Summary

Andy and Brendan are without PJ for this Friday episode, prompting Andy to panic at the 53-minute mark about potentially forgetting to hit the record button. They begin on this quiet week where else but with Andy having to chaperone a preschool field trip to the pumpkin patch. Then they get to some early amusements from India, where Rory wants to play DLF and this week is keeping his driver in the locker — is this a good thing?! They whiparound on some rumors from the global home, where Brian Rolapp may be trying to figure out what is going on with some expensive operations. News touches on the rage bait of the week, Colt Knost’s sponsored podcast segment announcing he’s applying for reinstated amateur status. They bat this one around for a few minutes before moving to some rumors about the Schwab Cup finale and a hefty golf advice segment.
