Episode 157: Strange New Tourist Tech in Vegas!

came here. It's open to everybody. And of course, one of the fun things about being in Las Vegas is that you do get opportunities to see some of the latest, greatest, most groundbreaking tech out there in the entertainment business. And you know, I'm sure there are a number of places like that around the world. I imagine Tokyo is like that, but here in the US, it's pretty hard to compete

with Las Vegas. And also, you know, a lot of people they think of coming to Vegas as just being on the strip, and for those who live here, you do everything you can to avoid the strip most of the time because it's just too busy, it's too expensive. There's a ton of great stuff to do all around the outskirts of Las Vegas, and not just gambling. I mean a lot of hiking and beautiful scenery. I mean

they're shooting movies around here. You would be amazed if you've never really looked into what is available on the outskirts of Vegas. But anyway, for this show, I figured I I found myself kind of wrapped up in a situation where I was on the strip for days recently, and I want to tell you what the latest greatest stuff is. First off, some are calling this the eighth Wonder of the world. Have you heard of the Sphere

and Las Vegas. It just opened this month October of twenty twenty three, and basically, if you are driving anywhere near the Vegas Strip, you can look out twenty four to seven and see this gigantic ball. It's a building. Okay, it's a huge building, but it's shaped like a ball, and it's sitting off the side of the strip next to the Venetian and the entire outside of it is covered with LEDs and so it is. It's I think

it's the largest LED screen in the world. And they are always putting weird and interesting images on the outside of this ball. So just in terms of a visual spectacle, anywhere you are in Vegas, you'll look over there and at first you'd think you're seeing the sun rising or the moon or something like that, but then they have all these like abstract designs that they'll put on it,

and it's just a magnificent looking thing. But when you go inside there, it actually has a theater within with eighteen thousand, six hundred seats and there's a lobby that's got robots that have AI and holograms. And I'm going to tell you about all that stuff in a second, because I was one of the first people in the world to get to go into the Sphere. This was

just like a couple days ago. And see what the big deal is because they've spent the company that built it spent around two and a half billion dollars with a billion with a B, around two and a half billion dollars over the past few years to create this one of the largest, most amazing venues in the world. It's so big that the statue of Liberty can fit

inside with the pedestal. Okay, so the statue of Liberty with the pedestal can go inside this thing and with room to spare with with like another fifty feet or whatever. I'm going to bring up the stats and I'm gonna h U two has been playing there. They debuted it this month with U two playing, and it's sold out, like you know you can imagine. So all right, let me just tell you real quick some of the basic stats on this thing called Sphere. Look this up on

the internet. It says here it is an eighteen thousand, six hundred c auditorium marketed for its immersive video and audio capabilities, which include a sixteen K Yeah, you think four K is impressive, sixteen K resolution, wrap around interior led screen speakers with beam forming and wave filled synthesis technologies, and four D physical effects. I'll get back to the speaker thing in a minute. But the sphere is three

hundred and sixty six feet high. That's one hundred and twelve meters and five hundred and sixteen feet wide at its broadest point, that's one hundred and fifty seven meters. And this thing, I mean like they're all these all these like fact sheets out there that tell you about just how big it is and how amazing it is. And it says that they used the fourth largest crawler crane in the world to build this thing. They had to get cranes to build the crane, and it took

eighteen days to assemble it. The clarity of the screen on the outside and inside of this thing is one hundred times clearer than today's best HDTVs. The screen inside let's see. I'm not sure if it's the inside one or the outside, but it says the screen covers an area larger than three football fields. Everything is programmable. Here's

what's interesting about this beam forming audio technology. Basically, they have something like one hundred and fifty thousand speakers inside the auditorium within the sphere, and these speakers are so advanced that they can target your actual individual seat, so that if you have got an audience full of people from all over the world, then it if you're watching a movie of some kind in there, it can beam the language that you speak to your seat and only

you will hear that. So one guy could be sitting there in his seat listening to the dialogue in English, the person to his left is listening to it in Mandarin Chinese, the person to the right is listening to it in Spanish, and each person only hears the language that that person understands. There's no cross. It's absolutely astounding how they have been able to do all this. This is the sphere, and you know the thing is everything

is so busy in Vegas right now. They have the Formula One race coming up, The Super Bowl is going to be here in February. There are all these new big hotels opening, the Fountain Blue with the MSG Sphere, the Durango, all this new stuff is opening. People who live around here only complaint. They're like, this is bad. The traffic is just terrible, atrocious. The road construction is insane.

I went down there. Of course, here in Las Vegas, one of the biggest companies that owns a bunch of the casinos is Caesar's Entertainment, the current incarnation of Caesar's. They not only owned Caesar's Palace, but they own Hera's, the Link, the Paris Planet, Hollywood, the Flamingo. I mean,

they own a bunch of stuff. And earlier this year, I was at Caesar's Palace and I was doing some gambling, and I guess they liked what they saw for one reason or another, and they sent me an offer, and they said, mister Warren, we are inviting you to participate in a slot tournament is Caesar's slot tournament? Do you know how a slot tournament works? I'd never been invited to participate and one before. Well, okay, we're gonna come

up on a break here soon. When we come back, I'm gonna tell you what a slot tournament is, and what it was like for me to go through a slot tournament experience, and what all the little catches and stuff are that you might want to know about. But then I'm going to get back to this strange and amazing glimpse of the future, the technology inside the sphere. But that's not all. Once I got on a roll, I was just like, I want to just go see

what all the new futuristic tech is in Vegas. And so I ended up going to a movie prop museum, and yes, I bought something. What do you think I bought? What do you think is a part of my collection in my living room right now? I swear I could sell tickets to my living room. I'll tell you all about that here shortly. Goodness, it's one of those shows.

Too much to talk about so little time. By the way, amazingly, miraculously, our little dog is still alive, and I'm telling you it's absolutely amazing, but I'm sorry to say that I don't know if I'll be able to report that the

next time I record this podcast. She wants to be with us, and we want her to be with us for at least a few more years, but this cancer she has is very, very aggressive, and I just want to thank you again for all of your prayers and your supports and your manifestation thoughts, and just remember, if you want to help us, keep praying, and please go to my website Joshua Pewarren dot com by something from the Curiosity Shop for yourself or for a loved one.

a lot or you lose a lot. They want you to keep coming back because the people who designed the casino are mathematicians, and all they believe is if you

keep playing long enough, you're eventually going to lose. It never crosses their mind, well, this person might come back and win so much money they clean us out because they don't believe in anything but statistics and the law of averages, and so you never know when you're going to get an invite to be part of a special promotion because you either win too much or you lose too much, whatever it is. But you know, Caesarus decided to invite me to do this tournament. They said, we

will give you a free room for three nights. The tournament was actually going to be at Planet Hollywood, but they said that I couldn't stay at Planet Hollywood, so I had to pick another hotel. So I picked the Link, which is not too far away. I just because I'd never been to the Link, so it kind of sucked right off the bat that you couldn't stay at the

place where the tournament was going to be. And I guess before I continue, I should clarify again if you have no idea what a slot tournament is, because it sounds like one of the dumbest, silliest concepts ever, and it really kind of is. Basically, what they do is they assign you a time to show up and register and then they say, okay, we have this big bank of slot machines here and they are all turned to tournament mode, meaning that it cost you nothing to participate.

You do not spend one penny. The machines only sit there and rack up points instead of dollars, And so they assign you a machine along with a bunch of other people, and they might give you a round which lasts anywhere from three minutes up to ten minutes, depending on the type of machine, And in my case, it was a ten minute round, and all you do is just pound the spin button as many times as you

can in that ten minute period. Now, I've seen other slot tournaments where they have some extra stuff, like they may have some symbols on the screen that you have to touch to get bonuses and stuff, but in this particular case, these were like old school double diamond machines. You sit down, you get ten minutes, and you just pound that button, and at the end of that ten minutes,

whoever it gets the most points wins. And this was a one hundred and fifty thousand dollars slot tournament, meaning that whoever won the tournament, whoever got the most points during the tournament, would get one hundred and fifty thousand

dollars or or something big. Maybe it was. They might not get the whole hundred and fifty on it, but they would get like at least fifty thousand dollars in free play put on their player's card, meaning that you could go into the casino and you basically get to gamble fifty thousand dollars or whatever for free, you know, on the house for seventy two hours. So that's how that that's how it works. They pay you in player points. I will tell you right off the bat that, Okay,

it's true. They did give me three free nights stay, and it was a good deal. If I didn't live in Vegas, it would have been a really good deal. But I just came back to my house every night. You know, we're dealing with a sick dog here, and I didn't feel like packing your bag. But it was kind of cool to have a base camp on the strip. Still had to pay a resort fee, but it wasn't that bad. I mean, it was still you know, it was a good deal to have a free room for

three nights. But I felt that was a little bit misled because it turns out that I thought, you know, maybe I could just like show up one day and register and then come back the next day and play, and that would be in it. This turned into a

three day thing. So I had to show up one morning and register, and then show show up the next morning and do and then show up the third morning and do round two, and then wait around all day until nine o'clock on that last night to go to a kiosk and pop my card in and see if I had won anything. So if I had known in advance, again, I'd never done one of these before. If I'd known it was going to be that time consuming it was going to eat up three days of my time on

the strip, I would not have done it. I would go do a slot tournament again if everything could be done one day, because it was pretty fun. And look, so you go there, you sit down, they say on your marks, get set, go, and you know it's ultimately about how lucky you are on the machine, I guess. But so I did this for three days, and then I went that night and I popped my player's card in to see how much money I won. And I'm going to tell you how much money I won from

this slot turn at the end of the show. Yes, I'm gonna make you wait on that. But there also is a twist ending that comes after that. I've had a lot of twist endings lately. I'm not trying to do that. It just that's just the way my life goes. So anyway, that's why that I was. I was even down there around the strip right now, and so that's why I said to Lauren, you know what, we're gonna be there doing this slot tournament, so we may as well go see the sphere. All right, So let's get

back to the sphere. Uh. For one thing, the whole area around the outside of the Sphere is a cluster, you know what. Okay, the parking and all that. They can't taxis can't even drop you off properly. If you're gonna go to the Sphere, your best bet is to go to the Venetian and then walk over these like skywalks and stuff from the Venetian to the Sphere, and it takes for It's very very long. It's actually quite strenuous.

It's very uncomfortable. And then finally when you get to outside the lobby where you have to go through security, I think we stood there for a good forty five minutes before they would let us in. So right off the bat, it was it was a pain just to get into the Sphere, and we actually showed up like an hour early to see if maybe we could get an advantage to kind of get in ahead of the crowds,

and they're like, nope, you gotta wait, you know. So, yeah, if you're gonna go, that's my advice to you go to the Venetian and start really early and walk through there, and then you're going to stand in the line for forty five minutes and it sucks, all right. So then once you get into the lobby, the lobby has this huge, big, soaring ceiling and there are all these escalators that take

you up to whatever level you're gonna be at. You watch the show and it turns out that like right now, yes, U two is performing live some nights, but the other nights they just have a movie that they show there and it's called Postcard from Earth. And this was a movie that was shot specifically for the sphere by filmmaker Darren Aronofsky. And he's done movies in Hollywood like Pie, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, The Wrestler, Black Swan,

most recently The Well. He's a very highly regarded filmmaker and so they sent him around the world to shoot this amazing fifty minute kind of documentary thing using technology that could actually be presented properly inside the sphere, because

when you go into the sphere, it's the screen. There is one of a I'll get back to them, all right, So in the lobby, because they make you hang out in the lobby for like I don't know, an hour or maybe almost an hour before they start letting you be seated in the theater for the show that you came for. And this cost us for we didn't get the best seats. The best seats in the house were like two hundred and fifty dollars a person, and I was like, I can't pay two hundred and fifty dollars

to watch a fifty minute movie. I mean, I just couldn't bring myself to do that. But I got some pretty good seats for like eighty nine dollars a person and right on the end of a rope because I don't want to sit in the middle of her roads. I'm a kind of a big guy. It's too claustrophobic. So we got some good I thought we got some excellent seats, but still, you know, you're talking two hundred bucks for two people to sit there and watch a

movie for fifty minutes. Uh so when you get into the lobby, all the drinks in food cost a fortune. Of course, the first thing you notice is the holograms, and Laren and I started laughing because they spent two and a half billion dollars making this thing, and the holograms were just those holograms that you can buy on the internet that are fans. They're literally fans. They have spinning blades with LEDs. Now. Look, they're still cool. I own some of those and we even use them in

the Creepy Vegas Show. But it's a fan that has LEDs on it and it spins and it kind of looks like an image is floating in air. Now, yes they had a lot of them, and yes it was impressive, but Lauren and I were laughing about the fact that you can go to a Paranormal Vegas or Creepy Vegas show produced by the great and Terrible Joshua P. Warren and have the same level of technology that you get looking at the holograms at the two and a half billion dollar Sphere. I swear I'm not trying to leave

a negative review for the Sphere. I'm just saying I thought maybe we would see some more advanced form of holograph or hologram. And then they have a handful of robots that are strewn around there. But the robots, you know, their life size, kind of like female android looking robots. They have AI and some of them will talk to you. But the problem is they're they're on ground level and everybody just like crowds around them, and you can't even

really get up next to them so easily. Wow, I didn't realize this review was going to sound so uh. I'm not a negative Nancy here. I'm just telling you all right, when we come back, I'm going to tell you what it's actually like to go sit down inside the Magnificent Sphere in Las Vegas. Oh, and then I have a premonition of a disaster. I'm Joshua P. Warren, and you're listening to strange things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormo podcast network at I will

be back after these important messages. Stay there, Joshua P. Warren will be right back.

sent one out. It's just a flyer you get in the mill and it said, and of course you remember we did this experiment last year to increase the water levels at Lake Mead, and it says here a Tier one shortage is projected for twenty twenty four, which is an ongoing improvement over this year's Tier two shortage, Gaining southern Nevada access to an additional four thousand acre feet of Colorado River water, or about one point three billion gallons.

A wet winter, combined with lower water demands, have raised Lake Mead water levels this year. I told you, I told you we were going to do it, and we did it. Now are we going to do it again this winter? No, We're going to hold off this winter. I have my reasons for trying to keep things in balance by holding off. So I think you will see that this winter will not produce as much snow as last winter until we all decide to manifest snow again. Okay,

So here's the thing about going into the sphere. When you finally walk into this theater, look, I don't know, to me, it looked bigger than any Imax screen I've ever seen. The stadium seating there with eighteen thousand, six hundred seats, It's it's incredibly steep, incredibly steep, and when you sit down, you're you're just facing this interior of this gigantic dome. So it just looks like a huge concave screen and when the movie starts and it really

the movie really gets gone. It was impressive. Now let me just tell you these the robots and the lobby, Like I said, it was kind of hard to get close to them, and if you could, they would just mainly talk about how great the sphere was, or if you ask one of question that had AI, they would give you some kind of like politically correct answer. Here's the thing about this movie, and I'm not gonna spoil it for anybody. I could have done without the moral

lesson of the movie. Okay, we go to these things to enjoy ourselves and try to forget about our problems, and there was this whole big lesson like, oh, here's how bad people are, you know, for the for the we're ruining the world kind of thing. But in terms of technology itself, the the image was it was crystal clear. It was amazing. It was it wrapped around you. It covered your entire field division. It was like being there.

Every scene that you were shown, you felt like you were there, and it was it was realistic, And to me, the coolest part was that when you watch an image project on a concave screen like that, it does have a three D effect, but it's a very natural, realistic looking three D, as opposed to the type of three D that you are used to seeing in theaters where everything pops so much that it looks cool, but it doesn't actually look that way in reality. Reality is much

more subtle. This captures the more realistic three D effect that you get viewing reality. So it was very much worth it to see that. Now whether or not it's worth you paying fifty dollars or one hundred dollars or two hundred and fifty dollars, well you have to figure that out for yourself, even with inflation. I'm not going to tell you know what you should or should not be paying it, just you know, it depends on what you what you're into, how much value this experience would

have to you. But it was, it was. I really enjoyed it. In fact, I wish all movies were fifty minutes. But if you're on a budget and you can't make it to Las Vegas and you don't want to pay that kind of money for a ticket, if you go to my website and order my Tibetan emos for like twenty four to ninety five that are little domes that go over your eyes. For that price and for not leaving your house, it's a pretty it'll give you a pretty good idea of what the sphere is like. So

I enjoyed the experience. It was a pain to get in there, and I'm glad I did it, and it was too expensive in my opinion, but it was really cool. So now here is my premonition. And I hate to say this because I don't want to manifest it, but I figure I may as well make a prediction here in Las Vegas. Everybody knows if you spend any time here that there are a lot of people who come here and they wear it stream high hill shoes and they're drinking and they're tipsy. And I cannot tell you.

As Lauren and I were sitting there watching or getting ready for this movie to start in the sphere, I cannot tell you how many how many people, especially you know, young ladies who obviously were tipsy wearing these high hills, were struggling to walk up those extremely steep stairs. And some of them are not as fit as they might

think they are. And I saw people look like they were about to pass out, and so I just you know, I would not want to have the insurance policy on that place because I think in Vegas with stairs that are that steep and people running around drinking wearing high hills like that, I think very soon somebody is going to absolutely and lose it and have a horrific tumble down those stairs. That's going to make the stairs scene from The Exorcist look like a kindergarten playground. That's just

what I see happening. I'm kind of surprised and hasn't happened already, So be very very very careful if you visit the sphere as you go up and down those stairs. So so, anyway, had a good time, and I guess that's the best I can capture it for you right now now. As I was running around the strip during those few days, I did go somewhere that I thought, actually to me, was more impressive in terms of just

like the level of quality. It's called the Paradox Museum, and when you go to there, and I don't know how long it's going to be there, if it's one of those things they just set up for a little while, it kind of looked cheesy when I saw the advertisements for it because it just looked like a place for people to go and take selfies. And it's like, you know, I'm I'm pushing fifty years old at this point. I'm

not real big on running around and taking selfies. Actually, i'll be forty seven, so I guess I better not use the Big five oh yet. But you know what, when I got there, it was so cool because the people who report on the Paradox Museum they just show themselves with their selfies because they are you know, they're narcissists. But they actually had real holograms there that were extremely cool. They had a hall of mirrors that was amazing. I

took a picture of myself. They had a real cool setup where you're sitting at a poker table and it looks like you're playing poker with five life size versions of yourself, life size clones all using mirrors. That was pretty neat. They even had what kind of was like a life sized Devil's toy box that was partial. And the weird thing is I started taking pictures when I was in there by myself, and I thought, well, this

will be neat. I can post this stuff online and tell everybody, look here, I am in a big Devil's toy box. None of those pictures turned out, none of I must have taken five or six pictures. All my other pictures turned out. None of them turned out in the Devil's the Devil's Toy box. But they also had this robotic hand there that I thought was impressive because unlike you know, the whole AI thing which everybody and anybody can access now, they had a robotic hand there

that was large. It was like maybe three or four times the size of a normal human hand. And on one fingertip there was a magic wand balanced and they said, uh, go ahead, mess with that wand and that hand will automatically rebalance it. And so you can. You could hit that wand and because it was you know, it was attached by a little pivot point, you could hit that wand and swing it in any kind of crazy direction. And that hand had gyroscopes and would automatically adjust and

keep that wand perfectly balanced upright. That was cool. So I like the Paradox Museum, and I found another really cool place you should visit if you are going to be around Vegas, around Fremont Street. It's called the Movie Prop Experience. And when you go in there, not only do they have a bunch of props from famous movies, but the coolest thing is that they have a gift shop where you can buy you could actually purchase some

real movie props from your favorite films. And so, you know, I went in there and they had well, they had a cool statue from the movie Batman with Michael Keathon, and then they had a Chucky doll from one of the movies. And speaking of the Devil's Toy Box, they had one of the actual hell razor boxes used in

that movie. They had one of the original production photographs made for The Shining you know, the Stanley Kubrick movie with Jack Nicholson, where at the end of the movie they show that picture of Jack Nicholson standing in a ballroom in the nineteen twenties with all the people behind him. And they had one of those actual production pictures and that was cool to be able to see all the detail in that. And boy, they did a good job making that realistic. But I saw something in the gift

shop and I go, Okay, I'm buying that. I'm buying that. When we come back from this break, I'll tell you what I bought from my own private collection. I'm going to tell you how much money that I won in the slot tournament, and I may even have time to play a new audio recording for you related to Bigfoot. I'm Joshua Pee Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will be right back. Hang on, josh will be right back.

tocoastam dot com to send us your recording. That's Coast to Coast AM dot com.

podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren. And when I walked into the gift shop at the Movie Prop Experience on Fremont Street there in Las Vegas, I saw they had a piece of actual kryptonite from the movie Superman Returns starring Brandon Routh from two thousand and six. Now that is not one of my favorite Superman movies, but it is so hard to find actual kryptonite from a movie like that, a real big, mainstream Superman movie. And I was like, yeah, that that's going to my collection.

And it comes on a little stand that has a light under it that it looks like moldovite. Love it. So I talked to the fella there and then the lady there, and we worked out a good price. And as a matter of fact, I can't say enough good things because they even ended up throwing in some extra kryptonite for me as well. So I now have in my living room among my other things that are from movies, for example, like I have a piece of the set from Plan Now Plan nine from Outer Space. I mean

that's pretty rare. I have a piece of Kryptonite from a Superman movie? Hey, how much would you pay if I were to sell a ticket for you to come to my house and hang out with me for an evening in Las Vegas and let me just show you my collection and all my weird stuff. I'm just curious. I'm not saying I would ever do that, but I always say, like I could sell tickets to my house.

I wonder how much you would pay for that? But anyway, you know what, go and check out the website for this place, heroprop dot com h E R O p r OP heroprop dot com and look at some of the cool movie props that they're selling. Okay, the clock is ticking. Here's what happened. I spent three days based around Planet Hollywood on the strip doing this slot tournament,

and I think I scored some pretty high points. And then on the last night, I went to the Kiosk and I popped my card in to see how much I won, and I won one hundred dollars in free play. Now that is what we call in Vegas asando. And if you don't know what that means, go to YouTube and watch a guy named Vegas Matt. It's disappointing, so I would not devote that much time to a slot

tournament again just for one hundred dollars. And I thought it was kind of interesting because there were seven hundred and fifty people who participated in that slot tournament, and I wonder like, well, how would we know that anybody got more than one hundred dollars. I'm not casting doubt on the good people at Caesar's, but I will tell you this. The gambling that we did at Caesars, you know, it was okay. But at a certain point, Lauren and I we crossed the street and we ended up over

at the Mirage, which is owned by different company. The Mirage will soon be the hard Rock, And we started winning a lot over there, and we were there for a few hours, and right when we were about to leave, I realized that I had a ticket. You know how you get these gambling tickets that have yeah, So I was like, oh, I got a ticket with a dollar

on it. So right, literally the last thing we did as we were about to walk out the door, as I put this dollar in an old school slot machine that had one pay line, hit the button and won four hundred dollars. So that's the amazing thing. It's like my slot tournament experiment gave me one hundred dollars in free play, which actually did not end up producing anything

for me. But I crossed the street and I go to the Mirage and I put a dollar in a machine and hit the button, and that one dollar gives me four hundred dollars of tangible money that I cash out and put in my wallet. So that's gambling for you, right, Oh, I have I have more stories for you about Okay, let me leave you with this because it's new. A few nights ago, my good friend, Missy Hill, who we've

done each other a long time. She hosts the Haunted Built more village tour than we do through Haunted Ashville. She contacted me and she said that she and a friend were coming back from chero Keen, North Carolina. This is just a few nights ago, and they were going through an area where a lot of people have seen Bigfoot.

And I don't know if she pulled over, or if she had her window open or what, but she said she heard a sound that could only be a bigfoot, and she made a recording of herself trying to reproduce this sound, and she sent it to me and I said, Missy, you've got to let me play this on the podcast. Here is what Missy Hill sent me that she said she believes is the sound of a bigfoot in the mountains of western North Carolina. Are you ready? Here we go.

I'm about to play it for you, and I sent it to her and she goes, yes, that's it all right. So as far as I'm concerned, she has verified what you were about to hear now is what she actually heard and believes maybe a bigfoot. Well, what do you think it sounds pretty beastly to me. Missy, thank you for sending that to us. And now that you know where this guy may hang out, hopefully next time you can bring an audio recorder for you and get something

directly from the wilderness. But I wanted to make sure we got that in there tonight since it's new, and hey, I'm doing well. I still have a couple of minutes left before it's time to officially end the show, So let me just tell you a couple of things. Since

the show has been primarily about Las Vegas. After I got back recently from my trip to Colorado with my family, it became my wife, Lauren's birthday, so her birthday September twenty fourth, and so we went out and we ran around and we we're back, you know, in the strip vicinity. We went to hofbrow House, which is a German, you know, Bavarian restaurant here in the Vegas area. You can look it up. It's a reproduction of an old beer hall

from Munich, Germany that goes back hundreds of years. But the funny thing about that day that I've been meaning to tell you for a little while is that we ended up going into a casino, where Lauren did very well. And at one point she and I were sitting there in a machine and I looked over and to my left near the lobby was we Man from the Jackass series, you know it started on MTV all those years ago and all the movies, you know, we Man. We Man

was standing there and it was undeniably him. I mean, we knew immediately. Let's see what is his actual name? It is Jason Akuna. And uh so a lot of times when I see celebrities, I don't go up and say anything, but this time I was like, Okay, I'm going to go say hi, do we Man? And Lauren wouldn't though, uh she she gets too embarrassed. So I went up to we Men. He had a big dude there hanging out with him, just you know, I guess

guarding him. He's a celeb, so and I was I wasn't sure, like, are you here for promotional purposes or just I wasn't sure what to think. But I also didn't want to, you know, go up and just start you know, probing him. I just went I All I did was I walked up and I said, are you cool with selfies? And he said yeah, sure, so I took a selfie with me with we men. He was really nice. And you never know when you go up to like a celebrity out of the blue, what their

reaction is going to be. But he was cool. So that's just one of the nice little bonuses. I guess living in a famous, a world famous town like Las Vegas, sometimes you run into people out of the blue like that that you would just never expect. All right, my friends, hope you've enjoyed my ramblings and now sit back, relax, take a deep breath, and enjoy the good fortune tone.
