The boys are back from Vegas! Did they gamble away all their savings on slots? Did Jeff buy a cool magicians hat? Will this episode be displayed on the “sphere?” Well, the answer to all those questions is… no. However, the guys had a great time and today they’re here to fill you in on their best finds from the convention floor. Also a challenge has been laid out- who will be the first convention to allow consumers in for a day? We cover all of that and more on this FN episode!
