Chapter 1: What insights does Mo Gilligan share about prop betting?
The Apple Watch is a prick though, man. You'll be minding your own business. Have you seen this, Alex? Then the Apple Watch says, big man, stand up. Have you seen this? For no reason. The watch, big man, breathe. The watch tells you to breathe, bro. Fuck this watch, man.
yeah, to kind of go through and do it that route felt the most organic for me, but also the most, the most fulfilling because I, you know, again, before any of the success was happening, it's a social media. I'm meeting people in the street who were just like, Oh man, like you were treating me like I'm someone. Yeah. And I'm like, I just do videos in my bedroom. You know what I mean? Yes.
Chapter 2: How does Mo Gilligan feel about cold plunges and their benefits?

And he had those models. Remember the video? He had those beautiful Claudia Schiffer. Wasn't there a beach scene? It was beach. It was lots of boobs with sand and bikinis. And then he was playing his guitar with his weird face. What a wicked thing to say. What a wicked thing to do. What a wicked thing to do. But I liked the song at the time. I was like, okay, all right, I can get down with that.
Chapter 4: How did Mo Gilligan break into television and what challenges did he face?
Yeah, why not? All right. But whatever happened to Chris Isaac? He was like an actor for a while there, wasn't he? Was he? I feel like he did a couple of comedy things even. Yeah, because he's got that funny face that everybody wants to, you know, do. Whatever. Anyway. Uh...

Nasty. Yeah, I want to check that one out. Go to MoGilligan.com I guess is the bottom line to this one. He's on tour very briefly here in the United States and then he's going elsewhere in the world.
Chapter 5: What impact did Mo's Netflix special have on his career?
Because he's doing a world tour.
He's doing a world tour, quote unquote. And I can't wait to get into it with him. And I watched his special last night. I got to say, it's pretty fucking funny. He's on Netflix, too. He's got two different specials on Netflix. So MoGilligan.com, you can get all the information there. Of course, I'll put the information in the show notes also. But I wanted to talk briefly before we get to Mo.
I want to talk briefly about something you and I were discussing before we got on the show, which is the prop bets. Remember, we were having that big conversation about betting a couple of weeks ago. We're having a big conversation about these bets where you can bet on a single player. Like, I think it's gotten to the minutia of, let's take March Madness for an example.
Number 33 is going to score a basket or get a rebound in the next travel down the court.
Chapter 6: How does Mo Gilligan balance his comedy career with personal life changes?
And then you have a certain amount of time to quickly lock in your bet. And that's called a prop bet. You're betting on every little thing that happens in the game. And now the director of the NCAA, I think, has been calling for a ban on it. He's actually been calling on it. $2.7 billion.
That's how much the American Gaming Association estimates will be bet this year on the NCAA's men's and women's basketball tournaments. $2.7 billion.
That's a lot of money.
What are you guys doing with your money? Send us a tenth of that and we will do the commercial break live in your bedroom for the rest of your life. You want to take off a Friday? We'll take off Friday. We'll just sit in your bedroom quietly. We'll help you make your bed is what's going on.
Chapter 7: What does Mo think about performing in different countries and cultures?
And we like to make beds. Yeah, we love to make beds. So if you, not bets, beds. Yeah, we will be making beds while you're making bets. Okay, how's that? There you go.
cleaning service we'll make your bed we'll make your bets yeah we'll make your beds and you make the bets and by bets i mean you're just gonna paypal me every time you want to bet and that's how that's going to work because that's insane 2.7 billion dollars worth of betting going on on the march madness it's it's incomprehensible actually i
So many millions of people must be betting on this tournament. And here's the other thing that is surprising to me. The NCAA survey of more than 3,500 participants found that 58%, almost 60% of 18 to 22-year-olds have placed a bet on at least one sport in the last year. About 67% of college students living on campus placed bets, said the NCAA.
It's so easy.
While 41% of college students have placed bets betting on the same school that they go to. It's so easy. And I'm not against betting.

Chapter 8: How does Mo Gilligan view the importance of small venues in comedy?
We have sponsors for the show that are betting platforms. And so I'm not against it. And I've played around with it. I'm not like a huge gambler. I'll admit that. I'm not a huge gambler because I don't need yet another addiction. I've already kicked a number of them, and I'm hanging on to a few. And I think the more mild ones, cream and cereal and British comedy television.
That's why I'm glad we're having Mo in here today.
You finally got it. I finally did it.
I promised I would bring that British comedy to the United States, and here it is. But this is just like...
But again, I think that if you play in a professional sports league of any kind, any sport, or you are going somewhere like March Madness or you're playing on a collegiate team, you should be able to bet through a specific portal that does not allow you to bet on the sport you play in at all. I mean, because Chrissy and I were talking about this.
Isn't it a little too tempting if you're my best friend?
Yeah. Right. Well, I was saying if I'm playing the game.
Let's say you're playing college volleyball.
That's right.
