Speaker 1: go dot com if you want to get started for free,
Speaker 1: or you can also download it to your iOS or
Speaker 1: Android device. All right, buddy, let me know about these numbers.
Speaker 1: I think I think they came in around five thousand
Speaker 1: right for the day.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I was thinking of the Survivors four nine
Speaker 3: to nine seven, a shorter five thousand. I want to
Speaker 3: just double check the out real quick because you never
Speaker 3: know the finishing amount. But they did have three thousand,
Speaker 3: seven hundred and seventy nine on the clock when they
Speaker 3: were bagging up. That takes us to a field of
Speaker 3: eight thousand, six hundred ninety four total entrance across the day.
Speaker 3: One flights six four hundred and sixty one have advanced. Now,
Speaker 3: how does that compare to twenty twenty four? Total entrance
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four at this point was nine than
Speaker 3: two hundred and eighty eight. That is a six point
Speaker 3: four percent down? Was that number that was two hundred
Speaker 3: and eighty eight through the first four flights.
Speaker 1: I saw a different number, but it's still very close.
Speaker 1: I saw two hundred and fifty nine from Lance Bradley
Speaker 1: on social media, so it's very close to your number.
Speaker 1: So in that ballpark, Yeah, so down a little bit.
Speaker 3: Survivors so far this year six thousand, four hundred and
Speaker 3: sixty one last year sixusand nine hundred and sixty six.
Speaker 3: That is seven point twenty five percent down. Now let's
Speaker 3: talk about why that is. I have kind of been
Speaker 3: preaching this and we're going to obviously see tomorrow. In
Speaker 3: the next day after that, I think we're going to
Speaker 3: see a higher rate of Day two registration. Several reasons.
Speaker 3: More offerings around town, talking about Sean d playing this one. Okay,
Speaker 3: we got carry cats at the twenty five hundred final table.
Speaker 3: Just more offerings here, Win, Venetian everywhere. So I think
Speaker 3: people will wait to jump in on Day two where
Speaker 3: you can start with you know, fifty sixty seventy bigs,
Speaker 3: which is a plenty amount of starting chips, and for
Speaker 3: what it's worth, as of about an hour ago, nearly
Speaker 3: one hundred players have already preregistered for Day two ABC
Speaker 3: and Day two D. If we're looking at accidentally, one hundred.
Speaker 2: Already doesn't selling a lot. Why do you think that's
Speaker 2: not a lot?
Speaker 1: It just doesn't selling a lot.
Speaker 3: So last year on Day two AB we're two hundred
Speaker 3: new thirty halfway there, so I would say you're wrong.
Speaker 3: On Day two D we had six hundred and eighteen,
Speaker 3: big number. So I'll obviously track that tomorrow. See how that,
Speaker 3: you know, correlates to some of this other data. Speaking
Speaker 3: of the players advancing, you know, being lower than you know, umpar,
Speaker 3: I guess I'm going to follow that with saying, I
Speaker 3: think players are gambling a little bit more because there
Speaker 3: are more offerings around town.
Speaker 2: We look at the Pogo studio.
Speaker 3: We've got a single day fifteen keys going on over there,
Speaker 3: getting pretty good numbers. There's some high rollers coming up.
Speaker 3: So I think, you know, we've talked about Sean Deep
Speaker 3: not wanting to be stuck in the main event for
Speaker 3: thirteen days. I think some other pros may also feel
Speaker 3: the same way that, Hey, you know, this is obviously
Speaker 3: a great opportunity to win ten million dollars, but it's
Speaker 3: trying to suck two weeks out of my poker life,
Speaker 3: I could potentially have much more better ROI for my
Speaker 3: time spent in the horseshoe in other events. So I think,
Speaker 3: you know, taking a few more strategically marginal spots than
Speaker 3: normal is kind of maybe one reason why this percentage
Speaker 3: a little bit more than it should be. They're just
Speaker 3: my like hot takes on the numbers obviously, don't really
Speaker 3: have much more on a except for my kind of
Speaker 3: brain trying to tick over some answers too, I am.
Speaker 1: I think overall, the numbers are a factor of one
Speaker 1: thing and one thing only, And this is just my thought.
Speaker 1: This is not anything that's proven. I definitely think that
Speaker 1: you could prove this, or at least WSP could prove this.
Speaker 1: You know, they could look into their own numbers. I
Speaker 1: don't think that they would ever make this public, but
Speaker 1: because numbers are up in a lot of spots at
Speaker 1: all over the WSP, right, I would love and I
Speaker 1: believe you mentioned this, you know, a couple episodes ago.
Speaker 1: But what are the uniques versus the re entries?
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: You know, I would guess that the re entries are
Speaker 1: doing very well and making up for the fact that
Speaker 1: there are fewer uniques. I just listen. This is just
Speaker 1: kind of anecdotally and like it's it's not backed up
Speaker 1: by any hard data, but I just I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm seeing less of the faces, specifically European players than
Speaker 1: I have in past years. So maybe fewer of them
Speaker 1: came over. The American contingent is still very strong, and
Speaker 1: they're making up for it with a bunch of re
Speaker 1: entries in a lot of spots. You have to also
Speaker 1: factor in that that people can fire a lot of
Speaker 1: re entries in stuff like the Milli Maker, the Monster Stack,
Speaker 1: the Colossus, et cetera. When they're not Colossus, but whatever
Speaker 1: the stuff that they've added multi or an extra starting
Speaker 1: flight too, right, you can basically put one or two
Speaker 1: more bullets in, so all that adds up. Like so
Speaker 1: that's kind of what I'm thinking, is that if you
Speaker 1: were to look into the data, you know, peel back
Speaker 1: the curtain a little bit, then you would probably see
Speaker 1: that uniques are down slightly or trending the same, and
Speaker 1: then re entries are what are up, and that's what's
Speaker 1: making up for the fact that that's what that's what's
Speaker 1: making the numbers look like they're very much up. But
Speaker 1: then when you get to a massive freeze out like
Speaker 1: this shout out massive, then that's when it kind of all,
Speaker 1: you know, comes home to roosts in the way that
Speaker 1: we just don't see it now. I also think that
Speaker 1: these Day two entries, I do agree with you. I
Speaker 1: think we're going to see some incredible numbers. I think
Speaker 1: it was around eight hundred to eight hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: or something total between the late entries last year. I
Speaker 1: think we pushed one thousand, so we'll see.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a twenty four across the two day twos. In
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four, twenty twenty three we had seven o three,
Speaker 3: so nice little increased there of one hundred and twenty one.
Speaker 2: And then in.
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty two it was six fifty nine, so another increase.
Speaker 3: So you know, yere only increases with day two registration.
Speaker 3: I think you and me may have discussed this today
Speaker 3: that you know you've got to come in level three
Speaker 3: right start a level three you have to sit down.
Speaker 3: There's no blinds dodging, because I already got told off
Speaker 3: by the head TD here that I couldn't do that
Speaker 3: when I decided to jump in on.
Speaker 2: Day two D I don't see.
Speaker 3: You know, if you extend that, it's one more level
Speaker 3: plus the dinner break. You know, I'm not saying you're
Speaker 3: going to get a plethora of entrance, but who knows,
Speaker 3: right you got people?
Speaker 2: Hey, you know what, I've got the farm.
Speaker 3: Where I'm going to drive in from la or drive
Speaker 3: in from Arizona, drive in from Seattle, I don't know wherever.
Speaker 3: And I think that extra you know, three hours and
Speaker 3: twenty five minutes or whatever it ends up being is
Speaker 3: fine because you know, what is it, You're going to
Speaker 3: have forty bicks. Okay most of the tournaments when you
Speaker 3: MAXI late here at the WSV at ten fifteen twenty,
Speaker 3: so I think people, you know, it's obviously always on
Speaker 3: the individual who wants to max late like I want to.
Speaker 3: Some people refuse to, but at least give that option.
Speaker 3: Extend through the dinner break. You can announce the prize
Speaker 3: for the start of day three when all the field's here.
Speaker 3: That can be the big announcement for the shuffle up
Speaker 3: and deal. It could be Jack, or maybe you bring
Speaker 3: in a celebrity and then as you know what, congratulations,
Speaker 3: everyone's here, we're all together in one flight. We're paying
Speaker 3: the top ex players firstus getting this.
Speaker 2: I think that'd be a good way to do it.
Speaker 3: I'm just a fan of extending the registration on day
Speaker 3: two a little later. Let's get those numbers up, boasts,
Speaker 3: give them boast.
Speaker 1: What's the total numbers they're at right now?
Speaker 3: Eight thousand, six hundred and ninety four, eight thousand and
Speaker 3: six and ninety four or some of the numbers if
Speaker 3: you if you look at some other outlets, they're going
Speaker 3: to combine some of those Day two entrants already in.
Speaker 2: But I don't feel like that.
Speaker 1: So they're at eight thousand and six and ninety four.
Speaker 3: That's what I have, adding up everything that I've pulled
Speaker 3: from the app the last four days.
Speaker 1: That seems low.
Speaker 3: Like I said, it's down six point four percent from
Speaker 3: last year. But I think we will make six point
Speaker 3: four percent on day two.
Speaker 1: I mean, so you still think we could hit ten thousand.
Speaker 2: I hope.
Speaker 1: So, I mean that doesn't sound too confident. We hote so.
Speaker 3: Okay on the What hurt us is the small July
Speaker 3: fourth one, Like we didn't get that big.
Speaker 2: We get the big number on the on the day before.
Speaker 1: But but okay, but like you would think that that
Speaker 1: would make up for it on the final starting play
Speaker 1: Day one, and it just didn't really do it.
Speaker 3: Look, this year we had four nearly five thousand, right,
Speaker 3: four thousand, nine and ninety seven. Last year we had
Speaker 3: fivey fourteen. That's the same number.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, But what I'm saying the earlier flights.
Speaker 2: Was what cost us.
Speaker 3: Day one being one C is where we lost those numbers.
Speaker 3: Both of those are July fourth in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3: One B was July fourth in twenty twenty five. This year,
Speaker 3: one C was July fourth.
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is this last year, okay, you
Speaker 1: had a dip from one A to one B. You
Speaker 1: had to dip from You had to dip because one
Speaker 1: B last year was July fourth, okay, But then you
Speaker 1: saw a big uptick after that exactly even though July
Speaker 1: fourth this year was on one C, right, and it
Speaker 1: obviously didn't dip from day one B, but it was
Speaker 1: still less than last year's number on the same one
Speaker 1: C right. What I'm saying is that I thought we
Speaker 1: would then see like the five hundred players or so
Speaker 1: that didn't play one and C because of July fourth
Speaker 1: go into one D and that number would have been
Speaker 1: closer to fifty ven ars six thousand, which we didn't get.
Speaker 1: So that's what sticks out to me and concerns me.
Speaker 3: I think those five hundred obviously hes some satellite winners.
Speaker 3: He got to the Europeans. You kind of discuss on
Speaker 3: if they're not in one B. I'm not sure they're
Speaker 3: going to jump into one D. I feel like those
Speaker 3: wires were going to see in the two ABC and
Speaker 3: the two D.
Speaker 2: But like we're going to know a lot tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Okay, So you know, like I said, last year, we
Speaker 3: had two hundred and six a Day two entrance. If
Speaker 3: that number is say two seventy five, okay, to be
Speaker 3: three hundred, but let's just speak conservative. Two fifty even
Speaker 3: three hundreds, I guess somewhat maybe a little tuition, but
Speaker 3: two fifty I think that bodes well that Okay, we're
Speaker 3: looking at six eighteen in twenty twenty four for doing
Speaker 3: Day two D. Maybe that gets up to the eight
Speaker 3: hundred and then we're going to make up that last
Speaker 3: ground and be around what we were last year. You
Speaker 3: know that we really have to eat. We just don't know,
Speaker 3: like we just don't know, like where the satellite players are.
Speaker 2: We don't know where you know.
Speaker 3: Like we've talked and we've been running all these one
Speaker 3: sixty all in tournaments on ws peter Com. These are
Speaker 3: going to be be running all the way through to
Speaker 3: day two d so you don't know how many going
Speaker 3: to get in those obviously, So I'm not I'm worried.
Speaker 2: I'm not too worried. I don't know.
Speaker 3: If I'm just going to go on my read of
Speaker 3: day two, entrance is going to, year on year continue
Speaker 3: to grow because players like me don't want to waste
Speaker 3: fourteen hours playing poker on day one. You know that,
Speaker 3: aren't that? Aren't to be honest, aren't that good? Three
Speaker 3: hundred big blind poker against crushes is not where I
Speaker 3: want to be in life. Give me my twenty big blinds,
Speaker 3: give me my pushfold play and I'm good. That's all
Speaker 3: I need. Okay, So we'll see, Well, you know, we're
Speaker 3: going to obviously have to follow back up on this
Speaker 3: and give a real answer to.
Speaker 1: Some notable chip stacks. To end the fine Day one
Speaker 1: starting flight, we have what looks to be Reva Arthur
Speaker 1: leading the way, a female player who has two hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty four thousand dollars in earnings. Earlier this summer,
Speaker 1: she won an eleven hundred dollars one day event over
Speaker 1: at the ARIA. She topped three hundred and nine entries
Speaker 1: there for sixty five thousand dollars. She has a cash
Speaker 1: this summer in the eight hundred dollars Summer Celebration she
Speaker 1: cashed in that one for thirty two hundred dollars, and
Speaker 1: then prior to that, she has a cash in one
Speaker 1: cash at w s P Bahamas and then two in
Speaker 1: the during the twenty twenty three WSP but not a
Speaker 1: whole lot on her resume here, you know, most of
Speaker 1: the stuff pre this main event. It goes back to
Speaker 1: May twenty twenty three. It's all between. It looks like
Speaker 1: I see one hundred and fifty as the lowest buy
Speaker 1: in for a cash, and I see twenty two. Looks
Speaker 1: like twenty two hundred is the highest buy in for
Speaker 1: a cash. So obviously winning sixty five k in this
Speaker 1: ARIA tournament, Bouchier Bank or quite nicely. In December twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four, she won a four hundred dollars event at
Speaker 1: Foxwood's for forty four thousand dollars as well, so some
Speaker 1: nice scores there for Reva Arthur and she has how
Speaker 1: many chips she bag four two hundred, four hundred, one
Speaker 1: thousand two the biggest chips deck that we have seen
Speaker 1: so far. Romaine Leque two hundred ninety six thousand, seven hundred.
Speaker 1: For him, I'll get back to him in one second.
Speaker 3: I got some fresh chip counts if you want to, well,
Speaker 3: what are these ones that these were slightly not fire
Speaker 3: fire away Andrew Kinny handful Andrew King two hundred three thousand,
Speaker 3: non Lee not mamely uh two ninety nine, Romayan Lacroix
Speaker 3: two ninety six seven hundred Was this the hand on
Speaker 3: the feature?
Speaker 2: They were?
Speaker 1: Okay, that's what we're gonna talk about.
Speaker 3: San Kim too ninety, Jesse Bryant two seventy five, Nick
Speaker 3: Papilo to sixty three. That's some of the play is
Speaker 3: in the top ten and also bagging Jonathan Jaffy, Jerry Wong,
Speaker 3: Joey Cooten, and Josephachenko, klem Is Roy to Phil Lack,
Speaker 3: Latara Guerrera, I say that name PLO player, fellow PLO
Speaker 3: god Venni Vitty flew home didn't even play the main event,
Speaker 3: so I mean it is he says like a Latara Guerrera.
Speaker 2: Doesn't it like that?
Speaker 1: Like I I'm not sure did Niko Milgram play the
Speaker 1: main events. I'm not sure he did and his he
Speaker 1: actually I do think he did, so he must have busted.
Speaker 1: He must have busted. I'm pretty sure it was on
Speaker 1: his schedule. But anyway, I do feel like there are
Speaker 1: a fair amount of people who skip the mean. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, for whatever.
Speaker 3: Reason, someone told us Phil Sternheimer came in today to
Speaker 3: talk to us. He said, this is his first year
Speaker 3: playing the main No. No, that first year in a while,
Speaker 3: in twelve years. Yeah, yeah, that's a long time. Uh
Speaker 3: really quickly, Bryce Yucky, Anthony Zino, Stephen Jones, Runner and
Speaker 3: finished Event, Len Old bag Chips, those Bang knocked to
Speaker 3: the Rayal, Alex Foxen Oats Overnights, Brian Maria Kannakova, Sweet
Speaker 3: Lou Gaza, Alejandro le Coca, Alboy, Jeremy Beca, Keith Lee
Speaker 3: and Jamie Goldfield, Ivy, David Coleman, Alan Kessi On, Jacobson,
Speaker 3: Ali Islami Rampage and Jared Blesnik And Uh, I think
Speaker 3: you're going to talk about the.
Speaker 1: Hand was part of my language. Absolutely positively fucking outrageous. Okay, yes,
Speaker 1: So he's on the secondary feature table. So this is
Speaker 1: caught on stream on video. If you go to the
Speaker 1: poker gro Twitter account, it is on there. This hand
Speaker 1: was out of control. Romaine Lequay, who who he he
Speaker 1: won a huge hand earlier when he had aces, somebody
Speaker 1: else had kings Solderstrom, and then somebody else I believe
Speaker 1: was Gould had Queen's. Okay, that was a huge hand too.
Speaker 1: Gould ended up getting out of the way, but Laquay
Speaker 1: busted Solderstrom. So he wins that hand, which was enormous pot.
Speaker 1: Then he plays this hand, so he opens to eleven
Speaker 1: hundred again three hundred five, and he makes it eleven
Speaker 1: hundred from early position. Sean Kunick's three bets from the
Speaker 1: next seat with seven six of diamonds. Cunicks was all
Speaker 1: over the map today. I mean, Sean Kunicks was like
Speaker 1: he used to be on the like he used to
Speaker 1: play all the wpts kind of disappeared for all, but
Speaker 1: he's back today and it was a blast up there.
Speaker 1: So he three bets on the next seat to twenty
Speaker 1: six hundred. It folds over to Jared Blesnik in the
Speaker 1: Big lind He finds a couple of aces O red aces.
Speaker 1: He makes it fifty two hundred. Liquay so four bets,
Speaker 1: so Laquay puts in the five bet to sixteen thousand,
Speaker 1: six hundred. Laquay has pocket nines. This seems horrible. Okay, this,
Speaker 1: this is outrageous. So and all I'm thinking was, you know,
Speaker 1: if Solderstrom is somehow like watching the stream where he
Speaker 1: finds out about this later, he's gonna feel better about
Speaker 1: busting kings to aces because now he sees this guy
Speaker 1: is going bananas with pocket knights. Yeah, so he five
Speaker 1: bets into sixteen six hundred. Cunis gets out of the way, obviously,
Speaker 1: his seven six of diamonds into the muck. Blessnick takes
Speaker 1: some time. He counts out a six bet. Of course,
Speaker 1: he makes it thirty eight thousand. Lequay makes the call
Speaker 1: in position. The flop comes nine to four to three rainbow.
Speaker 1: Just absolute doomsday for Jared Buzznik. There's no way in
Speaker 1: f in hell this guy should ever connect with this
Speaker 1: flop ever. Okay, he should never have nines, he should
Speaker 1: never have fours, he should never have three. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just he should not have these hands there's like
Speaker 1: eighty thousand in the pod already. Again, three hundred five
Speaker 1: hundred blinds in the main event at the World Series
Speaker 1: of Poker. Okay, these guys have more than double starting
Speaker 1: stack already, more than double starting stack already. Blessnick comes
Speaker 1: with thirty thousand liquay calls. Blessnick had a little over
Speaker 1: ninety thousand when he bet the thirty thousand, so he
Speaker 1: bets the third of a stack effectively. Look quay calls. Obviously,
Speaker 1: he's got top set, no need to do anything other
Speaker 1: than just call. I mean, yeah, you're you're likely Peggan
Speaker 1: Blessnick for aces and kings here, most likely aces in
Speaker 1: a lot of spots. I mean, maybe Blessnik is getting
Speaker 1: completely out of line with some crazy bluff, but you know,
Speaker 1: I think the majority of time Blesnick just has it here.
Speaker 1: Like That's how I feel at least, So you know,
Speaker 1: you do have to be concerned about some overcards that
Speaker 1: come on the turn, but again, you just got to
Speaker 1: keep it in there. Maybe there's some ace king suited
Speaker 1: in here. Never fear for Laquay because a nine comes
Speaker 1: on the turn and he just makes quads. And of
Speaker 1: course Blessnick says, well, I'm just all in. This is like,
Speaker 1: how can I not be all He goes all in.
Speaker 1: Laquay obviously quickly calls and Blessnick is just stone dead,
Speaker 1: stone dead a pot of five hundred and thirty five
Speaker 1: big blinds in level four of the WSP main event.
Speaker 1: I just the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen
Speaker 1: on Day one of the W'S form that most ridiculous
Speaker 1: thing Blezznick. Now, Jeff Platt was like standing by, like
Speaker 1: right when it happened, and like immediately like basically did
Speaker 1: a bus out an interview with Jared Buzznick, who was
Speaker 1: all class, didn't have anything bad to say, said he
Speaker 1: had a really good time playing with these people. Still
Speaker 1: thinks it's the best tournament in the world, all that
Speaker 1: sort of stuff. But then so then whatever cuts away
Speaker 1: from that, there's like a couple of hands played or something.
Speaker 1: Then we cut back to Jared in the field. He's
Speaker 1: he's fucking roman around like he's a seven year old
Speaker 1: and somebody just stole his dog, and he has no
Speaker 1: idea what to do, what to say, who to tell.
Speaker 1: I think he sees Matthew Schreiber at one point, and
Speaker 1: he's like trying, He's trying to like recap the hand
Speaker 1: to Matthew Schreiber, and at least the vibe that I
Speaker 1: got is he kept like stumbling over the hand history,
Speaker 1: and I was like, Jared is in fucking shell shocked
Speaker 1: right now with what happened. And listen, I know, I
Speaker 1: know Jared is very well off. He's got a lot
Speaker 1: of money, He's hugely successful. You know, ten K is
Speaker 1: not in any way, shape or form. I'm gonna hurt
Speaker 1: Jared buzz Yeah, But I do believe him when he
Speaker 1: says how much he loves the WSP and specifically the
Speaker 1: WSP main event, how much he cares about this tournament,
Speaker 1: how much it is the greatest tournament in the world,
Speaker 1: which it is, and he agrees, and I think that
Speaker 1: he like he would love nothing more than to, you know,
Speaker 1: get a bunch of chips early and run deep in
Speaker 1: this thing. But he's just kind of like, what in
Speaker 1: the f in hell just happened to me? I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's absolutely banana land out there. I mean, I
Speaker 1: can't even I can't even fathom this this hand. We
Speaker 1: saw it on the broadcast and I was just like,
Speaker 1: what in the actual fuck did I just watch okay,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Like so that's how Romayne Lequay got all
Speaker 1: of his chips. Those those two hands, the Aces kings
Speaker 1: queen's hand was one with the Aces. King's queen hand
Speaker 1: was sawd to Strom open the kings. I went three
Speaker 1: bet from I believe the button from Gould small blind
Speaker 1: was Quay. He four bet the Aces call from Saladerstrom.
Speaker 1: Call it came. I think it came seven high. It
Speaker 1: goes bet from bet call fold from the Queens. I
Speaker 1: think turn his a blank check from la Quay, all
Speaker 1: in from Saladerstrom call snap call Saderstrom doesn't hit a
Speaker 1: king and he's out. So so he had those hands,
Speaker 1: that hand and then he had the hand against Jared buzzing.
Speaker 1: You know that. That's how it was. Another person that
Speaker 1: bagged a lot of chips was John Jaffey. I think
Speaker 1: he bagged around two thirty or two forty. And what
Speaker 1: I heard from Ray Henson was that he beat trip
Speaker 1: Aces twice.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I saw one of those sons.
Speaker 1: One he had when he had top pair of as
Speaker 1: King of Clubs and he made River to flush and
Speaker 1: then the other guy had a top set.
Speaker 2: Was it was Queen jack X. He had the King
Speaker 2: ten and.
Speaker 3: The other guy had aces Dimon and then turn was
Speaker 3: the acid diamonds to give him the straight and obviously
Speaker 3: a frustrat jo which doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: But the other guy had again. So yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you just got to run like
Speaker 1: the sun to bag a lot of gyps in this thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, just wild stuff. So if you haven't seen
Speaker 1: that hand with Laque and Blez, I would highly encourage
Speaker 1: you to find it on the poker gro Twitter accounts.
Speaker 1: It'll also of course be in the stream from day
Speaker 1: one day, which you can find on demand on pokergro
Speaker 1: dot com and on the poker Grow YouTube channel. Phil
Speaker 1: Ivy he busted out. He was seated over in Paris.
Speaker 1: He was at a table with Joseph Chong and Joseph
Speaker 1: Chong ultimately ended up busting him. It was a blind
Speaker 1: versus blind situation. Ivy, I believe limp small blind. Joseph
Speaker 1: Chong checked his option in the Big blind. It came
Speaker 1: Queen ex deuce, Ivy had, deuce, Chong had Queen seven,
Speaker 1: Turn was a seven and ends up getting all in
Speaker 1: and Ivy's out And that is what so you this
Speaker 1: is my show and tell items. Okay, look at this
Speaker 1: ESPN the magazine. And now I didn't plan to bring
Speaker 1: this because of IVY. I just planned, you know, I said,
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, we haven't done show and
Speaker 1: tel for a while, so whatever, I'll bring this in
Speaker 1: and I'll show it off. So it's wrapped in plasticident
Speaker 1: It's from November two, two thousand and nine. There's an
Speaker 1: article in there with Chad Millman. He basically travels around
Speaker 1: I think, for three or four days with IVY and
Speaker 1: witnesses him gambling. This one is sealed up in this plastic. No,
Speaker 1: I have another one that is open at my house,
Speaker 1: the same one. Same one. Okay, but yeah, but that's cool.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was that on the bottom. I don't
Speaker 1: know whoever the hell ordered it.
Speaker 2: It's not it's not you though. I thought it was
Speaker 2: maybe be sent to you by.
Speaker 1: Back in the day and bang, so some guy in Minneapolis.
Speaker 1: But it's he's from Minneapolis, person.
Speaker 2: So look at the front.
Speaker 1: So there you go.
Speaker 3: That's pretty cool, is it? Big magazine?
Speaker 1: ESPN the magazine. Baby, that's how it was that big? Yeah,
Speaker 1: back in the day. That's pretty and you can I
Speaker 1: think you can find that article on. It's still on
Speaker 1: the ESPN dot com website again by Chad Milman. Just
Speaker 1: google Chad Milman, phil Ivy and you should be able
Speaker 1: to find it and read about it. So it's a good,
Speaker 1: good article, fun stuff. It'll pull those nostalgia strings from
Speaker 1: the old school days. What else we got main event wise?
Speaker 2: That's it? Called it everything?
Speaker 1: No, what do you mean that's it? Bro? Come on,
Speaker 1: we almost screwed it up. We had the main event
Speaker 1: bracelet reveal from the Mind Free. We screwed it up.
Speaker 1: What what I think they screwed it up? By No,
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm saying we almost didn't talk about it.
Speaker 3: I'm okay not talking about it. It was not the
Speaker 3: not the best price of revealed. That bring back Guy Fieri,
Speaker 3: That's all I want to say.
Speaker 1: The Guy Fiery one was incredible because he was fucking in.
Speaker 1: That guy was in. He was so and I mean,
Speaker 1: Guy Fiery is the fucking man, but he was also
Speaker 1: into it. Now, I do think Chris Angel was actually
Speaker 1: kind of into it. I just thought that it wasn't
Speaker 1: that good because so I don't really understand what he
Speaker 1: was supposed to do.
Speaker 2: He comes in was definitely a mistake production.
Speaker 1: He's got the bracelet in and then he goes up
Speaker 1: on the stage. This is at the second break, and
Speaker 1: at this time we had moved a table up to
Speaker 1: the feature table. It's it's a table with Darren Elias,
Speaker 1: Anton Wigg, Ben Lamb and there's somebody.
Speaker 2: Else up there, Eric Afriot.
Speaker 1: Eric Afriot. So they're up on the feature table and
Speaker 1: he makes them all He asked them all to like
Speaker 1: put their fists out and then close their eyes and
Speaker 1: and to visualize like the bracelet like going around the wrist.
Speaker 1: He's talking about it, whole thing whatever, and then he
Speaker 1: like just like he literally just walks off with the bracelet.
Speaker 1: So I think I thought the idea was that he
Speaker 1: was supposed to make the bracelet disappear.
Speaker 2: That's what I heard.
Speaker 3: And then I heard, no, he's just gonna take it
Speaker 3: because he didn't have Maybe I'm revealing too much yet,
Speaker 3: but didn't have his stuff whatever that is from magician,
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Well anyway, he literally just turned around and walked.
Speaker 3: But I think that's where we messed up with the cameras.
Speaker 3: I think we were supposed to like cut where we
Speaker 3: didn't see, Like we cut to the players, and then
Speaker 3: he did the walk off, so it looked like and
Speaker 3: then we cut back to his spot and he was gone.
Speaker 1: And then I don't know what it was. It was.
Speaker 2: It was very supposed to happen.
Speaker 1: It was very weird. I will say again, I thought
Speaker 1: he was pretty amped up. I like the if that person,
Speaker 1: whoever the person is that's doing the bracelet reveal, if
Speaker 1: they have good energy, then it can be it can
Speaker 1: it can translate well, and he had. He had some
Speaker 1: decent energy coming in right now. I did think it
Speaker 1: was funny when they got on the loud speaker right
Speaker 1: before he came in and they asked every want to cheer,
Speaker 1: yell and scream, and everyone was like, no, no, we're
Speaker 1: a bunch of pokers. What are you talking about again?
Speaker 1: I thought Guy Theories was was the best. I don't
Speaker 1: know why they just don't have I don't know why
Speaker 1: you just don't have like a poker player to it,
Speaker 1: like yeah, Daniel or Phil.
Speaker 3: I like I like the Vegas kind of I like
Speaker 3: a Vegas icon celebrity, you know, I don't football players,
Speaker 3: something something with a little bit of behind.
Speaker 1: Okay, If that is the case, then I think it
Speaker 1: just needs better planning for how it's done, execution, et cetera.
Speaker 1: And then they showed the bracelet box like much later
Speaker 1: in the stream, and there was no bracelet in it.
Speaker 4: Because it was he disappearedstand But the thing is is,
Speaker 4: like I get that he disappeared, but you you watched
Speaker 4: him on the stream, like you.
Speaker 1: Watched so weird. Oh it's so weird. But yeah, and
Speaker 1: like you know, I'm getting a lot of text messages
Speaker 1: about it. I haven't even looked on social media like
Speaker 1: what people were saying about it. But yeah, he did
Speaker 1: say that he wasn't allowed to play. He wanted to
Speaker 1: play the man him, but he couldn't because he's a
Speaker 1: magician and they wouldn't let him. Is that an actual thing?
Speaker 2: No, because that other magician played the other day.
Speaker 1: I'm joking.
Speaker 2: I know it's nothing. I'm serious.
Speaker 1: No, I mean, what would he do? Just would he
Speaker 1: just like take someone's chipsack and walk away? No? I
Speaker 1: was actually I used to be into Chris Angel back
Speaker 1: in the day.
Speaker 2: He said that I was judging, Like back in the day.
Speaker 1: I think he used to have a show on TV
Speaker 1: and whatever, and then he he got a big Vegas
Speaker 1: residency and I don't know. I haven't been to the show.
Speaker 1: Because I haven't I've heard that it's not that good,
Speaker 1: and I've heard that he's fallen off whatever. I mean,
Speaker 1: not that it matters, but I just thought it was
Speaker 1: interesting that he was out here. I liked that the
Speaker 1: you know, similar to Guy Fieri. He came in, you
Speaker 1: know obviously in his style, and the bracelet matched his style.
Speaker 1: Like when Guy Fiery's got the big chains on the bracelets,
Speaker 1: the rings whatever, that's what Chris Angel has like blinked
Speaker 1: out all of us.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Also, Chris Angel's hair much better than Phil Hammy's hair,
Speaker 1: way way way.
Speaker 3: Better than yeah, had to look like exactly exactly.
Speaker 1: So yeah, the main bracelet was revealed. If you want
Speaker 1: to see photos of the brace so, you can also
Speaker 1: go to the Poker gro Twitter account. I believe the
Speaker 1: front of the bracelet doesn't come off this time. Remember
Speaker 1: before it was like the protected cart protector. I was
Speaker 1: told it doesn't, which is interesting. We were also told
Speaker 1: two more things on this one. He said it was
Speaker 1: half million dollars five hundred k. Yeah, okay, so there's that.
Speaker 2: It used to be two fifty so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean maybe they added more diamonds. Who knows
Speaker 1: the thing is blinged out to haul? Hell, I mean,
Speaker 1: look at it. The other thing is that he kept
Speaker 1: saying ten million dollars first prize for the man event.
Speaker 1: He said it like two or three times legally bind me.
Speaker 1: I mean, I wonder, well two things. One is I
Speaker 1: wonder if on both sides, like, let's say in a
Speaker 1: crazy world they get three hundred day two entries, which
Speaker 1: we know is not gonna happen, but let's just for
Speaker 1: argument's sake, So then are you are you for sure
Speaker 1: going to get a ten million dollar first place prize?
Speaker 1: And if you don't, do you then have to fit
Speaker 1: an ankle the numbers because that's what Chris Angels said,
Speaker 1: which I'm sure somebody told him to say that, right,
Speaker 1: So there's that. The other side is like, what if
Speaker 1: what if three thousand people show up? You know, we
Speaker 1: set a new record. We're pushing eleven thousand or whatever
Speaker 1: the number is. But he said ten million, but it
Speaker 1: could really be eleven million without really affecting things. But
Speaker 1: is it still ten million? So I just thought I
Speaker 1: thought it was interesting that they put a number on it.
Speaker 1: Good point, you know, I mean, part of it is
Speaker 1: I understand why they put a number on it, of course,
Speaker 1: you know, because obviously it's the WSU being man event
Speaker 1: you're doing this bracelet reveal. But I did think it
Speaker 1: was interesting that he put a number on it, and
Speaker 1: when as soon as he said ten million, I kind
Speaker 1: of like, my, my, here's perked.
Speaker 2: Oh is that so?
Speaker 1: I just heard that? My question to you about this
Speaker 1: whole thing is when should the WSP main em embracelet
Speaker 1: be revealed? Do you like the day one D reveal?
Speaker 1: Would you do it like on day three? Like, how
Speaker 1: would you do it? When would you do it?
Speaker 3: Not think it should when I like the idea of
Speaker 3: pairing it with the prizeful announcement, making the prize fool
Speaker 3: announcement a big deal, you know, Like the best time
Speaker 3: to do that is obviously the start of day three.
Speaker 3: Everyone's in the room. You're going to make a big
Speaker 3: deal out of the bracelet reveal, the prize fool, how
Speaker 3: much they're playing for all in one thing. Obviously, the
Speaker 3: way we do it now, it's on Day one D
Speaker 3: we get the prize pool day then even like you know,
Speaker 3: nine time of Day two D, it's kind of just
Speaker 3: like it doesn't have the gravitas is if you just
Speaker 3: sinked everything to come out all on day three. Now,
Speaker 3: obviously we're going to lose six days of not showing
Speaker 3: the bracelet, but I don't think that matters so much.
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think I think you kick
Speaker 1: off day three with this. Yeah, you kick off day
Speaker 1: three by announcing the prize pool, right, You're obviously you're
Speaker 1: gonna have the day two Day two d late redge.
Speaker 1: You know that second day two you're gonna have that
Speaker 1: late rege. You're probably gonna need a little bit of
Speaker 1: time to reconcile all the numbers, do whatever you want,
Speaker 1: you know, make sure that they all line up, et cetera,
Speaker 1: et cetera. Fine, so you can you know, you can
Speaker 1: hold it for a couple hours till that next day
Speaker 1: you do the bracelet reveal, You do the prize pool reveal,
Speaker 1: you know, which is essentially just the first place prize reveal.
Speaker 1: You make a whole thing out of it, right, And
Speaker 1: I also think you know, you can basically set the expectation.
Speaker 1: You know, hey, we're doing this at twelve o'clock, right
Speaker 1: before we get the cards in the air on day three.
Speaker 1: Everyone knows if you want to come in here and like,
Speaker 1: you know, watch it, or maybe you could even be like, hey,
Speaker 1: we're going to do it at eleven fifty. That way,
Speaker 1: if people want to come into this room and watch
Speaker 1: it all take place also at that time, because there
Speaker 1: were people when you did it today. You know, I
Speaker 1: had people were texting me. They were like in Paris
Speaker 1: or whatever. You know, they were kind of all like,
Speaker 1: what's happening, what's going on type of thing. Obviously that
Speaker 1: people here could see it, but you get it. I
Speaker 1: think day three you would be in horseshoe entirely, both rooms,
Speaker 1: but you would be in horseshoe entirely right, right, or
Speaker 1: would you also be in Paris?
Speaker 2: N you Day three you.
Speaker 3: In Paris, in here and in there, you get get
Speaker 3: it down into that room.
Speaker 2: By the end of the day, well.
Speaker 1: Still these two rooms are full, okay, So I was
Speaker 1: the majority of the field is in here, in these
Speaker 1: two rooms. So you know, you can say, hey, we're
Speaker 1: doing this at eleven fifty. So the people even from
Speaker 1: the other room, they have time to walk over see it. It
Speaker 1: creates this big crowd around the whole thing, and then
Speaker 1: you know, you end it a like it's like a
Speaker 1: six seven minute ceremony, so it ends up eleven fifty
Speaker 1: six eleven fifty seven. Everyone has time to get back
Speaker 1: over there to their seats. Cool, like, you know. That's
Speaker 1: that I think is great, you know, and you kind
Speaker 1: of make a big planned moment of it. I think
Speaker 1: also then when you get when you want to do
Speaker 1: things like hey, let's all start cheering. I mean if
Speaker 1: you if you set the expectation, the people that really
Speaker 1: want to come and see it and cheer are going
Speaker 1: to come to the front. Yeah, right, versus you don't.
Speaker 1: You have no idea what these players are in here
Speaker 1: and what they want to do. They're all kind of like, oh,
Speaker 1: we're doing this now. I thought we were coming back
Speaker 1: from break. Who would is there anyone you would want
Speaker 1: to see do it? Who's the guy who's the fiery Fiery?
Speaker 1: I kind of want Guy Fury every year. I mean,
Speaker 1: I love that was.
Speaker 3: The guy in the National Lampoons. Why am I blanking
Speaker 3: right now? Chevy Chase No big black hair sings a lot.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I want to say Barry Man alone, but I know
Speaker 2: it's not Barry Manilo.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I'm trying me crazy. Like any like
Speaker 3: Dwayne Newton, Oh, Wayne Newton, Yeah, like someone like that,
Speaker 3: like something, someone that's got like some Vegas history. You
Speaker 3: know that that is a really iconic person for the city.
Speaker 3: I think is good. I think if you really want
Speaker 3: some buzz, you know, famous athletes always a good one.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: Obviously, Caesars is always going to lean into who they
Speaker 3: have on property. Remember a couple of years ago, we
Speaker 3: had a lot of like Linda what's her name of,
Speaker 3: Linda vander Pump stuff because she was opening a restaurant.
Speaker 2: You know, we had.
Speaker 3: We had Guy Fiery obviously because we have you know,
Speaker 3: the restaurant here. So they're going to lean into Caesars properties,
Speaker 3: which is fine, but they could also lean into Caesar's
Speaker 3: partnerships with W n b A, you know, the Raiders
Speaker 3: whoever it may be to try and get you know,
Speaker 3: not like the Raiders have any stars right now, but
Speaker 3: maybe in a few years they have a you know,
Speaker 3: a really good running back or wide receiver or something
Speaker 3: that you could do something with like the Raiders, like
Speaker 3: the Radts, So what is it called the raid.
Speaker 1: You could do someone with like a bunch of them, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: or so something like that. I think you could maybe
Speaker 1: do Steve Aoki.
Speaker 2: That could be a good one.
Speaker 1: This one might be a little too old.
Speaker 3: But Mike Tyson, there's silly buzzed with Mike Tyson, you know,
Speaker 3: like you could just nearly pull any famous athlete to
Speaker 3: do it. Really, to be honest, it will create some bars.
Speaker 3: But I think you have to build.
Speaker 1: Tom Brady the excellent now part owner of the Raiders.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, he's had to make it a spectacle in
Speaker 3: a good way, you know, talking like a like a
Speaker 3: bad shot. I'm talking about like planet execute kind of
Speaker 3: going from there. I don't think you need the whole
Speaker 3: walk in. You know, we've done the walking now with
Speaker 3: Guy Fieris, done the walking with Vince Vaughan. We've done
Speaker 3: the walk in with Chris. I don't think the matters.
Speaker 3: I don't think the walking does anything. I anything. It's
Speaker 3: just a noise production and annoys to people that are
Speaker 3: standing in the rails of the Friends. Like you started
Speaker 3: on day three, when you unlock those doors, every like
Speaker 3: you have everyone on the stage. You know, if it
Speaker 3: was for sake for Chriss Angel or something, you have
Speaker 3: him position. He can have his magic stuff and you
Speaker 3: can have a I don't know whatever he needs there
Speaker 3: and people walk into that and they're like, oh, what's
Speaker 3: this instead of doing this walk through and trying to
Speaker 3: engineer this like extravagant production setup, I don't think we
Speaker 3: need to do that for the money. I still love that.
Speaker 3: Put him in the cardboard boxes. No more briefcasees. I
Speaker 3: want cardboard boxes. But do the big golden nights something
Speaker 3: with them.
Speaker 2: Sure, you know what's the one? What's the mascot?
Speaker 1: Chance?
Speaker 2: It could the chance?
Speaker 3: But either way, like, I think you could just do
Speaker 3: it plan a little differently and make it more view
Speaker 3: up friendly.
Speaker 1: While we are critiquing it, I do think it belongs.
Speaker 1: Like I know that there's people out there that say, like,
Speaker 1: why are we doing this type of thing? Hm? Again,
Speaker 1: we say it all the time. The main event is
Speaker 1: way over here. It is so different than everyone else.
Speaker 1: Like I feel like, if you're gonna if you're gonna
Speaker 1: go crazy, wacky, over the top, pizazz, jazz hands, you know,
Speaker 1: big spotlight, spectacle, all that sort of stuff, this is
Speaker 1: the event you do it for, right, So I know
Speaker 1: there are some people a lot of players often when
Speaker 1: they're playing, you know, like what are we doing? Like
Speaker 1: why are we doing this? Can we just play poker
Speaker 1: or whatever? I mean, I like this, this craziness, this
Speaker 1: wackiness for it all, you know. I think it makes
Speaker 1: the event just also stand over here by itself and
Speaker 1: just be this crazy spectacle of a tournament. Yes, just
Speaker 1: need to be a little bit better, you know. Fine, Yes,
Speaker 1: but I do like having the element, right, just like
Speaker 1: I ultimately like having Philhelmis's wacky entrances. I think those
Speaker 1: entrances need to be better, right, but I think having
Speaker 1: them is like kind of just the fucking the shit
Speaker 1: show of in a good way of the WS main event.
Speaker 1: Like that's like one of the weird cool things about it.
Speaker 1: You know. You get people singing, you get people dressing
Speaker 1: up and stuff, you get people yelling and screaming, like,
Speaker 1: you get the whole thing. And I think this is
Speaker 1: part of it. So, you know, I like it. For
Speaker 1: the people that don't want it, I would say.
Speaker 2: No to you.
Speaker 1: I would just say, let's just do it all a
Speaker 1: little bit better. I do want to remind you that

Speaker 3: Community cards, Yeah, of course, always always, that's a flying
Speaker 3: sat it last night.

Speaker 3: from the burbs of Melbourne.
Speaker 1: The Bird.
Speaker 2: The bird does not even meet like the suburbs. Yeah,
Speaker 2: how they listened to it.
Speaker 3: They haven't listened to recently because you know they just
Speaker 3: got over here, but listened to it on their drive
Speaker 3: to work. And then we had two podcasts listeners playing
Speaker 3: the main event today. Kevin Butler. I saw him two
Speaker 3: days ago. He said, I need a hat. I'm playing
Speaker 3: in the horseshoe, said send me in the table number
Speaker 3: put a picture of him right here playing producer rich
Speaker 3: working magic right here.
Speaker 2: Picture of Kevin.
Speaker 3: He finished with ninety three one hundred in chips, finished
Speaker 3: two hundred and ninety ninth last year for forty five K.
Speaker 3: He's looking to parlay some more Popero podcasts. Hat wrong
Speaker 3: good And then Peter Huddling, you know, saw me walking
Speaker 3: down the aisle here in this golden section was like family, family,
Speaker 3: parlat I'll come back, came back. It was late level
Speaker 3: four yet around nine K gave him a hat.
Speaker 2: He put it. I saw it.
Speaker 3: I saw him depending in and taking the stick as off,
Speaker 3: getting the riot. We shot a foto of him to
Speaker 3: produce a rich put it right right here. Not as
Speaker 3: good for Peta as Kevin Peter baged sixty four hundred,
Speaker 3: but chipping a chair, that's the only matters.
Speaker 2: Do you have any community calls?
Speaker 1: We talked about Jeff being in the final three of
Speaker 1: that one K. His buddy who I am blanking on
Speaker 1: his name? I think it's Jeremiah or Jammy, God forbid me,
Speaker 1: forgive me. I am very sorry. But he said he
Speaker 1: bagged the main events, and then I think his wife
Speaker 1: also bagged the main events. I believe it was Miles,
Speaker 1: who was invested in our fantasy team. He also bagged
Speaker 1: the main events. And believe he said he was down
Speaker 1: to eighteen K and got it up to eighty or ninety,
Speaker 1: maybe seventy whatever. He did very well after getting down.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna have to do some of these shout
Speaker 1: outs tomorrow because they're on my phone on they're over there,
Speaker 1: and I forgot to put them on my computer.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna tell the story.
Speaker 3: Then I met Mike from Cincinnati, Okay, said him and
Speaker 3: his wife listened to the put together.
Speaker 2: They just just came into town. He was the buddy.
Speaker 3: They both played the main event. They both bagged. Mike
Speaker 3: bagged one hundred and forty thousand chips.
Speaker 2: Excellent. Okay, he wanted me.
Speaker 3: He was telling me a story about I have you
Speaker 3: sitting with Tristan Wade, you know, your co commentator. And
Speaker 3: you know, he was saying, Tristan is such a great guy,
Speaker 3: so nice. He was talking to everyone at the table,
Speaker 3: you know, making it very enjoyable kind of day one experience.
Speaker 3: So he really wanted to kind of like let Tristan
Speaker 3: know that that, you know, bit job. And then you know,
Speaker 3: they had an empty seat, so they were talking about like,
Speaker 3: you know, who would you, like, what celebrity living or dead,
Speaker 3: you know, would you want to fill that seat? Okay,
Speaker 3: and and Mike told me that he chose Neil de
Speaker 3: Grassey Tyson. I that's pretty cool, you know, he said,
Speaker 3: some people were choosing Daniel Grant. That's kind of boring.
Speaker 3: But let me ask you that question. You're playing poking,
Speaker 3: get an empty seat on your right, who would you
Speaker 3: celebrity wise think would be pretty cool to come sit
Speaker 3: next to you and you know, enjoy the poker experience,
Speaker 3: not to like, you know, no, they don't they don't
Speaker 3: play poker, you can beat him up, just like, what
Speaker 3: would be a cool experience, you know, to see that
Speaker 3: person that likes sitting next to you.
Speaker 1: I have to think about it. I think I the
Speaker 1: first one that pops into mind is Gary Vaynerchuk.
Speaker 2: Well that's a good one.
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh no, sorry, I know this is easy. Bill Simmons,
Speaker 1: thousand percent. Oh that's a good one. Bill Simmons, that's
Speaker 1: a great one. I would love he does play some poker, right,
Speaker 1: So that's like it is possible, Bill Simmons. I this
Speaker 1: next person. I'll also say this person, but I feel
Speaker 1: like I could make this happen because I know him now,
Speaker 1: Nick right, I think would be fucking incredible. Okay, but
Speaker 1: I don't think that this question is meant for that.
Speaker 1: But Bill Simmons, for sure, Bill Simmons, I think Gary
Speaker 1: View would be cool. I'll say Tom Brady, but I want, like,
Speaker 1: I don't want politically correct Tom Brady. I want, like
Speaker 1: figure out another one who would be really cool. Pat McAfee.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'd be a fucking riot at the Booker table.
Speaker 1: Absolutely right. The Rock, Dwayne the Rock Johnson be a
Speaker 1: lot of fun, too, Stone cald Steve Austin would be
Speaker 1: a lot of fun too, you.
Speaker 3: Know, yeahs wrestlers would be from my childhood. I'd want
Speaker 3: to I'd want Michael Jordan. Obviously I'm a big Michael
Speaker 3: Jordan van but like knowing he's a bad gambler, is
Speaker 3: that why? No, But knowing his competitive nature, like seeing
Speaker 3: him lose a hand, win a hand, bluff a guy
Speaker 3: I think could make some pretty like like fun reactions
Speaker 3: from him that everyone at the table obviously anyone filming
Speaker 3: him and stuff. And obviously it'd be pretty amazing to
Speaker 3: sit with, you know, the greatest bustwall player of all time.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think there's lots of great candidates for him.
Speaker 3: I think Bill Simmons was a really good one from you.
Speaker 3: I didn't really think of that one, but yeah, that
Speaker 3: was pretty cool. You know, Anna, Tristan doesn't really listen
Speaker 3: to the PUD, but you know, past that message on
Speaker 3: the Tristan that Mike from Cincinnati really had an enjoy
Speaker 3: time on day one playing with Tristan. Ok So, and
Speaker 3: then I want to tell one more story before we go.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make this really quick. It's about a race
Speaker 3: I ran today you've seen the video. I'm gonna send
Speaker 3: producer Rich the video.
Speaker 1: Can Producer Rich also put the chair race video in
Speaker 1: the pod? Yeah, so let's start with the chair race video.
Speaker 1: And this is kind of really need to start with it.
Speaker 1: Well we can just we won't talk about it. We'll
Speaker 1: just say there was a chair race video which involved
Speaker 1: aljad remco ring Himam did Christian? It was she in
Speaker 1: the chair race? Was Mickey in the cherries? I can't remember,
Speaker 1: but anyway, you you this happened at the Rio back
Speaker 1: in the day. It was it was the main event time,
Speaker 1: it was very late at night and basically we did
Speaker 1: some form of a chair race which was uploaded to YouTube.
Speaker 1: So the video is out there. I don't think we
Speaker 1: need to show the whole video because it is very long.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of just talking in it. But I
Speaker 1: just like the the main event shame, like the Hall
Speaker 1: of Shame. Hall of Shame.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for the nonsense that we get into it. And
Speaker 3: that led to what you had to Yeah, it was
Speaker 3: dinner break. We had in and Out today. I've been
Speaker 3: looking forward to in and Out for weeks. I had
Speaker 3: a burger and I was like, I'm going back for
Speaker 3: another burger.
Speaker 1: I didn't get in the internet.
Speaker 3: You weren't here, you were doing commentry. I had a
Speaker 3: second burger I was sending outside with the guys. They
Speaker 3: had finished, and one of our audio texts, Matt Miller goes,
Speaker 3: do you think do you think you could beat me
Speaker 3: in a race?
Speaker 2: And I said, one hundred percent?
Speaker 1: Is you sure?
Speaker 2: I think I could? And he goes, I think I
Speaker 2: could beat you?
Speaker 3: And I said to him, I could beat you wearing
Speaker 3: my cowboy boots, these tight ass pants I have on,
Speaker 3: and have a burger in my left hand. Here's no way,
Speaker 3: no way, I'm looking. Let's raceless race. So we're talking

Speaker 3: Matt, by the way, is in sneakers, and to double
Speaker 3: down everything, I've got two double doubles in my stomach,
Speaker 3: so I'm not sure that's the best feel to run.
Speaker 3: I sprint in a car park with potholes, but whatever,
Speaker 3: we line up three two one go.
Speaker 2: We take off.
Speaker 3: He has me by a little bit catch up pretty quickly.
