The king of observations is in rare form today and the topics are flying out fast and furious. Here as Tommy makes social commentaries on rapid construction, gang violence, and an in depth plan to solve Las Vegas’ transportation problem.
If there is still time after the dissertation, the fellas also discuss dive bars, $10 hummers, the final four women vying for the “Miss This Ain’t Iowa” crown, and the ground breaking announcement that will change the course of the show forever.

Like Chuck is going to walk anywhere?
Brian…totally know what you mean about that couple you don’t want to hang out with. I used to live in Vegas, and a friend and I met this couple at a poker table one night and exchanged numbers. I thought they were pretty fun at first, but THEY WOULD NOT LEAVE US ALONE. I mean, Jesus. Actually, I really like the wife, but the husband is a total douche. And he’s a Yankees fan. Christ. Fortunately, whenever we played I would take all his money.
Baseball play for today:
I’m on Colrado RL
Aaron Cook is solid and the Rocks have been hitting Webb well this year. Fourth time they have faced him already.
Rockies +1.5
Season Total: -388
Brian,
Perhaps Richie goes by M. McFly on the message boards.
Venting some misdirected anger at your friend Tommy last week.
I think i know why tommy “changed” his name, because it must have been gates. Mon is in the black sea and dad is coming in from mexico. I’ve never seen people travel like this before. I think that it’s been changed to protect the family fortune.
I know it’s difficult to imagine females taking any interest in either of you…but what about having a “Mr TAI” contest for the ladies who listen?
Hey Tommy just listening to the cast at the moment. How did you pass maths in school?
An old story resurrected:
http://www.lvrj.com/news/7606737.html
The fugitive priest who was accused of assault via wine bottle, sexual assault via groping and assault by stomping before taking on the lam last January.
Come again Joe,
If you listen to me talk I would think you would be questioning my English rather than my Math.
By the way Rockies RL is -135 @ Stations
I’m looking forward to the 3 times a week release change for TAI. It’ll definitely help out with the WSOP coming up to dedicate a show to “live” coverage. Though do you guys plan on still putting out about an hour per show?
You guys gave me tons of stuff to choose from for the outro music and I’m cool with taking requests–makes it easier for me. If you wanna throw your suggestions out there I’ll try to get em in. I’ll have the latest segment sent over to you guys tonight or tomorrow. (Heroes season finale is on tonight, so most likely tomorrow)
Lastly, I just wanted to put this out there… Brian tries to open up and admit he has a gambling problem to Tommy and what does TD do? He talks about himself and basically ignores Brian’s call for help.
Half an hour later Brian is trying to quickly get past his dislike for another couple and Tommy D brings the show to a stop to get as much information as possible. You can’t get much more classic TAI than that, I love it
Tommy – When talking about the baseball crowds you mentioned that the population had gone up 1.85 million when it should be 1.4 million.
Also don’t want to influence anyone but will you guys have a chance of getting Katie Reese on the show after discribing her as SKANKY
Guys – great news about the show will be me more time to slacken off at work cheers. You may even get me fired.
Steve – Destination Calabria is a song that might be ok but we need to somehow get the clip to go with it. See below.

B4 anyone else gets in I know I was pulling Tommy up about his maths then can’t even spell correctly!!
Thanks for sticking up for me Steve, but fear not! In a few weeks when we discuss Tommy’s new living situation, I will turn into the Grand Inquisitor.
“Prize” Package arrived today! I’ll post a picture of them on the TAI Friends website later. I haven’t listened to the new show yet, but I thought I’d share with everyone what I got and what I estimated the value at:
- Free lap dance coupon at Seamless that expired last week ($0, WOULD have been nice 7 days ago)
- $1 chip from Gold Coast that looked like Chopper chewed on it for about 10 minutes (-$4, at a $5 minimum BJ hand that I will lose for sure)
- Free admission card for Pure($10 and 3hrs standing in line)
- 2 business cards advertising the show ($0)
- Fiesta Henderson baseball cap (a generous $1)
- Sport water bottle from the Stardust ($0.17)
- “Whalebone” plastic mug from the Stardust ($0.09)
- “Dabbin’ Fever” bingo dauber ($5, only because BMo says these things are like gold in bingo halls)
- Nevada Council on Problem Gambling autographed by the hosts (Priceless, not because of the autographs, but because if I pay attention to it I might end my degenerate gambling)
All in all, it was an interesting bunch of crap. The most expensive part of the package was the postage used to send it. It kind of reminded me of a gift a poor retarded boy would get his grandma for her birthday- whatever randon crap he could dig out of his parents’ basement closet. Low in dollar value, but priceless in sentimental value.
Seriously though, TD and BMo, I really appreciate the prizes. I thought it was cool that you took the effort to follow through with prize promise. I will put them on display in my living room until next NCAA tourney time, or at least until my fiance throws them away later tonight.
Hawkeye:: LMFAO……………..
Like the new show format, guys… but sounds like some “work” might actually be involved………
To be fair, we did promise a “skanky prize package”. All in all I think we delivered, heavy on the skanky! Glad you got it Brad. Plenty more shitty prize packages where that came from.
Hawkeye: What? No used parlay cards in the prize package? I guess Tommy didn’t want to give away next Christmas’s stocking stuffers…
“kind of reminded me of a gift a poor retarded boy would get his grandma for her birthday- whatever random crap he could dig out of his parents’ basement closet”
Too funny Hawkeye!!
WOW.
Tommy actually coughed up his Stardust Bong?
I’m sure grad school will be a lot more tolerable after a couple of sweet tube pulls off that badboy.
PS Tobacco Water Bong
G’day, just quietly all of the TAI Poll girls need a feed?!
Skinny chicks! YIKES (but still HOT!)
However how did a BIG BUM girl not make the list?
I have a penchant for big & round, as I’m sure many other listeners do.
(& MoFobes that also means when I play poker I love being on ‘The Bubble’ if there is a MILF at the poker table)
I Dunno? Am I just a bit sick like that? I love a bit of wobble on a chick.
So anyway I voted for Miss Nevada (Hoping she has been munching on cakes since & avoiding side sit-ups).
Dipper is fucked if wants cellulite so dont listen to him
As a degenerate sports gambler, I am really looking forward to the new Monday show. I am down to one out, as the offshore industry has all but collapsed, but it will still be great to get your sports gambling perspective.
I followed both of your picks during the basketball season. Unfortunately, I did not bet them for most of the season as I had no idea you guys actually knew what you were talking about.
Tommy, it looks like you are definitely playing with an edge in college hoops. Will be interested to get more of your insights on the business and handicapping. What success I have had in football and basketball is a mathematical approach, getting numbers that beat the market, and looking for middles and arbitrage situations. What limited handicapping skills I have are confined to some situational opportunities.
Brian, you have been doing great as well, still not sure if you actually have an edge. Not meant as an insult, just don’t think the sample size is big enough yet. Good luck with your shows in New York.
Listening to the podcast now….
Nicole Eggert!
I remember back in 2003 when I was at the Standard Club (LA) with some friends and I noticed this hot blonde that looked like she was all cracked out…… And then it hit me, it was that girl from Charles in Charge. Either she was really drunk or just high on coke or something….
She looked like a wreck though….
Anyways, I voted for Nicole Eggert. Nothing better than having a 20 second eye contact with some drugged up former lifeguard on Baywatch…
Finally caught a bit of a break yesterday, maybe I get on a little run late in this horrible month.
Today’s Play:
L.A. Dodgers in a pick
The Brewers are vulnerable against lefties and Randy Wolf is throwing well. He beat me two starts ago. Sheets is great but contact hitters with speed can frustrate him. L.A. has great speed at the top and doesn’t strikeout much.
Season Total: -288
Hawkeye – That prize package looks like stuff you’d find in a porn slappers backpack.
If it’s any consolation, I’ll be using your picks in my office pool next year, if they’re for sale.
No offense taken ScottJ. It’s true, I don’t have the experience that TD has in the handicapping world. I make my plays (almost) strictly from the sports angle as I don’t feel I have any advantage from a mathematical standpoint. This is the first year I’ve bet with real regularity and I’m pleased with my results, but I’m definitely looking forward to learning a thing or two under the new format.
You guys had business cards for this thing printed? Sounds like somebody’s wife is pulling down some nice ching at the non-profit. What do they do, wait for the books to balance and then divy up what’s leftover to insure the business remains non-profit?
Shannon Elizabeth?? Are you fucking kidding me? This is such a joke, if anyone got to hang out with eric lindgren, antonio esfandari, etc. They would be so much better at poker than she will ever be and also she can’t play naked, so she is useless. And it’s more than i can take that she “needs” someone to pay for her to play. Like she can’t afford the $10,000. If she win this contest, i need to find another podcast. Sorry for the rant, i just can’t stand Shannon Elizabeth.
Yzerman:
Why can’t she play naked?
Steve, Is she plays naked, i’m in. If not, send her on her way. The only thing that she has going for her, is her tits. That’s it.
A good pair still beats Ace King any day. I hear you though Captain…aside from one scene in American Pie, she does little for me….Old Eggert is sucking hind titty in the spokesmodel race. She’ll be back to doing both Coreys in the same film if this gig doesn’t work out for her.
I can’t believe you guys remembered Victoria Day!!! We Canadians only look forward to it because, along with Easter, it’s one of only two paid holidays in the first half of the year! I don’t exactly know what purpose it serves, but apparently it has something to do with a former queen…
And I’d also like to take a second to say that I’m all for Shannon Elizabeth playing poker naked. I think that would simply be the pinnacle of the sport and we should stop at nothing until such a situation becomes reality.
Nice work on the Dodgers Tommy.
Tony, hope you will have some more Aussie rules tips this w/e.
1-1 last w/e, maybe because you bet with your heart when you picked the Saints?
Hey guys, I’ve been a closet “this ain’t iowa” listener for months now– I’m finally admitting my addiction. I’ll be driving to Vegas tomorrow for a couple of days. Don’t worry, I’m not going to invite you guys for drinks– you would probably freak me out a little in person.
On the podcast, though, the show is a blast. Don’t try to over-exert yourselves with 3 shows a week– you need to focus on what’s important: poker, porn, and partying. Anyway, keep it on!
No the bet went in before three of our best players were ruled out, no way I would have taken the bet if I had have known that.
Great first post there vegaspilgrim. Welcome to the website, hope to see you post more often.
Just as an FYI the 3rd casino comp segment was sent off to the guys last night. Enjoy.
PS. My vote went to Miss Ex-Nevada
BMo checking in! What’s up everyone. Just wanted to say I’m in NY and have yet to be spit on, so far so good. Don’t have regular access to the internet, so I’ll check in when I can. Definitely wanted to say welcome to Vegaspilgrim. Gotta love someone who says, “I’m coming to Vegas and don’t want to meet you.” Classic. Later.
good luck
O.K. I’ve also been a “closest listener” for a while and I will explain why there are many of us. Other Vegas podcasts fall into two types, the newscasts and the visitors advice. TAI is more like the Weekly World News, entertaining, but totally full of crap and should only be paid attention to by people who will take it with a grain of salt, a sqeeze of lime, and the entire bottle of tequila it will take to make it through an entire show. Looking forward to 3 shows a week, if only to waste more of my employers’ time. Thanks guys.
-later
What’s happening is everyone on holidays. This has been the most dissapointing replies. FIRE UP EVERYONE.
Holy crap! Did anyone else have to double take at the “box o’ crap” picture? For some reason I first saw that and saw “rape kit” complete with bright orange dildo, light blue bottle of lube, a dirty magazine, and maybe some condoms. Thank god I went back to look. With that mess, I think I would have rathered the rape kit.
And here’s a funny article about Las Vegas tourists, and how f’n lazy they are… http://www.wjla.com/news/stories/0507/425980.html
That is hilarious! Freaking losers. Castanzination of America.
I nearly got mowed down by one of those things in the Plaza last January. This cat was at least 3 bills and traveling well over the 5 mph max noted in the article. I think he was one of the twins who used to ride the mopeds on the back of the Guinness Book of World Records now living off his fame at the Plaza.
Here he is. I think he is the one on the right.

Wait till all the 20something hollywood sluts hear about this one. Can you imagine Paris, Lindsey, and Brittney on a Rascal skank parade. That’s so hot.
Wow bdell. I like how you look at water bottles and a hat and immediately think rape. And you guys think Tommy and I have problems? Sheesh.
Quick update for everyone…Much like our neighbors to the north on Victoria Day, Tommy and I aren’t keen on working on holidays, so no new show on Monday. On the bright side, because of my traveling and Tony visiting with friends (ie drinking til he blacks out) the “Friday” show won’t be out until tomorrow. So the wait won’t seem so excruciating. Please post all death wishes here, then take a moment to reexamine your life.
