0:00 [Music] and welcome back everybody to another amazing episode of off the record where we got the careful boys here featuring cat hey thank you cat here i'm not a careful girl i'm a careful boy too yeah she got the biggest dick in the room do you have a huge dick yeah because i feel like that's the only way i can do this and feel no no no you should not feel pressured to feel anything about phantom dicks or anything like if you choose i just feel like this is the only like safe place for me to do enough oh okay cool i feel like this is the only place i can do it you're right you give the wrong impression like people who come here have to pretend they have a penis you fit in better than some other i do you fit in better than some guys that's been here in the past smart swan

0:51 bart swan bert swan bert swan burt swan sounds like a ████ that guy he probably has nosebleeds all the time bart looks more like a bird than a bark that's so insulting to tell somebody you look like a bart dude bursting more like a cat than a cat bert's want only dms married ladies [Laughter] ████ tricky is there a bird swan in the world swan walks out of the bathroom with tp on a shoe this guy's name is burt swan are you serious yeah that guy looks cool he looks cool okay all right burt swans are certifiably cooler than bart quan just wim hof dude speaking of bert swan dude nikki ████ won world series of poker night speaking

1:42 of the sad the fourth fourth place as far as her first tournament she practically won the whole ████ thing yeah dude it was up against five thousand five thousand seven hundred people that's crazy nicki came in four only rookie of the year yeah crazy it's not main event yet so like during the world series it's like a couple month event and it starts um and and you can do all these different satellite games whatever but they're big like there's like high roller tournaments where the entry fee is 100 grand yeah it's crazy very classy you got a buddy who's who's doing that even damn man that's my name nicky because uh aren't you uh aren't you mr nikki how does this tv how does it feel like to do absolutely nothing but then get the uh absolutely all the glory it's incredible you're a hot girl that's what you are yeah exactly yeah i'm a hot ass you're

2:32 true because people congratulate you on behalf of nikki right oh yeah it's been hilarious honestly this watching this all happened has been one of the funniest things i've ever been part of because seeing nikki go from the commerce casino a year ago where she was like nervous because that was like her first time like playing the pros and stuff to like now she just final table world series and came in fourth she had 116 000 jackpot ████ crazy that's so good and yeah like i said she started playing tournaments four months ago because tournaments are so different than playing regular cash games yeah different kind of styles of play how does how does the tournament work it's more aggressive it's like go ahead turn uh tournament you just pay a fee and then you could do re-buys and stuff like that but it's timed and then it's elimination so at the end the pot that everybody pulled together it's kind of concentrated at the top whereas if

3:23 you play a cash game it's unlimited you just keep buying it's just like guys at a poker table and as long as there's people sitting there you can play and it's not like a knockout game yeah so that's the difference yeah i would i would remember i would take her to the commerce and then just like obviously want to be there just because commerce is kind of crazy sometimes especially when you're leaving at night so i would just walk her like like from the car and stuff because the camera's kind of weird um but it's like you're a pimp you kind of feel like it yeah no but it was dude watching her win because she the funniest thing too is that everyone who knows nicki right you think about like tasty tuesday or you think about her on like podcasting like on jk and big mood but you don't think that she's like ████ a poker shark yeah but she has high level working so hard behind the scenes like hours and hours and

4:14 hours and hours like doing poker simulations and all kinds of ████ like she's been non-stop pokering like like every day and i've so i've seen the work that goes into it but you know i understand like for most people like who are watching or like they know her on camera yeah she's like baking making food but in behind the scenes she'll cut your ████ throat seriously yeah yeah it's ████ so funny so you know people who know us but like don't necessarily hang out with us every day like people like timmy d right who's like he's seeing this ████ and like david was just texting me yesterday and he they're like who the ████ is your wife dude because it's like nobody thought this but then i'm the one who's the least surprised because i'm like dude i see this ████ working this ████ oh she's doing it for real though cuz i got deep into it and in a in a matter of a year she went way surpassed what i did like i was doing it very casually i got into it

5:04 a little bit um and then like i was like you know it got kind of ruined because um our poker group got ████ up but in what what nikki was doing he's gonna gloss over that one just yeah so in my quick story in my poker group right we would go together religiously we were grinding it out we were going to all the casinos and card rooms in california we were playing like 48 hour days it was ████ sick and it was fun it was that's casually 48 hours it gets if you when you get into poker you get in oh god just following the story it's like getting into gaming right like you have your like group that you go on and you ████ play call of duty or whatever with and you just go in marathons right and then um so one of my buddies in the group stole money from another buddy

5:55 blew like 80 grand of it whatever it was that's a big detail because he was thinking he was thinking i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna come up really hard and then bring it back into the account and like make everybody happy that's what everybody always thinks right it's the best it's it's the most dj ████ ever and after that it just left a bad taste in all of our mouths and then like it kind of broke up the group so then now it's like you know i don't want to go there by myself and then life changed and jk started really picking up at that time so then like we were doing like four or five different channels and just there was no more time for poker so i really got into it we used to have poker games here we used to have jk poker nights um and none of you guys were part of that it was kind of shame but then a lot of youtubers would come through you know and then we would have different tables and do tournaments that ████ was really ████ fun you guys threw an illegal gambling racketeering basically in the state of california allegedly

6:46 basically admitted here live on jk news yeah more elections someone signed an nda what's up what's the statute on that i don't know because they can't even prove it happened but yeah that was really fun like and then a lot yeah a lot of you youtubers came whatever whatever so then after that i just several years went by and then after i played like it was never the ████ same again and when you play just like your friends it's much different from going to the casinos from the casinos you can do whatever the ████ you want and you don't feel bad but from your friends and then you can't be as aggressive with your friends it's different it's like playing mafia but like you want to play with strangers because you don't know their play everything and you can take their money and not feel bad about it and then i was telling nikki this because she wanted to play poker a lot and i was like nah and then later she was like yeah i know exactly how that feels i'm like yeah right it's better at

7:36 the casino and then um i started giving her some of the books that helped me out and i was like yo she's taking this hella serious and then she got to the point where like she just surpassed my knowledge and understanding of poker and i was like ████ that's dope and i was telling her the other day i was like congratulations we were like super rooting for you in the group chat yeah you're living my like college dreams because me and bart used to watch world series with poker like in our study breaks during college and we just watch and be like man that's so tight we should be on the world series one day and it's like look nikki's gonna go on yeah he was crazy bro how did you even get into poker ████ something that she's uh always dug like like casually though she would like play like house games with people like she played me me and her have a fantasy football league guys i've been in a group with for like 12 years and so we would play there sometimes and like i

8:26 ████ suck at poker i don't understand the game at all uh and that's kind of my favorite thing about it is like if i get an ace i'm like i just ████ won the whole ████ thing yeah yeah okay uh but yeah i don't understand poker all but she she um just started to get really into it during covid like she started to just like really she was just playing like some ████ poker app on her phone like it doesn't even take um doesn't give you real money it's just like for funsies yeah and then yeah after that she was you know she's talking to joe about you know joe's giving her some books to check out so really thanks to joe you know this is all this all happened but no no no you really actually were awesome about that because she was um she was taking it more seriously and you were treating her like she was taking it more seriously whereas like a lot of people were just laughing because she's

9:16 like you know pretty girl who like does youtube stuff so like you know every time she shows up at a poker anything all the people there just think she's a ████ writer off yeah yeah yeah that's definitely so hard because today's video is brought to you by feels cbd isn't about what you feel it's about what you do not feel such as stress anxiety pain discomfort yuck now the way i integrate sp now the way i integrate feels into my lifestyle is i have a nighttime routine and if you have never ever used cbd no worries feels has an awesome little hotline that you can call ahead and be like hey yo check this out i've never done cbd how do i do this and i'll walk you through the process but this is my nighttime routine i get a couple of drips and i go put that in my tongue that's pretty chill for me i do a little bit of

10:07 reading maybe some meditation some stretching and i get off the phone and i get ready to go to sleep and it really helps me just have a nice eight hour knockout session because when i'm ████ around on the phone maybe i'm like reading emails doing whatever my mind is like super super out there and i'm just like full of anxiety and for some reason i'm tossing and turning and before you know it i'm watching three guys in vietnam build huts in the jungle and i can't go to sleep but thanks to fields i have this nighttime routine and it feels really really good and also you can save money on every order and you can pause or cancel at any time so start feeling better with feels become a member today by going to feels.com off the record and you'll get 50 off your first order with free shipping that's f e a l s dot com slash off the record to

10:59 become a member and get 50 off automatically taking off your first order with free shipping fields.com off the record that's what i love about poker is it's imagine playing mafia and we all ████ love mafia but there's money and gambling involved that's the best ████ part of joe's so hard right now he's ████ hard because like when it comes to just table games meaning like just um games at the casino right there's no way of maneuvering out of your loss the cards are what the cards are so when it comes out like meaning like you play blackjack or you play the casino it's just a statistics game it gets really boring there's no real advantage when it comes to poker you can kind of psychologically ████ with your opponent

11:49 to make them believe that you actually won where they might have won they might have had the cards but if they're also a weak player they you could take their money make them second guess themselves exactly and that's the beauty behind it is because the risk there's like a double risk you're not just playing the cards you're not just playing the odds you're also playing players that's yeah dude that's me i'm like i'm like is that good basically i just want a million dollars all your money is mine everyone folds and i'm like ████ come on everyone all in right now and no matter what any card that comes out even if it's like it's like two four five i'm like i got the aces i don't wanna pay attention to the front of that ████ no no the river the ████ what is it the next guy just immediately puts his ████ car keys down on the table [Laughter] dude but there is so much to the game that there's pots on me

12:39 i thought i didn't know poker before and then now nikki's like she's deep deep and then she the way that she talks about it too it's like when my brothers join the military i don't know if you guys know people who are in the military when they're around each other they're just like talking in code because they're like talking about like semper fi you know yeah purple hearts i'm like honorable yeah yeah yeah yeah morse codes that it's kind of like the tubers right so like crypto talk like crypto talk for other people yeah for sure but it's like tubers right like tubers when i first was coming up on on the tubes i remember going to people's houses and there they just did youtube for a living i was like what the ████ is that i mean like what are you talking about talking about like analytics talking about like yeah yeah and they're all and you could get paid for this stuff dude it's that and

13:29 it's like they're all tuber carnies you know because they're according everyone whips out the cameras and they're all like okay you post this on this day don't you post this until then because i'm going to announce this then it's like you guys know how that is with the tubes but um but with poker we just went to like this guy's house because we're like in these poker circles now and we were just at this guy's house and everyone there just does poker for living everyone there so it was like you know hearing them all talk code and you're just sitting there like it's ████ hilarious yeah i'm like i can't believe this s███'s actually real but it's it's like the same feeling that i had when i was meeting two birds yeah and they're really cool like it's kind of like early tubes like like more tight knit everyone's more supportive and not doing the whole like i hope you ████ lose you know what i mean like like that kind of is what youtube turned into later that's funny for poker though oh yeah yeah yeah i know isn't it because you're actually ████ poker drama yeah and

14:20 well i'm sure it'll get there as there's we'll have its attitude soon but we but we met um some really cool people in the poker community really ████ cool but our neighbor like right next door to us is a poker legend he won the world series poker before and we've just been hanging out with them for a couple months since we moved in and so the fact that like the other night um i was doing my crypto corner and he and nikki makes final table and i call him and i'm like yo bro he's like dude this is ████ crazy he's like this is ████ crazy he's like this shouldn't even be happening he's like this this is crazy he's like i was like we should go down there right he's like yeah we should we should go down there i was like awesome so we both ubered down there and then like i'm surrounded by all these poker guys i'm just some ████ ████ and i barely even know what's going on like i have to like i have to look so like they're going like oh my god okay

15:12 lemo green just shoved shoved and i'm like the ████ is going on guys you know what i mean and then all these guys can just see what's going on and they all go oh and i'm like no i would've did a royal flush oh she had the nuts the whole time and they're all talking this the whole time steve's like she doesn't have any hate like she doesn't have he's gonna lose dude it's the best is the most confusing but funniest thing you're like a professional athlete's wife at this point that's it dude i'm just standing there i'm like go baby go i'm like what happened to usually know what the athlete's doing though i was like jessica simpson when she's dating tony romo yeah i'm like oh my god and they're like jessica the game is this way and she's like oh he's more like the mistress then not the wife because the wife is too involved that's true he's the mystery mistress

16:03 he's the mystery you're a poker mistress he's a poker honey dude it's hilarious though and all these guys i mean thank god you know when i was there all the guys there also do crypto or i would have had nothing to talk about oh and sports but yeah damn vegas is like your disneyland it's amazing dude vegas is hilarious dude you know what i love though is that y'all transitioned from like youtuber youtuber to now being two different degens crypto dj and poker dj it's amazing it's beautiful follow the money dude that's it it's got to follow follow money all the way down follow the money all the way like to do poker like man vegas is there's so many ████ cars it sounds like she's doing it full time too right she pretty much has been yeah how many hours a week do you think she's like actually playing games over 40. we went to go eat dinner just play and then she used to love crabs right so we we used to go to the

16:54 honeymoon no right after dinner she immediately just went to the poker room and we're like oh ████ she's really into this ████ she's gotta go to work do you guys even play craps anymore we did with you know with ray a couple times but like not as hard as yeah yeah not really so to get understand the scale of how good nicki is right obviously she's really good for ████ what she did this past weekend right yeah when she goes and plays regular places does she just obliterate and just take everyone's ████ what just depends because there's a lot of variants in poker too so it just it just i mean she's yeah man like honestly because she has this little thing where she puts in what she's done so since she started playing poker her roi is like ████ absurd especially this past week because of that win like her her like her percentage is ████ bananas right um but yeah um she usually i mean yeah i mean she's

17:44 only been in i think a dozen tournaments she's final table like six of them already like she's she's a ████ banana that her notoriety is up is she gonna start being like banned from casinos are they gonna be like hey as soon as you guys walk in are you going to see the guy like and then they're going to go thank you uh greens but uh that only happens to blackjack they're just like oh uh mr nikki limo green is over here so she must be around that doesn't happen to poker the casino doesn't care how much you win from poker because they make money regardless they make money because from the rape so like players like if we're all playing poker right we all put money in against each other it's our own money and in every single pot the casino takes a percentage from that so regardless if we win or lose they don't

18:35 care because they keep raking the money um they don't like it when you make too much money off of them so like when you're playing the table games the slots or whatever and then like especially blackjack that's why like dana white can't even play the casino yeah it's because when you count cards or whatever it's not illegal but um you just know when it's favorable for you so you can you can place big ████ bets and if you are good at controlling your bankroll meaning like let's say you can money manage yourself when you're up you go all right i'm done for today and you walk away like eventually the casinos are gonna take you but if you could do that well right then you're like up a couple million dollars the margins actually at casinos are pretty um not low but a couple of whales can wipe them out for that year so then

19:25 that's why it gets really scary because they're like oh ████ this guy just won three million and they're like oh uh we need that back it's like in casino when they make that guy fly back or the delay is playing the japanese yeah you're trying to leave yeah yep and then he ends up broke right yeah that's the game gotta stay on the merry-go-round can't let him off yeah but yeah no um it's it's also funny too because she she is such a humble person like going into the world series she's just telling me she's like i just want to be there i just want to play there because she's like been reading about it all year like excited about all year so i'll just can't wait to be around it and like in it and get she got merch day one and ████ yeah and then now she's ████ getting sponsored by these poker companies so ████ cool it's so so dope it's hilarious you sent that i thought it was i thought when you first sent in the group chat i thought it was

20:15 like right ████ ████ good fake ryan i was catching up you thought i was making a joke article yeah yeah because it was like because obviously it's your wheelhouse you know so i was like scrolling through and i was like is this real and i had to go all the way up the text messages to realize punchline i don't know i don't know for context ryan makes fake articles and sends them to our group chat all the ████ he's a faker he's a big time faker he's a deep faker of articles yeah that's a very that's the joke oh she wanted she won all this money wow that's hilarious i didn't know the context until i read the whole conversation somebody made money this year i just got a friend babylon b's gonna hire me for that one [Music]
