For many of us, wondering what it feels like to be at The Masters has become a yearly tradition. Not everyone is lucky enough to drive down Magnolia Lane or feel the energy as the final group comes through Amen Corner, but what if you could simulate the feeling of being at Augusta National? From first-timer reviews to roars that echo through the hallowed grounds, the newest episode of the No Laying Up podcast tries to do just that. Come along as KVV and Neil walk you through their week at Augusta and provide a small sample of the euphoria that exists only at The Masters. No Laying Up presents: Sounds of the Masters, available now wherever you get your podcasts.

You are leaving the parking garage and just entered your ticket. Your jaw drops as you look on screen and it says you’ve been there for over 143 days and the total is pushing almost $4000. By now you have a line of impatient cars behind you and there isn’t an attendant there, it’s all automated. Do you just pay the bill so you can leave, what if you can’t pay the bill?

I studied OKC to see why they are so good: This team is one of the BEST defensive teams EVER. For most fans, and even for KD- defense might not seem special. But if you take a deep dive, you can see why OKC has been SO dominant and could break the season win-loss record 😮

I’ve been following this phenomenon for a while. I have no idea what to make of it but when you see the sky get that black at 3:30 in the afternoon on a sunny day AND you hear what sounds like loud trumpets in the sky…It means something.. I’m not sure what. I don’t know if it’s biblical or if it’s something our government is doing, but I know what it sounds like to me . It’s been happening all over the world . I’d love to hear your opinions on this.

Zverev says he has not spoken to a single player who likes the two week Masters events, ‘I don’t even think fans like that… I understand tennis is a business, but I’m not sure that business plan is working very well right now’ “Do you think you’ll play more of a schedule of 15 to 18 tournaments and really try to peak at the Slams? Zverev: “The thing is I would love to. But with how the ATP has done the touraments nowadays, it’s impossible to. How are you gonna do that? You have the 9 Masters 1000 events, which are mandatory. Most of them are two week long events nowadays, except Monte Carlo and Paris Bercy, which I think are the best two weeks nowadays because you’ve kind of in and out. I think for a fan and for every tennis player, like, Paris Bercy was awesome last year. I won it, which was even more awesome for me (laughs). You kind of get there, you play your 5 matches, and you get out of there. You don’t have to stick around. You don’t have to practice in between matches. You don’t have to do all those things. That’s how Masters events used to be. I think all the players loved it. Now the ATP has made 4 mandatory 500 events for you to play, which used to be 3, now it’s 4. You kind of don’t really get under 20 events except if you are pulling out of those big events. I’m not a fan of where this is going because if you take Alex de Minaur for example last year, he played his last match at Davis Cup November 25th, and played the first match at United Cup this year December 27th. So you have a month of off season. How are you gonna take two weeks off? How are you gonna prepare your body for a new season? How are you gonna train enough tennis? You don’t have enough time to do all those things anymore. I think this is one subject where the ATP has to really think about it and kind of find a solution for it as well. To be honest, I’ve not heard a single player say that they love the two week masters events. I don’t even think fans like that. They don’t like waiting for two days for their favorite player to play again. I understand tennis is a business, but I’m not sure that business plan is working very well right now.” (via Nothing Major Show)

“In the last 24 hours, even people within the administration have said to me, ‘I don’t really get how we weren’t prepared to deal with the Strait of Hormuz,’” says Mark Halperin. “And I don’t care if you are the most MAGA person in the world. The facts are before us. They didn’t have a plan. There’s no sugarcoating it… So it’s right for the media to ask not just, ‘what are you going to do now,' but ‘why?

It is very possible that THE end times prophecy that we have all been waiting for has now happened. Again I say POSSIBLE. But if it did, what a convenient time for the world to be distracted with something else. If you don’t know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, I pray you seek Him out now while you still have a chance. Because there is coming a day- very soon- that you no longer will be able to. Eternity is coming, and it’s coming quickly. Don’t waste yours.

Marc Andreessen on the 3 things he looks for when investing in a startup The first thing Marc Andreesen looks for is a big market: “Is there a big existing market that you think you can go after and displace incumbents? Or do you believe there will be a new market that will be big?” The second thing he looks for is a 10x better product: “Is there a fundamental technology or economic change that justifies a new company? And the way I always think about that is: Is there a 10x change happening in the technology landscape? Is something 10x faster, 10x cheaper, or 10x better? If it’s not 10x, we as both VCs and entrepreneurs have to ask ourselves if it’s really worth doing because it’s really hard to start new companies . . . Existing companies are usually pretty good at what they do. So for a new company to exist, it has to bring a product to market that’s so much better than what exists that it punches through the status quo.” The third is the team: “Is the team outstanding? . . . You want to have a founding team of complementary skillsets. You want to have at least one super strong technologist — quite possibly more than one. Some of the best startups are actually more than one founding technologist. And then it often helps to have someone who is a marketing or salesperson who has a really good understanding of business.” Marc believes that you need all three of these, but if you’re going to compromise on one of those as an investor, it should be the product: “A great market is a lot easier to make up for with iterative product execution. The problem with a poor or small market is that even if you do a good job on the product, there just aren’t that many customers so it’s hard to ever get big and people get demoralized . . . And then we evaluate the team of a startup by its ability to get into a big market with a good product.”

“When people were saying in the testimony, that the hope they have is that what happened here 30 something years ago will never happen again. It won’t, not because those who were responsible for that dark past will not try again or are not even trying now again. It will not happen again just because there will be people who will stand up and fight. It’s not because there are fewer people who wish for us to perish or who would have wished for this country to disappear. How can people accept that? What kind of people do not stand up and fight? There is a risk of dying when you stand up and fight but if you don’t, it’s a sure thing: you are going to die. So why don’t I try to stand up and fight with the chance that I might survive and live life as I want it, instead of giving up and you let people treat you as if for you to live, it is a favour that they are going to do for you. Why? But my message goes to other Africans who live like this on a daily basis, who are dehumanized and they accept it and they beg. I can't beg to live. I can't beg anybody. We’ll fight, If I lose, I lose. But there is a chance. There is a chance, a significant chance, that if you stand up and fight, you will live. And you will have lived a dignified life that you deserve, that anybody else deserves." President Kagame | #Kwibuka31

WEMBY signed a new NIKE deal and DT says NIKE has fallen off. “nike has fell off for me. the accessibility is not there.” PJ immediately pushes back. “nike is hands and feet above everybody. it’s not even close.” DT says his biggest issue is how hard it is to get the shoes people actually want. the conversation turns into a debate over bots, resellers and Nike’s limited releases. DT says he’d rather have the opportunity to buy sneakers in-store than compete with resellers online. PJ’s final take? “if you want to talk about anything dying, it’s the sneaker market in general.” “not nike, the sneaker market is dying because they are killing the resale.”

McGowan: It’s like when you play monopoly and somebody has all of the hotels on the whole board, and it doesn't matter if you're playing the game right, it doesn't matter if you're doing what you're supposed to do, it doesn't matter if you get the education, if you get the job, you are still always going to lose. That is where we are in America right now, and that is not how we should want to be. And I'm saying capitalism is a wonderful system if it is working, it is not currently working for the American people.

For the people saying “we don’t need more documents, we need arrests.” If you are awake and you know about the fraud in 2020, THE DOCUMENTS ARE NOT FOR YOU. They are for the people who have been denying the truth. For the normies. They are the ones who need convincing. We must release the proof BEFORE we arrest the traitors. We must make a case for the American People BEFORE we drop the hammer. Why? Optics. The public must understand WHY Trump has to arrest the high-profile politicians that the public have been conditioned to worship, BEFORE we arrest them, otherwise there will be massive backlash and widespread violence. That’s why all of this declassification is happening BEFORE the arrests. What do you think would happen if Trump just arrested Obama or Hillary right now, or at any point over the last 10 years? How do you think that would go? The streets would be in flames in every city in America, and it would be extremely messy. Mass chaos and civilian casualties. This situation is extremely delicate, and must be done surgically. If you don’t like it, that’s too damn bad, this is how it’s gonna be. Declas first, arrests later. Patience.

Biologist Dr. Heather Heying on the subject of the WNBA discussing the issue of transgender participation: "I don't know what the goal is. And I don't know if there's something bigger behind it that is trying to destroy all of the institutions of the West or just women's sports. I don't see why anyone would go, would target women's sports specifically. But, you know, at some level, getting people, getting women to defend the destruction of women's sports is quite a feat. And you got a lot of those doing that now. So, you know, at one level, women's sports is not as important as almost anything else we could possibly be talking about. But having, just as having gotten women to turn on family members and tell them they couldn't come inside for Thanksgiving if they hadn't gotten their insane Covid shot is something that you can't ever undo. And these people are now going to tie themselves in knots trying to explain themselves to themselves and to others. Once you have defended the right to destroy a system that in the 1970s you would have been on the opposite side of, because you would have been pro Title IX at that point — is something that you can't undo. And it weakens individuals when you get them to argue for something indefensible. "

The Masters is one of my favorite sporting events, and its 88-year history brings some great traditions. Here's a running list of the most interesting facts: 1. Media tickets (badges) have RFID tags inside them so the club knows where each person is at all times. 2. Even players who miss the cut at the Masters still walk away with a $10,000 check. 3. A 5-bedroom home near Augusta will rent for $30,000+ during Masters week, and brands often pay six figures for larger homes where they can host events. 4. The IRS has a special exemption in the tax code called the "Augusta Rule," allowing homeowners to rent out their homes for 14 days per year without paying taxes on the income. This rule was initially implemented for Augusta residents only but is now available to everyone in the United States. 5. The Masters will do $70 million in merchandise sales this week. That's... • $10 million per day • $1 million per hour • $16,000 per minute • $277 per second The merchandise is so popular because you can only buy it at Augusta (aka no online sales). 6. In 1931, Augusta National was purchased for $70,000— or an inflation-adjusted $1.4 million. However, the property is now valued at over $200 million. 7. Augusta National has quietly been expanding over the years, spending more than $200 million (through an array of LLCs) to buy 100+ properties. Augusta has purchased strip malls, restaurants, apartment complexes, and homes, adding 270+ acres to the property and often paying 3-4x their value. 8. Augusta National is debuting "Map & Flag" at this year's tournament. The premium hospitality offering isn't even on the property — it was built in a strip mall down the street that Augusta acquired for $26 million in 2020 — yet they were able to charge $17,000 per ticket (+ week-long badges) and have completely sold out. 9. The concession stand food is wrapped in green packaging, so it can't be seen on TV if someone litters. 10. Someone once found a green jacket in a Canadian thrift store. They purchased the jacket for $5, and it later sold at auction for $140,000. 11. Magnolia Lane is exactly 330 yards long, with 61 trees on each side. 12. Augusta's clubhouse has a wine cellar with 30+ pages of the world's most exclusive wines. 13. Previous Masters champions gather every year for dinner on the Tuesday before the tournament. The previous year's winner gets to pick the menu, but he must also pay for the meal. 14. The Masters leaves millions on the table by giving away the broadcasting rights to ESPN and CBS for free. They do this to maintain complete control, handpicking advertisers, eliminating on-course signage, and only playing 3 to 4 minutes of commercials each hour. 15. Unlike most golf clubs, which are registered as non-profits, Augusta National is a for-profit corporation. This requires them to pay more taxes, but they do it anyway because it means they don't have to share their member list, income, holdings, or expansion plans. 16. More than 1,500 private jets will land in Augusta this week, paying about $3,000 in landing and parking fees. 17. Augusta has SubAir Systems under each green. This enables them to keep the greens consistent, sucking up water when it rains and adding moisture when it's hot. Also, when someone slipped a few years back, Augusta added SubAir systems under all the walkways. 18. Dwight D. Eisenhower is the only U.S. President to become a member at Augusta National. He never actually attended the Masters, but Eisenhower made 29 trips to the property, playing 210 rounds of golf, during his eight-year term as President. Even crazier, Augusta worked with the Secret Service to build him a safe place to stay, called Eisenhower Cabin, which is still used on the property today. That's it for today!

The Masters is one of my favorite sporting events, and its 88-year history brings some great traditions. Here's a running list of the most interesting facts: 1. Media tickets (badges) have RFID tags inside them so the club knows where each person is at all times. 2. Even players who miss the cut at the Masters still walk away with a $10,000 check. 3. A 5-bedroom home near Augusta will rent for $30,000+ during Masters week, and brands often pay six figures for larger homes where they can host events. 4. The IRS has a special exemption in the tax code called the "Augusta Rule," allowing homeowners to rent out their homes for 14 days per year without paying taxes on the income. This rule was initially implemented for Augusta residents only but is now available to everyone in the United States. 5. The Masters will do $70 million in merchandise sales this week. That's... • $10 million per day • $1 million per hour • $16,000 per minute • $277 per second The merchandise is so popular because you can only buy it at Augusta (aka no online sales). 6. In 1931, Augusta National was purchased for $70,000— or an inflation-adjusted $1.4 million. However, the property is now valued at over $200 million. 7. Augusta National has quietly been expanding over the years, spending more than $200 million (through an array of LLCs) to buy 100+ properties. Augusta has purchased strip malls, restaurants, apartment complexes, and homes, adding 270+ acres to the property and often paying 3-4x their value. 8. Augusta National is debuting "Map & Flag" at this year's tournament. The premium hospitality offering isn't even on the property — it was built in a strip mall down the street that Augusta acquired for $26 million in 2020 — yet they were able to charge $17,000 per ticket (+ week-long badges) and have completely sold out. 9. The concession stand food is wrapped in green packaging, so it can't be seen on TV if someone litters. 10. Someone once found a green jacket in a Canadian thrift store. They purchased the jacket for $5, and it later sold at auction for $140,000. 11. Magnolia Lane is exactly 330 yards long, with 61 trees on each side. 12. Augusta's clubhouse has a wine cellar with 30+ pages of the world's most exclusive wines. 13. Previous Masters champions gather every year for dinner on the Tuesday before the tournament. The previous year's winner gets to pick the menu, but he must also pay for the meal. 14. The Masters leaves millions on the table by giving away the broadcasting rights to ESPN and CBS for free. They do this to maintain complete control, handpicking advertisers, eliminating on-course signage, and only playing 3 to 4 minutes of commercials each hour. 15.

This requires them to pay more taxes, but they do it anyway because it means they don't have to share their member list, income, holdings, or expansion plans. 16.
