And with the high-stakes poker flick, "Molly's Game," the dynamic duo predictably deal a winning hand with their mostly true story of how burgeoning freestyle Olympics skier Molly Bloom went from negotiating moguls to entertaining them with her exclusive $10,000-to-play card parties in Manhattan and Beverly Hills. In this week’s episode, Jason is joined by Molly Bloom as they dive into the mysterious world of poker and the massive dollars associated with it. Directed by Aaron Sorkin, the film is based on Bloom's book which she wrote during her trial and which charts her rise and fall in the world of high stakes poker. A former world class skier and currently an in-demand public speaker, Molly's life has seemingly gone full circle to include that of wife and mother.

In 2004, he was approached by Tobey Maguire, who asked him to set up high stakes poker games for himself and his friends, among them Leonardo DiCaprio and Ben Affleck. Bloom says she has no desire to return to the whirlwind lifestyle of drug binges, celebrity parties in high-end hotels and multi-million dollar poker games that dragged on for two days or more. The games themselves were said to be run by Molly Bloom, the so-called "poker princess," whose place at the center of the games attracted more than one whale - and brought her a share of the "rake," or a fee the law prohibits poker hosts from charging in New York.
