- 0:10SPEAKER_03: I can't believe that's all of those lyrics were Grayson Boss.
- 0:15SPEAKER_03: Like he was in the studio and he just said, Hey Big Head, and hey big head, hey big head.

- 0:19SPEAKER_03: I thought that's pretty cool.
- 0:20SPEAKER_01: It's very cool.
- 0:21SPEAKER_03: Uh welcome back, everybody, to another fun-filled episode of the Hey Big Head show.
- 0:26SPEAKER_03: How you feeling, Julie?
- 0:28SPEAKER_01: I'm a little tired since I walked into the studio.
- 0:30SPEAKER_01: It's freezing in here.
- 0:31SPEAKER_03: A little chilly.
- 0:32SPEAKER_03: A little too chilly for you?
- 0:33SPEAKER_01: A little bit.
- 0:33SPEAKER_03: You can't handle the you can't handle the cold.
- 0:35SPEAKER_03: It's not that bad.
- 0:36SPEAKER_01: No, I've only ever lived warm places.
- 0:38SPEAKER_01: So I'm used to that.
- 0:40SPEAKER_03: Well, thankfully, you're not sick.
- 0:41SPEAKER_03: I'll tell you who is sick, though, is everybody else on the team.
- 0:45SPEAKER_01: I know.
- 0:45SPEAKER_03: And I'm keeping my distance away from everybody because I don't want to get sick.
- 0:50SPEAKER_03: I am the biggest baby when I'm sick.
- 0:53SPEAKER_03: To the point where I've had girlfriends like ex-girlfriends make fun of me for how much of a baby I am.
- 0:58SPEAKER_03: And then I have to man up and actually like you know make my own soup or something.
- 1:02SPEAKER_03: But for the most part, I am a huge baby, and it's everybody will know that when I'm sick.
- 1:07SPEAKER_01: I could 100% see that.
- 1:12SPEAKER_03: I don't know what that's supposed to be, but I'm assuming I'm gonna take that as a compliment somehow.
- 1:16SPEAKER_03: I don't know how, but right.
- 1:17SPEAKER_03: I got a voicemail from Brandon.
- 1:19SPEAKER_03: Uh Brandon was also sick over the week.
- 1:22SPEAKER_03: Uh, and I got a voicemail from him.
- 1:23SPEAKER_03: He left me a message.
- 1:24SPEAKER_03: I have it right here.
- 1:25SPEAKER_03: You want to hear you wanna hear it?
- 1:26SPEAKER_03: I do want to hear it.
- 1:27SPEAKER_03: Cool, hang on.
- 1:33SPEAKER_00: I think I'm getting the black lung bum.
- 1:36SPEAKER_00: That was Brandon.
- 1:37SPEAKER_00: Brandon.
- 1:38SPEAKER_03: It sounded like Brandon was at an event or something like that, Brandon.
- 1:41SPEAKER_03: Brandon, where were you when you sent me that voicemail?
- 1:43SPEAKER_02: Oh, I think I was at like Zook or something, you know?
- 1:46SPEAKER_02: I was getting the whiskey to clear all the phlegm in my throat.
- 1:49SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you you sound sick.
- 1:50SPEAKER_03: Even still, like I heard you coughing earlier today.
- 1:53SPEAKER_03: You you're not contagious, are you?
- 1:55SPEAKER_03: Uh hopefully not.
- 1:56SPEAKER_01: Oh, really good answer.
- 1:58SPEAKER_01: Love.
- 1:59SPEAKER_01: I'm sick.
- 2:01SPEAKER_00: Get the black lung pop.
- 2:05SPEAKER_00: That's awesome.
- 2:06SPEAKER_00: I think I'm getting the black lung pop.
- 2:08SPEAKER_03: That's definitely Brandon.
- 2:09SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
- 2:10SPEAKER_03: Um, but yeah, everybody's sick, and I am.
- 2:13SPEAKER_01: Oh, we're gonna we're gonna keep playing?
- 2:15SPEAKER_01: Okay, let's put that back.
- 2:17SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's just um yeah, everybody's sick, and I want to make sure everybody stays the hell away from me.
- 2:24SPEAKER_03: Six feet, Julie.
- 2:24SPEAKER_03: Six feet.
- 2:25SPEAKER_03: Six feet.
- 2:26SPEAKER_03: Six feet.
- 2:26SPEAKER_03: The topic of conversation this weekend was uh I dung goofed Julie.
- 2:33SPEAKER_03: I I don't dung goof often, but when I do, it's it's pretty bad.
- 2:37SPEAKER_03: So I fucked up pretty bad.
- 2:39SPEAKER_03: What happened this weekend I fucked up pretty bad.
- 2:41SPEAKER_03: So I have a client, a Basilico restaurant here in town.
- 2:44SPEAKER_03: Okay, great Italian spot.
- 2:46SPEAKER_03: I've been their website developer and I've been sending emails out for them ever since they've been open.
- 2:50SPEAKER_03: So for like three, four years, something like that.
- 2:53SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 2:54SPEAKER_03: And this weekend they sent me a promotion that they have coming up every Monday called Monday Clock Out, where it's basically like an extended happy hour, you know, something like that.
- 3:04SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 3:04SPEAKER_03: So it asked me to send out an email to all 10,000 Vegas locals that they have on their email subscription.
- 3:10SPEAKER_03: And I've never made a mistake when it comes to creating these newsletters.
- 3:14SPEAKER_03: I'm pretty detail-oriented.
- 3:16SPEAKER_03: What did you do?
- 3:18SPEAKER_03: In the subject line, it's supposed to be Monday Clock Out, a new promotion, something like that.
- 3:22SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 3:23SPEAKER_03: I forgot the L.
- 3:24SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.
- 3:27SPEAKER_03: The first time I've ever had a typo or just any mistake on any newsletter that I've ever sent out to them, and it just so happened to be Monday clock out on this email blast that I sent.
- 3:40SPEAKER_01: You may not be sick, but you're sick in the head.
- 3:44SPEAKER_03: Maybe it was just something subconsciously like so.
- 3:47SPEAKER_03: What happens is they usually send me what they want the subject line to be and what they want the body content to be.
- 3:52SPEAKER_03: For some reason, they didn't send me the subject line, so I couldn't copy and paste it.
- 3:56SPEAKER_03: But I just maybe I had cocks on the brain, Jim.
- 3:59SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 3:59SPEAKER_01: Cocks on the brain.
- 4:00SPEAKER_03: It was it was bad.
- 4:02SPEAKER_03: Thankfully, oh my god, the managers were like, hey, just let you know you had a major typo, and you know, they laughed about it, but then they started getting comments and stuff, and I was like, Oh, I wish I could see those comments.
- 4:14SPEAKER_03: I'm glad I'm glad you can't, because I don't want to see those comments.
- 4:16SPEAKER_01: I'd blast them on our socials.
- 4:20SPEAKER_03: You're part of the email subscription.
- 4:22SPEAKER_03: Did you get the the newsletter?
- 4:23SPEAKER_01: Let me check really quick.
- 4:25SPEAKER_01: Hopefully Oh my god, I got two.
- 4:27SPEAKER_01: I have Cock Out Monday and Clock Out Monday.
- 4:31SPEAKER_01: Like that you sent it twice.
- 4:33SPEAKER_03: I had to send it just just so people maybe were like, oh, I already got this email.
- 4:37SPEAKER_03: I don't need to see it a second time.
- 4:39SPEAKER_03: But I was hoping that uh they just looked at the clock out, not the other one.
- 4:44SPEAKER_01: Well, their uh demographic on Mondays might be very interesting moving forward.
- 4:50SPEAKER_03: Oddly enough, Brandon's gonna call me and leave me a voicemail from there too.
- 4:53SPEAKER_03: Who knows?
- 4:54SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 4:54SPEAKER_01: You just hear in the background, clock out! Cock out, Brandon.
- 4:59SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.
- 5:01SPEAKER_03: I I um but uh the the good thing, I I went to um this weekend I went to Gaetano's.
- 5:06SPEAKER_01: You're all about the Italian food this weekend, huh?
- 5:08SPEAKER_03: It's it's been a very Italian, fun-filled weekend for sure.
- 5:11SPEAKER_01: Love it.
- 5:12SPEAKER_03: And it's the first time there.
- 5:13SPEAKER_03: And it's one thing to have a guest on, like we had Nick Palmeri on from Gaetano's, and uh, it's one thing to have the guest on to kind of talk about the restaurant and talk about, you know, what their mission is and their goals.
- 5:24SPEAKER_03: But I went and it was awesome.
- 5:27SPEAKER_03: Like I can tell that he goes to these, you know, he goes to the source of you know, the olive oil or the cheese uh over in Italy.
- 5:35SPEAKER_03: He he cares for that attention to the detail.
- 5:38SPEAKER_03: And I think that's why they've I I can see why they've been opened for 20 what 25 years.
- 5:43SPEAKER_03: What was it?
- 5:44SPEAKER_03: I think it was like 25 years celebration.
- 5:45SPEAKER_01: Oh wow, they were coming up on some anniversary.
- 5:47SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but what was the the best thing you ordered, your favorite thing?
- 5:50SPEAKER_03: I actually um I got the chicken picato, which is really good, but the uh I got the butternut squash, like ravioli, those those were really good.
- 6:00SPEAKER_03: Um, there's this also like this lemon frusilli like type of pasta.
- 6:04SPEAKER_03: I forgot the name of it, but that was probably my favorite.
- 6:06SPEAKER_03: Uh there's a lot of food, and we ate a lot of food, but it was good.
- 6:09SPEAKER_03: And then Nick was there too, obviously.
- 6:11SPEAKER_03: I'm jealous.
- 6:11SPEAKER_03: It was great.
- 6:12SPEAKER_03: You gotta check it out.
- 6:12SPEAKER_01: I know I need to.
- 6:13SPEAKER_03: That could be your new Italian spot.
- 6:15SPEAKER_01: I don't have an Italian spot in Vegas yet.
- 6:17SPEAKER_03: If you if you're in the mood for Italian, where are you going?
- 6:19SPEAKER_01: My kitchen.
- 6:20SPEAKER_01: Wow.
- 6:20SPEAKER_01: This is where I've been going so far.
- 6:22SPEAKER_01: But I'll try Gaetano's.
- 6:24SPEAKER_03: Do you uh do cook it down Italian dishes?
- 6:26SPEAKER_01: All the time.
- 6:27SPEAKER_01: That is like the main thing that I cook.
- 6:29SPEAKER_03: What's the what's the main thing you cook?
- 6:31SPEAKER_03: What what Italian dish do you cook the most?
- 6:33SPEAKER_01: Pasta, peas, and eggs.
- 6:34SPEAKER_01: We've been over this.
- 6:34SPEAKER_01: It's a family Sicilian recipe.
- 6:36SPEAKER_01: Is it family Sicilian?
- 6:38SPEAKER_01: Is my family Sicilian?
- 6:40SPEAKER_03: Is it a family Sicilian recipe or is it like a like a uh just a comfort food type thing?
- 6:46SPEAKER_01: Well, I mean it's like a poor man's pasta.
- 6:48SPEAKER_01: So like I think it was like my ancestors that were still in Sicily, very poor.
- 6:54SPEAKER_01: But I think I think probably more than my family made it and ate it, right?
- 6:57SPEAKER_01: But everyone has their own red sauce.
- 6:59SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 6:59SPEAKER_01: So interesting.
- 7:01SPEAKER_04: Well, good for you.
- 7:02SPEAKER_01: You have white bean chili, and I've got red sauce.
- 7:06SPEAKER_03: When are you gonna bring in the pasta peas and whatever the hell?
- 7:08SPEAKER_01: Well, it's it's the season for it now.
- 7:10SPEAKER_01: It's cold, so I'll make it.
- 7:12SPEAKER_03: Love it.
- 7:12SPEAKER_03: Bring in some, bring in some for the whole team.
- 7:14SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 7:14SPEAKER_03: We want it.
- 7:15SPEAKER_03: Brandon wants it too.
- 7:16SPEAKER_03: I'm sure Brandon hasn't eaten anything in the past week.
- 7:18SPEAKER_01: Brandon needs some hot food immediately.
- 7:23SPEAKER_03: Well, there's a lot of things going on around Vegas, and of course, VegasLocal.com is where we're gonna see all the upcoming events, but there's one specific concert, kind of like a festival coming up that um you brought to my attention today.
- 7:35SPEAKER_03: Can you tell us a little bit about that?
- 7:37SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so it's late January 2027.
- 7:40SPEAKER_01: I think it's the 29th.
- 7:41SPEAKER_03: And by the way, I can't believe we're close to 2027.
- 7:45SPEAKER_03: That blows my mind.
- 7:46SPEAKER_03: Like to me, it's 2025 was just like a few a few weeks ago.
- 7:49SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 7:50SPEAKER_01: So probably 1975 was a few weeks ago for you as well.
- 7:57SPEAKER_01: Man, I'm making myself laugh for you.
- 7:58SPEAKER_03: You are something else.
- 7:59SPEAKER_03: Let me tell you.
- 8:00SPEAKER_03: Let me tell you, Brandon, do me a favor, when you're done, can you cough on Julie just uh uh as as payback for this?
- 8:06SPEAKER_01: Work from home.
- 8:09SPEAKER_01: Um, but no, VetsAid is I mean, I think it's a bigger organization, but they have their uh fundraising concert annually.
- 8:19SPEAKER_01: I believe that 2027 will be the 10th one.
- 8:22SPEAKER_01: Um, it was created by Joe Walsh, who is the lead of the Eagles, right?
- 8:28SPEAKER_03: He's not he's not the lead, not the lead.
- 8:29SPEAKER_03: He's a guitar.
- 8:30SPEAKER_01: He's in yeah, he's in the Eagles.
- 8:31SPEAKER_01: He created it and it raises funds for all kinds of like veteran and active duty military support in Nevada, I believe, is what this concert is specifically.
- 8:42SPEAKER_00: Love that.
- 8:42SPEAKER_01: Um, so it'll be cool, but it's gonna be Joe Walsh, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, the killers, quite a few more, too.
- 8:49SPEAKER_01: Um, but get this.
- 8:50SPEAKER_01: It is a five-hour long mini festival at MGM Grand Garden.
- 8:56SPEAKER_03: I'll tell you what though, five-hour long would be that's tough.
- 9:00SPEAKER_03: That's tough.
- 9:00SPEAKER_03: Even for me, that would be that'd be pretty tough.
- 9:03SPEAKER_03: I think I would still be able to, as long as I know who is is in order, like what performers are coming on in order, I think I'd be able to withstand it.
- 9:12SPEAKER_03: But yeah, five hours is a long time, especially if you're standing.
- 9:15SPEAKER_01: I just think I think it's a long time for the garden arena.
- 9:18SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 9:19SPEAKER_01: Because I'm like, unless you have some sort of lounge access, you either gotta sit in your seat or like go stand in that, you know, concourse area.
- 9:28SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's a long time.
- 9:30SPEAKER_03: Do you know what band uh Paul McCartney was in?
- 9:33SPEAKER_01: The Beatles.
- 9:34SPEAKER_03: Okay, good.
- 9:35SPEAKER_03: Brandon, do you know what band that Ringo Star was in?
- 9:39SPEAKER_03: The Beatles.
- 9:40SPEAKER_01: Okay, right.
- 9:41SPEAKER_01: I'm just making sure everybody's gonna be.
- 9:45SPEAKER_01: The only two.
- 9:46SPEAKER_01: Um, but speaking of people in bands, Brandon Flowers.
- 9:51SPEAKER_01: We're coming for you.
- 9:53SPEAKER_03: How do we get Brandon Flowers on the show, Julie?
- 9:55SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 9:56SPEAKER_01: I have reached out to some of his representatives.
- 9:59SPEAKER_01: I reached out again just the other day when I saw he was coming back to town for this concert.
- 10:04SPEAKER_01: I really want him on.
- 10:05SPEAKER_01: I mean, the killers started here.
- 10:07SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and they're huge.
- 10:08SPEAKER_03: Can you bribe him with your pasta peas and recipe, whatever it is?
- 10:13SPEAKER_01: My pasta peas and recipe.
- 10:14SPEAKER_01: Yeah, my pasta peas and recipe.
- 10:16SPEAKER_01: Um, I can try.
- 10:17SPEAKER_03: Say that you'll make him a homemade Italian-Sicilian recipe straight from the I actually think that that would make him want to come on the show less.
- 10:25SPEAKER_03: Is it is it not that good?
- 10:26SPEAKER_01: No, I just feel like that's a weird thing to do.
- 10:30SPEAKER_03: I guarantee he's never gotten a request like that before, or like a bribe like that before.
- 10:35SPEAKER_01: You don't think anyone's ever said, Brandon Flowers, I will make you a homemade meal?
- 10:39SPEAKER_01: You don't think anyone has ever offered him a homemade meal in his life?
- 10:44SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but we at least don't come across as creepy if we would do that.
- 10:47SPEAKER_03: Like, I think it would come across creepy.
- 10:48SPEAKER_03: If it was a single person, then it would be stalker-ish.
- 10:51SPEAKER_03: But if it's like a group or a team or a podcast or a Vegas local show, I think it would come across as reasonable.
- 10:59SPEAKER_01: Brandon, I will do my best to make you a dinner in our efficiency kitchen here in the office.
- 11:05unknown: I love it.
- 11:06SPEAKER_01: No, but I think I think the concert will be great.
- 11:08SPEAKER_01: I kind of want to go.
- 11:08SPEAKER_01: Um, five hours is a long time.
- 11:10SPEAKER_01: It's a long time, but I'll put on my orthopedic tennis shoes and I could probably hang out for that.
- 11:16SPEAKER_01: I'm sure you could hang.
- 11:17SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 11:17SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I believe in you.
- 11:18SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 11:19SPEAKER_03: Love that.
- 11:19SPEAKER_03: What else is going on?
- 11:20SPEAKER_03: There's something coming up this weekend, too.
- 11:22SPEAKER_03: I think it's gonna be pretty fun.
- 11:23SPEAKER_01: I think it's uh it's Pizza Fest.
- 11:25SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you've been to this before.
- 11:27SPEAKER_03: I've been to Pizza Fest.
- 11:28SPEAKER_03: So I went to Pizza Fest not last year, but I think two years ago.
- 11:32SPEAKER_03: And it was when I kind of started VegasLocal.com or early on.
- 11:38SPEAKER_03: And um what I wanted to do is go there and try all the pizzas, which I did.
- 11:43SPEAKER_01: That's a lot of pizza.
- 11:45SPEAKER_01: It was like pizza.
- 11:46SPEAKER_03: And they were even I don't I don't think I ate all the slices, but I definitely had a bite of a majority of the slices.
- 11:53SPEAKER_03: Oh god, I left that fest feeling sick to my stomach.
- 11:58SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but it was worth it.
- 12:01SPEAKER_03: It was worth it, but it was a lot of food.
- 12:02SPEAKER_03: I think I gained five pounds.
- 12:04SPEAKER_01: Definitely, definitely gained five pounds.
- 12:07SPEAKER_01: What was your if you remember?
- 12:09SPEAKER_03: I also may have clogged the toilet too.
- 12:10SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 12:11SPEAKER_01: That's disgusting.
- 12:11SPEAKER_01: Is it though?
- 12:12SPEAKER_01: I don't want to hear about that.
- 12:14SPEAKER_01: That's what you do here in the office.
- 12:15SPEAKER_03: I don't need to know I have never clogged the toilet here.
- 12:19SPEAKER_01: Not while we're here.
- 12:22SPEAKER_03: Not while we're here.
- 12:23SPEAKER_03: Yes, exactly.
- 12:24SPEAKER_01: Do you uh remember what your favorites were when you went?
- 12:28SPEAKER_03: I do.
- 12:28SPEAKER_03: So uh for Vegas Local, what I did was I did like a March Madness type tournament for all the pizzas that were there.
- 12:37SPEAKER_03: And I ranked them in order of my favorites.
- 12:40SPEAKER_03: And I think I ranked Signora Pizza number one.
- 12:44SPEAKER_03: And at the time I think it was just a food truck.
- 12:46SPEAKER_03: I don't know if she has a spot, I think she may have a permanent spot open now, but at the time she was just a food truck.
- 12:51SPEAKER_03: And she made like this wallet pizza.
- 12:53SPEAKER_03: It's very unique.
- 12:54SPEAKER_03: What does that mean?
- 12:55SPEAKER_03: It's a smaller type pizza, but with the way she presents it to you is it's like she folds it up in a way into like fours, but it looks like oh like a wallet.
- 13:05SPEAKER_03: Oh, to eat it, like almost like a sandwich.
- 13:07SPEAKER_03: And that was my favorite.
- 13:09SPEAKER_03: But they were so many.
- 13:11SPEAKER_03: Carmines Pizza Kitchen actually ended up winning.
- 13:14SPEAKER_03: And that's when I found out about Carmine's Pizza Kitchen and the cult like following they have because they people in Vegas love Carmines, and they blew it out of the water there.
- 13:24SPEAKER_01: I mean, reasonably so, like the even the story behind it, you know, would would draw attention, and then the quality of their food on top of it, it's kind of like they have the whole thing put together.
- 13:36SPEAKER_03: And I think honestly, I think they have the best ranch in town too.
- 13:39SPEAKER_03: Best ranch?
- 13:40SPEAKER_03: The best ranch in town.
- 13:41SPEAKER_03: I'm putting my foot down and saying that Carmine's Pizza Kitchen has the best ranch you'll ever find in Las Vegas.
- 13:46SPEAKER_01: Wow.
- 13:46SPEAKER_01: You're a ranch on pizza person?
- 13:48SPEAKER_03: No, not at all.
- 13:49SPEAKER_01: Then what were you eating at Carmines where you tried their ranch?
- 13:52SPEAKER_03: I think the I think who I was with was a ranch person, and I dipped the crust in the ranch.
- 13:58SPEAKER_03: But the the pizza itself, no, no, no, no, no.
- 14:01SPEAKER_01: Brandon, ranch on pizza?
- 14:02SPEAKER_02: Brandon, ranch on pizza.
- 14:04SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 14:04SPEAKER_02: I don't like ranch, period.
- 14:06SPEAKER_02: Oh, I hate that.
- 14:07SPEAKER_02: I think I had a bad experience growing up, but I I can't even taste it no more.
- 14:11SPEAKER_02: Hold on, what was his bad experience with ranch?
- 14:13SPEAKER_02: Clog a toilet.
- 14:14SPEAKER_02: Did you clog a toilet?
- 14:15SPEAKER_02: No, not that.
- 14:17SPEAKER_02: Um, I used to eat a lot of ranch, but I think I had it so much that I developed like a gag reflex.
- 14:23SPEAKER_02: It's terrible.
- 14:25SPEAKER_02: How much ranch did you eat as a child?
- 14:28SPEAKER_02: Drinking bottles of it.
- 14:29SPEAKER_02: Dude, I was it was like an elementary school holiday party, and they're offering ranch with like the vegetables.
- 14:35SPEAKER_02: And being the dumb kid that I was, I kind of just chugged the ranch because I thought I'd earned me some clout with my classmates, and uh haven't had it since.
- 14:43SPEAKER_03: Did it earn you clout?
- 14:45SPEAKER_02: It did, but like it's not worth it, man.
- 14:47SPEAKER_02: I I can only imagine the gag that I would have, right?
- 14:51SPEAKER_02: If I had some ranch.
- 14:52SPEAKER_02: We do have some ranch here.
- 14:53SPEAKER_01: Are you so you're a blue cheese guy then?
- 14:55SPEAKER_01: Like with wings?
- 14:56SPEAKER_02: I don't mind a blue cheese.
- 14:58SPEAKER_02: Okay, but not ranch.
- 14:59SPEAKER_02: No ranch.
- 15:00SPEAKER_02: No keep that away from me.
- 15:01SPEAKER_03: Let's imagine young Brandon just chugging down like cups of ranch.
- 15:06SPEAKER_01: Ah, more ranch.
- 15:08SPEAKER_01: What went through his head when he was like, if I drink this bowl of ranch, I will have friends.
- 15:12SPEAKER_02: I will be the coolest kid in school.
- 15:14SPEAKER_02: All of these second graders are gonna be friends with.
- 15:18SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.
- 15:20SPEAKER_03: Oh my god, that's that's hilarious.
- 15:21SPEAKER_03: Brandon, did people did your parents have an intervention on you after a while?
- 15:24SPEAKER_03: Like, hey, we we're here because we love you.
- 15:26SPEAKER_02: No, just one day I just stopped eating it and they they wonder why.
- 15:30SPEAKER_02: Did you did you lose the friends that you had when you oh no, those are my homies, man.
- 15:34SPEAKER_02: I still talk to them today.
- 15:35SPEAKER_02: Homies for life, though.
- 15:37SPEAKER_02: Worth it, small price to pay.
- 15:38SPEAKER_02: That's hilarious.
- 15:38SPEAKER_01: Hi, my name is Brandon, and I'm a ranchaholic.
- 15:41SPEAKER_02: Hi, Brandon.
- 15:44SPEAKER_03: So uh this pizza fest, though, this weekend, if you're if you're hungry and you're around the industrial area of Vegas, it's a it's a great, great spot to check out because you'll have a lot of good pizza.
- 15:56SPEAKER_03: There's like good pies gonna be there, metro pizza, uh Carmin's, obviously, Dom DeMarco's, which I've had Dom DeMarcos, they're good, but uh they've got rated like number one pizza in Vegas by some very high-ranking uh company.
- 16:12SPEAKER_03: I I I don't know if I agree with that, but they have they have good pizza, but I don't know if it was that good.
- 16:17SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna be honest, the only pizza on this list that I've had is Evil Pie.
- 16:21SPEAKER_03: And what did you think of it?
- 16:23SPEAKER_01: I loved it.
- 16:24SPEAKER_01: I it was also the end of a night on Fremont, and it was almost four in the morning.
- 16:29SPEAKER_03: So anything could have tasted.
- 16:31SPEAKER_01: So any pizza would have worked.
- 16:34SPEAKER_03: Domino's from this nice Italian restaurant called Domino's would have been good.
- 16:38SPEAKER_01: Should I know this reference?
- 16:41SPEAKER_03: Have you ever been to Domino's?
- 16:43SPEAKER_03: No, it's an Italian spot, it's really good.
- 16:46SPEAKER_03: Have you there's this new uh I guess like French place called McDonald's?
- 16:51SPEAKER_03: It's it's really, really good.
- 16:53unknown: Oh my god.
- 16:55SPEAKER_01: If you did not say that, I would have never gotten it.
- 16:58SPEAKER_01: I would have just never ever made the connection.
- 17:02SPEAKER_01: Brandon, did you know what he was saying?
- 17:03SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I was laughing.
- 17:04SPEAKER_03: I heard him smirk back there.
- 17:06SPEAKER_01: How was I supposed to know that Domino's is Domino's?
- 17:09SPEAKER_01: Like, quite frankly, Domino's does sound like it could be a pizza place.
- 17:14SPEAKER_03: Well, they only serve pizza with ranch.
- 17:17SPEAKER_03: Brandon's the first in line.
- 17:18SPEAKER_01: Pizza with blue cheese for Brandon.
- 17:20SPEAKER_03: Yeah, of course.
- 17:20SPEAKER_03: Uh Rebellion Pizza, Cettobello Pizza.
- 17:23SPEAKER_03: Cetabello pizza actually is other than Signora Pizza, maybe my favorite pizza in Vegas.
- 17:29SPEAKER_03: It's so good.
- 17:31SPEAKER_03: Um, Salamente.
- 17:32SPEAKER_03: Sorry, not sorry, creamery.
- 17:34SPEAKER_03: I guess they're kind of just there for to mix it up a little bit.
- 17:37SPEAKER_03: I don't think they definitely don't serve pizza.
- 17:39SPEAKER_03: Sorry, not sorry.
- 17:40SPEAKER_01: Maybe they wanted some dessert there too.
- 17:42SPEAKER_01: Because like this pizza stoned that's gonna be there, they also have their ice cream coned.
- 17:46SPEAKER_03: That's right.
- 17:47SPEAKER_03: When I was there a few years back there, there were some dessert spots there too.
- 17:50SPEAKER_03: And it was a good little switch up.
- 17:53SPEAKER_03: But yeah, it's it's fun.
- 17:54SPEAKER_03: It's fun.
- 17:55SPEAKER_03: If you're if you're free and you're around and you're able to go grab a ticket, highly recommend it because I think it'll be you'll have a good time.
- 18:01SPEAKER_01: Sick.
- 18:01SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 18:02SPEAKER_03: What else we got going on in Vegas?
- 18:04SPEAKER_03: Jewel Santana.
- 18:05SPEAKER_01: Well, it's not the Vegas Oasis, I can tell you that.
- 18:08SPEAKER_01: Wah wah wah wah wah.
- 18:10SPEAKER_03: Is it the Vegas Mirage?
- 18:12SPEAKER_01: No, it's not.
- 18:13SPEAKER_01: Um if if you have not been watching our previous episodes, we are talking about the new PWHL Vegas team.
- 18:20SPEAKER_01: We finally have a name and logo as of was that yesterday?
- 18:25SPEAKER_03: Today.
- 18:25SPEAKER_03: Today for the women's professional hockey league, yeah.
- 18:28SPEAKER_03: We had Dominique De Dia on, the general manager of the uh the team.
- 18:32SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 18:32SPEAKER_03: And even she at the time didn't know what the team name was going to be.
- 18:36SPEAKER_03: We tried to get it out of her.
- 18:37SPEAKER_03: Even after after the cameras stopped rolling, we're like, come on, just between us girls.
- 18:42SPEAKER_01: But they landed on Vegas Vanguards, which I feel like that wasn't even anything I saw the public posting about.
- 18:51SPEAKER_01: Maybe I just missed it, but I didn't see anybody saying that that is what they hypothesize it'll be.
- 18:57SPEAKER_01: Did you see anyone guessing that?
- 18:59SPEAKER_03: No, I didn't.
- 19:00SPEAKER_03: Um obviously I saw a lot of Oasis.
- 19:03SPEAKER_03: I saw a couple Mirage.
- 19:04SPEAKER_03: There was a third one too, I can't remember, but yeah, Vegas Vanguard, that's what they stick with.
- 19:08SPEAKER_03: And I'm okay with that.
- 19:09SPEAKER_03: I like it's I like that it's Vegas Vanguards, not Las Vegas Vanguards.
- 19:12SPEAKER_01: Definitely.
- 19:13SPEAKER_01: Well, and I mean that's what Dominique said, right?
- 19:15SPEAKER_01: She was like, they're gonna go with Vegas because that is what the locals say.
- 19:18SPEAKER_01: Nobody here is like, oh, I'm I live in Las Vegas.
- 19:21SPEAKER_03: Do you know what a Vanguard is?
- 19:23SPEAKER_01: Uh isn't it like the like a leading force in a movement or something?
- 19:28SPEAKER_01: Like the I think it's like someone who's on the edge of innovation or the first people to do something, the strongest force behind something.
- 19:36SPEAKER_03: Uh is it?
- 19:38SPEAKER_03: Maybe.
- 19:39SPEAKER_03: Are you looking it up?
- 19:40SPEAKER_03: I think what a vanguard is, I don't know, maybe, but I think it's a group of people, organizations.
- 19:44SPEAKER_03: Oh my god.
- 19:44SPEAKER_03: That leads the development of new ideas, social political movements, arts, or technology.
- 19:49SPEAKER_03: It's synonymous with cutting edge or forefront, but that's just what I think it is.
- 19:54SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Google definitions.
- 19:56SPEAKER_01: Appreciate you looking it up.
- 19:58SPEAKER_01: Um, which is so the meaning's great, right?
- 20:01SPEAKER_01: I'm not a huge fan of the team name, but what I am a fan of is the logo.
- 20:06SPEAKER_03: You like the logo?
- 20:07SPEAKER_01: The logo is sick.
- 20:08SPEAKER_01: The little kit fox, which I think I think it's native to Nevada, right?
- 20:12SPEAKER_03: The Mojave Desert, yeah.
- 20:13SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so cool.
- 20:15SPEAKER_01: I think it's a great logo.
- 20:16SPEAKER_03: They put out like a little dissection of why each part of the logo is the way that it is, and it says the native to the Mojave Desert, the Kit Fox serves as an embodiment of the Vanguard spirits, adaptable and resilient.
- 20:28SPEAKER_03: The kit fox symbolizes the ability to preserve and thrive in the face of adversity.
- 20:32SPEAKER_03: All right, I dig it.
- 20:33SPEAKER_03: I think it's so cute.
- 20:35SPEAKER_03: I think now that we have a name, I think that and I like the logo.
- 20:40SPEAKER_03: I like the I like the colors better.
- 20:42SPEAKER_03: I'll be honest, I wasn't a fan of the colors.
- 20:46SPEAKER_03: But because I I didn't like I don't like green as much, but I like that the logo itself is kind of it has green in it, but I like the fact that it's the the blue to me complements the green in the logo and the branding a lot better.
- 21:02SPEAKER_03: But that's just me.
- 21:03SPEAKER_01: I think the logo's awesome.
- 21:04SPEAKER_01: I think the logo's great.
- 21:05SPEAKER_01: I can get over the team name because of the logo.
- 21:08SPEAKER_01: Oh, and also, did you see someone posted somewhere?
- 21:11SPEAKER_01: So what are we gonna do at games?
- 21:13SPEAKER_01: Are we gonna throw up deuces for Vegas Vanguards?
- 21:16SPEAKER_03: I like that.
- 21:17SPEAKER_01: I'm like, that is kind of cute.
- 21:19SPEAKER_03: I'm here for it.
- 21:19SPEAKER_01: I know, I like it.
- 21:20SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 21:21SPEAKER_01: Um, but yeah, I'm excited to buy some merch now that we know that that's the vibe it's gonna have.
- 21:26SPEAKER_01: I'm into that.
- 21:26SPEAKER_03: What did Dominique say that the there won't be official like jerseys this year, but next year?
- 21:32SPEAKER_01: And I think she just said maybe until like after everything was released, because they had just PWHL Vegas without the name, without the logo.
- 21:42SPEAKER_01: Um, but I think she said that everything with the official stuff should be out this season.
- 21:48SPEAKER_01: I I could be misremembering, but we'll see.
- 21:50SPEAKER_03: Are we gonna have some players on too?
- 21:52SPEAKER_01: We're trying.
- 21:53SPEAKER_01: We're we're awaiting some emails.
- 21:56SPEAKER_01: I am gonna send a follow up today just to stay at the top of that inbox.
- 22:00SPEAKER_03: Juliet, the now that they have a name, everybody's gonna be hitting them up.
- 22:03SPEAKER_03: They want everybody wants the vanguards.
- 22:05SPEAKER_01: And we had Dominique on first.
- 22:06SPEAKER_03: We had Dominique on first.
- 22:08SPEAKER_03: So it's up to you to not only get some players on, but also get Brandon Flowers also on.
- 22:14SPEAKER_01: That would be interesting.
- 22:15SPEAKER_03: That'd be something.
- 22:16SPEAKER_01: He was like a vanguard of Vegas pop rockish music.
- 22:21SPEAKER_01: Look at you.
- 22:22SPEAKER_03: Look at you.
- 22:22SPEAKER_03: That's your opener.
- 22:23SPEAKER_03: That's what you should go with.
- 22:24SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 22:25SPEAKER_03: When you reach out to Brandon again for the third time.
- 22:27SPEAKER_01: For the 20th time.
- 22:28SPEAKER_03: For the 20th time.
- 22:29SPEAKER_03: After you encourage him with or after you bribe him with your home cooking.
- 22:32SPEAKER_01: Speaking of bribing people, not really a bribe, but an offer.
- 22:36SPEAKER_01: Do you watch Secret Life of Mormon Wives?
- 22:38SPEAKER_03: Uh I think I watched the first episode because of how much media attention it got.
- 22:42SPEAKER_03: And then after that, I just didn't care.
- 22:44SPEAKER_01: It's a really good reality TV show.
- 22:46SPEAKER_01: And I haven't really been into reality TV since Jersey Shore.
- 22:50SPEAKER_01: So like I'm I'm into Secret Life.
- 22:52SPEAKER_01: Not the same vibe, but crazy.
- 22:55SPEAKER_03: Is it like it's because it just follows the is it like a real housewives type of thing?
- 23:00SPEAKER_03: Or kind of kind of sort of.
- 23:01SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 23:02SPEAKER_03: Um their day-to-day shit.
- 23:04SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but I mean there's so much more drama behind it that you and me can get into later and as like why they got famous.
- 23:11SPEAKER_01: But point is one of the women on there, her name's Jen Affleck.
- 23:16SPEAKER_01: She in relation to Ben?
- 23:19SPEAKER_01: No, but for the first season, she would tell people she was related to Ben Affleck, and she's not.
- 23:25SPEAKER_01: I know.
- 23:27SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 23:27SPEAKER_01: Well, she thought her husband said that and he didn't.
- 23:31SPEAKER_03: Oh, it's not even her name.
- 23:32SPEAKER_01: It's her married name.
- 23:34SPEAKER_01: Um but she's married to this guy named Zach.
- 23:38SPEAKER_01: And a couple seasons ago, the women from the show, who are, you know, the main characters, for lack of better words, they came out to Vegas.
- 23:46SPEAKER_01: They come to Vegas pretty frequently, this group.
- 23:49SPEAKER_01: And one of the other girls was like, I have this surprise plan for the girls.
- 23:53SPEAKER_01: I'm not going to tell them what it is.
- 23:54SPEAKER_01: Hopefully, none of the husbands get mad at me.
- 23:56SPEAKER_01: So she gets all the girls in the car and takes them to a Chippendale show.
- 24:00SPEAKER_01: Most of them are like vibing, having fun, whatever.
- 24:05SPEAKER_01: Jen is extremely uncomfortable.
- 24:08SPEAKER_01: She's like, This is against like the boundaries of my marriage.
- 24:11SPEAKER_01: This is against my religion.
- 24:12SPEAKER_01: Whatever.
- 24:13SPEAKER_03: This is against everybody's religion that's on that show.
- 24:15SPEAKER_01: They're not, um They don't follow both of the expect them to be.
- 24:22SPEAKER_01: But she ends up leaving the Chippendale show because she's like, I'm really uncomfortable here.
- 24:26SPEAKER_03: She stands on her more.
- 24:28SPEAKER_01: And she tells her husband what happened.
- 24:30SPEAKER_01: Like, hey, I didn't know that they were taking me to this show.
- 24:33SPEAKER_01: This is what happened.
- 24:34SPEAKER_01: I'm leaving.
- 24:34SPEAKER_01: I'm uncomfortable.
- 24:35SPEAKER_01: And he lights her up.
- 24:37SPEAKER_01: He's calling her a bad wife, like she's disgusting, sends her these horrendous text messages and like threatens her with divorce.
- 24:46SPEAKER_01: And like that was the first moment that she says that she realizes her marriage is kind of falling apart and there's all these issues underneath it.
- 24:52SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 24:53SPEAKER_01: Fast forward years, their marriage is not getting better.
- 24:55SPEAKER_01: She's getting all this success.
- 24:57SPEAKER_01: He's not feeling too great that his wife is more successful than him.
- 25:01SPEAKER_03: If he's upset about her going to a Chippendale show and leaving, then he's definitely going to be upset about the fact that she's more famous than he is now.
- 25:08SPEAKER_01: For sure.
- 25:08SPEAKER_01: He's the worst.
- 25:09SPEAKER_03: Um sucks.
- 25:11SPEAKER_03: But he's definitely not related to Ben because anybody in the Affleck circle would be would be totally cool with this.
- 25:17SPEAKER_01: But here's where it ties back to Vegas.
- 25:20SPEAKER_01: Last week, Jen Affleck officially filed for divorce.
- 25:24SPEAKER_04: Good for her.
- 25:24SPEAKER_01: Immediately afterwards, uh, Larry Flint's Hustler Club here in Vegas offered her$50,000 to throw a no-red flags party with like male strippers and uh a dirty soda bar as like this final throw it in his face divorce party.
- 25:45SPEAKER_01: I don't need your permission anymore to be at a male strip club.
- 25:49SPEAKER_01: And I think it's hilarious.
- 25:52SPEAKER_03: Shees.
- 25:53SPEAKER_03: Wait, so is she not even part of the religion anymore?
- 25:55SPEAKER_03: Like she's okay with this?
- 25:57SPEAKER_01: I think she's still more technically Mormon.
- 25:59SPEAKER_03: But now she's okay with it because she's not married or she's trying to get divorced?
- 26:03SPEAKER_01: I get I mean, she hasn't accepted it yet.
- 26:05SPEAKER_01: So it's like the offer is out there and known publicly, but I don't know if she'll accept it.
- 26:12SPEAKER_03: Are you going to go to this?
- 26:14SPEAKER_01: No, I will not be attending.
- 26:16SPEAKER_03: Brandon, will you be attending?
- 26:18SPEAKER_03: No.
- 26:19SPEAKER_01: But I guess I don't know.
- 26:20SPEAKER_01: I feel like this like brings it to the most important question in my mind.
- 26:27SPEAKER_01: How good of a marketing ploy is that for Hustler?
- 26:30SPEAKER_03: Good for Hustler, jumping on it.
- 26:32SPEAKER_01: I know.
- 26:33SPEAKER_03: There are opportunities and and and businesses that that you have that you can just capitalize on.
- 26:39SPEAKER_03: And out of nowhere, it just it turns things around tremendously.
- 26:43SPEAKER_03: Like um the mama llama, whatever the fuck, bakery.
- 26:47SPEAKER_03: The bakery, yeah.
- 26:48SPEAKER_03: She capitalized tremendously on it.
- 26:50SPEAKER_03: And on top of that, the cafe Lola, um, that's kind of very well known in Vegas, yeah, took advantage of being able to partner with her.
- 26:58SPEAKER_03: And those two have been marketing the hell out of the bakery thing.
- 27:03SPEAKER_03: So when those opportunities arise and you're able to take advantage of them, good for you.
- 27:08SPEAKER_03: Well fucking done.
- 27:09SPEAKER_03: How come we don't have a uh a show that we Jen could have on our show?
- 27:15SPEAKER_03: Like, how come we how come Jen's not on our show?
- 27:17SPEAKER_03: That's what I want to know.
- 27:18SPEAKER_01: I'll reach out to her.
- 27:20SPEAKER_01: How much fun would that be?
- 27:21SPEAKER_03: Jen, Brandon Flowers, and PWHL in one episode.
- 27:24SPEAKER_03: That's gonna be a marathon of an episode.
- 27:26SPEAKER_01: Can you imagine?
- 27:27SPEAKER_01: We're hitting all the audience demographics.
- 27:30SPEAKER_01: There's something for everybody.
- 27:32SPEAKER_03: A little bit of this, a little bit of that.
- 27:33SPEAKER_01: Um, but yeah, no, I think I just think it is uh very funny.
- 27:37SPEAKER_01: Um, I think that obviously, in my opinion, he major overreacted to her going to Chippendale's, especially because she was like, I'm gonna leave.
- 27:47SPEAKER_01: Like it's not like she was doing anything sneaky, and it's not like Chippendale's is the same as like going into a private room at like a standalone strip club.
- 27:57SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
- 27:58SPEAKER_03: If my wife or girlfriend went to a Chippendale show and didn't tell me beforehand, even if she didn't know, I'd probably be a little irked.
- 28:06SPEAKER_01: But calling her disgusting and a bad mother, yeah.
- 28:09SPEAKER_01: That's that's I can't really just like that's a little too far.
- 28:13SPEAKER_01: Like, I I agree, like in my marriage, I'm like, I think that's a boundary that like wouldn't necessarily be cool to cross.
- 28:20SPEAKER_01: I'm also not interested in going to Chippendales, it's not my thing.
- 28:24SPEAKER_01: But if I if my friend put me in a car and drove me there and Tyler wasn't answering his phone and we went in or whatever, and then he called me a bad wife.
- 28:34SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 28:35SPEAKER_03: You know?
- 28:36SPEAKER_03: What if what if Tyler went to Chippendale's?
- 28:38SPEAKER_03: Would you be mad at him?
- 28:39SPEAKER_01: No, I'd be I'd be majorly in support of that.
- 28:42SPEAKER_01: Listen, my husband going to Sapale support male artists, male strippers, by all means go for it.
- 28:51SPEAKER_03: Okay, so that wouldn't be a red flag for you.
- 28:53SPEAKER_03: What would be a red flag for you if not necessarily just going to a show like this, but it what what's what's a red flag for you that when when you were dating that irked you or bothered you?
- 29:03SPEAKER_03: That was something that you was like a no uh you know that that's a line you're not gonna cross.
- 29:10SPEAKER_03: Like something that bothered you, that would be a red flag.
- 29:12SPEAKER_03: Like for me, I would say a red flag for me is if I see earwax.
- 29:18SPEAKER_03: Like not not not just like small earwax, that happens, but like a glob of earwax.
- 29:23SPEAKER_03: That is a red flag for sure, especially on a first date.
- 29:27SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that would just be like that would bother me just to even look at.
- 29:30SPEAKER_03: Like, I would I would if I saw a glob of earwax, I would probably pick it out.
- 29:34SPEAKER_01: I would not be able to look at anything other than their ear if I saw that.
- 29:39SPEAKER_03: Um if if they don't care about their earwax and they probably don't care about other hygienic things going on.
- 29:46SPEAKER_01: Definitely.
- 29:46SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I would say, like, I feel like this isn't really something that you would know like on a first date necessarily, but like if I have gotten to the point where I'm coming to your home and your bathroom is even like a little bit dirty, I can't handle it.
- 30:05SPEAKER_01: Messy, messy is one thing.
- 30:06SPEAKER_01: What's a little bit dirty?
- 30:08SPEAKER_01: Like if there, if you've like trimmed your hair or your beard, and there's little hair trimmings on the counter or on the floor.
- 30:16SPEAKER_03: No good.
- 30:17SPEAKER_01: No, you're walking around barefoot on that, that's disgusting to me, at least.
- 30:22SPEAKER_01: Like I can handle messy, yeah, but dirty is a whole nother thing.
- 30:28SPEAKER_01: Or another one specifically about bathrooms.
- 30:31SPEAKER_01: I'm very weird about bathroom cleanliness.
- 30:35SPEAKER_01: If you have the rug that goes in front of your toilet, yeah, that like wraps around the base of the toilet, red flag.
- 30:44SPEAKER_03: Wow, what does that mean?
- 30:47SPEAKER_01: Because when you flush a toilet, germs still like go into the air and like settle, and now they're stuck in that carpet.
- 30:56SPEAKER_03: What if you wash the carpet?
- 30:57SPEAKER_01: How often are you washing it?
- 30:59SPEAKER_03: Once a quarter.
- 31:03SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry.
- 31:04SPEAKER_01: How often are you using the restroom and you're only gonna wash it once every three months?
- 31:09SPEAKER_03: I mean, I I don't have one, so I I don't know, but we had one in the older office.
- 31:13SPEAKER_03: Never I never watched it.
- 31:15SPEAKER_03: A public restroom is a triple crazy thing to put that.
- 31:18SPEAKER_03: Well, that was because the the people added, whenever the the guys would pee, they would fucking splash up and there would always be little dots around the toilet, and it was annoying the hell out of me.
- 31:29SPEAKER_01: Nobody was- I think you're digging a way deeper hole here.
- 31:32SPEAKER_01: You put a carpet down to catch the pee of the guests.
- 31:38SPEAKER_03: I'm sick of cleaning up the floor when there are little droplets around the toilet.
- 31:42SPEAKER_01: I'm just gonna say there was not a washing machine at the old office.
- 31:46SPEAKER_01: No.
- 31:47SPEAKER_01: So there was just pee.
- 31:49SPEAKER_01: Nobody walked around barefoot.
- 31:51SPEAKER_03: Nobody walked around barefoot.
- 31:52SPEAKER_01: Do you walk into your home with your shoes on?
- 31:54SPEAKER_03: No, absolutely not.
- 31:55SPEAKER_01: Not even like into the front door, you leave them outside.
- 31:58SPEAKER_01: I feel no okay.
- 32:03SPEAKER_01: Whatever.
- 32:03SPEAKER_01: Those are my red flags.
- 32:05SPEAKER_03: Within three feet of the door, I walk with my shoes on.
- 32:08SPEAKER_03: And on rare occurrences do I keep my shoes on.
- 32:10SPEAKER_01: Okay, that's fair.
- 32:11SPEAKER_01: But still, um, that's weird.
- 32:13SPEAKER_01: Please don't ever put a rug in our shared community bathroom here.
- 32:20SPEAKER_01: But no, I'm I'm very anti-dirty restrooms.
- 32:22SPEAKER_01: That is like my biggest red flag, probably.
- 32:25SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 32:25SPEAKER_03: How on a scale of one to ten, how's our restroom here at the office?
- 32:29SPEAKER_01: On its best day or on its worst day?
- 32:30SPEAKER_01: Give me both.
- 32:31SPEAKER_01: Its best day was when I cleaned it for that hauler for the party, and that was a 10.
- 32:37SPEAKER_01: Um, on an average day, it's like a six.
- 32:40SPEAKER_01: Because I feel like like water from the sink ends up on the floor, and then we walk on it, and then it kind of gets that like it looks like dirty water dried on the floor.
- 32:49SPEAKER_01: That bothers me.
- 32:50SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I get that.
- 32:51SPEAKER_03: Brandon, he got locked out of his office today.
- 32:54SPEAKER_03: Oh my god, I know.
- 32:55SPEAKER_03: His office is normally shares a wall with the bathroom, so he's working in the warehouse today.
- 32:59SPEAKER_03: But Brandon, do you miss not being able to hear every minor detail that goes on in the bathroom while you're here in the office?
- 33:05SPEAKER_02: Oh, I think I miss my Seth Roboshow candle the most.
- 33:09SPEAKER_01: I forgot that you have Seth's candle in there.
- 33:12SPEAKER_03: I forgot.
- 33:13SPEAKER_03: Maybe Seth Seth locked the door.
- 33:15SPEAKER_03: It was his the spirit of Seth.
- 33:16SPEAKER_03: The spirit of Seth shut the door and locked the door.
- 33:19SPEAKER_03: Oh my god, I can't believe that happened.
- 33:21SPEAKER_03: I can't believe we have to climb over the ceiling to get into his office again.
- 33:25SPEAKER_01: I know.
- 33:26SPEAKER_01: We'll do it after this.
- 33:27SPEAKER_03: Yes, we will.
- 33:27SPEAKER_03: What else is going on around Vegas, Julie?
- 33:29SPEAKER_01: Um, Hollywood has decided that Vegas is a no-go.
- 33:33SPEAKER_01: Hollywood.
- 33:34SPEAKER_01: Well, I guess really Vegas kind of decided Hollywood was the no-go.
- 33:38SPEAKER_01: If you want to get into the nitty-gritty of it, um nitty gritty, yeah.
- 33:41SPEAKER_01: Like, you know, Mark Wahlberg was one of the major proponents of bringing Hollywood film studios to Vegas, right?
- 33:49SPEAKER_01: And I know he was like trying really hard for something in the Summerlin area, I think.
- 33:53SPEAKER_01: Um, but just the other day, right before Halloween, he was like, Yeah, I think Hollywood is done trying to move here because, excuse me, the proposal for what is it, approving$120 million in annual transferable film tax credits for these production companies um was declined.
- 34:15SPEAKER_01: Again, I think they've tried for it three times.
- 34:18SPEAKER_01: What is your opinion on that?
- 34:20SPEAKER_03: Do you wish they approved it or I mean it's a bummer because it would have put brought in a shitload of more jobs?
- 34:27SPEAKER_03: Like their their estimations I saw were around 15,000, but the state's review they estimated closer to like 10,000.
- 34:34SPEAKER_03: So at least it would have been at least 10,000 jobs, but including some that were like supported indirectly.
- 34:40SPEAKER_03: So that would have been great because every time you go on any Vegas subreddit or any social media post online, it's always people saying how hard it is to find a job these days.
- 34:48SPEAKER_03: So any opportunity to get any sort of job uh positioned or more job positions, which I'm all for.
- 34:56SPEAKER_03: Um but also like we don't need to need it as badly anymore.
- 35:03SPEAKER_03: Like we have so much going on right now as is between another major league team, possibly an NBA team coming into town.
- 35:11SPEAKER_03: There's construction that's just still non-stop.
- 35:14SPEAKER_03: Like it's it's it's exhausting.
- 35:16SPEAKER_03: And it would have been nice, it would have been cool to have like a movie studio or like a Hollywood 2.0 here in Vegas.
- 35:22SPEAKER_03: But there's so much going on right now, and having another major thing coming to Vegas, it's exhausting, it's tiring.
- 35:32SPEAKER_03: Like I it doesn't d deter me from driving around town, but I I definitely get annoyed by driving around town, especially when there's unnecessary traffic and stuff.
- 35:41SPEAKER_03: But again, I I don't think Vegas necessarily needs it as as much as we like if we were to bend over backwards for them.
- 35:50SPEAKER_03: That would be my viewpoint on it.
- 35:52SPEAKER_03: It would have been nice, but I don't think we need it.
- 35:56SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 35:56SPEAKER_03: Are you mad that you're you you're losing not your opportunity to become a movie star?
- 36:00SPEAKER_01: Oh, I still have that opportunity.
- 36:02SPEAKER_01: Um not really, but no, I mean I I agree with you, but I think maybe I'm a little bit more disappointed than you are.
- 36:14SPEAKER_01: I think that, and I could be wrong, I haven't read statistics about it.
- 36:18SPEAKER_01: This is just like my general feelings, but I feel like a lot of the younger people like they don't want to work in the casino floor, they don't want to work in gaming, they don't like a lot of people want to be creators, they want to work in this entertainment industry.
- 36:38SPEAKER_01: And Vegas doesn't have major film studios.
- 36:41SPEAKER_01: I mean, we're growing with like the live music.
- 36:43SPEAKER_01: I know they're they're bringing some more major venues here, and we're growing in sports, which is great.
- 36:49SPEAKER_01: A lot of people want to work in sports and sport media and whatnot, but there's not really that a hundred percent creative side like movie production, like music video production, or all the things that could have come with it.
- 37:02SPEAKER_01: So I think it's a bummer for what I believe is the general consensus of wanted jobs for younger people in media, but we'll see.
- 37:11SPEAKER_01: That's fair.
- 37:12SPEAKER_01: I get it.
- 37:13SPEAKER_03: I mean, there is still a lot of creative opportunities around here, like third street arts.
- 37:18SPEAKER_03: They have something going on that kind of showcases creativity and the arts side of things.
- 37:24SPEAKER_01: That's where we went for serial killer speak easy.
- 37:26SPEAKER_01: Was that at Third Street?
- 37:27SPEAKER_03: I think so.
- 37:29SPEAKER_01: We have been to some show at Third Street.
- 37:31SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
- 37:32SPEAKER_03: We support the local arts when and you know when the opportunity arises again.
- 37:36SPEAKER_03: Um but what's going on with the Third Street Arts thing?
- 37:38SPEAKER_01: They are taking the old Eclipse theaters, which used to be called downtown cinemas.
- 37:45SPEAKER_01: Are you aware of that?
- 37:46unknown: Yeah.
- 37:47SPEAKER_01: Okay, I'm newer here.
- 37:48SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 37:48SPEAKER_03: You're not that new.
- 37:49SPEAKER_03: You're you're pretty much a year in now.
- 37:51SPEAKER_01: You're not a I'm new enough to not know that they were called downtown cinemas.
- 37:55SPEAKER_03: You've met you've met more people on this show in this year that you've you've been on on the show and been here in Vegas than most people have met in their entire life living in Vegas.
- 38:06SPEAKER_03: So at some point, you have to stop being a tourist and actually I'm not a tourist.
- 38:11SPEAKER_01: I just didn't know that they were called downtown cinemas.
- 38:13SPEAKER_03: Do you do your research, Julie?
- 38:16SPEAKER_01: Whatever.
- 38:16SPEAKER_01: I did the research.
- 38:17SPEAKER_01: That's why it's in the rundown.
- 38:20SPEAKER_01: Um, but whatever.
- 38:21SPEAKER_01: They're taking these uh Third Street is taking these buildings or this building and creating like an arts and media, I think they called it an incubator.
- 38:29SPEAKER_01: Sure.
- 38:30SPEAKER_01: Um, so they're gonna take like the theater space and turn it into or like revamp it into like a live performance area.
- 38:39SPEAKER_01: And then they also want to have a film and production studio, smaller scale, probably not Hollywood style, but still something, right?
- 38:47SPEAKER_01: Broadcast facilities, screening rooms, arts education, and then, like I said, more spaces for the local musicians and comedians and whatever.
- 38:56SPEAKER_01: Do you think that going that route is a better long-term investment for like our local creative community versus going the Hollywood Mark Wahlberg route?
- 39:08SPEAKER_03: I mean, I like the idea of like giving people who already live here more places to create and perform and kind of showcase their talents.
- 39:16SPEAKER_03: So that that I love.
- 39:17SPEAKER_03: I it is a much smaller project than the Summerlin Studios would have been.
- 39:21SPEAKER_03: Um, and it I won't pretend like it would have brought the same amount of jobs or you know money to the city, uh, but at least it's something to be excited about.
- 39:30SPEAKER_01: I think it helps with entrepreneurship.
- 39:32SPEAKER_03: I think we have a very creative entrepreneurial type of uh demographic here in Vegas.
- 39:38SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 39:38SPEAKER_03: And from what we've seen, the people that we've had on the show, and to kind of see these people create these followers and these brands all from scratch, all by themselves.
- 39:50SPEAKER_03: We have like I I say this all the time.
- 39:52SPEAKER_03: I I love this show because I love the fact that we're able to have so many creative, unique personalities on the show, and a lot of people with that creative mindset that can utilize something like what uh uh Third Street uh arts is providing them.
- 40:08SPEAKER_03: So I I I like it.
- 40:09SPEAKER_03: I love it.
- 40:10SPEAKER_03: If if it's again, it's not a Summerland Studios type of excitement, but I mean it is still estimated to cost seven million dollars.
- 40:17SPEAKER_01: Well, that's not bad.
- 40:19SPEAKER_01: Not not money in comparison to like a Hollywood studio, but seven million is still a good amount of money.
- 40:25SPEAKER_01: It's it's a good chunk of change.
- 40:26SPEAKER_01: We'll see.
- 40:27SPEAKER_03: Again, this could be your your big break.
- 40:29SPEAKER_03: If if the podcasts here that on Big Head, if you decide that, hey, I want to spread my wings even more and go to the case.
- 40:35SPEAKER_01: I really thought you were gonna say if the podcast doesn't work out, and I was like, what a crazy thing to say.
- 40:40SPEAKER_03: Never say that a podcast is working out.
- 40:42SPEAKER_03: It's not like if the podcast works out, it's we've already established the podcast is working out, right?
- 40:46SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 40:47SPEAKER_01: Um, but uh speaking of seven million dollars, Mark Davis has$59 million worth of land in the Henderson area.
- 40:57SPEAKER_02: Brandon, do you know who Mark Davis is, by the way?
- 41:00SPEAKER_02: I think I are you're referring to the Raiders.
- 41:04SPEAKER_01: Is this a what's 25% of a hundred moment?
- 41:07SPEAKER_03: I really thought I'm trying to catch Brandon off his off his game.
- 41:11SPEAKER_03: But yeah, yes, the Raiders.
- 41:13SPEAKER_01: Okay, good the Mark Davis, correct?
- 41:16SPEAKER_01: So you know who he is?
- 41:17SPEAKER_03: He knows.
- 41:18SPEAKER_03: He does.
- 41:18SPEAKER_01: Okay, good.
- 41:19SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 41:19SPEAKER_01: Um, but he just bought even more land in Henderson.
- 41:21SPEAKER_01: I think it said it closed in October.
- 41:24SPEAKER_01: Um, how do you what is how do you say that name of the community?
- 41:27SPEAKER_01: Askaya?
- 41:28SPEAKER_03: I I tried to look it up.
- 41:30SPEAKER_03: I couldn't even try it.
- 41:32SPEAKER_01: Well, Askaya community.
- 41:33SPEAKER_01: He owns 27 total acres, including his mega mansion.
- 41:37SPEAKER_01: Have you seen his mega mansion?
- 41:39SPEAKER_03: I haven't.
- 41:40SPEAKER_01: You gotta look it up.
- 41:40SPEAKER_01: Will you look it up right now?
- 41:41SPEAKER_01: I'll look it up.
- 41:42SPEAKER_01: Mark Davis Megamansion.
- 41:44SPEAKER_03: I'll look it up.
- 41:44SPEAKER_03: Mark Davis Mega Mansion.
- 41:47SPEAKER_01: But so this property can't be used for any commercial stuff.
- 41:54SPEAKER_01: Like it's all home site.
- 41:56SPEAKER_01: What do you think he's gonna do with it?
- 41:59SPEAKER_03: Yeah, exactly.
- 41:59SPEAKER_03: What are you doing over there, dude?
- 42:01SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 42:02SPEAKER_03: Like if it I thought before I found out that it was it can't be used for commercial stuff, I thought it was going to be like Cowarbugger Bay just closed.
- 42:10SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 42:10SPEAKER_03: Everybody's talking about how much they missed Wet and Wild.
- 42:13SPEAKER_03: I thought he was gonna build, you know, the Mark Davis water park and maybe just have him.
- 42:17SPEAKER_03: That'd be cool, him and you know, his his VIPs be a part of that.
- 42:21SPEAKER_03: But maybe it's his own personal water park.
- 42:24SPEAKER_03: Maybe that's what he's doing.
- 42:25SPEAKER_01: I think he's building a compound.
- 42:27SPEAKER_01: What kind of compound?
- 42:28SPEAKER_03: What's going on in that compound?
- 42:30SPEAKER_01: It's the the new Raiders compound, or just AI data centers in the compound?
- 42:35SPEAKER_01: No, I don't think it's data centers.
- 42:36SPEAKER_01: I think he will um build like multiple houses.
- 42:40SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 42:40SPEAKER_01: I mean, what that's what a lot of rich people do, right?
- 42:43SPEAKER_01: Is they buy all the property around their house because they don't really want neighbors and they just build whatever they want.
- 42:48SPEAKER_03: That would be insane to have that type of money is to be like, I want to decide where I live.
- 42:53SPEAKER_03: Like usually people decide where they live, and it's you know, they don't have control over what goes on around them, neighbors.
- 42:59SPEAKER_03: Mark Davis can literally go and say, like, this is the life I want to live and create it around him.
- 43:04SPEAKER_03: He's like a little mini god.
- 43:06SPEAKER_01: I know he can have like a Raider's house, a blue house, a red house.
- 43:09SPEAKER_01: He can just have literally five or six different homes with massive properties to put them on to.
- 43:16SPEAKER_03: I don't I don't like the color of that house.
- 43:17SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna paint that house across the street and just it can do that.
- 43:20SPEAKER_01: Correct.
- 43:21SPEAKER_03: I would be in solid in sol like I would be in solitude.
- 43:24SPEAKER_03: You would never see me.
- 43:25SPEAKER_03: I would have I would create my own little city, my own little, you know.
- 43:29SPEAKER_01: Who's gonna live there?
- 43:30SPEAKER_03: Have you seen the movie Pluribus?
- 43:31SPEAKER_03: Or the the TV show Pleuribus?
- 43:33SPEAKER_01: No, what is it?
- 43:34SPEAKER_03: It's from the guy who made Breaking Bad.
- 43:36SPEAKER_03: Brandon, have you seen it?
- 43:37SPEAKER_03: I have not.
- 43:38SPEAKER_03: Do you do you guys know about it?
- 43:39SPEAKER_02: No, yeah.
- 43:40SPEAKER_03: So it's it's a great show.
- 43:42SPEAKER_03: It's aliens come down.
- 43:44SPEAKER_03: This this virus comes to Earth, and they they uh don't know what it is just yet.
- 43:50SPEAKER_03: Okay, and it starts to take over humans.
- 43:53SPEAKER_03: And essentially, 99.9% of the world's population is infected and it's controlled, and now all these.
- 44:00SPEAKER_03: People are controlled by these aliens.
- 44:01SPEAKER_01: Oh, weird.
- 44:02SPEAKER_03: Except for like maybe 20 people.
- 44:04SPEAKER_03: There are 20 people left in the world that are immune.
- 44:07SPEAKER_03: And they they don't know what to do.
- 44:08SPEAKER_01: I have seen the preview for this.
- 44:09SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 44:10SPEAKER_03: And so the thing is, the main character, she's immune.
- 44:14SPEAKER_03: And slowly but surely the aliens are figuring out how to take over the other 20 people that are immune.
- 44:20SPEAKER_03: So now there's 19, now there's 18.
- 44:22SPEAKER_03: But what they're doing is they're they're they're very polite, they're very nice, like, and they can't lie.
- 44:27SPEAKER_03: That's like their thing.
- 44:28SPEAKER_03: So they create these to make her feel like she's at still at home and make her feel like everything's still normal.
- 44:35SPEAKER_03: The aliens all I mean is it's just one sentient alien that kind of mind that controls everybody.
- 44:41SPEAKER_03: And so they create this community around her.
- 44:43SPEAKER_03: That's all fake, but it makes her feel like she can go grocery shopping and everything's back to normal, even though everybody around her is an alien.
- 44:52SPEAKER_01: Did you just spoil the TV show, or is that like part of like the plot line you know in the beginning?
- 44:56SPEAKER_03: It's part of the plot line.
- 44:58SPEAKER_03: Okay, okay.
- 44:58SPEAKER_03: They already finished season one.
- 44:59SPEAKER_01: Great.
- 45:00SPEAKER_03: But that's that's what Mark Davis is probably doing.
- 45:02SPEAKER_03: He's probably creating a community of where he is the one sentient mind.
- 45:07SPEAKER_03: He's the one sentient.
- 45:08SPEAKER_03: No, he's the one immune mind.
- 45:09SPEAKER_03: Oh.
- 45:10SPEAKER_03: Everybody else around him is just fake and he can live his own life.
- 45:13SPEAKER_03: That's what I would do.
- 45:15SPEAKER_01: So, like a Truman show that you create for yourself.
- 45:18SPEAKER_03: Yes, exactly.
- 45:19SPEAKER_03: Just like that.
- 45:20SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 45:21SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 45:21SPEAKER_01: I would hate that.
- 45:22SPEAKER_03: A Truman show that I know I'm on TV, and I know that.
- 45:25SPEAKER_01: It really makes sense that you would want a community designed to make you happy.
- 45:32unknown: Yeah.
- 45:33SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 45:34SPEAKER_03: That's exactly what I mean.
- 45:35SPEAKER_01: That does sound exactly like what you would want.
- 45:37SPEAKER_03: I would force, I would force everybody to listen to the show.
- 45:40SPEAKER_03: I would have the highest ranking show in my city, which I would name my city.
- 45:43SPEAKER_03: I don't know what I'd name it, but I would name it something.
- 45:45SPEAKER_01: Big Head City.
- 45:46SPEAKER_03: Big Head City.
- 45:47SPEAKER_03: Everybody every morning would listen to the Big Head show.
- 45:49SPEAKER_01: Can you imagine?
- 45:50SPEAKER_01: Have you ever been on a military base where at the certain hours of the day they play the national anthem and everyone has to stand there?
- 45:57SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 45:57SPEAKER_01: Is that what you would do?
- 46:00SPEAKER_03: As soon as this song comes on.
- 46:02SPEAKER_03: Oh shit.
- 46:04SPEAKER_01: Everybody stands at attention.
- 46:09SPEAKER_01: Oh my god, what a nightmare.
- 46:11SPEAKER_03: That would be incredible.
- 46:12SPEAKER_03: You would you would live there.
- 46:13SPEAKER_03: You would love it there.
- 46:14SPEAKER_03: You and Tyler would love it there.
- 46:15SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 46:15SPEAKER_01: If I lived there, it would not be your peaceful dome of Andrew loyalists.
- 46:22SPEAKER_03: It would be like North Korea.
- 46:24SPEAKER_03: But with all the weird stuff going on there, it'd just more be along the lines of like, I'm the leader.
- 46:28SPEAKER_01: I'm just letting you know that you just said it would be like North Korea with all the weird stuff.
- 46:33SPEAKER_03: Without all the weird stuff.
- 46:34SPEAKER_03: Without all the weird stuff.
- 46:35SPEAKER_03: Nobody's dying.
- 46:38SPEAKER_01: Everyone has a framed portrait of Andrew in their living room.
- 46:40SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 46:41SPEAKER_01: We've got one TV channel and it is the Big Head show.
- 46:44SPEAKER_03: I mean we have 80 plus episodes now.

- 46:52SPEAKER_03: Some are longer, some are shorter.
- 46:54SPEAKER_01: Tired of TV, turn on Big Head Radio.
- 46:56SPEAKER_01: It's only our guests performing their music.
- 46:59SPEAKER_03: I think we're at a point now where we could have a 24-hour running network of just Big Head episodes.
- 47:05SPEAKER_03: We could.
- 47:05SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 47:06SPEAKER_03: And that's what would be on TV.
- 47:08SPEAKER_03: That picture of me would be framed on everybody's above everybody's fireplace.
- 47:13SPEAKER_01: That would be terrifying.
- 47:15SPEAKER_03: Above everybody's bed.
- 47:16SPEAKER_01: You don't want it to be the one with your face tattoos, the signatures from all the guests.
- 47:20SPEAKER_03: That's going to be in the kitchen.
- 47:21SPEAKER_01: Oh.
- 47:22SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 47:22SPEAKER_03: I wanna space it out.
- 47:24SPEAKER_03: I don't want to be all just I want to be able to do it.
