This interview didn't fit in our show this week about the "O" anniversary, so we're posting it as an extra. Enjoy.

With David Copperfield in the news again, here's our revealing chat with the magician from December 2005.

From doping to dogfighting, illicit gambling to alleged armed robbery, this has been a year of sports scandal in America. And yet a recent ESPN poll found that the public still views the uproar that led to the banishment of Pete Rose from Major League Baseball as one of the five worst ever. Rose, probably the best player of his generation, now spends 15 days a month signing autographs at the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, where he took a break to chat with Steve about everything from his gambling habit – or lack thereof – to his empathy for Paris Hilton. In Banter: Harrah's hotel-room problem, Steve's gambling bender and more. Call us 206-424-4737, email [email protected], visit the blog at thestrippodcast.blogspot.com

The nightclub scene may be giving Vegas shows a run for their money, but daytime entertainment is thriving like never before. Tourists flock to them to get out of the heat, to avoid those wretched Hoover Dam tours or maybe to take advantage of a great deal, but once they’re seated they more often than not feel they’re having a much better time than they might’ve expected. Two veterans of Vegas daytime, Ronn Lucas and Mac King, join us this hour to talk about their shows and their impressive careers.

In Banter:  A Palms-based reality show, Barry Manilow's View run-in, why Vegas paparazzi are lame/tame and the Scintas make a move.

In Banter: OJ leftovers, steve's hearing aid mess, another Hard Rock and Mark returns!

Steve Wynn. Need we say more? The always provocative Vegas visionary is back to talk about everything from the booming nightclub business to his latest fine art purchase to that flabby, uncouth pop tart he had tossed from the premises last month. Mr. Wynn also surprised Steve by dragging one of his prominent Vegas allies on the line with them for a bit. Plus, O.J. Simpson was arrested in Vegas -- or how our calm little Sunday was ruined by a maniac who should�ve been locked up in 1995. In Banter: OJ, MGM Mirage's smut site and Rosh Hashanah at Piero's. E-mail [email protected], read the blog at thestrippodcast.blogspot.com, call 206-424-4737
