00:00Jimmy Butler apparently, uh, has made somebody mad in the poker world.

00:04Ah, what else is new?

00:07What do you remember?

00:08Do you remember this?

00:08Uh, this thing that went viral is a couple of months ago in the summer.

00:11He was doing a poker game with Neymar.

00:15Uh, Ryan Garcia was there.

00:17Super annoying.

00:19Yeah.

00:19Ryan Garcia, the first viral videos that went out of this thing was they

00:24were surrounding Jimmy Butler.

00:25Cause everybody could notice that Ryan Garcia, when he, you know, was in the

00:29midst of, I think the, the, the pinnacle of his meltdown, which I don't even know

00:32it was over, but he was annoying the holy hell out of Jimmy Butler.

00:36You could tell by that.

00:37I think Jimmy Butler was there to, uh, make money, hang out with his friend.

00:41Neymar.

00:41We know that he loves Neymar and, uh, Dan Bilzerian.

00:46Is it Bilzerian, Bilzerian?

00:48How about it's damn phony pants McGee.

00:51He got really mad at Jimmy Butler.

00:52He called Jimmy Butler a baby because he wouldn't stick around and keep gambling

00:56with them because Jimmy took his winnings and left.

00:58So he was upset with, uh, with that, with Jimmy Butler, but apparently this,

01:02uh, individual Nick Vertucci, who runs this, uh, what is the name of the show?

01:09Hustler casino live.

01:12He was very mad because he said Jimmy Butler was a bleep hole.

01:15He was a bleep hole to everybody there at the, at the show.

01:18And, uh, he, he went on to tell this story yesterday while on another

01:23episode of his live stream casino.

01:26Cause they stream all these celebrity poker games.

01:29Uh, Bruce Buffer is at this one.

01:31Bruce Buffer, of course, a voice of the, who's a very big poker player.

01:34Yeah.

01:35Um, also very calm.

01:36It's, it's kind of odd and weird to hear him.

01:38Not really.

01:39He, he seems mellow when, but that character that he goes into, like

01:43Bruce Buffer, when he's doing his thing.

01:46I mean, like you've seen him when he's not, not the brother, not the,

01:49not, not, not the one who, you know, we're very terrified of here.

01:54The other UFC one.

01:56Oh, yeah.

01:56He seems very,

02:01anyway,

02:03oh my God.

02:03They didn't even know they were brothers.

02:05Right.

02:05They did it right.

02:06They did not know they were brothers.

02:07And then he became, uh, first the other guy, Michael, Michael, Michael,

02:14kind of a little bit.

02:16Um, but anyway, here's this guy, you see him here with his basketball jersey.

02:20He comes on here to, uh, say that he hates Jimmy Butler.

02:27Jimmy Butler.

02:29Really?

02:29Yeah.

02:30No, I don't care if someone will clip it and send it to him.

02:37I was, I was right near that interaction.

02:39Nick, that pissed me off too.

02:41Over there.

02:42What happened?

02:43It just, he was just rude to Nick.

02:44It was rude to everybody, but he was rude to me.

02:47Yeah, he was rude.

02:48I didn't see the other one stream or was it off stream?

02:53Over there.

02:54Brian's going to hate this cause it's so politically correct, but I don't

02:56give a, I don't want him back.

02:57Um, oh, so he's banned.

03:00He's banned.

03:01Yeah.

03:01Cause he owns this hustler live casino.

03:03So he's, he is, uh, he's getting ready to ban Jimmy Butler, but he wants

03:07everybody to know that he wants to show everybody that he's going to ban Jimmy

03:10Butler in the midst of this.

03:13And so just on my friend, the damage is done.

03:17Well, he, his ego was hurt definitely by Jimmy Butler.

03:21And now he's trying to pull another play.

03:23This is what I think.

03:24Here's his, uh, his story of what went down with him and, uh, and Jimmy Butler.

03:29Got so, he's got so tilted because he didn't understand it and he didn't want

03:35it, like he, he had to put 3,500 in with aces and it was like, you were trying,

03:38like, he was like, just didn't want to gamble, which whatever.

03:41And then when they put a standup game on, um, and he got in an argument with

03:45and someone else, he was just being, and then he got up and he said this.

03:49And so I'm playing over there, just playing poker.

03:52And Veronica comes to me and goes, you better come up here because he's

03:54standing over there yelling at like, I'm going back to this by blah, blah, blah.

03:58And then I get up there and I hear him going, I'm the real one.

04:01They want this mother back.

04:03They better dah, dah, dah, dah, dah.

04:04They're going to drop a game.

04:05It better be the game.

04:06They say, so hold on.

04:07So it gets better.

04:08It's better.

04:09Oh, it gets better.

04:11I'm the real one.

04:12That sounds like Jimmy Butler.

04:13That does sound like Jimmy Butler.

04:15Why'd you take out the videos?

04:16And I'm there's not more.

04:17I'm putting them in his clips.

04:19Jay, I'm putting them in his clips.

04:20I was doing small bites.

04:23Hey, you do understand how radio works, right?

04:26Okay.

04:27Okay.

04:27You do realize that it was a video.

04:29I'm same concept.

04:31I'm going clip by clip.

04:32Jayfig same concept.

04:34I'm trying to bring along the story.

04:35I didn't want us to watch.

04:36I'm not even lashing out.

04:38You're the one that act like this radio thing is a new thing.

04:42I'll go.

04:43I'm the real one on your phone.

04:47Just now, he's a real one.

04:52Love that.

04:53Anyway, yeah, I can totally see Jimmy Butler at a poker table.

05:01You want the real one back?

05:02You better fix this.

05:03So far, though, I'm not I'm not off Jimmy Butler side.

05:06Like he he is the real one and should be treated as such.

05:10So far, so good.

05:11I do know that poker players get very annoyed, though, if you

05:14don't know the rules.

05:15Okay, dude.

05:16I mean, they're adding extra rules.

05:17Let me pull out our little book for our friends, not to give

05:20us, but to show us to sell.

05:22Oh, dude.

05:24Who is that guy?

05:25What was his name?

05:27Phil Helmuth.

05:29Helmuth.

05:30Yeah.

05:30Phil Helmuth on one time, and he wrote a book that he had

05:36in his pocket.

05:36It was like this big.

05:38Okay.

05:39So he just walked around with a pocket.

05:41So he pulled it out, and he named dropped a thousand people

05:46like he does with the Warriors and all that.

05:48And I was like, oh, he's going to give us a book.

05:51Like, no, you could buy it.

05:53Oh, okay.

05:54I'd like to say that's the last time he ever appeared.

05:57I don't know how that book did in sales.

05:59But anyway, here's more of Nick for Tucci.

06:01He tells us it's going to get better because Jimmy Butler

06:04is here yelling at people saying he's the real one.

06:06And so for Tucci, then decides I'm the boss.

06:09I have to infiltrate here.

06:11I have to say my piece.

06:13And here we go.

06:14So I walk up.

06:15He has met me.

06:16He knows I'm one of the owners of the show, and I'm very

06:18nice to him.

06:19And I come up and I do this.

06:20And I say, Hey, Jimmy, listen, he's got his hand on the

06:26guys. No touching.

06:27Yeah, I feel like he's touching Jimmy Butler.

06:30He's coming up.

06:31He's touching Jimmy Butler's arm is what he is describing

06:34there for our radio audience.

06:35Is there anything I could do for you?

06:37Because, yeah, first thing is, get your hand off my arm.

06:39I did.

06:40And I said, and I didn't move it.

06:42And I said, hold on.

06:43I said, we met.

06:44You may have forgotten.

06:45No big deal.

06:45But I own part of the show.

06:46I just want to help you.

06:47He goes, you want to help me go get my money.

06:49And I said, okay, I said, listen, I don't do that.

06:53And if you want to go get your money, go get your own money.

06:56And I just walked away.

06:57Wow.

06:57Yeah, and then he was yelling.

07:00I'm the real one.

07:01Oh, please give me a break.

07:02Anybody else?

07:03I'm the real one.

07:06Oh, they say that the king is the real something.

07:10I think one.

07:11I don't like I don't show you probably.

07:13She wasn't a real poker player.

07:14I'll tell you that much.

07:15Horrible Bruce.

07:16No, Bruce Bruce on Bruce.

07:20He looks a lot smaller, too.

07:21Well, yeah, he wears very tight.

07:23Yeah, I think it makes him look a little bit more.

07:25Yeah, but no, no, you can tell.

07:27But no, they didn't pay.

07:28I don't think I don't think it was like a paid appearance.

07:30I think he won money like Jimmy Butler.

07:32It was like known out of the tournament doing Butler one.

07:34I think like a hundred plus grand.

07:36So my question is, this gave away some money to them.

07:40Why?

07:41Then like if you ain't paying them to be there,

07:44then why are you complaining about it?

07:46Because all if you ever watched the World Series of poker,

07:50there's always a few people at the food, right?

07:53That's just the nature of Phil Hellmuth.

07:56Because here's how it works.

07:58A poker player who's a professional

08:02only get pissed off about a couple of things.

08:04Wow. And that is if you don't play the rules and he can read you.

08:10So if you're just off the book and do crazy stuff,

08:14then Phil Hellmuth is famous for this.

08:16Say, how could you call that?

08:18You're not supposed to call that.

08:19And the guy goes, just felt it.

08:22That was like, yeah, but that's it's gambling.

08:26Yeah. So but but poker players, because they

08:30they know numbers and how it works and the percentages

08:34and they're sitting here going out, you know, they're like the dumb defenses.

08:38They want to talk out loud so everybody can know how smart they are.

08:43And then when it's not factual, when they show the hand,

08:47that's not possible.

08:48Like, yeah, man, it's cards is gambling.

08:51And so I think thus far, this guy is mostly mad

08:54because Jimmy Butler told him to go get him his money.

08:56Like, he's like, he's like, don't touch me.

08:59And then go get me my money.

09:02He kept his hand there, too. Right.

09:04You know who I am?

09:05No, but like I was 100,000 here.

09:09First of all, here's the deal.

09:12And I mean, this with all sincerity.

09:17You don't just walk up to somebody and put your hands on them.

09:21Right. You just don't want they're angry, too.

09:24I don't even think Jimmy was angry.

09:26I think everybody else was more angry than Jimmy.

09:29Because I think once Jimmy saw the soft spot,

09:32then you start playing it up, right?

09:34Like, oh, I'm in the head. Got him.

09:37And they go, you don't know how to play.

09:39I'm like, you know what?

09:40The funny thing about gambling,

09:42you can still do well and not know what you're doing because it's gambling.

09:47You don't really need to know how you just need to put money down

09:50and take a chance.

09:51Also, you got to also not put your parlays so much the spot

09:55that you get it to plus 9000 and then realize that you always miss it

09:59by one spot because you're greedy and a greedy pig on the hard rock at.

10:03I don't know that happens, but that's just

10:06that's kind of how it goes.

10:07He's also calling Jimmy Butler a phony

10:09because he said Jimmy Butler staged giving his money away

10:12because there was a viral video that came out.

10:14Jimmy was giving out cash.

10:16He's saying this was all staged by Jimmy Butler.

10:19I don't care how many viewers he brings.

10:21I don't want him back.

10:22He was rude. He did not.

10:23He was rude to the dealers.

10:24He was rude to other players.

10:25He was rude to the staff.

10:26I would guess this is the best one.

10:28I'm going to say this.

10:30He he has a whole entourage of people.

10:32There's a couple there's a couple of people peppered in there

10:35and he's standing over by the rail and his guys are all there with phones

10:38acting like he's like being like, you know, like they're videoing him.

10:42He takes out $100 bills after he just told me to go

10:45and starts giving them the people.

10:46But they're his guys.

10:48So they're going to give the money back to him.

10:50But they had people were videoing.

10:52So he had it on video.

10:54So there you go.

10:56So they're going to clip that.

10:57That is going everywhere.

10:59They're going to tag him.

11:00No, for me, they're going to tag him.

11:02All that

11:04works for me, because he needs to know that you can't treat people like that.

11:08There you go. How do?

11:09Well, like, here's what I would say.

11:13Aren't you kind of, in effect, standing on your high horse,

11:17telling that story, you see what I mean?

11:21Like if because if I had that interaction with somebody.

11:25I don't need to justify.

11:28Whatever I think or whatever I did to anybody.

11:32And the fact that he's trying to justify it to all these people who he knows

11:35that you're.

11:37You know, sponsoring this thing or running this thing.

11:40How do we also know that Jimmy Butler didn't just want to give his entourage

11:44or whoever is in his crew hundreds of bucks, even if they weren't fans,

11:47like if he didn't want to pay his guys a little money because they made money

11:50tonight, boys, it's.

11:54It's pretty amazing.

11:55Also, he's kind of saying it like we don't know who his entourage is.

12:01He's always hanging out with.

12:03Well, I just think I just think that in his efforts to show

12:08how good and cool he is, he's actually looking the other way.

12:13It's it looks the opposite when you have to.

12:16When you rush to tell your side of the story,

12:19it's almost like you need approval from everybody else.

12:22When you know it.

12:27Like I give you a perfect example.

12:29So I broke up with a girl years ago

12:32before my and we had mutual friends.

12:36And they would say, hey, so what happened?

12:40Like, who cares? It's done.

12:42Right. So why?

12:43You know, well, she's saying this and she's saying that I'm like,

12:46I don't have to prove myself to you.

12:48It's not going to change anything.

12:50So I just keep it moving.

12:52I just went on about my way.

12:53Like it, you it only time you would tell, like the only reason

12:57why he has to tell that story like that

13:01in that environment, being filmed with all those people.

13:05It's not that he looks a certain way.

13:07Yes. Not so that the whole thing is when I listen.

13:10That's the point I listen.

13:11So we don't have time to get to the last clip.

13:13There's a part where he says he Jimmy wasn't very nice to a 22 year old.

13:17He said, kid, I say that's a man.

13:19But anyway, he. Oh, wait.

13:22That can be a kid.

13:23But if it's an athlete, he's got to be responsible for raising your kids.

13:27But I think it's I think the thing that he just got in his feelings

13:30about the most that Jimmy told me is damn money.

13:33If you're the owner of the place.

13:36Well, if he's your only con, see, here's the funny thing.

13:40I've done things like this.

13:42And you only have one contact.

13:45You know, you're not introduced to everybody else.

13:47You just have the guy who brought you in.

13:50So any issue that you may have, you're always going to go to him.

13:56So I could see why Jimmy would do that.

13:59I'm the real one.

14:01Yeah, he is.

14:03But you don't have to be good to win money in a game of chance.

14:08You can be lucky.
