- Cody: Everyone, welcome back to another edition of AGT time, the first team eliminated from the fantasy league. AGTCommenter: Is. Cody: The Bach Brothers. AGTCommenter: Done. Cooked. Mathematical elimination. The best. We don't need to pile on, but they can't score more than 27. They can technically still finish second, so they're not they're not out of it. But they are currently 26 points behind. But man, what a night. What a night, Cody. Beef Cody: What a night for us for beef us the buttheads. AGTCommenter: us and the buttheads, we decided. to to hold off on playing any music just so the clip didn't exist. If we are technically not the we we can still lose. Ryan and Steven now Cody: We can still lose. You c you you can be up twenty points going into the fourth quarter and still lose the game. AGTCommenter: The Bach brothers are mathematically eliminated, but but Steven and Ryan have a path. It's a narrow path. they gotta have the winner and the runner up and in at least third and fourth probably to to do it. so it's if they don't have the winner, it's over. The numbers the numbers show that. So it's it's a fun night. If's was a fun night. I'm proud of us. I loved our draft strategy. We are not this is not a victory lap yet, Cody. Cody: No, no. AGTCommenter: But we're stretching. Cody: Yeah. AGTCommenter: We're getting loose to take our lap but we're we're not running yet. How about you tell people where to find us and then we'll go? Cody: Yeah, so you can find us on our socials at AGT Time Pod. You can email us AGT Time Pod at Gmail dot com. Check out our website, AGT Time Pod dot com. And you can find Commenter out there at AGT Commenter. Man, Commenter, what a night. Semifinals results. Great night for our team. I can't Chris Chris Turner was on the air. It's like, yeah. AGTCommenter: Chris Turner. We'll get to him. Cody: Yeah. AGTCommenter: Cody, we had the first four advancements of the night. First what Cody: Yes we did. Yes we did. AGTCommenter: first of all, they started it. We were not ready. They they Cody: No, AGTCommenter: they O laid us and started it before the guest performance, so now I'm scrambling. And it's boom, boom, boom, boom, and we've just got not only all four that have gone through, but our other two were in those pairings. So we just were done. We just four four advancements in our team. All six of our acts had been in the pairings and we had a couple friendly fires, which I'm fine with I I do like when it's like we know there's a guarantee. Now Cody: Sure. AGTCommenter: there's also a guarantee one's going home, but couldn't have gone any it could have, but really this was about as we were both hoping th like we were like three. Let's make sure we get three out of the six. We get four. Man, what a night. Cody: Yeah, I was even feeling good if we got two. I'd be like, we got two. I'm feeling I'm feeling good. That means we're gonna continue with our lead. we've got a good lead going into the finals, then there's a just a lot that can happen. But I'll take four. I'll definitely take four. So AGTCommenter: Yeah. We're guaranteed somebody in the top five because we have six out of the ten. We have over half the final, Cody. Cody: Yeah. That's crazy. What did Ryan do last year? Do you have that handy? AGTCommenter: Yeah, what and what exactly are you Cody: How many did Ryan have when he took his victory last year? AGTCommenter: Yeah. So Cody: I had Mama Duke and that's all I had. AGTCommenter: Last so last year, remember now for the listeners, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. We only had eight acts Cody: Okay. AGTCommenter: total. Ryan had three in the finals. So he had thirty Cody: Okay. AGTCommenter: percent, but again, there was five teams, so it's very different. Cody: Mm-hmm. AGTCommenter: It was impressive to get you only had Mama Duke off the golden buzzer, I had two, Jay had two, and Steven had two. So Cody: Okay. Yeah. AGTCommenter: but yeah. This is not only do we have over half the night, we have the most golden buzzers in the final and the most voted through acts. So Cody: Ha ha. AGTCommenter: we had two golden buzzers, the other two teams had one. We had s four voted through from the semis. Steven and Ryan had two and the Bach Brothers had one s or had none. Yeah. So what a night. weird episode. And we'll do more of the we'll get into that more tomorrow in the full recap. But I don't know, it just was a boring semifinal, but that's not we're here for the much more exciting results, but yeah. Cody: Yeah. Let's let's talk through the results real quick. so these we had six pairings, twelve acts, and they just did that. They didn't do a top five, they didn't do any of that AGTCommenter: Love it. Cody: type stuff. They didn't so they didn't whittle down. They just went six pairings and sent them through to the final. The first pairing was Cameron Marshall and Olivia Beefus. And this was an interesting pairing 'cause I was like, there's no way that they're gonna send Beefus through to the finals. AGTCommenter: Yes. Interesting pairing, you said. that was who I thought it was gonna be. I I just it my gut told me Cameron Marshall's shtick was running thin with America and the dogs, Cody. Those dang those Cody: People love dogs. America loves dogs. AGTCommenter: dang dogs, Cody. I I think there's a real place in our drafting manifesto. Just be like if there's a dog, draft it. Draft the dog. I I mean the hit rate on dogs on this show is really something. something else. It's pretty embarrassing if you don't make it far as as a duck act. Cody: Ha ha. AGTCommenter: shout out to Beefus. Third to last pick for us. She went Cody: Yeah. AGTCommenter: thirty eighth overall out of out of forty four. Great value. Cody: Great value. Great value. Was that was that my decision to picker or do we just it kinda that's the way it fell? Okay. Sure. Okay. Okay. AGTCommenter: I'll let you take it if you want. I don't recall. I'm I I bad that point I think we were probably team pretty much a team effort, but yeah. congrats to Beefus. That was the big one, in my opinion, was like 'cause the other one The other three that we got through, I could have seen that coming. Beefus was the one I didn't have high hopes for and she she goes through. So congrats to Olivia and her dogs. Cody: Right. Yeah. second pairing, Daniel Alvarez and Veronica. AGTCommenter: This one I felt good about. He Daniel Alvarez semi bombed. It was a close to a bombing for a comedian, so I felt good. Cody: Yeah. so yeah, Veronica's gonna go through. Great that they didn't put a comedian up against one of the dogs, because then Tom Cotter would have. AGTCommenter: Yes, that would have been PTSD for Tom Cotter. What'd you think of this result, Cody? Cody: yeah, I'm pleased with this. It kind of made sense. I didn't think it was his I I thought his set was fine. I know he and we'll we'll get more into the recap, but I thought it was a fine performance. She obviously nailed it. I mean, she's just incredible with what she does. So yeah, totally, totally good with what. the the the that America got on this one. AGTCommenter: Yeah. I'm I'm happy to Cody: Yep. AGTCommenter: happy to see that. Cody: The next one kind of wild card. third pairing was the K the other dog act, Acro Canine Crew, and s Caesar Diaz. AGTCommenter: This one scared me. Cody: Yes. AGTCommenter: I think they're I think they're pronouncing it Caesar. Cody: Cesar, yes, Cesar Diaz, yes. AGTCommenter: I'm scarred from a week ago when some he just went through and it was like, wait, what? And he i he no one was more shocked that Cesar went through than Cesar. I don't know if you watched the results closely. He was Cody: Yeah. AGTCommenter: he was congratulating the other act when he was getting paired up with them, like, wow, great job. I I had a lot of and then he just kept advancing. So this one, I'm sure you were feeling the same way. This you said it, the wild this was a wild card moment, I thought. Cody: Yep. so we do get the result that and we're again ecstatic by this, the the dogs. So two dog acts in the finals. AGTCommenter: The dogs, Cody. I it's Cody: And this is a great act. The th this is a great act. AGTCommenter: It's a really smart way to do the dog act. Cody: Yes. AGTCommenter: This was far less surprising than Beefus, obviously, both because like you said, this is a clearly better version of a dog act than than Beefus. It was also a golden buzzer. Cody: Mm-hmm. AGTCommenter: So this act has had momentum since Auditions One. Way back in Auditions One, so shout out shout out to K9 crew. Cody: our fourth pairing, a little bit of friendly fire here from from our team. Come here. Come here. And Luke Tolino. New new US citizen, Luke Tolino. Luke AGTCommenter: New US citizen. Cody: Luke Tolino. AGTCommenter: This one I thought the US Citizen thing might have been enough for for Tolino. I I Cody: Agreed. AGTCommenter: the performance was okay. It was okay. It was fine. I like the energy he brings. It's better than some dull, boring performance. But this one felt like Come Here was clearly the better act. Cody: Yeah. Yeah. So it is is this come here. So I get the points there for our side our side thing we do. So fair enough, yeah. So AGTCommenter: Yes. Yes. We will s and we'll save that for the pregame show. Yep. Cody: excited by that. So yeah, come here. is our fourth act that's going through. Fourth straight act going through to the final. The fifth pairing is Royal Lasers and Young and Strange. AGTCommenter: So we're now out of it. Our our six have been there and done that. this one It felt like there was a clear, but I'm interested in your thoughts. Cody: I think there was a clear a lot of people really like Royal Lasers. We kind of see through it 'cause they're they are solidly light balance. I mean, they were they're even they were even AGTCommenter: Right. I mean just they're just light balance. Cody: they're they were even backup dancers for light balance during their Vegas show. So AGTCommenter: Yeah. Cody: they are clearly light balance. I liked the young and strange, and we'll get more into it in the recap, Thursday night. I like the Young and Strange performance, but I see why people like Royal Lasers. AGTCommenter: I I think that they seem professional, sharp, it's Cody: Yes. AGTCommenter: an easy f it's a fun watch. There's a familiarity to it, nov obviously. So Cody: Yes. Yeah. AGTCommenter: I I have no problem with them continuing to advance. Young and Strange to me we ta we talked a little bit about last night, but I just I just wanted I I don't know why they had to bring the kids in. Now all of a sudden you're like, where are these kids from? I doubt that you know, he asked the mom, like, is it okay if I use your kid? I think the kid was probably aware that it was gonna be a part she was gonna be part of the act. Like Cody: Yes. AGTCommenter: they were They went too much to the comedy and and not enough to the magic. there's always that that tight rope they're trying to walk and so I was fine to see Royal Lasers. Cody: Yep. Yeah. I I have quite a few thoughts on the Young and Strange and we'll we'll talk about tomorrow night when we do the the full recap. the last grouping w did we well I guess before Young and Strange we had Chris Turner. AGTCommenter: Man. What a one of the greatest performances in AGT history. It's one of the great things we've ever seen. Cody: It was really good. Yeah, it was really good. AGTCommenter: It was if you didn't watch it, if you either didn't watch results or you, you know, ran to the bathroom during the break of no results happening, watch it. I had him as the best act of the season. I think a lot of people agreed, obviously plenty of people did. He took second, which is pretty darn close. Cody: Lot of Jessica Sanchez fans though. AGTCommenter: I I I have no problem seeing how she won. Cody: Yeah. Yeah. AGTCommenter: That performance, he's gotten better. I mean it's just it's a little bit of hey, if you make it on this show, then you get to do this professionally y you know, full time and then you get really good at it. The the accents, the I I it Cody: Yes. AGTCommenter: was Man. I loved it and I love when the alums come back and they're really great and and Cody: Mm. AGTCommenter: you you've I felt a sense of pride being like it's our guy. That's ours. Cody: Yeah. I mean a couple weeks ago we had or maybe last week we had Hall of Famer AGTCommenter: Oes. Cody: O's O's on there. I thought this was better than O's. I mean O's is great. Oes is Hall of Famer, but I thought this was better. Yeah. AGTCommenter: Right. I agree. This was I don't know if O's brought his fastball. I think O's, you know, punched the time card. Cody: I don't think he did. No. No. AGTCommenter: This was a fastball. Future Hall of Famer Chris Turner, Cody? Cody: Man, it's it's gotta be. I mean, in in three years in three years we'll have that conversation. So so AGTCommenter: We'll have I mean we're we're gonna f five five years. it's gonna be a conversation. But yeah, he was great. I I again I I'll probably watch it again. He and my favorite how he loved it. And it's right up how he's out how he's getting he's wait can't wait to get to participate again every time it comes back around. It was great. Cody: Yeah. our last grouping, Geno Plaguer and Travis Garland, and I was I was sure it was gonna be Travis Garland in this pairing. AGTCommenter: Yeah, we we were talking during it and I like, I this is Gino. This is Gino by a mile. Garland was terrible. And Cody: Dancing with the Stars has started, so they've been over there watching that. AGTCommenter: He and then w America has rejected the singers this season. Cody: Yes. AGTCommenter: It it they have voted zero singers to the finals. Zero. 'Cause the two that are there were golden buzzers. And they were golden buzzers. America voted zero to the final. It's amazing. I'm gonna I I do wanna run through and two dog act. We have twice Cody: Right. N Nane Nay and and Leigh are the only two. Yeah. And two dog acts. AGTCommenter: as many dog acts voted two two hundred percent more dog acts voted through than than then singers. It it's it's an o it's an odd final from that Cody: Ha ha AGTCommenter: standpoint. We'll get into a little bit of that too. But so yeah, it was like they are they don't care about the singers anymore and and Gino felt like he had put on a good enough performance. Cody: Yeah, and G so Gino, Gino goes through. He was crying. He was absolutely crying on the stage. Yeah. That's the emotion AGTCommenter: He was. He's our guy. Cody: I would see. Some of the other acts didn't have much emotion. He was crying, and I like that. AGTCommenter: He's our guy. Cody: Yeah. AGTCommenter: Heartland, Wisconsin, Cody, is where he's from. Cody: Okay. AGTCommenter: the the the Wisconsin Midwest accent pops up every now and again during his performance. which is he had some of his college buddies. I don't know if he said where he goes, but probab Mada Cody: He did not say no. AGTCommenter: might be in Wisconsin, Madison, maybe maybe somewhere closer to Milwaukee. Heartland's like a Milwaukee suburb or close to that Cody: Okay. AGTCommenter: air, southeast part of Wisconsin. But I'm happy for him. Hopefully some of our feedback has helped him has helped him, but Cody: Yeah. AGTCommenter: it's yeah, it's was so let me let me do this. Do do we wanna do any more results like on exact on any of that? Or do you wanna talk about the context of everything? Cody: No, it's all that's all the results. That's basically everyone going through. AGTCommenter: Yeah, so Canine crew, Veronica, Royal Lasers, Beefus, come here, Geno Plagger, two dog axe, an aerialist, a dan two dance groups, and a magician. So it's it's it's heavy Cody: It's incredible. AGTCommenter: variety. Cody This is the first time I shouldn't say this. So this is funny. This is the second time in three years that two that it's two out of eight singers in finals. So this is actually becoming very regular. But before Cody: Okay. Good. AGTCommenter: that. It hadn't happened since season ten. And and it happened a handful of times there. But this is tied for the second least amount of singers ever. We've had a bunch of seasons with two, and then season seven was O for, but it was only six in the finals. This is a a very interesting a very interesting final makeup and and just just not track historically. But we're also doing this teeter totter. So season 19. Two singers, eight non-singers. Last year seven singing acts, three non-singing acts. And this year two singing acts, eight non-singing acts. So we've done this kind of back and forth, but what a what an interesting grouping. where's the Cody: It'd be it'd be interesting if the live Golden Buzzer didn't exist if n Nene and Lei had gone through on votes. AGTCommenter: Two seems like it would have that would have been the watermark America would have gotten to. I I think I can't imagine a world Nene wouldn't have gotten Bowden through. And yeah, you may be right. It could have ended up with one. But the final has Hundred Fingers, which is a magic act. It has Gino, that's a magic act. It's got the dog act the two dog acts, so two dog acts. It's got Come Here, Unitree, and Royal Lasers. Which is two dance ac or three dance acts, two singers. Cody: And two of those and two of those are technology. AGTCommenter: Yeah. Two singers. And Veronica. She's the kind of the the standalone being the the the aerialist. Cody: Yeah, but sh she's definitely a unique area list that we haven't really seen. Yeah. AGTCommenter: Yeah, she's a she's unique within the category and then obviously unique within the context of the final. This I I'm trying to kinda contextualize what my thoughts could not have ever imagined that we'd have three of something that's not a singer and this many mult like to have two magicians, two or two dog acts, three dance acts. Like it's such a unique it'd be one thing if it was one of a bunch of stuff, but like we're concentrating on the acts the types of acts we never concentrate on, Cody. I I think it might be kind of a fun night next week. Cody: I think so too, yes. AGTCommenter: The fantasy league is a is is a bloodbath. It's it's a bloodbath. forty-three to twenty-four to seventeen right now. We have forty-three, Steven and Ryan have twenty-four, and the Bach brothers have seventeen. The Bach brothers have one act left. And she was a golden buzzer. Now they have the winner almost certainly. Cody: They have the winner, yeah. So AGTCommenter: But they also had the first pick. So like they they literally did they got nothing correct. Cody: Yeah. AGTCommenter: 'Cause they had the first pick and took the kind of obvious first pick, and then the rest of them got eliminated. Most of them in the quarterfinals. This is a I don't need to tell them that this didn't go well. But man, that is that is tough. That is tough sledding. Steven and Ryan have three in the final. They have Lei, they have Royal Lazers and Gino. Lei on the Golden Buzz and the other two, and then our six, hundred fingers, Veronica, Acro Canine crew. Cody: Wait, so La Lay's not our not on our team, right? I thought she was I thought she was on our team. Is she not Okay. AGTCommenter: No not on our team. Cody, we're gonna win this almost certainly. Again, there's a possibility, but almost certainly. And our first our first act didn't even make the semis, let alone the finals. Didn't even didn't even advance once, got one point. So congrats to us on a really impressive draft that hopefully will round out with a resounding victory next week. But it's a lot more fun when there's less teams. And you get to have a lot more acts on your team, so I think the pairing up this year was fun. But what else do we want to talk about from from results night? Cody: Man, not a whole lot. I mean we had Chris Turner and we had results. They didn't do a whole lot. They had some guy, Eric Nam. Not yeah, whatever. AGTCommenter: Nah, I think. Yeah. Yeah, he's a he's a singer slash he was on Traders. we did get a Traders promo. Cody: Okay. yeah, we got a traitors promo? Yeah. AGTCommenter: Trying to gather some some more thoughts. But yeah, this was Maybe we should do this. How surprised were you by the six? I I I didn't have a ton of surprises. Cody: I I didn't have ton of surprises, no. No. I mean Beefus was a little surprising, but I mean when when half AGTCommenter: Yeah, 'cause I mean Cody: of are going through that ca that kinda works out. AGTCommenter: Yeah, y I mean you look at our predictions and you got five of the six right and I got four of the six right. So and we'll talk about more of that on the next episode. But that was we were kind of on it. It it it felt kinda obvious. We had three of the four golden buzzers that were in the episode Cody: Mm-hmm. AGTCommenter: go through, so another banner night for the golden buzzers. It's going to that was the other thing I was looking for. So we now have five golden buzzers in this final. Audition golden buzzers. Royal Lasers, Veronica, and the Canine crew from tonight, and then Hundred Fingers and Lei from the other, the double golden buzzer. So right on track. It's usually four or five every year. We've only had less than four three times in the twelve years of Golden Buzzers. So nine nine out of twelve years it's either four, five, or six. So we're right on path there. it's gonna be it's gonna be a fun night next week. But yeah, I I would say Young and strange, I thought I don't think there was much of a surprise. No one no one got eliminated. I'm like, what? Beef us was a surprise to go through, but there wasn't anybody that like if Cody: Like Caesar D is. Okay, yeah, true. Yeah. Right. AGTCommenter: I well, Veronica. If Veronica would have went home, I would have like, What's going on? She was I thought clearly the best of the night. but other than that, I I thought it was kind of a bad episode to begin with. I I just didn't think it was very good. I thought almost Cody: There were no surprises. There was nothing shocking. Yeah. AGTCommenter: one of the least surprising la twenty four hours that we've had between the performances last night and the result. No one really surprised me last night based off of how good or bad they were. I thought everybody was either Nope Cody: And it should be. It's the semifinals it should be like that. No one I think no no one's gonna do the upside down piano anymore. AGTCommenter: Right. What I'm waiting for still and I don't even know if I don't think it's ha maybe Gino in quarterfinals. Waiting for someone to blow me away Cody: Mm-hmm. AGTCommenter: in these live shows to rise to the to the occasion. I think Howie said that everybody did last night. I I think he's just saying stuff. Somebody. Can somebody go out and do a Darcy Lynn double puppet? Can somebody go out and can somebody yeah, Cody: Mm. Jelly beans. Yeah. AGTCommenter: can somebody do the the clairvoyance, you know, in the water tank? Is there a historically great AGT performance left? Maybe it's Nene. And Nene, since Veronica's performance this week, which I thought was a little worse than last week, has now jumped to number one on my leaderboard. Maybe it's just her. But Is is a performance I'm never gonna forget out there. And I don't know if this I just don't know if it's gonna happen, but but yeah, it's it'll be a fun it'll be a fun week next week. Cody: We need a creep. We need we need creep. We need violin coming up from the you know, from the basement. Yeah. Yes. Yes. AGTCommenter: We need hu the the human puppet from Paul Zerdon, like these ones that are just so great and so unforgettable and it's been a while. But yeah, I'm I'm I'm excited for next week. I I think two through ten, I have no clue. One, I feel very confident. Now, that said. She wasn't a golden buzzer audition. She wasn't in the first four auditions. Cody: He's gonna buck the train, man. AGTCommenter: We've never had a solo singer non-Golden Buzzer win the show. Since the Golden Buzzer started. She'd be a first. So as much of a favorite as she feels like she is, America's technically never voted for. Now I'm sure everybody went and voted on the app and she probably ran away with it in her quarterfinal, but technically never been voted for. She has so much working against her from a historical statistical standpoint. Now, that is not a that's not law by any means, but I'll say this. I think I will be the least surprised Maybe on the planet if she doesn't win. I'll be shocked still. I'll be less surprised than everybody. Cause Cody: Yes. AGTCommenter: the history and the numbers sort of tell me she really shouldn't win. You'll be able to knock me over with a feather if she doesn't win. Cody: Ha ha. AGTCommenter: So that's how shocking it'll be to everybody else. Cody, I want to do this for you and and I think we can wrap with this. Okay. Cody: I do have one more thing once you Yeah. AGTCommenter: Think back. When was the last time you felt this confident about the winner going into it? Was it last year? You felt as confident last like okay. Cody: I think it was last year, yeah. Yeah. I mean then you had Richard Goodall the year before that, right? AGTCommenter: Yeah. Yeah, this feels maybe like it's just a third consecutive year where we just kinda know the answer. Cause we had a fun stretch. Fifteen, we probably should have known Brandon Leake was gonna win, but I think we all kinda were like, we'll see what happens. It was COVID year, everything was weird to begin with. T Tavella was a shock. Cody: Yes. AGTCommenter: The Mayas we felt really great about, but we also knew Christy Sellers, our friend, was really great. But that one was kind of we were pretty confident, but still. And then the the dog act, Adrian Hurricane, was a stunner. So we had kinda gone on this run where f finale night like, Hm, see what happens and now this might be a third consecutive year where we kinda know what we're walking into, but Cody: And and and she's and it's a third consecutive singer. Yeah. So AGTCommenter: Yes, it is. I got I have one more thing. AGT Insider messaged. said, I remember back in June, commenter wrote an article about what types of acts usually make up the finale. You said it was usually about five to six singers ex this each season. This year we have two. Are you surprised? Did you expect this? What are your thoughts? We kind of covered that. But yeah, I I went through all those numbers and this is a This is not this is not common. Now it's kinda common recently, but ultimately it's not. and then also wrote, obviously Nene is the favorite. What acts outside of Nene do do you think has the best chance of either winning or who who do what are some acts you think could be the the runner up basically? after results are done? Cody: I think Lei is definitely up up there. I'll put Veronica up there. and I would probably even put the act. AGTCommenter: I would as well. I'd put I'd put hundred fingers. Cody: Yes. I wouldn't even put actor so okay. Well, is it too early to predict top five? Pre pre game. Pre game. Yeah, AGTCommenter: Yes, we let's not do any major pre yeah. Cody: yeah, pre game. Okay. AGTCommenter: Here's maybe let's do this way. Let's say Nene wins. Hundred fingers, Lei, and Unitry were the three other golden buzzers, Cody: Mm-hmm. AGTCommenter: and then the other six. Is the runner up do you feel like the runner up is more likely to come from the golden buzzers or the six from tonight? Cody: golden buzzers. Yeah. Mm-hmm. AGTCommenter: I agree. I think the Golden Buzzers are loaded this year, which is so odd, 'cause it had been two years of in the Golden Buzzer ca category. So all right. We will save a bunch of this Cody: Yeah. AGTCommenter: for for this weekend and and as we get the the pregame show. But last thing you had. Cody: Where's Simon? Where where' AGTCommenter: Where's Simon? Cody: the chair was empty? No reference Stephen to the chair at all. AGTCommenter: he's alive. Cody: We saw that. Yes, we got an article on that. AGTCommenter: It's empty. They're avoiding Cody: And yeah, and AGTCommenter: it. Cody: they're avoiding it. Like not even hey, Simon's still out. If you'll notice the chair's still empty and nothing. AGTCommenter: Rank the likelihood of these three things. Next week. He's there, it's empty, or guest judge. Cody: It's empty. I I've told you he they put him on IR. AGTCommenter: Rank the three. Rank the three. Cody: it's empty. He's there, guest judge. AGTCommenter: So you think guest judge is almost a non starter? You don't think they'll bother for the final. Yeah. Cody: Yeah, I don't think yeah, I don't think no. No. AGTCommenter: My gut says they didn't do it for this week, why would they bring it back for next week? Cody: Right. Yeah. AGTCommenter: I think he's gonna be there. Cody: Okay. AGTCommenter: I think he's gonna be there. They they just wouldn't have said, We'll see you soon. That feels I don't know. I hope he's there. He should be there. Cody: I no, I I think they put him on IR and they benched him for the season. AGTCommenter: Will this s factor into your Hall of Fame vote this year?
