Stephen Dubner

And big thanks to all our guests, LaShawn McCoy, Robert Smith, Robert Turbin, Jeffrey Whitney, and Brian Burke.

I think they all did a great job explaining a complicated game that many of us love, but which many others are often baffled by.

And thanks especially to you for listening.

We will be back very soon with a new episode.

Until then, take care of yourself, and if you can, someone else too.

You want to get married?

I can't marry anyone who I can't run faster than backwards.

So that's a no.

Yeah, but I've had a series of birthdays.
