0:00:09Welcome Ebony Kenney!

0:00:57Where is Ebony during COVID-19 lockdown, and what’s her plan as the situation progresses?

0:02:54What has the COVID response been like where she is in Canada?  How does it compare to the response in the UK and the States?

0:04:24A discussion about the prevalence in the States of people refusing to wear masks, etc, and the logic (or lack thereof) behind that stance.

0:07:35Ebony tells us about the project that she’s currently working on in Canada with friends from her Thirst Lounge days.

0:11:11A cameo from Jamie’s new puppy, Princess Buttercup!  Ebony’s daughter also has a new dog.

0:12:31Back to Ebony’s current streaming project.  How did it come about?  It’s nice to have a paid job during COVID, especially in the absence of live poker.

0:15:00Moving to online poker during COVID has been a difficult transition.  Live poker was much softer.  Ebony shares her WSOP experience.

0:17:24Daniel Negreanu’s recent stream outburst:  How bad was it?  How does it compare to Ebony, Jamie, and Marle’s own experiences with and responses to chat trolls?

0:25:41How should a poker ambassador behave?  How should you respond when somebody calls you out for problematic behaviour?  A discussion about Robert “pokerguru740” Kuhn’s use of the word “faggot” on stream.

0:33:57Negreanu has been banned from Twitch.  Thoughts on how the type of behaviour he displayed reflects on the poker community, and how that community can regulate itself.

0:36:04A lot of people in the community have been piling on Negreanu in the wake of his outburst.  Is the response justified?

0:43:41Marle addresses the controversy that arose over her “sucking dick for stakes” comments on last week’s pod.  She, Jamie, and Ebony discuss the ins and outs of being objectified  and/or disrespected by men in the poker community.

0:55:11The importance of speaking out against other people’s discriminatory behaviour or remarks, as opposed to being silent unless it directly affects you.

0:59:01A discussion about the power dynamic that can exist between male backers and the female players they’re backing, and how that dynamic can sometimes be exploited in a sexual manner.

1:05:56Can anything be done about the stereotypes toward women that exist in the poker community?  Marle explains how she was attempting to address them in her early vlogs.

1:08:08Ebony talks a bit about her relationship with Arlie Shaban, and relates the dynamic to the concept that people should be respected regardless of public perception of their personal life.

1:10:31A discussion about the reality of rumours, especially sexual rumours, and how they choose to deal with them.

1:15:29The challenge of fighting a stereotype while also supporting and respecting the people whose behaviour the stereotype targets.  The frustration that comes from gender stereotypes being used to discredit the achievements of female poker players.

1:18:20Jamie didn’t start using solvers until the pandemic.  Ebony has also only recently been getting deep into study.

1:19:49We need more female ambassadors in poker.

1:21:13What does Ebony think has changed most in poker since she began her career in the game?

1:22:44Wrapping up.  How being a mother, and especially having a daughter has shaped Ebony’s perspective on the treatment of women in the poker community.
