SPEAKER_01 0:01

It's always a thing with you. Um, we are live, so we can't fight anymore because we are live.

SPEAKER_00 0:11

We're bickering right before we go live. I'm literally yelling at you, being like your whole head is taking over the screen. Move back. She's like, I'm trying to figure this out. Just let me go live. We're like, okay, here we go.

SPEAKER_01 0:23

Welcome back from the sidelines. I'm Code Cheyenne, and you for sure are not gonna miss my brother Bauman because he's gonna be calling me out on all the things today and every day as per usual. If you're brand new to our podcast, welcome. We're so happy you're joining us. We will keep the sibling bickering to a minimal. Um, but we're here to kind of just talk.

SPEAKER_00 0:51

There's no way we're gonna keep that to a minimal, but that is literally what we do.

SPEAKER_01 0:55

Let me just do my intro. Thanks. Um, we are going to talk sports as we always do. As you as you know or may not know, I am a big, big, big sports girly. I would say my brother's a halfway sports person. He did not know who Messi played for. So that's just gonna be my highlight of the year. Um, in the same household, and how does he not know that? So, you know what we're gonna talk about today? World Cup. What we always talk about is tennis, so then he could engage. Um, and then I'll drop a little bit of other fun little things for you, a little bit of F1, a little bit of golf, a big, big golf week, um, all things masters and anwa, which he has no idea what that even means. So we're gonna talk um sports, and then he will educate me on the culture and what the cool kids are doing on IG and what people should know about, which I will be unaware of. And that's gonna be the show. So I hope you stick all the way to the end because sometimes the juicy fun bits come at the end. And you know, I'm gonna start today with you know what, go for the like and subscribe. Go for the things early.

SPEAKER_00 2:09

I'm gonna start with if anyone's watching, uh, what you have worn a you are not in sports gear today. You are in a white-collared shirt. You are giving business professional. Do you have a meeting out? Like, where are you going? What is your day looking like? Because you look like you have deals that you need to be maintained.

SPEAKER_01 2:29

Yes, Bun, who is gonna get us some of these deals? Not you, clearly. I need to be on the sideline. Why am I still in this room?

SPEAKER_00 2:39

You are literally wearing a white shirt. You're about to sign huge contracts from the looks of it, and you woke up different today. Okay, you woke up really hair is flicking.

SPEAKER_01 3:01

You know, like all my merch that you hate that I end up buying. And today I was like, I went to the closet. I'm like, okay, what's sports happening like this weekend that I can kind of like, you know, showcase or wear? And then I was like, oh, Anwa, which I'm gonna explain what that is to you. And I have no merch from Anwa because I still haven't had access to going to it, which I'm very frustrated and annoyed with. Doesn't matter. And then I was like, oh, tons of I have tons of master stuff. And then I was like, I don't get to go this year. So you know what? I just wore legit like a business outfit. I don't know who I'm doing deals with, I don't know who I'm talking to out there, but I'm ready. If you're ready, I'm ready. Call me.

SPEAKER_00 3:41

That's where I am today. Is it is it Samantha um SCF 2094 in the comment?

SPEAKER_02 3:47

Yes, where is she? Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:50

Yeah, Samantha's like, yeah, I was thinking the same thing. The white shirt is hitting differently, and you know what? It is it is a serious pot today, Samantha. Buckle up.

SPEAKER_01 3:59

Honestly, buckle up.

SPEAKER_00 4:01

Tell me what Anwa is because I I don't know what you're talking about, as usual.

SPEAKER_01 4:04

Should we start there first? Let's reverse, let's reverse it up. Did you know, which you didn't?

SPEAKER_00 4:12

Imagine if I did just once, no, like that would be crazy, but I have no idea what you're talking about. Please proceed.

SPEAKER_01 4:18

Correct. Anwa. Anwa is Augusta National Women's Amateur. So the Masters, obviously, you know the Masters. The Masters, if you don't know if you're listening, is a prestigious golf tournament that happens in April in Georgia, in Augusta. Um, and they play Augusta National, which is a very, very, very private golf course. And um, it's quite interesting because the town isn't very big and it's not like what's the nicest way of saying it? It's not full of culture or things to do or like gorgeous restaurant. No, it's like a fact, it's in the middle of nowhere, kind of.

SPEAKER_00 5:02

Like, I'm not that something, it sounds about white. That would be correct.

SPEAKER_01 5:11

Okay, just just just making sure you're you're yeah, without yeah, um, but it's not even like really about white, it's more so like you would think the world's most prestigious golf tournament is happening in the heart or epicenter of like a big city, like a city or a lot of people around. No, it's beautiful, like this place is gorgeous, and people that have a lot of wealth fly from all over the world to come to this little dinky airport um and spend tons of money on very average hotels and average like things there. But you know what? I love it because it it gives the really up in the nose kind of people grounding. That's how I look at it. It's a grounding for everyone. And this tournament the Masters is amazing because they haven't changed their food prices, so you'll get a sandwich for a dollar fifty. That's kind of like the highlight of everything. Now, to get access to it is something else. Um, but there's a lottery system, just like Wimbledon. You put your name in the lottery system. If you win, they don't gouge you. Tickets are 150. Think about Vancouver. Like, what's 150 in Vancouver? Nosebleeds. This gives you access to a prestigious golf tournament. So the merch is great, anyways. So that's masters. We'll talk about that next week on Monday, because that's the kickoff of the masters. Today we highlight Anwa, the women. So it's amateur women, so it's not women on tour. These are women that are mostly college players um or trying to maybe get on tour. So it's the younger, core, incredible athlete that gets access to this. And what happens is Wednesday, Thursday, so today and yesterday and today, um, they play actually another golf tournament. So they don't play Augusta National, they play another golf tournament. Uh, sorry, not a golf tournament, a golf course. Um, and I kind of actually slipped my mind on like what it was, so I pulled it up for everybody. Um, they play Champions Retreat Golf Club. Still in Augusta, still close by, but it's a different golf course. Wednesday and Thursday. So the top 30 women, today's the last day, the top 30 women, they get to play Augusta National, but not tomorrow, they get to play on Saturday. So what happens is, which I think is quite nice, everybody gets to play a practice round tomorrow, Friday, their off day. They get to play Augusta National. So even if you didn't make the cut, which is only 30 women, which is a very small group of people, because you know, cut is usually like 50 or like 50 to 70. Um, so 30, the top 30 amateur women only get access to playing for the final round on Saturday. It's one round Saturday. It's like this is what it is. But everybody gets to play the practice round on Friday. No TV cameras, no nothing. It's just they get to play and enjoy and just like it's like the golf mecca. It's golf mecca, and everybody wants to be there. Everybody wants to know somebody who gives them access to playing there, and it's like not a thing. So that is Augusta National, that's Anua. So it's great, great, great for these young athletes. It's great for golf, and everyone kind of just stops everything they're doing and watches. And of course, the Master's Week. It's like if you have a significant other that's into golf, like you're gonna lose them next week. And also, if you're in Vancouver, I'm hosting an event on Monday to kick off the Master's Week, as well as it's a Master's Mingle. So hit me up if you want to come join. So that bun is ANWA. Okay, it's the acronym for yes, and also Rory's um I think it's like a docuseries that you know you had a whole like fit about me watching like Melania. So Rory's come out with one on Prime and he won the Masters last year. And remember, we spoke a few episodes ago about what he's gonna serve for dinner at the Champions Dinner. Yes. Unfortunate that Tiger will not be there because they are really good friends and they really respect each other. They truly are like they also started the indoor simulator league together, um, TGL. So that's sad for Rory, his big win. He's been waiting for a long time and probably wanted to share with Tiger and have a few laughs. And just for for all the champions, I'm sure Tiger's just a big figure, right? Like he's a big energy that comes, and everybody wants a little piece of Tiger Woods, wants to watch him at the driving range, all that good stuff. Um, and on that sad note, they released some like camera footage. So you know how you always talk about Justin Timberlake's camera camera footage. So they're released some this morning of Tigers. Um, it's nothing bad. It's nothing bad. The guy was the tiger was so polite. He's just like on one knee, the cops like tapping him, just checking if he's okay, and then goes and checks the so what it was is it's a big truck that had an extended trailer on the back, and you know, when they cut grass and stuff, they have like lawnmowers and stuff and things. So, what it seems like is that the trailer was trying to either move to the side or was going slowly, and I think Tiger tried to either overtake or whatever, or the guy in front of him must have breaked, and he said he looked down on the phone and looked up and he hit it. So, on any average day, like he would not like if anyone hit that, you would not be in mainstream media and your face plastered everywhere. I would okay, I want to get your thoughts first. What do you think about we last week we spoke about mug shots? This week I want to be like with body camera footage. Like, do we need to see that? Does it need to be public?

SPEAKER_00 10:57

We don't need to see any of that. I'm just thinking right now, I've been staring at myself on the screen and looking at my beard and thinking it looks really good, it looks really well lined up. And I haven't even gotten it lined up. And I'm thinking if I were to get my mugshot taken right now, I would look great. You would look pretty. So that is what I'm truly thinking. If you need to know, um, on the mug.

SPEAKER_01 11:23

Back on track, body cam footage. Do you think your beautiful beard? Do you need to have does anybody need to have body cam footage of what's just happened to you?

SPEAKER_00 11:33

If I look great, yes. Body yaddy yaddy cam footage me. Um, put it on everywhere, put it on a t-shirt, like do the dance. But if I am tired and I'm not glowing, what's that?

SPEAKER_01 11:49

If you're not glowing, the glow is not there.

SPEAKER_00 11:52

If I have had a bit of a time and I am not serving a look, do not put that out there. Do not close the body camera, do not put any of that out there.

SPEAKER_01 12:03

So, anyways, you and your glow, let me tell you about the reality of it.

SPEAKER_00 12:08

No one needs to see any of it. We don't need to see it. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_01 12:10

It's just I just want to know. You told me about Justin Timberlake's whole situation.

SPEAKER_00 12:15

Sure.

SPEAKER_01 12:15

Why did I need to know that? What does that have to do with my daily life of the body cam footage on Justin Timberlake?

SPEAKER_00 12:23

Why do we need to know 99% of the things that are we that are that are we are being fed on the daily?

SPEAKER_01 12:31

I just feel like some things, okay. The mug shot, I like I asked the internet, like, do we does do all mugshots need to be public? And if you're on, if you're on any of the platforms live, I would love to know your thoughts on it. Do we need to have mug shots accessible? My thing is I think we need this is my two cents. I think we need to have a picture or a mugshot if someone is committing a crime, if there's a robbery, they've done a bunch of theft, if they're if we're trying to find somebody because they're a pedophile or rape or whatever it is where society needs to find this person and police need help. Sure. Their search picture everywhere. Let everybody know who they are. Let's, as a unit of humanity and humankind, go find that person.

SPEAKER_00 13:22

If we can give them a criminal, we are on search. Okay, yes, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:28

Everybody else, it's none of our business to see what they look like in a mugshot. Like, why do we need to and why it was so sad, Bun. I know that your feed is nothing to do with golf. Obviously, mine is. Every media outlet when it first happened, live breaking news, live breaking news. And of course, we have no information, so it sounds so insane. Tigers flipped his car again, and it's on the side, and he's now being arrested, and it's so like overblown and dramatic, and all of that. I just don't know if that needs to be public knowledge.

SPEAKER_00 14:02

Shine, we live in a world of clickbait. We need these things to click. Anyway, that's a whole other it's a whole thing. We know why it happens and why why it is what it is. Um, what else do you have for me?

SPEAKER_01 14:16

What I have let's do happy things. Should I share screen?

SPEAKER_00 14:20

Yes, let's I'm I'm into happy, happy chat.

SPEAKER_01 14:23

I want to actually share this really fun story.

SPEAKER_00 14:29

Um, when you were talking about what I was gonna say, will you be searching for Easter eggs this weekend? Because it is Easter weekend. I believe Jesus takes off and then he makes a comeback, doesn't he? On the Monday. Like, isn't that what happens?

SPEAKER_01 14:45

Ben, what are you asking? Am I gonna look for Easter eggs? Here's chocolate info for you that has to do with F1. How about that segue?

SPEAKER_00 14:51

Easter eggs chocolate and chocolate. Let's go.

SPEAKER_01 14:55

Okay. So I don't know if this actually showed up on your feed and briefly randomly did, and that this girl broke the whole thing down, which I love her for doing that. She's been doing supposedly F1 content for six years, she says. Oh so Kit Kat. Did you know? Kit Kat is the official sponsor, the chocolates Kit Kat is the official partner, chocolate partner of the F1. Did you know that?

SPEAKER_00 15:20

I did not know that. Love a Kit Kat.

SPEAKER_01 15:22

You love a Kit Kat. You love give him a break. He always wants a goddamn break.

SPEAKER_00 15:27

This guy I'm only interested in having a break all the time, and that makes sense as to why I love Kit Kat. It's just kind of all in there.

SPEAKER_01 15:36

My brother always wants a break. So Kit Kat is the official chocolate partner of F1. Did you know that 400,000 little F1, one of a kind uh Kit Cats were made, and that truck or those trucks are now missing.

SPEAKER_00 15:55

What?

SPEAKER_01 15:57

They have been, I guess, either robbed, stolen, whatever you want to call it. There's some type of theft happening with the official Kit Kat, the Kit Kat. Okay, when rewind.

SPEAKER_00 16:09

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:10

Kit Kat is in a is in their second year of partnership with F1. They have they have made one of a kind F1 Kit Kat cars. Formula One Kit Kat. Oh my god, no, of course not, because you'll want you, I mean you would never eat it, right? It's also it'll be all of your like fun Kit Kat. I don't know if there's different flavors. I think it's remember in Japan, they have all those different fake flavors. I think this is just the original Kit Kat shaped. You'll see it in that image, it's just coming. Bam, there it is. Oh, it's shaped like a car? It's shaped like a car, like an F car. Okay, okay. And it's gone missing. These trucks have disappeared. Over 400,000 Kit Cats have disappeared. So this girl, her strategy or her thought process is you know what, Kit Kat? Genius. I don't actually think that they're missing. You guys are claiming that they're missing to get onto everyone's feed because you're kind of getting buried by all the other big brands that are F1 partners. Like if you're Kit Kat, like where are like how are you gonna show up on people's feet? But if there is some type of a theft that's happened or trucks have been missing with all the Kit Kat, then you show up on people's feet. So she's saying it's a great marketing stunt by Kit Kat.

SPEAKER_00 17:29

Is it interesting timing that it's Easter, Easter eggs finding stuff, chocolate, chocolate gone missing, chocolate trucks get found, Kit Kat gets found? Like, come on, the marketing team knows what they're doing over there, and I love to I'd love to see it.

SPEAKER_01 17:44

I've I've we've really hoped on it. I didn't even think of all of that. She's going on another tangent about it though, but it's really great. I feel like if that's a thing, how fun if they find it on Easter Survey?

SPEAKER_00 17:56

Who loses 400,000? How many Kit Kat, did you say?

SPEAKER_01 18:00

400,000 chocolate.

SPEAKER_00 18:02

Who loses 400,000 chocolate? I mean, listen, I have a sweet tooth and I can eat a lot of chocolate, but even I can't, you know what I mean? Like, where are we hiding these? Did you know before the story that they were a sponsor? Because I certainly did not, and we like F1, so I didn't know they were of a chocolate sponsor.

SPEAKER_01 18:18

That's the whole point, exactly. But did you know Lego was a sponsor?

SPEAKER_00 18:22

I knew Lego was because they've been doing a really good job of talking about it.

SPEAKER_01 18:26

That is my whole point. Lego showed up on my feed multiple times with creating the helmets for um for Charles and Lewis. They've showed up multiple times by them doing that. Actually, the car. Remember the car that they went around the Lego?

SPEAKER_00 18:41

They literally have huge Lego cars built of Lego, and the drivers were driving in them and they were like falling apart and chipping away as they were driving it. I think was it in Miami or somewhere?

SPEAKER_01 18:52

It was Miami. But I remember that vividly. And then they have great activations at F1. Remember in Miami? They had those huge cars. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 19:01

As you get to the airport in Miami during F1, they have huge Lego uh cars there. Did you miss them last time? I saw them when I had landed.

SPEAKER_01 19:12

I saw them too. Thank you. Vegas.

SPEAKER_00 19:14

All right.

SPEAKER_01 19:15

All right. It's all over the airport. So yeah, F1 crushed it. I mean, I mean Lego crushed it, but that's so yeah, Kit Kat. If this is a thing, we're here for it. In the chat, Carl would like to know as much as you love Prague. Oh, you're talking about something you love? What were we talking about?

SPEAKER_00 19:31

Just like the slight flex of like, do I he's probably what referring to do I like do I like Lego or do I like uh Kit Kat as much as I like Prague? Yes, I do love Prague. And he was like, You like Prague? And I was like, Prague is amazing. I love Prague, but that was a flex, and our good friend Ashley called us out on all the flexing that we do. Would you like to proceed to flex, coach? What are you about to tell me?

SPEAKER_01 19:55

I'm about to flex you on some Canadian flexing. So let's do tennis. It's clay season, everybody. Did you know it's clay season? Well, welcome. It's clay season in tennis.

SPEAKER_00 20:07

It's not French open yet. Where's the clay?

SPEAKER_01 20:10

This is you know, it doesn't have to be uh red clay, there's green clay also. Thanks so much. Welcome.

SPEAKER_00 20:16

It gets me every time. I just have always thought clay had to be a clay color. I forget there's green and blue clay. Quick story. I played tennis on clay with Daryl and Charlie a couple of years ago. I'm trying to think of where. I thought I was playing on a hard court because it was blue, but I couldn't figure out why I was slipping and sliding. I took a full insane tumble and like almost ripped the pants open because I didn't understand it.

SPEAKER_02 20:44

What?

SPEAKER_00 20:45

Yeah, you don't know this?

SPEAKER_01 20:47

No. But what happens to your brain? But continue.

SPEAKER_00 20:52

Couchshine. We were in Ottawa, I think. That's when the boys used to live there. We're playing tennis, they got this broom out and they were like cleaning it up. And I thought this is weird. It's a hardcourt, but it's just messy. There's like, you know, trees and and and little um flowers falling. But the texture felt different, but not that different. And long and the short of it is we're warming up. I'm sliding, and I foot gets stuck. Do I literally do a full tumble? I even remember wearing my cute Kenzo sweater for warm-up. It's covered in shit. And I was pissed, and it took me a while after. I think it was till when we finished, I realized we were playing on clay.

SPEAKER_01 21:35

Oh my god, your brain is too much. So let me tell you about clay season and your brain cells. So clay, they're at Charleston right now in South Carolina. The women are, and um, Jesse Pagula won last year, so she's back to you know claim her little title. And I want to bring up Canadians, Oves.

SPEAKER_00 21:55

Um super quick, super quick. Do you know I was looking on tennischannel.com and she lost. The first set, and then she came back to win it in Charleston. Like she almost lost to like somebody that like you wouldn't even you've probably never heard of.

SPEAKER_01 22:12

So in 2019, she won the US Open. She beat Serena Williams, and Serena was pregnant at that time. I was actually there, not to be make it a flex thing. Oh, yeah. I wasn't in the bowl, but I was in. They had like grounds passes that you could buy, and I really wanted to see the match. I didn't realize you could just like buy like a$25 grounds pass and watch them the break screen right outside the stadium so you could hear everything. And then I don't want to say, but I will say, I mean, I just walked in. I walked in and watched the whole ceremony, like the whole thing. Like I didn't go in during the match because I was with a friend. But like um after the last set, I think I just like walked in and watched her get like watched the whole thing up, pictures and everything. Anyways, so um someone's just said Margus says hi in the chat. Well, hey Margus. Um, so Bianca won and beat Serena, and Serena was her idol, everyone's idol, and we didn't know the time, but she was pregnant, and that would have been really cool for the first time ever someone being pregnant and winning one of the majors. So Bianca wins 2019, and then kind of like fizz a lot of injuries happen, in and out of injuries. And so she had an ankle sprain at Montreal, the women's um the Canadian Open. And she was out for like a few months, and then she decided that she was gonna drop a tier. So WTA, right? They have their 1000s, 250, all that. She's like, you know, I had to put my ego on the side. I had to drop a tier and play ITF tournaments and play essentially with like the girls that are super gritty and trying to make a name for themselves to come up. She played like 13 matches in 16 days, and she just needed reps in her body. Just reps, get those reps in to understand like the feel. And also, what happens is when you start winning, all of you start having the confidence in yourself, like, oh, I can do this, like I'm great. So, over here, if you are watching um the live, it says that Bianca earned the first tour level win in eight months. So that was at um in Charleston, the one that you just saw the score for. So clearly she was losing when she came up. And then it says Bianca's last tour level win came last July in Montreal, um, where she suffered an ankle injury. So I know how she feels, everyone.

SPEAKER_00 24:39

I am guys, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:41

I am boot-free at the moment, but still the ankle hurts a lot. Um, she's has ankle injury, she sidelined her for two months, just like me. And when she came back, she made the decision to drop a level and play the ITF events. And she says it's one of the best decisions she's made. But think about your ego, think about your everything in your head. Like, I won the US Open. I beat Serena Williams at the peak of her career. She was ranked fourth. To do that, to have a couple injuries and say, actually, I'm gonna go down a whole tier and play like the young girlies trying to come up, and everyone's gonna show like she's a brand new team. She said a brand new coach, a brand new team. She almost needed like clear all delete, refresh, and let's start at this again if we want to like make big improvements.

SPEAKER_00 25:35

Coach, you know, Sir Um Osaka just did this like maybe two years ago, right? She was losing first round at all the majors and even like the a thousand ATPs. So she actually her old coach dropped her. She dropped, I don't think you realize this. She dropped to the 500 level, won a bunch of those, and then got back in. Yeah, that's kind of the move. Also, I don't think you've ever watched the tennis movie with Zendaya called Challengers.

SPEAKER_01 26:02

I have in theaters.

SPEAKER_00 26:04

You did? Did we go together?

SPEAKER_01 26:06

I feel like we went together. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00 26:09

Um, but remember, she the character also does that, like drops down. I remember that in the movie, like drops down to kind of come back up. It's real life. This is real life. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 26:19

It's real life, but it I think it takes a um a certain part in your in your head and in your life to really have that moment of realization. Like, who am I? What am I trying to prove to who? Like, if I really want this, let's just do what I need to do to get to that level that I need to get to. So I I I appreciate her coming out and seeing it. I think it also helps a lot of young girls, just kids in general, who are trying to make it to realize you don't always stay at the top. You sometimes have to come down, regroup, restart, refresh, and work your way back up. So it doesn't any sport. So I I love that she's talking about it. On the note of tennis, did you hear about this? Or did this show up in your feed?

SPEAKER_00 27:00

No, what does it say for the people who are listening?

SPEAKER_01 27:03

I will explain. There's an image of a young black girl on the left-hand side. She had taken this picture at the US Open, I'm assuming last year. She's a bit, maybe she's an influencer, maybe like a I don't know if she's a tennis star. Seems like an influencer. Oh, it says influencers. It says influence. Okay, so that's her on the left. Okay. The girl on the right, that's actually someone's real face. The girl on the right is also an influencer, and she decided to take her head, just her head, and put it in the original girl's body and frame and everything.

SPEAKER_00 27:38

No, that is unhanded.

SPEAKER_01 27:42

And this chick has over a million followers.

SPEAKER_00 27:45

So does the other person just think they're never gonna see it? Like this is never. I guess they're hoping for that.

SPEAKER_01 27:52

It showed up twice on my feed. So this is the this is actually the girl.

SPEAKER_02 27:56

Girl, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:57

On the well now on the right. And she's like, I mean, I haven't this is she's like, this has never happened to me in my life. Like, what like what does this even mean? Like, she doesn't need a following, she's a million people following her, so she's just gonna casually take my image, my body, my everything, and get AI to just put her face on.

SPEAKER_00 28:16

Question. The person who cop who took her body and everything, did she the one that has a million plus followers?

SPEAKER_01 28:25

Lauren Blakey. We're calling people loud these days.

SPEAKER_00 28:28

So it's you have a million followers, and you're going to literally take somebody else's Tatiana.

SPEAKER_01 28:36

Poor Tatiana. Tatiana looks great, let me tell you.

SPEAKER_00 28:38

Tatiana has how many followers?

SPEAKER_01 28:40

Tatiana has 354,000 followers.

SPEAKER_00 28:44

Okay, so where's Tatiana's image from the tennis? Where did it go? Oh, it's still loading. Okay. Uh, right.

SPEAKER_01 28:50

So that's Tatiana looks great.

SPEAKER_00 28:52

Tatiana's great.

SPEAKER_01 28:53

She's also an influencer crushing the game. And then, sorry, we have to go back to the saved items, go here, we go back. And so Lauren's crazy.

SPEAKER_00 29:07

Yeah, what business does Lauren have? Literally, photo. This is insanity. This is crazy.

SPEAKER_01 29:13

I knew that you would um appreciate this, so we're just gonna quickly go Lauren. Because I always looked her 1.6 million followers per Lauren Blakey.

SPEAKER_00 29:27

You're insane.

SPEAKER_01 29:28

Lauren girl wide. I don't she know what she's like a commentator. She's on like great, she's doing a lot of like things, but that was just crazy. I don't know if it's someone in her team that just thought that she would just anyways, Lauren. That's not cool. Not cool.

SPEAKER_00 29:44

No, no, no, no, no. Question how much has Lauren already ripped off and not been caught from the smaller content creators and photoshopped herself. And is this the first time she's getting caught? Because she very well could be ripping content from other people and they don't realize it. Lauren, girl, go figure it out. Like seriously. Anyways, you've got me you got me uh worked up for truly no reason.

SPEAKER_01 30:13

Yeah, I know that I says, you know what, and not it's not nice, and you know how hard we work on like doing content, so that just feels just that's just upsetting. I kind of want to say two things to you. One, I feel like I want to go to the Charleston Open next year. It just seems cute and fun. And people I've been to Charleston, South Carolina. People there are so people in South Carolina and North Carolina are so nice, and in Georgia, like Southern hospitality at a whole different level. Um, and it just seems like cute, fun. I feel like this would be uh you'd have a lot of access to the girls and the players, similar to Indian Weld without all the Indian Wells hype.

SPEAKER_00 30:51

I think this is how Indian Wells are you think, do you think, and this is us just classic flexing now that I think of it, we flex all the time without realizing it. Do you think our good friend Jessica, i.e. Jesse Pagula, would recognize us if we got close enough to her and waved. Would she know?

SPEAKER_01 31:13

I think so.

SPEAKER_00 31:14

Would she recognize us from the gondola at the Miami Open?

SPEAKER_01 31:18

Necessarily recognize us, but we would be like, hey, if you said, hey, it was so fun being in the gondola with you in the Miami Open, I think she'd remember. We asked her very we asked her very specific questions, and she said, You I mean she said we were fun and like we were friends with her. She said, My friends.

SPEAKER_00 31:33

We are fun. Also, Jesse's adorable, and I still want to figure out how to get on that private jet. Do you think we could go to Charleston with her from Miami to Charleston? Correct.

SPEAKER_01 31:43

That will be an incorrect for you. So that's where I am with you. You make your way there. Um, I would like to now try. I are oh uh and that and the men are playing in Houston, so um, a lot of them are playing there. My not dream, because that's a bit much.

SPEAKER_02 32:01

It could be a dream.

SPEAKER_01 32:06

I wanna go next year, along with Charleston.

SPEAKER_02 32:11

Where do you want to go?

SPEAKER_01 32:12

I love to go to the Rolex Monte Carlo Masters to watch some clay.

SPEAKER_00 32:18

I think that would be a really fun one.

SPEAKER_01 32:21

I think I think I know that it's just like beautiful, the scenery's great. Who doesn't love being in Europe? Um, there's anything to do with Monte Carlo.

SPEAKER_00 32:32

Who doesn't want to be wearing a Rolex while watching the Monte Carlo?

SPEAKER_01 32:36

I don't mind wearing a Rolex. Monte Carlo, as we know, we've been there's nothing much there.

SPEAKER_00 32:43

We can't stop flexing. We need to chill on the flex.

SPEAKER_01 32:46

We've been, you're just like there's nothing to do in Monte Carlo. You know this besides the stupid casino.

SPEAKER_00 32:51

My god, there's truly nothing to do. It is so overrated, it's just the name. Like it is.

SPEAKER_01 32:59

But I would like to put the tennis, so that's on my wish list for next year.

unknown 33:03

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 33:03

Just want to out there, put it in the universe. We're now gonna transition to you not knowing that Messi played for Argentina, but I do need to educate you a little bit because the World Cup is coming to Vancouver and you can't look like a completely dodo head.

SPEAKER_00 33:19

I just want to tell you that on my gay pickleball league, one of the guys literally came up to me two days ago and was like, just so you know Messi plays for Argentina. Like he saw the real it it landed there. It Michael saw it, and he's like, just so you know, like people are shocked. I just have never bothered paying attention to it. I just never gave it much. I know.

SPEAKER_01 33:42

So we're gonna just we're gonna educate you and others because I one of our cousins also had no idea. So, you know what? I'm not gonna judge people, I'm just gonna educate you. So the World Cup, I need to let you know. Italy, Italy, remember we spoke last uh last, I was gonna say last class on Monday. Italy won four of these, and they are not making it this year. And you know who they lost to Bosnia and Hez Hezgovina.

SPEAKER_00 34:13

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 34:16

The R is silent. Hez, Hezgovina.

SPEAKER_00 34:20

Girl, you didn't you didn't you didn't do your prep. You didn't figure out what I was doing.

SPEAKER_01 34:23

You know what? No, I did. I even asked how do you say it? Yeah, I asked. I asked Boz, I asked them how to pronounce it. Hezgovina, has Govina. Anyways, I wanted to educate all of us where it was, so I've pulled up the map. Yes, so it's right beside Croatia. So Croatia's also made um the World Cup. Look how close it is to Italy, which I did not know. So Italy lost, Bosnia made it.

SPEAKER_00 34:53

Yeah, pardon. Uh, just across the water, right there.

SPEAKER_01 34:56

Yeah, across the sea, the Adriatic Sea, to be exact, across the lake, across the lake. Yeah, and Bosnia is actually huge, so that's ignorant of me. We've been obviously Croatia is beautiful, and it I didn't realize Croatia took all the beautiful coastline and kind of left.

SPEAKER_00 35:14

I was gonna say they they legit took the full coastline, like they're rude about it too.

SPEAKER_01 35:20

Look at that you don't have to be a good thing. They took the whole coastline.

SPEAKER_00 35:24

They said we're not sharing, we want the full thing, we're taking it, and they took a beautiful part of it too.

SPEAKER_01 35:31

So Bosnia's in and look, Serbia, that's where obviously Djokovic is from. Yeah, so it's just again, just a little education piece. Hez Hezgovina, Hezgovina, Bosnia and Hezegovina, so they made it, they made it, they will be playing in our group stages. So, how does the World Cup work? You have group stages, you play in your group stage, you win your group stage, you the bracket gets built out, and you go. The first two actually in the group stage.

SPEAKER_00 36:05

Italy lost the initial qualifying.

SPEAKER_01 36:07

Italy lost to even make it into the World Cup group stage. Italy's not even in the World Cup. My our Italian friends, wow, they must have been mamma mia screaming at the TV. So Canada, Bosnia, Qatar, Switzerland. That's in our group stage. I feel like we have a very good chance to make it out of the group stage into the into the proper bracket. Um, Mexico. So group A is Mexico, South Africa, Korea, and Czech. And then it's us. Group B, Brazil, Morocco. That's gonna be a good one. Haiti, Scotland. I think it's the first time ever that Haiti's made it. I think it's been forever, I think, since Scotland has made it. So this is gonna be fun. Remember, Morocco was really good. They were like the underdogs. Do you remember that? That they came out of nowhere and sort of winning stuff because they had all the French players.

SPEAKER_00 37:01

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 37:02

They had that had because their roots were from Morocco, so they decided they were gonna play for the Moroccan team. So they had incredible Premier League level, a league league level players playing, and obviously Brazil is Brazil, so that's group C. I feel like US has a chance, Paraguay, Australia, and Turkey. Germany, I feel like will win this group E phase, Netherlands, Japan, Sweden, Tunisia. Netherlands is also looking great, Belgium is looking great, Egypt, Iran, New Zealand, Spain. This young lad. I don't know if you remember him. Lad. Um the last time, France also has a very easy, I would consider an easy brack, uh, easy league. There you go. There is Messi with Argentina, front and center group J. Messi has Algeria, Austria, and Jordan. So I feel like that's pretty easy for them. Ronaldo, another Ronaldo, not the Brazilian Ronaldo. Ronaldo, the one who didn't know from Portugal. He's playing in group K. Also, I feel like pretty easy. Colombia might give him a hard time, but the rest I feel like are pretty easy for them. And England. England's got Croatia. Croatia is good, good, good, good, good.

SPEAKER_02 38:15

They are good.

SPEAKER_01 38:16

They said they I never sleep on Croatia and they have Ghana and Panama. But England, I mean, you gotta step up. They just never step up. So I feel bad for them.

SPEAKER_00 38:31

That's pretty, that's pretty crazy, actually.

SPEAKER_01 38:32

That's crazy. Talk to me. My mind was blown, and that sucks. But you know what? Good for Bosnia. Let's let's go. Let's have a new country and let's give them their first ever chance to prove themselves, to prove us all wrong. So that's where I am. I would like to transition into something fun and different, which you have saved.

SPEAKER_00 38:49

Yes. Okay, but quick side note uh coach Cheyenne Margs said in the comments that they have been a they are new to golf and they've been following you on YouTube. So thanks for everything. That is so nice.

SPEAKER_01 39:03

Thanks for watching my YouTube videos. I'm getting back into it because now my ankle is functioning. So, my friends on YouTube who watch me with the golf stuff, more content coming soon for you.

SPEAKER_00 39:14

Keep an eye out. Um, but in the meantime, our our little Benito, our little bad bunny bonito. Okay, he's got 30 songs is a lot at a billion streams each. That is many songs. Yes, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 39:32

30 billion each?

SPEAKER_00 39:34

30, 30 billion, 30 billion, coach, our bad boy Benito.

SPEAKER_01 39:40

I don't even know if those numbers make sense to people. 30 billion. He has a million each with 30 songs. 30 billion.

SPEAKER_00 39:49

Coach, I have some trivia now for you.

SPEAKER_01 39:52

Did you go next in the slide or not?

SPEAKER_00 39:55

Uh well, I don't even know. What does it say? No, I haven't I haven't looked through it.

SPEAKER_01 40:00

Okay, what's my trivia?

SPEAKER_00 40:02

You can you can you can X out of that? X nay on the on the billion day. I was curious, who do you think uh got to 30 billion streams before him? He's not the first one.

SPEAKER_01 40:18

Sorry, 30 billions and one million with 30 songs, like same concept, or just 30 billion off of one song.

SPEAKER_00 40:24

Who do you think has beat him? So Bad Bunny is number two to get to 30 billion.

SPEAKER_02 40:30

Not 30.

SPEAKER_00 40:31

So it it let me try this again. 30 songs at a billion each. Who do you think has beat him with 30, like over 30 songs at a billion? That's a great guess. It's the weekend.

SPEAKER_01 40:44

He actually beat the more it's the most unassuming person in the world and Canadian, so we're here for it. But like the weekend, when's the last time you listened to the weekend song?

SPEAKER_00 40:55

I literally did a spin-themed class to the weekend just last month. He i it's easy listening.

SPEAKER_01 41:01

If you don't realize he probably is banger after banger, just easy, like consumer songs.

SPEAKER_00 41:07

So many he has the most listened to song on Spotify. Uh Blinding Lights is like got almost six billion streams. Six billion, the one song alone does. Okay. So there's a fun fact for you. But who do you think is the most streamed artist on Spotify? Like the most listened to?

SPEAKER_01 41:28

You actually do this, like you actually go in and like see all these things.

SPEAKER_00 41:33

I just did a quick Google today.

SPEAKER_01 41:35

Oh, okay. Um, who has the most streamed artists? Like the most listened who? Sorry, one more time question.

SPEAKER_00 41:44

Yeah, just like who's who's list who's been streamed the most? The most streamed artist on Spotify as of April 2026. Like the most listened to the stuff.

SPEAKER_01 41:52

I'm gonna give you three guesses.

SPEAKER_00 41:54

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 41:56

Okay, so Bad Bunny could be one because a span massive Spanish demographic. Who's he is number three?

SPEAKER_00 42:03

He's number three, yes.

SPEAKER_01 42:05

Okay, somebody else would be in. Is it a is it a girl? Is it a woman?

SPEAKER_00 42:10

Well, you you guessed her. You already did guess her.

SPEAKER_01 42:12

So Taylor.

SPEAKER_00 42:13

So Taylor's above him, yeah. Yeah, and number two, but who's number one?

SPEAKER_01 42:18

Well, is it the weekend?

SPEAKER_00 42:19

Because you just said had the most streams, which is such a good guess, but no, it's his little don't tell me.

SPEAKER_01 42:26

Let me then actually guess. The most streamed, are they dead or alive?

SPEAKER_00 42:31

They're alive, okay.

SPEAKER_01 42:33

Because they're just thinking like Britney or Michael. Um, okay, they're alive most streamed. It's gotta be some like teeny bopper people like listening to. It's like that girl who's from English that everyone likes Billy Eilish or something.

SPEAKER_00 42:47

I'm just gonna guide you in some direction.

SPEAKER_01 42:49

Also Canadian, either Drake or Justin.

SPEAKER_00 42:53

Yeah, good guesses, actually. Justin's quite high up. It's Drake.

SPEAKER_01 42:56

I was gonna say Drake, but I didn't really know if people actually that many people would listen to him.

SPEAKER_00 43:02

He is he's leading the charge still. He's the most listened to artist on in Spotify history. He's surpassed 130 billion total streams.

SPEAKER_01 43:14

What's Kendra have? Because the whole battle always happens.

SPEAKER_00 43:17

Taylor has 120 billion bad bunnies at a hundred.

SPEAKER_01 43:22

This is billion with a B.

SPEAKER_00 43:25

Billion with a B. That's right. Oh, quick question How much money does the artist get from every billion streams?

SPEAKER_01 43:34

Oh, every billion?

SPEAKER_00 43:36

Yeah, how much money? Okay, so I had read if uh a little a few years ago, Snoop Dogg say I had a billion, yeah, I had a billion streams and I only got 40k for it. And I I took his word for it. So I Googled it, and they actually get close to 800 to a million dollars. For every billion. So it's not as bad as the 40k number that Snoop threw out a few years ago. Maybe that was a thing. That is bad.

SPEAKER_01 44:10

A billion to a million? Just think about that.

SPEAKER_00 44:14

So the the numbers are it's three to five million, but after taxes and everything, they basically walk away with like close to a million dollars. But yeah. Who's getting to a billion?

SPEAKER_01 44:26

A billion is hard.

SPEAKER_00 44:29

It's only the few, it's the one percent. It's the one percent. So that's my did you know that's some fun facts for you. Um what else?

SPEAKER_01 44:37

Do you know people are trying to go to the moon again? Like humans like us.

SPEAKER_00 44:41

Honestly, leave the moon alone.

SPEAKER_01 44:44

No, but they took off, they're already there. I'm not halfway there, maybe. Um, it happened yesterday, and all my friends and people that I just in Florida, um, they actually got to see it from their like from their house. They got to see a lot of them posted it going. It's pretty cool. If you're in Orlando, especially, um, you it was very clear for them to see it. And um, yep. It's speaking of the moon.

SPEAKER_00 45:13

Remember the movie that we were talking about with Carl called Project Hail Mary, where you thought it was a potato or a rock and you weren't sure what it was. Turns out it's a little alien. Um, it is a movie that is adapted from a book um called Project Hail Mary, and I knew nothing about it, and I went into it blind, and I highly recommend it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is such a sweet story. It's greatly acted, and yeah, it turns out that little potato rock thing is a little alien. Uh, but and it's it's very sweet. And the movie's making a lot of money. It's doing very, very well at the box offices.

SPEAKER_01 45:58

That's good. Good for them. Ryan, Ryan Renault, no, Ryan Goslin. Which one is that?

SPEAKER_00 46:02

Ryan Gosling, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 46:04

Okay, so quick a random one I forgot. This is Michelle Wee. I feel like I asked you last time if you knew who she was.

SPEAKER_00 46:11

I love going from Ryan Gosling to a quick pivot to Michelle Wee holding.

SPEAKER_01 46:16

Michelle Wee. Michelle Wee um was like the young Tiger Woods, right? Like she was that girl coming super young, winning everything, and then fizzled out a bit and then kept winning like, you know, just a classic golf story. It's just so hard to be on top the whole time. And so because she won um in 2014, the US US Open, she has one more year of eligibility. So, what happens is when you win these tournaments, they either give you four, eight, or ten years of you get like exemption to come in to play the tournament. So she has um won except for the masters, which they can play every year, which is why we always say VJ Singh there, which I love always seeing VJ there. And so she um has one more year of um exemption to play. She now has two kids. She's actually married to um a guy whose family's quite into basketball. You know, the logo of the NBA. So that gentleman's last name is West, and she's married to his son.

SPEAKER_00 47:22

Wow, yeah. Um did who designed that logo, though, like the West family or something?

SPEAKER_01 47:29

No, I think that it's him. I think it's supposed to be like a depiction of him. And you know how Michael Jordan, you know how Jordan has Jordan.

SPEAKER_00 47:37

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 47:39

So, anyways, so um I'm excited to see Michelle back, and she's been grinding, she's been like playing, she's been you can tell she's she's out and doing a lot of practicing out with it. So it's kind of fun as a mom of two now. That's that's him. As a mom of two, she's also a massive advocate for women's sports, and she's just like, I like this one, we believe. That's really cute.

SPEAKER_02 48:01

Cute.

SPEAKER_01 48:02

Um, and she's like drinking out of the cup when she won. So yeah, I'm excited to see her back on the golf topic, super random, but Uber's obviously like, let's take full advantage, which it's like interesting, but not. It's like people that take an Uber to a golf course obviously have to order a bigger sized car or an Excel or whatever it is. But they're like, you know what? Let's streamline this and make it easier for the golfers. So, what did they do? They've created Uber Golf. So up to four people and four golf bags will be able to fit in the trunk of the driver. So it just makes it easy for boys' trips, but usually also girls' trips that we have for golf or anyone's trips that want to play golf. Um, they have access to Uber Golf, which is a new highlight for all the golfers out there. If you don't, you know, because that the 19th hole, I don't know if you know or don't know. I think you know this one. The 19th hole is where you go and you drink and you eat. It's the clubhouse. So people sometimes really, you know, just want to live their best life, or they're drinking throughout the day on the golf course. You, my friend, deserve an Uber golf, and you need to take yourself home in the Uber.

SPEAKER_00 49:14

Great idea. Also, the 19th hole does not exist. Is that correct?

SPEAKER_01 49:19

Correct, because it's where you drink and eat. Because it's only 18 holes in golf. That's right.

SPEAKER_00 49:24

I just want to tell our new golf listeners that there's only 18 holes. The 19th hole, quote unquote, is where you go drink and eat. It's what's called the 19th hole.

SPEAKER_01 49:33

So you know who just joined? One one of our favorites, Justin from South Carolina. Justin came to greet with us. Justin, the VIP, Samantha and Justin, VIPs that have clocked in and watching this live.

SPEAKER_00 49:48

Justin is literally the perfect candidate for the 19th hole. Justin is the 19th hole. He is the perfect candidate.

SPEAKER_01 49:55

He's survived for the 19th hole. Hey, Justin.

SPEAKER_00 49:59

Yeah. It should just be called. I was gonna say something, but I was like, I'm not gonna say it. No, no, I was just gonna say it should just be called Justin's hole. But that's Justin's hole, but that doesn't work. That that doesn't work, everyone.

SPEAKER_01 50:11

To the golf theme. Um, Justin just said hey guys, just sticking to the golf team theme and maybe like wrapping this all together in a little bow because Monday will be a big master's pod. But I can drop some nuggets on people. So phrases that commentators have to say that um when you're maybe doing on the golf channel and doing other golf um tournaments, you might have a bigger variety of words you can use, but the masters is so specific. So, did you know? What do you think? I'm not even gonna click on it because I I know some of them. What do you think at the masters they call fans, like fans that are watching the sport?

SPEAKER_00 50:54

The crowd.

SPEAKER_01 50:56

Oh, that's a good guess, actually. Patrons. You're not fans, you're patrons. Sure. Um, you know, the sand, like I'm gonna hit out of the sand. They're like, you can't call it the sand, it's obviously called the bunker. So they're very, very specific on the word choice. So I'm gonna go through some of them. Fans, patrons.

SPEAKER_02 51:16

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 51:16

Um, the rough, it's called the second cut. So the really big grass, they call it the second cut. They don't want to call it rough because you know it's like elevated.

SPEAKER_00 51:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 51:29

The sand trap is called the bunker, which I just said. The back nine, they call the second nine.

SPEAKER_02 51:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 51:37

Um, the driving range is called the tournament practice area.

SPEAKER_00 51:42

Oh my god, that is so long.

SPEAKER_01 51:44

And then they have chipping and putting and everything around there. It's it's in instead of the country club or golf course, it's just called Augusta National Golf Club. Like the whole thing has to be said. It's not a country club, it's a golf course, it's Augusta National Golf Club. Okay, and it's two sums, which I know that's like a perfect segue for you to crack a joke right now, which I will stop you on. It's called a pairing. So in golf, you have like two some, threesome, and fours. Obviously, that's a full round, and so it's just called a pairing. Um, groups are called groupings.

SPEAKER_00 52:21

You said you were gonna stop for me to crack a joke, and you literally power through. You didn't even want to want to hear that I prefer a threesome over a two-some. So you just powered through because you did not want to know that.

SPEAKER_01 52:38

The fourth round is called the final round. The final round is called the fourth round, and that's our boy Tigra, and then sponsors. It says sponsors run golf, except your broadcast drop the branding completely. They don't even have like sponsors anywhere.

SPEAKER_02 52:55

It's just not a thing.

SPEAKER_01 52:56

Like, no, it's so clean there, it's so clean and so like put together. So I hope everybody joins us next week because I will kind of give um what I would like to say, like not taboos, but maybe things that maybe the masters could tweak a little bit. And some things that they should what to look out for. Like when you're there and if you're a fan, I've done so many, I've done like five to ten videos on the masters, what time to go, how what to wear, what merch to buy, um, what to eat when you're there, what to take with you, all where to park. I've done tons of videos on the details of that. You've done it all. I've done it all. If I haven't, let me know what I haven't. But I think that one of the things I'd like to do is do it on a live. So if people are joining us, they can kind of hear. Um, and I'll have some like I'll have some visuals for for the peeps. Here's one of the visuals, one of the many mugs that can I let me zoom in.

SPEAKER_00 53:58

My mug has nothing to do with anything, but like, look how cool my mug is.

SPEAKER_01 54:03

Oh, you blurred it, you it's blurring out. Um there looks nice, it's actually beautiful.

SPEAKER_00 54:09

It's a pretty cool mug.

SPEAKER_01 54:11

Is it a coffee or just water?

SPEAKER_00 54:13

I'm doing water out of here. I did already did a coffee, but like, look how cool the mug is. It's actually gorgeous. I know.

SPEAKER_01 54:20

But honestly, who has a cooler mug? Show yours. I mean, come on, look at mine too. Mine's a badass mug. Mine's got gold for crying out loud, and the detail the most popular logo in sports for crying out loud.

SPEAKER_00 54:38

I will say this. When I'm over at yours and you've got the master's mugs, there's something about that goblet. It just holds a good amount of you know fluid in there, whatever that may be. And it's like it feels nice, and I quite like I quite like the yellow one. The yellow is really nice.

SPEAKER_01 54:56

Yeah, I'll bring the yellow one, and they have even like a little bit bigger of a goblet, it's more narrow. I'll, you know, I'll have the mugs displayed here on Monday for the people, the different hats. Some of the merch I wouldn't buy. Like nobody would ever say that to you. Listen, people never talk bad about the masters because I don't know. I feel like I don't know, they're just scared. Yeah, but there is one or two things that I would love for them to do a little bit of a better job. Um, and of course, I don't need to go to the top.

SPEAKER_00 55:29

Overall, if it's only a couple of things you wouldn't buy, that's incredible based on how much stuff you do buy, have bought, and how much stuff they have. If you go to most tournaments, you we like I don't know, 10%. If it's really well done, maybe 30%. Over here, you like 95% of the things. Like, that's incredible that they've done.

SPEAKER_01 55:48

That is actually a really good point. But I just feel like people, you know, you sometimes you just get blacklisted if you like speak ill even for like one second about the masters. And I'm like, I just like to be honest.

SPEAKER_00 55:59

Like, there's no way you're gonna ever like 100% of anything, including the merch. That's just how that goes. And so it's it, I would say, out of any tournament, you've bought by far the most merch there, and it's it's really good, and it feels right, like it's it's so fair. The hats are priced so well. I have these hats from years ago, I wear them all the time. Like, it's great.

SPEAKER_01 56:26

The price point in the merch shop for the general stuff, like, not if you're going to like a really specific, like you know, their polos are gonna be a couple hundred and stuff. That's that's fine. But like hats and little chotchy things like mugs, and I'll go through some of the stuff. Their price point is actually so well. Remember, we had to buy a no, we had to buy, but remember the$90 Mercedes hat that we bought in Miami, 90 USD, and the master's hats are 30 or something close to that. Like, come on, exactly.

SPEAKER_00 56:59

Yeah, oh my god, are you done yelling at a note? In your business casual, in your business outfit today, you came, you yelled, you were authority authoritative, you were stern, you meant business, and there is no kidding around on this pod. This is a very serious pod.

SPEAKER_01 57:26

All right. What are you looking forward to for the weekend?

SPEAKER_00 57:29

I'm looking forward to the long weekend. I think it'll be nice. Hopefully, I'm gonna find some of those Kit Kat chocolate bars that have been lost, the 400,000 or however many. Um, would love a Kit Kat, would love a break. I am what's that?

SPEAKER_01 57:45

You always want to break.

SPEAKER_00 57:46

I always want a break. I love a break. Uh I'm hoping that the weather is gonna feel like a bit of spring. Oh, it's really cherry blossom season here, and they are fully thriving. I need to do a bit of a neighborhood walk to see the streets where they have blossom because there's different kinds of cherry blossoms. They blossom at different times depending on the kind. Um, and fun fact for people who don't know, I think and I've heard Vancouver has a more impressive cherry blossom season than Japan does. Like we just have way, no, it's true. They we have way more options all over than they do. They have it kind of in certain period uh uh areas, like it's a bit more um condensed. Ours are everywhere. We take them for granted. It's crazy, and more than ever, the people are out there taking all the pics with them, rightfully so. They're stunning.

SPEAKER_01 58:38

It's but do you always feel like the pictures don't do it justice? I've taken every time every time photos of the cherry blossoms, and it's just like I just it's just your eyes and the way. Um, I also want to tell you that we didn't even touch on because like classic us this weekend is actually the NCAA Final Four basketball. So that's happening for it says men's and women's. And next week we know it's the Masters, um, and also no F1, right? Because of the war. So the next F1 race is Miami and May.

SPEAKER_00 59:12

Oh, where would it have been in in the Middle East at this point? It would have been like in Dubai or somewhere.

SPEAKER_01 59:17

The two middle the two Middle East ones.

SPEAKER_00 59:18

Okay, right.

SPEAKER_01 59:19

Um Marx has just chimed in and said Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Oh, maybe that's where they have beautiful cherry blossoms as well. Okay, that's a good one. That's a hot tip for people to go if you're in Brooklyn. Um, so a lot of amazing, amazing sports happening in week two, which is starting next week. So for me, what am I looking forward to for the weekend? Um, I'm actually gonna be doing a lot of work because we have that event on Monday, the Masters Mingle that I'm hosting with you in downtown Vancouver indoor simulator space. So I'm really excited for that. So I'll get prepared and ready for doing that. And then um, I think I like to watch a little bit of the Charleston open, see some like women's tennis. Um, and then if I'm on Saturday, I will be keeping a very close eye to the women playing the 30 women playing Anwa, which you now know, and they'll be playing Augusta National Golf Course. So I will keep a very close eye on those sports, along with probably just working. And also Monday, unfortunately, you don't have a day off.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:28

No, you've got me working on the pod followed by this event. So truly not a day off. No, yeah, but I hope that you all meant that the working conditions are there to some melt over here. Okay, so yeah, send help. Okay, this has been fun.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:47

So if all of you, whoever is celebrating, whoever celebrates Easter, happy Easter. Have a great, safe, beautiful weekend. Hopefully, you get to spend time with your family, friends, and loved ones. And we can't see you, can't wait to see you back on Monday. Hopefully, you'll be in bed tuning in to all things from the sidelines. Thank you so much for listening or watching, and we'll see you on Monday. And don't forget to like and subscribe. Ciao, ciao.
