As far as James and Matt are concerned, the podcast isn't on summer break until next week. But Joe's clearly had enough already, and has vanished on vacation seven days early! Yes, Uncle Daddy is absent from the show, leaving his work wife and work abusive stepdad to hold down the fort. Luckily, they have Daniel Negreanu to keep them company, as he makes his annual guest appearance. Daniel discusses his Vegas vlogs, celebrates his string of cashes at the World Series of Poker, and offers his two cents on a few WSOP controversies, including THAT angle shoot and the ongoing debate about dodgy decks of cards. In 'Adventures in Online Poker', Matt talks about teaching his Twitch viewers to play Badugi and 2-7 Triple Draw better than he can. And, with Joe AWOL, we present the first ever edition of 'Superfan vs James Hartigan', as Jack McCurdy competes for a #PSCBarcelona satellite ticket in a 'Top Gun'-themed quiz. #PokerInTheEars returns on Thursday 10th August 2017.
