What Happened in Vegas Didn't Stay There | Eric Nadel
Mike finally went to Las Vegas. Yes, for the first time. At age 75 and change. And guess what? The man liked it.
So this episode is basically:Vegas stories → The Sphere melting everyone’s brain → Jackson Browne healing childhood wounds → mobster restaurants → Flamingo time travel → Fremont fever → the one guy at the airport who had seen some things → and a full debrief on the show-stopping Eagles performance featuring our special guest, the legendary Eric Nadel.
It’s part travel diary, part music nerdery, part “Oh God please get this man away from me in the terminal.”If you’ve ever wondered what happens when Reiner touches Vegas… well… this is it.
