1. Reid’s Unforgettable Honeymoon Experience

Reid returns from his honeymoon in Saint Lucia, sharing a series of amusing and somewhat awkward moments that unfolded during his trip.

• All-Inclusive Surprises:
  Reid enthusiastically describes [02:18] how the honeymoon was "the best thing on planet Earth," complete with a butler and all-inclusive amenities. However, he admits to getting a bit bored with the nonstop beach relaxation, leading him to indulge more in drinks than usual.

• The Mud Bath Fiasco:
  During an excursion to a local mud bath, Reid recounts [03:43] an unexpected and unsanitary experience. "We were expecting something beautiful, like a rocky cave with natural mud pools, but instead, it was just a trench off the road," he explains. Despite the initial disgust, Reid found a way to enjoy the warmth of the mud, even if it meant dealing with the less glamorous side of tourist activities.

• Awkward Dinner Performance:
  The highlight of Reid's honeymoon stories comes when a Sandals resort waitress unexpectedly performs a rendition of "God Bless the Broken Road" while delivering their meal. Reid shares [05:56], "She pulled up her phone and started singing the whole three and a half minutes while we were trying to eat. Maddie was dying inside, but I was loving it." The embarrassing yet endearing moment led to mixed feelings about tipping and service expectations.

• Passport Panic:
  As the honeymoon drew to a close, a frantic moment ensued when Reid realized [09:03] he had left his passport in St. Louis. This triggered a late-night drive back to retrieve it, adding stress to an otherwise perfect trip. "My nuts went into my mouth backwards," Reid humorously describes the panic of realizing he forgot such an essential document [10:07].

2. Eddie Gets Duped by the Internet

Eddie falls victim to an online scam involving a parody account, sparking a humorous yet cautionary tale about internet deception.

• Fake Ownership Claims:
  Brandon Ray shares [52:43] his experience of discovering that Cam Newton had allegedly bought into the ownership of the Tennessee Titans—a claim he later realizes was from a parody account. "That's why you bet on him," Bobby Bones laments [41:58] after finding out the truth, emphasizing the importance of verifying online information.

• Social Media Shenanigans:
  The hosts discuss [54:44] how parody accounts can mislead even the most vigilant users. Eddie mentions that multiple people reported the fake account, leading to its removal, but not before some misinformation had spread. "That's crazy, dude," Brandon exclaims [54:36], highlighting the extent to which fake news can influence perceptions.

3. Bobby’s Support for Underprivileged People in Sports

Bobby Bones passionately discusses his inclination to root for less affluent athletes, shedding light on the socioeconomic disparities within professional sports.

• Frustration with Wealthy Athletes:
  Bobby expresses [46:28] his irritation towards golfers who come from wealthy backgrounds, stating, "Most of those are little rich kids who grew up with access to the sport." He contrasts this with athletes like Rory McIlroy and Scott Scheffler, who, despite their success, didn't have the same financial advantages growing up.

• Advocating for the Underdogs:
  Emphasizing fairness and grit, Bobby declares [48:25], "I'm rooting for the poor golfers," advocating for athletes who have had to overcome financial hurdles to achieve their dreams. This stance underscores the broader theme of supporting equitable opportunities in sports.

• Betting Frenzy:
  Bobby shares [40:47] his experience with betting on the tournament's outcome, including a surprise win from an accidental bet of $40 that turned into $500. This segment blends personal anecdotes with excitement over the unpredictable nature of sports betting.

• Wealth and Access in Golf:
  Further delving into the socioeconomic aspects, Bobby and Brandon discuss [46:28] how financial resources can influence an athlete’s career in golf, fostering a debate about meritocracy and privilege in professional sports.

b. Basketball – NCAA Highlights

• Caitlin Clark’s Performance:
  The hosts analyze [49:50] Caitlin Clark's impressive game, noting her three-point shooting prowess. Bobby points out the confusion over whether she started the game due to her being injured, adding depth to the discussion about player performance and team strategies.

c. Baseball – Red Sox’ Trade Controversy

• Rafael Devers Trade:
  Eddie vents [56:50] about the Red Sox trading Rafael Devers, sharing his frustration with the team's front office decisions and expressing his intention to boycott the team in 2025. This segment reflects the passionate fan reactions that significant trades can elicit.

5. Fun Segments – Cities Quiz

Adding a playful twist to the episode, the hosts engage in a cities quiz to determine who has traveled more globally.

• Guessing Game:
  Bobby Bones initiates [25:35] a quiz where they list cities like Dublin, Monaco, Paris, and Tokyo, challenging each other to reveal their travel experiences. The friendly competition leads to humorous exchanges and reveals varying levels of travel exposure among the hosts.

25 Whistles.

[Bobby Bones]

Welcome Maddy Bloy. And we're bringing on Reed, who's back from his honeymoon. Who is. If you're watching this video clip, Reed looks like he's on the beach. I think that is just a zoom background. I think he's back.

[Reed]

It's always island time over here, baby.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, back in St. Louis. You are back home.

[Reed]

All right, I'm dead.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm dead. I'm done. You back in St. Louis?

[Reed]

Yeah, I'm back in St. Louis.

[Bobby Bones]

How. How was the honeymoon? Where'd you go?

[Reed]

Dude, it was the best thing on planet Earth. Like, I can't even describe how amazing it was.

[Bobby Bones]

What part.

[Reed]

We had, like, we had, like, a butler. We had the all inclusive thing. It. Dude, it was amazing. It was incredible.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you get bored?

[Eddie]

I actually.

[Reed]

I did get bored because I just, like, I don't really like, just bacon on the beach 24 7, which is what Maddie loves to do. And so I pretty much just. I laid there, and they just, like, kept bringing drinks, so I just kept drinking them.

[Bobby Bones]

Were you drunk the whole time?

[Reed]

No, No, I wasn't drunk. I definitely drank more alcohol than I probably ever have in my life as far as, like, consistent, like, consistently.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you up there? Are you still drunk?

[Reed]

Yeah, a little bit.

[Eddie]

A little bit.

[Reed]

But, no, it was amazing. We. We did. We only did one excursion where we went out and saw the pitons, the big old, like, islands out there. And then we did a little snorkeling and mud bath action.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, the mud bath thing was kind of weird. You saw. We saw the picture. Did she see your picture?

[Reed]

Yeah, it's a little strange.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Brandon Ray]

Oh, nothing. Never mind.

[Bobby Bones]

I said, did she see your pizza? Brandon goes to the joke. It doesn't get. Okay, let's just talk through this. Brandon throws in a joke, it does not land because the timing's bad, and who cares?

[Reed]

I just did here. And then he quit.

[Bobby Bones]

Then he gives up, and then he goes back. The whole thing's just gonna go ahead. Reed.

[Reed]

Oh. So basically, the. The mud bath situation, we were expecting it to be, like, normal. Like, I guess it's not really normal because we've never done it before, but, like, we imagine, like, going into, like, some rocky cave, and it's, like, real beautiful with the mud bath, but this was literally, like they were herding cattle off the side of the road, and it's literally just off of the road in a trench. It's, like. It seemed very unsanitary, but.

[Eddie]

But what?

[Reed]

Worked out.

[Bobby Bones]

You did it.

[Reed]

Oh, yeah, we did. We paid for it. We had to do it.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you like it?

[Brandon Ray]

You didn't have to do it.

[Reed]

I. I did enjoy it. It was. It was really warm. It just. It was just kind of weird because they had, like, different tiers and, like, one, like, all the backwash and stuff of that one flew to the other one, and we were on the very last one, so we were just catching all the. All the wash from everyone else up at the top. So it felt. It felt a little nasty, but it's what the island people do, baby.

[Bobby Bones]

I bet they don't.

[Eddie]

No, it's what the tour is.

[Reed]

They probably never go, actually. It's probably just a tourist thing.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Reed]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So wedding was good. You flew from Oregon to whatever island you were on. What island were you on?

[Reed]

Yeah, so not Jamaica. It was Saint Lucia.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Reed]

We flew from Portland to where we Go. We flew from Portland to Charlotte, North Carolina, and then from North Carolina to St. Lucia. That's about eight and a half hours.

[Bobby Bones]

That's Europe. That's less than Europe or more than Europe.

[Eddie]

Yeah, the long ways.

[Reed]

Yeah, yeah, it was. It was a long ways. It was sick though, dude. They, like, they sang to you as soon as you go into the resort.

[Brandon Ray]

What did they say?

[Reed]

Well, they're like, welcome, welcome to Sandals. It's your place to stay. And I couldn't understand them after that, but. But they would sing to you, man. They sang to Maddie on her birthday. And then they proceeded to like, the. The waitress, for some reason, she came by and was like, now I'm going to perform for you. And so they said that there was like musical acts. And I didn't know that she was going to be the musical act, but she literally pulled up her phone and had a phone track and she was like, this one is called God Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flash.

[Bobby Bones]

No way.

[Reed]

And she thinks. She proceeded to sing all three and a half minutes while we're in the middle whole thing. The whole thing. And she ad libbed and stuff. And she was like. She was like. And God bless the broken ro. Dude, it was couple runs. Maddie was dying inside, but I was. I was loving it.

[Bobby Bones]

You think she was feeling so awkward that's why she was dying?

[Reed]

Oh, yeah, for sure. It was. It was 100%. Like, once you, like 30 seconds is about all you can take when you're out there and you're trying to eat your meal. And then there's also like a DJ in the background. Like, you can't hear her actual phone track.

[Bobby Bones]

So you tip her.

[Reed]

It was wild, man.

[Brandon Ray]

I think he heard you.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you see her, Teton?

[Brandon Ray]

Never mind, never mind.

[Reed]

Those were extra landed there.

[Bobby Bones]

We got that joke to land eventually. Hold on. Did you tip the singer?

[Reed]

Y' all hear that car horn? Oh, my God, dude. St. Louis Jesus.

[Bobby Bones]

He went from St. Louis.

[Reed]

I don't know why I'm mad anymore.

[Brandon Ray]

Different saints, man.

[Reed]

Oh, Jesus. What were we saying?

[Bobby Bones]

Did you tip the singer?

[Reed]

No, no, we did it because it was so the only people we were supposed to tip in the all inclusiveness was the Butlers and like the spa people. We weren't supposed to tip the service people, but I kind of felt bad after she started performing and I feel.

[Bobby Bones]

Like that's not a service person.

[Reed]

She worked for Sandals and it was like she was. She delivered the food. She did everything.

[Brandon Ray]

Oh, wow. And there was a server, too.

[Reed]

That's What I'm saying, she was like. It's almost like, let me go get the musician. And then she just, like, turned around. It was. It was wild.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like those TikTok videos where the person is playing two people, but they just. Just turns his hat around for the other one. That's.

[Eddie]

That's literally what it was.

[Reed]

And we saw her perform that song to the table next to us, like, 10 minutes earlier. And we were like. She. When she walked over, she was like, I'm going to perform a song. I was like, please don't be. God bless the bro, please.

[Brandon Ray]

But it was.

[Reed]

Can we. I want some new material.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude. That's funny. And when you were leaving, were you ready to come home?

[Reed]

Yeah, I think we were. I think mainly because, like, we still had some stuff. Like, we had so much laundry to do when we got here, and Maddie started today, and so we would have.

[Bobby Bones]

Probably liked laundry or being a doctor.

[Reed]

Yeah, being a doctor.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Laundry on your honeymoon, Maddie, we gotta.

[Bobby Bones]

Leave a day early. Laundry's piled up.

[Reed]

Yeah. So I got back, I carried her through the threshold.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Reed]

Apparently that's what you're supposed to do.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Did you need a passport to carry.

[Reed]

Her through the threshold?

[Brandon Ray]

Yes. Yes, that too.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, why were you never this funny when you lived here?

[Reed]

I don't know, man. I'm a new me, you know?

[Brandon Ray]

That's what St. Lucia does to you.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, dude. He's, like, reeling them off one by one. Least funny guy we ever met when he lived here. Now all of a sudden, Freaking death comedy jam. No. Did you. Passport for St. Lucia. That's not America, right?

[Reed]

No, it's not America. Yeah, we did need a passport. And I can't remember if I told you or not, but literally the night before we flew out, I was in Arkansas, and I went to go pick up dinner, and I was like, oh, my God. I left my passport in St. Louis. So I literally had to drive that night back to St. Louis to get my passport. What are you talking about? To catch the flight.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You didn't tell that story.

[Reed]

Yeah, it was off to a rocky start.

[Brandon Ray]

Wait, what's the distances like? I don't understand. You're in Arkansas. You have to drive to St. Louis.

[Bobby Bones]

Which is how far it was about four hours. So when you realize it and you're like, I don't have a passport. Did you think maybe I don't have a passport? Or, oh, my God, I forgot my passport? Which feeling was it?

[Reed]

No, it was like my nuts went into my mouth backwards.

[Brandon Ray]

Okay, see, that's my expression.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that went up through your body.

[Reed]

Oh, up through my body.

[Bobby Bones]

That wasn't an expression. But when he says it like that, it is one. Right. Because had you just been able to Marilyn Manson yourself, I'd have been like, that's weird. But, but going up through your body.

[Brandon Ray]

Because you're like, that's far up there.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's like, watch. If I do this so hard, there's a chance they come up through my body.

[Brandon Ray]

Okay, I see it now.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Reed]

Exactly.

[Bobby Bones]

You just crazy.

[Reed]

Yeah, I. I went to go pick up dinner and I don't know why it clicked, but it was just like this just woo moment of like, I don't have my passport and we fly out in the morning.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you have it put somewhere specifically and you forgot it when you were leaving the house or did you just always. Did you just neglect from pulling it at all?

[Reed]

No, I. I knew where it was in my nightstand drawer where I keep all my important documents.

[Brandon Ray]

Well, now everyone.

[Reed]

But it's gonna be a new place now. But. But I knew where it was. But Matt, I. And Maddie kind of got mad at me too because I was like kind of throwing the blame on her. Even though it wasn't her fault.

[Bobby Bones]

You were taking it out on her. Welcome to marriage, buddy. Hey, we've all been there. We're like, we screwed something up. We find a way to blame it on them. I'll been there, buddy.

[Brandon Ray]

He had just gotten married.

[Reed]

Yeah, she did send me a list of stuff to bring to come back from Arkansas.

[Brandon Ray]

Still blaming her and it wasn't on the list. Don't read.

[Bobby Bones]

Was it not on her list?

[Reed]

Whatever. I didn't have time to think of my stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, I feel that.

[Brandon Ray]

Stop.

[Bobby Bones]

Team read. Yeah. Move back.

[Eddie]

Move back.

[Bobby Bones]

Please.

[Brandon Ray]

Come back to Nashville.

[Bobby Bones]

Come back to Nashville. Hey, so you have to drive. Do you call? Do you take the food home? Because you were going to pick up food? Do you drive the food back to the house before you go to St. Louis? Or did you just go, oh, crap.

[Reed]

Take the food with you, take off.

[Bobby Bones]

And go to St. Louis.

[Reed]

It's going to be a long drive. I might need this. No, I call. Called Maddie instantly and told her what the deal was. And then, and then, funny enough, when I went in to go get the food, I realized I left my wallet back at their place.

[Brandon Ray]

What a mess.

[Bobby Bones]

Did she put that on the list though? That's the question.

[Reed]

No, she didn't put that online. So I had to go back to her house, get my Wallet, back to get food and then back and then pack up and then back to St. Louis.

[Brandon Ray]

What did Reed, what did they say when you said, I'm gonna have to go to St. Louis for a few hours to get my passport?

[Reed]

They were just like, you idiot.

[Bobby Bones]

What time was your flight the next morning?

[Reed]

It actually wasn't that bad. We had to be there at like 2.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Reed]

But we had to go to, we, we had to go to Memphis. So it was like an hour and a half. So.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, you gotta walk me through this timeline here. Wait, what? I'm assuming it's like 6pm when you're picking up food.

[Reed]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

So by the time you get the food back to the house, it's about seven. You gotta drive four out of St. Louis. That's about 11. Arrive at 11.

[Eddie]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you stay?

[Reed]

It's actually, it was, it was later than that when we got, when we got dinner. So I ended up getting back to St. Louis around like 1:30.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Now do you stay and go to sleep and then just drive back the next day or do you just turn around and drive back?

[Reed]

I got some sleep. Yeah, I decided to just go to bed and then just get up earlier and drive back and just meet them.

[Bobby Bones]

At the airport in Memphis.

[Reed]

Memphis. Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Yeah. All right, buddy.

[Brandon Ray]

Oh my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

And how's, how's it, how's being married been good?

[Reed]

It's been amazing, dude. I mean, it's been incredible. We've. We've gone so long without seeing each other, so now just to see each other, you know, Every day has been wonderful, so we'll see how it goes.

[Brandon Ray]

You know.

[Reed]

Not like that.

[Bobby Bones]

It's open ended.

[Brandon Ray]

You never know, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Odds are we'll stay together, you know.

[Reed]

Oh my.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, buddy. Well, we're happy to hear. Hear from you. Glad you're back.

[Reed]

Yes, sir.

[Bobby Bones]

How long, how long did you think of this bit where you're going to have the island behind you with the hat?

[Reed]

And to be honest, I thought I was going to do it for like just the opening segment to when I see Mike and then take it off.

[Brandon Ray]

Great.

[Reed]

But it just kind of stuck.

[Bobby Bones]

So it wasn't even going to be a segment. You're just going to do it as a bit for just you and Mike and then you just.

[Reed]

Yeah, I was just going to just be a joke. Yeah.

[Eddie]

But when did you think about.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, when was the. When did the idea pop in?

[Reed]

Oh, for sure, about 15 minutes ago.

[Eddie]

Okay. I thought he was back, come from his flight or something. He's Thinking about, what can I do?

[Reed]

Oh, no, I did think about, like, man, if I had, like, a wig with dreads and, like, went full Rasta.

[Brandon Ray]

Man, that might have been too much.

[Bobby Bones]

See, that's too much. Too much. Like, good thing you didn't have that.

[Reed]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

Reed, when are you coming? When are you coming? Because you said you were going to be here every month.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's been a month now, I think. Right.

[Reed]

I'm. Well, I'm going to try to come at the end of this month, like the last. The last week at some point.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. That's very.

[Reed]

Don't know yet.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, for what and why.

[Reed]

So I was going to do some stuff. What's up?

[Bobby Bones]

What tips do you give them?

[Reed]

Tips? Oh, shoot. Make sure you eat a lot of food and drink a lot of water beforehand, because I would. I would not do that. And I would pass out or almost pass out.

[Eddie]

Not a lot.

[Brandon Ray]

I mean, should I have salmon?

[Bobby Bones]

Not.

[Reed]

No salmon. Take that off your list. Eat just, like, an apple before you work out.

[Brandon Ray]

Okay. It helps, huh?

[Bobby Bones]

I had to give a lot. I had to give Brandon the Reed talk, and not because he needed it, but because I think it's the one.

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

We were in Arkansas, and we were with Coach Musk when Musk was coaching Arkansas. And we're supposed to be kind of professional. And, like, I know mus, but, like, even before the shoot reads like, coach, we signed my hat, and it was just a weird time.

[Brandon Ray]

Can you make it at the stone? Or like, yeah, yeah, like.

[Bobby Bones]

And if you're gonna do that, do it at the very, very end, right? You don't do it at the beginning. But Reed, like, takes his hat off and hands it to him before he starts recording. And Mus is like, okay, and two stone.

[Reed]

And I'm like, learn my lesson.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm like, reed, luckily, I know must. It's not a big deal. But if we're like, at the NFL and you're like, hey, Coach Harbaugh, you know, will you sign that? My underwear strap? You have to do that at the very, very end because otherwise we're there professionally, right?

[Reed]

Oh, yeah. Pick the times, man. Pick the time.

[Bobby Bones]

The second one is, if you don't come to the workout, that's okay. If you're not feeling good or if life gets in the way, that's okay. But if you do come to the workout, don't come to the workout complaining about something while you're at the workout. Because Reed would be like, I ate some bad salmon the whole workout. I ate some bad salmon. I'm really not working out well today because of bad salmon. I'd be like, reed, if you don't feel good, we're not going to judge you for not working out. Your body is different every day. Life happens. But if you get here, you can't complain the whole time while you're here about sour salmon. So we gave Brandon the sour salmon talk.

[Reed]

I love it. Yeah, I love it. Welcome, dude. Good luck on your endeavors, man. But your body's going to change fast. Thank you. Mine didn't really, but.

[Brandon Ray]

No, that's not.

[Bobby Bones]

You lost a bunch of weight.

[Brandon Ray]

You just posted a picture.

[Reed]

I did lost a bunch. I did. I did lose a bunch of weight. How much weight did you still feel like? Oh, actually, I lost £25.

[Brandon Ray]

That's a lying.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's significant.

[Reed]

I was. I was like 220, and then now I'm about 195.

[Bobby Bones]

How tall are you?

[Reed]

Six two, six three?

[Bobby Bones]

I'd say six, three.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you're tall. You're a tall person.

[Reed]

I'll take that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah. Six, three. All right.

[Brandon Ray]

That's what you are.

[Bobby Bones]

We'll talk to you soon.

[Reed]

All right.

[Eddie]

See ya later, Reed.

[Reed]

Later, Yaman.

[Brandon Ray]

Okay, Yaman, can you just stay on?

[Bobby Bones]

I mean. Well. No.

[Brandon Ray]

The answer is no.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey. Thunder snuck out with a win.

[Brandon Ray]

Oh, thank God. We needed that.

[Bobby Bones]

I watched the whole game. I'm gonna tell you, they didn't deserve to win that game.

[Brandon Ray]

No, they didn't.

[Eddie]

Nope.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And if it weren't for SGA's like that, those five points at the end, biggest five points I've seen all series. They didn't deserve to win that game. Except they did because they kept it close. They did what the Pacers have been doing. You just kind of keep it close.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah. Pacer. The Pacers.

[Bobby Bones]

And then at the end, you just kind of stick your foot on the gas. It's pretty awesome to see. Mostly because I would like to see them win the championship. But I know you had to be getting nervous because if you lose, you lose the thong.

[Brandon Ray]

I'm not going to be wanting to wear a thong. But, dude, I'm telling you, if it stays like this, the Pacers look so good. And it's not even like Pacers are better than the Thunder. I just think the Pacers are playing so freaking hard that if this continues, I'm going to be wearing a thong. I'm getting that feeling that the Thunder is not going to win this.

[Bobby Bones]

They're back in Oklahoma City. So Thunder back technically with the advantage because they now have home court advantage again.

[Eddie]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

So I feel good for the Thunder.

[Brandon Ray]

You do?

[Eddie]

I think. Yeah. That was huge.

[Brandon Ray]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I still feel good for Thunder and have a very expensive dinner on the line. So I want to win.

[Brandon Ray]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

But if we don't win, because I'm we now, because I have money in it. If we don't win, then at least you get to wear a woman's song. Yeah. On this show for a week. Yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

It's we, too, because. Yeah, I'm. I'm in it as well.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

So we should win.

[Bobby Bones]

Arkansas lost their first College World Series game.

[Brandon Ray]

That was tough.

[Bobby Bones]

Which sucked. Our best pitcher goes out and gets. I won't even say rocked. He just didn't have much control. So we lost the game. We lost to lsu. Now you have to come up the hard way. So by the time you hear this, that game's priority over the second game. We play Murray State today. 1. So that's in like 45 minutes from what me recording this right now.

[Brandon Ray]

Wrap this up.

[Bobby Bones]

We should win that. I hope we win that. We may not win that, but we should win that.

[Brandon Ray]

Should.

[Bobby Bones]

Then we'll play the loser of lsu, ucla, which will probably be ucla. And then we'd have to be LSU twice and then we'd be in the championship match. A two out of three because I got the biggest parlay going. Oklahoma City Thunder, Arkansas National Championship, and I put a thousand on the win to win the national championship.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And the Cubs.

[Brandon Ray]

The last one's the Cubs World Series.

[Bobby Bones]

So yeah, that's what's up. Let's take a break. We'll come back and we can talk US open. It's pretty awesome.

[Brandon Ray]

It was crazy, dude. So, yes.

[Bobby Bones]

And then I have a thing about Everybody should have been to these cities in their life by now.

[Brandon Ray]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

With Reid coming in from traveling and his honeymoon, we'll do this little quiz as well. All right, we'll take a break and.

The American west with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network. Hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores and brought to you by Velvet Buck, this podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best selling author and Meat Eater founder Stephen Rinella.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll correct my kids now and then.

[Brandon Ray]

Where they'll say when cave people were here.

[Bobby Bones]

And I'll say it seems like the Ice age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves.

[Reed]

So join me starting Tuesday, May 6, where we'll delve into stories of the west and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today.

[Brandon Ray]

Listen to the American west with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.

[Bobby Bones]

Across the country, cops called this Taser the revolution.

[Brandon Ray]

But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.

[Reed]

Cops believed everything that Taser told them.

[Brandon Ray]

From Lava for good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened when a multi billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission. This is Absolute Season one, Taser Incorporated. I get right back there and it's bad. It's really, really, really bad. Listen to new episodes of Absolute Season 1, Taser Incorporated on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Binge episodes 1, 2, and 3 on May 21 and episodes 4, 5, and 6 on June 4 ad free at Lava for Good. Plus on Apple Podcasts.

[Bobby Bones]

The average person has been to two of these cities. So everybody just keep your own score. Just put a mark. And there's a lot of cities, but the average person has been to two of these cities. I saw this on YouTube and let me know your score at the end. Okay. Dublin, Ireland. London, England. Monaco. I don't even know where Monaco is.

[Brandon Ray]

Is that Italy?

[Bobby Bones]

France?

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's like just. Yeah, France.

[Bobby Bones]

If I were guessing, I'd guess France. Is that like south of France?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like there's race cars in Monaco.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's where they do that. That's a big one.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you look and see, because I don't want to be wrong. I don't mind being wrong, but people hit me up, be like, you're an idiot. I. I don't know where Monaco is, but if I were guessing, I'd guess south of France.

[Eddie]

The French Riviera.

[Bobby Bones]

And is that in south of France?

[Eddie]

Western Europe.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's see.

[Brandon Ray]

It's south. It's southern France.

[Eddie]

Yeah, Southern France.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you.

[Brandon Ray]

Okay, good job, man. I had no clue.

[Bobby Bones]

I would have guessed that if a gun was to my head, but I wouldn't have pushed the buzzer on my own accord.

[Brandon Ray]

How many of you Done. Cities. Three.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. Hold on.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Paris, France. New York City. Eddie, I. Can you just tell me if you've been to these places?

[Brandon Ray]

This is so stupid.

[Bobby Bones]

You guys all keep your score though. Have you been to any of them?

[Brandon Ray]

New York City is the only one.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Brandon Ray]

And you know why?

[Bobby Bones]

Why?

[Brandon Ray]

This is probably why you're doing this dumb list. Go ahead. I don't have a passport, so how could I have gone to Paris or Monica?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, this wasn't about you. It really. It literally wasn't about you. Because there are other American cities in here.

[Brandon Ray]

Because the last few episodes you've just been railing me on that.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I would have taken us all on a golf trip to Ireland at this point. But you don't have what I'm talking about. I forgot about that.

[Brandon Ray]

So, no, I haven't been. Paris.

[Bobby Bones]

Rome.

[Brandon Ray]

Okay. See? No, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Tokyo.

[Brandon Ray]

No, I've not been to Tokyo.

[Bobby Bones]

Barcelona.

[Brandon Ray]

No, I've not been to Barcelona. Nice.

[Bobby Bones]

Istanbul.

[Brandon Ray]

Dude, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, you can stop saying no.

[Eddie]

You've never had one in your entire life.

[Bobby Bones]

Now again, there's only two, though. The average person has only been to two, so you don't.

[Brandon Ray]

So I'm still. I'm good. I'm halfway there.

[Eddie]

You're an average person.

[Bobby Bones]

Amsterdam. Now, I've been to the airport in Amsterdam, but I don't count.

[Brandon Ray]

That counts. No, no, you physically are in that. In that country.

[Bobby Bones]

But I would say if you're flying through connecting, that doesn't count as being in that city. Even in domestically.

[Brandon Ray]

Okay, so Detroit. I've never been to Detroit. I have layovered in Detroit.

[Bobby Bones]

I've never been to Detroit.

[Eddie]

Doesn't count.

[Brandon Ray]

That doesn't sound right. But okay, that's your rules.

[Bobby Bones]

Berlin, Dubai, Beijing, Sydney. Moscow. Mexico City. You ever been to Mexico?

[Brandon Ray]

I'm in.

[Bobby Bones]

Because you didn't need a passport back then.

[Brandon Ray]

Nope. Birth certificate.

[Bobby Bones]

Back in the day.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah, back in the day. Show them your birth certificate and you're good.

[Bobby Bones]

Toronto, Rio de Janeiro.

[Brandon Ray]

Ooh. Brazil.

[Bobby Bones]

Singapore, Delhi and Seoul. I'm gonna go through these pretty quick.

[Brandon Ray]

Jakarta, Chicago.

[Bobby Bones]

Jakarta, Bangkok. Los Angeles. You've been that one.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah. Mark.

[Bobby Bones]

Las Vegas.

[Brandon Ray]

Let's go, baby.

[Eddie]

Let's go on a roll.

[Bobby Bones]

Venice, Vienna.

[Brandon Ray]

And I'm gone again.

[Bobby Bones]

Prague, Athens, Lisbon, Stockholm, Zurich, Brussels. Marrakesh. San Francisco. Oslo, Helsinki. I don't know who this one is. Krakow and Kuala Lumpur. That's it.

[Eddie]

Never even heard those cities.

[Brandon Ray]

Who would you guess has been to more of those places?

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe Kevin. Kevin lived overseas for a while.

[Brandon Ray]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

So when you live in Europe. All of Europe is about the size of America.

[Brandon Ray]

Oh, the whole thing.

[Bobby Bones]

The whole thing. So it's like going to states.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And they have a system to get you places. Much better than here because they have a lot of cities. Like all those countries are basically states and they have a train system. That's awesome.

[Brandon Ray]

Okay, so Brandon's toured a lot, though, you know.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you toured Helsinki by any chance? No. Okay.

[Brandon Ray]

Played a show in Helsinki.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie, how many did you have?

[Brandon Ray]

I have five. Pretty solid. The only non American was Mexico City.

[Bobby Bones]

And with that you had New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco.

[Brandon Ray]

That's it.

[Bobby Bones]

You've been to San Fran?

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah, when I was younger. Yeah. With my parents.

[Bobby Bones]

Brandon, six. Toronto, Mexico City, and the rest are, you know, nyc, Las Vegas, San Francisco. Dang. Thought you'd be a little higher than that. Me, too.

[Brandon Ray]

Me too. I thought you're more cultured and sad.

[Bobby Bones]

Casey, I got eight.

[Reed]

Eight.

[Brandon Ray]

But seven if you don't count New York, because I grew up there, so that counts. Okay. That's not a layover.

[Eddie]

Not a layover.

[Bobby Bones]

I forgot this one. Franklin, Tennessee.

[Brandon Ray]

I'm six. I've been there.

[Bobby Bones]

Who do you think has more, Kevin or me? Because I don't know how many Kevin has? I have no idea.

[Brandon Ray]

I'm gonna say you. I'm gonna say you. And not by much. I'm gonna say barely you, because I know one that I'm sure of. Kevin has never been and you have, but that's one.

[Bobby Bones]

And there's like 25 on here, and.

[Brandon Ray]

It'S gonna be close.

[Bobby Bones]

What's the one?

[Brandon Ray]

Japan.

[Bobby Bones]

I've been Tokyo.

[Brandon Ray]

Tokyo?

[Bobby Bones]

You have? In Tokyo?

[Eddie]

No.

[Brandon Ray]

Boom. Nailed it.

[Eddie]

How you know that?

[Brandon Ray]

I just. You don't seem like a Tokyo guy.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Eddie]

What does that mean?

[Brandon Ray]

Like. Like, you don't.

[Bobby Bones]

What does that mean?

[Brandon Ray]

And you. I love you.

[Bobby Bones]

You seem more like a Brussels dude.

[Brandon Ray]

Or like a Paris, France, or a London, Spain guy. You know, not.

[Eddie]

Those are all so different from each other.

[Brandon Ray]

But that's like Europe.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't see someone wanted a Singapore guy.

[Eddie]

Singapore would be cool. I have not been there.

[Brandon Ray]

You look like a Bangkok dude.

[Bobby Bones]

You're more like a Thailand frequenter. Do you have more than 10?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Me too.

[Brandon Ray]

Dang world travelers.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, we both have more than 10. You still think it's.

[Brandon Ray]

I think it's. You still barely. It's gonna be close.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you have 15?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. You win.

[Brandon Ray]

Dang.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Right at 15.

[Bobby Bones]

You do. Yeah. I have 13. I think I have 13. I have London. Someone Asked me yesterday where would I live if it wasn't for living in the United States. Like, if America exploded, where would I go? And I said London, because it's just. You don't like London.

[Eddie]

I hate London.

[Bobby Bones]

It just felt like America.

[Eddie]

Yeah. That's probably why I didn't like.

[Bobby Bones]

That's why I picked it.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I was just like, I could go there and just like keep going.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

London, Paris. Paris is awesome. My favorite city.

[Eddie]

I love Paris.

[Brandon Ray]

It's your favorite city in the world.

[Bobby Bones]

I've only been twice, but it's been awesome both times.

[Brandon Ray]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

So New York, obviously. Rome. Been Rome.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Love Rome.

[Bobby Bones]

I love Rome too. And people have been like, rome sucks. I've been Rome twice. That is awesome.

[Eddie]

Amazing. And the food is awesome.

[Brandon Ray]

All the history too.

[Bobby Bones]

Sydney, Australia. That feels like America. You've been to Australia?

[Eddie]

I have not. No.

[Bobby Bones]

It's cool. Feels like America though. They just drive on the different side of the road. Like London. I've been to Mexico City though. Have you?

[Eddie]

I have not. I'm in Mexico. Not Mexico City.

[Bobby Bones]

Same. Dublin. Yes, yes. Los Angeles. Have you ever been to Vienna?

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Austria?

[Eddie]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. What the heck. Yeah, I have.

[Bobby Bones]

It's awesome.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

Wait, so is that. Was that on list? Did you not mark that?

[Eddie]

Maybe it's 16.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, maybe it's. Maybe I didn't market then.

[Eddie]

I don't know.

[Brandon Ray]

I don't know. He just acted like he'd never been there.

[Eddie]

You know, I went there with my brother. I didn't like it. You went there with your wife, Right?

[Bobby Bones]

It was awesome.

[Eddie]

Yeah. You got to go there with significant other.

[Brandon Ray]

It's like a. Oh, it's romantic.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's romantic. That's the vibes I got.

[Bobby Bones]

It was warm and clean. I don't know. It was romantic.

[Eddie]

It was nice. Don't get me wrong, but.

[Brandon Ray]

So did you feel something with you and your brother? I don't understand.

[Bobby Bones]

Does that make you uncomfortable? Athens is cool.

[Brandon Ray]

Oh, Greece.

[Eddie]

Dirty though.

[Brandon Ray]

Dirty.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I could see that.

[Eddie]

Very dirty.

[Bobby Bones]

Just grease feels. Yeah, a little.

[Eddie]

Well, yeah. I mean, the economy is just not very good. But it's cheap.

[Brandon Ray]

Oh, I thought more greasy than dirty.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought it was Athens, Georgia. Nevermind. He marked one off his list.

[Brandon Ray]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Where's the coolest place you ever been? On this list. On this list.

[Eddie]

On this list.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought Dublin kind of sucked because when I went by myself and also all they do is drink. It's a drink culture.

[Eddie]

That's why I liked it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I get it. If that's your Thing. But I was like, what do I do? It was terrible for me on this list.

[Eddie]

I probably say Amsterdam was pretty damn cool. But probably Rome. Paris I really like.

[Bobby Bones]

When we went to Rome, they warned us about the Romans. The gypsy kids.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

Pickpocket. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, really? Like they.

[Bobby Bones]

They were like, keep your bags in the front and keep your stuff in your front pockets. Yeah. Because they were trained and they're literally called like gypsy kids. Oh, wow. Gypsy families. Not all about Aladdin, but Latin.

[Brandon Ray]

Weren't Gypsies. Different place.

[Reed]

I get that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, I saw that. I don't know if that was fun or not.

[Brandon Ray]

I was fine.

[Eddie]

I didn't. There's a lot of cities too. I didn't think you're gonna name off that many. What, 25 is that you said? I don't know, something like that.

[Bobby Bones]

Something like that. I did. I have 13.

[Eddie]

There's some I've never even heard of.

[Brandon Ray]

World travelers.

[Eddie]

I would like to go to Tokyo. By the way, just so we're clear.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a long ways away.

[Brandon Ray]

I'm sure.

[Eddie]

I know. I've heard, but I heard amazing about it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's great if you can get there.

[Eddie]

That's true.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like Australia.

[Eddie]

Yeah. That's another thing. That's probably why I haven't gone to those.

[Bobby Bones]

That's why I haven't gone to Africa. You ever been to Africa?

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

I would love to go because I see like pictures of like giraffes and stuff and I'm like, that would be.

[Brandon Ray]

Cool in the wild.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that would be really cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Except I don't want to flight that long. Does Southwest go there? Can I get a one to get away over?

[Brandon Ray]

I don't think so.

[Eddie]

Especially nowadays with their new prices and stuff.

[E]

Probably not for period protection. You can put on and forget about nothing. Beats NYX Leak proof underwear. North America's number one leak proof underwear brand.

[Bobby Bones]

Let'S talk about the U.S. open because that was very difficult. And I text Eddie yesterday and I said hey, this course is really hard. You probably shoot 89 on it.

[Brandon Ray]

And I said not with this arm. Nope.

[Bobby Bones]

And that was it.

[Brandon Ray]

And then, and then he, and then he responded back and said yeah, you're right, maybe you'd shoot an 85 I.

[Bobby Bones]

Said you should like an 84 if you were healed. 89 with your bad arm.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

Around there. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

What sucked was the guy who won it. I wrote the note. I know his name.

[Brandon Ray]

Just in case you didn't know.

[Bobby Bones]

I literally have here Spawn hits the stick as the note I'm going to talk about. So I have the whole thing. Yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

Got it.

[Bobby Bones]

What sucks is I made the note because he. He hits a great shot and it. The ball squares up and hits the pin and then rolls back 50ft down the hill. It's the most unfortunate thing I've ever seen. And I probably would have been like, yeah, that sucks. He wasn't destined to win, but. But he did. He sank that friggin 50 foot putt, won the whole thing.

[Brandon Ray]

Now what's stupid about the 50 foot putt is people being like, yeah, but Victor Hovland showed him a line. I will give you a line, all you guys in the room. Nobody will come close to that making that putt. And the fact that, like, the fact that he made it's unbelievable. I don't care if Victor Holland gave him a line to look at.

[Bobby Bones]

So amazing the argument there because people are like, Victor Hovland gave him the line because Victor Hovland wasn't outside of him.

[Brandon Ray]

He was.

[Bobby Bones]

Was he?

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah, I think.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, I thought the argument was Victor Hovland was around the same.

[Brandon Ray]

No, no, no. I mean, I mean, sure. But even if they were about the same, like, I think Victor would volunteer that.

[Bobby Bones]

So he would have. And here's why. You want the winner to make the last shot. You never want when someone makes that final putt for. And it's over for someone to have to put after them.

[Brandon Ray]

But it didn't matter because they had a crew. They had a group behind them. So they had to like, celebrate for a second and everybody be quiet.

[Bobby Bones]

There was a crew behind. There was.

[Brandon Ray]

So first. First one, he makes the putt, right? Everyone goes crazy. His family runs.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, they weren't the last group.

[Brandon Ray]

No, they weren't the last group. And then JJ is telling his wife and his kids, like, Victor's got a putt still because he misses putt. So then everyone got quiet. Victor finishes his putt, and then they still can't even celebrate because I didn't realize Sam Burns and who else was.

[Bobby Bones]

The last group once my guys fell out because I watched it all the way up until like the last 20 minutes of it. And then I had to watch it on my phone. I thought it was when he sunk Sank the putt. I turned off. I flipped out of the screen. I thought it was over.

[Brandon Ray]

When really there was no chance. And that birdie just made it impossible for anyone to catch up.

[Bobby Bones]

Out of those three golfers, McIntyre, Robert McIntyre was in the clubhouse at one under.

[Brandon Ray]

Yes. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

And so he kind of came out of nowhere the last day, too. Yeah, I don't even know who that is. They kept calling him Bobby McIntyre. Yeah, I didn't know he was.

[Brandon Ray]

And he's, like, a Scottish dude.

[Bobby Bones]

He had, like, signed his card, and he was just sitting there, and the camera was, like, looking down on, like, sitting in, like, a portable trailer or something. And good for him for being able to, like, clap.

[Brandon Ray]

He laughed it off because, I mean, he sunk that putt anyway. So, like, well, I'm not winning this.

[Bobby Bones]

What was cool, because I watched the final a lot of the final two days because I bet a lot on Shuffler, and he did not. He just kept teasing us.

[Brandon Ray]

Couldn't do it, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Couldn't do it. So I bet a lot on him. So I stayed in. In that last day. I bet Spawn by accident. I bet for. I bet 40 bucks and ended up winning, like, 500.

[Brandon Ray]

That's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it didn't make my money back because I ended up.

[Eddie]

But it did.

[Bobby Bones]

It did take a dent out of it because I think I'd have been, like, 1200 bucks overall.

[Brandon Ray]

But different golfers.

[Bobby Bones]

Mostly on three golfers. Scheffler, Hovland. And I put a flyer on Spawn because you remind me of Warren Spawn and the baseball cards. 89 donrus. Whenever you try to put the Warren Spawn puzzle together, I don't know what that is. I think of the movie spawn, like, maybe 90 donrus.

[Brandon Ray]

And that's why you bet on him?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I wouldn't spell the same, but that's why I bet him. I don't know who he was.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah, he's been. I mean, he. He hangs around there like, he's always, like, top 10 or so. He plays really well. But as far as a major, no one would ever think that this dude would win a major.

[Bobby Bones]

Listen to this. 2013, he made $11,000 on the Canadian tour. 2014, made one cut in $825 on the Canadian tour.

[Brandon Ray]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

2015, one Canada Order of Merit.

[Brandon Ray]

Hell of a tournament.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know what that is.

[Brandon Ray]

Never heard of it.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that like a Good Samaritan Award?

[Brandon Ray]

No.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it sounds like a trophy that you just give out.

[Bobby Bones]

2016, finished third on KFT points, earned his PGA Tour card. 2017, finishes 97th. 2018, finishes 62nd.

[Brandon Ray]

Wow, he's climbing.

[Bobby Bones]

2019, finishes 99th. 2020, 185th, loses PGA Tour card.

[Eddie]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

2021, 174th in points, but gets to keep his card because of COVID 2022, 34th in points, gets his first PGA Tour win.

[Brandon Ray]

Go, baby.

[Bobby Bones]

That's 2022, 2023, 62nd in points. 2024, 98th in points.

[Brandon Ray]

Wow. I went down again.

[Bobby Bones]

Never really had, like, a great year.

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Except for 2022. He finished 34th in his first ever win, but that's it.

[Brandon Ray]

And then the players. This year, he was. I think he was in a playoff hole to win the players and lost it.

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah, this year. So, I mean, this was huge for him.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So, yeah, I watched most of it, I thought, because again, I was at dinner watching it on my leg. I had it under the table and I was watching on my leg.

[Brandon Ray]

That's so hard to see the ball.

[Bobby Bones]

Like at a restaurant when he hits the putt. Yeah, we were sitting outside at a restaurant and. But when he hit the putt, I was like, oh, it's over. I just swiped out of it. Assume that was the end of it.

[Brandon Ray]

I mean, it was the end.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't know there were golfers behind him.

[Brandon Ray]

There was no chance for anyone to beat him. So it was the end. But they still had to just delay the celebration a little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

And I was all defending Victor Hovland. Like, no, even if he was the even, he putts to give the last putt to the guy who's very last up. Yeah, they did during the rain delay show the 2008 tiger. It was awesome.

[Brandon Ray]

The Tiger comeback.

[Bobby Bones]

Black vest Tiger on day three, and then red Tiger when he makes that putt. Dude, it's crazy to watch him. The red shirt he double fist pumps into the sky. And Rocco Media. I remember. I remember watching that part. But what stuck out to me the most was they had to play an 18 the next day, 18 holes as a tiebreaker the next day.

[Brandon Ray]

Oh, was it 18? I thought they just played the 18th hole.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought they played 18. Oh, holes.

[Brandon Ray]

I think it's just the 18th hole.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I would look that up. No, no, you may be right.

[Brandon Ray]

You may be right. But every time they said the 18th playoff, I was the 18th hole playoff. I was like, okay, it's just one.

[Bobby Bones]

I took it as they played a whole 18. That would suck because they could have just played the extra hole right then.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because it was still daytime.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think so.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think it's. I would bet $5 on this.

[Brandon Ray]

Okay, let's do five. I haven't looked it up again. I may be wrong. So this says.

[Bobby Bones]

This says Tiger woods forced to playoff.

[Eddie]

Against Rocco Mediate by sinking to for blah, blah, blah.

[Bobby Bones]

He then won the playoff the next.

[Eddie]

Day, which went 19 holes to secure.

[Bobby Bones]

The 18 holes and still a tie.

[Brandon Ray]

That.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

Round.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You have to play a hole. That's crazy.

[Brandon Ray]

All right, I'll give you money. That's crazy, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

So.

[Brandon Ray]

So that's the US Open. So if last night they would have tied because there was like, say, Mac.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think it's the same rules anymore.

[Brandon Ray]

Okay.

[Eddie]

There's no way they had to look back at that and be like, you guys, we can't do that again.

[Brandon Ray]

They did say last night though, that.

[Bobby Bones]

It'S no longer in effect. Here you go. If a playoff is needed at the 2025 US Open, the format will be a two hole aggregate playoff of hole 17 and 18. If still tied, a sudden death playoff will begin on hole 15 and continue through 18. The 18 hole playoff format previously used is no longer in effect. I knew they played a hole 18 holes and you made me feel stupid and I felt stupid and I thought I was stupid.

[Brandon Ray]

Well, I'm sorry I made you feel stupid. $5 I will give you and hopefully that makes you not well.

[Bobby Bones]

I messed up the Hovland thing. I thought the round was over. I swiped out of the screen.

[Brandon Ray]

So should we call it even?

[Bobby Bones]

No, we didn't bet on that.

[Brandon Ray]

We made each other feel stupid.

[Eddie]

You guys are having a moment right now.

[Brandon Ray]

We don't want to make each other feel stupid. Question, though, about. About last night. So the fact that JJ Spawn, Sam Burns, Victor Hovland, Adam Scott are at the top of the leaderboard. Bobby McIntyre, does that kill a little bit of like, man, there's no DeChambeau, there's no Scheffler, there's no McElroy Deschambeau.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't believe made the cut.

[Brandon Ray]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

His enemy Koepka ended up being like plus 5 or plus 6. Never really got back in the mix like the superstars. I don't think Phil made the cut because I saw him giving gifts to some of the crew. If he made that cut, I never saw him again. They don't show those live guys a lot on television.

[Brandon Ray]

They really don't.

[Bobby Bones]

There were no big superstars, which is.

[Brandon Ray]

Rom ended up kind of close.

[Bobby Bones]

Rom was the leader in the clubhouse at plus four. He was like the first guy in when the weather got bad.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So they were like. He made it one of the thing just being plus four, but ended up not happening.

[Brandon Ray]

Like, I like it either way because I like golf.

[Bobby Bones]

And I know we like. If you bet on it, dude. That's why that.

[Brandon Ray]

That too.

[Bobby Bones]

I found myself being irritated at the players, though, because it's just a bunch of kids who grew up rich who had country club access for the most part, but who.

[Brandon Ray]

Well, but then there's the tiger story.

[Bobby Bones]

Who.

[Brandon Ray]

Like, they weren't rich.

[Bobby Bones]

Sure. There's the. And Rory wasn't rich, but most of those are, like, little rich kids who grow up who have access and like, kids who don't have that kind of money don't have access. So you're looking for the most part at a bunch of rich kids who get to be good at the sport because they have access to the sport, and that kind of sucks. And I had a minute with that, but then I realized I bet a thousand bucks on Scheffler and I needed.

[Brandon Ray]

Him to win, then everything was okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think Scheffler was a rich kid, though.

[Brandon Ray]

Well, you just said all of them.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I did not say all of them. I said most. I don't think Scheffler was a rich kid. I think Scheffler ends up moving to Texas and, like, somebody, like, paid for his membership and to get into a club because he was good or somebody. But Rory wasn't rich. I don't know. I just get resentful. Here's the putt. The 64 foot putt to win the championship. Want to cozy it up? Don't need to make it two putts.

[Brandon Ray]

How about one?

[Bobby Bones]

In one of the most unlikely final round Sundays in U.S. open history, J.J.

[Eddie]

Spawn closes the deal with a birdie at the last.

[Bobby Bones]

That's pretty awesome.

[Brandon Ray]

Love that.

[Eddie]

He did not, by the way. Scheffler grew up rich.

[Brandon Ray]

Mm. Mm.

[Bobby Bones]

Right?

[Eddie]

Yeah. His dad was a stay at home mom and then stay at home mom.

[Brandon Ray]

But that's interesting.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And then the mom worked for a law firm, but she wasn't rich. They weren't wealthy by any means.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Cause I think his story was he ended up moving to Texas to work out and somebody paid for his, like, membership dues to get into a club.

[Eddie]

Yeah, they said he borrowed money to be able to play at these memberships or whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'm rooting for the poor golfers. I need to figure out who they are and I want to find out, and that's who I want to root for.

[Eddie]

The poor golf.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, Rory was poor. Scheffler, Tiger, But Tigers.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah, Tiger kind of over.

[Bobby Bones]

John Daly was poor, but he's also old.

[Eddie]

And is he still playing, like in tournament tournaments?

[Bobby Bones]

No, he will show up and play the Masters because he won it before it is.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

He shows up to the Masters and signs at Hooters, though, every time. Yeah. He never won the Masters.

[Brandon Ray]

No.

[Eddie]

His kid's pretty good too, though, isn't he?

[Bobby Bones]

Plays at Arkansas.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Yeah, yeah, sounds good. It was a good round. My father in law text me because we went out to play a couple weeks ago in Branson, and there's a course called Payne's Valley, and the course is a plus, and we shot a par three hole, and I guess Brandon didn't get down to shoot my father in law on time. And so he just inserted a different clip of him teeing off. And It's a par 3. It's like 190, but the clip is like my father in law with a driver.

[Brandon Ray]

Makes us look like a wimp.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. And Brandon doesn't play golf, so Brandon doesn't know, like, the little things.

[Brandon Ray]

I love it.

[Bobby Bones]

And he messaged me and he was like, hey, I don't think that's the same hole. Also, I wouldn't use a driver. He's like, you guys are making me look like a week old man.

[Brandon Ray]

He's the driver for 130 yard part three.

[Bobby Bones]

And I didn't even notice. I was like, oh, yeah, that's a real thing. So we switched the clip back.

[Brandon Ray]

That's okay, Brandon.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's cool.

[Brandon Ray]

You don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it was his first time to shoot golf. Content.

[Brandon Ray]

Yes. And he got great content. Did you?

[Eddie]

I didn't grow up rich, so there you go.

[Bobby Bones]

Amen.

[Eddie]

There it is.

[Bobby Bones]

That very much made up for the Reed swinging mess earlier. Did you see your tea times or whatever? I watched some of the Caitlin Clark game.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah, they won that game.

[Bobby Bones]

They were playing New York. New York hadn't lost a game yet, and so Kellen Clark didn't start. I don't think she was hurt. You know, she had a hurt ankle or something. I don't know.

[Brandon Ray]

Oh, she didn't start.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't believe she started because when the game started, I went over to the app to see where she was and she wasn't listed as one of the five. So either she started and they pulled her out quick or she came off the bench. Either way, When I went, I saw the game was on. I hit the box score real quick. She was not in the front five. So you guys can probably look that up one way or the other. But she comes in and drills three. Three pointers is what? Like, I'm talking logo.

[Reed]

Boom.

[Bobby Bones]

Then they go, hit one to answer. Then boom, she hits another. Then they miss, one takes them.

[Reed]

Boom.

[Brandon Ray]

All threes.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah. Awesome. Like half court. Yes. Like, just chunk and stuff. I don't know if she started or not, but I would also. It also makes sense if she didn't since she was injured and she came off, like, I don't know, a couple weeks of not playing.

[Eddie]

This does say that she did start.

[Bobby Bones]

She did start.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Well, I know she was very limited. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Whenever I checked the box score, she wasn't in the game, so I just figured she didn't start.

[Brandon Ray]

I mean, good for Indianapolis, man. They got a lot of good basketball going on right now.

[Bobby Bones]

They do.

[Brandon Ray]

Good for them.

[Eddie]

Is it weird that it bugs me? The ball is multiple colors.

[Bobby Bones]

You would have hated the ABA then, buddy, back in the day.

[Brandon Ray]

And you would hate Harlem Globetrotters, too.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And you would hate playing on the courts in Harlem. As any ball goes.

[Brandon Ray]

You don't seem like a Harlem guy anyway.

[Eddie]

So it sounds like you guys don't agree with me. Is that what you're trying to say?

[Bobby Bones]

I guess I didn't think about it.

[Eddie]

I don't know why it bugs me. I'm like, watching the game, like, is this. I think of, like, the Globetrotters. I'm like, this doesn't seem like an. I don't know.

[Brandon Ray]

Again, I will say that when it was at the Olympics, when they played with that weird ball.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

That bugged me.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

Because it just looked weird. So. Yeah, I guess, like, when it's in.

[Eddie]

The air spinning, you're just like, oh, looks.

[Bobby Bones]

It reminds me of the three point contest.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Candle Clark started for the Indiana Fever. I don't know. I guess I looked at it when she wasn't in the game. Assume she's coming off injuries. They brought her off the bench. I assumed. Wrong.

[Brandon Ray]

It's okay, man. I assumed it was a 181 whole.

[Bobby Bones]

Playoff, you know, I mean, but mine was based on. I actually looked and she wasn't in.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah. It's okay, though. It's all good, dude. Hey, we all make mistakes, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Thanks, man. Well, no, I said from the beginning, she might not. She might have started. I just did. No big deal, dude.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah, it's no big deal.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Oh, Good.

[Bobby Bones]

I think Cam Ward might be pretty good. Yeah, I'm buying. I'm buying it.

[Eddie]

His jersey.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm just buying it. He's gonna.

[Brandon Ray]

He's gonna be good. And what's up with Cam Newton? He's.

[Bobby Bones]

He retired.

[Brandon Ray]

No, no, he's doing something with the Titans.

[Bobby Bones]

No, he bought. Did you fall for that?

[Brandon Ray]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

I think I saw it too. It's like Cam Newton buys into the ownership of the Titans. It was a parody account.

[Brandon Ray]

That wouldn't be weird to me though. It'd be like, okay, cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Why does Cam Newton have anything to do with the Titans?

[Brandon Ray]

No clue. Why does anyone buy any in a team? Why would Jordan buy on in Charlotte? I don't know. He did grow up. I understand. I feel like an idiot now.

[Bobby Bones]

Why?

[Eddie]

Just dug yourself a deeper hole.

[Bobby Bones]

I fell for a parody account too. Hey, can you look at the ratings? Let me see the ratings of it.

[Brandon Ray]

That should be illegal. Those parody accounts should be illegal.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, NBA Central is good. NBA Central.

[Brandon Ray]

They got me like scammers.

[Bobby Bones]

You got sent, let me see here. Ratings for Liberty vs Fever. Because I saw they had 20 million viewers. I was gonna talk about that.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I saw that too.

[Brandon Ray]

I mean, you saw it, right, Brandon?

[Bobby Bones]

But it wasn't that big.

[Eddie]

It wasn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait. The game led to record breaking viewership with almost. With almost 21 million people watching.

[Eddie]

But look at that go on their actual site.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm. I googled it.

[Brandon Ray]

Did you see that on parody account?

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe. It was like with clips and stuff too.

[Eddie]

So I will say I saw the same thing as a parody account and multiple people like reported on it. And then some took their stuff down. This says 2.2 million.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I see that too. It says almost 2.1 million people watch the Fever hand the Liberty their first lost. It was the most watched game. And then it says overall viewership. A more detailed breakdown. The game was a record breaking with almost 21 million people watching. Maybe they mean in the arena.

[Brandon Ray]

Oh, a lot of people in one arena.

[Bobby Bones]

It's okay. I saw the Cam Newton thing. But that was such a good. I feel like that was so over the top that there's no.

[Brandon Ray]

Really? You thought that was over the top?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, there was no reason he should buy in with the Titans. They have a single owner. It's a family.

[Brandon Ray]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And he didn't play here. There's really no time.

[Brandon Ray]

I know, I know. I just saw it. I'm like, wow. Well, that's cool. Good for him. Business venture.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

What makes you Think Cam's gonna be good? Like, what's going on? Why do you think that?

[Bobby Bones]

How the coaches talk about him, how fast he's processing things, how the coach is talking about how he's able to hear him talking to him through the headset while he's talking to everybody else. And the coach like, I need to wait till you finish talking. And Cam's like, no, just tell me while I'm talking. I'm good.

[Brandon Ray]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

So it's little things like that.

[Brandon Ray]

I can't do that.

[Bobby Bones]

That's true.

[Brandon Ray]

Like, if I'm talking, I'm not listening to what you're saying to me.

[Bobby Bones]

That's true. You're watching stick.

[Brandon Ray]

I started watching stick. I'm caught up with stick. I like it.

[Bobby Bones]

It's okay.

[Brandon Ray]

Like, I like the storyline. It's kind. I don't know why, but I like a little corny. It's a little corny. Owen Wilson talks a lot, but that's kind of his thing. But, like, I like. I like golf movies. Like, I like Tin Cup. I like any kind of I like golf movies.

[Bobby Bones]

This is a TV show that feels like he went and found Happy Gilmore. It's like Owen Wilson who used to be a pro, he blew up on a golf course, had to retire. He's working at a golf shop, and he sees this kid who works like a supermarket hitting balls of driving range and is like, I'm gonna be your mentor.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah. He wants to like, make. Make him famous. Like, he wants to make him a professional golfer.

[Eddie]

I have seen the commercials. I haven't watched it yet, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it looks you'd like it.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You're not really a Tokyo guy, so you'd like it.

[Eddie]

That's true.

[Brandon Ray]

Strike you a Ted Lasso.

[Bobby Bones]

Like Ted Lasso, but golf? No, because it's not as, like, charming.

[Eddie]

Okay. Ted Lasso is awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Ted Lasso's, like, funny and like.

[Brandon Ray]

Life lessons in there.

[Bobby Bones]

This show is kind of goofy even when it doesn't mean to be.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It's even shot goofy. Ted Lasso, I think, is done with purpose. All of that is done with purpose. This. Sometimes you're like, yeah, you're being a little corny here.

[Brandon Ray]

I don't like the 30 minute episodes. You like that? Yeah, I feel like I'm watching, it's just over all of a sudden.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, here's why I like it, because I don't really like the show that much. Okay.

[Brandon Ray]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

So I like for it to be over fast.

[Brandon Ray]

Okay, that makes sense. See, I like the show And I want it to be long.

[Bobby Bones]

That would make sense. Yeah, that would make sense. All right, I think we're done here. Kevin, you have anything?

[Eddie]

Yeah. Oh, I know we don't talk a lot of baseball here, but I gotta say it. Red Sox traded Rafael Devers, and I just don't understand it.

[Bobby Bones]

And I have to beat the Yankees.

[Eddie]

Right after they beat the Yankees. Swept the Yankees, finally feeling good for the first time all year. Still fresh, five years off that Mookie trade. And they do this again. And I'm. Honestly, I'm not. I'm not watching their games anymore this year. I am boycotting the Red Sox in 2025. I'm dead serious. I deleted them off my app for all the notifications and everything. They start winning, I can't stand this ownership and this front office. Can't stand them. It was a great, great Sunday. Great Father's Day. And then that news hit and ruined my day. So I need a new team.

[Brandon Ray]

You think it was just because he refused to play third base, that whole thing?

[Eddie]

I think their egos got hit, The Red Sox is. But the problem with them, I don't think he's the best teammate. I don't think he's the best person. But they started all this by not being transparent with him with the whole Bregman signing back in spring. And then it just kind of steamrolled from there. And their egos got hit because he stood up to him.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Did the Red Sox at least get.

[Eddie]

No.

[Reed]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, the Bain trade was pretty monumental.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That was a big trade, too, until you kind of look at it. And Orlando gives up all those picks. Except Orlando's going to be really good for the next five years, so it's not like they're trading anything in the top 10, 12, 15 picks.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I think they're trying to go all in.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Right.

[Eddie]

They're like, we need another score.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

Need to help out Paolo for sure.

[Bobby Bones]

With Paolo with the bag now.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I guess Anthony Black's gonna play point guard.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah. And the east is wide open, so.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Brandon Ray]

I mean, I think Milwaukee should keep.

[Bobby Bones]

Giannis, honestly, at this point.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Even a Giannis with four scrubs.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Can probably have a shot at the.

[Brandon Ray]

Eastern Conference final, like the deadline. If you guys are sucking, then. Then you. Then you flip them. So. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And then Memphis. What are they going to do? And they get. They. I think they can't really trade Morant, though. They're paying him 50 million a year. You can't just get rid of a 50 million dollar player. There are only a few places that he could even go. Chicago would be an option.

[Brandon Ray]

And he's still got all the baggage, too, so it's like.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, where else does he go? Yeah, you turn him to Atlanta, but for Trey Young.

[Eddie]

And it's kind of like the same player.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, just. I mean, I'd rather have Trey Young.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah, same.

[Eddie]

Yeah, probably.

[Brandon Ray]

Wow.

[Eddie]

That's crazy to say, actually, but, yeah, when you think about it. Yeah, it's like, yeah, Yeah, I guess that's. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So I don't know.

[Eddie]

They're in a tough spot.

[Bobby Bones]

It's. I don't. I mean, they're. Jaren Jackson Jr. Whatever, he's really good. I think they'll move him because this contract also isn't $50 million. I think they're paying him like, between like, 18 to 23 million, something like that. You can move that contract. And he's really good. He's gonna want. He's gonna want a lot more than that.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, they're probably starting over.

[Bobby Bones]

Think about Bane, though. He has five years on his deal, so you know what you're getting with him.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah, he's good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he's like, low key.

[Brandon Ray]

Good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Good. All right, we're done. Thank you. We will see you later on this week. Eddie, anything?

[Brandon Ray]

No, man. I thought you guys were still talking about baseball, and I'm like, bane, Giannis, this trying to catch. Then I realized, oh, you guys moved on to basketball. Got it.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, he was talking about the Devers trade. And I said, hey, speaking of trades, Bane went from the grid to Orlando.

[Brandon Ray]

Yeah. For. It took me a minute to get caught up.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you guys are like, you're talking about Giannis Garcia para.

[Brandon Ray]

Got it. No, man, that's it, dude. We're good.
