Tim Anderson Podcast

It's Kevin Bacon time on the podcast. Lauren, Ryan and I break down the film that revived Kevin Bacon's career. The classic "Tremors" from 1990.  We clearly love Bacon but it's Michael Gross fresh off of "Family Ties" and Freaking Reba McEntire that elicits the most intrigue from the panel.  We go through all the usual categories along with some new ones. This pod might actually be longer than the film itself but who cares it's fun anyways. 

A muscle cramp threw me off my game early. Ty and I discussed my medical predicament and his hectic parenting schedule. We then got into golf course etiquette and architecture. What makes a great venue and should we get free range balls when we play said great venue? We then dive into the Travelers and make our picks. A lot going on so check out the pod.

Ty and I are back for a Sunday night instant reaction to Jon Rahm winning his first major championship. We talk about the convincing fashion in which he did it. We also talk about who faded down the stretch including Bryson's epic meltdown and the continued dry spell for Rory McIlroy

Ty and I took it on the chin in a recent golf round. We relive it and council each other through our golf abyss. We then turn our attention to the US Open at Torrey Pines where we do a deep dive on the favorites and the betting odds that go with them. We decide who has no chance and then make our picks to win. 

It's freaking hot in MInnesota. This week, We watched more women's golf then men's golf  which was good for our souls. We bask in the beauty that was Olympic Club and the swing of Yuka Saso as well as lament Lexi Thompson's collapse. We then dive into the Jon Rahm Covid Kerfuffle as well our feelings on the Brooks/Bryson soap opera. I then needed some couch time to talk with TY about my horrific iron play and what needs to be done. Plus our picks for Congaree. Enjoy.

I'm flying solo so I kept in short. I talked about my disappointment in the final round last week with Jordan Spieth. It made me think of just how great Tiger was and is and how maybe we are too quick to throw the word great around with our current crop. I then talk U.S. Women's Open. I'm super in on that this weekend and gave my picks for The Memorial. Forgive me in advance for veering off course on purpose at the end to say a few words about my crop of Seniors who I have really grown to admire over the last few months. 

Zach joins to talk a smattering of topics from Mick Foley to Women's Softball to Naomi Osaka to Tony La Russa and every where in between. We try to hit on all the major news of the last week or so. We even had some time to work in some baseball card talk and family vacations. It's all on the table so send in your topics for future pods.

Ty and I cram a lot into 50 minutes. We talk unruly crowds at the PGA, Brooks is clearly bothered by the Mad Scientist which creates a conundrum for the Ryder Cup. We also break down this week's stop at Colonial. 

Phil wins the PGA. A monumental victory made me put up the bat signal for Ty. We have major reactions and overreactions to what we just saw. We talk Phil, Brooks, Jordan, Rory and all the guys we are concerned about going forward. We also talk about the golf course and we strike another blow in our revolution against alternative putting grips.

We lost our damn minds with this one. We go back to the bananas action blockbuster Face/Off starring Nic Cage and John Travolta. Ryan couldn't get passed the various criminal acts committed by the so called good guys and Lauren and I couldn't believe how much we enjoyed this. 24 years later, it's totally ridiculous and totally watchable.
