00:00 I did text him last night and I told him not to text me back.
00:03 He's kind of busy this week.
00:05 He's got a little going down there with his green jacket.
00:08 But since he and I do have history over our story
00:12 about Augusta, if he wins the Masters
00:17 and we win the national championship,
00:19 we'll go to Cabo.
00:21 It's a fun time for me to watch him play
00:23 because it seems like yesterday that I call it
00:27 the six-inch vertical jump that he took on 18
00:30 when he made the putt to win.
00:32 And he did call me right after he got through
00:34 with all the media and the signing and the fans
00:38 and signing his card and said,
00:39 "Okay, I've done my part of the deal.
00:41 Now you've got to go win the national championship
00:43 for us to get to Cabo."
00:44 And then he was at the national championship game.
00:47 And after we won, he did come in the dressing room
00:49 and said, "We got a problem."
00:51 And I said, "What's our problem?"
00:52 And he said, "We got a lot more than 25 friends
00:54 that want to go to Cabo now
00:56 because when we first started, both of us were struggling."
01:00 And he said, "We'll take our 25 best friends to Cabo."
01:03 So I love Phil Mickelson.
01:05 He's a dear friend.
01:07 And I've had a lot of joy in my life with him.
01:10 And wish him luck.
01:12 I told him, "It's time for the old guys to step up."
01:14 (laughing)
