0:00:09Welcome Spraggy!  Marle announces that she and Spraggy are newly engaged!

0:13:23Some chat about Olaf and how he and Chauncey are soon to be brothers.

0:15:26Marle claims she lost 50 followers on Instagram after announcing she was engaged, followed by a conversation about how nobody took their relationship seriously.

0:17:22Marle discusses their plans for the immediate future, and how the engagement might change her travel options.

0:18:17Thoughts on Marle’s engagement as a welcome distraction from the United States presidential election, the Negreanu vs Polk showdown, and other upsetting world events.

0:21:02A conversation about how returning to a more “boring” political climate might be good for the country, and the world.

0:22:08Who is everybody betting on for the Negreanu vs Polk showdown?  Everyone shares their thoughts on the challenge.

0:26:20Do they think that the rivalry between Daniel and Doug might cool down after the challenge is over?

0:28:19Details on the Negreanu vs Polk stream, and thoughts on the lack of hole cards for the non-televised portions, and why the challenge is good for poker.

0:48:59An extended conversation about how not all poker players want to become the greatest player in the game.  Some players are just in it to have fun, and being too strict about how the game “should be played” can deter new players and ruin the entertainment value.
