Chapter 2: How did Rory's performance compare to previous Masters tournaments?
I just, I'm curious. All right. You know what was hot this weekend, though? The clubs. Augusta National. Yeah. You too, Mark? Every time. You too, huh? This is the last time I have to hear the wake music, though. Until next year. Everyone out there that's listening that are Dan Patrick listeners, I call this at the wake music. Bye. Him. Him did this song at the wake.
You know who wrote this song? I don't know. I don't know. But this is the viewing like you and you're in the funeral home. You're saying hi to everyone. Good to see you. Haven't seen you in 20 years. It's great to see you. There was a fine person. Then you go up to the box and you look in the box and you say your final goodbyes. That's this music. I've got your answer, by the way. Who is it?
Who we got? The iconic master golf tournament theme song titled Augusta was written and recorded by singer-songwriter Dave Loggins back in 1981. Oh, in relation to Kenny?
Related to Kenny.
Yeah, there you go. All right. Yeah, it's his cousin. Third cousin, though. Way to go, Dave. Third cousin on his daddy's side. What are those royalties looking like? Hey, by the way, he actually is the cousin of Kenny Loggins. All right! There you go. Highway to the danger zone. There you go. Nice. They couldn't be further apart, by the way.
One's getting you jacked up to go in a fighter jet to go fight. The other one's after you came down in the fighter jet. I think Kenny Loggins did the... Why am I blanking on the Caddyshack theme song? So Kenny Loggins did that one as well, too. So very golf-centric are those Loggins boys. Good for them, man. All right. Anyone have any problems with Rory winning the Masters? No. I mean. I didn't.
Jonas is a hater, and he's going to find a way to devalue the fact that his guy that he picked out of the hat won, which I wanted him. I wanted Rory, by the way. I wanted him. Rory's the favorite. Yeah, for people that don't know, on our show, we draw names out of a hat. And then that's how we determine who's going to win the Masters or who we're going to be rooting for to win the Masters.
I pulled Roy. I didn't think he could go back-to-back. I surely didn't think he could potentially go wire-to-wire, even though he coughed up the lead. Six-shot lead going into the weekend. Cough it up. I mean, congratulations. Scotty Scheffler's unbelievable. And I knew once Scotty Scheffler... Hey, what happened? Yeah, thanks, Mark. Hey, Dave. Thanks, Mark. Hey, Dave, you're still playing.
Oh, God.

Chapter 3: What impact did Mikal Bridges' consecutive games streak have on the NBA?
No. I thought it was ā here were my takeaways. The fact that Rory joined three other golfers, major golfers, and Nicholas Faldo and obviously Eldrick. Only four players. You got Eldrick. Yeah. You better include Taunt if you're going to conclude Eldrick. Eldrick, Taunt, Woods. You better include Waymo next time. And Waymo ā
Eldrick's arch nemesis, somebody that's going to get him home safely on the road. They actually are the only ones to ever repeat at Augusta, which led me to my next takeaway, which was the fact that Rory had to come into this situation knowing. what the pressure was to obviously repeat, be a completionist of the Grand Slams.
I thought it was pretty interesting because the mental ā I can only imagine as a football player, former football player, the stress and feelings you have mentally before a game, how that feels, especially ā the bigger the games get. But you're by yourself in golf, right? It's you versus the course. It's you versus your equipment. It's you versus your swing.
It's you versus... It's just so many different things that you got to take into consideration. And the fact that he managed it in a way where... Having such a dominant start, but then eventually almost giving it away. I mean, like we said, he only won by one stroke. So I thought that was pretty impressive. And listen, I watched it, but I didn't watch it. Right. Like I had it on.
But it's just I don't know. It feels like this music. It feels like I should have this music playing when I'm watching it. I think the most noteworthy bit about Rory winning this weekend was the fact that he was able to overcome that awful Masters dinner that he put together. Awful. Awful.
I mean, and way to take a shot at Ireland, you know, and say, well, you know, I wanted them to enjoy it, too. That's why I didn't include any Irish dishes. It's just disrespectful. But he was able to persevere. And next thing you know, he's got the green jacket yet again. So congratulations to Roy.
I do want to bring to light one thing, and this was probably one of the things that a lot of the haters had an issue with. Uh-oh. So Mark or Patty Sweet, if you could, there's some sound after Warrior I believe was already up at that minus 12 mark, maybe after day two or day three if you could play it. Yeah, as long as we take this music off. Come on, Dave's in his groove right now.
You talk like you know him. Is he even still alive? Dave Loggins? Yeah.
I honestly just don't like the three tournaments leading up to this event. I'd rather come up here. I did a couple of days where I dropped Poppy to school, flew up here, played, landed back home, and had dinner with her, or had dinner with Eric and Poppy. I did a couple of day trips like that where ā I felt like that was a better use of my time than going to Houston or San Antonio.

Chapter 4: How do the NBA playoffs change the dynamics of player performance?
As close as it was. Oh, no. Yes, no. By the way, Dave Loggins passed away in 2024. Way to rub it in. There you go. I'm just saying. You were talking like you was on the phone. You were talking like he's in studio, Jonas. What are you talking about? I mean, since he passed, the music. Dave's keeping it going. I mean, the music works. Yeah, Dave.
What up, Dave?
What up, Dave? Keep it going for Dave. By the way, this is one of our favorite things to do on Two Pros and a Cup of Joe is set Jonas up for failure by basically allowing him to say something about someone who we know is not alive. That's all right. You should see this man's toupee on the 700 Club right now. Is that Pat Robinson's son? Because he sure enough has his head. Jeez, Monetti's.
700 Club took a new meaning. 700 pennies in your head. Why is his head so big? Anyways, back to golf. We had a hole-in-one. Sure did. There was a hole-in-one. Sure did. How about it? Yeah. Sure did. Took place. Yeah, it was nice. The weather didn't have an impact on it. There was no rainy days or anything like that to worry about.
And, you know, people just got to sweat their ass off in Georgia and watch some high-quality golf. There was almost a 25-year-old that won. Baby age. Young age. What do you mean? He almost won it. Yeah. And guess what his last name happens to be? What's that? Young.
Young.
Cam, how about it? How about it, man? So, you know, there were some interesting storylines connected to the golf outing. Wasn't all boring. Yeah. Well, Rory winning, though, was ā I mean, obviously I made it very clear I would have liked to have pulled Rory out of the hat. I didn't, but it's a Jonas Knox show to everybody out there that's listening.
Like, me and Brady are merely contributors and support to Jonas, the big star of the show. And, well, when he ā And when Joni Lynx picked his player, you know, his ā His new and very, very cooperative show producer made sure that he got Rory McIlroy. Yeah, that's just how it worked. Brady gave me that moniker years ago. We were talking golf, and he said, man, you know your stuff.
He started calling me Joni Lynx. No, what I recall is back when we used to have a guest that would come on named Live Bet Jesus, he would always find a way, like, for example, of live betting, I don't know, the Masters with Rory before his final putt on 18. That's correct. Basically, he'd bet him to win it. Those would be the type of odds that typically live bet Jesus would take place.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of load management in the NBA?
How was your dinner, by the way? No Hattie Patty. No Hattie Patty. I like that. That was a really good dinner, though, guys. Was it? Yeah. Honestly, Delilah's was a 10 out of 10. Is that right? Brady said you went to Arby's. What? I didn't say you went to Arby's. I thought you maybe had roast beef at some point. Got you some chipped beef. No. We got the meats. No, man. Had a lobster roll.
Had some pasta. Oh, lobster roll. Come on. You got some crustaceans?
Damn.
What? Someone's trying to set the mood there, huh? Did you get on that liver lube a little bit? Yeah, a little bit. Yeah. Had some wine a little bit.
This sounds romantic.
Now, hold on, hold on, Patty. Who'd you go with? Lorena. Huh? No, okay. Who else? Just me and her. All right. Oh. Oh, really? What? And now, had you been to Delilah's before? No. That would be a first for me. Who chose Delilah's? Lorena, actually.
Oh.
What? No reason. I did tell y'all what Delilah meant.
She's a man eater.

Lewis Hamilton, Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon. Wouldn't you know it? Michael Schumacher is also a Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon.
the story of the sport's most consequential driver's strike. We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom. And was Daniel Ricciardo's illustrious F1 career a success story, a cautionary tale, or some combination of both? He started getting all this attention, and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this.

Chapter 7: How does the statue of Ichiro reflect on sports honors and recognition?
All that is out the window. The NBA playoffs are here. And with that, we've got to say congratulations to Mikkel Bridges, who's got a consecutive games played streak. It's impressive. A lot of games. A grueling 23-second appearance yesterday to keep the streak alive. That's a lot of games. But he is 638. Consecutive. Yeah, 638, which puts him in pretty decent company.
He's eighth longest in NBA history right now. And maybe there's some people that might not like the fact that he, you know, Got in for 23 seconds just to keep this streak going. But you know what? In a league that does have load management issues and superstars that are not playing, and can I just say this?
There was a fan who held up a sign that said they traveled from Europe to come see Wemby play, and he ended up not playing in the game. That's okay. Hey, you know what? If you planned your trip around seeing that wind puppet run up and down the court, then you need to get better friends and you need to get better things to do. Why? Don't map your entire vacation around Wemby playing in a game.
Go see some other things. That's a perk. It's not what you build your vacation around. I'm sorry. Why? Travel internationally. And hopefully they at least got to see him, potentially meet him, say hello, get an autograph, whatever. He's from there. He's a Euro. How is that any different than you flying to go see a Cubs game? Yeah, but I'm not bitching if somebody doesn't play.
Yeah, you also choose to go in the beginning of the season. And you also lose a lot, too. You're used to being disappointed. Some people still get bothered by being disappointed. You got a lot of balls coming at me after Joni Lynx called Rory McIlroy to win the Masters. You can't say you called it. You picked out of a hat. Yeah, my hat. Patty Sweets made sure he got the Rory McIlroy tat.
I nearly fell in that hat.
By the way, to take it one step further with Mikkel Bridges, did you guys see how he got out of the game? Foul? He literally committed a foul just to get out. It was like 23 seconds was actually too long for him to be in the game. He wanted tip, ball to go out of bounds, I'm out of here as long as it's in. First off, I'm not trying to take anything away from Mikkel Bridges.
I do think there should be something, some caveats here. If you're going to start, you've got to play at least the first quarter, at least a certain duration of time. I mean, 23 seconds? Are we really considering this a start? Yes. That's where we're at? Yes. Yeah, I have to say it. I hate to do it, but he has not missed a start since getting drafted. I get that. I'm just saying I don't know.
Okay, so if he did the same thing for 638 games straight, you'd be okay with that? No, I would not. It would not have the type of meaning. It would not hold the type of value, but he's a player of value, and you understood that he's an iron man. He's like on that. Yeah, I get all of that. And by the way, Jonas has a great conspiracy theory about Cal Ripken Jr. that I think you should tell. Yeah.

Chapter 8: What are the main criticisms regarding athlete's statues and their representations?
There was some speculation that in order to keep Cal Ripken's consecutive start streak going, that they might have had to do some things. Maybe there would be, hey, the ground was too wet or the lights went out in a stadium or something like that. There's been all sorts of stuff because he played so many games in a row.
One of the stories and one of the rumors that was out there that has been shot down by people surrounding the story is that kevin costner and cal ripken became friends because kevin costner was doing that movie was it for love of the game or something like that and he was working with cal ripken to you know to learn the process of being a major league baseball player cal ripken
Went to the stadium. Okay. And then realized, you know, he had forgotten something. Went back to his house.
Oh, no.
Got back to the house. Oh, no. Ruben. That. Ruben. Had Kevin Costner. It is still a hippo. Ruben, you want to go scuba? Like Kevin Costner and Mrs. Ripken might have been in the middle of something. Oh, no. I don't know what that something is. But again, this is... It was conversation.
So how it ties into Fox Sports Radio is that the story was being told, the rumor was being told, Kevin Costner was listening to Fox Sports Radio. How cool was that? Called in. It was like a Saturday. He's driving around on a Saturday. And he called in to dismiss the rumors, call it a bunch of BS, et cetera, et cetera. And so that's why the story applies to Fox Sports Radio.
He is a good looking man. I mean... Look, Cal Ripken's a good-looking man, too. He's an impressive dude, man. I don't know if he's as good-looking as Kevin Costner, though. I personally believe. I do not believe the story. I'd also like to say this about Kevin Costner. He is in a bunch of movies that I love. JFK, Field of Dreams, Bull Durham, Tin Cup, probably the greatest golf movie of all time.
Kevin Costner's got a damn good resume. Film-wise, another. And he's an 805 guy. I think he lived up in Carpinteria for a while. It is an absurdity to put a player in For a short amount of time, and listen, I would give NQ a hard time. It is absurd to put somebody in to keep a streak alive.
If you're not going to play him, then you should have at least played him the regular amount of minutes he would have played or something abbreviated. And pulling him out like don't make it don't make it so obvious like you got guys like Saquon Barkley who chose to sit out entirely for the sake of the team and for the sake of what they were trying to accomplish as a team. I personally think that.
