| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Early Wedge Best Bet Show. I am your host, D.C. This is the most exciting week of the year, and we are glad to have you with us. There is so much to talk about. |
| 0:21.9 | We have so many picks on this show and we have two guys that are on site and gosh am I jealous. |
| 0:28.0 | So let's bring them in right now. We have C. I Najat who is not on site. He's somewhere in the |
| 0:33.1 | what belt lay, I believe. But two guys in Augusta, Georgia, Patrick McDonald and Jason Sobel. |
| 0:39.5 | And gentlemen, uh, Sobel, we're going to start with you. |
| 0:42.2 | You, uh, you went viral this morning with it with a tweet that has at, as of now, |
| 0:49.0 | 2,700 likes. |
| 0:50.9 | What was it and why is it so true? |
| 0:54.0 | All right. First of all, you see 2700. That's not viral. That's nothing. |
| 0:59.2 | Some of us. I'm kidding. What did I say? I said something about this is the only place you will ever go. |
| 1:06.6 | And I know some people jumped in the mentions with like, what about a game seven of the Stanley Cup? Okay. Whatever. Fine. It's the only place you'll ever go where, first of all, everyone's exactly where they want to be at that moment. You had Disney World. There's crying kids. There's angry parents. You go to a family wedding and there's cousins of cousins who are like, I don't want to be here right now. You go to the Masters at Augustine National and everyone is exactly where they want to be. And they're talking to each other. They're interacting. There's no phones. There's no devices. It's one of the things. One of the many things that I love about this place and this week. Patrick, what's your favorite part of being on site other than the golf itself? |
| 1:47.0 | Wow, definitely no phones. |
| 1:50.0 | It's just, it is just amazing. |
| 1:54.0 | Like Jason said, people are just forced to talk to one another and you can't do that awkward thing where you look down at your phone when you're |
| 2:01.7 | not in that conversation you're forced to be a human i remember last year when when rory was kind |
| 2:07.7 | of thrown it away and rose was charging and people were playing the game of telephone because |
| 2:13.3 | we weren't by a leaderboard of what was going on. Like, that just hit, like, crack, honestly. |
| 2:18.8 | I've been waiting to get that back ever since. |
| 2:22.3 | Definitely no phones, number one. |
| 2:24.0 | I think every golf event should do it. |
| 2:25.6 | I know they used to, too, back when I was a wee lad. |
| 2:29.9 | I remember my dad or my buddy's dad got caught in congressional for the AT&T National for bringing a phone in. |
