• 0:35
  Speaker 2: So? Uh, I used to gamble for a living, cars, dice,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: a gamble and sports, anything that would make my poll race.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Uh and I lost everything from my house, my car,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: my wife.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Everything from gambling. Yeah geez okay.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I love Vegas. Uh I came back here
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: in Dallas, and uh I have been totally humbled. I mean,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I work in a kitchen now at this fancy hotel,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I mean the kind of place I would have stayed,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: and now I'm the help.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Really, so you work in the kitchen at a hotel,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: obviously you don't have to say which one, but you
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: work at a kitchen at a hotel now, and like, okay,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: so completely different lifestyle, which is, hey, you gotta do
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: what you gotta do. Nothing wrong with that, but anyway,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I'm.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Doing what I gotta do, which is barely getting by.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: By the way, I rent a room from some weirdo dude.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: He creeps me out, but you know, it's cheap and
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I barely make enough to survive. So my secret here
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: is every night, after everyone leaves, I clean the kitchen.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: The rules say all the leftover food goes in the trash,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: but I can't stand to see it wasted, so I
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: fill two garbage bags, one real trash one mind. I
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: take my back home, eat it up, and eat like
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I used to.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Oh so you okay, so you take a bag full
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: of food home that you're supposed to be thrown away, Yeah, leftover.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: From that night.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, why would you throw it away though they
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: do though some of those big stores, they just chuck it,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: make you throw it away.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: We would care if you took it, though.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know there's policies in some places, because we've
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: had a guy like this call before and he's like,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I hate throwing away all the food, but they make
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: me throw it away, and we make you we can't
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: take it home and all this stuff. So yeah, I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: don't know. It's so. I mean, it's right, it shouldn't
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: be a problem, right, But also it's a pride thing too.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you don't want people to know you're taking
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: a bunch of food home because.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: You Yeah, nobody knows that. I mean, I don't know
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: if it would be getting me in trouble or anything,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: but either way, I don't want anyone knowing for a
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: lot of reasons. You know, the chef just thinks I'm quiet,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: but night guards think I'm tired. I guess nobody guesses
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: that the man willing the trash off back is stealing
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: his dinners from the dumpster.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Jeez. So yeah, well, I don't know if you should
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: be feel shame about it. I've heard of people doing that,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, not this specific thing. But I've heard of
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: people taking things to the dumpster and then leaving it
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: out there and then going back and getting it later on,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: So that that's what you do with your food.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully that's.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Wow. It seems like this should be totally fine. Wouldn't
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: everyone who works in a kitchen want to like take
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the food and use it like they don't? I don't
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: think a lot of people do. As a matter of fact,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: we were just talking about this because my son was like, Dad,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: it was like, this is a few nights ago, over
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the weekend, He's like, Dad, can I go to Dunkin Donuts?
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: And it was like at night and I go, no,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Why he goes because I heard at the end of
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the night they throw away all the donuts and they'll
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: just give them to you. Yeah, And I was like, oh,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true or not. I don't
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: know if they but then it seems like there's a
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: liability if you just give them away. I don't know,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: so I don't listen. Good for you, first of all,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: for getting your life back together. I don't know. Obviously
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: you've stopped gambling. That's a huge pomplishment. You should be
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: very proud of because hey, who cares where you're at now?
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: It's a matter off you're you're still here and you're
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: surviving that that there's something be said about that.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I do appreciate that, you.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Know what I mean? Like I mean, my grandma was
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: a big gambler. I know, I laugh sometimes I laugh
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: about it and I say that, you know, I think
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I'm one step away from being there. But my grandma
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: took her entire life savings and blew it in Vegas.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Left for a month, left, left a family, took everything
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: she had in Vegas and blew her entire life savings
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: in Vegas.
