Hosts Kenny Mayne, Brian Baumgartner and Cooper Manning are looking for just one thing: someone to fill out their Saturday morning tee time. Join them each week as they talk to their famous friends who all have one thing in common: their love (and oftentimes hate) for the game of golf. They care less about swing speeds and spin rates, and more about who’s the biggest cheat their guests have ever played with, or what the perfect golf vacation looks like. It’s the podcast version of a round of golf with your buddies - if your buddies were comedians, actors, athletes, musicians, and other celebs.

Matt breaks down his year-long experiment switching to left-handed golf (spoiler: he still putts lefty), why he thinks 13-hole courses are the future, and what Golf Digest's attempted makeover actually helped. Plus: Matt corroborates Brian's story of Tim Simons' intensity on the golf course, Kenny shares the wild story of Vladimir Putin stealing Robert Kraft's Super Bowl ring, and Cooper gets slammed for his shirt selection.","meta_description":"Veep's Matt Walsh — two-time Emmy nominee and co-founder of Upright Citizens Brigade — joins Brian, Cooper, and Kenny to talk golf, Chicago, and the booki…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3156,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/we-need-a-fourth-7481629/episodes/veep-s-matt-walsh-played-golf-left-handed-for-a-full-year-he-never-got-better/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/we-need-a-fourth-7481629/veep-s-matt-walsh-played-golf-left-handed-for-a-full-year-he-never-got-better.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
