James and Joe present the latest instalment of the #PITE book club, as they review the poker-themed novel 'We Run Bad' (available in physical, digital and audio form). They're joined by the book's author John Curry – possibly the most cynical man on the planet – whose personal experiences inspired the novel's dark narrative. 'We Run Bad' is also the subject of this week's Superfan quiz, with Jon Delano from the USA competing for some PokerStars merch. Plus, Joe gets excited about ice creams and baseball commentary, and the boys find themselves 'Running AMOQ' once again. Please don't forget to comment, like and subscribe to the podcast.

James and Joe are back with their first post-SCOOP podcast. Yes, after 306 tournaments, 18 live streams and a controversial end to the Player of the Series contest, it’s time for an event recap. And who better to join the boys for this week’s show than Fintan ‘easywithaces’ Hand, who won his second Spring Championship of Online Poker title during #SCOOP2021. Fintan talks about his bittersweet victory, his near-miss 48 hours later, and his stupid decision to attempt eating an inedible quantity of cheap chocolate! Elsewhere, James and Joe discuss being jabbed, and recap some of the movies they’ve watched in the last few days (warning: James gets on his soap box for a totally unnecessary and utterly skippable rant about the James Bond film ‘Moonraker’). Finally, Kevin Pryor from New Jersey competes for prizes in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’, answering questions about the 80s comedy ‘Stripes’. Please don’t forget to comment, like and subscribe to #PITE.

Joe has declared that, because of this episode, #PITE is now part of the MCU! The boys are joined by Ryan Firpo, the American film-maker who directed the poker documentary ‘Bet, Raise, Fold’ (2013) and made a series of mini docs about members of Team PokerStars Online (including ‘The Teacher’, featuring Felix Schneiders). Ryan is now working in Hollywood, and has co-written the screenplay for ‘The Eternals’, part of Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, directed by Oscar-winner Chloe Zhao. So, for this week’s show, James and Joe get to talk about two of their favourite subjects: poker and Marvel movies. Meanwhile, Martin Villasenor from California decides to re-live news events of 2020 (why?!?) in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. Please don’t forget to comment, like and subscribe to the podcast.

Joe is back from Mexico, where he got to hang out with some of the poker industry’s finest at the wedding of former WSOP finalist Garry Gates. However, he did miss out on an exciting instalment of #PokerStarsRetro, featuring a young, interestingly coiffured Dominik Nitsche. This week, the boys are joined on the podcast by Parker ‘tonkaaaa’ Talbot, who talks about his journey from playing high stakes SNGs to becoming of the biggest poker streamers on Twitch, before deciding to “retire” as a caster to focus on his game, and then returning to content creation and signing with PokerStars. He’s also quizzed on his knowledge of Tonka trucks! Finally, Darrel Plant from Oregon picks the Martin Scorsese movie ‘After Hours’ as his specialist subject in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

For their latest poker movie special, James and Joe discuss the 1968 Western ‘5 Card Stud’, starring Dean Martin and Robert Mitchum.

Penny is a big poker fan who plays in an online home game with Joe, and included ‘5 Card Stud’ in a season of gambling-related classics. The film is also the subject of this week’s Superfan quiz, with David Westerveld from Toronto competing for a #SundayMillion ticket and some PokerStars merch.

This week, James and Joe are joined by comedy writer/producer and poker fan Kim Caramele. Kim got her break writing sketches for her sister on the TV series ‘Inside Amy Schumer’.

Right now, Joe is in San Diego for a tournament series (expect a plethora of bad beat stories on next week’s podcast), so hasn’t had time for watch a single episode of ‘Top Boy’ – which means Mark Hindry from the UK stands a strong chance of winning a #SundayMillion ticket in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

After discussing Phil Hellmuth’s behaviour at the World Series of Poker, James and Joe launch into a poker movie double bill. One great. One…not so great. They revisit ‘California Split’ (first reviewed on Episode 156) in the company of the film’s writer, Joseph Walsh. Then, it’s all aboard the ‘Money Plane’, easily one of the worst gambling-themed motion pictures ever made. But it gets a fair amount of airtime (pun intended), as it’s the subject of this week’s Superfan quiz, with Brian Fahy from Ireland hoping to win a couple of #SundayMillion tickets.

Joe has been dropping Paul Schrader’s name for the better part of two years now. Finally, the writer-director of ‘The Card Counter’ makes an appearance on the #PITE podcast. As James says on the show, Paul is one of the filmmakers who transformed American cinema in the 1970s, writing the screenplays for Martin Scorsese’s ‘Taxi Driver’ and ‘Raging Bull’, before going on to direct ‘American Gigolo’ and ‘Cat People’. Paul talks about his latest film, and why he wanted the protagonist to be a card player. He also discusses working with Joe on making the Hold’em scenes authentic, his own experiences playing poker, the music in his movies, and his memories of filming ‘Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters’ and the ‘Exorcist’ prequel. ‘Mishima’ is actually this week’s Superfan subject, with Marius Vitas from London hoping to win #SundayMillion tickets and PokerStars merch.

She’s a huge poker fan, and joins the boys to talk TV shows and card games.

James and Joe conclude their mini-series of episodes celebrating 20 years of PokerStars by talking to one of the most successful players of all time. Erik Seidel makes his first ever appearance on a poker podcast, discussing his origin story, the boom years, his dislike of playing Hold’em on TV, his depiction in ‘Rounders’, his pivotal role in Maria Konnikova’s poker career, his cameo appearance in ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’, and how he stays competitive in an ever-evolving game. Meanwhile, the boys draw a line under the various activities that have accompanied #TheBig20, including the Rewind series, the $5m guaranteed Finale and the Players Awards. Finally, Chad McVean from Canada makes a return appearance, competing in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’ for the second time. It’s a very special edition of this contest – themed around PokerStars history – with a very special prize. #PITE returns in January 2022.

For their first podcast of 2022, James and Joe recap some of the poker headlines from the last few weeks, including the winner of #Dare2Stream, the amazing accomplishment of the #EPTOnline Main Event champion, the standout moments from the #WinterSeries, and the story of the trio of players / content creators who’ve bought a poker room in Texas. Yes, there are three guests on this week’s show, as Doug Polk, Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme discuss their new business venture. They also take part in one of the most ill-conceived, poorly-executed (and entertaining) quizzes in #PITE history. Talking of quizzes, Joanne Kane from Canada is given the chance to win a #SundayMillion ticket, as she answers questions about the 1995 movie ‘Casino’ in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

It’s the latest #PITE Poker Movie Monday on a Wednesday (in this case, recorded on a Thursday and released on a Friday). James and Joe finally take an in-depth look at ‘The Card Counter’, starring Oscar Isaac, Tiffany Haddish, Tye Sheridan and Willem Dafoe. It’s a film that’s been discussed on the podcast MANY times, as Joe served as the poker consultant during pre-production and principal photography, and, ahead of its theatrical release last year, the boys interviewed writer-director Paul Schrader. For this episode, they’re joined by producer Lauren Mann. Plus, Super High Roller reviewer Sam Greenwood makes a brief return to the show, breaking down the film’s main Hold’em hand. And Joe’s mother gives Sight and Sound magazine a run for its money, providing top-level analysis via a series of text messages. Finally, Sveinn Dal Bjornsson from Iceland is our ‘Card Counter’ Superfan, competing for a #SundayMillionAnniversary ticket and some PokerStars swag.

In the first of their #PITE summer specials, James and Joe tackle the serious subject of cheating in online poker. This comes in the wake of some high-profile cases involving the use of real-time assistance software. So, how big a problem is it? What other methods are players using to try to gain an unfair advantage? How does Stars stop people breaking the rules? These questions are directed to Francis Lincoln, Head of Game Integrity at PokerStars. Think of him as the Chief of the Poker Police! Francis talks in detail about his remit, and how his team combines advanced tech and human detective work to keep the online tables safe and fair. If you’d like to hear more from Francis – and have a specific subject you’d like him to address – please join the podcast community on Discord (psta.rs/Discord) and submit your question.

James and Joe are back from their brief, but intense trip to Barcelona. They look back at the opening leg of Season 12: a record-breaking festival, with the biggest Main Event in EPT history. There's a review of the penultimate PCA 2015 TV show, which features more words of wisdom from Maurice Hawkins (the American William Kassouf). Maurice joins the boys on air, re-living some of his emotional highs and lows from the PCA, including THAT spat with Shyam Srinivasan. You can also hear the trailer for his forthcoming film, 'Hawk Like a Man'. Plus, there's a treat in store for fans of 80s cinema, as John Berry competes in a movie quotation contest in this week's edition of 'Superfan vs Stapes'. #EPTNotLive

Before they disappear to Spain for the first stop of EPT Season 12, James and Joe bring you 'The Barcelona Preview Show'. It's a slightly misleading monicker, as they spend more time talking about James's fan edit of 'Superman II' than the EPT festival, but there is a rundown of key events on the schedule, a reminder of the dates for #EPTLive (26th-30th August), and an interview with Fatima Moreira de Melo from Team PokerStars Pro. That's right. Fatima is on the podcast. Cue a plethora of profanity! Plus, the boys review the PCA Main Event Bubble show, read some of your suggestions for “sportifying” poker, and give Peter Blow the opportunity to 'Carry on Qualifying' in 'Superfan vs Stapes'. The next NEW episode of #EPTNotLive will be a post-Barcelona special on Friday 4th September.

It's our first Transatlantic show. James is in London. Joe is in Jersey City. They're united by cutting-edge technology and a super-fast Internet connection. What could possibly go wrong? This week, the boys reflect on their trip to Toronto for Daniel Negreanu's Summer Party (there's plenty of love for the city's poker fans and supersize nachos). Chris Moneymaker comes on the podcast to talk about his appearance in the latest PCA TV show. Plus, he's forced to play a round of his least favourite game, 'Is That Your Real Name?' We discover if ice hockey really is Jake Feskanin's specialist subject, as he competes for a T-shirt in 'Superfan vs Stapes'. Oh, and there are three moments of genuinely appalling rapping.

Following their 200th anniversary celebration, James and Joe present the after-party! And, having just spoken to the writer/director of ‘Molly’s Game’, they now get to interview one of the stars of the movie, Michael Cera, also known for his roles in ‘Scott Pilgrim vs the World’, ‘Superbad’ and ‘Arrested Development’. Michael is a huge poker fan, and reveals he relished the opportunity to portray Player X in Aaron Sorkin’s adaptation of Molly Bloom’s book. He’s also a regular in one of Joe’s home games, and, on that subject, Mr Stapleton shares some hand histories from a recent tournament (spoiler alert: one or more of them MAY be a thinly-veiled bad beat story). Meanwhile, Michael Hughes from Calgary competes for a #SundayMillion ticket and a #PokerInTheEars T-shirt in a ‘Heathers’-themed edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

James and Joe present the 200th episode of the podcast, available in audio AND video form (watch the show at psta.rs/YT or psta.rs/YTUK). In this special extended edition of #PokerInTheEars, the boys reflect on making it to the double century, and share some of their personal highlights from the previous 199 episodes. They’re joined by Jennifer Shahade and Benjamin ‘Spraggy’ Spragg to talk poker and pop culture, recapping the recent #SundayMillion live streams and reviewing the Netflix series ‘The Queen’s Gambit’ (Jen provides an expert view as a Woman Grandmaster). There’s also the chance for them to congratulate Spraggy on his engagement to Marle Cordeiro. Then, it’s time for James and Joe to welcome their first special guest, 15-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth. Off the back of a marathon Omaha session – and no sleep! – Phil waxes lyrical about his recent results, discusses how he’s perceived by the high stakes community, and defends some of his notorious meltdowns and rants. The second special guest on this week’s show is Oscar-winning writer/director/producer Aaron Sorkin, who talks ‘Molly’s Game’ (and whether he considers it to be a poker movie), ‘The West Wing’ (James’s favourite TV show), and ‘The Trial of the Chicago Seven’. Finally, Joe’s poker nemesis – ‘West Wing’ and ‘Scandal’ star Joshua Malina – takes part in a unique edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’, as Maria Ho presides over the least skill-based Hold’em game of all time.

James and Joe have reached the end of their journey through the European Poker Tour archives. The last few #EPTRetro streams featured Ben Wilinofsky’s victory in Berlin in April 2011, and deep run in Madrid a few weeks later. As the post-script to their Retro series, the boys catch up with Ben and talk to him about the “glory days,” and how his life, and relationship with poker, have changed over the last nine years. Meanwhile, with the PokerStars Arena becoming the latest stop on the tour, there are new tournaments to talk about. James and Joe discuss the controversial conclusion to the #EPTOnline $10k High Roller, and preview their Main Event coverage (on Twitch and YouTube). Finally, Alex Gray from the UK answers questions about the British version of ‘The Office’, as he attempts to win a #SundayMillion ticket in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

They discuss some of the 10 year-old tournaments they’ve been revisiting, and look ahead to the first ever #EPTOnline series – which is also going to be streamed. This week’s guest is author and multi-award winning storyteller Matthew Dicks, who was commissioned by the PokerStars Blog to write an article about how to tell a GOOD bad beat story (https://www.pokerstarsblog.com/en/news/how-to-tell-a-good-bad-beat-story-by-a-master-story-teller/67209/).

As a follow-up to their ‘Bad Poker Movies’ special from three years ago, James and Joe lift the lid on two more “classic” films from the height of the poker boom (2003). They start with ‘Shade’, starring Stuart Townsend, Thandie Newton, Gabriel Byrne, Jamie Foxx and Sylvester Stallone, before moving onto ‘Stuey’ (also known as ‘High Roller: The Stu Unger Story’), a biopic of the three-time WSOP Main Event winner starring Michael Imperioli from ‘The Sopranos’. Joe is watching both movies for the first time, while James is revisiting them and wondering if they’re actually as terrible as he remembers. ‘Stuey’ is also the subject of this week’s quiz, as Dave Slusher competes for #PokerInTheEars merchandise in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

While James was off sick, Joe turned 48 and moved house. He also failed to keep his promise to take a break from Hold’em, and has continued to run horribly. (He seems intent on sharing his pain, telling bad beat stories to anyone who’ll listen!) Fortunately, he did find time to read ‘The Only Way To Play It’, a new poker-themed novel by Peter Alson. Peter is the guest on this week’s show, talking about his career as a writer and poker player, his latest book, and his previous works, including ‘Take Me to the River’ (about the 2005 WSOP) and ‘One of a Kind’ (a biography of Stu Unger, co-authored by Nolan Dalla). Finally, Cameron Kight from the USA competes for #PokerInTheEars merch in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’, answering questions about music of the 2010s.

In addition to their own live streams and TV shows, James and Joe reflect on some of the other poker content being produced right now, specifically the YouTube series ‘POKERithm’, created and hosted by WPT champion and WSOP bracelet winner Matt Waxman. Matt joins the boys to discuss the format (team duplicate poker), his experiences producing the show, and his desire for the European Poker Tour to return so he can win an EPT Main Event and complete the Triple Crown. Elsewhere, the boys find themselves ‘Running AMOQ’, as they answer one question posed by a loyal listener (using the hashtag #PITE).

The podcast is back from its two-month summer hiatus. But James and Joe haven’t had a break.

Both are discussed on this week’s show, in the company of Griffin Benger, a core member of the commentary team for both productions. Of course, the boys have had a LITTLE bit of downtime, so talk about some of the movies and TV shows they’ve recently watched.

James and Joe look back at the historic #SundayMillionAnniversary, tease the upcoming #TurboSeries and recap the first few editions of #EPTRetro (streaming every Wednesday and Thursday on Twitch and YouTube). Joe also reveals he’s been playing in some (online) Hollywood Home Games – cue a ‘Hand History’ – with one of his comedy heroes: actor-writer-producer Michael Ian Black. Michael makes a guest appearance on the show and talks about his love affair with poker, from Baseball (a strange variant involving a LOT of wild cards) to Seven Card Stud to Hold’em. The boys unveil their plans to revisit the 1998 poker movie ‘Rounders’ in the next few episodes and appeal for a Superfan. Meanwhile, this week’s Superfan, Miles Miller from North Dakota, answers questions about ‘Blade Runner 2049’ as he competes for some #PokerInTheEars T-shirts.

James and Joe recap a hugely successful #EPTBarcelona, re-living the highs (an incredible turnout, a series of entertaining live streams) and the lows (James getting sick, lightning striking the venue). Plus, they speak to the winner of the record-breaking EPT Main Event, Italian pro Giuliano Bendinelli. Joe also talks about his post-Barcelona vacation with Ben and Marle Spragg, and the guys look ahead to the 2022 World Championship of Online Poker: previewing their cards-up coverage of some of the biggest #WCOOP tournaments, including the 12 new World Championship events. Finally, Reece Poole from the UK is tested on his knowledge of the UEFA Women’s Championship as he tries to win a $109 #SundayMillion ticket in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

James and Joe are back with the first #PokerInTheEars of 2020. It’s been more than two months since they last recorded a podcast, and a LOT has happened since then. The boys recap their trip to Vegas, where James made two final tables (sort of), their unexpected live stream from #EPTPrague, their Christmas/New Year holidays, and Joe’s various losing sessions in Hollywood home games. They’re joined by the host of one of those games: Grammy and Emmy-winning filmmaker Joseph Kahn. Joseph has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the music industry. He talks to James and Joe about his work as a director, his passion for poker (which resulted in him getting a gig on a PokerStars commercial) and his interest in battle rap (which led to him making the movie ‘Bodied’). Finally, Alex Sadler from London competes for #EPTSochi satellite tickets and brand new podcast merch (!) in an ‘Interstellar’-themed edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

The boys are joined by bodybuilder, fitness model and poker fan Zac Aynsley (aka: ‘Mr Biceps’), who recently came 25th in Moneymaker’s ‘Road to PSPC’ in Newcastle. As Zac is the guest on this week’s podcast, Joe has branded it the ‘Health & Fitness’ episode. The theme is basically an excuse for him to talk about his road trip with Norm Macdonald and tell the story of the former EPT crew member who desecrated Joe’s hotel room and abused his toothbrush after an intense gym session! It also gives James the opportunity to be smug about surviving for five days on a plant-based diet. Elsewhere, there’s some ‘Star Wars’ chat (‘The Mandalorian’, ‘Jedi: Fallen Order’ AND ‘Maclunkey-gate’), a tribute to the late John Gale, and Sam Pye from London answers questions about ‘Fleabag’ in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

It's a Twitch special this week, as Joe gets some streaming tips from the ultimate caster: Jason Somerville. The boys talk about a couple of controversies at the World Series of Poker, and “Activate the HOLPOPE!” to get the expert opinion of Neil Johnson (Head of Live Operations, PokerStars Europe). There's the result of James's 'Star Wars' contest, another amusing Kamal Choraria anecdote, a rather maudlin instalment of 'Adventures in Online Poker', and Glenn Webber from Canada tries to dispel the myth that “Nobody remembers second place” in 'Superfan vs Stapes'.

As advertised on ITV’s ‘The Chase’! James has been incredibly poorly, so was unable to spend last weekend at #LexLive (hence the absence of a full event recap). He also missed out on a screening of ‘Joker’, but Joe’s hot take is that the movie is not worth watching. The boys highlight a couple of #PlatinumPass winners at Aspers, and discuss the other main poker stories of the last seven days: the proposed Stars Group/Flutter merger and the allegations surrounding Mike Postle. This week’s guest is poker player, commentator and podcast host Jamie Kerstetter. She talks to James and Joe about her journey from law to poker, writing one-liners for Doug Polk and her ongoing mission to convince her family that she actually has a job. Finally, Natasha Kendall from the UK aims to win prizes by answering questions about the Patrick Swayze movie ‘Road House’ in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

Joe is in LA, while James is where the action’s at: Aspers Casino in London. This week’s podcast was recorded at Lex Live 2, with many members of Lex’s community and other popular streamers (plus Spraggy) in attendance. Joe talks about his experience playing PokerStars VR for the first time and his lack of success in the VRPT. But most of the show is focussed on special guest/co-host Lex Veldhuis, as he explains the objectives of #LexLive, the learnings from the first event, and his hopes for the second. He also weighs in on the recent Twitch debate started by Doug Polk and Jaime Staples. Finally, Sanne Bombeek – a Lex fan from Belgium – competes for an #EPTPrague satellite ticket and some Stars swag in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. Please rate, review and subscribe to #PokerInTheEars.

James and Joe are back from Barcelona.

They also talk about the #ChaseYourDream live stream, which included the launch of the PokerStars Players’ Championship 2020 and the presentation of the first five packages to next year’s #PSPC.

Despite the lack of a new TV episode or recent live event, James and Joe manage to find enough stuff to talk about to fill an 81-minute podcast! They look back at the 2015 Spring Championship of Online Poker, and speak to the man who dominated the series: Jason Mercier from Team PokerStars Pro. Joe tells tales from a high stakes poker player's wedding in Italy, while James indulges in some extreme 'Star Wars' geekery. And Simon Baker (not 'The Mentalist') competes for a Step C ticket and a T-shirt in 'Superfan vs Stapes'.

The boys start this week’s podcast with a few movie and TV reviews, and Joe has details of another losing session in a Hollywood home game. He also tells the tale of an unnecessary road trip across Florida caused by a gap in his geographical knowledge. Talking of Florida, James and Joe run through the winners of the “Big Four” at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open, and speak to the champion of the $2,650 event, Jessica Dawley. Jessica is a US Air Force veteran and pro player who has some interesting thoughts on how the poker world needs to evolve to bring more women into the game. There’s a preview of next week’s #EPTBarcelona live stream, including info on the special ‘Chase Your Dream’ event taking place on Tuesday 27th August.

James and Joe are back from their summer break and kick off the show by discussing what they’ve been up to in the last eight weeks. In Joe’s case, that’s mostly nothing, but he did make the final table of a charity tournament in LA, and has a fun anecdote involving Bruce Buffer and a swag bag. As the boys find themselves pitted against other poker commentators in a slightly awkward popularity contest, they resurrect ‘Social Media Beefs’ to take issue with Daniel Negreanu’s Twitter polls. But the main focus of this episode is the 2019 World Series of Poker, and the success of EPT fan favourite Hossein Ensan and James and Joe’s friend and colleague Garry Gates. Garry, who’s Senior Manager of Player Relations at PokerStars, finished 4th in the Main Event for $3,000,000. He’s this week’s guest, and talks about his WSOP experience and all the podcasts he’s already appeared on!

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.

There are also top-line reviews of all the movies and TV shows James and Joe have watched in the last couple of months, and, in a special edition of ‘Adventures in Online Poker’, two #PokerInTheEars listeners (one of whom sounds VERY familiar) provide their personal perspectives on the new PokerStars game 6+ Hold’em.

This week’s podcast begins with everyone’s favourite sound effect, as James apologises for the lack of the advertised #TurboSeries freeroll. However, the good news is the boys have organised a NEW freeroll, with an increased prize pool. Huzzah! Joe looks back on the hugely successful comedy night at #PCA2019 with Clayton Fletcher – a comedian who’s just as funny as Joe, but far more proficient at poker. On that subject, ‘The Life of Stapes’ sees Joe talk about his recent showbiz escapades, playing in a Hollywood home game and at a charity tournament in LA. There’s even a couple of ‘Hand Histories’ (which provide evidence supporting the earlier statement about Mr Stapleton’s poker prowess). Finally, the Michael Douglas-Val Kilmer movie ‘The Ghost and the Darkness’ is the specialist subject in this week’s edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’, as Alex Parkin from Canada attempts to win an #EPTSochi satellite ticket.

Three weeks into the 2022 World Championship of Online Poker, James and Joe take stock of the series so far with Howard Swains from the PokerStars Blog. Plus, they speak to UK pro Benny ‘RunGodlike’ Glaser, who’s having a solid #WCOOP: at the time of recording, he’s won two trophies and has come second in five other events, making him a strong contender for Player of the Series. There’s also some (amateurish) strat talk, as James tries to get his head around a hand that Joe played in a recent live tournament. Finally, Irish podcast listener Bennet Griffin goes for glory in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’, answering questions about the 1969 movie ‘The Wild Bunch’.

James and Joe have a lot going on right now. In addition to their #SundayMillion streams every Monday, they’re hosting #PokerStarsRetro on Thursday afternoons, they’re back on TV in the USA (new episodes of the #PSPC air every Friday at 11pm ET on FS1) and they’re planning a special broadcast of the #MICOOP Main Event final table on Tuesday 9th March. But that doesn’t mean they weren’t able to find time to watch ‘Danny’s Game’, possibly the worst poker movie ever made. It was Lance Bradley – President and Editor in Chief of PocketFives – who put the film on their radar, so they invite Lance onto the show for a deep dive into this cinematic disaster. It’s also the subject of this week’s Superfan quiz, as Guillaume Labelle from Canada competes for a Sunday Million 15th Anniversary ticket.

James and Joe are back from their mini break, and have a few movies and TV shows to review. They run through the latest poker headlines, including an important #EPTPrague update and plans for the #PSPC/#PCA2019 live stream, plus successes for Fatima de Melo and Fintan Hand. This week’s guest is #PlatinumPass winner Nathan Manuel, who spent most of 2018 #ChasingPlatinum, before winning the Moneymaker Tour event at Run It Up Reno. He also takes on Joe at ‘Fifth Element’ trivia in this week’s first round of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. Yes, there’s a second Superfan: the boys welcome Danish student Toke Gerding Jensen to the show. Toke was in contention for the top prize in the #PokerInTheEars Freeroll League, before server issues stopped him being able to play the two games. So, James and Joe try to make amends with a ‘BoJack Horseman’-themed competition. Please rate, review and subscribe to the podcast.

This was meant to be the #WCOOP 2022 recap episode. But the agenda changed on Sunday 25th September when there was a malicious Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack on PokerStars, resulting in the cancellation of all World Championship of Online Poker Main Events. Understandably, this left thousands of players angry and disappointed. So, James and Joe are joined by Chris Straghalis, Director of Online Poker Experience at Stars, to discuss what happened. Strag talks through the events of that night, apologises to those affected, explains how the site is responding to the threat of further attacks, and reveals plans for a bigger and better final weekend of WCOOP in November. Even though several tournaments have been postponed, there are still results from the series worth highlighting, so the guys check in with Howard Swains from the PokerStars Blog. And Sebastian Generali from the USA picks ‘Donnie Brasco’ as his specialist subject in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. Please subscribe and join the #PITE community on Discord (psta.rs/Discord).

This week’s guest is Mo ‘The Destroyer’ Schwab, the Canadian qualifier who became the star of Episode 2.

There’s a very different vibe to this week’s podcast. James and Joe find time for a quick recap of their last Twitch stream, featuring Arlie Shaban’s 6th challenge, and have details of the next round of the #PokerInTheEars Freeoll League, but there’s no TV Recap or Superfan, as the boys dedicate most of this episode to an extended interview with Erik Audé, the American actor, stuntman and poker player who was jailed in Pakistan for three years after being duped into drug smuggling. Erik tells his story – as documented in the new film ‘3 Years in Pakistan’ – and explains how the game of poker played an important role during his time in prison, and helped him readjust and rebuild his life when he eventually returned to the USA.

Off the back of their first Monday-night stream, James and Joe run through the latest poker headlines before welcoming Arlie Shaban to the show. The former ‘Big Brother Canada’ contestant, best known for his 125-day and 43-hour Twitch marathons, is currently undergoing the ’12 Labours of Arlie’, and uses the podcast to “tell the world about his deeds,” and share his life story.

The boys look ahead to their forthcoming trip to Toronto for Daniel Negreanu's Summer Party, and Joe has a special message for the Canadian poker community. There's more Twitch chat, as another episode of 'High Stapes Poker' is put under the microscope. James and Joe to talk Twitch, and re-live his days marketing video games. Joe recounts his recent journey to the Black Country for a fan-hosted comedy gig. And, talking of fans, Andy Gibbons avoids revealing 'Game of Thrones' spoilers as he competes for prizes in 'Superman vs Stapes'. Oh, and the PokerStars toilets come up in conversation. Again.

James and Joe deal with some unfinished business from last week, including a couple of leftover Monaco anecdotes. One of them involves stomach muscles. The other, condoms.

Joe recounts his recent trip to Brighton, which involved a comedy gig, a pub poker game and a near miss! Finally, Ed Killworth is tested on his knowledge of EPT champs in 'Superfan vs Stapes'.

Joe is back – and sounding better than ever! To James’s horror, he describes, in graphic detail, the surgical procedure on his vocal chords, and gives a lightning-fast summary of everything he’s watched while in recovery. Meanwhile, James recaps the two #SundayMillion final tables that Joe missed, and teases the first edition of #PokerStarsRetro (live every Thursday, starting 4th March, at 15:00 GMT on Twitch and YouTube). This week’s guest is Twitch streamer Craig ‘onscreen’ Shannon, who talks about his journey from gamer, to professional ‘Counter-Strike’ player, to content creator and occasional poker player. Craig’s had some decent MTT scores, live and online, and has recently starting playing/streaming PokerStars VR. Finally, ‘girafganger7’ returns to the podcast: high stakes pro Bert Stevens is this week’s Superfan, hoping to beat Joe in a ridiculously difficult quiz about ‘The Godfather’ (Parts I and II).

The boys are back from the EPT Grand Final. Joe has some stories to tell, and a few of them don't involve women! Johnny Lodden is this week's guest; he talks to James and Joe about THAT fold at the Monaco final table (and Joe forces him to play a game designed to ensure he never gets over it). There's a review of the latest EPT London TV show, Joe's 'Adventures in Online Poker' in the first two SCOOP events, and Nick Vazquez takes on the master in 'Superfan vs Stapes'.

In the wake of the most controversial “hero call” of all time – a hand on Hustler Casino Live that has provoked allegations of cheating – James and Joe enlist the help of high stakes pro Sam Grafton to analyse the confrontation between Garrett Adelstein and Robbi Jade Lew (8c7c vs Jc4h), and provide his thoughts on what REALLY happened. Sam also discusses his recent huge score: winning $5.5m in a $200k invitational event at the Triton Super High Roller Series in Cyprus. None of this should overshadow Joe’s accomplishment! He explains how he won a $10k World Series of Poker Main Event seat in a charity tournament in California at the weekend. Finally, Daniel Baron from the UK volunteers to ‘Go’ for glory and a #SundayMillion ticket in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. Please subscribe and join the #PITE community on Discord (psta.rs/Discord).

It’s the #EPTLondon preview show.

Following their week of live streams from the UK capital, Joe is back in LA and James is in Malta “on PokerStars business.” They look back at #EPTLondon 2022, summarising the key winners and recapping the Main Event, a tournament filled with many accomplished players and interesting characters. One of those characters was the Romanian film-maker (and producer of #dogpoopgirl) Dan Chisu. He joins the guys to reflect on his deep run in London, which resulted in a seat at the final table, and his career in cinema and comedy. Finally, Canadian listener Tim Assie competes for a #SundayMillion ticket in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’, answering questions about the movie ‘What We Do in the Shadows’.

It’s a pop culture special on this week’s podcast, as James and Joe discuss some of the movies and TV shows they’ve watched in recent months – with the assistance of an EPT champion! Special guest reviewer Niall Farrell reveals that he’s played very little poker in the last 12 months, spending most of his time being a dad and streaming anything and everything. There are SPOILERS left, right and centre, as the trio break down the Season 2 finale of ‘The Mandalorian’ and talk about the first few episodes of ‘WandaVision’, before moving onto ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ and Pixar’s ‘Soul’. They finish with a critique of Christopher Nolan’s ‘Tenet’, which James actually failed to watch because he was too engrossed in ‘The Morning Show’. Finally, the 2007 adaptation of Jane Austen’s ‘Persuasion’ is the topic of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’, as Lisa Scott Gordon from the UK competes for a #SundayMillion ticket. With Joe out of action for the next two weeks, #PokerInTheEars is taking a brief hiatus. Expect our next episode at the end of February.

James and Joe are back after a three-week break, which means there’s plenty to talk about, including the recent #EPTSochi live stream, which had its highlights (Appendix Guy) and lowlights (Igor Kurganov’s pathetic attempts at performing the ‘Chop Pot’ song). Meanwhile, Joe tells some behind-the-scenes tales from his new TV show, including the story of ‘The Spaghetti Sauce Incident’! The boys also discuss the amazing achievement of the Staples brothers, and check in with Jaime, now that the #UltimateSweat is receiving mainstream media attention, and has resulted in a NEW year-long bet. There are details of the #SundayMillion 12th Anniversary: Take 2 and the next $500 #PokerInTheEars freeroll.

The boys look ahead to five days of live streaming from #EPTSochi (Sunday 25th – Thursday 29th March at YouTube.com/PokerStars). There’s info on the broadcast times, freerolls, and some interesting changes to the Main Event.

A few weeks later than originally planned, James and Joe are able to draw a line under #WCOOP, and provide a full recap of the 2022 World Championship of Online Poker. Having spent three consecutive nights covering the $10k Main Event, the guys deliver a slightly shorter podcast than usual, but summarise the key stats and stories (just how many trophies did Brazilian players win?), and find time for a general trivia themed edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’, with long-time listener and live stream viewer Julian Laing competing for a #SundayMillion ticket and PokerStars merch.

James and Joe discuss the latest episode of #PSCMonteCarlo (now available to watch at channel4.com/poker in the UK & Ireland, and on PokerStars.tv in the rest of the world). This week’s guest is Celina Lin, who played on the feature table on Day 3 of the Monte Carlo Main Event, alongside Daniel Negreanu, ElkY and Hossein Ensan. Celina shares her memories of that day, including her thoughts on her bust-out hand. She also talks about her latest personal injury, which resulted from an unusual early-evening desire for a kebab, following a visit to the Palace of Versailles! Finally, the boys are joined on-air by Harry Mansell, who takes on Joe at ‘Gladiator’ trivia in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. Please don’t forget to rate, review and subscribe to #PokerInTheEars.

James and Joe have two TV shows to recap on this week’s podcast – the first two episodes of the #PSCMonteCarlo Main Event (now available to watch at channel4.com/poker in the UK & Ireland, and on PokerStars.tv in the rest of the world). They talk to Robert Pankowski, the online qualifier who featured in both shows. He relives his Monte Carlo experience and reveals what he did with his €10,000 score. In ‘Adventures in Online Poker’, the boys discuss Power Up, the new poker variant with game-changing powers. Expect some hot takes and top tips! Plus, there’s a really geeky ‘Jaws’-themed quiz, as David Nicholls from Devon competes for a #PSCPrague satellite ticket in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

Joe has decreed that this episode is a ‘Halloween Special’. Why? Jennifer Tilly – star of horror classics like ‘Bride of Chucky’ and ‘Seed of Chucky’ – is this week’s special guest. Jen is an Oscar nominee and WSOP bracelet winner. She talks movies and poker, including her memories of playing in televised events in Europe during the boom years. Meanwhile, the boys celebrate THEIR return to TV (#PSCMonteCarlo is currently airing on Channel 4 in the UK & Ireland, and is available to watch on #PokerStarsTV in the rest of the world). And Kate Bell from Madrid answers questions about the Mike Myers movie ‘So I Married an Axe Murderer’ in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. Want to come on the show and win prizes? Hit us up: #PokerInTheEars.

Welcome to the Jungle! The legendary Daniel ‘Jungleman’ Cates is the guest on this week’s podcast, discussing how he’s changed as a person since the days of the nosebleeds on Stars and Tilt, his interest in music and charity, the importance of integrity in poker, and the things he’d like to change about the game (he’s not a fan of players who feel the need “to randomise and tank 20 seconds on each hand”).

In this special episode, James and Joe look back at two of the worst poker movies of all time, which also happen to be two of the worst Hollywood productions of the late-2000s. They conduct comprehensive, retrospective reviews of ‘Lucky You’ (2007) and ‘Deal’ (2008), analysing the appalling poker, mediocre writing and questionable acting. Loyal listener Gareth Taylor also made the mistake of watching one of these films, but at least he stands the chance of winning a $109 #PCA2018 satellite ticket in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

Plenty of poker action to recap this week. James played in the #LondonSeries at The Hippodrome, while Joe recently spent an evening grinding the Sundays on PokerStars. And both entered the $5k #PokerInTheEars freeroll. So, expect a few hand histories, plus some mediocre analysis of less than optimal play! Ahead of their review of the “classic” poker movie ‘Lucky You’, the boys talk to Barry Greenstein, who had a small role in the film, and worked (briefly) on the production as a poker consultant. Barry also provides an overview of the current LA cash game scene, and explains how he became the ‘King of Play Money Poker’. Finally, Gareth Morgan from Wales competes against Joe in a ‘Walking Dead’-themed edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. Please don’t forget to subscribe, and rate the show.

James and Joe are still on a high after their big night at The Hippodrome. They tell some behind-the-scenes stories from last week’s live show, and recap the poker tournament that followed. They also run through some #WCOOP and #PSFDublin results. This week’s guest is seven-time Snooker World Champion Stephen Hendry, who was at the Dublin Festival, and is planning to play more tournaments in the coming months. James has details of the London Series this weekend (6th-8th October), and the ‘Road to Bahamas’ promotion now running on PokerStars. Plus, maths student Christopher Wathen tries to out-‘Archer’ Joe in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. Next week, the boys will be re-watching two of the worst films ever made, and recording a special ‘Bad Poker Movies’ episode.

There’s less than a week to go until ‘Poker in the Ears LIVE’, which means the boys are starting to get the jitters. They kick off Episode 99 – aka: ‘The Flake’ – with their thoughts on the latest TV dramas and smartphone models, before delving into the world of #WCOOP with Mike Leah. Mike, known online as ‘goleafsgoeh’, remains a contender for Player of the Series, and talks about his approach to WCOOP and his attitude towards poker in general. James and Joe discuss the ‘Poker Masters’ event in Las Vegas, and the subsequent Twitter spat between Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth. They also preview Episode 100, with a rundown of what’s happening when at The Hippodrome, and who fans can expect to see on the night. Finally, Georgina James from London is tested on her knowledge of the EPT 13 Barcelona final table in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #PokerInTheEars

As far as James and Matt are concerned, the podcast isn’t on summer break until next week. But Joe’s clearly had enough already, and has vanished on vacation seven days early! Yes, Uncle Daddy is absent from the show, leaving his work wife and work abusive stepdad to hold down the fort. Luckily, they have Daniel Negreanu to keep them company, as he makes his annual guest appearance. Daniel discusses his Vegas vlogs, celebrates his string of cashes at the World Series of Poker, and offers his two cents on a few WSOP controversies, including THAT angle shoot and the ongoing debate about dodgy decks of cards. In ‘Adventures in Online Poker’, Matt talks about teaching his Twitch viewers to play Badugi and 2-7 Triple Draw better than he can. And, with Joe AWOL, we present the first ever edition of ‘Superfan vs James Hartigan’, as Jack McCurdy competes for a #PSCBarcelona satellite ticket in a ‘Top Gun’-themed quiz. #PokerInTheEars returns on Thursday 10th August 2017.

The rest of the show is dedicated to the 2006 James Bond movie ‘Casino Royale’, as the boys take a retrospective look at Daniel Craig’s first outing as 007. Obviously, the film’s numerous poker scenes come under the microscope, and James explains why the infamous four-way all-in is not the most egregious hand in the movie. Finally, with one of our loyal listeners letting us down at the last minute, Matt is forced to go head-to-head against Joe in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #PokerInTheEars

Joe starts the show with a few anecdotes from his recent trip to Wales, before the focus turns to poker news, and some early results from the WSOP. This week’s guest is Brad Willis from the PokerStars Blog, a veteran of the World Series of Poker. Brad talks about his early days covering live tournaments and the growth of the Blog, and recounts some fantastic Vegas stories. The rest of the podcast is dedicated to the Oscar-winning 1973 classic ‘The Sting’. Matt has just seen the movie for the first time, and shares his thoughts, while Joe explains why it’s one of his favourite films of all time. And James has compiled a ‘Sting’-themed quiz so that Jason Anderson from Munich (via New Zealand) can compete for a €109 #PSCBarcelona satellite ticket in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #PokerInTheEars

James, Joe and Matt look back at #PSCSochi, and celebrate/commiserate with Chris Moneymaker on his 15th place finish in the Main Event. Chris is also forced to play yet another round of his least favourite game, ‘Is That Your Real Name?’ Joe reveals the result of his #SCOOP2017 competition, Matt tries, and fails to recount a hand from a recent charity tournament, and James appeals for a listener to take part in next week’s podcast, when the boys will be discussing the classic Paul Newman-Robert Redford movie ‘The Sting’. There’s a €109 #PSCBarcelona satellite ticket up for grabs, so why not apply to be the “Sting Superfan” on Episode 90? (Tag your tweets #PokerInTheEars) And, talking of Superfans, Joao Matteus from Brazil turns the clock back to 2015, and answers questions about a “classic” episode of the podcast in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

The boys summarise the last week of #SCOOP2017, including Joe’s trip to Canada to play the second phase of Event #01. They also reveal details of the recently announced Sunday Million Live, and look ahead to five days of live streaming on #PokerStarsTV from #PSCSochi. But the biggest news of the week concerns Kevin Martin from Team PokerStars Pro Online: he’s won the Canadian version of ‘Big Brother’! In an exclusive interview with #PokerInTheEars, Kevin tells James, Joe and Matt about his experience on the TV show, his relief at being a free man again, and how much he’s looking forward to returning to the online tables and streaming on Twitch. In ‘Adventures in Online Poker’, Matt recaps his recent Razz-themed antics. And James Wearn from the UK is tested on his knowledge of ‘Bones’ in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

Joe and James look ahead to their two-week trip to Monaco, go behind-the-scenes at the PokerStars toilets, and are mildly disturbed by Daniel Negreanu's "streaming" on Twitch. They also reflect on Willie Tann's words of wisdom in the latest EPT TV show (now with added pan flute!), chat to Marc-Andre Ladouceur about the guy who stalled on the bubble in the London Main Event, and give Marshall Yoo from Pennsylvania a chance to win a prize in 'Superfan vs Stapes'.

There’s a lot of poker news to cover this week, including the announcement that PokerStars live events are returning to 15% payouts, a couple of stories from mainstream news publications (one of which massively tilted James), and the big winners from #SCOOP2017. Jason Mercier joins the boys to discuss his trip to Toronto to play and stream the $25k High Roller. He also talks about the prospect of becoming a dad, and offers some interesting insights into Jason Somerville’s daily routine and repetitive diet! In ‘Adventures in Online Poker’, Matt reveals his new role as a PokerSchoolOnline tutor, and recaps the first edition of ‘Monday Nights with Matt’ on Twitch.

Told from the perspective of a cranky British dad (Hartigan) and an undateable American bachelor (Stapes), Poker in the Ears is a mostly uncensored take on the world of professional poker. The hosts also regularly call in favours, in the form of guest spots from their big-shot celebrity poker-playing friends.

James, Joe and Matt are back from their Easter break, and kick off the podcast with a few of your tweets, before launching into their #PSCMacau recap (just because they didn’t go to Macau doesn’t mean the boys are ignoring the event). They’re joined by Elliot Smith, who took down the PokerStars Championship Main Event, after an epic, TEN-HOUR heads-up battle! James, Joe and Matt also review the new Netflix movie ‘Win It All’, and reach the conclusion that they might be the only people in the poker community who actually like it (please feel free to share your thoughts: #PokerInTheEars). Finally, Luke Payne is tested on his knowledge of the original ‘RoboCop’ as he competes for a $27 ticket and an ‘Everyone Loves a Chop Pot’ hoodie in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

All three hosts are in London this week, and Joe is considering playing the PokerStars MEGASTACK at The Hippodrome. There’s plenty of poker news to discuss, with updates from #PSCMacau and the Sunday Million 11th Anniversary. The boys also have an exclusive: an interview with an insider who was on THAT boat with Bill Perkins, Jeff Gross and the Staples brothers. He’s promised to dish the dirt and reveal some hot gossip from behind-the-scenes (obviously, we’re protecting our source, and respecting the anonymity of our #StreamBoat ‘Deep Throat’). James, Joe and Matt finally close the book on #PSCPanama, as they speak to Kenny Smaron – the winner of last month’s PokerStars Championship Main Event. And Johnathon Gallagher from the UK goes fishing for prizes in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #PokerInTheEars

James, Joe and Matt are back from Panama City. They look back at their trip to #PSCPanama, with some behind-the-scenes stories from the #PokerStarsTV live stream, and some anecdotes from the journey home, including James’s (literal and metaphorical) meltdown at Panama Airport. There’s a brief look at the #SCOOP2017 schedule (more info on the PokerStarsBlog.com), and Jason Somerville makes a cameo appearance on the podcast, as Ky Waddell from Canada proves her knowledge of all things JCarver in this week’s edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #PokerInTheEars

It may sound like it, but this episode of #PokerInTheEars was NOT recorded on a TDK C90 cassette (without Dolby NR). It’s the audio version of the video podcast from Panama City (that first aired on PokerStars.tv) and the less-than-amazing quality is due to technical issues on site. James, Joe and Matt interview MMA legend Tito Ortiz about his deep run in the #PSCPanama Main Event; Matt re-lives the highs and lows of his trip to #PSFRozvadov and his 79 hours of live streaming; and Andres Korn from Argentina challenges Joe to a game of World Cup trivia in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

James, Joe and Matt kick off the podcast with some ‘Adventures in Online Poker’, as they re-live the highs and lows of last week’s #PokerStarsTV Home Game. They boys have got two live events on the horizon, and two live streams to preview, with Matt heading to #PSFRozvadov and the entire team going to #PSCPanama. Listen out for key dates and broadcast times, plus an interview with ElkY, who takes a short break from a €100/€100 cash game at King’s Casino to talk about the Rozvadov Festival. There’s a summary of the Top 5 WTF Moments (now available to watch at PokerStars.tv), and ‘Superfan vs Stapes’ features Andrew Pieper from Las Vegas, questions about ‘Rocky’, and one of the best original jokes Joe has EVER come up with on ANY show. #PokerInTheEars

Joe is an American Poker Award winner! And he wants everyone to know it. James and Matt help him celebrate his success, as they run though the highlights of last week’s ceremony in Los Angeles. Cate Hall was named GPI Female Player of the Year, and delivered a thought-provoking acceptance speech. She’s the guest on this week’s podcast, discussing her controversial comments and reviewing her year on the live poker circuit. There’s a new Top 5 (Table Nightmares) now available to watch at PokerStars.tv, so the boys pour over the hands and characters in this countdown.

James, the die-hard NFL fan, didn’t watch Super Bowl LI. But Joe did, and the result has left him feeling a little low. Luckily, he’s got the banging beats of ‘Space Monkey’ to cheer himself up. Jaime Staples from Team PokerStars Pro Online is this week’s guest, talking about his American Poker Award nomination, his victory in the recent ‘TwitchStars’ tournament at #PSCBahamas, and his plans for ‘Streamboat 2017’! James has details of the forthcoming #PokerStarsTV Home Game, including the all-important date. And one of the greatest poker movies of all time is the subject of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’, as Thomas Shevlin from Scotland faces off against Joe in a game of ‘Rounders’ trivia. #PokerInTheEars

After entertaining themselves with a brief burst of ‘Space Monkey’ (the thumping dance track that’s taking the US by storm), James and Joe delve into the American Poker Awards, and Joe’s unsuccessful campaign to secure a nomination for #KidPoker. But there’s still cause for celebration, as Joe is up for Media Person of the Year! There’s a look back at the hugely successful #PSFLondon. Neither of the boys could make it to The Hippodrome, so they enlist the help of Liv Boeree to review the event. Liv talks about her deep runs in the High Roller and Main Event, and her recent success in the #TCOOP. The second guest on this week’s podcast is Gary Davis, co-director of #KidPoker and the creative powerhouse behind much of #PokerStarsTV’s output. Gary reflects on his early career as an editor, reveals how he (literally) stumbled into televised poker, and is tested on his knowledge of library music in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #PokerInTheEars

James and Joe were hoping to be joined by Liv Boeree on this week’s podcast, but she rather inconveniently made a deep run in the £2k High Roller at the PokerStars Festival London, so, instead, they take a look at the categories in this year’s American Poker Awards. Joe is a member of the nominating panel, and is able to reveal some of the names on the shortlist. He also appeals for YOUR help in deciding who to vote for! As promised on the last episode, the boys review some of the TV shows and movies they’ve watched recently, including ‘Westworld’ and ‘The Night Of’, and James reveals he “quite enjoyed” an atrocious film that practically everyone else in the world hated. Finally, Poland is the subject of this week’s ‘Superfan vs Stapes’ contest, as Sebastian Mojko competes for a #PSCPanama satellite ticket and a hoodie. #PokerInTheEars

James and Joe look back at the first ever PokerStars Championship in the Bahamas. The boys reveal what happened at Atlantis after the final card was dealt (spoiler alert: many of Joe’s stories involve Tinder), and Matt tells the tale of ‘The Hulk, the Bomb and the Corpse’! Christian Harder is this week’s guest, discussing his #PSCBahamas victory and the history of his relationship with runner-up Cliff Josephy. He’s also forced to play one of the stupidest games every created by man. Or Stapes. And #PokerStarsTV viewer Christian Obermaier takes on Joe in a game of ‘Scrubs’ trivia in this week’s ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #PokerInTheEars

James, Joe and Matt are in the Bahamas for the first ever PokerStars Championship, mixing with celebs like Kevin Hart and Aaron Paul. In this audio version of the podcast first broadcast on #PokerStarsTV, there’s a quick flashback to the last ever #EPT in Prague, specifically everyone’s reaction to the emotional closing video and the equally emotional after-party. Joe asks for help with a social media dilemma, while James and Matt tell tales from their flight from London to Nassau. Plus, there’s a brief review of ‘Rogue One’, although Joe is only able to critique the first half of the movie, as he chose sex over ‘Star Wars’! Finally, Spin & Go qualifier Richard Freemantle talks about his Bahamas experience, and demonstrates his knowledge of Monty Python movies in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #PokerInTheEars

This is the audio version of the show first broadcast on PokerStars.tv, and is the final episode of the podcast in its current incarnation. James and Joe to reveal what #EPTNotLive will be called in 2017, and award prizes to the listeners who helped come up with the new name. The boys also talk about their antics in Prague, and re-live some of their favourite moments from 13 seasons of the European Poker Tour. Finally, Huw Rees, a member of the #EPTLive graphics team, competes against Joe in a Tom Hanks-themed edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. We’re back in mid-January with the rebooted/rebranded podcast.

James and Joe as they look ahead to the last ever #EPTLive from the last ever #EPT in Prague.

After a two week break, you’d think the boys would be refreshed, reinvigorated and re-energised. But no. James is coming down with the lurgy, and Joe is recovering from hosting an epic 15-hour live stream and facing the prospect of hosting ANOTHER epic 15-hour live stream! He’s in Vegas for the GPL play-offs and final, and gives an insight into the closing chapter of the inaugural season of the Global Poker League. There’s a bit of Thanksgiving and movie chat, before the guys break down the two most recent #EPT TV shows (both available to watch at PokerStars.tv): The Best of the EPT Episode 3 and the EPT 13 Barcelona Super High Roller. Finally, John Lindley from California aims to prove he knows more about ‘The Princess Bride’ than Joe in this week’s edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #EPTNotLive

They’re joined by PCA 2010 finalist Ryan D’Angelo, whose infamous and hilarious rant at Ben Zamani is featured in the show. Away from the small screen, there’s an update on the number of qualifiers who’ve won PokerStars Championship packages courtesy of the Bahamas Spin & Go promotion (which continues until 4th December).

Joe is not quite himself this week, as he recovers from the shocking result of the US Presidential election. But he soon gets down to business, telling James about his recent gig hosting Daniel Negreanu’s charity poker tournament in Las Vegas. The boys also discuss the latest TV show: The Best of the EPT Episode 1 (now available to watch at PokerStars.tv). They’re joined by Jake Cody, who features in the top 40 countdown, to look back at 12 seasons of the European Poker Tour. There’s a summary of how you can Spin & Go to the Bahamas, and James reveals his current obsession with Beat The Clock tournaments. Finally, Joe’s former flatmate Jesse Abramowitz narrates a disturbing late-night tale, and demonstrates his knowledge of Uber fares in this week’s edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #EPTNotLive

James and Joe, as they recount tales from the last few days of #EPTLive in Malta, including dramatic events at the airport that led to both Matt and Joe becoming foreign correspondents for a variety of media outlets. Matt also reveals how he angered his fellow passengers on the fight home, and tells the story of how he was once accidentally introduced on stage as Arnold Schwarzenegger. There’s a review of the two most recent TV shows: the #EPT 12 Grand Final Super High Roller and Main Event final tables (both now available to watch at PokerStars.tv). And there’s PokerStars goodies on the line, as Classic Rock enthusiast Jeffrey Anbinder takes on Joe in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #EPTNotLive

This is the audio version of the video podcast originally broadcast on #EPTLive, so apologies for the plethora of visual references. James and Joe at EPT Malta, mid-way through the Main Event. The boys reveal the winners of the various competitions from last week’s show, Matt tells an amusing tale from one of his recent WCOOP Twitch streams, and Joe explains how he managed to mess up yet another winner’s presentation. There’s an in-depth interview with Tournament Director Toby Stone, and the first (and probably last ever) edition of ‘The Stone Bubble’. And that’s not the only quiz, as Andrew Milto from Maryland does his best to out-smart Joe at Adam Carolla trivia in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #EPTNotLive

It’s a packed podcast this week, with prizes galore. James and Joe are giving away satellite tickets for the first ever PokerStars Championship in the Bahamas. There’s a couple of competitions, one of them involving pyjamas! Chris Moneymaker joins the boys to talk about his Hall of Fame nomination, #NJCOOP and the upcoming PokerStars Festival in New Jersey. And, as has become tradition, he’s forced to play a round of ‘Is That Your Real Name?’ James discusses his accidental photo-bombing incident at the Quintessentially Foundation Poker Night, there’s a recap of the EPT 12 Dublin Main Event final table highlights show (now available to watch at PokerStars.tv), and a preview of EPT 13 Malta, including a rundown of the freerolls and Bounty Bonus tournaments available to play during the seven days of streaming on #EPTLive.

Joe starts the podcast with one of the most disgusting anecdotes ever told on #EPTNotLive (which is saying something). Then, he and James preview the next slate of #EPT TV shows due to air on Channel 4 (UK & Ireland) and PokerStars.tv (rest of the world). Igor Kurganov features in one of those episodes – the EPT 12 Grand Final Super High Roller final table – and is this week’s special guest.

Joe’s in Amsterdam, celebrating his 43rd birthday. But he’s taken time out from partying for this week’s podcast. He and James discuss poker news – including the recently announced partnership between PokerStars and the GPL. The boys also catch up with Kevin Martin from Team Online to talk bromance, TwitchCon, and the trials and tribulations of being a DJ on a Canadian rock station. There’s a recap of the EPT Malta Spin & Go promotion, plus an important advisory regarding satellites for January’s event in the Bahamas (clue: it’s not called the PCA anymore). And Gabe Nagy tests his knowledge of the Ryan Reynolds movie ‘Van Wilder’ in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #EPTNotLive

The World Championship of Online Poker is finally over. James and Joe recap the Main Event with Celina Lin, who covered the final table live on the PokerStars Twitch channel. As well as talking WCOOP, Celina relives an unfortunate encounter with a monkey in Hong Kong and describes the devastating effects of exploding glass tea pots. There’s a summary of the recently announced revisions to the recently confirmed changes to the European Poker Tour payout structure (it’s less confusing than it sounds), plus details of the forthcoming EPT Malta Spin & Go promotion.

Joe is reasonably happy with some of this week’s suggestions for new podcast names, but he’s unhappy with James’s defiant, unapologetic stance on “spoiling” ‘Narcos’. Anyway, there’s some Poker Hall of Fame gossip, another tale from the infamous PokerStars toilets, plus WCOOP news and a preview of the Main Event. There’s also an interview with Felix Schneiders from Team PokerStars Pro Online, who’s been analysing many of the WCOOP final table replays on Twitch. Plus, Freddy Cruz from Florida makes his long-awaited appearance on the podcast, aiming to out-wit Joe in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. We’re still taking Superfan applications, by the way.

James and Joe continue to wade through suggestions for new names for the podcast, and they discuss the names on this year’s shortlist for the Poker Hall of Fame. Joe is one of 20 “distinguished” members of the poker media who help decide who gets inducted. But it’s the World Championship of Online Poker that’s the primary focus of this week’s show. The boys review final table replays and the hugely successful Twitch stream of the Super High Roller, hosted by Jason Mercier and Jason Somerville. They also speak to the man who chopped the WCOOP SHR for more than $1m, Fedor Holz. Yep, another week, another seven-figure score for CrownUpGuy (FYI: this interview was conducted a few days before Fedor’s most recent result). Finally, Sean McCarthy from the UK demonstrates his knowledge of Kevin Smith movies in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #EPTNotLive

James and Joe present the #SCOOP2021 preview show, as they look ahead to three-and-a-half weeks of the Spring Championship of Online Poker, and 20 streams on the PokerStars Twitch and YouTube channels, including live cards-up coverage of the $25k Super High Roller and the $10k PLO and No Limit Hold’em Main Events. They’re joined by someone who’s going to be playing most tournaments on the schedule: British pro Andy ‘BowieEffect’ Wilson. Andy talks about discovering online poker on Twitch, his first ever win (wearing a David Bowie T-shirt), and the work he puts in between sessions to remain competitive at the higher stakes. Finally, after ‘Running AMOQ’, the boys give Owain Jones from Wales the chance to win a #SundayMillion ticket and some Stars swag in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. The topic of the quiz? ‘From Dusk Til Dawn’.

A lot of poker’s been played in the last seven days, so there’s plenty to discuss on this week’s show. Both James and Joe took part in the #CommentatorShowdown (streamed live last week, and now available to watch on the PokerStars YouTube channel), and share their favourite moments and a few behind-the-scenes anecdotes. Meanwhile, Joe entered a live (!) poker tournament in LA, so expect a couple of hand histories / bad beat stories. But, more importantly, the #SundayMillion 15th Anniversary played to its conclusion on Tuesday. The guys streamed the action live, and saw Vanessa ‘Niffller’ Kade best a field of nearly 70,000 to win more than $1.5m. She joins James and Joe to celebrate her success, and talk about the experience of crushing one of the biggest online MTTs of all time, and the amazing response from the poker community following her victory. The boys also find themselves ‘Running AMOQ’ again, and Isaac Kiener from the USA picks the band Phish as his specialist subject in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

Joe is back from a live poker series in San Diego.

The guys also talk about online poker in the USA, as they’re joined by the newest member of Team PokerStars Pro, Michigan-based streamer David Kaye.

After considering some of your (mostly awful) suggestions for a new name for the podcast, James and Joe launch into a review of ‘Duel’: the new web series featuring heads-up matches between the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar Jr, Aaron Paul and John Boyega. The boys also speak to the winner of the biggest European Poker Tour Main Event in history, Sebastian Malec. The young Polish student talks about his journey from chess prodigy to poker fan to EPT champion. There’s a preview of upcoming WCOOP events and Twitch streams, and Robin Neal from Canada competes for a Step C ticket and a T-shirt in a baseball-themed edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #EPTNotLive

This week, James and Joe discuss ‘Poker Face’. Not the song by Lady Gaga. Not the upcoming TV series created by Rian Johnson. But the 2022 film, co-written by, directed by and starring Russell Crowe. Yes, it’s a Poker Movie Monday (on a Wednesday, released on a Thursday) with special guest reviewer Jon ‘PearlJammer’ Turner, an online legend and cinema aficionado. The guys also recap the most recent #SundayMillion, get the thoughts of the #EPT tournament staff on Joe’s “accidental angle-shoot,” and give Pennsylvania-based listener Barry Ingram the chance to win some prizes in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

It’s the last episode of the year, and there’s lots to discuss. With #EPTPrague getting underway, the guys look ahead to the final European Poker Tour stop of 2022 and their five days of live coverage of the Main Event on the PokerStars Twitch and YouTube channels (14th – 18th December). They also speak to EPT legend Steve O’Dwyer: a former champion and Super High Roller crusher, who’s just arrived in Prague and is thrilled to learn that he no longer has to #EmbraceTheSqueak! Meanwhile, Joe recaps his trip to Thunder Valley which resulted in a couple of deep runs and a big score on the slots, and James talks about hosting the recent Oracle Red Bull Racing x PokerStars charity poker tournament. Finally, Kaan Becer from Vancouver is this week’s ‘Superfan vs Stapes’ contestant, answering questions about the infamous ‘Game of Thrones’ finale. #PITE returns in 2023.

In the first episode of 2021, Joe talks openly and honestly about the ongoing issues with his voice and his need for surgery – and his demand that people don’t send him messages of sympathy! On a more positive note, he reveals that he’s been running well in box breaks (and explains what a “box break” is for James’s benefit). The primary focus of this week’s podcast is the #BlowoutSeries, as the boys look back at their series of live streams covering the High Rollers and Big Blowouts. They talk to Brian ‘True Geordie’ Davis, the YouTube star who played and streamed a few tournaments during the series. Having been coached by Charlie Carrel, the former deep sea diver discusses shooting a short poker film (‘The Showdown’) and reveals his plan to create more Hold’em content in the coming months. Finally, #PokerInTheEars listener Michael Peters picks 90s Grunge as his specialist subject in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. Please don’t forget to comment, like and subscribe.

An exciting show with an incredible opportunity. In their first podcast of 2023, James and Joe catch up with the ‘Platinum Five’: the first players to qualify for the forthcoming #PSPC. Clement, Adrian, Christoph, Danielle and Daryl came to Barcelona in August 2019 to take part in the ‘Chase Your Dream’ promotion. Each of them received a #PlatinumPass; all of them have been waiting three-and-a-half years for the PokerStars Players No Limit Hold’em Championship. And from the first winners…to the last. The guys reveal how YOU could get your hands on the final Platinum Pass before the Bahamas. Yes, there’s an exclusive #PITE contest awarding a $30k PSPC package. Terms and conditions apply.

The boys present their season finale: the last #PokerInTheEars podcast of 2019. Joe’s had a busy week, with stand-up shows and poker commentary gigs in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. One of those assignments was hosting a ‘Live at the Bike’s esports special alongside Adam ‘Roothlus’ Levy. Adam is this week’s guest, and talks about transitioning away from professional poker to run his own business, and whether he’ll be best-remembered for calling Phil Hellmuth’s raise with queen-ten or dropping a poker chip in a glass of water at the PCA! James and Joe read a few of your reviews and comments (please keep ‘em coming), and Jodieann Winter from the UK flies the flag for PokerStars VR, as she tries to win an #EPTPrague satellite ticket in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

In the last few days, Joe has found himself watching boxing, and James has spent too much money on a video game he can’t/doesn’t want to play. But this week’s episode mainly focuses on the poker controversy “du jour,” as Daniel Negreanu is named World Series Player of the Year, only to discover a couple of days later that a clerical error has been made and he’s not actually the winner. In the latest in a series of appearances on poker podcasts (!), Daniel gives his take on the whole mess and defends himself against accusations of impropriety. There’s also a recap of the #PokerStarsTV live stream from Moneymaker’s ‘Road to PSPC’ at Aspers in London, and, with an #EPTPrague satellite ticket up for grabs, Filip Ferm from Sweden chooses ‘Office Space’ as his specialist subject in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

Crucially, they detail how many #PlatinumPasses have been awarded so far and how/where they can be won. They talk Mystery Chests and Mega Paths, and chat to a couple of recent #PSPC qualifiers: online pro Mike McGee from Scotland and student and streamer Tom Parsons from Northern Ireland.

It’s a three-way, as Matt joins James and Joe for the second consecutive week. The boys talk about the closing stages of the record-breaking EPT 13 Barcelona festival and their subsequent journeys home. There’s a recap of the Main Event final table, including a dramatic re-creation of the epic final hand, plus behind-the-scenes stories involving handshakes (one unwelcome, the other avoided). Joe talks about meeting some Superfans at a recent comedy gig in London, but, sadly, there’s no ‘Superfan vs Stapes’ this week, due to the indisposition of a long-time listener. Finally, some of your suggestions for a new name for the podcast are considered, and mostly rejected. But please keep them coming (there’s an incentive!), along with your Superfan applications. #EPTNotLive

James, Joe and Matt are in Barcelona for a record-breaking EPT festival. It also happens to be one of the last EPTs EVER! The boys discuss how the tour is changing in 2017, and are joined by the HOLPOPE, Neil Johnson, to talk about the imminent launch of the PokerStars Championship. There’s also some #StarsFun, as Joe puts former rugby star and ‘Shark Cage’ runner-up Mike Tindall through his paces in a game of ‘Race Situations’. Plus, Luca Vivaldi, one of the most senior and popular members of the EPT tournament staff, shows off his ‘Game of Thrones’ knowledge in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. (This is the audio version of #EPTNotLive originally shown on the #EPTLive webcast.)

It’s the Barcelona Preview Show! James and Joe look ahead to the first leg of EPT 13, detailing the big tournaments taking place, the events being streamed live on PokerStars.tv, the #EPTLive freerolls running during the festival, and the changes being made to the EPT payout structure. Liv Boeree joins the boys live from Munich Airport (!), and offers her thoughts on the payout change. She also talks about what she’ll be playing and getting up to while in Barcelona, and explains why she isn’t able to enter the Main Event this year. Finally, snooker enthusiast Andy Harper tries to prove that he’s an ever bigger Phil Laak fanboy than Joe in this week’s edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #EPTNotLive

With only a week to go until the start of the new EPT season, the podcast is back! James and Joe talk about what they’ve been up to over the summer, and continue their painful row about Twitter verification that’s been running since EPT Dublin in February. There’s also a summary of what’s happened in the poker world during the last six weeks, including the WSOP Main Event. Griffin Benger joins the boys to talk about making the November Nine (or October Octet +1) and his infamous run in with EPT fan favourite/villain William Kassouf. Finally, Zach Whigham from Georgia is tested on his knowledge of the US version of The Office in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. Want to compete on the show? Please let us know. #EPTNotLive

In their last podcast before their six-week summer break, James and Joe pay tribute to an #EPTLive fan who recently passed away, and celebrate Jason Mercier’s continued success at the World Series of Poker. Lex Veldhuis joins the boys to talk about the infamous Mercier/Selbst bracelet bet, his Omaha streams on Twitch, and his love/hate relationship with tournaments. Joe recaps some of his recent Vegas shenanigans, which include passing out after a pool party and playing a lot of poker – some of it for charity, and some of it in a glass box. Finally, budding poker commentator James Day gets some tips from the “pros” and competes for prizes in a Survivor-themed edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #EPTNotLive returns on Thursday 11th August 2016.

It’s finally happened. A well-known poker player has a major beef with Joe and has told him how much he DOESN’T appreciate his comedic commentary (it’s fair to say the confrontation was a tad awkward). Fortunately, it’s all rainbows and unicorns for the rest of the podcast, as Joe talks about hanging out with some of poker’s finest at a 70s-themed birthday bash in Las Vegas. Maria Ho was also at the party, and she’s the guest on this week’s show, finding time between World Series of Poker events to talk to the boys and play a silly game. Plus, poker writer Robbie Strazinsky competes for a tournament ticket and a T-shirt in a WSOP-themed edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #EPTNotLive

He’s also been losing hundreds of dollars at the tables and has managed to get into a ‘Social Media Beef’ with Ludovic Geilich. Meanwhile, James has been playing some poker at The Vic in London, and talks about being bluffed in a micro-stakes cash game and butchering a hand in a tournament. There’s a round-up of PokerStars live events around the world (#PlayOnPokerStars), and Scott Adamson, a Canadian living in China, shows off his knowledge of the ‘Hangover’ movies in this week’s edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #EPTNotLive

To celebrate the launch of the feature-length documentary ‘KidPoker’ on Netflix (in the UK & Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand), James and Joe host a special DNegs-themed episode of the podcast, featuring special guest star Daniel Negreanu. In an extended interview, Daniel talks about the long-awaited release of the film, his recent trip to Romania, the Super High Roller Bowl, the WSOP, the ‘Rocky’ franchise, ‘Game of Thrones’ and American politics. And, just in case you don’t think that’s enough Negreanu for one show, “The Life of Daniel” is the specialist subject in this week’s edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’, as Colm Mc Cumiskey from Ireland takes on Joe in a quest for fortune and glory. #EPTNotLive

Joe describes a Hollywood night out, and an encounter with celebrity poker fan Aaron Paul, while James reveals his annoyance with classic cars. After running through some of the results from #SCOOP, and re-enacting Jason Mercier’s Twitter spat with Doug Polk, the boys talk about the #EPT 12 Dublin High Roller final table (now available to watch at PokerStars.tv). Charlie Carrel, who finished third in that event, is this week’s guest. He talks about some of the key hands from the tournament, and receives an unfair amount of abuse for his unique mode of attire. Plus, Michael Zajac from Canada competes against Joe in a San Francisco 49ers-themed edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #EPTNotLive

This week’s podcast features another reading from ‘The Book of Joe’. Also back by popular demand, a tale of degeneracy from the Sandy archives. James and Joe break down the #PCA2016 Main Event final table TV show, featuring a host of great players and a cute dog (watch it now at PokerStars.tv). And Joe talks about playing Hold'em by the rules alongside some fellow poker personalities in a Los Angeles home game. There’s a look ahead to the #EPT 13 Barcelona festival. And it’s double trouble in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’, as Chris Spirito from Rhode Island and Kagiso Mabusela from Johannesburg showcase their knowledge of ‘Arrested Development’.

James and Joe are back from Monaco. They’re exhausted, but still in one piece. Just about. There’s a recap of the EPT 12 Grand Final, including the lowdown on what happened when the lights went out on #EPTLive. Joe tells a bizarre tale involving a stand-up gig, a bunch of flowers, a mysterious note and a phone call (to be continued in the next episode of #EPTNotLive). The #PCA2016 TV shows are now airing, so Bryn Kenney joins the boys to discuss the $100k Super High Roller final table. James and Joe ask him about the OTHER Kenny, and find out if @BrynKenneyWorld is the real deal or a parody account. Plus, find out if Joe Lipscomb, aka: Skuff, knows more about the EPT sketches than the man who wrote them in this week’s edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

James and Joe an “on tour” edition of #EPTNotLive. The three are in Monaco for the EPT 12 Grand Final. After discussing a few personal conflicts, including a life or death struggle with a hornet, they recap the first few days of cards-up action on #EPTLive. Tournament Director Thomas Lamatsch makes a special appearance on the show, accompanied by James’s worst nightmare. The other guest on the podcast is Isabel Boyle, the 72-year-old grandmother who qualified for the EPT in a €10 Spin & Go. She’s tested on her knowledge of 1950s music in this week’s edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. The boys run through some of the key winners at the European Poker Awards, and assess Joe’s performance as host. Plus, there’s a brief (spoiler-free) review of ‘Captain America: Civil War’.

It’s the Monaco 2016 Preview Show! James and Joe look ahead to this year’s EPT Grand Final, with a full rundown of the events #EPTLive will be streaming (with hole cards) from Saturday 30th April to Friday 6th May. Plus, there’s a summary of #StarsFun activities planned for Monaco, some of which may appear in the next episode of #EPTNotLive. Niall Farrell joins the boys to talk about his EPT victory, as the Malta final table highlights show premieres on PokerStars.tv (channel4.com/poker in the UK and Ireland). And Las Vegas is the theme of this week’s edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’, with Christopher Bean going heads-up against Joe.

James and Joe kick things off with tweets about last week’s podcast, including positive reaction to the news that #EPTLive is going cards-up in Monaco. EPT 12 has started airing on TV, so the boys review the season premiere: the Barcelona Main Event Final Table. They’re joined by runner-up Steve Warburton to discuss the show. Steve is also subjected to one of the most torturous trivia games ever created by (a hairy) man. Joe decides to campaign for numerous nominees in this year’s European Poker Awards with a series of ‘For Your Consideration’ ads. And Michael Bumblis from LA tries to outsmart a fellow ‘Seinfeld’ obsessive in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #EPTNotLive

After reading a few random tweets, and working their way through some suggestions for grandparent names for Joe’s mum and dad, the boys “Activate the HOLPOPE!” Neil Johnson is on the show to discuss a BIG change to #EPTLive in Monaco (the interview/announcement starts at around the 15-minute mark). James and Joe recap their weekend playing the UKIPT London Cup at the Hippodrome, with some fun stories and interesting hand histories, and Joe talks about his deep run in a tournament on PokerStars NJ in a genuine edition of ‘Adventures in Online Poker’. There’s a quick review of the last EPT 11 Grand Final TV show. And Zuly Bonilla from NYC competes for some “Chop Pot” goodies in a highbrow edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #EPTNotLive

James is back from holiday and Joe is back in the UK, ahead of the UKIPT London Cup. There’s a lot of tweets for the boys to reply to, before they review the most recent episodes of the EPT 11 Grand Final. They’re joined (finally!) by Ludovic Geilich, who made a deep run in last year’s tournament. He breaks down a number of key hands featured in the TV shows. James and Joe talk about the nominations for the European Poker Awards, having both “served” as members of the nominating panel. And the podcast’s resident video games, testing Sean Trembath from Saskatoon on his knowledge of SNES in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #EPTNotLive

Joe continues to enjoy the LA lifestyle, although he’s starting to feel the pinch (as revealed in an impromptu game of ‘How Much Does It Cost?’). Jason Mercier joins the boys to talk about his deep run in last year’s EPT Grand Final – as documented in the latest TV episode – and his experience of playing on PokerStars in New Jersey. James is shocked (in a good way) at how many people have qualified for Monaco via Spin & Gos. Joe has some great stories about Antonio Esfandiari and Phil Hellmuth from a recent TV shoot in Las Vegas. And, after listening to this week’s edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’, you’ll probably conclude that Sam Worger from Sheffield regrets choosing ‘Friends’ as his specialist subject! James and Joe are taking a short Easter break. The next episode of #EPTNotLive will be released on Thursday 7th April 2016.

Joe has a new home in Los Angeles, and is desperate to sub-let his apartment in Jersey City. Talking of New Jersey, Lee Jones makes his first ever appearance on #EPTNotLive to discuss the imminent launch of PokerStars in the Garden State. The boys also talk to Jason Somerville, who’s in NJ for a month of Twitching. And there’s more Twitch chat, the podcast to relive the highs (flying nuts) and lows (sound issues) of the recent #EPTLive Home Game. In the ‘TV Recap’, James and Joe talk about the third episode of the EPT 11 Grand Final, and the perils of shooting at sea. Plus, Aiden Dunne from Calgary competes for a Step C ticket and a T-shirt in a slightly different version of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

Joe Stapleton is in the closet. Literally. He whispers his way through the show, as he broadcasts from his temporary “home” in Los Angeles. The boys kick things off with a major Social Media Beef, before breaking down the first two episodes of the EPT 11 Grand Final (available to watch at pokerstars.tv). These TV shows feature a random Craig David gag, and showcase the talents of Ole Schemion, Maria Ho and Ludovic Geilich – who was booked to appear as the guest on this week’s podcast, but never showed up. There’s a reminder of the Club ID and Invitation Code for the #EPTLive Home Game Club, plus a preview of the UKIPT London festival, before Lucas Summers demonstrates his knowledge of ‘Back to the Future’ in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #EPTNotLive

Although, in the run-up to this week's recording, Stapes went missing, and Matt was on stand-by to play the role of Uncle Daddy! Luckily, Hartigan’s journalistic skills saved the day. After kicking things off with a few post-Dublin anecdotes - including James’s near–death experience and an update on Matt’s mouth - Joe recalls the glamour and glitz of the American Poker Awards and talks about his work as a “seat filler” during the ceremony. There are details of the forthcoming #EPTLive Home Game, including the all-important Club ID and Invitation Code. Plus, find out if Teun van Dijk from The Netherlands is a Muggle or a Wizard in a Harry Potter-themed edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. And the show concludes with the boys’ (delayed) review of ‘Deadpool’. #EPTNotLive

James, Joe and Matt are back on location, and bring you some tidbits from their trip to Dublin. There’s also a leftover anecdote from the PCA involving Matt’s mouth, while Joe’s accidental use of “only” instead of “mostly” sparks one of the most ridiculously over-the-top spats in #EPTNotLive history. This podcast also features some excerpts from the ‘Stapleton Sex Tape’, Joe’s ‘Adventures in Online Poker’, and details of the first ever EPT Live Home Game on Thursday 10th March. Plus, Feargal Moore, aka: ‘The Bananas Guy’, competes in a Tarantino-themed edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. (This is the audio version of the show that first aired on #EPTLive from Dublin.)

It’s the EPT Dublin Preview Show! Ahead of their trip to the Irish capital for seven days of live streaming on PokerStars.tv, James and Joe look ahead to the latest European Poker Tour festival. They’re joined by Max Silver, a Dublin resident who won the UKIPT Main Event there in 2010. This week’s episode also features a couple of rants from James (one of them directed at Daniel Negreanu) and the sorry tale of how Joe’s late-night “antics” have resulted in a major dispute with his next door neighbour. It’s fair to say that ‘Superfan vs Stapes’ doesn’t go according to plan. But, thanks to the reluctant participation of Paul the TV producer, Joe is able to compete in a game of ‘Lord of the Rings’ trivia. #EPTNotLive

James and Joe haven’t been anywhere, and their TV shows aren’t currently on the air, but they still have plenty to talk about. There was a great response to last week’s podcast, so James empties the Social Media Mailbox, before Randy Lew (aka: Nanonoko) joins the boys from Melbourne to discuss the Aussie Millions. Randy worked alongside Jason Somerville on the insanely popular Twitch stream from the event, and offers his thoughts on whether #EPTLive should be cards up or cards down. There’s a rundown of the #StarsFun activities planned for EPT Dublin, while Joe treats us to some ‘Too Hot for TV’ behind-the-scenes chat from the PCA 2016 Invitational. And Javier from Mexico demonstrates how much he knows about ‘Breaking Bad’ in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. Want to appear on the show?

Once again, Joe is Stateside and James is in London. The boys discuss the nominees for the 2016 American Poker Awards (Joe is up for Presenter of the Year), and over-analyse some of the categories and selections. After a humorous take on the guy who played poker at his own funeral, Joe recaps his recent stand-up gig in New Jersey. Among the invited guests was 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Greg Merson. He’s also the guest on this week’s podcast: reviewing Joe’s comedy show, talking about being a poker ambassador, and taking part in one of the most random quizzes ever featured on the show. Finally, Sean McCaffrey from Northern Ireland aims to win a Step C ticket and a T-shirt by identifying ‘Game of Thrones’ quotations in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #EPTNotLive

For the third show in a row, James and Joe. There’s a look back at PCA 2016, including tales of things that happened after the cameras stopped rolling, and incidents that occurred during the flight home. The guys break down the PCA Invitational, which saw Joe make his televised poker debut – as a player. And Joe and Matt talk about seeing the Daniel Negreanu documentary ‘KidPoker’ for the first time. The guys also look ahead to the next EPT festival in Dublin, and the forthcoming UKIPT Series event in London. In ‘Superfan vs Stapes’, Craig Towse tries to prove he knows more than Joe about the film ‘Aliens’. And there’s more movie chat at the end of the show, with a spoiler-filled review of ‘Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens’. #EPTNotLive

The boys are on location again. James, Joe and Matt bring you (nearly) an hour of stuff and nonsense from PCA 2016. Joe’s ever-changing relationship status takes up a decent chunk of the show, as he tells tales from his Christmas travels. He also shares a fair few Social Media beefs. James explains why the inaugural Superfan Home Game left him with a headache, and Matt reveals why his flight to Nassau was so traumatic. There’s a review of the final episode of ‘Shark Cage’ (finally!), and Asif Warris, the so-called Poker Tourist, competes in a special Bahamas-themed edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #EPTNotLive

This is the second podcast the boys have recorded on location. Please note: this is the audio-only version, so there might be one or two visual references that don’t make any sense. Sorry about that. You really should have watched the video version on the live stream. It was really good. Anyway, James and Joe Christmas-themed edition of the show. There’s more stuff and nonsense from the media tournament, plus anecdotes from a recent pub poker league game. Joe unveils a new feature called ‘Seat Open’, where viewers/listeners get the chance to experience dinner with the EPT team. And the highlight of the show is a special appearance from Twitch superstar Jaime Staples, who’s forced to compete against Joe in this week’s edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. Our next podcast will be recorded at the PCA in early January. Until then, have a great Christmas and New Year. #EPTNotLive

It’s the pre-Prague preview podcast, and the penultimate programme of the year. Please note: this show features the password to the EPT Live freeroll on 17th December 2015. You can also hear James and Joe re-living the highlights of this year’s PokerStars Christmas Party and recent staff poker tournament in London. They also recap the first half of the ‘Shark Cage’ final table (available to watch at YouTube.com/PokerStars). In ‘Adventures in Online Poker’, Joe talks about failing to collect bounties while attracting abuse from his opponents. And John Jacobs from Gibraltar dodges planes and demonstrates his knowledge of WWE in the latest edition of ‘Superfan vs Stapes’.

After a two-week hiatus, the boys have a lot to get through. Joe regales James with tales from his Thanksgiving dinner, including some entertaining (if disturbing) anecdotes about his ancestors. Meanwhile, James recaps his trip to Toronto for the world premiere of the Daniel Negreanu documentary, 'KidPoker', and tries to justify accepting an upgrade on the flight out, while his boss was left to sit at the back of the plane. There are two 'Shark Cage' episodes to talk about, with Heat 6 now in the books. Vanessa Selbst joins James and James to analyse a couple of key hands she played in that heat. And, after some EPT Prague and PokerStars Christmas Festival chat, Daniel Watters displays his knowledge of the 1963 movie 'The Great Escape' in 'Superfan vs Stapes'. #EPTNotLive

Please bear this in mind as you listen to the podcast: Joe isn’t wearing any underwear. Yep, he’s without pants. But, despite this affliction, the hairy American is on fine form, ranting about idiocy on social media, and the trials and tribulations associated with taking money out of your bank account. Meanwhile, in TV land, it seems Gaelle Garcia Diaz delighted viewers with her performance on ‘Shark Cage’. So, she joins the guys to discuss the latest episode, and reveals that her dog has a rather unfortunate medical condition. James gives the lowdown on the EPT Prague freeroll schedule and the PokerStars Christmas Festival. And ‘Superfan vs Stapes’ turns into a total nerd-fest (as usual), as Dave Goodger goes head-to–head against Joe in a game of Marvel Cinematic Universe trivia. Please note: #EPTNotLive returns on Thursday 3rd December.

Joe is finally back in New Jersey, while James remains in London. But an ocean can’t keep them apart! On the agenda this week: Joe’s impersonation of a billionaire industrialist, a round-up of the WSOP Main Event final table, and a brief discussion of this year’s Poker Hall of Fame inductees (complete with bonus contest). Plus, the latest TV show is put under the microscope, as the boys talk to online qualifier Cory Pansano about his ‘Shark Cage’ experience. There’s also a special message from Pagan Events about one of next year’s EPT festivals. Things get serious when Joe comes to the assistance of a Superfan in need, and James provides some useful tips on how to protect your PokerStars account. Finally, Michael Uong sets out to prove he knows more about soccer than Joe in ‘Superfan vs Stapes’. #EPTNotLive

Although bad weather delayed their flight, James and Joe are back from Malta. They recap the last few days of the festival, including an in-depth review of the world’s best buffet. A young, up-and-coming poker player called Mickey Petersen joins the boys in the studio to compete in this week’s edition of 'Superfan vs Stapes'. Asking the questions: making his second consecutive guest appearance on the podcast. Ronnie Bardah is on board for the TV Recap, talking about his beat-boxing, flirty antics in the latest episode of 'Shark Cage'. And there’s a spoiler-filled review of the new James Bond movie SPECTRE. This is the last item in the show, so skip it if you're not interested, or haven't seen the film yet and don't want your cinematic experience ruined by two pseudo critics! #EPTNotLive

For the first time ever, James and Joe have taken the show on the road. They're in Malta, to bring you an abridged version of the podcast from the site of the second leg of Season 12 of the European Poker Tour. The boys talk airline security, toilets, media events, charity tournaments and 'Shark Cage'. Plus, there's a burst of intense geekery, courtesy of Matt's 'Star Wars' quiz.

It's been a busy week for James and Joe. The undynamic duo have spent an unhealthy amount of time in each other's company. They've hosted a private poker game, been to the movies (to see 'The Martian') and both played the £500 UKIPT Super Series event at The Hippodrome. There's a full 'Event Recap', in which James boasts about his deep run in the tournament. Meanwhile, Joe talks about some success of his own in another thrilling instalment of 'Adventures in Online Poker'. There's a new 'Shark Cage' episode to discuss, and one of the stars of the show, Jennifer Shahade, is this week's guest.

James and Joe try to keep the waffle to a minimum this week, to allow more airtime for their loquacious guest: UK pro Sam Grafton. He's a big part of the latest episode of Shark Cage, so the boys break down the show with Sam, and get his insights into what's good for poker/bad for poker (yes, it's another random game designed and executed by Joe Stapleton). There's also a recap of Joe's trip to Scotland for a comedy charity poker gig (apparently, that's now a thing), including a lesson in how NOT to book a first class train ticket. Plus, Dale Buchanan from Northern Ireland demonstrates his knowledge of Metallica in this week's edition of 'Superfan vs Stapes'. #EPTNotLive

Joe is back in London (James explains why), and talks about the “joys” of staying in an Airbnb apartment. He re-lives his recent stand-up gig in NYC, and justifies his decision to write personal replies to the 400+ people who wished him a happy birthday on social media. There's a review of the latest 'Shark Cage' show, including a 'Too Hot for TV' out-take, and an interview with the winner of Heat 2, Maria Ho. In 'Adventures in Online Poker', Joe raves about working with Celina Lin on the WCOOP Main Event final table stream, while James tries to convince everyone he wasn't trolling in the Twitch chat. A technical problem during the 'Let's Go into the Lobby' segment prompts an emergency call to the IT Support team. And Rob Hawkes joins the boys from Australia, hoping to win a Step C ticket and a T-shirt in 'Superfan vs Stapes'. #EPTNotLive

Before listening to this week's podcast, please spare a thought for Joe. Constant time zone hopping is getting the better of him. He isn't sure what time it is, what day of the week it is, or what country he's in. But he's managed to cobble together a show, featuring Sara Chafak: Miss Finland 2012, and star of one of the most watched poker hands of all time. She joins the boys to talk about the latest episode of 'Shark Cage', and some of the random stuff she's recently posted on the Internet. James and Joe also deal with some 'Social Media Beefs' (now with added cow sounds), and recap a couple of charity poker events: one in NYC, the other at the awesome Hippodrome in London. There's a preview of the forthcoming UKIPT Super Series, and Common Cents tournament festival. And Pedro Almeida is on the line from Canada, hoping to win prizes in a sharkery-cagery themed edition of 'Superfan vs Stapes'. #EPTNotLive

It's a bumper edition of the show (translation: James and Joe spend a lot of time at the start waffling about 'Casablanca', 'The West Wing' and 'Battlestar Galactica'). James recaps his recent trip to Peralada for a celebrity poker shoot, which means Joe has to listen enviously to stories involving Neymar Jr, 'Star Wars' actor John Boyega and model Sara Sampaio, and endure a prolonged rant about the hassles associated with renting a car in Spain. There's some WCOOP chat in 'Adventures in Online Poker', with Joe explaining the “technical issues” that hampered his recent Twitch streams. The boys break down the latest episode of 'Shark Cage' with special guest George Danzer. And Xavi from Barcelona displays his knowledge of the New England Patriots in this week's edition of 'Superfan vs Stapes'. #EPTNotLive

Joe is still in the US, and reveals he recently ventured beyond the New Jersey borders to explore the state of Wisconsin. And that means he's created a quiz for James about “America's Dairyland.” While clearing out the social media (and real life) mailbox, James is able to allay Joe's fears about receiving a wolf's head in the post. Talking of scary predators, Shark Cage is back on TV, so the boys review the first episode, and talk about what's in store for the rest of the season. Joe also unveils his innovative/childish (delete as appropriate) plans for an alternative form of poker commentary, and James explains why he's heading back to Barcelona so soon after the record-breaking EPT festival. Plus, there's a mystery Superfan battling against Stapes for fortune and glory. #EPTNotLive

It's a truly international podcast: James is in London, Joe is in New Jersey, special guest Chance Kornuth is in Greece (on his honeymoon!) and Superfan Keith Woodward is in Connecticut. The boys kick off the show by emptying the social media mailbox, and James raises his concerns about a serious Bond-related calendar conflict (the HOLPOPE is activated in a desperate attempt to get EPT Malta rescheduled). Chance Kornuth takes time away from his month-long “wedding vacation” to re-live the PCA 2015 Main Event final table and talk about the latest TV highlights show. There's also the chance to hear a Joe Stapleton one-liner that was deemed 'Too Hot for TV'. While discussing the schedule for PCA 2016, the guys find it necessary to “Activate the HOLPOPE” again. And again. And again. And this week's instalment of 'Superfan vs Stapes' involves an #EPTNotLive-themed quotation competition.

It's an extended edition of the show, before the boys head to Malta. Joe remembers the late Sam Simon, who was responsible for two of the greatest days of his life. There's an interview with Dominik Panka about his "slowroll" in the latest EPT TV show. In 'Adventures in Online Poker', Joe relives his (brief) run in the Sunday Million and Sunday Storm. And Roland Boothby looks to score one for the audience in 'Superfan vs Stapes'. Don't forget to watch #EPTLive from Malta: 24th-28th March.

In the first ever edition of EPT Not Live, the boys look back at PCA 2015 and discuss Joe's "sexploits" in the Bahamas. They also chat to MMA superstar Tito Ortiz about his experience playing in the PCA Main Event and Shark Cage. There's a review of this week's EPT TV show, which features one of the most bizarre bubbles in EPT history (H.O.L.P.O.P.E. Neil Johnson is on hand to explain all). And listener Rob King competes against Joe in 'Superfan vs Stapes'.
