And I vote yes to having blitz on the show. Ask interesting poker, travel, movie questions and stay away from the pros and guns; should be fun.
I don't follow how building a library of storytimes would have changed your enjoyment of the Blair Hinkle story? Whether we have 2 or 10 stories in the queue, his story is stlll the same. Are you suggesting we would't have aired it if we had others recorded?

E.g. - We have several Sklansky segments recorded. we are running them in the order that he recorded them.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Looking forward to doing a full interview in the near future with you!

A little late to the game, but..This show was awesome. Thor is my new hero.

If I didn't have a wife, kid and incredible job I'd take my roll and drive to Vegas today! I would try to not gamble find raiser donations, but I somehow doubt anyone expected much different and maybe a little gamble has kept him alive longer.

"Having My Baby" by The Coolies. Off "dig...?", an album of all Simon & Garfunkel covers (except for that one).

Chick-Fil-A is pronounced Chick fillet.

And it's as delicious as everyone says it is.

or chick-filet (as in filet mignon) I worked there 5+ years through college and a bit beyond. Great food. Waffle fries are also a hit with me.

Somehow, a machete/chick-fil-a mashup seems inevitable.

Also, Thor Hansen interview was great. Really enjoyed his stories. The Hinkle stories were as bad as Hansen's were good.

Great podcast as usual. FWIW in order to qualify for the "Super Bowl bet" with mattress Mac, you were required to buy at least $6k worth of furniture and choose the Seahawks to win the game. So basically no one if their right mind would have chosen the broncos.

Forgot to mention that the word Adam was looking for (while making fun of Mike's use of quintillion) was "quinceañera."

Either nice planning or coincidence, but I liked that the EPT promo following the story time was with Lex.

Also loled at Sklansky's theory on people don't cheat because they haven't had an opportunity. Don't think he could be more wrong.

Because they are all on their smart phones after they fold.

I think the word he was looking for was Cotillion. " The cotillion is a type of patterned social dance that originated in France in the 18th century"

Amazing cover. I've seen NIN talk about it and how great and moving the Cash version is.
