@KatieStoneHTX @abarone68 @jeffplatt @WSOP I apologize for matching your tone.

[Joe “Stapes” Stapleton @Stapes]

@abarone68 @KatieStoneHTX @jeffplatt @WSOP Me too!

[Joe “Stapes” Stapleton @Stapes]

@KatieStoneHTX @abarone68 @jeffplatt @WSOP If your issue was the choice of clip, I think "I think his question was in poor taste" and "he only asked one question" were a poor choice of words.

[Joe “Stapes” Stapleton @Stapes]

@abarone68 @KatieStoneHTX @jeffplatt @WSOP I would love to see more low stakes on stream and I believe I'll be covering the $500 Colossus two days next week. Katie tends to make things about herself, not your fault.

[Joe “Stapes” Stapleton @Stapes]

@KatieStoneHTX @abarone68 @jeffplatt @WSOP If the quality and originality your ideas or ability to execute them matched your hubris and sense of entitlement your poker shows would blow the rest of us out of the water.

(Apologies if you find the word "blow" tasteless.)

[Joe “Stapes” Stapleton @Stapes]

My answer to this and most questions like it, which I promise is not intentionally obtuse: ideas are easy, execution is difficult. Poker TV has been around for a long, long time and generally most ideas have been thought of already. Maybe yours hasn't, but there is generally a reason things are done they way they are. That reason isn't usually that no one's thought of it, but they are difficult to execute or simply have been tried by don't work. Either due to lack of interest or poor execution.

[Joe “Stapes” Stapleton @Stapes]

@KatieStoneHTX @jeffplatt @abarone68 @WSOP Very much looking forward to the poker show you produce. You've got all the answers, it will probably be amazing!!

@JarosM73 I’m not a math guy.

@jeffplatt @KatieStoneHTX @abarone68 @WSOP Don’t let facts get in the way of Katie’s opinions, Jeff.

20 years ago I made my first trip to Vegas. I saw the legends in the Poker Hall of Fame and dreamed joining them one day. I'm 40 now and finally eligible. It's up to the fans to decide who the 8 nominees are. If you think I belong, I'd appreciate your vote. https://t.co/8kgXAl66ZY

RT’ing for awareness (he’s so real for this).

[NICKY P 🧙👨‍🍳 @Nick_Palma1010]

Imma go to a dope island for 2-3 weeks after WSOP if any girls want an all expense paid trip you can hit me up 🤣

[Joe “Stapes” Stapleton @Stapes]

@KatieStoneHTX @abarone68 @WSOP I never had a doubt.

[Joe “Stapes” Stapleton @Stapes]

@KatieStoneHTX @abarone68 @WSOP You should try watching the whole show. As usual you’ve got big opinions whilst having no actual knowledge.

[Tokabu @Tokabu777]

@jeffplatt welcome to the WSOP COUNTDOWN team @LexyGavinPoker great summer ahead gwluwuluuu

[Joe “Stapes” Stapleton @Stapes]

@chrisgosney4 How do you know that. Also. Couldn’t they have claimed their money? Many, many people did when Stars made them whole.

[Joe “Stapes” Stapleton @Stapes]

Rob’s got me blocked so I can’t reply to this thread, but I appreciate all a y’all who went to bat for me. 🦇

[Mister_Keating @Mister_Keating]

@RobKuhn_ Stapes’s mind works 1000x faster than I can comprehend and when I catch up I’m always 2 jokes behind.

Dude is a supreme talent.

@chrisgosney4 I got paid by full tilt too during that time. Are you sure Andy’s check was huge? If I worked for Enron am I responsible for making its customers whole? I understand your vitriol but of the people to blame and who got rich, Andy isn’t one of them.
