Hey everybody, it is still September. I know we have a lot to discuss, but it is still September September is childhood cancer awareness month and as always or at least for the past several years we here at ATP are working for slash with relay to try to raise money to just defeat childhood cancer and our charity of choices,

we are going to make this particular plug really quick because we have a lot to talk about and I would like to go to bed before 3 in the morning, but suffice to say a lot of us may have already spent some money today.

In fact, I might have done that, we will talk about that at some point I am sure. But nevertheless, you might be spending a lot of money today, you might be doing it for something that you may not entirely need.

If you have a couple extra dollars to send to Saint Jude's way, I would strongly recommend it. So go to saintjew.org slash atpstjud.org slash atp and please donate a few bucks. It can be 5, it can be 1, it can be 500, 5000.

Hell, if you have 5 million dollars laying around you want to get Saint Jude, all the more to you, that's awesome and you will get all the stickers. I actually breaking news do do do do do do do do do do do do do do I have new stickers on the way. So I haven't exactly decided what the threshold is to earn you a sticker yet because I just haven't, but I guarantee that if you donate 5 million dollars I will give you 170 whatever dollars worth a sticker is that are heading my way.

So you could have all the ATP sticker to ever want I think was like 500 stickers, but anyway, if you donate less than 5 million dollars, then we'll have to see, but I strongly encourage you please and thank you to donate to Saint Jude at Saint Jude.org slash atp. It is a very, very worthy cause. We have thrown our time, our energy and our money behind it.

We were doing something special to three of us together and we decided, okay, let's go ahead and do the donations, which was very kind of my two co host because typically those jerks decided to do it when I'm in the midst of recording another podcast or generally not in the right headspace for filling out a very simple online form, which by the way does take apple pay. So no excuses everyone Saint Jude.org slash atp.

Anyway, we were filling this out and I was filling it out and then I realized I needed correct something and I went back and as we're filling this out I'm laughing with Marco and John saying, what are we going to do to make like something funny this year because there was the asterisk year.

There was two years ago I think and last year there was something funny with me donating a little bit more than everyone or something like that I forget I've already lost track but it doesn't matter there's always something goofy that happens every single year.

And we couldn't come up with anything deliberate to happen so Marco happened to fill out his donation first and we agreed that we were all going to donate $7,000 a piece as we spoke about last episode so for a sum total of $21,000.

And Marco filled his out on behalf of him and Tiff and you had donated what seven thousand in two dollars is that right.

Something like that. Yeah, because I was like I'm going to beat those guys because I'm like I'm like someone's going to be a smart ass and give seven thousand and one.

So I'm going to do seven thousand two.

Right. I'm going to out smart ass these smart asses and so Marco almost succeeded in that but because I accidentally had to go back and fix something I thought to myself.

Accidentally. Let's go with that we're going to use we're going to use that as a story. So I decided to go back and you know fix whatever mistake I may or may not have made and then oh I will open a private window and I will refresh st.

Jude.org slash ATP SDJ U D E dot org slash ATP and oh low and behold Tiff and Marco arm and seven thousand two dollars.

Well, I will donate seven thousand and three dollars because I'm a big chair. And from this part of the story you can learn that Casey is a cheater because these sort of unwritten agreement here is we're all going to donate and it was kind of like a game of chicken.

We agreed on how much we're going to donate but we also know and had discussed in the previous show like, but sometimes someone gives a little bit more to try to be the top one.

So the whole point was let's all do it at the same time and let's not look at what the other people don't it. It was unsaid that was unsaid it was an unstated gentleman's agreement and I'm not a gentleman so I didn't agree.

So anyway, so I donate my seven thousand and three dollars but in the time between Tiff and Marco arm and seven thousand and two dollars and Casey and her own list is seven thousand and three dollars some turd decides to swoop in and donate seven thousand and seven dollars and ruin everything.

So John Syracusa you are as we record right now the leader the champion at seven thousand and seven dollars well done you and sufferable pain in my bottom.

Johnny, I would love it. Look at the symmetry plus a double of seven in there as well. I don't know how you can resist that. And so Marco and I played correctly you cheated and you lost anyway.
