00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:10.119
You're listening to the downbeat. On
ninety seven to one the free A bunch

2
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:15.279
of Texters said to look up Icon
of the Seas, which was Royal Caribbean

3
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:20.120
Cruise. That we're just talking about
the cholera. How you said, cholerale

4
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:29.480
cruise that they wouldn't let doc near
Mauritius. Icon of the Seas just entered

5
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:33.840
service January twenty seventh, twenty twenty
four, so one month ago today.

6
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:38.640
That's a freshy, a big freshy, the largest cruise ship on earth.

7
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:44.320
They ordered two Icon series, one
to be delivered late last year, which

8
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:48.960
was this one, and one more
in twenty twenty five as the two new

9
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:54.079
largest in the world. Cost just
over two billion to construct. The amount

10
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:58.280
of people on that ship is over
three times the amount of people that live

11
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:02.960
in the town that I grew up. Yeah right, yes, that's about

12
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.040
the town. Yes, as of
only it takes them a long time to

13
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.439
build these things. They build them
overseas and then finally give them to roll

14
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.040
Caribbean. They outfit them hard,
make them beautiful. This thing has an

15
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:19.159
ice skating rink. What the only
thing that was missing was clean water?

16
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:26.480
Fifty six or no, seventy six
hundred passengers. Maximum capacity this one was

17
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.719
they said it only had thirty one
hundred total people on it, including crew.

18
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:36.120
I found that amazing that the crew
was only out number two to one

19
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:41.040
passengers to crew. That's about what
this is. Well, if you go

20
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:42.920
mac this new one, this icon
of the sea, seventy six hundred passengers,

21
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:49.719
twenty three hundred crew. If you
go maximum capacity, bananas, crazy

22
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.760
stuff going out out there at SEEA. You guys, yeah, we may

23
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.959
have another story, another story of
that includes a disaster at sea. Disaster.

24
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:04.319
Yeah, if there's one tease you
know works, it's disaster at see

25
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.159
what times Stingers Morning News Today,
eight thirty, eight thirty. You might

26
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:14.159
hear that tease at around A twenty
four twenty, very loudly and authoritatively say

27
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:16.759
disaster at sea and then we'll go
to my when I ever live spot I

28
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:21.280
have come. You know who's turning
the radio off when you hear that tease?

29
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.560
Nobody? No one, No one
person. What about the classic Ben

30
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:31.319
Rogers Te's tragedy at UAB No one
usually gets people to stay too. Oh

31
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:37.639
yeah, after you said it was
very clear like oh that's gonna be can't

32
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:42.479
cut and saved that's the best form
of drops is taking people's teases and just

33
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:50.800
keeping them for years. Yeah,
seven years later, disaster at sea thirty

34
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:53.759
almost eight o'clock and clocks can be
GameStop gonna be juicy, but right now

35
00:02:54.080 --> 00:03:08.800
this sevennight and now lord, hey, somebody else real quick said my dad

36
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:13.159
played in the house fan on a
cruise ship and banked big dough. Yes,

37
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:19.560
big dough interesting, so interesting.
Maybe I need to look into the

38
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:24.479
world. Me and you Okay,

00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.960
my services a couple of segments ago, yes, and I haven't answered yet.

41
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.319

47
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.479
so yeah. If you missed it
earlier, got a bunch of vote ninety

48
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:08.080
seven on the freak signs and there's
a big contest to post it on Twitter

49
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:12.759
and Instagram and everywhere and Facebook,
and you have a chance to win some

50
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.800
money and stuff like that, and
a trip for you and three friends,

51
00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:19.360

drive up here. No one's gonna
pick you up. We'll have a big

53
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:28.720
drawing. But if you go post
these signs at polling locations and post you

54
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:30.839
know, your picture proving that you
did it or a video, then you'll

but you'll have five a chase to have

58
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.279

about one hundred signs, so your odds

59
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.199

63
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.680
have a big party on the air. What a great idea, cool idea,

64
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:10.240
Kevin. That's Kevin's idea. I

00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:13.079
I can have three. I can
has three. I can give you as

66
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.000
as you want, just three.
You know, I don't. I don't

67
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.480
want to take away from people that
are actually, you know, really really

68
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.160
want them. I just I want
to put one in my yard. Yeah,

69
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:26.319
that'd be fun. Two places to
see us to get them today and

70
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:29.000
then if I hope I don't have
any left over tomorrow, I hope we

71
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.879
get rid of them today. You
have ninety ninety seven of them after I

72
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:38.079
get mine. That although freak Jesus
did say set us five for me,

73
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:42.720
these are going to be littering your
home for the remainder of your time living

74
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.000
there. I do fear that I'll
help you get rid of them. So

75
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:49.399
today you're gonna put one in your
yard? Yeah, that'll be fun,

76
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:53.439
and it will be fun. I
don't wan people to know what about you,

77
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:56.199
Kevin? Are you gonna put one
in your yard? I don't want

78
00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:00.480
people to I'll put them my neighbors
there. Put one in your yard across

79
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:01.839
the house. Are you not proud
of what we do? I don't want

80
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:04.639
people know where I live. No
one's going to know it. You don't

81
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:09.319
know when you had nothing in your
house anybody wants. Yeah, it's not

82
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:14.399
like there's a string of dishwasher thieves
Roman Richardson right now. Yeah, if

83
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:21.480
they catch me, commonary and it's
just be weird crap. So what ten

84
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:26.680
to noon today, coming down to
the lobby at the station, if there,

85
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.560
if we're not down there right at
ten, I don't know it just

86
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:36.639
south iHeart on the building fourteen thousand
and one. What is it North Dallasway

87
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:41.959
dark right between the toll way and
in Wood. Yeah, can't miss us.

88
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.240
Absolutely. We'll probably put a couple
of signs out there, right,

89
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:46.800
that'd be a good idea. That
might be a good plan. But then

90
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:51.000
so I could just take it.
It's one sign. Here's yeah, I

91
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:55.759
really didn't The tallying doesn't happen until
you've posted it online. And then five

92
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:59.839
point thirty to six tonight in Irving
at Alamo draft House, I'm gonna take

93
00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:02.120
a haul him out there. I
hope I don't have to. I hope

94
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.480
y' all can get him before noon
today. And I don't make it that

95
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:09.279
on my draft house. That could
happen too. So there it is a

96
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:12.839
chance to win stuff. Check the
for official rules and details. Check our

97
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:16.040
post on Facebook and Twitter. Let's
start out real quick. In sports,

98
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:21.199
So Dallas Morning, I'm sorry.
A four star Telegram Clarence Hill wrote this,

99
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:28.040
The Cowboys want running back Tony Pollard
back, but at a much cheaper

100
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:31.199
price. So if last year they
franchise tagged him, gave him ten million

101
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:38.000
for a one year deal, and
they said that he is basically coming back.

102
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:40.360
They thought at the end of the
year that he was back from his

103
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:44.240
leg injury. They're like, Okay, he's back to what he was.

104
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.319
I think it'd be great to keep
him. They're not down on him,

105
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:53.759
and they want him to return.
So it's a chance that Tony Pollard is

106
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.600
here again. The franchise tag number
would be twelve million. They're not going

107
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:01.399
to do that. It won't happen. So he can sit here and go,

108
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.480
okay, I could take the Cowboys
playing a low ball and take five

109
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:07.800
million dollars. Any why do that? Or he can go you know,

110
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:13.439
I'll see if the Giants want me
at eight million dollars because Saquon Barkley is

111
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.120
free. Is that one of the
ways. Did you just say that I

112
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:20.439
apologize if you did Giants because I
heard Ben Skin tease Tony Pollard talking to

113
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.800
another NFC's rival, or heard somebody
tease that on in here the segments.

114
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:26.839
I did not know that he was
talking to another rival. I have not

115
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:30.879
heard that. Okay, in the
free agency's March thirteenth, so were two

116
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.720
weeks away, or so two plus
two and a half weeks away. I

117
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:39.000
don't know if you saw the RG
three tweet yesterday. I didn't. Yeah.

118
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:45.480
RG three tweeted out that the Cowboys
should jump on signing. Then that's

119
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:48.200
where that's where National went. Okay, Yeah, I didn't know. It's

120
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.360
stemed from RG three. National's going
because the Giants, same situation, gave

121
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.919
Saquon a little deal last year.
Yeah, he got franchise tag last year

122
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:00.360
for a little over ten million.
And Josh Jacobs is the other of the

123
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:03.279
Raiders, same thing. Raiders are
going to try to sign him, but

124
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.080
they're not going to give him the
franchise tag. You also will have Derrick

125
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.120
Henry who will be free. You
also will have Austin Eckler of the Chargers

126
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.679
who will be free. I don't
know how much Eckler's got left as in

127
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:18.039
terms of a running back you know, he's more of your past catching guy.

128
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:22.159
You know Pollard get last or last
year the franchise tags of ten million

129
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.639
dollars and it would be twelve this
year. If you wanted to tag him

130
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:31.120
again, I would. I found
him largely unimpressive last year, as everybody

131
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:35.519
else did. But I thought he
was good at the end. You know,

132
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:37.039
he was Him and Gallup were both
good at the end, like a

133
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:41.639
year after their I don't even say
it was good. He was fine.

134
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:45.120
He was serviceable. That he was
nothing more than serviceable if you look at

135
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:48.279
the season in total. You know. I was talking to someone about this,

136
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:50.039
Oh yeah, it was the podcast
to do about them cowboys on the

137
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:56.840
Athletic and with my buddy John Michoda
and Kent Garrison and sad Yusef and John

138
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:00.879
Michoda was like, well, look, if they like Rito doubt Rico dubtell

139
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.799
enough, they just need to get
a guy with some size. And I

140
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:05.240
was like, Okay, Well,
if we're gonna just talk about getting a

141
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:07.879
guy for size, then you just
draft a six rounder. I can get

142
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.960
a running back that has size and
pay him minimum wage if that's the way

143
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:16.440
we're gonna do this, Like I'm
cool with that. I vote for that.

144
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:20.679
And we've tried pay running backs in
some form for a long time,

145
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.559
including franchising Pollard, and we obviously
the Zeke thing well I'll never forget.

146
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.399
We've also run out some no names
and see how it really looks. We've

147
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.879
also tried not paying running backs,
which led to your Joseph Randall and you

148
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.919
know Darren McFadden year's which the McFadden
year was fine, that got hurt,

149
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:43.080
you know, I mean, I'm
sorry, you know, Romo got hurt

150
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:45.399
that year. It's twenty fifteen.
I suppose it matters what they did to

151
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:48.480
bolts for the old line for me
more than I agree. You know that

152
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:56.960
money sent to Tony Pollard that could
be used in are we getting tiring back

153
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.720
or are we doing Tyler Biattish m
hm. There's a lot of things you

154
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.799
gotta figure out there. Or they're
probably gonna draft of the probably drafting off

155
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.120
its Vineman in the first round too, and they usually do good at that.

156
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.120
But it's some sexy names if you
take one Barkley, Josh Jacobs,

157
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:18.519
Derrick, Henry Eckler even or they're
all available. Some other names. DeAndre

158
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.440
Swift of the Eagles, who's good
like Eckler. Aj Dillon would be your

159
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:26.879
guy of size if you wanted him
to kind of be a partial running back

160
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:31.279
one. I wouldn't do that personally, but if you're like and one on

161
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:37.799
of the Cowboys gonna push for though
brings it back? No, I mean,

162
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.399
z Heke's getting like two million to
play for the Patriots. Why wouldn't

163
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:43.919
he come back for here? For
two million? Who's the starter? Then

164
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:50.159
ric o'daddell ric o' daddle start,
Oh my god, it doesn't. But

165
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:56.080
Rico's good. My point is Jerry, with the the high profile names that

166
00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:03.639
you just listed, I think it's
completely within the realm of possibility, even

167
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:09.759
maybe leaning toward probability, that he
goes after one of the bigger names.

168
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:16.000
Were the other ones you listed?
You said, Henry Henry or Josh Jacobs

169
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:18.919
or Austin Eckler, But couldn't you
see that happening? I mean, Jerry

170
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:22.440
wants to go for it. This
is the year. He keeps saying it.

171
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:24.879
He says that every year, but
yeah, this is really really the

172
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:28.720
year. But someone's gonna pay Saquon
a good amount. I think someone It

173
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.159
might be Jerry. Dude, there
are some teams like the Cardinals who have

174
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.120
just cap space out the Wazoo,
who are just like, yeah, we'll

175
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:41.799
give a big name. I personally, outside of Saquon, I think Tony

176
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:46.240
Pollard is the best one of all
of them. So I would do that.

177
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:52.679
But they're not gonna get They've they've
almost certainly earmarked four million dollars in

178
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.039
budget for running back or something like
that. You know, like, there's

179
00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:00.200
probably a number that they're not gonna
go over. Josh Jacob's still good too,

180
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:03.399
but I have a hard time believing
that Jerry's going to trust a sixth

181
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:07.919
rounder to come in and start for
this team next year. I would jack

182
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:11.360
around with former first rounder Clyde Edwards
Hilaire of Kansas City, who hadn't got

183
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:15.159
a lot of run. The old
LSU running back had got a lot of

184
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.000
run there because Pacheco passed him by
when he got hurt. I would jack

185
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.519
around with something like that and do
running back by committee before I did that,

186
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.720
because my third wide receiver is probably
going to be more, you know,

187
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:31.799
important to this team than my first
running back. You know, it's

188
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:35.919
it's just the way I look at
it now. But oh, that's interesting.

189
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:39.360
Just because that's some sexy, sexy
names out there. Mm hmm.

190
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:41.799
And we'll have a solution in a
few weeks. Cowboys fodder. MAVs are

191
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:46.639
back tonight against Cleveland. That's at
six pre game at five point thirty with

192
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:50.799
great Kevin Gray Coople. I they
caught six, Mike. We have a

193
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:54.159
local dude back in the news.
Dude. We talked about this couple weeks

194
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:58.080
ago where there's out of absolutely nowhere, the whispers of the return of the

195
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:03.759
enigma that is Anthony Kim. The
I don't know, I don't know about

196
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:07.240
golfing legend. I don't know.
I mean, he assisted in Team USA

197
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:11.720
winning a Ryder Cup and then he
just disappeared twelve years ago from the game.

198
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:15.240
And he's a Dallas site. He's
from California, but he lives somewhere

199
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.720
in Dallas. So he's kind of
a magnified mystery in our town here and

200
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.799
in the golf world, it's like, Anthony Kim, whatever happened? And

201
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:26.360
you know, allegedly he had ten
million bucks or so on an insurance policy

202
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:30.080
that paid only if he never played
golf again, So he was all banged

203
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:31.639
up, and he's like, all
right, I don't want to play golf

204
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:33.919
anymore. But every year it's like, oh, where's Anthony Kim. What's

205
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:37.480
Anthony Kim doing? So a couple
weeks ago or a month ago, this

206
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:41.240
news broke that, my god,
Anthony Kim wants to golf again. And

207
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:43.799
we didn't know if it was PGA
Tour or live or what it was going

208
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:48.039
to be. But this thing's kind
of snuck up on us and out of

209
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:54.480
nowhere. Anthony Kim is playing this
weekend on the Live Tour in Saudi Arabia.

210
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:56.879
I saw just this morning. They
have the little placard with the name

211
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:01.879
Anthony Kim on and on the driving
range like he is gonna play this week

212
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:09.080
It starts this Friday at two fifteen
am local time, so we actually might

213
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:13.879
get to watch love Anthony Kim.
That's crazy in here on Friday. That's

214
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:16.919
wild. But after a dozen years, I think he got up to fourteenth

215
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:22.200
ranked in the world. He was
very charismatic, cool kid who you know,

216
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:26.200
was one of many to be,
Oh, my god, the next

217
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:31.039
Tiger style guy. Obviously you never
did anything close to that. But now

218
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:35.639
he is returning to play this Efan
weekend and live golf, so is he

219
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:37.519
just did he sign on with him
or is he just kind of doing a

220
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.440
little He has been test run.
He's thirty eight years old, which is

221
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:46.120
just bizarre. He's reportedly been signed
to a wild card deal by Live Golf,

222
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.559
and he is competing in the third
event of the twenty twenty four season,

223
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:52.480
that's in Jetta, that starts this
weekend. He's not on one of

224
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:58.080
their teams, so I think he
is committed to play in at least three

225
00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:02.519
events, but he has not been
assigned to one of their teams. I

226
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:04.120
think it's kind of a tryout.
They got to know, can this dude

227
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:10.759
play golf at a level where you're
battling John Rahm? And the answer is

228
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:15.080
probably hell no, no, especially
right out the gates. But who knows.

229
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:19.360
He's the legend of Anthony Kim.
He started as a mystery. He

230
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:23.879
started out at one hundred and fifty
to one to win this thing, and

231
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:27.200
then it quickly dropped down one hundred
to one. He has better odds to

232
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:32.200
win this week's Live Tour than Phil
Micholson, Lee Westwood, Graham mcdowal,

233
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:37.320
Charles Schwartzel, Martin Kaimer. Can
that's Danny? A question? Because that's

234
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:41.600
that's just more juiced for live,
which is killing it. I want to

235
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:47.759
ask Danny something just because Mike and
I are golf dorks, But Danny,

236
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:53.759
at this week's live event, you
will have John Ram, Dustin Johnson,

237
00:16:53.759 --> 00:17:00.559
Bryce and d Chambeau plenty more huge
name when you think of liv are those

238
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:07.400
the big names you think of?
Just because he's kind of the figurehead of

239
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.279
the smith is, you know,
right there with Ram as the best player

240
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:14.680
there. Maybe not as big a
name in America, but yeah, huge

241
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:18.559
This week at the Old Honda Classic
in Florida on the PGA Tour, Rory,

242
00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:27.480
Matt Fitzpatrick, Tom Kim, Cameron
Young. Which one interest you more?

243
00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:32.039
Danny obviously the one with the bigger
names, uh. And the fact

244
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:34.680
that we can come in here and
probably catch the back nine. Yeah,

245
00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:40.160
but we'll be getting the front nine
on Thursday of He's a good rep for

246
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:44.759
that though. If you talk about
visual recognition, we could probably go eight

247
00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:49.440
plus deep on live and I bet
you can go too deep with Rory,

248
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:57.759
Ricky Fowler, giving Ricky Fowler and
Matt Fitzpatrick. Shane Great did do anything

249
00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:03.160
for you? Shane Lowry? Yeah, I know the name he doesn't heston

250
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.319
Rose back in the day. But
I was just thinking, like, dude,

251
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:10.279
to live and I was always on. I was always on the boat

252
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:14.680
of that Live is a threat.
Like but just because of the money.

253
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:15.480
I know, there's some people who
are like, no, it's not gonna

254
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.200
that's not real, it's not gonna
last. I'm like, no, they

255
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:23.079
and it to me week in and
week out. We just watched the Mexico

256
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:29.880
Open last week and it was like
the winner. There was one big player

257
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:33.599
in the field to who is not
wouldn't be a normal day's a top ten

258
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:37.359
player in the field and he was
only there because he's the defending change.

259
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.640
Yeah. Other though he wasn't defending, he would not have gone. They

260
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:45.880
PGA Tours in trouble, not like
they're not going to exist in it.

261
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:48.240
I don't know. I know,
but when they do the elevated events,

262
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:52.440
but they need a twenty million dollars
purse and then all the boys come to

263
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:56.559
the yard. They need speak and
Justin Thomas to play every week and these

264
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:02.319
other huge names. And imagine the
pressure via text and phone call to those

265
00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:06.960
guys to get him to play in
a non elevated event. Yeah, I

266
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:11.000
think it might lean toward they only
they only all play in the majors,

267
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:14.799
the elevated events and whatever thing they're
hosting, you know, or that they

268
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:18.279
previously won, you know, like
female I don't want to plan a local

269
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:22.400
event. No oh no, I
mean he doesn't, and that that was

270
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:26.279
probably more of a beating for him. A Scheffler too, Yeah, yeah,

271
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:30.799
probably more of a beating for him
to do that with the media obligations

272
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:34.599
and stuff. It's just it's interesting
and Anthony Kim is just more Just like,

273
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:38.200
if the PGA Tour could have got
Anthony Kim somehow, you know,

274
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:41.680
I know he doesn't, he would
be able to qualify, Like, I

275
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:45.000
get it, what do you think
he'll shoot? But like, because this

276
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:51.279
one load of mid seventies, I
think you'll hang. How about if I

277
00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:55.720
gave you seventy I assume it's a
part seventy two. If I gave you

278
00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:59.279
seventy four and a half as an
over under, I was thinking's seventy five.

279
00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:04.759
From my head, I'll say over
non competitive for that long, I'll

280
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:10.039
say over I think I do too. Unlus, the course is super easy.

281
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:15.759
Where is this Saudi? Okay?
Are these guys? They're not moving

282
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.240
over there? Are they just they're
flying to these tournaments whenever they happen.

283
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:22.759
They're private planning because they got private
plane money now, and they're all in

284
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:27.240
that world over there. No,
I mean there's live tournaments in America.

285
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:30.359
Yeah, there's a bunch of Vegas, Miami, there's four here. I

286
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:34.400
think, I think what I'm gonna
be in fo wurth in in there?

287
00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:38.119
Are there? I think? So, No, it's kind of a good

288
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:41.359
idea. I mean, honestly,
it's Formula one. That's like the model

289
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:45.839
that they're that they it's less I
mean Formula one' up to I think twenty

290
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:51.880
four races this year beginning this weekend
and by right. But yeah, the

291
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:56.079
PGA Tour is essentially the United States, the DP World Tours kind of Europe

292
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.759
that they have the Asian Tour,
but live is massive of in all of

293
00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:03.519
them moving fairly with the same groups. But yeah, they all live here,

294
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:08.319
Hong Kong, Miami, Adelaide,
Singapore, Houston was the Texas One,

295
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:19.000
Houston, Nashville, Andalusiah UK and
then the Greenbrier Caroline Dumb Golf question,

296
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:26.680
are there certain courses in the United
States that are strictly PGA sanctioned like

297
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:32.160
that the PGA would have rights on
Pebble Beach, for example, LIB wouldn't

298
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:37.440
be able to host a tournament at
Pebble Beach. I don't think officially know,

299
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:42.559
I don't think, but there's fifty
year relationships that they wouldn't do it

300
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:47.640
out of respect. I think,
Yeah, But you know what can trump

301
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:52.720
respect? Cash? Look at all
those big Well you just went down a

302
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:57.680
list of eight dudes that I would
if you told me that they were playing

303
00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:03.240
in a watchable event here, you
know, in prime time, I'd be

304
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:06.160
excited to watch that. Well,
it's funny you said, so, yeah,

305
00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:10.960
you can trump respect because Durrell the
Blue Monster in Miami is a longtime

306
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:17.640
PGA tour venue, and they stopped
the tournament because of Trump his ownership of

307
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:22.039
It's Trump Durrell, and then that
quickly became a live tournament event. It

308
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:26.799
was where their championship was last year. So there's a lot of that.

309
00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:30.240
Yeah, yeah, but I don't
I don't know. I don't. I

310
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:33.400
don't know. Like, if you're
in the rotation for US opens like Pinehurst

311
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:37.400
and Pebble Beach, sure, or
you know, Beth Paate, whatever,

312
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:42.839
you probably think that would screw you
up if you agreed to host a live

313
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:47.880
tournament there. Well first and Texans. The problem is, I've never been

314
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:49.640
able to find any of it on
TV. Well it's on the Country and

315
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:55.480
Western CW now and it is still
you could still like know if that if

316
00:22:55.640 --> 00:23:00.599
little things in broadcast bother you like
just kind of being a little all over

317
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:03.319
the map. It's a little wild
ass. But they do have kind of

318
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:08.680
cool graphics, and they have David
Faridy a familiar voice, and it's faster,

319
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:12.039
it's Shotgun Star. I mean,
there's a lot appealing. John Rahm

320
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:15.599
just sat down with Marty Smith,
I think on ESPN just a couple of

321
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:21.640
days ago, and he kind of
said it finally. He's like, it's

322
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:25.400
more money and I have far less
obligations that I have to fulfill. I

323
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:27.720
get to play less golf and make
a lot more money. Yeah, Because

324
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:30.119
that's the thing is these guys all
sign and they can't go out and be

325
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.559
like I took the bag, yeah, which is the truth. But Live

326
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:37.200
doesn't even want you to say that
because LIV wants to validate themselves as a

327
00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:41.160
competitive the best golfers, you know, so they don't even want you to

328
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:45.519
say it but everyone knows it.
But Rom kind of said it this week.

329
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:49.279
They need to create some PGA versus
live events. Make this like an

330
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:52.920
NFC AFC type thing that would be
that would benefit the PGA. To or

331
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:56.799
live might be like, no,
we're taking your sport. And I thought

332
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:00.279
that's what we were getting close to
doing last year and had a merger the

333
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:03.559
pitch, but the merger never officially
went through. It was all scheduled to

334
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:11.200
go through. So okay, all
that live PGA whatever. I'm here for

335
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:15.440
Anthony Kim's return, which is this
Friday, while we're all sleeping. It

336
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:18.839
starts at two fifteen Central time.
After twelve years, he comes back and

337
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:22.440
we get to watch it. Do
we have the Country and Western channel to

338
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:29.160
watch golf? Why don't we don't
have anything? I mean behind his head

339
00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:30.960
on our computers. We'll figure it
out. Yeah, we'll find out.

340
00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:34.559
Youtubeer. Why does the NBC news
team look like they're in hell? Don't

341
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:38.039
ask, don't leave them alone.
It's just a bad backdrop. I think

342
00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:41.440
it hit ninety degrees yesterday. I
think that's what they're going for. Good

343
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:45.400
God. Coming up next in the
scuttle butt is Taylor's Swift's dad going to

344
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:48.440
jail next to ninety seven won the
