With only a week to go until the start of the new EPT season, the podcast is back! James and Joe talk about what they've been up to over the summer, and continue their painful row about Twitter verification that's been running since EPT Dublin in February. There's also a summary of what's happened in the poker world during the last six weeks, including the WSOP Main Event. Griffin Benger joins the boys to talk about making the November Nine (or October Octet +1) and his infamous run in with EPT fan favourite/villain William Kassouf. Finally, Zach Whigham from Georgia is tested on his knowledge of the US version of The Office in 'Superfan vs Stapes'. Want to compete on the show? Please let us know. #EPTNotLive

In their last podcast before their six-week summer break, James and Joe pay tribute to an #EPTLive fan who recently passed away, and celebrate Jason Mercier's continued success at the World Series of Poker. Lex Veldhuis joins the boys to talk about the infamous Mercier/Selbst bracelet bet, his Omaha streams on Twitch, and his love/hate relationship with tournaments. Joe recaps some of his recent Vegas shenanigans, which include passing out after a pool party and playing a lot of poker – some of it for charity, and some of it in a glass box. Finally, budding poker commentator James Day gets some tips from the "pros” and competes for prizes in a Survivor-themed edition of 'Superfan vs Stapes'. #EPTNotLive returns on Thursday 11th August 2016.

It's finally happened. A well-known poker player has a major beef with Joe and has told him how much he DOESN'T appreciate his comedic commentary (it's fair to say the confrontation was a tad awkward). Fortunately, it's all rainbows and unicorns for the rest of the podcast, as Joe talks about hanging out with some of poker's finest at a 70s-themed birthday bash in Las Vegas. Maria Ho was also at the party, and she's the guest on this week's show, finding time between World Series of Poker events to talk to the boys and play a silly game. Plus, poker writer Robbie Strazinsky competes for a tournament ticket and a T-shirt in a WSOP-themed edition of 'Superfan vs Stapes'. #EPTNotLive

Joe is in Las Vegas, where he's been hanging out with the likes of Phil Hellmuth Jr, Antonio Esfandiari and 'Breaking Bad' star Aaron Paul. He's also been losing hundreds of dollars at the tables and has managed to get into a 'Social Media Beef' with Ludovic Geilich. Meanwhile, James has been playing some poker at The Vic in London, and talks about being bluffed in a micro-stakes cash game and butchering a hand in a tournament. There's a round-up of PokerStars live events around the world (#PlayOnPokerStars), and Scott Adamson, a Canadian living in China, shows off his knowledge of the 'Hangover' movies in this week's edition of 'Superfan vs Stapes'. #EPTNotLive

To celebrate the launch of the feature-length documentary 'KidPoker' on Netflix (in the UK & Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand), James and Joe host a special DNegs-themed episode of the podcast, featuring special guest star Daniel Negreanu. In an extended interview, Daniel talks about the long-awaited release of the film, his recent trip to Romania, the Super High Roller Bowl, the WSOP, the 'Rocky' franchise, 'Game of Thrones' and American politics. And, just in case you don't think that's enough Negreanu for one show, "The Life of Daniel” is the specialist subject in this week's edition of 'Superfan vs Stapes', as Colm Mc Cumiskey from Ireland takes on Joe in a quest for fortune and glory. #EPTNotLive

Joe describes a Hollywood night out, and an encounter with celebrity poker fan Aaron Paul, while James reveals his annoyance with classic cars. After running through some of the results from #SCOOP, and re-enacting Jason Mercier's Twitter spat with Doug Polk, the boys talk about the #EPT 12 Dublin High Roller final table (now available to watch at PokerStars.tv). Charlie Carrel, who finished third in that event, is this week's guest. He talks about some of the key hands from the tournament, and receives an unfair amount of abuse for his unique mode of attire. Plus, Michael Zajac from Canada competes against Joe in a San Francisco 49ers-themed edition of 'Superfan vs Stapes'. #EPTNotLive

This week's podcast features another reading from 'The Book of Joe'. Also back by popular demand, a tale of degeneracy from the Sandy archives. James and Joe break down the #PCA2016 Main Event final table TV show, featuring a host of great players and a cute dog (watch it now at PokerStars.tv). And Joe talks about playing Hold'em by the rules alongside some fellow poker personalities in a Los Angeles home game. There's a look ahead to the #EPT 13 Barcelona festival. And it's double trouble in 'Superfan vs Stapes', as Chris Spirito from Rhode Island and Kagiso Mabusela from Johannesburg showcase their knowledge of 'Arrested Development'. Want to appear on the show as a Superfan? Just let us know your specialist subject. #EPTNotLive

James and Joe are back from Monaco. They're exhausted, but still in one piece. Just about. There's a recap of the EPT 12 Grand Final, including the lowdown on what happened when the lights went out on #EPTLive. Joe tells a bizarre tale involving a stand-up gig, a bunch of flowers, a mysterious note and a phone call (to be continued in the next episode of #EPTNotLive). The #PCA2016 TV shows are now airing, so Bryn Kenney joins the boys to discuss the $100k Super High Roller final table. James and Joe ask him about the OTHER Kenny, and find out if @BrynKenneyWorld is the real deal or a parody account. Plus, find out if Joe Lipscomb, aka: Skuff, knows more about the EPT sketches than the man who wrote them in this week's edition of 'Superfan vs Stapes'.

James and Joe an "on tour” edition of #EPTNotLive. The three are in Monaco for the EPT 12 Grand Final. After discussing a few personal conflicts, including a life or death struggle with a hornet, they recap the first few days of cards-up action on #EPTLive. Tournament Director Thomas Lamatsch makes a special appearance on the show, accompanied by James's worst nightmare. The other guest on the podcast is Isabel Boyle, the 72-year-old grandmother who qualified for the EPT in a €10 Spin & Go. She's tested on her knowledge of 1950s music in this week's edition of 'Superfan vs Stapes'. The boys run through some of the key winners at the European Poker Awards, and assess Joe's performance as host. Plus, there's a brief (spoiler-free) review of 'Captain America: Civil War'.

It's the Monaco 2016 Preview Show! James and Joe look ahead to this year's EPT Grand Final, with a full rundown of the events #EPTLive will be streaming (with hole cards) from Saturday 30th April to Friday 6th May. Plus, there's a summary of #StarsFun activities planned for Monaco, some of which may appear in the next episode of #EPTNotLive. Niall Farrell joins the boys to talk about his EPT victory, as the Malta final table highlights show premieres on PokerStars.tv (channel4.com/poker in the UK and Ireland). And Las Vegas is the theme of this week's edition of 'Superfan vs Stapes', with Christopher Bean going heads-up against Joe.
