of masters reading.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Oh hey, can I ask a question about the Masters?
When did when did it?
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Like?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
What year is this for the master? How long has
the Master's been around?
Speaker 3 (00:15):
I don't know. I can look it up.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
One hundred and ten, ninety ninety years?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Ninety?
Speaker 5 (00:21):
Has it?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Really?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I don't know?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
That didn't even blame is it?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
So the Masters have been around for ninety Is it
the oldest major in golf?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Or is the British Open?
Speaker 6 (00:35):
Now?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Okay, well Christian you can say probably British.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
I'm asking at Saint Andrew's. That's where you get the
Claret jug not always it sand.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
But it's not always there. Sometimes we move it around.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
The Open Championship. Is the one hundred and fifty fourth
this year?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Holy crap?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Yeah, So that's that is by far the oldest it
has to apparently, So the that's old?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
So it's not always at Saint Andrews, but but it's
been to Saint Andrews a number of times.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Uh, And the Masters were at ninety, were at ninety.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
It's actually in twenty twenty seven going to be back
at St.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Andrews oh is it really?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Oh good?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
So they're obviously they were underway.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Last year's winner, as we all know, was Rory McElroy
got finally got the uh, the the proverbial monkey off
his back.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
He comes all that research.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It got after.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
It is there before I get to my pick.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Who did you pick last year?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I don't know. It was somebody good?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Was it the kid within vis a line?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Who was that?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
There was a I picked somebody who had was there
a mixed something braces Fitzpatrick Roy?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
No, Fitzpatrick? Yeah? Was it Michael Fitzpatrick.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Jack? I don't know whatever. I don't even know if
that's who I picked fortieth, that's not it.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
No, but at some point you have chosen him. Yes,
I can go back here and you don't have to.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
It's no big deal.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
I'm just I'm wondering who I chose last year, if
they're even in it this year?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
My guy?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
No, not the one you are picking. The one you picked.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Last last year. No, that's what I mean. Did I
pick Rory?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
No? That's why I explained to Sarah yesterday. You don't
pick a favorite.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
No, I won't like it'd be I could come in
and go, oh, Scotti Scheffler, who, by the way, is
not going to win this year.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
He also gets very certain with his pick that the
no one else is capable of winning.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Then why why would I pick him?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Well, you can pick someone to do well right when
you bet. You don't just have to pick a winner.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I'm picking a winner. Scotty Scheffler's not winning this year?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
What is she yelling?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Michael Scott, Stuart Scott, Chris Din I can't hear you.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
It's sound proof.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
I can't lip read.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
Well, I've discovered, Oh, you know who you need going
back to earlier if you get the Daily Mail Plus subscription,
they have a lot of like lip readers on there
who are reading conversation anyway.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
We need them here to Can I ask a question
about the Masters in general? Has the Masters? Has the Masters.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Like the Masters are very regal and very classy? Have
they kind of jumped the shark?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Oh, because of the way it's being marketed.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Well, yesterday was all Jason Kelsey.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yesterday was all like the whole like the whole kid thing.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Well, that's gone on for some time, has it. Everyone
now wants to know if Frankie Fleetwood's ever going to
be able to drive the of the ninth.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, yep.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Anyway, he certainly gets his kids out in front of
the camera. Isn't he the one who was afraid to
bring his wife anywhere because he's so much older?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Oh? Yes, you're right. Wasn't Chris Rock out there yesterday? Also? Yeah,
god damn it. Elliott, God damn it. That's who I
was thinking of.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
But what was he doing? Was he I don't know,
participating or doing together?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
He was doing like Jason Kelsey where he was like
sitting on a hill.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Were they was it? I know it's the Part three contest,
but we're so they weren't playing at all?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
I saw Jason Kelsey?
Speaker 7 (04:39):
Was it?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Definitely Jason?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I saw Jason.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Kelsey sit up, set up a chair and he was
wearing like the the Caddy outfit and was just like
talking to people like like he was eating sandwiches. Well,
he had a cooler with him. Also, Kevin Hart, same
thing he was. He wasn't golfing.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
He was just doing.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Bits right, celebrity caddy. So you need someone to call
in who has been watching for decades.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
But are there are there masters purists who are like
this is where?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Because then they talk about and I don't know what
this is from, but whoever is whoever runs Augusta did
something with like Bryson Deshambeau and Dude Perfect where they
were playing.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Like frisbee recently. I think this goes back a couple
of years.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
That makes more sense.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, and they were like, that's not what we use
Augusta for, and that now they're just turning it into
like don't they let a bunch of people with Like
there's the.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Whole no phone policy at Augusta.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
We learned all about that within the last couple of years.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
But I think that now they're letting like influencers out
there with their phones to like shoot videos and stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I don't tell Mark Calcavecia.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
The what did he do?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
He's an old golfer, right, Yeah, didn't he supposedly get
kicked out?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
We're using his phone? Yeah, well, you can't have it
both ways.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
According to Golf Week, he was escorted from Augusta National
Bisecurity in a phone related incident. He's not an influencer though,
He's just the age. He doesn't have enough Open Champion,
doesn't have enough followers. He class played in two thousand
and eight. I played in eighteen Masters.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
So Elie, do you you feel like they're making sort
of a mockery of it, Like a lot of Olympic
purists don't like the Snoop Dogg thing because it's not serious.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Isn't Kevin hard a part of that? The yes, the
let me check, maybe it's Chris rock Elley here, the
it's not the no no.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
But I wonder is that is that like people get
mad at me for being a baseball purist? Are I'm
assuming they're a golf purist. That'll be like Augusta is
Augusta this sacred ground. I don't need Jason Kelsey sitting
up on a hill eating sandwiches and drinking beer. That's
(07:09):
the waste management. But yesterday is, which looks like it's
a thousand times more fun. Yesterday isn't the tournament right.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Today? Is Jason Kelsey a part of the coverage?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Oh? That? I thought he was?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Oh so he's going to be around for.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I thought he was.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I thought Jason Kelsey was isn't CBS. I thought Jason
Kelsey was doing commentary for I could be wrong. Maybe
it was just yesterday. I thought it was for the
whole thing.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I don't know. Now is your pick going to be
part of this new wave young group of golfers or
is it going to be somebody who would agree.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
That is, see what you're doing, I'll get there, Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Augusta National Golf Club doesn't make mistakes and if they do,
they are quick to address them.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
That's what they said this year. Jason Kelsey, here.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
You go, serving for a commentator of the Part three
contest and making a spectacle of himself during practice rounds
this week when patrons can bring cameras onto the course.
Influencers from the clubhouse to Amen corner posed before the
iconic pines, fairways and flags at Augusta National and they
were told you could use phones, but people were doing videos.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
But that's just prior So maybe that ends as of
seven forty this morning.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, but still wouldn't you not want it at your club?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Yeah? So this is people protecting or trying to protect
Augusta National.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Oh also they said that, and I don't know this part.
I don't know what the deal is with merch, Like,
if you go you obviously can get merch.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Right.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I understand that we talked about the Gnomes.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Says the Masters is edging into the treacherous world of fashion,
tiptoeing closer to the dreaded all caps and upside down
logos and not sticking to very traditional merch which again
I don't care about that. I will never wear anything
that says the Master is on it unless my guy
wins this weekend. But I don't know, Like, I don't
(09:15):
know that that bothers me. But would a purist say,
go do that elsewhere? We don't do it at Augusta.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Just do the little yellow logo with the flash.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Very iconic, Oh, absolutely, very iconic.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Last year you picked for the Masters, I believe Russell Henley.
You don't remember that name?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
No, I actually I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
That would be hysterical if you're like, after all this research,
I have picked Russell Henley.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Can I go to line one?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Elliot in the morning? How did he do last year?
Speaker 4 (09:57):
He is taking part this year?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah, of course he is, so, I mean, former champions
are always invited back. I'm sorry, yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Who is this?
Speaker 7 (10:06):
This is Rich?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Rich?
Speaker 8 (10:07):
How are you good yourself?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I'm doing great? Thank you? Are you a big Masters guy?
Speaker 8 (10:13):
Big Masters guy?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Right?
Speaker 8 (10:15):
I'm on my way home and I'm pretty much gonna
be set up washing it for the whole for four days.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Right except for Sunday afternoon during the Capital's Penguins game,
which could be ovi's last home game. The has has
Augusta or the Masters jumped the shark.
Speaker 8 (10:35):
In what terms?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Like has it become too much of a show and
not and not the what? What is?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
What's the right word this circus?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I mean, yeahs it is it becoming too much of
a circus and not a purest golf course.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (10:53):
I mean when you look at it from a spectators viewpoint,
you think it's it's not because like when you go
to the course. I've had a couple of friends get
selected for tickets there. You know, you go there, you're
not allowed to bring your phone. You have to respect
(11:13):
the grounds and pretty much live in the moment, I
think outside like people that do like these big Watch parties,
is where it kind of gets to be a little
bit of the circus.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
What do you mean by so, like like if I
were having a big Watch party at my house, it
gets to be a big circus.
Speaker 8 (11:31):
Yeah, Like people like you hear people that they do
Master Watch parties and oh.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You know what, I don't I don't have a problem
with that. Like if like, if I'm here, I'm not
in Augusta, Like I have no chance to get in.
So if I were going to have a couple of
buddies over or fifty buddies over, I was gonna set
up a screen on the side of my house that
like that doesn't bother me, right.
Speaker 8 (11:55):
Yeah, But I think I don't think the actual Augusta
is a circus. I think like the stuff that they
do beforehand, the par three contest, the chip and putt
with the kids and stuff like that, it's great for
the game, it's great for community relations and stuff like that.
And then they put they do put some fun into it,
(12:17):
Like yesterday Jason Kelsey was a caddy for uh ask
Case Papia, Kevin Harr was caddy and for Bryson, and
they put some fun into it.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
That's what people are complaining about, though, is they don't
want them there.
Speaker 8 (12:33):
Yeah, And I can see both sides of it. You know,
you're you're putting a lot of spotlight onto celebrities that
you know, you never really saw play the game of
golf before, right or anything like that. But then it
also shows people that hey, Kevin Hart plays golf. Now
(12:54):
maybe I'll get into it and start playing.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
You know what, I like that spin. I like that spin.
That's good. Good for you, all right, dude, I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Yes, Tyler, I think Hugh hit the nail on the
head for you, elliot, because you did identify yourself as
a baseball.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
When it comes to baseball. This would bother me.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So Hugh, and I'm paraphrasing, Hugh says, are they moving
the masters from Augusta to Savannah?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Oh the bananas?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yes, yes, Oh, by the way, that's perfect, that's perfect.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Yeah, are these the Augusta bananas? Now?
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Of course they play banana ball, not golf, right, and
the rules are different.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yes, But I understand what he's saying, Like now, it's
just becoming a circus.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
But when the starters, like every player and Jack Nicholas, oh.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
They'll probably have to do a choreograph line dance when
they have to go out.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I'm saying, when they walked out on the first tea
this morning, is that when everyone gets serious.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Maybe today, But fast forward, we're on a downhill run.
You're three years away from them doing somersaults.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Your pick last year did not make the cut.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
God damn it.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Finished three over. I believe I read Hi.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Elliot the morning. Hi.
Speaker 9 (14:13):
Yeah, I'm from Augusta originally I live in Edgewater now
or church in kind of you know, southern Maryland.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
But either way, if the Masters left Augusta, I'm pretty
sure it would destroy the entire Augusta economy.
Speaker 8 (14:28):
I believe the CSL.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Would ever recover because I've lived in.
Speaker 9 (14:32):
Savannah for about five years after I lived in Augusta
when I was in the army there, and I cannot.
I don't think there's room to hold the Masters in Savannah.
And like I said that, the entire Augusta economy is
built around those two weeks.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Like there's an IRS clause that they had to add
for people who rent their houses for those two weeks
because they'll get like their whole year's worth of mortgage goes.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Oh I'm sure, I'm sure. And uh so yeah, have
you ever been? Have you ever been?
Speaker 7 (15:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (15:05):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
You can enter the lottery when you're a resident and
we won one year.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Oh, good for you, good for you?
Speaker 7 (15:10):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Are you are? Are you an Augusta purist?
Speaker 5 (15:16):
What does that mean?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Like?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Does it bother you that like Jason Kelsey is sitting
out there with his big beer belly.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
Nah.
Speaker 9 (15:23):
Now I just remember who is that guy, the Daily
guy who used to Hooters and get oh John Daily.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Yeah, there we go, Yeah, there we go. All right,
very good, thank you sir? Yes, Tyler?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Was this a good deal? Back in February, a friend
text texted this, Uh, looking to sell two Thursday Friday
Masters badges, asking four k total one K per badge
per day. Want someone within our circle so it's not
a bunch of randos running the risk that these get
(15:54):
pulled in the future. Should we have looked into that more?
Is that good? Probably?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
You don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I mean, well you I mean you can't put a
price tag on them.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Well yeah you can, no, But like you're not, I'm
not getting tickets to go to the Masters.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
But I didn't even bring that up to you. I
didn't think you would have cared.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I would have gone. Not was it during the week
I'd have gone to the weekend.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
One Thursday Friday.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Oh, I wouldn't know.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
I should have told Kristin.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I'd have gone on Friday.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Did I tell Kristen?
Speaker 6 (16:23):
No?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
By the way, another texta that came through when I
woke up this morning. And I'm not getting into this,
but I will just read not to be a gossip.
But were you guys aware that hmmmm got divorced and
now HMM has seventy five thousand Instagram followers where she
talks about what a piece of ss he is? No,
we can't, that's as far we can't. We can't get
(16:45):
into that.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
You can just say yes or no.
Speaker 10 (16:48):
No, it's not it's not just damn it. Oh you
were because yes, that's horrible. We love Alex the No,
I love Jess, I know, not.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
The what's the guy from Savannah Bananas? Jesse Cole?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Oh no, oh that's what they should do.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Instead of a green jacket, it's a green tuxedo.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Line four. And then I want to do my picks.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Hi elliot in the morning, Hey, good morning.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Hey, who's this? Yes? What can I do for you?
Speaker 7 (17:26):
I was actually at the practice round on Monday with
my dad.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Oh were you really?
Speaker 7 (17:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Do you have video?
Speaker 7 (17:33):
No video? Just photos?
Speaker 6 (17:36):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Let me? Are you? Are you a big golf guy?
Speaker 7 (17:40):
My dad is?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Your dad is right?
Speaker 1 (17:43):
And I was going to say, so, what a special
moment to be able to take your father, right, that's
pretty cool. And was it was it as special and
great as he wanted it to be.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
It was, yeah, ye see in all a men corner
and all the special places. Yeah that was great.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yeah, no, no, And but that's what I mean, that's
where it is. It is such a bucket list for people.
It is such a mecca for people that they're like,
I don't know that I need Jason Kelcey sitting there
eating sandwiches and drinking beer. And again I'm not down
on Jason Kelsey. I don't care, but do the purest
hate it. And that's what I was reading yesterday, that
(18:23):
we're on a slippery slope towards towards the Savannah bananas.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
If I could steal from huge in veiny.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
No, I think it's the early days. Is just the
fun stuff, and then when the tournament starts, people take
it and.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Then then were locked in. Then we're locked in. All right,
very good, very good, Thank you. I go ahead, are
you going here?
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I was gonna.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I can tell you I I focused in on three
people yesterday.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
I will be very honest. Two of them I had
never heard of.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Hold on the drone is doing that shotdown Magnolia Lane,
thinking I wait to the clubhouse.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
One of them, one of them, I've heard of. Two
of them I had never heard of before. Okay, the
one that I had heard of, I'm not taking, but
I would understand why he would win.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Who was Bryson Deshamba? No, let me please please.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
He's done very very well over the last couple of
years and has had heartbreak and is kind of like,
you got to lose to win.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
How many times have we heard that you have to
lose to win?
Speaker 3 (19:31):
He's got like the third best odds.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I didn't say I took him.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
I know, but this is a weird pick. I just
told you right, or told everyone how. You don't do this.
You don't pick the faves, don't even list them.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Oh, I didn't even know that he was a favorite
to win. I honestly I had no idea. I will
tell you this, he's not winning. He will continue to
learn to lose before he can win. The second person,
who I read a lot of good press about, I'm
not going to be able to say his name properly.
(20:09):
He's twenty four years old. People believe that may be
a little too much pressure on the kid. He played
in the He played for the He repped the US
and the Junior Ryder Cup in the Junior President's Cup.
His parents are from India, but he's from California.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Can you hear my stomach? I can at Akshay Badia
batiya batiya ak Shay Batilla. I did not go with him.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Seeing off at nine fifty five in group twelve with

you thought that was it?
Speaker 7 (22:54):
So who is it?
Speaker 1 (22:55):
The winner of the twenty twenty six Augusta National Masters turn.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Sam Stevens.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Okay, I thought I thought we ran into a problem
like we have in the past, because he's not there.
There was no Sam Stephens on the t time list.
No he is. He is listed, but as Samuel.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Oh, thank god, Oh, I'm sorry? You want you want me?
To go with his birth certificate. Nate Samuel Stephens.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Yes, yes, doesn't matter that he's from Fort Worth.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
The I don't care.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Sam T's off at eleven o three, okay, perfect, He's
probably going with Rory No.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Eleven o three is my guy. I read a ton
about him yesterday and kid can fly?
Speaker 3 (23:53):
What are we talking in terms of h and by
the way, you know the other thing.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
The other thing.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Although you know whose name was right above, it didn't
at some point last year because last year he picked
for all the majors, Sarah, didn't you pick Ben Griffin?
Speaker 7 (24:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah, yeah, big bad Ben Griffin. Absolutely, I did the
I don't care what the odds are. I don't I
don't care what the odds say.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
What do you want me to do? Pick Scotty Scheffler,
who's not winning this year?
Speaker 9 (24:19):
Now?
Speaker 3 (24:20):
I will say this last Sam, he was saying that too.
You said Scotty will not win?
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Right?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
And did he knew?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Did you got really down on Scheffler because his heart
you thought was no longer.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I thought he didn't care.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
No, because he did that interview where he's like, nah,
I was like, if you don't care, get out of
the way.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Let somebody else play. So in terms of this is
Sam Stevens.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
There's a lot of good there's a lot of good
wind underneath him.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
But this is his Master's debut, the I believe. So
how is he faired in other majors?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
I only care about one major?
Speaker 3 (24:52):
US No PGA Championship, tied for sixtieth last year, US Open,
tied for twenty third.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Beautiful, beautiful, uh US Open harder course.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Where did they play that last year?
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I don't know. I like this guy though.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
You know the other thing I learned there is zero
advantage being left handed or right handed at the Masters,
and everybody's like, oh, he's a lefty.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
It plays well for lefties. Total bs well have.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
The good weather? Isn't this there driest in a decade forecast?
The first time no rain in the decade will benefit him, Sam,
Because didn't you tell us last year?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Oh there was one year where it was raining, and
I picked the guy who plays well in the rain.
Wasn't that wasn't that wasn't that? Did I pick a Connor?
Did I pick a Connor Connor Spinale?
Speaker 2 (25:44):
No Connor?
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Is it Connor Connor story? Connors story? Yes, must have
been good in the rain anyway.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
No, Connor, story's the hockey guy. Well, the fake hockey
guy is Cory Connors. I don't know, whatever, it doesn't matter,
you know, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
You know.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
He's also not winning.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
You like to say and say with jelly rowl, there's
a reason that the windshields larger than the than the
rear view.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Yes, exactly, the wind the windshields larger than the rear
view mirror. You're twenty twenty six augusta National Master's champion.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Watch Sarah hell to look down on his paper because
he forgets what he picked.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Samuel Stevens.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
That's a tradition like any other. The final glance at
I want.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
To pronounce the name right.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
It was a difficult one, Okshase Like, does.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
He never heard of that kid?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
No? Not Well I've never heard of Boxha or sam
Bryce and I'd heard of but he's also not winning.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
No reason to take Osha also losing winning. Samuel Stevens
I did a lot of masters reading yesterday, a lot
of masters reading.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Oh hey, can I ask a question about the Masters?
When did when did it?
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Like?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
What year is this for the master? How long has
the Master's been around?
Speaker 3 (00:15):
I don't know. I can look it up.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
One hundred and ten, ninety ninety years?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Ninety?
Speaker 5 (00:21):
Has it?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Really?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I don't know?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
That didn't even blame is it?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
So the Masters have been around for ninety Is it
the oldest major in golf?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Or is the British Open?
Speaker 6 (00:35):
Now?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Okay, well Christian you can say probably British.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
I'm asking at Saint Andrew's. That's where you get the
Claret jug not always it sand.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
But it's not always there. Sometimes we move it around.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
The Open Championship. Is the one hundred and fifty fourth
this year?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Holy crap?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Yeah, So that's that is by far the oldest it
has to apparently, So the that's old?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
So it's not always at Saint Andrews, but but it's
been to Saint Andrews a number of times.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Uh, And the Masters were at ninety, were at ninety.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
It's actually in twenty twenty seven going to be back
at St.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Andrews oh is it really?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Oh good?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
So they're obviously they were underway.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Last year's winner, as we all know, was Rory McElroy
got finally got the uh, the the proverbial monkey off
his back.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
He comes all that research.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It got after.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
It is there before I get to my pick.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Who did you pick last year?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I don't know. It was somebody good?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Was it the kid within vis a line?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Who was that?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
There was a I picked somebody who had was there
a mixed something braces Fitzpatrick Roy?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
No, Fitzpatrick? Yeah? Was it Michael Fitzpatrick.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Jack? I don't know whatever. I don't even know if
that's who I picked fortieth, that's not it.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
No, but at some point you have chosen him. Yes,
I can go back here and you don't have to.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
It's no big deal.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
I'm just I'm wondering who I chose last year, if
they're even in it this year?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
My guy?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
No, not the one you are picking. The one you picked.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Last last year. No, that's what I mean. Did I
pick Rory?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
No? That's why I explained to Sarah yesterday. You don't
pick a favorite.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
No, I won't like it'd be I could come in
and go, oh, Scotti Scheffler, who, by the way, is
not going to win this year.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
He also gets very certain with his pick that the
no one else is capable of winning.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Then why why would I pick him?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Well, you can pick someone to do well right when
you bet. You don't just have to pick a winner.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I'm picking a winner. Scotty Scheffler's not winning this year?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
What is she yelling?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Michael Scott, Stuart Scott, Chris Din I can't hear you.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
It's sound proof.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
I can't lip read.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
Well, I've discovered, Oh, you know who you need going
back to earlier if you get the Daily Mail Plus subscription,
they have a lot of like lip readers on there
who are reading conversation anyway.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
We need them here to Can I ask a question
about the Masters in general? Has the Masters? Has the Masters.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Like the Masters are very regal and very classy? Have
they kind of jumped the shark?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Oh, because of the way it's being marketed.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Well, yesterday was all Jason Kelsey.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yesterday was all like the whole like the whole kid thing.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Well, that's gone on for some time, has it. Everyone
now wants to know if Frankie Fleetwood's ever going to
be able to drive the of the ninth.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, yep.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Anyway, he certainly gets his kids out in front of
the camera. Isn't he the one who was afraid to
bring his wife anywhere because he's so much older?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Oh? Yes, you're right. Wasn't Chris Rock out there yesterday? Also? Yeah,
god damn it. Elliott, God damn it. That's who I
was thinking of.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
But what was he doing? Was he I don't know,
participating or doing together?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
He was doing like Jason Kelsey where he was like
sitting on a hill.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Were they was it? I know it's the Part three contest,
but we're so they weren't playing at all?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
I saw Jason Kelsey?
Speaker 7 (04:39):
Was it?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Definitely Jason?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I saw Jason.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Kelsey sit up, set up a chair and he was
wearing like the the Caddy outfit and was just like
talking to people like like he was eating sandwiches. Well,
he had a cooler with him. Also, Kevin Hart, same
thing he was. He wasn't golfing.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
He was just doing.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Bits right, celebrity caddy. So you need someone to call
in who has been watching for decades.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
But are there are there masters purists who are like
this is where?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Because then they talk about and I don't know what
this is from, but whoever is whoever runs Augusta did
something with like Bryson Deshambeau and Dude Perfect where they
were playing.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Like frisbee recently. I think this goes back a couple
of years.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
That makes more sense.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, and they were like, that's not what we use
Augusta for, and that now they're just turning it into
like don't they let a bunch of people with Like
there's the.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Whole no phone policy at Augusta.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
We learned all about that within the last couple of years.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
But I think that now they're letting like influencers out
there with their phones to like shoot videos and stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I don't tell Mark Calcavecia.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
The what did he do?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
He's an old golfer, right, Yeah, didn't he supposedly get
kicked out?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
We're using his phone? Yeah, well, you can't have it
both ways.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
According to Golf Week, he was escorted from Augusta National
Bisecurity in a phone related incident. He's not an influencer though,
He's just the age. He doesn't have enough Open Champion,
doesn't have enough followers. He class played in two thousand
and eight. I played in eighteen Masters.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
So Elie, do you you feel like they're making sort
of a mockery of it, Like a lot of Olympic
purists don't like the Snoop Dogg thing because it's not serious.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Isn't Kevin hard a part of that? The yes, the
let me check, maybe it's Chris rock Elley here, the
it's not the no no.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
But I wonder is that is that like people get
mad at me for being a baseball purist? Are I'm
assuming they're a golf purist. That'll be like Augusta is
Augusta this sacred ground. I don't need Jason Kelsey sitting
up on a hill eating sandwiches and drinking beer. That's
(07:09):
the waste management. But yesterday is, which looks like it's
a thousand times more fun. Yesterday isn't the tournament right.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Today? Is Jason Kelsey a part of the coverage?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Oh? That? I thought he was?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Oh so he's going to be around for.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I thought he was.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I thought Jason Kelsey was isn't CBS. I thought Jason
Kelsey was doing commentary for I could be wrong. Maybe
it was just yesterday. I thought it was for the
whole thing.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I don't know. Now is your pick going to be
part of this new wave young group of golfers or
is it going to be somebody who would agree.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
That is, see what you're doing, I'll get there, Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Augusta National Golf Club doesn't make mistakes and if they do,
they are quick to address them.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
That's what they said this year. Jason Kelsey, here.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
You go, serving for a commentator of the Part three
contest and making a spectacle of himself during practice rounds
this week when patrons can bring cameras onto the course.
Influencers from the clubhouse to Amen corner posed before the
iconic pines, fairways and flags at Augusta National and they
were told you could use phones, but people were doing videos.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
But that's just prior So maybe that ends as of
seven forty this morning.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, but still wouldn't you not want it at your club?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Yeah? So this is people protecting or trying to protect
Augusta National.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Oh also they said that, and I don't know this part.
I don't know what the deal is with merch, Like,
if you go you obviously can get merch.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Right.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I understand that we talked about the Gnomes.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Says the Masters is edging into the treacherous world of fashion,
tiptoeing closer to the dreaded all caps and upside down
logos and not sticking to very traditional merch which again
I don't care about that. I will never wear anything
that says the Master is on it unless my guy
wins this weekend. But I don't know, Like, I don't
(09:15):
know that that bothers me. But would a purist say,
go do that elsewhere? We don't do it at Augusta.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Just do the little yellow logo with the flash.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Very iconic, Oh, absolutely, very iconic.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Last year you picked for the Masters, I believe Russell Henley.
You don't remember that name?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
No, I actually I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
That would be hysterical if you're like, after all this research,
I have picked Russell Henley.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Can I go to line one?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Elliot in the morning? How did he do last year?
Speaker 4 (09:57):
He is taking part this year?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah, of course he is, so, I mean, former champions
are always invited back. I'm sorry, yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Who is this?
Speaker 7 (10:06):
This is Rich?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Rich?
Speaker 8 (10:07):
How are you good yourself?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I'm doing great? Thank you? Are you a big Masters guy?
Speaker 8 (10:13):
Big Masters guy?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Right?
Speaker 8 (10:15):
I'm on my way home and I'm pretty much gonna
be set up washing it for the whole for four days.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Right except for Sunday afternoon during the Capital's Penguins game,
which could be ovi's last home game. The has has
Augusta or the Masters jumped the shark.
Speaker 8 (10:35):
In what terms?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Like has it become too much of a show and
not and not the what? What is?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
What's the right word this circus?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
I mean, yeahs it is it becoming too much of
a circus and not a purest golf course.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (10:53):
I mean when you look at it from a spectators viewpoint,
you think it's it's not because like when you go
to the course. I've had a couple of friends get
selected for tickets there. You know, you go there, you're
not allowed to bring your phone. You have to respect
(11:13):
the grounds and pretty much live in the moment, I
think outside like people that do like these big Watch parties,
is where it kind of gets to be a little
bit of the circus.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
What do you mean by so, like like if I
were having a big Watch party at my house, it
gets to be a big circus.
Speaker 8 (11:31):
Yeah, Like people like you hear people that they do
Master Watch parties and oh.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You know what, I don't I don't have a problem
with that. Like if like, if I'm here, I'm not
in Augusta, Like I have no chance to get in.
So if I were going to have a couple of
buddies over or fifty buddies over, I was gonna set
up a screen on the side of my house that
like that doesn't bother me, right.
Speaker 8 (11:55):
Yeah, But I think I don't think the actual Augusta
is a circus. I think like the stuff that they
do beforehand, the par three contest, the chip and putt
with the kids and stuff like that, it's great for
the game, it's great for community relations and stuff like that.
And then they put they do put some fun into it,
(12:17):
Like yesterday Jason Kelsey was a caddy for uh ask
Case Papia, Kevin Harr was caddy and for Bryson, and
they put some fun into it.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
That's what people are complaining about, though, is they don't
want them there.
Speaker 8 (12:33):
Yeah, And I can see both sides of it. You know,
you're you're putting a lot of spotlight onto celebrities that
you know, you never really saw play the game of
golf before, right or anything like that. But then it
also shows people that hey, Kevin Hart plays golf. Now
(12:54):
maybe I'll get into it and start playing.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
You know what, I like that spin. I like that spin.
That's good. Good for you, all right, dude, I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Yes, Tyler, I think Hugh hit the nail on the
head for you, elliot, because you did identify yourself as
a baseball.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
When it comes to baseball. This would bother me.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So Hugh, and I'm paraphrasing, Hugh says, are they moving
the masters from Augusta to Savannah?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Oh the bananas?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yes, yes, Oh, by the way, that's perfect, that's perfect.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Yeah, are these the Augusta bananas? Now?
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Of course they play banana ball, not golf, right, and
the rules are different.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yes, But I understand what he's saying, Like now, it's
just becoming a circus.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
But when the starters, like every player and Jack Nicholas, oh.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
They'll probably have to do a choreograph line dance when
they have to go out.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
I'm saying, when they walked out on the first tea
this morning, is that when everyone gets serious.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Maybe today, But fast forward, we're on a downhill run.
You're three years away from them doing somersaults.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Your pick last year did not make the cut.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
God damn it.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Finished three over. I believe I read Hi.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Elliot the morning. Hi.
Speaker 9 (14:13):
Yeah, I'm from Augusta originally I live in Edgewater now
or church in kind of you know, southern Maryland.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
But either way, if the Masters left Augusta, I'm pretty
sure it would destroy the entire Augusta economy.
Speaker 8 (14:28):
I believe the CSL.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Would ever recover because I've lived in.
Speaker 9 (14:32):
Savannah for about five years after I lived in Augusta
when I was in the army there, and I cannot.
I don't think there's room to hold the Masters in Savannah.
And like I said that, the entire Augusta economy is
built around those two weeks.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Like there's an IRS clause that they had to add
for people who rent their houses for those two weeks
because they'll get like their whole year's worth of mortgage goes.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Oh I'm sure, I'm sure. And uh so yeah, have
you ever been? Have you ever been?
Speaker 7 (15:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Your dad is right?
Speaker 1 (17:43):
And I was going to say, so, what a special
moment to be able to take your father, right, that's
pretty cool. And was it was it as special and
great as he wanted it to be.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
It was, yeah, ye see in all a men corner
and all the special places. Yeah that was great.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yeah, no, no, And but that's what I mean, that's
where it is. It is such a bucket list for people.
It is such a mecca for people that they're like,
I don't know that I need Jason Kelcey sitting there
eating sandwiches and drinking beer. And again I'm not down
on Jason Kelsey. I don't care, but do the purest
hate it. And that's what I was reading yesterday, that
(18:23):
we're on a slippery slope towards towards the Savannah bananas.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
If I could steal from huge in veiny.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
No, I think it's the early days. Is just the
fun stuff, and then when the tournament starts, people take
it and.

very good, very good, Thank you. I go ahead, are
you going here?
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I was gonna.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I can tell you I I focused in on three
people yesterday.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
I will be very honest. Two of them I had
never heard of.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Hold on the drone is doing that shotdown Magnolia Lane,
thinking I wait to the clubhouse.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
One of them, one of them, I've heard of. Two
of them I had never heard of before. Okay, the
one that I had heard of, I'm not taking, but
I would understand why he would win.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Who was Bryson Deshamba? No, let me please please.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
He's done very very well over the last couple of
years and has had heartbreak and is kind of like,
you got to lose to win.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
How many times have we heard that you have to
lose to win?
Speaker 3 (19:31):
He's got like the third best odds.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I didn't say I took him.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
I know, but this is a weird pick. I just
told you right, or told everyone how. You don't do this.
You don't pick the faves, don't even list them.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Oh, I didn't even know that he was a favorite
to win. I honestly I had no idea. I will
tell you this, he's not winning. He will continue to
learn to lose before he can win. The second person,
who I read a lot of good press about, I'm
not going to be able to say his name properly.
(20:09):
He's twenty four years old. People believe that may be
a little too much pressure on the kid. He played
in the He played for the He repped the US
and the Junior Ryder Cup in the Junior President's Cup.
His parents are from India, but he's from California.

advantage being left handed or right handed at the Masters,
