Past To The Future: Nevada Legalizes Gambling (1931) with Gaspare Randazzo

  • Resumen

  • In Episode 17 we welcome stand-up comedian and teacher Gaspare Randazzo for a hilarious, chaotic, and slightly dangerous episode. Gaspare shares his experience balancing a teaching career with performing comedy nationwide, as well as his family’s real-life history with the mafia. Then, we all play Past to the Future, rewriting history in 1931 Nevada, where Jordan plays Hollywood icon Clara Bow and somehow gets into a high-stakes poker match against a mob boss. Takeaways: Teaching & Stand-Up Comedy are More Similar Than You Think – Gaspare shares how crowd work in comedy and engaging students in a classroom require the same skills. Rewriting Gambling History Was a Wild Ride – The crew plays Past to the Future, setting their adventure in 1931 Nevada, right as gambling is legalized. Jordan (As Clara Bow) Almost Got Whacked – Clara humiliated a mob boss at the poker table, and things nearly turned deadly. Gaspare’s Family Had REAL Mafia Run-Ins – His grandfather refused to pay protection money to the mob, leading to fistfights outside a Brooklyn candy store. We Accidentally Made Reno More Important Than Vegas – In this version of history, Clara Bow’s influence created a celebrity-driven casino boom, shifting the gambling world away from mob control. -- Want more Gaspare Randazzo? @StandUpRandazzo Watch on YouTube: @mrs.woolleyin5th Listen Anywhere You Podcast: Apple, Spotify, PodChaser, etc. For questions, thoughts, symptoms, and stories, you may contact us at: wearefinepod.com — Produced by Human Content Learn more about your ad choices.
