Speaker 2: pretty much.
Speaker 6: And it was amazing.
Speaker 2: So not only I learned how to play blackjack, You
Speaker 2: guys would be so proud of me. Learned how to
Speaker 2: play blackjack. I went skeet shooting, and at first I
Speaker 2: was not good at it, but the second time around,
Speaker 2: I got three in a row and it was amazing.
Speaker 2: It was really badass and.
Speaker 6: Then I fell off a snowmobile. Oh I want that
Speaker 6: drop forever. Fell off of snowmobil, Jeremy.
Speaker 3: It was okay.
Speaker 2: So those things I didn't know what I was getting
Speaker 2: myself into. Those things are serious. And then our goggles
Speaker 2: kept like fogging up on our helmets and you can't
Speaker 2: see where you're going. And they were hidden things under
Speaker 2: that snow that you have no idea what they are.
Speaker 2: Just so happened to run over like a storm pipe,
Speaker 2: drain pipe thing. Definitely almost flipped the thing over. I
Speaker 2: have a giant bruise on my knee.
Speaker 1: Now, wait, you're driving snowmobiles over snow and the snow
Speaker 1: is covering like city stuff like benches.
Speaker 6: No idea what that snow is covering.
Speaker 2: We had a ton of snow like day before we
Speaker 2: left UH and then decided to go snowmobiling. And so
Speaker 2: after that day, like right after I fell, it's like, no,
Speaker 2: I'm not doing this ever again. And now that I'm
Speaker 2: thinking back to it, it's like, if my goggles weren't
Speaker 2: fogged up and it wasn't so damn cold, I might
Speaker 2: be on board with it.
Speaker 3: Did you did you cry?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 6: One and cried.
Speaker 9: Five.
Speaker 6: I'm not going to cry.

Speaker 6: I mean two twenty each by the hour. Oh that's
Speaker 6: three hours. I don't know, four hours.
Speaker 3: Do you guys get a day rate?
Speaker 6: I really don't know. I just know it was five
Speaker 6: hundred for of how fat they g?
Speaker 2: Oh, I go, they go really freaking fast, which is
Speaker 2: why you need to be able to see where you're going,
Speaker 2: because it's all white everywhere.
Speaker 6: You have no idea. There could be a tree that
Speaker 6: pops up out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: No seriously avoided death if you think about Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I think those are fair questions, but there are probably
Speaker 1: questions for her boyfriend more than for her, like how
Speaker 1: fast does it go? Do you think?
Speaker 3: I mean, he's like, what is? How fast will this
Speaker 3: thing go? How much torque? What are you implying over there?
Speaker 2: I did go really fast at the beginning and then
Speaker 2: immediately slowed down because those things it's just it's I
Speaker 2: don't know if I want to do it again.
Speaker 5: I really doing it as a kid. Yeah, way, I'm
Speaker 5: I mean too, Harley really younger. I remember it not
Speaker 5: being as fun as it looked. Yeah, because it's just bumping.
Speaker 5: You do any sick jumps, not intentionally.
Speaker 2: But when I went over that store pipe, I went over,
Speaker 2: I jumped up a little bit.
Speaker 1: Uh So you were there with your boyfriend Dallas Observer
Speaker 1: Host of the Year, Mike's Roy, who's a brave you know,
Speaker 1: incredible human being out in the world, veteran. You can
Speaker 1: make a lot of things happen. Did he do anything courageous,
Speaker 1: anything brave, anything other.
Speaker 2: Than he jumped off his snowbill bill mobile when he
Speaker 2: saw me fly off of it and came to rescue
Speaker 2: me and then drove my snowmobil out of the way
Speaker 2: to where I could get.
Speaker 6: Back on it safely.
Speaker 3: That's impressive. Fact. What's he gonna do for the Veterans
Speaker 3: Bowl tomorrow?
Speaker 6: With no idea?
Speaker 3: Man? Uh I?
Speaker 1: He was the first responder to Christina when she fell
Speaker 1: off her snowmobile.
Speaker 3: Brought to you by Serf Pro. Yeah. I had I
Speaker 3: had a good holiday.
Speaker 1: I had all my vacation days stockpiled and so yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I was off for a long time. But
Speaker 1: you and one of the things I did is I
Speaker 1: went to Vegas, and yeah, it was fun. Went to
Speaker 1: Vegas with some guys I've known since like elementary school,
Speaker 1: middle school, and something bad happened to me while I
Speaker 1: was there. Though you get an STD yes, but that
Speaker 1: was not even it was just added to the pilot.
Speaker 3: No, no, not that either.
Speaker 6: But I was.
Speaker 1: I was leaving. I went from the hotel I was
Speaker 1: staying at was the Belagio, which I used to think
Speaker 1: was a big deal, like it even induced a lot.
Speaker 3: It was, dude, it is not is it's time for
Speaker 3: an update? Is it a Best Western?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 1: It is the best Western. It's a huge best Western.
Speaker 1: And I let my wife book it for me, so
Speaker 1: she got me this such a good rate. When I
Speaker 1: got to my room, I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I hate to be high maintenance, but it smells like
Speaker 1: cigarette smoking here. Somebody's smoking in this room. And so
Speaker 1: I called the front desk and I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: can you should be to a different room. This smells
Speaker 1: like smoke, and they're like, well, it's the smoking tower.
Speaker 1: You're in a smoking room, and it's the room had
Speaker 1: been cleaned, and when I left, my clothes smelled like
Speaker 1: cigarette smoke just from being in that room. Oh, man,
Speaker 1: what a beat. Yeah, I was a beating, but I
Speaker 1: ended up getting a better room. So anyways, at one
Speaker 1: point I needed to go to a little Christmas shopping,
Speaker 1: so I jumped at a cab from the Belagio and went,
Speaker 1: you know, like fifteen minutes to a mall.
Speaker 3: And I got there to the mall and I was like, okay,
Speaker 3: now I need to pay with my credit card.
Speaker 1: So I pulled them out, set my phone down on
Speaker 1: my left, pull my wallet out, pay via credit card
Speaker 1: on the thing attached to the pasture seat. So I'm
Speaker 1: in the back seat looking right at it. Pay, and
Speaker 1: got out of the cab, took a few steps and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh no, I just left my phone
Speaker 1: in that git.
Speaker 3: Oh God, a little beating, but I'd rather die than
Speaker 3: I would that.
Speaker 1: I was there with six guys, and I was by myself,
Speaker 1: so I had no way to even reach the six
Speaker 1: guys I was there with. I remembered Skin's phone number
Speaker 1: and my wife's phone number, and that's it, because you
Speaker 1: don't have to remember I his phone numbers anymore.
Speaker 3: You're a foreigner in that town now.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I don't even know what to do,
Speaker 1: Like what what do I do. I don't know how
Speaker 1: to reach anybody, and so I ended up spending like
Speaker 1: seven hours working on it. Oh that's a great vacation.
Speaker 1: And it's still terrible, but it ended up being like
Speaker 1: a case that had to be cracked, had to be solved.
Speaker 1: And because I went to the Apple store and there's
Speaker 1: like there's three Apple stores here, and our Apple store
Speaker 1: alone just one of the three cells four hundred new
Speaker 1: iPhones per weekend because people lose them here.
Speaker 3: Oh man.
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, how much is it for
Speaker 1: a new iPhone? They're like, well, seventeen hundred dollars. I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: f that, I'm you know. So I got to go
Speaker 1: to AT and T because that's who my plan is with.
Speaker 1: And so if I go to ATT, I can upgrade
Speaker 1: a phone offset the costs pay included in my bill.
Speaker 1: I pay seventeen hundred dollars. But I didn't get past
Speaker 1: the fraud alert people. They're like, I'm sorry, you're not
Speaker 1: we can't we can't authorize this. We don't think you
Speaker 1: are who you are. I'm like, what that's you? I'm
Speaker 1: I'm standing what are you talking about? They're like has
Speaker 1: Tawny Rogers ever owned property in Sigaville. I'm like, that's
Speaker 1: my sister in law. Why would I know where she's
Speaker 1: owned property?
Speaker 3: Like, what the hell are you talking about on security question?
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, And it ended up taking all this time,
Speaker 1: and then ultimately I went to the belagio front desk
Speaker 1: at the valet and I was like, man, nobody's helping me.
Speaker 1: Here was at the smoking front desk and there's for
Speaker 1: the all for all the hotel and they were like, well,
Speaker 1: we have a number to call the cab companies. But
Speaker 1: you know, I called that number. They're like, get back
Speaker 1: those within two weeks, send us an email. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: if I don't find it in the next few hours,
Speaker 1: I'll never see it again. And somebody had immediately turned
Speaker 1: it off, so they were like, yeah, they turned it off.
Speaker 1: They knew what they were doing. But eventually I went
Speaker 1: to the bolagio to the front desk and I was like, look,
Speaker 1: I want to talk to the general manager and they're like,
Speaker 1: oh what. I go up the bellagio they go what why,
Speaker 1: Like what are you talking about. I'm like, I don't
Speaker 1: feel like you guys are sympathetic. You're not even giving
Speaker 1: me a good number to call where someone will answer.
Speaker 1: And so finally guy goes okay, and he gave me
Speaker 1: the phone number to call, and he had got somebody
Speaker 1: on the phone handed to me from that cab company.
Speaker 3: I had to chase down.
Speaker 1: All these receipts, figured out, I paid with my MX
Speaker 1: and I found it, and the driver ended up bringing
Speaker 1: me my phone, and I wasted.
Speaker 3: I waste the entire day dealing with It's a miracle
Speaker 3: you found it, but you.
Speaker 1: Didn't drop seventeen hundred on an iPhone. No, that's that's
Speaker 1: a Christmas mirror. It was a Christmas miracle.
Speaker 5: There you go listen is tell people they're not being
Speaker 5: sympathetic enough too, because that's what got him there.
Speaker 1: So I got me there, yep. And I can't believe
Speaker 1: it worked. You need to be a better person, all right.
Speaker 1: Coming up next in the Hollywood Shuffle, we do need
Speaker 1: to talk movies. Skin saw a few movies over the
Speaker 1: holiday break, and today is a very special day. It's
Speaker 1: Science fiction Day, so we might talk about the best
Speaker 1: sci fi movies of all time. I watched a couple
Speaker 1: of those over the holiday. We are off and running.
