• 5:15
  SPEAKER_04: I'm not gonna tell you yet.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_04: Three of the all three cities I've been to, the ones I'm talking about today, are all beautiful, beautiful cities in their own right.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_04: Um let's start off first with one of the best known cities in the United States.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_04: Can't go wrong here.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_04: Um see if you know just what city this is.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_02: I don't care if the sun don't shine.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_02: I do my drinking in the evening time when I'm spoiler in Las Vegas.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_02: You can sit in the sun and camp.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_02: I get my color from a sunray lamp when I'm in Las Vegas.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_04: I really do enjoy this rat pack type music, man.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_04: You again, being a person who loves music, you will never hear any music like this ever again.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_04: So I do appreciate the music done by Dean Martin and all those other Rat Pack guys.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_04: Vegas.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_04: Vegas is nice, man.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, I went during the during the winter time.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_04: I think I went like in February, March time frame.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_04: And it was cold.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_04: It was cold.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_04: So one thing about traveling to Vegas, you need to go when it's warm.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_04: Don't do not let the palm trees fool you out there in Vegas.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_04: You gotta go in like May, June, July, August, September time frame because it's warm there.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_04: But anything after that, it is cold as ice cold.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_04: Uh the thing about Vegas that you need to know is that if you have an extra liver, you might want to pack that boy because they want you to drink and drink and drink and drink.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_04: You go to the casino and they give you a free drink.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_04: I'm like, okay, that's cool.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_04: But the reason why you drink is because your your your your decisions are impaired.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_04: So therefore, you can't make the proper decisions, like, hey, maybe I should leave and quit gambling and losing my money.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_04: But they'll give you that free drink.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_04: So that's one thing.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_04: Now, every any big city is gonna have its street walkers and bums and all that stuff.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_04: So this was the first time I've been ever offered an illegal narcotic in the streets.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_04: Now, you may be like, that's crazy, but coming from, you know, mid-city, Ohio, you know, on the outskirts of Cincinnati, that's not to me, that's not common.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_04: That's not coming with, hey man, you want this bag of weed?
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_04: Like, no, that no, no.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_04: Why would you ask me that in the middle of the city where everybody's around?
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_04: Apparently in Vegas, that's that's normal.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_04: The guy asked me, hey man, you want this bag of weed?
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_04: I'm like, uh no, sir.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_04: I do I do not want that uh bag of marijuana, Mary Chain, because I don't smoke.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_04: So it's like he just straight up asked me when I thought that was wild.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_04: Now, of course, you say Las Vegas, you know, you know where I'm going with this.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_04: There's titties everywhere.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_04: I'm sorry.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_04: If you you just try to be a G show, but I'm just trying to educate you on what you're gonna see if you go to Vegas.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_04: You're gonna see titties, okay?
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_04: I'm I'm so I'm gonna try to quit quit saying that word, but they out there.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_04: And you know, most of them are now plastic in Vegas, and it's like I've never seen plastic ones before.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_04: I just this is this is this is interesting.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_04: They're just perfectly shaped.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_04: It's like I'm not used to that, you know.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_04: I haven't seen so many of those in a row.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_04: You know, again, I'm coming from Smith City, Ohio.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_04: I don't, I don't, we don't do this in Ohio.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_04: We don't just we don't see this, okay?
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_04: You don't see this unless you got a computer screen in front of you, you know what I'm saying?
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_04: So it is weird that you see all this in with the naked eye, like in public.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_04: And it's like weird.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_04: And they're like, come see our show.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_04: Come see our show.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_04: I was like, Well, what kind of show are you talking about?
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_04: So you said, Boy, are you stupid?
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_04: I said, Well, I'm from Mid City, Ohio.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_04: We don't do this all the time, but I'm like, okay, well, maybe I do want to come see your show.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_04: And again, that's just so much for me.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_04: It's just um a mind, my my mind's oozing out of my ears because I'm not used to this type of culture.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_04: Again, this is Vegas.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_04: I've never I've never been.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_04: You know, you get used to the culture shock.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_04: Ladies and gentlemen, it's a culture shock.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_04: You're just not used to that.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_04: And uh, of course, on the outside, you know, you got the you got the casinos, the strip, the actual shows, like the Britney Spears shows or Usher shows now that you can go and watch.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_04: But you know, we didn't have time for that.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_04: We were on mission.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_04: I was still in the military, so we had mission during the day, and we went out partying at night.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_04: So that is Vegas for you, right?
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_04: So Vegas is one culture shock compared to the other ones.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_04: This next city.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_03: You're a fighter, you're a lover, you're strong and you recover from whatever gets you down.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_03: And there's so many, many reasons, any time, any season is the right time to be with you.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_03: Hello, Detroit.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_03: You want my heart, your Renaissance Okay, we could cut the crap now.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_04: Detroit is ghetto.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_04: Ghetto Detroit.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_04: It's bad.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_04: It's is is the worst city I've ever been to.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_04: Now I went there for work, but there is so many, so many things wrong.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_04: First off, the roads.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_04: The roads are terrible.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_04: There's this pothole at the pothole.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_04: It's just boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_04: I think, I think that's why Eminem has so many good beats on his albums because there's nothing but potholes.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_04: Your car hits a pothole every 2.6 miles.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_04: That's how bad Detroit was.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_04: And and the thing about Detroit, it seems super busy.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_04: But for what?
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_04: Well, I didn't see nothing like, you know, a Detroit Lions game.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_04: There was a Detroit Pistons game when I was up there.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_04: But uh, it just seems so busy and everybody's all mean mugging and stuff.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_04: And the thing about that place, there's a whole bunch of buses, and there was a whole bunch of little Caesars.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_04: I didn't realize how many little Caesars were in Detroit until I found out, you know, Little Caesars was born in, I think, in Detroit, Michigan.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_04: Don't quote me on that.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_04: I think so, because there were so many of them.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_04: But the the energy that that city has is just you gotta, whatever the energy the the city has, has you have to give it back.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_04: When we park, me and my wife, we go up there, we park, and as soon as we come out of the parking garage, uh a beggar comes up to us, hey man, you got any change?
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_04: I'm like, yo, like what's going on?
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_04: Now, remind you that the beggars or people in Vegas, they're just hey, you want some drugs, just all hardcore with it.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_04: But Detroit's like, hey man, you got some change.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_04: And my wife grabs my arm, like, oh my god, call your boss.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_04: I'm so scared.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_04: Call your boss.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_04: I'm like, chill out.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_04: You gotta you gotta give that energy back.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_04: You say, Man, you got some change?
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_04: I said, No, player, I ain't got no change.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_04: You see, I'm poor like you, kinda.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, my bad.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_04: I'm just you know, I'm just hungry.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_04: Like, dude, I'm hungry too.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_04: But I ain't got no change for you.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_04: Freaked my wife out.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_04: She was to this day, she was like, hey, you wanna go to Detroit?
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_04: She's like, man, you go you go straight to H E double hockey sticks.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_04: I ain't going to Detroit.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_04: And I was like, neither am I.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_04: I was just kidding.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_04: Like playing like that.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_04: Detroit is just ghetto.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, and it and it comes off their sports, maybe because their sports teams are are awful now.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_04: Maybe that's why.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_04: But Cincinnati ain't that much better because we just started getting good in football.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_04: Baseball, we still trash, but it's just it's just Detroit just gives off a negative vibe.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_04: But I'm pretty sure there's some positives in there.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_04: Um let's see, the casinos.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_04: Another thing, we did we did do a trip in casinos, and you know, the casinos in Vegas are like drink, drink, drink.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_04: Casinos in in Detroit smoke, smoke, smoke.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_04: Smoke all the time, smoke all you want.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_04: Smoke, smoke, smoke, smoke, smoke, smoke, smoke.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_04: This is clothes reeked of uh cigarette smoke.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_04: It was bad.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_04: It was bad.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_04: Like, why you want to gamble here?
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_04: You can't even breathe.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_04: And then one of the last things about, you know, this Midwest big city is people tell you you messed up in traffic.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_04: They they they horns.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_04: They don't play.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_04: They both in unison.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_04: They don't play.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_04: They want to let you know, hey, you you messed up.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_04: You messed up.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_04: Don't you come in my lane.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_04: And then they do it in the lane, hey, come in, both get you.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_04: They don't play.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_04: They just if you mess up in Detroit, you might wreck your car because they don't play.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_04: And then they let you know you weren't supposed to get in their lane.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_04: They let you know when you cut them off.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_04: Detroit, don't play, don't you go around driving up there like you do in mid-city.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_04: You could drive mid-city, cut somebody off, and they just like flick their lights.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_04: That's about it.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_04: Detroit, they let you know.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_04: You messed up, you get in the horn.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_04: So Detroit is not one of the most popular cities that I've been that I've been to.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_04: Uh what else can I say?
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_04: It was just it was just it was bad.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_04: I just, me personally, I would never go to Detroit again.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_04: Now, the last city I've been to, the most recent city, is the most positive one in my book.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_01: Chicago, Chicago, time.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_01: Chicago, Chicago.
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_01: I will show you a round.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_01: I love it.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_04: I had the most positive experience in Chicago.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_04: Uh shut down.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_04: Beautiful city, most diverse city I've ever seen.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_04: You know, I seen Latinos and I seen white people, and I seen black people, I seen Asians, I seen Indians.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, it was cool.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_04: It was real cool to see Chicago in that light.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_04: It was it was nice to see like a bigger city, but not as you know, the reputation, like, oh my god, you're going to the windy city, but hold your purse, grab your wallet, anything like that.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_04: It wasn't like that at all.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_04: Beautiful city, beautiful tourism.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, we got to stop at the Navy Pier in Chicago.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_04: Awesome, beautiful.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_04: You know, you plan to spend money, you when you go to Chicago, bring you an extra wallet.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_04: You we brought you extra liver in Vegas, brought some extra lungs in in Detroit, bring an extra wallet in Chicago, right?
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_04: Because not only the tourism and the attractions, they also gotta pay tolls.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_04: I mean my wife, we crossed from Indiana to Chicago, I think twice, going to and back.
• 16:54
