Who are you?

I'm John Bonus, which isdaily. Oh, that's what you are. Behind the glass, Tony Landry. Hi, gentlemen. Of Las Vegas fame. Of never going back to Las Vegas. Still hurts. Of the wanted boards at Las Vegas. There's probably some pictures of me up somewhere. So two weeks ago, we left it with Tony. He was off last week. We had Zach Halverson in. And John and I are both fans of Las Vegas, but staying off all night, gambling too much, all that stuff. So Tony was saying how he was going out there. We're big vice guys. Yes. I was going out there for a bachelor party. And were like well tell us how it went so we see

Tony right before the show and I think John said

how'd it go and Tony said oh terrible

so so bad yeah that's that's what he said

I did the opposite of winning

yeah that well if you needed the other team to win just tell me who you wanted me to bed. So what? How many days were you there? How many nights were you there, I guess? We were there two nights, three days. Okay. I went home late Sunday afternoon, got in early Friday morning. What percentage of your time there were you depressed because you had already lost too much? The last day. Okay. Okay. It was like, I've had worse. It wasn't like, well, you guys have, you've done the all-day drinking bit where you're by the pool. You're in a sports book. You stop by and you're like, oh, let's throw 20 down on that roulette wheel and try to make $800.

You do about eight of those and you're like, where's all my money going? That is true. It's like, yeah, it's like when you're on a plane and you see Sky Mall and you go, this isn't that bad, this isn't that bad? You realize that at the end of the magazine, oh, I would have spent $18,000.. It's like Vegas is the sky mall of like gambling in that, yeah, like you said, like every five feet, you could lose $50 if you really wanted to. Like, you don't even have to really try that. It was right around probably midnight's going into Sunday on Saturday where I looked at a friend of mine and I went, I think all I've had is two slices of pizza and vodka water today. Yeah. What happened to this day? Yeah, that's the other thing is you start to lose sense of time. You start to lose sense of any sort of nutritional ideas. Oh, yeah. And so then, and especially once I start losing money, my whole notion of, ooh, there's a good steak place that I instead, it's just, well, is there a vending machine somewhere that I can just... They have any of those little cashiers places I can go get like a Red Bull and like a chicken wrap you pretend to eat? Yeah. My favorite bet I made that entire weekend was Kershaw versus the Padres. The Padres were plus 285. For those of you that don't gamble, for you bet $100 at plus 285, you win $285 on top of your 100. Yeah, because the Padres think. They're terrible. Clayton Kershaw is the best pitcher of the last, well, maybe ever, but the last, you know, 20 years. So which side did you bet? I bet the Padres. I thought, against all odds, plus 285?

How do you not?

He's just a man. He's just a man. I woke up Sunday morning and looked at my phone at my MLB app and just threw the ticket in the garbage. They lost 10 to 2. Well, that's the other thing is I used to bet a lot of baseball, which I used to write a column, a daily column trying to give two picks, one for each league for people to bet. And I love, I used to love anything above like plus 250. I would almost always make an argument that it's worthwhile. But the problem is that works over the course of six months when you're going to do 50 of them. Right. When you're in Vegas for 72 hours and you're going to put $100 down, you're probably going to lose the $100. You need to hit one of them. And I didn't hit any of them. But he made it back. That's what I said. There's been worse trips to Vegas that involve either not making it back or making it back you're minus a finger. You know, you have some sort of injury.

You're married. You have a bad tattoo. You know, all that sort of stuff that, you know, sometimes will go on there. As far as I can tell, he's in one piece. It seems to be, I've seen most of the digits. I actually lost a toe, but that's something. I mean, that's a good story. story. The worst part of the trip for me wasn't the gambling or the excessive drinking or anything like that. It was just the travel. And I was kind of filling you guys in about this. Spirit Airlines. Well, yeah, sweet plug for the podcast that Neilverson and Donaldson do. But you can hear the full story on the Farm System podcast, but we went Spirit Airlines and they slowed down or just stopped flying last weekend.

I got to drive across Arizona twice, let's just say that much.

The desert any time of day, it's like driving to North Dakota.

There's no fun thing to look at.

Holy cow.
