The video is actually pretty funny but pretty disingenuous of Doug not to mention they had a J4 bounty (same as 72 game) on.

His Airball comment also aged like milk.

Berkey isnt bad but his crew is losers.

I listen to 2 or 3 episodes a week it isnt bad if you just fast forward through all the pittsburgh stuff

sometimes they talk for like 10 minutes straight about pittsburgh before i realize it, and then I throw my computer out the window like a frisbee

I am not a Dnegs fan at all, but Berkey is the absolute nut low. How anyone could like that guy is beyond me. He is a narcissistic bully that could not be anymore disingenuous. He is the type of guy that will rail against something and belittle other people for doing it, and then get involved and literally do the exact same thing himself. He then tries to justify it by claiming that it is OK for him to do it because he is so much more intelligent than anyone else so there is a nuanced difference in the way he approaches the same subject.

Such a classic example of 'Do as I say, not as I do' that I have ever seen. What a clown leading a clown show.

Berkey and crew go over the the Berkey/Daniel thing toward the end of the show.

Berkey has a closing statement that starts around 1:27:30

There is definitely an element of that but also quite a bit of truth in what he says and I think his aim isn't that far off in calling Daniel out for his lack of accountability. Daniel could use his platform to do so much good within the community but he stays silent on anything that matters to the wider community or worse tries to defend things that actively hurt it. He aligns himself with whatever pays the most money.

Its all about getting that bag.

Berkey and Daniel are both pretty much but low.

Like many I was a big Daniel fan when I was getting into Poker but the guy is sort of a joke now, doesn't seem to be a solid player anymore and is kept afloat by his sponsorships.

His new "humble end boss" character attitude is cringe.

Obviously it is expected to have an ego a multi millionaire who has never had a job in his life that's fine but man thinks a little too highly of himself...I remember a tweet by him how he was at a table discussing how they were going to change the world lol

I think we all can agree we like Dnegs rocking the redneck beard though

He looks like he sells/rides/repairs snowmobiles

Berkey is such a hypocrite. Hes calling out Daniel for not talking about the GG Superuser stuff. Where the F is Berkey's own criticism of the likes of Jason Koon, Fedor Holz and the entire pathetic "Integrity Council"?? He hasnt said ANYTHIGN to call them out even though his entire life revolves around his poker youtube channel and poker twitter. He wont criticize them because he only ever goes after people whom he knows a lot of other people also dislike, such as DNegs, Polk etc.

Yeah, 2 guys in their mid 40s arguing over the internet. Pretty lame. Dnegs has been an angry little man for quite some time, and Berkey seems to invite a lot of controversy by injecting himself into a lot of stuff that has nothing to do with him. They should probably both take a Twitter timeout.

And Berkey as per usual chooses to criticize the low hanging fruit DNegs instead of the likes of Jason Koon who is the poker community's golden boy. To be fair to Koon since my post he stepped down from GG, which probably has something to do with the bad optics it was for him to be an "integrity ambassador" for such a shady company.

But still, Berkey probably isnt going to criticize the rest of the "Integrity Council". Fedor Holz, LuckyChewie, Seth Davis and Nick Petrangelo., who are all jokes for staying on while Koon stepped down.

"Holz and Koon were both members of the GGPoker Poker Integrity Council (PIC) when it launched in 2022, alongside Andrew Lichtenberger, Seth Davies and Nick Petrangelo. Of the five original PIC members, only Holz remains affiliated with the site, raising the question over whether he is now the Poker Integrity Ambassador by default."

4 of the 5 members of the Poker Integrity Council are no longer with GG. None of them are saying anything, but presumably they had disagreements or no longer were willing to take money to vouch for the integrity of the games.
