Double Episode? How long is that, 4 hours?

omg omg omg it's 110.7 mb!

Oops!!! - 'How much ya got' mess-up. So Adam and I did our guesses off the air for the 'How much ya got' question with Phil Galfond but our original guesses never made the final cut of the program.

I guessed $350 and Adam guessed $1142. Find out if I crushed his soul. Our bad.

Im 110% certain this cant be anything but the best episode ever. Such sick lineup! Thank you guys for this.

Jesus thats too long imo

^^^ BANDWIDTH NIT..

was waiting patiently for this episode. thanks guys!

Great show guys.I'm new at 2+2 and I luv the show. I'm looking forward to donkin it up in this weeks F/R.

Good luck all

That's what she said.

Started listening to the show, Slim plead guilty to misdemeanor assault to a 12 year old girl.

Lubarsky's caption is

Edler didn't cash in any tournaments last year, and in a nearly chip and chair moment, Michael Martin went from 95k 4-handed (when the BB was 80k) to winning EPT London last year.

My computer almost ASPLODED while downloading this, better be worth it.

If not, let me know and I'll get Mason to give you a refund.

I don't watch Entourage, though I did vote for the current Miss OOT who is apparently on that show, so I didn't really listen to the last third or so of the show.

The rest was solid though, IMO.

was it just me, or was the the strategy segment from Leggo Poker (about 1:38:00 remaining) MIA?

It goes from the segment theme to the leggo poker ad, to the stars ad.

I meant to add that I didn't mind the Entourage thing, I just wasn't personally interested since I've never seen the show. The Steve Albini interview was great as was Norm MacDonald if you put him in that category. Having people famous for other stuff that also happen to play poker, even if they don't play much or huge games or whatever, is a great way to mix the show up.

Looks like the engineer may have not edited the segment in. So much going on in the studio last night.

Deciding now whether to re-upload the show with the Isura strat segment in or save it for next week so the people who have already downloaded the show don't
a) miss it altogether or
b) have to download the new version.

Sorry about that Isura, Leggo et al.

ty for making the "jamie gold's inspiration" question

Good job, guys. Best show this year so far ;-) Loved the interview with Steve Cyr also. Keep up the great work.

Adam u announce your fat on air but afrid to look dumb at least make bunner ask the question,

Can you post the segment stand alone, but still update the full show for future downloaders?

Great! Keep up!

If we posted the strat segment stand alone, it would become a new episode on itunes and replace the Full episode and people who aren't aware of the glitch will get really confused, so we either have to replace the original version with a new version or just put the segment in next weeks show.

LOL @ The Hills.

What about posting the update on the 2+2 embedded version and leaving the iTunes version alone? In next week's show you can mention where to find it. Hell, even make the freeroll pw related to the missing segment.
