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.
