All of the sudden I heard a jittery, high-pitched voice singing some unfamiliar jingle. Now I know it was Lil' Jon's "Snap Yo Fingers." (And that means this was the '06 WSOP.) But I'd never heard it before, and it hit my "morning" ears as jittery nonsense. [5/N]

But. Anyway. Back to Daniel Negreanu doing Lil' Jon. The space could never be now what it was then, so empty and still. Negreanu could never burst into song without thinking about whether it'd end up on Twitter immediately. [16/N]

And the very idea of "Snap Yo' Fingers" being a "summer song" or "song of the summer" or whatever feels way more 1999 or 2006 than 2021. Someone of my skill level being able to be a solid favorite day after day in the WSOP prelims--that's gone too. [17/N]

It is totally, completely unrecoverable. Gone, entirely, forever. And that's OK (and even if it weren't OK, that's how life works). But that's where my head was when I made that little vulgar joke on the show. [18/N]

To everyone who ever wandered those long empty Rio hallways with me in the separate-psychic-universe era of the WSOP, or who ever listened to me talk about those hallways or anything else about poker, thanks for the memories. [19/19]
