00:00We cold opened with some electric karaoke from Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry, last year's champs.
00:06We have another entry from Ben Griffin and Andrew Novak, and I'm just going to play a little snippet of this
00:12and let you be the judge as to how they did against Rory and Shane.
00:30So I guess none of these guys played an instrument growing up or had any form of music classes,
00:52but that didn't matter because they were focused on playing golf and winning tournaments.
00:56So, Smiley, let's just kind of start with this is something that we thought, at least on Andrew Novak's side,
01:03we thought this was going to happen.
01:05I didn't know this was going to happen as fast as it did after the conversation we had last week
01:09and the playoff he narrowly lost to Justin Thomas.
01:12You obviously did because you called it.
01:14What does this sort of represent in terms of a career progress for both these guys
01:18and just the validation of being a PGA Tour winner?
01:22I mean, we're always evaluating these guys week in and week out.
01:25One of the things I didn't necessarily forecast or see was that neither of these guys could sing.
01:34I kind of thought that one of these guys might be able to carry the other.
01:37That was a tough scene, boys.
01:38Lost the words.
01:39I will say that I think Rory and Shane probably closed out Andrew and Ben 5 and 4.
01:45If we're going to compare and contrast.
01:47It might have been 9 and 7.
01:48It might have been like a Victor Hovland, Ludwig Overtake.
01:52To be fair, this is all about what song you choose.
01:55I understand We Are the Champions may feel like the right song, but if you go with Don't Stop Believin',
02:02now you got the crowd into this.
02:04You know, like they're singing too.
02:05You got to go Sweet Child of Mind.
02:07You got to know what the crowd's going to give you.
02:12Like Colin Braden Rouge would have hit because then you could have just stomped around
02:14and just did the mic like this, you know?
02:16Well, a couple of Carolina kids.
02:18Like let's do, you know, Gone to Carolina, My Mind.
02:22Or just Jump.
02:23Or something like Blue and Jump.
02:24Yeah.
02:24I mean, yeah.
02:25Is that the Jump song?
02:26Or is it?
02:26What song?
02:33I think you're doing this.
02:35Is it Van Halen?
02:36Jump.
02:36Yeah.
02:37That one.
02:38That one.
02:38Okay.
02:38We might be the only two people on earth that are worse at karaoke than Andrew Novak and
02:44Ben Griffin.
02:45Oh, no.
02:45I love karaoke.
02:47I love doing it.
02:48Give them some bluegrass tunes or something.
02:50A couple of Carolina kids.
02:51Yeah.
02:52So we are the champions.
02:54Van went to Carolina.
02:55Come on now.
02:56That's something that I must say when I go talk to these fellas.
03:00They should have just gone.
03:02I don't know.
03:03I understand that that's what they probably should have done.
03:06But I thought there was a lot of potential there to just bring the house down.
03:11You know?
03:12Very fair critique.
