I blew the lead at the Masters because Blakes don't win anything

I decided to blow the lead at the Masters because Blakes don't win anything. Right? Yep. So I figured that that was my way in, unfortunately, a couple weeks before I won [the PGA], but yeah, I figured that was... Blakes haven't won anything.

Koepka famously held a lead at the 2023 Masters before losing to Jon Rahm, though his reason for doing so is obviously satirical.

The AWLs' dominance of the podcast industry might actually be a bad thing

Are the [AWLs] bad for podcast listeners? It might be. So there are 28, I believe, Awards we're giving out tonight.

Subjective commentary on the show's own fanbase dominance.

We will host the 10th annual Takie Awards as a live show in Las Vegas

10 Takie. We gotta... do a live show. 10th Takie Vegas. What if we did a live show in Vegas? Sold it out. Took that money, put it on red. That would be fun responsibly.

The 2025 Takie Awards aired as a regular podcast episode, not as a live show in Las Vegas. Internal show event.

It is fair to laugh at the President when they fall because walking is a basic human skill

Walking is one of the first things we learned to do. Someone's like, would you make fun of your grandmother if she fell? I was like, well my grandmother's dead and she's not the president. You kind of sign up to get made fun of by becoming president when you fall.

This is an inherently subjective opinion about humor and public figures.

I am likely the only professional golfer who doesn't use a yardage book

I think I'm probably the only, to my knowledge, the only tour player that doesn't. I just found myself, I would look at, I'd look up from like 150 yards and look down in the book and I'm like, this pin looks like it's in the bunker... and it just like gave me all these thoughts. Who cares? Just make it more reactive.

Brooks is confirming his own practice, which is a verified fact of his game.

If I win the Open Championship this weekend, I will officially take the Blake of the Year title from Blake Griffin

I'm not dead. I've never wanted to win a golf tournament so bad. [The deal is] if I win the Open Championship this weekend, I officially get [Blake Griffin's] Blake of the Year title this year. Verbatim. That's what it'll be.

Brooks Koepka did not win the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush. He missed the cut after Round 2. Scottie Scheffler won the tournament at -17, four shots clear of the field.

Playing golf in shorts is at least a two-stroke advantage per round

It's so much nicer [to wear shorts]... I'd say at least two [strokes]. Really. Yeah.

While logically comfort improves performance, there is no scientific data to quantify that wearing shorts specifically saves exactly two strokes.
