You're listening to the Downbeat on ninetyseven to one, the freak. I
made it. I'm so nervous.I made it. The hour and eleven
minutes that we weren't allowed to talkgolf anything, I was gonna make it.
This is a downbeat. It's KevinTurner, Daniel Bayliss, Hello,

(00:20):
It's Michael Siroy Hello. Kevin isa very kind of an informal name.
It is, you know, yeah, Daniel, Michael, those are very
Daniel, Paul, Danny or Mike. But then you have the formal option
to go to Kevin. It doesnot have a more formal option to go

(00:42):
to, just like people named Scott. keV. No, that's less informal.
keV oh is keV O Maybe ismore formal. I think ke is
more formal. And it's like ifyour Chad and your name is not Chadwick,
like Chadwick, you have a beautifulformal option. If it is just
Chad, you have no more formaloption to go to. He's Kevin Turner,
Yep, he's Daniel Bayliss. I'mMichael Sarroy, right, I'm Kevin

(01:07):
Olturner. We talked masters early thismorning. The Masters begins tomorrow, Augusta
National Golf Club, and we're gonnaput together a doozy of a bet.
It's it's convoluted, if probably toomuch. It's one that we may have,
we may we may start this andit just make it confusing. I
don't know what's gonna happen, butwe want to make it more fun than
ever before. We'll get to thatin just a minute. The headlines that

(01:30):
you need to know for the Masters, which begin tomorrow in Augusta, Georgia.
Weather is a concern. There's nothingworse than being so pumped for the
f and Masters to start. Andit's and especially to us, this job
is my first morning drive Masters.Yeah, first time where it's like I
get here and it's go time.Our heroes are on the course. There's

(01:53):
nothing worse than tomorrow morning if weget here and they start coverage and there's
nothing but rain. And that isthe morning forecast for tomorrow and Augusta is
rain galore. We're full, RickyMartined up over here, Aye ready to
go, and they're gonna give uswhat's become known as s Butt City.

(02:15):
Might be s but city. Nowit looks like it'll just last Thursday first
half of the day. I doexpect them. Hey, as we know,
we were sure that we're gonna havenothing of a cloud cover for this
damn eclipse, and the clouds broke. Even twenty four hour forecasts are not
necessarily accurate, so it might justdrizzle, Maybe they get lucky, maybe

(02:37):
there's no interruption in play, Butall signs do point to either a delay
in the beginning of the tournament tomorrowor sporadic play throughout. But after that,
it's gonna be cool. It's gonnabe good. But yeah, a
good weekn finish fine, Yeah,it's gonna be good. Fight through the
early days of this. Yeah,So we figure, as we're wont to

(02:58):
do, we would place some sortof wager' on it. So this would
be your twenty twenty four Masters gamblingbet party. Here's the rules. We're
picking seven golfers each okay. Theyeach have to fit one of seven different
categories, and when you pick,you must declare which spot you're filling.

(03:22):
These seven categories are a PGA Tourmember, oh easy, A live golf
member okay, a Texan oh someone'sknown either as a golfer from Texas or
that famously lives in Texas. Nowan international anyone not from the United States,

(03:44):
Canadians count Corey Connors, counts aformer champion, a long shot,
someone who's one hundred to one,and then a wildcard can be absolutely anyone.
Seven golfers for each of us.You have to fill those seven slots.
So we can't just go in inorder of odds. We do have
a shot in front of us.With the odds and with the categories that

(04:05):
those golfers fall into. If they'rea former champion, should say that next
to it, PGA Live, whateverit is Texan and we'll go off of
the payment they get for whatever placethey get. Yep. And if you
miss the cut and golf, ifyou miss the cut, you get nothing,
right, zero moneys. Really you'rein a hole because you had to

(04:25):
fly out there. So zero dollarsif you miss the cut. If you
make it, if you're in firstplace, whatever the thing is made from
the safety pin? Yeah, yeah, is these live guys? You're like,
what's the deal with this purse?Someone did say that four hundred dollars
in eighteen seventy five that the manwho admitted the safety pin got paid would

(04:45):
be the equivalent of eleven thousand dollarstoday. I saw it ranged from eleven
to fifteen thousand. Yeah, soby any metric, he got screwed.
Who will get screwed today? Inthe twenty twenty four Masters bet, what
are we playing for Kevin? We'vedetermined after a long discussion that this will
involve food and it will involve feet. The loser of this bet will have

(05:15):
to send three tweets out, noton their own, though retweeting another,
preferably local celebrities tweet. I havemy sight selling mayor Eric Johnson right now.
For whatever reason, you retweet somebody'sexisting tweet that is a local celebrity.
Yeah, and then it's a tweetof you, whether it's a short
video or stin image of you,and your foot is covered in foodt be

(05:41):
covered in food, barefoot and food. As a simple reply to a celebrities
tweet, I think one needs tobe your foot being dipped into some mashed
potatoes. You don't get to determinethat. I think one of them has
to be. You can do whateveryou want, so imagine that feet and
food. Because we did have alot of success with Kevin's lost bet,
where he had to retweets and simplywrite wood smash. Yeah, keep it

(06:06):
simple. That was funny. LongNFL bet where we have some wacky pair
These can be simple where we doa lot of bets. So it's not
like, I mean, we're havingto pick seven people. They gotta fight.
This is already convoluted enough. Ilove it, but let's not convolute
the payoff. Let's make it tight. Okay, put your tootsies in a
bowl of yogurt. You are wastingvaluable airtime after a Cynthia is a ghett

(06:30):
tweet. Okay, that's fine.That's an example of what you could do
barefoot and food as the photographic retweetthree of them in a week. One
of them is going to require youcleaning your foot up. Okay, at
least one of them. All right, choose I'm the one who loses all
the bets. I don't know whyyou guys are so scared. Scared.
We're going to the spinner wheel.We will be doing a snake draft.

(06:53):
This spin is for the runner up. This will be the second pick in
the draft. Maddie, we turnmy competer up. Spin is for the
second pick in the draft. Okay, oh boy, Kevin at seven is
really Kevin at two? All right, winner of this? This is for
what first pick? Or for thefirst pick in the draft? Okay,

(07:17):
come on, I'll take it.I need this big mind, damn it.
Yes, Mike is the one.All right, take draft Danny three.
I picked first pick second, Dannyis third. It's a snake draft.
We have to choose seven golfers.They have to fit these categories.
PGA player, live player, aTexan and international, a former champion,

(07:38):
a long shot that's one hundred andto one or longer, or and a
wild card. I am first onthe clock. I am choosing as my
Texan Scottie Scheffler, Scotty Schiffer,Texan. Okay, get I with the
number two pick. Jeez, I'mnot a hard. I did not want

(08:01):
to end up with the number twopick. It is already hard. I
will do it. I will takeas my international man. Got hit too
risky, No screw that, I'mtaking as my international man. Hi,
Deki Matsuyama. I don't love it. I don't love it. Okay,

(08:26):
So we don't know how we're gonnamelt down here with these rules. International.
Oh that's so hard to kill theball, Danny, two picks.
This is good, Danny. Oh, it's so tough. I'll take Rory
as international. Okay, Rory's international. Mm hmm, I should have done
that. I'm already mad at this. Yeah, you already kind of I

(08:50):
love it, though, Danny,Okay, uh m hmmm. I'm gonna
take ram as my live oh live, um as you're live boy. That
hurt. I messed up big time, No wonder I can lose all these

(09:11):
bets. I make stupid decisions.That's terrible what I did. I feel
so stupid for doing that. Youcan screw other people in this game.
I like that. You're okay,I'm okay. I will go with the
Texan man. Damn it. Thisis so maddening to me because I fraid

former champion. We are now jugglingbetween Pat Reid. We are juggling
between Adam Scott, and we werejuggling between Sergio Garcia and I gotta tell
you Sergio nifty around the greens.But pat Reid, what about Tiger?
What about Bubba? What about PatReid? Always seems to play pretty good
here, Sergio nifty around has beenplaying well. But no, I don't

(17:23):
trust either one of them. Itrust and all see in honor of Greg
Chalmers, who once hit two peopleand his first two shots at the Masters.
I will pick Adam Scott as myformer champion. I got the great
pick, Mike, you have two. This will wrap up your team.
You need a wild card and youneed a long shot. That's a good

(17:45):
long shot. Thank you. Asmy long shot. I will select I
like so many, that's the that'smy current kind of the most fun one
vjsing. It has to be orworse right, where is uh Russell Henley's

(18:14):
sixty to one? Well, ifRussell Henley's looking at you, looking at
you, Max Homer, my suck. I'm gonna take you know what I
will take Sergio Garcia. Okay,long shot, that's a good long shot.

(18:36):
This is the final selection. Thisis me wild card selection. Wild
card could be anyone. And youhave ober Jt. You have the ninth
favorite sitting there on the board forme, and I'm going to look past
him and I'm going to take JustinThomas. I can't believe you just did

(18:59):
that as my uh card. Whereyou can pick absolutely anyone, Kevin,
who did you take? Adam Scottis my former champion former So this leaves
me with a long shot, mylong shot. Looking at it, I
would have considered Sergio. I don'tkind of like what you did there,
thank you. I absolutely hate theform of sung Jay m I'm m oh

(19:26):
boy the stuff Nick Taylor, Phil, I mean, Phil, is there?
You finished second last year second?But I think in days like this
you can't. You gotta go withyour gut here. And I just love
the ball striking ability of the rightand I do mean decent Chris Kirk.

(19:49):
Really Chris Kirk, boy, Iwant to back off that go on?
Yeah, okay, and last withlong shot, Uh yeah, cat change
that to Taylor Moore. Absolutely,Taylor Moore is my my long show.
I like that a lot better.And we'd like to congratulate Chris Kirk for

(20:10):
winning the Masters. And I'm takingthe picture of my foot would be my
foot into my own ass. LookTiger is tempting, Oh dude, Yes,
I kind of would love to havehim represented in this. I also

(20:30):
think that he already took surge.I think Ricky Fowler is interesting. Yeah,
but I'm going with old lefty failtill till you went through a drive
through in your green jacket. It'stime to hit an RBS way home,

(20:55):
Guys, I've added an eighth,an eighth golfer to the board. We
all get Tiger on the team.Okay, we all get Tiger no matter
what. Sex it up a littlebit. That's funny. This Okay that
I was busy, hard and hard, but I think that's a pretty cool
way to do it. It's funbrilliant. The categories are all there.
I love that I got Dustin Johnson, Mike love it go, Scottie Scheffler,

(21:21):
Jordan Speith, Xander Schoffley, JokeNeeman, Cam Smith, Sergio and
Justin Thomas. It's a team ofwinners. I went Matsiyama, Zalatoris,
Koepka, Wyndham Clark, Tony fenwAdam Scott, Taylor Moore, Danny Rory,
Rom Bryce and d Schambeau, DustinJohnson, Victor Hovlin, Patrick Cantley

(21:42):
and Phil Mickelson. Straight up,Manda Man, I think Mike has the
best team, but I kind ofthink it ended up being a little closer
than I thought at the end.Now that I'm looking at it, you
think you've saved your draft with yourlate back half. I don't think I
got the guy that's gonna win it, but I think I got a team
that could accrue lots of moneys.Dude, it's the Masters. Anything.

(22:03):
I'm sorry, it's the Masters.Anything can happen. We've seen it year
in, year out. Expect theunexpected. I love what you just did
there. I love what we alldid. That was an Master's draft,
and we will see what happened.I think Kevin probably has to the average
golf viewer probably has the most obscureteam. I would say, right,

(22:25):
yeah, you could have taken ramAs You're international right out of the gate.
I know I screwed up. Itold you I didn't have a great
plan. I messed up, andyou could have gone former champion Matsam if
you want to do that or ROMsfor me. I folded under pressure,
and I often did that. We'llsee what happens. You don't, you
don't. You rise up under pressureand you shine. I just see the
brightest lights are on. I seetop four odds makers and Kevin doesn't have

(22:52):
any of them, true, andyou and I each have two. Mm
hm, that's very good. Allright, let's see what happens. I
just don't want to have after retweet. We'll post him up at Katie fun
