Co-hosts Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode after the World Grand Prix.   The newly-crowned World Grand Prix champion Mike De Decker (01:14) joins us at the start of the show to reflect on a life-changing week in Leicester. 'The Real Deal' looks back on his run to a first PDC major title at the World Grand Prix, including Sunday's epic final against Luke Humphries, as well as discuss his prospects for being selected for the Premier League next year.   Alex and Burton then look back at the World Grand Prix, analysing Mike De Decker, a 100-1 pre-tournament outsider, going all the way in Leicester, as well as discuss Luke Humphries, and his run to yet another major final.   Jim Long (26:50) also stops by after recently securing his Ally Pally return as the highest-ranked Canadian player on the CDC Tour rankings. 'The Gentlemen' looks back on his career in darts so far, from his earliest memories playing the game and facing some of the professionals when the PDC tour visited Canada, before committing more to events around North America, earning a PDC World Championship debut in 2018, making PDC World Cup and World Series debuts, and his plans to go to Q-School next year.   The boys continue their World Grand Prix recap by picking out some of their other stand-out performances from the week, before delving into the Development Tour finale in Wigan at the weekend and the two newest PDC tour card holders Niko Springer and Sebastian Bialecki.   Alex and Burton finish the show with a look back at the World Masters, which saw Wesley Plaisier and Beau Greaves defend their titles. The boys discuss who is now favourite for the men's title at Lakeside next month and pick out their top performers from the week's action in Budapest.     Join the Darts Strava King group on Strava
