The Masters: Tradition, Heartbreaks & Betting Action

Discussion starts at [01:04]

Augusta’s Mystique & Traditions

• Host 2: “It's Masters week, baby… the boys are back… We’re gonna cover a lot: The Masters right now, March Madness recap, NBA playoffs... and a guest for NFL draft insight.”
• Host 4: “Feeling fired up… Masters weekend, Tortuga weekend. Just waiting for Tiger Woods to pull up in an SUV on the course or something.”
• Host 2: “Rocking my Tiger shirt… wish nothing more than Tiger pulling up and winning this Masters after everything that’s going on. Dude, maybe he needs a Tesla, one of those self-driving ones.”

On Augusta’s Exclusivity:

• Host 2: “The Masters stands out. It's the tradition, the course—the exclusivity. You’ve got to join a lottery just to go… once you're there, everything’s like $2. People spend thousands at the gift shop… you can only buy merch there.”
• Host 3: “Heard Masters sells more merch in four days than the Atlanta Braves sell all year. That’s wild.”
• Host 4: “People don’t realize how hard that course is until you're there. Seeing the slopes on the greens—it’s gorgeous, it’s exclusive, and the no-phones thing… no other event like it.”

No Phones Zone:

• Host 3: “Love the picture of Tiger Woods in 2001, no phones—people just enjoying the moment. Now? Everyone’s just holding up phones.”
• Host 2: “There’s a story, a past champion kicked out this week for breaking the phone policy. They are strict.”

Day One Storylines & Leaderboard

• Host 3: “Rory’s looking good. Bad news for y’all… Sheffler didn’t start bad. You might be in trouble.”
• Host 4: “This course is showing its teeth—Davis Riley is 18 over and not through day two!”
• Host 2: “I love tournaments that make these guys really hurt. Even the best are struggling.”

Notable Quotes

• Host 3 [05:24]: “Masters sells more merch in four days than the Braves do all year… wild.”
• Host 2 [07:29]: “If you’re there, you are there, and there’s nothing else in the world. You’re stepping into another world.”

Masters Menu Draft [16:12]

Inspired by Rory’s previous champ’s dinner, hosts share dream menus:

• Host 1: “Going full Cuban—ropa vieja, flan for dessert.”
• Host 2: “PF Chang’s. Wagyu dumplings, Chang spicy chicken, and NY cheesecake.”
• Host 3: “I’d be stuffing pimento cheese in my pocket…”
• Host 4: “Mini hot dogs, steak and mac & cheese, frozen yogurt with Reese’s—slushy on the side.”

March Madness Recap: Wolverines & Upsets

Segment starts at [19:45]

Men’s Championship

• Host 2: “Champs are crowned—shoutout to Michigan Wolverines. Wingo and I rolled with Arizona, but Michigan routed them… Dusty May has a great group.”
• Host 3: “Yukon gave them a good fight, didn’t go away. Dan Hurley—headbutting a referee after a game-winner—clip of the week!”
• Host 2: “Dan Hurley’s personality—loud, proud, aggressive… but he’s been on an incredible run.”

Notable Quotes

• Host 3 [21:09]: “Dan Hurley headbutting a ref—should never be possible. All-time clip.”
• Host 4 [23:19]: “Michigan wasn’t on everyone’s radar—just steamrolling. Testament to being healthy, firing on all cylinders.”

Women’s Championship

• Host 2: “Shoutout to UCLA Bruins. Jaime Jaquez’s sister balling—first championship for the girls program.”
• Host 1: “Huge upset—South Carolina is a blue blood. UCLA smoked them, like 79-51.”
• Host 3: “That altercation between coaches; then UCLA just handling business… don’t sleep.”

WNBA NIL & Pay Discussion

• Host 4: “Women’s players finally making real money through marketing and sponsorships—important for growing the game.”
• Host 3: “New contract structures—a $100K minimum coming soon.”

NBA Playoff Picture: Miami Heat Mania & West/East Scenarios

Segment starts at [32:35]

Miami Heat, The Play-In Kings

• Host 1: “King of the play-in tournament, four years in a row. It’s so annoying.”
• Host 2: “The Heat just love drama. Could be one of those years they catch fire—the playoff format favors them.”

Western Conference

• Host 2: “Thunder are the reigning champs—can anyone dethrone them? I think the Spurs, with Wemby, could take them in a 7-game series.”
• Host 4: “If Wemby stays healthy, Spurs are for real. The Jokic factor for the Nuggets—he just treats the NBA like a 9-to-5, loves his horses more than basketball.”
• Host 3: “Joker goes home, drinks beer, forgets basketball exists… then drops 30/20/15 when he’s back.”

Eastern Conference

• Host 2: “East is a crapshoot—Pistons, Celtics, Knicks, Cavs, all contenders. No idea who to pick.”
• Host 1: “No true superpower in the East. The Heat can make another Cinderella run.”
• Host 3: “Celtics with Tatum back, playing great ball, but I still think the finals run through the West.”

Host Picks:

• Host 2: “Cavs-Spurs Final.”
• Host 3: “Thunder-Boston.”
• Host 4: “Thunder-Boston.”
• Host 1: “Heat-Spurs, a 2013 rematch.”

Notable Quotes

• Host 3 [43:11]: “The finals runs through the West this year—it’s just a matter of who’s going to lose.”

NFL Draft Deep Dive with “Reason”

Guest joins at [45:34]

Ty Simpson Hype

• Host 3: “Ty Simpson’s getting buzz—but is it real? Where does he land?”
• Guest: “First half of the season, great footwork. Then struggled with pressure, missing easy throws. I wouldn’t touch him until the second round. Rams make sense as a stash behind Stafford, but… would you tie your franchise to him?”

Miami Dolphins’ Strategy

• Host 2: “Who should Miami take at #11?”

• Guest:

  • “Francis Muaoi is the dream. If not: Caleb Downs, Reuben Bain, Jermad McCoy, or Vega Ione/Kenyan Sadiq.”
  • “You gotta keep your options wide at #11; possible trade back.”
  • “Don’t rule out the Dolphins doubling up at receiver and guard, and taking a run stuffer like Kaden McDonald at #30.”

• Host 3: “Fano vs. Ione at guard?”

• Guest: “I prefer Vega Ione. One of safest OL prospects since Quenton Nelson.”

Fallers & Risers

• Guest:
  • “Cassius Howell falls. Peter Woods too due to poor testing. Ted Hurst at WR will go much higher than mocks predict, probably early second round.”

Notable Quotes

• Guest [48:53]: “Would you tie yourself to Ty Simpson in the first round as a GM? I wouldn’t.”
• Guest [59:59]: “People say Ione’s the best guard since Quentin Nelson.”

Guys Being Dudes: Miami Flavor & Debate of The Week

Starts at [74:00]

Debate: Right Way to Cut a Sandwich

• Host 4: “Never done a triangle cut. If it’s not symmetrical, day’s ruined.”
• Host 3: “Triangle cut is so approachable—so many options for your next bite.”
• Host 2: “I just cut off the crust—eat it as a square.”
• Host 1: “Wild card—don’t cut it, just eat it as is.”

Dude of The Week

• Host 1 [78:19]: “Dude of the week: Robert McIntyre flicking off the camera at the Masters after a quad bogey. No more ‘they’re just like us’ moment than that.”
• Host 2: “He got reprimanded, but when you’re nine over, I get it—sometimes you gotta flick the bird.”

Notable & Memorable Moments

• On Dan Hurley’s wild behavior:
  “Dan Hurley headbutting a referee after a game-winner—should never be possible. All-time clip.” — Host 3 [21:09]

• On Augusta exclusivity:
  “The Masters sells more merch in four days than the Braves all year… wild.” — Host 3 [05:24]

• On Joker’s love of horses vs. hoops:
  “He just treats the game like a 9 to 5 work job… my real love is horses.” — Host 2 [40:13]
