Episode 201 – 10/12/2020 – Michael Cera

Following their 200th anniversary celebration, James and Joe present the after-party! And, having just spoken to the writer/director of 'Molly's Game', they now get to interview one of the stars of the movie, Michael Cera, also known for his roles in 'Scott Pilgrim vs the World', 'Superbad' and 'Arrested Development'. Michael is a huge poker fan, and reveals he relished the opportunity to portray Player X in Aaron Sorkin's adaptation of Molly Bloom's book. He's also a regular in one of Joe's home games, and, on that subject, Mr Stapleton shares some hand histories from a recent tournament (spoiler alert: one or more of them MAY be a thinly-veiled bad beat story). Meanwhile, Michael Hughes from Calgary competes for a #SundayMillion ticket and a #PokerInTheEars T-shirt in a 'Heathers'-themed edition of 'Superfan vs Stapes'.

Every week, the hosts of PokerStars TV (James Hartigan and Joe Stapleton) bring you a behind-the-scenes look at what it's like being two regular folks on the international poker circuit. Told from the perspective of a cranky British dad (Hartigan) and an undateable American bachelor (Stapes), Poker in the Ears is a mostly uncensored take on the world of professional poker. The hosts also regularly call in favours, in the form of guest spots from their big-shot celebrity poker-playing friends. And they routinely hold on-air competitions, providing chances for listeners to join them on tour.
