What about you?

Well, I'm hoping that they've made some big improvements.

They've been so unlucky with injuries the last three years.

They've had big-time quarterbacks we thought we brought in, and I think we've gotten six games out of them in three years.

So that's been a problem.

But I think we picked a nice, easy game to start with Notre Dame, maybe the best team in the country.

But I think they're going to be better.

You can find it all at SanfordInternational.com. Andy, if I were to ask you one or two favorite holes at Minnehaha Country Club, what would you say

How do they just sort of manage all that going into the week?

I think that if you look at the history of guys playing at home, it seems like they either play great and have a chance to win, or they're not even close.

And that could be explained by there's Every friend, your mailman, your melt man, your cleaner, everybody needs a ticket.

Everybody wants to see you play.

So if you don't handle that part of it well, it could be a very distracting week.

But if you can get focused in and do what you normally do and not feel like it's at home and get out there and play and then all of a sudden have all those home fans be on your back the whole way, that's a big deal.

So I like both of those guys this week or next week.

And what was the idea behind it? And what do you want it to do for golf fans specifically?

but I'd love to explain kind of the story.

Well, first, first of all, I think it's really important to understand that it's the time of year.

I'm home quite a bit.

And Susan wants me out of the house.

You know, she's happy when we got a two night road trip someplace to get me out of the way.

Uh, no, I, I, you know, I've, I grew up in Madison.

Um, So many of the coaches over the years have been good friends and not just basketball, but football and hockey and volleyball now with Kelly.

What is your best story that you've got as far as the travel that you had to deal with when you were playing? Because you've told me a bunch of good ones.

So Andy, as someone who's played this course before, who's someone on the tour that's going to be participating that you think their game fits nicely with the course?

Well, I think you've got to look at ball strikers.

I think that's always really important at a U.S. Open.

Can you drive the ball in the fairway? I don't think that Shinnecock favors longer players that much more than a shorter guy, although length is always, you know, that's always a huge deal.

But it's about putting the ball in the right places so you can play.

If you get it in the wrong places there, miss the green, short-sighted, the ball's going to run off into junk in a lot of cases.

So it's going to be really important to hit the ball well.

Open.

Open.

You've got a chip active at the minute, match day one.

Yes.

So I'm going to go quite aggressive in the group stages because I've had this debate with a lot of people and a lot of people.

So I'm basically going to use max cap in match day one.

And that's because I just, there's so many games where there could be a six or seven nil in there.

And I'm not exaggerating that.

They really, really could be when you look at like, you know, Spain versus Cape Verde.

But yeah, you've opted to back Brazil and France.

Well, you

know, the junk that supposedly has gone on with the Bucs the last couple of years.

Give me a break.

Can't happen.

That's ridiculous.

You don't.

I told you this story that my freshman year in college at Florida, the best player in the world, amateur player, was a guy named Steve Melnick.

We need to win a division, and the way it goes through is the team that won it last year, which is the Bears.

And so do you think this goal is realistic then, that everything in Debian Fourteen will be reproducible?

I must say, I was surprised when I read that.

I think that's a pretty challenging goal, but it...

But then I, I read a little bit more.

It seems that they've already been working on this, right? So it's not coming out of the blue.

They've had quite a bit of stuff reproducible already, and they've decided that now is the time that they can achieve, like, everything being reproducible.

I think that's really ambitious, which is cool and probably a bit surprising for Debian, who are, tend to be quite slow about things.

Just compatibility, like maybe you pulled in the wrong libraries or something.

Over the years since Millennium has taken over, like how have you seen this grown? Because this is our first year here.

Well, you know, it's very interesting.

I mean, this race was biggerThere's no question, and obviously if we're just looking at the running scene, the impact that COVID-19 had across the country in 2020, obviously a much bigger impact to the entire country, and there was a rebuild because this sport reinvents itself every few years.

You look at a race today and then you look at the race three years ago, same race, there are a lot of people who ran three years ago who don't run anymore.

I said, "Look, three of us have been running for a long time.

It's not an easy sport to sustain, so people come and go." Right around the time when people were, were saying, "I've had enough", and the new generation came in, unfortunately we were hit with COVID-19 and it took a couple of years to rebuild.

Yes

...

Got it.

You know, like, like underneath Oregon.

I feel like that's very, you know, you're away from the cities, but you're like in the forest area.

But it's like, I don't know, maybe if you want to, if you can-- There's a lot to choose from in California.

Okay

... you know, like, like underneath Oregon.

I feel like that's very, you know, you're away from the cities, but you're like in the forest area.

But it's like, I don't know, maybe if you wanna, if you can-- There's a lot to choose from in California.

Okay.

Okay? Um, yeah, it was a Heath Riles recipe actually.

So what I do is I, I just pull it out.

I'll take some, uh, Dijon mustard as a binder, and I am not a mustard guy at all, so I go light, but just use it for, you know, the, um, to help with our seasoning.

Um, score the skin a little bit in a crosshatch pattern, and then pick a rub.

You know? We'd, we've done different rubs with every time.

We're a big fan of, uh, St. Elmo's rub with, for a whole lot of stuff.

Mm-hmm.

And what about you, Andy? Who sent you to talk to us on the Menopause and Cancer Podcast today? Who's your other half? Tell, tell us.

So my, my better, stronger, more resilient, wonderful wife is Janey.

She has been listening to your podcast, and she told me a number of weeks ago that you were looking for volunteers to hear this side of the, the story.

So I contacted yourself, and then obviously made the connection, and here we are today.

So my wife was diagnosed, Janey was diagnosed with cancer in September time, September, October in 2024.

Came as a major blow because at the same time we were dealing with her father, who had terminal cancer.So in between running to the nursing home, we were going to the hospital.

Janey had had a couple of cysts in years gone by previously, so we'd had a couple of scares.

Mm.

Really? I mean, that's-

Marco's.

I ain't trying to sully the Marco's name in case somebody is listening of importance.

... mm-mm.

It ain't good.

You guys are missing out.

The poor...

We know good pizza in Central New York.

[laughs]

No, that's one thing that I've- I've realized, is just being ourselves, you know? And that's, you know, the...

Put, put ourselves, being ourselves on the, on our sh- on our shit, you know what I mean? Like, instead of us, like, "Hey, let's do this take 20 times and make sure we're perfect, and the light's right," and you know, and all these things.

But it's, people wanna know who we are and just see who we are, you know? So I think that-

[laughs]

Um, one, we definitely rely heavily on, you know, our fans and super fans, or, as you might call them.

You know, people that show up and they'll stand in the front row and, you know, live stream our entire show, you know, singing every word, you know.

And they wanna do it for just the reason you said, you know.

And yeah, again, hopefully it can really inject some good quality stuff into what's there right now.

Yeah.

There is a potential danger with becoming just a bit kind of crazed by the amount of money that you've been given and then overreaching.

But I would say that, like, quite a few of these European initiatives, and I think Sovereign Tech Fund is among them, seem to be a slightly longer term thinkers than just handing out vast amounts and then not supporting projects later.

I'm not, you know, I'm not saying they're definitely gonna contribute more, but hopefully they'll be fairly consistent in the way they operate.

But also it sounds like they're gonna invest it in infrastructure, which might be stuff that can pay off longer term rather than...

Like, if you employ a developer on a, a grant like this and it doesn't come in the next year, then, uh, it becomes really difficult.

According to this piece, yes.

But anyhow.

Yeah.

It's, it's amazing.

But like, so the draft itself is, so you get, you, you're all happy and all that kind of stuff, but then, like for me, for parents and kids, when you, when you, when that day happens for you, you should be happy, you should celebrate it because it is an awesome thing, but I think the next thing that you have to realize is whether it's a first, you're a first round pick or, or you're a late pick, what that did for you is it opened a door.

It opened a door to make a team.

It really did.

It opened a door to make a team, and you can look at that as a negative or a positive, um, because like that sounds like if you're a, a second or third round pick, you say, "Well, they opened the door." It's like, "No, I'll make it." No, not, not really.

In my

Hi, it's Amo from the Tidy Boys as well.

It's been really hard picking a track from the past, one, because there's so much to choose from, two, because we're very old and forgetful.

Anyway, we have found a track.

Right, time for a brand new one, and this is one of our current favorite tracks at the moment.

Yes, the next track recently came out on our Tidy Too label, produced by Paul Norris, who is also Drax Nelson and Agent Jack.

This track's called Deeper Love.

It's by Phase Unit, and this is the K-series remix.

We think it's a bit of a summer anthem.

Uh, so how safe do you think it is to live in LA?

I have personally never had any big problems with safety.

There's obviously places in LA that you kinda, you kinda stay-- wanna stay away from, and maybe even then, like, it's just also the timing.

Like-

Uh, so how safe do you think it is to live in LA?

I have personally never had any big problems with safety.

There's obviously places in LA that you kinda, you kinda stay, wanna stay away from.

And maybe even then, like, it's just also the timing.

Um, Harlow, would you have told Zephyr about your, your, your indi- who you are as the Prince of Twilight?

Um, I th- yeah, I think in that time, during that long rest, as we were catching up, I might have said, you know, that I, I'm still recovering my own memory, so I, you know, uh, none of this really means anything to me other than the facts of it, which are that it seems that I am someone that I, that I didn't know myself previously to be, of great power, and I've, um, I've maybe, um, uh, chosen to give away that power, uh, in, in service of, of breaking down the status quo at the behest of this mysterious [laughs] figure that I've just met.

You may.

On its turns, it can take either an action or a bonus action, not both, and it can make only one attack if it takes the attack action.

Uh, if it casts a spell with a somatic effect, there's a 25% chance the spell fails.

Um, an affected target repeats the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the spell on itself on a success.

So that's, again, wisdom 15.

So I'm gonna now move away.

And you're also grateful to have it

... as a dad, and this is why I'm grateful because I don't take it, I really don't take adva- uh, uh, for granted the, um, the opportunity that that was even though it's an earned thing and it's, uh, approves, you have to prove yourself every day.

But what, what I, what I love about it is that first of all, Charlie was drafted to a, a phenomenal, phenomenal or- organization in Guelph.

Um, so grateful that I've...

And, and for any parent, honestly, at the end of the year or when you have your opportunities, even though sometimes you think your parent, your, your team, coach, whatever are not on your side, you have to look deep and, and find the good because there's people doing big jobs, right? And when you find people that have helped you even a small amount, like that's something to be grateful for because not everybody's like that.

So number one, the Guelph organization like, like couldn't be better.

It was so freaking good, and it started with George Burnett.

Yeah.

So as a past player, as a commentator, what stands out to you about the PGA Championship the most?

Well, I think, you know, historically, you know, for years and years it was played in August, and it was about heat and, and you never could get the golf courses firm enough.

You know, it was...

Uh, you get the thunderstorms in the afternoon in a lot of parts of the country.

Uh, and it just, it just really didn't have its own identity.

Uh, you know, early years and years ago it was match play.

Um, I think that'd be kind of cool to have a major that was match play.

Given all that's been happening of late, where do you think we'll be in one year? And if you had a moment with Brian Rolapp, what would you either suggest we do, or what do you think will happen?

Mm.

Or kinda switch it around a little bit.

And like, you know, he said himself, it's, you know, maybe it's not to do with you, it is to do with them, and how do you change that? How do you make them comfortable? Is it, you know, is it a chat? Is it a break? Is it maybe just, you know, taking a second to sometimes, as bad as it sounds, but sometimes just making a joke and just having a little laugh.

That really seems to-

[laughs]

Literally, it's just like, oh my God, really? You like me too? So, you know, I was always like, you know, I was a, I was a big chubby kid growing up.

I didn't have any eyes on me till, and then, you know, I kinda got this confidence boost at like 28, 29.

Started going to the gym, you know, the whole glow up scenario, and then things kinda happened where I ended up at these parties and-

Yeah

... of, of nature.

Um, definitely, uh, restored our faith in humanity because of the overwhelming kindness and generosity that we experienced, you know?

Mm

...

the second we come out from the council offices, we was off on an adventure on the train to Cornwall.

We entered the biggest adventure of our life, you know? So we, we didn't actually ...

We felt free.

Hey, everybody.

What you're about to hear is some interviews that I did this past weekend in Binghamton, New York at the PM Press and Riot Act organized Upstate Anarchist Book Fair.

Binghamton's a town about three and a half hours from New York City, known mostly for its college.

It's also something of a Rust Belt town.

People in New York don't talk about it very much.

Doesn't have a particularly good reputation.

Mm-hmm

...

Never gonna live it down

... you have to, like, coordinate.

If you don't know them, it's a little bit, you know, I don't know, you, you want, don't wanna step on people's toes and it's just different.

If you know each other, you can kind of, like, be up in each other's grill and be kind of, like, you know, coordinating, ragging on each other and et cetera, and that's really fun, um, with Expert.

But Standard, when you don't really know people and you're just meeting them and you don't, you don't wanna quarterback what they're doing, uh, that's a great way to do it is.

And it will actually get harder than it would normally otherwise be because, you know.

It's different than, like, sitting at a table by yourself playing two-handed or three- Standard where you control everything and you know every hand, and you're in this all working, you know, together as you design.

Incredible scenario
