Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Bucks Xt and Show podcast.

Welcome again Clay Travis Bucks Xt and Show. I am Clay Travis and we are joined now by Texas

Senator Ted Cruz. And I spent Friday playing poker for probably five six seven hours against

Senator Cruz involved Phil Helmuth Doyle Brunson. Many other different individuals. It was an

awesome time. Senator Cruz, appreciate you coming on. You love playing poker. I have not played a

lot of poker in my day, but I do know Phil Helmuth and Doyle Brunson are two of the most iconic

poker players of all time. How much fun did you have sitting down being able to go ahead to head

with those guys? Well, Clay, it was just ridiculous fun. It was truly a bucket list moment. You and I

were both there playing on poker after dark. It'll be it'll air in a month or two and to have a

chance to go up against all time great. You know, Doyle Brunson, Texas Dolly has two world

series championships. I have ten bracelets all together. Helmuth has fifteen bracelets. Just

those two guys together have twenty five bracelets between them. It was crazy to be sitting

on the table with them. We also had the YouTuber, Mr. Beast, who was playing with us. And I got to say,

it was one of those moments that we'll tell the grandkids about that.

So it was an awesome time and I appreciate you inviting me to be a part of that table. We were

playing for charity, by the way. So there are three great charities that are going to

be awarded the winnings there when that thing airs and everybody can see how it goes.

Now, Mr. Beast is a YouTuber and I was talking about this earlier. Lots of people may or may not

know who he is, but he's got 67.1 million YouTube subscribers. And by the way, that's bigger than

the population of France, Italy, basically the same as the population of England to kind of put

into perspective how many people that is. And some of our listeners out there won't know him,

but my kids and your kids, I mean, he might as well be Elvis. Yeah, it was our kids were giddy
