00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:23.359
all I want to say. We
found some audio. It pertains to you,

19
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:29.599
Kevin Turner, that you're gonna be
shocked to hear on these airwaves.

20
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:34.280
And that's one hour from right now, Kevin. I would say, you

21
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.200

can play it cool if you want.

22
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.959
Apparently you do want to. Will
You'd be singing a different tune in about

23
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:49.239
an hour, my guy, because
the Piranha guy called in. You get

24
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:52.200
the rest of the birth as real
quick. Yeah. Gwyth Paltrow's fifty one,

25
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.319
known more for her vaginal candle than
her acting at this point, and

26
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:01.319
her goop kind of screwed up.
Right, do we all think vaginal candle?

27
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:07.120
Yeah? I mean she's definitely into
other things as well. I got

28
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:12.680
her butt candle. What do you
haven't heart of her anus candle? Oh

29
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:16.759
my god. No, we leave
it to you, Kevin to keep up

30
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:22.199
with such matters. Steve Kurves fifty
eight. What's he know about that?

31
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:27.080
I like Steve Kurves. I'm like
a nice guy. Everybody kind of likes

32
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.800
well, I don't know, maybe
it's any who. I've heard that his

33
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.400
butt candle sales had plummeted in recent
years. He was the king of butt

34
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.759
candle sales until Paltrow launched Hers kind
of blew him off the front front page

35
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:45.039
of Etsy. Stephen Jenkins, a
third eye blind, is fifty nine and

36
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:50.680
suffers from narcolepsy. Etsy one of
us. Huh, yes, he's one

37
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:54.560
of us, and he's done a
great job of raising awareness for narcolepsy.

38
00:02:55.439 --> 00:03:01.280
Better News, Steve Kerr, check
out Mats. Steph was on fire tonight,

39
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:05.800
Clay I played well, could have
Draymond back. He holds this whole

40
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:07.919
thing together And thanks for all for

41
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:14.960

Kerr Asker backslash butt candles. Yeah,

put on. Their higher quality than Gwyneth

43
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:28.080
last longer longer, Wick longer Wick. If you have a minute, I

44
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.560
don't know, that's fine. It
won't be a big goopy wax. It

45
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:36.800
will be a big goopy wax mess
uh meat Love would have been seventy five.

46
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:42.280
It's Danny. I don't know.
I'm gonna be laughing all day at

47
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.280
the concept of the Steve kerr Butt
candle. No reason, no reason.

48
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:51.439
Wilford Brimley would have been eighty eight. He liked dope meal, he hiked

49
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.400
dote mel isn't he the Yeah,
he's the Wilford Brimley line. Who else

50
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:58.520
would be? I suppose? Yes, he's the guy who has Oh,

51
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:01.280
isn't where's Danny? He's probably passed. I passed it years ago. Bro.

52
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:05.120
Yeah, I think he was like
forty six or something like. That's

53
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:08.759
how old was he when he was
in Cocoon. Yeah, he was in

54
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:14.560
his mid late forties. I believe. Okay, forty h turned fifty during

55
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.399
filming, so essentially it's fifty years
old, right, Yeah, he was

56
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:26.279
fifty. He looks seventy seven.
That's incredible. Diabetis Yep. He was

57
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:30.439
a spokesperson for the sugar diabetes.
Yes. If you guys ever see Cocoon,

58
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:32.879
Yeah, I think Cocoon is great. I think it's amazing. I'm

59
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:38.120
really good film, But thirty years
since I've seen it, he should watch

60
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:44.639
cocoon and review it for us.
But you know the Tonight Show nineteen fifty

61
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:46.920
four, it's about to be seventy
years that's been happening. And then the

62
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:50.000
Cleveland Show came out in two thousand
and nine, Danny, that's great.

63
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:55.199
On the list of Danny's impressions,
what here did he come out? Two

64
00:04:55.240 --> 00:05:00.519
thousand and nine? Happy birthday to
me, Cleveland Brown, that's the worst

65
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:04.759
impression I ever heard. That call. We on our shared doc we have

66
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:11.759
a list of Danny's characters. The
one added to it was Barney Rubble the

67
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:19.519
other day, Buddy, that's all
I have. That's it. Somebody on

68
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:25.480
text when we had our rock breaking
guy that called in earlier, asked if

69
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:30.959
Nolan yeah, who won tickets and
called in in our hot New six am

70
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:34.839
segment, what are you doing up? Do you fw? Somebody asked him

71
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:41.160
if he screamed Yabba Dabba do when
he got off work, how did we

72
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.879
miss damn? How did we miss
that? Well done? Text her,

73
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:49.639
he's not barefooting to work and he
slide off the tail of a brontosaurus before

74
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:57.480
he touched out like he's grinding the
rail. Gosh, so dumb. What's

75
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:02.480
two sports? At seven missed opportunity. Let's take up for that. Now

76
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:14.800
say shallow now seven, all right. Sports at seven today is brought to

77
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:19.519
you by Crap. Crap. It's
in your pants. It happens over the

78
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:24.720
weekend, and sometimes you just don't
know where to put it. People want

79
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.600
more of it, and at the
same time they can't wait to get rid

80
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.839
of it. It's in your garage, it's in the floorboard of your car,

81
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.680
and it's often on your mind.
Let's face it, it's everywhere.

82
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:40.000
It's time to change the way we
look at crap. Go to crap dot

83
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:45.160
TV, Slash Coffee and learn more
about how you can spread the word about

84
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:54.079
crap awareness, crap, Lean into
it, thanks crap, lean into it,

85
00:06:55.519 --> 00:07:00.399
appreciate it. Crap I had sixty
seconds. You get to read thank

86
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:06.680
you, a good tagline. Almost
lean into it. Rangers still two and

87
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:11.160
a half game lead in the AL
West. The best case scenario they lost

88
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:15.439
yesterday. They lost but the Mariners
one, which meant that those two teams

89
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:18.319
kind of just stayed static and they're
leading to and Alf. Those two teams

90
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:23.240
are over there playing with each other, feeling around each other's privates while the

91
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:26.800
Rangers are they can just lose and
it's no big deal. I think it's

92
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:30.519
a three game or magic number to
clinch a playoff spot for the Rangers,

93
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:32.920
Okay, and I think it would
be, and I could be wrong,

94
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:38.680
and maybe you lessen that, and
I believe it's DL West are still in

95
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:41.199
there here and they win to night. Here's the big news for the Rangers,

96
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:46.720
and then we'll move on to Ryder
Cup one O one. Scherzer was

97
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:50.000
originally expected to need eight to twelve
weeks of rest to heal this major strain

98
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:55.399
in his forearm. Well, he's
been playing catch. I've been flicking it

99
00:07:55.639 --> 00:08:00.839
and here's what he said yesterday.
It's another step forward. I'm continuing to

100
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:05.040
strengthen my arm. Throwing off the
mound is close. He is working his

101
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:11.399
ass off to get back and it
may be dangerous and it could screw up

102
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:15.519
his arm for next year, but
he wants to pitch in the playoffs this

103
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:20.879
year. Our hetero chrome hero is
gonna come strutting onto that field. Kind

104
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.079
of love him, I love it, kind of love him. Well,

105
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:28.639
I mean no dates on and even
a guess when, like deep into the

106
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.439
playoffs, we need to win a
series. I don't know it does we

107
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:33.759
don't know. I don't know.
I think that means it's such a he's

108
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:39.559
a war daddy. That's what Chris
Young was like, saying that, you

109
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:43.639
know, oh yeah, well he's
done for the season. Or does that

110
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:50.039
mean the season the postseason? What
does that mean? Uh? That's why

111
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.120
Church when we played the audio of
it two weeks ago at we gotta get

112
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.159
into more, right, we gotta
we gotta get this checked out and see

113
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:58.799
what it is like. Everything is
like an urgent matter with him. I

114
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:03.840
just love it. So there's that
Rangers again late night tonight against the Angels,

115
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:09.080
against the Angels tomorrow, and then
three with Seattle. There are five

116
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.279
games left in the regular season and
they are getting close to clinching and anything

117
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.399
goes on clinch night. Guys,
Ryder Cup is this weekend. When I

118
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:24.840
get home from Trees on Friday night, if you're seeing Electric six a great

119
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.720
band, when I get home from
that, I'm gonna get home, probably

120
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:33.919
a little little buzzed, and I'm
gonna turn on NBC and I'm gonna watch

121
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:39.480
the Ryder Cup, my number one
sporting event of all time, and it's

122
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:41.200
not even close. I love that. You love it so much. There

123
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:46.159
is no number two. It's one, and then there's like the seventh favorite.

124
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:50.120
It's so good. Yeah, and
right when it starts on the first

125
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:58.559
day is pretty damn juicy. Two
warning for everyone out there and Danny Friday

126
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:03.639
morning to be distracted. I'm with
you. We're gonna have it cranked up

127
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:09.440
in here. Yeah, watching our
boys. How do we want to do

128
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:11.799
Ryder Cup one on one? What
are we doing? Remember, Danny knows

129
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:13.000
what it is. He's not a
nay yet, but I think he has

130
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:20.159
questions. We have information where the
golf bullies. Yeah, well the Ryder

131
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.759
comack you around all knowledge? Ye
before Danny asked questions. Let me just

132
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.480
get this out of the way.
You just don't answer any of my questions.

133
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.799
All right, But I shall say
the Ryder Cup is not golf.

134
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:37.000
The Ryder Cup is about patriotism.
He's right, it's going to play golf.

135
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.279
It's like anyone who got golf.
It's a big display of flags.

136
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:46.440
Oh, it is the biggest play
of flags and outfits. Yeah. For

137
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:52.639
the people that do that stuff.
Yeah, Okay, you're just saying that

138
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:54.799
you hate America. Okay, I
mean, if you want to be that

139
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:56.440
guy that's on you. You're the
one who's gonna put your head to the

140
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:05.159
pillow. If you hate the troops, that's on you. That's something you're

141
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.320
gonna have to deal with. And
you can look yourself in the mirror.

142
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:13.639
US First Europe Danny. Danny questions, shall we hit me? All right?

143
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.080
Let me get my list. Okay, let's start a list. Question

144
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:22.840
number one, how long has this
thing been going on? Nineteen twenty seven,

145
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.720
Danny? What the first ever Ryder
Cup? It was matched with the

146
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.679
US against Great Britain. That's how
this began. And then and I think

147
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.000
it was nineteen seventy three, I
believe Great Britain team was officially changed to

148
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:41.879
Great Britain and Ireland because Great Britain
was like, these Irish dudes are pretty

149
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:43.039
good, we need a couple of
them on board. And they actually played

150
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.360
on Team Great Britain before they made
that change, and then it was it

151
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.919
was a Great Britain in Ireland for
a few years. The nineteen seventy nine

152
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:56.559
the GB and I as it was
called, squad was expanded to include players

153
00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:00.279
from all of continental Europe, which
is what we see today. You s

154
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:05.159
versus Europe love it Okay, So
in America, a lot of the tournaments

155
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.360
kind of have a father of the
tournament. You know, you have the

156
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.399
Buick Open, I guess which was
tiger Woods big tournament. Who would you

157
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:18.360
say is the father of the Ryder
Cup. Who was the guy that was

158
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.159
the big proponent maybe even came up
with the idea? Where did it originate?

159
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:26.279
And why seven Valsteros was one of
the guys who is seen as the

160
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:33.279
big I don't know, promoter of
it even. And then on the American

161
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:35.720
side, it was in the modern
era. Modern era I'm talking about the

162
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.720
origin of came up with the idea
for this. It had to have been

163
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.519
it was God on some level.
It was God. And then the troops,

164
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:48.879
sure the idea two men. I
know it's named after English businessman Sam

165
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.840
Ryder. Samuel Ryder. He donated
the trophy, which is a very iconic

166
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.440
trophy as well. We're going to
get to the Claret Jug in a moment.

167
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:01.120
Guys, well that's not what this
is. This is not the Claret

168
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.799
Jug. But yeah, I don't
know. I mean, that's the dude

169
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.399
who's it's named after. I don't
know. I think they were golf in

170
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.120
their asses off in the twenties and
said let's do a little team competition,

171
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:16.360
settle it. Yeah, but in
the modern era, Sevy, well that's

172
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:22.120
who I mean that it's Sevy was
started in nineteen twenty seven. It's been

173
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:24.320
going on for a very long time. But you're right, in the modern

174
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:28.519
era, the guys we think of
is the face of the Europeans, fior

175
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.200
Euros. Yeah, and there's a
thought for a long time that it means

176
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:37.279
more to the Euros because American golf
dominance has been a thing for a lot

177
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:43.200
of decades generally speaking, and Americans, to some in the world, even

178
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:48.320
golf were unrelated, are considered selfish
and more interested in themselves. So the

179
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:54.639
team aspect is really embraced by the
Europeans. But okay, next question,

180
00:13:54.840 --> 00:14:01.799
what kind of pageantry should we expect
big events like Super Bowls, World Series.

181
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.240
They bring out celebrities, they bring
out luminaries, What kind of what

182
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.480
kind of pomp and circumstance is going
to be surrounding this tournament, if any

183
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:15.440
at all. Well, the biggest
celebrity they'll have is probably just somewhere near

184
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.759
the first team column. Montgomery is
just over there eating a bowl of pasta.

185
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:26.279
Jiggling his man breasts. Hut Kevy
is gonna be there. I know

186
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:31.360
you get a press pass. Yeah. I don't know that there's celebrity involvement

187
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:35.080
that you can count on, but
what there is is the highest level of

188
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:41.840
fan involvement and engagement. You will
have synchronized chants galore. Anytime they play

189
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:46.159
this stuff in Europe, which they
are this year in Rome at Marco Simone,

190
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:50.639
we will have scores of people decked
out in exact outfits, matching outfits,

191
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.639
singing, doing chants. And I
get to say, Europeans destroy US

192
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:00.440
fans as far as chance go.
Ours is more of just a drinking show

193
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:07.080
here in America and over there they
have. It's very coordinated, it's very

194
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:11.200
it's just more intense, I would
say, yeah, but it's just the

195
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:13.639
number one thing that you don't think
about this in golf much. It's just

196
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:18.559
the idea. A guy hits a
shot into the bunker for the other country

197
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.000
and everyone goes yeah, they're cheering
in his face, and a guy for

198
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:26.360
your team rips it down the middle
of a fairway and you're going hot dog

199
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:31.159
and everyone jelling, and it's just
it's just amazing. It's all the whole

200
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:35.440
thing, because every single point matters
for this team aspect, that's what matters.

201
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:41.720
Yeah. That brings me to my
next question. What determines I know,

202
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:46.080
this event happens every two years,
correct? Yeah, okay? What

203
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:50.240
determines the location? I think they
go back and forth between Europe and the

204
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:52.639
United States, they alternate. Yes, Well, what determines what course that

205
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:56.600
it's going to be played on?
Is there a bidding situation? Is it

206
00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:00.399
already predetermined years in advance of where
these events are going to be? The

207
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.799
Ryder Cup is going to be held, do you but by a long time?

208
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:08.480
Ye? But what constant? I
mean who who makes those decisions?

209
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:12.840
God? God, I actually don't
know that. I give up. I

210
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:18.559
don't know. Is it the PGA
OF and the U and the RNA,

211
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:22.360
I mean they work together, This
is a this works for both. Yeah.

212
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:25.440
I mean they are rewarding courses with
this. I mean it's much like

213
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:27.559
assigning a major to a course.
I mean, it's it's a good thing,

214
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:30.200
you know, I mean everyone.
I don't think it's very combative.

215
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:37.120
I mean they're trying to award venues
with the honor of hosting the Ryder Cup,

216
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:45.080
which is massive do the venues themselves
lobby Okay, that's our new headquarters

217
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.080
in Frisco's lobbying to get it in
twenty thirty nine or twenty forty one,

218
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:52.120
I believe, and it could be
earlier than that. Twenty thirty one and

219
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:55.279
twenty thirty five are both on accounted
for it right now. But yeah,

220
00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:59.039
Bethpage Black in New York will host
the twenty twenty five one. That is

221
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:02.120
the Black Course. It's, of
course so hard. They have a sign

222
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:07.200
on the front that says regular golfers
don't come around here, like, don't

223
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.440
play these teas, you don't belong
here. It's kind of cool, like

224
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:12.640
it's a famous hard course. But
we get to see some cool European courses

225
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:17.559
that aren't in the British Open Roto, which tends to be the only courses

226
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:21.200
that US American fans know are the
ones in the rotation for the British Open,

227
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:25.680
Right St Andrews that like the famous
courses Troon and all this, so

228
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:29.160
they jump out. We've remember seen
Marco Simone. I haven't. It's probably

229
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:32.960
on the euro Tour or on the
DP World Tour, but that's in Rome.

230
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:36.480
There's a course in Ireland twenty twenty
seven. That's that's kind of cool

231
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:37.559
that we'll be able to see for
the first time. So yeah, I

232
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:42.440
mean, it's certainly a ward to
host this thing, and but how that

233
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:45.240
actually shakes out, I'm not positive. Okay, let's do a little speed

234
00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:49.279
round. How has lived impacted the
field this season or that for this tournament.

235
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:52.720
Well, Dustin Johnson was not ranked
as the top golfer, so he

236
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:59.599
couldn't automatically automatically qualify Brooks Kepka is
on the team, Bryson d Shambo is

237
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:03.000
not. There's a feeling that there
could be some politics involved there because Justin

238
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:06.440
Thomas, who is on the tour, was selected. But he's a friend

239
00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:11.480
of everyone's, including Tiger Woods.
But Zach Johnson is your Ryder Cup captain

240
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.079
and he is a PGA Tour loyalists, so it does feel like he would

241
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:18.799
probably shun most of the live guys
either way. The live guys were not

242
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:22.359
going to get automatic bids because they
were not getting PGA Tour points in the

243
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:26.039
top six of the twelve people on
the team are automatic bids based on their

244
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.279
tour points. Don't make sense.
It made it harder for live players to

245
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:34.640
automatically qualify, they essentially couldn't,
so they have to be so good that

246
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:37.000
the captains would have no choice but
to leave him off and keepco is the

247
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:41.000
only one that fit that category.
Okay. Two more, how much do

248
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.640
players make for participating and or winning
the Ryder Cup? Free? Nothing?

249
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:52.160
Do they cover their expenses? Yes, there's no monetary benefit. This is

250
00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:55.559
simply for national pride. Yes,
that's one of the things that makes it

251
00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:59.720
awesome. I agree. The only
time you're not just playing for yourself,

252
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.880
you're playing for the partner that you're
paired with or obviously singles is Sunday.

253
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:07.079
But yes, it is a whole
different sport, which time it's cool to

254
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:10.480
go to work and not get paid
seriously? Okay, which brings me to

255
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:12.759
my final question, and this is
the big one that I think most people

256
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:18.960
that are just kind of casual golf
viewers that don't maybe know much about the

257
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:25.640
Ryder Cup want to know what makes
the gameplay different than a typical PGA event

258
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:30.079
like the Masters, US Open,
etc. Why is the Ryder Cup different,

259
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:34.160
How does it work? How is
it structured? Tell me, well,

260
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.559
the the format of play is different. It's not just one hundred and

261
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.920
fifty six people playing golf against each
other. They partner them up, so

262
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:47.839
you basically get two guys going off
against two other guys, two Americans versus

263
00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:53.400
two Europeans, okay, and you
have six per okay. But they go

264
00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:57.240
out to eight at a time,
basically the four teams at a time,

265
00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:02.079
so there are four points on the
line every time they go out. So

266
00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:07.200
there's two sets of play on Friday, two sets of play on Saturday.

267
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:11.279
Don't understand what you mean? Two
play Friday morning. Yeah, they're gonna

268
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:15.960
play two on two, right,
and it's foursomes or four ball the first

269
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:21.000
one morning four it's foursomes and that's
all right, Actually that's yeah, that's

270
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:23.079
foursomes, which is alternate shot.
So they're gonna go out there on the

271
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:26.920
first tea, which i'll tell you
about tomorrow because there's some amazing quotes about

272
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.640
the first tea. It's called the
most terrifying shotting golf. And all these

273
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:36.720
dudes who are these legends of golf
cannot put the ball on a te their

274
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:40.599
hands are shaking so bad. But
they're gonna go out there Friday morning into

275
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:44.240
this cauldron at Marco Simone and it'll
be two on two. It'll be two

276
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:48.200
Americans versus two Europeans, and they're
playing alternate shots. So let's say that

277
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:52.559
the two Americans are whoever Speth and
Thomas right, ye, Speth teas off

278
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:56.240
first, Thas second takes the second
shot, Speth hits the third, back

279
00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:00.920
and forth and then and from that
point it's eighteen holes and you just play.

280
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:04.680
Then it's match play. So if
if the Speth and Thomas make a

281
00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:11.440
par let's say, and then the
European team of Stepstraka and ludvig Aberg make

282
00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:17.079
a bogey, the US is one
up. And no matter how much you

283
00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:22.440
win that whole bud Yeah. And
if if Sepstraca pumps it out of bounds

284
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:23.880
and then they retee it, and
then he puts it in a lake and

285
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:26.200
then they drop it, he hits
in a bunker, and the US is

286
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:30.799
on the green right by the hole
in two, the US the European team

287
00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:32.839
can concede. You don't even have
to finish the whole. You're like,

288
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:34.119
oh, well, you win the
hole, pick him up and a wash

289
00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:37.400
is a wash. Push yeah,
I'll square, And each team gets half

290
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:41.799
a point. So there's four matches
going on. At once, and they'll

291
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:45.680
flash the leaderboard or the scoreboard up
on the graphic and you'll see the American

292
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:52.440
flag or the European flag based on
who's winning up or whatever. And you

293
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:55.359
get a point for each of these
matches. So there's four matches in the

294
00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:59.799
morning, four matches in the afternoon. Saturday, there's four matches in the

295
00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:03.680
morning, four matches in the afternoon. Sunday, there's twelve one on one

296
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:07.359
match matches. Is it all about
points? All that? It's all about

297
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:10.920
winning your match play battle and winning
a point. The best you can do

298
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:15.640
is win one point, and the
team wins. Like that, the country

299
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:18.759
wins, the region wins on at
the end of the all the golfing's done

300
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:23.000
on Sunday. What determines the winner
of the Ryder Cup. So there's twenty

301
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:26.799
eight total points. You have to
get fourteen and a half points to win,

302
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:30.400
Okay, So whoever gets to fourteen
and a half wins the Ryder Cup.

303
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.759
Now is this a person or is
the no team the team? Yeah,

304
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:37.440
there's four. Yeah, there's twenty
eight total points and all the stuff

305
00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:41.920
he just said, including twelve points
available on Sunday, and whoever gets to

306
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:44.400
fourteen and a half wins. Now, if it's a tie, which has

307
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:48.000
happened, the team that has the
Ryder Cup retains it. So if they

308
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:52.720
tie fourteen to fourteen, which does
happen, the US, who's who won

309
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:56.759
at Whistling Straits and the last Ryder
Cup here in Wisconsin, would would retained

310
00:22:56.759 --> 00:23:03.119
the Cup and essentially win the Ryder
Cup. US is not one in Europe

311
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:08.759
since what ninety two, a long
ass time. Europeans have dominated US over

312
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:11.680
there. For sure. We just
now won two years ago. We won

313
00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:15.680
for the first time in a long
time, and this is good, like

314
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:19.119
a historical landmark that goes back,
that involves Tiger and phil And maybe we'll

315
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:22.880
talk about that tomorrow and might give
us a little bit of information about the

316
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:26.480
course, and I might ask for
more clarity on the structure and the gameplay,

317
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:30.000
because I still don't feel one hundred
percent like I understand it sounds like

318
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:33.079
the games change every day. Yes, yeah, so it's like three different

319
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.200
types of Golf's three different types of
golf. And there's a chance you don't

320
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:41.640
even finish the eighteen yeah. Yeah. If if your team is four up

321
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:45.400
and there's only three holes left,
there's no point what can you possibly do?

322
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:48.279
And then you turn around to do
it again that night. Yeah,

323
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:51.839
and you switch partners if you want. If you did really good, you're

324
00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:55.880
gonna stick with your partner. If
you didn't, Zach Johnson's and the squad

325
00:23:55.920 --> 00:23:59.000
are going to change partners. Some
people sit out those first two games.

326
00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:03.240
They don't even play those first two
days because there's there's what eight guys to

327
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:07.640
play, so you don't have to
play. Yeah, you might not play

328
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:10.799
at all until your singles match Sunday. Sometimes, Yeah, some guys won't

329
00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:12.519
because some guys are on the team
probably shouldn't be on the team. Yeah,

330
00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:15.640
like a very bad form, or
if you just got your balls blown

331
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:18.759
off, They're like, all right, you ain't playing in the afternoon.

332
00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:22.720
I don't understand singles match. Can
we hit that up off at the top?

333
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:26.160
Absolutely, real quick. We're called
the golf bullies, but we're friendly

334
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:30.279
and we want you to like I've
ever met. We didn't even take my

335
00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:36.240
lunch. Yeah, exactly, that's
next. Plus, oh my god,

336
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:38.359
also, can we get next to
the scuttle butt. I've got something very

337
00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:41.759
interesting involving the new video board at
the American Airline Center. I saw it

338
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:44.359
last Night Next. On Night seven, won the Freak
