Hey everybody, AJ Benzzie here with fame is a bitch. This is your show for Friday

February 17th, 2023. I think it's most apt to call it

forlorn Friday. There's a couple of sad stories in here that I think

most of us know, but I wanted to comment on.

A couple of them I did comment on on the the patreon show, but these are significant deaths and

I hate to just leave them there and not hit them for you freebies, freebie people.

But hopefully this will get you to move on over one day and say, you know what?

AJ's done this enough. Let's let's let's head on over and pop for the five bucks.

But either way, a lot of things were cooking and popping in the last few days.

I was busy in the poker room recording for many hours each day this week and I'm going to come

back one more week, first week of March. So not quite out of the woods yet, but I'm not complaining

because I love the gig. And you know, it's great to be in the booth with the poker pro like Nick

Schoeman and here's some great stories about some of the poker players of the past who died and

moved on and just real characters, real crazy stuff. If you knew these guys, I'd tell you the stories,

but most of you don't know guys like the grids, they called them. This is just a lot of fun stories

from these old timers and back when guys brought guns to poker games and literally left them on the

table. You know, some crazy bad shit went on back in the day. What's amazing when I don't really

tell you guys is about the money that's thrown around. It's nothing for our show to have a half

million dollars on the table on a single hand of poker. And these guys, whether it's John

Robert Belond or Eric person or Scott Robel or Eric Robel, no, Eric person, Scott Robel.

Jennifer Tilley even, the great actress, man, they just throw it around.

I was watching an episode I was taping an episode and voicing it. Jennifer Tilley lost her money.
