Jason PineHOST
Uh, are you now at the point where you're well and truly beyond being completely dependent on just three or four players?
Matthew PorterGUEST
Yeah, I think that's a good point, and, and a, you know, a lot of sports go through that, that evolution and that transition.
Matthew PorterGUEST
Obviously, you want to bring, you know, your strongest lineup, but realistically, for the players to be on the road fifty-two weeks a year, which is what our calendar pretty much dictates, is very difficult for them, and I, and I don't blame players for taking a break.
Matthew PorterGUEST
Both the Lukes have been down here before, both enjoyed it, and both have said they'll be back again i, i- in the future.
Matthew PorterGUEST
So, I, I think it's reasonable of them to, to, you know, to, to manage their diaries in such a way.
Matthew PorterGUEST
You know, I mean, there was a couple of, as you say, a couple of surprise results last night.

Jason PineHOST
Uh, how do you make sure that you capitalize on the phenomenon that is Luke Littler without becoming overly dependent on one young guy, or as you've just alluded to, burning him out?

27:40Matthew PorterGUEST
And so I got the Fringe Lake experience, not the very first experience, but I got the second experience.
M
27:46Matthew PorterGUEST
And that one was a little unique because I was there, but Bells of Steel sort of brought me and I could kind of float around.

27:54Matthew PorterGUEST
I wasn't really with their booth, but I had some prototypes there showing them off, unrelated to that.
