“I started listening with Episode 1 a little more than halfway through the doldrums of Covid-restricted living. My friends and I had just rescheduled our cancelled October 2020 LV trip for October 2021 and I just wanted to find some things to do that will make this trip more monstrous than ever. However, I rapidly became hooked and just earlier this week “caught up” to the most recent episode!
Scott, the host, is a true jokester, but also a remarkably sweet and genuine person. Near endless hours of the pod features him giggling and making jokes at his own expense, but that contrasts wonderfully with more “sober” moments. Because I started with episodes from years ago, I braced myself for episodes at the time of the Mandalay Bay shooting and the onset of the pandemic. Scott is at his best in those moments and processes the experiences in an elegant stream of consciousness that is comforting and authentic. Similarly, Scott interfaces with all of his guests naturally and empathetically, whether or not he likes what they do or offer.
Interestingly, I happened to know in advance that MelissaEmre would leave him at some point and was anxious about it, but what I didn’t know is that she would reappear! Their chemistry is charming and easy-going and MelissaEmre is a high value addition to the show, because she understands the tenor of the pod. More so, the fact I was actually anxious for Scott says it all about how well he connects with the audience!
I am all-in sold on spending time Downtown when I visit and expect it will be a fabulous embellishment on what is guaranteed to be a roaring great time! THANKS, SCOTT!!!”
