In our Masters tier list episode, we’re doing something a little different; instead of an Augusta National course review or Masters picks, we’re ranking the entire Masters Tournament experience. From the icon pimento cheese sandwiches to Amen Corner, we’re breaking down 20 of the most recognizable Masters traditions, rules, food items, and broadcast quirks and putting them into S through D tiers.

Here’s how we’re defining the tiers:

- S Tier: Sacred. Non-negotiable. Augusta wouldn't be Augusta without it.

- A Tier: Elite traditions that define the Masters experience.

- B Tier: Great. Adds real flavor but isn't load-bearing.

- C Tier: Fine. Present, appreciated, but not essential.

- D Tier: We see you. We're just not impressed.

The Masters is the most unique event in golf, known for its traditions, exclusivity, and unmistakable atmosphere. In this episode, we rank everything based on a mix of excitement, respect, and pure entertainment value, even though we haven’t walked down Magnolia Lane ourselves (yet).

Expect strong opinions, a few controversial takes, and plenty of discussion around why we feel certain items belong in their respective tiers when ranked amongst each other.

Whether you’re watching for the contenders, the course, or the traditions, this is a fun, opinionated breakdown of everything that makes The Masters unlike anything else in golf.

And today we're doing something a little different. Instead of breaking down a course or making picks, we're ranking the Masters itself. S through D Tier 20 items, everything from the pimento cheese sandwich to Amen Corner. 0:46 Traditions, rules, broadcasts, quirks, food, all that's on the board ready to be ranked. TJ, you know as well as I do, though, that our listeners have strong opinions on the Masters. Are you nervous at all like I am for how they'll judge our list? Well, it's the Internet, so people are going to judge hard regardless. 1:02 And we're also going to probably have some strong opinions here that you and I will probably disagree on. So I think there's going to be a handful of people who are going to think that you're right, and there's going to be a handful of people that think that I'm right. And then there's definitely going to be a bunch of people who think that we're both wrong and we're both idiots. And that we're leaving something off the list, Probably I. 1:19 I just. So thoroughly. Yes, we in an effort to keep this podcast to a reasonable time measure. We definitely know that we kept a lot off of here. I mean, notable mentions, Peach Ice Cream Sandwich, the Azalea cocktail. 1:35 What else did we cut? The the skipping contest, you know where they hit the ball across the. Water skipping contest. I think we also took low am getting to play off the list. So yeah, we're aware that this is not all-encompassing of everything that goes into like the Masters or Augusta National. 1:55 We get it. But we did. But it's 20 things. How many other tournaments can say there's 20 things associated with it that come to mind? If I had to do Waste Management, I think you'd get to like 10, and that's probably the only other tournament that has as many things associated with it. 2:11 Yeah, this is one of my favorite times of the year. It always falls around my birthday and March Vadnais, and it's just one of the best weeks or two weeks of the year for me, so I'm already stoked. Before we get into it, though, let's hear more about our sponsor for today's episode, Devro Golf.

Before we dive in, maybe we should just quickly tell everyone how we're ranking these 20 items associated with the Masters. It's, you know, our excitement, our respect for the traditions. Maybe it's the sheer entertainment value. 3:24 Neither of us have been lucky enough to attend. I would love to if anyone has a hookup, but from where we sit, this is how we feel about these items. And so we're going to go SABC and D tier, like very common pattern people have seen, but we've defined the tiers here. So we're going to say that S tier is something that's like sacred, non negotiable. 3:43 Augusta wouldn't be Augusta without it. A tier elite, It's a tradition that maybe defines the Masters experience. B tier, it's still great. It adds a lot of flavor to the thing, but it's not doing all the heavy lifting. C tier, it's fine. 3:59 We we see it, it's appreciated, but maybe not essential. And then D tier is just like, you know, yeah, it exists and we're just not impressed. Think that's fair? Yeah. I think the biggest thing that we are trying to tell everyone at home is that we are essentially rating these things against each other in importance. 4:20 You and I had a lengthy discussion about trying to rate a pimento cheese sandwich, and we are not rating the cheese sandwich itself at Augusta National. We are rating the cheese sandwich in its importance amongst everything in the Masters. 4:36 Yep. Exactly, that is that is what I want everyone to get at home. Like you said, we are not people who are going to the Masters. We do have two former guests going to the Masters this year though. Really. Yeah. 4:51 So we are we are a dotted line to Masters attendees this year. I believe Shane O Golfs is going. Shane I feel like wins tickets every year. I mean he is a Georgia native so I think on years where he doesn't win tickets he somehow stumbles his way into some. 5:11 And then very recurring guest, our good friend Josh McQueen AKA Rev Mac is also making the trek this year. He gets to go to Monday's practice round. That's awesome, Yeah. Didn't Nick Bad Boys go last year too? 5:28 No, so Nick was in Augusta and they were doing, I believe like an activation for Callaway and he thought that it was going to be like any other sporting event where like, Oh yeah, you're just outside and you can there's people selling tickets for day of because they got extra or whatever. 5:46 The Masters is not like that. Like there are apparently people who like scalp Masters tickets, but we're talking like thousands of dollars to get into the masters off of a ticket just outside of the door. Yeah, just sends a chill right up your spine. 6:03 Yeah. All right. Before we get into this also, let me just remind everyone, if you're watching on YouTube, we actually have the tier site up and we're going to be dragging images over, which is probably a good time for me to remind you. If you haven't already subscribed over on YouTube, please do so. 6:19 It's going to help us out and you get to watch more of this kind of stuff and not buy content over there as well. I'll also say we'll put the link to this tier list in your description. If you think ours is cheeks and you think you can do one better, by all means go to the link in the description, make your own, DM it to us, post it on Instagram, tag us, let us know where we missed. 6:42 Put your put your money where your mouth. Is let's start, let's start this off heavy hitter here. OK, We're going to start with Amen Corner, a unique piece of this tournament and this course. 6:57 Do you want to start with a a nomination here? I'm going to man, I'm waffling between 2:00 and I think we got to start at least conservative here. I think Amen Corner belongs in A tier. I was going to say A tier myself. 7:16 Well, I mean slider in there. First off, we can talk about why it's it's not an S We'll get, we'll get to what I think some of the s s are. And I think once you lay out what some of the s s are, it becomes really apparent why Amen Corner is an A. Yeah, and we can move this around again if we have to. 7:35 Yeah, we these are not set in stone. I'm sure there will be some some fluidity amongst tears as we go through this, but I think it's importance to the actual golf tournament cannot be understated, right? The amount of times we've watched people squander leads coming through Amen Corner on a Master Sunday with tucked pins is numerous. 8:00 Yes, yeah. And honestly, that would be where I'd want to post up if I was ever going to attend. But everybody else wants to post up there too. I've heard that the sneaky good place to go is like behind 16, so you see like the par 3 and then the 17th like T off. 8:19 But I mean, if you're going and you don't get to go to Amen Corner, you kind of feel like, yeah, I got to see the tournament, but did I really get to see it? That's just like that's just must watch TV. That's why it's an A. It it's like how you feel it, it's like going to waste management and not trying to figure out a way to get on 16 right? 8:38 Yeah, yeah. It's like a humongous reason of it's the most important hole or holes of golf at the tournament. Yeah, So yeah, yeah. And I always just think to all the like critical moments of leads being blown on 12 or just like like comes to mind as like Ludwig putting it in the water before the green in his lead on like I think it was 11 and then 12 when Cam put it in Ray's Creek to fall to Scotty. 9:07 Like just these moments, man, that just like they're so memorable. OK, let's move on. This next one here I believe is azaleas, just the flower like the plant azaleas. Yeah, why don't you lead off here? 9:23 I want to hear where you're you're going to put azaleas. OK. In this, I'm kind of bucketing a couple things associated with azaleas, right? You got the cocktail named after the Azalea. You got the pan shots of the azaleas with the birds chirping and those like moments that they're not going to commercial. 9:41 And honest, honestly, you work for a company that I'm pretty sure has put azaleas on some clothing. Every brand has azaleas essentially on something come Masters week. It's just the iconic piece of Augusta. Brands are quickly running out of iconography associated with the masters. 10:01 There's the colors and there's the azaleas and the pimento cheese sandwiches. That's about it. Anyway, I'll start. I'm going to say azaleas are let's go C tier here. Fine present. Appreciate not essential. That's my vote. Yeah, I don't think that they don't matter, but I, I don't think that they're as important as some of the other stuff on here. 10:26 So I yeah, they're not AD, but I, yeah, I don't see them in a in AB at all. So I think, I think, I think we're OK with CT, yeah. Cool. Pretty easy start here. OK, this one, I have some strong feelings on this, so I want you go first. 10:43 The Butler cabin. I'm not even going to say ceremony, let's just say Butler Cabin. Yeah, man, the, the I think the tough part about Butler Cabin and why people may or may not have some strong feelings about it is it is the very last thing associated with the Masters for that year. 11:08 In your brain. You have been realistically watching golf for five days straight, if not more, by that point. Practice rounds Part 3 Contest. Part 3 contest, You definitely watched all four days. You watch the jacket ceremony and then they come in and, yeah, somebody else putting the officially transferring the jacket over. 11:34 You know you get the funny meme from Neil Shipley a few years back of the eyes. Dude Butler Cabin put some great moments. There's so many memes that come out of Hideki not knowing a single word anyone was saying. Yes, like there's some great moments, but it just, I don't think it stands up as much as everything else does or is as memorable. 11:59 I think it still matters though. Like I I don't think I can put it in D tier. I think it I think it's a firm C. It's a strong. CI was going to say C, I'm with you on C here just because I I think it does matter in terms of like the jacket gets passed from the previous champion on there and it's not happening on the green. 12:18 It's, I mean, there is the like putting it over their shoulders again at the very end that you always see. But this whole thing with like Nance and whatever, I don't know, it's just like, yeah, I'm going to stick around. I'm going to watch it. Yeah, you're going to watch it, but it's like, take it or leave it. It's not. 12:33 You're not. No one is chomping at the bit to get to the Butler cabin. Sarah No, no. OK, another C, So we got so far, we got an A and two CS here. OK. This next one here I believe is the famously cheap masters concession prices. 12:49 If you don't mind, let me go first on this. There are a few things in this day and age with inflation going rampant and oil being $200. You're about to steal my social post for next week. No, sorry. Well, you can add this in. No, you're fine. 13:04 That stay, that stay affordable. You know, you got the Costco hot dog, you got Arizona iced tea, you got the guys that are like, I'm not fucking leaving. Like this is this is my thing. This is what I'm putting my foot down now. I have seen that the prices have slightly changed at the Masters, but they're still like 350 or like 2 bucks for this and just insane prices. 13:25 I think we saw the only thing that I think was like modest was a beer. A beer was like 5 bucks maybe or something. Five, $5 for beer at a sporting event is, yeah, a steal. And I think. It's steal and it was like 18 bucks for an import or something like that. 13:42 Yeah, it's. So anyways, concession prices. You want to have a good time and you want to save some money, sign me the fuck up. I'm putting this in the A tier personally. Yeah, OK. I was waffling between A and BI. 14:02 Think the tough part that I'm struggling to wrap my head around is that this only impacts the in person attendee. True. So I, it's, I love the idea that you get to try everything, even if you went for, you know, most time everybody's winning a masters ticket for a single day. 14:28 So you don't have to pick and choose. Do I, do I have to try the, the $15 egg salad sandwich or do I have to try the $16.00 pimento cheese sandwich? And that's my, that's my lunch for the day. So you get to, you get to, if you want to buy a sandwich for 2:50 and take one bite of it and be like, not for me. 14:48 You don't feel like you wasted 250. So I love this. It's just I'm, I struggle to say, is it that important or are the individual items themselves more important to the tournament than just the pricing of them? 15:11 All right. Well, I'm, I think you made a good point about the fact that like we're not experiencing those prices and that probably just convinced me that maybe it's B and I'm also thinking about other things on this list and then I'm maybe I'm now convinced. I don't know. That's let let's put it in B and then as maybe some things let's yeah, let's let's put an earmark in it. 15:32 If we start to put us some other things in B, then we can potentially move it around or we'll figure it out. OK. OK, so we're in B. All right, then Next up we have the Champions Dinner, which we've done some lengthy discussion on when we dropped a pod with Chris Jones where we each picked our own Champions Dinner. 15:54 That would be a great one for you guys to go back and listen to one of my favorite episodes. Yeah, last year's pod was a great time. I had AI had a phenomenal time chatting menus with Jonesy and his his fusion menu. Yeah, Fusion. That had no rhyme or reason and he was floored when ours had themes. 16:17 I think that the Champions Dinner is asked here. Oh, really? You're Oh hold on, I was waffling between A and SI think it's I'm waffling between. 16:35 Between B&C. Whoa, we are OK folks. We are at a fork in Rd. here. Our first impasse. So OK, let me let me hear why. I mean, when I think of things that are so synonymously masters, like this is one of the things that helps fully kick off the week. 17:03 But it is the IT is usually the first piece of media that comes out that is associated with the masters that that that kind of kicks off Masters season is Rory's menu came out and everyone's talking about, Oh, he went bacon wrapped dates and didn't go pork belly or, you know, like everyone is. 17:28 It's falling under heavy scrutiny. This could be me just because I live too much on the Internet and we're looking for hot takes. No, it's everywhere. It is everywhere. We're chomping at the bit to talk about masters like, and it feels like as soon as the Champions did a menu for this year drops. 17:43 It's like it's masters season. So it. Feels. Very important to it all and I think it's you always see the photo, everyone's always judging a little bit. 17:59 There was all the drama in years past of when the live guys came back and everyone was pissed off at Phil for how he acted at the first Champions dinner. Once he was on live, he's all the the photo of all the guys in their green jackets. 18:15 The photo's great. I love zooming in on that photo and seeing all the guys. But the reason for mine is because you know, the same point you made about concessions prices being something that only people who attend get to enjoy. The only people who get to enjoy this champions dinner are the Champions. 18:34 There's there's no one. You're just closed door. So like, yeah, you're right. I get excited by seeing a menu, but it almost makes me feel shame, like I'm getting excited to see how much money a rich guy made in stocks. Like I'm like cool, Oh, that's sick. 18:51 He made how much good for him. Now he's a billionaire. It's like I you know, I don't get any benefit from that other than like reading about it. True. So if they like filmed this, like, you know, there was the Netflix show that like went in the dinner when JT was like giving like a speech when he's honoring. 19:11 I was glued. So I was like, oh, finally I get to see inside or something. That's sick, but you don't get that any year. The only a Netflix special. OK. So let's talk about if we were to put it say in B, we rank it on the higher end. I come down, you come up and meet me a little bit. 19:29 Do you think it sits in the same place as the concessions and it's more important than azaleas or Butler Cabin? Oh definitely more important than both those. So I would be willing to go B. OK, then let's let's settle it at AB. 19:44 Then hold it at B for now. Hey, that was that was healthy. It's not me versus you, it's US versus the Champions dinner. US versus the World Part 3 contest. 20:02 I'll go first here. This similar to your point about getting excited for something. However, this thing I can throw on. I can full screen this on. Is it? I think it's on the Wednesday. And yeah, so I'll do my calls, I'll get my stuff done. 20:20 I'm working in between. I don't really need to keep a super big eye on it, but I can have the audio. You have the families going there, the kids taking putts, the wives and the girlfriends hitting shots over the water on some of those. You got the live earbud talking like Max was in the studio one time talking to all the guys and I like, I was so tuned in. 20:39 I was like, man, that looks so much fun, but also people get to experience it and I get to watch it. So for me I think the Par 3 contest is actually an AI think it's more exciting than the Champions dinner in my opinion. Yeah, I think it's an A as well. A is where I had it. 20:55 All I want to say is I can't wait. I I hope it's this year, but I don't know if he's there yet. I I really need to see Tommy Ladd's kid hit it over the water. You know, I I tried to be hottest. He's always there. He's he's. Always He had that iconic clip last year of just. 21:13 I'm just trying to be hottest and I I want to see it clear. It's so bad. Yeah, I think this is a fur May. Cool. Also like what was it Jack's kids that like got the hole in ones? Yeah, he let his he let his kid hit one and it was it was incredible. 21:30 Yeah, yeah. Might have been his grandson. I think it was a grandson, Definitely grandson, Yeah. OK. Next up we have the egg salad sandwich. I've heard from people, including Mike next door who's been to Augusta, that this is an incredible sandwich. 21:48 OK, so another guest associated with with being to the masters, he says it's a great sandwich. He liked, I mean, I'm not going to let it influence our pimento cheese, but he liked it better. So that's The thing is that when I'm thinking about this, I'm thinking about where do we put the egg salad feels lesser than the pimento. 22:12 I know that probably in taste they the egg salad is probably better than a pimento cheese sandwich. I feel like a pimento cheese sandwich is probably pretty jarring. But I feel like though has more name. Recognition in the importance of the tournament, which is what we are ranking. 22:28 I think the pimento's gonna get graded higher. I don't think an egg salad sandwich is that cement that like firmly planted as like part of the Masters. I'm willing to put this at AD really. OK, yes it like there is there is nothing would I ever think about the Masters? 22:49 Out of all of the thoughts in my brain, I don't think one of them is egg salad sandwich. That's fair. How many times a year do you eat a egg salad sandwich? Maybe one. 23:05 Maybe once. One time of year. Yeah. Yeah, I'd say mine's zero or one. So actually, you know, I'm gassing it up here. But if this is our list, I'm gonna I'll join you. Let's go to the bottom for egg salad. Give me your hot take. 23:23 I'm. Not going to order it even if I was there. That's like there's so many other things on that menu that I think I would also choose before it. But I understand that like, what are you? Are you the pimento? Are you the egg salad? But I think that's also because the pimento is jarring. Or the BBQ I think. 23:39 Barbecue the BBQ beef or like or it's like a pulled pork or something. Yeah, yeah. OK. All right. We got our first D there, egg salad. Next up, we have the green jacket slash green jacket, you know, ceremony. 23:58 You got Butler cabin separate. This is on the green. This is like, you know, they slide the arms through. And on the last pod, we were just talking about where we did the Champions dinner. We learned that the green jacket, they actually keep that size that you're in. So, you know, you can order a new one eventually. But the green jacket after the first year stays at Augusta, goes back. 24:17 Yeah, you want me to go first on this one? If you want to I I know I have a very strong feeling about this one. OK, I think First off, it's super recognizable. So if I think there's a picture of Hideki wearing it at the airport or he's like got it slung over a chair or something and everyone just lost it, thinking about like how casual he was with this like thing that is so coveted. 24:48 And that in itself reminds me that it is coveted. Like it is a it is worth more than a trophy that someone's going to put on their shelf. The green jacket. If you have like a cribs tour of some guy that's ever wanted a Gus. So you know, that thing is being taken care of probably more than the trophies. 25:05 So I personally think this is a tier is what I'm going to say. Possibly S I'm going to. I'm going to stick with a right now though. The green jacket is the most iconic thing associated with the Masters, bar none. 25:24 This is if there was a tier above S, it would be the green jacket and the green jacket alone. The con came with a clip it. Is it transcends golf? You know how when people don't know anything about professional wrestling, but you ask them to name a professional wrestler and they name Hulk Hogan because Hulk Hogan transcended professional wrestling. 25:50 The green jacket is that for golf. There are people who know nothing about golf. And if you said, hey, what's the what's that like? What is that piece of clothing that somebody gets if they win a golf tournament? So he's like, I don't know. The green jacket, there's obviously we, we can go into the Happy Gilmore clip here. 26:10 We can splice it in, you know. No, I want people to comment what happened when they asked their partner about that if they have a spouse or partner who doesn't watch golf. Yeah, I mean it, it is it also like they actively, Augusta National actively pursues anyone who is even tangentially related to golf who tries to make a green jacket? 26:38 And yeah, where you got your Plaid jacket, you know, at the Heritage you. Got at the Heritage. The red sweater from Arnie and they're all similar. Yeah, but I mean, like if a company tries to go out and tries to make a green blazer and you are even remotely tied to golf, Augusta National is coming for that ass. 27:01 So I think they also probably agree. Did I talk you into it? Yeah, you talked me into it. I'm dragging it to ass. I'm. Like I am I, I was like, I am unrelenting on this this I'm going to talk this man's gear off until he did an ass. I've known you long enough to know when I'm losing a fight. 27:20 This one wasn't much of a fight, though I I could be talked into it. Yeah, you were on the. Fence. Yeah. OK. The next one. No phones allowed at the Masters. You want to go first. I can go first. Yeah. So what's funny is that most golf tournaments used to be this way. 27:41 I can definitely remember early years of going to the Phoenix Open and having to like, sneak a phone in a shoe to like try and find your buddies who were in the tournament and being like, where are we going to meet up? But like, I remember that you used to, you were supposed to check your phone in outside. 27:59 And then all of a sudden one year it was like, oh, no, we don't care about phones. And then the Phoenix Open became just the loudest place on Earth, period. I think it's when like iPhones and smartphones took off and then airplane mode was a common thing or vibrate. Before that you had the old guys with the Motorola's going Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding. 28:16 You didn't want that and going in a back. No, no, you could tell that it was like, oh, the few guys who were bringing cell phones out here, they were getting rung in the middle of back swings. And it was, it was unfortunate. And now there's just a low hum at golf courses anyway. But obviously the master still does this. 28:34 And I think it is so cool because also it is a once in a lifetime experience for most people. And it immediately makes you embrace that you are just there to take in the golf tournament and that's all it's about. 28:51 You can bring cameras and what not to take photos, but like they don't want you looking at Instagram. They don't want you looking at Twitter, they don't want you texting any of your buddies. No nothing. It's just you. They. Also don't want the broad, they don't want the broadcast having a bunch of people going like this. 29:09 So that's, that's what's also super cool about it is that you see all the photos and all the videos and the broadcast and everyone is just sitting there with a, you know, a cup in their hand or sitting in a chair and they are just locked in on what is the most important golf tournament of the year. 29:31 Also, I mean, think about the fact that how many places in the world is a massive number of people out of the loop in terms of what's being said on Twitter or about something. 29:47 What are the how the odds have shifted about players and making live bets like that happens at most games now. You mentioned the distractions and social and all that kind of stuff too, but just like there's not that many bubbles out there anymore. 30:03 And so I think that's the coolest thing you can do is just be present. And this reminds me of the cheap prices where it's like few things in this world. I'm like, hell yeah, great for this person or great for this company for doing that. One thing, you know, you read about like companies paying out their employees when they get acquired, like shares of a company, You're like, man, that's how many companies do that kind of stuff anymore. 30:25 Like, good for that one. I'll follow them. Yeah. I knew of a company that was like, or not a company, but like a tournament or sporting event. Other than this was like, Yep, no phones allowed. Everyone just enjoy your thing. Like that to me feels like harkening back to a time and I love that feeling. And I even if I don't go, I just support it. 30:41 But yeah, I want to hear where you were going to rank it. The well, I was going to say the only other thing I know of that is like a strict no phone policy right now is usually like if you go see a stand up comedian and they are recording their new special, they make everybody put their phones. 30:58 They either take everyone's phones or they put them in those, whatever the signal blocking devices are. And you can't open them unless you come out of the theater. So you hold on to your phone the whole time. But As for rating this, I think this is a tier. 31:17 I don't think it's as important as the green jacket, but I do think it's extremely important. OK, so a tier. We said it was an elite tradition that defines the masters experience. Yeah, Yes, you think this does? 31:35 Do you? Do you do? Where do you put it? Do you disagree? I. I disagree a little bit. I think it's more BI think it's great that's flavor. It's it's not load bearing now. It's not I. Understand. I think, I think, I think you're leaning towards B because it also necessarily doesn't impact us unless we attend. 31:53 But I also like I I love looking at broadcasts and seeing nobody on their phones. I know, but here's my thing. OK, we're reading a tier to someone and you're like, you're a little buzz, right? And you're like, oh, the masters. And you're like, yeah. And you're like Amen corner and they're like oh, so good. 32:09 And you're like par 3 contests are like you're like no, phones don't think they go oh. I don't know man, like you don't think we're just yearning to harken back to a much simpler time where we weren't attached to our phones? I am. 32:24 I just I just said I was, but like, I don't think this fuck, maybe it does define the masters. You know what this episode's going to be. This episode's going to be a master class of how I maybe swindle and I just easily go, whatever, let's just move on. 32:41 Well, I mean, like, but I mean, like, think about it. It's not just the phones, it's also like, it's the phone banks. It's the like, do you want to call? Yeah, like I don't even think they're payphones. I think they're complimentary. They are complimentary, but the but the like you know it's the old. 32:57 School, yeah, it's just the full it's the full Bank of phones to call into my wife and be like, babe, this is the fucking sweetest thing I've. Ever. That's true. Besides our wedding day. And then you're looking at your buddy and you're like, winking like, like. I'm lying. I'm I'll put in an A but honestly I'm going to keep an eye on this because I might drag it down. 33:16 I also think that when we finish this list, we should do a quick Passover and say how do we feel about the summation of our list? OK, OK. Next up we have the honorary starters. This is like Jack or Gary or Tom just basically hitting off 1st and you got forget the guy's name that's always there that. 33:38 Fredley, Frank. Frank Ridley. Fred Ridley. Fred Ridley. Fred Ridley. Yeah, right. Yeah, announcing them and doing that whole thing. Let me go first on this one. This one for me is a nothing burger. Like, I don't care. 33:54 I mean, good for them. I love to see a quick like, are they still able to rotate their body? Like can they put it out there? And when they get really old, you're kind of like, you know, that's awesome. But then like the second year you see it or something the third year and it's the same thing and it's the same thing. 34:10 And then you're like, all right, I don't know. Not doesn't do a lot for me to be honest. OK, where, where, where do you have it? DDD tier, I just don't care. You know what's not, You know what's interesting, I'm kind of the same way. 34:27 We might just not be in the right age range to necessarily care about the honorary starters. I will say that in the unfortunate instance of when one of these guys passes the next year, that that happens and one of them is not. 34:48 There emotional. And it gets and it gets moved up to, like, C, It feels a little more important. Yeah, you're right. But like, right now, every year, Gary Player, Tom Watson, Jack Nicklaus, I'm like, OK, like, let's do it. 35:03 But like, I'm ready to watch golf today. Yeah, yeah, I care more about watching like Fred Couples or you. Know the the Champions coming back. Yeah, and and actually making the cut. So like I like. So then let's let's skip what is next in line here and let's jump to the one after that. 35:24 That is, yeah, the former champions having a permanent lifetime invitation. Yeah, the lifetime invitation to the tournament, I think that's cool. I think it's something that you can tell matters to these pros that yes, you want to win a major, right? 35:40 But if you ask them which major they they really want to win, it's the Masters. And it's not just the prestige and like what comes with it, it's also the fact that like you're guaranteed to be here for a chance to win every single year. And you're at that champions dinner every single year and you have all the other benefits that come with this. 35:58 And it's not like a five year exemption or anything like that. Like you're, you're in the books and then on top of that, you get to watch like VJ and these other guys go out there and like just keep going. And I'm like, oh, sick. Like they had this guy made the cut. Like I love putting a bet on one of those guys to make the cut. 36:16 I have one question, one statement. I'm going to RIP off the statement. First, I would assume that the Masters is the one tournament that if anyone who is a that that when guys miss cuts, they are not on the plane home Friday night, they are staying. 36:34 Most of these guys are staying through the weekend to just. Probably just watching the coverage or hanging out. Yeah, but I don't think anyone's in a rush to leave Augusta, potentially. No. Where are they going to go? Or I mean, so especially if you're one of these past champions who's a little past their prime, you got one week every year blocked out on the calendar and that's your, that's your master's week. 36:59 The question for you, and you might not know the answer to this, if you win the Masters, are you, we might have even covered this last year and you're going to be like, come on, man. Are you automatically declared a member of Augusta National when you win the Masters? 37:16 No, I don't think so. No, damn. That's they are. They are one like the like most exclusive Country Club or golf membership obviously. And there's like a lot of people who have a lot of money that won in and still haven't got in. 37:32 And if you're a champion, it's not like you can just like you're a member, you can go whenever you want, but you are allowed to go at random times with approval to go play. So like they'll they'll be like, all right, yeah, you can go ahead and go play or whatever, but you're not getting the benefits of everything else that comes with membership. 37:51 Yeah, now we should Fact Check that. Just so I'm not talking about my ass. You're going to do this. We're going to do it right here. Yeah, our Masters champions made members of Augusta National. 38:11 Masters champions are automatically made honorary members of Augusta National, but not but not full dues paying members. As honorary, they gain lifelong privileges to play the course whenever it's open, often with guests. But this is distinct from the exclusive invitation only membership. 38:28 So yeah, I was pretty much right. Yeah, yeah, they. Don't They can play the They can play the course, but they need to be accompanied by a full member to bring guests. So you are right. Yeah, OK, OK. I, I feel like that somewhat drags it down a little bit in my book. 38:53 I'm somewhere between AB or AC and I feel like you're at AB. I am B, yeah. I mean, I see where this fits with a pass champions dinner. 39:15 Yeah. It's just I have a tough time saying that this is more all right, let's do B. My man OK. I don't do it every time, everyone. 39:30 I don't do it every time. Next up, we have Jim Nance's special words. You know, patrons. Hello, friends, The second cut, Tji. Don't know if you know this one. We didn't cover this last pod. They don't say the back nine. 39:46 Do you know what they say? No, they say the second nine. The 2nd 9 correct? Yeah. No, I think we did cover that. OK, I didn't, I didn't think I'd cover that specific one but either. Way, Jim, I feel like I've, yeah, I've talked about it with somebody over the last year. OK, Jim Nance for me is a special voice on air that you associate with a number of events. 40:12 When golf comes around. It just fits his voice so well and it's just makes more sense. Then comes Masters and it's like we'll talk about the music in a second, but like he follows the music, the intro song and every time it hits and you're like, this is so sick. 40:30 I just love it. I've imitated this before plenty of times. Like, you know, he's got he's got a cushioning now. Does it define the masters like a tier like Hello friends? Hello Friends is pretty iconic. 40:45 It's up there. It's not it's not S in my opinion. It's between A&B is what I would say. I had this firmly planted as an AI think hello friends is synonymous. 41:03 Patrons is one billion percent synonymous with the masters like. True. Like everyone who does the collections does patrons only or the patrons collection. Hell, I think my hat says patrons only on it on the side. 41:20 Yeah. So it's just it's it is not, it is not S tier because at some point the masters existed without the green jacket or the masters existed without Hello Friends. 41:36 And at some point the Masters will exist without Hello Friends, whereas the green jacket will always be a part of the Masters. Yeah, yeah, that's fair. OK. That's fair. Well said. OK, Next up. This kind of goes with the no phones thing, which is the physical leaderboard. 41:54 The leaderboard that because no one has a phone and no one's checking what just happened on the whole. And you hear a roar in the crowd, everyone attending there. They literally turn and they have to watch a guy get up there and go swap the numbers, which is something you don't see anywhere again. 42:11 And real quick. Yeah, go ahead. Well, real quick. I was just gonna say just this little icon here of the Masters leaderboard is so recognizable as the Masters. The shape of it, the white and everything else, it's just like, yeah, I know what that is without even like, you flash that and I would know. 42:33 Just like green jacket, in my opinion. Yeah. Now is it elite that defines the masters as a or is it sacred like non negotiable aguso would be aguso without it to hear me out here. I honestly think this is like between S and AIII. 42:53 Have a hard time putting an S 'cause I know it's coming next and what's coming next in my opinions. S. So I'm I'm like, is it the same as that? And I don't know. I'll be, I'll be willing to go either way, but don't you dare say B or lower because I'm I'll fight this one. I had this on the edge of B and AI wanted to lead with B there because I wanted to have you be you wanted. 43:15 To strike, you want me to squat? I think yes, it it is the IT is iconic as iconic gets for No, sorry, that's a fucking ridiculous hyperbole. Hyperbole absolute of saying it's iconic as iconic gets the very quickly. 43:35 In a span of probably however many years, the Masters went from being one of the only tournaments that had an actual physical leaderboard and guys actually knew where they were when they were playing. And apparently some golfers used to hate it because it was the only tournament on the tour that was like that, where they could see how they were playing amongst their competitors. 43:57 Now it's the only place that doesn't have a digital leaderboard on the tour. Yeah, and not a giant face right next to. It on how many greens and Reg they've hit that day and what's their what's their putting percentage and yeah, it's how the how'd they do the last three days on this hole all that so. 44:19 It's, it's, it's like the, it's like Fenway or something where you see an old ballpark that still puts up the numbers, you know? Yeah. My thing that potentially leads me to B is that it doesn't impact you or I sitting at home. But yeah, but then they take the shot to it and then they show the crowds reaction. 44:39 I love watching the crowds reaction to it. It the no phones thing. If you're going to say because you like seeing people enjoying the moment, how's that not the same? Because they can't check their phone to see what the score is. Yeah, and then they react to the score and then they go this just a moment ago and then they they see they can zoom in on the guy doing it and everyone goes, oh, 'cause they learn that like Bryson missed the missed the hole or Rory did something on 15 and then they roar and it's so cool. 45:11 I'm going AII think this has got to be a. If you think no phones is a, this leaderboard's got to be a. All right, put it a yes. Let's. Go also the if you were gonna build a masters in your backyard, like that house here in Arizona, the Airbnb. 45:32 Yeah. What, like are you looking down for a little Amen corner or something like that? Maybe you're gonna and then you're like. You're gonna build a little Amen corner. You're probably gonna. Put and then you fall Masters leaderboard against the wall and you're like, yo, that's the photo on the Airbnb listing that runs like that's sick. 45:48 Yeah, but are you not gonna also put a concessions board? Wait, what if you're down? Just just put thing in AI think your think your metaphor, what I think you're go ahead, run to the next. 46:08 OK. We're moving on Magnolia Lane now. We don't get to drive down it, but we get the camera shot down it every year. What do you think? Man, I'm trying to think of. Is Augusta National Augusta without Magnolia Lane? 46:28 Let me ask you a question. No, but is it the masters? The, the, the hard part for me is that I, I think it's, I think it's an A, but I don't think it goes higher than an A. 46:49 You don't think you don't think Green Jacket and Magnolia Lane are the same level of recognition? No, no. I think that you could show a lot of people that drive in and they would have no idea. Or so I. 47:07 Mean, I we even just talked about it on the pod last week with with salty golfer Wes and he talked about how much Caledonia's drive in feels like Augusta. Yeah. And I'm like, so is this that is this that unique of an experience or is or is it? 47:27 Reminds him of that of that. Right, but I just I don't it it again. We are rating these things comparatively to each other and I it doesn't touch the green jacket in my brain. OK. I mean, think about this. 47:46 Let's let's look forward potentially a little bit. Without spoiling, this Masters theme is probably also an S. The theme song. Yes, the music. 48:02 What about the? We'll get there. OK, let's put in a for now and then we'll. Come back. I mean, what do you, I mean you. I don't feel like I necessarily gave you a chance to defend why you think it should be in an S. Because we said is Augusta, Augusta wouldn't be Augusta without it. 48:21 Is Ester. It's sacred, it's non negotiable. Magnolia Lane is legitimately by definition like a sacred piece that you attend it, you don't get to go down it. You you only see this once a year. It's so exclusive. 48:37 And then you hear stories of the Champions rolling down Magnolia Lane with their cars. I've seen like a in camera or like when Pheno, I think it was had the camera for Netflix or something like that. Yeah, again, locked in. How cool is that? And then I do think it's recognizable for a lot of people. 48:55 Now, would a non golf fan know this? Maybe not, maybe not as much as green jacket. I just don't think the green jacket says like, I think like a non golf fan, like someone also might not know the green jacket. So I don't know if that's a fair comparison, but when I'm thinking like, you know, Hall of Fame for Augusta, Magnolia Lanes in the Hall of Fame, in my opinion, yeah. 49:21 OK. Next up we have the actual white jumpsuits that the caddies wear at the Masters. Lead the way on this, Sean. I want to see where you have this at. OK. Is it? I don't know the honest answer for this, but is there like some history here that's probably not great about the reason they're wearing these? 49:43 You know what? You know what? Pond I'm swimming in here. Yeah, I mean, it's called the Masters. Connect the dots, people. Yeah, it's like it's to steal a phrase you used earlier in the podcast. 50:01 It's not a nothing burger. Yeah, you see girls like wearing this at like, you know, like in Vegas, like a Bachelorette or something like that. It's. Recognizable. I saw people put their babies in them. I had I played a golf tournament the other day and somebody brought their baby out to ride along in a cart behind and the baby had a little white Masters jumpsuit. 50:22 Yeah. Yeah. So like it's, it's definitely, I think The thing is that it's also very golf and it's not, I don't think people necessarily definitely associated with the Masters. Maybe not, but for me I think this is C tier. 50:41 Like it's it's appreciated, it's not essential. Yeah, I agree with that. It's, it's like I said, it's not a nothing burger, but it's not, it's not that important. OK, Masters app got to be one of the best watching experiences of a professional sporting event. 51:01 They have all year to work on this app and every year somehow they make it better. It's gotten shots for every single person at every single stage of the course. You can go watch 12345 however much you know. You type in a guy or click on a guy and then you get to go see what he did on a certain hole for replay. 51:20 Where else can you do that kind of stuff? Yeah. And then just, it's free. There's no downloads or anything. Like you download and then it's done. I mean, it is incredible. In a in a world where we somehow buck the trend of having cable and paying for additional channels and are now just getting gouged yeah, on streaming services and apps. 51:42 This is such a this is like, this is like the no phones. This is like the traditional leaderboards. This is such a breath of fresh air to the chaotic world that we currently. Live in Well, that means it's automatically elites an A it's. 51:58 It's got to be an A. Like there's a God. There's a part of me that really wants to put it as an S. I would put Magnolia before the Masters app as an S. So as a concession on my part, I will then keep or the Masters app as an A as an A as to not let Magnolia Lane up. 52:17 OK. I have one piece that I've like. I keep fighting here on Magnolia Lane was because as of probably this time yesterday, Magnolia Lane wasn't even on the 20 things that you remembered to rate about the masters on. 52:34 Bro And when I did it with Mike, he kept saying I don't know what's coming next 'cause I had him do a blind rank and he kept saying, but I have the number one spot reserved for what I think you'll eventually say. And then eventually we got through and he goes, I'm like, what do you have left? 52:50 And he goes, I have the one spot left. He's like, just say it. And I was like, I don't think what I'm looking at here is what you're about to rank number one. And he's like, it's not Magnolia Lane. And I was like, oh shit, I've left this off the list. And he's right. It's so good there's. There's there's my example folks as to why it's not S. 53:10 Congratulations, I played myself. Yeah. Next up, we have Masters merch. So, you know, you've got the gnomes that are collectibles and have a secondary market out on eBay for insane prices. You got the hats, the shirts and everything else. 53:25 You hear about the stories of people who attend, and then they get asked how much did you drop on merch? And it's always an insane amount of money. People who do get to attend, buy stuff for their friends, like friends pay them ahead of time, are like, hey, buy me all these things you can. And then you see it. 53:42 Like, if you see one guy wearing it, it's a little like, hoity toity, a little like, oh, OK, Mr. Masters, the Augusta member. But like, it's sick at the same time. And am I jealous? Yeah, I'm jealous, usually. All right, quick break here. The Masters merch related but I want to get your take on this because I naturally have a take on it. 54:04 OK. Wearing masters merch if you haven't been to the masters. Yes or no? Is it stolen valor basically? Correct. Is it stolen valor to where? I have a stance on this plus some other stuff, but I want to hear yours first. 54:23 The same way if my dad got a chance to play Pebble Beach and came home with a Pebble hat. For me, I'm 100% throwing on my Pebble hat when I go out somewhere because I'm like, yeah, it's recognizable. It's a great course. I stand behind. 54:38 It doesn't mean I had. I can't wear it 'cause I never played there. Sorry, dad, take it back. Same with Augusta. Yeah, I'd wear it. OK, let's move on to raiding the merch. Dude, you, you, you want to hear something funny? 54:55 Jones and I got a chance to go to San Francisco and play a few courses and we had extra time and I was like, hey, let's go over to Stanford like the course because Tiger obviously went to Stanford and I heard good things about their, like pro shop and stuff. 55:11 So we go there, we walk in, they have a cool restaurant, by the way, awesome bar at Stanford that we got drinks at afterwards. And I took a video of like all the names and Tigers names on the board. But we go over to the pro shop and they have the Tiger hat, the straw hat and everything else. Yeah, Jones and I both bought Q zips or like, jackets with a Stanford logo on it. 55:31 It's one of my most comfortable jackets. And I wear golfing sometimes in cold weather. And I'll get someone asking if, you know, hey, did you go to Stanford? I'll go. Nah, but the pro shop was sick. I have no shame. Nah, I, I can't, I can't do it. I, I, I refuse to do either category. 55:49 I refuse to do the Masters for tournaments and I refuse to do the golf course that I've never played. OK, well, good for you and we're happy for you, but I'm over here cozy in my Augusta jacket. Oh yeah. Because, Oh yeah, because the stuff at, because the stuff that's at that pro shop, they don't fucking put anyone. 56:08 They don't put it in any other pro shops. Dude, I know it's all. It's just so marked up. It's got to be insane. It's. And it's all the same stuff everyone everyone selects from the same catalog every year and they just embroidery the different logos. Masters merch though. Let's get back to the task at hand. 56:26 So what was our official like? How were we defining BB? We said great, adds real flavor but isn't doing heavy lifting. Yeah. I, I, I think it's, I think it's AB. OK. I. 56:42 I'm with you. You're with me on that. I was going to say B before we even started this whole thing. Like, yeah. OK, OK, yeah, yeah, I just, I, it's, it's one that like I understand what people are doing and absolutely like, because I also have that firm fast rule of like I'm not going to wear stuff unless I went. 57:01 Please believe that if I went, I'm spending a lot of money. Yeah. But again, like outside of that, like because I also think that I have that rule like, yeah. Do I want to ask somebody how was going to the Masters when they're when they're when they're wearing Masters merch? 57:18 Yes. Is it super deflating for them to be like Oh no, I like I found this at goodwill. It was only like 5 bucks though. Great deal. Like yeah, exactly. What are we doing here? Yeah, Yep, that's funny. All right, let's we got three more here, so we have possibly your next S tier here. 57:39 You want to go first? This is the Masters theme song. Come on, this is you. You hear it. And it takes you to a different place. It elevates you to a different plane of existence. Man, this thing is so iconic. 58:00 I you. I. You don't disagree with me, do you? At all. I'm tracking it to S 'cause I'm going to. I was going to let you go and go double click on that. Yeah. I mean, it's just, it's, I mean, you can hear it at any time throughout the year and you it immediately like puts a smile on your face 'cause you're just thinking about the masters. 58:20 There's there's this other show I listen to and they talk about, is there this like sound or song that immediately transports you and puts you there? And this for me is that it's like the office space. You know, when they hear the Hawaiian Music after he gets hypnotized, it's like that for me. 58:40 It's like my happy place is like Doo Doo. The blood pressure is dropping. I can't wait. Also, as far as I know, it's the only golf tournament that has its own song. Oh, like and it has its own theme song you mean? 58:57 Yeah. Well, so yeah, because the broadcasts on different channels have their own broadcast specific theme. Does the Ryder Cup have one? I don't think so. 59:14 I can't even remember it. So I guess. They and and that's why that that's I mean, I'm I'm just doubling down here. I don't need to sell you anymore, but. Why not? No, you're right. I think that's it. So OK, two left, second to last one here. This one is just minimal commercial breaks. 59:30 So as we know, we talked about in the pod with the Champions dinner, they have a deal basically with CBS that they're going to air commercial breaks that only go 4 minutes Max and they go a certain amount of time before they do it and they're not showing commercials for non title sponsors generally. 59:49 So these commercial breaks are super small. If you watch the Masters and you notice like you're getting the most golf watch time of any other tournament by far. And it makes me angry thinking about all the other golf I have to watch and sit through Limu EMU and Rocket Mortgage and all these other stupid ones that I'm like, come on. 1:00:12 So for me this is like got to be A tier in my opinion. Yeah. I mean, this is we have we're we're a heavy. But again, I mean, it's, it's the masters. It's, it's very, it's very iconic. 1:00:27 There are a lot of things that are deeply associated with it. And that's why it, you know, when people talk about it not being the, the, the most important major. I'm like, what are we? Talking about here, like why? Why is this even an argument like the there's with because you stupidly, Not stupidly, but because you change venues and all these other things, you don't get this repetition. 1:00:52 So there are doing heavy lifting for the for the fans too. Yeah, it it, it's up there with, you know, I think if you, I think if you put the app at an A, this minimal commercial break has to be an A with it as well. Yeah, I think also like there's a lot of, I think the thing here is that there's a lot of important things to the masters, but not as much can touch the green jacket and the theme. 1:01:19 I mean, so far this list, what it's telling me is that this Masters is a great event and that's why there's so many good things. Like there's so many AIDS versus like, you know, you see, watch the, the guy that does S or D tier when he ranks like fast food. 1:01:35 And it's like, Oh, I can't wait to see all the DS and CS cause all these chicken sandwiches are shit. But it's like the Masters. I'm like, no, dude, like everything we're going to talk about is like, so good, pretty much. Oh, and people are going to like flame us for some of the stuff that we put in D and say that that's an A like. No, I'll go. 1:01:51 I'll go to that in the honorary. All right, let's let's close this. Baby out. Let's close it out with the pimento cheese sandwich. The most iconic piece of food at the Masters? It's very. Serving this next week, by the way. 1:02:08 Oh, we are. For those listening, TJ and I are going to be together watching the Masters this year at a bachelor party. And Jones got a little care package for the group, and that includes pimento cheese sandwiches. Did he order the Taste of the Masters? 1:02:24 We're getting the full taste of the Masters food package. Let's go dude, I'm so fired up about that 'cause we I don't know if this will ever see the light of day or not. I in a few months back I for work filmed a Chopped style TV show against recurring guest Blake von Thaden, Fatten, where we did a master's themed chop where our dishes had to include very Georgia centric or master centric food. 1:02:59 So Vedalia, onions, pimento cheese, I I think we also had Peaches in there as well. You cooked with these. And we we did a live 30 minute cooking challenge. We ran into some technical issues on the set with some burners not essentially working properly. 1:03:19 So all of my food was pretty much raw. So spoilers, I don't, I didn't win. If that, if that video sees the light of day in the next week or so, I don't think it's going to. But yeah, I've been looking forward to actually having pimento cheese sandwiches since then because we essentially made two and then deconstructed them for the food. 1:03:41 So I didn't get to actually eat 1. Dude, we have a, we have a great weekend ahead of us next. Yeah, you get the full, you get a lot of the full spread. So As for where this sits, obviously it's not going to be in D. No. 1:04:01 It's tough 'cause I it's very pimento. The pimento cheese is very polarizing. Either people really like it or they really don't like it. I've had pimento cheese sandwiches, just not from here. Just not. I enjoy them, I actually do enjoy them. 1:04:17 I think they're. ABAB, yeah, I'd go with BI. Was going to say B because if it was C then I was going to drag down probably the concession prices. I don't, I don't know, but we'll stick with B. 1:04:34 OK, so let's let's recap real quick. OK, We're going to go from bottom to top. So in the D tier, we have the egg salad sandwich and we have our friends Jack, Tom and Gary, the honorary starters, specifically the honorary starters in the C tier. 1:04:50 And this is fine, present, appreciated, but not essential. We've got the azaleas, Butler cabin, and the jumpsuits that the caddies wear in the B tier, which we say are great. This adds a lot of flavor, but it's not doing heavy lifting. This is concession prices being low, the Masters Champions dinner, the lifetime invitation, the merch and the pimento cheese. 1:05:11 Then in the A tier, by far we have the most tier. We've got Amen corner, the par 3 contest, the no phones, Hello Friends and all the language that comes with gymnants, the physical leaderboard, Magnolia Lane, the Masters app, and the no commercial or minimal commercial breaks. 1:05:30 And then in the holy S tier, here we have the green jacket and the Masters theme song. How's that hit you? How's that feel to you right now? I think it's great. 1:05:45 I it, it, I think if, if I were to move any, it causes a large shift across the board. Yeah, Yeah. And I, you know, at the time that we're kind of looking at, I don't want to fully go down that path. 1:06:01 There's a world in which I could see us, at least in my book. I could see us bumping down phones and physical leaderboard. To be. To be. But then that creates like a humongous shift of then bumping down like the invitation and the concession prices. 1:06:21 And then if the invitations and the concession prices, then I think like Butler Cabin goes down and the jumps just go down. So we're not going to do that, or at least I don't think we need to do that. How do you feel about it? I, I feel good about it. I think this shape it does exactly what I expected it to do for the masters. 1:06:39 Yeah, it is not a bell curve at all. Nope. But I think it's, I think it's like you said, I think it's very representative of how iconic and important the Masters is. Yeah, yeah. So by the time this publishes, we are going to be less than one week out from the Masters. 1:06:59 I know everyone's stoked, so before we leave TJI, just want real quick to ask you for a bold pick here. Who do you think is going to win the Masters? Do you want a bold pick or do you want who my pick is to win? No, like give me the pick who you think will win. 1:07:18 This year this guy's been hunting. I'm I'm really worried because he famously cannot close out right now, but I would love to see him get over the hump of not closing out and having it be done at the Masters. Put me down for a Ludwig win. 1:07:36 OK, OK. What about you? I mean, this course fits. If you look at the stats, he's like one of the favored ones right now too. Yeah, OK, Speaking of favored, this course loves lefties and, or should I say lefties love this course. 1:07:55 And he's been in good form lately. It would be his first Masters win, but I just think there's something special about him. I'm going to go with Akshay. Wow. OK. I just think he's like got the he's got Griner on the bag. 1:08:12 He's like kind of, you know, won some big events, which won Arnold Palmer. He was in contention at Pebble. Like I just, I don't know, I'm really a fan of his right now and I think he's in a good form so. What are what? I know you. 1:08:27 What are his odds at? What did you? What did you look at? Oh, I didn't. Look. Let me look. Right now. Right now. Right now, Right now. OK. Would it shock you for me to tell you that Scotty is still a favored no? Ludwig +2000. 1:08:47 This list doesn't even have Akshay on it, so get your value folks hold. On. What? Hold on Akshay plus 5500? Whoa, that's great. I'm going to sign into DraftKings and go walk in. 1:09:07 You know we're not going to shoot off the gambling disclaimer here because we are not actually sponsored. But whatever money you choose, choose to gamble responsibly. Only lose what you can afford to lose. But maybe you sprinkle a little bit on Akshay to win at 5400. 1:09:23 Nuggies. Nuggies.
