... and sometimes someone who is interesting and funny might be a horrible interview. What's your point?

My point is you don't *know* which way it will go until after you do it.

Actually the point is that peoples' tastes are different, so what one person finds interesting is boring to someone else.

The great thing about Joey's interviews is that they are with a cross section of people in the poker world, some interviews work for me, others don't, but that is cool, I can disregard the ones that aren't too relevant for me, and can focus on the ones that do have an interest.

I always remember a chat show host saying in an interview the skill of interviewing is "feigning interest". Many of the guys Joey interviews are not used to being interviewed, so he does a great job in showing interest and enthusiasm in them, to make the interview as constructive as possible.

So it is easy for people to troll, but pointless, as the trolls wishes could be met and endless interviews with the type of person they want be run, but then other people would start complaining their interests aren't being met.

So it is democracy, freedom of choice and speech, liberty and diversity and equality in action, so tedious trolls, stfu!

God bless Joey's shows, and all who sail on them.

NEW INVESTIGATION





PODCAST SCHEDULE

Andrew Lichtenberger TODAY 6pm EST
Sam Soverel Saturday 6pm EST
Dan Zack Next Weds
Doug Polk Next Week

looked innocent to me but i'm a donk so what do i know? lol

Exactly. If the majority of the guests don’t want to talk Poker then great. But at least have entertaining stories or talk about things people can empathize with or relate to. If you weren’t fans of the guests or knew that they’re worth millions of dollars, would you listen to the podcasts?

I go to any of jr podcasts, not know a damn thing about the guest or a real interest in their field of expertise and still walk away entertained and informed. That’s why jr podcasts have millions of views and subscriptions and Joey only has 80k subs and most of the pods have less than 25k views.

I have a lot of thoughts on this and can understand where you are coming from w/ some of your thoughts.

I'm not concerned w/ getting a lot of views for my podcasts. I would use a much different overall strategy. I enjoy having long form conversations w/ a variety of people in the poker world. Some well known, some not well known. I like to give people a platform to express themselves in different ways, that isn't going to be the most "popular" route to take in terms of maximum exposure and it's a sacrifice I'm fine w/ making. I might deviate from the strategy at some point if priorities change.

If people don't like it or don't want to watch I understand, I know how to get people to watch if that is what I am going after. It's a simple formula for that.

You've brought up some interesting points in your posts, I don't think you're very informed about me or my content but your points are still valid and I can learn from them.

I'm not sure if people realize but getting views on YT isn't hard to do in the poker space, if I wanted to only put up videos that get 50k-100k+ views I could do that pretty easily w/ a shift in content/marketing strategy. If I was to do that, I wouldn't be able to have a majority of guests on the show or talk about certain topics on videos which I don't have interest in doing at this moment.

Podcast rungood is a thing right? Daniel Strelitz does the podcast, wins a bracelet. Easy game.

Thank you for replying. We have different opinions but that doesn’t mean we can’t talk about it and try to find a middle ground without either of us calling eachother trolls or haters. So yeah, ty for that.

Obv this is your content and you can do whatever you please. Im just giving you a perspective as a viewer, not content creator. I’m a firm believer that constructive criticism is necessary for improvement / honest feed back is good even if it can be harsh at times... nobody itt or in yt comments was telling it like it is... which is why I spoke up.

If you made controversial yt videos about poker then obv less guests would come on your show. There’s a fine line and of course you’re going to **** it up sometimes and some guests won’t return. But the videos I’ve seen you seem to walk on egg shells and think no opinion or follow up questions is better than insulting a guest or making them feel uncomfortable... which doesn’t make for an unbiased podcast.

Foxen is a pretty good, recent example. He and his gf clearly ****ed up, made a series of large mistakes. Instead of owning up to it he doubled down with a backer/horse analogy trying to justify their shady behavior. You didn’t call him out on it when the poker community (your viewer base) obv thinks what they did is wrong. Listening to a biased podcast isn’t interesting to me

LIVE W/ LUCKYCHEWY SHORTLY

interesting to know why he was so sure that it was unintentional. please, ask for the form of acting of heath, even if it can not be illegal, it looks malicious to be HU in that same hand. I do not think anyone will admit it, but I'd like you to ask at least

We discussed it right at the beginning.

Enjoyed the investigation vid, as usual.

BTW Joey, ask someone how to pronounce "egregious" haha.

from his body language it looks like he did it on purpose.

I don't get it, is this Sam Soverel **** some sort of like self-aware meta parody of the fact that people love to make drama out of absolutely nothing in the poker community ? Must be missing something.

It's such an obvious honest mistake. Maybe you can criticize him for making that mistake in such a big tournament but at this point you are criticizing another human being for making a mistake so just understand how douchey that makes you look.

It looks like he was embarrassed, ashamed, and guilty for doing it at all, not that it was on purpose.


****ing internet man, where everybody pretends like they are perfect human beings who've never embarrassed themselves or made a mistake. Yea, I'm sure you've never awkwardly but 100% genuinely went for a handshake or waved at somebody who wasn't directing their attention at you and your reaction and body language afterwards wasn't the emotional embodiment of wanting to flash everybody with the MIB memory erasing stick immediately.

this happened a bit on the stickyrice1 podast. i might need to re-watch, my frame of mind has been bonkers in the past, but iirc sticky was shy, awkward and joey did him no favors.

Easy to be a fair interviewer when you have nothing to lose. Sticky is a nobody and probably a laughing stock among pros.

Foxen goes from a man who made a mistake to being a serious pos when he doubled down on joeys pod. Joey says nothing.

Berkey attempts to talk about gto (look at his hands vs jungleman lol) while shamelessly inserting his $1k training course. Joey just smiles.

HSDB reveals hs “crushers” aren’t even winning in hs games. Joey doesn’t do any follow up pods with former guests.

There are some major signs, for example him touching his nose. It's a pretty well known subconciously action people do when they are lying. It's more absurd that guys like you defend him. There are like a billion signs out there of him being guilty, and pretty much nothing makes me believe he isnt.

Berkey is the farthest thing from a GTO player - self-admittedly.

HSDB isn't accurate at all. If I label someone a crusher, they are usually crushing the games according to graphs I've seen. I've had on many repeat guests.

I don't have any reason to believe Foxen is lying about what he said. I'm not sure what you would say but start your own podcast and attack guests you've never spoken w/ prior to the podcast that day and I will sit back and watch lol.

I wasn't mean to Stickyrice, the dude was ****ing strange and clearly an actor on his live stream. I thought that was actually how he was going to be on the podcast.


He is playing 150 hours/day out here right now.

Not interested in interviewing today’s hot trash and trying to suck up to them like you are. hsdb came out and a couple guys publicly “retired” or stopped playing shortly after and you didn’t have them on since. If you are going to interview at least do it right ffs

I must not be watching the poker podcast where guests come on and the person hosting berates them for most of the episode and isn't friendly to them.

I don't do interviews. I have conversations. I invite people on to have a conversation with them like a regular person would. Not to attack them.

Will be live at 6pm EST today w/ Sam Soverel to address angleshooting allegations. Sam regularly plays the highest stakes cash games in Vegas.

The lucky chewy podcast was great, it even took the edge off me getting stacked last night

Just start being more liberal with the Block button, there are some truly toxic people frequenting these threads.

Great podcast moments
