00:00What's up, Cakesy? You are decked out in your MGM National Harvard gear.
00:03I am, yes. I came straight from there last night, and Eric Bickle here, too.
00:09I want to hear about it.
00:10I mean, it's a tale of woe.
00:13It's a tale that's been told many times.
00:14We like that tale.
00:16Where eight players cashed, and I got bounced in 12th place.
00:20So I did exactly what I hate to do.
00:22I play... Now, I love playing poker. It's fun.
00:24It's a great time. It's a community thing.
00:26You get to hang out with people, meet some new people. It's fun.
00:30But when you're close to the money, and then you don't make the money,
00:33and then you get four hours of broken sleep,
00:36because you're running through things in your head,
00:38like how you could have gotten into the money,
00:41it's frustrating sometimes.
00:42Oh, I'm sure it is.
00:43So it's a little bit raw, because I went to bed at 12, 15, 12, 20.
00:50But it's all good.
00:51I'll run it back again next month and hope to make the cash,
00:55which has been elusive.
00:56I'm 0 for 2026 at this point.
00:59But in cashing, in my own event...
01:01Give me the breakdown on the last hand you had.
01:05Or key hands.
01:06Well, I mean, the ending hand was I had king 10 suited.
01:10I was like, this is about as good as it gets for the stack that I have.
01:13I got my last 100K in.
01:15Guy with a mountain of chips said,
01:17I want to win your bounty.
01:18He had king, queen.
01:20I didn't get any help.
01:21All right.
01:21Boom.
01:22To the showers.
01:23Was there another hand during the tournament that just killed you?
01:26Not really.
01:27It was more of a slow bleed than anything.
01:29I won three bounties.
01:30I was like cruising along.
01:31I was doing okay.
01:32Took some hits.
01:33And then...
01:33So you won some cash.
01:35Yeah, I won some cash.
01:36I won a little bit in the cash game beforehand.
01:38But I want the tournament results.
01:41You said, though, that it was running through your mind.
01:43It was still end of the day, end of the night positive because you won money.
01:47It was a net positive.
01:48You said you were struggling to sleep because it was running through your mind.
01:52Did you have your beer at night?
01:54I had ample beers leading up to...
01:56Okay.
01:57I had a big Sapporo Black while I was having my sushi dinner.
02:02And then I had a couple more over at Voltaggio with some buddies who were saddled up to the bar.
02:06Gotcha.
02:07And then I had to slam on the brakes because that was like almost four beers.
02:11And that was before seven?
02:12That was pre-the-tournament starting.
02:15Yeah.
02:15So I did a lot of work between...
02:17You had a nice day buzz.
02:18I did a lot of work between like 6 and 7.15 when the cards were in the air.
02:25I compressed my boozing into an hour and 10 minutes.
02:29That's the way it worked.
02:30So it was all good.
02:32Good turnout.
02:34Fun time as always at MGM National Harbor.
02:36Just tournament results are a little bit elusive right now.
02:39But that's tournament poker.
02:40Sometimes that's the way it is.
02:41And then you get one big cash and then it makes up for all of it.
02:45That one big elusive cash.
02:47It's needed.
02:48It's out there.
02:48It's out there on the horizon.
02:50And I'm just stalking it at this point.
02:52You'll get it.
02:53What was for dinner?
02:54I'm sorry.
02:54What did you already say?
02:55Now, I had to scale back.
02:57I had to scale my dinner back because I would usually go to Bento, which is the sushi spot.
03:02And I would get a poke bowl.
03:04I would get a side of rolls.
03:05But because of this dumb colonoscopy that I'm doing tomorrow, I had to order plain white rice and just tuna
03:13on top.
03:14No vegetables.
03:14What time is the colonoscopy?
03:1611.30 a.m. tomorrow.
03:19So today is a horrible day.
03:21That makes it harder when it's later in the day.
03:23It's not great.
03:24But today is a horrible day.
03:26I just packed a lot of pain into one day.
03:28One, no sleep.
03:30Yep.
03:31Two, I can only have clear liquids up until 6 p.m.
03:36Then the prep starts at 6 p.m.
03:38Yep.
03:39And then I'm going to be running back and forth from wherever I am to the bathroom.
03:44And then I do another round of prep in the morning.
03:46Then I go for the procedure.
03:48It's going to be a terrible day.
03:49Also, I have a dentist trip at 1 p.m.
03:52Just to maximize my pain for Thursday, heading into a colonoscopy Friday.
03:58I have a dental appointment today at Elegant Smiles in Alexandria.
04:02I had gone a decade without going to the dentist.
04:05Jesus, now I'm back on the regular plan.
04:07You have a dental sponsor?
04:09I'm jelly.
04:10I'm a little bit jelly of that.
04:13I flossed last night for the first time in weeks.
04:16As if that's going to dupe them.
04:17Yeah, I did some last night.
04:18I hate the dreaded floss.
04:20I just have never been a regular flosser.
04:22And I hate that stupid lecture that you get every time.
04:25I'm going to get it.
04:26I've done the last-minute cramming, but I know it's not going to be enough.
04:30Flossing, the extra with just a manual pick that I get in there.
04:34I need to really get the nooks and crannies, but it's not going to be enough.
04:39It's just not going to be enough.
04:40As long as I have no cavities, I'm okay.
04:42No cavities, don't need any crowns.
04:44I'm expecting some sort of bad report from the dentist.
04:47I don't know what it is going to be.
04:48He might tell you you need a cavity filled or something.
04:50But I don't have any dental pain.
04:51I don't like, my teeth aren't falling out of my head.
04:54Yeah, you're going to be fine.
04:55I think I'm okay.
04:56You're going to be fine.
04:57I think I'm good.
04:58Just don't go to my dentist because they were taken over by private equity company.
05:04I told you this yesterday, right?
05:05You did, yes.
05:06My wife went to the dentist last year.
05:09Actually, you know, less than 12 months ago.
05:13No cavities.
05:14Okay.
05:15They sold out to this private equity company.
05:17Yeah.
05:18She went back like two months ago.
05:20They said, you have nine cavities.
05:22Nine cavities in the span of under a year?
05:24It's impossible.
05:25They're lying.
05:26They said, here's the bill.
05:27It's going to be $1,800.
05:29Right.
05:30There's no chance she has nine cavities.
05:32Let's go somewhere else.
05:32Oh, we are.
05:33We're going to go to my other dentist that I've been going to for years.
05:35That seems like a bit of a shale.
05:36You went from no cavities to nines?
05:39So here's the thing.
05:40I think it's possible one dentist missed the cavities?
05:42No, no, no, no, no.
05:43It's probably like it's a little, little black thing.
05:46Exactly.
05:47Oh, yeah, it's a cavity.
05:48That's my experience with my dentist who's very chill.
05:51Yeah.
05:52He says, here's some things.
05:53You could do it now or just wait.
05:55You know, just keep an eye on it.
05:56They're on a watch list.
05:58Yep.
05:58Those are probably things that you're watching.
06:00Whatever it is, I don't believe them.
06:02They just want to hammer you.
06:03Of course.
06:04They want you to back in there.
06:05They want your money.
06:06Go see my guy.
06:06He'll tell you you're fine.
06:07I'm sure.
06:08Hey, real quick.
06:09Yes.
06:09It's a good thing, obviously, that we're all doing our colonoscopies.
06:13Of course.
06:13Did you see what happened with Steven Garcia, who's played quarterback at South Carolina?
06:17I saw on Twitter yesterday that they were firing up a GoFundMe because he has stage
06:22four colorectal cancer.
06:24Yeah, stage four.
06:25He's, I mean, I don't know how old he is.
06:27Early 30s?
06:28I don't know.
06:28I don't know his age.
06:29He played from 2008 to 2011.
06:32So, call him maybe mid-30s.
06:34That's crazy.
06:35I know.
06:36You have to get scanned for it.
06:37Stage four colon cancer.
06:39Incredible.
06:40That's good.
06:40Incredible.
06:41Somebody said something on a, that was a fantasy football podcast, like a year, year
06:45and a half ago, that will always stick with me.
06:47He was talking, like, he's probably around our age, maybe five years younger.
06:51He said, I'm not afraid of dying.
06:53I am afraid of dying for something that's preventable.
06:56Yeah.
06:56Which colon cancer is if you're regularly screened and you get your colonoscopy.
07:01Yeah.
07:01I know this is old man radio for the youngins listening out there, but look.
07:06Can we talk about some cheery?
07:07These are our lives.
07:08All right.
07:08What do you want to talk about?
07:08I thought you were going to say the one thing you remember is draft a dual threat quarterback
07:13instead of drafting just a drop back quarterback.
07:16I don't need to remember that.
07:17It's just, that's part and parcel.
07:18That's, I mean, duh.
07:20Everybody knows that.
07:21Right, right, right.
07:21I mean, if you can get your hands on one of those guys you draft.
07:23All right, Mr. Bickle, what do you want to talk about this year?
07:25No, no, no, I just said you're going to live today, right?
07:27I'm excited about that.
07:28Supposed to, but my boy Chris Heck hadn't sent me tickets yet.
07:30He sent Bickle eight tickets already.
07:32No, no, no, I don't think I've got them yet.
07:34He just said done.
07:35Oh, he didn't get it.
07:36And he said so-and-so will send you.
07:37Oh, yeah.
07:38Well, that's what he told me about four days ago.
07:40Yeah, you're, well, that's what?
07:42Now he's busy.
07:43He's a busy guy.
07:44He played the pro-am yesterday.
07:45He said it was raining all day.
07:46But I'm supposed to go today, yes.
07:49And you have parking secured.
07:51That's what he told me.
07:52Which is always critical.
07:53It's actually the most critical thing.
07:55It doesn't, they don't tee off till, you know, shotgun start at 105.
07:58Yeah.
07:58So we've got some time.
07:59But I'm supposed to go to Trump today for live golf, yes.
08:03Are you going to play some wagers on the live golf?
08:05Of course.
08:06I mean, you probably should.
08:08I mean, might as well, right?
08:10I'm taking Taylor Gooch.
08:12That's our guy.
08:13I'm taking Taylor Gooch in whatever tournament matchup is offered.
08:16Got a soft spot for the Gooch.
08:18The Goochie Gooch.
08:19Good dude.
08:20But why wouldn't I play some wagers?
08:21I think you will.
08:22What is the next major?
08:24PGA.
08:25In like two weeks?
08:26Two and a half weeks?
08:28Oh, here you go.
08:28Michael says, not a problem, Eric.
08:30The more the merrier.
08:31Eight tickets in one of our hospitality areas and two parking passes being shipped momentarily.
08:36Ship it.
08:36All right.
08:37Well, I think I got him.
08:37Hopefully he's following up with me, too.
08:40Yeah.
08:40Sending them all at the same time.
08:41You might be cooked.
08:42I might be.
08:43Sounds like he's got his hands full with junkies comps.
08:46I might be cooked on that.
08:46All the way around.
08:47Yeah.
08:47Okay.
08:47Here you go.
08:48Parking.
08:49Yeah.
08:49I got two things from Live Golf.
08:50Parking and what is the maiden?
08:53That's the sponsor.
08:54Maiden Live Golf.
08:55Yeah.
08:55That's what it's called.
08:56Yeah.
08:57Silly.
08:58You're locked in.
08:59I'm sorry.
09:00All right.
09:00Coming up on an open line Thursday, we've rescheduled Paul Tabone to join us today at nine
09:05o'clock.
09:05We had some technical difficulties yesterday.
09:07It was meant to be because they had lost two days ago.
09:11Yeah.
09:11And he was supposed to be on.
09:12But we have the technically.
09:13And they pounded the twins last night.
09:14And we like to have them on after wins, yes.
09:16Just pwned them real good.
09:17It was meant to be.
09:17So he's on at nine o'clock.
09:20Josh Robbins, who covers the Wizards for The Athletic, he's going to join us at 925 because
09:25a big day coming up for the Wizards on May 10th is the NBA draft lottery.
09:30So that is big.
09:32When we come back, we're going to play dead or alive in honor of a big name that passed
09:39recently, Ted Turner, a guy who we were always like, is Ted Turner dead or alive?
09:43Not sure about that.
09:44He passed.
09:45I think it was yesterday or the day before.
09:47I think it was the day before, yeah.
09:48He had been really seen in public in a long time, right?
09:50I guess he had been struggling.
09:51Not sure.
09:52Yeah.
09:52So people can call now at 800-636-1067.
09:55Get lined up to win a pair of tickets to see Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan double trouble
10:00tour when it comes to Nationals Park, August 20th.
10:04So later this summer, they'll be there.
10:06You'll have a chance to win tickets.
10:07When we come back, we'll play dead or alive next here on the Junks.
