As always, the episode concludes with their “Hole‑y Hot Takes” segment. Heat. Heat. What's up everyone? Welcome to Around the ACL. Shell Thompson here with Trey Ryder and Jake Brandon. Thanks for holding it down for me last week. I did listen on the plane and uh you guys did great as always. Um, I was in New York City and my first time in the big city and being from Los Angeles, I thought that I would hate it because I hated living in Los Angeles for 20 years. Completely different. Absolutely loved it. I even told Nick, I think we should move there for like a year just for fun. He's like, we are never living there. I just thought it was so cool. It's so different from anything else. But my favorite thing about New York besides the good food and the shows and all that stuff is you get to just see everybody outside living, right? I live in a rural area. So the only people who are outside living are transients, homeless people.

    Hosts Jake, Trey and Wally catch up and recap the fifth Signature event of the season, held in Utica, New York. They examine the singles and doubles standings, debate whether a new female player might shake up the pro field, discuss ACL team standings, and play a segment of “Buy or Sell” before finishing with their “Hole‑y Hot Takes”. Heat. Heat. What's up, Cornhole fans, and welcome to another episode of Around the ACL. This is not Michelle Thompson. This is Trey Ryder alongside Jake Brandon and Wall-E K9 Castler. Michelle is off gallivanting in New York City. Probably drinking a Paloma right now. Gonna watch this from from her room. No, she's not going to watch this at all. So, we can we can just rag on her as much as we want. So, um appreciate it tuning in. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yes. She's she's having too much fun talking about Harry Potter and doing eating pizza and bagels. So, we'll see. Uh, we'll see what she says when she comes back. But we're just coming off of our fifth signature event of the year up in Udica, New York. I will say I did not realize that Udica had so many food delicacies. I had myself Udica Greens for the first time.

    In this episode Jake, Trey and Michelle discuss the fifth Signature event as the ACL season winds down. Players head to New York to compete and prepare for the World Championships. The crew breaks down singles and doubles brackets and discusses team matchups before finishing with their usual “Hole‑y Hot Takes”. Heat. Heat. Welcome everyone to Around the ACL. Michelle Thompson here with Trey Ryder and Jake Brandon. And we have our fifth signature coming up this weekend in Utica, New York. So, going to get into our brackets for that as well as our teams lineup. And that'll pretty much be the entire show. We've got a lot to get to. It always takes a while to go through our brackets. And I was telling Jake before we hopped on, it is so hard this season not to just go chalk. Like, it's so boring making our picks. Like, I'm like, I don't know how I could pick anybody but number one or number two. So, going to be interesting to see if we can break that streak or if it's going to continue to be our our highlevel seeds making it to the end. But it's definitely hard to bet against them. Uh Trey, I hesitate to ask how you're doing.
