Chapter 1: What hidden secrets does a casino security guard reveal?
When I smoke weed, I get lost in the music. I like to isolate each instrument. The rhythmic bass, the harmonies on the piano, the sticky melody.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Careful, babe. There's someone crossing the street.
Sorry, I didn't see him there. If you feel different, you drive different. Don't drive high. It's dangerous and illegal everywhere. A message from NHTSA and the Ad Council. And she said, Johnny, the kids didn't come home last night.

Chapter 2: How did the casino handle overflow cash during busy weekends?
You don't have to change my voice or anything. I just wanted to tell you guys this. It's kind of funny. So years ago, I was at work And I got one of those like emails from a deposed Nigerian prince, you know, who needs your money? And I was bored and I wondered, what would happen if I just like actually responded to this? And I did.
And then there was this like back and forth between me and this random, you know, Nigerian prince. And I was telling him like, I have a lot of money that I could give you, but I'm not sending you any money until I a hundred percent. No, you're legit. So I need you to send me money first. And so eventually I actually got the Nigerian guy to wire me $400 and it came through and I was like,
Oh my God. Like this actually worked. Like I may have to start like a new business where I start scamming the scammers. But after that, I just go to them. Anyway, I love your guys' show. I don't know if you guys will even hear this, but I appreciate you. Bye. Oh my God. That's awesome. Why am I worried that someone actually gave her their life savings? Yeah, I know. Watch.
That turns out to be the one legitimate Nigerian prince who was actually deposed. He really did need help. It's actually pretty funny. That's crazy. I love the voicemail version. Yeah, me too. But we've got to keep it moving to our caller who's been waiting on the phone wanting to come clean. He's chosen Prince Amika Obi as his fake name. No way. No, I'm just kidding. He's chosen Perry.
Not a very Nigerian sounding name. Brooke, you would have been scammed. You thought he was a prince. Yeah. How much money you need? Perry, man, welcome to the show.
Hey.
That would be the Nigerian friends. Hey, what's up? Calling from Nigeria. What's up? Hey, Perry, man. Thanks for being on with us. Your voice changer is on. You are the mass speaker. Whenever you're ready, we want to hear your confession. Okay. Well, I used to work security at a casino. Oh, this is going to be interesting. I was just going to say, that's probably the most exciting security job.
Tell us, tell us. So they had a vault in a secured area where they kept the majority of the house money. Okay, Ocean's Eleven, what happened? But that room wasn't that big. So if we ever had a really busy weekend...

Chapter 3: What unusual storage solution was used for excess casino money?
And the house did really well. They didn't know where to store the extra money they brought in. Oh. You're like the trunk of my car. You can just leave it there. I've got a bunch of pockets right here.
You can just put them in here.
Hey, I'm just going to start putting them into these slots. That's a good idea. Okay, so they did have a vault. The vault was small, and sometimes it couldn't fit all the money in. That's what you're saying? It was like a big weekend. Yeah. Yeah, like you actually could not physically fit all the money into our actual vault. Wow. Is this a secret that we get?
Is what they did with the extra overflow money? Yeah. Okay. Then only a few people know about this. Oh, okay. Okay. We're on the inner casino circle now. They would actually store the extra cash in this dingy, like this cruddy shed that out in the middle of the parking lot. What? It was so plain looking.
Nobody, nobody ever would suspect that there was even anything in there except maybe trash or junk, but there was bags of money in there. What? Are you kidding me? Probably just like a padlock on the shed. Dude, that's so risky because what if there's a snitch like you out there, you know? Drunk people wandering around. What if there's a hurricane?
Yeah.
money storm for everybody oh it's a money nato oh no it's so true though because i mean there would at any given time there was literally millions of dollars inside and it's on it was just it was just some cheap padlock A couple cameras in the parking lot. That's it? Nothing bad ever happened.
Were you ever tempted to steal it yourself and just be like, well, that was a dumb idea for you guys to put it there? Or not steal it yourself, at least tell a few buddies. There it is. And be like, by the way. There was only a couple of us who knew. It would have gotten back. That's smart. It's been a couple years. And I've left that job. I don't know if they've changed or upgraded their wall.
Are you tempted to go check the shed? I'm certainly like casino parking lots looking for that shed. Yeah. Every casino lot I'm looking for a shed now. Dude. I'm not going to say the name, but it is by far got to be the worst casino security system. It's the Bellagio, isn't it?

Chapter 4: What risks were associated with storing money in a shed?
No, they didn't. It's crazy. I don't, I just, it still baffles me. Hidden in plain sight. That's where that term comes from. Yeah. And you know, it's like whoever your boss was that came up with that idea is just some old crusty dude that's like, you know what we should do? Put it in the shed. And no one will look in there. Yeah. And he was right.
He also at home just stores all of his savings in his mattress. Yeah. Totally. Same guy. Yeah. All this money couldn't even get a better vault.
Yeah.
