It's The Masters Pod!!  You know the drill; the guys tape for hours and Stoff posts what's salvable.  With Jimmy stuck in Canada for TradeCentre duties Puffy, Bump and Graham DeLaet join the pod from Augusta, Georgia.  The guys fill in James, Lester and Stoff on all they've been missing at the Masters, as Bump and Graham have a special announcement.  The Augusta Three find themselves muted often, but find their way back every time.  Pea Soup Jim is definitely bitter over having to miss the trip, while James is simply wondering if his tracksuit is really a "dadsuit".  The title for this week's pod is somewhat ironic…as this weeks pod will be audio only, as some of the footage is simply too real and terrifying (even for the internet).  We will post a few usable clips onto our social media over the next couple days.  Enjoy the mayhem!  A tradition like no other…

We kick off the pod by learning about the sports history of Malta, as well as some Christopher cross Trivia.  James undergoes a pirate eye trial run, attempts an unboxing, and introduces us to Pea Soup Jimmy, whose kind of an (beep).   Our Show and Tell segment has Puffy excited, we do a deep dive on Winnie the Pooh, and there are more disturbing developments in the case of the headless bunny.  Jimmy divides the Gold Bar League into social classes, and continues to golf shame Stoff and Lester.  The boys list their top sporting events in Canada, and consider trying out for the Olympics.
