04:39that was
04:39it expensive um all expensive all in all it's not that bad for for the amount of golf that you're
04:46getting with the meals i mean it was it was 2500 so which isn't 2500 all in yeah all in
04:53yeah and that's
04:53not too too bad because golf trips nowadays yeah it's not i mean considering the amount of golf you

05:02four and a half rounds of golf plus all the dinners um staying at the manor flight flight yeah
05:10it's not bad is the trip for next year already getting organized yes it's already getting organized
05:16and it's going to be where um there's there's talk about see this would be uh the 15th so it
05:23was kind
05:23of special okay yeah so that's why i was at pinehurst they've done abandoned dunes trips before okay 36
05:29dudes going out there which is unbelievable but i think the next year is going to be a little more
05:33low-key right um it's probably going to be like ocean city or king's mill yes we've done we've done
05:40king's mill before yeah so it's it's going to be uh scaled back it's gonna be scaled back a little
05:46bit oc would be cool you know playing oc or play you know dewey or verhoboth or yeah play all
05:51those
05:52courses that would be very cool plus it's an easy drive to get there yeah but that's that's the what
05:56he'll do is he'll send out a survey and then everyone can kind of vote on where they want to
06:00go
06:00next year nice democratic process but he's floating the the cost to an extent i don't know i don't know
06:07he must be rich i i mean he's not like rich rich but i don't i don't know he's not
06:13filthy yeah i
06:14don't know how he he organizes that like we pay like um like a fee up front at first to
06:21like cover
06:22to hold the okay reservation but he's not like plunking down his card for for 36 other for 35 other
06:29dudes yeah that would be very cool if just as long as someone else is organizing it because i want
06:35to do
06:35it you want to be part of the 36 no that's too much come first serve that's too much for

07:25bad heat you don't like to put jason i'll play in anything yeah he's a he's a grinder he's a
07:29warrior i'll do i'll do whatever for golf i would think that i'm a slut for golf i would think
07:33that
07:34golf courses around the area on wednesday thursday friday yeah i'm gonna be empty most likely you gotta
07:40be i mean unless there's a bunch of guys like like him yeah that like to play in extreme heat
07:44but i i
07:45couldn't i mean i just want i just walked number two when it was about 105 degrees yeah i mean
07:50i don't know
07:51how you did it he he can handle it he's built for it just put a towel with ice around
07:55your neck
07:56yeah and just walk yeah i'm not as into golf as you guys this is the luck i've had though
08:00this year
08:00i think i've signed up for four rounds maybe five it's rained every time now a couple times i've
08:07canceled because of rain yeah and could have played yesterday but me and my buddy were like game time
08:13decision like and maybe we'll pass maybe we'll pass it's gonna be too wet had had a couple you know
08:20what
08:21you do you can play 15 holes though which we did one time and then it starts raining you don't
08:26have
08:26to pay because they give you a rain check beautiful hmm so that's happened i mean if you get 15
08:32holes
08:32in i just feel like kind of nubs i don't know i don't know if we're gonna give you a
08:37rain check
08:37for a full 18 but they do played 15 holes that seems like a bad business decision but not my
08:44business
08:44i don't know anything about running a golf course this way now would you not accept it no of course
08:48you
08:48take it right but i would question what sort of business you're running if you let let me play i
08:53don't know 85 of my round and then you give me another free round just because it's sprinkled a
08:57little bit yeah well at that time it was actually a down yeah thunderstorm well i'll tell you what it
09:03poured for about an hour and a half up at uh up in connecticut where they were holding the travelers
09:10and it was basically just coming down more collar shot 61 yesterday but he got off the course
09:15before the uh before the rain came 61 scheffler shot a 60 on friday hovland shot of course hovland
09:24shot a 61 on friday so scheffler and hovland shot 60 61 on friday they were kind of trying to
09:31separate
09:31themselves from the rest of the pack but and they get to play extra golf today right well i mean
09:35there's an hour and a half delay so it got dark and it was about 8 30 before when scheffler
09:42dropped like
09:42a 12 footer on 18 to force a playoff this is too dark now if you're watching it on on
09:49tv it looks
09:49butt light but that's because the cameras add the light it was dark so they had to come they have
09:54to
09:54come back today at nine o'clock and finish off the playoff but it poured up in connecticut for a
10:00couple hours it was very cool did you watch any of that matt i did not yeah after getting in

11:39cup one match yesterday they are into the round of 32 and that was canada beating south africa
11:48scoring late they scored an extra time i believe i think it was like 94th or 95th minute yep really
11:54nice goal guy brought it down with his chest and banged it in that was great but they have a
11:59guy
11:59who's their best player and now i might botch his name i think his last name is davies jonathan david
12:05who hadn't been playing and he came in and he was a difference maker you could tell for canada
12:10mm-hmm and but they're fired up i think that's the furthest they've ever made it yep i think it's
12:15the first time they've ever won a game in the knockout round yeah so they had the one game uh
12:19one
12:20match yesterday and now you've got three today in the round of 32 one o'clock all get all these
12:27matches
12:27are on fox some of the big boys playing the big boys are playing today at least three of them
12:32brazil is
12:34playing japan all right so that's at one o'clock they're playing that game down in or matt i keep
12:40saying game is it okay to say game sure all right they're playing that game down in houston
12:45germany is playing paraguay at 4 30 they're playing that in boston also germany should handle the business
12:52there bro um germany is a pretty big favorite minus 275 brazil's minus 140 in the first one and then
13:00the netherlands are playing morocco that's a pretty close contest jabby this should be this
13:07should be a really tight match right netherlands and morocco i would think it's probably the best
13:12match of the third round of 32 for sure is it yeah it should be a high scoring one both
13:16of them are
13:16offensive teams um and that's at nine o'clock and i need brazil and i need netherlands cake see
13:24oh so i'm rooting for morocco oh you're rooting for japan and morocco big day for you
13:28yeah it's moving day i don't know how many i'm assuming somebody's got japan and somebody's
13:32got morocco of course yeah i don't know how many points you get in our pool for the uh the
13:37first
13:37match first win of the uh of the knockout round but i assume it's probably pretty eight or ten points
13:43maybe it's very doggy a round of 32 win is five points oh five points sorry let's see so i
13:49can get
13:49ten points today nice that would be nice if i can get ten points okay he has a lot of
13:54teams that got sent
13:55home a lot of them turkey chechia cutter yeah you're probably cooked yeah i need port i need
14:04portugal and norway basically to face off in the final if that's impossible i'm not even sure if
14:07they're on the same side of the bracket here's a little preview of the standings cakes is in last
14:12place yeah yeah it's not great it's not great when you have three of your six teams eliminated and his
14:18top teams look like garbage yeah portugal said one decent game and it was against a number just
14:24tell me who i owe and how much money i think that's coming for you yeah it's fine i think
14:28zlatan was joning on cristiano ronaldo because remember when he scored his two goals he said i'm
14:34back he said it's easy to say i'm back when he plays i think it was uzbekistan if you play
14:39a stand
14:39and you're you're bragging about scoring multiple goals you might want to just pump the brakes a little
14:44bit so the u.s will play bosnia wednesday night i believe that match is in la santa clara oh
14:53santa
14:53clara yeah so it's west coast uh that will be at eight o'clock on wednesday and so we're it's
15:01knockout stage it's winter go home now this is fun to watch i can't believe how much it uh into
15:08the
15:08world cup i've you're in now a lot of it let's be honest because i'm waging gambling it's gambling
15:14driven and i had yesterday i had canada and i parlayed it with scotty scheffler to win okay
15:20but it's also the passion of the games i don't necessarily care about those countries that are
15:25playing yeah even when it's not the united states but you can see how important it is to those teams
15:31oh 100 i mean the fact that cape verde makes it through i mean now they're going to get smoked
15:37by
15:37argentina but that's their world cup is qualifying they got there making it to the knockout stage by the
15:44way you didn't mention this messi is now scored in seven straight world cup games now he came in
15:49in the third game a lot of people didn't think he was going to play much like christian pulisic he
15:55came in right around the 60th minute and he scores on a free kick which may be the goalie i
16:00don't know
16:00what the goalie's doing he's like buried behind a wall didn't even see the kick it's like be on the
16:04other side i didn't see that that's why you have a wall not that he can't kick it over the
16:09wall and dip
16:10it down because he can do that too but but kind of terrible positioning by the goal aren't you
16:15aren't you kind of jacked up for the the triple header today it's going to be jacked up for the
16:21last game oh netherlands morocco i won't be watching that i'll definitely watch all of the brazil japan
16:27match i'll have it i'll have on a lot of the germany paraguay it's a good chance that i'll fall
16:32asleep
16:32during one of those early games for a nap oh yeah i mean you've got like three hours sleep last
16:37night
16:37soccer can like it can lull you to sleep at times even even world cup level soccer so you've got
16:44that going on uh so we'll be talking about that all week whatever countries are playing the gnats took
16:49the series up in baltimore up in camden they woke up the last two days luis garcia luis garcia i
16:56mean
16:57what a year he's having he's 13th in the league in rbis i mean is he gonna be an all
17:02-star doubtful
17:03but he's on a heater he should be he's got six bombs his last six games he's got 16 home
17:09runs this
17:10year i believe his career high is 18 yeah well he's gonna destroy that number right he's gonna hit 33
17:16he's batting 280 he has been on fire when they moved him over to first base i was like you
17:22can't
17:23have a first baseman that doesn't have a bat because he's got a bat he's got a bat um so
17:29so garcia had
17:30three hits drove in five hit two bombs his second one hit the top of the wall uh i think
17:37they had
17:37another blown save though over the weekend they was that yeah that wasn't yesterday because poland
17:42got no i think maybe it was i think it was still in a win but the blown save oh
17:48because they did they
17:49win and they win in uh in 10th inning right yeah well they they beat the baltimore and they won
17:55the
17:56series so they took two out of three i believe they won four of six against valdez's a's this
18:01season they did it was much needed these last two wins because you know at the start of last week
18:07we
18:07were fired up before the philly series the four game series and they could have won every game in
18:12that series but they blew the last three via bullpen and things were starting to spiral a little bit
18:18they fell below 500 so now they're back above 500 i think a game above 500 so correct two back
18:24in the
18:24wild card still 40 43 and 42 didn't score a lot of runs but they they were much better um
18:31in in
18:32pitching and zach littell was really good yesterday and then mitchell parker came in had a 5-2 lead i
18:38believe uh either a 5-2 or a 6-2 lead gave up a two run bomb so it was
18:436-4 but he had to leave
18:44the game yeah threw a pitch and then started to shake his you know shake his left hand his uh
18:50his throwing
18:51hand i don't know what the update is but they took him out um he was not feeling great then
18:57they
18:57brought love lady in and then pull and got the uh the two innings saved so they take six uh
19:04or take
19:04uh two out of three they beat the orioles six to four now they go to boston tonight they go
19:09up to
19:09fenway boston's been hot boston's won seven of nine their starting pitching has been unbelievable in the last
19:14two weeks sunny gray had a no hitter through eight um they won that in extra innings
19:22they take a four game sweep of the yankees since aaron judge got hurt may 31st they were 13 games
19:30over 500 when judge was still in the lineup they're 500 since they've lost seven of nine the yankees so
19:36uh the nats are going to play a hot team they're going to play boston who's been pitching great
19:40getting some timely hitting and uh the first game of that series is up in fenway tonight
19:44coming up next the legacy tainted
