Happy Monday, you beautiful people. Happy Easter Monday. Happy Easter Monday, you beautiful people. I hope you've had a fabulous Easter with your friends, family, or just chilling if that's what you'd want to do.
SPEAKER_01And are continuing to have a long weekend because for many people it's a long weekend. It's Monday. We're working, but it's a holiday.
SPEAKER_00I know, but like, is it really for people?
SPEAKER_01It is for many government workers, not in the states probably, but for many government employees, for many people, it's a long weekend and people take it off. It is when Jesus makes a comeback. Monday is when he resurrects, I'm pretty sure. He takes off Friday, good Friday. He's like, This is a good Friday. I gotta go. And then he is chilling for the weekend. And then he's like, just kidding, I want more. I'm coming back. So he makes a comeback.
SPEAKER_00Okay, anyways, I haven't even done the intro and he's talking about Jesus.
SPEAKER_01I just wanted to, Jesus, I just wanted to tell you about Jesus.
SPEAKER_00Okay, and then welcome back from the sidelines with Coach Cheyenne and my brother Bauman, who's on a random tangent. He's back. And um, anyways, I hope you guys have had a wonderful weekend. Today is all things masters. Can you see? Can you see the masters? But I can't wait to show you. We had to take the background off to just show you the amount of merch I've piled in this corner. Because today I want to talk. Um, for those that might be attending or for in the future, hope to attend the masters. I wanted to tell you all the no before you go. The merch you should buy, the merch you should not buy. I hope they don't X me. Um, also, how early to get there? What's up with the chairs? Are we sharing chairs? Are we buying chairs? What you should wear when you're going there? I'll tell you.
SPEAKER_01You can buy chairs.
SPEAKER_00Correct. You can buy chairs. So I will explain all of that to you in a second. I also, if you are brand new to our uh podcast, welcome. And uh last on Thursday, I explained to my brother what Anwa was. And now is hot quiz time. What does anwa stand for?
SPEAKER_01I was gonna say fun fact the whole point of this podcast is I don't know anything. And she brings me on to get my reaction.
SPEAKER_00No, to educate you too.
SPEAKER_01Sure, that too. Anwa.
SPEAKER_00Anwa.
SPEAKER_01Annual.
SPEAKER_00No, but remember it's A-N-A-L.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so where do where do they play? No, where do they play? Augusta A-N. Augusta National W Women's A. What group Association.
SPEAKER_00No, what kind of group of women play? Is it professionals or amateurs?
SPEAKER_01So again, Anwa is Augusta National Women's Amateur.
SPEAKER_00Bam! He wasn't listening, but he was listening. So that happened because I made a whole reel he has the merch. He's ready. Um that took place on Saturday. Uh, the the one round that I'd explained to you guys last time, which is where uh they actually get to play Augusta National on Saturday. So who won?
SPEAKER_01Why are you yelling?
SPEAKER_00I'm just excited. Who won? How would I do it? I literally don't even know what the tournament is.
SPEAKER_01How would I know who won?
SPEAKER_00Maria Jose Marin from Columbia, 19 years old. She won. That's incredible. She goes to the University of Arkansas and she's a junior. So I'm just like so excited for her and her family.
SPEAKER_01It's crazy. You could just be in high school or in college, but you could be in high school. Correct. Yeah, there's some. And you could just win a tournament and win how much money did she win? Do we know? Do I need to look it up?
SPEAKER_00You need to look it up. I don't think they win money because amateurs are not allowed to win money in golf. Only pros are, but I feel like that's gonna change. I have seen a few things because when we when I had gone when I went to college, you didn't have NIL, which is what um the players now in college make money. When I went to school, you weren't allowed to make money. So Yeah, you couldn't.
SPEAKER_01There wasn't ways of doing it.
SPEAKER_00No, like you you if you made money, you had to be a pro. Like you were out of it was illegal, like it was illegal to make money.
SPEAKER_01You're right. I just checked. And they don't receive prize money, but it gains massive career boosting versions.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, of course. It's huge. It's like you're winning a really big tournament. But yeah, so there was actually, I think, a 15-year-old or 14-year-old Canadian girl who also was so the Canadians did pretty well um in this as well. Anyways, I want to bring that because we'd done a whole big thing about it last week on Anwa, Augusta National Women's Amateur. So Maria Jose Marin, congratulations. It's a massive, massive accomplishment. Um, you know what the Jen's ears are doing?
SPEAKER_01What are they doing?
SPEAKER_00I mean, this is how men's kids are.
SPEAKER_01Is this how they're clapping these days?
SPEAKER_00I swear, I was on a call. No, that no, so off topic. Off topic, no wait.
SPEAKER_01Someone clapped on a call like this for you?
SPEAKER_00Stop it. Let me explain the story. I was on a call, and um we I was saying something about, you know, women's golf, whatever, like made da-da-da. And I'm not gonna say it was a girl guy, but one of the other the gen uh Gen Zier on the call with her CEO. I just saw in the background just doing this, and just give me a head nod. And I thought it was incredible. It's like I'm taking it. I I know you are. You're gonna run with this. I was giving Yeah, no, but you gotta do one hand. Okay, so we will talk masters. I wanna give a quick sports update. Do you want to quickly do a tennis update for everybody?
SPEAKER_01Sure. Uh, Houston took place, uh tournament in Houston, and our boy Tommy Paul won the turkey.
SPEAKER_00I'm excited about that.
SPEAKER_01Uh, I didn't realize until I Googled that he, because I didn't see it, that he saved three championship points.
SPEAKER_00I didn't see it either, so that's really cool.
SPEAKER_01Amazing.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Um score, yeah. You want to put it up? Oh, we are such, we say this every time.
SPEAKER_00We're no only you say.
SPEAKER_01I only said it's we're a visual pod. Everyone, we love a visual moment. There's a picture. Look at Tommy looking young and fresh. He beat Bucharga. Anyway, he lost a second size 6'3. Baruchika. Done. And in the last set in the tie break, he was down, I think, 5'3 or something. So yeah, he was down 5'3 in the third set. Yeah, he well, he he had three Baruchika had three championship points at one point and he got them. And this is what Beruchka looks like. And there was he looks pissed. And in the women's side, um Charleston, our Gal pal, good friend of the pods, good friend of ours, uh, just an all-around Jessica. Star can wait to hang with Can't wait to hang with her again. Jessica Bagula wins Charleston for the second time. I don't know if you're 6'2, 6'2. Yeah, she had a good match. How do you say that last name? Star Steva. Staro, Staro? Staro Divisvitiva. Anyway, listen, our last name is also a nightmare. Dubseva sounds better.
SPEAKER_00Staro Dubseva.
SPEAKER_01Yes. And so guess what? She won her second Charleston. Charleston? Charleston. Charleston, yeah. I keep wanting to say Charleston. So it's a blow, um, like a blown glass trophy. So it's glass it's glass, it's beautiful. Um, and Pagula said that her last trophy that she won. Did it break? It like fell off, and she watched it happen in slow-mo in her room where it like fell off the table and landed in the suitcase, but the top is chipped off. It's chipped off. So she's happy to have a new one to kind of like place beside it. She goes, it's not bad, but she's like, it almost completely smashed into pieces, and she's shocked that it did not. So gotta be very careful. How do you take that back? How do you take that back? You gotta like bubble wrap it. It's stained glass.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I mean, she has in her carry on, probably.
SPEAKER_01She's flying private. She's for sure flying private. What are you doing? Well, she's got her own jet, it's fine. So that is what I have on the tennis update.
SPEAKER_00Yep. And what I'm really excited about is Monaco should be it's clay season, everybody. If you did not know in tennis, it's clay season. Coaching is ready. It's already happened because they're both played in clay. That's right. But we're now headed to Europe clay season. So I am here for all the Europe clay season. What's happening here? Monty. Monty Courtney. That is next. There's Cinner doing just this is like fun, obviously. Little uh rallies that they have going on. So all everyone that was playing over here in the States. Yeah, well, everyone that's not playing in the States will now head over to Europe and now clay season the diehard.
SPEAKER_01Are you saying it's time for a European summer? It's always time for a European summer. We love a European summer.
SPEAKER_00Speaking about um a European summer, but mostly April, um, for our diehard fans who love to see us bicker twice a week, uh I'll be headed to Europe in a couple of weeks. So I will be in a different time zone. I think maybe one of the podcasts I'll have to bump up like an hour earlier, but he will know about it in advance. But you can just also listen on your favorite podcast when it goes live. So that's tennis updates. We love a good We love a good tennis update. Um, any other quick oh, I wanted to give you guys a quick update. Um, for all my soccer fans out there, football, champions league. We're back restarting the Champions League. The top eight, their matches will now start this week, which I'm very, very excited about. Um, obviously, yep. I hope that now I'm kind of hoping that Arsenal and PSG move forward because I'll be in Europe, London, and Paris the time where hopefully they make it to the next round. So if I can catch a Champions League match in either one of those cities, extra.
SPEAKER_01Big, big, big, big snaps for you.
SPEAKER_00That'll be incredible. That'll be fun. So that was my update for you all on um a quick soccer update, as you would say. Arsenal, of course, could not pull off an FA Cup. They lost to Southampton in the quarters, maybe, or the semis to Southampton and the FA Cup. So remember, I told you that Arsenal had a chance to win four like cups.
SPEAKER_01Yes, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Well, we've already botched two of the four. So now our only hopes are Premier League, which we are on track for, and our and Champions League. So, I mean, it's gone from four to two very fast.
SPEAKER_01Possibly, okay.
SPEAKER_00So the the team needs to regroup, kind of get that umph back into them. Um, so yeah, that's also happening all simultaneously. Before I make this a very long master's pod.
SPEAKER_01Oh my god. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Do you want to quickly share the other news that you have? A little spicy stuff that I see down here.
SPEAKER_01Well, what is on my spicy agenda? I see a little K. Oh, Kanye. Listen, I don't want to give it much. I just think it's interesting, you know, how we're all canceling people, and we everyone knows Kanye said some pretty crazy things for the last while there. But he also then proceeded to come out with a new album last week. It did very well on the streaming platform.
SPEAKER_00You were saying some crazy numbers 350 million.
SPEAKER_01No, no, he did 50 million in a day, like streams on the album. And then he also proceeded to perform at SoFi Stadium two sold-out shows, 70,000 people.
SPEAKER_0080,000, I read. Or it's a property. This is about 80,000 people, sounds like is what exactly.
SPEAKER_01And yeah, it was the have you seen pictures of the stage?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I'm trying to pull that up for everybody.
SPEAKER_01All right, it's like an earth-looking thing. No, no, no. No. Yeah, yeah. Go keep going. Lauren Hill.
SPEAKER_00Lauren Hill?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Of course, Lauren Hill popped over.
SPEAKER_00Okay, so are we Is he cancelled or is he not canceled?
SPEAKER_01Well, clearly, not if 140,000 people in two days showed up um to watch him perform.
SPEAKER_00But what I saw this morning was that Pepsi and another brand. Here we go. Pepsi drops wireless festival sponsorship after Ye was booked as the headliner.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Um, and then this morning I saw another company also pulled out, uh, I think an alcohol company had pulled out what is the case.
SPEAKER_01Okay, sure, sure. But so here's my question.
SPEAKER_00Someone else is just gonna swoop in and do it. Again, a lot of companies, um they stand when it's like, yeah, you're you know, you're being racist and you're doing all these horrible things. And then when all of a sudden it kind of like fizzles a bit, there's enough time that people have just like let pass, and now they're like, right, so we're just gonna quickly make money off of you too, because you have just proved to us that you were canceled, but you weren't really canceled.
SPEAKER_01Because if 140,000 people are you're canceled for some, but there's still this much.
SPEAKER_00A massive population is kind of happy to close that eye or not look at that side and look at you in a different way. Yeah, keep the yeah, there's more than enough people willing to do that and spend their dollars where if a massive con if a massive festival like Wireless is now like happy to make him the headliner, they just know they're gonna make so much money off of him that sure Pepsi's gone, but they'll find somebody else that will provide like anyway.
SPEAKER_01I'm just shocked that it was that sold out. He made basically it was like 18 million in sales per concert. Um tickets per day. Yep. Tickets up top were you know 125 to 150. But then on the next show, because of the demand and the surge, the tickets went even higher.
SPEAKER_00Like I read somewhere that it said that when he said that he was, and I think he did it like overnight, didn't he? Like he gave everybody like a week or something to show up to his concert. Um, I read somewhere that it said that a million people were trying to buy tickets to his concert, and then he did a second day.
SPEAKER_01Right. That makes sense.
SPEAKER_00A million people, of course, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Anyways, let's leave that there.
SPEAKER_00So that's interesting. Um speaking about canceling, I know we'd spoken about like Tiger Woods and the stuff that he's going through, and I brought it up that at that time as well. If people are going through their own mental health journey in the public eye, and yes, they're doing inappropriate things, um, are they allowed to get second chances? I think that's a good thing.
SPEAKER_01I think it just depends on how crazy you've been.
SPEAKER_00But if you have mental health, you you clearly don't have the control over your mind to be seeing the thing about it.
SPEAKER_01But you can also get medication and get help and figure it out. You can't say the things he said and do the things. Shy, he I don't I don't want to go back and say what he's gonna say, yeah. But like it was insane. You you can't you can't do that. That's a hard all right.
SPEAKER_00What other hot topic do you have? I see oh, we went to this, we went to go on a fun light topic. We went to go and see Mario. Oh my gosh, galaxy.
SPEAKER_01Grab that, grab what little Mario.
SPEAKER_00Um, so we went to go. I don't really watch movies and theaters too much. I usually fall asleep through everything. So this is from Japan. I got this cute little, I guess you put credit cards or changes.
SPEAKER_01You put your transit stuff back in the case. I usually did, yeah.
SPEAKER_00I put my Suika card in here, and it's just the cutest thing. Anyways, we went to go see Mario number two, second Mario Galaxy. What did you think?
SPEAKER_01I loved it. I loved it, it was so fun. I loved how much of the game they portrayed in this movie versus uh well, they just say, yeah, they it's it feels gamified, but I I mean it's just very it's it's cute, it's perfect.
SPEAKER_00I think I think it's appropriate for all ages.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah, they make it for really for adults, like they make it.
SPEAKER_00I know it's for it's it's mostly very nostalgic, I think, for the millennials. Like for us, because we grew up on N64 and Mario and playing it, the old Mario 2.
SPEAKER_01We don't even know who Rosalia is. Like, we don't even know all these characters, which people still continue to play. And yeah, we know Peach, we know the classics, but we don't know Rosalie. Yoshi was in this one, which was fun. I don't think Yoshi was in the first one. Um, anyway.
SPEAKER_00It was great. It was fun. If you have a chance, obviously wait for it to come on whatever streaming platform. But it was fun to see. It's fun to see.
SPEAKER_01It's a fun one to watch in the theater.
SPEAKER_00In the theater. It was light, fun, and in a time like whatever's going on in the universe right now. It's definitely a fun one just to like escape and just be your childhood self struggle.
SPEAKER_01Speaking of Galaxy, here's a segue. Um, didn't this wasn't there a space launch? Yes. And a lot of Googling is when I typed in because a friend of mine was talking to me about how do they poo in space.
SPEAKER_00Oh my god, Miss Bay Nas Baram J.
SPEAKER_01Welcome to the live. Yeah, welcome to the pod, uh, baby bay.
SPEAKER_00And baby bay.
SPEAKER_01And being honest, do you know how people poo in space?
SPEAKER_00Um I actually don't.
SPEAKER_01I'm here to tell you, okay? Um, astronauts use because I had to go because when you type in space when in Google, when you literally type in how do astronauts, the autofill goes poop in space.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. And the answer is astronauts use specialized vacuum toilets that rely on airflow instead of water to manage waste in zero gravity. They secure themselves to a seat with straps, right? Because you can't be floating around. And the toilet suction pulls fecal matter into a storage container. The soil waste is then vacuum sealed and often disposed of by burning up upon atmospheric re-entry. It's burnt up.
SPEAKER_00What do you mean?
SPEAKER_01It's sucked. It goes in a bag or it goes through it through a suction system.
SPEAKER_00It isn't, they don't throw it out into space.
SPEAKER_01I think our I think the astronauts shit is literally flying. And it might just land on the past. It is burning up upon when it's like re-entering. So there's a lot of shit in space, is what I'm learning.
SPEAKER_00Correct. Look at the big images. Pretty cool.
SPEAKER_01How regular would you be in space on space food?
SPEAKER_00What is space food?
SPEAKER_01It's like in packaging, usually. Oh, right, but do you know what it is?
SPEAKER_00You just make it up. That's it's a look at how beautiful that photo is. Do you um how do you know it's packaging? What do they actually get to eat for food there?
SPEAKER_01We've been I've been to in Houston, I've been to NASA, yeah, and it's all packaged food.
SPEAKER_00Oh. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01What are you talking about?
SPEAKER_00Kind of like they're in the military. Yeah. No, packaged food, but then they open it and there's a way of making it hot.
SPEAKER_01No, it's it's packaged. It's literally like they're eating out of packages.
SPEAKER_00I'm gonna find out.
SPEAKER_01They don't have a microwave in the house.
SPEAKER_00I'm not talking about microwave. There's a way sometimes when you open some of these things, they naturally become hot, and there's this technology out there, bun. You don't know. Anyways, these images are absolutely big.
SPEAKER_01And they are eating packaged food. They're not, yeah. Anyway, that's what's happening up in space. Uh, what is happening down on earth? Uh oh, hi, Sean Brew. No, Sean Bru. Oh, that's Sean. Hi, Sean. I thought it was Sean. Hey, Sean.
SPEAKER_00Miami. Miami papi. There he is.
SPEAKER_01Um, so yeah, Sean Brew just saying that there's a lot of shit floating around in space. If you uh, I don't know if you caught that or not. Um Coach Shy.
SPEAKER_00Just FYI because I know I'm right. They're eating shrimp cocktail, chicken, curry, and vegetables.
SPEAKER_01No, they're not.
SPEAKER_00But specially packaged for microgravity. What do you mean? Most food is f oh like free. Freeze dried, re-rehydrated and heat sealed in and heat sealed in pouches to prevent crumbs. Anyways, they definitely tortillas are popular. Water is injected into the pouches, pastas, soups, eating. It becomes warm. I know they have this new technology where the food becomes warm. So you should just always trust me when I'm telling you these things.
SPEAKER_01Last week you told me someone was inst a woman was installed in the church. Uh and now this week you're telling me that they are eating tortillas in space. You know what? I'm out.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, you don't know.
SPEAKER_01I don't know anything. Uh do you know Coachella is next week? Do you even know?
SPEAKER_00I did not know that.
SPEAKER_01Do you know who's headlining Coachella?
SPEAKER_00No.
SPEAKER_01Canada's very own Justin Bieber. No, but he's got stuff. So like he's tried to do this before and then not shown up or not really gone through. So I I if I were Coachella, I'm pretty sure they probably have backup plans.
SPEAKER_00What do you mean he didn't show up last time?
SPEAKER_01Well, he's done it. Well, yeah, he's not fully the most reliable fella. Uh, but there's also Sabrina Carpenter and Carol G, who we a while. Cool. Um, so yeah, that's happening next weekend and the weekend after. But yeah, Justin is the headliner.
SPEAKER_00I also just need to let you know I'm back on the space bandwagon.
SPEAKER_01Shrimp cocktails.
SPEAKER_00No, no, yeah, correct. Coffee, tea, and juice are in uh in powdered forms, re um hydrated in pouches and consumed with a straw. These people, they're fine up there. Salt and pepper. Are provided in liquid form um to prevent from floating particular particles because we don't want floating particles. Um foods like nuts, cookies, and granola bars require no prep. Heat processed foods, packages, and pouch. Literally says fish curries to stay fresh.
SPEAKER_01They're having curry up in space? Correct.
SPEAKER_00The astronauts are well fishing.
SPEAKER_01Are these brown astronauts?
SPEAKER_00Maybe. But you know what? Who doesn't love a curry? You don't have to be brown to love a curry. All of England loves a curry. Hello. Um, okay, we are off topic and we are back.
SPEAKER_01Okay, so astronauts, that's how they put in space.
SPEAKER_00And they also get to eat just fine.
SPEAKER_01That's right. Coachella. Um, also over the weekend, I don't know if I showed you any photos, but I was um grabbing a coffee with a friend, and the Back to the Future car was right outside the coffee shop. And so I had to Google because I'm like, how many of these are there? And there are 150 plus replica cars. Of the really? Yeah, we've never watched the-you haven't watched the movie, have you? No, I've never watched it. But I literally have photos of the car that was outside the coffee shop over the weekend. It was very cool. And obviously, there's tons of people lined up taking photos of it.
SPEAKER_00Um what why are they so obsessed with this car?
SPEAKER_01Because it's a pretty cool car. I think it takes you back to the future. I don't know. We should really watch it. I remember very own Michael J. Fox. Yeah. Not just Canada's own. Vancouver's very own MJF is in the movie. No, Shy, that was literally the car, like identical. Yeah, if I show you photos on my phone.
SPEAKER_00But if you think about it back in the day when we were kids and the doors, like these Tesla doors, I guess, or butterfly doors, or whatever you call them, back in the day would be the coolest thing in the world.
SPEAKER_01And you've got like this thing, and like you've got all the yeah. So it's like even if you click on that picture with the guy inside, right? I feel like maybe people have got this kind of car and even recreated it.
SPEAKER_00What are you talking about? Which picture?
SPEAKER_01Like the man that's in the front garage. He's like in the front, you know. It's like, yeah. So it's very much.
SPEAKER_00That's fun.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00But we I the only thing I know about back to the future is when we were younger, we went on the ride. It's a universal.
unknownProbably.
SPEAKER_00Back to the future.
SPEAKER_01I don't remember it, but yeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh, yeah, we do. Remember, it was so jerky.
SPEAKER_01That makes sense.
SPEAKER_00Like, if you like whiplash a bit.
SPEAKER_01That does make sense. Yes, we did do that. Um, yeah, so that's that's mine. Those are those are those are hot takes.
SPEAKER_00Those are hot takes.
SPEAKER_01Are you going to just take us into full?
SPEAKER_00I'm gonna take you into master's mode, but before I do that, I can't let me bring my master's mug. I just quickly wanted to double check from all my saved items for you. Oh, here we go. This is the Pagula. Oh, Lego. This is her trophy.
SPEAKER_01It's glass.
SPEAKER_00I mean, it's beautiful. Look at her hair, too. Go Pugula.
SPEAKER_01You're looking good. She's looking great. She had her little dog last time, too, I think, when she won.
SPEAKER_00That's great.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Change of very cute.
SPEAKER_01Cutties. The Lego commercial. Has everyone seen this Lego commercial? What is the budget? The here, the budget breakdown. Speaking of, it's literally right here. Oh, right here. Also, do we think these numbers are real?
SPEAKER_00Well, we're just gonna put an asterisk because nobody really knows. But 7.2 million dollars to make one commercial. They did it did break the internet because it was incredible if you have not seen the commercial. But Cristiano Ronaldo Messi, and I wanted to ask you, but it do you know?
SPEAKER_01I recognized his name is Mbappe.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I recognized him. Do you know who he plays for? It was France, was it not? I d I don't know the name of the.
SPEAKER_00You don't know him? No. Crazy. Do you know who he plays for?
SPEAKER_01No. France.
SPEAKER_00No, he's not. The other one plays for France.
SPEAKER_01Oh, he is Brazil. Thank God. Oh, I literally.
SPEAKER_00The only options were that, but yes.
SPEAKER_01I don't know. I just said that. Wait. Okay. I learned Messi's Argentina and Ronaldo's Portugal. I'm killing this whole thing. I am no.
SPEAKER_00You know what?
SPEAKER_01Snaps for me. Crazy. Jen's ears. My brother doesn't know. The commercial is very cool. Lego.
SPEAKER_00I don't think this number is correct. You think that Vinny Jr. is getting$300,000.
SPEAKER_01No, those things. This is the thing with the internet. You could just make everything up. You could literally make up the numbers. So it's like, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Renault, essentially, if you are listening, Ronaldo, it says, made$3.4 million. Messi made$2.00, let's just say$6 million. And then Bebe made um$800,000. And Vinny Jr. made$300,000. There's no way those both of those guys are.
SPEAKER_01If I were doing this and I wanted them all to be on the commercial, they'd all be getting the same number number. That's how you do that. So it feels fair. Because how does one feel? Oh my God. Scroll like click on.
SPEAKER_00I just want to show them if they haven't seen it because obviously it had saved.
SPEAKER_01You want to show them the commercial?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, really quick. If I can. If I could find it. Yeah, I thought I had it saved for the people.
SPEAKER_01You may have just liked it. Because I think it popped up for me because you liked it.
SPEAKER_00Oh, really?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Go back up. Higher. Oh my God. The Chris Jenner story, that's so freaking good too.
SPEAKER_00Which one?
SPEAKER_01Right there. Okay.
SPEAKER_00No, no, no, no. Don't sidetrack. Let's show them. Okay, so if you have not seen um the Lego commercial, you need to go and show up. Just hopefully shows up in your feed now that we've spoken about it. Number two, they made a behind the scenes version of the Lego commercial, which I was, I love that even more than the actual commercial because you got to see behind the scenes. And you guys, it was AI generated. I was actually insane. Devastated. I was so devastated that I'm like, there is lit, there's are you sending it to me?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I've I've popped in our save folder. In the save folder. Oh, it's right in there. Okay, great, cool.
SPEAKER_00Here's the commercial as I'm talking. This is the first one.
SPEAKER_01But does the audio work with it?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, but like that's okay. This is the actual commercial. So Ronaldo, you have this is Vinny Jr. Who this is Ronaldo for Vinny Jr. for Brazil. This is obviously France Mbpe. And then they're spinning the table. They have the last piece of Lego, and they're like, who's gonna win it? And of course, it dropped messy in the whole thing. And now, I mean Lego absolutely crushed it. So they have a little miniature version of themselves, and that's supposed to go on top of the World Cup, and they keep spinning the table. Um, and it's just really well done. It's really, really, really well done. Anyways, you guys need to see that. I want to try and see. Did you can you find the one that is the the BTS? So you would just type in like BTS Lego, maybe.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. I mean, that is crazy.
SPEAKER_00Okay, maybe that one, click that that it's fully fake. It's and the only reason why I was a no.
SPEAKER_01Now there's like so many different versions of it.
SPEAKER_00It's that one. Oh no, keep going. No, it's not that one. Um the only reason why I thought that it could be real.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it's real. Yeah, it is. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Send this to me. The only no, the only reason why I thought it could be potentially a little bit fake. This sounds really bad, but Messi's nose is a bit off in this commercial. And that was the only reason why I was like, wait, he looks a bit strange. Like profile Messi looked a bit strange. And so this is this is the A, you guys, this is an AI version.
SPEAKER_01If you're watching, it's fully yeah, they make it seem like there's a whole behind the scenes thing, but it's not oh no, this is not a good one because oh, right.
SPEAKER_00The butt the Oh, that's there's I guess different versions of it now. The the original one that I had seen from the from the one of the main guys who's actually on this commercial who made this, he had done an incredible job of the BTS. Um, but it was AI, and it just threw me for an absolute spiral. So then obviously, what happened to the rest of the stuff? Everybody else, they went into this AI tennis mode. So this is Alcaraz Center. I haven't seen this one actually. This is for the French Open.
SPEAKER_01And again, I was an idiot. What I thought this was a thing. Uh, because I was like, right, okay. They also Lego is now launching a bunch of them. So until someone's like, oh, it's fully digital. But then you, if you pay attention, it's because they replace the outfit, it's the same, it's the face, like this is Ronaldo. Oh so it's the same face.
SPEAKER_00Someone said I recreated this concept using AI, swapping football legends for tennis stars like Carlos, Yannick, Zurev, and it says even fees in it and Djokovic, but I don't see oh, there he is. Yeah, so it's like bringing intensity flair to the whole thing, creative experience. So we won't so do you think now they won't actually need to have the actual players come to any of these commercials and they'll pay them like a um a fraction, like a fee for using their likeness, but they don't ever have to bring all of them together to bring them in the same room and spend all these crazy dollars. That's gonna be the the new the new way of doing commercials.
SPEAKER_01I think you need to get to um the Chris Jenner story super quickly. Saved. Go. Um, essentially, what's going on is Chris Jenner is now a full symbol for manifesting wealth. Um, and just like full abundance in China. They are they they have photoshopped or AI'd her face onto everything, and they've put it on their phones, on their computers, on their desktops. It's everywhere, and it's really making me giggle. So we need to find Chris Jenner faces. I need to actually start manifesting Chris Jenner wealth and CEO level status as well in success.
SPEAKER_00But here's my question is a drama come with the wealth? Because I don't want that.
SPEAKER_01I know I think we're all just I think everyone in China is manifesting just the good things that come with Chris Jenner. The big big deals, the money, the the status, the the the all of it. And so I do love this book. I mean these photos are so good. And you know what? I think even Chris Jenner's commented on some of them, going, like, keep going, sweetie. Like, of course, she's gonna play into it knowing that her face is being plastered with possibly a billion people and all over social. Like, this is her dream come true. I just love that Chris Jenner is uh having a full thing. So maybe we photoshop. I need I need to get some Chris Jenner photos. Oh my god, click on that one right next to it. We talked about the story. If you're on Thursday. We talked about the story on Thursday at the tennis tournament. Which one was it? Miami Open? Yes. Yeah. One of the content creators noticed that a bigger content creator literally photoshopped her face onto her image. Her image. So then this is her image. This is her image. So then this guy.
SPEAKER_00Oh my god. Yeah, continue. So they already botched that.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and then so then this guy is a comedian, I think, or he's like popular online. He just as a joke took his face on the city.
SPEAKER_00Miami open memories.
SPEAKER_01It just popped his face on there.
SPEAKER_00That's actually super.
SPEAKER_01Which is hilarious. Do you want to close that anyway? It's just so funny. Okay, now you can go into golf.
SPEAKER_00I just wanted to quickly tell you this is um Maria, Jose Mar.
SPEAKER_01Look how the 19-year-old.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, look how cool. Oh, she's so from Colombia. Look how great the Azaleas look.
SPEAKER_01Beautiful.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Augusta National is absolutely thriving and looking so gorgeous. So this is where it's tiny. Yeah, I'm sure golfers, I mean, golf, you don't have to be huge tiny.
SPEAKER_01I mean, fair, you're but you're quite tiny and you'd be swinging out swinging the boys.
SPEAKER_00Absolutely. That's what we do these days.
SPEAKER_01Okay, speaking of golf and the masters, get ready for the merch, everyone. Coach Chan loves nothing more than merch.
SPEAKER_00I love nothing more than merch, especially masters.
SPEAKER_01Big fans of Masters merch.
SPEAKER_00We we spoke about so from now until the end of the show.
SPEAKER_01I thought if you go so from now until the end of time, we will talk about merch. Shy, you've got a bed full of merch. You need to really get crack a lack in here.
SPEAKER_00Before we start, I would just like to let everybody know.
SPEAKER_01I'll grab the merch. You tell me.
SPEAKER_00Okay. So if you have the privilege and the honor of going to the masters, to Augusta to watch, there are a few things you have to know before you go. Like they're a must. What are some of the things? You have to wear extremely comfortable shoes. The reason why this year, unfortunately, I will not be able to go is because if you don't know, I have fractured my ankle. I'm out of a boot. I am She's in rehab. I'm in rehab, but the ankle hurts so much just doing even like a lap around the neighborhood that I had to make a big girl decision and say, what is my ego on the side? The masters will always be there. My ankle for the rest of time for me is gonna be really important if I want to go just around the world and play and just to be able to move. Yeah, walking is a privilege. I need everyone to know that. Ever since I fractured my ankle, the basic things of life I that we have taken for granted forever. Just walking. Wow, I swear it's an absolute privilege. So I'm taking everything, just being thankful for everything. So I put had to put all of it on the side and say, this year is not the year that I'm gonna go. But we get to do cool things like this, like doing the podcast. I'm from the sidelines, sharing all the hot tips with you. So, number one, as cute as your outfit will be, and you will put effort into it if you're going, because that's what people want to do. You have to wear the most comfortable sneakers in humanity to go out there. And the hot tip with that is make sure they have some type of like waterproofing around it. And don't wear a full white sneaker like I have done in the past, because they will come nice and brown and muddy by the end of the day.
SPEAKER_01Is the master's muddy?
SPEAKER_00It's what happens is you just don't know. In the morning, any golf course has like dew, wet grass. So, and there's a lot of wet grass because it's a lot of walking. So your white sneaker will have that wet dew, and if it's not waterproof in the front part of it or anything, that wetness is coming into your socks, and you're just gonna have wet shoes the whole day. That's the most frustrating, annoying thing you ever want. I have been lucky to go many times to the masters, and every single year without fail, there's been a torrential downpour, at least one of the days where they've actually had to shut the whole venue down and you have had to go to the parking lot, sit and wait until the lightning or the thunderstorm stops.
SPEAKER_01So Augusta's temperamental.
SPEAKER_00Augusta be temperamental like the rest of us. And so, because of that, I want to just give everybody a heads up. Because, like, if you're coming from Florida, it's so nice and warm and you're like, oh, it's just Georgia, it's not that far. No, no, it's a whole different sphere over there of a cloud coming over top and you're torrentially down. And so I every year actually take layers and take waterproof jacket with me every single year that I go, and I've had to use it every year that I've or and what I'm hearing is a black, almost waterproof sneaker, right? Yeah, like people want to look, people want to dress up and look really cute. Like you'll see very like, because you're in Georgia, and most of the people that have access to these tickets um are generational, so the southern bell vibe is heavily there. So the long, like summer dresses and stuff, so they're not gonna wear a black sneaker underneath that, which I understand.
SPEAKER_01That's for the peasants, they're going straight to the suites, yeah. If you're like because we've done this at different times.
SPEAKER_00No, it's not they don't have suites there.
SPEAKER_01Oh, they don't? So where's the bell of the ball going?
SPEAKER_00She will be sitting on a on her own chair like everybody else, and or she'll have like a hospitality area that she can go and watch in, but then she's not on the golf course itself. Okay, so let me explain. If you are paying a pretty penny for the hospitality area, then you don't actually have access to watching the actual golf. You're watching it on TV and you're in full hospitality eating all the food, and you're never like in sight of play, you're on watching it on TV. Okay, but at some point, everybody has to come out of that suite because they you're there, so you'll want to watch at least something. Um, so that's one portion of it. But no, ever regardless, everyone has to do a lot of walking. Just to get into the entrance is a lot of walking. Okay. It doesn't matter who you are. Yes. Okay, so that's the first part. Extremely comfortable shoes. If you don't have hospitality, make sure you take layers with you. Do not try and think your outfit's super cute. The cold will get you, so will the rain. So, what other people say is like, oh, I'll just buy something at the pro shop. The lines are so long, and you think everyone else isn't trying to do what you're trying to do, which is buy something at the pro shop, or buy something in the shop, of course they are. So, my first advice if it's you've only had ticket to one day, you show up in the parking lot at 5 45 a.m. So you and your slumber and sleep.
SPEAKER_01There's no way.
SPEAKER_00But you need to do it between 5 45 to 6 30. If you want to enjoy the full day, you show up at the parking lot. The great news is parking is free. The masters do do a lot of really cool things where they do provide three or four free things for you. I have done about seven YouTube videos. Merch to buy, free things to get out of the masters. Know before you go. So if this is too much for you, I'll have all the links below. Watch it or share with the people that are going. So you show up with comfortable shoes, you show up with layers, and then what do you do? You first thing you walk and you stand in the pro shop line to buy your merch.
SPEAKER_01It's time for show and tell, everyone. It's time for show and tell with the merch.
SPEAKER_00Every year I go, I try and get a different kind of mug. She goes. We showcase your mugs.
SPEAKER_01So much merch.
SPEAKER_00But hold on. Everyone does.
SPEAKER_01We love it.
SPEAKER_00The merch. So these are the mugs. They this is from one year, this is another year, and then I have an another mug which just says masters everywhere. This is what you were seeing last episode. This is the goblet. As you bring them close. So see how this is shorter and wider, this is longer and narrow. So it just depends on what you want. So that I always come back with a mug because it's always fun to have a mug. Then what I do is there's so many mugs. There's so many mugs. Okay, so what I do is I will always from the parking lot go and stand in the merch line. Does not matter how long that line is, you get your merch done early in the morning and then it's just put away in the back of your head.
SPEAKER_01You don't have to carry the merch, right? They can store the merch for you. Did I already Yes? Because in a lot of the tournaments, you don't want to grab it first. I mean, you want the good stuff, but then you're carrying it like an idiot all day long.
SPEAKER_00I will show you the merch in a second. But the amazing thing about the masters is they've thought everything through. They have probably an insane storage unit, which is why you go to the merch store first. That storage unit gets full. And when it gets full, what are you doing? Carrying those bags around Augusta National is not a fun experience. So you have two options. You put again, storage free. So buy your thousands of dollars worth of merch, because that's how what you'll end up doing. You go to the next line, it's fast, it's super fast, and you store it, you get it a little ticky, you put a little ticky in the pocket, and you're moving.
SPEAKER_01Tiki tacky.
SPEAKER_00The the second thing is you can get it shipped directly to your house. So you will see a lot of people actually buying all the stuff and getting it straight away shipped. Yeah. So I tried doing that in Canada, and it was stupid numbers of dollars to get it shipped.
SPEAKER_01Oh, you tried getting them to ship it to Canada.
SPEAKER_00So I asked them, and the numbers were dumb. So I said, I'll be using your storage, you know. Thank you so much. They'll be physically dragging it all. I'll be putting it in my carry-on bag and paying for my carry-on bag luggage for overweight. And um, so if you're American, highly recommend just get it sent to your house. They do all the wrapping and packaging and all of that for you. Smart. Castle-free, highly recommend.
SPEAKER_01Wait, have you been to any other tournament that does this?
SPEAKER_00Not the mail it, no.
SPEAKER_01Right.
SPEAKER_00So I love it. They they, I mean, it's a well-oiled machine. They have absolutely crushed that part of it. The one thing I will tell you about mailing it is sometimes like somebody else comes to mind while you're watching. Oh shoot, I forgot a hat for so and so, or oh shoot, I forgot XYZ.
SPEAKER_02A mug.
SPEAKER_00A mug for so and so, but like when it's mailed, then it's just mailed. I guess you can then just have that one item and you can bring it home.
SPEAKER_01But if you're doing your big shop and you're thinking people are going in with like a big shop. So, how do you do it? You're going in with a list. You have to go in with a list, but how do you have a list?
SPEAKER_00Not on your phone.
SPEAKER_01Because no phones are allowed at the master's. Oh my god. Piece of paper. Back in the day. Back in the day. I had Did you see people with pieces of paper? Oh my god, you care.
SPEAKER_00No, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is like my little master's box. Where I have like all like every year I come back to this box.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god.
SPEAKER_00And this is what I would suggest that you do. You go to the merch stop shop straight away. You buy this little lanyard thing. Because what they require you to do, you can't look cute there. You have to have this is your ticket for the day. You have to have it showing somewhere.
SPEAKER_01Why?
SPEAKER_00Because they require they want to see this. You haven't just snuck in. No, no. This is it's a keepsake. It's beautiful. Every day has a different um ticket. And so this, let's say, is 2022. Let me show you. Okay, this was 2025. So it's different every year.
SPEAKER_01Fair, but don't you think a wristband would be easier for that?
SPEAKER_00So no, they want people to keep these. These are memorabilia.
SPEAKER_01I can keep the wristband.
SPEAKER_00Anyways, they don't have it. Don't listen to Anna. Yeah, what the hell? He's just not listening. You put your ticket in here. So straight away you haven't. Because remember, if it's raining, that I just told you it rains every year. You will need to have it somewhere.
SPEAKER_01And this, every single person But guess what would still do well in the rain? A wristband. Moving on.
SPEAKER_00You have this. So now in here, you what else do you just slide out of the pod. Yeah. You know what?
SPEAKER_01And off I go.
SPEAKER_00I escape so I can talk to the people that are going to the masters. You have your ticket. So when you're in the merch shop, this is a highly, highly recommended item you buy. And I have my box, so I take this every year. I have my ticket. I have the schedule for the day. Who's teeing off? At what time? Where are they teeing off? Because guess what again? You can't have your phones. So how do you know what time? Okay.
SPEAKER_01And you know, and Termy.
SPEAKER_00What time is your favorite player teeing off? Well, you need to have this piece of paper. And most people, how many things are you going to shove in your pocket? So, you know what? You just keep it neat.
SPEAKER_01I now get it. I get the point of this.
SPEAKER_00Clean. You have the tea times. Guess what? You should also have business cards. Oh I don't have business cards, but guess what? I have stickers. So sometimes I give the sticker to people, and or I they don't know how to spell my name, or I tell them about YouTube. And you have to have Can you bring a little bag in? Yep, you can bring a bag in. A pretty decent sized bag, actually.
SPEAKER_01And it has to be see-through, right?
SPEAKER_00Uh no. They let you have like a like a bag that's yeah, a solid bag that's not see-through. I had a pencil in here. You know those little pencils that we use at golf courses? Yeah. Pencilmasters pencil that you well, no, I just have like a regular pencil that you would use at a golf course. I have that in here, and I have a piece of paper in here. So when you've met somebody you're sitting beside who's really cool, who you have a great time chit-chatting with, um, and you are just like, you know, want to share information. Guess what? No phones. So you actually have to either write their email down or write their phone number down. So you must have a piece of paper and a pencil with you because how good is your memory? I'm not sure. Maybe it's great. But I that's just what I have at all times. So I have my little pencil in here. Sometimes I write their information on the, you know, where the the the tea times, um, and then I or I give them my information. So you you meet really, really amazing, very cool people. And then what you also get is this little QR code. And what is this QR code? You get to take a free photo in front by a professional photographer in front of the clubhouse. Yeah, and so you get to take a picture there and they give you the QR code. And by the time you leave um and you go home or wherever you're going to your Airbnb, you scan it, and there's a beautiful photo of you. Do you not have the photo? Did you not have tons?
SPEAKER_01I know, but do you not have the photo ready for the pod to show the people of the phone?
SPEAKER_00I don't have it printed, unfortunately. But if you go on my website, you'll see like a million of them of me. Um, so then you also don't want to lose that because like how are you gonna get your photo? So you have to have that in your so this pouch, I'm telling the people the hot tips.
SPEAKER_01They thought it through.
SPEAKER_00Well, you have to buy this. I think it's like ten dollars. Okay. Um, and then you know, every year you kind of add your little pins to it, your memorabilia. And I just have I just have all the chotch. I have all my chotch in this little folder. So if you it's your first time, you're standing in line for the merch shop, you are buying yourself one of these. You're also potentially buying the chairs, they're only$30 or$35. Highly recommend if you have access to bringing it or bringing it back to your house. It's such a fun picnic chair. I have brought two back to Canada because they're just so good. And previous years that I've been to, I've also not bought the chair. I want to talk about the chair because I really love the concept. Okay, they're little picnic chairs that you sit on. Yeah, and they're they're in a sleeve, so you can carry it. It's perfect. You pick your favorite hole, you go plop your chair down, and you have either like a ribbon or something on your chair because all the chairs are the same.
SPEAKER_02All right.
SPEAKER_00So you have a ribbon or you have your business card, or like you saw my coach Cheyenne sticker, I would stick that on the back of my chair. And so you know exactly where it is in a sea of the same colored chairs. And what happens is let's say I'm on the first T box watching somebody play, but my chair is on the third hole or the fifth roll.
SPEAKER_02I've rolled it off there.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I've put it over there. Okay, you, stranger, walking, and you're like, I just want to sit and watch a couple of these guys coming through play. You plop and sit on anybody's chair. It does not matter. That chair is yours that you've bought, but at that time, if you're not physically at that hole, it's a communal chair. So anyone can sit on anybody's chair.
SPEAKER_01You're seeing anyone's ass and be in that chair.
SPEAKER_00Correct. And all that happens is let's say I come back to that third hole where I have my chair, and a stranger, aka my brother, is sitting there. All I do is just tap on their shoulder and be like, hi, I'm back. And that person just gets up. Oh, great, lovely. Gets up and either finds another empty chair, or sometimes they like walk away, or they'll stand behind you. I love that tradition. The masters is filled with so many traditions, and for me, I just love that. It's so communal. You know, the next thing you know, you sit beside that person because the chair beside them is empty and you have a great conversation, you're doing small talk. It's so, so nice. It's really, really lovely. It's one of my favorite things. I met I've met so many people just by doing that.
SPEAKER_02Right.
SPEAKER_00Um, another thing that you get for free, obviously, is a spectator guide. People love to keep it. It is does have like a lot of information about the different holes, um, which people love to read. And it just has like while you're waiting for someone, it's a fun thing to just have a map, which is extremely helpful to tell you where all the restrooms are, where all your snacks are. And then there's two shops that you should know where they are. Because again, so much walking, so much walking. And the scale and the depth of the slopes and the hills is so unassuming on TV. It's so much more aggressive. It's like you're climbing a little mountain.
SPEAKER_01It requires some actual like strength and stamina.
SPEAKER_00Yep. Um, so I brought a bag tag um to you can have on your golf bag. I've I have that. I buy pins every year to add to my hats or to my collections. Um, I bought one year, I bought the like what would you call this? The I guess yeah, the magazine from that year. And and the reason why I bought it is because it's the 86th Masters, and why would I have bought that?
SPEAKER_01Because you're born in 1986. You know, she's just not all beauty out here. There's also some brains.
SPEAKER_00There's so many brains.
SPEAKER_01Sometimes it clicks, and most times it doesn't. For you. For me.
SPEAKER_00Mostly. So that is what I have in this box. Okay. So I go through this box, I open this box. The box. Yeah. Once a year I open the box, and then I remember, oh, I need to take this, I need to take that. Now let me show you some other fun things before I show you this digital camera.
SPEAKER_01This, ladies and gentlemen, is a digital camera.
SPEAKER_00For all of you Gen Zers who don't know what this is. This is the only item you are allowed to bring inside that's considered technology at the Masters. No phones. If you have a watch, like one of your i what do they call it? What the watch is called? Apple watches or a digital watch, you have to disconnect it to all things internet. So you have your watch, they'll check. You have to disconnect it. If you decide to pick it up and talk to anybody, like it's game over, you're kicked out. So you bring your digital camera. Only allowed to use your digital camera Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. That is it. Those are the practice round days. So on tournament days, which is Thursday to Sunday, you just come as you are. Pretty, bright, excited. Nothing, no camera, nothing. You're not allowed to bring any of that starting Thursday. Tournament day is Thursday onwards. They will make you put it in a locker. If you're Ubering, ride sharing, or you've brought your phone with you because you need to bring it. Um, once you scan your ticket, you then enter the grounds. On the left-hand side, as soon as you enter, it'll say cell phones or mobile phones. You put it there, they'll give you again a little ticky, ticky tacky. Tiki tack. And again, because you have your lanyard, you will put that in there. If you lose that, which I'm sure people do, they have like a uh they'll probably ask you what time did you enter, and they'll go through all like the packaging and stuff to do that. Don't lose it, just put it in your thing. So you'll get a ticket for that, you'll get a ticket to get your free photo, and then you'll have the big sheet of paper which tells you who's playing at what time the T-sheet, which you'll also have in there, and then you'll have your the lanyard will carry your actual ticket to enter. So a lot of little little bits and pieces that you need to have in there, which is why I recommend that you have that. Now, the merch, the actual.
SPEAKER_01Oh, you're wearing one of the hats. There's so many hats. Let's see your hat.
SPEAKER_00Let's see yours. Oh, where is my hat?
SPEAKER_01Oh, it's right here. I love my hat.
SPEAKER_00So I didn't think like my brother would like. First year I brought him a blue hat.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So first year I brought him the blue hat. He loved it. Then I was like, okay, and then I brought him, bought him the yellow hat. This one has the year.
SPEAKER_01The yellow.
SPEAKER_00This one has the year. This one is just the logo, no year.
SPEAKER_01Love the year on it.
SPEAKER_00Do you?
SPEAKER_01I do. I really I also like this type font. I like the green on the yellow. I just realized when I grabbed my hat, I was like, oof, it is dirty. I need to.
SPEAKER_00So there's many different kinds of hats. This one is a ladies' hat. The logo is stitched.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah. But also, it seems like a waterproof-y kind of.
SPEAKER_00I think I think this is a waterproof-y, this is like a sweat-wicking one. This is the classic green hat, classic logo. So on the last episode, we had done this. We were talking about the and I have mine is like a cloth material.
SPEAKER_01The fabric one is.
SPEAKER_00I would next time I go, or if I was to gift, I wouldn't do the cloth material.
SPEAKER_01Because they get dirty and stuff. Forget the dirty.
SPEAKER_00It's not breathable. Like the material itself is not breathable. And think about the amount of times we're sweating or we're playing or we're just moving around quite a bit.
SPEAKER_01I wear it casually, so it's perfect for that. I'm not sweating in the floor.
SPEAKER_00And I feel like these other ones have this in the in the front part, the brim, so it doesn't get dirty. Mine is all white. Oh, it's yeah. Don't look at it. It's dirty. What is yours? Is yours cloth in the front or does it have a color?
SPEAKER_01It does get dirty.
SPEAKER_00So see, I like the ones that have this, which is a different material. Anyways, I think it's a preference thing.
SPEAKER_01You just need to wash it.
SPEAKER_00What I wanted to tell you guys was this, let's say, it's under$35, this hat.
SPEAKER_01Here it comes, Carl. Are you ready? We talked about this last part.
SPEAKER_00The F1 hats, you guys. Same concept, but also like really nice on the inside. This was when Lewis used to drive for Mercedes. This hat, for no apparent reason, is$90. That's right. These hats, like I think they're$32 to$35.
SPEAKER_01But wait.
SPEAKER_00Three times as much for this hat as opposed to this hat.
SPEAKER_01And the US and the US open hat was$60. So it's in between. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00For$102.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, you bought one as a gift for our pal Frankie.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_01Well, those are about$60,$65.
SPEAKER_00So all I'm saying is the merch in the merch shop, they do an incredible job at the Masters where it's affordable. So I think what ends up happening, you get so excited. So you end up buying like seven hats. Right? So you it I bought one thing at Miami F1, which was that hat, and for some crazy reason I spent a lot more like a thousand dollars at the masters, which is so stupid.
SPEAKER_01You brought chairs, you brought mugs.
SPEAKER_00They have these belt bags.
SPEAKER_01You just stop for a second.
SPEAKER_00Mel melt the belt bags are really cute.$38. Cheaper than the Luleman belt bag. The t-shirt, the one I'm wearing, obviously I love about it all the time. But great blue cute great shirt. Do I have the tag on it? I do.$32 for a t-shirt.
SPEAKER_01That is cheaper than like a regular and the quality is good.
SPEAKER_00Okay, so where it gets expensive at the Masters is zip-ups.
SPEAKER_01The half on the zip-ups.
SPEAKER_00Um, full zips and polos. Um, this is a women's really beautiful. And this one, what's your guess on this? That t-shirt was$32.
SPEAKER_01$150.
SPEAKER_00Whoa!$145.
SPEAKER_01Listen.
SPEAKER_00So I know this is expensive. So the polos will be, you know, under$200, but along the same price. Along the same. Um, what else do I have? Oh, I love my rich white lady hat.
SPEAKER_01I just go Cheyenne calls it the rich white lady hat.
SPEAKER_00But just like look how good it is.
SPEAKER_01A rich colored lady would not wear the hat. No, they would.
SPEAKER_00But it's but I just like, I mean, all you see at the Masters is a rich white lady, and that's what she's wearing. Yeah, they're all are.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Um, so I I love it's a great sun hat, but this is like$90. This was probably the most expensive hat that I bought there. I wanted to show you. Let's show you.
SPEAKER_01Should be hi, Shuggy. We're talking Masters Girl.
SPEAKER_00March, Masters, March, Suggy. Suggy. I love this bag. It's so big.
SPEAKER_01Should be do you want the bag? We'll send it over. I mean, it's gigantic. We could probably put you in it.
SPEAKER_00This is almost like a I've used it as a carry-on before. That bag. I've used packed because it had so much stuff and my personal stuff, and I use that thing as a carry-on.
SPEAKER_01I remember everybody used it as a carry-on, and I thought that was crazy.
SPEAKER_00I love this bag as well. This bag is really beautiful.
SPEAKER_01Little quilt, a little quilt. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Okay, so this bag folds up and it becomes a pouch this big. And that pouch is what I have all of like my YouTube stuff, like my mics and things in. So this bag folds into that little bag. So it's like two bags in one. I thought it was.
SPEAKER_01This is a big, this is a bit like a granny bag, a little bit like the with the quilt and the white and the flowers. But listen, it's a nice little beach bag. It's a great beach bag. And I do like that there's a zipper on the top.
SPEAKER_00They have different colors, I think, every year. This was a bit expensive too.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Um, but it's you've got all your sports stuff that you're calling. It's great.
SPEAKER_00It fits a lot of stuff in there. And then this is what my brother would love and wear all the time. He's a big tote guy. Yeah, just it just a classic tote. Classic tote. Every day they have different toasts with different sayings. So I got lucky. I love my pimento cheese leaderboard and badges. Those are the three things like the Masters is known for. So I love this one. I have cute little like things on it. It's really use and abuse. I use this quite a bit. Um, you want to show them the golf balls?
SPEAKER_01I want to show them the golf balls. Those are some of my favorites.
SPEAKER_00This was one second. This was um Limited? Every yeah, limited edition. Every year they have a limited edition set of golf balls that comes out. And so this year, the year Rory one, which was last year.
SPEAKER_01I would not want to use these golf balls because I wouldn't.
SPEAKER_00No, they're so cute. I mean, I don't use them.
SPEAKER_01Maybe at a pitch and putt. Or maybe at a putt putt.
SPEAKER_00So it's actually had the tag in here.$68 for$70 for three.
SPEAKER_01Four sleeves?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, four sleeves for a box. Uh$70 for a box of um titles pro vs. Each one has.
SPEAKER_01I understand are good balls, right? Very, very good balls. The packaging obviously is very cute.
SPEAKER_00You guys, each ball has a different logo on it. So that is their peach ice cream sandwich, which I think is actually love a peach, love an ice cream sandwich, love it all. But it's two cookies with an uh with the ice cream in the middle.
SPEAKER_01Yum.
SPEAKER_00It's too sweet. I said it. I went there, I said it, it's way too sweet. I would love just the ice cream. The peach is. No, but peach ice cream, no, it's too sweet.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_00And then there's the classic bag of chips that they have. Um, and then they have the pimento cheese sandwich, which is on that one. And on um, so they had four sleeves, and each sleeve had like, let's say, three pimento cheese sandwich balls. I've just mixed and matched.
SPEAKER_01Oh, you mixed and matched it. Okay.
SPEAKER_00And then the last one is the classic cup. And speaking about the cups, another item that's free at the masters, little keepsake cups.
SPEAKER_01Well, no, you probably buy a drink.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, but the drink is like$1.52.
SPEAKER_01Oh, it's$25, like at the other tournament.
SPEAKER_00If you're drinking alcohol, you will get a green cup. If you're not drinking alcohol, you'll get a clear cup like this. So they have like Power Aids, sodas, um, water bottles.
SPEAKER_01They also It's because they've kept the pricing from when it first started, which is why like an egg salad sandwich is like$1.50 still.
SPEAKER_00Incredible. Yes. So these are really great, super fun. I'm trying to think of the last item I can show you before I tell you what was not good.
SPEAKER_01Uh-oh.
SPEAKER_00Well, you said every every company should be able to do things that they can work on, right?
SPEAKER_01Sure.
SPEAKER_00Okay. So the masters, they they haven't really missed too much. Their hospitality, I've worked in professional sports for 15 years and in in hospitality specific, specifically with high-end like net worth individuals. That was my um, that was my job.
SPEAKER_01You're 14.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that was my job and my uh, yeah, exactly. What I was very good at doing. And so I when I went to the masters, I was like, usually I can pinpoint there's a where there's a lack of it. And I was like, wow, they haven't skipped a beat. From the restrooms, there are literally these amazing women that their sole job is to make sure that the restrooms constantly are flowing and are clean. They wipe every countertop. Wow, it's like, oh, it's a well-oiled machine. They did, they're incredible. The lines move fast for food. It's just so well done. No cash, everything is tapped.
SPEAKER_01No notes. So that's what the kids are saying. No notes. Do you know those?
SPEAKER_00No, but there is notes.
SPEAKER_01Oh shit.
SPEAKER_00So heads up, because everyone now taps with their phone, you actually need to actually have your credit card with you. So heads up on that one. So don't forget.
SPEAKER_01Oh, you can't tap because I tap everywhere. You need a physical card. Because? Because no phones. I keep forgetting I would not do well here. Okay.
SPEAKER_00Bring a credit card. Also let your credit card company know in advance that you will be at the masters. Yes, because they've blocked people and they've had to go on the side, and then the retail people have helped them call their Amex and tell them to release it. Correct. Two things that the masters, in my very humble opinion, so humble need to work on or whatever.
SPEAKER_01We just need to improve, right?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, improve. Number one. Oh in merch, in the world of merch, I bought this sweater, which I was the mo hoodie.
SPEAKER_01You were very excited about this.
SPEAKER_00Big size. Oh, it's just like everything you've ever wanted. Nice big logo. It was soft when I bought it. I wore it.
SPEAKER_01Is it not soft anymore?
SPEAKER_00It's still kind of soft.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I wore it twice. Twice. Nice. I wore it, I think once, and you could start to see the peeling happening a little peeling or whatever. Fumpta is what we say in my language. And then I washed it once, and you guys it's fully peeled. It looks like you cannot see it. Yeah, it's looks like it's fine. But you know those machines where you need to do it to get all the peeling machines. This whole sweater.
SPEAKER_01Did you use it? The machine?
SPEAKER_00No, because I'm like, who I don't have time to be going through a whole sweater in every angle to get this. It really did. It's really bad. Yeah.
unknownOh.
SPEAKER_00So we just need to change the, they just need to like get a better quality. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01That's all.
SPEAKER_00So that's number one for um for let's upgrade.
SPEAKER_01Upgrade. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00This shirt that I love, this shirt, the the shirt, this I have gotten this tailored. It used to go down towards my knees essentially.
SPEAKER_01Is it a women's shirt?
SPEAKER_00Yes. The length of the shirt was like from top to like my knees. I when we were in athletics, okay. Same thing though.
SPEAKER_01The pilling, yeah. It's pilling everywhere.
SPEAKER_00So their their cotton quality is almost uh So hopefully that they have fixed that or someone's complained, because I haven't complained.
SPEAKER_01We will be attending next year from the sidelines, from the sidelines to figure it out. In their media box to figure it out.
SPEAKER_00Okay, and then the last thing that I would say that the masters can work. I really appreciate the food prices. So I'm never gonna argue with that. Coming, like, you know, everyone has humble beginnings and stuff. So even just their egg and their egg salad sandwich,$1.50. It's so nice not to feel like half of your bank accounts going on food and then the other half is going to merge. So I respect them. I love everything about that. Only thing is there is no variety in terms of food options if you don't eat beef or pork.
SPEAKER_01I would be hooped.
SPEAKER_00As a vegetarian, you would only be able to eat your egg salad. Yeah. And they're and if you don't like the pimento cheese, like you only have egg salad. You are there now, remember, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. So for your breakfast, for your lunch, and your midday sack, how many egg salad sandwiches can you have?
SPEAKER_01They don't have more things. No.
SPEAKER_00So everything they have chicken biscuit sandwiches in the morning, very like Georgia. You know, you'd want to have um, they have like an egg bacon situation. Everything has like beef or pork in it. Again, if you're a vegetarian, what if you're a vegan?
SPEAKER_01You can't even do the egg salad salad. No, you can't go.
SPEAKER_00If you're vegan, God bless you.
SPEAKER_01Do not go.
SPEAKER_00If you're vegan, you have apples, a banana, I don't know. You can't even have their muffin. Um, you have popcorn, and they have like a thing of nuts, but all of those are quite like small snack itemy types.
SPEAKER_01I know someone online that likes popcorn.
SPEAKER_00Anyways, my only request to Augusta National and the Masters is we would love, we, as in maybe me and some other people.
SPEAKER_01Maybe a lot of other people would like some variety. Also, where's the fiber? If it's just like sandwiches and stuff.
SPEAKER_00No fiber, it's white.
SPEAKER_01It's in the apples.
SPEAKER_00Bread. The white bread. If you're also going for like multiple days and that's all you're eating, it's white bread for three days straight.
SPEAKER_01This is why the toilets are very busy.
SPEAKER_00They're cleaned.
SPEAKER_01Actually, they're not busy because you're backed up. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_00So that's my only like, you know, every, like you said, every um job or company should always want to get better. And there's always places to improve. So it was the peeling in the shirts of ready of foods. Yeah, just like a I don't know what that looks like for them. I I know that people would love a box salad, just like any kind of greens would be so nice.
SPEAKER_01You know what white people are. I would love soup too. You know what white people love? A salad. And the fact that this tournament is predominantly white attendee played all of it. How have they not provided the white people with salad? They provided them with popcorn, which they also love.
SPEAKER_00Well, we love popcorn too. But no, we love the fruit, but no salad. That's my only two cents. But I think that because they go through so much food and so many people come, that they also have to make sense. Everything is made on property on ground. So I know it's maybe a logistical thing or and they also don't like like trash everywhere. There, it's like pristine. It's like something you've never seen. So I'm thinking, is it because it's gonna make too much noise, a salad with the you know, like a plastic box? If you were to, is it gonna make noise? Is it gonna be left around? It's like it's the Masters is really made for TV. When you watch it on TV, you won't see a wrapper, uh, anything, a water bottle, nothing is out of order. And if it is, people are like in three seconds on it. There's just gonna be some creative people in the food and beverage industry that must figure out how they can do that. How can they do that? And to that, cheers.
SPEAKER_01This was a very long this was a very long ramble, but I really hope that you have a great time.
SPEAKER_00Let me know if any of these tips help you. If you want a lot more detail, like I've mentioned to you before.
SPEAKER_01More detail.
SPEAKER_00If they want more detail, I have my different YouTube videos on the masters. Make sure you go and watch those. Thank you. If you've stayed all the way to the end of this podcast, I really appreciate it because this one's an hour and 10 minutes. And we just appreciate you guys tuning in and joining us bi-weekly. Oh, on Wednesdays, can you bring your phone? Oh, thank you so much for being in the comments. You cannot bring your phone any of the days.
SPEAKER_01No phone.
SPEAKER_00When?
SPEAKER_01Every day. Every day. Three days, no phone day at the Masters. This is what I've learned. What you can bring is your digital camera, the one you don't have, and the one you used to have, the one that you got rid of that you then had to ask your uncle for, and he dug it up, and then you take it.
SPEAKER_00So And only one day are you only allowed to bring your digital camera.
SPEAKER_01The first two days.
SPEAKER_00Incorrect.
SPEAKER_01That's incorrect. I didn't pay attention at all. The first day, the Thursday. The Wednesday.
SPEAKER_00Bun, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, the practice rounds. You're only allowed to bring the digital camera in with you on the practice round days, which is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. In golf, the tournament starts on Thursday. How can I even that in?
SPEAKER_01Can you get me to understand that? Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Digicam.
SPEAKER_00Thursday onward.
SPEAKER_01Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, nothing.
SPEAKER_00Just show up with the smile. Someone just wrote, oh no, lol, thank you. You're so welcome.
SPEAKER_01You're so welcome.
SPEAKER_00But you know what? Even if you tried to bring your phone in, they'll get you in three seconds. It's just excited. There's no way.
SPEAKER_01In your underwear? How are they putting it on your hands?
SPEAKER_00What is the point of that?
SPEAKER_01Oh, right, because you can't really pull it out of your own. What are you gonna do with it in your underwear? I don't know. I just want to see it.
SPEAKER_00Would you ever want to get kicked out of the masters? It's so hard to get in. And just get rid of your phone. It's the most freeing experience ever.
SPEAKER_01You mean I have to be with my mind?
SPEAKER_00It's so fun. So last thing I'll leave you with is they have old school, like you know how in London they have the London, oh, oh, that's a post box. The London booths. Like, you know how they have phone booths. So in certain parts of the golf course, they have it's not a single booth. There's a bunch of phones where you can call. So if you have your around the anywhere in the world, if you have So you have to have the numbers like written memorized, memorized or written in that piece of paper that I told you of, and you can call. And I ended up calling my parents. I called them the You're like, hello, calling from Augusta. And it says Augusta National when you call. And they're like, hello, hello. I'm like, hi, Ma. I just want to give you a call. This is kind of fun. And that was like the end of that. So that they do have, and you don't have to pay for that. That's also free. You just pick up Dell.
SPEAKER_01I gotta go. I gotta go. Except the food part. That's gonna be tough.
SPEAKER_00But but we will figure out a way for the food part. So thank you again for tuning in. We will see you on Thursday.
SPEAKER_01Happy Easter Monday.
SPEAKER_00Happy Easter Monday. I hope you guys have a beautiful week. We'll see you on Thursday with more sports, entertainment, and culture updates. And gossip for the tea. On that note, give me one last ching ching.
SPEAKER_01One last cheers.
SPEAKER_00Enjoy the masters. Bye.
