  Sean McAllister: Welcome to Vegas Revealed, episode 154, Sean McAllister here, along with Dana Roselli.
• 2:20
  Sean McAllister: And you know, Dana, uh something that listeners may not realize is that we have access to the Vegas Revealed Sky Deck that gives us a very unique vantage point near the strip.
• 2:36
  Dayna Roselli: We do.
• 2:36
  Dayna Roselli: You're right.
• 2:37
  Dayna Roselli: You're right.
• 2:38
  Dayna Roselli: I happen to live in a high-rise, which I think some people know, but not everyone.
• 2:42
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and I'm always seeing things because I'm not gonna say what floor I'm on for my safety.
• 2:49
  Sean McAllister: Good.
• 2:50
  Dayna Roselli: But I can see things from my patio that nobody can see unless they're in like a helicopter.
• 2:57
  Sean McAllister: See, I feel like this could also be confused for one of those Las Vegas UFO hunter kind of people.
• 3:02
  Sean McAllister: Like, I see things from my balcony.
• 3:05
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 3:05
  Dayna Roselli: Some I kind of stuff.
• 3:07
  Dayna Roselli: Some I don't.
• 3:09
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, I would prefer to call it the Vegas Revealed Sky Deck.
• 3:12
  Dayna Roselli: Let's do it.
• 3:13
  Sean McAllister: Wanna just name it that it's fully branded now.
• 3:16
  Dayna Roselli: Well, I did see something the other day that I thought, what the heck is this?
• 3:20
  Dayna Roselli: And it was right across the street in kind of like the north lot of the Westgate, which is the former Hilton.
• 3:27
  Sean McAllister: Okay, yeah.
• 3:27
  Dayna Roselli: You know, iconic hotel casino there, just off the strip on Paradise.
• 3:31
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, what is this?
• 3:33
  Dayna Roselli: I took a little video, put it up on social, and people were like, what is it?
• 3:37
  Dayna Roselli: No one knew, but it was like fantasy land or something.
• 3:42
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it kind of looked like neat bubblegum pink trees and then like neon blues and greens of like mushroom, just stuff.
• 3:52
  Dayna Roselli: Like almost like Alice in Wonderland type mushroom-y looking things.
• 3:56
  Dayna Roselli: And at first I thought, well, maybe is this like EDC related?
• 3:59
  Sean McAllister: Which kind of sounds like ready early, yeah.
• 4:01
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and I was like, what?
• 4:03
  Dayna Roselli: And there was like piles and people were sorting through them.
• 4:05
  Dayna Roselli: And I was like, what?
• 4:06
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, um, went on the morning blend the other day, and JJ and I were talking about it, and she placed a call over to Gordy, our friend over at the Westgate, and he told us, Well, you broke some news um because it is imaginarium, and we haven't announced it yet, but it's coming this spring, and we're like, imaginarium.
• 4:26
  Dayna Roselli: So we looked it up and we went to imaginarium360.com.
• 4:31
  Dayna Roselli: Um, they've done something similar in the wintertime in Sacramento, California.
• 4:35
  Dayna Roselli: You can get a look at what it looks like, but it's like this fantasy kind of experience.
• 4:41
  Dayna Roselli: Um Westgate says it's gonna be outdoors.
• 4:44
  Dayna Roselli: So it could be like really cool.
• 4:48
  Dayna Roselli: It almost seems like uh, you know, some of the holiday things we had this year, except it's gonna be in the spring with kind of a fantasy theme.
• 4:54
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 4:55
  Sean McAllister: I was just thinking the same thing.
• 4:56
  Sean McAllister: It was kind of like Enchant, where you're walking through this, you know, crazy display of larger-than-life light up things.
• 5:09
  unknown: Right.
• 5:10
  Sean McAllister: But this, yeah, it looks like it's going to look like you're stepping into Alice's Wonderland.
• 5:16
  Dayna Roselli: It does look like that.
• 5:17
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, we don't know, you know, I well, we will know because guess what?
• 5:20
  Dayna Roselli: Skydeck.
• 5:21
  Sean McAllister: The Vegas Revealed Sky Deck.
• 5:23
  Dayna Roselli: The Vegas Revealed Sky Deck is gonna keep an eye on this.
• 5:25
  Sean McAllister: It's gonna be peeping in.
• 5:27
  Dayna Roselli: But um, that's all we really know so far.
• 5:30
  Dayna Roselli: But it looks like it'll be really cool.
• 5:32
  Dayna Roselli: Something new.
• 5:33
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it'll get people over to, you know, the Westgate, because it is just, you know, a road, a block or two off the strip.
• 5:41
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 5:41
  Dayna Roselli: Bring people over there for an experience.
• 5:43
  Dayna Roselli: People love taking their pictures and their Instagram and their videos.
• 5:46
  Dayna Roselli: And so I think it'll be really cool.
• 5:48
  Dayna Roselli: The one that we were looking at online did have things like a beer garden and all sorts of different stuff, but I don't know what parts of that we'll have at our imaginarium.
• 5:57
  Sean McAllister: Gotcha.
• 5:57
  Sean McAllister: I'm sure being Las Vegas, we'll probably have at least a couple beer gardens.
• 6:02
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 6:02
  Dayna Roselli: But now I'm wondering, is that gonna keep me up at night?
• 6:05
  Sean McAllister: No, I feel like it's gonna be more tame.
• 6:07
  Sean McAllister: Okay, I don't think it's gonna be like a rave kind of situation.
• 6:11
  Dayna Roselli: I think so too.
• 6:12
  Sean McAllister: Worry not.
• 6:12
  Sean McAllister: I know.
• 6:13
  Sean McAllister: Worry not, right?
• 6:14
  Dayna Roselli: What would Elvis say?
• 6:14
  Dayna Roselli: That do you think Elvis, you know, because when he was in the building over there, you would have ever thought someday imaginarium's gonna be red outside.
• 6:23
  Dayna Roselli: Is that your Elvis?
• 6:29
  Dayna Roselli: That was my first try.
• 6:30
  Dayna Roselli: I've never done that before.
• 6:33
  Sean McAllister: You got to the lip.
• 6:35
  Sean McAllister: There's room for improvement.
• 6:36
  Sean McAllister: Okay.
• 6:37
  Dayna Roselli: I'm not getting the Oscar.
• 6:38
  Dayna Roselli: Me and Austin Butler aren't back to back.
• 6:40
  Sean McAllister: Not yet.
• 6:40
  Sean McAllister: Not yet.
• 6:41
  Sean McAllister: But with work, I'm sure it can be done.
• 6:44
  Sean McAllister: Um, you know, we're talking about uh this attraction that's coming this spring, but it has not felt like spring in Las Vegas at all lately.
• 6:54
  Sean McAllister: And we had a a nice little surprise from Mother Nature the other day.
• 7:00
  Dayna Roselli: What was that, Monday?
• 7:01
  Dayna Roselli: I think it was Monday.
• 7:02
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, Monday.
• 7:03
  Dayna Roselli: A snowfall.
• 7:04
  Dayna Roselli: Now we get like a little bit of snow here and there through the years.
• 7:07
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 7:08
  Dayna Roselli: But like to actually see accumulation on the ground is very, very rare in Las Vegas area.
• 7:14
  Sean McAllister: And boy, did it happen this week.
• 7:16
  Dayna Roselli: It did, and it was mostly down in what the southeast Henderson area.
• 7:20
  Dayna Roselli: Anthem, which is a little bit raised up.
• 7:22
  Dayna Roselli: Yep.
• 7:22
  Dayna Roselli: It's kind of the higher elevated part, I guess, of Henderson.
• 7:26
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but they got some good snow, like some big flakes were coming down.
• 7:29
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I saw people posting online and they were like, these are the biggest, wettest snowflakes I have ever seen in my life.
• 7:39
  Sean McAllister: And these are people who have not always lived in Las Vegas, they lived in different parts of the country where snow is normal.
• 7:45
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, so true.
• 7:47
  Dayna Roselli: I happened to be at Channel 13 filling in that day, and I walked by the Justin who does the weather, and I said, Boy, this is like the hardest day you've worked in years.
• 7:56
  Dayna Roselli: There was so much action, you know, because Vegas is usually it's sunny with a breeze.
• 8:00
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 8:01
  Dayna Roselli: And it's, you know, usually in the 60s and 50s in the winter, and then it gets hotter, 70s, 80s, 90s.
• 8:07
  Dayna Roselli: By the summer, we're at 120.
• 8:09
  Sean McAllister: But when it rains or when it snows, or when we have a windstorm.
• 8:14
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 8:14
  Sean McAllister: That's when our meteorologists are they're key, they're clutch.
• 8:18
  Sean McAllister: They're clutch.
• 8:19
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, they are busy.
• 8:21
  Dayna Roselli: But on that note, it's so funny because it look for the pictures, and if you haven't seen them already, they're all over social media.
• 8:27
  Dayna Roselli: Beautiful pictures of the snow in Las Vegas.
• 8:29
  Dayna Roselli: Then, of course, there was snow in the mountains the next day.
• 8:31
  Dayna Roselli: Once everything cleared out, you could see the pretty snow-capped mountains.
• 8:35
  Dayna Roselli: But the funny thing is, then we get a press release from a couple different places saying, hey, pool season starts March 3rd.
• 8:42
  Sean McAllister: Everybody's ready.
• 8:44
  Sean McAllister: Going from shovels to bikinis.
• 8:46
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 8:46
  Dayna Roselli: That's how we roll.
• 8:47
  Dayna Roselli: It changes quick.
• 8:48
  Dayna Roselli: Literally, the next day the sun was out and it was like it was.
• 8:51
  Sean McAllister: It was beautiful.
• 8:52
  Dayna Roselli: Like 58 or 60.
• 8:53
  Sean McAllister: Chilly, but beautiful.
• 8:54
  Dayna Roselli: I think this weekend is supposed to be in the 60s, too.
• 8:57
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, uh, a bunch of different pools are having tryouts, they call it.
• 9:01
  Dayna Roselli: Tryouts for their cocktail servers and their staff and um Tau Group, they run a lot of different uh day clubs, pool clubs, ultra pool clubs all around town.
• 9:13
  Dayna Roselli: But they said across the board their pools are opening March 3rd.
• 9:17
  Dayna Roselli: Wow.
• 9:17
  Dayna Roselli: I know, and that's including like the Cosmopolitan, Wet Republic, Liquid Pool at Aria, Tau Beach Club at the Venetian, so they're ready to go.
• 9:27
  Dayna Roselli: Then Red Rock, Green Valley Ranch, and uh the new Rouge Cabanas pool over at Red Rock.
• 9:35
  Dayna Roselli: They're hosting a whole bunch of different um uh tryouts, I guess, for pool staff over at Red Rock.
• 9:43
  Dayna Roselli: I think those are actually over.
• 9:45
  Dayna Roselli: They've already had that.
• 9:46
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and then you said Boyd Gaming.
• 9:48
  Sean McAllister: I believe it was Boyd Gaming that announced that they were doing uh a casting call for their servers and and pool staff.
• 9:56
  Sean McAllister: And I thought it was funny in the um uh advertisement I saw for it, they said come dressed professionally.
• 10:04
  Sean McAllister: There you go.
• 10:06
  Sean McAllister: Because uh there are admittedly some of these auditions where you're supposed to show up in the kind of attire that you might be wearing out at the pool.
• 10:16
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 10:17
  Dayna Roselli: But these days, you know, that's considered a little like a little taboo.
• 10:21
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, you know what?
• 10:22
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, if you're gonna be working at the pool, that's part of the job.
• 10:26
  Sean McAllister: I mean, I get it.
• 10:27
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and maybe you're right.
• 10:28
  Dayna Roselli: Maybe it was auditions, not tryouts that I was thinking of.
• 10:30
  Dayna Roselli: That's the word, that's the word.
• 10:32
  Dayna Roselli: Um, in the past they've called them that.
• 10:34
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, but pool auditions is what they're calling it over at Red Rock and Green Valley and Rouge as well.
• 10:38
  Dayna Roselli: So auditions.
• 10:40
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, pretty much any casino group that there is in Las Vegas, anyone who has uh a pool that's operating, you know, with a day club, all that, uh those auditions are on.
• 10:53
  Sean McAllister: Definitely.
• 10:54
  Dayna Roselli: Hey, and side note, I went up to the balloon festival up in Mesquite, Nevada.
• 10:59
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, that's right.
• 10:59
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and it was beautiful, but that was um also at the right outside the Casablanca resort.
• 11:04
  Dayna Roselli: And I actually went inside the Casablanca for the first time.
• 11:07
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and yeah, it was jamming.
• 11:09
  Dayna Roselli: And they were telling us that whole casino is modeled after the Mirage, which is very similar.
• 11:14
  Dayna Roselli: Really?
• 11:14
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it was really interesting.
• 11:16
  Dayna Roselli: And if you look at it, it is.
• 11:17
  Dayna Roselli: You know, if you almost feel like you're in the Mirage there for a second.
• 11:20
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but they had a little area where they have like a dance floor and everything right in the middle of the casino.
• 11:25
  Dayna Roselli: They had a breakfast spot, and then I think they have a steakhouse that's really well known and people love, I think it's called Catherine's.
• 11:30
  Dayna Roselli: Um, took a peek at their pool, looked pretty big, and I know they've got some waterfalls um and different things, and they have specials all the time.
• 11:38
  Dayna Roselli: If you want a getaway, it was like about an hour and 10 minutes away.
• 11:41
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it's not bad.
• 11:42
  Sean McAllister: I've stopped in there a handful of times, and it is, it's always packed.
• 11:47
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, but they've got great uh I believe they have packages for golf and the spa and right.
• 11:54
  Sean McAllister: Um, so you can, you know, definitely check out what what they've got down in Mesquite.
• 11:59
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, definitely.
• 12:00
  Dayna Roselli: Um, you're right though.
• 12:01
  Dayna Roselli: Golf is also something they're really known for.
• 12:03
  Dayna Roselli: We were walking on the golf course to see the balloon.
• 12:06
  Dayna Roselli: Uh a new Mexican restaurant has opened at the forum shops at Caesars Palace.
• 12:11
  Dayna Roselli: We told you this was coming, and I think it's been open for a little bit now, but they're having their big VIP grand opening party.
• 12:18
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, it's called Seoul Mexican Cocina.
• 12:22
  Sean McAllister: Um, they have a handful of other locations in other spots around the country.
• 12:28
  Sean McAllister: The first one uh that's going to be operating here in Las Vegas, and uh I've been scanning the menu and the street tacos look amazing everything looks phenomenal.
• 12:41
  Sean McAllister: It does.
• 12:41
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 12:42
  Sean McAllister: I'm excited about it.
• 12:43
  Dayna Roselli: I know.
• 12:44
  Dayna Roselli: We're going to the party.
• 12:44
  Dayna Roselli: Here's the deal the podcast is coming out, but we always say we don't like to lie.
• 12:48
  Dayna Roselli: We went to the party on Thursday, but we're recording this on Wednesday, so we haven't actually gone yet.
• 12:53
  Dayna Roselli: But we are looking forward to seeing the food, tasting the food, having some drinks and some tequila.
• 12:59
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 13:00
  Sean McAllister: I think it's gonna be a hot spot.
• 13:01
  Dayna Roselli: I think so too.
• 13:02
  Dayna Roselli: And it's right there near the spiral escalator in the forum shop.
• 13:07
  Dayna Roselli: So really easy to find.
• 13:08
  Dayna Roselli: And that's a lovely area uh with shopping and other restaurants there.
• 13:12
  Dayna Roselli: And it's a Baja Soquel Fair, if you're wondering what kind of Mexican food it is.
• 13:18
  Dayna Roselli: Um, so like you said, you know, street tacos and different things like that.
• 13:22
  Dayna Roselli: Uh, we look forward to that.
• 13:24
  Dayna Roselli: When we're there, we are going to also be accompanied by Heather Gay of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and then also Audrina Patridge from The Hills New Beginning.
• 13:38
  Dayna Roselli: She's gonna be there too.
• 13:39
  Sean McAllister: I used to love the Hills, me too.
• 13:41
  Sean McAllister: I don't think I ever missed an episode.
• 13:44
  Dayna Roselli: I agree.
• 13:44
  Sean McAllister: I loved it, and Laguna Beach before that.
• 13:47
  Dayna Roselli: And I'll admit, every now and then I go down the Spencer Pratt rabbit hole on TikTok because he's always on there now.
• 13:53
  Dayna Roselli: And I like can't get over the fact that you know it's been so long since the Hills, and it's like Spencer and Heidi and they're still together.
• 14:01
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, they're still together.
• 14:03
  Dayna Roselli: Um, gosh, back in the day when I worked for Life and Style magazine, they were the hot that whole Hills crew.
• 14:08
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I had to spy on them all the time.
• 14:11
  Dayna Roselli: So that was my job for$200 a night.
• 14:16
  Dayna Roselli: Anyway, yeah, I look forward to seeing Audrina.
• 14:18
  Dayna Roselli: She's really done well for herself.
• 14:19
  Dayna Roselli: I'm glad.
• 14:20
  Sean McAllister: She has.
• 14:21
  Sean McAllister: And it'll be fun to hang out with Heather Gay from the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
• 14:27
  Sean McAllister: Of course, this is part of the Big Housewives franchise on the Bravo network.
• 14:33
  Sean McAllister: Um, and Heather is also just out with a new book called Bad Mormon.
• 14:39
  Dayna Roselli: And Sean, I know you watch Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and you were saying for you, Heather's really kind of the standout in that cast, right?
• 14:46
  Dayna Roselli: The one that you respect the most, like the most, the most real.
• 14:49
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, I feel like she is the most real.
• 14:52
  Sean McAllister: I relate with her responses to things a little more than I do with some of the others.
• 14:59
  Sean McAllister: Um and so I think it's not surprising that she came out.
• 15:03
  Sean McAllister: This is a memoir, and it, you know, chronicles her journey from, you know, growing up within the the Mormon faith and then the uh things she encountered along the way that ultimately led to her, you know, stepping away from the church.
• 15:18
  Sean McAllister: And that's what this is all about.
• 15:21
  Dayna Roselli: All right.
• 15:21
  Dayna Roselli: Well, we had a great conversation with Heather.
• 15:24
  Dayna Roselli: I really liked her too, even though I haven't seen the show.
• 15:27
  Dayna Roselli: Loved our conversation.
• 15:28
  Dayna Roselli: So we talk about the book.
• 15:30
  Dayna Roselli: She's on her way uh here to do a book signing, and then also she's gonna be at the Soul Cosina opening, as we said, and then we also talk to her about her kind of ties to Las Vegas because she has quite a quite a history here.
• 15:48
  Sean McAllister: Heather, great to see you.
• 15:50
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, hi, thank you for having me.
• 15:52
  Dayna Roselli: We love having you on, and we know that you love Las Vegas too, so we'll get to that in a little bit.
• 15:57
  Sean McAllister: The podcast is Vegas Revealed.
• 15:59
  Sean McAllister: We reveal a lot of what goes on here in Las Vegas, but you're revealing a lot of what goes on in the Mormon church and society surrounding everything in your new book, Bad Mormon.
• 16:13
  Sean McAllister: I know that you had reservations about doing it, worried about the consequences of family, friends, even the church.
• 16:19
  Sean McAllister: Do you still have uh reservations or worries now that the book is in people's hands?
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, like even more so now because you know the book has a lot of juicy details.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_01: If that's the kind of things that I always vowed that I would, you know, hold sacred, but I no longer hold them sacred and I revealed those secrets.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_01: So I think the fallout is just beginning.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I'm I'm curious how it's gonna affect my daily life in my community because this is the world I live in.
• 16:51
  Dayna Roselli: Well, I'm already starting, you know, I flip through, I go down the rabbit hole hole of uh TikTok sometimes, and I see a lot of uh TikToks, you know, and trends of Mormons showing kind of some of the rules that they break or and dispelling some of the myths or telling why they do this.
• 17:06
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, so it's definitely something that's being talked about more.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think that a lot of the social activism has kind of pushed the conversation forward, you know, it's a younger generation now, they're not willing to really just accept the status quo.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_01: They're forcing transparency on their churches.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_01: And if especially if you're giving 10% of your income, you can't have you can't align yourself with doctrine or policies that are bigoted and racist and you know, homophobic.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_01: It's just it it doesn't it doesn't work, and so it's forcing a huge purge in the Mormon church.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_01: You know, there's an exodus going on right now, and I feel like bad Mormon and the people that are resonating with it are kind of that counterculture that's emerging as a result, which is for me, you know, is fascinating because I always felt totally alone in my doubts, in my sins, in my inability to make it work.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_01: And now to know that there's you know throngs of us and we're growing in number, and you can see that community on TikTok and Instagram, I'm hoping that Bad Mormon is the Bible that brings us all together and we can, you know, really activate change and do some good.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_01: Mormons are great at service, you know.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_01: Let's let's get all the bad Mormons together and see how we can change the world.
• 18:26
  Dayna Roselli: Well, and and you're coming to Las Vegas for a book signing.
• 18:28
  Dayna Roselli: And I know when people have book signings, you know, a lot of times when it's a fictional book, you love to hear how people like the book and stuff.
• 18:34
  Dayna Roselli: But this is going to be a very personal moment for you because you're gonna see people face to face who have read your book and are going to talk to you.
• 18:41
  Dayna Roselli: So um, are you looking forward to this?
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_01: Listen, I leave these book signings, I'm sure, with a thousand new best friends.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_01: I give out my number, we cry, we hug, we're embrace, you know, it's it's like a community.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_01: We know what it feels like to be seen, especially when we've been rejected by everyone that we loved and that defined us for the most of our life, you know, and it's it can be lonely and it can be shameful.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_01: And so I think that those emotional connections of just finding our own and finding strength in numbers is what I look forward to about meeting people that have read the book and resonated with it.
• 19:19
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 19:19
  Sean McAllister: And that book signing is uh coming up February 10th at uh the Beverly Theater, the brand new Beverly Theater.
• 19:26
  Sean McAllister: Do you have a long history with coming to Las Vegas, Heather?
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, I as bad bad Mormon, we used to take the uh voyage from Provo to Vegas, plus Howard Hughes and my ex-husband's grandfather, you know, helped run the Frontier Hotel.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_01: We have Vegas ties that go deep back to Steve Wynne.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_01: And then my uncle was the mayor of North Las Vegas.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_01: So I love Vegas.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_01: It is a bad Mormon's heaven on earth, and I can't wait to get back there.

• 20:06
  SPEAKER_01: I will play all night.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_01: I call it a slow burn because you never really leave with money, but you can play all night long.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_01: And I love blackjack, and I'm I tend to always bet on black 29 on roulette at least once a night.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_01: You'll find me in the casinos and at the shows.

  Sean McAllister: Do you love do you like the the spa experience in Las Vegas?
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_01: You know, you would you would think that I'm a spa girl, but I'm much more into um gambling and drinking than I am into self-care.

  Dayna Roselli: Hey, the Jacksons are coming back to Las Vegas.
• 22:19
  Dayna Roselli: I'm excited about this one.
• 22:20
  Sean McAllister: How about that?
• 22:21
  Sean McAllister: I mean, I remember a time when any of the Jacksons could have been performing on stage at any given time here in Las Vegas.
• 22:31
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 22:32
  Sean McAllister: And I feel like it's been a minute.
• 22:34
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 22:34
  Dayna Roselli: It has.
• 22:35
  Dayna Roselli: I remember going to their show over at was it Planet Hollywood?
• 22:38
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I think in the old Peep Show Theater, which is Oh yeah.
• 22:41
  Dayna Roselli: What is even in there now?
• 22:43
  Sean McAllister: Uh that is Chris Angel.
• 22:45
  Dayna Roselli: Is it Chris Angels Theater?
• 22:46
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 22:47
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, yeah, you're right.
• 22:48
  Dayna Roselli: Okay, yeah.
• 22:48
  Dayna Roselli: Duh.
• 22:49
  Dayna Roselli: Yes, you're right.
• 22:50
  Dayna Roselli: Of course.
• 22:50
  Dayna Roselli: So it was in the Chris Angel Theater before Chris was in there.
• 22:54
  Dayna Roselli: They did like a two-day thing or something like that.
• 22:56
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and I saw it.
• 22:57
  Dayna Roselli: It was good.
• 22:58
  Dayna Roselli: I loved it.
• 22:59
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I don't think I think there were, let's see, this one's gonna have Tito, Jackie, and Marlin.
• 23:05
  Dayna Roselli: Um, they're coming to the Pearl Concert Theater over at the Palms, and that is on April 1st.
• 23:11
  Dayna Roselli: But I think maybe there was one more in the it was a Jackson four when they went to Hollywood.
• 23:18
  Sean McAllister: Yes.
• 23:19
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 23:19
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but now we've got the Jackson III.
• 23:21
  Dayna Roselli: No, but three of the original members.
• 23:24
  Dayna Roselli: So they, you know, they put on quite a show.
• 23:27
  Dayna Roselli: They sound great.
• 23:28
  Dayna Roselli: If you want to be entertained, I just love the Jacksons music.
• 23:31
  Sean McAllister: It it's so good.
• 23:33
  Sean McAllister: It really is, especially like from the early days, like the Jackson 5 kind of stuff.
• 23:38
  Sean McAllister: You know, that's gonna bring back memories.
• 23:40
  Sean McAllister: And of course, you know, they all grew up performing, so they put on one heck of a show.
• 23:46
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and it does say because some people always wonder, are they gonna try and sing new stuff?
• 23:49
  Dayna Roselli: No, it says the performance will include all of their mega hits made famous with their brother Michael Jackson.
• 23:55
  Sean McAllister: So it's the stuff you want to hear.
• 23:57
  Sean McAllister: It is.
• 23:57
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, we love that.
• 23:58
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, welcome back, the Jacksons.
• 24:00
  Sean McAllister: Uh, we have an all-new casino opening on Fremont Street.
• 24:05
  Sean McAllister: You know, you think of Fremont Street, you think the Fremont Street Experience in downtown Las Vegas, down by the Golden Nugget and the Plaza and Circa, uh, the D, all those casinos and you know, restaurants down in that uh district of downtown.
• 24:22
  Sean McAllister: Um, this is a little bit further east, though.
• 24:25
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, it's called the Wildfire Casino, and it's a stations casino.
• 24:30
  Dayna Roselli: Smaller, you know, and the thing is, is we wanted to let people know because we also know that we have a big culture here that when a casino opens, people line up outside because they want to be the first to play like a machine.
• 24:42
  Sean McAllister: Absolutely.
• 24:43
  Dayna Roselli: So FYI heads up, everyone.
• 24:46
  Dayna Roselli: Friday, February 10th, you have some leeway at 12 p.m.
• 24:51
  Dayna Roselli: The wildfire casino on Fremont is going to open its doors for the first time.
• 24:57
  Sean McAllister: I mean, that's exciting.
• 24:58
  Sean McAllister: Anytime, uh I mean, those wildfire casinos are are great for the local crowd.
• 25:05
  Sean McAllister: And there's gonna be something like 200 of the latest slot machines on the gaming floor there, which is gonna be terrific.
• 25:13
  Sean McAllister: There's also uh some dining spots.
• 25:16
  Sean McAllister: They have iHop, they have Taco's El Pastor, which is gonna be good.
• 25:22
  Sean McAllister: Um, I mean, you could eat iHop any time of day, even though it's technically a breakfast spot.
• 25:28
  Sean McAllister: That's kind of one of those places where you can sit down and find something comforting immediately.
• 25:34
  Dayna Roselli: Sometimes when the morning turns into the afternoon and the afternoon turns into night, you want a stack of pancakes after that.
• 25:39
  Sean McAllister: And then night turns right back into morning.
• 25:41
  Sean McAllister: Crazy how that works, isn't it?
• 25:44
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and they're gonna have uh, like you mentioned, uh some good gaming there, bar top gaming as well, electronic table games.
• 25:50
  Dayna Roselli: You can enjoy heightened gaming and sports viewing over at the STN Sportsbook, and you can earn points with that Station Casinos boarding pass if you have one of those already, too.
• 26:00
  Sean McAllister: I've got one.
• 26:00
  Dayna Roselli: All right, there you go.
• 26:02
  Sean McAllister: Ready to be used at the all-new Wildfire Casino on Fremont.
• 26:06
  Dayna Roselli: All right, let's do some tips now.
• 26:12
  Sean McAllister: So, you know, Dana, I'm not generally a big Valentine's Day person.
• 26:18
  Sean McAllister: I don't tend to like go overboard with it.
• 26:21
  Sean McAllister: Usually Shane and I, we you know, cook a nice dinner at home and like just have a nice evening at home.
• 26:28
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 26:28
  Dayna Roselli: It's like an excuse to do that.
• 26:30
  Dayna Roselli: Like, but nothing like too crazy.
• 26:32
  Dayna Roselli: Nothing crazy.
• 26:34
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 26:34
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I don't celebrate at all uh uh in the last 15 years.
• 26:42
  Dayna Roselli: Do you know though?
• 26:43
  Dayna Roselli: I have a quick story.
• 26:44
  Dayna Roselli: One time I dated a guy who get this on Valentine's Day, didn't get me anything, like not a card, not a flower, nothing.
• 26:53
  Sean McAllister: Was it even mentioned?
• 26:55
  Dayna Roselli: It was like mentioned, like, oh, I guess we should probably do something for Valentine's Day.
• 26:59
  Sean McAllister: Oh, but it wasn't like happy Valentine's Day, and then it was so glad that we're together.
• 27:04
  Sean McAllister: No.
• 27:04
  Sean McAllister: You bring so much into my life.
• 27:06
  Dayna Roselli: No, and then he was like, let's meet at this Korean barbecue spot where you have to like cook your own food in front of you.
• 27:13
  Dayna Roselli: And I thought, this, I'm not cooking on Valentine's Day.
• 27:17
  Dayna Roselli: Then he was like, Oh, I'll do it.
• 27:19
  Dayna Roselli: So anyway, I got him a really nice tie from Tiffany's.
• 27:23
  Sean McAllister: I mean, there's nothing more romantic than tossing a slab of raw meat on a hot rock.
• 27:28
  Dayna Roselli: All right, this is not part of the tips.
• 27:31
  Dayna Roselli: Maybe it's part of the tips that you should at least acknowledge Valentine's Day, like Sean and Shane do.
• 27:37
  Sean McAllister: Acknowledge it, absolutely.
• 27:39
  Sean McAllister: But I was going to say the Valentine's Day attraction that we're talking about today, I actually will go and do.
• 27:49
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 27:49
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 27:49
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, I would too.
• 27:50
  Dayna Roselli: You know why?
• 27:51
  Dayna Roselli: Because it's fun and it's really pretty.
• 27:53
  Dayna Roselli: We talk about Ethel M Cactus Garden often during the holidays, like and we're we mean like Christmas time.
• 27:58
  Dayna Roselli: Um, you know, and they have a beautiful lit-up garden uh with all the holiday light, and it's wonderful to walk through and take pictures, but they also do something that has returned, and it's during Valentine's Day, and it's called Lights of Love, and it's over at Ethel M.
• 28:14
  Dayna Roselli: They light up the cactus garden with Valentine themed kind of things, and there's Instagrammable moments apparently in there, like you could take a picture with like a big heart candy box and things like that.
• 28:27
  Dayna Roselli: And so it's adorable.
• 28:29
  Dayna Roselli: If you want, that's over in Henderson, it's off the strip, but not a very far drive.
• 28:34
  Dayna Roselli: Not too quick.
• 28:35
  Sean McAllister: It's pretty easy to get there, like 15 minutes, maybe.
• 28:38
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, with the lights and all that.
• 28:39
  Dayna Roselli: Yep, but they have a great chocolate shop too, and they do wine and chocolate pairings, they have cute gift boxes, you name it.
• 28:47
  Sean McAllister: And that was one of the things that I was going to say.
• 28:50
  Sean McAllister: I didn't realize until kind of a more recent trip over there.
• 28:55
  Sean McAllister: Uh, we saw this chocolate tasting room over to the side as we were walking in, and they were doing chocolate and wine pairings.
• 29:03
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 29:03
  Sean McAllister: And you get this flight of wines, and I believe you get to choose like certain chocolates, and then it pairs with, you know, the different wines that they have.
• 29:13
  Sean McAllister: Um, or it may be a predetermined menu.
• 29:16
  Sean McAllister: I don't know.
• 29:17
  Sean McAllister: You can look it up and get all the details.
• 29:20
  Sean McAllister: Um, but I was like, oh my gosh.
• 29:22
  Sean McAllister: I we've been wanting to go back and do that, and we haven't done it yet.
• 29:26
  Sean McAllister: And maybe that'll be a good thing to do around Valentine's Day.
• 29:32
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 29:32
  Dayna Roselli: That that would be great.
• 29:34
  Dayna Roselli: Um, yeah, they do, they do, they also have limited, um, limited edition chocolates around Valentine's Day, too.
• 29:41
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and they recently came on a program I was filling in and they brought in a bananas foster chocolate and a blood orange.
• 29:47
  Dayna Roselli: Oh.
• 29:48
  Dayna Roselli: But uh the woman was saying they kind of sell out quick.
• 29:51
  Dayna Roselli: So I bet.
• 29:52
  Dayna Roselli: But the bananas foster one I popped in my mouth.
• 29:54
  Dayna Roselli: It was it was like bananas bursting in your mouth with chocolate.
• 29:58
  Dayna Roselli: It was so good.
• 30:00
  Sean McAllister: I mean, their gourmet chocolates are top-notch, and they have like the peanut butter filled.
• 30:06
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, I love it.
• 30:07
  Dayna Roselli: That's making these so free right now.
• 30:09
  Sean McAllister: And I'm not generally a sweets person either.
• 30:13
  Dayna Roselli: No, but we both love peanut butter when you mix that with anything.
• 30:15
  Sean McAllister: Oh man, so good.
• 30:17
  Dayna Roselli: Um, but they also pointed out, and I, you know, I was like, you know what?
• 30:20
  Dayna Roselli: You're right.
• 30:20
  Dayna Roselli: You go to a lot of chocolate places and you don't know when they put the boxes together, right?
• 30:25
  Dayna Roselli: But at the M, since they're making the chocolate there and they have the shop on site, they actually these boxes that you're buying, it's like fresh chocolate, and they actually have a little sticker on some of them with the like the date that it was, you know, made and boxed in.
• 30:38
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 30:38
  Dayna Roselli: And you can also choose.
• 30:40
  Dayna Roselli: There are um like boxes of chocolate where you can pick what kinds you want in there and they'll put it together for you.
• 30:45
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 30:46
  Sean McAllister: They have the big case.
• 30:47
  Sean McAllister: Yes.
• 30:47
  Sean McAllister: It's a display case with all the different varieties.
• 30:50
  Sean McAllister: Right.
• 30:50
  Sean McAllister: Because there's some people choose your own.
• 30:52
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, they don't like some people don't like those centers or they they prefer peanuts and peanut butter, or they prefer the, you know, oh, even their clusters, like the clusters of peanuts with the chocolate over top.
• 31:03
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 31:03
  Sean McAllister: So good.
• 31:04
  Sean McAllister: They're coconut.
• 31:05
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, listen to all the things we're talking about.
• 31:07
  Dayna Roselli: It is a great spot to go for a couple hours here in Las Vegas.
• 31:11
  Dayna Roselli: They've got the shop, they've got the cactus garden, um, they got the factory.
• 31:15
  Dayna Roselli: So go go take it in.
• 31:16
  Sean McAllister: And uh, as we move into a warmer season, they also have uh an ice cream uh cooler in there.
• 31:23
  Sean McAllister: So it's like hand scooped ice cream and I believe they do milkshakes too.
• 31:28
  Dayna Roselli: All right.
• 31:29
  Dayna Roselli: I love that.
• 31:29
  Dayna Roselli: And I think they're doing hot chocolate for the cactus garden too, which makes sense.
• 31:33
  Dayna Roselli: Chocolate hot.
• 31:34
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 31:35
  Dayna Roselli: Ethel M.
• 31:36
  Dayna Roselli: Way to stay on brand, Ethel.
• 31:39
  Dayna Roselli: But uh before Valentine's Day, there's a big game happening.
• 31:43
  Sean McAllister: There is the Super Bowl is coming up, it's one of the busiest times of year here in Las Vegas.
• 31:50
  Sean McAllister: People come in, make a multi-day event out of it.
• 31:55
  Sean McAllister: I know we usually have friends who come into town, and you know, we end up usually at a casino watch party.
• 32:02
  Sean McAllister: Um, but there is so much happening.
• 32:06
  Dayna Roselli: So we can't mention all of it.
• 32:07
  Dayna Roselli: There's just no way too much.
• 32:09
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 32:09
  Dayna Roselli: One thing we do want to say is pretty much every hotel casino is having something.
• 32:14
  Dayna Roselli: So if you are interested, you have a favorite, go to their website, pop down there, plan ahead for sure, because they fill up quick, but figure out what you want to do.
• 32:26
  Dayna Roselli: The options are endless.
• 32:28
  Sean McAllister: They are, but we did want to mention just a couple standouts in our minds, maybe some places that might not immediately come to mind if you're thinking about uh watching the big game.
• 32:41
  Sean McAllister: U Container Park is a really unique area.
• 32:46
  Sean McAllister: Um, and that'll make for some good outdoor viewing of the game.
• 32:51
  Dayna Roselli: Exactly.
• 32:51
  Dayna Roselli: And I think that I read that they're doing some some different kinds of like beer tasting and outdoor stuff.
• 32:57
  Dayna Roselli: So that that you're right, that's kind of an outdoor option and usually Super Bowl weekend.
• 33:01
  Dayna Roselli: It's usually pretty nice here, like in the six in the 60s, yeah, usually sunny.
• 33:06
  Dayna Roselli: So if you want to go do an outdoor Vegas thing, downtown Container Park is definitely a cool spot as well.
• 33:13
  Sean McAllister: Also, downtown, I believe the downtown Las Vegas Event Center is doing a huge watch party.
• 33:20
  Sean McAllister: Of course, that's all kind of in conjunction with the D and Circa and all that.
• 33:25
  Sean McAllister: That's a great spot.
• 33:26
  Sean McAllister: It really is, and they know how to use that space and turn it into a party.
• 33:32
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, yeah, that's for sure.
• 33:34
  Dayna Roselli: Then there's always stadium swim over at Circa, too, which is somewhat new to town.
• 33:38
  Dayna Roselli: So we forget like that is part of our sports viewing culture now over there.
• 33:42
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it's a top-notch spot, and it's really very vague because there's a pool, and a lot of cities don't get to be by the pool during the Super Bowl.
• 33:51
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, but Derek Stevens has a bunch of heated pools up there.
• 33:55
  Sean McAllister: He sure does.
• 33:58
  Dayna Roselli: And get ready to have a cocktail or two or three or four or five because they like to get their drink on.
• 34:03
  Dayna Roselli: Um, I thought this was worth mentioning that the Mirage Hotel and Casino is having something because we don't know how long it's actually going to be called the Mirage, right?
• 34:12
  Dayna Roselli: They're going to start making these renovations and changeover to the hard rock.
• 34:16
  Dayna Roselli: So this could be the last year you get to go watch the big game at the Mirage.
• 34:22
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 34:22
  Sean McAllister: And even though it's already changed ownership, um, you're gonna want to get those cocktail napkins, a little matchbooks, anything that says Mirage on it, because it's gonna be a collector's item soon.
• 34:34
  Dayna Roselli: Right.
• 34:35
  Dayna Roselli: I bet there's a lot of people over there that are walking around and like being like, honey, open your purse, stick this in your purse.
• 34:41
  Dayna Roselli: You know what I mean?
• 34:42
  Dayna Roselli: One of those moments.
• 34:44
  Dayna Roselli: Take this, no one will notice.
• 34:47
  Dayna Roselli: All the mementos, the Vegas mementos that you want to sell later on eBay or just have, you know, just have in your presence, I guess.
• 34:55
  Sean McAllister: We don't condone that.
• 34:56
  Sean McAllister: We're just saying, you know, it probably happens quite a bit.
• 34:59
  Dayna Roselli: But yeah, they're doing all sorts of stuff at all the different um restaurants that they have and sportsbook over there at the Mirage.
• 35:06
  Dayna Roselli: Sportsbook is doing a big thing, Rum Bar, the Heritage Steak, Diablo's Cantina.
• 35:11
  Dayna Roselli: They're doing all different packages at the sportsbook, too.
• 35:14
  Dayna Roselli: So check it out.
• 35:15
  Dayna Roselli: Again, look into the Mirage if you want to go watch the big game, get all the information from them.
• 35:21
  Dayna Roselli: It's too long to list, and uh, but it could be something if you want to go have a one last shebang.
• 35:27
  Sean McAllister: And also over at Hera's walk-on's sports bistro is, I mean, a massive dining and sports viewing venue over there.
• 35:40
  Sean McAllister: So, you know, keep them in mind if you're looking for a spot to hunker down and watch some football.
• 35:46
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, and that's over, I guess, on the mezzanine level, um, to kind of explain.
• 35:50
  Dayna Roselli: I think when you as soon as you leave the parking garage area, it's there.
• 35:53
  Dayna Roselli: They got big uh TVs, and and just so you know, when it comes to the menu, it's Louisiana inspired food.
• 36:01
  Dayna Roselli: That's why they call it Bistro, but it's spelled B-I-S-T-R-E-A-U-X.
• 36:06
  Dayna Roselli: Oh.
• 36:07
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 36:08
  Dayna Roselli: Very New Orleans.
• 36:10
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 36:10
  Dayna Roselli: I guess.
• 36:12
  Dayna Roselli: Very Mardi Gras, very Louisiana.
• 36:14
  Dayna Roselli: I don't know what that is, but I like the X on the end.
• 36:17
  Dayna Roselli: It kind of seems like very Vegas, like X-rated.
• 36:20
  Sean McAllister: Yeah.
• 36:21
  Sean McAllister: It's unusual, exciting, titillating, even.
• 36:24
  Dayna Roselli: But that's just a few of our mentions, uh a few of our thoughts, things that stuck out, but there's tons of places all over.
• 36:30
  Dayna Roselli: Las Vegas is the best place to watch the game, especially if you want to do it with other people.
• 36:34
  Dayna Roselli: It's fun, you know, they're cheering.
• 36:36
  Dayna Roselli: There, there's people that have like bets on the game.
• 36:39
  Dayna Roselli: There's people who are cheering for their favorite team.
• 36:42
  Dayna Roselli: Um, and then there's all different kinds of bets you can make, you know, even the color of the Gatorade and all that kind of thing.
• 36:47
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, there are always cries of victory, defeat, complete financial ruin.
• 36:57
  Dayna Roselli: Financial ruin.
• 36:59
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah.
• 36:59
  Dayna Roselli: We're out of the the Giants lost in the playoffs.
• 37:02
  Dayna Roselli: So Sean and I are our bet that we placed is now gone.
• 37:06
  Sean McAllister: $20 bets.
• 37:07
  Dayna Roselli: Speaking of, I thought Tom Brady was coming to the Raiders.
• 37:10
  Dayna Roselli: I got all excited, and then today he announced he's retiring.
• 37:13
  Sean McAllister: I know that was all the scuttle butt.
• 37:17
  Sean McAllister: And now there's I I saw some stuff that maybe Aaron Rogers might be thinking about it.
• 37:24
  Dayna Roselli: Okay.
• 37:24
  Sean McAllister: Who knows?
• 37:25
  Dayna Roselli: Interesting.
• 37:26
  Dayna Roselli: We'll see.
• 37:27
  Dayna Roselli: We need something.
• 37:28
  Dayna Roselli: The Raiders need to change things up, that's for sure.
• 37:31
  Dayna Roselli: But we have the Pro Bowl here uh this weekend, and I was noticing there's a lot of different autograph signings all around town, um, especially over at Caesars, where they have that sports memorabilia.
• 37:43
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, over in the forum shops.
• 37:45
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, exactly.
• 37:46
  Dayna Roselli: And I saw when I was glancing, um, I did see that Eli Manning is gonna be there um Saturday one to two.
• 37:53
  Dayna Roselli: Um, it's February 4th, so you may listen to this after and it could be over.
• 37:57
  Dayna Roselli: But if you're listening to this Saturday morning, Eli Manning's gonna be there 1 to 2 p.m.
• 38:01
  Dayna Roselli: And then 2 to 3, uh the New York Giants running back, Sakwan Barkley, is gonna be there.
• 38:07
  Dayna Roselli: Oh, yeah.
• 38:08
  Sean McAllister: And I believe the Manning brothers are doing their uh ESPN show from Las Vegas for the Pro Bowl.
• 38:15
  Dayna Roselli: Awesome.
• 38:16
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, there's so much happening right around that.
• 38:18
  Sean McAllister: I know they said there were gonna be tons of different events, uh skills activities, community events, doing stuff for you know kids, and there's a ton going on.
• 38:27
  Sean McAllister: So go to the NFL's page uh for the 2023 Pro Bowl.
• 38:32
  Sean McAllister: They've got an i entire itinerary of everything going on.
• 38:36
  Dayna Roselli: And Tom Brady, you know, since you retired, you might just want to come hang out in Vegas Pro Bowl week.
• 38:41
  Dayna Roselli: I mean, Pro Bowl weekend.
• 38:42
  Dayna Roselli: I'm hoping maybe he'll we'll have sightings.
• 38:45
  Sean McAllister: Didn't I see something about uh over at Wynn Las Vegas?
• 38:51
  Sean McAllister: I believe that there is some kind of partnership between Wynn and Tom Brady's like fitness.
• 38:58
  Dayna Roselli: Yeah, or his like leisure fitness.
• 39:00
  Sean McAllister: Yeah, like you can uh take fitness classes with trainers from Tom Brady's fitness business.
• 39:08
  Dayna Roselli: Well, that would be great.
• 39:09
  Dayna Roselli: I would go over there to do one of those um soul cycle classes if it was being taught by Tom Brady.
• 39:14
  Sean McAllister: Well, hey, you never know.
• 39:16
  Dayna Roselli: I think he should do one.
• 39:18
  Dayna Roselli: I would love that.
• 39:19
  Dayna Roselli: I have never met Tom Brady in person.
• 39:21
  Dayna Roselli: I've never seen him play.
• 39:22
  Dayna Roselli: I thought this was gonna be my year because he was gonna come play for the Raiders.
• 39:26
  Dayna Roselli: And then he retired.
• 39:27
  Sean McAllister: But so it's the two toms that you want to meet.
• 39:29
  Sean McAllister: Tom Brady and Tom Cruise.
