Tim Ferriss (0:00)

This episode is brought to you by Five Bullet Friday, my very own email newsletter. It's become one of the most popular email newsletters in the world with millions of subscribers, and it's super, super simple. It does not clog up your inbox. Every Friday, I send out five bullet points, super short, of the coolest things I found that week, which sometimes includes apps, books, documentaries, supplements, gadgets, new self-experiments, hacks, tricks, and all sorts of weird stuff that I dig up from around the world.

You guys, podcast listeners, and book readers, have asked me for something short and action-packed for a very long time, because after all the podcasts, the books, they can be quite long. And that's why I created Five Bullet Friday.

It's become one of my favorite things I do every week. It's free. It's always going to be free. And you can learn more at tim.blog forward slash Friday. That's tim.blog forward slash Friday. I get asked a lot how I meet guests for the podcast, some of the most amazing people I've ever interacted with. And little known fact, I've met probably 25% of them because they first subscribed to Five Bullet Friday. So you'll be in good company. It's a lot of fun. Five Bullet Friday is only available if you subscribe via email. I do not publish the content on the blog or anywhere else. Also, if I'm doing small in-person meetups, offering early access to startups, beta testing, special deals or anything else that's very limited, I share it first with Five Bullet Friday subscribers.

So check it out, tim.blog forward slash Friday. If you listen to this podcast, it's very likely that you'd dig it a lot. And you can of course easily subscribe any time. So easy peasy. Again, that's tim.blog forward slash Friday.

And thanks for checking it out. If the spirit moves you.

What the hell happened in the morning? And you can contextualize this however you want.

Liv Boeree (3:18)

Sure. No, I mean, what happened was I played a bunch of these tournaments, not once quite this size, but I'd still played a lot of tournaments at this point.

And I was there before it actually started. Usually people turn up late, but for some reason I was there in my chair before the first hand was dealt. And I remember the company PokerStars, whose event it was, they dimmed the lights. They're like, welcome to EBT San Remo, huge, we've got incredible field, blah, blah, blah. And then they dimmed the lights and they put on on the screens around the room, just like a promo, exciting, promo video, you know. And I remember distinctly the music, it was Chemical Brothers, Hey Boy, Hey Girl, which I always loved, I always loved that song.

And I was like, oh, this is cool. I'm excited. And while I was just like listening to it, just like out of nowhere, this like a bolt of lightning felt like, there was like this like, and this voice in my head said, you are going to win this tournament.

And it sounded like my own voice. But what I can't remember is whether it was, I am going to win or you are going to win, but I'm pretty sure it was you are going to win. But it's literally sounded like my own voice. And it was so-
