I think he looks great, he's gotten hotter as he's aged. But my question is, and this is no disrespect to Aaron Rodgers? because, again, I am a diehard Aaron Rodgers fan. This year, I walked away from this Hard Knocks episode two, asking myself a simple question Who's the coach of the Jets?

That's a very good question. Is it Robert Salah or is it Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers?

Is he an all-time like top five hugger? Yeah, he's just he's hugging everybody, he's going in for the hug, two hands.

He gives you the squeeze on the back of your spine, like he's giving the Heimlich from reverse. He loves, he loves, he's a lover, he loves to love, and he loves grass.

Both. But yeah, when he went up to his, uh, former coach, he was like, You're fat as shit? I was like, Yeah, he is fat as shit.

And then everyone's like.

And I said, Huh, that's weird, tail wagging the dog that feels like Aaron Rodgers is coaching this team, not.

What he says goes, There's some issues with past protection. I've actually that's the weakness, maybe a smart football take on my part. Everyone's talking about Brees Hall, Dalvin Cook joining the Jets, right? They're dealing with offensive line issues, past protection issues.

They're two great players that are joining at running back right now. They don't have a lot of time to work on past protection in the preseason at all. Maybe that might be their biggest issue. Also. I think the fact that their defensive line is so good that they get their ass kicked every. The offensive line gets her ass kicked every day by a really good defensive line. That's a little bit emasculating that you lose your confidence.

It, it also, um, so the Jets should make their defensive line worse, is what?

You should.

Shout out his dad, shout out his agent for getting them paid. We need to get Quinton Williams on the show. Yeah, he seems awesome.

He seems like a part of my take guests, he seems like an awesome dude and his teeth look great. Remember he got drafted with braces? yep, always tough, but that he is completely glowed up.

And he also is incredible at his position and really fun to watch.

I got him, I swear, I got him. We're in a lot of blitz.

I had some people are into, like, the Pimple Popper thing, um, that I can't watch any.

No, I've been, I've been reading a lot of, uh, old Jets. Rosters, okay, from the past couple of years, and it's just been very bad. Like two years ago, it was Rashad Perriman, Denzel Mims and Jeff Smith as a receivers.

And then they didn't even list tight ends. Oh man, so I'm just excited about this year. I mean, they do, they're loaded at the.

Nicole Harbin Yeah, who had a great look during the rookie show. The rookie show is also very funny. Because it was like all the African American rookies that went out and they did a step team celebration. And then the white guys go out there and they're like, look at this app.

Yeah, everyone.

Anyone who has any fun gets it ruined, like, you guys are going to ruin my phone with Justin Fields. I know that. Yeah, it's a fact, right?

So you're going to meet. You're going to post so many slanderous memes about Justin Fields. I can in turn ruin your fun about the jets. No, I'm pretty, I'm pretty. Justin Fields. Positive online, okay?

That's all right, I'll have to do a look through that. Yeah, um, you went through.

That'd be turf. oh, okay, they got new turf.

It's like double layered field turf. Yeah, it was, uh, Kyle Shanahan complained about everybody tearing their ACL on it, and they finally switched it out last season. Well, in between, um, Aaron Rogers does get has got significantly better looking.

That one, that one video of him grabbing the turf when he was a clean shaven. Like, you know, year five, ugly dude. He had a face. Now he looks good. Yeah, yeah.

I don't understand how these guys get skinnier, he.

Um, that guy is actually, he has to be a witch. There's no other explanation for it. He's just like telling people, think of a number, and then he just writes down the number of the thinking of what the fuck is going on. He should actually be a football coach.

It was a great moment, though.

There's something about, and maybe this is, um, the what's the guy in in Dallas, Dan? what's the guy's name? Defensive Coordinator Dan Quinn Dan Quinn. Maybe it's the Dan Quinn effect, but I love, love, love. A defensive coordinator with a backwards hat. Yeah, that guy, there's something, it does it for me.

Yeah, I'm, I am gradually getting.

And then and then go back to, like every player, being the best player in the world.

Yes, um.

I know I know they were dancing around it. This is a direct result of Aaron Rodgers being a selfless teammate. Give it, yeah, he's got more money.

Yeah, more money to hand around, money to hand around, yeah. And then we also had Ezekiel Elliott go to the Patriots.

So congrats to Hank, who doesn't have to change his Ezekiel Elliott Cowboys jersey. He can just maybe slap a logo on top of it. Yeah, but yeah, huge win for.

Lenny's still out there. um, Cream Haunts still out there. yeah, wait, Cream Hunt still out there. he's still out there.

I think he went to the Saints and then the colt said, No, you got to come visit us.

Jerome Ford Uh, Jake, October or no? How many days in September? 30th? September 30th? Reminder Bet Ezekiel Elliott I know, okay, bet Ezekiel Elliott. Uh, two touchdowns on that Sunday's game.

Why is that? It's a Patriots cowboys, you know? But we'll check. We'll do that for him. Yeah, he'll definitely.

Yeah, uh, okay, anything else? Before? We have a nice discussion with Max about Philadelphia Sports, I think that's it.

We have a pack show coming here, so we're going to kick it back to ourselves. But we have, uh, Terrell Hatton, John Rom, Max having a meltdown, Jake going into a weird Twitter space. Mount Rushmore Ways to waste money?

Did you know that over 35 of all fatal accidents occur between 6 p.m. and midnight? And people aged 25 to 34 have the highest amount of drivers involved in car crashes?

I'll add one else up there watching. How many hours of commercial free football are we about to get? uh, 14, 14 hours?

13 13 hours of commercial free football. What are you saying, Jake? Just say it. I think it's seven each day.

It's seven, seven hours. Listen, I watched the whole day, it's preseason. I like watching the countdown clock for the Red Zone channel, the first countdown clock of the year.

Com slash PMT that's forthepeople..com slash PMT, or pound law that's pound 529 from your cell. This is a paid advertisement. Okay, before we get to.

He's fine. This is not how that went. Then we woke up Monday morning and James Harden said this. Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be part of an organization that he's a part of. Let me repeat that Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he's a part of.

To a bunch of, uh, Chinese kids at his basketball camp who were like, What, why are we? why are we listening?

Cause I forget Daryl Morey, It's football season, I'm not up to speed on my basketball. Facts Daryl Morey.

Current team Okay, so it.

I think he did, I think he did do that a few years ago. And that's exactly where James Harden is, while he's making this statement about him being a liar. Interesting.

It sounds to me like odds of James Harden returning to the 76ers might be lower than we thought on Sunday. Okay?

They, they basically almost beat the Celtics. This was a championship team ready to take the next step to ultra championship. That's what we call the Easter Conference finals. So everything James Harden doing this is bad, but at least at least Joel Embiid is not. Also upset and deleted stuff from his Instagram and Twitter, saying that he no longer lives in Philadelphia.

So Joel Embiid has not. He let me just hold on, look up his, uh, his Twitter account. Cause I remember he used to say, like on his bio, that he was processing, processing because he loved the process. Philadelphia.

Uh, yeah, two. 2.1 million followers. And it's no longer saying processing no. It says, uh yo, one day, I think that might be where he's from. Uh, so, yes, that is, that is.

I know that we're.

I have to, I have to break this news. I went on Twitter and and it says, you know? On the right tab, Listen live in Spaces. Yeah, um, Jason Whitlock is hosting a space that says.

You're going to have to wait, Max, you're going to have to wait. And we were, we were about to start the show and I considered putting a pause on the start of the show just so I could get involved in this space. Does it matter if Obama is gay? Um, yes, I think it does matter.

I think, I think this throws the whole Obama gay situation into into chaos. Uh, does it matter if he's gay? I don't.

I care deeply how, how.

So okay, back to actually, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter, all right, I'm talking about sports back to draw them. What if he was gay with Trump?

That would be funny. They should lock both of them up in the same cell for forever, and then they just have no choice.

That's a thought starter, what we call a thought starter. Okay, but but, but indeed, oh, indeed.

So wait, what if Michelle Obama's a man? Does that count?

Uh, everybody is a little bit gay, you know what? It just so happens that my gay part is a lesbian. Yeah, well.

Max, you join Max, you join Jake, you join Jake, you join Jake, you join Jake.

You know what? Leave the room for a second while we deal with Max, No, no, no, Max, Jake. Can you leave the room and listen while you're out? And then come back and tell us what was said? Just like 10 seconds?

Yeah, no, no, listen till we're done with Max, or you can just.

Okay, yeah, Jake.

No, there's actually, I would say, 90 of no, maybe 80 of, uh, N.B.A. players have.

He's being a, he's being a fucking like, like teenager he's.

I What's your what? So that's all I'm saying is that James Harden is breaking him up. Yes, which you're.

And I don't know whether I want to blame Daryl Mori or James Harden, because I'm going to.

So he's doing what Daryl Mori does, and then James Harden is, being a petulant bitch, what he does.

I mean, in the in the N.B.A. you have more, but you still sign a contract, they don't have to trade you, they could just kind of ignore your trade request. If you get super fat and then break up a team from the inside out, that's really the only leverage you have. And James Harden is very good at that.

I don't know if he's going to get fat again. It sounds like what his strategy is is like, let's go to China and really fuck with Daryl Mori's brain. And then hope that he gets so mad at me that he can't stand the idea of writing a check to me anymore. It's the craziest.

Like, think about what, what, what?

Yeah, but what about Game One of the same one that was sick? Game one was sick? But he also signed the deal he chose, he did not need to sign that deal.

He chose to take that and then he's just upset that Daryl Morey just didn't give him away for nothing. Yeah, kind of a funny move on James.

So he had to opt in and then hope that he would get traded, and now that he hasn't been traded, he has to opt out. While hoping someone else's ops in.

He goes Philadelphia overpass 76ers on bridges. Like, that's what James Harden is so good at. Just destroying front offices and destroying the entire culture of a basketball team and then moving on. Probably the greatest player. It's like him and Kyrie have been pretty good at it.

He is just going to keep them and he's going to sit on the bench and not play anything. It would be very, I hope he gets, but then he got the other players on the team. Who else? P.J. Tucker Oh, no, I didn't know that.

He broke P.J. Tucker as well, but I'm P.J. Tucker is whatever I don't give a fuck about P.J. Tucker. He's a dog, he's a dog.

He's a dog, he is getting his guys around him to go against Daryl Mori. So now it's either. Now you have to choose sides, now you have to choose.

So which side are you choosing? I don't know, I don't know. All I know is that. The only person I care about right now is Tyrese Maxey. And he has not gone up in support of James Harden. What about the MVP?

I care about him, too.

He, he's very active on social media. I wouldn't say. He's like, super calculated I think sometimes. Sometimes he like, just trolls first, and then he's like, Oh shit, like I was just joking around.

In this case, it feels, it feels real, it feels too real. Max, Did you hear about, uh, one of the one of the small things that led to the breakup between Maury and Harden? No.

Oh, yeah, read this article Oh, no pizza or something, yeah.

The little, the little stuff matters when running a team. The seeds of mistrust between Harden and Maury had been planted with the smallest forgotten promises, according to Harden. Quote from Harden. Every Friday that was going to be pizza Day. Oh, we had pizza Friday for the first month the season, but then that was it.

It was supposed to be every week all year long. You come in, is this a butt crack? You come in on a Friday, you get a slice, not some Fridays, every Friday. Consistency builds championships. That was the deal we had, but that was a lie. It's frustrating because I'm locked in thinking about one thing and one thing, only winning basketball games.

Harden told the assembled class of 14 year olds in attendance for the launch of Harden's Chinese wine company. But it would also be nice to be treated like a human. Wait, so you, whatever, where was this article written? Uh, that was, uh, the Athletic Premium plus, as posted on my Twitter account, Wow, oh, oh, fuck you.

Oh, this was you thing.

Oh yeah, it's just people.

I keep going back and forth and it matters or not. Yeah, let's do a let's do a very exciting new thing that's happening. Max, you want to go get it?

You want to go surprise us, surprise the people. Uh, pft. You are a huge Buffalo Wild Wings fan, as am I. We love Buffalo Wild Wings.

That's so good, that was big hot seat, cool throne. Uh, let's bring Jake back in, Jake is back.

Jake has listened to the Jason Whitlock hosted space. Does it matter if Obama is gay for the last 10 minutes? Please let us know what.

Here's some of the quotes I have written down. Okay, all right, nice, yeah.

Go ahead, uh, one speaker, the first one, just said, It absolutely matters that he's gay. Um, oh so, that's not even a. they're just saying he's gay. Yeah. Each speaker first, before they say anything else, they answer the question, and then they give their thoughts.

That's a well run space, so it's like.

That's, yeah.

I was in this and took screenshots.

Yeah, I don't think it went well, probably not.

Jake, What's going on?

Okay, or do you should, big cat?

What, Hank's on vacation again?

Okay, the new Madden is out and people are not happy. The glitches are very evident, it seems. I don't know if you guys.

That's smart, yeah, remember?

He has under strict orders to say that he doesn't have madden codes. It's an India. He does, he does.

All right, next, my cool throne.

Big one There's a big one dependent again. Yep, 20 off sale. Uh, you're listening today Wednesday?

Yep, it's today, uh, most of the site, there's a few.

Great Merch, Great Merch I.

Keep going, we'll.

All right, and you'll feel the same way.

And, uh, for the first time ever streaming live on YouTube, Yes, the guy, you'll be there Friday night, so yeah, tune in.

Awesome. Plug God out, Plug God out.

Okay.

Oh, it might've been, oh, because, um, Kyle Shanahan last week, I believe it was last Friday. Let us in on a little nugget about what the 49ers were planning to do if they had won that game against the Eagles and made the Superbowl. So the game. We all remember it, it's sock.

Brock Purdy got hurt, Josh Johnson got concussed immediately. They didn't have a quarterback. Um, they had had discussions about what they were going to do if Brock Purdy got injured. Because they were obviously without Jimmy G, they were without without Trey Lance.

Kyle Shanahan's plan that he had in place. If the 49ers had made the Superbowl and Brock Purdy was injured, Philip Rivers was going to start the Superbowl on two weeks notice. Yes, having played zero games with the 49ers, having practiced with them zero times before that, he would have been the starting quarterback in a Superbowl, he probably would have won.

He would have won, and I'm so fucking mad at Kyle Shanahan for saying this because I feel like I have retroactive blue balls.

It would not have been an issue, he's so slow, it would not have been an issue it would.

H.e.

Is this 11? They've got a full football team now, I think they have the whole squad.

Shout out Philip Rivers. Yeah, all-time stick man. In July, he's expecting his 10th Wow.

So it already happened. That was a month ago. So bet on Philip Rivers week one touchdown. Yeah, yep.

Got it cool, Throne is getting disowned by your own children. So, if you've been paying attention to the news for the last couple days, there's been a rift in the storybook relationship between Michael Orr and the Toohey family, the family that, quote unquote, adopted him. You see it in the blind side.

Apparently, there was no adoption paperwork ever filed, it was a conservatorship. And so that meant that they were making business decisions for Michael Orr. They didn't have any legal obligation to him as a parent guardian situation. But they're making business decisions. And one of those business decisions allegedly was that they controlled most of the money and the back end revenue from the success of the Blindside movie once it came out.

And Michael Orr allegedly did not get paid off from that, as opposed to members of the Toohey family that did get paid out from it. I don't know, I think we have to just wait for all the facts to come out. I feel like this is one of the stories where we'll just wait for the next five years for all the facts to come out of it. But it sounds like to anybody with a working brain who watched the movie The Blindside. They probably wouldn't have brought Michael Orr into their family if he was a five foot five kid.

That was good at chess. It probably had a little bit to do with the fact that he was one of the best football players in the country at the time and already highly recruited. He picked his own school, right? Uh, no, that's interesting, because the Toohey family is like the biggest boosters of Ole Miss, so it's just a coincidence.

Um, but yeah, you're right, it's going to, I think it's going to go back and forth. They have. The Toohey family is alleged that. It's a shakedown, which I guess that's kind of what you do in these situations, you'd be like, no shakedown, yeah.

Um, I just know that Michael Orr didn't like the movie and the way he was portrayed in the movie. Which should have been the first red flag to be like, Hey, something's amiss. Oh, maybe the movie should have been about the. Not about the family that's saved him, but about the kid who pulled himself out of poverty and made it to the NFL and won a Super Bowl. Yeah, how about? how about the kid?

That's the part he was very upset about, which I would be upset too if I were him. And if you watch The Blind Side now, I would like to rewatch it because it's very, I'm sure. It's unintentionally hilarious right now, like going back and making Tim McGraw and Sandra Bullock like the heroes of the story. When it's a kid that worked his way out of having no home and an absentee mother to like, ended up becoming a great. One of the best football players in the world, that's a pretty good story.

He went weird, but Liars Poker's a great book. Blindside.

Money ball. Oh, he did. money ball. Big short. Okay, yeah.

Read them all, Bang, there was crazy.

Feels like you could have just adopted him, you could have adopted him at that point. Conservatorship is is weird and so. Or alleges that he just found out that it wasn't an adoption, but a conservatorship. Like four or five months ago. And so that's the reason for him filing this lawsuit.

Also, he did file the lawsuit on the day that his book came out, which is just something to keep in mind. That's a fact. Also, the two E's are friends with Ben Mintz. They are, yeah.

There's a lot of blurry, a lot of facts that we have to wait to come out on. This one, I think at the end of the day, um, you can pretty much say that, yeah, this has always kind of been, uh, the logical explanation of what happened. Like, they didn't, they didn't bring this kid into their home because he was homeless, and they wanted to be great people. They brought them into their home. Because they're like, oh shit, this guy's awesome at football and we're the biggest ole miss fans in the world.

So we might as well adopt them and then just funnel them down.

All right, my hot seat. Um, is us? Because should we say what we're thinking about for the punishment? This year? We discussed it. Yeah, should we just say it?

I think people get excited about it and also it gives us the bonus of saying, of deciding a punishment without Hank here. And then, uh, so, a hot seat is us. We've been spending a lot of time together, we went out to the, uh, the the golf today.

So we had some downtime and we decided we're going to change some things up this year in the fall. For the Friday preview, Uh, less picks. But we're still gonna do a competition and, uh, the loser of it, we'll. We'll absolutely say it when we get to week one. Like, you know, if there's any changes that Hank will obviously have. But the loser of the competition this year is going to have to do an entire hour show in a Vegas theater. Uh, by themselves, a one-man show, a one-man show. PFT is only allowed to play one song on guitar for a certain amount of time, too, cause you'd play free bird, free bird 60 minutes. But yeah, I don't. I've been thinking about it, and I don't think means Jake or Hank. I don't know what you guys would do.

I think Jake could do it, Jake's a bit. I would learn magic tricks. Uh, stand up, you would just say, that's the joke.

Correct, although I maybe I do like a tribute band to Mitch Hedberg. Evening with Mitch Hedberg, I would bring out a ping pong.

Like, you guys were commentating like we were all involved, Max.

If we, if we did a show where we just consumed as many drugs as possible until we expired on stage, I feel like people would buy tickets. Oh yeah, oh yeah, the stream numbers.

We'll, we'll, we'll tweak it. But I like the idea of just deciding a punishment with Hank out, not here, cause you know he'll complain, you know he'll complain. I watched, by the way, Side Note a real Housewives in New York last night and watched the new season.

It sucks. An entire episode was just based on them bitching at each other about not letting each other eat. Is that not the entire series? But they literally were just grit week, it was just hank.

It was Hank would be a real housewife of New York. Yeah, like, he fits in perfectly. They're like, we didn't, we worked out and then we didn't eat breakfast till 11am, that was literally set.

So, uh, and then my cool throne is, um, me, because I'm going to put a positive spin on life and yes, uh. Our boss Erica Nardini had a profile in a vanity Fair where she said, I am, quote, arguably, one of the worst betters of all time. And he always loses the parlay, talking about the can't lose parlay, she said Arguably that's true.

Uh, I am going to use this as a positive. No one expects anything from me. So, uh, if I am just if I have a pulse this year gambling, then I'm exceeding expectations. You.

Have you figured out what to do about Wander? Franco? Uh, I, I've already. You guys won't a second, a second, a second. Minor has been reported. Um, you guys wouldn't let me drop, we can't drop them.

No, no, no, no, no, no, we. no, we didn't change, we got a mouse.

Do you feel comfortable? Isn't it convenient? isn't it convenient that you're in last place? and you're? How convenient is that? how convenient is that big? Nine home runs, oh.

Oh, you'd still be, uh, 14 above Pft.

So you're at 66 and PFTs? Yeah, no, I don't, and and I want it on the record, that PFT wanted me to keep the pedophile on my team. If you end up losing, no, no, I don't want to win with a.

I'll drop all the home runs, nine home runs, and I'll pick up Corey Seeger. Okay, do I still get an injured drop? No, so this is, but this is a pedophile.

Is that separate hurt or pedophile? New segment? Corey Seeger I think is available, right, I believe, so, okay, great.

All right, so also my.

Okay, but you have to drop the home runs, you have to drop the home, or, or you could keep the home runs if you're comfortable with keeping. I have to faster. Yeah, I mean, I've, basically.

What team is he on?

Oh, I looked up the Mariners. Yeah, he hit one tonight, no shit did.

No, I don't, I just get that. No, you didn't have them on your team, all right?

Back to back, and then we'll do our Mount Rushmore. Okay, before we get to our interviews with John Rahm and Tyrell Hatton, we're brought to you by our friends at Coors Light.

We now welcome on a very special guest, reigning Masters champion, one of the best golfers in the world. It is John Rom. And I have the most important question to start this interview Can you break the news on your Master's dinner? Oh, that's all we care about, you know?

Okay, I can't. Honestly, I haven't given it as much thought as you would think. Like the first few weeks, it's all I thought about for some reason, and after that I haven't. So I know the dessert.

I don't even know if it's a name in English, to be honest. Okay, we'll look it up, so in Spanish will be milojas, which translates to thousand leaves, okay?

There's a couple of different versions. And then not, I guess it's like a cocktail reception. So early on, if anybody knows, from Spain, we're really known for the Spanish ham, so we'll have that, everything in between.

I have no idea that's good, though, so no, that's the thing like, I don't know, I don't know.

I have to ask a bunch of questions, right? Like, I have an idea on a wine that's personal to me, and it's really good wine as well. But I don't know if it needs to be part of the wine cellar of Augusta National or not, right? I don't know what in between, what goes, or how much we can have or not have. I know we pay for it.

Well, I pay for it. So can you bring in your own chef? Can you bring in Jose Andres so he can tell the kitchen, teach him a little bit what to do? But I think.

Everybody's super tradition the dinner.

I'm usually asleep at nine, 30, man, I wouldn't be making it that late. I did have a question.

Were you like, I mean, I guess it's a testament to your mental strength as a golfer? Does that phase you at all, or are you like, No, it's a four day tournament? I'll be fine. Listen if you're going.

It's too many parts. But like, out of those four that I had, the fourth one went in. The two short ones were just misreads. I hit them good, I can't really say anything else.

And that's what I told my caddy and I'm going to the next tee. And I've always said, I've told a few people this in a few more podcasts. If you're standing on the seventh fairway at Augusta National on the front nine, right that even par and you've hit the fairway, I think you're in a really good spot.

And that's what I had in mind, and, funny enough, I was even standing on that fairway. Made Birdie in seven and made the Great Eagle on eight, and kind of the run, when, you know, took off after that. Well, there's also.

Thank you. Yeah, no, I appreciate it. I had nothing to do with no other reason. Well, the rain jinx.

Yeah, how.

No, I don't think so. There's been a couple of situations like that, I think, Tiger told me. Very similar fashion on 2005. They played 54 holes on the weekend. Jeez.

That's a lot of golf, so that's way too much golf. Yeah, I know, so there's. There's been all the weeks like the year Sergio One, it was a really windy masters as well.

Uh, there's. There've been some tough ones, obviously. There's one in recent memory because of how cold it was Saturday, Yeah, I mean, it was freezing in the morning.

Yeah.

That's the best golf shot that'll ever be hit. It's a lot of luck, but thank you, no, but I mean, it's all luck. So every time, every time I hit a ball into the water now, I think, well, I might. John Rahm It that might just keep skipping and go in the hole. You're never out of it.

But that that was truly like one of the most incredible feats of I don't know, it was like physics. I don't know how you did it. Is there one and only time I've?

Yeah, you kind of have to pick what you think.

So you can't quite get the same angle. So they changed it since then, cause, you know, we've done it so many times. I had to renew that area of the course, but Rahm proofed it. No, no, no.

They just had to do it. We were getting dangerously close to, at one point, somebody ending up in the pond. Yeah, you might want to see that happen. We don't want to do that.

But I just see sometimes you hit shots, I'm like, Damn, he's strong.

Uh, no, no, I told you it was a dumb question, no cause. Like, like, you play with Rory, who I'm taller and heavier than, and, and, uh, you know, he hits it way harder than I do.

So it's kind of like, in golf, you can't really do that. There's a lot of players out there that are not. It's like the the the lanky like pitchers, right? You get the string bean that just gets on the mound, throws one, oh three, and you're like, this makes no sense, right?

So it's the same, is the same same extent, same exact feeling. So you can't really. This game humbles you way too quick, so you can't get up there on just hitting a hard shot. Okay, well, maybe this.

I would be I would be better than you, I'd be better than Rory if I could hit as far as Rory. Oh man, that comment.

So you had to learn how to hit the ball that way, the fact that your backswing is so short.

She always compared it to to Andy Roddick serve. He was also like, short and quick. And yeah, I mean, the the shorter the length of the swing, technically, the less time for things to go wrong. But it's just by my biomechanics, right? I mean, just what I had on my right foot growing up, it's just kind of how I had to swing it.

There's no. I can't, really. I could do a full turn, but because that ankle can't, doesn't have the mobility, I lose all stability and I can't hit it. Yeah, when I was younger, I actually had a very long swing. Trying to, you know, hit it like John Daly, like strong and way overdone, and I couldn't hit it anywhere.

And he took one one smart enough swing coach Who to say, Hey, you know, you kind of just hit your growth spur. Maybe to put it in play and figure out if you can actually be good at golf. And ever since, I've had that three quarter feeling swing, so one of the craziest parts about golf.

Yeah, yeah, there's many ways to win golf tournaments, and if you're comfortable, you can do a lot of. You know you. You might be able to accomplish certain things, like if I do a drastic change right now. Tiger had the ability to go through those changes and maybe not have a good year, but then after that, one year go off.

Right, which I don't think anybody's ever really been able to do besides him.

If you're at the top of your game, it's not quite good enough and then you have to reinvent your entire swing from the ground up. It feels like taking a massive step backwards and you have to have confidence that it's going.

And even what he did again after his back fusion when he won the Masters. I mean, he was hitting it completely different to what he could do when he was younger, and he was still able to win the.

I was quite impressive to see a bit of the not really the old Tiger, but a bit of the the glimpse of the magic. Right? Yeah, yeah, but no, I mean, it's great to be a part of it and see the tiger effect on the golf course. But no, you know, I mean, I'm not really rooting for.

Both, it's a bit of both.

Yeah, what's the?

I wouldn't know how we see it. No, I think, ooh, it's tough to say.

I wasn't blessed with that, like, my right ankle just can't move and I. It would take me a while to warm up like I could play, but not at a high level. So my my routine before I get to the practice team might be a little bit longer than the average. But that's the things that you don't see on golf course for anybody, really.

Um, for golf, I'm pretty even throughout, like, uh, I think people, I spend more time putting that, I think people realize, uh, that's again. That's something you don't really see, you don't see what we're doing at home.

It's just hard to say.

Like, like, the numbers might not always reflect an improvement, how about that? If that makes any sense? No, that makes perfect, right?

So we have all these guys that that, you know, are full on stats and all. This guy last year was 155th and this year is 145th. He needs to keep working on this, well, maybe he is working on it.

You just have no idea, right, right? And then four years later, Bam, that same player's 20th doing something like, you don't know, yeah.

Yeah.

I got definitely scared when I came early on, like, I mean, Spain. When it comes to minors drinking, they're like, obviously you have rules, but it's not like the worst thing that could happen was they would just call your parents and maybe take you home, right, yeah?

It's about it right over here. If you're just holding a beer down the street, even if you're over 21, it can be an issue. You're on scholarship, yeah.

Mic's blah, blah, blah. I'm like, Jesus Christ, yeah, can you have fun in this country? like?

That was so the first few years I was very scared of of doing anything. And then you kind of learn a little bit and and and open up, right? But I also had the language barrier early on. Uh, trying to, you know, get used to a different culture, different. Let's say, and you know, unwritten rules about what you can or cannot say in conversation, right?

I mean, it's it's a lot to get used to.

I saw you driving a Porsche, maybe a Porsche.

I still have that now. Mercedes, luckily, they're, they're, you know, the sports cars have quite a bit of room. Yes, Germans on.

Cause things.

Uh, I was, I did. They weren't white pants, but they were like cream color, and you're not thinking of a see-through stuff. But it was on like the sixth hole, where I looked down and have black underwear and I'm like, Okay, you can clearly see the, but it wasn't. Then. You see other people on the group. I'm not paying attention. I look at somebody at one point party and I'm like, Well, he's got the same issue.

I think he had similar pants. Yes, the CBS was also following him very close. I mean, it's, it's what was it? 94, 90 plus percent humidity.

I mean, it's just kind of how we go. Yeah, it was insane. I wish, I wish we had, like, well, yeah, you could maybe change the nine, yeah.

And two minutes later is always it's going to be. You know, it's, you know, the sports. Their clothing's made for sweat, like when you're playing football, that's made for that basketball. The things like baseball as well, ours, they're not always. A lot of the brands are not made for that type of condition. Yeah, I'm saying, like, you've got.

I think it was a lot, oh, it was everyone, it was everyone. Um, all right.

Q-Zips, polos, hoodies. I'm wearing it right now. Um, can you rate my golf swing real quick? And then I think PFT has one last question. Well, Max Home is the swing raider, but you just tell me what you think.

Watch it, I've been working on it a lot. How long have you?

I piped it, Are you serious? You guys get the slow mo piped? You hear me say piped? Wait, this is serious.

Yeah, that's my swing. What do you think? That's set up is not your real set? Have you ever thought about locking your legs?

That's it Up is now your real set? No, it's not, it is. no, it's not.

I was born.

I mean, listen, besides the knee lock, which I still don't believe is true.

Everything else is good. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's just, yeah, I mean, that ball, you hit it good.

It goes straight high. Yeah, I mean, you're probably leaving about 40 yards over there in the tank, cause you know, you're refusing to use your legs or something. But besides that, no, it's on plane.

It doesn't.

Oh, yeah, this came up, I don't even remember it. Yeah, so I was wondering about it.

So you tweeted out in 2013, I'm going to win the Masters. And because you had a fortune cookie that said, like, your wildest wishes will come true. I was going to ask you if you thought about that fortune cookie and about that tweet. And thinking, like, you know, walking out the 18th at Augusta, think of yourself, I bet you I'm going so viral.
