Sean McAllister: Sean McAllister here along with Dana Roselli.
2:10
Sean McAllister: And even though like last week we talked about a lot of sports, this week we have a little bit more sports, but we're not gonna go like super sporty with it.
2:19
Dayna Roselli: No.
2:20
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, no sports in the sports talk, right?
2:23
Dayna Roselli: We interviewed Darren Waller of the Las Vegas Raiders, and he is just an incredible athlete, but also he's doing so much for our community.
2:31
Dayna Roselli: We were at one of his foundation galas recently.
2:34
Dayna Roselli: We stopped him, we caught up with him.
2:37
Dayna Roselli: What a journey he has been in, and what a story he has to tell.
2:41
Dayna Roselli: If you've never heard his story, you gotta stay tuned.
2:44
Dayna Roselli: And also, Sean, we talked to him about all his favorite spots in Las Vegas on and off the strip.
2:50
Dayna Roselli: So I loved hearing where he hangs.
2:52
Sean McAllister: I know.
2:53
Sean McAllister: I a lot of those were like my go-to spots in my old neighborhood before I moved.
3:00
Sean McAllister: So, like his favorite spots, I'm like, oh yeah, those are good spots.
3:05
Dayna Roselli: I know.
3:05
Dayna Roselli: He did mention a place I'd never heard of, though.
3:07
Dayna Roselli: So we'll have to look into that.
3:08
Dayna Roselli: But that's all coming up with our interview with Darren Waller.
3:11
Dayna Roselli: Great guy.
3:12
Dayna Roselli: But first, let's talk about Miranda Lambert.
3:16
Sean McAllister: Yeah, the Country Star just kicked off her Velvet Rodeo residency here on the Las Vegas strip.
3:24
Sean McAllister: And sparks were flying, Dana.
3:27
Dayna Roselli: They really were.
3:28
Dayna Roselli: And P.S.
3:29
Dayna Roselli: at the end of the show, she said she'll be here for two years, which we didn't know.
3:34
Sean McAllister: We looked at each other, we were like, wait a second, did we know that?
3:37
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
3:37
Dayna Roselli: So that was exciting.
3:39
Dayna Roselli: So she'll she kicked off the residency, but she is going to be doing shows in Las Vegas for two years.
3:44
Dayna Roselli: Words from her mouth at the end of her show.
3:47
Dayna Roselli: So that was exciting to hear.
3:49
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, what a fun night, right?
3:50
Dayna Roselli: At Zappos Theater.
3:51
Sean McAllister: It really was.
3:52
Sean McAllister: People were up out of their seats for most of the show.
3:56
Sean McAllister: My gosh.
3:57
Sean McAllister: People were super into the music.
3:59
Sean McAllister: It's a high-energy show with I mean, Miranda's she's just great.
4:05
Sean McAllister: She's a great entertainer.
4:07
Sean McAllister: Um, we have our thoughts on the show, but first we want to hear from Miranda herself.
4:14
SPEAKER_00: Las Vegas is um one of those places where everything's available.
4:19
SPEAKER_00: And so I love the fact that it's a city that lifts up all kinds of artists from the shows to Cirque to you know, country music, any kind of thing you can think of.
4:28
SPEAKER_00: There's a show to see here, and I love that.
4:30
SPEAKER_00: And so becoming part of that sort of kids' club of you know, the cool kids club that's been had Vegas residencies was a really, a really good thought when it was pr presented to me.
4:41
SPEAKER_00: So um I'm thrilled to be here.
4:42
SPEAKER_00: I think it's awesome.
4:44
SPEAKER_00: Zappo's, I feel like every seat in the house is a good seat.
4:46
SPEAKER_00: It feels really intimate, but you can still put on a huge show.
4:49
SPEAKER_00: And I I've never experienced that before because theaters tech normally don't have that big of a stage to to work with.
4:56
SPEAKER_00: So it is really interesting that I could see most of the faces in the room and um still put a set this big in this place.
5:03
SPEAKER_00: So I felt really good.
5:04
SPEAKER_00: It's a legendary theater.
5:06
SPEAKER_00: So um I actually saw Shania here back in December.
5:09
SPEAKER_00: So um I'm really thankful to, you know, it's got it's got history to it.
5:13
SPEAKER_00: When you step on the stage, you you can't help but think about all the other people that have been there too.
5:17
SPEAKER_00: And and put, you know, getting to Vegas, you don't just wake up and do that as a new artist.
5:22
SPEAKER_00: You know, you you put a lot of time in to get a residency.
5:24
SPEAKER_00: And so I I respect that.
5:27
SPEAKER_00: I want fans to, if they've seen us before, to feel like this is a show that they've never seen from us.
5:32
SPEAKER_00: Um, to really know that we are trying to deliver the most, the the best show that we can deliver for them because I know it's expensive and it's you know, people travel from all over and they spend the hard earned money on it.
5:42
SPEAKER_00: And so I want to make sure that we really deliver for them.
5:45
SPEAKER_00: And for fans that have never seen us before, um, you know, this this would be the time because we have all the bells and whistles right now.
5:52
SPEAKER_00: So it's really cool.
5:54
SPEAKER_00: We've never had PowerBoat on tour, and we've never had um this many lights.
6:00
SPEAKER_00: So everything is very well thought out, and every song is lifted up by this set, and it really is so cool to watch, you know, just being on tour this long.
6:09
SPEAKER_00: I've never um I've never seen our show at such an elevated level, and the band is we're matching that energy of, you know, all of us creatively have worked on it so hard that all of us are bringing our A game.
6:21
SPEAKER_00: And so it feels very big and very important for my for my catalog and for, you know, um my life's work really.
6:29
SPEAKER_00: This is kind of what I've dedicated my life to.
6:32
Sean McAllister: And Dana, uh, I don't know about you, but I had a really good time at the show.
6:36
Dayna Roselli: I didn't.
6:37
Dayna Roselli: I don't know Miranda Lambert music very well.
6:39
Dayna Roselli: I know Little Red Wagon.
6:41
Dayna Roselli: I was waiting for that song, and she did play it, guys.
6:44
Dayna Roselli: And my friend was waiting for another one of his favorite songs, and she played that too, so we were happy with that.
6:49
Dayna Roselli: But didn't seem like we didn't know the songs, right?
6:53
Dayna Roselli: Because we were saying they were so easy to sway to and learn the words to that you're just kind of into it the whole show.
7:00
Sean McAllister: Yeah, you end up singing the chorus right along with her after the first time, exactly, and uh it was just so graphically enticing, and there's so many lights and the effects, there's fire, lots of pyro in the show.
7:18
Sean McAllister: And actually, Miranda said that she has never done a show before with pyro, especially out on tour.
7:25
Sean McAllister: So this is something new for her to have a production this big.
7:29
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I mean we were a little ways back and we could feel the heat when that pyro kicked up, right?
7:34
Sean McAllister: And it wasn't just like uh a oh like oh, something's warm.
7:39
Sean McAllister: You were like, oh crap, like those are giant blasts of fire.
7:44
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
7:44
Sean McAllister: I even I turned to Shane and my husband, and I was like, are my eyebrows singed?
7:49
Dayna Roselli: I know, it felt it, right?
7:50
Dayna Roselli: It was I like a little blast of heat though, especially because that air conditioning can blow a little too much.
7:55
Dayna Roselli: Um, so yeah, anyway, she came out in a fabulous outfit.
7:58
Dayna Roselli: She had her gold boots, and so um it was a great show.
8:01
Dayna Roselli: She literally played song after song after song after song.
8:05
Dayna Roselli: And if I had any critique, it might be that.
8:07
Dayna Roselli: I loved that she continuously belted out the hits, but I would have liked to hear from her just a little bit more during the show.
8:14
Dayna Roselli: And it could be something where she's gonna need to figure that out, but just speaking a little more to the audience would have been better for me.
8:21
Sean McAllister: Right.
8:22
Sean McAllister: And I don't know whether it's uh a story about she did kind of set some of the songs up with a little bit of a story, but it wasn't like speaking directly to the audience and having candid moments.
8:35
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, yeah.
8:36
Sean McAllister: Um, and I think my other critique is that uh Miranda only wore one costume the entire show.
8:46
Sean McAllister: And I don't know of any other headlining act that has never gone in for a wardrobe change.
8:55
Sean McAllister: And I kind of wanted her to be a little bit more diva.
8:58
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I know.
8:59
Dayna Roselli: I think and when we were chatting with a lot of others after the two things we just said seemed to be what everyone agreed on.
9:05
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
9:06
Dayna Roselli: Fantastic, incredible voice, amazing songs, what a show.
9:09
Dayna Roselli: But we would have liked to hear from her a little bit more, and also we kind of thought that she would change outfits a few times because it would kind of go dark for a second.
9:19
Dayna Roselli: You thought, oh, she's gonna come out in something new.
9:21
Dayna Roselli: I think she put on a gold jacket toward the end, right?
9:23
Dayna Roselli: I think she put on a jacket or pink, yeah.
9:26
Sean McAllister: It was there were a couple jackets, yes.
9:28
Dayna Roselli: A jacket or two with the free, yeah.
9:30
Dayna Roselli: So I mean, she put things on here and there, but I know I think we expected the change.
9:34
Dayna Roselli: And I don't know if it's just our our snobby Vegas show attitude of we're like when you come here, you gotta change costumes or what.
9:42
Dayna Roselli: But you know, it it's it is a show, and I don't know, I guess we're just used to that, you know.
9:47
Dayna Roselli: I mean, Cher changed outfits too many times.
9:50
Sean McAllister: Oh my god, there was like an outfit per song.
9:52
Dayna Roselli: That was ridiculous.
9:54
Sean McAllister: It was like, okay, here's Cher for two minutes, and then she's gone for five minutes to change.
9:59
Dayna Roselli: So we don't want that, Miranda, but maybe a couple, you know, costume changes could have been could have been fun for Miranda, and I think it just kind of adds to the show.
10:06
Dayna Roselli: But you know, it's her show.
10:08
Dayna Roselli: She's doing it how she wants.
10:10
Dayna Roselli: The place was sold out and rocking, so I mean, maybe, maybe it doesn't really matter.
10:15
Dayna Roselli: Who knows?
10:16
Sean McAllister: An entire weekend of sold-out shows to kick off the Velvet Rodeo residency over at Planet Hollywood.
10:24
Sean McAllister: Um, but overall, it really was a fantastic show.
10:29
Sean McAllister: We had a great time.
10:30
Dayna Roselli: We did.
10:30
Dayna Roselli: We went to an after party, which was great.
10:32
Dayna Roselli: Um, Miranda was there, her husband was there.
10:34
Dayna Roselli: You know, you could tell the whole crew and everyone that was part of the show, which was fun.
10:38
Dayna Roselli: And uh they had a great cake for her.
10:41
Dayna Roselli: Uh I loaded up on churros.
10:43
Dayna Roselli: They had churros there.
10:44
Dayna Roselli: Did you have some of the churros?
10:45
Sean McAllister: No, I didn't eat anything.
10:46
Dayna Roselli: Oh, it was so delicious.
10:47
Sean McAllister: But there were sliders and churros.
10:49
Sean McAllister: Yeah, a taco bar stand bar.
10:52
Sean McAllister: That was great.
10:52
Dayna Roselli: That was really nice of her to do that.
10:54
Dayna Roselli: It was for the, you know, the people who um attended the show, the VIPs and media and stuff.
10:59
Dayna Roselli: So enjoyed that.
11:00
Dayna Roselli: And again, um there was a quick little speech, and they did reiterate that she will be in Vegas for two years.
11:07
Dayna Roselli: So if you want to see Miranda and you can't get here immediately, you've got time.
11:10
Dayna Roselli: I can only imagine, and I didn't look at the dates, so she's gotta be rocking out during the national final rodeo week.
11:16
Dayna Roselli: Oh, yeah.
11:17
Dayna Roselli: I'm assuming.
11:17
Dayna Roselli: And that's she'll she'll pack them in.
11:19
Dayna Roselli: So I hope she enjoys it.
11:21
Dayna Roselli: I hope she loves Vegas as much as we do.
11:24
Sean McAllister: Welcome, Miranda.
11:25
Sean McAllister: Uh, another group of musicians who will be hanging around Vegas a little more than they usually do is Maroon 5 with frontman Adam Levine has just announced a Vegas residency of their own over at Park MGM.
11:43
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, now I'm just gonna say it.
11:44
Dayna Roselli: Interesting timing.
11:46
Dayna Roselli: Um, Adam Levine has been in the headlines, not a great way lately, because of his personal life.
11:52
Dayna Roselli: Although, I also have to say, personal life really has nothing to do with your music and your career and what you're doing.
11:59
Dayna Roselli: And so, you know what?
12:01
Dayna Roselli: Maroon 5 announced a residency in Las Vegas.
12:03
Dayna Roselli: And you know what they say?
12:04
Dayna Roselli: No press is bad press.
12:05
Dayna Roselli: I mean, it is what it is, but this is definitely gonna get people talking.
12:10
Dayna Roselli: And I'm curious how the ticket sales will go over at Park MGM.
12:14
Dayna Roselli: Maroon 5's been around a long time, and you cannot deny they have hit after hit after hit.
12:20
Sean McAllister: They do, and for years, I don't even know how many years this dates back, but they have done uh New Year's Eve shows, New Year's weekend shows uh here in Las Vegas for as long as I can remember.
12:35
Sean McAllister: In recent history, anyway.
12:36
Sean McAllister: I don't know, maybe it goes back seven, eight years that they've done their New Year's Eve shows, but now they'll be over at uh Park MGM.
12:45
Sean McAllister: Tickets for their residency go on sale pretty soon on uh October 3rd.
12:50
Sean McAllister: That's a Monday.
12:52
Sean McAllister: So you can start getting tickets to see them over at Dolby Live.
12:56
Sean McAllister: Um, and this residency is going to be custom designed for that theater over at Park MGM.
13:04
Dayna Roselli: Okay, interesting.
13:05
Dayna Roselli: And maybe we'll see Adam Levine out and about.
13:08
Sean McAllister: Well, maybe his phone's gonna get locked away in one of those pouches that all of us have to lock our phone away in.
13:16
Dayna Roselli: Oh my god.
13:16
Sean McAllister: I bet his wife would be happy about that.
13:19
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I shouldn't laugh.
13:20
Dayna Roselli: I shouldn't laugh.
13:21
Dayna Roselli: But you know, some of the things that have been going around and the memes, it's hard not to laugh.
13:25
Dayna Roselli: Um, the whole thing is uncomfortable when it comes to all that stuff.
13:29
Dayna Roselli: Sometimes I'm like, uh, cringe, but regardless, like we said, yeah, maroon five, undeniable hits.
13:36
Dayna Roselli: And uh, you know, a lot of people will love to see them live in concert at their new residency at Park MGM.
13:42
Sean McAllister: Maybe his wife will give him a roll of quarters so he can call from a payphone.
13:50
Dayna Roselli: No texting on the payphones, right?
13:52
Dayna Roselli: You can't.
13:53
Sean McAllister: Nope.
13:54
Dayna Roselli: All right.
13:55
Dayna Roselli: Well, I'm sure everyone knows what we're talking about, and if not, Google it.
13:58
Dayna Roselli: Hey, David Blaine's coming to the strip for the first time.
14:01
Dayna Roselli: Sean and I are gonna check out that show this week.
14:03
Dayna Roselli: We're super excited for this.
14:05
Dayna Roselli: He's an incredible illusionist.
14:07
Dayna Roselli: If you've never seen his well, he does all those TV specials, right?
14:12
Sean McAllister: Yeah, he does stunts, illusions.
14:14
Dayna Roselli: I've always been enthralled with him, and I haven't seen actually, I haven't seen him do something recently, but I used to watch all those specials and love it.
14:24
Dayna Roselli: So I'm really looking forward to seeing David Blaine here.
14:26
Dayna Roselli: And I love I think he's a great addition to, you know, uh shows on the strip.
14:30
Dayna Roselli: I mean, he's only doing like, I think like three weekends.
14:32
Dayna Roselli: We talked about this before, and we'll see if he extends.
14:35
Dayna Roselli: But I wonder, I wonder what's gonna happen because you talked about there possibly being an alligator in the show.
14:40
Sean McAllister: Yeah, like an alligator pit.
14:42
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I think.
14:43
Dayna Roselli: Okay.
14:43
Sean McAllister: And you know, what what's really cool is that David Blaine normally does, like you said, uh, do these stunts, illusions in televised specials.
14:54
Sean McAllister: It's very rare.
14:56
Sean McAllister: Well, it's actually his first residency.
14:59
Sean McAllister: It's very rare when he does a show like this um on stage.
15:05
Sean McAllister: So it is a really unique thing to have him here in Vegas.
15:11
Dayna Roselli: It could be the first, too.
15:12
Dayna Roselli: We haven't I haven't looked into it, but it could be the first one.
15:14
Sean McAllister: Very well may be.
15:15
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
15:16
Dayna Roselli: So we'll let you know next week on how we enjoyed uh David Blaine and give you a little bit of detail.
15:22
Dayna Roselli: And we won't spoil it for you though, because we never like to do that, especially when it comes to illusionists.
15:27
Dayna Roselli: Um, Luke Bryan added dates to his shows at Resorts World.
15:32
Dayna Roselli: He added 12 more dates.
15:34
Dayna Roselli: I'm excited about this.
15:35
Dayna Roselli: And I was thinking Luke Bryan, uh, Sean, when you said, I don't think I've ever seen another show where the person didn't change outfits.
15:42
Dayna Roselli: Did Luke Bryan?
15:43
Dayna Roselli: I mean, because you know, he's a dude, but um I don't know if he did.
15:47
Dayna Roselli: I can't remember.
15:49
Sean McAllister: He may have changed jackets, possibly.
15:54
Sean McAllister: But I think he was in jeans and a shirt pretty much the whole time.
15:58
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
15:58
Dayna Roselli: But the one thing that he did have is interacting with the audience a lot.
16:02
Dayna Roselli: And he ran around the whole theater, right?
16:04
Dayna Roselli: He was in the sky, he was running over the ramps.
16:06
Dayna Roselli: So, I mean, that was one thing that it was almost like I don't know, it kept it moving.
16:10
Dayna Roselli: But we loved Luke Bryant.
16:11
Dayna Roselli: You and I were just saying we'd love to see him again at some point, too.
16:14
Dayna Roselli: But excited for Luke to be adding 12 more dates.
16:17
Dayna Roselli: And I feel like he's just gonna keep adding and adding, or he should, because his show is fantastic.
16:20
Sean McAllister: Yeah, I mean, it really is.
16:22
Sean McAllister: It's a great show.
16:23
Sean McAllister: So the new dates are in February, March.
16:26
Sean McAllister: Well, that's the bulk.
16:28
Sean McAllister: And then there's a show on uh April 1st.
16:31
Dayna Roselli: Okay.
16:31
Sean McAllister: And I bet if you go to that show, he'll pull he'll pull an April Fool's joke on you.
16:37
Dayna Roselli: Like maybe he won't show up, though.
16:38
Dayna Roselli: That can be bad.
16:39
Dayna Roselli: Can you imagine?
16:41
Dayna Roselli: Thanks to your ticket sales.
16:43
Dayna Roselli: I'm back here.
16:44
Sean McAllister: He wouldn't, Luke wouldn't do that.
16:46
Dayna Roselli: No, he wouldn't.
16:46
Sean McAllister: He wouldn't.
16:47
Dayna Roselli: And one more thing we wanted to mention is a show that we talked about before, Bat Out of Hell, that's coming to Las Vegas.
16:53
Dayna Roselli: And it's now opened at the Paris Las Vegas.
16:56
Dayna Roselli: Sean and I will also be going to see that show soon.
16:59
Dayna Roselli: Excited that they have a new show in that theater.
17:02
Dayna Roselli: And Sean, interesting too, because Jersey Boys was in that theater for so long.
17:06
Dayna Roselli: They tried other things, but I'm kind of glad there's another kind of musical production in there, like a stage show.
17:12
Sean McAllister: I know it is, it's such a great theater.
17:15
Sean McAllister: It is.
17:16
Sean McAllister: And, you know, now that I feel like Paris, we've talked about this before, has become kind of a dining destination now that they have Martha Stewart, Bobby Flay, Chef Nobu, uh, the Vanderpump, uh Paris, Lisa Vanderpump's places over there.
17:32
Sean McAllister: So they have great spots to go.
17:34
Sean McAllister: It not that they didn't before.
17:36
Sean McAllister: They have, you know, Gordon Ramsey, Mona Miga B.
17:39
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
17:39
Sean McAllister: Um, but now, more than ever, it's a great place for dinner and a show.
17:43
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's a little bit more of a restaurant row in a way, right?
17:46
Dayna Roselli: It is, yeah.
17:46
Dayna Roselli: Yes.
17:47
Dayna Roselli: Hey, side note, you went to um Martha Stewart's restaurant.
17:50
Dayna Roselli: We don't have to get into great detail, and I know you went with some friends and and they bought it and all that kind of thing, but how did you like it?
17:57
Sean McAllister: I liked it.
18:00
Dayna Roselli: That's not very convincing, Sean.
18:03
Sean McAllister: Do you know?
18:03
Sean McAllister: Do you want it to be honest?
18:05
Dayna Roselli: Yes.
18:06
Sean McAllister: The thing that I was most enamored by is the little light in the center of the table.
18:13
Dayna Roselli: Why?
18:13
Dayna Roselli: What is that?
18:14
Dayna Roselli: What is the little light for?
18:15
Sean McAllister: It was like, I don't know.
18:17
Sean McAllister: It it looks like a kind of a little desk light.
18:22
Sean McAllister: Um, it's got like the pedestal base with a thin, you know, pole coming up and a little like triangular little cap on top, but it's just this tiny little LED light inside, but it puts out so much light, and all of us sitting there at the table, we were like, oh my god, this light is great.
18:43
Dayna Roselli: Okay.
18:44
Sean McAllister: It's 150 bucks if you want it.
18:46
Dayna Roselli: Oh, you can buy it?
18:47
Sean McAllister: You can buy it.
18:47
Dayna Roselli: Um because it is like Martha's home, right?
18:49
Sean McAllister: Yeah.
18:50
Dayna Roselli: Okay, so there's like things in there that you can get.
18:52
Dayna Roselli: Interesting.
18:53
Sean McAllister: I think you can buy everything that's in there, as a matter of fact.
18:56
Sean McAllister: All right.
18:57
Sean McAllister: From Martha Stewart's website.
18:58
Dayna Roselli: Okay, interesting, interesting.
19:00
Sean McAllister: Um, but the food was good.
19:01
Sean McAllister: I had uh lemon risotto and scallops, and it was delicious.
19:05
Sean McAllister: Uh, she does.
19:08
Dayna Roselli: I did we just watched that clip of Rosie O'Donnell on TikTok saying that she visited Martha way back when, when she was in prison, and she asked Martha what she missed the most, and Martha said the taste of lemons.
19:24
Dayna Roselli: That's just like this is a total flow conversation.
19:27
Dayna Roselli: This is unplanned.
19:28
Dayna Roselli: But I remember we just saw that TikTok, and we were saying, and she said she sent her a lemon tree when she got out.
19:34
Dayna Roselli: She did.
19:34
Dayna Roselli: So I love that you had the lemon risotto.
19:36
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, the lemon.
19:37
Dayna Roselli: That must be her one of her main specialties.
19:39
Sean McAllister: It was it it was delicious.
19:42
Sean McAllister: Okay, absolutely delicious.
19:43
Sean McAllister: And I had uh a couple old fashions, which were terrific, of course.
19:50
Sean McAllister: Um, and an espresso martini.
19:52
Dayna Roselli: Ooh, yum.
19:53
Dayna Roselli: No wonder you came over all tipsy to Miranda Lambert.
19:56
Sean McAllister: I I know, I almost didn't make it.
20:00
Dayna Roselli: All right, uh, let's move on anyway.
20:02
Dayna Roselli: We're gonna see Bad Out of Hell, uh musical based on Meatloaf.
20:05
Sean McAllister: Oh, that's what we were talking about.
20:07
Dayna Roselli: Coming up here shortly, and then we'll have that in a podcast that will follow.
20:12
Dayna Roselli: But let's talk about Darren Waller now.
20:15
Dayna Roselli: Uh, Darren Waller, tight end for the Las Vegas Raiders, and I'm just gonna cut to the chase, Sean.
20:21
Dayna Roselli: One of the most stunning men I've ever seen in person.
20:24
Dayna Roselli: He is gorgeous, handsome, personable, gorgeous smile.
20:31
Dayna Roselli: So, you know, tall.
20:33
Dayna Roselli: Tall, I'm really tall.
20:35
Dayna Roselli: You know, he's football player body, all that.
20:37
Dayna Roselli: I'm I'm not, you know, all that kind of thing.
20:39
Dayna Roselli: But I don't want to get into all that, even though I just did.
20:42
Dayna Roselli: I just want to say my whole point is when you see someone like that, you you walk up and you think, you know, you're gonna be intimidated.
20:49
Dayna Roselli: Uh, this guy isn't gonna be very personable, but he is nothing but that.
20:53
Dayna Roselli: One of the nicest athletes I've ever met, uh, so personable and so caring.
20:59
Dayna Roselli: And I just I love everything about that because to me, you look at him and you go, okay, that's the total package.
21:05
Dayna Roselli: And and that is um, I always feel like a real role model.
21:10
Sean McAllister: It really is.
21:11
Sean McAllister: And there's nothing but a welcoming vibe that you get when you're around Darren, which might be surprising to people because he's made headlines recently for signing a three-year extension with the Las Vegas Raiders, a deal that's worth$51 million.
21:29
Sean McAllister: So when you have a person who's a pro athlete who is of that stature, you wouldn't expect somebody to be as personable as Darren Waller is.
21:44
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, he is so down to earth.
21:46
Dayna Roselli: And listen, Darren has not held back when it comes to telling his personal story with how drugs and alcohol has affected him.
21:52
Dayna Roselli: He has the Darren Waller Foundation now, where he helps youth that get in those situations, and uh this is.
22:00
Dayna Roselli: Is I think he said the third year, right?
22:02
Dayna Roselli: That he's been doing this gala to raise money for his foundation, which is taking off.
22:09
Dayna Roselli: And gosh, what a story.
22:11
Dayna Roselli: You and I were reading a little bit further.
22:13
Dayna Roselli: We had actually done something with him before, where he was doing some community work with students in a hip hop class that he uh attended, a hip hop class that some of the students take um in partnership with the Metro Police Foundation.
22:28
Dayna Roselli: And we already heard uh parts of his story when he was telling it to the students, but then we dug a little deeper, and both of us just super impressed that he's so open about this.
22:39
Sean McAllister: He is.
22:40
Sean McAllister: It was back in uh 2017 when he was uh suspended from the NFL um for substance abuse.
22:50
Sean McAllister: He uh overdosed, and uh that's really when he hit rock bottom, and he talks about how uh that was like kind of an awakening of sorts for him.
23:02
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and he in basically in high school he started taking painkillers and really, in many ways, never stopped, and things just kept getting worse and worse and spiraling out of control.
23:13
Dayna Roselli: Um, yeah, he overdosed, he said, uh, in his car, woke up sweating, thought, oh my gosh, I'm so scared, and immediately, I guess, got with his family and got into a rehab facility, was there for 30 days, got out, decided I'm not going back down that road.
23:31
Dayna Roselli: I'm determined, got a job at Sprouts, stock and shelves.
23:36
Dayna Roselli: Um, apparently he really enjoyed it.
23:37
Dayna Roselli: I think in this one article we were reading, uh, one of his uh bosses was saying he loved it so much, sometimes he'd forget to even come pick up his paycheck.
23:45
Sean McAllister: Yeah, he said that it was one of the happiest times.
23:48
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
23:49
Dayna Roselli: Um, so he worked at Sprouts, everyone.
23:52
Dayna Roselli: And then finally, when he cleaned up the act, proved himself, went back on the team, Baltimore Ravens, but they put him on the practice squad, right?
24:02
Dayna Roselli: So he wasn't playing full time.
24:04
Dayna Roselli: And then apparently they played the Raiders, Raiders discovered him, they said, Come to our team, and you know the rest of the story.
24:10
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
24:11
Dayna Roselli: So pretty incredible.
24:12
Dayna Roselli: It's a really, I just shortened a very long story, but just to give you an idea, he shares that story over and over.
24:18
Sean McAllister: Yeah, and that is the the backstory really of the the Darren Waller Foundation, which, you know, the goal is to educate kids to avoid substance abuse, drug, and alcohol abuse.
24:32
Sean McAllister: Um, but if kids have already gone down that road, they provide grants to cover uh rehab and associated costs uh for the kids and for families.
24:44
Sean McAllister: And there's a lot of follow-up that's done.
24:47
Sean McAllister: Darren actually recently just went and visited with uh the kids who are in rehab right now because of the grants that his foundation gave out.
24:57
Sean McAllister: So he is is in it.
24:59
Sean McAllister: He is personally not just putting his name on a foundation, he is so passionate about this.
25:06
Dayna Roselli: He really is.
25:06
Dayna Roselli: So we we were able to catch up with Darren and uh pull him aside.
25:10
Dayna Roselli: We talked a little bit about the foundation, also about how much he's enjoying Las Vegas, some of his favorite spots, and even some of his new music that he's just put out there.
25:20
Dayna Roselli: I'm so excited to be here and just hear more about the foundation.
25:22
Dayna Roselli: First of all, let's talk about the foundation.
25:24
Dayna Roselli: This is super important to you, and we've seen as Las Vegans that you've really embraced this.
25:29
SPEAKER_01: Uh yeah, it's it's an honor to serve in this community, just to really be a part of it.
25:33
SPEAKER_01: Uh like this third year of the Beyond the Wall events really shows it's three years of support from people.
25:40
SPEAKER_01: People willingly showing up and giving, people showing enthusiasm and support for all the programs that we try to do.
25:46
SPEAKER_01: And uh it's really changing people's lives.
25:48
SPEAKER_01: So to see that happen in three years is uh it's really amazing.
25:51
SPEAKER_01: You can't ask for anything better than that.
25:53
Sean McAllister: And uh Darren, why is it important for you to have such a strong commitment to the Las Vegas community and to youth of Las Vegas?
26:01
SPEAKER_01: Um I feel like for me, uh giving to other people is really what gives me the feeling that I've been looking for my whole life, you know.
26:08
SPEAKER_01: I was I was getting high like a lot of people that are in the programs getting scholarships, and it's like we're all just searching for a feeling.
26:14
SPEAKER_01: And I feel like giving is really that feeling that as human beings, we are we able to change somebody else's life, touch their life.
26:19
SPEAKER_01: That gives us that feeling of fulfillment.
26:21
SPEAKER_01: And uh, you know, it keeps me in things that are going good in this world and just having a positive impact.
26:26
SPEAKER_01: So I really try to keep that at the forefront no matter how busy my schedule is, you know.
26:29
SPEAKER_01: I want to make sure that's a priority of my life because it makes me feel good and it makes the world benefit in the process.
26:34
Dayna Roselli: We have a lot of people that listen to the podcast from all over the world, really, all over the country, um, that love Las Vegas.
26:39
Dayna Roselli: What do you love about Las Vegas?
26:41
SPEAKER_01: Oh man, uh I love the people first and foremost.
26:44
SPEAKER_01: Um I love the the neighborhoods outside of the strip.
26:47
SPEAKER_01: You know, people come in and they're on the strip and the strip is amazing and everything, but they have no idea the neighborhoods of you know, Summerlin and Henderson and all the little pockets in in between those and the the local restaurants and you know I just love everything that the Las Vegas locals love now that I'm getting to you know pick their brains and their point me where to go.
27:05
SPEAKER_01: Uh so really restaurants, people, just the neighborhoods outside of the strip, but the strip as well, of course.
27:10
Sean McAllister: And and do you have any hot spots that that you go to that are like your your go-to places?
27:16
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
27:17
SPEAKER_01: Um I'm definitely you'll catch me at Hanks at uh Green Valley Ranch Casino a lot more than not.
27:23
SPEAKER_01: Uh Pizza Rock is there as well.
27:25
SPEAKER_01: Um you got Sushi Hero right there on Eastern, is one of my favorite spots.
27:29
SPEAKER_01: Uh just to name a few scrambled on St.
27:31
SPEAKER_01: Rose for brunch, you'll you'll see me around.
27:34
Dayna Roselli: And you know, a lot of people listen to podcasts, listen to music.
27:37
Dayna Roselli: So tell us about we saw your Instagram.
27:39
Dayna Roselli: You got a new song out, right?
27:40
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I have a new song out.
27:41
SPEAKER_01: It's called Unfazed.
27:42
SPEAKER_01: Um something that the idea came to me when we were on the way to uh throw in the offseason at this park that we throw out here in Vegas, and uh it came to me and I was just mumbling it, and then I just came into a song, and it's really, you know, especially the hook, it talks about how like, you know, I've been hit with some things in my life, but you know, I'm still here.
28:00
SPEAKER_01: I'm st it didn't phase me.
28:01
SPEAKER_01: It may have knocked me down, it may have, but it didn't take me out for good.
28:04
SPEAKER_01: So that's probably the motivation behind the song.
28:06
Sean McAllister: So inspiration really does strike just about anywhere.
28:09
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it could be anywhere.
28:10
SPEAKER_01: It could be waiting in the shopping lines having before, uh just sitting on the couch, watching something on TV.
28:15
SPEAKER_01: Um when I worked at Sprouts, I would hear a song on the uh while I'm working, and it'd be like, oh wow, I can f I can sample that, I can do this, I can do that.
28:23
SPEAKER_01: So it's really anywhere I try to keep my mind open.
28:25
Dayna Roselli: Well, listen, we love having you here in Las Vegas.
28:27
Dayna Roselli: You've done so much for the community.
28:28
Dayna Roselli: We love to see you out and about.
28:29
Dayna Roselli: We love you playing for the Raiders, so thanks for taking the time with us.
28:31
SPEAKER_01: Oh no, absolutely.
28:32
SPEAKER_01: Appreciate you guys.
28:34
Sean McAllister: Darren is such a fun guy.
28:35
Sean McAllister: He was so appreciative that that we were there to talk with him, but we were like, no, we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us.
28:43
Dayna Roselli: Absolutely.
28:44
Dayna Roselli: And if you want to see more of Darren, hear more from Darren as well.
28:48
Dayna Roselli: A new episode just dropped of Real Sports on HBO.
28:52
Dayna Roselli: And it focuses on Waller's own recovery along with many ways that he's now helping others, even just watching the trailer.
29:00
Dayna Roselli: We're actually recording this on the day that it's going to come out, so we haven't watched it yet, but even watching the trailer is captivated.
29:06
Dayna Roselli: So interesting.
29:07
Sean McAllister: Yeah, I think watching this is going to give you uh a new appreciation for the guy that you watch on the football field doing great things every Sunday.
29:18
Sean McAllister: So uh real sports on HBO featuring Darren Waller.
29:22
Dayna Roselli: Hey, and by the way, Sean, we share the same birthday, me and Darren.
29:25
Sean McAllister: Oh, happy belated to you and Darren.
29:28
Dayna Roselli: We are Virgos.
29:29
Dayna Roselli: I knew he was a good guy.
29:31
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we're 17 years apart, but guess who's older?
29:35
Dayna Roselli: Anyway, happy birthday to Darren, who just had a September birthday.
29:39
Dayna Roselli: And again, uh, if you want to hear more about Darren, go to that HBO Real Sports special that Sean just mentioned there toward the end.
29:46
Dayna Roselli: And I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
29:47
Sean McAllister: And also for more on the Darren Waller Foundation, you can go to Darrenwaller.org.
29:53
Sean McAllister: Let's get to our tips.
29:57
Dayna Roselli: All right, Sean, I've been dying to talk about this place I found.
30:02
Dayna Roselli: And I kept putting it off because we had other things going on week after week.
30:05
Dayna Roselli: But this is a little Mexican restaurant I found.
30:08
Dayna Roselli: It's actually right near me, and I can't believe I didn't know it was there.
30:12
Sean McAllister: Like almost within walking distance, right?
30:14
Dayna Roselli: Yes.
30:15
Dayna Roselli: So there's, you know, I live um in a high-rise and it's kind of Central Vegas, just to the north of the Westgate.
30:21
Dayna Roselli: But um, as you go east, you know, the community is it's a little bit older, let's put it that way, because it's kind of Central Vegas, is really where Las Vegas began.
30:30
Dayna Roselli: So it gets older on the east side, gets newer as you go west, because that's how they built to the west and to the north.
30:37
Dayna Roselli: Um, so it's an older neighborhood, but there's a couple different kind of like plaza-ish square areas there.
30:44
Dayna Roselli: One's called Commercial Center that is known for a lot of different things.
30:48
Dayna Roselli: It has a great Thai restaurant in it.
30:51
Dayna Roselli: Um, Tiffany Cleaners was there for a very long time, and that was like the cleaners to the stars because all the show costumes would go there.
30:59
Dayna Roselli: Um, there's a great longtime jeweler in there, all sorts of different things.
31:03
Dayna Roselli: But there is a Mexican restaurant there that I discovered with a girlfriend of mine that lives in my building where, like, we wanted to go to Mexican and wanted to go someplace close.
31:11
Dayna Roselli: So we went over there, and it looks like this cute little, just like Mexican house on the outside with this cute decor.
31:19
Dayna Roselli: It's in a plaza and it's called La Bensidad.
31:23
Dayna Roselli: And what it means, actually, I looked it up.
31:27
Dayna Roselli: In Mexico, there are a lot of like shared housing and communities, so it's kind of like the patio is kind of the central, and then there's several rooms around it.
31:35
Sean McAllister: Oh, okay.
31:36
Dayna Roselli: And that's exactly what you get when you go in.
31:38
Dayna Roselli: Really?
31:38
Dayna Roselli: I don't even know where to start, so I need to run through this.
31:41
Dayna Roselli: But when you walk in, Sean, it's like this area that you think is kind of the dining room.
31:45
Dayna Roselli: There's some tables out there, fun, like colorful dolls all over knick-knacks.
31:52
Dayna Roselli: Um just it's like you're in Mexico.
31:56
Dayna Roselli: There's all sorts of just Mexican stuff all around.
32:00
Dayna Roselli: But you think that's a room.
32:02
Dayna Roselli: Then you walk into this other room, and that's actually the main dining room, and it literally looks like you're in someone's home.
32:08
Dayna Roselli: There's a couple of long tables, or smaller tables, but even painted on the wall is like a red door and uh some decor on the walls, and just super festive.
32:19
Dayna Roselli: The ceiling kind of looks like a sky.
32:22
Dayna Roselli: So it's like you're out in this patio atmosphere sharing a meal with a lot of people that you don't know, but it kind of feels like you're sitting down for family dinner.
32:32
Sean McAllister: So it's a fun atmosphere, though.
32:34
Dayna Roselli: It's so fun.
32:35
Dayna Roselli: Now, listen, the staff, some speak English, some do not, um, but they are so much fun because they'll laugh when they can't pick up on what you're saying, and then they'll call someone over that can speak English.
32:45
Dayna Roselli: And so they have they're lighthearted, sometimes they're in costume.
32:49
Dayna Roselli: If somebody orders something what kind of costume?
32:51
Dayna Roselli: Like like Mexican, whatever the theme is of that weekend night, you don't know what it's gonna be.
32:56
Dayna Roselli: They change all the time.
32:57
Dayna Roselli: I've gone in a few times and there's different stuff going on.
33:00
Dayna Roselli: They roll around and and sell some little kind of fun uh uh keychains and stuff like that by your table, like you're at a kind of a Mexican market.
33:10
Dayna Roselli: When you order something hot, they bring out the uh they roll it out with the siren.
33:14
Dayna Roselli: The siren starts going.
33:16
Sean McAllister: Stop it.
33:16
Sean McAllister: Like a like the fire truck siren.
33:18
Dayna Roselli: Yes, a fire truck siren, and you're like, oh, somebody ordered something hot.
33:22
Dayna Roselli: Um, it's on East Sahara, right near Cairn.
33:25
Dayna Roselli: Or excuse me, I'm saying that wrong.
33:27
Dayna Roselli: It's just south of East Sahara.
33:29
Dayna Roselli: You can get there by driving through there, but it's actually at Karen and Paradise.
33:33
Dayna Roselli: Um it's down the road, let's put it that way, of Cairn.
33:38
Dayna Roselli: It's not right at the intersection of Karen and Paradise.
33:40
Dayna Roselli: So um head east on Cairn before you get to Maryland Parkway, and it's there.
33:46
Dayna Roselli: But if you've never um been, you've got to try it.
33:49
Dayna Roselli: It's listen, the food's great.
33:51
Dayna Roselli: It's a little bit slightly more expensive than your typical casual Mexican restaurant.
33:57
Dayna Roselli: The fried ice cream is unreal, and they came, they come and they light it right on fire in front of you.
34:02
Dayna Roselli: The Mexican coffee is delicious.
34:04
Dayna Roselli: You get a cinnamon stick on there, brown sugar around the rim of your coffee cup, and your coffee cup is like an old, authentic, like clay Mexican coffee cup, and it's sweetened with some brown sugar.
34:17
Dayna Roselli: It's almost like a cinnamon brown sugar taste.
34:20
Dayna Roselli: Um, they have great soup.
34:23
Dayna Roselli: They just started serving beer and wine just a couple weeks ago, and so that's a new kind of addition.
34:30
Dayna Roselli: I could go on and on, but anyway, check it out.
34:33
Dayna Roselli: Um, it's fabulous.
34:34
Dayna Roselli: It's fabulous if you want a fun experience and literally want to feel like you just traveled to Mexico.
34:38
Sean McAllister: And what is it called again?
34:40
Dayna Roselli: La Vensidad.
34:41
Dayna Roselli: I don't know.
34:42
Dayna Roselli: I'm saying it, I'm trying to say it as much as I can.
34:43
Dayna Roselli: How about if I spell it out too?
34:45
Sean McAllister: Okay.
34:46
Dayna Roselli: It is L A V-E-C-I-N-D-A-D.
34:51
Dayna Roselli: They're on Instagram and they have a really fun account.
34:53
Dayna Roselli: They shared one of my videos that I did there, so but I looked it up.
34:57
Dayna Roselli: I had to Google it to make sure that I said it right, and that's how you pronounce it.
35:01

35:28
Dayna Roselli: And then they know us now, and like it's so sweet.
35:30
Dayna Roselli: They have a fun little hopscotch you can do in the right in the first room there.
35:34
Dayna Roselli: Oh, because it kind of represents like that shared community thing.
35:37
Dayna Roselli: Right, like that.
35:38
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so it's interesting.
35:39
Sean McAllister: Oh, good tip.
35:40
Sean McAllister: Yeah, good food, good atmosphere.
35:42
Sean McAllister: Love it.
35:43
Sean McAllister: Um, so this is something that we talked about last week, and we were planning on doing last week.
35:49
Sean McAllister: Um, but due to circumstances, we didn't.
35:52
Dayna Roselli: We didn't.
35:52
Dayna Roselli: I forgot to bring the beer over.
35:55
Sean McAllister: We are doing a taste test of the Vegas Vicky Blonde Ale.
36:01
Dayna Roselli: Now, this is brand new, and it's in partnership with Circa Las Vegas and Abel Baker Brewing Company.
36:08
Dayna Roselli: They created the beer, they're partnering with Circa.
36:11
Dayna Roselli: Um, and you can exclusively get it at Circa, which is great because you know they have the huge Vegas Vicky sign in the middle of Circa.
36:19
Dayna Roselli: So it kind of complements that.
36:21
Dayna Roselli: There's a bunch of bars, and especially the Vegas Vicky bar that you can get this beer at.
36:26
Dayna Roselli: And I think they only sell it in, what are we doing?
36:29
Dayna Roselli: A nine-ounce can?
36:30
Dayna Roselli: I think we're doing a nine-ounce.
36:31
Dayna Roselli: Oh, it's a 16-ounce can.
36:32
Dayna Roselli: 16 ounce, sorry, and it's nine dollars.
36:34
Dayna Roselli: Nine dollars, there we go.
36:35
Dayna Roselli: Nine dollars for a 16-ounce can.
36:37
Sean McAllister: And a 16-ounce can like is enough to get you through an hour and a half show.
36:42
Dayna Roselli: It is.
36:42
Dayna Roselli: I mean, I've got a little teeny bit because I'm I'm not a huge day drinker and we're recording during the day.
36:48
Sean McAllister: And I've got a pint.
36:49
Dayna Roselli: And Sean's got a pint.
36:51
Dayna Roselli: Go to our social media to see what this looks like.
36:54
Dayna Roselli: And we're uh we're trying it out.
36:56
Dayna Roselli: We better try it while we still got the fizz going, right?
36:58
Dayna Roselli: Should we cheers first?
36:59
Dayna Roselli: Okay, let's cheers.
37:00
Dayna Roselli: Here we go.
37:02
Dayna Roselli: Did you hear that or like that sound effect?
37:04
Dayna Roselli: I like that.
37:04
Dayna Roselli: Here we go.
37:10
Sean McAllister: Ooh, that's almost got a like a citrusy refreshing taste to it.
37:15
Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's definitely light, hence the blonde, right?
37:18
Dayna Roselli: Is that what it means usually when it's a blonde beer?
37:20
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
37:20
Dayna Roselli: It's a little bit lighter, just like when I get blonde roast at Starbucks.
37:23
Sean McAllister: Exactly.
37:25
Sean McAllister: But side note, did you know that the light roast of coffee is actually uh the most caffeinated?
37:31
Sean McAllister: Oh no, I didn't.
37:32
Sean McAllister: A dark roast has less caffeine than a light roast.
37:35
Sean McAllister: Interesting, interesting.
37:37
Sean McAllister: Back to beer.
37:37
Dayna Roselli: Back to beer in the blonde.
37:39
Dayna Roselli: Um, yeah, this is definitely very light, but refreshing.
37:42
Dayna Roselli: You're right.
37:42
Dayna Roselli: It's got a refreshing taste to it.
37:45
Sean McAllister: We're each taking another sip of it.
37:47
Dayna Roselli: No, no, we're taking sips.
37:48
Dayna Roselli: We're leaving it on.
37:50
Dayna Roselli: It's good.
37:51
Dayna Roselli: It's good.
37:51
Dayna Roselli: It does remind me a little bit, I'm not gonna lie, of my college days.
37:55
Sean McAllister: Does it?
37:56
Dayna Roselli: It does.
37:56
Dayna Roselli: It's got kind of that, and I think because I drank a lot of light beer in college before like craft breweries and and IPAs, you know what I mean and all that kind of stuff became popular or I couldn't afford it anyway.
38:08
Dayna Roselli: Um, but this it doesn't taste cheap.
38:10
Dayna Roselli: It tastes very refreshing, and like you said, it's got that little Yeah, it's like a lemony citrus.
38:15
Dayna Roselli: Citrus.
38:16
Dayna Roselli: That's right.
38:18
Sean McAllister: Lemon lime, I feel like it might be more limey than lemony.
38:21
Dayna Roselli: If that's a word, right?
38:24
Sean McAllister: Let me have another sip to make sure.
38:27
Dayna Roselli: Ooh.
38:28
Sean McAllister: I'm getting more lime.
38:29
Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
38:30
Dayna Roselli: See, already that little thing.
38:31
Dayna Roselli: I'm like, all right, feeling good.
38:33
Sean McAllister: Oh, you chugged your shot.
38:34
Dayna Roselli: I'm a lightweight.
38:35
Sean McAllister: You're your one ounce.
38:38
Dayna Roselli: My one ounce.
38:39
Dayna Roselli: Um, yeah, it's really good.
38:40
Dayna Roselli: I like it.
38:41
Dayna Roselli: It's refreshing.
38:42
Dayna Roselli: So if you're going, if you really like the darker, sharp beers, this probably isn't the one, but I think you know that going in, knowing it's Vegas Vicky Blonde.
38:49
Sean McAllister: But for a light, uh, a light L, I think this has a ton of flavor.
38:53
Dayna Roselli: It does.
38:54
Dayna Roselli: Very flavorful.
38:55
Sean McAllister: Which is nice.
38:55
