Full Transcription
. so Thank you. you
it almost came on. Hello.
What's good?
On Rekt Radio, episode 107.
Can you guys hear me?
Yeah.
Perfect.
Wow.
Bitcoin all-time high day.
What a day.
What a day for all those on the show who have tons of Bitcoin.
Like one person.
Yeah, it's like one of us, two of us. Who knows anyway we got uh we got the legendary ben lamb on the show today one of yeet's co-founders professional poker player welcome ben
thanks guys appreciate it yeah nice to have you on finally so what are we doing fellas with the
bitcoin all-time high i'm short personally i just shorted. No way. Yeah, that's a shocker.
That is a real shocker right there.
I'm surprised.
Never would have.
I mean, I think there's just not a lot of momentum here.
I don't see any momentum in this push-through.
I actually do think for scalp, shorting like an all-time
high level for scalp is a good trade.
It's not like a multi-day short.
That's what people don't understand.
They also understand that you
earned 400 bitcoin at one stage though is that wrong yeah i mean what about that i missed that
point would you say but the irony of you owning 400 bitcoin at one stage and you're now shorting
it all time i'm scalping it you could still own bitcoin and trade like day trade i don't think people under you owned 400 bitcoin
at one point yes i was like 400 400 and now i have to work on this show and build this
i started crypto in like 2017. so what happened? You bought your own foreign Bitcoin at two grand,
and then when it went to like 2050,
you sold it all.
Well, it's a scout buy.
Yeah, something like that.
No, I think I had it in like 2020, 2021.
Anyway, this isn't a show to talk about
my fucking fuck-ups and the shortcomings.
Jesus Christ, we're starting to solve poorly.
At least the market's going down as we speak.
But yeah, scalping and day trading is a bit different than...
It's not multi-day.
Anyway, back on track.
Yeah, what are you guys doing?
Not much, really.
I'm just kind of watching my back my my net worth go higher
but that's it apart from that not really
jeez that's definitely it that's definitely dressed up today for the bitcoin all-time high
that is why i'm dressed up yes to celebrate bitcoin bitcoin all-time highs um no i have
to go to something after this so um that's why I'm dressed up.
That's special.
I don't know what to do here.
I think it's not yet time to sell, but I do think we will get an old season.
Whoa, look at this.
Wrecked.
My goodness.
Yeah, that's a nice comeback, isn't it?
Any news? Wow, where's that big dog? goodness. That's a nice comeback, isn't it?
Any news?
Wow. Where's that picked up?
You keep this chart up at all times,
Osef.
I'm not really like a huge chart watcher, actually, contrary to
what people may think.
Osef doesn't believe in charts, Ben.
I don't know if you know that.
I don't believe in charts, yeah. It's nice to see it, obviously,
recently.
He has this chart up at all times. One specific monitor. I don't believe in charts, Ben. I don't know if you know that. I don't believe in charts, yeah. It's nice to see it, obviously, recently.
He has this chart up at all times.
Like, one specific monitor.
You've got a fourth monitor, just that chart.
He's definitely a ticker tape on the screen, yeah.
The homeless Ratkei holders, they know every sale.
It's like an internal chat of like, oh, okay, this goes out, this goes in, this goes out, this goes in.
Thank God I got this.
I know where all the bodies are buried.
You've got to know where the bodies are buried, haven't you?
Otherwise, how can you do the killing?
Yeah.
I was going to say, how can you do the killing?
But then it got a bit weird.
I was thinking about the ret guy chart.
Obviously, we haven't told me um but the uh it must have been
it must be because a lot of rat guys did just take it and sell it right yeah i think so i think
people sold the airdrop you know which is that happens it's fair what's the vibe now about the
coin because i know like about a month ago it was a bit like oh you know like it's we've got to go back to the nft and now if you didn't own the coin it's kind of like
yeah the nft is great and i think people will always own it for sentimental value and
it can squeeze because it's like a really fixed supply but i think it's
you know for a brand coin the it's the coin that i think is the um i love them both yeah i think they're two very
different types of assets and two very different types of investments or collectibles depending
on how you view it but um you know my view is like if we continue to smash it with everything
at wreck brands people will be like how do i get a piece of that well the only thing you can really
buy is either wreck guy or wreck coin and i think red coin seems to be the the liquid front runner at least anyway so um that's just
how i view it i only say that because i know when ape came some people saw the ape and then they're
like almost fudding ape as it went higher i didn't know if that was like because it's painful that
right you know when it goes down and then it starts yeah jamming up like that is like almost worse
and then it starts jamming up.
That is almost worse
than it going to zero.
Yeah, it's a tough one,
but I mean,
I actually think a lot of our community
who've kind of got the game,
got what we're doing,
understood the vision.
I think most of them have held
all the way through.
In fairness to them,
they took the airdrop,
they held it,
they held it down 90%
from all-time highs,
they held it through that.
People were still bullposting through that point
where we were down 90%,
and now those guys are still holding and not selling it.
So it's good.
These charts and this type of traction we've had
is only possible when you have such diehard people
in your community, and I think that's what we have.
So we're just very lucky to have built that around us.
And yeah, I think it's...
Hopefully we can keep going.
I'm sure we will keep going.
We've got a lot planned for next month.
Next month is a big month.
A lot of things next month.
What's planned?
Can't...
I don't want to spoil the surprises, but yeah, we've got a lot of things next month what's planned can't i don't want to spoil the surprises but um
yeah we've got a lot of stuff coming but kbm prefers the line to the to the apple
yeah interesting choice yeah i actually prefer the apple but really i don't know. The Apple I'm not big on. Yeah. I don't know.
I like the line.
Personally.
I've realized that Ben Lamb hasn't said anything for the first
10 minutes of this show.
Great having you on, Ben.
It's not my show. I mean, aren't you guys supposed to ask
questions or something? How's this work here?
Usually, Osef doesn't talk, and then
he went on a long diatrap.
I don't have any red drink to show off.
I have my green tea.
We can talk about that.
We've got to send you some.
We'll send you some after this.
I've been asking for a while.
I don't know.
I mean, you get to know 10 times, you quit asking.
Yeah, that's all I felt too.
It took 100 times.
I don't know.
Plus some equity.
Plus some equity.
Well, I assume a point or two, yeah.
Nothing crazy.
We put that deal on the table, I think.
Right on the table.
Good on the table.
That brings some questions.
Are you ever going to do any caffeinated drinks?
Yeah.
I think we're not going to stop it
at just flavor's flavor sparkling
water i think you know people drink caffeine people drink clean energy people drink focused
type drinks so i think there's a big world of like functional products within not only just
within the beverage space but also outside of the beverage space so we're looking at that stuff
we've been in development of other drinks and stuff as well. So hopefully some, yeah, some good stuff coming
that's a bit more exciting than just sparkling water.
Cool.
So Ben, let's hear about you now.
Why don't you tell us a little bit about your journey into crypto,
you know, poker, journey into poker.
I don't know.
Give us a little background on yourself for people who may not know.
I don't know if everyone here knows who ben lamb is fair enough fair enough yeah uh i grew up in oklahoma and learned to gamble there playing pool actually uh we started
playing poker in high school went to college playing poker in san antonio and I'd made I'd run up my like weekly stipend to like eight or
nine thousand dollars playing poker like the local gas station games and and
assumed by then I had all the money I needed to drop out of college so drove
home told my parents I was gonna be a professional poker player they kicked me
out of the house immediately.
Went broke about two weeks later.
Got a job at the casino dealing.
Did that for four or five months off and on.
And eventually ran it up a few times and then moved to Vegas in 2006.
So I've been here for 18 years.
That's the short condensed version.
I don't know if you want the 45-minute version. But yeah. That's enough. That's the short condensed version. I don't know if you want the 45 minute version. But yeah.
That's enough.
That's enough.
That's fair.
And then how did you and KVM meet?
How did you become friends?
I needed to get into a poker game and I couldn't.
This is true story.
So if you're like a good professional poker player,
it's hard to get in games
because they don't want good professional poker players.
But if you bring some 400 Bitcoin rich crypto whale, which is about that time, 2020, 2021, it's quite easy to get in the game.
So we met through a mutual friend.
I brought him to the game.
We had some fun.
I think we both crushed.
We did crush.
It was good. Yeah. It was good.
Yeah.
It was good.
Yeah.
We had some good times in those games where I was the mark.
So can't complain from my end.
It was fun playing on those situations.
But, yeah, that's how Ben and I met.
Ben, yeah, your story.
Go ahead.
Eventually, Matt quit being the mark, and he was winning.
And so then I couldn't get in the game, bringing him.
But they still allowed him to play.
They just kicked me out.
Yeah.
Straight to the source.
He wasn't quite bad enough to get me in.
But, you know, not a pro, so they let him play.
The good old days.
I feel like we've maybe skipped over the bulk of your career
though between those two things right like when you must expect KBM in the
20, 20, 21 probably four five no yeah no we didn't know each other before that I
mean obviously I knew he was just from being a fan of poker for people don't
know I mean like Ben's won multiple World Series bracelets he's one of the most
legendary gamblers there is, probably.
Let's bring him up on Hendon
Mob. You must be
one of the top... I wonder how long it'd take you guys
to bring this up for me.
I can't bring it up myself.
I think he has a Wikipedia page, too,
so he's pretty big.
I got brought up
on all the Ye investor meeting um so yeah i think you should pivot
into like well go ahead how did you get the hit how did you get to this sort of figure
was this all like uh yeah i mean i mean that's over 15 years but but so I moved out to Vegas, like I said, 07, 08, 08, I think.
And I moved in a chance corn. It's real early.
And we spent, you know, our 20s literally doing nothing but playing poker.
Just like think about envelopes. You guys got in like crypto your first cycle.
Like it's just, you know, it's an all day job. You wake up, you play poker, you study poker, you think about poker.
You go to dinner, you talk about poker, you play poker after dinner and then you go to bed and do it all over again uh you know we spent 10 years doing that and and if you have a
tight net group of very smart driven people you know and that's all they do you're gonna get good
whatever you're doing so um i played primarily for, for about 10 of those years, but, but obviously a lot of tournaments, uh, you know, the world series starts in a week, which is, is always like, it's like candy land.
Like you look forward to the world series every year when it's over, you're like, so glad it's over.
Cause it's seven weeks long.
You're like, you know, I can't wait for that to never happen again.
And then 10 and a half months later, comes again you're in you're super excited
so you know summer camp you have all of your friends you haven't seen all year come in town
you can do whatever you want day or night you can play poker you know obviously people go to
dinners nightclubs or whatever um yeah i was watching an interview with negranu recently
you said like he doesn't drink anymore just like what did you do you have like a preparation schedule for this or are you just
uh over the six weeks yeah I'm a little different in that spot I kind of just show up and see what
happens I know like Chance is very mindful and he's gonna do yoga at six in the morning as the
sun comes up and and by all powers to hand that that probably helps them but you know i'll grab a green tea on the way out the door and be 15 minutes late and see what happens
yeah a little different a little different not super prepared i would say
maybe that's the way to do it be relaxed do you have any like strategy for big tournaments like
this say it again do you have any strategy for like big tournaments like this? Or to reveal too much about your game?
Yeah.
I mean, like, that's not like a, it's not like everyone is always like, oh, give me one tip to be better at poker.
And it's, it's, it's like, give me one tip to be better at trading.
What are you going to say?
Like sell resistance?
Like, like, there's no, like one singular thing you can say to tell anyone that.
But as far as like how to manage the world series of poker like you need
to tell your friends no quite often because if you have 100 friends in town every single night
one of them wants to get into trouble so you know you need to do that get your sleep uh you know and
just be as mentally prepared as you can because the long days do get quite grueling especially
in the multi-day tournaments like the
main is is eight or ten days long 10 or 12 hours a day plus breaks and whatnot so people get super
super tired and stuff like that so just i don't know not being an idiot past midnight is is is
helpful yeah someone said someone said in the comments any wrecked branded gear for ben at the
world series of poke i know you're wearing Yeet gear, but how have
we not got this man? We talked about
this at the beginning of the
show. We need
one or two points, and we're
good.
We'll do it.
Good time to do that negotiation.
Exactly.
Tattoo him right here across R-U-K-T.
R-U-K-T, yeah, exactly.
There you go.
I mean, all this boring-ass tournament talk,
I only talk about the real shit, like cash games,
high-stakes cash games, games with actors and celebrities.
Let's get some dirt from those and the biggest ones you've played,
the most fun ones you've played, maybe a crazy story or two.
I know most of these names probably have to be redacted,
but I think that's the Ben Lamb experience.
It's not playing some poker tournaments.
Ben here is connected to the top brass everywhere.
That's what we want to hear about.
Yeah, I mean, I spent a lot of time in L.A. and Miami
playing these high-stakes private games.
People rent out these lavish houses, homes, condos, whatever.
Specifically in the LA games, you get a lot of comedians, you know, football players, a lot of basketball players.
Most of which I'm sure you can easily guess, guess who I don't necessarily want to name names, but.
And, you know, the games get pretty out of hand. I'd say they're like half a party, half a game.
You know, I kind of quit the games because as a professional poker player,
I was expected to drink, like, heavily to play these games.
You know, I just turned 40.
I had a nice little jolly.
And those, you know, 20 shots of Jameson nights are quite difficult the next day.
Is that the entry you have to play?
Yeah, I got to bring Matt or get drunk or both.
Yeah.
There's so many politics in the world of high stakes and there's such headaches.
And you have so many barriers to actually like making money in the private game sector.
You got to get a seat. That's nearly impossible.
You got to, you know, win, which is like roughly the easier part.
But but to win, you have to obviously just win, but then you have to not get cheated.
And there's a lot of rampant
cheating in these private games uh you know specifically in la like i haven't played there
in a few years and i think i'm kind of done with that scene because who knows how many untold
millions i got cheated for a lot uh and wow okay then you got to get paid which is a whole another
thing is like you know like these games kind of run on low liquidity sometimes where, you know, some whale comes and lose a million dollars doesn't
pay like they're going to pay the other VIPs, other whales first and me last if at all.
So all these politics are just, it's just such a headache.
And I, you know, luckily crypto, you know, entered and I, you know I fell in love with that. Not on the level of it as you guys, but at least allowed me not to have to fly to LA every time there was a good poker game.
How much money is on cable in these games if there's millions of dollars changing hands? How big are the stakes?
It's kind of crazy, right? This is all on credit almost.
on credit almost so I guess people can pay up front but it's kind of a crazy world where
you are putting a lot of faith into the backers of the game and like putting faith into people
paying it's like quite a minefield yeah I mean there's been times I was owed more money than I
had from these games like this is my like bankroll and I'm owed this and like texting every day
trying to trying to collect and like there's no way I don't know if i ever got all i'm sure i got some of that money but there's
no way i got any of it or all of it have you taken anything else in lieu of that like have
you ever been like oh i've got this i'm gonna i'll give you that i have a funny one yeah um
guy owed me some money inviting me to his house He'd owned me for like six months and he was always the type of guy who, uh, was slow to pay.
I would say at, at best, um, invited me to his house, had a poker game, said he was going to have the money when I got there.
Didn't I either won one or lost small in the poker game, like very small, like very small.
And the next day I drove to his house and he has all these nice cars, like, like, you
know, Lamborghini, Rolls Royces, Bentleys.
And I found the keys for his Bentleys and I, and I drove it four hours home.
And two days later he was like, hit me up.
He's like, Hey, did you take my Bentley?
I was like, yeah.
He's like, well, why?
I was like, you owe me money.
Like, he's like, well, I'm going to have someone come by and get the Bentley.
I was like, sure. Does he bring the cash? Like, like, what's like well I'm gonna have someone come by and get the the Bentley I was like sure does he bring the cash like like what's the deal with that two
weeks later he paid me guys Bentley back it was I didn't just steal the man's car
he was somewhat of my friend what it's worth yeah I got paid a lot quicker I'd
say that's great there must be a lot of like underground dealings and like
things that have
to happen for all these games to get paid off liquidity wise. Yeah. Like other situations that
might've come up that might be funny or noteworthy. Well, frequently you're playing a game and like
everyone has like three, 400,000 in front of them. And they like half the table drove there in like
a leased BMW three series. And just like, you don't have $400,000 like in your in your
life let alone to like be gambling with in one day and you're like staring around it's like dude if I
winning like you'll be up say you're up like a few hundred K and you're like if I win like another
dollar like there's no chance I'm gonna get paid like you almost need to like lose 50k back and
like find a reason to leave like you like dealing with all that it's just it's just such a nightmare
and a headache uh and for the younger generation still going through it I dealing with all that it's just it's just such a nightmare and a headache
uh and for the younger generation still going through it i wish you the best it's you guys
have some headaches ahead of you yeah i think everyone likes the you know the craziness of
these amazing cash games but the the debt management part of it doesn't sound so sexy
it like if you're calling people up months on end end, trying to get repaid and you know,
you probably won't ever be.
You have to get like security, I guess.
Yeah, too many mindful-
Maybe we should talk about how it happened
with Yeet a little bit,
because I think it's kind of an interesting story, right?
Like we, so Ben, if you don't know,
is also a co-founder of Yeet.
Came in very early.
I guess co-founder, but not the first co-founder of Yeet. Came in very early. I guess co-founder, but not the first co-founder
you would say.
As in, Benlan was actually an investor,
potentially for us when we first started.
And then managed to make his way onto the cap table
pretty quickly, actually.
You listening, OSF?
You listening?
I'm listening.
Clearly KBM owed him some gambling bets
and started to put two and two together.
We're squaring out.
We're squaring out.
Yeah.
Do you want to put two and two together there?
How did KBM come to you with uh with
that battle so my like my mentor in vegas has been bobby baldwin for the last 15 years and
those who don't know he's he's a living legend within las vegas he uh you know worked from 1982
at the golden nugget all the way to about 2009 or 10 or no, 2013 or 14.
He opened the Aria, the Bellagio, the Mirage.
He was Steve Wynn's right-hand man.
So in the last 15 years while playing poker with him and, you know,
like him being my mentor, we've talked about the other side of things quite a lot.
And I've always been very interested in casino operations, gambling from that side of
things or gaming from that side of things. And so about a year and a half ago or a little over a
year ago, I started taking calls. I wanted to invest and consult for a very early stage online
cryptocurrency casino. My goal is to put some money in, consult five, 10 hours a week,
still play golf every day, you know, kind of relax.
And Matt called me on the way home from the casino,
probably after a few beverages, I'd say,
bitching to me about losing money in Baccarat.
This was about a once in a month thing,
where it was Baccarat or Blackjack.
He was giving me his bad beat stories
about the dealer hitting a five on 16.
I only win.
It is embellishment.
I'm like 20% listening.
I feel bad for the guy and he's like
yeah, I'm never going to do it again. I'm like yeah,
this time is different, Matt. You've got this together now.
Maybe embellish him a tiny bit.
Did the internet just go out again? I get kicked. So at the end of that call, he's like,
so what did you do today? And I was like, well, I'm taking these calls for these, these, you know,
online cryptocurrency casinos. He's like, dude, what do you mean? I was like, I told him and he's
like, we're starting one. I was like, well, tell me about it. And he tried to tell me about it.
It was pretty late in the night.
And I said, why don't you just call me tomorrow?
And I think I took the pitch from you guys the next day or maybe two days later, just off a deck that you had built.
And, you know, from there, I saw the founding team was strong.
I saw the vision was strong.
And I snaked my way into as much equity as I could.
But ended up with a 90-hour week job instead of that five-hour consulting gig I wanted.
Yeah.
I feel like the deck gets a bad rep.
It's become like this law around it.
I don't know how we sold anything on
that thing but you did yeah you were completely sold on it and then we look back on that deck we
go how i was sold on youtube i was not sold on the deck yeah and you kind of you kind of dabbled
osf a bit too yeah yeah i was saying a little bit at the start um i was on a couple of calls
I was on a couple of calls.
Yeah.
You know, the first time I walked in a casino, I'm sure this is true for almost everyone.
You walk in a casino, you're 18 years old or 21 years old, whatever, and you go and you lose your 100 bucks.
You're like, damn, I want to own one of these one day.
This is awesome.
Let's own a casino.
And then, you know, we're presented the opportunity to own a casino, 20 years later, like I took it.
I mean, how cool is this?
Like, get a build and shape and design like a casino
and own it.
That's kind of the dream of, I think, a lot of gamblers.
Hmm, yeah, let's talk about what you did then.
Because you are in charge of a lot of different bits
of the business, but I think, particularly the gains,
you've done a lot of those.
Yeah.
Has it lived up to your expectation?
Like what have you mainly been doing?
Yeah, I mean, like, you know,
obviously we have a long ways to go
and we have a lot more games to build,
but I've always enjoyed playing new games,
learning new games, like, you know, tweaking, like we make up a poker game at two in the morning.
And I'm like, hey, you should, you know, discard off the turn instead of the flop, like like little tweaks like that to like make the game play better, whatever.
I've always enjoyed and maybe even been good at.
And so as like we decided pretty early on that, like to differentiate ourselves from, you know, the big, big mainstays within the industry, we're gonna have to be different.
And and and custom games, which is like kind of like the most fun thing for me to do, like it was it was interesting.
It was new. You know, we could take risks that maybe others in the industry weren't weren't taking, you know, try to deliver a more fun product, more colorful product,
you know, something that would drive, you know, traffic to our site and then retain them.
The main problem is, is I've never written a line of code in my life.
So, so battling that as, as, you know you know i got chat gpt it's good enough right
um but just we're very lucky at yeet to have a very talented team of developers and and so
my you know stupid silly idea of like okay let's have a a lamb crossing the street and a wolf
coming after him like how do i how do we turn that into a game and now we want to add an alien um i had a question on on lamb chopper actually is
that named after you is that was that the part of the thing or was that just a fortunate coincidence
technically not it was matt's idea so matt's matt's was the let's make a lamb and a wolf
and then literally everything else after that was me.
That is why I did it though. I mean like I felt like it'd be good to have someone.
It was an easy sell to bring your brand to me to make the lamb.
Yeah, I was trying to bring your brand into it, you know, let that lamb run itself and let you market all those rich poker players who are in crypto.
You want to see the lamb fail and succeed in different ways.
The Lamb's...
We need to get some stats up on how many deaths the Lamb has.
It's rough out there for the Lamb.
No, there was a little bit of his name play in there.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's like Ben says.
Team effort, but it's like the devs crush it. I don't know. Yeah. like Ben says, team effort, but it's like the devs crushed it.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Parker's in the audience.
There he is.
Yeah.
Parker was pretty much 99.9%.
I'll steal .01,
but Parker was the brains behind Coin Race.
Almost only him.
Among other games, yeah.
Some of the original DGN steps.
Maybe some
viewers remember that.
I think it's been
a lot of work.
That's been the one surprising
thing. Much more than we thought,
for sure.
You can launch some shithole white label
and get it over the line in a couple
months and have no upkeep with a bunch of russians in the background or something
or you know you can do a unique way and do it yourself which we were offered a few times at
the start uh yeah no we did have a little crazy because that's a good way to not even burn hot i
was gonna say burn hot and fizzle out,
but I don't know if you're a burn hot or the white label.
I just capture a small piece of your audience and then see it around.
Hard to retain them.
Yeah, you might get them for a moment.
You might acquire them, but hard to retain them.
We're trying to build something real as gamblers that have wanted to do this for decades.
So, yeah, it's a bit different, I'd say.
It's a longer process, though, and
a long learning curve.
I think we're finally fighting all cylinders now.
What was the hardest part?
It sounds like a lot of it's been quite
fun in terms of designing
games and stuff, but
what's been the parts that have been
the most challenging in terms of getting it
over the line?
We're not developers. I think it's been the main thing.
The accounting team is not developers.
So I think as we've come to market,
we've all kind of come into our element
a little bit more. And that's why I think
it's done well at the start. But it took a long
time to build. It took a long time to build
and we
hired
an external
development team to do it at the start,
like an industry development team, and that was probably an error.
And we just made some errors in the buildup.
So to build something like this is incredibly difficult.
It's like building an exchange because you have to do custody.
There's a lot of, like we do 300,000 bets a day.
So it's like you're dealing with a lot of transactions on a daily basis,
dealing with data, then it's the security side of stuff like you're the number one for like
people trying to um hack you guys or exploit you guys like everything's got to be like uh uber
tight and all that sort of stuff and and then it's like performance scaling all the different things
about how this business actually grew quicker than we thought it was going to from like
the start and that's that was a challenge so but i think now it's we're like playing to our
strengths a little bit more i think that's for sure it wasn't like a few months ago we were like god
when is this going to open like it's just it's just so long trying to get some of this stuff done
It's just so long trying to get some of this stuff done
was the main thing
was the main thing.
I don't know if you feel the same,
like when you start something where you don't,
I mean, like I said, Benland's got some more experience
and KBM has some experience around this,
but we're not industry native necessarily.
You with drinks, right?
Like you just make errors at the start
and sometimes you cut corners or you do start and you sometimes you like cut corners
you do things and you're just like uh yeah that if i had could do it again i wish i'd done this
it's painful isn't it like at times it feels it can feel quite hopeless where you're just like
oh yeah i think just not being able to develop ourselves is the biggest part of the hopeless
like we're just like sitting there like wow like we wanted to do things and we just can't save it.
But I think we're finally overcame that,
but it was a tough six months,
probably lag time.
That was,
you know,
arduous and made us question for sure.
I had to strip some features and whatnot.
And we're hopefully getting those over the line soon,
but.
What more stuff do you guys have coming that you're excited about that you can perhaps divulge
over the next few weeks and months and years to come you want to take it away ben lamb i feel like
you you're in charge of the games maybe talk about some of the games you got coming well sportsbook
number one is is on the way uh and obviously that'll be a big change for us um like like all
the other things like we could
push out a you know a piece of crap white label sports book in the next like three weeks or four
weeks if we wanted to but you know we've kind of taken our time with all these things might as well
take our time with this as well make sure it's as good as possible a couple other small features
after that that are all coming but but yeah games is like obviously the most exciting for me personally
and i'm sure some of the people share that uh we have i think it's like 21 games in some level of
of development whether that's like a fully workable demo that kind of works that just needs to be like
polished and integrated on the site or like at the very low end, obviously just an outline of a game
with some very basic storyboards-esque stuff.
But yeah, it might take us a year,
but we're going to get out most of those games
and a bunch of other cool stuff.
Some of them are like mines, high-low,
like games that everyone else has,
but some of them are super, super unique.
Kind of, you know, like something you haven't seen before i'd say at least at the very least
that's cool yeah i do think i do think like i'm obviously i'm not like a big casino guy or gambler guy i don't i haven't often played a lot of the online games but i did um try the stuff on you
and it's like it's good games you know it games that I feel like I would play on my phone,
even if I wasn't gambling for money, if that makes sense.
Which I think is the mark of a good game.
It's sort of like, if I'm just...
Like right now, if I'm on my phone, I'll just bring up some...
I used to play Temple Run and all that shit quite a lot
when you're just waiting without internet or whatever.
And I feel like these... Something like Lamb Chop, I would just play if i'm like on a flight and i
don't have internet i guess that i think is the mark of a good game in this day and age something
that you would just play mindlessly anyway because it's like for whatever reason it keeps your brain
engaged that's my two cents yeah names cheers guys no agree. I think you want to make them fun.
I think that's...
And also, we try to make a bit more crypto
so people can...
I don't know.
We're just trying to replicate
some of the stuff that people are doing
in crypto each day,
which I think is going to be cool
and hopefully pays off.
We should promote the code, though, for this.
This is going to be for next week, right?
So enter it this week, and we're going to bring on the code though for this. This is gonna be for next week, right? So enter it this week and we're gonna bring on
the people for next week.
The promo code is MOON, M-O-O-N, MOON.
This bring people up on stage who were called last week.
We're gonna play some of these games.
Maybe Ben actually you can help direct
to playing some of the games.
That'll be fun. We we'll have them come up in the uh audience definitely play some lamb chop play
some risky check uh a few of the other ones anyway what should we um should we talk a little
bit about crypto about the market about poker like where else where you play you're playing
a golf game with negrano today right maybe some golf let's talk about golf so what see who came how do
you how do you guys get that over like that it's so weird like I'm like
literally watching fucking masters are watching like PGA I just see like see
who came with like a fight like a massive yeet.com thing on it's pretty
crazy to just see that you know what's funny about that is is like
i'm not sure my dad like realized i was building like a business like i told him like for like a
year i was like yeah we're building something that's gonna be big and cool he's like all right
yeah yeah you know and then one day he saw he's watching you know like after me he saw yeet.com
on on cwoo he's like you're actually building something and it's kind of cool in that respect but um i have a good buddy of mine named colt nost uh i met colt when i was 21 me and a friend
didn't have much money we were sharing a hotel room and colt had no money he was on his way to
the vj tour he was trying to get the vj tour uh and slept on our floor um fast forward you know many years later i asked colt who now works for
cvs who i should who we should kind of like target to like bring on to like target asia target south
america whatever else um and he said 100 see who can be your guy like loves loves gambling
is hilarious is is good golfer he's gonna get better uh and put us in touch
um and and and we're loving him we're loving watching him he's had he's quite a blow up the
last month especially yes when he's been like leading and i'm just like whoa is he actually
gonna he's gonna pull one off soon gonna do this and then you know so much chef like his mental
and then you just say okay whatever it's hard with scotty like he's so freaking good that like if if you're trying to battle scotty on a
sunday like it's like tiger back in the day you know not to say they're the same but it is there
is some cordillary there that that you know you know you're not going to get in by shooting one
or two under like scotty's coming for you like you need to go low again and you just went low
three days in a row so it's a lot of pressure you see that photo of them where it's like
see we can just there with like a bit he's like with a beer or something in like the clubhouse
he's just like staring into space like scotty birdie for the last five and he's like oh god
i'm in trouble yeah exactly yeah but he did he did hit a hole in one didn't he which
is from 250 from 252 or something that's a very long hole yeah that's it i think right yeah yeah
that's mental like that's pretty good how about him just smoking the random dart too the day before
i don't even think he smoked cigarettes he just like like bungling from his caddy or something he's like yeah hit the nerves down a bit
that's why he's great for me yeah what a guy i love this guy so you do a bunch of golf and you
do gambling on golf or what you got like i mean you're out on the course a lot we're going to
talk about mj are we going to talk about you getting i don't know stuff like that
i've been i've been lucky enough to to play golf with some of the the more interesting people in the world um to say the least but most of them would probably not be too happy but yeah uh
Yeah, why you guys got to put me on the spot here?
yeah why you guys gotta put me on the spot here
I thought this was a friendly situation.
You're like, tell us about all the degenerates, actors,
and golfers and basketball players that you play with.
Yeah, I mean, what the fuck else is there?
Yeah.
This is a long-term go, right?
You can go there.
I think, to cut it short, you are a prolific golfer.
You play golf with a lot of celebrities too, right?
This is the reason why you know everyone.
It's poker and then it's golf.
Yeah.
You know the biggest investors in the world too.
Like you know some big people through both of these two.
I think the reason that like I'm not really seeing as a threat around these guys. It's like, you take a guy,
like you mentioned before,
like he doesn't want to talk about like,
you know,
the dream team or anything like that.
He wants to have,
he wants to have a day out with the boys and play golf,
have,
you know,
drinks,
gamble.
And if you just never ask them a question about any of that stuff,
like maybe you're invited back the next time.
And yeah,
there,
there's a hundred questions I'd love to ask these people
and i just kind of don't and just have a good time kind of live in the moment
uh been lucky enough to to get pretty damn well connected um
yeah you know osf is obsessed with golf at the moment like i know i know we have a giant match coming up yeah very big very
big me and i'm greg norman jr baroque is that happening is that happening we should make it
happen i'm done there's talks yeah let's talk talks yeah i i think it's a favorite to happen
maybe like uh august september area yeah wow that'd be amazing. On the live tour, maybe.
The Web3 Invitational.
There should be some sort of like proper crypto
invitational with some actual money.
One billion RectCoin buy-in.
How much is a billion RectCoin worth?
You might want to at least 10X it or 100X it.
There's a lot of coins out there.
We're playing
for like zimbabwean amounts yeah yeah exactly trillion yeah one trillion ret core buy and i
think that's a good one that's that's that's like 250k or something so that's pretty serious button
all right i'm in i'm in yeah we should definitely like organize something like
yeet times rack times web3 some kind of higher stakes
golf thing
oh yeah we should definitely do that
that would be fun get Rug Radiant
to do all the media for it
and then we can
we can sponsor it
rec sponsor it
that's an event right there
we should actually do that
who can we get let's get Griffin that like who can we get where's
get let's get griffin on it who can we can we get on it i just got kicked off i just got kicked off
my own event damn so just like brought this great idea and it's like no griffin will do it though
i don't know how i've ended up with two people who I work pretty close alongside who honestly
would just sack this off just to kind of, it's a way to enhance their own golf career,
both of their businesses.
100%.
Rex is quickly becoming a golf brand.
And if Ben can try to find a way for Yeet and golf to partner up.
I mean, who would you do golf merch?
Yeah.
Only golf merch, do a world tour
play golf in all these places
that's a dream
you guys doing golf merch as well?
yeah
I've got a nice closet full of it
if you need anything
golf is one of the fastest growing
not only sports but also
like social engagement things like if you i don't i've never really spent much time on instagram
but i've started to recently um just because of like all the rec stuff and like follow some of
these golf accounts right it's like accounts with like 200 followers and they post some random video
and it gets like millions of views and then they just blow up over the next few weeks. There isn't really any other thing
that is that popular right now, I think.
Especially in...
The other thing about golf is it's the right demographic
for you guys and also for us,
because it's sort of like that 25 to 45-year-old male,
people who have a bit of money,
people who weirdly now are a bit more degenerate.
I think golf has changed
it's not like this proper thing anymore um so i think i think golf is like a hack to get access
to like actually a really strong target demographic um and am i just saying this so we can play more
golf yes but that that in itself is proof in the pudding right let's let's just make all our dreams come true together
right let's find a final way to work oh this is what we sponsored it we've been sponsoring golf
tournaments this is from when we sponsored a golf tournament the other day the other day
you mean when ov managed beautiful swing again oh we managed to go to sicily and claim it was a uh
yeah oh yeah we've got another we've got another golf tournament
next week we're sponsoring in in the uk so you guys should uh you should get involved
this is like jolly central like he's managed to it's not jolly central this is this is what
they're turning wheels are turning let's work it's why i gotta go i gotta go to the next game
tonight for work actually so
maybe we should we should get to these games that we're about to play so i can roll out you guys
are going to send cowley next week for for work as well and cowley can't make it anymore so
another spot another yeet spot if anyone wants to take another man who loves the jolly another man
who loves the jolly so let's do it how are we doing this right yeah let's bring them up there so um firstly
should we pick the winners for next week and then in the meantime let's have not to get wrecked first
you don't want to come oh yeah sure yeah of course yeah and the final question how do you not get
wrecked in any arena i think just hold on to your phone or bitcoin as tight as you possibly can
as tight as you possibly can just hold them there you go
we need you we need you um i i mean i don't know like it's tough like poker and trading
obviously share a lot of like the same risk situations um and the same thing is like if
you can't play a poker game with 100% your net worth
you can't make one trade with 100% your net worth or even more than like a few percent probably um
you know I'd say half the battle being a professional poker player isn't isn't being
good at poker it's the rest it's managing you know the actual like job version of it like there's so
many talented poker players that are significantly better than
the rest of the field who,
you know,
are,
are,
are broke and working at Amazon because,
you know,
they took that one shot a few too many times.
but nothing,
I'm not telling you,
you don't know,
Matt.
is that towards me?
it's a double,
it's a double attack.
The Bitcoin and now this.
I know. I don't know why. I don't know why.
Thanks, Dad.
All right.
So let's choose the people for next week,
and then let's bring three people up,
and then if OSF needs to leave to whatever the fuck he's going through,
then he can.
I mean, this is an old one.
I don't even... Where is Gain Gainsey anyway let's bring him up yeah bring him we get him on the monster one of the biggest streamers now yeah I'm fun it's not
the biggest I don't know who else streams and pump fun oh nobody honestly I mean maybe we should uh
maybe we should I think his gate, you see his coin?
It's worth like 10 million market cap up only.
Yeah.
Gainty has his own coin now.
Right.
The only way to stream is to have your own coin.
But this is the only way you're allowed to stream.
Oh, he has a stream coin.
Yeah, he has like a stream coin.
So what are we doing first?
Are we doing- we are we doing
holy what's up only are we choosing the winners first for next week or are we
playing the games first i think let's choose the winners next week yeah in turn um so can
we choose three at the same time just one by Oh, so how many have we got?
Oh, baby.
Okay.
Wow.
There's a good chance people win five grand in 48.
Oh, Korea.
4890.
You built the whole casino and this is what you added, which is annoying.
Yeah. yeah wow this is
this is actually built by DJ Ntai
who's one of our best players
so watch your mouth
yeah
this is
this is going to have a big upgrade
which we're helping sponsor
for the upgrade
I like it
this was built before
Korea, Freaks, mattis cup mattis
got the unknown player i see him grinding but good for him to get on there
okay um let's play the games then so should we start what do you want to play what do you want
to start with then what do you want to start with what game we're playing how many games we're playing two well we have three people up they get 500 a spin they spin it twice and the third one is
bank if they've lost twice basically so uh let's do a a risky click to start risky click all right
so i don't see people's username. So I don't know who is who
Who is ham maxi salmon Cheryl so I must be maxi
See all right, you get to choose two else
You get to choose
We're driving four of them, aren't we?
Aren't we
Oh yeah, what do we want to do?
Uh, oh, yeah, what do we want to do? Do you want to?
Do we want to do one?
You drive one, I'll drive one, Ben drives one.
So they're getting three $500 spins on Risky Click or what?
They are, yeah.
Four on anything.
Yeah, each one of them.
I'd say number five.
Okay, there you go.
Number five. One point.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let's do that.
Let's see where we end up.
Find the transaction.
That was close.
That was close.
All right.
I'm feeling lucky about the next one.
That was a dirty water.
If you have lost, if you lose 500 the first two two times you get to bank the final one so uh
let's roll again let's see where we end up try that 1.5 that one's usually nice in japan
that's pretty nice yeah that one's actually safe i want this to win so badly okay
yeah that's a cheat code by the way a little flaw in the design if you click that one
you want to go again or do you want to bank it you want to go again you want to bank it
i think we'll run one more or one point okay i like it the 1.4
bot farm a new chain here we go this is for a 2x overall yeah here we go. This is for a 2x overall. Here we go.
You want to go again?
Go again and go for 4.20.
Yeah, what's a thousand times 4.2?
I think we'll go with 1.2, take the minimum risk and maximum.
Okay. Farm hyperliquid.
Let's see what this ends up this can't lose oh my god
yeah the video is lagging wow i like this you won so do you want to continue or do you want to
cash it out at the moment you just made a grand just over a grand right with from there
should have i think we could cash it if you fly enough.
OK, you got to cash it.
1260.
And then you have one more spin after this.
So you just cashed this.
Let's go again.
What do you want to do today?
What do you want to do now?
Do you want to go risky? You do you want to do now? Do you want to go risky?
Do you want to go with the 4.2?
4.2 seems too risky, but we could.
But then go 2.
Okay.
Use an NFT swap.
This feels like a rug to me.
That sounds like a wood.
Not like this.
No, all NFT is gone. Okay. Well, you a word. Not like this. No, all of T's gone.
Okay, well you walk away with T.
Well done.
Good run there, good run that Maxi.
Sam, do you want to play a different game?
You want to do lamb chop for the next game?
Yeah, show lamb chop.
Let's do lamb chop.
Let's go back to lamb chop.
Let's play some lamb chop.
We have to have the music for lamb chop which i think is is good
okay and what do you want to play easy part or medium what do we think here guys
probably easy yeah right so 500 on easy uh sam are you with us i think he said his audio glitch so if he's not one of the stars
you want to drive sam ben drive first go go until i say stop we're going to throw them. You're not going. Stop. Stop.
Mike, you're up.
Okay.
I want to do this on medium.
I want to do this on medium.
Medium.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no. Got to get past that second space here to the barn. Oh
Got a good pass that second space here to the barn Am I running? Yeah, right?
You're good. Actually, oh yeah, we can either bank it for you or we can keep playing. What do we think?
I think we should bank it because it's always nice
Well, it's your call but like it's better. I think it's better to let them always walk away with some surprise
but like it's better I think it's better to let them always always in price am
says go to each time he said you want to go against Sam what you gonna go again
or you're a back to 500 it's your choice what's he saying I'm looking at
the chat that's where he spoke yeah he's Sam is no longer with us he's no longer with us well he's all right keep playing keep playing
uh you go kbm quick
i mean am i allowed to just keep going i'm like whatever i'll go
