Nigel Richards, a New Zealander living in Malaysia, defeated 145 competitors and won 22 consecutive matches to claim the title in Grenada, Spain. Known as the quote, Tiger Woods of Scrabble, Richards has mastered the game across multiple languages despite not speaking them. He has a unique ability to memorize dictionaries without understanding anything what the words mean, and has led him to winning nearly 200 tournaments, including French in 2015 and 2018. Now, that is crazy, guys. Did you ever meet somebody with that kind of photographic memory, and you're like, that is a very odd person? If you have done it, if you've won championships in Spanish and French, and I assume English, wow, that is a unique person. Joel Saxum: Is there money to be won playing Scrabble? Allen Hall: Evidently there is because he's won so many championships. It's the, from all the information I could find online he, this guy is super human in how he does this. According to some of his friends, he can look at a page of words and remember all those words. It's like a photographic memory, even though he couldn't carry a conversation in French or Spanish at all, he can't carry one. It's just understanding how words go together. Phil Totaro: It's technically a I forget specifically what it's called, but it's actually technically a form of autism that allows you to do that. allows a person to do that. It's still an astonishing talent. So Joel Saxum: what I would say to as a segue into the show today is some people have an optimized electrical grid in their brain and it works better.

Allen Hall: In the latest edition of PES Wind Magazine, which you can download at PESWind. com, a good article from Tresios, and I did not know that business very well until I read the article. It's a big subsea construction and marine services company. And they've actually reorganized themselves because there's so much offshore wind work that they're, they have divided into basically two sections to do that, subseas construction and marine services. And they have a third division because there's so much work in offshore wind. They have a sort of a human resources division. It's a company, workforce company called Mr. James. You can go to the Mr. James website. It's actually quite good. It's one of the better human resource workforce websites that I've ever seen, honestly. It's pretty cool. So when you're looking for people to work at sea, Mr. James is not a bad place to go look for those people. But Joel the interesting thing about this is that there's so much activity around wind. And you just don't see all this work that's happening, but it's major construction work.
