We Need A Fourth

SmartLess Media

SmartLess Media presents: We Need a Fourth! 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.

He breaks down the US Open week that changed everything — including a weather delay on Sunday that mirrored a movie he watched on a red-eye flight to London months earlier.
