Francis Anderson quit running the day his little brother beat him.Poker was different.That one stuck.Francis grew up in Poughkeepsie, New York, in a competitive family. Road races on the weekends. Soccer. School. A normal path.Then college happened.University of Albany. Accounting major. Study room poker games. $5 and $10 buy-ins.And then Jamie Gold won the 2006 WSOP Main Event.For a lot of people, Moneymaker was the moment.For Francis?It was Jamie Gold talking people into doing the wrong thing for $12 million.From there, poker got serious fast.He started playing online, driving to Turning Stone, grinding $150 nightlies with a tiny bankroll, and building a network through PocketFives and AOL Instant Messenger.Then he satellited into the Sunday Brawl, got 7th for around $10K, and told his mom he was dropping out of college.As one does.In this episode of The Table 1 Podcast, Francis joins Art Parmann and Justin Young to talk through the full ride: ♠️ Finding poker during the Jamie Gold WSOP era ♥️ Dropping out after a Sunday Brawl score ♦️ Black Friday and the Costa Rica online poker migration ♣️ Grinding with David Peters and seeing elite work ethic up close ♠️ Moving to Vegas with a tiny bankroll ♥️ Getting crushed, going nearly broke, and rebuilding ♦️ Wearing a cowboy hat and mask to disguise himself in the Monster Stack ♣️ Turning a $5K bankroll into a massive WSOP score ♠️ Winning the $800 Independence Day event for $500K ♥️ Becoming Main Event chip leader the next day ♦️ Back-to-back WPT final tables ♣️ Why he still shows up early for $800s and $1KsThis one is a real grinder story.Not overnight success.Not one heater.A decade-plus of moving countries, rebuilding bankrolls, firing bullets, getting better, and showing up again the next day.Sometimes in a cowboy hat.

(https://table1.vegas)---Mike Noori's poker career started with a crime.Well...sort of.At 16 years old he was sneaking into casinos, waiting for security guards to look the other way before sprinting into poker rooms.When that stopped working?He bought a fake ID.Not to be 21.To be 18.Because all he wanted to do was play poker.That obsession took him through:online poker's wild west,college dropout life,massive bankroll swings,mixed games,prop bets,a WSOP bracelet...and eventually...a 43-acre farm in North Carolina.Seriously.In this episode of The Table 1 Podcast, Mike joins Art Parmann and Justin Young for one of the funniest and most unexpected poker journeys we've heard yet.We talk:♠️ Sneaking into casinos as a teenager♥️ Turning a free $50 online poker signup into $12,000 (and losing all of it)♦️ Why he chose college based on nearby poker rooms♣️ Dusting a PCA package and nearly going broke♠️ Staking a friend in the Mega Millions that saved his bankroll♥️ Learning mixed games at Commerce and Hollywood Park♦️ Winning the WSOP Monster Stack bracelet♣️ The legendary McDonald's prop bet♠️ Walking 30+ miles to get out of a golf bet♥️ Training for a $35,000 basketball prop bet♦️ Leaving poker behind for cows, bees, and farm lifeWe also get into:fake IDsbad beat jackpotsgolf gamblingmixed game glory daysbracelet partiescontractor scamsbeekeepingand why sometimes the best move is leaving the game entirely.This one starts in a garage home game and somehow ends with seven cows and a greenhouse.Only in poker.
Before Wayne Chiang was helping shape the future of poker content at the WSOP…he was one of the best StarCraft players in the world.Not “pretty good.”World Champion.Back when esports barely existed…before Twitch…before streaming…before anyone thought playing video games could become a career…Wayne was already there.Grinding real-time strategy games.Writing battle reports by hand because replays didn't exist yet.Competing against future poker legends, esports pioneers, and internet entrepreneurs before any of them were famous.Then poker happened.And suddenly the same competitive obsession that made him elite at StarCraft…translated perfectly into online poker during the boom.In this episode of The Table 1 Podcast, Wayne “D22-soso” joins Art Parmann and Justin Young for one of the most fascinating crossover stories we've had yet: ♠️ Becoming a StarCraft World Champion in the earliest days of esports ♥️ The original “content creator” grind before streaming existed ♦️ The overlap between elite gamers and poker crushers ♣️ Going broke in poker and rebuilding from scratch ♠️ The insane early online poker ecosystem ♥️ Playing the biggest games online before bankroll management existed ♦️ Becoming part-owner of Live at the Bike ♣️ Helping shape the WSOP Vlogger Program today ♠️ Why poker needs creators more than ever ♥️ How AI, content, and media are changing poker foreverWe also get into: esports history Commerce poker politics poker fame vs actual skill livestream tells what makes good poker content and why “your network is your net worth” becomes more true the longer you play poker.This one feels like a time capsule of:early esports,early online poker,and the weird internet era that created both.

Come play with us in Las Vegas at Table 1!https://table1.vegasMatt Savage almost changed poker history.Seriously.One ruling…one sentence…and the most famous hand of the poker boom might've played out completely differently.But that's only a tiny piece of Matt's story.Because before poker had standardized tournament rules…before the TDA…before modern tournament poker became the machine it is today…everything was chaos.Different casinos had different rules.Players argued nonstop.Structures were all over the place.And during the poker boom?Absolute insanity.So Matt Savage helped fix it.In this episode of The Table 1 Podcast, Matt joins Art Parmann and Justin Young for a deep dive into the hidden side of poker that most players never think about: ♠️ The early WPT days and poker's Wild West era ♥️ Building the Tournament Directors Association (TDA) ♦️ Running the WSOP during the Moneymaker boom ♣️ The hand that almost changed poker history forever ♠️ Why Matt thinks some modern tournament structures are broken ♥️ The future of poker with AI, solvers, phones, and cheating concerns ♦️ Why recreational players matter more than pros realize ♣️ The chaos of old-school WSOP poker roomsWe also get into: poker room disasters missing money scandals livestream headaches bizarre rulings why everybody hates the floor… until they need the floor…and why tournament poker today looks completely different because of people like Matt.This one is poker history, poker philosophy, and behind-the-scenes Vegas chaos all wrapped into one episode.
We catch up with PGA Tour winner and Virginia native Michael Brennan to hear about his win in Utah, his experience at the Masters and relive some shots and memories from his win at the Scott Robertson Memorial as an amateur in 2019.

Mike Matusow was one of the best players in the world.And he knew it.But before the bracelets… before the TV cameras… before the meltdowns…He was just a kid in Las Vegas: Getting picked on Selling candy at school Building a race car to find his placeThen he discovered gambling.And it hit fast.Video poker turned into addiction.Addiction turned into poker.Poker turned into dominance.Within months, he goes from never playing poker… to sitting with legends like Johnny Moss.To being told by the reigning World Champion:“You're one of the only ones who knows what's going on.”That's how fast it happened.But the story everyone thinks they know? That's only part of it.Because behind the wins… there's a different story: Drugs Jail Millions lost Mental battles Starting over again and againAnd somehow… still competing at the highest level.In this episode of The Table 1 Podcast, Mike “The Mouth” Matusow joins Art Parmann and Justin Young to break down one of the most intense careers in poker: ♠️ Getting bullied growing up and finding confidence through cars ♥️ Becoming addicted to gambling before poker ♦️ Learning poker and becoming elite almost instantly ♣️ Playing with legends in the 90s poker scene ♠️ The Scotty Nguyen backing story and calling his shot ♥️ The 2005 WSOP Main Event run — and how it slipped away ♦️ Russ Hamilton stealing millions from him ♣️ Jail, depression, and rebuilding his life ♠️ Why modern poker is broken and what players get wrong ♥️ The mindset required to win at the highest levelThis one is raw, unfiltered, and a look at poker from someone who lived through every era of it.Come Play With Ushttps://table1.vegashttps://play.phenompoker.com/register?r=Table1Follow MikeTwitter: https://x.com/themouthmatusowInstagram: https://instagram.com/mikematusowTable 1 PodcastThe Table 1 Podcast is poker's living room.We bring you the stories behind the biggest personalities in poker — the wins, the losses, and everything that happens away from the felt.Subscribe for new episodes every week.

Matt Stout learned to count with five-card draw.Not math class.Not flash cards.Poker.His older sister taught him the game when he was four years old — which feels either wholesome or deeply irresponsible depending on how you look at it.Either way, it stuck.By high school he was selling weed, playing hockey, and doing just enough in school to stay on the team. By college he'd found poker, gotten busted with a quarter pound, quit hockey, and fallen headfirst into the game.Then everything sped up.A paperwork mistake knocked him out of school.He took what he had left to Atlantic City.Ran it from about $4K to $50K in a matter of months.Got staked by Sheets & Backs.And suddenly the kid from Bayonne was battling high-stakes tournaments against some of the biggest names in poker.That alone would've been enough story for one episode.But Matt's story gets weirder.Because somewhere along the way, the poker pro became one of the most important charity poker operators in the country.What started as a $10 college fundraiser became the Charity Series of Poker — raising millions for nonprofits and working with organizations like St. Jude and the Vegas Golden Knights.And yes… we also get into how he met Katie Morgan. Because of course we do.In this episode of The Table 1 Podcast, Matt joins Art Parmann and Justin Young to talk about:Learning poker as a kidGetting busted and finding poker at the right timeTurning $4K into $50KGetting staked by Sheets & BacksBuilding the Charity Series of PokerMeeting Katie MorganThis one is funny, chaotic, and a reminder that poker careers rarely go where you think they will.Sometimes the dream job doesn't exist yet.You just build it yourself.Play with us in Vegas:table1.vegasPlay online with the Table 1 community:Phenom PokerLearn more about CSOP:charityseriesofpoker.orgShow Notes3:47 — Learns poker at age 413:58 — College bust leads to poker27:24 — $4K to $50K heater52:30 — Charity Series of Poker begins58:27 — The Negreanu text that changed things1:13:05 — Meeting Katie MorganArt: @artparmann | Your Perfect Poker Assistant: AskCharlotte.ai/pokerJustin: @justinyoung07

Still learning. Still in college.Then things started to turn.He won a major score his senior year of college — about $175,000.Enough to pay off loans. Enough to believe this might actually work.Then came the summer that changed everything.He had basically bricked the WSOP.No momentum.No heater.Just another grind.Then the Main Event started.Joe says he doesn't remember much from Day 1 — except leaving to go to the bathroom.By Day 3, he had all the chips.The cards came.People got scared.Everything just worked.Then came the moment everyone remembers.Daniel Negreanu. Cameras everywhere. The whole poker world rooting for the story.They got it in.It was a flip.And Joe won.From there, he ran over the final tables and won the WSOP Main Event.But the story didn't end there.After the win, people started gunning for him. Pots got bigger. Expectations got louder.And tournament poker kept doing what tournament poker does:You can lose for months.Then the sun shines on you again.In this episode of The Table 1 Podcast, Joe joins Art Parmann and Justin Young to talk about:♠️ Starting from freerolls and getting staked online♠️ Being six figures in makeup early in his career♠️ Winning $175K while still in college♠️ The WSOP Main Event run — and what he actually remembers♠️ Busting Daniel Negreanu with the whole world watching♠️ Why tournament poker is mostly about surviving variance♠️ Life after winning the Main Event♠️ Why he still approaches poker the same way todayIf you want to hear what it really feels like to win the biggest tournament in poker — and how random, brutal, and absurd the path can be — this episode is a must-listen.Come Play Poker With UsIf you're in Las Vegas and want to play in our Table 1 private game at ARIA, you can request a seat here:https://table1.vegasPlay Online With UsJoin us on Phenom Poker and get a deposit bonus:• Up to 200% bonus on your first deposit (up to $2,000)• Use our link to sign up• Deposit using USDTLink: https://play.phenompoker.com/register?r=Table1Table 1 PodcastThe Table 1 Podcast is poker's living room.We bring you the stories behind the biggest personalities in poker — the wins, the losses, and everything that happens away from the felt.Subscribe for new episodes every week.

The home buying process remains slow and uncertain for all too many. On average, it now takes around 120 days to complete a property purchase in the UK, a sharp rise since 2007, and around one in three deals still falls through. The cost of failed property transactions runs into billions each year and creates stress for buyers, sellers and mortgage intermediaries alike. In this episode of the Mortgage Insider podcast, host Phil Spencer is joined by Justin Young, CEO of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), and Claire Beardmore, Director of L&G Mortgage Club, to look at why the home buying process takes so long and what could help improve outcomes across the market. The discussion looks at how poor timing and late checks add delay, why repeating property surveys and searches wastes time and money, and how doing more work upfront could allow steps to run side by side rather than one after the other. They also explore what England can learn from Scotland’s home report system, as well as other countries with shorter timelines and far fewer fall-throughs, and why confidence in digitisation, reliable data and clear standards will be essential if change is to stick. With reform work under way and more focus on upfront information, the episode sets out why mortgage intermediaries have such a key role in getting buyers ready early and staying close to developments that could shape how homes are bought and sold in the years ahead.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ahhh... Thanksgiving … That uniquely American tradition of sitting around the bountiful dinner table, enjoying the company of family and friends, and remembering this 1955 Newsreel: "As Thanksgiving nears, a seasonal gift to President Eisenhower is this strutting, impressive 39-pound Tom Turkey. Handsomest bird in all Nebraska. And perhaps the other 47 states as well. All the trimmings for the White House dinner come with him. A big basket of cranberries to complete the holiday platter. It's a lucky bird that graces the President's table. And he's gobbling with excitement at the prospect." Sadly for handsome 39-pound Tom Turkey, his luck soon ran out. President Eisenhower ate him. Decades later, with America more enlighted, tukeys no longer get eaten. They get pardoned. Presidential pardons. These days, Thanksgiving presidential turkey pardons are big, extravagant White House events. With comical turkey names, comical turkey quips, and lots of giggles and gobbles. Which can mean only thing: It's time for an "Extreme Mortman" White House Thanksgiving Presidential Turkey Pardon Ceremony contest.

Ryan opens up about sneaking online poker sessions as a teen, the “Moneymaker effect,” and how dropping out of college set him on the path to poker stardom. He discusses moving across North America to chase the dream, overcoming challenges growing up gay in a traditional environment, and building community through forums and coaching. You'll hear candid insights into tournament swings—odd jobs, finding stable internet, and bankroll variance. Ryan breaks down the backing model, why coaching became both passion and safety net, and why multiple income streams matter for today's pros. The conversation gets personal: being an openly gay figure in poker, balancing business ventures and mentorship, and future aspirations beyond the felt. We close with goals for the next chapter, inside stories about his bracelet win, and advice for grinders navigating an ever-changing industry.Show Notes 00:00 – Some Early Podcast Reminiscing & Finding Poker 07:52 – Early Bankrolls & Part Time Poker 12:30 – Dropping Out of College & Meeting His Future Husband 17:07 – Black Friday & WSOP #1 22:44 – Five Years of Travel & Coaching 27:50 – Staked Life & Spin n Go's! 35:53 – Ryan's Coaching Style & PLO! 40:12 – Grinding Without a Massive Breakout Year 43:37 – Consulting With Poker Operators 47:47 – Ambassador vs Business Relationships 50:15 – The Big Beautiful Tax Bill & Ryan's Exact ROI Stats! 58:06 – The BRACELET!

Last night, Donald Trump delivered a speech that, while technically a joint address to Congress, carried all the hallmarks of a campaign-style event filled with made-for-TV moments, emotional appeals, and strategic messaging. Let's break down what happened.Trump's Optimistic Tone: A Departure from "American Carnage"One of the most surprising takeaways from the speech was Trump's notably optimistic tone. Historically, Trump has thrived on highlighting crises, framing America as a nation in peril, in need of his leadership to "fix it." This time, however, there was a shift. He painted a picture of a country that was on the verge of a new golden era, offering solutions rather than just grievances.While still aggressive in his direct call-outs — pointing at specific politicians and criticizing their policies — Trump's rhetoric was more forward-facing. Whether one believes his words or not, the tone of his message was clear: We're going to be okay, and here's why.The Democrats' Disjointed StrategyIf Trump's address was an exercise in tight, focused messaging, the Democratic response was anything but. There appeared to be an internal divide on how to handle the moment. Leadership suggested a visual strategy, having members bring a “plus one,” specifically fired federal workers, to highlight job losses under Trump. But instead of a powerful display, the execution was lackluster.What Democrats mostly did was hold up small signs with messages like “False”, “Protect Medicaid”, and “Fire Musk.” These signs echoed previous protest tactics, like Rashida Tlaib's “War Criminal” sign when Netanyahu spoke. However, instead of appearing unified and strong, it made them look like they were following a playbook set by a single faction of the party rather than presenting a broad, compelling counterargument.Al Green's Yelling and the Optics BattleThe lack of a coherent Democratic strategy was further highlighted when Rep. Al Green (D-TX) stood up mid-speech and began yelling, though it was unclear what he was yelling about. The 77-year-old congressman was eventually escorted out, but the visual of an elderly man angrily shouting and then leaving quietly did little to make an impact.Trump, anticipating resistance, built a line into his speech about how Democrats would refuse to stand or cheer for anything he said. True to form, many Democrats remained seated during moments that, at least on camera, appeared universally positive. The optics of the party looking grumpy and disengaged while Trump supporters clapped and cheered was, at best, a missed opportunity.Policy Highlights: Inflation, Tariffs, and Open BordersTrump's speech hit several key policy points, starting with inflation, a topic polling shows as a top voter concern. His approach? Blame Biden and promise that lowering fuel costs through increased drilling would lower overall prices.He also reaffirmed his stance on tariffs, arguing that protectionist policies would bring jobs back to America. However, as Justin pointed out, this messaging could be tricky. If tariffs are seen as inflationary, they could directly contradict his economic promises.Immigration was another focus, with Trump highlighting border security as one of his administration's major successes. While migration levels have significantly decreased, he took full credit for the decline, presenting it as a unilateral victory.The Made-for-TV MomentsThis address will likely be remembered more for its emotional and strategic moments than for its policy substance. Trump repeatedly leaned into personal stories, putting everyday Americans in the spotlight. Among the most notable:* A Mother of a Murdered 12-Year-Old – Trump honored a grieving mother whose son was killed by gang members, announcing the renaming of an animal sanctuary in her child's honor.* A Young Female Athlete and Transgender Sports Debate – He highlighted a female volleyball player who suffered a head injury from a transgender opponent, a move that played directly into the right's ongoing cultural battles over women's sports.* A Cancer Survivor Turned Secret Service Member – In a surprise moment, Trump announced that a 13-year-old pediatric cancer survivor was being made an honorary Secret Service agent, prompting an emotional response.* A Military Legacy Continues – A young man from a military family was told, on stage, that he was being accepted into West Point — yet another moment of surprise designed for maximum emotional impact.* Afghanistan and ISIS-K – Perhaps the biggest bombshell was Trump's announcement that the mastermind behind the ISIS-K attack that killed 13 U.S. service members in Afghanistan had been captured and was being extradited.Polling and Public PerceptionIn the immediate aftermath, polling suggested the speech played well. A CNN snap poll showed 69% of speech watchers viewed it positively. A CBS YouGov poll reported that 68% of respondents felt “hopeful” after the speech, while only 16% felt “angry.” These numbers suggest that even some Democrats who tuned in didn't find the address entirely off-putting.However, the real test will come in the weeks ahead. Trump's messaging was disciplined and effective, but whether it translates into a meaningful shift in public opinion remains to be seen.Final Thoughts: The Democrats' Strategic VoidTrump may have dominated the night, but the bigger question is: What is the Democratic strategy? Right now, it seems like their approach is to hope Trump makes mistakes. But hope isn't a plan, and as Justin Young notes, failing to engage effectively in key political moments like this could spell trouble in November.As the 2024 election approaches, one thing is clear: If Democrats don't sharpen their messaging, Trump is going to keep winning the optics battle.Chapters00:00 - Intro08:19 - Trump's Opening Remarks and Al Green's Removal16:02 - Trump's Relationship with Democrats and Biden19:39 - Trump's Comments on Inflation22:04 - DOGE and Open Borders33:23 - Made-for-TV Moments41:19 - Abbey Gate, Ukraine, and the Democrats' Reactions48:39 - Final Thoughts This is a public episode.
