Transcript

[A]

The Bird Show. We spent a lot of time this morning talking about the Masters, but we've been talking about the Masters as they pertain to Tiger Woods. But Jen and Jeff are actually going down there this weekend.

[B]

I'm so excited. I just. I cannot wait. My dad is coming with me. And he's an avid golfer, has been his entire life. He's a golf fan over decades and decades. I mean, growing up, that's all I remember watching. I mean, during every single tournament it was on. It was a permanent fixture in my house growing up. And we used to play when I was a teenager. We played father daughter tournaments and we. I used to play golf when I was a kid growing up. And so to be able to take my dad to the Masters this weekend, like, especially this weekend, but just to be able to take my dad as my date for the weekend is like. It's like a personal win for me in my whole life. I bet. I'm like, if this is the reason that waking up at 3:45 in the morning for the last eight years, like, if that is what I had to do to get to this point to take my dad to have this experience with him for this weekend, then every single morning was worth it.

[A]

You have to try to. You gotta kinda explain this to non golfers because the Masters, every golfer in the world, if you play golf in the world, and I'm not overhyping, that wants to play Augusta national. That's the one thing every golfer in the world has in common. It's such an elite experience to play, and they don't hand out that many tickets every single year. When you consider how many people around the world want to go, it is really, really difficult to get a badge to get in. So Jen's father is. He loves golf. So this is like literally a dream come true.

[B]

Y' all explain Augusta national, because I think for a lot of people who are new to Georgia may not understand that you can't buy tickets to go into the Masters.

[C]

Yeah, all the tickets are owned by or are kept by people who've had them for years. It's not a ticketed event. Like people talk about the World Series or talk about that NCAA tournament or the super bowl. And you can buy. There are tickets available to the public. You'll pay a ton for them. But with Augusta national, they don't release tickets for sale. You don't go to Ticketmaster and try to get in. You have to essentially get on a waiting list that maybe your kids will get the phone call someday because it's so tight and long. So exclusive. Yeah, exclusive. So what they. What you have to do is know someone who knows someone who's a member or something like that, and then they can either pass the tickets down or kind of sell them. Not supposed to, but.

[A]

Right. And if it ever get back to, like, Augusta national, that you sold your. Your badge, you'd be. You'd be booted. You'd never be able to get on.

[C]

Well, you can sell them. The thing, the problem is people don't sell them. Because if I had. If I'm a member, I have my Augusta national badges and I sell them to Bert. And then Burt goes there and has two beers too many and heckles Tiger or whatever might happen, or pulls out a camera or.

[A]

Can't have your phone out. Can't have your camera.

[C]

Yeah. Brings the phone on the course. There'll be no tweets from the come. And they take those badges. Bert's gone. And then the family, whoever owned those badges, never gets them back. And I wouldn't. I mean, if I had.

[B]

You don't want to risk it or whatever. And we have to say that the only reason that we're able to go is because Matthew Dwyer from Healthy Trim has the connections, and he has so graciously invited us to go and be a part of it.

[A]

So that's a big old hookup right there.

[B]

I mean, that's amazing. Healthy Trim is the greatest product I have never taken. That is the greatest product I have never experienced.

[A]

At least till Monday. It is

[B]

big. Thank you to Matthew.

[A]

Enjoy yourself, guys. It's. It's a magical place. You can feel it. As soon as you walk into that place, you will feel it. It's amazing.

[B]

I'm just so excited to be able to share this with my dad and with Jeff and his friend George. That's going. I'm just. It's going to be so much fun.

[A]

Have a great time.

[C]

Get it.
