That's next Thursday, our one year anniversary party for the station ninety seven one The Freak at the Echo Lounge and Music Hall down there in Dallas. Please come on out and pack the
house with this. Next Thursday gonna be a wild night. There's something that Mike and I are very excited about that begins at twelve thirty AM and Mike, it all starts with one of the most dangerous and terrifying things you could even imagine. Yeah, you've heard this forever in golf land that even these huge names, I mean the big every name you could think of. I wonder, I don't know if I have a quote of Tiger Woods on this
thing, but it's called the most terrifying shot in golf. It is the first t box at a Ryder Cup that these dudes who have won majors and all over the world and the best on the planet, they're freaking out and they will be freaking out starting at twelve thirty am this evening. And if you're not up for it, or you're not crazy like Kat and try to make the late night run to stay awake all night, you'll see the highlights
of it. Because at the Ryder Cup they have this five thousand seat cauldron where you kind of walk through this tunnel and you walk out and for the American team, I mean, you have a road vibe to this thing. It's the only time in golf where this is the case. There are people sort of actively cheering against you, loudly chanting against you. Now, they don't like yell in your backswing or anything like that, especially in Europe, they're very respectful, but like one bit is you get up there right,
they did this last year. The American fans did it. And let's say a European is up there and he gets up kind of behind the ball and he takes like a practice swing, and the whole crowd goes, whoa, whoa. They do it twice, and then when he gets up to address his real ball, they don't make a peep, but in your head you can hear it echoing. You're like, they're not gonna do it here,
sure that, and then bam, you already hit it. Like it's just the most chaotic shot in golf, and it's called the most terrifying shot in golf. As you walk to the first tea, I have some quotes from dudes rider cups passed and present who talked about the stress of walking on that
tea, especially in road conditions. But they freak out at home too, especially if your first rider Cup. Justin Thomas, who's on the American team, says, I mean, I've won two majors, I won fifteen times, and it doesn't hold a candle how nervous I've been in rider Cups, and how nervous I was on the first tea in Paris. I was last rider Cup on the road, it's a totally different feeling. Justin Thomas elected hit a five would off the tea and he said, I don't know if
I could have put it on a tee. I couldn't have done it, Like I was too nervous to where I couldn't even get the ball on the tee. And that might be hyperbole. I don't know. Hell, I matches where I've been a little nervous. That's still a lot. And if that, if that road crowd sees you you struggle to put the ball in the tee, they're gonna lose their mind too, and then you're gonna lose your mind as a result of it. Yes, that is a thread.
It's the only like visceral thing where you can see the nerves. I mean it's it's a tiny little tea and it's a round golf ball. Like if you're nervous, fine, I mean they can't see that, but if you can't tee it up, it's a real thing. Luke Donald said of the European team years ago, he said, walk into the tea, I felt pretty normal and confident, and as soon as they mentioned my name, my
knees and my legs started to go to jelly all. I was thinking, let's get this ball in the tea, and this is before they even swing. Some dude named Barry Lane was on the European team years ago nineteen ninety three, said I was physically ill on the walkdown from the putting green to the first tea. When we got there, I actually couldn't speak. But the thing that gave me heart was watching Corey Paven who's on the Americans team, trying to get the ball in the tea. I could see his knees
knocking through his trousers. That made me feel better. So there, everyone is dealing with this to varying degrees, and your experience certainly dictates it quite a bit. But just the idea of I can't tee the ball up, the most basic thing you do in golf. It's amazing. One million times they've balls up in their life and they can't do it. And European Padrick Harrington said, I couldn't even see the golf ball. I was so I
was just so nervous, I couldn't even see it. And eventually you've wasted enough time and you're just standing over the ball like in the most How did I get here a moment and then you say to yourself, well, I've just got to go. I've got to hit dude. I cannot wait. And that's why I'm gonna stay up at twelve thirty. Yeah, I mean they're gonna announce the pairings in it like an hour or two hours. Yeah. And I'm probably gonna gamble on it a little bit too, because you
can. Yeah. And it's like the fact that you can tough trash. I'm sorry. This is so different than golf. I know, I don't love people have hard opinions about golf. It's different and it feels different when you watch it. It is not the same thing. Yeah, and you just need to just give it a chance, to give it fifteen minutes, to give it twenty minutes, and try to understand what the scoring is because that's you know, it's a little different. But if anything, they give
you the graphic that shows the flags on there. That really helps you out. So I mean I remember as a kid just saying, okay, you track it to see how the American flags are doing. Yeah, if you're watching passively, they just keep bringing that full screen up all the time. Yes, one up, all right, it's all happening at once too. I mean they're here and then over to a whole four and you can hear sometimes you can hear the buzz and the other side of the course and the
chance will start and they will probably be heavy. I don't know if it'll be as heavy of a European crowd as usual in Italy compared to you're traditionally when they're in the UK or they're in Scotland or something like that Italy. I mean, it'll still be heavy Europe but like it maybe no. I bet it'll be as much or more because the last like eight rider cups, it's it's been like the ball going down the hill gaining. They know they're
gonna be on camera. If they have matching outfits, I mean you will have a damn Cavo in the crowd. You're gonna have Super Mario outfits. Maybe ten people dressed as Mario and Luigi back and forth, like you're gonna have those kind of bits. They get there when the sun is not even thinking about coming up. They wait, they sprint, they get in the front row, they have their chants ready and because they know more TV,
more coverage, there will be no step down and all that stuff. It's interesting the last couple of days and kind of leading up to this weekend, how you guys have been so cited about this, maybe CAVO a little bit more. That's your favorite sporting event in the world, number one, And I don't know. I didn't know a lot about the Ryder Cup. I've learned a lot. And to see to hear what you're saying, the testimonials of these golfers you know that have made these shots a million times, had
put a ball on a t million times. To hear them add so much weight to this moment, to this tournament. It's pretty eye opening because to the casual to less than casual golf fan that knows the names of some of these guys can maybe you know, see them and go, oh, yeah, I know that dude, that's Scotti, Scheffler or whatever. The Tiger Woods generation that you know liked golf because of the Tiger phenomenon. I gotta
be honest with you. Most people that watch golf that way they think of the right Cup is okay, yeah, way do you realize that way below? Not even way below? And they jam it. In football season two season the scoring of it the way they play the stroke play, match play, whatever it's it's completely different and it takes, uh, you kind of
got to recalculate your brain to figure out who's winning. I think they're not getting paid and if it's a tie, it goes to the you know, it's just a lot of it's it's so different from you know, what you're used to in normal golf. And I know that they're golf people that are like thinking, I'm a complete moron right now, but I'm telling you I'm the majority. Yeah, you're you're right. Just kind of fly by some tournaments now and then and maybe just watch majors. Need to stop thinking that
everyone's a moron. I've been clamoring for this for a long time, for golf people to ff and chill a little bit, okay, and I think they've started. They're haughty, they're just who and they've you know, me and Mike are your average guy. We're just a couple of guys hanging out at the bar. We're just normal men. Just there's innocent men. We're just innocent men. We have scorching a hot Rider cup predictions coming at you at nine. Yes, we're gonna step inside Hell's halfway house, including one
three of the hottest I got big ones. You just dangled one out there that Mario and Luigi. I didn't even make a list. We're gonna have Mario Luigi in the crowd. You've been to a Ryder Cup never? Never? What about you? Super not at all. I don't even think i'd want to go because I enjoy watching it so much last year or two years ago at Whistling Straits. Being Wisconsin, man, that would have been the one to go to. And I know we had some friends that went from
our previous spot. Oh but dude, it's gonna calm here. It's gonna be in Frisco like in a decade. Oh my god, yes, if I'm if we're still alive, absolutely, yeah, absolute, if the planet still exists, it's gonna be a hot Rider cup or who knows, yea
snowing it might be snowing it is yeah. Uh. Lastly, it's the only time these dudes don't aren't golfing just for themselves, which is why the nerves are the case, your golfer, for your partner, your team, and your country, and that all just adds up in their heads and all is build up of oh my god, I hope I make the team, to that moment when you try to put your tea in the ground on the first tea. Yeah, that's why they lose their minds. But that's what
makes it feel different. No money, yes, pride, Yes, partner and team and it just creates a whole different thing. So the money that's not going to the prize, okay, prize money for the golfers, that would be a lot of cash. And this this tournament is going to generate a lot of advertisers, a lot of people are going to be watching it. Where does all that money that they're saving go? This is interesting? Yeah, I mean it could be a part of the This might have been
one of fields, right, you know, I don't know. I truly don't know. Does it go to THEA and RNA? And probably there's a phrasing golf that I am so whipped by. And it's such an excuse and a crutch And it's so much prevalent with this live versus PGA thing last two years and it's grow the game, gonna grow with it. We're gonna grow the kay. All we're trying to do is grow the game. It's like,
what is shut up? What does that mean? It's all rich people using land that probably should be used for something else and using funding that should be used for something else. I mean, golf is not good for the environment. I hear, grow the game. I just go just just be honest, grow the wiener. That's what you mean. Let's grow. That's what we need to do. And schmeers larry birds, larry birds, mustache fertilizer. I have one last spirit to think, Danny, for you to
watch for. Okay, So Tiger Woods took the golf celebration to a new level, you know, beginning in the late nineties. The fist pump. Okay, what you're going to see here is a lot of revd up guys. Because it is highly competitive and it's highly tense, and you have a team elment. You're gonna see a combination of the boring fist pumps okay, because golfers don't know how to celebrate when they make a putt. They just do this there nerves and the bad high fives. You're gonna see so many
miss changes. One of my predictions, by the way, really yeah, okay, someone's an awkward white guy high fives. It's gonna be a million lock. Yeah. They don't know how to high five. Poorly executed high fives get super excited. They don't know what to do. They don't like someone be creative and go full cheech Rode. Something with your with your your American teammates, come up with something, some cool things. Yeah, you know the gritty, you know the gritty, showing the gritty Kevin, let's
see it. Oh my god, that's pretty good. Look you're a regular Mike Gasecki. Are you okay? Are you okay? You just Mike Jiesseck jokes. Uh, you're gonna see a lot of crowd shishing. You're gonna shush the crowd and then we'll see the noise. Did you see what? Guys? Does he not know how to shush either? Is he saying I could do all TV? Sounds like the bad Marjara Cobra. Come on, let's use our inside voices. Oh my god, I'll talk about no voices
from you. Tam here, Tam, let's hear Kats scuttle butte okay? Cool? Oh yeah, all right, I don't know what you do that. We can do that, guys. You guys want to do that. I want to finish this because we taught about the man hunts earlier. We got him, we didn't know, we don't know where he's at, but maybe at nine thirty five will make a little room for the Chandler Jones tweet series. Okay, I'm just seeing that on the that's what's happening. He
has been up for a while and he's been tweeting. Tanelord j plays with the Raiders, and he is very disgruntled and he is not He's just trying to Basically, I don't want to play for Mark Davis. I don't want to play for Josh McDaniels. But I do want to play for the Raiders. Maybe we'll get to that. Nine thirty fives a lot to sift through. Well, we didn't finish the other day, though, was something that
I wanted to finish up because I think it's important. I like when things are happening locally in our city, and the scuttle butt always want to be local.
