Biggest loss was... i would here here is i would call this the biggest loss for many different reasons this this is what you know you live and you learn in life and you you know you figure things out as you go along so one night i'm over at the uh at the rio right and uh They got big suites over there.
So I go over there with some buddies and we got one of the suites and we have some dinner and we start drinking, right? So we're having some drinks at dinner and blah, blah, blah. Starts to ramp up, having a good time. And I make my way down to the high limit room. We start gambling. And I continue to drink, having a blast.
I end up leaving and going home that night, and I lost like 80 grand, right? So I wake up the next morning, I'm like, fuck, those motherfuckers got me for 80,000 last night. So I'm at work the next day, and the host over there calls me and he says, hey, Dana, are you coming back? Do you still need the room that you guys had where you ate and all the shit you used to?
And I said, no, I don't need the room, but don't get too comfortable with my fucking 80 grand. I'm coming back for it. Dead fucking silence on the other end of the phone. And he's like, Dana, you lost $3 million last night. What the fuck are you talking about? I, I only have a million and a half dollar credit line.
He goes, yeah, you made us call the GM of the hotel and you started calling him a fucking pussy and da, da, da, da. And I went, yeah, no, that, that. That sounds like something I would do, yeah. So that's the real number. That was the real number.
And then, you know, there's been a lot of cases where people are in Vegas and they're like, oh, you know, I lost all this money, you know, and they were giving me free drinks and I drank too much and I was taken advantage of. No, you stupid motherfucker. Man up. You got fucking drunk, right? They didn't.
the alcohol is free yeah but you don't have to fucking drink it you know what i mean and you know that this this was a huge learning lesson for me so i never drank again when i when i was playing cards after that night but yeah i mean when you ask me that's the one that came back the most as far as uh having a bad loss and then you know
Of course, I said call the GM, and I started calling him a pussy at 3 o'clock in the morning. Of course you did. That is something I would absolutely do.
They go hand in hand. The way that I play is I live in Vegas, so 2024 – is a war for me. I go to war in 24. Okay. All these nights that I play are little battles inside the war that I will fight in 24. Now at the end of the year, we will tell, you know, tally up all these little battles and see where I stand on when wins and losses. And, um,
You know, there's lots of talk out there about my gambling, you know, places that I've been kicked out of and things like that. And... I do pretty well. I do pretty well, but it's what I like to do. I don't gamble in a way that I would ever hurt myself or hurt my family. I'm sure you've heard the Norm MacDonald stories.
Norm MacDonald lost his entire personal wealth four times or something like that. Yeah, that's not going to happen to me.
So when I win... It's awesome. It's always great to win. Winning is a great feeling in business, in sports, in life, and definitely in gambling. Losing is never fun, but it's part of the game. You know what I mean? If you want to be in the game and it's sports, it's business or whatever, there's going to be wins and there's going to be losses.
And you have to take them both in stride and you have to be able to, you know, there's a lot of people, When you gamble, right, and you lose, and you go into a deep, dark depression, I've seen this with guys that do it, get depressed, gambling isn't for you.
You know, if you are the type of person that's on social media and people say horrible things to you and you get depressed and you shouldn't be on social media, you know what I mean? These are all part of being in the game.
When you're in the fucking game, great things happen and really bad things happen and you got to take it all in stride and you got to pick yourself up the next day, strap your fucking shoes back on and get out there and go to fucking war again. That's how it works.
All right.
It's the truth though. It's the truth though. Listen, every day when you get out of bed, life's standing right there to kick you in the fucking face, man. Could be anything. Could be you get up and you walk downstairs, you had a fucking flat tire and you're late for work and you got this and that. Life is going to throw all kinds of crazy shit at you, right? And you have to be ready for it.
And you got to fucking deal with it. You can't curl up into a ball. You can't run away from it. You can't hide. You have to take all this shit head on. You have to get up. Every day when I get up out of bed, I strap up and I'm getting ready for fucking war. Because I know I'm coming in here. I know a bunch of bad shit's going to happen that I'm going to fucking deal with.
And if that's not bad enough... When I finally get out of here, I'm probably going to go to the casino and I'm going to get into another fucking war. You know what I mean? I thrive in chaos. I actually love chaos. Everybody talks about retiring. Fuck that shit. What am I going to do when I retire? What would I do? What would I... I like to go to war. I like to battle. I like to win.
Sometimes I lose, but then I have to come back from the loss. And, uh, I love to build brands. I love to, um, set short-term and long-term goals and then knock them all down. You know, um, this is just the stuff that, that, that excites me and, and, and whether it's, um, business or, um, or gambling, or I like being a fan of things too. Like I like live music.
