1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: You may have heard this in the news a little

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: bit earlier. We've got some good old fashioned black jack drama.

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about how you could, you know,

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: split sevens on a table and then you have to

5
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,159
Speaker 1: double down and your whole bankrolls on the table and

6
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: you get beat. Not that I've ever had that happen

7
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: to me, but we've got drama for the dealers, the

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: blackjack dealers, the poker dealers, the car dealers. So down

9
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: at Shelbyville Horseshoe Casino, which is owned by Caesar's, it

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: sounds like the dealers are getting ready to go out

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: on strike. They were supposed to have this big union

12
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: come to Jesus meeting, and it looks like that's not

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 1: going to happen. Government shut down has prevented a lot

14
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: of things from going on here. So a lot of

15
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: the dealers are like, look, this joint's bringing in a

16
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: lot of money and they're paying us crumbs. Crumbs. We

17
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: deserve a little bit better than that, because I'm not

18
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: going to act like the job is super challenging. But

19
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: you're dealing with some, shall we say, people like myself

20
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: From time to.

21
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: Time, some people that may be gone there had a

22
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 2: few cocktails, right, you got some money on the line here,

23
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 2: you get beat.

24
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: With a twenty oh care come on, right, Like they

25
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: got to deal with that.

26
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: It's like being a bartender exactly. You've got to deal

27
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: with the people when they get belligerent and they get upset,

28
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: and they get angry, and you're the only one that's

29
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: staring back at them in the face, so they're going

30
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: to take it out on you, right.

31
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: And some of the dealers have reached out to me.

32
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: They're looking for a new deal. So it sounds like

33
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 1: more than two hundred dealers voted last week to authorize

34
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: a strike with Teamsters Local one thirty five. That's the

35
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: union that already represents the slot attendance the warehouse workers

36
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: at the Shelbyville Casino. Now that Shelbyville Casino put out

37
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: a statement, it was basically from their bosses at Caesar's

38
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: and I'm paraphrasing here. Staff is important. If they do strike,

39
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: we support what they're trying to do, but rest assured

40
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: we will still have people in here dealing the cards.

41
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: If you want to come and enjoy, and I not

42
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: at the casino. Here's what I know about this casino

43
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: and I've worked there. This was the one that I

44
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: worked at. Now, this was ten years ago, and I'm

45
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: sure times have changed. Yes, it brings in a lot

46
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: of money, but the State of Indiana makes it so

47
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: hard for these places to turn a decent profit. That's

48
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: why so many of them have to file bankruptcy within

49
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: the first five or six years. Shelbyville had to do that.

50
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: It was Indiana Live that it became Indiana Grand. Couple

51
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: different sales and name changes, but the state of Indiana,

52
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: because it was one of the closest ones to Indianapolis

53
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: along with Anderson they just got railroaded on taxis so

54
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: for a long time, and I think they finally changed this,

55
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: but fifty cents on the dollar of every thing that

56
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: went into a slot machine went to the State of Indiana. Now,

57
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: again that was during my time. It's different. I think

58
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: it's a less number now, But it's not the cash

59
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: cow you think it is. Because the morons that decided

60
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: to pass all the licensing and review for these places

61
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: thought that it was going to be like New Year's

62
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: Eve times square, three hundred and sixty five days a year,

63
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: when the real reality is it's in the middle of

64
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: a cornfield in Shelbyville, and if you walk in there

65
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: at ten thirty at night on a random Wednesday, there's

66
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: plenty of places to sit down and play. If you

67
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.

68
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: You know, and I was surprised at this because I've

69
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: been saying for weeks that federal government shutdown. How do

70
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 2: you know hasn't affected my life at all? This may

71
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 2: be one of the actual first things that comes about

72
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 2: and something I never would have thought of, in the

73
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: fact that they can't hold this vote because the National

74
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: Labor Relations Board is furloughed or you know, unlimited capacity

75
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,559
Speaker 2: because of the federal government shutdown, which brings.

76
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: Us to great moments in black jack history. This is

77
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: when Austin Powers was dealt a five.

78
00:03:52,080 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: Five. I'll stay I suggest you hit, sir. I also

79
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: like to live dangerously as you wish, sir. The twenty

80
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: beats your five, I'll.

81
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: Stay on a five. Have we got time for one more? Allison?

82
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: Can we do one more? Great moments in blackjack history?

83
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: This is one that just hits close to me. Jim

84
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: Clark Griswold at the table and he can't catch a break.

85
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: Why don't you get me half the money you were

86
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: gonna bend, and we'll go out back, I'll kick you

87
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 2: in the nuts, and we'll call.

Speaker 1: It a day. Great moments and blackjack history
