Episode 77: Rory Young is back.

After going viral for betting $100,000 that Rich Alati could survive in a pitch-black bathroom for 30 days, a wave of skeptics called BS. Rumors swirled. Reddit threads accused him of staging it. Some said it never happened. Rory said nothing — until now.

In this follow-up episode, Rory brings the receipts: 5+ terabytes of time-stamped, uncut footage, legal contracts, interviews, and inside access to one of the wildest prop bets in poker history.

This isn’t a story. It’s evidence.
