Your skill in creating an environment where individuals feel comfortable and willing to discuss their experiences is truly commendable. Your ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures is a testament to your genuine curiosity and empathy. By actively listening to their stories and providing a platform for their voices to be heard, you are contributing to a more inclusive and understanding world. It is no small feat to create content that encourages honest conversations, fosters empathy, and promotes cross-cultural understanding. Your dedication to showcasing the human side of various communities and shedding light on lesser-known aspects of our world is truly admirable. Your work serves as an inspiration for others to embrace open-mindedness, compassion, and a genuine interest in learning from different perspectives. Through your videos, you have undoubtedly helped bridge gaps between cultures and fostered a sense of unity among viewers. Thank you for your exceptional talent, your passion for storytelling, and your commitment to creating meaningful content.

[@gardensofthegods]

@@PeterSantenello I just thought of an easy way that Titus from the other vid could earn some extra money : Get his phone set up with 1-800 numbers so he can do inspirational messages . He could have various prompts, where there could be a daily message , another prompt could be a message for those who just lost a loved one , another prompts could be for a person who's very confused , etc . in other words , various categories/ messages . Only problem is he probably needs some kind of ID to set it up ? And have the money in a bank account which he probably doesn't believe in and wouldn't be able to set up unless he has valid ID ... maybe his parents could set it up for him . It's just an idea . Because if he wants a woman they're probably going to prefer him drilling for a well somewhere on that land for water and eventually indoor plumbing and probably some electricity ( especially if they want kids ; otherwise a hard life for that woman ) . Anyway , RUSH is one of my all-time favorites also . R.I.P. NEIL PEART .

Legends. To sit in a room with Harry AND Rich Little cannot be understated. We wish we could see Frank Sinatra live or Dean Martin but sadly they are no longer here. Rich Little is and he is Vegas Golden Years Royalty. So glad to see him still doing his thing.

Wow, what a lucky circumstance to meet the legendary Richard Little. His impressions are ageless and I remember watching him as a kid in the 70's.

It’s a Bay Area thing. He reminds me of myself and many other people from the San Francisco Bay Area.

It’s because he interviews them on the street a lot and let’s them talk as much as they like. Great editing! Environment and editing. Depression with comedians is real. I’ve spent 5 seasons working around bob odenkirk on better call Saul. I’ve never seen him walk without looking at the ground.

Definitely a class act. I was surprised to see Rich Little. I remember him making fun of Reagan and having a conversation with Johnny Carson playing Johnny Carson.

Oh wow! Mr. Basil is from my era, what a neat opportunity to revisit my younger days! I grew up on Abbott & Costello and Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis. Started my adult life in the 80s, nothing like those days. I think comedy in then was much better than everyone today being so touchy. It was just that, meant to be funny not personal digs. I am already watching this a second time, I LOVE THIS!!! Thank you Peter!

[@bobwilliamson9562]

I agree as I'm in my late 60's and no matter what life is today, I still think life was so much better back in the 60's and 70's. While comedians get you to laugh at things happening today. Politicians have ruined life as we knew it.

I married a comedian too. He doesn’t perform anymore, but like Rich Little said, the type of humor a general audience likes changes over time. If my husband did the act he used to do, he probably would end up canceled.

We still remember the good ole days when comedy and comedians were OFF THE CHAIN. Btw. NEVER FORGET!!! Alot of the old school comedians ( black, white, asian, hispanic/latino or who ever ).

I live in NE Nevada and the rural Nevadans do not like Vegas except for the occasional entertainment and sports opportunities. Las Vegans feel like it subsidizes the rest of the state…and they probably do…but the rurals feel like they don’t have a voice in where NV is headed. Nevada is so much more than Vegas and Reno…but…we like to keep that quiet! I enjoy ALL your videos!!🥰

Ya know, the days when the world wasn’t offended by every little thing & had a sense of humor?

[@Dr_Larken]

6:31 I love how he's talking about his dad up and left, only for it to allow him to pursue making films ultimately becoming a better person! I hate it when people make excuses for their self, especially when it's simply something like lacking motivation become better only to cry about it and blame it on other people! I can understand if you come from a household and it wasn't so great. Constantly being harassed having a parent or parents blaming you for everything! But as you was growing up if you were able to go to school, able to eat “even though it might not have been a lot” & not having Zachary what you wanted when you wanted it. You had a pretty good! If you're consistently blaming others because of your downfall or what seems to be you are unlucky “first of all if you relying on luck and karma to survive you're screwed” I doubt you would ever do this but 1) there's always somebody that has it worse than you! 2) I don't care who you are whenever you have free time educate yourself I'm literally anything to make yourself better! But if you have a limited free time, and you're on it at such as TikTok or something watching videos that after said videos you didn't at least learned one thing from it you can't blame nobody but yourself! Especially if you have a passion, do you have no problem telling people you have a passion but yet you never pursue it, I understand it it doesn't make money. But that's where you understand and learn at least some understanding how many works everybody should learn that! There's a reason they don't teach you exactly how many works, taxes “there's a reason wealthy people don't pay a lot of taxes” if you have to do anything in your life you should at least understand the basics of it! Anything to do with money “loans, purchasing a vehicle or anything else that requires financing” anything else that you have to pay somebody else to do for you!

I always here from people older employees and people you lived here that the old days were great. Everyone dresses up. All the workers were making money from tips. The "made guys" would make sure visitors would not be rude to the workers. Less crime in town and less crime against tourist. Comps were easier to get from the hotels. I used to hear some great stories when I worked at the Tropicana. Now sadly they plan to tear it down in about 2 years for a baseball stadium. Tropicana and Las Vegas Blvd is the busiest intersection in Nevada. About 90,000 cars pass that intersection a day.
