00:00you and the boston red sox uh the red sox with a series winning ball game yesterday and how about
00:07that sunny gray right sunny gray six and a third yesterday three hits i mean they look good right
00:13he's looked good as uh his past couple of outings other than his first one he's looked pretty good
00:18turn around mego you were there i was there yes how was the uh how was the crowd well i
00:26mean i
00:26spent most of the time indoors i'm not gonna lie it's cold for me it's sunny and but chilly like
00:33i
00:34was in the suite watching through the windows but i i saw some stuff online about hey with the park
00:40is
00:40not that full to that i would say i mean it's a getaway day it's april and it was 40
00:48degrees
00:48it was at 1 30 in the afternoon on a work day yeah so you'd say it's more the weather
00:54than it is the performance of the baseball team of i'm sure it doesn't help that they went into
00:59the day with three with three wins but like is that ever a packed house on that kind of day
01:04i don't
01:05know you were there so did it did it not look that packed no it didn't it was sunny though
01:09yeah sunny
01:10and sunny it was a great day i prefer it being a great day please it was great but sunny
01:15it was
01:15great but sunny yes yes yes i i mean unless that game's played during april vacation it's not going
01:20to be full exactly yeah so like i mean i don't think most kids around here either have days off
01:26in march or they have days off in a week and a half for the you know april vacation so
01:30it looked
01:30decent i mean i don't there is there is a reflective uh desire of a lot of socks fans that
01:36i respect
01:37which is to just denigrate anything related to the team and make john henry look bad but yesterday
01:42was not one that you could do that plus it's too cold for the kids to skip
01:46i think warmer weather i think there's a portion of the population that they they keep hoping that
01:53socks fans will stop going and that that will have some sort of an effect on uh how they how
01:59they
01:59operate the baseball franchise and i don't but that's never gonna happen i don't think it's ever
02:04gonna happen people just want to feel like they have influence because they care about it so much
02:09and the truth is you don't yeah you really don't you don't and it's fenway park i think like that's
02:15the biggest thing it seems like and we've had this conversation before the field the the stadium
02:19is so historic it people just go there for you know the tours and just being in the ballpark where
02:26you know some of these other newer stadiums doesn't have that same nostalgia so it seems like john
02:32henry probably knows that people are always going to flood to fenway you know especially when the
02:37weather's warm they want to take the selfies there they want to be you know and the the ballpark
02:43that ted williams played in babe ruth it's just like people but the way that people get their
02:47sort of revenge on john henry isn't fenway park it's the nesson subscription that's where they make
02:53their money and that's what's relying on the team to be winning because the rsn was a huge component
02:59to the red sox valuation with nesson exploding along with yes network well that's because they charge you
03:0430 bucks a month for no programming right you know 1986 red sox reruns and you know 1988 bruins
03:12reruns people are not gonna but that's where people that's where they lose their make their
03:15money is on those on in the tv realm or streaming realm have you seen how complicated it will be
03:24to watch every hole of the masters this weekend but when when you look at every different platform
03:32and the way things are spread out on so it's like almost like the ncaa and basketball where it's like
03:37a million different channels it's on yes yes it is for instance and and we're uh an hour and a
03:44half
03:45away from the first pairing at the masters which is i cannot wait for and it's the best weekend of
03:51the
03:51one of the best weekends of the of the sports here but um if you want to watch starting now
03:57up until
03:587 30 you can only watch on masters.com and then 7 30 to noon it's masters.com and paramount
04:07plus
04:08noon to 2 it's amazon amazon prime and then 2 to 6 30 it's espn and then on the weekend
04:17it's a
04:18combination of masters.com paramount plus and then cbs for the for the uh the frugal so i i i
04:28just i understand it and i i know it's an old man thing but it's not could it just be
04:34because
04:34somehow could these things just be happening on one single platform it's not an old man thing even
04:40even two nights ago whatever it was when there were three games happening at the same time so you
04:45had red socks bruins celtics you can't just flip over at a channel at a at a um commercial break
04:52you have to close out of one thing and then remember okay no that's on nessum that's on nessum
04:57360 so let me close out the youtube tv go over to the nessum 360 oh i'm signed out of
05:03this oh crap i
05:04need to text somebody a code because i'm actually stealing this from somebody else's password so now
05:10let me get into this oh by the time oh now they're in an intermission so let me go back
05:14to the celtics
05:15game what is that on is it espn or is it nbc sports boston tonight like it's impossible to watch
05:22more than one game at a time or even now they're on what are they on nbc uh basketball on
05:27thursday
05:27nights don't they do a thursday night sunday nights yeah so it's like yeah it is all over that is
05:32the
05:32that's the most annoying part is you have to close out everything i mean i don't suffer from that
05:37problem but god forbid that you're not signed into the other thing yeah how'd you bet it shine
05:44so i took a uh long shot flyer on team rose to win uh last stand kind of it for
05:51him the big thing
05:52with the masters is coming in you have to have good form experience on the course and be relatively
05:57consistent overall with your play like those are the three key factors and you want to dominate
06:01brimmer in may yeah exactly uh so i uh i like team rose is my one bet that i've made
06:06so far to win the
06:07whole thing but i've sprinkled a few uh first day leader bets on guys like bryson ludwig and uh cam
06:15young i i went john rom i like it you like it yeah yeah i think rom's been playing so
06:24arguably
06:24statistically if you want to be a nerd about it he's been playing the best golf on the planet so
06:28far
06:28this year and that generally is a good sign heading into the masters yeah and it's it's crazy because
06:33nobody normally at least the last couple years right leading into the masters
06:37there's there's been one guy that has been absolutely dominant in uh play leading up to
06:43the first major of the year it was scotty in 23 and 20 or 22 and 24 rom in 23
06:50and then rory last year
06:51winning the players and then coming right into the masters and kicking butt there so but this year
06:55there isn't that one dominant guy so it's going to be kind of an interesting field for everybody what
06:59about uh uh a make the cut bet on our guy freddie couples three to one oh he was close
07:06last year
07:06he was or i mean yeah i to me i i feel like this is going to be scheffler runaway
07:12he's had been like
07:12not having his best start to the golf year but he is so he's the best golfer by a wide
07:18margin he is and
07:19i think it's the first time in like 15 years curtis this is your lane but first time in 15
07:26years that
07:26will there won't be no rain whatsoever it's come but the forecast is completely dry so yes spieth was
07:32saying that they might let the greens go and they might get pretty fast so uh this could be a
07:36really
07:36fun interesting tournament you're right watch out those greens are gonna let them go smoking that's
07:42augusta georgia right yes no man you will you you will not watch remind me you will not watch a
07:48single hole i will not watch a single second of the masters on any one of those platforms i don't
07:53know how you don't i don't understand i just don't watch golf brother i know thank you
07:58are you with me mego either i like the ambiance of the masters but i don't well that's being ruined
08:05by jason kelsey if we if we okay are we gonna go there yes we are gonna go there because
08:10i don't
08:11understand why he needs to be there like why is jason kelsey a big golf guy no he's not a
08:15big golf
08:16guy i am so kelsey'd out same like but you want you you won't watch that much either they've had
08:22two original thoughts between them yeah yeah i won't watch it like on purpose i'm sure it'll be
08:28on all weekend i'm sorry you don't find it compelling at all when it's like uh close in the
08:35fourth on the final round with like three holes left like last year rory trying to win the grand
08:39slam did you watch that yeah i watched it but i didn't really care it was like more intrigued like
08:45what's gonna happen you get into the olympics when it's on like swimming or things yeah i do like in
08:50the moment i'll be like oh this is cool and i know the backstories and everything i don't follow
08:55golf i it's just not for me yeah i don't i don't play golf nope there is it's just there's
09:02it's like
09:02you can't really dip a toe into it you got to be into it no you gotta you it's something
09:06that you
09:06gotta be in my opinion you gotta be passionate about to watch it you know i just watch the masters
09:10and the majors like i'm not into it at all really i just i just love that you know watching
09:14the masters
09:15is just like i don't know it's like one of the great things in the world yeah i mean it's

10:18my world and uh walking back across the nelson bridge with a very full grateful heart the way
10:24that men talk about the masters gives me the ick so it's so annoying it's like listening to that
10:31it's it's just like it almost is like they look down upon you it's like wait a second you don't
10:36watch the masters it's like do you watch like it's like this thing that you have to write a passage
