Transcript

[A]

The deal was we put 20k on black and 5k and we split the 00. Green didn't hit black, but it hit double zeros. So they made $87,000 for the fraternity. This content really started when Sexyy Red's team connected with my team. We want Nick to do some, like, white boy shit with Sexy. And I was like, what if I took her to a frat party?

[B]

Well, sometimes if you act so much, you start to, like, believe it. You know, a lot of these actors start dating.

[A]

Yeah, you know what? But is that acting or do they just find their natural chemistry?

[B]

All right, guys, we got Nick here. He's at a poker event. Doesn't know about poker.

[A]

Know nothing about poker. They wanted me to play, but never played, so they just put me on the guest list.

[B]

Yeah, but you do know roulette.

[A]

I know a little bit. Yeah. I know a little bit about roulette now. Yeah.

[B]

Just made 5k into 87.

[A]

We got brought out here. We want to do a big give back to our subscribers. We're a lot of college students, and we picked a fraternity. We actually put. So the deal was we put 20k on black and 5k and we split the zero double zero. Green didn't hit black, but it hit double zeros.

[B]

[A]

Yeah, it's amazing.

[B]

That's incredible. Do you gamble a lot?

[A]

No, no, no, no, no. But I do love these Vegas trips. I love doing the bro trips. Coming out here, it's been like a thing where we get someone married every trip. I'm really. I brought my friend Eric out here. I think he's just gonna get married to this trip.

[B]

You're gonna do the 24 hour marriage thing?

[A]

I think so. He met a girl. What was her name? Jasmine.

[B]

He doesn't even know. He blacked out last night.

[A]

Don't. Don't act like you don't know. He comes to me last night. This is the one. I'm marrying this girl. And I was like, you want to get married? And he's like, I think I'm ready.

[B]

He's playing it cool.

[A]

Yeah, he's playing it cool right now. I. I think, you know, I told him, I'm like, if you're really gonna get married in Vegas, I want to know that you're actually into her and have a connection. If we're gonna do a 24 hour marriage, I'll just get anyone married, man.

[B]

You really gotta give it a real shot. Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Have you been married before?

[B]

I'm about to be.

[A]

Dude, you're about to get married.

[B]

A little nervous. Yeah.

[A]

Why are you nervous?

[B]

It's a big deal, right, for a guy.

[A]

It is. It is a big deal. But I think, like, I would never ask someone to get married unless I was like, this is the one I'm taking on life. If I'm asking. I'd be nervous, though. Yeah, I'd be the same way. But I want to know that I want to make.

[B]

Have you asked anyone yet?

[A]

I've never asked anyone. Actually, I did get married once for a video.

[B]

Okay. But that was for content.

[A]

Yeah, it was for content. I did actually really like her, though, at the time. Really? This is an amazing girl. Yeah.

[B]

Okay. Yeah.

[A]

You can't just go marry anyone, even if it's her content.

[B]

Well, sometimes if you act so much, you start to, like, believe it. You know, A lot of these actors start dating.

[A]

Yeah. You know what? But is that. Is that acting, or do they just find their natural chemistry?

[B]

Reverse uno card.

[A]

Yeah, there it is.

[B]

I love it, man. So you're doing a Road to a Millie on YouTube right now.

[A]

Doing a road to Millie. What are we, 870k right now?

[B]

So you'll get there in, like, a month?

[A]

I don't know. It could be. It could be longer, but I think we are averaging, like, 10k subs a week.

[B]

Damn, that's fast.

[A]

Dude. Dude. Yeah. I don't know. Is it.

[B]

Is it 10k a month on YouTube? I feel like people aren't really growing right now.

[A]

It is tough.

[B]

Like, my views are down, you know?

[A]

I mean, how. You've been doing a really long time, right?

[B]

Two years.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

That's not long, I guess, but kind of.

[A]

No, it's kind of. It's a good time.

[B]

Yeah. 850 episodes in two years.

[A]

Oh, my God. That's insane. Yeah. That's crazy.

[B]

Workhorse.

[A]

You're killing it, dude.

[B]

Non stop.

[A]

Non stop.

[B]

I saw your last video. You brought Quavo to a frat party.

[A]

Yeah, we did bring Quavo to a frat party.

[B]

Yeah. That's nuts.

[A]

It was crazy. I didn't know how I was going to he. I think a lot of times, like, you know, people are like, oh, do they want to do it? Do they not? And they get there, and they just have so much fun. And that's what. That's what, like, the. Our frat party series is. It's just about having fun.

[B]

So how do you find the frats?

[A]

You know, in the beginning, you just reach out to find someone at the social chair who's the president or the treasurer or something like that. But now, because we've kind of developed this, all the frats, they hit us up. We have. We have an email, and they know we're on a tour right now, so they're asking us to come to there.

[B]

Oh, that's cool.

[A]

So if we. If there's a school we want to go to, there's probably someone we can just connect with.

[B]

You in a frat yourself when you were in college?

[A]

I wasn't really. I went to college, and, you know, I really wanted to go to a big school and do that. I played D3 lacrosse. Wasn't that great, but it was a great experience. But I actually ended up starting. I worked for Nelk, and when I worked for Nelk, it was just like, I was like a frat guy. Everyone says, like, oh, you're just like one of them. Like, such a frat dude. I learned the culture, and I really understood it. But it all actually. This content really started when Sexy Red's team connected with my team. They're like, we want Nick to do some, like, white boy with Sexy. And I was like, what if I took her to a frat party? And then they were like, that'd be amazing. We took her, and her and I were both nervous at first, but I was. I knew. I know how those parties go. And I was like, it's gonna be fun. And she went in there and just had. I think it just progressively got more fun.

[B]

That is why, dude, Sexy Red at a frat party. Is there any footage of that?

[A]

She was.

[B]

There is.

[A]

There's a whole. The first one ever. It was like, it's probably about. About a year ago.

[B]

Damn. That was the one that made you blow up, that video.

[A]

It started that series to do really well, I think. Know where I. Where I started. Somewhat of popularity. Shout out to Saleem. Yeah. Salim, I think, really dove in when I was on his channel before I ever did mine. He was just like. He's like. He's like, I think I know your superpower. And it was. He said, it's the way you talk to girls, but not nothing. Like, oh, my God, he's amazing. Or smooth. It was like I was this goofball that generally was passionate about talking to whoever I would talk to. And that's why, like, when I married that chick. Yeah. I was like, man, actually. I actually like, holy crap. Maybe. Maybe I'll make the marriage real. Damn.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

I didn't know. You worked for an elk?

[A]

Yeah, I worked for them for three years.

[B]

[B]

Oh, wow.

[A]

[B]

[A]

Honestly, bro, I don't know if I could be doing what I'm doing if I didn't learn everything, like being a part of the editing process, the business process. And I wasn't too much in the business, but just seeing how it all operated. Yeah, was support.

[B]
