There's no place to hang out. I'll wash him and then that can name all on the son.

Oh no, we're going to rock down to electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher.

Oh, we're gonna run down to any bar. Welcome to part of my take today is Monday, April 10th.

and Jon Rahm is your Masters champion.

Fuck!

Whoa.

Whoa.

You took the Brooks loss pretty hard.

That was too loud.

Holy shit.

Was that too loud?

That was way too loud.

That scared me, dude.

I thought Max was saying fuck

because he forgot to record something.

That was Jake, yeah.

That was Jake saying fuck.

Oh, because he had to say it.

Yeah.

That sounded like a Max.

Oh my God.

I scared the shit.

Are we able to turn that down

or are people gonna shit themselves in the morning?

That was our darling Jake fulfilling a promise

because Greeny was rooting all in for Jon Rahm.

Everything he's got, he said.

Everything he's got, which is a lot.

And so our darling Jake, to combat that,

said that he would say the F-bomb if Jon Rahm won.

And Jon Rahm won.

And Jon Rahm was fantastic.

He was exceptional.

It's hard to root for a guy like that.

I did, again, I think it may be,

I might have to like go to rehab or something.

The Brian Wynhorse LeBron tweet,

I was just thinking every time he hit it off the tee

and he is so strong because he is,

it's like a shotgun goes off when he hits off the tee.

He's so good.

He's so good.

When he's a big boy.

I would say that he's like,

he becomes an assassin when he locks in.

Well, oh, so I went and looked up some fun Jon Rahm stats

because we obviously have known about him.

He's won a major before.

He's like, I don't know.

Is he number two?

I think he might be two behind Scotty Shankler.

I think Schaeffler's one, Rahm's two,

but Rahm was playing,

he didn't play like his best golf leading in this tournament,

but he was still only plus 900 to win.

Yeah, he's got the notebook in his back pocket

that says Rambo, which just rules.

Yeah, big ass.

Yeah, huge, huge, huge dude.

The dude has an ass that won't quit.

So he has a mental coach.

Yeah.

And his mental coach used to be a bomb disposal expert.

Yep.

That is the coolest thing you could ever do

is find a mental coach and not be like,

oh, this is my favorite.

He was basically Jeremy Renner and Hurt Locker.

And he tells you how to be calm when you're coming up,

you know, the back nine at the Masters

trying to put the green jacket on once and for all.

Joseba Del Carmen is the dude's name.

And so apparently when they started working together,

Rahm wanted to fix his temper

because he has all these outbursts

or used to have these outbursts on the course.

And the bomb disposal guy was like,

let's just not talk about golf.

Let's just talk about your normal temper.

And then hopefully that will carry over

into the course.

That's genius though.

Having like a bomb disposal,

that's probably the best person in the world

to talk to about remaining calm.

Yes.

I mean, John Rahm is a guy

that everyone should want to root for

because he seems like a very cool guy,

calm guy because of the bomb disposal guy.

Also, fun fact about John Rahm,

his swing is the shortest on the PGA Tour

because he was born with a disfigured foot

and one of his legs is shorter than the other.

That's interesting.

He doesn't have ankle strength.

Yeah.

Does that give him like a better approach?

I don't know,

but I feel like this is now going to be a fad

where, you know,

the Hanks of the world start like, you know,

shortening one of their legs to get the John Rahm swing.

Tiger almost did that unintentionally.

Well, should we talk about Tiger real quick?

Because I-

Well, let's give John Rahm his flowers.

John Rahm deserves all the flowers.

He was phenomenal.

He shot-

The second best golfer in the history of Arizona State

behind Phil Mickelson.

Yes.

Tim Mickelson, his brother was John Rahm's coach.

Yes.

College coach and first agent.

Another fun fact about John Rahm,

did he learn how to speak English?

He said he dispelled this little bit, yes.

By listening to Eminem.

Yeah.

By learning Eminem songs.

So that probably led to him having to get somebody

who's like a bomb disposal technician

to teach him how to keep his temper quiet.

Yeah.

I read an article that was basically like,

John Rahm, the media ran with it

after his first win in like 2017.

And he's like, well, not really.

That's not really how I did it,

but I'd listened to some-

No, the other part was Tim Mickelson,

Phil's brother, coach, used to make John Rahm

and one of the other teammates

who both were Spanish speaking,

do 10 burpees every time they said a word in Spanish.

Which seems like the athletics

gonna write a takedown piece on that retroactively.

Yeah, I don't know.

But it worked.

Beat it out of them.

Yeah, right.

So yeah, John Rahm, phenomenal, phenomenal Sunday.

It was his dad's-

30 holes.

His dad passed away, I think,

but it was his dad's birthday today.

Okay.

And there are certain things that we should be informed

of before tournaments start,

so we can figure out who's gonna be the team of destiny

or the golfer of destiny.

Knowing that it was going to be his father's birthday

on Sunday, I would have liked to known that.

Also, I would have liked to known

the fact that his caddie got that number.

I think he was number 49.

It's four nine today.

Yup.

That's another fun fact that Jim Nance

brought up several times,

how that ties in with his dad.

And also, he just had a kid.

So he's got two kids now.

One of which is less than a year old.

I would have liked to known about

before I decided who to bet on,

because it's always a golfer with an infant

that wins at the Masters.

Yes, yes.

And it also is the 40 year anniversary

of Seve Ballesteros winning the Masters.

Would have liked to known that.

Fellow Spaniards, Spain, kind of a dynasty in Masters now.

I think they have six.

Yeah.

So they're-

Most Masters.

They're running rough shot on everyone else.

Agatha.

Agatha.

But yeah, it was, John Rahm was phenomenal.

30 holes because of the weather on Sunday.

He was just like unflappable,

because obviously we'll get to the part

where we were rooting for Brooks.

We bet on Brooks.

We also wanted Brooks to win because he's a friend.

And John Rahm just gave him no,

like Brooks played bad.

Brooks choked a lot of, I don't want,

I'm going to say Patrick Cantley really choked.

Patrick Cantley played slower than anyone's ever played

in the entire history of golf.

And Brooks is a tempo guy.

He's a tempo guy.

Yeah.

There was actually a moment where Victor Hovland

was already walking up the fairway,

because he's like,

I can't wait for Patrick Cantley anymore.

Yeah.

Pretty sure you're not supposed to do that.

So Brooks, tough Sunday.

Everyone will make the joke.

The Liv joke, 54 holes.

Liv actually had a great showing

because they think that what they have tied,

they had Phil and Brooks tied for second.

Patrick Reed was top five.

He made a little run later.

Was there someone else who was top five from Liv?

I believe so.

Either way, the Liv showed out.

Liv showed out, but Brooks.

So some may call it a choke.

Others, like us, will say there was a divine intervention

at play.

I alluded to this on Twitter,

but we had maybe the greatest jinx of all time

by someone in this room.

Well, yeah, there was that.

Does someone want to,

does someone want to fess up?

Because people, when I tweeted,

one of the greatest jinxes of all time

happened on the PMT group chat on Saturday.

Most of the replies were saying it's Max,

or it was Billy, or goddammit Jake,

why would you say that?

Who would like to stand up and put their hand up

as the person who did this?

You know what, Big Cat?

I'd like to be the bigger man in this situation

and say that I played a part in it.

Okay, no, you didn't.

I played a part in it.

No, no, who did it?

I'd like to just take some responsibility for it,

and then we'll see if anybody-

Same, if we're all gonna take blame, I'll get it.

Go ahead, go ahead.

Who did it?

No, good point, Hank.

All right, I'll just read the text.

This is on Saturday,

after they suspended play for the day.

I just hope I get a second to explain myself after.

Are you admitting it was you?

Oh, for those of you who-

You're the person, yeah.

If you just started to listen to part of my take

in the last two weeks,

and you might not recognize that voice,

that's Hank Lockwood, back from his vacation.

Yes, who-

Someone like hurt both of you on vacations

when you were kids,

and I'm gonna get to the bottom of it,

because I feel bad.

There's something that scars you guys

just when the V word comes up.

No, we just gotta keep the lights on here.

We're just grinding.

I was gone too.

I don't know why all the attention's going to Hank.

We're grinding grinders.

Oh, you were celebrating Passover too.

It was religious observance.

If I had jinxed Brooks the way Hank did,

I'd be equally as mad at you for your vacation.

So-

This is dramatic.

Dramatic?

Dramatic.

You said traumatic.

It was traumatic.

It is traumatic.

Your brain wasn't on again.

You showed up and you hadn't turned your brain back on.

You were in sleep mode.

Hank texted this after his play was suspended on Saturday.

Brooks had a four-stroke lead.

He said,

the question is would Brooks come on on Sunday

or would it be more likely he come on Tuesday

if it gets delayed and they have to finish Monday?

Pretty presumptuous of you.

Pretty presumptuous of you.

You basically had already-

You crowned him.

Yeah, no, he had tailored his green jacket.

He was like, well, this is set perfect.

We got our guests Monday.

Brooks is on.

Hank was like, do you think all the other live golfers

that greeted Brooks on the 18th green

to celebrate his green jacket,

hmm, thoughts?

I think it's dramatic.

Listen, I made a mistake.

I was probably thinking a little bit too far ahead

of myself.

You think?

But one, we were talking about merch.

So we were planning shirts for if you won.

Shirts, I understand.

My head, no.

Shirts, I understand.

It's understandable, but I'm just,

again, if you let me speak without interruption,

it'd be nice.

Don't confuse the listeners with shirts

because merch-

I'm trying to explain myself.

We have to have a shirt ready to go

if Brooks had won

because we can't come up with a shirt in five seconds.

We have to plan that out.

No shit all had to do with shirts before.

You are proving my point.

But don't muddy the waters.

I'm just explaining myself.

Keep them separate.

No, it's the same.

No, they're not.

I was going through the process of thinking of shirts,

thinking of ideas of if you won.

So I was thinking of him winning.

So yes, that was the headset mind space I was in.

And then I did, I was like, oh yeah.

Because in that conversation, it was like,

these are different options for if you win.

So I was like, oh, he's going to win.

No, I wonder when he would come on.

The rain stops.

I was like, he probably wouldn't come on Sunday

because the Masters is a lot coming on.

If you were to-

That's not what you said.

No, no, you said,

do you think he would want to come on on Sunday?

You're directly-

All right, just forget it.

All right, fine.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I fucked up.

I'm the reason Brooks blew it like four,

he had a bad Sunday.

No, no, no.

It's all my fault.

You're explaining yourself.

Sorry you lost your bet, big cat.

No, no, no.

I'm so happy to be back.

Excuse me, Hank.

I'm also in this room.

Oh, sorry.

No, keep going.

That doesn't sound like you're sorry.

We're just correcting things

that you're deliberately getting wrong

because it wasn't, you weren't saying,

oh, he might, like, we've got to see-

I was explaining my headspace.

I wasn't saying what I said.

No, it's fine.

I fucked up.

I'm sorry.

No, no, keep going.

I thought Brooks was going to win.

I made a mistake.

I sent a wrong text message.

Jinx the whole thing.

It's all my fault.

What about the fact that you also don't believe

weather's real?

And then weather reared its ugly head on Saturday.

They should've just played through.

Well, I agree with that.

I think that big weather had a part in this.

If they didn't have fake trees,

it wouldn't have been a problem.

Yeah, so here's the thing.

Is big weather wanted,

where, might you ask Brian Windhorst's face,

where is the weather channel located?

Huh, it's right outside Augusta.

Do you think that maybe they wanted more ratings

on the weather channel?

Oh, what would do that?

Maybe a big storm coming through Augusta,

potentially suspending play.

Just something to think about.

I think the trees are rigged to fall.

Control demolition.

Hank, I am that one guy who like,

I know that you could, I guess die,

but like, dude, you could sue them forever.

I'd basically be like, I'm in the tournament every year.

That's my, those are my offer.

Oh yeah, no, as far as hitting the jackpot goes

in terms of lawsuits, having a tree hit you at Augusta,

that's the dream.

Yes, Hank, I accept your apology.

And I also would like to say,

if Brooks had played well on Sunday and lost by a stroke,

he didn't, he did not play well.

It's, that's the matter of the fact here.

Like he didn't play well.

So it can't be, a text can't have caused what happened.

Okay.

But you did have a part.

And I apologize.

A small part.

Yep.

Everything turned.

Everything turned.

Everything turned for Brooks.

Literally from that moment on.

Now, shout out Brooks.

He did play, he played really well Thursday,

Friday and Saturday before Hank texted us.

Yeah, that's true.

He was awesome.

He was on fire.

We were designing shirts.

Yeah, we were designing shirts.

We were ready to crowd him.

Which we have to do.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Trying to make money for the company here.

But yeah, Brooks, Brooks did not play well

down the stretch.

That sucked.

We wanted him to win.

It would have been cool.

Especially like, just the idea of Brooks not playing

in the PGA Tour, but just showing up

and like ripping off one or two majors a year

would be awesome.

Yeah, in fact, if he had won this and then, you know,

he seems like he's back.

Brooks is back to playing old school Brooks golf

until Sunday happened.

As long as Hank doesn't send him more texts.

As long as Hank keeps his name out of his lips.

It's, it would be very funny to have Brooks

making a hundred million dollars to play in tournaments

he doesn't give a shit about.

Yeah.

And then showing up and still dominating the rest

of like the PGA.

Yeah.

When it came to the majors.

But he played well for the most part before,

before the weather delay.

And then the course just, it didn't agree with his game.

He was also fucking up his tee shots.

His first tee shot in his last round today.

That's, that's when it was over.

When he found himself hitting out of the wrong fairway

on the first hole.

That's my move, Brooks.

Yeah.

I'm an expert at doing that.

I hit 70% of my second shots out of the wrong fairway.

It's hit up the other fairway.

Then you got a perfect spot.
