I got a whistle. I got a whistle. Blow it, dude. Our guest just left. He'll be on in a few minutes. Eddie did not know what was happening when he came in, but he's a... I tell you what, it's changed my life now. Well, it didn't change your life.

Oh, yeah. It could. It will. It will. He's going to go play the World Series of poker, and Eddie and I invested into him playing, and if he wins, we win. I've never done this before my life. It's so cool. You'll hear that interview coming up in just a little bit.

I got a couple things that I want to. You go to the live tournament? You did go to the live tournament. I did, dude, and it was awesome. Like, I've never gone to a golf tournament before as a spectator, and I can just guarantee you that PGA is not like this. Kevin, you go? Yeah, I did. I've been to the PGA one, too.

Yeah? And it's not the same. I mean, I've been to the Mashers. Okay. We get it. We get it. Okay. Yeah, I did go. I went for a little bit. Eddie went two days. I did. I went Saturday. It took my wife on Saturday. Yeah, because we asked if you guys, my wife's like, you want to invite Eddie and his wife over and their kids to go to the pool. And I was like, okay, sure. And then she's like, no, they don't want to come. Not true. We had already gotten babysitter. That's what she said. She said, you guys were going to the tournament. Yeah, yeah. It was a lot of fun. And it was cool with her. It was just the first day and we were getting the lay of the land. So we were trying to follow certain golfers and walk around. And it just wasn't.

that much fun on Saturday. On Sunday, though, we figured it out. Yeah. You find a tree in the middle of the fairway, sit under the tree in a chair and get a couple beers and watch every single golfer come by. Yeah, he goes, I'm not leaving here. Me and my buddy went and I was like, hey, we're going to walk around a little bit. Okay, we'll be here.

Do you take your son? I took my son, yeah, my 16-year-old. And dude, and he loved it. Like, he just knew. Mickelson's coming. Here comes, Mickleson. And sometimes, you know, you were just hoping that the ball would come your way and it would land like right where you're sitting, so you just don't have to move and you can

sit there and watch him hit the hit to the green i just read a book called gambler by billy something it's a really long book phil mickinson's the worst dude he's the worst human what do you mean the he gave me a thumbs up dude you should read you don't want to read the book's too long for you i think if there's like a kid's version of it i'd say read this mike it's by billy walters yeah see this is funny because we talked about bad bill mickson's a bad dude bryson de shumbo and i'm like he just rubs me the wrong way i he just rubs me the wrong way i he He seems too nice. He acts too nice.

Difference in a douche and a bad dude. I feel like I can be douchey at times, but I'm not a bad dude. Phil Mickelson? Bad dude. You think 275 pages is too much for Eddie? Yes. Oh, absolutely. That's a shorter book.

I've read like three books my whole life. Well, that's why I stopped in the middle. It's a long book. It's good. Okay. But it's about this guy's story of sports gambling, probably lost millions, started. But Phil Mckelson is a big part of the book because of our friends.

Phil Mix is a bad dude. Yeah. Anyway, but Phil's also gambled over a billion bucks. Remember when the story came out about that? That's from this book. Yeah, yeah, okay. Let me tell you, there is a vibe there,

knowing the kind of the whole battle between PGA and these people leaving for, you know, taking the money, leaving the PGA tour, taking the money, lots of big, big money to go play for LiveTurne. Live League. And you do kind of feel it a little bit because it's anti-PGA.

You walk in there. They were shorts? they wear whatever they want. Nice. They want to do a hoodie. They can wear a hoodie. Yes. Basically they can do whatever they want bones and they have music playing loud.

Over the course. Yeah. I mean, as they're driving, as they're putting. And at one point, Cameron Smith, like him and his catty was like, hey, can you turn that down just for one second while I try to make this birdie put? Like, just bring it down just a little bit. Did you see John Rom yell at that drone? No. We were on the green of that shot, actually.

He was teeing off on and I forget what hole was. but then he looked up and he cursed out this drone. He was like, every freaking shot, every tournament, there's a stupid drone here. Like his ball went out of bounds. And we were wondering what was going on because we saw it happen from the green. We could tell something was going on and then I saw it on Instagram in the clip. You're getting paid millions and millions of dollars. Just deal with it.

Deal with it. They come from a culture of that not being the norm, though. Well, yeah, but now it's not. And you got paid for it to be the norm. But again, deal with it. Yes. But I also could understand. They're like, man, I'm not super comfortable, right.

So let me just ask and see if... There is, too, a feeling of them. They look like they're having more fun. Not those instances that he just said of the drone and all that. But for the most part, like, fans are yelling at them. They give them go and give you fist bombs. They'll come sign whatever. You can bother the player while they're playing the game.

Oh, cool. Or like PGA, like, no, no. They're playing for millions of dollars. I don't. That's cool. Yeah, I like that. Oh, dude, we had a black. It was so hot, though.

We did, I'm telling you, when we had that tree shade and water, you're good to go. We, Reed and I went to a workout with Kevin Kluge, our trainer. He had a big charity workout that Eddie wasn't able to go to because he went to live. Hey, don't worry, it was for charity. I know. It was for an American who served and lost. Correct. Exactly.

Lost both of his feet, his legs while you're over there supporting Saudi money golf. Oh, man. That's just terrible. Yeah, exactly. So we're of Team USA. You're a team full of crap. So we went to the workout and it was on top of a big parking. garage and it was pretty difficult. It's really hot. That's why I say it was really hot. You had

guess I'd be melting out there. We were hot. Supporting oil money from Saudi. Oil money. Reed's roommate came. And so Reed's roommate's name is Dawson. And I met Dawson a few times. And, you know, it's not a super hard workout, but it's a pretty hard workout. It's not easy. And the people that are coming to it are people that have either worked out with Klug, our trainer, my trainer, or other parts of Klug's company, Clug Fitness. his trainers. And so Reed's roommate, Dawson. I said, hey man, when's the last time he worked out? And he was like, I don't know, two years ago.

And it was so hot that it wouldn't have mattered what we did. It was going to be bad. And so a little bit I worked out with him, just partnering with them on some stuff. And I was like, hey, do this. Great job. Great job. Because I could tell he was suffering. Smart on you, too, to pick someone that's kind of new. That way you can slow your work down. It was, it was, it was, um, it was, um, pylometric stuff. So it really wasn't Yeah, we still had to move. But Reed did a good job, and Reed was a new, new newbie about two months ago.

And Reed's starting to get a little stronger. But how's Dawson doing? Oh, man, I thought yesterday... It's a he. It's not a she? Wait, wait, wait, what? He might be now, I don't know. What?

He, I thought he was... His penis melted on? He thought he was dead, man. I came down... So, I came downstairs yesterday morning, and he was on the couch down there. even in his own bed. He was just literally just dead on his couch. I was like, okay, I guess

he's just going to sleep in. It was like 10 o'clock at that time. It's like, okay, I'll just, you know, I'll let him sleep in. I went out and I came back. It was like 2 o'clock, still there. Still there just lay. I figured he'd be hurting. I was like, this man, I had to check his pulse. Thought he might be gone. The second day's the worst. He's probably worse today. Yeah, wish him, wish him our best. I'm sore. I don't know. I can't imagine him who's not done it. I'm proud of Yeah, me too. I told him, I was like, do a great job because that was not easy. But that's for America. And that was a charity workout, and somebody else was working toward Saudi oil money. Eddie texted me like Friday night. He's like, hey, I forgot to tell you, Klug's doing this thing tomorrow if you want to go.

And then he told us you might come, and so we look for you. Oh. Because you said, yeah. I said, I'm going to try to figure. But I already had plans that morning. It was just, Eddie just doesn't care about America. We're like looking for kickoff and we're looking around. Just because Eddie said, yeah, then Eddie asked me this morning, did Kevin show up? And I was like, no, he didn't show up. So I was kind of irritated.

I didn't know there was like a last minute mention to you. Oh, yeah, he even said, I forgot to tell you this, but Klug wanted me to invite you to this. It's okay. He went to the live tournament and only stayed for like two hours. Three hours. He was so hot. He was to a golf tournament. I don't think golf's that fun to watch in person unless you're sitting on a green.

Yeah. Again, I've only ever been. How about under a tree in the middle of the fairway? That didn't seem that fun of me. But I can't watch it. Land on the green. You can't. You're right in the middle.

You see the T shot. It lands right in front of you and then they hit in the green. I'm sure you had a great time. I didn't enjoy it and we chase God. The only tournaments I've ever been to is the Masters. And I know that's not, it's not so much of flexes. It's the only one I've ever been to. But I bet there's a billion people there though.

Well, they have a cap. And if you put a seat down at the beginning, no one can ever sit in your seat. Really? So we followed, first of all, it's hard to get near Tiger. It's hard to get near Tiger. And so you'd have to go sit and wait for them to come by. You want the ultra-altre flex that I may drop on you. It's been yours.

But me and Erotic and John Legend set at a hole and just gambled on people who would get closest to the green the whole time on part three. You guys took your camping chairs and sat at a hole. No, we didn't take chairs, but we just sat at a hole, though. We just went and found a spot on a par three, sat beside the green, and then just gambled on people. That's fun. That was the most fun that we had because we weren't like running around.

It was so hot. You can't see the ball when they hit it. Yeah. That was the toughest part when they teed off. He would lose a little bit. Yeah, it's gone. And then I made the joke every time like, oh, it's coming. It's coming right out of us.

Eddie said some weird stuff. Any Gators in there? Oh, dude. No, I had a good one. I had a real good one. He said some weird stuff. Whenever somebody hit it in the woods or whatever, I'd be like, yeah, top flight, he's hitting the top flight. He's hitting the Kirkland.

They love that one, dude. All right, let's go and do the tittle, tattle. Come on. Seen some viral field storming videos going on the last week or so. So if you're to storm a field, what would the event be? Well, I picked the biggest field so I could run the most. So I think it would probably obviously be the Super Bowl. But then I want to go, it has to be football.

You're running on a basketball course. you got nowhere to go. Baseball field, more. It's filled there, but not as much. They can track you pretty quick. I don't watch soccer. I'd probably pick soccer field, but there are more guys. Don't try to storm with Messi.

Messy's bodyguard. You ever see him run with him when Messi's playing? He runs everywhere Messi goes, he runs beside him on the sideline. It'd probably be like the Super Bowl, and it'd be football, and only because there's more filled to run before I just get the crap smacked out of me by a security guy. But then you get on there, and then what do you do? Like, you lost all your friends. like you don't know where anyone is like you look for

No, what I did though is somebody bet me 10 grand to do it So I'm going to get my money later after I get out of jail Because in my bet they bet they bet me 10 grand And they're going to pay for my legal fees and getting me out. I'm blind So that's my mind. How long do you think you can make it? I say a football game.

I don't think you can make it 60 seconds. What if they tase you? I don't think you'll make it 60 seconds. I mean, I think if you can hit 60, that's long. But they have to reach you to tase you. Like they got to get to you. And if they get to you, they're going to get to you. But yeah, they tase the baseball game, kid.

Yeah, do you think that was deserved or what's your take? It's kind of polarizing. Did he do a flip? He did that flip. He landed the flip, too. He landed the flip, yes. I would say that in that situation, I don't think he was a threat. But.

Taze him anyway. I think that you can always go. It's harmless. He could have been a threat to anyone down there and their safety's on our hands. And it also sets precedent of, you come down here, you get taken. I'm pro tase.

Honestly, like, what's worse? The tays or a tackle? Like, you can break some if you get tackled. I was pro tees. Yeah, I think I'm pro teased. I think I'm pro tees. And the 18th green. Yeah.

The protesters. Yeah. And that happened. Where was that? The PGA? The Travelers. Oh, dang. I wasn't there for that one.

No, you were not the American one. How did I live? Yeah. You're supporting. All right. What else? Which winner take all game are you most excited for tonight? I don't care about hockey, but I know it's going to be awesome, but I don't care about hockey.

I know if you're going to ask that. I don't know nothing about hockey. I know, listen, there's only ever been one championship series. There's like 1907. I'm not even sure what the thing is. And whatever. And I know this is happening here. And it's Oilers in Florida.

Panthers. I don't know. I don't watch hockey. Not even a little bit playoffs because I don't watch that much. But man, hockey playoffs are a different animal. I don't. Here's the reason I don't. Because I respect it.

But I don't know the sport. I don't even want to learn the sport Because if I do learn the sport I'm going to get really invested in it I don't have room to get invested in anything else Between all the sports I watch Between gambling Between

Sports cards Between memorabilia Between it doesn't matter We're shooting show I can't do hockey I don't know enough about it I can't I'm done Go

I hope that Tennessee does not win the baseball Championship Are you going to watch it It's two It's two of the most obnoxious fan bases In the history of time The Aggies are so obnoxious. But I can't root for Tennessee.

Why not? Oh, SEC. No, what? They're both SEC. So what's your problem? Tennessee and Arkansas are more of a baseball rival. Tennessee's head coach is Arkansas assistant coach. If he wins it at Tennessee, he probably won't go take the job at Arkansas after our legendary coach leaves.

Good looking dude. Yeah, I thought he was a player for a second. Yeah, like him. I got the beard and the hair. Yeah, and the whole hair flow going. You team throw dirt yesterday? I'm going to root for the Aggies. And I'm not going to watch either one of them because I don't like anything going on with any four of those.

Where is Florida, the Panthers? Where are they from? What are you asking? Where are they from? What are you asking me about a hockey question? Anyone? What did I just say? Does anyone know?

If I were guessing, I would say Miami, but I don't know. I don't think they're from Miami. I don't know. Obviously not Tampa Bay because of the lightning. That's lightning. North of Miami. Boom, Miami. They're from Miami?

They play in Sunnrise, Florida. Yeah, so it's Miami suburb. I would just imagine that the only place left that's big enough. Yeah, okay. If Tampa's already happened, which I don't know Honestly I'd never heard of the Panthers They heard of the Lightning

They were in it last year too Oh Dude exactly Moving on Because I don't care about either of those games Actually I dislike both games Okay Yeah go ahead

Okay somebody that you do like Caitlin Clark Do you think? I watch the whole game Let me tell you about this game yesterday It's a stupidest thing They were up like 14 They just didn't give the ball

To Caitlin Clark It was why She even threw the ball in Point two seconds left Or two to win The last shot of the game The coach made her throw it in Fire the coach

fire the coach the most clutch shooter in the history of college basketball and she's not she's in the ball in her hands they had her throwing in the inbounds it was so annoying to watch also lost 500 bucks on it

because I took that doesn't help the fever plus one it was dang terrible but can't Clark had 13 assists she was being way too unselfish she still had double digit points

maybe 17 points something like that I think she went 17 points 13 assists Angel Reese played really well, but they should have moved to Leah Boston over onto Angel Reese because she was dominating the girl. And they were all, it was the dumbest game I'd ever seen. Chicago should not have won that game. What was your question? I don't even remember, actually, now.

No, do you think she regrets not taking the final shot? I think she's being a good teammate right now, and I think it's time for her to be selfish. I think she's being a good teammate. She had 13 assists. She's trying to get everybody involved. It is now time for her to average seven-rate. assist the game, but she needs to take more shots. So, the end.

Jordan wasn't a good teammate. I'd rather have Leah Boston than Angel Reese, first of all, because I can't stand Angel Reese. Because she goes after Caitlin Clark. But they don't even play the same position. They're not even rivals. But it's good that I can't stand Angel Reese. That's what you said the other day. But I'm saying I'd rather have Leah Boston than Angel

Reese. Because her and Kayla Clark will not be a rivalry. They don't play the same position. It would be like Shaq and Spudweb having a rivalry. They don't even play each other. Stockton and Madden off. Okay, but when are you two going to match up against each other? Was Jordan and Bird were they same? But Jordan and Bird weren't, you mean Magic and Bird? No.

Jordan and Bird weren't really a rivalry. Yeah, he came in... What are you all talking about? That's a huge rivalry. Michael, Jordan, Larry Bird? They even made a video game out of it. But that's because they were the two biggest stars in the NBA. Yeah, like late 80s, but Bird was on his way out. Bird and Magic was the rivalry. Okay, and they played each other.

They matched each other. And they were both... They didn't play at the same position because Magic was a massively large point guard. And Byrd, although, but Magic could play the four, Magic could play one through four. Burt could play one through four, but they just didn't play the same number from their base spot.

Does that make sense? That's why that worked. And they also played together each other in college, but so did Angel and Caitlin Clark. But Caitlin Clark does not say anything about Angel Reese. I know. Sometimes I just want to tell her just, come on. You didn't do it a little bit. She's nailed it. Let me tell you, Kenla Clark's brilliant. You can tell her whatever you want, She's not going to hear you.

She's stud. All right, next question. All right, last one. Despite being 16 and 10 in this first two years of Oklahoma, do you think signing Venables to an extension is the right move? I didn't see this. This is news to me. Really?

You're an Oklahoma family. Don't say fan. Family. Explain to me what happened. When did this happen? When did this happen? When did this happen? What did this happen?

I think Friday or Saturday? I missed. I was too busy being angry at taking Saudi money. You did say you have too much going on sports-wise. No, but this is one of the things. Yeah, I'm actually surprised. I didn't see this. Go ahead.

So tell me the deal. Yeah, six years, $43.5 million deal through 2009. Man, he really hasn't done much. And he's a defensive coach in an offensive world. He's a Clemson guy? Right? He was a defensive coordinator there, but I want to say he's a Clemson guy. He was at Oklahoma.

He's been in Oklahoma before. Before Clemson? I just remember him being in a Clemson for some reason. I think he was a coordinator at Oklahoma. Regardless, He's got a good recruiting class. They always had good recruiting classes. I don't know.

I feel like that's too early, but at least you show him up. And they're going to the SEC. You want stability. What do you do? Anybody have him? I feel like he was a coordinator at Oklahoma before he left. Yeah, co-defensive coordinator. Yeah.

And linebackers coach. That's a lot of money. Somebody who I'm done. Mm-hmm. But that's my deal. All right, that's Tiddle Tattle. Hit it. The stupidest name ever.

It's the Tiddle Tattle with kickoff. We're going to take a break, but a couple things. I do have someone, a gift. Sometimes I just see things. And then I go, oh, I should grab that. Because I've grabbed Mike, Disney drawing from like 1941 or something. What was it? From Pinocchio, one of the characters.

Yeah. That was really cool. The animation sales. That's what it's called? Yeah. Cool. I got Kevin, I got Robert Parrott. Oh, Kevin, I have your shirt.

Your trophy. Dang. I don't know where I put it in the house. Uh-oh. Oh, no. He's keeping it. I know. He liked it so much.

No, I have Kevin's shirt. I don't know where your trophy is, but it's at the house somewhere. Okay. Here's your Boston Celtics champion trophy, a shirt, extra large. Saw that, got that for you. That's cool. Nice. So that's all, you know, I'll look out for you guys.

Eddie, I got Eddie. Why did I get you? I don't know. What did you get me? Did you get me anything? You get like a DAC card or something? No. No.

Did I not get you something from an auction or something? Have I not got to Eddie? I don't think so, man. I feel like I have. I started with Eddie. Yeah. What was the first thing? If you don't remember and we're playing this game

and there really was something and you don't remember it, I'm about to be pissed. Oh, well, it was my St. Louis helmet. Paul Goldschmidt. That would have been that. No, it wasn't that. I thought it was a Cowboys thing. I thought it was a Cowboys thing, too.

I don't have anything. Okay. If I remember this. though. It means you don't value our friendship. That's true. And you love. Trying to think right now. If it was anything, Cowboys, I have a hat.

You got me a hat, but that couldn't have been it. Okay. So I got somebody a gift here coming up. It's extra large, right? Yeah. Okay, cool. You got to be careful, man. Like, when I travel, I used to bring my kids stuff every time I travel.

And then now every time I get back. This is if I see it like an auction. I didn't buy anything like an auction or something? I don't think so. Maybe it's our party that we're going to. That's what it is. Okay. I bought you a $25,000 $2,000 ticket to a party.

How did you not remember that? You said Dallas Cowboys things. No, no, we were trying to get to it. Wow, this guy takes it granted. Hey, thanks for my shirt, dude. Wow. It's a $2,000 ticket to something. It's like, I don't remember anything.

Maybe it was that party in Baltimore. Okay, we're going to take a break. I do have somebody a gift, and then we will come back. Thank you.

Okay This person's in the Hall of Fame But again I don't know who it was Mel Renfro No Hunter Renfro No Renfro

Oh He's a baseball player Um incorrect Okay All right Beijing the Hall of Fame went in 1996 So this is the seat back to a stadium chair

That's two people that have signed it Um Everson Walls Oh wow Hand it over Hand it over Okay so Dang that's from the old Texas Stadium

It's from the old Cowboys Stadium The people that have signed it are Mel Renfro Hall of Fame 96 Bill Bates Three times Super Bowl champion Local Bates dude number 40 Yes linebacker Everson Walls 57 interceptions number 24

Hell of a defensive Leroy Jordan, number 55, Ring of Honor, 89, and Jay Novichick. Wow. It's C-3. And so I saw that from the Cowboys Stanley. Wow, dude, that is awesome. And so...

That looks really uncomfortable. What do you mean? It's just, look at the back there. The curvature? It's just like that... Read, I was going to give this to you. I mean, I'll still sit in it. It's got to share.

So Eddie, I got that for you. That's awesome, dude. Nice. Thank you. Wow. up. Hey, the Bates jersey is one I wore at the game. What you should do is keep it too and get more cowboys just to sign it.

That's cool. I'll send it to my friend Tony. Cassius. Oh yeah? Oh yeah. You can get him to sign it. So there's that. Thank you. That's so cool. I got on, and I got that in last week. I bought it like a month and a half ago. It takes a while for stuff to get in. And so I got on the auction site though last night. Wow. And they have auctions on Sunday nights. And I bought, what I do is I go in and I just put bids on a bunch of sports cards and I hardly ever went into them.

I woke up and I won four. I didn't mean to win that many. Oh, no. I won four with like a $600 bill I had to pay this morning. I got a... 19792 tops Roberto Clemente. Nice. I got a...

1972 tops Pete Rose. I got a sign Nolan Ryan 5,000 strikeout 1990 upper deck card. That's cool. And a... 2018 autographed rookie card. Shea Gugas Alexander.

So those are my four cards there. That I did not know I was going to win all of them. And then I saw it. I didn't expect that bill to be that high because I didn't expect to get all of them. You posted a video of some Jordan card that you got? Like a mint 10 or whatever that you got? So I posted a couple. I posted a Jordan because I sent Jordan at the playground off.

That's it. That's the one. Thinking there's no way this comes back a 10 because it's so old. It came back at 10. And I sent off to Ken Griffey Jr. Donorous Diamond Kings and one came back at 10. That I just bust that in a package.

That's awesome. One came back at 10. And the 8th worth like 13 bucks. But the 10 is worth $5,600. That's amazing how much two grades can change the price. Completely changes it. Yeah, for sure. Well, anyway, my point was I saw, as soon as I saw your story on eBay, I saw a Jordan

Playground card for auction that just got put up. It was a mint 10 for 99 cents. I put a bid on it. Oh, you mean with an auction? Yeah. And I got the bad news today that I got. out bid. Well, yeah, of course. Wonder what that's going to go for.

It's at $2.99 now. $2.99. Okay. So should I keep bidding? Like, what's my cap on that? That thing will probably end up for like $75. Oh. So it's probably whatever you want to cap it at.

Okay. I just didn't think it was in just an pack I found. I also had these 1991 pro line because we, I was on this sports card show. And I left and he, they were telling us about this place near where Reed is. And so I just gave Reed some money. And say, hey, go to this garage because I'll be gone. and get whatever. So Reed got like five, six boxes.

I've been busting him over the weekend. I had a Jeter draft pick rookie. Wow. If it comes back at 10, it's worth like $900. It comes back in nine worth like $80. It's that difference. But it looks in a pretty good shape,

possibly really good shape, so I'm going to send it off. Also, these pro line cards is a terrible decision with these NFL players to do these cards. Because some of them are like shirtless. They're like portraits.

It looks like they're about to do like porn. Really? Yeah. Terrible managers. I save four of them to run. I'm going to send off. I got a Belichick rookie in a Browns. I didn't know coaches had a rookie cards.

If it's a 10, it'd be worth like 100 bucks or so. But I have four that I've saved that I'm going to keep. My goal is to interview all four of these pro-line quarterbacks and get them to sign them. John Elway, Dan Marino, Steve Young, Troy Eggman. Those are the four that I can. kept. Oh, that'd be awesome. And so, I'm going to see, that's the goal. I'll interview the four pro-line quarterbacks that I have from the box. When do we have Rich Eisen coming in?

Rich Eisen is coming to my house in August, I think. Okay, I have a card. I might want him to sign. No, I gave you that card. I know. Whoa, whoa, whoa, why not? Okay, you can't. I get it. Yeah, I saw it on my desk because he gave it to my kids and I was like, hey, wait a second. Okay. That's what's that. Let me just send this interview here. Kevin, I think you want to say about this interview? I never knew so much about poker.

Boom. Until setting this guy up. You know more now. Eddie, you... Well, we can hear it. Do you remember his name? What's up? Yeah, his name's Nate.

Making sure. Nate Dog. Nate Dog. All right, here we go. Enjoy us. Spending our money on someone else playing poker for us. Okay, we have Nate Forrest in studio, and this is what happened. Nate DM'd me, right?

Yeah. So I just saw it. I think I was going through. Slid into the DMs. Yeah. Yeah, and he was like, what do you? He's like, look at this. No, apparently, have you played the World Series Poker before?

I've played the World Series of Poker, but I've never played the main event. So he's going to play the main event in the World Series Poker. Wow. Which is pretty cool because you pay $10,000. And this is the famous one. This is the big one. Yeah. And so just tell Eddie what your message was to me and what your ask was if I wanted to be a part of it.

So a lot of poker players get backers put up money to play the main event. some poker players put up all their money. And I thought about it would, it would have been easy to get five or ten poker buddies to put up $500 to $1,000 each and raise half of it. And the plan was to put up $5,000 myself. That would have been easy. And I turned 50 on July 5th,

and I've never played the main event, so I just had this wild idea. Why do the easy route and get five or 10 guys to put up $500,000 each? Let me get 50, 50 guys and girls and get a team of 50 to put up $100 each. It would be a little bit more work, but it'll be more fun and I'll have a team of 50 at 50 and we'll do something. We'll raise a little money for a good charity that I'm working behind.

And so we, in less than 24 hours, when I reached out to Bobby, I had 32 people that just quick text, quick messages had 32 people in about six or 10 hours. Reached out to Bobby, he said, I've got 32 people. I'm not going to have any problem getting 18 more, but I saw one of your posts, but I would love to have you on the team also. And, you know, a little bit later he said I'm in. And so I need to get my facts right here. Like if you win, I win money, right?

You win money. Okay, make sure. Because I'm on three spots. Not the charity. You win money. Yeah, we're helping with the charity. We're talking about the charity here. Okay, okay, okay.

But I went, right, right. Yeah. Okay. So I, it was $100 a spot. Uh-huh. And I gave, I picked you $300. Yep. So you got three spots.

Yes. So let's say you went. How much do I get? So first place last year was around $12 million. Okay. So you get 3%. You would get around $360,000 if I win the whole thing. Okay.

So I get percentages. The advantage is 1% per the $100. Mm-hmm. And the plan was 50 people at $100 each. You missed the assignment and said, I'll take three spots. So officially, you have three spots and three names. Now, it's your money. Boom, I like, that's what I was going to say.

So we got Eddie, we got Kevin, we got Kevin. Do you have any other open spots? It's, I've sold 50 spots. Okay, then I'm going to know. 50. More about it. Okay, so me, Eddie, and Kevin. So I'm in?

But you don't get any money. What are you talking about? I need to get in on this. But I already paid the money. If you want to give me... Eddie, I will sell a couple more spots. I intentionally held out my last few spots, but then I had people reaching out to me that I couldn't say no to.

And so I came here with 50 spots, but definitely we'll sell two or three more spots for somebody. But you have to pay your own money if you're going to get them $100 a year. You don't even know if he's ever played cards before. We've literally talked about kind of my background. I've never played poker. No, that's not true. You just said you played, you just never played the main event.

But you're jumping in. without having any knowledge of it whatsoever. Hey, but that's what this interview is for. We can ask them. Let's keep asking them more questions. Okay, so then Eddie's going to get in. Kevin, would you like your name of one of my spots? Yeah, we need to do it.

Let's do it. Okay, but you don't. Well, I've done some homework a little bit at least. Did we even start the interview yet, or is this all? We're all right. Oh, yeah. You don't get any money. Okay, here are the name of one of my spots.

I want to Bobby Bones. Bobby Estel. I'm out because I'm getting my own. Eddie's got his own. Caitlin Estill. So it's me. My fake name, my real name, and my wife. Those are the three names.

Because I'm not getting into a legal thing where you guys are suing me because I went all the money. We totally would have sued if you were on a big one. So if we make the top 15% this year they're doubling it. You only paid about $15,000 if you made the money. So if we make the top 15%, we get $20,000 back so you turn each $100 into $200. That's amazing. So we're investing in you. 100%.

You're investing in me. And I also mentioned a key part of this story that, you know, I didn't know if Bobby reached out to me because I'm a big Razorback fan. Go Hogs. We pig Sue. Well, to be fair, I don't reach you out. I reach back. Reach back. Yes, clarify. Go ahead.

Or because I also mentioned the Chris Moneymaker aspect. I don't mention this a lot publicly, but it's a pretty cool story. I introduced Chris Moneymaker to No Limit, Texas Hold'em about 25 years ago. And, of course, he went on to win the 2003 main event in 2003. And, you know, he's a professional poker player sponsored by ACR. And so a good friend of mine. And so I'll be meeting him in Vegas to play the Moneymaker tour event. over at MGM a couple of days before the main event.

That's the best of that. I like that. Let's give me some more money. We have no idea what you do with the money. We're like, let's just give them more money. I'm not sure if I'm going to play the $1,700 moneymaker main event because it leads into the main event. But I'm playing the, it's just a $300 tournament moneymaker.

He does a moneymaker tour around the country. So if you ever see, if you guys ever see that, you know, posted in Florida and Texas and Kentucky, he has a moneymaker social poker room in Louisville. If you guys want to jump in and play a little cash with Chris Moneymaker, he pops in from time to time. I drive up there every once in a while. But in Vegas for the main event, we're going to be with the Moneymaker Tour. And then that's all practice. Maybe we'll win a little bit of money before the actual main event. But we're going to have some fun. So how did you start

playing poker? What's the best you've ever done? Are you any good? I play a lot of cash games. I'm a winning cash game player. I've been a winning cash game player for 25 years. And I've played a lot of tournaments and won several tournaments, but I've just never played anything as big as the main event. I think the biggest cash I've ever had is right around 10,000 and I've done, you know, several tournaments where I've won two to 10,000 and a lot of tournaments where you went 800 to 2,000. So this is one of those things where it's like in one lesson I'd like for anybody listening is I call them all in moments. We have these decisions in life where you put something

off, whether it's to start a show, a podcast, or to start a business or start a whatever. I call them all in moments because in poker, when you pick a hand and you go all in, it's your all in and every year I've said I'm going to play the main event next year. I'm going to play it next year next year. For like 10, 15 years, I'm going to play it next year. So now this is the time to start playing the main event because it's a good field with a lot of really bad players and a lot of really good players too.

But the bad players can suck you out. And I used to play competitively for a while. Sometimes because they're so bad, you can't actually commit them to any thought because who knows what the freak they're thinking. That was me for a long time. I'd show up and they'd be like, I really didn't know how to play and they'd be like,

I don't think I can believe you. And they really thought I didn't know how to play and I didn't know how to play. And they're like, no, he's tricking us. And then I'd win all the time. Yeah. You wouldn't win all the time. I would, dude.

You'd like be searching River of five and that's all you were looking for for us straight. I'd make everyone fold. Everyone would be full. Like, yeah, he's probably got something good. I shouldn't say this. We have some really good games in Nashville with, you know, a handful of bad,

just like any poker game. Yeah. And there's some good players. With the bad players, you just want to make sure you have a good hand. With the good players, you can be a little bit, you know, you can bluff them a little bit more. So, you know, there's obviously more that goes into it. Okay, and you have been playing for a long time.

You know how to play. I'm making sure our money's protected, boys. Yes, thank you. Are you going to get mine your buck? I mean, if I win, it might be highway time. You know, it's like the movie rounders. You might not ever see me again. Is there a way that we can watch how good you're doing?

Wait, wait. What do you just say about leaving? He said, give me your money and I'll run money? Because if I win, I'll owe $6 million. So if you never see me again, you know, it's been nice. You have to look for me at a Razorback game. I might be in a... Yeah, we'll find you, Nate.

Can we watch and see how? Yeah, that's a good question. We'll talk about, like, what kind of group for updates. A lot of times when people do stuff like this and they have a team, like whether it's telegram or an Instagram feed or whatever. A telegram? I mean, send us on a horse? Yeah, pigeons?

I'll have a feed, whatever's best or Discord or something. We'll do a feed where I have updates just for my team. But then the World Series. Series will be on Poker Go. So, you know, World Series of Poker, they air parts of the main event and the tournaments that are going on right now. Like last night, I was watching clips from the $250,000 buy-in and that finished up last night. But people would have to have the PokerGo app to watch clips of the main event. And then I believe, I don't think they show it on YouTube or anything like that until after it's all said and done. But you can just message me and be like, we're still alive. For sure. And like, you're going to get yourself some of those massages, right? Like, while they're doing. And do you wear sunglasses? I'll need another, you know, a couple, $3,000 a day so I can get full massages. That's what Eddie wants to invest in.

Massage. You do sunglasses? Everybody asks this. And you know what's interesting is I was bringing this up with some of my buddies the other day. I was like, this is the great question because I usually don't wear sunglasses when I play like a cash game or whatever. Because they're not as necessary as people think. But for this main event, I will wear sunglasses a lot of the time because it's important to be a little bit more relaxed, hidden, focused.

So if I'm looking over here, I don't want you to know. Like, you know, I might be looking here, but I'm really looking to see what somebody's going to do with their chips, with their cards. So, yes, I will wear sunglasses. Is there a dress code? Like, could you go in looking like a bank robber? You dress a lot of people.

Some people dress up, but a lot of people wear hoodies, T-shirts. Jerseys, people are real famed. A lot of players wear jerseys to represent their favorite school. So there'll be a day or two. I'll wear an Arkansas jersey. You know, I had my own little all-in marketer t-shirts made up so we'll have fun with it you know you want to be comfortable but a hoodie

hoodie to stay warm always every time I play poker in a casino you carry a hoodie with you so you can be warm you don't want to be cold then they might think you're nervous when you're really just cold and they they call your bluff because you really know no no I'm cold what about music you listen to music while you play ever listen to music while I play uh for this less so than then you know maybe kind of like when I run and I just carry one earpot in my so I can hear if a car's coming. I'll probably do something like that. A little low-key music, calm music.

Believe it or not, a lot of times when I play poker, I listen to worship music just to keep me focused. I'll keep you out on your side. In the flow, in the zone. We've got a stack team, a team of 50, you know, not just Bobby Bones. We've got people like Laura Wilde, who's an NBA mental performance coach.

She's my mental performance coach who's going to help me stay in the zone. Of course, Chris Moneymaker, the owners of card player cruises, who I take a lot of vacations. with and play poker on these card player cruises. Tina and Mark Napolitano, Linda Johnson, who's in the Poker Hall of Fame. She's on my team. So we've got a stack team of people behind us,

and Chris Moneymakers is on a role right now as far as luck. He not only just won first place in a Triton event a couple weeks ago, about a month ago for over a million dollars, but then he won third place in a Triton event a couple days later. And the last couple of weeks, he's had a little piece of a guy named Chance Corneth who lives here in Nashville, who owns Chip Leader coaching,

and Chance has been doing really, really well. I've got third place in a big tournament for about $1.6 million. So me and Chris have been talking, he's got a little bit of luck on his side right now. So we're rolling into this thing with some good vibes and good mojo. I was watching the Money Game with Jimmy Butler, a lot of those guys were playing. You ever play with any celebrities or athletes?

The year after Chris Moneymaker won the main event, we all went out Vegas 2004 for the main event. And, of course, he had a lot of attention. ESPN has showed it every night. for forever and the the poker boom started and so we had cash games with ben Affleck Toby McGuire got to play with them two or three nights and one of the night finished the game broke because Ben Affleck tried to bluff Chris and Chris thought about it forever and ever and ever finally called him with like a five-high flush on a paired board and the game broke

and we're like great Chris and he busted Ben Affleck and Toby McGuire I'll never forget he played really tight now this was before the Molly the Molly's game movie that was centered around Toby McGuire. And it's interesting because the experience I had with Toby, he hardly ever played a hand. He treated it like he was, you know, playing with his last $10,000. And so we had fun, and there's been other games with just, you know, different celebrities and stuff. But, you know, not as much.

I used to run private games here in Nashville, and don't mention that to anybody. Hey, the house doesn't get a cut. Everybody's legal. Exactly, exactly. We had Tennessee Titan players come play with us and stuff. Speaking of Titans, we've got Matt Rogers, the public address announcer. for the Titans. He's on the 50 at 50 team. So yeah. Cool, man. Are you in still? Oh, I'm very in. You can tell your wife? No. And now we've got Eddie on board. And she'll wonder too.

Like, why are you so invested in this poker game? Like, don't worry about it. You are a digital marketer as a daytime job. Yeah, I do that. I enjoy helping businesses, especially people that have home-based businesses or a small business just starting up, you know, help them with their marketing, their branding, just helping them get more attention. Created a brand called All-In Marketer, helping them just kind of create what the, understand what their all-in moment is as far as like maybe you need to get better on Facebook

or Instagram or just need a better brand. You know, I've helped people put together multiple six-figure and seven-figure brands, just working with them one-on-one. With the main event, how, what's the maximum of hours you can play in a day? 12 to 14. They usually start around noon,

11 or 12 a.m., go to 1 or 2 in the morning. I played a tournament once in Vegas. What was the old casino had the big boat in front of it? Treasure Island. Treasure Island. It's the only tournament I've ever won. And I play in turn it. And it was, I swear to God, 11 hours long.

Just to get to the final table. Then it ended pretty quick once we got to the final table. I was dead. Because you got 15 minute breaks. No, five minute breaks, I think. Just to go to the bath. I was dead when it was over. Lunchbox came in and watched when it started.

And then he went to the club. Then after the club, he showed up with two like Asian girls. Showed up at the table like five hours later. And it was like, what up? drunk and then later on in the morning we were finishing came back again. No Asian girls with him this time. I had two Asian girls. It was the craziest and

he just came and he kept coming back to see if I was still alive and to win is to win a whole tournament is lucky. Like you really have to have some to be a good player is not just about luck. What do you say to people who go well it's all luck card is all luck? They're right in the short term. In any one hour

window it's probably 90% luck 10% skill and they're wrong. about the long term. If you play, I plan on playing the next 10 to 15 main events as long as I'm healthy. I'm going to start doing this every year. We'll put together a team every year. And you play 10 main events or 10 tournaments. It's, you know, 80% skill, 20% luck, whatever. There's no exact percentage. But you play 100 tournaments and it's 99.9% skill, you know, 0.01% luck. I can, I can play cash game poker the rest of my life and it's 100% skill. I can't lose. I can lose on any given night, any given week, you can have a losing month. But at the end of a certain number of

hours, whatever that is, once you understand the fundamentals of poker, you know, you leave winner at the end of, you know, 100, 200, 300 hours. Generation Y, what is it and why is that important to you? So I used to host a show on Clubhouse called The Social Media Show. For a couple years, we met every morning and we did, you know, the social media talk. I brought in a whole team of influencers and business owners, and we just taught social media stuff and met a good in mind Marcus Black, who's a motivational speaker and a motivational speaker, I went out on my end, but I guess you guys say. Yeah, we can still hear you.

And Marcus Black is involved with an organization called Generation Y. They're based in Oklahoma City, but they go around to different states and schools, and they go into the inner cities, and they work with kids who, you know, kids who need help most, maybe they're dealing with mental health issues, bullying, and they go in and they basically dig, you know, dig kids out of the deepest issues that they're going through. through and they go in and entertain them, talk to them, work with them one-on-one. And so they have a call, have a hat on with the MC. It's called the Millionaire Club. And they're basically, over the next 10 years, hoping to get a million people to donate five bucks to help them keep

going around the country. They've been to several states, and they help kids, you know, that are on the verge of the worst possible thoughts of an end in their life or whatever. And they go in, and they've been able to take kids out of some of the deepest, darkest times and turn them around into productive members of society. And so it means a lot to me. We're going to take a piece of all these entries and already donating to Generation Y. And then I'm going to take 2% of anything I win and give it to Generation Y. And so I appreciate everything. Marcus and Jordan over at Generation Y are doing to do that. And I actually have a link on my website at Nateforst.com. It's just at the top. If anybody wants to give five bucks, it goes directly to the front lines of people going into the

schools and talking to kids that need to help you know need us the most how far do you have to get before we make some money it's about two and a half days so day three sometimes it's a start of day three some some years the main event's a little bit different but two and a half days give or take a few hours each way it could be late day three it could be early day three and once you make the money it's 20,000 you're guaranteed and then you're on a complete free roll let's go baby when does this start when's the world starts start so day There's so many people in the main event. There's around 10,000 people in the main event that they have four different day ones.

10,000 people. I didn't realize that. Wow, wow, wow. There's a lot of racers out there. Four different day one. So the first day is July 3rd. My birthday's July 5th. So I'm going to play the third day one.

Unless I decided to play the Moneymaker main event before, which is a $1,700 main event over at MGM. That would push me back to the fourth day one, which would be July 6th. So we'll be playing on either July 5th or. July 6th for sure. And then it's a basically a seven or eight day journey to win it. We'll be on vacation anyway. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Perfect.

You want to go to Vegas for a little bit? I wish. How cool would that be? It would be pretty cool. Eddie, are you in? I'm in. I'm in, but let me ask, Nate, let me ask you this. Since you are being backed...

Just add 100 bucks to this 10K right here. Look at that. Okay, I flip your coin for that 10K. Flip. So since you're being backed financially, does it make you a little less stressed going into this? Or does it make you, could you be playing a little more careless? That's a really good question.

I think there's going to be moments of both. For the most part, it's not because, you know, I mean, it's only $100. It doesn't mean anything to, you know, you guys. No, but also I thought about this and I'm like, it's going to be a little, I've got 50 people on my side instead of like four or five. So I'm going to be a little bit more nervous because it would be really cool to perform for the whole team. for myself, even though I have $5,000 invested, I mean, I've played tournaments, you get knocked out.

If you get pocket aces cracked, some idiot gets all in with, you know, a six and a seven of hearts and he gets, he beats you. That's what Eddie does. That's what he does. You know, whatever. If that happens, you get all in with a set of kings, you flop three kings, and they have an eight high flush draw, and then you get all the chips in and they beat you. So for my money, that just is what it is.

It stings, it kind of sucks, but it just is what it is. You move on to the next, you go down the street to the wind or the Orleans, and you play a little cash that night and you get the 10K back. But for the team, yeah, there'll be a little bit of, you know,

a little bit more anxiety just because I want to perform for the team, for sure, for sure. Kevin, are you wanting it or no? No, I think I'm out.

The more we talk about it, the more I'm like, I'm going to put Kevin's name instead of my wife because she'll kill me. Oh, really? She's like, I don't want to be in a poker and match.

Why not? That's what she'll say. She can win some big money, man. Well, she'll get the money anyway if I want it. That's true. I don't get any of it.

No, you get none of it. Name image and likeness of my name. You're not in college. Dang it. Reed? Nah, no, I can't. Okay. So you're the names we're going to use that.

Me, heaven, and Reed. Okay. We're going to use those names. And then, so it starts the fifth or the sixth. We should probably be rich by the ninth. Yeah, by the ninth. By the 12th. A 12th?

12th. 12, 13th. There's a day, there's always a day break after like a, there's basically four days. one's two day two days off before we even play our day twos. Oh, dang, okay. And then you're playing every day. So you play like four or five days in a row until you get to the final table. And then you take another day off for the final table. Yeah, it's, it's eight, nine, 10 days long. So hopefully. Hey, worth it for us. I'm calling my shot. We're going to be rich.

Yeah, dude. You got, you got the exclusive interview with the 2024 main event champion. I also didn't know that I was like stealing people's spots by sending them $300. I was like, I'm in for more percentages. He was like, 100 bucks. I'm like, yeah. You know, I told my sister Rachel who's here with me today. I was like, yeah, Bobby missed the assignment. Yeah, I was like, you guys know me. You give me a shot and I want to get in. I want multiple shots.

He's like, Rachel, you're out. Bones, did you know there were 10,000 entries? Yeah, oh, yeah. I mean, yeah, sure. That doesn't affect me. Last year was the record. They had a, I can't remember if it was just under 10,000, just over 10,000, but they broke the record last year.

Before that, it was like 7,500 to 8,500 each year. When Chris won it in 2003, there was only like 800-something entries. And then they had the poker boom. And the next year, it had like 24. 25, 2,600 entries. Dang. And then every year it's been kind of like when they shut down the poker sites online a few years ago,

it kind of went down. Now it's on another upswing now. Why do you think the payouts so big at the end? No, I know. That sounds like a lot of people. Hey, that's all we're hiring him. That's our dude. It's our dude right there.

All right, cool. Well, appreciate you coming in. Yeah. We're excited that this is how we're going to get rich. We thought about how it's going to happen, but this is how. This is it. Never would have seen it coming.

Never would have seen it coming. take Venmo, Nate, or do you have to get cash for you? All of it. All the above. Okay, perfect. And next year, the next year we'll make it bigger. You know, maybe get a bigger piece and, you know, if we don't win it this year, maybe we'll win it next year. If you have 20% of it, and you win 2.4 million next year instead of just $300,000 this year. I'll tell you what, if we win this year, we're going to go big next year. But I would like to finish off by anybody that's listening out there, you know,

that hasn't played the World Series of Poker or you haven't played poker, maybe you don't like going to a casino because of what y'all joked about. People get lucky and beat you.

If you haven't heard the story, Reed was winning so much on Draft Kings. He called them. He called the 800 number and had him shut down his account because he enjoyed it so much. He was winning. I've never heard of that before. I retired, man. He retired because he was winning too much. Football season's coming back, Reed. I can't. I can't. I can't do it.

You're not going to do it at all? I can't. What is the way? I like it too much. Yeah. I would do some stupid. That is responsible. Okay, cool.

Thank you. No, and it's really, really cool, man. watching the, there was a lot of swimming, but now they're on the track. That's the good stuff. This guy, so fast. They're fast. Kevin? Remember I told you my dad and sister went to the parade, the Celtics parade? It was a crazy parade.

Yeah, and my sister went to Oregon, so she brought an Oregon flag, and Peyton Pritchard went to Oregon. And he's a big Oregon guy. And then, so he saw the flag as they're going by, came down, grabbed the flag from her, took it throughout the rest of the parade, brought it into the garden. They were taking pictures with the flag inside of the garden. They took like a picture of them sleeping on the flag. My sister's flag went on the parade with him in the garden. She messaged his friend was like, hey, that's my flag.

And he's like, we lost it. I'm sorry. We'll give you something signed if you want. That's cool. That's really cool. Yeah, that's cool. But that does suck that it's gone, though. That was her flag too.

Yeah, but you see pictures? You're like, that's my flag. Reed? I'm just, I'm shocked at how better I performed at the workout that we did because of the last two months. I was 100% sure I was going to die And I did die a little bit But he did pretty good

I'm proud of myself Katie anything you want to say Nothing new for me I went and saw a movie this weekend What'd you see The Watchers It's an M. Knight Shamaun I like those movies for the most part
