In this one we talk about a (not so) fun way to lose all your money! Gambling! It can be the best day of your life or the worst. It all depends. Hit or stay? Red or Black? All in or go home?
We specifically talk about the growing phenomenon of online gambling. One Twitch streamer known as TrainwrecksTV is a figurehead in this community and at one point lost 11 million dollars in a single stream while playing online slots.
We also talk about Nicolas Cage. Because if anyone is an example of reaching the pinnacle of success and fortune only to fall hard from paradise, it's him. There's a reason why he's in so many B movies. The IRS came from him in the early 2000's. If you wanna know what he spent his fortune on then listen in.
