My friend, David Blake, AK Blakey, a K a golf rules and questions on Instagram. And he's been a friend of mine. I don't know how I've been friends for like, probably like a year and a half, I would say. Yeah, yeah. I'd say a year and a half, but we've we're we just dork around a lot. We call each other. I'll call them in Australia via Instagram, but like my, and they'll be like what you want, but, um, I'll make a bunch of like crocodile Dundee jokes too. But, um, without further ado, today is my good friend, David Blake. Welcome to the show. Thank you very much, Paul. Great to be here obviously, as you said, we, uh, always have a few chats. This guy cracks me up all the time. You guys like we just laugh. I don't even know. Like I, it looks like Laura had a talk. How Switzerland, actually, this is my beautiful, not where I live, but this is my beautiful home country. Uh, it's not Australia. You don't have places that look like that in Australia. This is, this is New Zealand. Uh I'll I'll I'll try you. You're from New Zealand originally from New Zealand, living in Melbourne now. Same thing. Yeah. It's like, where's the kangaroos jumping behind you. Like it's like America and Kiva are the same thing is Australia as big as America. Uh, it's about 80, 85%. Really? Holy crap. I've never been in Australia. There's only like how big is New Zealand? Because California? No, it's as big
Speaker 3:As Japan.
Speaker 1:Oh crap. I didn't know that big. I would know you just you're so far away, man. You're like your side of the ocean. How big
Speaker 3:Is California compared to New Zealand? I don't know. That's
Speaker 1:A big where they got some dumb rules there. So I don't really know. It's pretty, uh, it's pretty big.
Speaker 3:Thank you to all those Californians out there. Listening to the show. We love you
Speaker 1:Do trust me, California. Don't like California. Nobody likes California. Like seriously. People like use live there. Cause it's, I mean, the beach is nice, but their laws are weird. Like four States. What States have you been studying at States? New York.
Speaker 3:Actually. I've been to Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1:We've been to Las Vegas. Yes. Nevada, Nevada, California. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Takes us, went to the Austin. I went to Austin. And uh, when was that? Two years ago for the WGC man.
Speaker 1:Did you visit the Alamo? No. No. Check out the basement and the Alamo. No, someone got shot there. I don't know. Pee-wee Herman was there in a movie once he was looking for the basement of the elbow. It doesn't make sense if I was testing your American history. Um, so what are you known for Mr. Maloney?
Speaker 3:Having a funny accent for you? It's having a funny, a funny,
Speaker 1:Listen, you guys, this guy, like a ton of like, uh, followers on Instagram, but I don't know what the big deal is. I mean, just a bunch of stuff about golf rules. Actually. He has like, that's how I found him. I started following him probably like two or three years ago. Like honestly, he's probably one of the foremost experts on like golf rules. Like you would ever think that, but it's true. Like he knows every rule in and out and like what, what he does, which I think is so cool is he'll take, you know, something from the week that, you know, from a tournament or something and be like, Oh look, well, this is Patrick Reed breaking a rule. Which rule did he break? And then people like comment like crazy. Like how many people comment on your, on your posts, which would be like over a hundred, right?
Speaker 3:Yeah. I mean, it depends, it depends. So, you know, some of the, some of them, I only get like four or five and then others, especially if it's really
Speaker 1:Like on the reset, like if it's, if it's Patrick
Speaker 3:Great or it's brought us into Shambo or it's toggle woods, you know, you're getting, you're getting a hundred comments, 150 comments. So it's, it's a big deal. And when those players,
Speaker 1:But it's so cool because you know, I don't know, honestly, like nobody, really, everyone kind of knows the rules, but they're not quite sure unless you play like tournaments or something like that. But to see what you, I think what is really cool about you data is you bridged the gap, right? Because you're like, look, these guys break the rules all the time. Like did you know, rule, and then you expose, you explain what the rule is, which I think is kinda cool. Like, Oh, you know, moving a big Boulder for tiger, you know, can they do that? You know, that's one of his, and is this kind of, it's very interactive in a way, even though it's on Instagram, but then I know you, then you went to moved to, you've been doing on YouTube tube for awhile as well. But what is your background? Like how did you get into rules? Yeah.
Speaker 3:So, you know, I've always been a golfer, you know, just like you always a golfer, loved golf. And you know, I never really, I never really thought, ah, I'm a rules guy, but I hate not knowing a hate, not knowing about a sport. So every sport that I watch, I want to know all the rules. Basically. I want to know everything about it. And especially if our, it, you know, we have, uh, we talked about this, uh, last week, uh, cricket, you know, crickets, not that big in the States, but it's, it's huge elsewhere, especially in the, um, you know, around India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Australia, New Zealand, big fans of cricket. And when I was playing, when I was a kid, I was playing it. I loved it. And I just had to learn everything about it. Learn, know all the rules, it's the same with golf. Uh, just have to know everything because I didn't want anyone coming up and saying, Oh, that's, you know, you're doing something wrong. I hate that. You probably hate that as well. Being a lawyer I'm never wrong. Exactly. Exactly. So long way to know. I do know the roads.
Speaker 1:Yeah. I mean, I got books. I'm like, Oh, let me check the little out real quick. You also similar thing. So like, when did you start golfing then? Like early on, like everybody else,
Speaker 3:I battle 11, you know, I played rugby and cricket and then a fan does getting a little bit small for rugby and golf. You can play all the time by yourself, you know? Uh, if you don't have any friends, it's a great game. If you have some friends while you played. Right. Yeah. That's exactly. But if you ha, if you have friends, it's a great game. If you don't have friends, it's a great game. Everyone should take golf.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I agree. I mean, so you started playing golf as a kid and then did you play, I mean, I don't know how school works there in New Zealand. Is it like high school? College?
Speaker 3:Yeah. Yeah. We don't have this sort of middle school thing, but basically I said, then you go to high school when you're eight and you go to college and, uh, w we don't really, we don't really have a college system for, you know, NCA a, a play for a college team or whatever. You just, you just join your club, your local club and
Speaker 1:City workers. How's that work.
Speaker 3:Uh, literally, uh, the club will ha will be owned. It will own itself. Basically. It's not a private club. It's not, it's not owned by John Goodman or whoever, you know, it's just any kind of sport. I should say, John boy, Joe blogs, Joe blogs, that's a generic New Zealand name. Give me a real New Zealand. It's not iron by Paul liberatory.
Speaker 1:You're like, it is not owned by the cast of, uh,
Speaker 3:The Lord of the rings. It's not iron, but data jacks it's started by the whole cast. You know? So it's a club. That's like, it has a president. It has a captain. Um, you know, it's, it's a club and you go and play against another club. And then the other club could be across the fence at a different course. It could be five Ks down the road. It could be 50 Ks down the road. Ks are, uh, kilometers. They represent 1.6. Ks is a mile. Is
Speaker 1:That another rule of math?
Speaker 3:I just kinda like show United as Americans with steering perio measurements.
Speaker 1:So you started playing golf. Cause I don't want to, I don't want to probably sleep doing math equations with Blake. Um, and then, I mean, tell everybody, like, what is your day job? Your day job is actually golf, right?
Speaker 3:Yeah. I'm actually, uh, in rules and handicapping for the national organization of golf in Australia. So essentially the same thing as the USG, I worked for golf Australia and Australia. And so not only is it my job, um, but I also actually really enjoy the rules of golf. Don't ask me why I, I really can't comprehend, but it's basically just the fact that I like knowing how the sport is played under the certain roles and that can change and I'll change with them. But at the end of the day, and this is what I tell people on social media, I'm just, I'm just a messenger. I just tell you what's written in the book. You might like it or not like it, that's fine.
Speaker 1:You don't have to judge. You're just the guy telling you that's a rule by the way, because you didn't know it.
Speaker 3:So, you know, I started, I started on social media, but the Instagram essentially, because I looked at these videos that other cans had posted, you know, the real funny ones. And I was like, people just don't know the rules. They have no idea. So how about, I just make, take that video. You take that video and say, this is actually what the role is and just started like that. And
Speaker 1:Oh, good. It's so good. I mean, cause I learned, you know, it's one thing to say, here's the rule, black and white, right? And then you say, Oh, here's a drawing of what the role looks like. But when you actually see it in play and I mean, you don't just take stuff from the tour, you stake stuff. People send Dan that's popular. The internet people be in Dom at the golf course, you know, whatever it might be. And then you are teaching off of that. Which honestly that's how you, I tell, I remember the rules. I'm like, Oh, that's a rule. You know? Like I think that's brilliant. Just brilliant when you started. So what year did you start Instagram then?
Speaker 3:Uh, 2015. It was about the start of February, 2015. And you know, I understand that you're trying to hide it, but I need to know now. And, and the whole idea was I started with questions and answers. Cause that's that's competitive mate people. Oh yeah. They would love to ask the question, answer the question,
Speaker 1:People on there who think they know everything that follow you. And they're like, man, man, man, remember? And you're like, actually no,
Speaker 3:Yes I get, I get a lot of that. Absolutely. A lot. And it, you know, I don't mind, I have no problem if people want to challenge me and they, they may be right. But most of the time they're not. And the, the worst thing is, is they think they're right when they haven't done any research. That is, that is like, this is, this is like a bloke coming in to your law firm and saying, Oh, he gave me this advice, but you're you're wrong. You're dead wrong. And I, I don't, you know, I Terry from down the street told me that your wrong. So I believe, you know, he told me this, so, and that's exactly what I get on my page. People come and say, uh, no, that's not right. And especially the last eight Oh two years, because the rules have changed slightly. Oh yeah. I just posted one this morning. This is since this is two years. Since the 1st of January, 2019 posted one this morning, some guys said someone's being lied to someone is lying to me or lied to me because they see like a grand my club and a bank. And I was like that, that role, it's never been the rule. It's, you know, someone's just absolutely told you the wrong thing. So now it's nuts. The MIS information, the fake news
Speaker 1:Use out there regarding Vicky's a golf rules. Well, that's a GC that one, the other day
Speaker 3:It was going, it was viral. This bloke teed it up in the teen area and pick the ball up, teed it right beside the whole part of it in and said that under rule 6.1, blah, blah, blah, that you could just take a two shot penalty and play it from anywhere. And so basically you just have three on every hole and everyone takes
Speaker 1:Tag me in it. And I was dude,
Speaker 3:No, that's not the role. Yeah. That's the way it works. Every I'd tag me. So I had to post it and they still do it. And they're like, ah, is this right? I'm like, Oh no, like that's not even close, man. You gotta, you gotta stop the hall within the thing area. If, if that was actually a rule, someone actually would've done it by now. I would be on the PGA tour if that was the rule.
Speaker 1:It's usual pelting every hole. So, okay. It's whatever that's probably, yeah,
Speaker 3:It was a par three. It's like, ah, I'll just shoot 50 for all of that. That's interesting. Everyone shot 54.
Speaker 1:Yay. Those are the Australian rules. See in the United States, we have to pearls.
Speaker 3:I get that. I get that one as well. People say that, yes. They say, Oh, the rules are different over here. I'm like, no, no, they're not. They're written by the same people.
Speaker 1:So are the rules in Australia the same as a rule, the United States,
Speaker 3:They are exactly the same.
Speaker 1:What's the, who makes the rules on USDA
Speaker 3:And the, uh, the S and the RNA, and then together,
Speaker 1:What happens in Australia follows those rules then too. Yeah.
Speaker 3:W we have a representative on that committee that makes those rules and dolphin, New Zealand has a representative and, you know, golf, Japan and golf career and Gulf, China, blah, blah, blah. They all have representatives on the committee and I all get down and sit down together and they have, uh, you know, have lots of bottles of red. And they also come up with the rules. They smoke, they smoke, they pups and they'll look like Sherlock Holmes. That's right. I'll take that penalty away for someone causing the ball to move on the putting green
Speaker 1:Rules. Because you know, now, I mean, look at the Bryce and right. Also far, you know, I guess you do look, I started trying to curb that they, I mean, he's a winner. He wins a lot, but she still chokes. So, I mean, embrace it. Don't get me wrong. I wish I could hit the ball thousand yards. But he, you ever see that though? Do you ever, do you ever think that would happen where they would change the rules in a way to curb the performance of players or just
Speaker 3:That they sh they should not, they shouldn't Curt the performance of Bryson. You know, if you want to go out there and hit the gym, Paul, if you want to go out there and hit the gym and, you know, get yourself beefed up and hit the ball, another 50 yards in the air. Good on ya. Well done. That's awesome. If you want to go and hit the ball, you know, practice, practice, practice, and hit the try and work on hitting the ball as straight as possible. Good on ya. That's fantastic. The rules, aren't going to stop that. What they should stop is they should stop how far the drive can. The driver can actually hit the ball, um, which they do already a little bit with the 420 430 a say, say, I think it's full 30 CC and the trampoline face. Uh, but they haven't really brought back the ball yet. For me, all you gotta do is make the ball spin more. All you gotta do is make the boat, make the dimples deeper or whatever it is that causes the ball to spin more. Because if you, if the ball spins more people, aren't going to try and hit it as far as they can. Cause it's going to be further off line. So just make the ball spin control. And you know, that's what the, you know, that guy in the background behind you, that's what I hate to play with. You had to play with, uh, bowls that spun a lot. And you know, if you, if you're not hitting a well, you, you just trying to find the field,
Speaker 1:The RNA will have a video or something boring, and I'll be like, Oh, here's the rule. But I mean, you're the only person who really kind of shows the cause and effect, you know, of real players playing, which I mean, it's hilarious actually.
Speaker 3:Yeah. I mean, it's, it's a, it's a cool thing. You know, I get, once I started, um, you know, as I said, like the first six, nine months, it was just this text on a, on Instagram. And then I started getting tagged in these videos and I was starting to work out that I had enough content that I could post basically every day. And you know, it's already happened. It's not like it's happening in front of their eyes. It's already happened. I'm just asking a question that relates or somehow relates to that video or photo. And then the answer is below that. And as you said before, like, you know, it's to have videos and there's lots of funny stuff and interesting stuff on the tour, but it's also, yeah. Paul liberatory sending in a video,
Speaker 1:Does the PG ever, like, have you ever gotten letters in the PGA saying don't share stuff?
Speaker 3:No, but they block me. So they just go on Instagram and they find their code for that video and they just go, we want their blocked. We can do that block by block. They're on YouTube. They, most of the time they don't block. Yeah. They just copied right it and take the, uh, take the Moolah, Moolah, the moon, the money, uh, you know, um, it's, it's indifferent for me. I don't worry. I'm not too worried. You're just having fun. I mean, you're just doing it. Just, just people. I mean, I'm educating people, that's all I'm doing is just educating.
Speaker 1:Yeah. I mean, it's not like you're doing it for any other reason. I mean, it's part of your day job. Number one is to educate people on it. And then what you're doing, what you're doing, what you've done is you've bridged the gap between something that's kind of boring, right. Cause rules. And nobody wants to be alert to making it fun and funny because we want to see the pros rake the rules, and we want to see funny stuff on the internet. And so if you can bridge the two together, that's what you've done. And then you educate the person like, Hey, this is the actual rule. Oh, you're on Instagram. Right. Which is called rules and questions. And then you're on YouTube as well. Right now. Are you posting like daily on YouTube?
Speaker 3:No. I post maybe twice a week. Obviously we've got our pod podcast, Roscoe and I have our podcasts, the golfers question podcasts. We'll post that. And we might post like a tour or a video or an education video or something like that. So we're nearly at 3000 almost catching you, but, uh, you know, we'll, we'll have caught you buddy,
Speaker 1:But you have like a billion minutes of watch time, man. So, so you started Instagram first, then you went, did you start your YouTube channel the same time or no, he did that later. Yeah,
Speaker 3:No, no. Uh, probably, uh, probably three years ago, four years ago, but you know, I had, I didn't really put any effort into my YouTube and, uh, I only started putting effort into my YouTube in about February this year. So
Speaker 1:Tell me about your podcast. When did you start that?
Speaker 3:Yes. I started that in August with my good friend Roscoe or Ross Flanagan. He already has a couple of podcasts. He has one called my love of golf. That's it? That he's been doing for two years. Uh, it's basically just about golf and he just talks to people. He's actually got really good sort of interviewing skills in that regard. So, um, and then he does another one called the mental mastery with Jamie Glazier and Jamie's a, basically a sports psychologist, um, taught. So just
Speaker 1:So the men it's about the mental game then? Yeah,
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah. Yep. Yep. And it ranks quite highly on Apple podcasts. So he's got the, my love of golf, the mantra mastery. And then he, we played together at start of the year and he was like, Oh, you know, if you want to start a podcast and I wasn't thinking about it, I was like, ah, you know, I've got all this other stuff on, but he was convincing enough and you know, it's takes a fun, like doing this kind of thing, this podcasting, I didn't realize it's so much fun. Like you just talking crap and then you, you know, if someone listens, you're like, yeah, hopefully they get something out of it. Yeah.
Speaker 1:About people. I didn't know. You know, I forgot you were from New Zealand. I always tease you Kush from Australia, but you're not. But so yeah. Sometimes I want to come visit
Speaker 3:Zealand's Baylor, but, uh, you know, there's more jobs, there were more jobs, there's more job opportunities and, and, um, Australia basically,
Speaker 1:Well you an extra on Lord of the rings.
Speaker 3:No, but that would have been awesome. So awesome. I mean, they, they filmed like eight movies or whatever and the five, five movies, whatever it was because he's got three 20 years ago though. So
Speaker 1:If I call the Hobbit back, then still,
Speaker 3:Still looks like New Zealand. Like
Speaker 1:What's the rule where if you had a bird in the air. Oh, cause there's a lot of videos on that I've seen. I know.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Well there was one at Sawgrass on the 18 tower and there was one at Punta Mita and mixed care it's played as it lies. Actually there was one of the side of bird. No, no, well, yeah, you gotta play or alive. I did. Bird is a loose impediment.
Speaker 1:So then what do you do if you have to move the bird,
Speaker 3:Need you try and hit the ball or you could, uh, take a penalty drop. It's really, it matters a lot rules matter a lot. I know that people might find them boring and I might hate them, but the rules matter a lot because if you're playing by the certain set of guidelines and then another person just decides that they don't want to play by that set of guidelines. So that gives them an advantage.
Speaker 1:I'm playing a sport with one per with yourself, right. So, I mean, you got your pink gets other people, but if you're not playing all by the same rules, then how is that even fair? Right. Exactly. And if
Speaker 3:We talk about this in terms of someone's life or livelihood or career, if you miss out on getting your PGA tour card or like, you know, you've gone to qualifying school to get econ ferry to a card, or you're playing on the Korn ferry tour and you miss out on that top 25 spot by$10, are you going to be annoyed and then eating or not that day, that night. And then you find out that you're number 26 and then you find out that number 25 beat you in a tournament six weeks ago when he, uh, he caused his Boulder move, you know, and didn't replace it or whatever. And you know, that one shot was a hundred bucks and they, they got their card at number 25. And you missed out number 26. Yeah. Annoyed with your career. You could have been on the PGA tour and now you've got to stay on the Korn ferry tour. And uh, you know, who knows where you go from there,
Speaker 1:How does the rules work then during a tournament? Are you guys watching, like making sure that people are, are they like, how is it like in your normal day job when you're doing the tourneys? Like, what are you doing?
Speaker 3:Yeah. So we were sitting in the carts and a lot of our game, a lot of our role is looking after pay supply, which has got to make sure that people get round within the days, you know, the sunlight of the day, you know, they tee off at seven, we're going to get them around before six, before it gets dark or before five 30 or four seven, whatever the daylight hours are, you just got to get them through. And, you know, there are some really slow players out there and it's really annoying that they play so slow. They don't really need to play so slow. Uh, and then in terms of watching, yeah. If a, if a golf is like hits their ball near me, I might stay there and watch, but I won't try and be
Speaker 1:The car. And I'm like, what's up. Yeah. It's funny the ball at me,
Speaker 3:The amount of times that I've been looking at players over this way. Right. And looking at players over this way. And then I see someone had a shot and I'm like, I can't get a call over the radio. And it's like, Oh, you need, you know, can you come to whole blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, okay, see that there's no one playing. So I'm like, sweet. I'm good to go. I drive. And then there's someone playing over there and they all stop and they look at me and they give me the biggest desk there. And I'm like, um, no. And then I just race off. I'm like,
Speaker 1:So have you met a lot to we're players then?
Speaker 3:Yeah. Yeah. Like in terms of met, um, you know, they wouldn't remember who I was, obviously. I see they see, uh, committee members all the time, but you know, if I start working on the PGA tour, uh, familiar faces, you, you know, you're here. Like Bryson probably knows the referees firsthand. Cause he sees them all the time and he asked, you know, asked to rules, questions and stuff like that. You know, the tournament directors, Bryson Bryson's cool. The tournament on the PGA tour, um, you know, the, the players would all know them because, you know, when they come to a, a tournament, there's the guys that are always there. Uh, they're always there to provide, uh, knowledge on the roles and the, and the actual outcome. So yeah, if you start that familiar face, you're definitely like when I started working on the PGA tour of Australasia. Yeah. No one knew who I was and they were all testing me at the start as to how good my rules knowledge was after they found out that I was actually quite good. They stopped testing me and they just went and got on with like, nobody's
Speaker 1:Seen my Instagram, I know
Speaker 3:A few of them have, and I don't push that on anyone. It's not like, uh, you know, Oh, you know, I'm an old joking around, I'm not a golf was authority on the rules of rules, authority. But, uh, but I liked the rules and I do have some knowledge and, and the knowledge is probably better than 99.9% of people out there.
Speaker 1:So like some of your most popular videos though, or like Phil and Ricky and tiger, right? I mean, you get like half a million views on YouTube. That's crazy high. I mean, it's really awesome if you think about it, you guys, because what he does is he'll take the video from the tournament that maybe the, during the day, right. I've seen that before, too, where you've, you know, what was it a couple of weeks, a couple months ago, there was something like that, where there was a big argument and they're trying to figure out some with Bryce and I think it was, and then you'd post it that same day. And you're saying, and then a common explanation of what was going on, like afterward dressing. And this is what the rule is, what you know, and that guy, how many views? I mean, it was
Speaker 3:250 in a day.
Speaker 1:It was crazy. I was like, I don't know. I, I see what you're doing is really special. I think it's cool. And really, I just want to friend, you guys, like we are friends, we joke around all the time. We're always like talking crap to each other. I mean, that's just, we work together. This guy's awesome as he is, he'll add this guy so much. I would love to stay in my garage. Right. I don't want any homeless person do that. And this is what is nice. This isn't my garage like crap. Right? There's an actual garage, like a car in here now. It doesn't have, it has an arcade machine and the TV. I mean, you probably wouldn't even move out. It's a really nice garage. I know you're jealous. I know you are. When I, when I get more views on YouTube, I'll leave business.
Speaker 3:This will be a holiday house.
Speaker 1:It will be, the holiday house could be a holiday house. This could be it. This is LA. I could run this thing out for, like, for ELLs. I know people do that. So what is your plans then for next year with golf rules and questions and everything you're doing?
Speaker 3:Yeah, just growing the YouTube. Um, as I said, it's the, you know, the number one objective is just to educate people on the rules of golf. I want to create a beginners course, like a beginner's course on the rules of golf, uh, so that people can go through that. And, uh, you know, it's going to give
Speaker 1:Them some real good base knowledge, especially if they're beginners to the game of golf. And, uh, yeah. And then we'll probably try and look at doing an intermediate course as well. And obviously you can always find me on social media. They can always email me or, you know, go on YouTube and, and ask me questions basically at any time. I mean, yeah, you're really assessable. I mean, he's not like some guy who just kind of just, Oh, here's the rule guys, blah, blah, blah. I'm cool. You know, what he does is, I mean, people are always pinging him and saying, what about this? What about that? I have a question he's always very open to talking to people. Yeah. Maybe I should go down the membership route, but, uh, until I do that, I'm accessible and brandable as well. So, you know, if anyone wants to stick their brand on my forehead or go for it, you could do that. You could send them some packages, but he'll never open it because he never, so don't waste your time. Just seeing cash. Cash is King. I'll always open cash, but so U S currency, you can't really spend that money in Australia. I'm sorry. That means that I'll spend it when I'm over in, uh, the U S I've always gotten 23. That's right. That's right. I wish this guy would have come out. We would have so much fun. We were playing.
Speaker 2:We're gonna go play golf.
Speaker 1:And I was going to create content, create content and is goof around. And I would probably break rules to make him mad. And then he'd be like, tackling me. And that's the wrong rule. You broke the rule. Mate got a lot of kick the ball and I'm like, yes, you are. So well, thanks for the show today. I appreciate it. My friend, my long lines. It's awesome. We finally got it done. I know we've talked about this for like six months. Yeah. So go check your mail. Okay. Cause it was like, honestly, it really hurts my feelings. I appreciate it. I will go and check it out. No you won't. I know you won't. That's when I talked to you, like I'm on the way to the golf course. And then the last time I talked to you, you were like, I'm driving my kangaroo car, taken up some furniture or whatever. So you never get to kill some crocodiles. That's what you're doing. And you're like, Oh, you think that's a knife? And then you like pulled out this big knife to open up a box. Well, if they should be on this show, I'm sorry. That had to do a bunch of bad impressions today for everybody. I'm I promise we'll never do that again, unless less impact than somebody from England. Um, uh, be sure to check out, uh, Blakey on golf rules, underscore questions as well as on YouTube, which is the same.
