Summary
This lively Wednesday episode begins with a Chicago sports minute that turns into five or six minutes on the turnover at Halas Hall and the larger cohort of cheapskates that own Chicago teams. Then it’s on to the Sony Open, where Andy and Brendan delight in the field at another one of the great early-year stops. The backboards should return, but softness may as well, mitigating their usage at Waialae. The schedule for the week features the triumphant return of televised golf from Australia, as well as an overnight option in Singapore. You could watch golf all round the clock this week. News concludes with a shakeup in the honorary starters at the Masters and some comments on the loss of Tim Rosaforte.

| 0:00.0 | Now the shotgun's starting golf is full of mathematics, there's a lot of a lot of setup work that we have to do in order to make a tournament work, so I'm going to demonstrate to you just exactly how we do a shotgun start here. |
| 0:14.0 | And here we go. |
| 0:17.0 | All right, all right, all right. |
| 0:21.0 | Determine! |
| 0:24.0 | Start your end game! |
| 0:29.0 | Greetings and welcome to a Wednesday edition of the shotgun start. It is January 12th, Andy. How are we doing? |
| 0:45.0 | Brendan! I'm doing great, you know? I had a really busy day. It was just a churn and stuff out. It was a busy bee, am I end? |
| 0:55.0 | How are you doing? |
| 0:57.0 | I'm good, I'm fantastic. It's a week two here in the PGA tour. Real winter has visited Maryland. I don't know if it's real winter by your standards. It is by my standard now. It's like 20, dip in below 20 winchills in the teens. |
| 1:12.0 | So winter is upon us. I was getting worried that it didn't get cold anywhere anymore. I'm hearing about, you know, people playing golf in December, up in the Midwest, in Ohio, and Maryland, but now it's cold. It's officially cold season. |
| 1:25.0 | And it looks like that bills game is going to be one degree on Saturday night for bills. Pat's just, yeah, the freeze has come. Speaking of cold NFL, is it cold Chicago? I assume it is. |
| 1:38.0 | It's been awful. I got to get out. It's time. I got to get out. I got to go. I got to figure out where I'm fleeing too. And I need to get out. |
| 1:55.0 | Oh, that's good. It's always good to get some weather talk up here. A small chat like me and the pickup line at school, weather talk. |
| 2:03.0 | But I mean, the heart should be warmed a little bit there, right? With the cleaning house at whatever, what's the name, Hallis Hall? Is that the name of it? |
| 2:14.0 | What do they call it, Hallis Hall? That's a little. I know, but is it like that make it sound like it's this gothic piece of architecture on some college. |
| 2:23.0 | What are you going to call it? Is it an office park in Lake Forest or something like that up north? Hallis Hall? I've never driven by it. |
| 2:30.0 | You know, but I don't know. You always hear about what's going on in Hallis Hall, but you never see pictures of Hallis Hall. This is a good question. |
| 2:39.0 | It makes it sound. I thought it was just like another building in an office. My dad works like in a building right by Hallis Hall. |
| 2:47.0 | But I've never, you know, been to Hallis Hall. |
| 2:50.0 | Maybe they're just looking for the illiteration, but Hall just connotes something more grand and sort of classic architecturally. |
| 2:57.0 | But yeah, they had a lot of turnover. You and the Vikings GM and coach both gone in the same day. |
| 3:06.0 | Unfortunately, we need, if anybody saw the press conference with the Macaskis, we need an entire cleaning of house. I don't know if I have confidence in anything happening. |
