Now the shotgun's starting golf is full of mathematics, there's a lot of a lot of setup work that we have to do in order to make a tournament work, so I'm going to demonstrate to you just exactly how we do a shotgun start here.

And here we go.

All right, all right, all right.

Ladies and welcome to a Friday edition of the Shotgun Start. It is December 16th. Andy, how are we doing?

Brandon, I'm doing good. Just, you know, I had my, you know, completed about the cold, you know, people are listening, my, you know, they're praying for me, and I got sent in the mail.

A nice cozy, cozy new sweatshirt. Thanks to the white barriot club, you know, they're, they're, they're turf team and club leadership just were worried about how cold I was.

And they sent me a sweatshirt that their turf crew uses in the winter.

Very Christmas, you know, I guess we can expect an honest review for club, TV of white barriot club, when you come across that subject, you've been corrupted, like you have with kitchen top appliances, counter top appliances, now sweatshirts from golf courses.

So there we go. I'm happy for you. You'll stay a little warmer and you're a little shed, which you tidied up a little bit looks less like a, you know, bombers, you know, screened and more like, I don't know, just a, maybe you're the hostage taker and not the hostage himself.

Now that you've tidied up a little bit, listen, is this step one step two? I feel like I'm, you know, if we ever got done with this year in review, I might get a chance to fix up the shed, but all my free times being spent researching for this.

I was like, what have you gotten for Christmas? I was like, nothing, every free moment I've done is on year review. I'm not shopping. This happens, seems to happen every year. I don't know that it would happen. Otherwise, if we didn't have the year in review, but I don't know what to do.

My wife, I bought my wife something yesterday, a gift yesterday. And last night, she's like, I'd really like this. Yeah. And she showed me exactly what I got her. So now, that's awesome. Well, now she's going to think I only got it because she said something about it. It's bullshit.

You can play this tape. You can play this tape. That's great. It's good on you. You know, it would have been, if she didn't say anything, it would have been perfect. I would have, I would have gotten the gift that she really wanted. And she would have been like, oh, he just, you know, but now she's going to be like, well, I told them, I want to eat that.

Anyway, something that's preposterously expensive, like hair dryer arrangement thing, not multiple pieces. I don't know. And it's like, just get this. So I got it. It's just like, it's great. You know, it's very expensive. You'll just do that one deal.

But now I'm getting dain for lack of thoughtfulness. It made it easy. I got a nice expensive gift that she wants. But I'm going to get dain for not having to be put on a tee over the, you know, for me. And I get dain for not being thoughtful. Whereas, you know, I don't know. It's like, kind of damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Or else I end up with some shitty gift she didn't want. That's probably cheap or, you know, it's kind of a catch.

Yeah. Well, this is the thing. You hear, like I still hear about Christmas 2017. And how, how disappointed.

You know, it's like, oh, well, you know, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't get you exactly what you wanted. I didn't read your mind.

But I think I have a lot of questions. What was Christmas? What you get? Like a gift card game.

I can't remember what the year. All right. All right. All right. I still, I still hear about the first Valentine's day when we weren't officially dating.

And I didn't really get her anything. And she got me something. And I thought there was a great, great situation early in the relationship.

I knew where she stood. And she didn't know where I stood. There you go. I like that. I like that. You kind of want to let them make their first move.
