\n\tBrian Baumgartner (The Office), Cooper Manning and Kenny Mayne need a fourth for their new golf\/comedy podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tSmartLess<\/a> Media, SiriusXM and Electric Ave are launching We Need a Fourth, hosted by Baumgartner, the Manning who didn\u2019t play quarterback<\/a> and Mayne, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. (Cooper Manning was a very good wide receiver coming out of high school, but during his first practices at Ole Miss, Manning was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and had to hang it up. His son Arch Manning is currently the star quarterback<\/a> at the University of Texas.)<\/p>\n

\n\tWe Need a Fourth\u00a0will be the world\u2019s \u201cmost entertaining golf podcast,\u201d it claims, \u201cdiving into the juiciest stories across the world of golf. It\u2019s the podcast version of a round of golf with your best friends, capturing the fun and intimacy that makes this game so addictive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAlongside the rise of YouTube Golf<\/a>, a number of entertaining golf podcasts now exist \u2014 so this threesome has their work cut out for them. Not that word of it got back to Kenny Mayne.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAs far as I know, this is probably one of the first golf podcasts ever, so Brian, Cooper and I see ourselves as pioneers,\u201d the former SportsCenter fan fave said in a statement. \u201cOur guest list, on paper, is like a dream team of people we\u2019d want to play with. Of course, it\u2019s closer to a list of people who wouldn\u2019t invite us to play because I refuse to tuck in my shirt. Yes, we will discuss dumb golf things. And great golf things. Because we hate and love golf so much\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe members\u2019 guests will include Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, Eli Manning, Sebastian Maniscalco, Andrew Santino, Michelle Wie West, Eric Stonestreet, Heather McMahan, Austin Hurt, Jay Larson, Jared Freid, Austin Reaves, Fat Perez (of Bob Does Sports), Max Homa and more.<\/p>\n

\n\tWe Need a Fourth\u00a0will premiere on\u00a0Monday, Sept. 15, with new episodes releasing every Monday on the SiriusXM app or wherever podcasts are available.\u00a0We Need a Fourth\u00a0episodes will also air Mondays at 9 p.m. ET (and replay several times throughout the week) on the\u00a0SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio\u00a0channel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tVideo of full episodes will appear on the SmartLess Media channel on YouTube.<\/p>\n

\n\tWe Need a Fourth is produced by SmartLess Media and Electric Avenue. Baumgartner, Manning, Mayne and Stewart Bailey serve as executive producers, alongside producers Anne Harris and Kyle McGraw, and associate producer Maddie McCann. Marc Forman is an executive producer for Electric Avenue. Executive producers for SmartLess Media include Arnett, Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, Richard Korson and Bernie Kaminski.<\/p>\n
