We start off today talking about the story out of the Olympic village and the fact they went through 10k condoms in less than 3 days.  Are they having that much sex or maiing balloon animals?  Especially when there's another story about GenZ choosing sleep above sex.  We also discuss Nate Newton's pardon by President Trump.

12
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:53.880
Trady Trendholm Man. If we're being honest, the Olympics have

13
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:57.920
turned out to be yet another big giant best in

14
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.679
the Mountains.

15
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:08.200
I mean, I don't know why people are surprised.

16
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:13.280
I don't think they're surprised that the athletes are all

17
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:25.599
having sex. That's pretty normal. But what isn't normal is

18
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:29.439
that the ten thousand free condoms supplied to the Olympic

19
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:32.719
village at the beginning of the twenty twenty six Olympics

20
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:38.439
are already gone and we still have like another week

21
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:41.000
or so of competitions.

22
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:45.200
I mean, it's not shocking that they run out. I

23
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:47.439
think they do that in almost every games. I think

24
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:50.799
what they didn't really factor in is the fact that

25
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:54.599
they're now dealing with primarily gen Z athletes, and we

26
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:58.599
don't know. They could be having an ffest. They could

27
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:05.239
be making party balloons, little animal shapes with him.

28
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:09.000
It's funny you mentioned that because there is an interesting

29
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:11.680
new study about the sex lives of gen Z that

30
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:13.400
I'm going to share with you here in just a

31
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:17.199
little bit, and it is shocking, and it's not that

32
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:21.000
far off of what you just said about proper usage

33
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:27.280
of the condoms. But back to the snowy Alps of

34
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:32.000
Milano Cortina, which, by the way, sounds like a new

35
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:39.840
leather package on an outstanding new luxury vehicle. Yeah yeah,

36
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:44.000
what was it, the fine Corinthian leather of a Cadillac

37
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.879
or something that was voiced by Ricardo Montalban.

38
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:51.560
Yeah, something like that, Yeah, yeah.

39
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:54.120
Which then got new life when Ryan Reynolds has a

40
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:56.759
deadpool brought that line back as his face is being

41
00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:03.599
smushed up against the backseat of a car. Anyway, supplies

42
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:08.479
have run bone dry at the twenty twenty six Winter Olympics,

43
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:13.400
the free condoms dulled out the athletes are reportedly gone.

44
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:18.599
An anonymous athlete told Italian news outlet les Stempa that

45
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:22.080
all the condoms in Northern Italy's Olympic village were snatched

46
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:27.479
up in just seventy two hours. The athlete did say

47
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:31.879
the suppliers promised us more will arrive, but who knows.

48
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:35.919
When look, I realized it's not supposed to be a

49
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:40.520
common thing to pull out at the Olympics during competition.

50
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:43.879
But maybe in the village you can work on that

51
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:51.199
side of the equation. Competitors were provided fewer than ten

52
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:56.479
thousand condoms compared to the Paris Games, when they were

53
00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:01.400
given over three hundred thousand. Oh my god, that's a

54
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:07.439
lot of screwing. The difference might be partly due to

55
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.280
the number of athletes. The Winter Games are hosting under

56
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:15.919
three thousand participants compared to the Paris Summer Olympics, where

57
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:23.000
the athletes measured at ten thousand, five hundred, So they're

58
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:27.639
basically going a three to one ratio of condoms to

59
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:29.279
athletes at these games.

60
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:36.560
Dealing with especially the winter athletes that have basically think

61
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:40.680
been isolated for four years doing nothing but training and

62
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.319
now they're you know, around a bunch of other very

63
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:48.040
elite athletes, and it, as it always is, it's a

64
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:54.120
damn ffest Like this isn't I keep seeing the story

65
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:58.560
of people just like shocked, and we get the story

66
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:01.959
every two years during the Olympics. Yeah, like this is.

67
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.879
I mean, hell, we've been talking about these stories for

68
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:06.279
over twenty years.

69
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.560
And I look forward to talking about them twenty years

70
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:15.519
from now. Look, I'm a big fan of routine. I'm

71
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.959
a big fan of things not changing, and this is

72
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:22.040
one of those stories that I can count on coming

73
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:24.360
back every couple of years and it just kind of

74
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:26.360
makes me feel good, kind of like a holiday.

75
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:31.879
Well, and I always Brandy and I were talking about

76
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:40.279
this the other day, I mean taking out curling the

77
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:43.600
these athletes in the Winter Games, because especially I think

78
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:48.720
for the United States, but anywhere where there's remotely warm climate,

79
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:52.759
you sit there and wonder how does one get into

80
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:58.680
the you know, long distance biathlon, shooting, you know, true

81
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:00.800
sport or ski jumping.

82
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:06.319
Yeah, because in the United States, we typically gravitate towards

83
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:09.600
the sports that are provided within the community at a

84
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:14.279
young age and dort in the school system, the United

85
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:18.480
States isn't real big on supplying rifles to athletes, even

86
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:20.120
in the spirit of competition.

87
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:26.879
Well, especially for US in Texas. I mean I still

88
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.879
marvel when I see when I'm watching a hockey game

89
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:35.120
and I see, oh, from Plano, Texas, or you know

90
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:37.040
this year in the Olympics, one of the top figure

91
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:41.199
skaters Plano, Texas. Yeah, we had like two ice rinks

92
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:45.240
around when we were growing up at the Galleria and

93
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:47.879
used we want at the Plaza of the Americas. But

94
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:51.759
we're we're not a cold weather but again we didn't.

95
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:56.279
We got the Dallas Stars in ninety three. I think, yeah, uh,

96
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:00.800
we're not a cold the cold weather sport client. So

97
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.879
the fact that we have any people in these yeah,

98
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:05.399
I still marvel at.

99
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:07.839
I'm with you. I mean, that's why you're never surprised

100
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:13.600
when you see US Olympic skiing champions from Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming,

101
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:18.000
the places you would expect. Well, if one comes from

102
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.120
you know, Fort Lauderdale, I'm going to be stunned.

103
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:22.839
One of the most common things you see for the

104
00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:25.360
United States winter athletes, A lot of them, you'll see

105
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.680
they're from Lake Placid. Why they still have the Olympic

106
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:32.639
facilities from forty five years ago that they can train at.

107
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:38.839
Yeah, there's there's a combination of things that will produce

108
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:45.800
world class athletes, one of the first of them being money.

109
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:50.120
If you invest in a certain community, especially towards a

110
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:54.360
certain sport, then you're going to get some world class

111
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:58.279
athletes out of it, just by sheer statistics, just sheer bodies. Right,

112
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:00.759
that's what's happened, you know with us, you know, being

113
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:04.480
you know, Dallas based. Like you said, when the Minnesota

114
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:09.000
north Stars moved to Dallas, Texas barely knew I mean

115
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.920
Texas knew what hockey was. It was basically football on

116
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:13.879
ice to us, and we're like, we like it on grass.

117
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.000
Were good, but they invested so much money in the community.

118
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:21.680
Now you have legitimate hockey players that grew up with

119
00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:25.360
these Doctor Pepper Stars centers in their communities, and now

120
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:28.759
you've got, you know, excellent hockey players out of the

121
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.560
state of Texas, out of the DFW area. Same thing

122
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.440
with Lake Placid, all these Winter Olympians coming out of

123
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:38.080
Lake Placid, New York because they got the stuff there.

124
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:41.000
Money was invested in it, and people grew into it

125
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:44.559
and around it. It's like if you were to go

126
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:49.759
in and heavily invest baseball into one particular community, you're

127
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:52.240
gonna get some big time baseball players out of it.

128
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.320
So it really it starts with money, and then you

129
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.799
build up a little infrastructure for you know, the kids

130
00:08:57.799 --> 00:08:59.840
to do the sports and things, and then you're gonna

131
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:03.919
get some. But yeah, it's very rare have the winter

132
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:09.600
sport of any kind in Texas. And you're right, like,

133
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:12.440
growing up, you had we had like two ice rinks

134
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:15.039
and they're both inside of course, and you had the

135
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:18.080
good one was at the Gallery of Dallas, and then

136
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.480
wherever the other one was that was the one that

137
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:25.039
was like the B team rink, that was where that's

138
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:27.399
where you went if you couldn't really go to the

139
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:30.399
Galleria because that rink is the one that had like

140
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:32.879
the chips in it and stuff. Like the Zamboni was

141
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:37.039
from the forties, being driven by a guy named Zamboni,

142
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:39.960
and it didn't do anything other than just kind of

143
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.879
put more chips in the ice. It was basically a

144
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:50.759
minefield for physical trauma and bone breaks and scars well.

145
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:55.200
And then, in true Texas form, we can't do anything

146
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:57.480
half assed, so then they go the opposite direction. Then

147
00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:00.559
they are opening up Dallas Star Centers everywhere. They put

148
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:01.399
one in Duncanville.

149
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:09.679
Yeah, m m, I think it closed. Gee, I wonder why.

150
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:13.960
I believe if memory search, that's where Mark Davis used

151
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:15.480
to to do his curling.

152
00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:22.279
Look, you just got to be able to sometimes call

153
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.720
things for what they are and be able to notice

154
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:29.919
certain things as they are, Like, don't invest a bunch

155
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:33.039
of money in an area that is not going to

156
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:40.519
necessarily embrace that thing. Right. Winter sports in the African

157
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:44.000
American community are not huge, but if you invest a

158
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:46.240
bunch of money into it, you might get some. It

159
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:51.559
didn't work for that Stars Center at Redbird, but they tried,

160
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:58.480
you know. So I love that the athletes are having fun.

161
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.279
I love that they're enjoying them. So the athletes I

162
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:04.000
feel the most sorry for are the ones whose events

163
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:07.879
don't happen till later in the Olympics. So I don't

164
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:14.559
think they partake in the flings that the Olympics offers,

165
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:19.120
because you're not supposed to do that before competition. Which,

166
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:21.159
going back to what you said, Trey, I mean, most

167
00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:24.200
of these athletes are gen z and based on this

168
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:27.559
study I just saw I think a good chunk of

169
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:30.600
them aren't screwing anyway, because, according to a new study,

170
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:36.720
gen Z is skipping sex to do this instead. Trey,

171
00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:41.759
as a fifty one year old man, what is something

172
00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:45.279
that might tempt you over sex?

173
00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:53.639
I'm fifty one though. That's not fair.

174
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:55.960
No, it is fair. There's a reason I'm framing it

175
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.720
this way. So answer the question honestly, as a fifty

176
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.039
one year old man, is there something that you would

177
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:06.679
rather do than sex? Something some sleep?

178
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:07.720
Sleep would be.

179
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:16.480
Do I have this thing? Nope, I don't hang on.

180
00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:21.840
Huh.

181
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:32.559
Gen Z is choosing sleep over sex at a surprising rate. Yeah,

182
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:38.279
so they're not drinking, they're not having sex either, So

183
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:42.159
what is today's youth actually doing? According to a new

184
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:46.919
survey of two thousand, sixty seven percent of gen zs

185
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:50.159
would choose a good night's sleep over a romp in

186
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:53.159
the sheets. That's why I asked you, Treys, a fifty

187
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:55.480
one year old man, what's something that might tempt you

188
00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:57.039
over sex?

189
00:12:57.320 --> 00:12:58.000
Sleep? Is it?

190
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.559
So it's very troubling that gen Z is acting like

191
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:04.759
a bunch of fifty somethings when they're not even old

192
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:06.639
enough to have been that tired yet.

193
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:11.840
They're a strange bunch. They really really are. I mean,

194
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:20.200
because let's see, older gen Z are thirty now from

195
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:20.759
I mean.

196
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:25.399
Yeah, I think it's ninety seven to twenty ten, I

197
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:27.840
believe is the range for gen Z.

198
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.799
So they're right in there in late twenties at this point,

199
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:36.279
which I'm a bad example because I didn't know when

200
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:39.559
to stop. But in your late twenties you should be

201
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:43.919
just going balls out in every witch direction.

202
00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:48.759
Literally, yeah, because when we were in our twenties, that's

203
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:53.000
when we absolutely chose sex over sleep. That's what you're

204
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:57.759
supposed to do in your twenties, maybe into your thirties,

205
00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:00.960
depending on your issues maybe whatever. All I'm saying is

206
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:07.679
you are supposed to biologically, just hormonally, you need to

207
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:12.120
go through the phase of choosing things oversleep, like sex.

208
00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:16.200
So when you get to be older, you can appreciate

209
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.519
the fact that, you know what, not tonight hunting, I'm

210
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:21.000
actually pretty tired. I just want to go to sleep,

211
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:25.240
And her response will be, oh, thank goodness, me too.

212
00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:32.519
It is very troubling to me to have a generation

213
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:36.159
of twenty somethings that are acting like fifty somethings. What's

214
00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:40.679
wrong you haven't done enough to be this tired.

215
00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:47.039
Yeah. The only other answer I thought when you asked

216
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:49.600
that question if for gen Z would be gaming.

217
00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:56.360
Yeah. Further shocking frisky generations before them, This survey also

218
00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:00.039
revealed sixty four percent of youngsters would rather prioritize keeping

219
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.279
a stable job, fifty nine percent are focused on their

220
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:08.279
personal success, half are shifting their attention to maintaining healthy friendships,

221
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:13.200
and forty six percent prefer going to some solo time.

222
00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:21.039
That's just so freaking weird to me.

223
00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:28.320
I I got no answers for you on on the

224
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:32.840
on that group there, they will befuddle me until the

225
00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:33.720
day I leave this.

226
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:40.879
Earth, and then they'll skibbity on your grave. Uh. Now

227
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:44.039
back to the article here, they say, before older folks

228
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:47.879
judge this bacheful group, gen Z, it's important to consider

229
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.120
that gen Z is the generation facing the conservative backlash

230
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:58.440
after liberatory movements, the pill introduction, normalization of soft drugs,

231
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:01.360
and the Summer of Love are a objectively too far

232
00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:05.639
away from their daily life. That's according to Julia Alexinko,

233
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:10.720
popular culture and media analyst, they're nudge to spend their

234
00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:14.600
time on platforms and applications instead of physical places. As

235
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:18.440
a result, gen Z focuses more on what's easily within reach,

236
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:21.039
and that's Netflix and self care.

237
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:28.519
That's it. I totally disagree with that because, especially for

238
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:33.360
gen X, because as we were coming of age, we

239
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:35.840
grew up in a time where literally we were taught

240
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:40.480
sex could kill you because at that time, AIDS was

241
00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:43.600
brand new. HIV and AIDS were brand new, and there

242
00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:49.240
was no cure. It was fatal and that didn't stop us.

243
00:16:49.600 --> 00:17:01.039
Hell No. Gen X also known as the go get

244
00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:01.759
Them Generation.

247
00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:19.599
Let's get Daniel Cook from Cookdfwroofing and Restoration into the

248
00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:22.319
Treehouse eight three to three. Cook DFW is the phone

249
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:25.640
number you will need to schedule your free roof inspection

250
00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:32.559
and property review. Daniel. I'm certain you've seen those inflatable barriers,

251
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:36.920
the bubbles that people can activate to protect their vehicles

252
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:40.200
during a hailstorm. Does that exist for a house yet.

253
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:45.200
It's been talked about trying to see how they can

254
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.039
make those, but I don't know if anything's ever going

255
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:48.799
to be made like that.

256
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:53.839
It would, but you know, even those.

257
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:56.079
Ones for the cars, if the hill is large enough

258
00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:58.839
it can damage the car still. Actor those are great

259
00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:01.039
for the smaller hell of events that you just don't

260
00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:05.720
want those nuisance beings on your car, the pocket chains events,

261
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:09.200
the large p size hell you know, because it can

262
00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:12.000
still dent your car. You know, small hills still damaging.

263
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:14.160
I know there's a misconception out of there. We just

264
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:16.240
had some small hell. We didn't get any damage. You

265
00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:20.279
probably did, you know, it just wasn't like things that

266
00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:23.160
you noticeablely can see after a large hell event like

267
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:24.960
the one that just went through here in Collin County,

268
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:28.160
North Colin last September. Well, they knew they had damage

269
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:30.960
because they had windows blown out, garage doors had hits

270
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:33.759
on them, looked like someone had shot them. You know,

271
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:37.000
everybody's windows are broken out in their cars, so then

272
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:40.680
they know they had a large enough event. But as

273
00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:43.200
far as your total home protection, there's not going to

274
00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:45.920
be any kind of force filled or large balloon that

275
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:47.720
you probably are going to be able to put around

276
00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:49.559
your home. So you just need to make sure that

277
00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:53.039
you hunker down and you get that checked out as

278
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:55.079
soon as possible to make sure you don't have substantial

279
00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:57.920
leaks that are going to be forming really soon after

280
00:18:57.960 --> 00:18:59.000
that storm.

281
00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:00.799
And he brings up a great point, and that is

282
00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:03.960
it doesn't matter the size of the hail that falls

283
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:06.920
during the storm, because after the fact, you need to

284
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:10.799
have that roof inspected to see to make sure that

285
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:13.440
there isn't any damage, because even if it's a small

286
00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:16.480
piece of damage, that can grow over time and turn

287
00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:20.599
into a massive problem even from a small hail event.

288
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:23.160
So give Daniel and his team a call after severe

289
00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:27.079

297
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:04.160
Back inside the Treehouse. I'm Dan, he's Trey. We were

298
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:09.240
just discussing the Olympic ffest at such a rate that

299
00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:12.000
the ten thousand free condoms that were doled out at

300
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:15.000
the beginning of the Olympics in the Olympic village have

301
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:22.640
already run out. I have a solution, okay, and this

302
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.079
is more of an opportunity. What you need here is

303
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:32.000
a company like say Trojan to come in pardon the punt,

304
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:39.119
an air drop just thousands of condoms directly over the

305
00:20:39.160 --> 00:20:44.039
Olympic village. One, it will solve the problem of a

306
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:48.319
lack of free prophylactics in the Olympic village. And two

307
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:53.640
you get some really awesome free pr and marketing Trojan

308
00:20:53.880 --> 00:21:00.480
to save the day at the Olympic village raining rubbers.

309
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:04.000
Yeah, that's you're not wrong.

310
00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:04.400
I mean.

311
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:08.359
Or just build a big Trojan horse and just split

312
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.400
it open and just have condoms just spill out.

313
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:14.480
You know what, that's actually better. There's two ways to

314
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:17.000
do this. You take an actual Trojan horse and you

315
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:20.039
just shove it right into the middle of the Olympic

316
00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:22.799
Village and you let them come up and just and

317
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:24.839
then they just flow out of it like a big

318
00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:30.079
sexy pinata. Or you combine that with my flyover idea

319
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:34.160
and you have the Trojan horse being flown over and

320
00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:42.839
then the Trojan horse releases the condoms below. Call us

321
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:48.240
Trojan we have ideas. Or if maximum effort. You know,

322
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:55.960
once a pair of stupid idea makers somewhere in a corner,

323
00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:56.799
we got you.

324
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:03.000
Yeah, I don't know, big opportunity. Yeah, I don't know

325
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:08.160
how they thought. Uh, ten thousand condoms. I mean that's

326
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:11.079
that's like three apiece. Like, yeah, you know they're going

327
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:12.640
to do more than that. I know.

328
00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:15.039
And when I've seen this story in a couple of places,

329
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:17.839
and people in the comments are saying they're not actually

330
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:20.799
having that much sex. Some of them aren't even having

331
00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:23.519
sex yet because their event hasn't happened. They're just stashing

332
00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:26.240
them for later. Some people are some of the athletes

333
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:30.440
are just keeping them as keepsakes. It's like, okay, no,

334
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:34.599
they aren't medals. I mean I don't. I don't think

335
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:37.359
you would necessarily, as an Olympic athlete go back home

336
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:41.000
and show everyone the condom that you didn't use at

337
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:44.200
the Olympics. I think that's weird to me as a

338
00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:45.680
trinket to take home.

339
00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:50.880
Unless they're wrapped in some like special commemorative Olympic you know,

340
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:55.599
five cockrings.

341
00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:59.160
Yeah, unless here's what you do. If you want to

342
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:02.119
take those home, make sure they're the open ones, and

343
00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:04.519
then that way you can make a necklace out of him,

344
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:06.359
kind of like Michael Phelps did with all of his

345
00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:09.559
actual medals. You can go around back home and say, well,

346
00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:14.039
I didn't meddle in any you know, competitions, but I

347
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:16.480
I meddled in the Olympic village. And you have all

348
00:23:16.519 --> 00:23:19.680
your used wrappers open. Then I could see that being

349
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:20.799
some sort of a keepsake.

350
00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:26.759
Yeah, and I'm sure all of that is true. I'm

351
00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:30.160
sure they do some stuff them in their pockets and

352
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:36.799
some do whatever. But still we've known for years there's

353
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:41.279
a lot of effing going on. You needed more than that.

354
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:46.079
Yeah, My favorite was a couple of years ago. See

355
00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:48.279
it wasn't the Paris Games. I feel like it was

356
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:53.039
one before that where they had the beds that were

357
00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:58.960
so shoddy they hoped it would discourage rampant sex in

358
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:04.079
the Olympic village. It was like cardboard style twin size

359
00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:06.079
mattresses in the Olympic village.

360
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:10.640
What of the times the London Games was it? Maybe?

361
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:13.400
Whatever the case is, I just thought that that was

362
00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:17.799
hysterical them thinking that a cardboard twin mattress was somehow

363
00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:22.680
going to discourage twenty something hot sexy athletes from getting

364
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:23.240
it on.

365
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:25.920
Hot flexible athlete.

366
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:30.240
Oh my god, the flexibility. They don't need that bed, bitch, please,

367
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:33.720
that's what the balcony is for. The balcony, the elevator,

368
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:35.720
the stairwell, the sloops.

369
00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:37.519
They just need a monkey bar.

370
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:43.960
You want to see something interesting, you go to the

371
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:49.400
gymnastics place after hours. Yeah, I would love to see

372
00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:52.599
I would love to see the security cameras around twelve

373
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:55.680
thirty in the morning where they do the gymnastics events.

374
00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:00.200
Yeah, just put a playyard in the middle of the

375
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.240
Olympic village and just see see what they can do

376
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:04.039
with a swing set.

377
00:25:05.319 --> 00:25:07.000
And I want you to think about that the next

378
00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:09.640
time you're watching some of these events on TV, because

379
00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:12.599
this is what you're seeing during daylight. Imagine what that's

380
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:14.640
going to look like in twelve hours when the cameras

381
00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:17.359
and the people aren't there, but the athletes are, and

382
00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:19.160
that becomes a sexual playground.

383
00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:28.880
Yeah, they'll put on a show. I mean, brawsers.

384
00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:32.680
Here's an idea, Olympics after dark.

385
00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:37.640
Wow bang games.

386
00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:55.039
Six WHOA. President Trump on Thursday pardoned five former professional

387
00:25:55.079 --> 00:26:00.559
football players, one posthumously or various crimes ranging from to

388
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:07.400
drug trafficking, including our very own former Dallas Cowboys great

389
00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:11.359
Nate Newton. I don't know how I missed this over

390
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:13.279
the last couple of days, but I just saw this

391
00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:16.920
story this morning. The pardons were announced by White House.

392
00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:21.440
Pardons are Alice Marie Smith. Johnson also on other news

393
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:27.400
there's a White House pardons are. Imagine that on your

394
00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:30.440
business card and then eventually on your resume and your

395
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:35.519
CV on Linkedins. Well, I was a pardonsar anyway. Four

396
00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:39.759
other ex NFL players were granted clemency along with Nate Newton,

397
00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:45.160
including Joe Cleco, Jamal Lewis, Travis Henry, and the late

398
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:51.440
Billy Cannon. Johnson. The pardons are said, as football reminds us,

399
00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:55.359
excellence is built on grit, grace, and the courage to

400
00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:58.599
rise again. So is our nation. That's what she wrote

401
00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:01.519
on social media site as she thinked President Trump for

402
00:27:01.559 --> 00:27:05.400
his continued commitment to second chances. The White House did

403
00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:08.720
not return her request for comment on why Trump and

404
00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:12.160
Avid sports fan pardoned the players, Johnson said. Dallas Cowboys

405
00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:15.319
owner Jerry Jones personally shared the news with Nate Newton,

406
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:19.359
who won three Super Bowls with the team. Do you

407
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:23.799
remember the crimes? Nate Newton committed that. He was then

408
00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:26.000
pardoned for just a couple of days ago.

409
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:34.119
I remember he was caught transporting large amounts of weed.

410
00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:37.359
I believe he was caught in Louisiana.

411
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:42.559
Across state lines. Huh Nate Newton pleaded guilty and was

412
00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:45.640
sentenced to thirty months on a federal drug trafficking charge

413
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:48.920
after authorities discovered in two thousand and one he had

414
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:51.559
ten thousand dollars in his pickup, as well as one

415
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:54.920
hundred and seventy five pounds of marijuana in an accompanying

416
00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:58.440
car driven by another man. Newton was a two time

417
00:27:58.519 --> 00:28:02.880
All Pro player and six time Pro bowllet. I feel

418
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:07.480
like there was a second arrest. I can't remember if

419
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:09.599
that's right or not. Does that seem familiar to you,

420
00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:12.119
tre or was it just the one?

421
00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:15.960
I actually want to say that was the second arrest.

422
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:19.599
I do feel like you're correct. There was another arrest,

423
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:22.039
but it was for a much smaller amount.

424
00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:24.880
Yeah, And I guess he had kind of skated on

425
00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:27.680
it a little bit, so that I guess gave him

426
00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:31.160
the confidence to go bigger, and when he went bigger,

427
00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:32.920
they sent him packing.

428
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:41.480
I will never forget shaking that man's hands because I

429
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:47.000
do not have small hands, and I have never shook

430
00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:51.200
hands with somebody that just made me feel like I

431
00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:53.839
had many hands. I mean it was.

432
00:28:54.759 --> 00:28:54.920
Yeah.

433
00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:57.519
They always talk about football players have like they really

434
00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:01.519
good ones. Hand size as a thing in the combine

435
00:29:01.599 --> 00:29:07.799
everything else, Jesus, I mean it just it his hand

436
00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:08.720
swallowed mine.

437
00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:11.720
Did it make you feel like a pretty, pretty little girl?

438
00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:18.880
Like you'll never feel more dainty in your life than

439
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:23.079
when you shake an honest to god huge professional football

440
00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:29.160
or basketball player's hands. And maybe with the exception of

441
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:31.119
like a Spudweb or a Muggsy Bogues.

442
00:29:31.279 --> 00:29:35.920
Yeah, Eigman had huge hands like other people have met.

443
00:29:35.920 --> 00:29:38.759
But his just shocking m.

444
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:44.559
Pause, just big, mighty pause.

445
00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:45.079
Yeah.

446
00:29:46.680 --> 00:29:49.680
The other the other NFL players former NFL players that

447
00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:52.640
were pardoned at the end of last week. Joe Cleco,

448
00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:54.920
former star for the New York Jets. He pleaded guilty

449
00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:57.240
to perjury after lying to a federal grand jury that

450
00:29:57.279 --> 00:30:02.279
was investigating insurance fraud. He was inducted in the Pro

451
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:06.759
Football Hall of Fame in twenty three. Then there's Jamal Lewis,

452
00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:09.519
formerly of the Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns. He

453
00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:11.200
had pleaded guilty in a drug case in which he

454
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:12.480
used his cell phone to try to set up a

455
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:14.720
drug deal not long after he was the top pick

456
00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:19.079
in the two thousand NFL draft. And then Travis Henry,

457
00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:22.759
who played for the Denver Broncos, pleaded guilty along with

458
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:26.480
other teams, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to traffic cocaine for

459
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:29.839
financing a drug ring that moved the drug between Colorado

460
00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:33.279
and Montana, running back for three teams and a one

461
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:36.799
time pro bowler. And then Cannon, who played with the Oilers,

462
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:40.240
Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs, admitted to counterfeiting in

463
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:42.599
the mid eighties after a series of bad investments and

464
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:47.039
debts left him broke. It's a pretty good range of

465
00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:48.960
crimes there that they all get to go. All right,

466
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:51.240
we're all pardon now. Although for the one guy was

467
00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:56.319
after he died, so that sucks for him.

468
00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:58.119
Yeah, I think if he played for the Oilers, he's

469
00:30:58.400 --> 00:31:01.079
good chance he's dead.

470
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:07.640
Yeah. I can't help but notice though, a little bit

471
00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:10.720
of the just a little bit, just a little bit

472
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:16.200
of the double standard here, because if you're a if

473
00:31:16.279 --> 00:31:18.960
you are a professional athlete in the United States and

474
00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:21.799
you get caught smuggling one hundred and seventy five pounds

475
00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:25.480
of marijuana across state lines, you might get pardoned by

476
00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:31.039
the president. However, if you are a fisherman in Venezuela

477
00:31:31.119 --> 00:31:34.079
on a boat that might be carrying a couple million

478
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:37.720
dollars worth of cocaine, you might end up with a

479
00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:40.680
missile in your pants.

480
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:43.799
That is the fork in the road.

481
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:54.160
I mean, it's just Nate Newton should just be really

482
00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:57.440
happy that when he was transporting drugs across state lines

483
00:31:57.480 --> 00:32:00.119
if there wasn't the drone technology that we have today,

484
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:03.000
otherwise you might have caught a hell fire somewhere near Rustin.

485
00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:06.079
But yeah, the other on the flip side of that

486
00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:11.920
is there are probably ten thousand people incarcerated for lesser

487
00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:14.720
crimes than carrying one hundred and seventy five pounds of

488
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:18.160
weed that are still in prison, and just because they

489
00:32:18.200 --> 00:32:23.359
did not play professional football, you know, and that's a

490
00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:25.720
far more serious time. But you know, the failure of

491
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:30.160
the war on drugs over time, and you know, I

492
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:33.680
understand if you were and a lot of it goes

493
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:36.960
to i mean, even twenty five years ago, how we

494
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:40.000
especially how we look at weed now versus twenty five

495
00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:45.039
years ago is so drastically different. Yeah, you know, coke

496
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:49.720
meth A lot of things I understand the more are

497
00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:51.720
far more grievous that weed.

498
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:57.519
I also think you had mentioned hand size right. Maybe

499
00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:00.880
hand size is playing a factor here a little bit,

500
00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:05.680
because I mean, like you said, Nate Newton's hands are massive,

501
00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:08.839
So him carrying in one hundred and seventy five pounds

502
00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:13.400
a weed across state lines isn't maybe as big of

503
00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:17.599
a deal as it would be to me because maybe

504
00:33:17.599 --> 00:33:19.359
he's looking at it as well. I'm just taking all

505
00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:20.480
that could fit in my hand.

506
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:24.519
It's just taking all he could smoke.

507
00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:27.960
This is for personal useless.

treehouse on air. Former President Barack Obama is having to

520
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:32.159
walk back some comments that he made during a recent podcast.

521
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:41.920
Come on, Oh you stupid? I hate I hate the

522
00:34:41.960 --> 00:34:44.000
auto mute. Can I just point that out? I hate

523
00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:45.880
auto mute, and if I want to listen to it,

524
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:47.920
don't auto mut it. You got damn phone.

525
00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:50.159
Are aliens real?

526
00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:54.360
Uh? They're real, but I haven't seen them, and and

527
00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:59.559
they're not being kept in uh fifty one. Uh, there's

528
00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:05.519
no one to ground facility unless there's this enormous conspiracy

529
00:35:06.039 --> 00:35:08.440
and they hit it from the President of the United.

530
00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:11.960
States, What was the first question you wanted answered when

531
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:12.840
you became president?

532
00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:16.639
Where are the aliens?

533
00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:19.239
Are aliens real?

534
00:35:19.679 --> 00:35:21.679
So this is the part that he's having to walk back.

535
00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:26.159
Now, they're real, but I haven't seen.

536
00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:30.119
So everyone focused on the fact that he said they're real,

537
00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:32.760
and now because of that he's having to walk it back.

538
00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:37.880
I saw this just a short while ago. Former President

539
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:40.840
Barack Obama said he did not see evidence that aliens

540
00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:43.960
have made contact with us, after sending social media a

541
00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:47.559
buzz by saying aliens were real on a podcast over

542
00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:51.719
the weekend, during a lightning round of questions with podcast

543
00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:55.119
hosts Brian Tyler Cohen. Obama was asked are aliens real?

544
00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:57.159
He says, they're realized. I just played for you here.

545
00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:02.679
On Sunday, the former president released a statement on Instagram

546
00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:05.840
clarifying what he meant. I was trying to stick with

547
00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:08.519
the spirit of the speed round, but since it's gotten attention,

548
00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:12.039
let me clarify. Statistically, the universe is so vast that

549
00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:14.199
the odds are good there's life out there, but the

550
00:36:14.239 --> 00:36:17.760
distances between solar systems are so great that the chances

551
00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:20.599
we've been visited by aliens is low. And I saw

552
00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:24.320
no evidence during my presidency that extra terrestrials have made

553
00:36:24.519 --> 00:36:31.719
contact with us. Really, with an exclamation point, I don't

554
00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:32.079
buy it.

555
00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:46.159
I mean, we'll go on the assumption. I mean I

556
00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:51.760
I don't think we're the only people in the universe,

557
00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:54.519
I mean the whole I think it's called the Fermi

558
00:36:54.559 --> 00:36:58.079
paradox of you know what, if we're the only planet

559
00:36:58.079 --> 00:37:03.840
that has intelligent, just life. I don't think it's possible.

560
00:37:03.840 --> 00:37:08.480
If you considered just the the infinite nature of the universe,

561
00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:10.440
why would we be the only people or you know,

562
00:37:10.719 --> 00:37:14.039
only intelligent life? And I think you know, especially the

563
00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:17.639
President of the United States knows if he were to say, oh, yeah,

564
00:37:17.679 --> 00:37:20.800
they're real, you're one of the biggest things is is

565
00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:30.519
it would cause mass pandemonium. Uh, And so I I

566
00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:33.000
he's damned if you do. Damned if you do, damned

567
00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:33.400
if you don't.

568
00:37:33.400 --> 00:37:37.000
On that question, that is very true. And I am

569
00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:45.440
not a conspiracy theorist typically, However, when it comes to aliens,

570
00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:49.119
I'm not saying I believe there is a conspiracy about

571
00:37:49.159 --> 00:37:53.320
alien cover up, but it wouldn't surprise me if one

572
00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:56.239
was to come about, Like if we all of a

573
00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:59.000
sudden discovered one day that there's been this decades long

574
00:37:59.039 --> 00:38:03.159
conspiracy about hiding the existence of aliens from the general

575
00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:06.559
masses of people, that would not surprise me in the least.

576
00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:10.840
And it certainly wouldn't surprise me if not only it existed,

577
00:38:11.760 --> 00:38:14.840
but it did in fact hide it from heads of state,

578
00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:18.440
Like it would basically just be a top secret military thing,

579
00:38:18.760 --> 00:38:22.360
and only certain people that hit a certain rank or

580
00:38:22.599 --> 00:38:27.159
a certain rank, or a certain classification or classified status

581
00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:32.280
will ever know about it, because you cannot trust who

582
00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:35.440
gets voted in to keep their mouth shut. It's not

583
00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:37.599
like as soon as you take office you get to

584
00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:41.280
find out all these cool secrets. I think something of

585
00:38:41.320 --> 00:38:44.039
that scale. It would make sense to me that they

586
00:38:44.079 --> 00:38:47.480
would not tell an elected official, even if it's the

587
00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:50.679
top one, the truth about it, because you don't know

588
00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:52.920
who you're gonna get. You might get a loose cannon

589
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:55.039
in there. That's like I'm going to kill everybody and

590
00:38:55.079 --> 00:38:56.159
then I got their receipts.

591
00:38:57.400 --> 00:39:04.320
I don't think. I think there are some conspiracy theories. Yeah,

592
00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:06.880
I think JFK is probably for me, the one the

593
00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:09.840
conspiracy theory. I'll go, Yeah, there very well could have

594
00:39:09.880 --> 00:39:13.960
been foul play involved, but that was a different time.

595
00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:19.079
I don't believe in anyone's ability to keep a secret anymore.

596
00:39:20.320 --> 00:39:22.639
Like when you talk about conspiracy theories in this day

597
00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:25.280
and age, My my number one thing is no one

598
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:28.159
can keep a secret. Yeah, there's gonna be someone's gonna,

599
00:39:28.199 --> 00:39:30.039
you know, a weak link that's gonna go running to

600
00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:31.119
TMZ or whoever.

601
00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:35.440
Yeah, someone in search of their fifteen minutes of fame

602
00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:39.039
for being the whistle blower on the JFK assassination, or

603
00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:42.480
the whistleblower on the existence of aliens or something along

604
00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:43.199
those lines.

605
00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:49.559
Like I and I do I have begun to believe that.

606
00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:53.400
I don't think we're the first human civilization on Earth.

607
00:39:54.039 --> 00:39:57.280
I think there have been there's a civilization before us.

608
00:39:57.599 --> 00:40:00.840
I think that's how the Optians learn how to do

609
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:03.360
the pyramids. I think there was a knowledge that was

610
00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:10.360
passed on because especially the pyramids make no sense on

611
00:40:10.519 --> 00:40:13.519
how if you say they built something like that or

612
00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:14.920
they bagically with no power source?

613
00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:15.719
Uh?

614
00:40:17.760 --> 00:40:21.000
And if they were to announce tomorrow there was a secret,

615
00:40:21.239 --> 00:40:28.039
you know, secret some kind of structures beneath Antarctica or whatever,

616
00:40:28.119 --> 00:40:30.079
and you know, beneath the pyramids, not going to surprise

617
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:34.679
me one bit. But again, you are going to have

618
00:40:34.880 --> 00:40:38.159
chaos if you ever acknowledged that, because you are going

619
00:40:38.199 --> 00:40:41.800
to question people's belief in God and the very nature

620
00:40:41.880 --> 00:40:45.480
of you know, they say, everything with humans is comes

621
00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:47.639
down to where do where do we come from? Why

622
00:40:47.639 --> 00:40:48.159
are we here?

623
00:40:48.519 --> 00:40:53.000
Yeah? On the flip side, I do think that if

624
00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:56.920
there is an alien conspiracy and there was a whistleblower

625
00:40:57.079 --> 00:41:02.480
and someone came forward with irrefutable evidence it, I think

626
00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:06.039
we'd all be so stuck in our phones and our

627
00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:10.719
own self absorption that yeah, it would make the news,

628
00:41:11.320 --> 00:41:13.800
But I don't know if it would necessarily lead to

629
00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:17.440
an existential crisis among everyone on the planet. It would

630
00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:20.719
for some of us, but for others, they're still gonna

631
00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:23.320
be looking at you know, I still got these athletic

632
00:41:23.360 --> 00:41:26.280
greens I gotta sell. I still have this thing I

633
00:41:26.280 --> 00:41:29.559
gotta do at work or I lose my job. I

634
00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:31.519
kind of think that you could come out with it

635
00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:33.559
now and enough of the planet would just be like,

636
00:41:33.880 --> 00:41:35.400
all right, whatever, I.

637
00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:38.639
Mean, until until the saucers are over the cities getting

638
00:41:38.639 --> 00:41:41.519
ready to blast them with some kind of death ray.

639
00:41:41.639 --> 00:41:44.840
You're probably right, that's not people are gonna go. It's

640
00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:47.079
Ai exactly.

641
00:41:49.800 --> 00:41:51.920
There's always gonna be that first person in line in

642
00:41:51.960 --> 00:41:56.679
the comment section. That's Ai. Yeah, and that'll be the

643
00:41:56.679 --> 00:41:58.920
first person to get plasted by the little agreement from

644
00:41:58.920 --> 00:42:04.239
