Summary

This Friday night episode is a debrief at the midpoint of the U.S. Open. Andy and Brendan react to Dick Bland, long an SGS notable, taking the freaking lead at a major. But has he gone too mainstream? There are some historical trends offered for why Torrey is a flawed venue but also why we may be in for an exciting sprint on the weekend. The subject of Bryson figuring out a swing fix in his dreams is debated. Is he an idiot or a genius that knows how to play the media? Or both? The Dylan Wu debacle is another exhibit in the embarrassment of having a KFT event opposite the U.S. Open. Biggest surprise nominees lead to a discussion on Matthew Wolff and Bubba, who has a truly horrendous U.S. Open record. A biggest MC disappointment discussion hits on Tony Finau, the Baton Boy, and J Kokrak.

1:06.0	There are a lot of punches. Yeah, I've been taking some punches, some soccer punches this week.
1:13.0	Oh, that's right. You've been called a snob, a wolf mobster, incompetent, uneducated. It's been a long week for me.

1:35.0	Doesn't seem like things need a good personal overgolf, you know?

2:04.0	They're going to show golf, but not on the golf channel. The channel for golf. They suddenly stop it for the last hours.
2:11.0	It's beyond my comprehension. Like I don't make those peacock downloads.
2:17.0	You know, peacock's been used in X number of households this year.
