Noah Kahan just had one of the best 8-day stretches any Massachusetts native has ever had. He became the first performer to sell out four straight nights at Fenway Park, drawing a reported 151,000 fans across the run, got inducted into the Fenway Music Hall of Fame alongside names like Billy Joel and Paul McCartney, and had the state of Massachusetts declare an actual Noah Kahan Day. Then, because apparently that wasn't enough content for one week, he went and made a hole-in-one at Boston Golf Club.
Four sold out shows at Fenway. A viral hole-in-one. And now… having his golf swing chirped by Kevin Kisner 💀 NOAH KAHAN JOINS THE POD COMING OFF AN ALL-TIME WEEK
The ace itself went properly viral — Kahan hit it with a 5-iron on the 11th hole and celebrated pin-side with a drink in hand, the kind of moment that ends up getting mentioned onstage in front of 80,000 people at Wrigley Field on his Great Divide Tour, which is exactly what happened. So naturally the Fore Play guys wanted him on to break it down, and Kahan obliged, walking through the whole story with Riggs and the crew while also getting his actual golf swing chirped by Kevin Kisner in the process.
But the best part of the whole saga might be the subplot Trent brought up separately. Turns out Kahan's first phone call after making the hole-in-one was to Trent — and Trent missed it. There's something almost too on-brand about a viral sports moment getting immediately buried by a missed call, and Trent wasn't shy about airing it out on the show.

It's a small detail, but it's the kind of thing that makes the crossover work. Fore Play built its whole identity on golf being a great equalizer — doesn't matter if you're a Barstool host or a Grammy-nominated stadium act, everyone's just trying to make solid contact and not shank one into the trees. Kahan clearly plays enough to have real stories, and having a legitimate ace to talk about instead of a manufactured bit is what separates this episode from your typical celebrity-guest podcast fluff.

Kahan's Great Divide Tour keeps rolling through stadiums across the country behind his 4th studio album, so this Fore Play stop is basically a victory lap sandwiched between a historic hometown run and whatever's next on the road. For Fore Play, it's another data point in a growing trend of the pod pulling in guests well outside the usual tour-pro or ex-athlete lane — and for Kahan, it's just further proof that right now, he genuinely cannot lose.
