Hello listeners! Welcome to this week’s episode of Gamblin’ Man. We have a great podcast for you guys today. It’s your host Hal “Gamblin’ Man” Wallace and I’m hella excited to get this one started. We’ll be talking poker and blackjack; we’ll be talking big wins – and big losses. It’s all part of the game, baby! We might even chat about how to deal with those pesky loan sharks. HA! You how we do it around these parts Gamblin’ Gang, no holds barred!
So how’s your week going? It’s been a hectic one over here, to be honest with you guys. I was just out in Atlantic City for the weekend, and let me just say that Lady Luck was not on my side. Hell, if I really think about it, she hasn’t really been showing up for me at all during the past six months. It’s been an unlucky year for me, but nothing the ole Gamblin’ Man himself hasn’t seen before. I’ll dig myself out of this hole, I always do.
Oh yeah…yeah, I almost forget. We even have a special guest on later today, Scott Blumstein, the 25-year-old wunderkind who won last year’s World Series of Poker and nabbed a cool $8 million. And speaking of fat stacks of sweet cash, wouldn’t you love for your small business to rake in the big bucks just like Scott did? Well, the fine folks over at Squarespace are here to help make it happen.
It’s 2018 and we all know that you can’t make money without having a best-in-class website. I mean, you can always try your luck playing the ponies or betting it all on black, but the safer bet is to have a fancy website that works for you. Trust me. And there is no one better to help you with that than Squarespace and their gorgeous design templates, easy-to-use management system, and friendly support staff. I’m not bluffing here, these guys are the Daniel Negreanu of website builders. And right now, I’m gonna give you 10% off to help you get started. Talk about a comp! Just use promo code “GAMBLINMAN10.” That’s G-A-M-B-L-I-N-M-A-N-One-Zero. This is a great deal guys. I really need some of you to sign up because it’s truly the best way for you to help support the podcast.
So our guest today is Scott Blumstein, he’s the youngest player to ever win the… Look, I’ll level with you guys. None of you have signed up for Squarespace since they started running ads on here last month. Not a single person. I told the advertising sales guy here that I didn’t think our audience of gambling addicts – excuse me, enthusiasts – had any interest in an “all-in-one website solution” company but he didn’t listen.
To be completely real for a minute: I’ve already spent the entire advance. Every damn penny. And let’s just say I spent it on something I can’t return and get my money back if you catch my drift. On top of that, I’m pretty pressed for cash at the moment and Squarespace is coming at me pretty hard for that advance.
If Squarespace was able to make building a gorgeous website this easy, I can’t even begin to imagine what else they are capable of. This is the platform that empowers millions of local artists and entrepreneurs, after all. In so many words, they also told me that not even their award-winning, 24/7 customer service support would be able to help me after “our guys are done with you.”
Gamblin’ Gang, I don’t ask you guys for much – well, except last month when I needed those donations to pay off my loan shark, Pepe – but this is just as high-stakes as that. These Squarespace guys are going whip me harder than their team of developers and designers whips up new features every month. For the love of all things holy, please go to Squarespace-dot-com today and sign up with the promo code GAMBLINMAN10. Please.
And I hate to do this on-air, but Squarespace executives, if you’re listening: please show some mercy, I beg of you. No one who listens to this podcast is going to sign up for your service. Our key demo is male gamblers and grifters, ages 50 to 70. Why couldn’t you have just stuck advertising with Chris Hardwick to his army of millennial nerds? Those kids love websites. I’m not even sure my listeners know what “flawless user experience” means. I swear I’ll get you your advance money back, I just need a little more time.
Alright, let’s start the show!
