Thank you, Cultivated, You're the best in the world. Cory number of points. We've discussed this off the air a couple of times this week, specifically with Sauce because he's very defensive about his nine points, right, his record nine that him and Aja have both gotten to nine. That with three
that opens the door for somebody to post a giant score. So would that be an asterisk if somebody posts ten but only against two competitors, I would say, well, yeah, I think it probably is a little unfair to have a three way I think functionally there's an asterisk, but you still just dagger obviously. Yeah, I think that is the correct answer, not officially the record, but bring it up the sauce on a daily basis. That's how it's done. All right, you guys ready, Hell yeah, let's
go. It's time for the twenty three Initials Invitational, presented by Seat Paul Federal Credit Union. All right, let's go around the room. You guys are semi finalists. There are nine competitors left out of the original forty five. Let's go around the room. Tom Pella Sero. In round one, you dispatched Gleeman and the Geek, Aaron Gleeman and John Bonus. You also beat Tommy Olsen and Elizabeth Reese got a little dice, he got closed,
but you advanced high Tom. How you doing, Corey? I'm doing great. You have never lost at this game. Are you feeling the pressure of being a high seed and so far undefeated? Well this is a small sample size because I've played twice twice, two and oh, but feeling good. I wasn't supposed to be here. Everybody counted me out, but somehow on the top seed in the room. So I'll consider the pressure on here. All right, do you want to read your sponsor? You let me do
it? Sure, I got it. If I win today, tweet at me. That's what it says on this sheet at Tom Pilicero and tag at great Clips today through the end of Sunday, and one lucky winner will win one year of free haircuts at Great Clips salons. Plus Great Clips will donate one thousand dollars to the charity of the winner's choice. Yeah, Tom, so far, by the way, before Hawk reads the second part of it, Great Clips has not gotten to the finish line yet. What the hell
do you give me this fad for it? Because because they want add more pressure to you. But we need a Great Clips to win at some point. Marnie has yet to get a win for them. Everybody that has represented them in the tournament has got to get a win for Great Clips. All right, I got you Great Clips, Great Clips to find a winner today.

Musman the third, and of course Rosen got rosened. But so you advanced out of a pretty
tough group. But Kris was a was a dark horse I think for a lot of people to win the whole thing, because he almost won it last year. It was me and Kres you advanced. Let's not pretend that the rest of the group was difficult, one of which is banned from the tournament a year from now. Max is plucky, but Max is plucky between Rosie and muss Yeah, we're five. Do you like your chances today? How do you feel about Ron and Tom being your competition? Ron treats this like
most of like if we're begging for our lives. That's how he treats radio games like this. I think Ron is going to be tough as helld okay, and then Tom's fantastic. He's undefeated. So what happens if you win today? Seventh Avenue Pizza. I'm sponsored by Seventh Avenue and check this out. Seventh Avenue Pizza will be available very soon in all Holliday locations, including the Loose. That's huge. If your holiday store doesn't have it, it

But you emerge victorious in a tiebreaker over Dave Schwartz. You won in round one against Sauce as well. Ron. How are you doing. I'm doing great today, feeling confident, I'm feeling good do you feel no pressure because these two are higher seeds than you. I didn't feel pressure last time. Like I don't like this I got.
