So what's on your 0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:52.720 guys is mind tonight? Uh? I feel like it's been 0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:55.680 a while since we last spoke, because it actually has been, 0:00:55.760 --> 0:01:01.520 even though the pods keep it coming. But my head 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:05.839 is like a balloon today, floating away from my body. 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:08.480 And why could that be? Molly? Because I went to 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:12.600 Las Vegas with Emily. Yeah, we we We spent some 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:14.679 good time in Las Vegas. I would say it's a 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:18.440 pretty successful trip. It was very successful in that I 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.039 was so ready to get out of Las Vegas. On 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:24.520 day three, I was like, I need to escape and 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:25.960 then by the time I was on the plane, I 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:29.840 was already like, what a great trip and that was fun. 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:35.240 If you're gonna have nostalgia for the thing during the thing, Um, yeah, 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:40.800 we uh we went. I guess we got there. It 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.119 wasn't even quite a weekend, but it felt like mom 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.680 seen we got there on Thursday. We thought, okay, so 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:49.640 here's what we thought. We thought we were picking like 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:53.720 a dead weekend that nobody would be there because it's 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.160 like the middle of March, and who's in Las Vegas? 0:01:56.640 --> 0:02:00.720 And we picked like like, what's the point. Yeah, we 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.560 were like, it's the Presummer rush, there's like no holidays. 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:08.200 Turns out a it was St. Patrick's Day on Saturday. 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.560 Who among us could have ever known when since Patrick 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:18.440 spent that on my calendar, And it was March Madness weekend, 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:23.440 which none of us even knew existed, because it's not 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.000 like we worked at ESPN for several years and we 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:31.880 haven't gone mad I don't have ESPN. We were so like, 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.680 what is this and then we were like, oh no, 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:41.000 it was the world have convened in Las Vegas. I 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:44.919 have never seen so many men in my whole life. Wait, 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:46.799 so I want to before we get into like the 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.720 full rundown of the trip. I want to like one 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:52.880 of my early observations because I got there a day 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.919 early and I spent a night uh at the Palms 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.840 uh and this was just off strip. But like, if 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:04.200 anybody watched any MTV reality show at any point in 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.520 the two thousands, they know the Palms because I feel 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.760 like there was always like people partying at Ghost Bar 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.920 or whatever. It was like the hang out for the 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:16.639 cast of the Hills and Paris Hilton and everybody. Um. 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:18.480 And now I mean they're in the middle of this 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.440 huge overhaul, so it's sort of sad it's been all 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:24.480 ripped up. Um. But I uh, but now it just 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.079 kind of feels it's halfway there too. It's it's it's 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:32.320 it's remodeling, but it's also now just an odds themed casino. Like, Yeah, 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.400 you were sending these like really sad pictures of like 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.839 Dave Navarre, just like you were saying, it's like they're 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.160 halfway through trying to turn it over from being the 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.160 two thousand's place, but they still have all the two 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:47.040 thousands people in billboards on the walls. Yeah, there's this 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:51.600 walkway the sky Tube to like their fancier hotel, Palms place, 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:55.040 and it's just these huge murals of like Alicia Keys 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.960 and Dave Navarro and the cast of Entourage and stuff, 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.840 and it's just like such a weird motley. It's so 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:04.160 strang and like yeah, and then like Nellie I think 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.200 is in there in the middle. It's just it's it's 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.200 it's very evocative. I mean, I spent I had like 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:14.160 a very memorable experience with the Palms in probably at 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.480 the very last year that it was like super the 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:20.159 spot to be and I was a little sad to 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:24.160 see it all ripped up and unrecognizable because I had 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.480 I had, I had some good times at the Palms 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:31.360 in my day. But yeah, I it was, it was, 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.520 it was. It's it's a theme. It's a theme hotel 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:37.200 of its own now, yeah, it's the theme is death 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:40.200 and Resurrection. Oh. The other thing is that Adrian Malouf 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.760 I don't think her family doesn't have any ownership over 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:46.360 it anymore, Like the maloof name is no longer on it. 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.080 Um Really I don't think. I think they got bought 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:53.160 by like the people who on the station, the Palestation, 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.200 I think or Sinset station. I can't remember anyway, I 0:04:56.240 --> 0:05:00.000 know too much about Vegas. Well, one thing about Vegas 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.200 casinos is don't ever get attached to anything about any 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:07.520 of them, because that is their their reality. Wouldn't that 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:09.359 be so sad if you made a habit of getting 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:12.480 attached to Vegas casino's. What I keep saying is like 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.400 a really smart person if they were going to open 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.880 another casino, Um, if they want to make a nightcall 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.880 casino in old Las Vegas, because like the best casinos 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:22.880 are the ones that are still feel a little old 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:26.680 and weird to me. To me, um, and that's why 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.560 I like like the old strip with like the Fremont 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:31.760 Street casinos because they are a little like older and 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.880 sleazier and own it. Whereas the new ones are like 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:38.919 new and sleazy and have like are so characterless in 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:43.800 the same way. Um, they have their forced character, like 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.960 like the Cosmopolitan. But if they didn't blow everything up 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:48.680 all the time, and they had let some of the 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.960 sixties stuff exist long enough to still exist, it would 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.960 be so popular now. And you know retro casino, like 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.279 if there was like a sands, like a you know, 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.360 may build the original sands and make like a utpack 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.200 theme casino people would love that. Especially it's like the 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:06.400 next phase now that, like the E d M phase 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.279 of Las Vegas, is maybe on its way out. I 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:11.160 guess well, I think it is peaked. I think this 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.760 is maybe a separate discussion for another day, but I 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:17.080 think that we're certainly in the twilight of of the 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.280 d and like the Vegas E d M thing, and 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.000 I wish I could write something about this. This is 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.520 like something I thought was happening four years ago, but 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.560 it's just taken longer. Emily and I both also had 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:29.640 only been to Las Vegas most recently on work trips, 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:31.920 which are great way to go to Las Vegas, and 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:36.000 we both realized that that is why Hunter Thompson went 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:37.760 there for Fear and Loathing is because it's like the 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:44.200 place you can scam people in the letting you go. Yeah. Also, 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:45.840 we both were like should we be taking notes? And 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.760 then we're like, no, we're just here. I was so 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:52.360 sad to miss this trip. Husband had work, and uh, 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:56.080 I have We have no babysitter, which is fun to 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.839 have no babysitter and just be looking at Instagram. But 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:00.640 it was you guys did a good job of we 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.800 missed you very much, especially at Magic Mike. Oh my god, 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.680 we will get to Yeah. So yeah, we met up 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:10.880 at the Venetian, which is where this this all took place, 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:12.680 which I had also never been to before, which is 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:16.520 a great silly Las Vegas hotel with fake canals. It 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.120 was very like floral looking or was that somewhere else 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.960 that you guys wan that was the wind. The wind 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:26.880 is like rose Parade. We should like do the disclaiming 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:28.760 that all of these places are owned by the most 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.800 evil men. Uh, and that's just a fact of going 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.000 to Vegas. It's like you're gonna eat the burger and 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:39.040 it's going to have like hooves in it. Although the 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:43.760 win even though um, when Steve Wyne is very evil, um, 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.520 he's also a vegan. He's an evil vegan, So the 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.800 burger isn't the most apt. No, they have like lots 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:53.600 of vegan options. And we actually went there on St. 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:56.920 Patrick's there because it was like they were like my 0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:00.360 friends that were left were like, uh, this one might 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:04.840 have vegetarian options remain Yeah. Trip. Well, I thought that 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.120 was interesting to the evil vegans because it's become such 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.840 a trope, the like the evil billionaires and evil tech 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.200 guys that are into like health and wellness and like 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:17.880 fake into Eastern religion, you know, but are evil. And 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.600 did you guys see that article about Um this is 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:27.160 totally separate Powder Mountain. No, it's like an elite club 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:31.040 for like millennials who are trying to have spiritual awakenings. 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.120 It's like a place to do mushrooms with billionaires. And 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:36.760 it sounds awful. It's like Ana somewhere. Um you should 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:40.840 it's almost like my nightmare. Um. I heard that the 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:44.240 tech yuppiece have taken over Lyn, which is not super surprising. 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.480 That's that's a part of that story too, so we 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:50.320 should hate Yeah. Sorry, let's get back to last. Speaking 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:52.800 of journeys to the inside of the self. Well, okay, 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:56.040 so so we mentioned that we went there during March 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.520 Madness and it was just this complete and total like 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.240 when did you realize it was March Madness? When I 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.080 got on the plane to go to Vegas and it 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:07.200 was all dudes, and I texted David and I was like, 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:12.440 I've made a horrible mistake. Yeah, I didn't even really 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.280 like I I remember when we booked and somebody was like, oh, 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:17.520 you know, it's gonna be a busy weekend. And I 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.600 was like, oh, like, you know, aren't they all uh 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.600 But no, this was on a different level entirely. So 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:27.239 everywhere we went, it was it was packed with dudes. Everywhere. 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.360 It was like, I can't even describe it because I've 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.360 never been in that experience. I kept saying, it was 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:34.280 like we were in a zombie movie where all the 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.760 women had been killed and we were the only women left. 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.080 So like every time we did see a woman, we 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:43.480 would be like hello. And so this being this was 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.880 you know, we haven't mentioned this is my bachelorette party, 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:49.200 and so this being a special occasion, I you know, 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:52.320 I really wanted to work some some uh some looks 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:55.880 or as you may pronounce them, Luke's um during the weekend. 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.280 And the first second that Molly and I stepped out 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.240 to go to walgre Is to get something, it's like 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:05.680 just a bunch of guys being like interesting outfits ladies. 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:09.720 And I was like, cool, I'm gonna go back and 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.960 I'm gonna change into something even weirder. Yeah, we kind 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:16.079 of we kind of decided against our like hot outfits 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:19.320 in favor of our like scary outfits because the first 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.480 time we went out in our hot outfits, the men 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.000 who like hit on you that are super normy and 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:31.280 are like weird, what's up? Weirdos like but yeah, so 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:36.160 do you like books? What? Um? But we so we 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.160 had been kind of dealing with this, like guys who 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:40.080 were just so in their zone that they you know, 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.480 don't like in the elevator door for women, like, oh no, 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:45.199 we didn't exist to them. Every time we were in 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.640 an elevator, they were having like an impassionate you know, 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:51.200 like did you see that play? Like like really loud, 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.439 like over us if we wanted to have a conversation, 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.360 which we weren't even trying to, but just like it 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.240 was just we we were completely invisible to them. It 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.800 was like they were saying, did you see that play? 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:07.559 My first thought was like theater Nert, that's madness. You know, 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:11.079 we were so divorced, but it was hilarious. We were like, 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.120 we didn't We didn't think about it at all. And 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.640 then I didn't even know that it was like a 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:18.960 thing in Las Vegas, even though of course it is. 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:21.280 But yeah, it's like the guys aren't even there to 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.319 like party and get laid. They're literally just there to 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:27.439 bet that's all they care about. Probably, I mean there's 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:30.640 probably plenty of well, they wear their like daytime visor 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.400 to the casino and then they have their nighttime visor 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:37.319 sex visor the club. We were visors the whole time. 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.800 But yeah, then we went to the club. We went 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:45.480 to Hakkasan, which is the super super club, the like 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.960 three stories to have to take an elevator like in 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:52.440 the Haunted Mansion to get in um and I only 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:57.520 and I both enjoy those sorts of things. We enjoyed spectacle, 0:11:57.840 --> 0:11:59.880 and I had always wanted to go there out of 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:05.079 just like like sheer kind of morbid fascination with like Vegas. Well, 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.080 the last time I went to Vegas was I was 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:11.440 profiling Martin Garrick's superstar DJ Martin Garrick's for MTV, and 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:13.800 we got to go to like a superclub through like 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.280 the back door entrance, the good Fellows entrance, and it 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:18.120 was like the best experience of my life. I was 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:22.520 just like, can't be jaded about this. Yeah, this is 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.160 pretty cool, although I'm sure it gets old if you're 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:28.480 like doing it every night one of those DJs. But 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:32.760 Hakasan was like I was just like walking into a 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:36.400 room of like testosterone using. It was like everyone was 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.959 just hitting on like any woman in sight. I felt 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.080 bad for any woman who was there because it was 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:42.920 just like that kind of getting hit on where it 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.080 has just so it's so indiscriminate. It's just like you okay, 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:50.680 no you well yeah no, And I and I always 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:52.679 try to just be like, hey, everybody in our group 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:54.840 is spoken for, and then somebody will make fun of 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.199 me for using the turn of phrase spoken for. It's 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:01.040 just like there's no way to have a Niles. Yeah, 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:04.720 I'm so sorry. We are all spoken for here. Um. 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:06.960 That was funny too because there was nobody was single, 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:09.360 but everybody came out of it like, man, I'm so 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:14.920 glad I'm not single, because like what a nightmare. But 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:19.480 so on our last night, um, we we went to 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:22.320 uh maybe the pullar Uf. We we had like the 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:26.599 best palate cleanser. Yeah, we counter programmed. Um. And the 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:29.160 first I went to the National Atomic Testing Museum. There 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.959 was that so we meant to talk about that radiation 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:36.000 and yeah, we looked at a lot of that is 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.520 a great museum that I recommend to everybody at the 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:42.839 National Atomic Testing Museum it uh is really scary. And 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.960 the first time I went it was before the election, 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.080 so I had such a different experience of it because 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:54.480 I was just like, Wow, the twentieth century was so scary, 0:13:55.120 --> 0:14:00.520 you know. I was like, yeah, I was like, imagine 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:04.120 living under the like terror of nuclear threat all the time. 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.760 That must have been so scary. No wonder, everything got 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.560 so paranoid and weird. And then this time it was 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:13.600 even weirder because it's a Smithsonian museum. But the way 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.679 the captions work, it's like, and then we made the 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.960 bomb because we had to because of the Russian arms race, 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:23.760 and then the text democracy, yeah, and then there's got 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.960 to have it. They very they like don't go into 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:31.080 Hiroshima Nagasaki at all in terms of like what happened 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.440 after you did that. It's just like, here's what you know, 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.760 Then we made this bomb, and then we made this bomb, 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:39.240 wasn't it? And then at the end it's like and 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:43.080 then we won the Cold War. I think it was 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:44.880 Dulcia who was saying that who had been to the 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:48.960 museum in in Hiroshima the about the bomb there, And 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.480 it's also equally like kind of gliding over the fact 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:55.160 that there was even a war before the bomb was off. 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.840 It's like, you know, you get the selective story no 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.840 matter where you are, if you're easy, and that covers 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:04.960 any kind of war conflict whatsoever. Yeah, it definitely was 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:09.600 a national museum. Yeah, there's also like an incredible movie 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:11.440 that I don't Molly, you weren't in there with us, 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.120 but I'm sure you saw when you were there before 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.080 where it starts with a bomb countdown and then they 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:19.400 like filled the theater with smoke and like it and 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:23.680 like jets of air blasts at you and all nerves 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.160 were so afraid because it had been like a very 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:29.920 long night before. Were also called the ground zero Theater, Yes, 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:35.200 it's called. And like immediately my friend who was sitting 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.880 next to me just like collapsed and coward and like 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.320 wide into my arms. It's like too much, too much, 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:44.160 too much, we can't do it. Uh, yeah, it was. 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:46.560 It was. It was a lot. But then we got 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.360 to see the sad little collection of alien memorabilia, which 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.840 is the alien exhibit I saw when I first went 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:54.880 was no longer up, but they had sort of like 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.040 moved the remaining stuff into a sad corner, which was 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:00.840 great because one of the things in the alien display 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.320 was just the collection of vape juice that was called 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:07.000 Area fifty one vape juice, like the last case in 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:10.240 a museum that it has like the Smithsonian logo outside 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:14.520 of it. There is they divide the like the real 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.280 history stuff from the Area fifty one stuff. But they 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:20.560 know that people are super interested in that also, um 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:22.640 so they a little bit catered to it because I 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:24.840 mean it's it's a spoonful of sugar to help the 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.960 medicine go down. It's very interesting just from a point 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:29.560 of view two of like, you know, because it's in 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:32.600 Las Vegas. It's outside Las Vegas because the Nevada test 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:34.800 site is where they tested all these atomic bombs, so 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:38.560 it's technically a museum about that, but it's you know, 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:40.240 they talked about like, oh in the Earth, the places 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:43.600 they considered for testing the atomic bomb? Where else New 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:47.880 Mexico and Utah? And I think they picked last, like 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:50.680 Nevada because there was like relatively nothing around it. And 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.040 then Las Vegas was piste at first because they were like, 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:58.840 please don't test atomic bombs. Everybody wanted to watch the 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:02.160 bomb go off. Yeah, and then they just coveted to 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:06.320 promoting it and being like, come get blown up in 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:10.000 Las Vegas, which you know, to be honest, that's still 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:13.000 a draw. Yeah, although now that I say that, I 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.359 realized how tasteless it is because they just had a 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:19.720 big mass shooting, so uh they I think sometimes I 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:21.800 don't know. That's what's part of weird about the sort 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:25.240 of erasing of history in Las Vegas is that it 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:27.520 was interesting to be there and be like, oh, like, 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:29.840 there's some like veiggat strong hashtags and stuff, but other 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:32.040 than that, every and there were some bomb sniffing dogs, 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:35.320 but other than that, it was very like business as usual. 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.280 Don't think about it being scary. It's so funny to 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:42.280 me that you guys love Las Vegas because I hate 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:47.520 lass I truly hate Las Vegas, and my my uncle 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.600 lived there for a long long time, which maybe is 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:53.800 part of why I not know. My uncle was great, 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:56.159 but like, when you live in Las Vegas had the 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:59.000 experience of like the non tourist well yeah, I mean, 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.760 and also I had, like I just when you were 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:03.800 talking about the guys going up and hitting on you 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:06.439 and how awful they were, I was like, huh, maybe 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:08.919 I was doing that back when I was in Vegas 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:11.400 where you're just like anyone, anyone, and that's like part 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:15.640 of that Vegas experience. I just felt bad for them. 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:18.000 I wasn't like I was like, I know, but it's 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:22.800 like that weird desperate Yeah, the desperate energy. I I 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:26.879 enjoy observing that because I want some money in Las Vegas, 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:31.080 the like one time that I went there in recent memory. Um, 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:32.760 because I have a rule that I can only ever 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:36.879 gamble twenty dollars what I do and I saw you 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:43.760 with avouch. Yeah, but I spent five dollars, so it 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:46.960 wasn't that loss. What's the best thing about Las Vegas? Okay? 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:48.960 I think Emily and I probably both like it because 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:51.960 it's like, you know, a postmodern fantasy and we like 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:55.520 to think about it. Yeah. And uh, I also just 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:58.760 like any large machine, and when you're you're driving into 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:01.760 Vegas and you see all the resorts and they're just colossal, 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:04.040 Like they're bigger than any building that you see in 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:06.040 New York, just in terms of like the stats, like 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:07.919 not in terms of height, but just in terms of 0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:11.640 like the mass of them. It's just so it's such 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:14.240 an alien scale to be in and then to think 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:18.439 about like like cities worth of people that just work there. Right. 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.320 It's it's so far out in the desert that it 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:24.480 has a real like space colony feeling to it. You're like, 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:27.240 this is how we are thinking about, like how we 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:30.399 would colonize Mars, you know, because you're like, what do 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:32.760 you need? And how can you make buildings that have 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:35.320 every possible thing you could ever need in them so 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:37.440 you never have to leave the building, But then you 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:40.680 always get that biggest casino space madness where you're like, 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:42.720 I have to go outside where that day is night 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:45.840 and night is day. And that accounts for a lot 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:48.439 of my wooziness now, is just being so outside of 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:53.720 like any kind of natural time cycle or like day cycle. 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:56.560 I don't know, it's so weird. I felt like fine 0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:58.720 on St. Patrick's Day, which was also hilarious because we 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:00.280 were like at the end of our trip and then 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:02.760 everybody else was like just getting there for St. Patrick's 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:05.320 Day on Saturday, you know, so it was like, you 0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:07.760 guys are also lucky that you missed the spring break 0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:10.160 crowd or maybe not, like that would be more fun, 0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:12.159 that would have been better than this. This was like 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:14.960 not there would have been more women there, like it was. 0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:17.280 That was the thing. On St. Patrick's Day. I was 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:20.800 immediately more comfortable because there were suddenly like packs of 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:23.200 sorority girls and I was like, right, you know what, 0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:26.720 my sisters, when else are you going to say, like 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:28.919 think that? But then you're left like but no, I 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:32.160 was like, the bros can't exist like alone. The bros 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:35.600 need to like rove amongst the packs of like lady bros, 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:38.440 you know, and find each other. When it was just 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:41.800 bros and they were just like there to gamble and 0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:44.720 that's all it was. I don't know. That was maybe 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:48.560 too dark for me, I think. I think also another 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.320 part of me being always like drawn to Vegas from 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:53.760 the first time I ever went there is like it's 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:56.600 so outside of anything that I like, I would never 0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:58.920 have gone on a Vegas vacation when I was a 0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:00.880 kid one because we would have had the money into 0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:04.080 because it's just like completely not I'm aligned with any 0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:05.919 values I grew up with. So there's a sort of 0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:08.040 like forbidden fruit aspect of it, but like in a 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:10.280 not in a like I'm gonna go and I'm gonna 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:13.040 like shower myself in champagne and do all of the 0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:16.280 Debaucher's things. I'm mostly just like, what is it like 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:20.200 all the crazy stuff that you can do here? Beautiful 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:26.120 lights were like suckers for beautiful. There was that meme 0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:28.960 going around that was like about like how Neon and 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:32.040 fog is so tired the Blade Runner like cyberpunk esthetic, 0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:34.600
