Recorded bright and early (6 AM, four hours of sleep, and a house about to be overrun by five-year-olds), Alex, Jason, and Marcus start with a coffee deep dive — Jason breaks down the world of pour-over coffee, from grind size and water temperature to blooming technique and why it beats a Keurig when done right. Alex is intrigued but not fully committed to the process.

From there, the guys dig into the newly announced PGA Tour 2028 playoff structure, breaking down the season-long points race, the shift toward match play in the postseason, and how a bracket-style knockout format (round of 16 down to a final) could finally solve golf's late-season drama problem. They also talk through where LIV Golf stands amid funding uncertainty, star players reportedly negotiating a path back to the PGA and DP World Tour, and what it means for the sport's competitive landscape heading into 2028.

The back half tackles the Good Good / Callaway ad controversy — the backlash over their pulled commercial, the fallout with the PGA Tour and Callaway ending their partnership, and a candid discussion about corporate accountability: should Callaway have stood by their partner instead of cutting ties? Plus family life updates, horse-riding progress, and the ever-expanding world of kid carpools.
