1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, Hey, hey, hey, hey, welcome back to the show.

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: How's it going. Oh boy, y'all. Uh, if you've been

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: following us, you know we've been on a bit of

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: an adventure all across Yeah, all across the US, the

5
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: whole southern ASP, basically from Atlanta to Vegas, l A

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: up home, through Utah and Colorado. And it's been amazing.

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: I think we counted and it was sixteen states, fourteen

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: hotels in about twenty days. Yeah, so truly, uh magical,

9
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: wonderful trip, with most of it with our good friends

10
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: Cherry and Jason, who you know from the show regular

11
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: listeners might have heard their Pandemic love Story episode. Uh,

12
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: their dear friends, and we had been planning a trip

13
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: out west ourselves. We started talking to them. We've been

14
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: wanting to travel with them as well, and you know,

15
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: they never got a honeymoon or an anniversary because they

16
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 1: got married in the pandemic. So that kind of led

17
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: to us all deciding to take this trip together. And

18
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: I'm really glad we did. Yeah. It was a lot

19
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: of fun, some friends there and you know, on a

20
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: I guess on a sad or note, um, it was

21
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: a little bit of a hard start. Our producer, Pup

22
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: Hobbs passed away just a couple of days before we left,

23
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: and so that was just sad because you know, we

24
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: wanted to take a really fun trip and we were

25
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: worried about him because he's an older He was an

26
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: older guy, and a little worried about him. Uh, but

27
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: it was really nice to have some friends there to

28
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: sort of help keep your spirits up and you know,

29
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: at least for me, keep my mind in the present

30
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: and not at home. Oh yeah, me too. I mean,

31
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: you know, we debated whether or not we would even

32
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: go because we got hit so hard with this so suddenly.

33
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he's an old dog, but it was still

34
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: very unexpected. We really thought that we had everything worked

35
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: out for him, really good pets that are lined up,

36
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: who was a who used to work in a VETS

37
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: office for many years, Like everything was good and this

38
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: was really ou don't know where. We debated whether or

39
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: not we would still go, but there was so much

40
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: in place already, and and you know, even people said

41
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: like you should, you know, and I think we felt

42
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: the same way. Um, it just would have compounded the

43
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: tragedy to also lose out on this trip. And our friends,

44
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: and I mean, you know, the money notwithstanding that was

45
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: probably the least thing on our mind, but but definitely

46
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: was was a factor. But um, but yeah, in a

47
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: in a way it was. You know, it's something very

48
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: healing about seeing a lot of nature and being away

49
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: from the regular program, you know, the regular every day

50
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: routines and stuff like that. Especially his routine was a

51
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: big part of our day. So it was it was

52
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: so sort of weird, I guess because it was our

53
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: it was a built in break. We already knew, you

54
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: know that for this time we wouldn't be seeing him,

55
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: we wouldn't be doing his routines. So it was almost

56
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: like uh delaying of morning, I suppose. But I think

57
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: it was nice to be away from home and heal

58
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: a little bit. It was a little bit more at

59
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: peace with it, yea, and then get home. And it

60
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: definitely hurt to come home, but less painful than it

61
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: would have been to be here and also be missing

62
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: a trip and also be sad, you know, just everything, yeah,

63
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: exactly just piled up. A lot of sad things piled up.

64
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: So but you know, we did come home to a

65
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: different house than we left, more or less, and you know,

66
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: we are still it was almost fresh coming home. It

67
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: almost felt like a fresh wound because we stepped into uh,

68
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, our our regular life very disrupted and very different.

69
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: And for that, uh, it's been a tough couple of days,

70
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: UM and we haven't really been uh able to work

71
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: that much, honestly, getting jumping back from this trip straight

72
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: into the show, we decided to take a different angle

73
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: this week. UM and instead of kind of doing half

74
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: ass research with our brains half in the game, we

75
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: decided to take a look at our own little ridiculous

76
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: romance here and Cherry and Jason's. And we thought that

77
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: we could bring all the story of our trip because

78
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: it was so massive, it was so epic, There was

79
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: so much that happened, UM, and it was kind of

80
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: a cool experiment to see how two couples who both

81
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,679
Speaker 1: were celebrating, you know, our own relationships because we both

82
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: Diana and I anniversary was the day that we left. UM.

83
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: We celebrated our anniversary at the Oklahoma City Howard Johnson,

84
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: the most romantic I think everyone there had a hacking cough.

85
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: It was a very crazy, but we had many celebrations

86
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: every day after that and Cherry and Jason. You know,

87
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: we're basically never got their honeymoon, and it have been

88
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: about two years since they've been married as well. So

89
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: collectively we were like, this is a romantic trip. There's

90
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: definitely a roll hot of ridiculousness to it because it

91
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: put out the four of us together and it's absurd. UM,

92
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: So we thought it'd be fun to just bring all

93
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: story of our collective trip um, both in Vegas and

94
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. UM, and our next two episodes are

95
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: going to be that while we sort of get back

96
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: on our feet and dive back into our fun research

97
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: and of course bring y'all the recryptulous Halloween episodes that

98
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: are coming up. But I do hope that you'll enjoy

99
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: these stories. You know, as we're doing it, we're like,

100
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody's gonna care wants to hear

101
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: about wants to listen to somebody else's vacation, but um,

102
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: it was pretty fun. And and again when we get

103
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: in a room with Cherry and Jason, we think it's funny.

104
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: So hopefully I'll do too. Hopefully, So stick around. We're

105
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of fun with Charing Jason. This

106
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: episode and the next episode where we talk about Los

107
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: Angeles and then we'll get back to our usual routine.

108
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: That's right, But thank you all for joining us in

117
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: the French come listen. Well, Eli and Diana got some

118
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: stories to tell. There's no matchmaking, a romantic tips. It's

119
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: just about ridiculous relationship. I love it. Might be any

120
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: type of person at all, and abstract cons and don't

121
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: work on great wall. But if there's just the second

122
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: plan ridiculous roll. Yes, a production of I Heart Radio.

123
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: Thank you for the portrait. Oh yeah that is cool. Yeah,

124
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: that's awesome. I love it. I need to buy a

125
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: print of that hanged up on the wall. Well, I

126
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: was wondering because well, first of all, I'm happy to

127
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: have print, And second of all, I was I thought

128
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: it was a little strange to just paint someone without

129
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: letting them know first, But you know, I figured you'd

130
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: be cool with it, Eli, and like, I like to

131
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: use a lot of photos and stuff like that for

132
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: reference this. But then I was really pleased for the

133
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: way that one came out, so I was like, well, Ship,

134
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do more just regular portraits anyway. So yeah,

135
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it came out really good, and

136
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: I think you should definitely do more portraits of me,

137
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: of me specifically series you think that ridiculous romance painting

138
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: would be. It is certainly called for of the two,

139
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, Honestly, I will say with the AI art stuff,

140
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: if anybody really wants some paintings of YouTube that can

141
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:13,559
Speaker 1: really right on and like computer paint me, that's true.

142
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: They'd be like this is Elien Diana with a painted

143
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: by money carrying a corn dog in each hand. They

144
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: probably could do it. Wait a minute, are we carrying

145
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: a corn dog in each hand? Or was Monee carrying

146
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: a corn dog in each hand? Wilt, Well, that's up

147
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: to the AI. But it's that kind of thinking that

148
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: AIS don't have that we are going to really miss

149
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: one day. I would love to see a painting mon

150
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: did here hold these corn dogs. It's all catchup and

151
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: mustard colors. I am in him painting with the corn dog.

152
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: Corn dog? Sure? Both hands? All right? Well, hey, everybody

153
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,800

154
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: favorite guests, two of your favor of guests. Honestly, we

155
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,480

161
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,760

Speaker 1: you all, of course had your whole wedding interrupted by COVID.

163
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: You had to kind of reschedule everything, rework everything, do

164
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: it wait differently than you thought. And uh, within all this, Jason,

165
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: you never got your bachelor party YouTube, never got your honeymoon.

166
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: So this trip kind of was born a little bit

167
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: out of that, right, Yeah, we we have never We

168
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: didn't even take a trip after anywhere. Damn. So it's

169
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: been two years since we've traveled together anywhere. So this

170
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: was kind of like a honeymoon for us anniversary. Also,

171
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: it's also around the same time that we did you

172
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: know that all of us got married. Uh, was an

173
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 1: anniversary trip as well. Yeah, and you know we'd never

174
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: hear about a friend's honeymoon without saying, let me in

175
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,719
Speaker 1: on that action with you. You're going somewhere. Can a

176
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: bitch tag along? Yeah? I mean that's why it really

177
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: isn't honeymoon per se. Right, our best teaser right there

178
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: with us next Flora what a honeymoon is and isn't.

179
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: I could we could be heading on down to Costco

180
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: and being down one are the three bullet points for

181
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: something that has to make it a honeymoon, right? Uh? Yeah,

182
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: I think you could have a local honeymoon. I think

183
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: people do that. Yeah, like a staycation. Yeah, you go

184
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: get a hotel room in your own city and just

185
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: get away from home. So I would say recently married.

186
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: I guess not recently Okay, the first trip, the honeymoon

187
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: is the first trip you've taken since you were married,

188
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: and uh, it has to at least flirt with the

189
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: idea of being romantic, right, and I think that's is

190
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: that it, that's it. It's just too criteria criteria. Then, yeah,

191
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: that was our honeymoon. Nobody gets nobody gets hurt, nobody

192
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: nobody gets hurt, and you're still married at the end.

193
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: That's very us a little threatening. I don't want to

194
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 1: each other in the beginning of the trip, and we

195
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: said hands in the air, if you do what I say, nobody, everybody,

196
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: everybody send us your criteria for a honeymoon. We're gonna

197
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: take everyone's suggestions for what the criteria of your honeymoon are.

198
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 1: We're gonna put together the perfect list for what defines

199
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: a honey And I really start policing people about this

200
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: because that's going out the hand take. And then you know,

201
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: should un an email take us with you on your

202
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: honeymoon and we can do a little investigative reporting. Yes,

203
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: it seems pretty good to me. I prefer to have

204
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: our own room, but I mean, you know, we have

205
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: to be in this room with you. I guess you

206
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: can do. Remember when Nickelodeon used to be, like, you know,

207

254
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: an ad for the Bellagi because first of all, they

255
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: don't need it. They don't take out, they don't need ads.

256
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure they serve ads, but it's like, um, but yeah,

257
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: I mean just it's been a minute since I've stayed

258
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: in any kind of hotel because of the pandemic, and

259
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: so for that to be our first re entry into

260
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: the hotel where I was like, okay, okay, it's a

261
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: very nice room. Yeah, I was lovely. It lived up

262
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: to the name. I was worried that it would be

263
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, stuffy and kind of like, oh, I feel

264
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: like I can't touch anything like old money. By I'm like, oh, yeah,

265
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: everyone knows that we're not supposed to be here. But

266
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: it was really just really nice. That's comfortable and pretty,

267
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: and yeah, I like Bellagi more than I thought for sure. Yeah. Beautiful, beautiful, welcome,

268
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: beautiful start to the vacation. Just walking in a casino

269
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: and like the lobby itself was just was a gorgeous

270
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: you know, with all the colors, all the sculptures, was

271
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: very like beautifully done space. Yeah, they have their school

272
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: like Chijuli ceiling. I think it's Chijuli the glass and

273
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 1: then the conservatory that they have at the bellagio, which

274
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: is free and anyone can go look at it. They

275
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: had just changed it over to the autumn stuff and

276
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: it smelled amazing, and the whole lobby like just pip

277
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: in the face with ball pumpkin cinnamon vibes obnoxious, you know,

278
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: to the grocery store and those those brooms are right

279
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: there and you're just like smacking. But no, like like

280
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: you know, light and perfect. Don't let us have that

281
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: cinnamon normally it won't let you looking for it. It

282
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: was Chijuli. By the way I looked at it was

283
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: like if anyone can afford Chajuli, it is. They don't

284
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: make it beautiful. You felt like you're under a canopy

285
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: of color and just nature. Yes, there is one thing

286
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: I would have done differently. I would have sense it's

287
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: a whole fall thing, which July I would have put

288
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: in a big old like scarecrow with a pumpkin head.

289
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: Really is in he's the scarecrow. And then every once

290
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: while he gets off the scarecrow thing? What is the

291
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: scarecrow thing called? What do you put a scarecrow on

292
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: the sticks? Just because steak I guess, I guess it,

293
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: climbs down, take something and says, hey, I did all this.

294
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: If you want to know more, next you could have

295
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: like a little Q and a yeah and a and

296
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,239
Speaker 1: then you pay them, you know, you pay, you pay him,

297
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: but he keep out of nowhere. I didn't know he

298
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: was another phad. Jump to l A. But you know,

299
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: the big thing in l A is all the people

300
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: dressed a spider man that will like if you take it.

301
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: Are the girls in Las Vegas, the streets on Fremont

302
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 1: Street that like picture with them? The show girls? Yeah,

303
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:18,399

304
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: turn Chihuli into one of those streets show girls, but

305
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: in a scarecrow costume. I deserve better. It's yeah, he's

306
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: hard up for money these days for a glass artist,

307
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: nobody cares for his art, and this is a great

308
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 1: spot for a break. We will be right back. Welcome

309
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 1: back everyone. We saw the Conservatory, the Blagio, this autumnal wonderland.

310
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: We we had beautiful rooms we stayed in, and then

311
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: that night we had reservations for the Baccanal buffet at

312
00:19:54,359 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: Caesar's Palace, fancy Palace, because you know, we had to

313
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: get some buffets in. Everybody was always talking about Vegas buffets, right,

314
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: and it was pretty amazing. Because of Eli's little tricks

315
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: that he was doing with credit card points and stuff

316
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: like that, he got a bunch of rewards cards. So

317
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,959
Speaker 1: we had a very fun experience of showing off your

318
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: diamond status. Diamond status at Caesar's, which gets you priority

319
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: lines and like Caesars ain't paying me anymore for this,

320
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: I'm just saying this. You do get skip lines, you

321
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: get free parking and stuff. So that was super nice

322
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: and normally it's for people who spend a lot of money,

323
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: but we just got it by opening this hotel credit

324
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: card that we kind of needed anyway, and it just

325
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: happened to give us diamond status for the year, so

326
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: we figured we'd go make the most of it, and

327
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: it was crazy, honey. That was the buffet where we

328
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: were esported the fine past the norms that like, excuse us,

329
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: they they pushed people out of the way. For us,

330
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: it was very uncomfortable where the high comes, where you

331
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: get oh, I'm changing. Wait, maybe I am better than

332
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: these people in my body. I was like, oh my god,

333
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: this is what celebrities feel like. I understand now. It

334
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: was absurd. I loved it. I do it again, and

335
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,719
Speaker 1: I do feel a little better than everyone else. Now

336
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: that's there's a little piece lives in me. Now it's

337
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: never going away. It was kind of nice to be

338
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: on the road after that and like really kind of

339
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: just normal hotels and stuff and be like, remember who

340
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: you are. You don't have done in status everywhere. Let

341
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: me go. Let me ask you this. Okay, so we're

342
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: at the we're at the buffet, you're watching your diamond status.

343
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: We're starting to get escorted. If I had gone, I'm

344
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: a man of the people. So I'm going to wait

345
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: in line right these folks because I am, like I said,

346
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: you know, I'm you know, Bernie Sanders. I got my

347
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: mittens on. Yeah, I got my mittens on. I'm Would

348
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: you have left me to wait in the line? Yes,

349
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: all three of us immediately. Yes, we were all very hungry,

350
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: but well, what's the other option? Wait with you? Yes,

351
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: after all the working life did to get this diamond status. Yeah,

352
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: building out applications there, we had eight o'clock reservations there

353
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: at eight o'clock. That's not utilized this diamond status. We'd

354
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: be in a line probably extra thirty minutes past our reservations.

355
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: So I'm not about that. It's all right here here

356
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: eight o'clock for our reservation. Yes, thank you, Johnny. You know,

357
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: to be fair, I did keep my mouth shut, and

358
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: I did and you did wait enjoy between us? Why sorry, folks,

359
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: I'm a man of the people, but not todaytail is

360
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: awaiting us. There's a metaphor in here for capitalism somewhere.

361
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: I don't even think it's a metaphor. I think it's

362
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: just a straight example money changes. Heard it here first. Yes,

363
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: status makes you a bad person. Sorry to everyone we

364
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: shoved out of the way. They were still food left

365
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: when you got in there. Everyone, If y'all are not

366
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: exploiting the point system, I need to tell you that

367
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 1: you should be. Points are everything, and I will evangelize. Yes,

368
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: it's pretty great. It's pretty great. I mean you know,

369
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: there's a whole it's built on the backs of a

370
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: whole system of exploitation that you know I can't fix.

371
00:23:54,119 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: So just take my point part of the problem. That's

372
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: not think too hard. Yeah, I guess we worked hard. Okay,

373
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: we worked hard. We're not rich people by any just

374
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: the lifestyle a little bit of a few points of

375
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: the you know, so we don't lovely buffet dinner. We

376
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,959
Speaker 1: stuffed our faces, uh, any any particular highlights you'll want

377
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: to point out. I just I think it was beautifully

378
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: presented of how you know, it wasn't just several large

379
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: troughs of bood that you scoop slap on your plate,

380
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: you know, some kind of like presentations, some elegance like

381
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: you you know, the whole thing where they say you

382
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: eat with your eyes as well. That's like it was

383
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: definitely a feast for the eyes. There was, like I

384
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: love just looking at all the food. How prevented. And

385
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: also I don't know if they've always done that or

386
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: if that was just the thing that they developed because

387
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: of um, the COVID. Because the little preportioned were great

388
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: because I'm not over stuffing myself on one thing, so

389
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: that I try. Yeah, exactly, the perfect little portions. You

390
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: just a taste. I do have an issue of twelve

391
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: year old plates. When I go to a phase, like

392
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: for example, you know, I just I don't know what

393
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: to get, so I just kind of enough with like

394
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: you know, a cheeseburger with some cheesecut and some and

395
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: some crimbrew Let ice cream and then a brown classic

396
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: children's meal Cramberley. They love it. They like to break

397
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: the top. I first of all, I was I was

398
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: giving Crimberle as a child. Oh no, wonder to the

399
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: motives children. Did they have a little blowtorch in the

400
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: kitchen to like my grandmother did use a blot come

401
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,959
Speaker 1: from money? But we did. We still have a fancy

402
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: bitch in there somewhere. Well. Food was a very big part,

403
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: you know, my family growing up, so you know, like

404
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: it is for everybody, I guess, but you know, like

405
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,959
Speaker 1: it was very like, you know, food was a big thing.

406
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: So yeah, ok, you know we were that, we were

407
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: into that. But pless the buffet issue for me is

408
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 1: I do wish that some buffets. This is a stupid

409
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 1: thing to say, but it's like I wish I could

410
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: go to buffet. That was a buffet, but it was focused,

411
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. We focused on these like

412
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: three areas, perfected them and you can as much as

413
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: you want of these things, like I would be down with.

414
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: But again it's like, I'm not going to start my

415
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: own buffet, so I get it because I mean my

416
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: thing with buffets in general, and and even the bachan

417
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: All buffet, which was very good. I really liked pretty

418
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: much everything I ate, but it was like a hundred

419
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: different foods that were all like a seven out of ten.

420
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: And like, at the end of the day, if I'm

421
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: spending a hundred bucks on a meal, which is not

422
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: something I would do at the end of most days, um,

423
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: I would rather it be the single most amazing dish

424
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: I've ever had than a hundred very good dishes. Yeah.

425
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: I had that same with both the buffets that we did,

426
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: and I was like, this is cool experience. It was

427
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: definitely rad to be like pile shut up, try it,

428
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: move along to the next thing. But yeah, I think

429
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: for the price tag, I'd rather just get it one

430
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: plate of really really good food, which we did do

431
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: several times. So I'm happy. Yeah, like that famous quote,

432
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: like you know, but tis better to have one good

433
00:27:52,680 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: plates to have hundreds of mediocre plates. I think Plato

434
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: said that once. So yeah. The next day was pool

435
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 1: day though, pool day, which Bellagio is an amazing pool,

436
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: gorgeous complex. I guess they have like seven pools or

437
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: something right or several anyway, and they had some with

438
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: like fountains, and then that we were like, we're going

439
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: to be mermaids in there. Your hair. The day bed

440
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 1: is the way to go. Oh man, four of us

441
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: on a big old day be circular couch basically. But

442
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: they were like, the service was amazing all throughout the

443
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: Bellaggia really, but the service there's they were like struggling

444
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: with really heavy umbrellas to make sure that we were

445
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: fully shaded and we had our own server, and again

446
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: it was just diamond vibes, like we're like, mmmm, this

447
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: is gold status right here. You tried to you tried

448
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: to move that big heavy umbrella on your own. I

449
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: gave it a shot. I gave it the old college dry.

450
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: But it's a big heavy umbrella. So we we asked

451
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: our server if someone could move, because honestly, it's like

452
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: it could have been done, but it also could have

453
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: toppled over and landed on someone. It was just like,

454
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: we should not be doing this ourselves. It feels like

455
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: the kind of thing that they would prefer you not

456
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: because you could really mentioned it to our server and

457
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: then she's like, oh, I'll get someone to move it.

Speaker 1: love to love you, babe. That night, I believe we

547
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: decided that we were going to hang out in the

548
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,439
Speaker 1: hotel room for a little while. After we walked around

549
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: for a bit and Cherry and Diana you all hung

550
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: out in the room while Jason and I decided we

551
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: would go get us some drinks. Yeah that in Vegas

552
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: you can go to the CVS and they sell full

553
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: liquor and everything you could ever want. Um, that's pretty

554
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 1: late and uh, if you haven't been to Las Vegas.

555
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: Everything is very big, which means everything is very space

556
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: to part which means everything's a long walk. But the

557
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,879
Speaker 1: Belagio right across the street from a CVS, so we thought, hey,

558
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: this will just take a second. I mean, it's like

559
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: being around and I'm as you know what I mean,

560
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:07,439
Speaker 1: It's just like bridges and corridors and just like all

561
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: over the place. My my big memory from I think

562
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 1: it was that night was the guy on the way back.

563
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: He was like, hey, well there's no more jacking off

564
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: tonight because he was trying to get into a limo

565
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: to go see a strip club. We have wives, have wives, sir,

566
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: how dare you suggest? And if we go to a

567
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: strip club they're coming to damnit. Yeah. It was. It

568
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: was a long ass walk, it was. It was. It

569
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: was quite a journey. But you know what, at the end,

570
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: we did get something that I haven't had in almost

571
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: a year, which is Torrito's. Oh wow, I didn't realized

572
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: that was such a special treat. Yeah, we got the

573
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: reward Dorito's free household. Is there health reason for that? Oh? Yes? Okay,

574
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: all right, Like we came back, I remember you Cherry

575
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: reacting like, wait a minute, are these Tritos? Wow, it's

576
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: like you broke your sobriety. No, no, Well, you know,

577
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 1: during during quarantine, we are the worst food comfort ourselves.

578
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: We're all we're all upset, so we're just eating all

579
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: the things that you know, awful for us but just

580
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: made us happy. Urrito's was high up on the list

581
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: fresh all right, and we just ate lots of Gritos, Skittles.

582
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: I wish, I wish we had, but we did not.

583
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: Reminds me of childhood, just like my grandma used to

584
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: torch modest child. Yeah, I did a similar thing because

585
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 1: the Eminem's world is also on this strip. And my

586
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: food that was trashy and killing me slowly during the

587
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: quarantine was peanut butter of an M So I was

588
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: eating insane amount of them and I have not had

589
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: them in a while, and I was like, damn it,

590
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm going again. So isn't there some because something special?

591
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 1: There's like a secret room or a treasure chest or

592
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: something in the eminem store. What is that? There's like

593
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: a well, the only thing. The first time I went

594
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: to Vegas, it was August. We went in August, which

595
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: is an insane time to go Las Vegas. It's very,

596
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: very hot, and we were taking our first walk up

597
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: the street. We were at MGM Grand, which is pretty

598
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: far south on the strip, and we're walking our way

599
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: north and one of the first buildings you come across

600
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: is the Eminem store, and so me and all my

601
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: friends we go inside and they're like, oh, yeah, this

602
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: is nice. There's some air conditioning, and we make our

603
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: way upstairs. The Eminem stories like four stories tall, and

604
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: when you get up to the top floor there's a

605
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: little movie theater and it runs about like an eight

606
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: minute movie every ten minutes or something like that. So

607
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: we're like, hell, let's just go sit down in the

608
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: air conditioning, and we watch the four D eminem adventure movie.

609
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: I think they're like diffusing a bomb. It's a very

610
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: exciting you eat with your eyes too, you know, so

611
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: you want to watch them m yeah. So yeah, that

612
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: was Cherry and I were definitely in the hotel room,

613
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 1: like I wonder, I hope they're okay. Finally, like forty

614
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: days and forty nights later, we got back with the

615
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: bottle of tequila and a bottle of vodka and some

616
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: sprite board, some drinks, poured some drinks and fell asleep. Yeah,

617
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 1: like we're old. But that was okay because the next

618
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 1: day we had a really cool experience ready like lined

619
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: up for us, which was Me a Wolf's Omega Mart.

620
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: But before we get into that, let's take a quick

621
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: break and we're back. I have been looking at Me

622
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: a Wolf for a while because I got served up

623
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: some ad for their Santa Fe experiences, like an Alice

624
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: in Wonderland thing, I think, and so ever since I

625
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: saw a few years ago, I was like, I've got

626
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: to see Hima Wolf. This is weird and cool. So

627
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: we yeah, we were very excited to go to the

628
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: Omega Marts. You should look into it, because I think

629
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: the less you know about it, the better you know.

630
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: I don't want to go see it, but it's it's

631
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: so cool. It's just this very I mean, you know,

632
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: just the word immersive keeps coming up, but that's what

633
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: it is. You step into this kind of art experience.

634
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: When I was like, as an like, I'm not an

635
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: artist of physical medium like that. I'm more of a writer.

636
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 1: But like Cherry, I was thinking about you, like because

637
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 1: you kind of split up and looked around, but I

638
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: was thinking about you a lot, and I was like

639
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: you it must be. It was so fun as a

640
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 1: graphic designer to come up with all these fake products

641
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 1: that they had in store, these kind of like takes

642
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: on product, like kind of satirical takes on products that

643
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: they had. Just coming up with the ideas, I would

644
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: have had the best time just coming off with some

645
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: of that ship exactly like as a as a graphic designer.

646
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: The portion of the the immersive experience that was most

647
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: interesting to me was was the grocery store because of

648
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: all the like fun labels and designs and logos that like,

649
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, somebody had a great time designing. Yeah, why

650
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: couldn't it be me? I want this job. It was

651
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: a little like I did think of one thing that

652
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: was interesting without spoiling it too much. But as like

653
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, there is like a little bit of a

654
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: mystery to solve there where you have to pay attention

655
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: to similar, Yeah, you have the option to follow it

656
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: or not. And what funny was like y'all like I'm

657
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: a notorious cut scene skipper in game, Like I want

658
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: games to get to the point, and I'm like I

659
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,240
Speaker 1: have I will watch some cut scenes and like bywear

660
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: games and stuff like that, But and dialogue trees. But

661
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: a lot of times I'm just like, I ain't watching that,

662
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: And so for me, I amediately just gravitated towards the

663
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: more immediately accessible stuff, whereas y'all actually took the time

664
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: to engage with the multimedia aspects of it that you know.

665
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: And and it's not like I skipped every part of it,

666
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 1: but I did. I did like the fact that it

667
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: was engaging for both types of visits. Yeah, definitely, and

668
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,280
Speaker 1: people who aren't necessarily as interested in that, right, because

669
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: you could just go through and and be appreciating and

670
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: dazzled by the world they build inside and the way

671
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: they play with lights and sound and sets all this stuff.

672
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: Or yeah, you can like do the reading and watch

673
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: the videos that they have at various kiosks, and uh

674
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,439
Speaker 1: and there is a story that sort of unfolds for you. Yeah. Yeah.

675
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: They had some really meditative parts that were like and

676
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,399
Speaker 1: if you had the time, you could just sit there

677
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: in that one room and like, I don't think about

678
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: your life and maybe some answers would come to you.

679
00:42:56,719 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: I don't bring my diary and just like think about

680
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: I was saying, it would be cool to go for

681
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: like a first date totally somewhere quiet, find a corner

682
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 1: and like kind of get to know somebody and like, yeah,

683
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: you're surrounded by all these beautiful lights and art and really,

684
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, spend time with each other. If anyone goes

685
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:22,720
Speaker 1: on a first date to a meal wolf experience, please

686
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: write in and tell us if it actually it was

687
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:26,959
Speaker 1: awesome or if you were like I wanted to shake

688
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: him off so quick I tried to lose I tried

689
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: to lose him when I crawled through the portal, body

690
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: followed me, Cherry. Thank you for tying this episode back

691
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: to the theme of our show. Thank you again. Okay,

692
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: this is our date night as well. Right, we had to.

693
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,839
Speaker 1: We had you know, when we planned it, were like, well,

694
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, we're all friends and we want to spend

695
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: as much time together as possible. But of course, the

696
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 1: two couples on a trip intended to celebrate our anniverse three,

697
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: so we knew we'd want some private time as well,

698
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: so we built in some date nights. And I know

699
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: you guys had a really wonderful meal, right, he had

700
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 1: like a fancy dinner. Well, excuse me, the library right, yes, okay, yes,

701
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 1: it's called the library at nomad, just surrounded by books,

702
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: very warm like red booths and very cozy, warm lighting.

703
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 1: Just the ambiance is spectacular and it's definitely one of

704
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: the most romantic to eat. I think in Vegas is

705
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: just gorgeous. Um, but Jason has some well like okay,

706
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 1: like the night was wonderful and this didn't go on

707
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: for too long, but I guess there was like an

708
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: Errorsmith concert. Oh yeah, they have a residency at Park MGM.

709
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: So you know, we're today, we're seeing did We're both

710
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,879
Speaker 1: dressed up. We're at this fancy place, but at their bar.

711
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: All these Arismith fans started spilling out into the main

712
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 1: dining room to the point where these two guys were

713
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,240
Speaker 1: just like these two Like, I mean, they weren't exactly

714
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 1: dressed for the venue first of all, and they were

715
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: standing right next to our table just jabbering about like

716
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 1: you know, football or whatever, like yeah, Manna, I love

717
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: football all this stuff. And I was like, look for

718
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: a bar, but we specifically wouldn't have an experience. So

719
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: the waitress I was like, hey, do you mind if

720
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: we move a few tables down, and then you know,

721
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: she moved. It was totally cool about it, and then

722
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: they sat down and she had to come up and

723
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: be like, sir, these are for people eating, don't you

724
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: understand how a restaurant works, not after concert. I was

725
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 1: just like Steven Tyler, come get your fans, you know.

726
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: But they bounced pretty quickly and the rest of you all.

727
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: Eventually all of the Aerosmith fans left the bar and

728
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: no shade to Aerosmith, and you know, lots lots of

729
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: leather was worn and yeah, yeah, open vests. I imagine

730
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: they all left and it was much quieter, much more romantic,

731
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 1: and as far as the meal went. You know, I

732
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 1: didn't want to close my eyes. I didn't want to

733
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: miss a thing at our own concert. But you also,

734
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:39,760
Speaker 1: we had another special request for a dessert, right they came? Correct?

735
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: They can't, yeah, because you also put in a request

736
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: for any thing. You know, a lot of times when

737
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: we do our reservations, they ask you if it's a

738
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 1: special occasion, right, And honestly, every time I say, yesterday better,

739
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: no matter of it isn't it is because you never

740
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: know what kind of like one little parking might get

741
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:03,359
Speaker 1: exactly every day, is a special occasion that's exactly right

742
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: at your establishment, it is I put down that it

743
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: is our it was our honeymoon. Yes, so I just

744
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,799
Speaker 1: because I'm like, I don't know they might give us something,

745
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: and I completely forgot about it. But they showed up

746
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 1: with this cotton candy on a big, very long stick

747
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 1: and then they put the stick on a little stand.

748
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 1: So it was just basically presenting a fans way of

749
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: presenting cotton candy and a card that's congratulations, and everybody,

750
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:39,800
Speaker 1: all the staff of the restaurants signed it very and

751
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: just unexpected, because again I totally forgot I even did that.

752
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,399
Speaker 1: So they're like, just when we all wanted to say

753
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: congratulations on getting married, and we're all very glad that

754
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 1: you're here with us tonight. And it's very sweet. And

755
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: they also gave us port wine with our dessert for

756
00:47:56,239 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: free complimentary. Yeah, and we also had a dessert along

757
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 1: with that, just like some kind of coffee. I think

758
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: they called it coffee cake, but you know it's not

759
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 1: yeah faces like Vegas. So it's it's like deconstructed like

760
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 1: you know home with like granata, granata granita, yeah, ice

761
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: kind of shaped ice, different flavors. Yeah, it was a

762
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 1: coffee granites. I have had a weird side effects from

763
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: that car, and then that they gave us that is,

764
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 1: you know, well just since we got back. The card

765
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: they gave us was signed by all the people, and

766
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 1: you put a card on our fridge, and it's the

767
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: first thing I see whenever I opened the fridge and

768
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:52,879
Speaker 1: someone signed the card. Tuna Mad number eight. I mean,

769
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 1: so there's more than seven tunaments to No Mad Library

770
00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 1: if you want to, if you want to take it there.

771
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 1: The the thing that you saw on the card are

772
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 1: quiet hilarious. The names they haven't chosen to use, or

773
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 1: if they are their real names, I don't know, but

774
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: they are hilarious. That's why I like, I'm like, I'm

775
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 1: keeping this forever because it's really funny and it's very

776
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: Yeah right, number eight. Yeah, every time I open the

777
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: first time, I'm like, oh, number eight. Of course, while

778
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: y'all were doing that, we went to a place called

779
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: best Friend by Roy Choi. It's kind of an opposite

780
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: direction where we were kind of like Shureley, we'll have

781
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 1: lots of dress up time and fancy meals, so we'll

782
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: just do something casual together tonight. Yeah. Yeah, it's a

783
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: nice way of of of of explaining that we didn't

784
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: plan very much. Actually, to both the date nights, we

785
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: were like, yeah, we'll figure it out. This is what happens.

786
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,320
Speaker 1: We've been married too long, You're like anniversary whatever. But

787
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: it was amazing. I love that some of the best

Speaker 1: food I've ever eaten. Incredible. That line is so cool.

789
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: The vibe was really cool, like the food was out

790
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 1: of control. Roy Choi is like a pretty well known

791
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 1: chef and he decided to do something that was more

792
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 1: like street food from his childhood, like kind of like

793
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:19,439
Speaker 1: low concept uh food did but it was done so well.

794
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 1: It was unbelievably good. Best noodles I think I've ever had. Well,

795
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: this was so great about it? Is this a lot

796
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,200

797
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: well in Elisa vegetarian, so I'm like, well, what you know,

798
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 1: is there anything on the menu for him? Is this

799
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: meal going to be worth it? And one of the

800
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,800
Speaker 1: best things about it was that the vegetarian noodles and

801
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 1: the barbecue veggies that they served were insane. They were

802
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: so good that I was like, wow, you know, barbecue

803
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: barbecue places need to take note that you can char

804
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: grill some carrots and really impressed me. Because it was

805
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: so so good. So it was really cool, and everybody

806
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: in there was all rowdy and they like we saw

807
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: a guy and his wife get up and start waltzing

808
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: like like they were dancing to something together, and that

809
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: was really cute. I was like, everyone in here is

810
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: having a really good time. So that was really fun.

811
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: Jason was going to come out and gamble with us

812
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: because we were still bopping around. Late. We went to

813
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: the Juniper Lounge and had a drink and we went

814
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: into Excalibur. We were enjoying Excalibur and sat down at

815
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,959
Speaker 1: a table in New York, New York and text from Jason,

816
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 1: as is going to sleep, but I'm going to come

817
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 1: out and meet you. And then and then what happened Jason, Well,

818
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: was this the night that I said I don't want

819
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 1: to walk, no, no, But you just were like, I'm

820
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 1: gonna come out and meet you, and back where we

821
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 1: were like we're at Paris. I believe the next day

822
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 1: you said you fell asleep with your phone in your

823
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 1: hand as you were texting that, Oh yeah, I had

824
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,880
Speaker 1: a message on I was like I'm coming out and

825
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 1: I literally was not my face, preparing to go to bed,

826
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: and he came out of the bathroom. He was already

827
00:51:57,080 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 1: asleep on the bed. He mostly before me. When you

828
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: make a sedentary forty four year old man walk like,

829
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 1: my apple Watch literally was like wow games today, Like

830
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 1: my apple Watch was the most impressed I've ever seen it.

831
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 1: I did cross twenty steps twice on that trip. Yeah,

832
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 1: it was. It's a lot. It's a lot. Really. It

833
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 1: really seemed like my Apple Watch thought this was the

834
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 1: new normal, and I was like, no, I'm sorry, this

835
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 1: is a couple of weeks, just a couple of weeks.

836
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 1: I had the opposite where I've been using new to

837
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: record my meals and try and track what I'm eating

838
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,919
Speaker 1: and stuff. And in Vegas they kept saying, hey, Lea,

839
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: you haven't recorded dinner yet, and I was like, I'm

840
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:50,399
Speaker 1: not going to tell you what I'm eating. Out of here,

841
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: get out of my business or something. Yeah. Sure, we'll

842
00:52:56,440 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 1: just say sprouts, some carrots, sprouts. Yeah. And he's like,

843
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: just don't don't work, don't tell you. He's always listening.

844
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:12,800
Speaker 1: One of my favorite moments of the trip it was

845
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 1: just me out late one night ever, but he was

846
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 1: asleep and I sat down at the blackjack table and

847
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: these uh these two drunk couples came up to play too,

848
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 1: and I wasn't really very drunk myself, but they were

849
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:24,400
Speaker 1: having a great time, but in a fun way. They

850
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,760
Speaker 1: weren't like obnoxious. And they're screaming and hooting and hollering

851
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: because they're winning. And the pit boss, the guy who

852
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 1: like sort of monitors the all the games going on,

853
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: walks over as they're shouting one time and he says, hey, guys, guys, guys,

854
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: I got people sleeping upstairs. And they all like stopped

855
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 1: dead and we're like, oh my god, sorry, and started whispering.

856
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 1: And he's like, are you kidding me? This Vegas? You

857
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:52,879
Speaker 1: can say whatever you want busts out laughing. I bought

858
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:54,759
Speaker 1: it for half a second. I bought it too. I

859
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, we are being really loud

860
00:53:56,560 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 1: you telling the story. I bought it. You're literally like

861
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 1: casino Like also, who would call down to it's just

862
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 1: too loud tonight. The ceilings are two ft tall, Like, no,

863
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: it's good because they was kind of young too, right,

864
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:23,240
Speaker 1: so he was probably let me play off. They've probably

865
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:29,839
Speaker 1: been yelled at again, Yeah, totally, maybe put a bed

866
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,800
Speaker 1: down there and if you can sleep on the casino

867
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: floor you can sleep preferring. Wow, it's like the Princess

868
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: and the Peak. Yeah, if you can sleep through the

869
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 1: craps game, we'll put two dice under your mattress. If

870
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 1: you can sleep through the night, then a true princess

871
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:54,359
Speaker 1: beget trust it. I don't like that. I'm like, I'd

872
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: rather get a call for a real I'd rather sleep

873
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 1: in a broom, closet, h somewhere amazing. So that was

874
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 1: a really fun night. I loved our date night. It

875
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: was a great time. Um. And then I guess the

876
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: next day was our last day in Vegas, Is that right?

877
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 1: Or last? Yeah? Yeah, And so we had plans to

878
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:22,720
Speaker 1: do Fremont Streets, which is of course a crazy experience.

879
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:26,280
Speaker 1: That's Old Vegas where all the old like Golden Nugget

880
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 1: and binions and Horseshoe and all that stuff started. So

881
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 1: we're very excited about that day. We had our breakfast

882
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 1: buffet that morning, UM at the wind which is a

883
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:39,400
Speaker 1: very fancy, very fancy hotell some sites the fanciest hotel

884
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 1: on the stretch. And I know Cherry and I talked

885
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 1: a lot about this, but but it was another place

886
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 1: where I thought it would be really stuffy and like

887
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 1: fro you know, sort of, But it wasn't. It was

888
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 1: really fun. It had a really fun vibe without being tacky.

889
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: It was fancy without being stuffy. It was just yeah done. Yeah,

890
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: it was really really well done. It full to be fair, though,

891
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 1: I was ignored by the crepes lady, the lady who

892
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: made creeps. Yeah, hands on crepes, so I wanted a

893
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: was still upset about that crazy I mean, honestly, the

894
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 1: buffet experience overall was not that. It was not the

895
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 1: same as backing all service was. I didn't feel like

896
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,280
Speaker 1: a special person. Of course, we weren't there. We didn't

897
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 1: have diamond status. We were regular red status at the

898
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 1: wind So we walked in. They beat us with canes,

899
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 1: they shoved us out of the way while they let

900
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 1: some diamond members through. That used to be me. I

901
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 1: know what it's like now. It's worse to have had

902
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 1: it and lost it than never had it at all,

903
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't. Eventually eventually got a crazy cre

904
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 1: That's good. That crap is probably the best part of

905
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: the meal, It's true. Um. But a really big thing

906
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 1: that night was the Neon Museum and the Fremont Street

907
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 1: experience and the Neon Museum is really cool. We had

908
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 1: not done this one and are any of our other

909
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 1: times that we've been. Um so I'm really excited that

910
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: we got You've got a book it way in advance. Uh.

911
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 1: You know, the tours are pretty small and they only

912
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,919
Speaker 1: run every hour. They're they're pretty short. Um so you've

964
01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 1: and so fun though, and I really wanted to talk

965
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: about it because we had this this crazy uber driver

966
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 1: like a couple of days before who had told us

967
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,840

Speaker 1: Brimley had a very strong like accident, No New York.

969
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:03,600

970
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 1: shipyards in New Jersey. That's what this guy looked like.

Speaker 1: I've been to prison. He got yeah, knuckles, tattoos. Right.

972
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:15,120

973
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:17,919
Speaker 1: was like, you know, being a good driver. He's trying
