The Bird Show

Reno Ben is what we call him because he called us on a day, it was like Friday afternoon, and we were saying, we were just like, who's running away from their life right now?

And he was actually in the car, a car that had over 200,000 miles on it.

I forgot about that part.

Yeah, his old car, and he had said that he had lost his scholarship for school because

he didn't do so well the last semester and he was just, you know, kind of feeling down and out.

And he had just decided, you know what, I'm starting over and I'm leaving Atlanta. So he was

actually on his way to his girlfriend's house to tell her that he was leaving. And then he was driving

across the country to Reno to become a

blackjack dealer. And so we followed him across the country and his car broke down in Vegas,

which he said if he could afford to fix the car, it was at the shop. And he said if he could afford

to fix it, he was moving on to Reno. If he couldn't, he was staying in Vegas. Well, it wasn't

that bad. I don't even know if it was a Ford.

I remember he said if the shop, there's enough room on the credit card to pay for the car, then I'll get it out of the shop. And if the car's declined, I'm going to have to get a job in Vegas until I can pay off the bill. So as luck would have it in Vegas, he got the car fix. He went on to Reno, didn't really like it, so it went further down the road to Tahoe.

Mm-hmm. the bill so as luck would have it in Vegas he got the car fix he went on to reno didn't really

like it so went further down the road to tahoe and actually loved it there and so then found a job

as a black jack dealer in tahoe and found a roommate started living with a guy and basically

started his whole new life.

So we've been kind of following him as far as how it's been going.

He's even grown a mustache.

So he's – did he really?

Yeah.
