Folks, we got a nice show today. Shane Ryan is going to be joining this show, who is an author

of my favorite Rider Cup book and maybe a golf book ever written. So we're going to go deep into

everything, Ryder Cup. That's going to be

objective from a, from a journalist, an author, and it's going to be a little different, which I'm

excited about. Before that, you're going to get yours truly opining a little bit about a couple

different things. A big one is Beth Page Black. Beth Page Black, just a big announcement

from the PG of America. It's going to be hosting the KPMG Women's PGA Championship in a couple

years, 233. It's going to be hosting the men's PGA championship yet again. And I really do go into

how awesome of a venue I think that is, the direction that I think the PGA of America should focus on going when it comes to its identity and to other venues.

And I really go through a good amount of the venues that have been U.S. Open venues, PGA championship venues, Rydor Cup venues, where they should fit and how I just kind of how I think the PGA championship can really help to solidify its identity. And I think this is a great step towards that. And then the interview with Shane Ryan where again, you're going to get all your Ryder Cup hype. He's been on golf, has been all over the place right now as kind of the Ryder Cup expert and the Ryder Cup guy. It's all brought to you by Chevy, which is athletic, bold, and commanding. The Equinox EV is what we're here to talk about. It's going to help you show up in style. It's got the 17-inch diagonal center screen. You've heard us talk about this, but when you see it, it's 17-inch screen in the front is massive. It is all about the interior, as Frankie says, the Equinox EV offers 319 miles of EPA estimated

electric range with front wheel drive. It's got just, it's got everything you can possibly want.

It's, it's 2025. And Chevy's been doing this for over 100 years. They've been making EVs

for over a decade. And Equinox EV, it's the right one. It's the smartest choice that you can make. So when it comes to EVs, make sure you check out that Chevy Equinox EV. Let's do this. Let's talk some golf. Oh, Rick. What's up, my brother? I've got a buddy who struggles with that shot. A lot. His name's Frankie Barrelli. So the guys actually gave him a nickname of butter knives because he always knifes it across the green. Broke 100. Now you gotta break 90. We appreciate what you guys do for golf. It's been really cool. Thank you. You're making it cool. We appreciate it. I was like, hey, Phil, you only fucking $29.99. And he grabs 100. He's like, yeah, I won $90,000 of these yesterday. He goes, take 100 and you go, fuck yourself. What? What are you guys fishing? This ain't a hobby. Foreplay, president of my barstool sports. We're going to have a of Ryder Cup chatter on this show, but we're not going to get it necessarily from Azander Schoffley, who's going to be into the event. We're going to get it from Shane Ryan, who wrote, you know, I book that I've touted a bunch as we get closer to these Rider Cups. I always tout it, but the cup they couldn't lose by Shane Ryan, America, the Rider Cup,

and the long road to whistling straits.

This guy is just, he's a golf writer journalist for Golf Digest, writes books,

wrote the best book that I've ever read on the Ryder Cup and one of the best golf books I've ever read.

And I really want to get into his objective opinion on the Ryder Cup, what makes a good Rider Cup and one of the best golf books I've ever read. And I really want to get into his

objective opinion on the Rider Cup, what makes a good Rider Cup captain team course importance,
