Episode 156 – 06/06/2019 – Bruce Buffer

For their "season finale," the boys have a bumper episode, kicking off with some TV chat (04:00) and Joe's report from the World Series of Poker (09:20), where he played in the Big 50. Expect some questionable analysis, as Joe breaks down a hand he played/butchered on the first day of the event (13:35). There's an extended interview with this week's special guest: UFC announcer Bruce Buffer (20:30). The "Veteran Voice of the Octagon” talks about the two passions in his life – MMA and poker – and how we can expect to see him at more major tournaments in the future, including #EPTBarcelona. In the latest instalment of their occasional series looking back at classic poker movies, James and Joe have a retrospective review of Robert Altman's 'California Split' (49:40). And that's the subject of this week's 'Superfan vs Stapes' quiz (01:11:30), as Martin Nocedal from Illinois competes for some PokerStars merchandise. This show is now on an extended summer break, with the next episode of #PokerInTheEars due on Thursday 15th August 2019. In the meantime, please rate, review and subscribe to the podcast.
