Episode 177 – 19/03/2020 – Danny Zuker

A lot has happened/changed in the last seven days, and the boys are unable to ignore the impact of real world events, as they host this week's podcast from their respective homes. They discuss the postponement of EPT Sochi and EPT Monte Carlo, and, in the absence of new live tournaments, their plans for a series of live streams taking a retrospective look at the early seasons of the European Poker Tour. Production has halted on poker movie 'The Card Counter', and Joe has a few anecdotes from the final few days of filming. He and James are then joined by comedy writer Danny Zuker, Executive Producer of the long-running sitcom 'Modern Family', who's played high stakes Hold'em with Negreanu, Hellmuth and Esfandiari, and is on board with Joe's plans for a series of (play money) PokerStars Home Games in the coming weeks. Finally, Ryan Abbott from the UK picks 'The 40 Year Old Virgin' as his specialist subject in 'Superfan vs Stapes'. Please don't forget to comment, like and subscribe to #PokerInTheEars.
