WEBVTT - My Favorite Pit Boss - Josh 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:04.040 Is there still any any mob fingers in the business 0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:04.280 at all? 0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:07.640 You know, if there is some guys that are attached, 0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:11.080 they're not really doing mob things. I just have family 0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:14.160 that now it's just legit because of corporations. But I 0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:17.560 mean my my two biggest bosses were Paul Sam Pognero 0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:18.320 and Richie A. 0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:24.360 Mafatano. Okay, so they both sound like he's done things. Yeah, so, 0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:35.559 Pasha Tosh Show. If it's Tuesday at six am, you 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:42.479 know what time it is, It's Toss Show. Sorry, I've 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:46.040 been watching a lot of Pat McAfee lately. How you doing, Eddie? 0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:47.680 I'm doing good. How are you doing good? 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:51.720 I missed this past weekend. You didn't show up to 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:55.600 my daughter's first birthday. Oh man, Sorry, that's all right. 0:00:55.960 --> 0:01:02.240 Just send a check. A big week Super Bowls coming up. 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:07.080 I'm excited. I think, I honestly feel this will be 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:10.720 the year that the Buffalo Bills finished the job. 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:12.560 The Bills were eliminated. 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:16.040 You serious? Oh yeah, you're telling me that the Buffalo 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.000 Bills are no longer in the playoffs. 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:19.920 Not in the playoffs. 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:24.280 That's crazy because they get to pick what day they 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:27.760 play on. You know, when is the weather going to 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:31.560 be best for us, and Josh Allen is just the 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:36.560 future of everything. Hmm. Maybe we can at least reuse 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:40.360 that graphic now that they lost that you misspelled Eddie 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:45.280 the two and a half years that this current Buffalo 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:50.160 Bills team had potential, and then you misspelled potential. Here's 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:52.760 the problem with our show when we put graphics up 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:56.480 is that I'm the worst speller in the world, and 0:01:56.520 --> 0:02:00.280 the second worst speller in the world is Eddie. So 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.280 now you've got you've got two people that can't spell 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:07.000 and things slip through the crack when there's only a 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:12.160 three person team anyway. All right, So the so the 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.560 Buffalo Bill's lost, Well that's that's that's too bad. But 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:19.280 I am I am looking forward to the super Bowl. 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:19.680 Now. 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:23.600 Normally this time of the year, I'm in Vegas. For 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:29.120 over fifteen years, I've had a residency at the Mirage, 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:33.400 and I always perform the week before the weekend before 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.080 the Super Bowl so that i can place all my bets. 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.480 So now I'm not at the Mirage anymore because the Mirage, 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.360 as some of you may know, was bought by the 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.160 Seminal Casino and it's going to be a hard rock, 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.120 and they're going to tear down the volcano. From the 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:57.760 ashes of the volcano, a guitar will rise a new 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.519 beacon on the strip. Now, I may go back when 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:05.040 they finished that switchover, because I have a great relationship 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.960 with the Seminoles. But now I'm jumping ship for the 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:12.200 time being. I'm performing at a new casino for the 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:16.800 first time in fifteen years, and I'm gonna make that announcement, 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:24.799 but not today. That's what you call a tease, all right. 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:29.320 Super Bowl fifty eight is this weekend against the San 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:33.520 Francisco forty nine Ers versus the Kansas City Chiefs. The 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:37.640 forty nine Ers are favored by two points. I will 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.920 be betting on the Kansas City Chiefs. Why you ask, Getty, 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:47.400 Because Taylor Swift doesn't lose. She just doesn't lose. You know, 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:49.400 last time I brought her up on the show, I 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.240 said something to the effect of that I love everything 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:57.080 about her, and you know, I teased one of her 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.120 lyrics that I took too literally or something that. But 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.560 people are like, oh, you like everything about Taylor Swift, 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:07.120 And the answer is I do. I'm a fan, you know, 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:11.280 is her music meant for me? A forty eight year old. No, 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.200 but I mean I can still listen to some of it. 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.160 I get why it's hits. That one song with Bonavert, 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:21.000 I like that one where he's just like, ooh, I 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.040 don't know what he does. He is, you know, howls 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.560 in a weird voice. I like a lot of her songs. 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:28.400 That's it's fine, it is what it is. It's son again, 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.200 it's not meant for me. I can appreciate it still. 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.960 But here's where she won me over. This is why 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:41.719 I am a SWIFTYE for life. Because when that radio 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:45.760 DJ grabbed her ass, groped her, and then she says, well, 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:47.360 I'm gonna sue you, and he's like, I didn't do anything. 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.000 He's like I'm She's like, I'm gonna sue you for 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:53.080 a buck one dollar. She goes to court, flies back 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.120 and forth to Denver, over and over, destroying the environment 0:04:56.279 --> 0:05:01.039 with her beautiful jet, and wins a dollar. I love 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:05.159 it because radio DJs are creeps, and I guarantee he 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.599 did exactly what she said he did. I think that's baller. 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.480 And then when she wanted to own all her music 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.520 and the record labels like eh, we'd rather fuck you 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.839 over and she's like, well, I'll just re record everything 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.480 and I'll tell my fans just listen to my version, 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.520 and they're like okay, and they do it. That's crazy. 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.880 So yeah, good, good for her. I got no problem 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.680 with her. Oh quit pinning the camera over to hurt 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:32.919 her in the game. Why she's the biggest star in 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:38.760 the game. Who's doing the halftime Usher? Oh she could 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.520 just walk out there mid performance, tap him on the 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:45.360 shoulder and say I'll do it from here, and then 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.040 all of a sudden it's like, oh, well, that was 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:50.760 a great show. I mean, Usher's big thing was that 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:56.000 he could dance like Michael Jackson. But now whenever I 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:59.200 think of Michael Jackson, I just think of the people, 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.280 you know, on on the corner of the bed having 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.800 to stare at the whatever. That horrible scene from the 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:08.480 documentary was trying to get through all the padlocks in 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:12.000 the secret attic bedroom. Okay, sorry, that was too long 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:17.920 of a tangent. But that's why I like the chiefs. 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:21.880 All of this gambling talk has got me really excited. 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:23.839 Do you know what today is? 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:25.440 What's today? 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:31.080 Pit Boss Day? Oh? Yes, Pit Boss Day. Now, I'll 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:35.240 probably talk about this in the interview. But when I 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:38.359 worked at the Mirage for the past fifteen years, I 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:42.320 would gamble after dinner. I have a show on Friday 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.280 at ten o'clock. Show goes till midnight. I have dinner, 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:48.440 scarf that down. Usually get a surf and surf that's 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:54.680 a crab, legs and lobster, and then we go gamble. 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:58.280 And he was always the pit boss that we enjoyed 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:02.479 seeing the most, probably because he would turn a blind 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:07.599 eye and let us steal chips. No, he didn't let 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.480 us do that, but it was It was always fun 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:18.960 to see him. Hope you guys enjoy Pasha. If you've 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.040 ever seen me perform in Vegas, know that a couple 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:24.160 hours later this guy watched me gamble your hard earned 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:27.640 money away. My favorite pit boss from the beautiful Mirage 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:31.880 Resort in Casino in Las Vegas. Josh, how you doing good? 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:32.800 Life is good? 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:34.080 Yeah? I cannot complain. 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.120 Oh I don't never understand people can't complain. I could 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.480 complain constantly all day long. 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:41.640 I just don't want to hear it. Oh you don't 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.720 hear it, not from me, just people like everyone's got 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:46.120 their things. 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.680 Do you hate people? No, you don't get sick of 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:49.760 people in your line work. 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.240 I actually don't. I think it's you know, it's a 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.000 different job, and I don't know if I just had 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.320 been doing it so long that I'm immune to it. 0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.400 But it doesn't bother me at all. Like some people 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.400 get frustrated with the noise or people yelling, and I 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:04.400 don't know, it doesn't bother me. 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.680 Does the sound of slot machines make Do you think 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:08.320 it's done some permanent brain damage? 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.800 No? But I hate cigarette smoke, so that's the only 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:13.040 part that sucks. 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.960 But I mean it's been nice. It's obviously getting less 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:18.360 and less cigarette smoke. Like all you have to do 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.120 is go into a casino or hotel in Reno and 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:22.640 be like, oh, this is what it used. 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.080 To be, like the beautiful yellowish tint on the inside 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:25.560 of the walls. 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.560 Yeah, it's rough. First question that I ask all my guests, 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:31.720 do you believe in ghosts? 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:32.320 No? 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:34.959 See, let me tell you something right now. This is 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:39.839 why I know that you're like a normal human. That's 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.640 the only answer everybody. Anytime I talk to people and 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:44.120 they say that they believe in goes, I'm like, oh, 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:46.960 I'm getting ready to have a conversation with an absolute 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:51.800 fucking lunatic. All right, Josh, where are you from? Originally? 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.640 Well, I was born in Virginia, but then I lived 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:56.679 in Washington State for a few years, and then I 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:58.880 moved to Vegas in nineteen eighty seven as a kid. 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:00.440 But you basically grew up in Vegas. 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:02.200 Yeah, that's pretty much all I know. 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:03.439 Do you like Vegas? 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:05.880 You know I do. I mean I would love to 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.080 live like in a small town somewhere, but then you 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.400 always want to go back to like the city. 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.679 So we got to get like a vacation home and 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:13.640 maybe a small town. 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:15.920 Yeah. I still work for a living, I hear you. 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.040 But you can get you can get away, you know, 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:19.520 like a little side and then you rent it out 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:23.559 or something like that. I know how people live. We're 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.280 the same age. I wish we are, right, Yeah, Okay, 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:28.840 within a few months, I think, Oh real, when's your birthday? 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:32.920 June twenty fifth, seventy five. We're less than a month apart. Oh, 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.960 less than a month okay, I'm May twenty ninth. Oh yeah, 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:42.120 look at that. We both just ended up in casinos. Yeah, 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:45.160 was your father? Did he work at the casinos or no? 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:48.480 He did as a gambler and alcoholic. So yeah, he 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:50.720 was a Yeah he put in his hours for free. 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.080 There did that that have an impact on you? 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.120 I think only in a good way, Like I just saw, like, 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.280 don't do that. You don't gamble at all, very rare. 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.480 Well if you if what are you interested in? If 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:03.280 you were, I would rather make a twenty dollars sports 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:05.280 bet and stay home and watch the game fair enough, 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.199 because when I go back to the casino, if I'm 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.400 at the table, I would love to hit someone with 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.680 a chair sometimes because then I'm not at work, and 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.720 when they do the annoying stuff, then like this guy's 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:17.160 got to go. 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:22.040 Isn't it crazy that your job really only exist because 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:27.640 people are inherently bad or like looking to do something bad? 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:29.920 Like isn't that what your job really is? To like 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:33.160 make sure when something bad is going to happen, you 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:36.520 are there. Yeah, to make sure that it doesn't happen. 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:38.959 That's what I always say, Like people like sometimes at 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:41.199 work it frustrated people make a noise. I'm like, you 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:45.000 ask them to come here, make bad decisions, spend money, 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.679 go to strip clubs, stay up all night, But then 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.040 you want them to be calm and quiet. 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.840 Like, yeah, I do. I want to be calm and quiet, 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.240 act like goddamn normal people. I once saw a guy 0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:01.120 like saying horrible things, but he was losing tons of 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.760 money and he was tipping regardless winn or lose huge 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:06.960 amounts of money and they were just letting it go. 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:08.120 They're just letting it go. 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.320 The biggest example I ever have of that is a 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:14.840 Rick Rizzolo. You're throwing the crazy horse, okay, and complete 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:18.160 mob guy, complete mob guy. Yeah, Like, there was times 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:19.920 where he would lose a couple hundred thousand, and his 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.360 mob guys on the side, he would just tell him 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:23.880 go to the car and get the money, and they 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.559 would literally come back with a black trash bag full 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.080 of cash and dump it on the back round table 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.199 and three dealers would count it for thirty plus minutes, 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:36.600 like two hundred thousand dollars cash and loose bills. So, yes, 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:41.400 those people did exist more, but they're still around. Did 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:41.719 you do. 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.320 You have to be a dealer before you can become 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:45.920 like a floor supervisor or any of. 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:49.880 That, pretty much unless you got some old mafia ties 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:51.760 where they might try to slip you through the cracks. 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.080 So everyone that's support was once a dealer. 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.079 Yeah, unless, like I said, there's been a couple of 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.000 times where people show up and they don't really have 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:00.560 the greatest background story. They can tell they just were 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.640 juiced in as a floorman and they're like learning on 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:03.959 the go. 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:08.520 Okay, So is there still any any mob fingers in 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:09.320 the business at all? 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.640 You know, if there is some guys that are attached, 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:16.120 they're not really doing mob things. I just have family 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.319 that now it's just legit because of corporations. But I mean, 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:24.040 my two biggest bosses were Paul Sam Pugnero and Richie A. Mafatano. 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.600 Okay, so they both sound like they've done yeah, so 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.520 but you know they're retired now a couple of few 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:31.000 years ago. 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.000 But definitely there's still people floating around it. 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:37.400 Do you want people to try to like steal or cheat? 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:38.880 Does that make it interesting? 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.840 I could care less if they rob that place blind. 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:45.960 Right, But have you ever seen someone almost is there 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:46.920 any way to pull it off? 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.480 Or no? I mean yeah, if you have like a 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:51.560 dealer in on it and they're like, you know, pain, 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:53.960 like you could be putting. They could be painted like 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.559 a green chip underneath like some red chips and small stuff. 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:58.360 I've seen dealers arrested on the game. 0:12:58.520 --> 0:12:59.480 Oh that's nice. 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.480 So they do watch and sometimes they cheat, and they 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.079 let them cheat for a while so that they can 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.120 learn every little thing about it and how they're doing 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.320 it and how they're getting away with it. Huh, so 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:10.480 they can use it for the future. 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.520 You ever bust any mit autistic kids? 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.520 We see them and we know they're counting. So but 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:19.720 most of time we just call surveillance and they do 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:21.600 their thing counting cards. 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.080 Do you guys really give a shit? Don't you want 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:24.760 people to try? 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:28.839 Counting cards? Only increases your odds? Right? So again, the 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:32.880 casinos there, I guess they're worried that they're not going 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:34.360 to make a billion dollars this quarter. 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:37.200 So I hate anybody that says that they're Oh, I 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.320 brought two hundred and I don't care if I win 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:41.600 or lose. I think, what do you mean you don't care? 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:44.920 Give me that two hundred dollars there get lost? You 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:46.360 ever choke somebody out on the floor. 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.120 Uh, it's been a while, but I have I have 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.479 swung some hands a few times ballpark. 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.920 How many cameras are in the casino. 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:57.479 It's it's gotta be thousands. 0:13:57.800 --> 0:13:58.920 Do you ever go into that room? 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:03.640 Yeah, neat. It's just a bunch of monitors and big desks. 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:05.120 Is there job fun? 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:07.280 I don't think. So. They sit in a room and 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:10.439 they just randomly watch TVs unless we call for them 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:11.599 to watch something specific. 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.000 What type of what type of Is it a certain 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.080 type of person that takes that job in general? 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.120 You it's like security people. They just it's like a 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.400 lateral move. They go from like security over tokay, surveillance. 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.760 Who's who? What's the weirdest group that works at casinos 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:29.560 that you're like, Ah, they're famously bizarro. 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.840 Or probably hard Count hard Count. Yeah, they're the ones 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:34.560 that come through and like change the boxes in the 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:35.080 middle of the night. 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:39.160 Ah yeah, I always hate And it's like, slow me down. 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:42.480 What's the best event in Vegas to bring in a 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:43.080 good crowd. 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:46.120 It's either got to be Super Bowl or March Madness. 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.520 I always work all of the main sporting events. 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:50.880 That's always. I've noticed that. 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.840 Do you remember that I found one thousand dollars chip 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.520 on the floor. I found I picked it up. You 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:59.280 know what I did, didn't even hesitate picked a thousand joke? 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.360 Go oh, like this, here's a dealer. Somebody dropped a 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:05.320 thousand dollars chip. Didn't even hesitate. I feel like they 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.560 should have just like shut down the casino and had 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:11.280 a parade in my honor of just how they didn't 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.240 give a fuck. They're like, oh, yeah, that was some 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.760 rich guy last night that pissed away you know, six figures. 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.440 Yeah, we have some people to throw chips or ripped cards. 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.280 Uh huh do all kinds of crazy stuff. 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.200 Am I the only person you know that's ever doubled 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:24.600 down on blackjack? 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:25.560 No? 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:27.960 Oh, okay, we have plenty of drunk people. Yeah, but 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:29.720 I don't even do when I'm drunk. I think, I know, 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:31.360 I think it's a solid strategy. 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:33.680 You're doing it for kicks, and they think it's a 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:34.360 good investment. 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.120 I also like to double down on hard twelves, thirteens, 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:41.040 and fourteens, just because it makes it makes me so 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:44.320 angry when I lose. By the way, are we supposed 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.480 to tip the Are we supposed to tip you the 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.760 pit bosses of the floor managers? What's the move on that? 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:50.680 No, we're not allowed. 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.600 You're not allowed to No, okay, thank god. If you 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:54.920 were going to say that we're supposed to. I was 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:57.120 gonna be like Pete, it's been a long time. We 0:15:57.120 --> 0:16:01.040 haven't done shit. Ah. How much should you tip a dealer? 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:03.160 You know, it depends on the dealer, I guess. But 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:05.800 you know, it's easier to tip when you're winning, if 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:07.560 you're just putting them up in action. I think they 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:11.280 appreciate that, you know, on a you know, semi regular basis, 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:13.720 for you know, proportion to what you're playing. 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:17.560 Is that better than than just at the end tipping them? 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:20.320 I think so, because I think halfway through some of 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:24.320 these sissies get their feelings hurt. They start thinking they're 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:26.720 not going to get tipped. Oh so then they kind 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:28.440 of I got you. Yeah. 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:32.520 I don't want to ever be considered like a great tipper, 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:34.880 but I want I just don't want anybody to ever 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.120 think he was a horrible tipper. Right, that's bad. I 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:41.040 gotta I gotta tip more. We we tip all the 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:46.360 people backstay the watch them, all those security guys and 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:47.160 then the butler. 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:49.120 You guys tip while you play. 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:52.440 Sure sometimes, but it's not like real dollars because we're 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:57.240 betting such shitty amounts. Who was up my butler, Eric 0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:59.600 did you, did, you know? Eric? No. I like this 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:02.960 guy because he would come into my room immediately and 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:08.119 be like, listen, are you looking at Eastern Tennessee Tech 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:12.640 College this weekend and softball? And I'm like what, No, 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:15.439 I'm not fucking He's like, he's like they're favored by 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:18.000 two and a half runs. I'm just saying. And he'd 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:19.920 walk out of the room and I was like, supposed 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.359 to do something with that. He would always have the 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:26.240 most absurd tips and think ah, and I never acted 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:28.800 on anything he ever said. Do you guys still have 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:30.200 the authority to compt breakfast? 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.439 I have some coupons that I can hand out with 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:34.080 a signature. 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.080 I one time when I was in Vegas really young, 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:41.320 and I was probably playing blackjack or something at a 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:44.439 decent amount of money. Uh, and this guy was like 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:46.560 really vested in me. He was like, oh, he was 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.720 like really getting excited for every time I won. And 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:51.639 then I noticed it was like his hand was on 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.239 me a lot. I was like, oh, he thinks I'm 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:56.919 a hooker. Like he thought I was a hooker. He 0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:59.320 thought was like some young boy that was just in 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:01.359 a casine. I was like oh, And I was kind 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:05.640 of flattered in a weird way. But anyway, well, let 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:09.439 me tell people why we actually have a relationship, because 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:13.280 my whole goal I always loved gambling. I love gambling 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:16.560 for probably a similar reason that you don't gamble. My 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:21.760 father was a pastor and we didn't. We weren't allowed 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:24.919 to do anything ever. Like it was like, you can't 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:28.119 listen to me rock music, you can't dance, you can't 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:32.480 a gambling that's a you're trying to win money for 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:36.040 no reason. That's that's against whatever the Bible says. I 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:40.040 don't know anyway, so I immediately loved gambling, but I 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:44.040 learned quickly. I thought, the only way I'm ever gonna 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.480 win it gambling, because I'm not smart enough to actually 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:50.440 be a good gambler, is I've got to become a performer, 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:53.359 because that's the only way i can walk out positive. 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:57.320 But anyway, get into this. So many performers, they get 0:18:57.400 --> 0:18:59.800 huge credits, They blow the ton of money at casinos. 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:04.600 I talked to the Mirage when I first started there, 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:07.520 and I said, hey, I want to gamble, but I 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:10.119 don't like to gamble a lot of money, and that 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:12.920 you guys were nice enough to let me every night 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:16.400 after my show, have a blackjack table in the high 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:18.919 limit room with me and my friends and let me 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:23.200 play for any denomination like five dollars a hand, which 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:28.879 I always thought was kind of the coolest perk that 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:32.639 I could get in a casino. Was allowed to gamble 0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:35.480 for no money because anytime my friends come or work, 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:38.080 when they're blown away that I'm allowed to gamble for 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:40.879 five bucks a hand. My favorite thing to do with 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:42.840 my friends, which you guys allow me to do, which 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:45.199 is really absurd that you, is when they go to 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:47.520 the bathroom, I like to take all their chips and 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:49.679 put it in play and then I just tell the 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:52.160 dealer to wait until they walk out of the bathroom 0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:56.120 and then deal. And it's just so funny how it 0:19:56.320 --> 0:20:00.480 enrages them. But then immediately if their hand is remote good, 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:01.359 they're like, well. 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:03.879 This is exciting. 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.280 Now you've watched me for a long time. How what's 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:08.520
