0:50 the lifestyle or he doesn't like the religion or the ethnicity part of it he doesn't like Jewish does he like the Attitude Era oh yeah he subscribed so long as our fans stay subscribed yeah but 2023 it might be the gentleman era so we have to know we have to figure that out in January the gentleman area attitude's kind of short then huh are you calling audibles right now without meetings yeah we need to have a creative meeting for this for sure no it's okay I choose it you all need top hats oh yeah so it's it's been a while since you've been here um that's the believe all women side now okay this is the 26. always yeah okay that's the ████ up biracial NWA side let's go let's go ████ the police yeah it's been two years since I've been on

1:41 this two years how does it feel to be back I don't know it feels kind of the same but different yeah yeah but your life has changed tremendously the last two years like you're super focused on poker now yeah so proud of you it's so amazing seeing her journey it's so ████ cool you don't know well I don't know how like it just happened and uh and then it just kept happening what a game plan yeah it's a habit what was the first because I remember when you were slowly getting into it you're like I'm gonna read a book I'm like really like do it the right way what was the first like game because you played poker before right what was the first game that you're like okay but now it's not for fun yeah I'm gonna be a poker player game uh when I went to a public casino to play it for the first time like a public Casino so I played like

2:32 home a lot of home games and stuff and then like I played in Vegas once before but it was a tournament and it was back in like 2007 and no one knew what they were really doing and um I don't know it was like I didn't yeah I didn't know before in a tournament that's how you start you just yeah but but the thing was I didn't even know it was a tournament I just was thought because I'd only played home games I just was like whatever we're playing poker like I didn't really think about it I played poker in a tournament when I first started this is about her right now eliminated right away though that's a good story I got eliminated too right away it was Aces vs Ace King and I had Ace King and this is all in immediately it was like she remembers everything this is how we're this is what movies are written about I know this is why I'm good at poker I remember everything everyone did pre-flop action on every hand and I remember whether or not they

3:22 did that with two pair or Flash or if they're bluffing or if the frequencies which they Bluff they're like I can like I can they're like Queens Gambit but you just see cards yeah honestly I mean it's not as visual but yeah like in my head yeah that's tight it's like you know every I get in front available for socially like when someone's telling a story and I'm like that wait that part didn't make sense or that there was a hole in that story or this like little Minor Detail was off or that's inaccurate that people are like shut the ████ up I'm trying to tell a story it doesn't matter that all works with poker because it's just like it's like looking at people's stories what kind of story they're trying to tell and whether or not it makes sense and if it makes sense then I believe them if it doesn't make sense even like a little bit doesn't make sense what's an example you're ████ Steve she's gonna know your whole track record this is what I'm telling you guys no you left the toilet seat up you ████ dude I'm telling you on a Wednesday at 7 48

4:13 a.m that's hard Gaslight autism I think that helped too I think those episodes embracing my office is really awesome last night you were definitely The Attitude Era last night you were in a hand against a dude and and he was he was bluffing you right what was going on which one you're telling me I don't remember all the time how did you know he was bluffing like okay so there's like little things like like let's say bed sizing toes like everyone has a tail and I just observed for like the first like I don't know 15 minutes of sitting at a table and to get everyone's kind of feel of how they play the game and so like this guy he always bets kind of small when he has it to get value out of you out of like your hands everybody would come out of it he's betting big to try to get you off your hand so I just call

5:03 him down when he bets big if I have something that like a hero call you know if I have something small but if you bet small and I don't have a strong hand then I fold so it's like I believe him when he's betting small but I don't believe him when he's betting big because he just gave his all his toes away so his story didn't make sense when he got big whoa so it's kind of like that and you keep track of everybody's thing yeah at the same time that's cool what do you think that guy is thinking like this ████ ████ is on to me [Laughter] she's a chick they're all like oh this ████ doesn't know the ████ going on yeah where's I pretend I'm not paying attention a lot too I have my headphones on but no music's playing and like I'm on my phone I also try to get people to talk a lot if I'm not sure if they have it I get them to talk I start like calling out

5:53 ████ like what do you have ████ floors pack of Threes you can't possibly have jacked it and like and I see like the way they react even like their breathing changes like you can pick up on that and I don't know yeah and if they seem pretty confident or like they seem unbothered by my questions they're probably strong but if they kind of like they don't know how to react they start breathing heavier I'm like I'm like all right I had to transcribe you dude I'm just like oh my God I feel like I'm so nervous right now I can't I can't give any tells do you think there's something that separates high-level players from like regular casual players yeah absolutely and what would that be mostly balancing the ranges like being able to balance when they have a good hand in their Bluffs like and being able to Bluff at a

6:43 high enough frequency so it's more subtle instead of like really don't get any reads on them yeah so if they're autistic as well too they're like pretty much if they're fully autistic is that what is the autistic championships yeah there's like the highest levels honestly the community is all ADHD and autistic like one or the other or both if you're playing poker and you don't want anyone to give your reads you just have to be neutral all the time huh yeah like it's a lot of the way GTO play which is Game Theory optimal is like is being able to balance all of that whoa yeah that's so crazy what causes Joe have would that help if you were playing with something like this or is that considered cheating people do play with sunglasses but I think you should probably tell by how they breathe it's not even like I don't even care about the eyes people think the eyes are so

7:33 important but it's really your breathing pattern your neck pulsating and your hands like they get more fidgety if I do this the whole game yeah their leg starts bouncing like a lot of them because they're ████ ADHD they're like they when they're bluffing their leg ████ bounces out of ████ control if I do this the whole time then it doesn't matter it's called security is there any time someone's doing too much that you're like I can't get a read because he's just constantly doing ████ is that everything no wow see someone doesn't get the game but you also can't do that for like eight hours you can't they can't sustain that yeah you can't have like a harmonica you know what they try to do sometimes people like that they talk a lot and then uh when they're in a when they're really strong they or they're trying to Bluff or whatever it is they try to mimic what their normal behavior is but it's like it's like hyper oh my God

8:26 [Laughter] Steve describes your skill he really makes it sound like highly raid Manish do you have like he's talking about like a disability he uses vernacular like that okay that's funny but like is it true I'm mostly talking about how I'm kind of the Tom Cruise cool guy yeah but we know that's true but like do you have do you think like uh do you have any other social quirks outside of Poker that seem like you're autistic well yeah that like pointing out the gaps in store you know how annoying I've been to people who like he's had to train me to stop doing that because I'd be like they'd be like yeah so it was like 4 P.M I'm like no no it

9:16 was 2 p.m when you did that and that doesn't matter it doesn't matter to the story I'm like but it's just inaccurate like shut us all down you're a good eyewitness then to a cop if like you saw a crime you should be a detective is it technically like uh so it's almost as if like you memorize all the details but then some of them don't really like affect the story but those still like hey that was an actor I gotta call it out yeah so there's there's that they're an accuracy there's also like um you like being able to eliminate things like uh you know in in the game when JK Party The Who The what's up are you who am I I like always could guess it like really fast and people at JK party were like she's cheating she saw the car but it really

10:07 is this skill of being able to eliminate things very quickly so when someone's betting and I'm like they wouldn't have opened they they could were they trying to represent six nine off like they wouldn't have opened with that from early position like it doesn't make sense to the story like deductive reasonings yeah I'm like I'm like well I've taken away six nine I'm taken away um Jack 10. I like there's nothing else you could have that beats me so I call you know so but you're doing it really fast because if they're opening from a certain position they have a certain range of hands that they're opening with and it's usually tighter the earlier the position is so if an early position is trying to represent some junk ass hand it just doesn't work but if a later position is representing that I kind of believe them I'm like well they don't have they probably don't have the better hands but they might have this junk ass hand so so how is that ability and

10:57 mentality like either improved or like uh complicated your um relationship with Steve it just has not changed it has probably taken the spotlight that's true on the poker that is more fruitful you're like thank God for a place off my case yeah take the attention away from the toilet seat for ████ sake there was this funny uh situation where um like I met you here ages ago I think I was coming in as a guest and you were just leaving that day and that's like when I officially like met you yeah and then we shook with the left hand and then this other time everything but I don't remember that very forgettable and then there was other time I ran into you guys at like the Hollywood Cemetery during like the Friends reunion special yeah yeah yeah and then I was like hey what's up how's it going and then like uh I was good I went to go say hi to you

11:47 yeah and then you you went like this and started looking at stuff and I went okay yeah yeah I don't I don't like you I remember thinking like the point of the story I was like was I being weird and then and then as I like became a regular here and got to know Steve and he was describing you I was like oh maybe like you sound like maybe you're just kind of like yeah ████ and yeah so how do you like take it personally so that's why you're like yeah are there any other social clerks that you have uh you're trying to get an answer it's not me right people you don't like yeah um well I mean 80 I mean Joe would know what the ADHD it was like uh I'm undiagnosed like you're kind of like he's maintaining like if something's not hyper focused on you're just like all over the place like I'm in my own world most of the time yeah thinking about 1

12:37 000 other things than what is in front of me but if there's something that can take all of my attention then it has my whole Focus like I am not thinking about anything else but that um so it's one or the other not to make it sound uh worse but sometimes like I'm like hey babe you've been stuck for a little while and she's like oh yeah okay and she's like been standing there she's just been staying in there for like 45 minutes yeah it's like a long time wow just tell her nothing no she's like doing she's like fixated on something visualizing what dining room table I want in that space and like whether or not I should paint the walls and like what that color would look like and yeah I get really frustrated though 32 minute Mark and you're like I'll give her one more minute well no because sometimes if I do it if I do it too early then she's like yo I'm in my thing demand do anything but then if it's if it's been enough time where she just needs me to bump her

13:27 out of it it's like tomorrow oh yeah okay hey Alexa time what Nikki's doing it's like a screensaver he's gonna move the mouse yeah yeah basically but dude um you know knowing that like it helps me because I know how to how to like talk to her about all that stuff yeah uh I get really frustrated with that too with myself because I can't like time manage well because I think like oh I have like three hours and then like I'm like where the ████ did two hours go because I was just spaced out like thinking about oh I should I should do a drone shot of me in the jacuzzi wood and then I should do a video about it about like because there's a lot of things I want to talk about this jacuzzi but that I've found out over the past years and people might want to know about that if they're buying an inflatable jacuzzi oh ████ it's nothing to do with my day it's just gone and I'm like wait oh no I

14:18 had so much time it's gone so with such a good memory how do you keep forgetting you already bought pillows for the bed I don't follow true it's it's out of spite now premeditated he said about you I I didn't know that he was gonna air our Dirty Laundry about our marriage being so terrible rocks um when I met Steve and we first started dating he had an air mattress with one pillow which was sweat stained no pillowcases no sheets no sheets oh God on the plastic blanket that was a fleece blanket not even a comforter he's a simple man still ████ him and I still came back

19:00 like I yeah and I never was into it okay here's the thing I was never a pillow person never thought I would be a pillow person didn't understand it but then Pinterest came about and I was like yeah I was like I get it damn these people damn them to help okay before it was like catalogs like okay that's unreasonable I'm never gonna get to that level but then these regular ass people were doing [Laughter] so they got became a competition what else did you get for six bucks yeah you want to talk about the savings sponsor the customers at Costco the concept because we were struggling with a little bit of having the tray at the foot of the bed with the candle in

19:50 the book that nobody reads it's ████ art it's okay so here's you could have just said the coffee table it looks like okay on the bed I never even used to make my bed and then I was like I'm gonna be the pro one day it was like 2015. I was like I'm an adult it's a new year I wanna I wanna be a type of person that makes my bed you know I heard that like really sets the day you know and we were work I was working at home full time and I was like I really like I walk in my bedroom a lot and that's the other thing people were like you don't even go when you break no I go in my bedroom a lot I walk out my bedroom a lot and I like walking in it's like ah it looks nice in here so I started making my bed but it didn't look like the catalog so it didn't make me happy it's like why not even do that work it doesn't even look good it just ████ stupid plain ass bed it doesn't look good let them know so then I started adding pillows and I was like

20:40 this ████ fills my heart with joy those are all Rejoice yeah you ████ dicks those books on the tray they hold a candle and it smells good yeah senses when I walk okay okay visually yes like sensually I'm in love with my environment essentially I get it that's a big deal I get it now that she explains it dude you guys are all sentenced doesn't that sound nice narcos on the wall this dude ████ velcro's a monkey picture on it not just one monkey picture many monkey pictures the safety strip was right yeah because his chair keeps on hitting it on one side yeah cause I'm too close in the

21:30 corner he's like he told me the story he's like he's out he's our place he's like dude your chair is way too ████ close to the court I'm like nah that's fine and I keep hitting the ████ button I keep hitting my monkey pictures off so that's why it's just the velcro strip on one side and then the frame on the other that's such a classic guy shape like you're causing a problem continuously but you're like no it's fine that's fine well they're called command strips not velcro oh I didn't know that was military Bridge dude it is it is show some perspective this this adhesive it's like they make hooks they make it you know it's the it's actually the double-sided adhesive and you have the velcro command strips this is ████ velcro this is the the hole in the store it's like inaccurate you tried to correct me and I was right but is it the command brand it's the command brand it is it's like red button it's a velcro the velcro version Oh we

22:22 should keep talking about okay well bought some I never used how can we get deeper into this yeah well they're they don't have do they work well they don't have command picture frames that's the biggest problem that's demonstrated by the story I bought a pack of 20 that I never used it actually worked well if you stay within the weight capacity yeah so if you buy the 2.2 reel dude the 2.5 pounds time frames it's not gonna work this is for our listeners what products do you like at Walmart I'm an art collector but I never hung it up because I bought the command strips and I was worried is that on the wall only or maybe on the bed I have it in a stack and uh getting it ready put some in our place too they actually work good no okay I still want to know what else can you get it at Walmart dude at Walmart the first company that makes us anything where I can hit it with my ████ computer chair and it doesn't go off the wall I'm buying it it's called a nail hmm [Music]
