Very good to meet you.

Peace.

I told him you owe me a favor anyway.

Yeah, I do owe him.

Why do you owe him?

Because I had these, I had 10k in Resorts World chips, and they wouldn't let me cash him at Red Rock.

He had 10K.

He gave me 10K.

And then I gave him the chips, and he tried to cash them at Resorts World.

No, I didn't have the money.

I was the one who was getting...

Oh,

I was just going to go get the chips.

Okay, okay.

So I got 10K from somebody's cash for my chips.

And then I ended up just winning an extra 10, so I just gave up the chips.

Got it, got it.

All right.

Well, hopefully you win tonight.

Yeah, hopefully I win tonight.

That 20k, I'm going right to Blackjack.

All right, right, guys, you heard it here.

See you at Red Rock tonight.

All right, guys, I'm here with Sean.

What you got going on tonight?

Yeah, just taking everyone to live tonight.

We're having a great time.

You're not playing?

Because I know you play.

I play, but I'm too good.

They said I'm not loud.

There's a couple pros here.

Rampage is here.

I mean, but they're famous pros.

I'm just a pro.

Got it.

It's a little different.

Those are the most dangerous because you pull up at those one-two games that just wreck everyone.

Oh, I mean, yeah, absolutely.

Also, buy my book.

Okay.

When did that come out?

Last year.

It's

about my journey with poker and how it helped heal my PTSD.

So I have PTSD from the Army and unconventional therapy was poker for me.

So it's on Amazon.

Nice.

Turing PTSD through poker, guys.

Check it out.

Awesome.

How you doing?

Good.

We ready to go for a Subrock bros today or what?

On my V.

Let's go, bro.

Grill powers for all hours.

Yeah.

You went in this thing?

You know what?

One of us, brother, is better.

If we're going to have two of us, odds are better.

Are you at the same table?

Yeah, we are.

So I'm going to ask my bro when he gets here if he'll just pass me his chips and then fold when he has five chips left.

You guys should have a hidden agreement that you don't go against each other.

We'll find out.

You know, when he gets here, we might do some like taps on the side, you know, under the table.

You didn't show up with an IV bag this time.

What happened?

I already got the IV bag in me yesterday.

So I'm feeling good right now.

Yeah.

You guys heard it here.

I got the muscle chug for the dub, right?

Tywen, this is what's going to happen.

Are we live right now?

Is this live recording?

Yes, sir.

Oh, wow.

What's up?

I saw Mike Kelly in the flash.

I'm here.

I'm here.

Look at this.

Happy birthday, right?

Happy birthday, bro.

Thank you, bro.

I deserve that.

You drunk yet?

Not yet.

We're getting there.

You guys might recognize this man.

You know why, right?

Maybe.

It's hard to recognize me with my clothes on, but

I'm not recognizing something else.

Yes.

All right.

Well, good luck, guys.

Happy birthday, guys.

What's going on, bro?

How's it going?

You good?

Yeah.

You playing tonight?

I'm playing.

I'm assisting.

I'm helping.

I'm trying to make sure it's the best event it can be, man.

I'm excited.

How many people have we got tonight?

How many people win?

How many people are playing tonight?

I think 72 is my dad.

Damn.

Big field.

Yeah.

You're playing?

I thought you were playing.

Nah, I'm just commentating.

Any predictions on who's gonna win?

My prediction is Brad Owens gonna win.

That's a safe bet, I'd say.

Yeah.

Yeah, it goes.

I wouldn't be opposed if he won.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But I'm hoping Tana Mongu wins.

I love her.

You love her in what kind of way?

I love her as I want to see her win at the poker game, and she's one of my favorite players.

Nice.

Players in terms of poker?

Yep.

Nice.

All right, man.

Hejay!

Good to see you, man.

I just got here.

When did you get here?

Like an hour ago.

Okay.

Any predictions on who's winning tonight?

I hope Vegas Matt, but

he has to get really lucky.

You guys don't play poker, right?

Not well.

No.

Yeah, so we'll see.

He's gotten lucky in the poker tournament before.

He won a trip to an island before.

What?

Wow.

Yeah, 200-person tournament.

He won because he got lucky.

Damn.

He's going to do it it again tonight.

All right.

You guys have been blowing up, man.

You've been winning on the slots machines?

We did.

We won 7,000 before we came over here.

Bro, so that was good.

All right.

Well, you're on a winning streak, so let's see it continue, man.

Let's keep it going.

Good seeing you.

You guys playing?

No, I'm going to cheer.

See who wins.

Who do you got winning?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't even know if I'm going to be able to do it.

I'm not going to lie.

I think Nemo takes it back to back.

I wouldn't be opposed.

I love chess.

I think chess is equivalent.

You know, they have a little advantage.

A lot of chess players are good at poker, actually.

They are they are

if she doesn't win I'll be struggling.

Yeah, who you guys got winning Super Bowl Chiefs

predict the score if you're right.

I'll give you a thousand bucks

2721 chiefs

I don't even know man 27 21 I think it'll be worse than that bro.

I think it'll be a bigger blowout than that man.

We won't allow the script

27 21.

All right, we'll see 27 21 guys if they're right I'll Benmo them tell us in Tequila, guys.

Amazing sponsor of the events.

How's the company been going, man?

It's been going really good right now.

You know, really supporting hitting the local community right now, Las Vegas market.

Appreciate guys like Sean giving us the opportunity to get in front of some people.

Absolutely.

Which celebrities have drank it so far?

I've seen Al Jamaine Sterling like it.

My boy Sean Kelly likes it.

Eric Ebron, Keenan Allen.

Oh, yeah, bro.

Can't wait to see you guys blow up.

Thank you.

I appreciate it.

Absolutely.

Great to see you.

All right, who do we got here today?

Yoni Bierg.

What are you doing here?

Um, networking, dog.

Networking.

All my boys are playing just networking.

What are the best spots?

One of the best spots to network, I'd say.

I mean, shit, you got to be in rooms that you're not supposed to be in, honestly.

That's the best thing to do.

Like, you got to be in places where everybody's elevated.

Like, everybody's a superstar.

Everybody's doing their thing.

That's kind of like the key.

Absolutely.

So, what do you got started?

What do you do for work?

What's some advice you want to give the audience?

I work in sports betting.

Okay.

My advice would be to just not be afraid to fail, honestly, and not be afraid to kind of of like be put in positions where you could lose.

Because if you don't lose, then you don't win.

What's the most you've won off of sports bet?

Haha.

I would say, well, I put 18,000 on a random Lakers money line before, but that wasn't the most I won.

The most I won,

I put a 300 on a plus 6,000 parlay.

Damn.

So I covered 20k on that.

Holy crap.

That was this year, actually.

I was at the Eagles game and I covered the last leg.

It was insane.

God damn.

So with sports betting being so upset, up and down, do you have really rough periods sometimes?

Yeah, dude.

Like, I mean, if you can't, that's what I tell everybody.

Like, if you can't lose, like, then you can't, like, it's the same thing with winning in life.

Like, if you can't take L's, if you can't risk yourself, like, risk losing stuff, you're not going to win in the end.

Like, that's the whole thing.

If you can't risk taking an L.

Absolutely.

Who you got winning the Super Bowl?

I mean, it's rigged.

But no, I think, like, at the end of the day, like, quarterback risk quarterback, you got to go Mahomes.

Like, he's not losing.

Facts.

You got two good defenses.

You got one of the best 2Bs to ever live.

This is a chance for him to really, like, mark down his territory and all that.

Yeah.

I'm taking Chiefs Moneyline.

I'm taking Chiefs Spread.

And I'm taking CMC to score a touchdown because he's the GOAT.

And I'm thinking Kelsey for over 70 yards.

All right.

You heard it here, guys.

Take those bets if you believe in them.

All right.

All right.

What place are you getting in this tournament?

Well,

clearly first.

Yes.

I mean, who else could be first?

Vegas is in my name.

You know what I mean?

So I got to win.

Bryce Hall probably will be there at the end.

I'm going to knock Bryce out.

He's a little cocky, you know, and I have $100 or $250 side bet lasts longer with Bryce.

So I got to last longer than Bryce.

You already hear it.

You've been gambling with Bryce?

We just played sloths together.

Okay.

Yeah, he was my first collaboration.

I really, I owe a lot to Bryce.

He's a good kid.

I saw you gamble with Steve Will Dewitt the other day.

Oh, that was fun.

What a generous guy.

That guy is an absolute gem of a person.

We had so much fun.

He's crazy.

He's a crazy gambler, though.

He just won $150K for Vitali.

Did you see that?

Yeah,

did I see it?

It's like every other, it's every other video, you know?

I mean,

these clips, they blow up.

But yeah, I saw that about 8 million times.

Damn, man.

Well, good luck tonight.

Hey, man, thank you so much.

Yeah, meet you.

Yes, sir.

So you're good at football?

Yeah, something like that.

A little bit.

Just chill the

arena football, right?

I'm trying to football.

XFL.

XFL.

I'm trying to football.

What's the difference?

Outside.

It ain't the arena.

Okay.

Yeah, the Rock.

The Rock.

It's the Rocks football.

You got the Rock?

The Harvest.

Yeah, the Rock.

No me.

Hey, Dwayne, if you're watching this, man.

Where you at in Vegas, bro.

Come call me, bro.

Where you at?

Guys, you're about to make that NFL now.

Everybody know, man.

PZ just chilled on.

Got some good interviews so far.

Yeah.

One kid I played Poker to his friend HK Call and the founder of Better.

So he said he could get a Pokémon.

I'm about to take home at 50k.

And he said you get it, guys.

You heard it here.

Let's chill.

You playing it?

No, I just did a charity event.

Now I'm doing another charity event in a few minutes.

So don't really have time to play, but since I'm an owner of PokerGo Studios,

this guy is like, come over and say hello, which is great.

I mean,

I think this is a great idea.

The celebrity poker tour is a great idea.

Good way to get more people into poker, right?

It is.

And I see with, you know, there's this

a whole movement right now.

Poker Power.

Power Poker is getting,

they've taught 100,000 women how to play poker.

Their thesis is it's really good for risk-taking.

It's for girls at age 16, 18 to learn risk-taking.

Nice.

And it's going like wildfire.

So poker just seems to be exploding from the inside out and the outside in.

Nice.

Talk to me about the charity events you're running.

Well, I've made 75 million for charities at events that I've hosted in MC.

Wow.

Yeah, so it's fun.

I'm doing the Warriors one again next year

in a month.

Ninja was coming out to play with me.

Nice.

Ninja was going to come stay at my house.

We're going to sit on the floor together.

The Warriors came with the owners.

And then

unfortunately, one of the assistant coaches died and we canceled all that.

Saw that.

It was rough.

The event I'm about to do is for epilepsy.

So charity series of poker.

Nice.

So it starts in an hour.

Nice.

Well, stay tuned, guys.

Thanks so much for being interviewed and good luck.

You got it.

Just shots.

Tequila.

Okay.

So you're drinking it right now?

No, actually I'm drinking the other sponsor, vodka.

Alright.

Tell me about the tequila company and why you started it.

So just shots is an experience.

So instead of, you know, getting a shot of tequila, there's no brand.

For us,

we're the only resealable vessel.

We've got the vessel.

Interesting.

So we're also sustainable, right?

So what we like to do is we go where glass cannot go.

okay so pool parties beaches

grab and go to hotels

and again it's resealable wow so we call them memory keeper so our brand I say we're a marketing company not of everything

so we can Telson is one of our partners with CBC yeah and then so this is a keep thing there'll never ever be another vessel like this made again interesting so you now keep this and you'll remember the time you're in Vegas

where can people buy one we're gonna launch in April.

This is the first time you've ever got a lot.

You're excited and that's why we did this event.

So people would be like, oh, what is this?

How does it work?

And again, we're going to keep it.

So

100 milliliters, that's a shot.

We also want people to experience with it, right?

It's like, this is not this.

This is maker.

Nice.

And it's also, if you're playing football or something, or golf, you're thinking, and when someone does a great shot, you constitute it.

You buy a shot.

Yeah.

So with a slap you know for machine flap shot golf chip shot

basketball chip shot

we'll probably do a boxer you know jasp step shot so you can see it's not it's not just a shot nice the lifespan love it thanks for coming on man yeah thank you i'm brock prince i'm the coo of cpt

So you help run this poker tournament?

Yeah, so I handle everything on the operations side.

Every little detail you see in the room, I've had my hand in or approved or had an opinion on on at some point from the bar to the belts to the screens, all the players.

So yeah, this has been a long time coming up.

You trust the man, 72 players.

Everyone I've spoken to at this event said this is way bigger than the last year.

So congrats on that, man.

Oh, I mean, a massive, massive upgrade.

You know, the thing is, though, because the first one was such a success, it's allowed us to do it even bigger this time around.

And so we kind of look at it like we're going to have some exponential growth for these next couple of events because more and more people are going to want to know about it.

More and more people are wanting to come.

And so, yeah, we're just, we're just excited.

This is the first event of the year and it's an absolute, you know, blockbuster.

So and you're planning on doing them in more cities, right?

Yes.

I think in 2024, we're going to keep it to Vegas.

But in 2025, 2026, there's like already conversations around doing on cruise ships because they've got poker tables on there now, which is cool.

So I don't only know where it'll be next, but it'll be fun.

Stay tuned, guys.

Where can people find you?

Man, personally, my Instagram is KBR Prince, but follow Celebrity Poker Retour.

That's most important.

If you follow them, then we're good.

Thanks to it.

Thanks for coming on, man.

Cool.

Tell them.

All right, guys, here with Tracy Lee, a longtime Vegas local friend of mine.

How's it going?

I got Whataburger.

Oh, how was it?

Well, I actually have it hidden and it's keeping me warm right now.

Okay.

Is it one of the better burger spots you've had?

Where does it rank for you?

What, Whataburger?

It's just we can't get it usually.

It just opened down the way here.

So I was all going to stop, but I didn't get what I wanted.

It's beautiful.

Having a blast.

Who are you most excited to meet here tonight?

You know what?

There's a lot of high-level people and celebrities that came from all around the world, but I was most excited to see Steiny.

I got to say, I've seen Steiny go from, you know, being an assistant to Bob Menery to turn into this, you know, tremendous, tremendously,

his kids and how can you not respect that?

Shout out to Steiny, man.

People like to hate on him, but you got to admire his work out there.

Yeah, yeah.

I hate when people, you know, people want to pick on him.

If he looked like me, they wouldn't pick on him the way that they do it.

You think it's because he's short?

Yeah, look at him.

You know,

they're picking on him.

And that's why I need, you know, I don't like bullies.

We don't like bullies.

What's your message to Bob Menery?

Bob Menery, man, Mr.

Zap Zappy himself.

Bob,

I think we need to get on the golf course and

get it in.

And have a good time.

All right, you heard it here, guys.

Peace.

Bro, straight flush, boat, flush, just all the bad things that can possibly happen in Poker 2.

And you've been practicing too.

No doubt.

No doubt.

I mean, I've been having good hands, but you know what?

Sometimes the better players win.

Great turnout, though, man.

Congrats.

Oh, thanks for watching.

How many people are going to be at the next one?

I mean, I want to say the next one is March 18th, so it'll be a single table, nine people.

I want to say the top of the top, and it's going to be really exceptional, the type of job that we're going to bring.

Mayor, where can people learn more about this stuff?

I want to say at the Celebrity Poker Tour on Instagram, and I mean, it's the website, Twitter, Instagram.

Shoot, Blake wins, Instagram, Pilard's Instagram.

I mean, I'm sure after every tournament, you're going to see it after every celebrity.

Like, it's going to be amazing.

You guys are going to be the number one celebrity tournament.

Can't wait to see it.

Oh, I appreciate you, guys.

Yes, sir.

This man's never played.

Yeah.

And he's still in.

No, I've never.

No, I've.

And think about this.

I'm winning hands.

The field's been knocked out, and this man's still in.

Look at me.

John Crockett is still living life, baby.

Come get me.

So you at the final table?

Yeah.

She made the final five.

All right, what's up?

How are we looking?

You chip leader?

Very close, but no.

Okay.

Humble brag.

Humble brag.

Yeah, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm at like 400K.

So, yeah.

Yeah, super, you know, I'm just rhyming to steady.

You nice, you know.

I'm trying.

I'm trying my heart.

I got really lucky.

It's thinking about luck, you know?

All right.

Well, are you playing?

I'm not.

I'm just interviewing people.

Gotcha.

That's sick, though.

Yeah.

Can't complain.

Who you got to win in the Super Bowl?

I wanted the Lions.

You know, grew up in Detroit.

Obviously, I'm depressed.

But honestly, I like Purdy's story, so I'm going to go 49ers.

I don't like Taylor Swift.

Damn.

Why?

I just don't.

Like, as a person, or just what?

No, listen, I don't hate anyone because they're a person.

I think it's just, you know.

A lot of the times when I'm watching the football game, Taylor Swift is just cut and it's like whatever, you know?

Yeah.

So you don't think she's good for the sport?

You know, it brings fans in.

So I'm not hating on her.

I just said that to be funny.

If you're watching this, Taylor, he's said it on me.

I don't like you.

i'm kidding all right i don't like he's he's not him he's not him your glasses are fake we are

he can't prove that dude no dude can't prove it dude you're literally angry you're literally under it well then see you guys

bye

so these guys just told me do you put mayo in your coffee

I don't put it in my coffee.

I do love mayo.

There was a bit of a gag, but no, I mean, I'm an authentic mayo lover.

Shout out, Hellmans.

But yes.

So what do you put it on then?

Any kind of sandwich, any kind of cold cut sandwich,

a Philly cheesesteak, you know, gotta have it on there.

And then it's a great ingredient for a lot of dishes.

So I mean, it's a great condiment.

Can't deny it.

The rumor is clear, guys.

Thanks for clearing it off.

Thanks.

What do you got to say about it, Deep?

This is cool.

This is like showing the world what home games are like.

I mean, I think it's just so relatable.

You know what I mean?

Everybody who plays in their dorm room, everybody who plays with their buddies or with their business pals or whoever it is, this is what it feels like.

It's energy.

And it's not about the money, it's about who beats who.

I feel it.

And you can feel it when you've got these guys that have got obviously plenty of money, but they've got so much that they like to compete on.

When's the last time you saw Austin Eckler, Keenan Allen, Shane Victorino, and Will Levis all stand up and roar at the same time?

It's like, they don't even necessarily do that when they score a touchdown in the NFL.

They're doing it right here in Flint Deforture.

It's like the coolest thing I've ever seen.

The energy here is contagious.

It's different.

It's amazing.

I can't wait to see you guys throw more of these.

I'm excited for it.

You're going to have to play next time.

I'm going to play next time, guys, even though I don't know how to.

Well, you'll learn by the next time you'll play.

And you know what?

Maybe you don't need to know how to play.

This is a dynamic field.

I think it's quite an array of skill sets.

So, in this environment, it's gonna be fun.

I've met a few people who have never played before, so I'm gonna do it.

And they're still in.

Yep, they're still in.

All right, brother, thanks for watching.

I appreciate you coming, bro.
