Yeah not a great podcast tbh, couldn’t get past 30 mins as it was so dry. There’s so many moments that they could’ve discussed: Isildur1, HSP, His rise to the top, cool private game stories, bracelet bet stories etc
Yet we are treated to solving for AI issues at pokerking, taking risks for sites and poker etiquette. Not the most thrilling.
Nothing on Joey as it’s pretty clear this podcast and iveys was steered by the people at PK.
Agreed, huge let down, but I don't blame Joey. Dwan won't/can't talk about anything good and his overall personality is extremely boring. Good thing I wasn't taking shots for every time the word "solved" was used, jfc it was unbearable.
Absolute disgrace that Dwan VS Viktor wasn't talked about at length.
joey has spent over a decade not asking secondary questions nor asking people to clarify/elaborate
all his pods are 100% driven by the guest who dictates everything, to expect him to change that at this point is silly
it's frustrating but we also don't know how the sausage is made, perhaps joey rose up where others didn't because guests felt comfortable there knowing they would never get pressed
when i did media blitzs the pr firm would always let me know ahead of time which interviews were going to be cupcakes we could control and which weren't and i've always wondered if joey was born a cupcake or became one by design - to his credit a lot of people tried what he's done and failed spectacularly so perhaps cupcake is gto
love his pods but they'll always be background ambiance since they are so long and meander and there's not one that goes by that makes me wonder why he didn't push or focus in certain directions
Joey has not tweeted since July and a lot of chatter at WSOP that people are concerned about him
I played with Landon Tice in Texas a few weeks ago on a stream game and someone asked him about Joey and Landon said that he had spoken with him recently but he was just taking some time to himself out of the spotlight. I took it as meaning Joey is having some mental health struggles and I hope he is able to conquer whatever he is fighting.
You know you've made a great product and touched a lot of people when there are still fans talking about where you went months later on the 442nd page. I miss the pod, and even though I've never met him I miss joey. Even if a decade passes I'll still be checking in on him/Poker Life
At 48:40 he says Joey has been way off the grid, hasn’t been responded to a messages for months and Doug is feeling worried about him, although he does say “maybe I should give him a call and stop texting and messaging” so he’s obviously not that worried. Still, it’s concerning, especially with Doug randomly putting that out there.
From the outside looking in it always seemed like joey had a brutal career, losing the half million roll must have been traumatic, meanwhile watching his peers like Doug continue to rise up while trying to rebuild in the American ecosystem.
I'd love to see something like him and nick Schulman getting settled into co-announcing a regular stream or even turning the pod into a crypto/trading channel. Whatever happens I hope he doesnt disappear for good, I would give joey the shirt off my back and I think most of the people in this thread would too
yeah always wished joey would just do a pod on himself like olivier busquet did before he had guests on his (amazing pod check it out) because the few times he spoke about his life it was often more interesting than the topic his guest was droning on about
aware it's still very painful for him, remember distinctly how upset he was with Doug consoling him as he mentioned the time he went busto

from what i understand he was in australia with a stripper he met, battling a rec player heads up and caught a brutal wave of variance over the course of a few days, with extra curriculars involved. idk how you survive something like that mentally, yet alone keep playing, but it's a testament to who he is imo
If there’s a major main event controversy, Chicago Joey will re-appear and have us laughing and entertaining us! My fave Joey Ingram commentary was the commentary on the casino fight with the tattooed Chinese guy! So funny!
Joey, how are you? Missing you, man. Hope you are well. I Would like to show you a wild hand, streamed at the kings casino, buckle up! It happened in the great game of omaha, biggest pot of his life. Each player gets 5 time bank chips per hand (20 seconds each), mandatory shot game. Villain is repping a flush I guess and barrels (punts) into hero, hero is taking a shot at his game, but he aint scared. In the end he gets ****ed, I guess we kind of need you here, if you are not too busy, a great injustice happened, gotham city is under attack! We need Batman, or Joe Ingram.
Kings Casino Scandal:
You can even pretend you are blind and only listen to the sound, I watched it numerous times now. When he gets the countdown he makes the call in time. Also if you do the math, its well within the time, he is getting stonewalled by the casino now. It takes him 1min 7secs to make the call, shotclock is off and so is the dealer. Its honestly some bullshit. Something for your next podcast? peace..
Joey gets bored of any one thing after too long and needs to rotate them in and out before they get too old. He'll be back to the YT streets once again whenever he feels the itch.
Hey Joey, I'm the player that got wronged by the casino. Would really appreciate if you checked it out! I could share more information (like private conversations with staff and how it affected me personally etc). Just hit me up if you are interested.
