The NLU Podcast Ep 1135: Greatest Masters Draft

This was a great pod. Loved the reactions from the boys about the judges.

I love how it went from “the judges won’t know whose picks belong to which person” to them finishing the draft and cutting to Soly saying we changed the whole format and the judges listened to the audio.
Once again, nobody feels bad for TC.

“Ray Flord” put that on the Mount Rushmore of Neil’s mispronunciations

I unfortunately must say that Ray Flord is now a permanent part of how I talk

Not hate! I love Mars Volta, but some of their catalogue is too much. Technically amazing and unique but just doesn’t sound very good.

My judging based upon the “we’ve retired to the sitting room after a nice dinner to enjoy your collection” standard:

  1. DJ. Just going to put me in a good mood. There will be a hop in my step afterwards.
  2. Neil. He’s got three certified good mood bangers. Then closes it out with the Spieth collapse to remind us that the world is a dark place.
  3. Soly. It’s technically great. I just may not be sophisticated enough to really “get” it. Like my feelings about Radiohead.
  4. Randy. I’m gonna be in a great mood after 1997. Then I’m gonna be checking my phone and wondering if I can duck out before we hit 3 and 4 on the list.
  5. TC. I’ve got concerns. This is a bad vibe. Like, I may get invited down to his wine cellar to check out a cask of Amontillado vibes.

Came back and watched the 2001 Masters again, and there’s a guy with a hard hat behind 16 green for some reason.

Maybe he was the OG guy who knew everyone goes long there. Safety first.

He also appears to have a fresh pair of FJ classics on. Are we sure it’s not a time traveling TC adorned in Justin Thomas’ hand me down golf shoes ?!?!?

He’s just there to make a working man’s par.

So I noticed this on some old masters broadcasts but I think hole spotters used to wear yellow hard hats. Guessing they were retired by 2001 so maybe a souvenir from the old days but this is from 1984

Caddy’s hat is also sick as fuck.

I get it…a chill evening with the fam might not be the best time to spin up de-loused in the comatorium, ha ha.

Totally agree and much respect for the pull / reference :raised_hands:t3:

Great, great pod. Might have to take the advice and watch it, but listening while putting and chipping at the muni was the perfect accompaniment. Except that I got some strange looks when I belly laughed. Great stuff, boys!

Bacon may be the ultimate masters knower. Love that he came with his own rankings. It appeared. Gabby was a true pro so concise. Great work by her.

Only miss on that pod was not having Bamberger as a judge

I re-watched 97 and I’ve been saying Tiger … Land Rover.

Not sure if it’s funny. But I can’t stop.

Curious if the boys (mostly @MerchCzar and @djpie) already feel like some of these album collections have aged poorly given the recent news.

Does it kinda feel like Soly’s throwin on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Late Registration, making everyone feel a little awkward right now?

Feels like there needs to be some type of FAAB budget or auction after the playing of each major if someone wants to add it into their collection.
