What special guest could possibly be up for the task? Why… it’s our very own host Mat stepping into the hotseat to give us his British witticisms, witty Britishisms, and veteran extra hot and spicy takes! Sit back and enjoy this very special episode as the Players discuss Mat’s favorite topic… himself!

It’s Ooorclahomah where the blitz come sweepin’ through the line! Steve from the Both Down podcast joins Mat and Riley for some tournament talk.
