What is up Instagram?
00:00:13.356 --> 00:00:14.317
Oh wait, no, that's not right.
00:00:14.317 --> 00:00:15.919
What's up everybody?
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:21.634
Welcome to another episode of the Chasing Daylight podcast man.
00:00:21.634 --> 00:00:26.888
You can see from the YouTube intro it is blazing hot in Vegas.
00:00:26.888 --> 00:00:29.477
This is some insane weather.
00:00:29.477 --> 00:00:31.422
We've been talking about how nice it's been.
00:00:31.422 --> 00:00:33.527
Well, it's not nice anymore.
00:00:33.527 --> 00:00:38.055
It's hot, hot, hot hot.
00:00:38.055 --> 00:00:40.320
You guys got in some golf.
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:41.484
We'll chat about that in a minute.
00:00:41.484 --> 00:00:47.881
My wife sprung a staycation on me and I didn't know I was invited.
00:00:47.881 --> 00:00:59.765
The WNBA All Star Game was in town and there's the three-point contest and the skills challenge on Friday and the game on Saturday.
00:00:59.765 --> 00:01:06.207
She booked one of the little timeshare places that we have, the carriage house down there by Plain Hollywood.
00:01:06.207 --> 00:01:08.602
I didn't know I was invited.
00:01:08.602 --> 00:01:17.222
I found out Wednesday that Thursday, friday, saturday, sunday, we were staying there.
00:01:17.222 --> 00:01:25.641
I got to experience not the best site of Vegas, I guess you could say.
00:01:25.641 --> 00:01:31.153
I love walking around the strip and seeing people and checking everything out.
00:01:32.180 --> 00:01:37.248
But, man, when it's that hot out, people get crazy.
00:01:37.248 --> 00:01:39.271
They get crazy.
00:01:39.271 --> 00:01:58.730
I mean the yard-long margaritas from Fat Tuesdays, which, by the way, there's a Fat Tuesday every 100 feet in Vegas, if you're ever in the, if not an imitator yeah, if you have a desire for some slushy alcohol, it's readily available.
00:01:58.730 --> 00:02:02.983
Yeah, people act crazy, act crazy.
00:02:02.983 --> 00:02:06.971
Some guy was handing out CDs of his music.
00:02:06.971 --> 00:02:08.658
I said, no, I'm cool, he's like what?
00:02:08.658 --> 00:02:09.200
Because I'm black.
00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:13.741
And I was like, whoa, yeah, they're not handing those out.
00:02:13.817 --> 00:02:16.707
They're trying to get them in your hands so you purchase them from them.
00:02:16.707 --> 00:02:17.508
They're not free.
00:02:18.631 --> 00:02:22.149
And I turned around and just drank up a conversation with them.
00:02:22.149 --> 00:02:27.205
It's going to be like no, it's because you're handing out a CD.
00:02:27.205 --> 00:02:29.730
Those haven't been around for a decade now.
00:02:30.312 --> 00:02:31.253
How about a flash drive?
00:02:31.500 --> 00:02:33.784
I don't have a CD player in my car anymore.
00:02:33.784 --> 00:02:36.711
Come on, can you give me a jump drive please?
00:02:36.711 --> 00:02:39.504
He was already gone.
00:02:39.504 --> 00:02:46.644
And then the other crazy thing I told you guys about this that we saw, by the way, the All Star Game was great.
00:02:46.644 --> 00:02:49.550
All the festivities, everything was great.
00:02:49.550 --> 00:02:56.074
Erica and Emma, they had court-side seats for the three-point contest and everything.
00:02:56.074 --> 00:02:58.043
She had an absolute blast.
00:02:58.525 --> 00:03:08.221
My wife, that is, is a big women's basketball fan, so really happy that she had a great time, much deserved, and equally she had a good time at the All Star Game.
00:03:08.221 --> 00:03:17.105
But as we were, we went to Holsteins at Cosmo and ate there afterwards which, wow, fantastic food.
00:03:17.105 --> 00:03:30.441
But as we were walking from there over to the Bellagio, one of the street performers I can just describe him as a man singing to music, wearing a mirrored tuxedo.
00:03:30.441 --> 00:03:58.246
He had mirrors from head to toe over his body and this fentanyl cracked out, homeless lady gets up and says you're not going to play any of that shit on my beat and walked over and kicked his tip bucket and then he unloaded the cleanest right hook I had seen in a long time and just leveled her.
00:03:58.948 --> 00:04:03.121
Leveled her, which was what you said right in front of you right.
00:04:04.183 --> 00:04:13.165
She got up and was in front of me walking and I heard her say it and I was like, oh, this ain't going to be good.
00:04:13.165 --> 00:04:14.389
And then she kicked the bucket.
00:04:14.389 --> 00:04:23.891
And she may have kicked the bucket after that too, because she dropped like a dead fish and did not move.
00:04:23.891 --> 00:04:29.889
And I was like, wow, that really happened right in front of us.
00:04:29.889 --> 00:04:37.550
So I told the kids I'm like no, that jock that down, that's not something you see every day.
00:04:37.550 --> 00:04:40.624
But don't be kicking street performers buckets.
00:04:40.624 --> 00:04:44.701
I mean, just let them be that's their livelihood, man.
00:04:44.740 --> 00:04:47.826
Let them entertain, and there are a lot of them.
00:04:47.826 --> 00:05:00.401
The whole Times Square Marvel people that are out going crazy trying to get people to take pictures with them has come to Vegas.
00:05:00.401 --> 00:05:05.189
So that's, you got a handful of those people.
00:05:05.189 --> 00:05:12.452
There's the street performers, the showgirls, the wannabe showgirls out there.
00:05:12.452 --> 00:05:21.012
Trying to get people to take pictures with them is insane and, like some of them, don't need to be out there.
00:05:21.521 --> 00:05:22.343
Yeah, my favorite.
00:05:22.343 --> 00:05:24.610
Every time we go there it's like you guys want a family picture.
00:05:25.762 --> 00:05:27.165
We're like no, probably not actually.
00:05:27.646 --> 00:05:40.021
Thank you, though we're like whoever, just you know, we're getting ready to sit in there, getting ready to watch the Fountains, and this lady, she comes up and she's like hey, honey, you want a picture to the guy standing next to me?
00:05:40.021 --> 00:05:42.430
And he's like, no, no, I'm okay.
00:05:42.430 --> 00:05:44.016
And she goes oh, come on.
00:05:44.016 --> 00:05:45.882
You know you're looking at my butt and his wife goes.
00:05:45.882 --> 00:05:47.706
I guarantee you he wasn't.
00:05:47.706 --> 00:05:49.189
And I'm like, oh shit.
00:05:50.112 --> 00:05:51.281
We just saw one altercation.
00:05:54.005 --> 00:05:56.529
But yeah man it's a different place.
00:05:56.529 --> 00:06:05.202
If you're eight months pregnant, kind of put the showgirl want to take a photo with me off for a couple of weeks, you know Wow.
00:06:05.584 --> 00:06:14.451
I'm so happy that we all live in like the Manila Bay or stratosphere, like we're at the end, you know, since most people think that we all live on the strip.
00:06:14.711 --> 00:06:20.249
Oh yeah, you know we live in hotels, but wow yeah, unreal.
00:06:20.249 --> 00:06:21.992
So that that was my weekend.
00:06:21.992 --> 00:06:23.161
I didn't get much golf.
00:06:23.161 --> 00:06:28.975
I am thrilled that US team of Mia, my shaft, showed up today.
00:06:28.975 --> 00:06:34.687
A little reel out there today with the wedges.
00:06:34.687 --> 00:06:39.865
Got the wedges dialed in now Very happy about that, without chipping with them in the backyard.
00:06:39.865 --> 00:06:47.127
Very excited to get those in the bag, as well as the four iron the new level four iron to match my five through pitching wedge.
00:06:47.608 --> 00:06:51.685
So I'm pretty chef's, what UST shafts is it?
00:06:51.685 --> 00:06:52.547
Is it the new ones?
00:06:52.547 --> 00:06:53.970
The the version.
00:06:54.250 --> 00:06:55.622
Yeah, the Dart V is the 105.
00:06:55.622 --> 00:07:01.115
It's a it's a 105 wedge profile, so it's it's.
00:07:01.115 --> 00:07:03.362
Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
00:07:03.362 --> 00:07:03.942
I have the.
00:07:03.983 --> 00:07:05.867
Dart V's in all, in all your clubs right.
00:07:05.867 --> 00:07:06.990
Well, all the irons.
00:07:07.031 --> 00:07:08.382
Yeah, four through what?
00:07:08.382 --> 00:07:10.887
Four through all my wedges, cool Yep.
00:07:11.329 --> 00:07:15.826
Yeah, I definitely start need need to start digging through some new iron shafts, I think personally.
00:07:15.826 --> 00:07:19.923
So, yeah me, I did go up to club champion with Julie in that one day.
00:07:19.923 --> 00:07:27.430
And one of those steel shafts the NS pro, whichever one it is I have a picture of it, but it felt like it could work out for me.
00:07:27.430 --> 00:07:39.906
But yeah, modus, but I'd be, I'd be really curious to try those UST's because they're it the profile it's.
00:07:39.906 --> 00:07:46.565
It's crazy, like I hit yours before and it feels way stiffer and way heavier than it's stamped.
00:07:47.127 --> 00:07:57.805
It is very different compared to the recoils of years past, maybe maybe a Rick will send me his, because we all know that he's not putting those in any golf clubs.
00:07:58.247 --> 00:08:00.331
Well, he did, he did go to the range.
00:08:00.730 --> 00:08:02.954
I know he just took some.
00:08:02.954 --> 00:08:07.848
Iowasker or something I don't know.
00:08:08.550 --> 00:08:11.173
No, I think, yeah, I think you should try them.
00:08:11.173 --> 00:08:16.192
I definitely think you should try them, especially since it goes up to 120.
00:08:16.192 --> 00:08:23.048
Yeah, which the I'm not sure the recall I think the recall is just went to 110.
00:08:23.069 --> 00:08:24.612
The 15, I think 115.
00:08:24.612 --> 00:08:24.952
Okay.
00:08:24.952 --> 00:08:29.254
Think yeah, yeah, but 120 and those probably be really good for me.
00:08:29.737 --> 00:08:36.331
Oh, I think it would be fantastic because I think that's what Greenlee has in his, in those what he was building.
00:08:36.331 --> 00:08:45.081
So, yeah, jeremy's having problems tonight, so probably bank robbery that cashed out his internet.
00:08:45.100 --> 00:08:47.445
Do we, do we know what happened with that?
00:08:47.706 --> 00:08:48.927
I didn't find anything out.
00:08:48.927 --> 00:08:52.283
I had limited internet use.
00:08:52.342 --> 00:08:58.745
I don't like joining Wi-Fi's at hotels when we stay just because with the new show when they host black hat conventions over there.
00:08:59.908 --> 00:09:01.072
Do you say Manila Bay, right?
00:09:01.072 --> 00:09:01.980
No, no, no.
00:09:01.980 --> 00:09:03.885
No, we didn't stay there, we stayed at the carriage house.
00:09:03.885 --> 00:09:06.611
Oh, that's right.
00:09:06.611 --> 00:09:08.243
Yeah, it's a little time it's.
00:09:08.243 --> 00:09:13.817
It's between Planet Hollywood and the Marriott.
00:09:13.817 --> 00:09:20.140
It's a little small, little seven story little building though, but it's got a nice pool and you can walk there.
00:09:20.280 --> 00:09:21.823
So good view of Topgolf.
00:09:23.668 --> 00:09:28.624
No, because you got the signature towers behind it, so we're sandwiched between them, but you can see the nets.
00:09:28.624 --> 00:09:36.892
But, oh, dude, harmon, holy crap, because we picked Erica up at the airport and she says that I want to go by.
00:09:36.892 --> 00:09:39.047
I think it's called unconscious cookies.
00:09:39.047 --> 00:09:40.172
Have you heard of them?
00:09:40.172 --> 00:09:41.879
I have not heard of them.
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.191
It's over there where Shaq's chicken restaurant is on.
00:09:46.230 --> 00:09:48.176
You're talking about insomniac.
00:09:48.456 --> 00:09:52.605
Insomniac cookies.
00:09:52.625 --> 00:09:53.547
Sorry, inconcious cookies.
00:09:53.606 --> 00:10:06.900
We infused Same thing, so we swung in there and then it took us probably an hour hour and 15 minutes to go from paradise and Harmon to cobalt and Harmon.
00:10:07.081 --> 00:10:15.682
Wow yeah, in fact, I slept in that parking lot for five nights one time, which were insomniac cookies is.
00:10:15.923 --> 00:10:16.244
Oh yeah.
00:10:16.945 --> 00:10:23.485
I slept on the ground like, literally like the you know the guys you saw by Popeyes on Flamingo in Maryland.
00:10:23.485 --> 00:10:28.626
I slept in that parking lot on a blanket on the cement for five nights one time.
00:10:29.307 --> 00:10:29.548
Why.
00:10:30.692 --> 00:10:31.654
I came out for shoes.
00:10:31.654 --> 00:10:38.071
Well, when I lost my job, that's how I was making my money was just camping out for shoes and flipping.
00:10:38.071 --> 00:10:42.429
Flipping the shoes for money Back in 2008.
00:10:43.111 --> 00:10:43.692
Was it worth it?
00:10:45.116 --> 00:10:50.653
Yeah, I sold a couple of shoes for, you know, $1,000, you know and they cost like 150.
00:10:51.056 --> 00:10:52.841
Was that the Nike Yeezys or whatever?
00:10:52.841 --> 00:10:54.164
Yeah.
00:10:54.206 --> 00:10:58.587
Yeezys, yeah, I did, I did, that was the store was selling them undefeated.
00:10:58.587 --> 00:11:02.461
It's right there, like two stores down from insomniac cookies.
00:11:02.461 --> 00:11:04.009
It should still be there.
00:11:04.009 --> 00:11:06.058
I was, susie was right there, but they closed down.
00:11:06.058 --> 00:11:14.874
But yeah, we were in the newspaper and everything like they came by took pictures of us, like we saw a dude get tased in the parking lot and a bunch of crazy shit.
00:11:14.874 --> 00:11:16.880
It was good, it's fun.
00:11:16.880 --> 00:11:19.147
I mean, it's a long time to go, but it was fun.
00:11:20.409 --> 00:11:25.923
Yeah, the F1 paving and all that shit are tearing up oh crap.
00:11:26.004 --> 00:11:27.025
Coval was down.
00:11:27.025 --> 00:11:35.614
What screwed it all up is the idiots that are like trying to sneak up on the left turn lane and then cut over, yeah.
00:11:35.614 --> 00:11:44.302
And then there's people that go into the barricaded section and try and sneak in, and so you got no traffic moving and three people.
00:11:44.302 --> 00:11:45.606
It's just insane.
00:11:45.606 --> 00:11:58.230
And then the cops sitting across the street with his arms full to watching it all Like good Lord, all right, we're gaining people on YouTube and then we're dropping them because we're not talking about golf, clearly.
00:11:58.230 --> 00:12:06.267
That's why, hey, it's a Vegas podcast and you know, anytime we get some Vegas chatter, we're going to, we're going to go off on it for a little bit.
00:12:06.267 --> 00:12:10.883
So moral of the story is leave the street performers alone.
00:12:10.883 --> 00:12:13.067
Don't come to Vegas when it's 118.
00:12:14.009 --> 00:12:20.429
Yeah, yeah, yeah and yeah, don't look at really two times in the summer, because that's that's for us.
00:12:20.890 --> 00:12:23.705
Yes, please, you want to talk about flat tires.
00:12:25.427 --> 00:12:25.687
That.
00:12:25.687 --> 00:12:28.961
Yeah, that is a pretty funny story I mean.
00:12:28.961 --> 00:12:32.211
Jeremy was present, so what happened to me?
00:12:35.057 --> 00:12:35.578
I don't know.
00:12:35.578 --> 00:12:37.964
So just just a second.
00:12:37.964 --> 00:12:43.634
So I'm having some internet issues, so if I cut out I'm very sorry, but no problem.
00:12:43.634 --> 00:12:51.168
Basically we were headed to Coyote Springs and Dan and Dan offered to pick me up, so I took him up on it and we were headed out.
00:12:51.168 --> 00:12:54.575
And anyone who knows Dan knows he has a single cab pickup truck.
00:12:54.575 --> 00:13:03.590
We were heading out, we were almost to the speedway and we get a call from Bob and he says he's blown a tire out by the love station on the way to Coyote Springs.
00:13:03.590 --> 00:13:06.938
We're like okay, so we know if he has a spare.
00:13:06.938 --> 00:13:08.421
We're kind of talking about it the whole way.
00:13:08.421 --> 00:13:10.702
So we get there, he, he.
00:13:10.702 --> 00:13:17.410
We just threw it through all their stuff in the back of the truck and they rode in the back of Dan's truck in the bed.
00:13:17.875 --> 00:13:23.881
We were doing about 85 miles an hour to for about 30 more minutes to get to Coyote Springs.
00:13:23.881 --> 00:13:31.150
So we were kind of talking about it throughout the round and then we realized that the back of his truck is going to be about 200 degrees.
00:13:32.035 --> 00:13:35.139
Yeah when we got done, if not more, if not more.
00:13:35.139 --> 00:13:41.870
So we threw all of our stuff in the back and all four of us rode in a single cab pickup truck for about 40 minutes.
00:13:41.870 --> 00:13:45.019
Oh my gosh, I've never.
00:13:45.019 --> 00:13:46.442
I mean, I love the West Brothers.
00:13:46.442 --> 00:13:48.206
I think I love them a little more now.
00:13:48.206 --> 00:13:53.942
Colby's leg was on my lap and Bob was squeezed against Dan.
00:13:53.942 --> 00:13:56.546
It was crazy, but there wasn't much talking.
00:13:56.605 --> 00:14:02.817
It was like I just want to get the hell out of it, but it was a funny story I think I'm most impressed about.
00:14:02.898 --> 00:14:06.981
And now there's no doubt Bob is 100% committed to golf.
00:14:06.981 --> 00:14:11.746
He left his car there unlocked, didn't worry about it.
00:14:11.746 --> 00:14:19.279
It's called AAA called AAA when we were on the whole 15 and said we're going to be there in about an hour, can you send the tow truck?
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:23.615
And we got there and the tow truck had already put the car on the back.
00:14:24.738 --> 00:14:28.748
Yeah, but I talked to Bob when we played roads and he said it couldn't have worked out any better.
00:14:28.748 --> 00:14:38.611
He said that you guys were like 10, 15 minutes right behind them, so swooped him up and then by the time that you guys left Coyote Springs they were there already loaded up.
00:14:38.611 --> 00:14:51.289
When they got back to the car he went to the Ontario spot with the Mexican Tire Joint and it was like NASCAR, like quick done Super cheap and to the point.
00:14:52.255 --> 00:14:57.224
So when we got done, dan asked, like when you just dropped him off so do you have a spare?
00:14:57.224 --> 00:15:01.409
I don't know, I didn't check the whole time.
00:15:01.409 --> 00:15:03.658
Maybe we should have checked if you had a spare.
00:15:03.658 --> 00:15:09.109
If some cars don't come with spares now, they just try to save weight and they just expenses.
00:15:09.109 --> 00:15:11.279
Who knows if it has a spare.
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:12.582
Either way it would work out.
00:15:12.623 --> 00:15:13.405
It's a funny story.
00:15:13.975 --> 00:15:16.840
Dan has helped me out with a flat tire myself to at Sienna.
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:24.115
We played around out at Sienna and came back and my front right tire was just flat Just done.
00:15:24.115 --> 00:15:28.085
So me and Dan changed a flat tire in the Sienna parking lot.
00:15:28.085 --> 00:15:43.120
I tracked it over to the nearest Walmart and because discount tire was closed and yeah, dan has a history of flat tires, but he's usually one helping so that's okay, that's, that's a good thing.
00:15:43.201 --> 00:15:44.644
Yeah Well, it all depends.
00:15:44.644 --> 00:15:51.884
Adam said nice hat Jeremy, he has one too, but doesn't own mirrors.
00:15:52.164 --> 00:15:55.421
Kind of embarrassing, I own mirrors, but they're not currently in.
00:15:55.701 --> 00:15:56.865
You don't play them.
00:15:56.865 --> 00:15:58.431
They're on the shelf right now.
00:15:58.913 --> 00:15:59.615
Yeah, they're on a bench.
00:16:00.056 --> 00:16:06.956
Okay, so did you play the mirrors at Coyote and Rhodes or the Tileless at both places?
00:16:07.037 --> 00:16:10.883
Both places and I can tell you I do love the mirrors.
00:16:10.883 --> 00:16:14.548
The thing that I hate is the long irons are just.
00:16:14.548 --> 00:16:19.899
If I practiced a few times a week and you know, I think they'd be fine.
00:16:19.899 --> 00:16:29.417
But man just playing once a week or once every two weeks, it's really tough to look down at that for iron and confidently think I'm going to hit this well.
00:16:29.417 --> 00:16:34.145
So that's why I put the Tileless back in the back and they are so easy to hit.
00:16:34.145 --> 00:16:41.467
And I told Joe, like man, these clubs are so pure, they're awesome, you can just, you can just swing them and they just go where you want it to.
00:16:41.467 --> 00:16:43.615
But I do prefer the look of the mirrors.
00:16:43.615 --> 00:16:49.565
But I may try to find a more forgiving like a CB version of the long irons and throw those in the bag with the blades.
00:16:49.565 --> 00:16:52.370
But now Tileless are staying.
00:16:52.674 --> 00:16:57.509
And you were telling me there's so many people throwing up three and fours and five irons.
00:16:57.528 --> 00:17:01.239
There is a ton If they're finding out, they're just.
00:17:01.239 --> 00:17:03.825
Is it just not enough metal, you think?
00:17:03.825 --> 00:17:06.501
Or yeah, just precision.
00:17:07.076 --> 00:17:08.057
It's just looking down there.
00:17:08.057 --> 00:17:18.905
I mean, hitting out of the fairway is pretty easy because you feel you can line it up, but hitting out of the some of the deep rough, it's just really hard to get it behind the ball, underneath the ball.
00:17:19.714 --> 00:17:20.900
That's interesting, are you?
00:17:20.900 --> 00:17:21.923
Have you thought about just combo?
00:17:21.923 --> 00:17:23.450
And your title is with them?
00:17:24.155 --> 00:17:32.549
Yeah, I did that and they're just one of them is me OCD, but the other one is the Tileless, just looks so different.
00:17:32.549 --> 00:17:40.630
If maybe the CBs, if I had the title of CBs, they would work, but he 100s, they just feel too different, they don't look right.
00:17:41.155 --> 00:17:47.167
Yeah, I think if you're going to combo and you got to do the mirror combo like the CB is in the mirror.
00:17:47.734 --> 00:17:52.267
Temporarily I could probably do it, and I do have the same exact shafts and same grips in both sets.
00:17:52.654 --> 00:17:54.902
But you don't want to look at that in your bag, you don't want to look at two.
00:17:55.796 --> 00:17:57.842
That's the other part I don't want to look at that.
00:17:57.842 --> 00:18:01.602
Yeah, that, that's a game changer for you.
00:18:01.622 --> 00:18:07.521
You can't it is oh yeah, me and Jeremy were talking about this like the mallet, like I can't.
00:18:07.521 --> 00:18:13.500
We were talking about like we can't look at a mallet putter in our bag, like we don't like the way it looks in the back.
00:18:14.654 --> 00:18:16.279
Yeah, I'd have no problem using one.
00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:21.538
Yeah, it's working well, but I cannot stand looking at a mallet head cover in a golf bag Exactly.
00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:21.980
Same.
00:18:21.980 --> 00:18:25.231
Wow, I did not know that about you guys.
00:18:25.231 --> 00:18:27.221
Yeah, that's kind of silly.
00:18:28.417 --> 00:18:29.982
It is silly, but it looks.
00:18:31.497 --> 00:18:33.780
No, I mean everybody's got their own.
00:18:33.780 --> 00:18:37.208
You know vices and reasons why they don't do shit.
