RISK, RANDOMNESS & DEALING WITH UNCERTAINTY.
Caspar Berry has led many lives, from screenplay writer, actor and director, to professional poker player, poker commentator and renowned keynote speaker. He also once served as the poker coach to Daniel Craig and the actors in Casino Royale, and beyond coaching others to merely look like they know how to gamble, Caspar believes there are parallels between poker strategies and navigating life’s uncertainties. So ante up for an unusually spirited episode of the 3 Questions, 3 Drinks podcast, where Chris toasts Caspar from across the Atlantic to explore the complexities of decision-making, risk, and the role randomness and luck play in our lives.
*Listeners Note* I apologize for the uneven sound quality during this episode as it was recorded via a Teams call between two continents. Next time I’ll do my best to make sure it doesn’t sound like we’ve both fallen into a well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
DRINKS IN THIS EPISODE:
WHITE RUSSIAN COCKTAIL >> 2 oz vodka; 1 oz Kahlúa; 1 oz heavy cream. Add the vodka and Kahlúa to a rocks glass filled with ice, top with the heavy cream, and stir. Best enjoyed while playing Blackjack in the high stakes room at the Bellagio.
VESPER MARTINI >> 3 oz Gordon’s Dry gin, 1 oz vodka; 1/2 oz Lillet Blanc aperitif; Garnish: lemon twist. Add the gin, vodka and Lillet blanc into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously for 20–30 seconds, until ice cold. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Express the oils from a lemon twist over the drink, rub the twist along the rim of the glass and drop it into the cocktail. Remember that this drink is best shaken, not stirred.
GODFATHER COCKTAIL >> 2 oz blended Johnny Walker Red scotch; 1/4 oz amaretto. Fill a mixing glass 2/3 full of ice. Add the scotch and amaretto and stir until well-chilled. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice for an offer you can’t refuse.
