I know zilch about MMA or UFC, so it’s always strange to mix it up with any of those folk. Their ears are jacked up. I had worked with a couple guys at the Reebok Spartan Race the year before and found them fun to hang out with. Spent a couple days with an up and comer who’s training regimen seemed on the dark side of brutal. Day one was all training at a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu dojo, then day two was just dopey San Antonio Riverwalk b-roll.

Seemed really soon to be back in Las Vegas after COPS. Had a nice time interviewing some other magicians and former casino advisers. While the Strip does little for me, everyone should witness the spectacle at least once in person.
