Adopted Land | It's FRIDAY! #43

WEBVTT

1
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:27.719
It is time to leave your worries
outside and laugh with us inside the treehouse.

2
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:33.920
On a Fridday, June twenty eighth, twenty twenty four. I'm Daniel

3
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:42.759
Malley along with Trey Trendholm and Raj
Sharma. I have tried gentlemen over the

4
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:48.719
past. I guess week since I
told you about one of my first major

5
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:54.200
head injuries as a child when I
read head when I ran headfirst into a

6
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:59.119
piece of playground equipment, right,
and that piece of playground equipment that I

7
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:08.439
described to you in detail because ironically
I remember it was a lightwood blacquered finish

8
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:14.000
box, right, and it was
just sitting straight in the middle of the

9
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:18.840
ground, and on two sides it
had wooden bars kind of like a jail

10
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.959
from bottom to top, and then
on the other two sides it was just

11
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.439
complete straight through open and my game
was to run through the open side.

12
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:30.359
I think it was like a race
or something with someone I don't know,

13
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:37.760
and I ran all the way trying
to run through it like I've done in

14
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.879
the past, and didn't realize I
had grown since the last time I played,

15
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:46.359
and smacked myself straight into the two
by six going across it right So

16
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:53.000
I have tried over the last week
to no avail to find a photo of

17
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.280
this playground equipment to show you guys. I can't find it. I have

18
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:00.439
searched on Google, I've searched on
being I think I even dug up Licos

19
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:08.039
to see nineteen eighties playground equipment image
searches, and I cannot find an example

20
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:13.520
of this piece of playground equipment.
But the way you describe it, I

21
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:19.319
don't understand the play part of it. It just sounds like somebody built a

22
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:24.879
box. Like what would you do
with it? Because I think jail bars

23
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:29.319
on both sides and then opening on
the other two sides. Yeah, what

24
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:34.840
does that do? Well? I
think I think it's a piece for using

25
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:40.280
your imagination, your play creativity.
I really don't know. I mean that

26
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:46.120
was the beauty of all of us
with our age when we were kids.

27
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.199
We found ways to play with things, even if they weren't necessarily toys,

28
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.680
we'd still find a way to integrate
them into our playtime. Yeah. But

29
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:58.280
I think this was like maybe a
low underfunded school and they were like,

30
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.240
hey, we need some sort of
playground thing, like somebody's dad's Like I

31
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:07.879
got some wood of the land of
misfit toys. Maybe that's what it was.

32
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:12.560
Maybe that really is what it was. My recess in pre kindergarten was

33
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.680
the land of misfit toys. Did
the adopted kids have a special playground?

34
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.199
Since we didn't have real parents,
we couldn't have real playground equipment. You

35
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:29.800
had a good playground equipment nobody else
wanted. No, Sorry, the good

36
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:37.280
kids, the uh, the a
k C Registered children get the good playground

37
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:42.000
with the monkey bars and the swing
set. Yeah. Uh and the merry

38
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:45.199
go round thing. No, no, no. And for you adopted kids,

39
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:46.360
you don't get that good stuff.
You go over there and get the

40
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:50.120
reject pile. Yeah. I'm just
saying, if you were handed off in

41
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:52.919
the parking lot of a Walmart,
that's kind of the best toy you're gonna

42
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:59.000
get. No, beggars can't be
choosers. You just live with what you

43
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:09.080
get. Look a curb, it's
like Christmas for adopted Maybe one day I'll

44
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:15.199
be able to get the lines that
go with the entire parking spot. Life

45
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:16.800
was tough as an adopted kid.
I never thought about that. Maybe I

46
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:20.920
was in the school for the uh, the lonely and adopted. Yes,

47
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:26.720
it's right next to Hogwarts, like
except we don't get told about the secret

48
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:31.399
passageway. There's nothing magical. It's
just a sad place. We just run

49
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:40.120
into the brick wall because it's what
was painted over like looney tunes. See

50
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.959
you you you you normal kids.
You don't know how good you had it.

51
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.040
Yeah, we had monkey barns and
the little little little horses and race

52
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:51.560
corners with the springs on it that
you could with the swing sets. And

53
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:55.839
yeah. See the only way I
got to ride in those fun cars was

54
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.240
in front of the walmart and you
had to throw a corter into it.

55
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.040
Oh, I had to pay for
it. You got to ride that for

56
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:05.839
free. And the good, the
good hot metal slide, the hot metal

57
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:11.680
side is my favorite. No,
we had that. Even you guys got

58
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.240
that. Okay, well, even
even we had the hot metal slide.

59
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:16.839
You kids were the ones that got
the good, new plastic slides that didn't

60
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.800
give you third degree burns across your
har No, no, no, we

61
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:25.240
didn't that. That didn't change until
at least in my elementary school. I

62
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:30.079
remember this like I believe it was
the late nineties, is when I was

63
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.600
jogging by uh. I think I
just come back from school or whatever,

64
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:38.000
and I was from from college and
I was jogging by and I was like,

65
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:42.319
what the F is this? And
I went back into the playground.

66
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.399
It was like evening, and I
was like, this is amazing. And

67
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:47.639
they still had gravel. They still
had that, so they still there was

68
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:53.120
still a potential for injury. Was
it actual gravel or was it the soft

69
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:57.040
pea river rock like, no,
the river rock gravel. No, no,

70
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.680
no, this was like like construction
side gravel. Okay, good,

71
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:03.360
because the gravel I grew up on, including the gravel driveway that I had,

72
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.639
and that was what my dad taught
me to ride a bike on,

73
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:15.920
was jagged limestone quarry style. You
know, there's a legitimate possibility of when

74
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:17.959
you fall off this bike, you
may never walk again type of ground.

75
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.759
Yeah. Yeah, the good old
fashioned kind of like there's probably still like

76
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:27.360
quartz or limestone stuck in our body
somewhere, Oh, no doubt. Absolutely.

77
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:30.240
And that's the kind of thing,
whether it was the gravel road we

78
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:34.680
learned to ride a bike on or
the rusty, sun scorched playground equipment.

79
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:40.519
Not only did those things build character
in us, also a large amount of

80
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:44.720
scar tissue. Yes, you know, they say that the bone you break

81
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.560
becomes the strongest bone in your body
because of the calcification. So yeah,

82
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:51.480
But then I went by I think
another ten years later, and that's when

83
00:06:51.519 --> 00:07:00.240
they had replaced the gravel with the
rubber all weather mats that went everywhere.

84
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.360
So I mean like you could literally
jump up in the air and fall flat

85
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:08.079
on your face and it was like
like landing on a cloud. And I

86
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:10.920
was like the ground hugs you as
you face the plat, I mean,

87
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:13.439
you know, And I was like, oh, these kids are about to

88
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.879
be bitches, like I thought about
about two thousand and eight I called it.

89
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:20.160
I was like, these kids about
to be bitches. And you know

90
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:27.839
what's interesting. I have never set
foot on some of these newer playgrounds because

91
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:29.360
you know, I don't have kids. I'm not, you know, running

92
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.800
out there and playing on playground equipment
with kids. During COVID, I worked

93
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:35.600
out when all the gyms were closed
on a couple of pieces of playground equipment.

94
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:40.240
But the one I went to didn't
have some of the advancements. I

95
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:44.279
think that this new stuff has,
Like there's there's a there's a park not

96
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:47.600
far from where we live here,
and I walked across it the other day

97
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:51.959
to throw something in the trash can
and on that mat that you're talking about

98
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:57.279
RAJ where the playground equipment sits on
top of. For us, that whole

99
00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:01.279
section was the break your neck.
You no longer walk if you hit this

100
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:07.079
gravel correctly area. That's what we
grew up with. Now it is,

101
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:11.279
it's like this. It's green like
grass, but it's soft and spongy.

102
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:15.160
It feels like one of those like
the soft spot to land at a trampoline

103
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:18.160
park. I mean it's it's I
had no I thought it was going to

104
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:20.240
be harder. Now it was.
It Like I stepped foot on it and

105
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.879
I was like, I would like
shoes made of this. Yeah, I

106
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.360
was. I remember bouncing on it, like just walking and I was like,

107
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.399
oh, this is nice. It's
almost like the playground was built on

108
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.759
a bed of crocs. Yeah.
And I and I and I do this

109
00:08:31.799 --> 00:08:35.039
in my stand up where I'm talking
when I talk about the playgrounds that we

110
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.519
had, Like I don't know if
you guys are aware. It started in

111
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.000
California. I know that, and
it's working its way across the country.

112
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:46.879
It'll get here eventually. But like
the swing sets in California. I have

113
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.840
to be adult supervised. I don't
know if you knew that. Like you

114
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.840
have to like there's like a clipboard
like signing thing, so like if you

115
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:56.559
put your kid on the swing set, you gotta sign like, hey,

116
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:03.000
I'm standing and all. So if
any other kids are on there or come

117
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:07.360
up while you're kids swinging, you're
responsible to watch them as well. No,

118
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.080
no, I will not be responsible
for anybody else is idiot child?

119
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:18.799
Yeah? Did y'all have the the
metal spin thing that you know? Well?

120
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:26.720
But yeah, kind of it was
around. It's like the one with

121
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:31.440
the horses and you go up and
down and everything's okay. The horse is

122
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.960
going up and down, mirrors and
music. That's a carousel, but you

123
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.799
try to go around. Was the
metal spinny thing with the bars. I

124
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:43.159
also called it the kids spinner?
Yeah, the one you spin as fast

125
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:45.159
as you can so you can watch
Tim fly off and break his arm.

126
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:48.440
Yeah, that's that's always a good
one. We had a we had a

127
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.519
scot that's who I mean. We
were going and he did the thing where

128
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.200
he was like starfish and like let
go of the the bar and like just

129
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.720
did the whole thing where he laid
in the middle like I'm a star fish

130
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:03.600
and and he flew the f off
that thing and oh my god, was

131
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:07.399
it hilarious till he landed and I'm
like, that's broke, and uh,

132
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:11.879
yeah, that that'll happen. Yeah. We got to sign his cast,

133
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.360
so that was really cool. I
you know, it was like it was

134
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.879
like it was like a soldier coming
back from war. Like he came back

135
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:20.919
to school a week later, We're
like, that's him. Like it was.

136
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.919
He was like a legends, Like
that's that's the Scott that everybody's been

137
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:26.600
talking about. He got the right
and he got the ride in the the

138
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:31.200
ambulance. Yeah. Uh. And
then like he didn't write the name,

139
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.279
it was mesquite brother. He didn't
write an ambulance. They called his folks.

140
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.919
Somebody came up and picked him and
took him to the hospital. Probably

141
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.919
my mom was working at uh.
And then they they gave him a white

142
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:45.039
cast like that white off white so
that people could sign it because you had

143
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.360
you had color choices. Uh.
In the in the early eighties, they

144
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:50.799
were they were starting to spruce up
the cast so you can get like blue

145
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.879
or red or green. And most
people didn't realize it. It was just

146
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.960
whatever the cast company sent the plaster
would would be that color, but he

147
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:01.279
had the off white, so we
all got to sign it and that was

148
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:05.559
really cool. I mean, so
on supervised kids with a lot of metal

149
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:11.320
and gravel, what could go wrong? Yeah, I mean I didn't have

150
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:16.840
a good recess if I didn't get
my leg caught in the tire pit thing.

151
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:18.679
So you had like whatever the thing
was called, when you had the

152
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:24.519
wooden platform on one side, and
then the tires that were attached by chains

153
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:28.679
that went down and then back up
like a ramp to another wooden platform,

154
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:33.240
and the game was to jump from
one platform to the other. And if

155
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:35.240
you didn't make it, then you
ended up in the in the lava with

156
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:39.320
the tires. And if I didn't
get one leg caught and dangle upside down

157
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.360
at one point, then I didn't
have a successful recess. I'm pretty sure

158
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.720
you were just playing in the salvage
yard. I don't think. I don't

159
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:50.399
think you had a playground. I
think they just took the adopted kids to

160
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:58.240
like a dump, the one where
they encouraged you to pet the junkyard dog

161
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.320
that was just the guy's name.
Go ahead and junkyard dog we call I

162
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.879
mean his name is Steve, but
we called him dog. Uh. It

163
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:09.240
was like, this is where we
burn the tires, but before we do,

164
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:16.440
why don't you guys play around on
him? But we've already let the

165
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:24.000
match. Use your best judgment when
you think, when you think playtime is

166
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:39.559
over, We're going to find out
who the fastest adopted kid is. You're

167
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:45.240
listening to the Treehouse, visit us
online that Treehouse on air dot com And

168
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:48.600
in case anyone didn't pick it up
from the context blues, I'm adopted.

169
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:58.799
So for us to talk about all
that stuff, eight three three cook df

170
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:03.759
do. That's the phone number you
need to reach Daniel Cook from cookidfw Roofing

171
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:09.519
and Restoration the website cookidfw dot com. Daniel, are you really good at

172
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:13.720
something that is difficult for others?
Or maybe the opposite, something's really difficult

173
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.159
for you that's easy for others.
I'm gonna give you a couple examples,

174
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:20.559
not to put you on the spot
too much. Some people are really good

175
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.279
at math, others struggle. Some
people are really good at hula hooping,

176
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:26.799
but struggle. I'm a hula hoop
struggler. I don't know if you're a

177
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:31.679
hula hoop fired dancer and uh or
even chopsticks. I'm good at chopsticks,

178
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.399
but I see other people struggle.
Anything jump to your mind where you're like,

179
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.200
oh, yeah, I'm great at
that. What other people saw?

180
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:41.519
I mean a couple things. I
guess I stand out. If you ask

181
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:46.240
Carrie, she always really gives me
a lot of crap about my spelling.

182
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.559
And I try to spell really well, but I guess sometimes easy words.

183
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:54.759
I sometimes flip flop letters and it's
it's just something small, and I catch

184
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:58.000
myself and thank Goodness for spell check
now and everything. So it doesn't make

185
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.840
me look like a completed Well,
as long as you get the roof on

186
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:07.559
right side up, I think that's
the main thing. And also you you

187
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:09.960
missed an opportunity. So I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna pose the

188
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:13.480
question to you again. Is there
something you're really good at but others suck

189
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:18.120
at? Well? Well, of
course it's roofing, man, ruf construction

190
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:22.159
in general, attention to detail,
spelling, not so much. Everything else

191
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.039
you got down every time, no
problem at all. Give the man a

201
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:16.919
DFW eight three three cook DFW and
again the website cookdfw dot com. So

202
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:24.559
during that break, I took a
moment to draw the concussion box that I

203
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:31.919
played with back in pre kindergarten slash
kindergarten, because again I searched for it

204
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:35.399
online couldn't find an example of this. This is as best as I can

205
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.799
do. So right there is like
a little my version of a see saw,

206
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:43.080
and that's kind of the box.
So that's the bars on one side,

207
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:48.159
that's the open thing there, and
then there would be another open side

208
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.480
over there and then more bars on
this side. So obviously, at least

209
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.240
I was smart enough not to try
to run through the bar side because I

210
00:15:56.279 --> 00:16:00.200
knew I wasn't going to fit between
the bars. I was that was impossible.

211
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:03.559
But I tried to run through this
opening out through the other way,

212
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:04.679
but I missed, and that's where
I hit my head right there on that

213
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:08.799
two by six. That's a that's
a jail cell, Dan, Yeah,

214
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:15.440
no, Trey. A jail cell
is where they put criminals. This is

215
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:21.039
an adopted kids c Yeah, this
is an adopted kid because there's hope on

216
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:27.480
the other side. Yeah, Trey. This was from uh, this was

217
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:34.679
from Fisher Price. It was my
first kennel, and I didn't know how

218
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:38.639
to draw one of those little water
spouts like like you give gerbils that just

219
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:45.639
looks like like at every Van Dam
movie where they house the POWs like that,

220
00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:48.039
that's what it looks like. They
just you know what, Maybe that's

221
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:51.559
what this was. Maybe this was
maybe this plate. Maybe this piece of

222
00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:56.120
playground equipment was a piece of the
set that they took from the Chuck Norris

223
00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:00.200
movie Missing an Action. Yes,
that's what it is, or it's they

224
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:03.720
actually have the dogs from the Salva
jard sleep at night, like that's where

225
00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:11.039
they go where you're air quote teachers? Were they in white lab coats with

226
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:18.920
nap with with with clipboards taking notes
on the other side of it? Did

227
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:26.400
you refer to your teachers as doctor
so and so? Time to think of

228
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:32.920
it. I do remember a couple
of those. We were just told that

229
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:37.160
they were they were supervising. Do
you remember what your student number was?

230
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.359
I'm pretty sure that's why you don't
remember anything. They just wiped your memory

231
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:48.839
solid. We didn't know about these
experience. All I know is we all

232
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:56.400
to this day Miss eleven. You
think about her every day and hope she's

233
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:07.440
fine and comes back to father.
Did you guys all have special underwear?

234
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:18.839
Dan was in a cult. I
don't know if you can see this,

235
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:22.759
but so my number was I wasn't
good enough to have on the plus side

236
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:26.160
of things like eleven. So you
can see that my tattoo is negative to

237
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:37.960
poor, poor, poor day.
That's why he was always the big pencil

238
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:44.880
kid. Yeah, we just had
and I used to make fun of mesquite

239
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.759
for our playground. But wherever you
were, whatever outdoor lab. They had

240
00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:53.759
no remember it was indoor, and
I think they were the game. Yeah,

241
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.480
that's right, I forgot you were. They couldn't take a chance on

242
00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:07.240
defenses because then they got to bring
those pesky callers back out buzz every time

243
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:12.599
you get near the fence. Yeah, it was watching Arnold Swarzenegger's The Running

244
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:19.680
Man was pretty triggering for me.
I still remember the other Danny. There

245
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:32.680
used to be two of us.
Oh God, I love Fridays. So

246
00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:41.559
last episode we discussed the viral sensation
known as Haktua Girl. And what was

247
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:47.640
fascinating about this to me looking back
on it, is that Trey introduced her

248
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:51.240
to you and me, Raj.
You and I had no idea when we

249
00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:56.680
went in to record the previous episode
of the Treehouse who Hawktua Girl was,

250
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:00.359
let alone, what Hawktua itself was. Yeah, we knew what that was,

251
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.759
we just didn't know it by that
particular name. And so Trey introduced

252
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:08.480
Hawktua Girl to us, and I
learned later that night, as I'm doom

253
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:15.759
scrolling in bed, I was only
two thumb swipes away on ex Twitter Twitter

254
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:19.079
X whatever it is or Twitter triple
X. Now, I was only two

255
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:25.720
thumb swipes away from seeing it.
So I was right. I was really

256
00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:27.039
really close to it. I was
right on the edge. And then,

257
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:30.839
like I said, Trey, you
introduced a hawk to a girl to us.

258
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:37.640
And I think before we get into
now exploring the legend of Hawktua over

259
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:45.319
the past handful of days, we
should probably revisit the original video of the

260
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:52.240
Hawkta girl and her friend being interviewed
by YouTube guys Tim and Dee or something

261
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:56.440
like that. And they were the
ones that were walking around Nashville doing man

262
00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:03.119
on the street stuff and they were
discussing. They were interviewing attractive girls and

263
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:08.519
asking them provocative questions. And about
eight minutes into their video, Uh,

264
00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:15.039
they came across, uh, these
two white girls, and they interviewed them.

265
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:19.000
This is for her. What you
want to answer this? You got

266
00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:23.480
what's one move in bed that makes
the man go crazy every time you give

267
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:30.720
him that hawk dude spent all that
night. I don't get you. I

268
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:41.279
think you gotta demonstrate hawk dudes.
So there you have, uh, and

269
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.000
the legend and the legend of Hawk
Toua was born. Yeah, there are

270
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:49.079
some other, you know, questions
she answered that are equally as dirty.

271
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:53.799
Oh really, Yeah, Yeah,
the full video is entertaining and I and

272
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:56.519
you know, we can play more
of it, but that's you know.

273
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:00.200
You go to the Tim and D
YouTube channel, you can see the whole

274
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:06.039
video, including like this spitting.
This is not the first time that the

275
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:08.519
spinning thing was brought up on this
particular episode, Like three or four minutes

276
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:11.759
prior, there was a couple other
girls talking about hey, spin on me,

277
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:18.480
But this was the viral sensation they
picked up on Hoctua And just like

278
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:27.319
the thing that she's spitting on,
her legend has grown since this has gone

279
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:36.640
viral and she's become now a public
viral sensation. Yeah, it's amazing in

280
00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:44.720
this day and age, how forty
five seconds can ruin your life because now

281
00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:48.880
everybody they have they found out who
she is and her name is Haley Welsh.

282
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:53.279
Yes, that's that's who she is, and we are pretty sure that's

283
00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:57.000
her name. Yes, this is
what they this is what the internet is

284
00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:03.039
saying. But yeah, I think
the enthusiasm in which she demonstrated the sound

285
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:11.119
is what made her go viral because
she she was very she was very entertained

286
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:15.000
by her own answer. So well, that's what I love about the original

287
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:21.359
video. Is the guy originally asked
the brunette first, and and Haktua Haley

288
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:23.160
had walked away, and then the
brunette friends like, hey, hey,

289
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:26.839
you need to ask this question again. And this is a girl, you

290
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:29.400
need to ask this question. She
brings her over. That's why she says,

291
00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:33.480
she'll give the answer that you're looking
for. Yeah, so she's given

292
00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:37.880
It's that means she's told that to
the brunette. She's explained like, hey,

293
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:41.799
you gotta you gotta do this.
If if you want to have your

294
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:45.960
own shirts in, then NETSI store
exactly. So Ever since this has become

295
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:49.599
what it is, which is the
new viral sensation, give give Hoctua Haley

296
00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:53.119
Welch all the credit in the world. She has done more to unify this

297
00:23:53.200 --> 00:24:00.480
country politically than any candidate across the
nation could ever dream. Okay, a

298
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:04.960
man, Yes, I know,
we've got presidential debates are starting. You've

299
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:11.960
got Trump versus Biden, and Kennedy
is looking from the outside in. And

300
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:15.240
I guarantee you, if she wanted
to hawk to, a girl could flap

301
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:18.759
her way in the middle of this
debate and win in a matter of thirty

302
00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:23.000
seconds. Yes, which that's one
meme I did not see. I did,

303
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:26.640
however, see a ton of other
ones over the next couple of days,

304
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:30.720
and I decided to compile a couple
of these for you guys in case

305
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:33.799
you had missed some of them,
because I thought these are some of my

306
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:40.960
favorites. I want to share some
of these with my buddies Raj and Trey.

307
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:44.640
So this is a collection here,
Like I said, some of my

308
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:52.359
favorite Hawkta girl memes inside the treehouse. We will begin with the meme of

309
00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:56.079
Ben Affleck outside smoking a cigarette in
his blue sweater with the caption Hawk to

310
00:24:56.160 --> 00:25:03.640
his Dad right now and probably forever. And I will follow that up with

311
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:07.079
that. That was one of the
first ones I saw. Then another one.

312
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:15.440
Hang on a second, what is
that tray, I've got a a

313
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:25.880
political video of for Hawk toa okay
okay uh after Ben Affleck as Hawk toa

314
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:30.319
Dad, I've got the Iowa hawktas
with the logo of the Hawks kidding.

315
00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:36.799
That's brilliant. I guess Gray hadn't
seen that one. This would also work

316
00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:41.880
for any other for any other Hawk
mascot, So if the Atlanta Hawks,

317
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:47.119
I'm sure there's one for them.
Yeah. If if the eagle was smart

318
00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:48.279
they would have done one, but
I don't. I didn't look because I

319
00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:56.519
don't care. Also, staying with
the sports theme, people got to printing

320
00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:00.799
their hawk Tua stuff pretty quickly,
including hockey jerseys with Hawktua on the back

321
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:07.960
and the number twenty four okay,
hockey sweaters okay, and then the hawktucn

322
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:17.359
from Street Fighters, which is which
is another one of my favorites. Again,

323
00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:22.000
these are these are also of my
favorites. And then uh and then

324
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:30.519
Hawktua girl single handedly destroying Pride Month. So if you're unfamiliar with the school

325
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:36.000
bus driving across the railroad tracks in
front of a train meme, the bus

326
00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:42.880
is Pride Month and the train is
Hoktua Girl demolishing it. Which, let's

327
00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:48.759
be honest, I'm I'm pretty sure
the LGBTQ community, although mainly the male,

328
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:51.839
I'm sure they've got a handle on
on on the hawking thing. I

329
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:55.799
don't think that's a streets only type
of deal. Another one of my favorites

330
00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:03.400
is the Avenger Hawktuah spin on that
thing movie poster Can She Save the Marvel

331
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:11.039
Cinematic Universe? Along with Hawktua the
Disney movie where it's cartoon Hawktua with her

332
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:18.119
pet hawk on her shoulder. Ah, that's that's not right. It's gonna

333
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:22.039
get worse. It's gonna be a
musical, of course it is. And

334
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:26.319
then one of my favorites also the
hawk to a debit card, because you

335
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:29.480
can get whatever image you want to
put on a debit card. Yep.

336
00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:33.039
So he got three three photos of
Hawk tour Girl spitting on it with you

337
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:34.839
know her catch, raise and spit
on that thing. And then we roll

338
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:45.960
into the original Hawkta Girl Monica Clinton
photo. I mean, you gotta give

339
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:48.880
props to the ogs, right,
I mean you have to. You have

340
00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:52.200
to. You got it, you
gotta. You gotta give it up to

341
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.680
You have to respect your elders.
You have to respect those who came before

342
00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:11.400
you. And that will continue to
come afterwards. You're listening to the Treehouse,

343
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:17.039
visit us online that Treehouse on air
dot com. I am saving the

344
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:21.160
best for last though, my absolute
favorite Hawk Tua thing that I've seen in

345
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:23.960
the last few days, that'll be
coming up later in the show. Stick.

346
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:30.119
Let's get Jaqueline from Brooks Plumbing into
the Treehouse now for any and all

347
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:33.480
of your plumbing once and needs,
give her and all of them. There

348
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:36.559
a call two, one, fourth, three, six, eight thirty eight

349
00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:40.319
thirty eight. The website Brooks Plumbing
Texas dot com. When I had my

350
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:42.960
house in Dallas, Jacqueline, you
came out a few times to help us

351
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:48.720
with some issues, and your response
time was phenomenal. And it wasn't just

352
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:52.119
because it was me. It was
because that's the kind of company you run.

353
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:55.680
You go out of your way trying
to help every client and try to

354
00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:57.200
get there as soon as you can. Well, I mean the reality of

355
00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:02.400
it is is that plumbing is unfortunately
a need and not so much a want.

356
00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:06.200
Yes, you can want to remodel
the bathroom and that's not pressing,

357
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:10.640
but typically when it comes to service
or leak investigations, et cetera, et

358
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:15.039
cetera. If you've got to stoppage
on the mainline and you don't know and

359
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:22.119
you keep putting liquid or you know, waste into the drains, if it

360
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:25.400
has nowhere to go, it will
come back in the house and at that

361
00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:27.799
point in time, it's no longer
a want, it's a need, and

362
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:33.799
that sort of thing can't wait.
When you have those emergencies, you have

363
00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:37.200
got to figure out how to manage
the crew so that you can have the

364
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:40.799
best response time that's right, and
they'll show up and they'll do it quickly.

365
00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:44.400
Call Jacqueline from Brooks Plumbing for any
and all of those plumbing once and

That's two one four, three six, eight thirty eight thirty eight, and

372
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:17.440
the website Brooks Plumbing Texas dot com
again for any and all of those plumbing

373
00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:21.839
wants and needs. In which case, I'm sure in some of those instances

374
00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:27.079
you could just spin on it and
that might fix whatever is clogging up your

375
00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:30.200
pipes. But it doesn't always work
that way, and when that happens acts

376
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:36.240
when you need to call in the
professionals at Brooks Plumbing. Of course,

377
00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:40.799
now I'm thinking that would make for
an excellent plumbing company. Hawktua plumbing.

378
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:48.559
Spin on the thing? Sure,
unclugged your pug? Yeah? Clear?

379
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:55.319
All clogs? All right, let's
quit messing around. Let's get into what's

380
00:30:55.359 --> 00:30:57.880
most important on a Friday, and
that is, of course birthdays. Hip.

381
00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:03.720
Because while I've got important news to
tell you about a banshee killing,

382
00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:08.960
a man, protests gone wild,
double dipping surgeons, it's important that we

383
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:18.680
first get birthdays into our system.
Birthdays today again. The day is day

384
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:26.400
June twenty eighth, twenty twenty four. Birthdays today. Kelly Pickler, country

385
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:30.839
singer. She is thirty eight.
She came in sixth place on American Idol,

386
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:34.440
and she won season sixteen of Dancing
with the Stars. Yeah for her.

387
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:41.680
Also Rob Deerdick, skateboarding star of
MTV's Robin Big. He is fifty

388
00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:49.039
TESLA and SpaceX CEO worth at time
of this recording two hundred and thirty ish

389
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:56.920
billion dollars. Elon Musk is fifty
three today. And I did notice that

390
00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:00.799
over the last a handful of days, the place to go for all your

391
00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:08.880
hawk Tua memes was absolutely Triple X
Twitter, which is, you know,

392
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:15.319
since Elon basically lifted any parental controls, now they're going bring on the porn

393
00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:17.839
bots whatever. But that's where that's
where I saw all the good hawk to

394
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:22.480
of memes. That's where I've seen
practically any good memes lately. Maybe it's

395
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:27.160
because I don't scroll Facebook enough,
or maybe my Instagram algorithm is a little

396
00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:31.519
too classy. Well, I think
Instagram and and and Facebook will kick you

397
00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:38.359
off if it's too elicit a content. Some of the people that are on

398
00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:44.640
the Treehouse follow follow he list,
Yeah, but I think it's a I

399
00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:46.519
think that's why he kind of is
capitalizing on the Well, they won't let

400
00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:51.799
you show it there, I'll let
you do it here. And maybe that

401
00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:54.319
maybe that you know what it is. Maybe it's just kind of what I've

402
00:32:54.680 --> 00:33:02.400
I've ignorantly done to tweak my own
personal algorithm on the different platforms. Right,

403
00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:07.559
So, like on the Treehouse Instagram
page, I'll see certain stuff,

404
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:12.240
or on the feed, I'll see
certain things. On my personal Instagram,

405
00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:15.680
it might be slightly different. Same
thing on Twitter, my personal Twitter versus

406
00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:19.839
the show Twitter is a little bit
different feeds. And on Facebook that's where

407
00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:23.359
it's typically I'm still seeing mostly friends
doing things. Instagram is a lot of

408
00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:27.119
you know, some friends doing things, but also looking at the saliness that

409
00:33:27.240 --> 00:33:30.960
Raj has posted recently. And then
Twitter is where I go for like the

410
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:34.359
really jacked up, silly, like
far out there stuff that I can't see

411
00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:40.400
anywhere else. Okay, I don't
know if your particular activities have made it

412
00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:45.039
to our Your Facebook, your Instagram, your Twitter, your TikTok all seem

413
00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:46.960
like different experiences. Maybe, like
I said, maybe that's just what I've

414
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:52.279
done inadvertently. Yeah, I don't
check the TikTok stuff, and I don't

415
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:58.680
use x that much, so it's
kind of whatever my old stuff used to

416
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:00.319
show. But yeah, I can
see what you're talking about. It's a

417
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:06.880
it varies depending on the platform.
Gotcha? So elon musk is fifty three

418
00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:08.880
today trade? Did you have something
else? Oh? I was said,

419
00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:13.400
I don't think I've corrupted my Twitter
feed like I have everything else. So

420
00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:20.159
we got still pretty much just like
news and sports. That's so weird because

421
00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:22.880
of all the platforms, my Twitter
is the one that is absolutely the most

422
00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:30.199
corrupted. See. It goes to
show that the platform will show you what

423
00:34:30.440 --> 00:34:37.039
you look at individually on each platform, which I'm glad for because I'm glad

424
00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:40.679
that I don't see the same stuff
on Instagram or anything else that I see

425
00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:43.679
on Twitter. I like to go
to Twitter because I know what I'm gonna

426
00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:46.440
get. It's gonna be some weird
shit. And it used to not be

427
00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:50.400
that. I used to go there
for breaking news and stuff. Now I

428
00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:52.480
go there for the weird stuff.
It's a nine month shift since he's taken

429
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:55.760
over. It's like, what's the
grossest shit you can see? Twitter?

430
00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:04.960
It used to be TikTok, who
knew the Chinese would come out new classier

431
00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:13.880
than he? One. Oh,
let's see Denver Broncos legend and eventual Super

432
00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:21.280
Bowl winning quarterback John Elway is sixty
four. Uh, phenomenal actress and friend

433
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:24.280
of our friend. Tone Bell therefore
is a friend of ours. Kathy Bates

434
00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:32.239
is seventy six today and finally celebrating
his ninety eighth birthday. Legendary filmmaker Bell

435
00:35:32.360 --> 00:35:37.599
Brooks. Wow, we're talking about
the man that gave us Young Frankenstein,

436
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:42.639
Blazing Saddles, History of the World, Part One, the Producers, and

437
00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:50.079
of course one of my personal favorites
of his Spaceball yep, which, if

438
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:53.840
you have not heard, it has
been confirmed they are doing a space Ball's

439
00:35:53.920 --> 00:36:00.679
the sequel. Wow. How bad. Does Rick morandas need work? Actually,

440
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:02.800
you know he quit He actually quit
acting to take care of his kids

441
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:07.480
after his wife passed away. Was
that what it was? Yeah? It

442
00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:12.039
was everything for Rick moranis has been
completely intentional. It wasn't that his career

443
00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:15.440
bombed out or anything. It was
quite the opposite. Like Trey said,

444
00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:19.199
his wife passed away and he stepped
away from it. I feel shitty.

445
00:36:19.320 --> 00:36:22.360
I take that. Well done,
Rick Moranas. But of all, if

446
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:28.639
you want a Netflix has a wonderful
Gene Wilder documentary, and but it's got

447
00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:30.840
a lot of milk. I mean, obviously mel Brooks had a huge part

448
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:35.239
of his career. So if you
like mel Brooks, it's a yeah.

449
00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:37.840
I was watching History of the World
Part one the other day. That's one

450
00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:40.800
of my fair Like The Last Supper
is one of my favorite, like parts

451
00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:52.000
of that where he's the waiter.
So is everybody gonna have soup? Let

452
00:36:52.039 --> 00:37:00.280
me just ask one more questions?
Are we all on one check? I

453
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:06.039
really need to my list for films
that I need to revisit. And Rewatch

454
00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:08.920
is growing exponentially, and that's that's
what I need to add to my list.

455
00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:14.159
Comes down, He's like I bring
you these fifteen and he drops one

456
00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:22.559
of the ten commandments from the Lord. It's just so brilliant. Happy ninety

457
00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:27.199
eighth birthday to mel Brooks. What
a legend. Uh. And and you

458
00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:31.199
can't bring up the fact that it's
Melbrooks's birthday without mentioning Blazing Saddles, and

459
00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:37.039
without then mentioning what you always have
to say whenever you mentioned Blazing Saddles in

460
00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:42.159
the twenty first century, which is
you cannot make that movie today. It's

461
00:37:42.239 --> 00:37:46.079
a sad, sad fact, but
I just don't think you can unless you

462
00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:52.480
alter the material enough to where it
absolutely fits more in line with today's stuff.

463
00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:55.840
Because you can't, then you cannot
lean in as heavy on the racist

464
00:37:55.920 --> 00:38:00.079
stuff that Blazing Saddles made fun of
back then. And like you, you

465
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:02.920
know, it just doesn't work today. And let me ask this, it's

466
00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:07.719
because I believe that stuff like this
is cyclical, like it'll come back around

467
00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:10.559
at some point. Do you think
we'll get back to where we can do

468
00:38:10.599 --> 00:38:19.000
stuff like this because that was just
hilarious. I just don't know, I

469
00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:22.760
really don't know, because it's like
it's like history, right, the reason

470
00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:25.639
you're taught history is so you don't
repeat it in this case, though,

471
00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:30.280
there are things that I would like
to have never seen come back into style,

472
00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:36.880
like tight rolling pants and hypercolor clothing. But fashion is definitely cyclical.

473
00:38:37.039 --> 00:38:40.280
That stuff has come back around.
So I've I don't know, you couldn't

474
00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:44.639
make Tropic Thunder, which that was
just twenty years ago. That's true.

475
00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:49.719
I mean, I'll say this about
Blazing Saddles, and it would have to

476
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:53.320
be uh, a non white person
that made the movie, like mel Brooks,

477
00:38:53.440 --> 00:39:00.400
you know, even as much as
love. So if it's like Chae

478
00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:07.360
Jordan, so Jordan Peele made Blazing
Saddles, I think he could probably get

479
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:12.840
away with it. I think.
So all right, let's put that into

480
00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:16.480
the universe and let's see what happened. I don't think he would, That's

481
00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:20.800
just that was just a I mean, you couldn't think about all in the

482
00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:22.239
family. You couldn't make that.
You can't do that today. The Jeffersons

483
00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:24.320
you can't do today. No,
I mean all of it. I mean,

484
00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:30.400
just yeah, and no, I
I agree, I agree, you

485
00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:34.079
know, and I again, like
I go, but like I posted something

486
00:39:34.119 --> 00:39:38.320
today. It was on my Instagram
and somebody immediately had to comment about so

487
00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:42.559
I posted this. It's a commercial
from Denmark about a guy who's drinking the

488
00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:46.400
two boorg beer and as he takes
there's a there's a very there's a lady

489
00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:50.920
across having a coffee and she's just
very like. She's dressed down and the

490
00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:52.960
hair's in a ponytail, make up, no makeup, and as he keeps

491
00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:55.760
drinking, she gets hotter. And
I was like, this is what they

492
00:39:55.800 --> 00:39:59.719
mean by beer goggles. And then
somebody comments like, this is exactly what

493
00:39:59.800 --> 00:40:01.920
we're talking about. Where this guy, this lady's minding her own business and

494
00:40:02.039 --> 00:40:05.559
this guy is just doing this and
I was like, dude, they're both

495
00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:07.760
actors. They read the script.
Nobody got harmed in the making of this

496
00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:16.000
hilarious commercial. Relax. I don't
think the younger generations understand satire. I

497
00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:20.320
will agree with you, I will
agree. That's why no comics want to

498
00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:24.159
do colleges anymore. That's why we
don't because they don't understand that the stories

499
00:40:24.199 --> 00:40:29.440
that we tell, although based in
fact, there's the punchlines, can be

500
00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:31.840
a little exaggerated, or the story
can be a little bit longer than it

501
00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:37.800
actually was. And they think everything
is literal and everything is factual, and

502
00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:43.480
we are awful people, so pass
I'll just keep telling jokes to everybody our

503
00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:47.440
generation. That's probably the smart way
to go anyway, because it's not like

504
00:40:47.519 --> 00:40:52.000
that. It's not like those kids
got any money to spend on tickets to

505
00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:55.599
your show anyway. That's true.
That is true, like the like but

506
00:40:55.719 --> 00:41:00.880
the but then but then the flip
side of this weird shit is is that

507
00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:06.079
the hot Ta Girl can be viral
and it's and it's every across the board

508
00:41:06.280 --> 00:41:07.880
like well, look, it's like
I said in a previous episode, these

509
00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:13.760
things happen like a pendulum, right, So you might have some advancements in

510
00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:17.599
some areas like mental health, but
then you might evolve in other areas,

511
00:41:17.880 --> 00:41:22.599
like say senses of humor. Yeah, so we've had advancements in mental health,

512
00:41:23.039 --> 00:41:28.760
but the younger generations just just not
as funny as we are. I

513
00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:30.599
agree, And so that pendulum,
it kind of swings back and forth.

514
00:41:31.039 --> 00:41:35.960
Yeah, so you'll get some stuff
that will advance in other things that will

515
00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:38.159
you know, regress. Yeah.
I hope that somebody just pushes the pendulum

516
00:41:38.239 --> 00:41:42.400
far enough toward it, like like
the thing you're expecting, like the conquistador

517
00:41:42.519 --> 00:41:44.639
at the fair, like you're kind
of expecting it, like when it gets

518
00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:46.719
up that highlight flip over. Yeah, well that's kind of waiting for it.

519
00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:51.119
So I'm hoping somebody pushes the pendulum
far enough to where it goes around

520
00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:54.440
and it re resets, because that
would be kind of fun. That also

521
00:41:54.480 --> 00:42:02.599
would also that ride really really awesome
and dangerous because some people are well,

522
00:42:02.639 --> 00:42:07.599
because some people are not going to
have secured the bar across their lap properly.

523
00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:10.000
Yes, there's gonna be the adopted
kids that run into metal book wooden

524
00:42:10.039 --> 00:42:14.159
boxes. Trust me, the adopted
kids. We know how to hang on

525
00:42:14.280 --> 00:42:22.000
to that metal bar. We learned
from an early age. You're in therese

543
00:44:06.119 --> 00:44:07.679
or something completely different, does not
matter, but I'm saving it for that,

544
00:44:08.199 --> 00:44:13.280
all right, Okay, Okay.
Plus that means also I get to

545
00:44:13.400 --> 00:44:22.760
a share some fun news stories that
we found and I'm glad that we uh

546
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:32.360
we mentioned roller coasters just a few
minutes ago, But this is another lesson

547
00:44:32.559 --> 00:44:37.480
that we all can learn, not
just in the story itself, but in

548
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:44.519
how not to write a headline.
Okay, the headline I am referring to

549
00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:50.440
is thirty eight year old man dies
after being hit by Banshee at King's Island.

550
00:44:52.360 --> 00:44:59.480
Okay, when I read that,
my first thought was this head the

551
00:44:59.519 --> 00:45:04.960
headline to be Banshees are real and
they're killing people. Was it the roller

552
00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:07.800
coaster ride the Banshee? I believe
it is a roller coaster ride, because

553
00:45:07.840 --> 00:45:12.679
if you're from this particular area of
Ohio, or you've traveled to that area

554
00:45:12.920 --> 00:45:15.760
enough to where it sounds like Raj
may have for his stand up comedy,

555
00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:19.800
you would know King's Island is a
theme park with roller coasters, and the

556
00:45:20.039 --> 00:45:25.199
Banshee is a roller coaster that killed
a dude. Now it's how he was

557
00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:29.679
killed by the Banshee roller coaster.
That is the lesson that we all can

558
00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:32.559
learn, okay, and that is
if you drop your keys on a roller

559
00:45:32.639 --> 00:45:40.960
coaster ride, do not sneak into
a restricted area access and try to grab

560
00:45:42.039 --> 00:45:47.119
your keys while sticking your head up
into the oncoming path of said Banshee roller

561
00:45:47.199 --> 00:45:58.159
coaster. Wow. See this headline
originally read thirty eight year old man critically

562
00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:00.920
injured after being hit by ban and
she a King's Island. But since I

563
00:46:01.039 --> 00:46:05.679
hit refresh. He has since passed, which is sad. But again,

564
00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:13.239
when when when when the ride staff
tells you they can't stop the ride and

565
00:46:13.360 --> 00:46:15.440
you'll have to wait until the end
of the day for them to turn it

566
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:21.320
off to where it's safe for anyone
to retrieve your keys, listen to them

567
00:46:21.800 --> 00:46:28.400
mm hmm, or do what I
do and don't ride roller coasters also that

568
00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:36.119
m hm, because they're stupid.
And this is what happens. And here's

569
00:46:36.199 --> 00:46:39.559
the thing. You will never,
ever, in the history of ever see

570
00:46:39.559 --> 00:46:46.079
a headline that says Rasharma dies after
getting hit by Benshi roller coaster. Never

571
00:46:46.440 --> 00:46:51.559
nor will you ever read rash Arma
dies in tragic skiing accident. Nope,

572
00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:55.039
ras Sharma dies in bungee accident.
Nope, he owed somebody money. That's

573
00:46:55.079 --> 00:47:01.760
what the headline should read, so
they strapped him to auber band. No,

574
00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:06.000
not gonna happen. You know what, I like Earth, never had

575
00:47:06.039 --> 00:47:08.039
a problem with it. I don't
know why were you always that way?

576
00:47:08.199 --> 00:47:17.280
Raj like roller coaster averse, adventures
sport averse because I love that stuff as

577
00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:21.280
a kid. As a kid,
Give me the roller coaster, give me

578
00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:23.880
the water slide. When I lost
weight and wasn't so fat that I got

579
00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:30.119
stuck on it, which did happen
one time I talked about this. I'm

580
00:47:30.119 --> 00:47:35.079
gonna save that for another episode.
But the older I got, the less

581
00:47:36.039 --> 00:47:38.880
interested I was in roller coasters,
and the more afraid of heights and fast

582
00:47:39.000 --> 00:47:44.360
moving things that I could not control
just did not seem attractive to me anymore.

583
00:47:44.519 --> 00:47:47.039
Like water slides, like the enclosed
ones, but like when when it

584
00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:52.559
was whitewater or whatever it was across
from six wives, when they had the

585
00:47:52.599 --> 00:47:54.559
one that was just open and it
was straight, that was like I think

586
00:47:54.599 --> 00:47:59.199
it was called the tsunami before they
changed it, but it was just straight

587
00:47:59.320 --> 00:48:01.639
down, like six foot dropped straight
down. I'm like, I don't I'm

588
00:48:01.760 --> 00:48:05.960
giving you money. Why are you
trying to kill me? I don't understand

589
00:48:06.039 --> 00:48:09.239
the goal of our relationship, and
so and again I've said this before,

590
00:48:09.320 --> 00:48:14.000
I'll say it again. I've never
had a problem with the earth. I

591
00:48:14.159 --> 00:48:16.159
like what it does. It's solid, my feet are on all day long.

592
00:48:16.400 --> 00:48:20.519
Hasn't ever let me out. You
have a healthy respect for gravity.

593
00:48:20.800 --> 00:48:30.119
I do because it is undefeated.
Yes, Newton was onto something and I

594
00:48:30.239 --> 00:48:32.159
haven't tested his theory since then.
I'm like, you know, what that

595
00:48:32.280 --> 00:48:35.920
guy when an apple hit him on
the head, boom, got it.

596
00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:38.719
He figured it out. I'm good
here. Never had an issue with the

597
00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:43.760
Earth. Never like let's skydive.
No, you're in somebody else's hood.

598
00:48:44.360 --> 00:48:46.480
They like that. You say you've
never had any issues with the Earth,

599
00:48:46.559 --> 00:48:52.119
But I guarantee you there are a
handful of people throughout time and throughout history

600
00:48:53.079 --> 00:48:58.360
that have been swallowed by sinkholes by
the Earth. That would beg to differ.

601
00:48:59.360 --> 00:49:01.360
Yeah, But then and again that's
kind of I mean, I can't

602
00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:05.280
control that weird phenomenon. But like, if you're on a golf course,

603
00:49:05.760 --> 00:49:08.559
there was one that happened where the
guys got saved because his buddy last minute

604
00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:13.239
reacted and caught his like held onto
his club and pulled him out of a

605
00:49:13.280 --> 00:49:15.400
sinkhole. First of all, that's
a good buddy and he never has to

606
00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:19.400
pay for drinks again. But also, you built a golf course and didn't

607
00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:22.079
check to see if there was a
potential for sinkhole. I'm just saying.

608
00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:27.400
I'm just saying I haven't ever and
knocked on the wood, I've never been

609
00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:30.400
in a situation where sinkhole has happened. But they do terrify me because what

610
00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:35.719
do you do? You just nothing
you can do? Yeah, And while

611
00:49:35.880 --> 00:49:39.159
while developers have run amuck over the
years, I do applaud the fact that

612
00:49:39.360 --> 00:49:46.800
they have not yet put a golf
course in the middle of Yellowstone. You

613
00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:52.000
said yet. I said yet,
very intentionally, because you know, the

614
00:49:52.079 --> 00:50:00.760
guys are on seven is going to
be really tempting. It's a water speaking

615
00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:06.920
of sinkholes. There's something do We
all grow up with a a healthy fear

616
00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:10.679
of quicksand only to find that really, yes, not only quicksand, but

617
00:50:10.760 --> 00:50:15.440
thanks to the never ending story,
a real fear of mud. Oh yeah,

618
00:50:15.519 --> 00:50:20.599
that poor horse. Yeah, but
quicksand is real, isn't y.

619
00:50:21.039 --> 00:50:22.840
Yeah, yeah, it's just not
as prevalent as we were made to believe

620
00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:25.840
it was. Oh yeah, that
was the one thing that right there.

621
00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:30.360
That was our babysitter when we were
kids. Today, kids can't go anywhere

622
00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:35.000
without eyes on them at all times. Right, Our babysitter as kids was

623
00:50:35.239 --> 00:50:39.920
well, don't go too far,
there's quicksand out in them woods. Our

624
00:50:39.960 --> 00:50:51.039
babysitter was fear. Yeah, yeah, I just didn't. Yeah, I'm

625
00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:52.920
good with I don't skydive, I
don't swim in the Ocean. I don't

626
00:50:53.360 --> 00:50:59.320
roller coaster. Here's my favorite roller
coaster moment. It's when the Titan first

627
00:51:00.159 --> 00:51:04.079
opened at six Flags over Texas.
Here in Dallas. My buddy Eric mccocha

628
00:51:04.119 --> 00:51:07.960
and I are driving and we have
to go about forty miles past six small

629
00:51:08.239 --> 00:51:10.920
little town I can't remember. We
had to go pick up some stuff and

630
00:51:12.199 --> 00:51:14.679
he's like, the Titan opens today, and I'm like yeah, and he's

631
00:51:14.719 --> 00:51:15.360
like, would you ever ride it? I was like nope. He goes,

632
00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:17.880
I'll give you ten bucks. I
was like no, he goes one

633
00:51:17.960 --> 00:51:22.039
hundred. He said no. He
goes, I'll give you one thousand dollars

634
00:51:22.800 --> 00:51:24.000
if you ride the Titan with me, and I said no, and he

635
00:51:24.719 --> 00:51:30.360
upped it to this. He goes
ten grand. And now we're nearing six

636
00:51:30.440 --> 00:51:35.400
Flags and there are helicopters everywhere,
and I was like, huh, I

637
00:51:35.480 --> 00:51:38.800
wonder what's going on. That's when
the ride stalled at the very top at

638
00:51:38.920 --> 00:51:44.159
this angle, so they had to
get everybody off one by one and everybody

639
00:51:44.199 --> 00:51:47.519
had to walk down and I was
like, see, that will never happen

640
00:51:47.599 --> 00:51:52.559
to me, not even for ten
grand, because now you're up like this,

641
00:51:52.119 --> 00:51:55.079
so all the blood flow is going
to get really really complicated. So

642
00:51:55.159 --> 00:51:58.440
who do you get off first?
The guy's in the back or the guys

643
00:51:58.440 --> 00:52:01.000
at the top? No, don't
care, never gonna happen to me.

644
00:52:01.920 --> 00:52:04.840
I know. The whole time in
that story, I'm like, I would

645
00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:07.239
as much as I don't like roller
coasters anymore. And the last second to

646
00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:12.119
last roller coaster I rode was the
Titan on opening day. M M.

647
00:52:12.880 --> 00:52:15.199
I would absolutely ride that thing for
ten grand, But after hearing the rest

648
00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:22.519
of the story, I'll up.
Paul Harvey. I've seen video of the

649
00:52:22.599 --> 00:52:25.400
roller coaster workers walking down those things. I couldn't do it. I would

650
00:52:25.440 --> 00:52:29.000
just have to tell them, no, you're just gonna have to fix the

651
00:52:29.119 --> 00:52:32.559
ride and slowly inch me down with
my butt firmly planted in this chair.

652
00:52:32.920 --> 00:52:37.719
I cannot walk down that thing.
And the steps are like, I mean,

653
00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:39.079
this is just I mean, you're
I mean, it's just all it's

654
00:52:39.159 --> 00:52:44.400
the same, it's the same angle
all thinking about doing it, but yeah

655
00:52:44.800 --> 00:52:49.239
no, And like like people walk
across the Sydney Bridge like in Australia and

656
00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:52.199
I'm like, no, why what
are you doing? Will they strap you

657
00:52:52.320 --> 00:52:55.400
in? Okay? Good, I
don't need to be strapped into something.

658
00:52:55.480 --> 00:52:59.800
What are we doing? Yeah,
because at that point, the Titan becomes

659
00:52:59.840 --> 00:53:06.320
the Dangler, and I'm gonna want
a lot more than ten thousand dollars to

660
00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:16.000
take that ride. Dan has flashbacks
to the childhood I really really want I

661
00:53:16.199 --> 00:53:29.360
really should not have gone on summer
vacation to adopted Land. Also, which

662
00:53:29.440 --> 00:53:38.320
twisted mffort came up with an amusement
park like that. It's the saddest.

663
00:53:38.400 --> 00:53:44.840
It's a small world ride. It's
just one kid in a boat, aimlessly

664
00:53:45.079 --> 00:54:04.960
floating, looking for parents. It's
a sad world. My foster mom,

665
00:54:05.039 --> 00:54:14.119
I want to ride the home.
Oh the whack of Mole is actually just

666
00:54:14.199 --> 00:54:22.719
called foster mom. Little kids popping
out and hit him on the I like

667
00:54:22.800 --> 00:54:24.440
it. I like this place.
And Doctor is a place we should build.

668
00:54:24.920 --> 00:54:30.199
Oh God help us all. Oh
we'll see you next time. In Secretary
