Summary

It's a Friday episode about nothing as Andy and Brendan provide some Friday whimsy before heading into the weekend. To start things off, there's some postseason baseball cleanup as Producer PJ returns after missing Wednesday's recording to see the Mets. Brendan laments that the Guardians are facing elimination against a team that they repeatedly beat in the regular season and calls for the MLB playoffs to have a staggered start like the Tour Championship. Andy reveals that PJ skipped the Mets' clincher to produce a Fried Egg Pod, but will be rewarded with a potential trip to Phoenix for the Charles Schwab Cup Championship. This serves as a transition into golf talk, as there's plenty of Jay Don Blake cleanup from Wednesday's episode. Jay Don has been prominently featured across the PGA Tour's social media this week and the excitement for his Thursday round is palpable. Jay Don's nephew took to the SGS YouTube comments to defend his uncle, not realizing that Andy and Brendan pop nearly all sponsor exemptions or older players playing in PGA Tour events. After hearing some murmurs through the grapevine, Tosti's caddie from the Sanderson writes in to share the tale of his weekend on the bag. Brendan then breaks out a 1999 PGA Tour media guide to read about Jay Don and this leads into a rabbit hole of obscure 1990s Tour pros. Andy lands on the Wikipedia page of J.L. Lewis, reading it almost in its entirety. To wrap things up, Andy and Brendan read some Golf Advice emails, discussing podcasts to sleep, a Scotland golf trip, and a Jack Nicklaus letter about some poorly-placed trees.
