and a deep passion for this specific company, it sounds like.

just based on that news coverage, it does not seem like that pipeline would be a great investment?

All the animals covered in

And so as a matter of corporate strategy, that something else is?

And so it's hard not to paraphrase, there will be blood here, but Big Jim is an oil man.

And the way it works, so like Exxon gives Big Jim the pipeline?

And that superlative is not one that we can claim ourselves.

This is a reputation that is actually...

It seems empirically validated by no less a source than his now estranged gambling partner, Billy Walters, who provides in his book and audio book a dossier that is also overflowing with some pretty crude material.

The narrator here is, in fact, Billy Walters himself, not Sam Elliott, which is an understandable bit of confusion, if you have that.

At least it was on his own team.

I was going to say, that is better than the alternative, on the one hand.

Well, this was a concern, actually, that Billy Walters articulated, because Billy Walters very clearly wants you to know that he did not take this wager.

Look, the sheer accounting of all of this, if you trust Billy Walters as your narrator, can also be backed up by just a general accounting of how much money Phil liked to throw around.

All of which is to say that this big-time gambler making big-time bets meets Big Jim.

But as someone who has been following Phil Mickelson and his friends with golf writers, lots of golf reporters who have been following him for even longer, the texture of his, I would say, hundreds of tweets about Sable Offshore, that texture mostly feels like desperation.

Just how worried was our group chat full of bros about this?

Right.

So, Hunter Brook, Hunter Brook Media, I want to explain the premise here as to why these bros are turning to Sam Koppelman.
