Summary
This Wednesday episode is overflowing with the bounty that the content gods continue to provide. Andy and Brendan did not intend to start with LIV, but a remark here and there near the top, and 30 minutes of harsh words, laughs at specious explanations, and many, many expletives (EARMUFFS kids!) later, well, they went on a lot about Brooks, Reed, Perez, Bryson, and Wolff’s Portland performances. There are also some thoughts about the many shortcomings and make-it-up-as-we-go state of the current LIV product. The second half of the pod is largely dedicated to more significant PGA Tour changes, including the announcement of strengthened “strategic alliance” with the Euro Tour and more various pathways to the PGA Tour. Do they need to get leaner, not more alliance-y? The John Deere featured groups are discussed as well, with one put up as the “WOAT” in the history of pga tour featured groups coverage.

| 1:11.0 | But first things first, it's still June, and the month has been just a corticopia of content, and it's not going out quietly. |
| 1:22.0 | We had a bunch more off-the-course news as has been the theme in professional golf for the last six months, it feels like not on the course, so much as off-the-course between alliance strengthening. |
| 1:38.0 | It's pretty unlikeable professional golfers running their mouth, talking a bunch of nonsense, trying to cover their ass in a way that, you know, but just feel a lot more genuine and by not saying some of the things they said and just saying the truth. |
