Hello, everyone, welcome back. Yes, we are back here on the
Poker Go Podcast. My name is Donnie Peters. I'm here with Tim Duckworths.
It's been about five weeks. Buddy, have you been? Where have
you been? Where have you been? Where have you been? This is
your fault? Where have you been? Hey? Look, if you want
to blame me, if that makes you feel better, I'm okay with that.
But we're back. I don't need to I don't need to blame you.
I'll I'll just say this. I got a little bit burned out for
arguably the first time in my career, because I really don't get burned out
when it comes to work or poker. But I was a little bit burned
out. I think I was also a bit a little bit disenchanted with with
the podcast. I don't even know what that word means. It's it's too
big of a for a Monday morning, just fall falling out of favor with
with the way that we're doing it. Okay, I feel like we need
to get better at it. I feel like we need to not just like
run through tournament news Like I know, we can't come out here and be
like super hot taky, but I think we need to kind of just shape
things somewhat differently. So I'm just putting that out there. Maybe maybe we
shouldn't have had that little conversation on the at the beginning of the show.
Maybe not, but I don't know. I think that people like our transparency
on this podcast, so it is what it is. So maybe there will
be some changes coming up in the format and stuff in the coming weeks.
Who the heck knows, but but we're back as long as that's the most
important thing, as long as I'm not leaving dot dot dot yet, Okay,
because I can't ever say that I'm not leaving because you never know,
right if somebody comes and gives me the bag, see you, buddy,
Like you know you guys can't see it. But I'm throwing Tim the peace
sign on the video. You could leave. We're gonna do a show today
kind of recapping everything that's happened, I guess more so in our world.
We're gonna do another episode later this week. We're planning to kind of hit
on DEBISIP, Europe, the NAPT Those are obviously very big events that have
been happening and I think are still like wrapping up or is the napt fully
over? They have like three charity events this week, but it's basically that
doesn't count. Yeah, that doesn't count. So yeah, but we're back.
Okay, we're frigging back, So let's go. Tim's got a new
giveaway. To be honest, I was reading this giveaway and I was like,
I can't Tim just just give the people to give away please? You
seem to always hate on giveaways, but okay, I don't hate on giveaways.

We talked a little bit about how, you know, I was kind
of fallen out of favor a little bit. Where have we actually been.
We've been very busy work wise. We've just basically had thirty nine events in
fifty days. Been at the studio every day, whether it's satellites or storm
x events, area high rollers. So work side that's been taking up pretty
much the majority of our time. I had a little trip to Florida that
we may touch on in a family pod segment, but yeah, I think
this is probably you went to Florida. Yeah, remember for two days for
the football Nationals, the football contest that was in Florida. Yes, I
thought that was in like Arizona. No, I flew to Florida for two
days and flew back on a red eye and straight back to work. I
don't know why I thought that was in Arizona. No, no, no,
no, that was not. We we played with Arizona Vegas combined with
Arizona anyway. So yeah, I mean I feel like this stretcher, you
know, we're going to talk about these events coming up, feels like,
you know, way more busier than we were during the World Series. And
that was also every day, long hours. I think that's an excuse.
I think you touched on a little bit of burnout, a little bit of
you know, not enough time to get to the pod because you know,
we both have kids at home and families and wives, I think still,
and we wanted to, you know, spend some time with them. Yeah,
but we're back now. It's good to be back. It's good to
be chatting on this podcast, chatting about poker. I mean, yeah,
it was busy, you know. I think you know, you said how
it kind of felt busier than the World Series of Poker. I think that's
probably because these events are our events, so it's not just showing up to
someone else's event doing stuff there, you know, where we also, you
know, we could take some days off. We don't necessarily show up every
single day. We show up on one, et cetera, that sort of
thing. These are our events, so we have to show up there every
single day for kind of hours, although not really. But then also outside
of actually being in the event, there's a lot to do to make the
events run, you know, both from the marketing and from the operational side
of things that were constantly you know, almost working around the clock for like
thirty days or whatever it is. So so yeah, so I think that's
why, you know, it does seem a little bit busier. But now
we're at the time where we have some events that are PGT qualifying events,
but they're not really like our events, so a little less heavy lifting on
our end, you know. We've had the chance to play some poker recently.
We're probably gonna play some poker for the rest of the year. It
feels like I was thinking about this the other day, or I was talking
about it the other day. Actually, it feels like November and December are
like the times when you and I get to play the most poker. I
mean, I know, we kind of take some shots during the World Series
of Oker when when we can working around our schedule. But because things poker
go, things PGT related kind of die down a little bit in November and
December, at least more than ever this year. You know, maybe we
can get out there and we can battle some more. We got the win
coming up. It's right in our backyard, so that's gonna be a lot
of things out there. These guys are too good, man. You know
what I was thinking too. Here's what I was thinking. I was thinking
when when you and I were ranting in slack the other day. I was
earlier today and I was saying I was going to throw a wrench in this
whole podcast idea and all that sort of ship. You're you work in a
very robotic manner. You have your processes, you have all of your stuff,
you go through them, your systems, et cetera. Treat poker like
that, man, like become a robot, like be a slave to the
game, the machine, study the solvers, et cetera. That's like fun.
I mean, yeah, it's not as fun, but like you,
you can still be like a character and be personable and fun and entertaining at
the table, but like in your mind, be like a robot. I
don't know, man, that sounds cer difficult. I'm just a washed up
wreck. Just take my money, let me have fun, put a smile
on my face, and kick me out the door. All right, all
right, So Poker Masters, we'll kind of I guess we'll touch on these
a little bit faster than we normally would because you know, we're a few
weeks removed from all these events. But you know, nonetheless, if you've
been living under a rock and you missed some stuff, here we go Poker
Masters you had. So there's kind of two big takeaways I'll say about Poker
Masters. One, Steven Chidwick is just still a goat, like he's the
best of the best. He obviously won the entire series, added the Purple
Jackets to his long list of accomplishments. Believe he had what it's US Poker
Open back in the day twenty eighteen. I want to say he won the
us PO program. That sounds right. So now he adds a the Australian
title. But my problem there is that that was never part of the PGT
and it's now defunct, although personal I bring it back, David, I'm
with you. I think we should go back there. I'm with you,
okay. But so while Steven Childwick ultimately stole the show early on, it
was newcomer Vladys Tomasowskis from Lithuania who kind of came out of nowhere to win
the two of the first three events and made the final table. Of the
first three events, he went first, sixth, first, So he comes
out of nowhere, you know, he's the front runner on top of the
poker Master's Leader War. He looks like he's gonna take it down. But
then after event number three, I mean, he couldn't get anything done,
you know, he couldn't couldn't make anything happen. So ultimately Steven Childwick kind
of comes in with a late rush to the series, which is kind of
what we see a lot of times in these series that we do, and
he takes home the purple jacket. Steven Shouldwick won one of the twenty five
thousand dollars buying events, and then some other winners from this series included Aaron
Elias Chino Reim. We're gonna be talking a lot about Gino Reim on this
podcast today. Andrew Lichtenberger, he won an event actually on his birthday orpen
case at Chi Coglu won an event, Nick Shulman won an event justin Bonomo,
and Jonathan Jaffey. Jonathan Jaffey came in just for the final event,
won it, which we've seen before, so he comes in gets the job
done. Stephen Chidwick added six hundred and eighty eight PGT points from the series.
Steven Chidwick has had a very very good second half to the PGT season,
which we'll touch on a little bit more in a bit. Tomas Awskis
picked up five hundred and six PGT points, and then Chino Reim, who
won an event at the series and also had a bunch of other cashes,
finished third four hundred and eighty seven PGT points. For him, I think
he had five final titles, which is yeah, it was it five and
he had a bunch of sick He was on fire take some fifth place finishes,
so he just couldn't get it done. Outside of that victory he had.
Yeah, but it was like a I don't know, Yeah, it
was a good five or six day stretch. China Room was just in the
money and at the fund table every single time it was it was pretty wild.
Poker masters led right into super high role lebl eight twenty entries this year.
I guess we can have a conversation a little bit more about this event,
specifically because not drawing the biggest field these days. And what I mean
by that is obviously we would love if this event drew a hundred players,
but it's probably never going to. So let's just say that relative to what
it's drawn before, it seems like it's kind of trending downward, which is
unfortunate. I mean, why do you think that is? Like, what's
the reason? I think there's a lot of things. Is obviously for the
Canadians, the tax issue for people traveling is their value to travel just for
a three hundred k, and maybe they get the fifty k and the poke
massas before it. I don't know. We see some guys that we might
have counted on, like a you know, Mikita Adamo, like Adama,
they didn't come this year, so maybe they don't see the value in traveling
just for one small field three hundred k. So we either have to switch
it up, maybe find a different window, maybe we put it in the
summer or alternatively, I think we've discussed this a lot, is turn it
into a series, a high roller series. It might just be three events,
but you know, talking to some of these people, I talked to
Talal a little bit about this, Chakuchi a series would be more likely to
attract him and fellow players that you know want to play these, you know,
super high stakes tournaments. So we definitely need to rethink this for next
year, for next season and try and figure out, hey, like,
what is the goal with this, how do we make it better and kind
of go from there. I mean, I'm team I'm team super high Roller
series that culminates with the Super high Roller ball. You know, most of
our series are ten K buy ins to start and then they finish with a
fifty I would switch it up for Super high Roller series because it's super high
roller. So you know, go as low as twenty five K, have
a couple of twenty five k's, a couple of fifty k's, maybe one
hundre k, then the three under k you know, boom, boom boom.
Like you said, I think that that gets those guys, the Talals
of the world out there battling. I think it also attracts, you know,
the Jason Kuhn's, the Nick Petraangels, et cetera. The the upper
echelon the elite of the professional poker players, you know, Jason Kuhn,
Nick Petrangelo. For as good as they are justin Bonhomo two, you know,
they they skip a lot of our events because, I mean the price
point is just too low. Let's be honest. I mean they've just gotten
so good and become so successful in their career that in a way, a
ten k is kind of a waste of time. You know. They you
know, they don't they don't win enough money that it's worth it to them,
which is kind of crazy to say, but that's the reality of the
situation. So, you know, put something together for these players I think
would be would be good. We probably need to explore moving it outside the
US just on you know, it's unfortunate and this is entirely out of our
control, but the US as a market for a lot of these high stakes
poker players is just not a truly viable one these days. Outside of the
World Series of Poker. I'm gonna be extremely curious for what happens for the
WS or sorry, WPT big one for one drop the million dollar buying in
December. I know they've been announcing some names here and there for people that
are playing an event, but but yeah, I mean that one's in.
It's in the States, so I don't know, is it gonna draw like
the best of the best, and you know, we're the biggest of the
biggest I should say, like like the Triton events do, because those are
outside of the US, and you know, the tax laws and all that
sort of stuff are a little bit friendlier when when you're not playing here in
the US. So that's something that we really can't control. So maybe we
take Super High Roll or Series Slash Bowl and we move it somewhere else.
I mean that I would kind of vote for that in the very least.
Maybe it just needs a new time slot, so you know, we'll look
at that of course as well. But yeah, I mean I still think
the event to me at least like it. It holds its prestige whether it
gets fifteen entries or it gets forty entries. To me, like this is
this is what everyone, all the mixed game players talk about. The fifty
KPPC at the Dobasip. To me, this is Nolan Holdom's version of that,
where in a way it's kind of like a cash game. It's very
drawn out. Ye, the structure is extremely good. The dobisity Man event
is also very much like this, but the difference is obviously the price point.
One is ten K draws thousands of players. One is three hundred K
draws only the upper echelon of people, both you know, financially and also
skill wise. So that's what I really like about Super High Rollable, and
that's why it's you know, always going to be something that I truly,
truly truly enjoy, you know. So I think I think as long as
you can get four tables in this thing, you're doing all right if the
play holds up. And this year I thought the play was incredible, you
know, throughout from start to finish. So so yeah, getting into the
event itself again, twenty entries. Everyone put up three hundred thousand dollars for
it. The first place prize was two million, seven hundred and sixty thousand,
and we saw a winner of this event who has previously won the event,
that is Isaac Haxton. He won Super High rollerbl five back in December
twenty eighteen. That was the year when there was two Super High Rollables in
the same year. Haxton took home that two point seven to six million dollar
first place prize. He beat Andrew Lucky Chewy Liechtenberger. Liechtenberger got to one
point six eight million. Lichtenberger finished third in Super High Rollable the year before,
and then comes in second place this year. Steven Chidwick, fresh off
his Poker Masters Maybe kind of a theme here with the Poker Masters winner,
that that that momentum care you know we saw with Michael o'damo in the past,
now we're seeing it here with Stephen Chidwick. He goes on to finish
in third place, and then Jason kuhn Min cashed in the event for six
hunder k and it was Chris Brewer bubbling in fifth place. Was it?
Yes? I think that was the case Chris Brewer. I know he doesn't
he doesn't ultimately show up on the scoreboard here as I'll call it. But
I thought Chris Brewer played lights out in this event from start to finish.
He played tremendous It seemed like at every junction of the tournament whenever he was
shown in a hand he was making the correct decision. I had always thought
that Chris Brewer is extremely talented at poker. I came away like even more
blown away from everything that I've ever seen from Chris Brewer. So you know,
I know, ultimately he bubbles the event. It's not the result that
he had hoped for, but you know, I thought that he played extremely
well all three days of coverage. We're available for free on the Poker Goro
YouTube channel, so if you missed the coverage, you can go back and
relive this entire event from start to finish. If you know. It's obviously
good from an entertainment perspective, but if you're really looking for something to watch
from like a study point of view, trying to get better, I would
say start from you know, day one, hand one, you know when
these guys are super deep, and watch it through because you can learn a
lot from seeing how these guys play in this sort of event from start to
finish. So often we just show final tables, you know, and you
know understandably so, but this event, you know, we show everything from
start to finish. I think we started with level two or level three on
Day one, so you get extremely deep stack poker, you get you know,
the day two, moving day, you get the bubble stuff, and
then i'll of course you get the the end of it all, when it
all finishes with Isaac Hackston winning. So some stats here, you want to
go over these stats. Isaac Hackson now true time roller joints, Justin Bonomo
who's won it three times two live one online, and Timothy Adams one back
to back Super High Roller Balls Australia and Sochi in twenty nineteen. So hacks
some pot of three guys that have won it multiple times. That's kind of
pretty impressive to win, you know, one of the hardest tournaments on our
schedule when you factor in like the quality of the players. Yeah, I
mean, I think it's one of the hardest tournaments to win in the world.
I mean, I know, ultimately, like you can look at it
on the surface, you can say, oh, you know, it was
only four table seid and go twenty entries whatever, But the structure and the
average skill of each player in the field, I think this event is incredibly
tough to win. So Super High Rollable rolled into the second edition of PGT
Mixed Games PGT Mixed Games two as we call it. This is this is
Tim's baby, so I'm gonna I'm gonna let you talk about it might not
be my baby for much longer, you know, Hey, not your fault.
We could talk about We'll talk about that after you give the give the
little summary here. Yeah, So we added a new event this year.
We added the five K ten Game Mini Championship as I like to call it.
That was won by David Persiak, but some other winners David Fankausa,
Chino Reeim in the winner circle, Dimitriovanovich, Nick Schulman again in the winner
circle, Dylan Weissman, you know PLO playing Dylan Weisman comes and wins the
Dealer's choice. So that was, you know, a little bit unexpected how
Rothols Max Coleman won the twenty five K ten game main event and Arthur Morris
won the closer, the five K no limit deuce. So with all of
that, Chino Reem another heater. He he scored three hundred and eighty eight
PGT points during the series was crowned the Mixed Games Champion. So yeah,
good to see a few new names that didn't make it out for the first
series in February, come jump in the winners circle, experience the studio for
the first time. And yeah, I think it was a for what was
laid on our plate. You know, it was ac decent enough series.
I like to see a lot of you know, the new faces that hadn't
played before, you know, Paul Volpi we named some of those winners that
had never been in there, and that was good. Just get more players
experiencing, you know, everything we can offer in the studio. Yeah,
I think numbers were down, what fifteen percent? They're so compared to the
first one. So maybe this ultimately just turns into a once a year type
of thing. I know, there were a lot of players that wanted to
see this run back twice after the first one, which we thought was a
very big success, you know, and talking to a lot of the players
during the summer months, you know, when kind of everyone's in town,
especially the mixgame players of the World Series of Poker, it seemed like there
was a pretty big appetit for this stuff. But a lot of people that
expressed that appetite didn't come to the table to eat. So it's on them
if we only run this this once a year. It's on the players because
we can we can't do something that's you know, doesn't ultimately work out.
So you know, if you want to be successful from a mixed game player
perspective, come out and support it. So yeah, that's where I'm kind
of at and I think you know, you would agree ultimately. So maybe
just is a once a year thing, which is which is still fine because
you know, outside of the World Series of Poker, Like, where where
do you go to play just a full series of mixed games, especially at
this price point? Yeah you don't so so yeah, so we'll see,
and I think it'll be it'll probably be interesting to see how I talked about
earlier, how it'll be interesting to see how the WPT Big one for one
drop. Does I know there are some mixed games on the WPT World Championship
schedule at the WIN coming up in this so maybe we see how those go
as well. Just seeing that our numbers dropped from PGT Mixed Games one to
PGT Mixed Games two, let's see how that kind of carryover happens, you
know, for the mixed game events that are happening coming up at the WIN,
I know, the ones that just happened at the NAPT I mean,
did all right, right what they can get thirty two or something. I
think it got less the worse of it, but I think it might got
less than that. Actually, I think it was like three yeah, four
tables of six the twenty four players, okay, I mean, you know,
not the worst, but not the best. I mean everyone was kind
of mixed, gamed down. They'll either headed home, yeah yeah, they
just kind of weren't here for that. But I think that's one thing we'll
do next year is we'll probably just be you know, one series a year.
We'll just make it. Yeah, you're right, thirty two players.
We'll making an you know, one series. We're going to figure out the
schedule, tweak it a little bit, uh, possibly drop the buy ins
down. This five K price point. I think it's a bit more sustainable,
bit more achievable for some other players taking their shot, and I think
we can get bigger and better turnouts and kind of just be all in on
this one one off mixed game series, you know, targeting March twenty twenty
four, and kind of go from there. Yeah, I mean I like
being all in on just one series, you know, kind of forcing everyone,
you know, into that that bottle that can in a way and force
them into that one series and if that's when they want to play mixed games,
and that's when you got to play mixed games. Also hard, you
know, as we saw in the second half of the year with everything that
goes on in Vegas, you know, football conferences, F one, you
know, all that sort of stuff is more difficult. So yeah, so
maybe we just keep it in the spring and just do it one time,
super high rollable p l O hunter k bying first of its kind, yes,
first time we ever did this event. Also the at least to date
largest buying pot limon Omaha tournament in the history of poker. So really cool
that we were able to put this on thirty eight entries in this one.
I guess first, I'm just going to talk about the field size. I
thought for sure sixty to seventy. It was in play. I was teamed
then, Yeah, you were a team. No. I did the stupid
poker player mistake. Yeah, okay, that's what I did, and that
is is that I did not review the structure sheet before I thought how big
the event was going to get. If I would have looked at the structure
sheet and saw that Tim made it very Alan Kesler friendly. I would have
never in a million years said that it would have got sixty because it just
wasn't fast enough to get these guys firing in there multiple times. I mean,
that's ultimately what I take away from it. I think these guys would
have fired. I think pretty much everyone would have fired a second bullet if
had they busted out, if they had busted Yeah, this structure, but
the structure was very good. Yeah it was the same structure we use in
the Super High Rollable No Limit, and yeah, it was the first of
its kind, one hundred K buy and PLO, so we wanted to definitely
put some prestige on this. But you know, we probably should have taken
a step back and figured out that, hey, these PLO players definitely like
to gamble, maybe we can make it more accommodating. And we've already written
the next We rewrote the structure already for next time. You know, a
lot of these guys talked about a bit of day two, a possibility of
day two entry, So we've tweaked it a little bit where you can enter
on day two. We shorten the levels up. Probably don't need to give
them three hundred thousand starting chips either. Well, I think the only thing
that that I would do is I would make Day one a bit faster,
and then Day two and three would be kind of old. I mean,
like let them get in there, fire off two bullets, and then if
you make it to day two, like you get a very player friendly structure.
Not that it's not player friendly from the beginning, but you know,
not super higher level three hundred k. The problem is if we if we
make if we make those little tweaks, we would expect more players. And
you were there when Jared Blesnik I just kind of spoiled it. But you
were there when the final hand was dealt and it was a long late night.
So that would be the con to just keeping it to the late nights.
Yeah, I think some of these players, well the late nights.
Do you really care about the the super late Day two and day three if
you're making a bunch of money? I mean no, Like I think you
want that's when you want the tournament to matter more. You want the structure
to be pretty good versus like a you know, more of a turbo type
of structure. Make that for day one, get these guys in there,
you know, firing their their two bullets or whatever it is, and let's
go from there. You know, if we are offering day two entry,
and this is something that other casinos don't really do, so we're gonna be
groundbreaking on this as well. Is we're going to experiment with a three rake
set up. So you know, we're obviously known for heavily discounted rake for
untime entry. And what we will do is we'll have a normal fee for
if you come on day two, but if you re enter or enter late
on day one, it's a fee somewhere in the middle. So the goal
with that is if you do bust most people make sense due to it due
to the structure being pretty good, just to come back on day two,
But we really want that field to stay big on day one to just encourage
kind of more people to trickle in. So we're working on a rake structure
where maybe it's you know, somewhere in the middle, so it kind of
encourages you to re enter straight away. Makes sense. I like it.
You mentioned Jared Blesnik he is the winner. Jared took home just under one
point three million dollars. He beaut a very familiar face in the Super High
Rollable streets, and that is Isaac Hackxton finished in second place for eight hundred
thirty six thousand. Stephen Childwick also in the money in then the Super High
Rollerble event. He's been hot. As I mentioned earlier on the second half
of the PGT. He takes third, Isaac Kempton fourth, Aaron Katz fifth,
Frankrvello sixth, and Chino Reem Squeaks in satellite winner one of two was
him and lou Garza got the two seats from the ten K satellite for this
event. So I mean Tim mentioned the length of the final day. I
think it was a fourteen hour final table. I know because I was on
commentary alongside Remkrinkima on the YouTube streets for that and it was long. But
thankfully we had Jared Bleznik there spicing things up, creating some all time moments
in poker streaming, you know opening he was breaking sports cards boxes on stream
in the middle of hands, using time extensions to do that. I mean,
it was, it was incredible. I've also never heard Stephen Chidwick say
as many words at a final table as he did there I would say that
that's the the Jared Blessnick effect, is that Steven Chidwick was even dropping some
one liners from here and there. So it was a it was a fun,
fun final table a lot of of course extremely high level Potlam and Omaha
play, So yeah, it was. It was a fun event overall.
In the congratus to sorry just Jared Blessnik for winning that one. Jared blezsnan,
I mean he's a good winner for this because he's PLO through and through.
I mean that's all he plays, you know, that's his game.
And of course the higher the buy in the the more likelihood it is that
Jared Blesnik is going to be out there battling in a Potlam and Omaha tournament.
So the PLO specialists were certainly out in force for this event and it
showed out. So we'll see if we're gonna be running this one back next
year. I would guess yes, but of course we'll see how it goes
and hopefully we can continue to grow this one. I will also say that
because we dipped our toes in the water here with a hundred k polo event,
we'll probably see a hundred K polo event at the World Series of Poker
wouldn't, wouldn't you say? I mean they would they would copy paste us?
Yeah, sure, why not? I mean listen, first, who
cares if they copy and pastes? They should have one. Yeah, because
the twenty five k crushed, the fifty k crushed. I mean, there's
no reason why they They could even probably do like a two fifty k to
be honest, like they could. The World Series Worker could certainly do a
really big buy in PLO Super high Roller. They already have the two hundred
fifty k Super high Roller Nolanan hold them, so maybe they do a two
hundred fifty k PLO Super Higher Old. I certainly think that they could.
I bet that they could get forty entries for that. I think so too.
Yeah, I mean, which is like, that's that's that would be
enough for me to to run the event. I mean, yeah, you
just need three entries really to run any event. But I agree two fifty
would be they want to make a real splash, you know, that would
be what I would do. Yeah, I mean I think that it's It's
also something if I'm the World Series of Poker, I think you have to
strike while the iron is hot. Right now, Potlam and Omaha is hot.
It's it's doing very well everywhere. You know. I think we all
we saw it at the first pgt PLO series, you know, back in
the spring. I think we saw it even more so front and center just
with the heightened exposure during the summer at the World Series of Poker. I
think it's just continuing now. So I think that next year. I don't
think you can wait like three to four years and then run a two hundred
and fifty k PLO, because I mean you could wait. I mean,
it's not to say that it won't work, but there's a chance that the
market kind of dies down a little bit by that time. Things cool off,
So I would just slap it out there and let's go, like I
would. I would do it next year, like let's you know, let's
go. So I think that would be, you know, very cool to
have on the schedule. And I think we're going to see a six figure
Potlomon Omaha buy and at the World Series of Poker coming up in twenty twenty
four, will be my guest. So that super high level PLO let into
a PGT PLO series. Two event winners included Matthew Woman, Helas Parson and
Steph Steven Hubbard, Sorry, Adam Hendrix, Price, Jackey Jossamoo, Benjamin
Jujas, Zenkai, Daniel Ging, and David Wang. Ging was crowned the
PGT PLO Series Champion, taking home twenty five thousand dollars in bonus prize money.
He had four hundred and eighty one PGT points. Ging interesting newcomer on
the PGT you know, hadn't played any events. Saw him before the first
event in the studio, he was the only person in there. It was
me, it was him. It was the cashier at the cage and it
was TD Paul Campbell. Daniel Ging asked the cashier about the million dollar freerroll.
Cashier really didn't know about it. So I talked to Daniel a little
bit about it, you know, about the what the million dollar free roll
is, also what the bonus money is for all that sort of stuff.
So it was kind of funny just telling him, you know, about these
bonuses for the series, the PGT leaderboard, the points, the million dollar
free role, all that sort of stuff. And then and behold, he
goes on and wins the PGT PLO series. So it's kind of funny how
that whole thing came full circle. Pretty good turnout overall. I think numbers
were down slightly, but but not as much as the mixed games was down.
So I you know, I think that the the PLO guys, I
mean, listen, they love to come out, they love to blast.
There are some different areas outside of the World Series of Poker to play Potlam
and Omaha tournaments. It's just a little bit more popular than than mixed game
stuff, especially at higher buy ins. For example, King's Casino does the
Big Rap, which is a PLO series over there, So that's something that
a lot of these guys, a lot of these guys that came over from
Europe, they played that. They came over here for this, so so
yeah, I thought it was a good turnout. It was also the debut
of the brand new studio room at the Poker Ghost Studio. We took what
we call the Triangle Studio because it's shaped like a triangle. That's like the
that's like the break desk area, the commentary booth area, times what green
screen room, all that sort of stuff. Did a big renovation for a
couple months, changed that thing into an actual functional room with a poker table,
rf ID cards, et cetera. The whole bang. We streamed the
whole PGT PLO series from there on YouTube. Looked a lot better than I
thought it was gonna look, which is great. You know, kudos to
the team forgetting that together. I didn't do a damn thing renovating that room,
so I cannot take any credit for us. It looks awesome, so
I guess just on that it gives us a bit more flexibility with what we
can do within the Poker Grost studio. We obviously have the main studio room
where we can put the big set, but one of the reasons why we
use that room for the PLO series is because the PLO series gets pretty big
fields and we need the additional space in the main room. So maybe we
do some different types of events and bigger events with streaming going forward out of
the studio. That allows us, for one, a studio streaming room,
but then also lots and lots of tables or as many tables as we can
fit in the main room. So that's gonna be fun overall. So yeah,
and then there was what two Aria Pelo events. Yeah, we had
two higher roll of Palo events in the middle. We took a two day
break for the Stormmakes Invitational, and yeah, two guys that won those for
firing heavily during the PLO series. Isaac Kempton top seventy one entrance, he
won one hundred and eighty four k. Jesse Lonas on a heater lately sixty
seven entrance, he won one hundred and eighty seven thousand dollars. So Jesse
Lawss has been on fire by the way recently. So and then PGT sprint,
this is your this is your idea, my idea, I said,
you know, I feel like we got the NPT coming or returning, and
it's returning in Las Vegas into them. We got Formula one coming up,
you know, well it's coming up in what a couple of days a week
or so this weekend from when we're recording this on Monday, November thirteenth,
But it's coming up towards the back half of November. So why don't we
do a PGT sprint. You know, I think they got they got sprints
on F one, so you know, we can kind of draw from that
that name, we can run a little turbo series. Tim pushed it through
We had four events. They were all single day tournaments, thirty minute levels,
so a little bit faster. Also had a shortened clock play clock twenty
seconds per action with twenty second time extensions. Three five k's one ten K.
Pretty good turnout with this, yeah, yeah, yeah, So we
were thinking forty players and we got kind of blown away, and yeah,
we were like, you know, we kind of need thirty to forty players
for this to this to be deemed worth it. You know, we also
wanted to give something. We wanted to get something to like our type of
players that can lead into the whole NAPT series that can allow them to earn
some additional PGT points if that's what they're chasing for, you know, build
up the leaderboard, all that sort of stuff, which is you know,
I think we achieved that goal. First event at sixty three entries, second
one at fifty two, then sixty four, then the ten K at thirty
five, so you know, single day day turbos. I think these did
all right. You know, there was a lot of good names out there
blasting as well. You had John Reardan winning the first event, you had
Isaac Kempton winning the second event, Ping Lou won the third event, and
then John Hennigan chopped the final event three ways with Nick Shulman and Channon Shore.
So really good turnout for this, you know, granted or sorry,
given that we put it together basically three weeks at a time, kind of
slapped it out there, but you know, I guess, big thanks to
the players for showing up for this. And you know, I would say
that in terms of like the PGT Sprint, it's at least from where I
stand and what I would want this series, I guess if you're going to
call to be is just something that we can kind of interject at different points
of the schedule when we feel like there might be kind of a lull in
the PGT stuff. So yeah, you know, it's we obviously have the
ability to do Aria high Rollers, but those are always played in the ARIA
poker room, so you know, this was played in the studio. I
mean, the Aria high Rollers are great, it's just you know, it's
a different brand. This gives us something that's PGT related more so. It's
turbo whatever. Let us experiment because we experimented with the price point. We
hadn't done five K no limit events. Let us experiment with the shot clock
and the amount of time extensions, and yeah, I think we can.
Definitely next season we'll see a few more of these smaller series that people can
come kind of you know, come out for a week, play you know,
four or five, six events or whatever it might be, and then
you know, get that poker fix and head home. Yeah. I mean,
and also if if the F one stays in Vegas for ten years,
which is what they originally plan to do, they plan to do that race
every single year in Las Vegas for ten years, maybe we pair it up
in that sort of month or time frame, you know, just because the
branding kind of matches up right, So maybe that's the thinking there. You
know, as you mentioned, you mentioned the five ks and running more of
those, so giving a little bit of a lower buying player access to play
our events, earn some PGT points, get in the studio, all that
sort of stuff, and experience that. So so yeah, I think this
is kind of a good thing to have. Not that like it's I would
say that it's probably not guaranteed that we roll it out every single season,
but it's always in our back pocket. Yeah, and we can always put
it out there. We can always run the PGT sprint, so we could
just use on the names PGT pit stop. Maybe I don't know, PGT
spit stop. Yeah, you know, maybe that would be a slower one.
That might be a slow series. I don't know. Okay, just
quickly. This episode of the Poker Gol Podcast is also brought to you by

The way that the PGT leaderboard shakes out is you have Isaac Axton moving
into the top spot. He's got two thy five hundred and forty eight points.
Daniel Weinman, the WSP main event winner from the summer, is knocked
down to second place. Chris Brewer is currently third, Steven Chidwick is fourth,
and Alex Foxon is fifth. So the PGT leaderboard is important because the
top forty on that leaderboard at the end of the season qualify for the season
ending PGT Championship that is a million dollars free roll, five hundred thousand dollars
to first place, additional prizes for players that finish in some spots at the
final table. That'll be a two day event. It is invite only.
You either have to win a dream seat, which several people have done,
or you have to qualify via the PGT leaderboard. So that race is hot
and heavy. You know a lot of people moving in and out of the
top forty. I just ran through the top five, but those people are
kind of locked in. That said, the people that are pretty much locked
in are still going to play for points because points equal starting chips. Yeah,
in the event. And then not only that, but if you finish
a top the leaderboard, there is a fifty thousand dollars bonus for the Player
of the Year, that is the player to earn the most points during the
regular season. Last year, that player of the Year was Steven Chidwick.
He's currently fourth entering. You know, kind of this final stretch, these
final what three months of the of the PGT season, and we got WSP
Europe stuff happening that qualifies. You got WASP Paris or sart Paris. They
missed to be Paradise, that qualifies several events there. You've got some Aria
high rollers, You've got PGT Last Chance. We'll talk on all that sort
of stuff in a little bit, but first I think I think Tim you
should just go over some of these movers and shakers. Yes, we've had
a lot of it. Yeah, so we touched on you know, we've
recently run thirty nine events in fifty one days, and a lot of people
moving up the leaderboard, a lot of people, you know, getting zero
points. But the biggest movers we've noticed Steven Shiitdwick. We've talked about a
bunch over the last eight weeks or so, he's amassed twelve hundred and twenty
seven PGD points, which is basically sixty percent of his total one win,
seven cashes, two point seven million in earnings. Chino Reim nine hundred and
twenty one PGD points, that's ninety percent of his current allotment of points.
He sits in thirty fourth with onenty twenty nine. He's had two wins,
eleven cashs just shive point two million in earnings. Isaac Haxsaon have talked about
eight hundred and thirty nine PGT points. He's picked up. Nick Schulman six
hundred and seventy nine PGT points. That's sixty one percent of his total points.
Right now, he has two wins, seven cashes. He has moved
up to twenty eighth place. Isaac Kempton also had two wins. He's picked
up four hundred and thirty six PGT points. He currently sits in twenty six
spots, so just the head of Shulman. Max Coleman snuck into the top
forties, currently thirty fifth with one thy twenty seven points, seven cashes he's
earned during this stretch of events, one win, which is the PGT Mixed
Games Championship. Three hundred and fifty eight PGT points he's picked up in this
stretch. So a few names they're making a little run into the top forty
or you know, up into the top five, et cetera. But I
think a lot of these guys they're pretty focused on, you know, qualifying
for this free rold, you know, figuring out, okay, how far
are they off ferment, where can they earn the most point? Should they
go to Paradise, all these like questions as we you know, hit that
tile end of the season. And then of course you know there's there's players
who are they're on the outside looking in of that top forty. Maybe they
just got recently knocked out, you know. Right now, fortieth place is
Daniel Holzner, he made the WSB Main Event final table, and then right
behind him in forty first place, two points behind him is Adrian Matteos.
I got some breaking news. What's that Matteo's currently in the money WSP Main
Event Europe, so he has leapfrogged holes. Now he's in the top forty.
Okay, now he's just looking up. Well, I was gonna say
he's he's for sure WSP Europe. So he's you know, there's a good
chance that he gets some more points. I'm guessing he's going to WSP Paradise
because that's what Mateos does. He plays all those big buying events. So
I'd say there's a high likelihood that he gets into the top forty. And
then you know, you just broke the news, which is great. You've
got Alex Livingston in forty third place. You got Brian Rass. I know
Brian Rass has been kind of like in and out of the top forty,
and he's now in forty fifth place. And I also know that he's he
wants to make the top forty. He for sure wants to make it like
he's showing up playing the PGT Sprint five k's because he wants to. He
wants to get these points, so he's going to be out there there battling.
Dan Smith is another guy who's you know close, He's in forty seventh
place. Aram Zobian is in forty eighth place. You got Jim Colby who's
in forty ninth. I know you kind of talk with him where he's like,
I gotta play these events now. So he's going to be out there
battling. Justin Bonomo hasn't played a ton of stuff on the PGT this year,
but he's in fiftieth place. He's within striking distance, and with all
the big stuff that's going on at Wissippi Paradise, I'm guessing we probably see
him there at least challenging to get into the into the the top forty.
So yeah, it's gonna be it's gonna be an interesting race, you know.
So we'll see how it goes, I guess. And then of course,
you know there's people that could fall out. Notcho Barbaras the year of
Nacho, at least it was the year it was, yeah for you know,
not that he hasn't done well lately, but you know he's now in
thirty six plays Andrew Lichtenberger thirty eighthn Wiseman thirty nine, So those guys might
need another result or two to really lock themselves in. So the race is
hot and heavy. I mean, I love leaderboard type of stuff. I
think it's a lot of fun that we've implemented this within the within the tour,
so we'll see how it goes. And it's something that both Tim and
I are going to be tracking pretty closely. So yeah, it's a lot
of fun. And then I mean we've kind of we've kind of hit on
WSP Europe, but I mean maybe you want to run through just kind of
what's coming up for qualifying events on the PGTAM. Yeah, we touched on
the three WSP Euroup events we have after Thanksgiving. We have four Ari high
rollers here in Las Vegas, and I think that's going to be an interesting
series if people want to stay here play for the points, or I head
to Seminal to play there. You know, the annual Thanksgiving festival where you
know, I think it's a thirty five hundred two million guarantee. After that,
obviously WSP Paradise that's going to be a big one that's going to really
really settle where everyone is heading into the final series. It's my favorite series.
I think it's going to be the biggest series we've ever had at this
price point. It's called PGT Last Chance. It's running January second to January
seventh. Six events, all ten k's all unlimited re entry, you know,
very similar to our like Aria high roller structures. For those players that
are aware of those. Here's the kicker to this. The top two players.
There's going to be a leaderboard PGT Last Chance Leaderboard, and the two
highest ranked players that do not qualify for the top forty will win the final
two dream seats into the PGT Championship. So let's pretend you know, Isaac
Hackson, Steven Chidwick, Daniel mcgrano finished first, second, third on the
PGT Last Chance leaderboard, and you, Donny Peters decided to say, stuff
it, I don't want to work anymore. I'm gonna go qualify for the
championship. And you maybe you know, you win Last Chance Event one,
you finish you know, fifth in another one and fourth in another, and
you're ranked fourth on this PGT Last Chance leaderboard. Well guess what you're in
the million dollar free role. The PGT Championship. So there's gonna be two
of those dream seats up for grabs, and I think that's going to really
play to the favor of players that you know, haven't played that much this
year, or you know, maybe have struggled that haven't really got a lot
of points. If we look, you know, we here's a name,
ed Sebesta. You know, we saw him at the Pogago Cup. Maybe
he's like, I'll give you another name, John Rear John. Well,
he's he's like he's been always in the studio. Yeah, but I'm saying
I'm saying he falls into like the struggling a. Yeah, so he just
hasn't won enough points, right, So he's he's certainly putting in the time,
like he's there. Yeah, you know, he just hasn't done well.
Maybe like a Shannon Shore type, like those types of guys who are
they are regularly out playing in the studio events, especially in the ten kar
events, they just haven't put up the results. So I'll give you another
good name. You know, a bit of a spoiler for next episode.
Samuel Laskowitz, you know, had a pretty good NAPT series. You know,
he's not near the top forty, but maybe he parlays this run good
I during PGT Last Chance and makes a run and brings one of these last
dream seats. So that's the concept behind it. I think it's gonna you
know, there's gonna be people that are coming out that don't play a lot
that are trying to win this seat. But also if you're in the top
forty or just outside, you really kind of have to play to kind of
either lock up your seat or get those much needed points to sneak into the
top forty. Because I think most of the season we've said, you know,
twelve hundred points is we think is going to be the floor. Right
now, twelve hundred points is twenty second place. So there's I mean,
I think there's I think there's four or four things that the PGT Last Chance
achieves, or like four things that's gonna solidify. One is, of course
the two dream seat winners, which you already touched on. Yeah. Another
one is I kind of touched on it a little bit earlier, but I
think it becomes more in play with PGT Last Chances. You know, someone
like Jeremy Osmas who's in he's in seventh place on the leaderboard, so he's
extremely likely to get into the top forty. So you might be sitting to
yourself, well, why would why would Jeremy Osmas play PGT Last Chance?
Well because starting chips in the championship have to do with points, okay,
so he can better his positioning better the starting chips he goes into the PGT
Championship with. So there's those two things. There's also, as you just
mentioned, you know, the top forty in general, like the people on
the cusp are the people at the bottom of the top forty, you know,
those people are all gonna be jocking for position, And yeah, I
don't I can't really guess how far out you would be, but I would
say, what two to three hundred points if you're within the top forty in
that regard, like, you can probably get into the PGT top forty if
you if you run pretty hot, you win an event or two, you
know, you come into a couple other final tables whatever. I mean,
We've seen it plenty of times before, right, so that could happen.
And then also the very top of the leader board the fifty thousand dollars Player
of the Year prize, Like so if you're an Isaac Hackson or a Chris
Brewer or Steven Childwick. You know, is Isaac Hackson just want to sit
on his lead? Is Chris Brewer and Steven Chidwick and Alex Foxen, like
you know they're in the top five, Like are they going to come out
and try and overtake Isaac Hackson? Because if they do their Player of the
Year and they get a fifty thousand dollars bonus, right, And then I
guess the other thing is it's it's a bit of a warm up for the
PGG Championship. You know. So if you're someone like Daniel Weinman, where
you're gonna get in, you haven't really played any poker at least from what
I can tell, since you're obviously mad an event win. So maybe you
just come out you kind of get acclimated to the studio, the players,
the structure, like all that sort of stuff, And it's a little bit
of a warm up for ultimately going in the PGC Championship. So super super
super cool event with all of those things that are going to be at play
at one time. So a lot of fun there. Yeah, one agree
with all of that, all right, I mean what else we got,
Well, Hi, sake Spoke is wrapping up, so I need everyone to
go watch the end of season eleven. Two more episodes. One is Monday
Night till tonight tonight and tomorrow tonight is I think the introduction of Nick air
Ball correct it is will be on there, so that'll be fun, of
course, I mean, Heisac Spoker. It's been it's been really really great
this season eleven. I would put this season eleven up there, and I
know I've mentioned this before on the podcast, but up there with some of
the best seasons of that show. I really think it's been just top notch
overall. You know, the the lineups have been great, the stakes have
been super high. You know, there's been a lot of fun hands,
a lot of interesting uh and entertaining table talk and banter and all that sort
of stuff. So I think High Stakes Poker is kind of in kind of
a weird way, having a bit of a renaissance moment, which is really
good. And then we'll see what what season twelve brings. I know they're
they're filming right now, so we'll see what. Yeah, we'll see what
happens from that. I'm not going to the filming because I'm not going anywhere
near the damn strip during this nonsense that is F one. So yeah,
uh, we got the NAPT wrapped up over the weekend. Coming up probably
in what two or three days, Tim and I are going to be doing
another episode of the Poker Girl podcast, So we'll be talking about the n
A p T. I mean there's a lot, there's a lot to unpack
there. Yes, of course we got to talk about the winners. We're
gonna talk in gen event which is in the turn. Yeah, you know,
all that sort of stuff. So yeah, we're going to talk about
that. The World Poker Tour has an event. I know it's hard to
believe that the World Porper two is actually having a main tour event, but
they are. It's happening at the Best Bet in Jacksonville, actually one of
the best events at the World Port ever. Pick the Best Bet Scramble.
I mean it's it's really it really is incredible. I always love the Best
Bet Scramble. I also always love the Bounty Superstars that was run at Bay
one on one, which unfortunately is no longer. But if I was advising
the WPT, I would say you should either bring that event back to Bay
one on one maybe. I mean, I don't know exactly what's going on
there. I'm sure our buddy Matt Savage will text us and tell us why
it can't happen at Bay one on one or isn't happening or take the event
put it elsewhere, right, because that's just a really cool event. So
there's that. So yeah, a lot of fun. So oh and then
of course would Europe, we'll hit on that all happening because I think the
main event just set a new record for Europe, so we'll talk on all
that sort of stuff. Tim mentioned earlier that adrianman hero Us is in the
money. That event does count for the PGT leader board, so we'll be
able to discuss, you know, kind of what's happening there for that.
And yeah, so a lot of fun. I mean, we're going into
we're going into the end of the year, but it's an extremely massive time
for poker. We have WSP Paradise that's gonna take up what fifteen days or
so at the end of November early December, and then you have of course
WPT World Championship is returning to the win. They're having a forty million dollar
guarantee that's taking place for twenty days at the beginning of December. So yeah,
there's a whole heck of a ton of stuff that's coming on. There's
also, like I think Kevin Math tweeted it out recently, a couple of
weeks ago maybe, but everything else that's going on in Las Vegas during the
WPT World Championship, I mean, in a way, it's it's like a
mini it's like a mini WSP type of timeframe in that you know, you
have the big marquee series, which is the w PT World Championship, and
then you have all these other venues around town that are kind of trying to
like get their piece of the pie in a way, you know, like
I think Binions is doing something. I know, I think it's Binions,
or maybe it's Golden Nugget, one of those two is doing something. I
think Venetian I think has stuff going on. MGM is running stuff. Then.
So I mean there's just a ton of stuff going on. You know,
it doesn't really matter all your The WPT World Championship in and of itself
has price points for everyone. Yeah, but then also there's there's stuff going
on you know, all around town. So if you're in in Vegas during
those first two to three weeks of December, tons of stuff to play everywhere.
So that's gonna be a lot of fun. You want to do a
family pot. I mean, I don't think I have anything. That's what
you say every week and then you think of something. No, but I
really don't think I have anything this time. Play the music, all right,
what do you got? I think I have found the cheat code to
parenting. Okay, sell your kids. That's number one. Yes, so
this is this is number two. You know, these kids, they love
iPad time. My son is is quite into countries and flags at the moment.
He's drawing flags. He's studying countries and drawing countries and stuff. He
knows every flag, like you see on TikTok those videos where they're showing people
flags and there's ones I don't know, and I show him and he's like
Somalia, Costa Rica. He just he's a freak. But anyway, he's
like I really want to learn, Like, are those like the videos?
Are those the videos like on the street? Yeah? Everyone, he nails
everyone, quick a side, Quick a side? Is that somebody in poker
media needs to steal that idea. You know, it's not just flags.
Sometimes they'll be like, hey, what's you know seventy seven plus eleven and
then the person will say fifty five and it's just you know, like do
that at the World Series of Poker for poker stuff, we should like stop
a guy in the hallway and say like, hey, do you know who
this is and show them a picture of like Joe Hasham and they're gonna say
like Chris Ferguson or like something up surd you know, right. But like,
so poker media out there, this is your free piece of advice.
This is like a this is a social media gem. It'll take you all
of ten minutes to film this. You can do one every single day,
throw it out there on TikTok, Twitter, Instagram stories, et cetera.
And it's just this is a very easy win for all of the poker media
Outlet's out there. Yeah, be a lot of fun too. I mean
you absolutely just clown on people. People would get stuff right, of course,
people would get stuff incredibly wrong, and it would just be a lot
of fun. So that's the free piece of advice for the poker media.
A side tangent to that. I went on hand and Mob because obviously Handon
has a lot of flags, to quiz him on some flags quickly, which
profile do you think? I went to thinking that this person has the most
flags. Casey, Yeah, you got it, Casey Castle, That's who
I went to. Casey. We went down the flags and he has the
most flags. And he went and he just he he went down the list
and got all of them. Is he still like collecting flags? I mean,
there's not that many to collect anymore, like, yeah, but I
feel like he. I feel like he He was everywhere and I haven't seen
him anywhere. Yeah. His last cash was a couple of weeks ago in
Edinburgh for the UK ip T. There you go. But anyway, so
begin to flags. He's begin two languages. He wants to learn all these
languages. So what I did was I downloaded him du Lingo for kids now
and told him, you know, these kids, they love iPad time.
They want more and more iPad time. They'll do chores for more and more
iPad time. I said to him, if you do do lingo, you
can do unlimited du Lingo on the iPad. So, meaning if he wants
to be on the iPad. He can be on du lingo all day.
So a he gets a be on the iPad, which he thinks is awesome,
but be he's also learning. So I was like, all right,
we'll see how this goes. And you know, I touched on very early
in this episode. I went to Florida for a football trip and he called
me at the airport. I took my he uses my iPad. I took
my iPad with me and his hay dad, and I was thinking, you
know, he's going to be like, hey, have a say flight,
blah blah blah blah. He goes, hey, Dad, I'm on an
eighteen day duo lingo streak. Can you do my duo lingo for me?
And I was like, sure, buddy, no problems anyway. So I'm
there in the airport cheating in Spanish looking up what how are you is in
Spanish to cheat for his streak. But anyway, currently he's on like a
forty eight day streak of du lingo. But for any parents out there,
kids like iPads, I would encourage them to download do Lingo. They now
have duo lingo math and duo lingo music and tell your kid, hey,
you do thirty minutes of you know, dealingo Spanish, you get an extra
hour of iPad time or something. That's my my parenting advice for this week
to any what's the like, what's the age limit? Do you think like
the entry point? I think is like honestly, like probably like five years
old. Yeah, So that's my advice to anyone out there that, you
know, whether the kids smart, cares about languages or whatever, you know,
get them doing this or help them out. They've now got math,
they've now got music, and yeah, you kind of gamify learning, and
I think that that works well with kids. It definitely works with me.
So that's my parenting advice for the week. I like it. I still
got nothing through all of that, but I gave a free piece of media
advice, which that's that's pretty Why don't you do that? You know?
I mean I so I thought about not saying it and then just you know,
pitch internally, but like we do different media stuff during the world.
There as a poker that I just feel like we probably can't take that on.
So if anyone wants it, it's it's there for the take it,
like, you know, go nuts. So and and honestly, I mean
they could all do it, all the media outlets could do It'd be a
lot of fun just to see that sort of thing. So so yeah,
you could really have some fun, kind of wacky questions out there and you
know, really really get some good social media engagement from all of that.
