Beyond and Hello, everyone. My name is Jonathan Normusch and this is podcast Beyond.

IGM's weekly PlayStation show covering all the latest and greatest in the world of PlayStation,

including the tournaments PlayStation has purchased in the recent past and how they went as well as some other updates we'll be talking about this week.

I am very thrilled because I can hear myself so well.

That I'm just going to stop talking now. I'm joined this week by Mitchell Saltsman, Mitchell Hello.

Hello, hello.

It's good to see you. Thank you so much for joining us this week.

Thanks for having me. I'm excited to talk about Evo. I've been, I've been itching to, uh, you know,

talk about my experience for ever since, you know, I got back. So this is, this is gonna be awesome.

Happy to have you on and we're also joined this week in studio by Jada Griffin. Hello.

Hello. Happy to be here. I'm really mad that you didn't throw to me first because I was gonna make a joke about Mitchell being stuck in at Evo still.

Uh, because he didn't win out of his brackets. Yeah. So I was gonna really just gonna just, you know, now the joke is there.

Oh, yeah. This is, this is actually the Mandalay Bay Hotel room. I've, you know, been here for about a week.

I feel like I should make it my home. That's fair.

You're dropping all your stuff. I mean, Jada, you can at least joke about the fact that Mark isn't with us this week.

I mean, yeah, even he, he called us like or message us like 10 minutes before the show is like, hey, I can't go because

they're shooting the pilot for chainsaw man out front my house. Um, and we're like, that's an anime. So that doesn't make sense, Mark.

But all right, whatever. It's what you get from Mark. That's how you know that Mark has been replaced by the body snatchers.

I mean, we all know he's still stuck at the top of Splash Mountain.

I think they still please send pictures of Splash Mountain to Mark once again.

Please do that again. Thank you to everyone who played along. Please do it again to that man while he had to ditch us this week.
