365: New Knees, Pebble Beach Preview & The Waste Management Hangover

We’ve officially hit a milestone—Episode 365! That means we have a full year’s worth of audio for you to binge (if you’re brave enough). On this episode, the mood is a mix of celebration and nerves as Matt prepares to go under the knife for his full knee replacement surgery the very next morning.

In this episode:

• The Bionic Leg: Matt talks about the high-tech recovery gear dropped off by Cobra Medical and discusses the timeline for his return to the links (Landmand or bust!).
• Tour Talk: We recap the chaos and "cultural experience" that was the Waste Management Open and look ahead to the 80-man, no-cut field at Pebble Beach.
• Halftime Hot Takes: The crew debates the Super Bowl halftime show—was it a vibe or a snooze fest compared to Prince?
• Tech & Trivia: Matt terrorizes the guys with creepy AI-generated videos, and we play a round of "Google Gemini" trivia regarding the most important dates in modern golf history.

Plus, we talk TGL failures, Disneyland horror stories, and give away some fresh Garson gear.

Year 365 And Live Show Banter

Matt 0:22

What is up, everybody? Welcome to another episode of the Chasing Daylight Podcast. I apologize for our tardiness. It's that guy's fault right there that's just coming to the screen. All my fault.

SPEAKER_07 0:35

All my fault.

Matt 0:36

Went off on the fellas last week about the audio issues, and Joe still hasn't figured it out.

SPEAKER_06 0:41

So I tested it. I ain't tested it.

Matt 0:44

But he'll go on whatnot. I see where I see where it it is. I see how it is. Anyway, welcome to talking about.

SPEAKER_06 0:53

I went on whatnot promoting the podcast.

Matt 0:55

No, I you know I'm just giving this shit. Stop it. Uh so thank you for tuning in, everyone. We really appreciate you being here. This is episode 365. We officially have we have more than 365 episodes because there's some two parters that if you go way back in the archives, but uh we now have a full year's worth of podcast. You could listen every single day for a year and enjoy our our voices. And you know what? I went back and listened to a couple of the episodes with Brian. It's there's some uh there's some good stuff on there. Car shows driving home from work, won't be able to comment much, but listening, let's go. Thank you, Bruce. Really appreciate that. Uh, no after show this week. Uh somebody is getting hacked up in the morning, and uh, so I decided uh I'm gonna uh do the editing tonight and get it ready to go out because the next 48 hours could be a little strange for me.

SPEAKER_06 1:58

It's gonna be a fun one for you.

Matt 2:00

Uh yeah. So I I had the Cobra Medical dropped off some devices for me today. Got this little device that I put my leg in and it lifts it and bends my knee for me automatically. I don't have to do it. Fancy.

SPEAKER_02 2:15

Oh wow, no blood clots for you.

Matt 2:17

Then I got a uh a radiator, uh, a portable radiator uh that hooks up, wraps around my leg. It's a a knee brace, and it's got cooling tubes that go through it and an ice bucket, and it pumps cold water through to keep my leg nice and cold.

SPEAKER_07 2:35

So keeps it swimming down or something.

Knee Surgery Plans And Recovery Tech

Matt 2:37

Yeah, yeah. So I'll I'll uh either be on that bending machine or I'll be on the the ice cold machine. So it's gonna be a walker. I get a walker, they're giving me one when I leave. Make sure you put the tennis balls on the legs, got my Garson grips ready for the handle. Yes, shut up, guys. You know, I was chatting with my mom. She had she had this surgery almost 20 years ago, and I've talked to a lot of people that have had it over the past couple weeks because I'm telling everybody about it just because I want to get as much feedback as I can. And like people who've had it recently, it's like, oh, you're gonna be so happy, blah, blah, blah, blah. People who've had it like 15, 20 years ago, oh, it's brutal. It's it's you know, you know, my mom's like, uh, you know, I I know you have plans to go back to work pretty soon, but uh, you know, you're probably gonna be in that walker for three to four weeks. And I was like, Ugh, I don't want to be on a walker for three to four weeks. And so the guy that dropped off the equipment, right? The guy that dropped the equipment off today, I said to him, uh, I said, Man, this is pretty freaking crazy, you know, this technology. And he's like, It's so funny, he's if you say that. I I go to drop this off of people's house that had the surgery, like this is their second knee replacement, because the other one they got 20 years ago, and they're like, Whoa, this is so much more advanced than what I did. I said, Yeah, I said, I'm concerned I was gonna be in a walker for a while. He's like, Nah, you'll be up and going around in five days. Like, yeah, that's what I want to hear.

SPEAKER_06 4:08

That's good. Try to pay McField, always bringing the bringing the heat.

Matt 4:13

Theoretically, if you lost a leg during this, knock on wood, do you think Callaway would make you a prosthetic putter attachment? I I yeah, I think they would. And you know what?

SPEAKER_02 4:28

Yeah, you gotta choose which putter head would you choose?

Matt 4:32

I'd have to go with the mallet for more stability, yeah. Yeah, you'd have to go with the big one for sure. Go for a zero, zero torque, big head. Yeah, you don't need that head swinging around violently while you're walking.

SPEAKER_06 4:43

The least amount of torque is possible when I'm holding the old lab original satellite dishes.

Matt 4:49

That ping putter that we saw. That thing had a horse hoof size to it. Yeah, so hopefully all goes well. I'm at home on the couch, chilling, watching curling, because apparently that's the only fucking thing on the Olympics right now is curling. God damn, three days in a row of non-stop watching people throw granite on ice. I mean, I love our friends to the north, but good lord, could we get something else on, please? Besides hockey, that's like hockey.

Dan 5:23

That's like you know, the only excitement when Olympics.

Matt 5:28

I mean, that I like I like the downhill jump, the long jump, you know, that's fun. I like watching them crash. I like the downhill. I like watching them crash. I've been sharing videos with yeah, I've been sharing videos with Dan about all the knees that are getting destroyed on the on the ski slopes. Yeah, right. Brutal accidents. Joe's like, I'm not watching.

SPEAKER_06 5:49

I yeah, I didn't use guys were saying, use guys were saying it was going the wrong way, and I was like, I'm not watching that. I well, I saw enough of that shit in my skateboarding days back in the day, and I just can't handle it as an old man anymore. Can't I just feel it now? When I see that shit, I just feel it, and I'm like, and I think about it for an hour that it could happen to me, and I'm just like, I don't need that in my life.

Dan 6:11

Think about it for an hour.

Matt 6:15

All right, uh, a couple orders of business here. First off, I want to say much love to Garz and Golf. Gars and Golf. Go get you a Garson, use our code Daylight15 when you check out, save yourself some fun. It's uh yeah, we got the bag of trips right there. We'll be pulling a name out of that later on receiving to give away a Garson grip or towel or cheese or whatever is in there, or it goes comes up with something else. But please visit the Garson website. Uh, we've had a lot of people go on. Uh with chatting with Andrew, he said that a bunch of people came up at the PGA show. Uh, they've they're in, they're going to the New England show. They are in Toronto, they're absolutely killing it. They're out there doing some amazing things. So go get you a Garson, use our code, save yourself some money. Another thing, I want to thank uh Jonah Mitro. If you didn't listen to the Precision Pro episode we had him on last week, do yourself a favor, go back one episode, check that out. It was a fantastic talk. Uh, it's always fun when we have guests that like to chat. And Jonah, oh yeah, Jonah loved to talk, and it was fun because you can just you know plug in the idea and he just runs with it. And he had some great ideas that he was bringing up, and it was a fun conversation.

SPEAKER_06 7:33

He's a golfer, he's a golfer. Golfer, yeah.

Matt 7:35

So we learned a lot about the products, the brand, uh, their you know, ideology on how they're doing business. It was a great episode. So uh if you're you know looking for a range finder, a couple people on whatnot said the pod almost got him buy-in. I don't know what else it's gonna take. And we gave away a free$300 range finder in that episode, just just for checking out the live. So yeah, that'll that'll should be here Friday for uh uh Tefasian. So he's I know he's excited about that.

SPEAKER_06 8:07

Matt 8:09

Wow, yeah, got his address that's all shipped off, and so you know, good for him. Oh, received my Garson. Looking forward to draining some putts. Congrats, Steve. Which one did you go with? There's so many you can choose from. Good heavens. I've got just a few, just a few on my putters. Yeah, so I did a big cleanup in the shop.

SPEAKER_06 10:00

Uh better, yeah.

Matt 10:02

Okay. See, Mike knows his shit.

SPEAKER_06 10:04

Better.

Matt 10:05

Yeah. All right. Uh, so some of the things we can chat about this week. We got the Super Bowl, took place over the weekend. I'm sure everybody is aware about that. Uh, the Raiders got a new coach. Thank you. The waste management was uh another shit show. Uh Goderup got the win, though. Congrats to him. Uh, there's the 80 players in a no-cut event at Pebble Beach. No cut event at Pebble Beach. Interesting. Four days of golf out there for everybody. Uh, the there was a hole in one for the first time ever on TGL, and nobody saw it.

SPEAKER_06 10:41

Yeah, that was big. It was big.

Matt 10:43

I got my knee surgery tomorrow. Uh, Patrick Reed is on a bender right now. Dude is first, second, first in his last three events on the deepest. East in the Middle East. Yeah. Uh Kepka did not fare so fondly at uh the waste management. He even switched to a spider putter, which was shocking to see. Uh, I know he switches putters a lot, but he's been a Scotty Trillium type player for a while. So that was crazy to see. Uh, I got a little trivia on some important dates in the modern golf history, and uh I guess the some of the odds for Pebble Beach this weekend. So Dan, you played some golf this weekend. I did. Jeremy was in Disneyland. Joe, Joe just we don't hear from him.

SPEAKER_06 11:33

Joe was working for the Super Bowl.

Matt 11:35

We see Joe Tuesday nights, and then we never hear from him all during the week. He'll respond to a text thread like six hours afterwards with a lol.

Dan 11:45

Joe gets out once every two months these days.

SPEAKER_06 11:48

I know. Super Bowl, man. Super Bowl was tough last week. I was also undergoing renovation at work, so it's just been last week. It was like really rough at work. I worked nine nine or ten days straight, which I haven't done that in a very long time.

Matt 12:02

So that's that's a lot of work.

SPEAKER_06 12:04

Yeah. But that's Super Bowl, you know, it happens every year.

Matt 12:07

We did five days in a row at Callaway and I was wiped. Man, I was I was just done by the time it came in. It was we were all over the place, but selling a ton of gear. And uh that's that's always a good thing. So but I don't have to work for weeks, three weeks now.

SPEAKER_06 12:27

So I mean we said this one is a winner. Anthony was a winner on one of the giveaways.

Matt 12:33

Yeah, that was his first time tuning in. That's right. Awesome. Glad you got it.

SPEAKER_06 12:37

You're welcome, homie.

Sponsor Shoutouts And Listener Giveaways

Matt 12:39

Got uh any idea what you're putting it on? Yeah.

Dan 12:46

Yeah, he kind of choked it there.

Matt 12:48

Dude, uh, do you think the the fans got to him?

Dan 12:53

Um, no, I don't think as a professional golfer, you can't you can't say that because you got jackasses at every tournament, especially there at waste management.

SPEAKER_07 13:02

Yeah.

Dan 13:03

Um, I think you know, it's just bad timing. You know, he he wasn't playing all that great on Sunday, and he just just picked a bad time to hit the bunker and pull it left on 18 twice, twice ago. His fairway stats.

SPEAKER_07 13:19

Yeah, that was bad. No problem for Srixon.

Matt 13:22

One for 18 or one for thirty fourteen, yeah. Oh, he hit two? Oh man, not good. That that did certainly did not uh help Srixan with the the driver sales. Right. Whew man. Uh let's see. So Anthony is putting that on a ping answer. My first putter's going on was hand me down from my grandfather. Oh, nice. Very nice. Right. Yeah, that's cool. That's always fun. Yeah. All right. So uh I watched, I didn't watch a ton of the tournament. Uh we had a like I said, work was crazy, and you get the replays at night and catch the end of the tournament, and then they replay the end of the tournament uh or end of the day. So I you know, come home, catch the last hour, and then the repeat is the same last hour later, so it's kind of tough to get into a flow of it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 14:18

I wanted to watch because I've actually played there, so yeah. Um it's I I just couldn't much. Um but what I did figure out though is like I have played there, if you guys didn't know. Um and a lot of that front, like a lot of it I don't even remember. Like I remember the ending, right? Like that's obviously what most people remember there, but like a lot of it was just like where are they at? And I'm pretty good at picturing where they are on the course, and I was like, like one I can remember, and then two I kind of remembered, but then after that I was like, where are they? Because I like knowing where if I played the course and they're playing it, I want to I want to be able to visualize where it's at.

Matt 15:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 15:02

Um, but yeah, it was yeah.

Matt 15:04

That's super easy to do around Tori because you know those holes are so you know like two, three, four, or not three, because but two, four, five, they kind of all look the same. You just gotta tell which side the ocean's on to figure out which direction they're going.

SPEAKER_06 15:22

True, yeah, yeah.

Matt 15:23

Uh, but yeah, I was curious what your thoughts for now that you've because this is the first time it's when did you play it?

SPEAKER_06 15:29

I played it last summer, right?

Matt 15:30

Yeah, yeah, this is the first time you saw it on TV since you played it, right?

SPEAKER_06 15:34

Yeah, yeah. I mean, and obviously I didn't play with the stands up, so it's a little different. Um that that that part three is looks so different than it does on TV if you don't play with that stands. It's ridiculous. It doesn't look like anything like it. Uh I was hoping to see some of uh 14. I didn't catch any of the 14th hole. Um because that was my favorite hole out there, I think. 14 was yeah, I think I think 14 is I mean, maybe not the most like the coolest hole, but I think it's like the best designed hole out there, I think. 14.

Matt 16:11

Yeah, you don't see a lot of that on T. Well, I mean occasionally you do, but you with the par five behind it, right? Yeah, they're showing that more than anything else.

SPEAKER_07 16:18

Exactly. Yeah, yeah.

Matt 16:20

But that I think it was, was it two? Was the hardest fairway or the hardest playing hole of the week was two, and it's like let's see some more of that. You know, I want to see what's see guys had have to hit tough shots.

SPEAKER_06 16:35

Yeah, it looked great though. I mean, the course looked great.

Matt 16:38

Oh, it looks gorgeous, it looks pure as hell. Uh Goder have got the win, it's second win already in his young career. He's a masher.

SPEAKER_06 16:47

Uh he had four wins. I saw something the other day. He's taking his four wins.

Matt 16:52

Is it four or maybe two this year?

SPEAKER_06 16:55

He's like this year, he's like tied for like third most in the past two years. Scotty. Yeah. I mean, just talking about his swing way back. Yeah, dude.

Matt 17:06

Dude, he he cranks that knee in, and it's crazy the speed he gets. It looks like Jack a little bit when Jack at the top of his swing without it going so far past parallel. But I mean, the way he's torqued and twisted, it's he got a lot of power. Yeah.

Waste Management Recap And Goderup’s Win

SPEAKER_06 17:23

Daily jack. Yeah, he got that club's way back here, too. Yeah, like one of those sign guys. Yeah, he's got that bit.

Matt 17:33

Yep. Yeah, so after after the waste management, we had the Super Bowl. Um, what a snoozer that was three quarters.

SPEAKER_07 17:45

That was a dad.

Matt 17:46

Good lord. They said this the guy that came out there streaking had more yards than the Patriots did.

SPEAKER_06 17:51

Yeah, it was at least towards the end, there was a chance to make it a game. It just too late. That interception. There was a chance. I had the over, so when they went for that two-point conversion, I was like, oh, I'm fucked. And then when they pulled that that walker on a flag, I was like, Alright, I needed that, I would have won my bat, but yeah, not the best.

Matt 18:19

Uh bad bunny halftime performance thoughts. Everybody's talking about that too.

SPEAKER_06 18:25

I think he had it, I think it was a great performance. Not my style, not my music. Um, I think he told a story, a really cool story. Production was really good. Production was great. Um I think I think there was a cool story there. Um, but yeah, I mean, for me, it's it's definitely not up there in the top. It's it's Prince and then Dr. Dre for me, probably.

Matt 18:49

Well, they were showing on I was scrolling through TikTok the other day, and they were showing all the halftime performances going back to like 1985. It was like Mickey Mouse is up there singing, and with the you know, it's just this like horrible, horrible show that you know, then slowly it starts turning into entertainment, you know, and and the big stars. But yeah, it's I I don't know if you're ever gonna make the majority of people tuning in to watch the Super Bowl happy.

SPEAKER_06 19:21

No, you won't, yeah. I mean, last year nobody won't have half the world wasn't happy either, you know.

Matt 19:25

So oh yeah, of course.

SPEAKER_06 19:26

And the year before. I mean, it's just I mean, it's that's me. Like, I did not like the pick. I didn't I didn't want to watch Bad Bunny on the Super Bowl, but you know, I'm gonna watch and I'm gonna watch it for what it is, and if it's good, I'll tell you it was good. I couldn't understand anything he was saying. I don't listen to him, but I think the production was great. And uh he told a cool story. I mean, dude came up out of nowhere and he's a Grammy winner. I think you should appreciate that.

Matt 19:52

But it has a beer good vibe, but not good for football, I think. I could agree with that.

SPEAKER_06 19:57

Yeah, I I just wish Kanye didn't go crazy. Kanye went way too crazy, and dude, he has stadium anthems, and that would just kill, but there's no chance in hell he's ever gonna get it. And it would it would be so good.

Matt 20:14

No, that'll never happen.

SPEAKER_06 20:16

Yeah. Power, fucking all of the lights, he would kill it, but yeah, he's never gonna get it.

Matt 20:23

No, it's uh it's gonna I'm surprised they haven't like tried to get Taylor Swift to do it just uh you know as popular as she is. I I'm not saying that's what I wanted.

SPEAKER_06 20:35

She'll do it one day.

Matt 20:37

I don't know. I don't know who's gonna who would go out there that would get you know, I'm not saying everybody has to enjoy it, but enough that it's like Prince. Prince was great. It was it was great, it was a great show, and you know, there wasn't any political shit behind it, and that I remember at least, and uh, you know, need some more of that.

SPEAKER_06 21:00

Yeah, um, you you Brandon. Um, but the the thing is, is like I feel like the Super Bowl time halftime show has changed too. Like it used to be like you knew they were classic people that people were gonna always love, like Michael Jacks and the Prince, and now it's changing into like what is you think is gonna become a classic artist. You know, it's not does that make sense?

Matt 21:25

Yeah, not the legend, it's the hey, this guy is exactly, exactly.

Dan 21:31

Yeah, I think they might get to a point where maybe they'll have like a couple of artists, you know, like you know, like a few years ago they had uh they had um like Drake Haga was there, and pretty much Martin was there. West Coast, West Coast, you know legends pretty much. But I bet you you get like some some like crossover ones, like you have like a major country star, like a hip hop star. You know, that's I don't know if you've noticed or not, but you can tell like a little bit of a little bit of country and hip hop have been kind of meshing a little bit. You got some songs out right now that on 975, your local radio, that are country music and that's like a hip hop station, you know. So you might you might go that way, you know, especially now that Post Malone, you know, like he's he's hot in countryside and you know he's had a pretty good pop slash hip hop rap career or whatever. You know, you might at the Grammys post Malone, I think he build it. Post Malone's great. Yeah, post Malone is great.

Matt 22:33

He's one of those guys that you know everybody can get because he can do such a variety of music. Hey, we're a golf podcast.

Dan 22:40

Yeah, we are. We're talking music. We are a golf podcast.

SPEAKER_03 22:43

Uh so that would be good.

SPEAKER_06 22:46

How good would this be, honestly, though, for the halftime show too? Because these guys are absolute legends. I got two of their vinyls right here.

Dan 22:53

Oh, outcast would be sick.

SPEAKER_06 22:55

Outcast would be sick.

Dan 22:59

It would have to be like, yeah, say it would have to be it played in Atlanta just to just to top it off.

SPEAKER_06 23:05

I could see that happening though.

Dan 23:06

Yeah, yeah, it'd be dope.

SPEAKER_06 23:11

All right, let's see. What do we got? Red Hot Chili Peppers would be great too.

Super Bowl Takes And Halftime Debates

Dan 23:16

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen chili peppers one time in concert, and I did not enjoy it.

Matt 23:24

Oh, where did you see it, Matt?

Dan 23:25

They were very blah, I will say that. I saw them at the Thomas and Mac actually. It was uh red-eyed chili peppers and stone tuple pilots. Um Stone Touple Pilots were incredible because, but you know, that was that was Scott Wyland on heroin, so he was all over the stage.

SPEAKER_06 23:39

One of these like an iration revolution, like collab kind of reggae halftime show would be cool.

Matt 23:49

What was uh Scott Wyland's other band?

Dan 23:53

Um my drawn Velvet Revolver, yeah.

Matt 23:58

Saw Velvet Revolver at the joint, and we waited like 60, 65, 7 a little over an hour for them to come out, and then people just started leaving. Like, yeah, he's probably all fucked up, not coming out. Yeah, yeah. So mad because I wanted to see that such a good that venue was so good. We did get a question. Uh, did you guys pick up any new golf accessories or equipment recently?

Dan 24:24

I besides besides the precision pros, not me.

Matt 24:28

Yeah, not me. I I did find my uh uh sheep ranch uh valuable bag. I thought that was lost. I was rearranging the garage and found it in a golf bag.

SPEAKER_02 24:44

That's one thing I wish I would have bought on our trip, but I'll make sure to do that next year.

Matt 24:48

Yep, I have one. It's it's got the uh the plaid uh material on it, and it's got the sheep ranch logo on it, and Seamus. And I was so bummed because it's full of VGNTs, and that was my go-to teabag, and I've been lost without it, but it's back.

SPEAKER_06 25:08

Matt 26:30

A year ago, this guy would have never touched the Scotty Cameron putter. Nope. You'll have to prime in them.

SPEAKER_06 26:35

I sort of win in them for free on whatnot.

Matt 26:38

You have to pry my protein out of my dead cold hands. And now it roars putter hasn't seen the light of day.

SPEAKER_06 26:45

No, I d I played it last time. I've played the Pro Platinum a little bit. Yeah. Uh no, I I'm not a stuff a stalker. I or a hoarder. I I appreciate the old stuff. Because those are all pretty old. Besides the chance choice, but um they're older. And uh if you find them super cleany boys, then I was gonna flip them all into a long necked terillion. Yeah, dude, so I forget who it was. Somebody had a long necked terillion. I think it was I think it was Lakeside or Coach K and Jay. And that was that was close.

Matt 27:23

Anthony said that's sick. I recently found a brand new in the wrapping Taylor made R11 using a beat up one now that works great. And the new one is backup when everyone dies out or explodes. Nice, that's always good.

SPEAKER_06 27:35

I was I was hunting for clubs yesterday, and uh this is a funny story. I was like looking around and there was a stealth two, right? It said$135 uh used and it was still pretty clean. Uh no dents. I mean, the bottom was scuffed up, and then there was a stealth right next to it. Obviously stealth one, and it was 250. So I was actually texting payment failed. Uh I was like, should I get this? I mean, what do you what do you think? Blah blah blah, you know, because I don't need a stealth two. I was gonna sell it on whatnot.

SPEAKER_07 28:07

And um six plus nine.

SPEAKER_06 28:10

Okay, you can go out there and figure it out. Six plus nine is fifteen, dude. Um but it was one thirty-five, so I was like back and forth, and I went and asked, Do I have any credit on my account? I had 10 bucks, so I was like, all right, at least I get rid of the tax. So I'm sitting there with uh I think his name's Charles. He he works at the Golf Galaxy down in Henderson now. He was at Fiveiron when we when we used to play all the time. Um but I was there for 40 minutes. They were they were scanning it and it wouldn't come up, and somebody came over from Dick's or something and put a MLS soccer ball tag on there. Oh I knew it was too cheap, it was way too cheap, but yeah, I didn't get it for 135.

Matt 28:54

Yeah, with a two and seven less than the one, yeah. Something's alright.

SPEAKER_06 28:58

Yeah, every everybody was out there doing some payment failed shit, you know. But it's alright. That's too funny.

Matt 29:07

No, I I will have some new gear once I get back because I'm definitely putting the five wood and the seven wood and the quantum in the bag a hundred percent. Probably gonna switch to the quantum hybrid 100% because it is really good, and the driver. So three wood. I uh I still need to get better hitting the three wood, but that quantum five wood and seven wood are special, man. They are special.

Dan 29:36

Are you doing the titanium?

Matt 29:38

No, I don't think I'm gonna do the titanium. I I was hitting I hit the triple diamond pretty good, but that's still you know not in my wheelhouse. Um, although with this new swing that I'm working on, I I was really impressed with how I was hitting the ball Saturday. Uh but yeah, I think I'm just gonna go quantum. I'm I'm not gonna try and do anything crazy. Uh they they just announced, well, they didn't announce it. What happened was the titanium and the mini were in play at Pebble Beach practice round. So yeah, of course.

Sorry. I know it sucks.

Dan 45:45

You have to go to Disneyland.

SPEAKER_06 45:47

No, I don't, I don't think we are going to Disneyland. I'm just kidding. I don't know. I don't want to go to Disneyland anyway.

Matt 45:54

But you should have just gone with Jeremy this past weekend. It's the happiest place on earth, bro. Yeah how happy was it, Jeremy?

SPEAKER_06 46:00

Oh, dude. Everybody, nobody had a smile on their face. Dude, it was cracked. So packed.

SPEAKER_02 46:07

Especially Saturday was awful.

Matt 46:11

We thought we thought we were gonna be smart, and when the girls were in elementary school, they went to year-round. There's that weird time where Nevada did or Clark County did year-round schools. So we're like, oh, we'll go to Disney World in December while school's still in, and the crowds won't be as bad. No, just as crazy. Just as crazy. It was a Tuesday night in downtown Disney in Orlando, and it was like a three and a half hour wait to eat at the Rainforest Cafe. And I talked, I just talked to this one guy, and I'm like, is it is it like this all the time? He's like, Oh, this is non-stop. We're like this 24-7. This is non-stop. I'm like, Jesus Christ. Crazy. Yeah. Hard pass. I was not happy at Disneyland at all.

SPEAKER_02 47:00

The only thing that I look forward to at Disneyland is the turkey legs. And I ate like four of them.

SPEAKER_08 47:06

Yeah. It was so good.

SPEAKER_02 47:10

You walk by one of them, you're like, oh man. And they're not easy to eat either, man. They're just like you take a shower after, it's just horrible. Yeah, it's a whole procedure.

Matt 47:20

I used to see people eating them all the time at the drag races out at the speedway. And it's like, it's like you just hacked off a you know, just rip it off of Daniel. It's a mess. Yeah. My family has Disney Timeshare been 18 times. That's 18 times too many. Oh my goodness, that's way too much. Coming to Vegas for the birdie gang tourney revere, my first time in Vegas. Any recommendations? Uh for what? Recommendations for what? Food, uh, golf.

Dan 47:52

Chinatown. Chinatown, yeah. Go to Chinatown. You can get anything in Chinatown. Food, rub and tugs, whatever you're into.

Matt 48:04

Uh, I would go back to Disneyland if they had a day where strollers were not permitted. Like if you gotta pay an extra 75 bucks to go on this day, but you can't have a stroller. I'd be okay, let's do it.

SPEAKER_02 48:18

Yes.

Matt 48:19

The strollers are ridiculous.

SPEAKER_02 48:20

It's not funny to see all the stroller parking lots in there.

Matt 48:23

Oh my god. And the fact that people can bring in those like ones that fit four kids and push those around and act like it's a single stroller for one kid. Like, good lord. It's insane. So all right, so that covers my knee. Do we do we do we even want to talk about TGL? I'm I'm like over TGL already. I'm I'm Joe, you want to talk about TGL? I know it's your favorite form of golf.

SPEAKER_06 48:50

I didn't, I mean, I didn't watch anything. I mean, and I had no idea uh Neil Neil Shipley was even playing TGL. So I just I I don't I I enjoy it. If it was at 6 p.m. on TV, you know, on a Monday, Wednesday, Tuesday, and I happen to be on ESPN and not watching fucking some some shit. Uh I don't want to watch. Um I just don't think they do a good job at consistency.

SPEAKER_02 49:22

Who got the hole in one? Shipley. Okay. Yeah. I saw a video of the celebration with him.

Matt 49:28

I assumed that was what it was, but oh yeah, that was that was almost as bad as the missed high five with Tiger and Stevie Williams.

SPEAKER_06 49:36

Yeah, they don't do a good job at the times or promoting it well. No. I mean East Coast maybe, but West Coast gets no love on that.

Sim Golf, Weather, And Range Ball Economics

Matt 49:48

Yep, Charlie Woodley. I didn't see that. Verbally entered an agreement to play golf at Florida State, made Cyrus happy. Oh, look at him. You're just saying that because he's from Ohio State. Stop it.

unknown 50:01

Stop it.

Dan 50:03

Did you guys see Tommy Fleetwood's stinger driver on that one hole where you have to hit it under the cliff? That red rock one. That was launched at two degrees. His launch angle was 0.0. Yeah. It was like seven feet off the ground, and he hit it like 310 yards.

SPEAKER_06 50:23

Gosh, dude.

Dan 50:25

Yeah, it was fucking sick.

SPEAKER_06 50:26

Wow. I I don't know how I feel about them making the game, the the the holes more gimmicky game style. The holes are lame.

Dan 50:37

The holes are fucking lame.

SPEAKER_06 50:38

They really are. But it also makes them have to hit shots, which is kind of cool, but yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 50:45

Not shots, it's a simulator. It'd be cool to see real courses. Like pick a pick the best hole from Cypress Point. Or I mean, even though they probably can't even license some of the courses, but I think that would be more interesting. They can.

SPEAKER_06 51:06

Tiger and Rory. I mean, I mean, they could probably do whatever they want. But also that architect that's been designing them, uh, what's his name? Jose.

Matt 51:16

You always forget.

SPEAKER_06 51:17

He does some cool shit. He does some cool shit. He's a Mexican.

Matt 51:21

They look cool, but it just it's not golf to me.

SPEAKER_06 51:24

It's just no, he does cool shit. Like like he has like a par three course that he designed for Mexico City that's got like six greens, but there's like 18 holes or something like that. So like he's really sharp in thinking about ways to creatively put golf together. I'd like to play one of uh Jose La Pizza? P Lapiza golf, something like that. But uh yeah, he's a he's a good architect.

Matt 51:51

Hey, I just want to let everybody know right now there's 22 people in the giveaway. That's awesome. Thanks, guys. Yeah, haven't that that's a good number. That's a good number. They actually agreed. They have to do the corny holes, play actual good courses. Thanks, our burbs. You guys like simulators, never tried one. Yeah, never tried one. Wow, they have their purpose, I feel like. We've got a free trip to Reynolds Lake for playing simulator golf, so yeah, yeah. It's on the positive side of things for me, but I mean it doesn't replace real golf. Range balls suck, so it's tough going to a range and hitting crappy range balls, but I would still rather be outside hitting off grass than getting into a mat. Correct.

SPEAKER_06 52:44

Yeah, I mean, half the country is like too holdy and be outside. So yeah, I mean it makes sense in certain situations.

Dan 52:50

Did you guys did you guys hear about those two indoor courses that are getting built? It's a nine-hole thing, but I I heard there's two different two different things about that.

Matt 53:00

Yeah, a domed nine-hole course.

SPEAKER_07 53:03

Yeah, yeah, that'll be cool.

Matt 53:05

Hey, couple more, a couple more levels, a couple more levels of of uh levels of seats and a roof, and the 16th at waste management is a is really close to being a dome. A couple more levels up there, they can throw a roof on that thing, you know, really make it what they want TGL to be. I want one for my garage so I can play when it's crappy, but I can buy a lot of range buckets for the price of a sim. Yes, you can.

SPEAKER_06 53:35

Even though it's getting harder, the the prices are going up on range balls, which is range ball prices are going crazy, ridiculous. You might so at some point you might be better off just buying like a cheap dozen and just hitting them, you know, and just giving them up. You're no nuts.

Matt 53:54

You go into the range with two boxes of uh you know refurbished pro v1x refurbs from target.

SPEAKER_06 54:00

Get rid of get rid of all your max fly triflies from whatnot. Just fucking donate them to the range in your local course.

Matt 54:08

Yeah, absolutely. You gotta have them. You'll never run out of balls again. We got our buddy Mike up in Wisconsin. He's ice fishing right now, so of course he needs one. My buddy Pat is in Boston, he plays sim golf every week, so yeah, gotta have them.

Dan 54:23

Yeah, when you're in shitty climate, stuff like that. Yeah, they're there must for sure if you want to continue to play golf. But you know, we're lucky enough here where we don't have to worry about that. We get to play golf any every fucking day. Also, it's been very lucky, like travesty.

SPEAKER_06 54:37

Great weather in Vegas, it's been crazy good lately.

Dan 54:40

Yeah, it's been like 70 all week. It's fucking nuts.

SPEAKER_06 54:43

We have only had like one or two weeks where it's been cold.

SPEAKER_07 54:46

It's crazy.

Matt 54:47

Yep, yeah. Uh Kyle motherfuckers gonna have to start running range balls on whatnot. Get a bunch of balls on whatnot.

SPEAKER_06 54:56

You get your money back.

Matt 54:59

That's what you should do, Joe. Go buy book, go buy some key fobs from Legacy and sell them on whatnot. Oh, too funny. Red spauldings scattered across range.

SPEAKER_07 55:14

Yeah, yeah.

Dan 59:43

Could have been a president's cup.

SPEAKER_06 59:46

Oh, was that president's cup when Tiger was the captain?

SPEAKER_07 59:50

No, that was after that.

Matt 59:52

The battle at Brookline when the US was down 10-6 on Sunday and won the Ryder Cup. So nobody got that one. Jeremy, congratulations. You're our big winner for whatever the hell we're gonna call what that was.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:11

Thank you.

Matt 1:00:12

Yeah, Jeremy, good job.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:15

The trivia boy segment.

Matt 1:00:18

Little trivia brought to you by Google Gemini. I'm addicted to AI. I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah.

Dan 1:00:27

You've got you've got a real problem.

unknown 1:00:28

Matt 1:00:30

You really do and I have time on my hands starting tomorrow, too. Look out. Trump won his course tourney. Uh didn't Dor Michael die around? Oh my goodness, so many people. Funny stuff.

Uh Justin Rose at 2500. If you have some money, I would suggest go put that down. Dude is bawling right now, and uh Xander at 2500.

Dan 1:01:14

So are we taking any picks? Are we doing that this year? Just pick a winner. No, we haven't done that at all. We haven't picked it up. Yeah, we haven't done that in a long time.

Matt 1:01:24

We have I haven't yeah, we haven't done that since you came on, right, Dan?

Dan 1:01:29

Well, I mean, we did we did we did that one uh competition with um with uh um birdies and birds. Yeah, yeah.

Matt 1:01:37

But we haven't done anything since. Since then. All right, Rob's got an honest question. Didn't Arnie have more important accomplishments in golf than death? Yes, but I said modern.

Dan 1:01:47

I said modern. Arnold Palmer's most important accomplishments.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:51

Well, I can't bel I can't believe Tiger's last master's lane wasn't one of them.

Matt 1:01:56

Well, let's let's let's do this. I think personally it was his ice tea. What are the top five moments in golf's history? Oh shit. Let's see what it says.

Dan 1:02:08

Who's this accord? This is according to Gemini.

Matt 1:02:10

Yeah.

Dan 1:02:12

Oh man. It's gonna come out with something whack.

Matt 1:02:16

It's thinking. It's thinking. I had the pro version, so it takes a little longer because it's getting in-depth analysis.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:24

Here are the five most significant emotionally resonant moments in golf history. These are the days that didn't just decide a tournament, they changed the entire trajectory of the sport. One September 20th, 1913. The greatest game ever played. Francis We May wins the U.S. Open. Francis Weime, yeah. Francis Uime.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:49

That was Brookline, too. Brookline might as well.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:51

I believe Brookline. The moment. Against all odds, the young American.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:01

It just really goes into a lot of extra shit. Yeah, Francis Wimet. Yeah.

Matt 1:03:09

So number two is the shot heard around the world, Gene Sarzen at the Masters, April 7th, 1935. June 10th, 1950, Ben Hogan wins the U.S. Open, the miracle at Marion. Marion, yeah. April 13th, 1986, Jack's last Masters at age 46. That's absolutely awesome. 1997, the paradigm shift. Tiger wins his first masters. So uh Arnie didn't even make the top five in that.

SPEAKER_08 1:03:40

Wow.

Matt 1:03:41

Honorable mention, better than number five alternative, the duel in the sun, 1977 open championship, Jack Nicholas and Tom Watson. Separate their field by 10 shots, trading blows at Turnberry in the greatest head-to-head battle ever seen. I don't know about that.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:00

Yeah, I don't know. There's so many moments, though, and that's the thing. Golf has a lot of moments.

Matt 1:04:06

A lot of moments. We'll we'll do next I'll next next episode. I'll ask it. Uh, what are the top five moments from September of 2013? Yeah. Modern golf air. Oops, let's see. Oh, where'd it go? Where'd it go? There it's what year does AI consider modern golf? I I figure, you know, when the when the what's that ball that used to be called went away and we got the the wound ball? Oh persimmons, maybe when the persimmons would stop being in play would be considered modern.

unknown 1:04:42

Yeah.

Matt 1:04:43

Early 90s. Yeah.

Dan 1:04:47

Oh.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:49

Do you guys know what the underground is?

Dan 1:04:51

Yeah, what what the hell is the underground?

SPEAKER_06 1:04:53

Mark, Mark Wahlberg's new um oh that's you, you're friends with him, so you wouldn't.

Matt 1:05:00

I'm gonna next time I see him, I'm gonna have to ask him if he can get us some.

Dan 1:05:03

I mean 2800 for 12 dozen balls.

Matt 1:05:06

I am ramping. It's a it's Sergio's playing the golf ball.

Dan 1:05:10

It's an actual golf ball called the underground?

Matt 1:05:13

It's a new golf ball. No, the the club is called the underground. I don't remember what the golf ball is called.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:18

Yeah, okay. I remember seeing I I know what you're talking about now.

Matt 1:05:21

Yeah, it's you're buying into a club, like there's all these. I mean, all the brands for me. Yeah, oh no, I'm not spending$2,800. But no, I mean I'll continue to buy Muni gear at 70% off at the end of the year.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:34

Muni boys.

Matt 1:05:38

This this is really nice, and for twenty dollars, it's it's a steal.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:43

Yeah.

Matt 1:05:44

Yeah. I'm so lost.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:47

Payment. So Mark Wahlberg introduced a club that's called the Underground where you purchase in 2800 bucks and you receive golf balls and access to some sort of club, right? Yeah, I'm sure it's probably gonna be drops and special gear that you only have access to special gear, probably some like events where you can go play and meet Mark Wahlberg and get a Wahlberger and some prayer ups and you know whatever you want to do.

Dan 1:06:15

Go to private screening of Ted 3.

Matt 1:06:17
