The Sunday Roller: Live on 865 with Rich and Tikay ***official show thread***
Good afternoon Sky Pokees!
Hope you enjoyed the show last night with Ian Fraser. The man tells it like it is and has a very funny way of describing hands too! "He's got the baked beans (queens) and he's going to put his chips in the hey diddle diddle (the middle) but your other player has got the conkers (kings).
I'm thinking of getting subtitles arranged for future shows. Top bloke though and top show.
Right, onwards and upwards- tonight I'm back on screen at 9pm for another live poker marathon and this time with the love of my life Tikay. I haven't seen the old one for a couple of weeks now, so not only will he be two weeks older, but he'll be two weeks grumpier too.
The show tonight primarily covers the brand new Sunday Roller- our high-end buy-in where all the big names lock horns. Don't forget though that you can satellite into this £220 buy-in for just £24 (or as Ian Fraser would put it '24 squid or smackeroonies'). That's at 4 this afternoon and there are micro-satellites feeding into that too throughout the day- see the 'Poker Promotions' under 'My Sky Poker' tab at the top of this page for all the timings and details.
We're on at 9, but the Sunday Roller begins at 7! So make sure you're registered in time if you want to be featured on the show tonight.
In the guest seat tonight is the man who famously allowed me to win the SPT Leeds side event by losing to me heads-up, a feat which Tikay has still not forgiven him for- it's TSP member and all round good egg- Alan Gratton aka Gixxerk4.
We need your input of course, so as well as hand requests and poker questions to Tikay and Alan, I'm looking for plenty of comedy banter and amusing anecdotes to fill our four hours with your stuff. This is YOUR show guys, do with it as you will!
The topic tonight to get us started is...
Phobias/things that scare you
Have you got a weird phobia? Or at the very least is there something bizarre that frightens you (clowns, babies, old ladies, pylons etc) Or if you don't have one, do you know of someone else who goes to pieces at the sight of something? The more out there it is the better!
Off the top of my head- I'm slightly scared of the sea at night. And I also know of someone who is petrified of ketchup. I'll repeat that...petrified of ketchup.
Over to you guys- free TSP seats to the best contributors tonight.
Let's get posting and I'll see you at 9!

RAVER / WIFEY WITH A FRYING PAN IN HER HAND .
ps
My two phobias are pretty standard ones, spiders and heights. I even get vertigo just by looking up at tall buildings.
But the seriously strange one was strings of vowels -
AAAAAAAAAAAA
EEEEEEEEEEEEE
OOOOOOOOOOO
...that kind of thing. Not anyone saying them, or the sounds, just the look of strings of vowels.
I genuinely have NO IDEA.

Please let us know when you'd like to play the tourney and we'll get it sorted for you.
I'm definitely not fit to play anything 'properly' at the moment (I keep hitting the wrong button for a start) so I'll get back to you on when I might be able to take part - let me know if there's a time limit or anything.
Yorkie dislikes bats, the bat house at Chester zoo is not her favourite pastime.
Wish me luck as I am trying to learn 2-7 lowball, watch out Juanda

Origins of phobia?? Proibably something to do with being told they eat through clothes as a child....Irrational fear? Definatly!!!! But I wouldn't suggest you put me in the same room as one..if you value your ear drums that is!!!
xx
had to let my girlfriend down tonight to watch the show,ill blow her back up in the morning.;-)
I dont like snakes really bad lol , sort of scared of heights but still doesnt stop me from doing things like going on rides, abseiling etc weird i know
have a good one tonight u 2
BTW it's a little known fact that only ONE London Underground station does not contain any letters in its name that occur in the word "MACKEREL" - you may want to set this as a teaser (unless it's already been used).
Lol @ mkgunner's joke. I'm assuming it's a joke...
Good topic this, I'm looking forward to the show. Despite the fact that Tikay's on it...
;-)
I saw Spike Milligan at the Edinburgh Fringe. He held a Q&A session where he was asked, "What is the funniest joke you've ever heard?" He said that it was from the US stand-up dead-pan comedian Steven Wright, who said...
‘Someone said that they were afraid of heights and asked for my view. I told them, "it's not heights you should be afraid of, it's widths"’
PS the now famous line from spike came in this Q&A session, when someone in the audience shouted out to spike asking, "What would you like your epitaph to say? He thought for a while and replied, "I told you I was ill."
I remember someone in school who was terrified of feet, he couldn't have them anywhere near him and in P.E people would put there bare feet near him and he would run haha.
I also remember somebody telling me about a lad in his class who was absolutely terrified of crisps, now i can sort of see where a feet phobia could come from but not being able to be in the same room as a packet of crisps is crazy hahaha.
tk lovely to see you back on the telly, oh and you rich
