The guys welcome Mark Wojtowicz Jr from the 360 Vegas Podcast to talk about his new book "Vegas: From Fremont to The Strip - How Las Vegas Casinos Evolved". They delve into the intriguing process of making the book, outlining how quickly it came together, and Mark shares his favorite story from the book that encapsulates the unique spirit of Las Vegas. Then, in Points to Ponder, all four of them engage in a discussion about the best Korn song and the most iconic rock video. They also get Mark's amusing thoughts on the unconventional pairing of butter and pop-tarts. And they find out if Mark has ever enjoyed the fast seafood delicacy known as Long John Silvers, while Mike shows his age, reminiscing about a commercial from the 1980's like it was yesterday.
