00:00Well, and look, this isn't meant to be like, and I told you so, or we knew better.
00:03Like we didn't have all the information and it's, it's unfolded.
00:07They said they were fully funded to 2031.
00:09But February,
00:11remember when we started talking about this, like in the wake of Patrick Reed and,
00:14and, and Brooks Koepka and saying, man, if this thing's really gonna fold,
00:19like if I'm a guy on live, I'm thinking about stopping playing right now.
00:23Just to start the clock, right.
00:25From your last start like that for Patrick, you can't, you're under contract.
00:29That's the problem.
00:30No, but that's, well, I guess what I'm saying with Reed is like, Reed was under contract.
00:34No, I guess it's not at the end of the year.
00:36He was, he was up.
00:38Yeah.
00:38That's all these guys.
00:40They, they, they're, they're just, they have their tail between their legs.
00:45So if live continues to go on,
00:47they have to continue to play it because they're under contract to do so.
00:51Unless they somehow buy it.
00:53Well, well, you can either buy out of your contract or maybe they'll let you loose.
00:58I know there's, I know there was rumors about players not being paid.
01:02I know vendors, like that's been a huge issue.
01:05There's already a lawsuit going on with the every shot counts.
01:09They're, they're suing live.
01:11Got there's just, they're getting hit from a lot of different angles.
01:14I don't know if PIF is able to give any type of bailout in any of this.
01:20It sounds like they're, they're completely out.
01:23And if they are like, yeah, they're done.
01:25Then in that case, like, I just don't see how anybody like in their right mind,
01:28like you may,
01:29you may look at that deck like any other person and be like, Oh, John Rom,
01:34Cam Smith, Australia, look at these crowds are great.
01:36But it's like the business model is so broken that,
01:40that there's just like running golf tournaments is not necessarily easy.
01:44And how they've done it,
01:45they've done it very,
01:46very high level and,
01:47and impressive, honestly,
01:49like how these events have just taken on that life of its own and parties and
01:53great crowds.
01:54But, but it just hasn't landed, man.
01:57And it's, it's, it'll, if, if, if it's some type of live exists in 2027,
02:04man, what is it going to look like?
02:06It'll just be just.
02:10Well, I'll tell you what, there's your big tease.
02:12The next time we talk to you,
02:14we have some additional time outside of a,
02:15an event recap that includes the first one for a 21 year old Jackson Coivin.
02:21We'll, we'll maybe have some time to expand on that and where some of these
02:24guys are going to go.
