I just was promoted to co-producer of the show 2:13 as well as six nights a week so I'm very very lucky and blessed and Fantasies at 2:19 Luxor at Luxor every night at 10 30. oh it's never dark never

see him every single 3:01 night like he'll you know has that like a prop he'll come over and be like hey what do you think of this I just saw this new joke or you know something 3:06 happened on the news what do you guys think about this and so he'll like test his new jokes and props out on us he's he's hilarious yeah yeah he he's 3:14 actually one of the first people I met uh when I moved back to Vegas I grew up in Vegas and then I moved to Miami and I 3:20 moved back in 2005 and somebody introduced me to him and um it was actually pretty quiet kind of 3:26 kind of to himself but then when he and he kind of warms up to you a little bit but I went and saw a show a few times 3:33 and I don't know what it is but like I I have to pee before I go to watch a show because I laughed so hard because 3:40 slapsticks comedy is incredible he is I've seen a show and I hear his show 3:46 every single night so sometimes he has you know consistent jokes that it's it's funny every single time I'm like and 3:52 then if the audience doesn't like it he's just like well that one sucked I'm not gonna do that one again and there's just he's just funny yeah yeah if you 3:58 haven't seen carrotub you should go see him oh no absolutely and fantasy as well well of course obviously yeah wow that's incredible so Irina so 4:07 you you know you you've obviously known David for a long time um and uh so yeah talk about like how 4:14 you met David and what got you into modeling um and yeah sure first of all I want to 4:21 say I don't I'm not from Vegas so it's really cool to hear these like behind the scenes stories 4:29 um so yeah I moved to LA I guess a decade ago and I met David through 4:35 another photographer I had worked for in Colorado Springs I think but she just 4:40 was like go meet David and I was like why she's like just go meet him he's a great photographer and maybe he can 4:46 photograph you or something and so I went and met him and um yeah he lived in Venice at the time and just 4:53 like looked at his book and I was like cool I didn't know what I was doing you know like meeting photographers and so I 4:59 modeled for him and then ended up modeling for some of his workshops because he did 5:04 um like I think they're called fantasy Photoshop workshops okay whatever he 5:10 would like get photographers that wanted to shoot in the style of Playboy yeah and teach workshops on how to light the 5:17 way that they used to light for Playboy and so he would do like those like boot 5:22 camp Workshop weekends or whatever so I would model for some of those and yeah it was really cool I love David I've 5:27 known him for I guess a decade now and um yeah he was the first photographer 5:32 that ever shot me and I he's the only photographer that shoots me nude now I 5:38 don't trust anybody else I'm just like why you know no for sure well I mean 5:43 when you have a literally a living legend in photography so like my background is 5:50 um I grew up in Vegas I moved to Miami and then I picked up photography and I actually built a pretty good little 5:56 career for like six years in Miami and of course this was like the 6:02 beginning of the 2000s and I mean Playboy was like the Pinnacle like you 6:08 wanted to shoot like the like the Playboy photographer Stephen Arnie David 6:13 and I mean the the fact that I mean they're lighting I mean they're lighting 6:20 sequences and structures and you know and they come in and they just make the 6:25 female body looks incredible which is hence Playboy or why it blew up 6:32 so it's funny how you know we got reconnected um and 6:38 come to find out we actually know a whole bunch of the same people uh but actually he was one of the photographers 6:44 I looked up to and um so being able to kind of like you know talk shop with him now 6:51 um kind of wish I could have done it back when I was doing photography because I mean I could use some of the tips 6:56 um but yeah I mean that was literally the Pinnacle like you wanted to be you know definitely a Playboy photographer 7:02 and modeling like that was like to be a Playboy model or Playmate of the Year that was you know that was my dream and 7:08 I didn't get a chance to well you know Playboy was still playable yeah Hugh Hefner but yeah when David asked me I 7:15 was like absolutely like I my whole life of wanted to be a Playboy model so really yeah I was I was honored when 7:21 David asked me to shoot with him oh no absolutely I mean he you know what's 7:26 funny is I think secretly a lot of women would would definitely want to be on the cover of Playboy especially be a 7:32 playmate oh yeah you know yeah but but it's funny you talk to a lot of girls like oh no I'm not going to shoot nude 7:38 but it's like I I think I think the difference between shooting with a professional photographer nude and 7:44 somebody that you're just meeting and are hitting you up hey hey you want to do some nudes for sure I mean 7:49 yeah I mean I personally I I kind of avoided it um you know like implied you know like 7:57 you know what you know maybe like a mesh or like you know maybe that you know you know the arm across the boob type of 8:03 thing but I I don't know I just I I've always felt very intimidated that I wasn't going to capture it the right way 8:09 because again the lighting has to be perfect yeah and you know because I mean there's 8:14 so many different angles and shadows and you don't want to have a shadow over the wrong area and so it was very 8:20 intimidating from from a professional side but again I mean you know there's all these people out there that are like 8:26 oh yeah I can shoot you I can shoot you and but but yeah I mean you know so 8:32 have you ever done modeling you know for like any other nude 8:37 modeling or Playboy or did you try out did you 8:51 I was like I can't leave and I've literally been working on six days a week since I was 18 so it really I'm 8:56 like I'm kept like the universe like tell me what to do and then like they just kept giving me work in Vegas so I 9:02 was like I think this is where I'm supposed to be and as it turned out I really never 9:07 you know had time or anything else to shoot anything so now that I'm uh prioritizing my life a little 9:13 differently I'm like you know yeah I'm you know not getting any younger might as well just do it like yeah within the right 9:20 scenario with you know like someone like I trust like David that I know the photos are gonna be awesome so yeah this 9:25 is my first real nude photo shoot wow yeah well I think that you know anyone 9:30 would see I've seen other photography done on you 9:36 uh that is spectacular um but even fantasies isn't fantasy a 9:41 taco show yeah fantasy is topless and it was kind of like back to that like I was never going to do a topless show when I moved to Vegas I was like absolutely not 9:47 I did show in the sky you know covered I was very like Disney PG and then uh 9:53 audition for a topless show and I was like oh it was in Laughlin I was like No One's Gonna Come See Me in Laughlin in 9:58 case I hated it and then I took my top off and I loved it I was like this is so freeing so empowering like it was I I 10:06 was actually shocked that I liked it so much wow and they were always done so classy and beautiful and you know the 10:11 whole show girl thing and I was like this is where I'm supposed to be wow so Irina so you know modeling met David a 10:19 decade ago so what so from a decade ago till now so what 10:24 you know what's been your progression in your in your career or do you have other career kind of uh yeah 10:35 trying to be kind of I was acting and pursuing some other things but that kind of all comes 10:42 together when you're you know doing your headshots and trying to get out there and meeting people 10:47 um yeah I pursued acting for a while probably I don't know like 10 10:53 years I'm still like pursuing it in a way it's just it was interesting as I started doing 11:00 that it took so much time and money and then when I started getting jobs like 11:06 those entry-level jobs it just didn't pay like what you think it pays and then I was like I don't know if I can commit 11:13 to to sacrificing my time and money for something that doesn't pay you back what 11:18 you're putting in so I my hair stylist and I do that like you know part-time 11:24 still to kind of fill in but yeah it's an interesting to see like 11:29 being in La for like the last decade things have changed so much and like even as a hairdresser talking to people 11:36 all the time because my clients are actors and seeing that whole world 11:41 um just the progression of the way things go with that it's I mean not to get like 11:47 into the economy and stuff it's hard to like be like how does everybody live here and make so little with these 11:54 industries so with modeling I I do it for fun you know it's not something that 12:00 I'm like trying to make an income off of although it's interesting talking about this is like a marketing branding 12:06 podcast or whatever absolutely or whatever right 12:11 um yeah it's like kind of interesting to see girls take like their careers in their own hands with building a 12:18 following and then trying to monetize that um but I just man it did not have the energy to do that I was actually telling 12:25 David just the other day how in the past like people used to shoot for Playboy and then now that's a career like now 12:32 they can do signings now they can book other jobs that was like one shoot and now people have to create like 50 shoots 12:40 to just have content exactly always shooting and I'm like man that's exhausting like how are they paying for 12:46 it are the photographers paying them are they paying the photographers all the time and it's just to build a following 12:52 and try to monetize on that and I'm like now this is for the birds like you used to be able to do like a couple like be 12:58 on a show do a photo shoot and that's it like yep I don't know it's just an 13:03 interesting thing to analyze well I mean it's actually one of the most common questions I get as being an agency owner 13:09 is how do I become an influencer like what is there are there platforms are there this other than that and what I 13:16 what I try to tell people is you got to find something other than yourself you know that makes you interesting 13:23 um you know you know some of the biggest influencers I know are also Foodies or they do meal prep or they're a 13:31 personal trainer or they're like um care me which you both know um you know she 13:37 does like holistic healing and samples and I think as she really pushed that I think she could probably become an 13:43 influencer in that World um but yeah I mean it you know it's 13:48 definitely crazy like you know that you know the TV show [ __ ] streak by the way I binge watched that during 13:54 covet and uh actually just fell in love with the show fell in love with every character but 14:00 but the but the the daughter on the show you know she literally she said she 14:07 almost gave up almost moved back home because she was going on so many ghosties so many and she finally went in 14:14 and she literally told herself I watched a whole interview on it and she just was 14:19 like I don't care I'm just gonna go in I'm gonna do what I think is the best because she would always listen to her 14:25 acting coaches and her agents and and she went in she crushed it she like became did her you know it was supposed 14:32 to be like uh this uh Primadonna uh Ultra rich but kind of ditzy and and she 14:39 literally went in there and now now the character and now she's on top of the world I love her so much I know me too 14:45 yeah it's funny because I what was it what was the name of the character her brother David 14:50 [Laughter] which is actually kind of funny because he's in those uh those new TV 14:57 commercials where like you know the guy's like you know like oh you know our daughter just took her first step to do 15:04 it again yeah can you do it again for me you know like it he like the character is still him but I also think that 15:10 that's really him in real life yeah I think he's I think he's he he plays himself well he wrote it he wrote it 15:17 with his dad yeah yeah I think it's an extenuating Persona of who he really is yeah because 15:23 I felt like as this series went on he got better at acting because in the beginning it was a little I don't want 15:29 to say uncomfortable but it was like oh you know like there's a few lines and a few kind of like things but he nailed 15:36 that line I mean he nailed that and I like that I would have to say he's probably my favorite character on the 15:42 whole show was that they have a character yeah yeah um I liked the girl Alexis Alexis Alexis 15:48 yeah but I think it's because she was like I want to be that yeah 15:54 no that was funny because remember she had the opportunity to go with her friends and and go off they were they're 16:00 going on some uh um I think they're going like to the Mykonos or something and they're like oh hey we're all gonna go we're gonna be on 16:06 so-and-so's yard and this and that and she had her opportunity to get out of shit's creek and she and she didn't 16:13 which is actually I think when her character really came alive even the mother was great I mean oh God 16:19 Beetlejuice mother I mean whenever I see her on anything that's Beetlejuice mom Uh Kevin McAllister's mom you know Kevin 16:27 McCall oh my gosh yeah I she's a she's amazing I love her no yeah she played that so well as being 16:35 like yeah no she she nailed that that role really well but yeah so anyway was a lead into that I mean she what um you 16:43 know that actress she was giving up and you know and I think I think the thing is is that you know 16:50 you know for her you know she was actually about to give up on her dream and you know you live in LA and you do 16:57 you do it part-time right you go to a lot of castings yeah it's like I don't know it's an interesting ebb and flow 17:04 where some people are like oh you just have to like believe you can do it and I'm like that I don't think that works 17:09 in this case I think everybody believes they could do it it's just if you have like the time and the money to weather that storm 17:16 before yeah you you break or whatever but I'll have my moments of like really 17:22 trying to do it but what is really trying is just like taking the classes and networking or trying to get an agent 17:29 essentially is you know what most your time is but like yeah you could do all 17:35 those things and still just not have an opportunity it's it's interesting people are like go go do your own web series or 17:41 go do stand up or go do anything to get like seen and sometimes you'll do those things and you're like oh well it didn't 17:47 work or like let's try something else it's just like a random shuffle of trying different things to see what 17:54 breaks but along the way you just have to enjoy the journey so I like will be 18:00 like yeah I want to do this and then I'll be like oh no [ __ ] that I have to go get a job like let's just like be 18:06 real like people that live in LA and then you know another little wave will come that inspires you to do something 18:13 else so yeah no I I went to LA probably back in 2000 18:18 to 20 years ago and then I got introduced to a guy named Joe Blake and 18:23 Joe Blake casting he's a huge casting producer but he has that big facility 18:29 right off Sunset Boulevard and they just run castings for TV commercials movies TV series and and I that's where his 18:38 office was and I'm like walking in and it's like if you're here for this audition this way this way I mean it was 18:44 chaotic and that was my first time I actually got the taste of like what goes 18:50 into all this stuff and you see a lot of long faces of people because they're 18:56 they're you know but there's always that one that got the part you know and um and I remember yeah I remember talking 19:02 to him and we actually went to dinner at miyagi's I don't even know if that's still a thing on Sunset Boulevard 19:08 um it's like a sushi restaurant um I yeah I'm not even sure if it's even 19:14 still around anymore but um but yeah we went there afterwards I remember asking like you know how do you 19:20 how do you determine that this person over this person you know if they're both really good and and 19:25 he's like you know you just know you just you know and then you know we talked about like um 19:32 I I can't even remember the movies but he did a lot of really big movies back in the day and he go he goes what would 19:38 you have thought if this character played this role because you know like Top Gun 19:44 um you know demean Moore actually she auditioned for the was it Kelly McGillis 19:50 for her role as the flight instructor and could you imagine like what that would have been for I mean Demi Moore 19:57 went on had an amazing career but um but yeah like he was talking about like all these what ifs if this person 20:04 played this role and this person and I'm thinking like no no I think it's good the way it is you know what I mean it 20:11 wasn't like he was suggesting it would have been better but but he's just like all these people are up for these acting 20:16 roles and we end up sliding this person in um but yeah no I mean La has got to be 20:22 chaotic I mean you're going out there with a dream and then you and then like 20:27 reality slaps you in the face yeah no it's um that I don't know if I actually came 20:34 out to LA with a specific dream to be honest like I came out and did hair and makeup for a music video and just 20:41 everybody was doing something creative and I was like oh man I'm missing it I'm missing like all the fun like literally 20:47 everybody on the set is doing something and so I just moved out with like the 20:52 intention of jumping in the mix of like what is fun what is all the creative people in La doing creative things so 20:58 maybe that's why like I haven't had a specific success in anything because I'm like I want to do all the things you're 21:04 like squirrel yeah I'm like squirrel let's do this do stand up let's do modeling let's do acting so you've 21:10 actually done stand up oh yeah yeah really yeah I did it for maybe like a year 21:16 um I had like a I took some classes with a group called pretty funny women and 21:21 it's all females that want to be stand-up comedians so then you kind of have like a little crew of girls and you 21:28 would go to like the open mics and do all the things but yeah I performed like at Flappers and Comedy Store and stuff 21:34 like that um it was a really fun for a moment but then again it takes like every night for 21:42 free to go pursue doing a thing hoping that somebody like you build a following and then they have like what they call 21:48 bringer shows which is like now you're like really great at five ten minutes like do a show and then bring people and 21:55 we'll give you time and so I'm like great now I'm doing this every night of the week for free and now I have to 22:01 guarantee that people are coming to pay to go see it's just like so exhausting 22:06 I'm like at what point do you make money doing this well I mean when it was somebody like Lauren Michaels or or or 22:13 or or some other producer that's looking for a female new funny comic to break because it because on the flip side they 22:21 got to put the same effort and money into you totally yeah in order to try to break you right 22:26 um you know because I I was in well I'm still in marketing um but I was in more nightclub marketing 22:32 back in the day and uh when I was at win we used to talk about billboarding a DJ 22:39 it would be breaking a DJ and we knew if we put up billboards with this person's face on it and their name that that 22:46 could actually make make their careers yeah um and um but it's the same way with you 22:51 know like if I if I was a producer and I and I wanted you you know I have to know that you're 22:57 going to go along with everything that we're going to be doing good bad and indifferent you know with with your 23:03 character or you know with comedy I'm not really familiar with comedy as much like breaking comedians or Comics but 23:10 um probably the only person I really know and like I met Brad Garrett um and got it what a funny the guy's 23:18 just a walking Comedy Festival I mean he just everything he comes out of his 23:23 mouth is funny and comedic um but Oz that's very interesting that you 23:29 know it was a fun it was a fun thing to do for a while and I thought about taking it further but again I just have 23:35 too many interests you got to really be committed for like a really long time to make that happen 23:41 um but I mean whatever it's another little skill in the back pocket I guess so out of all the comics that are out 23:47 there currently today um like which one would you say that that's my you know what I actually just 23:55 went and saw um Mike birbigula for probably like the third time and he does more storytelling 24:02 comedy have you heard of him you know what I probably do if I saw his face yeah I'm more of a facial person yeah 24:07 the name no I don't know if ever if like he's everybody's favorite but he has such like a story to every his whole 24:15 stand-up is almost like the moth like where it's like storytelling but then he has like jokes about everything that 24:21 he's telling it's not like set up punchline or like crowd work it's nothing like that and I don't know I 24:27 love like writing and I really appreciate that type of Comedy where you can carry somebody through like a whole 24:34 journey of like your a story or of your life and just find the humor in all of it and just be like so engaging he's one 24:41 of my favorites so yeah I guess yeah it's a different style nice yeah huh 24:46 yeah no I I don't know I just you know I I maybe I'm like old school 24:52 but like the Eddie Murphy the Chris rocks yeah like you know because they're like 24:57 Eddie Murphy was probably the best Storyteller but you don't know if it was a true story or it was a comedian story 25:02 yeah that's also that kind of bothers me yeah I know I kind of want to know if it's fact or fiction I I kind of want to 25:09 know yeah we could just make them it was a [ __ ] if that's the case like like drawing from like your your truth 25:16 of your experience yeah well it's like well my wife and it's like did your wife really like go through that she's okay 25:22 with it now he's like I don't even have a wife yeah yeah but there's a lot of things like 25:28 when we you know when a lot of these comedians say that they like to bring in like um 25:33 you know I feel like they're almost like verify like they're verifiable uh um people like for example like when 25:40 they say oh well my wife did this or my wife approved this or my wife got mad at me about this or my kids or my mom or 25:46 whatever they do that to kind of like make the story more believable but I wonder how much of it's really true I 25:52 don't know I do too I also wonder yeah well I mean think about if you make up 25:58 something really funny and you know even Adam Sandler does that you know like I've seen Adam Sandler 26:04 stand up and hilarious you know because again it's somebody that you relate to back to like Billy Madison days yeah and you watch him like 26:11 his whole like acting career and then now sudden now you actually get a piece of him and it's like you're not Billy Madison 26:17 you're not happy you know more you know you're not the guy from 50 First Dates you're not that sweet you know what I mean yeah so 26:24 so yeah so you know other than you know get back to you Mariah um you know so dancing was your passion 26:31 came out to Vegas and you just struck gold oh I mean I I wish it was that easy 26:37 okay well similar to well let's backtracking I played Sports growing up like danced 26:42 when I was really little and sports so I was I literally quit Dancing when I was like 11 years old to focus on Sports 26:48 full-time um what sports I was All-State basketball my Junior and Senior year volleyball state champion bodybuilder 26:55 like I was all about sports that was wow my thing I had a bunch of scholarships to play in college basketball and uh 27:02 ended up breaking my ankle at the wrong time and like The Scouting and everything was just kind of so then they're like you can try to walk on at 27:08 like CU or CSU and I was like I really want to do that and so my mom was like you were such a great little dancer go 27:13 out to Vegas for the summer After High School and just audition for things and here you go 18 years old go to Vegas my 27:21 mom like literally forced me she was like you know an apartment for three months go out there I mortified myself at every single 27:27 audition like it would be I had no idea what I was doing so I you know would show up and everyone was like in hip-hop clothes and 27:33 I was wearing like a you know showgirl outfit and so then the next one I would go in a showgirl outfit never like a 27:38 type type bun and the big things and everyone was you know in I just I missed the mark every single time so it's kind 27:45 of like that last uh it was right before summer summer summer break was over and I was like okay I'm gonna go home to 27:51 Colorado there's one more audition I'm gonna go audition for showing this guy at the Rio I don't know if I'm gonna get 27:56 it otherwise I'm getting in my car and I'm driving to Colorado um and I went to the audition there you 28:02 go yeah I gotta I gotta quit my life at some point and maybe the thing that I do 28:07 right before I didn't make that decision yeah it was it was definitely like okay this is where I'm supposed to be because 28:13 I was my car was packed I was moving back to Colorado for sure wow yeah think think the universe for okay so you 28:20 did oh so you got shot of the sky at 18. wow okay and then and then so from there 28:27 where did you oh I did that show for maybe nine months and then I did a magic 28:33 show in China I was out there for a couple months and then I literally did every single show I did for about six 28:40 months and then I literally thought it was the closer for shows because shows would be open so then I would do I'd 28:45 come into the cast and be there for like a month or two and then the show would close and then I'd go to another one and learn a new show and then I literally 28:52 closed like seven or eight shows in a row and I was like I think I'm bad luck I think if you hire me then your show 28:58 was gonna close uh so luckily I mean eventually all shows in Vegas end up you know running 29:05 their course of time um but uh gone would I've been at Fantasy for now 14 years so and I don't 29:11 I don't see us going anywhere wow so well so so what other shows did you do in Vegas oh I did 29:16 wyrick's magic show I did Greg Thompson Showgirls rhinestone cowgirls 29:24 um I did a couple shows in Laughlin um I lost track sometimes I look at my resume and I'm like oh yeah I forgot I 29:31 did that show wow so yeah I was on a bunch of billboards that was my biggest goal I had a ex-boyfriend break my heart 29:37 and he said oh you know your Grand Junction hot but you'll just be a dime a dozen he did not say that to you 29:44 what is that I was just like I remember like being 18 and driving up this trip and I was like I'm gonna see my face 29:50 strip you're gonna see me up here like I'm going to show him I've never talked to him again since I have no idea oh man 29:55 oh I I would actually go get the billboard and put it in his front yard so every time he walks out he's got to 30:02 look at the damn billboard and be like like hey you know Grand Junction hop right here that's right that's right two 30:08 Grand Junction hot sitting on one couch I mean no kidding I mean wow I mean I I 30:13 I I can hear so is do people think of Grand Junction that way 30:19 oh like small Towny okay okay yeah I would say some of the most amazing 30:24 people come from small towns I I mean I agree I mean you got to get diamonds in a rough and I probably have two of them right here no they all just come from 30:30 Grand Junction well I've been through Grand Junction I'd rather the car in Grand Junction but 30:36 but actually that great grant for a lot of people that don't know Grand Junction is like the Gateway if you're not going 30:42 to fly directly into Aspen you're flying Grand Junction it's about an hour and a half two hours 30:48 and uh you get an aspen that way or you can or you can go to what's that although we can't keep talking about 30:53 Grand Junction we're going to kill this podcast well I don't know everyone's going to move to Grand Junction be like that's where all the hot girls are I 30:59 don't know maybe we're going to create the hashtags Grand Junction hot all right we're going to change that whole 31:05 mentality I I actually have to send this to everybody I know that's from Colorado maybe we do have a whole marketing play 31:10 and be like hey um explain what Grand Junction hop means I like it that's 31:16 awesome that's my new hashtag when we were driving down we did me and David I just shot with David actually last 31:21 couple days and we did one little set at on this Sunset Strip and we saw your 31:27 billboard and I was like is that your friend and he's like yeah I'm gonna take a picture of a billboard from the car I 31:32 was like that's oh so cool I've been very lucky to be on lots of things and I'm I I have no 31:38 idea I have no idea how I got so lucky and I'm definitely not the best dancer or the prettiest or any of the things I 31:44 just maybe you are definitely not well you've graduation is hot yeah maybe 31:51 yeah but but the thing is I mean you know that that old saying Beauty's you know uh and and the eye of the beholder 31:57 you know to me like I think somebody can be extremely attractive and they could be the ugliest person I 32:03 know and and it goes both ways right yeah and I mean on top of it all I don't think anybody that's watching or 32:09 listening to this is going to think that you're anything but beautiful gorgeous talented sexy 32:17 um and you gotta check out the October issue because I think you're you're a little nakey in that one right I am it's 32:24 a little naughty is it so so how I mean how how far did is it just topless I 32:29 mean I haven't I I think I think you haven't looked I haven't I haven't it's 32:34 it's not like I feel like it's very classy it's of 32:40 course it's like flavorful it's definitely not you know any of the the porn things that you can see it's I feel like it's very very well done it's 32:47 I wouldn't know how to describe it except for um Playboy yeah Playboy yeah Playboy 32:54 okay so similar yep that's awesome yeah and then I got my mom's approval on it 33:00 so don't worry I was like David asked me and then I called my mom I was like do I want to do this and she was like yeah go 33:05 for it I was like you're probably sounds cool she is cool yeah well hey you know that's another thing you can do is you 33:11 can send that issue that magazine to the ex-boyfriend I broke her heart well I don't I don't even know how to find him 33:18 but uh well I mean it's probably a dead issue but but it would be but but it would be it'll be good or every X right 33:25 here's like here remember this so um yeah I mean but I I know this is this 33:34 is actually the cover and you know what I I think I'm interviewing David after 33:39 this and I might have to see if he has an issue and we might have to like you 33:44 know see what you look like naked there's articles in there too so you could read the articles no for sure 33:52 that's what most people right I do it for the Articles oh 100 yeah 33:58 old slogan or something no but it is kind of funny because when 34:03 me and David were kind of reconnecting and I said you know what I said I have an old issue of Playboy 34:09 that had an article with Wade Boggs his old baseball player uh played for the Boston Red Sox New York Yankees and I go 34:16 where he talked about he ate chicken the certain type of type of chicken before every single game 34:23 and that was like a Superstition with him and he goes I'm the one that shot that I did the whole thing he goes 34:29 matter of fact let me show you photos and and then he liked he liked Playboy so much obviously that he actually got 34:36 to come in and be mentored under David and he got to shoot a centerfold wow 34:42 um they brought Wade Boggs in I think it was Chicago or L.A it might have been Chicago at the studio 34:47 and he got to actually shoot and David has all these behind the scenes photos and how cool and I but I'm like God I 34:54 remember that I mean it you know I I actually collected Playboy issues thinking thinking that they were 35:00 actually going to be valuable back in the day right the huge Maryland fan myself um it's funny like my old condo was 35:07 nothing but Maryland wow wow and everybody's like oh man you know you think she's hot I go actually I'm I 35:12 thought she was like a boss like I really kind of respected her for like 35:18 doing it her way you know like Frank Sinatra says right I did it my way but 35:23 yeah this is awesome but I wish we had a lot more time to continue doing this this was a great great great segment 35:30 yeah thanks for having us we all love shit's creek we got to talk about that and also David yeah Dave is amazing yep 35:39 yep MEC magazine um yeah no it was definitely incredible 35:44 and and I got to learn what Grand Junction hop is or not but actually it definitely hot 35:50 you guys think 100 hot well thank you
