00:33 Hi, Rene.

00:35 Thank you.

00:42 for inviting me into your home for the last 50 years.

01:15 I can't believe you're a professional golfer.

01:19 You better relax, Bob.

01:21 There is no way that you could have been as bad at hockey

01:24 as you are at golf.

01:26 All right, let's go.

01:27 Oh!

01:29 You like that, old man?

01:34 I want the whole thing.

01:35 Oh!
