00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:29.679
today's show, why did a drunk man tear down his

own house? Also for those four students left dangling on

8
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:40.399
a roller coaster at the Pleasure Peer in Galveston, there

9
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:44.520
has been a plot twist we'll tell you about, as

10
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:49.560
if dangling from a roller coaster at the precipice of

11
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:56.679
demise isn't horrible enough. Also birthdays and in some of

12
00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:03.200
the biggest North Texas news that is need news that

13
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:07.599
is neither surprising nor depressing for me. The Dallas Mavericks

14
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:13.040
and the Dallas Stars are fleeing the comfy confines of

15
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:17.480
the American Airlines Center near downtown Dallas and they're heading north.

16
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:22.200
Stars are heading to the Willow Bend area in Plano,

17
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.000
and the Stars, I'm sorry, and the Mavericks are headed

18
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.439
to the now defunct Valley View Mall area in North

19
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:34.200
Dallas off of six point thirty five. Really, yes, they

20
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:47.719
are again, I am neither surprised nor depressed. I I'm

21
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:50.400
still I'm look I will admit I'm still butt hurt

22
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:52.599
about the Hole Luca thing. I am. I am no

23
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:55.239
longer in MFFL, which I guess would mean I wasn't

24
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:57.640
in the first place. I don't like the new ownership

25
00:01:57.640 --> 00:01:59.359
and the things that they have done since they've been here,

26
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:01.680
so it doesn't matter to me where the MAVs go.

27
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:06.239
I'm not going. The Stars, on the other hand, they

28
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:11.439
are also moving, and I think probably the biggest wake

29
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:14.360
up call that may happen with these two franchises is

30
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:19.800
realizing that they were stronger together than they are apart.

31
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:21.240
And they gonna find out.

32
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.080
It's not even gonna really matter to the franchises. It's

33
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:27.199
the city. I mean, Plano has absolutely lost their mind.

34
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.479
Because what is Plano doing to attract the Stars. Oh,

35
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:34.080
they're giving them huge tax incentives to move there. And

36
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:39.439
the problem is, you look at Victory as a development.

37
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:44.520
It has been there now for twenty five years. It

38
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.840
is just in the last couple of years you've had

39
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:51.400
a few tenants that have finally survived and are doing well.

40
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:53.240
You still you go back and look at the places

41
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:57.960
around American Airlines Center. They're completely dependent upon activity at

42
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:03.159
the AAC. So you know, Stars play forty one home games,

43
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.520
Maps play forty one home games, you have preseason, you

44
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.800
have playoffs, you have concerts, which keep that in mind,

45
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:11.960
they're not going to immediately just shutter the AAC, so

46
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.960
it'll still be holding concerts and stuff like that. But total,

47
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:18.560
you have about probably one hundred and twenty nights a

48
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:23.439
year that brings stuff down to there.

49
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:26.680
And that still has not been enough for the majority

50
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:30.719
of twenty five years to keep businesses in place. And again,

51
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.560
like you said, they're better together than a part. So now,

52
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:38.479
especially in Plano, the notion that one of these franchises

53
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:43.360
can carry an entire development is a joke. The MAVs

54
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.240
are simply betting on the fact that that they will

55
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:50.159
get a casino. That's the whole play there, especially after

56
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:54.120
the thea Tita Brothers in Houston. They just bought a casino.

57
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:58.439
I forgot which one, but you know, everyone's trying to

58
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.360
get in, you know, first in place, first place to

59
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:05.439
be at the development for a casino in Texas. But

60
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:11.800
the Stars have lost their mind because if you look

61
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.159
at it from a centralized point of view. You're not

62
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.079
going to get the same draw Dallas. People are not

63
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:19.240
going to drive a lot of them. Am not going

64
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:22.839
to go sit in traffic because when you're coming from

65
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:25.560
plane to Dallas at let's say six point thirty, you're

66
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:29.800
going kind of against traffic. You're right in the thick

67
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:31.839
of things. If you're trying to go from Dallas to Plano.

68
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:35.319
And I think someone I forgot his name of WFA

69
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.800
put it deal. It's like, right now it's forty five

70
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:40.600
minutes to get from American Airlines Center to will have been.

71
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:44.639
So it's going to change a lot of things, and

72
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:46.839
it's a real boneheaded.

73
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:51.160
Move an he deals with dark that we know about.

74
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:56.079
Dart's just trying to survive let alone. I think five

75
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:57.519
years into the future.

76
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:02.000
Have you not looked at the different referendum on suburbs

77
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:08.639
for Dart. They're canceling Dart. Yeah, Dart Again. The statistic

78
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.000
you always need to know about Dark is Dart is

79
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.759
they could go by every one of their writers like

80
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:17.000
a used Toyota Corolla and be better off financially than

81
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:17.879
they are operating.

82
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.319
Try that. I think that's worth a shot. I think

83
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:24.680
it's worth looking into do a little test phase with it,

84
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.800
have a little beta group that's like, you know, let's

85
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:30.680
find one hundred people, give them a Toda Corolla and

86
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:35.399
just see how it goes. They may like it better. Look,

87
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:38.759
the Double Ac I was the twenty five years ago.

88
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:41.560
I mean the Double Ac opened up in two thousand

89
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.920
and one July of two thousand and one, and I

90
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:49.439
was kind of surprised that it was able to happen

91
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:55.480
because Dallas was having such a hard time trying to

92
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:59.680
keep things in Dallas and the fact that it happened. Look,

93
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:03.160
I I give all that credit to Mark Cuban. And

94
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:09.680
now twenty five years later, you know, the Cowboys wanted

95
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:14.199
to go to Dallas. They wanted to revitalize the Cotton

96
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:16.000
Bowl area around that.

97
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:17.240
That is absolutely false.

98
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.480
The Cowboys didn't want that. No, that was how Laura

99
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:24.680
Miller killed the deal. No, no, no, I know that

100
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.639
she screwed that up. But my my understanding of the

101
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:32.240
Cowboys situation was that they were maybe it wasn't their idea,

102
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:34.959
but they were certainly open to going to Dallas and

103
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:38.480
they going back to the Cotton Bowl. But no, it was.

104
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:41.560
Never no, it was always they wanted to be over

105
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.319
basically in the Trinity area because there's there's a lot.

106
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:49.439
Of land they could have developed. Okay, on the that

107
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:54.839
southern part of downtown Dallas.

108
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:59.040
Then maybe I've got the area confused, and my memory is,

109
00:06:59.279 --> 00:06:59.959
of course.

110
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.680
No, Laura Miller threw that in because she knew that

111
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.040
Fair Park is a state park and so you would

112
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:09.279
have to have the state legislature approve that, and that

113
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:11.920
was going to be another They were off on and

114
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:13.480
off year, so it was going to be another like

115
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:16.720
eighteen months to get that to go through, and Jerry wasn't.

116
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:20.519
Gonna wait, gotcha, now that part I remember. What I'm

117
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:23.800
saying is maybe I misremembered was thinking that the Cowboys

118
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:29.160
were at the very least open to moving into Dallas proper.

119
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.839
Maybe yeah, they were, and that they actually wanted to

120
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.800
move into Dallas. But obviously we all knew Jerry Jones

121
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:38.399
is going to do whatever was the best deal financially

122
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:43.600
for him. Arlington backed up the subsidy truck to Jerry Jones,

123
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.480
so they went to Arlington and Arlington now and now

124
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.480
you got the Stars doing the same thing with the

125
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:49.399
city of Plano.

126
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:49.959
Well.

127
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:55.160
Totally, I mean, a real different deal, but and ay,

128
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:57.319
it has worked great for Arlington. Arlington, I think they're

129
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:01.079
five years ahead on their bonds. So and you look

130
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:04.639
at what's now they have that what Arlington has is

131
00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.439
what Dallas should have had, and that goes to Dallas's

132
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:11.759
first big mistake is not getting the Rangers. But you

133
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.600
have a whole development over there between Globe Life and

134
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:21.240
AT and T Stadium. Texas Live does great and so

135
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:24.959
they've developed a nice entertainment district. But mind you, you

136
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:33.240
have two franchises in the same vicinity. One has eighty

137
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:38.720
one games home games a year, not including preseason or playoffs.

138
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:41.399
That's one of the big things baseball people don't realize.

139
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:43.240
It's just the sure number of games that you're going

140
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:45.600
to bring at least ten to fifteen thousand people in.

141
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:49.799
And then you have the number one sport in the

142
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:53.279
United States that at anytime they open their doors for anything,

143
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:59.360
people flood it. But the Stars, that's the one I

144
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:02.960
really I'm surprised because you just look at the numbers

145
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:08.360
on hockey. It's although the Stars do do just fine

146
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:12.120
when they're at American Airlines Center, but it's not Their

147
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:15.399
revenue is the lowest of the Big four and It'll

148
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:20.240
be very very interesting to see if if Plano has

149
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:22.200
and you know, Dallas is a lot bigger than Plano,

150
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:24.639
to see if Plano has the numbers to support that.

151
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:29.000
Yeah, I will say the Dallas Stars did such a

152
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:31.639
great job when they first came into the area integrating

153
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:35.200
hockey into you know, football country. They had all the

154
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:37.960
little Doctors, all the Doctor Peppers star centers set up.

155
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:39.440
I don't even know how many of those are still

156
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.320
around it. There's at least a couple. But you know,

157
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:47.679
hockey is still an uphill battle when it comes to

158
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:52.559
North Texas. So that takes me back to the Stars

159
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:57.960
and the MAVs parting ways going into their own developments. Man,

160
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.759
that's going to be tough. And like with the MAVs

161
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.960
moving into the Valley View area, it's again based on

162
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:08.879
recent decisions that the MAVs have made as a franchise.

163
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.679
I would just prefer them opening up an Orange Julius

164
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:13.960
at the old Valley View site. I'd go back for that.

165
00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:17.720
Maybe even the Folies. That's going to be a bigger

166
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:21.960
draw to me than the Mavericks. I just I really

167
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.960
thought that they would have stood a better chance together.

168
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:26.679
But obviously they're doing what they want to do on

169
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:27.080
their own.

170
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:30.039
Well, they've been in a lawsuit I mean for the

171
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:32.879
last couple of years that the Mavericks just won as

172
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:38.080
far as just for control of American Airline Center. But

173
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:41.559
this is also another one of those things. The City

174
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:48.159
of Dallas, you knew this coming. Arenas have a thirty year.

175
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:48.960
Lifespan these days.

176
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:53.879
At most Dallas should have been preparing for this starting

177
00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:57.600
five years ago and with a proposal to keep them

178
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:00.399
together and do something, and said, you got this last

179
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:02.360
minute crap of it was either gonna be city Hall,

180
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.519
Value View or the suburbs. I guess for Dallas at

181
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:09.840
least they kept him in Dallas.

182
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:14.639
Yeah, and I know that they've been They people, developers whatever,

183
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:17.120
have been wanting to do something with that old Value

184
00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:18.960
View site for years.

185
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:24.360
Yeah, everything is everything they've plan's fallen through. So because

186
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:27.559
it's not that desirable.

187
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:30.759
Of an area, it's not. And six thirty five already sucks,

188
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:33.759
And what little traffic you're going to get with that

189
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:36.720
new development with MAVs Games is going to make six

190
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:38.159
thirty five even worse.

191
00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:43.639
Oh what little what little traffic? Don't you know?

192
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:47.200
If they make a casino there. That's permanent traffic. You

193
00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:50.879
are going to have to have, you know different, They're

194
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:53.039
gonna have to rebuild ramps and do all sorts of

195
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:56.080
other things to accommodate set traffic.

196
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:59.600
Now, that is the difference. If the Addleson's and Patrick

197
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:05.000
Dumont from the Mavericks can finally railroad a casino into

198
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:08.120
that development, then they win, and they can make their

199
00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:11.720
own new highway leading directly to it that can Bypass

200
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.600
six thirty five. Just call it Casino Drive or cash

201
00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:20.919
Money Lane whatever, and that'll be fine until then, I mean,

202
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:25.159
nothing's happening immediately. The MAVs and the Stars lease both

203
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:28.759
expire from the Double AC in twenty thirty one, so

204
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:33.639
we've got five years until the Double AC can unfurl

205
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.080
the world's largest spirit Halloween banner and we all can

206
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:40.519
have something exciting to go to downtown.

207
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:48.159
Well, but the sad thing is is that sorry, no, no, no,

208
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.480
you're good. Oh, I mean the.

209
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:54.000
Sad thing is all the businesses that have invested a

210
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:58.120
lot of money to be down there and have long

211
00:12:58.200 --> 00:12:59.960
term plans just basically got a.

212
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:04.279
Notice that they're gonna have to close up.

213
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:09.120
Shop, yeah, or severely alter their business models. On the

214
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:14.200
flip side, if you live around the Victory area, the

215
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:17.240
good news is you can finally get some food delivered

216
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:21.480
to you on game nights. So I mean there are

217
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:23.440
some benefits. Now. It's like, now I wouldn't be so

218
00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:26.960
bad because if you live down there, it's it's kind

219
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:28.879
of like like growing up in Arlington like I did

220
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:32.320
in high school, always keeping the Rangers schedule in the car,

221
00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:36.320
so I knew which way to get Brandon out of Arlington,

222
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:38.679
whether or not the team was in town or not.

223
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:42.440
People that live in that area of Dallas are like, Okay,

224
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:44.600
you really need to pay attention because you may not

225
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:47.360
be able to get home very easily, or get out

226
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:50.799
very easily, or get things, you know, dropped off. So

227
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:53.799
it's it's and you said it earlier trade that whole

228
00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:58.240
area was already To me, it was kind of a mystery.

229
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.600
Maybe you've got a handle on it. I thought that

230
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:06.000
that development, the Victory, Yeah, the Victory Park development was

231
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:08.600
going to be a success because you had both the

232
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:12.039
MAVs and the Stars, this new arena, all this stuff

233
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:13.759
that was going to be built up around it in

234
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:19.519
an area that there was really nothing before. I thought

235
00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:22.759
it was going to be great and then nothing for

236
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:26.799
like twenty years. Things struggled to survive in that area.

237
00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:29.399
No, it's not a shocker.

238
00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:33.960
And because you still everything comes down when you were

239
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:37.440
stuff like that urban density. How many people do you

240
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:40.080
have and it's you look at the number of high

241
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:42.120
rises that have gone up that are still going up.

242
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:45.200
They have struggled, but.

243
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:49.080
It's still and this is something downtown has struggled my

244
00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:53.879
whole life with anything thriving downtown, right, and it all

245
00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:58.440
comes back to urban density. You need it because whereas

246
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.320
if you're in New York City you have no place

247
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:04.240
to go, but in an urban area, you're going to

248
00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:07.759
be in a high rise of mid rise whatever here

249
00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:09.919
because we have so much land.

250
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:10.639
It's the whole thing.

251
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:15.600
We grow out and family, especially if you're a family

252
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:18.039
with kids, most of them don't want to be downtown.

253
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:19.840
They want to be you know, in a house with

254
00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:24.080
a yard everything else. And that's why they just struggle.

255
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:26.720
And now I mean you look at because not only

256
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:28.600
you're losing the stars, you're losing the mouth. You also

257
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:33.399
you're losing AT and T as you know a their

258
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:37.600
corporate headquarters. Yeah, now you have I think gold and

259
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:39.559
sacks building a huge complex down there, but.

260
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:42.960
And the whole y'all street thing.

261
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:46.679
Which which may help, but it's still this is going

262
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:48.840
to be a huge blow.

263
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:53.200
Uh. Fox four caught up with Candy Evans, who runs

264
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:56.639
candies dirt dot com. Part of the reason I bring

265
00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:58.200
up is I just wanted to see Trey's face when

266
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.600
I said her name. Uh. And she regularly follows real

267
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:05.000
estate in DFW. On the post with Lord Improvable, she

268
00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:07.480
says the city must promote its downtown in a way

269
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:10.200
that continues to attract residents in the wake of the

270
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:12.879
MAVs and the Stars leaving. She says, and that quote

271
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:16.480
everybody watched Trey's face. If you're watching this, pat for

272
00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:20.360
you too. If we would draw on the authenticity of

273
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:22.759
downtown Dallas, that's it. That's as far as I could

274
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:28.399
get in the quote. The authenticity of Dallas. Okay, downtown,

275
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:32.720
I don't know. The authenticity of downe Dallas is covered

276
00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:35.679
in piss or you know, the.

277
00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:40.320
Blood of a president. I mean, that's that's the problem.

278
00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:45.320
There is very little downtown offers. It never has, right,

279
00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:49.600
I mean, Jesus, I'm born and raised in Dallas. I

280
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:53.720
still struggle to drive around downtown Dallas. It's poorly planned out.

281
00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:54.879
Uh.

282
00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:58.480
You have crime problems galore.

283
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:00.159
Uh uh.

284
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:04.599
And just look that's on the The AAC is on

285
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:06.920
the north side of Downtown Dallas. Go look on the

286
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:10.160
south side with you know, south side on Lamar everything else.

287
00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:11.920
Everything has struggled down there.

288
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:14.640
And now.

289
00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:18.359
With AT and T going everything else, you just kind

290
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:20.119
of got the middle too. Hey, maybe the West n

291
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:20.759
will come back.

292
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:25.200
That's what we need. We need. We need a good

293
00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:29.319
Dallas alley. We need that chocolate factory. Uh yeah, what

294
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:31.359
was it spaghetti warehouse that was down there back in

295
00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:33.279
the day. Bring all that stuff back. I'm sure it'll

296
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:36.799
come roaring back. You know what it needs. We need

297
00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:39.279
to bring back playing at Hollywood because that did well

298
00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:40.079
for everybody.

299
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:42.359
Good arcade.

300
00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:49.440
Yeah, actually I would go to a downtown arcade. That

301
00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:52.640
might be fun. I like your idea.

302
00:17:54.400 --> 00:18:00.920
You're in the Treehouse. Visit us online, not Treehouse on

303
00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:02.119
air dot com.

304
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:06.240
I got it. Downtown Dallas is an extension of GTA six,

305
00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:11.119
but in real life. Now you gotta winner. Time now

306
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:14.559
to talk to Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration.

307
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:16.880
A man of many talents, not only is he the

308
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:22.480
Tarzan of roofing. He's also a master contractor. He can

309
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:25.480
change your ugly kitchen into a beautiful one. And he's

310
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:27.400
also a bit of a word smith. If you have

311
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:29.720
not checked it out yet, you need to check out

312
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:34.079
the Know Your Home Show from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration

313
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:38.759
hosted by Yours Trules that's me and Daniel. Check it

314
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:42.160
out on YouTube YouTube dot com slash at Know Your Home.

315
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:44.039
It's been a lot of fun doing that show, hasn't it.

316
00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:44.279
Dan.

317
00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:45.640
That has been a fantastic time.

318
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:48.640
I look forward to every episode and it really is

319
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:51.640
focused on homeowners knowing their home and that's that was

320
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:54.640
the baseline, and that's what we're sticking with. We've had

321
00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:57.920
some really great guests that have been very informative, and

322
00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:01.200
I look forward to getting some feed back and having

323
00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:03.599
more people listen to that show and hopefully it really

324
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:06.039
helps understand and know your home better.

325
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:08.480
And it really is an approach where there are no

326
00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:11.440
dumb questions. We want this to be sort of homeownership

today with some birthdays. And there's a really good one

345
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:30.480
to end birthdays, so hang with me. We will start

346
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:34.240
with Anderson Cooper. Anderson Cooper of CNN and sixty Minutes fame.

347
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:37.839
He is fifty nine years old today. He's also famous

348
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:39.680
for all the wrong reasons on New Year's Eve when

349
00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:42.359
he and Andy Cohen hosts for some reason CNN or

350
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:48.039
is it Bravos whatever thing. Basically, it's the the annual

351
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:52.160
Anderson Cooper drunk thing. Andy Cohen. I don't watch it,

352
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:53.960
but it's usually good for a couple of clips the

353
00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:57.920
next morning. Doctor Jill Biden, former First Lady. She is

354
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:03.160
seventy five. Today Susie Quatro is all is seventy six

355
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:05.000
today Susie Quatro seventy six?

356
00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:05.920
Who is that?

357
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:09.880
Honest to god, I was hoping you would know, because

358
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:11.839
I know that name. I just don't know. I'm like,

359
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:16.039
is it a singer? Actress? Let me check here? Susie

360
00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:23.759
quatrom come on. She is an American born rock singer, bassis, songwriter,

361
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:28.400
and actress. I was right trailblazer of nineteen seventies glam rock.

362
00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:32.319
She became the first female bass player to achieve major

363
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:39.759
international stardom, influencing generations of women in rock music. She

364
00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:43.359
is also the pleasure Seekers, The pleasure Seekers, Thank You, Jerry.

365
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:48.160
She was probably best known as Leather Tuscadero in Happy Days.

366
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:50.240
That's how I know. That's how I know, all right,

367
00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:53.839
That's how I know. It also tennis great Rafiel and

368
00:21:53.880 --> 00:22:00.000
the doll turns forty today. I think I have this correct.

369
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.119
So it's Nadal and Roger Federer that are the two

370
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:05.440
big guys for many media years going head to head.

371
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:11.920
I think it's Djokovic two, but I think Nadal has

372
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.400
an edged. I think Federer has beaten a doll more. Again,

373
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:17.240
I may have this backwards, but I think Federer has

374
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:21.359
beaten a doll more. But Nadal owns Federer on clay.

375
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:25.839
Yeah, everyone, Nadal owned everyone on clay, I believe.

376
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:30.559
Yeah, look at that, eh, All this random crap in

377
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:35.039
my head is not just movies. Speaking of movies, the

378
00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:44.480
greatest birthday of today, without a doubt, is actress i'm

379
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:55.200
a Jim Poots. She is thirty seven today. Now I

380
00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:58.960
know what you're thinking. A. Is that name real? Yes?

381
00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:04.480
It is? I checked, and B could it get any worse?

382
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:08.640
And the answer is yes. Because her middle name is gay.

383
00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:12.319
I don't mean her middle name is homosexual. I don't

384
00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:16.519
mean her middle name is the alternate slang for gay stupid.

385
00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:19.799
I mean her middle name is actually gay. Her full

386
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:24.480
name is I'm a Jen Gay Poots. Happy birthday to her.

387
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:28.759
She is thirty seven Today was famously twenty eight weeks later.

388
00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:34.039
I really look it up to see if that was real.

389
00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:36.480
I was like, there's no way that's really don't. I

390
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:40.319
don't believe it. The prep services is testing me. It's

391
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:43.079
some sort of weird April Fool's Day. But no, unless

392
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:46.720
the entire Internet is conspiring, that is a real person

393
00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:47.400
in a real name.

394
00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:48.480
That was your big tease.

395
00:23:49.960 --> 00:24:01.160
Yes, okay, I'm a Jen Poots. Okay, shut up, Trey

396
00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:04.000
imaging Gay Poots.

397
00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:10.079
Come on, you own this one.

398
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:17.559
I'm not saying I don't. I'm just saying, change the name.

399
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:20.200
I mean, there are certain names of people of a

400
00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:22.279
certain notoriety or it's like, you know what, I think

401
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:25.400
I may change this, Like celebrities will change their names

402
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:27.079
all the time. I forget what Tom Cruise is is,

403
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:30.839
but it's something kind of weird slash random. But it

404
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:32.880
was a normal name and he just went with you know,

405
00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:36.240
Tom Cruise. I'm just saying. And then I think it

406
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:39.680
was a it was a basketball player or football player,

407
00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:43.160
Rudy Gay. Not if there's anything wrong with that, but

408
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:48.480
I might have been tempted to change it. You're just

409
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:54.039
let me sit at it. That I don't. I don't

410
00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:58.920
like you too. All right, let's get to the most

411
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:02.519
important story of the day, the claim Actually, hang on,

412
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:06.960
did you guys see the viral story? Well, actually try

413
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:09.119
I believe you sent me the video a few days

414
00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:14.960
ago of the stranded roller coaster writers at pleasure here

415
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:16.440
in Galveston.

416
00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:18.440
M I sent it to you, and I hoped it

417
00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:19.839
would give you nightmares.

418
00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:22.000
And it did, thank you very much. But then you

419
00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:25.279
followed it up by sending that Asian woman going to

420
00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:27.720
town on some pig testicles that had just been roasted,

421
00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:36.799
and that that supplanted the roller coaster nightmare. But a viral,

422
00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:40.359
a further viral story has come out of that roller

423
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:47.000
that dangling roller coaster nightmare, and the internet is furious

424
00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:51.079
over a woman supposedly suing firefighters after they rescued her

425
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:56.599
from that roller coaster. But there's one tiny problem. The

426
00:25:56.680 --> 00:25:59.960
viral story claimed a woman sued firefighters because they touched

427
00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:04.680
inappropriately while saving her from the roller coaster stuck nearly

428
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:07.440
one hundred feet in the air, which, of course sounds outrageous.

429
00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:11.119
But according to fact checkers and snopes dot com, because

430
00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:14.680
I check these things, there is zero evidence that this

431
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:19.599
lawsuit exists or is even intended to be filed. The

432
00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:23.039
claim appears to of course, started on social media, spread

433
00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:26.960
like wildfire without any credible reporting to back it up.

434
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:30.559
So while we love stupid here inside the Treehouse, we

435
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:35.920
also like to have some shred of credibility, the tiniest

436
00:26:35.960 --> 00:26:41.400
amount possible of journalistic integrity. So on the show and

437
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:45.359
even online on social media, if we're talking about something,

438
00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:48.640
we believe it to be real. We're not ever going

439
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:51.359
to fake you out just for clicks and views and

440
00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:57.119
downloads and things, although many other people don't have that

441
00:26:57.559 --> 00:27:03.640
same mentality. But we also we're a little disappointed because

442
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:07.839
that would have been a really good story. So yeah,

443
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:09.880
a bunch of people just spent the last few days

444
00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:15.960
arguing over a lawsuit that doesn't even exist, just like

445
00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:23.680
my six pack by track. You know, don't you feel

446
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:28.240
good knowing that we're right up there with sixty minutes

447
00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:34.480
When it comes to journalistic integrity, it's them and us.

448
00:27:35.359 --> 00:27:37.720
Maybe we should send a note to Scott Pelley saying

449
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:46.240
we're hiring for a news guy. There you go, you're

472
00:29:09.279 --> 00:29:12.000
drunk man tore down his own house. Anyone want to

473
00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:12.759
guess why.

474
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:14.960
A bit?

475
00:29:16.359 --> 00:29:16.720
What's that?

476
00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:17.759
A bitch?

477
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:23.880
And you're giving me a hard time about that? I'm

478
00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:28.079
a jin Poots lady, Yes, trail woman. It was over

479
00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:32.079
a woman. The headline actually reads drunk husband takes messy

480
00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:38.079
break up with wife to the next level with home demolition. Wow.

481
00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:41.279
And I said, I said bitch for a very specific reason,

482
00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:44.759
because a drunk guy doing that, that is the only

483
00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:48.400
thing he's thinking of. That bitch made me mad for

484
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:51.880
some reason. I yeah, tear it all down.

485
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.079
So let's see who With as much information that we

486
00:29:56.079 --> 00:30:00.440
can glean from this new story, let's ask the question

487
00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:06.599
and then try to answer it. Was he right or

488
00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:12.200
do you get it? Was this an overreaction any one

489
00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:14.880
of these things. Let's let's see. Let's see if this

490
00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:18.279
was an overreaction or if we feel like, you know what,

491
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:19.160
I kind of get it.

492
00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:21.119
All right.

493
00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:27.160
A marital dispute in Pennsylvania took an extreme turn, resulting

494
00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:29.400
in the destruction of a large chunk of their house.

495
00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:36.599
According to report's forty eight year old Eric Perswa, Here's yeah,

496
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:40.279
Eric Piers what used an excavator to rip apart the

497
00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:42.759
rear of his family home after a big night of

498
00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:48.799
drinking prompted an argument with his wife. The damage was

499
00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:52.559
so severe that investigators believe it has compromised the entire

500
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:57.839
building's structural integrity. According to CBS News, the incident unfolded

501
00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:00.880
when his wife reportedly told him their marriage was over,

502
00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:05.279
to which he responded by saying, if it's over, I'll

503
00:31:05.359 --> 00:31:08.599
tear the house down. And then he tore the house

504
00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:13.359
down with an excavator. Yes, I would like to read more.

505
00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:18.440
Local authorities alleged that Eric climbed into the heavy machinery

506
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:20.720
and began tearing into the house while his wife and

507
00:31:20.839 --> 00:31:24.119
two daughters were still inside. We don't know how closed

508
00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:25.759
because he started in the back. We don't know where

509
00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:28.440
they were. The sound of the excavator tearing it through

510
00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:31.440
the walls could reportedly be heard during his wife's frantic

511
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:34.400
nine to one one call. Jerry Makon note it m'd

512
00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:38.960
be a good time to bring back. Then, after the

513
00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:42.480
destruction stopped, investigators say Eric went back inside, grabbed the

514
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:46.160
gym bag, and went into town before eventually being located

515
00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:52.240
and taken in by police. He was arrested and is

516
00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:56.839
now facing several charges, including causing a catastrophe. That's a

517
00:31:56.839 --> 00:32:01.880
good one reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct. Court records also

518
00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:04.200
show his wife planning to seek a protection from abuseh

519
00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:07.480
order following the incident. Probably a good idea. Neighbors who

520
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:09.559
spoke with the local news said they are struggling to

521
00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:13.559
understand how the situation escalated so quickly. So are we

522
00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:17.880
we need more information. One neighbor joked in an interview

523
00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:21.079
that he'd like to know what she said to him,

524
00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:26.880
because I'll make sure I don't say it. Forty two

525
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:29.799
years I've been married, but I've never threatened to tear

526
00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:33.519
down the house. That's according to one neighbor. Users flocked

527
00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:35.680
to social media to weigh in on the incident, with

528
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:38.440
many questioning how someone can be arrested for damaging their

529
00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:42.839
own home. Well, I'll give you one piece of information.

530
00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:47.319
When there's people inside of it, that's right. If there's

531
00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:50.759
no one inside of your house, and you're not drunkenly

532
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:54.400
operating heavy machinery, you can probably just tear down your

533
00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:56.200
own house if you want. I mean, you may have

534
00:32:56.279 --> 00:33:00.519
an issue with like city code enforcement. I don't necessarily

535
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:03.079
going to a rise to a criminal problem, but with

536
00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:07.440
the alcohol and the people, that's yeah, How come.

537
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:10.039
No one's asked the simple question of why did he

538
00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:11.640
just have an excavator on hand?

539
00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:17.039
There are many questions we have about this story, right

540
00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:18.359
what does he do for a living?

541
00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:23.079
But I understand you know exactly what his thought process was.

542
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:27.160
Please please dread light this.

543
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:32.559
If I can't have it, you aren't either.

544
00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:36.359
Oh we're getting a divorce and you want the house?

545
00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:44.960
Huh Okay, yeah, I don't see that. Yeah. One person questioned,

546
00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:46.960
how does he get arrested for tearing down his one house?

547
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:48.839
I feel like we've answered that. Another one poked fun

548
00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:50.720
by saying, well, no one ever accused him of not

549
00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:55.240
following through on his word. True, there many others made

550
00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:57.880
light of it, but at the end of the day,

551
00:33:58.200 --> 00:34:02.039
we still don't know, other than the wife saying the

552
00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:07.200
marriage is over, why he actually decided to tear down

553
00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:10.400
the house. So we're having to make some suppositions. Tray

554
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:13.320
im with you. It's I think it's logical to assume

555
00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:17.440
that when she said I want a divorce, I'm going

556
00:34:17.519 --> 00:34:21.760
to take the house and the kids, he said, hold

557
00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:24.920
my beer, and then he went and jumped in the

558
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:27.800
excavator that for some reason, is on property, and he

559
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:31.639
tore down half the house. I'm assuming the have that

560
00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:33.960
he would be willing to give her in the divorce.

561
00:34:36.239 --> 00:34:41.039
Hey listen, he's not looking at the flip side. At

562
00:34:41.119 --> 00:34:42.840
least she told him they were breaking up.

563
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:51.639
That's that's true. Yeah, that's true. She did him the

564
00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:57.840
courtesy of saying I'm out, as opposed to just yeah

565
00:34:57.880 --> 00:34:58.599
into the wind.

566
00:35:03.199 --> 00:35:06.039
