- And! - And we're back.
- We're back.
(clock ticking) (applause)
Trick shots.
- Trick shots dot com.
- Golf.
All day all night. (triumphant music)
- Oh that's all right. (Shay laughs)
I'm Nate Bargatze.
What's going on right now?
(audience laughs) I'm a stand up comedian.
That feels right.
And that's what you do.
And my favorite thing is.
- Golf.
Fire in the hole.
(lively music)
So we're just hitting around, playing in the simulator.
Getting some numbers.
(ball clinks)
That sounded weak.
We love gambling on the course.
We do a lot of Venmo betting.
You don't wanna be going off the Venmo
'cause that's your wife finds out about that money.
As long as you're in the Venmo world
no one knows about it.
This next guy that comes on Darius Rucker,
he's got way more money than us.
- Yeah he does.
- Did y'all golf on the road together?
- I think we did a couple times.
- Yeah we did, we did.
- What is your favorite place to play golf?
- It's Augusta.
It's the greatest place in the world.
- Yeah.
How many times have you played it?
- Oh I don't know.
12, 13, up to quite a-- - I mean the fact that you
say I don't know is wonderful.
(Darius laughs) That's the best answer to it.
Like I don't know. - If we would've
played Augusta we'd be like, I've played it once,
I'll never be invited back.
- I actually do know, I just didn't wanna say.
(everyone laughs)
- Son of bragging. - What's your
best round there?
- 81 is my best round there.
- Oh that's great. - Yeah.
- You play the tips when you go back?
- You can't play, they don't let you play the tips
unless you got the game, no, no I play it from,
I play the regular tees.
- Yeah yeah you gotta be like,
they're like reasonable there.
You're like, I don't do the tips,
they're like don't be ridiculous.
(everyone laughs)
- You're insane okay. - More courses should do that
to be honest.
- They should. - When people go back
to the tips they should, no.
- There's nothing worse than seeing some guy
who absolutely can't play hitting off the tips.
And you're behind them.
You just wanna kill everybody.
- He had his longest drive and almost hit you
on the white tees.
(everyone laughs) - You see.
- Exactly. - It's like.
It just barely makes it to you.
- Exactly. - You always see him
walking alone to the tee, you know what I mean?
Like when you always see like,
we played Augustine John Augustine.
- Yeah. - Just turned pro. Vandy.
But like he's always like when he plays tips and we won't
you always just see him up there by himself.
Like. - Yep.
- Absolutely. - Just no one's up there.
Like-- - It's a little embarrassing.
I wish you could just like, look dude, just play with us.
- What does it matter? - Be a regular guy
for just a day.
He just goes back there, like oh I get it, you know?
You're a professional golfer. (Darius laughs)
Get outta here man. - You're great, we know.
Yeah we know man. - We get it.
- And I think we're both in the same boat
when we're gambling for golf,
we don't really know the game.
- And there's new games, like people are making up.
They're like all right we're playing hawk smash.
- Everybody's gambling different games.
(Shay laughs) - Yeah.
- And you're like, me and Shay are doing eight ball.
Darius we're doing hawk smash.
- Yeah. - You know and then
all of us are gonna play wolf.
And you're like what?
We're supposed to be out here together.
Why don't we all just play this one game?
- I'm just gonna start telling people,
like hey don't do that.
- We don't appreciate it. - You know I'm gonna
hit 'em with the ball.
- We should do, as we get to the hole too we're going,
hey I'd love to sneak over to y'all's guys game.
I'm hating this game, I mean over--
(Darius laughs)
- We've been talking about you know Tiger Woods today.
Obviously, unbelievable.
And you've played with him I'm sure.
Right? - Yes I've played golf
with him several times, yes.
- That's unbelievable.
That's all we needed to hear.
We just like-- - That's all we wanted to--
- Yeah we're big Tiger fans like that's, this is big for us.
We've met you, so we've basically met Tiger.
- Tiger's a trip,
'cause Tiger he talks trash the whole time.
The whole time you're playing he's talking trash.
And I'm like one day I said
"dude, you're number one in the world
and I'm number seven million
six hundred and thirty-five thousand?"
(everyone laughs)
Why are you talking trash? - He's still putting you down.
- But something he does, and he does it every time we play
and I play bad.
And we'll get to like 16 and he's crushed me,
you know I'm just dominated.
And he'll go
"hey man, you know what you've been doing wrong all day?"
And I was like, "you saw that on number one didn't you?"
And he's like, "yeah" I was like,
"well why didn't you tell me?"
He's like "cause I wanted to beat your brains out."
(everyone laughs)
- Like he needed an edge. - Yeah thanks a lot.
- I wanna know how much money have you lost?
What's the biggest gamble you've ever done?
- The most I've ever lost on the golf course
is probably I don't know, maybe 20 grand?
- I just peed a little bit.
- Yeah well I just lost 10 grand to Shay
'cause I bet him it wasn't that high.
(everyone laughs)
- This day just got incredible.
I don't know how to thank ya.
- I'll tell you guys a really funny story about that.
I spend the night at Willie Nelson's house,
we played a couple games of golf.
And so the first day we're there
he tells me what the game is
and I go "okay, I got it figured out."
And Willy can play, like Willy's down the middle,
a little short.
He either chips it up and makes a putt
or like he two putts.
But like Willie is really good.
And so we're playing and I'm not playing very well.
We're playing straight up.
And we get to number nine.
And he wins number nine and I look over and I said
"Willie am I down eleven-thousand dollars to you?"
(everyone laughs)
He's like, "I think you are Darius."
- That's unbelievable, I would never,
I think if you told me like,
guess someone who doesn't golf?
- And is good. - And is good.
I'd be like.
Maybe Willie Nelson?
That may be the first person-- - Willie's--
- It's incredible.
(light rock music) - Willie's good.
- We're back at it. - We're back at it.
Back in the game. - We've not moved at all.
- Nope. - Here let me hit one hybrid.
- That's not gonna be good ladies and gentlemen.
Where do you want me to stand?
- Wherever you don't wanna get hit.
One of my first jobs I worked at a golf course.
Hermitage Golf Course here in Nashville.
- And who else had a job at a golf course?
A really really good friend that we're just meeting today.
Brandon Flowers.
- Brandon Flowers.
From The Killers. - The Killers.
Unbelievable band.
Incredible golfer.
- You used to sing
their songs. - I don't know that, but.
Yes. - "Mr. Brightside".
- Yep we covered "Mr. Brightside" and it was fantastic.
Didn't sound as good when we did it, but you know,
it was (Shay laughs). - But they still did it.
- People would ask who sang it?
And they're like, well we let 'em,
why don't we let 'em do it?
(Nate laughs) So, you know, it'll be good.
Brandon Flowers.
- Brandon Flowers. - Okay.
- Did you guys ever work at golf,
none of you guys worked at a golf course ever?
- I worked at Hermitage Golf Course here
and I worked there.
And I would pick up range balls and I loved it.
But the range cart that we had
had metal on the front and the sides,
but the back was a loose net.
And so if balls hit the back of that range
it was basically like there was no net.
And you would just get drilled with balls.
(Shay laughs)
- That's horrible. - And it's a course
where everybody's trying to hit that range cart.
You know some courses, no one's trying to hit the range cart
and then there's courses where you're like,
the only reason we're out here is to hit the range cart
when it drives around and picks up.
- You know everyone knew
that there was a loose net back there.
- Yes, oh yeah. - It wasn't like,
they knew that it was gettable.
- Did you work at a golf course?
- I did yeah when I was 16.
For about a year-and-a-half I think.
I had a cousin on tour at the time.
And he got me a job at this pretty sweet place in Vegas.
I started off on the range and then it was kinda,
the next tier was cleaning clubs you know for tips.
And cleaning golf carts.
And so I had a lot of fun, it was my first job
where that hustle and bustle and the tips coming in
and kinda working at an angle.
And it was fun, it was exciting.
- I always like you see those old guys work at golf courses
like when they retire.
And I just wanna, I could look at that,
like I could do that.
Absolutely. - But that's Nate's,
that's his long-term plan.
- The dream. - Like you know
this comedy thing's pretty good but,
I think I know what I'm gonna do.
- Boy's about to tee off today.
Get just little random small talk with everybody.
You go, "how you hitting 'em out there?
"Little wet today huh?"
(Shay laughs)
And then you just can say all these small little words.
(Nate laughs)
- It seems like you've thought about this
a little bit. - Oh I would--
- Like that's the end goal for you.
- I would've tried to be a caddy if I could go back.
I think being a caddy would be pretty fun.
- It would be.
I'm not good enough to be a caddy, but,
maybe by the time I wanna retire.
- Yeah to carry the bags a lot man.
- That sounds. - You know?
- That sounds heavy.
- I saw a picture with you with Tiger Woods.
And when you were young.
- He was still in college at Stanford yeah.
But he was already this you know super star.
It's crazy to be in college and have fans
that are willing to drive up and watch you golf.
And I lived in a town just south,
you know about 45 minutes south of Provo.
And BYU were playing Stanford.
He was already this thing that we were aware of.
So we went and watched and just kinda destroy
all the players (Brandon laughs) at BYU.
(everyone laughs)
It was incredible.
I mean these guys would hit their best drive
and he would fly it every hole, every hole,
he flew their drives.
And he was just this supreme being already.
- I've played a Red Leges, is that in Utah?
Red? - Oh yeah, I live not far
from Red Ledges.
- Okay yeah yeah.
I gotta play with Tony Finau.
And he played out there, which is unreal,
when you get to play with a pro.
And just how far they hit it, it's so much better.
The ball just doesn't move.
It doesn't really go, it goes straight,
it goes where they want it to go.
It's unreal to watch.
I think when people listen, thinking about golf,
and they people don't like golf,
they don't know how hard it is.
And so when you see the guys on TV.
And someone says that,
they should have like a 15 handicap or play in the US Open.
Should be like--
- Let's see what that
gap looks like. - Just so you can see
where you know he's gonna shoot 140.
- Yeah I mean I play with guys
that are slightly better than me, and it ruins my day.
Right where I'm just like,
you know I hit like a 240 and I'm like, I just hit a,
I'll say it too like "oh that was struck well."
And then you just get up there
and it's just 100 yards past yours.
And you're like, "I think I'll maybe just sit this one out."
I act like I was,
like I was playing from the black tees though,
and they were on the white,
so I wouldn't even worry about it.
It's horrible.
It makes me very sad.
Nate's better than me and I don't even like him.
And I have to golf with him. - I think
everybody knows that.
(Shay laughs)
And we're back. (relaxing music)
(ball clinks)
286.
Let's talk to our good buddy Riggs.
Maybe get some speed on your swing.
- Yeah I'd like to give him some tips.
As you can see, I've clearly got this.
- That was actually
a great shot. - Figure it out.
It was pretty fantastic. - Yeah.
Do you have a swing thought today?
- I got a swing thought today.
I had this buddy's trip and it's very competitive.
It was like eight on eight.
So there's friendly banter
and then there's an element of competition banter
where you're trying to weed through this.
Is this guy really trying to help me
or is he giving me a tip that's gonna like,
send me off the cliff for the whole week?
You just don't really know what you're getting into.
But I will say the guys said,
"hey I knew the second I saw you swing this week
that your grip,
your left hand needs to be rotated to the right
about two full knuckles, otherwise you have no chance."
I'm like, well what the,
like what the fuck makes you think that?
Like what is going on?
Rolling it from left to right, that that's my game.
- That's how you get in someone's head.
If you can go tell them anything.
And to go like, wow the left knee kinda flares out huh?
And you walk away.
And that person's done.
Like they're, if you do that to me.
- You're gone. - I am done.
Like I will think about that left knee.
- You ruin that persons month
if you do something like that.
(Nate laughs) There's a code.
'Cause you can't get over something like that.
- He didn't do that. - Like I was
probably baiting too.
He was probably like he was baiting you.
Like he gives you one good tip
and he's like "well that's my guy."
- Just say and go-- - The next week
he's like "have you ever tried playing left handed?"
And you're like, this is, I mean this guy,
he was right the first time.
- You always move your head that much?
And just walk away. (Shay laughs)
And then ever since like.
- You're not blinking
while you swing right. - I'm over, I'm standing
in the sun watching the shade
like just trying to be there with my head moving to.
Like I mean I'm just done dude it's like.
You tell the person that you wanna drive,
you're like "no I'll walk I got everything."
You're carrying like your four iron and putter
in a 60. (everyone laughs)
'Cause you're like, I just, I need to walk this hole dude
I gotta be left alone like for a little bit.
- So then you know I get to the range the next day.
And I got the left hand fully
as strong as it could be.
And I'm ripping balls on the range.
So I'm like, this is the secret.
So now I'm pretty convinced that that is my move.
Is if I just strengthen my grip by about two knuckles,
and again, the minute that I have one bad swing
it doesn't work out, you guys call me and I'll be like,
hey I'm watching a YouTube video on the fourth hole.
(Nate laughs) I gotta come up
with a new thing.
- I thought about putting recently.
I was like, "I'm just gonna do speed
"and I'll just be near the hole."
Like I can't, it's not gonna go in.
I'll just try to be near it.
I don't know how to make it go in.
I don't know how to keep it straight.
If it's three feet, I'm still just gonna think about speed
and just be like
at least a tap in. - You heard it here,
Nate's gonna do speed.
I don't even know.
- Imma do speed. - If you can say
that on a podcast but. - Yeah no yeah do speed.
(Shay laughs) Hey go ahead and do speed.
- Kinda speed you up. - You're gonna be
scratched in no time. - He played in an hour.
18.
18 holes in an hour. - Just be up all night.
- He's like-- - What'd you guys do?
I haven't been to bed.
- I've watched all the videos
on YouTube. - Every of 'em yeah.
- I think I've figured it out.
- We're back. - We're back.
Here we are. (inspiring music)
- Here we are. - Back again.
(Shay laughs)
Shit.
(beep)
Golf!
Shit.
(beep)
Golf!
(explosion) (horse neighing)
(Shay laughs)
It's getting pretty good,
I caught him. - Get out of here
right now Shay.
- Yeah, get outta here dude. - Get outta here.
(camera clicks) This next guest,
one of my favorite comedians honestly, very funny.
Not a bad golfer.
Pretty good golfer, plays nine holes usually.
- It's a good way
to keep your score though. - It's a good way
to keep it yeah. - Just shoot
a 45. - Just play nine holes.
Yeah. - Yeah.
Shot a 45 holes. - Just play nine holes.
Very funny guy, David Spade.
Did you grow up golfing?
- Never seriously, just more like to kill time.
When I was like 12 I golfed with my buddy.
We played 36 holes in one day.
But we told his dad that on 18 holes
I shot an 80.
He was going with it for a few days
then he finally so sick of our lies
that he went, he had to go out with us.
And I got like a thousand.
(Shay and Nate laugh)
I'm like "oh are you counting it
when you have to hit it again?
And when it goes out of bounds are you counting it?
And when you go in the lake do you count it?"
- He goes "yeah I mean that's how you play golf."
I go.
"Okay I guess I got higher then."
(Shay and Nate laugh)
I thought I was good and I was not good.
And then I got more serious about it
just because I learned more from Caddy's and stuff
just picking up little tiny things here and there.
'Cause if you just play all the time
you just about stay the same.
(David laughs) It's one of the most frustrating things.
Like it doesn't make you any better.
You're just always.
Until you learn like another trick like,
when I'm short of the green,
it's hard for me to just bloop it on.
I see 'em on TV it's like so easy and perfect.
Straight up, I go that's the hardest shot.
Or out of sand they go poof,
and it just goes doosh doosh in the hole.
And I go I'm like this bla-ter.
(Shay and Nate laugh) You know, like 100 yards.
And I go, I don't know, that's the hard one.
So sometimes caddy's go,
"just move the toe when you're clubbing."
And then from then on I know that one,
and I go, so I get better over time.
So anyway, I'm better now.
But I just have those hit and miss,
I'm still hit and miss.
- Spade's a good golfer though.
I mean I've played with him.
- Who's better?
- Spade's pretty consistent.
Like that's, you, I feel like when you play
you were hitting it, you were staying.
It kinda it goes straight, you know.
Solid shots. - I don't hit it as hard.
But when you don't swing as hard
you usually go straighter I've found.
So I'm just trying
to work on not getting those triple bogeys or even doubles.
I'm just trying to keep it within reason.
And that's the hard part.
But the greens that are fast,
like at Shadow Creek, which I love.
I love Summit out in Vegas I like--
- I've played Summit yeah. - Summit's one of
my favorite courses.
I've ever played. - Gotta have fun.
And then every two holes you're eating a bag of Skittles.
(David moans)
- You did that right now
is you did the lesson with Tiger Woods
'cause it was out, 'cause he,
sad lose in that wreck the next day.
But did you think you took something from him
from those lessons?
- Just the fact when I went to the driving range
and he pops the ball out,
you know kicks it over to me with his club.
He's so smooth.
I was already like oh man.
If he was just standing there
and no one is out there, that's 90 percent of the nerves.
And then they have all these cameras and you're mic'd up
and you know he's just like annoyed.
Like I gotta listen to this clown you know.
We played for hours you know.
We played four holes and it took forever
'cause I had the driving green putting green
and then go out.
And so and they have to put the camera up there and wait.
And we just sat in the cart.
So really like the time of my life
is just sitting in a cart with him
BS-ing with-- - With Tiger.
Which is amazing.
- I got to golf with the best golfer in the world,
and he got to golf with the best comedian in the world.
(everyone laughs) (triumphant music)
- Thank you Netflix for letting me talk
about my favorite thing. (camera clicks)
This thing.
- Your hand?
- Well it involves golf.
- Okay.
- I'm putting it around and I'm poking around.
That's how I
can do my comedy. - It's in the game.
- I'm in the game. - He's in the game.
He's back. - I'm in the game.
(ball clinks)
(smooth music)
