Friday 7, 8, 45 yeah, that would fuck me up.

00:01:39.969 --> 00:01:40.350
That would.

The good news is I got all my my checkups back for secure for uh surgery clearance.

We have a lot of fun.

00:03:56.881 --> 00:03:59.509
We've had some really good interactions the past few weeks.

00:04:03.586 --> 00:04:10.906
The rankings episode, I think, kind of jived a lot of people and, uh, when they tuned in, they saw how interactive it can be.

00:04:10.906 --> 00:04:14.360
Uh, we've, you know, ever since we've done the live stream.

00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.048
That's what we've we're aiming for, that's what we want.

00:04:17.048 --> 00:04:19.259
We want the people to interact with us.

00:04:19.259 --> 00:04:21.942
We, we want to get different opinions on what people have to say.

00:04:21.942 --> 00:04:22.863
And you?

00:04:22.884 --> 00:04:23.524
know next time.

00:04:23.704 --> 00:04:48.985
Next time we should label that episode uh, your favorite course sucks that is yes that is, that is I'm gonna I'm gonna write that down your favorite course sucks, because that is basically what most people thought when they when they watched and or listened to that.

00:04:49.928 --> 00:04:52.620
Uh, are you guys ever going to talk about the new drivers that just dropped?

00:04:52.620 --> 00:04:56.310
Uh, we will, once they're officially out there.

00:04:56.310 --> 00:05:02.084
Um, I have, of course, some insight on the callaway stuff, but can't really say a lot about it.

00:05:02.084 --> 00:05:06.333
Uh, the leaked photos and the conforming list that stuff comes out and people see it.

00:05:06.333 --> 00:05:12.031
It's getting a lot of hate, which that's fine by me.

00:05:12.031 --> 00:05:19.312
Hey, if you know what I probably wouldn't like the looks of it based on a really shitty image.

00:05:21.382 --> 00:05:23.209
I haven't seen the colored picture either, have you?

00:05:23.209 --> 00:05:24.761
I mean, you've seen it.

00:05:24.761 --> 00:05:26.742
They're all black and white.

00:05:26.762 --> 00:05:27.564
I've seen one.

00:05:27.564 --> 00:05:32.509
Yeah, it's got a Joe's background yeah it's very Costco vibes.

00:05:32.509 --> 00:05:34.632
You guys got a little Christmas vibe going on there.

00:05:34.632 --> 00:05:35.052
I like it.

00:05:36.274 --> 00:05:37.154

Wilson's got the new one, which the wilson one looks really good.

00:05:56.041 --> 00:06:00.939
Uh, I think it has one of the best looking, you know from the preliminary photos.

00:06:00.939 --> 00:06:07.273
Um, the sms on tour, the guy that does a lot of the european what's in the bag stuff.

There was some amazing deals.

00:06:54.194 --> 00:07:08.093
We wanted to bid on a whole bunch but we kind of went for close to home but not close to home and uh ended up getting two really good looking privates up in payson, arizona.

00:07:08.093 --> 00:07:15.233
It's a little bit north of I thought it was near flagstaff for some reason the courses, but it's actually in payson, which is just a little north of the phoenix area.

00:07:16.057 --> 00:07:17.081
Uh, chaperone pines.

00:07:17.081 --> 00:07:19.245
Yeah, yeah, I thought one was in flagstaff.

00:07:19.245 --> 00:07:22.994
No, they're both in payson, they're both right across.

00:07:23.380 --> 00:07:24.803
We're almost right across the street from each other.

00:07:25.285 --> 00:07:27.050
Oh, nice, okay, what's?

00:07:27.069 --> 00:07:27.209
that.

00:07:27.230 --> 00:07:27.370
Joe.

00:07:27.370 --> 00:07:33.086
I said we're not playing the one I wanted to play, not if it's in Flagstaff.

00:07:33.949 --> 00:07:34.490
It is in Flagstaff.

00:07:34.490 --> 00:07:35.752
We can stop in Flagstaff.

00:07:36.014 --> 00:07:36.875
We can stop in Flagstaff.

00:07:36.875 --> 00:07:37.396
It's private.

00:07:37.396 --> 00:07:39.721
Though it's private, hey, we'll start reaching out.

00:07:39.980 --> 00:07:45.086
We'll start reaching out now Start to slime in those DMs, Joe.

00:07:45.367 --> 00:07:46.627
I think it's Pine Canyon.

00:07:46.627 --> 00:07:47.548
Is it Pine Canyon?

00:07:47.569 --> 00:07:51.312
Pine Canyon Pine Canyon yeah, that's the really sick one with the 19th hole.

00:07:51.913 --> 00:07:54.036
Yeah, I'm sure there's a crypto trader that's a member there.

00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:56.084
Yeah, joe, no, let's leave that at home.

00:07:56.125 --> 00:07:57.129
Let's leave that at home.

00:08:00.221 --> 00:08:01.663
So Chaparral Pines and the Rim.

00:08:01.684 --> 00:08:02.625
I'm also not a trader.

00:08:02.625 --> 00:08:03.487
I'm not a trader.

00:08:03.487 --> 00:08:04.048
I know.

00:08:04.048 --> 00:08:04.750
Investor.

00:08:04.790 --> 00:08:10.473
I'm an investor, investor chaparral pines and the rim those the two courses, will be playing.

00:08:10.473 --> 00:08:19.045
So if anybody that is listening or a fan of the show or on any of the live streams has played any of those courses, throw a little tidbit our way.

00:08:19.045 --> 00:08:20.069
Let us know how we did.

00:08:20.069 --> 00:08:22.901
Uh, you know two private courses in that area.

00:08:22.901 --> 00:08:24.567
It's 5 000 feet in pace and two.

00:08:24.567 --> 00:08:25.189
That's another thing.

00:08:25.228 --> 00:08:45.600
I wasn't sure um, so that's gonna be hitting it 225 yeah, baby, yeah, with new knees, with new knees actually, jeremy could attest I was driving the ball very well on sunday it's probably one of my best off the t days in a long time.

00:08:46.682 --> 00:08:49.750
Good yep, uh, I'm glad I didn't wait for the new callaway.

00:08:49.750 --> 00:08:53.307
Was on the fence for the last few months because I knew it was coming out but wanted the triple diamond max.

00:08:53.307 --> 00:08:55.546
Got the opportunity to get it for the cheaper price, had to do it.

00:08:55.546 --> 00:08:56.409
Yeah, that's a great.

00:08:56.409 --> 00:09:00.484
Actually, jeremy was playing the triple diamond max on sunday.

00:09:00.484 --> 00:09:03.028
Uh, what, what did you?

00:09:03.028 --> 00:09:03.710
What did you think?

00:09:03.710 --> 00:09:03.950
Jay?

00:09:03.950 --> 00:09:12.452
I, I know what you thought because I was there, but tell these guys because they weren't so I I feel like I I don't know that I gained distance.

00:09:12.533 --> 00:09:14.383
I think I hit it about the same as mine.

00:09:14.383 --> 00:09:29.765
I do think it's more forgiving than the, the tsr3 which of course tsr3 is not the most forgiving driver, but once I got the loft dialed in and it's still an adjustment to get used to the looks, but I like it I think I'd play one.

00:09:29.765 --> 00:09:30.970
I'd put one in the bag.

00:09:32.702 --> 00:09:33.405
You were hitting it.

00:09:33.405 --> 00:09:35.164
I mean, you hit some great shots.

00:09:36.020 --> 00:09:38.442
Yeah, high, and just little draws.

00:09:38.442 --> 00:09:39.967
Little baby draws, which is great.

00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:43.565
Not the big loopy draw that we normally see with Jeremy.

00:09:43.585 --> 00:09:50.811
It was a nice little little piercer yeah, I think that I think that the ai smoke, like, is pretty special.

00:09:50.811 --> 00:09:52.313
I think it's a special club like.

00:09:52.313 --> 00:10:05.043
I don't know, I haven't hit the new one, I don't know what the differences are yet, but I think the ai smoke is a pretty special driver and, uh, if you, if you see it on a good deal, you probably should grab it.

00:10:05.043 --> 00:10:08.211
Uh, you can go see Matt or Juju get fitted for it.

00:10:08.211 --> 00:10:09.142
Still Right.

00:10:09.682 --> 00:10:10.445
Oh yeah.

00:10:11.187 --> 00:10:16.327
But yeah, I, I love mine, I, I mean, it's my favorite driver I've ever had, I think.

00:10:16.327 --> 00:10:20.028
So it's, it's a great club, great club.

00:10:20.652 --> 00:10:21.235
Dan, you're going to.

00:10:21.235 --> 00:10:23.162
Are you going to do what you were talking about doing?

00:10:24.663 --> 00:10:27.725
Well, my driver, the triple diamond max, shows up tomorrow.

00:10:27.725 --> 00:10:33.532
So that's fully committed and we'll see.

00:10:33.532 --> 00:10:38.677
I'll let you know about the next time I see if I got new irons or not All right, all right.

00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:44.240
So we got three of the four of us are playing Callaway drivers.

00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:47.625
Three of the four of us are playing the Wilson golf ball.

00:10:47.625 --> 00:10:54.183
It's getting close, it's getting close, you know, we're, we're, we're there, we're getting close, we're getting close.

00:10:54.183 --> 00:10:59.200
So I also, at Revere, uh played a different seven iron.

00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:05.572
I got within the AI 200 and, uh, just to test it out out, uh, I've got some shafts coming from la golf.

00:11:05.572 --> 00:11:09.125
Thank you, nick, for helping me uh, facilitate that.

00:11:09.125 --> 00:11:10.990
I'm gonna try the.

00:11:10.990 --> 00:11:12.852
I've been playing the l series.

00:11:12.852 --> 00:11:21.022
I'm gonna try, uh, the a series and in a little bit lighter flex and see if I can help get the ball up in the air a little bit.

00:11:21.022 --> 00:11:23.429
Uh, with a different kick point on that shaft.

00:11:23.932 --> 00:11:45.163
And also it was funny because you guys all know this my irons, I hit them low, I hit them low and, um, steven jackson showed up on sunday and he didn't have the adeles in the bag and we asked him you know what's, how come you're playing the adele's?

00:11:45.163 --> 00:11:46.100
And he says you know what they?

00:11:46.100 --> 00:11:48.645
Just they come off the face really low.

00:11:48.645 --> 00:11:50.590
That was like they do.

00:11:50.590 --> 00:11:52.600
I would agree with you on that.

00:11:52.600 --> 00:12:01.600
Uh, so I was happy to see when I did hit that seven iron much higher ball flight with that ai 200.

00:12:02.001 --> 00:12:12.731
Um, I hit some shots that I did not think I would have got the distance that I got out of it with the Adele and the Adeles and the AI 200s.

00:12:12.731 --> 00:12:14.024
They are lofted the same.

00:12:14.024 --> 00:12:20.606
I strengthened the loft on the Adeles to be better for me and that's what the AI 200s are.

00:12:20.606 --> 00:12:23.519
So I'm excited.

00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:28.302
I'm excited to see, with the LA la shafts, what, what, how that club performs.

00:12:28.302 --> 00:12:37.126
It's going to be a little while before I get to figure it out, but I mean, for me a little while is two weeks, not like three months that some people can't play.

00:12:37.126 --> 00:12:42.645
So would like to get a shaft fitting with juju, then denali cameope.

00:12:42.645 --> 00:12:45.592
But just curious if I could game something from the better shaft.

00:12:45.592 --> 00:12:48.644
Only way to find out Come check it out.

00:12:48.644 --> 00:12:49.184
I responded.

00:12:49.405 --> 00:12:50.187
I responded, did you?

00:12:50.648 --> 00:12:53.313
Okay, good, oh yeah, absolutely.

00:12:53.313 --> 00:12:59.711
We don't have any public fittings right now, but we can schedule stuff at Las Vegas Superstore.

00:12:59.711 --> 00:13:01.125
We can schedule stuff at Topgolf.

00:13:01.125 --> 00:13:03.688
We can schedule stuff at Dragon Ridge coming soon.

00:13:03.688 --> 00:13:07.301
Schedule stuff at top golf.

00:13:07.301 --> 00:13:08.222
We schedule stuff at dragonwood coming soon.

00:13:08.222 --> 00:13:08.985
So cool, hit us up, let us know.

00:13:08.985 --> 00:13:10.307
Uh, me or juju will definitely help you out.

00:13:10.307 --> 00:13:12.230
Uh, boyd says what does boyd say?

00:13:12.230 --> 00:13:16.024
Here was laughlin ranch, the smoke turning point for matt and joe.

00:13:16.024 --> 00:13:17.307
If so, you're welcome.

00:13:17.827 --> 00:13:20.712
Uh I don't think so.

00:13:20.712 --> 00:13:22.341
I it was a turning point for you.

00:13:22.381 --> 00:13:27.125
Maybe I think, yeah, it was it, it was, it was for me, cause I, I mean, I hit it really well and that intrigued me.

00:13:27.125 --> 00:13:28.330
That intrigued me.

00:13:28.330 --> 00:13:37.451
So I went and did some digging and did some data points and some swings and and, uh, yeah, okay, thank you.

00:13:37.451 --> 00:13:39.140
That would you want.

00:13:39.140 --> 00:13:39.902
Do you want to thank you?

00:13:39.902 --> 00:13:41.082
Thank you, matt.

00:13:41.123 --> 00:13:42.764
Yeah, thanks, matt Boyd.

00:13:42.764 --> 00:13:45.469
You're the greatest guy that has ever played golf.

00:13:45.469 --> 00:13:47.551
Man, you're the greatest person I've ever known.

00:13:47.551 --> 00:13:51.176
You are just absolutely spectacular man.

00:13:55.299 --> 00:13:56.984
You are my world, matt Boyd.

00:13:56.984 --> 00:13:59.067
He sent a message earlier today.

00:13:59.067 --> 00:13:59.830
It was hilarious.

00:13:59.830 --> 00:14:01.111
Where did he go?

00:14:01.111 --> 00:14:01.634
Where did he go?

00:14:01.634 --> 00:14:07.328
He said, matt, if you need a, massage.

00:14:07.408 --> 00:14:08.250
Joe is your man.

00:14:09.774 --> 00:14:12.927
Yeah, but you got to hit me up on Facebook first.

00:14:13.460 --> 00:14:16.609
It said Matt and Jeremy Stephen is being a bad influence on me.

00:14:16.609 --> 00:14:17.552
I'm teetering.

00:14:17.552 --> 00:14:22.269
So Stephen chimes in lab is better than Scotty.

00:14:22.269 --> 00:14:24.647
He said ouch, them are fighting words.

00:14:24.647 --> 00:14:27.182
And I said said the lab putter won't fix your shanks.

00:14:27.462 --> 00:14:30.749
So uh, he actually putted.

00:14:30.749 --> 00:14:34.020
Not, he didn't putt, terribly the thing that was working.

00:14:34.422 --> 00:14:37.168
Yeah, it's no, no, I mean.

00:14:37.187 --> 00:14:37.928
So what putters?

00:14:37.928 --> 00:14:38.971
It's like it's not.

00:14:38.971 --> 00:14:42.784
It's not what's better, it's what works for you, so get over all that shit.

00:14:42.784 --> 00:14:46.172
Yes, that's true 100%, it's a paintbrush.

00:14:46.172 --> 00:14:47.053
It's a paintbrush.

00:14:48.802 --> 00:14:50.187
What irons was Steven playing?

00:14:51.330 --> 00:14:51.772
Spiritsons.

00:14:51.772 --> 00:14:57.389
Oh okay, he's got a combo set of the ZX-5 and 7s.

00:14:58.572 --> 00:14:58.792
Okay.

00:15:01.740 --> 00:15:03.288
Well, that's your hack.

00:15:03.288 --> 00:15:06.046
He says how about the new lab, mallet putter?

00:15:06.046 --> 00:15:18.179
So, uh, mr jackson, yeah, it would have been with him on sunday had fedex not done a typical fedex move and went.

00:15:18.179 --> 00:15:20.586
There's a delay in your shipping.

00:15:20.586 --> 00:15:23.461
It's been in vegas for 24 hours and we don't know where the fuck it is.

00:15:23.461 --> 00:15:28.910
So, um it, it showed up while we were playing, otherwise we would have would have seen it.

00:15:29.071 --> 00:15:54.525
But if any of you out there follow the breakfast ball, the my other ig account that is related to the breakfast ball website, the golf blog that I started back in 2009, mainly been a review site for the past I don't know six, seven years and years, and, uh, I've kind of got away from it because I've been running a golf league and doing a podcast and, you know, putting kids through high school and college.

00:15:54.525 --> 00:15:58.822
So it's kind of taken a step back and I'm kind of at a conundrum what I'm going to do with it.

00:15:58.822 --> 00:16:10.926
And uh, so I I was thinking I wrote an article today, just kind of like where my headspace is with that, and I'm thinking about doing.

00:16:10.926 --> 00:16:15.494
I called it, what did I call it?

00:16:15.494 --> 00:16:16.294
What did I call it, jeremy?

00:16:16.294 --> 00:16:20.043
I can't even remember the words.

00:16:20.043 --> 00:16:20.666
It was hilarious.

00:16:22.548 --> 00:16:23.410
Visual pollution.

00:16:23.971 --> 00:16:24.594
No, no, no.

00:16:24.594 --> 00:16:29.389
Brutally honest, brutally honest, Brutally honest golf reviews, yeah.

00:16:29.389 --> 00:16:37.995
And so I reached out to Steven and I said, hey, I'm thinking about doing something different with the reviews on the breakfast ball.

00:16:37.995 --> 00:16:44.366
And I sent him a screenshot of brutally honest golf reviews and he's like, yes, let's do it.

00:16:44.366 --> 00:16:47.655
So he's like, yes, let's do it, so he's game.

00:16:47.655 --> 00:17:02.488
So, uh, I may, I may, meet up with him on thursday, if possible to, uh, you know, shoot a little footage and get some, get some hands on it and see, oh yeah I think it looks way better than the others.

00:17:02.508 --> 00:17:02.948
Should I switch over?

00:17:02.969 --> 00:17:03.188
here to.

00:17:03.208 --> 00:17:04.811
YouTube, so I didn't see the replay about the shaft.

00:17:07.260 --> 00:17:10.284
Oh, Hit up Matt or hit up Juju.

00:17:10.284 --> 00:17:15.749
Yeah, hit up at Juju Build Shop or at my so-called golf life.

00:17:15.749 --> 00:17:17.811
They are fitters for Callaway.

00:17:17.811 --> 00:17:22.395
You can schedule a fitting with them at the Las Vegas Golf Superstore, dragon Ridge, kono.

00:17:22.395 --> 00:17:32.609
Hit either of them up and they will get you dialed in thanks joe, just your neighborhood crypto man.

00:17:33.431 --> 00:17:41.265
Uh, yeah, so, hopefully, hopefully, uh, I've, I've got, uh, the new municipal golf shoes.

00:17:41.265 --> 00:17:51.984
Uh came in and uh, so that I think might be the very first brutally honest golf review that I do.

00:17:51.984 --> 00:18:02.334
Um, and I don't know, I was having a good discussion with cliff about this, because cliff is the only one who voted no on my poll of uh if this is needed or not.

00:18:02.861 --> 00:18:04.426
Yeah, cliff's brutally honest.

00:18:04.426 --> 00:18:07.633
Very, very, and he had some very valid points.

00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:21.564
He had some very valid points and so I, you know, in order, you know, and I've been doing reviews for a long time and the golf space has changed dramatically, you know, ever since COVID.

00:18:21.564 --> 00:18:29.153
Just, you know, brands have learned how to do marketing better on their own instead of relying on other people to do it for them.

00:18:29.153 --> 00:18:34.849
They have a little bit more control of what gets put out and I think it's a very effective marketing strategy.

00:18:34.849 --> 00:18:40.866
You know, print media or blogs, they are dinosaurs right now.

00:18:40.866 --> 00:18:51.189
There's just not a lot out there that are still going strong like there was 10 years ago when everybody had a golf blog and everybody was doing reviews.

00:18:51.769 --> 00:18:57.608
Youtube has changed the game tremendously and that's one of the things I said in the article.

00:18:57.608 --> 00:19:08.634
You know, I, I love writing, I love creating, I love taking pictures, I love doing all stuff, but it also sucks because it's a lot of work for not a lot of attaboy.

00:19:08.634 --> 00:19:26.193
You deal with some companies that are amazing and I said I cherish the friendships more than the free gear that I got for doing the reviews, Because I've met some incredible, amazing people and have some, still to this day, fantastic friendship going back 10, 12 years.

00:19:26.193 --> 00:19:36.535
But you know I, I don't have the time nor the crew to do a video review on a lot of stuff.

00:19:36.535 --> 00:19:48.545
I don't have the access to the golf courses that we'd like in order to do it, I don't have the funds to play golf as much, to shoot as much as I'd like to, and the editing it's just.

00:19:48.545 --> 00:19:50.750
It's work, man, it is work.

00:19:50.750 --> 00:19:54.506
So I told Cliff, I said you know, I want to do something different.

00:19:54.506 --> 00:19:58.009
I'm not looking to disrupt the space.

00:19:58.009 --> 00:20:03.028
There's reviews out there and the people that do them, that are successful right now, kill it.

00:20:03.028 --> 00:20:08.612
Much kudos to them, hats off, keep doing it, keep doing it.

00:20:09.259 --> 00:20:25.087
But, that being said, I think there is a lot of restrictions these writers put on themselves to maintain a positive relationship with these brands, and I understand that because I've been there.

00:20:25.087 --> 00:20:28.063
I've been told you can't say this.

00:20:28.063 --> 00:20:29.445
You need to say this.

00:20:29.445 --> 00:20:31.509
This needs to be your focus point.

00:20:31.509 --> 00:20:32.412
You know.

00:20:32.412 --> 00:20:44.248
And with receiving goods like that, yeah, you got to stay under that umbrella, you got to stay under their window, obtaining the shit on our own.

00:20:44.248 --> 00:20:53.586
I't have that and you know it sounds like brutally honest is going to be only bad shit to say.

00:20:53.586 --> 00:20:55.189
And and that's not true.

00:20:55.189 --> 00:20:58.883
I'll tangent it with this real quick and then we can get on to the other stuff.

00:20:58.883 --> 00:21:00.907
I saw a clip.

00:21:01.028 --> 00:21:11.115
Some guy was talking about uh uber and he said that you know the stigmatism that Uber has right now, that is, if it's not five stars, it sucked.

00:21:11.115 --> 00:21:12.780
And he said and that's just not true.

00:21:12.780 --> 00:21:22.833
He said, you know, if you get in an Uber ride, unless they have water, unless they pull your bags out of the trunk, unless they offer you a breath mint, it's not a five-star ride.

00:21:22.833 --> 00:21:29.692
There's people that are going above and beyond and those people deserve a five-star ride.

00:21:29.692 --> 00:21:31.686
There's people that are going above and beyond and those people deserve the five-star reviews.

00:21:31.686 --> 00:21:32.018
So he says I'll, I'll get in the I'll, I'll hop in a car.

00:21:32.018 --> 00:21:38.275
The guy pops a trunk and says see ya, you know, no water, no, no breath mint or whatever, and it doesn't help me get my bag out.

00:21:39.118 --> 00:21:39.820
Okay, three stars.

00:21:39.820 --> 00:21:41.523
And they're like Whoa, what was wrong?

00:21:41.523 --> 00:21:42.826
Nothing was wrong.

00:21:42.826 --> 00:21:44.691
It was a good ride, you know.

00:21:44.691 --> 00:21:46.094
But was it five stars?

00:21:46.094 --> 00:21:47.821
No, it wasn't.

00:21:47.821 --> 00:21:57.509
And so I think, and even with the reviews that I've done, it's very easy to say something's amazing, something's outstanding, something's fantastic, something is a game changer.

00:21:57.509 --> 00:21:59.207
Game changer is a word I use way too much.

00:21:59.207 --> 00:22:16.946
So I kind of want to dial it back a little bit and and have have a spot where I can say things brutally honestly that hey, this is a good driver, this is not the best driver in the world, this is not going to shave 10 strokes off your game.

00:22:16.946 --> 00:22:21.961
It's a good driver at 700 is way fucking overpriced.

00:22:21.961 --> 00:22:35.846
You know um, stuff like that it doesn't always have to be bad, you know what's so funny is I remember something is bad I'm gonna say it instead of having my hands cuffed because that's not accepted.

00:22:36.426 --> 00:22:57.723
So go ahead what's so funny is I remember I watched, like, this little mini documentary, dan, you know, um, between uh, it was about chinese food restaurants and it was like I've never ate at like a bad chinese fast food or chinese restaurant that was rated between three and four stars.

00:22:57.723 --> 00:23:02.624
Like for chinese restaurants, the sweet spot is between three and four stars.

00:23:02.624 --> 00:23:08.946
You know, you know, because you know you're you're, you're taking Chinese takeout.

00:23:08.946 --> 00:23:11.397
There's no customer service who gives a fuck.

00:23:11.397 --> 00:23:13.625
Right, like you're not going to get a five star out of this.

00:23:13.625 --> 00:23:18.804
Some you know, picking it up and there's plexiglass and they, they don't give a shit.

00:23:18.804 --> 00:23:20.446
You know they're just giving you a bag.

00:23:20.579 --> 00:23:31.410
But yeah, and it's kind of funny, like some of the best Chinese food I've had is between three and four stars on Yelp for Google, for other people that are psychotic.

00:23:31.410 --> 00:23:44.948
But you know it's funny, though, because a rating is so subjective by so many people and you really got to dive deep into the criteria of what people are rating those things on.

00:23:44.948 --> 00:23:47.596
So it's like it's one person's perspective.

00:23:47.596 --> 00:24:03.261
You know it's not, it's not the population's perspective, and that's where it comes into fruition, like it is your brutally honest opinion on one thing and that can vary between person to person absolutely, absolutely.

00:24:03.342 --> 00:24:07.923
And cliff, you know, says here uh, I think there's a isn't really a lot of bad equipment anymore.

00:24:07.923 --> 00:24:08.596
That's the hard part.

00:24:08.596 --> 00:24:10.022
Very, very true.

00:24:10.022 --> 00:24:19.228
Technology has made incredible advancements in in presenting, you know, mediocre equipment as really good equipment.

00:24:20.095 --> 00:24:34.651
So also MSG makes food taste better, so you know, I have access to a track man or not trackman, to foresight now, or gc quad, so I have, I have access to a little bit more data so I can dig into that a little bit more.

00:24:34.651 --> 00:24:40.005
I have a lot more knowledge on the fitting side of things so I can dig in a little bit deeper.

00:24:40.005 --> 00:25:03.060
You know, and and it doesn't always have to be about equipment you know there's, there's uh, shoes and hats and apparel and you know, uh, I wouldn't have a negative thing to say about this roebuck, roebuck, roebuck, uh, azalea hoodie, um, except that they're not available because they sell out so fast.

00:25:03.060 --> 00:25:08.548
You know, um, so we'll see, we'll see.

00:25:08.548 --> 00:25:13.260
You know the, the municipal shoes I I told these guys they killed it.

00:25:13.823 --> 00:25:16.551
It's, it is a fantastically comfortable golf shoe.

00:25:16.551 --> 00:25:31.816
The tread seems great, it feels great walking around in it, but the laces suck ass and I just don't understand how you can have 98 of a shoe near flawless and then screw up the laces.

00:25:31.816 --> 00:25:36.404
So I mean, but and that will be, you know, a brilliant.

00:25:36.404 --> 00:25:37.528
That's my take on it.

00:25:37.528 --> 00:25:48.048
You know some people will go, hey, these laces are sick, but yeah, so so we'll see, golf is not very different.

00:25:48.107 --> 00:25:54.709
It's the people and how the swing a club yeah, yeah, I mean, it's just.

00:25:54.868 --> 00:25:58.618
I mean, everybody swings club very differently, everybody likes different golf courses.

00:25:58.618 --> 00:26:10.920
Every golf course is different, every pin position is different, every day is different, and that that's the thing, man, that's, that's the dj ryan is in the house.

00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:11.161
What's?

00:26:11.260 --> 00:26:14.506
up mr utah golf utah golf.

00:26:14.506 --> 00:26:17.536
How many, how many decks have you sold over?

00:26:17.536 --> 00:26:19.178
How many martinis did you make today?

00:26:19.818 --> 00:26:21.079
oh, he is.

00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:23.202
That man is living the life, boy.

00:26:23.202 --> 00:26:26.747
Good, good grief.

00:26:26.747 --> 00:26:28.990
Oh, man was just in tokyo for a week.

00:26:28.990 --> 00:26:31.953
Gosh, hey, you're doing.

00:26:31.953 --> 00:26:39.747
You're doing all right there, right, don't let anybody else tell you different not that they need to go crash his saint george uh, airbnb thing.

00:26:41.436 --> 00:26:44.560
That's what we need to do, ryan, let us come out there, we'll go play golf.

00:26:44.560 --> 00:26:46.462
Let us just stay at your place.

00:26:47.345 --> 00:26:52.836
We'll take care of it, don't worry about it all right, um, so I said I'd mention roars here in a little bit.

00:26:52.836 --> 00:26:57.209
Uh, we got an episode of fitter builder player coming up.

00:26:57.209 --> 00:27:09.009
Roars has been doing something that is pretty unique and, uh, I don't want to, I don't want to let too much out of the bag, but he gets to fit across all makes.

00:27:09.009 --> 00:27:15.248
You know they're not Shell Bay, isn't a Callaway facility.

00:27:15.248 --> 00:27:16.800
They have everything there.

00:27:16.800 --> 00:27:34.923
He has accounts with every brand, every manufacturer, every shaft, every grip, so he has quite a fitting arsenal and he has been putting together data over the last year and, uh, we're going to be putting some of that out on the next episode.

00:27:34.923 --> 00:27:42.835
So if you're a data junkie, a geek junkie when it comes to numbers, it's going to be a great one to tune into.

00:27:42.835 --> 00:27:46.984
And then also, we'll keep it with shelby and roars.

00:27:46.984 --> 00:27:48.477
Did you guys watch breaking 50?

00:27:48.477 --> 00:27:51.423
Yeah, I haven't watched it?

00:27:51.664 --> 00:27:59.426
I have not watched it yet, but I saw that they were at shelby yeah, so the tom brady, uh, bryson breaking 50, the final episode of his season.

00:27:59.426 --> 00:28:01.676
One of this was shot at shelby.

00:28:01.676 --> 00:28:08.948
I see roars in the background of one of tom's videos, not bryson's videos, he's hanging out there when they were having the driving contest.

00:28:08.948 --> 00:28:26.063
Um, but, uh, very, very challenging golf course, uh, water everywhere, small fairway, small greens, uh, and there were some putts that were crazy, yeah that they had to hit on that.

00:28:26.063 --> 00:28:28.047
So, uh, check that out.

00:28:28.047 --> 00:28:47.045
And then on tom brady's channel he's got the driving contest where they they gave bryson, uh senior flex, a ladies flex, a regular flex and a stiff flex driver and, uh, he had to try and outdrive tom brady with tom brady's own personal driver and he came very close to doing it.

00:28:47.045 --> 00:28:50.164
So it was, it was a good watch.

00:28:50.164 --> 00:28:59.776
And then the other thing, on bryson, he got his hole-in-one he did, he did, yeah, he did, he got his hole-in-one I.

00:28:59.916 --> 00:29:07.108
I really wanted to see him get up to 35, 40, 50 shots, but yeah 16.

00:29:07.108 --> 00:29:16.987
But did you have you guys seen that account that does the drawings, that breaks down all the numbers for sports?

00:29:19.896 --> 00:29:21.563
Okay, I'll make sure to add them.

00:29:22.776 --> 00:29:26.467
I'll make sure to add them to the show notes.

00:29:26.467 --> 00:29:29.625
It's just hand sketchinging and they go over numbers.

00:29:29.625 --> 00:29:31.040
They did the F1 race in Vegas.

00:29:31.040 --> 00:29:47.244
They do baseball, basketball, all kinds of different sports, but they broke down what he did as far as growing social media with his two and a half million views per reel that he was posting on.

00:29:47.286 --> 00:29:48.748
That it's, it's crazy.

00:29:48.748 --> 00:29:54.007
So I'll, uh, maybe I'll look at that real quick during the commercial break and have it when we get back.

00:29:54.007 --> 00:30:05.566
So, uh, and then other news the lpga is in search of a new commissioner, and I think that's all I got greg norman.

00:30:05.566 --> 00:30:08.410
Every time I see something with Greg Norman, it seems like he's gone.

00:30:08.410 --> 00:30:11.743
And then there's a new story about Greg Norman leaving two weeks later.

00:30:11.743 --> 00:30:12.767
What?

00:30:12.767 --> 00:30:13.878
What is up with Greg Norman?

00:30:15.163 --> 00:30:18.181
Who knows, I don't even really know.

00:30:18.181 --> 00:30:24.864
I just saw something like he's not going to be the what's his title with live anyway, I don't know it's changed.

00:30:24.864 --> 00:30:25.425
Manager.

00:30:25.425 --> 00:30:30.413
Hasn't it Manager or cheerleader or something like that?

00:30:30.413 --> 00:30:30.615
Yeah, yeah.

00:30:32.676 --> 00:30:32.856
Who knows?

00:30:32.856 --> 00:30:36.563
Yeah, I saw Tony Finau pulled out of the tournament.

00:30:36.563 --> 00:30:38.405
I think he's heading.

00:30:39.186 --> 00:30:40.167
Oh yeah, that was something.

00:30:40.167 --> 00:30:41.230
I had written off to the side here.

00:30:41.230 --> 00:30:50.944
Liv, yeah, tony Finau rumors of him creating a 14th team with Liv and him going that route.

00:30:51.645 --> 00:30:52.307
Get it while you can.

00:30:52.307 --> 00:30:53.579
I mean it's going to come together.

00:30:53.579 --> 00:30:58.163
I mean at some point there's no doubt about it in my mind, like it has to A 14th team.

00:30:59.446 --> 00:31:02.117
Yeah, I don't even know if that's right.

00:31:02.117 --> 00:31:03.300
That's what I read.

00:31:03.300 --> 00:31:04.824
I don't know, do they have that many teams?

00:31:06.207 --> 00:31:06.627
I don't know.

00:31:06.627 --> 00:31:08.496
That's what I read.

00:31:08.516 --> 00:31:10.058
