TV Classics, Mythical Creatures, and Sports Talk
What if the sitcoms of our childhood could transport us back to a time when laughs were guaranteed and Saturday mornings were sacred? Join us as we broadcast from the quirky setting of ForeU Golf's Pro Shop, where the scent of nostalgia is as strong as freshly cut grass. We reminisce about classics like "Looney Tunes," "Family Matters," and "Home Improvement," while pondering the charm that’s missing in today’s shows. Our banter takes a turn toward the unknown as we dissect alien conspiracy theories and the enduring legend of Bigfoot, asking why these myths persist in a world dominated by AI and fake news.
With a shift that mirrors the unpredictability of a college football season, our discussion examines the highs and lows of sports rankings and the intricacies of coaching. Critiques fly as we tackle the college football playoff system and the curious case of Army's playoff hopes. We unpack the impact of NIL deals, likening them to job perks beyond a mere paycheck. Personal tales of youth basketball coaching emerge, revealing the dedication and adaptability needed to nurture budding athletes amidst limited resources and gym time.
The final stretch of our episode tees off with talk about the innovative indoor golf league that's making waves, promising a vibrant, stadium-style presentation that might just lure in the younger crowd. We fantasize about Tiger Woods joining the senior tour and speculate on his son Charlie's potential future in the sport. As our conversation winds down, a playful recount of a ping pong table mishap gives way to a light-hearted debate over whether a ping pong table or a golf simulator should take precedence at home. We wrap up with musings on the joys of golf and our eclectic range of interests, inviting listeners to share in the camaraderie and curiosity that fuels our podcast.
welcome back everybody. To not amused again for those that you don't know, I am tyler here with david and we're back for another week.
Speaker 2:We are back, hey. This time we are recording in 4U Golf's Pro Shop.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's definitely a different setup. I didn't know how to put things anywhere today. I feel very lost. My mic feels weird. I don't know what to do with my hands.
Speaker 2:I know I kind of feel like I'm just, like like I can't move, I'm just stuck here Like this is where the mic is. This is where my chair is at now. It doesn't feel right.
Speaker 1:I mean we'll get used to it because obviously we're going to definitely do some here. It's a much shorter drive for me so I do like, Well, it's a longer drive for me.
Speaker 2:Well yeah, because you didn't have to drive at all. That's how that's started.
Speaker 1:Speaking of that, though, it just made me think of this when I said we're back. Do you remember that movie Cartoon from my childhood? We're back about dinosaurs and they're in the city.
Speaker 2:I've never seen that and I'm a little older than you, so you would think I would know it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because I can always remember. This dinosaur is like a T-Rex.
Speaker 2:And when he smells like meat.
Speaker 1:He goes into that like carnal, like it's a like a oh, it's a cartoon animated. Oh yeah, oh okay, yeah, no like at one point like he's like sniffing hot dogs and like literally like sniffing them in his nostrils. I'm like man. I want my kids to watch that like it's just one of those.
Speaker 2:It's funny how you go back and and like one of my favorites growing up was the roadrunner and so I go back and play that for the wild coyote, I mean yes, I mean my kids.
Speaker 1:They've watched looney tunes. They've watched some of the old stuff that was, you know, even pre me. Yeah, but some of it can't air now no no I saw one the other day.
Speaker 2:Some of the jokes and stuff they have. Yeah, it's not that they were bad, it's just you know they were. They were 90s and 80s jokes, exactly yeah um, but yeah, there's.
Speaker 1:There's a few things that my kids have gone back and watched, and you can definitely tell some of it. They are not into whatsoever. They're sitting there like Dad. Why did you watch this?
Speaker 2:stuff. There's even stuff that I remember was cool when I go back and look at it and it looks awful, it looks cool, it looks so dated.
Speaker 1:It's just so bad.
Speaker 2:So we do that with uh, with my, my daughter the oldest, uh, we get into some of the 90s sitcoms and and even yeah, you know ladies, we watched uh family matters with her home improvement oh, home improvement, you know some of those we're almost done home improvement and we kind of we watch it not every night but a few times a week, or a couple times a week we try to watch a show before she goes to bed, or something like that so what was your, your other go-tos?
Speaker 1:Because, obviously, family Matters and Home Improvement. Those are two that we watched in my household like crazy, like we loved those shows.
Speaker 2:Well, there was eras of different stuff.
Speaker 1:I mean, you know, TGI Friday was one of the big things you couldn't wait for ABC.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and so I mean I remember Step by Step one time on that same area of rotated some different stuff around, but uh, those are the two biggest ones for me. The sitcoms, and it's crazy, I love sitcoms, especially funny sitcoms. I find myself trying to find them now.
Speaker 1:They're not like they used to be I feel like I did when I was younger, but I can't really get into sitcoms the same way now.
Speaker 2:Um I've got a couple that I watch now. Some of the because it's.
Speaker 1:It's some of the like live studio audience stuff today. It just doesn't feel the same. It feels very manufactured and kind of just off like all the laughs feel like it's just coming from a computer and not actually from. Yeah, I get that, so it is definitely a little different yeah um, and the feel of the shows are way different.
Speaker 2:The jokes are obviously are different, things like that oh gosh yeah you know, right now I found myself watching um the neighborhood. Some new one just came out called papa's house I got it because it came on right after um, I guess it's the new neighborhood that just started and it's got uh, one of the wayne's brothers and his son and I'm trying to figure it out.
Speaker 1:I don't know if I think amanda's watched that a few times. I remember seeing him because as soon as I saw him I'm like man, he looks, he looks old, which I mean obviously he is, he's older, and he's supposed to look old for the show too, but he is older than what I remember him as a kid and they're with him and his son.
Speaker 2:Is you know our age or something?
Speaker 1:I can't see him and not remember. Major Payne oh, I forgot about Major Payne. That's where my mind goes to with Major Payne, and just there's so many I think of like when I think of the wayans.
Speaker 2:I think of the show the wayans the wayans brothers brothers yep, and then the um, the other sitcom that oh gosh get rid of, uh, my wife and kids. I know what it was.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he was in my wife and kids. See, I didn't watch the wayans brothers much yeah, I didn't a whole lot, but that. That's the old school show for sure but even then like sitcom style, like martin and hanging with with Mr Cooper oh, I forgot about Hanging with Mr Cooper, that was great, but then even like the old Saved by the Bell and Full House and all of that stuff was watched. So so much.
Speaker 2:I don't think we've watched Full House yet, but my wife and daughter watched all of the Fuller House. Yeah, the new one.
Speaker 1:I don't think I ever finished any of that. I didn't either. I watched a little bit of it just because it was, you know, nostalgic obviously. But I didn't, I didn't really, just it didn't have the same feel and you, you remember it as a certain thing and it doesn't give you that same memory.
Speaker 2:It's hard to be in it. Well, it's a modern version and it's just not the same that we remember. That's very true. That's very true. I didn't know he was gonna talk about this tonight, but here we go.
Speaker 1:I mean again, who knows in what direction we're gonna go start, finish. I mean last week we literally talked about aliens that's true and speaking of that sorry, this is kind of a horrible segue 96 aliens. Yeah, so I actually talked about a clip from last week and I actually saw the the clip of what I was talking about over. This is the ufo coming out the ocean, the ufo going into it.
Speaker 2:I'm going into the ocean so maybe I was talking about over this weekend the ufo coming out, the ocean, the ufo going into it. I'm going into the ocean, so maybe it was crashing, maybe it wasn't actually going in.
Speaker 1:No. So like I watched it and it like very clearly, whatever this is like you can't tell it's ufo, it's a bright light, comes from the sky, drops down beneath the water because you can still see it illuminating and just kind of hangs out there. Now I'm gonna throw this out there. I don't really have a stance on aliens or any of that.
Speaker 1:I don't yeah, I don't that's not a very important thing to my life, um, so I don't really think about that much. I mean, I think more about paying my bills and right what I'm gonna eat.
Speaker 2:I mean, I've never seen one. They don't affect me, right, they're there. If they're not there, um, I always wonder, if I saw one would you even know what you're looking at well, probably not. But but like some people like, oh, I want to see an alien, that'd be so cool. Would it be cool or be scary? Like I don't know which way I'd go well, maybe that's what they look like.
Speaker 1:This is a conversation I listened to friday in a different podcast that I listened to, and they said see, I had no idea. I'm connecting dots I know, so they if what's more terrifying to run into an alien or Bigfoot.
Speaker 2:I don't have an answer for that Cause, right which?
Speaker 1:again, neither I don't really have, I don't really believe in either of those people.
Speaker 2:And I actually knew somebody who went in like on Bigfoot hunts and like they went actually like searching for him. Yes, yeah, I mean it wasn't like a good friend, but I knew of the person and had talked to him and like when I remember them, they were doing some work at my house once and they were going like traveling a couple of states over the next week or something to go hunt Bigfoot I do feel like I remember that story at one point because it was one of those.
Speaker 1:just hey, you got to hear this because this is are on it Like it's obviously there's money behind it.
Speaker 2:Who am I to say no, it doesn't exist, I haven't seen it so kind of the argument that I've always heard about.
Speaker 1:There's no way there's a Bigfoot in the area that we currently live in, because look at the thousands upon thousands, upon thousands of hunters that are in the woods every year and there's not one mounter on a wall yet. Well, you would think so, like you would think. Now there's. There's the other side of people that say their senses are so heightened, they're this, they're this that they, you know well, and even with all the hunters, I'm sure there's thousands of acreage that we still don't go to sure, of course, of course, you know it's so deep in the forest and you know right he's like, especially in some of these mountains around here.
Speaker 1:But yeah, and again, I don't really have a a thought on those as if, like, they really are real, because it'd be cool if they were, but it doesn't really matter to me if they are like it's not, it's not important to me.
Speaker 1:No, I'm now that stuff is interesting because, like some of those shows are just kind of fun to watch something different for a change. But yeah, so kind of back to the that alien story. Like I watched it and I'm like there's, I don't know what it is. Obviously I have no clue what it is, but to immediately make my brain make a connection that's an alien is really really hard. It is where the people on the show it's like an immediate that's, there's only one thing that could be and it's an alien.
Speaker 2:I'm like well, I always worry about videos because they can be doctored, especially true today's world with ai and all the different things you can do you have?
Speaker 1:you have all these companies. They're like we, we check the video and it's obviously not doctored well how much they pay. Exactly like it's it's hard to trust that and obviously that's something that's been kind of put on to us from every different direction, whether it's media, government, whatever like it's. You don't know who to trust or what to trust.
Speaker 2:Well, that's I'm not big on conspiracy theories.
Speaker 1:To the extent of a lot of people are I love them.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean, they're interesting, but as far as believing any of those, there's conspiracy theories about everything, whether it's whether every situation has even the, you know, flat earthers and things like that, every, every situation has one, the only thing that I kind of think some truth to, and it's because I can build my own opinion on this, and that's why I don't believe a lot of conspiracy theories, because I don't have enough information to really build a yes or no kind of thing.
Speaker 1:So ones like that to me are interesting, but I don't really have an opinion, the only one that I found.
Speaker 2:My own opinion is if we landed on the moon or not, controversial it's very controversial, controversial and over the years I've kind of come to the conclusion if we landed on the moon, we could go back by now and that's the one factor that has me going I don't think we did so, my, my argument and I and I've kind of, over the years, have have started to look at this in both directions, because there, for a while, I was just kind of like no, there's no way, there's no way we did.
Speaker 1:and the reason why is it's like well, they said, we don't go back cause we learned everything we need to learn. Okay, then why are we still doing digs in certain places? Why are we still doing research on things that we've been researching for 50 years. Yeah, there's no way we went a couple of times and have all the information we need.
Speaker 2:It's, yeah, it just blows my mind because if we went there was it the 60s.
Speaker 1:I think they say it was right we would go back now. Sorry, my teachers are probably hitting me. I know, like you should know, when we did this. I know, I believe it or not, we beat this.
Speaker 2:You should know when they filmed this video and you know. But uh, I just feel like by now we'd be like yeah, we're gonna go, just to show you.
Speaker 1:We went like so to prove to you so kind of on that same line of like. You hear astronauts and you hear some of these guys talk about what's called the van allen belts, just outside of our atmosphere, it's like it's this, these bands of radiation, that we cannot get through safely. Well then, how did we do it in the 60s?
Speaker 2:but we can't do it and we have way more technology now I mean look so elon musk's group was doing over at spacex right they're doing.
Speaker 1:I mean, if we could get to the moon, they'd already be there, but really, like when we talk about the space station, it's not actually in space, it is on the edge of the atmosphere it's not actually in it.
Speaker 1:So that's a whole other weird thing. That took me forever to understand that. But they say, well, we lost the technology. And so, looking at it, you know, devil's advocate, okay, maybe we did lose technology because when you look at how things were built, you know in the times before any kind of technology that we know of any modern technology. You start talking pyramids. You start talking, you know mind civilizations and some of the stuff they built. You're like, okay, how did they build that, like.
Speaker 2:That's some of those incredible theories that, yeah, and there's, I don't really have a way, one way or the other, because I don't there's a time that follows that.
Speaker 1:But it's kind of like okay, how did we build stuff to that magnitude, things that were that big and things that were just like that like impressively carved out, whatever, whatever it may be.
Speaker 2:And then when we build stuff now, it's like we're putting a couple pieces of wood together, throwing crap on like it's just not the same cheap now but what's unique to me with the moon too, though, is you got spacex talking about we're going to send people to mars, and we're going to be in mars in some years. Yeah, why are they passing up the moon, like, if you can take people?
Speaker 1:somewhere.
Speaker 2:So we've learned everything we need to learn there yeah, but wouldn't it be a cool experience for just to take people there?
Speaker 1:if you're going to take people, that's like a commercial flight to the moon, you just kind of go.
Speaker 2:Well, that's what they're saying they want to do at mars. That's true. So why like something weird? Why are we passing up the moon?
Speaker 1:well, but isn't. Isn't elon's thought on that, though? Like he wants to eventually like colonize? Oh, he would like to. Yes, like which? Again, I don't believe that's our purpose in life to go colonize other planets. I believe there's plenty of things that we're told we need to be doing here. Yeah, so that that's uh, that's a whole different argument, but at the same time, it's like okay, why mars? Why couldn't you colonize the moon easier than you could colonize mars?
Speaker 2:well there. Maybe there's more resources that they can use on mars and the moon, but still, I think the first step let's go back there. Let's go to mars on a regular I'm sorry, to the moon on a regular basis, and then we'll keep stretching out to mars, like why it's a much shorter thing with it flight.
Speaker 1:Yes, I mean. Obviously it's much, much closer than than the next closest planet.
Speaker 2:You know, if elon comes to me and says, hey, free trip to mars, you want to go, can you even get to the moon? Yet? Because if you can't even get to the moon, I ain't getting on something that you think we're going to mars I don't know that I have any desire to be in space.
Speaker 2:Um, that's like that's a whole other thought, like I don't either that's a lonely, just dead area like there's nothing, I mean yeah, I have no desire for there um, but then there's also the side of the conspiracies that go.
Speaker 1:Really there is nothing like you saw. Who was it recently? Um, I can't remember as an athlete that was saying mars isn't real, it's just a light well that, yes, those are the conspiracies here we go, like you.
Speaker 2:Just, you're just extending something else yeah, well, I mean, pluto was a planet once and now it's a.
Speaker 1:I still recognize it, my childhood, pluto was there and then it went to well, pluto's not real, it's this, it's just, it's just trash. It's just this piece of trash out there. And then it became dwarf planet and I'm like pluto. Yeah, pluto is absolutely to me. I still recognize it I don't know what changed, but anyway the criteria yeah, we got way off on some stuff we did, but again that we could go anywhere, and that's the fun part about it yep, it's.
Speaker 2:It's going to be a journey. Whether it's a good journey or not, it's still to be decided, but you're going to be on a journey.
Speaker 1:Listen, not all journeys are rainbows and butterflies. Some are going to be through the mud and through the stick and all the mess.
Speaker 2:So we'll get on to something with a little bit of substance. Sure, the thing we've kind of followed lately is college football playoff, and finally we thing we've kind of followed lately is college football playoff and yeah, finally we have a bracket.
Speaker 1:That means something I didn't care about the others. You've talked about it for a few weeks that you just didn't really care about. Not that you didn't care, but it's just. What's the point?
Speaker 2:but I think that's what caused controversy when this final bracket came out. Sure, was the brackets leading up to this? Sure? If you don't have any of those and you just come to a bracket out, okay, fine, tell us why, whatever.
Speaker 1:If they didn't have, in your opinion, if they didn't have a bracket out prior, does Alabama make it in? If it's kind of like you can just kind of slide them in because there was nothing really keeping them but over like the last one, obviously they were kind of on the edge. But then with Clemson beating SMU, which we talked about last week was kind of the throw a wrench and everything to get two ACC teams in that's a tough question because I understand that could go either way and I don't know that I could get mad either way.
Speaker 2:they've done it. You know, on one hand, if Alabama got in, everybody's going to say, well, it's just because of the name.
Speaker 1:It's because it's Bama.
Speaker 2:If SMU gets in. Well, I mean, I guess you could say the flip side of that they leave Bama out just because it's Bama and you know they want to see something different. I don't know, I guess I don't have a problem with it a whole lot either way. I liked I think it was Nick Saban, which he's biased, oh, of course Made the comment. You know SMU probably should have been around 12th and you're out, right, but where they had them at eight and then they play that big sort of game?
Speaker 2:you can't really drop them all the way out yeah, I agree with that. I don't know whether that's the way it should have been or not, but I think the biggest thing is we're going to change the playoffs next year, the way it's bracketed.
Speaker 1:I think everybody talks the way that I'm hearing everything right now. I don't see how we do it the same way. So what I will ask is, now that we know our 12, two things To you does anything really surprise you, other than maybe the SMU Alabama pick and two out of your first round? What is the game that you are most excited about as just a football fan? Oh gee, that's a little throwing you on the spot. The first round, so first round just to clarify.
Speaker 1:Clarify for everybody. You have clemson traveling to texas, tennessee traveling to ohio state, smu traveling to penn state and indiana to notre dame well, I thought it was the other day.
Speaker 2:I wish texas had to come to clemson because it's just down the road. We'd go, we'd be going to that game we'd definitely go into that.
Speaker 1:Um yeah, none of these games are close to us, so it's it's a much bigger trip if we're going to try to make one.
Speaker 2:I mean we're going to say this prior episode we're Buckeyes fans. So I want it to be known that I'm a little biased, but that game is interesting to me in the sense of I think Ohio State is not as good this year as it had been some years in the past, but I'm curious to see a pretty top-tier Big Ten school against an sec school who's pretty high up there so see what it's like the biggest problem I have with ohio state playing tennessee.
Speaker 1:First you win, you go play oregon.
Speaker 2:So if ohio state wins.
Speaker 1:It's like all right.
Speaker 2:Now we're going to play another conference game, and that's boring but either tennessee shouldn't have to go play oregon either the way it's seated is I don't love at all well.
Speaker 1:So here here's my thought on it. I I'm hoping that next year we see the change of nobody's getting an automatic, like the fact that arizona state is getting a buy nothing against arizona state, because they they came on really strong at the end of the year.
Speaker 2:They looked really good in that game the other day, but again, it's iowa state.
Speaker 1:Yes, who who is either of those team played all year I love their uh running back's name Scataboo. Yeah, and he's a great running back. He's claiming to be the best in the country. I haven't got to watch him much.
Speaker 2:He's good, but again it's. Who is he playing against?
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I'm hoping that we see next year and I actually saw a graphic today a guy was talking about should we go back to the BCS standings? Because they take strength of schedule, they take records, they take all these 12 different metrics and throw them in I wouldn't hate giving it a try, because what we did this year didn't work. So I've got it pulled up and if you went 1 through 12, you actually would have Clemson missing out. Even after winning, they made it to 13.
Speaker 2:But who did they beat to even get to their conference championship is the question.
Speaker 1:They've lost to Louisville. That's my point.
Speaker 2:I don't know what their big win they're holding their hat on other than SMU. The comment that stuck with me the most that I've heard is even to go win your conference. You play different schools. So, for instance, clemson and Miami had different schedules. So just because you went to your conference, just because you won your conference, doesn't mean you played as good of games as the team that didn't make it Correct.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean we've kind of seen that a little bit Again. Oregon ended up winning the Big Ten. Congrats to them. First year in it and they come out and win it. That's awesome. But out of the conference games that they got, they didn't get it as difficult as some of the other teams. They didn't have Indiana and Penn State on their schedule, which was two of the bigger teams. Obviously they beat Penn State in the championship. That's a whole different game. Regular season it's going to be played very differently. I do have the top 12 of what they would say was the BCS rankings. They kind of figured it out. You had Oregon, georgia, Notre Dame, texas. That'd be the four getting the bye Based off of points. That was your top four.
Speaker 2:The Texas one is hard for me because, again, I don't know who they've played.
Speaker 1:But out of who they've played, they've only lost to Georgia twice. Second game was much better than the first one it was. First game was not much fun to watch. It was kind of just georgia trounced them. This one, texas put up a better fight, but georgia, still georgia. They know how to win big games. Yep, they really do, I think. Um. And then after that it's ohio state, penn state, tennessee, indiana, boise state, arizona state, alabama, smu oh, so it had arizona state and smun yes, it did.
Speaker 1:Now were lower seeds, so that was when we'd get in a bye. So 10-7, you'd have had Arizona State playing Tennessee.
Speaker 2:I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1:I mean I'd have been really okay with that. Ohio State would have been the five playing SMU at the 12. Like you had some really good mixture of games.
Speaker 2:So they basically leave Clemson out and put Alabama in Cle.
Speaker 1:Clemson was 13th, even after winning the ACC. Yeah, basically saying that, good for you. You won your conference, that's awesome, but you didn't do enough the rest of the year. Yeah, like it's making the whole year better.
Speaker 2:I would be okay with that and then seed them based on those rankings.
Speaker 1:Listen to what you're saying, though, too, because we've had this discussion, I know it. We've all done it, like when the BCS was there, because it was only two. That was a hard part.
Speaker 2:That was a hard part. What we've said forever is give us more teams. I never once said change the whole way you grade the teams and come up with rankings. I just want more.
Speaker 1:In my opinion, the way that we are doing it this year is way too a bunch of guys watching games and making an opinion, and it's really hard to leave out what you think about certain teams.
Speaker 2:It is, it's just as a fan, because everybody in that room okay. So the chair of the committee is ad for michigan.
Speaker 1:He's a michigan guy yes, so that's gonna play a role whether you want to or not, whether he says it is or not, it's going, it's in the back of his mind.
Speaker 2:It's natural for every team everybody that's in that room, correct, has a connection somewhere and it's to play a part yeah, now we mentioned this too, so I think it's crazy that the all the teams that got the buy now don't get a home game, like you work to get that buy, which is great yeah, but you go to the bowl games there now, yeah, I, I do have one. I I just I had thought of this earlier. Really good Thing of that.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:I do not want to see a game On Boise State's field. I cannot stand.
Speaker 1:Oh, you don't like the blue field, the blue field, okay. So have you seen Eastern Michigan? There's gray.
Speaker 2:Gray, I've seen a red one here A while back too. I haven't seen that one. Yeah, I don't remember who it was. I don't mind the Boise State Because I feel like it's so different, like it's such a different feel and maybe the players don't notice this, but they really got quit wearing blue jerseys.
Speaker 1:Blue on the blue is hard.
Speaker 2:Yes, as a fan, or watching on TV or something that's really difficult.
Speaker 1:So I get it. It's their primary color of their team. But when you're watching blue on the blue on a broadcast, especially if it's a little, bit hazy foggy whatever it's a little bit hazy, foggy, whatever, it's much harder.
Speaker 2:I feel like that's the quarterback trying to find an open receiver, but they seem to make it work when you're looking at it on that plane it's a little bit different because you're looking over it.
Speaker 1:When you're looking kind of down you know TV broadcast, it is a little bit more difficult.
Speaker 2:Do you think that messes with other players?
Speaker 1:So I really don't know. It's just like you were saying to me you've earned this top four, cool, you get to buy, but man a home game would be fun.
Speaker 2:Home game is where it's, at the amount of money it brings to your university from ticket sales and concessions and everything but to the community for hotels and restaurants.
Speaker 1:Well, for some of these big teams, it's not even just that immediate town, it's all the however many towns around you, because there's so many people that are coming in to to watch these games. So all the hotels, all the restaurants, all everything is getting a huge boom, which it still kind of happens, but it's where they always hold the bowl games, so it's the same town it's going to those towns like it's not kind of being spread out and really you know, utilize, I think necessarily that's so I'm sure as a coach and your team you want to go earn the buy.
Speaker 2:Get a rest, sure, for your team. You know kirby smart mentioned it I say, kirby, smart, absolutely.
Speaker 1:We kind of talked about this and I don't know if you ever got to go watch it.
Speaker 2:I watched it again, so I didn't see what uh commissioner had said so he he's they asked kirby and first time he didn't hear.
Speaker 1:Uh, hear the woman ask him again and he's like, yeah, we're super excited to have the buy because the SEC had us traveling all year long. He said we need that extra week to recuperate and just be at home, like just kind of relax for a bit. And it's funny because you know Sankey the head of the SEC is, you know, 15 feet from him and kind of the biggest controversy was Sankey congratulated Texas for getting there but never said also congrats on Georgia for winning the SEC.
Speaker 2:I didn't see that part. But didn't Kirby Smart even call out Sankey? Didn't even say his name. Oh, yeah, yeah, because I saw the camera kind of pan to him and he was just kind of standing there and they walk off and he puts his arm around him.
Speaker 1:But he's been pretty open since the beginning of the year when they I guess before the year when they announced their schedule and he's like why are we traveling for every big game? Yeah, we have zero at home. No, that doesn't make any sense. No, I don't necessarily like it. Um, but you kind of mentioned it, the quarterfinals, which is that second round now, is kind of the bowl games. Yep, other than those rounds, do you care about any bowl games? Are bowl games important?
Speaker 2:well, I told you, there's one I wanted to see Tulane plays Florida and the only reason I care a little bit and it's a very little bit is to see, if all the talk about Tulane, how they stack up to a mid-range, at best, sec team.
Speaker 1:But Florida is a team that puts a lot of guys in the NFL just over the years they have. If they have any guy on that team right now that's going, does he even play in it? What's the point?
Speaker 2:Well, I agree with that. Why risk it? A lot of players have stopped playing in them over the years. Yeah, they really don't mean anything.
Speaker 1:So I mean, I understand like there's this money involved and there's all a single bowl game out there that I'm excited about. Um, I kept seeing a graphic today, you know florida state's making fun of miami, saying you know, you rented this quarterback for a year, talking about cam ward, who's had an unbelievable year actually. You know, heisman finalist and he's, like you, rented a quarterback for a year to make to the pop-tart bowl. And their comment back was you have a 12 million dollar roster to win two games.
Speaker 2:To win two games and it's like, okay, yeah, florida State's not the team to be saying anything to anybody about what they've paid.
Speaker 1:Not this year, definitely not.
Speaker 2:But no, I'll watch the games. Well, it's football, so I'm going to watch it Exactly.
Speaker 1:I have. No, I don't care about any of them. There's not one that I'm waiting to go watch.
Speaker 2:No, I'm the same way, until we get to that first round, which I think comes pretty quick.
Speaker 1:I want to say I looked it up 20th or something like that 20th and 21st, I'm pretty sure it's like a Friday, saturday or a Thursday Friday, I can't remember yeah because we actually have football this weekend with Army Navy.
Speaker 2:We do.
Speaker 1:And then there's post-playoff announcement Because technically Army could have been in it. I mean, army's a one-loss team, only lost to Notre Dame.
Speaker 2:Would they just not factor that in if they go beat Navy by 100? I have no idea.
Speaker 1:But what if they go get beat? What if somehow Army got a bye?
Speaker 2:They're top four and they go lose to Navy.
Speaker 1:It's like all right. Well, what does that game count for?
Speaker 2:That's a good point.
Speaker 1:I hadn't thought about that, so it's just it's very odd to me to play it that way. It's almost like it doesn't count. It's yeah, it's just an exhibition in a way, even though it's not. But it's almost thinking maybe we should have pushed the playoff announcement, you know, back a week I wonder if they would have done that if army was more in the mix I don't know. I mean the way the schedule is laid out.
Speaker 2:They've had this set for a while, yeah well, before they knew, probably never thought army was gonna be anything army army's best year they've ever had.
Speaker 1:They won a I can't say best year they've had best year in modern history that they've had um winning their conference first year in the ac winning it.
Speaker 1:What 12 and one only lost in notre dame. I mean, their quarterback is heisman finalist, I believe. I mean they've had a heck of a year. Um, so then, kind of going off the bowl game topic, my other thought was so we see it in March, madness, right, we've got the big tournament, but then you've got the NIT. Uh-huh, would you be more interested if they did like the next 12 in almost like an NIT bracket? Would that at least be more interesting?
Speaker 2:I don't care about the NIT, so probably Would that at least be more interesting.
Speaker 1:I don't care about the NIT, so probably not.
Speaker 2:It'd be a little more interesting, I find myself watching it because it's a tournament.
Speaker 1:It's the same thing with the early college basketball season tournaments. I watch them because tournaments are more fun. It just feels like there's more risk.
Speaker 2:But is anybody still going to care? Maybe you mentioned players. If you're going to the NFL, you're going to get anyways. You're probably gonna go play in that tournament either it would depend.
Speaker 1:It's like if they say, all right, for every round you win, you get x amount of dollars more. Well, there's so much, there's so much money involved in it now anyway, so why not?
Speaker 2:well, that's what they're gonna have to do these nil deals and or whatever it becomes, whoever's paying the player? Right they're gonna have to write it in. You get this amount of money, but you have to play in the bowl game also, but well, I mean, I don't know I listened to a guy talking about it.
Speaker 1:His uh son was being recruited a few years back and he said well, hey, we can't technically give you that amount of money, but here's the number we're going to give you. But then we've also got a house waiting for your parents, a car waiting for you and them yeah it's like, okay, we can't technically give you that money, but we're also going to give you all these perks.
Speaker 2:so you're getting that, that money. That's interesting yeah.
Speaker 1:So it's. It's kind of like all right, even if we do go away from all the money pot, there's still going to be stuff that they're going to be handed out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you know a lot of people would agree that you know the job you're at, the money is very important, but a lot of the benefits can make up, you know, uh, whether it's insurance and things like that, or just the schedule you get or whatever. There's other benefits outside of money.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean don't get me wrong the money you bring home is fantastic. The more you bring home, the better it kind of feels. But at the same time, if they're like all right, well, you're going to have a little bit less, but now we're also going to give you a car, a 401K insurance, cell phone.
Speaker 2:You know, now, a big thing is working home.
Speaker 1:yeah, exactly, to work from home, that's exactly a big thing, and so if you're, if you get all of those things, it's kind of like all right. Well, maybe I don't need as much money because I really don't have as many bills now. I've got way less things I'm paying out well, so sometimes well, yeah, we make, we make more, we spend more. It's just kind of the natural flow that's the way it is.
Speaker 2:And then you know uh, you know, I work from home, so I thought there'd be less expenses, but now I gotta have lunch every day and I gotta have yeah, figuring out, some got my electric on it more every day and I get you know things like that. But right. So I mean, there is some change, but I wouldn't trade it.
Speaker 1:But at the same time it's like what you spend in electric that month, you probably saving gas I'm sure because, yeah where your office was you're traveling quite a bit.
Speaker 2:I just think too. You know when, when you're at the office, it you can bring your lunch all you want, but you're gonna eat out.
Speaker 1:Oh, it's just of course you're busy. You know you're in a more popular area where your office is. So the options, it's like, man, we don't have this back home yeah, I want to go get this man.
Speaker 2:I brought me a ham sandwich, but no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1:I got the steakhouse right down the road. Why am I eating this ham sandwich?
Speaker 2:Exactly Right.
Speaker 1:And then too, like we've kind of talked about it, like when you work from home, you kind of, you know, work at different hours.
Speaker 2:You may not always work like the exact same, like nine to five may be, but you get so much more done, so, yes, easily.
Speaker 1:Now you have to be self-disciplined, oh 100 if you're not a self-disciplined person, that could get. You can get kind of out there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you could get way behind get way behind on stuff um which I think I feel like I get behind regardless, doesn't matter what I do. But uh, right, but yeah the you know I find myself working late at night, sometimes early mornings, you know. Just oh yeah, I mean I've gotten texts from you at like 12, 30 and, but yeah, I find myself working late at night sometimes early in the mornings.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I mean I've gotten texts from you at like 1230 and you're like I'm bidding a job, right now yeah, yeah, that does not sound fun. I'm sitting here watching TV because I can't sleep but at least I'm having to work right now. It's very different.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's plus and minus. I guess you could say, I think with anything, yeah, it's a yeah there's, there's plus and minus, I guess.
Speaker 1:Oh, of course I think with anything, yeah, but um, so kind of my last, last thing that I really had on the college football front for me was there's kind of the reports coming from today Bill Belichick going to Chapel Hill to be the next football coach.
Speaker 2:But are they tired of just getting washed up coaches yet? Is he washed up, though.
Speaker 1:No, I don't know, I say that jokingly, but it's hard when you had had Tom Brady, but at the same point, would Tom Brady have been what he was without Bill Belichick? I don't know.
Speaker 2:Tom Brady's impression of him going to college recruits and no, I can see that oh, you gotta look it up. He said something like yeah, we really want you here and uh, or we don't, just whatever just you know, if you want to be here, that's cool, that's cool.
Speaker 1:So I I do think on the recruiting front you walk in and say I'm Bill Belichick. I know everybody in the NFL. Yeah, that makes sense, if you want to make it, I can get you there. Like whether it's the greatest program or not, I can get you there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he can for sure get players, and I definitely think he could still coach, so he could probably be successful.
Speaker 1:I'm just curious can he coach college? That's the thing, coach college, that's. It's different dealing with that age compared to, I say, adults, but a lot of those guys are super young too, but it's still like it's an older. You're expected more like you're. You're a pro like you're.
Speaker 2:You are demanded of more kind of where college sports is going with paying players and the way it's going to keep getting that more and more and they're going to be more like employees that might help somebody like him, um. But I think a lot of these colleges need to do no matter what team football, basketball, baseball, whatever you know, women's basketball, whatever it is you need somebody on that staff that's kind of their job to handle the nil and all that, so the coaches can get out of that basically a manager a gm or an agent or almost, in a way of just all you do is deal with those players and contracts and those things.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because, and I think, that's why some coaches are leaving. But the coaches are have so much on their plate already with trying to coach like they don't need to handle all the money. I mean they don't even really need to know who's making what, just because that can affect you know how much playing time you're giving them, what you're doing. Just let your general manager handle that and you go coach the team well, but that used to be a part of recruiting.
Speaker 1:It was like, how much am I getting to play when I come there? It wasn't about the money. It was like, well, now it's about the money. If I get to show, if I show up, am I going to get reps right away? Am I going to have to, you know, grind and get, you know, move up the depth chart, or am I just gonna be sitting the bench for a bit? You know my red shirt and whatever. Now it's like, all right, what's the money look like? And then, yeah, is that? Obviously, depending on the amount of money you spend, you got to play the guy well, can you spend?
Speaker 1:a million dollars and let him sit the bench?
Speaker 2:I don't think you can. But again, that's where I don't think the coach should even need to know, like, just let someone else do it.
Speaker 1:But again, if you want to pay me a million dollars to sit the bench, the hard, call me up the hard part, though, is as a head coach, as a coach in general, I feel like you need to know everything that's happening with your team, because if you don't, you're still responsible for it. If they're doing something wrong, end of the day, it falls on you do you think in the?
Speaker 2:I say nfl because we're talking football, but nba or whatever? I'm sure the coaches know what everybody makes.
Speaker 1:It's public knowledge their salaries are different, but do you?
Speaker 2:think it has any sway on what the coach does at all, whether because you see some, some guys playing especially NBA who come out really good and they're making very little money because they just got to the league or whatever.
Speaker 1:So I think NBA is harder because for most of those teams I don't feel like there's really much coaching happening.
Speaker 2:It's true.
Speaker 1:It's a lot more management than it is coaching Because by the time you get to that point, there's sets and things they go through. There is still some coaching. I'm not saying that, but I just feel like the coach of an NBA team. If you win, great, your team's awesome. If you lose, it's all your fault. It's like alright well, if we had injuries and we had guys just not performing the way they should. I can't help that, because then there's some guys that get paid and then they stop working. I mean, a guy that comes to mind, ben Simmons, is getting a lot of money and doing nothing, and he is not worth a penny right now.
Speaker 1:He's just not a guy, that which you know. That was kind of when they were looking at him out of college. One of the first things was he's kind of lazy, he doesn't work hard, he's.
Speaker 2:He's not really looking to get better yeah, you kind of knew that for him it was.
Speaker 1:He's made it once he got there and then somehow they kept paying him and I'm like, golly, at some point you've got to just cut your losses and say this is a cancer to the team, let's get get away from it. And they yet to to have done that. But I mean even the highlights I saw the other night. I mean he's what six, eight means? Huge long guy. He's going, going down the lane, stops, they all retreat and he doesn't even turn to the basket. He's like it's a five foot shot and he's looking to pass it. And I'm like, all right, a guy like that that has no confidence to even shoot a shot like that, and we're paying him x millions of dollars a year, why?
Speaker 2:Like we just got to be done with that. I got quiet for a second. So on the TV behind you there we've got Arkansas playing Michigan Arkansas's up two with 14 seconds to go, so they were.
Speaker 1:They were up 10 just like five minutes ago. I know there, so what happened there.
Speaker 2:That's good. Old coach cows, game coaching, old coach cows in the game coaching. Out there, you love some coach cow. I know how that goes. That's the first 10 years at uk. Coach cow was amazing last five.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I could have done without that, but hey, we got mark pope, we're good now. Well, so, so something you talked about last week. I didn't watch any of it. Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and preface it with this. Did not watch a second of it, but I have seen some espn showing some highlights, whatever the simpsons cast, so it looked awful so we were at basketball practice last night.
Speaker 2:We can talk about that more later, but sure I got a text from family member said, hey, are you watching this? And had a picture of it okay and so when I got home, I said no, I just got home, you know, I'm gonna check it out. And I said is it good? And he said uh, I don't remember exact words, but something along the lines of I watched it for about five minutes and that was good.
Speaker 1:I had enough already.
Speaker 2:I said, yeah, I expect I'm going to do that. So I turned it on for a minute and the most interesting whatever, but it was pretty uh comparable when a guy, uh there was an instance he scored a touchdown kind of down the sideline right, um, almost stepped out of bounds and went to review and the simpsons cast showed the exact same thing.
Speaker 1:I think it was, uh, maybe lisa simpson running the ball or something but yeah, but you're right outside line animation layover, like that's not even difficult, it was exactly that's what they were doing, um, so it had a cartoonish feel, but no, I lasted maybe five minutes or something so yeah, I don't care. You text me last night and said the simpsons cast is on. I don't even think I granted you a text back. I think I ignored that yeah probably I was like I know you didn't care less about that.
Speaker 1:So today I was out working and pulled up the tv for a minute and they were kind of showing a few clips of that, the amount of time that they spent on that and who knows the amount of money. The graphics were horrible. It was like it was very.
Speaker 2:It almost felt like 90s video game, not simpsons cartoon well, that's the way I thought the others I had looked up with the uh, the super bowl, where they had spongebob, and then they had a toy story one.
Speaker 2:I think at one point I felt the same way with those. They were very old school graphics, um, maybe some nostalgia to it they were trying to put. I don't know, maybe that's the audience they're going for. It didn't work for me and I feel like that wasn't the audience for kids, so I don't know who it worked for.
Speaker 1:If somebody loved it, please, hey, shoot us a message say hey, yeah, if you were able to last long enough through some of that to watch, let us know you know why you stayed with it and what, for you really drew you in. Yeah, maybe we didn't stay long enough watching it.
Speaker 2:But um, yeah, I just, and I grew up watching the simpsons, so I obviously didn't stay long enough, because I didn't even turn it on. Turn it on it wasn't worth my time yeah, so I I would have been better off going back to the manning cast, but I didn't even watch that last night. So we got home so late because we were what three practices in on our girls' reg basketball.
Speaker 1:I said two and a half yeah, because you know, obviously the one Sunday afternoon was optional, which we had a great turnout actually, but it was optional.
Speaker 2:We had as much then as we had last night.
Speaker 1:We had eight, the other day did we?
Speaker 2:okay, we had seven at our practice.
Speaker 1:That's not so I take that back. We had seven because we did, we did have 10 10 girls on our team um.
Speaker 1:They're all fairly younger and uh and some some of you, I know that listen have coached and coached many sports and didn't, you know, been all around a lot of stuff. Those of you that have never really coached anything, whether that's your forte or not Coaching anything in rec league you have to have a lot of patience. I'm not even talking about with the players. It's hard because the league is run by a buddy of ours he's kind of head of it, but it's just like. We know they don't have a ton of funding, we know they don't have a ton of time because they do so many things and it's so.
Speaker 2:There's not a lot of use gym time well, we don't have gyms here.
Speaker 1:We have, you know, legit one gym here and we try to use some schools for stuff, but they're in basketball season also. So you know, we we have one big outdoor gym that, fortunately, sunday afternoon was like 65, so it's beautiful, but we're also in december, so we're not going to get many of those yep um. So, yeah, it's, uh, it's very difficult. You know, when I was coaching basketball at the high school and you just have these set like obviously we get the gym because we're a school, team, it's your gym.
Speaker 2:You don't think about that now.
Speaker 1:You gotta make it work our thing that we were always fighting for is do we get to go at 3, 30 or 5, 30, like?
Speaker 2:that was the only difference. I've coached a lot of different youth sports. Um, yeah, done a lot of softball lately, gotten that good, and when I was younger I done a lot of youth football just because I love football so much. Um, this is the first time, I believe, coaching a youth basketball team and you know I know I can handle the players and you know I've done a lot in softball, so the girls and you know I kind of handle that right and that's why I know your background basketball, so this kind of works um, but yeah, hang on, there was no this kind of works.
Speaker 1:This was a hey. By the way, you're coaching well, so I had. You know, I don't care, but it was one of those like there's no question, it was just.
Speaker 2:Hey, your niece is on this team, show up you know, okay, cool, I had thought about it beforehand just because I'd coach so much other stuff, and nothing against any other coaches. But you know, when you've coached stuff and you feel like you understand it and you can handle it, you know if you do it yourself like you're good your daughter, my daughter's on the team and I know, I know what kind of coaching she's getting and that kind of thing.
Speaker 2:um, again, that's not a knock on anybody else and I I knew I don't know about basketball. I could go teach them some stuff and if, if I coach something I don't know anything about, well, you can find stuff online.
Speaker 1:Well, but I knowing you, though, you're the type, if there's something you don't know about but you get involved in any kind of way, you'll spend some time. I'm involved in this. I got to know something, yeah, but I got to at least be involved somehow.
Speaker 2:You know, having you know your experience in basketball playing and playing in college and coaching in high school and things like that, I just kind of let you handle that part more. Oh, sure, you know, obviously we talk about some things or whatever, but Well, but at the end of the day, like that those roles fit.
Speaker 1:It does Like obviously, like drills come naturally to me, but look how many times I've done it. Yeah, like I've coached rec league when I was younger, but then you know coaching just a few years ago.
Speaker 2:there's a lot of drills that we're kind of mirroring but we're just kind of simplifying because obviously this is third through sixth grade and that's where it's still a lot of learning for some of these I kind of give you an idea like hey, you're kind of thinking this and you get your opinion on it and then you just go okay, let's do this drill, that drill, and then right you know, I try to be more on the administrative side, somewhat dealing with the wreck. If we need to deal with the parents, if we need to oh, I'd much rather you do that, and I'm sure they're just.
Speaker 2:I mean so you know parents have been great basketball so different because we get such a short amount of time in a gym. You know, I feel like I haven't got to connect with the parents as much as I do, right, in other sports like softball, football, you know those where we're outside a lot more.
Speaker 1:I feel like the practices are longer in softball but, like we said, we have one legitimate gym that we get to practice in and we get one hour once a week once a week and that's hard for girls that have never learned.
Speaker 2:Well, we've got three or four that have never played yeah, so and it's.
Speaker 1:It's not a knock against them. They're like, they're here now to learn. Yeah, but when you've got to try to and again, do we want to win? Yes, because we are competitive, but at the end of the day, mine and david's thought is the girls need to get better. Like if they're gonna play basketball, they need to learn and then, when this is over, and figure it out.
Speaker 2:I want them to have had fun. I want them to play again next year, go on to middle school, play correct.
Speaker 2:And when they go on to play, I want them to have an idea of what basketball is, not just run around and they, they need to have a skill set yeah, exactly, and that's the thing talking about only getting an hour a week and you get all these different teams going in there, and so the challenge immediately was what day can we practice? And you got some kids that say, oh, I can't practice that day, can't practice that day. And that became a challenge and and luckily we got great parents, like I said, and they said, yeah, we can make this work and that work and we, we finally come together. Um, so that was the biggest challenge and now again, I I want to get more involved with the parents, so maybe one day we'll have them out here for you golf or the weather's good or something and just unfortunately, it's the time of year like december is really hard to get much outdoor stuff.
Speaker 1:Um, you know, obviously today it really wasn't that cold, but we just had nasty rain.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like we, just the weather's not been great I, you know, I've kind of went back and forth this little bit, because I think a lot of people say, well, that's just, you know, girls rec league and you know, just go to. But I want it to be more than that. I want the girls to know each other and it to feel like a team and learn, and and I think you do that by bonding, even outside of practice.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Well, my issue was saying, well, it's just girls' rec league. It's like, okay, it is right now, but in our area basketball is not really huge, so there's not going to be a ton of travel ball happening. There's not going to be a ton of that. Now there are some just not at this age, like that, that kind of third and fourth grade girls.
Speaker 1:You don't really have any travel ball yet, but this is the age that builds that up like but they, they've got to learn, like that's the thing is like like obviously, you know my niece, your daughter, she's in sixth grade, technically could have played middle school this year, but she's just not really been in basketball much. Obviously you know softball, bug bitter and she's huge into that, but she's an athlete, you know, she very potentially could have made that team, but she, just for her, doesn't know the rules, doesn't know some of just the little things. That I feel like if you were going to play on an organized school team, you need to have certain skills, yep, and when you have rec league coaches that are just there like, yeah, I can, you know, I'll make sure nobody dies, yeah, it's like all right. Well, are they really?
Speaker 2:prepared.
Speaker 1:It's not against those people, Cause you're you're volunteering your time, like I respect you for that, cause that's the biggest thing Time is. We all know time is money.
Speaker 2:It just it is, but there's so many ways to find information, even if you don't know the information to teach the girls. And that's like you said. We obviously want to win, we're very competitive. But if we lose every game, but at the end of the year these girls go on and they understand the game and they know the rules and they they understand offenses and defenses and yeah, you know, that's what it's about. And the wins will be with the wins. Wins where I had a old football coach always said.
Speaker 2:It stuck with me for all these years take care of the little things, the big things will take care of themselves of course, and that's kind of the way I try to look at these teams and in whatever I'm coaching, let's handle the little things right and what it is is what it is.
Speaker 1:Well, that's like we said. We have an hour-long practice. We spent half of it on a zone defense last night. Arguably, zone defense is gonna be your easiest thing to run, but we spent most of our time on that because none of these girls know it, but so they need to learn it now, so when they go on, they can just seamlessly oh yeah, we've done that. I know what to do there. Now you can teach me more about it instead of. I've never seen that before. So now I, I completely, completely agree.
Speaker 2:Um, but it is a whole lot of fun. That's why I coach all these things, obviously because of my daughter, but I was coaching football even before she was born, so I just enjoy it. I enjoy coaching the game, teaching the kids, enjoying most of the parents. I've had some parents over the years that you know yeah, certain teams can be tough.
Speaker 1:Actually, so far the parents we have on this team, they they're kind of just all like, yeah, whatever you guys need let's do it and we'll you know we'll try our best for extra and and all that.
Speaker 2:So that's a lot of fun having the people it's been years since I've had rough parents, I think I don't think I've had any in the past several years. Well, here's the things.
Speaker 1:It's still early, not calling any of our parents, it's still early, you never know what could happen. So, um, I kind of mentioned this the other last week. Okay, about rory sheffler rising brooks coming up.
Speaker 2:I haven't had a chance to go look yet.
Speaker 1:Well, you told me to go look, so that's coming up in like a week, that's the 17th. Oh, I didn't realize that. Yeah, exactly. So the other thing that I really just got to start learning a little bit more on, I guess over the weekend, when I saw the post on Instagram, so I kind of mentioned to you TGL. This is Tiger and Rory's new kind of indoor team base.
Speaker 2:So is this an ongoing? It's a season, okay, that's what I know. So how long?
Speaker 1:It's called TGL, which stands for Tomorrow's Golf League. Okay, obviously we've seen it. You know being involved with for you golf. You know the simulator stuff, the indoor stuff, that is kind of the, the big drive, like that's going to be the yeah, the future technology of everything and all of those things. So what happened is I saw this post and you've got, I want to say, six teams this year and it's a full-on season so is the pga or live or anybody having a problem with this?
Speaker 1:no, pga is involved. Okay, so it's part. It's like involved with pga, because obviously if tiger's involved, pga won't be involved, tiger is too.
Speaker 2:That makes sense um, but I didn't know if they was gonna have with. Oh, you're playing in this and on our.
Speaker 1:Not necessarily because you've got to think. They're doing indoor stuff team-based. They're not playing nearly as many holes, they're not doing.
Speaker 2:It's going to bring a lot more attention to golf, especially from the younger generation. Yeah, because it's going to be a lot of bright lights. It's going to be a stadium. It's gonna be a lot of bright lights. I mean they should be all about it.
Speaker 1:It's like it's a big indoor thing, yeah, so if you haven't seen it, I do. I do suggest you go look up some of the stuff. Yeah, so there's six teams. I just I just pulled up their website right here, so you've got atlanta, boston, jupiter, los angeles, new york and the bay.
Speaker 2:Um, you know, that's interesting because we talked about that very thing with a live yeah, yeah. How they need to attach themselves to an area, a town or something because that makes that town want to come watch them Correct. So I really like that. They did that. That was probably listening to us. They got that from us. Oh yeah, a hundred percent.
Speaker 1:This hasn't been in the works. So here's the thing TGL was supposed to start last year. Yeah, the stadium that they are in I remember got destroyed at the sofa or some storms, yeah, so some of their storms absolutely ruined that. So when I really got to look at the schedule the other day I was like all right, so I didn't quite realize. Um, first event they have is tuesday, january 7th. It's a 9 pm start so you've got new york versus the bay so where they?
Speaker 2:they're playing all these in the same stadium it'll all be in the same stadium.
Speaker 1:Yes, man. See, I wish they could go to these cities, it's hard though, because, like, if you've seen the setup, the screen is massive, yeah, like it's. It's huge, huge, tall screen. They've then got, once you're inside, like a certain distance, you're doing like a short chipping onto, like a fake green, and then you actually go putt.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so like it's kind of a mix of the whole simulator golf into real golf.
Speaker 1:You can still root, I guess, for your team, but like you can never really have a home game Like they're, you know, let's go At the moment I think if they get big enough, yes, you could, but I also don't think that these guys want to travel a ton because they're already traveling so much throughout the year for tournaments all around the world. So looking through some of the schedule and some of the teams, I was like didn't really understand the concept until I got to read more about it and I'm much more interested now Seeing you know it's like 15 holes. You start out with 3v3 and it goes into individual stuff on the back. Nine okay, and if you win a hole it's a point. If you tie it at zero, whoever has those points at the end wins.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I hope they pretty simple. It sounds like they did. That's what I was hoping that the point system would be very simple.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the average golfer. Even you win a hole, you get a point. Yeah, like it's a pretty simple, like there's not much to it, which is nice, because it very easily could have been. Well, if you get this and you get this amount of points, and if you do this, it's this like on tour, you know you get certain amount of points.
Speaker 1:Now there's there's one thing that is different um, it's, I want to say it's called like the golden hammer or something like that. Okay, it alternates between teams. If you throw that out there, basically you're betting that I'm going to win this hole. It's worth double. So say you're down two points coming into the end and you throw that thing out there and you win, you get two points instead of one. So it's kind of their way of like, almost like a three-pointer, like I got to go for something big. Let's see if we can do this, so that could create a little drama.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly this. So that could create a little drama. Yeah, exactly, I think that's the point is to have a little bit more drama in something that potentially could get stale. I'm not sure I think it'll be fun. Um, the indoor golf is definitely growing. I'm not sure, you know. I gotta see it. I gotta see it happen. I think it'll be fun, I hope they keep it fun and and not kind of uptight like golf has been for years.
Speaker 1:No, I don't think you can be uptight with this. I feel like it'd be really hard to, because I feel like it's going to be a little bit more music, a little bit more.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's definitely the route.
Speaker 1:It's obviously going to be lights and and it's a a stadium feel of a crowd, so like it can't be as yeah, no that kind of laid back as having the crowd there in the stadium.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so so everything looks to be happening in palm beach gardens, so okay, realistically it's not that far for us. We could eventually venture down. Um, especially, you know, pga show. Um, we won't talk about that yet. We're still trying to decide on one of those. Yeah, but uh, that's coming up quick yeah, so I mean starts in january, the last official match is in March, and then they go into playoffs. Top four teams that make playoffs.
Speaker 2:Okay, so it's not a real long season.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, no, and it's all kind of like during the week, right after what tournaments?
Speaker 2:would be. I was going to say so. They're still going to be playing their tournaments. Exactly so you'll have some.
Speaker 1:Obviously, you're not playing every single week, so you've got several weeks off here and there. Some weeks. Some people play two weeks in a row and I'm sure they've obviously looked at what the upcoming pga schedule is yeah um, and there's probably gonna be a lot of people that are not interested in that. You know, golf is still not as mainstream as a lot of the others.
Speaker 2:I do think, though, this can draw in more, um, kind of it's kind of the top golf feel like it's going to draw in more. You've told me about it and I've seen little things in the past, but I haven't seen a lot recently.
Speaker 1:I I feel like they need to do better marketing I I do feel like we need to see a marketing push because even like it's, it's uh on espn. I mean it's being aired on espn well, yeah, how many commercials have you seen, well, during all this football? It's on.
Speaker 2:You should be having those commercials running right, yeah I feel the same everybody's attention.
Speaker 1:But I haven't seen that so kind of what I would. If you're interested whatsoever.
Speaker 2:Tglgolfcom is their main main website and they're not paying us for this.
Speaker 1:No, absolutely not, but it's just it's. I think it's gonna be a good place to go, because I'm actually on it right now as I talk. It's got the teams, who's on each team, it it's got the schedule, it's got the holes that they're going to play and actually, funny enough, the holes they play. There's a couple that are very, um, video game type, um like one in particular that stands out to me. It's called temple. Uh, it's a 502 yard par four, but the like fairway area is shaped like a giant hourglass, almost like you're landing it on a pyramid, so it's like you don't have to do it, so you have some unique, so like we're gonna play all these real courses, like some of these are, just looks like most of these are just kind of made up, so I remember that you know when uh, little backstory here when, for you, golf first started, we started with a mobile simulator, correct?
Speaker 2:and um, the, the system we had was basically the same gaming system you could play on your xbox, playstation, whatever. But you come to the simulator and actually hit golf balls into the screen and stuff. And so I remember some college kids coming out and be like, oh yeah, I've played this, you know, and yeah, and it's, it's kind of cool in the. I remember playing some of the holes that were, uh, you know, a mile long hole or whatever it was, and you know stuff like that.
Speaker 1:So that was all. Like you hit it and it went down like this whole, like brick road, yeah, and you could basically hit like your shortest club in the bag, but it just it rolled down forever and what's funny is that's like you said, that's these things that you see on xbox and game systems for years that kids have played, and now you're getting to actually hit a club into it.
Speaker 2:So I think that'll be interesting to some of the younger generation to say, oh, I've seen that before, I've done that before all right, so I will.
Speaker 1:I will say this opening night tuesday, january 7th, 9 pm.
Speaker 2:Currently your cheapest ticket's 192 dollars you know, I was wondering, will that first be the most expensive and then die down, or would it be the opposite? But I think it's going to be. Yeah, start out pretty expensive because it's new. Now, wait a minute, isn't that? So that's going to run through the pga show. Oh yeah, it's pga show, I think uh, some end of february, something like that. So they may kind of cross those together a little bit that would be kind of cool, because they're not far from each other.
Speaker 1:What they do there, I mean looking out. I'm all the way to january, 21st birthday present. Remember that birthday is right around there. I don't know what you're talking about. Shut up, uh, 176 dollars, so I think it's going to just kind of depend on you think I'm spending 176 dollars on your birthday present sponsors man it's all about the sponsors.
Speaker 1:I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding, um. So yeah, I mean, I do think, I think realistically, at some point maybe the stadium needs to get a little bit bigger ticket prices come down. It's obviously new and pga tickets are still very expensive anyway, so it makes sense. That pricing is, I don't feel, outrageous.
Speaker 2:It's still high, don't be wrong, but it's I mean, if they fill the seats it's gonna stay there. Go up if they don't come down, correct? So I'd be curious to see if people kind of like the secondary stub hub type stuff, do they? You know a lot of people don't go and start selling tickets Right?
Speaker 1:I'm not really sure, like right now they're. They're doing everything through ticket master, obviously the the most used section to go through, um, so I do think it's gonna be a little bit higher now, we? I do think it's going to be a little bit higher now. We may see it come down, we may see it change. Whatever that may be, it has given me a little bit more excitement for it Again. I got a little bit more excited about golf again this weekend, the Hero World Challenge. None other than Scotty Scheffler won again.
Speaker 2:I didn't get to watch any of it, but I saw Scotty won. I was like that's kind of kind of funny.
Speaker 1:So I want to say he was like nine or ten under on Sunday. It's like the man is just crazy. He changed his putter grip.
Speaker 2:I saw that On the short putts he does the claw. He said in the longer putts and he was 100% on ten feet and in on Sunday.
Speaker 1:So if Scotty is again putting this way, he's won nine times this and again.
Speaker 2:I've said this before what's so fascinating with him is he's not this big, muscular built guy. He's a big, tall dude, he's big but he doesn't look like this athlete and he's out there just. But also when you watch his swing and you say there's how many millions of golfers in the world.
Speaker 1:he is literally the best golfer in the world. He's held it now for, I think, like the fourth longest out of anybody ever and his swing is not that prototypical. You know the guys want to teach this swing. A lot of feet movement a lot of craziness.
Speaker 2:He gives everybody hope he does, he does.
Speaker 1:The rest of the world is like man, my swing sucks, but have you seen, scotty?
Speaker 2:Not that his sucks, but it's just it's different. So like a different swing. You're like, okay, I can make that work. You know we've had a buddy give me a couple lessons and uh, you know I watched scotty. I'm gonna call him up, be like what are you talking about? I ain't gonna do that. Are you telling me to do this? Look what scotty's doing right now, like why'd you teach me his swing?
Speaker 1:so the the other funny graphic I saw sunday after scotty won scotty has won, I think, as many times this year as the washington wizards. Is that surprising, though? No, it's not, because I mean.
Speaker 1:So I'm gonna say it's just funny to think golf tournaments are not easy to win. Yeah, these are four-day events. Some of those are majors. Man's won, like I don't know what, 70 million at this point this year. I mean something crazy, not counting sponsorships, and a basketball team that has 82 games in a year has won less Won less than that, that's kind of funny to me and the amount of money they've spent, like we talked about, on their players and everything else. Yeah.
Speaker 2:You know, I did see interesting too that maybe today or yesterday something that Tiger and his son have committed to.
Speaker 1:PNC. Is that next weekend, next week?
Speaker 2:Yep, tiger and Charlie. I was trying to think of the name. So Tiger was supposed to play in the Hero World Challenge.
Speaker 1:I mean he hosts that event.
Speaker 2:That's his event.
Speaker 1:He came out and said I'm not playing, I'm not in tournament shape yet. So then I saw he committed to PNC.
Speaker 2:Well, it's your son.
Speaker 1:You've got to do that Immediately. My thought was whether he's tournament ready or not. He needs more eyes on Charlie. Because if Charlie is not too much longer going to be looking at college recruiting, possibly professional golf, whatever he's going to go into, obviously he's Charlie Woods. He's got a name that you're going to follow regardless, because it's Tiger's kid and he's playing the same sport. Um, and by no means I'm not saying he's a bad golfer, but he's obviously not his father like that.
Speaker 2:That's hard to be hard to be that's a.
Speaker 1:That's something I mean. He really didn't have any hope. I don't think he has any hope to be what his dad is, but he doesn't need to try to be what his dad is either.
Speaker 2:I mean he needs to be a quality golfer 100%, 100%.
Speaker 1:But to me it's like all right, we need to get Charlie on TV, like let's show what his game is now.
Speaker 2:So to me it makes sense. Yeah, I mean, when Tiger said I'm going to be there, a whole lot more people said I'm turning on, I'm going to watch it. Well, yeah, now.
Speaker 1:I'll watch it.
Speaker 2:Like I mean, I would end of his career. I'm gonna watch as much as one of those things you never know when the last time you watch tiger. Yeah, yeah, exactly, at some point it's gonna be the last time he ever plays and you're not gonna know it when he does it. I don't expect. I mean, I can't imagine. It's gonna go hard, guys, this is my last one.
Speaker 1:Do you? Do you think tiger goes to the senior tour? Do you think once he gets to that age he'll want to?
Speaker 2:at some point. He may not do it right away, maybe he's gonna be way past age and he goes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I need something to do maybe just kind of get back into it. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2:So I don't know what is the age. Uh, I'm not sure what it is. Regardless, I don't, I don't, I don't really expect him to do it because I don't think he's real far off from it.
Speaker 1:But um probably not.
Speaker 2:I don't think he'll do it right away, just because it's gonna be no competition to him.
Speaker 1:Even it's actually younger than I thought 50 and over 50.
Speaker 2:Okay, I was thinking 55, or I was thinking 55 or 60, I couldn't remember yeah, so 50 and over. He probably waits till he's 60 or so, I think, because I think he'll still want to play in some tournaments. Yeah, he's 48 yeah, he's eligible in two years could you imagine he'll just go run the thing if he wants to?
Speaker 1:I don't know. I mean I don't, I doubt again. I watch a lot of golf. I highly doubt you've watched much of the champions. I haven't. The pga champions, bernard man, he's still.
Speaker 1:He's still running the place like langer is like, I'm not giving it up, like he's and there's a lot of really good golfers, like there's some guys that came through the pga and then into the seniors or sorry, it's pga champions into champions. But then obviously there's some guys that they're like I didn't make it pro until I became on this tour, it's still good golf.
Speaker 1:It's like now they're not playing the same type of courses, the same necessary distance and all that, but it's still very good, you think Tiger does it for the same reason with Charlie. That just to get more eyes on that, uh, that he may do it if he stays involved with PGA that much to try to help grow champions.
Speaker 2:Because I could see him doing it for that.
Speaker 1:I just don't know that he would, because at that point he's not really playing the best in the world anymore. He's just playing older guys, not saying that they're bad.
Speaker 2:It's just he likes to compete against the best.
Speaker 1:That's his mindset, even at this age where he's had a ton of injuries, a ton of whatever happened with his career. Yeah, at this point it's he can't necessarily compete I don't believe with those top guys, but he still wants mindset I still want to play those guys.
Speaker 2:well, but even if you can't win which he says, you know he's not playing anything, he doesn't feel like he can win, right, but still, if you can just make the cut, you're doing pretty good at this point. But that's why I think it's probably years down the road when he's like, okay, I can't do these anymore with the younger guys, I don't have any chance at all. Okay, now let me go do this just for some fun, just to play golf. I could see that.
Speaker 1:But to me. The only way I see it is if he and he's still involved with PGA, which I think. I foresee Tiger being involved with the PGA until the day he dies.
Speaker 2:So no, live jump. Boy that would be the heel turn.
Speaker 1:So did you hear all the rumors a couple years ago? The rumor was they offered him $800 million, I didn't know how much. So that was the dollar amount, but his deal was going to be worth close to like $1.5 billion. Goodness, like he was going to get interest in the company. He was getting all this stuff. But if he ever does, that Tiger's. Pga Like he's never going to change that.
Speaker 2:I mean don't you remember wrestling back in the 90s and 2000s?
Speaker 1:I mean I do, you never know I do, but I just He'll turn and tap it all the time is hey I mean it's hard to say I couldn't imagine. Especially you know reports coming out past couple days live as close to deal with pga potentially get a six percent ownership of pga they'll all work it out. There's a lot of stuff and I need each other again. I want to see those guys to come back, because you know we're talking there's a lot of good, good golfers over there we're talking quite a bit of golf here.
Speaker 2:Is this because we're in the shop tonight. Maybe we're at the range.
Speaker 1:Well, so I'm looking out the window and I'm seeing the top tracer monitors over there and I'm sitting here like, all right, I'm at the range I want to hit.
Speaker 2:You want to hit a couple.
Speaker 1:My bag is sitting right there. I got the screw in to fix my driver because it finally got it, I know it took a couple weeks to get in it's $4.99 like it was literally just like I gotta order it and that was after shipping. It was $4.99. So I'm like, all right, I just got to get that in. So it finally came today. So I'm like I want to do that and I'm sitting here looking at that, which also, they just added two new courses I didn't know that okay didn't either.
Speaker 1:they changed the layout of the warm-up screen, so it's now all on one side.
Speaker 2:It's unreal that I own a driving range and how little I hit out here. I couldn't tell you last time I hit out here. Oh, I know it's been a long time, I know, um, but they did.
Speaker 1:They added two new courses. Um, so I want to check those out, cause I haven't got yet. Um, mountain brushworks. Um, brett woodbury local buddy of ours, has been sponsoring a close to the pin challenge out here at for you golf for the past several months. I mean, since, like summer, he's and it's almost at this point like eight minutes to a month yeah we do yep, we've got one going on right now.
Speaker 1:Um, buddy of mine just took the lead the other day and he's like super excited about it and I told him I was like look, I don't, I don't enter these. Yeah, it's not, it's because I don't want to accidentally win exactly so then that night I didn't log in and just hit a few shots and I sent him a picture and it's like. This is why I don't enter because it was. I mean, again, I'm not sitting here saying like I'm just so good, I'm gonna win lucky.
Speaker 2:It was just one of those shots, yeah, and it was six inches and actually whipped out and I'm like okay so we do these, uh, yeah, basically every, you know, twice a month, almost every two weeks. What it comes out to be, uh, winner after the two weeks is up fifty dollars, and if you get a hole in one you get two hundred dollars, correct? So, yeah, great thing that mountain brushworks has done with us and it's been really fun.
Speaker 1:It's like it's free to enter. You get to hit as many shots you want on it. Yeah, you just go get a whole basket and just non-stop do that. You can't yep, and we've had some guys do that, so there's one that comes to. We have had uh, what a couple holding ones this summer, or I think I guess it was three, I want to say three total yeah, um, and because I'm sitting here again, I'm looking at all this, the stuff.
Speaker 2:We did a quick plug here.
Speaker 1:Oh sure, uh, the pro shop here 25 off through everything in stock and we actually still have quite a bit um post storm in stock.
Speaker 2:So yeah, we did get a little bit of damage, lost a few items, but most of it we did good getting up for anybody that's not local, like, still reach out to us.
Speaker 1:Um, I'm in the shop pretty much every day of the week. If there's something you're looking for, reach out and if we've got it, I'm not against shipping it like that's perfectly fine and still 25 off right now. Um, we still got some of the new cobra stuff in stock the dark speed things.
Speaker 2:Um, great christmas presents. I'm looking over at the polos and the quarter zips.
Speaker 1:I've already got those, so don't give me that for my birthday you know what's going to happen.
Speaker 2:We're going to sell these out for Christmas and stuff, and then everybody's going to come out of the range and they're all going to wear the same shirt and we're looking at these guys like I knew I shouldn't have wore that shirt today.
Speaker 1:Everybody's got it on. Everybody shows up, looks in particular that sold out super quick. It was kind of just like people saw it and they loved it, but I also think because it was super soft it's the white one. It is so soft, uh, they call it um, cloud spun, okay, and it it feels like a cloud, I mean it's, I love it. Um. So yeah, I'm also looking forward to you know, talking with our rep and getting our next kind of stuff in. Yeah, um, because also that's. That's another thing.
Speaker 1:God, we've been on golf a lot tonight, but I'm getting excited about the range, I think but I'm getting really excited about too, because the new drivers just hit the pga conforming list so it's like all right, there's new equipment coming out, there's, you know, we're getting ready to hit the next season because in january we start playing in hawaii. Like you get, you get the sony, you get, you get all these these courses down there getting played and they kind of start hawaii then to california and kind of make their way back across the country. So obviously love golf, love all the stuff that comes with that. So I'm excited about, you know, kind of the new season and and then too it's it's christmas time, like it doesn't feel like christmas time.
Speaker 1:I'm waiting to see if there's any golf stuff under the tree for me, which I doubt it but it's okay, we're almost.
Speaker 2:You know well, we're a third of the way through December. Now, yeah, it's the 10th already. It doesn't feel like it at all. I'm having a little trouble getting in the Christmas spirit or something. I don't know what it is, but I have to find it somehow. So I'll say this when I'm in my house I feel it.
Speaker 1:You know she always she does a great tree, Like she's really good at decorating tree and it looks, looks awesome and the kids love, you know, putting the ornaments on and do all that. So the house feels good. Yeah, Like it feels. Christmasy but even like around town, like I don't feel like I see the lights. I know you don't see as many lights, I don't know that's, our house is decorated, so we have nutcrackers.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she does. We bought probably several.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, exactly, so we've got those sitting everywhere so, yeah, christmasy in the house some, but I still feel like, well, we got two little boys. So that makes you have to draw back a little bit. Sure, yeah, and they're still young stuff they can get to.
Speaker 2:You know, um, but typically by now I've put lights up outside and we use a few inflatables and and I keep thinking, yeah, I gotta do that, I gotta do that well, but now it's the 10th already I know is it worth to do it for the next two weeks. I think I'm gonna have to, just you know for the kids and stuff and you know.
Speaker 2:But yeah, I just can't feel it. Yet I don't know. I even the other night I was up late and there was a random christmas movie I hadn't seen. It was with the ms, very corny, but christmas movie I would not okay.
Speaker 1:So when you're talking about a christmas movie, that's not where I would have went.
Speaker 2:I probably wrote it or something um very corny movie, but I just watched. I was like maybe this will help me in in I don't know anything I mean, it was two o'clock in the morning, so I I guess at that moment, but I haven't put my christmas lights up yet, so not enough, all right so.
Speaker 1:So that'll kind of be, I guess, my, my closing thing. Favorite christmas movie like we're at that time of year, there's, there's quite a few nowadays, oh man, what's what's kind of maybe not the favorite, what's a few of the go-to oh so I'm not even sure how christmas cities these are, but I love home alones I mean everybody says that's me feels christmas it is, but it's.
Speaker 2:It's kind of walking the line okay, so, so home alone.
Speaker 1:What's the favorite? Which favorite? Yeah, um the first one original okay so I I gravitate to the first one because it is the original, but the second one just has so many funny parts because they just kind of it's, it's the same movie. It's just in new york instead of at his home, but it's some of the you know when they're trying to break in to that apartment complex and some of the stuff he does in there it was really really good.
Speaker 1:And then after that I don't include those as Home Alone movies I count one and two.
Speaker 2:Nothing after that. Do I really count? I've seen three.
Speaker 1:So I'll make the statement now. If you like Home Alone, but you consider anything after one and two, you don't like Home Alone. You don't like Home Alone.
Speaker 2:It's not the same stuff. You don't like them. It's not the same stuff. No, but even those aren't my favorite Christmas movies. You know, I like the actual Christmas movies, Like I love the Santa Claus movies Probably the first Santa.
Speaker 1:Claus, yeah, tim Allen's Santa Claus movie you know the Elf was a funny movie.
Speaker 2:It's still not my favorite but it's kind of more comedy. I love comedy stuff. Sure, when you put something like my wife loves Christmas with the Cr kind of comedy.
Speaker 1:I don't even know if I've ever watched that you're in trouble now, uh it's tim allen. Okay, don't start. There's a movie that I still haven't watched, that you've been on to me for how many years now listen, I wanted you to watch this movie just because we love sports you bought it for me I bought it for you to watch and you still haven't I still haven't. I want to say it's still in the plastic.
Speaker 2:I bet it is, it's mint Save it Listen it's a collector. You probably put a sticker on it last year or two. You had just to try to move it on out.
Speaker 1:No, I think it still has the sticker when you bought it on sale on Black Friday. I think it still has that sticker on it.
Speaker 2:I think that is what I think it was, because ever go well.
Speaker 1:So I'm not gonna lie. There's been many times past few years. I'm like I'm gonna watch that. Yeah, you are. But what happens is, if amanda can't watch it with me at this point I'm like, all right, if I watch it, she will be mad.
Speaker 2:I don't believe anything you say, just like I'm gonna you keep waiting on your ping pong table too, and okay, hang on, hang on, hang on, that's not fair no, no, we're getting in here. We gotta close up. We don't have time to talk about this real quick story.
Speaker 1:We were moving. I got a ping pong table for christmas. I guess christmas my birthday yeah, we bought it.
Speaker 2:I think we bought it for you for christmas or something um, got a good deal on it.
Speaker 1:Got a ping pong table. I love ping pong like.
Speaker 2:It's just so much fun was it a present from us right?
Speaker 1:I think so. I was thinking so. Yeah, I think so because, like, I had one growing up like mom and dad. Uh, well, not growing up, but when I was in high school we got one and me and dad used to love to play. And then, obviously, youth group growing up, we had one in there. So we I used to love ping pong. Well, so we're moving. I don't even remember which house we were moving to at that point. I don't either.
Speaker 1:I'm not sure we were leaving the white house yeah, I know which house you were leaving, but I don't know where you were going and I want to say no, we were moving to where we are now. Okay, before we built the house, it was the old house. That was there, okay, so we had nowhere to put it but in our infinite wisdom and I still blame david for this because he was driving both loaded it. David was driving. It falls on the driver. North carolina state law would say so no, I don't know.
Speaker 2:So I should have knew better than to put it in the truck the way we did.
Speaker 1:Yes, but we had done a lot that day we had.
Speaker 2:It was like the last load it was late at that point it was it was almost midnight.
Speaker 1:We're loading this last one like, all right, we're gonna take this. I think we're actually taking that to your house, because I didn't have room for it, probably in the old house, so we've got it in the back of a truck and it's basically broadside it it is. Yeah, we made it not even a quarter mile down the road that was a dumb move, to put it that way.
Speaker 2:Now, if it had been just a little bit shorter, the cab of the truck would have probably blocked the wind. It would have been fine. Yeah, it's stuck up just enough.
Speaker 1:So it flipped over the tailgate and those are particle board. Yeah, it shattered everywhere so I still give david a hard time hearing there about. You know used to have a ping pong table, but I don't have that anymore.
Speaker 2:I have talked several times about buying you one. I even said something a couple weeks ago about getting you a ping pong table.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's just. I really don't have anyone to put it. I don't know where to put it. Yeah. It would be really hard Dining room table, so you're probably going to never have golf simulator in my house. Yeah, probably so. No, you ain't. No, you ain't.
Speaker 2:You're going to have a dang ping pong table. No, if you get enough space, I'm putting a ping pong table there. I'm not Listen, I was literally up.
Speaker 1:Last night fell asleep pretty early. No-transcript luckily.
Speaker 2:I know the weather gets us a little bit, but we got top tracer here at the range, so that's like a simulator so we do all the same thing. You know the covered area because, honestly, like I'm still thinking, it'd even tee the ball up for you over there with the power I'm still thinking of going out and hitting a few lights, are getting ready to turn off it's.
Speaker 1:It's that about that time.
Speaker 2:So, um, I feel like we've talked a lot tonight we have.
Speaker 1:It's been a little over the place too, yeah, um, but it's been fun. Like we, we've had a lot of fun with this and we're gonna keep going and and uh, who knows where we go with all this if you have a topic that we haven't hit which is probably not many you want us to talk about, shoot us a message. Yeah, we're always open to talk about whatever, whether it requires a little research or not, because sometimes it's just more fun to talk about something you don't even know.
Speaker 2:Now I'll be honest. There's probably a few topics I'm not going to talk about.
Speaker 1:There are, but it's definitely not going to be a deep discussion on certain things.
Speaker 2:That's true. I'll mention about anything Touch on something. I'm just not going to get real deep on some stuff.
Speaker 1:Well, but that's again. I'll talk about it if it interests me. If it piques my interest, oh yeah, I'll go with it, but if it doesn't, it's not worth it like emus.
Speaker 2:That's why we're here start.
Speaker 1:We almost made it the whole time emus, and on that and on that note everybody, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 2:Thank you. I hope to see you next week.
