0:00:09Welcome KL Cleeton!

0:00:45KL talks about his poker backstory, and how he got to where he is today.

0:06:46Given that much of KL’s poker and business life is lived online, has COVID been less of a disturbance to his typical routine than it might be for others?

0:09:38How much poker does he play these days, and what kinds of games does he play?

0:11:45KL’s father accompanies him to live tournaments like the WSOP in order to offer any physical assistance he might need. Has that kind of exposure increased his father’s interest in poker?

0:17:33KL is known for sometimes off-colour humour. Does he ever feel the need to censor himself, knowing that his father is there with him?

0:20:35How does he feel about the current climate of increased social sensitivity? Does he ever experience other people being more offended than he is by discriminatory behaviour that is directed at him? Does he experience much discrimination, in general, when playing live poker?

0:27:49KL shares the details of his disability — Spinal Muscular Atrophy, or SMA — and how it affects his day-to-day life.

0:35:52Jamie mentions Veronica Brill’s GoFundMe initiative intended to raise funds to purchase a modified van that will allow KL to travel to live poker events. Please consider donating here:gofundme.com/f/stack-kl

0:45:51KL talks about his business primary business endeavour, Range Trainer Pro.

0:52:09KL has dogs. What’s his relationship with them like?

0:58:00Jamie brings up the idea that Chauncey must be suffering with Marle off in the UK. The ensuing conversation takes a random turn toward a lengthy discussion of Dungeons & Dragons and other strategy games, and how they can relate to poker.

1:08:02The hosts discuss Melissa Burr’s incredible appetite and recent chicken nugget challenge.

1:12:36Wrapping up. A final plug for Range Trainer Pro.
