Riggle reflects on joining the Marines at just 19, how the experience reshaped his confidence, and how he managed to find comedy even there—along with the real difference between physical and moral courage. From there, the conversation pivots into sharp, often funny debates on capitalism vs. communism, the realities of marriage and divorce, and why love still matters even when the odds are stacked against it—before veering, naturally, into golf, where Riggle (dating a pro) breaks down the rules of the game and proves that even in a sport built on honor, there’s always a little Riggle room. And somewhere in the middle of it all, they land on a blunt truth: the people with the most power aren’t always the smartest in the room—just the ones who figured out what they can get away with… which, depending on the week, is either comforting or deeply alarming.
