FOREVER! DOG! it would be. If you need somewhere to cool down, please climb inside the Mirage Volcano. If anyone here pre-gamed at a certain magician's restaurant, this venue may soon become a deadly hotbox of kablit farts.

One of the hosts might leave the show after 15 minutes because he booked an extra loud, extra douchey VIP cabana at Wet Republic. Now live from the Space Las Vegas, just off the Strip, it's Podcast The Ride's Big Vegas Groove Blender! That theme song fucking slaps, and I wrote it. That's right. Take it. I'm like Steven Seagal with that screenplay.

I just heard the fucking jammingest song ever. You did? You wrote the song? You did. You wrote the song. No, no, you're supposed to ask me. So wait, so who wrote that theme song? I did. All right.

Take the win. Thank you. Take the win. You did it. And you know what? All of you guys take the win as well, because you were crazy enough to come to Las Vegas for Podcast The Ride. Oh, my God. Thank you.

You guys. You came. We came. We're all insane. Yeah. I'm so thrilled to be in this insane room. Welcome to podcast. I'm going to say for this moment,

a phrase I've been waiting to say for so long. Welcome to Podcast the rides big vegas wow incredible airbrush art befitting camel cigarettes in 1997 um classy i should say by the way podcast the ride a show hosted by three justice advocates who said we will never do a show in las vegas until there is a warrant issued in the case of tupac shakur they got it done they did do it right, yeah. Right before, right on time.

All of a sudden, they had to pull this whole thing. Yeah, we were waiting for the police to do something. Finally. We're back on board. It took 25 years, but they got it. More tanks, please. My name is Scott Gairdner. Hi, everybody. So good to see you.

Down the line. Yeah. I'm Jason Sheridan. Thank you. Mike Carlson. Nice to meet you. Wow. Wow.

Or, yeah. I don't think we should be done with applause because I'm going to ask for applause that will answer some questions that I have. Who, by round of applause, Las Vegas locals. Hey, great. Not bad. Like 25 people.

Wow, wow. That's pretty good. And who traveled for this? Who traveled to be here? Yeah! Wow. Incredible. Incredible.

Thank you. So honored. So honored that you would. That cost money. That's a whole thing to do. And you also had to explain to people in your lives. Oh, you're going to Cirque du Soleil? No.

No. Not that. Garth Brooks, perhaps? No. They talked about him once. They talked about when he put a wig on. Hey, by the way, Jason. Oh, yeah.

Show it off. You know, Garth is on stage just a couple miles away at caesar's and i just you know wanted to pay tribute to him as we're also treading the boards we're performers brothers what you're saying we're like garth i'd say all of us the Garth. Yeah. We just want to put on a nice show for the wonderful people. Yes, that's right. You're right. Now let's change into our alter ego costumes. Soul patches out, everyone.

No, this is so incredible that everybody would make the effort here. Jason, I think you had some odds and ends you wanted to take care of here at the time. Oh, yeah, I got into some Sin City Knights hijinks in the last few days. Who's listened to the MGM Grand Adventure episode? Thank you so much. So Jane and I just got approved for an apartment together.

Uh, very exciting. And, you know, we got to a point, the point where they're like, oh, can you please send a federal tax return? And I... A federal tax return? Well, just send a tax return. We just need proof of income, you know? Okay.

Gotcha. Gotcha. We just need proof of income, you know? Okay, gotcha, gotcha. And I had just cleaned off my desktop of my laptop for the first time in ages. And I had two PDFs on there, and one was indeed a federal tax return. Unfortunately, they were very nice about this, but I sent them something, and they're like, hey, I think you sent the wrong thing. That is not a tax return. And what I sent them was a PDF titled Apocalypse Now MGM Grand Theme Park Concept Storyline. Which, if you haven't heard it, is something we were passed privately by a listener yeah there

was a proposal for an apocalypse now boat ride that was going to be very close to here it could have been there it could have saved the whole thing that we'd all maybe the show would be happening at the mgm at the king louie Theater or whatever the hell it was. Were the labels of the files similar? No, I'm telling you, I just had two PDFs on the desktop and I dragged the wrong way. And you closed your eyes and guessed. I dragged and dropped. It got me in trouble and, you know, it hit send.

How far do you think they got, the building manager got, into reading the proposal and was like, this dark ride wouldn't have worked. I'm not letting this guy have an apartment. You know, I watched some of it on YouTube and they did use some of that proposal. But apocalypse now, what were they thinking? But you got approved despite. Yeah, this didn't kill the entire thing you sent the real thing proved despite that all right great my other piece of business about the the uh involves this shirt oh because don't take it off i'm i'm not taking it off he took his shirt off at the last live show

we did well well maybe i should change my rule there. Yeah, take it off if you want. It's hot out. It's very hot out. I thought, oh, I'll just get like a bootleg one. And I found one on Etsy. And what I got was like the most like fucked up bootleg I've ever seen. Oh, no. The bootleg i've ever seen oh no the bootleg has wrinkles there's a spot you can see

where the detail man stuck one side of the decal stuck to the other and when i opened it it made a disconcerting noise and this is already like a tent The shirt screamed when you opened it. Yeah. It looks like Chris Gaines. Garth Brooks is Chris Gaines. There's a bunch of scars all over his face. And the mythology of Garth Brooks alter ego Chris Gaines, if you didn't hear it in our episode, is that he was in a terrible car accident. Yeah. So finally, Chris Gaines is as ugly as Garth Brooks thinks he is. Yeah.

Can I ask a question? So you, wait, so you bought this first and then you went not good enough. Not good enough. I need to go to respectable bootlegger, Tee Public, your home for the finest bootlegs and also podcast merchandise around. Yes, I see a few.

There are some here. What's your plan with the shirt? So my plan with the shirt, is there someone here tonight who posted in our Facebook group, my wife and I are celebrating our anniversary in Vegas, and it'll be fun to come to this show. Oh, there it is.

If you were a desperate camel. Anyway, we're gonna let them loose in hour six. This is a 15 hour event. I hope you're aware. We're going.

And that ends tonight. Please give the

warmest of Las Vegas welcomes to the great Eva Anderson. Yeah! Wow! The best in the biz here for you. I also have a shirt to reveal. Oh, boy. Wow!

Wow! Race through New York starring Jimmy Fallon, the Tonight Rider. Wow. The real Tonight Rider. through new york starring new york jimmy fell the tonight right wow the pride rider the real tonight writer bought at the actual gift shop outside of the ride wow wow oh wait and what you were we haven't talked to you so much about yeah you were in orlando recently last month and i did buy this right this this shirt there and i also bought a hat wow what's the hat of the ride yeah it's just the same thing but i'm glad you're supporting these mom and pops the best ride the greatest which you

you said it was an oddly light day in the park yes uh our uber driver told us it was because of the woke uh ideology that people weren't going to universal which has harry potter they should love that um yeah it's like our uber driver's like yeah there's no one going to any parks anymore because of wokeness but i got the feeling too that the uber driver was she was like i make off-brand disney shirts and sell them on etsy and no one's buying them anymore and i was like, I make off-brand Disney shirts and sell them on Etsy, and no one's buying them anymore. And I was like, does she make, like, Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Wine? Oh, yeah. Ooh, that stuff.

Like, possibly, yeah. But anyway, wokeness has made all the parks very, pretty normal, but a little bit empty. But yeah, Universal was empty. I'm trying to think. I'm trying to wineify this with like jimmy jimmy cavignon i don't know savignon rather i don't i'm not sure that's that's a tough one to do if anyone thinks the one shouted out yeah jimmy needs a jimmy needs a wine wine shirt yeah but wait also but also the only ride that you waited for was was this right because they force you to wait and watch a bunch of dumb clips

i was so angry because we just walked onto everything else and then they forced you yeah but you needed the context did i who is this jimmy fallon what does he do tight pants what is this oh he just has a song but there's no punch line ah who is jack par i want to hear more about jack oh man uh uh let's hear let's take a seat we need yes all right do do do do do do sit down music here we go um well geez eva you're in las Oh, my God. It's such a dream to have you here. We got to ask you just about general, because you're a Vegas aficionado. There's got to be fond memories from here. What do you flash to when you think about great Vegas trips of yore?

Of yore? I think we went, I think I actually, listening to that MGM episode, I think I went to the park. But I don't remember doing anything there. Yeah, when I was a kid, we would come here every once in a while. My dad and mom actually performed at the Riviera before I was born. Wow. And the Circus Circus. So they had old Vegas stuff they liked, except for the Circus Circus, which is very well preserved.

It's mostly gone now. We would stay at the Desert Inn a lot, which is all, except for the Stoke of Circus, which is very well preserved. It's mostly gone now. We would stay at the Desert Inn a lot, which is gone. But yeah. Imploded? That's an implosion, right? Probably, yeah. I would imagine.

Pretty cool implosion. If you're a hotel and you didn't get imploded, something's wrong. Yeah, yeah. Means you didn't make a mark. Yeah. What would be the other option, though?

Like brick by brick? Somebody just hits it with a sledgehammer? Yeah, like ten guys with sledgehammers. Space laser? That's cooler. That's cooler than an explosion. That's awesome, yeah. They could have all the knights from Excalibur come and, like, stab it.

Oh, awesome. That's awesome, too. That's like a thousand cuts. I worked on an Extreme makeover home edition episode where a kid liked knights and so they had the medieval times knights come and like break their house down really it really occurred yeah it was a medieval times demolition but the thing was like no it wasn't the kid like knights the dad was involved in like a group that was actually kind of a weird religious cult that called themselves knights so bringing the actual

literal knights i don't think was the point they're like we gotta do it we booked the knights and so the knights just showed up and they like had swords and they just had maces and they like and were they they were like they had their like color like red knight. Yes. But that night they were all... It was in Connecticut somewhere. That night, though, they were all unified for one purpose. To destroy a house. To destroy a little boy's house. They had to keep pushing the father out of frame.

He's like, I'm going to tell you about real knights, brother. Wouldn't that be nice at a medieval times? You go one night and they're like, you know what? We're not fighting tonight. We're all on the same team and then they just like i don't know if they could sing or something just sing like campfire songs yeah night songs like fun night songs that'd be good that's like a yeah like the hoop do you do review but yeah yeah it's kind of nights have to sing something, right? I would imagine. There were knight songs, of course.

There must have been knight songs. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know that Old English is, like, in my wheelhouse. Yeah, I know, but it's old-timey stuff. Why do you all look at him? That's how little we know. We conflate 1920s...

with the 1400s. You know, the Crusades, You know, the Crusades and the Frawley Sings the Old Ones. That's all about the same time. Birth of Jesus. Basically the same year. Okay. Something I wanted to wait to ask until you were out here. Did anyone in this audience, was anyone in this audience crazy enough to go to Chris

Angel's restaurant, Ka-Blip? Wow. Wow. What? Today? God bless. How was it? What?

Wow. We got a Ka-Blip shirt right here. How many Italian ice flavors were there? I didn't check. It was breakfast. It was breakfast. Ah? I didn't check. It was breakfast. It was breakfast. So you had B. Did you look in the magic room? You looked in the magic room?

Oh, we do have somebody here. He's got the shirt. Oh, we have a kablip shirt in the audience. Show it off. That was the definition that ends with the shit. There's a Star Wars crawl on the back of this one. That's awesome. Yeah, give everyone time to read.

Okay, okay. You're going to be standing for a while now. Yeah. Did they put the animatronic back in the magic room? It's still gone? And the air conditioning is off. It's 120 degrees. What?

Oh, we have design on today different reports okay yesterday wait the whole restaurant it was off oh just the magic room oh my god see wait see if you booked the private special room your treat is a lack of air conditioning so you could you couldn't eat Italian ice in there. It would melt immediately. It would become Italian liquid very quickly. Are there still the temporary refrigerators behind? Yes. Yes?

It's been two and a half years. This is crazy. This was a solution for, because this restaurant, if you haven't heard all this, I'm talking to my parents. This is too much to explain. Wait, there's another Kaboom shirt there. Wow, there's a lot of Kabooms. Wow, well, we know we're in our element.

The magician Criss Angel opened a restaurant which was fraught with problems. They ran out of food within the first day. Seems like something you should plan for when opening a restaurant to continue to have enough food and there was no also no way to refrigerate the food so now the parking lot which is very small has to be like mostly filled with big exterior air conditioning units just big old wow that like he was storing the meat in the parking lot? Yes. Yes. So if somebody wants a hamburger and they don't have meat in the kitchen, somebody has to go out into the parking lot, open up a freezer, and pull a bunch of beef.

Yes. And it's still going on? That's bad. We found a system that worked for us. There's only a few parking spaces spaces but most of them are reserved for him how many are reserved for him like more than one i think or there's actually there's one that's very much for him and then there's like a mural of him being cool by his parking space well that makes sense yeah so you just get the feeling that if you were to block it that that would be a that

would be an issue like if you had a big tall car and it got in the way of his cool dirt bike painting he'd probably be pissed if he came in when do you guys think the last time he was there was like how many months has it been since he visited his own restaurant that's what they said whoa my god wait live where in the city where it is he goes Oh my God. Wait, live where? In Overton? In the city where it is? He goes. He will walk by. I wear camel pants sometimes. We just revealed that in the Ronnie Adrian episode.

I'm like, Chris, it's cool. You're as cool as Chris Angel. Yeah. Well, Chris is working if she can see him. That's great. He's there like multiple times a week, it's cool. You're as cool as Chris Angel. Yeah. Well, Chris is hard working if she can see him. That's great. He's there like multiple times a week, it sounds like. He's been there at least once a month. Oh, once a month.

Wow. That's like 12 times a year. All right. It's good, though. It's better than I thought. I thought he'd abandoned it. It seemed to us like he has lost interest in this endeavor. So it's really exciting

to know that this the ca of kablip is still in kablip i do like the arrangement of these like freezer giant temporary freezer things very much like the school music teacher who gets shunted to like a modular trailer yeah and it's like it was supposed to be for six months i've been here for three years but that's like the all-american burger is in there yeah yeah wow um geez okay well glad to hear that it's uh it's thriving you're not making time for you've had a you've been to kablit three times is that correct twice but i don't think i should do a third one it's i it's diminishing returns i feel like i've gotten everything i'll ever get in my life i think so mad yes magic room uh uh not not food poisoning you survived yeah and also we we didn't sit at the love table but it's fine okay okay yeah yeah um well uh so not fitting

that in uh but we are we are so glad glad you came here and made time for us. And especially because there's something that I think merits talking about tonight, a premise that is in the show a lot that I think is especially associated with you. And that is this premise of guys. This is something that we talk about a lot um and and we text about it a little bit we like assess who is a guy but we should let's explain for uh for my parents or for anybody who doesn't know uh the the concept of a guy it's a little bit a little bit hard to grasp i, or hard to define what makes a guy. But do you have like a starting point?

I have my ideas, but is there any definition to a guy you'd like to provide? Well, I feel like guys aren't, the important thing is that they're not monsters. They're not pure monsters. They have a lot of, they have a level of ambition and power. It's often a lot of power, sometimes not a lot of power sometimes not a lot of power they're single-minded they're maniacs but there's like a there's a whimsical element or something where you can you can have a you could be like that one's my favorite well you can't do that with like a warlord oh yes true genocide guy if you're yeah if your thing is killing lots of people yearly you you're probably not a guy.

But if you're... You wish. But if your thing is starting some ill-advised restaurant or business or theme park, and you have boundless money and boundless ambition. And you are so driven by your own odd obsessions to never take no for an answer. And if that requires you to have to live in a different reality than the reality that we all have chosen to live in, then so be it. And we love and we celebrate these people on the show. I was going to say, we celebrate the concept of the guy. Much like the Hall of President says they celebrate the concept.

And for some reason, when they put the Trump robot in, that's when the change was made. They stopped saying we celebrate the president. Necessarily endorse specific deeds, but the concept of the guy. The idea, I think, of the president necessarily endorse specific deeds but the concept of the idea i think of the president maybe is the particular language if it wasn't for basically the insanest of insane rich people who are mildly benevolent sometimes if we're lucky we probably would not have half of the things that we talk about on the show and we certainly would not have las vegas this place is teaming with guys always has been i think it was set up as a place to like house guys as a safe harbor for guys for

insane maniacs to build things and then tear them down two years later and an insaner thing comes up in its place uh sandbox for guys a sandbox for guys yep and we're we're just crawling through it i guess little worms in the sand we're just a bunch of worms uh um but anyway uh uh with that and knowing your fondness for guys um we wanted that to be kind of the focus of tonight's show and not just specifically not not not just guys in general but um being that we are in a a gaming town i thought that we could have fun tonight and play a little game a game called guy roulette um if you'll excuse me i am going to now reveal yes oh yeah if we can switch over to our screen to look at the Guy Roulette art.

But as we do so, let me reveal the Guy Roulette wheel! Wow! Look at that. So many weirdos on this thing. Our bettors! Yes, our bettors. many weirdos on this thing are betters yes yeah yeah dude due to uh having more money than us are betters yes let's take it in uh um and uh i'm gonna set it up right here um the wheel the wheel of guys guy roulette and uh um basically what we have here is six guys who are especially associated with Las Vegas. You might recognize some.

You might not recognize some. But we're going to learn about all of them or at least the ones that we land on. And by spinning, we've also got the mystery wedge. We'll see what happens when we land on the mystery wedge. Here's the issue, though. We're excited to talk about these guys. I was excited to pull the wheel out. But there's one thing that we are no good at,

and that's spinning. We don't know how. Our fingers cannot grasp the wheel. I can't. It hurt. I tried and it hurt. Yes, we all rehearsed it. We all straight to the hospital for hours before this

uh so if anybody here feels strong armed enough strong willed enough to come up and spin the guy roulette wheel and i'm going to add a caveat to that also um just just for this first one at least if if anybody who came from two states over, if you traveled from a long way, your hand went up first, sir, who was also at Kaplip. I feel like you earned it. Come on up, sir. I've done a lot of traveling. And we'll have multiple chances here.

Yes, jump up here. You can walk over on the side. Oh, boy. Thank God we have some ringer spinners with us here uh let's see you can join me up here oh yes indeed a really good shirt yeah um uh what's your name sir kevin evan uh thank you so much uh and where'd you come in from alaska oh my god geez that's far wow oh my god um that's that's incredible uh uh and you're but you're making a thing of it you're gonna make it you're not just doing this and leaving right i'm going to la after

this oh geez okay okay we'll tour in the co okay so here um are you rooting for any particular guys you may not recognize all the guys does anybody uh uh catch your eye do any guys catch your eye let's see win liberace yes go go a couple of previews, but only chance can tell us where we land. Go ahead and spin the wheel of guys. Lady Luck tonight. Will she smile upon us? Or will Lady Luck turn over a card we don't want? Ooh, okay.

This is Vince Cadlubic. Vince Cadlubic. We will explain who Vince Cadlubic is, but first we're going to say goodbye to you, Kevin. But before you go, please take a parting gift, which is a loose camel cigarette from the silver tray of loose

camel cigarettes. Thank you so much for playing. I'll just leave it up here, I suppose. Please do not smoke inside. Yes, do not smoke it in the venue. We're having fun, but do not smoke it in the venue. Donuts outside. They have rules at the Space Las Vegas.

It's the space, not flavor country. Okay? Eva, this is one that you've brought to the table for us would you like to tell us who vince cad lubeck is okay so vince cad lubeck i'll make this fast as the former ceo of meow wolf um we all we love meow wolf it's great yeah vince cad lubeck had the crazy uh thing where he was the one who thought of the idea to ask george r martin his boss at the movie theater for eight million dollars to build a multiidimensional house. And he said yes.

And then he made Meow Wolf. His boss at the movie theater? Yeah, he owned a movie theater. Wow, I didn't know that. At that point, George R.R. Martin got really, really rich. And he owned a lot of Santa Fe. And Vince Kedlupik was like, can I have all this money? And he was like, sure, I'll write a check. So he made Meow Wolf. So I, this is because in 2018, I saw him give a keynote address at a

conference about immersive design. And this was basically people talking about like how to market your escape room or how to like, you know, create different sort of interesting, like theme park and immersive concepts. He did the keynote. It went off the rails wildly and i have a transcript of some of the stuff he said so halfway through the the thing he just draws he shows us this um i'll just describe it he had it's a gray circle with a purple circle inside it and he says the gray circle is reality and the purple circle is subnatural reality and he's like this is a diagram i created so that's nature and that's natural reality and then that's the sub-natural reality. And he's like, this is a diagram I created, so that's nature and that's natural reality and then that's the sub-nature of reality.

And I'm talking about, like, that's like streets and buildings and, like, you have to go to court. And let's say, like, this is like the sub-nature and then the alt-nature predominant reality. And so then there's, like, red circles that he draws inside. He's like, and that's like Disneyland. And then... Disneyland is not like court. Disneyland is different than court yeah yeah so these are the all the alternative natures of

realities like these are like uh so like uh so basically these are like uh disneyland like that panasonic thing you did for southwest airlines or whatever these are all these little like tiny realities that exist inside the context of the sub-nature of reality. And the question, I guess, is how can we do this? And then he does the next slide and the red has gone slightly inside the purple but outside the gray. And he's like, he kind of points at that. That all tracks to me. That is what things are like.

He's like, how can we do this? Because if we can do that, then we get to have a new system of those subnatural laws and some natural economies because right now like the laws of economy here not working not working this is like george lucas trying to explain what the wills are yeah like i'm not sure what you mean george so then he spins out into uh his concept which is just a kind of like a like a bitcoin but it's for people who juggle huh um coin yeah he calls he calls it creative coin and he's like and here's my next slide and it's completely black he's like you can't see anything because i'm just going to explain it to you he's like you go to the store

you have your phone you find out this guy's good at juggling and you give him some creative coin and that's how and so basically his pitch was that it was by making meow wolf which we all love he was going to change the entire world's economy to meow wolves anyway uh two years later so if you can juggle you're you're more likely to become a multi-millionaire or was it your creative coin were you gonna tip like is it like if you're going on the street someone's like a bucket drummer you could tip them in crypto okay so i'm in a grocery store and i get notified that there's a bagger i think it gets like 50 cents an hour to bag groceries but they have like 75 star ratings on our system so i'm gonna go and check them out so i go over the line i check them out i like flick them a little bit of my creative

coin adam catches the creative point sees that i'm also part of that network starts juggling my apples and then he's like oh i only have a minute left and then they anyway so i said former ceo because like he was out very soon after i saw this thing. But I just found him to be fun, whimsical, and just a complete maniac. Yes, seemingly not a nefarious person, but just a guy with some very strange ideas. About redoing the world's economy to make it all Meow Wolves. A man who doesn't use a period when talking.

Yeah. Just a run-out sentence. Why do we need those? What if we got rid of those? What if sentences could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on? You say former CEO, not part of MailOff anymore, maybe advises or something, but that's not his day-to-day.

And I started wondering, what has this guy done since? What has he gone on to do? Because he wanted to focus on other endeavors. And I discovered that the other endeavor that he is now focused on is a supplement that boosts creativity. Wow, what? Sounds like a

real thing. Sounds non-scammy to me. It is called the imagination pill. Oh, man. What if all it took was just an imagination pill? We'd all be rich in creative coin. That is what Michael Jackson was taking. Let's be honest.

I'm sorry. That's what Conrad Murray was giving him? That is what Conrad Murray was describing to Michael Jackson. Doctor, more imagination pills, please. You can't handle anymore, son. You can't. Each bottle is only $60. All you need to do is take five a day.

Well, how many is in the bottle, though? I guess, well, I don't know it's oh wait it's a month supply so 30 times five so it's the heaviest bottle you've ever felt 150 pills what are the what are the do you have the chemical makeup of these pills oh you know it's fucking vitamin b and ginseng it's everything that's in all the scam pills. It's sub-reality. It's the thing that it's called something, it's called like mean pills on Alex Jones and it's called like lovely pills on

Gwyneth Paltrow's group. And then it's imagination pills. It's just the same. It's like B vitamins basically. And good boy pills. Coming soon to our store. The most special get. They're under your chairs right now. We have Browby

lucy there uh thanks a hand for melissa thank you thank you so much for coming in melissa incredible okay this is another uh eva special uh um but but it seems like some people are aware of this guy and maybe have done his las vegas attraction zach bagan's haunted museum yes um some some fans sure yes good idea um i'm gonna have to learn they're not gonna go to a haunted museum well yes that's the there's these two oh i'm a coward um yeah well look there was already because when we were here uh last year and we went to kablip together the whole group then went to zach bagan's haunted museum and a couple of things happened i was looking at a waiver that was the scariest waiver with the scariest fonts in a waiver i've ever seen so some of it was being cowardly yes but also we just done our new york

show and i was like hmm thing that says that they're not responsible if i die or a nap oh perhaps the nap thinking like jace i put my jason cap on i don't regret my choice but i'm gonna have to catch up about zach bagans uh if if we do it um what what can you tell us about about zach and the haunted okay he's a travel show host he's got a he bought one of the manson houses he he bought the house in vegas um and says it's haunted because according to the tour it scared tracy lord's brother but But not Tracy Lord. She's unshakable. She got a lot of scary texts from her brother who, yeah, you get to read the text between her and her brother as part of the museum.

Ooh, texts about something scary. Nice. I just have a very specific thing about Zach Bagans I want to share. When I went on this tour, about an hour into the tour, they took us into a room where they had a part of the engine of the car that killed James Dean. And the car was called the little bastard. And they were going to reveal the little bastard. And before they did, they showed us a documentary of like clips of people talking about how dangerous this car was. It was cursed. Everyone who rode in it, even it killed james dean was hurt in some way anyway one of the talking heads in that documentary was my maternal grandfather bill pollack passed away a few years ago but he was a race car driver and he was like yes this car was definitely

haunted and then he vanished and uh i was did you know that clip was coming i'd never seen that clip before and i did not know that clip was coming and i was also like with a bunch of like friends of ours who didn't know that was my grandfather so i just quietly went that's my grandfather and then he was gone so after i got home i i emailed and I was like, hey, your museum amazingly has this clip of my deceased grandfather that I've never seen before. Can you let me know? We'd love to have it, like know where it's from. And they emailed me back, Eva, I'm not sure who created that video. Zach just had it done.

And then I sent a follow-up email going, okay um and they just never responded after that so he's also like holding my family member of mine kind of hostage in the haunted museum you're just one of my trinkets now he might have access to like a longer form interview that's why i was asking right but they're just like no so anyway isn't some footage cut out of longer footage not in this case don't ask that question also That's why I was asking. Right, right. But they were just like, no. So anyway, Zach's making... Isn't some footage cut out of longer footage? Not in this case. Don't ask that question.

Also, him saying, like, the car was haunted. It seems like you might have been like, I won't say the car was haunted. I'm a reasonable man. We got it. We got it. Snip it down. We'll cut around him saying it's not haunted.

Got it. With editing, we can make anything work. Wow. That's weird. There's crazy stuff in that museum, Dr. Kevorkian's death van. They play the music that he composed that people would listen to as they died in the van. He made his own music. It's like pan flute music.

It's like... Dr. Kevorkian played the pan flute? He made music. He was like Peter Pan? The Kevorkian music is on YouTube, guys. Look it up. I don't know anything about that. It makes you think a lot of weird thoughts about Kevorkian

you've never thought before. Wow. Is it better than that McGrath album? Are you going to make a Kevorkian album? Like a tribute album? Maybe I do a couple of Kevorkian songs. Mike the Musical Chameleon. One day he's McGruff, one day he's Jack Kevorkian.

Hey, Mike, just checking in. How's your Kevorkian album? I'm working on it! Don't question me! I didn't mean anything by that. I'm sorry! I know what you meant you keep asking me questions like that maybe i'll have you sit in a van for a little while huh

oh he's threatening me with a van again gosh i'm learning a lot tonight uh um that's that baggins i think uh uh let let's see who else would be excited to come up and uh spin the we got a hand right there sir come on up may up. May I head to the left, it seems like. Does anybody live in South America? Did anybody come from South America? South America. We don't know the way to Alaska. Antarctica.

Were you on a space shuttle until this show happened? Does anyone have a parallel dimension? Does anyone? I'd have to give that person two cigarettes. Yeah, if you worked space time to get here uh hello sir welcome oh my god excellent shirt lost island theme park is that a real place is that a place yes it's a theme park in iowa it goes way harder than it needs to there's like 20 walk around face characters wow and there were maybe 50 people in the park it's insane oh that's like a perfect scenario for us eva we texted about this once because you're like i'm gonna be

near there later in the fall what what what do you think should i go do you think it's worth it and i said uh eva closes for the season this weekend oh yeah okay sounds good uh seems like we should coordinate seems like we should coordinate. Seems like we should try to do it. What's your name? Where are you from? Dick. I drove here from New York.

Oh, my God. What in the world? This is nuts, the degree that people are, and drove. Oh, my gosh. And car made it. Everything's good. Great. All right.

Hell, yeah, brother. And luckily, there's no way to not get them, except maybe if you knock the wheel over. There's no wrong answer on the wheel, but let's go ahead and give it a spin. Let's see where we land. Oh, boy. Clickety-clack. Clickety-clack. I'm so nervous.

People really like your spin, I think. I'm nervous. People especially like your spin. It's a long one. And click. And James Dolan. Yes! You picked the one we've been dying to have.

Boy, fantastic. Fantastic spin. You know what? You might as well. You'll go for two. Do two if you want to. Do two if you want have. Boy, fantastic. Fantastic spin. You know what? You might as well. Go for two. Do two if you want to. Do two if you want to. Be careful stepping down. So great to meet you. And thank you for getting to

the one we've been really waiting to get into. Do we know who James Dolan is and why we're talking about him tonight? Sphere! Sphere! him tonight? Sphere! Sphere! Sphere!

Sphere! Sphere! Sphere! Sphere! Sphere! Sphere! Oh, yes. He is the man.

We are all so sphere-amped right now. He's the man behind the sphere, which if you don't know it is the new gigantic insane venue uh concert venue that is coming to las vegas i was here last night scott can you you asked me what i was up to last thing because scott wasn't here and what did i tell you i was going to do uh drive around find a white castle and look at the sphere and And that's what I fucking did. Wow. Yeah. You had texted us

like within the last few weeks, I'm sphere-pilled. I am. I'm sphere-pilled. I know everything about it. Mike is sphere-pilled and especially now that he's seen it. If you don't know,

mom and dad, this is, you're like, a building? What could be so cool about a building? I've seen buildings before. This has projections on the outside of it that are so bonkers. And it sounded bonkers before it got built, and now what we've seen is so much more bonkers than we could have imagined. What was it like in person what's it like i haven't driven by it yet it was overwhelming uh it didn't get to i wanted to

see the big eye but it didn't turn into the big it's a lot of uh abstract uh designs and kind of just like crazy trippy screen effects and light shows screensaver shit yeah yeah the world's biggest screensaver um it makes it i like when it is a big basketball the bag basketball is awesome that might be my favorite yeah i think i'm gonna weigh in and say that i don't like when it's a big eye i'm weirded out by the big eye the entire building becomes just like the brightest screen you've ever seen in your life should i put we have a picture oh yeah do we have it yeah yeah oh the eye oh yes wait um this is the eye and and the context for this jason you talked about this in an episode i really direct this to my dad because you're looking at the wind golf club as somebody pointed out on twitter uh one of

the most expensive public or publicly accessible golf courses in America, you pay north of $600 for one round at this place. And now your view is the side of the biggest human eyeball in human history. That's what we call a value-added proposition. I like the eye. Okay. And I think it's because of how big it is. If it was smaller, I would say the eye is gross. But the sheer size of the eye, I have to like it.

Do you? Me? Yes, I do. I'm not saying one does. I have to like it. Do you? Me? Yes, I do. I'm not saying one does. I do have to enjoy the I. Real quick, can we ask, who enjoys the I? It's not universal.

It's not universal, so maybe I'm in a minority here, but that's okay. Who doesn't like the I? Wow. I hear some boo. Who doesn't like the eye? Wow. Here's a boo. Are you booing the eye? He's booing the eye. I'm going to stand up and show you my problem. If we're in the front,

okay. If we're in the back, neutral, it's just skin. I don't know how I feel about just seeing a big block of skin. But it's not so bad. It just looks like a tan design. I don't know how I feel about just seeing a big block of skin. But it's not so bad. It just looks like a tan design. I don't know. There's like hair.

There's like kind of. What if. Yeah, the hairs are creepy. They're so big. Where's the eyebrow? I don't know. It's been shaved, I think. In space, I guess.

You shaved the eyebrow. You see like hints of hair above, I think. It's like stubble eyebrow. It's like, yeah. My problem is Squishy Town right here. It's just too big. I mean, that's bigger than, is that like a five-story building right there that is just pure eye squish? It weirds me out.

It really weirds me out. Here's what would make it better if it cried a little bit. You want to see the big eye cry? I would like it even more than I already do if it would cry like once every hour and it would actually pool like

water would pool under the big eye. You want to swim in the eye crying? You want to dance in the fountain of tears? Okay, we have to all agree that we would love to swim in the big eye you want to swim in the eye crying you want to dance in the fountain okay we have to all agree that we would love to swim in the big eyes tears you want it to be like god crying at man's folly at like the hubris of like what how has thou done if what you're saying is that i worship the sphere as my personal god you are correct does the sphere i have astigmatism it it can if you program it okay that's one of the options yeah yeah no they can flip that on and off

uh um i mean that'd be at the direction i think of james dolan yes ultimately and uh so james dolan the guy who this might be the biggest guy in Las Vegas currently in the in America currently. James Dolan, if you don't know, well, a man with humble beginnings. He became CEO of the company Cablevision. He worked his way all the way up from being just the lowly son of the owner and somehow managed to climb to the top of the cable vision ladder so that's early hbo is what they so it's you know original hbo money and now he owns madison square garden which means he's responsible for the knicks and the islanders and radio city music hall uh the rockets he's the guy who and the Islanders and Radio City Music Hall, the Rockettes.

He's the guy who made the Rockettes perform at Trump's inauguration. And there was something where they said, like, he said, like, we got to, you know, we got to listen to everybody right now. And a Rockette said, you're asking us to tolerate intolerance. And he was like yeah pretty much yes yes that sounds right uh um he also runs amc right now uh which you might know as being one of the only cable entities without a good streaming plan there's no idea what they're doing uh uh uh they um they recently fired 20 of their employees massive layoffs at amc partially i think because uh the sphere costs a lot of money he has been routing money from all these other businesses into the sphere to the point oh good i was gonna say it's like disneyland

paris yeah yeah yeah we we lost all the great stuff at disneyland because of the money problems the sphere. I was going to say it's like Disneyland Paris. Yeah, yeah. We lost all the great stuff at Disneyland because of the money problems of Disneyland Paris. Except the opposite because it's all going to build the greatest thing that ever was. Yes, but it's good this time. Yeah, yeah. It's Disneyland Paris but a hundred times better.

I don't care if the Knicks suck as long as I get to see the fucking Octone Baby album front to back. Would you give up like a Walking Dead spinoff for the tears? Yes. They could never make a show again. Who needs shows? I don't care. We need spheres.

We need more spheres. Of course, in Burbank, we have a half sphere. We have a little sphere. Yeah, a little where they're testing the technology and filming stuff. I drive by it. I go to that post office. I go to that Del Taco, and I drive by, and I know magic is happening in there. Just let Mike in.

Let Mike into the little sphere. We drove by at 5.30 this morning to get to the airport. And magic was happening inside. Double sphere day. Yeah, yeah. That's the airport. And magic was happening inside. Double sphere day. Yeah, yeah. That's beautiful. So you're going, Mike. Yes.

You'll be back here in October to see U2. That's right. And we'll cover all of your sphere exploits. Yes, sphere month, I'll call it. Many different aspects. Take a seat halloween yeah by the way no one cast the fright this year out no haunted mansion episode push to next year irrelevant who needs it we have spheres now um you leave your family it's uh who needs any of that i have a sphere in my life mansion it's big eye it's calledunted Mansion, it's Big Eye.

It's called Big Eye, and it's just about the big eye outside. Hey, come on. It's the year of the gaunt man and the gaunt dog. Come on. Oh, for the Haunted Mansion. For the Haunted Mansion, yeah. I don't know if we'll get there, honestly. That might be pushing it.

That's the next thing that we get to. Yeah, but we might have so much to do when we're on that decline. The decline is going to take up a lot of time to talk about it because there's a lot of stuff. A decline, you're going back, yeah. There's a lot of stuff that we need to talk about. Oh, you guys didn't see the trees. See, to me, that part of the ride is

five seconds long, but I guess a lot of the time. You change your whole perspective on the ride in that moment. You don't know when you're looking back? Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's going to take a long time. Oh, yeah.

That's going to take a long time. Yeah. Because you've got to talk about looking back and then when it ends and then you're not looking back anymore. Especially when we all start taking these imagination pills. Well, it's really going to make us think. Get me enough imagination pills. Yeah.

I'll do the incline episode for five hours. The incline. Homecast of Ride Haunted Mansion. The incline episode. five hours the inc homecast of right horn of mansion the incline episode that's what it is um but you're you're excited about the sphere and if if i think i was too i think i was too but the more that i've learned about the owner james dolan the more that i'm just doubting his ability to pull this off first of all incredible financial uh problems of this thing he's had to split things off into different companies like now it's here's msg over here and now here's sphere entertainment he's just being smart with his money this is what business

people do who are smarter than all of us come on uh uh he um i would say that his track record running the knicks has been spotty um besides the questionable uh quality of the team in his time running it there has also been a lot of things like using facial recognition to kick people out of madison square garden who said bad things about him yeah let's talk about this for a second there is um he is famous for kicking people out for the slightest bit of teasing like there's footage online of him like walking, you know, on the court, like exiting. And someone goes, so the team like that's it. And he goes, what did you say? And I go, sell the team.

And he goes, OK, Justin, Justin, get him out of here. Justin, get him out of here. And, like, kicked him out because I feel like if you own a professional sports team, you hear sell the team all the time. I feel like that's part of the arrangement. He also kicked out a fan for wearing a shirt that said Bandolin in a Knicks logo. Fine. Can I? Okay, hold on.

Yeah. Yeah. By doing this segment of this podcast am i going to be banned from the sphere i mean because let's cut the live stream right now i cannot this is my question if someone walks around that area with a shirt that says, get the sphere out of here. Are they like a dead man? If he hears what you're saying, I'm not going to get to see Bono in a little devil's outfit saying, ultraviolet, light my way. I need to see that with a big screen.

We're going to cut. This is not going to. By the way, this is going to be the only time you hear this. I'm cutting this out of the broadcast. It's going out live right now. He's got vocal recognition software. Oh, no. He's already heard it. He can hear when anyone

talks about him. Oh, I'm going to walk up to the sphere and the eye's going to close on me. Oh, it was sharp. It cut me in half. I didn't even get to see the original Darren Aronofsky movie they're making

for the sphere. This sucks. That costs $50 to go to. This is also part of the question is like, okay, you two plays Incredible Start, then what? They haven't said one thing and it has to be a band that

has the money to make a bunch of fucking movies that are in like 19 000k whatever resolution it takes for videos broadcastable at the sphere yeah um i so i don't know um so yeah you're you're done you're not going episode canceled halloween's back on um when uh uh he uh uh people heard that he was using facial recognition to kick people out of the garden, the state liquor authority said, uh, Hey, you know, if somewhere that serves liquor needs to be able to serve everyone, you can't just remove people that you don't like.

So we're going to look into revoking your liquor license. No more liquor at Madison square garden. He was asked about this on live television and he said, that's fine. I don liquor at Madison Square Garden. He was asked about this on live television and he said, that's fine. I don't like to drink anyway. You don't?

You, because you don't. You're, how much money does that place make every single game? A lot, a lot,

but I think he's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just want to say that. But there's a moral victory wherever my camera is i got your back buddy right there i think there's a camera right there got you michael carlson says you're right um i'm gonna keep putting you to the test on what you're going to sign off on and support James on. I'm ready. Because then what happened is the, well, you know, that threat of saying, hey, go ahead, take it away.

That didn't successfully get the Liquor Authority off his tail. So he tailed the Liquor Authority. He had a private investigator follow somebody from the Liquor Authority home. Yeah, good, good, yeah. Got to keep an eye out, I Yeah, good, good, yeah. Got to keep an eye out, I guess. Good, good, yeah. Once the guy was found, the private investigator, he had a knife. He did have a knife. He sent a man with a knife to follow a liquor man around.

Okay, yeah, people have knives. It might not have been four to that. You maybe just had, you know. We don't know. Yeah, yeah. I wasn't there. Cut up some chicken later. I wasn't there.

So anyways, but I'd say that the biggest thing I'm going to throw at you that you're going to have to support now, I guess, is James Dolan's music. You were looking for a band to play The Sphere. I think you found it. We got one in-house. We don't even need to hire anybody. Look, it's just about getting through Bono and The Edge so we can get to the real shit.

James Dolan's band, J.D. and the Straight Shot. I feel like, Jason, I think you might have mentioned this band before and i i foolishly did not go uh look into this immediately because as soon as you do i mean we were texting about this eva they're basically they're kind of like a sort of country fried roots rock band they made seven albums yeah yeah very, like, I would say authentic is the word I would describe. Seven albums. You know, and, well, let's go here. Let's get a taste of their music.

We have a clip. Is it this one right here? This one? Let's do, yes, yeah, yeah, the live track. Okay, yeah. This is the song Redemption Train. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Oh, man. Oh, yeah. Oh, man. You can barely see. Pain and confusion weighing down on me. One step ahead, two steps behind. I do my best, no peace can I find. Now I'm praying for salvation. Praying for salvation. Leading for more time. Leading for more time. And praying for salvation. Praying for salvation. Leading for more time.

Leading for more time. And begging for forgiveness. Begging for forgiveness. Redemption train, come and carry me home. Sun down. Yeah. Yeah, give it up. Give it up.

Straight shot fans. I think the mix was a little off. It just wasn't, yeah. Somebody behind the scenes made a couple errors. Did you like James Dolan's choice of staring at the lyrics on the ground while he sang the song? I was trying to figure out what his eyeline was. Yeah, the ground, yeah.

Jason's got his lyrics right here. Yeah, I got it. So that's okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I guess I do too. I guess he's one of us. Yeah. Well, I do have Redemption song right here.

Go ahead. Pray for salvation. Eva, we were talking about a song. He did a song that was kind of like... Like you better pray. Yeah. You better find you a church. We have found a church.

Better find it. He also did kind of like a both sides anthem. The anthem we need right now. Like, why can't we all just, hey, everybody's fussing and feuding. No more protests, please, of any kind. They're all the same. Just stop doing them all. But I'd say the most notables well i mean look

this guy does he does songs for the for the working man just for maybe i don't yeah i don't get it because i'm like you know i'm not out there on the on the rails yeah you're not working with my hands you're a madison avenue liberal that's what I would always say about you, Scott. That's the way, yeah. James and I are more kind of guys from, you know, salt to the earth. Absolutely. Well, that's the kind of stuff he writes about. It's just, you know,

it's like, you know, working hard, working up a sweat and trying to keep warm under a fire. And, you know, working hard, working up a sweat and trying to keep warm under a fire. And you know, what in heck fire does a feller do when there's many, many sexual assault allegations against one of your best friends, Harvey Weinstein? Credit to our pal Brad Evans for discovering this song and alerting me to it.

Can you please play the next song this is his take on his buddy Harvey Weinstein we were friends we were friends talked for hours without about his latest story how to deal with fame

and glory all the girls who adored him catered to his every will nothing he could lose all he need to do was chew i should have known i should have known i should have thrown myself across his tracks stopped him from these violent attacks i should have known we believed and didn't see through the lies he told us all led him to his endless fall i should have known i should have i hope that's it i really hope that's it. Like a perspective no one can relate to. That you didn't stop your super successful friend from sexually assaulting thousands of women.

Look, we talked for many hours, but then I would get out of there before the girls arrived. Honestly, I didn't even know what his dating deal was. I've known him for 30 years, but we only had small talk in those times. Mostly business stuff, Hollywood things and whatnot. Personal affairs off the table.

I honestly didn't care. I'm excited to project this lyric video on the sphere oh my god I uh yeah that's I was really excited to force an audience to see that I it's really because once it's in your brain it's it's stuck in there Yeah, I was really excited to force an audience to see that. It's really, because once it's in your brain, it's stuck in there. I'm just glad he weighed in. Yeah.

Because he had to, you know. What's Dolan got to say about this? When's he going to make a statement? By the way, was this made on iMovie 2007? What is this lyrics video? Is this a fan film? Did I make this? No, I didn't make this. He went through, he asked 100 editors to make cool lyric videos

and they all said absolutely not. Also funny because several months before he put out this song, he was sued by seven women and the grounds of the lawsuit was that he knew that he did know. Scott, did you hear the song, though?

He didn't know. He didn't know. He should have. He would have thrown himself on the tracks if he did. He didn't know. He said it in a song. And across his tracks, would have gone to his house, jumped on the ground, and hope he tripped.

No one's ever lied in a song. It's impossible. It's a pure expression. Well, so I have my sphere concerns, I would say. But I don't know. Maybe JD can get down to business, make it right. See, I don't know. There's many options for what happens with the sphere.

It fails. It fails after two years. It fails after three years. It could last. We don't know. We just don't know. Four years. It could be four.

Yes. We don't know. Let me throw one out. Four and a half. It could be four and a half. Just spitballing. Real quick before we move on. What would be your dream show in the sphere?

And I'm being sincere at this point. No funny stuff for me. What is a musical act? What is a sports show? What is a surf show that you would want? A sports show. Yeah, well, I'd say a sports show then. I say sports show because the only sport I like is professional wrestling,

which is a show. Which WWE is supposedly talking to them about doing an event there. Well, that could be good. That's good. Yeah. I mean, I think, like, it's just so big. Can we do, let's get the Knicks in there, but let's put them on wires, too.

Oh, wow. They've got to fly up 300 feet in the air and the projections, they have to hit a hoop 300 feet in the air with just like nightmarish seizure causing projections spinning around and around what they put spider in in Avatar Way of Water. Got it.

They have to play in those. Can you play if you can't play in a giant spider machine it's uh uh right now in las vegas there's a three-day slam ball event happening uh of course we all know uh uh and we all know i know the owner of slam ball uh which is true here he goes well on a future las vegas episode i bring it up as well but i should have known the owner of slam ball instead of rv wine what you're what you're talking about is more extreme though than slam ball because they get they get air on slam ball which is trampoline basketball um but what you're talking about is like what would you even call it wire ball spider ball spider ball wow that's cool yeah yeah yeah because they're on wires that are like

webs and it's like of course the famous spider machine a reference everybody understood when i said it and understand again that's great eva how many more references can i make to the spider machine eva what would you want to see in the sphere if you could race through new york starting on the biggest screen possible. It's already filmed. You can just do it. Yeah, good point. Probably some night music. Some of your medieval night music.

Some night music, yeah. I thought you meant the Sondheim musical. Oh, yeah. Well, that's a good choice. Sondheim at the Sphere. Seven of the Clowns. I'm just hung up on even if the Sphere. Seven of the Clowns. I'm just hung up on, like, even if the Sphere, like, crashes and burns. Literally. He's got this musical talent that, you know, he did so much.

He sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads to get this musical talent. So you're not answering my question? Oh, there's,'s like a laser show at dollywood right now i think that would be okay really good in the giant sphere right but i know but lasers might be too powerful in the sphere they bounce around like a billion times started people in the eye be careful so it's gonna so they're like dolan will like get really morose about what he's done the power that he's just gonna be looking like cillian murphy and oppenheimer like oh no what have i done there will be a christopher nolan movie about the sphere eventually

i hope so uh-huh uh-huh um okay now this is the point where we should have somebody up to spin but i think we might have to uh uh you know put our uh uh hand on the scales tip the scales a little bit i think i don't want too much time to pass before we go to the mystery wedge um i click it over to the mystery wedge because uh i just really wanted to to pump things up to build the mystery and the anticipation for somebody who we could not be in Las Vegas and not talk about. And that is the great David Copperfield. I mean, we're so excited. We gotta talk about...

There he is. There's the man. I mean, okay, so that's the question. How many people while you're in town are seeing the david copperfield show or have already done it oh my god geez pretty good i mean a perfect double header with us um but it's a show that we are obviously very passionate about all four of us have seen it and enjoyed it very much and for the the uninitiated for mom and dad uh you think that you're getting a David Copperfield magic show, but there is a turn that happens where suddenly there is an incredible

extraterrestrial surprise. And it's just one of the finest pieces of theater that you can see anywhere in the world. And you got to see it here. And I think it resonates probably with us, especially kind of for personal reasons. Could I get that lighting cue, please? You know, Mike, Jason, and I, we never knew our fathers. They were military men, all stationed on the same base, in fact.

And, uh, that's why we all know each other. We all are, all our dads worked together, uh, uh, on a military base. A, uh, I don't know why I started getting a lot of echo here. Uh, um, it's quite, it's kind of cool. It kind of sets the stage. Um, we, uh, uh, my, our fathers all worked together in a, in a special place, a mysterious place called Roswell. And, uh, we never got to know our fathers very well.

We never got to tell them that we loved them. We were all busy pursuing our dream of being the biggest podcasters in the world. A dream that we obviously achieved. But in all that time, yes, the biggest. Yes, indeed. But we never got to tell our fathers that we loved them. And it's a regret that we live with all the biggest. Yes, indeed. But we never got to tell our fathers that we love them, and it's a regret that we live with all the time. However, our fathers did send us a special box.

Can we reveal the box? Wow, look at that. And so this is all we have to remember our fathers by. The trouble is we opened it. We opened it earlier today, and if you turn to the other side, nothing inside. Nothing inside the box. It was then that we opened another thing that our fathers sent us from the past. That was a letter.

A letter that explained that something from the past could appear in the box as long as everybody that we're doing it in front of looks to the back of the room right now look over there look over there really fast look keep looking keep looking wizard already okay okay okay and you can look back now wow wait a minute i think that there may be something now in the box my god okay let's see well oh mike do you have a handle on it? Oh, my. What's in the box? Look in the box. What's in the box? What's in the box? Wow.

Oh. Who is this? Oh. Mike, wow. Mike, you okay? Did you hurt your back or something? Yeah, I just hurt my back for a second. I'm just going to lean over for a while. Okay, sure. Oh, no, sounds good. Whatever makes you comfortable. Oh, my God.

Oh, hey. Oh, it's good to be here. Wow, how about a hand for our little friend? Who is this? What's your name, sir? My name is Blue 32. Wow. Wow. You're the... Wait, so the same one, then?

The same one from the Copperfield show? Yeah, I'm the same one, but I also knew your dads. Wow. Wow. Yeah. You know, so many dads across the 21st century entertainment space. Dads love me. Dads are big fans of mine.

I mean, why dads specifically? Is it just something you have in common with a dad's sensibility? I'm a guy's guy. What can I say? Despite being an alien, you're a guy's guy in the way that an earthling would be a guy's guy? Yeah, I like to kick back and enjoy a cold root beer. Oh, wow. Yeah, crack, cold one.

Yeah. You know what? I can actually smell that a little bit right now. Yeah. I farted. That's part of the real show, in case you didn't know. Wow. Wow.

Jeez. That's part of the real show, in case you didn't know. Wow. Wow. Geez. Well, I mean, you're here with us tonight now, I guess. Are you okay to be on Earth? Are you just going to be the fourth co-host now? What's the deal? Yeah, I'm cool to be on Earth. I love Earth. I'm here to spread a very simple message.

Oh, what is it? Love, Jason. Wow. Love could... Thank you. Thank you. Love could fix all the problems on Earth if you'd only listen.

But you didn't. You shunned me. Wait, who didn't, though? You made fun of me. Scott, I'm talking. Okay. You shunned me. You made fun of me.

We shunned you? Yeah. Who shunned you? Everyone. And now because of that, I dying you're dying yeah i mean okay look i got i want to focus on that i guess i should like i i should focus on that part of it and not but like you're saying they they shunned you i think they just met you every one of them the one from arkansas oh no one from alaska the The New York guy that was driving in a car. Minutes ago,

you said you were fine. Now you're dying. The dying thing happened in real time. I realized in the moment I was dying. You just you just started feeling it. Yeah. You know, when you feel like you're dying. That's what I felt. Because you let me down, Jason. What did I do? Your dad treated me so well when we were stationed together at Area 51. In Roswell? At Roswell, yeah.

Okay. We used to sing the old ones together. Oh, like William Frawley. Yeah. He was stationed there, too. You're the one, you taught him the songs that Jason holds so dear? I taught Jason's dad how to sing the old ones. You taught my dad goodnight ladies?

We sang goodnight ladies, yeah. And he said, one day day i'm gonna have a son that's not gonna let you down and he was wrong well i'm sorry i'm trying my best yeah that's what they all say i have a time stone you guys you do yeah okay oh okay a time stone that seems significant. You do? Yeah. Okay. Oh, okay. A time stone. That seems significant. Oh, yeah.

Thanks. He really is dying. It's the first thing that your eyes start flopping over. And then you go, oh, wow. I'm just trying to show everyone what's going on. Yeah, yeah. My eyes are flopping over. How realistic does this look up close?

It's incredible. It's like you're at the sphere. What do you think of the sphere? I think James Dolan's a great guy. You too, huh? The only man on earth who showed me love was James Dolan. He wrote a song about me.

About you? Yeah. What did you do? It's called The Timestone Blues. Do you want to sing us any of The Timestone Blues? It's like... I got the blues. The Timestone Blues.

And those are mostly the lyrics. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It sounds like the other Dolan songs. What is the times... The Time Stone Blues. And those are mostly the lyrics. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It sounds like the other Dolan songs. What is the significance of the Time Stone for us here tonight? Do we need to be worried about it? Yes. You need to be worried, Scott.

The Time Stone is something that I use to come back in time. I'm from a different planet, but I also came back in time okay yes both at the same time yeah time travel and interplanetary travel this makes as much sense as the david copperfield show thus far no no yes uh consistent with um so you're running out of time and you're dying so is is it then about do we need to save your life now or get you back to a time where you'll be safe can you just give us anything any instructions about how we can help yes to all of that yes to all of it okay okay i'm trying to keep it straight in my head this is like a vince cad lubic lecture okay so we are we need to both we need to get you back to your planet we and we need to

find a way to make you not die here tonight and most importantly everyone here needs to make the symbol and accept that love is the element that is missing from the earth okay remember the symbol from the show? Yes, kind of. Somebody's making it out there. The people who've seen it recently. Let's all learn from him in the audience. How does it work?

Okay, yes. You put your fingers together. You put them together in a... Okay, okay. So everybody... It's Diamond Dallas Page's diamond cutter symbol if you know professional wrestling. It's pretty...

All right, yes. Everyone's doing it. Roll up your Illuminati signs. This is incredible. Everyone's doing it except for Jason, who is letting me down again. I just have a mic. Okay, fine.

I wasn't doing it because I had to take a picture because I've never felt more like a cult leader. The podcaster ride is a lot like a cult, if you think about it. So now, okay, everyone has the love up. Wow, yeah. Okay, love up. Okay, okay.

So that's giving you some energy. Okay. Oh, wait. Am I dying? Oh. You chose Jason's lap to die in. Oh, wait. Oh, but I feel a a difference the symbols from the audience

hey blue really quick do they need to keep doing it or can they put their hands down they need to keep doing it hands up hands up okay okay and they need to for another five to ten minutes okay oh and j Jason needs to sing Pretty Baby while this happens. Okay, okay. And then I'll be saved and everything will be okay. I don't know Pretty Baby.

Just make up a song that sounds like it could be Pretty Baby. I don't think he knows either. Pretty Baby. Oh, yeah! I'm re-energized! Wow! Wow! Yay! Thank you.

I have to get back now to see Lucy. Lucy? Lucy. What's Lucy? She's my sister, but I'm also married to her. Oh. Blue, is that something that's common on your planet, or is that weird there, too? It's weird that, like, is that weird there, too?

It's weird there, too. It's weird there, too. Okay, okay. Do we bid goodbye to you for now? Do we give you an upset? Yeah, bye. Wow, wow. Bye.

Blue 32. Oh, his head fell off. Oh, wow. Oh, no. Wait a minute. He's just Shrek. He was a Shrek. Shrek.

Hey, Shrek. Shrek? Shrek. This MF said Shrek. He was a Shrek. Shrek. Shrek. Shrek. This MF say Shrek. Stitch is not Shrek. Stitch is not Shrek. Ohana means family, Scott. There's only one way for me to learn.

Will the entire audience please say to me, Stitch is not Shrek. Stitch is not Shrek. All right. Thank you. I think I got it. I think I got it. I think I got it. Smoke every one of those cigarettes as your penance. Until you learn, yo.

Until you learn, you are allowed. If I smoke enough of these and take enough imagination pills, I think I'll be able to keep them straight. Wow. How about a hand for Blue? Oh, my gosh. Wow. Great to them straight. Wow. How about a hand for Blue? Oh, my gosh. Wow. Great to see him.

Yeah. I want to make sure that we, again, I might have to, like, put our hands on the scale and make sure that we get a little bit of one that I know is very important to everybody here. Tick, tick. Liberace. Liberace. Got to make sure we have our Liberace time. Now, let me say this.

I don't think Liberace is a guy. I don't think that's the correct classification. But Liberace has guys around now keeping up the legacy. Is that a fair assessment? Yeah, he unlocks guys. Yeah. Okay, so real quick so real leads to sub guys yes i've talked about this on a previous podcast but uh several years ago i came to las

vegas i signed up for a tour that i saw in las vegas magazine where you could do a tour of liberace's collection inside michael jackson's basement it was called the thriller villa and it was like the Liberace Foundation had set up this thing. So a guy came and picked you up, took you to the house that Michael Jackson fled to after the allegations, which he liked because it was full of tunnels. So he, it was a house where he could just like travel through tunnels and the tunnels were full of Liberace's clothes. And so the guy showed us all the collection and then he took us to a room and brought out some like sushi from ralph's and champagne it was like 11 o'clock in the morning

and he's like what do you guys want to talk about and his name was jonathan warren he's the head we've got a we've got a picture of him let's see yeah yeah yeah yes let's learn about our modern liberace this guy yes jonathan warren so he not only is he the head of the liberace foundation Let's learn about our modern Liberace guys. This guy. Yes. Jonathan Warren. So not only is he the head of the Liberace Foundation and he runs these tours, he's also the consul to Monaco, which he told us about immediately when we were eating sushi with him. And then it was like him telling us just how easy it is to become the consul somewhere. You just have to know the right people.

So that's one guy who's very much in charge of the liberace uh like a lot of liberace stuff but just recently we found out about a second guy because there's a second foundation which is called the friends of liberace's mansion foundation yes which is run by a second guy named Martin Ravenhill. Here he is in a fancy bathtub with three little dogs. So Martin Ravenhill

bought the Liberace Mansion 10 years ago when it had been foreclosed upon and the bank owned it. He bought it for $500,000 and he spent 10 years ago when it was had been like foreclosed upon and the bank owned it he bought it for $500,000 and he spent 10 years restoring it and now you can do a private tour and it's a separate thing to do a private tour

where Martin Ravenhill takes you around the Liberace mansion so we did it today. We did it at 11 a.m. today. That's me and Mike with Martin Ravenhill, who fucking rules. We love Martin Ravenhill. We love him so much.

No, he was really, really cool. Like, just a really sweet dude who just has, like, made his life's work to restore this decrepit, weird mansion. And incredibly charming. I feel like when we're talking about these, when you picture somebody who owns a bunch of the Liberace stuff, and then you see a photo with three little dogs in a fancy bath, you start imagining Guy. Well, like a Dr. Evil cat situation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he is that you start imagining guy well like a dr evil like yes yeah yeah and he is a bald man i think i'm i think i'm jumping to conclusions here so i'm delighted to hear that he's he's a delightful man he's really cool he wrote a book uh about

being a good friend that was on display at the yes it's in the it's in like a little case uh i immediately started talking about liberace as shondell on the batman 60s show which he kind of knew about yes but he kept asking you questions about it he kept asking me questions as if i was the liberace expert which i by the way was very proud of i was like the weirdest thing about how he ended up buying this is really quick he told us the way he ended up buying the is really quick he told us the way he ended up buying the mansion is that he was in mexico for work and somebody texted him will you download will you pirate behind the candelabra so we can watch it but he wasn't able to so instead he

watched a trailer for behind the candelabra yes which rolled into which he didn't know anything about liberace this is 10 years ago and it rolled into a documentary about how the liberace mansion would had been foreclosed upon and so they were like who will save the liberace mansion yeah he did he's like and i decided to do it yeah so he moved to las vegas and just bought it no no previous interest or this was not a not been a lifelong thing he got liberace pilled from behind the candelabra like a lot of us from the trailer of behind the candelabra the story does not end with him watching the movie it ends with him seeing a youtube video that it linked to that got him

thinking i should buy this house yeah and then he just did it and he did it and then like i because we go in there and like it it is like got all this like you know op we go in there and, like, it is, like, got all this, like, you know, opulent stuff in there. And at first I was like, oh, a lot of this probably was hanging around. And he even said, like, oh, a lot of this had been sold. And I got it back. And I was like, yeah, but how much of that is, like, maybe some of this was still here. And then I looked on Zillow later from 10 years ago and it was completely empty. He has, like, obsessively reconstructed liberati's house from furniture and like vases

photos it's insane the thing we couldn't get over though is that he said there were just like a bunch of squatters living in the mansion when he bought it and it's like what was that situation like what was going on with the squatters living in liberati's mansion because there's paintings of him on the ceiling looking down. Yeah, I have. Let me, I have one. Oh, wait, shoot. It's right here. Yeah, that's what is like,

that's the bathroom ceiling. This is what the bathroom ceiling, this is not like a secret photo. This is online. You can find this. He had the, like the mural on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel painted on his bedroom

and that's been restored. And it was painted by Michelangelo's relative. A descendant of Michelangelo. Well, then it must be good. Only a blood relative can do it. There was no Liberant. I asked, I go, is there a secret Liberant up here anywhere? And he was like, no, no, it's just the Sistine Chapel.

But I was like, are you sure there's not like an Easter egg? But no. Anyway, the best guy of all time, Martin Ravenhill. like, are you sure there's not like an Easter egg? But no. Anyway, the best guy of all time, Martin Ravenhill. Oh my god, that's incredible. Cheers! Wow! But really quick. To Martin. Jonathan Warren is not Martin Ravenhill. And the Liberace Foundation

is not the Friends of the Liberace Mansion Foundation. And from the sound of it, they don't get along. They are not speaking. I was trying to find, because one of the things I want the most is a Liberace action figure, especially from the Batman. And I was like, do you know the guy who might have the likeness, like owns the likeness rights?

And he did not seem to have that information. But it might be the other guy. It might be, what's his name? I think you might have to have that information. But it might be the other guy. It might be, what's his name? I think you might have to go to Jonathan Warren, Dark Side, Martin Ravenhill. He did encourage me to do this. Wow! Which?

Mike at the piano. At a piano covered in rhinestones. Covered in rhinestones. This was not one of his real pianos. It was a new piano made to look like an old piano. It's a replica. Because I was hoping he was going to offer to let me play one of the real ones but it did not come i was not going to be rude and ask still a very powerful photo powerful energy every photo of me has power in your mickey flat brim wow i Today I've been dressed like the Steve Buscemi Hello Fellow Kids meme. And I think I've been pulling it off, quite frankly.

I think you have. It's working. Wow, they let a high school kid do a show? He did say we were young. He was like, you know, you're young. What do you know about Liberace? And I was like, thank you. We are, yeah. Yes, we're way too young to know about liberace and i was like thank you we are yeah yes we're very we're way too young to

know about liberace so i guess he is passing on to young generation oh well kind of weird younger people um well geez incredible i'm glad this was a a victorious trip yes um i mean and you i mean i hate to pit them against each other but it does seem like martin's uh women even though like uh jonathan gave you sushi yeah given points for that i mean they're both fascinating uh important people to have in las vegas and if they both have to exist or else the liberace will implode it's like the star uh dyad in Star Wars. Yes. It's Kylo Ren and Rey. What's interesting about

where he lives is it's just a street. It's not like, oh my gosh, it's giant mansions on the street. It's just like house, house, house, Liberace house. It's like very like I went to a McDonald's a minute away and got an iced coffee and then drove and parked in front of Liberace's

house. I recommend just looking at it from outside. There's like plaques and you can just drive. It's right by here. It's really cool from the street. It's so close. And at first I remember I was driving there this morning and I went, I am not prepared to go to Liberace's house today. But everything he made was very nice. How so?

What would you have had to have done it just felt overwhelming it's a legendary house but you didn't you didn't faint no i didn't no not like not like the minotaur situation where i got a panic attack before going into labrador's house you asked martin hey do you have a trash can in here to puke for your iced coffee i left the iced coffee cup. I left the iced coffee in the car. I don't want to be rude. You didn't get to put your coffee in the fanciest trash can ever made.

Thousand rhinestone trash can. No, I did not. Jeez. Well, incredible, guys. Do we have time for one more? I think we can fit another guy. Let's see. Any more big travelers here? We'll do an actual

spin. Oh, how do I choose? Who thinks they may really shake your hand around if you think you came from really far away? Even better if you're sitting on an aisle. That's true. Let's do this. Come on up,ile. Yeah, that's true. I have a gentleman in a white shirt here. Let's do this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on up, sir.

Fantastic. Let me move these cigarettes that are just weirdly at my crotch right now. Seven cigarettes. Hello, sir. What's your name? Where'd you come in from? David, and I'm from the land of Mike. I'm from Chicago. Wow, hey. Yay. Give it up for that.

Yeah. Is that catching on? Are they calling it that there? Everybody's calling it the land of Mike. The land of Mike. That's Fred. That's right. What else are you doing while you're in town? I flew in this morning, and I might take a red eye out tonight.

Really? Oh, my God. For this? For this? Wow. Wow. God bless. These people who feel the need to do other things, like have a meal or two.

We appreciate the PTR commitment. Really good to meet you. Thanks for coming up. Go ahead and give it a spin. Let's see. Who else? Who have we not landed on the guy's roulette wheel tonight? Count me our left.

Okay, okay. So let me, you want to give it one more, and if we don't, then we'll just let you tip it wherever you think it should go. Okay. Okay. So let me, uh, you want to give it one more and if we don't, then we'll just let you tip it wherever you think it should go. Let's see. Let's see. Yeah. I think we were all rooting for Steve. Win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, that seems like a great place to uh to wind it down uh um so steve winn uh um i mean very fond of him i think of some of the things well as you say some yeah he yeah he's credited as like changing it from just a gambling town to like an entertainment town like one of those guys yeah yes yeah no the the flash the panache you have to give it up

to steve win uh uh steve win worked his way up through the the ownership of uh of the golden nugget and he established in the golden nugget era that he is a person who would like to be on camera uh uh this is i i you know I'm not just somebody behind a desk. I want to represent my places in commercials. And we've alluded to this one, I think, many times. I know we're both big fans of the classic Golden Nugget commercial. Let's check this out together if you guys haven't seen this. Hi, I'm Steve Wynn,

and this is one of the beautiful suites in the Golden Nugget of Las Vegas, which, as everybody knows, is downtown. Nevertheless, you'd be amazed if you knew how many people think that this is uptown. Hi, Mr. Sinatra. I'm Steve Wynn. I run this place.

You see, I get enough towels. Towels? Towels? Towels? That's what the people down at the front desk say when jason calls in hey to ask for more towels see that i get enough towels you're like the chairman in that scenario yeah yeah yeah yeah podcasting's frank um i uh uh you know i think he developed kind of a, like, you know, he got the bug. He got the performing bug.

The Walt Disney bug. I mean, everybody in the wake of Walt, I think, probably was like, I'm the face of the company, and I'm also famous, and why not? Why wouldn't I do it? And if I am a guy who's on television a lot, then surely you can trust me and all of my deeds and actions as the years go by. Sure, yeah. Someone on TV wouldn't do something bad, right? Never. There's like a, I think a flair of theatricality to everything that Steve Wynn did.

And that includes, you know, the places that that he his inspiration for the hotels you know i mean the the the body of work was uh mirage and treasure island bellagio the wind the encore uh uh he did all these places in the mirage seems like we're really like uh cracked open for him and where it is it does start to get disneylandy and like and and theatery too and he he kind of describes some of the inspiration uh for the mirage in this clip and uh just keep on as this clip goes on uh keep an eye out for the uh who is conducting uh the interview i think i think he'll be of note yeah good yeah and then an idea came into my mind an image uh of Josh Logan, the director, doing South Pacific. And I heard Juanita Hall's voice singing, Bali, I is calling.

And there's too many orange filters. And I said to myself, well, suppose that what you see with your eyes is not what your brain tells you should be there. There he is. That's a good face. Wow. Is this his interview show, the Michael Eisner interview show? Yeah, yeah, that was from Conversations with Michael Eisner. That's the most tense smile I've ever seen. I should have known, I should have known.

Could we all just sit in silence for 10 seconds and look at his face? Yeah, seems good. Okay, a count in your head. I hear laughing. Do we have to start over? We have to start over, yeah. We have to start over! Oh, to start over, yeah. We have to start over.

Oh, Blue, what? You said counting your head, and you immediately started counting on your hands. Well, I was helping everyone in their head. Oh, okay. All right. I was doing it anyway. What did you get out of that? Did you notice anything you haven't seen before?

Yeah. Hmm. Well, clearly this needs to be the next thing projected on the sphere oh my god yeah yeah that would be so good uh uh this is great um this is already like 10 years old i bet right this interview could be yeah yeah uh well it's certainly not from the recent past because uh steve wins not uh doing too much around here anymore uh i uh you know i maybe one of the biggest me too's i would say just purely financial in terms of like power and amount of money is he like possibly the biggest person that was taken down uh there's a lot of metrics for me to run around in my head right now so i don't want to definitively

definitively say that but certainly up there yeah um but the uh you know more fun times before we knew these things we should have known should have just laughed at his funny ads uh should have suspected something not as trustworthy of a space as eisner um uh let's let's watch one that i definitely remember uh getting a lot of play at the time uh do you guys remember the ads where he was announcing both the win and the encore and was sitting up on top of the hotel um i want to show the second one of these this is this is the encore the the second one let's check this out hello i'm over here three years ago i stood over there introducing you to

win las vegas now i'm following it up the best way i know how this is encore wow and it zooms all the way out yeah yeah so it's like tom cruise mission impossible four steve win on co-commercial uh- Code Commercial. He did it first too. He saved Las Vegas. Tom Cruise saved the movies. Popcorn. Popcorn. Movies.

Shrek. Stitch. Shrek, Stitch. Shrek, Stitch. Jason. Cool ad, right? You might be wondering who put that amazing ad together. Who did that incredible helicopter shot? Can you play the next clip, please? Las Vegas developer Steve Wynn joined forces with famed director Brett Ratner.

One of the most amazing of the latest resort, Encore. Over there, introducing you to Wynn. Yep, yep, yep. I love that he's, like, doing the director fingers. Necessary. He's bringing Steve winn back to life has he given him the symbol of love he's giving him the symbol of love yeah well look we've uh can i say one more thing about him yes absolutely i don't want to talk about this

on the podcast but maybe we have. He spent maybe a million dollars at auction for a Maltese falcon that probably isn't real. What? According to the big New Yorker piece about all the Maltese falcons, he spent all this money at auction for a... And it was like, that's probably just fake, but he owns it. Did they say that after the auction or before way after it's like now there's experts trying to figure out which was the original and they're like it's definitely not that one oh wow yeah you have legal recourse in that in that situation i mean i don't know don't

tell him it's funny it is funny and i won't you're right i won't tell him. I mean, some guys need to get what they deserve. So he got tricked by a falcon. And earlier this week, the Nevada Gaming Board made him pay $10 million and made him agree to have no role in a casino besides customer. So that happened this week. Oh, he can play craps, though. Yeah, he can win it back. Yeah. play craps though yeah you can win it back yeah put it all on red what about sitting on one can he still sit on the question may not be yep yeah yeah yeah he can still get up there still

get brett making the director fingers yeah he can film as many as all the casinos that's how he gets back on top literally as he sits on each casino on the strip hi i'm steve winn the last time you saw me i was opening up to the encore now i'm legally banned from doing anything like that again so i'm just here to sit on the cosmopolitan and say, hello, take it away, Brett. Me too, guys, got to stay busy somehow. And then you cut to like Michael Eisner on the other side of the street

sitting on the different... Making the face. Yeah. But far away because the helicopter pans out. Eva, it's been a wonderful menagerie of guys um i don't know any any closing observations do we miss anybody um i we missed elon but look we all the elon's digging pointless tunnels under the city uh uh don't Go to the... Oh, wait, Jason had something about the Pointless Tunnels. Yeah, so the Vegas Loop, the tunnels, recently got approved for a giant expansion. And the mayor of Los Angeles, Mayor Carolyn Goodman...

Oh, Vegas? You said Los Angeles. Oh, Las Vegas, excuse me. Las Vegas, isn't that Las Vegas? It happened. Yeah. It happened to me uh you might remember if you're not from here you might remember caroline goodman from her interview

with uh anderson cooper in 2020 or mid 2020 where she's uh possibly drunk and saying like vegas is open for business we're not concerned about this virus at all. But a little more. Doing an old hee-haw character. Yeah. A little more eloquent, her comments on the loop. I think it's impractical. It is not proven yet. We don't have any raw, real data that's confirmed.

I find it unsafe and inaccessible. It is operator driven therefore it's not on a rail and cannot cannot move us all safely if this car that you're looking at gets a flat it backs up all the way it backs up all the way the traffic there are no exits along the way if we have a grid problem we all know what the problems are with energy look at california so i don't quite that last part's a little confusing to me um by the way she did vote yes on this expansion uh possibly a guy too possibly a guy too yeah um and i have lady guys um i know that you know ladies are guys ladies ladies can be guys ladies can be guys yeah we're researching

do you think looking into it with infinite resources and money if you if you set out to be a vegas guy oh yeah you have any thought what you how you might do that? Third Liberace Foundation. I pit them all against each other. Which aspect of Liberace would you want to control? Oh, cars only. Okay. I don't know. Batman related stuff. Something.

I'd find my little corner of it and I'd get real weird with it. And I'd make a non-profit and draw people in to meet me. And then I'd trap them and they'd be with me and not the other two guys. And I'd become the console to somewhere.

And I'd get four dogs. The console to Blue's Planet, perhaps. Hey, Blue, we're wrapping up. Do you want to say goodbye to the folks really quick? The console to Blue's planet, perhaps. Oh, yeah.
