  Speaker 1: some of the Yeah, it's just fun to be an
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: American rooperm some uh, some of our athletes there. And
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and I was upset when the kids fell. I actually
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: watched them live. Everyone built it up. This kid on
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: this this this skater when he the quad guy, and
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: he fell a couple of times and didn't even meddle,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and he was like a favorite.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: So yeah, But so John, let me tell you a
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: couple of things. So I'm down here.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: In Florida and I am at the hard Rock and
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I was had an NonStop flight.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: It was Jet Blue, which I liked.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: They have these They have a great level of service
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: called Mints m i NT, which is their first class,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: And once in a while you can catch really good prices.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I mean you could catch like six hundred bucks one way,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: which you know five seventh it was five fifty five,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: five point fifty five and five seventy five. That was
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: each way that I found. And if you get the
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: way ahead of time or rest, it could be triple
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: at so NonStop. They had a flight and MINT is
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to get your own pod. It's actually a pod.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Lay down seat wait on Jet Blue.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable that it's called Mint service. It's
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: not on every plane, but it is on every plane,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I believe, from from Las Vegas to JFK and Las
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Vegas to.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Florida.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: It's a true it's a true first class.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: It's better than first class. You get wow, Like I
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: should have took a video.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I have a video on my phone in the past
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: of it's literally a pod.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'll send it to JH. You can. You can
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: put it right in on the video. Last time I
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: flew the pod.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: And if you get the single ones you can get
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: there's two, which is fine. That's why I had one
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: of the two, one of the there's there's two in
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: each row, but then it goes two one to one.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: So if you can get one of the ones by yourself.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: They closed the pod off. You get a whole row
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: basically the size of three seats. It's your own pod,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: lay down flat seating, and you get so many different
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: amenities with it. It's just a it's a special class.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And like I said, I won't go for the ridiculous
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: amount of money I noticed it was. Some of the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: fights were like eighteen hundred dollars one way.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: But if you catch them ahead of time, and that's
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: La to Lost, right, I'm sorry Vegas, Yeah.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: But I did. I did fly LAX to JFK also
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: in the past.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: But you flew out of LA or you flew Vegas.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I flew I flew out of Vegas. But here here's
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the problem with this flight though. So a couple of
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: nights ago, when the weather was pretty bad, I thought
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: that they might get delayed, and I, uh, we had
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: an eleven thirty PM flight, which I don't like these
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: overnight flights, but that's the only non stops they have
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: to Florida. So you get in seven in the morning,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: which is fine, but in this type of service anyway,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: So I got there nine thirty, which I'm nuts. I
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: always get everywhere two hours ahead of time, and and
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I thought the play might be the late. It was
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: delayed a little bit, so about twelve fifteen.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: No problem. We get on the plane and they made
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: us the board. Oh you want to do that?
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Oh terrible, terrible, Oh God. And this is Vegas to
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Fort Lauderdale.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Vegas to Fort Lauderdale NonStop, only a four hour flight.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: And they made us deboard because of a situation when
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: one of the stewardesses she wasn't feeling well. They were
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: trying to get another stewardess and she was supposed to
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: come in. They knew she wasn't feeling well.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: She didn't. She didn't even make it on the plane.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: But this backup person they had could not get out,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: could could not. This is what they said. Anyway, you know,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I'm a street smart guy. I have some feelings that
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: something else was going on here. They don't you're buying it.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: They don't tell you everything. I mean, because it was
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: because of one stewardess, so they had two instead of three.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Right, maybe there is a FAA law, flying laws that
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: they can't.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: You have to have more than whatever it may be.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: But we waited and waited and waited. They debordered us
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and said we're not leaving until eight am now, and
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: it's like, oh my god. And I said, we're gonna
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: get the same seats. Everything's fine, We're gonna get the
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: same plane. Oh yeah, I don't worry, just go down.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I thought it was kind of funny. And they say, go.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Pick up your luggage. Though what happened was they totally lied.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: They lied, They made people go downstairs get your luggage,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: and then they rebooked me on a flight two days later.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: And I was like, wait a minute, wait a minute,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: what are you talking about.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I got this.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: So I went down to the desk waiting online with
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: hundreds of people and got to the front and they said, well,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: there's a city. I said, listen, here's a six forty AM.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: It's now one forty am. Here's a six forty It
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: goes through New Jersey JFK. It goes to JFK and
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: then goes down to Florida. And they put me on that.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: So I got so literally I went from love Las
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Vegas to JFK waiting a couple hours, went down to Florida.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: But I'm still in a good seat, still in the pod.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Well in the pod on the way to JFK, but
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: they don't have the pods from JFK to Florida, at
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: least the three flights that I seen.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: So I went. I arrived in JFK and there was
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: two flights.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: The flight I was on, and then there was a
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: flight like leaving in forty five minutes, and I said,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: both both had seats. But I said, why don't you
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: guys put me on that flight? And you know they
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: they charged me seventy five dollars, which I was kind
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: of pissed, like it's their fault. Why can't you just
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: put me on this plane? I paid it. I just said,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: you know what, I'm just paying it. You know, I'll
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: deal with it later. If to be honest with you,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I'm probably an idiot. I probably won't deal with it.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Like you know, I just I paid it just to
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: get just to get down there. But then I forgot
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: my luggage is on the other plane.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I totally forgot.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: God, So I said, let me save some time, go
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: get the rental car, go back to the airport and park.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: So I go on level I go on It's three
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: where it comes in and terminal three. Well, don't worry
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: this plane came in at terminal four. Now I had
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: walk I looked at my steps for the day. I
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: was like, how many steps did I take?
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: It? It was like it was like.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: A heir here twelve thousand and fives. I say, wow,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: almost thirteen thousand steps that day, which is about double.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: But here's through about six thousand, seven thousand, which is
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: a lot. Still I walk along.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's crazy.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it was. So.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I got here about thirteen fourteen hours later then I
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: was supposed to, but I had to come down though.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I had tickets, I had a cash.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I had to meet some people, and I'm the one.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: A quick turnaround there, I'll be I'll be back in
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Vegas tomorrow, but by the time the podcast comes out,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I'll be home.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: So, but I I'd like to come down here more.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I like it. I like it down here. I just
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: do the weather. First of all, it's eighty eighty five degrees.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: The weather's perfect. Maybe you guys can see, if you
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: guys can see.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Behind me, look at that, that's going to be Las
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Vegas there. Eventually, I don't know, can I will that
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: show up?
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: It didn't show up?
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: No, Oh, there you go.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's going to be the same exact tower they're
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: building in Las Vegas on the strip. I can't believe
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: how that thing's up already in in uh in like
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: in Vegas.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: I know, I know, I saw yesterday.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: The blue sheeting going on, and already it's it's almost done.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: It's done as far as the tower is. So that
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: that was to see that. Anyway I got.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I finally got down here, and that's the main thing
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I guess it is getting down here.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Guys.
• 8:36

• 8:40
  Speaker 1: if that's what you like to you know, if you
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: like the show, like and subscribe and comments. I got
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: back to that's something I killed, uh killed a couple
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: of hours in the airport, going through some of the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: shows and getting back to people, uh, thanking them for
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: doing what they do.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: You know, they take the time to comment. I think I.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Should take the time to to respond to them.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: And it's funny.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I like when you when someone gets mad at something,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the way you respond I seen you responded there. You
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: just said lol or something. That's that's the way you're
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: supposed to do it. You know, it really is. But anyway, yeah,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I seen that, and and we have some really nice
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: people that watch the shows, and I do appreciate it.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, though, John, I feel I feel
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: a sense of gratitude that I usually do Visa on Thursdays.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: This week I'm not going to be doing because I'm
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: going to be traveling and back to Vegas. I was like,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: oh God, I have off a couple of weeks, which
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: is sometimes you do too many shows.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: It gets too much. How many how much content can
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: you come up? Throwing football?
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm doing thirteen spots a week, where now it's
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: going to cut down to about half of that. So, John,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I seen this article. This was really cool the Las Vegas.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: It's the time capsules, which I always I'm a old
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: school guy. I love old Las Vegas the way it
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: was back then compared to the corporate world now. These
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: time capsules which j Shall put a little link up,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and this was like like when the sands when they
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: bury these things, Like when the sands, you could see
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: it started so high and they bury them in the ground.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: It's just seven capsules, seven time castles are buried by
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Las Vegas trip casino over owners over the decade, over
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the decades. The sad thing is in all likelihood none
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: will be unearthed. Uh And and the reason why they're
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: not unearthed is because, to be real blunt, the new
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: owners just they have a disregard for its own history.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: None of it's likely to be dug up and opened
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: by future generations that was intended for. It's because Las
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Vegas Land routinely passes from casino owner to casino owner
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: who bury the time, captures, captures, and there's zero interest
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: in preserving their predecessors legacies in a loan spending the money.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: To unearth them.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know, isn't that the purpose of doing it?
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Like this, Yeah, it was like a rocket and they
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: had a big, big thing of that. They literally allow
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: gravity to bury it as deep as they could in
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: this hole. And like this one's from nineteen fifty three.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: It's somewhere at the where the where this was, where
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: the sands was. So this is where Las Vegas Sands
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: now company is. They say it's towards the back of
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the Convention Center of where the Venetian the Palazzo is
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: like back there, but it's the twelve foot rocket that's
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: underneath the ground. Then it was preserved in a certain way.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Things wouldn't spoil or go rotten, so like in this
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: particular one, a wax impression of singer Jimmy Duranty's nose.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: That the the schnas. That's for anyone that a lot
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: of young people probably don't realize. Jimmy Duranty, Now, didn't
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: he play Frosty the Snowman?
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I believe he was Frosty, and I think so. I
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: think that was him singing.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Also Wizard of Oz star Ray Bolgers dancing shoes, bing
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Crosby's pipe, Maurice Chevalier, straw hat, sugar, Ray Robinson's boxing gloves.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: How about this the first interview, one of the first
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: interviews Frank Sinatra did with Luella Parsons, straw hats, war By,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Dean Martin and Jerry Jerry lewis carefully preserved and vacuum sealed.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: They have vacuum seals in the fifties.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Well, anyway, I just thought it was so cooled all
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: these little these things are worked. I mean, there weren't
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: so much money, but not the money there worn's just
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: to see these.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Things nostalgia, history and time. You know who's in a
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: few of those. Your dad should be one hundred percent.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: I feel like he's in one.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: I might have this wrong, but if I remember I
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: was little, I want to say Resorts World in Atlantic
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: City or Resorts sorry, just resorts in Atlantic City.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: I think he's in one there. I think he's in.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: A either Trump taj Mahal or one of one of
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: the Trump properties. And then one here in Vegas, and
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: I can't remember which one.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: I kind of kind of want to say.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Uh, your dad, I see, not sure at the resorts.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: I seen his hand prints right right in.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Atlantic City, that scene.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: And but but yeah, they bury these time capsules and
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: they usually say we'll open them one hundred years later.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Well even here we go talking forty to fifty years later,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: sixty years later. They want nothing to do with this,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and I just and there's capsules they and the locations
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: are here underneath the star dust, underneath the desert, in
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: underneath the sands. I mean, there's all these different time capsules,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: and it just seems like nobody cares. So I just
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: thought that, Yeah, wow, wow, I love you know me,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I love Las Vegas history. Yeah, I thought that was
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: pretty cool. Speaking of history, there's a whole article here
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: of the Las Vegas lounge act. Now, I love the
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: lounge jack stuff, you know, the Louis Primas, the different lounges.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: He was known for that.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: He was probably the number one lounge act. But when
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: we interviewed your dad for the first time in the studio,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: he talked about he was in the lounge at the
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Hilton and Elvis was on the big stage and that
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: lounge office the lounge is still there, and you know
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: that that was the golden era. The fifties and sixties
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: even seventies main showrooms for the stars, but the lounges
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: were the soul of the strip. And of course then
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: your dad went on to be a headliner like Barry
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Manilow and Elvis and all the other ones. So like
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the headliners like Sinati and Liberacchi, Sinatra, the rug performs
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: in the big rooms. The Copa room with the Sands.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Had other lounge acts like Louis Prima, which I absolutely loved,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: like Louis Prima, Oh my god, I wound up love
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: didn't of course, Louis Prima, a Chilly Smith, Sempu Terra.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: These were acts that were back in the sixties and
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: seventies or even the fifties. The fifties was really when
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: they started. But my friend, my friend that passed away
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: on me. Yeah, I felt so bad for Cookie jar
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: and his wife. I put them in the Showtime. I
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: put them in the Showtime show with me on action
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: and Cookie was my buddy. He was the last, the
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: real last of the Las Vegas lounge acts.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: But there was so.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Many different places in these rooms when you see like
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the Sands, Sammy Davis Junior and Buddy Greco, but then
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Louis Prima in the in the other.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Room which was the lounge.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: But the lounge was was really used as a loss leader.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I was reading that, and I guess I understand it
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: a little bit, but it's part of me that doesn't.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: For decades, lounges were lost leaders. Casinos shifted from private
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: mob ownership to public corporations in the late eighties. Every
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: square the foot had to be every square foot of
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: the casino how to be profitable. After most of the
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: original loungers went down to the demolitions and claims the
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: host casinos, no new ones were built, just rows of
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: slot machines. And you know the problem a little bit
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: says the stay problem. Ironically, loungejacks were too good. People
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: would nurse their drinks for hours and watch the acts.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: What's kept them from gambling. So now you can turn
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: into the late eighties and nineties, casinos realized that they
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: could make more money charging fifty dollars ahead with DJs
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: and clubs today as.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: We see it now, Yeah, it's you know, I'm kind
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: of sad. Sad.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: I remember being in Vegas, like when my dad would work,
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: like the Desert Inn and some of those places back
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: in the eighties, even and he would always supposed to
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: be an hour long show, right or no more than
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: an hour and ten minutes, but he routinely would do
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: hour and twenty hour and thirty once in a blue moon,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: two hours, just because he's just feeling it, you know,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: on a Saturday night late show.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Just keep them late.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: And I remember they would come back and they would
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: they would basically not beg him, but they'd be like, Tony, please,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: like keep it to an hour. And they I think
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: the number was something like it's you cost us fifty
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: I want to say, they said, you cost us fifty
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: thousand dollars.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: For every minute you go over. Okay, and that's probably
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: a gross exaggeration.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: But Yeah, but that's just how they look at it, like, look,
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: it's almost like recess when you're at school, right, It's like, look,
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: you can have them, they can take an hour break
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: from gambling, but then after that get them back on
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: the floor, Like, don't go over. You don't have to
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: give them their money's worth, Like we need our money's worth.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: John, let's go over to Atlantic City again. It seems
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: like the focus of our show sometimes. AC numbers crazy again.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: They started right out in January brick and mortar two
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirteen million in person revenue, even an increase
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: over the previous year that held records.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: The I gaming again, this is just amazing.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Well, let's first of all, Lets first of let me
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: just talk about the slot machines. Brick and mortar slot
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: machines one hundred and fifty one million from players three
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: and a half percent game year over year, table games
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: sixty two point nine percent. So now let's go over
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: to the I gaming side, which is that means you're
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: at home gambling, you know, underneath the covers when everyone's
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: sleeping and you're firing on on your your phone. I
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: gaming again, two hundred and fifty eight million, seventeen percent
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: from the previous year, which also destroyed forecasted numbers.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Here, just think about this, two hundred.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: And fifty eight point nine let's call it two hundred
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: and fifty nine million with no overhead. The brick and mowers,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: the brick and mortar casinos, like I just told you,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: made two hundred and thirteen million. They made more from
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: the slot machines at home than they made from the.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Brick and orders with all the overheads.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Seventeen percent raise, this is, this is unbelievable. Ready for
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: this one sports betting win, the one hundred and twelve
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: million sports betting win. That's not the big that's a
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: giant number for Jersey. But let me just tell you
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: the brick and mortars only made one point nine million.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: So just think about Wow, all the retail operations have
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: closed in Atlantic City.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: They don't ever they want everyone on the apps.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Why spend millions on a sports book with chairs and
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: you know, big screens. You know, Bally's put in like
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: six million in screen, five point six million.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: I remember reading just.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: On their screens at Bally's, which was the Wild West,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: which I don't even know if it's the Wild.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: West anymore, but I think it is.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: But of course, why even you know, have anyone there.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I just told you the numbers for January, one hundred
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: and fourteen million they made on the apps and only
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twelve million on the ass only made
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: one point nine million, and that was generated inside a
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: physical sports book with the overhead of having employees and
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: paying all different It's unbelievable the numbers that come out
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: of Atlantic City all the time. I see these numbers,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: and you know, you just there's there's sports betting now
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: in so many different states. You have eye gaming in
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: like eight states. I just can't believe New Jersey continues
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: to destroy the numbers.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Let's just be blunts, you know. I'm always blunt on
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: this show.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Destroy the people that they have just restroyed, destroyed the
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: people year after year after year, and ever since it
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: was repealed PASPA in twenty eighteen. I'm shocked by these numbers.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I thought Atlantic City was going by the wayside. It's
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: you know, you guys know what I think already. I
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: don't want to get so negative and trying to be
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: more positive. It's just hard to be positive when you
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: walk down to the Pacific Avenue and then even take
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: your chances of walking on Atlantic Avenue under the cover
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: of darkness. I wouldn't recommend doing even even the board
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: book is a little bit rough, but it's definitely better
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: than the other going on the other side. So, uh,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about our sponsor here, and this is
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: an interesting one. It's a it's a five hundred dollars,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: five hundred dollars Saint John's future to win sixty two thousand,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: five hundred dollars. Original odds of one hundred and twenty
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: five to one, Now it's they're fifty to one. So
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: the cash out of twelve hundred and thirty five dollars,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Do you bet five hundred dollars to
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: win twelve thirty five? I'm first of all, before I
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: talk about it a little bit more, I'm gonna tell
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: you no, I am not buying out. I'm gonna wait
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: until till they go a little bit further. The Johnny's
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: are currently playing their the best ball this season. They
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: had eleven game winning streak, one of two teams to
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: beat Yukon. They get to play Big East Tournament on
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: their home floor. MSG all that said, the market's little
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: that it seemed to be buying Saint John's as a
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: legitimate shot. So I'm not looking just to double my
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: two and a half times my money. You know, it's
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: given very highly unlikely Saint John's actually wins this title,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: but it does become questionable when to sell if they
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: continue this streak. So over at wagerwire dot com wager
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: wire app twelve thirty five bed value right now, seven
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: thirty five dollars profit. Myself, I would not sell this
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: one right now, but that is on the wager wire marketplace.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: It's like you said, if you're betting five hundred, you're
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: you're a swing for the fences kind of better obviously
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: on something like this.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: So you got to let this marinate for a minute.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: That's what I would say. That's what I would say, Oh, John, let's.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Go back to you know, I'm all over the place, okay.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: To show.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: That's what makes the show good though it's very unscripted. Uh,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: traveling on the planes, traveling through the airports, traveling. You know,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I don't travel like I used to. Used to be
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: away three four much of the year. I go away
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: a couple times a year now, John I see the difference,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: or I'm just getting older. It could be one of
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: the two, because I see the difference in the population
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: now compared to a couple of years ago, and of
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: course compared to a decade ago or a couple of
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: decades ago. I just see the self centered public. That is,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: it's got to be because they're raised on social media
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: and they're raised with no discipline. You can't discipline your
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: kids today. If you do, you might be in trouble.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: They may say something at school and next thing you know,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: you have people investigating you. I don't know, like kids
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: aren't even open to constructive criticism today. So yeah, I
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: just see things again. On planes, I see people running
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: past me on the aisle. I'm in row six and
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: a row four, and they just running out of the
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: plane ahead of you. For some reason. I guess they
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: think they're special. I just see kids the way they
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: act in airports.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: People now.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Granted, I'll always when I do see someone hold a
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: door or hold an elevator door, I'll make I'll go
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: on my way to say something. I will I'll say, wow,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: you were raised so properly. I'll actually tell them that
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: you know good, you have good. Yeah, you know, I
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: just see so many different things and I have to
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: I have to blame social media.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: I have to blame things that are going on. Do
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: you agree it all or Vegas?
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I think places like Vegas, Miami, New York, LA. I
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: just see people living at a different pace, maybe than
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: than Middle of America or even like when my dad
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: grew up in Ohio and Math and.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: They're at a different page. Yeah.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, just parenting today compared to when we grew up.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: It's clearly different, right, I mean, it's like we've talked
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: about this before. I mean I remember being in a
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: movie theater as a twelve year old, thirteen year old
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: with my friends on a Saturday, and we're talking before
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: the movie even starts, you know, during the previews, and
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: if an adult turned around and said hey, be quiet
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: or whatever, we felt like we were in trouble and
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: we'd say sorry, we'd apologize, and we'd be quiet.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: If you did that, today, these kids will throw a
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: drink at you. I mean, it's just different.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: That's it. That's exactly it, John, That's exactly it.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: They look to start fights with you. Yeah, it's just
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: so different. It's just so different today so I like
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: when I see these companies crying a little bit. This
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: this is a company, actually it's multiple companies. There's a
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: surgeon identity theft linked to online betting, bonus abuse, identity
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: theft fuel surgeon online betting bonuses, and I kind of
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: laugh at this, but I know it's a serious thing.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying if you're using these particular guys that
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: were arrested, these fraudsters that were arrested in Connecticut. Two
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Connecticut men were charged with fraud, identity theft, and money
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: laundering offenses in a connection with an alleged three million
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: dollars scheme targeting online gambling operators. Prosecutors say they use
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: personal information wow of three thousand victims to open fraudulent
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: gambling counts.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: That's a lot. I don't know how they do.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: These guys are professionals, obviously, but when I see bonus
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: abuse online and you know how much money it's costing
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: them to get bonuses open up accounts.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: And these are all the big companies. By the way,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: I just think.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: About that number of the ie game number I just
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: talked about ten minutes ago.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Make it so much money?
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Like, what does this cut into you know, like I
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: got to be honest with It's just how to protect yourself.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying that.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: I'm of course, identity theft is a terrible thing. I'm
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: not trying to say that. All I'm saying is compared
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: to the market share, and you're giving away some bonuses here, companies,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: please give me a break, and just crying about about
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: how they lose money because of people opening up account
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: and abusing bonuses. What about the different ways the methods
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: that they go about abusing people with we talked about here,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: texting people and come on in and gamble more and
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: trying to entice more gambling and stuff and the different things. John,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I've seen something about there is going to be UFC
• 27:04

  Speaker 1: poker poker players. I don't know why it's not but anyway, so, yeah,
• 30:38

  Speaker 2: I don't actively look for sponsor. I'm so bad.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Like we've met such big people on me and you outside,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: and I don't really I'm not good at asking anyone
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: for money. You want a sponsor, you want to come
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: get my socials where I get a lot of views,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: and by accident, I don't mean to do it. I
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: just just get a lot of views on talking about
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: restaurants and stuff. I don't get paid for that stuff.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I just, you know, whenever they pay, you know, the Twitter.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Twitter pays me a couple hundred bucks a month. Three
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: hundred bucks is a good month. But that's it's nice.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: It's a nice perk of it. It's not my things, though,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I can tell you that matter of fact. In the
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: summer now, i'll slow down actually a little bit too,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: tweeting a lot of things. Whereas football season, even basketball,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: I'll tweet some more things. Okay, Circa is going going
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: to host a bigcoin takeover in April. Now, Circa sponsoring
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: a three day bitcoin takeover takeover event in Las Vegas,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: and their downtown casino. This event coincides with it Made
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Your Cryptocurrency conference taking place at the Strip, so they
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: also are involved. And you know, Derek Stevens himself, he
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: has always been you know for cryptocurrency and he has
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: also been like a front runner talking about they had
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: the first machine I ever seen. It was like a
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: bitcoin machine was in the I don't know if it
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: was circu It might have been before circum I might
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: have been over in the d or the Golden Gate.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: But owner Derek Stevens has been a long time long
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: one of the most forward thinking casinos when it comes
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: to bitcoin. While patrons cannot use the cryptocurrency directly to wager,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: they can't use it to pay for food, beverage and amenities.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: There's also a bitcoin ATM on site. That's what I meant,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: it was a bitcoin ATM. Unfortunately, I have not been
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: smart enough to do bitcoin in my life. And and
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: you know, listen, I know people that have it, and
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: they're not that they're just smarter than me, but they
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: had more gamble. I'm I'm a little bit of people
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: don't realize this. I'm a little bit of a knit
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: If I don't know what's in my lane. So sports betting,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna win. So when I'm betting props,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: when I'm betting mathematical edges, I know I'm gonna win.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Long term, I have no problem firing up a lot
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: of money. But I just didn't know what bitcoin when
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: it was. I have a buddy of mine that costs
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: average like nine hundred dollars a coin, maybe six d
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: I think it was six hundred dollars a coin and
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: he has a lot of coins. But you know, it's
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: sick to it's actually a sickness.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: You don't know when to sell John Wards.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're buying fifty coins, which he has more
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: than that, by the way, and it's sixty thousand of
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: coin is what That was the big fluctuation it took back.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Then it went from you know, him cost averaging six
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: hundred pin up to sixty thousand and he never sold
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: any of it. Then it went down to thirty. Well
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: now I just wup to one hundred and twenty and
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: now I think it sits around seventy somewhere like that. Like,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: how do you know when to sell? When is the
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: time to sell? But I just think you have to
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: sell some. In other words, yeah, if you made that,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: you know, one hundred x profit, let's call it one
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: hundred x six hundred dollars to sixty thousand. I just
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: don't understand how you don't sell a couple now and
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: live a good life and have some fun instead of
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: just saying, oh no, I have to require as much
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: as I can, and I.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Have to get back to one hundred.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: You're not going to sell when it gets back to
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: one hundred thousand. This is just what your mind says.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: So there should be points where you do sell and
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: buy out to get get some of your money back.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: And I'll just say, maybe to enjoy your life a
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: little bit more. You know, I talk about this guy
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: a lot, and he gets mad. Probably he doesn't say
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: he gets mad, but he's a good buddy of mine.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: But does he have kids.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: He does have kids. His kids are very well off.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: Oh okay, his kids are very well off on the
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: road okay.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: But his one son is.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Involved in the bitcoin and he's the one that acquired
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: all these and he makes a great job. The other
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: son is very well off, makes giant money. But like
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: I say to him, enjoy your life a little bit
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: more go out by the car. You know, he's got
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: two fifteen year old cars in the driveway.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: With all stains.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: That's insane.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: It's insane.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: That's I remember we talked to him once on speakerphone.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he thinks he's enjoying his life. So yeah, I'm
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: not saying that Bill.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: Let me help him, let me help him enjoy I
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: don't I don't.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Say I'm correct about this, just because yeah, I live
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: my life.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: For today. I'm not saying I'm not saying he.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Uh, he's doing anything wrong. By the way, if that's
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: just his enjoyment, then that's fine. He goes poker, I mean.
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: You know what, I bet he'd like.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: I bet he'd love put me in some high roller
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: events would be really good rush of fun for him.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: We should would kill him, kill him, No, it would
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: kill him mentally because he plays poker himself. He plays
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: one two one to you know limit poke, Uh no,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: no limit. Yeah, that's his speed. If he'll play, he'll
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: play some stud if they have studs. Stud's really not
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: an active game anymore.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: He'll play some stud But yeah, he don't know.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: But listen, there's been a lot of generational wealth people
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: that have just acquired money and never enjoyed their money.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: I could tell you one thing, me, that's not the.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Way I'm going out, And that's definitely not the way
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: he's going out.
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: Die with as least money in the bank as possible.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Right yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, not if.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: You don't have kids kids.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess that's the way it would be. So.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: But I just went to breakfast outside here with some
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: friends of mine and I met them about I don't know,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: fifteen minutes from here, and we have this little tiny hole.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: In the wall, which was good.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: The food was good, but we ate at this like
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: little surfboard table, like it was a surfboard. I guess
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: they're trying to be you know, it's just the tiniest
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: little table. I mean, maybe you could just I don't
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: want to show my friend's face'll get I made him
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: pay he very very rarely pays for anything.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Sorry and blasting him.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: But you could just see they couldn't even fit our
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: things at the table. We couldn't even fit our food
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: at the table. Like that's one plate and you couldn't
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: even fit like that, that's the whole table. Like, I
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: don't I'm not interested in no places like that. I
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: do have a picture of him paying the check. Maybe
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: I should embarrass him. It's the first check he paid
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: fifty five years of knowing him. Now I don't know
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: him that long, but yeah, I'll just show you from
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: that point on, this is a record history record of
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: him paying for the first time ever. I'm still waiting
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: to take that photo of John Orlando. It'll it may
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: happen one of these days. But yeah, so just so
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: I sometimes sometimes there's like no common sense.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: Who would put a surfboard.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: You can't fit one tape, you can't fit one hardly
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: one plate at this table.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: I just couldn't believe how small. But the food was good.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: But sometimes you just I when I see these things
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: in life, I have to comment. And by the way,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: I love it's my favorite meal eating breakfast out.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: What about you, John, That's my favorite meal. I love
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: eating breakfast out. I do.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: I'm a breakfast food guy late at night, which is weird,
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: Like I like late night breakfast more than I like
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: early morning.
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: Speaking of which, yeah, the.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Other when my plane was canceled or you know, at
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: two in the morning, I said, you know, I got
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: four and a half hours to kill, I'm gonna go
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: over to South Point. So I went over to South
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Point and they have their midnight specials at the coffee
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: shop midnight to six. I think it is what's six
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: bucks or seven dollars staking eggs? And I never had it.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: I've always talked about it, but I never usually get that.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: I went by for that, John, I have a great
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: idea for a reality show. You could literally think about
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: how goodness, I'm not joking, think about how good it
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: would be just.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: To have a show. I don't know where you can
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: name it. Vegas Eats Late.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know that you have to think of something.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: You can come up with a real catchy name. I
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: cannot believe how good of an idea this is. Someone
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: should take me up on it and just do it
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: on your own. Don't want to think again, do it.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Just tape that crowd that comes in midnight.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Line up for an hour to get in.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: That crowd that comes in. Yeah, the late night food
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: could be a reality show. Yeah, people coming to beers,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: people coming and uppy kids coming in crazy like you
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: follow them around after what they do, after what they
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: did before. And it's some of the older people too.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: It's just it's cute. That would be the the the
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: mix of people that come in during that show would
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: be unbelievable to see how what got them to this
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: midnight to six as right right, six dollars late? Oh
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: you can you know there's like shrimp cocktails with.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Two ninety nine. Wow, there was.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: There was literally biscuits and gravy four ninety nine, steak
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: an eggs six ninety nine?
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: What got them to that low roller budget thing? Right?
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: To give you a perfect example though of things people
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: are strange. The night I was there, they announced our
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: computer systems are down.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: They can't take any credit cards.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: It was like the wave, like like half the room
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: like left like charging everything the casino gambling.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: But they say, yeah, they should be every penny.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: It reminds me of you know, it's funny down in
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: Atlantic City. It's amazing some of these high rollers that
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: would come down. They would come down from buses all
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: over the place. They'd be gambling thousands of dollars and
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: going back taking the bus back to New York. And
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: some of these groups of people would live ten in
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: an apartment, literally sleeping on floors.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: Every penny that they made.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: Hard working people working restaurants all night, hardworking, good people,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: even though the buses don't went to Chinatown. These are
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: hard working, blue collar Americans, and yet they would go
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: to Atlantic City and blow every penny of what they made,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: and they would live like that.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: You know, six seven eight, ten people and I should say.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Six seven eight, six seven eights, okay, ten twelve, fifteen
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: people in an apartment just so they have every penny
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: saved for gambling.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: And it's the same thing I thought. I seen these
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: people in the coffee shop.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: I couldn't believe they were walking out because of the
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: situation of not using credit cards, but it was also
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: not using your comp dollars too. I'm not really making
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: fun of it. I understand it. I just made me
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: think of all these people that that do that. But anyway,
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: I think it was pretty cool. But not for me,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: that late night food, two in the morning, three in
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: the morning. You know, it's just not for me. It's
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: not for plus as I get older, John Boy, I
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: used to be able to stay stay up for two
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: days straight gambling, doing whatever.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: I cannot stay up past, like eleven o'clock. Now eleven
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: o'clock I was at the airport hurting at the airport.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: I was, yeah, it was. It was pretty tough. It
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: was pretty tough, but well.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: Anyway, all right, well, I think it's enough for today.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: I'm on the road.
• 42:40
