This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. When a group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist, they take matters into their own hands. I vowed I will be his last target. He is not going to get away with this. He's going to get what he deserves. We always say that. Trust your girlfriends. Trust your girlfriends.

Join me, Lily Herman, as we dive into the underexplored pockets of F1, including the astrology of the current grid, the story of the sport's most consequential driver's strike, and plenty of other mishaps, scandals, and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent, dumpster fire for more than 75 years.

Chapter 2: What does Colin Cowherd say about Rory's journey in golf?

372.751 - 382.287 Colin Cowherd

He's great for the sport. He's magnificent for the Masters, which had some challenges. The network covering it on 18, but here was Rory after.

0

383.549 - 403.887 Rory McIlroy

It's hard. It's hard to win golf tournaments. Especially around here. You've had maybe a couple of runaway winners over the years, but it always seems to be a very tight finish at this golf course. So I think it's the nature of the golf course. It's the nature of what's at stake.

0

404.963 - 437.248 Colin Cowherd

But I really wonder, had he not won last year where he had to go to a playoff hole, would he have all those great recovery shots yesterday? I don't know. Rory, Tiger, Nick Faldo, Jack Nicklaus, back-to-back Masters champions. And he is absolutely great for the sport. All right, not counting play-in games, the notable NBA playoff matchups are set. Been a rough year for the NBA. I know, it has.

0

437.718 - 457.521 Colin Cowherd

Too many three-point shots, stars missing games, an embarrassing tanking epidemic. Do they love the game or their legacies? I'm not sure. In my life, as we head into the playoffs, I've said this a couple weeks ago, there's always, I think, really only three teams that can win a championship. Celtics and OKC are the easy ones. Who's the third team?

0

457.581 - 480.914 Colin Cowherd

San Antonio would be historically young, but they've got a transformational player. I like Denver. But they've been banged up all year. Jokic has never been and missed this many games. Minnesota's talented. Why are they a sixth seed? And the Knicks are a fun story. And it's always cool when you have a big, popular New York team in the playoffs in any sport. But let's be honest. No bench.

480.995 - 507.32 Colin Cowherd

Can't defend the three. Two best players are defensive liabilities. Every single champion the last 30 years has been a top three seed. So, yeah, I know you want the underdogs to win, but it's probably going to be Boston or Oklahoma City. My question is, do I like Denver or do I like San Antonio? Jokic is the best player. Aaron Gordon, however, has missed half the year.

508.221 - 533.149 Colin Cowherd

Murray's been healthy, but Jokic hasn't always been healthy. I think the one thing I like about Denver is there's one player in this league that can attack Wemby, go right at him and succeed. And that is Jokic. So if I had to say, is there a fourth team or maybe this is the third team, it would be Denver and not San Antonio. San Antonio is historically way too young to win a championship.

533.585 - 558.76 Colin Cowherd

These two teams, Denver and San Antonio, met a couple Saturdays ago. It was a fantastic game. It went to overtime. And if you'll watch the game, a couple of things were clear. Jokic is not intimidated by Wemby. And between Murray and Jokic and Gordon and their age, they're going to be a really tough out for either the Thunder or the Spurs.

559.041 - 562.866 Colin Cowherd

And Chris Broussard and I, after watching that game, felt the same way.

Chapter 3: What are the highlights from Colin's 'Where Colin Was Right, Where Colin Was Wrong' segment?

644.229 - 672.406 Colin Cowherd

If I had to pick a fourth, it would be Denver. A lot of stuff going on. The Masters, golf purists are a lot like Soccer snobs. You know how soccer fans are. Soccer snobs. Well, we watch the Spanish League regularly and the Euro Championships. All right, Ethan, you knock yourself out. I show up for the World Cup. Golf guy can be a little like that.

0

672.647 - 697.263 Colin Cowherd

Well, I've got a four handicap, and I watched the Valero Open twice. Well, I have a social life. Congratulations. But I will say the pushback on Rory McIlroy is really interesting to me. So one of the pushbacks on him is, and I've said this my entire career, I don't root for underdogs. I like favorites. I like stars. I've got a life. You do too. I got a family. I got stuff I'm doing.

0

697.743 - 721.397 Colin Cowherd

I like stuff to suck me in and bring me in. And one of the criticisms of Rory McIlroy is that he didn't want to play in the Texas tournaments. He had no interest. And he's like, you know, I'm going to practice, and other players are eligible to do this. He went to Augusta. flew his golf stream into Augusta, would play a couple practice rounds. He'd fly back, have dinner with the kids.

0

721.978 - 729.769 Colin Cowherd

And apparently that just, golf purists don't like it. And my take, that success begets success.

0

Chapter 4: How does Alan Shipnuck compare Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson?

730.37 - 744.61 Colin Cowherd

I have no problem with that. Here's Rory McIlroy addressing how well he knows this course. He zoned in on this course and decided, I'm not going to waste my time, his words on the Texas stuff.

0

745.687 - 774.006 Rory McIlroy

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 I felt like that was a better use of my time than going to Houston or San Antonio.

0

774.155 - 796.839 Colin Cowherd

Again, I love the authenticity. He's from Northern Ireland. The Texas tournaments don't work for him. And what he did at Augusta, the many practice rounds, others can do it as well. So I think that quote by him will undoubtedly rankle some. I don't get it. I'm not a golf purist. I love the sport. I love watching the majors.

0

796.999 - 822.854 Colin Cowherd

I sat in front of a TV for five and a half straight hours like many of you yesterday. But I think what makes him unique... Is, you know, he, like Tiger, prodigy, rock star, 11-year major drought, and now we're getting into the legendary stage? I mean, it feels like to me we've got a ton of runway left. He's 36. He's in unbelievable shape. I really like the guy.

0

823.755 - 832.528 Colin Cowherd

And I don't know how to explain it other than some people have that sticky quality where I just can't turn the TV off. I just can't wait for the last shot.

Chapter 5: What challenges did Rory face during the Masters tournament?

833.099 - 854.202 Colin Cowherd

Again, on 18, we didn't necessarily see all of his shots, but I loved it. So J-Mac is back from some island far away. We are, you know, a little more than a week from the NFL draft. Great story this morning I read on Fernando Mendoza. Colin right, Colin wrong at about 45 minutes from now. J-Mac, you feeling rested and ready to go? Yeah, I just got a bit of a head cold.

0

854.222 - 857.286 Colin Cowherd

I'll power through it, you know, like the lights come on and I'm ready for action.

0

857.666 - 865.776 Unknown

Can't wait. I was following you on social media, Instagram, no Twitter. But it seems like you had a great week without me, man. Hopefully you weren't getting too used to it.

0

866.016 - 868.439 Colin Cowherd

No, no. John Middlecoff, as always, does a great job.

A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care, so they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves.

Lewis Hamilton, Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon. Wouldn't you know it, Michael Schumacher is also a Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon.

Chapter 6: What insights does Alan Shipnuck provide about Rory's character?

1007.165 - 1027.013 Colin Cowherd

And plenty of other mishaps, scandals, and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years.

Hey, I'm Norah Jones, and I love playing music with people so much that my podcast called Playing Along is back. I sit down with musicians from all musical styles to play songs together in an intimate setting. Every episode's a little different, but it all involves music and conversation with some of my favorite musicians.

0

1044.689 - 1064.977 Colin Cowherd

Over the past two seasons, I've had special guests like Dave Grohl, Leve, Mavis Staples, Remy Wolfe, Jeff Tweedy, really too many to name. And this season, I've sat down with Alessia Cara, Sarah McLachlan, John Legend, and more. Check out my new episode with Josh Groban. You related to the Phantom at that point.

0

1065.177 - 1066.88 Chris Broussard

Yeah, I was definitely the Phantom in that.

0

1066.98 - 1067.921 Colin Cowherd

That's so funny.

1068.221 - 1078.195 Unknown

Share each day with me, each night, each morning. Say you love me.

1081.432 - 1105.178 Colin Cowherd

So come hang out with us in the studio and listen to Playing Along on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2023, former Bachelor star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story. This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth.

1105.293 - 1113.369 Colin Cowherd

You doctored this particular test twice, Ms. Owens, correct? I doctored the test once. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case.

1113.75 - 1119.522 Chris Broussard

I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfectant.

Chapter 7: How does Rory's performance impact his legacy in golf?

1130.217 - 1131.338 Colin Cowherd

This is Love Trap.

Laura, Scottsdale Police. As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences.

Ladies and gentlemen, breaking news out of Maricopa County as Laura Owens has been indicted on fraud charges.

This isn't over until justice is served in Arizona.

1149.843 - 1177.235 Colin Cowherd

Listen to Love Trapped Podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You know, you see it with actors. Some people may be great actors, but there's no aura. You know, Cillian Murphy, somebody that's on the screen, like my eyes are immediately drawn to him. It's just he's got a unique look, a unique intensity. And I feel that you can't fake interesting.

1177.335 - 1195.764 Colin Cowherd

Like Michael Jordan had the persona and the style and the fashion and the coolness. I've always said Michael will always be more beloved than LeBron because he was cooler than LeBron. LeBron. LeBron's great, amazing. Michael was great and amazing and cool. And people say, oh, Jason Tatum's the face of the NBA. And he's like, I'm like, he's not that interesting and he doesn't have an aura.

1196.366 - 1215.641 Colin Cowherd

I'm not saying he's not a great kid. It's just I don't see the aura. And for years and years, I've been told this is the next Tiger and this is the next Tiger. And And I just don't feel it. Rory's the only one that kind of feels like it. So, I mean, Scotty Scheffler's amazing. So is Jordan Spieth. But they've got kind of a Mike Trout feel to them. I respect them. They're amazing.

1215.982 - 1243.266 Colin Cowherd

Purists love them. And there's just, I just don't feel the juice. I'm sorry. I mean, Scotty Scheffler once got arrested at a golf tournament. Three days later, nobody cared. That would be a story around Rory McIlroy seven years later. We'd be referencing it. It just disappeared. Maybe it's because Rory is jacked, or he's wild, or he's emotional, or he's vulnerable, or he lets you back in.

1243.246 - 1265.693 Colin Cowherd

Or like Phil Mickelson, you think he's got the tournament wrapped up and suddenly he trails. I don't know. He can be combative. He's assertive. He's got some leadership qualities. He was on the forefront of the live PGA debate. Good for him. But for years, I've been told this guy is going to be the next guy. And there's just certain golfers. Arnold Palmer had it.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of Rory's recent achievements for his future?

1292.557 - 1304.027 Colin Cowherd

I know I'm not a purist. I don't have a three handicap, but Nick Faldo had a little bit of that. And Rory was asked about the comparisons now winning back to back to Faldo.

0

1305.348 - 1333.169 Rory McIlroy

Today I tie Nick. So yeah, there's, there's obviously going to be that conversation and that debate is going to be hard, but it's a cool conversation to be a part of. So yeah, But again, it took me 10 years to win my fifth major, and then my sixth one's come pretty soon after it. So yeah, I'm not putting a number on it, but I certainly don't want to stop here.

0

1333.851 - 1352.6 Colin Cowherd

Yeah, I've said for years, if you care, I care. And Scotty Sheffer at one point won a golf major and said, you know, it's not the most important thing to me. When Rory's on a golf course, it feels like the most important thing for him. He's screaming and yelling, and that matters. He lets you in. You see the highs and lows.

0

1352.62 - 1374.274 Colin Cowherd

Anybody who's ever golfed, I don't care if you're a scratch golfer, has had money on the line, had dinner on the line, and just hit his worst shot at the worst time. That's Rory. And to be this dominant and have the occasional bad shots and miss birdie putts and have a lead and blow it. And then he can be majestic for a seven, eight, nine hole stretch.

0

1374.694 - 1394.322 Colin Cowherd

You just get a little bit of everything with Rory McIlroy. And I think it's fascinating. Not that many golfers. I mean, I've been watching the Masters like all of you forever. And I love the U.S. Open, especially on certain courses like Pebble Beach. Always loved the British golf. But, I mean, look, there's a great example of Rory McIlroy, arms in the air.

1394.342 - 1400.59 Colin Cowherd

You can just know how much it means to him and his family. If you care, I care.

1400.99 - 1405.576 Chris Broussard

Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays at noon Eastern, 9 a.m. Pacific.

1408.58 - 1431.592 Colin Cowherd
