S1E28 - Internet Invitational Finale - What Could Have Been の全文書き起こし

know, obviously the one above all is Salim himself. 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:41.120 You got you just gotta be more aware and you gotta know. 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.159 But I we said this on our last episode. 00:02:44.960 --> 00:03:00.560 How could you realistically think that that was you know gonna continue and and be fine if you're Big John and Wit playing those first nine holes and just encouraging him to go further, drink more? 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:05.280 Like you know you you know you have to play another 18 that day. 00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:07.599 He might not know that, but you know it. 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.479 And you know, it's diminishing returns. 00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:17.120 I they I can't remember who said it, but someone was like, you know, Salim, you got us here, you got us here, and truly he did. 00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:25.840 He knocked down some great putts on that first nine to get him to the finale, but damn, I mean, it just came all tumbling down. 00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:34.159 Yeah, and I I didn't totally expect it to be the focal point, focal point of this final round, but it was. 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:44.000 And that's a hard situation when you're the teammates and you want to do everything you can to not mess it up, right? 00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.039 Because he is very much a vibes player. 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:53.919 You don't want him to feel like he's out of place when you got 18 holes left. 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:57.120 So it's a tough situation to try and manage. 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:08.159 Yeah, I think what's crazy is there's a world where this putt that we're watching goes in and he gets on a streak, just feeling so good about himself because it is crazy. 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.080 I think he does vibe off that. 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:15.759 And if he makes that putt right there, which lipped out on one, I don't know. 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:20.480 There is a world where he just that fuels him and they actually go on a run. 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:29.519 I I think I think about that all the time after watching today's episode is like that was so close from being an early epic start for Selim. 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.079 Uh totally agree. 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:37.600 And that you're right, that's all it takes is a little bit of confidence to say, okay, I can do this. 00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:39.920 We got one, we got through one. 00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:43.439 Maybe that that excitement will sober you up a little bit. 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.879 But um, yeah, I I would have liked to see it. 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:57.759 I think it would have been really entertaining, and people would have been kind of turning heads uh throughout the rest of the round, but unfortunately didn't end that way. 00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.839 For red to go up one through one, that would have been huge. 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:03.120 And it was a lip out. 00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:04.079 It's crazy. 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:04.639

Yeah. 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:05.680 Um, all right. 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:08.639 Well, let's talk about some of the other play uh we saw. 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:10.480 Uh we can talk about the red team. 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:15.920 Most of their play was actually off the golf course and in the mental mind of Salem and trying to calm him down. 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:33.279 I I can't imagine how many times they showed wit and and Big John brainstorming of what they need to do next, either giving him a hug or, you know, just fueling whatever was going on with Salem. 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:38.000 Uh how do you think their golf play was today, regardless of that? 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.000 I mean, I thought their golf was pretty good. 00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:44.319 I mean, Big John can just launch it down the center of the fairway. 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.920 Um, really impressed with Witt's approach game. 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:49.040 Very good. 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.680 Um, I'll also say this. 00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:57.040 Aside from the golf, the thing I was most impressed about is that they were never mad. 00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.720 Like, I would be kind of pissed, you know? 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:06.720 Like you're going down this road and you kind of see things falling apart, but they they didn't give up. 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:08.399 They're like, nope, this is our plan. 00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:10.800 We're gonna keep going with it, we're just gonna stick with it. 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.040 They weren't getting all upset. 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:17.120 Um, and they stayed calm, and that's why they were able to hit great shots. 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:19.439 Big John made a couple important putts. 00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:25.920 Um, but more than that, I think Witt played way better than I expected him to. 00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.720 Yeah, no, it it's it's so true. 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:33.439 I think the recovery shots from the places Selim left them in what was tremendous. 00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:35.519 And I think it just comes down to the penalties. 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:40.480 I I think if they weren't taking penalties, I still think it becomes a much closer match. 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:42.240 But it's just the fact that they had to do that. 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:47.279 It wasn't they were being left in bad places, they were also having to take a drop and a penalty. 00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:51.439 Um, I think they deserve all the kudos in the world. 00:06:51.519 --> 00:07:00.480 I think I'm so happy that Big John walked away from this with a whole new lens and life, and he he basically won the tournament without winning it. 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:09.199 And and Wit, you know, I think uh, you know, I think Wit will have a lot more respect than people gave him before this because I can't even imagine how hard that is to do. 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:10.800 And he really was the captain. 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:15.439 He was the one who was telling Big John how to handle this, and I respect it. 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:27.279 Um, but yeah, I mean, I besides the two times that one each that they cracked, I think I think Wit said, no, Selim, it's not a good putt. 00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:38.399 One time, and then I think um I think Big John might have like folded over and just like left it, left Salem behind and and kept going. 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:42.079 But other than that, they did not crack at all. 00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:47.360 No, they they really didn't, and like that's impressive. 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:54.319 And sure, maybe the that was your way of saying, like, this is the only way we we kind of get through this round. 00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:56.800 Um but I thought it paid off. 00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:04.560 Um, so yeah, overall, I will say, I think Salim had three drives with a driver. 00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:06.879 Like, they should have capped it at one. 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:08.560 They should have capped it at one. 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:17.920 So I'm gonna talk about this a little bit differently when we get into the the rest of the show of how you would have handled Salim differently, but you're totally right. 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:23.199 He should have never been able to hit three drivers after that that first one, maybe second one. 00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:25.360 So, yeah, that was crazy. 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:27.759 Um, what do we think of the winning team? 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:29.680 How was their golf today? 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:31.279 Great. 00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:36.080 I mean, Bobby Ray, I also have thoughts about this. 00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:38.480 Like great iron shots. 00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:43.200 And I think the whole thing about, oh, you said you were gonna hit driver is BS. 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:44.080 Like he does it. 00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:46.159 This isn't a course where you need to do that. 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:52.480 Like, there are courses where, yeah, let's just smack the ball and put driver as far as we can. 00:08:52.720 --> 00:09:03.279 But if you can take a three-iron or a two-iron, whatever he's doing, and either getting it on the green or uh getting your approach in on a par five at like a hundred yards, why not? 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:04.080 You know? 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:08.639 Um FP, great putts, great approaches. 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.200 Um are you gonna make me say it? 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:16.879 Remember, he played okay too. 00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:18.399 Yes, he played okay too. 00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:26.399 You know, like he played okay in the sense that he his shots like he got away with them and that they were just down the center. 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:29.519 Where, you know, how they got there or whatever, fine. 00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:31.600 But I think he made a putt in there too. 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:37.600 So it's like, yeah, they they were it was it was wasn't really a fair fight toward the end.

00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:38.240 No. 00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:42.720 Um, and like I said, it just was missing that pressure aspect, which I think we all love. 00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:48.559 Uh Dave was getting so pissed at the end that that everyone was cheering for each other. 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:58.159 And it's it's a funny thing because he himself, by like hole nine, admitted this thing was over, like completely over. 00:09:58.320 --> 00:09:59.840 No shot of it being a contest. 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:06.399 He was telling people this, and then he gets mad that people aren't treating it like a contest on on hole 13. 00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:07.840 It makes no sense to me. 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:17.840 I you knew it was over, everyone's acting like it's over, everyone's just trying to make each other not freaking cry that red, you know, lost this in a tragic way due to one person. 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:21.679 Um, so he's just kind of backwards, but um, I appreciate that. 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.480 That's that's his style, that's just what he does. 00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:29.200 And like he he was doing exactly what he wanted to in whatever moment. 00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:33.759 Um, I also loved when like Selim wanted to hug him. 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:36.799 He's like, no, I don't, I don't like contact. 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.679 Someone is gonna edit this video and give us a Selim hug counter. 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:46.639 And if I had to ballpark it, it's it's truly in the 40s or 50. 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:48.639 I'd probably put it in the 50s. 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:50.559 I'd yeah, I'd even go higher. 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.360 Like it felt like it was a few a hole. 00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:55.360 Um yeah. 00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:56.559 Oh my god. 00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.279 I just love they did a great job of showing everybody else's face, kind of like laughing. 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:05.440 Well, with him, you know, but it yeah, it was a good time. 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:09.279 Ugh, we just were robbed of something special. 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:18.159 Um, and it became the Salima's drunk show, and that's not why we watch, but you know, Sela V, it was a phenomenal overall tournament. 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:28.559 I'm so, you know, I'm so stoked to to to have watched it and then um to know that we're getting one next year, and I I just can't wait again. 00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:29.919 Yeah, same. 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:37.600 I think also I'm kind of struggling with the fact that I think I watched what 15 or 16 hours of a golf tournament. 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:39.279 Like that's a lot. 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:41.360 Yeah, that is a lot. 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:43.440 Um well, good. 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.000 Let's um I I want to kind of treat this. 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:52.159 I'm calling it, you know, you and I are both problem solvers, and I'm calling this the problem solving episode. 00:11:52.240 --> 00:12:00.000 And there was quite

a few problems to tackle uh for this tournament, but also in future tournaments to come, invitationals to come. 00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:01.759 First one, let's talk about it. 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:04.960 We've talked about it enough already, but let's solve some actual problems. 00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.200 How would have you handled the dream scenario differently? 00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:11.600 It's a good question. 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:16.080 Um I thought their initial approach was very good. 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:27.200 I think them saying, you know what, let's let him kind of take the lead and we'll just hype him up and follow him, you know, to a certain point. 00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:39.840 But I think Salim, you know, is a good enough guy to when somebody said, if Wit had came up to him and said, like, hey, we gotta lock in now, like we're not messing around. 00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:52.080 Um I wonder if he would have uh calmed down a little bit or like maybe, you know, yeah, calmed down a little bit that allowed him to play like he was before. 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:59.120 So I think they maybe let him a little too loose, but what do you do in the moment? 00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:02.639 I think that that there was the best they could have done with the information they had. 00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:03.759 What do you think? 00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:18.799 Yeah, I think it's a real problem because I think Kyle um kind of outlined it perfectly for everyone, which is if he starts truly sobering up, like if he's on the decline of that, he's gonna feel his most sad. 00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:21.600 And like Salim is not good when he's sad. 00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:26.559 And you could tell everything, every little remark someone gave him, someone laughed. 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:30.080 Oh my gosh, it his face just drained. 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:37.759 He he like all of a sudden sobers up and just knows he's making he's being the fool in that scenario is crazy. 00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:40.480 I I feel actually really bad watching that. 00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:44.960 Um, but so yeah, I think keeping the vibes is high. 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:50.720 The one thing I will say, we watched it just right there in that clip, which is driver. 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:54.480 If I were them, here's what I would have done. 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:59.279 I would have taken the driver out of his bag when he's not looking and thrown it in the woods. 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:01.039 Deep, deep in the woods. 00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:04.559 And I would have said, Salim, I think you left it on the last T. 00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:06.000 And that would have been it. 00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:12.240 It wouldn't have had this embarrassment of, hey, I threw your driver in the woods, or you're not hitting driver, you're not allowed to hit driver. 00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:25.519 I would have just said, Salim, I think you left it on the last T and just gone on with business because the one time he pulled four iron out of the bag or three iron out of the bag, great shot up the middle. 00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:26.720 That's all they needed. 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:29.200 That's all they needed the whole time. 00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:33.039 He was teeing that thing way too in front of his stance. 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:38.639 He was hooking it left every single time, like Kiz said, all he needed to do was take an iron. 00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:42.559 He was still, his tempo was great, his grip was everything was great. 00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:47.519 He was just hooking his driver left like nobody's business, and a couple hard putts. 00:14:47.759 --> 00:15:01.679 But that's another thing that they did fix during the round is they started giving him, and I think that's a good lesson for everyone, giving him a fictional cup to go hit rather than saying it's this line, it's it's 75% pace, none of that. 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:06.320 This is pretend that this spot that I'm pointing to is your cup. 00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:07.759 And and that honestly did work. 00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:09.360 He didn't putt horrible. 00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:10.399 Yeah. 00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:12.000 No, I I think you're right. 00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:18.559 They they did everything they could with the tools that they had, uh, minus your idea of just chucking the driver. 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:20.399 But I totally agree. 00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:23.519 I think they could have used Kyle, I mean, they did use Kyle a bit. 00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:28.960 I feel like Kyle would probably be the only one I would trust to coach him through anything. 00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:31.200 Kyle at one point was like, let him drink more. 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.759 And I don't drink enough to know that that is like I get it, like hair of the dog. 00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:39.440 When you're that far gone, is that like is that the right method? 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:48.879 I I I can't, I can't say, but that's I mean, I would have actually trusted Kyle because Kyle, out of anyone, has seen Celine like this more than anyone. 00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:52.480 So I probably would have trusted whatever Kyle said. 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:54.399 That's a good point. 00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:56.399 And maybe they should have done that. 00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:02.080 But I was glad that they put Kyle on the cart because that added a little bit more entertainment to it. 00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:02.720 For sure. 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:04.639 Also, just probably safer. 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:05.519 For sure. 00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:06.639 Yeah. 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:14.080 God, getting a DD for a golf match for$1.3 million, that's that's crazy. 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:15.200 It's so good. 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:19.759 I'm telling you, man, sponsored by easy go is the the biggest missed opportunity. 00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:20.559 Yeah. 00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:21.679 That is true. 00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:22.399 That is true.

00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:25.519 A lot of sponsorship parts available, honestly. 00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:30.720 Um if they want to ramp this up to a$10 million purse, they could they could easily go get that. 00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:40.720 And I think I haven't looked at the metrics on it, but I'm assuming this year's viewership is I would say double last year's. 00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:42.480 I I would guess it's double. 00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:48.639 Um, so by that trajectory, we should have an eight million dollar purse next year. 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:50.480 Uh so we'll see. 00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:52.000 You heard it here first. 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:52.960 I know. 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:56.480 Uh that we'll save some of those for more of the prediction stuffs. 00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:03.440 But if we I mean, yeah, uh, we don't have much to add because it was an unsolvable problem, to be honest. 00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:03.919 Yeah. 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:06.640 Um, we all knew it going into the episode. 00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:09.200 It's not a hugs, man. 00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:13.599 Uh, and and it probably was written in the stars a long time ago. 00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:22.079 But let's let's move on to our next problem we have to solve, which goes back a an episode, which is the Duke situation. 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:28.160 And it's been all over Twitter and you know, everywhere of, you know, don't invite the Duke back. 00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:34.559 I feel bad for him, but also at the same time, he needs some self-reflection of like, yeah, it's probably not my tournament. 00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:36.400 I I got two shots at it. 00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:43.759 Um regardless of Duke, how do we solve the really, really bad golfers? 00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:56.720 And there's a tier, and I don't want to say who's the tier is is in, but for the really bad golfers, how do you gate it so that they can't make it into the finals? 00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:59.839 Like the and I'm calling the finals like the last day. 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:05.680 I think part of the early part is so exciting, and having them in there is great. 00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:10.240 And it there is just so much randomness to who makes it through the first day. 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:11.119 That's fine. 00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:16.000 Let them get through that, but how do we kind of weed that out going into the finals? 00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:26.400 Yeah, you know, it it's a tough question because I don't want to move toward all right, we just want the best golfers in the tournament. 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:29.759 Like, that's you know, not not the whole point here. 00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:36.400 Um also because the the less skilled golfers can have their moments still. 00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:40.240 Like I can't I mean Selim. 00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:41.759 Take Selim, for example. 00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:48.000 In the last episode, he was just crushing it and he was playing amazing golf for his level. 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:51.440 Um, that maybe he doesn't play like that all the time. 00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:55.440 So maybe we need to have a baseline. 00:18:55.680 --> 00:19:03.039 A baseline of you need to have a handicap of X, which I said this to you a while ago. 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:05.680 I would love, and I know nobody's gonna do it. 00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:10.799 I would love everybody to actually track their U USGA handicap. 00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:11.920 Like, why not? 00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:12.559 You know? 00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:15.680 Yeah, sign up for the grint, pay the hundred bucks a year. 00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:16.559 Just just tracking. 00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:19.359 We know exactly where we're at. 00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:20.319 Yeah. 00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:21.359 Yeah. 00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:25.359 It it's crazy how how many came to this tournament without a handicap. 00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:28.400 Even decent players, like I'm not even talking the bottom. 00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:33.039 Um like the fact that Bobby doesn't have a handicap. 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.519 I get that he's doing long drive contests and that's his thing. 00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:42.240 But dude, I know you're playing five to ten rounds a year. 00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:43.119 Don't give me that. 00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:45.359 Uh you know, you just type in your handicap. 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:54.799 Um, so I remember when I was a kid, after the round, you'd go on into the Pro Shop on the kiosk and type in your number, enter your score. 00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:56.160 Now you could just do it on your phone. 00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:57.279 Just do it on your phone. 00:19:57.680 --> 00:19:59.599 You can take a picture of your scorecard. 00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:01.039 Um done. 00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:03.599 So yeah, it's uh what do you think? 00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:04.960 There's there's no excuse. 00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:06.720 I have a different approach. 00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:08.960 I think they almost had it correct. 00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:27.279 So the one thing I would do if I were trying to weed out some of the bad golfers going into the final day or final um round, you know when they did the knockout round, when they had four sixteen left and they had four teams, I don't think they should have done it by team. 00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:40.480 What I think they should have done is they should have had four tiers of golfer and spent a little more time and done knockout, which is a phenomenal format, done knockout with each of those tiers. 00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:44.559 So that top tier of player, three move on. 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:58.000 That next tier, three move on, and then you have eventually that fourth tier, which is you know, the Duke, Salim, Bobby Ray, and um, I mean it was Gagey, I think. 00:20:58.160 --> 00:21:01.759 Um, you make them play knockout and the top three advance. 00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:17.759 So you if you do have like a random outlier

like a Duke or a Salim on the very last 18, something like that happening, at least they'll probably get knocked out and and they won't advance. 00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:26.240 So um it would take probably another episode, another episode just for that, but I think that's a cool format to do. 00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:34.799 And I think it would be a great way to solve the kind of we don't want to have like just a horrible golfer in the finals. 00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:37.200 I think that's a great idea. 00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:41.200 Um, it still keeps it pretty fair amongst that tier. 00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:44.240 Um yeah, I like that a lot, actually. 00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:45.440 I think that would work well. 00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:46.240 Nice. 00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:46.799 Okay. 00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:49.519 Well, we'll get in Portnoy's ear and let him know. 00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:50.799 Actually, it's not even Portnoy. 00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:54.240 A lot of people can be giving Portnoy a lot of shit about who he invites. 00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:59.759 It's very clear that he is the check writer, he is the sponsor builder, uh, and he's excited to. 00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:04.960 To attend this this invitational, he is not the one running it. 00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:06.720 Um, so yeah. 00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:08.640 I think it's more Bob, too. 00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:09.759 It's a lot of Bob. 00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:12.480 I think it's a lot of Bob influence, and I think it's a lot of foreplay. 00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:16.960 Um, I think that's that's pretty much the directors, and and they're passionate about it. 00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:18.720 They want the best tournament possible. 00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:20.559 Uh, you know, I I love that. 00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:21.680 So good committee. 00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:29.039 Um I mean, and I think when the credits rolled, it was like a bar stool and Bob does sports production. 00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:31.519 Like yeah, you know, shout out to the production. 00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:33.119 It is still next level. 00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:33.920 So good. 00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:45.200 This is a complete aside, but I know Wesley Brian, you know, stirred up a bunch of conference controversy by saying, hey, let's replace the eight worst golfers with you know Scotty Scheffler and and crew. 00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:49.839 Um I would never do that because this is this is what this is meant to be. 00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:52.480 You know, this is what why we watch it. 00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.880 But it does bring up an interesting conversation of bullshit. 00:22:57.039 --> 00:23:05.039 I mean, there was million 20, 20 plus million views in three days, four days of five days of golf. 00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:12.160 Um, I'm pretty sure the PGA on an off week would be very stoked to get that viewership. 00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:31.599 Um, so you're telling me, you're telling me if you took 24 PGA golfers, and maybe they don't have to be the

best of the PGA, and you invited them to big big Creed or Seek Lodge, and and you you did a similar tournament over the course of three days, which they work three or four days, anyways. 00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:35.279 Um telling me if they shot this, people wouldn't watch. 00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:41.599 I definitely would watch that with cart cams, cart cams with with professional golfers? 00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:42.880 Hell yeah. 00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:50.880 I think I think what it is is people don't want to see the top ten players competing against each other. 00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:59.200 They want to see Scotty Scheffler play a scramble with Bob, you know, like that's crazy. 00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:00.480 That would be amazing. 00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:02.559 That that people would watch. 00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:04.160 People do watch that. 00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:06.799 I mean, that's part of that now. 00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:10.640 Given you know, Bob's reach is he does have Scotty Scheffler on his channel. 00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:11.680 You know, it is it's true. 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:13.440 People do love watching that. 00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:14.400 Yeah. 00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:15.519 Good point. 00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:21.920 Anyways, um, all right, so that's a good solution for for the Duke situation. 00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:28.000 Last one, which is kind of tied in, is we were at 48 golfers last year. 00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:30.720 We're at 64 golfers this year. 00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:33.440 I don't think we can let this get out of control. 00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:35.200 We can't be going up in numbers. 00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:40.720 I think 64 is pushing it, and I think that's that's good, but that's enough. 00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:47.039 How do you make room for new people and and how do you keep this tourney growing? 00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:52.559 Um, I want to see some new faces. 00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:59.440 I think every year I would say that half the people should be new every year. 00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:06.160 Like, I have a list of people who I will, and maybe we'll say this later that we don't need to see next year. 00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:09.920 Um, but 64 is too many. 00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:11.200 Here, here's why. 00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:12.720 And maybe this is just me. 00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:20.480 But like this final round when everybody's driving around in the carts and they pan to somebody in a cart, I'm like, who the who is that? 00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:26.160 Like, I didn't even recognize people because I hadn't seen them in since last week's episode, you know? 00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:27.519 Yeah, that's another thing. 00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:28.400 No guests. 00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:32.240 What wh why why did why does Brad Dolkey get a guessed? 00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:34.640 Is that is that what was happening? 00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:35.599 Oh, okay. 00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:39.359 Then yeah, no, that was that was unnecessary. 00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:41.839 We already have 50 carts on the fairway. 00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:42.400 100%. 00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:46.319 Um I say go back down to 48, personally. 00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:47.759 Uh interesting. 00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:51.519 I I I'd be sad because I know we'd be losing so many people. 00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:52.960 That's the only problem. 00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:55.759 I did think of why not a voting system. 00:25:55.839 --> 00:26:00.319 This is all a popularity contest and driven by viewership and interest. 00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:07.200 Why don't you put the 64 up for a fan vote and the bottom 12 don't make it? 00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:09.599 I mean, that's that's fair. 00:26:09.839 --> 00:26:10.799 I think that's fair. 00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:14.960 And I think you know, we could pick 12 that probably wouldn't make it. 00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:17.519 And that I think that's fine. 00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:23.119 Um, it's all about popularity and what brings interest, and people who care about people bring interest. 00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:25.680 So I think that's totally fair for this. 00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:31.359 I think the other thing I thought of, which I don't think would be a possibility, would be to do a play-in. 00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:36.319 So in May or sometime, get 24 golfers, one or two-day tournament. 00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:42.400 I don't know how you would structure it, whether it'd be scramble teams, whatever, but 24 golfers for 12 spots. 00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:43.599 I think it'd be cool. 00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:44.240 I'd watch it. 00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:46.000 There's no chance I wouldn't watch it. 00:26:46.079 --> 00:26:48.799 Um, and it gives them another piece of content. 00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:53.359 Yeah, and I guess it does platform maybe some of the new folks. 00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:58.880 Uh yeah, because that's another thing is we don't have enough time to learn about the new people and care about the new people. 00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:04.000 So it's a great way to get quickly introduced to 12 new golfers in the tournament. 00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:08.559 Well, and even even the 12 that don't make it could be new people that we don't know. 00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:15.039 And like, what a what a launch pad still, just to be in one bar stool or bobda sports video. 00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:19.359 You know, like that's that's a that could be a big deal for somebody still. 00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:20.240 100%. 00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:23.440 All right. 00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:27.920 Well, we've come to the part of the show where let's make some predictions on next year. 00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:29.920 Where do you want to start? 00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:32.319 Who do I want to start? 00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:33.599 Or where do you want to start? 00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:34.240 Where? 00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:35.920 Let's go location. 00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:36.640 Okay. 00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:52.160 I I don't know where, but

I have a feeling they're going to pick a uh more popular, famous golf course. 00:27:53.200 --> 00:28:01.200 I just I just have a feeling that this is done so well that somebody's gonna be like, hey, you guys come here. 00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:12.640 You know, I don't know who it is, I don't know where, but I just have a feeling that a different course is going to want to say, hey, we want to we want our our bite out of this. 00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:16.000 Um come come on over. 00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:25.839 So yeah, it's not saying like a pebble beach necessarily, but like could do you think Bandon would support this? 00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:29.039 Yeah, I don't see why not. 00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:30.240 Yeah, it's a tough one. 00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:30.880 I don't know. 00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:34.160 It's um it's a tough one. 00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:37.759 I I don't know what the traffic is like at at Big Cedar Creek. 00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.279 Like I maybe this is like the perfect thing for them. 00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:47.519 They've always complained how hot it is, so I'm assuming like you know, it's in the heart of July. 00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:50.880 If you go to a hot location, they'll probably get free rain. 00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:53.200 Um, but yeah, I don't know. 00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:54.799 I I I'll say this. 00:28:54.960 --> 00:29:00.480 I would bet more than not that that they're in a different location next year. 00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:02.319 Yeah, I I would. 00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:05.680 I'm I'm gonna do one more just bold prediction. 00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:08.000 I think they're gonna go to Pinehurst. 00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:11.039 There's so many courses. 00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:14.480 There's so many courses that they can choose from. 00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:19.759 Um, they can play different ones, like it just it just makes sense, in my opinion. 00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:20.240 What do you think? 00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:35.279 That would be so cool because Pinehurst comes with a lot of I mean, that would be really cool because now you're exposing a lot of YouTube golf watchers to a really fantastic course with history, and you get to see it from a different angle. 00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:36.400 I would love that. 00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:39.839 I would be so for seeing Pinehurst on here. 00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:42.160 Yeah, that would be so awesome. 00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:43.839 Okay. 00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:47.119 Um I know you got a list. 00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:49.680 Who doesn't make it back next year? 00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:52.960 Okay, probably a pretty easy one. 00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:54.799 I don't think Duke makes it back. 00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:57.839 Um sorry, Duke, you had you had your time. 00:29:58.079 --> 00:29:58.319 Yes. 00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:02.799 Um I don't think Andrew Santino's gonna come. 00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:04.319 Interesting. 00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:07.200 On on his own accord or non-invite? 00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:09.839 I think he's gonna be a non-invite. 00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:22.640 Because he he is very much a very specific personality to be a part of this, and I don't think he was who like they thought he was gonna be this time around. 00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:24.160 Which sucks because I love him. 00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:25.119 I think he's hilarious. 00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:26.640 I would love to see him again. 00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:30.160 Um who else? 00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:36.160 Dang, some of these guys Brian bros come back. 00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:38.160 That see, that's a good question. 00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:43.920 I I think I'm really 50-50 on that. 00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:47.759 Reason being is because they're gonna be focused on their YGT stuff. 00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:52.079 Um secondly, like this isn't their channel, you know? 00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:59.440 So they they have Barstool and Bob have no real loyalty, even though Bob and Wesley are like best buds. 00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:06.000 But they were a very uh insignificant part of this tournament this year. 00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:06.480 Yeah. 00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:13.200 So I mean, honestly, chirping, I I don't think they add much to this, on honestly. 00:31:13.359 --> 00:31:31.359 I I and you know, with the whole few feud that's going on between uh Wesley and and Barstool, I feel like that's what's so tough is Dave, I think got quoted saying he's like the greatest villain. 00:31:31.599 --> 00:31:37.119 Well, Dave could view that as one of two ways, like eh, we're not gonna need him, or oh, we need him. 00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:39.200 So it's it's tough. 00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:40.880 Um, so we'll see. 00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:41.839 We'll see what happens. 00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:46.319 If I had to bet on whether they return or not, I would probably say they don't. 00:31:46.640 --> 00:31:52.160 I I can't tell if that's non-invite or they don't want to come, um, but I'd say they don't. 00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:55.920 All right, let's see. 00:31:56.240 --> 00:32:00.960 Um who's a person you definitely got returning? 00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:04.319 The winners for sure. 00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:05.359 Obviously. 00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:11.119 Um here's who here's who I I know will return. 00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:13.279 Uh all the Bob to sports guys. 00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:14.079 Yeah. 00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:15.039 Obviously. 00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:18.559 But also because I think people want to see them go a little bit further. 00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:24.319 We don't want to see Jet and Joey crash out and have to walk off after the fifth hole. 00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:27.920 Um, so yeah, who else coming back? 00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:30.480 I think John Gruden should come back. 00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:33.440 Uh yeah, third round with Gruden would be great, man. 00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:36.640 Yeah, I thought I thought he was awesome still. 00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:41.599 Um Salim's probably gonna come back

because of how this ended. 00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:42.880 Who is he? 00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:45.599 Oh my gosh, that would be so controversial. 00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:48.720 I I know, but I think that's why they're gonna do it. 00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:52.880 Holy cow, I haven't even given that a possibility of a thought. 00:32:53.039 --> 00:33:00.319 Uh really that I mean you're totally right, but it just it's given what we just saw today, that's unfathomable in the moment. 00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:11.279 I think I kind of see it as the same way as like Luke Kwan was kind of the you know, the the spectacle last year, and they brought him back to kind of redeem himself, they're probably gonna do the same. 00:33:11.519 --> 00:33:14.400 And then yeah, they'll do the same with him. 00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:19.119 But the last person that I I know they're gonna bring bring back is Big John. 00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:22.799 Like it's just he he was the star of the whole thing, you know. 00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:24.240 So for sure. 00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:29.279 Yeah, but I I would love to see a little more from like Mason Nutt. 00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:31.839 Uh who else?
