INTERESTING "PUMPED" FACTS"
- To our knowledge we're the longest running poker pro interview internet broadcast show. Say that 5 times really fast.

- We've given away over $25,000.00 in cash and tournament tickets during our show.

- We've had the same day and time slot since our first show. Wednesday's at 7pm West 10pm East Coast.

- Funniest thing or most interesting thing ever said by a guest? Hellmuth said something to the effect... "If anyone out there wants to play me heads up for $1Million and you win I'll also give you my sperm."

- Interview I'm still recovering from. Esfandiari & Laak together.

- We booked WPT Champ Roy Winston three times and he never showed. Don't expect to ever hear him on our show. My friend Lara is his Manager/Booking Agent and it's not her fault. If you're reading this Lara, YOU ROCK but he doesn't.

- Chris Moneymaker did our show while he was playing poker at a final table. During the show he said three times... "Hold on I'm going all in."

- Rep. Shelly Berkley (NV) did our show from from a cloakroom on the Senate floor and had to put us on hold 4 times while she went to the floor to make a vote. It's a good thing we were taping!

- Worst moment ever was when I asked TJ Cloutier if he gambled on anything other then playing poker. I was unaware of his Craps "issues". Let's just say his voice quivered a bit but he took it like man. Only AFTER the show was over did I find out that my size 10 foot had been placed in my mouth. I called TJ and apologized up and down the river and he was more than gracious.

- Our first guest was Chad Brown at the time he was still doing "Ultimate Poker Challenge". I miss that show!

- We did a Rummy show with a Rummy freeroll. Our guest was a Rummy world champ who did nothing but promote a Rummy site WE WERE NOT PLAYING ON!

- We booked a so-called pro and when we called him for his live interview he said, "I can't do it I'm having dinner." He was booked two weeks in advance. I'm still so mad I won't mention his name. If I ever sit at a table with him I won't tell him who I am until I kick his ass to the rail.

- The three interviews I still talk about the most were with Mike Sexton, Josh Arieh and Andy Black who was or final interview of 2008. Three of the best interviews ever. Worst? I'll never tell because I want him to be my friend on MySpace.

- The two interviews I worked hardest for were Robert Williamson III due to his schedule and Andy Black who took forever to track down. Without a doubt they were both worth the wait.

- We try not to book anyone too far in advance because we all know that poker players follow the money. Only on rare occasions do we book more than 2 weeks in advance.

- Guests who have been on the most times: Tony Guerrera (author and good buddy), Annie Duke and Mark Kroon.

- Rounders chat is smokin' during our show and we have a female in there for almost every show who demands we ask our male guests if they wear boxers or briefs. We love you WoohooSue!

- When Marc or Wolf has to take a show off we generally have pro sit in as co-host.

- We've had the last two Dream Week winners on "Poker After Dark" on our show. Paul Featherstone was our first and he's a friend right here on MySpace.

- We've only taped 6 interviews in our long history. Everything else has been live. The last two that were taped were Andy Black and Juha Helppi due to severe time differences.

- Best part about our time slot? No live show after us so we can go over our one hour whenever to mood or interview hits us., but generally we stay right at about one hour. Longest show? 1 hour 45 minutes.

- When we take live calls there are numbers for the U.S., Canada and the U.K.

Come and hang out with us... Our show is like we're having coffee at a diner just talking about poker. Laid back and when the mood hits us or the guest wants it... some good "language"!
