0:00.0	Hey, what's happening? Thanks for tuning into a bonus episode. Two episodes today. Two episodes.
0:06.8	Just something being weird. Today is Sunday, April 11th, and I'm just back from Las Vegas,
0:14.2	where I saw the mighty guns and roses kick off their world tour at the T-Mobile Arena on Friday night.
0:22.4	And let's see who went with me, Danny from the 101 Cafe, Lucas Hurle, my boy Greg from El Cajón,
0:32.3	Harley. We all spun out there to Vegas. And let's see, we we hotels tonight it, we we gambled and kept
0:46.1	trying to choose a cheap rate all the way to Vegas and settled on circus circus, which is an
0:54.2	absolute garbage can. Just giving you a heads up if you ever got a Vegas, pay the extra money,
1:03.0	stay the fuck out of circus circus. What a dump. But it didn't really matter because we weren't
1:10.1	going to be in the room at all. We got into town around, I'd say 630, checked in, tried to take
1:18.8	a 30 minute nap, barely happened, got up, headed over to the brand new T-Mobile Arena, which holds
1:27.5	19,000 people across the street from MGM and Kitty Corner to the Tropicana or the X-Caliber.
1:40.2	It looks fantastic on the outside. It looks badass. It looks ultra modern. It's kind of a brass
1:47.7	color. You can't tell how big it is from being outside. But once you get inside, you quickly
1:55.6	realize this thing's a fucking monster. 20,000 doesn't sound like that much, like 19, 20,000.
2:03.0	But when you get in there, this thing is like one of those kind of college style arenas,
2:07.7	where it just goes like fucking straight up. So, you know, if you're sitting in the third or fourth
2:17.1	balconies, you're riding some serious escalators up, which by the way, just to give you a heads up,
2:25.4	this is the biggest arena in Vegas now. The MGM was much too small, which is what made it my
2:32.7	favorite to go see bands all the time. I just saw AC, DC there recently. Of course, I've seen
2:39.0	Van Halen there many times, Rolling Stones, so on. But MGM only holds 13,500. And sometimes,
2:51.3	that's kind of a bummer for bands, because then they would have to stay and do two nights.
2:57.2	And a lot of those bands could easily do two, three nights at 13,000. But, you know, you're on
