And Mel is wearing quite the on theme out there
for the week.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Well, I think it's just been around you so much.
You love a little bit of a fiend, don't you?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
So I thought this week? Are you so? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I wearing my Pimento cheese hat and my green top
because this week is one of my favorite weeks, the Masters.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
You want brand as well? To be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Well, thank you. We're recording this while I'm on site
in an undisclosed location in Augusta, Georgia, and I have
to have my ready to go Masters themed where.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Okay, I have a question before we even get into anything,
So and I had to message you about this, so
you obviously put on your Instagram this week the big
You went and bought a closet.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Basically, I went and bought a clothing rack. I was
thinking about you the whole time. I was like, where
is Mel to put this together for me.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I didn't put that together, no problem. But so you
shipped your clothes in?
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Well, yes, because I have been on the road for
three weeks straight coming into this week, so I couldn't
very well bring two weeks worth of I'm doing like
multiple outfit changes a day for the show that I'm hosting.
So right, don't judge me. I see your judgy face.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Well, I mean it's a bit extra in it.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
No, okay, but first of all, I am extra. It
is why you love me. But yes I did. I
did ship two three suitcases here.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Okay, but how did you ship it?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Because you're here, you've been shipsticks?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
But was it already packed? And what did Andrew do it?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
No, Andrew, No, I packed it all myself. This is
how organized I was about this. Your type A self
would have loved it. I packed it all before I
left for my three weeks before I was going to
be in Augusta. So everything was zipped, packed, organized, and
while it was gone, Andrew just shipped it via shipsticks
(02:17):
for me. But he didn't pack anything. And then so
I shipped it. I shipped it here and when I
got everything, I went to Walmart in a pink suit.
By the way, I got some looks nice.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I do love them.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
There's so much stage there. I do love a Walmart,
got myself a clothing rack, and I've made my room
into a great, a great closet.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I mean, Kiara, I'm for it, and I'm guessing you
gonna ship it back because.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I got to ship it back. There's no way. But
I'm hosting this show called Under the Umbrellas. Please look
at it on masters dot com.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
It's very good. It's very good.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
It's for the girlies.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Pictures are amazing as well.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
By the way, the pictures are I mean, as you know,
Augusta does every thing, yes, at one thousand percent, and
they have gone above and beyond to make this show,
you know, the best of the best. So yeah to
the photos that they've done of the show and the
guests are incredible. But I got to do lots of
alphae changes for it. So oh no, I had the
style a bunch of outfits.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Oh gosh, amazing. Very happy for you about the outfits.
Thank you, but thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Can we talk a little bit.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
About AMwA, because yes, I'm a big fan of AMwA, Yes,
massive fan.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
So by the time this airs, we will have a winner.
Right now as we're recording, we don't know who the
winner will be, but it will either be english woman
Lotti Woad, who I'm sure you're rooting for, or it
could be an American like Kiara Romero or Mega Gane.
There's a couple of Spanish players in there. Or it
could be someone come from behind winner. But I was
(03:49):
here last year working an or the Augusta National Women's
Amateur when Lottie Woad won, and she was kind of,
you know, a bit not unknown. Of course she was
a great goal, but it was kind of her first
time being really thrust onto the scene and she was
a bit shy and didn't really have all that media experience.
And now she's had this year to grow and she's
(04:10):
played in all these majors and it's just, you know,
it's been talking this week about all the confidence she
has in the mental game she's gained, and she's just
super impressive as a player and as a young lady.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, she is.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Even me being British, I'd obviously heard of her name.
But then obviously, like you said, that just absolutely propelled it,
didn't it. It's a little bit of kind of stardom
quite y so as well, So explain to me again
because just for the audience. So what is the format?
So they played the last So there is a cut,
isn't it? Is it two days and then a cut
and then the third days? Yes, or guest the National.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
So they play the first two days at Champions Retreat,
which is a really hard golf course. I've played it before.
They have three nines. It's really cool. They have all
these cabins there. It's beautiful. It's about thirty minutes away
from Augusta National. And then they make a cut. It's
the top thirty players and ties. I can't remember exactly
if it's thirty two or thirty three girls that got through,
(04:59):
but everybody on Friday, the whole field has the chance
to play a practice round at Augusta National, which is
really nice, and then the top thirty and ties will
play a competitive final round on Saturday, and then a
winner will be crowned.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
That's so sick, isn't that? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
These girls get I mean, this opportunity is just it's insane.
I feel like, just from a personal development perspective, everything
about Augusta, as we said, is the very best, So
you want to put your very best foot forward, and
you learn so much being around all the other competitors,
around the members, around the whole machine that they get
to be a part of. It just exposes you to
(05:36):
a whole new world. I was talking to you know,
Amelia Durant.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Yeah, she's awesome.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
She was runner up in twenty twenty one, she played
five times. Now she works in media. She's just like
the most put together person. But we were talking about
just how, you know, playing in this event completely changed
her life and the things that it's given her, the relationships,
and so that's only going to continue on and create
a really strong tradition. So happy for all the girls
that get to participate in.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
It and for anyone. I mean you were just saying
then like the whole aura of like ah Guesta as well.
Like so I've I had expectations of the Masters when
I went last year for the first time, Like didn't
really think.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
So last year was your first time.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Yeah, first time.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
That's where you got your Pimento cheese hat.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
That's when I got my Fermento cheese hat. I don't
really get taken aback very easily.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I actually was genuinely very taken.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Aback.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I couldn't believe how what organized chaos it was, do
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, I mean it's just everyone is so like vibrating
with happiness.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
It's like a Disneyland for golfers.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, Like there's nothing out of place, like there's no litter,
like there was a guy, I'm not joking you. It
was like pushing like pine straw back in the Pine Straw,
where if it was everyone like a path. Like the bathrooms,
like the toilets are just like organized, like they just
like say this one's free, that one's free, and you
just like in and out really.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Quick, and there's an attendant in there that is like
the nicest person you've ever How are you? And genuine yeah,
you just feel so grateful.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I've only been to the Masters once as a patron
where I didn't have to work. I was lucky to
be here for some sponsor things and I had one
day to kind of just walk around and actually enjoy
that experience. I just remember that day. I kind of
started walking around on my own. I didn't know who
I was going to see, and I just kept running
into Oh my gosh, Hey, and it just you know,
(07:23):
you don't have your cell phone, so you just end
up having these great conversations and you get lost in
the moment and like, oh, let's go get another sandwich.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
By the way, full dollars?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Were you a domestic or an international domestic bear?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Four dollars? I think international is about five.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Oh too rich for my blood.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I meant savage one dollar fifty. You can't go wrong.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Can you know how many pameno cheese sandwiches did you have?
I had six and any other ones or just pimeno
and about twelve pays?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Huh? I only had the twelve paars in one day.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I was assuming that I didn't spread out.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
No, okay, so this ream's now wildlife? Can we talk
about this Augusta.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I saw a hawk today, a giant hawk, did you Yeah.
I haven't seen a squirrel yet, so I feel like
if there's a hawk, there must be prey.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Okay, all right, Well, sorry, we've had a special guest
with David Attenborough on the show.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
But the Augusta National hawk lives in its meatural habitat.
I said that there is pray.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Okay, back to what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
There's actually not that many much wildlife, and I swear,
I swear to god they do pipe music in.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
You're just going with every conspiracy.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Now, I saw one goose there and by the time
we walked back ten minutes later, it wasn't there.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
So I think it took it away. They took it away.
There's no nature. There's a century that conspiracy. And I'm
going to believe it.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
All right, will you believe whatever you want to believe?
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Bell, we have to even get KaiA passed last year and.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
He was like everyone is accounted to for Yeah, he
had to wear his purse. How old was Kai? So
is you Carly and Kai? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
He was five months old?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Oh my gosh. And how did he do?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
He did great? I changed his napone make corner.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I did it on perper in a way because I
wanted him to, like I wanted to tell them old, like, hey,
you've been naked it gus so I think that's kind
of cool.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Did you do this on a practice day or a
tournament on a Tuesday?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Okay, did you get a photo?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah? Yeah, it's got it in his room.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, that's like.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
We got a couple of weird stairs.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
But I was like, I was like, I guess you
could go to the bat.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
But yeah, no, it's just I think it's just a
really cool experience. And I know there's like everybody has
a chance to put their name in a ballot right
to get tickets.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Oh oh the lottery.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah sorry, the lottery. Yeah yeah. But she also think
is bullshit. I think, honestly, they give them to like
three people.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I don't know. I see it on Instagram a lot Gosh,
you're deep in the conspiracies.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Yeah, I am.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I do see it on Instagram and TikTok. I Actually
I got a message from a girl that was like, hey,
my husband won a lot like for one ticket or something,
and she was asking me if I could get her
a ticket, and I was like, oh, I wish I could,
but no.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
You can't get tickets. It's so hard.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah. So so I know people do get them.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
We get them from the LPGA.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Really.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Yeah, going on Tuesday? Yeah, sick, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
You're coming on Tuesday?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yeah, I'm coming Monday.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I'm so offended.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Why are you offended?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Because my friends don't tell me anything.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I literally decided this last night. I decided I literally text.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
A Smorry whatever, so okay, cool, see that the Masters
really buried the lead on that. Of course I was
going to text you, but I am very happy that
that that you get that access because of the LPGA.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
That's yeah, it's sick. So I was like, Holy, I
have to go. I just have to.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
And she's like, well, you're going away for a few weeks,
like working soon, so can you just like I don't
take the purse basically, and I.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Was like okay.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
So I suggested I would be there from Monday to Friday,
which went down like a shit sandwich.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
So, okay, I'll be there for a week.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
I was like, I've got to go like mingle and
stuff with. I don't even know who. I've just made
that up.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
But there's so many people to mingle with, the best
place on earth to.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Mingle, I know, but how many I'm going You're coming
back Tuesday? Okay, maybe Wednesday? Yeah, if I can push
it to Wednesday, I might.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, it's gonna be great. She's gonna be like, okay, fine, yeah,
let's do Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah, Okay, okay, okay, okay, shall we okay too.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
She's so easily convinced. You had to say Tuesday night,
there's a party on Tuesday night that we should go to.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
All right, fine, I won't tell until on there.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Okay, this episode comes out on Wednesday, so.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
She will tell then, but I'm still not home exactly. Oh,
poor Carly, I know, blessed. I actually don't know what
she feels that with me.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I'm such a dick anyway, Okay, great, that makes my
day that you're going to be here. So one of
the things that I am always shocked by, and I
think that you've noticed this in the past two is
just the elevation changes are on this place and how
hilly everything is. I feel okay about not having major
gym stuff set up next week because I'm gonna be
(11:48):
getting must steps in.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Yeah, do you know?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Okay, out of all the holes, you know what was
the most dramatic for me, Well, actually there's two holes
compared to on TV.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Number one does yeah so uphill it's.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Down way up, and number ten you literally cannot see
shit from the tenth two.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I agree, it's it's so insanely dramatic.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Insanely you have no idea even eighteen, to be honest, Yeah,
eighteen walking up that hill. Eighteen is so hilly it's
so uphill. Yeah, no, I'm with you in that. I
think the elevation it was. I knew it was going
to be hilly, but I didn't think it was going
to be like, I mean, eighteen is straight up hill.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Ten.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Like I said the T shirt, you cannot you literally
cannot see any of the fairway and one for me,
I was like.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Holy shit, it's like all the way up there. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
No, it's super super hilly, super undulated. But I mean
it's just pristine, isn't it. I mean there's not a
blade of grass at place.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
No. I mean we kind of mentioned this already, but
every year, I mean they do everything at one hundred
percent always, and every year they also make all these
new innovations. In this year, did they add wildlife that
was not in the Frenst release this year? Maybe next year.
They're really enhancing what you can watch on the range,
So they said all that. In addition to the live
(13:01):
viewing experience, Master's digital platforms have expanded the track feature
to include the driving range at the tournament practice area.
Beginning on Monday, April seventh, Users will have access to
live and recorded data on every single shot from each
player during their range sessions throughout the twenty twenty five Masters.
Details include distance, carry, speed, hangtime, hike, curve, and wind.
Each individual shot will deliver a three beat tracing and
a full scatter plot for every player will be available
(13:23):
from each day of their range sessions.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
For those golf nerds, they are going to be.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I don't know if I can say, like cream in
the fence, O, it's gonna be insane.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
If you enjoy data, it will be a great week
for you. The data boys will be all over it.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Okay, maybe should have said that, but you know what
I mean, it's going to be losing their mind.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I mean, it's even my mates have mentioned it, like we.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Were I went from a couple of days ago just
to we went to watch the Liverpool game and they
were like, it's going to be so sick to like
see like any shots and actually see the actual average
of like how they hit it and stuff.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
And I'm like, to be fair, like you're not wrong,
Like it's actually kind of cool. Are you going to
be into that? Kira?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
No, okay, cool, But for you that are listening that
are into that, which I'm guessing is probably not that many.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
It is available for data's great, but I just don't
think that I'm going to spend time in my day
looking up Joe Heismith's range stats.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
That's so rude.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Why not or or Coroblin's or John robs.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Me and you will be too busy mingling, And that's
why ye will be too busy mingling and having a beer.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
But either way, it's just so so beyond.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
It must cost a fortune. Can how much that costs?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
But that's the thing about that, they're always putting everything
back into the tournament, always like doing the most to
make it the best experience possibly, like there's truly no
other sporting event like like I don't care football, basketball, badminton,
like nothing, nothing exists. It's very cool. Experience is all
they care about is the patron and the fan.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
And they do a great job at that. By the
way as well.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, I'm personally excited for the merch. I've not gotten
to to get in there. But as you know, we
do love a theme, we do love a shop.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I'm with you on this. It's one of my favorite
shopping trips ever was at the Masters. And I'm getting
a fucking name this year.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Well, you're gonna have to go early.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I'm going to I'm going to go early on Tuesday.
I'm gonna get a fucking name. If I don't get
a name, I'm gonna be livered. I'm desperate to get
one of them names. What is that like fifty or
something or one hundred. There's like one hundred and it's
first come, first service, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I don't know. Yeah, you gotta be. You got to
be on top of things.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Yeah, I'm going to get one. I'm going to get one.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I'm going to bull doze my way in there.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
You can't run though you got a speedwalk.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Well, yeah, that's true. Is it really worth getting off
at five? Probably not for a name, is it?
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Anyway?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yes, the merch is amazing. What you're going to get?
Can you just give me like a little bit of
a downlow.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
There's always like a really nice sweater and it's like
something that you would wear with trousers or just a
really elevated piece of clothing that I feel it's like
a collector's item for me. So I love that. I
always get a mug.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
I think we should go shopping together. I think that'd
be cooun experience.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I think that that would be hilarious. See what you
pick out and see what I pick out? Wen't care
at the end?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Okay that sounds good.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Okay, great for research, Yes, for research reach. Okay, we'll
be right back. We've got some funny things to share
after this, so we thought we might go into some
of the funnier pop culture moments, especially from last year,
(16:37):
A couple of other random ones, and just some stuff
that we love. Do you remember seeing Bryson when he
moved the sign? Wait, I can't remember what hole that
was on?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
It was the second round last year?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Wasn't that par five thirteenth hole during a wind whip
second round. This is a golf dot Com article at
a gust national word. D Shamboo flair Deshamboo baby Shamboo flared.
His drive into the pine trees on the right right
side is a fairly common miss off the T thirteen.
Most players simply punched back out of the faraway, positioning
(17:11):
themselves for a third shot to the green. But d
Chambeau is not most players. He ended up moving a
giant sign, and it says it looked like a lumberjack
calling a fallen pine.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I was about to say he looked like a lumberjack.
He just had it over his shoulders like a fireman's lift, didn't.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
They they were probably.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
I feel like that it's just so Brison.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
So sorry.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
I mean that's a heavy ass sign.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
So yeah, I don't know how he would have gotten
it out of the ground. I feel like those things
are pretty well that's true.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I mean lifting it fair enough, but like actually getting
it out of the ground like.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I did a volunteer. He didn't get it out.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
It is a good photo, but it's very it was
very Brison.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
It's a great photo. I'm sure that we will see
another great Bryson moment this year. He might be a player.
I'd be really interested to do the data thing with
on the range. I might have to. And then speaking
of Bryson on the Range last year, there's that great
clip I think it was on Live from where VJ
saying is warming up next to Bryson on the range
and he just stops his warm up and like has
(18:18):
his hands on his driver. Just what is going on?
And Bryson is just getting after it. It's just go
full fact you're fifty.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Oh yeah, it's like a machine and it's just going boowowowow,
like that is just hitting so many Honestly, it's like
kids at the range, you know, when you get like
little kids at the range and the ball, like they
just hit the ball, then hit another one, then hit
another one, then hit another one. That's basically what he
was doing on the range. And VJ was just completely
in awe of how far he was sitting it.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Yeah. I don't know that VJ was in awe so
much as he just was like what is happening?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Maybe maybe actually he.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Was very confused. You know. There's also there's just so
much movement. There's like grunting, like there's just it's not
just having like a chill range sash. There's no interactive experience.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
And he's got his six foot high golf teas as
well that he's seeing every time. It's doing the most.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
But hey, it works, it does.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
And then we also had last year. Okay, before we
get into this, I'm a massive fan of this, by
the way, Jason Day's new style. Yeah, I'm actually a
huge fan of it.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I think he pulls off really well and I think
golf needs that kind of street whear.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah, at first, people were like that because yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Yeah, you're same.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Look when you think of, you know, the type of
person that would wear a Melbourne like this, like cool,
cutting edge streetwear type of thing, I'm not sure that
I would have appropriated those words to Jason Day. Just
not think against Jason. I just don't know that I
would have been my choice. But now that I see
him in the clothes, it makes sense, and he's fully
embraced it, like it's one of those things where you
(19:50):
can't be fifty percent. He is fully on. I mean,
he's wearing sweatpants to the form, which I love. I
think that you need somebody that is considered part of
the golf establishment to start dressing like that to change
a lot of what's accepted within golf establishment.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Right Like, I feel like Ricky did it with Puma,
right like when he first came out, I feel like
he kind of pushed the envelope a little bit. And then,
you know, we've had kind of a few players, I
mean even really like going back to Bryson, like he
had his you know, his pain stew a tribute kind
of style, which which I thought was kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
That pushes it as well. But yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I mean there's not I mean, to be honest, it's
not that many golfers that could pull off like a
lot of street where playing golf, because it's do you
know what I mean? Like, I feel like golfers are
naturally quite you know.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
What I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Stylish is not the word.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Well, it's very classic looking, isn't it? Like golf is
traditionally very classic looking. I think you said it perfectly.
I think he's really grown into the style, and I
can actually I as well have like visually, I now
get it. I'm like, oh, actually he does suit it,
whereas before You're right, it was a bit like whoa.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
And seeking of style. You know what. I'm excited to
see the wags, especially the way that they all dress
up for the par three and their white jumpsuits as
the caddies, but they all kind of have their own
ways of dressing up the suit itself, and then everyone
brings it for the fashion for the actual tournament, which
you know, I love. I've been talking to several of
(21:08):
said wags about their outfits, the custom shoes that have
been ordered, the bags, the hats. It's oh, I'm so excited.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Okay, So I'm actually so by the time this episodes out,
I'm going to do and this is me saying it,
so I commit to it. With Puma's new collection That've
actually got from really cool stuff that I think would
be really cool Master's Vibe, and I'm actually going to
do an outfit thing. Please don't fucking laugh because I'm
gonna be so awkward in it.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yes, I'm so excited.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
I'm going to be so happy with it, but I'm
going to make it funny.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
And I just thought this stuff is so cool for
like the Masters Week, so I was like, I have
to do something because I just love their clothes.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
I love that Whack When it all cast, my Korean
golf brand partner, they sent me some sick stuff. Did
you see the other day that little green scarf that
I was wearing.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Yes, very cute.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
That's from Whack. And then they also sent me some
stuff and unfortunately you can't get in America. It's the
Whack Korea collection, a couple of vests that I will
be wearing on under the umbrellas. It's amazing how the
brands go all out. I don't know if it's like
a this year thing or what, but it just seems
like everyone.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
I feel like it's getting bigger every year.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Yeah, like I think as well, like the wags are
saying on Instagram, this is my outfit for you know,
this is going to be my weak outfit. And like
comedians that are going like they did, like Heathen Macmaon
did it last year.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
And like her outfit daily, Like people just get into it.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Have you ever seen like Paige Lorenz They are tennis
wags and they have I mean, there's so much more
than just wags. Of course, they're they're creators, influencers, business
women Page has created this whole fashion line. Like they're
really impressive people, but they've started this movement of you know,
you have this thing that you do with your partner
(22:50):
and like you're constantly traveling, so they vlogged and they
create all this content around all of that, and it
feels like people in other sports golf in our world
will since we're in this world, are also doing that.
So I've noticed so much more content from that and
like as they should. Yeah, they're part of the teams,
they're supporting everything, Like this kind of this stuff does
(23:10):
not happen without a supportive partner, as you.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Know, if not one of the most valuable parts of
the team, if I'm honest.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
With you, Yeah, yeah, And like I want to know
what they're wearing. I want to know. I want to
know what they what they're doing, or how they get
from point A to point B. And yeah, but the
Masters is like they're bringing in. So we thought we
would think about some stories for the week to watch
out four maybe make some predictions. So first story that
we have is, of course, does Rory complete his career
(23:36):
Grand Slam. He's had two wins this season so far
when I interviewed him at the Houston Open, so it's
top five finish. I think he shot sixty four on
the final day. He told me in the interview that
his elbow was hurting. I don't know if that was like, uh,
it was an interesting thing to say. So I don't
know how much that's going to continue to impact him
this week or you know, at all. We'll see, But
(23:58):
does he complete the career Grand Slam this week?
Speaker 3 (24:01):
I'm always wanting Rory to win the Masters.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I know it's.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Hard not to kind of root for him.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Maybe he's I mean, I'm sure he has got a
bit of a niggle but maybe he's made that public
just to protect him.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
A little bit, because I feel like all everybody.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Talks about at the Masters is when it is Worri
going to win the Masters and do the critic Grand Slam.
I think this is the best form he's come into
the Masters ever. I think it's the most, Like he says,
it's some of the most golf that he's played, and
he's actually been playing obviously amazing.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
You know when at and T.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Pebble Beach, really difficult golf course for him, Poana Greens,
West Coast, and then he goes and wins are the Players,
which arguably is one of the hardest events to win
because it's literally you have to hit every single shot
in the bag and you can't have any weakness at all,
Like there's no kind of breathing space with that golf course.
So I would love to say, yes, I'm not quite sure.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
I just don't know. Like if he doesn't win this year,
I think it would be you know, he's done everything right,
Like he's doing everything right and everything he can do
that's into his control. Sometimes it just comes down to
somebody else just played so well, you know, it's circumstances
you can't control.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yeah, And the other thing this year is like Scott
is not quite in the form that he normally is
but after his injury, Like Xander's not quite in the
form that he is after his injury as well.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
So like he's got a couple of players that.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Are usually basically the players that he has to be
and he doesn't really have that, which is quite obviously
even more of advantage to him, like a pathway to
success at the Masters.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
So we'll see. I'll obviously be rooting for the guy.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
I think if he gets off to a good round
in the first round, I think he's got a decent chance.
That's kind of been his nemesis as well, has been
kind of the first opening round.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
So we'll see.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
I'll be rooting three rules. I'd love you to do it.
I think he deserves it.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Yeah, it would be cool, Yeah, it would be very cool.
It would be I think an iconic Masters.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Yes, he would agree.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
If he were to do it would solidify his legend
status in the game. He would be the first true
legend since Tiger.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
I think he'd be generational.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yeah, I think exactly. Like obviously Scotty's on the road
to that.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
But Rory's been off for fifty to twenty years, Nelly,
he has been at this.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. So speaking of Scottie, as
you mentioned, he hasn't been in his complete form this year.
He has yet to win in twenty twenty five. Last year,
ahead of the Master's tournament, he had won a bunch uh,
he'd won a Bayhill, he'd wanted the players. He played
really well, especially in the final round in Houston last week.
He was really making a charge of the leaderboard to
(26:24):
try and take the win from Minwu Lee. So that
kind of I don't know, he gets It's like he
gets a b in his bonnet and he just gets
after it. He's the most competitive person on this planet, truly,
I think, and not with other people, with himself. He
gets so upset with himself if he doesn't do what
he knows what he's capable of doing. Yeah, I don't know.
(26:45):
The stat that I read was he would be the
first person since Jack Nicholas to win three Master's tournaments
in four years, which is crazy. Mean, there's a reason
why Jack's the last person that did that.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
That's crazy. I don't think you can mull him out. Obviously.
It's Scotty Scheffer, isn't that.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I feel like when you come back injury, even for
the world number one, like, it just takes some game
time just to get back into your feels and where
your game is really at. You can practice as much
as you want, a high intensity, but you actually needed
to bring it into the arena. So look, I think
you're right. I think once he's got a little be
in his bonnet, he kind of wants to prove it
to himself more than anyone that he can do it.
When people are saying that, oh, he's not quite in
(27:19):
the form that he normally is, which is still crazy
because he's still playing unbelievable golf like alw he's just
not winning like he normally is.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
I wouldn't put it past him.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
I mean, I wouldn't put anything past scottis shop and
when a cups to golf.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
No, I know exactly. I think he just loves this
golf course. He's won two in the last three years.
I really would not put it past him at all.
I certainly think he's going to finish top ten.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Yeah, I would better that.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Is there anybody more off the beaten path that you
have your eye on.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Okay, So I love a little bit of like kind
of a rando winning a Master's Like I thought Danny
Wit was going to win when he won.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Really yeah, I like, what insight you have?
Speaker 3 (27:53):
I didn't. I just was like, I don't know. He's
been playing really good.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I think he'd won like a couple events on the
European Tour that year, and I was like, he's in
really good form. I'm like, I don't know, and yeah,
Tommy makes a bet on him and he was like
sixty six to one.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
My god, did you bet on him?
Speaker 3 (28:07):
He would have made not allowed to bet on golf care.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Oh that's true. Well good, I'm glad you made your
friends some money.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I mean, I I started the year I was kind
of feeling Ludwig Oberg and then he's obviously one. But
I don't, I don't know. I think i'd love Tommy
to do it. I think he's starting to play a
little bit better. He finished third last year as well.
I think he did third or fourth, So yeah, I
would love him to play well. I think i'd be
really cool for his Obviously he's never won on the
PGA tour, and I feel like he's kind of like
(28:35):
my rando would be a Tommy Fleetwood, and I'm always
pulling for Tommy. Yeah, Carlie still sings the chant regularly.
That was it the Rider Cup in Paris.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
You know that Tommy dormy dumby Fleetwood. You know I
heard that she randomly sings it was not a huge
Tommy fan.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Yeah, I should random it like if she's had a
couple Yeah, Fleetwood dormit.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Oh my god, rightings like that as well, like you
just did.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yeah, it's so America.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
It's so American.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I'm like, no, wait, wait, do it correctly? Do it
like the British people do.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Okay, me tell me it's fleet would me?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
There you go cleek Wood.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Yeah, so when Carli's had a couple of cocktails, she's.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
She's British people are so much better about that stuff.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Chance.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
All we do is you just say us A U
s A yeah, okay, we have that.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
My voice also goes about eighteen octaves lower, so you know,
she sounds like a bloke, sounds like such a man
stuff like a guy at the pub.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
No, I do I know, And I'm for.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
It here, it's giving authentic. The Americans need to step
it up with the chance.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
They say like USA here to stay And I'm like, dude,
and I like some time. I'm like, come on now,
if you're going to ship talkers, do it properly.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Yeah, but when you don't have that muscle. We don't
have that muscle. You guys are just world the ball.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
With us like soccer, like we we make so many
stupid chance.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
But you would think that the American fotball would have
the same But no, not the case. The Eagles.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Maybe you have, but the Eagles chann I'm an Eagles fan.
I think the Eagles Channe is really weird. E g
l e eigle fly Eagles.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Fly on the road too. I'm like, that's I don't know,
I feel like it could have been cooler.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
It's more of a theme song. But yeah, okay, sorry continue.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
So yeah that's what.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
So do you know what if Carlie's going to sing it,
you know, after a couple of cocktails, I think we should,
you know, you should have a little bit on Tommy Fleetwood.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
If we were allowed to bet.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
But I think he's going to be in My Little
Dark Horse I think it's Tommy and then just quickly
before we go players that are not in the Masters,
that people like Ricky's not in it a bit good
about that.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
I know Gary Woodland, I.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Don't know if he's in the Is he in the
field oft Balero?
Speaker 3 (30:39):
I think it was last week, wasn't in the cough.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, but if he wins, if the last the last
last thing that could possibly happen is Valero. Yeah, if
you're if you win and you're not already in the field,
that's but yeah, the top fifty cutoff was was last
week at Houston. Oh, Ben Griffin was he missed like
a five foot part for par that would have gotten
him in and he missed it and ended up fifty
(31:02):
one and he mel just listen to this. He had played.
It was his twelve week straight playing with no breaks.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Oh that makes me feel sick.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah. Oh, and he's out at Valero trying to win.
So now he's thirteen eighteen zerow dude, it's really that's
like so heartbreaking. Yeah, that's and he's never played in
the Masters before, He's only played a couple of majors,
so it was oh buddy, yeah, but he was so
because I saw him after he was so calm about
it and ready. Yeah, I mean, who knows behind closed stores?
(31:37):
But he just seemed so genuinely like it's okay, like
I tried really hard and I'll get there one day
and meant it.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Dude, twelve weeks in the road, that's a fucking lot
in it.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
It's horrific girls do on the LPGA, and I I
don't know how you do it. I mean, I don't know.
Maybe I did when I first. I think the max
up that is like eight or nine.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
I know, but that's still a lot, dude, to be
able to physically show up and focus twelve weeks. No,
I could not be me. I'll tell you right now.
I could not be me. I'm doing I'm doing five
weeks in a row right now, and that is absolutely
the end of my mental road for this. I mean,
(32:16):
and the fact that the Master's Tournament is the last
in the August National Mensameter or the last two weeks
of it, like those two events are you know, they'll
give anybody energy. So I'm so happy to be here, as.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
I would say that that's probably given you life.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Yeah, it's totally giving me life. When other people are
so happy to be working on something. It makes you
happy to be working on something. But twelve, no, man.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Well, thirteen really thirteen crazy?
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Okay, give me your pick before we leave.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
I'm going to have to say Rory. But I think
I'm going to be a business. I don't know I'm
gonna have to say him. I just I'm pulling for him.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
I don't I don't know. I really want him to
do it. So you're not going to say Rory, I
know you're not. Who are you going to say?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I don't want to say. I'm that you've said him.
I just feel like if he was going to win,
it would be this year. Like it seems like all
the circumstances, all the stars are aligning. But you know
what we didn't talk about. We didn't talk about any
live players except for bryceon d Shamboo.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
I know, Jamboo Boo, hey boo.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
It could be a John rob it could be a Brooks,
your body Brooks.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
I know I would love Brooks to do it as well.
I'm still a big fan of Brooks.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
But oh, I know that.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
This is really controversial and like I'm probably incorrect sayings.
I don't think they play enough. Oh, they like, I
don't know. I just feel that the PGA Tour guys
have an advantage. I know Bryson did what he did
at the US Open, like awesome, good for him, like amazing,
But I do think, like, I don't know, I think
Jacko Neeman is probably the best player on live right now.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Would you not say?
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:46):
I think he's He's probably got the best chance. Out
of the live guys. You can never rule Brooks out.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Honestly, Phil's been playing like pretty good at the Masters
recently the last few years, which is kind of.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
That would be, that.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Would be, But yeah, I know we haven'tbody spoke.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Like, I'm curious every year now that this has become
more normal, I'm just curious how they show up because
there have been Masters tournaments and other majors where they're great. Yeah,
they're really blowing it out and it's almost like they've
got a chip on their shoulders so they want to
come out and put on a good performance, and then
other majors where it's been like, oh see, we told
you right, you know you don't play enough golf or
(34:23):
whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
I think out of the lift guys, I think it's Bryson.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
I would say Bryson, Yeah, Nieman, and then I really
want to say Brooks. I'll just say the Brooks will
come Smith. I think cam Smith left that place as well.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Like the he's not been the cam Smith that we
that like won the players. But we'll see, we'll see.
I would say my pick from if I was picking
from of the Lift players, I would go with Bryson,
And since you picked Rory, I will go different and
I will pick Scottie to win. I know, very brave
choice for me. And I will pick him based on
(34:54):
the performance that he had on the Sunday at Houston,
because it just seemed like it was the Scotty of
old and it seemed like he clicked back into whatever
that gear is. He just didn't he ran out of
holes to catch up. So they start fresh though at
Augusta National.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Who's going it right then?
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Okay, we shall see. I just want everyone to win
and have a great time.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
I just want everyone who plays more that's fun.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Well, I'm so excited to see you next week. This
made my day, I know.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
I can't wait to see what we're going to pick
together at the March.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Oh, we can take some cute photos, do it. Yay,
I haven't seen you. I haven't seen you in so long.
I haven't seen you since we started this show.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Yeah, I know. Let's talk up this week, all right.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I hope everybody enjoys the Master's Tournament, and also, if
you love me, you will please watch Under the Umbrellas
on masters dot Com YouTube. It's a really cool, female forward,
lifestyle all that type of show that kind of presents
everything in a new way. So I hope everyone enjoys it.

Okay, I have a question before we even get into anything,
So and I had to message you about this, so
you obviously put on your Instagram this week the big
You went and bought a closet.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Basically, I went and bought a clothing rack. I was
thinking about you the whole time. I was like, where
is Mel to put this together for me.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I didn't put that together, no problem. But so you
shipped your clothes in?
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Well, yes, because I have been on the road for
three weeks straight coming into this week, so I couldn't
very well bring two weeks worth of I'm doing like
multiple outfit changes a day for the show that I'm hosting.
So right, don't judge me. I see your judgy face.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Well, I mean it's a bit extra in it.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
No, okay, but first of all, I am extra. It
is why you love me. But yes I did. I
did ship two three suitcases here.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Okay, but how did you ship it?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Because you're here, you've been shipsticks?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
But was it already packed? And what did Andrew do it?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
No, Andrew, No, I packed it all myself. This is
how organized I was about this. Your type A self
would have loved it. I packed it all before I
left for my three weeks before I was going to
be in Augusta. So everything was zipped, packed, organized, and
while it was gone, Andrew just shipped it via shipsticks
(02:17):
for me. But he didn't pack anything. And then so
I shipped it. I shipped it here and when I
got everything, I went to Walmart in a pink suit.
By the way, I got some looks nice.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I do love them.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
There's so much stage there. I do love a Walmart,
got myself a clothing rack, and I've made my room
into a great, a great closet.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I mean, Kiara, I'm for it, and I'm guessing you
gonna ship it back because.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I got to ship it back. There's no way. But
I'm hosting this show called Under the Umbrellas. Please look
at it on masters dot com.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
It's very good. It's very good.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
It's for the girlies.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Pictures are amazing as well.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
By the way, the pictures are I mean, as you know,
Augusta does every thing, yes, at one thousand percent, and
they have gone above and beyond to make this show,
you know, the best of the best. So yeah to
the photos that they've done of the show and the
guests are incredible. But I got to do lots of
alphae changes for it. So oh no, I had the
style a bunch of outfits.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Oh gosh, amazing. Very happy for you about the outfits.
Thank you, but thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Can we talk a little bit.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
About AMwA, because yes, I'm a big fan of AMwA, Yes,
massive fan.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
So by the time this airs, we will have a winner.
Right now as we're recording, we don't know who the
winner will be, but it will either be english woman
Lotti Woad, who I'm sure you're rooting for, or it
could be an American like Kiara Romero or Mega Gane.
There's a couple of Spanish players in there. Or it
could be someone come from behind winner. But I was
(03:49):
here last year working an or the Augusta National Women's
Amateur when Lottie Woad won, and she was kind of,
you know, a bit not unknown. Of course she was
a great goal, but it was kind of her first
time being really thrust onto the scene and she was
a bit shy and didn't really have all that media experience.
And now she's had this year to grow and she's
(04:10):
played in all these majors and it's just, you know,
it's been talking this week about all the confidence she
has in the mental game she's gained, and she's just
super impressive as a player and as a young lady.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, she is.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Even me being British, I'd obviously heard of her name.
But then obviously, like you said, that just absolutely propelled it,
didn't it. It's a little bit of kind of stardom
quite y so as well, So explain to me again
because just for the audience. So what is the format?
So they played the last So there is a cut,
isn't it? Is it two days and then a cut
and then the third days? Yes, or guest the National.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
So they play the first two days at Champions Retreat,
which is a really hard golf course. I've played it before.
They have three nines. It's really cool. They have all
these cabins there. It's beautiful. It's about thirty minutes away
from Augusta National. And then they make a cut. It's
the top thirty players and ties. I can't remember exactly
if it's thirty two or thirty three girls that got through,
(04:59):
but everybody on Friday, the whole field has the chance
to play a practice round at Augusta National, which is
really nice, and then the top thirty and ties will
play a competitive final round on Saturday, and then a
winner will be crowned.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
That's so sick, isn't that? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
These girls get I mean, this opportunity is just it's insane.
I feel like, just from a personal development perspective, everything
about Augusta, as we said, is the very best, So
you want to put your very best foot forward, and
you learn so much being around all the other competitors,
around the members, around the whole machine that they get
to be a part of. It just exposes you to
(05:36):
a whole new world. I was talking to you know,
Amelia Durant.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Yeah, she's awesome.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
She was runner up in twenty twenty one, she played
five times. Now she works in media. She's just like
the most put together person. But we were talking about
just how, you know, playing in this event completely changed
her life and the things that it's given her, the relationships,
and so that's only going to continue on and create
a really strong tradition. So happy for all the girls
that get to participate in.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
It and for anyone. I mean you were just saying
then like the whole aura of like ah Guesta as well.
Like so I've I had expectations of the Masters when
I went last year for the first time, Like didn't
really think.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
So last year was your first time.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Yeah, first time.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
That's where you got your Pimento cheese hat.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
That's when I got my Fermento cheese hat. I don't
really get taken aback very easily.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I actually was genuinely very taken.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Aback.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I couldn't believe how what organized chaos it was, do
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, I mean it's just everyone is so like vibrating
with happiness.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
It's like a Disneyland for golfers.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, Like there's nothing out of place, like there's no litter,
like there was a guy, I'm not joking you. It
was like pushing like pine straw back in the Pine Straw,
where if it was everyone like a path. Like the bathrooms,
like the toilets are just like organized, like they just
like say this one's free, that one's free, and you
just like in and out really.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Quick, and there's an attendant in there that is like
the nicest person you've ever How are you? And genuine yeah,
you just feel so grateful.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I've only been to the Masters once as a patron
where I didn't have to work. I was lucky to
be here for some sponsor things and I had one
day to kind of just walk around and actually enjoy
that experience. I just remember that day. I kind of
started walking around on my own. I didn't know who
I was going to see, and I just kept running
into Oh my gosh, Hey, and it just you know,
(07:23):
you don't have your cell phone, so you just end
up having these great conversations and you get lost in
the moment and like, oh, let's go get another sandwich.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
By the way, full dollars?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Were you a domestic or an international domestic bear?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Four dollars? I think international is about five.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Oh too rich for my blood.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I meant savage one dollar fifty. You can't go wrong.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Can you know how many pameno cheese sandwiches did you have?
I had six and any other ones or just pimeno
and about twelve pays?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Huh? I only had the twelve paars in one day.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I was assuming that I didn't spread out.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
No, okay, so this ream's now wildlife? Can we talk
about this Augusta.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I saw a hawk today, a giant hawk, did you Yeah.
I haven't seen a squirrel yet, so I feel like
if there's a hawk, there must be prey.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Okay, all right, Well, sorry, we've had a special guest
with David Attenborough on the show.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
But the Augusta National hawk lives in its meatural habitat.
I said that there is pray.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Okay, back to what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
There's actually not that many much wildlife, and I swear,
I swear to god they do pipe music in.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
You're just going with every conspiracy.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Now, I saw one goose there and by the time
we walked back ten minutes later, it wasn't there.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
So I think it took it away. They took it away.
There's no nature. There's a century that conspiracy. And I'm
going to believe it.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
All right, will you believe whatever you want to believe?
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Bell, we have to even get KaiA passed last year and.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
He was like everyone is accounted to for Yeah, he
had to wear his purse. How old was Kai? So
is you Carly and Kai? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
He was five months old?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Oh my gosh. And how did he do?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
He did great? I changed his napone make corner.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I did it on perper in a way because I
wanted him to, like I wanted to tell them old, like, hey,
you've been naked it gus so I think that's kind
of cool.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Did you do this on a practice day or a
tournament on a Tuesday?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Okay, did you get a photo?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah? Yeah, it's got it in his room.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, that's like.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
We got a couple of weird stairs.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
But I was like, I was like, I guess you
could go to the bat.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
But yeah, no, it's just I think it's just a
really cool experience. And I know there's like everybody has
a chance to put their name in a ballot right
to get tickets.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Oh oh the lottery.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah sorry, the lottery. Yeah yeah. But she also think
is bullshit. I think, honestly, they give them to like
three people.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I don't know. I see it on Instagram a lot Gosh,
you're deep in the conspiracies.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Yeah, I am.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I do see it on Instagram and TikTok. I Actually
I got a message from a girl that was like, hey,
my husband won a lot like for one ticket or something,
and she was asking me if I could get her
a ticket, and I was like, oh, I wish I could,
but no.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
You can't get tickets. It's so hard.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah. So so I know people do get them.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
We get them from the LPGA.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Really.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Yeah, going on Tuesday? Yeah, sick, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
You're coming on Tuesday?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yeah, I'm coming Monday.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I'm so offended.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Why are you offended?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Because my friends don't tell me anything.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I literally decided this last night. I decided I literally text.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
A Smorry whatever, so okay, cool, see that the Masters
really buried the lead on that. Of course I was
going to text you, but I am very happy that
that that you get that access because of the LPGA.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
That's yeah, it's sick. So I was like, Holy, I
have to go. I just have to.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
And she's like, well, you're going away for a few weeks,
like working soon, so can you just like I don't
take the purse basically, and I.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Was like okay.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
So I suggested I would be there from Monday to Friday,
which went down like a shit sandwich.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
So, okay, I'll be there for a week.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
I was like, I've got to go like mingle and
stuff with. I don't even know who. I've just made
that up.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
But there's so many people to mingle with, the best
place on earth to.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Mingle, I know, but how many I'm going You're coming
back Tuesday? Okay, maybe Wednesday? Yeah, if I can push
it to Wednesday, I might.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, it's gonna be great. She's gonna be like, okay, fine, yeah,
let's do Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah, Okay, okay, okay, okay, shall we okay too.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
She's so easily convinced. You had to say Tuesday night,
there's a party on Tuesday night that we should go to.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
All right, fine, I won't tell until on there.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Okay, this episode comes out on Wednesday, so.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
She will tell then, but I'm still not home exactly. Oh,
poor Carly, I know, blessed. I actually don't know what
she feels that with me.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I'm such a dick anyway, Okay, great, that makes my
day that you're going to be here. So one of
the things that I am always shocked by, and I
think that you've noticed this in the past two is
just the elevation changes are on this place and how
hilly everything is. I feel okay about not having major
gym stuff set up next week because I'm gonna be
(11:48):
getting must steps in.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Yeah, do you know?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Okay, out of all the holes, you know what was
the most dramatic for me, Well, actually there's two holes
compared to on TV.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Number one does yeah so uphill it's.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Down way up, and number ten you literally cannot see
shit from the tenth two.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I agree, it's it's so insanely dramatic.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Insanely you have no idea even eighteen, to be honest, Yeah,
eighteen walking up that hill. Eighteen is so hilly it's
so uphill. Yeah, no, I'm with you in that. I
think the elevation it was. I knew it was going
to be hilly, but I didn't think it was going
to be like, I mean, eighteen is straight up hill.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Ten.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Like I said the T shirt, you cannot you literally
cannot see any of the fairway and one for me,
I was like.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Holy shit, it's like all the way up there. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
No, it's super super hilly, super undulated. But I mean
it's just pristine, isn't it. I mean there's not a
blade of grass at place.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
No. I mean we kind of mentioned this already, but
every year, I mean they do everything at one hundred
percent always, and every year they also make all these
new innovations. In this year, did they add wildlife that
was not in the Frenst release this year? Maybe next year.
They're really enhancing what you can watch on the range,
So they said all that. In addition to the live
(13:01):
viewing experience, Master's digital platforms have expanded the track feature
to include the driving range at the tournament practice area.
Beginning on Monday, April seventh, Users will have access to
live and recorded data on every single shot from each
player during their range sessions throughout the twenty twenty five Masters.
Details include distance, carry, speed, hangtime, hike, curve, and wind.
Each individual shot will deliver a three beat tracing and
a full scatter plot for every player will be available
(13:23):
from each day of their range sessions.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
For those golf nerds, they are going to be.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I don't know if I can say, like cream in
the fence, O, it's gonna be insane.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
If you enjoy data, it will be a great week
for you. The data boys will be all over it.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Okay, maybe should have said that, but you know what
I mean, it's going to be losing their mind.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I mean, it's even my mates have mentioned it, like we.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Were I went from a couple of days ago just
to we went to watch the Liverpool game and they
were like, it's going to be so sick to like
see like any shots and actually see the actual average
of like how they hit it and stuff.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
And I'm like, to be fair, like you're not wrong,
Like it's actually kind of cool. Are you going to
be into that? Kira?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
No, okay, cool, But for you that are listening that
are into that, which I'm guessing is probably not that many.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
It is available for data's great, but I just don't
think that I'm going to spend time in my day
looking up Joe Heismith's range stats.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
That's so rude.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Why not or or Coroblin's or John robs.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Me and you will be too busy mingling, And that's
why ye will be too busy mingling and having a beer.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
But either way, it's just so so beyond.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
It must cost a fortune. Can how much that costs?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
But that's the thing about that, they're always putting everything
back into the tournament, always like doing the most to
make it the best experience possibly, like there's truly no
other sporting event like like I don't care football, basketball, badminton,
like nothing, nothing exists. It's very cool. Experience is all
they care about is the patron and the fan.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
And they do a great job at that. By the
way as well.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, I'm personally excited for the merch. I've not gotten
to to get in there. But as you know, we
do love a theme, we do love a shop.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I'm with you on this. It's one of my favorite
shopping trips ever was at the Masters. And I'm getting
a fucking name this year.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Well, you're gonna have to go early.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I'm going to I'm going to go early on Tuesday.
I'm gonna get a fucking name. If I don't get
a name, I'm gonna be livered. I'm desperate to get
one of them names. What is that like fifty or
something or one hundred. There's like one hundred and it's
first come, first service, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I don't know. Yeah, you gotta be. You got to
be on top of things.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Yeah, I'm going to get one. I'm going to get one.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I'm going to bull doze my way in there.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
You can't run though you got a speedwalk.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Well, yeah, that's true. Is it really worth getting off
at five? Probably not for a name, is it?
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Anyway?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yes, the merch is amazing. What you're going to get?
Can you just give me like a little bit of
a downlow.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
There's always like a really nice sweater and it's like
something that you would wear with trousers or just a
really elevated piece of clothing that I feel it's like
a collector's item for me. So I love that. I
always get a mug.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
I think we should go shopping together. I think that'd
be cooun experience.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I think that that would be hilarious. See what you
pick out and see what I pick out? Wen't care
at the end?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Okay that sounds good.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Okay, great for research, Yes, for research reach. Okay, we'll
be right back. We've got some funny things to share
after this, so we thought we might go into some
of the funnier pop culture moments, especially from last year,
(16:37):
A couple of other random ones, and just some stuff
that we love. Do you remember seeing Bryson when he
moved the sign? Wait, I can't remember what hole that
was on?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
It was the second round last year?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Wasn't that par five thirteenth hole during a wind whip
second round. This is a golf dot Com article at
a gust national word. D Shamboo flair Deshamboo baby Shamboo flared.
His drive into the pine trees on the right right
side is a fairly common miss off the T thirteen.
Most players simply punched back out of the faraway, positioning
(17:11):
themselves for a third shot to the green. But d
Chambeau is not most players. He ended up moving a
giant sign, and it says it looked like a lumberjack
calling a fallen pine.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I was about to say he looked like a lumberjack.
He just had it over his shoulders like a fireman's lift, didn't.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
They they were probably.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
I feel like that it's just so Brison.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
So sorry.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
I mean that's a heavy ass sign.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
So yeah, I don't know how he would have gotten
it out of the ground. I feel like those things
are pretty well that's true.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I mean lifting it fair enough, but like actually getting
it out of the ground like.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I did a volunteer. He didn't get it out.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
It is a good photo, but it's very it was
very Brison.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
It's a great photo. I'm sure that we will see
another great Bryson moment this year. He might be a player.
I'd be really interested to do the data thing with
on the range. I might have to. And then speaking
of Bryson on the Range last year, there's that great
clip I think it was on Live from where VJ
saying is warming up next to Bryson on the range
and he just stops his warm up and like has
(18:18):
his hands on his driver. Just what is going on?
And Bryson is just getting after it. It's just go
full fact you're fifty.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Oh yeah, it's like a machine and it's just going boowowowow,
like that is just hitting so many Honestly, it's like
kids at the range, you know, when you get like
little kids at the range and the ball, like they
just hit the ball, then hit another one, then hit
another one, then hit another one. That's basically what he
was doing on the range. And VJ was just completely
in awe of how far he was sitting it.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Yeah. I don't know that VJ was in awe so
much as he just was like what is happening?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Maybe maybe actually he.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Was very confused. You know. There's also there's just so
much movement. There's like grunting, like there's just it's not
just having like a chill range sash. There's no interactive experience.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
And he's got his six foot high golf teas as
well that he's seeing every time. It's doing the most.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
But hey, it works, it does.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
And then we also had last year. Okay, before we
get into this, I'm a massive fan of this, by
the way, Jason Day's new style. Yeah, I'm actually a
huge fan of it.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I think he pulls off really well and I think
golf needs that kind of street whear.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah, at first, people were like that because yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Yeah, you're same.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Look when you think of, you know, the type of
person that would wear a Melbourne like this, like cool,
cutting edge streetwear type of thing, I'm not sure that
I would have appropriated those words to Jason Day. Just
not think against Jason. I just don't know that I
would have been my choice. But now that I see
him in the clothes, it makes sense, and he's fully
embraced it, like it's one of those things where you
(19:50):
can't be fifty percent. He is fully on. I mean,
he's wearing sweatpants to the form, which I love. I
think that you need somebody that is considered part of
the golf establishment to start dressing like that to change
a lot of what's accepted within golf establishment.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Right Like, I feel like Ricky did it with Puma,
right like when he first came out, I feel like
he kind of pushed the envelope a little bit. And then,
you know, we've had kind of a few players, I
mean even really like going back to Bryson, like he
had his you know, his pain stew a tribute kind
of style, which which I thought was kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
That pushes it as well. But yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I mean there's not I mean, to be honest, it's
not that many golfers that could pull off like a
lot of street where playing golf, because it's do you
know what I mean? Like, I feel like golfers are
naturally quite you know.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
What I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Stylish is not the word.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Well, it's very classic looking, isn't it? Like golf is
traditionally very classic looking. I think you said it perfectly.
I think he's really grown into the style, and I
can actually I as well have like visually, I now
get it. I'm like, oh, actually he does suit it,
whereas before You're right, it was a bit like whoa.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
And seeking of style. You know what. I'm excited to
see the wags, especially the way that they all dress
up for the par three and their white jumpsuits as
the caddies, but they all kind of have their own
ways of dressing up the suit itself, and then everyone
brings it for the fashion for the actual tournament, which
you know, I love. I've been talking to several of
(21:08):
said wags about their outfits, the custom shoes that have
been ordered, the bags, the hats. It's oh, I'm so excited.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Okay, So I'm actually so by the time this episodes out,
I'm going to do and this is me saying it,
so I commit to it. With Puma's new collection That've
actually got from really cool stuff that I think would
be really cool Master's Vibe, and I'm actually going to
do an outfit thing. Please don't fucking laugh because I'm
gonna be so awkward in it.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yes, I'm so excited.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
I'm going to be so happy with it, but I'm
going to make it funny.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
And I just thought this stuff is so cool for
like the Masters Week, so I was like, I have
to do something because I just love their clothes.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
I love that Whack When it all cast, my Korean
golf brand partner, they sent me some sick stuff. Did
you see the other day that little green scarf that
I was wearing.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Yes, very cute.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
That's from Whack. And then they also sent me some
stuff and unfortunately you can't get in America. It's the
Whack Korea collection, a couple of vests that I will
be wearing on under the umbrellas. It's amazing how the
brands go all out. I don't know if it's like
a this year thing or what, but it just seems
like everyone.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
I feel like it's getting bigger every year.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Yeah, like I think as well, like the wags are
saying on Instagram, this is my outfit for you know,
this is going to be my weak outfit. And like
comedians that are going like they did, like Heathen Macmaon
did it last year.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
And like her outfit daily, Like people just get into it.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Have you ever seen like Paige Lorenz They are tennis
wags and they have I mean, there's so much more
than just wags. Of course, they're they're creators, influencers, business
women Page has created this whole fashion line. Like they're
really impressive people, but they've started this movement of you know,
you have this thing that you do with your partner
(22:50):
and like you're constantly traveling, so they vlogged and they
create all this content around all of that, and it
feels like people in other sports golf in our world
will since we're in this world, are also doing that.
So I've noticed so much more content from that and
like as they should. Yeah, they're part of the teams,
they're supporting everything, Like this kind of this stuff does
(23:10):
not happen without a supportive partner, as you.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Know, if not one of the most valuable parts of
the team, if I'm honest.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
With you, Yeah, yeah, And like I want to know
what they're wearing. I want to know. I want to
know what they what they're doing, or how they get
from point A to point B. And yeah, but the
Masters is like they're bringing in. So we thought we
would think about some stories for the week to watch
out four maybe make some predictions. So first story that
we have is, of course, does Rory complete his career
(23:36):
Grand Slam. He's had two wins this season so far
when I interviewed him at the Houston Open, so it's
top five finish. I think he shot sixty four on
the final day. He told me in the interview that
his elbow was hurting. I don't know if that was like, uh,
it was an interesting thing to say. So I don't
know how much that's going to continue to impact him
this week or you know, at all. We'll see, But
(23:58):
does he complete the career Grand Slam this week?
Speaker 3 (24:01):
I'm always wanting Rory to win the Masters.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I know it's.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Hard not to kind of root for him.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Maybe he's I mean, I'm sure he has got a
bit of a niggle but maybe he's made that public
just to protect him.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
A little bit, because I feel like all everybody.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Talks about at the Masters is when it is Worri
going to win the Masters and do the critic Grand Slam.
I think this is the best form he's come into
the Masters ever. I think it's the most, Like he says,
it's some of the most golf that he's played, and
he's actually been playing obviously amazing.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
You know when at and T.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Pebble Beach, really difficult golf course for him, Poana Greens,
West Coast, and then he goes and wins are the Players,
which arguably is one of the hardest events to win
because it's literally you have to hit every single shot
in the bag and you can't have any weakness at all,
Like there's no kind of breathing space with that golf course.
So I would love to say, yes, I'm not quite sure.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
I just don't know. Like if he doesn't win this year,
I think it would be you know, he's done everything right,
Like he's doing everything right and everything he can do
that's into his control. Sometimes it just comes down to
somebody else just played so well, you know, it's circumstances
you can't control.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yeah, And the other thing this year is like Scott
is not quite in the form that he normally is
but after his injury, Like Xander's not quite in the
form that he is after his injury as well.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
So like he's got a couple of players that.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Are usually basically the players that he has to be
and he doesn't really have that, which is quite obviously
even more of advantage to him, like a pathway to
success at the Masters.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
So we'll see. I'll obviously be rooting for the guy.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
I think if he gets off to a good round
in the first round, I think he's got a decent chance.
That's kind of been his nemesis as well, has been
kind of the first opening round.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
So we'll see.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
I'll be rooting three rules. I'd love you to do it.
I think he deserves it.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Yeah, it would be cool, Yeah, it would be very cool.
It would be I think an iconic Masters.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Yes, he would agree.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
If he were to do it would solidify his legend
status in the game. He would be the first true
legend since Tiger.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
I think he'd be generational.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yeah, I think exactly. Like obviously Scotty's on the road
to that.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
But Rory's been off for fifty to twenty years, Nelly,
he has been at this.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. So speaking of Scottie, as
you mentioned, he hasn't been in his complete form this year.
He has yet to win in twenty twenty five. Last year,
ahead of the Master's tournament, he had won a bunch uh,
he'd won a Bayhill, he'd wanted the players. He played
really well, especially in the final round in Houston last week.
He was really making a charge of the leaderboard to
(26:24):
try and take the win from Minwu Lee. So that
kind of I don't know, he gets It's like he
gets a b in his bonnet and he just gets
after it. He's the most competitive person on this planet, truly,
I think, and not with other people, with himself. He
gets so upset with himself if he doesn't do what
he knows what he's capable of doing. Yeah, I don't know.
(26:45):
The stat that I read was he would be the
first person since Jack Nicholas to win three Master's tournaments
in four years, which is crazy. Mean, there's a reason
why Jack's the last person that did that.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
That's crazy. I don't think you can mull him out. Obviously.
It's Scotty Scheffer, isn't that.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I feel like when you come back injury, even for
the world number one, like, it just takes some game
time just to get back into your feels and where
your game is really at. You can practice as much
as you want, a high intensity, but you actually needed
to bring it into the arena. So look, I think
you're right. I think once he's got a little be
in his bonnet, he kind of wants to prove it
to himself more than anyone that he can do it.
When people are saying that, oh, he's not quite in
(27:19):
the form that he normally is, which is still crazy
because he's still playing unbelievable golf like alw he's just
not winning like he normally is.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
I wouldn't put it past him.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
I mean, I wouldn't put anything past scottis shop and
when a cups to golf.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
No, I know exactly. I think he just loves this
golf course. He's won two in the last three years.
I really would not put it past him at all.
I certainly think he's going to finish top ten.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Yeah, I would better that.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Is there anybody more off the beaten path that you
have your eye on.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Okay, So I love a little bit of like kind
of a rando winning a Master's Like I thought Danny
Wit was going to win when he won.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Really yeah, I like, what insight you have?
Speaker 3 (27:53):
I didn't. I just was like, I don't know. He's
been playing really good.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I think he'd won like a couple events on the
European Tour that year, and I was like, he's in
really good form. I'm like, I don't know, and yeah,
Tommy makes a bet on him and he was like
sixty six to one.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
My god, did you bet on him?
Speaker 3 (28:07):
He would have made not allowed to bet on golf care.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Oh that's true. Well good, I'm glad you made your
friends some money.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I mean, I I started the year I was kind
of feeling Ludwig Oberg and then he's obviously one. But
I don't, I don't know. I think i'd love Tommy
to do it. I think he's starting to play a
little bit better. He finished third last year as well.
I think he did third or fourth, So yeah, I
would love him to play well. I think i'd be
really cool for his Obviously he's never won on the
PGA tour, and I feel like he's kind of like
(28:35):
my rando would be a Tommy Fleetwood, and I'm always
pulling for Tommy. Yeah, Carlie still sings the chant regularly.
That was it the Rider Cup in Paris.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
You know that Tommy dormy dumby Fleetwood. You know I
heard that she randomly sings it was not a huge
Tommy fan.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Yeah, I should random it like if she's had a
couple Yeah, Fleetwood dormit.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Oh my god, rightings like that as well, like you
just did.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yeah, it's so America.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
It's so American.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I'm like, no, wait, wait, do it correctly? Do it
like the British people do.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Okay, me tell me it's fleet would me?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
There you go cleek Wood.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Yeah, so when Carli's had a couple of cocktails, she's.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
She's British people are so much better about that stuff.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Chance.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
All we do is you just say us A U
s A yeah, okay, we have that.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
My voice also goes about eighteen octaves lower, so you know,
she sounds like a bloke, sounds like such a man
stuff like a guy at the pub.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
No, I do I know, And I'm for.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
It here, it's giving authentic. The Americans need to step
it up with the chance.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
They say like USA here to stay And I'm like, dude,
and I like some time. I'm like, come on now,
if you're going to ship talkers, do it properly.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Yeah, but when you don't have that muscle. We don't
have that muscle. You guys are just world the ball.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
With us like soccer, like we we make so many
stupid chance.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
But you would think that the American fotball would have
the same But no, not the case. The Eagles.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Maybe you have, but the Eagles chann I'm an Eagles fan.
I think the Eagles Channe is really weird. E g
l e eigle fly Eagles.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Fly on the road too. I'm like, that's I don't know,
I feel like it could have been cooler.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
It's more of a theme song. But yeah, okay, sorry continue.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
So yeah that's what.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
So do you know what if Carlie's going to sing it,
you know, after a couple of cocktails, I think we should,
you know, you should have a little bit on Tommy Fleetwood.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
If we were allowed to bet.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
But I think he's going to be in My Little
Dark Horse I think it's Tommy and then just quickly
before we go players that are not in the Masters,
that people like Ricky's not in it a bit good
about that.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
I know Gary Woodland, I.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Don't know if he's in the Is he in the
field oft Balero?
Speaker 3 (30:39):
I think it was last week, wasn't in the cough.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, but if he wins, if the last the last
last thing that could possibly happen is Valero. Yeah, if
you're if you win and you're not already in the field,
that's but yeah, the top fifty cutoff was was last
week at Houston. Oh, Ben Griffin was he missed like
a five foot part for par that would have gotten
him in and he missed it and ended up fifty
(31:02):
one and he mel just listen to this. He had played.
It was his twelve week straight playing with no breaks.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Oh that makes me feel sick.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah. Oh, and he's out at Valero trying to win.
So now he's thirteen eighteen zerow dude, it's really that's
like so heartbreaking. Yeah, that's and he's never played in
the Masters before, He's only played a couple of majors,
so it was oh buddy, yeah, but he was so
because I saw him after he was so calm about
it and ready. Yeah, I mean, who knows behind closed stores?
(31:37):
But he just seemed so genuinely like it's okay, like
I tried really hard and I'll get there one day
and meant it.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Dude, twelve weeks in the road, that's a fucking lot
in it.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
It's horrific girls do on the LPGA, and I I
don't know how you do it. I mean, I don't know.
Maybe I did when I first. I think the max
up that is like eight or nine.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
I know, but that's still a lot, dude, to be
able to physically show up and focus twelve weeks. No,
I could not be me. I'll tell you right now.
I could not be me. I'm doing I'm doing five
weeks in a row right now, and that is absolutely
the end of my mental road for this. I mean,
(32:16):
and the fact that the Master's Tournament is the last
in the August National Mensameter or the last two weeks
of it, like those two events are you know, they'll
give anybody energy. So I'm so happy to be here, as.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
I would say that that's probably given you life.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Yeah, it's totally giving me life. When other people are
so happy to be working on something. It makes you
happy to be working on something. But twelve, no, man.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Well, thirteen really thirteen crazy?
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Okay, give me your pick before we leave.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
I'm going to have to say Rory. But I think
I'm going to be a business. I don't know I'm
gonna have to say him. I just I'm pulling for him.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
I don't I don't know. I really want him to
do it. So you're not going to say Rory, I
know you're not. Who are you going to say?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I don't want to say. I'm that you've said him.
I just feel like if he was going to win,
it would be this year. Like it seems like all
the circumstances, all the stars are aligning. But you know
what we didn't talk about. We didn't talk about any
live players except for bryceon d Shamboo.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
I know, Jamboo Boo, hey boo.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
It could be a John rob it could be a Brooks,
your body Brooks.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
I know I would love Brooks to do it as well.
I'm still a big fan of Brooks.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
But oh, I know that.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
This is really controversial and like I'm probably incorrect sayings.
I don't think they play enough. Oh, they like, I
don't know. I just feel that the PGA Tour guys
have an advantage. I know Bryson did what he did
at the US Open, like awesome, good for him, like amazing,
But I do think, like, I don't know, I think
Jacko Neeman is probably the best player on live right now.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Would you not say?
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:46):
I think he's He's probably got the best chance. Out
of the live guys. You can never rule Brooks out.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Honestly, Phil's been playing like pretty good at the Masters
recently the last few years, which is kind of.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
That would be, that.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Would be, But yeah, I know we haven'tbody spoke.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Like, I'm curious every year now that this has become
more normal, I'm just curious how they show up because
there have been Masters tournaments and other majors where they're great. Yeah,
they're really blowing it out and it's almost like they've
got a chip on their shoulders so they want to
come out and put on a good performance, and then
other majors where it's been like, oh see, we told
you right, you know you don't play enough golf or
(34:23):
whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
I think out of the lift guys, I think it's Bryson.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
I would say Bryson, Yeah, Nieman, and then I really
want to say Brooks. I'll just say the Brooks will
come Smith. I think cam Smith left that place as well.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Like the he's not been the cam Smith that we
that like won the players. But we'll see, we'll see.
I would say my pick from if I was picking
from of the Lift players, I would go with Bryson,
And since you picked Rory, I will go different and
I will pick Scottie to win. I know, very brave
choice for me. And I will pick him based on
(34:54):
the performance that he had on the Sunday at Houston,
because it just seemed like it was the Scotty of
old and it seemed like he clicked back into whatever
that gear is. He just didn't he ran out of
holes to catch up. So they start fresh though at
Augusta National.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Who's going it right then?
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Okay, we shall see. I just want everyone to win
and have a great time.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
I just want everyone who plays more that's fun.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Well, I'm so excited to see you next week. This
made my day, I know.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
I can't wait to see what we're going to pick
together at the March.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Oh, we can take some cute photos, do it. Yay,
I haven't seen you. I haven't seen you in so long.
I haven't seen you since we started this show.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Yeah, I know. Let's talk up this week, all right.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I hope everybody enjoys the Master's Tournament, and also, if
you love me, you will please watch Under the Umbrellas
on masters dot Com YouTube. It's a really cool, female forward,
lifestyle all that type of show that kind of presents
everything in a new way. So I hope everyone enjoys it.
