There's really no thought there. It's just like, oh, this dude's really big and black. He's probably going to fucking win.

hospital or anything uh she did afterwards she said she was fine i thought she was fine and then i get a facetime her in the hospital like i was like oh fuck okay let me come you're not supposed to sleep when you get one, apparently. Yeah, no, I had to go back over and make sure she didn't sleep. Wow. Was this at 11 or something? No, no, this was just at her house. Yeah, back in Tampa.

You partying heavy out in Tampa? I try not to. I'm more of a routine dude. My life is way better in a routine. Really? Yeah, way better. Walk me through it. You wake up, make a bed or two, and start your day off no i'm not that bad i wake up um papa

zenon naturally okay got one right here shout out to your boy uh bobby yes sir um coffee and i like to work out first thing in the morning okay yeah but when i'm traveling that shit goes out the window yeah yeah it's it's always like yo i'm gonna work out as soon as i get to the hotel and then it just never happens no never it's too hard man i don't know people that do it are props to them absolutely that's a mindset right there 100 yeah for me that's kind of like my anchor you know it's like okay i have to do this but when i'm traveling shit's everything's up absolutely how'd you blow up that ig page man that's how i found out about you oh man from memes like so i always have like a really like kind of dark unhinged sense of humor which and that always goes viral but really back

in the day so i started this in 2020 every gambling meme page was like ran by like br betting and they're all have like shareholders and sponsors so they can't really say the things that like, I was, and I was always thinking, I was like, have you ever talked to someone who gambles every day? They're not PG rated. Yeah.

You know? So I was like, let me just throw some memes out there, see which ones. And within, you know, within two months I'm growing like 20,000 organic followers a month. Yeah.

And this was before a lot of the gambling influencers really existed like mickey mays always he's like the original yeah he's the goat yeah he's the goat no question about it but he didn't do much memes um and that's actually how i met him was through memes but that's a funny story we'll get to that later but um yeah so are you interested in coming on the digital social hour podcast as a? We'll click the application link below in the description of this video. We are always looking for cool stories, cool entrepreneurs to talk to about business and life. Click the application link below. And here's the episode, guys.

Really just started cranking out the unhinged, like, you know, gambling memes, and they just blew up out of nowhere. Nice. And just stayed with the consistency. So you were like the first gambling page that was just authentic yeah like the first like really dark humored gambling meme page yeah and um you know i got there's a bunch of them now there's a ton and there's a lot of influencers like d lucky's blowing up vegas matt who's that guy that bet a mil on the super bowl oh sean perry he's blowing up i was with him um i was with him when he did that oh yeah yeah circa dude what was your thought process with that i thought i mean i mean

now i guess because i thought he had that in the fucking bag man like what i mean my home's out of nowhere in the ot but i thought that was a winning bet dude i still think it was a good bet like but fuck that was brutal he would have looked like a genius if it hit. Yeah. I mean, apparently he bounced back. Apparently he bounced back, went on a crazy run right after that. Oh, yeah? Yeah, yeah. Thank God.

He didn't seem too upset about the loss. No. I was like, dude, I'd be up all night for a week straight. Oh, dude. Hide the sharp objects in the room. If I lose $1.1 million on a bet. I guess it's all bankroll. For us, that's our whole life savings, a bet i guess it's all bankroll for us that's like our

whole life savings but for him it's probably like whatever exactly yeah he's a really cool dude by the way too yeah yeah when i met him he was nothing but good vibes yeah apparently i'm playing bat 2-1-2 against him for money so we'll see what happens oh that'll be basketball that'll be fun you're a hooper yeah okay can you play me no sean no i don't have no idea okay you definitely have the height advantage yeah i'll find out he's no idea. Okay. You definitely have the height advantage. Yeah, I'll find out. He's tall, though, too. But, yeah, you definitely have the height advantage.

Well, Sean, get ready, man. Yeah, man. Me and JR are coming. That'll be fun as fuck. What's it like gambling with Mickey? Oh, incredible, bro. Like, so we gamble online a lot. Like, when I first met him, we'd gamble.

I'd do the live streams, and he would hop on. Yeah. That was, like, probably one of my biggest wins was I accidentally – I like to drink during my live streams when I gamble. It's on brand, but also it's just who I am. And I accidentally placed $1,000 on a side bet. And normally I only do like $100 on each one. And it hit out of nowhere.

And I won like $12,000 just on the side bet. Yeah, and that was like the last one. It's funny. I still lost $5, on the side bet. Yeah, and that was like the last one. It's funny. I still lost five grand in that session. Damn. Yeah, but Mickey's the GOAT. I love gambling with that dude, and he definitely wins. I feel that.

Would you say you're up or down overall on blackjack? Down. Really? Down. Damn. Yeah, it's mostly because I get too emotional. You know, like, yeah. And you're drinking.

They want you to drink. Of course. Like when I too emotional. You know, like, yeah. And you're drinking. They want you to drink. Of course. Like, when I go to the casinos, like, in person, I'm pretty good about staying away from the free liquor. Okay. Yeah, very good about that. But online, it's just way more fun. You're in your house. Yeah.

I feel that. You're in your house. I don't know if I trust online ones, though. Yeah. No. Have you found one you trust? So, yeah, there's a few out there i trust and they're like backed like um i know mickey's working with one right now and he

allows he's i've seen that one he's allowed to audit them which i think that's really cool yeah uh there's a few out there that are pretty good but you know stay away from like the ones based out thailand and shit i just feel like they rigged that shit 100 yeah i mean even the casinos in person i feel like they rigged that probably i mean mickey exposed some of them didn't he yeah but yeah stay away from the automatic card shufflers and definitely yeah yeah i'm hearing now even the roulette can be rigged oh i believe that 100 little magnets yeah they drop the balls in there a thousand times a day so they could kind of time it if they get good enough yeah no roulette is a losing game it's fun every once in a while like if you're just doing it

for fun but do not expect now they're adding triple zeros i'm like what the hell dude i saw that for the first time um fuck i think it was somewhere in vegas i saw that for the first time oh they already added it yeah and i was just like there's a zero percent chance i'm better triple zeros like the fact they even have two zeros kind of piss who's already terrible what is that six percent edge exactly yeah i mean i like back rat back rats yeah that that's a winning you can we The fact they even have two zeros kind of pisses me off. Two is already terrible. What is that, 6% edge? Exactly. Yeah, I mean, I like Baccarat. Baccarat's, yeah, that's a winning. We can win there.

You can win. All you need is one good streak. Exactly. Yeah, I feel like Blackjack and Baccarat got to be the best two. 100%. I was with Bretzky at the Bellagio, and we lost five grand. It was me, Lockhub, and some other people, and we all threw in a thousand dollars

each and we each chose our game yeah everyone lost five we lost five grand real quick and he's like all right let me just do one real quick streak of uh baccarat yeah and um he won like six grand damn and like using a thousand yeah he just kept let it ride damn and uh he turned yeah it was real quick like in two minutes yeah if you got the balls for it and you're going all in four times in a row you can make that 10 25 g's like something crazy exactly yeah and that's what mickey did to make that million oh dude yeah he turned like what 200 to 800 8 mil yeah that's fucking crazy that's nuts but he gets so much hate but people that are with him in person actually see it and vouch for him no dude i get so many dms like yo is he legit is he legit i'm like dude a hundred percent like there's

nothing that nothing i've been i've been with him i stayed with him for like two weeks at his house yeah um and it's funny because i was only supposed to be there for two days but uh yeah no very legit and back rat he definitely has an edge there he could play paintball i heard too i was with him in orlando at the world uh the world cup of paint an edge there. He could play paintball, I heard, too. I was with him in Orlando at the World Cup of paintball. There's a World Cup for paintball? Dude, it was sick. Damn, so he's nice. Oh, yeah, dude.

It was dope. Him and he had some team, I think called the Outlaws or something. I don't know. Really fun vibe, dude. Nice. Paintball is a fun game, too. I see him betting on it now, too, which is brilliant because if you're good at it, you know who else is good. Exactly.

Yeah, and that's such a small sport that you can be sharp in it really fast. NBA, the lines are so adjusted. Do you even sports bet at all at this point? I do. I love sports betting. I'm a parlay fiend. That's the worst. I know.

But when they win, they win, bro. But yeah, very not good at sports betting. UFC betting is my favorite. I don't want to get into power slap betting, but yeah. UFC betting, I feel like you can, if you really know the sport, you can have a slight edge. 100%. And it's just fun. Yeah.

UFC is like my favorite sport. You went to 299, you said? Yeah. How was that? Incredible. I saw the Sean O'Malley highlights. Oh, dude, Sean O'Malley lit him up. I can't believe he didn't knock him out all right dude that knee oh my gosh that knee that he took and just kept

fighting like that's all i'm saying i was like hey winner loses dude's a fucking warrior you know there are both warriors you can hear that knee oh my god dude yeah i would be i would be all fucked up after that oh it's like he literally broke his jaw and he kept on fighting kept fighting yeah it went to decisions which is yeah that would have knocked any of us out dude's never been knocked out before yeah he's clearly a strong champ clearly that's insane did you ever fight growing up yeah no my nose is all fucked oh like professionally yeah no street fights yeah yeah i used to that's what i always tell people was like i i'll fight but like do not think i'm like oh i'm gonna win like you know like no no i just i'll just brawl a little bit you know but that's what i always tell people was like i i'll fight but like do not think i'm like oh i'm gonna win like you know like no no i just i'll just brawl a little bit you know but that's it

i've actually never been in one really yeah it would be fun to get a ring and start it's good to learn yeah i did slap boxing that was pretty much the extent of my fighting okay i did a little muay thai in tampa i'm still doing it it's a good skill to have for the confidence definitely and it's just yeah it's good to know um and also it's just really fun yeah you know I feel that Muay Thai is which one is that Muay Thai is just a discipline it's not jujitsu it's like you're standing up but you're throwing kicks oh the kicking one yeah elbows all that got it which one's your favorite style um I think Muay Thai. My brother does a bunch of jiu-jitsu. Okay. So he was always trying to get me into that,

but I feel like everyone's mom is doing jiu-jitsu right now. That's the hot one right now in the UFC, right? The grappling shit. Definitely. People don't like watching it, but it wins fights. Exactly. The Habib style of fighting is so boring. It's boring to watch.

But he's undefeated. You can't even hate on it. Nah. When you're that nah when you're that good you're good yeah i like john jones bro he's my favorite fighter same i think he's the goat yeah i think he's the goat too i don't think anyone's gonna i'm excited to see him fight now yeah one more right oh dude yeah one more hopefully is he fighting at 300 supposed to i think he tore his pec so i don't know if he's gonna be out or not we'll see but anytime he fights he just puts on a clinic clinic bro and the style is so fun like him versus dc was

was legendary oh my god dude yeah that was incredible and just the the fucking beef yeah that was real beef that was 100 real that was not for that was not theatrical at all yeah no that was great i love john jones i'm excited to you know see him fight one last time but you know we'll see how it goes you've come a long way from uh living in a laundry room college man dude what for four years five years i lived in that you did that for four years yeah dude two hundred dollars a month though so can you really beat it yeah you know in this economy how are you bringing girls back oh dude you just gotta yeah you gotta have game i guess or go to their place going to their place is really the best

part that makes sense because imagine being like yeah you want to come to the laundry room yeah dude you better you better put on a perform like a john jones level performance in that regard yeah it's the only way you're gonna get return customers damn did you expect to uh start making money like this fuck no dude this is this is like a dream come true off instagram off instagram just off memes crazy that's what everyone complains about you know whenever you go back home or whatever people are like talking shit about their job like i don't even feel like i work i'm just out here yeah you know there's a ton of kids with meme pages in their teenage years making six figures a year.

Oh, crushing it. I went to lunch the other day, um, in Tampa with people who used to run meme pages. They sold them all. And, um,

and they had like those Instagram handles, like the very, Oh, the OG ones. The OG ones. So they made bank. And, uh,

now they just run like only fans, like management and stuff. I actually know who you're talking about. I think. Really? Does the name start with an F? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's cool, dude. Yeah. He's a solid dude. Yeah, know who you're talking about, I think. Really? Does his name start with an F? Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's a cool dude. Yeah, he's a solid dude. Yeah, man. Back in those days, stacking up on those OG handles was a move. 100%. Yeah.

Yeah, I wish I did that, but... I got a few, but I need to do something with them. Yeah. Turn them into a meme page and sell them. No, no, right? Daquan sold, right? For $17 million or something like that, right?

Holy crap. That's insane. I i mean just to get on world star you got to pay five g's yeah so they're just printing money i see three ads a day on that page it's an yeah it's an atm yeah yeah i'm like pretty good at not i'm trying not to sell out as hard you know yeah yeah but you got to make money somehow dude gotta make money yeah my buddy banger buddy have you met him nick, I met him on a Super Bowl weekend. Yeah, so I saw him literally start at Rutgers University in Jersey with 30K, broke. Now he makes millions a year off that page. And I think he has like 6 million followers.

Yeah, no, he crushes it. It's nuts. He's a super cool dude too. Yeah, but there is that balance. Have to. Or else you'll lose views. 100%. People do get pissed off.

I have a very niche audience. And I remember one time I posted an ad, and it was just like, dude, I can't look at these comments. It's crushing my soul, dude. I love these people. Can't sell out. Nah. But you can do it in creative ways.

I used to work for drunk people doing things, like doing things medium. I remember that one. And they have the best way to monetize those ads because they make them like funny and um it's still an ad it's seamless exactly yeah i agree that page has been around for a minute yeah yeah they got a good network i grew that i grew that one pretty i only worked for him for like seven months they're all really cool people and i grew that 800 000 organic followers in seven months yeah that's when i realized oh shit i'm not that bad

at this damn yeah was that through uh memes yeah i was just they just hired me to run the memes um the dude saw one of my live streams he's like dude you're good at making memes and you're fucking funny yeah so he's like let's work and it was uh yeah worked worked pretty good for a while but um you know had i want to focus more on funny degenerate so it was just a mutual that's sick to put your your face out there because a lot of these mean page kids never put themselves out there personally exactly and it's funny because i was uh i was like photophobic i didn't i hated videos and photos oh yeah for the longest time damn like on my personal instagram i think last time it was was 2014 i actually noticed that when i was doing research on you yeah yeah i did not i i was like

scared of um putting my face out there and uh yeah but then i got like you know you got to work with casinos and stuff and like hey you got to start doing live streams like all right what's the bag saw the numbers like all right fuck my fears you know what i mean let's make some fucking money out here so these live stream bags oh my gosh i just saw a clip of trainwreck saying he was making 25 mil a month at the peak holy shit i want to be very clear that is not the bag i'm getting i'm on the way i'm trying and all he was doing was gambling online that's all but he would be up for hours yeah he said he only slept six hours a day so he was streaming like 12 hours yeah no i

gotta sleep i'm one of those i don't think I could gamble that long without being bored out of my mind. Exactly. Yeah, it gets old, and it's like that shit, like the emotional roller coaster of gambling for 12 hours. You're losing most days, I mean. Yeah. Gamblers, casinos are not built on winners. No. Look at Vegas, man.

Huh? Look at Vegas. I know, right? There's a reason these casinos are nice in the house. Like, you're nice in the house, you go to at home. It's nuts. Aiden Ross, Steve will do it. They'd be gambling like crazy as well.

Oh, dude. XQC. XQC, yeah. I'm trying. I want to meet and gamble with Steve will do it. You should. He lives out here. Does he?

Yeah. That'd be fun. He moved here from Miami about a year ago. He's always at Durango and Red Rock. Red Rock, I see on his story all the time. Yeah. If you go there tonight, they might be there, to be honest be honest i'm sure i need to get my wallet before yeah you can't even walk in right now i can't even buy i can't even buy a fucking beer damn let alone gamble you

bringing a passport huh no dude i'm out here just raw dogging damn i always bring both because i told you what happened to me once i lost my wallet wallet and I had to fly from Miami to Vegas. Yeah, that's a pain in the ass right there. Yeah. But I was with Vegas Matt. Oh, he's dope. He's super cool, dude. Very nice. And yeah, we gambled there.

I was mostly just doing the camera thing because I lost so much the night before. I was like, my buddies wanted to gamble with him. They're like, you trying to join in, throw some money? And I'm like, no, dude. He seems like a nice guy. I'm glad to see him branch off from from uh slots because you can't win money long term with slots no that's like guaranteed losing money yeah it's like the worst one in the casino i think right exactly 100 that's the money maker for him yeah they make like nine

percent on those yeah it's crazy yeah i've never even played one to be honest no i've i think i've only played like a slot twice and i've been and like like i i gamble you know i'm like for me i'm like i just want to have fun yeah losing money is not fun for real yeah what's the biggest uh you've played with with blackjack biggest i played i think i did it like a twenty thousand dollar hand one damn yeah dude dude i'd be shitting myself oh my. I think I might have. Did you win it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I won it. I won it and got the fuck out. I know people are like, you can't leave when you win.

Fuck that. Yeah, fuck that. Yeah, you put your money up. That shit, I was like, dude, I'm out. Were you martingaling and it just got insane? Yeah, it was purely emotional. And martingale strategy is the guaranteed way to lose. Yeah, it never works out.

No, never. It sounds good on paper it sounds good on paper and it's like it's like yeah it's stupid you need insane bankroll to even do it exactly that's like the only way you could win is if you have a massive yeah if you have dana white money exactly like how he does it and stuff um he's good at blackjack apparently very good yeah he wins every time on stream yeah it's incredible not only that he wins for other people too which is insane which is awesome like the bar store guys came he won every single person won that's awesome and they're not playing like small hands either no no they're playing like eighty thousand dollar hands hundred thousand dollar hands nuts dude yeah but he does it like very um like strategic he's like yeah i get in and he's

like i gamble for like 10, and then I'm out. Yeah. Yeah, he's smart about it. That's the only way to do it. 100%. If you're there any longer, you're probably going to lose. Your edge goes down. Yeah.

In and out. Win a couple hands and get the fuck out of there. Yeah, you gamble at all? I try not to. It's like a local thing. You're not really supposed to too much, or else you could just lose everything. Oh, yeah. It's right here.

Yeah. Yeah, you'd be fine. Well, I'll do it for fun, but not to win win money just to have fun you know exactly just meet people go with like a thousand bucks exactly just if you lose it you lose it if you win whatever yeah the problem is people put every dollar they have and then they get emotionally invested of course yeah it's very stupid just treat it like fun you know that's the best way to do it. People out here are like, oh, I'm trying to be a professional gambler. It's like, all right, well, good luck. Never works.

No. Unless you're amazing at poker. Poker is completely different. That's skill-based. Exactly. But even a lot of poker pros go broke, which is pretty wild. Yeah, you only hear about the success stories. You don't hear about the fucker under the bridge.

That's what it's called? Yeah, drop servicing. Yeah, I was doing that on accident. Nice. Just kind of working. That's smart.

Pay for your alcohol money, your weed money, whatever, your gambling money. Exactly. It's cool. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, everyone had their little hustle in college trying to get by. Mine was mostly, yeah, weed and drop servicing, I guess. So here we go. Mine was weed.

I'm a microdoser. You are too. I've done full trips, but time and place for it. Exactly.

Right now on a podcast wouldn't be the time, unless you're Mike Tyson. Oh, dude. Did you see him when he was on Logan Paul's thing? He ate like five grams. And if you're Mike Tyson, let him do whatever the fuck. Yeah, no one's going to say shit to him. Fuck no, dude. You think he'll beat Jake?

I don't know, man. I love Mike Tyson more than life itself. But Jake Paul is an actual boxer now. You know what I mean? People are like, oh, he's just a YouTube dude. It's like, no, dude, I think he's been fighting pretty good. Three years now, yeah. Yeah, he's not bad.

I want Mike Tyson to win. No hate to Jake Paul. He's a legend. Yeah. But's not bad. I want Mike Tyson to win. No hate to Jake Paul. He's a legend. But we'll see. I mean, he's 58, but he's also Mike fucking Tyson. Yeah, he's got 30 years on him, but he's Mike Tyson, so it kind of evens out. Exactly.

I hope they let him do some TRT or something. I don't know. I hope they let Mike Tyson get on testosterone so we can see a full clinic. Because we're too young to have seen him in his prime. Yeah, I don't know. I hope they let Mike Tyson get on testosterone so we can see like a full clinic. Because we were too young to have seen him in his prime. Yeah, I never saw him in his prime. I've seen highlights, but. Yeah, that's all.

That's all we can. It seems like he's mellowed out, though, because he did have that fight a few years ago. And I wasn't impressed, to be honest. No, no. I still think he won, but I know they're like, oh, it was a draw. But yeah, no. No, he definitely won, but it wasn't like impressive. No, it wasn't like when you're expecting Mike Tyson. Like you want to see someone hit the floor. Can't be father time, no. No, he definitely won, but it wasn't impressive. No, it wasn't like when you're expecting Mike Tyson.

You want to see someone hit the floor. Can't be Father Time, man. No. I don't even watch boxing, to be honest, but I might watch that one. Same. I'm not a big... I think UFC kind of swallowed up boxing. Way better.

So much more fun. Boxing's just boring. Same. Yeah, I totally agree. There's very few sports I could watch on TV right now. Yeah. UFC's my favorite by far. UFC, maybe basketball in the playoffs.

I don't even watch football anymore. Really? Yeah. It makes it more fun when you throw money on it. That's when gambling comes into play because throw like $200 on a fucking, like any fucking sport. You know what I mean? And you're going to find a way to root for them and have fun.

Yeah. We used to do like cricket matches. the day, like 5 a.m., back from the bars, like, fuck it, let's throw some money on the team. We'd be rooting for Pakistani cricket, and none of us knew how the sport went. I still don't know to this day. I don't know. I know they have a wooden bat, right?

Yeah, they have a wooden bat. That's all I know. Same, bat. That's all I know. Same. Except I would throw money on it. And that was what we'd do. Yeah, cricket, baseball, which I'm going to be honest. I can't watch baseball. I hate watching baseball.

Too slow. So boring. Yeah. I mean, they're getting their bag. Good for them. It might be the most boring sport to watch of all time. I agree. That and tennis.

Ooh. Yeah. Yeah yeah i could see that i used to play tennis so i'm a little biased but no i could see that it's it's pretty boring i used to play soccer so i know everyone's like soccer is so boring like yeah dana shit on soccer yeah he said it's the worst sports a lot and i'm like i don't know man i used to play soccer too okay cool nice it's fun to play so fun to play i was um i actually do i actually still play soccer back in tampa oh yeah we got to get some soccer runs out here i'm down i'm so down yeah a little 5v5 something yeah that'd be dope yeah what was your position uh center mid oh you were nice yeah you had the stamina yeah no i i yeah you could run you i think you're supposed to run like nine miles a game. Yeah, it's nuts. It's insane. I can't do that now. Damn. What's the weirdest thing you bet on? Oh, buddy.

Got to think about this one. Yeah. Are we talking about just like sports? No, just in general, like anything. I like to bet on which one of my buddies gets divorced first. Wow. It's kind of fucked up. That's a long-term bet.

Yeah, yeah. No, me and my close group of friends always are like, we'll be at a wedding. We're like, you think it's going to work out? What's the over-under on this? That's hilarious. If they're arguing at the post-reception, it's like, all right, taking the under. Weddings, I mean, 50-50 divorce rate.

I know, right? It's just a matter of when. That's basically the same odds as back raps. Yeah, for real. Scary time. Yeah, right. Well, Ethan, it's been fun. Anything you want to close off with or promote?

I got nothing to promote, man. I just hope everyone, you know, get on the internet, laugh, enjoy some memes. And yeah, man, don't take life too seriously. Awesome, man. Hope you found your ID. Thank you. All right, guys. See you next time.
