Guy and Rick, a message to the person who talked about his lad with anxiety and serious 1st tee nerves. My, then 11 year old, daughter got me into golf about a year before COVID became trendy. We started at the pitch and putt course with 3 clubs each, and then as we built up more of a set, we decided to try a really short 18 hole course. My daughter also has anxiety. As we approached our tee time, we could see the people behind us also waiting. They were going to see our first ever tee shots. My daughter started crying and said she wanted to go home. I tried to reassure her, saying we'd soon be out of sight. There were four men ahead of us about to tee off, so we stopped talking. Three of them hit balls in the right direction. The fourth toed the ball high and right. It hit a tree about 10 yards to the right of the tee box and bounced high over our heads and landed on the front edge of the car park. Luckily, no one was hit. I said to my daughter, "will you do better than that?" She nodded. She did, and we played 18 holes ... quite badly. Nevertheless, the lesson was that the people watching you have likely hit worse shots than your bad shot, at sometime in their lives. Even if they're good now. We still don't like being watched but at least we play every week and care less about those around us. I hope that helps your other listener.
‘Before COVID was trendy’ lol. Love the framing on that… perfect. On your daughter, most golfers in my experience are so self involved in their own game, swing etc, they only notice the great shots. They expect bad ones. Anxiety is a problem for more intelligent people and I would guess your daughter probably is going off your comment. Just remember bravery is not the absence of nerves but doing it despite them.
@@rickggrick778 no, thank you for being a beacon of hope in this world, with good people bringing children into this world. There is no greater gift than that of life.
16:34 I will say, that when I'm watching these longer Break 75s I'll usually watch them right when I'm done with work (5:00pm Chicago time) and because they're released on Friday's I'll have a beer with them, then when the wife gets home I'll have to finish it on either Saturday or Sunday. Rick Shiels' Break 75 is one of the most cathartic series on RUclips.
Facts lol. Love Rick but he always seems to lump all of the US into having weather like Florida or California. Northern USA winters are way worse than British/most of Europe’s winters. Courses aren’t even open it’s that bad.
I have to admit that when I first started listening to these podcasts, I didn't find Guy to be all that likeable. However, lately more and more, I find myself agreeing with him more on things and seeing that he is becoming much more comfortable speaking his mind. Keep up the great work.
Just my first time listening to this podcast. Don't usually enjoy talk fests as I prefer to watch golf being played. However I really enjoyed you and Guy chatting away, so now I will put your podcast on my must listen/ watch list.
Was at the Dell on Sunday, such a great event and day. Just saying there were more following the Consolation match with Rory and Scottie then the final.
Matchplay is much better if you have time to focus on each pairing. I love going back and watching the Shell golfing series from back in the day. Some great stuff.
You are going to break the internet with that round of golf it seems, I will stay tuned to see what you got Rick... haha and I do agree with the ball rollbacks for the professional game, fewer wedges into Par 4s the better in my opinion. Rory shouldn't be driving a 390-yard hole on the fly, and even Rory agrees with it.
Your discussion about playing to your handicap has been a taking point for several years. I had some golfing mates who expected to shoot their handicap all the time whereas the real expectation was to shoot or beat your handicap once every 8-10 rounds.
If think logically....your handicap is average of best 8 of last 20 rounds....so already thrown out worst 12/20, 60%. So left with best 40% of rounds ... BUT it's a average of these...so out of those 8 rounds you'd expect 4 above average and 4 below average by definition of average....with average being the handicap... So actually should expect to only break handicap in 4 rounds out of 20 .... So 20% of the time (1 round in 5)!
Welcome to my hometown. I always loved going to The Masters when I was growing up. It was a family tradition that I have been fortunate to share with my sons.
To all those who have a child or friend or other who are starting out, it is quite true that the nerves may never go away BUT, your ability to tackle those nerves and overcome them will only get bigger, stronger, more powerful and you will overcome. The example of Tiger is perfect because even with that talent the nerves were still there but, the ability to overcome was so strong. Golf can mirror life and, the skills used to overcome those first tee nerves can be used in any situation. A change of perspective might be useful, those feelings of heart pumping hard, palms getting sweaty, breathing getting fast, those are the same for excitement! Its exciting being on the first tee, the whole round ahead of you! To help you with that you can also do what a lot of us do and imagine! Imagine you are on the first tee of the Old Course. Yes we do do that and don't try to deny it!! Practice does help immensely because being able to make the club head connect with ball with regularity will only lead to a better outcome. I liked what Guy had to say about the difference between looking and watching. All those looking on are thinking the same - I hope I hit it straight! - they are as nervous as you.
@Nate Edwardson Golf called this, good on ya Nate! And congrats Rick for playing the holy grail of golf courses! Cant wait to see a Break 90 at Augusta National 😂
I went to the US Open in 1987 and watched Payne Stewart sky a drive...it went about 100 yards. I also saw Bob Tway hit one of those diving, smothered pull hooks off the tee (my favorite shot). You see a lot more bad shots when you attend live events! 😄
Enjoy Rick. A friend of mine played it on the Sunday (same day as drive chip and putt) before the masters last year. Said it was INCREDIBLE. Life time goal, enjoy
Can't believe I was at this Bongos and didn't see you there mate! You mustn't have went the bar because my table was right by it and I would have seen you 😂😂
very great podcast. You guys just keep getting better and better. Im a plus 20 handicap with a pga professional best friend who got me and my son into golf. Your content is so incredible and priceless to guys like me on the come up and recently caught the bug. You both are great. I love the back and forth between you and GUY. Also Guy congrats on the baby, as a father of two boys I am excited for you to enjoy this time with your new young family. Keep it up boys. Checking in from South Florida!
Great content again. I have to say that having a shorter driver is helping me big time. I started playing again after many years away. I got some newer clubs and played but always struggled with the driver (constantly slicing it). I found my old driver its over 20 years old and tried it and I am hitting it further and straighter. The old driver is two inches shorter. So I am going for a fitting this weekend. So looking forward to the Masters
I get the feeling that Rick is going to play Augusta National! The fact that he and Sir Nick Faldo had the interview recently is a good indication that he will get to play a round or two with Sir Nick at Augusta!
Did Rick secure one of those coveted Monday Augusta tee times for the Media?? From the tips Mr Shiels!! I’m a 2:45 marathoner (at age 46)- run walk 10k will devolve on the 2nd half to all walk. Better strategy to trick your legs for 1 day- is run 2 mi, walk 1 mile 1st half and run 1 mi walk 1 mi 2nd half. I can’t wait to hear the race report on this!
I actually disagree on the Rory/Scottie final. I was rooting for these young guys, up-and-coming superstars, to duke it out in the final. Wish the final had been a better match but as Cam Young said, he didn’t play poorly, Burns just played insanely well. The semi-final matchups were also amazing to watch.
Watched sir nicks podcast this morning and it was nice to see you on the other side answering qs for a change. I also enjoyed you on golf life many moons ago - you are visually more relaxed/different to what we’re used to and it’s entertaining.
what a great podcast! Thanks Guy for interacting with the FB group too! good luck in Augusta Rick, you'll do great! After watching the Sir Nick interview, I think you should talk about and drop clips of your early video days!
Hi Rick as for your marathon don't worry too much I did the Sheffield half marathon a few years ago very hilly hardly any training injury 3 weeks before and it popped 1 mile in again did it in 2.32 and don't be afraid to be on the sauce the night before worked for me 😂😂
I knew it!!!!! Congratulations!!!! Does this mean you are going to play with Sir Nick the Sunday before? Side note, can we stop comparing Scottie to Tiger? There is only one GOAT, and it ain’t Scottie.
Hope to see you there during the Masters.. I'll be there on Thursday and Friday... And like you Rick.. if I am getting what you're hinting, then welcome to a special and extremely small group that only few of us are a part of.. the experience of playing the course is a very special one.
Will look forward to possibly seeing you out there. I will be there the 2nd-7th of Masters week. I work for a traffic data collection company and we are hired by Augusta National every year to do studies on the patrons for improvements on admission gates, concession lines, golfshop queues, and many other things on or around the property. Safe travels.
Rick, my son has exactly the same little finger shape as yours, which he was born with and although he had splints and exercises as a kid it never did any good whatsoever. It’s part of you and him so embrace it. Love your work.
Rick would be the tour pro shouting "be the number" and it comes up 20 yards short 😂 I've never seen a big muscly guy be anything but motivational and positive towards a larger person and trying to help them if they want it
For the RUclips Masters, you should have a qualifier for some of the lesser known channels. Have one in the US and one in the UK, and if you don't get the invite, you could potentially qualify to play.
Rick if you ever get out to the West Coast and California to play Pebble Beach, might I suggest a side trip to Northwood in the heart of the Russian River district. This 9-hole golf course is also designed by Alistair Mackenzie. He built it while working on Pebble. Locals call it Knockwood for all the Redwood trees golfers hit with their shots. Good luck you will need it.
When Rory gets off the schneid at Augusta, he's going to win at least 2 more. Great news about Master's week, Rick. That will be an outstanding week for you. I have to say I think the ball being rolled back is a necessary thing. Let's give it a go, get some real world results and see how it affects the game. Great work, Rick and Guy, looking forward to the post Master's podcast. Swag for Guy!
Loved your chat with Sir Nick and you were talking about potential ideas. You actually mentioned one. Do a tour of municipal clubs and put them on the map to encourage new local players looking to dabble. Could potentially raise revenues for the struggling clubs 🤷♂️. Keep up the great work.
“Hard cold winter” indeed. It is still snowing in my part of Canada and today was a balmy -1 degree C. But we will be golfing soon. Thankful for simulators, for sure.
Haha good luck running a marathon off of no training Rick…. I suspect you might end up walking more than you run, however I love the charity you are supporting so kudos to you for giving it a go.
I loved that scramble video, the whole thing! Yes, I like the lesson vids to be short and sweet as you have done, but the playing vids, Break 75, How I Play Golf, etc., I enjoy the length. Well done, Lads. Speaking of guests, why not have some average run-of-the-mill rumjum golfers on that a) are knowledgeable, b) other average golfers can relate to, c) love the game, and d) are just ordinary, but charismatic folks? I live in Vietnam, am 64 yrs old, been playing all my life with, sadly, long periods of time where I couldn't, but am currently teaching 2 young lads. Asia is shit for facilities for young people - it's all geared to wealthy businesspeople. It needs fostering of youth golf programs!
And now the big news Rick got during a previous episode that made him so giddy becomes clear! Just me that thought it was going to be some kind of collab with Tiger?
Hey Rick, huge fan of the channel! I will be working at the Masters in the main Concession Stand and would love to see you come through there! it would be an honor to meet you!
Agree on guys friend, I love the videos but sometimes I can’t watch the whole thing through so I need to wait for another time to finish and sometimes I end up forgetting until a few weeks later.
The Masters shut down the use of "Masters" with a quickness when GG used it a couple of years ago, so I doubt the name sticks. Can't wait for it regardless of name!
Guy is spot on about handicaps. All amateurs have a tendency to judge themselves against their very best and get annoyed when they fail to hit those heights. I play off 7 and probably achieve that score about one time out of eight. It’s really annoying but that’s also the beauty of the game.
I got lucky with getting tickets this year for the Masters! I got Monday practice round tickets, so maybe we won't cross paths, but I'll be looking for you😄
"I might get a round of golf in" All you had to slip in at the end was "or four" and even if we knew for a fact it was tongue in cheek people would have gone MAD xD
For the simulator.. You can link your phone straight to a projector with chrome cast and its really cheap so you can project onto a screen straight infront of you fir really cheap
Whenever you talk about RUclips golfers you have never mentioned Chris Ryan, great teacher, looks like a great golfer who could embarass a lot of other RUclips golfers and 370k+ subscribers.
I loved this episode so much; I cannot wait for the masters as I feel that this may be Rory's year to win. I am also intrigued to see if or what course Rick plays Golf on while at Augusta.
hopefully he will be able to play augusta national... Dude perfect were allowed to film there prior to the masters last year so maybe it's accesseble for youtubers
Love it! Rick vs Augusta! I’ll take Fitzpatrick at The Masters - became a fan when he won the US amateur at Brookline - I lived 20 minutes from there and was too much of a lazy hump to drive over. Did see Strange and Faldo on Sunday in ‘88 tho
Hey Rick I have been thinking of a RUclips golf tournament for a year now and have an amazing idea of how to do it, and make it an ongoing thing that could become as big or bigger the even the pga, would love to work on it with you. Hopefully you read this comment but if not I'll keep commenting till you do 😊 and we can chat about it, cause I know it would be incredible, and that it will make for the most amazing content, for all parties, in so many ways I cant even start explaining in just a youtube message but it could be the biggest thing ever for RUclips Golf. So again, I really hope to hear from you, and if dreams come true, work on this with you. Cheers Mark
You mentioned David Duval!!! I Loved watching that guy. Can you imagine how many tournaments he would have taken from lefty if he'd stayed healthy and kept playing??
Not going to lie. Once Scotty and Rory lost their matches I didn’t care for the final. Good for burns and young on two equally as big upsets in semi finals, just wasn’t the match I was looking forward to
Great podcast guys. Regarding your finger, Rick (I believe it is Depuytren's contracture). I was able to continue to play golf comfortably (left hand pinkie for me) up until I had surgery (when my finger was so bent, I struggled to put my hand through a long sleeve shirt). However, if you want to see what happens with no surgery, check out Bill Nighy's hands............just saying! I had my surgery a few years back in December and was back playing in the Spring. There may also be non-surgical treatments but don't know enough about those to comment. It is way more common than you think!
CANNOT WAIT for the Rick@Augusta break 75?!?! Rick...I'm sure you've received lots of comments about the finger - happened to me as well - looks like a boutonniere deformity and should be addressed (mine were casted for 6 weeks and "bent" back successful). Cheers!
Rory has more accolades in golf than 50% of the liv field ,aka "has been tour "together ,36 professional wins, 4 MAJORS, Cameron Smith 7wins ,we're talking legend status vs basically a no one son.Cameron Smith shouldn't even be allowed on tv,kids watch, people like to eat without puke coming in their mouth, dude looks like a homeless sid from ice age

@@Dude0000 Thanks Gustav
@Joann Talbot - spot on. But we had to get over that first hurdle. Looking forward to our game together this Saturday 😁
@@rickggrick778 no, thank you for being a beacon of hope in this world, with good people bringing children into this world. There is no greater gift than that of life.
Tiger choker on first tee. He nervesly

Rick Shiels' Break 75 is one of the most cathartic series on RUclips.
Guy is such an underrated asset in youtube golf. Both on the course & on the pod. Love the content boys!
I agree. He's so great at making sure the audience realises how important RUclips golf is. And his jokes are hilarious 😒
“Hard cold winter.”
“Hardly any golf being played.”
Hearing this in Minnesota made me lol.
Facts lol. Love Rick but he always seems to lump all of the US into having weather like Florida or California. Northern USA winters are way worse than British/most of Europe’s winters. Courses aren’t even open it’s that bad.
Can confirm Rick, while I live a little West of Augusta National the Spring here in Georgia has been absolutely beautiful.
Ricks “tour pro trait” is possibly one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard him say. I love it!
Ricky Shiels playin Augusta!! 👀 So sick. Smart of them to make that happen. Curious to see who you’re gonna play with. Congrats
I have to admit that when I first started listening to these podcasts, I didn't find Guy to be all that likeable. However, lately more and more, I find myself agreeing with him more on things and seeing that he is becoming much more comfortable speaking his mind. Keep up the great work.
The Masters is gonna be insane this year
I am rooting for the LIV guys like Dustin Johnson and Bryson.
Why’s that?
Agreed.
Congrats! Freaking awesome and cool how so many people called it in the podcast when it was teased!!
I feel like Rick is going to be playing Augusta with his insinuations. If so, lucky!!!, really awesome, and have a good time!!
Just my first time listening to this podcast. Don't usually enjoy talk fests as I prefer to watch golf being played. However I really enjoyed you and Guy chatting away, so now I will put your podcast on my must listen/ watch list.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
What an achievement to be invited to play at Augusta.
#made it.
#deserved it.
Done a lot for the sport.
Guy, what wonderful comments you made about the child dealing with anxiety/depression. Golf is game to work on mindfulness skills. Kudos!
Was at the Dell on Sunday, such a great event and day. Just saying there were more following the Consolation match with Rory and Scottie then the final.
So happy for you! (The Masters) hope you have a blast!
Yes this is what I needed today. Nothing like an RS podcast to let me all will be well with the world.
Matchplay is much better if you have time to focus on each pairing. I love going back and watching the Shell golfing series from back in the day. Some great stuff.
The shell matchplay was great
You are going to break the internet with that round of golf it seems, I will stay tuned to see what you got Rick... haha and I do agree with the ball rollbacks for the professional game, fewer wedges into Par 4s the better in my opinion.

Play with Bryans Bros (at their new course) since they are so close to Augusta
Which course is theirs? Im from GA
@@garettgee6305 They bought Indian River Golf Club, but are revamping as a private club and renaming it. Currently under construction
@Nate Edwardson Golf called this, good on ya Nate! And congrats Rick for playing the holy grail of golf courses! Cant wait to see a Break 90 at Augusta National 😂
So did half the comment section mate
Nate didn’t call this, I called this 5 years ago and Rick said it would never happen as it would be bad for YT Golf.
I went to the US Open in 1987 and watched Payne Stewart sky a drive...it went about 100 yards. I also saw Bob Tway hit one of those diving, smothered pull hooks off the tee (my favorite shot). You see a lot more bad shots when you attend live events! 😄
Assumed this was the news from a few weeks ago that you got live on the podcast. Looking forward to the video!
Enjoy Rick. A friend of mine played it on the Sunday (same day as drive chip and putt) before the masters last year. Said it was INCREDIBLE. Life time goal, enjoy
Can't believe I was at this Bongos and didn't see you there mate! You mustn't have went the bar because my table was right by it and I would have seen you 😂😂

Loved the scramble format.
my only gripe with the dell match play was they did the trophy presentation before the consolidation match was finished which was a bit naughty
Would love to see you play in Austin too Rick. Sad to see that event go away. My gran won the ladies club championship there in the 80’s!
I get the feeling that Rick is going to play Augusta National!
The fact that he and Sir Nick Faldo had the interview recently is a good indication that he will get to play a round or two with Sir Nick at Augusta!
Did Rick secure one of those coveted Monday Augusta tee times for the Media?? From the tips Mr Shiels!!

Sam burns has 6 wins in 46 starts or something
Jack Nicklaus yes, but I don’t know why he is relevant in this conversation
Scottie reminds me of Nicklaus in his peace of mind and ability to hit it an extra 30 yards at will.
@@drat717 are you a time traveler. I just wrote that?

Safe travels.
Can't wait for..... one hundred and 80eeeeeeee!!!😂😂😂
You cheeky bastard. Callaway really hooked you up to play Augusta on Monday!!

I loved that scramble video, the whole thing! Yes, I like the lesson vids to be short and sweet as you have done, but the playing vids, Break 75, How I Play Golf, etc., I enjoy the length. Well done, Lads.
Speaking of guests, why not have some average run-of-the-mill rumjum golfers on that a) are knowledgeable, b) other average golfers can relate to, c) love the game, and d) are just ordinary, but charismatic folks? I live in Vietnam, am 64 yrs old, been playing all my life with, sadly, long periods of time where I couldn't, but am currently teaching 2 young lads. Asia is shit for facilities for young people - it's all geared to wealthy businesspeople. It needs fostering of youth golf programs!
Think Faldo will get him a game at Augusta with a reciprocal at one of the Manchester municipals.
And now the big news Rick got during a previous episode that made him so giddy becomes clear! Just me that thought it was going to be some kind of collab with Tiger?
Hey Rick, huge fan of the channel! I will be working at the Masters in the main Concession Stand and would love to see you come through there! it would be an honor to meet you!
Bongos bingo is the greatest night out you will ever have…..believe Rick, it’s mental and effing amazing
Agree on guys friend, I love the videos but sometimes I can’t watch the whole thing through so I need to wait for another time to finish and sometimes I end up forgetting until a few weeks later.
The Masters shut down the use of "Masters" with a quickness when GG used it a couple of years ago, so I doubt the name sticks. Can't wait for it regardless of name!
Guy is spot on about handicaps. All amateurs have a tendency to judge themselves against their very best and get annoyed when they fail to hit those heights. I play off 7 and probably achieve that score about one time out of eight. It’s really annoying but that’s also the beauty of the game.
I got lucky with getting tickets this year for the Masters! I got Monday practice round tickets, so maybe we won't cross paths, but I'll be looking for you😄
Nice going dude ! I hope you do run into the crew.
Ugh ! So green eyed about your trip to Masters week !!! Have a wonderful trip Rick .
Enjoy your time at he masters mate 👍 you lucky man 😁.
"I might get a round of golf in"
All you had to slip in at the end was "or four" and even if we knew for a fact it was tongue in cheek people would have gone MAD xD
Would love to see Rick and Sir Nick Faldo have a friendly game around Augusta. Would be magic!
Great news my dude. Big Respect!
For the simulator..
You can link your phone straight to a projector with chrome cast and its really cheap so you can project onto a screen straight infront of you fir really cheap
It is my understanding that there is a lottery for media to play Augusta I think on the Monday after the Masters. I assume Rick qualifies as media.
Sounds like he’s playing with Faldo at Augusta maybe the Sunday before Masters
Is Rick going to get to play Augusta?? That would be absolutely incredible
Can't wait to see Clubby McClubface at the RUclips Masters
I will be there on Monday, Cameras are allowed on practice days, just not phones
Whenever you talk about RUclips golfers you have never mentioned Chris Ryan, great teacher, looks like a great golfer who could embarass a lot of other RUclips golfers and 370k+ subscribers.
Great content. Very humble guy
I loved this episode so much; I cannot wait for the masters as I feel that this may be Rory's year to win. I am also intrigued to see if or what course Rick plays Golf on while at Augusta.
hopefully he will be able to play augusta national... Dude perfect were allowed to film there prior to the masters last year so maybe it's accesseble for youtubers
@timh yes mabye Rick can film there 🤞
I can definately feel a practice round at the holy grail with a certain SIR coming on Rick cant wait , enjoy rick , I am sure we all will too.
Can't wait for the Break 75 at Augusta! You can't hide this one Rick!
Love it! Rick vs Augusta!
I’ll take Fitzpatrick at The Masters - became a fan when he won the US amateur at Brookline - I lived 20 minutes from there and was too much of a lazy hump to drive over. Did see Strange and Faldo on Sunday in ‘88 tho
Can’t wait for the masters video to come out. Acting very suspicious and cheeky today Rick. 😉
Hey Rick
I have been thinking of a RUclips golf tournament for a year now and have an amazing idea of how to do it, and make it an ongoing thing that could become as big or bigger the even the pga, would love to work on it with you.
Hopefully you read this comment but if not I'll keep commenting till you do 😊 and we can chat about it, cause I know it would be incredible, and that it will make for the most amazing content, for all parties, in so many ways I cant even start explaining in just a youtube message but it could be the biggest thing ever for RUclips Golf.
So again, I really hope to hear from you, and if dreams come true, work on this with you.
Cheers
Mark
You mentioned David Duval!!! I Loved watching that guy. Can you imagine how many tournaments he would have taken from lefty if he'd stayed healthy and kept playing??
Superb. Have a great time Rick.........On another note my daughter likes Bongo Bingo too.
I hope you get to bump into Jon of Stacked Golf at Augusta.
Not going to lie. Once Scotty and Rory lost their matches I didn’t care for the final. Good for burns and young on two equally as big upsets in semi finals, just wasn’t the match I was looking forward to
Did you watch scotty and Rory consolation match? Can't believe that wasn't the final.
Great podcast guys. Regarding your finger, Rick (I believe it is Depuytren's contracture). I was able to continue to play golf comfortably (left hand pinkie for me) up until I had surgery (when my finger was so bent, I struggled to put my hand through a long sleeve shirt). However, if you want to see what happens with no surgery, check out Bill Nighy's hands............just saying! I had my surgery a few years back in December and was back playing in the Spring. There may also be non-surgical treatments but don't know enough about those to comment. It is way more common than you think!
CANNOT WAIT for the Rick@Augusta break 75?!?! Rick...I'm sure you've received lots of comments about the finger - happened to me as well - looks like a boutonniere deformity and should be addressed (mine were casted for 6 weeks and "bent" back successful). Cheers!
Congrats Rick !! 💪
I'm genuinely hoping one of the LIV guys win the Masters! Rory will absolutely pop his lid and it'll be awesome!
Let's go Cam Smith!
Rory has more accolades in golf than 50% of the liv field ,aka "has been tour "together ,36 professional wins, 4 MAJORS, Cameron Smith 7wins ,we're talking legend status vs basically a no one son.Cameron Smith shouldn't even be allowed on tv,kids watch, people like to eat without puke coming in their mouth, dude looks like a homeless sid from ice age
