KOTC is back breaking down EVERYTHING from the wild MLP Dallas weekend at Pickler Universe — including the controversial new MLP rules, Ben Johns’ dominant performance, DreamBreaker strategy, player rankings drama, and whether international PPA events are gaming the system.

Tyler and Jimmy discuss the chaos surrounding blue cards, standing restrictions, phone bans, injury replacements, singles specialists, and the biggest winners and losers from the event. They also dive into Utah Black Diamonds, Dallas Flash struggles, Mad Drops’ championship run, and what to expect heading into Columbus.
