Joe Rogan (0:04)

The Joe Rogan Experience.

Joe Rogan (0:12)

And we're rolling, Gregory.

Greg Fitzsimmons (0:16)

Rolling, rolling, rolling.

Joe Rogan (0:17)

We were just talking about how they kicked, Jamie was telling us, how they kicked Michael Jordan off a course because he was wearing cargo shorts while he was playing golf.

Jamie (0:26)

Yeah, silly rules.

Joe Rogan (0:28)

I mean, that's crazy that you wouldn't you be happy. Michael Jordan's on your golf course.

Jamie (0:34)

I mean, I don't know if he's not paying extra to be there, you know, or bring doesn't matter. It's my people show up, but tennis, they for sure.

Joe Rogan (0:40)

People show up. They find out he's there.

Jamie (0:42)

Yeah, we don't want him to. I mean, that's like, you don't want him to come ruin it.

Joe Rogan (0:46)

I don't mean that. I mean, like more people will go to that course. Maybe like people be excited.

Yeah, the greatest basketball player of all time plays golf on your golf course.

Jamie (0:57)

Well, yeah, for sure. If he was going to be regular, that would suck.

Joe Rogan (1:00)

Was he just dropping in?

Jamie (1:02)

I think it was one of those kinds of places. He was probably playing with somebody at a really prestigious course, and they're like, get out of here.

If you got cargo shorts on.

Joe Rogan (1:11)

You were telling me the rules.

Greg Fitzsimmons (1:12)

You gotta, you can't wear shorts. The good course is you can't wear shorts.

Joe Rogan (1:16)

Ever. 110 degrees outside.

Greg Fitzsimmons (1:19)

And the caddies, the poor caddies are out there slugging these, you know, I used to caddy growing up. That was my first job as a caddy. And I weighed like maybe a hundred pounds. And they would send me out there with these, remember Rodney Dangerfield's bag, Caddy Shack?

With the tap in it. And these guys would have like 17 clubs. They'd have like 20 extra balls in the bag. They'd have an umbrella, a raincoat, ball retriever.

And I'd be out there. And I cadded on a really hilly course in New York. And it was like straight up and down.

Joe Rogan (1:53)

And you're carrying the bag the entire time.

Greg Fitzsimmons (1:57)

Yeah, there was no golf cart.

Joe Rogan (1:59)

How much do you think they weighed?

Greg Fitzsimmons (2:03)

Probably 60 pounds, 70 pounds. Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:06)

Together?

Greg Fitzsimmons (2:06)

Yeah, no. I would say each bag, I don't know weight that much. How much?

Joe Rogan (2:11)

Each bag? That'd be like you're carrying 120 pounds.

Greg Fitzsimmons (2:14)

No, probably 40 pounds. Probably 40 pounds each.

Joe Rogan (2:16)

So you're carrying 80 pounds around.

Greg Fitzsimmons (2:17)

And I weigh 100

Joe Rogan (2:19)

Oh my God.

Greg Fitzsimmons (2:20)

And up and down hills. And shitty golfers, which means one guy hits it to the left, the other guy hits it to the right. So you gotta run up to the left ball, leave his bag, and then take the one bag, run off to the right, see what club that guy needs. And then as soon as he picks his club, run back to the first bag. And it was crazy. And they say the average golf course, if you walk a golf course, it's about seven miles.

And when I would go there, this is the shit, this is the thing about when I was a kid, I mean, I was 13 years old. I used to get on my 10-speed bike and I would ride seven miles to the golf course. And I'd go to Twin Donuts on the way. I'd get a ham and egg sandwich on a roll with salt and pepper and a blueberry donut. And I'd sit in the caddy yard with these fucking lunatic Irish Catholic kids from Yonkers, Bobby Killer-Kolacki and Nicky Zappio, one arm Willie, one guy had one arm.

And then I would go out and I would caddy two fucking bags. And then I'd get on my bike and I'd ride seven miles home again. And then I'd go out and take mescaline and drink all night.

Sleep four hours, come back and do it again. Now it's like, I do a 45 minute workout, I feel like a champion.

Joe Rogan (3:26)

Dude, I watched Shane Gillis put down 15 beers during a podcast yesterday.

Greg Fitzsimmons (3:31)

I heard, Jesus.

Joe Rogan (3:32)

And he drank another 10 for the rest of the night.

He was 25 beers deep. By the time we wrapped up the show last night, I was like, that is fucking, I mean, he's a giant dude.
