Chapter 1: Who is Andrew Santino and what new podcast is he launching?
Yeah, well, look, I went on tour for two years with Bobby Lee, so I had to stare at Bobby Lee in his underwear for two years on a tour bus. So I think I'm owed a little bit from the universe for giving this love of comedy around the world. And so after two years of touring and I shot my special that's going to come out on Hulu in September with Peyton Manning's company, Omaha Productions.
Shout out to them. I wanted to take some time and I had pitched this golf show. I said, you know, I want to do this one whole walk and talk with celebrities, athletes, golfers called No Bad Lies. And I give them deliberately bad lies and all the while they tell me a time where life gave them a bad lie and how they recovered.
uh... and uh... it was it was uh... raised by many people in the business they thought oh that's a great idea and i said i'm gonna do it so the first two episodes are out right now with cam smith and john rom i'll give you a couple sneaky names that are going to be on the show you know charlie day michelle we michael phelps we've got a a host of people not just uh... you know golfers but also athletes and celebrities and uh...
A few sneaky ones that are pretty impressive that I will say will come out later in the season. But yes, it's a way for me to play golf. So what, Dan?
Oh, no. I actually think now hearing you talk about it, you've changed my mind by the way that you talk about it because I'm assuming that one of the things you're trying to do in the comedy space is – is show a vulnerable thing to people while also golfing. Like for you as a comedian to be able to talk to athletes or whomever about like, hey, can we talk about our feelings here for real?

Chapter 2: What is the concept behind Andrew Santino's golf podcast 'No Bad Lies'?
Like, it seems like that's something that you would do because you're interested in making good content. You're like, you're not going to just fart around out there and golf.
No, no. The depth of the show is that. I like this philosophical tie-in of golf is like life, that it's going to give you a lot of bad lies. A lot of people go through a divorce, a loss.
uh... you know tragic things happen in our lives are just small hiccups they don't have to be traumatic but uh... just like a golf you have to find a way to recover and i just i i'd like this philosophy i'd like this you know it's not that comedic sometimes but by just i'd like that world of How do you recover in life? We're all put in bad situations, and how do you get out of it?
We've had some funny stories. We've had some heartfelt stories. I'm excited for people to see the rest of the season. It gets really good, and it's funny. All the while, I'm goofing and taking shots at myself, and it's also nice to see me take shots at professional golfers who have to be kind of tied up all the time.
Can you tell me why it is that you disappeared?

Chapter 3: How does Andrew Santino relate golf to life and comedy?
I was very disappointed in you, and I am happy for you and your success, but I thought we had a deal for you to be like a Chiefs correspondent during the run because you're friends with Kelsey and you're friends with the Holmes, and you'd talk trash to your fan base by saying, I'm allowed to be friends with the Chiefs, but something got lost along the way, and then you disappeared. Was it the loss?
I went on tour. Was it the loss? No.
No, it wasn't the loss. No, I just been on tour for so long. I'm trying to make money. I'm not like you. I don't have a big fancy studio with 19 employees that you can yell at and lash out whenever things aren't going your way. And whenever a bit isn't going right, I hear you in the headphones just ruining these people's egos. I mean, it's unbelievable. I mean, look what you did to Wah.
You think Wah's going to go home tonight and feel good about this? He's going to sit in his kitchen and eat cold soup like he does at night. And this is going to hurt. This is going to hurt, Wah. Nod your head if this is hurting. This hurts, Wah. He can't even nod his head because of this neck brace you've got him in, both physically and metaphorically.
Wah, if you need help getting out of there, can you close your fist? Can you close your fist like this? Put your thumb in your fist? Yeah, do it with the glove. Thank you, Wah. Very good. You know what, Dan? You know what, Dan? I get it. He does take direction well. I see what you're doing with him. This makes sense. Yeah. Fantastic.
You calling him Wah. Are you a hockey fan? Are you in any way a hockey fan? What are your sports allegiances? How do they work?
You know, look, I like hockey. I would never claim to know a lot about it. Is the reference to, I mean, I know Patrick Wah.
Well, that's what we were doing, but that's why I was laughing so hard at you calling him Wah again every time because his name is Roy. Well, I have to.
I play into the bit. You give me the bit, I'm going to play into it. No, I do like hockey. I mean, look, I'm supportive of the Blackhawks. The Kane and Taves era was great. I think Bedard is one of the greatest young players I've ever seen. I think he's been dealt kind of a little bit of a tough hand, to be honest with you. People have their opinions about his attitude.

Chapter 5: What is the story behind Roy Bellamy's neck brace and punishment outfit?
You understand— Also— The Panthers outfit. What is that? Is this punishment? What is this? What is that?
You are exactly right. This is punishment. I have all the gear. Every last one of these pads and the jersey and everything. I'm wearing it right now because of a punishment. Show him the skates. I got skates as well.
And he's saying it's hard to do his job that way of executive producer because it is a physical punishment.
That's right. Roy. Yes, sir. Roy, given what's going on right now, both culturally and economically, don't you think you have a case here to be made for employee abuse?
I mean, I would if we had an HR here. Roy. Roy.
Roy. Roy. Roy. Well, let me represent you, please. I'll be your counsel.
I hope you're pro bono. Yeah, pro bono.
Hey, don't talk like that, man. This is a family show.
Okay. Andrew, thank you for joining us. You have rocketed. It's fun to see because you're doing it with your best friend and you're just laughing all day, every day. And now you've got a new podcast. And I'm pretty sure it's a scam from what I can see. I think you're just want to golf a lot. And so somebody's going to pay. Somebody's going to pay for it? I'm living the dream.

Chapter 6: What are the sports allegiances and favorite teams discussed on the show?
I am from Weston, Florida, which is an upper middle class suburb of Fort Lauderdale.
There we are.
Wait a minute. Wait, are you a surgeon? Can you do that, please, to him with every question you ask?
Oh, sure. So upper middle class from outside of Fort Lauderdale. And dad did what for a living?
My father was a financial advisor. Thank you for asking.
You look like a kid of a financial advisor. I know I do. The way you hold yourself. The way you hold your shoulders looks like a kid whose dad, you know, was earning really good coin. Was mom stay at home, Tashay?
Oh, of course.
Yeah, she stayed at home. This kid got, you know what's so funny about this guy? Wah, turn around real fast. Look at this guy and stare at him this whole segment. Tashae is the kind of guy whose mom had food ready when he got home with his friends after school. She cut the crust off all his sandwiches. Tashae never had dirt on his shoes. He always walked in the middle of the road.
And when anybody was doing something up to no good, he'd go, guys, I don't think that's a good idea. That's Tashae. Oh, that's the most accurate thing you could have said the whole time. He does that. He is unbelievable. I can feel this guy. I can feel this guy from a mile. I can feel him through the computer. Tash, I can't wait to meet you when I come down there. I love you.

Chapter 8: Who is Tashae and what personal background details are shared about him?
A little bit more. I got to tell you, that grew on me just a little bit. That grew on me just a little bit. I got a little bit of love for you there. UCF is good. Good for you. OK, we'll take that. And then can I guess out of three? I'm going to give three guesses and I'll be done. Three cars that I think you might drive. Let me get the camera on one more time.
Hold on. Right now, three cars you think he might drive.
Yeah, I want to get what I think he might drive in three guesses.
Do any of us know, though, so we can know the payoff? Do any of us know what he actually drives? Can someone write it down? Can someone give it to me? Like, what's the payoff here? Do any of us know what the car is?
We know that. We know. We're not going to say it out loud. Obviously, Andrew has to guess, but we know.
Okay, I'm going to guess. For fun, I'm going to say a Mini Cooper. Could you seem like that kind of guy? A little cutesy-pootsy parking around a Mini Cooper? Oh, man, I love the Mini Cooper. Well, it seems like it's easy to parallel.
No, I don't drive it, but I love it.
Hold on. Hold on. Don't say it. Three guesses. Just Mini Cooper is number one. Number two, I would say is a, it's something humble, something in the realm of like a Honda Accord, something reliable, humble, something in that regard, because that gets you to, and then I would say, I would say you're, oh, so, oh, well then, you know what you are, Teche? You're in the Hyundai world.
You're a Hyundai driver, you like Hyundai, and based on your look, I'm going to guess it's that town in down south Arizona. You're a Tucson.

Oh, my God. You would have gotten there eventually, man.
You would have gotten there eventually. You would have figured that out.
So you're saying, I love Tashae, I'll see you when you're down in Miami?
