You're listening to the Downbeat on ninety seven to one, the freak. I
made it. I'm so nervous. I made it. The hour and eleven
minutes that we weren't allowed to talk golf anything, I was gonna make it.
This is a downbeat. It's Kevin Turner, Daniel Bayliss, Hello,
It's Michael Siroy Hello. Kevin is a very kind of an informal name.
It is, you know, yeah, Daniel, Michael, those are very
Daniel, Paul, Danny or Mike. But then you have the formal option
to go to Kevin. It does not have a more formal option to go
to, just like people named Scott. keV. No, that's less informal.
keV oh is keV O Maybe is more formal. I think ke is
more formal. And it's like if your Chad and your name is not Chadwick,
like Chadwick, you have a beautiful formal option. If it is just
Chad, you have no more formal option to go to. He's Kevin Turner,
Yep, he's Daniel Bayliss. I'm Michael Sarroy, right, I'm Kevin
Olturner. We talked masters early this morning. The Masters begins tomorrow, Augusta
National Golf Club, and we're gonna put together a doozy of a bet.
It's it's convoluted, if probably too much. It's one that we may have,
we may we may start this and it just make it confusing. I
don't know what's gonna happen, but we want to make it more fun than
ever before. We'll get to that in just a minute. The headlines that
you need to know for the Masters, which begin tomorrow in Augusta, Georgia.
Weather is a concern. There's nothing worse than being so pumped for the
f and Masters to start. And it's and especially to us, this job
is my first morning drive Masters. Yeah, first time where it's like I
get here and it's go time. Our heroes are on the course. There's
nothing worse than tomorrow morning if we get here and they start coverage and there's
nothing but rain. And that is the morning forecast for tomorrow and Augusta is
rain galore. We're full, Ricky Martined up over here, Aye ready to
go, and they're gonna give us what's become known as s Butt City.
Might be s but city. Now it looks like it'll just last Thursday first
half of the day. I do expect them. Hey, as we know,
we were sure that we're gonna have nothing of a cloud cover for this
damn eclipse, and the clouds broke. Even twenty four hour forecasts are not
necessarily accurate, so it might just drizzle, Maybe they get lucky, maybe
there's no interruption in play, But all signs do point to either a delay
in the beginning of the tournament tomorrow or sporadic play throughout. But after that,
it's gonna be cool. It's gonna be good. But yeah, a
good weekn finish fine, Yeah, it's gonna be good. Fight through the
early days of this. Yeah, So we figure, as we're wont to
do, we would place some sort of wager' on it. So this would
be your twenty twenty four Masters gambling bet party. Here's the rules. We're
picking seven golfers each okay. They each have to fit one of seven different
categories, and when you pick, you must declare which spot you're filling.
These seven categories are a PGA Tour member, oh easy, A live golf
member okay, a Texan oh someone's known either as a golfer from Texas or
that famously lives in Texas. Now an international anyone not from the United States,
Canadians count Corey Connors, counts a former champion, a long shot,
someone who's one hundred to one, and then a wildcard can be absolutely anyone.
Seven golfers for each of us. You have to fill those seven slots.
So we can't just go in in order of odds. We do have
a shot in front of us. With the odds and with the categories that
those golfers fall into. If they're a former champion, should say that next
to it, PGA Live, whatever it is Texan and we'll go off of
the payment they get for whatever place they get. Yep. And if you
miss the cut and golf, if you miss the cut, you get nothing,
right, zero moneys. Really you're in a hole because you had to
fly out there. So zero dollars if you miss the cut. If you
make it, if you're in first place, whatever the thing is made from
the safety pin? Yeah, yeah, is these live guys? You're like,
what's the deal with this purse? Someone did say that four hundred dollars
in eighteen seventy five that the man who admitted the safety pin got paid would
be the equivalent of eleven thousand dollars today. I saw it ranged from eleven
to fifteen thousand. Yeah, so by any metric, he got screwed.
Who will get screwed today? In the twenty twenty four Masters bet, what
are we playing for Kevin? We've determined after a long discussion that this will
involve food and it will involve feet. The loser of this bet will have
to send three tweets out, not on their own, though retweeting another,
preferably local celebrities tweet. I have my sight selling mayor Eric Johnson right now.
For whatever reason, you retweet somebody's existing tweet that is a local celebrity.
Yeah, and then it's a tweet of you, whether it's a short
video or stin image of you, and your foot is covered in foodt be
covered in food, barefoot and food. As a simple reply to a celebrities
tweet, I think one needs to be your foot being dipped into some mashed
potatoes. You don't get to determine that. I think one of them has
to be. You can do whatever you want, so imagine that feet and
food. Because we did have a lot of success with Kevin's lost bet,
where he had to retweets and simply write wood smash. Yeah, keep it
simple. That was funny. Long NFL bet where we have some wacky pair
These can be simple where we do a lot of bets. So it's not
like, I mean, we're having to pick seven people. They gotta fight.
This is already convoluted enough. I love it, but let's not convolute
the payoff. Let's make it tight. Okay, put your tootsies in a
bowl of yogurt. You are wasting valuable airtime after a Cynthia is a ghett
tweet. Okay, that's fine. That's an example of what you could do
barefoot and food as the photographic retweet three of them in a week. One
of them is going to require you cleaning your foot up. Okay, at
least one of them. All right, choose I'm the one who loses all
the bets. I don't know why you guys are so scared. Scared.
We're going to the spinner wheel. We will be doing a snake draft.
This spin is for the runner up. This will be the second pick in
the draft. Maddie, we turn my competer up. Spin is for the
second pick in the draft. Okay, oh boy, Kevin at seven is
really Kevin at two? All right, winner of this? This is for
what first pick? Or for the first pick in the draft? Okay,
come on, I'll take it. I need this big mind, damn it.
Yes, Mike is the one. All right, take draft Danny three.
I picked first pick second, Danny is third. It's a snake draft.
We have to choose seven golfers. They have to fit these categories.
PGA player, live player, a Texan and international, a former champion,
a long shot that's one hundred and to one or longer, or and a
wild card. I am first on the clock. I am choosing as my
Texan Scottie Scheffler, Scotty Schiffer, Texan. Okay, get I with the
number two pick. Jeez, I'm not a hard. I did not want
to end up with the number two pick. It is already hard. I
will do it. I will take as my international man. Got hit too
risky, No screw that, I'm taking as my international man. Hi,
Deki Matsuyama. I don't love it. I don't love it. Okay,
So we don't know how we're gonna melt down here with these rules. International.
Oh that's so hard to kill the ball, Danny, two picks.
This is good, Danny. Oh, it's so tough. I'll take Rory
as international. Okay, Rory's international. Mm hmm, I should have done
that. I'm already mad at this. Yeah, you already kind of I
love it, though, Danny, Okay, uh m hmmm. I'm gonna
take ram as my live oh live, um as you're live boy. That
hurt. I messed up big time, No wonder I can lose all these
bets. I make stupid decisions. That's terrible what I did. I feel
so stupid for doing that. You can screw other people in this game.
I like that. You're okay, I'm okay. I will go with the
Texan man. Damn it. This is so maddening to me because I fraid
of my guy. Okay, Texas man. Oh, Kevin, you're an
idiot. Will zalatorus will'salatore off the board as your Texan two again. We
have to choose seven golfers, one representing PGA, one live, one textan,
one international, one former champion, one long shot, and one wall
card. Okay, I fudged it. I have two picks. I will
take as my former champion. Jordan spied not as Texan A Texan, Yes,
as my former champion. I want Jordan Speed and that pot is getting
thin. So Mike is taking a Texan and a former champion. You took
xalatoris as your Texan. Okay that works right, Yeah, okay, now
no, it's me again. I will take as my PGA player Sanders Shaftley.
Dude, you jerk. I was going there. This is good,
dude, you have done so good. This is good. I'm gonna have
to show my feet to everyone. I do not love this. I mean,
I'm personally let's just keep going, guys super down on him. But
oh my god, I do not love this. I think he's gonna suck.
I think I'm not doing this one. I'm not doing that guy.
I'm not I'm not trusting him. I'm not doing it. It's a major
brooks Kopka, my live guy. I think he's gonna suck this week.
And I took him. I I screwed the poocher. I took him.
He's your PGA or lives Live will be my live player. Don't you're in
the middle of the draft and you're panicking. This is bad for your fans
to see Danny to act like it worked well. International live gone, Danny.
Okay, Mike screwed you by taking Speek too, so he did.
He's his former champion. He oh as my Texan. I'm taking Bryson.
Oh years, yes, wow, stop, that's too sexy, my friend.
I just can't do it. I can't do it when you're that sick.
That's my best friend. I tell you, the eclipse made me incredibly
horny. And now I'm mastered. I'm gonna go former and I'm going to
take John Rahm. Wait, you've already Tooken, taken him. I didn't.
I don't have rama. Here's your second pick, here's your golf.
Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I am so I'm sorry. Okay,
as internationals, I'm gonna take Joaquin Neeman. Okay, Joaquen Neeman International.
No, you've already taken an international. Oh I sure it did.
I'm sorry. You can take him as you took dude. I'm sorry.
I'm screwing this up. I need I need to fill PGA former long shots
in wild card. Correct, my bad? You just want to get a
former on there? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I am. I'm gonna
take Dustin Johnson his former Okay, there you go. I'm so sorry.
That's okay, DJ a former champion, and now I'm back to back to
me. Yes, Kevio Sanchez. See, I should have used Monts as
a former champion, and that's where I messed up. But that's okay.
I will now go to a place that I like to hang out. He's
never played here before. I don't know, he's never played here before,
but he's never won here before. And while I am fading him in my
private life, let's go ahead. No, screw it, I'm all in.
Let's go Victor. No, you tied the stat earlier. Screwed it.
I'm out on that. Now play the game, not the player.
Have I picked a live guy international? You got Hedeki internationals Alataurus Texas and
Brooksy live. Wyndham Clark is my PGA player. Wyndham Clark is your PGA
like it? I love it? Okay, I have two picks. You
have two picks, and you have not used a live guy yet. Thank
you. I will take as my live player Joaquin Neeman. I already took
him. You want right, I'm gonna get dunked on. So all I
need is an international, then a long shot, which is one hundred to
one or longer in a wild card. Right, Okay, boy, this
is this is something. This is different. This is confusing. I mean
an international long shot I will take as Yes, I will take as my
international player, Cameron Smith, Cam Smith International. Okay, now I got
former champion long shot, wild card, I will go. I can do
wild card now right, just wait till a while. Well, wild card.
Now I think I'm going to go with a guy who I don't really
think. Screw it. My team's so jacked up. Anyways, let's do
it. Tony Fen Now wild card. I don't think he can win,
but I do think it's a I think he can win, but I think
he can top five. It give me some money, Dandy, round five
your pick? Okay, I got PGA and wild card, correct and long
shot. But we'll do long shots last, I would imagine probably Okay,
Gody, somebody already took Hoblan. Now take Phil Hoblin. Is there,
Tiger, there's good players here, There is good players. There's a lot
of good players. Yeah, he wants to do this on want any excuses.
I'm gonna take. I'm gonna take. Uh I'm gonna take Hobland okay
as my PGA. Okay, I like that. I do like that.
Hoveland's gotten the toolbox No. Top fifteens in twenty twenty four. Victor Hovelin,
He's due, Danny, he is due. The snake comes back and
looks at it in the wild card is anything you want? Anything from anywhere?
Okay? Any think I probably should fill that up? Then give me
fat pat is the wild card? Wow? Fat pat Red Wow? Wow?
No, no, no, I'm sorry, he's not fat? I
mean, can't did you already? Pick? Can't lay there? My Pat
was cat can't wait? Patrick can't play, Not pat Reid not bad Danny's
wild card? Patrick can't play? All right? I like it, uh,
former champion. We are now juggling between Pat Reid. We are juggling
between Adam Scott, and we were juggling between Sergio Garcia and I gotta tell
you Sergio nifty around the greens. But pat Reid, what about Tiger?
What about Bubba? What about Pat Reid? Always seems to play pretty good
here, Sergio nifty around has been playing well. But no, I don't
trust either one of them. I trust and all see in honor of Greg
Chalmers, who once hit two people and his first two shots at the Masters.
I will pick Adam Scott as my former champion. I got the great
pick, Mike, you have two. This will wrap up your team.
You need a wild card and you need a long shot. That's a good
long shot. Thank you. As my long shot. I will select I
like so many, that's the that's my current kind of the most fun one
vjsing. It has to be or worse right, where is uh Russell Henley's
sixty to one? Well, if Russell Henley's looking at you, looking at
you, Max Homer, my suck. I'm gonna take you know what I
will take Sergio Garcia. Okay, long shot, that's a good long shot.
This is the final selection. This is me wild card selection. Wild
card could be anyone. And you have ober Jt. You have the ninth
favorite sitting there on the board for me, and I'm going to look past
him and I'm going to take Justin Thomas. I can't believe you just did
that as my uh card. Where you can pick absolutely anyone, Kevin,
who did you take? Adam Scott is my former champion former So this leaves
me with a long shot, my long shot. Looking at it, I
would have considered Sergio. I don't kind of like what you did there,
thank you. I absolutely hate the form of sung Jay m I'm m oh
boy the stuff Nick Taylor, Phil, I mean, Phil, is there?
You finished second last year second? But I think in days like this
you can't. You gotta go with your gut here. And I just love
the ball striking ability of the right and I do mean decent Chris Kirk.
Really Chris Kirk, boy, I want to back off that go on?
Yeah, okay, and last with long shot, Uh yeah, cat change
that to Taylor Moore. Absolutely, Taylor Moore is my my long show.
I like that a lot better. And we'd like to congratulate Chris Kirk for
winning the Masters. And I'm taking the picture of my foot would be my
foot into my own ass. Look Tiger is tempting, Oh dude, Yes,
I kind of would love to have him represented in this. I also
think that he already took surge. I think Ricky Fowler is interesting. Yeah,
but I'm going with old lefty fail till till you went through a drive
through in your green jacket. It's time to hit an RBS way home,
Guys, I've added an eighth, an eighth golfer to the board. We
all get Tiger on the team. Okay, we all get Tiger no matter
what. Sex it up a little bit. That's funny. This Okay that
I was busy, hard and hard, but I think that's a pretty cool
way to do it. It's fun brilliant. The categories are all there.
I love that I got Dustin Johnson, Mike love it go, Scottie Scheffler,
Jordan Speith, Xander Schoffley, Joke Neeman, Cam Smith, Sergio and
Justin Thomas. It's a team of winners. I went Matsiyama, Zalatoris,
Koepka, Wyndham Clark, Tony fenw Adam Scott, Taylor Moore, Danny Rory,
Rom Bryce and d Schambeau, Dustin Johnson, Victor Hovlin, Patrick Cantley
and Phil Mickelson. Straight up, Manda Man, I think Mike has the
best team, but I kind of think it ended up being a little closer
than I thought at the end. Now that I'm looking at it, you
think you've saved your draft with your late back half. I don't think I
got the guy that's gonna win it, but I think I got a team
that could accrue lots of moneys. Dude, it's the Masters. Anything.
I'm sorry, it's the Masters. Anything can happen. We've seen it year
in, year out. Expect the unexpected. I love what you just did
there. I love what we all did. That was an Master's draft,
and we will see what happened. I think Kevin probably has to the average
golf viewer probably has the most obscure team. I would say, right,
yeah, you could have taken ram As You're international right out of the gate.
I know I screwed up. I told you I didn't have a great
plan. I messed up, and you could have gone former champion Matsam if
you want to do that or ROMs for me. I folded under pressure,
and I often did that. We'll see what happens. You don't, you
don't. You rise up under pressure and you shine. I just see the
brightest lights are on. I see top four odds makers and Kevin doesn't have
any of them, true, and you and I each have two. Mm
hm, that's very good. All right, let's see what happens. I
just don't want to have after retweet. We'll post him up at Katie fun
tweets. Make sure you follow out Mike Siroy. Get in on that Listener
League little contest that we put up for you as well. You can play
