Boy, the Master's Bet coming up at nine. Someone's gonna have a rough
payoff next week. That's coming up at nine again. Yeah, now speaking,
when's your NASCAR shirt getting worn? Dude? Pay off you for reminding
me it is time to buy that. Yeah. Well the Dayton five hund
was in February. Yeah, so it is time to buy that. I
mean I did buy the photo with me and Bill Elliott and Vin Diesel.
I already bought you a NASCAR shirt with Bill Elliott on it. It wasn't
my size, No one's my size. So here's the thing. As Mike
just said in the break, some of the cards will be shown at seven,
the Master's Bet at nine. Also, I'll tell you what if Joe
follow I'm doing this. I'm doing this. Mike is not promoting this.
I'm promoting this for Mike. If you're gonna take on me and Mike and
some golf action going to Mike's Twitter account, I'll just say that, Yeah,
contests set up at Mike's aroy. That's S I R O I S.
It's not a pretty link, but I think it's last tweet I sent.
Yeah, there's only one hundred spots and a little golf thing. I
think there's thirty last of last night, thirty spots were gone, thirty five.
Now thirty five are gone. So that's fill that up. Let's get
that filled up to one hundred. By the end of the show, sixty
five spots are left. I think it does cost twenty bucks or something.
That's a twenty dollars plan. But you could win. You'd win big bucks,
could win big Bucks, and you could beat me and Mike, which
that's a badge of honor you can wear forever. What huh did you say,
badge? I said badge. I didn't hear that. It was something
different, didn't here, badge. So see if the cards are shown at
seven, maybe that'll help you. Yeah, it's gonna be one name to
win the Masters at seven o'clock and then a big Master's bet. We're putting
together at nine kids this week. Damn it it is and it starts tomorrow,
and I know a ton of people are gambling on it and getting down
getting dirty. He got the ladies, yam, We have got the lady.
I'm getting filthy with it. Mysterious injuries popping up. Oh dude,
did you hear about the wrist? Oh? My god, I've heard about
the wrist. You heard about the fingery. Oh you know, I heard
about the fingers. Hear about the shaft. I don't know. I've heard
about the shaft. I have new Caddie. Oh my, you hear about
the shoulder. This oldes shit. I didn't hear about the shoulder. Good
god, seven o'clock. Pretty excited for seven far Maddie. Did you have
a golf background? O? I do? I played for like sixteen years.
Whoa Christina text me because she heard that she's up. She says,
uh, pretty sure, Maddie is a really good golfer. Just FYI all
right, sixteen years? Yeah, you still play kind of yeah your handicap.
I don't know if you went and played, what would you shoot right
now? If I haven't practiced in a while, so probably shoot like mid
eighties. Hi, I love when they do that. Oh dude, I
suck. I haven't played in forever. I'd probably should, you know,
mid mid eighties, low eighties. Well, let's say, do you like
to gamble when you play golf? I like to make bets on the whole.
I really don't part take in gambling on other people playing golf. But
you're doing other forms of life gambling. I think I tried once and it
was not for me. What's your best best round you've ever shot? Oh?
I think it was seventy seventy four. A little bit above part just
a little bit me too. This look at Maddie seventy four my adult life
in high school, I was just seventy one. But that was high school.
When you've played all the time, seventy four? Dude? Would she
kick our ass? Yes? I want to see this. This will get
me out of the course. This will get you out on Maddie. Just
wipe the nutsacks. God wow, okay, uh. Well, the Ben
and Skin Show and the speakeas you're gonna be at the PGA District in Frisco
right there at the headquarters. It's the Monument Realty PGA District. That's the
that's the title sponsor. But they're gonna be in the top golf lounge Friday.
I'm going out there after the show. I've been told that we could
maybe get on the par three course. Yeah eleven. If that's happening,
I'm in and well yeah, and I even's doing a check on Friday morning.
He's gonna find out if the wireless can extend that far, you know,
we can do some live on the air action because Ben and Skin are
terrible golfers. So we could even do like a two v two type thing.
Yeah, you know, alternate shot Ian. That'd be fun play by
play. Who would you pick as your partner, Ben or Skin? Well,
Skin's a better golfer than Ben, but so yeah, I would pick
Skin. That's a good strategy. But Ben could be good if he would
try it. Ben doesn't have the patience for it. Didn't Ben his Ben
can smack it either admit or get busted. Lubing up his driver, yes,
with magmatics, yeah, he lubing up his driver. Well about that
part, but loubing up his driver, I was gonna let it go.
Well, you did say badge of honor. You did this very segment.
So in golf, Danny, I've never done this, but it's crossed my
mind. I've heard about putting vassaline on your driver. Yeah, if you
lube up vasoline whatever, the front of your driver, the face of the
driver, it gets rid of the spin that you would be putting on the
ball. I don't know how straight it goes, Like if you have a
wicked slice. I don't know if it eliminates half of it or most of
it, but yeah, I guess you just don't really spin the ball.
And the only risky run is I guess someone else touching your driver or touching
the golf ball or seeing it's cover coated in grass or whatever other thing exposes
you. It's highly illegal, right, oh, completely yeah, And I
guess he didn't know. He didn't know. He Kinsler told him to do
it, and then Mike Maddox is like, what do you do? It's
very confused as he's just greasing his driver on the first two A nice smear.
I mean, like it's a bagel breakfast on the weekend. No,
he thought everyone did it. I love that Ken's was behind it too.
Yeah, they should tell that story on Friday from the PGA headquarters because a
few wacky golf stories, uh, the most bats crazy stuff I've ever seen.
Those. We were playing Sandpiper in California right off the ocean and Ben
left after like hole six. He's like, I'm I don't will play anymore.
He just took off uper back to Ventura, like because he's playing bad.
But you know, the most beautiful courses in the world. He's like,
I don't want to do this. I hate golf. It is like
poor Man's pebble beach. Sh It, it overlooked. You were touching the
Pacific. Yeah, it's amazing. He just hates the He hates golf,
but he also likes it. He likes golf clothes and he can like he's
always been very confused. I mean, he just says he's like the one
of bad, not a bad golfer, but a golfer who's uh, you
know, not a top twenty favorite to win a tournament wins. He's like,
so the best guys don't even win. And I'm like, well,
it's golf. It's just different. I don't know, it's it's it's interesting.
So yes, I would pick Skin. That what's wild. I've played,
Like me and Jeff played against Ben and Skin one time. It's weird
because Skin is not very good. But he can and if he practiced and
spent time on it, he could shoot in the high eighties, low nineties.
But he'll play. But he'll if he's got a playing partner, will
coach him like and I'm like, dude, stop giving them advice. You're
just slowing up the round and you don't need to be giving any one golf
advice. I love him, but it's amazing. I'll take Ben. I'll
team up with Ben. I want cash if I need golf advice. Yeah,
Danny is a champion, He's cash on his bag, He's the ding
whisperer. Is that the first ever April Fools Open? Danny's the inaugural April
Fools Open champion. I would have won it back to back and now this
year some guy named Steve one Steve I think Davy one. Yeah, okay,
good at least exactly. Yeah. The team photo was like, huh
were these people? I know that guy and I think that guy grew a
beard, but the rest of you, they said, Davy smashed like a
three hundred yard drive three hundred Oh yeah, homeboy practice and he's got experience.
The problem is is that that that tournament used to be pure. It
was people that have literally never swung a club on a golf course anything other
than putt putt like, and that's that was the case for me. I'd
never been the top golf I've never swung a club and hit a drive.
What cash did that was so effective is he took me out early and said,
grab an iron and just get a smooth swing. Then get you to
hit it straight and let's just do that smart. It was smart. Yeah,
yeah, it was so that's all you hit was just seven irons,
just uh, tortoise. Yeah. The problem was Tom Bridwell. It was
a phenomenal golfer. He was my caddy the next year. He assumed that
I had maybe improved and was trying to get me to do things that a
real golfer would do, and I didn't. I didn't, you know,
I didn't feel the nuances the things that I needed to do, especially in
the short game. He's like a point it right, I'm gonna point here,
and you want to hit it there and it's gonna get about about three
quarter speed. I'm like, yeah, right, what, yeah, you
know what. It's interesting, just simplified the game to a point where it
was it was the tortoise winning the race, where all these other guys are
out there just trying it up. Yeah. We still always have a steady
hand, all right, That's often what's required and nuanced situations. Kevin segue,
I guess we don't need an interrupt for this steady hand. Huh m
hm. First, Boach, she has a steady hand. As he met
with the media last night after the Rangers four to three lost to Oakland,
when Jose Leclerk came in and gave up a two run home run, blew
the game. Okay, I didn't watch any of this last night. I
was locked and locked on MAVs. But I caught the maps and they were
up by twenty five. I know, but I can't stop watching them.
I saw Twitter and you freaking out about the clerk and panicking on April close.
This team sucks. April ninth, This team sucks, and they're leading
the Ale West. Let's see if you have a steady here are they're leading
the Ales or they tied to the leading the Ale West, leading the leading
bro Look, how many games have they played at ten? Go ahead,
Kevin. Look this is worse than usual because this is not the first time
Jose has done this this year. It's the third time he's done this this
year. Okay, Okay, how many times they do it last year?
About a thousand. Actually he was hurt for the good fortune of it in
closing the bullpen last year. Look, I'm sorry I've been watching the Lincoln
Special on Apple TV. I paging Doctor Freud. Amazing, Wow, Wow,
Old days on Masters Week. You know, all right, I don't
think that's part of the reconstruction President Johnson, Kevin not Danius, No,
no, no, I'm just saying, look, it's eleven game or not
even not even ten percent? How long are we gonna do this? We're
gonna do this. Everything's fine always because we won World Series last year?
Is that the thing? Because I'm not gonna come in here every day they
blow a slate, good lord, blow a sage, or lose a game
late, laid in the game and laid in I'm not gonna come here and
listen to you hit the red button for six months. Dude. Okay,
but you know these things are gonna happen. I agree, But a few
a percentage of the season. This is the Cowboys lose their opener because their
kicker missed a thirty one yard field goal for the win, and we would
be freaking out about that. It would be no, no, no,
it would be if the Rangers were zero to eleven. Yeah, well yeah,
there's no I guess there's no great way to do that. But The
biggest concern with the Rangers so far this season through eleven games is the bullpen,
and specifically the closer, who has consistently been poor m H. When
there's other guys who could go. Probably, they'll figure this out. I
don't know that they are. I mean, you heard the owner's comments.
They're not adding to this. They might do something cheap, but they're not
adding a big contract. Well, they're not just gonna keep handing him the
ball to close games. If this continues, they'll figure something out. That's
a boach. You said it's too early, so he said if it was
June, i'd be concerned. It's April. While I was like, well,
I'm concerned. Here's why I'm concerned because after this three game series with
the A's, you get Houston, then you get I think the Tigers,
then you get the Braves. Like, the schedule does not let up,
and we got dudes hurt, and you can't lose to the A's. The
team was actively trying to to lose. Now you'll lose. If you play
the A's ten times, you'll probably lose one of those. Two of those.
But the A's are trying to lose. I mean like that one,
just that one fell a little different. Evan Carter hit a home run to
put you ahead. The offensive struggling Cory Sigrad the night off. Every time
you call someone up, he gets hurt. Foscue gets his first Major League
Baseball hit a couple of games ago and then goes to the d L with
or the I L with an oblique, so they call it Davis Winzel for
his MLB debut last night. You have all these things moving sports, got
hurt injured list. They're not adding another starting pitcher. They're gonna hope that
these guys are healthy in June. It may not matter. In June.
The Astros are still good. I'm not freaking out. I'm really not.
It's just like I have a hard time going to the what we want a
World Series when the clerk's blown three saves. I know that last year was
last year. I know this year was this year. But we did we
did learn some things about a baseball season that we should have probably already known
before last season happened. But it's way too early to be remotely concerned now.
Granted, yeah, if they tank and their bullpen is garbage and it
keeps them out of the playoffs, then you can point back to this moment
Kevin. He goes, SOE, I told you guys, I was right.
But what are you really winning in life with that? Yeah? No,
what do you win? Nobody cares you win if you look back and
say, see, I was right. What this is a million other people
saying I'm looking for I was right. Anything I'm looking for. Everyone's looking
for that. They love that, people love that they do. See.
So there's a moment last night when they summon the clerk and he comes out
of the bullpen, and you know, there's a guy that opens up the
bullpen door. M hmm. On the TV shot the security guard who's opening
up the bullpen door, and they're they're trying to focus in on the clerk
who's about to run out, and the security guard goes, he makes the
throat slash sign and I like the craft, we're about to blow a safe.
He knew the clerk wasn't ready. And when clerk still looks like is
one of Ben and Skin put it a while back. He still looks like
he's seeing Earth for the first time. Every time he's on the description freaked
out, he looks around the stadium, Like, wow, he cues up
the manson lamps. Can't throw a strike into what he does it's t right
down the middle. I mean it is nuts. He does have that like
what just happened to look on his face all the time seventh inning? I
don't know, man, And maybe he gives up runs then. But they
signed David Robertson and they signed Kirby Yates to like help out the bullpen.
It's like, I don't care who closes the game. I don't don't wait,
well, but you gets the A's who are about to play in a
ten thousand person stadium. It's embarrassing. They lost by one round to the
A's. And this is the problem that because they lost last two years,
lost by one run to a major league baseball team. Wow, shocking,
But they've lost three in a row. That's what this is. Yes,
just like the MAVs. Remember when they went on there a little losing streak.
We all couldn't help it, like God, we might need a fire
kid today. Yeah, we try to not be that those people. And
what happened once they added a couple of pieces and got healthy. Now they're
gonna win the NBA championship, right, I worry about the adding pieces thing.
They basically said, we're up against the tax line. And guess what,
people say things until their feet are put to the fire and they have
to make decisions. They say things all the time. But I admire your
guys balanced take on this. I want to be mad about jose La Clerk
for twenty four hours, and I'm gonna I'm gonna wash it away, you
know what. I think. I'm okay with him being mad. You can
be mad. And you know it's a third time in eleven games traces back
to next year. It does seem to be it was a weakness last year
for the majority of the regular season. It turned out not to matter when
it mattered most. But there's no guarantee that that exact thing would happen.
So I understand identifying early season weakness that may need addressing. Yes, but
you are panicking. I'm not paying are panicking. It takes so much.
I'm panicking to repeat. It takes so much to even win, and a
lot of it is luck. It's kind of like coming in here and and
being upset that you didn't win Powerball. Yeah, Kevin, I mean I
did Josh Young getting hurt destroys me A. Dully's had bases, loaded,
no outs and hit into a one two three double play. Ouch, it's
just not you know, it just sucks.
