs oh those playoffs coming how

00:24:24 are stars next weekend um i'm pretty sure they are second okay so we're in the we're in the playoffs oh yeah i'm pretty sure they're in this i think they're second in the west right now so i think they're pretty safely in there um masters coverage is just yeah before we get to the masters we got to talk yankees well hey i mean did they not have one show that game went on and we didn't we already recorded the show uh two days before opening day before or whatever um and i text like you watch this you're like "dude three like you

00:24:55 were texting me i was hired dropping a judge dropping bombs three home runs 20 runs was it nine home runs three of them were judge uh just insane but of course all you haters of the yankees again again remember we sucked after the mantle era we didn't win since 1975 it was 1996 when we won or 77 and we didn't win till 96 okay just remember that right and we haven't won what was it 2015 2009 what was we haven't since 09 yeah so shut the fuck up so yeah you it's i get it we're we're the scapegoats but the fact that you're

00:25:47 saying that we cheated oh is that dad hey dad we're about to talk we're about to talk masters we're about to talk masters yeah oh we're talking about yankees and masters so we grab that let me turn your mic on i mean i mean honestly dude did not have a good showing against the tigers the tigers yeah we actually did not win this series well we were not we did not win this series against the tigers this week it was in detroit but it just yeah it just wasn't a it wasn't a good showing guys man and just uh yeah we

00:26:28 were just talking about uh how the all the haters of the yankees dropping 20 runs in the brewers game i mean we lost the we lost the series to arizona right after that we won the series against pittsburgh and then we lost the series at detroit so we got san francisco friday through sunday uh or tomorrow through sunday so see what happens there i just it's just tough this is going to be tough man without having actual pitching again which it seems has been the issue since 09 i mean it's just yeah but yeah like back to i guess we

00:27:02 get to the torpedo bat one we did not break any rules there have been no rules broken no rules are broken we are completely compliant and there's been nothing about just because we had a a physicist from mit working for us that figured all this out yeah you know there's ivy league schools all across the country that's all i'm saying that's a valid point so but like like what we were talking about was the idea behind the old school mentality was to keep the weight at the end of the bat because it's centrifugal force it's going to

00:27:33 give you more lift but you're not hitting the ball at the end of the barrel right no one wants to get jammed that hurts right so to not shift the weight yeah it's not a fun time yeah you want you want all that weight to be where the ball's going to get it's it sounds so simple now that what so many points but people are like wait that doesn't like it's like they don't understand it's like dude look at what you're doing like have you ever swung a baseball bat before yeah well well like you said you think about it it was the

00:28:01 other way around in the 1920s that people were batting with torpedo bats yeah bro like if the bats were different shape back then and then we had to we had the bats that we're used to were the ones that weren't used as often we'd look at it and like what the fuck is that shape so what was the this was the checkmate point you mentioned earlier what was the player that was using oh jean carlo was using it last year in the playoffs and while he was mashing home runs no one said anything then they were

00:28:23 just like "yes." then they were just like "oh the great john you know the great john carlo he's awesome he hits home runs blah blah." and the whole time he was using torpedo bat and no one said anything that's what's crazy mate like that was what people were saying they were like "dude literally the entire postseason last year he was using a torpedo bat and no one said anything." see just the hair is coming and you know what's even crazier is that after the brewers series everyone was talking about cuz he's obviously on the iil so

00:28:49 everyone was talking about the players that have obviously been active in hitting home run but no one wanted to bring that up until after other yankees fans were like "you guys do realize that john carlo was using this last year and no one said anything." everyone was like "well this is too." and it's like there's no you've had the opportunity to use it it's not something but a lot of people are starting to order them now and get them fixed also bro like i said a lot of guys don't necessarily like

00:29:13 them oh yeah that's what so and and that's like i said like i told wes like we don't we didn't like growing up playing baseball we didn't everybody didn't use the same bat we had like 30 bats lined up in the duck everybody had to use it like you know no one was using the same my dad and i go bowling i don't use this ball yeah exactly i mean it's a it's a it's not a one it's not a one-izefits-all type thing hey was them with compliance rules the same thing rules we're good but so there there's that man and like i said

00:29:43 obviously still early in the season that brewers opening series was a was a bright spot but we have um we have struggled here since then uh since that 3 and 0 start we are now four and five so i mean it's okay it's you know we'll we'll we'll figure it out but it's just one of those things where you got to kind of write that shit yeah no dude no early first 30 games last 30 games what is the like you used to theater remember the the second show was always the worst show that's true because you got your

00:30:15 first show you're you got the jitter you're ready to go and goes well but then you now because then that second show like you got it out of the way and everything that you were nervous for about the first show you start thinking about for the second show then you overthink it and then it goes worse because or you get too confident yeah that you know and then you truly don't actually yeah then then you stop performing literally we got a four yeah so but uh with that you got we got your mic right there if you're ready to talk

00:30:45 some uh some masters get that going let me today is thursday today thursday we had the tea house so i think was it like chef there was a a lot of the the top names did 11 o'clock tea time i thought so and then it was like a two o'clock was the other yeah yeah there were some that were like earlier like seven yeah like cheffler i'm just trying to think like morawa man i look this up i don't have my notes with me well i don't know was three or back finished so is it different dad is it different this year with the way the the

00:31:21 greens are or anything where kind of like in the us open where you know the cut line keeps getting moved up because everybody's shooting so high or is it probably tonight i'll watch that whole inside the master stuff and catch up on all that but it's all about wind or rain or weather yeah does the sorry course always plays the weather's good even play easy right and win and the greens get hard of course will play pretty tough uh but you know the the characteristics of the masters is kind of fun to kind of compare all

00:31:59 majors but the reasons there's reasons why arnold palmer won a bunch of masters see balisar won a bunch of masters they both won um british open but neither um neither one of them won the us open so there you go lynx courses well so the you know what's different about how the us opens set up because it's different courses or no they they grow the rough and they narrow the fairway was a premium on precision okay and it kind of comes down to so what pros are really good at doing is from the fairway

00:32:40 they can spin it they can land it where they need to land it and spin it the way they need to spin it control trajectory but when you're hitting out of the rough you got control of not right and plus with those deep sand sand traps yeah i mean there's all so the conditions at the us open tend to be tougher in favor of precision guys so what's interesting about that is that i believe there's probably more one-time winner one time major winner is a uso that okay yeah types because you hit it down the middle

00:33:14 you hit it on the green and you make clutch pars and a full birdie stand right the masters is different the masters is a bomber tool it it favors that like d shambo oh okay you got no like which again why is is like long fairway yeah it's like normal people are used to pine so it's not that hard to get no it's it's actually pretty favorable i literally said it favors guys like dambo and he's tied for second right now whenever he said there i was like you know so it's so it's also the the guys that take risk it's amazing

00:33:48 that mickelson didn't win more but he did win two maybe he won three i can't i think he's won two so he's a bomber and he can putt so bombers they can butt valeros um then tiger comes out i tell you the first time i watched tiger play at augusta and i said it at dinner the guys so you guys were you were 96 yeah 97 97 yeah and it was thursday night dinner mhm tiger had shot up he shot 40 on the front 30th i 600 on the back so like he kicked it into gear that's the year i had purchased the i bet on him in vegas oh

00:34:34 and it was like a six to one right i was speaking of betting you owe him push-ups okay yeah you do two at a time okay that's whoever you want to that's that's all good um the uh the wonder who we got to get back to that because i told that story 20 times we all wonder what that guy did about that the ride or oh yeah the the the the parlay the finite parley can you look that up the oh he had duke wouldn't go all the way it was duke oh he lost it that means he yeah yeah he had the he had got four of the five and he was

00:35:16 going to let it i i don't know if he let it ride or not but he cashed that out yeah i sh everybody said cash it before we knew the out yeah no that i we were all safe i talked to but most of most of the people i talked to were older b no but so tiger shoots third on the bat which is absolutely insane when you watch this week that's almost yeah what is that average what two two hits a hole that's six under yeah that's a birding well he had an eagle i'm pretty sure hit watch 15 it's the big par five the two parfives on the

00:35:57 back nine are where everybody 15's getting bartered in years getting a little longer the when the green is hard they shave the area in front of the green so the ball can spin back into the water those conditions are a little different but tiger it is dry almost to the wall oh was a 400 had a little pitch shot to the green where you you hit that that's a 220 shot or a 215 shot from the top of the hill right to a skinny green so they changed the course the next year oh because they're like cuz once you open up that floodgate then

00:36:38 now it's possible people were like okay they're like well and that's when jack nicholas came along you know palmer was a a gunslinger didn't want to risk joe that big scores but when jack nicholas came you know he's a dude that came from ohio he he practiced in his basement in the wind damn i mean he was hitting into like a canvas chic i'm sure he got to florida yeah but i mean he was a big strong dude so he played power game so yeah he's that farm strong that's what you call that yeah that's what we call their

00:37:15 country palmer hand was giant hands that was kind of his deal he was from latroe which is another farm guys too but so golfers were like smaller guys oh yeah small small but nicholas is a big duke compared to golfers rom is three over through 16 yeah he is yeah so that was um that was a big thing i remember when tiger was coming out that you know you looked at his arms and it was starting to bulk up and you're like "oh wait if you lift weights physical train you know personal trainers or whatever they're just

00:37:54 going." yeah we got cuz watching the full swing rory all those guys are in the gym before they even go on the course yo danbo is got he got yolked that he's the guy that he got he got yeah he slimmed down a little bit but yeah he got first he got way too yolked i was like "bro you're golfing like that?" yeah and i remember this yeah right that was um mr fringer was telling mark my best friend from back in hilad um cuz he was coming to yoga with me cuz mark was getting muscle down from football and it's like "no dude." like

00:38:28 cuz it was affecting his triceps and biceps were affecting his swing yeah you're not able to get full range of motion yeah so it's like yeah you got the power but it's no good if you can't so so the well it kind i guess that so the things that so if you're not a golfer there's some things to watch when you're watching a master that are very interesting one is just that where you place the ball on the green where your putts going to be because if it's fast you can put balls off the green greg norman

00:39:03 lost the shark at baldo and whatever 91 or 92 because it the the downfall started when he hit a kind of an easy short iron into the ninth hole maybe it's the 10th hole that has this false run and and it spun off and it ran like 80 yards o and that's where he kicks the belt down then he hit one or two balls in the water on 12 that's the other thing about the 12th hole ken vur still commentator can win it on 12 but you can lose it on 12 and jordan spe has lost on 12 there's plenty of guys that chump it in one of my friends hates

00:39:47 jordan yeah what i said one of my friends hates jordan i don't really you don't really hear much dude he he just thinks he's very overrated ah he he went bad see he think he i family he'll come back i mean you got to get b early yeah i really check that uh but here's here's another one fred couples fred couples dude did you see him the most like i think he's probably the most liked golfer did you see him hold out from eagle earlier oh dude it was awesome oh really oh dude it was a it was a actually let me see if i find it was

00:40:20 electric so here's the deal if if the green on 12 is like it was when couples won the masters there was a couple of guys like remember that francisco molinari guy that ended up losing to tiger 2019 i think he hit a ball in the water on 12 that landed on hil on the bat yeah freddy couples when he won same thing happened to him but the grass a little bit the hill was long and it saved the ball from go oh and he chipped it up and either got a par or bogey but the whole point is since since those times the conditions they changed

00:41:09 the conditions to where 15 or 12 is this week is this today yeah what happened yeah yeah oh he got an eagle or whatever god look at that salt and pepper hair all right so what was it had to be 191 191 oh holy yeah you got to show that to jeff how much oh my god yeah you got to see that oh holy shit freddy it's on 14 is that fun a 191 yeah he's got the p van i care might be that swing is so his swing is so pure bro dunk and a yellow golf ball that's in baby that was ready that's a nice trick so here's a question for you yeah so you

00:42:09 know the if you've won the masters it's the only i'm pretty sure it's the only tournament that if you're a past winner you get to you qualify for life right like you keep coming back and uh some people there's some sort of it's always a debate about should you age those guys out right because like they don't make when they get a certain age they don't make cut oh yeah bartending stuff yeah sorry um i get that so oh by the way our charleston trip was amazing i do have to tell you that was awesome

00:42:46 yeah man yeah so especially if you're dead to eat yeah it's a great it's great to go visit but yes so wait so you get in for life but you still have to make the cut and you qualify but you never make cut because you can't eat right right yeah they started the tradition some guys just started to bow out right uh but some guys would play so there's there's a little bit of controversy about it's kind of like if you're a past champion they had the right that makes sense yeah i would you have no chance to

00:43:24 really win i mean make would you well i mean it's not bad take yourself out i'll take the burst i'll take the last place what whatever they get shit you won't make the cut oh that's true i mean i think it's more just the fact that i can go no it's yeah yeah it's it's like one of those just yeah that that card it's one of those memberships that not ever also i was talking to wes about how like their menu being like almost immune to inflation is crazy like $150 egg sandwiches now i don't eat egg sandwiches but that's crazy uh $3.50 50

00:44:01 cents for a chicken biscuit would have me in a chokeold all weekend all weekend so the it would get bad yeah but it compensates for how much it cost to get in there it cbs pays them right to broadcast what the sponsors pay oh dude yeah and i saw this like uh view of the runway at august at augusta airport with all the private jets there and stuff it's crazy yeah so i think it's more yeah if i was in the other parallel universe that i won the masters i think it's more just the it's like you know

00:44:36 you get out of school or it's like spring break it's like this is what i do every april like it has to be that's like the they get to go they have the champions dinner right yeah they wear their green jackets the champion sponsors i don't know if you saw the picture scotty's menu was amazing yeah his first it's much better than his first menu it's very similar but this one is much better than his first what's in his menu oh dude come on man let me find it for you cuz actually remember i i think i remember i showed you but yeah

00:45:05 no it was yeah it was something ridiculous but like the fact that you can just choose oh dude so and you can ask for whatever you want is that the you know trey you know how fuzzy zeller got in trouble no tiger one what do you do you know this it's a race oh no i did not know that what happened how about he wanted some chicken or something oh i did hear that okay was like wait yes i yeah i remember no i remember that no when you said it i was like wait do i do remember that that was funny i i remember that remember that i remember

00:45:47 that and that's what dave chappelle's like that shit's fucking good when he say he said it i was like "hold on wait that name sounded familiar." and i was like "yeah he was like with tiger." and i was like "i do remember that happening." cuz lindsay went a little prickly on that one that's cuz i was young that's what i okay yeah this cuz that was a thing still cuz i i mean i was born in 95 but i do remember being a kid and hearing like my family talk about it like years later i'm i'm like because i

00:46:13 remember hearing a story about that oh dude yeah followups he can be is that here correct [Music] i remember you grew i tickets tiger didn't make the cut that year it was like 05 so he he like there's a whole bunch he's right are you talking about tiger oh then you also had the other offcourse drama that he had oh it's called your chili's waitresses are your achilles hill man well i was going to say it was later but it's shit it might have started earlier dun y'all who knows yeah who knows what he

00:47:19 fuzzies so you know what a girl's dog pad looks like it's usually big huge it's got everything title is yeah yeah it's got it's got the you know they've got sponsorship on the cap and all and no shirt yeah oh oh dude yeah yeah like that's yeah and that is that's awesome that's crazy that's funny you couldn't get one sponsor he he might have got like the nra yeah the oh i guess you got to keep the business going support the locals i go back to the gra that is true you get a lot of rando first timers yeah i was just now i think

00:49:41 about it i go around twice a day or yeah and you yeah because the caddies what the caddies get there what monday or tuesday so they they walk the course of yeah i was going to say you get extra looks and you know all that sort of stuff than any you know more than anybody else so well all the year yeah you you know every condition yeah you get every scenario possible you know so it's like oh it's this it's this is the temperature this is the win oh i that you know what to do okay so remember this so this was the

00:50:12 one this was 2023 so he had cheeseburger sliders firecracker shrimp tortilla soup texas ribeye steak or black and red fish warm chocolate chip skillet cookie that sounds amazing this year's champions dinner cheeseburger sliders and firecracker shrimp as well as meatball and ravioli bites as appetizers first course is going to be texas style chili main co main course will be your choice of woodfire woodfired cowboy ribeye or black and red fish dessert is going to be a warm chocolate chip skillet black

00:50:42 and ribeye maybe oh yeah oh so so speaking of menus this is actually a perfect way to close it out so trey is going for the first time to compares oh no no no cremon cremonas i'm sorry i was bing kimonos and i said "if anybody knows cremonas is that it's basic." well that's what the hell i'm looking for at the chicken park see i told you i told you i i literally every time i go to an italian cuz my favorite type food is italian my favorite dish lasagna period point blank my last meal on this earth i'm picking lasagna every time i

00:55:49 "thanks." and he was like he's like "you want a beer?" and i'm like "sure." and he was like "let me get two milits." and i'm like but he wasn't but he wasn't drinking lights i was like "is this for you?" he's like "no no you get both of them." and i was like "oh shit." yeah there you go so it was one of those it was just a funny moment i was just like "thanks for that." i mean call me anybody yeah you call me orthal james simpson if you want you call me oj you call me eldrich tiger his name eldrich

00:56:14 yeah what's it it's even tiger woods tiger woods what was it on parks and wreck speaking of tiger being dressed so ron swanson every time he had sex the next day he would wear tiger red the next day so everybody knew it was like "oh ron got laid last night cuz we was wearing tiger sunday." sunday sunday shirt wear red on sunday hey thanks for jumping on red way to give a shout out to zoe oh yeah you already know zoe always get a shout out my producer always she did say that i was her first you no dean you were literally from

00:56:48 yours ryan zero on this on this journey that she is on and is going to take her to the stars you were the very first person to start she's got to takes that one push gm chops for that right yeah i guess i mean you know what's also crazy about this is that if it wasn't for me beating meeting dean through lisa we would this wouldn't be though that's what we fucking dean man it's always dino dude it's always dino man this revolves around dino man i think it's like she's amazing you only track good people man so that's

00:57:24 just what you do meeting her dude and you know what's crazy was that really only happened cuz like well i was off work that day so i didn't have anything else to do and i was waiting on zoe to get off work right and so she was like oh do you just want to come and like wait you know for zoe or whatever to come get you uh and meet dean or whatever and i was like yeah sure and then that was yeah dad called me he's like at the sanctum yeah and you were like come check out the studio and it was i remember bro it was like we this

00:57:49 so far cuz just it was just set up there was two it was just the two metal the two last put together and that was it and now and now it's this keeps evolving it's kind of cool it just keeps evolving bro i love it that's shout out to victoria on that this is all this is all of her this is being are you videoing yeah oh wow we're videoing so we got so it actually looks like a legit studio yeah so this is incredible so jo the masters i had no idea who went yeah i would say i i i sent in my top picks and

00:58:22 she's like "it's too late." i'm going to revisit i looked at this uh article that espn wrote before about who were some obviously they do the breakdown of how to watch who to watch all that sort of stuff i did see some rory i saw some sheffller i saw lori palace and i saw mory colum yes yes all them too so i'm going to look back on that once i'm probably going to do it before first t- sunday and see where everybody that they listed is at in the standings but i'm always interested because i actually when i used to sports

00:58:53 gamble a little bit i would gamble a little bit on golf and there was actually a guy on the show i would watch that would go in and he had a model for each and each and every course and the same way you broke it down dean about how the course is laid out whether it favors bombers or like he had this model who it would favor and like he would give them options on who to pick to finish you know top 10 top five because obviously with golf you can't always so you got to do top five top 10 all that sort of stuff so it was really crazy how

00:59:20 close he would get yeah you know what i mean just like how the the analysis of it goes it's just like it was insane and he was close and a lot of times gave him winners on who would win the tournament like it was nuts hey so maybe uh so what time you work sunday so drew is here well two but also we only have like 30 reservations so i might not have to work at all okay so yeah we play that by ear but i could potentially make i'll fake a doctor i'm really ether photoshop well i don't need a doctor i never call that a word so

00:59:50 that wouldn't work but i know i'm just but no no but honestly we can we'll see you guys aren't going to see this yet and with that you only get paid well yeah but also like i said we only have like 30 right now it's sunday it's m well nobody's going out tonight sunday it's easter well i was going to say it's thursday and we only had 30 as of now so we're probably not going to eat them anymore so i probably might have to work it's masters weekend it's easter weekend it's yeah well we'll figure it uh

01:00:16 hopefully no hey gms we're not talking about this we're not not with beer in front of us this is actually a selzer yeah budweiser seltzer yeah is that i see lifesaver you open now not yet listen to those gummies all right i'm going i'm going home too all right yeah we got to go cook i got to go grocery shop a little bit all right strike up fellas that was awesome that was fucking great we got to get the golf knowledge from dino in there you already know
