I will say that this you're 64 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.520 gonna you're gonna come across a theme with everything that 65 00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:54.199 I talk about here. So so let's just let's just 66 00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:56.560 get right into it and the reason why we're doing 67 00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:58.680 this is you know, it's Sunday night as I mentioned earlier, 68 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.759 but tomorrow on my Day, is the official start of 69 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.919 the twenty twenty five Poker gro Tour season, with the 70 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:08.719 first event of the PGT Kickoff series five thousand dollars 71 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:12.719 buy in double points. For all five of these events, 72 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.279 we will be live streaming the final tables on poker 73 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.360 Go Remco and myself will be doing the commentary. So 74 00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:23.040 if that's your sort of jam, hop on in there 75 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:25.759 and give it a listen. It's a it's a really 76 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:27.800 fun series just to start things off, so I'm very 77 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:31.360 much looking forward to it. After the PGT Kickoff, we 78 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:33.720 got the Poker Go Cup, the first of three majors 79 00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:38.399 on the tour. Who's gonna win it, Buddy, Poker Go 80 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:43.319 Cup this year, A'm I gonfess I'm asking you who's 81 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:43.839 gonna win it? 82 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:51.399 I'm gonna take Jeremy Osmas. Oh wow, yeah, I'm not. 83 00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:53.680 I mean just I'm not gonna get you off the bat. 84 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:57.079 H even what prepare for some chalk because you got 85 00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.120 a lot of chalk coming up. That's all I'm gonna say. 86 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:01.439 All Right, you got Jeremy Osmus, who has won the 87 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:03.800 Poker Girl Cup before, Yes, so he would become a 88 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.480 two time winner of the Poker Girl Cup. I'm going 89 00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:11.639 with Brock Wilson, Okay. I feel like Brock is close 90 00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.879 on a lot of occasions to making some noise in 91 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.360 a as it pertains to a major series champion on 92 00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:21.560 the PGT. You know, he's kind of always like hovering 93 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:25.639 in contention. Right, So this is the year I think 94 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.800 Rock Wilson knocks one of those off, and I'll say 95 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.759 that Brock Wilson is going to win the Poker Grol Cup. 96 00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:34.160 The next major that we have, the US Poker Open 97 00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:38.360 coming up in what April? Okay, who's gonna win that one? 98 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:42.319 That one's going to be won by Canadian Daniel O'Gara. 99 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.079 Canadian Daniel Okay, Okay, I got Alex Foxen. 100 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.040 Okay, you know we're all chalk right now. 101 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.879 I mean, why is that chalk? Considering how Foxon's year 102 00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:56.000 was last year, barely made it into the top forty 103 00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:57.639 very much at all. 104 00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:59.879 Have a great year. Yeah, that's how it works. 105 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:03.839 I'm pretty sure that the third of the majors of 106 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.680 the major series, I should say, Poker Masters coming up 107 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:09.720 later this year, September October ish something around there. Who's 108 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:11.720 gonna win that one? The Purple Jacket. 109 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.560 It's a guy that's gonna skip the cup and skip 110 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:16.800 the USPR Steven Childwick. 111 00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:21.839 Wow. Okay, so you got a couple of double winners. Yeah, 112 00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:25.560 because Jeremy Osmas has already won the poperst Cut, Stephen 113 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:28.439 Chidwick has already won the Purple Jacket, So you're going 114 00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:30.959 with them to win again. I'm gonna go with Sean Winter, 115 00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.800 a player who is for sure regular on the PGT, 116 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:41.040 but I feel like often overlooked, Like I feel like 117 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.439 he's always there and like top five, top three stuff 118 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.160 like that. But you know, I don't know, I feel 119 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.199 like a Chidwick and a Grand new and Ozmas like 120 00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:52.720 they get kind of more the the headlines or you know, 121 00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:55.800 people know about them more than a Shawn Winter. But 122 00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.959 Shawn Winter is a crusher on the PGT every single year, 123 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:00.879 all right. I mean, I get the Super High Rollable 124 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:02.759 is a major, but it's not a series really, so 125 00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:05.319 I kind of just have that aside. But anyway, who's 126 00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:06.720 gonna win Super high Rollerball this year? 127 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.839 Well, first of all, which Super High Rollerble three two? 128 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.399 We have three actually now, so you're talking no limit. 129 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:15.120 Are we talking about if it's in America or if 130 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:16.560 it's in international waters? 131 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:20.480 Fine, let's let's that's audible.

So these are like the 190 00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.600 if there was a Mount Rushmore of the PGT, these 191 00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:17.639 six are on it. I know Mount Rushmore is four, 192 00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:19.799 but hell, we're sticking six on it. It doesn't matter. It's 193 00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:23.039 our show. These are the six. Like these guys are, 194 00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:26.720 They're always in the mix for a series title. They're 195 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:29.559 always in the field like you talked about, you know, 196 00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:32.320 in the GRANU playing the most events, like these six 197 00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:34.720 play the most events, like it can kind of be 198 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.000 one of these, you know, I know, I know Chidwick 199 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:39.200 played a little bit less last year. You know, Silver 200 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:41.480 played a little bit less last year. But maybe they 201 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:43.480 come back or they play their regular stuff this year, 202 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:46.080 and you know, they're playing the most events possible. These 203 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:49.799 six players are just they're there every single day. You 204 00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:52.600 can really count on them, you know, you can really 205 00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:55.279 just pretty much bank the fact that they're going to 206 00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:59.799 be in contention for different major titles, if not all 207 00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:01.840 of them, and then of course for the top forty 208 00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:04.919 of the leaderboard. The question is the first question. There's 209 00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:08.240 two questions as it pertains to these six players. Who's 210 00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:11.960 going to have the best PGT season? I think you 211 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:14.519 already answered it, We didn't we both answer that. I mean, yeah, 212 00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:16.879 pretty much, Yeah, okay, I mean so you said Negran 213 00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:20.080 for PGT Player of the Year. I said Fox, All right, 214 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:21.440 who's going to have the worst season? This is the 215 00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:23.120 more fun part of the question, anyway. 216 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:24.000 What do you define as the worst season? 217 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:29.519 Though one okay doesn't show up like over I don't know. 218 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:32.720 Yeah, it's it's Stephen Chadwick. And the main reason is 219 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:34.279 we're talking about volume here. 220 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:36.759 You know, he is just said he's going to win 221 00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:37.559 the Purple Jacket. 222 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:39.759 Yeah, And I said, if you remember, he's going to 223 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:42.120 skip the first two series because he's going to be 224 00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:45.799 off gallivanting on epts and trying events and living in 225 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:49.720 Portugal at the beach playing on gg poker. So of 226 00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:52.720 all the he's the only one that's international. He's more 227 00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:55.720 likely to travel to these other stops, not based here 228 00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:59.200 in Las Vegas. And if you look at last year's leaderboard, 229 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:02.679 he only snuck in finish fortieth. So he is, you know, 230 00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:06.759 the I guess favorite amongst these mount rushmore and a 231 00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:09.720 half of players to fall out and have the worst season. 232 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:14.720 I'm going with Sam silverall And it's not that Sam 233 00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:17.840 soverl is you know, any any less of a player 234 00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:20.320 than anyone else on this list. And he's extremely talented 235 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:23.399 and all that, but it just seems like in recent years, 236 00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:26.399 in recent seasons, like the last season and a half, 237 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:29.360 maybe full two seasons, he's just played less. Yeah, doesn't 238 00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:31.559 show up every single day. Kind of kind of takes 239 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:34.039 the approach of he's gonna play when he feels like 240 00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:36.440 he wants to play, doesn't really force himself to be 241 00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:39.200 out there grinding an entire series, like he'll pop in 242 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:42.519 for like event number two, Skip three, four, come for five, 243 00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:43.960 like you know, he does that all the time. So 244 00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:46.919 just that alone, I'll say that he won't have the 245 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:50.639 volume that I think these other players will have. Therefore, 246 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:52.879 I'm gonna say that he's gonna have the worst season 247 00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:55.279 out of them. And the way that I looked at 248 00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:56.919 the worst is he'll finish the lowest and the leader 249 00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:00.440 of these six heres. So all right, will any of 250 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:03.639 these six players finish outside of the top forty? 251 00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:06.360 I think I think Childwick. I think he may fall out. 252 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:10.879 We're gonna have a lot more I think local, own 253 00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:14.240 and operated events in Vegas and around America this year. 254 00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:18.360 So I think the math says he may fall out. 255 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.480 I got soverall falling in. I just again, the volume 256 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:25.759 thing I think will ultimately kind of bite him at 257 00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:27.519 the end of the day. All right, So pick three 258 00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:30.679 players that didn't finish in the top forty from the 259 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.559 twenty twenty four season to finish in the top forty 260 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:35.240 from the twenty twenty five season. 261 00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:38.480 Do you want to go firsts. What do you want 262 00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:40.559 to make it fest? I mean, you name a name. 263 00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:41.240 I don't name a name. 264 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:43.240 I'm just gonna rip off all three of mine. But 265 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:45.759 I do want to say that for anyone new that's listening. 266 00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:47.720 The reason I keep saying top forty of the PGT 267 00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:51.360 Leaderwards because the top forty is what qualifies for the 268 00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:55.200 season ending PGT Million Dollar Championship pending. You get you know, 269 00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:59.120 the right number of cases at least three, and you 270 00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:02.120 opt in. So so yeah, that's why I keep referencing 271 00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:06.360 top forty, just so you're aware. I got Brock Wilson 272 00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:08.039 going with my guy who I picked him in the 273 00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:10.840 Poke Girl Cup. I got Shannon Shore. Interesting, Okay, I 274 00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:13.679 like that now he made it into the Championship via 275 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:18.360 the dream seats from the Last Chance Series, but didn't 276 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:20.320 in the top forty. But I think Shannon like has 277 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:23.639 had you know, a little bit of a swinging momentum, 278 00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:25.960 a little bit of a heater this year. That helps 279 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:28.639 the bank roll. That means you can play more. You know, 280 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:31.320 he's always playing in the studio. Now it's just a 281 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:32.919 matter of volume. I think we see him put in 282 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:35.440 a little bit more volume and then I got Sam Laskowitz. 283 00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:38.519 I got him, you know, he was he wasn't too 284 00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:41.600 far outside the top forty this year. Fight until the end, 285 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:44.279 but I got him getting up in there. So Wilson, 286 00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:45.919 Shore and Laskowitz for. 287 00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:51.240 Me, done any research on this have I Yeah, I 288 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:54.519 don't know what that means. Sam Lesquit's about that baby. 289 00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:56.399 Who gives a shit? He's a fucking poke. 290 00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:59.080 Yeah, I'm just saying, you know what it's like, having 291 00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:01.120 a baby and trying to play poker makes a little tougher. 292 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:04.120 I'm a normal person. Poker player is not right? 293 00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:06.960 That is that is actually true? Okay. I think my 294 00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:10.559 three players are going to take Matt Wantman, you know, 295 00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:13.480 finished just outside the top forty this year last year. 296 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:15.120 Sorry, that's a good one. 297 00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:17.320 Yeah. I think he's he's good to get in. I 298 00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:21.159 gotta take my boy. He's giving me grief. Jeremy Becker, 299 00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:25.840 this is his season. He is gonna make the top forty. 300 00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:29.240 And then my third one is Joey Weisman skip the 301 00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:31.679 back half of the year. I think he still finished 302 00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:36.279 like in the top sixty. He did play PGT Last Chance, 303 00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:38.919 had a final table there, but pretty much skipped the 304 00:15:38.919 --> 00:15:42.039 back half of the season and still was just within 305 00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:44.759 reaching distance of the top forty. So if he puts 306 00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:48.000 in a full year of volume, he's my he's my 307 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:49.440 pick to get in there this year. 308 00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:53.639 All right. So this next one, I'm gonna go first 309 00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:56.879 again because it's picked three players from the twenty twenty 310 00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.600 four top forty to fall outside this year. I don't 311 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:02.840 just pick like Jonathan Tomayo and the WSPH. 312 00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:04.320 Yeah that's fine, Yeah, good, Yeah, that's. 313 00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:09.320 So I went with Sam's overall shocker. I've shown him 314 00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:11.759 so far. This one might be a surprise to you, 315 00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:16.799 but I got redlinn. Wow. My reason is so listen, 316 00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:19.639 I love Redlin, He's an absolute character. But I just 317 00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:24.120 I feel like last season he started to do a 318 00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:28.159 little bit of a dancing around the globe in terms 319 00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:30.720 of like where he's playing and what he's doing. Played 320 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.399 some more Triton stuff, was that, some EPT stuff, all 321 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:35.799 of this. So what if he just doesn't play a 322 00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:37.559 lot of the PGT stuff. What if he just says, 323 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:40.440 you know what, maybe I'll just bounce around and play 324 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:43.639 other stuff. So who knows that? That's kind of my 325 00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:47.720 my lean there. And then so I know that this 326 00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:50.639 next name is I guess technically w S a P 327 00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:53.039 final table related, but he also played enough of our 328 00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:55.799 events that I felt like I included him. That's Brian Kim, 329 00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:56.840 and he played. 330 00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:59.159 You got some inside of information. 331 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:01.399 I don't have any inside from I'm rank him. I 332 00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:05.599 just I just feel like he might just be kind 333 00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:10.920 of over tournaments. It's a freaking brind man, or at 334 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:12.839 least over like such a big grind. I don't know. 335 00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:15.960 I mean, he lives in Australia, maybe he's maybe he 336 00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:18.279 doesn't chase as much. I don't know. I just you know, 337 00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:21.079 who knows. 338 00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:23.960 I'm not taking Stephen Hildwick, but I'm going to take 339 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:28.279 three players that had very good wsps, but you could 340 00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:30.640 kind of count as regular as just due to volume 341 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:35.880 and previous history. First one, Scott sever you know, he 342 00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:38.079 only had eight cashs. He had two big wins in 343 00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:43.240 PGT qualifying events at the WSP, so you know, he 344 00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:45.920 won Player of the Year who had an outstanding series, 345 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:47.680 and who knows, he may just go back to Bobby's 346 00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:49.599 room for the entire summer and not play a single 347 00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:51.680 WSP event, so he's out. 348 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:55.839 Don't tell the people at WPT there I saw on 349 00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.000 their bold predictions him to win three bracelets. 350 00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:02.160 Again, well he's they're idiots. No, I love those guys, 351 00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:09.440 but there it is. My next one is is Philip Ivy. Now, yes, 352 00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:12.960 he doesn't play in the studio, but he plays every 353 00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:18.200 PGT qualifying event. He had I think eight or nine 354 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:20.480 cashes at the WSP last year. He had a couple 355 00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:24.079 at the Super High Rollers series in Cypress. He had 356 00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:27.000 a great year. Obviously, one he's eleventh bracelet. He ain't 357 00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:30.440 going to repeat that, he's gone. And then my third one, 358 00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:34.119 someone I wish was playing more PGT events in the 359 00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:37.400 studio is Chance Corneth. He's told me why he doesn't 360 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:40.200 come to the studio that often, but he does love 361 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:43.000 the WSP and he had I think four final tables 362 00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:47.119 which pretty much thrust him into the top twenty at 363 00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:49.279 one point, and then he didn't play anything else. So 364 00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:54.359 obviously it was a big season from him at the WSP. 365 00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:56.759 It would be tough to repeat that. I think he 366 00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:59.960 will be one that also falls out of the top four. 367 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:03.079 All right, who's going to have a breakout season on 368 00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:03.680 the PGT? 369 00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:06.960 I mean from some guy that complains a lot about 370 00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:09.119 the breakout player of the year for the GPI Awards. 371 00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:11.279 I can't believe you put this question in, But how 372 00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:13.720 do we define breakout season? What do you want to 373 00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:15.839 define it as? Because that's the way I'm. I didn't 374 00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:17.480 have anyone written down because I'm. 375 00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:20.200 My definition of it as it pertains to the PGT 376 00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:25.200 is like they're not really known as much to the 377 00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:28.279 PGT fan base, Like they're not they're not at Alex 378 00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:31.359 faxon the Grand New Jeremy alsm A Soverall Winter Chiitwig, 379 00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:34.759 et cetera. They just haven't had those those really big 380 00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:38.119 breakthrough seasons. Like I would basically say, like somebody that 381 00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:43.200 is this season's David Coleman from last season who came out, 382 00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:46.359 had those wins early, you know, performed really well all 383 00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:49.400 season long, mayor to the championship, you know, blah blah blah. 384 00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:52.559 He basically became a name. I mean everyone, most of 385 00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:55.039 the people that play on the PGT are already names. 386 00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:55.519 Anyway. 387 00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:57.920 Yeah, like you have to you have to like perform 388 00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:00.559 on the PGG. You've got to start winning tournaments, win 389 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:03.240 one of the series titles, like get into the top forty, 390 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:05.960 that sort of stuff. So that's how I got I 391 00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:11.240 got one. Go ahead, Michael Joseph Oh I thought of him. 392 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:14.960 Yeah, I think I think by the way, I think 393 00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:19.720 he qualifies for all those you know, deliverables that you mentioned. 394 00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:24.960 I have John Reardon, King John Reardon, who puts in 395 00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:28.799 a crap of volume on the PGT, but like never 396 00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:32.359 like it all every season on the PGT. It like 397 00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:34.480 gets to the end of the season and I'm like, 398 00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:37.519 where's John Reardon points? And I look, he's got like 399 00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:40.319 two hundred. I'm like, what, Like he's here every day, 400 00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:42.759 What's what's happening? And like he's it's not like he's 401 00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:45.599
