Episode: EP 273 - “Live From Las Vegas: The Guys See A Hooker & F1”
Date: December 2, 2025
Location: Live at the Chelsea Theatre, Las Vegas

Episode Overview

The guys are live in Las Vegas—rowdy, unfiltered, and in full Vegas mode. From wild childhood Vegas memories and the spectacle of F1 weekend, to hookers, strip club culture, cringe gym stories, and potty humor, the Workaholics crew answer live audience questions, roast each other, and riff on all things both Sin City and “important.” Through it all, their signature bro chemistry and relentless banter keep the energy high and the laughs coming.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Sin City Revelations

Growing Up Vegas-Style: Adam shares his childhood Vegas trips, collecting “naked lady” trading cards (07:00), with the group riffing on how much harder it was to find "porno" in the pre-internet era.
- Quote (@07:12, Adam): "I went to the lobby and then sprinted to the street and collected every card I could find… then dead sprinted back to the Circus Circus."
Vegas Then vs. Now: The guys reflect on how, in their youth, the riskiest thing in Vegas was "overdrawing your account." Now, as adults, “the stakes are really high—like, we could really fuck our lives up out here, dude.” (13:42-14:02, Blake)
Thunder from Down Under & Back Injuries: They joke about Adam straining his back during a commercial shoot with Marshawn Lynch and being outdone backstage by the “Thunder from Down Under”—the famous male revue (05:00-05:53).

F1, Accents, and Vegas Strangeness

F1 Mania in Vegas: The crew pokes fun at the Formula 1 crowd (09:22), cultural clashes, and international accents—from elegant to “French trailer park.”
- Quote (@10:01, Adam): "It just goes to show, there's white trash everywhere. We're all out here.”
F1/Hooker T-Shirt Bit: Blake pitches a racy merch idea riffing on F1 and sex work:
- Front: “If I see a prostitute, I’m gonna F1.”
- Back: “If there’s a couple, I’ll F2 at once.”
  (11:05-12:11)
- Quote (@11:05, Blake): "If I see a prostitute, I'm gonna F1. And then if I see a couple, I'm gonna F2 at once."

Vegas Animal Attractions & Old School Shows

Sad MGM Lions & Shows: Anders recounts a disturbing memory of a woman feeding raw hamburger to MGM lions and jokes about the demise of the sad animal shows (14:52).
Shoutouts to Dads in the Audience: Blake and Adam give props to their dads—lightheartedly addressing parental embarrassment at the event’s raunchy humor (16:15-16:51).
Magicians & Blue Man Group: Fond (and awkward) recollections of seeing David Copperfield and Blue Man Group in Vegas—pivots into jokes about silent actors and porno cameos by "Waymond," a local legend, and the strangely respectable art of being “in a porno” but doing nothing sexual (17:21-20:48).

Banter, Brands, and Running Gags

"Feeling Good" Bit: A running joke is the Michael Bublé song “Feeling Good,” with the crew randomly breaking into it throughout the show to punctuate moments of absurdity or triumph (@24:55, 25:12, 31:52, 45:25, 77:11).
- Quote (@24:55): "And I’m… feel…" (crowd sings along)
Spelling Bee Debacle: A group struggle to spell "predominantly" devolves into self-roasting and audience participation (@31:28-34:14).

Gen-Z, Fighting, and Murder Law

Modern Gym Culture: Adam recounts an interaction with a gym-savvy teenager who calls out his behavior, leading to a discussion about imagined altercations and whether you get more trouble for fighting (or murdering!) a minor compared to an adult (@36:00-38:30).
- Quote (@37:48, Adam): "For the next 30 minutes, I was working out, just thinking about the legality of me murdering this 16 year old."
Parents & Gamer Kids: Blake laughs about steering his own kids toward eSports rather than sports, with the group debating if it’s harder to go pro in gaming or athletics (40:34-43:01).

Audience Q&A Highlights

Workaholics Movie Elevator Pitch: Audience asks about the canceled Paramount+ project—painful for the group; Adam blames the studio for "killing Waymond" (@56:33-57:20).
Parenthood & Humor Changes: Does fatherhood change your sense of humor? Not really, says the crew. “Didn’t you just hear us talking about jerking off and 16 year olds for fifteen minutes?” (@57:40-58:04)
Favorite Places to Masturbate: Classic TII: In the bathroom (Adam), alone in a hotel (Blake), airplane is suggested (@58:35-59:18).
Running Gags on Merch: Reiterates the "F1 Hooker" shirt bit, adds “Daddy’s gonna crank it” for the back graphic (59:54-60:17).
Secrets and Gatekeeping: Blake is accused of being a "gatekeeper" about his pets, deep, dark secrets, and being a “furry Juggalo… but predominantly Juggalo” (@61:25-62:05).
Boners in Public: Adam jokes wind can give him a boner, Anders gets one when the plane lands, the others less sure (@62:19-63:17).
If Your Mom Was in a Porno, What’s the Title? “Penny’s D” for the dental hygienist; “Raw Realtor” (for Anders’ mom). Riffs devolve into pornographic tropes. (@65:21-66:44).
Who’s Best at F1 Racing? Not Blake. Adam says he’d win because he’s “more willing to die” (@67:02-68:01).
Celebrity Hall Pass: Rihanna is a popular choice, with self-deprecating jokes about never having a chance (@68:08-68:59).

Las Vegas Vibes & Takebacks

Biggest “Male Perspective” Quality in a Wife: Jokes about “titties, ass, blowjob skill” before Adam gets earnest about his wife Chloe’s loving, fun disposition. Chloe comes up on stage, decked out in a chunky sweater but “not shaking her butt cheeks for anybody” (@80:17-82:36).
Classic Workaholics Story: G Money, the neighbor who got their stolen car subwoofer back, makes for a beloved callback (@70:02-73:43).
- Quote (@70:53, Adam, recounting G Money): "Man, that sucks. I'll see y'all on Broadway."
Living Together Again? A hypothetical “yes”—maybe for the next show or reality series (@73:50-74:01).
