Summary
An episode recorded in the immediate afterglow of a fine tournament for Eddie, finishing just outside the top-10 at the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth and ensuring that his dogs will eat tonight. Iain and Andrew have recovered from the emotional wringer that any follower of Eddie is put through and they wonder what is the correct way to show your support for golfers who are, by and large, unhinged. They also find praise for Rory McIlroy after another near miss, wonder exactly why Billy Horschel isn’t on The American Presidents Cup team and have an encounter with a man who seems determined to ensure that the name Gary survives for years to come.

| 0:32.3 | Hi there, that's not going to be a thing. |
| 0:34.7 | Here we are with the latest chipping forecast. |
| 0:39.6 | We are recording this not too long after the finish of the BMW PJ Championship at Wentworth, 2024. What a finish it was. I'm Andrew Cotter. I'm in the media |
| 0:45.2 | centre at Wentworth. Ian Carter was here bringing all the drama to the masses with updates during, |
| 0:51.9 | I presume it was, what was it, Man City Arsenal? Were you nipping into that and interrupting? |
| 0:56.7 | Yeah, a lot of pressure, a lot of pressure. |
| 0:59.2 | Actually, when McElroy made his eagle, I managed to muscle my way onto the air in the middle of the commentary, |
| 1:06.4 | and it's halfway through describing the eagle putt that he made on the 17th. |
| 1:10.6 | And who scored the first goal, Harland, wasn't it, for Manchester City? |

| 1:19.5 | And I'm thinking, oh, my God, I'm going to have to shut up here. |
| 1:21.8 | I literally said about five words. |
| 1:24.1 | And John Murray took over and commentated on the goal. |
| 1:29.1 | God, it's so scary doing those updates in the middle of a, you know, a massive football match. You kind of know where you sit |
| 1:34.3 | in the sporting pecking order as exciting as it was. And what a thrilling PGA it was, you have to |
| 1:39.9 | give way to Manchester City against Arsenal. So yeah, it was a bit of a stressful afternoon one way |

| 1:59.5 | football commentator, he's no longer there, who I was doing an update.. I was doing for five live and into a football match. And there's a football commentator. He's no longer there who I was doing an update. And I was to give 30 seconds. I think I did. I did. I was young and naive and excited. And I grew up to about 40 seconds. But they left his mic faded up and you and you hear him over my update going, I'm not going going to do the accent. I'll give it away. He said said, dear oh dear, we might as well be at the rugby.
