We are joined this week by PGA winning golfer Andrew Novak who lodged his first PGA win and is gearing up for the US Open next weekend in Pennsylvania! He is filling in for Ro this week and immediately jumped into his 2nd place finish at the Heritage (and what happened on the putt that lost him the playoff with Justin Thomas) and a bit about his new podcast, Screenplay, which is all NFL. ESPN's Power Index opened with Miami at #9, and a 30% chance to win the ACC - and while Toast feels it's a low number, Scoop thinks it's really high because Miami has never done it. That spins us into a conversation about how much we'll see the offense change this season compared to last year. And everyone has concerns about the wide receiver room except for Novak, and Scoop is buying in on Beck being "all football" this year. Novak also talks about the reality that he'll be playing in the Open Championship in Ireland this year, and what it will take for him to make the Masters in 2026. Plus we round it out with Five Questions with Andrew Novak, including who we would turn to for help, the best celebration in sports, stuff we drag our wives to, whether it's harder to get an MLB hit or score an NHL goal, and what people should be fined for in society. 00:00 Welcome to the Mario Era Chapter 174 00:40 Introducing PGA Tour Winner Andrew Novak 01:05 Golf Talk: Misreads and Misses 02:34 Golf in Italy and European Tours 03:35 Promoting the Screenplay Podcast 04:38 College Football Rivalries 07:20 Preseason Projections and Miami's Chances 08:54 Offensive and Defensive Expectations 29:03 Recruiting and Future Prospects 36:02 Sponsorships and Promotions 43:55 Excitement for the Upcoming Tournament 44:30 Qualifying for the Majors 45:06 Understanding the Masters Qualification 50:08 Hypothetical Golf Scenarios 51:42 Five Questions Segment 52:03 Escaped Inmate Reaches Out for Help 56:05 High School Athlete's Celebration Controversy 01:03:23 Support from Significant Others 01:07:50 Internet Debate: Baseball vs. Hockey 01:11:02 Fines for Airplane Etiquette 01:16:40 Gambling and Golf 01:25:50 Concluding Remarks and Best Wishes This episode is presented by Paul Bange Roofing,the Miami Hurricane Team Store, BeatinTheBookie.com & Manscaped.
