I've heard things that are just horrid about Vegas in the 80s how they had cameras and rooms well Vegas in the 80s was all mob Vegas and the bathrooms have cameras so as soon as you do a blast you come out within 10 minutes of cops around here when did they when did the mob like officially get out of Vegas like what the mob is still in Vegas just short spurts it's crazy I was in New York last week and I realized how much construction was going on and I thought to myself how much of that is the mob still getting they had a tax for years 2% so if it's a 300 million dollar job do the math on that you make a big chunk on that the construction didn't get rich because the construction business is huge and you go to New York you know I can't give you accurate numbers because I don't know numbers are but look what the average is for a square foot of concrete in New York and look what the average is in Iowa I was reading something about that the square foot of counter to build a building in New York same the concrete is fucking insane so many hands are getting fucking greased you know you don't pay a job okay so so you don't pay it's like that one episode of the Sopranos so what I do is break your balls you were GC you don't want to pay me my money that's fine I send somebody from the Union down there and instead of me doing this come on through I gotta stop you I gotta take your book I gotta call the union to see if you're paid up with your dues we check your tire pressure we count the law let's count the windows on the truck pretty soon you got 30 trucks backed up and you're not making any money that's how they'd shake you down that's the shame then all you pay me okay the trucks go through don't worry what's on them we don't care who the driver is we don't care if he's union or non-union it's such a dirty business at that level that's the shakedown so Trump would be the GC on the job you pay your job runs smooth you don't pay so two percent of them went to the mob that the concrete tax then they had like another two percent right off the top to bid rid mid rig bid rig where we take we give it to Joe Rogan no matter what the price is we inflate the price even though Jamie comes in three million dollars cheaper I'm gonna give Joe Rogan that three and two more Joe Rogan's gonna kick that two to me and we're gonna do the job but that three million dollar profit plus I'm gonna take two percent off the top of that three million dollar profit
