[01:17:26] S1: Yeah, yeah, I do find the short sleeping contest in American business a very funny one because it's like very proven, deleterious cognitive effects. [01:17:37] S0: Yeah. And you can watch people in meetings that don't get enough sleep and they're not technically asleep, but their brains are turned off. You can just see they're like, they're zoned out. Like, I've always slept a lot, but one of the other things I used to do is count cards. And I particularly realized it. When I go to Vegas to count cards, I would only sleep like three hours a night because I just wanted to maximize time at the table. And I realized that when I got tired, like- You lost count? Well, I was having to go back and check. I was like, I could just glance at a table. I'd done it so much, I'd see it. And I was having to like, and realized this is, I'm probably making [01:18:14] S2: I'm maximizing time and [01:18:15] S0: losing I'm max, you know, when I get tired, I need to, and I stop doing that. [01:18:19] S1: I started [01:18:20] S0: just going to bed and getting back to my eight and a half hour sleep. [01:18:22] S2: Are you still allowed back to Vegas or are you blocked?

[01:18:22] S2: Are you still allowed back to Vegas or are you blocked? [01:18:25] S0: I mean, I'm allowed to go, but I'm not allowed to play blackjack. I still, like, I went back for the Super Bowl when it was in Vegas and I'd gotten a credit line set up to play poker. And so I sat down at the poker tables, had to give them my ID. And so they came back out and a manager came over. And like, it was like fifteen years ago that I got barred at the Bellagio last time. And the manager comes over and he's like, Mr. Kirby, you're welcome to play any game in the casino, but just so you know, still no butt check. I wanna play it, dude. Okay. [01:18:53] S2: That is like... It's like when you get a little bit older and you buy some booze and they check your ID. They your ID. That's like the platinum version [01:19:01] S0: of it. [01:19:02] S1: Yeah. True. True. [01:19:03] S0: That's true. Yeah. [01:19:03] S1: And with card counting these days in Vegas, are they [01:19:06] S0: It's impossible today. [01:19:07] S1: Yeah. So are they blocking this with multiple decks and shuffling frequently? [01:19:11] S0: Well, they also changed the rules. That's Rules, all things, it's like 65 blackjack. Like, the math isn't... [01:19:18] S1: They just subtly changed the [01:19:19] S0: odds, so yeah. They've changed the odds and... [01:19:20] S2: I don't think it's very subtle. [01:19:23] S0: Apparently, people still do [01:19:24] S1: it. Alrighty. [01:19:25] S0: All right. It's been fun. It was awesome. I enjoyed it. [01:19:28] S1: Thank you. [01:19:28] S0: Yeah. Thanks, John.

[01:19:28] S0: Yeah. Thanks, John. [01:19:29] S1: Go deep into a lot of stuff.
