What do you get when you cross a 7-year-old playing poker at his great-grandpa’s funeral, an 18-year-old getting sent to max security, and a man who once ran a dice game out of a garage before he could drive?

You get Episode 93: Brian Green.

Texas-born. Prison-scarred. Bracelet-wearing.

Brian sits down with Art Parmann and Justin Young to tell one of the wildest life arcs you’ll ever hear—how he went from hustling on the streets to final tabling the $1M One Drop and cracking kings to win a WSOP bracelet.

🧠 But this episode isn’t just about bad beats and big wins.
It’s about how a guy who once lost $174K in minutes now pushes gratitude, positivity, andself-awareness in a game full of ego.

👊 Spoiler: He’s still a total degen. But now? He’s a thoughtful one.

🔥 Inside This Episode:

🎲 Garage Gambling: How 12-year-old Brian ran dice and poker games before puberty
🚔 Six Years in Max Security: The PTSD, the survival, and how he came out stronger
💸 One Drop Miracle Run: From a $10K blackjack stake to $1.17M at the final table
🥇 WSOP Bracelet Victory: 6 BBs, a mid-tourney bathroom sprint, and one cracked pair of kings
😅 Punting $174K at Aria: What he did right after a Poker Masters heater
🫣 Viral Fail: His “Lucky Box” livestream moment (wrong item, wrong name… card declined)
🙌 Philosophy: On poker, emotions, competition, and finally—playing to win
