Rickles. 39:13.037 --> 39:14.058 [SPEAKER_03]: Why I love Doug Ripple. 39:14.138 --> 39:15.941 [SPEAKER_01]: Don Ripple, that was the last one. 39:16.321 --> 39:18.104 [SPEAKER_01]: How long did you work with Doug Ripple? 39:18.124 --> 39:19.826 [SPEAKER_01]: So you worked as his opener, right? 39:19.846 --> 39:24.792 [SPEAKER_03]: I want to have that happen, because they will customize them all in in Sanatra. 39:25.592 --> 39:29.814 [SPEAKER_03]: thought I was ready to go to big rooms and perform. 39:30.475 --> 39:39.119 [SPEAKER_03]: And he thought I should work in a room, but not do the whole show until I got familiar with, you know, the mannerisms at all that. 39:39.860 --> 39:47.624 [SPEAKER_03]: And he arranged for me to open as the opening after a half hour of singing, because he's a comic, obviously. 39:48.244 --> 39:49.865 [SPEAKER_03]: And we were a great combination. 39:49.905 --> 39:51.746 [SPEAKER_03]: We traveled for six or seven months, 39:55.456 --> 40:17.687 [SPEAKER_03]: At first, on January 18, 1970, 1979, I met Donald Trump and he came backstage with his wife and I thought the God was lying. 40:17.727 --> 40:18.968 [SPEAKER_03]: I just did my half hour. 40:19.888 --> 40:23.631 [SPEAKER_03]: And they said, don't Donald Trump and Ivana Trump want to see you. 40:24.311 --> 40:26.093 [SPEAKER_03]: I see you, and Dick Tracy wants to see you. 40:26.493 --> 40:27.634 [SPEAKER_03]: They said, no, they really hear. 40:28.034 --> 40:29.435 [SPEAKER_03]: But make a long story short. 40:29.875 --> 40:43.025 [SPEAKER_03]: Then I became he used the one that had me become a headliner because I opened Trump castle for him the following year in 1990. 40:44.286 --> 40:46.708 [SPEAKER_03]: In February, I opened as a headliner. 40:49.490 --> 40:52.433 [SPEAKER_03]: 40 years later, here I am still doing it, love it. 40:53.094 --> 40:54.014 [SPEAKER_01]: That's incredible. 40:54.275 --> 40:57.057 [SPEAKER_01]: So tell me, you started out in Vegas, you had a wig store? 40:57.217 --> 40:59.099 [SPEAKER_01]: What was your first business in Las Vegas? 40:59.900 --> 41:00.560 [SPEAKER_03]: Oh my God. 41:01.301 --> 41:03.183 [SPEAKER_03]: My first business in Las Vegas. 41:04.424 --> 41:05.465 [SPEAKER_03]: I opened a week store. 41:05.825 --> 41:07.567 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, my Johnny Russel's wig world. 41:08.027 --> 41:11.010 [SPEAKER_03]: I opened the jewelry store, Russel, Custaldi, Julius. 41:11.830 --> 41:13.191 [SPEAKER_03]: I had a lot of business there. 41:13.691 --> 41:16.113 [SPEAKER_03]: I actually thought I was gonna, I enjoyed it. 41:16.133 --> 41:24.019 [SPEAKER_03]: I was there for a while, but I was doing a big money business, and I don't know if you know about taking money to the Vatican, that was my cover. 41:24.440 --> 41:28.423 [SPEAKER_03]: But anyway, it was just totally crazy. 41:28.743 --> 41:32.766 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, you have done so many different things. 41:33.626 --> 41:39.431 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, and the thing is, I don't know knowing you as much as I do. 41:40.279 --> 41:44.060 [SPEAKER_01]: What's your, and I don't think you can pick what, and maybe you can, and I just don't know. 41:44.121 --> 41:49.162 [SPEAKER_01]: But out of all of your businesses, what when right now is your favorite. 41:50.663 --> 41:52.003 [SPEAKER_03]: What should we all about out there? 41:52.324 --> 41:57.045 [SPEAKER_03]: I like, I'm doing something now that's probably involves the world. 41:58.426 --> 42:00.307 [SPEAKER_03]: So I mean, I'm just expanding. 42:00.347 --> 42:09.010 [SPEAKER_03]: So I'm expanding my food and liquor business, and we're just about to, you know, put another $100 million in this business. 42:11.857 --> 42:19.243 [SPEAKER_03]: check, but no, it's a legacy here and again, because I started off my first business. 42:20.825 --> 42:22.426 [SPEAKER_03]: I was selling both my pants. 42:25.068 --> 42:29.892 [SPEAKER_03]: I'd buy them for 10 cents and somebody gave me a quarter, so person gave me a dollar. 42:30.533 --> 42:33.435 [SPEAKER_03]: And it's nice to see where it evolved, you know? 42:34.265 --> 42:36.366 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'd say it worked out just fine. 42:36.766 --> 42:37.547 [SPEAKER_01]: Just fine. 42:38.207 --> 42:38.727 [SPEAKER_01]: I love it. 42:38.987 --> 42:40.148 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's fantastic. 42:40.348 -->
