Im thinking of you sitting on those guys heads. But what i really appreciate about you honestly is your personality. So good with the audience. I try to have a good time. If im having fun up here youre having fun out there. I always try to remember that. The audience can tell if someone in the moment trying to let it ride. Kind of letting the show get off the rails a bit. If the audience complete control of the show the audience members are taking over and the volunteers are stealing the show thats the best thing for a performer. People are that kid stole the show. Im like that is perfect. That means my job was done. Its not about me, its about guiding the audience on that kind of journey. Youre facilitating it. There are some interesting people, you picked a guy out of the audience when i was at the show who was from the east coast, had a silly tshirt on, and ended up being a great yes. The best is when you find that guy who is wearing socks and sandals and has the fanny pack, and the big fruity drink. So much comedy potential there. We think of them with the big fruity drinks. Can they bring those into your show . They cannot bring those drinks into the show, which means they often drink those drinks quickly before they come into the show. And they can buy other drinks in the sw. Better juggler i become. Right. Thats classic. You know, so ive been seeing you a lot at red carpets. We saw each other a few days ago, a week or two ago at Tyler Robinson foundation. It was a beautiful event at the caesars. The imagine dragons were there. Hometown boys, i really like those guys. I imagine you spent some time with them. Community. They created that foundation. They do that gala every year at seizers. Theyre genuine guys on stage and off stage. That whole family, all the reynolds boys, the killers and dragons are two awesome bands, just the same guys off stage. They do so much for the community. That was an awesome event. Got to see an intimate side of them, strippeddown, acoustic version. Telling stories, ton of celebrities were there. Chris harrien so, striker. Chris harrison is so nice. So nice. He was there with his kids, and they were just really nice kids, as well. Hes a good guy. I like him. So speaking of celebs, im starting to get the lay of the land of the entertainers you see a lot in town. There is so much talent in this town. We just had donny osmond on. You know whats so funny about donnie, and you tell me your take, i feel like the competition between he and marie is like a real thing. Someone like me i go to the show and think there is a polished performer. Hes just so enduring, he brings people in. Hes so likeable on stage off. He will fall down the stairs and go, that was adoze, so friendly all the time. And its genuine. Yeah, hes its amazing, the decades. We pulled up your website. Tell us a story. Man, i mean, you see guys like, you know, tyson there, dennis rodman, when you wake up you dont think that youre going to be on the high roller with dennis rodman. But these opportunities sometimes just pop up. We ended up covering the tournament, World Team Tennis tournament for elton john, and i got to chat with elton john, asking questions about what its like to playt event. And when i woke up that morning i knew we were covering the event but i didnt realize i wa, wanted to ask you this question. I think i would be a little bit formal if i met him. Yeah. I was. Whats his energy like . He was so funny. Oh, my gosh, he had the press conference. He had everybody cracking up. He was making, you know, political jokes, Current Events and ripping on the other players. He was just he was, you know, the press conference he was awesome. Yeah, kind of fun, great event. But in terms of other entertainers its all about balance. Some entertainers who have families here are able to balance that, right . Its admirable when i look at an entertainer like matt king, a guy who he has a life and kids, and he is the longest running show, most dont realize that. But hes able to balance that. An afternoon show for 15 years. Yet he still is very grounded, normal, you know, normal dude, can hang out, from kentucky, likes to just, you know, drink his bourbon, the derby, always has a derby party. You like that, being another performer who youre on stage five nights a week and doing some other things. You like the idea that family work balance. Yeah, that is who he is. Genuine authentic person. Hes not going to be out at every single red carpet, because he does game night with his family, and thats who he is. And he found a way to make that work. Very interesting. Yes. Now, youre single. Youre not married yet. Im single. So just so you know, were about to transition and talk about dating apps. This is a good transition. But jeff skandros is you got it. Who are your favorite performers in las vegas . We would love to know. Reach out on our twitter or facebook. You can find our links on our website, vegasmorningblend. Com. And we may read some of your comments on air. Next up, this weekend, the valley will come alive with the Las Vegas Gay pride festival and you Better BelieveJohnny Skandros will be there to celebrate. Johnny grew up in las vegas and creating one of the most wellknown dating apps in the world called scruff. The app has been used by more than 10 Million People worldwide. Here to tell us all about it, Johnny Skandros. Welcome. Thank you for having me. Great to be here. Hug it out. 10 Million People. 10 Million People. Thats a lot. That is a lot of people. I never thought it would get that big, and global, all across the world. With the app. Correct. App was started in new york city in 2010. I started it with a friend of mine. Were head quartered there but we have staff around the country and some in cause trail consider, as well. Born and raised in vegas, proud to be from the city. I love las vegas, and im so proud of how the city has grown. The diversity here, really wasnt here when i was growing so great to be a hometown vegas boy. When you were growing up here, you realized were you gay and you came out at 15yearsold. Tell us about that. The coming out process is a difficult process and still is for a lot of people, and it was tough. It was tough especially here because it it was different. It wasnt as accepting. And i had a hard time inial see. I was bullied pretty bad. And i got through it great friends, two of my good friends im still friends with today. I came out to them. They accepted me for who i was. And so that really helped. I also had a really loving mother. She was a school teacher, worked at the School District for 30 years in clark county, my mom, stephanie. And she is here. She is in the studio with us today. Hi, mom. Vegas has changed and developed. Now. The School Systems have lgbt safe rooms in eye schools now. Elementary schools have adopted the be kind program, which is from the josh stevens foundation, a boy who was killed here. It teaches students to be kind and rewards they will. These are things we didnt have back when i was in elementary, junior, even high school. There really wasnt a lot to talk about bullying. Its an important discussion to have. And you know, my hope is that its better for everyone. Bullied, for all kinds of reasons. Me specifically for being gay. But my hope is that it is better and that vegas is a more accepting place today from what i hear talking to teachers, talking to my mom, and other friends. Absolutely. We were talking before about vegas is an interesting landscape. Obviously in total, but when it comes to dating because you have the tourists here and mingling with locals, and some live on the strip, and theyre meeting yes. Vegas is transactional. And in terms of dating for me or for the Larger Community . I think what you meant was its must be unique situation for people dating, whether online or regular, because we have the tourist population mixed in with locals. Like a lot of people dont realize there is a very vibrant hometown going on amongst all these tourists. I know a lot of are disappointed because theyll say i met this great guy or girl and hes flying back to dallas tomorrow, and theyre visiting. The great thinking is you can go on dating apps and you can find the locals on the app. You can go on scruff and see who is local. So scruff uses gps, so you can see where the strip is and it shows you how far away people are on have you. So you know if that guy may be ten miles away hes on the strip but you can utilize the app to find locals. Really helped a lot of the locals connect and find dates and marriage and travel buddies because we have a social life. We have a travel section. It is more than dating, too. I worked hard to build a great brand, dating plus social. Its so exciting what youve done. You started the app six years ago. And we know after you left las vegas cause came out, you blossomed, you went to usc film school. What gave you the idea to scruff. Graduated usc film school, moved to new york with a backpack and a hundred grand in debt. It was tough. Really . Yes. But i wanted to live in new york, and i thought new york was a great city. I wanted a different experience. And i saw the Gay Community there emerging with this scruffy look, beard, little more rugged in dress, and i thought scruff, scruffy, scruff, boom. And i my friend eric and i launched it and it just blossomed. Speaking of blossoming this is your office, isnt it fun . Yeah, thats my team. Really talented, smart people. And i feel very fortunate to have them. You know, you want to find people who are better than you as as about, and as an owner i want to find really great talent. And i feel that we found that, and i feel very have such an amazing staff. Youre going to be at las vegas pride this weekend . Yes. Very honored to be part of pride. I remember pride when i was 15 here, and so its very nostalgic to be part of it. Ill be marching in the parade on friday with the gay rodeo association. Oh, fun. With my red scruff shirt. Ill be speaking at the fair, which is at sunset park on growing up here, my experience here, and ill be hosting an event at charlies bar, which is from 8 00 to midnight.

More to come with jeff and i in just a few minutes. Laser technology has come a long way. You heard of laser hair removeel but did you know you can laser off unwounded pounds. The new phaze laser has the latest called sculpsure. Here to tell us more is sarah lopez, the Vice President and coowner of phaze laser and jessica valencia, assistant manager. Hi, ladies. Good to sculpsure, all the services they offer at the new immediate spa, this is one of the most popular. Its very exciting because this is a noninvasive light based technology, which means there is no down time because there is no surgery, noninvasive. Its very quick. You come in for 25 minutes, and you get up to 24 fat reduction in one treatment. Whats the process . How does it work . Yes, kind of yeah, like im in. Im in. A little bit of both, men and women. We will have a consultation with you. Well talk about your problem area, what areas that bother you the most. And we will measure with what we call windows. No down time, no pain afterwards and thats we have a video that demonstrates how its applied to the body. We actually have you see here, male and female. That is the abdomen. You see theyre different shapes and sizes. We strap them on. We have the flanks, as well. We apply the applicators, and that is the laser itself. Does it hurt . It does not hurt. There is a little bit of warmth that you will feel. There is the cycle of heating and cooling that you will feel. And you will feel some kind of discomfort that means that its working but its not painful. Thats a really neat video. I didnt realize, so youre customizing it to what area. We create a pillow, a pillow of fat, we say. Using the frame you have the pillow there. We strap on the applicator and it targets t top layer of the fat. Are the most common areas what you would expect, the belly . Lower abdomen, flanks, and thats really what we treat lot of. We can treat anywhere, anywhere that you have the stubborn fat that you cant seem to lose. Inner thighs, outer thighs, under the arms. You name it. You have little bra fat, you before and after. So on this male right here, where do you think he targeted . Was it the front of the abdomen or he did the sides or both . He did both the flanks and the abdomen, that is correct. And he did a total of three sessions to get these kind of results. I was going to ask the sessions, do you have to wait a certain amount of time between each one . How long is the whole cycle . You have to wait about six weeks, because we dont want to retreat the same fat do you see change immediately after the first one then a little more and little more . Usually it takes about six to 12 weeks before you will really see the results, but i will see results with every single treatment. We say we usually see about 25 to 35 reduction in that area thats treated with each session. We have one last picture. This is so you were asking if men can use it. Im hoping that is the male right there. Yeah. And then the laser the whole thing. Yeah, the whole deal. Now that was after two treatments. I think its a great point you brought up, that people a lot of times after Something Like this you want to walk out of the office and see the results right away. Theres a little bit of patience involved in this. You need to wait six to eight weeks to see what your results actually are. And really depends on the individual. I did it on my lower abs and i saw the results in two weeks. I eat healthy and work out on a regular times a week, so with one treatment alone i saw those drinking a lot of water i saw a significant reduction in my lower abdomen. Every time sarah mentioned that she had this treatment i have to just point out you dont look like somebody who needs this treatment. But however, its great to hear since you are working with this technology that you have as much as i work out, its fat that wont go away, and you have this little bubble that just wont go away, and this is why it works for people that are athletic and people that may be a little bit more fat stored in there. I have several friends who complain about this area here after having a baby and say i just cant get it to go away. Have you treated anybody that yeah, we have. Thats a perfect example of someone that is a great candidate for this because its great for people that are fit and pockets of fat that are stubborn that we can go in there and target with sculpsure. Its amazing. Any special offers . You want to jump in for the first one . The first 20 callers get 50 off their first treatment. Excellent. So call. Were ready to give you a free consultation, as well. Free consultation. Thats the key. Thank you so much.

She is the author of what the yuck, the fabulous truth about personal hygiene, especially when it comes to the bathroom. Good morning and thank you for joining us. Thank you. So dr. Raj, Many Americans dont want feel comfortable talking about personal hygiene because its personal. So why should they start . Well, you know, i think as children, were really taught not to talk about our bathroom behavior, not considered polite conversation, but the truth is were all doing this several times a day, and sometimes there are issues that can crop up, things that shoul with your doctor or with other people to get to the bottom of whats going on. And you really want to make sure youre really doing proper hygiene in the bathroom because this is one of the keys to your overall wellness. I know you have a few tips about bathroom cleanliness and personal hygiene. What are they . As a gastroent roll gist i hear complaints that people dont feel clean enough in that area after they go to the hyper wipers causing irritation to the delicate skin because they dont feel clean enough. You want to get into issues of why that may be. Maybe it has to do with their diet or whats going on, but it could be how they are actually cleaning. A way to really offer a different option in cleaning so that you get that really fresh feeling. Why do you think toilets havent caught on in america . I think its a cultural thing. I think the days are very common in other parts of the world. When i visited my grandmother as a child i was exposed to it and it was daunting, but i got not only used to it but started to enjoy that experience and i think its something that hasnt quite caught on culturally here, so a study said that about 3 4 of americans have heard of the about but many havent tried it. The majority havent tried. There is a Comfort Level there. This is bathroom behaviors are ingrained, so it takes a little while to shift that thinking. You have a lot of experience in this area. One of your paints have been particularly hesitant to talk about . So really whatever goes on in the bathroom they often are a little bit uncomfortable or embarrassed if theyre having issues, if they feel discomfort in that area or feel like bowel habits are not normal or what they think they should be. Some of them have really hard time bringing it up. But i really always encourage them to do that, certainly in my office thats the place to do it. But even with your regular internal medicine doctor. If youre having issues, bring it up. Explore different options, and it could be something as simple as changing your diet, investing in Smart Technology in your bathroom, but you dont want to just kind of live witness day after day and not do anything about it
