The boys are coming off, I don't know, the most viral episode of 4 play we've ever done, Jake Owen.

Crazy viral. I was going to say the whole world probably knows what Supreme Golf is now because they were in that clip and that clip was everywhere. Their logo being on that video, I looked. I mean, that video almost has a million views on Twitter alone. Probably 1.5 or 2 million overall. Let me get in these emails from this new PR person. Oh, my God. These numbers?

The updates are like laugh out loud funny. I think we got one before that said, hey guys, just checking in, 300 and 4.4. million impressions this week. Where do you think she comes up with these numbers? Where does that come from? So she goes, she's picked up by 25 outlets. She's a new lady we hired her this week. She started on Monday.

She's awesome. Busy week. And she's been updating us on like every time another outlet picks up our story. She sends us an email update. She sent us 11 emails. She has to send an email every minute because the story's getting picked up everywhere. I'm talking. This thing's picked up by ESPN push notification where it said for Play podcast.

Not to steal anything else, but not. a big deal. Fox News, New York Post, Golf Digest. I saw just now Daily Mail. It's on like their homepage. Yeah, she sent us a screen or what do you call one of these? Excel spreadsheet of it. Per my last email. I'd like to let you know about this Excel spreadsheet. There's a list of the

publications. It's Business Insider, Daily Mail, for the win. Fox 17 Nashville. That's huge for us. We're big in Nashville, I guess. Like that. Screw Nashville. Blues are going to dust all you Nashville people coming up. Smashville.Golf.Golf.Golf.com. Golf Digest. New York Post. SI.com, USA Today, Yahoo. Basically, you name the outlet, and we were on it for this story with Phil.

Now, let me say this. We've had Justin Thomas on this show. We had Tiger Woods on this show for a couple of months. We had Bryson D. Chambon, when he buried Frankie because he can't chip. He's got the skull fucks. Won't answer my DM. Really? I want to play Fortnite with him.

He does play Fortnite. He posts about it all the time. Won't answer my DM. Is it on red or scene? No. No, but he knows it's there. He's very active. He's a green dot right next to him.

Bryson is actively not answering my messages. We have Bubble Watson on the show. We get all these guys. And when those guys are on, I expect there to be a big uptick. It's expected to be, you know, we're going to get coverage. People are going to be going to, they're going to open their eyes. They're going to open their ears. I go, shit, I've got to pay attention this time.

We had Jake Owen coming in. Now, I'm a country fan. I know Trent was like, who the hell's Jake Owen? I know a lot of people in the office are like, who the hell is Jake Owen, because if you're not a country fan, you probably don't know who he is. I'm a huge country fan. I said on my playlist, which is coming out very soon. I know I've said that before, but trust me, it's getting pretty serious now. Wrigsey James.

Coming out. I didn't say, I didn't say. Rigsie James. Ooh, I didn't say it. That's pretty good. That was pretty sad. You got a pretty good local. It is.

I'm sitting, local radio. I'm sitting in Jake Owen's seat, and he had such a smoothing voice. Yeah. It was incredible. Wait, talk, like, did you just combine some gau-soothing. That was kind of nice. Yeah, you did. You said smoothing voice.

Like his voice, like, smooths out peanut butter on bread. Kind of does. I think it might. His voice did do that. When Jake Owen's coming in here, again, I was a little exciting because I'm a country music fan, but, you know, you don't think this is necessarily going to move the needle. It'll be a fun guy who's played a web.com tour event.

He plays in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am with Jordan Spee's, so, like, he'll probably have a couple stories. It'll be fun. You don't think it's going to go crazy. We kind of knew, right, you know, within 10 minutes. So, like, this is a fucking interview right now. Like, this guy is awesome. He's riffing with us.

He's busting our balls. He's busting our balls. He's busting Frankie's balls. He starts telling story after story. Got to a point where he just started mentioning names and then just telling stories about them. The Phil story, of course, the one that got picked up. But even think about, like, how awesome the Sergio story was. His impression of Sergio Garcia was off the charts.

His impression of a really rich dude in, like, Beverly Hills or wherever it was, was unbelievable. It was off the charts. His Wayne Gretzky story, just the whole interview. He told the story with, like, dentures. Like, you could tell it was, like, an old white dude who was, like, super. Who just bought new teeth? Like, Drake Owen, I got to tell you something, Sean. Like, it was an unbelievable impersonation of a rich white dude in California.

It was something. So if you have, for some reason, not listened yet, the Jake Owen interview from Tuesday's show, it's probably the biggest thing that we've ever done in Foreplay with, how much it was picked up, how much it's getting in. And I think it's well deserved. I mean, that interview was just awesome. He's a very good dude. hit all of us up afterwards and sort of said, you know, thanks so much for having me in.

He loves that the story went viral, the fact that Phil confirmed the story and tweeted right away on Monday night, true story with just a little smiley face. On a real tweet. I do want to say, like, I felt a little bit bad for Jake that, you know, we put the first half of the story out, which is the one obviously that goes crazy. That version of the story feels like it ends with Phil just being like, go fuck yourself and that's it. The story, of course, came like, full circle where they played in the Phoenix Open.

pro-am. Phil gave him the, oh, Jakey, let's have fun today. And then Jake went on to say how Phil was just like the man. He was super cool about it. They had a great time. Phil walked him all the way to the 10T afterwards, even though he didn't have to. And a lot of outlets, like ESPN kind of put it in a clickbait way where it was like, and Fox News did too, where it was like, Phil tells like unworthy country singer to go fuck himself. And it's kind of like, that wasn't really the whole story. I understand you're going to get that. We play in the clickbait game. So fine. But I do think it's worth mentioning. And he was super, super, super cool about it.

He was like, dude, the fact that stories going viral is awesome. He loved it. He's the man. If you haven't listened to that, go check it out. All right. Behind the Greens is back. I told people to call in with their stories from Augusta National. We don't know what we're going to get in.

It's kind of like behind the scenes. Yeah, it's a pun. A lot of people were tweeting that. Behind the Greens, sort of like behind the scenes with Trent. Yeah. It's like behind the scenes. That's the pun. That's the whole joke behind that one name, right?

behind the jobs of all these people, some stories. Behind the Greens. It's like behind the scenes, in quotation marks, dash, train. Have we made that change yet? Somebody actually sent that to me, and I haven't published it yet. I need to publish it. It was very funny. It was very funny.

We're going to get to those. We got some good ones. I was going through these emails earlier. I think we're going to have some incredible, incredible stories from Augusta. And I think some of them are going to make us start to get the chills, start to make us feel like we're really entering. We're easing our way into math. Masters Week, which Bernie Golf fan is by far the best week of the year. First, we have a from the gallery that sort of took over the office for a few minutes

today that we have to get to. I don't know where this came from, Frankie. You just came from your brain? Just came from my brain. So they do this answer the internet thing on KFC Radio. And today was Nate Bargatsy to plug their thing a little bit. He's one of my favorite comedians, unreal guy. And he's a big golfer.

I knew that from his stand-up. So they came out to me, and they're like, you know, he has to be really clean. And he can't really use a lot of the things that they talk about. like how many dicks can you sit on or whatever in like a banner of like, it's crazy. I mean, case you're, like, that's just the way that's like, the fact that you boiled their whole like show down to how many things can you sit on.

Literally one where it's like, would you rather sit on a cake and eat a dick or sit on a dick and eat a cake? It's literally the one that they ask people. Ooh. God, that's a tough thing. Learn, want to answer the internet? No,

I think I'll pass on that, but that really put my brain into a pretzel that one. That was, I shut down. I just slightly stared against the wall. That question, enter my brain, and then I just removed it. I forcedfully removed it. Lurch is like, well, what kind of icing? He does.

He does have everything. So anyway, I'm thinking of golf questions, and I'm like, so the question that came up with was, you have five putts. And walking up to a green, you're approaching this guy, he has a challenge for you. There's five balls on the green. He says, I'm going to give you five puts from five feet out. For every put that you make, you get $10 million cash. For every put that you miss, you have to do one year in jail.

So the question is, do you take that challenge? Do you step up to that green and be like, okay, I have these five putts from five feet. Am I knocking in enough to justify the misses? Yes. Can I answer first? Yes. Yeah. My answer is it's a no-brainer yes.

Wow. And my logic is this. I think that my worst performance that I'll have is I'll make one. That's like the worst performance I could possibly have. You don't think there's a chance you go over five. No. So then the question becomes, is $10 million worth four years in jail today? I say yes.

The type of prison that popped in my head when I thought of this was like white collar prison. Right? I'm not thinking. Yeah, so a couple things to define. Like, how bad is the prison? Are we sitting on cakes or are we sitting on cakes? And then on top of that, is it like Augusta Greens? Is it a downhill slider that?

played outside the hole or are we just saying like you know a munich course that you just bat the thing right up against the whole straight puck. I think if it's like a, I think if there's too much break, like if you're talking a couple of Lance Armstrong. Yes. I think that's too much. I think you got to up the money. Oh, yeah.

I think it's got to be like an uphill. Like you're at Bethpage Black, not too much. Like, you know, Beth Page Black are quick, but there's not a lot of movement to them. Yeah, they're not crazy fast. So I think you have a five foot put like on the first hole of the black. It's kind of straight. You know this. It's like a.

It's like a left center putter or something. It's not way outside the hole. It's not dead straight because I think that'll fuck with you also. I think it's got to have a little bit of a turn. I hate dead straight. Dead straight is horrifying. Horrifying. No margin for air.

So I think like left edge, uphill, good pace, but five footer. You don't get a practice shot. Of course not. Step up, you got to see it. My take on this, I'll go before you guys because I just got to get it off my chest. If you miss the first put, you're fucked. Yeah, that's what I said. I think you're like, yep.

If I miss the first put, I'm doing five years. in jail. Yes. Because I'm a mess. I'm a mess after that. First putt, you're like, I'm already in for one year. I'm in good boy.

I could be looking at a slippery slope here. I miss two. You could see a guy snap on the golf course right now. See, I'm in fucking jail for two years right now. I mean, I've been to say, I hit some goddamn puns. All I did, I walked out of this practice screen and I put myself in jail.

What the fuck is this? Two years. I only have three to go. It's a good Saturday until that. I was supposed to be playing 18 with the boys. I just made a reservation for, at least two years in fucking jail. I got no money.

The two police officers standing off to the side would be very, like, eerie to me. Like, I think you've got to factor that in. Oh, I didn't know that was part of it. I think that has to be part of it. I think that has to be part of it. I think someone mentioned that there should be TV cameras. Hold on, hold on. Wait, you're telling me the police officers standing right there with handcuffs.

The minute the challenge is over, if I missed at least one, they haul my ass off. Yes. Oh, my gosh. I think the money has to be there, too. I didn't think about that either. Like, like, a series of poker, there's always put the money out there. But if they're going to handcuff you right away, even if you win $40 million, they're going to handcuff you right away. Then your money is just on the green.

What are you going to do? No, there should be a computer there, a nice little system, and they have your bank account information. They wire it right in there. So, like, as you're walking to the prison, they're like, by the way, when you get it out, you got 30 mil waiting for you. Right. Don't hate that. First phone call? Smartest person I know.

Hey, you got to go manage my money. Here's the password. I want fucking good investments. Nothing too crazy out there. We got a lot of money. I don't need to be fucking lunatics. But something's solid, sound. I want more money than the $30 million I made when I win in.

Right. So you'd actually – all right, hold on. Let's back up a little bit. So bet on the table, five-footer, five putts, $10 million a putt. You miss one. You go a year to jail. There's two police officers on the side of the green. If you miss one putt at least, as soon as the putts are over, you do not finish your round.

Do not pass go. You go directly to jail. Correct. Riggs, are you still in? 100% in. I'm 100% in. Really? 100% is.

That stunts me. You're a bad putter. I'm a bad putter, but I'm still thinking I'm making one. All right, so $10 million is enough to go to jail for four years? So I've got more confidence than just one if I think I'm making three. Holy shit. Yeah, I would say my, I think that I would, my guess is like if I really did this in real time, I think I would miss one and make four.

But I could also see a very realistic scenario where I made three or maybe even two. And at that case, you're talking, I got fucking $20 or $30 million and I got to do two, three years in jail, fine. I said this to my buddies. They said no way in hell are they trying this. They said that they can see themselves going 0 for 5 in a blink of an eye, and they just lose five of the years of their life. What are your buddies have, like zero motor skills?

I guess. I know. I think five feet, just like sometimes those things are fucking hard to knock down, man. They're not getting me. Your voice just, they're not gimmies, man. You just turn into like a six-year-old.

Yeah, they're not giving me. Yeah, they're not. Gives is right, though. If you make one, it's worth it. No, no, no, no, no, no. If I make one and I got four years in jail. Four years.

I'm pissed off. I'm pissed. Dude, four years of your life, all the experiences, everything you get to do in this like free life that we have. And now I'm locked up in a jail cell, potentially sitting on cakes. I'll say this. I'll say this then. Then if I were you, then I'm surprised that it's an automatic yes for you. Because my thinking is like, okay, as long as I just make one, in my opinion, it's worth it.

I'm not happy about it. I think it's awful. It's actually pretty close. I think that $10 million for four years of your life, probably really. relatively like close 50-50 whatever but I think overall I'm like all right I'm gonna be 35 36 when I get out I've got 10 million dollars in theory I should still have at least like 40 years of my life left and I've got 10 shmillion to build on let's go yes now again I think there's a good chance I'm just thinking like it could be wrong that I'm gonna make

at least like three or four so now I got a year or two in jail and I've got 30 or 40 million dollars I'm a bazillionaire jail is way easier when you got that money on the other side I'm shocked that you're going to let someone invest it. Like, I don't know. To me, the risk. So I'd put it in like, I'm not going to get into finance here, but like a bond or something like 3%. The fact that you would let some guy like invest it in just an equity, imagine like a downturn in the economy. And you go from 30 to like six and you still have three and a half years left.

I would lose my mind. I'm actually with you there. I wouldn't let anybody. No, nobody's touching that. I don't care if I get like a 15 cents interest while I'm in there. That's all I'm going for. That's the investor I want. Then I'm cutting out $30 million and $15.

Fine. You know what I'd be doing in jail the whole time? I'd be thinking about what my money's doing. I'd be up on it. I want updates. I'd be coming up with decisions. I'd be learning about finance. What the fuck else are you doing jail?

I want my money to have dust and cobwebs on it when I get out. I don't want anybody to touch that fucking money. That's an interesting one. But I'm 100% yes. You are a yes. You're a yes? You're a yes. I'm a yes, but I'm shitting my pants.

I'm a yes. The bet changes dramatically. You miss one. You miss one. I'm a yes until I missed the first one and then I'm committing suicide. What if I just really badly pull the first one? And I don't even come close. Like, I just, I just yank it.

I'm starting to sweat right now. What the hell am I doing up here? Then the next one I push and it like lips out. Honestly, if this was on team, I wouldn't even be able to watch you do it. Oh, God. With what you just said, I'd be, I have to go in the other room. Yeah. It's like, you're stepping up to your third ball.

Step me up to the third ball and you're like, I haven't hit one yet and I haven't even come close. How much? How much time do you take between? Yeah, here's the other question that I came up with. How time do you take between your second and third put after missing two? What is your approach to each put? Say it again? What's your approach to each put?

You have five balls. You can do them however you want. You either line up. Do you do your usual, you know, you step up there. You're hitting a birdie put regular round of golf. Or are you doing what you do on the practice green? You're just kind of rolling through them. I do exactly like I do in real golf, which is what I stole from Tiger Woods,

which I go through the exact same routine every single time. Yeah, you do have a similar process. I do not have the same process, but you are actually amazingly consistent with the process of your approach to put. mine could probably use some improvements. I'd probably do my inconsistent approach. You hit the first one. You're going to step away and redo it? Yes.

If I make the first one or miss, I'd do the exact same routine. I would do it for the first. I think if I roll in the first one back of the cup, I just keep going. No. I'll do the same. I'll do like my standoff approach. Look at the whole again. I think the pressure mounts, mounts up way too much that way.

No, I think if you make the first one, you can step back and be like, I have $10 million. Now I, it's kind of like. Making the first one makes the whole difference. Oh, make, if you make, if I was guaranteed to make the first one, I mean, like. That's an easy. Dude, I think the most intense ones would be if you make the first three. Those last two where you're like, I could walk away. I'm like, I'm going to walk out of here not having to go to jail.

Imagine you miss that last one. You'd spend that whole year. Like, you fucking loser. You made four in a row you couldn't make one goddamn putt from five feet. A whole year you'd have to sit there and think about that. Oh, my. Yeah, that fifth one would be tough. Oh, like a lip out on the fifth?

And then the cops just like come over and beat you with a stick. I got 40 mil. I'm the $40 million. You can't arrest you again. 40 million. That was a deal, pal. Wax you in the back. Down on your knees.

They whack you again. You're down on your face. Cuffed, gone. I'm just sitting on the left edge of the cop and you're just like, dude. I have an extension of this question real quick before we get to behind the greens, which is also kind of like behind the scenes. It's just a little play on that four-play spin. It's incredibly similar.

Same. Tiger Woods has a 10-foot putt. if he makes it, you make $50 million. If he misses it, you go to jail for 10 years. Are you letting him hit that put? No. No. Not even letting him take it?

10 feet, Frank. Yeah. Hold on how many years? Did you see him at the math player? 10 years? I'm going to jail for a decade, you're telling me? Like, no, Frankie. All right, all right.

I'll eat that. Be reasonable, friend. I literally eat that golf ball and, you know, you can get it if you kill me, but like this thing. You got to tweak that one a little. That was on the top of the head. Right. is there is there an amount of we have to find the amount of money right in the amount of years that you would trust tiger woods to make a 10 foot putt 10 foot's I can't even watch it make it like put for 10 feet now his put that he lost on what was saturday percent is gotta be around 50 50 50 that's why I think it's pretty good what yeah I mean 100 million dollars if he makes it I just think a decade like I'm okay with like the two to three year risk but a decade just is all right he makes it part of that is tiger just he nothing happens to tiger but

you called off the prison. He's just like, my bad. Tiger guy just waves to you like, bye-bye. Bye-bye, Frankie. What if he doesn't like the way you look? He just fucking pulls one. You know what this guy? I'm out on that.

You know what the justice system deserves this guy? Get the fuck out of here. Yeah. He just taps at five feet. Imagine he just turns his hat around backwards, just walks into his, like, escalate and drives away. I'm going to prison now. You're like, you're like, yeah.

No, Ty, Tiger, no. You're just gone. He just has no idea that that happened. Decade in jail? With your life on the line, would you trust Tiger more to hit a green from the T or to nail like a 10-foot putt? I mean, I'm sorry, hit a fairway. Probably 10-footer. Like, do you trust a tiger on the T or a 10-footer?

10-footer. With your life on the line. When you're like, he only has to do is just drill this one down the fairway. Or he has to hit like a kind of 10-footer. You guys ever see the Count of Monte Cristo? Yeah. Oh, I have a scene when, what is it, Dent? or whatever his name is?

You're speaking another language? When he gets hauled off because his buddy screws him and he ends up getting hauled off to like this French prison forever and the scene when they like haul him off and he's just like he has no idea what's going on. It went from a very normal life. They haul him off for like 15 years into like this brutal prison and he has no idea. They put him in the back of his carriage and he's looking out like what is what is going on here?

Like what is happening and then he's just gone. He just disappears. That's what I'm envisioning after you like missed the punch. Like wait a second. Like, legit, maybe five minutes ago I was just going to play golf of my buddies, and now I'm just going to prison for a decade. What happened here? A decade.

Nope. No way. I actually thought of something different, but similar. So I was more thinking of Inhappy Gilmore when, like, the caddy or the guy that Shooter asked to do all these, like, sketchy little things to happy, when he's like, we're still going to Red Lobster, right? You remember that? Oh, for Shooter. Yeah. Shooter, we're still going to Red Lobster.

It's like, towed off. That's what I thought of. Yeah, no, no, I thought I was that guy. Asking Shooter to go to Red Lobster. Tough spot in my life. All right. Let's hear what people think. We also, we kind of started to talk about the idea of like, what if, would you, how much

would it change it if after each putt you got to decide if you wanted to stop or not? Oh. I think that makes it very interesting because that brings greed into it. And if, because then if you make the first two, I think you just stop. My thinking was it kind of ruins it because if you make one, I think you. You just quit. 10 million is a lot. Yeah.

And if you miss the first two, do you just like take your losses or you're like fucking I'm already in jail for two years? I think you got to hammer away. Yeah. I think you got a hammer. Oh, man, that'd be, you miss four and you're like. At that point, you got to go. You're like, well, four or five, whatever.

You're like, do I stop right now because I clearly can't hit this put or do I just go for the next three and I'm just in jail for five years? I think you go till you make one and then you evaluate if this is worth it anymore. Like if you miss two and then I would continue to press on. If I make the first, I'm done. Imagine the balls you have. If you miss the first two, you make the third, and you're like, again. Hit me again.

Can you miss? Now you're just racking up years in jail for no reason? No reason. That third year would be awful. Awful. Awful. I was done. I could have walked away.

I had 10 million. And now I'm just in jail for another year for no reason. Maybe they forgot I hit that put. Two years you could do three, you just can't do. Isn't amazing what we were doing? So we'll do it. You're like, I got another one. What we'll do for money?

Fucking Kisner's already made $17. What do you make, $20 million? 18. Playing golf? Unbelievable. We're willing to go to jail for maybe four years. For one of them. For $10 million.

It's unbelievable. Unbelievable. Crazy. All right. Next up. Who's the baseball player quickly? Who just made 30? No, no, no.

Mike Trout? He's going to make, in a third of a year he's going to make that. Yeah. Yeah. Def back. Play the outfield. Where sweatpants hands are drenched. That must be nice.

Imagine me able to do that. All right. Let us know what you think about this one, folks. The old from the gallery that Frankie came up with in his head. Next up, we got From the Greens. We're doing Augustus stories. Let's rip through these. If you are like me, like all of us, nothing hits the spot.

Like a nice alcoholic beverage or two to unwind after work or celebrate with friends. Look, Masters Week's coming up. Live from coverage is coming up. We're going to sit there. especially Lurch and I in our apartment. We have a couple glasses on wine. Maybe a couple beers, maybe a couple of mixies, a couple transfusions. Oh, girl.

Look, nothing crazy, okay? Just a couple drinks before you go to sleep. Now, even when you do that, very, very rare you're going to wake up in the morning and you're just going to feel perfect.

I'm just at work, actually. I'm a recruiter and staffing just like you. Oh, wow, doing a little recruiting.

Yeah, I used to recruit. I'm on the sales side now, but yeah, I snuck into an office, so we're all set. Well, Augusta, what's your Augusta story? What do you got for us today? Yeah, so I'm a tournament employee, so I get to go down every year, you know, for the whole week and work. You know, so we get celebs coming in all the time. but a cool story was last year of Friday. It was Phil Mickelson on 9, and he hooked his T-shot in between, like, 8 and 9 in that woods area.

So me and me and my buddies were, you know, standing there, saw the ball come ricocheting down. And I think the first, his second shot, he punched out, but he, like, hit a tree and it ricocheted back into the woods, and it landed in this bush. So me and my buddies found it were like, Mr. Mickelson, your ball's in this bush right here. And he just kind of looked down at it. He's like, no, I can't play that, and just kind of walked away. and the whole crowd followed him. So he went and just played his shot again, you know, and kept walking, and the crowd followed him.

And then he just kind of left his stuff in there. So we reached down and kind of just picked up his ball. And it was a cool little souvenir for us. Wow, you just kept his ball from the bush? Yep. He just left it there, you know, dropped the shot, you know, from the previous spot. And we just kept it and, you know, went back to work. Kind of stunning that that ball didn't just disappear.

I'm stunned that that ball even stayed in the bush. Yeah, you would like look. you'd go peer, you'd pull the little branches away, and the ball's just gone. Yeah, it was there 10 seconds again. Yeah. Yeah, no, it was right there. Phil came over and looked at it. He's like, no, I can't play that.

I'm just going to go back and re-hit. So the crowd just kind of followed him, and, you know, we just reached down, grabbed the ball, put in our pocket, and went back to work. How does one become an Augusta employee? So I got hooked up through University of South Carolina. I studied sport and entertainment management, and they hire like 1,000 kids or so. you know, to go and work the tournament. So I did that for a couple years.

And even after I've graduated, you know, I just get hired on through Augusta, HR directly. So you're just your real job? You just tell them like, hey, once a week, I just work at Augusta? Yeah, I save all my PCO and just take like 10 days off and go down. So I'm leaving Friday. I'll get to Augusta Friday, do training, and I'm just there for the week. That's unbelievable.

Excuse me, guys, not going to be here tomorrow. I'm just going to go to heaven real quick. Pop back in a Monday. See you all in a little bit. I'll bring you back some azaleas, don't worry. It goes to heaven for 10 days. Yeah. Yeah, that's exactly it.

But it's awesome. I always bring stuff back for, like, my clients and stuff. They love it. So I always come back with tons of merch. Ooh, the merch is... You got to come back with merch. You don't come back with merch so you didn't even go there. Oh, I have dozens of...

Like, I get uniform shirts, jackets every year. I've got tons of stuff. You ever picked in Azalia? I'm just like... I have not. Put in a base. I mean, that's how you get your hand chopped off. That is that you guys.

You say vase or Voss? Exactly. Yeah, yeah, I don't want to get fired, you know, trying to steal stuff from there, obviously. I am. That's smart. Depending on the, like, what, sometimes I think Voss. You're a snobby term guy. You're saying Voss.

Is it the right way to say? But I think I've said vase and then, like, Voss, like. Is it the right way to say? There was an ad read that we had to do a while back, and the vase was in it. And the first time I read it, I went through and I just said vase. So I was committed to Vase after that. But every time I would read it, I would think, do people think I'm a dumbass for not saying Vaz? I think it's Vaz.

How is it spelled? This might sound stupid, but I would have sounded stupid. This might sound stupid. I would have had an answer if you hadn't asked me. Like, now I can't decide. You would have said vase right out of the game? I would have known my answer if you would have been like, what is this? And my answer would have been that.

Now I can't decide what it is. Alex, what do you say, Vase? I say Vase. When I hear Voss, I think of that, you know, special water that people care. Yeah. You know. Yeah, Voss. All right.

Hey, good luck in Augusta this year. Have fun. Bring home a Tiger W for us. Oh, definitely will. All right, man. Have a good one. Thank you. I think I save Vase.

Thanks, I think I say Vase. What he's just got Phil Nichols with balls. That's so cool. We got to work there. It's awesome. I never thought of that like when we went there, but there's people that work there. You don't think of it.

People have been here for a week. They just get to walk around these grounds, do whatever the hell they want. I'm sure there's a good community, too, of people that, like, do what he does and have done this now for like 10 years. You go have some beers. Well, yeah, for sure.

You got to be on your best behavior. I don't know if they have beers. Everybody that talks about it is like, dude, we have to work 6 a.m. until, like, midnight. You don't think, like, orientation people are excited to see each other that do some training, maybe some beers before everybody gets there? Gasta doesn't feel like the place where, like, all the employees are, like, having beers like a day before they've stolen them. I don't know. I feel like maybe volunteers can't make eye contact with each other. Can't believe I even ask him if he's ever stolen a flower?

Can you imagine trying to do that? Imagine if he had said yes. Every single is accounted for. It also never occurred to me that people, like, had, people that work there have ever or are allowed to do anything else ever but just worked there. Like, I've always imagined they were just born and raised into that, and that's just what they do. Like the clones in Star Wars. Yeah.

It's like, no, that's just what they do. Same thing is Disney. They have the same feel. You walk through Disney. You can't believe people fucking work there. Yeah, I agree. Like you see Mickey Mouse as a guy in there. Everything.

What? Back up. You can't believe that? No, it's just like you just don't think of that. You don't think that people are at work. Oh, you don't. That's Mickey Mouse. That's not what I meant.

Frank's like, that's Mickey. That's not what I meant. You don't think of it as like a 9 to 5. You can't believe that. Like, they get out of their car and they go and like become Mickey. Actually, son, that guy gets paid $8 an hour. It's kind of a political hot button issue right now. It's not really Mickey Mouse.

Yeah, no, I know what you're saying. It's like you're at Augusta. You're not even thinking about the guy behind the concession stand that like literally got out of his like Toyota Camry and just like pumping out some blue drink. They are. Like you don't think of that. You're right. You don't think of that. Toyota Camry in the parking.

not that they make invisible. Nobody actually sees that happen. It doesn't exist. Like, there's a guy who's pushing me down into small world. He's sitting behind a little button. He's like, I have fun. So, Lurge, you've never been to the Masters? No.

The people that worked out of it, yeah, I know. It's such a, such a... I can do that. Could you step outside for a few minutes? Yeah, go get some months of that. I'm allowed to do that. That's amazing. That's like, I feel like we're on the Titanic

and you're from down the below part with Jack Dawson's from. Yeah. There's water. Water's at your nipples. No, I'm first to die. For sure. How'd you end up? These snobs are up top, getting ready for, like, your boat.

I'm trying to, like, block the water from coming in my door. How'd you end up here, son? That's how I feel like talking to you. How did you get through those gates that we closed on you people? Great. I'm that last guy that's, like, running up the stairs, and then the door closes. Sorry. And then I'm spanking against the glass.

It's not a good ending for any of us. No. Not a happy story. No, we're all in tough shape. Yep. Especially if that old bag is sitting on the ice and she doesn't take any one over there. ruthless. Just ruthless.

Sad times. What I was going to say, the people that work there are like the nicest people in the planet. Crazy nice. Oh, it's unbelievable. Where are you from, son? Like, oh, my goodness.

I want to tell you everything where I'm there. I'm going to talk to you all day and then she's just on to the next person. Yeah. It's very nice. That is. Sounds lovely. Let's go to Brennan.

Hey, Brandon. What's up? Igsy. What's going on, boys? How you doing? You got to be from Canada. I am. Let's give it away.

Let a call. Where in Canada? Just outside Toronto. This is Fogg, Ontario, home of Johnny T. There. knew that was coming. I already made a face when he said it. It's all right. I mean, I had Johnny T for nine years, enjoy.

Yeah, he's been pretty good this year. But unbelievable. I was going to say, that's an unbelievable understated. Like career high in points, 47 goals. It might have 50 goals. It's incredible. He's healthy as ever. He just didn't want to play on the island, that's all.

Brandon, what do you got from? Martin. Martin are doing well for you there, really. And the island's doing great. That's why, that's why, you know, that's... They're actually, there. Yeah, that's... This guy's lucky Frankie's not on the button.

This guy would have been gone. I was kind of sitting back right now. I'm just letting this come. I want to hear his Augusta story, so I'm letting him go. All right, Brendan, let's hear your Augusta story, pal. Yeah, so I actually have two quick ones. First one that I send me email there. So, as you know, Rigsian and Trent, you guys have been, obviously, down to Augusta.

the washrooms down there are super secretive. You can't really find them and all of a sudden they're there and they're just these beautiful buildings. So you walk in and I'm there with my dad who was in his 40s at the time. I was like 18 my grandpa as well. It's in the 70s.

So we're waiting in line and all of a sudden we hear this huge black guy yelling out to everyone. All right fellas, one shake is all it takes and boy the line was moving. So I mean, Augusta's just figured out everything.

I heard you guys on the podcast talking about their website and the Twitter just ramping it up. Do they ever miss a beat? No, I remember the bathroom experience being something as, as like when I walked in, I was told something. The guy was cracking jokes walking around. Like if someone was taking too long, he's like, come on, we got people waiting, like shake it up.

Like I remember like everyone laughing, like throwing the guy a couple dollars. The whole thing is a well-oiled machine. Yeah, when you're next up in line, too, they usually go two left, four right, and that's like your stall that's open and then you roll in there and then like they're also keeping tabs on how long you've been standing there and that's when they're like one shake that's all it takes and then you're like

well I gotta shake this thing up and get going sometimes you freeze what happens with that it's like you're looking back like sir I can't get it out back of the line I don't know you keep I just took a Roman I can't feel anything down there I can't play there's roaming things got

I'm ready to go no it's super intimidating totally agree it's very intimidating but you're right to the bathroom and the concessions, for the most part, they come out of nowhere. You can't even tell they're there,

and then all of a sudden, like you said, it's like there's like a beautiful wooden cedar cabin that's painted green out of nowhere, and all that's in there is just toilets. It's like the most beautiful building on the golf course, and it's just toilets. They just do it so well.

And like you said, with the website and all that, we were saying, too, like the, it's like with their website, their app, their Twitter account, they just go dormant, like the, like the Transformer, Like in the Transformer movies where they're dormant, like thousands of years. And then all of a sudden when it turns into April, boom, they just come the life.

Everything comes to life. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Couldn't agree more. That's amazing. Great analogy. Thank you. Appreciate that.

Rigsianology. I also have another quick story. That same day, 2012 Masters, this is one like, well, 40 couples is always in it. But this was on the Saturday, and he was leading. And he gets up to the first tee, and you realize he doesn't have a ball. marker and he's looking around to the crowd and says, hey, does anyone have a marker? I pull out

a penny, Canadian penny. Come on. Pothed it over to him. Yeah. Yeah, he shot 69 or 68 that day and he looked at the penny. He was like, oh, Canada, thanks. Get the fuck out. That's unbelievable. No way. Yeah. Yeah. I love every piece of that story.

I love Freddie couples. That was not too, too long ago that it did really well. What year was that? It would only be. It would only be Freddie couples who would be, like, so relaxed about not having a ballmarker. You're just going to ask the crowd. Also, somebody not having a barmarker, I would scoff at that person on the first, like, Brett, office manager, Brett, who we work with. Like, he's the kind of guy.

Every time you play with you get to the first grade, he's got no ballmarker in sight. The fact that that's Freddie Couples and the Masters is unbelievable. Yeah, yeah. It was awesome. I feel like his cat who should have brought an extra. Yeah, you think so. That's a great story. Also, Brennan, you got to lead with that one next time.

That's what I was going to say. It was incredible. I was trying to, you know, make myself stand out more, and I felt the washing one was one that would stand out. But, yeah, yeah, next time. No, that's a great story. I love it. Freddie, the fact that he shot that,

the next time you see you, you got my penny, man. Yeah, seriously. Just take a piece of the winning. All right, Brennan. Hey, good luck to the Leafs, except not really because I bet on the Bruins to beat him in the first round. I got the Leafs. See you, buddy. All right.

Thanks, guys. He goes, oh, fuck you, Rick. I kind of like that he actually finished with the Freddie Couple story. Yeah, I mean, that's the hammer. It's like, you lull us to sleep with a good bathroom story. We've obviously been there, and it is like that. But then he's like, oh, by the way, I give Freddie couples a Canadian penny. He flipped him a corner of the first team, Freddy goes, oh, Canadian.

It's like something you see in a movie. Do you think he perfectly flipped it? Like, nobody toss it. No, I bet he, no, it flipped and it rotated perfectly. It's slow motion. Everybody's like. I'm stunned that doesn't need to be, like, approved or anything, like, on the golf course. Like, you know, I don't know.

Like, they have to, like, you know, they show the balls. Like, I didn't know you could just use anything from like. You do have to be like, I'm using this ball and it's got my marking on it. Like this ball marker. Well, that's probably what they did. He might have been doing that on the first two with the other golfer. Like, oh, shit, I don't have a ballmarker. Freddy's like, I have this Canadian.

Anybody got one. Here's your Canadian ball marker. Here we go. Right. But you have said that that place is the most well-oiled machine. The merchandise tent, you said, is unbelievable. Ever. Everything about it. Every nook and crannies.

It's the one, they're all great, but the concession is what it is. It needs, they need some sort of award, how smooth they run. Yeah. It's just, it's something you probably couldn't do at any other sporting event, but you basically just walk through this tunnel and why the time you're out the other side, you have what you want it. I don't know how to explain it any other way. They've got a brain, like brain magnet, and you're like, he would want six seven things.

Like you don't have to ask anybody for anything. It's all out there already. So you just grab it off these countertops, and then you pay, and it's all super cheap. There's a concession stand. There's a person at the end, and she's waiting or he is waiting. waiting for you to pay. And as you go on your way, someone is filling up all the stations that you're choosing from. So if I'm at, like, the pimento cheese and the blue sports drink stuff, someone is behind that counter pouring blue sports drinks and making pimento cheese.

But there's already one already made. So I just grab it, grab the sports drink, go up, pay, and I'm gone. It's like a constant evolving. That's another thing, Lurch, is there's no Gatorade, Powerade, Bud Light. It literally says blue sports drink. And then it says domestic beer. And then it says, what, international or imported beer? Imported beer.

Those are the only things that it says. It's amazing. It's amazing. I drank eight of all time. I drank eight of all time. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I drank eight sports drinks, three pimento cheese sandwiches. I honestly thought I was just going to drop dead.

I had so much drink. It's all so cheap, but it's delicious. A dollar 50 for a pimento cheese. Also, like the lemonade that you get there, it's just colder than any lemonade. What's the ice cream? Like the peach ice cream? Oh, man. The peach ice cream?

The flowering peach ice cream? Something like that. Yeah. Whole number three, we just did that. Crab Apple. We were just going through, folks, if you're out there, try to think off the top of your head how many names of holes you can decide, like 12, for example, is Golden Bell.

Try to just think off the top of your head while you're a little mental exercise. How many names of holes can you think of out there? While you're doing that, let's go to Patrick. Patrick, what's up? I said, Amy McQuarer. It's not even a hole. No, it's just a corner. Yeah.

everyone's polite down there as you guys know so we just left our seats and then walk around all day so then we came back down it was a nice you know, April day, and we decided we were going to wear flip flots. We didn't need to wear, obviously, golf shoes like some of the other amateurs. We were just chilling out there. We were front row on the ropes. And we were sitting out there for a little while. One of my buddies looks at me, he was like, I'm going to get, you know, really bad flip flot's hand. So he takes his shoes off. We're like, all right, so we did the same thing. No more than five minutes later, a guy comes up in a green jacket and looks at us. He's like, boys, I'm going to have to ask

you to put your shoes back on. He was like, we just got wearing your fever on TV. He was like, we can't have bare feet on TV at Augusto. We were like, holy shit. Like, sorry about that, man. Oh, my God. I mean, I think you're lucky they didn't come at you with the chloroform and drag you off the course. Well, I mean, when they were asking, I mean, when he came walking at us, I mean,

our heart rate was going. We were like, holy shit, what did we do? Yeah. We're about to get kicked out. I know it's a feet. It's a feet. You've got ugly feet. Your feet suck.

Put something on your feet. Paint them green. Do something. And it was just like what you guys were talking about, you know, a couple weeks ago, it was like, they just a piece of it. carried out of nowhere. Like, this marshal was in a green jacket. We were like, holy shit.

Like, what do we do? And, of course, you bought the badges from, you know, someone else. There's someone else's name is on it. We're like, we're going to get this guy kicked out. Like, just because, you know, whatever we were doing, like, holy shit. But he's really nice about it. We're like, all right, cool. Put our flip-pops back on.

Imagine what that war room was like, like, we got feet on 12, bare feet on 12, and then just fucking somebody comes out of the clouds. Guy points to his ear, like, got him on radio. Like, God, I'm be over there in two minutes. We'll be fine. Sure not. cleaned up the issue flip flops are back on the bare feet covered it all up toes are still out flip flops are on the mission has been completed unreal there's no doubt about it that's awesome good for you what what year did you guys go is that last year

Yo. Yo, are we on the record right now or no? Oh, yeah. Nice. Shout out of easy. Nice. Nice and a big pause. Nice.

We're here. Well, I just, you know, I need to watch my mouth with names, you know? Totally. No, that's fair. What's, uh, what's go? I did like that. Your answer, you just go. Oh, nice.

Nice. Yeah. You know, good to know. Yeah. What's, uh, what's up? You got any Augustine National story for us? Yeah. So I guess I'll just start with, uh, I guess the first one.

So, so the years I went there were 20. were 2014 and 2015. So 14 is when speed hit in the water on 12. And then he ended up coming back and winning it the next year. But that 14 year, so we were there with a member and you get to go out and put your chairs down. I'm sure you guys have talked about the chair. Oh, yeah. And the whole, it's like the most respectful thing in sports.

It's actually so ridiculous when someone's in your chair and you go and say, hey, buddy, like my name's in the back of this, like get up. But so we get to go out an hour before they open up the floodgates. for all the fast walkers. So we get down in Aeman Corner. Like we always, that was what we do. We'd go down 10, go down 11, and then there you are at 12, and that we'd put our chairs first row right behind the T-box.

So at Sunday, you know, speed was kind of rolling, then kind of got a little bit chopped up in the middle of the round. So he is on his way, you know, into A Man Corner and me and my buddy and, you know, we're having a hell of a day. And, like, they have that, you know, the bar right behind you at A. corner for for members and so we were just going back and forth back and forth and we have like a stack of cups like I don't know eight or 10 deep you know and the leaders have even gone to 12 yet and like kind of out of nowhere like this guy like kind of is just like rolling at her feet right and we like oh

she's like who's oh it's the camera guy and he's like hey guys like just the heads up like you know the leaders are coming through so we're going to need you to move those cups from the front of your chair to the back of your chair and it's just like you know that's a good point you know Jim Nance talking about. Here comes Jordan's beef, and you've got two guys with, like, 10 cups underneath their feet. Couple patrons with too many cups. Can't have that?

Yeah, patrons. Yeah, correct. Not people patrons. And that was the same day we did, like, I guess I don't know if this is a thing, but we kind of thought it was. We did, like, the sandwich slam. So, like, we had each, like, one of their sandwiches, and we had to do it 10 minutes.

And I, like, didn't do the pimento cheese first, which I don't know why I did it. But that was, like, at the same moment where, you know, eight or ten azaleas then and here we are having those cementsor cheeses. But anyway, I think that was probably the best encore story. I don't know if you guys remember that up and down

Jordan's feet made in 2015 on Saturday on 18. Oh yeah. So you do, like that was, so I was right there. Like we had to move our chairs because that's where we put our 18, our chairs on 18 or right there. I just remember being like there's no

fucking way this guy is making a five. Yeah, he went deep right on a back right pin it was it was just yeah so like that was probably like the best shot we got to see at augustin like august is just the most beautiful place in the world but i i guess our the best like member story if you will is so saturday night like the big member dinner um and so me and my buddy like you know we got asked to go you know with a friend from school um you know and like i'm buffalo new york i like you know i have zero business being in augustin national club let alone let alone Saturday night at Augusta like they're member dinner. So, you know, we show up there and,

you know, we have a few drinks and we're getting into it, mixing up. And like, I got nothing to losing there. Like, what, you know, nothing's getting back to Buffalo. So I'm just mixing up with these guys, you know, Rex Tillerson's there. And it turns out, like, I remember like, oh, I remember that guy. He was at Augusta. So we're at the same table as Connoisseurice, like they're at the end of the table and it's, you know, the family I was with right there. And there's one like old grizzle, just a beauty, southern memory. He's probably been a member like, you know, his whole family. He's probably like the third generation.

He comes up to our table and he's just like, to me and my buddy, he's like, who the fuck are you guys? And it's just like, yeah, I have no idea. Like, I don't know. I don't know. That's a great question. And like, turns out this is, this is your speed win. So big boys, like, they're shooting so low.

It's, I think like, they might have been like at 13, you know, at Saturday night maybe. Because I think he won it. Maybe 18. You guys would know. He probably have it in front of you. But. So he was actually on the pin committee or whatever they want to call it. So he's the guy who goes out there.

He sets the pins every morning. And he was like, you know, once he kind of just chirped us and, you know, what, you know, got past that, he started talking to the member we were with. He's like, he's like talking about like he's going to be in such shit. If like he didn't put pins out there Sunday where like they can kind of like, you know, keep their chin up or something. Like he was actually under pressure. He's like, yeah, like we went out there on Saturday.

We thought we tucked pins. And like, you know, the leaders at like 13 or something. But it was just unbelievable. Like this guy was so rattled about like the scores these guys were putting up and just the pins he was putting, I guess, were just kind of just getting kind of tore up. So that was kind of like, let alone him being like, what the fuck are you guys doing? I love that because every event, even our good friends, the USDA, even in Augustine National, they always claim like, no, we don't care what they shoot.

It's totally fine. Oh, no, no, no. Oh, no, no. You do not come to our golf course and rip that shit up, not in front of our fun. fucking face. There's no chance. Yeah. So that night, you know, we end up, like, next thing you know, I'm, like, looking around the place is just empty. Like,

that's Saturday night. So we closed down Augusta National's bar, and it wasn't even that late. We're like, what the hell are we going to do now? And you guys know, Augusta, like, there's nothing. Nothing. So it's like, I don't know. I think, like, we saw, like, John Dealey's, like, he's at Hooters. So they're like, all right, like, let's

go to Hooters. It's just unbelievable. Like, we have an Uber pick us up. He, like, comes down Magnolia. pick this up. He's like, where are you guys going? Or he's like, or he like said the name and he was like, Hooters?

Like, yeah, Hooters. Like, that must be the only Uber trip ever from Augusta National other Hooters. But it was just, uh, the old, the old Uber down Magnolia lane from Augusta to Hooters. That's pretty awesome. I got to do the drive because the family stayed on the course and,

you know, we stay at the house that they rented. So I like, you know, I like, and I'm like, I'm like, I'm the driver, right? you know, any trip you go on, there's like, there's the driver, right? Like, this guy is just handling. And I was like, I was the turtle. I'm like, I'm like, I'm driving. And everyone's like, why does this guy want to drive?

And I'm like, you know why I want to drive because I want to make the left. Down Magnolia. Flash a badge. And here we go, like sneaky, sneaky film it. But that is probably, yeah, like turning left in the Magnolia is something I'll never, I mean, I know I'll never do again. I love it. That's awesome, Anthony.

That's a very cool story. We appreciate you calling him. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No problem, guys. And good luck with you guys. You guys have been killing it.

It's true. And it's golf season. You got a big summer out of you. Huge summer. Just got to get these elbows right. Yeah, get Frankie's elbows and cranking will be good. No, Frankie, how far the island is going, dude? It's going to be a battle, but I like our chances against Pittsburgh if you give me home ice.

So I'm not going to say anything past first round, but I think we're going to be okay. All right. I don't see Sib losing the first round. All right. That took a little time. Just a dagger on the way out. I just got Canadian also. I love it, Anthony's from Buffalo.

Appreciate the call. Enjoy Masters Week. Yep. I mean, he kind of... They want to be Canadian. He kind of big. I like that he called himself Turtle. That was nice.

He's like, you know, who's always the driver? He called himself Turtle, like from Montrash. That's a nice little reference there. That was a great reference. Yeah. That's a great call. What a cool story. Matt, I like that he talked about the Pins Committee.

Yeah. That guy was on the Pins Committee. The Pins Committee. That guy fucking works all year long. Like, what pins are we going to go with? But they're generally always the same, right? I mean, you know, Sunday. Sunday seems to be pretty much the season.

Sunday, they're, you know, probably 70% of the holes are usually the same. They do mix it up from time to time. They definitely do mix up. Is that like a stunning moment where it's like, whoa? Yeah, I mean, you'll see, right, like we all have in our heads that traditional Sunday pin location on 18. Yes. Right? Like at the bottom of that hill on the left side, just,

over that left bunker. I can see Sergio going at it right now. Yep. And there are some clips that you can find when you go back and rewatch these where they throw a wrench in and it's like back right on side. That's wild. Yeah. So like I wouldn't be shot.

I feel like one of those is coming pretty soon. Really? Now obviously like. You feel like A men cornerst, 11's back left always. No, they mix that up on Sunday. On Sunday? Yeah. I feel like that's always back.

See, I think that one they mix up. That might be true. Always on the right. Has it 11? Yeah, 12 is always on the right. Front right sometimes? On Sunday? Maybe not Sunday.

But you're right. I do think it's mostly back left. Is that where it is? Like on the water? Yeah, because they get to play that ridge if you can aggressively go out of it. The only thing I know about is like that hill that stops the patrons from seeing it. Huge mound. When you're at Augusta, you can't imagine that the mound that really pushes balls towards the water and like no one really realizes it.

I mean, I'm not good with heights and stuff, but I'd say it's 11 feet high. No joke, Lurch. You can't see the front half of the green when you're standing to the right of the green because the mound is so big. feet high. It's honestly amazing because everybody goes there, talks about, like, how hilly and, like, just the, just, it's just way different than what it looks like. A ski slope. And people talk about, people talk about 13, too, and how hilly 13 is coming around the corner,

which you kind of see, but you don't really, well, you certainly don't fully appreciate it. So it's on my bucket list to get down there. I think eventually I'll get down there, and I can't wait to see it. You think? The approach shot on 13. We're hoping so. Okay. The approach shot on 13 is legit a, a, it's a baseball swing.

Yeah. Like, it's not just, oh, you have a little bit of a hook lie. It's a baseball swing. The ball is at your hip. I think the biggest thing for me when I was walking out there, I think it probably was everyone because it's your first experience is like when you walk past those first couple of merch tents and you get to like that first experience of all the green and you can see the whole entire golf course almost. And you look at it one and you're just like, I can't believe that that's where they play golf.

Like that's actually where they're hitting the shot. Because the stuff that you're standing on and walking on is the same as like the fair way it looks like. Everything's just one green. layout. It's crazy. There was a moment, too, when we were there, I think it was like Thursday or Friday round, and it was late in the afternoon on the Thursday, Friday round, and everybody had gotten past the front night, so nobody was on the front night.

We were kind of watching guys, and we decided, like, all right, we got to take off. We had to go do, like, an after show or something like that. And so we are leaving, and we were walking across the crosswalk on two. Yep. We were, like, maybe that crosswalk is probably 100 yards out on two. That huge dog leg left down to the, or, yeah, huge par five dogway left. and we're standing out there, and we kind of walked, like,

a little bit off of that walking path, because there's no ropes in the walking path. Like, you just walking path. And we were just like, dude, we're just standing at this point in the middle of the fairway on the second hole at Augusta National during a tournament round.

Yeah. And we just stood there with, like, we were finishing up, like, a blue sports drink. And fucking standing there. My body was shaking. I just had 15 blue sports drinks. Yeah.

We just walked, like, ten yards off. And now, we're like, dude, we're just standing in the middle of the fairway. Like, the green. is 60 yards away from us. We're standing in the middle of the fairway. I remember reaching down and taking a couple of pieces of grass, blaze of grass, put my pocket, and I didn't do anything with it.

I just had grass in my pocket. I remember that being like a weird thing I did. Rory said when he first played, he was like afraid to take a divot. I mean, the place is just majestic. It's perfect. It's going to be a great time to read the submission from Sam, who couldn't call in. This is a little bit sad, but also it's very sentimental.

Sam, who couldn't call him, but he did send me this story, and I responded. I was like, that's an incredible story. Briggs he submissions. He said, right as my grandfather's health was beginning to fade, I finally took him to the 2016 Masters, which was his first time. He passed away on Masters Sunday in 2017 the following year. And then the year after that, Sam snuck his grandfather's ashes into the 2018 Masters and left some at 8-minute corner. Oh, God.

Wow. How amazing of a move is that. That guy's tremendous. Who's this guy? Sam. Sam. Holy smokes. How incredible of a move is that.

That was heavy. That's incredible. Good for him. That's really cool. You made a Ricky nickname joke and then it took a real serious turn. He got that through security? Yeah, I think, yeah, it's just cell phones and stuff that they do. So, you know, I don't know what he had the ashes in, but yeah.

Isn't that an incredible move? Here I am, like, giving you the finger in the booth for giving Rigsie another name. And then I got that story coming. Then I'm like, I hope this is a movie. I know it is. Yeah, that's a great story. It's an awesome move. It's an unbelievable move.

Spread a couple in A-min corner. I'm a little surprised you're not crying, Frankie. Yeah, I mean, it's the elbows. The pain's really stopping me, but that was hell of a story. Shut up your tear ducts. Hell of a story. Hell of a story. That's something where, that's a place I'd want to be sprayed.

Put me there. Sprade? What are you out of a gun? Was that the wrong thing? Spread. Spread. All right. Sprade.

Sprade. They don't put you in a water gun. Yeah. And then shoot your ashes across the fairway. Although I will say, if they did do that, it'd be twice. Totally doubt for that. Would you get sprinkled? Like, what's the term?

Spread. Spread. Spread ashes. Spread them. So the sprayed is not a form of spread? You spray your ashes? I don't think so, right? That's where I want to be sprayed.

This is different, but spread fertilizer, you kind of just put it around. You don't spray fertilizer. You don't shoot it. All right. I think you might. I thought, like, being, I think you spray fertilizer. Yeah, I think you do. Yeah, they have little machines that you put on the back of, like, a TV or, you might be.

tractor. It goes right. My question is, that's spreading. You can't, you don't spray. You don't spray. You don't spray ashes. No. Spray is spray. Spray makes me think of liquid. Okay. Spreading is much more romantic. I will say this. But they're the same form of the word, right? Also, spread has more control in the term. Where spray sounds like you're just spraying. Frankie Bradley is hitting a west. Exactly. Where spread is like, you're hitting a nice little, like you know it's going on the green. You're spreading them on the green. Right. Like, spray, if you, I spread the ball on the green or I spray. No, it's this. Think about Frankie's spraying it off the tea today. You don't want that to be associated with spraying like somebody's ashes.

No, no. Great point. No, that's right. That makes it feel bad. I've got the official, like the official. As a verb, spray is to project a liquid into a dispersive manner. Holy smooth. While spread is to stretch out, open out, a material, etc. So that it's more fully covers a given area of space.

Nice. The dictionary just dunked on you. Well, you kind of nailed that. Yeah, you did. That was well done with a liquid test. Now, after all that discussion, let me tell you guys this. You can sneak a water gun into Augusta, and then you guys can, like, put my ashes into that water gun and spray it, Frankie-style all over a bit of a distance. You can get to the back.

Buddy, I might be on the green on 12. Imagine you put me on the green on 12. I'm just in the mix with the fertilizer and, like, you know, in the mojob and, like, part of the green, be unreal. Unbelievable. There's got a super soaker out there. I don't think that would be allowed. Super Sanger seems to grass. It doesn't feel very august either.

It's like these people start coming out like they're shooting out t-shirts at a game. All right, everyone, I want to see you up. Like everyone's like, let's go! Guys just like pushing out ashes, like, shooting them down towards A Man Corner. I don't want to take anything away from that story. That story was unbelievable.

We have really. We're talking about me here. Yeah, this is you guys shoot me. Correct. There's nothing to be taken away from that story. I'm glad you shared that. That story. I had to.

The pinnacle of every single golf fan. You know, dealing with this with your father and your grandfather or whoever, you have that connection with A. Man Corner and the fact that you're able to, they're eternally allowed to rest in A Men Corner. Are you kidding me? That's literally something out of like a book that you would write that almost seems so impossible that you can't write it.

Like a writer's room would be like, no, that's, you can't do that. I agree with that. And it's such a, like, anytime that now he's like thinking about his grandfather and it ties it. Every time you see Amen Corner. and a quarter. It's like a cool, positive, emotional experience. Just an awesome move from Sam. Every guy wants to last longer.

Facts. We'll stop you when you tell a lie. Every guy wants to last longer. That's not a lie. Keep going. But thinking about golf doesn't always work. Or the old toes trick. You ever try those?

Try them all. If you try to keep your toes straight instead of curl on them. Doesn't work either. as an old urban myth. Imagine me trying to think about my golf game. I'd start screaming. There'd be no more sex that bar. What's wrong, honey?

How's it going? Doing pretty well. I'm doing pretty well. I'm doing it. Great. Lurch is from New Jersey, too. That's why I gave a... Woo!

There we go. Ooh, baby. Gooo. Anyways, keep going. So what do you want to know about Augusta? Yeah, let me know what's hear your best Augusta National story. Let's hear what you got. You know, I don't have anything crazy.

Like I said, you know, Frankie is right. You know, the green jazz. packets around there. They make sure everyone's under control. But I worked in the golf shop for three years. I was there for the 2010, 2011, 2012 Masters. I would say, you know, probably the craziest thing I saw was just the sheer amount of money that people were dropping in the golf shop. One year, we had a guy come through and he bought 600 foldable chairs. It came to $18,000. What? Yep.

How many? Excuse me? 600. How did you guys fulfill that order? You did a tractor trailer to take them out of there? So actually, in the back of the golf shop is where they keep, they basically have like permanent tractor trailers there that are there for the entire week. So what we did was we basically just took, we didn't even bother taking them out of the boxes.

We kept, we slapped them right, kept in the boxes. And then UPS has a shipping. facility right there. So we basically got the guy shipping information. Kind of out, 600, and gave him to the UPS guys, and he shipped them out to, I believe,

but he owned a company. So he shipped them straight out to there. I was wondering what the... What's the end game? Yeah, exactly. So if he owns the company, maybe he's given him out to all of his employees. But I was like,

what's the use case with getting 600 shares? Yeah, we had a, there were a lot of guys who would come through and just absolutely annihilate their corporate cards, like guys who own businesses or, you know, sales reps and stuff like that, buying, you know, dozens of shirts, hats, it was crazy. Yeah, your little tax right off, business expense. So I was actually making a joke there about the tractor trip,

but it sounds like I was spot on. Yeah. That's amazing. No sense that wrapped six hundred chairs and send them out again. Yeah, but it was the first year that they had had, like, a more permanent facility to have some of the stuff there. I understand they rebuilt the whole golf shop, I think, in 2018 or something like that. But that was first year.

covered in green tarp. So if someone took an aerial picture, you'd have no idea what it was. Of course. Not the first time we've heard that. No, that's amazing. And you were saying, too, just like the efficiency of the operation and like how early and how late you guys worked through all that is insane? Oh, it's unreal.

So we were there every morning at 6 a.m. clocking in. And we had to be there. Usually it's around about 10 to get the next day set up. So you wound up working throughout the week probably close to I mean the three years I was there worked 99, 98 and 100 hours I mean so I had a question about this to a prior caller so are you did you go down for like training and everything on Friday I think and then you're there for the week is that are you in that same bucket or something different yeah so they do it I think about like a week or two before if I remember correctly you go down to basically have sort of it's not really a training it's more like a just an employee your orientation where they give you all of your shirts and stuff like that you have to wear and then uh the guy who headed up the golf shop operations kind of came and gave a little speech

just kind of talked to you about you know what the expectations were and all that but you uh you pretty much showed up and then they basically told you what to do and that was that is there any fun to be had for between workers during the time that you're there or is it just head down you're just working like a crazy person oh yeah it was uh it was awesome time i mean i still have friends that i made you know from people I knew that I was working there. Beautiful. And you definitely, you find time to sneak out every now and then. Like if you get the, you have lunch, you know, you'd take it out into the course and watch their golf. So basically, for the first five days of the tournament, you're basically, you're going nonstop, you know, from Monday to Friday.

By Saturday afternoon, the place is pretty much picked clean. So there's really nothing to do in the golf shop. So you would spend, you know, an hour or two out on the course Saturday and Sunday just kind of watching golf and walking around. Sweet. You ever play the course? No, so apparently if you worked there for five consecutive years, you got the opportunity to. I worked with a couple of guys who all did.

But once I graduated, it came back up to New Jersey, so I didn't get the chance. How did we never heard that? They're going to get a crazy amount of applicants after this. Yeah, so it was something that they don't really tell you, because I remember a guy told me, and he was like, yeah, I played here twice. And I was like, what the hell are you talking about? You played her twice.

It was like, no one's played this course. the other except for members and obviously And he goes, yeah, if you work here for five years, what they do is a couple weeks after the master's, you get like an invite basically in an email, saying you've been invited to spend a day at Augusta and you get to come down and play the course. Our first call I worked there for like 10 years.

I can't believe he's going to be bummed if he didn't know that was an option. Or maybe he knows and he didn't tell him. I was just going to say, oh, they know. They just don't tell you. Well, this guy, I apologize to Chris. Is that your name? Well, don't throw him out of the bus for Christ's sake, Lurch.

Well, no, but he said he didn't know about it even until... Yeah, he was just saying until it happens. I mean, I'm probably, I'm not working back there or don't have a shot in hell and playing the course. So, I mean, if me telling this information, you know, I don't think I'm going to be banned from there. That is very cool. We appreciate the information. Absolutely, guys. Enjoy the pot, keep with work.

Thanks, pal. Have a good one. Enjoy Masters' Week. See you. Something I always like to say, enjoy Masters' Week. People, they haven't got the dismount down yet. That guy said keep up the work. You know, I think you kind of catch them tongue-tied than I used to it.

That's why we got in the serious cheers debate. Yeah, you're right. This happens on radio too all the time. People don't really know how to start and people don't know how to finish. The rest of that, they're pretty good. Yep. That information that he just told us, I mean, we might not have a podcast next week. They're just going to roll up in here and be like, you guys can't.

Augusta's going to be like, you guys can't have that information. This is going to delete from the internet. Right. Whatever server or whatever this goes on is going to explode. Jake, something's going to. happen next week to this audio that you're just you're going to have no idea and to be like oh like what was that it's to be like well gus the national they just wished that this went away so it did yeah that's what happened especially like ibn's one of their big partners watson that motherfucker

it's work on guys dangerous jason and iowa riggsie how are you man good what's going on trent's clapping for you round of applause fellow iowa and love that let's go baby hell yeah what's that clap for, like for him surviving Iowa? Yeah, I mean, it's a tough place to grow up. So, you know, anybody who can survive. If somebody call in there like an Islander fan, you wouldn't like be happy? I don't give him a standing location. I just gave the Jersey guy a little

you didn't stand. You're being unfair. There's not a lot to clap for on the Islanders, so. Oh, yes. The Iowa guy. Let's go, Trent. Hey, go hawk, baby. Let's go. How are the Cedar Rapid? Who's like, who's a hockey team? The Cedar Rapids' Rough Rider. Shout out to

them. Trent would know better than me. What part of Iowa are you from? Well, I live in Iowa City right now. Okay. That's a big part. Isn't that big thing there? That's where the University of Iowa is. Okay.

That's what you guys came up with, Iowa City? Yeah. I mean, we live in New York City. Yeah, not a real good point there. Thank you for being on our side there when you definitely didn't have to be. They would have never come up with that comeback, Brigh. I didn't. I was just going to sneak into my chair and potentially try and sneak out of this.

They would have never. They would have never have that one. Never. potentially stuck out of the studios. I thought it was so weird when I have to write like New York, New York. I'm like, we couldn't have come up with something. I would rather write like Manhattan sounds like that. That's a good point.

Jason, you got to write Manhattan on like documents? No. Back to Jason. Jason, you got any good, you got any good Augusta stories for us? I can tell you all about about when I was there, boys. I got, I got lucky enough to go on a couple practice rounds. I got a Monday and a Wednesday pass back. back in 2009.

And it was just, I mean, it was just heaven on earth. The two days that I got to spend there, it was awesome. I walked in on Monday, and the first thing I saw was Baba. He was putting on 13. We kind of just made our way over to 14T because we figured he can't get around 13 green. And so we're hanging out there waiting for him to come over and hit some shots or, you know, tee off. the first thing I remember is his outfit, dude. He was outrageous.

He had this pink rhinestone belt on, huge, some ostrich-print shoes, and was just absolutely strutting across the course. It was a sight to be seen. But he came over and hit this drive, and that was the first thing I really, really remember, because this drive just, I mean, it was unlike anything I'd ever seen. I mean, I play golf my whole life and competitively as well. This ball took off like a fighter jet.

I mean, I just had never seen anything like it's so straight and so deep. It was crazy. So that was kind of the first thing I saw when I was in there. Tried to fall a tiger around a little bit that day, but it was pretty difficult to get close to him. We saw like hit a shot on four and then got to CMT off. on nine, but that was about it. Not a whole lot of craziness on Monday, but then Wednesday really was a lot better.

Wednesday, part three contest, we posted up on the sixth hole and just kind of let everybody go through because we were there early enough. And your guys' boy, former guest, good friend of you guys, Greg Norman, came through and knocked in a hole in one on the sixth hole there. Wow. The shock. And he sent the place into absolute pandemonium. Oh, what a hero.

I literally face to face with the shark given Chris Everett a kiss. I mean, reminiscent of Frankie watching Cochard get a whole one. But I mean, dude, it was so crazy. Like, you couldn't even believe it. Like, everybody just, it was like being at a sporting event when they score a touchdown or score goal to hockey. Like, everybody just turned inside to side and high fives.

and it was unbelievable. It was so cool. Wow. That is awesome. The shock. That's one of our guys. The shock. Oh, yeah, the shock.

I mean, he hit it, and he just hit it so crisp. I, like, it was just like a natural reaction to look up, and I didn't even mean to. I just like, beauty. I didn't know what else it's to say. It was just like, unbelievable. You just break into the accent a little bit. Beauty, mate. Oh, that was a strong mate.

No, that was a good mate. Yeah, do that again. I'm glad that came through with my Iowa. I'm watching a clip of that Greg Norman hole in one, and they do, they have the kiss on the video. Really? Like make out right there. He was so pumped. He was so pumped.

Bones it. Boom. Oh, wow. What a kiss. Go. Go shock. That's fantastic. Yeah.

Looking like Ricky making out after winning that sawgrass. Yeah, that's right. Frankie, do your Australian sentence? I'm going to hit a hole in one by the wallabee and the shock. It nailed it. Absolutely nailed it. That's kind of like wallaby and shark. Frankie has to put those together and then he sounds pretty good.

Yeah. There you go. All right, Jason. That was, can I give you one more thing? For sure. It's going to cost you. That happened in the par three.

That same day. So this is, that was Mr. Gary player. I believe you guys know him pretty well too. Yeah, close. Yep. I watched actually those two videos today

after I got the shout that I was going to be on. Wow, you're getting a little hype. You're doing the hype train. Oh, it was awesome. That guy's been a man. Oh, my God. It just looked crazy. Yeah, I was getting pumped up, you guys.

You have no idea. And so that was his last master's that he ever played in. So he did the par three tournament that week. And on nine, he knocked one in the water, re-tease, and then just holes out for a three. absolute legend Jesus, that guy is such a stuff. That's awesome. That guy is such a stud.

Yeah, I mean, that's just, he ain't going anyway. That's his good part. You wouldn't expect anything else. No, you wouldn't. Mr. Gary player, our good, close personal friend, Mr. Gary player. Well, you got some great, you got some great stories to that part three contest. That thing is so awesome. How about a week from right now, a week from today, we'll be watching the part three contest.

Hopefully, Tony doesn't roll his ankle against. It'll be good. That'd be huge. All right. Jason, we appreciate the call. Can I give one shout-out to my buddy, T.C., who got rained out a couple years back when he, I think it was 2017 when he went there. Man, that one year that it got rained out was the year he went and he had tickets for Wednesday,

the Part 3 when they got rained out. So shout-out to my boy, T.C. He didn't get to see it, but he loves you guys. And he'll be pumped that I said, what's up? So we were there that year. TC, I feel terrible for you. So he didn't get to see any of Augusta because it was rained out that day. Listen to how big of a legend he was for me.

I sent him with like $100 and said, just get me something sweet in the merch shop. And he goes in, you can't bring your phone. So we're like radio silence and it's like pouring. Like I'm watching the Masters, like on the Masters.com and it's pouring. They're like, we've decided to. suspend play. All spectators have to leave, all patrons have to leave, excuse me. I want to get that right.

Nice catch. And I was like heartbroken. I was like, no. T.C. isn't going to get to see it, but in the back of my mind, I was like, oh, damn, I'm not going to get any merch. T.C. came through in the clutch and got me and stopped by the merch store on the way out, and I will be forever grateful for that. Shout out T.

Shout out. Big time stuff by T. Better man than me. Yeah, way by many people are. No chance. I'm stopping there. Frankie's gone. You know how mad I'd be that I finally got to a gust?

Straight out the door. I know. It's like you finally get to Augusta. The fucking thing gets rained out. It feels like God's pissing on top of you. And you're like, oh, let me go stop in and get my boy something. It's like, that's a great dude right there. It's an unreal move.

Great, great stuff. Shout out. T.C., Jason. We appreciate the call. Thanks, you guys. Hey, I love what you're doing. And have a good one. Thanks, you too.

I already told Jason that the whole thing got flooded out. I'm like, you know what? All the merch was done. You should have seen it. Should have seen it. What have you came back with a shirt? I'm like, I got the last one. This thing happened to be floating by me.

It was like Noah's Ark down there, man. Should have seen it. I apologize. I hope you get there one year, but I just couldn't do it. Couldn't risk my life. I love the shoutout. I want more people to do shoutouts, just to random people. Yeah, me too.

Shout out to TC. It's like when you get on, oh, what's the guy's, was it shout out Tommy? Was that the kid from the drive chip and put last year two years ago. Remember that kid when Charlie Reimer asked him. Charlie Reimer asked him, well, yeah, you did really well. You're going to impress some of the girls that are watching back home.

He goes, I don't think any girls are watching, but shout out to my buddy Tommy. He was watching. Just the most rider-dog guy all the time. On real clip, we got to put that in here in that audio. It's so goddamn funny. So we'll find that. Third grade, right? Yep.

You think any of those girls in that third grade class are watching you on TV right now? No, but one of my friends Tommy, I think, is. Okay. That is no joke in the history of the Masters in Augustin National. That might be the best clip in the history of Augustin National. When that kid just goes, no, but I know my buddy Tommy is. God, I wish I could find it really quick because I want to know exactly what he said. Yeah, I want to, yeah, we got to find that.

It was the drive-chipping pot, which they do every Sunday. And it is just, it's one of the best clips of all time. Let's pull up Kevin, South Carolina. What's going on? Kevin. Hey, guys, what's going on? Hey, how are you? Yeah, I'm here.

I'm doing well. How are y'all doing? We're doing great. What's up? What's going on? What are you got from Augusta? Yeah, so I'm a third-year college student. So the last couple years through my program here at school, we have the opportunity to work the whole week, basically.

So we work like Saturday before until the end of the tournament. So, yeah, it's a long week. It's 17-hour days every single day. Wow. So, yeah, so it's a ton of work, but it's a lot of fun. And I was, yeah, I was in the trophy room, which is one of the members-only dining rooms in the main clubhouse. You can see a lot of cool things, a lot of behind-the-scenes things like Bobby Jones's clubs are in there, which is really neat from like the 30s. What are those things?

It's pretty cool. Oh, they look perfect for the Hickory Stick Chat classic, that's for sure. Yeah, yeah, no. But they're really old. I don't even know how to describe it. old wooden clubs. There's this, there's this, like,

mural of Dwight Eisenhower, who is, like, the only president to ever have been a member, and it follows you around, like, it's the damn Mona Lisa in there. Like, you can't go anywhere in that dining room without, without Dwight Eisenhower following you. Just staring at you?

Yeah, just absolutely staring at you no matter where you go. So what else goes on in that trophy room? What's going on there? Who's coming through there? Like, what are you, like, guardant? Like, you're a damn security guard? Like, what's going on? Oh, no, no. It's a dining room.

So I was just a food runner. So I brought food out to, two other members and their guests and everything. So, you know, the first Thursday they have the, they have, you know, Jack and Gary tea off. And then they, you know, the ceremonial tea off or whatever. So Gary comes in, you know, for breakfast right off the tea. You know, he's got a horde of people following him. We're about to get slammed. So I bring his food out to his table and I get there.

And he's got bacon on his plate. And he stops me and says, you know, this is wrong. I don't eat bacon, so I say, okay. And then I scramble. I'm looking for like a tray or a player. I've never, it's Gary Player. I, like, my brain goes like completely what I have no idea what to do. So he's like, you know, why don't you just eat it? And I was like, okay, so he just places it in my hand. I walk back out of the dining room into the kitchen with Gary Player's bacon, and then I eat it. And then I think to myself, God, that's one of my favorite foods ever that's just ruined for me now, because every time I eat bacon, I'm going to think

about the fact that I once ate Gary Player's strips of bacon. So that was a pretty cool story. Those are kind of people that come in, like, for meals and stuff, players and members and stuff like that. That's kind of funny. Here I am. Gary Players Bacon. Gary says, why don't you eat it?

And then he gives it to you and you eat it. That's fucking great. You know, it's such a Gary move. Like, he legitimately doesn't. He, like, there's certain stuff. He said that, like, I would love to enjoy a hamburger or cheeseburger. I can't eat cheeseburgers because, like, otherwise I'd be dead by now. He says, same thing about bacon.

He's like, you can't. That's why when I told him, he's like, what's your diet? I was like, a cheeseburger every day, sauce, shaking cheese for breakfast. And then he almost died because he was laughing so hard. I told a joke about it. I was like, you should be dead by now. And we thought we killed Gary Player. He laughed so hard.

Trent made a very basic joke. He goes, yeah, it's amazing. Riggs isn't dead by now. And then Gary Player, no one's ever laughed harder than Mr. Gary Player laughed. We thought we ended up there right there. I've never been filled with so much joy and so much anxiety at the same time. I was like, I love that someone's laughing at my joke, but I don't want to kill a legendary golfer. Who else comes through there that's like anybody that you know that's like just incredibly

kind or like stands out, you know, anytime you were there as like, wow, that guy's just the fucking man or anything like that? Yeah, most of the members are like extremely nice for the most part. They're all really nice guys. Lynn Swan, who's a member, he's an extremely nice guy for most of the full-time staff. Like he'll feel like bringing stuff that he can sign and stuff. those kind of stories are really cool. The only member who actually introduced himself to me ever in two years was actually Roger Goodell,

who's a member of Augustine National and obviously the commissioner of the NFL. So he was there for dinner. The members reserved the room for dinner, and it takes like four hours because they're eating and then they drink all night and they talk and, you know, it's a real social event. So, you know, by the end of the night, there's really nothing for us to do. I mean, we brought out all the food. We're just kind of waiting on everybody to leave. but obviously, I mean, they're members at August National.

They could literally stay until 3 in the morning, and we just kind of have to stand there. So, yeah, so Roger Goodell and I kind of make eye contact, like, weirdly. Like, it's kind of weird because you don't know where to stare in this dining room without making eye contact with, like, a famous person. And he's just, like, standing up, like, he's been drinking, like, for a little bit. So he comes up to me and, like, a couple of the other guys working who are just kind of killing time until, you know, we have to do something. He goes, hey, hey, guys, how you doing?

And then he goes up to me and says, hi, I'm Roger. and I say, oh, hey, I'm Kevin, like, great to meet you. Like, in my head, I'm like, yeah, I know who the fuck you are. Like, you're Roger Goodell. I mean, that kind of stuff is really funny. But, you know, it's not always as, it's not always as courteous as that, you know, you got, you know, when, you know, the champion's dinner's on Tuesday, you know, that's not in our dining room, but a lot of the golfers come down, like, afterwards in their green jackets. And it's a big deal, like, and as soon as those golfers come in, like, speed will come in. in like Sergio, Phil, and whatever those guys come in.

I mean, the members just, like, swarm to them. I mean, it's insane. So, you know, I liked having Charles Sworkel's wife, like, snap her fingers in my face so I could bring more chairs to a table one night. That was actually pretty funny. Wow. Just a little whippersnap. She was actually, she was nice.

I mean, she was just like, you're just, like, when you're, like, surrounded by that much, like, wealth and, like, status, it kind of makes you think about your own life, like, outside of the That's just like, wow. Like, it's just hard to even think about being in the presence of people that rich, like, that successful. Like, it's just bizarre. So, yeah, that was kind of funny. What's the scene like on their, like, normal dinner nights?

I mean, are they, you got, like, are there known guys? You're like, oh, this guy's here until fucking 3 a.m. crushing wine every single time. Oh, I don't know if there's a specific member who's, like, kind of that notorious. But I know we have to be on high alert whenever the former chairman, Mr. Payne, is in there, because he has a very specific drink that he orders for dinner. And it can only come in, like, a specific glass. And there's only, like, four or five of them on the property.

So wherever he goes for his meals, it's just like a scramble to get those glasses. That seems a better. Yeah, I can see that. Yeah, so it's like, I don't know exactly what it is. It's like a jack and orange juice, like, a couple other things. But, yeah, so it's cool to. like kind of see the behind the scene stuff at August National because like I

I mean I had never been there obviously never been there as a fan just been there to work and it's kind of wild to to go there for sure let me ask you this where do you where do you park okay so yeah we park on Washington Road and obviously you guys have been to Augusta like with the first time you drive up when you've never

been to Augustin you drive Washington you're like wow this place is kind of a shithole like where is like the nicest golf course like in the country maybe in the world. And so you park on this parking lot in Washington Road, and then they bring out like these nice shuttles, like Mercedes-Benz shuttles. They basically drive you into the woods, and then all of a sudden, they just drop you off at

like the main clubhouse. So it's almost like it's hard to describe how you get there. Like you walk in the clubhouse and you're like, I don't even remember exactly like leaving the main road and getting into the club because it's like. That's exactly what I would have guessed. That's amazing. Yeah. That's just so good. It's like when you're texting and driving, like you're not, which you're not supposed to where you look down and all of a sudden you look up

like how did I just get here how did I just do these lights? How many lights did I go through? How many? Like what did I? Wait, you're looking around like what the fuck

you look in your rear of mirror it's just like a pop apocalypse movie behind you. Oops. Oops. But man, I really updated the boys on the islander

my thoughts on the islanders game. No, I don't know if that specifically is what he was explaining but that's what I thought about. That's amazing. I just spit a little bit of love a lady. You saw that.

Kevin, that's very cool. you got the behind the scenes i like that yeah awesome thanks for having me on guys you got it thanks pal have a good night have a good one a late a late whoops is all time what whoops like something uh whoops something awful just happened behind me but i'm fine because i'm kind of going full that whoops is just for you just to be like i know i fuck we're good you think when they bring that one off i know i when they bring him that glass you think he says bring me the pain yeah he doesn't seem like a roll with a punches kind of guy but bring me the pain he's not like a he's not a he's not a he's not a

yes and guy he's not like he's like yeah yeah let's do it yeah let's make jokes he doesn't he just gets his drinking his silence how nervous are they when they run out of the pain glasses somehow somebody's getting on washing and road and getting some pain drink quickly you fucking walk in the back and there's like a new guy back there just sipping like sipping out of the glass like some ice cold lemonade like you put that shit right now and you start watching that thing because mr pain needs his drink they don't have like more than four or five billy pain glasses you need more glasses. You can't run out of Billy Payne glasses.

No. That's honestly, that just cannot occur. There should be more Billy Payne glasses than there are regular glasses. I think Billy Payne's one of the most powerful people in America? Oh, yeah. Like, I'm not even bullshitting. I mean, he's the most powerful, or he was, like, the most powerful person at, like, the most powerful club full of the most powerful people. He still has that pull? Like, everywhere, I mean?

Like, I'm saying, like, maybe not, probably not anymore. Billy Payne shows up to the White House. Is he getting, like, unbelievable treatment? Trump loves golf, so. All right, I know. I knew that I was going to get brought back to Trump. I'm trying to think of, like, really, like, high-level places. Is Billy Payne, like, respected?

Or is it just at Augustine Nationals is what I'm trying to get at? No, my point is, like, in order to be at Augustine National, you have to be an incredibly powerful person for the most part. Right. And he was the most powerful person of those people at, like, an institution that is very powerful. Augusta has just a ton of money, too. Right, right, right.

A ton of money. True. Just to get approved through that Apple, application process. Yeah. You checked off a few boxes. It's not even an application process. Like, they have to invite you, I believe.

Right, right. But anyways, to get the final checkmark, like you're going to be Billy Payne, you just can't be anybody. Oh, no, you're somebody. Exactly. That's what I'm getting to. You know, so you kind of almost got to have a name. Do you think you, like, you killed somebody? Do you think they evaluate names?

Because they're going to read them on every first D-Bain. Oh, yeah. Before you get into that position, to see if you're up to, you have to murder someone. Seems a little over the top. Does it? I mean, the current guy's Fred Ridley. Like, that's like from fucking, what's that from? Like, of mice and men.

Rolls off the tongue well. You feel like, oh, he's in a high status. Pretty Pain. Fred Ridley? Billy Payne. Billy Payne sounds like a 1940s guy. Like when you watch a, when you watch baseball clips of like Joe DiMaggio or something, like running around the bases and they look like they're going super fast.

Like you watch like Bill, you watch, you watch fucking Babe Ruth running around. Looks like he's going. Billy Payne. Billy Payne's running third. Here comes Billy Payne. Looks like he's going on to the stretch. Billy Payne safe. Billy Payne.

And it's New York City in 1937, and Billy Payne has thrown a nine-a-nine-inning shot-out. New York Yankees beat the Detroit Tigers today on October 27th, Billy Payne. How come all those clips were just like recaps? Like, it seems like it was, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, whenever you see those clips, like, today it was 1927 and it was October 12th, then Babe Ruth hit. It's like every, every clip you see is like a recap.

You guys may not know what I'm talking about. I've never thought about it that way. Maybe I'm just wrong. Maybe I've seen one recap. A good amount of times when you're just wrong. This could be one of those times. I don't know. I'm actually getting a little delirious because of my elbow pain.

You're always delirious for something. Yeah. It's like, oh, I was in Vegas, I'm delirious. Oh, my elbows are falling off because I'm fucking start. And I know, I know my friends listen to this podcast and I said this. I don't know where I said it, but I was called bones. I'm called bones. I'm called bones.

because I'm made out of nothing but bones and meat, right? I do that. I mean, Lurch says I have the skinniest legs he's ever seen. I hold by that. Your legs are so embarrassingly skinny that you refuse to wear shorts. I don't wear shorts. I don't like show my legs. It's unbelievable.

I don't like show my legs. And they, like, get skinnier. Like, if you look at them in these eyes and then you, like, pan down to his shoes, by the time you get through his shoes, there's no ankle. It's just like it disappears, and then there's a shoe. So anyway, they call me bones, right? And I've always been bones when I played baseball. I actually had a pretty good baseball career.

I was a pretty good baseball player. I was, like, on varsity, like, for many years, and I actually played baseball. Not many years are going to fucking shit on me. I played the right amount of varsity years, right? It wasn't like I was a shitty right field of that. You played at least two years of varsity. Correct. Okay.

Except for the one time I got sent down because I was fooling around. All right. What are you doing fooling around? We were just, like, messing around. We were messing around, like, a locker room, like making jokes and stuff. I got in trouble. And then I got sent down a fucking JV for a game, and I went to go. I love that you say sent down.

I got sent down to JV. and I went and he sent down. What year are you in high school? You're not playing the big league. You're going to AAA. What year are you? At this point I was a senior. I got sent down.

That's put, then you stunk. Yeah. No, no. If you're a good player, you don't get suspended. I got suspended.

Doesn't matter. I got suspended. What? Did you say something like, what did you say something racist? No, I didn't say anything racist. We made,

we were just joking around. I heard someone's feelings, I guess. There's so much more. I know. I know. Like, you're just passing by that. I can't wait for you to tell us up there. I just can't fucking wait.

What did you do, Brian? What did you do? Anyway, they put this water bottle. How off color was your comment? It wasn't off color at all. It sounds terrible. It sounds terrible. Like an unforgivable comment.

The fact that you won't share it now, you know that it's awful. It was so bad. They did something they don't even do in high school sports, which they sent him down. So the good question, because then we'll be able to put it into like a tier. How long were you suspended for? It was just one game. Any out of school suspension or no? No, it was just from the team.

Just wanted to know. Anyway, they sent me down, I'm drinking this water. I don't know how the fuck I got to this part of the story, but whatever. You know, I'm not even going to tell the second part of story. I ended up bringing down the whole water cooler because someone kicked me in the nuts. The water cooler was up in the air, and I had my legs spread. The kid came behind me, kicked my nuts. I dropped the water cooler down, flooded the whole entire thing.

This is when I got sent down. Fucking coach was not happy. This is a JV game. JV. Watercoolers fucking all over the place. You are a mess in a mess. I like to know more about what you said. Anyway, they call me bones, and in my senior year, my arm hurt so bad from throwing baseball my whole life that I used to, when I was turning double plays, I used to scream, fuck as I'm throwing the fucking ball. I couldn't throw anymore. My arm was dead. So this is happening to me again. My elbows are falling. I'm falling. I'm like, bones are falling. I'm getting hurt in my sleep. I can't drink anymore. Did you see the video of me in Vegas? I thought I was going to die. I can't drink anymore. Like, I just throw. I am deteriorating. I'm falling. I'm getting hurt in my sleep. I can't drink anymore. Like, I just throw.

You guys talked about in last show, and I saw the video. I think this is what's happening. Toothpick for your legs is a compliment. I think so. I think that's correct. I actually agree with that. Especially if you just put the toothpick through your teeth because there might be a little bit of calf muscle on there when you take it out. I mean, I'm a skinny guy.

Like Robbie Fox probably is the same like legs as me. I'm a skinny dude. Yours are skinnier than Robbie Fox's legs. Speaking of getting hurt in your sleep, I had somebody tweeted me today that said the Hulk got me last night. That's like the thing. The Hulk gets you. Yeah. The Hulk, if you get her in the middle of the sleep in the middle of your sleep at night,

the Hulk will get that, the Hulk got you. That's what that is. All right. Bad, man, bones. We got Hunter in, what, Mississippi? Yeah, we're in Mississippi, man. What's up, Hunter? What's going on?

You ever heard of Mississippi State University? Yeah, I sure have. No, where's that from? Hey, the Bulldogs, baby. What's going on, man? How you doing? Good, man. Just chilling.

Just a student here. I actually play on the golf team, Mississippi State. we just got done with practice and just enjoying being able to just relax and kick the feet up, you know? You guys good this year or what? You know, I actually think we're going to be really good this year. We actually won our first event in two years, and we haven't done that in, I think, five or six years. So it was pretty awesome, man. Sounds like I'm going to say.

I'm in the market for college golf team. So if you're, if this story in college golf goes well. I like this already. Let me tell you something. If you just treat us like Frankie treats the Islanders, we'll win the whole damn thing. I'm just telling you right now. That would be, if we jump on and you guys win the whole thing, that'd be fucking electric. Taking a look at your roster right now.

Do it. Look. Not many big guys. We got one guy over six feet on this roster. It's a golf roster. Yeah, we call him the jelly green giant. We got jelly green giant. I'm on board.

His name's Ford Clegg. I'm all over this freshman. Check out the weight class of Hunter Hammett. That's who I am. Check out that hefty individual. Have you got any weight class updates? No, we just the size, just 510. You bigger than Frankie?

No. No, I'm 135, baby. Oh, yeah. There are you going to go, huh? Wow. Well done on the first win. 1.35. Light on my feet, baby.

Hell of you, ninja? Young team, too. I like this team. Yeah, I'm light on my feet, baby. 135 pounds. I'll sneak up on you real quick. You're a jockey? A couple 20 footers.

Do what? Are you a jockey? Yeah, I could be. Could be. Might as well be. All right. I'm in. This is my team. I like it a lot. And I got to say something. Before I hang up or before we get done with this conversation, Frankie, I got the solution to the butter knives.

I've heard of Kisner. Look, no, no, no, no, no. I've watched Kis's video. Let me tell you something. I got the fix because I went through it. I couldn't hit a chip two feet if I tried. Let me tell you. Let me tell you right now. All right, here's what it is. All right, look it up. It's called the Dave Pell's Orange Whip Wedge. Oh, my God. What was that from China? Where are we doing? What is this? You got to buy this on eBay?

Yeah, I don't know if they have a left-handed one, though. I don't know. What's it called? I'm sure they do, but let me tell you something. Say it again, Dave Pell, four-inch whip wedge? Dave Pell's. Dave Pell's. Look, the shaft is made out of like a freaking rubber band, so it's like wippy as hell.

And let me tell you something. If you're tempo or whatever, it's not good, you're blatant in 50 yards. That's fucking 120 bucks. Dude, it's expensive, but look, it'll save your golf game. I'm just telling you. So this thing just whips around and you got to, like, have the right pace. Let me tell you, look, we were messing around the other day. They all gave me shit for using it.

And I'm like, can you even hit a full swing with this thing? And I was like, hell, I don't know, let you give it a trial. So this helps you, like, attack angle. It helps your pace. I helped everything. No, but you got to be careful. Don't hit full swings with it because it'll hit you in the back of the head on the way. Yeah, well.

What happened a hunter? He knocked himself out with his whipwrecking with a Dave Pell's orange whip wedge. Dude, I'm telling you, it needs to come with like a waiver or something because you'll knock yourself out. Rhythm training, impact training, distance training, trajectory training. It covers all four bases. Unbelievable. Butter knife training. It sits there.

It's got a great logo of an orange getting whipped around. It's not in the fine print. Hey, Hunter, can we get like some team polos or something that we could wear? Dude, I will send you No, I'll legit, I swear to God, I'll send you some hat. Dead ass. This is our golf team. You fucking kidding me?

This is our college golf team. Jolly Green Giant. This is going to be there for four years, too. We got some, look, I know we're supposed to be talking about it goes here. We got some sick nicknames on this team. We'll tell you what, we got some awesome nickname. I have a nickname story. Oh, that's just absolutely hilarious.

I don't know if you'll have time, but it is absolutely. We got to hear it at this point. All right. So my roommate, quiet got very quiet. like, I can't even, it doesn't say two words. But anyway, we're at the coach's house for the freshman dinner last year. And I have the run. I felt so bad because I had the runs and I had to eat his food that he was making me.

But I was like, dude, I can't eat this. I'm about to, you know, crap all over myself. So I went, I was like to Cam, I got to go to the bathroom. So I go to the bathroom. And Cam hadn't said a word, that's my roommate, hadn't said a word all night. Just hasn't even said a word. And my coach goes, hey, anyone know where Hunter is? And this kid, he's a pretty country guy.

And he goes, oh, Hunter, he's taking a slam. He said, he's taking a slam. So we don't even call him, Ken. We just call him slam. All right. Everything about that. How great is that? I did that.

We got Jolly Green Giant. We got slam. We got Ninja. We got string. We call him string because you probably figure that one out. He hits it on a string? No, body part. He's got a third leg.

Body part. Yeah. Roman. A thin little thing, though. Yeah. Roman. Got it. Yeah.

It's thin? He's got a skinny dead string. Yeah, there you go. We call them string bean. Okay, gotcha. Gotcha. This is our squad. I mean, we are Mississippi State golf.

That's our team. We don't have a lot of support. Go follow us on Twitter. I mean, it's great. Instagram, we're building up. You email me. You make sure you email me after this, Hunter, and we're going to get synced up. Everybody here, we've got to get polos.

We've got to get some gear. Look, I promise you, I might even send y'all, y'all, I'll give y'all a putterhead cover. Shit. Fuck yeah, that'd be awesome. Go. You kidding me. Look, I'm looking right here. I'm looking at you guys, your golf page right now.

I'm going to throw this a little follow. All right. Let's talk a little, Gus de National. We'll sync up afterwards. We have. We got up tangent here. We have our college golf team. You guys are our squad.

It's a done deal. I'm all in. We better fucking keep winning this year. Otherwise, I'm going to have to talk to the squad. I mean, look, we're killing a lot of stones here. You got a new golf team. I got the butternives solved in the back. Wow.

Let's take a step back here. Easy, Hunter. Many people have tried. I mean, Kevin Kisner just won't more point $7 million. He couldn't even fix it. It doesn't matter. Look, this is a, you're an athlete. You just grab the thing and you figure it out.

I got to get these elbows fixed. Athletes distract. I once got sent down. I got sent down for a game. You got sent down playing high school sports. I don't know how I got that. Two-year varsities kind of starter. Yeah, no, I played baseball.

I was a good baseball player. What's your Augustus story? Let's hear it. All right, I'm sorry. All right, here we go. So, funny enough, I was actually born on Masters Thursday or whatever, and my dad went to college with David Tom. Y'all know David Tom. Oh, yeah.

He's awesome. Yeah, y'all need to get him on the pod if you ever can. He's awesome. But anyway, he would send me tickets for my birthday. Every year, he'd be like, you know, from David, happy birthday hunt or whatever, and we'd go, obviously. And so the Wednesday practiced around, I think it was 2010. I can't remember the year. I was like 12 or so, whatever it was.

And we get on 13, and we're walking down the fairway. We get up by the green. You know, the green of 13 and T-Box of 14 are very close to each other. Oh, yeah. And David comes up to me and my dad, and he's like, hon, I heard it's your birthday, man. I was like, yeah, that's my birthday. It was like 12 years ago. I was shaking.

I was so nervous. Pulled me onto the ropes. Started singing happy birthday. There was a bunch of people there. I all start singing happy birthday, and guess who I see on 14 T-box waiting? Oh, L. T. Gray is sitting on 14 T-box waiting, and he's over there looking at us,

singing happy birthday to me, and I'll look over there, and I turn around with him, like, oh, my God, it's Tiger. I'm like, holy crap. What? That's a great story. We get done singing happy birthday, and we start walking down 14. We're like, David, I'll catch up with you after the round, whatever. Tiger comes up to me.

No. It goes, happy birthday, bud. No, he doesn't. He gives me a high five. Unbelievable. Happy birthday, bud. High five to me. And I'm telling you what?

Chills down my spine. Oh, fuck. I just got chills down my spine. I'm like crying. I mean, I'll tell you. I love the way he's dog. I love to tell you. He's like, the way he's like, I'll let me tell you something right now.

Like, you can tell you just like laughing and he's happy. Like this guy, I'm all in on Hunter. I am all in on Hunter. Oh, look, look, look, I'm telling you, man. Like, you know, because everyone knows the tiger, it's just. serious, like, doesn't even want to talk to anybody, doesn't sign autograph. And, I mean, I saw him on the T-box. I thought that was as close that I was ever going to get to the guy.

Because, like, happy birthday, bud, high five. Oh, that was like. Man. I even talking about it now, but, you know, it's pretty cool. That is fucking phenomenal. Hey, let me ask you a question. I'm looking at your guys page right now. Can we get some of these golf towels, too, you guys got?

Yeah, we got some sick towels. I'll get you on for sure, brother. These golf towels are sick with the bulldog on them. They're incredible. It's absolutely incredible. I got you. I got you. Hunter.

I got one more for you because I think it's pretty funny. And I think it gives you a good idea of David Tom's and why I think you should get him on the pod. But anyway, so this was another year and we go, I was super young again. And my dad is a ear, nose and throat doctor. Did you help with elbows? No, it does not help with elbows. But anyway, he knew my dad was a doctor, whatever. and we're walking down, I think it was nine maybe,

because there's a bunch of people gathered kind of past the pineshrel on nine over there in the fairway, and he comes over to us. And are you all familiar with what an oops baby is? Nope, but I need to know. Okay, oops baby. So I'm turning 20 next week. My sister's 23, and I have a eight-year-old sister. A mistake.

I actually, I was going to guess that, just to my credit. Yeah, yeah. I mean, look, I think you should just throw that in the title right there. Do you know what a oops baby is? But, you know, hey, I'm not, you know, whatever. Hoops baby, oops. What's that song? What?

This is an old song. It's definitely not Oops baby in the song. Maybe like Hoops baby or something like that. Keep going. Keep going. I know that's right. Oops. I did it again, Britney Spears.

So, anyway, anyway. Oops. I hoops. My dad, cool. David comes over by the ropes. And he's like, so, Doc, how's everything going? He's like, well, actually, you know, we're having another baby. My wife's pregnant

And he goes Damn doc And there's a bunch of people He goes Damn doc I thought you knew How that shit worked Wow

Oh Jesus That's awesome I love that It was in front of a bunch of people The place went electric It was pretty funny I didn't know what was going on Because I was like 12

I didn't know what that meant What's a hoarse baby What's a no baby Hunter I love it Hey you're our new golf team Make sure you email me And we'll get synced up I want to get some gear

And we're going to root for you guys all year Yeah, I got you for sure. I appreciate it, fellas. Hey, I love the pod. Y'all make my week every week just a little bit better. So I appreciate everything you all. That's very nice. We appreciate it, man.

Good luck this season. Hi, I appreciate it. See you. See you. See you. Yeah. Great energy. Let me tell you something.

Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something right now. This is great energy. All right. Last guy, we got Alex. Alex and Maryland. What's up? Hey, what's up, Rick?

How you guys doing? We're doing great. How are you? I'm doing good. Just chilling to my dorm. doing much. That's nice. Sorry about the weight. I tried to do this cool thing where I staggered all the calls and then we still

like 45 minutes behind. So, you know, we tried. That's all right. That's all good. What's going on? You got any Augusta story for us? Yeah, I do. So I went to the Masters last year. We got my tickets because my dad owns a seafood business and one of his vendors,

his boss's member out of Gus National. And he said, give these two tickets to one of our customers. So the guy knew I was obsessed of golf. and he gave the tickets to me and my dad. So we ended up going. We got tickets for Saturday, which was sweet on the weekend. So we got the sweet Airbnb with the company.

We woke up at like 2 a.m. to go to the course on Saturday. We get there at like 2.10, and there's no one else there, I mean, except for like three other guys. So we set our seats up in the front row, and we noticed the people are sitting with us throughout the morning or a bunch of high schoolers and like teenagers. So we asked what that was all about. and the kids are like, yeah, we're runners. And basically, these runners, they get paid by these stupid rich guys. Well, these people are very rich, and they pay them to get the seat that they won at the Masters in the front row

because these rich guys call up the kids from the local high school that are on the track team to get their seats. So at that point, I'm like, all right, it came on. I'm imagine a bidding more on the top athlete or the top sprinter. Aren't you not allowed to run the – doesn't it have to be like a – You aren't. Yeah, you're not allowed to – run, but they call the track cage just because they know they're good at, I guess, speedwalking. Speedwalking.

If you can't run or else you get your ticket clips. What's your top 40 times in speedwalking? Yeah. You ever see some of those incredible, like, Olympic speedwalkers? Yeah. That's what I'm picturing in my head right now. Just, there's nothing between the legs. They're just swift.

Yeah, got to keep a one for a string bean. That's basically, that's what I look like. I'm six-four. I got these long legs, and I knew I could beat these kids. And I've been staring at the course for months trying to map out how to get to the corner of Amen Corner as quick as possible. I ended up playing some good defense against these kids and getting the perfect corner spot at A Man Corner.

They were like bartering me. They're like trying to get my spot. I said, no way. And I got the spot for me and my dad. And I had my Saturdays for the Boy shirt on. So I kind of persist myself so the camera can see me real good. And I knew it was on me because I watched like hundreds and hundreds of clips of the A.N. Corner.

And I ended up getting on your guys's page, For Play Pod for wearing my Saturdays for the Boy shirt, which is pretty sweet. frames are texting me, blowing up my phone, obviously and had it with me. So at the end of the round, I got thousands of messages to my friends. It was awesome. Dude, I remember that. I was, glad from your email. I immediately remembered it, and I pulled up all the pictures, but the guy had the Saturdays are four. Yes. The boy's shirt on. He was sitting legitimately. You were in the perfect corner where 11 meets 12. Yeah, I had to beat all these kids. All those guys around me are loaded and paid kids get their seats. But me and my dad got the perfect corner seat because

I did my homework right and that was awesome. We're just slamming beers or bedding on whoever is close to the pin. It's 10 bucks. It was a sweet time right there. That's awesome. We got back to the house, the Airbnb that night, and everyone's talking to us. We're slamming Greg Drew's transfusions, Gregor's screwdrivers. It was awesome.

And the CEO of the company pulls my dad aside and he's like, hey, I saw you guys on TV more than Jordan's feet. Like your kid knows what he's doing. I wanted to give him my ticket for Sunday because I want to see him go. and I'd love to see him go. So I got to take it for Sunday. So I do the same deal, get up at two, put on my red tiger shirt, and I go to the course.

I set up as close as I can to 18, but they let the family members of the players settle first. So I'm kind of like in the third row. Still on TV, a bunch. It was awesome. But I ended up smoking a cigar on whole three behind Tiger. I was just casually doing it because I was happy. I wasn't trying to go viral today or anything.

But I'm just sitting there smoking on my cigar all cocky, and eventually someone recorded that, and I got on a bunch of other pages. I went viral two days in a row for being a master. So that was pretty sweet. Damn. Pretty good. Dude, that's an incredible performance.

So I'm showing the guys right now. We're looking at this picture of you with the cigar. I think you got a cigar in the picture that we took at Chinicock, too. I'm looking at right now. Yeah, that's amazing. That's amazing. I took up my words and I was talking to you there. I couldn't get a few words out.

But that was awesome, too, seeing you guys at Shinnecock. But, yeah, the scar picture is hilarious. I just turned 18 the week before. So I felt all coffee and I've ripped my cigar. felt all cool. It was awesome. Yeah, and then the picture you sent in, too, I love from your Shazer for the boys' days, like Tiger, and then there's you and your pops just chilling right in the background. I mean, that's awesome. You really couldn't have done much better.

No. Yeah, I had a bunch of beers under my seat. You can't even see them. It's ridiculous, but they're there. We did. You're having a great time. You're going to hear when you listen to the show that the, we had a couple, a guy calling earlier. It was like, yeah, we had like 15 cups, empty cups after drinking beers underneath our chair and they came over when the final group was coming through and they made us like get rid of them because they didn't want them to show up on TV. Really? No, that happened to us.

This security guard came out to us with like a freaking giant gun on his back and he kneeled down next to me and my dad right when we were on A Man Corner. He's like, gentlemen, Tiger Woods's group is coming through. You're on TV. This is the Masters. Act like gentlemen. Don't scream anything obnoxious. And we were like, oh God.

So we were like totally serious at that point. We obviously don't scream anything stupid. but that security guy was a pretty scary looking dude. Jesus, you're like, yeah, sure, no problem. No problem. Yeah, that Sunday was cool, too, because I was waiting outside to get my picture in front of the clubhouse. And Jim Nance rolls up in this golf cart, gets out, he says, good morning, friends. Everybody in line, we need to get their pictures taken.

Which is sweet hearing Jim Nand. He was calling at McDonald's, McAfee Coffee, a small one. And I just didn't expect Jim Nance be a McAfee coffee drinker, but he is. pretty cool. He was saying good morning friends to everybody. This guy can't leave his own brand. This has to be perfectly on brand at every moment of every instance of his life.

Good morning, friends. Good morning, friends. It was sweet. Jesus, that's just the most Jim Nance story of all time. I cannot believe that. He's just saying good morning, friends. Oh, man. He's got the Masters Sunday suit on hold his coffee and say, good morning, good morning, friends. And that nice

soft voice. It was sweet. I won't forget that. That's great. Well, Alex Great work last year. We appreciate you reping all of our gear out there, man. Hey, no problem. I love it. I love Saturdays for the boys' sure, and I buy all your guys. I love it. We appreciate it, pal. We'll enjoy Masters' Week this year, and we thank you for calling in. Hey, thanks take my call. Keep up the good work, guys. I love it. Thanks, pal. Have a good night. All right. See you guys. Good night.

All right, boys, with that, that's our final call. I do think the staggered thing worked out better. We never had more than a couple people on the sheet. Try not to make people have to wait on that. Massive. Yeah, that was good. Trying not to big people have to wait all night. Next time that we are on this show, it will officially be Masters Week. That's so exciting.

This will be coming out Tuesday of Master's Week. We'll be able to break it down. We'll have watched. We'll be able to have watched an entire day of the coverage. We'll be able to have watched the drive-chip of puck contests. And the Lady Golf that's been going on. The ladies amateur golf that they're playing on Saturday. The ladies are going to be playing at Augusta.

Big shout out to them. That is an unbelievably cool. thing that they're doing. That's going to be, I think it's on Golf Channel this Saturday. Is that what it's on? I believe so. I just said that. I have no idea.

I have to look. I just jumped into that one. I will have to look. But if you want to watch some Augusta National golf, it's on golf, I think it's on golf channel. It's on somewhere. You can look it up. This Saturday, the women, women amateurs are playing at Augusta National on Saturday.
