| 0:00.0 | The following content contains some explicit language that might not be suitable for children or Mormons. |
| 0:09.6 | It's Monday, April 15th, 2019, from slated to the gist I'm Mike Pesca. |
| 0:18.6 | Wait, what am I missing? This was a big weekend for. Wait, what am I missing? Like Tiger Woods. |
| 0:24.8 | If you're a big golf fan, you know the ups and downs the Travelles, but if you're not a big golf fan, |
| 0:29.6 | and I checked in with a number of people in my life who weren't big golf fans, and I said to them, |
| 0:34.1 | hey, name a golfer, they all would say Tiger Woods. And if I said name the best golfer, they'd also say, |
| 0:40.0 | I guess Tiger Woods. They didn't know the Tiger Woods for a while hadn't been the best golfer. |
| 0:45.1 | So when I told them, hey, Tiger won the Masters, they said, yes, isn't that what happens? I mean, sure, |
| 0:50.7 | they knew about the sex scandal, but every athlete has a sex scandal and when, when have we ever cared? |

| 1:27.8 | you actually had. If you knew a lot about golf, they were trying to convince you that Tiger wasn't coming back, |
| 1:33.6 | but just the average person who said, oh, this guy was like the most dominant ever and the sport is golf. |
| 1:38.4 | Yeah, he'll come back to dominate and guess what he did. Same deal with Brexit, the less you follow, |
| 1:43.6 | the smarter you are. So wait, wait, you're telling me that Great Britain's gonna leave the EU, |
| 1:48.4 | and that's not gonna cause a huge amount of trouble. What am I missing? I mean, it seems like a really |
| 1:53.2 | bad idea. But you know, I guess maybe you're saying I'm paying that much attention. I guess the BBC |
| 1:58.4 | talks about it like 13 times a day and the economist, they seem to understand it more than I do. All I |
| 2:04.5 | understand is it seems to be a really, really dumb thing. What am I missing? Not much. I gotta say. Same |
