It's around 9:00 p.m. on a sweltering night in Las Vegas,
...and to be honest, I've got something on my mind. When my buddy and I first started this channel, we didn't have a lot going for us. We were living in a weekly hotel, surrounded by scam artists, burnouts, and people battling addiction. It's been a ride getting out of that situation. We worked odd jobs, ran our own business, and tried to make ends meet every single week.
However, now that I have a little bit more breathing room, I've had time to reflect—to think about all of the crazy stuff that happened along the way. And honestly, I feel like sharing it. I'm thinking about starting a new series of content, like a podcast narrated in my own voice, full of these stories.
Stories like the time I was selling timeshares on the Strip. I was eating edibles at my desk and sneaking shots in between sales pitches—just to make it from one paycheck to the next. Or the time my live-in girlfriend left me for her dentist boyfriend. She moved to L.A. in the middle of the night. Or when I worked a food booth at EDC—Electric Daisy Carnival—and my training manager was so high on cheap ecstasy that she couldn’t even relay orders to the kitchen. The lockjaw effect—a brutal side effect of the low-grade pills cut with who-knows-what—had her jaw clenched so tight she could barely get a word out.
After days like that, I needed something—anything—to help me decompress.
Thank goodness for anime like Requiem for a Phantom and Re: Zero, and retrowave artists like The Midnight, Duett, Gunship, and Immortal Girlfriend—they helped take my mind off this chaotic city and gave me a place to mentally escape.
That’s part of why I feel compelled to share these experiences—I want to bring them to you folks and give you a glimpse of what it's like not just to live in Las Vegas, but to grow up here.
So my question is: how would you like to see the behind-the-scenes of how we actually create content? Because the process isn’t what you'd expect—it’s a mix of late nights, hotel parties, journaling in cheap diners, and wandering the Strip until something clicks. I'd love to take you behind the curtain and share that part of the process too—not just my personal stories, but how Neon Beach Club content comes to life.
