Oh welcome twenty five Whistles. I gotta whistle.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
I got a whistle. Blow it, dude.

All our guests just left. He'll be on in a

he came in, but he's.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Uh thought he was changed my life.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Now, well it didn't change your life?

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Oh yeah, but he would it could it will?

Speaker 2 (00:35):
He's gonna go play the world here as a poker,
and Eddie and I invested into him playing and a
few wins, we win.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
I've never done this for my life, so it's so cool.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
You'll hear that interview coming up in just a little bit.
I got a couple of things that I want you.
Go to lift tournament.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
You did go to the Lift I did, dude, and
it was awesome. Like I've never gone to a golf
tournament before as a spectator, and I can just guarantee
you that PGA is not like this.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Heven't you go?

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (00:59):
I did I've been into PGA one too.

Speaker 5 (01:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah, and it's I having in the mashers.

Speaker 6 (01:04):
Okay, get it, Okay, Yeah I did go there.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
I went for a little bit. Eddie went two days.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
I did. I went Saturday. I took my wife on
Saturday because we asked if you guys.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
My wife's like, you want to buy Eddie and his
wife over and their kids to go to the pool.
I was like, okay, sure, and then she's like, nah,
they don't want to come.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Not true. We had already gotten babies.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
I guess we're going to the tournament.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Yeah. Yeah. It was a lot of fun and it
was cool with her. It was just the first day
and we were getting the lay of the land, so
we were trying to follow certain golfers and walk around,
and it just wasn't that much fun on Saturday. On Sunday, though,
we figured it out. You sit, find a tree in
the middle of the fairway, sit under the tree in
a chair, and get a couple of beers and watch
every single golfer come by.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
Yeah, he goes, I'm not leaving here. Me and my
buddy went. I was like, anyw We're gonna walk around
a little bit like Okay, we'll be here.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Do you take your son?

Speaker 3 (01:51):
I took my son down, my sixteen year old and dude,
and he loved it, like he just knew Michelson's coming.
He goes Miss Michelson. And sometimes, you know, you were
just hoping that the ball would come your way and
it would land like right where you're sitting, so you
just gotta don't have to move and you can sit
there and watch him hit the hit to the green.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
I just read a book called Gambler by Billy Something.
It's a really long book. Phil Michson is the worst dude.
He's the worst human.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
What do you mean, the worst dude? Like all this
do you give me? He gave me a thumbs up.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Dude, you should read that. You don't want to read.
The book's too long for you. I knew if there
was like a kid's version of it, Say read this, Mike.
It's by Billy Walters. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
See this is funny because we talked about Phil Mexan's
bad dude Bryson Deshambo, and I'm like, he just rubs
me the wrong way. He seems too nice.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, it's in a.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Douche and a bad dude. I feel like I can
be douchey at times, but I'm not a bad dude.
Phil Mickelson bad dude.

Speaker 7 (02:43):
You think, And seventy five pages is too much for ready?

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Yes, Oh absolutely, that's a shorter book I've read. I've
read like three books my whole life.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Well, that's why I stopped in the middle. Was like,
it's a long bo it's good, okay, but it's about
this guy's story of sports gambling. Millions started it. But
Phil Mix is a big part of the book because
they were friends. Phil Mix is a bad dude. Yeah anyway, Phil,
But Phil has also gambled over a million a billion
bucks like that was remember the story came out about that.

(03:11):
That's from this book.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
Yeah, yeah, okay.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Let me tell you there is a vibe there knowing
the kind of the whole battle between PGA and these
people leaving for you know, taking the money, leaving the
PGA tour, taking the money, lots of big, big money
to go play for Live Turn Live League, And you
do kind of feel it a little bit because it's
it's anti PGA. You walk in there, they were shorts,

(03:33):
they wear whatever they want, nice, they want they want
to do a hoodie. They can wear a hoodie. Yes,
basically they can do whatever they want. Bones and they
have music playing loud over the course. Yeah, I mean
after driving as they're putting, and at one point Cameron Smith,
like him and his caddie were like, hey, can you
turn that down just for one second while I try
to make this birdie put like just freaking out just
a little bit.

Speaker 6 (03:54):
Did you see John Rahm yell at that drone? No,
we were on the green of that shot. Actually he
was teeing off fun. I forget what hole it was,
but then he looked up and he cursed out this drone.
He's like every freaking shot every tournament, there's a stupid drone.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
Here, like his bawling out of bounce.

Speaker 6 (04:10):
If we were wondering what was going on, because we
saw it happen from the green, we could tell something
was going on. And then I saw it on Instagram
the clip.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
You're getting paid millions and millions of dollars, Just.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Deal with it.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Deal with it.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
They come from a culture of that not being the norm.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Though yeah, well yeah, but now it's not, and you
got paid for it to be the norm.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
But again, deal with it. Yes, but I also could understand, like, man,
I'm not super comfortable, so let me just ask and
see if.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
There is to a feeling of them. They look like
they're having more fun. Not those instances that he just
said of the drone and all that, but for the
most part, like fans are yelling at him, they give
them go and give you fist bombs. They'll come sign
whatever you can bother the player while they're playing the game.
Oh cool, like PGA, Like no, no, they're playing for millions
of dollars, don't that's cool? Yeah? Oh dude, we had
a black so hot, so we did what I'm telling you.

(04:56):
When we had that tree shade and water, You're good
to go.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
We read and I went to a workout with Kevin Klug,
our trainer. He had a big charity workout that Eddie
wasn't able to go to because he went to live
someone it was for charity served and lost exactly his feet,
his legs while you're over there supporting Saudi money off.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
That's just terrible.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, exactly. So we're a team USA. You're full of crab.
So he went to the workout and it was on
top of a big parking garage and it was pretty difficult.
It's really hot. That's why I say it was really hot.
You had I guess I'd be melting out there. We're
supporting oil. Money from Reed's roommate came and so Read's

(05:42):
roomate's name is Dawson, and I met Dawson a few times.
And you know, it's not it's not a super hard workout,
but it's a pretty hard workout. It's not easy. And
the people that are coming to it are people that
I've either worked out with Klug our trainer, my trainer,
or other parts of Klug's company, Klug Fitness, his trainer,
and so Read's roommate Dawson. I said, hey, man, when's

(06:04):
last time he worked out? And he was like, I
don't know, two years ago, and it was so hot
that it wouldn't have mattered what we did. It was
going to be bad. And so a little bit I
worked out with him, just partnering with them on some stuff,
and I was like, hey, do this, great job. Great job,
because I could tell he was suffering.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Smart on you too, to pick someone that's kind of
new that way you can slow your work it down.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
It was it was cliometric stuff, so it really wasn't still. Yeah,
we had, we had, we still had to move. But
Reid did a good job. And Reid was the new
new newbie about two months ago, and Reid starting to
get a little stronger. But how's Dawson doing? She oh, man,
I thought yesterday it's a heat. He might be now.
I don't know. I thought he was penis melted.

Speaker 8 (06:47):
He was dead. Go ahead, I came down. So I
came downstairs yesterday morning and he was on the couch
down there, not even in his own bed. He was
just literally just dead on his cat out. I was like, okay,
I guess he's just going to sleep in. It was
like ten o'clock at that time. It's like, okay, I'll
just you know, I'll let him sleep in. I went

(07:07):
out and I came back. It was like two o'clock,
still there, still there. I was like, this man, I
had to check his pulse.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
I thought he might be gone.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
Day's the worst. He's probably worse today.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah, wish him, wash him our best. I'm sore CD.
I can't imagine him. He's not done it. Proud of him,
yeah me too. I told him. I was like, do
a great job, because that was not easy, but that's
for America and that was a charity workout and somebody
else was working toward m Saudi oil money.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
Eddie texted me like Friday night.

Speaker 6 (07:36):
He's like, hey, I forgot to tell you Clue's doing
the scene Tomorre if you want to go.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
And then he told us you might come, and so
we look for you.

Speaker 6 (07:42):
Oh because you said yeah, I said, I'm going to
try to figure but it was just already had plans
that morning.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
It was just Eddie looking for kickoff and we're looking
around just because Eddie said yeah. Then Eddie asked me
this morning, did Kevin show up? And I was like, no,
he didn't show up. So I was kind of irritated.
I didn't know there was like a last minute mentioned
to you.

Speaker 6 (07:58):
Oh yeah, He's like he even said, I forgot to
tell you this, but Klug wanted me to invite you
to this.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
It's okay. He went to the live tournament and only
stayed for like two hours, Like what three hours? Yeah,
a golf tournament.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Fund to watch in person unless you're sitting on a green.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Again, I've only come about under a tree in the
middle of the fairway.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
That didn't seem the fun of me. But well, you
can't watch it land on the green.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
You can't. You're right in the middle. You see the
t shot, it lands right in front of you.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
And then my preference. I'm sure you had a great
time last we didn't enjoy it and we chased God.
The only tournaments I've ever been to is the Masters,
and I know that's it's not so much a flexus.
It's the only one I've ever been to.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
But I bet there's a billion people there.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Though.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Well they have a cap and if you put a
seat down at the beginning, no one can ever sit
in your seat. Really, so we followed. First of all,
it's hard to get near Tiger. It's hard to get
near Tiger, and so you have to go sit and
wait for him to come by. You want the ultra
ultra flex that I may drop on you. This has
been years, but me, Andy Roddick and John Legend said
at a hole and just gambled on people who get

(08:53):
closest to the green the whole time.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Part three, you guys took your camp in chairs, and
now we.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Didn't take chairs. We just outed a hole though. We
just went and found a spot on a par three,
sat beside the green and then just gambled on people.
That was the most fun that we had because we
weren't like running around it was it was so hot
you can't see the ball when they hit it.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
Yeah, that was the toughest part when.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
And then I made the joke every time like, oh, it's.

Speaker 6 (09:16):
Coming he said some weird stuff there.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Oh dude, No, I had a good one, a real
good one. Whenever somebody hid in the woods or whatever,
I'd be like, yeah, it's top flight, he's hitting the
top flight. He's hitting the Kirkland that one.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Dude. All right, let's go into the tittle tattle. Come
on the tittle tattle.

Speaker 6 (09:44):
Seen some viral field storming videos going on the last
week or so.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
So if you're to storm a field, what would the
event be.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Well, I picked the biggest field so I could run
the most, So I think it would probably obviously be
the super Bowl. But then I want to go. It
has to be football. You're running out of a basketball court,
you got no wording go. Uh. Baseball field more just
filled there, but not as much. They can track you
pretty quick. I don't watch soccer. I'd probably pick soccer field,
but there are more guys I feel. Don't try to

(10:10):
storm with Messy Messi's bodyguard. You ever see him run
with them? When Messi he runs. Everywhere MESSI goes, he
runs beside him on the sideline. It'd probably like the
super Bowl and it'd be football, and only because there's
more filled to run before I just get the crap
smacked out of me by a security guy.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
But then you get on there, and then what do
you do if you lost all your friends, like you
don't know where anyone is, like, and you look for
no what.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
I did that? Somebody bet me ten grand to do it,
So I'm gonna get my money later after I get
out of jail, because in my bet, they bet me
ten grand and they're gonna pay for my legal fees
and getting me out. I'm blind, So that's my mind.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
How long do you think you can make it? I say,
a football game.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
I don't think you can make it sixty seconds.

Speaker 9 (10:51):
What if they tase you, I.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Don't think you'll make it sixty seconds. I mean I
think if you could hit sixty, that's long. But they
have to reach you to tase you, like they got
to get to you.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
And if they get to you.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
They're going to get to you. But yeah, they tased
the baseball game kid, Yeah.

Speaker 9 (11:04):
You think that was deserved? Or what's your take polarizing?

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Did he do a flip?

Speaker 2 (11:10):
He did?

Speaker 3 (11:11):
He landed the flip.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
He landed the flip. Yes, I would say that in
that situation, I don't think he was a threat.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
But te him anyway.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
I think that you can always goss. He could have
been a threat to anyone down there, and their safety
is in our hands. And it also sets the precedent
of you come down here, you get tased. I'm protas honestly,
what's what's worse?

Speaker 3 (11:34):
The taser? A tackle like you can break some of
you get tackled.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Yeah, I think I'm protest and the eighteenth Green Yeah,
the protesters. Yeah, and that that happened.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Or that the travelers, Oh damn, wasn't there for that one?

Speaker 2 (11:49):
No, you were not the America that live.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Yeah, all right?

Speaker 2 (11:54):
What else?

Speaker 4 (11:54):
Which winner take all game were you most excited for?

Speaker 2 (11:56):
I don't care about hockey, but I know it's gonna
be awesome. I don't care about hockey, so I know if
you're gonna ask nothing about hockey. Yeah, there's only ever
been one championship series. It's like nineteen oh seven. I'm
not even sure what the thing is and whatever, and
I know this is happening here and it's oilers in
Florida Panthers. I don't know.

Speaker 6 (12:16):
I don't watch hockey, not even a little bit playoffs
because I don't watch that much.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
But man hockey playoffs are a different animal.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
I don't. Here's the reason I don't, because I respect it,
but I don't know the sport. I don't even want
to learn the sport because if I do learn the sport,
I'm gonna get really invested in it. I don't have
room to get invest in anything else. Between all the
sports I watch, between gambling, between sports, cards, between memorabilia,
between it doesn't matter. I were shooting show. I can't

(12:45):
do hockey. I don't know enough about it. I can't.
I'm done. Go. I hope that Tennessee does not win
the baseball championship to watch it. It's the two It's
two of the most obnoxious fan bases in the history
of time.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
Yaggie's are so obnoxious.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
But I can't root for Tennessee.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Oh sec SEC Tennessee and Arkansas are more of a
baseball rival. Tennessee's head coach is Arkansas assistant coach. If
he wins it at Tennessee, he probably won't go take
the job at Arkansas after our legendary coach leaves.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
Good looking dude, Yeah he's good.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Look at it. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
I thought he was a player for a second.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah. Yeah, like I'm got the beard.

Speaker 4 (13:20):
Yeah, there's the whole hair flow. He throwed dirt yesterday.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
I'm going to root for the Agis and I'm not
gonna watch either one of them because I don't like
anything going on with any four of those.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
Where is the Florida the Panthers? Where are they from?

Speaker 2 (13:32):
What are you asking? Where are they from?

Speaker 9 (13:33):
Like?

Speaker 3 (13:33):
What city are they from?

Speaker 2 (13:35):
I don't know. Ask me about a hockey question, anyone.
What did I just say?

Speaker 3 (13:38):
Does anyone know?

Speaker 2 (13:40):
If I were guessing, I would say Miami, But I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
I think they're from Miami.

Speaker 4 (13:44):
I don't know. That's obviously not Tampa Bay because the
light and.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
That's light Duane North in Miami, Boom, Miami.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
They're from Miami.

Speaker 7 (13:50):
They play in Sunrise, Florida.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Yeah, so it's Miami suburb by which that's the only
place left. That's big enough. If Tampa's already happened, which
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Honestly, I'd never heard of the Panthers. They heard of
the Light.

Speaker 4 (14:03):
They were in it last year too, dude, exactly.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Moving on, because I don't care about either of those games.
Actually I disliked both games. Okay, yeah, go ahead, Hey,
somebody that you do like Caitlin Clark. Do you watch
the whole game? Tak about the It's the stupidest thing up.
They were up like fourteen. They just didn't give the
ball to Kitlin Clark. It was why she even threw
the ball. And with point two seconds left or to
the last shot of the game, the coach made her
throw it in fire the coach fire, the coach the

(14:30):
most clutch shooter in the history of college basketball. And
she's not she'sn't the ball her hands. They are throwing
in the inbounds it. It was so annoying to watch.
Also lost five hundred bucks on it because I took
that fever plus one. It was a terror. But Catler
Clark had thirteen assists. She was being way too unselfish.

(14:52):
She still had double digit points, maybe seventeen points something
like that. I think she went seventeen points thirteen assists. Yeah,
Angel Reyes played really well, but they they should have
moved to Leah Boston over onto Angel Rees because she
was dominating the girl and they were all It was
the dumbest game I've ever seen. Chicago should not have
won that game. What's your question?

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
I don't even remember.

Speaker 6 (15:12):
Actually now, no, do you think she regrets not taking
the final shot.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
I think she's being a good teammate right now, and
I think it's time for her to be selfish. I
think she's being a good teammate. She had thirteen assists.
She's trying to get everybody involved. It is now time
for her to average seven rate assist the game. But
she needs to take more shots. So the end, Jordan
wasn't a good teammate. I'd rather have Leah Boston than
Angel Reeves, first of all, because I can't stand Angel

(15:37):
Rees because she goes after Kaitlin Clark. They don't even
play the same position, they're not even rivals. But it's
good that I can't stand Angel Reaes. That's what you
said the other but I'm saying I'd rather have Leah
Boston than Angel Reaves because her and Kayla Clark will
not be a rivalry. They don't play the same position.
It would be like Shack and Spudweb having a rivalry.
They don't even play each other. Stockton in Shack malthed off. Okay,

(15:58):
but when are you two going to be match up
against each other?

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Jordan and Bird were they same?

Speaker 2 (16:02):
But Jordan and Bird weren't you Magic and Bird? No,
Jordan and Bird weren't really a rivalry.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Yeah, he came and we're all talking about that's a
huge rivalry, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird. They even made a
video game out of it.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
But that's because there were the two biggest stars in
the NBA.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
Yeah, like late eighties. But Bird was on his way
out in Magic.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Was the rivalry, Okay, And they've played each other. They
messed each other.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
And they were both like they weren't theydn't play the
same position because Magic was a massively large point guard
and Bird, although but Magic could play the four. Magic
could play one through four, Bird could play one through four,
but they just didn't play the same number from their
base spot. Does that make sense? That's why that worked.

(16:42):
And they also played agach other in college, But so
did Angel and Caitlin Clark. But Kitlin Clark does not
say anything about Angel rees.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
No, sometimes I just want to tell her to just
come on a little.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Bit nailed it.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
Let me tell you.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Ken's brilliant.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
You can tell her whatever you want. She's not going
to hit you.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
She's just dud all right.

Speaker 6 (16:59):
Next question, someone, despite being sixteen and ten in his
first two years at Oklahoma, do you think signing Venables
to an extension is the right move?

Speaker 2 (17:06):
I didn't see this. This is news to me.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Really, you're an Oklahoma family.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Don't say fan fam my, Lee. Explain to me what happened?

Speaker 6 (17:15):
Sign a new year? Happen your deal over the weekend

Saudi money.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
You know, you did say you have too much going
on sports wise.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
No, but this is one of the things.

deal through twenty twenty nine.

Man, he really hasn't done much. And he's a defensive
coach and offensive world He's a Clemson guy. Right, he
was a defensive coordinator there. But I want say he's
a Clemson guy. He was at Oklahoma. He's been in
Oklahoma before before Clemson. I believe I just remember him
being played there reason. I think he's a coordinator at
Oklahoma regardless, he's got a good recruiting class. They always

(17:58):
had good recruiting classes.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
I feel like that's too early. But ut lest you
store them up and they're going to the SEC you
want stability, what do you do? Anybody have him? I
feel like he was a coordinator at Oklahoma before he left.

Speaker 7 (18:10):
Yeah, co defensive coordinator. Yeah, and linebacker's coach.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
It's a lot of money. That's somebody. I'm done. But
that's my deal. All right, that's Tittle title. Hit his
his name, the Tittle title. We're gonna take a break.
But a couple of things. I do have someone a gift.
Sometimes I just see things and then I go, oh,

Mike Disney drawing from like nineteen forty one or something.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
What was the first thing?

Speaker 2 (19:36):
If you don't remember, and we're playing this game and
there really was something and you don't remember it, I
about to be pissed.

No, that wasn't that. I thought it was a cowboys
saying I thought it was a cowboys saying too, I
don't have anything. Okay if I remember though, hmm, I
means you don't value our friendship.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
That's true, and you love trying to think right now

Speaker 2 (20:05):
Okay, So I got somebody a gift here coming up.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Cool.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
You gotta be careful man, Like when I travel. I
used to bring my kids stuff every time I travel,
and then now every time.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
I get back, like an auction. I didn't buy anything
in an auction or something.

Speaker 3 (20:20):

Speaker 3 (20:48):
Maybe it was that party in Baltimore.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
That Okay, we're going to take a break. I do
have somebody a gift and then we will come back.
Thank you. You have a gift for somebody here. I
don't want Eddie to see it or read the seeater
like to see it, her Kevin to see it. But
I can, you can see it. It's not for you.
She hasn't been around long enough yet. Yeah, okay, I

(21:12):
need to make sure I have the detail. So it
was again, I'm on one of these auctions. Sometimes you
just see stuff and you do. I do, and I'm
you know, I'm quite generous. Thanks, So that about yourself.
Then I set myself yet. So I saw this on
an auction. It was auction number fifteen two four two four.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
Oh, so I know that number.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
First of all, it's a seat to a stadium anything.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
Oh, that's a baseball stadium blue?

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Do you think it's blue?

Speaker 3 (21:47):
Could be the Yankees?

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Is that blue?

Speaker 3 (21:49):
Yeah? It looks like a dark or a shiny black.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Okay. So there's multiple people that have signed this, and
I'll read you a coup couple of them and see
if you know who they are. A couple that I
wouldn't know. Leroy Jordan.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
Lee Roy Jordan, Leroy.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Jordan.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Lero.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Nothing, Nope, nope, Okay, this person's in the Hall of Fame.
But again I don't know who it was. Mel Renfro, No.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Redfro Renfro. Oh, that's a base he's a baseball player.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Incorrect, good, all right, based in the Hall of Fame
win in nineteen ninety six. So this is the seat
back to a stadium chair. That's two people that have
signed it. Everson Walls, Oh wow, hand it over, Hand
it over, Okay, So that's from the old Texas It's

(22:56):
from the old Cowboys stadium. The people that have signed
it are nol Renfro Hall of Fame ninety six, Bill Bates,
three time Super Bowl championscal.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
Bait number forty Yes, linebackers.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Everson Wallas fifty seven, interceptions number twenty four, hell of
a defense, Leroy Jordan number fifty five, Ring of Honor,
Rady nine, and j Novachick Wow four freaking no check three.
And so I saw that from the Cowboys stand down
to build.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
That is awesome.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
And so it looks really uncomfortable. Uncomfortable.

Speaker 8 (23:25):
What do you mean, it's just look at the look
at the back there, the curvature.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
It's just like that top talk read is gonna give
this to you.

Speaker 8 (23:32):
I mean, I'll still sit in it.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
I got that for you. That's awesome, dude.

Speaker 4 (23:38):
Wow, Hey, the Baits jersey is one.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
I wore the game. Keep it to and get more
Cowboys just to sign it.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
Yeah, that's cool, my friend Tony, Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Oh yeah, you can get in to sign it. So
there's that you cool. I got on and I got
that in last week. It took I bought it like
a month and a half ago. It takes a while
for step to get in. And so I got on
the auction site the last night. Wow, and they have
boxes on Sunday nights, and I bought. What I do
is I go on and I just put beds on
a bunch of sports cards and I never hardly ever
went any of them. I woke up and I won four.

(24:10):
I didn't mean to win that many. I won four
with like a sixteen hundred dollars bill I had to
pay this morning. I got a nineteen seventy two Tops
Roberto Clemente Nice. I got a nineteen seventy two Tops
Pete Rose. I gotta sign Nolan Ryan five thousand strikeout,
nineteen ninety upper deck card and a twenty eighteen autographed

(24:37):
rookie card Shay Gogus Alexander. So that those are my
four cards there that I did not know I was
gonna win all of them, and then I saw it.
I didn't expect that bill to be that high because
I expect to get all.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
You posted a video of some Jordan card that you got,
like a mint ten or whatever that you got.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
So I posted a couple. I posted a Jordan because
I sent Jordan at the playground off.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
That's it. That's the one.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Thinking there's no way this comes back a ten because
it's so old. He came back at ten and I
sent off to King Griffey Junior, Donnarus Diamond Kings, and
one came back at ten that I just bust out
in a package.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
That's awesome.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
One came back at ten. One came back in eight.
In the eighth worth like thirteen bucks, but the ten
is worth five six hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
It's amazing how much two grades can change.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
The completely changes it. Yeah for sure.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
Well, anyway, my point was, I saw as soon as
I saw your story on eBay, I saw a Jordan
playground card for auction that just got put up. It
was a mint ten for ninety nine cents, and I
put a bit on it.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
Oh you mean with an auction, yeah, okay.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
And I got the bad news today that I got
out bid.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Well, yeah, of course, whatever that's going to go for.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
It's at two ninety nine. Now what two dollars and
nine nine cents?

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (25:46):
So should I keep bidding, Like, what's my cap on
that thing?

Speaker 2 (25:48):
We'll probably go off for like seventy five bucks. Oh
so it's probably whatever you want to cap it at.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
I just didn't think it was in just an unpack
I found. I also had these nineteen ninety one pro
line because we I was on this sports card show
and I left and they were telling us about this
place near where Reed is, and so I just gave
Read some money and say, hey, go to this garage.
I'll be gone and get whatever. So Read got like
six five six boxes that I've been busting them over
the weekend. I had a Jeter draft pick rookie. Wow,

(26:17):
if it comes back at ten, it's worth like nine
one hundred bucks. It comes back in nine forth like
eighty bucks. It's that difference. But it looks at a
pretty good shape, possibly really good shape. So I'm gonna
send it off. Also, these pro line cards is a
terrible decision of the NFL players do these cards because
some of them are like shirtless, they're like portraits. It
looks like they're about to do like porn. Really yeah, terrible, man.

(26:42):
I saved four of them to run. I'm gonna send off.
I got a Belichick rookie in a Browns I didn't
know coaches had a rookie card. So if it's a ten,
it'll be worth like one hundred bucks or so. But I
have four that I've saved that I'm gonna keep. My
goal is to interview all four of these pro line
quarterbacks and get them to sign them. John l Way okay,

(27:03):
Dan Marino okay, Steve Young, Troy Aigman.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
Those are the four that I kept.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
Awesome, and so I'm honestee, that's the goals. The interviewed
the four pro line quarterbacks that I have from the box.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
When do we have rich Eison coming in?

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Rich Eison is coming to my house in August?

Speaker 3 (27:20):
I think, Okay, I have a CARDI I wanted to sign.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
No, I gave you that card and not to get
what not? Okay, you can get.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Yeah, I saw it on my desk because they gave
it to my kids, and I was like, hey, wait
a second.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Okay, that's what's up. Let me this interview here, Kevin,
think you want to say.

Speaker 6 (27:39):
By the interview, I never knew so much about Poker
Boom until setting this guy up.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
More you well, waiting here? Do you remember his name?
What's up?

Speaker 3 (27:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:48):
His name is Nate making sure Nate dogg Nate. All right,
here we go, enjoy us spending our money on someone
else playing poker for us. Okay, we have Nate Forrest
and studio, and this is what happened. Nate DMed me right. Yeah,
so I just saw it. I think I was going.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Through slid into the DMS.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yeah, and he was like, what do you look at
He's like, look at this. No, apparently have you played
the World Tis Poker before.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
I've played the World Series of Poker, but I've never
played the main event.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
So he's going to play the main event in the
World Series of Poker. Wow, which is pretty cool because
you pay ten thousand bucks and this is the famous one,
this is the big one. And so just tell Eddie
what your message was to me and what your ask
was if I wanted to be a part of it.

Speaker 5 (28:33):
So a lot of poker players get backers, put up
money to play the main event. Some poker players put
up all their money, and I thought about it would
have been easy to get five or ten poker buddies
to put up five hundred to one thousand bucks each
and raise half of it. And the plan was to
put up five thousand myself. That would have been easy.
And I turned fifty on July fifth, and I've never
played the main event. So I just had this wild idea,

(28:56):
why do the easy route and get five or ten
guys to put up five hundred one thousand eats. Let
me get fifty fifty guys and girls, get a team
of fifty to put up one hundred bucks each.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
It would be a.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Little bit more work, but it'll be more fun.

Speaker 5 (29:08):
And I'll have a team of fifty at fifty and
we'll do something. We'll raise little money for a good
charity that I'm working behind. And so we in less
than twenty four hours when I reached out to Bobby,
I had thirty two people that just quick text quick
quick messages, had thirty two people in about six or
ten hours, reached out to Bobby said, I've got thirty
two people. I'm not gonna have any problem getting eighteen more.

(29:29):
But I saw one of your posts. But I would
love to have you on the team also, And you know,
a little bit later he said, I'm in and so.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
So I need to get my fact sorright here, like
if you win, I win money, right, you win money.
I can make sure because.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
I'm at three spots, not not the charity. You win money.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Yeah, we're helping with Cherry.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
We're talking about the charity here, Okay, okay, okay, but
I went.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Right right yep.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Okay. So it was one hundred bucks a spot, and
I gave it. I'll pitt you three hundred bucks.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
So you got three spots.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yes, So let's say you went how much do I get?

Speaker 5 (29:56):
First place? Last year was around twelve million? Ok so
percent you would get around three hundred and sixty thousand
if I win the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Okay, So I get the percentages one percent per one
hundred dollars.

Speaker 5 (30:08):
And the plan was fifty people at one hundred bucks each.
You missed the assignment and said I'll take three spots.
So officially you have three spots. In three names. Now
it's your money.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
That's what I was gonna say.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
So we got Eddie, we got Kevin. We got Kevin.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
So do you have any other open spots?

Speaker 5 (30:24):
It's uh, I've sold fifty spots.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
Fifty.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Then it's okay, so me Eddie come in, But you
don't get any money.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
What are you talking about? I need to get in
on this, but I.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
Already paid the money. If you want to give.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Me Eddie, I will sell a couple more spots. That
you know.

Speaker 5 (30:42):
I intentionally held out my last few spots, and but
then I had people reaching out to me that I
couldn't say no to, and so I came here with
fifty spots, but definitely was held two or three more
spots for something.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
You have to pay your own money if you absolutely
you're gonna give them a hundred bucks a year. You
don't even know if he's ever played cards before. We
talked about poker.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
Now that's not true. You just said you played. You
just never played the main event.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
But you're jumping in without having any knowledge of him soever.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
But that's what this interview is for. We can ask them.
Let's let's keep asking more questions.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
Okay, So then Eddie's gonna get in. Kevin, would you
like your name one of my spots?

Speaker 4 (31:13):
Yeah, we need to do it. Let's do it.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
Okay, but you don't you.

Speaker 4 (31:16):
Know, well I've done some homework a little bit at least.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Did we even start the interview yet? Or is this
We're all right?

Speaker 2 (31:21):
Okay, you don't get any money. Okay, the name of
one of my spots, I want it, Bobby Bones, Bobby Estell.
I'm out because I'm getting my own. Eddie's got his own,
Caitlyn Estell. So it's me, my fake name, my real name,
and my wife. Those are the three names. Because I'm like,

(31:41):
I'm not getting into legal thing. Were you going to
sue me because I went all the money.

Speaker 5 (31:45):
If you don't want to be So, if we make
the top fifteen percent this year, they're doubling it. Used
to it, you only paid about fifteen thousand if you
made the money. So if we make the top fifteen percent,
we get twenty thousand back. So you turn each one
hundred into two hundred buck.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
Oh, it's amazing.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
So we're investing in you, and you're invested in me.

Speaker 5 (32:01):
And I also mentioned a key part of this story
that you know, I didn't know if Bobby reached out
to me because I'm a big Razorback fan go Hogs
with picked sue Well.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
To be fair, I don't reach out.

Speaker 5 (32:08):
I reached back back, yes, clarify ahead, go ahead, or
because I also mentioned the Chris money Maker aspect, I
don't mention that a lot. I don't mention this a
lot publicly, but it's a pretty cool story. I introduced
Chris money Maker to No Limit Texas hold him about
twenty five years ago, and of course he went on
to win the two thousand and three main event in
two thousand and three. And you know, he's a professional

(32:30):
poker player sponsored by ACR, and so a good friend
of mine. And so I'll be meeting him in Vegas
to play the money Maker Tour event over at MGM
a couple of days before the main event.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
That I like that we have no ideas with the money,
Let's just give him more money.

Speaker 5 (32:45):
I'm not sure if I'm going to play the seventeen
hundred dollars money Maker main event because it leads into
the main event, but I'm playing the It's just a
three hundred dollars tournament.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Money Maker. He does a money Maker tour around the country.

Speaker 5 (32:54):
So if you ever see if you guys ever see that,
you know posted in Florida and Texas and Kentucky. He
has a money Maker Social Poker Room in Louisville if
you guys want to jump in and play a little
cash with Chris Moneymaker. He pops in from time to time.
I drive up there every once in a while. But
in Vegas for the main event, we're gonna be with
the Moneymaker Tour and then that's all practice. Maybe we'll

(33:15):
win a little bit of money before the actual main event,
but we're gonna have some fun.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
So how did you start playing poker? What's the best
you've ever done? Are you any good?

Speaker 5 (33:23):
I play a lot of cash games. I'm a winning
cash game player. I've been a winning cash game player
for twenty five years, and I've played a lot of
tournaments and won several tournaments. But I've just never played
anything as big as the main event. I think the
biggest cash I've ever had is right around ten thousand
and done. You know several tournaments where I've won two
to ten thousand, and a lot of tournaments where you
went eight hundred to two thousands, So this is one

(33:45):
of those things where it's like one lesson I'd like
for anybody listening is I call them all in moments.
We have these decisions in life where you put something off,
whether it's to start a show, a podcast, or to
start a business or start a whatever. Well I'll call
them all in moments because then poker, when you when
you pick a hand and you go all in, that
you're all in moment. And every year I said I'm
going to play the main event next year, I'm going

(34:06):
to say I'm going to play it next year next year,
for like ten fifteen years, I'm going to play it
next year. So now this is the time to start
playing the main event because it's a good field with
a lot of really bad players and a lot of
really good players too.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
But the bad players can suck you out and I
just play competitively for a while sometimes because you can't.
They're so bad you can't actually commit them to any
thought because who knows what the freak they're thinking.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
Yep, that was me for a long time. Like I'd
show up and they'd be like, I really didn't know
how to play, and they'd be like, I don't, I
don't think I can believe you, and they've really thought
I didn't know how to play and I didn't know
how to play, and they're like, no, he's tricking us.
And then i'd win all the time.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yeah, you wouldn't win all the time, like you'd like
be searching river a five and that's all you were
looking for.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
Straight, I'd make everyone fooled. Everyone would be full like
he's probably got something.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
I shouldn't say this.

Speaker 5 (34:53):
We have some really good games in Nashville with you know,
a handful of bad just like any poker game, and
there's some good players. With the bad player, you just
want to make sure you have a good hand. With
the good players, you can be a little bit. You know,
you could bluff them a little bit more so you
know there's obviously more that goes into it.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
But okay, and you have been playing for a long time,
you know how to play. Make sure our money's protective.

Speaker 5 (35:14):
Boys, thank you, And if I win, you might it
might be highway time.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
You know, it's like the movie Rounders. You might not
ever see me again.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
Is there a way that we can watch how good
you're doing?

Speaker 4 (35:24):
That's give me your money and I'll run with it.

Speaker 5 (35:28):
Because if I win, I'll owe six million dollars. So
if you never see me again, you know it's been nice.
You know, you have to form at a razorback game.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
I might be in a Yeah, we'll find you.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Can we watch and see.

Speaker 5 (35:39):
Yeah, that's a good question. Uh, we'll talk about like
what kind of group for updates. A lot of times
when people do stuff like this and they have a team,
like whether it's Telegram or an Instagram feed or whatever, will.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Happen to send us on a horse.

Speaker 5 (35:51):
And we'll have I'll have a feed whatever's best or
discord or something. We'll do a feed where I have
updates for just for my team. But then the World
Series be on Poker Go. So you know World Series
of Poker, they air part to the main event and
the tournaments that are going on right now, Like last night,
I was watching clips from the two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars buying and that finished up last night, and

(36:12):
so but people would have to have the Poker Go
app to watch clips of the main event, and then
I believe I don't think they show it on YouTube
or anything like that until after it's all said and done.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
But you get just like message me and be like
we're still alive for sure, and like you're gonna get
yourself some those massages right like while they're I do
you wear sunglass?

Speaker 5 (36:29):
I'll need another, you know, a couple of three thousand
dollars a day so I can get full massage.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
That's what wants to invest in massage?

Speaker 2 (36:36):
Do you just you do sunglasses?

Speaker 5 (36:37):
Everybody asked this, and you know what's interesting is I
was bringing this up with some of my buddies the
other day, is like, this is the great question. Because
I usually don't wear sunglasses when I play like a
cash game or whatever, because they're not as necessary as
people think. But for this main event, I will wear
sunglasses a lot of the time because it's important to
be a little bit more relaxed, hidden focused. So if

(36:58):
I'm looking over here, I don't want you to know,
like you know, I might. I might be looking here,
but I'm really looking to see what somebody's gonna do
with their chips with their cards.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
So yes, I will wear sunglasses. Is there a dress code?
Like could you go in looking like a bank robber?

Speaker 5 (37:10):
You dress a lot of people, Some people dress up,
but a lot of people wear hoodies, T shirts, jerseys.
People are real fat. A lot of players wear jerseys
to represent their favorite schools. So there'll be a day
or two I'll wear in Arkansas jersey. You know, I
had had my own little all in Marketer T shirts
made up, so we'll have fun with it. You know,
you want to be comfortable, but a hoodie, hoodie to
stay warm.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Always.

Speaker 5 (37:31):
Every time I play poker in the casino, you carry
a hoodie with you so you can be warm. You
don't want to be cold. Then they might think you're
nervous when you really just cold, and they call your
bluff because you really know, no, I'm cold.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
What about music? You listen to music while you play?

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Ever listen to music while I play?

Speaker 5 (37:46):
For this less so than than you know, maybe kind
of like when I run and I just carry one
earpod in my ear so I can hear if a
cars coming. I'll probably do something like that. Little low
key music, calm music music, believe it or not, a
lot of times when I play poker, I listened to
worship music just to keep me focused and in the.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
Flow in the zone.

Speaker 5 (38:06):
You know, we've got a stacked team, a team of
fifty you know, not just Bobby Bones. We've got people
like Laura Wilde, who's an NBA mental performance coach. She's
my mental performance coach who's going to help me stay
in the zone. You know, of course, Chris Moneymaker, the
owners of card Player Cruises who you know, take a
lot of vacations with and play poker on these card
Player cruises, Tina and Martin of Polaitano, Linda Johnson who's

(38:27):
in the Poker Hall of Fame.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
She's on my team.

Speaker 5 (38:30):
So we had We've got a stacked team of people
behind us and Chris Moneymakers on a roll right now.
As far as luck, he not only just won first
place in a Triton event a couple of weeks ago,
about a month ago, for over a million dollars, but
then he won third place in a Triton event a
couple of days later, and the last couple of weeks
he's had a little piece of a guy named Chance
Cornick who lives here in Nashville, who owns chip Leader Coaching,

(38:51):
and Chance has been doing really really well.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
I got third place in a big tournament for about
one point six millions.

Speaker 5 (38:57):
So we've been me and Chris been talking like he's
he's got a little bit of luck on his side
right now. So we're rolling into this thing with some
good vibes and good Mojo was.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
Watching The Money Game with Jimmy Butler. A lot of
those guys were playing. You ever played with any celebrities
or athletes The.

Speaker 5 (39:13):
Year after Chris Moneymaker won the main event, we all
went out the Vegas two thousand and four for the
main Event, and of course he had a lot of
attention ESPN and showed it every night forever, and the
poker bom started, and so we had cash games with
Ben Affleck.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
Tobey maguire got to play with.

Speaker 5 (39:28):
Them two or three nights, and one of the night
finished the game broke because Ben Affleck tried to bluff Chris,
and Chris thought about it forever and ever never finally
called him with like a five high flush on the
paired board and the game broke. Like great Chris, he
busted Ben Affleck and Toby McGuire. Toby McGuire, I'll never
forget he played really tight. Now, this was before Molly

(39:49):
the Molly's Game movie that was centered around Tobey maguire,
And it's interesting because what the experience I had with Toby.
He hardly ever played a hand. He treated it like
he was, you know, playing with his last ten thousand dollars.
And so we had fun. And there's been other games
with just you know, you know, different celebrities and stuff,
but you know, not as much. I used to run
private games here in Nashville. And don't mention that to anybody.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
The house didn't get a cut.

Speaker 5 (40:15):
Exactly exactly. Tennis Titan players come play with us and stuff.
Speaking of Titans, we've got Matt Rogers, the public address
announcer for the Titans.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
He's on the fifty at fifty team.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
So yeah, cool man, you in still?

Speaker 3 (40:27):
Oh, I'm very in it.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
You can tell your wife no.

Speaker 3 (40:29):
And now we've got Eddie on board and she'll wonder too,
like why why are you so invested in this poker game?
Don't worry about it.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
You are a digital marketer as a daytime job.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
Yeah, I do that.

Speaker 5 (40:42):
I enjoy helping businesses, especially people that have home based
businesses or a small business just starting up, you know,
help them with their marketing, their branding, just helping them
get more attention, created a brand called all in Marketer,
helping them just kind of create what the understand what
they're all in moment is as far as like maybe
you need to get better on Facebook or Instagram, or
just need a better brand. You know, have help help

(41:03):
people put together multiple six figure and seven figure brands,
just just working with them one on one with.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
The main event. How what's the max amount of hours
you can play today?

Speaker 1 (41:12):
Twelve to fourteen.

Speaker 5 (41:13):
They usually start around noon, eleven or twelve am, go
to one or two in the morning.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
I played a tournament once in Vegas. What was the
old casino had the big boat in front.

Speaker 3 (41:20):
Of it, Uh Treasure Island.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
Treasure on. It's only tournament I've ever won. And I
played in turn and it was I swear to God,
eleven hours long just to get to the fine, just
to get to the final table. Then it ended pretty quick.
Once we got to the final table, I was dead
because you got fifteen minute break now five minute breaks,
I think, just to go to the bat. I was
dead when it was over. Lunchbox came in and watched
when it started, and then he went to the club.

(41:42):
Then after the club he came showed up with two
like Asian girls showed up at the table like five
hours later, and I was like, what U. And then
later on in the morning we were finishing, came back again,
no Asian girls with them. This time I had two
Asian girls. It was the craziest and he just can't
and he kept coming back to see if I was
still alive. And to win is to win a whole
tournament is lucky, like you really have to have some

(42:04):
to be a good player. Is not just about luck.
What do you say to people who go, well, let's
tall luck card is all luck.

Speaker 5 (42:11):
They're right in the short term, in any one hour window,
it's probably you know, ninety percent luck, ten percent skill,
and they're wrong about the long term. If you play,
I plan on playing the next ten to fifteen main
events as long as I'm healthy.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
I'm gonna start doing this every year.

Speaker 5 (42:24):
We'll put together a team every year, and you play
ten main events or ten tournaments, it's you know, eighty
percent skill, twenty percent luck whatever. You know, there's no
exact percentage, but you play one hundred tournaments and it's
ninety nine point nine percent skill, you know, point oh
one percent luck. You know I can I can play
cash game poker the rest of my life, and it's
one hundred percent skill.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
I can't lose. I can lose on any given night,
any given week. You can have a losing month.

Speaker 5 (42:49):
But at the end of a certain number of hours
whatever that is. Once you once you understand the fundamentals
of poker, you know, you leave winner at the end
of you know, one hundred, two hundred and three hundred hours.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
Generation Why, what is it? And why is that important
to you?

Speaker 3 (43:02):
So?

Speaker 5 (43:03):
I used to host a show on Clubhouse called the
Social Media Show. We for a couple of years, we
met every morning and we did, you know, the social
media talk. I brought in a whole team of influencers
and business owners and we just taught social media stuff
and met a good friend of mine, Marcus Black, who's
a motivational speaker and a motivational speaker. I went out
on my end, but I guess you could. You and

(43:24):
Marcus Black is involved with the organization called Generation Why.
They're based in Oklahoma City, but they go around to
different states and schools and they go into the inner
cities and they work with kids who, you know, kids
who need help most, maybe they're dealing with mental health issues, bullying,
and they go in and they basically dig you know,
dig kids out of the deepest issues that they're going

(43:46):
through and they go in and entertain them, talk to them,
work with them one on one, and so they have
a cause.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
I have a hat on with the MC.

Speaker 5 (43:52):
It's called the Millionaire Club, and they're basically, over the
next ten years hoping to get a million people to
donate five bucks to help them keep going around the country.
They've been to several states and they help kids, you know,
that are on the verge of the worst possible thoughts
of an ending their life or whatever. And they go
in and they've been able to take kids out of
some of the deepest, darkest times and turn them around

(44:14):
into you know.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
Productive members of society. And so it means a lot
to me.

Speaker 5 (44:18):
We're going to take a piece of all these entries
and already donating two Generation Why and then I'm going
to take two percent of anything I'll win and give
the Generation Why. And so I appreciate everything Marcus and
the and Jordan over it Generation Why are doing to
do that. And I actually have a link on my
website at nateforest dot com. It's just at the top
if anybody wants to give five bucks. It goes directly

(44:40):
to the front lines of people going into the schools
and talking to kids that need help, you know, need
us the most.

Speaker 2 (44:46):
How far do you have to get before we make
some money.

Speaker 5 (44:49):
It's about two and a half days, so day three
sometimes it's the start of day three. Some years the
main events a little bit different, but two and a
half days, give or take a few hours ya each way.
It could be late day three, it could be early
day three. And once you make the money, it's twenty thousand,
you're guaranteed and then you're on a complete free roll.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
When does this start start?

Speaker 5 (45:11):
Sorry, So there's so many people in the main event,
there's around ten thousand people in the main event that
they have four different day ones.

Speaker 3 (45:21):
I didn't realize that.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
Wow, different day one. So the first day is July third.

Speaker 5 (45:27):
My birthday is July fifth, So I'm going to play
the third day one unless I decide to play the
money Maker main event before, which is a seventeen hundred
dollars main event over at MGM. That would push me
back to the fourth day one, which would be July sixth.
So we'll be playing on either July fifth or July
sixth for sure, and then it's a basically a seven
or eight day journey to win it.

Speaker 2 (45:48):
We'll be on vacation anywayly that weekend, perfect, you want
to go to Vegas for a little bit.

Speaker 3 (45:53):
I wish how cool would that be?

Speaker 2 (45:54):
Be pretty cool? Eddie, are you in?

Speaker 3 (45:56):
I'm in. I'm already I'm in. But let me ask Nate.
Let me ask you this.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
Since you are being backed, add one hundred bucks to
this ten k right.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
Here for that Okay, I flip your coin for that
ten klip.

Speaker 3 (46:09):
So, since you're being backed financially, does it make you
a little less stressed going into this or does it
make you could you be playing a little more careless?

Speaker 5 (46:20):
That's a really good question. I think there's gonna be
moments of both. For the most part, it's not because
you know, I mean, it's only one hundred bucks. It
doesn't mean anything to you know, you guys know. But
but but also I've thought about this, and I'm like,
it's gonna be a little I've got fifty people on
my side instead of like four or five, So I'm
gonna be a little bit more nervous because it would
be really cool to perform for the whole team. You

(46:42):
know for myself, even though I have five thousand dollars invested.
I mean I've played tournaments. You get knocked out if
you get pocket aces cracked. Some some some idiot gets
all in with you know, six and a seven hearts
and he gets he's beat. Yes, you know whatever if
that hap you get all in with a set of kings,
you flyp three kings and they have a eight high
flush straw and then you get all the chips in
and they beat you.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
So for my money, that'll that just is what it is.
It stings, it kind of sucks, but it just is
what it is.

Speaker 5 (47:08):
You move on to the next You go down the
street to the wind or the or the Orleans and
you play a little cash that night and you get
the ten k back. But for the team, yeah, yeah,
they'll be a little bit of uh, you know a
little bit more anxiety, just because I want to perform
for the team for sure.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
For sure, Kevin, are you wanting Internet? No?

Speaker 4 (47:24):
I think I'm out.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
Okay, we talk about it. Then I'm gonna put Kevin's
name instead of my wife because she'll kill me. Oh really,
She's like, I don't want to be an on poker match.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
Why not, That's what she'll say. She can win some
big money.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Man, she gets money anyway if I want. That's true.

Speaker 4 (47:37):
I don't get any of it.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
No, none of it.

Speaker 4 (47:40):
Name, image and likeness of the name.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
You're not called d read No, I can't. Okay, we're
gonna use that name. Okay, we're gonna use those names.
And then so it starts to fit through the sixth.
We should probably be rich by the ninth.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
By the twelve, twelve, ninth, well, thirteenth. There's a day.

Speaker 5 (48:03):
There's always a day break after like a there's basically
four day ones, two day twos. So we'll get like
two days off before even play our day two damn.
And then you're playing every day. So you play like
four or five days in a row until you get
to the final table, and then you take another day
off for the final table. Yeah, it's it's eight, eight, nine,
ten days long. So hopefully, hey worth it for us.

(48:25):
I'm calling the shots.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
We're gonna be rich.

Speaker 5 (48:26):
Yeah you got you got the exclusive interview with the
twenty twenty four main event champion.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
I also didn't know that I was like stealing peoples spots.
I sent three hundred bucks I was like, I'm in
four percentages. It was one hundred bucks.

Speaker 5 (48:36):
I'm like, yeah, I told my sister rachelho's here with
me today. I was like, yeah, Bobby missed the assignment.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
Yeah, you guys know me.

Speaker 2 (48:42):
You give me a shot and I want to get in.

Speaker 3 (48:44):
I want I want multiple shit.

Speaker 4 (48:45):
He's like, Rachel, you're out.

Speaker 3 (48:47):
Did you know there were ten thousand entries?

Speaker 2 (48:50):
Yeah? Yeah, I mean yeah, sure, that doesn't affect me.

Speaker 1 (48:52):
Last year was the record they had.

Speaker 5 (48:54):
I can't remember if it was just under ten thousand,
just over ten thousand, but they broke the record last year.
Before that, it was like seventy five to eighty five
hundred each year. When Chris won it in two thousand
and three, there was only like eight hundred something entries,
and then they had the poker boom, and the next
year it had like twenty four, twenty five, twenty six
hundred entries, and then every year it's been kind of
like when they shut down the poker sites online a
few years ago, it kind of went down. Now it's

(49:15):
a it's on another upswing.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
Now.

Speaker 2 (49:17):
Why do you think the payouts so big as the end?

Speaker 3 (49:19):
No, I know, it's just that sounds like a lot
of people.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
Hey, that's all we're hiring him.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
That's our dude.

Speaker 2 (49:24):
It's our dude right there. All right, cool, Well, appreciate
you coming in. Yeah, we're excited that this is how
we're gonna get rich. We thought about you, thought about
how it's gonna happen, but this is out, This is it.
Never would have seen it coming, it coming.

Speaker 3 (49:37):
He take Venmo nate or they get cash for you,
all of all the above. Perfect.

Speaker 5 (49:41):
Yeah, and next year the next year will make it bigger,
you know, maybe get a bigger piece. And you know,
if we don't win it this year, maybe we'll win
it next year. If you have twenty percent of it,
and then he win two point four million next year
instead of just three hundred thousand this year.

Speaker 3 (49:51):
I'll tell you what, if we win this year, we're
gonna go big next year.

Speaker 5 (49:54):
But I would like to finish off by anybody that's
listening out there, you know that hasn't played the world

into the poker I'll tell you why. I'm glad he didn't.
If you haven't heard the story, Reid was winning so
much on DraftKings. He called them, he called the eight
hundred number, had him shut down his account because he
enjoyed it so much. He was winning. I've never heard

(51:31):
of that before.

Speaker 3 (51:32):

a lot of swimming, but now they're on the track.
That's the good stuff. It's got so fast.

Speaker 6 (52:17):
Remember I told you my dad and sister went to
the parade the Celtics bread and it was a crazy parade. Yeah,
And my sister went to Oregon, so she brought an
Orgon flag and Peyton Pritchard went to Oregon and he's
a big Oregon guy. And then so he saw the
flag as they're going by, came down, grabbed the flag
from her, took it throughout the rest of the parade,
brought it into the garden. They're taking pictures with the

(52:38):
flag inside the garden. They took like the picture of
them sleeping on the flag. My sister's flag went on
the parade with him in the garden. She messaged his
friend was like, Hey, that's my flag, and he's like,
we lost it.

Speaker 4 (52:48):
I'm sorry. We'll give you something signed if you want.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
That's cool.

Speaker 3 (52:51):
Really cool. Yeah, that's cool, but that does suck that
it's gone though it's flag tooah.

Speaker 4 (52:56):
Yeah, but you see pictures you're like, that's my flag.

Speaker 2 (52:59):
Raid. I'm just I'm shocked at at how.

Speaker 8 (53:04):
Better I performed at the workout that we did, like
because of the last two months. I was one sure
I was gonna die, and I did die a little bit.

Speaker 2 (53:13):
But he did pretty good. I'm proud of myself, O, Katie,
thing you want to say?

Speaker 9 (53:17):
Nothing new for me. I went and saw a movie
this weekend, the Watchers. It's an M Night Shyamalan.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
I like those movies for the most parts.

Speaker 9 (53:27):
Yeah, I wouldn't say it's my favorite of his, but
it was interesting. I called the ending though I got
it right.

Speaker 7 (53:32):
It's not night his daughter.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
Oh, it's his daughter from another podcast.

Speaker 7 (53:40):
He does have a movie coming out later this year.

Speaker 9 (53:42):
But this is.

Speaker 3 (53:44):
What's her name, Mike.

Speaker 9 (53:45):
Maybe that's why I didn't think it was as good.

Speaker 7 (53:47):
I forgot her she because she goes by m N too.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
What she goes by M Night Shyamalan not Shyamalan Night Shyamalan.

Speaker 3 (53:57):
Interesting?

Speaker 2 (53:59):
All right, thank you all. Well, we'll see you. I
hope that he does pretty good the pot. I have
a feeling though I don't hope he does good in
the tournament. It's tough though, it's just a lot of people.
It's just tough. It's tough to survive.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
And how do you just like, how can you be
that good?

Speaker 2 (54:12):
But somebody has to survive. It's not always about being
good yet, get lucky to know. Were you thinking that
if I got in that he would win? Is that
what you were with this? We wanted your read magic.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
That'll be nice, that read luck.

Speaker 3 (54:22):
Where tables are just easy.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
This game is so easy. Well read craps aren't always
like that. We should go again tomorrow night and you'll
see for yourself. I just want eight hundred more dollars.
Maybe it is all right. We'll see you guys next time.

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
