We have an awesome show for the people we're going to talk about. UConn winning their sixth national title Monday night's National Championship game. A recap of our trip to the desert. And then we have a Masters preview with our good friend Max Homa, our good friend Brooks Koepka and our good friends Riggs and Trent. Little guys on golf to end the show, they were at Augusta on Monday, so they're going to give us boots on the ground take.

Dan Hurley is at the top of college basketball, the most dominant stretch in postseason play of any team ever. It was crazy, the best run of any team ever. I think we could say Uconn dominated everybody.

Exhausted, He got exhausted. And Uconn. They have great players and they are so well coached through this two-year run, where you saw right away it was clear. And Dan Hurley said this after the game. He was like, we were going to let Zach Giede get his points and we were going to let him score 20 30. He ended up scoring what? 37? did he score 37? I believe so.

We won by a lot again, yeah, and Dan Hurley also played some great defense on his own player. He just lost his mind. When he went on the court. He was like, I need Cam to move two feet on there, steps on, pushes Cam, and then he looks at the ref, like, What would I do? Why are you calling a foul on me?

Yeah, and we love Danny Hurley, I know he's not for everyone. We'll get to that, especially Greg Doyle, indie star. We'll get to that in a second. But I want to talk about the game, a couple more things. The team watching a team like UConn throughout this two-year run, and they lost 75 of their scoring from last year.

Against Uconn next year, Danny Hurley seems to have it all figured out. His son got in the game again. Andrew Hurley got in there. What's the record now? 43??

Was where I think Greg Doyle decided he was going to write his article because we couldn't see it, but he was sitting pretty close. And apparently Matt Painter was basically telling Andrew Hurley, Go ahead and shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot. And so Greg Doyle was like, Wow, that was a really classy move by Matt Painter. Greg Doyle also admitted that he was like, I don't watch a lot of Uconn. Is he always this much of an ass? DanNy HuRley Yes, that's what Danny Hurley does.

College basketball for the last three seasons. Yeah, pretty much that's what he did. He's like, is this guy always? is this his normal? Yes, that's what Danny Hurley does, but his players like him.

Don't forget the 2011 Fiesta Bowl, of course, they did go to a Fiesta Bowl. How many civil conflicts have you won? Yeah, that was when they, there was that little blip where they gave the Big East an automatic PCS bowl and they won that year.

But they went to a fiesta bowl. Yeah, just a dream run. Life is so good if you're that person.

Yeah, you want a crazy, crazy stat. Imagine just being told that you're better than everybody at least once a year. Yeah, and you just get like, there's, you're just like, Oh, I. Even if you never win another one, you had that run, yeah, that's insane.

Kentucky has eight, Uconn has six. It's crazy good. Good job Uconn. I'm happy for you, Danny Hurley.

Come out, yeah, that's just who he is. And he had a great, he had a great, uh, line when they asked about Kentucky.

A tremendous experience, very fortunate to be able to do those types of things. Third straight year and second straight year. Interviewing Dan Hurley on the court after he cuts down the net, Yeah.

Can we be honest about something, though? JAKE Yeah, critique me as much as you want. No, not you, not you.

A. D Yeah, it wasn't the best tournament, but like, it's still the tournament. Yeah, yeah.

It's gonna. The story is not the tournament this year, it's that Uconn went back to back. That's really what it is. Cause you, like, we didn't have, you know, all these moments that maybe we look back and be like, Oh my god, it was crazy, it was chaotic.

That much better than everyone else. Yeah, Zach Eady is like when you bought, like a a basketball video game when you were a kid. And you get to create a player, he's exactly the player that you would just like, a huge guy. And you're like, I'm going to make a dude that's going to dunk all over everybody and then you dominate, you're loving the game.

You, you can never feel good about losing the National Championship game, but I think if you're a Purdue fan, you can at least take solace in that. Like, what has happened in the last three years, you had a very like. You had an incredible run that made a lot of memories. Again, it doesn't. This doesn't help right now because it's still fresh, but it. If Purdue had began, if Purdue had not gotten to the Sweet 16, it would have been way worse. Yeah.

Him anymore? I loved it when he was yelling at people, when he was screaming at dudes hanging on the rim. Yeah, he showed a lot of fight, he didn't have that fire in years past.

He'll be drafted, for sure, he'll probably be drafted in the first round. Someone will take a shot at it and just be like, you know, see if we can work with this. We also had because it wasn't enough that all the women's former players or current players went after Kaitlin Clark. Draymond Green decided to chime in with. He said, He quit, he quit.

Quit a lot, yeah. And and also Eady was probably exhausted because he had another big man that was just leaning on him for an entire half. He wasn't used to having a big dude like that, just just pushing him around all the time, so you probably, I think he just got tired.

He got tired and no one made shots. Uconn's plan was, I mean, you saw it like they were just they're like, all right. We'll let him go one-on-one in the post in the first half and we will make sure they were face guarding. Everyone being like, you're not going to get the ball back.

Heidi made a shot. Awesome shot Heidi from nowhere. I have Heidi number one on my N.B.A. draft big board right now, just for that put back dunk, that was incredible.

Why wasn't that guy starting? Yeah, and Clayton did shoot a three.

It's crazy. Did you guys see the all tournament team? They announced it right after the game. Who's on it? Zach Eady?

Okay, oh, like, what if you put Zach Eady on on on Uconn? That was literally dominant, would they?

Be poor Alex Caravan. Yeah, yeah, the only starter.

Yeah, yeah, this is crazy, you'd never see that. Where it's just first team is literally.

It's like a castle was awesome. Yeah, it's like, when the Newton is he, Tristan Newton was, uh, like. He went to East Carolina, was not looked at at all out of El Paso, went to East Carolina. I think his coach got fired and then goes to UConn and wins back to back, uh, most valuable player in the in the final four.

I think five All-star start or not. Maybe not at the starters, but they had five All-stars, and for a period during the All-star game, they had all five. So it was a Pistons against the Western.

Conference All-stars Yeah, that was like the RIP Hamilton Chauncey Yeah, yeah.

Them started Wallace, Ben Wallace. I was thinking about this. Hey Sean, Yeah.

Okay, with that one, it was funny. Also seeing Bill Murray spooning with Jim Calhoun. Yeah, I think he's probably the only dude that could spoon with Calhoun without Calhoun punching him in the face.

Yeah, Luke Murray said that he's going to stay. Yeah, I feel like he would get a job, but it's probably so much fun. winning, winning, winning everything, winning all the time.

Wins a third in a row. Because right afterwards, right after the game was over, they immediately started saying, Yeah, I think we can win the third, and I think that they can. Uh, at that point they become Yukon women's team. Yeah, they're bad for about 10 years ago.

Shitload of money at Hurley. Yeah, although I think he's just, I think he's going to get a new contract, I mean, so we can talk about it. He's going to have to get a new contract.

He is, he does want to stay, I think he will stay. It's just about like if they offer him seven mil and then Kentucky comes in with like 12 mil. Yeah, I still think he would stay, though.

I do, I do, too. He, uh, so, so. Cal officially said that he's going to Arkansas. Uh, he posted the grainiest video ever, which was very funny, he also had.

Can you leave me alone? Yeah, it might be the most, I think it's the most SEC video ever. Yeah, and he's just he's using his dog as a shield against the media.

Video like this is actually for anyone who's has to leave a place and under weird circumstances like, maybe do the video and just don't have audio. First. Yeah, the worst, yeah, make it as bad as.

Possible, yeah. So he deleted, he re uploaded. He's not a one and done guy after all, and the new video is a it's crystal clear.

Billy Donovan kind of said he's out, Danny Hurley has sort of said he's out, so it looks like, maybe.

Scott True, Scott True would make a lot of sense. He did build that program from, like, less than scratch. Yes, he brought it back from the death.

Scott True is going to be the name, um, although again, it's college sports, so any coach saying.

They're out doesn't mean anything at all, you know, who hasn't said that he's out? Who patino? Oh patino.

Biggest regret when he came on the show? Yeah, Kentucky, Kentucky, Kentucky, he won so many there.

Although I love Pitino in the Italian league, yeah, it was good for the sport he's in the.

Italian Is Danny Hurley making the Big East less Italian? I don't know, he's got kind of.

Italian energy. He's shorter guy, fiery. Yeah, yeah.

It was really nice hearing everyone say four of eight, oh, oh yeah, Villanova, Yeah, cause where the where you don't get the four of eight without without the cat?

This has to hurt because it's just they have become what you were. Four of eight. Well, but then no, because they had a lull too. They won those two. No, I said, they have become what you.

Were, yeah, but but we're in present tense right now, correct? But we're, we're just we're going.

To get back, okay, bring it back so that that answers my question that he knows. They have become what they, what Villanova was, and that hurt, and now you have to deal with, you have to deal with.

Villanova Every year, you have to deal with old Villanova. Yeah, that sucks.

There was another thing on, like Nova Twitter, being like, Fuck cause. We 18 was like the the best team of all time. So now it's like, No, it's. It's tough statistically.

This is the best team of all time. You know what? The funniest thing is, the I think the highest Ken Palm rated team of all time was actually 99. Duke, who lost to you? Yeah, but that doesn't. I mean, no, I'm saying they beat the best team of all time.

The flip, flip, the flip. Oh yeah, they really want to get kimming. Yeah, we're going to have.

To do that, we will do that. But Cooper, it also is for America, Cooper, like I don't think Cooper Flag understands how much America is going to hate him at Duke.

Just flip Cooper. It also is crazy that everyone just keeps talking like Yukon, like three. They literally returned nobody, but like, they still have just as good of a chance as any.

As any, because they'll find someone and they'll return a couple of guys. No Dr is there. Six men's the only one who has any eligibility left. No, Tristan Newton definitely does.

I don't think, I don't know I was looking at a band, definitely does.

So you're, you're living in fantasy land, right? I don't know, I was looking it up online that.

Said that Dr was the only one that had any eligibility. Was you found someone who told?

You exactly what you wanted to do. Caravan's a sophomore, Caravan's a sophomore. Samson Johnson's a junior, Samson Johnson might come back.

Wrong Caravan's the only one I was wrong on. Okay, that's a Yeah, I mean, that's the fifth guy in there.

Going to come back, they're not going to what if. What? If the Nil has changed everything? No, the both of them are going to be top 10 picks. I'm just saying, what if the Nil has changed everything?

Nil money goes to Donovan Klingon. I showed him on the court, I showed him the picture.

Of the shirt, and he said, That's awesome. Well, I hope he had seen it, but he's seen it, yeah.

Also, Yeah, yeah, also a credit to Dan Hurley for crediting us, yeah.

That video, Jake, anytime he makes it, he's, he's welcome to come on and put that on a shirt, cash it in. Brother, brother, yeah.

Oh yeah, there's one other thing in college basketball a villa is in the transfer portal.

Yes, so yeah, but they're saying he's going straight to St. Louis to follow the shirts. Apparently, in the portal, you can put like a red exclamation point, which means you can't.

Contact the player so that means like, So why is he in the portal? Cause he's going to St. Louis.

You have to formally do it to transfer, but if you already know if you mark yourself.

You can't be re, you can't like that. I just wanted a couple of weeks of every team, just just thinking about the Vila Photoshops that could be out there. Yeah, would have been nice.

Uh, all right, let's do Hot seat, Cool Throne, Hot seat, Cool Throne, brought to you by our friends at Coors Light. From day to day annoyances to the big stuff life throws your way. It's easy to get worked up, but there's a better way, a chiller way.

Let's go one more one in the middle, make it a challenge. Home stretch starts now. Optimism can be hard to come by.

Little cute little pint glass. Here, you definitely picked the easiest one that you think pick a.

Number bitch, the last one, he said. Pick a number. This tournament we remembered for UConn's dominance and the calendar's dominance over PFT. All right, look away.

Got it? It's a koozie reversible sleeve. Knows that nothing celebrates a win better than a beer. It also knows nothing saves a loss better than a beer.

Enough for you, Max. That was pretty good. Yeah, that's right, that's right. All right. Hank, hot seat, cool throne.

Yeah, that video rocked and they were just mortified by looking at the ball sacks, but yeah, we were not in the the zone of totality. Is that what it's called the path of totality?

I would be down if there's like, a, you know, test dummy to get to the fourth dimension like.

I'd be the Christopher Columbus of that. Now. How do you know that that we're not in the fourth dimension, though you don't?

Maybe, maybe, I guess we'll find out tomorrow when he pots, maybe. This fourth dimensional hank is really good at golf tomorrow Mini Golf Open, so if we've, yeah, if I'm good, then maybe we're in the fourth dimension, right? Exactly. If you hit every hole in one, then we're. We were there for D.

Game And if you know anything about Max, he is very good at leading these trains. He did one for Darts Day, like three years ago, before he quit Darts, and, uh, he gets the people going, yeah.

Put on a show for you guys. It starts at four 30, get there at four 30. I'm nervous about people.

Coming on the train on everything, you're going to run a train on Pride night, okay, first hundred.

People get a free ticket to the game, it's a big game, Max is going to make sure people come.

Yeah, yeah, Max is going to make you come when he when he runs your train on Pride Night this.

Is a big moment for you? Max? I don't know, I don't like the city of Philadelphia is going to show up for Max. We'll be sitting in a box.

One of those batons overall, this is my. This is a nightmare, this whole thing you're going.

To do great, sweetie. But it's like one of those things where you say it's your name. I remember Low Key, it's like your dream drum line on Pride Night. You if you told 12 year old Max Salente that you'd be like, Oh my God, thank God, I made it. I just hope people show up.

Please free ticket to the game, Free ticket to the game. We're still fighting for that. Six seed pastors, one today. That was tough, but you know, two, two nights off and beetle definitely be.

Playing and beetle I'm just going to say it, and beetle definitely be playing nice.

Magic good, good basketball team, big win, gotta win on Friday night.

Let's go Max, okay, pft, your hot seat, cool throne. uh, my hot seat is every major league.

Baseball pitcher Because they've all got elbow issues and they're all getting Tommy John, they're all getting UCL injuries. How many? how many have there been this year? There've been? It feels like six quality starters that have, uh, that have gone on the DL with some sort of shoulder tightness. And I looked up the stat. Um, starting pitchers that throw 96 and a half miles per hour in a season from 2019 to 2023..

Everyone's obsessed with velocity throwing, it's so fucking hard. And the uniforms, and the uniforms.

Are an additional issue. But yeah, the list just keeps growing day by day, by day. My cool throne I'm going to put, so I'm going to switch it up a little bit. My Cool Throne is the master's app. We're going to talk to Max Home about it in a second.

Seat is a N.B.A. playoff strategy. So we had two things one, uh, someone on Twitter threw this out there that I just, I'm, I'm very interested in what you guys think, uh, he said. Is it legal for players to kiss as a strategy?

I think it counts. We talked about this on the show. Yeah, I think this was our idea. Oh.

So someone stole it from my old. Yeah, that's an old, all right. You just you remember the old.

Like, you've seen it in in like a like high school tapes where one player will get on the.

Ground like a dog, all right, so that's it, that thing, yeah.

Katie Is it a foul to make out with your opponent? No, I don't think so.

Is that? I don't know, we need to get a rule, probably. But I, I was like, this sounds vaguely familiar, but then it was from yesterday, so I was like, Damn, someone's. They're just stealing us from 2018, yeah.

Points. Do you think it was a double dunk, or you think the guy behind was trying to block the shot?

Uh, no, I I think it was so. Tory Craig went to throw it up off the glass to himself, and Andre Drummond thought he was throwing it to him. And they both tried to dunk at the same time and neither of them dunked. But I'm pretty sure if it had gone in, it would have been a double dunk. Four points. Yeah, it's hard to defend. Uh, the picture of them of Tory Craig just being like, What the fuck?

They might move on, though, or did they already move on? No, they have.

No, that's bad. Um, yeah, that's that's what he's dealing with. All right, my cool tour. I got two as well.

All this together, remember? Also for the guys that weren't highly recruited, remind them of.

That every day. KHALIl Mack Hey, people think you suck, right? He also when I asked Sam what this probably meant, and he said that. He just loves to rank stuff, loves to remind everyone. That doesn't matter where you started, we're all in this together. And then he said that, uh, Jim Harbaugh used to call, uh, he'd classify all the players at Stanford.

To games and eat the team meal. I think that when Harbaugh was making this list, when he was assigning all the different stars, all the players from their past, he probably in his head thinks like, all the players that were zero stars. Those are my core guys, yeah, like, I want 53 of those.

Guys on my team, yes, but the Chargers changes have started. Uh, all right, Jake.

Um, my hot seat is basketball fans. Oh, Janice, non-contact injury tonight, What's MRI I saw?

I saw some, uh, some unauthorized aggregator Twitter accounts posting this, they don't think.

That it's an ace in Achilles, they think it's a calf, doc, Rivers says. Post-game. His, uh, level of concern is high, but he's the honest. I think everyone probably feels the same way as I do, right.

Now, so we're just hoping or hope for the best the Bucks have had the season from hell, it feels.

Like, you have Doc Rivers as your coach, yeah, so we don't have many. Oh, hank, I mean, that was.

Had to be the only team you were even slightly worried about. That had to be the only team you're slightly worried about. Uh, never root for injuries. I mean, Pat Bev. They said he was going to be out for the season.

So yeah, Celtics are in the finals, pro football, Doc says. Probably not. ACHILLES Oh, okay, that's.

Good, it'll be fun. Calf is not good, calf's not good either, calf is not good.

My Cool Thrones, the Champions Dinner, it took place tonight. Oh yeah, and uh, Max, if you want to pull up the picture of Big Cat, I feel like this is kind of like the coach's.

Picture Light version, light version, light version. But they're all dressed the same.

But their smiles are different. Yeah, so what, what? uh, yeah, what stuck out to me was?

Immediately. Phil Mickelson Phil, if you zoom in on Phil, that's a man who, uh, I don't think he had much of an appetite for dinner. I think he probably, uh, yeah, he, he, he, he took his.

He's wide eyed, yeah, he's ready to go to a Florida Panthers game, He's very alert for this dinner, yeah.

Just like once a year, like in 50 years, yeah, but then we would have to invite Billy.

We'd also have to invite his 50 secret service agents. Yes, that's true. Yeah, we'll do that, we'll do that.

Fast, if Billy became president, would he just forget that we exist? No, he would arrest us. Yeah, he would have a podcast.

A mic Yeah, I, I also love John Rahm's facial hair in this. Yeah, he's got the white socks.

Dave Beard going on, Yeah, Tiger's looking good, fuzzy. Where's fuzzy, Zeller?

You really are a dimple head. No, I know he's not there, I'm saying, I don't know where he is.

Fuzzy Zeller is a lot, all right. let's go fuzzy. Good job, fuzzy, wow.

It's an old guy's name, all right. We're doing the image search right now. Okay, if nothing's going on, just bring up a lot of green jackets.

Let's say his name, No, it doesn't most likely to call his waitress sweetheart, that's true.

Partial sports Nick and I on the main feed, Yup, yup, and I. I want Hank to win hank.

For you, I do, too. I want a playoff. We haven't had a playoff in any of these. I want Hank to win.

We want drama. I want Hank to beat me in a playoff, that'd be good, I want Hank to be both.

Of us in a playoff, I just want a playoff, hank win. I just want Hank to win first, second, and.

Third place. Oh, thanks guys. Yeah, I wanted to be like Yukon, because then it would be like, you won, you beat us, you beat me in PFT in the in the three player playoff. And then when the top golf video comes out, it won't matter.

Right, good luck Hank, good luck Hank. All right before we get to Max, he's brought to you by part of my cheesesteak.

Okay.

No, okay, all right, that was in the headlines.

No, not you, not you specifically. But Scotty Scheffler said that he would leave if his wife goes into labor. So I just wanted to. We needed to make sure that you weren't going to leave at any point if you're leading the masters.

I think we're all sadly rooting for her to give birth a little early, the way he's been golfing.

Someone's going to send her some Thai food or something to speed it up.

Hey Meredith, you want to walk on this curb, one leg off to the side for us, please?

All right, so how are you feeling, Max?

Yeah, good, it's been great. I was waiting to tell you I'm playing with Brooks tomorrow in part three. So we're getting the pardon. My take vibes about as good as they come, so I think that's a really good start to the actual event.

That's great. I saw that you were paired with your childhood hero, Tiger Woods. I also saw that your screen name when you were a kid was next Tiger Woods, 59..

Yeah, I've gotten a lot of people, you haven't been one of them. Shockingly Pft. But I've gotten a lot of people saying, Oh, all the kids say, that's cap now, and they say, that's cap. It was 69 and I was like, Well, it was, and I am. I was like nine years old.

About as embarrassing as it gets, all right. So we got to, though. He's just a guy, we can't be a puddle around him, he's just a guy.

No, just a guy, just a guy. Just a really, really cool childhood hero of mine. But no, it actually has been easier. Since the first time I played with him, we've gotten to be a lot closer.

I mean, yeah, it was 69, 69.

Dude, Holy cow.

Getting the dick wet a little bit, you know? Oh, speaking of that.

God, I was soaked.

I saw the other news about Tiger Woods that he's not having sex leading up to this Masters tournament. Are you taking a similar route?

I mean, some days by choice, some days not, I guess I don't know who. Nobody cited their source there. But I'm not sure Tiger's got a friend close enough to him that would talk to the media. That were true. So I'm so confused by. I feel like some guy just asked somebody and said, Yeah, apparently Tiger's not having sex now. I don't know how you get close enough to him to know that.

Yeah, yeah, it was a weird story, I mean, we. Our only theory was that maybe his tiger's penis wrote that story. Cause, like, that's the only one who would know.

That might be like a classic N.F.L. smokescreen thing. Where Tiger has one friend that he thinks has run his mouth a little bit. So he only tells that one friend that story to see if it gets out. And now that guy's out of the circle.

I wonder if that it came out, and he's like, Oh, gotcha, bitch, he's like, Fuck, now the story's out. Should have come up with something a little less weird.

Yeah, damn it, that's a good point. Yeah, I didn't think about that one.

Max Kind of a weird question. You're a diehard Dodgers fan. If you get a text on Thursday morning from a number you don't recognize. And it's Shohei Ohtani, and he's like, Hey, I just put $4.5 million on you. When the Masters. Would that be more pressure or less pressure?

I mean, it sounds about on brand, cause he sounds like, I mean, if he was a gambling and he was down four and a half million. Putting all of it on me to win the Masters sounds right about on par, for lack of a better pun. Uh, that's been crazy. I mean, we, uh, we've been dumbfounded, enamored a little bit, just by how you can be that far in the hole. Even if it wasn't him. Uh, that's impressive in that book.

Yeah, it's. It is a fascinating story. And the Dodgers are a super team. So it's like, it's nice that they gave us this one thing we can make fun of when they win, like, 115 games this year.

Yeah, Joe said it best this morning, he goes. It's like bad world, perfect world would be if Shohei somehow got suspended and we still won the World Series, so he didn't. We didn't have to listen to how we, like, bought our team.

Yeah, so so. In terms of your game right now, I know you played last week, you usually don't play the week before the Masters. You you decided to this year. Uh, what was? what was that decision about? Why'd you figure? Okay, you know what? I won't take a break this year.

Great question, PFt. Uh. I typically sit at home and I try to get my golf game like as perfect as I can get it. And I noticed when I show up here, like, on a Monday, uh, you know, I'm just trying to hold onto it. When you're really just getting going Monday to Wednesday, you know, you're getting moving and seeing what's working and going. And checking out the golf course instead of just trying to be like a perfect robot of a golfer. So I felt like if I went last week, I'll get a bit more into like golf.

Max is doing, uh, holding up your name right now? great, I'm doing great. Disappointing. That was not a question for Christopher Valente.

But I'm doing a really good job over here, so I just wanted to know that the eight minutes I'm on.

The show once every like, four months. You are bad girl, not Mac. So if someone asks Max a question, it should be at me. Yeah, that is all I asked. Eight minutes.

Fair Point Um, you've been in the news a little bit recently. Max, Uh, you've had a couple, couple shots, uh, that have either hit a patron or come close to hitting a patron. The one last week was so funny, where the dude just fell over as he, like, I wish I could have.

Instagram. After I was like, Oh man, I would have really, I actually would have given a good laugh at that guy with that guy, uh, he, uh. A lot of effort. I don't know what the plan was.

He was doing a great job, he was trying to get out of the way and he. He obviously is not as athletic as maybe he once was and didn't realize the limitations of his body at his current age. And then just tumbled backwards onto the ground, but everybody had that guy's back.

Trying to track the ball. I think people appreciate effort. Yeah, sometimes you fail, but effort is important. Uh, and that guy had all of that.

Ever volunteering for, like, those two seconds? Yeah, I know I'm on TV space that you make, yeah.

Yeah, and he doesn't have Instagram, so every time they said it in the Instagram link, he has to say, I don't have an Instagram. He's going to probably download it, read the comments and be like, Oh, none of these are nice. I thought it'd be nice and jolly and fun.

Question for you, Max. So there's rain in the forecast on Thursday? We love we're, we're regular guys that just love whenever a plan gets canceled, period.

That's actually a funny question.

Yeah, because I is the master, so I'd assume it's maybe not like us, but like, I could. You could tell me I'm going on vacation and then be like, No, actually, it got canceled. I'd be like, Oh, awesome, now I can sit and watch nothing for three days.

I would say typically I'd be pissed because I would like to just get going, but this week's a bit unique. I have some of my friends stay at my house this week. So it's actually kind of fun not to be at the golf course. Where typically, we're usually just sitting in a hotel room trying to, you know, they don't baby proof hotel rooms, as you know, big cat. So you're just trying to have your kid not bump his head on something. So this week is a little different, being homes, not so bad.

I also have a dumb question Do you download the Masters app?

Hell yeah, yeah, okay, cool, it's like the best app ever for one week.

Yeah, so even though, even if you're playing in the tournament, you download the app, you can check in on people. You do like, do you actually like watch the Masters as a fan?

While you're competing in it, yes, absolutely. Uh, I guess.

Um, how tiring is Augusta? Because I all I hear about is, like, you, we we're watching on TV, we've never been. We want to go some year. But like people talk about, you know, the walking in the hills, it's a lot more steep than you realize. Is it actually? Like, after 18 holes, you're like, Okay, that was, that was different than a regular course.

Um, that's definitely a golfer thing to say, to make us feel better. But yeah, I mean, I don't know how the fuck Joe does it with the bag. Yeah, there's just a couple hills eight and 18, just I already walk, fucking weird.

Nope, nope, I'll go, I'll start first vagina.

Yeah, I mean, I got to pick, I just took one. Okay, I'll go second mouth, okay.

The 13th Okay, so we got to watch you on the 13th. Um, how is, uh, the gallery? Ben? Has everyone been behaving themselves?

But other tournaments is everyone won yesterday? Oh, in general, no, I started one yesterday. I couldn't. I couldn't believe he had the balls to do it at Augusta.

Just like, Yeah, how dumb do you fucking? Yeah, yeah, the funniest jokes are when you have to explain them, like for minutes and minutes, yeah.

Piece it together, like, it's a great, y'all came up with it. It's a great idea. But like the pervert, one takes like, eight levels of exploiting, yeah.

Anymore, right? I like the idea of a guy saying, like, standing and be like, I am a homosexual. And then the whole crowd looking at him and like, slowly breaking into applause, like, congrats.

I'm so proud of you at a Tampa two years ago. Guy on the 10th tee kid walks up, Dad and his son were standing next to him. He goes, Hey Max, I'm a homosexual and I and I like. nodded.

What a time to be alive. Yeah, we will laugh every time. Yeah, we'll reiterate, Uh, eight of those have to police each other.

Yeah, that's. That's a weird wrinkle to the story that the The Bookie issued a $4.5 million line.

Of credit to a guy that makes like 200 grand a year, maybe he was up a lot for a while. I don't know. Yeah, handshake agreement.

Expect this weekend from you. What are what's your goal? uh, goals? To win a game does feel.

Really good, uh, getting a little bit more comfortable. uh, I'm excited. Um, I don't know, I feel like something about majors gets you, uh, amped up. But I feel like I've done a good job of enjoying my week and trying to be myself a bit more and have a bit more fun.

I love that and I feel like you have come a long way from whatever. It was five, six years ago when I was like, can you win it? so? and I know you can win it now, like, I just.

So my favorite question I got to ask myself that every week, so I'm asking myself Thursday. I before I walked with T and say, Can you do this? And then I'm just going to. I'm just going to answer it, honestly, and I'm just very hopeful that answers, yes.

The get the swing and you've been playing great golf the last couple of years, you, you're.

You're ready to go, you're ready to go. I think I know now that on a good week, if I can, kind of, if things go the way, you know, they can go, I know I can win it. Which I guess is different than, uh, maybe a few years ago, where I didn't know if, like, my great golf was good enough, I don't know for a fact, my great golf good enough.

Just hope it's this week, but that's got to feel awesome. To be like, I know that. Like, if I just play to the best of my abilities, I can do this, that's that's a huge difference.

It's a big difference. It's a little bit more calming knowing that, like, it doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be good. And I've done that enough times to know. Um, I think it would be the pressure on Sunday.

To the nitty gritty, Yeah, I would love that, Max I. We might cry. we might cry if you win.

Yeah, I will cry with you guys. Yeah, well, you'll be. I'll leave the jar, yeah.

If you win, you'll be on with your green jacket on Sunday night. Yeah, I'll be incredible, I will.

Be, I have not been drinking like at all, trying to get ready for this whole part of the season. And I am really looking for an excuse to get White girl wasted. I'm ready for it Sunday.

Would be a great time. I'll cry, I'll cry and I'll get white girl wasted with you. Solidarity.

Okay, we're just hammering because max, max, one max. I got one last question rowback question R H O B A C k..com.

Only part The only part of the podcast I didn't like when you lashed out was that you said my joke wasn't very good, cause I thought it was good. You know what, I'm going to take CFT and do this thing, and then I was glad, Hank pointed out.

Yeah, no, he was right. I was an idiot. I can. I can read it here. This is, uh, this is during the game. Was it a halftime?

Send this to both of you guys. And there was only one person who could be mad in the moment because Wisconsin played terrible. And the other thing is that I didn't explain well, was it wasn't you? It was two people who it for my private life who texted me that I was very upset about that.

No, he's watching. I was talking to him the other day and he was, he was telling me about the game. And he said he was basically a personal security guard. Because he thought you were going to fight every Wisconsin fan in the building. Yeah, they didn't want any of this, though, but they're all talk.

That's also very funny Rosso to be like, I stepped up for it. That's Brazil's dream. He's like Mark Wahlberg in that moment, being like, Oh, I'll fucking, uh. It would have been different.

If I were there also Max, you can, uh, that girl, you can correct me if I'm wrong. We're still didn't step up to anything. Yeah, no, but he I I it is high back to guy down, yeah.

In his head, Yeah, no, that was, yeah, it was essentially, you know, it was essentially you. But I mean, there was the there was the initial interaction, and then it was funny. Just hearing Rosso be like, Hey, like, I know this is like, probably a little, little tough for you to hear.

But, like, he is a big deal.

Beefy Security Team No one's fucking, that's literally. Rosso goes to bed at night and he's like, I really wish that someone would step to one of my friends. So that all these squats I'm doing in my in my garage by myself are worth it. Like, that's his dream, I've got this running.

Running joke, but like a real thing, like when I'm, and it has nothing to do with. Like being like a golfer and not wanting to have to talk to somebody who might know me. It's more like when I'm in an Uber or I meet a stranger. At times, as they say, and you're in, like, close quarters and they ask you what you do. My running joke's been that I am a real estate agent because my is. So I know a lot about it, because I just don't want to talk about golf. I imagine that Priscilla's answer to that, if he does this, is a bouncer, because he wants people to think he's a bouncer.

I wish I could talk about this more. Yeah, yeah, it absolutely is what he answers. Or just.

Like something that everybody would hate, so that they try to pick a fight with him. Yeah, oh, that's actually a really good idea. Yeah, yeah.

Living Yeah, I'm a duke fan.

The big cats bet vibes rolling tomorrow. Yeah, I get this thing though, but thank you guys for having me on. What is a tradition? I love this.

Still suck, all right, see you Max.

Uh, one time Blake of the year, I think so, did you win Blake of the year?

I've got the goose. Oh well, we're doing the Green Jacket this year, then later the Mass, Yeah, we're going to do the Real Masters.

KoEPkA Our guy from Smash FC, No smash GC. Uh, Brooks, thank you for joining us. Uh, it is Masters week, let's just start here.

You this year, yeah, I think that's that's the big thing I need hank to to lay off. Um, feel good, man, feel really good.

It'll be a lot of fun. Need a little redemption? Yeah, so compare it to, uh, to this week last year, cause I think a lot of people didn't really understand that Brooks was back last year.

You're not best shape of my life, but yeah, I mean, I'm getting old man, dad Bob, it's in right now. Um, but yeah, I feel good. What was the best shape of your life? Uh, probably when I did that body shoot for ESPN or whatever, I lost like 30 pounds that.

Thought, But yeah, that was best shape of your life. You're not imposing nude shape, but you're imposing in. Would you do a would you do a nude body shoot only wearing the green jacket?

Oh, absolutely, that would rock.

Yeah, I saw a picture, by the way, of all the live guys, uh, Sergio treated. We're coming for that green jacket. When he says, we is it, you is it, where? where are you guys? Playing as a team? does he know that it's not a team?

It's not a team event right now. Um, yeah, I w I would like to win it. I'll throw my name into the.

Ring there. Yeah, I want you to win it too, cause not just cause I bet on you, but because you're a friend. And also you'd come on after and show us the tro or the green jacket, and that would.

Fucking rock, yeah. And but if you win, you have to give partial credit to Sergio, though.

Cause that's a We win for the league. I gave the weed to, Uh, PMT, oh yeah, that's the week.

We win. Yes, I like that, I like that. I so. Brooks, I saw you had a a piece in Golf.com. Uh, yesterday, maybe yesterday.

When you step up to the golf ball, like, I understand what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, when you step up to the ball, I get what you're saying.

Yeah, well, usually you're standing behind guys who are playing really slow, so it's like five and a half hours. You get what I'm saying, you get a lot of time to think.
