One question to Pat. and we're out of here. And they're. saying in my ear, do not go another. question. So, I said, "Hey, before we. go, Travis, come over here real quick.". Congratulations. And this was the first. time the you've got a fight. >> YOU'VE GOT A FIGHT. FOR your right to. party, but the F in fight dragged on so.

long, YOU'VE GOT A. AND I was so relieved that the word came. out with an F I instead of an F. whatever. And it was you got to fight for your. right to party and I said, "You got it.

Then you. got Jim Nantz about as dialed in of a. storyteller and you know, touching on. all these different walks of life and. it's pretty wild that the sport has that. breadth. You got your muni lot with your. hair down and your. no rules. and then you can be in the grounds of. Augusta where.

you got to have. a jacket on the moment you step foot and. there's a lot of rules and decorum in. place. to protect something that's pretty. sacred. So, yeah, it's uh it's a pretty. awesome game for that. All right. All. right. Let's get into this thing, DUDE. WELCOME BACK TO NEW HEIGHTS, ladies and. gentlemen, boys and girls. This is a. Wondery show brought to you by AT&T. We. are your hosts. I'm Travis Kelce. This. is Jason Kelce, my big brother out of. Cleveland, Ohio. Man, made it back to.

SO, WE GOT TWO INCREDIBLE GUESTS. JIM NANTZ AND JOHN DALY ARE HERE. QUITE THE COMBO. QUITE THE COMBO. ALL. RIGHT, let's get right into this with a. little bit of that new news. All righty, new news is brought to you. by American Express. Travis. is going to the moon. I am. Yeah. Dude, how? Yeah, replied. NASA replied to one. of your tweets. I don't know if you saw. this. Please put this up on the screen, Brandon. I was about to say I haven't. tweeted.

since 2010. So, that would be yeah. >> while. It's been a while. Well, this is. a doozy from 2010. The moon looks crazy. tonight. I'm going to chill out here for. a little and just visualize my success. and vibe to the scenery. >> Yeah, I still do that often. >> And NASA said, "It's been a long time. coming.". >> Long time coming. I hear you. I hear. you, NASA. I hear what you're doing. I. see what you're doing. I like what. you're doing. I want to go to the moon. >> Well, I got bad news for you, Travis. You're too big. That's Do you. know that? Per Cat, I can't see the.

screen on this screen the username, but. we'll just say Per Cat, "Please let. Travis know he's too big for space. Yes, there are strict height limits for. astronauts to ensure they fit into the. spacecraft suits and workstations. NASA. generally requires candidates to stand. between. 5'2" and 6'3". So, you are too tall. Not. too tall, Jones. Too tall, Travis. Too. tall, Jones. Yeah. Too tall, Travis. >> Yeah, this is. uh this is some. some good BS right here. No way I.

believe that, but also, you know, this. is one of the Ed Kelsey's favorite. slogans, man. You know, life isn't fair. So, don't ever think it is. You don't. get to do what you want to do when you. have genes. such as. Mama Kelsey's Blaylock genes that make. you 6'5" or 6'4" and 7'8". >> Yeah, yeah, it's mostly from mom's side, for sure. Yeah, you know, it's still a. dream. >> Hopefully there's weight restrictions so. I can just not even have to ever think. about it. What do you think of this Artemis 2.

going to going to the moon, Jason? I. love it. I'm a I'm a big fan of us going. PLACES WITH ROCKETS. I HAD ANOTHER. WITH ROCKETS. I DON'T know who I was. listening to if it was Neil deGrasse. Tyson or somebody who uh you know, there's a lot of people I think are. upset with the. money expenditure on going to space and. doing these things that they. don't really see the upside in the. investment. And I think that.

uh. somebody way smarter in this space than. me was talking about just the amount of. inventions and. innovations that have taken place with. the human desire to go places they've. never been to uh that NASA has gone. through to make safe uh space travel. safer, more effective, more efficient. Um I think it's. uh I don't know that it's a net loss the. way people think that it is. >> No. And I I like discovery, right?

It would have been crazy to be alive. when Christopher Columbus gave word of. the new world over there in the west. >> but I hear what you're going with. The the. What is it? Uh. Lewis Clark? What's the other. Clark's guys? Yeah, Lewis and. >> Lewis and Clark, that's what it is. >> Yeah. Lewis and Clark going west. >> Yeah. That's not I don't think that's. THE SAME THING.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING? I DON'T KNOW. ALL I'M saying is I'm I'm. pro discovering new stuff. I think it's. cool. >> you don't you don't think we've been to. the moon? Well, I think we haven't been. in a while and we we've we've kind of. pushed the pause button on going and. doing things in space uh to this degree. So, I think going to the moon, I'd love. to see us go to Mars. Still want to see. that happen in my lifetime. Um I think that it's it's awesome that. we're we're back in the moon's orbit. >> There you go. Yeah. I'm with you. I'm.

with you. I mean, it went up in the air, right? They didn't show anything come. down yet. >> Travis, it's it's orbiting as we speak. Nice. It's up there. It's epic. >> Can't wait to see pics. Jason, I think we all know this in-house, but. um. you guys got a new dog. >> We did get a new dog. You guys are We. got a German Shepherd. Nice. We were talking about it last week, weren't we? Did that go on? Here? Didn't We weren't. recording when we talked about it. The. news hadn't broken yet. Kylie broke the. news on her show. Oh, yeah. Of course.

Scooped us. She scooped us. All right. Well, then she can have it. >> Yeah, no. We got a new dog. You want to. see it? I mean, if it's a puppy, I would. love to see it. I love Who doesn't love. puppies? All right. I'll go get him. All right. THIS IS. LOOK AT THAT PUP. THAT'S RIGHT. This is Frida. Frida. >> Or as ev- everyone is calling Freddy. Everyone is calling her Freddy around. the house. Um Where did Freddy come from? She's a.

rescue from uh What is it? The SPCA? I. always get that mixed up, but there's a. litter that was uh. PC SPCA. PCS? PSPCA. PSPCA. Anyways, yeah. No, we went down. We got. uh this a beautiful dog here. Nuggy. I'm. calling her Gunda. Gunda. Because. I like that name better. Gunda. Gunda, sit. Gunda, sit. Gunda. He's. speaking to her in. an accent.

She's German, right? Gunda. You're telling Uncle Travis it's not. Gunda? It's not Gunda. It's Freddy. >> Freddy. Nice. I like Freddy. Freddy's a. girl? Frida is a girl. Freddy is uh the. nickname. But yes. Nice. All right. That does it. for a little bit of that new news. brought to you by American Express. Let's get to a little bit of that out of. the house, which is brought to you by. Intuit TurboTax. It is officially tax. season. Not going to lie. If you haven't.

gotten them in yet, you might want to. get them in or get it done with. TurboTax. As you're watching this, Jason. and I are actually out of the house down. in Augusta, Georgia at the one and only. Masters Tournament down there at the. Augusta National. And um yeah, I'm. excited about it. I think it's going to. be a pretty uh pretty fun experience. The last time I went, I think I. mentioned this earlier, the last time I. went, I went right after COVID and there. were like limited amount of people, no. grandstands at all at if any,

uh maybe a few were up, um and it was a. very. mild experience, but I got to see the. Masters for, you know, what it was. I. got to see the course in Augusta. National and how it's like a botanical. garden in a sense with all the azaleas. and the flower pots and the trees and. just the natural beauty that the place. has. That was an amazing experience, but. I'm pumped to see this thing at full go. Like everybody is jacked up for this. Masters. Everybody's, you know, excited.

to see. uh if Rory can, you know, stay on top. like he did last year. You know, I think. there's a lot of excitement going into. this one and I'm I'm pumped to just hang. with uh my friends that uh that the. group of guys that we're going into it. with, as well as enjoy some of at least. one day with Jason. >> I think to everybody that hasn't been to. the Masters, it's just a it's a event. second to none. The way it's done, there's nothing else like it. Like. there's obviously great history in it uh.

dating back to what, 1934. Um you know, it's special not just cuz. of the how incredible the course is, uh but how it's run by uh Augusta. National, all the. people and the hospitality. A bunch of. teachers take on second jobs cuz they're. on spring break. So, a lot of the. workers there are actually school. teachers in the surrounding community. There's obviously everything that. happens at the course, but then outside. of that, there's so many parties and. events and concerts and homes that are. throwing things all week long down.

there. It's really turned into such. a week of just I mean festivities that. >> It's the It's the Super Bowl of the of. the of golf, you know, it it's it's the. biggest tournament, it's the biggest. showing, it's the it's the top players. in the world that know this is the one. that considers you could like determines. the greatness and the greatest that have. ever played this game. And there's. something really beautiful with the no. phones thing and like there's so many. things that everybody good I mean I went.

to sunrise mass this past week and you. know, every we're all taking pictures of. the sunrise and um it's it's beautiful, but the fact that you're not allowed to. have your phone in there makes everybody. be present in a way that's very uh one. just breathtaking cuz you have to take. in the scenery in the moments and the. shots, but also that you're all doing it. together. There's like a just this very. communal aspect of the love of golf that. has every walk of life down there, you.

know, CEOs or uh guys that won their. tickets in a raffle and everybody's in. the same position and you know, whoever. puts their chair down first, that's. going to be their spot. You know, that's what the tradition is. and it just it's it's a really awesome. event uh. and. something that I don't think really. replicates that I've seen so. >> like it. I'm really excited to do that. I'm excited again I'll keep mentioning. these pimento cheese sandwiches I'm. definitely getting another one of them.

Um start stacking cups. I mean I'm going. to be broadcasting the par three as. everybody knows. So I'm excited to see. that for the first time and to get a. chance to chop it up with some of the. best players in the world. I'll say this. I've had the pleasure of meeting. a lot of these guys on the PGA tour, man. And the lot of the guys on the LIV. tour. It's hard to say I'm rooting for. just one guy or I think this guy will. win it because I don't want to. shortchange anybody else that I've had. that I have like a relationship, a good. relationship with, but I am I'm pretty.

pumped to see this year's. Masters just because of, you know, where. golf is right now and how everybody the. the love and the infatuation that. everybody has with it. I mean, this year. alone you've seen guys like LeBron come. out and just be just the love of the. game has just taken him and and thrown. him into the the world of golf and um I. think all around right now like the. excitement of golf is at a. is at an all-time high. And um I think.

that's going to create a crazy and fun. atmosphere for these PGA guy or these. guys at the Masters that are the top in. the world to really go out there and hit. some amazing shots, man, and I'm. pumped for it. Let's go, baby. And that does it for Out of the House. brought to you by Intuit TurboTax. Thank you to our presenting sponsor. AT&T. The Masters is full of moments you. can't miss.

Let's see what Jim Nantz has to. say, the voice of the Masters for what. is coming up on his 41st. tournament.

Hello friends. Our guest today is a 6'3. broadcaster from the University of. Houston. He's been the voice of the. Masters for 40 years. You know him from. his time in the booth for the NCAA. tournament and the NFL on CBS. He's a. two-time Sports Emmy for most. outstanding sports personality. I can't. do it this guy. He's a MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL SPORTS. MEDIA ASSOCIATION HALL OF FAME. THE ONLY. PERSON TO COMMENTATE ON ALL FOUR GOLF. MAJORS. AND HE IS THE FIRST BROADCASTER. IN HISTORY TO SERVE AS A LEAD. PLAY-BY-PLAY announcer for the SUPER.

BOWL, THE NCAA MEN'S FINAL FOUR, AND THE. MASTERS ALL IN THE SAME CALENDAR YEAR. >> COME ON! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE. WELCOME JIM NANTZ! AH, JIM, WELCOME TO THE SHOW, BABY. WELL, HEY, hello friends. What an introduction, my gosh. Man, my. head so big right now, I'm not going to. be able to fit in the Butler cabin this. week, but I am so thrilled to be on with. the Kelce brothers. Obviously, I know you both for years.

I've loved being able to meet with you. guys in a variety of places. I'm really proud of your story, your. whole Cleveland Heights Come on, baby. >> Canton journey with a lot of stops in. between. You're awesome, and thanks for. having me on, man. This is This is my. way to start the Masters week RIGHT. HERE. >> LET'S GO, MAN. And start a whole new. tradition unlike any other. Let's do it. We're so pumped up, man. Jim, thank you. for even considering coming on here. We've We've always been huge, huge fans. of you, big guy, and this is this is.

really cool, man, but you got to tell me. that what's the secret to a good "Hello. friends?" because it's it's so iconic. And you do it There's nobody that does. it any like anywhere close to you? Well, let me just say this. I never had any. intention of this becoming a thing. But years ago, and I'm not trying to. make this too somber, I celebrate my. father all the time. He's been gone a. long time, but he battled Alzheimer's. and he was in his late stages fighting. Alzheimer's a quarter century ago and.

that became my line to him so that he. knew I was thinking of him when I came. on the air. So, I'm not going to make it. down here. I know how close you guys are to your. mom and dad. And uh that became a thing. at a at a golf event at PGA Championship. and I told him I'm going to come on the. air and I'm going to say "Hello friends, Jim Nantz here along with time." It was. Lanny Wadkins, great guy. And I said. when I say that I'm thinking of you as.

kind of channeling you. That's so. awesome. Are you kidding me? Said it. after we came on air and after the show. someone said "I heard you say hello. friends, what's that all about?" And I. told the back story and they said you. ought to say that every show. So, I. started saying it and it took about 3. years before people actually said "You. know what? You're saying that all the. time.". Right. You know the one little footnote to. this. I. there were a lot of people that were. creating merch, particularly Masters.

week that had "Hello friends" and it. looked like people thought I was I was. doing it. I was creating it. I wasn't. And so, my manager said you ought to. trademark it. So, we ought to get the copyright on. that. So, we went through a lot. a 6-month search. and we found it. We found somebody. possessed it and negotiation took place. and uh the lawyer called me and you. know, I've been writing checks to the. lawyer here since he's been working on. this thing. And he said I've got uh.

some good news and bad news. Uh we found. it. We've. uh we found the people that own it. They're willing to deal with us and I. negotiated with them and I said, "Look, I told you I'll pay a lot of money for. this. Yeah. It's personal." And they. said, "It's going to cost you 664.". And I said, "664,000?". And he said, "No, 664. dollars." I said, "Wait a minute, I paid. you. I paid you 25,000 dollars to write a. check FOR 652 DOLLARS?".

AND I CAN'T GIVE the name away, but I. can give you some hints. I bought it. from a television superstar who owned. it. This is. >> Yeah. Wrote the check, did the whole. thing. and now I own it. So, when anybody says, "Hello, friends." like you did Jason at. the top. >> Yeah. I'll give you the address, you got. to send me a check for 25,000. You got. it. You got it. I'll bring it down to the historic. Butler Cabin and pay it off.

That's it. Are you constantly thinking. about like tags and slow like you've had. so many. times throughout your career where. you're in the middle of a game and it. feels like it just comes to you. Do you. pre-plan a lot of these things before. the games or is a lot of it just coming. natural? Let me ask you this. On the eve. of games, did you ever kind of run. through the game in your mind and. actually see the play so vividly in your. head you felt like you were actually. playing but you were asleep? Yes. >> And you could actually see yourself.

moving and how you were going to react. and how you were going to. perform on that play. I do the same. thing before every show. I It's not. scripting, but I think of scenarios. I. think of what happens if Tiger wins. What's that going to feel like? What are. the stories I'm going to want to get. into? But those taglines, particularly. at Augusta. and like I said, I've been doing it for. 40 years, most of them are on the. moment, organic, this is what I feel. I don't have notes in front of me. The a.

couple of times I will have some. background stories that I I have written. down. I want to make sure I get to it. But unlike a football game where I'm. working off of spotting boards, Right. >> in golf, I like to say I'm calling it. from my heart. And what I see is what I. feel. And I'm going to let my heart. speak. So, if Rory knocks in a putt to. complete the career grand slam as we. witnessed a year ago, it struck me at. the time to say the long journey is. over. Yeah. >> McIlroy has his masterpiece. I had not.

written that down. I had not gone to bed. uh thinking uh exactly what I was going. to say, but I kind of I was noodling on. the idea of masterpiece, but the words. just kind of came out. >> Most of the time that's the way it is. and it's um. it's like um my last Super Bowl that I. called I've had the pleasure of calling. seven of them was was the game in Las. Vegas. I know it very fondly. When. Mecole Hardman caught the winning. touchdown in overtime, I said, given it. was in Las Vegas, jackpot, Kansas City.

And I again, I didn't have that one. pre-planned. And then you know what. happened after that? I went up on the. victory platform and someone is someone. started singing Viva Las Vegas. I let that run out a little too long. I. apologize about that. It was perfect. We've had some great. moments on those those platforms. >> And then thank you thank you enough for. uh giving me those platforms, man. I'm. those are the ones I remember the most. >> One time, whatever there was a show. premiering on CBS after an AFC.

Championship game. So, you know, you don't realize you. realize it now, but you got someone not. running commentary, but a producer. telling you where you need to go next. So, I got up there with um. the Lamar Hunt Trophy and I've got uh I. got Clark Hunt and I've got Andy over. here and I got Patrick and you're on the. outside of Patrick and they're telling. me we got to get through this, make it. really fast. No follow-up questions, just one question to the coach and one. question to Pat and we're out of here.

And we've got to get off there. They got. to get to this programming while the. audience is sizeable. Yeah. Kind of. giving them a little nod. They know. that's for them. And and Patrick answers. a question and I'm looking at you as. he's answering it. Letting you know I'm. coming to you next. And they're saying. in my ear, "Do not do not go another. question.". So, I said, "Hey, before we go, Travis, come over here real quick.". Celebration. And this was the first time Oh, yeah.

you went on. the you've got a fight. >> for your right to party. >> But the F in fight dragged ON SO LONG. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT. IT'S BEEN 7 years. coming, baby. I LEARNED ONE THING SINCE I'VE BEEN. HERE. YOU GOT TO FIGHT. FOR YOUR RIGHT. TO FIGHT. AND I THOUGHT, "NOT ONLY HAVE I been.

guilty of insubordination, I've just. walked into an F bomb on the CBS. Television Network, maybe." And I was so. relieved that the word came out with an. F I instead of an F whatever. And it was you got to fight for your. right to party. And I said, "You got to. run out of here. James Brown, back to. you." And you made the whole thing sing. That's awesome. >> I remember the other one. was uh the Cincinnati mayor. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I brought you in and you said,

"Hey, you big jabroni.". "SHUT YOUR MOUTH, YOU BIG JABRONI." AND. TO the Cincinnati mayor. Know your role. and shut your mouth, baby. Shout out to. The Rock, yeah. I have to admit, Jason, I wasn't sure what a jabroni was at the. time. I thought, "This isn't good.". >> You had to be late '90s, early 2000s. wrestling fan to know that one. It was perfect. >> I've been known through my my friends'. parents as the worst influence on my. friends because of insubordination. So,

thank you for trusting me on the stage. with a mic. >> You dragged me into that, too. The idea. of the three of us. Friends and. insubordination. That's good. I'm happy. to have that title. >> Do you ever find yourself cuz we've all. when we were growing up or playing. certain sports, you almost comment the. game. to yourself, right? Like I remember. playing basketball in the backyard and. I'm like, all right. There's 10 seconds left. 5 4 AND HE'S. HIT IT. HE'S HIT THE GAME. WHEN YOU'RE. PLAYING GOLF, ARE YOU ever calling the. game to yourself? Is that where you're.

Are you that into it? This is hilarious. >> Not now, but I will call I will call. shots of the people I'm playing with. >> Oh, yeah. We've seen a few of those. For. whatever reason, I get such a charge out. of it. The other day, I was playing uh I. was down here at Troubadour in Tennessee. and I was there with Luke Bryan and. Golden Tate and they said, "Hey, would. you mind Yeah, so I did it and it it. ended up on on Instagram.

I I just which I'm fine with. I think. every kid had those voices in their. head, Chase. I think I think we all put. ourselves in that arena where the world. was watching us and we trying to figure. out what that would feel like. Yeah. >> And I think like take the Masters field. this week. Every single one of those. players, Scotty Scheffler, Rory, all of. them, Bryson, I guarantee you that as. young kids, they stood over four footers. on a practice putting green over and. over again obsessing with what that.

moment would be like and they had. someone doing the commentary in their. head saying, "This is to win the Masters. tournament." Um I know I did. Oh, yeah. But no more. Now, I sometimes will do it. because my game has fallen off a cliff. and to try to like bring a little. laughter and lower expectations, I will put when just playing with some. buddies or people for the first time, I'll walk up to the to the to the shot.

and I'll say, "Now Nance, looking down that right side of the. fairway, Trevor, it looks like he's. going to hit a driver." And I'm just. trying to take the pressure off a shot. that's destined to rope hook out of. bounds or bomb it right out of bounds. and Now, I think those voices are real. for anybody who's competed at a high. level. You called your first Masters at. 26 years old. I cannot fathom that. I. was just trying to be professional and. you were like the peak of like a.

professional at 26 years old. How did. that feel? Well, truth is, I was scared. out of my mind. And now, all these years later, I'm 66. and this will be number 41, which will. be the new record. I came into the week. with 40. I tied with the great Vern Lundquist. We. both have done 40. This will be my 41st. Uh not that anybody cares about those. records, but uh. when they entrusted me, I truly thought. CBS had lost its mind. What are you.

Don't you guys realize I was living in a. dormitory just a few years ago on the. University of Houston campus? What am I. doing here? This is nuts. But I of. course I acted like I This is no big. deal. No big deal. You know, you you may. not know this, but Fred Couples and I uh. shared a dorm room at Houston and so, you know, he. he was great help to me on the mental. side of this cuz he was already on the. tour. He just kept telling me when I. first started at CBS, just keep What I. do is I just keep saying like a broken.

record, "It's no big deal. It's no big. deal. It's no big deal." And I got that. from Fred. I got that actually when I. went to New York to audition for the job. and Fred happened to be staying at my. house at the time. How cool is this? You know, Freddy's. getting back into the field, of course, as a past champion. And I I trust you. guys were just barely old enough to. appreciate the greatness of Fred and how. cool he was on a golf course. >> on. Smooth a swing in the world, yeah. I. can watch him warm up all day. Oh.

Coolest guy of all time. And when we. arrived on the Houston campus as uh two. of the seven freshmen for Dave Williams. and his legendary golf program which won. 13 national championships. I had nothing. to do with that, by the way, but I was a. lettered um. but he had the freshmen come in and. introduce one another. Um. just breaking the ice. And he said, "Guys, I want you to stand up. Boys, stand up and just give me basically. name, rank, and serial number, and what.

your goal is in your life." And I was, you know, not overconfident, but I just. said, "I'm Jim Nantz. My goal in life is. to one day work for CBS. I want to. broadcast the Masters Tournament." What? That was always my goal. And I love, by. the way, parenthetically, too. Driven by. that, obsessed with that idea cuz I love. the way they broadcast the NFL. Summerall, Madden, Summerall, Brookshire. That was my network. This is. so cool. >> love the way they presented the Masters. and the NFL. So, anyway, that was my. declaration. The fourth guy down.

stood. bashfully and said, "I'm Fred Couples, and I'm from Seattle, Washington, and. one day I want to win the Masters." Oh. >> know we ended up being roommates. Dorm suite. The coach was a genius. I We. had Blaine McAllister in our. in our dorm. Roomed with with with. Blaine, one of my all-time closest. friends. He won five tour events. And. John Horn, who played on the tour a. couple years. So, the four of us were. roommates all through school. And um you. know, we got to sit there and talk about.

a dream that had the same landing spot. Butler Cabin. Fred wanted to win it. I. wanted to be in that cabin to present. it. And as weird as this sounds, I don't. know if this is the kind of hijinks you. guys were up to. at. 31 high school, but we used to practice. the green jacket ceremony when we were. kids in college. Of course. That's so. cool, man. Hell yeah. And lo and. behold, in 1992, Freddy won the Masters.

and I was there to do the interview and. present the green jacket. So I'm getting. chills, man. I had no idea, dude. >> Strong testament to how dreams can come. true. You got to dream big for them to. come true. Speak it into existence. We'll be rooting for him over there. I'll give him some extra mojo off the. tee, baby. I'll be right there rooting. him on, man, on. on Friday. Hell yeah. Of all the big. events you call over you talk about the. Masters, what are the other What are the. What are the biggest events you've been. a part of at CBS that you just like. think back in your career? You know,

I've been part of the CBS golf teams, like like I said, for over 40 years now, and I called 32 national championship. games in college basketball. >> Oh, yeah. So, um. watching the action from Indianapolis. this week, I mean, I just love it. I. don't miss it. And I don't say that as. any sour grapes. I needed I needed time. with my kids. Um and I gave it up in 2023, my own. choosing, because basically the hamster. wheel, and I called it the golden. hamster wheel, never ended. I was on 48. weeks a year. You know, golf uh the the.

the championship game would be played on. Monday night and I was on a flight that. night into Augusta and switching gears. after calling 15 games in the month of. March. I just love being a part of the. tournament and being able to see. everything from the Fab Five through. Coach K's all the Coach K's five. championships, uh Yukon's program coming from nowhere. to now being a dominant power and um on. and on. Roy Williams, North Carolina, his time at Kansas, worked with Billy.

Packer for 18 years and then of course. uh uh Clark Kellogg. Bill Raftery, Grant Hill. It was a joy, man. It was a absolute joyride. Then the. NFL and I work now with Romo. We're. going in our 10th year this year. Love. Tony. We have so much fun together. He's one. of a kind. You know, and that's what. makes him special is that you don't want. everybody to be the same just flat X's. and O's guy. He's a big kid who. expresses himself as such on the air and.

I find that very appealing, a very. authentic. >> It makes it fun, man. Worked with Phil. Simms for a long time before that. I've. uh. I hosted two Super Bowls and I've called. seven. Um so those are the main parts. We've. had Olympic Games, we've had all these. different sports. I called the US Open. tennis for years. Um. but my primaries were always golf, the. NFL. and college basketball. When I started. the basketball, I got asked at a news.

conference in New York. I had was. assuming the role from Brent Musburger. I was asked um. "Do you think you'll ever be able to. approach the record for longevity for. play-by-play?" And I said, "What's the. number?" And they said, "Six." And now. these are some names from your past even. before you, but Curt Gowdy, Dick Enberg. and Brent had all called six apiece. And. I thought, "If I ever get to six, that. would be amazing." I GOT TO 32. I PUT THAT RECORD AWAY, OKAY? So no. Uh.

uh now it was uh a gift. I'm glad that. CBS wanted me to do it for that many. years. I'm glad I could say when I. needed to step down from it and get a. few more weeks at home. Uh but all of. it's been that that childhood dream. You. know what that's about. It's burns. It's. still burns deep in the heart. >> goes away and well we appreciate you for. for jumping on that golden hamster wheel. and taking us for a ride with you, man. More than anything, if I had the right. the end of the script, I love the NFL.

and you know, I love being able to have. the chance to do it for a few more. years. But, someday, as you know, you. approach 70, you're going to have to back off a. little bit more. and um. I would like to do 51 Masters. tournaments. Holy cow. That sounds like. a crazy number. It used to be 50. I'm wanted to be able to say I did 50. Masters cuz again, that's that little. boy still speaking inside of my head. And uh I mentioned that at a um. at an awards event out in California and.

this broadcaster of yesteryear, one of. the greats of all time, Jack Whitaker, had introduced me. And he said, "I heard. you say you want to do 50 Masters." I. said, "Yeah." He said, "You need to do. 51." I said, "Why is that?" He says, "If. you do the math, your 51st Masters, 2036, would be the 100th playing of the. Masters.". He said, "You need to be there for. that." And he. >> Yeah. So, he said so the very nice. He. said, "And I think Augusta need you to. be there for that to usher out the first.

century and bring in the next." So, that's kind of been everything that um. you know, I've thought about for a long. time. So, I didn't come on your show to. announce my retirement on April 14th, 2036. But, we're kind of working that way. I love. it. I love it. You get the opportunity. to, man. We'll be at the 51st. uh airing of the Masters for you, brother. We'd be honored. >> You got to fight for your right to. party. Do you have any personal Mount Rushmore.

of Masters moments? You got any like top. tier, the ones that stand out to you the. most? >> Yeah, I do. And I'm going to put the. Freddy win in '92 in a special box over. here. That was really personal. Okay, cuz that that's again, that's like. Hollywood make-believe fantasy stuff. that two kids could. practice that scene of the green jacket. and actually have to do it for real. That was choking my guts out and so was. he. We barely could get the words out. That was a watershed moment for me. I.

really truly feared. if I could emotionally hold up for that, but we both did and I was able to get us. off the air clean and yeah, that one's. in its own category, but I've got three. One would be Jack Nicklaus 1986, my. first. Now, you guys weren't around to. see it. Oh, I I know it. Oh, I know it. It was the him, the shark and uh Seve. Seve. >> Seve, Tom Kite Yeah. Tom Watson, Bernhard Langer. I mean, it was a load.

of Corey Pavin. They were all jockeying. Greg Norman, like I said, they were all. in the mix and that's when you mentioned. it earlier. I was just a young kid. Chill bumps up and down my arms. My. teeth were chattering. Jack made a putt. to birdie on my hole, the 16th. And I. uttered the words, "The bear has come. out of hibernation." Now, I did not know. where that line came from. I truly. thought, "I'm incapable of coming up. with that narrative, that clip, um epic.

that caption." And I began to have doubt. in my head as the broadcast continued. cuz we still had Seve to come through, Norman. Jack had gone out way ahead of. them and I began to think I just. plagiarized a remark someone else had. said earlier in the show. We had. announcers from 10 in. So, I thought, "Well, maybe somebody. down there at Amen Corner said." No one. had, as it turns out. >> Ohio ball player, man. Shout out to. Jack. To debut with Jack was was crazy. And then I will go Tiger, '97. Not that.

it was competitive. Now, I know you boys. remember that one. I called that one. I. was at the 18th by by then. And I called it a win for the ages. That was one of my lines. Jason, you asked me about this earlier. Um that line I had. pre-planned. Okay. He had a six-shot. lead going into Sunday and he was. running away from the field and I knew. that clip. was going to have the narrative.

forever. >> played with it. Forever. >> Yeah. Forever. >> You know, this is a piece this is. there's a permanence to it. It's uh it's. going to be a couple hundred years from. now when they come on the air with the. Masters and they do the montage, that. clip of Tiger winning in '97 will be on. there. 100%. >> Dragged into the history with it is the. little narrative. There it is, a win for the ages. Yes. >> So, I thought about that a lot the night. before. I knew it had to be short. I. knew it had to like match up with the.

moment in a historical sense and I'm. really happy that was the line that that. we landed on. But, uh after that on that. short list, uh. Travis would be Tiger again in 2019. Full circle. When he was. given up for not being competitive again. and it came full circle and now he's. hugging his kids behind the 18th green. basically on the same spot where his dad. had embraced him 22 years earlier. So.

beautiful, man. Now, that's what we are. We're storytellers. We're not We're not. spewing stats. We're trying to tell. people what's inside. of their hearts and what this moment. contextually means and um I happen to be. at both of those. I call that one the. return to glory because uh his kids had. never seen him be the champion golfer. that he that he was like we knew him. And I saw them behind the 18th green. I. I was told earlier in the day they were. not on property, but they were. And I.

just thought, what a gift to have them. see their father, you know, have this. encore performance. And I just kept. thinking of the word glory as this was. all playing out. And when he knocked in. the last putt, I just said, "Not with a. lot of exclamation, almost soulful, cuz. he had been through the long road back.". And I just said, "The return to glory.". It felt like it matched that moment. Um. Yeah, it did. But I was That's on my. short list. And the And the last one I. would say would be uh Rory last year.

The career grand slam. Yeah. >> The uh the ups and downs, the wild. odyssey ride he put us on Sunday when he. won it, lost it. Double bogey the first. hole, nearly shanked it at 13. Like, what's going on here? Yeah. >> And then to rally and win it in a. playoff over Rosie. Uh It was. >> storybook stuff. Those are four iconic. Absolutely iconic. I I think the '86 one. came across my like Instagram feed the. other day, and there was a moment where. uh the shark Norman is just like taking.

the deepest breath on 18 before his his. approach shot, and you could tell, man, that that There's nothing like that. tournament. >> You're incredible what you do, Jim, and. that's why you get to ask to do all. these things, and that's why people. remember you and have such affection for. you, cuz you're remarkable. You're the. the best play-by-play person in this. generation. >> I was thinking about this at uh Easter. service this week. You You know, you do. at times, no matter who you are, but. particularly when you're a performer, and you guys are performers, you have.

all kinds of things that that can work. against you. You know that. You have You have. doubters. Mhm. Like, we all have enough. doubt to deal with on our own. But you. have people that are second-guessers, who are critics, who don't understand how hard it is to. perform. on a moment's notice. You're trying your. best, and sometimes we fail. Sometimes. the words come out upside down, or you. don't capture something quite crystal.

clear as you should. But everybody's got. an opinion. And you know, you learn how. to. deal with that noise. Yeah. Yeah. I know. we all make it because it's personal. So, we feel like there are a lot of. people at times against us and it's not. reality. It's just sometimes these. louder voices that are maybe on social. media or just plainly in the media. You. know, we deal with media, too. We got. all kinds of television critics out. there, whether they're social uh or.

whether they're in electronic or print, whatever. But, yeah, you learn to deal. with it. And. like you know, as a little kid, I never. thought about I'm going to have to like. have people that are telling me I'm not. any good. or somebody's better. And I never thought about that. I was. thinking about playing. I didn't realize. there'd be that noise. And there is a. learning curve for that. And you know, I'm listen, I've. had to deal with it for 40 years and I. think I've handled it well and just I've. tried my best to be the person that I am.

and not let that sully what otherwise. has been a dream life. And you guys, I. hope realize that same thing. Whatever. noise you hear, it's insignificant. Oh, yeah. It's all. It all goes away. And when when. when when life goes on and you guys get. to be my age and older. and you're still going to be doing. whatever you're you're doing, I'm sure. at a very high level, that bust is going.

to be sitting there in Canton. long past you both as you know, being on. the planet. If that bust is going to be. there, the criticism or the noise, that's all that's all immaterial. It's. history. You're going to you you built a. life in other realms, too. Your. families. Look what you've done to make. your family proud. That's amazing. >> rise out of seeing. how much your parents enjoy what you. both are doing and how you both have.

supported one another. That's where I'm coming from. >> Appreciate it. >> The family to me, um. you know, it's everything. I was playing a video the other day if. my kids were young. and um and I'm way off on a tangent. here. I love it though. I love it. We're. so alike that yeah, please keep going. >> Yeah. I was telling my kids about. something and it was from 4 years ago. and I was 3 years ago. And I said, "Family is love and love is. family.".

And if you're surrounded and you. understand the world is like that and I. think you guys do. I mean, I see it from. the outside. I see that love. in your own circles. >> Oh, yeah. Yes. Jason, the amazing life. that you and your family have built, Travis, what you're building and. starting. right there with your mom and dad and. what you've done to make Cleveland but. then specifically Cleveland Heights. proud, that love, man, that nurturing.

got you to where you are. I had the same. thing. It's the best. >> Hello friends. I want my dad to hear me. You've been gone 18 years. I got chills. right now thinking about it. I just want. to make him proud. And that's when I say. my feet hit the floor in the morning. and I have gone through my ritual, one of those things. with gratitude. is just saying I want to make people. proud. It's the best. And I'm going into. Augusta this week. I'm going to give it.

my all. Oh, you're going to make. everyone proud. And I just hope I can. make people proud. The people that I that are my family. who I love and love is family. Well, I'll make sure I come up to you and. pinch you so you know you're not. dreaming, big guy. I know it's when he. comes up and pinches me from behind. I. won't even have to turn around and look. I'll know it's you. When I'm playing in a big game and or. win or win or lose, you know, Jason's. been at a lot of the big games. My. family's been at, you know, every big. game in my life and those moments where.

you come out of that game and you see. the ones that are there to support you. You see the ones that are that have been. on this journey with you your entire. life and you see, you know, where it's. gotten to. It's the most beautiful thing. that uh that I could have ever asked for. in my life is the the fact that I have. that much support from family and. friends and um I remember the funniest. one was coming up from that Buffalo game. uh where Jason jumped out of the suite. jumped back in the suite. I come up to. the suite at the end of the game to. celebrate with my friends and family and.

Jason has his shirt off still. Tony and I covered that game. Of course. You know it very well. Yeah. You caught. a couple of titties. You were right. there at that end zone. You caught one, you looked up at him. But no one. knowing you got that much support and. you make your family and your loved ones. that much that happy when they're when. you're playing and they get that much. excitement out of seeing you doing what. you love the most. It's the it's the. best, man. And I hear you on that, man. The gratitude and and getting to be able.

to do what we love and all that makes uh. makes it all worth it, man. You know, the odds of for what you guys have. accomplished just if that's again that. gets back to that whole pinch me thing, but the odds of even being able to make. it to the NFL. I mean. everybody thinks that plays it at. Division I level thinks it's going to. happen. You couldn't tell me, Jason, that it would be. even with the one star connected to our. names on all the high school recruiting.

I didn't even have a star. Zero stars. I had the the the picture of me was that. black silhouette. It is a pinch me moment whenever we look. back at that and. you know, our families have been so. uniquely blessed to share in all these. experiences together. Um and then to. make other families along the way and. all the friends and not like anything. else. Like you always accomplish things. with through the help and guidance with. other people. And um. the teams we've been on, the coaches. we've been uh we've had along the way.

You mentioned something earlier, Jim, about people infusing belief. And I've. said this before, I think belief is the. greatest thing you can give another. human being. For exactly what you're. saying. There's so much, you know, in. your own head that you can build up with. doubt and and nerves and things. When. somebody gives you that gift, it just. it gives you the power to overcome. all of the little things that really. don't mean anything. And um. uh I just love that so much. Um I do. want to ask you do you have a welcome to.

broadcasting moment? You talked about. the nerves of that first Masters at 26. years old. Uh is there something that. happened maybe young in your career that. was like all right, I'm finally doing. this thing. Well, before I got to CBS, uh I was uh. you know, I was on the Houston golf. team, but I was. uh I I I was I was not as passionate. about trying to be a professional. golfer, nor did I have the skill level, nowhere close, as I was, you know, the. boyhood dream was the broadcasting.

thing. But I I um started working in the. business. when I was 20. for the CBS affiliate in Houston, the. fourth largest market in the country. I. was the weekend. fill-in sports anchor, but it amounted. to a lot of like anchoring the sports. broadcast. uh on the like 10:00 or 11:00 news, whichever time zone you're in, you know. what I'm talking about. Um. and I was still living in the dorms. And so, uh I was still living with all. my my my golf guys I mentioned before.

And and that was. I knew that I was, as far as like where. I am with my age group, being on a CBS. station at 20, while I was still in. college, was rare. I was very fortunate. But then, congratulation, I got an opportunity to. be. uh hired by the CBS affiliate in Salt. Lake City at KSL. And with that, I got. to do the Utah Jazz games. So, I was 23. and I was in the NBA calling NBA and I. was the play-by-play announcer for.

BYU. The Cougs. Yeah. They won the. national championship in 1984. and I was doing their games WITH STEVE. YOUNG. OH MY GOSH. WHO HAD graduated a couple years before. and was playing in the USFL for the LA. Express. >> Oh my gosh. So, we're doing a game in. Provo. and uh. the booth where we broadcast from at. Cougar Stadium was so small they'd had. us record our on-camera opening on the.

field. So, we knocked that out. We jumped in. the press elevator for the start of the. show a few minutes later and the. elevator blew a fuse. And for a quarter and a half. we the the the elevator didn't move. Oh. my Are you kidding me? Meanwhile, the game goes on. The show. goes on. They ran a scroll at the bottom of the. screen that says we are experiencing. audio difficulties. Yeah, you have no. announcers. That's an audio difficulty.

That's quite the difficulty. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, uh. yeah, just randomly blew a fuse and then. it started back up and we rejoined the. broadcast with about 6 minutes to go in. the half. That was a terrifying moment. I can remember if you talk to Steve ever. to this day, you know, we were starting. to get claustrophobic to say the least. and it was a tiny panel that you could. knock it out. I could lift them up if we. wanted to and he could try to get out of. the elevator shaft. We decided that was. not a good idea. That could have. prevented what later became a Hall of.

Fame career in San Francisco. But. anyway, uh we we we had that moment and. then lo and behold after 2 years, 2 and. 1/2 years in Utah, I got a call from a. producer at CBS named Ed Goren, who. later became the president of Fox. Sports, great friend of mine to this. day. He said, "We've been taping your. shows for the last month and you're one. of five finalists. um for an opening at CBS Sports." I. thought it was a prank call. I thought. it was one of my college buddies. They. knew. They knew this was my goal. This can't.

be true. Come on. I said, "Come on, give. it up." But uh the next day I was on a. plane to New York and I was auditioning. in the CBS Broadcast Center against the. likes of uh. Roy Firestone, who was a. famous broadcaster, uh had this Up Close. Show on ESPN, uh the great James Brown, and uh I ended up uh winning the. audition and within a couple of weeks I. was on the air being introduced by Brent. Musburger. HOLY COW. AH, GONE. WELL, THANK GOD THAT uh that elevator got.

working, baby. Do you check the stairs. now? Do you make sure that doesn't. happen? Is it That is a fair question. You are one of one, brother. I can't. tell you what an honor it has been to. listen to you share these stories, what. an honor it's going to be to watch you. do your 41st Masters. You've officially. surpassed the amount of balls Rory had. to hit. He's You're You're You're You're. way past him. Congratulations. We're all. looking forward to it. Thank you for. having me on. I really truly I.

I I was uh. so appreciative to get the uh invite to. come on uh the week of the Masters and. it would mean a lot to me if even it was. just a minute if I had a chance to uh. express how much I appreciate both of. you in person and this particular. podcast being a guest uh this week down. in Augusta. Uh Jason, good luck with. that, by the way. I know you're going to. be great. Have a Have a wonderful time. I'm here. Anything I can do to help. >> Do you have any advice? Like, what's the.

advice here? I mean, this is my first. time I've been to Define your role for. me. It's going to be interviewer? Interviewer of of of players and friends. and family. I'm kind of going to be. boots on the ground just talking in. between holes and stuff. >> Cuz two things you're going to focus on. here. Okay. Virtually everybody in that. field is going to have a caddy that's. special to them. And more likely it's. going to be a family member, a child, a. daughter, or even a wife. Yes. >> So one is what was that experience like? Yep. >> And two is how do you feel about your.

game going into the tournament? That's all you need to ask. Perfect. >> Now maybe somebody knocks a hole in a. hole in one and you might ask him about. that. But I think people want to know. what the week looks like for them and. what that experience was like out on the. par three tournament. It's unique. We. don't see anything like that the rest of. the year. You don't need to dig much. deeper than that. This is a feel good. event. Yes. >> And you're going to be. you're going to be the right guy to do.

We. uh traveled golfing this past week. We're getting geared up for the Masters. I'm sure you are as well. Where you at. right now? You got you're in your RV?

>> Me and Anna, my girl, we just uh we left. Sunday night from uh. Upland, California, and we're just about. just outside of Tallahassee. We're. almost home to Clearwater. Oh, nice, man. Nothing Nothing wrong with a little. like road trip, MAN. GOD, I HAVEN'T been. on one of those in a while, man. love it, man. I was just up in Bandon. Dunes, actually, up in uh northern uh. well, Oregon. Not necessarily northern. Cal, but up in Oregon, man. And that's a. little bit of a different place, man. The views out there are insane, but I'm. not going to lie, I'm a bougie golfer.

now, man. I don't like to walk that. much. I don't love walking that much, and that's a that's a hell of a terrain, too. So, I was I was kind of That was a. workout, man. >> That's why I got ADA. My body's too. screwed up to freaking walk anymore. So, I'm going to enjoy the game rather than. golf carts. That's what I'm saying. They got to get. some golf carts out there, man. Ooh, yeah. The Masters is coming This is amazing. >> it. The Masters is coming up. >> to come see me at Augusta. I'll be at. the the restaurant and bar called Top. Dawg.

I'll cook you a fillet with some John. Daly Mama Lu's spice. So, here we go. That sound like a good time right there. Sign me up, man. Varying on that. We'll. we'll definitely stop by. We're all. going to Augusta. What what makes this. tournament so special in your eyes, John? Well, it's the only major that. never leaves home. It's it stays in the. same spot every year. The other three.

move around and uh. and it's Augusta. It's it's the. I mean, I don't know if you guys have. played it with y'all's. status, you should have been able to. No, it's just a very special week, you. know, I played in it for a a lot of. years and had a few good tournaments. there, but uh you know, even when I was. playing, I was selling my merchandise. Um. it just gives me a chance to see the. fans, have a few cocktails, sell some and good time. What do. you. hold on.

Um you just mentioned you interacting. with the fans. I don't know that there's. any golfer. that I've seen that has been more. connected with his fans than you. What. do you think it is about you that made. that the case? Well, I think for me, I. always played for them. And uh. you know, there's no skeletons in my. closet. I've never lied to them. If I. screw up, I tell them I screw up and. apologize and move on and um they've.

been great to me. You know, it seems. like everywhere I've been, it's like a. home field advantage. You know, which you guys, you know, playing for the Eagles and that boy. there in the new three-year contract for. the Chiefs. Great great fans. Look at your Eagles, man. Your Eagles, man. When you guys are. down a little bit, they they I don't. I've never seen fans They'll let you. know. Yeah. They let you know. But, that's I guess. that's called loyalty. I don't know, but. Well, it's it's passion. It's passion, JOHN. YOU KNOW IT'S CENTER. YOU THINK YOU TAKE THAT GRIP and rip it.

philosophy into life, too? Not just on. the golf course, or Oh, yeah, got to. Yeah, you know, I believe caffeine, nicotine, AND GOOD PROTEIN. LET'S GO. THE SIMPLE FORMULA. JOHN, I as one of the legendary drivers. of the ball, I'm trying to get better at. golf right now. I'm trying to break 80. Got a long-term goal that I want to make. happen this year. I've realized I need. to improve my long game and my short. game the most. I'm pretty good with my. irons. What is the key to driving the. ball? Like what like what what were you.

what would be your main takeaways if you. want to hit it longer and preferably. straighter? WHAT YOU SAY ARE LIKE your hard fast. rules? Yeah. Well, I mean, for me it's. low and slow and finish the backswing, but. in golf, I mean, people always ask me how they hit it. further. Well, if you hit your best. drive, the best you can hit it, that's. pretty much as far as you're going to. hit it. Now, the good thing is is like. you guys practice football every day, every day, consistency. You know, you get your patterns down, you get your plays down, it's.

consistency. And the more you're. consistent with that, the better you're. going to be. But if you want to break. 80, get your ass out and hit 100-yard. shots in and work on your putting and. chipping because that's what. >> Short. Yeah. that's what will get it. done for you. >> strokes, yeah. He's got a He's. got a goddamn KFC. potato wedge as a putter, man. It's It's. like he just went to the local putt-putt. and just grabbed that thing out of the. bag. He's got to get up to modern day, man. I don't know what he's doing with. his putter. You know those old Bull's. Eye putters? That's what I got. I got a.

Bull's Eye. >> Well, those are really good for fast. greens, but I don't know what greens you. putt on, but you need to probably get a. heavier putter. like a big like a like a Bettinardi or. something like that, a real heavy. putter. That'll help you short stroke. and make a lot more putts. Okay, that's. a good tip. I'm going to take that one. I'm already on it, Craig. >> This guy's trash. >> Yeah, baby. I'm going to take you back to '91, man, when you won the PGA Championship. I. just wanted to ask, man, you were the. ninth alternate going into to win the.

whole thing. Is that correct? >> Yeah. Man, that's crazy. Did you know. going into that tournament that you were. going to have like a really good chance. of winning or was it were you just kind. of like happy to be there? What was the. mindset going into that one? >> Well, I was just happy to get in and, you know, back then I made 162 grand. I. kept my card for '92. You make 162 grand. on PJ tour, you're working in a grocery. store somewhere selling groceries, but. uh. I I I had a pretty decent year. Um the. golf course just fit my eye. I could fly. all the trouble and reason I got in Nick.

Price uh Sue had the baby and um I got. in last and um but anyway, he asked me. if Squeaky could caddy for me. I said, "Hell yeah, I'd love for Squeaky to. caddy for me." And uh That's awesome. >> Squeaky did a hell of a job. It was. a blur cuz I didn't get a practice. round. I just went in first round, second, third, fourth, fifth. >> crazy, man. >> That was wild. Oh my gosh. And grip it. AND RIP IT, BABY. What else do you need. to do? Jason, you're worried about. trying to hit your drive. straight. JUST HIT IT.

AT WHAT POINT DID YOU KNOW you were. going to be a legit professional golfer? Like is how how when did you start. playing and at what point was it like, "Oh man, I'm pretty damn good at this?". Um started when I was four. Um probably. around 16 years old. Uh I I just said. this is what I want to do. I'm flat I'M. FLAT-FOOTED. SO FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL'S OUT. I was a. pretty good pitcher. I guess I could. have pitched, but you know, I'd have to. play on a major league team where the. pitcher doesn't hit, which. that would be the American League. Is. that right? American League, they don't.

hit. I think it's both now, but yeah, I. hear you. Back then I think it was just. the National League pitchers that hit, but uh Right. Uh but no, I was just too. slow, flat-footed and I I I like I had. pretty good balance in my golf game cuz. I'm so flat-footed. Uh but I just got interested in it. When. I 16, I said this is what I want to do. I will say that, man. You're the swing. is obviously one of the smoothest of all. time, man. And the the how much how much. you get on your backswing is so. impressive, man. It's like you're. getting to the other side of your head. almost. And for big guys like us, like.

the shoulders just don't allow us to get. to that point, man. So, it's like you're. like an anomaly in this world of like. guys with big shoulders that can't get. their swing all the way back there. It's. just I don't I don't even know where I'm. going with it. I just love the. goddamn swing, man. >> You guys are always pumping and you're. getting so strong here. You're more Well, you need to stay. flexible cuz you catch it. Jake, you got to block those boys, man. You got to be strong cuz Yep. It's tough. because you get so tight, you can't get. the club back.

But like, you know, quarterbacks, pitchers, hockey players, they're so. flexible. They can they can take the club back, but yeah, you just got to you just got. to find your your consistent drive and. see how far it goes and just work on. that cuz that's all you can do. I mean, I used to be able to hit it a. long way and now, you know, my drives in. the '90s sound like atomic bombs. I. don't even want to tell you what they. sound like now. No, get out of here. I know you're still. crushing it. >> Still cracking it, dude. You What was. your What was your furthest drive back. in the Like what's your furthest drive. back in the day on tour? I'm not sure.

how far, but I I hit I think the longest. I ever saw was somebody hit it 420. I. think I had one like 399, 400, but. uh I guess I'm saying that was back when. that technology What do you think. realistically, if you were still in your. prime with the balls today and the. drivers today, what do you think you'd. be hitting? >> It'd be scary. I mean, we could we've me. and Jack Nicklaus have talked about. that. Just think cuz he was really long. >> Mhm. Just think the technology went up. to when I was playing. Um I don't know. It It's hard to say. I. know that I hit over 200 ball.

speed way before when Bryson was. STARTING TO DO. GODDAMN. HE was He was cracking it. He. kept getting 198, 199. He couldn't get. there. I said, "Hey dude, I did it 10. times in a row. YOU'LL GET THERE.". WHAT A BALL OUT OF BALL ON A FREAKING 32. eights, 32 being Ervin King driver. >> Yeah. Yeah, what you need to do is you need to. un-arch your feet. You got to get more. balance. You need more flat foot into.

the ground. You're way too. You're way too Your arches are too Yeah, exactly. The arches, you're just not. made for it. Dude, how cool is it seeing. your son, John Daly the second, man? How. cool is it seeing him making his PGA. Tour debut and seeing him kind of follow. your footsteps and everything? I believe. he went to Arkansas. I feel like I. always see him with some Arkansas gear. on. Yeah. >> Yeah, he's This is his last semester, fifth-year senior. Uh the team is really. good. I think they're fourth or fifth in. the country. So, yeah, he he hits it. about 50 past me now, but he still can't.

out-chip me. He can't out-chip you? Yeah, he hits it. when I one-arm him and I one-arm chip. him. He's got two hands out. He gets so. mad at me. Did your son ever uh push back on golf. advice? If he's anything like Trap Trap. My dad would try and coach him up in. baseball and stuff like that. He never. wanted to hear any of it. What's What's. John the second like with golf advice? He'll listen to everybody but me. THERE. YOU GO. SAME WAY IT GOES. >> It's the same It's a father-son thing. now, but you know, if I see see him.

doing something wrong, I watched him a. few tournaments. I'll I'll tell coach. There you go. Yeah. Then little John. will go, "Dad, coach really helped me. He told me I had to get the ball up. there." I go, "Okay, son. That's perfect.". >> That's awesome, man. I'm glad he's. helping out a lot. Then see if Tiger and. Charlie are playing, Charlie will listen. to me. Little John will. When's the first time he actually beat. you in a round? >> Uh ooh, let's see. Probably about four. or five years ago. Oh, wow. Yeah. When. he's He's into college. Probably when.

he's like 16. That's amazing. There you. go, man. That's how you know that's what. you what you should be doing in life. right there when you're beating a pro. I. saw that little baby girl yours, Jace, behind you. What Hey, she's going to be. beating you in golf pretty soon, too. Just trust me. So, I. I want to get her out there. Hey, she don't got it ain't going to be very. hard. She might be able to beat me right. now, John. I don't even know. She's got. flexible shoulders. You famously said. once. uh talking about your pre-round routine. that you hit balls for maybe 20 minutes, putt a little bit, uh smoke four or five.

cigarettes, and then you drink three. diet Cokes, and then you go in for the. first tee. Uh some days I won't even go. to the range. Is that still the case? I. just smoke cigarettes and drink diet. Cokes. I don't even look at a putting green or. a practice facility. Get away from the. putting green. You feel like at this. point in your career you can kind of. just see the tint of the or like the. color of the green and like the layout. of it and get a good feel for it just. off of like putting your eyes on it? >> Yeah, and we play, you know, I play two. to three pro-ams a week, too. So, it's. not like I'm not going to know the golf.

course. >> Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Got you. So, it's uh you know, it's it's there. I I. play enough during the week that you. know, I need to go hit balls or beat. balls all the time anymore. My body. can't hold up to it anyway. 12. surgeries, bladder cancer the last, you. know, eight years. So, uh. >> Yeah. Yeah, if I went out and hit 20 putts, I. got to sit down and have a cigarette, a. diet Coke, or a John Daly good boy. Get. up 20 minutes, do it again. When we were. young, you could hit a thousand putts. without no problem at all. But,

I'm old. If I knew I was going to live. live to be this old, I'd have. taken worse care of myself. CHEERS TO THAT, BROTHER. DO YOU THINK. THERE'S A there's a bit of like uh. trying too hard and and putting in too. much work in that regard? Uh like like. trying to fix it too much or especially. like in between rounds? >> Well, I think it's what you guys did. After a game, you know, you got to have. that day that night off and then go go. back at it. Your body's tired. You get. frustrated, especially when you're. tired, but everybody's different, you.

know, I'm a guy that I've been, you. know, gifted very natural ability, very. flexible that I didn't have to beat a. lot of balls, but I worked my ass off on. my short game, 150 yards in. I'd beat. balls every day for that, but that's. where you score. But, no, everybody's a. little different. I mean, you know, and. these guys are working out, they're. getting hurt. They're hurting themselves. working out too hard. You know, they're. they're not they don't need to be like. you guys. You got to do it to these men. on men in football, but golf, you just want to keep your flexibility. You want to be able to do what you can.

do, and don't push it too hard. Guys are. getting back problems and pumping weight. too long and When I grew up, man, it was like, let's go play golf. >> you ever see a weight room growing up? no. I'm going to open up John Daly. GYM LAZY AND. GOLF STOOL ON THE TREADMILL, ASHTRAY, CUP HOLDER, drink holder, porn on TV, and topless waitresses. OH MY GOD, THAT'S some good right. there. I'll put them I'll put them on my. Fitness 24. I love it. I love it.

Hey, I'll I'll get a membership to that. right now. Come on now, sign me up, baby. Yearly membership, I'm in. I do think. you're on to something though, cuz this. is that way in football, sometimes guys. put in so much work and they get so. meticulous with everything, their diet, weight lifting, and they forget that. you're there's a It's not a formulaic. thing. You can try and make it that way, but at the end of the day, there is an. art to it, and there's and there's a. a freedom that you need to play with as. well. And if you try and be a robot out.

there, it's just like. it doesn't work in football, and I know. like. golf, you would think there's less. factors, and maybe you can be more. robotic, but I I bet there is a. similarity there, where you can't allow. that to. overtake your mental approach to the. game. >> Yeah, I mean, we're the only sport that. the boundaries change every day, you. know, we're not playing the same field, where, you know, even if it's the same. golf course tee boxes they change tee. boxes. They move them up back. Green the. pins are changed. You got OB's you got.

hazards that come into play but you. know, it's it's it's just a brutal game. man. It it's. and people don't realize it does take a. toll on your body like I don't work out. I pulled out but you know, it's taking a it's taking a toll on my. game. on my on my body and uh Right. people. think oh it's such an easy sport yeah. this is a kind of a sport. This is a man on man. It's. every part of your body's got to work. and. when you're repetitiously hitting that. many balls it's no different than you.

guys what you guys do. It's it's brutal. on the body. No doubt. I get more sore. playing golf than I ever did sometimes. at practice. I go out there you're. walking a court like bunch of hills. you're going up and down you hit a bunch. of and trust I'm I'm over 100 strokes. sometimes John. I'M I'M USING ALL OF. THEM I GOT RIGHT so it's. >> gets within 50 yards and starts playing. ping pong on the green man. That was the funniest line with some. Brett Favre I'm playing with him with a. pro am in Memphis in August. It's 125°. around the 15th hole he go you know what. Bailey I'd rather have a 350 lb lineman.

just run my ass over right now. This is. crazy. But seriously I'll take one hit as. opposed to 4 hours of it. Yeah man no. doubt. >> going to say golf's having a like a. surge of the century like everybody's. getting into the game nowadays and it. feels like you're you're seeing more and. more content. Everybody wants to have. some sort of golf show because of how. fun the game is and also just how like. you can the banter in between is it's. very it's a it's a game you can comment. on and a game that you can you can act.

within it's it's like everybody has. these new shows and everything. Do you. do you like how the game has been. growing or is this starting to get kind. of like. I don't know sidetrack from what the. game really is supposed to be. Oh I love. it. I mean you know, the only thing the. only downfall is is everybody hits it. 320 now to 350. That's not a downfall, but. you know, I I I I look at kids growing. up playing golf now. All they want to do. is go to driving range and beat a driver. 320 yards, but 100-yard chip shot, they're missing the green. They're.

duffing it. They're not. you know, doesn't matter how far you hit. it, but if you ain't got a short game, what's the use? It's like having a. quarterback that can't call an audible. and throw a screen. >> Ooh, I see you I see you, big dog. You. need that guy. You need that guy to be. able to get somebody If you got to sniff. out that defense, man, I'm telling you. You got to change the play. Now, I hear you. We actually we got a little. note in here about your your high school. kicker days. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, okay. He's talking to We got we got. Helias High School. Helias Crusader,

Jeff City, Missouri. What? Nice. Hell. yeah. So, you were So, were you like you. were right on the border there or Well, it's right about 35 miles south of. Columbia. >> Nice. I'm I'm Yeah, I'm familiar with. But, that's where you went to high. school. So, you you grew up in Arkansas. and then went to high school in. Jefferson City? Yeah, well, I went my. sophomore and junior year. I finished my. last semester my senior year in. Arkansas. But, yeah, I was there for a. couple years, but yeah, we went to. state. We. had our first perfect season at 10 and 0.

since '57. We won our first playoff game. in St. Charles. They were just too fast. >> Was it just kicker? I could throw it, but I couldn't run. But, I could punt. it. Thank god I didn't have to run, but. I did the punt, passing, kicks when I. was young and your coach. >> Oh, yeah. Big get. Big red, baby. >> up at 313. He looked as big as you, Jason. He looked like he was playing for the. Rams at LA Rams at that point, yeah. He's such an awesome coach. I love him, but. yeah, I went the punt, passing, kick. ways and uh.

when I was eight, Superdome opened up in. '74 and the first person I met was. Archie Manning. >> How about it? And I was talking about a. man that if he ever had a good offensive. line, they he could have done something, but um. it was great meeting him and and you. know, just getting into the I love. football. Football is my passion. Um. like I said, flat-footed. And I straight. on, I kick it barefooted, but. >> Right on the nose, man. >> That was what I was going to ask cuz I. know you golf barefoot. Were you a. barefoot kicker as well? Yeah? >> I could kick it a lot further. I just. kick it off my big toe.

That's so good, man. But I got something. that a lot of kickers didn't get. Look up the 1992 All-Madden kicker team. What? Okay. Were you on it? Look it up. I I was the. John Madden hated kickers. And we were out of. We were out doing a Monday night Frank. Gifford held the ball for me. on Monday Night Football in San. Francisco and I kicked a 45-yarder. 40-yarder.

and cut Madden was out there. He goes, "Okay. I I like you, son.". He put me on the 1992 All-Madden team. That's. kicker. That's so good, man. That's. probably the only fun thing I could say. >> Bro, that's one of the That's one of the. most like awarded things as a player cuz. John. obviously Madden was like the Mecca of. or like the best in the entire football. world. Like he's our like. savior in this world. So, to get that. get that nod, that's pretty. dope. But that's crazy, dude. The 1992.

All-Madden team. I do I think I'm lining. up a putt or something. I The card that. it has is a 1992 All-Madden team. I. think I'm lining up a putt. I can't. remember what the card looks like, but. it was pretty cool. I got to get that. Heck, yeah. Do you have a welcome to. golf moment? Like welcome to the PGA moment. >> Welcome to the PGA, I think would be. probably winning the PGA. You know, most. of the time I heard I could hit it kind. of long and I'd have. the you know, the group I'm playing with.

a sign carrying about five people watch. me hit it. Then they go watch somebody. else back in the day, but uh yeah, the. PGA of America was probably. I didn't realize what I did until I got. to Colorado the next week. It was like. 12,000 people sitting there waiting for. me. Hell yeah. Like like you guys have the. Super Bowl. Y'all have hundreds of. thousands, but it. kind of felt like that. Like couldn't. breathe, you know, it was really weird. That's crazy, man. >> I believe it. >> That's an awesome story, man. Well, John. Daly, man, we appreciate the time. We. appreciate the stories. Um can't wait to.

Let me. just play the question. It's going to.

I mean, currently I'm on the. side of Tik Tok that doesn't watch Tik. Tok. I only post on Tik Tok. I don't uh. scroll Tik Tok. >> She's asking if we're pro Tik Tok or. against Tik Tok. >> No, she's asking us She's basically. saying that there's an algorithmic. thing that steers you into a certain.

type of content on Tik Tok. And I think. Tik Tok people understand what she's. asking. But neither of us being Tik Tok. individuals, I don't think you're going. to understand this question. >> What's coming up on your feed is. basically the question. My algorithm on. Instagram Reels right now is heavy golf. content. I mean, I am getting There's. this one guy, Dan Greaves, I think is. his name. Greaves? Oh, yeah. He has a the the three releases.

I mean, you're. still paying for it. >> bad. My bad. Um but uh yeah, a lot of. golf content. Um a lot of AI videos that. I have to look at for a couple seconds. to see if they're AI, but of course. Of course they were AI from the very. beginning. Just you got to get out early. so you don't keep getting those fed to. you, man. There's nothing worse than AI. >> AI, but I'm going to go through the. comment section just to make sure that. it's AI. You're hilarious.

>> Even though it's obviously AI. Um The AI videos are the worst, man. I. know what mine are. Um. rodeos, guys getting slung off bulls. Otters, as we all know, there's always. those like three or four like reels or. just uh. I don't know, updates on what otters. have been doing around the world. And. then just sports, everything, every. sport you can think of, highlights all. over the place. Um I got a lot. of comedy like sketches, like like.

little like comedy bits, like stand-up. bits that I come across all the time. They. >> Yeah, same same. The stand-up bits are. always entertaining to me. Um. what else is in the algorithm? >> Surprisingly, not as much football as. you would think. I mean, I get my fix on. football with just like my love for the. game. I think right now there's nothing. There's no football being played. Um. >> good point. It's probably playing into. it. >> Yeah. I uh I'll get I'll get all that. stuff just on like the threads and like.

conversations through like my like. messages, yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. And we'll we'll shop that. shop those posts around to each other. more than we'll actually. see it on the reels. Um if it has to do. with sports, it's probably on the. algorithm. And then comedy, a bunch of. I can just laugh at. I'm looking. through it right now. I'm not getting a. lot of. I was big on billiards for a little bit. Ooh. Still get some billiard stuff. I. mean, any sports stuff is kind of free. It kind of alternates. Probably a lot. with the season.

Which is why I'm getting golf right now. and not a lot of football. I get a lot. of like do-it-yourself stuff. Ooh, DIYs, yeah. Yeah, a lot of like building. cabins in the backyard. A lot of Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep, carpenter. work. Yeah, that's I mean, that's huge. I love that I could sit there and. watch that all day. There's. actually There's some I got to. send it to you. There's a YouTube of. like but it's like it's an hour long. Like it just shows these guys in the. middle of like a jungle putting an. entire like. hotel suite with a pool. They're making. this all out of clay and wood.

It's insane. I'm more of a YouTube deep. dive. And then like certain guys on that. making stuff with like long form that. I'll kind of try to get into.

THAT'S NOT HOW I I DESERVE AN. UNBIASED JURY. NOT THE TRAVIS Kelsey fan. club BEING LIKE, "OH YEAH, YOU DID. CHEAT, JASON.". >> NO, you must you must you must look at. the comments. Most of the comments. actually say that they are not fans of. me and that they are huge fans of you. and that they typically side with you on. everything, but you definitely cheated. >> I I cheated in no way. I don't know what.

to tell these people. They. It's a good thing that our fans are not. are not judges. Yeah, it's not an. objective thing. It is a subjective. thing. You cheated. No, it's objective. that I did not cheat. It is not. subjective. It is plain and apparent. It's actually it's actually impossible. to cheat in this because you hit submit. and then your bracket is submitted. So. there's no way for me to have cheated. unless games already happened. Cheater.
