And we put in hours and hours of work for this special announcement. We have been working very hard on what we're doing for episode 200. Do you want to announce it? We have been planning this for months, possibly. Actually, it might be a year. Almost a year. So, yeah, we had to make this a special one. We found a special place.

We're here in Las Vegas. Yes. And of course, we had to give y'all a special guest. Yes. Someone you've never seen before. A very important person in the online gaming community. It's hard to get a hold of them. So exciting.

But for episode 200, we had to make it happen. The man, the myth, the legend. Oh, sorry. Sorry, guys. He got you. He had you going there for a second. I don't think we have. I think you had them going.

Who's ready to talk about mental health and Apex Legend again? Well, it's going to lead to the best place to talk about mental health at least. It's going to lead to that anyways because we're in fucking Vegas. Because you guys are both down. I just lost $1,200. And we're mobile. So you lost $1,200. How much are you guys both down?

It's not that I lost $1,000. I just lost $1,200 in 10 minutes right before we did this. So you're down at like $3?000. You were up five at one point. I was up five grand at one point. Oh, so you were just, I felt alive. So you're still up? I'm still technically.

What are you bitching about them, bro? I'm still technically up. I am down, down. I am technically down down. But when you're up 5K, you're just like, wait, I can go home and I just like, I just made 5K on a weekend. Yeah. And the night's not over. I supported the boys.

We won champs. The night is, we, we're winning champs out of all right. This is film. filmed on Saturday. We won. We haven't won chance. We fucking won chance. And I go home with 5K.

I like that. But, uh, I like the energy you're bringing right now. I told Matt Craig, I said he was on the way to the hotel. Told Matt Craig. Give me a 10 minute warning before you. Yeah. I'm going to hit roulette. And you hit it.

I'm taking, I'm taking 11 hondo down. And what happened? I'm a hit. I'm a be in a, I'm going to be in a good mood for the pod. Absolutely. We took them. money down yes we did we lost it all in two spins all in a couple spills probably five a couple spends roulette is not the game to play even though

people tell me blackjack's the game to play and then tush fucked me on blackjack and then james fucked me on blackjack then why i fucked me i mean they convinced me to play and i lost everything sucks and it's all too but also he's telling us the point yeah blackjack's fun are you up or down the thing is i have been gambling pretty i think i've been gambling the most. Probably. I've logged the most hours in the casino. I brought $1,800 worth of chips from the last time I was in Vegas. The last time I was in Vegas, I was still drinking. Okay. Oh, this is your first time sober Vegas? My first time sober in Vegas. Thank you. And so I came here with $1,800 in chips that I didn't cash before because I didn't give a shit about anything

before. Still had $1,800 of house money. And I am still somehow in the mix with the house money. Oh, so, Alice's jacket keeps falling off my hips, and I need you. I mean, I get the poopie dippy. I got the, I'm not kidding, I need you. I'm in a poopie adipy. I need you to carry this. I'm so sorry.

So fucking sorry. That's the worst thing I've ever done. So yeah, we're still in the mix somehow. Wait, so you had Aria chips already specifically? No. No, I had Cesar's. I had MGM Grand and I had Aria. Okay.

And what I learned is that you, I went to Cesar's. to cash Caesar's chips yeah and then the lady of seizures was like everywhere cash is everywhere it's chips you don't have to go to the casino that it has they all work together they all you over yeah i didn't know that so yeah i didn't know that one big conglomerant of that's actually very interesting yeah it's convenient i wonder if like you go to like old vegas if it's the same thing or if it's just the strip casinos they make sure to make it convenient for you huh going upies okay we can go yeah we go on up or down yeah let's go up i'm down

Go up here. Okay, so. So, so you're technically up, you're technically up 700. Hell yeah, you're up 700. Tush's up. What are you up? I'm up like, I'm up like five, 600. Okay.

I'm up 900, but I was up 5K. Oh. Yeah, I was up 3K at one point. Now I'm up like, don't look at the glass. Cilling. Oh. Yeah. Look at the glass half empty.

It's not I'm up 900. It's that I'm down. 4,100. A pure pessimist. And I love that. That's just a pure pessimist. That's what the flycast is about. It has always been that. Holy stairs. Where's that bridge? We're going to have to take a break now. We're going to retouch our breath and continue the plot. Okay, I got to hear about your night last night. Because let's let because why. Oh, yeah. Let's let Tush do the honors. So we've been doing. Let's make sure to double down and say this again. So these, this comment section can get at me you deserve it yeah you do

heartedly and you still have not taken any accountability for anything you've done you've taken no accountability for anything you've done wrong ever there was not known there was not just today I'm gonna go I'm gonna go I'm gonna go I'm gonna go I'm gonna go I'm gonna go I'm gonna go I'm gonna go

I'm gonna go I'm gonna go I'm gonna go I'm gonna go so we're doing a three man takeover for this event Tush TAKEover we've been doing the Tush takeover it's been going pretty well we rope these two fuckers into it for Vegas yes and I'm one of the fuckers

yeah Hitch has been good Hitch has been decent he has not been good he's been decent but I like him like him a lot All right thanks man Nick has been good in content when he's in content

I got to the venue at 1 p.m. today but like Optic played at two Nick slept in till 4.30 p.m. and got there during

map one of our loser's final venture. I got there before the match started. Let's be fair. Oh, okay. It's good then. Right. So, yeah, so we couldn't really do content

until he got there. But again, he's 35. He slept till 4.30 p.m. What's up, guys? 4.30 p.m. I mean, it's unacceptable. Thank you, man. It's unacceptable, and we've still yet

to see a hand up from him. Still yet to see him, my bad. Will we get one right now? Listen. So last night. I had a long night. Do I just explain to my... All right, listen.

I apologize for not showing up today. One time. There it is. There's no excuse. This isn't me explaining my story of last night would not be my excuse. Vegas is fucking awesome. Yeah, he drank too much. I drank too much and stayed up late.

It's not a cool story. Got back in at like 7 a.m. So, yeah. Yeah, not that sick. Not the first time. Wait, are you going to explain what happened or not? I'm sorry. So, last night, I'll explain my night now.

Yeah. Went to, first off, gambling at the casino. Did that to about, I think, midnight, and then me, Bose and Kenny left. Kaysan was doing a DJ set somewhere at some other hotel. It was actually pretty sick, pretty sick venue. So we got like, we were behind. K-Sahn. Yeah, let's go down.

Let's go down so we can go into Paris. Right behind the, right behind the DJ said. It was fun. A lot of people were there, dancing, jumping up and down. Just had a good time. Everyone in the crowd was like, do we just try these up and down? Everyone in the crowd was like Optic fans or not Optic fans. Everyone in the crowd was like gaming fans, too.

I don't know if it was like a gaming show or like or not show, but a lot of gamers there. A lot of people knew who we were. Good time. Had fun to like 3 a.m. Drink. So. much it was discussed it was just disgusting and it actually like today i felt it dopamine is completely gone no serotonin in my brain pure zombie mode but did that to about 3 a.m then after that what i

didn't what i did not want to do pretty sure everyone on the pod stopped listening by now what i didn't want to do we went to the fucking street we went to the fucking street club i hate strip clubs nothing i don't say i don't say i hate strip clubs once i'm like like shut the fuck up i get no i i i genuinely hate strip clubs i don't understand them i don't understand the fuck hold on i'll wait hell yeah hell yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i don't understand Vegas just Vegas shit there's nothing quite like exploiting your child while it's 96 degrees outside for some extra cash that guy saw the camera and he was like whoa whoa I know you got to come check this out what is this every corner it's another it's another street show I don't understand how

people go to strip clubs they charged me 200 for what I went there I was like in the strippers were talking to me I was like I was like you're wasting your time yeah I was like, you're wasting your time talking to me. Like, sorry, I'm not going to pay you. Like, I'm just not interested. I'm just here with my boys having a good time. Like, you're wasting your time talking to me. 30 minutes later, they convinced me to get a dance.

It was like two girls. That's how it happens. Did they pinch your nipple? They didn't do shit. It was the worst dance ever. It was like the worst dance ever. The biggest waste of time, it was like a minute and a half. Yeah.

So I didn't even think about it. Next thing I know I black out, I wake up in my hotel. Don't remember how I got home. You don't, dude. And then you texted me, you were like, how much? And I was like, I only got one dance. It was probably like 70 bucks. Like, I probably spent 70 bucks there.

Check my account. I see a $240 charge. I guess that's for the dance. Damn. Then a $50 charge. Then another $40 charge. I'm like, how did I spend $340? Like $330 in a strip club?

And I got to dance maybe for a minute and a half. You probably didn't even get hard. And I didn't even want it. Didn't it get hard. Didn't want to get hard. Didn't want them on me. But somehow you still leave the strip club down $330. Honestly.

I'm more pissed about that than just losing $1,100 in 10 minutes. Because at least in that I feel something. Man, you could really draw out a story. Holy. All right. I'm dumb. Holy fella. So you went to take it from here, tooch.

Black down. Yeah, I got really drunk went to the strip club and I spent some money. Yeah, that's how you should talk on a pod. That's usually how it goes. Yeah, you're right. But maybe somewhere in the middle. Yeah, there's got to be a little bit of a middle ground. All right, y'all handle it from here then.

So right now we're walking through the Miracle Mile shops. I'm not loving it. We can maybe hook a Ui. I feel like there's a little bit of a dead end happening. Yeah, maybe a Ui. Oh, wait. Ah, it keeps going to the left. How do we end up in a food court?

Because I feel like this, I feel like this might link up with Paris, and I like Paris. Okay, we're going to go to Paris, maybe. I didn't get to go to CDL Paris, so we can go to Vegas, Paris. The boys right now are frying, and Tush said this event is 30 times better than the Paris event. I did not say that. Oh. Quite the opposite. The venue is a little bit dead.

I won't lie. I don't go left here, so we can pop out on the strip. Champs is a bit dead in comparison to the Paris major, but that was a one-off situation. That was. That I don't think can be replicated anywhere else except Paris. Yeah, that was, that looked, that like looked actually, like, like, like insane. It didn't, it didn't look real. Yeah.

But, you know, to each its own. So 200 episodes, we finally did it. And it just feels good. How do you, do you ever think about it? Do you ever think about episode one? 200 episodes in almost 10 years. And almost 10 years. I mean, probably the most consistent podcasts to ever grace the internet.

And what were we even at when we moved to Texas? Like 20. Yeah. I think we've done 87% of these episodes since moving to Texas. There's some good math there. Definitely some good math. Let's walk through the casino. I'll tell you what, 200 episodes of the podcast.

Yeah. There is so, this is hard to do. There's a lot going on, a lot of noise, a lot of sounds, a lot of bright lights. But I never would have thought I'd be 200 podcast episodes deep. On my own podcast as well. Where are we? We are in Planet Hollywood. Comment section below.

Everyone listening. You go to Vegas. What do you play? I've been playing roulette. I've been playing blackjack. Brillette's done me well. Black Jack has rinsed me dry. Yep.

You're still learning it, though. What's like the, what's, you're a degenerate gambler? What's the most fun, like when you're actually getting into it, shit's going your way. Craps. Craps. Crapes has to be in.

Crap's a million percent, but it has not been treating us well. Have you played craps today? No, not today. We haven't got a squat on the table. When we do, Zinney comes in, and he's like, hey, guys, nade shots in high roller. on let's go and then he'll fucking take suffy and hex and like bows is that where they've been yes i haven't seen them with the normies yeah they don't do they don't do anything with us the watch

party at watch party is clicking up a little bit i will say they're very clicky they're clicking very very clicky and it's all good and it's weird we're making money now every night i've been in the casino by myself while you guys go up to chains jack off whatever i see i have been beating my shit i see zini and skump just together all dressed up scamper bring to dinner. Yeah. No, no text. No, hey, want to come. No, I'll be like, what's up boys? They'll be like, walk past me. Like, like, I don't matter because I don't. It is clicky. This org became the org was not, the org was not clicky at one point. You know, was it? It's divisive. It happens. It happens a little bit. I feel like it didn't use to be. I think

once money starts getting thrown around, people change a little bit, you know. They're not poor like us anymore. Money changed them. Yeah. Should we keep walking? Yeah. Where are. are we? Oh, we are in Planet Hollywood. Planet Hollywood, Nino. I think y'all, do y'all have any money on you? Let's play a few hands. I have a chip. I can, I lost my $1,100 I had in my pocket. I have a $100 chip in my pocket that I didn't cash.

He can't really film it, but I'd be happy to throw it on for the culture. Let's talk about this. I'm sure you could film, I'm sure you can play something. You can't really film it, though. Talk about this. I explained in a vlog. Am I the only one that gets this feeling of like Vegas is like, there's like a dark energy to it like no one's really having fun i have a lot of fun you look to your

you look like to your left i can agree with you like everyone's losing money everyone's sitting at the table it's always like kind of quiet people are losing hundreds thousands you look to your right an asian guy is sweating yeah Vegas is uh 500 a hand Vegas is a city that's like it's foundational like morals are like greed, lust. Definitely greed and lust. Greed, lust, sex, drugs. Yeah. Prostitution, gambling, stealing, unhappiness.

There's a lady dancing on the table. There's a lady. I've never seen that. Yeah, they do that here. Play Hollywood rocks. They dance on the tables? Yo, that's fire. The last time I was-

Get a shot of that. Get a shot of that. Last time I was here, fun fact, you can probably guess what I'm going to say. I was on drugs. You were doing cocaine? Uh-huh. Okay. Last time I was in this floor. Okay. I myself was having a bit of fun. Okay.

Taking a trip down memory lane. Right. And what a spot to do it. We can hit, we can hit it right here. Let's go to Las Vegas Boulevard. Las Vegas Boulevard back to the strip. And that was Planet Hollywood. I've never been to Planet Hollywood. This is actually kind of lit. It's like a club. Yeah, it's good. Good. Good open floor concept. Yeah, I like it. Ladies dancing. How, how good are you guys? when it comes to like eye contact when there's cleavage involved? Cleavage? Yeah. I look more than I should. I don't care.

Admittedly. I just don't care about cleavage. But I feel like this trip, I've been good at it. Because I, but here's the thing. You get desensitized to it pretty quick because everyone, every lady, every lady here. Well, it's a hundred degrees here. They're all like dressed to the nines. They all want to look hot.

Right. I think we go right here. You see fine. or 10 and then you're like, all right, that's it. And then it just keeps happening, you know? It's not like you see one every now and again. Like they're everywhere and it's whatever. Maybe it's just me, but I don't know.

I can't, I'm bad at it. Hey, hey, hey. Yeah. Yeah. This guy's free stuff. Hey. Yeah. Yeah.

Whoa. Yeah. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh. Oh. on the mic i'm going dumb and i do it every night being in the cat and he's doing this is Vegas baby and absolutely i don't know someone's always having fun

where are we we're uh we're we're we're hitting the right side of the strip this is the mall area this is a big strip area yeah this is the mall area and i think over here on the right look at that but let get it matt get a shot of the bellagio get a shot of the bellagio look how beautiful that shit looks gonna go down that that that place what means a lot to me are we going down here that's scat this is sketch i don't know i'm just following mac craig but a turn on we're gonna get final destination this bitch a hell yeah oh my god they dude it's like 11 p.m. right now this city never sleeps i love this city hell yeah sassy oh look at

So is that how easy it is? Yeah. So you just scan this QR code. Yeah. And the hooker shows up at your door. Yeah. Oh, see, I think tonight might be like a show night. Wait, this is AI.

Look at her. This is AI for sure. Maybe that one. This girl might be real, but this is AI for sure. It's funny how they get them. I'm going to drop these before I get any ideas. Yeah, it's like, I'm on emotion. I need a.

some emotion you need an emotional connections can't just well they can lie can you tell them to lie pay them more to lie absolutely you can pay them to do whatever you want man do you think look at the bellagio fountains going off all the fountains are the fountains are going off look at that but the bellagio and look all the head I have sexual encounters I need love I need you need love and affection and touches and soft kisses I can't just have a hooker I have a question yeah you can't really kiss them yeah they don't do that I want to kiss Oh shit. Are you not? I definitely want it to.

I need kisses. You're not supposed to kiss the hookers. I didn't even think about that. Well, you gotta think about it for a couple seconds and then you'll get it. A lot of cocking that. No, I understand. I get it now. They don't know who you are.

They don't, they're not gonna verify. That's true. They can't risk getting an infection of the mouth or else they're out of business. I really have never even thought about having sex without kissing. That seems such a like such a hard thing to do. Yeah. Do you think, other than the obvious, when we're talking about hookers, do you think it's like, do you think it's done irreplaceable damage on how they treat humans?

Because they have to act like they're in love with everyone. Yeah. Yeah. No, I would say they're very emotionally and spiritually bankrupt people. I would imagine that it alters their brain chemistry in a severely negative way for the rest of their lives. I would say even like besides. Hell yeah. That was a sketchy one.

Yeah. He was all yicked up on something. Yeah, he was throwing up gang signs that I don't think he knows what gang. I'm good. I appreciate it. Yeah. No, I don't know. Like, yeah.

Yeah. It's a fucked up thing. Even if like besides the having sex with people, like if my job required me to be, to convince the person I was around that I was in love with them, then I feel like it would make. make love harder because you would have to act because yeah how do you date after that exactly and then what's that dude what's that dude up to i feel like that that is the underrated part of the heart you want to go into paris i feel like that's an oh we we we we we'll got a pet it's an under-talked-bout issue when it comes to hookers other than the obvious i don't yeah but i think it's under-talked-bout because no one cares.

Because they've sold their soul. Yeah, man. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Vegas has Paris, but Paris did not have Vegas. I can't wait to ask Nick. I mean, that AC is pumping out of this place. It is incredible. Look how beautiful it is in here.

Matt, get a shot of that. Look how beautiful it is in Paris. What the hell? Have you never been in Paris before? Have you never been to Vegas? Dude, all, every hotel is so cool. What? I love this.

this fucking city. This is like a fake world. I love it. Have you been in the Venetian? No, he. I haven't been in anything. Oh my God. Every hotel has a completely different like theme and vibe and energy.

We have to go to the Venetian. That's why you said that's why you think the city is ass. Two hour pod. I don't think the city's ass. I just think it has a dark energy. It's definitely definitely has a dark energy. It does. That's why you drink.

But it is at. At the end of the day, you can do anything here. You don't have to drink and gamble and. Have sex with hookers. Yeah, you can eat good food, shop, and go to shows. Exactly. But, like, you can't, there are some of the most talented entertainers in the world in the city. What?

In the city. Oh, yeah, the shows. The shows here are incredible. The shows are the food. And there's comedy shows, there's magic shows. There's acrobatic shows. There's some that are mixed together, like Absin. That'd probably be such a nice time.

There's sexy shows. There's stripy clubs. There's table. I'm a big burlesque guy. It's like going to a strip club, but it's actual art. To not gamble and do everything else. Formal strip club. Oh, I thought you.

A burlesque. Yeah, no, it's a formal strip club. I've never done that. You should. The one at the, the one at the flamingo is really good. I've always thought it was funny because Piff, do you know who Piff the Magic Dragon is? Yeah. So Piff the Magic Dragon and ex-Berlesque are both at the same casino.

And I wonder if they share a green room. I always thought it was funny, like Piff the Magic Dragon with his dog, and then like him and like the ex-Rless girls walk in and they're like, hey, Piff, and he's like, hey. But I don't know. Yeah. You think Piff is a pure of heart guy in Vegas? No, he's someone who came here, sold his soul, didn't make it,

lost all his money and is now in a dragon costume, dude. Dude, he made it, though. He made it on that show. America's got talent. Right. He, like, won America's Got Talent. And now he has a residency here in Vegas. That's beautiful.

Yeah. Did you know Bruno Mars is held captive here because he went into so much gambling debt that he just has to play shows here to pay off his debt? Yeah, he was in the whole like, like, was it like a hundred million or something? He does, he does shows for free here. Not not like for the consumer free, but like Vegas isn't paying him to do shows. He's working off his debt. He's getting out of debt. Yeah. I feel like I feel like I should.

How much debt are you in if you're a multi-millionaire still in hell of debt? to where you just get. Like probably like three, four hundred mill. Like he has to have tens of, yeah, it's gotta say he's, Bruno Moses has made

probably over 100 mil, right? Yeah, oh yeah. Yeah, and you're still in fucking, yeah. Yeah, gambling's a sick, vicious drug cycle.

I think we got lost. I think we need to, and we can wrap it back. I think we need a flip of yui here. We just wrap it back. We're about to go to the wedding chapel. It's all right. I don't know how people get a dick.

I mean, I can, what do you mean? What do you doing it? Let's hit it right here. Let's see if World Series poker still set up I can understand how people get addicted to gambling but it's such a hot like yes like if what's this guy I ask it's a lot of distractions here that guy just said bro black ops two yeah hello three oh oh oh hell yeah oh I don't think you I don't think they're

saying that yeah I don't even know if he was alive in 09 but like drugs and alcohol. Yes, you take them, you take large amounts. The next day you feel like shit. And it wasn't that expensive. Gambling, it's so much money. It's such a hard loss. It murders your soul. And then it's like you can't just feel like shit the next day and go on with your life. Like you're down 300k. You're down 300k. I don't. I don't know how people can get such. I mean, I understand people work and then they go gamble and try to win big and they lose. it all they work again they go gamble again they lose it all they work again gamble again lose it all how many how many people how many people do you think like give me a rough estimate of how many people

you think have come to Vegas and with like their savings and like made enough money from Vegas to like live like wherever yeah like they come to Vegas with a thousand dollars and they leave with a million Probably like 14 people a thousand people in ever is that what you're thinking a thousand people ever Yeah, I mean there's jackpots but yeah not too many they can't be too many not too many and then that's assuming that they won the jackpot and then stopped gambling and left which they which also wouldn't happen which they didn't If you want a million dollars especially a couple years ago you would have put it on black are you on you we're getting deep I like how deep it gets I like it when it gets oh wow world series of poker is completely shut down I thought it just I thought it was still up. Oh no, it's over here. Beautiful. Oh, nice. Hell yeah. I think it is. There's a World Series of poker tournament going on. Yeah, I mean, I think it just ended. So I was hoping that it would

still be set up, but we got it at least. Oh, wow, we're in another casino. Yeah, the horseshoe. The horseshoe and the Paris are like connected. Oh, I've been here. I have been here. I have been here. Where are we? This is the horseshoe we're going into. Now, everything connects here, bro. It does. Everything connects in this beautiful city. that Nick loves so much. My fiance, I think, I think Alexis and I are going to move here after. Kids are out of high school. Yeah.

I couldn't live here. I think this is going to be our retirement place. We've talked about it. I mean, for, for me, I just have an experience like the maybe semi-sober, go to, go to shows, shopping, out and about. Right. Every time I've ever been to Vegas, it's been for a video game tournament. then you go to the casino, you're in your hotel.

So I haven't experienced. Maybe. Or did you scan that QR code? No, we've, I haven't had that Vegas experience either. Maybe I, I'm just listening to a lot of things. You should. Scan that QR code. Get jacked off.

Like, I feel like I have to, right? Yeah, check the box, bro. Scan the fuck. Literally go into it with your heart and your emotions and your guilt out of it. Get jacked off. It's illegal, right? Not really. but it's loopholed and no one gives a shit here.

On paper, no, it's extremely illegal to do exactly what it is, but no one gives a fuck here and it's kind of just like looked away from. Paying a lady of the night to come over and... Is it really? I thought it was legal here. Well, no, there are some counties, I believe, with brothels here. Oh, yeah. I watched a YouTube documentary about a brothel. And yeah, you can go to a full-on sex house about an hour and 30 minutes away and do whatever you want.

How is it? I haven't been. I have looked it up. I did consider it. I was coked out. Yes, yes, yes. I know. I know. But I didn't have a way to get there. Okay. But you didn't have a way to get there? Yeah, no, I wasn't going to pay for an Uber. Right. There's other ways, which these three ladies just walked by, all in white. You didn't look at them because you were like listening or

talking or something. I looked at him. I saw him. Did you see the shorter one? Look at you and be like, hi. Me? Oh. Like went like hi. Optic. Gaming. She touched.

Wait, I got touched? Or she like trying to reach. She like did this in front of her. She was like, hi. Oh. That's how it starts. Is it really? Yeah.

I didn't know how. I've always wondered like how escorts start. But I definitely. But I was kind of pissed she looked at you. Wait. Not on. You got a nice lady's number at the roulette table the other day. You want to tell the folks about that?

Was that a real little real lady? What was her name? Serenity. Yeah. Yeah, that was definitely her name. You're handsome. Let me get your notes. Yeah, Serenity was dressed scandalously, and she sat on a roulette table.

Okay. And she was playing like a fucking idiot. She didn't know how to play roulette. She didn't know how to play roulette. And she really fucked up the flow. And she was there for no reason. Put it on back. I was pissed off because she didn't know what she was doing.

Put it on black. She was throwing like $25. She would hand him $50. They'd give him $25. chips. She throws like 25-11-17, 25-on-3. And then it just misses, and I'm like, you suck. You're fucking a-lawful. Where the fuck are we?

Well, I feel like we're going to walk out of these doors and be somewhere crazy. This is where World Series poker was, but I'm pretty sure it's completely shut down. Yeah, this doesn't look like it. Do the same, but still play, Phil Ivy? Yeah, he does. Yeah, and he's still the goat. Turn around? You want to go.

Still the goat. Did we exit there? That looks like it's no-no. Guess how many steps I have today. My closest. Oh, never mind it reset. It's past midnight. My watch in central time. Hoos, you're sober, you're waking up early, you're not going to bed at 7 a.m.

You're hitting the gym in the morning. What's your schedule on this here? Vegas adventure. I've gotten up. I've hit a gym every day. I've eaten afterwards. I gamble by myself until my call time at the venue and then I go to the venue, do what I have to do, come back, gamble, and then I go to bed. Is this your first time being in the venue? time being in Vegas going to the gym yeah beautiful yeah proud of you man thank you

Today is going to be that day. I'm going to, how much do I want to withdraw now? That's right. That's right, baby. Yeah, it's good. The question is, when we get back, what are we doing? We're going to gamble, man. Or gambling?

We're going to gamble. It's going to be great. It's going to be great. Nick, do you know how to play poker? I know how to, but I would have to like, I'd be rusty as fuck. I feel like that would be a godlike poker player. You'd be a godlike poker player?

Yeah. I think in another life, I'm probably the greatest poker player ever played. I remember after rehab, I was broke as fuck. Came back. Two weeks later, Hax had some poker tournament. Into the ride out here, maybe? That's the ride show. Hacks had a poker tournament.

Yeah, L.A., Las Vegas Boulevard Street. No one cares about me. No one cares about what I say. No one cares about my stories. no one gives like flying shit that i'm even here what do you guys want to talk about no it's fine you were broke his shit when you got out of rehab out of rehab came back hex had a poker tournament at his place no one knew i was playing for rent money yeah i was going what do you mean no one knew well no one no one knew how broke i was the first thing that formal said to me when you when he got back

from that is i was like how was poker night and he said it was it was it was kind of asked because Nick was playing too hard. He was playing for rent money is literally what he told me. Well, maybe I told him that afterwards after I won. Because he said I won and I was like, guys, I've really needed that. How much was it like 300 bucks? It was like 500 bucks. Oh, that's just beautiful. I felt like that was such a good start to my six months over journey. It's just straight into gambling. Yeah. But winning. Straight out. Straight out of rehab for drugs. straight back into gambling.

You like Cesar's? The Blasio is always lit. I just think the vibe is just so beautiful. There's so many people.

This is the most, think about it this way. This is the most amount of guests we've ever had on a flycast. Yeah, thousands. Thousands of people. That's what we show up. Episode 200. Episode 200, thousands of people show up to be on the flycast. And the good thing is, is we got notices from all of them,

and they all approved that they will be able to be on media. Matt Craig made them all sign NDAs. Matt Craig's going on with the logistics. Oh, I love that. Yeah, absence right. Absence right there. Great show.

Best show in Vegas. Absent. Chad, if you come to Vegas, I would not steer you wrong. I've been to this show about 10 times. Every time I've came to Vegas, it's called Absinth, right outside Cesar. It is by far the best show I've ever seen.

It is a comedy, acrobat, raunchy, funny ass, insane show. I always wonder what the children here are doing because I see kids here and I'm like what is their free what they're doing is they're hostage to their parents innate desires for lust to greed and consumerism yeah they have no say the kids didn't say hey let's go to Vegas yeah they were like let's go to disneyland let's go to Vegas yeah I don't think bring our kid we don't like that much or you got you would have to bring a kid and a grandma or a kid and a nanny so that you can actually go out right Leave the kid and the nanny.

At home. Leave the kid in the room with the nanny. But I don't know. I'm not there yet. Getting closer, though. I can't believe you guys are still wanting to walk farther away from home base. Walking farther? No, we're just spinning the block.

It's like a circle. Yeah, we're spinning the block. That's all we're doing. So where are we in right now? This is the pathway to the Bellagio. This is home base for me. This is where they know me here. The Bellagio knows.

year. Yeah. Because you've won so much. You've won so much. And I'm just like a friend of the, I'm a friend of the owner. How much do you think it is that you have to either lose or win? Or where the casino starts pretending that they care about you?

I think it's 10,000. 10? At a regular casino, not a Vegas casino. In Vegas. Probably 150,000. Not lose. They don't give a fuck how much you lose. You could lose two million.

They're not going to be like, hey, you should probably leave. They're going to fucking take. They're going to try to take double. Yeah. How much do you lose to where they're like, hey, we'll comp you a hotel? Oh, I don't know. What's that scene? Have you ever seen this movie Casino?

Yes, great movie. Fantastic movie. Isn't there a scene where like a guy was winning so much? And he cashed out. So they hijacked his plane and made his plane not work. So he came back to the casino. And then he spent all of his winnings and ended up going down. Is that the one with Joe Pesci?

Or is that Ocean's 11? I don't think it's either I thought that was casino I know they're all they're all good movies I saw casino is like a mobster yeah casino is the one with Nick Nick

Huge line for Pinky Ring. I've never, yeah, I was never a club guy. I don't get the appeal of it. I've never been a club guy either. I actually, I don't think I've ever felt comfortable in a club. Yeah. I usually have to get extremely intoxicated. It's loud, it's dark, drinks cost a lot. You have to wait a long time. And if you want a table, I, I end up sweating. my ass all in a club sometimes yeah we know yeah sometimes i heard depends on the group depends

if we have a table it depends on if i'm feeling confident enough to speak to a singular female a lot of variables but i've had good nights i heard yesterday you were on stage at the at the kason event dancing in front of the crowd yes that was last night was a good night last night was like you know there there's times where you drink night was so good I missed work.

Matt Craigs is should have killed him. Speaking of assault, Macrax is revolving and. Should we go up this? That's the, is the walkway to the strip? Sure. There's a,

there's a rumor going around that a CDL player spit on a fan today. I saw that on Twitter. Good. We need more of that in this league. Yeah. Do you think there's anything that weren't spitting on someone?

Yes. Yeah. More people need spit on. More people need hit. More violence needs to happen. especially in this league you know I can't I can't really disagree with you too much

not really in this league I feel like people people are mostly respectful I feel like I feel like if you talk shit to a video gamer who just got out of champs into their face and if you get assaulted I feel like that should be free game

what do you think well yeah no I agree what he said like if he was like your mom's hot that I want your family to die though like then you can spit but if he parlayed those two insults too that guy's awesome you fucking suck go home like that you can't spit like that comes with the territory that comes with i don't know i'm not i don't want you can't spit at someone saying you fucking suck go home fuck you i don't i don't want to condone spitting because i think spitting on someone is like the worst

that what's up man man i think spitting on some spitting on someone's like the worst thing you could do You can kill him Okay, all right Well, the most disrespectful thing I don't think killing someone's disrespectful Right, I think it's actually pretty respectful to kill someone Yeah Shut out

But if you spit on someone like But what would he have to say I wonder what was said to Dude, it would take so much I mean you're also in such a You get knocked out of worlds You're piss Right

Like you're in a different state of mine Yeah I'm sure afterwards he was like Oh As soon as the spit Like his mouth As soon as the spit left his mouth, he regretted it for sure. I don't know, but we don't know if it actually happened.

Have you ever- Rumor? Have you ever had that? When was the last time you had that feeling of, like, doing something? And the second you do it, you regretted it. I haven't had it in a while. I don't think. One time I called a guy in a co-ed soccer team.

I was on a co-ed soccer team in college. And a guy was kept fouling me. And I screamed a word. I should not have screamed like this guy. Tell us what word it was. This guy is. And then I was talking to the ref and I was like, this guy's playing like a fucking.

And then I said, as soon as it left my mouth, like my body chilled up. I was like, why did I? I know that feeling. Why did I just do? And then everyone was like,

whoa, because I was a co-ed. Especially when everyone like gets quiet after the, yeah. And there were multiple teams playing. It was like everyone stopped and looked at me and I was like, what that? I haven't played.

I haven't played. I haven't played. I've had that. I've had those romance. What the hell? And I was like, I remember being like, well, sorry he is. Oh, man. I just had nothing else to shake.

You got to shut up the whole field of that point, dude. No witnesses. It was bad, bro. I was, I was 18. I for sure. I have no idea why that. But yeah, you know that feeling? Can we do, can we write off a thing here for Nick to do the Spinney Light camera?

That could be a video that we have for the video. that we have for the rest of our lives. I thought it was gonna be way less manual than it was.

It was a lot more pushing. It's very, it's centrifugal force leverage. Yeah, right, yeah. It was gonna be like the one at the Grammys and. Oh, we got it right here. Why do we buy it? It's, it's, oh, it's just an iPhone video. Okay.
