#402: Pero Ljubic, Jesus Salate, Victor Guillin, Premier League Play-Offs Review

Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode after the Premier League Darts play-offs! The boys start this week's show with a look back at last week's Premier League finale at The O2 and discuss whether Luke Humphries' latest major title puts him in the top 10 of all time, and if Luke Littler was missing some match sharpness going into the play-offs with his recent absence from the ProTour. Pero Ljubic (13:45) calls in ahead of making his PDC World Cup of Darts debut for Croatia next week. The new PDC tour card holder chats through his time in darts so far, as well as his previous successes as a chess player, winning 200+ soft tip tournaments, his first experiences playing on a big stage on the European Tour, why he skipped Q-School last year, becoming only the second Croatian to win a PDC tour card at Q-School this year, and recently ending his wait for a first ProTour win of the season. Alex and Burton then reflect on the European Tour action in Leverkusen this past weekend, discussing the Premier League 2026 prospects of the champion Nathan Aspinall and the runner-up. The boys then switch their focus to this upcoming weekend and the final block of Women's Series events before the cut off for the Women's World Matchplay. Jesus Salate and Victor Guillin (55:50) join the show ahead of making history as the first team from Argentina to play in the PDC World Cup of Darts next week. The history-making pair, who both live in Spain, talk through how they both got introduced to darts, meeting each other last year and deciding to enter this year's CDLC World Cup Qualifiers as their first pairs tournament together, going seven darts into a nine-dart leg during the qualifier, winning the World Cup qualifier to earn a big stage PDC debut, their plans for the rest of 2025 and much, much more. The boys finish off the show with a dip into the mailbag to answer your listener questions.
