James and Joe kick things off with tweets about last week's podcast, including positive reaction to the news that #EPTLive is going cards-up in Monaco. EPT 12 has started airing on TV, so the boys review the season premiere: the Barcelona Main Event Final Table. They're joined by runner-up Steve Warburton to discuss the show. Steve is also subjected to one of the most torturous trivia games ever created by (a hairy) man. Joe decides to campaign for numerous nominees in this year's European Poker Awards with a series of 'For Your Consideration' ads. And Michael Bumblis from LA tries to outsmart a fellow 'Seinfeld' obsessive in 'Superfan vs Stapes'. #EPTNotLive

After reading a few random tweets, and working their way through some suggestions for grandparent names for Joe's mum and dad, the boys "Activate the HOLPOPE!” Neil Johnson is on the show to discuss a BIG change to #EPTLive in Monaco (the interview/announcement starts at around the 15-minute mark). James and Joe recap their weekend playing the UKIPT London Cup at the Hippodrome, with some fun stories and interesting hand histories, and Joe talks about his deep run in a tournament on PokerStars NJ in a genuine edition of 'Adventures in Online Poker'. There's a quick review of the last EPT 11 Grand Final TV show. And Zuly Bonilla from NYC competes for some "Chop Pot” goodies in a highbrow edition of 'Superfan vs Stapes'. #EPTNotLive

James is back from holiday and Joe is back in the UK, ahead of the UKIPT London Cup. There's a lot of tweets for the boys to reply to, before they review the most recent episodes of the EPT 11 Grand Final. They're joined (finally!) by Ludovic Geilich, who made a deep run in last year's tournament. He breaks down a number of key hands featured in the TV shows. James and Joe talk about the nominations for the European Poker Awards, having both "served” as members of the nominating panel. And the podcast's resident video games, testing Sean Trembath from Saskatoon on his knowledge of SNES in 'Superfan vs Stapes'. #EPTNotLive

Joe continues to enjoy the LA lifestyle, although he's starting to feel the pinch (as revealed in an impromptu game of 'How Much Does It Cost?'). Jason Mercier joins the boys to talk about his deep run in last year's EPT Grand Final – as documented in the latest TV episode – and his experience of playing on PokerStars in New Jersey. James is shocked (in a good way) at how many people have qualified for Monaco via Spin & Gos. Joe has some great stories about Antonio Esfandiari and Phil Hellmuth from a recent TV shoot in Las Vegas. And, after listening to this week's edition of 'Superfan vs Stapes', you'll probably conclude that Sam Worger from Sheffield regrets choosing 'Friends' as his specialist subject! James and Joe are taking a short Easter break. The next episode of #EPTNotLive will be released on Thursday 7th April 2016.

Joe has a new home in Los Angeles, and is desperate to sub-let his apartment in Jersey City. Talking of New Jersey, Lee Jones makes his first ever appearance on #EPTNotLive to discuss the imminent launch of PokerStars in the Garden State. The boys also talk to Jason Somerville, who's in NJ for a month of Twitching. And there's more Twitch chat, the podcast to relive the highs (flying nuts) and lows (sound issues) of the recent #EPTLive Home Game. In the 'TV Recap', James and Joe talk about the third episode of the EPT 11 Grand Final, and the perils of shooting at sea. Plus, Aiden Dunne from Calgary competes for a Step C ticket and a T-shirt in a slightly different version of 'Superfan vs Stapes'.

Joe Stapleton is in the closet. Literally. He whispers his way through the show, as he broadcasts from his temporary "home” in Los Angeles. The boys kick things off with a major Social Media Beef, before breaking down the first two episodes of the EPT 11 Grand Final (available to watch at pokerstars.tv). These TV shows feature a random Craig David gag, and showcase the talents of Ole Schemion, Maria Ho and Ludovic Geilich – who was booked to appear as the guest on this week's podcast, but never showed up. There's a reminder of the Club ID and Invitation Code for the #EPTLive Home Game Club, plus a preview of the UKIPT London festival, before Lucas Summers demonstrates his knowledge of 'Back to the Future' in 'Superfan vs Stapes'. #EPTNotLive

Although, in the run-up to this week's recording, Stapes went missing, and Matt was on stand-by to play the role of Uncle Daddy! Luckily, Hartigan's journalistic skills saved the day. After kicking things off with a few post-Dublin anecdotes - including James's near–death experience and an update on Matt's mouth - Joe recalls the glamour and glitz of the American Poker Awards and talks about his work as a "seat filler” during the ceremony. There are details of the forthcoming #EPTLive Home Game, including the all-important Club ID and Invitation Code. Plus, find out if Teun van Dijk from The Netherlands is a Muggle or a Wizard in a Harry Potter-themed edition of 'Superfan vs Stapes'. And the show concludes with the boys' (delayed) review of 'Deadpool'. #EPTNotLive

James, Joe and Matt are back on location, and bring you some tidbits from their trip to Dublin. There's also a leftover anecdote from the PCA involving Matt's mouth, while Joe's accidental use of "only” instead of "mostly” sparks one of the most ridiculously over-the-top spats in #EPTNotLive history. This podcast also features some excerpts from the 'Stapleton Sex Tape', Joe's 'Adventures in Online Poker', and details of the first ever EPT Live Home Game on Thursday 10th March. Plus, Feargal Moore, aka: 'The Bananas Guy', competes in a Tarantino-themed edition of 'Superfan vs Stapes'. (This is the audio version of the show that first aired on #EPTLive from Dublin.)

It's the EPT Dublin Preview Show! Ahead of their trip to the Irish capital for seven days of live streaming on PokerStars.tv, James and Joe look ahead to the latest European Poker Tour festival. They're joined by Max Silver, a Dublin resident who won the UKIPT Main Event there in 2010. This week's episode also features a couple of rants from James (one of them directed at Daniel Negreanu) and the sorry tale of how Joe's late-night "antics” have resulted in a major dispute with his next door neighbour. It's fair to say that 'Superfan vs Stapes' doesn't go according to plan. But, thanks to the reluctant participation of Paul the TV producer, Joe is able to compete in a game of 'Lord of the Rings' trivia. #EPTNotLive

James and Joe haven't been anywhere, and their TV shows aren't currently on the air, but they still have plenty to talk about. There was a great response to last week's podcast, so James empties the Social Media Mailbox, before Randy Lew (aka: Nanonoko) joins the boys from Melbourne to discuss the Aussie Millions. Randy worked alongside Jason Somerville on the insanely popular Twitch stream from the event, and offers his thoughts on whether #EPTLive should be cards up or cards down. There's a rundown of the #StarsFun activities planned for EPT Dublin, while Joe treats us to some 'Too Hot for TV' behind-the-scenes chat from the PCA 2016 Invitational. And Javier from Mexico demonstrates how much he knows about 'Breaking Bad' in 'Superfan vs Stapes'. Want to appear on the show? Please tweet your Superfan application, including your specialist subject. #EPTNotLive
