What they’re saying

“In the buildup to the Masters last year, I was eating a lot of elk. I got this big shipment of elk and I was eating a lot of that. I didn't want elk to be the main course, because I didn't know if everyone would like that, so I incorporated it into the appetizers.”

“That is the wine that I drank the night that I won the Masters, so obviously [it] brings back some great memories.”
