  Sean McAllister: Like that is just such an incredible uh feat of aviation that those uh pilots pull off.
• 1:39
  Sean McAllister: So yeah, went out to uh Hoover Dam bright and early, and the Thunderbirds did a flyover of Hoover Dam because that massive American flag is draped down the uh face of the dam.
• 1:52
  Sean McAllister: So it was a nice patriotic moment uh during in the lead up to Fourth of July, celebrating America's 250th anniversary.

  Sean McAllister: And then straight from Hoover Dam, the Thunderbirds were flying directly to Washington, D.C., where they're taking part in festivities there in the nation's capital.
• 2:11
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 2:12
  Dayna Roselli: And you were saying they're fueling midway in the air?
• 2:14
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I heard that they are not stopping on the ground to refuel, that they're refueling mid-air to make it the most efficient flight possible.
• 2:22
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, good.
• 2:23
  Dayna Roselli: Well, and they did flyovers all around the valley.
• 2:26
  Dayna Roselli: What night was that Saturday night, too?
• 2:28
  Dayna Roselli: Saturday night.
• 2:28
  Dayna Roselli: People were just loving it, you know, over the strip and uh even out in Summerlin and um it was great for everyone to be able to see how spectacular it is.
• 2:39
  Sean McAllister: You know, I was talking with uh one of the Thunderbird crew members, uh Peyton Purcell, he's the uh technical sergeant who was on the ground with us at this viewing area to watch the flyover, and I talked to him afterwards, and I said, you know, you're on the ground.
• 2:55
  Sean McAllister: You get to see and hear the reactions from people who are seeing this incredible thing.
• 3:03
  Sean McAllister: Are there any that are there any reactions that stand out to you?
• 3:06
  Sean McAllister: And he said, actually, while the Thunderbirds were doing the the flyover all over Las Vegas, out at the uh Las Vegas ballpark in downtown Summerlin, there was a baseball game going on, and uh the bleachers, the stands were packed with with fans.
• 3:23
  Sean McAllister: And he said, as the Thunderbirds were approaching, you could see their smoke trail as they were getting near the stadium.
• 3:29
  Sean McAllister: He said the entire place just started chanting USA.
• 3:34
  Sean McAllister: That's cool.
• 3:35
  Sean McAllister: USA and he said it gave him instant goosebumps and was the most patriotic feeling that he's ever had.
• 3:43
  Dayna Roselli: I love that.
• 3:44
  Dayna Roselli: I'm surprised we haven't seen a video of that.
• 3:46
  Dayna Roselli: Anyone showing it.
• 3:47
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, that sounds great.
• 3:49
  Dayna Roselli: We got to get that for the TV show, right?

  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that's really cool.
• 3:52
  Dayna Roselli: And I love that he shared that.
• 3:54
  Dayna Roselli: See, he sometimes it's like easy for someone to think of a quick answer because when something really just happened and moved them.
• 4:00
  Dayna Roselli: So love that.
• 4:01
  Dayna Roselli: Um, yeah, people don't sometimes realize that, you know, Nellis Air Force Base, it's the best of the best up there.
• 4:06
  Dayna Roselli: It's like the top gun.
• 4:08
  Dayna Roselli: So, I mean, it's an honor to have them in the Las Vegas Valley, and we get to see them practicing some times and stuff like that and have the flyovers.
• 4:17
  Sean McAllister: You know, another thing I learned is that they are on the road for like 240 something days a year.
• 4:25
  Sean McAllister: Their flight season goes from January to the end of November.
• 4:30
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 4:30
  Sean McAllister: They only get December off.
• 4:32
  Dayna Roselli: Wow.
• 4:33
  Sean McAllister: And they're busy going to air shows, doing uh, you know, military events, all that kind of stuff um throughout the entire rest of the year.
• 4:41
  Dayna Roselli: They're great.
• 4:42
  Dayna Roselli: I'm glad we've been able to see a lot of that around town.
• 4:45
  Dayna Roselli: Listen, we've had so many fireworks displays lately.
• 4:48
  Dayna Roselli: We have one, uh, well, not one more.
• 4:50
  Dayna Roselli: We have another, a big one coming up on the 4th of July.
• 4:53
  Dayna Roselli: Nine hotels will participate in this one.
• 4:55
  Dayna Roselli: So we hope you get to see it.
• 4:56
  Dayna Roselli: It's always spectacular.
• 4:58
  Dayna Roselli: That's kind of the same as New Year's Eve.
• 5:00
  Dayna Roselli: And then there the fireworks on Saturdays will continue through until the end of July.
• 5:05
  Dayna Roselli: Um, also gonna be hitting up.
• 5:07
  Dayna Roselli: Well, this actually would land the day after I already go, to uh Palace Station because Station Casinos is doing their 50th anniversary.
• 5:15
  Dayna Roselli: There's fireworks, a drone show.
• 5:17
  Dayna Roselli: So we are fireworks everywhere, America.
• 5:20
  Sean McAllister: Man, we are lighting up the sky here in Las Vegas more than we normally do.
• 5:24
  Dayna Roselli: Well, you know what's lighting up the road, Sean?
• 5:26
  Dayna Roselli: Everyone's talking about this this new, well, I guess you'd call it fast foodish restaurant called the Hat.
• 5:32
  Dayna Roselli: We talked about it before.
• 5:33
  Dayna Roselli: Came in.
• 5:34
  Dayna Roselli: We have one now.
• 5:35
  Dayna Roselli: It's from California.
• 5:36
  Dayna Roselli: It's pastrami sandwiches and pastrami involved in things, like I think on top of fries.
• 5:43
  Sean McAllister: Fries and the yeah.
• 5:44
  Dayna Roselli: But um, just quickly wanted to mention I was at the dentist and they were like, Have you been to the hat yet?
• 5:48
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like, no, why?
• 5:48
  Dayna Roselli: And it's like, oh, well, the lines like every day, they're so long, I'm waiting for it to calm down.
• 5:53
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like, wait, still?
• 5:54
  Dayna Roselli: Because it opened like I think a couple months ago.
• 5:56
  Dayna Roselli: And she's like, oh yeah, it's like there's constant lines.
• 6:00
  Dayna Roselli: So I was like, okay, well, probably not all the time, but okay, you know, maybe at the busy times.
• 6:04
  Dayna Roselli: But anyway, I drove by on like a Sunday afternoon at like what was four o'clock.
• 6:08
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, what's this commotion in a parking lot?
• 6:11
  Dayna Roselli: And then I realized it was the hat.
• 6:13
  Dayna Roselli: There were cars wrapped around the parking lot down the side street.
• 6:18
  Dayna Roselli: There's yellow ropes up.
• 6:20
  Dayna Roselli: There was a line for the hat drive-thru.
• 6:22
  Sean McAllister: Oh my god.
• 6:23
  Dayna Roselli: That I've never seen so long.
• 6:25
  Dayna Roselli: So apparently it's a thing, and we're gonna have to go check it out.
• 6:30
  Dayna Roselli: However, I was thinking that probably proves we have a lot, you know, how many Californians we have in Las Vegas living here that must be happy the hat is here.
• 6:39
  Dayna Roselli: Word of mouth, you know, you gotta try the hat, and it's just a steady flow of people.
• 6:44
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, because the hat came to us via Southern California.
• 6:48
  Sean McAllister: So, yeah, a lot of those people, and you know what?
• 6:51
  Sean McAllister: A lot of East Coasters love a pastrami sandwich too.
• 6:54
  Sean McAllister: And we have a lot of East Coast transplants as well.
• 6:57
  Dayna Roselli: True, true.
• 6:58
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it looks good, so we've got to go there sometime when the line is shorter.
• 7:02
  Sean McAllister: I'm one of those pastrami lovers.
• 7:04
  Dayna Roselli: I like pastrami, I think it's good too, right?
• 7:06
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean, it's great.
• 7:09
  Dayna Roselli: Especially add some cheese and pour it on fries.
• 7:14
  Sean McAllister: That's exciting though.
• 7:15
  Sean McAllister: I'm glad that the uh it's uh the first location in Las Vegas.
• 7:18
  Sean McAllister: Glad to see that people are taking to it and doing crazy business.
• 7:23
  Dayna Roselli: So any of our California listeners or anyone that's been to the hat, uh tell us, is it worth the hype?
• 7:29
  Dayna Roselli: Send us some fan mail.
• 7:30
  Dayna Roselli: We've got a link in our show notes.
• 7:32
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, you can always hit that and text us.
• 7:34
  Dayna Roselli: We don't get your number or where you're from.
• 7:36
  Dayna Roselli: You can say who you are and where you're from, but we only get the last four digits, I think.
• 7:40
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so let us know.
• 7:41
  Dayna Roselli: We love to hear from you.
• 7:42
  Dayna Roselli: Speaking of, recently we had a viewer write us, you know, sometimes we get like quick questions, like where and then I respond and I don't hear back, which is okay.
• 7:51
  Dayna Roselli: But uh, someone was writing to us saying, like, what can I do for 35 bucks on the 4th of July or whatever.
• 7:56
  Dayna Roselli: And I sat there going, what?
• 7:57
  Dayna Roselli: And then I was thinking about the Brooklyn Bridge thing we talked about in the hot dog eating contest.
• 8:01
  Dayna Roselli: That's happening, and then you could stay on the bridge and watch the fireworks.
• 8:05
  Sean McAllister: Um and those hot dogs at Brooklyn Bridge were like$2.50, right?
• 8:08
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, for the Oh,$2.50.
• 8:10
  Sean McAllister: American$250.
• 8:11
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 8:12
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so I don't know, there's a lot of different things happening, and like even like the I think um like the Fountain Blue is having like a viewing party for the fireworks.
• 8:21
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I know if you stay there, it's free.
• 8:23
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but I don't think it was very much to get up on the you know the deck to or the pool deck to see it either.
• 8:30
  Dayna Roselli: So like there are places you can like go in and you know just pay pay a fee to you know see the fireworks.
• 8:37
  Dayna Roselli: So check out all the hotel websites.
• 8:40
  Dayna Roselli: There's plenty of things to do.
• 8:41
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 8:42
  Sean McAllister: And I mean you can probably squeeze a lot out of 35 bucks and turn it into an entire evening.
• 8:51
  Dayna Roselli: By the way, big shout out to Wiener Schnitzel who sent me a media kit because you said hot dog.
• 8:57
  Dayna Roselli: They sent me a great media kit to celebrate America's 250.
• 9:02
  Sean McAllister: I'm laughing because I know where this is going.
• 9:04
  Dayna Roselli: Well, they sent me a hat that said I love American wieners, and I just thought it was funny.
• 9:08
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and in fact, you know, I'm gonna be honest, I just got my eyebrows trimmed today.
• 9:14
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and my wonderful friend and the girl who's been doing my eyebrows forever, Christine, it was her birthday, and I knew she'd get a kick out of the hat, so I gave it to her.
• 9:22
  Dayna Roselli: And she's so excited.
• 9:24
  Dayna Roselli: But I kept a few of the things too that I loved, and I know we're gonna uh we have a we got a hot dog.
• 9:31
  Dayna Roselli: So thank you, Wiener Schnitzel.
• 9:33
  Dayna Roselli: Um, they're doing you know lots of different promos for you know, hot dog.
• 9:36
  Dayna Roselli: What's more Americana than a hot dog?
• 9:38
  Sean McAllister: I mean, only apple pie, but you don't get that at Wiener Schnitzel.
• 9:42
  Sean McAllister: It works well.
• 9:44
  unknown: True.
• 9:44
  Sean McAllister: You know what else is really American?
• 9:46
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and it was sporting red, white, and blue on the famous jumpsuit.
• 9:50
  Sean McAllister: Evil Knievel, the famous Daredevil.
• 9:54
  Sean McAllister: Uh, a new museum and interactive experience dedicated to Evil Knievel just opened on First Street in downtown Las Vegas.
• 10:03
  Sean McAllister: This is in the arts district area.
• 10:05
  Sean McAllister: And man, we talk about there were people uh showing up at at the hat and the drive-thru, and the turnout for the opening of this Evil Knievel museum was remarkable too.
• 10:19
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, that place was packed.
• 10:20
  Dayna Roselli: It was, and this wasn't even like the opening opening, it was like invites, you know, like a preview.
• 10:25
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 10:26
  Sean McAllister: Like a ribbon cutting kind of deal.
• 10:27
  Dayna Roselli: Then they had a party on a Friday night, then they had like a big opening for the public on the Saturday, and um, we've had two social media posts go viral, one on TikTok and one on uh Instagram.
• 10:39
  Dayna Roselli: And people are just loving this interview we did with uh Evil Knievel's son, Kelly Knievel, who was there.
• 10:46
  Dayna Roselli: We found it very interesting too.
• 10:48
  Dayna Roselli: It was a lot of fun to talk to him and just get his take on, you know, how long this took to, you know, was this always in the thoughts of of of having this, you know, um, this place, you know, to celebrate his dad and stuff.
• 11:03
  Dayna Roselli: And he said, yes, for sure.
• 11:05
  Dayna Roselli: And they were so emotional and so gracious that day.
• 11:08
  Dayna Roselli: So let's play that interview.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_00: When we plan this uh experience, you know, we just didn't want a static museum going on.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_00: We want something that people can come, they can understand how this man got to be the most famous guy in the world in the 70s, and we we hope we've captured a lot of that here, and uh why it's inspired so many extreme sports people and and why it inspired how the half the country was on the edge of their seats in the 70s, and we hope we've captured a lot of that here.
• 11:42
  Dayna Roselli: Well, that's the thing, it's like things that are entertaining, experiences, things that we get to watch, live events, all that kind of stuff.
• 11:47
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, it is important.
• 11:50
  Dayna Roselli: That's what we as people look forward to, right?
• 11:53
  Dayna Roselli: That's what entertains us, that's what moves us.
• 11:55
  Dayna Roselli: Why would we be here?
• 11:56
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, and he was a big part of that.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_00: Well, my dad used to say, you know, we got to give people something to talk about at the water cooler tomorrow.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_02: You sure did.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_00: That's part of who he was.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_00: You know, one of my friends told me um one of my high school friends was on his uh mountain bike and he went over the handlebars and he broke his hip.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_00: And he told me, he goes, Kelly, I couldn't move a quarter of an inch.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_00: It was the most excruciating pain.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_00: He goes, All I could think about was how tough your dad must have been.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_00: Seriously.
• 12:30
  Dayna Roselli: What was it like for you growing up around it?
• 12:33
  Dayna Roselli: Did it seem normal?
• 12:34
  Dayna Roselli: Because to anyone else that would talk to you right now would be like that couldn't have been normal, but maybe to you it was.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_00: I've I've been asked that question so many times.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_00: So, yes, it's normal because that's what I knew when we were growing up.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_00: And it's not like today, it's not like we grew up in Hollywood or uh with social media or anything.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_00: My dad was a very down-to-earth man.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, he he he was he had a very, very big personality.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, he knew who he was and what he was about at the exact same time he was, but he he wasn't any different at the breakfast table than he was when he was outperforming.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_00: He was the same guy.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_00: There was no act about him.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: That's why it was so real and why everyone believed in it so much.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_00: Why he believed in himself and and it wasn't fake, and that's why everybody else believed it too.
• 13:19
  Dayna Roselli: Do you think he would have wanted this?
• 13:20
  Dayna Roselli: What would he, if he was here, what would he say when the doors open?
• 13:25
  Dayna Roselli: Is this something that you think that he dreamed of or would have never thought there would be an experience specifically about him in Las Vegas?
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_00: Um I'd say for 30 years, my dad always wanted to open something like this.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_00: I remember going to meetings with my dad 20 years ago with people.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_00: Uh how how his legacy has still carried on all these years.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, and we're able to open this experience to such great notoriety.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_00: Um, you know, my dad used to tell me he'd say, Kelly, I'm gonna be worth more dead than alive, and if you can't make any money off it, you don't deserve any.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_02: I love that.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_00: Good for you.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_00: You've done him proud.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_00: He's a very practical man.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_00: So he gets it.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so there's no messing around with evil canavers.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_00: So, you know, we gotta sell tickets, but I think it's a place people are gonna come to, they're gonna like it, they're gonna tell their friends because it's first class, over the top.
• 14:33
  Dayna Roselli: Well, congratulations to you, your family, all your partners.

• 23:10
  Dayna Roselli: And this was the Silver State Women's Award.
• 23:13
  Dayna Roselli: So they were honoring uh women that are making a difference, lots of different categories, but she was um, and and that was, you know, people that were being nominated and voted on, but she was actually just given and honored as an entertainment icon.

  Dayna Roselli: Um, love that.

  Sean McAllister: And so when she got up to do her speech, she was looking right at Debbie and she was like, I cannot believe that I am in a room here accepting this award and having Debbie Gibson right in front of me.
• 24:03
  Dayna Roselli: I know, and that's great.
• 24:05
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, Debbie does love that.
• 24:07
  Dayna Roselli: I don't mean she loves being admired, I mean that I know she is a busy person, and when she does show up to things, she loves that it could possibly bring joy to someone.
• 24:20
  Dayna Roselli: That's why she does what she does, that's why she creates, makes music, writes songs, sings, performs, and it's fun for her.
• 24:26

  Sean McAllister: The pastry that has like a cream in it.
• 31:33
  Sean McAllister: Oh my gosh.
• 31:34
  Dayna Roselli: So good.
• 31:35
  Sean McAllister: Those are so delicious.

  Dayna Roselli: We've been taken a cake decorating class with Buddy before.
• 31:41
  Dayna Roselli: It was a lot of fun.
• 31:42
  Dayna Roselli: I'm sure you've heard us talk about that, but it's an art.
• 31:45
  Dayna Roselli: These pastries, the decorating, all of it.
• 31:47
  Sean McAllister: So one of my recent birthdays, uh, I got a a spread of uh, you know, Italian cookies and pastries from Carlos, and every single thing was like perfection.
• 32:01
  Sean McAllister: So perfection, especially like the cannoli cream, like real cannoli cream.
• 32:07
  Dayna Roselli: That's so good.
• 32:08
  Dayna Roselli: That's why I mean it's hard to find, too.
• 32:11
  Dayna Roselli: You have to even, I mean, we're from Rochester, New York, and it's like Savoya's Bakery is the one place where you can get the real true cannoli.
• 32:17
  Dayna Roselli: There might be other places, but I mean, I still call there for special occasions to have them deliver um to people in Rochester.
• 32:25
  Dayna Roselli: They're wonderful.
• 32:26
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, you gotta find the right cannoli.
• 32:28
  Dayna Roselli: So, and he does it right.
• 32:30
  Dayna Roselli: And apparently the restaurant has a speakeasy now, too, that he just opened.
• 32:33
  Dayna Roselli: I think it was actually a thought or created by his wife.
• 32:37
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know.
• 32:37
  Dayna Roselli: We'll have to deep dive into that another time.
• 32:39
  Dayna Roselli: But if you go to Buddy V's restaurant, it's got a speakeasy now, too, you might want to check out.
• 32:42
  Sean McAllister: Which is right across the hall from Carlos Bakery over at the Venetian.
• 32:46
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 32:46
  Dayna Roselli: The Venetian is so nice when we were in there.
• 32:48
  Dayna Roselli: I was like, yeah, it has so much going on.
• 32:50
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so many great places here in Las Vegas.
• 32:53
  Dayna Roselli: Visitation is up May to May, so that's great.
• 32:55
  Dayna Roselli: May numbers just came out as we were about to record the podcast.
• 32:59
  Dayna Roselli: Looks like it's up like two percent compared to last May.
• 33:02
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, wonderful news.
• 33:03
  Dayna Roselli: I think hotel occupancy was up.
• 33:05
  Dayna Roselli: They're saying, you know, we've had a lot of events in uh May with the EDC and also BTS was in town for shows.
• 33:11
  Dayna Roselli: So that can contribute, but hey, we'll take an increase.
• 33:14
  Sean McAllister: And a lot of that, uh a lot of the the tourism was drive-in uh tourists, people who live in the surrounding area, Arizona, Southern California, Utah, uh, who drove into town uh for a little Vegas vakey.
• 33:29
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean, we got all those all-inclusive deals and different things going on.
• 33:32
  Sean McAllister: Which are still happening, by the way.
• 33:34
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, still happening all summer.
• 33:36
  Dayna Roselli: And sometimes hopping on the road can save you some money.
• 33:39
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, gas prices were pretty high, but they've come down a little bit.
• 33:42
  Dayna Roselli: So hopefully we'll continue on that trend.
• 33:44
  Dayna Roselli: We'll see.
• 33:45
  Dayna Roselli: All right.
• 33:46
  Dayna Roselli: Well, we are gonna have a great 4th of July.

  Dayna Roselli: I'm excited uh to go see mom and my friends there and celebrate 4th of July in the low 80s.
• 33:56
  Sean McAllister: Oh, that sounds delightful.
• 33:58
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, doesn't it?
• 33:58
  Dayna Roselli: I already am feeling anxious that I'm not gonna want to leave because I love Las Vegas in the summer, but it is a nice break.
• 34:05
  Dayna Roselli: And I just, you know, it is nice to be around some little bit more green and just like a little bit of a slower pace because we're so busy.
• 34:12
  Dayna Roselli: You know, you drive by the corn stands, you know, you see.
• 34:15
  Sean McAllister: All the farmers markets.
• 34:16
