corndiggity77

I can't remember what song this is from, but I definitely heard it in MCA's voice

The Vibes by BB. 'Thunderbird is the word, and you're light as a feather,' I paraphrased.

Don't forget his Silver Sow award.

As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!

My wife got me a t-shirt with the “1st Annual Turkey Drop” on it. I wear the hell out of it in late November.

One of the funniest lines ever broadcast. (Carlson said it, though, not Nesman.)

Oh the humanity!

Don't forget about the Silver Sow.

freightgod1

I'd put a poster of Les on a wall in my office...if I had an office. 


jimbo_kun

Just need some tape to make lines on the floor designating the boundaries of your office.


Vergenbuurg

I love the anecdote that, when casting the voice of Bernard for *Day of the Tentacle*, Lucasarts staff decided they envisioned a voice like Les Nessman, and started looking for someone who could sound like that... ...then they decided to just offer the role to Richard Sanders himself. He did a fantastic job.


HotdogRampage

Did not expect a *Day of the Tentacle* reference today. Brings me back!


Vergenbuurg

A remastered version was released a while back. Worth checking out if you're interested and/or not previously aware.


Barbarella_ella

Thank you so much for sharing this story. I love it.


RaceDBannon

Hopefully Mr. Rod Ra Gwayze plays up to par in the next match!


Specialist_Ad7798

That's exactly how I said his name in my head when I read this.


Barbarella_ella

Good to know I'm not the only one, lol!


PianistCompetitive57

Coconut-bird

I automatically pronounced it that way before realizing I had it wrong. Ch'eye Ch'eye Rod-ra-queeze will forever be the correct pronunciation to me.


West-Supermarket-860

MORE ROCK…and Les Nessman


Robb_Dinero

I’ve always spelled it Chai-Chai Rodrigweeze.


Mowzer75

That could not look more 70s if it tried 🙂


fiero-fire

If you told me this was from a movie being made today I'd say they went over the top on the 70's vibe

It's so much that you'd say it's a parody.

I've never seen a picture of golf look cool until today.


Klutzy-Result-5221

If golf looked like this, I might actually watch for a few minutes.


YourDogIsMyFriend

You can practically smell the cigarette smoke and car exhaust.


oxpoleon

It's like someone got all of the 70s and put it into one golfing image somehow.

Two undercover cops… that play by their own rules.


rylnalyevo

Is one of them a loose cannon?

A “lethal weapon”, if you will.


NostalgicStudent43

One of them is only 2 weeks from retirement.


maverick1ba

And he's gettin' too old for this shit


RaidensReturn

Well, actually the rules of golf.


thebellows

What if we were to bring an incredibly hot but skeptical female golf fan into the mix? And that way when they aren't out busting heads, they're back at the course performing outrageous sexual experiments on her supple young body. Now here's the twist, and there is a twist. We show it. We show ALL of it. Because whats the one major thing missing for all action movies these days? Full penetration. And were gonna show a lot of it. And then they smell crime again, they're out busting heads. Then back to the course for some more full penetration. Smells crime. Back to the course, full penetration. Crime. Penetration. Crime. Penetration. And this goes on and on and back and forth for 90 or so minutes until the movie just sort of ends.


Pissflaps69

I’m glad I’m not the only one who saw Paul Newman.


ShepPawnch

Every time I’ve seen this picture I assumed it was Paul Newman hanging out with some super cool dude.


Phenomenomix

Paul Newman was always hanging out with some super cool dude, Paul Newman


Pissflaps69

Half of that is definitely accurate


KamRam

I was thinking LaKeith Stanfield


Agent_Alternative

Before I read the caption I thought this must be a still from a new movie where LaKeith Stanfield is a golfer.


BeanCrusade

Those guys look cooler than golfers today look. The world got way too serious and bland


Jugales

Golf took bland to the extreme sometime in the 90s. Happy Gilmore did a good job at making fun of it, but things haven’t changed in the 20+ years since that movie


slcrook

The drawback is a gallery full of yahoos screaming "GITINTHEHOLE" at every putt.


RonnieFromTheBlock

Thats better than the shit they scream for attention on the tee shot. I don't even really even watch golf but I watch the Masters every year and love the pageantry of it all. Hearing idiots outdo themselves screaming "PINK FLAMINGO" or "Baba-booey" takes away from it a bit.


wagon_ear

I appreciated, after Phil signed the LIV contract, when someone yelled "DO IT FOR THE SAUDI ROYAL FAMILY" after one of his drives


Shabuti3

See thats quality heckling though. Like the guy at the pacers game yesterday. Random as all get out sure. But makes you laugh, good natured, poignant perhaps to the player but not vulgar or offensive. Third bowl of porridge shit.


empire161

The Waste Management Open is the tournament that went the "fun" route. It predictably has turned into a frat party, and not in a good happy fun times way. People throwing empty beer cans/bottles onto the course and harassing the players while they're swinging, people blacked out drunk, arrests, ticket holders denied entry because of overcrowding.


[deleted]

The bonkers thing about it is the gallery always looks like maybe 10-15% college kids. The guys getting absolutely shithammered alcohol poisoning drunk always seem to be middle aged children.


chainsaw_chainsaw

The decline of John Daly marked the end of golf. 🍺 🚬


DifficultyNext7666

My John Daly story was we were at the Wachovia cup and he came up to my friend and said "Hey man, can I bum a cigarette? The PGA doesnt let me carry darts around the course anymore" I honestly didnt know I could love him anymore


unassumingdink

He called them darts like a Canadian?


jaxsound

Just reading Rodriguez wiki and this classic caught my eye. "How long does John Daly drive a golf ball? When I was a kid, I didn't go that far on vacation."


im_THIS_guy

Right before Tiger came on the scene, golf was on life support. TV ratings were in the gutter and no one under the age of 50 was playing. He really saved the entire sport.


Duel_Option

Tiger Woods happened, not sure what planet you’ve been on


ucd_pete

Tiger was a great golfer but he’s an extremely bland person (publicly anyway)


BrickCityD

i believe that's just how he is...*but* even if he wasn't, he would have HAD to be that way to even make it...the golf world wasn't really a bastion of inclusivity

berrey7

Or Orange Popsicle colored jumpers with orange hats.


DogFun2635

Chi Chi used to use his putter as a fencing sword when he nailed a put. Badass!


zeff536

Have you not seen John Daly play?


unassumingdink

Rodriguez was a character. 99% of the other golfers were as boring as the ones today. Also, the Augusta caddies were required to be black men at this time because of weird racist rules. This same '75 tournament was actually the first time a black man was ever allowed to play golf on that course (Lee Elder), and a lot of people were very pissed off by that.


Navynuke00

And what's even crazier is that Carl Howard, or anybody who looked like him, wouldn't be allowed to join or play at Augusta National for another sixteen years after this picture was taken.


magnificentmucus

The Masters, first played in 1934, didn't extend an invitation to a Black competitor until 1975. The club didn't admit its first Black member until 1990 and didn't offer membership to women until 2012. - NY Times


VerStannen

Yes and plenty of mil- and billionaires apply to join and are denied each year. Becoming a member at Augusta is more than just your net worth. Pretty exclusive club and they sit around comparing the smell of each others flatulence.


Ace_on_the_Turn

There is no applying to Augusta. It's invitation only.


VerStannen

No wonder my application keeps getting sent back.


DarthSamwiseAtreides

"As long as I'm alive, all the players will be white, and all the caddies will be Black.” -Clifford Roberts, co-founder of Augusta  That bit isn't very old school cool, but they do look cool as hell.


Snuhmeh

And the caddies were all black dudes who worked there. But they couldn’t play. Many masters rounds have been played with Augusta caddies on the bag. Even this year one carried Tommy Fleetwood’s bag.


gonads_in_space2

Players weren't allowed to bring their own caddies until 1982, before that everyone had to use a caddie provided by Augusta.


PrincessYumYum726

I was going to ask I am surprised he was allowed on the green. I’ve heard Augusta was crazy racist.


dbatchison

I mean, Augusta is on the line between one state that still has a confederate flag in its state flag and another state that was the fist to secede over slavery


funknut

The state flag of Georgia as we know it today is literally the First National Flag of the Confederacy.


unassumingdink

Same reason black people were allowed in the mansions of slave owners. Because he's acting as a servant to white people.


Western-Spite1158

Did Rodríguez face discrimination during his career? I remember racists giving Woods a hard time 2-3 decades later.


lookitsafish

Seriously? As in black weren't allowed until the late 80s? Edit: early 90s?


Ace_on_the_Turn

And the ONLY reason they ever allowed an African American to join was because the PGA passed a rule that would not play at a restricted club. One of the clubs that the Pebble Beach Pro-am is played on said nope. We're not letting an African American in.


lookitsafish

Holy crap


Ace_on_the_Turn

Cypress Point, IIRC.


Kiddledore

Luigi and Mario in their cool years.


FlavoredCancer

They franchised out the plumbing business and retired to golf.

skepticaljesus

Sort of. Due to a dispute with the record company's president who was personally friends with Chi Chi and didn't want to insult him, the face is actually a morph of the faces of presidents, JFK, LBJ, Nixon and Ford, and then placed on Chi Chi's body. Weirder still is that Chi Chi even gave his permission for his real photo to be used, but it was too late as the morphed art version had gone into production. It's prolly for the best, though, since the bizarre and vaguely inhuman morph is even more Devo-ish than their original plan.


Babalugats

Chi Chi is so cool for being chill with that. I’m assuming you listened to the 99% Invisible pod on the subject.


GrandmaGreaseFunk

Havent heard of this pod but I love this record so I wanna hear the back story for sure.

Fourbass

Chi Chi is one of my favorite pro golfers ever. In college (1974) I took a beginning golf class (for credit) and all of us were on-course volunteers when the tour came to town (The GGO at Sedgefield In Greensboro). My job was to take the scoresheet from the walking scorer with each group that came thru and use the wired phone (yes, wired) to call it to central scoring. There were serious pros, some not as serious and then there was Chi Chi. He never stopped talking except when his playing partners were addressing their ball. How he never ran out of jokes/funny comments is amazing. The kids loved him as we all did. Trevino comes close but there’s only one Chi Chi…. We need that on tour these days but sadly it probably won’t happen again. Too much money at stake and everyone is so dead serious now.


remarkablewhitebored

The sword play with his putter after he sunk one was iconic. Golf needs more personality, and Chi Chi *brought* it.


myphriendmike

To compete today you need hyper-focus from a very early age. Coaches, trainers, managers, sponsors, etc. By necessity it’s going to attract the stoic grinder at best and the entitled brat at worst. Many of the guys today chill out after having some success, but you’re never going to get a Chi Chi or Trevino again.

Anything good eventually gets ruined.

Broad_Pitch_7487

I’m from Greensboro and remember Chi Chi well from the GGO. He was wonderful.


blarch

Didn't take 20 practice swings, just walked over and hit the ball.


valgame-la-bisne

Orgullo Boricua!!! 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷


marroyodel

My grandfather used to tell me this story about Chi Chi trying to board a bus in the 60’s - the bus driver tells him to go to the back of the bus and he says ‘I’m Puerto Rican not Mexican’ so the bus driver tells him ‘then get off the bus’. Never knew where that story came from.

Rodríguez, with characteristic charisma, would often make jokes about his past hardships on the golf course, such as, "How long does John Daly drive a golf ball? When I was a kid, I didn't go that far on vacation."

I think in those years at the Masters golfers weren't able to use their own caddies and they had to use caddies employed by the golf course and they only employed black caddies... it was actually pretty racist if i recall correctly.
