Jim Moran had the nuts the whole time.

Not the longtime Democratic congressman from Virginia, Rep. Jim Moran — but his 39-year-old son, Jim Jr., a Washington, D.C. area regional manager for Dominos Pizza and online poker aficionado.

How do you know Moran had the nuts? His pal posted a YouTube video of him screaming, “I had the nuts the whole time!” (In this case, “the nuts” are a pair of queens. The term is used in poker to refer to an unbeatable hand.)

Moran Jr.’s YouTube moment is thanks to his childhood friend, Bruce Ryan, who posted the clip as a publicity stunt to attract attention — and hopefully funding — for his planned documentary on poker. Ryan, a real estate agent and aspiring filmmaker, previously worked on a documentary on adult kickball that did not receive wide exposure.
