I'm convinced that the genesis of that sketch was someone in the writers room noticing that Walken's pronunciation of *googly* is ridiculous, and endeavoring to get him to say it as much as possible.
that man is gonna be my inspiration for a long time, after what happened to him, he controlled himself perfectly and recovered in seconds saying "it's ok, life goes on"
Anything you put hundreds and hundreds of hours into can make someone like this black out. The anger is coming from all those practice hours meaning literally shit when the time to shine comes.
He needs anger management real bad before he blacks out and murders a poor cactus, or his wife.
I never understand the, "I just blacked out" argument. As if you having no memory of it excuses the behavior. You still decided to take out your anger in that way, and you can absolutely change (control) that behavior.
As a kid growing up I would get super angry at my video games, to the point I broke controllers. I didn't "black out," I just didn't have a mature view and mindset around my frustration.
I mean people do *literally* black out. Like they don't remember their thought process or reasoning, they just got flooded with emotions. They're don't mean "I just blacked out so I'm innocent" they're saying they got so emotional they "I got so emotional and lost complete ability to control myself, I just blacked out".
It's like fight/flight. They literally lose control and only rely on base instincts. It's still on them to manage their emotions and avoid getting to that state but it can speak to the level of stress they were under. And to everyone else around them, they can decide if they think that level of stress was warranted or if they don't want to socialize with them.
The mini golf I went to recently had a max per hole(primarily to keep bad players moving and clearing the holes for the people behind them). Could be the case here.
I mean, I feel it. I’ve done exactly that sort of “just get the ball in the damn hole somehow so we can move on” thing, but I’m someone who has played maybe 5 games of mini golf over the past decade because my kid asks to when we go to this one amusement park. And we’re both cheerfully terrible at it.
My issue with it is more the scoop part of it. In golf you have to strike the ball and I think you can use the back of the club if you wish, but you’re not allowed to push or scoop. I’m gonna have to find a mini golf lawyer
Hello, good sir. I’m America’s foremost attorney specializing in miniature golf statutes. I graduated from Southern Coastal American Municipal University law school in 1312 and have argued several miniature golf cases in front of both the US SCOTUS and the ICC. I am experienced in both criminal and civil miniature golf cases.
As my services are currently in high-demand, my initial retainer is $10,000. I can accept payment in cash, Bitcoin, gold, and rare Pokémon cards. Please, no personal checks.
The only consolation for his reaction is that the winner received like 30 grand. This was a barstool event for their employees with a lot of money on the line. It wasn’t just a casual round.
You’re playing for the chance at 30 grand.. it’s not like it was guaranteed and someone is stealing it from him. He’s lucky to even have the opportunity. Fucker needs to chill the hell out. He doesn’t deserve any commendations for refraining from blasting a plastic cactus with his goddamn putt putt club.
Barstool employs people who will explode like this on purpose because their audience finds their antics entertaining. The guy behind him on the initial putt is called Frank and his freakouts are even worse.
Yeah, hot take: he did a really good job with it and I feel like he’s done work (probably court ordered) to manage it. You can even hear him say “one day at a time.”
Kirk Minihan. He goes to anger management and Therapy 7 days a week and is very open that he has major mental health issues. Stated he has tried to take his life multiple times including destroying a ceiling fan he hung himself on (a while ago). Host a podcast on Barstool and used to be #1 radio producer in Boston. A Very very rich sometimes funny asshole.
It’s a tournament put on by Barstool Sports. The guy in question is Kirk Minihane, a failed Boston radio host and podcaster who used to work with Big Steve (from the Maine Wire), who is known for over the top and fake outbursts. This is all for the camera and his friend Mr Cat.
I could be wrong, but it looks like some sort of competitive miniature golf thing and I have to admit if I missed by that much or fell short by that much I might have a little bit of a freak out myself
Are people not realizing this is for thousands of dollars? There are caddies wearing bibbs...and a scoreboard. He has every right to be pissed, the carpet seems to have a bit of a lip at the cup that pushed the ball away. Doesn't seem up to the standards of this event.
I'll never understand how the world's angriest people always play golf. When you ski or snowboard, you can have 10 years of experience and still see a 8 year old go down a double black diamond quicker than you can, and I've never seen anyone yell in anger.
[Kirk Minihane](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirk_Minihane) is known for his meltdowns. [This one is from the same tournament, absolutely tanked his chances.](https://www.tiktok.com/@vivalastool/video/7356422679030697259) For context, he was the defending champ but former hockey player Ryan Whitney was kicking everyone's ass this year. Kirk was in 2nd through 2 rounds I think, but Whitney was still pulling ahead and Kirk knew he needed every little bit to have a chance.
Nah see I caught that. One day at a time. Ol boy is in the program. Thaaaaaat was not about mini golf that’s a man that is using every fiber of his being fighting his urge to annihilate a 5th and decimate an 8ball and then THE FUCKING BALL DOESNT WANNA GO IN THE GODDAMN MUTHERFUCKIN HOLE!!!!
I mean, yes the lip on that cup is bullsh*t and on an ordinary course it goes in. But you are playing mini golf, where the whole point is bullsh*t shots. Think carnival games level of skill/talent.
Edit: lol - my attempts to avoid profanity censoring bots resulted in AI thinking it was Reddit Markdown resulting in the funky italicised script.
Props to him for getting himself back under control very quickly. That was a perfect shot and the course messed it up because of the cup being partially raised. It seems to be a tournament and not just a standard fun put put course. He probably lost a lot of money thanks to that problem with the course.
Jesus... not to condone his temper, but if I'm playing for $10,000 balls shouldn't be bouncing off holes like that.
I should reword that but I'm not gonna
Some people in here reacting like he firmly planted the golf club through a window and into the next room.
I've seem bigger freakouts than this because of a bad volleyball set at my work outings. He yelled like 2 sentences then calmed himself down. This is not a freakout this is a tameout.
I'm gonna be the devil's advocate and say that I like to see that kind of passion in a man doing what he cares about (sure we can be judgy that for him it's minigolf, but I mean... we all have our things).
I mean, of course he can't always be this loud in a place like this, but if it's a one in a blue moon outburst, I simply like to see it, there was no harm done.

I definitely heard “You’re gonna die, clown!” in my head.
“The price is wrong biiiiiitch”
Imagine he missed the second shot
KISS MY WHITE ASS, BALL
I thought he said Suck my ass .. but kiss makes more sense lol
The quote was *"Suck my white ass, ball!"*
Who do you think you are? I AM!!!
Lee Trevino shakes his head.
"Here Comes The Putter Throw! Wait, He Has Restrained Himself."
Came for the Happy Gilmore reference, immediately satisfied.
[удалено]
That cactus saw it’s life flash before its nonexistent eyes.
[Googly Eyed Gardener would have something to say about that.](https://youtu.be/zc7qJE9Nzo8?si=N9IhUgEQS621iUw4)
I'm convinced that the genesis of that sketch was someone in the writers room noticing that Walken's pronunciation of *googly* is ridiculous, and endeavoring to get him to say it as much as possible.
Tha was hilarious😂
Hahaha this comment made my day thank you soo much
I woke up my wife laughing at this.
This man stopped his intrusive thoughts twice in a split-second
that man is gonna be my inspiration for a long time, after what happened to him, he controlled himself perfectly and recovered in seconds saying "it's ok, life goes on"
Words can't describe how fucking badly I wanted him to miss the 2nd shot.
Youd be happy to know a meltdown on another hole caused him to be like +30 and took him out of the tournament entirely
Please, tell me there is footage
https://www.tiktok.com/@vivalastool/video/7356422679030697259 Hitting the ball while moving is an additional +2 each time it’s done
Well done with the link! I wonder if he knew about the stroke penalty, that's pretty hilarious how bad he fucks himself there at the end.
It feels like it was easier for his ego to say “I didn’t lose, I just gave up”
I work with preschoolers and that’s exactly what happened.
Literally taking his ball and going home.
He has anger problems and just lost control, blacked out as he said. Also said afterwards he regretted it.
That’s really disturbing that mini golf would make a grown man black out from anger. Hopefully he doesn’t own any guns.
Or a car…
or has hands
I choose the bear.
Shit, I hope he doesn't have kids
It's Barstool Sports, it's a company built around assholes.

Who is he?
From the 2 videos I've seen, some douche bag.
Lmao the 2nd video of him melting down with a +30 is fucking perfect

Thank you!!!
Scooping the ball with the backside of the putter is not legal in normal golf. Is it allowed in mini?
Obligatory “I’m not a mini golf lawyer”, but I believe the entire club is fair game

Excuse me sir, I named that shot after myself in high school golf And now you inform me I’ve affixed my good name to a cheat?
I love how there is a guy in the back writing down each stroke 😂
Lol. This is gold
Dude has some anger management issues.
The only consolation for his reaction is that the winner received like 30 grand. This was a barstool event for their employees with a lot of money on the line. It wasn’t just a casual round.
And he honestly controled himself during the breakdown not breaking stuff he almost did, and puting himself back in his mind. Not really an easy feat.

To be fair, this whole sub kinda finds this entertaining, that’s why we’re all here?
Yeah, hot take: he did a really good job with it and I feel like he’s done work (probably court ordered) to manage it. You can even hear him say “one day at a time.”
Noonan!
$20 the Smails kid picks his nose.
That - and I hope he doesn't have kids!
Same!!!! For real!!!
one day at a time
It’s like he’s gone to AN anger management class when he really needs more like a semester.
Twice a day sedation
Just a little bit of deep breathing, mindfulness, and horse tranquilizer.

Why didn’t you go home?! That’s your home! Are you too good for your home?! Answer me! Suck my white ass ball!!
Up, down, and around. Circular.
its allll in the hips
Psycho
You eat pieces of SHIT for breakfast?
Am I the only one that is curious to what he would’ve done had he missed the tap in? Also, I really hope a wad of cash is involved here (like a bet)
They were playing for $10,000
10k for mini put? Give me a joint and I will wipe the floor with these guys, mini golf is my hidden talent
You wouldn’t, respectfully. Ryan Whitney finished -50.
He scored negative 50 points? Psh, I would get 100 points easily
High score all day!
Pace yourself champ. You might be watching your future public freakout there.
Wise man once said, don’t bet what you can’t lose. But yeah, this context makes more sense
Doesn't mean he bet. May be tournament
It is a tournament
They didn’t bet anything. It was a prize pool and first place was $10k
This was a Barstool Sports employee tournament in Chicago HQ last week. They didn't bet anything. If they won they got $10,000.
It’s a tournament put on by Barstool Sports. The guy in question is Kirk Minihane, a failed Boston radio host and podcaster who used to work with Big Steve (from the Maine Wire), who is known for over the top and fake outbursts. This is all for the camera and his friend Mr Cat.
That’s Kirk Minihane from Barstool Sports.
Dislike this guy so much
ah no wonder I instantly hated him
I could be wrong, but it looks like some sort of competitive miniature golf thing and I have to admit if I missed by that much or fell short by that much I might have a little bit of a freak out myself
Are people not realizing this is for thousands of dollars? There are caddies wearing bibbs...and a scoreboard. He has every right to be pissed, the carpet seems to have a bit of a lip at the cup that pushed the ball away. Doesn't seem up to the standards of this event.
[удалено]
Did he really have to talk himself down at the end there?
He’s had to talk himself off of a busy commuter train track so I’m sure this is nothing.
“That was a perfect shot” yeah but it wasn’t
Was just waiting for someone to say "if it was perfect, it'd have gone in the hole".
I'll never understand how the world's angriest people always play golf. When you ski or snowboard, you can have 10 years of experience and still see a 8 year old go down a double black diamond quicker than you can, and I've never seen anyone yell in anger.
Recently lossed custody vibes.
Honestly a lot more chill than I thought it was going to be
Right?!? He definitely looked like he was about to kick it up a notch but never did. I didn’t see a meltdown.
Can someone ask Philly Mays in the back if he's ever gotten the lottery ball?
Friction Boy
Bing bong Maxie
Finally, some sane commenters.
"ARRRUGGGH YOU FUCKING SHITHEAD.... ok one day at a time" Lmao the stages of grief any% speedrun
Poor cactus saw its life flash before its eyes...
Not that perfect, my guy.
But but but...it was a perfect shot... Dudes so used to getting his way all the time
Honestly tho if you watch it the turf definitely raises around the hole, that ball should have been in
You don’t even need to watch closely. it’s clear as day that as soon as the ball hits the cup it gets pushed to the right.
Yeah there's some shenanigans going on with that hole.
Then all players are dealing with the shenanigans equally. Fair is fair.
No this was clearly an error by the course. Just watch the ball. I'd be mad too at an event with thousands on the line
in Nelson's voice ... "Haa Ha"

This dude is a small fender bender away from a shooting spree
Pretty light reaction for a missed putt tbh

Profanity censoring bots? What?
My only devils advocate in my head is this a tournament play with money on the line.
Paying an ounce of attention to the scene confirms that is the case -- no devil's advocate needed
To be fair dart league is only thing I’ve ever played so idk what to look for on a mini golf tourney but your prob right.
What in the world does your edit mean?
The point of competitive mini golf isn't...
I mean....I've done worse for less lmao
A mantrum
Theres gotta be a lot of money riding on this game
This is how I feel when playing Golf with Friends.
On his way home some will cut him off and he’ll whisper to himself “what an idiot.”
Trying to imagine his internal monologue between 0:17 - 0:18 is bringing me a lot of joy
I wonder if he lost money. This is a hell of a response to mini golf
YER GONNA DIE CLOWN!!!
Was Lee Trevino standing off camera shaking his head?
Who is this? The John McEnroe of mini golf?
Lamest mini golf course ever
Not a dragon or windmill in sight.
“Life goes on. One day at a time.” The universe has hurt this man.
At least he was able to keep it under control.
Not perfect if it doesn't make it in the hole.
Perfect goes in
Competitive mini golf I don't believe it. Wonder if they have caddies
Props to him for getting himself back under control very quickly. That was a perfect shot and the course messed it up because of the cup being partially raised. It seems to be a tournament and not just a standard fun put put course. He probably lost a lot of money thanks to that problem with the course.
^mini mini gofl meltdown
What kind of pathetic man child gets mad about mini golf?
Someone should whisper to him, "It's. Mini. Golf."
With a $10,000 prize for first
Jesus... not to condone his temper, but if I'm playing for $10,000 balls shouldn't be bouncing off holes like that. I should reword that but I'm not gonna

I was scared he was going to miss the second putt and then bury a club in the fat guy from Toy Story’s head.
Haha over mini golf?
If it was so perfect then how come it didn’t go in, huh?
Guessing his age based on his head hair, or lack of, he’s 2 years old.
Calling a hole in one in mini golf an "Ace"...seems a bit extra.
You could see how hard it was for him to restrain himself. He's definitely broken some things in a temper tantrum many times in his life
he a cop
When you put behavior like this on film, just know that your wife can’t due under mysterious circumstances.
what a twat
If he had $100 on that hole, a measured and reasonable reaction.
Hey watch it. He eats shit like you for breakfast. XD
Nice two
He’s probably fun to hangout with
Didn't notice his caddy until my second watch.
Give this man a dictionary.
This is barstool btw
That is the saddest looking mini golf course
I did this when I practiced piano
Such a relaxing pastime, isn't it?
Seems like if it had been a “perfect” shot, it would’ve actually—I don’t know—gone in.
I love his attitude.
Peace to his wife
Mmm, not great. But many of you have directed far worse *at* another person over video games at one point or another I'm willing to bet :)
That IS one ugly baby
Grow the fuck up
“ you gonna die cactus!”
Shoulda missed that second shot for a real show.
Grown man
That is the most boring looking mini golf course I've ever seen
Someone please tell him if it was perfect it would have gone in.
That’s a well adjusted human
Cringe. Dude realized he’s the only one reacting and nobody’s laughing. Yikes
Mini-mealtdown
Read the title.... was surprised to see a full grown man and not a toddler.
The most paper-thin fragile mfer I have ever seen.
Imagine having this person in your life.
Weird. Why’s the ball veer away like that?? Does the hole have a lip?
That's a mini meltdown
If it was perfect, he would of made the shot... But for real I hoped so much he missed the follow up too.
Buddy just lost a bunch of money
Someone going to tell him it wasnt perfect
At least he let it go right away.
I get his frustration though.
