Mike discusses his Orlando trip, including an encounter with a pickpocket and several things that made him a Karen. Mike and Jay discuss the results of their "No Eat" challenge, which came right after Jay had a colonoscopy. Southwest has a new pretzel snack that Mike loves, which is "Maui Monk" flavor. Mike has completed a Strip Walking map for Universal Orlando Resort. What would you do if you had to show up in Vegas a day before all your friends with only $20 and no hotel room booked? The guys love professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau's YouTube channel, which features Paige Spiranac, John Daly, and Donald Trump. The episode concludes with a discussion about what they would choose in a "make a wish" situation.

Mike's brother-in-law Adam stops by to talk Vegas and air travel horror stories. Adam is a big proponent of adult diapers for many situations. Mike and Jay agree that there is a lot of untapped potential there. Adam answers the Strip Walking Vegas questionnaire, seeks advice about where to stay on an upcoming Vegas trip, and recounts a back alley situation near the Wynn. The guys discuss walking from the airport to the strip and then get into some stories of bad flying experiences including Adam's brush with the FBI and a turbulent flight back to Omaha.

Mike and Geoff discuss food and gambling on their recent Vegas trip. Food locations include Guy Fieri's Flavortown, Tacos El Gordo, Buddy V's, Sushi Roku, Mon Ami Gabi, Grimaldi's, Earl of Sandwich, (not) White Castle and (not) The Bedford. Favorite dishes highlighted are the short rib eggs Benedict from The Henry and frozen s'mores at Dominique Ansel Bakery. They also talk about their gambling experiences at different casinos, such as Fontainebleau, Downtown Grand, and Venetian. Overall, the gambling doesn't go well, but Mike reveals he made a last minute desperate attempt to break even after Geoff left. And Mike thinks the 360 Vegas podcast went too easy on Geoff.
