  Sean McAllister: So I know that there was uh we did re receive a couple comments from people who don't live in Las Vegas and they were like, oh, but I wish I could see the show.
• 1:23
  Sean McAllister: Well, you will be able to because our shows, like Dana said, are going to be posted on our Vegas Revealed YouTube channel as well as air on TV here in Las Vegas.
• 1:34
  Sean McAllister: And Fox Five is the longtime uh broadcast, my longtime broadcast home.
• 1:40
  Sean McAllister: That's where I worked for 15 years before uh leaving to start Insightful Media and Vegas Revealed with you, Dana.
• 1:49
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 1:50
  Dayna Roselli: So you're just you're going home.
• 1:51
  Dayna Roselli: But the thing is, we actually aren't gonna enter the Fox Five building.
• 1:55
  Dayna Roselli: Uh we're gonna continue to do exactly what we do.
• 1:57
  Dayna Roselli: We're basically handing over our show to Fox Five.
• 2:00
  Dayna Roselli: They love the content and they said, Hey, can we run this on the weekend?
• 2:03
  Dayna Roselli: We're like, sure, we struck up a deal.
• 2:05
  Dayna Roselli: And um, so we're gonna still bring you, you know, the content that we want to provide, the things that we want to say, the topics that we want to cover.
• 2:15
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but it will air once a weekend, maybe twice actually, on Fox Five.
• 2:20
  Dayna Roselli: So it's exciting, and maybe it will go, you know, further after that.
• 2:23
  Dayna Roselli: We aren't sure, but we're we're starting here.
• 2:25
  Dayna Roselli: We're still gonna be doing our segments on KCal CBS in in Los Angeles.
• 2:30
  Dayna Roselli: We are still uh running our company, Insightful Media, where we we're doing some media training soon here coming up in March.
• 2:36
  Dayna Roselli: We're doing a big project with Olympia Foundation, a video.
• 2:39
  Dayna Roselli: So everything will run the same, but now we're gonna have a TV show.
• 2:44
  Sean McAllister: Exactly.
• 2:44
  Sean McAllister: I did have some uh former colleagues reach out and be like, oh my gosh, I can't wait to see you around the building more.
• 2:51
  Sean McAllister: And where are you guys gonna, what days are you coming in to record?
• 2:55
  Sean McAllister: And um, I had to break the news like, no, we're not employees, we have a programming deal.
• 3:01
  Sean McAllister: That's what the situation is.
• 3:04
  Sean McAllister: But it's good to uh reconnect and you know, kind of have that, like you said, full circle moment and be back on the air at Fox Five coming in March.
• 3:14
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and so we will do a specific television version because you know, we've got to throw in commercials and things like that.
• 3:20
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and it's a you know a certain time limit and a 30-minute program.
• 3:24
  Dayna Roselli: But what's not gonna change is this podcast.
• 3:27
  Dayna Roselli: We are still gonna continue to do our audio podcast, and it's gonna be just the way that we do it now.
• 3:32
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it has gonna be different than the television show.
• 3:35
  Dayna Roselli: Television show will cover some, you know, cross topics and stuff like that, some of the same things, but we'll still be on Apple, Spotify, Google, iHeart, all of that, and we aren't going anywhere.
• 3:44
  Sean McAllister: No, we are not.
• 3:45
  Sean McAllister: And um, I think we mentioned this last week as well.
• 3:49
  Sean McAllister: But a huge thank you uh to all of you who have listened and supported uh the Vegas Revealed audio podcast.
• 3:58
  Sean McAllister: Because of your support, we've been able to uh branch out and develop a TV version of what we do here.
• 4:06
  Sean McAllister: So we could not be more grateful to all of you who have listened and supported.
• 4:12
  Sean McAllister: Um, we're excited for what's to come.
• 4:14
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 4:14
  Dayna Roselli: And the subscribers, we love you, we we appreciate your donations.
• 4:18
  Dayna Roselli: Because of that, we're able to keep the audio podcast going.
• 4:20
  Dayna Roselli: We know a lot of people like to listen to things in their ears too, you know, work out or drive in the car.
• 4:25
  Dayna Roselli: And audio is really how pod podcasting started.
• 4:29
  Dayna Roselli: So um we are developing uh an entertainment television show that is the Vegas revealed podcast format where we can be more open and talk about topics instead of reading news stories.
• 4:41
  Dayna Roselli: That'll be the exactly that'll be the difference there.
• 4:43
  Dayna Roselli: So also this audio podcast, by the way, is sponsored by the Vegas Near Me app.
• 4:48
  Dayna Roselli: If you haven't downloaded that yet, it's available, it's free, and we have a link in our show notes and always in our link uh LinkedIn bio, or excuse me, our link tree bio that's on all our social medias.
• 5:01
  Sean McAllister: And Dana, we wanted to talk about something that I know uh each of us know people who are like over the moon excited about rugby coming to Las Vegas.
• 5:11
  Sean McAllister: Each year we have a big rugby tournament.
• 5:14
  Sean McAllister: Um, but this year there's an additional rugby tournament that is coming to Allegiant Stadium.
• 5:20
  Dayna Roselli: Again, I just saw today Russell Crowe really pushing it on Twitter, and it reminded me, hey, we got to talk about this.
• 5:27
  Dayna Roselli: I have friends coming in from San Diego.
• 5:29
  Dayna Roselli: I know I was talking talking with the folks over at Resorts World, and I think they are the host hotel for the team.
• 5:34
  Dayna Roselli: And she said they did a walkthrough, and she goes, man, these guys were tall and like walking through the casino, and everyone was like knew who they were, and like it's a big deal.
• 5:43
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, Oh, yeah, we got to talk about this.
• 5:45
  Dayna Roselli: So it's the National Rugby League.
• 5:47
  Dayna Roselli: They're gonna be doing a double header.
• 5:49
  Dayna Roselli: This is on Saturday, March 2nd, and so that'll be really fun.
• 5:53
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, two matches back to back.
• 5:55
  Dayna Roselli: It's at Allegiant Stadium, the home of Super Bowl 58.
• 5:59
  Dayna Roselli: So uh I know a lot of people are coming in for this, and if you want to grab tickets, you still got time.
• 6:04
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, and there are a ton of rugby fans.
• 6:08
  Sean McAllister: Whenever we have rugby events here in town, I know that I mean it sells out.
• 6:15
  Sean McAllister: We have a lot of rugby fans living here in Las Vegas and a lot of rugby fans who travel to Las Vegas to watch the sport.
• 6:23
  Sean McAllister: So I have a feeling this will be no different and a great matchup.
• 6:27
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I mean, it's so huge, you know, obviously in Australia and around the world.
• 6:31
  Dayna Roselli: And I was looking up like, what does Russell Crowe have to do with it?
• 6:34
  Dayna Roselli: Well, he's a lifelong fan, and I think he's got a little bit, uh, he owns a little part of and is invested in the rabbitoes.
• 6:41
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know if I'm saying it right, but the sea eagles are taking on the rabbitows, and the roosters are going head to head with the Broncos on this matchup.
• 6:50
  Dayna Roselli: So I don't know, rabbitoes?
• 6:52
  Dayna Roselli: What do you think?
• 6:52
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 6:53
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 6:54
  Sean McAllister: Rabbit rabbit o's.
• 6:55
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 6:56
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 6:57
  Sean McAllister: Close enough.
• 6:57
  Dayna Roselli: I would say if I'm wrong, write me.
• 7:00
  Dayna Roselli: Let me know.
• 7:01
  Sean McAllister: Um, speaking of writing and letting you know things, Dana, you had a a viewer that reached out about um a recent experience here in Las Vegas.
• 7:11
  Dayna Roselli: Well, no, they didn't reach out, Sean.
• 7:12
  Dayna Roselli: Actually, they left us a review, and this is what we talked about last time.
• 7:16
  Dayna Roselli: Write us a note, let us know how you feel.
• 7:18
  Dayna Roselli: They gave us four stars, so I appreciated that.
• 7:21
  Dayna Roselli: Not five.
• 7:22
  Dayna Roselli: I think they took away a star, and they were, by the way, a listener from Canada.
• 7:27
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, because he said that he was upset that I well, he didn't say he's upset with.
• 7:31
  Dayna Roselli: I'm exaggerating there, but uh, in so many words, he basically said that I had all these girls in for the Bachelorette and I recommended them staying at the Sahara that I should know better.
• 7:41
  Dayna Roselli: And so we only got four stars instead of five, but I'll take the four because that's good too.
• 7:46
  Dayna Roselli: So then I read that and I went, but anyway, here's the deal.
• 7:49
  Dayna Roselli: I'm sticking to my plan because the girls slept in the room.
• 7:54
  Dayna Roselli: By the way, they love the beds.
• 7:55
  Dayna Roselli: They said they were super comfortable, and they got ready in the room for an hour, and that's about how much time they spent in the room.
• 8:03
  Dayna Roselli: So that was the point of me suggesting the Sahara, is because I didn't want a big, massive, like you've got 10 girls, like, hey, meet you down at the end of the hall, you know, go to MGM Grand and all those other ones.
• 8:15
  Dayna Roselli: It's like such a long walk to get to anywhere.
• 8:18
  Dayna Roselli: Something boutique, something small, where they could be like, meet you downstairs and let's head to the Ubers, you know.
• 8:24
  Dayna Roselli: So, um, and I knew they weren't gonna be in the rooms very long, and we were spending so much money on other things.
• 8:29
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, we went to S, you know, XS Nightclub.
• 8:32
  Dayna Roselli: We had a table, we went to Thunder from Down Under, we had a nice dinner, it was a super freaky.
• 8:37
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 8:38
  Dayna Roselli: The last thing they wanted to do was spend a lot on a room when they were here for literally 24 hours that they weren't going to be in.
• 8:43
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 8:44
  Dayna Roselli: If we were doing if they were here longer and we were gonna do the whole Vegas experience that was centered around a hotel, I might have picked something, you know, different, but we just wanted something where they could stay.
• 8:55
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 8:55
  Sean McAllister: And I know that proximity uh factored into the decision making and staying there as well.
• 9:02
  Sean McAllister: Um, but the point, again, to bring it back around is that if you take issue with something that you hear on the podcast or you maybe have a different opinion about Vegas experiences, email us.
• 9:18
  Sean McAllister: Or email us ideas at vegas-revealed.com or on any number of social media platforms, send us a message.
• 9:27
  Dayna Roselli: Some place we can answer.
• 9:29
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 9:29
  Dayna Roselli: It's so frustrating when we can't answer.
• 9:31
  Dayna Roselli: Someone on our Spotify commented on a podcast that we did about the Fountain Blue, and it was right after the tour that we did.
• 9:37
  Dayna Roselli: And we even said in the show notes, like, hey, we want to have uh do this podcast sitting in the car while we remember everything because we weren't allowed to take video.
• 9:48
  Dayna Roselli: And while we've got our mental notes on check because it and we said this isn't gonna be the best audio quality, right?
• 9:55
  Dayna Roselli: We recognized we didn't have our professional mics with us.
• 9:57
  Dayna Roselli: We use these little lobs that you plug into the phone, and that but we thought, you know, whatever, we're getting out our first look and whatever.
• 10:04
  Dayna Roselli: And the person commented on that you know, we should do better, and usually our auto audio quality is better, and they were disappointed.
• 10:09
  Dayna Roselli: I'm like, did you not hear what we said?
• 10:12
  Sean McAllister: And read the notes because the show notes usually have some good context as well.
• 10:16
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we were aware of that, but you know, we could have not done anything because we had like a shoot or something for our business after that, and we were gonna go do something else, and then by the time we would have got to it, it would have been the next day.
• 10:27
  Dayna Roselli: And so anyway, you're right.
• 10:29
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, someplace we can respond.
• 10:31
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, communicate with us, yeah.
• 10:33
  Sean McAllister: And listen, the number of stars you want to give is is up to you, but if there's a conversation that we can have, let's have a conversation.
• 10:42
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 10:43
  Dayna Roselli: We're all about it.
• 10:43
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 10:44
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, we're communicators as we do for our whole life.
• 10:47
  Dayna Roselli: Um, okay, we mentioned rugby.
• 10:48
  Dayna Roselli: I I wanted to mention before we started the podcast, just two little items.
• 10:51
  Dayna Roselli: Smith Center is gonna be announcing their Broadway series soon, and that's our exciting.
• 10:55
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, that's our art center here in Las Vegas.
• 10:57
  Dayna Roselli: I know you go see a lot of shows there.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 10:59
  Dayna Roselli: And then also Smoke and Mirrors is opening this week, and that is the approved cannabis lounge.
• 11:07
  Sean McAllister: Consumption lounge.
• 11:08
  Dayna Roselli: Consumption lounge that uh is gonna be the first of its kind in Las Vegas, and so it's a big deal.
• 11:15
  Dayna Roselli: They're gonna have uh what can't cannabis, you know, uh a cocktail craft program, craft cocktail program.
• 11:22
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I think they even have food inside.
• 11:24
  Dayna Roselli: It looks really nice, like a little bit of an upscale lounge.
• 11:27
  Dayna Roselli: So um I did get invited to go there and check it out on opening night.
• 11:31
  Dayna Roselli: I'm not sure if I'm gonna make it, but if I do, I will definitely talk about that next week.
• 11:35
  Sean McAllister: But that is a good uh that's a good thing for people to know that it is opening because we do have so many dispensaries, not only on the Las Vegas strip, but in the surrounding areas.
• 11:46
  Sean McAllister: Um, and I know that you know people have commented like, oh, I smell, you know, pot smoke everywhere these days.
• 11:54
  Sean McAllister: Um so this is the first consumption lounge that has been approved and is now opening um near the resort corridor.
• 12:03
  Sean McAllister: So not that it's going to alleviate people smoking pot out in public areas, but um it gives a destination for people who want to go and you know be in an environment where that's allowed.
• 12:19
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, where that's allowed.
• 12:20
  Dayna Roselli: So it'll be interesting to see how that goes.
• 12:21
  Dayna Roselli: Um we'll be following that for sure.
• 12:24
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, I went to the Pinky Ring, um, Bruno Ma's new cocktail lounge over at the Bellagio, and um, you're not allowed to bring phones in.
• 12:33
  Dayna Roselli: We talked about that, but you are allowed to bring phones in.
• 12:35
  Dayna Roselli: So I'm gonna correct that sentence.
• 12:37
  Dayna Roselli: It says no phones allowed on the sign.
• 12:39
  Dayna Roselli: Um, you can bring your phone in.
• 12:40
  Dayna Roselli: I just want to clarify, you just are encouraged not to take photos and videos and asked not to.
• 12:46
  Dayna Roselli: Um, that's something that Bruno doesn't want people to do.
• 12:49
  Dayna Roselli: And if anybody spots you doing that, uh a couple people have commented under our TikTok saying, Oh, I've seen videos from inside, and and maybe people are sneaking one here or there and not following along and having respect for what the rules are inside.
• 13:02
  Dayna Roselli: And so you might see some videos floating around, but you are asked not to take photos and videos at the Pinky Ring.
• 13:10
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 13:11
  Sean McAllister: So if you do look at uh our Vegas revealed Instagram, um, there is uh video and some photos that are posted up there of the inside so you can see what it's like.
• 13:23
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 13:23
  Dayna Roselli: MGM Resorts International sent us some approved video.
• 13:26
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 13:26
  Dayna Roselli: So we got that on.
• 13:28
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, I went, but listen, here's the deal.
• 13:30
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and I talked a little bit about it on Instagram.
• 13:32
  Dayna Roselli: I loved it.
• 13:33
  Dayna Roselli: I love not being able to take photos and video.
• 13:36
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and I know we're creators and we have a podcast, and it's always good to get that stuff, but because of that, my mind is always thinking that.
• 13:43
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 13:43
  Dayna Roselli: So a lot of times when we go to these things, I'm always, I feel like in our heads, both of us, are working, right?
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 13:50
  Dayna Roselli: And so it was nice to go in, take it in, enjoy it, watch people enjoying it.
• 13:56
  Dayna Roselli: The dance floor was packed because people were not on their phones.
• 14:00
  Dayna Roselli: They were dancing, they were laughing, they were talking with their friends.
• 14:03
  Dayna Roselli: The hooligans, Bruno's band that's there for two weeks now, uh, probably only a week left at this point, are incredible.
• 14:10
  Dayna Roselli: Incredible.
• 14:11
  Dayna Roselli: And I love it.
• 14:11
  Dayna Roselli: They don't have a singer because Bruno's not there.
• 14:13
  Dayna Roselli: So it's just the band, but they play songs that everyone knows.
• 14:17
  Dayna Roselli: It's like Earth, Wind, and Fire, and they play Bruno songs and everything that you recognize.
• 14:23
  Dayna Roselli: And so uh the crowd loved it.
• 14:25
  Sean McAllister: So do you end up kind of becoming the de facto singer for the band?
• 14:30
  Sean McAllister: The audience.
• 14:30
  Sean McAllister: Yes.
• 14:31
  Sean McAllister: Because I feel like people would start singing along.
• 14:33
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, it no, it's true.
• 14:35
  Dayna Roselli: And it's a great vibe, Sean.
• 14:37
  Dayna Roselli: And we had a little table, they have tables of different amounts, and then there's like these couch areas, and then they have a dance floor, but there's also plenty of people that were just standing up near the bar, the bar's in the back.
• 14:47
  Dayna Roselli: It's dimly lit, it's beautiful.
• 14:49
  Dayna Roselli: When you walk in the hallway to get into the um cocktail lounge, Bruno's Grammys line the wall behind glass.
• 14:57
  Sean McAllister: Wow, like the actual trophies.
• 15:00
  Dayna Roselli: The actual Grammys.
• 15:01
  Sean McAllister: Wow.
• 15:02
  Sean McAllister: Yes, that's cool.
• 15:03
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, so that's really cool to be able to see.
• 15:05
  Dayna Roselli: And you know, I was talking with someone from MGM and they're saying, listen, Bruno really wants this to be, he wants people to dress up, he wants this to be a place where you're dancing on the dance floor and everyone's not videoing you.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_02: I love honestly.
• 15:19
  Dayna Roselli: Let loose, be yourself, you know.
• 15:21
  Dayna Roselli: So apparently there's a champagne room in the back that I didn't get a chance to look at that when Bruno's in town and stuff, and they're gonna have some kind of VIP package back there.
• 15:30
  Dayna Roselli: But here's the tip that comes along with the pinky ring.
• 15:32
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, is that I have heard, and you know, I think we all kind of uh expect that when Bruno is in town performing, he is definitely gonna pop into the pinky ring.
• 15:42
  Sean McAllister: Good.
• 15:43
  Dayna Roselli: So that's something to keep in mind.
• 15:45
  Dayna Roselli: If you can't go see Bruno, um maybe you try and go to the pinky ring that night and hope for the Bruno cameo, and he just added shows.
• 15:56
  Sean McAllister: Which is fantastic because we love a little bit of Bruno.
• 16:01
  Sean McAllister: Uh the shows that Bruno has added over at Park MGM, the Dolby Live Theater, are in June, August, and uh the very beginning of September.
• 16:12
  Sean McAllister: Only one show in September on September 1st.
• 16:14
  Sean McAllister: So from the beginning of June through September 1st, there's about a dozen dates that have been added to Bruno's residency.
• 16:22
  Sean McAllister: So if I were to make any recommendation, I would say make reservations for Pinky Ring now.
• 16:29
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 16:30
  Sean McAllister: Because you know that people who have tickets to Bruno's show are also going to be trying to make reservations over at his club at Bellagio for those same nights.
• 16:40
  Sean McAllister: So act fast.
• 16:42
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 16:42
  Dayna Roselli: It it's a great spot.
• 16:44
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I love to see it busy.
• 16:45
  Dayna Roselli: It was very busy in there.
• 16:47
  Dayna Roselli: And I I know the live music's gonna kick up every night at 9 p.m.
• 16:51
  Dayna Roselli: Doors open at five, it's open every day, and I think it's gonna be a great, a good hot spot.
• 16:56
  Dayna Roselli: So um, congratulations to to Bruno Mars and the crew over there.
• 17:00
  Dayna Roselli: And I look forward to seeing what other kinds of live music he brings in there.
• 17:03
  Dayna Roselli: I know he wants to have a variety.
• 17:05
  Dayna Roselli: At first they were thinking jazz lounge, but he's changed that and now he wants all varieties.
• 17:09
  Sean McAllister: I'm good with that.
• 17:10
  Sean McAllister: That's pretty cool.
• 17:10
  Sean McAllister: And you were saying that um when the band is up there and playing, like it's definitely a vibe and the focus is the band.
• 17:18
  Sean McAllister: But when the band is taking a break, like you can actually have good conversations.
• 17:22
  Sean McAllister: It's not overpowering in there.
• 17:24
  Dayna Roselli: No, and I loved that.
• 17:25
  Dayna Roselli: I was able to catch up with my friend.
• 17:26
  Dayna Roselli: We had a laugh, and you can talk still when the band's on, you know, a little bit, but just not like full-on conversations.
• 17:32
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, exactly.
• 17:33
  Dayna Roselli: And they do take lots of breaks, but they also play for a good amount of time.
• 17:36
  Dayna Roselli: So it's not like, you know, two songs and then a break, two songs and a break.
• 17:39
  Dayna Roselli: No, they play, but then they take a good, you know, a break, and then that's good.
• 17:43
  Dayna Roselli: You like grab another drink, talk to the, you know, call the waitress over, or you know, talk to your friends for a little while, and then another set kicks up and it's just as good.
• 17:52
  Dayna Roselli: It was great.
• 17:52
  Dayna Roselli: I loved it.
• 17:53
  Dayna Roselli: I was there from I I expected to go for a little while, but I was there like 8 45 to like, well, my friend Denise went over the three-hour local parking limit.
• 18:01
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, so you guys were enjoying vibe.
• 18:05
  Dayna Roselli: I know on a Sunday night.
• 18:06
  Sean McAllister: Look at that.
• 18:07
  Sean McAllister: By the way.
• 18:08
  Sean McAllister: And you are becoming quite the party animal.
• 18:10
  unknown: I am.
• 18:11
  Sean McAllister: I mean, out after nine on a Sunday, pulling all nighters at XS.
• 18:16
  Sean McAllister: I know.
• 18:17
  Dayna Roselli: I did love my XS night.
• 18:20
  Sean McAllister: 2024 Roselli is is knocking my socks off.
• 18:24
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it might have even been at Zoop Zoo Nightclub for the Chiefs after party.
• 18:31
  Dayna Roselli: Who knows?
• 18:32
  Dayna Roselli: I can't reveal.
• 18:33
  Sean McAllister: Who knows?
• 18:33
  Dayna Roselli: Vegas Reveal, though, is really making waves all over the internet.
• 18:37
  Dayna Roselli: The truth with our Taylor Swift video.
• 18:39
  Sean McAllister: Uh, something else that's making waves with uh gamblers here in Las Vegas is the fact that Fountain Blue has started to tear match uh with players who come and sign up for the new rewards program at Fountain Blue.
• 18:54
  Sean McAllister: So, what this means, and I think we talked about it um in a previous episode, Fountain Blue was getting some pushback from players because when they were going to sign up for the rewards program, they weren't being matched.
• 19:08
  Sean McAllister: Their tier status was not being matched to their tier status at other properties on the Las Vegas strip.
• 19:16
  Sean McAllister: And a lot of people felt like, well, if you have a new uh rewards program, you don't really have a gambler's uh database built.
• 19:26
  Sean McAllister: Uh you need to do something to incentivize people to come in to sign up for your rewards and play at your property.
• 19:33
  Sean McAllister: Um, and that was a big criticism from the time that Fountain Blue uh opened, and they have now started tier matching through June 2nd.
• 19:44
  Sean McAllister: So there is a limited window um to go in and uh be tier matched with Fountain Blue rewards.
• 19:51
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so I'm not a big gambler, so I I didn't understand that at first.
• 19:55
  Dayna Roselli: Like, what is everyone talking about?
• 19:56
  Dayna Roselli: And now I've learned a little more.
• 19:57
  Dayna Roselli: So it's basically if you are like you said, like a high tier at another property, then they will match you'll start at that tier at Fountain Blue.
• 20:06
  Sean McAllister: You will start at a higher tier.
• 20:07
  Sean McAllister: Guys, I I you know, um depending on what their rewards program is, um you won't have to start at the bottom and work your way up, essentially.
• 20:16
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, so I'm looking at the list now.
• 20:18
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 20:18
  Dayna Roselli: So they're doing Caesars Rewards, Genting Rewards, Grazia awards, identity, infinity rewards, MGM rewards, unity by hard rock, Venetian rewards, and win rewards, among some others.
• 20:28
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, so a good list of other properties.
• 20:30
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 20:31
  Sean McAllister: So I think this is a it's a smart move by Fountain Blue.
• 20:35
  Sean McAllister: I think that they'll get a lot of players in there.
• 20:38
  Sean McAllister: Um, and I saw that there are some some perks to signing up for the Fountain Blue rewards as well.
• 20:43
  Sean McAllister: So it'll be good.
• 20:45
  Dayna Roselli: I did actually get my Fountain Blue card and I did get$15 slot play.
• 20:49
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 20:50
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 20:50
  Dayna Roselli: Yep.
• 20:50
  Dayna Roselli: So I um I hadn't used it yet because my friend was gambling and he used his card and I watched him play, and I'm like, oh, I'll play another time when I've got$20 in my pocket.
• 21:01
  Dayna Roselli: But anyway, um, hey, I went to the China Club that's now open at the Fountain Blue at as well, and I know people love to hear um about new restaurants that that open.
• 21:09
  Dayna Roselli: This is uh eclectic Chinese cuisine, and we went over there.
• 21:14
  Dayna Roselli: They presented us with a variety of different things that they offer at the restaurant.
• 21:18
  Dayna Roselli: First of all, the restaurant is stunning, it it's like reds and golds, and uh certain areas have like books, like like um little nooks.
• 21:27
  Dayna Roselli: It almost looks like a library.
• 21:29
  Dayna Roselli: Library.
• 21:29
  Dayna Roselli: Sorry, library, yes.
• 21:31
  Sean McAllister: That book place.
• 21:32
  Dayna Roselli: Yep, and then it as you look up, there's a blue sky.
• 21:34
  Dayna Roselli: It it actually goes with the daytime, and the wait staff was telling us that it actually dims very like minimally as the day goes on.
• 21:43
  Dayna Roselli: It actually goes along with the hour of the day, the lighting and the vibe and the feel.
• 21:48
  Dayna Roselli: So I thought that was really cool.
• 21:50
  Dayna Roselli: It's stunning.
• 21:51
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but listen, um, they are known for their peking duck, which is so popular in the Chinese culture, and they presented it, they sliced different parts.
• 22:00
  Dayna Roselli: Of the duck and put them on plates, and then they brought us out these really thin, kind of they call them pancakes, some sauce and scallions.
• 22:08
  Dayna Roselli: And you just line the pancake, you put the duck in, the scallions delicious.
• 22:13
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, my favorite part was the ribs.
• 22:15
  Dayna Roselli: I highly recommend that you get the ribs there.
• 22:17
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm not even a rib person, they were delicious.
• 22:20
  Dayna Roselli: The flavoring was amazing.
• 22:22
  Dayna Roselli: And also really loved the fried rice.
• 22:27
  Dayna Roselli: That was great as well.
• 22:29
  Dayna Roselli: And um the dessert, we had some coconut kind of like sorbet, it was delicious as well.
• 22:35
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 22:35
  Sean McAllister: That sounds delicious.
• 22:36
  Sean McAllister: And I love that you're uh since Fountain Blue opened, you were like, oh, this is gonna be my new spot to just pop over.
• 22:43
  Sean McAllister: I love you have.
• 22:44
  Dayna Roselli: I have, I go all the time.
• 22:46
  Dayna Roselli: It's like I'm there all the time.
• 22:48
  Dayna Roselli: I even have the fountain blue card, as I said.
• 22:50
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but yeah, uh something about uh China Club is that it's actually from the creative mind of Hakasan.
• 22:57
  Dayna Roselli: So that's interesting, you know.
• 22:58
  Dayna Roselli: Hakasan's over at what MGM Grand, right?
• 23:01
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 23:01
  Dayna Roselli: Um, great spot, and then the washing potato is also open, and I am hearing we need to go there.
• 23:07
  Dayna Roselli: We've been invited to try that out.
• 23:09
  Dayna Roselli: Uh same owners and creators, apparently the dim sum is out of this world in that restaurant.
• 23:16
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 23:16
  Dayna Roselli: So we'll have to check that out.
• 23:18
  Sean McAllister: We will.
• 23:18
  Sean McAllister: All that over at Fountain Blue.
• 23:21
  Sean McAllister: Um, but I while you were at Fountain Blue, I was over at uh the Durango Resort, the new off-strip uh hotel casino that uh opened relatively recently.
• 23:33
  Sean McAllister: We've been talking about that as well.
• 23:35
  Sean McAllister: And man, it was packed.
• 23:38
  Sean McAllister: It was bumping on a Friday night.
• 23:41
  Sean McAllister: The restaurants were like packed to the gills.
• 23:45
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, yep.
• 23:46
  Dayna Roselli: It's always so packed.
• 23:47
  Sean McAllister: I mean, the the sports book was busy, um the George, the indoor-outdoor sportsbook uh bar restaurant area, tons of people there.
• 23:59
  Sean McAllister: They had a uh country band that was playing outside on the patio, so we stepped outside and listened to them for a little bit.
• 24:06
  Sean McAllister: Um, but we ate at I Pono Cafe, and this is a restaurant that's inside the eat your heart out uh food hall over there at Durango, and it was so delicious.
• 24:20
  Sean McAllister: I had an ahi bowl with two different kinds of ahi and some crab salad in there.
• 24:26
  Sean McAllister: It was terrific.
• 24:27
  Sean McAllister: But what I loved, I as we were sitting at our our table and eating, uh, there was one of those little you know triangle things on the table that told you about the brunch specials.
• 24:38
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, okay.
• 24:39
  Sean McAllister: Or it's actually a breakfast menu.
• 24:41
  Sean McAllister: And there were two things on there that caught my eye, and it sounded well, my husband uh is a big breakfast person, loves you know, like the waffles, pancakes, French toast, all that kind of stuff.
• 24:53
  Sean McAllister: So a couple of these uh menu items were like right up his alley.
• 24:57
  Sean McAllister: One is called uh de toast.
• 24:59
  Sean McAllister: Okay, and this is sweet Hawaiian bread French toast with lilloquois butter and vanilla bean syrup.
• 25:07
  Sean McAllister: Okay, and I mean that just sounds as decadent as could be.
• 25:11
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 25:12
  Sean McAllister: And the other one that caught our eye is called de cake, and these are macadamia nut and banana buttermilk pancakes with guava butter, coconut cream, and toasted coconut on top.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 25:26
  Sean McAllister: I mean, between those two menu items, you are getting the island flavor and then some.
• 25:33
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 25:34
  Dayna Roselli: Seriously, I bet it's so popular, too.
• 25:38
  Dayna Roselli: You said there was lines.
• 25:39
  Sean McAllister: Oh, there was a there was a line uh for iPono Cafe, and it was well worth it.
• 25:45
  Sean McAllister: Uh Nielsen's frozen custard, there was a big line for that.
• 25:49
  Sean McAllister: Um, you know, they have uh the pizza place, Irv's Burgers, there every place over there was busy, and it's a scene, um, including over at the Bel Air Lounge, which is right off the lobby.
• 26:02
  Sean McAllister: And I mean, people were walking in there, they were dressed up for a night out, the music I could hear coming out of there.
• 26:09
  Sean McAllister: We didn't step inside, but it was like the place to go.
• 26:14
  Dayna Roselli: It is, yeah, and I see a lot of people having birthdays there and stuff too.
• 26:18
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 26:19
  Dayna Roselli: So like celebratory.
• 26:20
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I went to the Bel Air Lounge, and I think I talked about it uh, I don't know, maybe like 10 podcasts ago, but it the food was delicious.
• 26:26
  Dayna Roselli: So I recommend going there for a snack too.
• 26:29
  Dayna Roselli: Um, smaller bites, but great.
• 26:31
  Dayna Roselli: The sushi was uh top-notch.
• 26:33
  Dayna Roselli: I loved the food there.
• 26:35
  Dayna Roselli: So I can only imagine, and I know it's happening soon, when that that patio opens full on over at Bel Air when it gets just a little bit nicer, and it's already starting to.
• 26:44
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, we got some sun the other day, it was 70 degrees out, and it's getting into the 60s.
• 26:49
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but that is going to be even busier.
• 26:53
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, because the patio opens out to the uh pool.
• 26:57
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 26:57
  Sean McAllister: Summer House is another restaurant over at Durango, and we stopped in there because they have a big uh bakery counter in front, and their cookies are delicious.
• 27:08
  Sean McAllister: So we had to get some cookies to go and uh ration them out for ourselves.
• 27:14
  Sean McAllister: But um we walked through the restaurant and went out onto the patio, and as we were making our way back out, I asked the uh hostess if they had started brunch yet, and she said, No, they haven't started brunch yet, but probably sometime in March they're going to start brunch service at Summer House, and they've got a great patio that um opens up to the front of the resort.
• 27:36
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 27:37
  Dayna Roselli: It's interesting.
• 27:38
  Dayna Roselli: I I I think another podcast, let's have a discussion about food halls because I'm I'm not, and this is just personal opinion, I need to actually try it more often, I think.
• 27:47
  Dayna Roselli: I I think that when I think of going out to eat, I don't think of going to a food hall because I'm just as I'm not not into the food, but I almost feel like I'm not going out.
• 27:58
  Dayna Roselli: I'm the type that doesn't go out to dinner just for the food.
• 28:01
  Dayna Roselli: I want to sit for a while, I want to chat, I want to have like a cozy booth or something where you get some great things to to look at in the restaurant and kind of have a vibe.
• 28:11
  Dayna Roselli: So whenever I think of food, I'm just like, I don't know if I would go to a food hall.
• 28:14
  Dayna Roselli: But anyway, I think that's a discussion for another day.
• 28:16
  Dayna Roselli: But maybe like the the perks and maybe we chat with some people, maybe we do this on the TV show, a chat with some people what they love about food halls.
• 28:24
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, because I it's as we've said, it's become a thing.
• 28:28
  Sean McAllister: It is hardcore a thing.
• 28:31
  Sean McAllister: The Rio just opened their own food hall, uh, where the Carnival World Buffet used to be.
• 28:36
  Sean McAllister: So that is the new thing.
• 28:38
  Sean McAllister: It's the way that things are are going.
• 28:41
  Sean McAllister: Um and the food hall at Durango is top-notch.
• 28:45
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 28:45
  Sean McAllister: Well, and it gets they did a great job with it.
• 28:48
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, you know, it doesn't feel like you're in a food or a food court.
• 28:52
  Dayna Roselli: No, it doesn't.
• 28:52
  Sean McAllister: I mean, it's like standalone restaurants almost.
• 28:55
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and you were there on a Friday.
• 28:56
  Dayna Roselli: I went there on like a Wednesday night, and the same thing, there were lines.
• 28:59
  Dayna Roselli: When I walk by, I eat your heart out.
• 29:01
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, so I know it's it's super fun.
• 29:04
  Sean McAllister: I'm so happy that uh things are going well over at Durango and that the neighborhood around the casino has really seemed to embrace it and make that the local spot.
• 29:16
  Dayna Roselli: And they had that slap tournament there.
• 29:18
  Dayna Roselli: Oh my god, what is it called?
• 29:19
  Dayna Roselli: The slap.
• 29:20
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, I forgot.
• 29:21
  Dayna Roselli: I'd have to look it up.
• 29:22
  Dayna Roselli: But um Tom Brady went.
• 29:25
  Dayna Roselli: I know Dana White was there.
• 29:26
  Dayna Roselli: There were a lot of celebrities at this slap.
• 29:29
  Dayna Roselli: I started following them on Twitter because I was like trying to learn all about it.
• 29:33
  Dayna Roselli: Because I'm like, I even put on Twitter, like, wait, this is a thing, and everyone's like, Yeah, where have you been?

• 30:04
  Sean McAllister: I was really glad to get over there and see everyone enjoying that so much.
• 30:09
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, and real quick, let's go back to the Fountain Blue just for a quick mention.
• 30:14
  Dayna Roselli: Live with Kelly and Mark is coming to Fountain Blue.
• 30:17
  Dayna Roselli: We mentioned that on February 26th and 27th, and uh they need to fill the seats in there in the theater for the show.
• 30:25
  Dayna Roselli: And so if you're interested, they're giving away free tickets.
• 30:28
  Dayna Roselli: I put the link on my Facebook, I'll put it in our like Instagram stories and stuff too.
• 30:32
  Dayna Roselli: But um, I know that there was some room and they have a pretty good guest lineup on the show for the two days that they're shooting.
• 30:38
  Dayna Roselli: And so if you want to go see a live show taping, and if you like Kelly Rippa and her husband Mark, um, go see the show.
• 30:45
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it's gonna be a good time.
• 30:47
  Sean McAllister: Those two have a good time together, and I know they have uh a place in their hearts for Las Vegas.
• 30:53
  Sean McAllister: They ended up being married here uh years ago.
• 30:57
  Sean McAllister: But um, they're gonna be back, and that show is gonna be fun.
• 31:00
  Sean McAllister: We're looking forward to that.
• 31:01
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we're going as well.
• 31:02
  Dayna Roselli: Um, Jersey Boys is opening over at the Orleans.
• 31:04
  Dayna Roselli: Just a heads up, Sean and I are gonna hit the red carpet this week and gather some interviews and see the show.
• 31:10
  Dayna Roselli: So next week we'll let you know about that.
• 31:14
  Dayna Roselli: Um, excited to see how a residency does over at the Orleans.
• 31:18
  Sean McAllister: I know it's something new for that property.
• 31:20
  Sean McAllister: And uh the Jersey Boys is, I think, a great option.
• 31:24
  Sean McAllister: You can't go wrong with Jersey Boys.
• 31:26
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's a staple, right?
• 31:27
  Dayna Roselli: And like I think when you ever you see a Jersey boy show, it's always like, oh, you know, you're kind of more sadly, it's more about the cast, right?
• 31:35
  Dayna Roselli: Does this cast mesh?
• 31:36
  Dayna Roselli: Do they work?
• 31:37
  Dayna Roselli: It's not the storyline, the storyline is is loved.
• 31:40
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 31:40
  Sean McAllister: So and the music.
• 31:41
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and the music.
• 31:42
  Dayna Roselli: So good.
• 31:43
  Dayna Roselli: The music is so good.
• 31:44
  Dayna Roselli: I'm ready to stand and dance.
• 31:45
  Dayna Roselli: I'm excited.
• 31:46
  Dayna Roselli: Get ready.
• 31:48
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, yeah, all of it.
• 31:50
  Sean McAllister: Let's do some tips.
• 31:54
  Dayna Roselli: John, all I've been hearing for years and years is Whataburger is the best burger spot.
• 32:00
  Dayna Roselli: I have so many friends that live here from Texas and friends from that I've met through the years from Texas, and they say Whataburger is the best burger in all of the land.
• 32:11
  Dayna Roselli: It's better than In N Out, it's better than Shake Shack, it's better than Fat Burger, all those.
• 32:16
  Dayna Roselli: So um finally, Las Vegas has opened a Whataburger.
• 32:20
  Sean McAllister: A Whataburger, yeah.
• 32:21
  Sean McAllister: So it's down on the Las Vegas strip.
• 32:24
  Sean McAllister: And I'm excited for this because I know I've probably mentioned to you at least five different times that uh Whataburger and In N Out are like ranked as the two healthiest fast food chains.
• 32:38
  Sean McAllister: I know.
• 32:38
  Sean McAllister: I'm like, if I can get a good burger and have it not be like instantly clogging my arteries, I love that because I would probably eat a burger every single day for the rest of my life.
• 32:50
  Sean McAllister: I love burgers.
• 32:51
  Dayna Roselli: Well, and I pulled the little study just because you had mentioned that.
• 32:54
  Dayna Roselli: And this was a 2023 study by gambling.com.
• 32:58
  Dayna Roselli: And apparently the Whats is the healthiest, like you said, fast food cheeseburger in the country.
• 33:04
  Dayna Roselli: The study assesses factors like calories, fat, sugar, and sodium.
• 33:09
  Dayna Roselli: And the WhatsApp has the second lowest fat and calorie content per ounce and also ranks well in the salt and sugar categories.
• 33:17
  Sean McAllister: All right.
• 33:18
  Sean McAllister: You like that?
• 33:19
  Sean McAllister: I like it.
• 33:19
  Dayna Roselli: Spilling the facts.
• 33:21
  Dayna Roselli: So there you have it.
• 33:22
  Dayna Roselli: Um, listen, our friend Melissa, she went down to What's her kids because they're from Texas, they love it.
• 33:28
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and we got the lowdown from her.
• 33:31
  Dayna Roselli: Now, she said it was packed.
• 33:33
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, there were about 50 people in line, 50, you know, people, families, whatever.
• 33:38
  Dayna Roselli: She said it did move really quick, wasn't the end of the world.
• 33:41
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but that the meal was great.
• 33:44
  Dayna Roselli: The average meal is about 13 to 17.
• 33:47
  Dayna Roselli: She said it did cost her 50 bucks for her and her two kids.
• 33:51
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 33:52
  Dayna Roselli: But she said they did get, you know, burgers, huge drinks, and the fries.
• 33:57
  Dayna Roselli: There's a lot of fries.
• 33:58
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so it's like a good portion.
• 34:00
  Dayna Roselli: And I'm like, I mean, that's that's a Vegas price.
• 34:03
  Dayna Roselli: You know, 50 bucks isn't it?
• 34:04
  Sean McAllister: Listen, it's on the Las Vegas strip.
• 34:06
  Sean McAllister: It's on the strip.
• 34:07
  Sean McAllister: You're not gonna really find a lot for less than that.
• 34:11
  Sean McAllister: For a for a whole meal, drink, side, and sandwich.
• 34:15
  Dayna Roselli: And she said the kids were stuffed, we were definitely full, you know, and so you know, if you want a good, she said that she loved uh seeing so many people line up.
• 34:22
  Dayna Roselli: She was walking there, she'd parked over at Aria, and she also said because she's, you know, Nevada local, and is it everyone gets the first hour free at MGM properties?
• 34:31
  Dayna Roselli: I can't remember.
• 34:32
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but anyway, it's three hours for locals with Nevada ID.
• 34:36
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, she said she was, you know, there for about an hour and a half, so she was able to park for free.
• 34:40
  Dayna Roselli: They walked, they walked over and it was easy.
• 34:42
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but anyway, she said it's you know attached to this Perry's Pizza that is also just opened.
• 34:47
  Dayna Roselli: And she said there were screen TVs, a full bar.
• 34:50
  Dayna Roselli: So it's like a whole experience.
• 34:52
  Sean McAllister: That's really cool.
• 34:53
  Sean McAllister: And it's a great location.
• 34:54
  Sean McAllister: There's gonna be a lot of uh foot traffic that comes in and out of there, too.
• 35:00
  Dayna Roselli: I think they're gonna count on that, right?
• 35:01
  Sean McAllister: I mean, I would imagine because there's not a a set parking lot that's immediately adjacent to the restaurant.
• 35:09
  Sean McAllister: So if you do park at Aria, like there's a little bit of a walk to get back out to the strip.
• 35:14
  Dayna Roselli: Good.
• 35:15
  Dayna Roselli: You walk, you walk a little quarter of the burger off.
• 35:18
  Sean McAllister: You walk off part of your healthy burger.
• 35:20
  Dayna Roselli: She also loved how clean and modern it was, by the way.
• 35:23
  Dayna Roselli: Ooh.
• 35:24
  Dayna Roselli: So that makes me think are the Texas ones not as clean?
• 35:26
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know.
• 35:28
  Sean McAllister: Well, they probably just been around for a minute.
• 35:30
  Sean McAllister: True.
• 35:31
  Sean McAllister: True, very true.
• 35:33
  Dayna Roselli: So yeah, Whataburger is officially open.
• 35:35
  Dayna Roselli: I know a lot of you were looking forward to that one.
• 35:37
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I'm not a huge fan of In N Out, so I look forward to trying Whataburger and the way she sent us a video, which we're gonna show in the TV show, um, of the burgers, and I like that they look well, they're large.
• 35:49
  Sean McAllister: They're like like there's some meat to them.
• 35:53
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, but they're like kind of like what you always talk about, like the Wendy's burgers.
• 35:57
  Dayna Roselli: They're not high and small, they're wider.
• 36:00
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 36:00
  Dayna Roselli: You know what I mean?
• 36:01
  Dayna Roselli: Like wider.
• 36:02
  Sean McAllister: Good surface area burger.
• 36:04
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, that's it.
• 36:05
  Dayna Roselli: Good surface area burger.
• 36:07
  Sean McAllister: Hey, uh, Blue Man Group has been a staple here in Las Vegas for decades.
• 36:12
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, we just ran into them, remember, on the field over at Open Group.
• 36:15
  Sean McAllister: We did it opening night at Super Bowl.
• 36:17
  Dayna Roselli: We didn't get we didn't strike up a conversation because they don't talk.
• 36:20
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, they're not very chatty.
• 36:22
  Dayna Roselli: They made eyes at us.
• 36:23
  Sean McAllister: They did.
• 36:24
  Sean McAllister: Uh Blue Man Group, they've been here in Las Vegas forever.
• 36:28
  Sean McAllister: Their show is now playing over at Luxor.
• 36:31
  Sean McAllister: And the reason that they've been here for so long is because they keep changing up the show and making it fresh and new for visitors who have maybe seen the show before and want to come back and see it again.
• 36:42
  Sean McAllister: Well, that changeup is continuing.
• 36:45
  Sean McAllister: They are uh putting into the show, they're replacing one of the acts in the show with another audience participation act that has never been seen before in the Las Vegas show.
• 36:57
  Sean McAllister: So if you maybe are have been wanting to go see Blue Man Group again, it would be a good time to schedule that show on your calendar.
• 37:07
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I think the last act they incorporated one audience member, and it says this new act incorporates audience participation as well, this time for two guests.
• 37:16
  Dayna Roselli: So if you're that type of person that likes to get called up on stage, now it could be two of you.
• 37:21
  Sean McAllister: I've never liked being called up on stage.
• 37:23
  Sean McAllister: Ever since kindergarten, we had an assembly and there were clowns going through the aisles, and I would had to I like clung to my teacher and I had like the color drained from me.
• 37:38
  Sean McAllister: I was horrified that a clown was going to choose me to go up on stage.
• 37:43
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, haven't people learned yet that clowns aren't like loved by kids?
• 37:47
  Dayna Roselli: All of kids.
• 37:47
  Dayna Roselli: Some kids do love clowns, but I mean there's there's that frightening factor.
• 37:51
  Dayna Roselli: Like, why do we still keep doing it?
• 37:54
  Sean McAllister: I don't know.
• 37:54
  Sean McAllister: I don't know.
• 37:56
  Sean McAllister: I guess it's just like so ingrained in like the child experience.
• 38:01
  Sean McAllister: Like, oh, kids love clowns.
• 38:02
  Sean McAllister: Well, no, they don't.
• 38:05
  Dayna Roselli: There used to be a woman that lived in in where I'm from, Henrietta, New York, and people knew her as the she was a clown that visited a lot of the schools, and I would always laugh if I got um stuck next to her at a stoplight.
• 38:17
  Sean McAllister: We had same thing in Brockport.
• 38:19
  Sean McAllister: We had a clown who lived in our neighborhood, and you would see him drive by all done up in his clown makeup.
• 38:26
  Dayna Roselli: And now we live in Vegas and it's completely normal.
• 38:29
  Sean McAllister: No kidding.
• 38:29
  Sean McAllister: It's like tame.
• 38:31
  Sean McAllister: See, our childhood experiences were preparing us for Las Vegas all along.
• 38:35
  Sean McAllister: But I always wondered like, is he driving the car with those big shoes on?
• 38:39
  Sean McAllister: And how?
• 38:42
  Dayna Roselli: Probably not.
• 38:44
  Dayna Roselli: But you know, he did his makeup before he left the house.
• 38:47
  Dayna Roselli: Let's put it that way.
• 38:48
  Sean McAllister: So anyway, back to Blue Man Group.
• 38:51
  Dayna Roselli: Yes.
• 38:51
  Dayna Roselli: Um, listen, uh, why we're talking about this as a tip as well is that they're having a ticket special through February 29th.

  Dayna Roselli: I think we might need to go, and you might need to get up there and pop in.
• 41:04
  Dayna Roselli: Turn the tables with him.
• 41:06
  Sean McAllister: I don't know how that would go.
• 41:08
  Dayna Roselli: But you've got to angle your face to the right side.
• 41:10
  Sean McAllister: And like slightly look down.
• 41:12
  Dayna Roselli: Slightly look down, gel the hair forward a little bit.
• 41:15
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, on this poster, if you look at Cascade, I would say I wouldn't be like, oh, he looks like Sean, but in this one poster.
