The Mouthpiece with Mike Matusow

Mike 'The Mouth' Matusow
《The Mouthpiece with Mike Matusow》Podcast

Mike “The Mouth” Matusow, one of the top professional poker players in the world (with over $10 million in tournament earnings) has become more than just a household name. He’s a favorite among the millions of television viewers who have come to count on his outrageously candid comments, emotional outbursts, and constant taunts that affirm the aptness of his nickname and make for great television theatre. Matusow’s life has been as much nightmare as it has been dream. His struggle with undiagnosed bipolar and ADHD disorders led to self-medication with illegal drugs, and a tumultuous descent in the Las Vegas gambling scene. The Mouth’s story is a high stakes rollercoaster ride featuring an insider’s view of some of the world’s largest poker tournaments, unbearable depression and suicidal tendencies, the Las Vegas party scene, rock star-like excess, outrageous antics, jail, and, in many ways, salvation.

    Episode 147: Seize the Gray

    Mike delves into a range of topics, focusing heavily on his poker career and personal experiences. He begins by discussing the successful sellout of his upcoming poker documentary premiere, which necessitated moving to a larger theater to accommodate 150 confirmed attendees. This event marks a significant milestone for him, reflecting on the support from friends and fans. He then transitions to his preparation for the World Series of Poker (WSOP), detailing his plans to participate in around 30 events, including all 10Ks and the $50K PPC. To finance his entries, he offers 39% stakes in five 10Ks and 40% in a $25K event on PokerStake.com. Mike also shares his recent experiences and strategies in various poker games, particularly Omaha 8 and mixed games, as he gears up for the WSOP. Despite facing physical challenges, including severe leg and knee pain, he remains committed to his practice regimen. His enthusiasm for the upcoming WSOP is palpable, as he emphasizes the importance of adjusting his sleep schedule and mental clarity to optimize his performance. Additionally, he discusses his sports betting activities, placing significant bets on the Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks, and his excitement for the NBA and NHL playoffs. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to his journey of overcoming opioid addiction. Mike candidly shares his struggles with nerve pain and the mental fog caused by long-term opioid use. He celebrates two weeks off pain pills, noting the improved mental clarity and determination it has brought him. This theme is reinforced during a call-in segment with a listener from the Netherlands who also overcame opioid addiction. Their shared experiences highlight the broader challenges and triumphs faced by individuals battling dependency.
