In a playful yet pointed exchange during a recent golf outing, NASCAR superstar Denny Hamlin faced a good-natured threat from his friend Daniel DiOrios, better known as “Spider” of the Barstool Sports fame. The banter-filled exchange, broadcasted for all on Instagram, added a touch of humor to the racetrack warrior’s off-duty activities.

Who knew golf could be this heated? But wait, there’s more—the plot thickens with an unexpected like.

The setting was serene—a golf course, the sun shining, and a couple of pals trying to make par. But when Denny Hamlin decided to comment on a friend’s shot, the atmosphere took a humorous turn. “No pressure but his shot really s**ked,” Hamlin quipped, referring to his friend Spider, a host of the Rubbin’ is Racing podcast.

However, the joke was on Hamlin when Spider retorted, “I’m gonna swing on Denny if he keeps this s**t up.” The quick-witted Hamlin, not one to be outdone, swiftly came back with, “Oh, he’s an angry elf.” The back-and-forth exchange was all in good fun, but it’s clear Hamlin’s trash-talking game is as strong on the golf course as it is on the racetrack.

Hamlin even captioned the Instagram post: “He’s an angry elf,” to which Spider responded, “Next time I see you: 👊”

What made the post even more compelling was the subtle interaction involving Jordan Fish, Denny Hamlin’s ex-girlfriend and the mother of his daughters. She hit the “like” button, suggesting that, despite their estranged status, there’s still a connection or at least an appreciation for Hamlin’s comedic side.

Fans were quick to jump on the bandwagon as they made funny observations on this hilarious interaction between the podcast hosts.
