05:32in first at seven under scotty scheffler is struggling at the corwell health sports desk i'm jeremy

05:37out for more good at 97 on the ticket or odyssey.com

05:54okay it's the masters everyone's gonna watch it even if you're fringe about golf or don't care at

06:00all like me it's just it's a wonderful event so with that we're gonna do a little masters blitz evan

06:05is joining us david a tradition like no other hello friends okay so what would you like this

06:14time we're gonna go through some things there'll be some questions there'll be some uh trivia since

06:18evan is joining us he should know a lot about the masters we think so let's start here because

06:24there's a question within this they're gonna make 70 million dollars in merchandise

06:30oh this week 10 million a day it's not bad 1 million per hour 16k each minute 277 dollars

06:38every second oh my god but within that a question i have for you evan because the gnomes are very

06:46popular they're gonna sell a thousand gnomes they're available per day like garden gnomes oh yeah

06:51gnomes they're available per day at 59 50 as a 10 increase why are these so popular it's the hottest

06:59thing there it's the most exclusive thing that you can get there so your garden gnome is better

07:04than anybody else's because you got it from the masters absolutely and they change every year rico

07:08so it's not like the 2020 version is the same as this year it's an exclusivity thing just like

07:15anything but it's a garden gnome it's pretty cool i don't think i would display that because

07:19go on ebay and see how much those things are they do this with kentucky derby bottles so woodford

07:24reserve is the official like kentucky derby bottle they have a local artist do a bottle

07:29so you got to get it in the window that it's available or it's gone and then you get hyenas

07:34trying to sell it for a lot more money later it's the same thing i would be said hi you

07:38know by the

07:38way okay no if you're lucky enough to get in yeah and i had a buddy that went down there

07:44they said it

07:44was like cedar point lines to navigate through that store this thing yeah dude it's just a garden

07:50no but wait wait last year's is 500 bucks 100 this year 950 each yeah that's a good profit or

07:58you

07:59can get it for uh 730 on ebay all right and it's just a get one of those guy you

08:05know look great

08:07out front this is okay welcoming i'd rather get a chance to get in there one in 200

08:17one in 200 chance of winning to get a ticket you have to apply a year in advance yep and

08:24the ticket

08:25prices went up from 140 to 160 this year which is not bad but you still got to get a

08:30chance to buy

08:31that yeah i was doing the math you got to think okay so you get the tickets that's reasonably priced

08:35right but then you got to fly there you got to fly back probably got to get a hotel i

08:39would imagine

08:41and hotels there aren't cheap they said that they were renting houses for the week for six figures

08:46around the golf course i absolutely i can see that i i totally believe that that's look i know it's

08:52a

08:52separate topic but whether it's the masters the super bowl the kentucky derby some of these like

08:56legacy events are becoming so unreachable or even if you can do it it's such a pain in the ass

09:02you

09:02choose not to do it i was about to say you could probably do the same not as much but

09:06like for the

09:06dream crews here just you know what you can have the house i'm leaving i'm going on vacation oh

09:11you're right absolutely not for a hundred thousand dollars no yeah dude get you one right you wouldn't

09:18put it outside no that's my point if they're they're an indoor decoration imagine if the kid

09:23imagine if the kid broke that i bet you there's some very wealthy folks that have those out front of

09:28their home or their second home or third home for sure uh let's get to a couple questions here for

09:35you trivia here oh regarding some uh facts in 1997 we all know who won the masters right

09:42uh elder woods yes sure first one tiger were red but evan what did he open up the front half

09:52of his

09:52first round with oh wasn't he like three or four over he had a that was before yeah so four

10:36oh did he go to hooters no chick-fil-a waffle house he did go to waffle house yes i

13:00after yeah yeah yeah they call it like butler's cabin or something just hanging out man it's

13:07ridiculous and to that point they're called patrons and i call fans there i hate that call them a fan

13:12i hate that why evan are they are there rules here running is forbidden yeah backwards hats are

13:21forbidden keep it orderly man i'm out denim is discouraged absolutely this is mike's dream

13:27no cell phone no phones as well as no why is it like this well they want to keep an

13:36orderly thing

13:37going respect so that's why that's why i'm not allowed their respect it's a bit you know tiger

13:44ruined it for everybody it's probably a bit much but you got to appreciate the no phones we'd like to

13:53spotlight the singular black fan at this event no phones no denim no blacks that's the way it is i'll

14:02be at a nascar van next week oh goodness evan could you name the single round masters scoring record

14:13how is that not a chapelle skit back in 64 nah 63 oh and it's tied by greg norman and

14:29is all right i know who nick van excel will oh sweet cincinnati legend oh yeah i bet you he

14:37liked

14:37skyline chili okay can we please well speaking of skyline chili let's talk about a guy that is from

14:43the state of ohio and that is jack nicholas oh who holds the record for most masters wins at six

14:52how many runner-ups does he have evan oh isn't it like eight or something i was gonna say 12

14:57it's a

14:58big number i know that also did you see his t-shot three it's four is it four he doesn't

15:05win

15:06that's it well hold on he's the danny hurley could have had a double digit didn't they have one of

15:11those

15:11sad old man t-shots a couple years ago and he almost killed somebody that was this year that was

15:17yeah the other day this was years ago no i remember that when it was the guy looked like

15:22the crib keeper i'm pretty sure his hip blew out of socket swinging the club he damn near hit a

15:26kid

15:26in the head watch this year's was it was a jack yeah he was 90 this year gotta stop he

15:32almost failed

15:33come on what are we doing yeah enough is enough what are we doing his hat like uh jimmy dugan

15:39and then

15:39call it a day oh good reference thank you okay that tradition has to end they have to stop trotting

15:46out the old guys at the first tee they have to stop once they're incapable of swinging a golf club

15:52without

15:52potentially murdering someone yeah it's you're done it gets very uncomfortable and then final

15:59one here the green jacket everyone knows goes to the winner evan who was the first one to start that

16:05tradition um bob green i don't know that answer what oh i thought maybe that's why he wore a green

16:12jacket sam sneed isn't that the guy who damn near killed i think sam what year did sam sneed die

16:18um

16:19oh it could you saying it could have been him later on with the tradition i think it was him

16:23and he like

16:24died the next year jeez the things you remember about golf i i know evan it's not it's not my

16:31thing

16:32there's a famous video of a lady on tour that hits a person tease it up hits the same person

16:38again i

16:38remember that and you hear the person say stop doing it she hits her twice the same person while

16:45she's having aid being done to her it's wild god that that's unbelievable like reading like i just saw

16:53like it was a story somebody found one of the green jackets at like some thrift sale and bought it

16:59and

16:59had no idea what it was just thought it was a green jacket no and just wore it casually on

17:03find out they end up selling it for like six figures maybe they could buy a few gnomes

17:08there's an interesting fact about the green jacket is that you win it you can wear it wherever you want

17:14that year and then it stays there and then it stays there you can only wear it there on the

17:19course

17:20can't take it home no you get you can get like a replica but not everyone absolutely

17:26tradition man you won the event you won the event you won the event you didn't win that jacket for

17:32good what nonsense so i have to then go out and buy a replica jacket we don't need you wearing
