LAST CALL S2E3: Shack & Steve
Ойындар
When legendary musician and record engineer Steve Albini invited a total stranger to a poker game at his studio, neither could've imagined what life had in store for them.
The young man ringing Steve's doorbell was Brandon Shack-Harris, who had learned the rules of Texas Hold’em from Muse frontman Matthew Bellamy. When Albini -- who had decades of poker experience under his belt -- met Shack-Harris, the poker and music enthusiasts bonded quickly. Steve and Brandon became poker running buddies with their sights set on Las Vegas and the World Series of Poker. Years later, they are best friends -- and two-time World Series of Poker champions.
”Shack & Steve” is a story about an unlikely friendship, WSOP bracelets, the Chicago punk scene, personal tragedies, bear costumes, motorcycle accidents, online poker sites targeted at marijuana enthusiasts, a band called Muse, and a poker home game organized at one of the world's most famous recording studios.
The soundtrack of the episode features Albini’s band Big Black, as well as Brandon Shack-Harris on the piano.
The second season of the acclaimed poker documentary series consists of seven episodes. You can find all the episodes on this channel -- subscribe and you won't miss anything!

This is not poker, but a bunch of artist interviews? Oh.. 15minutes in.. it starts.

Fair comment. In our (admittedly very biased) opinion, what makes this show great is that it lets people tell their stories and it takes some bold, sometimes less obvious derails. In the case of someone like Steve or Shack, it takes a while to get to the poker part, as both of these guys had lived a lot before their mutual poker story starts. The second part is about 95% poker though, so you'll be in for a treat. (And also, every other Last Call episode to date is basically all poker.)
