Someone improperly put a milkshake bag in the cabinet it goes in sitting at the bottom of the floor. The next morning I opened the cabinet and the full contents of the bag waterfalled all over the floor and there was nothing I could do to stop it. It was the worse day of my life and I ended up getting into a fight with my manager and ended up quitting later on in the morning. It was horrible.
I was working the burger grill and i got caught chucking a slice of cheese against the ceiling. We used to stick cheese to the ceiling and see how long it would stick up there for. Don't regret a thing. 🤣🤣
I'll be the first to give one that wasn't taking your question so literally to be about working at McDonalds. My McDonalds moment was when I had to crawl under a car I was no longer using, in snow and ice, to drain gas to put into the car I was using.... so that I could drive to the post office to ship eBay packages, to make some gas money. This was a decade or so after I'd written a check for a new Audi, chartered a private jet for my kids' summer vacation, and never thought money would be one of my top 10 problems. Pouring the gas into the working car, I thought "Maybe this is cutting things a bit too close, I should get more serious about not procrastinating about getting my life and cash flow under control." I've done so with varying degrees of success, though once you're good at dancing on the edge of a cliff, you tend to occasionally return to peek over the edge once in a while.
This is by far the best in-depth poker channel from a legend that we get to watch for free. Gentleman, thank you for all this awesome content dude you effing rock. You were my inspiration to play poker since then I’ve cleared the field of 322nd in a WPT and finished in three events and I appreciate the inspiration brother.
staying in the NOW is essential. keeping one's EGO out of decision making is essential gambling with a SMALL bankroll, PROTECTING a big bankroll is essential. life and poker are contuinuous games. GREAT VIDEO
I’m glad you correlated it to life at the end. Even predictable “positive” happenings in life can be a terrible thing if everything happened exactly as you thought they would every single time. It’d take away from the joy(s) in life and be an endless loop of mundane experiences. We need the random ups and downs in life, the positive habits is what’ll help keep life moving “up and to the right”.
I needed to see this about two weeks ago jungle DAMN! I learn everything the hard way it seems, and sometimes even multiple times the hard way but we make adjustments along the way and keep it pushing. I hope to battle with you someday.
I am unsubscribing from every other poker channel and podcast out there. This is the only one that leaves you with thoughts and questions, period. Taleb, machiavelli, risk, happiness, hmm. Thank you, Jungleman!
You've made some amazing content but this might be your best one yet. I suppose each thing speaks to a different person at a different point of their journey.
I would really like to hear your perspective on how you dealt with those bad times and mustered the courage to bounced back, for example after losing 1M a day and then 400k on another day.
My leaks are also my strengths but it makes me lose value. I wish someone can critic my playing and go after my sample size hand by hand for like 1000 hands and give me advice. Like you Dan.
Easy for someone worth millions to say from the comfort of their ivory tower. Sure, a "poor person" finding joy in small wins sounds poetic, but that doesn't magically erase the crushing stress of struggling to survive-paying rent, feeding their family, or affording healthcare. Meanwhile, a rich person thinking everything sucks is a luxury problem that exists because they’re insulated from real consequences. Spiritual awakenings are cool and all, but maybe don’t romanticize poverty from a pedestal.
I didn’t say find comfort in the small wins. I said that if you come from a low place, you feel the gravity of your wins necessarily much more than coming from a high place. That the emotional experience of going from low to high unpredictably is FAR BETTER than from high to low
What was your McDonald's moment?

When i realized people working there hates the world and everything in it, eating there is a horrible idea...
@@EfficientRVer I really like that last bit. Peeking over the cliff. Thanks for sharing and hope you haven’t peeked over too much!

loving these talks - lots of good insights in them
staying in the NOW is essential. keeping one's EGO out of decision making is essential
gambling with a SMALL bankroll, PROTECTING a big bankroll is essential.
life and poker are contuinuous games. GREAT VIDEO
Whoever Dan hired recently to produce this new image and content is crushing it. 😊

Reminds me of the trading book "Reminiscences of a stock operator" very enjoyable hearing your experiences.
I am unsubscribing from every other poker channel and podcast out there. This is the only one that leaves you with thoughts and questions, period. Taleb, machiavelli, risk, happiness, hmm. Thank you, Jungleman!
What a brown nose…
This is you right jungleman? Lol
Ok calm down sir
Great video, staying humble is always a Positive.

Thanks for being true !!!! Amazing thoughts ❤️ and parable!
Thank you Daniel❤
Jungle is actually telling Rampage what he needs to do
“Experience is the real currency” …gold
EVERY DAY IT'S CLEARER THAT THERE'S MORE TO LIFE
Should we change the name of the podcast to“welcome to the jungle”?
Loved this!
So what were the leaks?
My leaks are also my strengths but it makes me lose value. I wish someone can critic my playing and go after my sample size hand by hand for like 1000 hands and give me advice. Like you Dan.
Those leaks are your “shadow side” then
Amazing
Fair enough I won't shove K5s with 20 big blinds anymore, I'll shove K6s instead.
Love this guy. Wtf!
Why would you go to a poker tournament and play a flute at the table? Is that the way you think you can win?
$hitheads in real life become CEO's.
🐐 tks
Cool video jungie man* I am a fan my name is Shane Mack see you on the felt soon
So you beat top players who weren't Full Tilt pros, but lost big to players who were Full Tilt pros.... on a poker site named Full Tilt?
No, I beat everyone
never forget XWINK
Not eating at McDonald’s is a good practice for well-being
If i was ever 1.5 million over EV i'd retire.

Sounding like a life coach guru.
Stay in your lane, dude

Why? It's the same no matter where you're looking from. Perspective affects your ability to thrive
