Recently he was talking bout how there are too many phils in poker so they should all play a cash game and the biggest loser has to change his name to mike.
as far as i know he analyzes the hands so stapes can talk about them, and he also helps write the jokes since he has a handle on the goings on on 2+2 forums and such.probably gives stapes the ideas for most of the "inside" jokes
Stapleton is extremely humorous, but not in a Norman Chad kind of way. More importantly, his knowledge of the game borders on insanity. He analyzes hands better than any other poker media personality. Does anyone think Vince Van Patten knows enough about poker to mention the effects of "a bloated strattled pot" like Joe does. I only saw a few episodes of "the Big Game", but Stapes jumped right out. His work is phenominal. I hope he gets to an even bigger stage. He deserves it.
For redsox04: I think what gobbo meant to say was, "I can't believe he doesn't know that I provide all of the poker insight to Stapes! I never get credit for any of this stuff! Don't you guys watch the credits? I'm the Poker Police!"
He tilts me to hell when he talks about "statisticly" when it's preflop, while he should say mathematically. (eg. "kings are statisticly 85% dog against aces")

If you can't even spell "statistically", it may be best to avoid commenting on its usage in a sentence.
