Speaker 2 (04:47):
Well until claim Buck come in here and do it.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Well, they do a live show, they don't do a podcast,
so we are still highly higher rated podcasts in them. Anyway,
I digress. Anyway, we arrive in Las Vegas and my
wife and I get off the plane. We're like, Oh,
this is where dreams are made of. This is where
you can make millions of dollars in one little spin

was some book it was about like, uh, it's a
dystopian world and they all have strings and you can

(12:15):
and so she like, some people have a day to live,

Speaker 1 (12:43):
He died, Hey, his string said it was his time
to go. So we go to We get in a
cab and we go to Lotus a CM Siam whatever
it's called a little bit off the strip, and we go.
We walk in. We got reservations. All right, we'll call
you when your table's ready. We go to the bar

(13:04):
and get a couple of drinks, fantastic drinks. Whatever we order.
They were really good.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Then every great story starts and ends with had a
couple of drinks.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yeah, And so then we go to the table and
we eat. I mean, food was so freaking good.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
You know you're a foodie, You're always gonna lock down
some good spots.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
I mean it was so good. It's off the strip,
and you know what I mean, a lot cheaper than
the strip, a lot cheaper. So we eat, we get done.
What do you want to do? And I look across
the street and there's a casino, Silver Seven's Casino.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
There's usually a couple of those casinos in Vegas.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
And I said, hey, you know, we always gamble on
the strip. We don't ever gamble off the strip. And
that casino is right there. What if that is our spot?

Speaker 2 (13:50):
I love it, dude. Your mind right now is so
open and ready for the world.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
I'm like, you know, we could have good luck here.
This could be our home casino. What if this is
the one we've been waiting for and they've just been
waiting for us and we're going to strike it rich.
And she was like, I like that idea. Let's go.
So we walk across the street to the Silver Seven's
Casino and I'm like, heck, yeah, this is about to
be awesome.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
And you'll tell us what happened after the break.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
No. We walk in, We're all right, where's that black jack?
And on the sign it says suckers come here. No,
it even says you can eat while you play.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Have a crab leg while you're getting your ass handed
to you.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
They said serving food twenty four to seven and you
can eat while you play. And I'm like, how the
hell does that work? How do you sit at the
blackjack table with a plate full of spaghetti and trying
to hit hit? No, no, I didn't say hit. I
was trying to I was I was probing to put
farmers on cheese on my my spaghetti.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Honey, is that a heart of diamonds? Oh? No, it's
a piece of my spa.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
And so we go in and we find the blackjack.
There's one blackjack table on the whole building.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
You always find the black jack. Dude, find a different game.
What about pow Gia? I wanted to play Paau poker,
but I didn't. I didn't play it that night. I
I don't know how to play it. And I'll tell
you about that. But we walk into it's the saddest
thing I've ever seen. Oh it is.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
One blackjack table in the whole place. Uh there. I
don't even think they had roulette. I didn't see roulette.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Did you tell the real name of the place.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's one guy riding around on his
scooter inside the casino.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
How was the talent?

Speaker 1 (15:51):
The talent? Oh? Man, there my.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
Wife Ray, she was the only woman in there.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
No, that It more looked like a hang out for
the homeless. That's where they went in to use the
bathroom and they kind of just hung around. Oh.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Sometimes they got a couple of quarters just rub together
for the slots.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
And I looked at my wife and she looked at me,
and she goes, yeah, I think we've seen all we
need to see here. I think we should head on
out and head back to the strip. And I'm like, yeah,
this is probably isn't gonna be our place. And then
we're walking and she goes, hey, there's a buffalo machine.
Should we try to play buffalo? I'm like, we should
try to play Buffalo. So we play Buffalo Buffalo. We

(16:41):
lose one hundred dollars. All right, cool, cool, cool. So
we're walking to the she has to go to the bathroom.
We go, she goes, oh, look this one has a
bonus feature on it. Maybe we should try.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
This one same Buffalo's I don't know there now, there
are so many varieties of Buffalo.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
I don't know which one's the good one.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Agreed. I haven't been able to actually pinpoint the one
that Baser used to win the money on because they've
made so many different variations versions. Yes, I'll pass, guys. Uh,
just make the one buffalo back in the day where
it used to go Buffalo, and then you play Now
you got Buffalo, agnite, you got Buffalo.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Stream Buffalo on the horizon, Buffalo.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
We're about to fucking buffalo up your ass.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
And so she's like, all right, let's play this one
as a bonus. It's some of the bonus. We'll try
to get the bonus. We spend two hundred more dollars
and we didn't get the bonus, and so we lost
three hundred dollars at the sorriest casino I've ever seen
in my life.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Oh, keep the lights on for another month for him.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
But we did cash out with forty cents on a
voucher and I went into wait in line to get
my forty cents.

in front of us. One of the guys was the
scooter guy.

Speaker 2 (18:52):

Speaker 2 (18:56):
I come from Vegas, not saying I'm winning, not saying
I'm losing. But I come back with damn two pants
pockets full of change. Yea, because I cash every one
of my change takes exactly.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
So we're like, we've got to be out of here.
And I get a text from Ginny, who's my friend,
her and her husband Andy. Hey, we're at the hotel
down to swing. What are you guys up to? Let's
start winning some money. I said, We're headed back to
the hotel. We'll meet you in the lobby and I'll

We're down five Hundy.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Right, you keep setting it up like something terrible or
good is going to happen, and that's what's keeping me
tuned into this podcast.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
We're down five hundy.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Oh that increased a little bit.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
No, no, oh, we lost two hundy on that first
original spin of Roulette. Then we lost three hundred at
the Silver Sevens casino, and I mean, here's the thing.
I probably paid their electric bill for the next two
months because they needed it. The Silver Sevens, they don't
how many people going in.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
There, and sometimes when you're down, it racks up pretty quick.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
Oh right, just wait. Okay. So we get back to
the hotel and my wife's like, look, it's already like
eleven thirty. She's like, I am, I'm done. I'm going
to bed.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
She's trying to cheat on you with another book.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
And I said, okay, all right, you go to bed.
She goes I feel I thought.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
You were damn sleep, but are you fucking writing again?
I busted you cheating on me with another book.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
And I'm like all right, and she goes you sure
you don't mind. I was like, no, it's fine, I do.
I mean I may hang out for a little bit.
She goes, you mean, you're gonna go gamble with Ginny and Andy.
And I'm like, well, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what it means.
I'm gonna go gamble with them.

Speaker 2 (20:39):

Speaker 1 (20:41):
And so Ginny Andy are like, hey, let's go play
some black jack. I'm like, all right, cool, and they
picked the table. Sit down, all right, here we go.
That's where we get it back, get it back buying

How many more strings have they pulled in the book?
Anybody else die? Well?

Speaker 1 (25:10):
She finished that book and she moved on to another

and I take a little nap. She comes up and
she's like, well, what do you want to do? And
I'm like, I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
I mean see the fountain.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
And then I get a text from Jenny and Andy.
What are you guys up to?

Speaker 2 (25:26):
So they were down all weekend?

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah, okay they were. They were there for the iHeart Festival.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Yeah. I didn't know about Jenny's ice cream.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Yeah, no, Jenny, Jenny and Andy are friends. They come
every year and so it's Genny's birthday on the twenty first.
That's their her birthday celebration. Every year they go to
Vegas for the iHeart Festival and we hang out. Uh
so I'm all right, well, you guys want to be birthday.
You guys want to meet up and you know, gamble
a little bit.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
No, let's meet up and talk catch up about life.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yeah, so we go and play black jack. I buy
him for two hundred. I don't win a single hand
for that too.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
H dude, what dude, did you soak your hands in
ice water? What the you are? Ice cold? I've never
seen anything like You're usually got the touch of midas man.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
Yeah. And so I'm like, all right, well, you guys
want to go to the sports book and play some
you know, I got to place raise ten game parlay.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Thank you for doing that.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
By the way, and by the way, we did go
I forgot to tell you this. We did go to
the sports book because I wanted to bet on the
Jets Patriots game. And when we walk in, they're like, oh,
do you have the app? Do you want to sign
up for the app?

Speaker 2 (26:40):
Like? No, I want to go to a window like
they did in the seventies.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
You can bet up to two hundred and fifty dollars
on your first bet, and if you lose, we'll give
you two hundred and fifty dollars in bet credits. My
wife's like, oh, I'll sign up, love it. So she
puts two hundred and fifty in her account and she
puts two hundred. As she's signing up, I walk over
there and I'm like, oh, that horse race starts in

(27:04):
four minutes. Let me watch these horses walk out. Ooh
the seven horse different drum. I like the way he walks. Uh,
can I take twenty dollars on different drum to win? Please?
And and they're off down the straightaway and around the
final turn down the final straight away, seven different drum

(27:27):
is pulling away for the wind. One won sixty five
dollars on different drum. While my wife was signing up
for the account.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Oh, I thought she put the two fifty on it.
I thought you were gonna tell me it was all
one back, all the money you lost.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
No, but I said, put two fifty on the jets
minus six.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
Why with three two hundred and fifty dollars, why would
you not go into exotic try and pick the correct score.
I don't give a fuck. It's free money. You get
credit if you lose.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Right, But why not just win one bet and get
the two hundred and thirty dollars you get.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
There's different ways of thinking about it.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Correct The Jets cover easily, So we win that two
hundred and thirty. So we're on our way back. You know,
we were on our way back till Friday when we
I bought him for two hundred, didn't win another hand.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah, so that was rewind. Now we're back in.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
Now we're back at present time. So we took us
down a pen.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Tell me about horse Sorry won fucking sixty dollars, but
you don't give a shit. Tell me if you won
all your money or lost your rats. Ray, I did
win a horse race, lucky drum, Holy hell fits.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Yeah, And so I lost that two hundred and so
I was like, you know, I'm gonna go play some
roulette and I take out one hundred dollars, let me
buy in, and I'm putting my you know, five dollars
on every number because I'm trying to play it slow,
trying to play it slow where I can you know,
play those five numbers five times, because twenty five bucks

(28:56):
a spin, four spins the hit any of my numbers?

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Are you playing with? Jenny and Mark?

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Now, Jenny and Andy and my wife are still sitting
at the blackjack table. They're still in. But you felt
like the juju was bad. I lost two hundred, didn't
win a hand. Yeah, So go over to the roulette
table and I play my numbers red twelve, black, seventeen,
red eighteen, red nineteen, red twenty one. Play those for
four spins in a row. Don't hit all right? What

(29:25):
is going? Great?

Speaker 2 (29:26):
But that's nostalgic. He does it for reasons. You guys
all know why. And sometimes you got to move away
from that strategy.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah. I go back over to the blackjack table. Wife like, oh,
where'd you go? Roulette? And I'm like, yeah, She goes,
how'd it go? And I was that's been going all weekend?

Speaker 2 (29:40):

right now. Yeah, so you didn't have your aura anymore.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
I was trying. Man.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
I let me just say this. I ran into this
lunch guy at two am about three years ago, hadn't
won a thing, and he's just sitting there putting clicking
on me and baser screen beer on a heater, and
you got some guy that just dipped himself in the
Antarctic circle. I'm like, buddy, get away from me. You
couldn't win right now if you did a coin toss.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yeah, you're right. And so then I gotta go back
and get ready. Gotta gotta go to the concert. But
me and my wife need to eat dinner. It's about
five o'clock and I gotta be over there like six fifteen. Oh,

Oh, you always know when you come back. Guess what
mine was? Nineteen sixteen, dude, I didn't know that the
whole first night when it was very valuable.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
There's a point in the hallway where it split. It
goes left or right, and I knew I went right.
I knew to go right, but I didn't remember the number.
And I wasn't gonna call my wife and wake her up,
But hey, what number are we? So in my drunken
stupor that Friday night as or that Thursday night, as
I'm walking down the hall, I'm just tapping different doors

(35:35):
to see if it turns green.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
Strip is a disaster.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
I did it on ten doors, just trying to get.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
People heard that way.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
No, No, I did it real quiet.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
It still makes it in my in my head.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
I did it real quiet. Oh it does make a
click if it's no, I mean from the inside. He
goes inging, Oh didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
And you're some dudes with his chick, some six six
guy mean, move the fuck's in my door.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yeah. So we're it's like one am on Saturday or
Friday night, and I'm like, we gotta go. We gotta
go back my wife. We get in the car and
I was like, no, we need to walk. Let's just walk.
I don't want to I don't want to take a cab.
I just want to walk anytime.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
It's well, no, it's not that. It's one of those
where you're trying to save every last pity. You don't
want to spend another cab.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
The kidd he's empty. I'm depressed.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
Did you guys go to the fountains?

Speaker 1 (36:26):
No? No, we just went back to bed. Man We
went to bed. I was like, all right, that's it
into the night and Saturday wake up and I'm like,
all right, college football, all right, should we go do
some No, we don't have any money to go, but
I can't go play after the black jack, So I said,
you want to go to breakfast, Let's go to breakfast. Hey,
you know what I mean. I don't have any money
to gamble. We might as well go sit by the pool.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
Now you're doing all the Vegas stuff. Go see the
Flamingos at the Flamingos.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Yeah, So we go to the pool. We hang out
for like two and a half three hours at the pool.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Go see the volcano at the mirage.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
Uh. And I'm sitting there just checking my scores. Right,
is my beckonna hit? My beckingna hit, my beckingna hit?
And how disheveled I was. I accidentally I meant to
bet FSU and Cal under forty four, and I accidentally
bet James Madison versus North Carolina under.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
And it wasn't even close to under. It was over
two hundred.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
James Madison over went over the over by themselves in
the first half. Like I was looking on the ticket
and hit, well they were, they were right above each other.
And so I said the wrong number, Oh my gosh. Yeah,
And so I was like, damn man, like that's how
bad it was. And so we sat at the pool

(37:42):
and then once the sun came, like got over us.
It was just baking us. Let's go back to the room,
you know what I mean, Like, I don't have any
time to gamble because don't have any money. So I
went back to the room, took a nap, I watched
I had under forty four in the Michigan USC game
and I walked USC throw a pick six and that's

(38:03):
when I knew, oh my god, I'm not gonna hit
the under. I'm not gonna hit the under. Then it's
forty four exactly, it's twenty four to twenty.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
I was gonna say it had to have been right
next to the.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
Twenty four to twenty. So it's a push. I'm gonna
get my money back. Michigan scores with twenty three seconds
to go in the game.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
Dude, you're rock bottom and you're still digging.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
I mean, so I'm just like, great, hey, ray, can
I have a couple of bucks?

Speaker 2 (38:30):
You got a wire?

Speaker 1 (38:31):
And then but at least I hit the Tennessee game.
I told you guys, that was easy money. I ended
up betting the with the money my wife won on
her app, I bet the FSU under that hit. There
was a couple other I hit, so I had a
little bit of money back.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
So the app could you cash out there?

Speaker 1 (38:50):
Well, yeah, you can cash out and just get it back,
but yes, And so I was able to get a
little bank roll again because some of my my college
football games hit.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
I'm like, all right, it sounds like your wife gave
you a banker.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
No, No, those were the I mean, I hit one
on the FSU one, but I won on the Tennessee
game and a couple others, and I cash those out,
and I'm like, all right, at the concert Saturday, we're
gonna turn it around because Saturday was Genny's birthday. So
the twenty first, and we're gonna go hit the tables.
So Chris Martin gets up in place and the weekend

(39:24):
and we're like, all right, here we go. Where are
we going? And Ginny's like, you know what, New York?
New York wasn't good to us. MGM Park hadn't been
good to us. Ari, you hadn't been good to us.
Let's get in a cab. Let's go to Planet Hollywood.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Okay, I like that one.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
I said, Planet Hollywood it is. And I'll tell you
what happened. Right after this.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
I my bet. We're just saying it lost. I lost
the first game, the very first one, and I'd been
cleaned out. I had thirty dollars. I got cleaned out
on Friday at my house. You can gamble legally in Tennessee,
so I said, ef it, dude. I didn't gamble all weekend.
So all I had was a ten dollars miracle ten
team parlay. And the very first game wasn't even close.

(40:07):
Clemson beat North Carolina State one hundred to ten. Yeah,
I mean it wasn't from the jump.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
It was twenty one. It was twenty one nothing in
the first quarter.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
Yes, I mean I was like, oh, I throw away
that Betty ticket. Yeah yeah, I think I actually ended
up doing pretty good.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
I have no idea. I didn't even look at it.
After I saw NC State didn't cover the twenty and
a half, I was like, well, no need to look
at that. I mean, I know the sandwich just didn't
work because NC State lost in Tennessee. Law or the
Titans loss, so the the two buns they lost. I
didn't think about that anyway. So we're like, all right,
let's go to play in Hollywood. We get out of
the cab and we take the escalator up and we're like,

(40:45):
oh yeah, can you guys feel that vibe. Let's feel
that vibe. Let's feel that vibe. Du buy in. Nothing going,
nothing going. When couple hands lose more hands, win a hand,
lose three hands, well there goes that one hundred dollars. Cool,

(41:08):
all right, crap. I think I'm gonna go over and
play Roulette. So I go to Roulette, play some numbers,
play three spins, Roulette, lose that money? All right? I
go over. My wife's like Roulette again and let me
go I love the Attitudelette again. She goes, let me

(41:32):
let me guess you didn't hit No, didn't.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
That's the worst, you know, when you gotta look at
your wife and tell her you lost the buddies. You
just gave you absolute worst, honey. Remember I told you
about that craps lock. I told you about Yeah it lost.
Can I have another hundred?

Speaker 1 (41:48):
Yeah? And I'm like, all right, cool, cool.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
We always put the money, No, never mind, we don't
do that.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
You always put in the mattress.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
No man, no, we don't know. Did you ever get
money and then go put it back in the room?

Speaker 1 (42:02):
No?

Speaker 2 (42:02):
Okay, So it was one of those trips.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
No no, no. On Saturday, as we were walking to the concert,
we walked by the cashier and my wife goes, what
is that.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
We hadn't been there all weekend? Uh.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
So I was like, okay, all right, yeah, that's really funny.
So I was like, yeah, I didn't hit anything. I
walked and she was like, well, me and Jenny are
still playing blah blah blah. Andy at this point has
lost his money, goes, I'm just gonna go get a
burger Man. Not great, I'm gonna I'm gonna go. I'm
gonna go there. He goes, this is terrible. I'm just
gonna get a Gordon Ramsey Hamburger.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
Because you know, in that moment you'll be happy. Yeah,
and your money's not gonna just go away. It's actually
gonna be used on something. Yeah, substance. So I walk around.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
Then I find some double deck block jack and I'm like, oh,
maybe that's what I need to turn my love around.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
Hi? Is it a double show where you both show
your cards? Type of black jay? So I go European
black jack. Honey, I found it.

Speaker 1 (43:03):
I tell my wife and Jenny. I'm like, hey, I
found double deck deck blackjackets. I think that I think
this is what we need to turn the momentum around.
And we go over there and I mean, we're sitting
there and Jenny keeps the losers. She goes, this is
the worst Vegas trip I've ever had. I mean, nothing
has gone right me. I start hitting, okay, start hitting,

(43:26):
start hitting on double deck. Yeah, and I'm like, uh oh,

Speaker 2 (43:37):
Yeah, I can feel it.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
Big hand. Dealer twenty one, okay, all right, well that's
all right. I's turning around. Turn around here. Let's go
like half of what that bet was. Dealer twenty seventeen.
All right, cool, cool, cool. You know what dealer hadn't
busted in three hands. Let's go one hundred on this hand.

(44:00):
Dealer nineteen, me eighteen.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
They should have to hit on eighteen.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
They should have to hit on every damn number until
they bust ray.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
It's a soft seventeen.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
And they I lose my money. I'm all out.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
Wait.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
You were hot, though, I thought, and I thought I
was gonna remain hot.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
Well, those flames got put out pretty quick.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
And I get up and they go. My wife and
Genny like where are you going? I was like to
hang myself, like no, and my wife's like, you know,
it's okay. If we just go to bed, it's okay.
We don't have to gamble.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
Yes, that's always an option.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
That is always an option. And I'm like all right,
you know, like, hey, I'm done, I'm gonna. I'm gonna
and Jenny lose her money and my wife's like, well,
I got ten dollars left, might as well play that
last hand. And she loses, and I'm like, oh, this

investment I've had all damn weekend. He goes, I've never
been happier. He goes, I got truffle fries, a burger
that was delicious, and this beer was fantastic. He goes
f Vegas all by himself. He got an ROI all

(45:24):
by himself. He's like, this burger was the best value
I've gotten all freaking weekend. And we just sat there
and looked at each other and we're like, isn't it
crazy that we had no ups? There was no ups,
there was no like, no, oh so exciting, and then
oh you go down, then you go up. It was
just straight down. The entire trip, brutal, straight down. Oh man,

(45:50):

You're gonna have to come and get that.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
You want to get this, you better pry out of
my damn hand. You better pry it out.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
Of my damn hand. There is something, There is something
empowering and leaving Vegas with a twenty a forty of
sixty and just being like, you know what, you didn't
take every last drop from me.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
Yeah, And so we go down. We get in the cam.
The CAB's like, where to and I was like, the hoover, damn,

Sometimes you get the cab driver who's motivational on the
Sunday drive.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
Well, the cab driver's like, even though.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
You lose, even though you lose your money, he was like, European,
even though you lose your money, you still have your
love for each other in your life. You don't forget
that if even if you lose, some inspirational guy that's

I was not in the state of mind. And my
wife's like, really, you shouldn't joke about that. You don't
know where people are at, like you shouldn't. And I
was like, I know, it was bad joke. It was

Speaker 2 (48:50):
It was for her birthday.

Speaker 1 (48:52):
Yeah, And we went up and kind of said good night,
and we went to bed.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
Man, that's how the story ends.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
And we wake up on Sunday morning. My wife's like,
are you gonna go bet NFL games? I said no,
why would I? She goes, well, you love to bet NFL.
Great woman, And I said, yeah, come on, get up.
Have you seen everything I've touched? What has happened to it?
She goes, yeah, but this could be your moment. She

(49:25):
pulls out a wedding picture.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
This is the man I'm married. Yeah, not this man, honey,
I've got two hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
And I was like, no, I'm not doing it.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
Do you have your color back? Are you still ghostly?

Speaker 1 (49:37):
No? I'm back. I'm back. I'm back to normal. Normal.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
I'm back, dude, because even more depressing if you're walking
around Vegas looking like a ghost the whole time.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
No, No, I'm back dude, I'm really back. I'm good,
I'm happy. So we just lay around, I watch a
little football, and then she leaves and then I'm headed
to the cab and I have my suitcase, I had
my backpack on, and I'm walking by a roulette table

(50:07):
and I'm like, do I really need to go home
with this two hundred dollars in my pocket?

Speaker 2 (50:14):
The vices of Vegas are unmatched?

Speaker 1 (50:17):
And I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna go to
this roulette table. And I walk up to the roulette
table and I realized, who whoa? This has three greens?
Not doing this one? And I see one around the
like just a little walk away table over that has
two greens. I'm I screw it and I buy them
in my two hundred dollars. And I usually have my
betting strategy that I use and it hadn't been working.

(50:39):
So I remember that about twelve thirteen years ago, there
was a sales girl in Austin. Her name was Katie.
She goes to Vegas a lot, or she did back then,
and she was like, this is what I like to
bet on roulette and she drew me a diagram ray.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
He literally has the diagram on a ripped up piece
of notebook paper.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
Ray, I have never bet her bet in thirteen years,
but this has been in my wallet the whole time.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Ray. It's called the Eurothean method. So I bought the
stupid as methods.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
Yeah, people have all these damn methods. So I was like, man,
I'm gonna try her method. So you put thirty dollars
on ten eleven twelve like those three okay, you split
twenty three, twenty four for twenty dollars, and then you
put it on thirty one, thirty two, thirty four, and

(51:32):
thirty five right in the middle of the four corners
for fifty dollars. I was like, my method hadn't been working.
Let me pull this piece of paper out. And I
pull it out and I put those damn money there
for one last spin on the rouletteheel and it hits

(51:53):
thirty two.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
Was that one of our numbers?

Speaker 1 (51:55):
I had thirty one, thirty two, thirty four to thirty
five the four corners. I hit a damn one and
she passes me a stack full of chips, and I'm like,
oh my god, I'm back.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
You just had to lose the life.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
So then I'm like, let me play my numbers. Start
playing Red twelve, Black seventeen, Red eighteen, Red nineteen, Red
twenty one, two spins later.

Speaker 3 (52:27):
Red eighteen Red eighteen. In Flying Girl, Here we Go,
he's been a cook and I stick around for l
them cook. I'm like, all right, you know, because.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
After I hit that first one, she goes, you're gonna
play for a little bit, and I was like, because
she was gonna give me all black chips, I was like, yeah,
I guess I'll play a little bit. So she gave
me three blacks in the stack of the other color
chips ten and I'm like and so then I hit
red eighteen. I'm like, oh my god, here we.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
Go, Ray, I got the banana, Pepper's coming, the chocolates,
the blue.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
I lose three spins in a row. I'm like, man, honey,
I should cash out. I'll do it one more time.
Put it on my numbers. And this guy standing next
to me, he starts talking about his wife, walks up.
He goes pick a number, honey. She goes, I don't
know how to play this, and she he goes either
DEWI and he takes one hundred dollars chip and he

(53:21):
puts it on Black seventeen and it hits Black seventeen.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
Three thousand, six hundred.

Speaker 1 (53:28):
Oh my god, I had ten dollars on Black seventeen,
three hundred and fifty dollars. And I mean, I'm just
going this, dude, Wow, whoa. And I mean, it's so
much for not knowing how to play, huh, you know.
And then then the guy to my left, like, yeah, man,
he goes, what's crazy? He goes, in a calendar year,
I bet eighty thousand dollars every calendar year, and I'm like,

(53:52):
what the who the is this guy? Uh? He's like,
the most I've ever lost to that, like at the
end of the year, the most I've ever negative loss,
eight thousand dollars. He goes, the most I've ever won
thirteen thousand dollars positive. He goes like this trip right now,
I'm down fifteen thousand.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
And I'm like, what that does it sound like?

Speaker 1 (54:14):
In my hand, I'm going, eighty thousand dollars is more
than most people making a year. Bro. And of course
now I'm sitting here going why didn't I ask him?
Can I ask you? What the do you do?

Speaker 2 (54:24):
Also, you know you can invest that eighty thousand, and
you'll make yourself money without having a gamble. There's ways
to do that.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
And I should have asked him what he does, but
I didn't, roth Ira Ray and then I lost a
couple spins in a row, and I said, you know what,
Oh man, I'm good. Now I'm go ahead and cash out.
I won one k back Ray. That's good, that's good. Yeah,
wasn't a total. That was my high, man, that was

(54:52):
my high the weekend. And then I went and watched
a little bit of sportsbook, watched a little bit of
the football, then went upstairs like I'm gonna eat some lunch.
Then I really, I don't have time to eat lunch.
I to take it to go and head to the airport. Man.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
Yeah, and see Vegas doesn't see Ray sex color income
occupation because the most fun you had is when you
were by yourself at a casino with your suitcase. Yep,
that's that's sad.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
And thank you to Katie for this.

Speaker 2 (55:23):
That's why Vegas is a bad bad woman. Lady Luck
is a bad girl because you didn't get to experience
out with your wife, with Nick and Mark and Jenny.
You didn't get to experience out with anybody but some
random guy who drops eighty K a year.

Speaker 1 (55:39):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
Vegas is a crazy, crazy place.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
It's weird. It's weird. Your highest moment comes on Sunday
when you're heading out the door because they want you
to come back.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
Random dudes. Yeah, well, we don't know how to play
this either.

Speaker 1 (55:53):
Okay, everybody says that, or and Ray. I mean, so
I get to the airport, man, I get on the
plane and I fly home, and then when I got
off the plane, something went down. I tell you, right
after this.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
Yeah, how much more does this roller coaster got?

Speaker 1 (56:12):
I mean, I'm feeling great. I cashed out for you know,
I made a thousand on that last roulette, hitting those numbers.
It felt so good. Get on the plane, I'm see
twenty seven boarding lucky enough. Got a window and I
get my bag and I walk out, and I got
to get the shuttle to the car, and I see
the shuttle pulling away and I'm like, oh no, no, no, no,

(56:33):
don't leave me, don't leave me, and I wave my hand.
He stops, not even at the bus stop. Lets me on.
That's why I always do VIP, And I'm like, hell, yeah,
let's go we're driving, and we passed the turn to
my parking lot where I parked, and he pulls into
Lot Sea and I'm like, son, up a bitch, I'm

(56:53):
on the wrong bus.

Speaker 2 (56:58):
How dude, all you had to do is remember one letter.

Speaker 1 (57:01):
Ray, I wasn't paying attention. I saw the bus just
pulling away from the stop, and I was like, I
just don't want to miss it. I don't want to
miss it, and I just waved my hand. I got on.
So then I'm in. I got two decisions to make.
Do I just sit on the bus like an idiot
and ride it all the way back to the airport,
or do I say, oh, man, there's my stop and
get off and just walk to Lot B.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
I wonder how close they are? They walkable?

Speaker 1 (57:25):
In my head, they were walkable. Ray got it. So
I got off the bus. Ray, it's about a mile.
What is happening from Lot Sea to Lot B with
the suitcase? With a suitcase? Eight o'clock at night and
there's no damn sidewalks. I'm trudging through bushes, I'm going

(57:49):
through the grass. Finally, I put my suitcase in the
street and I'm rolling it as I walk on the
side of the grass so it can roll. And then
I got cars honking at me because I'm blocking traffic
with my suitcases. I walk. Then I get to a
spot where I got to run across four lanes of
traffic to get over to the go underneath.

Speaker 2 (58:09):
The bridge exactly where you are, and.

Speaker 1 (58:11):
Then you gotta go left down underneath the tunnel. And
not only that, once I get to Lot B, it's
not like I parked in the front of Lot B.
I parked in the very back left ass corner. I mean,
sweat is just pouring down me as I am making
my way. Man.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
Man, that is a moment you'll never forget for the rest.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
Never forget for the rest of my life. And I
walk and I finally get to the back and I
get in the car and I turn on that ac
and I'm like, the trip from Hell is over. The
trip from Hell is absolutely over.

Speaker 2 (58:45):
See some people go to Vegas and never make their
way out. Man, you're one of the lucky ones.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
But the one positive at the airport I did see
was this chick walk by me.

Speaker 2 (58:55):
Right and she had her hangers out.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
No, she had some hangers and her shirt said blow
job queen. And I said, how much. Where were you
before I got married? Would you like to meet my friend? Arnold?
Is all I could think. I was like, Hey, who
the hell, where's that? Like, who advertises?

Speaker 2 (59:19):
That's unbelieva, it's even allowed, that's so vulgar.

Speaker 1 (59:22):
I'm like, wow. And she's just walking around like it's normal,
Like she's smiling and and I'm gonna say this, she
wasn't ugly. So I made a call to my wife.
I said, hey, you know, I had a bad weekend.
You know, do you think it would be okay if
I Oh, man.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
Dude, that was great, even though it was a bad rollercoaster.
For the most part, it was at least one high.

Speaker 1 (59:46):
There was finally a little bit we climbed up a
little bit, but for the most part, it was just
an absolute disaster. Disaster.

Speaker 2 (59:53):
Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (59:54):
It was that cold, that cold man for me, Ginny
Andy wife, nobody could win it is bad man. But hey,
was this?

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
Sense is like, how did our big boss do? He?

What did you hear about Sarah? Yeah, she won a corvette.
There's always some story. Yeah, or it's you know, like

four crew. We lost. There's a blood bath out there.
