It is the Beating the Book podcast, the 89th Masters, a tradition unlike any other.

Skill Alexander, thanks for listening.

We have a storied history on this podcast with this event, and by storied, I mean some years we don't do it just randomly. I don't know why that is. But lately we've been doing it. You know what? As long as I am here, Gil, we will do this every year now, all right? Wow. Wow. There we go. Let's write that down. Rack it. As Rome used to say, by the way, that's the voice of Matt Brown, one of the three, one third.

I believe those are the percentages.

33% of the long shots crew.

This podcast, the beating of the book podcast with Matt and Kelly Bidlin, another third of long shots, is just a sort of preamble to the actual Masters Longshots podcast, which is happening. It's recording tomorrow, Tuesday of Masters Week. Well, I have answers for this. Oh, you do? Yeah, yeah. And it will be out thereafter. Ask me like you did on a numbers game this morning. Okay. Hey, Kelly, Bidlin. When are you guys recording your Longshots podcast?

So here's the thing. At 1115 a.m. Pacific time on Tuesday. Okay, we're going to sit down here

right at the desk. Myself, Matt Brown, West Reynolds, the whole Long Shots group, we're going to be

on YouTube live. Oh. But we are going to record an hour-long show that will then be replayed overnights on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning heading into the tournament. Oh. Matt's just learning this for the first time. Yeah. I just learned it like an hour ago. Okay. There it is. All right. I show you a text. Information has been passed along.

So by the way, if anybody wants to see how, what it looks like when we record a show at Vison,

oh, YouTube live tomorrow, you're going to get a little sneak peek. And you're doing it from this studio.

Yep. Oh, very cool. And they're replaying it on the network. No cursing then.

Correct.

Correct.

No cursing.

Gil, we had a, we had a long shots about three weeks ago where Kelly just out of nowhere, F-bombed.

Just like, just like, just like, casually is all get out too.

Just just F-bombed.

And I go, you know what?

Leave it in there.

We're leaving it in there.
