Speaker 2 (00:16):
Bass, and I have my co host for the day,
Aj McLean Head in the house, and of course.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
We have Drew Boo with us to make sure that's
everybody behavior. Yeah exactly if I'm talking really fastest because
my adrenaline is going crazy right now, because we are
in Las Vegas at the Speedway and we just did
some fun driving on this course. AJ please explain what
we just experienced.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I mean it has been literally like a bucket list
experience for me to go on a track and to
just drive fast.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
And we got to do that today in the new
Ionic five.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
N which literally for inc by the way, no, it
does not for instincts.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, I mean literally, we got to do a timed
race between the two of us.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
One I won, although I did hit more cones. It's okay.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
That doesn't disqualify you.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I mean, I mean, look, you know what it's like.
It's like splitting hares here. Let's just not I.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Think I deserve another ten.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
You did hit a.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Practice yeah, so then we got to go follow a
lead car on the main track. We got the car
up to one hundred and fifteen miles per hour, which
is the fastest I've ever gotten in my life.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Week yeah, week sauce do that, but I did hit U.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
There's a very special button in the car. It's a
little special red button that the second you press that button,
you are literally like accelerating full torque, full speed, full
horse power.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Forty one horse power, yes.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Like instantly, in like ten seconds. And then we this
is a car that people could buy.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I mean it feels safe, all electric.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I mean, look, you're never really gonna use I mean,
look on the four oh five, you might want to
use that just to get by some you know, people
are driving slower than crap. But we also did uh
go drifting, which was super intense.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
It was super fun.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I was drifting, but I didn't mean to drift and
our our race. This is true drifting all over the place.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
I mean, this is what we see in Fast and
Furious obviously. I mean I grew up in the Midwest
where we had snow, so you could drift a lot,
but you didn't really want.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
To just yeah, you slide into.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
Someone's curb or something like that. So, so what's it
like when you're drifting on actual's asphalt.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Well, you're kind of really we call them the Oshiza grips. Yep,
you're really holding onto those those handles.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Oh, it's really.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Whipping you around the it's whipping you well, because there's
the like setup which is kind of jarring, and then
it's the smooth drift into the turn, and the drifts
are not that like you're not accelerating, like you're not
going fast, but you go fast and then you slow
down and then you start.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I mean it's there's zero tread left on these ti
Oh yeah, I mean you could smell yeah, say, I mean,
thank you Hyundai for letting us have these experiences. They
let us have so much fun. So I can't wait
to come back and do it again.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I can't believe they.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Let you guys just take because they were everybody else
they were giving them rides on that track where they're drifting,
was going.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Oh we signed a waiver, Oh, we signed our life away.
We got behind the wheel, but I.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Was like, I was like, wait, where's the driver for them?
And they were like, no, we're just gonna let them
take it out and drift on their own. I was like, well,
I would not advise that at all.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I mean, they got a test of seeing how both
of us drive on the way here to Las Vegas, that.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
We both have lead feet. Let's just be honest. And
I just want to say, you know, thank you to
Hunday again. You know.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
The the Ionic five specifically is my oldest daughter's favorite
car in the world. Anytime we see when driving around
La she's like, that's gonna be my car dead.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
That's gonna be my four years.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
She's got four years, so hopefully between now and then
Hyundai we could work something out.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
She's a car girl, she's our girl. Both my girls
are sneaker heads, just like your daddy.
Speaker 2 (04:02):

the desert. I guess, uh and and uh there's just
a concert setup that's all being powered by this ionic

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Little kids. I'm excited. They just announced yesterday their residency.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yes you're in Vegas, and you know, you know the
thing about residencies, Yes you're in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I mean, Vegas is the spot to perform now.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
It is like now more than ever.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
When you know, back with Elton, John and Selene.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
It was still kind of a testing ground like but
I mean.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Both there wasn't break because back in the day the
rat pack Elvis like it was the thing to do.
Then a couple of decades people stopped doing it.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Well, they looked at it as like, if you go
to Vegas, you're washed up, quote unquote. But then, like
I said, once Elton came with the big red piano
and you had Selene, that kind of changed things.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Then when Britney came, it created a whole new like
perception of it was really young.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Yeah, and then when we came from what we were
told it was the fastest selling Vegas residency ever. We
were set up to do nine shows. We did eighty
one shows.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
And you're only on the weekends, right, So Wednesday, Friday, Saturday.
Wednesday Friday said, so what do you do on the
off days?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Did you just.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Thursday some of us which just I mean on Thursday
most of us which stay here, Uh, and then literally
on Sunday you fly back home. We would take you know,
Jet Sweet Eggs or whatever back back to Burbank, go back.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Home and then fly back out on Wednesday morning.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
But Uh, sadly for me that wasn't the best run
because I wasn't in my best form back then. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
So I do look forward to us coming back to Vegas. Uh,
now sober for.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Three years, and congratulation.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
I know that I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I'm so glad that you have you know, you've gotten sober.
It must be really hard though, in a place like
Vegas when you're struggling with something like you know that
it is.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
But at the same time, like you know, now, I
know that I have the control to say, you know what,
if I'm not comfortable in whatever situation I'm in, I
have the power to leave.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
I can just say no, and you know what, I'm out.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah, But you know, last night we went to.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Pinky Ring was so much fun.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
And you know a lot of people I would I
would think, can't even put themselves in a situation where
people drinking around them. But you are totally fine and
having the will power to.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I was also with a good group of people, like You're.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Not when I was there, so I would say a
good group of people, but.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
A big a gay group of people.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
No, but like you, you you're not like a like
a party hard kind of person. Like you're just like
you're like me, like you wanted to sit and enjoy
have good conversation.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
The music was incredible, It was incredible.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I love that there's no phones allowed so you could
actually enjoy the moment with each other.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
And you know this incredible babble.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Well, I saw a lot of phones out last night.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
But you're not allowed to film or take pictures. But
everyone's on their Instagram and doing whatever. But like, no,
I mean again, like I'm not going to just become
an introvert and not enjoy my life. But now I
can make these new memories and I'll remember them like
this whole experience today on the speedway, like I will
never forget this, you know what I mean, Like this
is just awesome.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Well, I mean, we're talking about those music residencies. Take
a break when we come back. We're taking a little
break when we come back. We've got to talk about
these iconic residencies, and I want to know your opinion on.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Some of them. So we'll be right back. Welcome back
to Frosted Tips. I got a J. McLean with me here,
(11:17):
we got Drew Boots.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
All right, we're in Vegas, and you know residencies are
going strong here.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Of course you've done one.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
New kids just announced Theirs, god Dell just finished hers,
Lady Guy guys always in and.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Out of here.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I mean sure, sure, you have to say sure. So,
uh let me ask you this, who do you think
had the most iconic Vegas residency of all time?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
All time? I mean.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
You gotta go like I feel like, look, I feel
like this was a very limited run for this particular group,
and I'm so glad we got to see it. Uh.
Me and Kevin Bryan how he went to see Silk sonic.
It was the epitome of what a Vegas show should be,
(12:08):
from the music to the wardrobe, to the lighting, to
the staging. And the band is huge band I mean
doing because it was very reminiscent of what Bruno does
with his band. So the band is dancing with him,
and then you got you know, Anderson Pack playing the drums.
They go back and forth on the drums. It was,
(12:28):
it was comedic, it was entertaining. The sound at Park
MGM is just insane. And then a close second right there.
I got to go with my family.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
To see the very last jazz show that God did.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It's my favorite one. It's unreal, I mean again, comedic.
She plays this character's amazing.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
And honestly, one of the things she did in that
show that I've never seen any artists do in my
whole career, and maybe you've.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Never seen it either.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
The most captivating moment she's playing the piano, she's singing
with the mic, she gets off the piano, off the
mic and sings with no mic, and that whole venue
you can hear a pin drop.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Really actually listening.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
To her sing like a cappella with no no sound.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
And I have to say it was.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
It was my favorite performance to watch by far. I
was there opening night for Selene years and years ago.
Uh so long ago. I remember Justin was hosting it
for the television. I don't know what network was doing it,
but he was. It was right when his solo career started,
so like he was like the host backstage. But I
think the most iconic for me, and of course I
(13:36):
never saw it but Elvis. I mean it just when
you think Vegas, you think Elvis, that rat pack, but
also I think the.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
King Wayne Newton. Oh, I mean Wayne Newton has always
killed it in.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
This town, thousands of performances here. He iss, yes, there's
a reason for that. You know he still does, he
still perform I couldn't tell you that. Like I saw
something about him like maybe three years ago or whatever he.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Was he was very old.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
But yeah, he's still coming out on that stage.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
And I don't know if he has a residency.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Right, I mean, look at Donny Osman. Donnie Osman has.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Been Donny, I've seen Donna Marie together.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I mean you and I talked about this on the
Driver today, like people like Carrot Top that have been.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Here and tell her that had been here for ever, right,
like you know, track of time.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
It's funny because Carrot Top, you know, he for a
long time. He's kind of the butt of people jokes
and Lance and I years and years ago when we
were doing the radio show.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
We we came to Vegas for something.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I forget what and we and Lance.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Was like, We're gonna go see Carrot Top and I
was like really and he's like, yo, you'll be surprised.
Every joke was a like a huge laugh because he's
done the act for so long.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
He's so funny. But he's just changes a.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Lot because he's staying relevant with that's true, and he's
just he's like a laser.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Everyone's a bullet.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
It's just joke, joke, joke, and then all of a sudden,
ninety minutes goes by and you're like, oh.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
That's it, Like it was wild.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Scott.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
If there was someone to.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Get a residency, like your favorite artists, who would it be?
Who would you want to see on an incredible stage?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I mean I did get to see Aerosmith when they
had their RESU was incredible.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Who should though, Like, I mean something epic, you know
I won't When you think Vegas, I want all the
bells and whistles. You know, I don't want someone just
sitting behind the mic singing.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I entertain me. I want show girls. I want it all.
Give it to me.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
I mean, gosh, I mean there's so it. It just
depends like do you want a group? Do you want
a solo artist? Do you want like a female like?
Speaker 4 (15:46):
I don't know, man, God, there's so many artists like
Coleplay would be great. I was thinking cole Play would
be incredible.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
And their show would just be so like, yeah, have.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
You been to the sphere yet? No?
Speaker 1 (15:59):
No, okay, that that is the ultimate. I think I
would love to put on a one night only performance
and just have so much fun that.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I'm so I missed the Grateful Dead performance there and
fish you too?
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Yeah, I mean, God, but who I mean? I guess
cole plays a good answer.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Oh, I'm trying to.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I mean, I know mine who Destiny's child?
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Oh would be Gods.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Or pussy Cat Dolls killer because they would dance, they
would sing their asses off.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
I mean that would No, that's that's a really good one. Actually,
Dusty's child to come back together?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
That or Spice Girls.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
I'm sure my girls would be a killer residence, A
nice All right, let's talk about this pickle.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
So one of our stops.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
On the way here was at this place in Baker.
Baker is home of the world's largest thermometer.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Right, yes, and we've been there.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
One hundred and thirty four was the record, right uh.
And then there's a place across the street called Alien Again.
I always see it, and I used to live in
Vegas or everything, like, oh, I'm going to stop there.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
We finally stopped there. It wasn't so impressed with.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
You have to like you really have to be a
fan of jerky.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Jerky, a hot sauce, which I love hot sauce.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
But I was expecting this kind of like museum, like
Alien museum or something.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
But it was basically a seven eleven of jerky.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Literally yeah, like I mean jerky. They have a lot
of candy jerky.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
But they had an array of pickles, right every flavor
you could think of.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
So now a lot of.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
I love pickles, love love pickles. I prefer like.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
If you go to like the true like jewish DELI like,
they're not bitter pickle, the one that's not been pickled
long enough. It's got that real crisp almost like cucumber
my favorite.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
That's that's my least favorite. I don't like the New
York pickles. I like the ones that have been sitting there.
Dylan Forever, Dylan Dylan, Yo, my favorite. Like as a kid,
I loved, you know, play baseball, or i'd go to
a baseball game. I'd always get, you know, the whole pickle.
You know, it was fifty cents. It was fifty cents
for pickle. It's my favorite thing. So we found all
(18:09):
these pickles at this jerky place and there was one
that you found, remember the Warheads you're a kid, that
was super sound.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It was supposed to be.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
So there was a TikTok challenge that happened a while back,
and it was with this exact pickle, and it, yeah,
it was supposed to be the world's most sour pickles.
Warheads supposed to be extremely sour. And we did, like
a full on Lady in the Tramp moment picklehead to pickle.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Ahead, cameras and ready to pickle head to pickle ahead.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
No, we really wanted to get like a reaction out
of you. It literally just tasted like a pickle.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Is that even possible though. Yeah, it was supposed to
have got it, just a bad batch.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
It was again it describes the alien place.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
It was branded with warhead sour. Can they also have
invisible jerky? Did you see.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
That's a bag and it's an empty bag that they
make you pay like fifteen dollars for it?
Speaker 4 (18:59):
No?
Speaker 5 (18:59):
No, it was a buck night And I was like,
this is one of those gifts that you get as
a kid where you're like, I don't think it's funny.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Where where's my danger?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I remember we did a road trip when I was
a kid, and you know, it was up in Pennsylvania
and I guess there's a Transylvania Pennsylvania maybe you know, And.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Of course they do the whole and I remember there
was a little side, you know.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Stop and we stop and they have this little cage
where there was these little baby bats and I'm like, oh,
and they're like you see the little baby bats? And like,
I'm an idiot, don't I don't see any baby.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Bats in here.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
They're like you don't see those little baby bats? Like
what is going on? It was literally like baby baseball bats?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Like are you kidding me? That was the stop? That
was the tourist trap from little baby baseball.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
You see did you see recently like this whole thing
at the zoo in China where like they finally had
to admit that they painted dogs to look like pandas. No, yes, yeah,
they're like chowds like, but they painted them to look
like pandas just so they can have Literally, they had
to admit it because like tourists would go and see
and go, Okay, that's not a panda.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
That's a dog painted like a panda.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
That is the most ridiculous thing. Is it hard to
get a panda these days?
Speaker 4 (20:09):
I actually held one.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I held a baby panda, all five of us. We
were in Chengdu, China, and we went to a sanctuary
where they rehabilitate and they can, you know, help because
pandas were slowly becoming endangered, and they let us hold
six month old pandas.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
They're about seventy five pounds and the cutest things in
the world. They're pefty.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Just hold a little piece of bamboo. They're just knowing
on it. But like I got to say, I held
a panda, and.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
To this day, that same panda sing sweet sweet harmonies.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I mean, if you want to go down a rabbit hole,
go search baby pandas they're naughty and so funny to
watch they are.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
They're like zoo keepers. They're like mischievous.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Oh yeah, they're just like always trying to just get
into things.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Humsy as hell? Is that why they're endangered because.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
They just wasn't people.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
They're almost gone because look at how they act.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Just roll off the cliff.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
But they're having But I mean they're bears, right, so
I would imagine that you they would kill you, right
if you just ran into a panda bear.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah, but I still think they would rip you apart.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Oh, I mean sure, you know, yeah, I mean I guess.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Like they look cute, but I'm sure they would just
like slash your throat in the wild, you.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Know, come to panda.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
I didn't have a deep panda discussion on my Bengo card.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
I did.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I wish I did.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Okay, So what else do you guys like to do
when you're in Vegas? Just as the last like little like, yeah,
you never like to miss certain things.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Look Vegas, you know, I've been coming here my whole life.
I've lived here, you know for a few years, and
people would be surprised how family oriented this town can be.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
It's true living here.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
You know, we brought the kids here yet no, I
have not. They're not old enough to really enjoy. There's
lots of great things for kids, but they're just now
getting old enough to be able to experience those fun things.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
You know. I brought my kids here a couple of times,
like when we have the residency.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
You know, uh, you've got like the shark tank and
you've got But there's a lot of things on the
outskirts to do. There's hiking, there's mountain biking, there's doom buggies,
there's going fast in a car.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
How old do you have to be to write like
do this speedway thing? Because my kids would love to
be in the back of that car.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
That nobody and nobody in this whole room.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
It's probably eighteen and up.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Because you like sign your.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
I mean I love going to shows, you know, like
I've probably seen the one show I've seen probably the
most here is Blue Man Group, because I've known those
guys since they started, and I've seen every different trio.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Because they're they're not coming from all over the world.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
You can't go run with a Cirk show.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
All the shirt shows are great. Absence is one of.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
My Oh yeah, it's all really I mean it's that's
a funny show.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
It's not circ it's its own show, but it is.
If you want.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Vulgar and degraded, it's dirty.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Go see Absence. It's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
It's really funny.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
The two mcs, it's a guy and a girl. They
are Oh it's funny. Yeah, oh my god. But it
is like circum of sense.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
But there's no protective nets, there's no nothing in some
of the things that they do.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
It's got you on the edge.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Of you see. Yeah, and you're just in a little
circus tent right in your face. Yeah yeah wow. But
you know, back in the day when I lived here,
that's when you know.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
The Palms was the best hotel, and you know that
rain Nightclub and the Real World sweet, you know real
World that just ended that time, that Playboy Club. But
it was you know in my twenties, Yes, you were
always at heart and just having like a really good time.
Now in my elder age, it's all about the restaurants.
There's such good food here. All these chefs have come here,
(23:54):
put their little flagship restaurants in you can't you know what.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Was that place you were talking about yesterday?
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Oh Hell's kitchen, No no, no library? Oh yeah, so the
library at the Nomad Hotel. Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Like the food, and then after hours it turns into
so actually Gaga's MD, who's an insane trumpet player, has
a mini residency there. So it's like a full burlesque
jazz show that happens after hours in that restaurant.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Gaga's music.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Got a talent, and.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
You're literally in a library. There's books everywhere, and it's
such a cool vibe. The lighting's great, but the food
is insane. The yellow tail and the bread.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Oh well, and that's you know, Vegas is all about opulence, right,
I mean, because there's so much money, you can't you
can't go to any other town because you don't have
that money behind you just to make the biggest restaurant
ever in this most elaborate drinks. So that's one of
this place is so special because they got the funds
to be able to give you the best experience.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
I mean, Vegas is on the go, and it's really
I'm so impressed with how much to developments going on,
and it's just it's.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Really Skyline has a lot.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Yeah, it's definitely booming.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
I mean even like going from a parental standpoint, like
the school systems are great here. My bandmate has been
living here since we started the Resident five and seventeen.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Nick's been out.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Here for him. Yeah, he loves it.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
He loves it out here.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
I mean it really is like you said, you have
this perception of Vegas is just party, party, party, party party.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
There is so much more.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
To do and experience. When I lived here, I loved
It's kind of like a barter system.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
So you know, you know everyone, you know, all the performers,
you know, all the chefs, I mean everything, and they're like, oh,
can you give me tickets to this? Sure, if you
can give me, you know, a free dinner. But it's
it's always just kind of like trading. You never spent
a dime living here. Everyone takes care of each other.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
That's like Orlando too, is that way.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Yeah, I live there.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
For me in a long time, and he's made my
brother lives there.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah. Yeah, they have the bar there as well. That's good.
That's cool. Yeah, I love I love coming out here.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
And again, thank you Hyundai for being able you know,
to do this so we can have these fun experiences
and you'll definitely be coming back right day, right right,
we're coming back. We want to come back to the
speedway because my adrenaline still.

I'm about to pass out though about an hour. I'm
going to be dead and.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Yeah, you me both. And then I'm going to get
my nails.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Dean, Okay, I'm going to hit the spa.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
That's another thing that now I'm in my forties, I
want a good restaurant and I want a good spa.
Speaker 2 (26:24):

Aj McLean Head in the house, and of course.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
We have Drew Boo with us to make sure that's
everybody behavior. Yeah exactly if I'm talking really fastest because
my adrenaline is going crazy right now, because we are
in Las Vegas at the Speedway and we just did
some fun driving on this course. AJ please explain what
we just experienced.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I mean it has been literally like a bucket list
experience for me to go on a track and to
just drive fast.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
And we got to do that today in the new
Ionic five.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
N which literally for inc by the way, no, it
does not for instincts.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, I mean literally, we got to do a timed
race between the two of us.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
One I won, although I did hit more cones. It's okay.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
That doesn't disqualify you.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I mean, I mean, look, you know what it's like.
It's like splitting hares here. Let's just not I.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Think I deserve another ten.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
You did hit a.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Practice yeah, so then we got to go follow a
lead car on the main track. We got the car
up to one hundred and fifteen miles per hour, which
is the fastest I've ever gotten in my life.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Week yeah, week sauce do that, but I did hit U.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
There's a very special button in the car. It's a
little special red button that the second you press that button,
you are literally like accelerating full torque, full speed, full
horse power.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Forty one horse power, yes.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Like instantly, in like ten seconds. And then we this
is a car that people could buy.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I mean it feels safe, all electric.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I mean, look, you're never really gonna use I mean,
look on the four oh five, you might want to
use that just to get by some you know, people
are driving slower than crap. But we also did uh
go drifting, which was super intense.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
It was super fun.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I was drifting, but I didn't mean to drift and
our our race. This is true drifting all over the place.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
I mean, this is what we see in Fast and
Furious obviously. I mean I grew up in the Midwest
where we had snow, so you could drift a lot,
but you didn't really want.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
To just yeah, you slide into.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
Someone's curb or something like that. So, so what's it
like when you're drifting on actual's asphalt.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Well, you're kind of really we call them the Oshiza grips. Yep,
you're really holding onto those those handles.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Oh, it's really.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Whipping you around the it's whipping you well, because there's
the like setup which is kind of jarring, and then
it's the smooth drift into the turn, and the drifts
are not that like you're not accelerating, like you're not
going fast, but you go fast and then you slow
down and then you start.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I mean it's there's zero tread left on these ti
Oh yeah, I mean you could smell yeah, say, I mean,
thank you Hyundai for letting us have these experiences. They
let us have so much fun. So I can't wait
to come back and do it again.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I can't believe they.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Let you guys just take because they were everybody else
they were giving them rides on that track where they're drifting,
was going.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Oh we signed a waiver, Oh, we signed our life away.
We got behind the wheel, but I.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Was like, I was like, wait, where's the driver for them?
And they were like, no, we're just gonna let them
take it out and drift on their own. I was like, well,
I would not advise that at all.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I mean, they got a test of seeing how both
of us drive on the way here to Las Vegas, that.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
We both have lead feet. Let's just be honest. And
I just want to say, you know, thank you to
Hunday again. You know.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
The the Ionic five specifically is my oldest daughter's favorite
car in the world. Anytime we see when driving around
La she's like, that's gonna be my car dead.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
That's gonna be my four years.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
She's got four years, so hopefully between now and then
Hyundai we could work something out.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
She's a car girl, she's our girl. Both my girls
are sneaker heads, just like your daddy.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
That's good.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
The apple doesn't fall far to.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Say, if you're watching this video right now, this show
is being run by the Ionic five.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
N right, Yes, it is all the little all the
extra I'm impressed. And whether we have these lights. Everything
is being run on well guessterday.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
On our road trip, they this is the wildest road
trip yesterday. But at one point we go into the
middle of this lake bed and in the middle of
the desert. I guess, uh and and uh there's just
a concert setup that's all being powered by this ionic
and and this guy plays and he's got amplifiers and
(04:39):
the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
It was wild. There's a food truck out there and everything.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
We went to that Calico ghost town, which you know,
I love a ghost town. It's Halloween season right now,
but y'all didn't get to see the Calico that I
usually get to see because we only got to spend
a couple.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
I mean it was still it was very pioneer, very
old West Sasparilla.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
We had Sasparilla.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Yeah, I should have bought the cowboy hat.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I don't know what I was thinking.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
I should have bought it.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You tried on two.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
I only saw the black one you were wearing the
hell out of it looked great.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I don't know why I didn't purchase it.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Was full nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
AJ because I used to rock like Leopard cowboy hats
back in the nineties and the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (05:53):

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Little kids. I'm excited. They just announced yesterday their residency.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yes you're in Vegas, and you know, you know the
thing about residencies, Yes you're in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I mean, Vegas is the spot to perform now.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
It is like now more than ever.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
When you know, back with Elton, John and Selene.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
It was still kind of a testing ground like but
I mean.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Both there wasn't break because back in the day the
rat pack Elvis like it was the thing to do.
Then a couple of decades people stopped doing it.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Well, they looked at it as like, if you go
to Vegas, you're washed up, quote unquote. But then, like
I said, once Elton came with the big red piano
and you had Selene, that kind of changed things.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Then when Britney came, it created a whole new like
perception of it was really young.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Yeah, and then when we came from what we were
told it was the fastest selling Vegas residency ever. We
were set up to do nine shows. We did eighty
one shows.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
And you're only on the weekends, right, So Wednesday, Friday, Saturday.
Wednesday Friday said, so what do you do on the
off days?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Did you just.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Thursday some of us which just I mean on Thursday
most of us which stay here, Uh, and then literally
on Sunday you fly back home. We would take you know,
Jet Sweet Eggs or whatever back back to Burbank, go back.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Home and then fly back out on Wednesday morning.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
But Uh, sadly for me that wasn't the best run
because I wasn't in my best form back then. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
So I do look forward to us coming back to Vegas. Uh,
now sober for.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Three years, and congratulation.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
I know that I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I'm so glad that you have you know, you've gotten sober.
It must be really hard though, in a place like
Vegas when you're struggling with something like you know that
it is.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
But at the same time, like you know, now, I
know that I have the control to say, you know what,
if I'm not comfortable in whatever situation I'm in, I
have the power to leave.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
I can just say no, and you know what, I'm out.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah, But you know, last night we went to.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Pinky Ring was so much fun.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
And you know a lot of people I would I
would think, can't even put themselves in a situation where
people drinking around them. But you are totally fine and
having the will power to.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I was also with a good group of people, like You're.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Not when I was there, so I would say a
good group of people, but.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
A big a gay group of people.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
No, but like you, you you're not like a like
a party hard kind of person. Like you're just like
you're like me, like you wanted to sit and enjoy
have good conversation.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
The music was incredible, It was incredible.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I love that there's no phones allowed so you could
actually enjoy the moment with each other.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
And you know this incredible babble.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Well, I saw a lot of phones out last night.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
But you're not allowed to film or take pictures. But
everyone's on their Instagram and doing whatever. But like, no,
I mean again, like I'm not going to just become
an introvert and not enjoy my life. But now I
can make these new memories and I'll remember them like
this whole experience today on the speedway, like I will
never forget this, you know what I mean, Like this
is just awesome.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Well, I mean, we're talking about those music residencies. Take
a break when we come back. We're taking a little
break when we come back. We've got to talk about
these iconic residencies, and I want to know your opinion on.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Some of them. So we'll be right back. Welcome back
to Frosted Tips. I got a J. McLean with me here,
(11:17):
we got Drew Boots.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
All right, we're in Vegas, and you know residencies are
going strong here.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Of course you've done one.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
New kids just announced Theirs, god Dell just finished hers,
Lady Guy guys always in and.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Out of here.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I mean sure, sure, you have to say sure. So,
uh let me ask you this, who do you think
had the most iconic Vegas residency of all time?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
All time? I mean.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
You gotta go like I feel like, look, I feel
like this was a very limited run for this particular group,
and I'm so glad we got to see it. Uh.
Me and Kevin Bryan how he went to see Silk sonic.
It was the epitome of what a Vegas show should be,
(12:08):
from the music to the wardrobe, to the lighting, to
the staging. And the band is huge band I mean
doing because it was very reminiscent of what Bruno does
with his band. So the band is dancing with him,
and then you got you know, Anderson Pack playing the drums.
They go back and forth on the drums. It was,
(12:28):
it was comedic, it was entertaining. The sound at Park
MGM is just insane. And then a close second right there.
I got to go with my family.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
To see the very last jazz show that God did.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It's my favorite one. It's unreal, I mean again, comedic.
She plays this character's amazing.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
And honestly, one of the things she did in that
show that I've never seen any artists do in my
whole career, and maybe you've.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Never seen it either.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
The most captivating moment she's playing the piano, she's singing
with the mic, she gets off the piano, off the
mic and sings with no mic, and that whole venue
you can hear a pin drop.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Really actually listening.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
To her sing like a cappella with no no sound.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
And I have to say it was.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
It was my favorite performance to watch by far. I
was there opening night for Selene years and years ago.
Uh so long ago. I remember Justin was hosting it
for the television. I don't know what network was doing it,
but he was. It was right when his solo career started,
so like he was like the host backstage. But I
think the most iconic for me, and of course I
(13:36):
never saw it but Elvis. I mean it just when
you think Vegas, you think Elvis, that rat pack, but
also I think the.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
King Wayne Newton. Oh, I mean Wayne Newton has always
killed it in.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
This town, thousands of performances here. He iss, yes, there's
a reason for that. You know he still does, he
still perform I couldn't tell you that. Like I saw
something about him like maybe three years ago or whatever he.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Was he was very old.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
But yeah, he's still coming out on that stage.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
And I don't know if he has a residency.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Right, I mean, look at Donny Osman. Donnie Osman has.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Been Donny, I've seen Donna Marie together.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I mean you and I talked about this on the
Driver today, like people like Carrot Top that have been.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Here and tell her that had been here for ever, right,
like you know, track of time.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
It's funny because Carrot Top, you know, he for a
long time. He's kind of the butt of people jokes
and Lance and I years and years ago when we
were doing the radio show.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
We we came to Vegas for something.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I forget what and we and Lance.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Was like, We're gonna go see Carrot Top and I
was like really and he's like, yo, you'll be surprised.
Every joke was a like a huge laugh because he's
done the act for so long.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
He's so funny. But he's just changes a.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Lot because he's staying relevant with that's true, and he's
just he's like a laser.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Everyone's a bullet.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
It's just joke, joke, joke, and then all of a sudden,
ninety minutes goes by and you're like, oh.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
That's it, Like it was wild.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Scott.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
If there was someone to.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Get a residency, like your favorite artists, who would it be?
Who would you want to see on an incredible stage?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I mean I did get to see Aerosmith when they
had their RESU was incredible.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Who should though, Like, I mean something epic, you know
I won't When you think Vegas, I want all the
bells and whistles. You know, I don't want someone just
sitting behind the mic singing.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I entertain me. I want show girls. I want it all.
Give it to me.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
I mean, gosh, I mean there's so it. It just
depends like do you want a group? Do you want
a solo artist? Do you want like a female like?
Speaker 4 (15:46):
I don't know, man, God, there's so many artists like
Coleplay would be great. I was thinking cole Play would
be incredible.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
And their show would just be so like, yeah, have.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
You been to the sphere yet? No?
Speaker 1 (15:59):
No, okay, that that is the ultimate. I think I
would love to put on a one night only performance
and just have so much fun that.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I'm so I missed the Grateful Dead performance there and
fish you too?
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Yeah, I mean, God, but who I mean? I guess
cole plays a good answer.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Oh, I'm trying to.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I mean, I know mine who Destiny's child?
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Oh would be Gods.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Or pussy Cat Dolls killer because they would dance, they
would sing their asses off.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
I mean that would No, that's that's a really good one. Actually,
Dusty's child to come back together?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
That or Spice Girls.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
I'm sure my girls would be a killer residence, A
nice All right, let's talk about this pickle.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
So one of our stops.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
On the way here was at this place in Baker.
Baker is home of the world's largest thermometer.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Right, yes, and we've been there.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
One hundred and thirty four was the record, right uh.
And then there's a place across the street called Alien Again.
I always see it, and I used to live in
Vegas or everything, like, oh, I'm going to stop there.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
We finally stopped there. It wasn't so impressed with.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
You have to like you really have to be a
fan of jerky.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Jerky, a hot sauce, which I love hot sauce.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
But I was expecting this kind of like museum, like
Alien museum or something.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
But it was basically a seven eleven of jerky.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Literally yeah, like I mean jerky. They have a lot
of candy jerky.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
But they had an array of pickles, right every flavor
you could think of.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
So now a lot of.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
I love pickles, love love pickles. I prefer like.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
If you go to like the true like jewish DELI like,
they're not bitter pickle, the one that's not been pickled
long enough. It's got that real crisp almost like cucumber
my favorite.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
That's that's my least favorite. I don't like the New
York pickles. I like the ones that have been sitting there.
Dylan Forever, Dylan Dylan, Yo, my favorite. Like as a kid,
I loved, you know, play baseball, or i'd go to
a baseball game. I'd always get, you know, the whole pickle.
You know, it was fifty cents. It was fifty cents
for pickle. It's my favorite thing. So we found all
(18:09):
these pickles at this jerky place and there was one
that you found, remember the Warheads you're a kid, that
was super sound.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It was supposed to be.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
So there was a TikTok challenge that happened a while back,
and it was with this exact pickle, and it, yeah,
it was supposed to be the world's most sour pickles.
Warheads supposed to be extremely sour. And we did, like
a full on Lady in the Tramp moment picklehead to pickle.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Ahead, cameras and ready to pickle head to pickle ahead.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
No, we really wanted to get like a reaction out
of you. It literally just tasted like a pickle.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Is that even possible though. Yeah, it was supposed to
have got it, just a bad batch.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
It was again it describes the alien place.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
It was branded with warhead sour. Can they also have
invisible jerky? Did you see.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
That's a bag and it's an empty bag that they
make you pay like fifteen dollars for it?
Speaker 4 (18:59):
No?
Speaker 5 (18:59):
No, it was a buck night And I was like,
this is one of those gifts that you get as
a kid where you're like, I don't think it's funny.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Where where's my danger?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I remember we did a road trip when I was
a kid, and you know, it was up in Pennsylvania
and I guess there's a Transylvania Pennsylvania maybe you know, And.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Of course they do the whole and I remember there
was a little side, you know.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Stop and we stop and they have this little cage
where there was these little baby bats and I'm like, oh,
and they're like you see the little baby bats? And like,
I'm an idiot, don't I don't see any baby.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Bats in here.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
They're like you don't see those little baby bats? Like
what is going on? It was literally like baby baseball bats?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Like are you kidding me? That was the stop? That
was the tourist trap from little baby baseball.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
You see did you see recently like this whole thing
at the zoo in China where like they finally had
to admit that they painted dogs to look like pandas. No, yes, yeah,
they're like chowds like, but they painted them to look
like pandas just so they can have Literally, they had
to admit it because like tourists would go and see
and go, Okay, that's not a panda.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
That's a dog painted like a panda.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
That is the most ridiculous thing. Is it hard to
get a panda these days?
Speaker 4 (20:09):
I actually held one.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I held a baby panda, all five of us. We
were in Chengdu, China, and we went to a sanctuary
where they rehabilitate and they can, you know, help because
pandas were slowly becoming endangered, and they let us hold
six month old pandas.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
They're about seventy five pounds and the cutest things in
the world. They're pefty.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Just hold a little piece of bamboo. They're just knowing
on it. But like I got to say, I held
a panda, and.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
To this day, that same panda sing sweet sweet harmonies.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I mean, if you want to go down a rabbit hole,
go search baby pandas they're naughty and so funny to
watch they are.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
They're like zoo keepers. They're like mischievous.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Oh yeah, they're just like always trying to just get
into things.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
Humsy as hell? Is that why they're endangered because.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
They just wasn't people.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
They're almost gone because look at how they act.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Just roll off the cliff.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
But they're having But I mean they're bears, right, so
I would imagine that you they would kill you, right
if you just ran into a panda bear.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah, but I still think they would rip you apart.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Oh, I mean sure, you know, yeah, I mean I guess.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Like they look cute, but I'm sure they would just
like slash your throat in the wild, you.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Know, come to panda.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
I didn't have a deep panda discussion on my Bengo card.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
I did.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I wish I did.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Okay, So what else do you guys like to do
when you're in Vegas? Just as the last like little like, yeah,
you never like to miss certain things.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Look Vegas, you know, I've been coming here my whole life.
I've lived here, you know for a few years, and
people would be surprised how family oriented this town can be.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
It's true living here.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
You know, we brought the kids here yet no, I
have not. They're not old enough to really enjoy. There's
lots of great things for kids, but they're just now
getting old enough to be able to experience those fun things.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
You know. I brought my kids here a couple of times,
like when we have the residency.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
You know, uh, you've got like the shark tank and
you've got But there's a lot of things on the
outskirts to do. There's hiking, there's mountain biking, there's doom buggies,
there's going fast in a car.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
How old do you have to be to write like
do this speedway thing? Because my kids would love to
be in the back of that car.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
That nobody and nobody in this whole room.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
It's probably eighteen and up.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Because you like sign your.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
I mean I love going to shows, you know, like
I've probably seen the one show I've seen probably the
most here is Blue Man Group, because I've known those
guys since they started, and I've seen every different trio.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Because they're they're not coming from all over the world.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
You can't go run with a Cirk show.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
All the shirt shows are great. Absence is one of.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
My Oh yeah, it's all really I mean it's that's
a funny show.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
It's not circ it's its own show, but it is.
If you want.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Vulgar and degraded, it's dirty.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Go see Absence. It's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
It's really funny.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
The two mcs, it's a guy and a girl. They
are Oh it's funny. Yeah, oh my god. But it
is like circum of sense.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
But there's no protective nets, there's no nothing in some
of the things that they do.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
It's got you on the edge.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Of you see. Yeah, and you're just in a little
circus tent right in your face. Yeah yeah wow. But
you know, back in the day when I lived here,
that's when you know.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
The Palms was the best hotel, and you know that
rain Nightclub and the Real World sweet, you know real
World that just ended that time, that Playboy Club. But
it was you know in my twenties, Yes, you were
always at heart and just having like a really good time.
Now in my elder age, it's all about the restaurants.
There's such good food here. All these chefs have come here,
(23:54):
put their little flagship restaurants in you can't you know what.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Was that place you were talking about yesterday?
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Oh Hell's kitchen, No no, no library? Oh yeah, so the
library at the Nomad Hotel. Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Like the food, and then after hours it turns into
so actually Gaga's MD, who's an insane trumpet player, has
a mini residency there. So it's like a full burlesque
jazz show that happens after hours in that restaurant.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Gaga's music.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Got a talent, and.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
You're literally in a library. There's books everywhere, and it's
such a cool vibe. The lighting's great, but the food
is insane. The yellow tail and the bread.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Oh well, and that's you know, Vegas is all about opulence, right,
I mean, because there's so much money, you can't you
can't go to any other town because you don't have
that money behind you just to make the biggest restaurant
ever in this most elaborate drinks. So that's one of
this place is so special because they got the funds
to be able to give you the best experience.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
I mean, Vegas is on the go, and it's really
I'm so impressed with how much to developments going on,
and it's just it's.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Really Skyline has a lot.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Yeah, it's definitely booming.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
I mean even like going from a parental standpoint, like
the school systems are great here. My bandmate has been
living here since we started the Resident five and seventeen.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Nick's been out.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Here for him. Yeah, he loves it.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
He loves it out here.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
I mean it really is like you said, you have
this perception of Vegas is just party, party, party, party party.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
There is so much more.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
To do and experience. When I lived here, I loved
It's kind of like a barter system.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
So you know, you know everyone, you know, all the performers,
you know, all the chefs, I mean everything, and they're like, oh,
can you give me tickets to this? Sure, if you
can give me, you know, a free dinner. But it's
it's always just kind of like trading. You never spent
a dime living here. Everyone takes care of each other.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
That's like Orlando too, is that way.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Yeah, I live there.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
For me in a long time, and he's made my
brother lives there.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah. Yeah, they have the bar there as well. That's good.
That's cool. Yeah, I love I love coming out here.
Speaker 1 (25:55):

I'm about to pass out though about an hour. I'm
going to be dead and.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Yeah, you me both. And then I'm going to get
my nails.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Dean, Okay, I'm going to hit the spa.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
That's another thing that now I'm in my forties, I
want a good restaurant and I want a good spa.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
That is my life.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Well, and then you got the iHeart tonight, all.
