This is a year-in-review recap like no other. CP, Myers and Hennessey call out Rory, Cantlay, Lee Westwood and many others in analyzing their favorite (and least favorite) golf stories from an eventful 2023. You won't want to miss this one.

This week JC talks with professional golfer Michael Block, PGA Professional Player of the year 2022 and top 15 finisher at 2023 PGA at Oak Hill including the amazing hole in one on Sunday with Rory McElroy.

What does it really look like to follow your dreams?   When you do what makes you happy people can see it inside of you and can't help but support you.  Michael Block just recently got a chance to do the dream that he has had his entire life and it became contagious!  He had the support of the nation for one week because they saw themselves in him.  See what happens when you are free of stress and just trying to be the best version of YOU, where it gets you:)

Also we finally get to hear Bob's acting chops and she does not disappoint!  We have a Second Date Update with Ryan and Leanne to find out whether or not they should be together...at least for a second date:)

The "Block Party" which began at Oak Hill took some twists and turns this week before eventually fizzling out earlier than expected. Smylie shares his experience covering Michael Block's group on Thursday, and examines the online discourse surrounding the club pro with Charlie. Smylie and Charlie also discuss what makes a good airport, and the buckeye milkshakes that Tour pros playing the Memorial love so much.

Happy Friday! Ailish and Justin kick off the show by discussing the Blue Jays’ 6-3 loss to the Rays on Thursday, Alek Manoah’s latest poor start, if he would benefit from a stint in Triple-A, the team holding a players’ only meeting after Thursday’s game, and John Schneider’s  decision to pinch hit for Daulton Varsho. Afterwards, they weigh in on the NHLPA reviewing Kyle Dubas’ relationship with his agent Chris Armstrong and the latest reporting on how Maple Leafs staffers are coping with Dubas’ departure. Later, Ailish presents her daily edition of the A-List, featuring some confounding comments from Michael Block (46:02).

I’m not sure if I’ve ever had @officialfunyuns in my life but #shoheiohtani is a fan.  
@yankees & @mets are playing some good baseball.  
No way #lebronjames is retiring.  Props to @nuggets first #nbafinals appearance ever.  #nikolajokić what a series. 
Sorry @celtics but you’re not the 2004 @redsox this year. @flapanthers up 3-0 on @canes in #stanleycupplayoffs 1-0 win yesterday. 
 #carolina has lost 11 straight #conferencefinals games.  
@vegasgoldenknights can go up 3-0 on @dallasstars tonight.  #playoffs this year is the season of the sweep. 
But excited for #nhlstadiumseries next February @metlifestadium @ny_islanders vs @nyrangers @livestrongernyc we are going. 
 #adamdriver honorary starter for @indianapolismotorspeedway #indy500 that is on the bucket list. 
#nfl enough with the flexing of the games.  @amazon paid a fortune for #thursdaynightfootball we get it. 
 #patnarduzzi not happy that #deionsanders came to 1-11 @cubuffsfootball & cleaned house.  There’s a new sheriff in #bouldercolorado & he’s running the show. I would have done the same thing.  Especially with the #transferportal in its current mode.

Winner, winner fried pe- well almost. SportsGuyTy celebrates a 200-1 each way at the PGA Championship who also happens to be a team tip this week. Brooks Koepka at hockey games and the indomitable Michael Block. Tips, picks and best bets for the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial. 

Some amazing life lessons that I found out from a golfer.  These lessons all come down to Self-Awareness & it's one of the best things we can ever work on ourselves for.  It's our life and we get the chance to keep working on ourselves every, single day!!  You don't even have to be a golf fan to learn lessons from this guy.  Michael Block... a great teacher of golf and life lessons.

After a thrilling finish to the PGA Championship that featured Brooks Koepka winning his fifth major and club professional Michael Block finishing tied for 15th after an incredible hole-in-one, Smylie Kaufman and his producer Charlie Hulme recap all the major storylines from the second major of the year. Smylie and Charlie also look ahead to the next PGA TOUR event, the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club.

Congrats @patriots hiring #mayaanacallender as first full-time #female scout in franchise’s 64 year history.  
It’s all about the money in professional sports & #robmanfred so great that I have to search for the @yankees game which had an 11:35am start only on @peacock sure I’ll pay for another streaming service.  Pissing off the fans.  
Congrats #michaelblock in the money @pgachampionship this weekend.  
@nuggets up 3-0 on @lakers hey #lebronjames you now only have to win four in a row.  No respect for @miamiheat even up 2-0 #espnanalytics only gives them 35% chance of beating @celtics in these #nbaplaoffs bologna. 
#matthewtkachuk @flapanthers back to back OT GW goals up 2-0 in #stanleycupplayoffs over @canes 2-1 win last night.
 Go @vegasgoldenknights tonight.  
Not shocking that heading a #soccer ball caused #cte in former #nasl players.
