Well, guys, I am so honored. I am joined today by the absolute royalty of golf podcasting, honestly, royalty of personalities too, if I'm being fully honest. The co-hosts of We Need a Fourth, Kenny May, Brian Baumgartner, and my boy, Coooper Manning. Boys, welcome. I'm so excited for you guys. I'm so excited for the podcast. Thank you so much. This is great. We've been having a blast. This is the threesome that we didn't know we needed in America. And then when I tell people that you guys are doing this podcast, everybody's very excited. Do all love golf to varying degrees, explain a little bit about your relationship to golf. Well, first off, well, I would say that Kenny loves golf the most, for sure. I think Kenny loves golf more than Coooper and I love golf combined. He just needs to learn how to play it. True. Got it. Yeah. I mean, that's love me back. Now, I'm a disabled senior and I play back way back with those guys from the tip. So keep that in mind. I'm just, that's not fair. I'm trying to learn. I'm trying to learn. I got a lot more to learn, but I do love the game. You know, I was going to ask you about your hockey team up there in Canada and whether you get distraught. I get incredibly competitive when it's over. I'm done. Like it's not, it's not like I don't carry with you. I don't carry the joy or the pain for longer than like 25 seconds. Right. Coop, you don't get, you're not very competitive in that way. Like golf for you is a lot of fun. You like to have fun. I mean, you like to get better or whatever, but I've gotten to the point where I do not like playing golf, as much as I love playing golf, I do not like playing golf with people I do not like and I won't. You can, someone can invite me on the greatest trip. We're going here and I'm like, who's going and if it's a bunch of bozos, Coopie is out. I'd rather go play an absolute muni with two guys wearing football jerseys and smoking weed and get a story out of it than some stiff at, you know, some fancy, schmancy spot. Well, that makes sense and this podcast obviously is, you know, we need a fourth. So it's golf centric, but you guys kind of delve into it safe to say that you guys go on tangents that aren't necessarily golf related. We also get very deep as you, you know, interviewed with us. I mean, we talked highlight, we talked Canadian football, we talked about your love of hockey and your love. We try to, we want the whole person, we're peeling back.
