The vlog admits that it evokes memories of thee 2009 reality TV show “2 Months, $2 Million” in which poker pros Dani “Ansky” Stern, Jay “KRANTZ” Rosenkrantz, Brian “flawless_victory” Roberts, and Emil “whitelime” Patel tried to win $2 million in two months playing poker. They ended up winning $676,700.
Debuting this weekend, 1 Year 1 Million will release new episodes every Wednesday and Friday throughout 2018.
