    People love that movie but I find it to be very stoic and comedic.
    I agree with the comedic take of this Harvey Weinstein (executive producer) movie:

    I laughed more at this part.
    Perhaps the problem for me is to try to disassociate Robin Williams from Mork and Mindy and now he is some depressed quack!?
    I guess we have to just disagree on this movie.

    No disagreement here, but they did get the accents right and there were funny scenes. The scene you linked to above comes off more mushy than funny for me. Although I see the comedic aspect of over-the-top sentimentality so I totally understand your point.

    Back when Howard Stern had comedians helping him to be funny...

    Always a good listen.
    A little bit redundant this time but I'm in favor of Iron Mike being a guest on Rogan every 6 months or so.

    That's how I felt about it too.

    Thanks for the Update... been so busy lately I haven't been able to listen to them for a long time.
    When I do I will have 10 or so hours to catch up on which will be nice!
    I can't believe the month I am having.
    I literally won enough money in the last 3 weeks to be able to never have to worry about any work or bills for the next 50 years lol lol lol.
    They will never catch me now!
    It might be time to actually invest in a business or two.
    I bet I can parasite a few free Corona Government Cheese Loans still.
    Sorry for the bragging.
    I'm pumped up and excited.
    I forget that other people in the world are starving or at war.
    Uncle is feeling a lot better too but I got this feeling I'm gonna lose him.
    I can't dwell on that too long or Niagara Falls.
    He is the last of my immediate blood relatives.
    Not counting my wife, who certainly has become a spiritual and blood relative IMO that is.

    No problem Monet. This was a strong episode IMHO because Barnes joined in for the commentary so there was great insight and chemistry between the three. Congrats on the big wins - creating peace of mind is what it's all about.

    I've been working on the idea of having 20k liquid per year x 50 years.
    I figure I can take care of my wife and myself on that.
    We paid off the house long ago so that is set and it actually went up 50k in value in the last 2 years.
    But counting all expenses it is safe to say that I need 24k per year in cash to cover everything.
    She works anyways so you know... Free Insurance for me and that money just goes in the bank and is never touched.
    Anyways, whatever... don't mean to bore you with the way I think and or analyze things.
    NATO probably NUKE the entire world anyway.

    Oh and don't get me wrong.
    Math is 100% without a doubt King but I seen so many people go on runs for 500k to 2 Million playing Negative EV Games like Dice that it will make your head spin.
    Take Owning Mahoney for example.
    He ran it up to what... 5 or 10 Million or something like that.
    Or how about that guy Craig Carton!?
    He had multiple times where he started with 500k playing Black Jack and was up to 2 Million inside of 30 minutes.
    The list goes on and on and on and on with virtual coin flip games.
    I know the APs want to discredit this sort of thing and always focus on the math but I am telling you that their is something about shoving it in and breaking it off that can work in the short term.
    Aggressive Crazy Players who Bet More to Win More sometimes just do mind boggling things.
    A guy during the WSOP a few years back was playing 20k a hand at BlackJack and went on a run.
    Soon he was playing something like 100k per hand.
    He won something like 5 Million.
    I'm just saying.
    Personally I have had runs from 3k to 300k and I just destroyed the Book for an ugodly amount in the last couple of weeks before the 6 teamer.
    Believe it or Not... just sharing my experience.
    It might help someone out there.
    It might get them busted in a heartbeat too lol.
    That's why I didn't mind MDawg.
    True or not I found it inspirational.

    Recall that Archie Karas, that Greek dude , ran it up to 40 mil (out in Vegas IIRC) before giving it all back. Anyway, for certain, when you figure in your mailers (Hot Sucker),free play,casino comps, and, perfect discarding, you are playing the math - really I should not even mention it as it goes without saying.

    A little controversial as some believe it was staged to promote the Casino but I'm not so sure because he literally had damn near every chip in the joint.
    Ironically, when I played poker I used to see Archie at the Bike in LA.

    Yes I guess there's a chance it was staged. However, if it was staged then it was a peculiar move to go on to say that he gave it all back,so I lean somewhat heavily toward it not being staged. One other thing I forgot to mention about the most recent Baldwin drop which I'm surprised I forgot to mention earlier since it dovetails into what we were just talking about in regards to massive -EV run-ups was the following:
    Barnes stated that there was no way Vegas mass murderer Paddock got his wealth from video poker and that Barnes was virtually certain he got it from money-laundering or as a CIA asset IIRC (or both).
    So while these guys on America's Untold Stories are pretty sharp, in this they are clueless (in the sense that they shouldn't assume that's impossible that he got a lot of it or even all of it from VP - obviously he could have). Like we talked just about, Paddock could've easily gone on some sort of high denom (100-hand $5 along with multi-hand [3,5,10 hand] $25,$50 or $100 denom for example - I seem to recall he played at nosebleed stakes) super-duper run-up with dealt royals and other premium hands. I'm not writing off the idea that Paddock got some of his fortune from CIA shit and laundering, but there's no fucking way I am writing off the idea that he got it from VP. Of course he could have gotten it from VP.

    I knew a Crazy Chinese Girl that played a ton of 9/6 double double.
    Dollar and some 5 Dollar.
    She ran it up to just over 250k in one year.
    And she played horrid.
    I mean she didn't know strategy whatsoever.

    Anyone can run up huge amounts on any game.
    Except maybe Reels... Those Fuckers will eat your money like you can't imagine lol but you know this.
    Like I said before.
    A lady at the Skyline years ago hit 6 Royals on 4 different Single Line Machines in about 6 to 8 hours!
    That's why I don't get on Alan too much about the 18 yo's.
    I dunno man.
    That's a tough one to swallow but I seen some goofy shit over the last 32 years in this town.
    Most of what I have done is exploitation but I've been on some monster runs.
    My old pal taught me that Bet More Win More bullshit.
    It's impulsive but interesting.
    Once you get so far ahead you really do have the hammer.
    I can't back that up... that's experience talking.

    One of my favorite run 'em up and lose it all but make friends with a guy who has 7 Million+ in the bank movies...
    You should of stood Nicky.
    You would of won.
    I came in with 10,000.
    I lost 10,000.
    No big deal.

    One of the best lines in the movie... "I need FUCK YOU money!"
