"I watch sports and it kills her, because I got into March Madness a little," he explained. "She got into that, but it was enough. So the next week was the Masters, and I'm watching that and she goes, 'So every weekend we're gonna be watching a sporting event. 'I'm like, 'Actually, that's how it works.'"
