GRC Pre-Game - Ep.4

[00:00:00] Speaker A: So whatever. We'll move on. [00:00:02] Speaker B: What's up, guys? Let's go, baby. Grc, dude, leave us. I'm for you to come, man. This is going to be a lot of fun, dude. [00:00:08] Speaker C: I can't wait, dude. [00:00:09] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:00:10] Speaker A: Less than a week. [00:00:12] Speaker B: What's up? [00:00:13] Speaker A: Less than a week. We'll be playing our first round right now, next week. [00:00:18] Speaker B: I won't be. I'll be on a flight. [00:00:20] Speaker A: No, it's Friday. [00:00:22] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, you're right. [00:00:24] Speaker C: I was like, I hope you won't be enough. You're on our flight, right? [00:00:28] Speaker A: No, no. [00:00:29] Speaker C: Oh, you didn't change. Oh, yeah. [00:00:33] Speaker B: Riverside is giving me an error message troubleshooting. It's okay. He had problems last time, too. I don't know. Last time he had too many cookies on his computer. [00:00:43] Speaker A: Why didn't he just pop on his phone? [00:00:46] Speaker B: He could totally do his phone. [00:00:50] Speaker A: Yep. [00:00:53] Speaker B: That's hilarious. [00:00:54] Speaker A: So you didn't go to GRC last year, Quinn? [00:00:57] Speaker B: No, I did not. It was the only year I haven't gone, so. Yeah, I don't know, man. I just didn't. It was back in Palm Springs, and I've golfed Palm Springs plenty. And it didn't make any sense for me to go back and spend the money to play the courses I've already played before, so. [00:01:15] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. Especially when none of us were gonna go. [00:01:18] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, like, Wilden was going to be there. That's. [00:01:20] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:01:21] Speaker B: It's pretty much the only other person I would have gone out there for, so. But this year, I mean, we go paw. That's going to be sick, dude. This is your favorite course, right? Itch. [00:01:30] Speaker A: Legit, dude. Legit. Like, well, I have to set this. I have to set the stage here because, like, this was our first course we played in that very first Arizona trip that we did that I mentioned. Yeah. And we play. It was like a perfect day, perfect weather. We showed up and there was like a dude, I don't know, probably like a two hour frost delay. And. And so we just hit balls for two hours. It was kind of sick, actually. We just, like, took our time and warmed up and ate breakfast and, like, chilled. And then we played. And I don't know what it was, but that was like the turning point in my golf abilities and played so good starting at weak paw. And we played from that point all the way until it was literally dark. We were using our phones to light the paths on the way in. So we played for, like, I don't know, like, 10 hours, dude. And the course is sick. It was in pristine shape, and that just, like, kicked off my good golf for, like, the next few years. So there's a special place in my heart for we kapa. But I think aside from that, I think everyone's gonna love it. It's. It's a sick course, dude. I'm stoked to play Saguaro or Seguero or however you pronounce it, because it's. It's supposed to be really good, too, and I haven't played it. I've only played Choya. [00:02:57] Speaker B: Okay, how many? There's, like, three courses on this resort, right? [00:03:00] Speaker A: There's two. Just Choya and Saguaro, and then. Honestly, TPC Champions is super underrated. James, did you. Did you play that with us last time? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I. I think it's underrated, dude. I've played both Champions and the stadium course, and the stadium course is sweet just due to the, like, prestige of it because of the tournament, but the champions course is six, and it's. Dude, it's way more affordable, so that's. [00:03:31] Speaker D: What everyone says, too. [00:03:32] Speaker A: Everyone. [00:03:32] Speaker D: Everyone I talk to. My buddy's a local in Arizona, and he's like, dude, champions is way better. [00:03:38] Speaker A: Yeah, I wouldn't say it's better. I just think compare, like, relative to the price and. And the, like, uppity ness. When we played. When we played the stadium course, it was the last day of our trip. Eric had, like, Covid, and we were the very first tee time off, so we were the pacesetters. So they were on us, dude. Like, every hole, they're like, pick it up, pick it up. And we're, like, playing a fine pace, so it was kind of annoying. [00:04:08] Speaker D: Good thing Levi was you. [00:04:09] Speaker A: Then probably would have been kicked off the course. Honestly. [00:04:14] Speaker C: I would have just started picking up my ball. Would have been like, fine, dude. Whatever, I guess. Throw it down the fairway. [00:04:24] Speaker A: Not now. Not now. [00:04:26] Speaker B: Yeah, dude, when I golfed the. The old course, you had to keep score for, like, at least a month and then show up to the old chorus and prove that you were a certain handicap. [00:04:43] Speaker A: That's cool. [00:04:44] Speaker B: Yeah, so I lied. [00:04:48] Speaker A: So you got. You squeezed through the cracks there? [00:04:50] Speaker B: Yeah, well, actually, I was. I was good enough to play. It was fine, but I did. I played, like, on that day. It was like, day four. I was getting sick. I had been in Europe for a week. And, yeah, it was rough. [00:05:03] Speaker A: I'm sure they get all sorts of hacks out there, man. [00:05:05] Speaker B: Oh, 100. [00:05:06] Speaker D: 100 farmer who's been golfing as long as you. The fact that you don't track your gin is hilarious. [00:05:11] Speaker B: I'm lazy, dude. I'm just lazy, bro. That's. That's what it is. [00:05:18] Speaker D: The way. What's up? Sorry, sir. [00:05:21] Speaker A: And wait. [00:05:21] Speaker D: Had some technical issues. I was expecting to get roasted as soon as I jumped on. [00:05:28] Speaker A: We're just roasting you behind your back. It's cool. [00:05:30] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. You missed the roasting. [00:05:34] Speaker B: What the hell's wrong with your computer? Is it the cookies, bro, or what? [00:05:38] Speaker D: It was like, it let me in and then it wouldn't let me record for the. Yeah, for the storage. But I already deleted everything, so I don't know. I haven't been on my Mac for a minute, so it probably was a little dusty. [00:05:51] Speaker B: Makes sense. That makes sense. So I. I wanna. I wanna start with this conversation. Are you. So you guys are all gonna get mushrooms? [00:06:00] Speaker A: Are you guys gonna. [00:06:00] Speaker B: Are you guys gonna play on mushrooms? Like, what the is this? I'm judging you. The druggie of the group is judging you guys getting mushrooms? [00:06:10] Speaker C: Have you seen me play on mushrooms, Quinn? [00:06:12] Speaker B: I have no idea. [00:06:16] Speaker D: Richie just got real uncomfortable. I don't know. I'm just. [00:06:24] Speaker A: I'm picking them up. I. I might. I might do a square or two. Probably not a lot of golf though, to be honest. Yeah, I'm just so used to golfing sober now that I don't want to get that way. [00:06:34] Speaker C: But I mean, the one square just like, calms me down. It just, you know, like. I mean, it's not near enough to like, get crazy or anything. It just makes it easier to laugh things off when they go. They go bad. [00:06:52] Speaker D: Yeah, I'm kind of in the same boat. I'm just gonna, like, have them there. And if. If the opportunity presents itself, I'm just gonna kind of play it by ear. [00:07:02] Speaker C: I was thinking about this. If I have one of the 7:30 tee times or whatever, I'll be eating that thing at like 6. Breakfast. [00:07:11] Speaker A: Breakfast room breakfast. [00:07:12] Speaker C: Yeah, just a chocolate with breakfast. [00:07:14] Speaker A: Put it in your omelet coffee. [00:07:16] Speaker D: Nothing will be as epic as Eric eating that. That edible before. [00:07:22] Speaker A: Oh my God. [00:07:23] Speaker B: Oh, my God, dude. It's hilarious, bro. [00:07:27] Speaker D: That is one of the best. Have you heard this story, Levi? [00:07:31] Speaker A: Bro. [00:07:32] Speaker D: So the night before. I think it was night one, right? [00:07:36] Speaker B: Yeah, it was the very first night I was driving in from San Diego. [00:07:40] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:07:40] Speaker B: And Eric hits me up and he's like, hey, man, can you, like, pick me up some edibles on your way in? And I was like, of course, dude. Like, you know, whatever. So I go and I think I Got. I think there were chocolates. I think there were chocolates. And we meet up at the Airbnb and I give him the chocolates, bro. And everything seemed fine. Whatever. We all went to bed. James surprised me. He was there. Hoorah. [00:08:00] Speaker A: Whatever. [00:08:01] Speaker B: We wake up. We wake up the next morning and he's like, what were in those edibles? I was like, I don't know, dude. [00:08:11] Speaker D: When I was here and one here, dude. And he looked like. He like, he's like, dude, I didn't sleep at all last night. [00:08:18] Speaker A: Yeah, dude, he woke up, he's like, I haven't gone to bed yet. He's like shaking, dude. [00:08:25] Speaker B: I was like, I don't know. They're normal edibles. Like, how much did you take? And he handed me the package and half of it was gone. So he took 40 or 50 milligrams. [00:08:34] Speaker C: And tried to go, rookie mistake, bro. [00:08:39] Speaker D: Dude, he's like, I almost woke you guys up to go to the hospital. [00:08:44] Speaker C: I was about to say, dude, did he eat the entire bar? Because that. That would do that for sure, dude. [00:08:50] Speaker B: I was like, bro, it literally says on the package how much each square is. And he's like, he did some like ass backwards math or something. [00:09:00] Speaker D: Mr. VP, dude. Yeah, he was high until the 16th hole the next day. [00:09:07] Speaker B: Yeah, I had to golf with him, dude. He was like. He was not in a good mood. He was not having. Was too funny, dude. [00:09:14] Speaker A: And then we. And then the next day, me and him played against Austin and Max and he played so freaking good, dude. Like making long putts and like out driving Max, dude. It was really fun. [00:09:28] Speaker B: That's awesome. [00:09:28] Speaker A: And we ended up beating them, man. What was it? Oh, you know what it was. We were like the last group to come in. Remember that? Yeah, yeah. And I birdied the last hole and we won. Two up. Yeah. It was such a fun, fun day, dude. That was a good trip. [00:09:45] Speaker B: Yeah. I love that you beat Austin and Max. That's fucking awesome. My two boys be Austin and Max. That's fucking awesome. [00:09:51] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm one and one against Commish. He beat me solos my first year, so we need a rematch. [00:09:58] Speaker B: Yeah, he'll. He'll do it. He'll want. He'll want to fucking run it back for sure. [00:10:02] Speaker A: I keep telling him he better unless. [00:10:04] Speaker D: He no club like you, bro. I went 2 and 1 last year because of that last day of ERC. [00:10:11] Speaker B: I was not in good shape, dude. [00:10:14] Speaker D: Yeah, we're not going to do that again. That's not going to. [00:10:18] Speaker B: Dude, if I. My My handicap is so high if I don't go three. And, oh, this year, if I'm not like three, you know, like, the three zero club, I'm gonna be really disappointed. [00:10:28] Speaker A: What. You're. What are you playing at? [00:10:32] Speaker B: Like, what am I actually playing at? Or what do they have me listed at? [00:10:34] Speaker A: What do you. What is your handicap for the tournament? [00:10:37] Speaker B: 25. [00:10:38] Speaker A: That's insane. I. I tried to advocate you down. I was like, there's no way anyone should be higher than an 18. We got so many hacks. [00:10:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:10:48] Speaker C: I looked, and you. [00:10:49] Speaker D: You're. [00:10:50] Speaker C: He had you at a 23Q. [00:10:52] Speaker B: Okay. [00:10:56] Speaker C: Because I said that watch that. Two strokes matter one day. [00:10:59] Speaker A: No, he. So, dude, he told me, because I was like, getting two pops on one hole is actually insane. [00:11:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:11:05] Speaker A: And he's like, that's never gonna happen. No one's ever gonna get two pops on a hole, and no one's ever gonna stroke on a part three. I was like, okay, well, then that makes sense, because you would only get two strokes a hole if you were paired up against a handicap that was, like, you five or lower, Right? [00:11:22] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:11:23] Speaker A: And so. And then, especially on the other formats, when the handicaps are reduced because you might have 23 strokes, but then your handicap is you're only going to get, like, 50 in the scramble and then, like, 70 in the alternate shot or whatever. And then it's just the difference off of the handicaps anyway. So. Yeah, there's a way to limit it. But I was like, dude, that's insane. 25. [00:11:46] Speaker B: Like, well, dude, I don't even know where he got that number. Like, I haven't. I've never given him 25 ever. [00:11:53] Speaker D: Dude, I hope I'm paired with you on the scramble, because it's gonna be just like, put. Put Q up. He's gonna be 220 to 250 right down the middle, and then I'll swing away. George. [00:12:05] Speaker A: Dude, 100. [00:12:06] Speaker B: Well, that's always the game plan. Like, whoever my partner is, I'm like, let me go first. [00:12:10] Speaker A: I want to play with you. I've never played with you before. [00:12:12] Speaker B: Yeah, that'd be dope. That'd be dope. [00:12:14] Speaker D: Oh, no. I played with you on that last day Q, where we were miserable and you got beat by the ice putter. [00:12:21] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:12:21] Speaker A: I think that might have been, like, one of the most hungover I've ever been. [00:12:26] Speaker B: But that's when you lost, right? You didn't you lose to Austin that day? [00:12:29] Speaker A: No, that was. No, I beat. I don't remember his name. I Think his name was, like, Danny or something like that. He was, like, a bigger dude. [00:12:37] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, yeah. [00:12:38] Speaker A: He played so bad. He was, like, a three handicap. I think he probably shot, like, close to 90, 95. And I was. I was. I was, like, two under through five and like, hung on for my dear life until, like, the 14 total when I closed him out and then, like, basically put my ball in my pocket. I could hardly get out of the freaking cart, man. Stopped. [00:13:00] Speaker D: Yeah, that was. Yeah. We can even. If you were drinking these days, there's no way we could even party like that anymore. There's no way. [00:13:08] Speaker A: If I was drinking, we would. You know that. That's why I don't drink anymore. [00:13:16] Speaker D: I know. I'm like, dude, I'm gonna just, like, keep it to one two beers, like, that's it. Oh, I'm nervous, dude. [00:13:25] Speaker A: I'm stoked. First sober Grc. Another three and O club. Let's go. [00:13:30] Speaker B: No, you're already. You're three. [00:13:31] Speaker A: Zero already, bruh. [00:13:33] Speaker B: Let's go, baby. Dude, I don't know where my cup is.3 0. That's hilarious. Austin hates that I don't have my cup. He's like, I don't keep anything. I don't keep any of the shirts they give me because they don't fit none of the sweaters. I think I gave you mine. [00:13:48] Speaker A: You gave me one. I've never. I've never even won, but I have a champion's jacket. It's so small on me, too. I can't even wear it. [00:13:57] Speaker B: That's hilarious. That's hilarious. [00:13:59] Speaker D: Levi, since this is, like, uncharted territory for you because you're, you know, coming in fresh, what are you, like, kind of most looking forward to? [00:14:08] Speaker C: I don't know, man. I'm trying not to put a lot of pressure on it, you know, because I just want to go and have fun. But I'm looking forward to meeting everybody and. And everybody that you guys talk about and playing sweet courses and just having some time to hang out with all you guys, you know, just. Just a golf trip to me. [00:14:29] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:30] Speaker C: I don't know. I'm sure I'll get competitive when I get there, but for right now, I'm just kind of, like, so excited to go and play with my new clubs and. [00:14:40] Speaker A: Have you spun them yet? [00:14:42] Speaker C: Yeah, I played on. Well, I. I hit the simulator on Monday. [00:14:46] Speaker D: Yep. [00:14:48] Speaker C: It went really well. [00:14:49] Speaker D: Oh, yeah, you text me, you said you were. [00:14:51] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they were. I mean, from the first swing that I took, it was like, whoa. It. They're just. I think I was telling Richie and Quinn that I. It just feels so much more comfortable setting up with them, and that's always been my struggle with. With Richie's old irons is that never really felt comfortable. Like, I was in the right position. [00:15:17] Speaker A: Or. [00:15:19] Speaker C: You know, I was always toying with. With how I set up and trying new things. And on Monday, I just, like, kind of stepped up, and it felt right, and it just kept feeling right every time I stood. Stood over the ball. [00:15:35] Speaker A: And it's a big part of playing good golf, man, is just feeling comfortable. [00:15:39] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:40] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah. Yeah. [00:15:44] Speaker A: Well, to your point, it's just a. It's just a golf trip, man. It's all about having fun anyways. Like, we don't actually really care, like, if I lose and don't go three and all, like, I'm not gonna care. [00:15:54] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:15:54] Speaker A: But. [00:15:55] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:15:56] Speaker A: Stoked to play. Stoked to play Raven, too. That'll be fun. Do you guys have. So what would be. We're heading into a new new year. Do you guys have any golf goals this year? [00:16:11] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:16:11] Speaker A: I know none of you really take it as seriously as I do, but you have any, like, specific golf goals? [00:16:17] Speaker B: I mean, I'm literally building a whole fitness program to be far more, like, functional. And then obviously, the big part of that is, like, incorporating a lot more rotation. Like, my. My biggest. I think my biggest problem with the game, outside of my chipping and putting, which it really just kind of boils down to practice. [00:16:36] Speaker A: Right. [00:16:37] Speaker B: Is I just don't. I just don't think I have, like, a full swing. Like, I don't. I don't get my hips through very well. I don't rotate properly. If I could figure that out, I think that that would, like. That would change the game, because then. Because I'm closer to the hole and I don't have to use my four iron to get, you know, my second shot isn't my four iron, which is literally the most difficult club that I have. You know what I mean? So if I can. If I can improve my ability to, like, make contact with a full, proper swing, that's what I'm aiming for, and that's kind of what I'm building my. My training program around. Yeah. [00:17:09] Speaker A: Love it. [00:17:10] Speaker D: I would say for me, like, you obviously know, you've heard me say this over and over again. Like, I. I want to break 80, and I'm. I've actually kind of take a step back and just decided to not even stress about breaking 80 at this point, because, like, I Looked at, like, I looked at like all my analytics and all my stats from, you know, the golf app and, or from Jin and stuff. Dude, my handicap got down to a 10, four. Like I was at one point like a 16 something. And then obviously I've gotten better over the years but like, I just, I'm sick of stressing about my score because I am scoring better. I'm shooting low 80s. I'm a low 80s golfer now and high 80s on a bad day. But for me, I just want to build like my ball striking, my consistency, my consistency with chipping as well, I think eliminating the losses. And I just feel like the drills and stuff I've been doing has just been focusing on that and I think the score is going to prove itself once all that's fixed. Also, I'm trying to like, when I go play these courses, dude, I'm trying to like, as silly as it sounds, it's like, treat it like a, like when you play a video, when you play golf on the video game, it's like, dude, just, just keep the game simple and stop trying to laser a pin that you have a 5, you know, yard margin for error. Like just get the ball on the green and two putt and it's like boring. Golf is the best golf on the scorecard. Like every time I play with Richie, this is like, I'm like, dude, he's not doing anything fantastic. Like I'm hitting the ball, I'm hitting some good shots with him, but then like I'm out driving him on some points. But then he's kicking my ass on the scorecard. He's just keeping it super simple and putting the ball where it needs to be. And like, that's what I'm trying to imit imitate is just keeping the game simple. Dude. [00:19:02] Speaker B: Levi, don't hold back. Roast his ass. [00:19:05] Speaker C: I don't feel like you've ever played with Richie. Everything Richie does is fantastic, dude. Like, like, honestly, if you play the game of golf, like just the flat out consistency that he has is fantastic in itself. Like, everything looks easy and that's what I think is amazing about it. Like, I don't think it's ever boring watching Richie play because that's like, I know what you're saying. I'm just roasting you because, but I mean, I would agree with, with you, man. Just like consistency is my biggest goal and I'm hoping, you know, like, clubs aren't everything, but I'm, I'm hoping they help me this year and because I've Put in a lot of work. I, I go to the range all the time. I work on my chipping and putting, which has gotten way better, especially over the last like couple years because a lot of times if I don't have time to hit a full bucket, I'll just go for like 30 or 30 minutes or so and just chip and putt and, and get my feeling for that. So I think just consistency is what I want to work on and I think my scores will come down. I think I, I shot in the 80s twice this year and once the year before. So now I guess Maybe shooting the 80s like four or five times, maybe in the next year you're gonna do them hands down, which, you know, and may just set a, you know, maybe, maybe not a, a super high goal, but if I can blow that out, then I'd feel pretty good this year. I mean, certainly don't get to play all the time. So. Yeah, just. [00:20:52] Speaker A: What about you, Rich? [00:20:53] Speaker C: As good as I can. [00:20:55] Speaker A: Yeah. No, that's awesome. I mean to your point, the, the consistency factor man, is it's something we all strive for and that's when you're going to find the most improvement is when you stop. Even me, like when I press for birdies or when I press to make up for mistakes. That's when the issues happen. You compound everything and you don't see the results that you want to see. So it's one thing I've done really well in the last few years is just, you know, try and keep it simple, try and trust my game. And especially when I get into these high pressure tournaments and stuff, it's like I've got the game to compete with literally anyone out there. Like I can compete with professionals. I've done it. I've proven that I can compete with the best amateurs in the country. It's just about, you know, the mental side of things and making sure that I don't, you know, make those mental mistakes that are the differentiator out there a lot of the time. So I was going to, I was. [00:21:49] Speaker D: Get before you even said that, bro. That was, I was going to ask you what's, what is like your mental prep because like this is something me and Q talk about all the time. Like you were just so even kill. It seems like just in general one of your best personalities traits I think you know, as I've gotten to know you just over the years. So like obviously I, I especially being sober now, what is your like mental prep like? Do you have the same exact routine like do you drive? Listen to a certain podcast? Do you meditate before? Like, no. Like, I know that, like, so many athletes have a certain specific thing they do every round, so. [00:22:28] Speaker B: Or like, even, even, like, just like, your setup with each shot, like, are you thinking about it specifically? Are you just letting the game flow? Like, when you like to kind of piggyback off that, like, what's a mental error? Is it just being aggressive? Is it not focused? Like, give us your. [00:22:42] Speaker A: Yeah. So I. So it was like, kind of what I touched on earlier when I said trying to press to make up for mistakes. Like, the one thing I go back to all the time is in the USM final last year when I, out of nowhere hit a ball out of bounds from the middle of the fairway on the second hole, and I'm like. In my mind, I was like, all right, well, it's. It's basically over now. I have to make seven birdies on the way in to stay in the mix, right? I let that get to me. I make double on that hole. I'm pissed off. I. I miss a putt that I probably shouldn't have missed on the next hole, make a bogey, do it again on the next hole, miss a putt, because I'm just fuming. So I go double bogey, bogey on four over after five holes in the USM final, right? And so I'm just. I'm pissed. And I turn it around. I birdie the next two holes and end up missing by two. Where if I would have just taken my medicine, made my double on that hole, and then part of those next two holes, instead of making bogeys out of being frustrated, then I qualify for the U.S. amateur, right? So it's. It's stuff like that where, I mean, it comes back to trusting that I know how to play the game and I know I can compete. And then it is. It is sticking to my routine and it is, you know, I do have certain things that I do every time, but I've also gotten into, like, for you guys who are trying to find that consistency and trying to find, like, I need to do everything perfect. I need to do everything the same every time. That can get a little, little bit in your way as well, because if you're too focused about doing the same pre shot routine every time, then you're not necessarily trusting your subconscious to take over and do what it needs to do. So you need to find something that's consistent, but not. Not necessarily too focused to get in the way, right? So it's finding that balance. And it just takes a lot of practice, man. And it sucks that that's what it takes because everyone wants that answer of like, oh, you just have to. You have to do this, this, and this, and you'll be shooting in the 70s every time. Yeah. On paper. But really it comes down to just trusting you, trusting your game and your repetitions. And that's one of the biggest thing that I've taken is just letting that subconscious take over. Do whatever your conscious brain needs to do to get to the point to trust your subconscious. That's kind of the. [00:25:12] Speaker D: Is an example of that. Cause I know the first thing that comes to mind is like, I've asked you, like, obviously we've all asked you a million questions over the years, but like, one thing you said, I'm like, do you take practice? And this sounds silly, but like, do you take practice swings? Always your pre shot routine. And then you're like, sometimes. And so is that what you're kind of saying is like, if you're striking the ball. Because I've noticed there's been rounds where I just am just walk up and hit it and don't think, and I play very well. Then there's other rounds. I'm like, I actually do a one practice swing behind the ball, and then I'm. And then I feel a little bit more confident and I'm building that consistent shot routine. Is that what you're kind of saying is just kind of. And maybe just go with the flow on how the, the, the day is going too, right? [00:25:59] Speaker A: Yeah, 100%, dude. So. So. And when I talk about pre shot routine, I'm Talking about that 10 seconds right before you hit the ball. Before that, like, I'll do different things all the time. Like I'll. I'll shoot a bunch of different yardages. I'll clean my club, I won't clean my club. I'll, you know, do. Do a bunch of different things. Smoke cigar, like it doesn't matter. But once I get to the point of I'm approaching the ball, I've done all that conscious work of figuring out what's my carry yardage, what's my line, where's the conservative line? If I have like my typical myth with this club or whatever that might be, I've done all that conscious work to get to the point where, okay, now you know what you're doing. You've got the number, you've got the swing, You've got that in your head. Now your subconscious takes over. What does your Subconscious need to do to produce that. And it's just letting that flow from that point. So. [00:26:56] Speaker D: And it's knowing that if, if it's 150 yards and you're like, I'm hitting a. A nine iron. No, don't second guess yourself when you walk up to that ball. Right. [00:27:07] Speaker A: Whatever you do, commit. Yeah, commit. And we talk about that all the time in tournaments. My dad and I with, with Kevin, my really good a four ball partner. It doesn't matter what you do. If you don't commit. You could do everything right and get over the ball and then if you don't commit and swing the swing that you need to and it doesn't matter. So like, and that, and a lot of the times that's when you're trying to debate between a shorter club and a longer club and whatever, and you end up taking the longer club to make sure that you get over that bunker and then you don't swing it as hard as you should and you end up in the bunker anyways, you know? And it happens to all of us. It happens to me. So when you're playing, when you're playing good golf, man, it's just all that comes naturally. And then you just got to trust it. You got to commit, you got to trust it. Ball is going to do what the ball is going to do. You can hit a perfect shot, it could hit the pin and go out of bounds. Like you have no control over what the ball is going to do. But do it, do what you can to, you know, give it the best chance. And that's all you can do, Right? So I love golf, man. I could sit here and talk about it all day, but. [00:28:12] Speaker C: Yeah, well, we. [00:28:13] Speaker A: We fired up. [00:28:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:28:17] Speaker A: Yeah. But to my dude, to my goals. I. I sat down and redid my goals yesterday. I've got a lot of very granular statistical goals. Not going to get into those. I've got a lot of goals for, for some, like, tournaments and qualifiers that I'm going to do again this year. Um, I mean, I expect to win every tournament I sign up for now. So. I mean, those aren't really goals. Cause no one's going to win every tournament they play in. But that's the mindset I have. My three goals are to make a shit ton of birdies, play some sick courses and enjoy every minute out there, man. [00:28:54] Speaker B: Fuck yeah. Okay, so outside of Hueco Paw, where, where are you playing this year? You got any other destination golf that you got coming up? [00:29:01] Speaker A: Yeah, one other trip with my dad. We qualified for the Omni Generations cup, which is a national championship for basically Omni Resorts. And yeah, we're going to Austin, Texas in May to compete for that. So that'll be sick. We're playing two really sick courses, five video courses. Talked to Austin about it since he. He lived there for a while and he said they're sick. [00:29:26] Speaker B: So sick. [00:29:27] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Stoked for that. [00:29:30] Speaker B: So, yeah, I'll be playing the Dunes. [00:29:33] Speaker D: So. [00:29:35] Speaker A: Right up there. Top. Top five course in Colorado, in my opinion. [00:29:39] Speaker B: No, it's a great course. [00:29:40] Speaker A: I'm just talking shit and I'm mad cause I only. I didn't play Dunes at all last year. Not once. Seriously, dude. I didn't play a lot of golf last year. I know it seems like it to you guys. Um, basically every. Basically every round I played was a tournament, you know. [00:29:56] Speaker B: Yeah. So Levi is just skeptical of everybody on this call. [00:30:02] Speaker D: 10:00Am and itchy's on recour. [00:30:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:30:06] Speaker A: In a tournament is my point. Like, it's playing. I'm playing once, twice a week, but it's. It's all like predetermined rounds and stuff. Like, I never, hardly ever was like, played once with you guys, you know, so kind of dumb. [00:30:19] Speaker C: But Richie should just put on an, like an automatic reply on his phone over the summer that says, can't I have golf? I'm playing in a tournament that weekend. I can't do that. Sorry, Levi. [00:30:35] Speaker B: I mean, I. I know you just got these new clubs and hopefully they make a huge difference, but like, what. What did you do? Like, what do you do to practice? Like, are you been, like, trying to take on drills? Are you just kind of like out there swinging the club, trying to get your muscle memory dialed in? Like, what have you been doing? Because your. Your swing, bro, is so much better than it was. I mean, I. We talked about at the Nuggets game, and you, like, we. I know we were breaking it down, but it is like, you're really. You've really made a huge difference, man. Like, are you. What are you doing to work on it? [00:31:06] Speaker C: Yeah, man. I mean, it's funny. I don't know. Like. Like I've watched some videos here and there. I, like, I. I watched a ton of PGA this year and I just kind of watch those guys. I'm not trying to copy them. I think your swing is your fingerprint, but the basics and like how they break things down, like making sure that your head's staying centered and it's not moving all over the place that you're finishing on Your front foot? Because that. That was something I was terrible about. Like, in that video we watched from when we went to South Carolina, I was like, baseball, swinging at the ball. I'd end up on my back foot, like you said. I had trouble turning through my shot. So I put an emphasis on learning how to do those things for myself and, like, getting my hips through, following through on my swing, and then just, you know, trying. My setup was a really big thing for me to, you know, to make sure that, like. Because sometimes I was like, I feel like I'm so close and I'm crowded, and then I step back, and then I'm like, well, I feel like I'm reaching now and then. Just had a hard time setting up to the ball. So I worked on that a ton, which helped. But, yeah, man, at the end of. [00:32:29] Speaker B: The day, I'm sorry, how are you making the adjustments? Are you recording yourself? Do you have, like, an app? Like, how are you actually seeing yourself? Because one. One problem that I have is I'm like, ah, dude, my swing is fire. And then I look at it on film and I'm like, dude, I'm like, I'm as stiff as a board. Like, I don't. Like, I really can't feel myself any different. [00:32:48] Speaker C: I. I hate watching myself on video, dude. So honestly, it's more feeling like I got. I mean, I do things, like, I watch some setup videos that help me. It's like, you know, get into a comfortable position. Like, Richie gave me a tip one time where, like, he's like, sit back into your stance. And that actually is a weird, simple thing. But I was always on my toes. I felt like. And leaning way forward and sitting back and just being balanced helped me a lot. And then a big thing that I tried to do is, like, probably for the first couple minutes, I go to the range, I do some practice swings where I'm, like, just trying to feel athletic and loose, you know, to, like, like. And do what I'm. What my intention is. So, like, turn through all the way. Like, follow through. Like, get my shoulders squared up at the end of. You know, at the end of the swing where I want the ball to go, essentially, and. And just things like that. Like, I always think to myself, just feel athletic. Like, I'm an athlete. Make it feel smooth. If you're starting to feel sm. Stiff, step back, like, move around, get loose again. Find a way to get loose. And then that's. That's what I focus on. And then after that, it's just hitting balls you know, trying to. Trying to find that consistency with ball striking, but, yeah. Yeah, man. [00:34:19] Speaker D: What's so crazy, too, is, like, I. Similar to you, Levi, I, like, started watching the pga, which I never thought I'd be that guy. Like, my grandpa used to watch golf, and I'm like, are you trying to take a nap or what are you doing? Like, and now I'm, like, obsessed with it. And I think the biggest takeaway way that I've seen is back to Richie's point, is, like, you see these. These professionals go up and, like, hit not even the worst shot, but they end up double bogeying a hole and having that mentality and having that, like, memory of a goldfish is. What I try to remember is, like, dude, all right, that hole's over, and then from. Then bounce back from a double bogey or even a triple bogey and come back and hit a birdie or par. It's like, that's the difference. That's the difference that these guys are, you know, for the difference between a average, you know, golfer, you know, amateur golfer, and then these guys. It's. It's just crazy, dude. [00:35:15] Speaker B: Yeah, it's hard. It's hard to, like, mentally make that switch like you do. You have, like, a one bad shot. It's so hard to, like, wrangle it back in. And, like, I consciously. I'm like, okay, dude. Like, next shot, no worries. Like, you got this. And then I just shake it again, and I'm like, all right, well, golf. I'm done with this game. [00:35:35] Speaker C: That was. That was like the. When. When I. When we played with Alex at the dunes. I shot 49 on the front and a 39 on the back. [00:35:44] Speaker A: That's great. [00:35:44] Speaker C: That was pretty sweet. That was a pretty sweet turnaround. [00:35:47] Speaker A: Back nines matter. Yeah, dude. [00:35:52] Speaker B: The back nine is always my worst. Like, I can usually start off hot, and then I just. [00:35:56] Speaker D: I'm the opposite. [00:35:58] Speaker C: Yeah, me too, man. The first three holes are, like, the worst. I, like, I wish I could just get the first three. [00:36:04] Speaker A: Yeah, most people. Most people start bad and turn it around, and it's. It's either because they're not loose or they're too uptight because they want to do well. And then once those expectations go out the window, that's when your subconscious takes over. You start playing good. You don't care as much, Expectations go down, then you play better. [00:36:24] Speaker D: So how do we. Okay, so I'm on the number one T at grc, and I want to play well in front of my friends. They're announcing my name, how the fuck do I keep my code? [00:36:35] Speaker A: Go, let's go. That's exactly it. You. You channel those nerves into excitement. [00:36:41] Speaker D: So I can do that in almost every sport. And golf, for some reason, it just gets me more, dude. [00:36:49] Speaker A: Yeah. And I think it's because it's definitive, too. It's like in basketball, you make a mistake, it's like, well, we got, like, we're going to score 98, so I can make a mistake. In golf, it's like, if you want to shoot even par, you make a bug, you need to make a birdie to make up for it. So there. That's where that expectation thing comes into play. But it's the same exact thing, dude. And I tell my competitive golfers, I play with this all the time, the same thing. And it's like, I've learned to take those nerves, take that anticipation and that nervousness, recognize it, and say, all right, those feelings are there. Now get excited. Use those nerves. Use that energy to get excited, and just recognize that, man, I'm so lucky to be here and have this opportunity to hit this tee shot. Let's get excited. Let's. Let's channel it. And if it goes out of bounds, you hit one out of bounds. Who cares, man? Like, you're there. You're playing, gave it a swing. [00:37:44] Speaker D: Laugh about it. At the end of the day, every golfer has done it. [00:37:47] Speaker A: Yeah. And you could hit 10 bad shots, but that one first tee at GRC that you do hit, well, you're gonna remember that shot over all the other bad ones. [00:37:56] Speaker B: Totally. [00:37:57] Speaker A: So who cares? Who cares? [00:37:59] Speaker B: Yeah. No, I like that, man. You just. [00:38:00] Speaker A: You. [00:38:00] Speaker B: You harness your gratitude. I think, when it comes to, like, nerves, for me, there's such little room for error with any swing that if you get nervous and maybe you just don't follow through all the way or you just make bad contact, like, that is the difference. You know what I mean? But luckily, I haven't had any bad t T shots at. On the first tee at grc, so hopefully. [00:38:21] Speaker A: Well, and it's good that it's good that that first one's a scramble, so, yeah, totally. You and your team have two shots. Get it out there. And just remember, everyone's feeling the nerves, too. [00:38:31] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. [00:38:33] Speaker A: You're not the only one. You know, I'm gonna get those nerves for sure. I'm gonna get nervous feeling in the world, man. [00:38:41] Speaker B: Yeah. Love that. [00:38:43] Speaker C: I'm just gonna walk up there and be like, bro, I'm a 22 handicap. Who the cares What I do out. [00:38:48] Speaker B: There, literally my mentality. [00:38:54] Speaker C: Thank it. [00:38:56] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:38:56] Speaker C: Like if I get probably like, Alex, if you don't out drive me, you owe me 30 bucks. [00:39:01] Speaker A: I love that you go out there just, just watching. [00:39:09] Speaker C: I don't care at all. I know, but I can. He seems fun to talk too. He is on our team. [00:39:15] Speaker D: Oh, Alex is on our team. Yeah. That's why it's funny. [00:39:18] Speaker B: Oh, I see, I see, I see. [00:39:21] Speaker A: Austin texted me. It was probably yesterday or two days ago. And he's like, so what are your thoughts about switching teams? I was like, I mean, do what you got to do. But we went through a probably, I don't know, probably like a hundred messages going back and forth about how to structure it to make it fair and all this. And I was like, dude, at the end of the day, like, you do what you got to do, but I'm telling you that it's probably not going to matter. People are going to be playing better than their handicaps and worse than their handicaps and it's not going to matter. I was like, if you want, for optics sake, to make a switch, to make the handicaps more even to start the tournament, go for it. I understand that, but it's. You could be doing yourself a disservice too, because if someone plays better or worse than their handicap after you make a switch, then it's going to cause issues anyways. [00:40:10] Speaker C: Right? [00:40:10] Speaker B: What's. What's the problem? Are we just. We just have too many sticks on the team or what? [00:40:15] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:40:16] Speaker C: Handicap. We're like a hundred strokes lower than the other team. [00:40:21] Speaker A: It's not quite a hundred. I think it's like. I think it's like 40, 40 or something like that. Like 20 to 40. [00:40:28] Speaker C: Yeah, it was like three something to two something. [00:40:31] Speaker A: Yeah, I think they made some switches, but he was like, if I switch you and another good player. So Tony, basically is what he was saying and put it on Austin's team and then take two high handicaps from their team, put it on the Pirates, it would even out. Like, if you got to do that, you got to do that. [00:40:50] Speaker B: Yeah, fuck you, Austin. We're the Pub Pirates. We're going to win this no matter what. [00:40:54] Speaker A: Well, and he showed me the list of all the low handicaps and I was like, well, who the fuck are all these other guys? Like, throw them on the other side. And he's like, no, they got to stay together. And I was like, why did they have to stay together? [00:41:04] Speaker B: Yeah, I. I mean, it's cool that we're all on the same team, but I really wasn't. I wasn't expecting that at all, to be honest. [00:41:12] Speaker A: But then he. To his point, he was like. He was like, if you guys win or if the other team wins, and then there's a complaint about how the handicaps shake out, then it'll influence us doing an actual draft for teams next year. And I was like, dude, we need to do that anyway. [00:41:27] Speaker B: Yeah, that makes more sense anyway. [00:41:29] Speaker A: And I was like, that's more motivation to stick with the teams as they are to force that draft next year. And he's like, yeah, I agree. [00:41:35] Speaker B: Yeah, totally. And who gives a fuck if we win? It's not like we win money. It's not like we're walking away with thousands of dollars. What? We walk away with bragging rights. Like, okay, who cares? [00:41:47] Speaker D: Yeah, Yeah. [00:41:47] Speaker A: I mean, we want to win. All of us want to win. [00:41:49] Speaker B: Of course. But. But it's not like. [00:41:51] Speaker A: But yeah, it's not that big of a deal. [00:41:52] Speaker B: Yeah, it's not a big deal. [00:41:53] Speaker D: It would actually bring a little bit if. If that was the case. And then we draft and then we're on opposite teams next year. It's gonna. We're all competitive. [00:42:01] Speaker A: We're all. [00:42:02] Speaker D: It's only gonna just incentivize us to play our best golf against each other next year. [00:42:07] Speaker B: Totally. Totally. I've never been more amped up than to beat Wilden in my entire life. Than a grc. I'm like, I'm gonna beat this skinny ass. [00:42:20] Speaker A: I'm excited to see Will Don. [00:42:22] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. Willie. Willie D's the man, man. I'm super pumped to see him. [00:42:25] Speaker A: Dude, Will the Don. [00:42:28] Speaker B: And all his homies are going to be there. Will's going to be there. [00:42:32] Speaker A: Hell, yeah. So it's gonna be fun, man. [00:42:34] Speaker D: I gotta do this. I just realized that I gotta go load up on some stogies. [00:42:38] Speaker A: Do it. Do it. There. They're gonna dry out. [00:42:41] Speaker D: Oh, good call. Okay. We'll find one. I'm sure there's a million in the area. [00:42:46] Speaker B: Dude, there's. How many people, bro? [00:42:49] Speaker A: They're gonna sell them there. Yeah, 54 or something. [00:42:53] Speaker B: Dude, 54 people is crazy. That's crazy. [00:42:56] Speaker A: It's huge. [00:42:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:58] Speaker A: Like 2020. So maybe 52, 26. [00:43:02] Speaker C: No, it was 56. Yeah, 23. [00:43:05] Speaker A: 23. [00:43:08] Speaker D: So three teams and how many are we bringing? [00:43:14] Speaker A: Nine or ten? [00:43:15] Speaker B: Yeah, something like that. I don't know. [00:43:17] Speaker D: It's four. Tawny, Eric, Alex, Will. [00:43:19] Speaker C: I thought we counted it up and it was 12, Lucas. [00:43:22] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. [00:43:22] Speaker C: Or something. [00:43:23] Speaker B: Yeah, maybe we're not bringing Lucas. So Lucas and Austin have their own thing. [00:43:27] Speaker D: Yeah, but Luki's our boy. [00:43:29] Speaker B: Luki's our boy. [00:43:30] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:43:30] Speaker B: 100. [00:43:31] Speaker D: He's on our team. Yeah. Isn't he on our team? [00:43:33] Speaker B: No. Well, I don't know. I don't know. I was actually. [00:43:36] Speaker D: Luke is. [00:43:37] Speaker B: I don't know. I don't know if he is because I was texting him and I was like, hey, like, oh, we were just bullshitting, whatever. And I told him that we basically have everybody on the Pirates that, you know, that know me. And then he's like, well, then there's no way Austin put me on your team. And I'm like, I don't think so. I think Austin probably kept him for himself. [00:43:54] Speaker A: Me and Lucas was on our team. [00:43:56] Speaker B: I don't think so, dude. But I don't know. I don't read any of Austin's emails. You guys know better than me. I don't know if he's listed them on any of the emails. I see his name come through and I delete the message and I move on with my day. [00:44:08] Speaker D: I'm pretty sure the pairings are going to come out today or tomorrow. [00:44:12] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:44:12] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. I think they said that he was going to do that today. [00:44:15] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:44:16] Speaker C: It's funny. [00:44:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:44:17] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, dude. [00:44:19] Speaker B: Well, I hope. I hope I get to play with. With one of you guys or Wilden one of those days. I'm sure I will. [00:44:24] Speaker D: Yeah, I'm sure. Austin's. Dude, Austin's so live in our group chat that he knows, like, the camaraderie that we already have. I'm sure he's gonna try to hook us up. [00:44:33] Speaker B: That's hilarious, dude. I want to play with Levis. Levis. You and me gotta play, bro. [00:44:37] Speaker C: That'd be fun, man. [00:44:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:44:38] Speaker C: Feel like we always play well together, too. [00:44:41] Speaker B: 100. [00:44:43] Speaker D: Yeah, it's always vibes. Pair me with vibes, people. Well, Richie, I'm like, trying to just play so well. I play like. [00:44:52] Speaker B: No, I like. Like I love playing with Rich, but then there's like this added pressure and. [00:44:57] Speaker A: It'S like, well, there's not. [00:44:58] Speaker B: Well, you say there's not. [00:44:59] Speaker A: You should. You should have. There is lower pressure when you play with me, dude. Now every time I know that I got you. [00:45:06] Speaker C: Every time I play with you, I'm like. I'm like, I gotta show Rich how much better I am now. And then I play like trash, dude. [00:45:13] Speaker B: Totally. No, it's good. It's because it's the pressure that we need to get better. Like, honestly, like, after I play around with you, I'm like, fuck, dude, I really need to work on this. I really need to work on that. When I get done playing with James, I'm like, that was fun, but I don't really, like, think about it from the perspective of damn. Like, I just, like, shipping was trash. [00:45:32] Speaker A: No, I get it, dude. I, I. When I was, like, really trying to get better, it was, like, helping me a lot to play with guys like Tony and guys. Better guys in my club and stuff. [00:45:41] Speaker D: So, you know, is to beat Richie in golf, I think I could do it by 2020, maybe 2056, maybe. [00:45:50] Speaker A: Just need to. Just need a bad day and a good day. [00:45:53] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:45:53] Speaker A: For real. Holy. [00:45:55] Speaker B: Well, I also, I. There's also, like, an. An element of pressure to play well with you because I don't want to up your game. Like, if I feel like I'm chunking it or I'm slowing down the pace, I'm taking you out of your rhythm. There's an element of that as well. I know that that kind of sounds silly, but to me, well, so I can, like, get Richie to play well. I don't want you to come down to my level. Obviously, you. You're not. But there is an element of, like, wanting to make sure that, like, your game is top notch during the round. [00:46:23] Speaker D: True. [00:46:24] Speaker A: No, I mean that you have no one else to blame if you play that except for yourself. And plus, if I'm playing with you guys, there's no stakes usually, right? Like, it's not like a tournament, so I don't care if I play well or not. Like, obviously you want to play well, but that's not a matter. [00:46:41] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. [00:46:42] Speaker A: So. Well, you booked that car yet, James? [00:46:47] Speaker D: No, no, I was on. I was running some errands and then went for a run, and then now I'm here, so I'm gonna be doing it here shortly. [00:46:56] Speaker A: Is your dog gone crazy? [00:46:58] Speaker D: No, it's the neighbor's dog. [00:47:01] Speaker B: Bastards. [00:47:01] Speaker D: Probably close my window. [00:47:03] Speaker B: Yeah, I was like, why is it so loud? It is so loud. That's fucking hilarious. [00:47:11] Speaker A: I was waiting for James to have no shorts on. [00:47:14] Speaker B: James. So wait, James, if you're. If you're getting a car, then you can pick me up from the airport when I land. [00:47:21] Speaker D: No. [00:47:21] Speaker B: Yeah, that actually makes most sense if I think about it. If I'm thinking about it correctly. [00:47:27] Speaker A: Grandma's show putting up all around. [00:47:29] Speaker D: Dude. I know. I was gonna ask her, and she's like, you gotta come to me, and I'm like, all right, grandma, I'll do that. Yeah, I'm going to have dinner with my grandma Thursday night, so. And she lives an hour away, so I was like, damn, I might have to get a car just cuz. Yeah. [00:47:44] Speaker B: Holy. An hour away. [00:47:45] Speaker D: Yeah. And then it's an hour from her house to the casino, so I'm going to be rolling in. But I got to see my grandma. [00:47:51] Speaker B: Yeah, that's cool. [00:47:53] Speaker D: And it's her birthday, oddly enough. [00:47:56] Speaker B: Oh, that's cool. [00:47:57] Speaker A: Yeah, take her to the titty. [00:48:04] Speaker B: In the casino, dude. [00:48:05] Speaker D: Yeah, why not? [00:48:06] Speaker C: Dude. [00:48:07] Speaker A: Night, grandma. [00:48:08] Speaker B: Are you guys going to gamble? I know you guys are all going to gamble, aren't you? [00:48:12] Speaker D: Yep. [00:48:13] Speaker C: At least a little. [00:48:15] Speaker A: Probably, dude. Probably barely anything like in the casino, but they've got a sports book there, so I'm down to. I'm down to go sweat something out in the sports book for sure. [00:48:25] Speaker B: Fuck. Yeah. [00:48:26] Speaker D: I'm gonna. [00:48:26] Speaker C: Probably gotta get on the craft stable at least once. [00:48:29] Speaker D: Yeah, I'll play with you a little bit. [00:48:31] Speaker B: Levi, you can teach me how to do it. [00:48:32] Speaker C: I mean, I. I won't play a ton, to be honest. I'm not trying to gamble a bunch, but I. I always think it's super fun to get on the craft stable and see how long you can make it last. [00:48:43] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah, I'm down to do that a little bit. I also want to eat like a bomb ass steak dinner. So if we need to do that on site at. We could paw or like go somewhere. There's some sick steakhouses in Phoenix that we should hit up. [00:48:56] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:48:57] Speaker A: Doesn't even have to be super expensive. Like, I'm sure we could get a really good steak dinner for like less than 100 bucks. [00:49:02] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. [00:49:04] Speaker C: Well, if we got the minivan, we could definitely do that. [00:49:07] Speaker D: Dude, the minivan is. I am not opposed. Minivan is. Is the move. [00:49:13] Speaker A: I mean, with four. Four guys in an Uber is not going to be very expensive either. [00:49:17] Speaker C: No, no, not at all. [00:49:21] Speaker B: James. You're gonna. You're gonna give us all money to gamble with because all the gambling you've been doing on your. You're up 1200 bucks and you're gonna pass out some hundos to your boys. [00:49:34] Speaker D: That cool, man. But no, no. [00:49:38] Speaker B: You'Re not gonna pick me up from the airport. You're not gonna give me money to gamble with. What are you doing? What are you. Why are you even going. [00:49:44] Speaker D: I'll buy you a cigar, dude. [00:49:46] Speaker B: 2. I'll buy you one cigar. Two cigars, please. [00:49:50] Speaker D: We're on a team. And you Hit a good shot. I'll buy you a second one over. [00:49:55] Speaker A: Under 10 cigars for me on this trip. [00:49:59] Speaker B: Over. [00:50:02] Speaker A: 10. [00:50:03] Speaker C: That's a lot of cigars, dude. Her TV coughing for, like, three weeks. [00:50:07] Speaker B: Yeah, 10's a lot, dude. [00:50:08] Speaker A: 10 is a lot there for four days. [00:50:12] Speaker D: Two. [00:50:14] Speaker A: Yeah, two rounds. Good. But then you're talking about, like, at night at the casino and like, that. Like, it could get up there, dude. [00:50:24] Speaker D: Up there, I never. [00:50:26] Speaker C: Richie spends, like, 500 bucks just in cigars. [00:50:29] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah, probably. Probably at least 100, though. [00:50:34] Speaker B: I love that. [00:50:35] Speaker D: Yeah. I never used to be a stogie guy, and then I. It was like, I'll just try it on the course, and then ended up loving it, dude. It just. It's the move for sure, dude. [00:50:45] Speaker B: Nicotine's the, bro. I. I have. I'm, like, trying to get away from those pouches, bro. I'm almost out of this last pack, and I'm like, all right, I'm just gonna. [00:50:55] Speaker A: Quitting. Quitting. Chewing was. I kid you, not a million times harder than quitting alcohol. Oh, I bet chewing was so addictive, dude. [00:51:06] Speaker B: I don't even have the desire to drink. Dead ass. I really don't. I really don't. And in fact, like, when there's a family event and I know there's gonna be alcohol, there's a part of me that, like, kind of dreads it. [00:51:18] Speaker D: Totally. [00:51:19] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:51:19] Speaker D: Me and Quinn both are like. We're like, dude, we don't. We don't have to drink, right? And then we get there, and then it. [00:51:27] Speaker B: If I have one, I'm gonna have another. And, like, you know, I haven't. I haven't seen Wilden in forever, and he's, like, one of my. He's one of my best friends. Like, I literally went and, like, traveled with Wilden, you know? So if he's gonna drink, I'm gonna drink with my boy. [00:51:42] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:51:43] Speaker B: You know what I mean? [00:51:44] Speaker A: But yeah. [00:51:46] Speaker B: Yep. [00:51:47] Speaker A: You don't have to, though. [00:51:49] Speaker B: No, you're right. I don't have to. You're absolutely right. But I am going to. [00:51:52] Speaker A: But you will. Yeah. Which is totally fine, too, but. [00:51:56] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:51:57] Speaker C: You guys make me feel like the bad kid in the group. [00:52:01] Speaker A: No, you are. [00:52:02] Speaker C: I still. [00:52:06] Speaker D: At the Nuggets. [00:52:07] Speaker C: Hey. Hey, you know what? One step at a time. I've been working out again, so I don't feel as bad about the beers that I have occasionally, but. [00:52:15] Speaker A: Yeah, I love yourself up. Break yourself down. Yeah. [00:52:19] Speaker C: Yeah. You know, yeah. Go. Go get a hard. You know, like a really hard hour workout. [00:52:28] Speaker A: In, then come home, crack a beer, you know. [00:52:31] Speaker C: Oh, get my carbs in total. [00:52:33] Speaker B: Feels good. You know, one of my biggest things is like, I get up so early that like, drinking just isn't even an option. You know, I wake up at 4:00am Dude. [00:52:44] Speaker A: Dude, Levi, I don't know how you take care of two kids with drinking. I was thinking about it and I was like so stressed out at one point and I was like, this is like the level of stress that would cause me to like, drink. And it would make my life so much harder if I decided to drink. Yeah, so much harder. [00:53:02] Speaker C: I mean, I. I mean I don't, I don't like sit there and get hammered. [00:53:06] Speaker B: Like. [00:53:07] Speaker C: Yeah, you know, I mean, I. I go and I have like a couple beers, like two beers, like during a Nuggets, like watching a Nuggets game or something. And then, I mean, sure, I'm definitely more tired in the morning, but I. I have a routine. Like, no matter what, I get my ass out of bed at 5:20 and. [00:53:27] Speaker A: Yeah, you've always been good at going, dude. [00:53:29] Speaker C: Yeah. And then I. Well, I mean I. I step in the shower. I make sure I give myself enough time to wake up before the kids get up. And that's the key. Like, it's never. It's not fun those mornings, but like, go sit in the shower for a little bit and then brush my teeth and get a cup of coffee and feel like I'm doing it. [00:53:49] Speaker A: I've never handled hangovers well, never. Even when I didn't have kids, like in college, dude, I would get hangovers and say that all day. Like it was never. Oh, man. So certain people can do it a lot easier than others. I was not Richie. [00:54:07] Speaker C: Just puking hung over his loud ass vomit. [00:54:11] Speaker A: Never, never, never puked hungover. Never puked the day after. [00:54:17] Speaker B: Really? [00:54:17] Speaker C: Really. [00:54:18] Speaker A: It was always. It was always the night of. [00:54:21] Speaker D: I'm the opposite. [00:54:22] Speaker C: I've only honestly done that. [00:54:24] Speaker A: And once I started, bro, it was not stopping. [00:54:27] Speaker B: Damn, dude, James is the loudest puker in the world. It's ridiculous. [00:54:35] Speaker D: Not anymore. [00:54:37] Speaker A: Yeah, awesome. [00:54:38] Speaker B: Well, let's run this bag, dude, after GRC and have all our crazy ass stories. By the way, Rich, you brought something up during the Nuggets game. Let's get some recordings, bro. Let's record. Yeah, like even like the night at the casino or dinner, all that. [00:54:53] Speaker A: Yeah, dude, like, I've been watching so much YouTube Golf, like, good, good and everything. And I'm so jealous of those guys. So, yeah, I want to like do like a Miniature. [00:55:06] Speaker B: Dude, I don't want to do a miniature. I want to do a full on Golf Channel dead. [00:55:11] Speaker A: Yeah, but I'm just saying, like, yeah, this will be test gotten me in the mood to like, do it. [00:55:15] Speaker C: So. [00:55:16] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm down, dude. Let's go. We'll document the trip and we literally. [00:55:20] Speaker D: Have all the shit. [00:55:21] Speaker C: Dude, I was going to say, you guys bring in your GoPros. [00:55:24] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:55:25] Speaker B: The GoPros, the two drones, the three cameras, the literally. [00:55:31] Speaker A: What do you want? [00:55:32] Speaker B: What do you want? We got it. [00:55:34] Speaker A: Yeah, we're coming to do it. [00:55:37] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:55:37] Speaker D: Yeah. That's the only problem that literally is. [00:55:40] Speaker B: Our only problem is we were gonna recruit Luky Dookie, but the problem is he's gonna want to golf with us. He's not gonna sit there and record us golfing. [00:55:48] Speaker D: So my. I was actually curious if we should download a. So here's my dilemma. I. I'm. I want to do the same thing because I think just documenting it in general is going to be fun. [00:55:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:55:59] Speaker D: And it'll. It'll just make it just be like. [00:56:02] Speaker A: Just be fun to look back on and. [00:56:03] Speaker D: Yeah, totally, totally. But I also want to be present and in the moment, so I don't want to overdo it. But I think if there's a fine line of us just getting a certain amount of stuff and then maybe a shot tracer app, maybe we should, like, look into that and, and see what that would look like to be able to do shot tracer. That's my only. [00:56:23] Speaker A: You can do that after the fact, can you? [00:56:26] Speaker C: Yeah, that's how they do it in. [00:56:28] Speaker A: Good. [00:56:28] Speaker C: Good. [00:56:29] Speaker A: Yep. [00:56:30] Speaker D: Oh, but why do the guys say you stepped in front of the tracer? [00:56:34] Speaker C: Because if the software can't. Yeah. [00:56:37] Speaker D: Oh, okay. [00:56:39] Speaker A: So it just. It tracks your. And it's not super accurate like theirs is, obviously, because they're really good at it. Like, you can. You can throw a tracer on your. Like, we don't need it to be all. [00:56:49] Speaker D: So it doesn't even have to be phone. Not even just the camera. [00:56:52] Speaker A: Yeah, totally. [00:56:54] Speaker D: Okay, well, that's good to know. [00:56:56] Speaker A: Cool. Yep. All right, man. Well, thanks for setting this up. Yeah. [00:57:00] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:57:01] Speaker A: Let's bring back some GRC hardware. [00:57:04] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, dude, let's go put pirates. Did anybody get a flag? [00:57:08] Speaker C: No. [00:57:11] Speaker B: I was thinking about it, but I'm like, I'm not going to spend $30 for a flag and then I'm. [00:57:14] Speaker C: Going to use it. [00:57:14] Speaker A: Dude. You know what's sick too, is the Broncos are hopefully going to have a buy next week. We're not gonna have to worry about missing a team. [00:57:22] Speaker B: That's true. [00:57:23] Speaker C: That's huge Nuggets game, though. Well, two. [00:57:28] Speaker A: I think we'll. Yeah, we'll sweat something out for the Nuggets. [00:57:32] Speaker B: Yeah, but. [00:57:32] Speaker C: Well, I wonder if it'll be playing at the sports book. [00:57:36] Speaker B: Has to be. [00:57:37] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:57:38] Speaker A: Doesn't have to be. [00:57:40] Speaker B: Has to be. Has to be, baby. It's the number. [00:57:44] Speaker A: Starters out. [00:57:45] Speaker C: If. If someone has a computer I can log into Fubo. [00:57:49] Speaker B: Just all crowd into a hotel room around one computer. [00:57:53] Speaker C: Hotel room. Watch. Well, I'll bring a H, an HDMI cord and hook it up to the TV. [00:57:59] Speaker D: I'm gonna walk in and put 100 on black and then see how that starts my gamble. [00:58:04] Speaker A: 100 on black 13? [00:58:07] Speaker B: Yeah, that'd be sick. [00:58:09] Speaker D: No, I'm a zeros guy. I play the zeros. [00:58:12] Speaker B: That's smart. [00:58:14] Speaker A: No letting it, bro. Blackjack and poker. All right, cool. [00:58:21] Speaker B: All right, guys. [00:58:22] Speaker C: All right. [00:58:22] Speaker A: Later, boys. [00:58:24] Speaker D: See you.
