I found an article on High Stakes Poker. It talks about the banter as well, adding:

If the table banter is what draws you to HSP, you are in for a treat also. The tongues were wagging non-stop. Here are just a few of the gems to look forward to:

• Hellmuth, to one of the new, unknown players: "I won't attack you. Unless you play bad. Against me."

• Harman, facetiously, to Farha: "Sammy, do you consider yourself a nit or a gambler?" Farha, in reply: "I wish I could be a nit. It would save me a lot of money."

• Gold: "I'll never be the best player, but I think I have the chance to be the best bluffer."

• Negreanu, to Hellmuth: "You could make money selling 'Phil Hellmuth' underwear!"

• Doyle Brunson, when another player showed a horrible hand after pulling off a huge bluff: "Now I remember how I became a millionaire."

Doyle is always good for a gem like that.

The most ridiculous quote was from Jamie Gold:

Likewise, Jamie Gold claimed to be unconcerned about his image. "I don't even think about it..."

Right.

Jamie is the most insecure, defensive SOB on televised poker.
