  3. I’ve been known to give my boyfriend, “Roulette Bill”, shit for listening to you guys every week, but after finally breaking down today and listening to a bit of the show myself, have decided you two aren’t so bad. And although I’ll always imagine you both wearing nothing but flannel and living in an ice-fishing shack up north somewhere, I just wanted to send a quick thank you for putting my guy on the show this week. I’m pretty sure I won’t hear the end of it for a while..

  4. i love this show and i wait all week to listen to the new shows! i leave for vegas in 8 days!!!! your show gets me so excited i can’t hardly stand it!!!! i can’t wait to drunkin dial u!

  5. Hey Ken,

    Fellow music major here, actually. I corrected myself in last week’s show comments and even though Tim and Michele laugh about it, I was kicking myself after the phone call for screwing up my German opera lit.

  6. Happens to the best of us Mike. Maybe you and I should start a podcast about Bayreuth.

  8. Trophy wife or daughter… Sounds like a fun game. Until a dealer asked me and my female companion how long we had been married… Ya, it was my daughter.

  9. My initial guess about the salt water pool was that it was to get the effect of added buoyancy like in the ocean – people who sink in a pool can often float in the ocean because of the salt water.

    But looking online, it looks like salt water pools use the salt as a substitute for chlorine. Less harsh, less smell, doesn’t bleach your hair, etc. I’d be curious if you can tell much of a difference from a chlorinated pool.

  13. I paid the money to go see “21”…Without going into a long review…it was 2 hours of interesting entertainment….will it win any oscars no but it wasn’t the worst movie i have ever seen. I haven’t read bringing down the house, but I assure you they aren’t anything alike other then the basic premise. For a vegas nut the liberties they take with geography drove me nuts, but once you look past that its fine….any other questions I’ll answer them

  14. Ok thanks, think thats enough to persuade me to go this weekend – as long as its not a turkey anything which will get that Vegas skyline on the big screen is good enough for me!

  15. So…according to the The BUZZ magazine thingy MGM sends me, Wet Republic has “body-loving” saltwater – why saltwater is body-loving is anyone’s guess – discuss among yourselves. If it’s open when i get there next weekend, i’ll be sure to check it out and see if “wetter is better” as The Buzz promises. (with my luck, it wont be open yet, so dont get your hopes up!)

  16. Seems like its my week to post on the comments section…anyways I don’t recall if it was this week or last weeks show that our gracious hosts brought up frontdesktip.com….but I used to frequent that site quite regularly but it seems some riff raff have gotten a hold of it lately and I really can’t take anything to seriously on that site anymore….just my two cents..

  17. salt water pools have a ‘clorine generator’ that converts the salt water into clorine. It stays clean and you don’t have to add lots of chemicals. Our pool at home is a saltwater pool. You don’t notice any difference other than a slight saltiness to the water.

    I’m going with bacon salt this year…I need about 110 pounds…can you hook me up?

  18. When I was in Israel I visited the Dead Sea. There is so much salt in that water it is impossible to sink. You also discover any little microscopic cut or nick as the salt makes it sting.
    But people come from half way around the world to go in this water as it has some sort of skin theraputic benifits.
    I think I am gonna go with the filtering idea anyway.

    Heather and I were Diamond at Harrahs and expired this past month. Personally we will probably take our play to Red Rock and the other Station Casinos (Texas, Boulder, Santa Fe, Green Valley Ranch, Sunset, Palace, Red Rock, Aliante, Fiestas,
    Wild Wild West, Barley’s/Greens Thunder Valley, Wildfire, Magic Star, Gold Rush ) or spread it around downtown. Odds seem better downtown with the exception of Golden Nugget. And Fremont Hotel/Casino is cleaning its act up as are other places there. (We stayed in Fremont and it was actually pretty nice)
    Stations has a pretty good concert scedule- http://www.stationcasinos.com/entertainment/concerts/
    But the stations route may not work for most people that listen to the podcast unless they are locals as most of the Stations, with the exception of Palace and Wild Wild West, are far off the strip and believe me, unless you want drugs or a whore then you might as well stay far away from Wild Wild West.
