In the meantime time. While Dale's meaningless video plays for nobody but himself. Brett can watch. And Brett's gonna go, wow, John looks like really good on a golf course.

[Dale]

Brad, I want you to be honest.

[John]

Look at him now. I have a bit of a hit. Is there a video. Is there sound on this? You screaming, oh, he's a can't because you're cussing. Well, there's a few waggles. I'm lining the ball up and getting myself straight, getting focused. I'm getting high on it. I'm feeling good and I'm officially there. Here we go. And there's the swing. Oh, it's gorgeous.

[Dale]

And I had to watch that for.

18 holes at least three times a hole.

[Dale]

Brad, did you count how many there were?

[Brett]

There's over 10. It's like 13 or 14. There's over 10. I started losing count.

[John]

I would. I would show you the video of Dale. Dale crawling out of the earth to try to get out of that sand trunk. I ran out of film. It took too long. You can't count.

[Howie]

Battery one.

[Brett]

Well, how many. How many waggles are you supposed to have?

[Dale]

You're supposed to have. No, Brady has no waggles. Brady puts them all. The ground steps behind him. Matt down the fairway.

[John]

Not true. And he wiggles a little. It's not like my. I admit it.

[Dale]

Yeah, you.

[John]

You take 15 minutes to get the club from the cart to the thing.

[Dale]

You can complain, exaggerate to make you.

[John]

Complain the whole time.

[Dale]

You're a heckler.

[John]

Why do they make the cart so far away from the tee box? How often I had to hear that.

[Dale]

Did you agree with me?

[John]

Just because I wanted you to. Shut up.

[Dale]

Agree with me.

[John]

I'm like, I wish I Dale. I also wish these cart paths were closer to the tee box so you'd be quiet.

[Dale]

I'm like, why the hell is there 100 yards for the cart bat to.

[John]

The tee box every single time.

[Dale]

And you said, yeah, look, they could have put it right over there.

[John]

Yeah. And I said, you should go over there. I'll meet you there. And it sped away. Anyway, it's time now for the entertainment drill. Dale has done enough damage to himself and everyone else around him, and Howie does take it up the butt. Did you talk to Howie about that? Was he hurt?

[Dale]

No, he was pissed.

[John]

Was he? It pissed him off.

[Dale]

Oh, yeah.

[John]

No, King, that would make you mad. I'd giggle. I'd spread my cheeks. You gotta. You gotta defuse that.

[Dale]

Do you think spread your cheeks would diffuse?

[John]

Aiming it at him and waving it? They'd be like, yeah.

[Dale]

How?

[John]

He's in on it. It doesn't bother him. We gotta stop. Can't let strangers bug you with words.

[Dale]

Did I ever tell you that, like, later on in my career, 30, 39, 40, that you took it up a. I always had to pee in the second half of a game. Oh. If the temperature got below 50, I had a pee. Okay. So what. What would happen was it'd be a nice weekend. So they wouldn't pack the winter gear.

[John]

Yeah.

[Dale]

But they'd always bring two jackets.

[John]

Sure.

[Dale]

They're the equipment guys. And then we just make eye contact somewhere. End of the third quarter, I go sit on the bench. They pull the things out.

[John]

They cover you up in your pee in a cup right onto the ground. Disgusting animal.

[Dale]

You're an animal in front of 70,000 people. I didn't have stage fright.

[John]

You know what's great about that? Dale played, what, 16 years in the NFL. You peed probably 12 times a year right there on the field.

[Dale]

Yeah.

[John]

No one ever saw it.

[Dale]

No.

[John]

That says something. I mean, not one sighting.

[Dale]

They thought it was a creature.

[John]

That's right. There's no curiosity at all. No photos, no nothing. There's just.

[Howie]

Dale Gatorade had a tint to it.

And she had she had any stick defense, she wouldn't have gotten clunked in the top of that.

[Howie]

She had five seconds to move out of the way.

[John]

Well, first off, yeah, there was super fast. She did a lot wrong. Yeah, the dude had to go get the weapon. We do stick defense all the time.

[John]

[Howie]

Father's ex NFL player Mike Jones, the.

[John]

Linebacker for the Rams and Steelers for a year. Throw that in there. Mike Jones is the one. Everybody says he made the stop in the super bowl against Tennessee.

[Brett]

Mike Jones.

[John]

It was a lot further than a yard. The Titans are a little too excited about that play. Plus it only would have tied the game.

[Dale]

It was a yard and a half.

[John]

He still. And they're reaching. He didn't even make it to the goal line. It was a good tackle, but it.

[Dale]

Wasn'T like it was a game saving season saving task.

[John]

It was his job. Stand in the middle of the field with a wide receiver. He never had a chance to get that last.

[Howie]

Dale's got a great story.

[John]

All right, go ahead. Hurry up, Dale. Waggle waggle.

[Dale]

Sabrina Carpenter. You know Sabrina. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[John]

Show a picture. Go ahead.

[Dale]

I. I've never Seen her. Caused a lot of chaos when she released the COVID art of her upcoming album, Man's Best Friend.

[John]

She's crawling around in a black dress, guy's pulling her hair, and she's got her face in this crouch. It's pretty great. He'll show you.

[Dale]

Seriously, you know more about stuff that doesn't matter than any person I know.

[John]

It's brain power. I got brain. I pay attention.

[Howie]

And a few million others.

[John]

Yeah, I absorb. Yeah, exactly. Sabrina Carpenter's kind of known. All right, here's the. There's the picture. That's her album cover right there. Or she's. Oh, she's good looking too. She's a keeper.

[Dale]

Okay.

[John]

Better than that Taylor Swift, that.

[Dale]

It said it showed her on her knees in front of a man who's got a handful of her hair. It's not clear if she listened to the critics who found it sexist or if she's being sarcastic.

[Howie]

It's almost like Spinal Tap, but.

[Dale]

Yeah, yeah, that's right. But yesterday she released an alternate cover where she's standing and holding on to a man in a suit.

[John]

He's holding her against his chest.

[Howie]

Said, God approves.

[John]

Right?

[Dale]

Oh, oh, said an Instagram post. She says that this cover is, quote, approved by God.

[John]

Yeah, exactly. Because she got hit with a bunch of pious.

[Dale]

Really?

[John]

That's. Look at her.

[Brett]

Although it's all over her Facebook, so don't. Don't pull the card.

[John]

She knows she's not doing that. She's making fun of them. Yeah, yeah. She's making fun of the people that. Yeah, yeah. But she's not being as whorish. She's special. Now, that cart girl, I'd flirt with.

[Dale]

Oh, how about the girl and car.

[John]

Girl and that one, too, because she wanted to show everybody her cans. I thought I was helping you. She was this close to showing everybody's cans.

[Dale]

I need help.

[John]

She actually. Brady, she actually said, I'd show you my cans if it wasn't for your dad. And I said, that's not my dad. And she goes, that's Frankenstein. I'm like, yeah, he's not my dad. There's Sabrina in underwear and a puppy. I mean, that's about as good as it gets right there. Girl holding a puffy standard.

[Dale]

I'll give her more than 20%.

[John]

You'd up to that? I was smart. All right, that's it. We're done. Dale, excellent job. Proud of you.

[Dale]

Thank you.

[John]

You're going out tonight? Yeah, Bert's going out to 75th Avenue and Encanto. He's going back to the west side. You treated him.

[Brett]

Couldn't get enough today, you know, I.

[John]

Was like, all right. He treated him so well on 35th Avenue. He's going to 75th Avenue. Be at EOS tonight from 5 to 7 with all sorts of stuff to give you. Tons of it. In fact, Brett will take care of you once again because you guys were so nice to him today. That's it for us. Tomorrow's Friday.

[Dale]

Where are you going, Brady?

[John]

Home.

[Howie]

Home.

[Brett]

Sean's board hopping.

[John]

Oh, is he here? Oh, I didn't know. I can't see him in there. Okay, so Larry is here. Sean's just kind of hanging around with Larry today. I don't know. Something's fishy happen.

[Brett]

That doesn't matter.

[Howie]

He's not Larry. He's John Gordon.

[John]

John Gordon. All right, I'll call Sean and bother him. He's evidently going to tolerate Larry all day. That's it. We're done. You guys have a great one. We'll see you tomorrow in the morning sickness.
