And I got to attend an event 21 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 4: that it's very odd. How it all fell into place. 22 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 4: I got to attend an event here is one of 23 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 4: the strangest events I've ever been to. 24 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 2: Uh and that's. 25 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 4: Saying a lot.

I also recorded 31 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 4: some audio that I'm going to play for you that 32 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 4: will help to bring you there right beside me and 33 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 4: Lauren as we experienced this strange night for me to 34 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 4: talk about on strange things. 35 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 2: Now. Right off the bat, I said, muckbang. 36 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 4: I'm willing to bet most of you don't know what 37 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 4: a muckbang is, and so I thought it was it 38 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,679 Speaker 4: would get your attention if I threw the word muckbang 39 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 4: in there, even though it's it doesn't exactly apply to 40 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 4: what's happening right now. 41 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 2: But if you spend any. 42 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 4: Time online watching videos about oh like professional eaters and 43 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 4: that kind of stuff, people who like compete with each 44 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 4: other who can eat the most food the shortest amount 45 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 4: of time, and so on. You may have come across 46 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 4: this word muckbang, and it actually comes from South Korea. 47 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 4: This is a trend that started in the twenty tens. 48 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 4: A muckbang is an online audio visual broadcast a video 49 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 4: where a host sits there in front of the camera 50 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 4: and consumes large amounts of food while interacting with a 51 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 4: live or even recorded audience. It's a combination of the 52 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 4: Korean words for eating, which is mucknan, and broadcast, which 53 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 4: is bang song. I don't know if I pronounced that right, 54 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 4: but it turns into muckbang, and it's that is an 55 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 4: odd thing in and of itself, because it seems like 56 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 4: the humans are so infatuated with eating, you know, It's 57 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 4: like that's been that's the thing. It's like when kings 58 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 4: want to get together and talk about a peacet reety, 59 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 4: they have a royal dinner, or you get together and 60 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 4: break bread with your friends and loved ones. Eating is 61 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 4: always considered kind of a communal thing that that sort 62 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 4: of makes people feel connected. And so there's this whole 63 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 4: community of muckbangers out there. These are people, and you're 64 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 4: just sitting there a home, not even necessarily eating anything yourself. 65 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 4: You're watching a person eat a lot of food and 66 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 4: they're just talking about whatever. They're just you know, bsing 67 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 4: about whatever comes to mind. 68 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 2: That's what a muckbang is. 69 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 4: And I think that's a good example of why there 70 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 4: is something kind of odd and dare I say, even 71 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 4: mystical about eating, and therefore I have always been absolutely 72 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 4: fascinated by watching videos of these professional competitive eaters. There 73 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 4: are a ton of them now who have YouTube channels, 74 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 4: and a typical video would be like, you know, you, you 75 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 4: sit there and somebody like, for example, Adam uh from 76 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 4: there's a guy, I'll be talking about him. 77 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 2: More a little bit later. What is his last name? 78 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, he he there's this English guy and he has 79 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 4: he's he's actually quite short, and he's a he's a 80 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 4: little man. He's very very fit, but he is a 81 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 4: he is a small man and I should have looked 82 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 4: up his name in advance. But he has a big, long, 83 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 4: puffy beard and he if In fact, if you have 84 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 4: any sort of knowledge about like the English pirate black Beard, 85 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 4: I imagine that this is sort of what black Beard 86 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 4: looked like, except black Beard was a big intimidating guy, 87 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 4: and this guy, Adam Adam Moran, who goes by his 88 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 4: channels called Beard meets Food has millions and millions of viewers, 89 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 4: and basically, you know, a typical video might be fifteen 90 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 4: minutes where he finds a place that has a food 91 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 4: challenge and he travels all over the world and he'll 92 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 4: sit down and he'll maybe they have a gigantic pizza 93 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 4: or the biggest bowl apasta you've ever seen or whatever, 94 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 4: and there's a time limit and he has to sit 95 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 4: there and you know, scarf this stuff down and he's 96 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 4: giving like funny commentary at the same time. He usually wins, 97 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 4: and it's amazing every time because again he's not a 98 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 4: big dude. And this has become so popular that many 99 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 4: of these professional competitive eaters, I think they make most 100 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 4: of their money off of YouTube views. It's not just 101 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 4: about collecting prizes at eating competitions. 102 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 2: And there are a lot of them that do this. 103 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 4: There is a guy named Bob Stout or goes by 104 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 4: the Notorious Bob. I'll be talking more about him later. 105 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 4: There is Brandon the garbage disposal Clark. I've mentioned him before. 106 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 4: There are a lot of about them out there, and 107 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 4: sometimes it's about just how much they can consume, and 108 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 4: sometimes it's about how much they can consume in a 109 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 4: certain period of time. But it's always to me it's 110 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 4: superhuman because I don't know, I do not know how 111 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 4: that they do it. I mean physiologically, how that they 112 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 4: do it. I'll give you some examples. This guy Notorious Bob, 113 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 4: I actually got to meet him again. I'll talk about 114 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 4: him later. He ate twenty three point four pounds in 115 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 4: six minutes. On another occasion, he ate fifty nine point 116 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 4: six pounds in four hours. 117 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 2: Joey Chestnut, you probably know his name. 118 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 4: He might be the most famous competitive eater because he's 119 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 4: always eating the hot dogs. He ate fifteen zero point 120 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 4: seventy five pounds of boloona boloney in eight minutes. By 121 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 4: the way, I'm giving out a lot of measurements on 122 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 4: this show, and sometimes I'll be able to tell you 123 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 4: in kilograms and meters, and sometimes I want that would 124 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 4: take up too much time for me to convert everything. 125 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 4: And then you have like, for example, this guy kelvin Medina, 126 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 4: he ate an entire twelve inch pizza in twenty three seconds. 127 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 4: I mean, this is the kind of stuff I'm talking about. 128 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 4: And I have actually seen videos where sometimes people participate 129 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 4: in these things and they end up having to go 130 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 4: to the hospital and they get in some very serious trouble. 131 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 4: And in fact, my wife Lauren recently showed me some 132 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 4: X rays that were taken at some point of a 133 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 4: professional eater right after eating some enormous amount, and that 134 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 4: the stomach is so expanded inside the you know, the 135 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 4: tour so that all the other vital organs are just 136 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 4: smushed into little things up against the bones. And I mean, 137 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 4: it looks horrible, and I just don't know how that 138 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 4: these people are able to do this over and over again, 139 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 4: especially since some of them are very small. And I'll 140 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 4: give you again, I'm going to get into this and 141 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 4: give you some examples later. Maybe one of the reasons 142 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 4: that I'm so fascinated by how they are able to 143 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 4: shove in so much food like this is because it's 144 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 4: I cannot relate to it at all. I've always had 145 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 4: digestive problems my whole life, and I hardly ever finish 146 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 4: an entire meal. Hardly ever, And which is weird because 147 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 4: you think i'd be slim. But now that I'm getting 148 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 4: I'm starting to get old. Okay, Now, it's like I'm 149 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 4: always trying to lose like twenty pounds, and you know, 150 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 4: it's just you know how it is, you know how 151 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 4: it is, So I just can't imagine having the ability 152 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 4: to do that. And what's funny is that a part 153 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 4: of you thinks, like that must be wonderful to be 154 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 4: able to sit down and just cram all this stuff 155 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 4: you enjoy in your mouth like that. But then oftentimes, 156 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 4: you know, you talk to some of them afterward, like 157 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 4: I did the other night, and they're like, I'm going 158 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 4: straight to my hotel room. I feel terrible, and which 159 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 4: which brings me to what I got to do, because 160 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 4: I was surprised to find out recently that there was 161 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 4: going to be an event the night before the Super 162 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 4: Bowl here in Las Vegas at the Plaza Hotel in 163 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 4: downtown Las Vegas called Wing Bowl twenty twenty six. Wing 164 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 4: Bowl twenty twenty six. This is an event that took 165 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 4: place for years in Philadelphia, I believe, where it's like 166 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 4: all these people get together and these competitive eaters and 167 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 4: they have two or three rounds and they see who 168 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 4: can eat the most wings in a certain time period 169 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 4: like ten minutes, and then at the end, the winner 170 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 4: gets a big check for thousands of dollars, and this 171 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 4: for some reason fizzled out in Philadelphia, but they decided 172 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 4: to reboot this whole thing here in Las Vegas. And 173 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 4: so guess what, Yes, I. 174 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 2: Got two tickets. 175 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 4: I got one for myself one for Lauren. We went 176 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 4: to the Plaza Hotel the night before Super Bowl. We 177 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 4: had a great dinner ourselves, which I'll tell you a 178 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 4: little bit about, and then we made our way in 179 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 4: to watch one of the strangest events I've seen. And 180 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 4: so I figured, you know what, if I thought this 181 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 4: was interesting, I think you'll find it interesting as well. 182 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 4: So we'll dig into that when I come back.

A gietato zoom and yesternight 208 00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 4: before the Super Bowl, Lauren and I decided to spend 209 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 4: our evening at the Plaza Hotel and Casino right there 210 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 4: near Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas. And the show 211 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 4: the competition was going to start at seven pm, and 212 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 4: so I made us dinner reservations beforehand. At five point 213 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 4: fifteen pm. At this fancy steakhouse there on the property 214 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 4: called Oscar's Steakhouse. And let me tell you a little 215 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 4: bit about who Oscar is. For one thing, one of 216 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 4: my favorite movies is the movie Casino that was made 217 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 4: in I want to say nineteen ninety five. I did 218 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 4: all this prep for this show, and I can't find anything. 219 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 2: On my notes. 220 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, nineteen ninety five, and the movie starred well, For 221 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 4: one thing, it was directed by Martin Scorsese, and it 222 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 4: starred Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Sharon Stone. And 223 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 4: this is a true story about some you know, mob 224 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 4: activity that was taking place here in Las Vegas back 225 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 4: in I guess the nineteen seventies and eighties. It's been 226 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 4: a while since I've seen the movie, but it is 227 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 4: one of my favorites. If you've never seen the movie Casino, 228 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 4: you'll probably enjoy, especially if you're into, you know, gangster 229 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 4: Scorsese type movies. But what's funny is that when the 230 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 4: actual gangster is involved in the movie, portrayed by Robert 231 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 4: De Niro and Joe Pesci, when they were on trial 232 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 4: and getting into trouble here in Las Vegas back in 233 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 4: the day, a man named Oscar Goodman was their lawyer 234 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 4: and he became known as the mob attorney, but he was, 235 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 4: and he he played himself in the movie Casino, which 236 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 4: is crazy, but I guess because that he got so 237 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 4: well connected being a mob lawyer for years, he ended 238 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 4: up becoming the mayor of Las Vegas. And as a 239 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 4: matter of fact, let's see here says he was born 240 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 4: in nineteen thirty nine and he's eighty six years old 241 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 4: right now. Attorney and politician, Democrat turned independent mayor of 242 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 4: Las Vegas from nineteen ninety nine to two thousand and one. 243 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 4: And then his wife became the mayor, Carolyn Goodman, and 244 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 4: she was the mayor up until just recently. I think 245 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 4: they have term limits on mayors here. 246 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 2: So how about that the. 247 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 4: Goodmans went from you know, representing mobsters back in the day, 248 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 4: or at least Goodman did, to the Goodman's representing the 249 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 4: politics here. 250 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 2: In fact. So okay, So there is this restaurant. 251 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 4: That was in the movie Casino, and the restaurant I 252 00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 4: think it was called the Center Stage back in the day, 253 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 4: and the restaurant is absolutely amazing because it's it's really 254 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,239 Speaker 4: a unique dining experience. The main dining room inside the 255 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 4: plaza is within this giant glass dome, so. 256 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 2: And I mean it just looks magnificent. 257 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,919 Speaker 4: So as you're sitting there eating in this nice, like 258 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 4: dim candlelight environment there, uh, you're you're looking out all 259 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 4: these windows and you see all the lights and you 260 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 4: see Fremont Street, and I mean, it's it's really kind 261 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 4: of a magical place to dine. It's certainly not a 262 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 4: cheap place, kind of a magical place. But they eventually 263 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 4: changed the name to Oscar's Las Vegas Steakhouse in honor 264 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 4: of Oscar Goodman. So, uh, we I got reservations there. 265 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 4: And as a matter of fact, I'm gonna gonna play 266 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 4: a little bit of a little bit of audio from 267 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 4: the ambience in there as I'm talking. They took me 268 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 4: and Lauren to this beautiful little booth by the way, 269 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 4: before I forget. It's kind of funny because at the 270 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 4: end of the dinner, I got up and went to 271 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 4: the bathroom, and when I was standing at the urinal, 272 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 4: there was like a little plaque there with a quote 273 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 4: by Oscar Goodman, and the quote was, there is no such. 274 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 2: Thing as the mob. That's the kind of lawyer he was. 275 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 4: So anyway, you know, it was a Saturday night and 276 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 4: they had like the A team there, right, So they 277 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 4: set us down to this beautiful booth and Lauren had 278 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 4: the filet mignon. I had the Lamb Shops with a 279 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 4: baked potato. We split a Caesar salad, glass of wine. 280 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 2: Perfect. Everything was delicious. 281 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 4: But the thing that I thought was most unusual about 282 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 4: that experience is that when I made the reservation, I 283 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 4: was not able to pick a particular seat, and. 284 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 2: So they took us straight to this booth with a 285 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 2: perfect view of everything. 286 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,479 Speaker 4: And then the waiter pointed out that there was a 287 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 4: brass plaque on that booth, and I was like, oh really, 288 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 4: So I looked over it, and that booth was in 289 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 4: the movie Casino. There is a scene in the movie 290 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 4: where Robert de Niro is sitting there having dinner with 291 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 4: Sharon Stone. And I haven't gone back and watched the 292 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 4: movie again. I'm sure they're probably arguing. They did a 293 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 4: lot of arguing and fighting in that movie. But I 294 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 4: was like, how crazy is that. I've never been here before, 295 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 4: been meaning to go for years, just never got around 296 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 4: to it. There's so much stuff to do here. Lauren 297 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 4: and I go there. 298 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 2: We sit down and lo and behold, we. 299 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 4: Are at this famous booth where this movie scene was 300 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 4: shot for Casino. I love it when things happen like that, 301 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 4: and I knew, like tonight things are gonna crackle synchronousit 302 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 4: thees on my. 303 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 2: Side, and it was so. 304 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 4: We had again excellent food there, and then right about 305 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 4: on time, we made our way to the showroom for 306 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 4: Wing Bowl twenty twenty six. It was co hosted by 307 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 4: a local reporter named Mike and also the dude the 308 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 4: food eater I was telling you about, named Adam Moran, 309 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 4: who goes by Beard eats a beard meets food on YouTube. 310 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 4: He wasn't eating, though, he was just co hosting this. 311 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 4: So they had about fifteen different competitors up on a stage. 312 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 4: There was that fella I was telling you about named 313 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 4: Bob Stout, the Notorious Bob, and some people thought he 314 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 4: was going to win. I mean, the guy is six 315 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 4: foot two. He probably weighs i'd say, close to three 316 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 4: hundred pounds. I don't want to, I don't want to, 317 00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,959 Speaker 4: you know, make up anything, but he's the guy who 318 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 4: eight twenty three point four pounds of food and six minutes. 319 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 4: The guy ate thirty nine crystal burgers in two minutes. 320 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 4: He's bald, he has a goatee, and he's got a belly, 321 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 4: and he looks like a man who can eat. So 322 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 4: I thought Notorious Bob was gonna beat everybody. But the 323 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 4: number one pick was this lady who I believe is 324 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 4: in her forties, a mother of four, who actually had 325 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 4: won the last Wing Bowl and some of the previous ones. 326 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 4: Her name is Molly Schuyler, and she is, from what 327 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 4: I can find online, five foot seven and just slim 328 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 4: as a rail and uh at one point so five' 329 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 4: seven is one point five meters and they say that 330 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 4: she weighed one hundred and twenty five pounds at one 331 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 4: of her victories.

There were 390 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 4: lots of interesting people at this event, whether or not 391 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:18,959 Speaker 4: they were competing. For example, well, you know Dana White, 392 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 4: who founded the UFC, the Ultimate Fighting Championship here in 393 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 4: Las Vegas.

It's called power slap where 400 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 4: these two people will stand in front of each other, 401 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 4: could be guys, could be gals, whatever, and one person 402 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 4: just slaps the crap out of the other person's face, 403 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 4: and then you know, that person recovers and then they 404 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 4: slap the crap out of the the opponent's face, and 405 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 4: this goes on until somebody gets knocked out or you know, 406 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 4: the judges are like, you've had enough. You know, I 407 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 4: can't imagine the brain damage from this because like they're 408 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 4: not guarding their face or anything. At least in boxing 409 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 4: you can kind of like try to shield your face. 410 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 4: It's insane. They brought this guy up on stage who 411 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 4: is at one time he was ranked as the number 412 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 4: one slap fight champion in the world. His name is 413 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 4: Vernon Cassie, two hundred and five pound guy, ninety two kilograms. 414 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 4: He got up there and talked about what it was 415 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 4: like to slap the crap. 416 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 2: Out of people. 417 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 4: So you had all these very you know, interesting people. 418 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 4: By the way, that guy was telling you who was 419 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 4: the second strongest man in Finland, Jesse Pinion or whatever. 420 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 4: They said that he also is the national champion of 421 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 4: arm wrestling in Finland.

So he's always doing innovative stuff 432 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 4: there at the Plaza. For example, they have and by 433 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 4: the way, the Plaza does not sponsor or endorse this show. 434 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 4: Don't get that in your head. I wish they would, 435 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 4: that would be nice. But like, they have a section 436 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 4: that he put in.

I used the 601 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,520 Speaker 4: bathroom and I wanted another drink, so I stopped by 602 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,720 Speaker 4: this bar there in the plaza and ordered my drink. 603 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 2: There was a. 604 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 4: Gambling machine there on the counter, so while I was 605 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 4: waiting for the drink, I pulled a little money into 606 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 4: the machine. Video poker hit the button a few times, Boom, 607 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 4: I hit a two thousand dollars jackpot. Now, before this 608 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,320 Speaker 4: year twenty twenty six, if you hit twelve hundred dollars 609 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 4: or more on a machine like that, that's called a 610 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 4: hand pay, So you have to wait around for them 611 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,400 Speaker 4: to come out, get your ID, your Social Security number, 612 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,839 Speaker 4: you fill out tax forms, and then they give you 613 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 4: the cash. They changed it this year so that now 614 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,399 Speaker 4: they've increased it to two thousand dollars. So if I'd 615 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 4: hit one nine hundred ninety nine dollars, I could have 616 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 4: cashed that out and gone right back into the theater. 617 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 4: But no, I hit two thousand dollars, So now I 618 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 4: have to sit around and wait for them to come 619 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 4: out and do all that. And this was the longest 620 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 4: hand pay wait. It was like thirty minutes. I'm sitting 621 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,239 Speaker 4: at the bar waiting for them to do all this 622 00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,879 Speaker 4: and bring me the money. In the meantime, Saturday night, 623 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,319 Speaker 4: downtown Vegas, there's a young lady who sees that I've 624 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 4: just hit two thousand dollars, and boy did she start 625 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 4: culling up to me awful fast and so and you know, 626 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 4: and when that kind of thing happens. 627 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,439 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. You can say you're married. I don't 628 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 2: they like it. 629 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 4: They're like, oh, this guy's married, he's not going to 630 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,319 Speaker 4: give me any trouble. So anyway, I had to kill 631 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,799 Speaker 4: thirty minutes with this woman who was pulling every trick 632 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 4: in a book to get her hand in my wallet. 633 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 4: I don't know, maybe she was just she was just 634 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 4: being nice. But anyway, so finally I go back and side, 635 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,800 Speaker 4: Like I say, all kinds of crazy things have been. 636 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,360 Speaker 2: Happening with the. 637 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:50,000 Speaker 4: Burlesque show and everything else, But finally it came down 638 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,359 Speaker 4: to the end, and guess what.

They're gonna make every sure everything 651 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 5: is kosher. We have a laptop front and center. The 652 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:45,399 Speaker 5: calculations will be. 653 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 6: Made with a total of one hundred and eighty nine 654 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:55,200 Speaker 6: complete wings. The twenty twenty six Las Vegas Wing Bowl 655 00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 6: champion is. 656 00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 5: Still Molly Schuler. There we go, Vegas. 657 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:12,040 Speaker 2: So there you have it. 658 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,799 Speaker 4: The slim woman won the whole darn thing with one 659 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 4: hundred and eighty nine wings, and in fact, in the past, 660 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure she's eaten a lot more than that, 661 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 4: well over two hundred wings. So that's why I think 662 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,360 Speaker 4: there's something superhuman about all this. That's why I'm so 663 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:37,239 Speaker 4: intrigued by it. And so afterward they came out and 664 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,880 Speaker 4: they just were handing out baskets of wings left and 665 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:45,239 Speaker 4: right to the crowd. And so they gave me a 666 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 4: Lauren a basket of wings that was probably like ten pounds, 667 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 4: it was so heavy. And I actually got in a 668 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 4: room there that night, even though I live here in Vegas. 669 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,040 Speaker 4: Sometimes I like to get a room as just like 670 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,400 Speaker 4: a base camp. So we left the event, we went 671 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 4: up to the room, we dropped off the wings. We 672 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 4: also had some leftovers from dinner earlier because there was 673 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 4: a fridge in the room, and then we went back 674 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,239 Speaker 4: down to the casino, decided to gamble and play a 675 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 4: little bit more, and probably like an hour had gone by, 676 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:20,240 Speaker 4: and at that point we were walking across the casino 677 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,840 Speaker 4: floor and Lauren goes, oh, look there they are, and 678 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:30,080 Speaker 4: I turned and I almost ran into Beard and Notorious 679 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:34,160 Speaker 4: b O b. They were coming down the steps and 680 00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 4: I had no intention of actually meeting them or talking 681 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 4: to them or anything like that. But again I almost 682 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 4: like stumbled right into them. And so I was like, 683 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 4: I guess it was destined for me to meet these guys. 684 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 4: It's so weird how again that kind of synchronosy was happening. 685 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 4: So I just told him, I said, you guys, you know, 686 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:52,919 Speaker 4: they don't know who the heck I am. I just said, 687 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,360 Speaker 4: you know, I'm Joshua. This is my wife, Lauren. We 688 00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 4: live here in Vegas. I watch your videos all the time. 689 00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 4: I just want to thank you for all the entertains 690 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,560 Speaker 4: and I find it amazing what you do, you know. 691 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 4: And they were super nice, shook their hands and very 692 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,359 Speaker 4: exhausted though very and I also think they were both 693 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 4: kind of weirded out by how like odd that event was. 694 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,760 Speaker 4: And then you know, Notorious Bob he also had just lost. 695 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,400 Speaker 4: He just came in second place, so I'm sure he 696 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,920 Speaker 4: wasn't super happy about that. But so I didn't record 697 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,560 Speaker 4: my conversation with them. It felt very like it would 698 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,600 Speaker 4: be inappropriate if I just whipped out a recorder and 699 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,920 Speaker 4: put it up in their face and started asking them questions. 700 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,800 Speaker 4: But I did take the opportunity to ask one question. 701 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:38,200 Speaker 4: I said to Beard and to Notorious Bob, I said, 702 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:39,759 Speaker 4: I find what. 703 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 2: You guys do so amazing. 704 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,160 Speaker 4: How do you think it's possible that you can eat 705 00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,840 Speaker 4: such an enormous amount of food in a short period 706 00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:51,240 Speaker 4: of time without it damaging, like immediately damaging your internal organs. 707 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,279 Speaker 4: And Adam looks to Bob and says, I'll let him 708 00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 4: take that. And I could kind of tell that the 709 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,279 Speaker 4: question seemed maybe maybe I'm wrong, but it seemed like 710 00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,319 Speaker 4: that was a little irritating to him, maybe because that 711 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:09,319 Speaker 4: he gets asked that kind of thing so much. But 712 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 4: he basically said, and it was loud, so I didn't hear. 713 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 4: He basically said, like, you know, it's just he says, 714 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,560 Speaker 4: everybody's different, you know, he goes, it's just like training, 715 00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,520 Speaker 4: and he points over to the guy from Finland. He says, 716 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,960 Speaker 4: you know, this guy can lift, you know, bench five 717 00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:25,839 Speaker 4: hundred pounds. If we tried to do that, you know, 718 00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,040 Speaker 4: we might die. And he's just like, you know, it's 719 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:32,279 Speaker 4: like everybody's got different, different genetics, and you know, you 720 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,799 Speaker 4: work on it, and he was just kind of like 721 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 4: I felt blowing it off. And and again nothing against him, 722 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:47,839 Speaker 4: but my feeling was that this guy may not have 723 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:53,719 Speaker 4: really any idea how absolutely amazing it is to me 724 00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 4: what they do that it's it's because they've done it 725 00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,840 Speaker 4: for so long and they don't even really think about 726 00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:04,320 Speaker 4: the physiology of it because they have these kind of 727 00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:10,160 Speaker 4: superhuman genes. But they again, very nice, and I was 728 00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,200 Speaker 4: happy I got to have the interaction with him. I 729 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,239 Speaker 4: got to meet two guys I watch on YouTube all 730 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 4: the time, and it was a great evening. And then 731 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,360 Speaker 4: you know, after that, Lauren and I came home and 732 00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,719 Speaker 4: we started eating wings, and I still have wings to 733 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,680 Speaker 4: eat for like the next three days. I'll tell you 734 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:29,680 Speaker 4: a quick food story before the clock gets us. Elvis 735 00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:34,239 Speaker 4: Presley was the king of this town, and sometimes you 736 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:38,480 Speaker 4: go to restaurants where they have what's called the Elvis sandwich. 737 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,000 Speaker 4: Elvis died when he was forty two, they say his 738 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,600 Speaker 4: heart was like double the size it was supposed to be, 739 00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,880 Speaker 4: so he basically died of heart failure, but that was 740 00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:54,640 Speaker 4: compounded by drugs he would use to to stay energized, 741 00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:58,000 Speaker 4: as well as his eating habits. Because Elvis was six 742 00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,800 Speaker 4: feet tall and at one point he was three hundred 743 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:05,319 Speaker 4: and fifty pounds, pretty pretty amazing how heavy he got. 744 00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,239 Speaker 4: And one of the reasons is because he would like 745 00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:12,680 Speaker 4: the elvisburger, and I ordered one this morning, and like this, 746 00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,440 Speaker 4: you do not want to make a habit out of 747 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 4: eating the elvisberger. But here's here's what the Elvis the 748 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,640 Speaker 4: Elvis sandwich, not burger. Here's what it is. You take 749 00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:24,600 Speaker 4: two pieces of white bread, you toast them a little bit, 750 00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,239 Speaker 4: and then when they come out of the toastree, you 751 00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,279 Speaker 4: spread some butter on it, you know, and then you 752 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:34,160 Speaker 4: spread a nice stick layer of peanut butter, and then 753 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 4: you slice up some bananas and put in there, and 754 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,720 Speaker 4: then you put down a bunch of strips of bacon, 755 00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,040 Speaker 4: and then maybe if you're really feeling like you want 756 00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:47,000 Speaker 4: to have the ultimate drizzle little molasses on there, squeeze 757 00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:47,840 Speaker 4: that thing together. 758 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,000 Speaker 2: Oh dude, it's good, it's good. 759 00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:55,680 Speaker 4: It's very hard to lose weight in this town. I 760 00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:59,000 Speaker 4: am not recommending you make the Elvis sandwich. I'm just 761 00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:03,879 Speaker 4: telling you I had one today. I ate about half 762 00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:05,400 Speaker 4: of it and then I was like, I'm throwing the 763 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:06,759 Speaker 4: rest of this a way because this is. 764 00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:07,560 Speaker 2: Just not good for me. 765 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,440 Speaker 4: And I actually have another Elvis story that I'm going 766 00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,440 Speaker 4: to share with you on a future show. Maybe I 767 00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,880 Speaker 4: can squeeze this in next week or whatever. I have 768 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,720 Speaker 4: a brand new addition to my collection of unusual things, 769 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:28,359 Speaker 4: and it is an Elvis artifact and it's you know, 770 00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:32,520 Speaker 4: it fits in to Las Vegas. His most famous movie 771 00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,799 Speaker 4: was called Viva Las Vegas. By the time he died 772 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:39,000 Speaker 4: at forty two, he had made thirty one movies. One 773 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,360 Speaker 4: of them was Viva Las Vegas. All right, folks, around 774 00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:44,719 Speaker 4: of time, if you can close your eyes, take a 775 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:48,520 Speaker 4: deep breath, relax, let us all meditate together on the 776 00:48:48,600 --> 00:49:15,520 Speaker 4: good Fortune tone.
