Sorry but I think Liv is an idiot. Hate his politics and he has said some really stupid things. But love this pokercast even if I can't play poker in the states.

They said 'shocking' but then quickly said, 'we'll post some real numbers and get back to that one later' and literally laughed it off the screen. I was watching with my wife and we laughed as well. So don't go on life-tilt on that election coverage.


Cheers
It's true that Mansbridge openly mocked some of the reports when they had numbers from a single polling station within a riding.

Great Show as usual. I did find it weird that Liv kept stressing his desire to learn to fight. Seemed to go beyond activities in the ring but I could be wrong

I'm confused about what Liv plans on doing with his life that "acquiring fighting skills" is something useful.

I used to box, and I understand the competition aspect of "fighting sports" and the mental and physical benefits gained by participating, but in this modern relatively civilized era, what benefit does "Fighting" really have?

When I went to karate class when I was younger. It was ingrained in us from the beginning that we were not supposed to use these karate techniques on our friends on the playground. Instead it was more of a personal mental/physical growth we were gaining. I feel like maybe Liv needs a similar speech.

Maybe Terrance can comment on whether I'm completely off base on this, but I feel like most people do not do MMA or any "fighting" sport to become better fighters outside of the ring.

What a great stab by Terrance at Jack.

No pokercast this week?

OB's explanation of wanting something at the end in order to motivate him to learn to fight I find questionable. Any serious gym he trains at will have more than one man, woman or young athlete more than ready to step into a house ring with him and GnP him if that is what he's seeking.

Could even be someone at his own level in most gyms. I've enjoyed listening to OB in the past, but thought the fight interview was weak on his part. His mentioning of "monetizing" the fight superseded his reason of wanting to "learn to fight". Kudos to him though, he has a goal.

Enjoy the show as always, excellent work by all three of you.

That's a pity! Always look forward to going into iTunes on a friday (living in Dublin, Ireland) before work and downloading the latest episode.

Excellent show with liv and ryan spittles, 2 interesting guests. Really enjoying the Roscoe report each week and it's great to listen to yourself and Terence break down hands. More of this please.

Keep up the great work

There are a million podcasts out there to pick from, if this one draws your ire so much why bother?
Lloyd's back on his high horse....

Looking forward to this one!

I know you are sometimes in a difficult position and it can be awkward to ask challenging questions the stars reps in that segment but I think this week there needs to be no mention of Neymar, Ronaldo etc bull****; they need to explain themselves properly with regards to the recent announcements. Listener submitted questions would be great if at all possible.

It would be great to have one or more interviews with people that will be affected the most as well as the stars segment - I imagine their opinions will be very different. Ansky wrote a great post in NVG and he would be a good person to have on imo.
