Headed to London for the Women’s Summer Festival - running now! Only one event is open to fellas (with partner, see below), but if you’re looking for a teammate I’m told there should be plenty of folks looking to be paired up! Check the @PokerStars website for the full schedule!

Taking a break from the WSOP later this week to head to St. Louis for a four night, six show run at the Westport Funnybone featuring for Rob Durham (who is hilarious). Lemme know if you end up wanting to swing through!

Tomorrow Big Game on Tour S2 hits YouTube!!
May 23, 2025 at 9:11 PM
This is happening next week! All 150 hands from Big Game on Tour (Nikki Limo’s table), streamed, with commentary, unedited. Only around 50 made the original broadcast, so it’s going to be around 100 totally unseen hands.

Hey before Ash Wednesday is over I guess now would be a good time to tell you my high school yearbook quote was from Army of Darkness.

Brand new episode of Poker in the Ears just dropped (download it on all the big podcast platforms) and we were lucky enough to be joined by Lefty who was an eye-witness to the sh*tshow table-turnin' at Cherokee.

Alright, Los Angeles. I don't know how much time I'll be spending here the rest of the year, but I do know I'll be at The Kookaburra Lounge in Hollywood tomorrow night for a 7pm comedy show. Hit me up for a link because this site ain't too keen on 'em. (Photo not recent)

New @pokerstarsusa.bsky.social Ambassador Caitlin Comesky joined as guest co-host on the Poker in the Ears pod this week. It took her all of a minute to call me a d*ck. Do y'all wanna see & hear more from Caitlin as a co-host? (Positive answers only)

If you want to show your partner just how little you value your relationship this Valentine’s Day, I’d like to remind everyone I’m available on Cameo and my pricing is humiliatingly cheap.

Who’s in the Biggest Little City in the World ™️ this weekend? I’m at Harvey’s (technically in Tahoe) this weekend on Friday & Saturday night. If you’re not, you can still catch me in Hollywood on February 28th at the Kookabura lounge.

If any of my LA friends want to pretend like they care about me I'll be at Flappers tomorrow night and I can give you a discount code for your caring as well so it'll only cost you $5 (plus a two drink minimum plus parking etc).

New episode of Poker in the Ears with yet another new feature in 2025 - GUEST CO-HOST! This week, it's @spraggy! Some say he's the perfect blend of James' smug arrogance & Stapes' smug stupidity. Others say he's simply "fine." Listen for yourself! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...
