Pat McAfee
Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to our humble abode, the Thunderdome. On this Dechambro. Tuesday, August 12, 2025. This program begins now. Football is majestic. Football is magical. And if you look a couple days from now to Thursday, and then you look three weeks ahead of that, guess what's happening. The NFL season's kicking off. Okay, we did it. We did it. Now, when we say we made it to that day for the next three weeks and two days certainly will. We certainly will say, wow, what a great off season it has been. And we've been so incredibly thankful to all the sports and the athletes and all the coaches and you get it. That have kind of carried us for the last few months. And then training camp comes and we get that early spike of adrenaline where, oh, my God, the pads are hitting, the helmets are clashing, and football is back then we had a little bit of a down period where it's like, what's the news? Well, people are pissed about their contracts. All right, we can talk about that. It's not really happy, though. It's like, football is back. We should be happy. It's like, well, these people aren't happy. Also had a couple more holdings that I don't think we knew about there for a while. Seem to get a little bit more rear with the biggest head in all the football over there in Pittsburgh. Well, then there's not only contract disputes, there's injuries, too. Your favorite player is not going to play this season.
Boston Connor
Terrible.
Pat McAfee
Watch this. Something happened at practice. Geez. That's a little negative, too. So we got contract issues, we got injuries that are a little bit negative. But, you know, we do have. We have highlights every single day. Yes. We have player arcs coming and going. Literally as the days go by, as we are off, I watched a man named Joe Milton go from being traded away from New England after getting drafted in the same draft class as Drake May out of Tennessee. With such an incredible arm and athletic ability and ability to do a backflip and full pads at quarterback. He traded from New England down to Dallas. I saw him at training camp over there in Oxnard. He threw a ball 400 yards. This guy threw a 350 yard completion. Gone the Internet lit. Joe Milton's the guy. Yeah. Can't spell Milton without lit. That is certainly in the middle of his name. That's how he plays the football. This guy's getting an opportunity. Dak needs to watch himself now. Or maybe if Dak slips up again, or maybe if he has such a good training camp, we can Trade him away, get some pieces back. Joe Milton's going to be the guy. And he played in the game and he threw another ball 350 yards and it was only supposed to be a 25 yard ball. And boy, the Internet turned on him quickly. Every single meme or gif that you could have about overthrowing something. Peyton Manning lighting up that make a wish kid from Saturday Night Live was all over the Internet, numerous things. Joe Milton came and was a superstar in preseason and then all of a sudden everybody just lost faith in him and said, this is Joe Milton football, actually, you guys all loved him. That's what training camp football is all about. We think Joe will be back. We think the contracts will get settled. We think the people that get hurt will get healthy. And we think that when the teams kick off three weeks and two days, we're gonna have the greatest NFL season of all time. So we have to hold on to that hope. And today it's gonna be a great conversation about the hope of the future. We actually have an Everything DB special today for you that you're gonna love called Sophomore Superstars in a secondary. Oh, you know who put it together? Nine year NFL vet, ladies and gentlemen, Darius J. Bowler. Sophomore Superstars. We gave away the list whenever we were talking to Kassaria. A coup. But we didn't dive into why that list was created. We'll certainly do that today. The future of the league is very bright. I'm not just talking about in the secondary, which it certainly is. There was a lot of guys that could have been named to this particular graphic and everything like that. But the league is getting young. It feels like. Doesn't it feel like we have a next generation kind of taking over everything across?
Ty Schmidt
Oh, yeah. The people in charge are always trying to get younger, bigger, stronger, faster. And then so as you get older, we got, like you mentioned, some of these hold ins trying to get your money. That's why it's so important for us. You got to get your money when you can. You got to strike when you iron. Hot iron head, big head over there, he's trying to get his money, which he's earned all pro season last year. Some other guys, James Cook, he's trying to get his money in running back position, which we know is tough, but yes. Terry McLaurin, Terry Mack, Trey. So the people are always trying to get their money and the people in charge are always trying to get younger and cheaper.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, younger, cheaper. Your piece of gum, once your flavor kind of wears out or gets thin, get A new look at this one.
Ty Schmidt
Danny Smith.
Pat McAfee
Look how fresh this is. Danny Smith takes 10 of them. Look how fresh these are. Look how cheap they are too, compared to you. What do you want? That's what I thought. Oh, trade him the hell out of town. That is a mentality that some ownership has, you know, down there in Dallas. We know it's ugly with Micah. Okay. Just because how everything's gone. Yesterday, I feel like we got some breaking news that there was in Jerry's idea mind, there was a handshake agreement with Micah. Micah backs out on deal. Is how Jerry says this, right? Micah says, I never agreed to a deal. I have an agent. Mulguetta is my agent. We were maybe just talking. You know who I didn't know we were in the middle of an actual negotiation. I didn't know it was an active type of situation that was happening in that conversation. If Mikey even thinks that that conversation ever took place. And maybe Jerry sees it vastly different and all that, but it feels like there is a disrespect situation happening between those two. That's never good, especially in business. 5th year guy with the amount of impact that he's had, you would have thought his deal would have been been done already been done, in fact. It's not going to be problematic. Cam Hayward in Pittsburgh. Let's go to talks to the table at Boston, Connor at Ty Schmidt. Come on, man. You dropped a whoa there. Me too, because Cam was on show.
Boston Connor
Oh, yeah.
Pat McAfee
Cam was on show when we were up early. Trove happy. T.J. watt was like, let's talk about how much money this guy right in his face. We were doing that.
Boston Connor
Yeah, yeah, right.
Pat McAfee
Numerous times. Hey, how much. How. How happy are you for this guy with the amount of money he got? And. And Cam Hayward's thinking, hey, everybody's getting money these days. DK got $30 million. He's never played here. I don't think his dad played here. I don't think his brother played here. He's just getting whatever the hell he wants. Jalen Ramsey, I don't think he's ever been. Has he ever been to Pittsburgh? He's getting all the money he wants. Oh, you got Aaron Rodgers paying him $10 million.
Boston Connor
He wasn't here all off season.
Pat McAfee
Gary Slayer. Are we paying him? John New? John Smith. He's getting paid. What, have I been here 100 years? Oh, I'm actually the second longest tenured Pittsburgh Steeler in a tie, I believe, with Mike Webster. Ben Roethlisberger's number one longest Tenured Pittsburgh Steeler Cam Hayward's second longest tenured Pittsburgh Steeler. Wow. In a town where it's, you know, that does that matters means something. That's why when he comes on the show, we think to ourselves, hey, massive head guy, how about your boy TJ getting broken off? And in his head, massive head, he's like, yeah, everybody's getting broken off but me. That is seemingly what is kind of happening over there. And he said in the negotiations last year, because they just did a new deal, which is what a lot of yinzers are saying. They're like, cam, we love you, we appreciate you.
Darius Butler
One year ago you decided you, you.
Pat McAfee
Signed a deal literally just last year. And he said that whenever we did that deal, cuz he was coming off, I think a two sack season maybe or something like that. He said that when I make all Pro, I would like us to revisit this. Then he goes ahead and makes all pro and he's like, excuse me, there's a conversation to be had. I don't think anybody knew that that was even a situation. Then yesterday, he addresses the media, Pittsburgh media. He knows that if he says anything like this, it's going to become a thing. Feels like it's a little bit of a thing for a guy that we were talking to, as if he's a player, coach, leader for that Pittsburgh Steelers team. We haven't talked about this at all. No, at all. And it feels like it might be a real thing.
Boston Connor
Yeah. Because even with the TJ stuff where it's like, hey, the TJ is going to get done, you know, because he was the highest paid player, that assumption maybe we didn't have, but when it came to a player like Cam, not the highest paid, he is the face of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is Pittsburgh. That was just assumed. The part that I thought was interesting that you kind of left out was that when he said, hey, I'm going to come like after I have an all pro year, I want to revisit this contract, he said that they giggled at him. And that to me is the most disrespectful if the people that are paying you the money are giggling.
Pat McAfee
Am I?
Boston Connor
Yeah.
Pat McAfee
Is that funny to you? Do I amuse you?
Boston Connor
Think I'm going to. You don't think I'm going to be funny how? What's that supposed to be? What's a. You have giggled a little bit.
Pat McAfee
You disrespected him.
Boston Connor
Yeah, a little bit.
Pat McAfee
You're spinning his face head like that. Career like this, huh? You Disrespected him a little bit. Family like this, I don't know. A lot of people are saying, 15 million bucks, your 15th year, bub. We're building up a team to win a Super bowl for this, for you, basically because you're one of the pillars.
Boston Connor
You can't spell Pittsburgh without Hayward.
Pat McAfee
Bottom line, never thought about that.
Ty Schmidt
True.
Boston Connor
Bottom line. It's true.
Pat McAfee
The A word. Silent, huh?
AJ Hawk
Yeah.
Boston Connor
Same with the D. I kind of like it.
AJ Hawk
Getting too chummy around there. You know, everything's great. Hey, we're gonna go win the Super Bowl. They need a little. Little steel in the water.
Pat McAfee
Okay, so let's go to one half of the Hammer Cowboys. I will speak for the entire city of Cincinnati. How's it feel? So, you know, because the Cincinnati Bengals fans were attacking us for only mentioning the Trey Hendrickson situation, but I feel like we brought up the TJ Watt situation more than anybody else. So I would like to say that I feel like we did that. It ended up getting done, which what everybody was saying, even though I was saying to them, why is he not there if it's going to get done? Cam Hayward thing. Him speaking out this late in the camp, I think is interesting because they've been around each other. He's been there, he's been in the building. They've obviously seen each other. We've seen the way that training camp is not only as kids at fan. As a fan at that thing, but actually the way it operates. They're very much all kind of with each other the entire time. How's. What are your thoughts?
Darius Butler
I assume the team knew about this. Obviously, you would think. I don't think any of the fans knew this. When Sheffield. I mean, when we were there, I mean, everything was. Was hunky dory. You talked about him and TJ coming up on stage, and then we were down on the sideline for practice. I. I watched Cam practice. He was sweating his balls off. I mean, it was super hot. He was working very hard.
Pat McAfee
And all that juice. It was hot, wasn't. It wasn't all that juice.
Boston Connor
It was quiet.
Darius Butler
There was a lot of juice pouring out of their pores because they were working so goddamn hard. This isn't about yelling and screaming. This is putting in work on the field.
Pat McAfee
But.
Darius Butler
No, but then, like, in the last, what, three to seven days, it was. I can't remember exactly because we weren shefty, came out and said, oh, there's quietly, like, a thing going on with Cam Hayward. He hasn't been doing team drills And.
Bryson DeChambeau
I was like, oh, that's it.
Darius Butler
Like I watched this man practice. So I was like, that's nothing or whatever. And then Cam comes out yesterday and says, and he doesn't say, like, hey, I'm not gonna not sit out regular season games. He didn't say he would. He didn't say he wouldn't either. But then, you know, you look at it like he did get his, his two year 30 million. I believe it's September of 2024. So like that was.
Pat McAfee
And then.
Darius Butler
But he did, he did. He came in and he had another all pro season. He has 30 sacks in his in the last four years.
Pat McAfee
Four time all pro, right?
Darius Butler
Yes. Four time first team all pro, one time second team all pro. So like, I mean he's been there.
Pat McAfee
He'S done pretty good little career. He disrespect them more.
Darius Butler
D tackle.
Pat McAfee
I understand.
Darius Butler
But I did see our correspondent for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mark Kaboli said that he thinks there is a way to easily get this done, make both sides happy. So that's where I'm at right now.
Pat McAfee
Do I.
Darius Butler
Do I love that it's happened right now? No, because things have been so awesome and, and hunky Dory over there in, in Pittsburgh.
Pat McAfee
Trey Stone, I figured out too, if it means he's.
Darius Butler
Oh, no, I know. You don't have to say. Also, I don't think Hayward or Pittsburgh shares any of the same letters.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, H is in there for sure.
Darius Butler
Oh yeah, that one.
Pat McAfee
Pretty big news. Wow. Yeah. What? Thank you, Dr. Pepper.
Boston Connor
Love you, Pep.
Pat McAfee
The official drink of the Thunderdome, but not only Thunderdome of Fansville as well. Oh, yeah, that's right. Do you know that Dr. Pepper has been with college football for 88 years?
Boston Connor
88.
Pat McAfee
Wow.
Boston Connor
Holy.
Pat McAfee
Do you know how I know that?
Boston Connor
Wow.
Pat McAfee
They sent me over a thing saying, hey, you know, because this Dr. Pepper deal. A little behind the scenes footage or info. Was it the SEC championship game? I was at down there on the sideline. Yeah. Where they were preparing for the.
AJ Hawk
Yeah, the tuition talks.
Pat McAfee
The tuition toss. The CEO of Dr. Pepper was down there. And I think I Even on the show I said, I think I just talked to the CEO because I was chirping during commercial break at the people that are over there. I thought it was the people rehearsing it, but it was also the entire Dr. Pepper corporate executive team. The E suite, I guess was just. Or the C suite, whatever the hell it is, was out there. I had no idea. So I meet him and the gentleman, Tim starts looking into I guess our operation, everything and is like, hey, we would like to be a part. If you guys would like. Do you guys like Dr. Pepper? What's their first question? And we're like, love it, brother. Yeah, yeah, we like Dr. Pepper. What do you think? And we started chit chatting and they were like, we would love to become the official drink of the Thunderdome. And I'm like, you got it. Deal. Shout out to Dr. Pepper. We appreciate the hell out of you.
AJ Hawk
Hell yeah.
Boston Connor
Love you, doctor.
Pat McAfee
Hey, is it Saturday? Not yet. But when it is, like when you wake up and it's a Saturday. Yep. What are you drinking?
AJ Hawk
Dr. Pepper.
Boston Connor
Every time.
Pat McAfee
Is this Saturday?
AJ Hawk
Yeah. Hypothetically speaking, yes, it is Saturday.
Pat McAfee
If it is Saturday.
AJ Hawk
Yeah.
Boston Connor
Feels like it.
Pat McAfee
Feels like drinking Dr. Pepper. Okay.
AJ Hawk
Oh, yeah, it's Saturday. I'm drinking Dr. Pepper.
Pat McAfee
What about Friday?
AJ Hawk
Hell, if it's Friday, Yeah.
Pat McAfee
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. But if it's Saturday, we'll definitely talk about it. Let's talk about some more news. Shout out to Dr. Pepper. We appreciate you legit. That's a big deal for our company. Oh, yeah, really cool.
Boston Connor
Yeah, very.
Pat McAfee
And also their company dogs, if you look into the way they've come to where they are, the entirety of it. Good business down there in. In Texas. Beautiful. Let go. Yeah, we appreciate Shout out. Didn't want to say city, but shout out the way I went swimming down there in Baylor.
AJ Hawk
That's right.
Pat McAfee
You know, did the entire thing Jim.
Boston Connor
And Joanna Gaines saw there.
Pat McAfee
Absolutely.
Boston Connor
Magnolia Farms.
Pat McAfee
Love being diner. Watched some docs about that place. Sure. There's a religion down there.
Ty Schmidt
Waco.
Pat McAfee
Yeah.
Boston Connor
Cool docu series.
Darius Butler
They were very serious about there.
Pat McAfee
Not.
Bryson DeChambeau
They were serious.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. The Davidians really played no games.
Ty Schmidt
But he is Christian, I'm assuming.
Pat McAfee
What's that?
Darius Butler
Christian branch?
Ty Schmidt
A branch of Christianity?
Pat McAfee
Nah, I don't know. I don't think anybody's claiming that. No, no, certainly not. No, it is. It was complete. You look into it someday. But what you need to know is from that moment forward, that city and that area, Dr. Pepper's a mass piece of it, had become beautiful. And we're very thankful for Dr. Pepper. I think we even did a tour of the damn museum. Whenever we went down, we could have went and toured the facility. I think whatever. Dr. Pepper, we appreciate the hell out of him. There's some other news out of the NFL that is a bummer. And I talked about this earlier. Hey, Ty.
AJ Hawk
Yeah.
Darius Butler
Oh, no.
Pat McAfee
Oh, what's going on with Jordan, love?
AJ Hawk
You know what? He, he listen. He banged his hand On a helmet on his last play of the game against the Jets. Anytime something like this comes out where they have to like, really reassure you, like, hey, this is very minor. It's not a big deal. He's not going to miss week one of the season. It is a ligament injury in his throwing hand and his third thumb. So I'm, I'm trying not to, you know, hit the doomsday button and make a big deal because it sounds like he is going to be able to play Week 1, but I need to see Jordan Love practicing. You know, I, I, I don't want him week one being the next time he throws a football. And unfortunately, this has kind of been outside of his first year as a starter where he kind of came onto the scene and the packers went to the playoffs and beat the hell out of the Cowboys. Like, this is he kind of last year he got hurt before he could even get started and it kind of hampered him throughout the whole year. So I'm hoping that this really is not as serious as they're saying, but anytime your starting quarterback has a ligament injury in the thumb of his throwing hand, yeah, there's going to be a little cause for concern going into the, the regular.
Pat McAfee
It's his left hand. It's his left hand. Left hand. Right.
AJ Hawk
That would be, that'd be great news.
Pat McAfee
Left.
Boston Connor
Okay.
AJ Hawk
So a lot of the stuff I was reading was saying it was throwing hand, which is why I was.
Pat McAfee
No, no pants. No pants.
AJ Hawk
But if it is, if left hand, no big deal. But either way, like, still stinks. Yeah, he's not going to be practicing for probably the rest of of camp, which sucks.
Pat McAfee
Let's talk about more procedures. Landon Dickerson. It's being reported that he had a meniscus situation. Now it does it. A full tear, partial tear. He's getting a procedure. They're saying they're hoping he's back for regular season, which would be an insane feat, especially for a man of his size. I've had my meniscus done a couple of different times. It's always taken me multiple, like month and a half, two months maybe even to get back. And then I've seen a teammate get a meniscus procedure done and be back in like three, four weeks. So I think there's levels to the shit when it comes to the meniscus, but nonetheless, still a very real procedure and still very real rehab to get that thing back on the other side.
Ty Schmidt
Yeah, he's an absolute dog, though. So I, and I may be wrong here, but the Amount of offensive linemen I've been around especially that are built and look like him. I expect him to be out there.
Pat McAfee
What's that mean?
Ty Schmidt
I.
Pat McAfee
You're saying white guy? He's white.
Ty Schmidt
Put his picture back up again, please.
Pat McAfee
Was he.
Ty Schmidt
Didn't he play through some shit last year?
AJ Hawk
I was probably.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, in college. I guess he had some injuries to his legs, his knees, lower body. I don't remember exactly what they were. I don't want to pinpoint it. But since he's got to the Eagles, it's been like locked in. So this would be. Yeah, I think so too. Especially with the way that offensive line is and if they're projecting it already, there's a reason. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a college football national champion. Super bowl champion. Radicup went. Ladies and gentlemen, A.J. hawkins. Hawker. Good to see you, brother. We're about to have a life changing moment happen here in a matter of moments. But before we get to that, anything you want to hit on that? We just chit chatted about that. Maybe you had some extra thoughts that we didn't scurry. Cam Hayward and Steelers. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Jordan Love, baby. He's getting a procedure. Landon Dickerson, he's going to be back for the season opener in three weeks. In two days. And Dr. Pepper, official drink of Thunderdome. Anything you like to talk about?
Bailey McComas
Yeah, I know. What.
Pat McAfee
What?
Bailey McComas
Chuck Alderton. I believe he was the Dr. Pepper guy who came with the. The formula that Dr. Pepper is and what we have now these days.
Bryson DeChambeau
So.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, that.
Bailey McComas
Shout out to Chuck. Shout out to. To Dr. Pepper man. Who doesn't like a nice ice cold Dr. Pepper.
Boston Connor
Thank you, Chuck.
Pat McAfee
23 flavors.
Bailey McComas
What's so funny? What are we laughing at?
Pat McAfee
This one obscures that. Just wondering. I think your connection's terrible. I believe it. He's just. You got cut off there. I think you were saying? Everybody knows Chuck. Yeah.
AJ Hawk
Yep, there it goes.
Pat McAfee
Had a good read on that. Charles.
Darius Butler
Charles Alderton.
Pat McAfee
Yep.
Darius Butler
He graded Dr. Pepper.
Pat McAfee
Okay. That is such an AJ Hawk. All right, before we have AJ come back, we have. We have the opportunity once again to be a part of a moment that'll change you know, somebody's life. But not only this particular person, his entire family, his entire community, his entire school. IMG Geez. Feels like there's a lot of these coming out of this particular high school. This high school had a first. Our top 10 pick in. I forget how many different drafts over the last eight years.
Boston Connor
Yeah, it's like eight straight years.
Pat McAfee
Eight straight years. Top 10. Pick this particular high school. Well, I think there's another dog coming out of there, at least. Ladies and gentlemen, five stars, edge rusher. From IMG, I believe he's 6, 4, 2. 40. Ladies and gentlemen, Jake Cruel. How are you, Jake?
Jake Cruel
I'm great. Thank you guys for having me on.
AJ Hawk
This is.
Jake Cruel
This is gonna be awesome.
Pat McAfee
Jake, we're so incredibly lucky to have you. I believe is this family alongside of you here. What are their names?
Jake Cruel
Yeah, I got my mom right here.
Pat McAfee
That's.
Jake Cruel
Her name's Amy. Here's my dad. That's Corey.
Pat McAfee
Ms. Amy, Mr. Corey. Congratulations on raising a hell of a boy. Hell of a boy. I don't think they can hear us. Maybe because you have headphones on, so.
Jake Cruel
No, sir, they cannot.
Pat McAfee
All right, Jake, we appreciate you letting us be a part of this. We know your final three. I think the entire world knows your entire three. With Ole Miss, Texas and Oklahoma, you'll be heading to the sec. The entire sec. Twitter, World X World was a buzz last night. Excited to hear where you're headed. Why don't you let us all know where you'll continue your football career at, Dog.
Jake Cruel
Yes, sir. Thank you for having me on. First, I gotta thank God. I grew up Catholic, went to Catholic school my whole life. So it's been a huge part of my life just having faith. It's kind of guided me in the right direction. The next thing I got to go into is my youth football coaches. That's where it all started. They kind of gave me the passion to want to do this at the next level. After that, back to my old high school, Bishop Moore. They were a huge thing of getting me to where I am now. After that, I have all my IMG coaches. This is the best high school in the country. It's made me the player I am. It's the reason I'm getting to go to all these top schools. And with that comes all my amazing teammates right here. Yeah. So getting to compete with them every single day, that's what makes you better, right? Iron Sharp. It's iron. Wouldn't be who I am without that. After that, Don Zelotti, he found me. He's the reason I'm at img. He scouted me when I was a little scrawny white kid over at Bishop Moore. But now I'm here now, and we're playing with the best. We're competing with the best. After that, Aaron Jones at Trenchman Academy. He's my position trainer. He's taught me all the Technique, I know a lot of people say when they watch me on film is that I'm a technician. I give a lot of credit to him for that. Like, he's taught me so much about football. The passion I have for the game, the dedication, the obsessiveness of wanting to be great, of wanting to make sure all your techniques are right after that. Ben Daley Cruz, the Daily Cruz sports performance, he's my physical trainer. He makes sure I stay away from injuries. He keeps my body right no matter what. A lot of the bend, a lot of the explosiveness, that's thanks to him. And lastly, my advisor, my recruiting advisor, Cliff Hill from West Virginia.
Pat McAfee
What? Yes, sir.
Jake Cruel
West Virginia coal miner.
Pat McAfee
Hell, yeah, brother.
Jake Cruel
Yes, sir. Yeah. He keeps my head straight. He's made sure I keep the main thing. The main thing. Made sure I'm focused throughout this whole process. He's been. He's been awesome for me. And lastly, my parents, I can't do anything without them. They've been so supportive of me, all the opportunities I have. I wouldn't be here without them. So they're awesome, and I love them so much. But with all that being said for this next chapter of my football career, I'm going to be chasing SEC championships, chasing national championships, chasing greatness at the University of Oklahoma.
Pat McAfee
Congratulations to Oklahoma. Congratulations to the crews. Congratulations to you, Jake. And congratulations, Boomer. I know. Oh, I can't hear shit. Love y'. All. Yeah, yeah, we're good.
Boston Connor
We're back.
Pat McAfee
Hey, we'll let you get to your celebration, brother. Boomer, Sooner World is gonna light up because of this news. And you talked about yourself being a technician. We watched your film earlier today. You had a couple dip rips. Couple. I mean, you are bend. Yeah. You're a weapon, dude. We cannot wait to watch you get out there to Oklahoma. Why was that inevitably your decision? And how excited are you to get out there at a beautiful Norman?
Jake Cruel
Yeah, I think the number one thing it came down to is trust. I've known that coaching staff for a while. Coach Chavis has been awesome to me. I've known him for such a long time. He's kept the same thing. The same thing, no matter what. I love the defense Coach Venables has. It's super aggressive. They chase TFLs. And the way you get sacks, which is what I like to do, is you got to get them behind in the chains. So playing that aggressive style, that leads to more sacks, I think that was the main thing when it led to making my decision.
Pat McAfee
Jake, you're unbelievable to watch. I'm thankful to have learned your story. Your parents should be incredibly proud of the boy that they raised. Your speech was epic. You think? And everybody, including the Catholic church.
Boston Connor
Yeah.
Pat McAfee
Amen, brother. Congratulations, Pat.
Jake Cruel
One more thing, One more thing before. Before I leave. I know you're a fan of img.
Pat McAfee
Yeah.
Jake Cruel
I want to invite you to come down here, come see the boys, and hopefully I want to come up to Indianapolis, maybe do an internship or something. I just want to learn a lot, a lot about you and how you do everything.
Pat McAfee
Hey, you got it, brother. We'll come down there. No problem at all. Yeah. Deal. Hey, put her out there, pal. Y. And that is Jerry and Micah. Deal. Now we're going on. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Boston Connor
It's real. No.
Jake Cruel
Dallas Cowboys.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. Congratulations. Good luck in Oklahoma, ladies and gentlemen.
Jake Cruel
Yes, sir. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Pat McAfee
And the next Sooner J. Crew. All right, so we got to get him up here. Yeah, yeah. 64230. He. He's going to have to relax a little bit, though. Yeah.
Boston Connor
Earn his strike.
Pat McAfee
I mean, don't love that some 17 year old's walking in here and I go look up at him.
Boston Connor
Yeah. But we got a national champion that we can kind of test.
AJ Hawk
Couple one on ones with Debo.
Boston Connor
You want to see what you got? You want to change greatness? We got greatness sitting over there. Goldfish, right?
Pat McAfee
This guy's got two rings, bro. Yeah. Not just goldfish.
Boston Connor
Not just goldfish and cookies and candy.
Pat McAfee
Burritos and fat and starburst.
Boston Connor
Anything that is edible.
Ty Schmidt
Bone experience.
Boston Connor
Animals, raccoons.
Pat McAfee
And he's drinking a nice cold Dr. Pepper.
Boston Connor
A little bit of that sweet nectar. Dr. Pepper.
Pat McAfee
Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, with great connection, a college football national champ and a Super bowl champion riding cup winner, A.J.
Boston Connor
Hall.
Pat McAfee
A.J. great to see you, buddy.
Bailey McComas
Great to be back.
Pat McAfee
Yeah.
Bailey McComas
Congrats to Jake. Oklahoma.
Pat McAfee
Yeah.
Bailey McComas
Great school. I do like how he bends around the edge. No question, dude.
Pat McAfee
How about that? He hit him with a little altitude.
Bailey McComas
You can't teach that bend, man. You really can't.
Pat McAfee
It's like his third one. I think we all know he'll be facing this way.
Boston Connor
They're coming.
Pat McAfee
There's one where he's coming.
Bailey McComas
Oh, beautiful long arm right there.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, he's got it all. He said something, but, you know, we're at a different time. Oh, much at img. I mean, he was thinking a straight cut. This is the one. No, no, that's not the one. He's got a turnstile. This is the one. This is the one. Ah, that one. Show hands. Duck. That is. Yeah, he's a weapon. He, he had a, a recruiting specialist at a West Virginia shout out. Yeah. He had a trainer, strength coach, technician. Yeah.
AJ Hawk
Position coach.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. And it's all gonna, it's all gonna work.
Boston Connor
Yeah, it's all gonna work.
Pat McAfee
This is it. They have the blueprint.
Boston Connor
What's insane too is like how much bigger everybody like the, some of these dudes come on here and like he plays edge but he's still in high school. How many, how much weight realistically will these kids put on in the first year?
Pat McAfee
He'll be 250. No problem.
Boston Connor
At least 10.
Pat McAfee
I mean like that will be too now. Img though I think they probably have good strength. Oh yeah, you're probably right. If I had a guess.
Bailey McComas
But just age, you just grow into your body, you know, you know how you grow into like you, you become a man in college. This first couple of years especially.
Pat McAfee
Did you see that kid go from Arkansas to Cal, that wide receiver?
Boston Connor
Yes. Yeah. Was that real?
Pat McAfee
That didn't feel real. That had to be at least a year and a half. A lot of people are saying it wasn't. But even if it was just a six month transformation or a seven month transformation from the ages of 18 to AJ's point to 23, your body, let alone if you're going to have first class strength and conditioning and nutrition and everything like that, your body's naturally going to change. I mean that's just going to happen. Some of these dudes that we've seen in the past have gone from like actually 6 foot tall 185 to somehow 63255 in a 4 to 5 year period. It's like there's no way when they were recruiting you they had any idea that this was possible. But it's like a lot of hard work to get to that point. Those workouts in college are a fucking nightmare. I don't know if they're still like that. They used to be. We used to be stared to death to go into those workouts.
Darius Butler
I knew I saw it somewhere this summer. I looked it up. Dan Lanning said their average gain for their freshman was 20 pounds this year.
Pat McAfee
It's unbelievable.
Boston Connor
That's not muscle.
Pat McAfee
Here's the thing I saw on is from hog ball, former Arkansas wide receiver just six months after transfer from Arkansas to Cal. Now he might hate what's going on Arkansas right now. So he's taking a shot at the Arkansas thing. Sure. Or that might be real. Nonetheless, that picture on the left to that picture on the right. He's not just the only guy in college football that this happens. Like this is a very.
Boston Connor
That's crazy.
Ty Schmidt
Like guys, six months is crazy.
Pat McAfee
I don't think.
Boston Connor
I know.
AJ Hawk
I don't think that's humanly possible.
Boston Connor
I'm trying to read it with the hair. Can we get a good judgment on.
Ty Schmidt
If his hair tied up on the first.
Boston Connor
I know. Quick.
Bailey McComas
Six months.
Pat McAfee
I don't know. It looks very length hair.
Ty Schmidt
Post lift. Like rafter lift.
Pat McAfee
Wake up.
Bailey McComas
Post lift. Little lightning. Little flexing. Yeah. Maybe you could gain. You could gain 15, couldn't he?
Pat McAfee
Shoulders are back in that first one. Shoulders flexed. Whatever the case, look out for Desmond James. This guy's been working his ass off this offseason, which is what it involves. There's so much work. Feels like these guys are professional since high school. Like that kid was talking like a professional right there.
Bailey McComas
I want like I assume, I assume every big time recruit is that way. Like they just, hey, I am fully mature. I am already a pro. I'm approaching everything. Like I am a professional. Like that's what it feels. I hope they still have fun. Honestly, I really do. I hope they still have like normal high school experiences.
Pat McAfee
I don't even know if they're allowed to, dude.
AJ Hawk
Definitely not at img. I mean that's not a normal high school experience.
Pat McAfee
I mean, they're still having a good time.
Boston Connor
For sure. For sure.
Ty Schmidt
Based on what I see in my time.
Pat McAfee
They're what?
Ty Schmidt
They're still goofing off. Well, that's being goofy.
Boston Connor
That's probably the kids that, you know, go to college.
Ty Schmidt
Different things.
Pat McAfee
I don't know if they go. Yeah. It might be like paying people for things. School electronically.
Ty Schmidt
It's kids.
Bailey McComas
Yep.
Ty Schmidt
But not really.
Pat McAfee
That's a wild thing to wake up to.
Bailey McComas
Just go private. Just press private.
Pat McAfee
Everybody on everything. Yeah, everybody on everything. Don't share your location. Do either. Now these youngs need should know.
Ty Schmidt
Yeah.
Pat McAfee
Because they've kind of for sure, you know, kind kind of came up in this world. But still, I don't know. Teenagers are always going to be like, that's what we're kind of brains develop. Like these dudes are still going to have a good time, I think. But it's just different way these days, you know. It's a much different way. Now granted. Is that next generation back? Because it's always like hopefully.
Bailey McComas
Yeah.
Pat McAfee
That's how some people think. AP Toad. You're saying that you hope this next generation, which Is called the Alpha generation.
Darius Butler
Is that really what they're called?
Pat McAfee
Yeah, they're called each alpha name. They are called the. You remember that aj Remember the Alpha generation, I believe.
Bailey McComas
Where, where were we when we heard about the Alpha generation? Where I was. Yeah, I do remember. I was tucked away in some pantry of a place and heard all about the Alpha generation. People trying to market directly to this Alpha generation.
Pat McAfee
AJ was trying to escape the conversation. So he thought he was leaving the room, but he walked into a pantry and obviously a pantry is a no exit.
Darius Butler
Yeah, that's a call to sex, so.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, exactly. It is a call to say I was stuck.
Bailey McComas
I was stuck.
Pat McAfee
And he was in there and there was a whole conversation happening out there. He left me in conversation, to be clear. So kind of instant universe, instant karma bang. Instant.
Bailey McComas
I wasn't really part of the conversation, to be honest. Like, you know, they didn't really need me there. I was kind of like the third wheel.
Pat McAfee
No, you were very much a part of it. You're very much a part of it, we thought. But the Alpha generation was being pitched. That was a few years back too. They were thinking, I think about this Alpha generation.
Boston Connor
That was a Super bowl, right?
Pat McAfee
I was like, man, you're a much deeper thinker than me. That's what I said. I don't think about the generations. You need to start.
Ty Schmidt
What are you all doing?
Pat McAfee
I mean, I don't know. Do they like Dr. Pepper?
Darius Butler
Yeah, we're all.
Pat McAfee
They're probably gonna like us. Exactly. That's what I look into. I don't know what the generation. Are they a Dr. Pepper generation? They're probably going to like us. If I had to guess, are they going to have an ice cold beer every once in a while, Right? Probably going to like us. Are you going to drink a Jack Daniel? Probably going to like us. Do they like ball? Gotta love.
Boston Connor
Very important.
Pat McAfee
Probably going to like us. If they don't on most of those things we know they are going to hate us. Now we could change some things, I guess for the Alpha generation. I don't know how we can get a little bit more lit. But for me there's going to be some of that Alpha and some in that Z ain't even go up to those goddamn boomers up there. I think they're going to like us and that's who we are looking for in this entire thing. You need to take in more 30,000 foot view.
Boston Connor
You know how they're going, brother.
Pat McAfee
I smoke. I'm up there all the time. Okay. I understand what you're saying. Those people are geniuses. Aj. AJ was trying to escape a genius and he did not.
Bailey McComas
Just ask him. Just ask him.
Pat McAfee
They'll tell you.
Bailey McComas
They'll tell you how genius they are.
Pat McAfee
Unbelievable. AJ did not like these people immediately.
Bailey McComas
I should say. I just. I have a healthy skepticism. I would say when they're getting pitched.
Pat McAfee
Horrible ideas, which in my life. Goodness. Happens a lot, all the time. Yeah, I get. But that could be a great idea.
AJ Hawk
You never know.
Bailey McComas
You're right, you're right.
Pat McAfee
Somebody mocked the pool noodle. Billionaire.
AJ Hawk
Yeah, good point.
Darius Butler
Use it for anything.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, billionaire.
Ty Schmidt
Got a few of them.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. You didn't even do it to golf, remember? Yeah, put that thing in.
Darius Butler
So many.
Pat McAfee
Speaking of, we got DeChambeau joining us live in Stu for the second hour. Cannot wait to chit chat with him. He's part of the President's Sports and Fitness Council. That was announced via a press conference at the White House. That had no. No real reaction.
AJ Hawk
No, none.
Pat McAfee
Nobody really responded.
AJ Hawk
No, Just kind of nice tree fall into the wood.
Pat McAfee
Hum. Just kind of moved along. I actually looked at the entire committee. Wayne O. Gretzky's on there, Roger Goodell's on there, Gary Bettman's on there. I mean, you're talking about like a who's. Who's on there in the history. Yeah, in a who's who. The history of sports is on there. And I believe they're just being tasked with, hey, you guys, just make sure sports are okay. Because there was a time there where the people that weren't sports people were starting to get into sports people. And hey, we needed to just kind of keep this thing they did. And this council, I think, is a good thing. We'll talk to dechambell about that. A man who was up for it because of how great he was and how great he is. Not only in the morning, but now, all damn day, including your Monday nights. Now. Oh, ladies and gentlemen, Emmy award winner, a sideline reporter for Monday Night Football. Now what An ESPN pundit, friend of the program. Ladies and gentlemen, Peter Schre.
Boston Connor
Yes.
Pat McAfee
This is what we want it. This is it. This is it.
Peter Schrager
I am. I am reporting live from jets camp. The jets and Giants just finished their inner camp scrimmage. And it was good, it was lively. There was a live hitting.
Pat McAfee
Pat.
Peter Schrager
It's good.
Pat McAfee
Football's here.
Peter Schrager
I'm touching the grass. And with Monday Night Football assignment, I get to touch the grass. Five different games. Some good games on the slate. I'm excited to work with this Crew, it's Katie George on the other sideline and of course Fowler, Riddick and my man Dan O. So completely stoked about this. One of the main reasons I was so into ESPN was because I was able to wear some different hats. And to get back on the sidelines like I did on my Fox and NFL Network early days is a thrill. So pumped up, man. This is great.
Pat McAfee
You've earned it. You deserve it. We're happy you're getting put out there. The boys and I were chit chatting about this announcement earlier and they all mentioned how you used to do this on a very regular basis. And then we all mentioned about how a post Super super bowl, you're always on the field with a microphone, seemingly for the last few years. You really enjoy being down there in a mix, huh? We like it. We like getting down mix.
Peter Schrager
You know it from when you guys do those simulcasts, there's nothing like it. And you could sit on your couch all you want, but when you're on the field and you're actually in the action and you can report what you see, it's different. I like to think I offer a different perspective. I used to give like front office nuggets and conversations from coaches that predated the game and would give you like live, real time stuff. So I, I love it. Fox for the last several Super Bowls have put me out there and say, collect all the sounds you can get. And I would find a way to get, you know, the Bradley Cooper interview or the Miles Taylor interview and then Saquon and all these guys. And I love being in the mix, so I'm thrilled, man. I haven't done it in a, in a couple years and I made my bones at Fox doing sidelines and I was on some six and seven cruise, so I was doing a lot of like Browns vs Lions when it wasn't the Lions of today. And you really own your doors.
Pat McAfee
Bronze.
Ty Schmidt
Brown.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, yeah, I got it. No. 2.2. This is a different era.
Peter Schrager
Any, I swear to God, I, I, I am so fired up to do it. And even just being on the field today, it was like, all right, I get to get back in the mix. Our first game we're doing is week two. I'm on that other crew, the BE crew, and it's, it's gonna be great. We're doing Chargers versus Raiders and Vegas, so like shot right out of the cannon. We've got, we got two great coaches in harbor and of course Pete Carroll. And we're gonna be on the call for that so it's pretty cool.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. And Tom Brady's probably gonna be Roman as an owner. Yeah, he's starting to look even more fit. He's tanned up all the time. You know, he just got out of that European vacation.
Boston Connor
Exactly.
Pat McAfee
He was sitting there having dinner with Bezos. You know, they were having a good conversation. I mean, I'm seeing this guy. Tom looks good, doesn't he? Oh, yeah. I think he looks up in his statue. One of the best statues we've seen.
Boston Connor
I think truly perfect.
Pat McAfee
He likes white pants legitimately.
Boston Connor
Job well done.
Pat McAfee
I would, too, if I was bullied. You know, he's like foxy, but four inches taller. You know, like, can go to maybe five, six inches taller. You're right. And cool. Yeah, he's very cool. The coolest. But he can just go to the mannequin. Brother, give me whatever the hell he's looking.
Darius Butler
Very nice. Mannequin.
Pat McAfee
Hey, Goat. Thanks for representing the sport. Looks like you're gliding everywhere you go tomorrow. Looks like you're doing a great job. We appreciate that. His statue, phenomenal. Okay, so that should be a great one. Chargers, Raiders, excited to watch you, Week two and the four other games that you'll be doing going forward. You said you're at Jets Giants training camp right now. Is that the most New York place of all time? I assume that's a hot ticket. I assume all the finance. I assume everybody's trying to get on the field over there, Right? This is. This is big New York royalty, I assume, at this thing. Yes.
Peter Schrager
A lot of Patagonia vests. A lot of guys dipping out of J.P. morgan and Goldman Sachs. They got the khakis on. They maybe took the blade helicopter down here. They made it. The truth of the matter is it's only 2,000 people, and it was just jets season ticket holders, and that's today. So you got 2,000 jets fans watching, and they were hitting. And then tomorrow it goes to Giants camp in East Rutherford, and it's 2,000 Giants fans that get to watch. And then they play the. The preseason game, of course, this weekend.
Pat McAfee
But really cool.
Peter Schrager
And like, Malik Neighbors wasn't out there today, and Jalen Hyatt wasn't out there today, but just about everyone else was out there. And I'm telling you, I don't want to exaggerate. I know it's preseason 51 on the Giants. Abdul Carter just absolutely everywhere, guys, he was. And now there's nothing against Max Mitchell, who was lining up against him. Jets offensive lineman doing his thing. Abdel Carter was in the backfield the entire day, and I'm watching him. You know, I've seen all these jets fans, like, bite and they're telling, all right, this guy's pretty good, flying all over the field. And I'll tell you, Jackson Dart threw the ball well, too. So my.
Pat McAfee
Oh, no.
Peter Schrager
Unblockable. Jackson Dart can throw the rock. And then without Malik Neighbors and without Jalen Hyatt, the Jets defense dominated the Giants ones also. So defense won the day on both sides this afternoon.
Pat McAfee
Go ahead, A.J.
Bailey McComas
Triggs. What about Justin Fields? I don't know if you talked about him when you cut out or not. How did he look and what does it just look like both these teams going against each other? Does it feel different? I guess. I mean, obviously the jets, with Aaron Glenn now at the helm as the head coach, D, we know how fired up he is. How does it feel, I guess the atmosphere out there, does it feel like they both have a lot of optimism?
Pat McAfee
Yeah.
Peter Schrager
And it's a fresh start for both. In many ways. I would start with the Jets. Completely new brass, completely new culture, completely new. Just entire energy around this team and they took care of their guys. So Sauce is a franchise guy. Garrett Wilson's a franchise guy. Smallwood, Quinn and Williamson, they've got their guys. Justin Fields. I don't think they're going to ask Justin Fields to throw the ball 25 times in a game. I wouldn't even classify Justin Fields as one of the stars of this jets team. They ran the ball against Green Bay in a way where they had 38 minutes of possession. Again, preseason game, but they ran the ball up the gut. They've got a running quarterback now. That's what they're going to identify as the Giants. Boundless optimism because neighbors has been unguardable at wide receiver. Abdul Carter and Dexter Lawrence and Brian Burns on your defensive line. And then of course, you've got a quarterback situation where they kind of like Dart so far, and he's looked really good. So again, August, these teams could both go out and win four games. But if you're walking the field today and you've got luminaries, you know, you've got everyone from. From Mark Sanchez to Sean o'.
Pat McAfee
Hara.
Peter Schrager
You got both sides, like their alumni watching, and everyone's jacked up on both teams.
Pat McAfee
Well, they should be jacked up, especially because we got a finger painted Peter Schrager on this particular show. You sound amazing. Just want to let you know we're going to call you back.
Peter Schrager
All right.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, we're going to try to call you back, get a little better connection with old shrags there out at New York camp. Hey, he's talked about Abdul Carter being the guy. We knew that, A.J. didn't we? I mean, we kind of knew that down there at the Orange bowl or whatever it was.
Bailey McComas
Yeah, we got to see him.
Boston Connor
Yeah.
Bailey McComas
From about 10 yards away. And we watched him over and over. Like, what a relentless motor. Andy wasn't even healthy at the time, too, so I cannot imagine when the guy's actually feeling almost 100%.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. And relentless is kind of the word that he was describing him whenever he was in college. Feels like that's continuing right into the NFL. How about Rosenhaus coming out and saying it would be disrespectful to ask him not to play in a game of this magnitude. So to people thinking that I am telling Abdul Carter one of the toughest. He goes right into a full. Abdul Carter, one of the toughest, most relentless players that we have ever seen in football. To tell him not to play in a playoff game would be so disrespectful to Abdul, his family, everything like that is literally how Drew. Because remember, the spin was that Drew was going to tell him not to play. That's what everybody was saying. We just so happened to have our show down there. Send Drew a text saying, hey, they're saying. You're saying Abdul Carter not going to play. You're going to tell him not to play. You want to come on the show? Absolutely. How do. Where are you set him at the Orange Bowl? Do you need us to get you in? I know my way around. Then he, like, kind of dropped in from the. He kind of dropped in from the clouds and just saddled up next to us. And then he went right on a run about Tyreeko. Yeah. That really got everybody jacked up, you know, so that was amazing time. But the way he talked about Abdul and the way everybody talks about him and even Schrager and I have to watch him, it's like, here's a guy. This is a guy guy. Yeah.
Ty Schmidt
And that was one of the things where, you know this era of athletes where you're like, okay, are these guys too spoiled? Are they making too much money? And as an agent, that probably would have been the best sound business advice. Hey, rest up. Get ready for the draft. Do your thing. You're already going to be a top three or four pick. But for him to come out and show his toughness and basically to get out there and dominate with one Arm and Peter talked about it. When you are on the ground, you can see it differently. We saw immediately this is a top tier NFL guy and I'm excited to see him, especially with the depth that they have around him on that line in New York. He's going to be able to eat and not be overused as well.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, Dexter really helps in there. Yeah. I mean, that is a game changer. And as the jets were making a play against you, I think. Yeah, yeah. The Packers. I watched. Yeah, it just happened. Happened. Jets backers. Sorry. I don't remember all of the week one preseason.
AJ Hawk
Oh, come on.
Boston Connor
A week two, you're losing.
Pat McAfee
I know everybody said I'm getting lazy, we're on a beach. I know. I. I was this morning, I was like thinking of a play and I was like, who the hell were the man that was just like 4, 5, 6, 7. When the hell was that game? Oh, who's playing when? We don't know. Yeah, yeah. Where can I watch NFL Plus? Okay.
Boston Connor
That's right.
Pat McAfee
NFL plus is where you can watch all these games. But about if you're not near a tablet or something like that. How do I watch? You don't. You just got to see highlights. That Jets D line too, I mean they were.
AJ Hawk
Oh yeah, they were.
Pat McAfee
The reason why Jordan Love is getting a procedure right now. Correct. Is because that Jetsey line, and we forget because of how catastrophic those teams have been, AJ that there are some very, very, very good parts of both of those teams. And it's like the Giants need it, jets need it. It's an interesting time over there and we're going to be forced to watch it because they're the biggest market in world. The world. Yeah.
Bailey McComas
We will remember Aaron Glenn if you heard, I don't know how many months ago they were doing an interview with him and he was talking about guys bringing in like to play defense. He's like, we don't care if you fit the scheme. We want to see like it's about play style. You need to ingratiate yourself with the defense and the culture that we have and how we play, like the relentless effort, 11 guys, the ball, all of that stuff. So, yeah, either way, like, you know that defense is going to play hard. Aaron Glenn, he is not scared to get on his guys and, and make sure the standard is very, very high.
Pat McAfee
The Matt Stafford stuff's getting interesting.
Boston Connor
Wild.
AJ Hawk
Very much so.
Pat McAfee
What is this, A.J. we saw him at the ESPYs. He looked good.
Bailey McComas
So I'm sitting back for weird, you know, backs Are weird though. Like backs all of a sudden. You could be good for a couple months and then he wakes up and it's weird one day or you sneeze or something happens to throw something out.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, sneeze, cough, laugh. Yeah. I mean, I mean you talk about it, you, you accidentally drink too much, you know. Yeah. And that just tightened up and then he, he. And now granted, we assume that it's a muscle or something along nerve, something like that. If it's bones as well. I mean there's so. Your back's so big. You know, I don't want to, I don't want to sound like a complete doofus, but you don't think about it. Okay. You don't see it. That's weight. Where's it at?
AJ Hawk
Way back.
Pat McAfee
It's back there. There's so many things that, that's why they're saying it's a back. Like we have no idea. That could be so many different things. And then they bring in this bazillion dollar.
Bailey McComas
Yeah, I was life trailer.
Darius Butler
Is that an Airstream?
AJ Hawk
That seems like a red flag.
Pat McAfee
That's a, that's originally an Airstream, which is a high quality travel living RV if you would like. They have multiple different styles. Anything for you if you need it. It is very dependable, durable, and although it looks like it could just get blown over, it won't. It is very sturdy for you. It's a great rig. That Airstream is there now. These people bought a very expensive Airstream and said, you know what, let's make it even more expensive. How we're going to make it Super Duper Life 1. You're walking here, you spend some time in here and you're just going to feel elevated. I think it's maybe a Gary Brecker type.
Boston Connor
Okay, sure thing.
Pat McAfee
Hypersbaric deprivation.
Boston Connor
There's red light, there's red light therapy in there. That's one of the stations, if you will.
Pat McAfee
I would assume this is our wellness device that aims to optimize human, human performance and promote holistic health through a combination of non invasive technologies. They got aq, Shipley's red light face thing in there. They got the back thing in there. I assume they got that little sit in O2 chamber. Yeah. That you sit in. Makes you healthy after 40 minutes. If you got a cold or something like that, you sit in there.
Boston Connor
Cryo tank, you never heard of that one?
Pat McAfee
No, I saw it in a guy's house. Very expensive house this guy had. And it was a beautiful, beautiful house. And he had an entire part of the house that was strictly to making him live forever. And he had all the tricks in there. I mean, we had steam room, sauna, cold tub face, hot tub, hot tub face, red light, body, red light. Then there was this little concoction over here. You get down in there, you sit in there 30, 40 minutes, whatever you got, you don't have it anymore. Like what? When do you do this every day? I don't want anything. Ever.
Ty Schmidt
Four days to his life.
Boston Connor
That's enough.
AJ Hawk
Hey, you never know what you're gonna get done in those four days.
Pat McAfee
This guy has 27 hours in his 24 hours as well. So that's not just four days. That's actually four and a half days for this guy. But nonetheless, I don't like that this is happening. You know, And I assume this company probably knows somebody at the Rams, and I assume somebody uses this company. I assume that this is a thing because guys will use no stone unturned to get healthy. I mean, we're sitting here on the screen with a guy, you know. Yeah, this guy drank his own piss.
J
Exactly.
Pat McAfee
So no, no, that's non invasive. Maybe they're doing that in there.
Bailey McComas
If someone said it did help you, if someone said it cured injuries, I'm sure much more people would try drinking their own pee.
Boston Connor
Work for you.
Pat McAfee
So can we just get it cleared? Because I. I am a little bit torn on this entire thing.
Bailey McComas
What's that?
Pat McAfee
You did not drink your urine? Never.
Bailey McComas
Never tasted any piss. Mine. Anyone else's. Nothing.
Pat McAfee
You sure?
Boston Connor
Right handed guy.
Bailey McComas
Not a p. Guy.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, yeah.
Bailey McComas
I mean, you know, I'm not. That's, you know, I don't. You can. I understand you going about it and saying things like this and bringing up. You ever drink your own piss, Chris? Paul, like any, any guest we have in person, you want to ask him and say that I did it, which I get it, but no, I didn't. And even if I did, if I did, I wouldn't be like scared to admit it. I would tell you, you okay?
Pat McAfee
But I think, didn't it. Why does my head believe? Cuz, you know, I. I feel like. Okay, why does it believe that you did that? Why? Why? I don't know why that's. Did you say it one time, jokingly, in a conversation?
Bailey McComas
I never said it. We've heard UFC fighters say that they've tried drinking their own pee.
Darius Butler
Covered the sport for a while.
Boston Connor
Well, one time he pissed all over the floor of the old office.
Darius Butler
He got down his hands and knees and lapped it up like a dog.
Boston Connor
Yeah, we thought that he might have just spilled the it from his growler.
Pat McAfee
So much recovery juice.
Bailey McComas
My growler, My yeti full of pee. I just brought up.
Boston Connor
Yeah.
Pat McAfee
What I'm saying though is guys have done a lot of. And women professional athletes have done a lot of very obscure. And actually, you know, I'm not, I'm gonna say you haven't done the most obscure things that these dudes have just strictly because you're a smarter species than us. So like, that is just what it is. If you tell a professional athlete that if they do like AJ just said, you do this, you will have a better career. There are dudes, not all dudes. You know, there's certain levels to commitment to all those types of things. But there are guys that are wired. I mean, you look at Mack Hollins, he shows up barefoot every game. And then he just told, I believe Bussin that the reason why he does that is cause you gotta face some hard shit every day. You know, I can't get too soft. It's like, okay, so he's a guy that will do whatever if it feels like it challenges him, makes him better. So this little trailer thing didn't really bother me that it was there, but the fact that Matthew Stafford was supposed to do individuals, allegedly individual drills and then he's in street clothes and then he's in his teleporting device, I don't know. You know, that's kind of my thoughts on it.
Ty Schmidt
D Bucks. Yeah, I'm definitely worried. We talked about it yesterday just because of who Matt Stafford is and who he's always been. I mean, the fact he's even still playing like he got drafted at the top of our class and he's still playing. So for him not to, to, you know, show up to training camp and not want to take all the reps. We know starting quarterbacks, especially franchise quarterbacks like he is, they want to take all these reps in training camp. So the fact that he's not there in practice and then they said he was going to be there at a certain day Monday, didn't show up, didn't practice there. I am concerned getting this close to the season, I don't know if I'm more or less concerned after seeing that gimmick. It is la and in LA and Arizona you see some weird like that from time to time. So we'll see. I, I hope, I hope he's healthy because that is a, a great roster and obviously he's a Great quarterback still and still can spin it.
Pat McAfee
I'm not really scared though. Right. We saw him.
AJ Hawk
Yeah. And, and he looked okay out there.
Pat McAfee
Okay. He looked handsome, didn't he, Fox?
Bryson DeChambeau
He did.
Darius Butler
He looked incredible.
Pat McAfee
He was glowing.
AJ Hawk
But you mentioned it. Like, there is a chance that sitting in those seats at the SBS like that, that may have messed up his back because those seats are very uncomfortable and that's.
Pat McAfee
You left early. You don't even know what it would be like.
Boston Connor
That's my.
AJ Hawk
That's exactly right. He probably stayed for the whole show. You know, had we gotten out of there, I don't know what. I might have been looking for that thing the next day. I just. Listen, they're obviously not going to come out and, and say that something is wrong with him and he might be fine, but just like the going to, no matter what end of like the earth they can to emphasize and let everyone know, hey, if there was a game tomorrow, he'd play. He'd play. He's fine. He's fine. Everything's going to be fine.
Pat McAfee
It's.
AJ Hawk
It's like when you get that hammered over your head enough, it's like, well, now I'm starting to think that he might not be fine.
Pat McAfee
Not what we need, though. There's red flags.
Boston Connor
Epidural. You're not getting epidural if you're giving.
Pat McAfee
Birth to playing football.
Boston Connor
Bingo. Yeah. If it's not a birth type of event or pain like that. That's the thing for me, it's like this. There's no way this guy is healthy. And what really sucks is they were so good last year and they were so close and they. Now they have devonte Adams and Matt Stafford can't even throw devonte Adams a football. Devonte Adams. He probably wants to go back to Las Vegas at this point. It's sad.
Pat McAfee
I'll tell you what, Las Vegas vibes are awesome. I love that Gino Smith's flipping people off. I love that Pete Carroll's got his back. I like that Max Crosby's in there and Pete Carroll's saying, yeah, we win, man. That's just what I do. You know who else does? McVeigh. Doesn't he?
Boston Connor
Oh, yeah.
Pat McAfee
McVeigh wins. I, I think it's about, you know, because he's such a baby face. We all just. Yeah, he's the whiz kid. Whiz kid. Whiz kid. It's like he wins though, too. He lost Aaron Donald last year. It was Aaron Donald last year. We thought it was over, remember?
Boston Connor
Oh, yeah.
Pat McAfee
We thought it was over for this entire team. Gonna take a couple years to build this back up. We were actually given victory. Congratulations. Sean McVay turning down like $25 million a year to call games and rebuild the Los Angeles Rams. Matthew Stafford, he's sticking around for a reboot. Good for them. That's what we're saying. Last year, like, we're like, stafford needs retire. Aaron Donald just retired. You want a Super bowl, you're rich. Go live.
Boston Connor
Trey Cooper cup, week seven.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, exactly. Sean McVasia. Sean McVeigh. You need to retire. Go do TV. You did it. Yeah. You did it.
Ty Schmidt
With Stafford on the other teams last.
Pat McAfee
Year, we had him.
Ty Schmidt
What Giants? A couple other.
Darius Butler
Could this be McVeigh's fault? Because he's under that bar all the time and he's looking jacked. And Stafford's like, oh, I need to come in here and I need to put McVeigh in his place. And he. He put 525 on. On his back.
Pat McAfee
And maybe that's.
Bryson DeChambeau
That's what happened.
Pat McAfee
I'm telling you, Matt Stafford's not putting 525 on his back.
Boston Connor
They were working with the safety bar anyways. That. That soft bar, the squat bar that people don't respect if you're a big squatter.
Pat McAfee
No, if you're a retired athlete. Which leads to. He got drafted. Same draft class we did. Think about how long I have been.
AJ Hawk
They retired.
Jake Cruel
Like.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, eight years. How long.
Darius Butler
Eight years we've been.
Pat McAfee
He is still doing. And he got slaughtered in Detroit. I mean, had no O line the entire time.
Boston Connor
Old hitting rules.
Pat McAfee
And this is what I was doing.
Boston Connor
Okay.
Pat McAfee
I was going, whoa, man. That's what I was doing. Hey, that was my. My. That was my career. Think about that eight years later. His career. Yeah, you could.
Bailey McComas
You could land on quarterbacks, too. The first half of his career, he could tackle and actually plant him into the ground.
Boston Connor
Played with Calvin Johnson.
Pat McAfee
You know what I'm thinking? He's okay to take off a couple training camp weeks. This guy's done enough books football. Everybody's talking about Aaron. Old Aaron. Old Aaron is. Which. We can't even talk about that. Aaron got drafted before him.
Darius Butler
Yeah, well, speaking of Aaron, if Aaron would have went into that tube, okay, this. This bio. Tube of health. You guys all saw the tweet. X would have exploded.
Boston Connor
Well, if Aaron went into that, too, we would have gone back in time and prevented Covid. Like. Like he could have. You know that. That's what you're not thinking but how.
Pat McAfee
Far back do you got?
Boston Connor
Do we have it?
Pat McAfee
I'm not. We don't need anything.
Boston Connor
He may have gone all. Met the original mother.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, well, maybe. Maybe. Shoot. Excuse me. You got. We're looking for the eighth one dimension, I believe, is where I'm trying to get to what part of the.
Boston Connor
Combine these two roots right here. Why don't you do that? Let me show you what's about to happen.
Pat McAfee
You need to get the. Which I guess.
Bailey McComas
How many are there? How many are there?
Pat McAfee
Nine. Is that the one dimensions I believe? I'm trying to remember. I'm trying to remember. But one of them shoots you. Right. Like you get a fast pass. The one you get, that's the.
Boston Connor
That's the frog. That's the venom on the back of the frog. I'm pretty sure that sends you right to.
Pat McAfee
I thought it was one that was over.
Darius Butler
Don't go licking frogs if you're listening. Disclaimer.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. We are not promoting it, but I think there's one that's over yonder that takes it. Right. Like a fast pass, but I think it's hard to get to.
AJ Hawk
Yeah.
Pat McAfee
From what I'm saying, I'm not looking to change any dimensions. I'm happy. Right. The Here. Which I think is three. I think we're in the correct. They're in a third dimension, I do believe. I believe. Fourth one I heard's tough to get through. I heard it's a little bit of a spiritual rock.
Boston Connor
Gonna be the worst one.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, I heard it's a tough one. Fourth one's got pretty. You're staying in three, I guess, is what the fourth dimension does. As you're trying to get out of there. That's when you're pooping and puking and. Yep.
Boston Connor
Battle of the bulge.
Pat McAfee
But then I heard once you get through five, six, kind of soft. And then you get.
Bryson DeChambeau
Right.
Boston Connor
Seven, eight, nine. Are your meat. Potatoes.
Pat McAfee
That's where you're.
Ty Schmidt
Yeah, I got. I got a bad sense of direction. So getting back is what I'm worried about.
Pat McAfee
Well, some people never. Never do.
AJ Hawk
Yeah, they never come back.
Ty Schmidt
That's the word.
Pat McAfee
But for some people, and I want to take this in incredibly serious manner, but ayahuasca and coming back ties together to Bob Parsons story. Bob Parsons is in Vietnam, I believe. Yep. And then he tried ayahuasca 20 some years later. And it wasn't until after that a lot of ptsd. I think a lot of people in the military have been trying ayahuasca and these different things to like kind of. Because I think it's kind of like a reset on your brain a little bit. You gotta go through it all. He said that was first time he felt like he came home from Vietnam was like 20 some years later after he did ayahuasca. So what I'm saying is I am not an ayahuasca guy. I don't think everybody should be ayahuasca people. But I think if you're looking for something, I think that is something that they say calls you.
Boston Connor
Oh, yeah.
Pat McAfee
And it like does that whole thing. But I know a good thing. I'm never gonna be in that rainforest, AJ And I don't know if it's in that immortal patella portal thing. I don't know if it's. Could be.
Ty Schmidt
I'm saying never.
Bailey McComas
I'm good right here in the third dimension. I think for now.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, you're right. Don't say never. Down the road, maybe somebody will really have a good sales pitch for that eighth dimension. I'm like, oh, I need to get there.
Ty Schmidt
If I can hit my driver.
Pat McAfee
Bob Parsons said he was reading greens.
Boston Connor
Yeah, he did.
Bailey McComas
He made every putt.
Boston Connor
See now, now you're selling me clamps. Were telling tell me more.
Pat McAfee
Felt as if the greens were telling me where to put it. That's why I made the green. Yeah, that's pxg, buddy.
AJ Hawk
Exactly.

AJ Hawk
You've seen the headlines, heard the debates.
Pat McAfee
The three point ball has created a.
AJ Hawk
Monotonous rhythm to the game.
Pat McAfee
And other has the three pointer ruined basketball? And how did we get here? The rise of the three point shot.
Bryson DeChambeau
Can be partially traced to an eccentric.
Pat McAfee
Kansas genius named Martin Manley, whose story didn't turn out quite the way he imagined.
Boston Connor
I decided I wanted to have one.
Pat McAfee
Of the most organized goodbyes in history. 30 for 30 podcast presents Chasing Basketball Heaven. Available now wherever you get your podcasts. Football is normally what we talk about in Great work by AJ Hawk right there nailing that. I really do appreciate the hell out of you, A.J. for the timing in which you delivered that football. It was as if you were in unison with us. And although football is normally the topic of conversation all the time, there are certain days where it's a little bit different, you know, when there's a little special aura in the air. Now, obviously, it's always special in the toxic tables here at Boston Connor and at Tyson. Sweet lion shirt.
Boston Connor
Thank you. Great shirt on you as well. It's a nice little, what, two buttons, three buttons there?
Pat McAfee
Yeah. I own 40 of these. I've been wearing this for the last six months basically every single day. I appreciate you.
Boston Connor
It's so nice shirt.
Pat McAfee
Thank you, Amazon.
Boston Connor
Yeah. Hey, guess what?
Pat McAfee
It'll be a nice shirt tomorrow and.
Boston Connor
The next day and the next day.
Pat McAfee
That's really how I've been doing it. I went from black tank top to this shirt. Yeah. And it's just 140 other. When they're all gone, you're in a bad spot. If I ever had a Lion shirt like that, though, I would certainly look at it there at Ty Schmidt. Iowa is obviously going to be fantastic this year because Granowski. Yeah.
AJ Hawk
Mark Gronowski.
Pat McAfee
The packers have a quarterback who has a hand surgery happening and vibes are high for you, I'd say.
AJ Hawk
Yeah, sure. I mean, why not? You know, weather's nice outside. You know, Listen, I hate to do this right now, but I'd be remiss if I didn't. I know we got got. You know, Bryson's here and he's going to be coming out very soon. I'm a Range Go guy. Everyone knows it. And Bubba and the Range Goats actually were kind enough to send me an official Range Goats golf bag.
Boston Connor
So.
Pat McAfee
Wow.
AJ Hawk
I don't know. You know, am I.
Pat McAfee
You say e official.
Boston Connor
Yeah.
AJ Hawk
It's from an old and one mixtape video. Okay.
Pat McAfee
I don't know if that was. I didn't. I honestly didn't know if that with some Bubba.
AJ Hawk
That's a deep cut. But yeah. So I, I don't know. You could. You could almost say that I'm an honorary range goat kind of on the team. So it's. It's going to be kind of weird, you know, staring down my competition when he comes out here. I'm excited to see what he's got.
Pat McAfee
He's got a nine year NFL vet, big time live golf super Darius J. Baller is here. How excited are you that lives in town of Indianapolis this week and this weekend?
Ty Schmidt
I'm stoked. Stoked. I'm stoked not. What's the quarterback you got right now? Remember the name base because he threw a five yard pass and I mean it had the timeline.
AJ Hawk
It's like a 45 yard post but get it right.
Boston Connor
Sprinting out right sidelines, six yards.
Ty Schmidt
They just went crazy. So I am excited about them but definitely excited about live coming to India. It'd be good to see and talk to Bryson again. Was with him the last time I was with him was right before won the US Open down in Houston. I believe so decided to chop it up with D. Shambro.
Pat McAfee
Have you. Have you ever. Do you know what camp on AAN is?
Boston Connor
Sounds kind of familiar.
Pat McAfee
Well, we hold you in our hearts and when we think about you it.
Boston Connor
Makes me want to fart.
Pat McAfee
Fell apart. Get it right or pay the price. That's what he said. There's a couple deep movies you from. It's a show, dude.
AJ Hawk
Salute your shorts.
Pat McAfee
It was a show.
AJ Hawk
Nickelodeon.
Pat McAfee
Listen, you should have seen. I'm gonna say it probably holds up.
AJ Hawk
It definitely holds up.
Pat McAfee
Joining us now is a man who will hold up forever because he's jacked. This guy's strongest golfer in the history of golf. This guy hit a ball 420 yards with a regular driver. You see the long drive folks? They're taking out telephone poles out there, okay. They got super shafts which Dan Orlovsky and Debut Chit chat about seemingly on a regular basis. And it's not regulation. This dude's taking regulation clubs and hitting 400 yards in competition. Changing the game completely. And he's also a member of the President's council on sports, fitness and nutrition. Ladies and gentlemen, multiple time US Open winner, three time live winner, Bryson DeChambeau good.
AJ Hawk
That was good.
Boston Connor
It's good dance moves.
Bryson DeChambeau
Well, first off, I can't believe you're a Rage Ghost fan. So I got you a bag right here.
Boston Connor
No, that's your bag.
Pat McAfee
N. He can't swing those clubs. We know he can't swing those clubs.
AJ Hawk
How you doing? You too.
Bryson DeChambeau
What's up, bro?
Pat McAfee
Did you just do a hug? If you want, we can do a hug. Should have done a hug. Yeah.
Ty Schmidt
Should take that time.
Pat McAfee
Will you teach me how to put putt? Yeah. Yeah.
Bryson DeChambeau
I can't putt most. That is a nice bag.
Pat McAfee
Yeah.
Boston Connor
Better than the goats.
Pat McAfee
Do you go anywhere without that thing? I don't know. I don't know if I'll go after. Do you go anywhere without it?
Bryson DeChambeau
No.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, that would. That makes sense. I think. I think that's what we're looking for. Obviously, you're in town for the live.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yep.
Pat McAfee
Singles championship.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, you could say that.
Pat McAfee
Let me turn this.
Bryson DeChambeau
There's still. There's still like a down.
Pat McAfee
You'll be good.
Bryson DeChambeau
Is it good right there?
Pat McAfee
Yep, perfect.
Bryson DeChambeau
Look, it's still team championship. We still have team competition in there. So we've got all of the. The best. Well, some of the best players in the world on the single side. And then we've got our team. Team side as well.
Pat McAfee
How do you feel about how your team's doing? We're the second team right now, right? Crushers are. Yes. Currently second in the entire thing. Is that accurate?
Bryson DeChambeau
We're second. It's kind of frustrating.
Pat McAfee
Oh, really? We want to be first. Is that what it is?
Bryson DeChambeau
So I got Paul. Paul Casey, Charles Howe and Honor Bon Lahiri. And we're some of the. Like, we're. We're really good. We won 2023. Team championship. Oh, yeah. So we want to win again. We got beat by the Iron Heads last. Last year, which is not.
Pat McAfee
Oh, the Ironheads are a big problem. They need to pay. Iron Head, actually. Ironheads boy over there. Pittsburgh.
Bryson DeChambeau
It was not good.
Pat McAfee
Struggling on a hold in is what it is. Okay, so team golf. Are you worried about team while you're playing each individual weekend?
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, that's the cool part about it. People don't realize, like, when I'm playing the singles side of the coin, when I'm playing individually, even if I'm not playing well, and let's say I'm five six over par and I'm in 40th place, I still want to play well on the team side. So, like, every single score counts. All four scores count. That's the best Part about it. So no matter what position you're in, I'm still, like, going after it, trying to do the best I can for my team.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. Because every stroke actually counts.
Bryson DeChambeau
Literally every single one.
Pat McAfee
And you own the team, so you can't be letting the boys down.
Bryson DeChambeau
No.
Pat McAfee
Yeah.
Bryson DeChambeau
Although I did last week. So sick.
Pat McAfee
We're in Chicago.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah.
Pat McAfee
What happened? I heard there was a lot of people. I heard Chicago was, like, best American. Is that the best American?
Bryson DeChambeau
It was one of the best. Yeah. For sure. No, I mean, I shot four over. I just didn't play my best.
Pat McAfee
That's despicable.
Bryson DeChambeau
It was frustrating. Yeah.
Pat McAfee
It was.
Bryson DeChambeau
Playing with Paul Casey. No, I was playing with Paul Casey, and he played great, and I just didn't. Didn't play well. Didn't have my wedges dialed in. So that's one of the things that I struggle with a lot. I don't know why, but something I got to figure out in order to be up to Scotty Scheffler's level.
Pat McAfee
Okay, so let's talk about that. Do you watch, obviously, at the PGA with what's going on now? Obviously, you're playing this past weekend. You're playing one. They went to a playoff. Spawn and Rose both made birdie on the second playoff hole. They lift out on the first one. I mean, it was. It was cinema. It was real. It was great golf. And I'm not saying that that isn't happening every weekend, but there are some tournaments where there's, like, great golf happening at live ice. You guys watch and wish you were in that. Or is there some weekends where you guys are doing some shit where you. You assume, like, hey, I assume there's some guys at PJ that wouldn't mind to be a part of what we're doing as well? Is that. Is that a thought, you think?
Bryson DeChambeau
I'd say it's a very fair statement on both sides of the coin, like you're going to want sometimes. Like, I'd love to be playing against Scotty Scheffler as well as I think he'd love to be playing against some of us over here at certain points in time, depending on how things kind of shake out at the end. So do we need to play more? 100%. But at the end of the day, it is what it is. It'll get figured out.
Boston Connor
Guys.
Bryson DeChambeau
It's not there yet. I mean, you. You were at the. At the Pro AM in Houston, right?
Pat McAfee
He's a big live super fan.
Bryson DeChambeau
I know. And. And that's the thing Like, I wish people would just see it, you know, not judge it just based on face value, what people have said. But, like, when they come out there and see it and experience it, see what it's about, you know, the team stuff is really cool. We have an opportunity to. To grow the franchise value just like any other sports team. NFL, NBA, you name it. We have the ability to grow the game of golf. The GDP of golf. It's very technical. Technical, sorry, don't know if that's gdp. Yeah.
Pat McAfee
Is that the gross domestic product? Boom.
Bryson DeChambeau
This guy knows his stuff.
Pat McAfee
I mean, I didn't know we could drop that on golf, but I do appreciate that we can get the gdp.
Bryson DeChambeau
I can go deep down the rabbit hole, but ultimately just trying to grow the game of golf, inspire a bunch of young fans. And I think that's also partly why I became a part of the President's Council in sports, fitness and nutrition. Like, I genuinely care about the future of America and what our kids are doing right now. We have an obesity crisis, man, it's tough to see. And so not only just playing live golf and playing globally and inspiring a bunch of people around the world play golf, but also helping out our kids in America is a tough one. I grew up in the public education system, went through pe, the physical fitness test. We had all that stuff. And to be a part of it now and having the President come up and ask me to be a part of it is just crazy, in my opinion. I can't even believe I'm here.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, congratulations. And also you're talking about giving back, and I know that it's also good business for you, I would assume, because we are also in the business a little bit. But you becoming a golf YouTuber, I think is great for the sport, great for the game. The GDP of golf, I think it is very good. With what you have been doing, I.
Bryson DeChambeau
Have a hypothesis that the entertainment side of golf probably is already bigger than the professional game of golf. I genuinely think that there's a possibility in that.
Pat McAfee
I assume that there's going to be people from the game of golf that are very pissed at what you just said right there. No, no. Just because the Masters and everything.
Bryson DeChambeau
No, no, no, I get that. But just for a second. Like, if you think about the amount of viewership on the Masters compared to like clips, just not only clips, but just YouTube videos all tied in together, like that amount. Those amount of views on YouTube are more than what normal broadcast.
Pat McAfee
Seek those out too. You don't just get them on a TV I mean, there's a lot of.
Bryson DeChambeau
It'S unique viewership as well, which is super difficult. You don't have one at every bar across America, right?
Pat McAfee
Yeah. Yeah. We've been battling the same thing for a long time. Yeah. I just want to let you know, the people you're trying to talk to are never going to listen. Yeah, I agree with what you're saying. Just, I just want to let you know I agree with what you're saying. And I think everybody from. Who is it, Bob? Yeah. Sports, fat and foreplay. You and cow. Cow shallows technique over there. Good, good driving range. The good, good boys. Like, there's so many great Internet golfers that we were all watching, so I think it's good for the game of golf. But I would say if you were attempting to sell that to some old dinosaur that, hey, what we're doing on urinary is actually better for golf, they would not listen. But I think you have a good argument, though.
Bryson DeChambeau
You'd be surprised. There's a lot of people that, that older generation people that come watch my YouTube videos and they're out there on the golf course are like, I love the break 50. I love, love the course record series.
Pat McAfee
Great concepts, by the way.
Bryson DeChambeau
Thank you. It was crazy. You know how he came up with that? Shot 58 at Greenbrier. Unbelievable. It was awesome. Played the best round of my entire life. And then I was playing with Garrett Clark and I'm like, how low could we go from? You know, could we scramble together and shoot, you know, 58. Could we break 58 together? Obviously we do the first. Do that the first time when we go out and film. Then I'm like, well, okay, if we can do that, like, how low could I go from the front tees? That's kind of how it started. And I said, well, I think I could break 50. And that's kind of how it came about. So we started playing.
Pat McAfee
How many times have you done it now?
Bryson DeChambeau
Oh, my gosh, how many times? This is season two, I think it was. It's around like 16, 15, 16, something like that. But I haven't. I've only broken 50 once, and that was with a threesome with Garrett and Grant or Horvat. And we. We shot 48, a PGA Frisco. And then I've shot 50 numerous times. One with Tony Romo. That was actually a lot of fun. He's unbelievable golf, by the way.
Pat McAfee
Okay, so do you have respect for the other athletes that come out and play golf?
Bryson DeChambeau
100%. I mean, even Steph Curry.
Pat McAfee
What's the difference between you and them? You said you don't have your wedges dialed. Is that your wedge is obviously much more dialed than any of the others. Is that the game? What's the game? You hit it 420 yards. Is that like, what is the difference, you think, between pro golfers and guys that are good at golf?
Bryson DeChambeau
I mean, honestly, it's just repeatability. Like, they can hit some of the best shots just like we can, but they can't do it as consistent as we can. It's like, it's like, you know, I'm an athlete. I can, I can go throw a football. I can do, I can go shoot.
Pat McAfee
That's absolute for golfers, right?
Bryson DeChambeau
I guess so.
Pat McAfee
I'm not joking. I don't know about that.
Bryson DeChambeau
But like I could shoot a three and potentially make it a couple times. But it's the consistency. I mean, just doing it again and again and again, that's what makes us the best. I mean, you know all about it, right?
Pat McAfee
Yeah. Short career. Short career. The President's Council on Sports Fitness and Nutrition mission to engage, educate and empower all Americans to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives through regular physical activity, good nutrition and mental well being. Love everything about that mission. Love that we're trying to make the future of America better. Let's go over to Hammer Todd. Hey, Tone over there in Hammer Todd, what was that thing that we never got to celebrate because we couldn't touch our toes because of this stupid presidential fitness council thing? What was it? Yeah, the.
Darius Butler
The blue box where we had to try to stretch. We could do every other thing, but we couldn't stretch to the blue box. The stupid blue box.
Pat McAfee
The box of hell. We need that out of there.
Darius Butler
So we were always national test winners, but we never got to presidential because our hamstrings kind of screwed us.
Pat McAfee
That's right. I'm like a six time national champion or whatever, but I could never get the presidential one because I can't touch my toes.
Bryson DeChambeau
Well.
Pat McAfee
And I felt like that was a genetic issue and I. Let's not get into scientists. I don't need to talk about pliability, okay? I took all these drops. I even got a little super duper massages. Still couldn't touch my damn toes. So do you. Are you guys gonna hate on people that are built with incredibly tight hamstrings?
Bryson DeChambeau
We're not hating on anybody. We are taking that out of the.
Pat McAfee
No more. The S Ridge. Yeah. Holy. I know. I like this group.
Boston Connor
I know.
Pat McAfee
I Like this group, that's a big deal. So let's talk about this. This though, what is the mission? Is it like presidential fitness type stuff? Are we getting back into that?
Bryson DeChambeau
I mean, look, we're not, we're not going to be difficult with anybody. We want people if, even if they can't do a pull up, let's say, right, you have pull ups, push ups, sit ups, we're potentially putting in like a farmer's walk or thinking about different ideas and how to give people the best opportunity to be to lead successful and healthy lives from the start. I mean, we know from science that if you start working out later in your life, you don't have the same capacity as when you did earlier in your life. Like if you started when you were a teenager working out and being active, you have a longer lifespan potential. And so that's the part that we're trying to instill in kids, is to empower these kids to work out every day, or not every day, but just be healthy, get outside and engage them. And so when we're testing people, it's going to be more of a, hey, where's your baseline? Our phase one is like, where's our baseline? What are we at? Can you do a pull up? I mean, can you do a pull up?
Boston Connor
Yeah. Okay. Thank God. I was thinking about that.
Bryson DeChambeau
That's good.
Pat McAfee
All the things you said.
Boston Connor
My boys over here, like one sit up. I can get one.
Bryson DeChambeau
That's right. So, so once we establish a baseline, then we give you recommendations on how to work out every day, every other day, consistently improving yourself until we do sort of a secondary baseline test in the wintertime. And then once the test comes around at the end of the year, it'll be the President's Physical Fitness Test. We'll do a fitness test to see how successful you've been and the changes you've made over the course of time. But again, it's not necessarily we're going like, oh, here's the best athlete of every single school. Because it's already kind of defined in a sense, they get scholarships and whatnot. But there's the potential for somebody based on a teacher's eye assessment because there's a lot of people that can also go, oh, I'm not going to do anything, the first test. And then they'll go and outperform and they're the most valuable or most improved person. We don't want that. We want somebody that's actually genuinely improving. So it's going to be a lot of teacher based Understanding of like where that person is to how they're improving. And so we're going to work with the teachers, the school districts, states to help implement the physical fitness test and then give some better curriculum based initiatives for kids to get healthier. So that's what we're excited about. That's just a start. We've got numerous other ideas outside the physical, physical fitness test that we're looking at, but as of right now, that's, that's what? Triple H, you know, Paul, he's great. He's. He's, he's my vice chair. And then. So it's pretty awesome. And then we just got Matthew Tkachuk to sign up to be a part of it. Two time Stanley cup champion. So he's.
Pat McAfee
Can I rattle off the names here?
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, come on.
Pat McAfee
Executive director is Catherine Granito.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yep. She's awesome.
Pat McAfee
If I'm saying the name right. And then you are chair.
Bryson DeChambeau
That's right.
Pat McAfee
Bryson Dechambeau, he's at the top of this.
AJ Hawk
Here we go.
Pat McAfee
Here. It's Catherine Granito, Bryson D. Shambro and a cerebral king. Oh, wow. Sorry. The king of kings.
Bryson DeChambeau
Triple H, he's amazing, by the way.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, he's. He's lost too. Yeah.
Bryson DeChambeau
I mean, the awards we're, we're looking at giving to these, these kids that are the most successful and the most improved and whatnot are out of control. It's going to be unlike anything you've seen from. It's not a certificate really anymore. I mean, I'm not gonna.
Pat McAfee
Why? We don't know because we couldn't touch our toes.
Bryson DeChambeau
But I mean, obviously. Well, that's right. Well, that's, that's your fault.
Pat McAfee
But you know, see, that's what I'm saying. I don't think it is. I think I've worked on it. I've tried my best. Gary Bettman, Commissioner of the NHL, Nick Bosa, Butker, Cody Campbell, DeChambeau, Goodell, Granito, Gretzky. Yep.
Bryson DeChambeau
Tony. Tony's wanting to help out as well. Remo.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, he's down there. Gary Player.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yep.
Pat McAfee
Mariano Rivera.
AJ Hawk
Well.
Boston Connor
Oh, well, yeah, he's on the.
AJ Hawk
He's gonna be laid up for a little bit, unfortunately.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, I saw that.
AJ Hawk
Towards the kill. He's an old timer's day.
Boston Connor
Yeah.
AJ Hawk
Good.
Bryson DeChambeau
State of the Yankees in general. How old is he though?
AJ Hawk
50 something.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, I mean, that's gonna happen when you're up there.
Pat McAfee
But what's his baseline though? We need to, you know. I know. Baseline there.
Boston Connor
Work out younger.
Pat McAfee
Okay, let's start Talking about golf.
Bryson DeChambeau
Okay.
Pat McAfee
You mentioned Scotty Scheffler. I'm happy you did because I was going to bring it up regardless. I feel like. Well, I was gonna bring it up. I was gonna. Hope you're gonna be okay with it.
Bryson DeChambeau
Absolutely.
Pat McAfee
I was definitely, definitely going to bring.
Bryson DeChambeau
You can talk about anything you want. I don't care. It's all good.
Pat McAfee
You and Brooks Kepa really hate each other back in the day.
Bryson DeChambeau
We did, yeah.
Pat McAfee
Let's move along.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, we did.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. Bygones, bygones. Move on. Scotty Sheffield, when you're watching him, you're just as confused, everybody. What is your thoughts on watching him? He's just in a zone right now. Like as a high level golfer, when you view what he's doing, what is it? Do you try to compare to when you have been in a zone like that to when you're feeling your best game? Like what, what do you, how do you judge what Scotty, she.
Bryson DeChambeau
He's got the best spin and distance control I've ever seen. Like he controls the golf ball from a spin perspective so much better than everybody else. Like if you're 175 yards out and it's 10 miles into the end of the wind. He knows how to control the flight and spin to get that ball to land right next to every time. His distance control is the best. He's always Tiger. Yeah, probably since Tiger. He's the best that we've seen and I played with him in college a bunch and I've said it before, but he, he's definitely improved since college for sure. And it's impressive to see what he's done and we're all aspiring to, to do that. And that's something that I've got to get better at. I can hit it farther than him. I can hit it probably straighter than him. I can make just as many putts as him. But really it's about my iron play right now and wedges to get a little more consistent.
Pat McAfee
He's always whole high. Like it is never like they'll do the zoom out thing and it's like, oh, yep, he hit it the distance. And then I think there was. Speaking of clips and shit, he, he was trying out a brand new set of clubs and they had a trackman on it. They're like, he would hit it. How far is that? 221 or something like that. It was like 221.4.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah.
Pat McAfee
He's like, ah, okay. And then he was off by like point one. It's like, you all know that. It's just. Yeah, it's just he has the ability to be able to place it right now at this point, better than everybody.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, he does. And I think he works really hard on his landing distances, how far they go, and different wind conditions and whatnot, because we're changing every single week. I mean, think about it. We're going.
Pat McAfee
He's real windy here. Not that Chicago isn't, but Indiana, pretty breezy.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, Chicago was really windy last week, and I struggled in that. And that's what I've always struggled. That's why I don't play as good in the Open Championship at British Open. And that's something I'm working on. I mean, I played well on the back end of it, but, man, if I just would have played better the first day, I would have had a chance to be up there with Scotty. And it's impressive to see how he can just every single week, no matter the conditions, no matter where he's at, just control his distance so well.
Pat McAfee
Okay, so I'm happy you guys are watching along with the rest of us. Ty has a question for you.
AJ Hawk
So when it comes to. Comes to, like, you've won majors, you've won on live, but we got the Ryder cup coming up here soon. And for fans of golf, like, when we look at every. I mean, we've had a hell of a go in the Ryder cup the last couple years. Where would that rank in the. The pantheon? Because you are kind like, you are the perfect guy for the Ryder Cup. I think a lot of people who watch golf and who are fans of you think about that. Where would that rank, winning the Rider Cup?
Bryson DeChambeau
Well, we did it in 2021. Whistling Straits, and that was one of the highlights of my career. But coming off of, you know, not making the team last time around, right. And then losing and just getting our hell kicked out of us. For me, man, there's nothing greater than in New York, Beth Page Black crowds going crazy and just absolutely dominating. That's. That would be probably if. If not the best moment in my career if we could win here again after getting our asses handed to us.
Pat McAfee
And especially because you're a part of the President's.
AJ Hawk
Yeah, exactly.
Bryson DeChambeau
I mean, how crazy would it be if he walks out on the first tee with all of us?
Pat McAfee
So they say he drops all balls out there. You've golfed with him, obviously. We saw him play very good golf with you. He did. In your clip with him, breaking 50 is actually used ever since single Time people try to slam him for being.
Bryson DeChambeau
A bad golfer, they're like, yeah, no.
Pat McAfee
Well, actually, did you see he actually did this?
Bryson DeChambeau
I mean, look, when you're. When you're having fun, you're having fun. You're out there just playing golf, and you just want to enjoy your time. But, you know, when we played the challenge, it was unbelievably impressive how straight he hit it off the tee and how many good second shots he had into the green. You know, his putting is always something to be talked about, but he still made putts, which is really impressive.
Pat McAfee
What stance is that? What you're saying is that what your.
Bryson DeChambeau
Stance is, how he strokes it and whatnot? You know, he's 78 years old, too. Is he 79 now or something? I don't know. He's really. Yeah.
Pat McAfee
Still talking, by the way.
Bryson DeChambeau
Oh, yeah. And I think the most impressive piece is just literally how straight he hits it. I can't tell you. He didn't miss a fairway when I was out there. And. And when we played for break 50, it was by far one of the best achievements I've ever seen out of somebody at that age.
Pat McAfee
He loves the game, too.
Bryson DeChambeau
Oh, my gosh. He cares so much about the game. And, you know, he's hosting a PGA Tour event in Doral, and we're. We're at as one of his golf courses next year as well. So it's really cool to see somebody stepping up and just continuing to support the game of golf like he has. And I think golf is such a great game for relationship development and building just good relationships. I mean, I think you guys have seen it as well, and that's what I. That's why I love the game so much, you know? Yeah, we can talk about winning and tournaments and all the accomplishments you have, but there's so much more than just that. And I think that's also what Scotty was kind of alluding to, you know, that there's more than just winning all the time. Like, yeah, it's great to win, and it's what we aspire to do as children, as kids. And it's awesome to showcase that. But there's also stuff that's outside the game that's so much more important as well, like how you can influence and affect child's lives and kids lives. That's why the presence comes from first tee, too. That first t. First tee is amazing. Yeah, first tee is incredible. The youth on course program. There's a bunch of programs out there that. That are helping Kids get back into it. And we'll be partnering with anybody, any nonprofit that wants to be a part of it and help us out to raise money to help the council kind of grow and continue to support kids around our country. And look, we have a bunch of people willing and ready to do that. And we're excited to showcase what we can do. But again, going back into the youth side, that's what this game is about. You can show how cool nature is. Everybody's on their phone all day long. I think that's probably why the BC crisis is so rampant, so big. And that's. It's frustrating because growing up, I was literally one of the last generations. I'm 31, so. One of the last generations where up till sixth grade, I didn't have a phone. I didn't have it. I was outside with my friends riding a bike and rollerblading and doing a bunch of fun stuff and seeing that go away. Albeit games are so much fun. Like video games. Hanging out, talking on. It's. It's fun.
Pat McAfee
But I don't have fun playing them, actually. I like watching them.
Bryson DeChambeau
Okay, what's your favorite?
Pat McAfee
To watch?
Bryson DeChambeau
No, no, to play.
Pat McAfee
Mario Kart's definitely my favorite to play.
Bryson DeChambeau
Okay.
Pat McAfee
I mean, no questions asked.
Bryson DeChambeau
Okay.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. And I'm not scared if I'm in last. I will take the blue shell. Thank you.
AJ Hawk
I have to.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, and I will send that thing too, immediately. I'm not scared to drop a green back too. You know, I'm a strategizer. I mean, I'll play Mario Kart, but every other game I stink. But what you're saying is because it's, it is a different time for these youths. It is a much different time, a lot different opportunities. And also Covid.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yes.
Pat McAfee
I think told everybody stay home. Everybody got real comfortable just kind of staying home.
Bryson DeChambeau
I did.
Pat McAfee
So I think, yeah, legit. You're not the only one. We went back to Pittsburgh this past weekend for a Phil Mains golf classic. And every place was shut down at like 10 o' clock on a Friday night.
Bryson DeChambeau
That's the craziest part. I don't understand.
Pat McAfee
Everybody to bed.
Bryson DeChambeau
I don't understand how, how everything closes around 10pm at night. Now there's like, if you go to like a normal, just small city, there's nothing open after nine. Like a big city. Okay. It's a little different, but normal, you.
Pat McAfee
Know, I don't know if you guys are going to be able to fix that, but I would like, I like to be able to Go to Mohans on a Friday night whenever I need to piss back in Pittsburgh. But now they're closed at 10 o'. Clock. It's like it's Friday. But I think Covid locked everybody in their houses, literally. And then everybody got real comfortable. Then once you know, how long does it take to start a. A habit or something like that?
AJ Hawk
21 days?
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, it's at least 21 days. And it's got to be consistent every single day.
Pat McAfee
So I think you guys have an uphill battle of trying to get the world back or the United States back into an active one.
Bryson DeChambeau
We do.
Pat McAfee
But I like that you said you'll reach out to any nonprofits and everything that'll help grow the game because you have an opportunity to win $100,000 for somebody today. That's right. Ladies and gentlemen, at about 2:05, maybe 2:10 Eastern Time today on our YouTube, on ESPN plus, on Disney plus and on TikTok Live, Bryson DeChambeau will be taking 14 hacks at our 100 yard hole here at the Thunderdome short course. If he's able to make one of those, he will win $100,000 donation. Now, the reason why it's 14 shots is because the DeChambeau hit it over his house, took over the entire Internet. I followed very closely and I, I even. I'm not like a big commenter on people. People's videos. I don't like doing that. Mostly because I'll just get in there and either get attacked or take up too much attention in the comments. Don't need to be doing that. Okay, Let me get out of here.
Bryson DeChambeau
Oh, you're that guy.
Pat McAfee
But I hopped into yours. I hopped into yours and I was like, hey, I just want to let you know we were all waiting for you to blade one right through that house. I mean, right through that window. And I every single time to watch how close you got and how consistent you were, it was. It was a display of greatness. It was great. I think this was an incredible concept. And today we'll find out if our course is tougher than your house was. 14 shots, you make it in. It was electrifying. You. You do. Hey, listen, you're a great content guy, but obviously tremendous golfer. It's outrageous.
Bryson DeChambeau
How many times?
Pat McAfee
No, no, 14 times. All in there. I mean, it's unbelievable. This is a great concept today. You think you'll be able to hit it?
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, I think I could. It was funny. We. We put up a little skit. We were going to put up a skit of me just actually breaking the glass in 3D doing it. And they were like, ah, we want to like hold off on that. We, we didn't feel like it would be, it'd be right.
Pat McAfee
But yeah, organically smashing your own windows, much better.
Bryson DeChambeau
100%. And then we've actually got another challenge coming out here. Less than a month.
Boston Connor
Oh, really?
Pat McAfee
You feel good about.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, I'm, I'm feeling pretty solid about it. We'll see how I do. But it's a great concept. It actually is going to be a little different than last time. It'll be around my house. I'm not going to give away the full details other than it's going to be inside this time. And we're going to be doing something quite unique inside the house that doesn't include a golf ball but something else. And.
Pat McAfee
So it feels like a pool, billiards ball maybe.
Bryson DeChambeau
No, no, no, no. I'm not going to say what it is. But all I'm saying, all I'm saying is we're going to be giving something away to someone at some point. Some point. If I do make the house okay, congratulations.
Pat McAfee
That's crazy. All right, so at 205 Eastern, you'll be looking to win 100 grand. We can't wait to watch you do that. Also this weekend, obviously you're at the club at Chatham Hills. D butt, massive live golf. Super fan has a question for you.
Ty Schmidt
Yeah, obviously you're a physical specimen out there on the tee box, but you're also kind of like a mad scientist. It seems like you never stop. You talked about the new thing now, but you never stop thinking about the game and change it. I know a few weeks ago I think I heard you talked about maybe building your own ball. Where, where are you at with that? And who was the, who were the influences on you as a young golfer that kind of got you where you are now?
Bryson DeChambeau
That's a great question. I'd say I'm, I'm working to improve my equipment all the time. Even when I was back in 2011, I built the one length golf clubs for me. I still use it today. I'm personally just trying to build the equipment to the best of my ability so I can play the best I can. Hopefully that trickles down and helps everybody else. But honestly, who influenced me as a kid as a youngster was Ben Hogan, no doubt Mo Norman, who is his own trailblazer in his own way. Pretty cool. I don't know if you guys know him, but he's one of the greatest ball strikers of all time. It's all on Mo Norman.
Pat McAfee
Mo. Norm.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, Mo, Norm. All right, all right. Perfect. Perfect.
Pat McAfee
We know more about Mo than most know about Mo.
Bryson DeChambeau
Okay, Mo. What's funny? Tiger actually said he's probably one the of. Of the best, if not the best ball striker of all time. Now, it's funny because he didn't win and a lot, but I would say Ben Hogan is probably one of the best, if not the best, of all time. And then Tiger, obviously, I mean, from his physical preparation, how he prepped on the golf course to be ready was never seen before. And that, I think, instilled a lot of passion behind being the best you possibly can for our generation to come, which is really cool to see. And. And, you know, I hope from a footprint standpoint of me, I hope to just inspire a bunch of kids to play the great game of golf. And I'll keep continuing to do my best in tournaments and improving my equipment and playing the best I can, trying to win a bunch of majors. But ultimately, if I could just get a kid to pick up a golf club or pick up some sort of racket or whatever, go outside, be outside. That's really what I'm here to do on this earth.
Pat McAfee
I think you're doing it because it's so cool to watch you do your thing.
Bryson DeChambeau
Thanks.
Pat McAfee
I just plucked your seven iron BD here. You know, BD stands for, you know.
Bryson DeChambeau
Bryson DeChambeau, of course.
Pat McAfee
And so this thing, this is different than what everybody else's clubs are, right?
Jake Cruel
Yeah.
Bryson DeChambeau
This is.
Pat McAfee
Why are you the only person in the history of golf, too, that just creates your own. Right. You told us the last time that.
Bryson DeChambeau
The head face is curved.
Pat McAfee
It's curved. It is this way, actually.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yes.
Pat McAfee
Because whenever I'm hitting. Because you're swinging. So what's swing speed?
Bryson DeChambeau
Well, it's for irons, it's 105 miles an hour. For driver, it's like 130. 131.
Pat McAfee
Okay, so you're really BDN. All right, I got that. So you built these things to go this way. Right? Like, actually, you're the first golfer that decided I'm gonna start kind of tinkering with.
Bryson DeChambeau
Well, it came because of the. The driver that I was using. I figured out there's more curvature on the face for my fast speeds. Like when. When a face is flat and you hit it off the toe, the ball hooks. If you hit off the heel, it cuts. That's just normally what happens because of something Called gear effect.
Pat McAfee
Of course, yeah.
Bryson DeChambeau
There's the brain right there. It's a lot of terminology that you got to think gear effect.
Pat McAfee
No, I got it. Okay. Gdp, bro.
Bryson DeChambeau
Okay, great, great, great. Sorry. So when you hit up the toe, it hooks, heel cuts. And so what we do to counteract that is curve the face. We actually point the face more towards the right on the toe.
Pat McAfee
And you're allowed to do this? Like this is always been allowed?
Bryson DeChambeau
It has always been allowed. Yep.
Pat McAfee
And you've just been the first person that said I want to do it or.
Bryson DeChambeau
Well, no companies have done in the past, but for some reason they haven't gone that extreme and only in long drive have they done it. So when I went to the long drive community back in 2021, 2022, when I started hitting it really hard and competing, they had faces that were more curved. And I was like, all right, cool, let me try that thing. And ultimately it worked for me on the golf course just when I was playing normal competition. And so I've kind of implemented that. We're creating our own clubs and, and we're pretty.
Pat McAfee
Looks like the head is kind of tilted closed a little bit.
Bryson DeChambeau
Oh, that's just your eyes. You cross eyed a bit there.
AJ Hawk
Would other, would other guys play like shit if they use your clubs?
Bryson DeChambeau
Yes. Yeah, they're, they're. It's because it's so personalized to me. And I think that's the point is for me in life, like everything has to be pretty much personalized to you. Like what works for you isn't always going to work for you and vice versa. And I think that's important to realize that, you know, when you're playing at a high level, you have to have it perfectly built for you. It's just like every, any type of race car, like they have it personally built. Custom steering wheel, custom everything for them, buttons, you name it. And so when you get to the top of your level. Yeah, like that's super upright for swing one of those.
Boston Connor
Why don't you grab the balls, come out of the pocket, let one of those balls go. Let one of those balls.
Darius Butler
Who cares?
Bryson DeChambeau
Do you have a foam ball?
AJ Hawk
Oh, no, he'll hit normal.
Bryson DeChambeau
Oh, you'll hit a real ball in here.
Boston Connor
These real balls only.
Pat McAfee
Okay.
Bryson DeChambeau
I'm like, there's a bunch of stuff up there. Be all right?
Pat McAfee
Yeah, your club's got a little bit too much this. I like the grip. I want to let one go.
Boston Connor
Take a wedge, take a wedge, take a wedge.
AJ Hawk
Take a wedge and let One go.
Bryson DeChambeau
This is probably going to go left.
Boston Connor
Let's see what this club face thing's all about. Don't do it, B.
Bryson DeChambeau
A wedge is flat. The face is flat on a wedge.
Boston Connor
So chip one in the net.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, chip one in the net. Let's see what you got.
Boston Connor
Or blast one right at one of Bryson's guy.
Bryson DeChambeau
Smoke him.
Boston Connor
Oh, yeah, that's.
Bryson DeChambeau
If he shanks it. I'll give you a th000.
Ty Schmidt
Is that a be where you going, Pat?
Pat McAfee
I don't know.
Bryson DeChambeau
No, no, no, one of those little nets.
Pat McAfee
The little.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, the middle one got a B. Middle one.
Boston Connor
BD wedge right there.
Bryson DeChambeau
Oh, Told you.
Boston Connor
All right, you get. You get 14 tries, right?
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah. Do you want to hit a couple more or.
Pat McAfee
Really exploded off the head. Here we go. There we go. I'll tell you what, the hole actually, you see the funny thing about it, it moved mid shot there. So you got different clubs. Everybody else. But you're saying everybody else has different clubs than everybody else.
Bryson DeChambeau
They do. Everybody's unique to their own.
Pat McAfee
You're driving the ball 420 yards. We have this clip, obviously, of you last week. Yeah, I pumped it.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, I pumped that.
Pat McAfee
That's unbelievable. So is this wind at the back?
Bryson DeChambeau
There is. There's about 15, 20 miles an hour, but it was firm and I had it probably like 192 ball speed. And I just hit right on the down slope there and shot forward and rolled out 40, 50 yards. And that's sometimes how far it goes in long drive. That happens a lot. They try to make. Make the fairways a little firmer and. And it goes really far. It's a lot of fun. But I made par. Good par. I made par for them, so that was really nice.
Ty Schmidt
What do you change?
Pat McAfee
Yeah, the wedges.
Ty Schmidt
What are you changing your swing, though? And you're like, all right, I'm really going to pump. Like, what do you do differently?
Bryson DeChambeau
So, I mean, do you want me to show you? I can show you. Yeah, definitely.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. Here's your 50 degree too, by the way. I didn't know I was using something.
Boston Connor
Why don't you t1 up, let 1 go, too.
Pat McAfee
Microphone. Microphone. Turn the microphone. Turn the microphone. We got. We got your mic. Okay, you can talk. He'll just hold it.
Bryson DeChambeau
Oh, what the heck.
Pat McAfee
He'll just. He'll hold it. Yeah. Come on, let's see. Like a boom mic. Like a boom mic.
Bryson DeChambeau
Boom mic.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. Perfect. Yeah, yeah. Sounds good. That's perfect. That's perfect.
Bryson DeChambeau
So when I'm hitting It normal, I don't use a lot of force in my body. I just try to swing with my arms. And then when. When I'm going after it, very simply, you'll see my body go up on the backstroke. I'll already start letting my body fall to the ground when I get to the top. And then right when I hit the top, I then turn the corner, I start pushing force into my left foot, turn around the corner. That throws the club down. And then as that occurs, right about here, it's almost like a jump. And that lets the club just flow through and over. And honestly, those three things up, let it go down, push back and around is what makes the club go really fast and flick. So it's. It's a pretty technical thing to do.
Pat McAfee
Am I going back to my right foot? That doesn't. I've been told I'm supposed to go in my left foot.
Bryson DeChambeau
You are. So you take it back, go to the right foot. It already is going to the left foot by the time you get to the top. So it's just an earlier sequencing thing.
Boston Connor
Do it full speed. 1.
Pat McAfee
Can we.
Boston Connor
It's harder to tell when. Slow down. I mean, you can.
Pat McAfee
You can break whatever. It's your world.
Bryson DeChambeau
Sure.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. Yeah, it's your world.
Bryson DeChambeau
So this is normal bone. Bring your head over here and up, down, and around. And then the earpiece falls out.
Pat McAfee
All right, so that's what I need to do. All right, we got it. I'll tell you what. I just figured it out.
Ty Schmidt
We got a video now.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. And I also. These eyes. I just watched it all happen.
Boston Connor
And you were doing it.
Pat McAfee
I was like, yeah.
AJ Hawk
Yes.
Boston Connor
You were transitioning.
Pat McAfee
The banging about boom, in a bang, in a pow. And then I'm out. Club. Yeah. AJ's in Ohio. He's got a question for you. I think. I think it's about your weight addition that you put on about halfway through your career. Remember with the eight protein shakes? Aj, remember when we were talking about that?
Bryson DeChambeau
It's not good.
Bailey McComas
Yeah. Bryson, that was a great era that you went through. I really appreciate it. Like, watching you Jack Wade up in your garage and drink 15 protein shakes.
Pat McAfee
Yeah.
Bailey McComas
What was it like throughout that period when you started hitting the ball 5,000 yards past everybody and changing the game of golf and, you know, what made you, you know, choose to do that? And then now, obviously, the version that you're in now.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, great question. I'd say that when I first started on tour, I always knew. I always knew I had distance, but never knew like, how far I could truly hit it. I always drove it really straight in college. Always, like, tried to hit it as straight as possible.
Pat McAfee
Did you go to school? I watched you when you were there.
Bryson DeChambeau
Smu.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. You guys are good there.
Boston Connor
Mustangs.
Pat McAfee
Mustangs. Had a good team.
Bryson DeChambeau
We did.
Pat McAfee
I remember the Oklahoma State team was pretty good at the time. Had a pretty good team at a time.
Bryson DeChambeau
Almost.
Pat McAfee
Scotty was there. Bama can play West Virginia. Got some guys that can really spin it.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, it was. It was a fun time. And I hit it really straight. Won the NCAAs, won the USA Amateur. But I went on tour, and I just wasn't as successful as I thought I could be. I missed 14 cuts in a row my first year on tour. Yeah. Not great. Humbling.
Pat McAfee
A little humbling.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah. It was. It was because I was like. I thought I was good going out there, and then all of a sudden, you get kicked in the ass, you know, and you're like, oh, okay, wait a second. And so from there, I was like, look, I gotta find a way to be more repeatable. I worked that in 2017, won four times in 2018, had success, and then I didn't win in 2019. And I was like, what is going on? Why can't I just consistently win every single year? And I said, you know what? I need to give myself an even more distinct advantage. Let's try to hit the ball as far as I possibly can. I had a little bit of data and research behind it, kind of backed that I was through sturgs gain stuff, and. And I learned that if I can hit it three more yards farther, three yards farther, I could be six more yards offline and still have the same strokes gained on everybody else.
Pat McAfee
Of course, we did that research as well.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, you did, right? Yeah, perfect. And so from that, I was like, all right, I'm just gonna get as strong as I possibly can. I'm gonna learn how to hit it as hard as I possibly can and then learn how to hit it straight after that. So I did that for, like, a year, went and won the US Open, hit it everywhere, and still won. Got it out of the rough because I had some strength behind it and got out of the rough. And over the course of time, I've learned to just hit it a little straighter and a little straighter and a little straighter, and it's just gotten better. And then I had some equipment that helped expedite that process. And now we come. Come to hear that. Yeah. I mean, when I. When I was drinking 15 protein shakes a day. I wouldn't say that that's the healthiest thing to do. And I've learned from that. And that's why now I'm on the fitness counsel, so I can help guide kids along to a healthier and longer lifestyle.
Pat McAfee
So how far. How many yards did you gain, you think, from like, average drive over that time. And how much weight did you gain as well?
Bryson DeChambeau
I went from 200 and 200 4.5lbs to at my peak, I was 240.
Pat McAfee
Jeez.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah.
Pat McAfee
Like, that's what talk about these freshman college football.
AJ Hawk
Huge.
Bryson DeChambeau
Huge.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. Gaining weight. That's what you just did.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yep.
Pat McAfee
And tough to breathe. Tough. The knees. It was brutal.
Bryson DeChambeau
I couldn't breathe.
Pat McAfee
That was the.
Bryson DeChambeau
Probably Hurting a little knees a little bit, but it was more of like, my breathing. I couldn't breathe.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. Because fats in it.
Bryson DeChambeau
I couldn't. Like, I always felt winded. I couldn't last a long, long time. So that was the problem for me. And then I went back to 2:20. I'm like, at 220, 225 now. And I went from, let's see, 1, 111 swing speed to like, so 20 miles an hour in swing speed, which equates to 298 yards. Yards of carry to now I'm carrying at 327. Three hundred and twenty eight.
Pat McAfee
That's so much fun. We were just calling it golf ball Whacker Guy. I mean, I was Happy Gilmore. Yeah, you were the guy. Yeah, you were.
Bryson DeChambeau
Inspired me, by the way, that was a part of it, too.
Pat McAfee
That's amazing to hear because it does make sense. If you just get rid of the irons and just go straight from tee box to green. Feels like you would eliminate some strokes.
Bryson DeChambeau
You know, when Happy just knocks it in the hole, he's like, that was so much easier. I said, just do that every time. That's kind of the way I. I felt hitting the driver out there.
Pat McAfee
I'm sick of hitting these irons. Drive the green every single time. And you started doing that. And then obviously golf was getting. We had mega stars happening. And then that's when the split kind of takes place.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah.
Pat McAfee
And. But now I feel like golf is still more popular than it's ever, like. I don't know. Not ever been. Because I don't know what the Tiger number were. I think the tiger numbers were outrageous.
Bryson DeChambeau
I think the amount of people playing the game of golf is way more. I don't know if it's like, necessarily as Popular as it was with Tiger at his peak. To watch. To watch.
Pat McAfee
You guys are tough to find. I'm sure somebody will be able to find how to watch you guys on TV this weekend.
Bryson DeChambeau
We're on Fox.
Pat McAfee
Okay. We'll watch live here in Indianapolis. We'll get a chance to have boots on the ground, eyes on the live golf experience whenever you're 100 yards out. What club is that? Are you going to make this outside for 100,000?
Bryson DeChambeau
That's. Yeah, that's 55. It's a 55°. It's a 10 o', clock, 55°. Anyway, it's not. I can hit a 60 that far. My 60 goes 105 yards. But. But I want a little more control. So I'll go with the 55.10o', clock, so that's shoulder height.
Pat McAfee
Oh, ear to ear. We're talking about Keegan Bradley.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, yeah, you can do that. Exactly.
Pat McAfee
So you're 10 o' clock on.
Bryson DeChambeau
It's right here. Right here. Right arm, right shoulder. It probably will go just a bit past. Usually what happens.
Pat McAfee
Are you trying to get to 100 yards? What's the exact distance at your best club? 91, which is your house, I guess.
Bryson DeChambeau
Is what they say, 95. So the shot over the house was 98 yards. Playing down two. Because I have a little downslope.
Pat McAfee
I told us it was 91 downslope.
Bryson DeChambeau
Oh, really? Well, it's not fully accurate yet, but.
Pat McAfee
Very talented, by the way.
Bryson DeChambeau
By the way, how crazy is AI getting nowadays?
Boston Connor
You have no idea.
Pat McAfee
You have no idea.
Bryson DeChambeau
I have no idea.
Pat McAfee
No fucking idea. I'm gonna let you know that, okay? We learned something. Literally yesterday, I was up until 3:30am with this AI. I.
Bryson DeChambeau
You have no idea which one.
Boston Connor
Don't worry, all right?
Pat McAfee
Don't worry about it. What?
Boston Connor
The secret. We'll tell you.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, we'll tell you.
Bryson DeChambeau
Okay. I mean, I was. I was just at Google camp a little while ago, but their AI is insane. I'm like. I'm using it. I'm like, what is this? Where was this all my life? I mean, if I had this in school, I'd have been a plus. Like, with every single, like, quantum physics, I'd have smashed it.
Pat McAfee
Well, it's not you that's the problem. It wouldn't be you doing.
Bryson DeChambeau
That's true.
Pat McAfee
You see this guy? Chat GPTs.
Ty Schmidt
Google anymore, I just. Chat GPT.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, 5.0. The 5.01 now.
Ty Schmidt
Yeah.
Boston Connor
Okay, people, give it a name.
Bryson DeChambeau
Okay?
Boston Connor
It's nuts.
Pat McAfee
What are you saying?
Boston Connor
Like People name their chat GPT.
Bryson DeChambeau
Oh, yeah.
Pat McAfee
What's up, Cha?
Boston Connor
Hey. What's up?
Bryson DeChambeau
I think there's, like, relationship advice. It gives too, now as well as therapy. There's.
Pat McAfee
I mean, anything you golfers. I don't know what the live schedule is. We heard Dustin Johnson say, I got paid more money and do less work, so that's why this it. And he's kept it moving. But the golfing schedule for most of your life was. I mean, you're here on a Tuesday, the tournaments this weekend, Friday. Goal would be to make it through the weekend, obviously. And then do you. When you were back with the pga, I don't know what the live schedule is. I should. I think you have another tournament the next week.
Bryson DeChambeau
Next week? Yep.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. So then you guys are just back on it.
Bryson DeChambeau
Is that so we have a shorter schedule window, like, of. Of tournaments. So we go from sometimes late January, early February all the way till now. It's just August. We're done after next week, which is great for us because it gives us time to live our lives and get better, do business, get better, get healthier, family, come back stronger, live. And it also. It also gives us. Yeah. Live funny.
Pat McAfee
With an e. With an e. Right.
Bryson DeChambeau
Okay. It also.
Pat McAfee
But not live. I would like you to live live because of what Liv has provided.
Boston Connor
Live with. Live.
Pat McAfee
Yeah.
Bryson DeChambeau
Okay. No, for. For us, like, I. Be honest. It's. It's honest. It's. It's around, let's say, 10 to 12 more weeks that we have in my life every single year that I gain back, which is great. And we're show that took all of.
Pat McAfee
Our breaks this year. Just. You need to know who you're talking to at this point. We in the past have left a lot of off days on the table. This particular year, we utilize those off days.
Bryson DeChambeau
Good.
Pat McAfee
And I'll tell you what, it's a much different life. It's very nice, especially with daughters. You know, the whole thing.
Bryson DeChambeau
It's a healthier lifestyle. There's a balance to it. Right. And that's what we really didn't have, I would say. And so for me, like, I can get better next year because I've got that time to iterate and practice and figure things out and try different equipment and, you know, you name it. And then do business as well, which is fun. Which is starting to.
Pat McAfee
To be. Yeah. You're a Google camp.
Bryson DeChambeau
Okay, stop, stop.
Pat McAfee
That's so cool.
Bryson DeChambeau
I got lucky.
Pat McAfee
You follow all the other sports?
Bryson DeChambeau
A little bit, yeah.
Pat McAfee
Did you see Matthew Stafford going into the teleportal immortal thing. That sounds like something that's right down your.
Bryson DeChambeau
I don't know. I don't know enough info. I gotta look up. Look it up with AI but like, what exactly is it?
Pat McAfee
We're assuming. We don't know either. And you can look it up yourself. Okay. Jesus.
Ty Schmidt
No, you can be a human and do it.
Bryson DeChambeau
I just learned about it today.
Pat McAfee
You learned about what? Google camp.
Bryson DeChambeau
No, no.
Pat McAfee
You're talking about the immortal.
Bryson DeChambeau
Immortal.
Pat McAfee
You don't have to AI the way you just said. I'm gonna AI it, though. We need to not just be that Reliant.
Bryson DeChambeau
Okay?
Pat McAfee
Now granted, what we learned yesterday.
Bryson DeChambeau
See here, I got some bad news.
Pat McAfee
I got some bad news for everybody.
Boston Connor
For some massive business.
Pat McAfee
I got some bad news and some great news. We got some great news for it all. But this immortal thing. Will you. I feels like you would be a guy who would try holistic like things to make your body better. Are you a red light therapy guy?
Bryson DeChambeau
So I have tried it. It's. I do something called muscle activation techniques mat. Have you ever heard of it? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Greg. Greg Roscoff and I work with a guy, Ryan Overturf in Dallas. But Greg comes. I see him. Ryan Overturf works with our team, the Crushers. And Greg, I see him probably once a month. He works with the Bronco. Worked with Peyton Manning, and he worked with the 49ers last year, but he's with the Broncos. And he's a game changer for me in my own personal life. Like, you know, I've been lucky enough to only have, you know, one surgery, which is this hand surgery, which I broke the hamate. The hook of the hamate bone. I don't know if you. It's a lot of bass. It's like a baseball player injury.
Pat McAfee
You did that golfing?
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, long drive.
Pat McAfee
Boom.
Bryson DeChambeau
I just smoked and it was a cold day and it popped.
Pat McAfee
I was like, damn, that sounds.
Bryson DeChambeau
That was in 2022. That was right before I went to live. So there's a bunch of things.
Pat McAfee
Were they thinking about pulling back the.
Bryson DeChambeau
No, I got healthy.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, of course we passed the physical.
Bryson DeChambeau
So I have, you know, a spine that has bulging discs up the whole entire back. And I haven't had any real problems. And we treat it and train it. That's partly why I work out. Because there's actually a way to work out and fix a lot of the problems, but you got to do it in the right way and.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. Because Matt has a back issue and it's like golfers. Back's a big thing, right?
Bryson DeChambeau
It's huge. Yeah. It's usually from the frontal plane, like your stomach and abs. So as major, so is minor trunk flexors, all that. That's not functioning as well to support your back because your back overworks and gets tired and pops and does some bad stuff. So you want to balance your body.
Pat McAfee
Out well, especially when you're 130.
Bryson DeChambeau
Well, that too. Like, think about it. I'm one sided, like all day long, going right side, swinging as hard as I can. I never really go left side. And so my right oblique and. And the side benders and whatnot. Get a little.
Pat McAfee
Any golfers ever hit from both sides of the golf ball?
Bryson DeChambeau
Mac O. Grady. Mao. Grady is a psycho.
Boston Connor
One of the goats.
Bryson DeChambeau
One of the goats, though. Seriously.
Pat McAfee
So like his seven irons on a left.
Bryson DeChambeau
He was just as good left handed as right handed. I'm not kidding you. You have to look.
Pat McAfee
What's his name? Matt.
Bryson DeChambeau
McGleno was his actual name. He created an alias name called Mac O' Grady because Phil. Phil Glenno or Phil McLeno or something like that.
Pat McAfee
I would say it's a McLeno there.
AJ Hawk
Mac O. Grady.
Bryson DeChambeau
I think it's Phil Mc for sure.
Boston Connor
From one of the.
Bryson DeChambeau
I want to double check that last name, but I know it's Phil something is his actual name.
Pat McAfee
Oh, we got a lot of questions on the last name. Feels like you just want to call him a Mick a little bit there. Is that what that was all about?
Bryson DeChambeau
I guess so.
Pat McAfee
Is that. Oh, geez. You know what? I say that. So he would literally have some of his irons from the left side, some of them from the right side. Yeah.
Bryson DeChambeau
So he could literally play golf left handed and right handed. He tried to play in one tournament, and I think it was a PGA Tour event, or it might have been a corn fairy tour event, whatnot. But he tried to play in the morning right handed, and then in the afternoon left handed.
Pat McAfee
Yeah.
Bryson DeChambeau
Tried to sign up as two people.
Pat McAfee
Phil's playing in the morning. Mac playing.
Bryson DeChambeau
That's what he tried to do. Literally. Not kidding you. It's a great story. How old is this guy?
Pat McAfee
When's this? Around, man.
Bryson DeChambeau
He's. He's. I think he's in the 60s or 70s now. He's a lot older, but he still golfs every day and practice.
Pat McAfee
So you were a golf nerd whole life.
Bryson DeChambeau
All my whole life.
Pat McAfee
You talked about Mo. We know Mo, obviously. And now we're talking Mac o'. Grady. Golf was Whole life, your thing.
Bryson DeChambeau
I was a golfing machine growing up. Still am. Have a background in that.
Pat McAfee
And what happened with all the science that you started doing, right? Or math? Like, hey, this is 22. I remember that. Captivated everybody.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah. So, you know, I would measure out. Shoot. I'd use an actual mechanical compass to measure out where the pins are based off the location of the sprinkler heads. I then started doing numbers for how much it would hurt my golf ball in the wind. Like 10 miles an hour into the wind, 15 miles an hour into the wind, depending on the different heights. I just did it based on experimentation.
Pat McAfee
I'm never gonna be good.
Bryson DeChambeau
No, no, no, no.
Pat McAfee
You don't have to.
Bryson DeChambeau
That's why you have a good pattern.
AJ Hawk
I don't think anyone else is doing that.
Bryson DeChambeau
That's why a great. I have a great caddy.
Pat McAfee
Is that your caddy?
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah. Jibo. Yeah, he's the mano.
Pat McAfee
Is he the one sitting down to the left?
Bryson DeChambeau
He's a tall dude that looks dor. Like a dork. Where. Where is Jibo? You want to come out? Come on, come on. Come say hi.
Pat McAfee
He's not coming out.
Boston Connor
He's too nervous.
Pat McAfee
Jibo, Good guy. He's gone.
Bryson DeChambeau
Oh, there we go.
Pat McAfee
See?
Bryson DeChambeau
Now we're talking. Come on, my man.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, come on, Come on.
Ty Schmidt
Oh, geebo.
Pat McAfee
This guy wants to pick up a bed. G. Buzz a good golfer.
Bryson DeChambeau
He's a great golfer. Yeah. He has a golf club called Evergreen Golf Club. He's unbelievable.
Ty Schmidt
How long has she both been on the back?
Bryson DeChambeau
He's been on the back since 2023. And then we started playing incredible in majors. He's.
Boston Connor
There we go.
Pat McAfee
Didn't bug me first. The whole time I had that thing. Yeah, that thing was sitting there. I. I tried my.
J
On tv, it looked like it was resting up against the cup.
Pat McAfee
Okay.
Ty Schmidt
Can't do that.
Bryson DeChambeau
Jibo, I'd like you to tell a really amazing story. And then a really kind of a wild story from me.
J
Wild story.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, let's do a wild story first.
Pat McAfee
On course, I think.
Bryson DeChambeau
On course. On course.
Pat McAfee
We'll just go.
J
We'll make it quick. Last week, he signed a man's thigh.
Pat McAfee
Oh, yeah.
J
And I got a message. Direct message. The night or the day after with it tattooed.
Pat McAfee
Nice. Was that a good tat?
Bryson DeChambeau
You felt it was solid.
Pat McAfee
You felt like you had a good signature.
Bryson DeChambeau
Oh, I made sure it was good on his skate. It was a little sweaty, which is disgusting. But I signed it, right?
Pat McAfee
Yeah, but it's forever.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, you gotta do It. You gotta do it right for him.
Pat McAfee
He.
J
He did a forearm tat and.
Bryson DeChambeau
That's right.
Pat McAfee
How was that? Pretty good.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yep. I try to make it legible, like Arnold Palmer says.
Pat McAfee
And Australia, was that the same place that when Bert Kreischer was there to par three? The place went bananas.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yes.
Pat McAfee
Yes. Right, Australia. Great crowd for live, right?
Bryson DeChambeau
Unbelievable. They love us. It's fantastic day.
Pat McAfee
So far away.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, it is. It's a 17, 18 hour flight.
Boston Connor
Yeah. Two days.
Pat McAfee
Yeah.
AJ Hawk
Two day travel.
Bryson DeChambeau
Pretty much.
Pat McAfee
Yeah.
AJ Hawk
It's a long, long ways.
Bryson DeChambeau
How many trips have we made this year? Three global trips. So we go overseas for three, four.
Boston Connor
Do you have WI fi on those flights?
Bryson DeChambeau
Sometimes. Sometimes you don't. And like a 20 hour one, by the way. How do we not have.
Pat McAfee
Have.
Bryson DeChambeau
How do we not have WI fi on planes? 20, 25. That's what I'm saying. Like, why is it not on every single.
Pat McAfee
I don't know.
Boston Connor
T sham from the one.
Pat McAfee
Hey, I had starlink on one of the planes I was on.
Bryson DeChambeau
Really?
Pat McAfee
It was the greatest connection I've ever had. I had better connection than I do on earth. I was FaceTime with everybody. It was 8K, but it was an overnight flight. Nobody was awake. I was just FaceTiming everybody I knew. I was like, yo, yo, yo, yo. I got great service up here. This is amazing.
Bryson DeChambeau
It's incredible on every plane. And then there's always, like, the airplane mode. And you're like, what the heck? That's. I don't even know if that's a thing. Like, you have to put it on airplane mode.
Pat McAfee
I don't know if it inter triangle GBO. When you're out there, you're telling them, all right, we're 245 yards away. This is about a seven iron for you. Like, when does that whole transition start happening? Are you watching him at the driving range? How do we. How do we get to the point where we know exact. Are you watching him throughout the day? Like, feels like he's a little bit more fired up today. Feels like he's hitting his further. Like, is that your job or how's that go?
J
Like, the X's and O's of it all is definitely a big piece of it, but honestly, a big. I think a big thing with cading is more just being. You got to remember we're out there together for seven, eight, nine hours a day.
Pat McAfee
You got to be D bros. Yeah.
J
Yeah, we got to be. We got a fun. And it's. Yeah, it's obviously the. The X'S and O's. All the decisions that go into it are big, but at the same time, I just try to be really good company, try to keep them positive.
Pat McAfee
Positive. You guys smoking weed out there or. No, not. Not to my knowledge. I didn't know. Live.
Boston Connor
Yes.
Pat McAfee
Yeah.
Boston Connor
Right.
J
There's drug testing on live, too.
Pat McAfee
Is there really?
Bryson DeChambeau
There is for, like, the heart Olympic. It's actually a lot more rigorous than the other side.
Pat McAfee
The other side.
Bryson DeChambeau
The other side.
Pat McAfee
The team up north.
Boston Connor
The other side.
Pat McAfee
That's right. Debug. You got a question for Jibo here?
Ty Schmidt
Yeah. So, guy, I've seen a lot of guys now, maybe it's just more public, but, like, changing caddies a lot. Like a character.
Pat McAfee
Oh, yeah.
Ty Schmidt
It's been crazy.
Bryson DeChambeau
Seriously. Actually, it's nuts.
Ty Schmidt
Once you speak to me, spoke about, you know, being good company, and obviously you have the other side of it, which is the, you know, more precise job. But what do you think guys are looking for when they're all. When they have that rotating caddy in the back? What's. What's usually the. The one or, you know, two or three things that it is.
Pat McAfee
It's just.
J
I feel like change stimulates those guys to an extent. To where. It's like we've all been to where you get a new phone case or whatever like that, and you feel like you get a new phone, it kind of sparks something different in you.
Pat McAfee
I don't know.
J
It's like I said, there's a lot. Bryson and I, we've. We've been, I don't know.
Boston Connor
Partners.
Pat McAfee
Bros.
J
I've been working for Bryson for, you know, just over two years now, but we've gone through a lot on the golf course, off the golf course as well.
Pat McAfee
To where.
J
I mean, it's just like any other relationship. If you don't put the time into. Into communicating and just trying to be on the same page, it's. It's going to wear and tear on the relationship. And so that's why we try to be really open and honest and communicate well.
Bryson DeChambeau
And there are times where he'll be really hard on me and be like, dude, like, no. Like, this is. I don't know what you're doing right now. You got to stop this.
Pat McAfee
So I was a holder. So I was a holder for Vinitari. I viewed myself as a caddy. Yeah. Now, granted, it's Adam Venatori, so I need to stay the hell out of the way. But the conversation. Conversations going on to the field. Let's keep this thing light. Here, let's go ahead and let this. Oh, we're aiming at a fat guy here. Let's go ahead and let's. Yeah, let's have a good time. And let's. Let's also not mess this up, you know, eight iron out. Well, okay, you're fired. Now. 18 seconds from now. We'll continue this show digitally as we exit ESPN. That's Bryson DeChambeau. He'll be golfing the live tournament this weekend in Indianapolis. That's Jibo. That's his caddy. The boys are all here. We'll continue. He'll be trying to win $100,000 for a charity in a matter of moments. Be a friend. Tell a friend something nice. Okay. Nailed it there. Now we're still live. Still life. Need to tell you that. I don't know if you want to say, like, yeah, we. No, no, no, no. You know, you don't need to say.
Bryson DeChambeau
No, but that hundred grand is going to be for the PCs fn for sure. If I make it, it's going to the fitness foundation.
Pat McAfee
Okay? To the foundation. So that has its own foundation.
Bryson DeChambeau
We do have our own foundation. That's what I'm saying. We can.
Pat McAfee
Nobody's going to want to donate to that. You know that. Like, I will donate to it, but I'm just telling you, we're trying to help make.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, but I just want to get.
Boston Connor
It for about half the country all the time.
Pat McAfee
For the rest of time. Forever.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah. No, look, we have great resources. We're. We're going to be fine. But that's what I'm saying, you know? Come on. Come on, let's go.
Pat McAfee
I don't know. I. Use your clubs. Feels like they're pulling left.
Bryson DeChambeau
Well, it's because it's super upright. It's because it's super upright. You just aren't. You're upright enough, I guess.
Pat McAfee
Well, you could have said something before. I heard you say, that's upright, but I didn't hear, like, follow up. GDP your pcfn. No follow up, Matt. There's no mat. No, you follow up. Yeah, the upright thing. No follow up. You just said. Yeah, you're upright. Upright. It's like, okay, how about a little. I need a Jibo.
Bryson DeChambeau
That's right.
Pat McAfee
You need a caddy, you let me know. Yeah, but what did I do wrong? Where the hell were. I was.
Boston Connor
I mean, why don't you.
J
Waiting for a shank.
Boston Connor
You might as well just try it again with Jibo's advice.
Pat McAfee
No, no, no. Put it.
Boston Connor
Okay.
Pat McAfee
There we go. I need you.
Bryson DeChambeau
Oh, he's got a putter.
Ty Schmidt
Okay, you gotta get up, right?
Pat McAfee
Can I use your putter?
J
Yeah, it's.
Bailey McComas
Use the tall one.
Bryson DeChambeau
I wouldn't use it. I'd use this.
Darius Butler
You would?
Pat McAfee
Yes. And make. Can I see your putter? What is your putter? It's a ridiculous one. Right.
Ty Schmidt
Then the lab putter. Steal your design.
Bryson DeChambeau
And how.
Pat McAfee
How do you feel about la. Oh, it's good.
Bryson DeChambeau
It's great.
Pat McAfee
All right, so what am I doing? I'm doing this.
Bryson DeChambeau
That's great. Arm lock.
Boston Connor
It's tor.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yep.
Pat McAfee
This.
Bryson DeChambeau
Yep.
Pat McAfee
That's perfect. And then what?
Bryson DeChambeau
Put the other hand on. You go a little lower on the shaft.
Pat McAfee
Okay. And then what?
Bryson DeChambeau
And then you just literally take it back. Take it back.
Boston Connor
I mean, get your read from. From Jibo before, too.
Pat McAfee
I don't.
J
I don't know if we're gonna feel much slope in this.
AJ Hawk
No, it's right. It's like a 10 on the stint meter.
Boston Connor
Yeah. You'll see. You can see the undulation if you get lower.
J
To Bryson's credit, he doesn't. I sneak in there every once in a while. Do you feel anything in your feet? So standing facing the hole.
Ty Schmidt
Ancient formula.
J
You stand facing the hole, kind of straddling. Do you feel one foot's low or anything? Or pretty. Pretty flat?
Pat McAfee
Yeah.
J
Close your eyes.
Boston Connor
I mean, why don't you get down a little bit so you can see the hole, you know?
J
Okay. So if you feel like your right's a little bit lower than your left, then it could break a little, right? I don't think that's going to happen. So I'd say just right.
Pat McAfee
Oh. Little firm.
J
Good try, though.
Boston Connor
Fire him.
Pat McAfee
Fire.
Boston Connor
Pat, that's not your caddy.
Pat McAfee
A little.
J
Little softer. A little softer. A little more.
Boston Connor
Right.
J
And it's. It's money. That has a chance. That has a great chance. Yes.
Boston Connor
Oh, my good.
J
That would have gone in.
Ty Schmidt
I might have gone in.
Boston Connor
Oh, for two.
Pat McAfee
That was.
Boston Connor
Now you owe 100.
J
That's why he tried to tend the flag for you. Obviously didn't go. Well, let him. Let him stick to. To playing. I'll caddy. Oh, see, you broke.
Boston Connor
Bryson, this is your guy.
J
See his face go red.
Bailey McComas
Okay, putter's broke.
Pat McAfee
Let's see it. Oh. Oh. Not as easy as it looks, huh?
J
Oh, it goes right.
Pat McAfee
I don't know how I feel about this weekend.
Boston Connor
Oh, no, that's nice. Oh, there you go.
Ty Schmidt
Okay.
J
One for three.
Pat McAfee
I agree. It was the putter's fault. All right. Why don't you go ahead. So I was putting a fake wood. Yeah, that's right.
Bryson DeChambeau
That's right.
Pat McAfee
Hey, Jibo, thanks for grabbing. That's awesome. There it is.
Boston Connor
I usually.
Pat McAfee
Pro.
Boston Connor
Pro, I believe.
J
I usually don't pick up throw clubs.
Pat McAfee
But I'll do that. Yeah, I like that. Let's not reward bad behavior.
Bryson DeChambeau
If I. If I like do something, I'm a little, you know, pissed or whatnot. I throw a club or something like that. He won't pick it up.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, I like that.
Bryson DeChambeau
Which is great because it gives. It gives me like clarity thought like. Okay, you can't do that. Come on.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, you're. You're not a 2 year old. Yeah, yeah. You're a 31 year old adult. Yeah, I understand. Okay. Why don't you guys go get ready for this. Hunter, your shot.
Bryson DeChambeau
All right.
Pat McAfee
We will see you back there. Good luck, Jibo. He's gonna need it. Nobody's ever made this.
Bryson DeChambeau
Nobody's ever made it.
Pat McAfee
Nobody. We've had multiple people here that are golfers.
Ty Schmidt
Only one pro, though.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. Pro that's been here. He has not made it very close.
Boston Connor
But he was 75.
AJ Hawk
He was going at the 75, not the hundred.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. Nobody's mainly in that hundred hole.
Boston Connor
Use the range finder.
Pat McAfee
It might not be a hundred too.
Boston Connor
Yeah.
Pat McAfee
Find your rage. That might be a game.
Boston Connor
Allegedly. It's long.
Pat McAfee
That might be a part of the game.
AJ Hawk
It hasn't been treated in quite some time either.
Pat McAfee
Huh.
Boston Connor
Agrees.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. The club, the seven or the 50 left. Ladies and gentlemen, that's Bryce. We appreciate you, bro. So they're the D Sham Bros. Yeah. Jibo the super D Sham. D Shambo. Okay. Well, before we go outside. Do that. He's taking 14 hacks at this thing. Yep. Pumped 100 yards. We have no idea if it's actually 100 yards. I think we've.
Boston Connor
I thought said it was like 105 when they.
Pat McAfee
When they looked at it.
Boston Connor
Yeah, I thought. But it might have been the opposite way too. It might have been 95.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. But he also might have had a little different. Cuz Bubba hits it a little, you know. True. Been talking to Bubba.
Boston Connor
True.
Pat McAfee
Hey, yeah, it's 105. Actually 106. Whenever they gave a rose. His caddy this weekend. Green light. Green light on this. Just full green light. And then puts it to. To six feet or whatever. That feels so good. I wonder because he said it's right here.
AJ Hawk
Yep.
Pat McAfee
They said they shot it this morning. It's 100 yards.
AJ Hawk
I was gonna say Russ Green. It's 100 yards. He ain't around with that.
Boston Connor
Oh, is that right?
AJ Hawk
Yeah. And if it. If it would have been 102, guess what we would have paid for 102 yard hole, not 100 yard hole. There would have been a little bit of an upcharge.
Pat McAfee
I'll tell you what. Russ Green really is something special.
AJ Hawk
He is.
Pat McAfee
What's the name of the company?
AJ Hawk
Oh, I couldn't tell you.
Pat McAfee
Russ Greens.
AJ Hawk
No, it's not that. It's not his name.
Pat McAfee
It's like.
AJ Hawk
It's like Hollywood Greens or some like that.
Pat McAfee
I don't know.
AJ Hawk
I apologize, Russ. I can't remember the name of the company. He does great work, though, sitting right there.
Pat McAfee
Yes, he does. We'll see if D Sham Bro Celebrity Green.
AJ Hawk
There it is. Hollywood.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, right there. It's not Russ Greens. Greens not bad idea. He wants to go solo, which he could. We watched him work. Yeah, well. And a bowling well.
Bryson DeChambeau
Right.
Pat McAfee
Mostly the boys. Russ got it done, though. We like two days. Yeah. We got two holes out here. All right, that's what we're gonna go do. Let's go to one half of the Hammer Cowboys over in Hammer. Done. Done. AP Tone's not in there. I am. I am in here. We don't have the no camera, though. We have camera. We took your camera.
Darius Butler
Oh, it's okay there.
Pat McAfee
Sound like. All right. To do you want to give an audio read for what's coming out tomorrow at noon?
Darius Butler
I was looking at Mitt while I.
Boston Connor
Was saying it, so it just happened.
Bryson DeChambeau
Jeez.
Pat McAfee
They got no camera.
Darius Butler
Tomorrow at noon, we have the second annual version of the need to know Gambler's guide for College ball. It is 85 to total pages. It has a preview of every single power four team. That's 68 teams in total. You know, talking about their returning players, their key players, who their coaches. Do they have new coordinators, their schedule breakdown, such and such, such and such with those teams. And then I give out my best bets, who I think the playoff bracket's going to be, stuff like that. Tomorrow at noon for 9.99.
Pat McAfee
Congratulations, Tony. Proud of you, buddy. Thank you. Dark in that. He also got quotes from basically every single coach. He looked them all up like he. He was either there in attendance with the recorder or looked them up. Got great quotes from every single coach that helped tell the tale on what he thinks the team's going to be like and what you need to look at. Honestly, Tone, this is one of the best things you've done. Obviously family and everything. We're talking about even that include. Okay, well, I would like them to say on the record that I don't agree with that side. You can. Aside from that, this is one of the greatest things that you have started to do and I'm happy we're going to continue to do this. A lot of things that are great that we run, we get sick of it quickly and don't do it again. That's kind of a part of our problem. You know, some people find success in things and then they hammer it home forever. We're the complete opposite. If inclus too good, we go, all right, it was good. We need to move on. This was awesome last year. And reading through what this year's is going to be, I can't thank you enough for all the fucking research that you did for all of us college football fans. Legitimately.
AJ Hawk
No, thank you.
Bryson DeChambeau
I appreciate it.
Darius Butler
I love doing it. I, I, I feel like I fall in love with college football more and more every year now. And this also selfishly helps me get prepared for the season. So. Yeah, I mean, I love doing it. I'm going to do it as, as long as I can.
Pat McAfee
We have a shot outside currently. We can't wait for that tomorrow. Congrats. Thank you, brother. Bryson walking to the hole now. He's walking it off. He's pacing it off. I guess that's him with obviously. You see the little khakis on? Yeah. Ra get maybe old white BS out here. He's wearing Reebok. You see that?
AJ Hawk
Yeah.
Pat McAfee
He's a Reebok athlete, right? Yep. I didn't know they had that. Took me back to like rookie year. NFL.
Bailey McComas
They're coming back. They're coming back.
Pat McAfee
Do you remember A.J. reebok was in the NFL? Like, remember Peyton? Yeah.
Bailey McComas
Reeboks that went up to his knees, they were so tall. He had those giants.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, but nobody thinks. Remember the, I'm not going to say it. Terrible ass shorts that they had the worst. The shirts, the, the sleeve. I mean, they had some terrible at the time when they were with the NFL. And then when Nike comes in, it was an immediate. And I thought Reebok was going to be dead for them. Reebok said, we're coming back. Reebok seemingly did like a full rebrand AIs.
Ty Schmidt
And AI's been a rebot.
Boston Connor
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
AJ Hawk
Answers.
Pat McAfee
Yep.
Ty Schmidt
Yeah, those were hell of a run.
Pat McAfee
Yes. Yeah, Reebok had a hell of a run. Then I thought they were dead. Just once you lose the NFL and everything, it kind of Happened. I thought they were kind of done. And it feels like they have tried to kind of reinvigorate what they are, rebrand themselves. And I think DeChambeau is a good guy to get on board with. He talked about that. Google camp. Golf is where they talk about just business happening. Like business, business, business. Imagine him going out on a golf course with some CEO of some company. I'm gonna hit this thing 420 yards. Holy. Hey, Bryce. Hit the green, Bryson. And he will. Yeah. You know, like, think about how many. I couldn't even imagine the amount of. And he's 31. Yeah.
Bailey McComas
Young kids love him. My kids. Like, they might be the only golfer my kids know who, like, are aware of. I mean, they know Scotty Sheffield. I know, like, someone. But Bryson, like, they are juiced for Bryson. They watch a lot of his stuff.
Pat McAfee
He's doing something in the house. Not with a golf ball.
Bailey McComas
What could that be?
Pat McAfee
And he's giving away something pretty important. So we gave away his house for him. Right today.
AJ Hawk
Yes.
Pat McAfee
Will we give away $100,000? We shall see. We got Bailey McComas on a Steadicam out there by the green. Here's his shot. Very excited to see how that ends up working out. He does not know we have cut to him right now.
AJ Hawk
Pretty steady.
Boston Connor
Steady.
Pat McAfee
Full anxiety panic attack. I assume from Bailey once he realizes that this is currently on air. Right now. Yeah. My leg. Oh, shit. So those are the D Sham bros that came to the office. It was good. Good to see. Obviously, see Jibo pre jacked. Yeah. Carry that thing around. Obviously. That's Bruce Brown out there. He's certainly giving advice to D. So.
AJ Hawk
Basically, like, all the Pro V1s are going to be, like, right over there. Got some chrome stuffs over here I love.
Pat McAfee
Oops. I gotta go back inside. Let me know if you need anything.
Boston Connor
Nobody might be doing is inside. His house is chipping, like, a marshmallow into somebody's mouth. Mouth or something.
Pat McAfee
I don't think that's going to be a series. Maybe. Maybe that'll be the series I could eat. I don't.
Boston Connor
If he. If he gets one.
Pat McAfee
Jibo's mouth.
Boston Connor
You get one a day. Yeah. Chibo's or Jibo into his mouth.
Pat McAfee
What if Jibo's shoes taped to the ground.
Boston Connor
Yeah.
Pat McAfee
Can't move in the living room. Got a snag. Marshmallow. Every single day. One shot. Could be a. That could be a lifetime. What's Scott doing in the back? Seems like he's kind of drifting off. Okay. He's. He's focused in. All right, well, we're gonna head out there. Let's take a break. We'll be back on the other side with Bryson Dechambeau at the Thunderdome short course. He'll be attempting to hit a hundred yard shot for $100,000 donation. He'll get 14 attempts, which is the exact amount of attempts it took him to make a hole in one over his house, which we all watched on the Internet. Jibo just got a line on. I would like to hear what G. Bo thinks. He just had the yardage out on it. He's certainly talking to me right now. Now, D. Shambro, you can tell he's a golfer because the neck burn and then the T shirt polo whiteness on his side.
Boston Connor
Freddie Prince.
Pat McAfee
Yeah.
AJ Hawk
That is Taco Bell.
Pat McAfee
Yes.
Boston Connor
School him up, doc.
Ty Schmidt
Smarting them up.
Boston Connor
Tell them what to do.
Pat McAfee
Talk.
AJ Hawk
Got a couple gnats and flies flying around his head.
Pat McAfee
Bill. Let's get some practice.
Ty Schmidt
Oh, Bill.
Pat McAfee
Pretty dialed in. Bailey McComas.
Bailey McComas
Thanks, Doc.
Pat McAfee
Okay. Not a bad shot, Bill. Good one.
Bailey McComas
Good.
Pat McAfee
This is not bad, Bill. Well done, Bill. I don't know if he can hear us. Can he hear us right now? No. No, he cannot, Bill. Bill's getting complimented by people and he can't hear it. That's so Bailey. If I've ever heard anything in my entire life.
Darius Butler
Story of his childhood.
Boston Connor
Yeah, well, I was gonna say he never had one.
Pat McAfee
Tony. It's wind. It's gonna be windy out.
Ty Schmidt
Oh, it's a good one.
Boston Connor
He's going for the other one.
AJ Hawk
Oh, he's just dialing in his distances right now.
Pat McAfee
Stop.
Bailey McComas
What if he starts lining him right.
Pat McAfee
At Bill and just starts made an appearance out there? Yeah, whenever we laid this tee box down. Why is he trying to do a little punch shot at this thing? Is that what he just tried to do right there? Sure looked like it did.
Bailey McComas
Look like a little messing around, Tim.
Pat McAfee
Probably. We told him that, Bailey.
AJ Hawk
Bill, rack.
Boston Connor
Focus.
AJ Hawk
Christ.
Pat McAfee
Oh, good.
Bailey McComas
He's got. Look, he's going to start lining up Bill right now. Can he hear us?
Pat McAfee
Bill does have a helmet on. He's certainly trying to hit Bill right now. We'll be back on the other side with Bryce. D. Shampoo. Bill, have a helmet. Me and Fred tell he does have a helmet on. Being friend. Tell friend. Something nice. My changer. Like we might give away a bunch of money on the other side.
Boston Connor
Yeah.
Pat McAfee
All right, we'll see you there. Goodbye.

Pat McAfee
Well, hello beautiful people. We come to you live from the Thunderdome short course here in Indianapolis, Indiana. I will be hosting out here boots on the ground alongside a year NFL vet Darius J. Butler. Debut. What we have behind us is a barbarian golf ball whacking genius. How do you feel about today's challenge where he's going to have to hit a 100 yard hole in 1 in 14 attempts?
Ty Schmidt
I'm excited about it. It's an absolute alien out here with the golf club in his hand. I'm taking the hit it. I would say less than 10 shots.
Pat McAfee
Wow. So Deba thinks he's going to make it. Mr. D. Shambell, you've had a couple of takes at it. I do believe you've g. You've also tried to snipe our cameraman out there, Bailey, who is wearing a helmet and we look out for everybody's safety. OB how do you feel after hitting a couple of times? Is it a little bit different out here at the Thunder, though?
Bryson DeChambeau
Yeah, I mean it's electric, man. This is, this atmosphere, you know, the thunder, everything's going on there actually is.
Pat McAfee
Lightning and thunder happens.
Bryson DeChambeau
That's what I'm saying. It's. It's electric. So hopefully we can make lightning strike twice.
Pat McAfee
I think it's already struck 10 times, which is a little bit dangerous. We will get out of the way here. He went 14 attempts. Boys, can you hear me back in the Thunderdome?
Boston Connor
Not really, but allegedly it's sounding good going through.
Pat McAfee
They said they can't hear, so it's just.
Boston Connor
We just can't hear you.
Darius Butler
It Sounds great on the stream, but yeah, we can.
Boston Connor
We can't hear.
Pat McAfee
Okay, well, you guys sound amazing to us. Dechambeau looks very jacked. 222 pounds, he said.
Ty Schmidt
I see it. I like the Reebok. So the Reeboks are clean.
Pat McAfee
We will not talk. Yes, we are. Oh, it is drawing. Drawing. Okay, so you're about three feet off there. I don't have good eye on it, boys. What did you see from out there? Bailey? Zimmerman. Okay, a little bit short there now. Are you gonna take a breather, do you think? More rapid fire. Jibo, do you think he needs to just get it after it or what do you think? Momentum player. Jibo says we need to just keep getting after it. D Shambo. Boom. Trying to draw that thing, but he's been short a couple times.
Ty Schmidt
Yeah, he's trying to draw it in there. What number are you trying to hit it to, Bryce?
Bryson DeChambeau
103 yard shot. 102 yard shot. 103 over 10 o' clock shot for me.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, about 10:05. That's pretty good. It's about 10:07. Oh, dancing though. Hey, these rust greens. Greens. I'll tell you what, do have some sand on there. They will be polite to you if you bring in it from the sky. D Sham bro on his. Oh. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. All right, how many balls do we have left now? How many balls do we have left left?
Bryson DeChambeau
I don't know.
Pat McAfee
We had 14 in there at the time. Okay, so I was five. We're still good. Hey, we're in a good spot.
Ty Schmidt
I still feel great about my tender list.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, that one might have been the one. That one. DeChambeau on his sixth attempt. Big draw. Amazing how much it's turning on. On just a hundred yards. Hold on, hold on. Can we get a. Hold on one second. Bailey, can you take that ball off? Off. Can you take the ball off? Bailey with his helmet.
Boston Connor
Bryson hit him. Bryson.
Pat McAfee
Bryson. One of the balls is out here. Bailey's McComas. It was close. Somebody let Bailey know that he was just about 2 to 3 yards away from getting sniped by a D Sham bro ball. Okay, let's get back to serious business. Enough of you messing around. I don't like the messing around.
Ty Schmidt
Enough jagging off.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, a lot of jocularity out here. Focus. Bailey's good. 100 yard shot. D. Shambro. So you're trying to draw a hundred yard shot. Are you drawing every shot of yours? I didn't know you could Even draw from this distance, it's just.
Bryson DeChambeau
I'm a weirdo.
Boston Connor
No, this guy stinking.
Bryson DeChambeau
Golf actually that good at golf? No, I'm not. I told you, my wedges are the worst part of my game.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, and we kind of put you right into wedge territory here. That is the Thunderdome short course. I'll tell you what, this is good training. That. That one feels real nice. Oh, short, though. Short. You know, he said he stopped drinking 12 protein shakes a day. I think if he was on that, he wouldn't be short here.
Ty Schmidt
He might be on us, maybe.
Pat McAfee
Let's. Let's get jacked up on it. Bryson DeChambeau. It's eyeing it. It's finding it. Almost snipes the GoPro that's sitting right behind. We have five balls left. What have you learned thus far in your nine ball venture here at the Thunderdome short course?
Bryson DeChambeau
Suck with my wedges?
Pat McAfee
No. Stop being so negative. He's just jibo.
Bryson DeChambeau
Actually, no, but actually, it inspires me to work harder. If I tell myself you're not. Not as good as something. I'm gonna go work my butt off.
Pat McAfee
Twice as hard building that chip on your shoulder by yourself, Coach Knight. Well, let us tell you that the people in the Thunderdome are telling you that you suck at golf. Not us. The people in there.
Ty Schmidt
We need G. Bo to tell them something.
Bryson DeChambeau
Okay?
Boston Connor
Probably one of the worst golfers we've seen here.
J
Happy Gilmore, too. What would your happy place look like?
Pat McAfee
This we're talking about. We need a happy place.
Bryson DeChambeau
Nah, I got a pissed off place.
Pat McAfee
Okay. He said I like hate more than love.
Bryson DeChambeau
No, no, no, no.
Pat McAfee
Five shots left.
Bryson DeChambeau
Personal agenda here. Get this thing in the hole.
Pat McAfee
100 yard shot. DeChambeau. Oh, my God. Is that it? Is that it? Oh, wow.
Ty Schmidt
That would have been what, 10?
Pat McAfee
Hey. Two feet. Two feet right there. So 24 inches or so was the difference between a hundred thousand dollars being donated on that last shot. But I think if I know you, the more mean you are to yourself, the better you're gonna get here. So if you'd like to bury yourself any more right before this shot, we are certainly here for it.
Bryson DeChambeau
It's the perfect amount.
Pat McAfee
He's genuinely pissed. There is an aura of intensity.
Bryson DeChambeau
Oh, short. That looks so good.
Pat McAfee
It did look good.
Bryson DeChambeau
That's not gonna get it done, folks.
Pat McAfee
Oh, you can hear them in there.
Bryson DeChambeau
I heard that one.
Pat McAfee
No problem.
Bryson DeChambeau
Come on, talk me a little more.
Boston Connor
You can't. You can't be showing up short. I mean, is this. Is this golf? Are you Trying hit the ball, Nancy.
Pat McAfee
Jeez. That's Connor in there. He's the one terrible talking, by the way. Oh, wow.
Boston Connor
I mean, to be completely clear here, we're operating blind. All right, We're a little bit. We're a little bit behind the curtain right now.
Pat McAfee
Can't see anything.
Boston Connor
Sue me.
Pat McAfee
They're getting a heads up on what is happening.
Bryson DeChambeau
It's for the kids, right?
Boston Connor
Jason, what was your thought when you had that in his backswing, right, in his backswing.
Pat McAfee
His backswing. It does not matter. Come on. Oh, my God. Oh, wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute. Hey, it was rolling, I guess. It was rolling, I guess. Hey, Bill, Bill. Hey, can you clear those out? We got some backspin coming.
Boston Connor
Hey, Pat, can you. Can you ask him what it was like when he had that first CNN interview when they basically tried to pin that thing on him?
Pat McAfee
No, I'm not gonna ask him about that.
Boston Connor
He said you could ask about anything.
Pat McAfee
He did handle it with classic. Oh, my gosh.
AJ Hawk
Yeah. Drill Bill. Right in the shin.
Pat McAfee
He's. He's head hunting right now. Oh, wow.
AJ Hawk
Yeah, I love it.
Boston Connor
Take your anger out on him. He kills people.
Bryson DeChambeau
All right, last one.
Pat McAfee
Hey, if you catch us, I'll give you 100,000. Yeah. This is so nice. He's giving away his house too. Yeah.
Boston Connor
Catch it, Bill.
Pat McAfee
Oh, my.
Darius Butler
Have it hit off his helmet.
Pat McAfee
Okay.
Darius Butler
All right, have him a headbutt one.
Pat McAfee
Now we have. I'll tell you what. He almost didn't headbutt one on purpose there. Dechambeau incredibly accurate with that. What was that club there?
Bryson DeChambeau
I don't know.
Pat McAfee
Seven iron. Seven iron.
Bryson DeChambeau
Seven iron.
Pat McAfee
That was club. I was using. Two shots left at it.
Bryson DeChambeau
That's why he's my cat.
Pat McAfee
Oh, do it.
Bryson DeChambeau
Just do your thing, darling.
Pat McAfee
Oh, it's short. All right. I'll tell you what, can't be short on the last one. We know that D by before we hit this one, please. We'd like to have a full thing here. Darius, what are your thoughts? You. You projected less than 10 shots as he's kicking things at the microphone, literally on the ground at this moment. He's missed 1300 yard shots. Wasn't able to put it in the hole, obviously, would be an incredible feat. What are your thoughts as we go in the last one? I think he's a guy that actually. Actually makes this one.
Ty Schmidt
Thing I know about Bryce, he's an absolute showman. Greatest showman in golf right now. So, of course, he waited to the last ball to sink it. Come on.
Pat McAfee
What were you thinking?
Ty Schmidt
This guy's not an amateur.
Pat McAfee
We could have gave him 10 shots. Can't give him 100 shots. It would have been the last one. Regardless, because he knows content. The longer the people are watching, the better. And then at the end, we got to give him a real climax. Jackass. Oh, my God. All right, ladies and gentlemen, we've pissed him off before. Live Indy as he throws his club. Jibo will not get that for him. We do know the story. Yeah. Bryson, we appreciate you, man. Thank you for coming by. Good luck this weekend. Congrats on everything. Way to do the presidential thing. Try to look out for the future. That's really cool of you. Legit.
Bryson DeChambeau
That's the goal. We're excited about it. We can't wait to empower a bunch of kids to be healthy. I can't wait.
Pat McAfee
Would have been cool for us to donate a hundred thousand dollars to them.
Boston Connor
Real cool.
Pat McAfee
We'll still do it, though. We'll donate $50,000 to the PCFN. PCSFN for Bryson, all the other incredible sports people that are involved in the new fitness council with the president. We're pumped and thankful that he came. He'll be at Live Indy this weekend. It'll be at the club at Chatham Hills. I'm assuming. It'll be great. Congrats to you on being the man. Appreciate what you're doing for golf, dude. Everybody loves you. Hey, boys. Back in the Thunderdome. I couldn't hear you or see you either, but it was great out here to watch a great do some of the great things. Him putting it to two to three feet a couple different times. Crazy. But obviously not enough to put it up.
Boston Connor
Yeah. But I mean, it was sweet. There's nothing like watching someone who is a professional golfer.
AJ Hawk
Also, the sound of his ball tracking.
Boston Connor
Yeah.
AJ Hawk
A little loud in there in our ears. You know, that was kind of the one thing that was really dialed in, but it, you know, hey, hats off to Bryson. You know that that's not an easy hole to. To dunk.
Boston Connor
Yeah. He's junkyard dog. Hawker. You see anything or. No?
Pat McAfee
Were you? Awesome. Are we still on? Are we still. Yeah, I don't know.
Bailey McComas
Yeah, we're still on.
Boston Connor
I could.
Bailey McComas
I could actually see it. He almost made a few of those.
Boston Connor
Yeah, he had like.
Pat McAfee
Hold on.
Boston Connor
Are they hitting more?
Pat McAfee
Well, I don't.
Bailey McComas
Yeah, Talk hitting.
AJ Hawk
They know that.
Boston Connor
Like, no talk. Yeah. I don't know if they do, so may mute those ones, but I. I believe talk doesn't golf. He tried golf One time, and his entire back basically exploded. So he doesn't golf anymore, but that's just classic. I think talk might have something on his face.
Pat McAfee
I was gonna say, for.
AJ Hawk
For whatever reason, the. The gnats and. And the flies seem to be attracted to Tox. You know, his entire head, he's been swinging and trying to get those away from him the entire time he's been out here.
Boston Connor
So that's what happens when you wash your hair with gummy bears. You just really. You really can't be doing that. But I. I mean, hey, hell of a challenge. He was close.
AJ Hawk
He was close. He was probably closest to anyone. Well, I don't know. I. I don't know if foxy's been closer than on the 100 yarder.
Boston Connor
Fox. You've hit one on each, I thought.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, I've made one on each. Correct. It took a lot of tries to, though.
Boston Connor
Not 14. No, you can do it in four.
Pat McAfee
Times that by about a thousand. No way.
Boston Connor
You haven't hit 14,000 golf balls in your life.
Pat McAfee
No, I have not. Sorry. I'm asking Bruce. Currently asking Bruce to ask Pat if we should still be live. Right?
AJ Hawk
Yeah, That's a great question.
Boston Connor
That is great question.
Pat McAfee
Wait, hold on. What is Bruce saying?
Boston Connor
He was basically, I got to go.
AJ Hawk
Pick up the pro V ones and bring them back to the tee box. So I don't know. If I had to guess.
Pat McAfee
If I had to guess.
Boston Connor
Yeah, yeah, I. I would agree with you.
Pat McAfee
He's coming in right now.
Darius Butler
Okay.
Pat McAfee
All right. All right. Hog.
Boston Connor
You almost went one running there. I saw you.
Pat McAfee
Yep.
Bailey McComas
Almost took off. There's Botch is coming backo.
Boston Connor
We didn't bully him.
Pat McAfee
No, they're one of us bullied.
Boston Connor
We tried to motivate. Who do you think I was trying to motivate?
Ty Schmidt
I could. I couldn't hear a thing.
Boston Connor
Yeah, I was trying to motivate him.
Pat McAfee
He.
Boston Connor
He said he gets. He's better when he's pissed. Trying to make him better, man.
Pat McAfee
You think you got him pissed?
Boston Connor
Yeah, he said he was pissed.
Pat McAfee
Did you see?
Boston Connor
Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah, we could see it.
Pat McAfee
So I'll tell you, it was thunder, lightning out there. Like, storm coming. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Like, like projected two minutes ago. So whenever we're sitting out there and we have a run that video beforehand, we're trying to figure it all out. He was like, actually, and the team was like, got some atmospheric pressure in here. That's why the entire beginning was like, yeah, we're trying to get lightning strike few words of times. Because golf, I think that is a sport that you don't want to be.
Darius Butler
Yeah, exactly.
Pat McAfee
Oh, yeah.
AJ Hawk
They'll put the sirens out.
Darius Butler
So his last five, six swings were a bit sawed off. So I want to wonder if that was. He didn't want the club all the.
Bryson DeChambeau
Way up in here.
Pat McAfee
Exactly. He moved down one ear, more of an ear to ear from 10:00pm here to about, you know, like a 7:00pm.
Ty Schmidt
Yeah, for me, it was crazy to see how much he was drawing it with the wig, bro.
Pat McAfee
That thing was going. Yeah.
Darius Butler
You asked him about it.
Boston Connor
It looked like it too.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, it is. Cuz it looks like it's hitting Bailey in the head. Yep. And then that thing just turns in.
Darius Butler
So you sure you want to go.
Pat McAfee
Right at it or. Yeah. Jibo. I like Jibo's little vibe out there.
Boston Connor
Gbo's good energy.
Pat McAfee
I like the d. Shambo got all pissed off at himself. Yeah, I like that. I bet you he says some mean stuff to himself.
AJ Hawk
I'd assume so.
Bailey McComas
Oh, yeah, I'm sure he does. I mean, golfers, like you said, it motivates him, even though he says, oh, I'm terrible with my irons. We know he's.
Pat McAfee
I.
Bailey McComas
It's all relative. We get it.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, he's terrible in comparison to what he wants to be, you know, which is kind of of the classic competitor thing. I went through a phase of when I was punting, just telling myself terrible things to piss myself off. That's not fun time. It was a lot more. It was a lot better when I was like, let's go bomb this thing, dude. That was a lot more fun. But I think you go through phases of figuring out how to focus in. You know, you got to find little games on how to focus. You could tell the last couple, he was actually gentle for shoot. Actually locked in. Like you could see. Like you could sense, you know, Shane Gillis talking about that sumo wrestling. He was in there. This one feels a little bit more intense. And then they. They did get after it. It was like you could very much sense whenever he was like, hey, I'm gonna actually try to make this thing. And those are all the ones that went to 2, 3ft.
AJ Hawk
Yeah.
Darius Butler
The entire time, I thought this one was rolling back.
AJ Hawk
Yeah, this one had.
Bailey McComas
Yes.
AJ Hawk
Kept coming.
Darius Butler
If the greens had been treated recently.
Boston Connor
Yeah. Thanks a lot, Russell.
Pat McAfee
The spin is unbelievable. Him and Bubba, I mean, I'll tell you, I've hit a thousand golf balls back there. All of mine bounced 10 yards into the air. I don't Know how they actually do that?
Darius Butler
You got hit down, boy.
Pat McAfee
No, guys. I don't know if you've ever gone before.
Darius Butler
You gotta hit ball first.
Pat McAfee
Okay. Him starting to pipe him at Bill was awesome.
AJ Hawk
Yeah, that was great. Yeah, that was great.
Boston Connor
Should do that.
Pat McAfee
Bill. If Bill doesn't jump a half an inch. If he jumps two inches instead of, like, eighth of an inch vertical. Sure. When he was holding the camera because he didn't want to drop it. Yeah. This one he0vert. It was, like, right here.
AJ Hawk
Duh.
Pat McAfee
It was literally, like, right there.
AJ Hawk
Got to make that play. Did you imagine, I think, 100 grand breaking his hand? A couple fingers.
Pat McAfee
We will donate to that foundation. It's very cool. I'm happy they're looking out for the future of. Of United States of America.
Boston Connor
Oh, yeah.
Pat McAfee
They need. They got rid of that box through the blue box. Yep. Yes. Do you have that, A.J. obviously, everybody did. It was same thing.
Bailey McComas
Yeah, I think I did, but I actually, surprisingly, I could touch my toes. My hamstrings are not too tight.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. You're number five overall pick. Yeah.
Darius Butler
Shocker.
Bailey McComas
I mean, flexibility is not. It's like a. You're born with certain. Certain parts of that.
Pat McAfee
I know I can't touch my toes. I have to be the only punter, I'd assume in the history of the NFL that touches toes. But, like, I couldn't do it. It never happened. I'm very touched. Like, I'm trying to get loose. Like, my whole life trying to get loose. I made a new coach. They got this brilliant idea. We need to start working on this. We need to start working on this. Get you a little bit more flexible. You got it, coach. Another year goes around. Nope. Then we have those, like, pre, you know, training camp. You do those tests. Gotta hold the stick, do the squat, do the entire thing. Every single year, it's the same thing. We need you to get more flexible. It's like, you got it. What's the plan this year? This is what the plan is going to be. It's like, all right. Yep. I'm gonna stick to it. Never. So I've just never been able to be a flexible person. Never wanted to be a flexible person. And that little blue box bullied me. I mean it. These unathletic little. Okay. These little kids. Yeah. Just sitting down there and they're getting celebrated. It's like, they're out. I'm like, you're not. Let's get a ball. Let's do it. Let's do something. Any of these other Things. We got it. And it was. Was. I felt like that thing did bully me legitimately. It took me out. But I'm happy they're getting back into it. I like that there's a, you know, the NFL tried to play 60 thing.
Boston Connor
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Pat McAfee
Like, there's always like, seemingly a promotion of like, hey, we need you to be active. We need people to remain active. I think, throughout time, you know, and I think we've learned this over the last half decade or so. Doctors have differing opinions on things, and there's different stats that kind of operate against each other on regular basis. And whoever's the most popular doctor normally ends up winning in this entire thing. Every single doctor seemingly says, hey, you need to pump. You need to get your heart pump. You need to. You need to be active.
Bailey McComas
Yeah, you need to move.
Pat McAfee
You need to move. You need to move. You need. It feels like that is just a universally agreed upon thing. So I'm happy whenever there's an effort by government or whatever to try to make that a thing for our entire country, and hopefully it'll work. A lot of powerful names on there. Yeah, a lot of powerful names. A lot of different political aisles, too, I think. Now, granted, there is certainly those who are on Team Trump in there as we were laying it up, but I think they are just trying their best to, like, you know, I appreciate that effort. I do. Now it's the government and they got to work with teachers. And I think teachers really love this particular. Right in that kind of the. Yeah.
Bailey McComas
You're gonna have to really train those teachers to try because I feel like, especially if it's gym from your baseline to get better, like, you gotta. Gotta train them in these certain areas.
Pat McAfee
Teachers, I think, especially in High School.
Darius Butler
Mr. Jack would have been all over.
Pat McAfee
I agree. They care about the kids. I agree. I love the kids.
Bryson DeChambeau
Teachers.
Pat McAfee
And they won't care about who get credit for this particular thing. You know, it won't get into that. That's not really how politics work. That's not how it all goes.
Darius Butler
That's why they.
Pat McAfee
No, agreed. Yeah, agreed.
Darius Butler
That's why they included both sides. Like Nick else is there.
Pat McAfee
I hope. All right. I hope it all works out all right. Be a friend. Tell a friend. So it seems like everybody be on the same page.
Boston Connor
Always are.
Pat McAfee
Yep. And that's what we're about. Oh, yeah.
AJ Hawk
Exactly.
Pat McAfee
Right. Everybody needs to do one. Maybe they should be rowing. Everybody should be rowing in the same direction. That's good fitness. That's full body. Everybody. They should wake up and go into school and everybody should have to get on a road machine and row and say 20 minutes you're doing here. See what we're doing here. We're Jimmy Graham and across the Arctic. That's right. Is he alive?
AJ Hawk
Yeah.
Pat McAfee
Completed it and well, and retired. This one was two feet away. I'm just now seeing it from the close up shot. Yeah.
Bailey McComas
Should have gone in.
Pat McAfee
Oh, yeah, yeah.
AJ Hawk
Stuck.
Pat McAfee
Good shot by Billy. Tried to miss it.
Darius Butler
Good production out there, by the way.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. Well, I mean, I couldn't hear anything. You guys couldn't hear us either.
AJ Hawk
Yeah, not really. We can hear Bryson and boy, the him hitting the golf balls.
Darius Butler
So we couldn't hear your mic, but we could hear the ground mic, so we picked it up that way.
Pat McAfee
Oh, got it. Well, whatever the case, great shots. Way to pull it off. Also, there's a rainstorm, so let's go ahead and make sure we get stream.
Darius Butler
Sounded great.
Pat McAfee
Tech stuff in there. It's great. I. Way to pull it off. Thank you to D. Shambo for coming and hanging out. All right. We'll be back tomorrow. Big day tomorrow. Huge, huge day. Big day tomorrow, AJ Wednesday. Is it Saturday?
Boston Connor
No.
AJ Hawk
Cuz I'm not drinking a Dr. Pepper right now.
Pat McAfee
No, but you.
Bryson DeChambeau
I could.
Pat McAfee
I think you're allowed. I don't know the rules.
Boston Connor
Try it now we go make it Saturday, see if it's.
Darius Butler
Hold on, let me.
Pat McAfee
Oh, it feels like Saturday.
AJ Hawk
Certainly tastes like Saturday.
Darius Butler
Without a doubt.
AJ Hawk
Yeah.
Pat McAfee
Is it?
AJ Hawk
I don't think so. You know what? It. It's Tuesday, I think. Might as well. Might as. Might as well. And you know what? In my mind, it's Saturday.
Pat McAfee
Yeah, it is. Wow.
Bailey McComas
Saturday somewhere.
Pat McAfee
We're talking Saturday. Hey. Hey. Okay. We can.
AJ Hawk
I was gonna say.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. All right. The AI Thing. Just know what these brains know in this particular office. We're about ahead. I think we're about. Probably a month ahead of everybody else.
Boston Connor
Definitely ahead of the curve.
Pat McAfee
I think we're about a month ahead of everybody else.
Ty Schmidt
That's a long time.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. It A.J. yeah. It's wall. The future is here and the future is walled. But the future also kind of awesome. Yeah. Convenience. That's all we're gonna say. Okay. Big football season coming up. Yep. Three weeks from two days from now. NFL game. Oh, yeah. Next. Next weekend. Texas, Ohio State. Yeah.
AJ Hawk
Even before that, you got the Ireland game.
Pat McAfee
Can't stay in Iowa State. Yeah.
Darius Butler
Parma Kitten in Ireland.
Pat McAfee
Yeah.
AJ Hawk
Bit of a snoozer, but that's okay.
Pat McAfee
He's from Iowa. He is Saying that strictly because he hates Iowa State and I guess Kansas State.
AJ Hawk
No, I actually I love coach climbing.
Pat McAfee
He went.
AJ Hawk
He went to my high school. So I'm a big coach climbing guy.
Pat McAfee
So need him.
AJ Hawk
But actually kind of needle Iowa State to win because I'd need that matchup against Iowa to mean a little bit.
Pat McAfee
More because we don't got a lot of big games this year.
AJ Hawk
You know, every game if you're coming to Kenneth is a big game. So you know, it's kind of a tomato tomato.
Pat McAfee
How's your guys schedule? Pretty good. You guys seemingly always have a good schedule. Yeah.
AJ Hawk
I'll tell you what, if they. If Mark Groski does what I fans are expecting him to do, we'll see in the playoffs.
Pat McAfee
Have you heard about Scotty Fox over West Virginia? No.
AJ Hawk
How's he playing?
Pat McAfee
Let's get enrolled out of high school to West Virginia. One of the first kids to ever just enroll out of high school, go to West Virginia. Kid from Ohio, sunshine type here. Ooh, the boys love him. Okay. He is magnetic out there. No, obviously. We got Nico Mozart. Sure. Still doing it. We got Jalen, I believe is his name from Texas A and M. Him and Rich Rod still got his fire. So maybe I wish you play West Virginia this year. I only set it up.
AJ Hawk
Let's do it.
Darius Butler
I think they host iu, Penn State and Oregon. So a lot of big games at.
Pat McAfee
Kidding. Is there going to be game day over there? There's a chance.
AJ Hawk
Certainly chance.
Pat McAfee
Who do you guys play first? You guys got like St. Mary's no.
AJ Hawk
We have very tough UFO Albany squad.
Boston Connor
Wow.
Ty Schmidt
Okay, so N. They rebuilt this off season.
Pat McAfee
They did the U of Al.
Ty Schmidt
Oh yeah.
Boston Connor
Legit.
Pat McAfee
So that's.
AJ Hawk
I cannot believe I was playing them. It's a night game at kick Crazy.
Pat McAfee
Those kids from that ualby.
AJ Hawk
Yeah.
Pat McAfee
Getting to experience an Iowa game at night. What a moment.
AJ Hawk
Yeah.
Darius Butler
And then I will state.
AJ Hawk
And then I will State.
Pat McAfee
Oh, that's week two.
AJ Hawk
Yeah. In Ames.
Boston Connor
Oh.
Pat McAfee
So that would end your season. No, it's not.
AJ Hawk
Conference game also ain't gonna lose that too.
Pat McAfee
But you know, Mark Gronowski might not have it yet.
Boston Connor
Can't lose back to back.
AJ Hawk
Well, I don't know because we were talking about the, you know, Heisman odds. Everyone's you know, sucking off Arch. Rightfully so. He's a Manning. I didn't notice Mark Gronowski up there. And he's the only guy who actually has one of Heisman, albeit an FCS Heisman. But you know, I mean, maybe.
Pat McAfee
Okay.
AJ Hawk
Okay.
Pat McAfee
Hey, look at this.
AJ Hawk
This is great.
Pat McAfee
Find the.
AJ Hawk
Find the deep ball post.
Bailey McComas
Hey, third and four, we got the first down.
AJ Hawk
Find the goddamn deep ball. Find the post.
Pat McAfee
That ball was thrown through a location which is what I fans didn't know existed in college ball for a long time. Gronowski can move. He can spin it. And they're saying he's a leader, ain't he?
AJ Hawk
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Boys love him.
Bailey McComas
Seven on seven either. It's not. Is that not even 11 on 11.
Ty Schmidt
Boys broke the pockets.
Pat McAfee
I mean, that's Ohio State Buckeye over there talking like that.
Bailey McComas
That's a great ball. I respect Iowa. I mean, we got other clips of him throw like you said, show the.
Pat McAfee
Defense what we doing.
AJ Hawk
Thank you.
Pat McAfee
I did. Well, there's more clips.
Ty Schmidt
I haven't seen it.
Boston Connor
No. Yeah.
AJ Hawk
Well, hey, are we practicing? I mean, what. What the are we talking about? Yeah, if that happens week one, I'll be upset. You know, I mean, team install. Sure. He's not ready for the snap.
Pat McAfee
Okay.
AJ Hawk
It's going to happen every.
Pat McAfee
Everyone balls on the ground. No, no, we got balls on the ground. Turnovers before the. Before the play even starts.
AJ Hawk
Oh, no. Hey, if there's one thing I was gonna do this year, they. They typically ain't turning the ball over now. They may go three and out. They may punt.
Pat McAfee
Quite. You guys might throw a football this year.
AJ Hawk
They're going to.
Pat McAfee
Which is what you guys don't normally do.
AJ Hawk
They're going to. Yes.
Pat McAfee
So you know what comes with that a little bit? Oh.
Boston Connor
Oh, geez.
Pat McAfee
That's a clip Zeno just found. I don't know.
Bailey McComas
Practice.
AJ Hawk
I was gonna say. What are we doing?
Pat McAfee
You know, I don't know why Zeno did that. We trying to progress, but, you know, whenever you guys and just do this, it's hard to turn the ball over.
AJ Hawk
It is. Yeah. Well, now listen. We still got guys who can do that as well.

I heard that.
Pat McAfee
I try to call in age. What happened?
Bailey McComas
What happened?
Pat McAfee
I was sitting in Nick Moral in his parents basement. Okay. Like the good old days. We got Marty McGee on TV as we do. Like the good old days. And he says, why don't you call in? Somebody had a great call. I'm like, yeah, this is like the good old. I'm calling in. Takes me 45 times to get through. Like after the 20th time of not being able to get through, like, you know, it's like old school days. I'm like, all right, I gotta get on now. Like, this is. I'm gonna keep doing this. We had nowhere to go for about an hour and a half, so I just kept calling in, finally get through, say I'm Patty from Plum. Just want to talk about my friend's opinion on Arch Manning and where he ranks in the sec. And the guy goes. I forget. The producer guy goes, all right, Patty, I'm. Put you on hold. We'll see if you can.
Boston Connor
I go, all right.
Pat McAfee
Then he puts me on hold. And I sat there. Yeah. Three seconds. Sat on hold.
AJ Hawk
Yep.
Pat McAfee
Inevitably had to hang up, take a shower, go to something. But I was trying my best. Did they ever find out that it was you? I texted Marty when I. I took a screenshot of me being home for like 12 or 13 minutes, and it was about a minute or two before I hung up and I sent it to him. And he saw it at the break. He was like, you're on hold. Call back. I was like, I gotta go. I got to go, man. I was just trying to get in there. It was going to be about you.
Ty Schmidt
I didn't say. I didn't put him. I didn't rank him 6 or 7. I didn't do that.
Pat McAfee
No, I agree.
Ty Schmidt
You just.
Boston Connor
Your ranking of him, though.
Pat McAfee
It seems like the way preseason.
Boston Connor
What?
Ty Schmidt
What does AJ Say about preseason ranking? They don't mean.
Pat McAfee
No matter who they're coming from, Even if they're coming from me.
Ty Schmidt
Exactly.
Pat McAfee
Sure. Let's get to a break. We'll be back tomorrow. Tomorrow's a big day. Huge, huge day.
AJ Hawk
That was a good ball.
Pat McAfee
It was a great ball. That was a little grass I was tracking.
Ty Schmidt
Was a little granasque.
Pat McAfee
A little bit. What's that say? W.V.
AJ Hawk
Let her fly.
Bailey McComas
Yeah.
Pat McAfee
It'S a little flat. Ball is flat. That's tough. Which. Not good for punter. Good for thrower.
AJ Hawk
I was gonna say that was a tight spiral.
Pat McAfee
Yeah. Yeah. But it's turning sideways. When something turned sideways, I. I'm sure some quarterback coach will tell you it's because I wasn't snapping it off enough. I was doing a little bit of laziness.
Boston Connor
Bill Rivers.
Pat McAfee
That ball didn't go in. So I guess tomorrow's gonna suck. But we'll still do a show. Be a friend. Tell Fred something nice about. Change your life. We're in this thing together. Team on me. Team on three. Shout out to D. Shambrough. Yeah.
