I was in Vegas one time, and I put $20 on one of those wheels. Or I put a dollar on the 20, and they spun it, and it hit, and I won 20. And I was like, fuck, I should have put 20 in 1,400. And I'm like, ah, that's why guys lose their house. It's that. I mean, there's a great story. I don't know if it was Norm or Artie, but like, apparently they did the gig in Vegas,

and there was, like, the most money they'd ever made on a gig.

And on the flight home, they were down 10 grand. Yeah, of course. They spent the whole, I don't know if it was 100,000, I don't know if it was a million bucks. I don't know, like, what these guys were making. but like somehow they managed to lose the money.

Yeah, I usually text and calls from Voss all the time.

His boss is a very bad gambler, and he would call from Vegas. He'd be there for a day or two, and he would have blown through his money, and he would need people to send them money. I think that they booked acts like that on purpose. I think this is, and this is how smart Dice is. I toured with Dice for three years years. I love dice. And he was the first comic to work the Venetian in Vegas. So I remember we went to the Venetian before, it was just opening. They'd never done comedy, and he went and gambled. And he had a duffel bag full of money. And I think it was he dropped $20,000 in cash at the Venetian.

Wow.

And after that, he got a two-year deal to perform in the Venetian because they're like, oh, this guy. He's going to spend. He's going to perform for free. And I always wondered, did Andrew do that on purpose? Like, he was a smart guy and he worked every casino. So if they think that you're a high roller and you gamble, they're much more likely to give you a concert.

So they book them four times a year. He never gambles again and then he just cleans up. Oh, no, he did. They were right then. That is clever. You drop 100K at once and you get booked for four shows. Yeah, absolutely. And I always thought that might have been a strategy

because he went in there.

And he thought I was bad luck.

He thought I was a mush.

And he was probably right,

so he made me leave the casino.

I was so upset.

Yeah, he was like, tell him the ought

and he's got to go.

So I had to walk into another casino

because he was fucking down like $120,000. I mean, what are you going to do in Vegas? You know what I mean? You of all people. I know. There was one escort I used to see every time I went out there. I would go out at night early before the shows, and I would always see this one girl. I forget her name. And there was one woman who would dress like a nurse and come over. Would you ask for this? No, she just did.

Like her picture, she had like a little nurse's hat on.

And she would come over and piss on me.

That was a great trip, man.

What's up, everybody?
