So that's similar to what you're saying in a sense like the read is correct.

I mean, one thing that I learned, my biggest takeaway from this show, I have to say, is...

All right, everybody, welcome to the final Game of Gold recap episode.

This is it. We've come to the end.

We're going to talk about episode 12, the extended episode, almost two hours,

is when all of them had been an hour up until this point.

So this podcast might go a little bit longer than some of the past ones because we've

got so much to talk about, so much to get to.

We've got the entire final table of six, play down to a winner. Unlike, you know, under the, we watch a final table in a sit and go on TV. You know, this is winner take all. There's no second prize. There's no third prize. And we'll talk about that. But first off, thoughts on the format here when we get to the final table,

all the big blinds, the different stuff. Terrence, are you ready for a fun final table here?

Were you ready for it? Oh, absolutely. And so deep. I mean, how often do you get a final table

where I don't know what the average stack is here, but it's like pushing 200. Maria with 260

blinds and Josh with 220 and your viral too. It was a super deep final table. I was like, let's see some poker. And, you know, I'm the kind of guy. I've always said like, watching no limit on hold them on TV doesn't excite me. But now I'm emotionally invested in this. And, you know, we saw the episode. It was pretty much all poker with just some interviews.

But I think it's good.

This one is for the hardcores, but even for the casuals who don't want to talk about the minutiaers of blockers and solvers.

We're invested in these people now.

And that's why we're going to do a lot of poker.

Yeah, no question.

I think part of what made poker cool on TV way back when was some background on the players.

You know, myself, for example, having my mother make lunch, oh, he's the mama's boy.

And then, you know, you had Chris Ferguson.

They called the Jesus.
