In probably one of our most fun shows, Jeff Madsen and WPT Royal Flush Girls Sunisa Kim and Jennifer Haley joined us for This Week in Poker.

While we didn’t get into conspiracies too much with Madsen, we are dedicating a podcast with him later this week for a “healthy discussion” on his views about 9/11, the moon landing, JFK, and more.

Did a dinner break episode of the Wicked Chops Podcast with Jeff Madsen and Jessica Welman.
