The duo, who reconnected years after their initial meeting and later married, share jaw-dropping stories of manic highs, devastating lows, and the rollercoaster ride of navigating relationships, mental health, and life in the public eye.

From explosive personal revelations to eye-opening discussions about stigma, therapy, and survival, this podcast isn’t afraid to tackle the topics that others shy away from. Daniel and Amanda bring humor, heart, and hard-hitting truths to every episode, creating a space where no subject is off-limits.

Best pokercast I've listened to in years. Been a kid poker fan since 2003, so might be bias. Not a strategy show which is refreshing. Keep it up! 10/10
