    Episode Description

    This week F1 jumped into another lawsuit, but this time it is a bit different. They are cracking down on counterfeit merch from a building you know very well. Should they be doing this and what does the counterfeit merch look like?

    In other #news an iconic Vegas venue is closing soon for up to a year of renovations. Does Foundation Room have the best views in Vegas?
