All right, folks, welcome back to For Play. this is a special bonus episode. It's Thursday evening as we record this. Yeah, coming back at you, the second episode of the week.

Two episodes this week. Makes sense. We're live in Augusta. We're about, I don't know, a 15-minute walk, according to most people, 45-minute walk, according to producer Rob from the golf course. Rob does, we're finding out he does a lot of things well. He has many talents. One of them is not deciding how far places are,

walk and how long it'll take. Very, very poor judge of how long it takes to walk places. I didn't judge it. I literally looked up our address to the course on Google and it says 43 minutes. So I relayed that information from Google. I am not Google. So bottom line, we're really close to the course. We're in Augusta. We've been everywhere. We've been at the course. We've done Hooters. We've done the Natty shack. We've been everywhere. Yeah, we did a little bit of tour. We pretty much just drove up and down the streets of Augusta while it was raining. In traffic. In a lot of traffic.

We've seen all kinds of different weather. It's been wild. So the whole point of this episode is, of course, to bring you guys kind of in the middle of the tournament. A little bit of look from, you know, the four plate guys. We're supposed to be the common golfers. We get this very uncommon opportunity to come down to Augusta, check it all out. So we're here to talk about it. We want to start with our, we went on Tuesday.

So, yeah. So we got here. Monday night. We told that story in the last podcast, a lot of windies, a lot of getting carded at weird places. You circling the skies above Atlanta, Georgia. Yep. And now, and then Tuesday, the weather was beautiful Tuesday. I mean, it was 87 and sunny.

I don't think I felt a single breath of wind. We really caught by far the best day. Monday was pouring. Wednesday was pouring. Yep. Today it was, it was fine today, but it was cold and windy. Yeah. But Tuesday was.

Perfect. 87 degrees. I am still very, very sunburned. Yep, we discussed. I don't think we talked about this on the last podcast. I think that was one of our live shows, but that Trent doesn't understand or hasn't digested the concept of sun tan lotion, sunscreen. Tech IP was in here helping us set up this recording equipment.

And he said what I have thought all along where the first time out, he said the best tans he's ever had in his life are when the first. son he ever got was just a major burn and then the rest of the way you just kind of you coast along and you get a nice bronze the rest of the way that's the what I'm trying to operate with but when it right now you didn't succeed so far what do you mean you just you look really like sunburned I am very yeah I'm not denying that I'm sunburned I'm definitely sunburn so do you like do you believe that you probably should do you regret not putting on sunscreen yes okay yes so the theory is not off to a great Sleeping and showering and moving and putting my hat on, taking my hat on and off has been a painful experience so far. Yeah. Is sleeping, because sleeping when you're sunburned stinks. Well, it's not so bad because it's only like the bottom parts of my arms and a little bit of my neck. The sleeping sucks when you get sunburn all over like your chest and your back. Or especially like the back of your legs.

Yeah. So I'm not, the worst part so far is drying off after the shower. That does. You have to like blot it. Yeah. You got to touch yourself instead of like just wiping. It also seems like my skin is so hot now that it just evaporates the water. Yeah, you've got the thing going to where if you just touch you lightly, it turns white.

Oh yeah. It stays white. Watch this. So, Trent's crazy. So anyway, Trent's sunburn. That's how nice Tuesday was. So we knew that the weather was going to be like that. We didn't actually have Tuesday practice round tickets.

We decided to splurge in the hope that we'll get reimbursed. So if someone's listening. that is in charge of reimbursing us for stuff, do it. Because they were not cheap tickets. I would love that $600. That would be really nice. You played it perfectly.

You wrote a very eloquent blog about your first time in Augusta. Yep. And that is hopefully going to push us into getting our money back. That blog, which is content and which did really well, can't be written if we don't go in. And this podcast doesn't have others apart missing if we don't go on a Tuesday. Yep.

Totally. More, even more content. So we go, we get there around 10 a.m. And it was, I mean, it was probably the most nervous I've ever been for something that I was doing nothing in. Like, I didn't have to go compete or perform or take a test or do anything. I just had to walk around and enjoy it. And I was nervous going to. Was any part of that nervousness that you were going to be disappointed?

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Me too. Definitely. Yeah. Because we've been watching this tournament forever. everyone talks it up you never know if they're like it's hyperbole if they're making it up

if they just want to fit in with everybody but then you get in there and it's just what you expect it to be yeah so we walked in you know you you got to go through the whole maze you gotta walk everything's pristine we talked everybody's talked about that it's pristine it's perfect they move you in very efficiently all of that we get in the first thing that we really see is the relatively new i don't know how new the state-of-the-art practice facility is i think it's four or five years something like that we see that right away and the first thing that i remembered was tiger when he was bumping and weaving yeah hitting those chips like two years ago to prove they didn't have the chipping yips yeah and even when i saw that i was like oh wow that's i

remember that and that's one of that is the least iconic moment that i can imagine right right and so from there we kind of we keep going another couple hundred yards pop out all a sudden there's just the first fairways right there and we're like oh shit start to get your bearings a little bit we take a left walk up see the gigantic oak tree right in front of the clubhouse and you know we're there there's also on the left like on the right you've got the first see and on the left there's all of these little houses if they want to call them yeah like cabins houses whatever that are they look perfect and you can kind of see inside the windows and there's very pretty looking people in there and they look very warm and gorgeous people yes gorgeous

people everywhere gorgeous like wealthy people gorgeous wealthy people sitting in their lodges on the edges of Augusta National. It was a very, it felt like a fitting entrance. People that would never let us in to anywhere, basically. They wouldn't even look at us. So you get there and then, like I said, Clubhouse Oak Tree on your left, you look out to your right at that's kind of like the pinnacle of the course, the peak, and you look out to your right and all of a sudden you can see all the way down through the trees to what

It has to be like the 16th hole through the trees. Yep. You can see that far. You can't make out detail what's on the other side of them, but you can see for what looks like miles. And it's just perfectly green grass and white bunkers. Yeah. And also right in front of you to the right is the 18th green.

So then that's when we walked out of the 18th green. We had a very kind stool right out of the gate. By the way, a billion stooleys at this thing. More than I would have expected. It was either all or nothing. I was thinking there weren't going to be any or, there were going to be a lot and there were a lot. A lot of forplay fans. We really appreciate the support.

We really appreciate, you know, anyone that's listening that goes out of their way to say hi to us. Yeah. We've had a good time with all the fans that have run out. So usually we like to have a good time shitting on them and they shit on us. But it's been a great time with everybody. We haven't really talked about this, but we talked about a little on the course when we were walking around. We really nailed the name of this podcast. We got, we, it's funny because the story of that is that pretty much.

Anyone in our company that heard the name for the first time before we had gone official with it was like, I mean, I think we can do better. And then it grew on everyone. Our main sales guy, Jay Danyhee, who was on this trip with us, did not like the name of first. He thought it. What do you think it was too edgy? No, he just thought it was too, like, he thought it was lazy. He was like, that's not. That's just like, you guys can do better than that.

And now everyone has completely gone the other direction. When people see us, the Stooglias, they say the four play boys. It just rolls off the time. It's a nice thing to say. Yeah. It's just, oh, the for Playboy boys. Because instead of being like, oh, it's Trent, oh, it's Riggs, it's the forplay boys. And it's weird when you're walking around Augusta National and people are going out of their way to yell at you and call you the four play boys.

It's just like. I'm okay with that rep. I'm okay with that rep. I love it. So we're going to be out there the next three days. Anybody that sees us, make sure you say hi. Make sure you buy us beers, all that stuff. We love beers.

I like the, we're probably getting a. this but I'll buy me a pimento cheese sandwich I'm a big fan of those yeah or and then you know we'll buy you right back and unnamed American draft beer yeah nobody's gonna be breaking the bank here we're gonna spend like four dollars it's gonna be a great time um so yeah tons of stories anyways this guy right out of the gate on the 18th green comes right up to us and he's like hey a little tip for you boys for the four boy boys you everyone just leaves their chairs right they get there early they place the chairs uh the folding chairs and then they just go wander the course and he's like, so you're going to see all these empty chairs everywhere,

you just sit down wherever the fuck you want, and you're good to go unless those particular people happen to come back, which they rarely do. Yeah, because it's a beautiful system. The more I think about it, the more I like it. Because you're right, they won't come back. There's a whole course to walk, and they will only come back maybe for a little bit, if at all.

So right out of the gate, our first real experience of consuming the golf course and consuming play on the golf course was we just sat front row on the 18th green like, 20 feet away from the pin. It was like a back-right pin and just watch groups play up. The shocking thing about the 18th Green is it looks a lot smaller in person. I can't believe how small it was.

So then I went back and I looked at old clips like when Phil canned that putt in 2004 to win his first Masters. And it is, you do realize how many people are in closing a very small space. For whatever reason, it looks bigger. I feel like now on TV, but in that clip, like the people from one edge of the green, like the gallery to the other side,

does not look very far in that clip now. Okay. Now that I realized like, oh my God, everybody's kind of on top of each other right there. Yeah. They really fucking are. I do wonder if we're going to, like when we see old clips now,

when we watch live tournaments at Augustineau, if we're going to look at it differently than we did before. Yeah, definitely. I, so we noticed today you really, the mounding is ridiculous. That they do not get on camera. The sixth green, we didn't walk right by the sixth green.

We only saw it from like the T on Tuesday. We walked by it today. The sixth green has like a mountain in the middle of it. And not only that, when they put the pin up there, we said that it's like a like a circus shot or a put-put-put. It literally looks like a miniature golf, like a put-put clown show golf course. The fact that people aren't getting like seven, eights and nines, all the time on that sixth green is shocking to say the least so um so then to go back to

tuesday we we rolled up behind us down the eighth or i'm sorry down the 10th fairway uh next thing you know we're on 11 and we're like oh shit we just keep going this way we're going to be right down at a main corner we walk up to it it was really shocking and i've told this i wrote this in the blog and i said it today on the radio show but you and i love that to talk we talk all the fucking time we're never really silent ever under any circumstances we just when we saw 12 for the first time in person we just stood silently next to each other for like 15 minutes and i don't get that way i don't get that way not just i don't ever go silent about anything and it's it's you're sitting there and 12 is the perfect toll it's perfect yeah i mean it's

simple right it's not overly complicated there's bunker in front bunkering back but it just the way that it sits in there, how tall those fucking trees are behind it, how open everything is in front of it. And the fact that you can't really get back there, right? Like, that's what I've been trying to convey is that it's almost like, like I said, like the Mona Lisa is like they put it in the back of the room and you're only able to walk into the front of the room and it's like dark and mysterious back there. It's just there and you can't quite touch it.

Are you, that's how 12. Were you the ones who saying today that it looks like a throne back there? Yes. Yeah. I picture, when you, as soon as you said that, I'm picturing the, like, a game of throne's poster where the iron throne is way in the back and you can see it that's what the 12th green looks like yes there's like four tall tall very distinguishable trees behind it and that just makes it look like a legitimate throne and we saw it today there's in different spots so the 11th green is obviously up closer and today the flag was was blowing like crazy on 11 and it was completely

still on 12 and they're the holes are right next to each other but 12 is so much deeper that it's it's its own it's in its own universe and that was our first real experience of all the swirling winds down in aiming corner because we watched the group it was uh Rory

rom and that Tanahara guy I think yes is that who they were playing with and all three of them went long left and it was because the flag on one or on 11 was blowing a whipping right in your face yeah the flag on 12

wasn't even moving. Every single one of them hit it on the same line and they hit it long left. Rom hit it like I feel like up into like, I think, was that him that hit it like up into the weeds and it like rolled back? It rolled back down a little bit. So anyways, that was wild. Yeah. So, but back to Tuesday when we're standing between 11 and 12, not speaking, we forget that you're there to see some of the best golfers in the world because you're taking in the course so much. So we're standing there silent between 11 and 12.

and the first thing I say to you, I say, oh, shit, there's Rory McElroy walking down 11. And you realize this is the greatest place in the world. It was unbelievable, yeah. And yeah, because we didn't expect that. Like practice rounds, they just kind of pop up randomly when the guys are playing and all that. There's not much of a tea time sheet or anything like that. And yeah, Rory just strolls by, so we watch Rory play. Amen Corner.

Next thing, you know, we're like, all right, let's go get a beer. Look over to our right. we just see a left-handed player hitting an iron from the 13th fairway. We're like, oh shit, that's Phil. That's Phil Mickelson. So we went and watched Phil on 13. The closer you get to 13 green,

it's like the same thing. And you're like, well, this might be nicer than the 12 fucking hole. Yeah, we kept going back and forth. I can't decide which one I like more 12 or 13 or 15 or 11 and 16. It's shocking. Like the whole course, every fucking hole. I think it's, I think it's,

14 is, or let's see, 13 is as good as it gets. Yeah, 13 is great. People don't understand how you cannot find a flat lie anywhere on that golf hole, not even close. Guys, if you hit a great drive in the fairway, you're standing. If you're a righty, the ball's at like your fucking belt. It's like you're almost like you're like chest and you're like your chest and you're trying to hit. So it's really hard to explain how undulating the entire golf course is.

Then we made our way finally to concession. Yes, which might have been the most impressive thing of the whole trip. The concessions and the logistics of the bathrooms and all of that is maybe the most impressive part of Augusta. Yeah. The concession doesn't, it's unlike any concession you've ever been to. Normally you walk, it's a, you walk up to a counter, you order, the person turns around, gets your popcorn, whatever ready. At Augusta, it's just a through line. You walk through and everything is placed out neatly and you grab it.

and at the end is the cashier, but it moves so fluidly and takes no time at all. And they're very, everything's like sneakily unmarked. For example, they just put a blue drink out there with ice and it just called sports drink.

Yep. Like, dude, we know it's fucking Gatorade. Like, yeah. I've had a billion Gatorade. It just says sports drink. And when you get a beer.

Cola and there's Diet Cola. Right. And then when you get a beer, it just says, Light American draft beer. Craft American draft beer. And you're like, what the fuck? So it's interesting.

They move you right in when you walk right up. So we've experienced both times when it's pretty empty. And we experience when it was jam-packed. And they have a nice young lady standing there with a big sign that just says five-minute mark. It's a five-minute wait from this point. She was right. It was nailed it. Like place is jammed.

You're like, oh, man, we're going to be here for a half hour, five minutes in and out. You said it. We experienced when it was packed and when there was nobody in there, took about the same amount of time. Yeah, right. And, yeah, everything's cheap as shit. You can obviously go, Ravel has been tweeting the same picture every year for,

it feels like 100 years. But yeah, pimento cheese is $1.50. Barbecues, three bucks. Maybe the most expensive thing on the menu. Yeah, by far the most expensive thing they've got. Like the Masters Club is $2.50. Shit, like beer is like $4.

Yeah, beer is four. It's a little more normal, I guess. Yeah. I'm a little, we have to have a little bit of a Pimento cheese conversation. Okay. Because you and I both love it. We've had like a combined 10 of them so far. At least.

At least. We've only been in for like a day and a half. A couple people, Portnoy, I think Paige Sparantic, neither one of them like it. They, well, Dave's an idiot because he said he bought one, said it looked disgusting and didn't eat it. He just threw it away immediately. Yeah. Page said she found out what was in the pimento cheese sandwich in terms of the actual ingredients. And she didn't like that.

So she didn't even try one. Now she's tried one. She has. Because she finally went in today for the first time. Yep. Said she tried one. And she said she thinks that looking up what was in it beforehand ruined it for her. And I said, yeah, no fucking shit.

Yeah. You can't start looking up. We said on the radio show today. You don't want to look up. You're like a hot dog. What's in a hot dog? It's just like gross, grinded up pig parts. The pimento cheese is the perfect.

You're walking around a golf course all day sandwich. You pop in real quick. You grab it. It's a buck 50. You'd rip the wrapper off, throw it in the trash, walk away, pound it in 30 seconds. It's delicious. It's like a little. It's like getting like cheese and crackers or something real quick.

Yeah, it doesn't weigh it down. It's not heavy. It's not bulky. Oh, that's nice. I ate two of them as soon as we got in a day slugged it down with a beer and I. And you were moving out there. Oh, oh, Riggs. You look limber.

I look pumping. I was walking up those hills. It's great. It's a, it's a no. brainer. It's beautiful. I like that they're clearly all like handmade, individually made, but they come in the nice master's rappers. They're great. Bob, why did you grab the mic? I'm nervous about the pimento cheese sandwich. I went in on Tuesday. They were all out. So I didn't get one. And then Paige told me what was in it today. I feel pressure to like the sandwich, but I dislike

literally every single ingredient. So here's what Trent and I said. We said going in, we honestly, we thought it would be way over. hyped and that we just weren't going to like it and that that was going to be sad like we want to like it i want to like everything about it tried it delicious i'm going to try it this weekend you're also a weird picky eater i am for example just i don't think the four play listeners know this oh no rob eats for his morning bagel he just eats the bagel just as is uncut he doesn't cut it isn't put anything on it he just grabs it like it's an apple and he just starts eating it.

That's psychotic. That's what I do. If I'm feeling frisky, I go butter, but like not too much. I'm a plain guy. Very plain guy. I get him a sandwich the first day that he's on the job. Okay, this is like five months ago. I'm like, hey, Bob, I'm going to go get a couple sandwiches for lunch.

Would you like me to get you something? He goes, yeah, I just want a turkey sandwich, but just bread and turkey. Whoa. And I was like, turkey and roast beef. Turkey roast beef. My mouth is so dry. I was like, do you want mayo? What kind of cheese, all that?

He's like, no, just meat and bread. And I was like, who is this psychopathic intern that I hired? And it's Bob. I got a weird stomach. I got a weird stomach. It reacts strangely to things. My whole point with that, right, is that I'm not sure you're going to, you're coming from a correct taste palate standpoint to really enjoy the pimento cheese.

That's what I'm worried about. You said that you feel pressure. to like it. Yeah. I would say there are more people out there who feel like they need to come out and say they don't like it. That's like the hot take with that. Like I'm going in like, like fuck this pimento cheese sandwich. Yeah.

Oh, people talking about the pimento cheese sandwich. I like that you're that way. But I feel like people, people like Dave, they would be like, oh, I'm going to go in and say I hate it just to make a stink. Yeah, I could see that. Guys, it was a wild first day.

Okay, so then, so the whole thing, it was a Tuesday practice round, so everything was pretty calm, but the skipping of the balls across the water on 16 is electric. Yeah, big road. goes nuts for that. It's like, I didn't really know that.

I thought it was like kind of a, like a friendly, quiet thing. No. No, they, they, that's like, they simulate basically the roars that you hear during the tournament.

It's where guys skipping golf balls across water and getting them on the green. They were booing guys that were hitting it like a shitty skip attempt. Just booing them. We had one guy, I think Rory one time went to skip one and you just flew it like right over the green. They booed them. Yeah.

They're like, you can't do that. It's fucking illegal. You have to skip it. So. Like pretty wild scene for Tuesday. Easily the most packed part of the course. People just want to see skipping balls.

Yeah, the other thing that I didn't really realize about Augusta is how stadium-like, it's naturally built. Like, there's the viewing areas on the sides of holes are elevated in most places. So like an aiming corner, for example, that whole area behind the 12th T is elevated. So like if you can't see, you just go walk. walk five feet behind where you were currently were standing. Yeah. Boom. Now you can see.

And the same thing on like all around the 18th green. That's all like stadium like elevation. And then over on 16. 16 is at the bottom of a hill. 16's at the bottom of a hill. So you've got that massive hill between 16 and the 6th T. And people even sit on that hill underneath the 6th T where guys hit balls over them. And then they can also see over to 16.

You can see a little bit of the 15th green. It's crazy. Yeah. Yeah, people did warn us that Augusta was hillyer than it appears on TV. That's an understatement. Are you concerned about body soreness at the end of this trip? Yes. I'm concerned about body soreness tomorrow morning.

Yeah. The calves and all that have been getting a serious workout. This is, we're not able to have our phones around there. I would be curious to see how many steps we're taking a day. Because my phone counts steps, it's got to be somewhere like 25,000. It's a lot. Yeah. It's a lot.

Not to complain about being at Augusta. Right. These are like the trial. of being at Augusta for a work trip all week. So Tuesday practice round, we were there for like six or seven hours. No phones.

My biggest takeaway, and I've told you this a million times now, I get it. I get the exclusivity of Augusta. I like it. I've shit on this place for years because it just rubs me the wrong way that they are the assholes

who think they're better than everybody else. Right. You shit on it in like, um, um, um, like an iron fist way that the membership runs the whole thing.

Not like you haven't shit on Augusta. No, no, no, yeah. Oh, these like pompous. Yeah.

You know, rich dudes that are kind of running it very exclusively, whatever. Which I'll never fully love, but I can appreciate the no cell phone thing. The keeping the prices low on the food. Those are very charming aspects of it. Because for the first 10 minutes,

you keep checking your phone, you get your pocket like, oh shit. There. It's not there. It's not there. At 10 minutes, 15 minutes into it, you totally forget about it. Everybody's paying attention. We were on the 18th Green today. It was surrounded by people and everyone's watching the action. Yep. Rory kind of or was it, where was it? Who was it? Somebody went into the crowd a little bit. It was Spieth. It was Speeth. That's who was. Speeth on 18 airmailed the green and he was like, you know, five people deep in the crowd.

And you just nowadays you don't see it literally anywhere except probably Augusta National where everyone is focused on one thing. at one time happening. Yeah, it was maybe 15 minutes, maybe into our first moments inside of Augusta, where you turned to me and you were like, I'm really coming around on the exclusivity thing. It did not take long. You were like, I like this a lot. It did not take long. That's classic.

Once you're in, you're like, oh, it's nice in here. It's very classic where like, I'm outside. Like, I'm one of the common people. I want this place to be taken down. And then you get inside. you're like, oh, this is why they have these places. I want to be in here with you people. Yeah, I thought the pay attention point that you made to about the cell phones is I'm obsessed with it.

And I noticed it down on A men corner too when, I mean, there's nothing else to do when you don't have your phone out there. You're just watching the golf. And every shot that's played, it's like you see every shot for the people that are coming down 11. You see every shot for the tea guys on 12. You see all the shots from the guys coming from the tea out to the fairway on 13. And it's like you're paying attention. You've got these thousands of people that are all clapping and watching and paying attention. Even if you go to any other golf, I've been to the Deutsche Bank, you know, a couple years in a row up in Boston.

And it's like people are on their phone. They're drinking. They're socializing in a massive hospitality tense. At Augusta, motherfuckers are paying attention. It'll never happen. but I almost want the no cell phone thing to become a bigger deal, a bigger thing in the sports world where maybe not at like every sporting event, people just put their phones away.

It's more fun. We were saying we need to host a party where we have a basket and we just collect everyone's cell phone at the beginning. I think it would be a better party. Yeah, it's weird when people like interact. Pay attention to each other. Pay attention to each other. I mean, I'm a little nervous just talking about it because I like having the breaks where I look down on my phone. But you have a more rewarding experience when you just don't have your phone.

And it's funny. you can be on the side that we're on. We're like, oh, this is great. But you still find yourself trying to justify. I kept saying, like, oh, it is nice that I'm not pulling my phone every second. But I, like, I should be able to just, like, check the leaderboard real quick. I kept trying to justify my head. Like, no, no, this is perfect rule.

But, like, me personally, I could really use it just for this really quickly. And I'd like to know what time it is. Yeah, that was the big thing. We battled with the time. You don't want to be that guy that's asking everybody what fucking time is it. But, like, it's weird to have no idea what time is it. We did not know what time was today when we were walking through We'd go to the bathroom line

It was a very zigzaggy thing I almost like threw up yeah But we were walking by and I kept trying to read people's watches Because I did not want to ask that So this is going to sound wild But I've prided myself for years On being out of the time Based on where the sun is

Okay okay And Tuesday You're like a Native American or something Tuesday Tuesday I was pretty good good at it. But today it was really cloudy. And I kept,

I literally, I kept telling myself to like, to preserve my belief that I'm good at this. I kept whenever I was, because I was way off today. Like, not even fucking close. Yeah, yeah.

Because I was trying to get back for the Harvard played in the Frozen Four today. And I was trying to get back for the six o'clock game. We left at like $7.50. And I kept, and I just kept telling myself, like, oh, it's cloudy today. Like, there's nothing you can do about that.

Time just not moving. Yeah. And also, you, you fucked it up too because they're like, oh, do we, we're like, do they start to stop serving beer at five? And you're like, yeah, we're like, is it five o'clock? No way. No way. Went up to a concession stand. Ask the lady.

She said 518. Like, not even close. Not even close. And I was very confident. I was like, no, it's like four. There's 518. So those cloudy days, man. Cloudy days when that's your go-to is the sun position for telling time.

And it's cloudy. It's like that ruins your whole schick. there. Too funny. So, so then Wednesday, we, uh, we kind of did a little bit of, we wanted to see what we called the real Augusta. Yeah. You hear about it. You hear all the time like,

wow, Augusta National is beautiful. The town of Augusta sucks. Dick. Mm-hmm. Another understatement. I wouldn't say that it sucks, but it's like it's just, did we talk about this on Monday podcast? I feel like we did. Okay. It is. It's like just a massive, like, strip of all the chain restaurants in the world that you've ever about. Oh yeah, because we talked about how it's like our home, our town's back home. Yes. So it's, we did a little digging, which was basically drive around in the rain made it worse.

Uh, and it is just as bad as we assumed. Yeah, as nice as Tuesday was as as bad as Wednesday was. It rained the entire day. And it was just pretty miserable. Uh, there's really not much to do in Augusta when it just rains all day. No, because they, and they're very quick to shut down the, course. I found out they shut it down on Monday. They shut it down on Wednesday. And then after that, I think people just go to bars. Yeah. So we went to Hooters. We got kicked out. We got kicked out by

the manager. We brought in an 18 year old cameraman. Yeah, they did not like that. No, they did not like that at all. The big hit from Wednesday was the highly publicized Snoop concert. Trent, do you want to talk a little bit about how the Snoop concert went? Yeah. And I was excited before because I wanted to to see Snoop in concert. I'd never seen Snoop before. It's weird that we'd be like, yeah, we're going to Augusta to see Snoop. We may have gotten to the bottom of it almost immediately as soon as he came out. So we hung out at this place called the Country Club. It's a, it's a country bar, but at about 9 o'clock, it flips around and it turns into a place where Snoop Dog would perform. So we were sat there. We got there early, very, very early. We had VIP tickets,

got there at 9 o'clock. We actually got there too early. We got there at 8.30. they would not let us in so we went next door to a place called Robbie's shout out to Octagon Bob that place is called Robbies yeah I think so I could be wrong oh you're there sorry Robbie no it was

and Robbie's was like a billiard hall it was very cool if you're picturing a billiard hall that's exactly what it is like smoky billiard you can smoke in bars in Georgia yeah which I really really enjoy so really yes

you enjoy that yes I miss what I miss smoky bars I wish Iowa well I wish Iowa when I live there still had That is weird because when I So in Missouri There's different counties in Missouri

That do and don't have it But in Missouri The county that I live in You can smoke in bars Yeah And even like I'm my friends and stuff That smoke are like I prefer bars where you can't smoke outside

Because it's like disgusting No I like that I feel like I'm in a bar bar bar When there's smoking It is a way more barry feel Yeah As opposed to like a restaurant feel It's certainly not good for you

And everybody smells like shit when you leave but you walk into a smoky bar I don't want to call I don't think bars should be like international waters where anything can happen but I need it to be a place where you can do every vice imagine like smoke drink gamble just let us fucking do whatever we want for the record Augustin National is international water is where you can do whatever fuck yeah we've been talking a lot about that that's been kind of a running theme and you really realize it when you're there they have like these agents walking around too that are like unidentifiable we don't know what GBI stands for

I've had a couple different theories You said something about Great Britain I don't really want to get into it The guys that I was in Augusta In the gift shop wearing a shirt That kind of looked like the master's logo It was a little different

But it was a parody Yeah And the guy And shout out to the parody law And two guys in suits Like walked straight up to me GBI on their suits And just stared me down

Stared at my shirt And I just got the fuck out of there Their presence scared the shit out of me They're very intimidating and they just kind of like they bomb around quickly heads on a swivel which is probably their job it's definitely their job they're doing a good job of it but Augustus it's wild you got people coming out of fucking trees today

there was like on 11 there's like a rules question or something you see one guy's signal like we need a rules official this guy he literally walked out of the fucking clouds that was the best moment of the day if you're picturing 11 if you can picture 11 and there's the water on the left side of the green, and then just a little bit further out on the water, there's a little strip of grass. A very small.

A little sliver of grass. Yeah, I think it was actually, he might have been Hoffman. Hoffman kind of circled his putter in the air, calling for rules official. And this guy came out like, you know the scene in the Santa Claus when they get up to the North Pole? And the little elf comes out of nowhere and hits the buttons.

Yep. They sink down in. That's what it looked like. It was unbelievable. He just walked out of nowhere. And we were like, where the fuck did that guy come from? And then sure enough, he went back and just like kind of disappeared into the trees. Like Keebler elves.

It was crazy. So like there's the thought that we, you know, we've been kind of playing around with like, should we test Augusta? Should we wear our green jackets that look a lot like Augusta's green jackets? But they just have the barstool logo on them. And we've kind of come to inclusion that like, no. We might disappear. Yeah. Like legitimately disappear.

And then Augusta, like if our people came looking for us, Augusta. be like you don't ask questions. Yeah. Or they're gone. People would ask for us and we, it would be like we never existed. Yes. Or my other.

We don't have that name on file across the world. No, my other fear is that they take you down into like a casino style like like dark basement. You get caught counting cards? Yes. Beat the fuck out of you and then spit you out like on Washington Road via some random tunnel. Yeah. And they're just like, don't ever wear that fucking jacket again.

Yeah. We'll see you tomorrow. And you know what I mean? It's like kind of and I'm and I'd be like, I'd be back the next day. Yeah. Because they know they got you. Right. So I'm just like thinking we just won't wear them in the first place.

Anyway, back to Snoop. Is that how we got there? Snoop. Back to Snoop. We get there at 9 o'clock. Going to our nice VIP section was very nice. Elevated. A lot of dudes.

Tons of dicks there. An unbelievable amount of dicks. So many. Snoop does not come on until midnight. A little after. midnight comes out to the next Keep in mind we're there like nine Oh we were there at nine

Which like three hours in a fucking Saloon that's turned into an Augusta National Masters Week nightclub is wild Very weird scene Snoop comes out a little after midnight Comes out to the next episode Everybody's jacked up ready to see Snoop And there's a weird part that he doesn't come out

Immediately and instead stands behind the DJ booth Come to find out We didn't go see Snoop Dogg We saw a DJ Snoop a day Delic and he came out to the next episode and then proceeded to play you could have put your iPod on any white person shuffle on shuffle and it would have been the same music. It was it was legitimately like Snoop texted one of his white friends and was like, yo hit me with your iPod playlist. And then he just put that on the whole time. He put on Journey.

Yep. And literally said to a crowd of people in Augusta, Georgia, sing these lyrics. you know the words. Sir, there is not a place on earth that knows the lyrics to that song more than the people in Augusta, Georgia. And so he did that over and over again. Then he kept saying, are you having fun? Dave brought up a good point where what probably happened was it was super expensive

to have Snoop come in and do Snoop Dog things with his actual songs. But his DJ going rate is much lower. And you can kind of hopefully skate by with that. I don't know how everyone else felt. I felt cheated. Totally cheated. And when he kept saying, are you guys? having fun.

Like I said, the first time I was like, fuck yeah, I'm having a great time. I'm drunk. By the 10th one, I was like, no, this stinks. Like, what are you doing? Like, sing a song, man. Yeah, he came out, came out hot. Next episode, it was Snoop Dogg, smoking a blunt. And then it was Journey in the Beatles for a while.

And it felt very odd. So that was Snoop. Thursday, which was the, you know, the kickoff of the Masters. We, uh, we did live shows. We did this live serious. XM radio show from 12 to 2 bars tool what are we rush 93 yeah rush 93 if you're listening today on Friday go check us out we're going to be doing that again we also did and are going to be doing Friday a little pregame show 230 to 3 uh shout out to alice lob who we had on as a guest

today shout out to page franick who we had on the radio show we had page on the radio show so we're bringing the chicks pretty good pretty good day for us just a couple of foreplay guys bringing the chicks who love for Blay. Page left after to the radio show. And as she was leaving, Elise was basically pulling in to do the other show. Yep. It was a good day for us.

Yeah. So really just bringing them in, kicking them out, bringing them in. That's what you do. It was a good day out there. We got the Natty Shack's going to be kicking tomorrow. It's going to be even better when you're listening to this today on Friday. Because today the Natty Shack was still a Midas,

a muffler joint. So yeah, it's still a Midas with like auto experts written on the side of it. And then tomorrow there will be people around. It'll be the Natty Shack. And it'll be a completely different animal. So Friday and Saturday, sun up to sundown, come to the Natty Shack, formerly the Midas, also potentially still the Midas on Washington Road.

first deposit with the promo code four that's f o r e four go to bet dsi dot com use promo code four let's get it all right so we've got one day in the books it was an incredible day for people that like carnage on the golf course uh big day for people who like nobody really like DJ not playing but for drama that's a big drama thing that is i still really can't believe that he's just not playing. I mean, so much happened today with how excited I was because the course played hard and I love when the course plays really hard that I almost have forgotten that DJ is not playing in the fucking Masters after winning three tournaments.

What also played into it is right when it happened, we were very busy. We just got done doing the radio show. We did our live show and then right after the live show, we headed into the tournament. So I don't think I've really even fully processed that Dustin Johnson, the number one player in the world, isn't playing in the Masters. No, and I also thought they were overdoing it on Wednesday. You thought he was going to play. Yeah, I just thought he was going to play.

I'm not saying, I thought they were fakey. I'm not saying he wasn't 100%. I'm not saying it was 100%. I'm just saying that I just thought he was going to play. I thought he was going to play. Yeah, and even earlier in the day today, they said he was feeling better. His trainer said he was feeling better. He was hitting some balls.

And then he didn't even make it to the first tee. He didn't tee it up at all. He said, I can't go and withdrew right then and there. So right out of the gate, we've had a ton of conspiracy theories here. aided by the fact that Dustin Johnson has a interesting past. Yeah, very interesting past. So this isn't some boring guy on tour. Clearly he's the number one guy, so everyone wants to talk about him anyway.

But Dustin Johnson specifically has a little bit of baggage in the past. His wife is Pauline Negretzky. That kind of plays into the drama factor. So right out of the gate, we've already got theories going left and right that it wasn't just, oh, I was in my socks and I slipped down a flight of stairs. So people are alluding to this 2012 situation where basically they cited like the same thing. They came up, they said his back was hurt from trying to lift a fucking jet ski or something. And then it turned out that that was fake.

Right. Which weirdly, and we were talking about this as a group in the house, that makes this back thing more probable than... than ever before because for them to lie about a back twice in a row. So they clearly lied in 2012 and then he probably did hurt his back a couple days ago. And they're like, shit, he actually hurt his back this time. But we got to say because it's the truth. Yes. It would be wild for them to make the same lie twice.

That would be, especially when one of them was exposed as being fake. Right. That would be insane. They would have to be trying to play some next level mind games to lie again. So we're getting we, this, this, I guarantee you this is just some clown that made up this rumor. And for whatever reason, it's gained a ton of traction. So we've gotten from like 15 different people on DMs, emails, this story that DJ was banging somebody else's girlfriend and the guy knocked him down the stairs. That is the story that is like making its way to us.

Okay, let me say this I do not believe that story Okay, I don't either But I don't know I don't think I believe The I'm wearing socks And I fell It's somewhere in between

Yeah So I don't believe that he fell down To flight of stairs Because he was wearing slippery socks I see amount of detail In that release is ridiculous They had it down to the minute It was like 257

He was wearing his favorite Christmas socks And he fucking 258 he moves left foot On to top stair So I certainly 59 down there. I certainly don't believe all of that.

And I definitely don't believe that he was fucking another golfer's girlfriend. The Wednesday before the Masters, the guy found out and threw him down to flight of stairs. It's somewhere in the middle. It's somewhere in the area between those two. No, I definitely don't believe exactly what they're saying either. I'm very curious as to what really happened. Like, unbelievably curious. We're never going to find out.

You don't think we find out? No. Somebody in the house had a good point that. The only way we'll find out is if there's a second party involved. So the story about him allegedly, this rumor that's going around fucking another golfer's girlfriend and throwing him down there. If that's true, that's coming out. That will come out. That will make it out.

That will make it out. That is such a ridiculous. I know. Who comes up with this shit? We have to be clear that that is very sub. That's just a funny, absurd, alleged story that people are sending to. us. We don't believe there's any truth to that. So we're

just talking. It has to, we're just a couple of guys talking. Just a couple golf guys talking on a bed, the same bed at an Augusta. Yeah, we are for the record in my bedroom, in the house. Trent and I are sitting on the same bed and Octagon Bob is sitting in his WrestleMania

folding chair that he got at WrestleMania on Sunday. Nobody is more proud of anything than Rob is of having that chair. With his headphones on, just giggling away. I love this chair. Yeah. He loves a So it's a wild scene. We're just a couple guys talking. The more we talk about it, the more I am inclined to believe that he just fell down a flight of stairs.

Because if it was something like, if it's not as extreme as the example before, and it's something, it would be something as innocent as maybe his son was doing something and they were kind of fake wrestling and he fell down the stairs, they would tell that story. But for them to just say he fell down the flight of stairs, I can't wrap my brain around it. I can't either. I mean, it sucks. It really sucks that he's not. like he's got to be devastated. Yes. He's won three in a row, two WGCs,

number one right player in the world. Coming into the Mazars, I think he finished, what, like top five last year? Fourth or something, T4? I can't remember. Something like that last year, every reason in the world

to believe he's going to at least contend, if not, definitely win this week. Heavy favorite. Now he's just gone. And he's just fucking gone. He didn't miss the cut. He's just gone. He's just fucking gone.

There's, we didn't, It stinks. We get squeaky. Well, it stinks. I really wanted to watch him play too. That was if one guy we didn't get to see really during the practice round that we really wanted to see next day. We allegedly falls down to flight of stairs. We said.

Because it's Christmas. We were disappointed we didn't see him during the practice round, but we said to each other, oh, we'll be able to see him during the tournament. So it's fine. Not happening. And now, I mean, it's sure it opens up the tournament, which will be fun. But it's not a fun without him. Yeah. I mean, it wasn't like he was guaranteed to like.

run away or win or anything but like it's a little bit of robbery that we don't have him we don't have tiger what the fuck's going on around here back injuries man they're motherfucker good news is a lot of other names pretty good day with some drama we saw today we followed rory for his back nine met him at 11 and just kept rolling met him at 11 the up and down he had an 11 first of all the mounds to the right of 11 green are so big that you can't even see the green in certain spots. No, because a lot of guys, their second shots end up, like, the front part of the green. Right.

And where we were standing, right behind the bump, we, every time what shot went over there, we kept thinking it was going on the water. Like, it's in the water. It's in the water. No, it's just behind this huge mound where there's a lot more green behind it. We just couldn't see it. It's so sneaky. When you look on TV, that just looks like a relatively flat little area.

No, that mound is like 12 fucking feet high. It was at almost an eye level with us as we're standing looking at the 11th green. So Rory hits his approach shot. on 11 lands just a hair right of the pen kicks off over by the bunker and he hit this little pitch that landed like five feet short of the green couple bounds dribbled almost stopped and then made it on the green dribble all the way down to the hole and he made like a two-footer for par we caught him again on 13 he hit an approach that came up just short but didn't roll into the into the creek gets up and down for birdie and then we see him on 15 we didn't catch him on 14

really we catch him on 15 yeah snap hooks a t-shot real bad we're with our guy frankie borelli for anybody that's not a big barst to a follower frankie burelli is our boss dave's right-hand man yep he like he like he films the piece of reviews stuff like that all that stuff we're with frankie burrelli who goes on and on about his history as like the best caddy in the world yeah turns out he's got the best catty eyes on the planet. We're walking around the golf course, not even looking in the right direction, and he's like,

oh, that one's got a little bit of a fade on it. We're like, what are you fucking talking about? He's seeing golf balls in the air out of nowhere. Wee's Rory hook a drive. So we met Rory at 11, and we skipped 12 because as awesome as 12 is,

it's hard to see where the T shots land. Yeah. But Frankie Borelli, he was standing right behind 12, and he was calling him out. Like, oh, it's fade. No, it's strong. No, it's going to land left.

It's going to go deep. Craziness. But he spots the, on 15, he sees the Rory shot go snap hook into the trees. Was it in the trees? Yeah, it was like in between some trees on the left side of 15. And we all huddle over there because Frankie's like, I just saw a golf ball over there. We're like, okay, we'll file Frankie. There's only like eight people over there.

We swarm around. It ends up being like 20 people make like a circle around the ball. We don't know whose ball it is yet. Rory walks up. We're like, oh, fuck yeah. He's got like, you know, so 15 was playing really tough today. It was into some wind. So everybody was kind of laying up.

And there's all those trees on the left-hand side that guys have to like hook it around. But Rory's in the left-hand rough. He's got a tree right in front of him. He's got to keep it low. He fucking grabs like a four iron. Walks up a little bit just to kind of see how close he is to the water. He's a little worried about that. Comes back and it looks at his cat.

like, you think I'm going to hit it in the water? He's like, no. And the guy's like, no. And he's like, he gives him the look like, are you sure? Because I'm going to full swing this thing. Roy laughs it off, goes up to the ball, smokes it, full swings it, hooks it around, doesn't hit the water, sets himself up perfectly, and birdies it. Yeah, he hit like, we were, so we were like six feet away from him, maybe, right behind

him. Not even six feet. Right behind him. I was convinced, and we had, we kind of had a sobering moment when we got back to the house because they didn't show the shot at all. But I was convinced this was going to be one of the great shots that we were going to see replays of. So much so that I was wearing the hat that I'm wearing now as a backwards hat. I flipped it around as a company man because I thought I was going to be on TV.

To get the logo. He hit this like low piercing hook that like started low, went straight for a while and then like really started a hook. Caddy's like great shot. We just kind of saw it disappear. Like, okay. It was up there. like further than the other guy's balls, right side of the fairway to a left and hits a wedge in there to like 10 feet, makes the putt.

It was awesome. Being that close to Rory was something. And then on 16, of course, I go to take a piss. You guys said he basically made a hole in one and a half. Yeah, so there's a grandstand as everybody knows on the left side of the 16 T-box. We were behind the T-box itself, which was about four, five, six people deep everywhere. So you can really see. and we saw, oh, oh, it was me, Frank Borelli.

And as soon as we saw Rory was about to hit, we ran around the back, tried to, we got up the back of the grandstands, and just as we got up to the top, security wouldn't let us go any further. Rory hit it, and catty eyes Borelli was like, that looks really good. And I'm like, okay, it looks really good. And it almost whole one. Everyone thought it was going in, and it just smoothed the back side of it.

Roy dropped to his knees, he thought it was so close. So I come out, and you guys are like, oh, my God. do you hear that roar like no i was in the bathroom the bathrooms at auguster are like a fucking nuclear bunker you can't hear anything so i'm like no i didn't hear shit here you gay almost fucking canned it so the whole group did well rory almost made it rom almost made it and then uh i keep forgetting who they're tani hara taniara whatever security guard said it was the best group of the day riggs was taking a best so uh so we got to see that taking a look at the leaderboard we got charley hoffman i've been in a text group all day they're calling him the best

weekday player in the world. I've never been more disappointed than when we came up 18 to watch Roy finish out, and we saw that Red 7 next to Charlie Hoffman's. Yeah, because you can't, you know, you have no idea what's going on in the golf course, especially when you spend some time on holes that don't have one of the main leaderboards. Why don't they have, like, every other tournament, a person following the groups around with their scores? Yeah, they didn't have that. Nothing.

Which is weird. I would assume that they would have had some old school, cool version of that. Yeah. But they don't. So anyways, yeah, we didn't realize until the end. We walked up. We're like, oh, Hoffman's at seven. I'm not, I don't think anybody's worried about him.

No, no, no. There's no way Charlie Hoffman is going to come back down to earth real fast. There's no fucking way. If he does, I'll eat my hat, but he's shot. I mean. But it is discouraging when you see Charlie Hoffman. It's frustrating because it's the day that I wanted where like, there's only going to be a couple people under par.

They're going to be like one or two. under which there are I mean I think I'm looking right here there's only 11 people under par and like almost all of those guys eight of them are at one under we got lee westwood at two under William McGirt who like I mean he might not make the cut at three under and then Hoffman at seven like fuck I was convinced three under was the high watermark for the day and he not he got a seven he's seven under yeah so the scoring average today was 74.9. There's only two guys that broke 70.

And then Hoffman just a casual 65. He did say, you know, he's like this was a miraculous round. He'll never play like that again. We got, we got to talk about this. Like we got Westwood, like I said, at 2 under, and then Sergio at 1 under. Those are just guys that they just,

no matter what they do, I mean, they can't win a major. Sergio has admitted that he'll never win a major. Lee Westwood might as well say the same thing. because he's going to have maybe a good weekend, but it's not going to work out for him. Yeah, and it's funny for Westwood, who's pretty well known for having not being a great putter

and having a pretty shitty short game, I feel like he has had some moments of the Masters where he's kind of really, really been in the mix. Yeah, but that's what it always was with Lee Westwood. He's in the mix, in the mix, and then it just, he never, there's a couple shots down the stretch where it just doesn't work out. I cannot wait. I'm so excited for the two or three,

lips we get over the next three days of Lee Westwood missing like a two and a half foot butt. There's going to be like a handful of those that pop up. It's going to be great. And I like Lee Westwood. Don't get me wrong. Me too. I love Lee Westwood. Some people just have a bad fate.

Yeah. He seems like a great. He's real broad-shouldered too. I like broad-shouldered. He's a big motherfucker. He's a big motherfucker. He's kind of a house. And he seems like a great guy.

He does. I love to see Lee Westwood win. He just is going to miss like a handful of really short puts and it's going to be hilarious. You know who else is a house? John Rom. He's huge. Huge. You called him borderline dumpy today.

Yeah, because Patrick Reed is dumpy. We saw him play. Like, that's a dumpy guy. And then Rom is on the borderline of dumpy. I can't tell on Rob. Is he just like big stocky but kind of like jacked? Or you think he's really like borderline dumpy? I couldn't tell when you said that.

I kept looking at him puzzled and I couldn't figure it out. He's just, I don't. Yeah, he might not be as close to dumpy as I think. He's just big. I don't know how else to describe him. Yeah, we had a couple other guys in there. We had Matthew Fitzpatrick. He made a double on 18.

He's just a mini looking speed. Yeah, who was my other guy? Oh, who else made double on 18? I think Ricky. So he and Ricky both doubled 18 after they had really good rounds going. 18 was playing tough today. We was playing. They had that back right pin and the approach was playing straight downwind.

We saw a bunch of guys airmen. the green. We saw Patrick Reed airmailed it. We saw we talk about Speeth earlier, aero mailed it. So, I mean, there's, there's a good amount of names in there, like we said, especially when you consider that Hoffman is not going to win. So then basically the leads at the three under, which means everybody's in it. Yeah, I'm going to be really mad if Hoffman doesn't come crashing back to Earth. We got Phil. I don't know. If you're not a Phil guy at this day and age, then you're an asshole. There was a stretch there where all the Tiger fans hated Phil. Yeah. Because it was a Tiger versus Phil thing,

even though that rivalry was never all that real. But now with Tiger faded, Phil's just a likable dude who's getting older, who's playing incredible at the age of, I believe, 46. Yeah, I mean, Phil is, I've been talking about him all year. I mean, he still hasn't won in a while, but he's playing great golf. He shot 100 today in those conditions.

You got it. You always got to love Phil and August. Especially he gets a little mojo going, you know? He starts a little swagger out there. Got that smile on a stupid smile on a day. Stupid little Phil smirk smile This master's means a little more to us I want a like a fill in the mix

On Saturday and Sunday Yeah I don't want to I don't want to Charlie Fucking Hoffman no no I told you that like if Hoffman has like a comfortable lead Going into Sunday it's gonna ruin my entire weekend I could not agree more Like this will be a ruin trip for me It'll just wash away that Rory shot

Basically I'll totally forget about it We got our guy Duff Also at one under. Okay. He walked by us today on 15 after hitting his T shot, and Frankie Borelli looked at him and said, oh, he's really aging. He did.

And I was like, that's not a very nice thing to say about somebody, Frankie. It's not, not for a guy who's gone through some tough times in his life. His weight is fluctuating at all times. Dramatically. He was a fat guy who got really, really, really skinny. Now he's becoming a fat guy again.

He's just a better golfer when he's a fat guy. John Daley has said similar things. He said when he got skinny, he missed the love handles that he rested his elbows on when he was putting. I swear to God, that's real. And when he got really skinny, because if you go back, there was a stretch where John Daly was skinny. And he missed his love handles. He looked weird as shit when he was skinny. He did.

He was really really skinny. We also had Thomas Peters, the Belgian. He had a weird day. He was five under through nine or ten, and he kind of faded on the back. Yeah, let me pull this up. He went the old 32-40. He shot, but even par, 72. We got, look at it, Cooch is even par.

Got to love Cooch. We got, I think it's all Freddie Boom, Boom. I saw the 73. All right. That's a hell of a score. If you, you know, forget about Hoffman, he's right in it. Right, yeah, we just basically eliminated Hoffman. No problem.

Just eliminate the leader of the tournament. Eliminate the guy who's clearly playing the best. Yes. Yeah, I mean, Hoffman could. win but he's not going to so it doesn't really matter j t i see is uh he shot at 73 we saw a nice little wed shot from j t on 15 uh so anyways there's a ton of names right there yeah wild day it's supposed to be windy as hell again friday saturday sunday is supposed to be perfect saturday and sunday is supposed to really nice so hopefully we get situation where a little bit more carnage tomorrow hoffman shoots like

80 the leaders are like around two or three four under and then they can play some real golf on the weekend start making some birdies out there attacking pins yep it should be a good time i mean we're we're at augusta we're in augustia we're going to augusta national every single day this week and this weekend it's going to be fun regardless i just want to see some drama if you're in augusta friday and saturday natty shack son up to sundown natty shack natty shack natty shack natty shacks smile's got to natty tor our boy smiley coffman's going to be there he's going to be hanging out we got TVs.
