You guys ever been on a plane? I forgot about the divorce. It's been so long. Let's catch up a little bit. You're living living you're out in Vegas Yeah, move there in 2020 and what do you got? You got a house? You got an apartment? I bought a condo man cuz well prior to that cuz I was in LA forever and then bought a house in Ohio Which huh? Why that's where she was from and plus I you know I got a 4000 square foot home on an acre of land for like $400. 187 a month out the door, dude.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Wait, so that's where you were based for a little while. How long were you guys married? We were together almost 12 years, but we were married maybe five. And just shit went south. But the cool part was we signed. He's got such an Italian way of breezing over. Shit went south, so I'm outta Yeah, you know, it was uncomfortable because I don't know.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Well, we were like separated in the same house. We had to move out and live in the other room. So I was like, fuck it, let it. That's your master bedroom. You were her. Who do you think? Who do you think got the house? Who do you think got the master bedroom? She got the whole fucking place.

No, the models to remember the ones that were the fat heads or whatever. No, no, no. Talk about chicks. Oh, like the centerfold. You know, like what were their names?
Starting point is 00:04:38 They had all the Sandra Cotain. They had all the hot models back then, the chicks from like Baywatch or whatever. Sure. Anyways, we, we, we, I ruined that. No, so I was living in the other room and you know, I put a lot, cause when you buy a house, I'm like, okay, we moved to Ohio. Cause you know, you plan on having kids and I don't want to fucking raise a family on like sunset in Doheny.
Starting point is 00:05:01 You know what I mean? And uh, which we, you know, obviously we didn't add the kids, but I just, you know, you do everything in the house. You know what I mean? You get it all set up. Well, I was grounding the outlets, putting the drywall up in the basement. You were doing all that?

He's you know when you just look I said I need to get it done. Okay? Art man, he's sharp. I mean listen again. This is all generational I guess sure cuz I grew up you know the older Italian guys in my family That's that's how they did of course you know all the old-school guys would get manicures all the time is the tank in the car usually always full At least at half but uh, you know sometimes
Starting point is 00:35:32 but I get my gas at Costco and No shit. Well, here's the thing like Costco is cheaper, but then there's the inconvenience factor, right? Yeah get there There's the line thing. You're like, I don't feel like fucking dealing with this now So sometimes I'll let it go but you want to keep at least a half a tank and is the car backed in or is it? Pulled into the driveway. I pull in I don't you pull in yeah garage or driveway Garage get it in the garage. Yeah, I don't I don't back in I pictured you as a back-in guy Nah fuck so you get the fuck out Listen you can still run somebody over

I don't care if you're forward or back. I don't valet though. Why? Cuz if I gotta get out, you know, I don't fucking wait. He's yeah, but uh You know if I'm with a girl, yeah, yeah, but even then but I give her the keys if I park The girl I'm with gets the keys in case there's a problem. She can get the fuck out. Dude, I'm nuts with that. Really? Yeah, so you're going after even if it's a date if we're on it Yeah, but I think you're worried about like you'll see some but something will happen where you're like I have to handle this
Starting point is 00:36:43 You gotta get out of safety get out of here I'll stay here and fight these nine guys especially what with my wife because I would tell her if you sit there lingering You're gonna get me killed I can get in and out and she's like we're just going Starbuck if you're lingering you're gonna get me killed Imagine the rundown of instructions these broads get before they go to a casino. I know we're fast forwarding to it, because you guys know me, this is why we're here. Sure, exactly.
Starting point is 00:37:10 But there's a gradual process to get us here, but we're just here now. No, you're not wrong. This is the razor's edge that you live on between class and trash. In my mind, in my crazy mind. Only because of what you see when you're younger and when you're around. Now you're worried about shit all the time. All the time. And then when we would go out,
Starting point is 00:37:33 I'll tell you a great story. So we were in Chicago one time and I used to go to this place called Gillies. They had this loud singer, his name was Tony Ocean, I love the guy. But he was like, like you'd see on a, like he'd do Sinatra covers and stuff. Yeah, is this 57, 58? No, this is like 2000, when we first started dating, my ex, my ex-wife lived in Chicago. And I would tell her, I would say, you know, look, let me sit here, and you know, she grew up in Ohio, you know, normal chick, had a dad, you know. So she just wasn't around stuff a dad, you know, so she just wasn't around stuff college, you know Never had the heat coming around the corner
Starting point is 00:38:09 Saying and you know, I grew up in North Jersey at the time and even South Florida, you know There was always something going on So we're dancing. That's a great way to say your childhood not first for the people that might not have heard the first one or know About you that much there was always something going on. That way, that's a perfect way, like, there was always something going on with you. Yeah, like, weird shit too, but, uh, anyways. Like, there was a guy down the street that would, like, take you, like, I don't know if this was around here. This guy would, like, take his dick out in front of kids.
Starting point is 00:38:40 But, you know, you just didn't go over there. Yeah. We had, we had a... In Philly, there was Uncle Eddie. He was a crazy rich guy. Mm-hmm, but you know you just didn't go over there. Yeah In Philly there was uncle Eddie it was a crazy rich guy tell ask your buddy about he was a Philly legend He would just pay me like dirty underwear No, it's just anything like hit you with like a hit him with like a nine iron or whatever He gave you like 20 bucks So all the kids all the kids hit all the kids in the neighborhood would use them as like an ATM machine They'd be like how the fuck you get 200 bucks. I went down uncle Eddie's and you know fucking gave him some underwear. Take them in the nuts. That's amazing
Starting point is 00:39:08 Wait, so hold on. So you're wait, so we're Tony Ocean Yeah, we're there and we used to go there a lot and we're dancing Dancing how cuz you know they can dance, you know slow dancing with your girl cuz he would do like like crooner stuff like angle Bert Humperdink, you know after the loving strong song by the way And then uh, so we're sitting there dancing and then I notice a fucking perimeter being set up two guys over here guy over here So now I grab her she's like, what are you doing? I said shut the fuck up Right, and I mean if they were moving in on this dude And oh on another guy another guy and then it just shit just broke out mm-hmm and I just took her rolled out got out the exit you know and then but that's why that's why if it that once and I mean it got it got pretty
Starting point is 00:39:56 pretty heavy but anyway that time yeah at that time is it was this a nice place yeah it was just like you know know, you just notice you notice. You notice how people are moving. How guys walk in different or aggressively standing. I don't know if you've ever seen a guy who's really staying. Yeah, I've seen you stay. No, you know, like the guys that that like, you notice they'll hold the bottle. Like, I know. Oh, yeah. We're like this.
Starting point is 00:40:21 They're holding it, holding it, standing there. Of course, you just see things And it's not like I'm a tough guy.

There was a problem Yeah, you know around young guys you have a crew another crew, which is crazy because that crew We'd probably be friends with if we want, you know Certain types of guys and I was never I didn't like to I don't like to fight and start stuff I was more about the girls, but then you always have the guy in the crew. Yeah someone'll drag Like you know I remember one time we walked into place my buddies like I'm either get laid or somebody's getting knocked the fuck out I think I like do why are these our options?
Starting point is 00:43:03 Get a freaking hoes over my hammie There's gotta be. Right. How about we just go to Denny's and get a frickin' Moons Over Miami? But I was never that. I was like, I was never that guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know. Is that your order at Denny's? Moons Over Miami? Oh, yeah. Moons Over Miami is strong. That's what you would do. And the Denny's burger combo with the salad.
Starting point is 00:43:18 Oh, burger combo. And then back in the day, they had Mother Butler pies. That was like, I don't even know what that is. I won't get eyes on that. Looked those up. They were strong mother butler pie the banana cream was fucking phenomenal Oh, I think I know you're they had they had our they had their own line of pies. Yeah Yeah, it was out of Fort Lauderdale. It says mother butler pies. Yeah Those were strong apple pie strong. I remember that button Mother butler pies don't leave without one. Yeah, they were great. The Boston cream was strong
Starting point is 00:43:47 What would be your norm? What would be if you're going out to breakfast? We're right now was the morning We were not hit a diner. What are you getting? An omelet man not keeping it tight if you if you were letting loose. I depends man I love pancakes, but I also like corned beef hash. I know that sounds really yeah gentlemen, but if it's not if it's too salty But I put ketchup on everything like corned beef hash, I know that sounds crazy. Really? Yeah. Gentlemen. But not if it's too salty. But I put ketchup on everything. You know what I mean? And what sucks is I like spicy food, but I can't eat it.
Starting point is 00:44:15 So like if something's spicy, I gotta pound. He's so funny. I gotta push through it, man. I'm sweatin'. My mouth burns. You a fast food guy? Yeah. What are you hitting? I like filet of fishes from McDonald's is strong.
Starting point is 00:44:29 Put a little sweet and sour sauce on it. Would that be the only thing you get? Or would you get a burger too? No, when I go in. But I do one meal a day. And sometimes I'll fast. I like to fast. I can go a couple of days without eating.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Yeah, like I eat a lot. It's like you eat a lot all at once. And when I do that three times a day. Yeah. Were you eating the car? You eat in the Cadillac? No, fuck. No, really never. So if you go and get the fillet of fish at Mickey's, my car, I try to keep it smelling as new as possible. Are you getting are you getting the food and drive back to the house
Starting point is 00:45:03 and have it at the house? No, I like to eat there. I respect that. Wait a minute, you're eating at McDonald's? Yeah, I'll go in and eat. Because there's a nostalgia of it too. Really? It's like, not that it's comfortable,
Starting point is 00:45:14 because my grandparents helped, they did a big part of raising me, and my grandmother every Friday would take us to, I don't know if you ever saw me do the bit when I hit the babysitter with the ax. That's a true story. I did not think you were embellishing that. And then we would go to McDonald's every Friday.
Starting point is 00:45:28 And that was just like one of the happier moments as a kid. Sure. When I- The old tan ashtrays and stuff like that. Yeah, and then they had like the- You cut a babysitter, then went to McDonald's. Fucking, what's you wanna call it? One of the happiest days of my life.
Starting point is 00:45:41 The gargoyle, not the gargoyle, those little fuzzy things that used to eat fries. Oh, fry guys They would have like the seats. Yeah, I remember they had the gym. Yeah the playground. Yeah, John Yeah, cage and all that shit But you know McDonald's is nostalgic to me. So I this is I mean I eat big when I go there That's the most gentleman are you going solo? No, the girl my girl likes McDonald's too. So you guys decide here we're going to go to Mickey D's.
Starting point is 00:46:05 Yeah. And you go in there and sit down. Sit down and you order. I respect that. Got the playground, the kids running around. You feel good. It's like a sense of America. It's like a sense of innocence.
Starting point is 00:46:16 Sure. I feel like he has a waiter when he goes. He's got the corner table. I will tell you this. You want a good advice. When you go out and you want to sit down Give the kid just the bus or you get the bus or $10 you slip in the bus or hand you get your bread It's always there fresh the they they bring you so sometimes they won't even you know things end up missing
Starting point is 00:46:38 You're Johnny because that guy you making ten bucks off any other table, so you're the you're the VIP say hey come here cuz like they'll come and you know you got to see if it's the same guy and he comes by a couple times and hit him so you run them like not on purpose but like I'll be like hey you're testing them out can I get some you know and then they come back and then you say here this is for you and the next thing you know more bread it's like a lot of bread I do something so after all after all that, you're like, yeah, but just more bread. Tipping tipping is underrated. Nobody does it anymore. It's very underrated.
Starting point is 00:47:11 But the other problem is people don't know once you tip them sometimes every once in a while, it's a mess. Guy just be like, oh, thanks. Yeah, I hate that. I get that. I have to go because with New York, I have to get my car out of the lot. And it's like you have to because they have to bring it up to you. So it's like sometimes they tip them and they're like, it's like expected I'm like you want to see them Like if you fill out you fill out the credit card thing
Starting point is 00:47:32 First of all, you put in a tip on the card or would you we do cash cash? You'll do can't have to claim it because I I worked in restaurants forever So when you give it to them, huh? Will you give it to them so they so they see it while you're there or will you just leave it on the table? Well, you want them to see it? Sure. You want them to see it. I'm a big see it guy.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Yeah, you gotta let them see it. And, you know, cause you want to let them know. Yeah, not well, it's more of, you know, remember me. And then, you know, again, tipping saves you money. Like I gave the guys, my residency at the Strat, the valets are there. Now, I mean, you get the players card if you play a lot, but they were charging for valets like 25 bucks,
Starting point is 00:48:16 for some reason. Now, when I pull in, because I do my show, I leave, I became friends with them, so you know, you throw a little money around, but then you give them like 100 bucks for the holidays. Your shit's right up front. You end up saving money by giving them money. Like I don't mind, when I would rob stuff
Starting point is 00:48:34 when I was younger, no for real, I don't give a fuck about Macy's, you know what I mean, or any of the corporations. But the people that work there, you take care of them, man. And you're saving money and they're putting money in their pocket. And that's who I really want to help. Yeah, for sure. Who are you? Who are you breaking off at Christmas time?
Starting point is 00:48:54 Do you have you have a list of people that are getting banged out? The valet guys? Yeah, they'll get they'll get like a C note and then give us. Do you have a super anything like that in the handyman? that nothing but i'm like here's all right here's how you save money like with when i had to replace my hot water heater okay and by the way those home insurance companies are full of shit you know they in order they they needed it to break. Now, my grandfather was in the hot water heater business. Right. I know something about them. Now the new ones. Anyways, there's rust in the water.
Starting point is 00:49:31 That means this fucking thing is going to leak. You call your home insurance company, you know, like whatever they are, the the way you pay like 40 bucks a month because they're supposed to. But it needs to break. So in other words, I got to get fucking water damage in order for you to get the claim. So now what they do is if you call them, they charge you for the call out. Okay, right. Dude, this was a big thing for me. So they charge you for the call out.
Starting point is 00:49:55 So let's say I call my company, I report, I say, Hey, I think my heater is about to go. All right, well, we'll have somebody come down and look and assess it. We have to pick who it is. So they charge you 100. hundred meanwhile if I just called them myself it's a free call free call free consultation come free estimate we'll come out take a look at it so the first guy comes out says not yet he says yeah you're gonna need this replaced then then they said well they didn't recommend it because a lot of these people don't want to work for the insurance to do it because they don't pay as much they negotiate down sure wait for the money to do it because they don't pay as much. They negotiate down. Sure. So you wait for money to is what I did.
Starting point is 00:50:28 It's true. Then I said, well, let me get a list of your insured people. So, you know, ones that are there. So they did. I started doing the free calls, had guys come out, found the right guy. How many guys you're going through that this I had hit about two or this was the third guy. Now he was the guy. He was the guy. And I talked to him and, you know, they're trying to charge me forty five hundred.
Starting point is 00:50:49 So now this is where it goes. Well, you know, because it's only it's easy to put the heater in. Now lies guys have contractor licenses as well, so they can buy at discount. So I said he goes, I go, how much, you know, talk to him. How much would it be? It's like remember the old cable thing when the cable guy would come in. Yeah. And then you say, Hey, here's 50 bucks and he'll hook it up. So you get all cable. Sure. Um, so basically you can see it. I go, how much? He goes, it's, it's, it's really an easy job. I said, well, how much would you charge me to put it in? He said, ah, two 50. I say,
Starting point is 00:51:21 how about this? I give you 500. Okay. buy the by the heater and then and then just get it done. So, you know, whatever you make so I gave By giving them it cost me. I mean I gave him a little extra. So let's just say 2000 even For the water heater to come in and get it as opposed to the 45 to 500 This is off the books. This is like. Of course. Now, he was, if he was. He's happy, I'm happy, everybody wins. If he was hired by the insurance company, that guy would have made hourly rate of like two hours. Nothing.
Starting point is 00:51:52 So now he's got fucking full pockets. You got full. See, that would be trashy, but the way you describe it, it sounds so classy. It's smart. Yeah, you're not wrong. And you know, that's what the whole Fight Club movie was about.
Starting point is 00:52:05 And that's why... I don't think I took that away from it. For real. This guy's good. And Fight Club, even the way things were in New York with the Italian guys, you control the working class. The working class is where the power is. Sure.
Starting point is 00:52:21 Right? Like if you have a billion dollars, you ain't building that building by yourself. So you need people to build it. It's the same concept. You, we're the ones that they need to go to. Right? They're the one. Well, now that you guys are making money, you're the enemy. No. Um, so like, you know, a restaurant doesn't give a fuck if this kid gets stiff. They don't give a fuck that they're doing 200% markup on a, on a soda. This kid don't give a fuck that they're doing 200% markup on a soda. This kid don't care, right? But if I can give him more money and not pay as much, why wouldn't I just put that in his pocket and you know? No, I'm very big.
Starting point is 00:52:53 Growing up, everybody was a construction worker, so it was like, we're not going to go through the company. We'll have like even this building, like this set, my cousin Michael came up and did it on the weekend. That's how you do it. Hey, come up, side work. I'll buy everything. Give them cash. What do you want the week. That's how you do it. Come up side. I'll buy everything What do you want a day? Here's here's two days. Yeah today at your rate Whatever you want about a Bing better boom out the door
Starting point is 00:53:11 And they wouldn't have made that much if they were if now if you're an individual contractor, then you know, you're like, yeah And then there's always side stuff. Sure, right shout out to side work like, you know, you you could say to them Okay. Well, what does this cost? Well, this is what I get at cost so there's no markup there But then there's ways to do it where you know they can find more money in their pocket And I don't come back Sunday night at 8 It's not illegal It's also not not illegal It's not I get what he wants to do on his free time
Starting point is 00:53:44 He can do on his free time, he can do on his free time. This is fucking America last time I checked. This is in communist China. What is this? What are we communists? Are you communists? Is this what we're listening to now? But, you know, listen, I'm very fortunate to be over 50 and to have lived around guys that were all, you know, my whole family did all the, you know, in the city, you know, that's where you come from.
Starting point is 00:54:09 So you know the ins and outs of everything. Of course. I've never been a person who's ever been like, I'm gonna call this 1-800 number to have my gutters fixed. It's like, call up my dentist, Kevin, someone's gonna come fix it. So you got a $4,500 hot water heater for two grand. It was about 1800
Starting point is 00:54:25 And I was out of pocket You know you sometimes you you know you You figure it out. Yeah, I Love that though. I love I love the hustle man Even as a kid running all the scams we did and everything to make extra cash Well, you feel better getting into the person, not the fucking company. Absolutely. Yeah. Like that was my thing when I when I got in trouble when I was younger,
Starting point is 00:54:49 like I wouldn't hurt anybody. But, you know, if insurance covers it, you know what I mean? It's a victim was crying. No, for real. And you could be in on it. Like you could get your old shit back. We could split new shit. Yeah. No, for sure. You get your old. And me and can split new shit. Yeah He gets your old Me and my ex-wife she would get mad at me sometimes because of the way I would I would finagle and do things But you know she wants to go up the middle she always wanted to do things
Starting point is 00:55:16 You know buy the book like all right. I don't have much time. We're good. So we're in the airport. We're in Ohio I killed a guy And she's bitching like I said, I'm not a no one So we're in the airport and we got there early early enough, but the gate where this is Christmas time and I mean the lines long and You know, you know women ought to get anxiety they start panicking sure and we had our dog that we had to check in which you know we had our dog that we had to check in, which, you know, we had as a the service. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, so now she's freaking out.
Starting point is 00:55:51 And I'm like, yo, relax. So I said, I got this. Mm hmm. We go. I go to the front of the line. I go, hey, I'll give you a hundred for that. We get it. Get in front. Right. And the guy was like, yeah, like it's denim nightclub. That's all you need. You greased the TSA.
Starting point is 00:56:09 No, the TSA came over, said you can't do that. Blah, blah, blah. I went to a regular person. I said anybody. You know, like a like a guy standing in line. You pulled the home alone. And then the TSA person didn't like it. So now she's like, oh, my God, she's freaking out again. I'm like, crazy. Relax. I'm like, relax.
Starting point is 00:56:25 I told her, relax. I got a hundred for you too. So now you gotta, this is what the working class thing is. When you've worked your whole life and you've done everything from landscaping to waiting table, whatever it is, construction grunt work. So now you go, all right, I said, let's go to the baggage handlers,
Starting point is 00:56:47 because those guys, they know the ins and outs. Now, remember, they could check you in on the curb. So I find this kid, and I go, hey man, listen, I'll give you 100 bucks if you can get us through the line. He goes, look, this is what he told me. He goes, I'm Christian, I don't do that, but I'll take you to somebody who does. Walks us to the front.
Starting point is 00:57:06 Loser. Walks us to the front. I'm also Catholic. I got a picture of Jesus. If he was Catholic, he'd do it. You know St. Michael? I got eight pictures of him. Here's St. Benjamin.
Starting point is 00:57:17 Now you know. So now I go to the front. I give the guy, I come up to him. I said, hey, and he goes, these were the guys that, and the kid was like, you could tell he's maybe reformed. Because he knew right away. He had somebody there. He goes, these are the guys I was telling you about.
Starting point is 00:57:31 I said, hey, how are you? You do the handshake. Guy didn't even look, put it in his pocket. Then he, not only did he check us in, he checked the dog in and brought us right to the front. Nice. 15, 20 minutes tops. Uh-huh, set of three hours.
Starting point is 00:57:43 And then I looked at my ex-wife, I said, I go, I go, I don't know how I'm gonna win, but I know I ain't losing. We're figuring it out. Yeah. And that's, but to her now, the way she would have done it prior is, you know, get her dad's credit card or say,
Starting point is 00:57:59 and say, can we get the next flight? Yeah. You know what I mean? You're like, I'm getting on that flight. We're getting on this. Now, in a situation like that, right, you're going to the airport. You got hundreds on you for that? Are you thinking ahead of time of, like, I
Starting point is 00:58:15 might have to grease somebody? You should always have cash on you, again, in case somebody robs you. You should always have enough on you to where you don't have to go to the ATM, and they won't kill you Like oh here's 300 bucks. You get the fuck out of that's a good enough score. I would say 200 now with inflation maybe three Yeah, if you got enough cash on you if you don't carry cash on you and let's say I mean this this out of city used To be mm-hmm. You know what I mean, but you know kid comes up yo run it
Starting point is 00:58:47 You know I got 200 get out of here Your mugger money, but you know this way they don't follow you to the ATM You just give them the cash tell me get the you know kick rocks You could always say this is my you always say it's your lucky day I just said I just hit the ATMs went out here, then so, you know, keep your wallet and all that stuff.

No. No he I met him But we watch games together and stuff so you know But uh he's the fucking best. I love it. And that's the other thing too. That's what's great about Vegas man It's like the sportsbooks. They got everything going on. I feel like that town is perfect for you. I fucking love it except As far as like nature goes, you're in a desert. Sure. But you got to give and take. But we get to change the seasons. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:51 But the the the sports books are fucking phenomenal. Like that's Circa. I haven't been. Buddy, it looks like, you know, we have a stadium when they have the damn circus. Megatron. You know, the the thing that hanging. There's one like in the middle of Circa. shit, and then um because I like to go to The cage I don't do the apps yeah, yeah, you know with the real feel you know what I mean I? Love it. I don't have you ever been to off-track betting back in the day Not oh, we used to go when we turned 18
Starting point is 01:08:17 We would go to the Philadelphia race track and I mean all day long if you want to quit gambling Go to an OTB. Yeah, see what you're gonna be it's rough in 20 years It's rough. We were 18. We were there. We're probably one of us was 18. It was putting the bets in for everybody else It was a weeknight. We're in school high school We're there watching some guy came over big old-school fat guy cigar had the fucking had the the Pamphlet whatever and he goes I never want to see you fucking kids here again I've lost three wives, four houses, my family, get the fuck outta here.
Starting point is 01:08:49 Who do yous like in the third? Then here comes sunshine. Before you go. Well Vegas man, when I first got out there, I hit a, not a bad run, but you gotta control yourself. But then I liked the table games, but then I got away from that and started playing slots. And you're a slots guy, dude, there's a method to it.
Starting point is 01:09:11 There's certain ones you got to look for. That's a tragedy thing you said. Hold on, I'll show you. I'll show you how many jackpots. Well, because what happens? What's the biggest jackpot you hit? And what is this like a Wednesday night or whatever? If you don't have a spot.
Starting point is 01:09:23 Is, you know, you get money, and then you put in there there's a there's a couple of the sevens machines that I play that I did I do $25 a spin and But when they hit they hit So well, here's how I look at it say you're gonna bet a grand for the month Right you want to play around whatever and a lot of people do the the video poke the video slots Which those don't really pay that great they're waiting for the bonuses Some of those by law a lot of these slots have to pay and if you can look at some of the other ones You'll see the progressive has to hit by a certain point. You just don't know when so, you know, you can kind of calculate
Starting point is 01:09:59 Calculate you can make your odds a little better Yeah, but if it you know if I'm gonna bet a grand for the month I'll go to the $25 one because if you hit you hit big you hit once and you know, you're talking like five grand change The the biggest one I've hit was 65 6500 yeah, but like I hit in the past three weeks 4041 a I'm sorry 42 like a 40 a 40, 80, then 1800. I'll show you, I'll take pictures of them
Starting point is 01:10:27 because my girl's sleeping. And I'm, you know. Babe, get up, you're never gonna believe this. I don't want her to think that I'm out doing anything sometimes, so you know, you're like, I'm at the slots again. But then I get all the free play, and that's where you can really earn.
Starting point is 01:10:40 Because like, you can take the free play, and if you go and you play with it, you just keep cashing out when you win win because you can't cash out the free play Ah, so you can make a couple hundred then take that and then you know go go by cologne with it some losses You'll do this after a show or were you just good like having a guy in the casino and hit the slaps for a little bit Sometime mostly after shows, but then sometimes I'll go just to solo or with the boys No with her she would her play too because she gets some free play, but she's doing like 88 cents a spin Sure, maybe do dinner whatever hit the slots
Starting point is 01:11:13 But you got to be careful like if you hate losing more than you like winning You chase sometimes cuz then it's like I'm gonna beat these fucking guys, but I got up and you know, that's just, but it's fun. Cause I don't drink. I'm not whoring. I'm not whoring. That's such an old school dirt bag. And you get off stage, the dopamine's going. Sure.
Starting point is 01:11:41 Yeah, then you're like, all right, let me play. Hit the slots. But here's what I don't like about the slots Whether you win or lose It gives you every spin kind of gives you like when you're playing blackjack You kind of feel like you're in control because you can say hit stay You know there's some type of strategy with the slots. There's not mm-hmm So even when you win you come back you feel like yeah, you feel icky. You know, I get it, man.
Starting point is 01:12:05 I could never do this. Lots of is there a game on it this hard rock? No, no, right. No, the one in. No, there's none in New York. None in New York Empire. You got the edge. Jesus. I was just curious.
Starting point is 01:12:19 For research purposes. Who look, you think I'm lying? We don't know. Look at this. I'll show you all my players cards. This is Resorts World. This is Rampart. This is Strat. What's Rampart? This is the Rampart Casino is a local one by us. This is Suncoast. And then these right here, you know, once you start playing, you know, you get free rooms, everything. So, like, I got comps for days, but I keep...
Starting point is 01:12:48 Comp for days in the city you live in. Yeah, like, people, like, if you guys come in, I got you hooked up. Will you stay at a hotel and, like, do a little staycation? Yeah. You and the lady? Yeah. It's fun. And then, you know, they give you, like, because once you get there, they want you to keep playing. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:13:04 So, you know, you get free dinners and whatever you say you let's say I want to get the steakhouse Well, how much how much you need? Yeah, I'll take 250 and then you go in but you can't tip them with it Sure, you know, and then it just goes back on your card, but they don't care. That's what they're there for Yeah, just want to keep it rolling. Yeah, then you know the rooms pretty strong You know, I used to spa there one time It's like the pool. I used it one time. Yeah But you got to use them up cuz they it'll go away and then everything resets
Starting point is 01:13:35 So whatever. Is that garbage? Is that perfect for Vegas? I mean yeah, no, that's I mean you you've you weren't you are fully in your own. I love it. Then you get show tickets. I've seen Barry earns no I've seen Barry Manilow. I saw go see Wayne Newton. I haven't I don't know if he's still going he's still banging like Yeah, we went yeah, I would go just to say I saw him Man group or something I saw Chicago I I saw Journey with the New Asian guy. Oh yeah, that guy rips dude. Yeah, that guy, he sounds just like him.
