• 0:05
  Speaker 1: difference John here than even a couple of days ago.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Getting quieter and quieter in here.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: It really is. It's almost depressing, Like I don't know
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: if you would.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Depressing, I'd be happy to get out of it, away from
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: this scambling scene for a couple of days.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Did you happen to go into where we remember we
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: were shooting the show on the cash game section?
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Did you go in there this morning? By any chance?
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: It's amazing ghost town.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: So it reminds me there was a scene in Wall
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Street two Money Never Sleeps. I like the Gordon Gecko character.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Wall Street, of course was better, but Wall Street two
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: was still good. It reminds me of the scene in
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Wall Street two where they go to Gordon's beautiful apartment
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and the only thing left is a painting on the wall,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: picture on the wall. Everything is gone, and the like
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: they cleared the whole place out.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: I love that you went in there.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you wouldn't even know. You wouldn't even know the
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: World Series of Poker was here.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: And you saw they cleared out even like the TV
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: section like the ESPN section, right, amazing, And but you
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: know the final final table is what August three.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Four five, So they'll recreate so.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: They have the three weeks to go and they'll be
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: over on the horseshoe side and.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: A half three weeks to go. That's where it's going
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: to be. Yeah, okay, cool, Yeah, yeah, no, it was.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Uh. I have a different opinion of the World Series
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: after being here a lot filming and seeing the money
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: that goes into the I had no idea. Still don't
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: think there should be charging twenty one percent. I can't
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: get over that mathematically.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: But that's on the smaller events.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Smaller events, Yeah.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: It's like three or four percent on the bigger ones.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: No, no, take it easy, it's more and more point
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: five to one, I believe on the big event.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Okay, it's like eight to ten to twelve percent on
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: the other ones.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Okay, still worth it, you are.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Really trying to get it. Still worth it.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: So did you see who the chip leader is for
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: the final table? No, he's twenty two years old?
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, name is Lucas Uh, phenom of a player.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: His biggest cash though, I mean he's only twenty two
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: so he's only you know, been playing for a year
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: at least, you know, live tournaments in a casino.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: His biggest cash this is what makes this so cool.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: His biggest cash to date is twenty three thousand dollars.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, I didn't know that.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: He's now at the final table.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Chip leader guaranteed a million, ten million up top.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: This is why the rake doesn't matter.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: This is why everyone comes because where else can you
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: live out that type of a dream?
• 2:31

• 7:37
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter that I do shows there on the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: park where you come in have to give you. They
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: want to know who's in their building by these. But
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: you know, at first I didn't like that, you know,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: and people don't like that. Safer though it's much much
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: safer for the crowds and stuff, but they probably won't
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: get some people coming in there because of that.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: But also I don't know if people know that. I
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: think it's kind of a cool thing, like a property
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: No kids at Circa, Yeah, so you can't.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Even so you can't even parent. You can't book a
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: kid to go to the pool.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: No, no, you can't, and and a family can't stay there.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: So so if you're if you go to like Circa.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: He built that place. It is for gambling, right, it
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: is for gamblers. It is for twenty one and over.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: You can't even with your parents. If you're sixteen and
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: you're on a vacation with your parents, you're not staying
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: at Circa.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: I find that I find that amazing.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: I like it, I really do.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: I find that absolutely boldness of it.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: The boldness of it. John on the way in here,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I took a photo on the way in here. Uh
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: did you notice that lucky boxes outside?
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Yes, there're these things.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: He's now this one says hunt for the Holy Grails
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and it's when beyond a Christine ten certified guarantee. That's
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the advertisement on the box is a is this Pristine
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: ten certified thing?
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: But you know when I see that, I.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I just know from just being around that that something
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: something's up there. There's no way you're going to get
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: that kind of a card or anything in there. There's
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: a chance you can get it. But they also sell jerseys,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: they sell you know, I say, well, there's a button
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: you could press random.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: You don't know what you're gonna get.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Pokemon, Pokemon thing that. There's all different things like that
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: in there.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: And I would think that they do have that one
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: card in there though, because the get.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Really I shouldn't say, I don't maybe by law, if
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: they're governed by they're in a lot of the casinos.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they're if they're you know, looked
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: at from the you know, I I don't know if
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: there's an agency that goes around and opens every single
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: box to make sure there is that one beyond it
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: that's on the outside of the screen.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: You know. I don't know if that's there, but.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I mean the PR you'd get by someone pulling that card,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I think would be worth putting that.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: The PR you would get, I think, and we're going
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: to talk about that too, about just a gambling space
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: and honorable about PR. But I immediately called my friend
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: down down a Myrtle Beach that has the card store.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I called him when I was outside. I sent them
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the photo and he said, that could be your average
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: return if you're putting ninety nine dollars in is probably
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: around fifteen bucks. I was like, what, No way, I
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: forgot I how to be like eighty five dollars or something.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: He goes, no way, no way. So I just I
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: don't know about those lucky boxes.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: I don't.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I just think and I think it promotes gambling for days.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: So the kids are seeing that's oh dad, I can't gamble.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: Let me press that button on the lucky box, you know.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Speaking of which, though, my friend David, I went to
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the UFC match with him the other night and shout
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: out to him. He's got a sports cards plus and
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Myrtle Beach. He's got a great card Shore South Carolina.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: There got to be the best store in Myrtle Beach.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: He just told me, I said, Dave, if I was
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: to go in and buy Pokemon cards off you, why
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: would I go retail when I can go on eBay.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: I didn't realize.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: He said, well, eBay is going to charge you like
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: fifteen percent, so automatically you're paying up fees. He said,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: we can beat any price. I was like, I was
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: pretty surprised. I'm in a shameless plug for David. But
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: ye sure, yeah, no, he he said. He even said
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: there's sealed Pokemon selection after I han't shown him this
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: box and Pokemon single selection is top tier.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: Whatever that means. There is a shameless plug.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: So if you're into sports cards, they have a lot
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: of stuff travel on Myrtle Beach on vacation.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: They posted it, and then he has a collection in
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the story. He said it's not for sale. I said,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, why would you have a whole case
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: of stuff that's not for sale. That's my private stuff,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: not for sale. I was like, wow, okay, so but
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: people can see it.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: You could see it. Yeah.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're the real deal though, so check them out though.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Again sports cards, plus they're at Myrtle beach.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: So I have a bunch of things. I don't know
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: if I can get to them all. But one is
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: when I live. I lived at Veer Towers on the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Strip here, which is right at city Center. Beautiful location,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the two yellow towers that are curved towers there.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I realized you lived there.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I lived there for years, yeah, for years, And when
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: they first built there, I lived in that high rise there.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Great view of the strip, great view of the strip.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: The wind noise was really really bad though. If it's windy,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: it was like a like Space Invaders out there.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Is that why you left?
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: That's why we left. Literally, yeah, that's why we left.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: And it's still bad, but not as bad. They put
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: some things up, but yeah, so.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: It was great. It was.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: It was a great spot. I have a I'm in
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: a high rise now that I still love. I still
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I'm a high rise guy.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: I love safe.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: But however, going over that high rise, going over walking
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: over to Cosmo, I remember a shell game that was
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: always these guys always playing shell games. And then they
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: had a three card Canti when I was in New York,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: when I was a kid, So I remember these guys
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: on the street playing the shell game find.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: A little cloth ball by the way.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Multiple locations won by Treasure Island, one by all the casinos. Really,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to name any casino. It's not their
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: fault the public sidewalk. But this guy was arrested here
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: and the scammer used psychological trap to steal thousands a
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Miami grifter accused of stealing cash and rolllex in games.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: And I mean, are people this pullible?
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Yes they are, Yes they are, because I knew somebody
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: that's on his way to work. See these casino executives
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: sometimes they see this big money going back and forth
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: at tables and their customers, and they just want to
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: be that person sometimes, you know, and don't realize how
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: hard it is to be a gambler or be it
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: you know, and what people gamble over their head and
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: whatever whatever whatnot. So he actually played one day and
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I was like, are you out of your mind? Cause
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I want to see what it was like. I lost
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: one hundred bucks. So now what happens is they have
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: a bunch of guys all cheering, they're all they're all
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: with the group.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this guy won. I mean, they make it look
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: so obvious.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: They really, they really shouldn't make it to look that obvious,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: but they do.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: And I just want to tell people, just be aware
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: you have done it. I could tell no.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: I remember of seeing when I was little that you're
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: not gonna win.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Where do you see when you were a little though?
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Or oh New York? Okay, we're all over.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: New York and they have and they'll have like a
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: tapers on the corners and then they packed that.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: They pack it up quick when the cops are coming.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they work cops. John.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Did you see the yellowstone the bison that hit the
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: kick the guy in the air?
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: Did you see that that video?
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Follow that page?
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: The charge they charged this this, I mean, look at
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the guy gets thrown in the air. Oh yeah, the
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: older man too. But they stood a pretty decent ways
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: away from the bison. They stood and he's a you
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: could just see, I mean, it looks like it's close
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: when it is they weren't that close. So this bison
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: was in a bad mood though. You could just see
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: the way he was huff and puffing. And this is
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: a grandfather and his grandson, and the bison actually got
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: mad when a truck drove by the truck drove by.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Now the bison got mad at the truck. He went
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: after the grandfather hurled him in the air. I actually
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: felt bad for them because they weren't really I didn't
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: think they were close enough where, but obviously they were,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: because some people do get way too close, way too close.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: The reason why I'm bringing up the story is it
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: just pisses me off that they wanted to youthanize the
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: wild bison. You know, I always have an animal segment
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: to the story. Yeah, so they're not going to I'm sorry.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: The bison was just being a bison.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, they want a euthanize. So anyway, I'm glad
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: that that that turned out. Okay, World Cups here, John, Well,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: now we're going to the finals.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: I kind of changed my stance on World Cup a
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: little bit.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: It.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: I actually not that I was.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Tough against it, but I wasn't really that I got
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: to watch a couple of games.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: I actually enjoyed it.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I think it was okay, Like you were really against it,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I think you even changed I did.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: But Joe Cattap, you know, was on Roger that and
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I told he's a huge soccer fan and I told him,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I said, hey, help me get into soccer. Give me
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: a long shot that could win. And he said, Norway
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: thirty five to one.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Right, so you buried everyone on that.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: So we threw one hundred bucks on Norway, and uh
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: we watched the game, and uh, it definitely.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Helps if you know, there's a little sweat right to it.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I enjoyed watching.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: I like that guy Holland he was fun to watch.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: They ended up losing, but yeah, I mean I still
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: don't think I would seek it out and watch a game,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: but I, okay, I get it. I guess little Roger
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: put it in perspective because I would complain about a
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: two to one score. You know, I'd go, like, two
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: to one is boring. He goes, okay, so that's fourteen
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: to seven in a football game.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, three scores, right, yeah, yeah, so what you think about.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: You watch a hockey game, it's still low scoring like that, right,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: You probably don't like hockey either.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Though I like it more than soccer, but yeah I don't.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: I can't watch it on TV.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, anywhere there because.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: I'm a baseball fan, which, by the way, did you
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: watch the All Star Game?
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: Last night.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Did you even know the All Star Game was?
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: I know I was there, and I knew they had
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: the home run derby the other night, and.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: I missed all of it, didn't realize it was even happening.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know All Star Breaker is mid July,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: of course, but like, it.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Just didn't It was in Philadelphia. It must have been
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: great for the city. Yeah, you know, it's funny how
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: we grew up.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: I don't even know who won American League. I'm assuming
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: they always win.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: They were the National League's favorite, so that's the last
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I see it. I don't know the final score. But anyway,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I grew up loving baseball. John, Yeah, I don't have
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: time for it anymore.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: Right, I want to go to games. I want to
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: there's no time for it.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I'll see you in the postseason, right, the postseason is great, great, fantastic.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but this article.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Was how how good Vegas did because of the World
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Cup on a pretty dead time of the year. They
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: had a lot of people here internationally, not just coming
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: for the World Series of Poker. They came into you know,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: we had the guy that made this background here. He
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: was from Turkey, wasn't he. Yes, he came in for
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: to go see Turkey versus met Ye, the United States, yep.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: And this was a stopping ground over here. Yep.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: I'm so glad you just said that too, because I
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: wish the boys were in here right now, because you know,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: we've been here. We've been on the strip every day
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: since May twenty six. Listen to me, Vegas is far
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: from dead. This is the dumbest narrative. I have a
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: thing on that we went to in and out on
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: a random like Wednesday night last week. Yep, at one
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning, it was packed, packed, couldn't find
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: a seat.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Crazy.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Even last night last night was packed.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: We were on the strip pulling out of here, packed,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: the foot traffic in front of the Blogium from the fountain,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: It's packed. We were at Caesar's last night, ridiculously packed.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I went the Mother Wolf last week packed, packed, packed,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: getting some great comps. Thank god for some people that
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: are coming to town. But okay, to ask our English
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: friends here, you guys come from out of town. Now,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: are you here for the World Cup or the World Series?
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: The World Series? Okay, just a crossover and you you
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: stayed in town. You stayed in town for a couple
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: more days. But was were you watching the World Cup
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: games too? A horseh okay?
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: Cool? And you came here for John? I like that,
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: t me after the show. Nice.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: See there you go, there you go, there you go,
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: thank you, thank you? All right?
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: Good. At least someone likes him, see Bill, Yeah he's
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: got one guy.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: But anyway, all right, so uh it was it. This
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: article was how good Vegas was doing. Yeah with the
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: international traffic. It reminded people of the Formula one last year,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: and people used that this is this article is the
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: same thing. So LA was the closest I believe stadium
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: that had the World Cup.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: People came in.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Vegas for a couple of days and go to LA
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: and watch a game that I think that's fantastic. The
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: World Cup base really really Las Vegas. It doesn't have
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: really a place to host the matches.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: They said.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Allegiance Stadium is indoors, the air conditions excellent.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: We have.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: They've convinced football players to work there, but they don't
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: know if it would work for soccer soccer players. So
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I thought that was an interesting, interesting article. And John's
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: funny you say about there's an article here that talked
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: about maybe the foot traffic was down, but the spending
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: and the gambling is actually up in Las Vegas for
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: the last year. So yes, they say Las Vegas is
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: that I think people just want a little bit of
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: a buzz.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: These streamers put it out there Vegas is dead. They
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: take a photo or a video at four in the morning. Yeah,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: you know, like, but I don't think Vegas is dead
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: at all. I'm I'm in the casinos, you know, I
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: live a minute from the strip here, so I I
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: see it all the time. And anyway, this another article
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: here is about I thought there was this kind of
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: interesting John.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: I talked about this on the show just recently.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: But the article just came out though July thirteenth, So
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: it just came out two days ago. The gambling tax
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: height hike all the states. What they're doing. The article
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: it is on site. I never heard of site in
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: game dot com gambling tax talk. If you strangle the
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: golden goose too much, it will stop laying eggs. So
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: this is about the five different states that already had
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: ridiculous tax structure and now they have went to what
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: you understand Vegas. In Nevada, you know, we had like
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: a ten percent tax. Actually, I don't know the real
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: the rate. I should know that. I think it's around
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: ten percent. I know it's not too much more or
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: too much less. I think it's like nine something percent.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: So now this is the tax rates across each state
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: what they charge to these sports books for their.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: Their tax in state tax.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Perfect example, most of the states were fifteen to twenty
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: one percent. New Jersey was thirteen percent. They were the
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: first to when passport was repealed, they went from thirteen
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: to nineteen point seventy five.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: So a lot of the states here it shows you
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: what they have upped. There.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: You have states like New York at fifty percent. It's unbelievable.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: But the volume there. They are the capital there, they're
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: a sports beting capital. One I told about last week
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: was North Carolina going from eighteen to twenty three percent.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: But the real one out of all these states that
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: have just ridiculously pumped up their rate, it has to
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: be Illinois.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: I'll just tell you the other one's first sold her honor.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Maryland went from fifteen to twenty Louisiana went from fifteen
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: to twenty one and a half. Illinois, which was fifteen percent,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: had a sliding scale of like twenty to forty depending
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: on what kind of a bet or what kind of
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: They went to fifty percent plus. They added a per
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: wager tax in June a year ago, and in the
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: city of Chicago its own per wager tax. There's like
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: multiple taxes in the city now the state it's under.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: The effective tax rate in Illinois has jumped from fifteen
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: percent when they went live in twenty nineteen over fifty
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: percent now. It's just out of control that the states
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: looked to sports betting or i'll just say even eye
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: gaming and look to take all the money them, all
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: the money they can. It's actually forcing some of the
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: companies to go out of business. There's no money in
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: it for them. The smaller companies, they would treat it,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I guess as branding. So the big sports companies would
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: treat it as a branding. That's the only way I
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: could say it. Also, Google has tightened its rules for
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: gambling ads. I'm all about this, you know, me think
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: it's too much out there, the gambling ads for the
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: youth and.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: For just for normal people.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: So they've tightened their gambling rules even for prediction markets.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: So which is.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Gambling by the way, so they have it's you know,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: that's like the number one search engine.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: I would think Google has got to be it.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, so now they have they started in
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: August first, they have a crackdown on their ads that
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: they're selling and they're making money selling these things, but
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: they are they are tightening their advertising rules, especially even
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: for the social casinos and the Sweep States casinos, which
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: that's gambling.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: It is what it is, you know.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I see some influencers have these social and these and
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: these Sweep States casinos and they're they've had went around
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: a loophole to be legal in all the states. And
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: even now the prediction markets that were the big big ones,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: the sportsbooks have gotten to the prediction markets and they
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: went around loopholes, were legal in all fifty state Like
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: they they say that because they're saying it's not gambling,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: but uh, it is, whether it's directly or indirectly, it's
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: my opinion, it's gambling. You're betting, you're buying contracts by sell.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: But you you.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Haven't, you haven't really the last seven eight weeks, you
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: haven't really probably paid attention to a lot of the
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: gaming news.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: But did you know, did you know that.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Now I've seen DraftKings says we're legal in fifty states,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: and people think, oh draft is legal now finally you
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: know here there you can't make a bet with Draft Kings.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: That ever change here probably not here, not here.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Well everything can change.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't think sports betting was ever going to be
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: repealed in all the states.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: But look at look at look at the out look
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: at that. It's politics. Look at the it's politics.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: So yeah, they they but just to see the prediction markets.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Now crossing over to the states that they had no
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: gambling Texas, Florida, California. But you have to check what
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: your local state because still here in Nevada is technically
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: legal to play on those they have geo fencing around,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: like Kyle she and so there's there's geo fencing around
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: where you won't be able to bet from Nevada.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: It's the same line from casino mister raustein you're all
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: just our guest, you know, And uh yeah, this even
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: though DraftKings is here right down the street.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it doesn't matter.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: They they're real strict on on on the actual who
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: gets in who doesn't get in town John we want
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: to jump over to a wager wire this week's segment.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: I didn't get to look at it yet.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna tell you what it is, A three
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: leg future parlay, and the future is was I hope
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: I say his name right? French Open Champion winner is
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: zerof my senate right, z V E R E V
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: anybody no zerofe No? No tennis fans take it? Sounds
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: good Alexander's I've heard of him though I heard of them.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: So he was a small, small underdog plus one forty
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Carolina Hurricanes correct score. This guy had plus four fifty.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: The original wager was only two twenty one bucks, so
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: twenty one dollars to win two thousand and seventy nine.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Now he needs England winner of the final World World
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Cup here five hundred and twenty dollars bet. It was
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: a four hundred and ninety nine dollars profit. I want
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: to tell you John, looking at this. I look at this,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: and I say, you're going a twenty dollars better. You
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: might want to take a little something here and get
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: involved in probably taking on a partner or a cash
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: out value of doing something. You know, Like I said,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: you have one more leg to go here.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: You know what, everyone I talk to you says, England
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: is gonna win.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Everyone that is, everybody says it. Really okay, I kind
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: of want him to go for it.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: He but and you know, you looking at the bet,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the World Cup finals here,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: but England is I'm looking at a freeway line. It
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: looks like to me England is the favorite there plus
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: one fifty five Argentina plus two hundred to tie plus one.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: That's regular time though, so if you go all wagers though, yes,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: did England is a.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: But anything can happen.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: It's sports, right, anything can happen.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Would you jump in on this with this guy?
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Well, you can, actually, if you can hedge on the
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: two way line, I think that's the way to go.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: You you can probably hedge on it, but you have
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: to have an out. If you're a twenty dollar better,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: you have to have money to hedge on this. So
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: I think it is an interesting bet here.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: And and.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I think that, you know, since they are in the
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: finals here, I would think this is worth much more.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, it says England playing Argentina here, which I
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: realized now he sent me this email at a different time.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: So this BET's actually worth more. It's worth about nine
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars. So I would definitely either take on a
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: partner get some money now twenty or a twenty dollar better.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: So either take take on a partner, or find a
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: way to hedge wagerwire dot com and the wager wire app.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Get over there and check out there. There are different
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: things you can find some value there. And it's really
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: hard sometimes for me to say that because a lot
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: of I'm not a parley better parlays is a losing
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: formula kind of wave the white towel at that. But
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: you know, once in a while, I'll take a shot
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: at something weird. I'll play maybe a Wheel of Fortune
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: machine to listen. I don't play games less. You're usually
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: a mathematical edge of a bonus structure or something on it.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: But if I'm giving a deal up front, some cash back.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: But when I see, you know, a twenty five cent
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Wheel of Fortune, it usually pays at a million bucks.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: It's up to two point two million or something. Yeah, Well,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: this this gentleman that I'm going to talk about first.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Because there wasn't a jackpot at the airport, which I
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: don't play airport slots because they're even more of a
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: higher hold. Right, But once in a while, you find
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: a gym or find something somewhere, you have to know
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: the mats behind the things. So I looked at the
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Las Vegas Journal. They had two point two table game
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: jackpot that was hit on a Las Vegas strip. This
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: guy playing Ultimate Texas Hold Him, which is a very
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: famous popular game, I should say amongst people now that
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: were playing table this is one of the first table
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: games that people really enjoyed besides regular blackjack or you know,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: they enjoyed. This game was at a bonus structure. So
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: this is a little side bet. This guy, George Lee,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: visiting from Los Angeles, pucked down a five dollars side
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: bet he was playing, and he won two point two million.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Congratulations to him. But just know, even the one at
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: the airport, they put these things up because they show, hey.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: This can be you. You could be next.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: You know, even the lottery commercials, you gotta be in
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: it to win it.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: It's only a dollar and a dream.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: All these yeah, you.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Know they're just not for me. I always know that
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: they're they're tough to hit, but when you play I
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: have seen John playing blackjack.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: He loves his side bets, so.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: I call blackjack this side bet I called blackjack. Pair
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: the square, now that's crazy. Pair of the square is
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: the bet? Or trylux? Do you know what the trilux
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: bet is? Have we talked about this?
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: You told me two cards plus the dealers up card.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: So if you get three of a kind or if
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: you make a straight, it pays ten to one, a
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: flush pays five to one, straight places ten to one,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: three of a kind pays twenty to one, and a
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: straight flush plays thirty to one.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: I can imagine we're not even saying anything and is
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: saying it.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: It's a double digit house edge.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: I'm but sometimes they come in bunches.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: You know, when they have the warnings at the end
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: of the watch, like America's got talent, don't try this
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: at home, don't try this at home.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: No gamble, no future.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: That's ridiculous, ridiculous, no good, No, he doesn't like it.
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: We try to get this is why.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: W I why try to give out the why side
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: of things. Listen, if it's fun, you want to have
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: some fun with it, but long term you're gonna get destroyed.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: And I still say, free bet is the way to go.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Oh boy, no, that's that's definitely a bad game. It's
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: a free bet, but they put in your split. Yeah,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: but there's rules on the game that make it much higher.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Twenty two is it? That's such a real number. It
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: happens all the time.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you don't think them paying your doubles and splits.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: Me. It's the math of the game. There's no way.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: It's definitely a giant house game, much worse than double
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: deck blackjack, even much worse than six deck or eight
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: deck blackjack, six to five blackjacks, but better than them.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: Isn't there something to be said about a serious question?
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Isn't there something to be said about a small sample size?
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Like I feel like the math on all the games?
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: What what's the game called free bet blackjack?
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: But let's you see free bet blackches.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: But isn't the math based on such a you know,
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: it's based on a million hands or whatever, and in
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: a small sample size you could get hot and you
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: could get four double downs in one shoe.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: No, I'm wrong, Well, it's it's it's it's not as
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: bad as I thought. Okay, because there's an optimal strategy
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: here so free bet blackjack odds are competitives.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: Trust me, John didn't know this. You know, you know
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: you'll be in the.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Homeless shelter with him playing these side games. But with
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: optimal strategy one point four percent not as good as
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: double deck blackjack, with optimal only slightly higher on a
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: traditional blackjack, which you know is a little bit over
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: one percent, but it's half a percent of double deck
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: but not as bad.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: John surprised. Yeah, free bet blackjack, all right, whatever, Yeah,
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: but you know you have.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: To know optimal strategy, like John twelve, verse three, are
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: you hitting? You know you have to know the strategy first.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: I'm not, but I know the book says to do it.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: Books does to do it. You're right. Let's go over
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: to did you hear about this thing with Bryce Harper?
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: No?
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: So, Bryce Harper hired by one of the sports books too.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Let's call it Entice, a big they're high rollerskay, first
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: one of the sports books. So I want to read
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: you the first paragraph. It's all over media, the big
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: news in sports betting. Thurs there was an article that
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: appeared to Philadelphia Inquire revealings Philly Starr. Bryce Harper recorded
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: a video for a vip Better at one of the
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: sportsbooks who assists since sued the online sports betting operator
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: for creating an app that caused a gambling addiction, costing
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: him one point five million. But so this was a
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: probably a private message from one of their sponsors. But
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: it might be no different than Lebron James or Kevin
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: Hard or anything they're on TV enticing you. This is
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: a personal message from Bryce Harper. I don't know what
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: it said. I don't know if it said, hey, Joe,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: keep on going. If it addressed to John, it doesn't
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: take much. Yeah, I keep it going. Okay, where do
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I write?
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: And so yeah, thanks Bryce, come in, you know. But
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: uh so, anyway, it's it's it's an interesting thing that
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: came up. And I think the sports books are being
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: looked at a little more strongly because of enticing people
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: with these kind of practices. Even though the sports book
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: that this happened, they said, it's committed to fostering a
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: culture of responsible gambling and protecting our customers. So and
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: and you know, unlike the illegal off short sports book,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: their employees are trained to recognize and flag signs a
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: problem gambling. I have seen I have seen some of
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: those apps come up. You've been on here for an hour,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: like you are you okay? Yeah, I've seen that. By
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: the way, I'm not. I mean, it's it's something. It's
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: some help, but but you're gonna make your own. It's
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: it's closet gambling. No one's around, you know, one's watching it.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: And if you had Bryce host a slot tournament, then
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: it's okay. Or if he hosted a blackjack tournament, that's okay.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: But if he sends you a video, it's interesting.
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: I don't think John.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: I want to close with a big subject here in
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: the World Series of Poker Gambling World.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know what you're gonna say.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: So the Southern col poker player played here that I
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: think he was in the main events and can cast
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: out some money, but he casts a lot of other things.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: He takes his backpack, walks out of the World Series
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: parking garage, goes home to his airbnb. Two guys supposedly
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: hot tied him, stole his backpack, and and.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: Got out with the money.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: So crazyretty crazy, pretty crazy. And this guy though, has
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: a very good reputation from what I'm reading. Jared Greneer,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: we actually were thinking about gettinghim on the show, and
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: he was going to come on, but now he since
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: hired a lawyer.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: He said, I guess so.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I didn't speak to him directly, but it was
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: someone else.
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: That what's the lawyer for.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe uh, the company or something.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: But this is the reasons why we've talked about this
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: all the time. Gotta be careful. John and I both
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: have a concealed weapons permit. You know, don't the world
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: series is over here. You're not getting much of John,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: but you may get the you.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: Know, the piece.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: I didn't make it to the cash out, to the
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: payout lines, you know.
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: No.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: But on a serious note, though, he said, I was
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: hog tied and stuck there for a while trying to escape,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: and finally got out and ran out of the house
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: called the name were Luckily I am physically unharmed. This
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: was the most terrific, terrifying. Sorry, it's the most terrified
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: and traumatic, traumatic experience in my life. All my money
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: is gone, he wrote, so, which led some people in
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: the poker world to say, do you have backers? Are
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: you staging? Some of the people just say all these
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: these different things.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: But that's what I'm reading that's a long way to
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: go to Yeah.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: From from what I'm reading, you know, people said he's
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: a high stakes poker player. Game that doesn't mean nothing
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: to you. Guys have ten million learnings. They're dead broke.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: So but however, but there's some people that that said, hey,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: he's a high stakes competitive player in a lot of
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: games around town and a lot of games. He has
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: a real good reputation and stuff. So but I don't
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: know how much money was stolen. But this just shows
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: you again, Now, this happened at the World Series of
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Poker at the Rio, multiple time, marking lot later, So
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: this happened.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: You gotta keep your head on the swivel.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: And this town in any gambling we talk about Pennsylvania, Jersey.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: How many people there's been people killed in Pennsylvania that
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: were followed home from the casino over the minimum money.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of guys here cashing for deep six
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: figure land.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Even here, they know what you're cashing for, and a
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: lot of them stuff in their backpack and walk out
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: to the parking garage and someone follows.
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: You to you go eat after or whatever it may be.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the reason why I never want to people
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: think from like the the Showtime show. I did action,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: like when they wanted me to, oh can you get
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars?
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: No, it's not what I do.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: I don't carry My money's in the apps, you know,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: I like you would be upset, you know, unless I'm
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: joining their contest or something. Once in a while I'll do.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: That, but I'll have I'll have you know, you guys people. Yeah,
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: so it's uh, it's a dangerous town though, but they
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: all are.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not picking on Las Vegas here in general, very dangerous,
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: uh gambling world. Know, if you make these scores, you
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: have to watch yourself and and and know your surroundings
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: be with some people. And that's just something we're gonna
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: see what's gonna happen here. But it's a big story
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: in the poker world. And then happened after the main event.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: Crazy.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: So next week, guys, we're back down. We're gonna start
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: at Circle next week. Look forward to that. John Action
