Speaker 1 (00:00):
There is a man that was stung in a Las
Vegas hotel in a particularly sensitive area. A California man
is suing the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas after waking
up in pain after suffering multiple stings from a scorpion
in his testicles.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
It's the second one recently. Do you remember that, Yeah,
like what's going on? It happened to me. It was
very bainful. Yeah, no, it did. It was Yeah. No,
I was the first one. It happened to me.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
And that's why the Mirage Hotel is closing, because's where
I was staying, and I I sued them, and I
also found a dead body under the under the bed
from nineteen seventy four, so I decided that it was time. Yeah,
a big hotel in Las Vegas is closing. Well, they're
turning it into something out of the hard rock, I guess.
So it's not like it's going away away, But they're
not tearing it down. They're just I guess they're rebrand
But they got rid of all the tigers and the

(00:51):
bears and the dolphins, and that's all been gone for
a while.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yeah, that's where the fire the firebox in the front
test the mirage.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Oh yeah, never been pyramid one right, No, that's lux
So that's the Luxor.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yeah, they're going to have to tear that one down
someday because there's what else are you gonna do with that?

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Just can verify that haunted because people died building that thing.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Really, I heard that, okay.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
And we were staying there because I mean, it's super
cheap to stay there. And then I went down to
the casino and then she was in the room and
she thought I had come back. Oh no, and she
came out of the bathroom and there she was talking
to nobody.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Boy, well that's what she's telling you. A woman of
the night was losing money.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
Watching people gamble from behind.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
I do know there's you like for falling his wedding.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
We went and after the wedding, we were all in
the casino and there's like so many games now, like
there's so many table games, like different kind of like
you know, this kind of poker and that kind of
poker and this kind of Like I was like, I
don't know any of these games, and I was just
sitting there watching people playing these games.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
I was trying to learn how to play the game
right behind them. Yeah, so you just stand there and
watch the people gamble. There's nothing wrong with that. Oh no,
it's kind of invasive, you know.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
I would feel so like weird if someone's over my shoulder,
like watching me gamble.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
If there's a lot Like if I'm walking past the
table and there seems to be a lot of energy,
like because people are winning and whatever, I'll stop and
see what's going on, because oftentimes you got somebody who's gambling.
If a lot of people are around the table, usually
someone's gambling a lot of money. Oh and that's always
interesting to see. Like there was so many new games.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
I was like, you just standing over old ladies at
the slot of money, right.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah, I had no money to gam right.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Oh well no, wonder so you were like the kid
on YouTube watching the YouTube videos, or the kid opening
the toys.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
And playing with them. Isn't as satisfying for you?

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Isn't as satisfying for you to watch other people gamble
as it is it is.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Because like I was honestly trying to learn how to play.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
So like, once you figure it out, you're like, oh
then you're like oh no, no, no, you don't don't hit,
don't don't hit Yeah, you.

Speaker 5 (03:02):
Have no inner monologue over somebody showed no, no, no,
don't do that.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
I don't do that. Actually, at the bar, switching clothes
with our friend about this, I was he had a
T shirt on. I just I don't see an the show.
Wait what hap this story?

Speaker 4 (03:22):
I was warm and I asked our friend if he
would mind switching shirts, and so we didn't feel like
going anywhere to do it, so we just did it
right there.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
On the floor. It was like four am in Vegas there.
It was weird or something.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Roller coaster wed in the roller coaster.

Speaker 5 (03:35):
You called me and said I just rolled a roller coaster,
and I.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
Said, yeah, I wanted to feel alive, like you know.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, I guess. I think I know where I was then,
but yeah, no, I know where you were. Yeah yeah
I was asleep. Yeah sure, I was burying him. Where
were you? I really was a.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Sleep I was too, Yeah, okay, anyway, I.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Was extremely asleep.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Scorpions have apparently been invading properties across sin City and
the suburbs. One home owner who claims to have killed
over twenty two scorpions on his property in recent months.
Suspects the deadly Southwestern species has snuck into the city
aboard palm trees imported for track homes and other desert
landscaping projects. The guys suing the Venetian, I guess he well,
I mean, he's upset about it. But here my real

(04:27):
question was, do you guys have like a hotel room?
You know how I feel about hotel rooms, But do
you guys have like a hotel room procedure like when
you and I know a lot of flight attendants and
people who travel a lot for work, they have like
a whole thing, like my flight attendant friends, and I
think some pilots too. But I think a lot of
the flight attendants I know because they're women, they have
like a thing. They'll go in the room, they check
the closet, they check the shower, they look under the bed.

(04:49):
A lot of people will check the sheets. Some people
bring their own stuff, and like they go through and
some people clean the room. Again, I get the safety
aspect to the whole thing. I also, I don't know,
there's something about going to a hotel where it's like Jesus,
take the wheel, like I'm walking in if there's someone
that's there to murder me, if there's a murderer, a killer.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
I'm dead. I'm gonna die.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
If there's you know, if there's a scorpion that's already
in bed, you know it's already made itself comfortable, I'm
probably gonna get stung by it. Like I'm not tearing
the room apart to find anything because I'm afraid I'm
gonna find stuff i didn't want to find. And the
other thing is, you guys know I'm a big like
germophobe guy. Oh CD guy, I just don't bother in
the hotels because it's like there is it is a

(05:29):
war I'll never win. Same with airplanes. You get on
an airplane, I see people like cleaning the back of
the seat or whatever. Yeah, okay, sure, maybe maybe you
got a few little germs off there, but I mean
you're the thirtieth person sitting in that seat today, Like
you're not getting it all out. So I guess when
I go to the hotel, the old people say clean
the remote, I'm like, I know what's on the remote,
Like here we go, I'm covered in it now.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
It is what it is.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
But you guys do that you go in the room
and like look under the sheets, cause this guy I
guess if he'd inspected the bed, then he would have
found this thing in there, but I don't.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
I would have slept right next to it.

Speaker 6 (06:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
Same, it's the remote for me, Like if I walk
in a hotel room and they have the little sticker
on the remote or they have it in a little
plastic bag saying this remote has been sanitized, I feel
right at home. I feel like I can trust this place.
I lay down with no problem. But if I go
in and the remote is just the regular remote, then
I feel like I got a lifestyle of a couple
of things, and.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Then I can get comfortable. So you bring lifesaw with you.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
Yeah, I'll have a little travel sized life saw or
some wet wipes.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Wow. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I just since COVID
I started doing that.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
I think for me, it's it's the air conditioning, because
nothing worse than when you're really in a hot ass
place and you come back to the room and there's
like condensation.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
Oh yeah, it says sixty, but it's not sixty sixty,
it's eighty four. No.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
That is one thing that is mandatory as I walk
right in the room and immediately put it as low
as it will possibly go because whatever it says is
not necessarily And sometimes sometimes I think, oh, you'll wake up.
It's like an igloo in there. Sometimes they're not lying
to you. But most of the time, when you say
it says sixty five, that.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Means like too.

Speaker 6 (07:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
And then there's the thing you can go.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
I've seen there's like a you know, up down, up, now, left, right,
there's a thing you can do. Yeah, you can override
the little thermostatus to make it so that it will
get even colder.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah, I don't know if that works. What are we
gonna say? I checked the Bible every time I go.
Really yeah, because as a kid.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
The one time we stayed at a hotel, I found
twenty dollars like someone someone put someone pay twenty dollars.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Collection.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
I pray that someone else Leed's money in the hotel.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
I've seen tiktoks where people check.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Like everything, because a lot of people will hide money
in a hotel room so they don't gamble it away
and then they forget it. So there's people checking like
the pillowcases and all kinds of hiding spots behind pictures.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
If the picture comes off the wall. Yeah, wow, So
I checked the Bible.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
I feel like that money was probably placed there, like
as an offering to the gods or something. You probably
you probably well, so I don't know if you were
the one who was supposed to receive that.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Count your blessing, Yeah, take your blessing.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Maybe they were hoping that the person who opened the
Bible to actually read it was going to take the money,
but you just opened it just to take the money.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
I did. I opened it and it said scanned the Bible.
You didn't even read the verse. You need read the verse? No, wow,
yeah Corinthians.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
No, they said the money is for me.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
That's Corinthians. Yeah, one, one four, free to bet on black.
Someone says a text, we stayed at the hotel recently
in Kentucky and found a used hypodermic needle above the
door frame of the bathroom. I don't know why you
were above this. This is what I'm talking about. Like
I'm not going up there and like running my fingers

(08:51):
along any surfaces that I'm pretty sure no one's ever
Oh no, yeah, other people saying that they checked the
Bible too. Someone said you should have left money.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
I would have if I the twenty would have hit
but it didn't. You don't put the twenty back, but
you wouldn't know.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
You wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
He just told a lie. You just always check the
mattress for bed bugs.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
I mean, I guess I do that, Yeah, but I've
had them three times.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
So but my thing is, I don't I don't really
want to undo the sheets because I don't want to
see what's on the mat.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
I don't really want to see.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
Well, I'm allergic, so like it's better for me to
check it right, my whole body will blow up.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Like I'm afraid of what the mattress actually looks like
in a hotel.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
And I realized there's covers.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
I just I don't know, like I know what I've
done in hotel rooms, and so I'm really not interested that.
I mean, I've done a lot of Bible s, a
lot of that. It's very intense.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Why you leave the money in the Bible?

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah, well he leaves the money on the dresser, to say,
on top of the Bible on the dresser. It was
a TikTok trend a year ago, people leaving money in there.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Why that's not a fun tid I'm not looking anything.
Hold on, Dina Hi Dina, good morning, how you doing good?

Speaker 6 (10:06):
How are you very well?

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Welcome to the show. What's going on?

Speaker 6 (10:09):
Well, when I was a kid growing up, my dad
always told us that if we stayed in a hotel room,
we were supposed to check the Bible because the Gideons,
who are the ones that placed the Bibles in the
hotel rooms, left money in the Bibles for people to
find when they.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Read the Bible. Right. But the point was, all the years.

Speaker 6 (10:29):
Of checking bibles, we've never found any money.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
So you're supposed to read it though, that's the point.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yeah, through it very well.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
That's the constitution. So you never found any money.

Speaker 6 (10:47):
We never found any money. So I'm glad to hear that.
Rufio did fine.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Thank you though, yes of course he did. Dina, Thank you,
have a good day.

Speaker 6 (10:55):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, they're gonna have a word for you in having
about that someday worked in hotels.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
Ignorant is bliss. Here's a text.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Wipe down the remote and switches. Do not use the
coffee maker in the room. Rarely cleaned, if at all.
Often it winds up with a man's bodily fluid in.

Speaker 5 (11:11):
It in the coffee why why?

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Disgusting? Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
No, the coffee makers don't come preloaded with creamy. They
don't like what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Like? What what we're what world do we live in?
When you're like, all right, I know what I'm gonna do.
I can't have anything here.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
I mean god, I always bring my own blanket and
hotel because hotel sheets and blankets are always so stiff.
I guess again, it's just it is what it is.
I'm not traveling with all that stuff. I just show
up and I'm you know what if I'm gonna.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Get Yeah, but then you're the possibility of you taking
whatever's on that bed with you.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yeah, I did, thank you. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
I yeah, So scorpions is gonna get me whatever I'm not.
