File not found on chrome

Looking forward to listening. Anyone got a link to the ridiculous trailer of ADZ's mtv reality show pilot? Was really funny iirc

Wooo nice gonna listen to it on the drive home from work good timing to!

There is a known issue with Chrome and media served from Amazon AWS (such as the pokercast.) I cannot explain why it works sometimes and not other times, but this is a Chrome (or perhaps Amazon) issue that is outside of our control. As I understand it, it works fine with all other browsers.

Whoop, there it is!

Never been in the top 10 before. Sad it was due to family matters intervening.

Anyway, looking forward to hearing from Barry G. I see him from time to time at Commerce and these interviews almost make it seem like I know him personally.

I'm also interested in the David Schwartz segment. I like it when you dig down into some of the intricacies of the industry to which casual players aren't exposed.

Burp!

Nice one, should be good!

Oh very nice since i cant sleep. Hope everything is well w ur dad adam

Thoughts and Prayers are with your father and family. All the best!!!

Thanks for the chrome explanation.

It may just be me, but ADZ came off as incredibly full of himself in this interview. Hard to differentiate between him describing his accomplishments and him outright bragging.

Wasn't just you. The interview was also way too long, IMO. Thankfully, the rest of the show was great.

Didn't even get to start listening to it yet.

I have always been intrigued by ADZ...he may be full of himself and a punk but ever since I watched him play at PCA a few years back I have kept an eye on him...look forward to listening.

Good wishes for Dad.

Matt's interview: Tried hard to not find it offensive. Probably a lot of it has to do with being a social worker dwelling in the trenches. 700 for a bottle of grape. 2 grand for a nice dinner. 1.7 mill for a carbon footprint.

While I respect his ability I'd sure like to see him take a page out of Barry G's playbook and set up some sort of community based endeavor. Pay it forward, so to speak.

That's all.

Marafioti is an incredibly humble kid. So humble that I think you have to say he is the humblest guy in the world.

Did you guys know that pokerstars gave adz 50k to do a show?

Huuuummmmmm... Crush???

Great show. howly 3hrs... Felt like 2 shows in 1.

Adam just wanted to send my condolences to you and the Schwartz Family.

Cant believe this is just coming up about chrome; no wonder 20% of the shows are inaccessible for me...

You guys could say something on a the next few pokercasts to give regs a heads up as Chrome is quickly becoming the dominant browser among many.

the douchey guy is hard to listen to

14:1 for epic poker league failing. And even worse odds for anyone using chrome to try and access anything.
