Taylor and Hart seniors and Taylor and Hart juniors welcome to another episode of Jesse and Wilders guy to life I'm Jesse. That's why we're here to guide your life. I like that one I imagine you found new life in the world of people's names maybe do I don't know I don't want to I can't These days I can't say anything with certainty. Well can't say anything these days because the call it a police are around oh Tell them to tell about We've been canceled this week's episode being canceled.

Honestly not a bad idea for episode You know I have okay. I've been toying with a bit a new bit a new segment. Oh But I think I think it's not a good segment. So instead I'll just share something yeah So the problem is is that it's not so much a segment as it is me reading The social media feed of one of my favorite social media accounts So that it's not so just no conceptually like I understand this is not creative or anything We got it got it, but I have to share something.

Well treat us take us to the candy shop I'm a big fan and I promise you this is not a like a joke website like I I feel confident about that So that's one thing. This is not me repeating someone else's jokes. You don't get that fucking twisted mm-hmm. There is this There's this website and Twitter feed called I was poison calm.

I've certainly had said this to you before right? Have I said I don't know man dude. So when I was on my honeymoon with my beloved We got into some dark some dark times because we had developed a stomach virus in that there Mexico and I stumbled across this and this is like a feed where people can post essentially times that they were food poisoned You say I was poisoned calm. Yes, I was poisoned calm And the cool thing is it requires you to submit a picture So like sometimes it's like a picture of the product like a can of like chicken or whatever Oh, yeah And it's just like people being like unabashedly like I'm pooping I'm barfing like my I'm sweat is coming out of my eyeballs Because of all of the poison in my body And it's really it's cool because okay, can such I love this because it what purpose could they think this serves when they're like I'm a chowster the hot dogs at yes, IKEA Uh-huh.

I'm going to be the newest post abdominal cramps and severe nausea after eating a hot dog symptoms nausea hashtag IKEA hashtag Yes, oh, yes the hashtags are through the roof. It's awesome You know, what is what is this for and who is this for and why is this for and when is this for and really just all of the all the basic Journalism questions you are correct in all of those questions That's first of all this was an article and then actually got re picked up by the New York Post and this is about the The lactose free milk fair life Um, we have some fair life in our fridge right now my my Chelsea likes her lactose free milk She thinks she tells me that it's for me and it's not because the lactose is bad It's because that one has more protein than regular milk. I'm a little baby I need my protein anyway, you do need your proteins. Let me give you the headline lactose free milk fair life smells like quote poop Allegedly sickens thousands now Let me just hit you with the obvious sort of observation family.

This is a bit of advice We don't give really good advice often I'm gonna give you maybe some really a hundred percent sound advice if you go to To you pour yourself a bowl of cheerios and you get in that fridge and you crack that milky open And it's and it does smell like by your own description poop. Well, let me just stop you there if I may Let's back up if it smells like anything you don't want it to right right right? There's a lot of points on the scale between milk That's a little off and poopy poopy and anywhere on that little kinsie scale is a reason for you to dump that milk Right down the drain in it. Oh my god milk is like the margin for milk is non-existent If it even if it even smells anything that I don't expect it's done like it's down the drain I can't be playing around with that.

That's a that's such a danger a gamble one might say did you do you learn the hard way bro? As a child about eating poop. No about eating that milk. Oh, uh, we all learned out of naughty poop the hard way as Yeah, reaching in my own damn toilet I I don't think so.

I mean maybe my family was definitely a Expiration dates are suggestions type of family sure and so we did play it fast and loose in the McGrath household But I don't remember like a time when I I Physically drank the milk I can tell you there was definitely a time when I poured it out of the carton and it came out a little chunky And that was gross, but I didn't consume it after that obviously I had a particularly traumatic milk experience as a child at the Jewish community center Oh, it was just just about as far past as expiration date as it could get and do they they served it to you? And you you plugged it down or what I did pour it myself and then I had to throw it up all over the dang place I realized what had happened when we looked in the carton to see the culprit which was just Oh Good start to the app anyone still with us. Yeah So this is a website just like go follow their Twitter I kind of think that just like maybe I'll share some some heaters when I see them But you can you can also adventure yourself I suggest following them on social media It does take a little bit of a stomach to do that though, right? Because there is the chance that you sometimes people will just straight a host themselves looking dead in bed sweaty red face So it can surprise catch up guard a little bit 8 a.m.

In the morning You're scrolling your feed and that swings up on you But uh it is pretty good to be like someone It's just like the human desire to shout to anyone help. Yes, please help. Yes, or notice me. Oh god Please please notice what I'm doing.

Oh the chicken fries in off of root one in Kansas City Oh, Jesus Christ and that I think is Sort of romantic in a way dude Do you think Dumbledore posted on this after he had the clam juice or what must have dude when he was laying there when Harry was under the water He did quickly walk on to I was poison calm and he was like Do you remember the conditions under which I brought you here hashtag poison hashtag clam juice hashtag the boy who lives Sometimes nausea rage Harry rage. I feel nauseous Anyways, we're talking about Vegas which guess what there is overlap between Poisoning yourself in Vegas all the time. Yes, baby Give me your give me a little bit of your Vegas give me your Vegas lore if you don't mind please so we know We're sorry. Yeah my Vegas lore.

I've been few times. I Don't Love that place tell me why I just think you have to be rich as a dog to enjoy Vegas because like There's nothing to do that's just not spending a shitload of money. Yeah, it's I don't like clorbs I don't like musicals and shows that much. They're fine I saw sir to L and it was obviously great, but gambling's fun I mean, you know I love to tell fucking gambling addict McGrath how fun gambling is boy dang it takes some pockets to sustain that there's no doubt About any of that that's for sure it's tough because they get you the way they get you is the hotels are so cheap Right and you get so much gratis at the hotel.

You're sitting there shooting your craps And it's like hey, what do you want a fucking old-fashioned? Yeah, it's free what yeah, that's free. That's why But then yeah, you sit there and you're burning through your fucking I mean if you lose I guess I don't I'm not entirely familiar with that But it's you know it takes some dough but You know I think there's I think there's some meat on that bone. I have been to Vegas a fucking billion times But not for gambling most of the times I've been to Vegas.

I was not of age even my family's from Vegas more Less I said downtown Vegas is very cool. No, no It's not you've said that to me before and what you've heard is like a weird like honestly such a strange life Vegas is fucking Gigantic it is a massive city and it's wild because everything is in the same like three miles stretch They just like built it all on one street which Like probably not great like vis-à-vis like safety and stuff, but I'll say kind of a sick idea I mean give him that street city is not it for me. I think yeah, it's tough because then everyone everywhere always at once But no downtown Vegas. I'm gonna get let's let's I'm gonna I think one category is off the street So I spent a lot of time in buggies with my grandma hanging out going to see the Hoover Dam going to Oh, the do the dizzle.

Yeah, I did the hooby-dizz out to Henderson We'd never went to the strip the Vegas real head Vegas people don't go to the strip The other thing about real head Vegas people is what is a thing that like Californians talk about too much? Yeah, free way traffic and stuff right the that like version of that version for Vegas But it's like is true is like big nothing lives very long in Vegas Not just the horrible desert But like all the old casinos and not even that old casinos Oh get torn down and rebuilt up like nothing ever stays and so like what all the like Vegas residents talk about all the time It's like well used to be the stardust but you know they tore that down anyways, let me Get back on track here. I like Vegas fine, but only for like two days and then you know town motto being nothing stays is not great to me Yeah, it sucks, but that's like the people that's a thing is that it's a city built for tourists and the tourists don't give the shit that nothing stays right Like the people that live there. They're like well fuck nothing stays sucks people that show up They're like ooh something new anyways office trip to downtown Vegas is a one That's Fremont Street is what they call downtown Vegas the metal's called old Vegas which does have some older casinos I mean bro, I'm like I like the truth is I'm really talk some shit.

Yeah, talk it dude. I'm fine with that I have such a mixed relationship with the strip The only thing I can give it is that there's nothing else in the world like it. Yes I that's I'm gonna be that's not even true. No, it's really true But that's the best thing I have for it, right?

I get that I get that just the treasureino of the treasureina And I don't like those people. I don't like clubs. I hate DJs. I hate that music I hate the just like bachelor parties.

I hate bachelor parties I hate I don't like most every single thing that is happening in Las Vegas. Okay, let's break it down I feel like this is a big we're gonna take we got a tackle it one at a time here because my boy is steamed over there Um on the strip clubs back 100% we neither of us are clubs guys. That's fine. I would say bars I have to tell you like bars don't Exit like exist in the bars.

It's a hotel bar. Yeah, exactly everything It's a hotel bar or it's a bar in a mall or it's a bar next to the theater. You're going to or whatever Bro, I also hate the fucking fake sky. You're not fooling me dude.

I know oh the fake sky is in the Little Caesars Mall Okay, yeah But like all of them all of them have a version of the fake sky because they're all designed to make you have no fucking clue what time Okay, I'm gonna get fake sky too because I'm fine with that like this is it dude You have to you can't if you go to Vegas and your thing is like I'm not falling for this You're gonna have a bad time the move is you go to Vegas and you go I know that I'm that well I know what's going on and I'm gonna let them it's like God It's it's so hard to feel in control in Vegas, bro. I've never been to a place where you're more out of control now look listeners McGrath I was a little harsh earlier. There's something else that's good about Vegas and it is gambling like gambling is very fun You just need to have the coin. I don't have the coin to sit and gamble all day long I know that's the one good thing about downtown Vegas is those fucking old-ass casinos that nobody wants to go to you Could sit down and let you bet a dollar or whatever like they just Notice points is the airport Yeah, you ain't lying about that, baby Someone told me this and like McGrath and I can confirm that this is the business Just gang if you ever have a layover in the Las Vegas airport gamble hit those slots you win you always win I want a hundred bucks one time I think I want like 75 bucks the other time You just you just win and someone was like they want people on layovers to think that this is what happens in Vegas and like conspiracy guy I think he's right.

I first of all I I'm almost positive conspiracy guys me. That's all there you go Uh, and yeah, dude, of course and it's not just layovers. It's like oh, I had a rough one It was not good. I lost you know 400 bucks or whatever and then you're like out.

Yeah, and then you hit a little royal flush 150 Okay, well, come back baby. Well, the one of the first times I went when I was legal we got off the plane We were so excited. We were like let's play a little video poker Just like let's fucking christen this bad boy and immediately One like a hundred and thirty dollars and when you're when you just turn 21 130 dollars like the most money in the world It's like yeah, it's like I just won eight thousand dollars like I we were cheering people thought we hit a jackpot It was like a hundred it was barely a hundred fifty bucks. I Respect about Vegas that it's very much a like I'm sort of a mental chess match very much Visiny in the men and black switching the wines back and forth because they know that even if you win they've still got you hotel California, baby, you could check out but you can never Yeah, so they say yeah, take a thousand bucks take ten thousand bucks.

You'll be back Yeah, exactly right. That's always wins dude. You ever seen a dang movie ever fucking come on now I think okay, so let me I want to hit casino because you're talking about gambling. It's got me vibrating over here Baby, you know what I like slots are a three I hate slots dude a three that's like what do you do that at home?

Maybe I'm trying to see them crazy animations and Nations, let me see the little jungle boys. Let me see the fucking Indiana Jones Let me see Davey Jones and his Oh, this is why you feel like you're out of control dude because you push a fight and you watch a bunch of flashing lights And then that's it at least oh my god. All right. There's no way slots are getting a three I was gonna say one so I guess we can average it to talk penny slots with the older gents I know but the problem with that to me is like okay penny slots what if I'm playing penny slots what that means is I just want to sit there and play a game.

I'm not really interested in winning any money, right? It's always time right so how come how come you don't just bring your switch and play breath of the wild down there in one of those chairs? Like what's the difference? I mean I wouldn't fly somewhere else to do that I understand But it sounds like you're flying somewhere else to do something worse than that.

Do you see? I mean look They're gonna make me rich like a penny slot. Yeah, exactly. Okay.

Let me give you the real free and that's blackjack, baby Yeah, it's obviously the only one I can even come close to hanging with Yeah, it's everyone can learn it It's any any game where which I guess this is always the case really except for some stuff any game where like you it's you and a table against the house It's so sick. Yes, and it's just like the easiest game to sit down and like play, you know Forhand like it's to me. It's great like some people do this with slots or I think most people do this slots But I'm cool like to play blackjack if it's like oh we're waiting for like somebody to get ready They said they'll be down in half an hour. Yeah, I'll sit at a table You know forehands of blackjack whatever.

Yeah, I do I do like that's the only card game. I'm gonna even consider fucking with Yeah, I agree with that I think like poker and there's a whole list of like pi gal and all these other games like I don't fucking know anything about Right, I think poker's a wonder how about that. I don't need that energy. I think it's too like everyone trying to read each other I don't think so I kind of think poker's a one in life too like I know I know I know I know people love Fucking poker dude get the boys get the siggies.

Let's play some fucking Texas. Hold on lame I don't think that game is that fun? I know it sounds like it's not someone who's bad poker whining about it and that is what's happening But there's better games, dude I think poker brings also brings out the worst and gamblers like sure like we used to play at Colton shot to Colton We'd used to play Colton versus house in high school And we would you know go over there and you know we would come with like ten bucks And we'd play for like quarters and 50 cents and stuff and There was just one kid fucking and I'm going to like brown or something I mean he was like a fucking smart kid It was one kid who would show up and like put his headphones in and listen to like his fucking iPod mini the whole time Like he was like row a suspicious are you kidding me that would never fly in Vegas? Well, no, that's but that's what the like the fucking dumb like poker people They always have like something like wearing their sunglasses or they have like ear plugs in or something Like it's always some fucking goofball shit.

That's what he was up to and we're like Tyler. It's fine, dude It's ten dollars your stop it bro for casino much like an airplane and I think they do a pretty good job of this Very quite late. I need a tight ship. Oh, yeah, I think there are a few tighter ships than the casino floor, baby Yeah, I do I do like that someone passes out boom They're down the fucking secret services up there throwing them into a back room They're shipped off to area 51.

I need it as as tight as it can be and I think they do a good job I yeah, they do a great job And I love that the guy in the middle like running shit is called a pit boss dude Is there anything sick or title than that? But yeah, they're like crazy to about like being on your phone and I love that shit like if you even glance at your phone They will straight up be like hey, do you want to sit this hand out? Okay, then put your phone away And it's like yeah, dude absolutely fucking lock it in baby play in these $5.00 back I do you have a touch it laying around I'm gonna put crafts and roulette both of two I don't understand them even a little bit but damn don't they say that's like the that's a 50 50 situation right in terms of what Possible winning oh, I don't know. I think one of those things whatever the red or black one is that craps?

I think it's what a fucking bunch of idiots. No roulette is definitely red and black right because it's like like black You know right that's the one that you're most likely to win at I believe everyone says because it's a 50 50 Excuse me. It's a Curtis Jackson. Thank you so much.

Yeah, I mean those ones are I don't understand all the little bonus pieces to them You know, there's like all this other shit going on with those bro But when you're strolling into the casino and yes, you've been there. I've been there we've all been there two ladies on your arm You walk past some more ladies. They join up. They say oh who's that guy?

He's gonna go blow some craps as they say You're getting the chickies to blow on your dice before you roll them You know the feeling I think Vegas does have potential to build a man into a god. Oh my god, dude It's electric you're feeling it. I can feel you feel it I'm sort of fantasizing about it. I'm like borderline like should we play should we pause and like play in a little pop a little Jesus Christ that would be like a hard cut in the movie of our lives to us blowing 60 bucks at like casino war and walking out Yeah, yeah, okay war is not it No, we're in the one okay, so I initially said to and even though I don't really play it.

I don't really get it I craps might be a three-dude. It's a little bit like it's everything you just described is so sick and like the fact that they This sounds a lot of pageantry, huh? It is in the fact just googled casino craps and like every picture is the same It's like someone in the center throwing the dice everyone's a bunch of strangers are gathered The whole casino goes nice camaraderie pageantry these things are important to density now and let me tell you what else the Crafts I think is the only game where they let you touch the toys because you get the toys Like like I'm not talking about holding a card. I'm talking about fucking they're letting me touch the dice dude It feels dangerous like am I allowed you know like you're being allowed to do something there?

Yeah, you don't get to put the little ball in the roulette thing. I don't get to deal the cards, but baby give me them dice Damn, I'm surging with power a little bit right now to be honest with you. Yeah, it's good uh Smoking indoors is pretty good because I My first time in Vegas ever I was 18 You know one of the stupidest times to go to Vegas yeah, they're with friend of the guide Justin bolus Emmy winner Justin bolus Hell yeah, and he and I were 18 and we couldn't do anything we bought some cigarettes and we were like look how fucking sick we are Are you kidding me with the hottest shit Do just smoke cigarettes at the only casino for we went from slot to slot basically getting removed from each slot when someone asked for our IDs Wow, what I got we play like a couple hands and we'll come over and be like A big book in Newark and we'd be like sorry and then we go like I'm gonna cross the casino to another one and play two more games until Someone walked up into the same shit. They were never just watching you do that on the monitors like he's yeah I'm gonna kick this out then don't mention of I can't remember if I've told my First time at a blackjack table story here.

Don't think so with my drink order I feel like I must have I sat down at a blackjack table when I was 21 I had no beard They carded me as soon as I sat down I look without a beard folks. I look like a baby I think still kind of but especially then and you look like a baby with a beard It's true. I do look like a boss baby, right? And I sat down and they give you as I said drinks for free and Ever what there's a lady comes over.

She's taking the drinks, you know, who was like me a whiskey soda and I asked for a white Russian Oh bowling king. Yeah, so she writes it down. Nobody says a word. I'm sitting there I'm kind of learning the game people are like treating me very nice because they see that I'm a little baby She comes back with the drinks.

She puts down everyone's drink. She saves mine for last. She puts it in front of me And she says and one chocolate milk for the baby I'll tell you what that crowd went wild. You would have thought we're at the crap stable, baby They can lit up.

Holy shit. I slipped her a fiber before that happened It was I mean that was like chocolate milk for the I've never felt more that's the thing dude It sucks to say because it sounds so lame. Oh, like I don't want to portray either of us as like fucking hangover Let's go to Vegas and get There is a certain Like powerful energy to sitting down and playing a game money or no money right playing a game with people that you don't know their names You've never met them and you'll never see them again and all of you are acting like best friends that Wild to me like in that moment I was embarrassed But I was embarrassed in the same way that like you get embarrassed around your friends like oh fuck she got me All right, you know like it was it's crazy the type of energy you get sitting at that floor on that casino floor What's the battle the casino for a second sort of refresh the gears? Yeah, because that's everything outside Let's talk food and bev.

Okay, what you got now Vegas is Because it's a place for indulgence home to many fine food and bev correct I've never been there as a person who had money to enjoy such a thing so I don't know about this But there are like lots of apparently great restaurants there I mean Roy Choi has a restaurant there that love to try it's got good shit, but let's talk buffet, baby Yeah, you got it. What do you want to talk there everywhere? Yeah, and I say yes to this dress is that we're going with this? We're talking crab legs.

We're talking for Tata. We are talking whatever the fuck you need sometimes There's a field your own bloody Mary bar. Oh don't mind if I do Oh 18 different types of cookies. I'm most simple one of each.

I suppose it's slap so hard I shout out to I got to buffet shout outs for Vegas treasure Island got a an affordable decent buffet and that's Crucial right that is a that is a fuck. We were out so late on Friday. We just got moving it's Saturday morning It's actually like 1130. We don't we're not trying to break the bank cuz we all lost like a hundred bucks last night Let's go to the treasure island buffet easy peasy.

Mm-hmm. Shout out to the wicked spoon the top of the cosmopolitan a booji booji booji buffet Like I love a buffet. We did a whole episode on it. Yes.

Yes. Yes. Yes I'm gonna say can I I I will push back a little bit on the cuz people love the food scene in Vegas and I think those people are a little stupid Food there is good. I think it's surprisingly good because it doesn't really need to be and it is which is crucial to me Like you could every every casino and hotel could just have like popcorn and hot dogs like a movie theater And I would be like yeah, that makes sense.

I'm drunk sure so the fact that they have great food is awesome However, it's like every almost every good place is a celebrity chef restaurant. Mm-hmm. That's annoying a lot of those It's a lot of kind of pomp and circumstance. It's a lot of In name only like we went to Jose Andres's two of Jose Andres's restaurants in Vegas both very good But it's just a particular vibe.

Yeah, it's not as easy and so I'm sure someone could slide and be like oh That's good. You know that real dives. It's not easy to find like a dive That's kind of the shitty thing about Vegas in general everything is on the map. There's no like hidden gems They're all they all have a big fucking 100 foot electric sign like by definition Oh, is Santa category?

Oh, it is the city of sin, isn't it? Oh I think it might have to be oh, I don't know how we do this without it. We got a lot of categories. Okay, let's cruise Let's start with the elephant in the room.

Okay, can we start with the elephant in the room hit me sex work is a very pretty good Yeah, I'm out there y'all yeah, I've not dabbled but hey you got to make a living And let it rip baby same but just be careful out there y'all just just all of everyone involved on both ends of this be careful I think that both of us saying never dabbled right away both makes us sound like enormous virgins and big liars The big elephant in the room everybody knows it we've never done it together gambling is a three very sinful Overindulging to me is a two because like when you're in Vegas, that's cool until you wake up and it's like oh my money is gone Whoopsie. Yeah, like we're not trying to get our stomachs pumped on this night game. I do. How about this for a sin drinking outside?

It's a three. I love that very quite lit. It's it feels crazy. Yeah, how about this is a sin in the fucking hurricane dude I hate them so very not quite let her sin.

I agree. I agree as far as consumables go. It's a bad 19 feet of hangover juice Yeah, it's it's no good, but I do love that. It's not just like it's different from New Orleans a little bit right New Orleans It's like oh, yeah, you can take a drink outside of what's other hurricanes or whatever But like New Orleans is still like regular bars So it feels like I don't it feels different than when you're in Vegas and you're like again like at the shops at Little Caesars And you're like oh I can get a mudslide here Just take it to go on the street interesting.

Oh, I can oh, you'll give me two tall boys of takate to go to just walk around with okay Okay, it's also very interesting that you could take beverages from one business into another business and dispose of it there Yeah, they don't give a fuck dude. There's something that's generally allowed I can't like get a plate of pasta and then go next door and hand it to the people at another pasta restaurant Be like would you mind busting this for me? Yeah, I think it's I think that what's cool What's interesting about Vegas is that the casino is incredibly predicated on there are rules that we all know here And if you don't follow them you are in fucking trouble and the rest of that city is like don't even think about it There's no rules whatever rule you think it's not that big of a deal do it and maybe it'll be fine Oh, I have another one for casino and this is a shocking one for me. Dude sports betting in a casino I don't need to do it like that's not that fun to me well, and who you surrounded with right?

It's like I don't and it's like well I don't understand like I'm gonna go to Vegas and place my big bet on the big game and then sit at a bar and watch the big game I don't need that like that's not that fun to me. It's a shit. I want to talk a little bit about shows a Magic show I have no interest in but people love them in Vegas. Where do you fall?

I don't like magic is Very good when done by a good magician, right? And they all are good there right like that's the thing I don't here's the thing I don't want to see I don't want to go to the theater and watch a man saw a woman in half pass Seen it. I mean I actually have never seen it, but I don't care I don't think they're doing that dude. I think okay.

Let me just close up magic is the titties I think so too, but everybody swear by like pen and teller like there It's not just like oh, they're coasting on their name like everybody loves them. Everybody loves like fucking amazing Jonathan or whatever like is this Anything I think to to me and that's it. It's just got to be amazing Jonathan. He's like a comedian that does magic Shows I got another one and I saw a big one for me anything at the football stadium Sure last time I was in Vegas.

We I'm not gonna do this whole story very long Last time I was in Vegas. We were there to see Beyonce It was at the stadium the stadium itself is very nice getting in and getting out is a fucking nightmare It is the without question the worst experience I've ever had like going to or leaving an event and seems extremely unsafe and susceptible to any sort of like accident or Emergency or whatever it was a dreadful dreadful nightmare. Maybe they'll work that out. I don't know if it sucked calm perfect I mean, that's what the Super Bowl is this year and it is going to be a fucking shit show brother I let me assure you it's going to be night.

There is one Single lane road in and out of that parking lot now. Tell me what you think about that, baby I do not like that what you are saying to me. Yeah, so that one's no for me a show a residency dude I kind of like it. I've never been to one, but I love the idea intimate didn't Vegas get that new then you everybody be talking About yeah, do they got that we haven't talked I were 40 minutes in and we haven't talked about the only thing anyone talks about with Vegas anymore Which is the fucking the dome dude dome or whatever?

I all I know is that every fucking celebrity alive was posting that Go to see you to the dome do look Ron Ron is out here like you two is sick. Yeah, dude I have to tell you I'm out on the dome. It's spooky on the outside. It looks insane on the inside I can't be fucking with the dome.

It's a one. It's too scary I don't know shit about it. I'm not here to defend the fucking dome We had a view of it from our hotel room We would be on say and it was just like an emoji would pop up on it or one time I looked in it was just one big eyeball pass brother. It's out for me.

What's the deal? Is it like invisible? Nah, or like is it like reflect? What's the look like from the outside?

Dude the outside Google Vegas don't the outside is a big I thought it like did like a reflection thing. No, it's a huge screen So like this is oh as eyeball The thing that sucks about is mostly it's a huge advertisement like that they advertise like NBA like summer league By making it a big basketball and saying NBA so it's just like a big billboard. It's not it's a go-in-a-time square But it has a fucking an iMac theater inside of it. It's nothing to me.

It's absolutely one. Yeah What about I did see okay Vegas may be the only place where the circus is a very quite lit I never been to one of those that they also seem spooky, but tell me you've been so you so say bro. It's fucking First of all, I have to just assume probably the very quite list of sir. Sorry.

Mm. Yeah, most likely. Yeah, I assume I I I saw I mean very much the waboo nothing could top it But like it was the beat the Beatles had one is called love and it's like brother Just people flipping and zip in dude I mean nobody ever in the history of time is seeing one of those shows and said anything other than holy shit That was so fucking awesome So like good on them because like how how have you managed to like beat the hype still incredible? Let me tell you what I think is a one and I'm sure neither of us has seen it and I'm okay saying it's a one the blue men Dude get out of here from from try again.

I have seen the blue. Oh, do you love it dude? When I was in high school, I'll tell you what I did love it Well, they're kind of our kids right they're doing like little antics yeah, and they're a man and there's paint They do funny little goofs. Oh boy.

This guy loves the blue man. It's like fucking a bunch of mr. Bean's up there Huh just silent. Oh, yeah goofsters.

Oh, yeah, oh no new t-shirt Okay, so do you want me to put blue men is it too is that what you're telling me right now? No, I don't you can leave out okay, I have another show that I've never attended also But I have to tell you it I'm like a little I kind of what I kind of want to dude Vegas the big fight dude I Don't care about boxing or UFC. I want to imagine just imagine Big fight close your eyes for me close your eyes for me. Would you hit me?

Do you taste the electricity in the room right now? Oh, I can't there's a taste in a feeling it I can hear Chanting dude. Oh my god. Here he comes.

It's the fucking champ. He's come in and there's a new kid in town trying to take him down I don't fucking think so. Let's go in. Holy shit, dude.

Let's do the big fight We're not to get on a plane right now. We're sitting fucking ringside dude. We're wearing tuxinos I can fucking taste the sweat on my lips cuz I'm so fucking oh, yes brother That's tight dude. They kill the lights before the guy comes in.

How about that? Oh when they do that dude? It's done so for me Dude bone size ready. Let's fucking yeah Yeah, the big fight has got to be if you like This is somebody who again has mixed feelings about Vegas.

I feel like we've turned so sharply from like yeah It is it is it is the biggest I want to experience on my trip to Vegas right right right right but imagining That's and that's what Vegas is right is you pretend like you won the jackpot You pretend like you went to the big fight in a tuxedo and then after the big fight you hit the casino floor You rolled the dice for six hours straight hottest hand they've ever seen on that casino floor You want everybody there a billion trillion dollars everybody's chanting your name. They hoist you up upon their shoulders It's all it's all there for the taking extra is off the strip. I'm gonna hit a couple because I feel like I'm gonna know this more than you Yeah, and we could really speed through him Hoover damn. It's honestly a one dude.

It's so boring Cool, okay, I'll give it to you, but whatever. I'm not in love with it. I'm a little damn dude. The hoovey Dizz yeah, it's a big it's a big honking damn the problem is is it's very far from anything in Vegas So it's like not it's like the state line with like Colorado or whatever.

It's not like super convenient It's not the neon sign museum. I think it's a three. It's very tight You go when you look at all the old the signs for the Stardust and fucking all those other shit cool. Yeah Off the strip dude, I this is like it kind of bums me out so it's I might be a one or two much like the strip and the airport everywhere in Vegas has Games to gamble and it kind of is sad to see someone at the Safeway Just dump in a couple of bucks into the slots bums me out with the grocery store Dude the grocery store at the Savileve dude if you go to the fucking diner Like I used to go to a diner with my my and it was kind of a sports bar.

Oh wait I actually have to shout this out incredibly I cannot find proof of this when I promise you it exists My grandma grandpa for many years their favorite diner, which they went to at least once a week You know how old people are dude they get locked in on a diner and it's done like that's oh that's it They live there everybody knows their name there. My grandpa turns down the menus as they start to set them on the table This was a big dog themed diner as in big dog apparel the shirts with the big dog My favorite apparel they had a they had a Establishment and eatery that we would frequent and there were slot jeans and slot machines in that and people would sit down at the big dog Bar and Grill and chomp down on those slot machines for a little bit and it made me dang sad Didn't it we said the casinos a tight ship, bro But like despite the fact that the city is run rampant with drunkards The whole city is kind of a tight ship think about the fact that you virtually cannot accidentally walk into the street Yeah, that's a good man That's a good point because you think that those crazy like bridges that go over the streets and like it's kind of like a sneak attack tight ship Yeah, it's an extremely walkable city in that only that area and otherwise is Unwalkable right almost like by definition. Yeah, no, that's a good point. It's a good point I don't have the clicky guys that come with the sex workers dude.

Yes, dude. The pamphlet dudes are out I do not like it pamphlet brothers can get lost. Yeah, if you don't know we're talking about you never been to Vegas There's these dudes who have these laminated pamphlets about it's not even necessarily I guess I don't know what the definition of sex workers sometimes just strip clubs, right? I don't know if that counts as a right, right, right, right, right, right?

But it's just like they have these little Cards pamphlet sometimes and they just like I heard something about how they're not directly able to like Advertise with words what they're doing so they just make noises and they click them and they scratch them against the telephone poles And I don't like it. No, it sucks And that's a crazy rule for a place that has seemingly no roots that it doesn't make sense But it's also like why the fuck else are they doing that? Yeah, I agree The on the strip the walking bridges. I give it a three.

I go on you I don't want to have to like you shouldn't be funneling all of these horrible people into a crosswalk give them other options Where cars cannot strike them. I think driving on the strip is a two There is sort of a like a fanciful like look at the lights pass and wow This is great And then you realize like oh my god This is feels like the absolute worst way to travel in this place is to go down this specific street so that to me I think we can improve the strip bro. Just just just Gotta tell you it's some ideas already coming to mind. What about that gondola?

Oh would love a gondola gondola on the strip one fucking BFG shooting over the entire one end of Vegas to the other huh don't have to walk express Yeah, I like it I mean that is the funny thing about Vegas is everyone always seems to be relocating even though all the places are Basically the same what's that about I think it's just about moving bro. You gotta keep moving. It's not swimming You will drown. I think that's really what it is.

Dude strategy is like crucial in Vegas. I Mean I think the strategy is there's not much I think it's all just one thing to say right and it's pace yourself Yeah, fair enough fair enough That mostly covers it for me. I think I think pace yourself You have to pace yourself and as you put it just keep swimming like it's all right move on I like I think I have a good wrap up question. Okay.

Shout ash Crossen friend the guy Oh, yeah, cool. Listen to it. She's recently talking about the Mount Rushmore of cities that you have to visit assume No one's visited any cities you get four American cities to pick Justin McGrath this Vegas make your not rush more No, no, no, no because it's it's at the end of the day. You can't spend more than two or three days there I mean that's part of the strategy right is like if once you wish that third day It's becomes unfun unless you are so so so rich and then in which case like I don't go to Bali or something dude What that's weird that you're here the only thing that would make me say it does is that it's so unique But I do think it can be skipped It's a play okay, but and then the other I agree with that it can be skipped and part of that is because it is a play And again, this is like sort of I design and this is what a lot of old head Vegas folks complain about it is a place Like when you are traveling there it is devoid of any Substance or culture and like I don't say that it's like we wanted to be cultured.

I mean like There's nothing to dabble in there that like you can't get somewhere else This is just like the biggest brightest loudest version of it, right? And that's like I'm not to say like oh casinos are obviously they're not we don't have them in California But like it's it just feels like nothing is unique to it other than the Extravagants at which they have like it's a mall But it's a fucking craziest mall you ever been to the stores are nuts the sky in there is fake There's a bar like it, but that's it It's a mall like so much of Vegas is that I think for those reasons I'm out and you know I hope that the real head Vegas it's what do you call people from Las Vegas? I don't know big or re-nose Las Las Vegas Las Vegas Oh boy, that stinks if all those vegans out there I hope that you're all pulling a big old prank a Roni on us and like you've got the real shit under lock and key for just you And you know what you're doing and us little tortistas are not getting in your biz I hope that's what I want for you. Yeah, I agree I mean I've spent a lot of time with those folks and there is some truth to that But yeah, I agree with that I ideally those folks are living just like the sickest treat and a lot of it to be honest is like Retired people it's like the same people that would move to Florida, right?

And it's like yeah, I live out in Henderson. I'm an hour from the strip I just wanted to come to a dry-ass desert so my wrinkle body could just like be hot all the time and that's the life I'm living Yeah, damn dude. I know we're wrapping up, but I do need I got one bonus point hit me dude. Mr There's mr.

Is all over that place and I love a mister Mr. Dude, it's a mister is just is just wonderful We haven't talked about the fact that it's in a literal desert It's a billion trillion degrees and that sucks most of the time, but a mister is such an oasis, dude It's mana when I'm when I'm slurping down my 14th whiskey soda and it's not even 4 p.m And I'm cooking up a gnarly sunburn. Oh, baby that mister that mister is a hand from God. Mm-hmm.
