Ghosted After 7 Months?! + Denver Airport Chaos & Young Guns 3 | Funny News Podcast

0:00 Want more Treehouse, check out our YouTube exclusive shows at YouTube dot com slash at Treehouse on air. It is time to believe your warriors outside and laugh with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Daniel Mallley along with Trey Trindholm coming up inside the Treehouse today. The Pope versus customer service a Hawaii beat down for the ages. But today inside the Treehouse, we have to actually start with some very sad news. Been a lot of sad news coming out of the Treehouse lately. I wish that was not the case, but you know, sometimes life has a way of getting in the way. So just a handful of days ago, our dear Trey Trenholm here posted on social media. When people talk about getting ghosted, I assumed it was after a couple of dates. Anyone had it happened to them after six months asking for a friend? Trey, were you in fact asking for a friend?

1:20 I mean, I am my best friend especially now. Yeah, oh. Buddy, oh buddy, I'm I am legitimately sorry. Yeah, it's uh, it's been a doozy. I did not see this one coming. I, honest to god, thought Brandy was my human, uh my person. I thought that was Uh.

2:05 She made me actually not believe I would not have to kill myself at seventy five because I would have someone to grow old with. And we never had a fight, not one time. Hey there's a silver lion. I mean, so if if you end up in a relationship in the future and and or on a on a date and that person asks you, oh, so, you know, did you have any like big fight in that last relationship anything? No, not a single one. It's not really the point of the story, Daniel. But okay, I'm I'm trying to find.

2:48 A positive angle. I'm it's coming back a while. I'm gonna dig. Yeah, no, it's gonna it's gonna get weird in spots. But we never even had a disagreement. Really, I I can't even And we spent a lot. That was since the ice storm in January. I would say we spent at least five nights a week together. Wow. And when I say spent, I mean like she's spent the night over here. And let me just so anyone's thinking I offered to go to her place. She did not. She liked coming over here, so this wasn't a deal. If she was having to come over here, because I refused or anything like that, and I don't.

3:31 We seldom even if she for some reason she wasn't going to spend the night we sell them when a day without seeing one another. And I I loved hanging out with her. We watched hockey and the Food Network, and I loved cooking for I watched her dog, you know, especially, it was nice to have around since Daisy died and we were everything start, we were planning, you know, the plan was we were going to move in together, and so on a couple of weeks ago, on a Saturday, we were sitting around, we were about to watch the Stars playoff game one of them, and I said, hey, I'd sent her a link to an apartment, say hey, do you want to go look at places tomorrow? And she just she goes, I don't want to move in together.

4:26 She's like, I don't. Yeah, I forgot how she put it, and she's like, I don't want to destruct our relationship, and I'm with thinking about it and everything else. I'm like, okay, but it really it took me. I mean it blindsided me, like I've already given my notice on my place. Things were set in motion and the rest of the day I was quiet. She ended up going home that night. I'm sure part of it was because I had gotten very quiet, and I won't lie. I was hurt, but I have learned over the years I do not react in you know, out of emotion. That's why I was quiet.

5:14 I didn't want to say anything, didn't want to. And then I sent her a text the next day and I said, hey, sorry, I was quiet yesterday. It really blindsided me that you don't want to move in together. And I said, I think the bigger thing is I feel like that's a sign that you know, you have doubts about the relationship. And I got a text back saying, you know, I don't like you telling me how I feel. You know, maybe I just don't think after seven months it's been enough time for us to move in together. I said, okay, I said, but you know, I said, I think my react. I don't think I I'm reading into your emotion. I said, you didn't tell me how you're feeling. And to me, it's a logical, it's not an illogical step to go okay, if you don't want to move in together, you have questions about our relationship, because I mean we spend all I mean, we spend all our time together. It only would make sense if we were living together. So then she said something and when we initially started talking about moving in together, she said, I want a three bedroom place so we each can have our own room.

6:24 It's cool. We start talking about it, and you know, three bedroom apartments are not all that common, and we looked at some places and I said, yeah, we should go look at it, and said, you know, if it's one of the things I did not want was carpet or as little carpet as possible, especially with pets. You know, it's just and she agreed, and eventually she said, you know what, we could make a two bedroom work. I said, yeah, I said, honestly, my use is for the second bedroom will be in the morning courting, I said, and then you can have it the rest of the day. And so that that was really the last time we talked about the two versus three bedroom. So one of the things the last message she sent me was that I was forcing two bedrooms on her and because I wasn't thinking about her needs, and I clearly I was just disregarding her wants and needs and she was a healthy person now and you know, she says, damaged Brandy might have gone for that, but healthy Brandy is not, which at no time. In fact, it was very much the opposite.

7:39 Had I ever put her needs second, I won't get into details, but I've been with her like she went through some stuff. I've been side by side with her like I'm loving, supporting everything. And to say that, you know, and I said, I said, you're talking to me like I've been some controlling monster, and you'd know that's not the case. But again, that was the last text I got from her, was that, And it was like, I'm gonna need a few days to think about this. Never heard from her again. How long ago was that? So we're recording this on two weeks ago today. And I don't understand how you say you love somebody and you just ghost them. And when I you know, if I had been some monster, if we had had some major blow up, if there was infidelity or something, okay, but nothing. Yeah, And you know, it's just as much as I have over the years, I have talked about and made fun of my proclivity for crazy women and everything else. I also in being honest, especially I was an out I was not a good boyfriend. I was a real pain in the ass. And but I honestly,

9:09 when I got into this relationship, I did everything I could to to be a good boyfriend and be a good partner, and I really think I was. And that one of the biggest things I got from her that I had never gotten before was just gratitude for the little things I did for they weren't you know, taken for granted or anything else. And I it was great. And it's probably the only thing keeping me from losing my ever loving mind and just spiraling off in complete depression. Is I at least I don't. I don't have like I'm not sitting here with remorse going. I wish I'd done that. I wish I'd done this or that or anything else. If there was something that was bothering her, had she just talked to me about it, you know, barring not talking to my stepmother or changing my religion or you know, not having pets again or some shit, I would have been like, Okay, I can do that. Yeah.

10:14 But I was never you know, afforded that opportunity. It literally was just like I'm dead to her, and it's you know, and I have tried, calling, emailing, texting, not never. I I basically, you know, not blowing her up or anything of the sorts. And I mean, I think at the last time I tried to even get in contact with her, it was a week ago, and I at this point I figured she blocked my number or some it's it's the damnedest thing, it really is. I I will never understand how you say you love somebody. And I mean, at one point she even talked about, you know, talking to her therapist about how I was one, you know, between myself and her brother, we were her pillars, and that she was, you know, the best. This was the best she had ever been in her life in this relationship and where she was right now.

11:14 So as it stands, it's been two weeks since you've heard from her. Would you want to hear from her now if she reached out, if she sent you a text or a call. Do you want to hear from her at this point or is it sort of better off the way it is now, like message received and then move on. That's a great question. And I don't know, I mean, I guess. I mean, it's obviously a hypothetical because at this point there's no reason to assume that she'll ever reach out, because it's been two weeks and she hasn't. But it's just something the way my mind works. I try to prepare myself for things in case they happen. So that's just where my brain is, and I'm curious if you're doing the same. It's like, if you thought about that, do you want.

12:03 I mean, obviously I've thought about it, and I mean what I what I love for her to call me up and go, hey, I just freaked out and I'm sorry, can we figure this out? Yeah? Of course I would. I would be lying otherwise because I I have never been in a relationship where I felt comfortable just being me and uh, and just was very content just having her next to me. So yeah, of course, you know if she but barring that, uh, probably not, because I have always held that closure is a myth. Uh. You know, we talk about it, but there's never there's no The only closure really is death. Otherwise you still have questions, and even in death, you still have questions. But yeah, I mean, of course, it's.

13:17 Just real hard to ask them. Yeah, but yeah, I would love obviously if the situation we're right of course I love her. I would still want her to say, hey, I freaked out. I you know, I started overthinking it. I got scared, I freaked out. I'm sorry. Can we figure this out? Yeah? Probably. I think what is part of what is so fascinating about this situation is you and I had similar assumptions about being ghosted, which is like what you posted on social media by saying getting ghosted was assuming it's after a few dates or something. And when you asked, has anyone had it happened to them? After six months, seeing the number of people respond with yes, hands raised, it's happened to me, it happened to a friend. I did it. Well, they actually said that they did it, but the number of responses of people saying yes, it did happen to them was truly alarming. I had no like, we've all heard of ghosting, and many people have been ghosted. I've been ghosted. I was ghosted so far back we didn't have a term for it yet, but it was usually going the early stage, like not after a long committed relationship.

14:44 But seeing all these people go, yes, it happened to me. One person yep, right after being told I was the love of their life. Happened with my son's mother. She was twelve weeks she broke up, never contacted me again, had a hunter down to take her to just you know, for eternity stuff. Another one, yes, another one unfortunately, Yes, another comment on your Instagram post after two years. It happened to me two years Yep, yep, this happened to my best friend. Yep. One after another. And yes, it was fascinating to see that the amount of people that said so I think, And I responded to some people and I read them. And I had another relationship way back in the day where at a certain point she ghosted me. And this was after a year and a half. But it but but it also but I mean it had been a very tumultuous relationship and I was, you know, in the the height of my alcoholism. She I knew was an absolute mess. We were both messes. So looking back, I that that's not

16:15 a surprise, that's the thing. And some of these things this wasn't you know. We had met each other's family, Like I took her to church and Leonard with Jackie. I have not done that ever ever. You haven't even taken me to church in Leonard with Jackie. I I met her family. I've met her you know, her dad, her mom, her brothers, her nephew, niece, a nephew, and sister in law. Again, this was a lot of people. I think if you objectively look back, you go, Okay, this was not a healthy relationship. You can't be that surprised that. That's the one thing where I think this is a little bit different. And I just wonder this was a healthy from every aspect, every metric I can come up with, this was a healthy relationship, and so.

17:19 Up to the part, up up to accept the part when she disappeared. Yeah, which which to me and I think, I think this would I think for any normal person, I think it would. It would drive you insane with the thinking and the analyzing. It's like, what did I do? What happened? What did I do? Why did this person up and leave after all this time together? When in reality, And somebody even commented something along these lines on your post, saying, after this much time, this much of a committed relationship, if they ended by ghosting, that speaks more on them than it does on you. And I think that's accurate because if you're on the receiving end of the ghosting, you could absolutely drive yourself insane trying to figure out why did this happen. That's that gets us back to what you said earlier, which is closure is kind of a myth. You can reach your own conclusions as long as you cut out a lot of the junk before it.

18:25 What I mean is, at the end of the day, that person doesn't want to be in the relationship, and all the reasons for it, of which there could be myriad at the end of the day, if you're just seeking the closure, the closure is just like well, that one of us or both of us don't want to be in the relationship. That's the closure right there. You don't necessarily get the why, and even especially if the why may not even make sense to you, you may disagree with it. The thing that you would, so I don't. I mean, that's the ending of it again. Closure. Closure involves this deal of you know, I understand and and and everything else.

19:15 My my my closure on it is ultimately and like I said, and this is why I'm not or haven't yet gone off the deep end is I'm not sitting here kicking myself going I wish I had done this. I wish I had done that. Are there some things I look, you know, it's like you know, I little things, but all in all, I don't. I'm not looking back at my relationship with Brandy and going I I fucked up because I don't feel like I did. Always can be better. But for the first time in my life, I can honestly say I was. I was, I was there, I was supportive, I loved, I gave, I tried my best.

20:12 That gets me to the to the part that I'm also fascinated by. When someone ghosts somebody after a long term, committed relationship. You mentioned you met each other's family, You met her brothers, you met her all, you met all of her family. What is she telling her family about where you are? Is she just straight up lying? Or when one of the brothers says, hey, whatever happened to that trade guy, like, oh, I ghosted him? Are you honest with people when you tell friends and family that you ghosted somebody? I you know that that is a great question, And I wonder, I mean, she only has one brother and uh a super nice guy.

20:57 Yeah, that's a great I don't know if you're the spook in the relationship, you ghosted somebody. What do you tell everyone else that met this person? Where that person is? I you know, I I guess I guess she has she was. If she's maybe she tells him that, you know, she wasn't ready for the commitment. I don't know. I wish, I wish I knew. But you know, it's just it's a it's just a screw job every which way because you know, least of which is now I have to fucking move because they already you know, I went back.

21:48 I was like, can I take that uh that notice back and stay Nope, or at least your apartment. No, that's insulted injury. That sucks, but you know it's and maybe it's a good thing because now, yeah, this place reminds me of two bitches that aren't in my life. Then you may or may not appreciate this as much as I think you may or may not. Spook leave nicely done. You're in these.

24:31 All right, today is in case you did not know, Tuesday, May twelfth, twenty twenty six. Let's celebrate today with some birthdays. By the way, Trey, thank you for spilling your guts here inside the treehouse. Hey, you're welcome. Hopefully we can make it. Might as well get something out of it. Might as well. Uh, let's see if we can make you feel a little bit better with birthdays. American pie star Jason bit Is, forty eight. I'm always fascinated by like the high school generation define right, the generation defining high school movies. I feel like every generation has at least one. Some have a few. For gen X, I feel like there's a couple because gen X is wide enough as far as an age group to where we can claim fast times at Ridgemont High Right, we can claim that it's like a generation a generational high school film.

25:39 And it it applies to gen X. I think it more applied to the older gen xers than us. Definitely, and yet we also like it's not like with with our specific ages, you being fifty one forty six, that's not our specific high school movie. But we've seen it and we love it, at least I do and appreciate it for what it is. That that would be a I'll throw that into it. For a review Fast Times. Yeah, I'm trying to think when the last time was I watched it? I mean, it's it's it's it's been a while. I want to say in that, I want to say ten to fifteen year range I and the last time I saw it is I'm remembering it. I think I think it holds up just fine. I think more so though for me, my high school defining movie I think probably was American Pie, And I think that might be too new for you.

26:46 What year was American Pie done? I think it was ninety eight, which is the year I graduated high school? Maybe ninety nine. What year was Fast Times? That's that was in the eighties when it came out. Oh yeah, that's eighty three, eighty two or eighty two. Okay, I'm trying to think high school defining movie. If my age. American Pie nineteen ninety nine. Yeah, yeah, definitely, that's uh past that Breakfast Club a little more my, but that's still on the older side.

27:42 I'd have to really think about the. I think your because what year did you graduate high school ninety two. Dazed and Confused came out in ninety three. I guess because at that time I was at UT I had met in Matthew McConaughey at the delt House. I identified that more as a college movie, but yeah, it's a high school flick man. Yeah, but yeah, that would probably off top of my head. Yeah, I'd Saydays and Confused was definitely, I mean, it didn't really capture my high school. But yeah, well.

28:27 I mean that was a tough one because similar to Porky's, which we just did a review on on our Patreon, Porky's was released in eighty one, but it was set in nineteen fifty four. Days Too Confused was released in nineteen ninety three, but took place in I think the seventies. Yeah, I'll still I think Breakfast Club is probably if you really want to get into the in depth things of the different clicks and everything else, probably probably the best high school I mean, I didn't really identify with like sixteen candles are Pretty in Pink or anything like that, which is all the kind of the same genre.

29:09 You identify with pretty in Pink tray. Come on, Yeah, that's it. That's a fascinating I really have to go I have to go back and look at the movies around that time and see because the like I said, I always thought days confused more of a I mean, obviously I was in college, so that was but definitely high school ish. But because then Old School was kind of the college identifying movie. Yeah, that's that's old The old school is when you're in your thirties and wish you were still. In the college movie. Yeah. Another one that would be a high school generational film for me that came out the year before American Pie was nineteen ninety can't hardly wait. This was Jennifer Love, hewittt Ethan Imbrie, Charlie Corsmo, Peter Fassenelli, Seth Green. Seth Green was like the little white guy who was trying to be urban rapper kid. That's not the term we used for it and in the nineties, and it's now a term I'm going to resurface here today. But if you're in that age range. You know the word I'm talking about.

30:28 That was a great movie. Can't Buy Me Love also something I would see. And this is one of the things that I feel like as gen X because we're all the age range is so wide. The eighties really had some amazing teen movies, a bunch of the ones you just named, including Can't Buy Me Lave. But then there's the subset, and that is the high school party movie that's like they can't Hardly Wait. Dazed and Confused was a hardcore party movie. It's all about like one night in high school. So yeah, these are things I think about on occasion. Jason Biggs forty eight years old. Happy birthday. Oh and real quick side note on that, because you mentioned you had met McConaughey at the delt House back when Days and Confus had just come out. One of the stars of American Pie was Chris Klein. He's the one that played the lacrosse player. He was at TCU and he was a nobody.

31:42 I had a number of friends that went off to college to TCU and they said they remembered him after the movie came out. They're like, it's that guy. This is the guy that basically would just kind of sit by himself in the cafeteria kind of a thing. He wasn't really anything anybody, He wasn't known to anybody, and then all of a sudden he's for a while he was a megastar from them. Honestly, it's not like and I mean I literally I met McConaughey, not in any like we didn't have an end depth conversation or anything else, like hey. How are you? But nothing where I when I saw Days and Fuse like, oh my god, I met that guy. I had to someone go, hey, actually look at it, because I mean, he didn't have the wild, crazy hair anything else. And then someone showed me the picture and I was like, oh, okay, yeah, totally remember that guy.

32:35 Other birthdays today, Remy Mallick turns forty five. He's a good actor. I'm trying to think. I mean, obviously the Queen movie. Which he was phenomenal in, he was. He was also a bad guy in one of the Daniel Craig Bond movies yep, and then not I Robot. It was a television show that I'm brain farting on the name of it, but he was That's sort of where he got his big break was on a television show, wasn't that I Robot? I don't know, my my my brain is so full of stupid and useless I only have so much room for it. And Remy Mallig useful useless information is a little on the short site, no pun intended, sorry, Remy.

33:31 Emilio Estevez is sixty four today. This gives me an excuse to bring up not just the Young Guns franchise, which we are apparently getting a long awaited sequel. No, I I think we're getting Young Guns three. We are. I mean, hell, we talked about this like a year ago. I don't really feel like it was long awaited. I feel like I know that's why I had you looking at me. I was like long awaited, I know. I mean Top Gun was a long awaited Maverick was a long awaited sequel to me. Young Guns too. They told the story, people died, everything else.

34:17 I mean, it seemed like it but a pretty you know, pretty much on it. Yeah that somehow they're going to do a Young Guns three. But the reason I'm excited to bring up Amelia Lestevez's sixty fourth birthday is not for the Young Guns news, but because there's another movie he did with his brother Charlie that I think is a classic and I think is right for a Treehouse review, and that is Men at Work, where Emilio Estevez Charlie Sheen played garbage men and they solve and they saw the crime they didn't mean to. It's not like they're private investigators on the side kind of a thing. It's just I think they they because they were garbage men.

35:00 They happened upon some evidence, this is how I remember it, and they end up trying to save the day and solve a crime. Minute Work Emilio Estavez Charlie Sheen is one of those movies back in the day, Me and my best friend growing up, man, we loved that movie. But it has easily easily been twenty five years since I've seen it. Oh that's a movie I did not see in the theater. I've rented it, but I have not I don't think. I don't think I've seen it since then. So yeah, that would be that would definitely be a movie worth reviewing.

35:44 I'm just glad you've heard of it. And finally, Birthdays today, Tony Hawk skating legend fifty eight years old today. There was a phase. I think it was in the early two thousands, really early, like around two thousand. In college. Uh my buddy Brian and I lived together. We would play that Tony Hawk video game for hours. I couldn't skate for anything in real life, but man, I was. I was halfway decent on the video game. You know. I skateboarding was a big thing my junior high years. And you know, I actually had a classmate as nas Michael Crumb, who went on to actually make a career out of skateboarding, and I mean he was phenomenal at it. I was, you know, gravity even then, I I did not like to mess with it. And you have to have have the ability to forget about gravity and and really want to get up there and not afraid of falling. And that was not me. But I could go up and down on a ramp, but that was that was about it.

36:57 Outrage has erupted after a tourist allegedly threw a rock at a Hawaiian monk seal a few days ago. How what are you doing as we see the video of him very obviously throwing our rock at the Hawaiian monk seal. I don't know why they're even bothering using the word allegedly. That's what I was curious about, because there is clear video evidence of this guy doing it. I can't tell you how many times I have seen on on social media news sites like this one, which is the Tribune, saying something allegedly happened and posting the video of it happening, Like I don't you don't need to say allegedly, like this is clearly what is happening.

37:52 One of my. Favorites was the Dallas, Texas social media account or. They had posted two teams arrested for a leg firing automatic weapons from an overpass in Dallas, and there's the video of them of the guy shooting automatic weapons from like Arnold Swartzenegger shooting automatic weapons from an overpass. It's like, you don't need to say allegedly, so I would just I'll just comment on that with quotes allegedly. Especially some I understand, because maybe you can go mistaken identity or whatever. This one. The person filming this, they made sure to get a nice good facial shot of this guy walking away. There is, yeah, there is no allegedly on this one.

38:39 Yeah, even on the videos that you see where he's throwing the rock at the seal. People have taken a photo of him and superimposed it on the video, so it's like, in case you're not sure, it's this guy right here. And what I mean, yeah, what are the sayings that you know used to be prevalent? Was you know, like you club a baby seal talking about that you're just an awful person. Here you go. And this is him according to the lady who posted a video. Uh. When confronted, the man allegedly responded, I don't care find me.

39:28 I'm rich. It says it in the video. Fuck Getty, Hello, you fucking Holly, you just do There's another video where it he does say that very nonchalantly. It's like, dude, have you been living under a rock the last ten years that you don't realize that you're about to go viral because you can do a lot of things and you'll you know, you might get condemned by one side and praised by the other. You throwing a rock at a baby sea at a seal, You're not gonna have anyone who's going I got you back?

40:18 Yeah? Yeah, you got no friends, bro, No, And look you can say I'm rich. I don't care. Find me all you want, but sometimes there are consequences to your actions, like what happened not long after the initial video was recorded of him throwing a rock at a seal, when another Hawaiian decided to exact some Hawaiian justice on his head. The video of a young man confronting this man by escorting him through a closed gate repeatedly is the best way I can put it, So a little bit of immediate Hawaiian justice was delivered upon this man's head, along with the unsurprising viral backlash online. I mean, I've said for a few years now, when someone shows you who they are, believe them. And this guy did that in a matter of seconds. What an absolute piece of trash.

41:33 Yeah, I just you're the same type of person that would kick a puppy or you know what I mean. It's just who does that. The only thing that surprised me is the fact that this man was able to make it from the beach to whatever gate he was trying to escape to, because I kind of would have expected that beat down to have and right there on the beach. Yeah, especially, I mean, evidently this is an endangered seal, and obviously you know anything about the Hawaiian and that culture.

42:14 They are things. They they're a balance of nature and everything else, something they highly regard. So I mean, he got he is going to get everything that he deserves and then some hopefully all the smoke, all of this. It's never going away.

It's a gruesome scene at Denver International Airport a few days ago and because of the incident there. Denver International Airport is conducting a safety analysis after a person who jumped over a fence into a runway was struck and killed by a plane during take off late Friday.

45:42 It's a very generic way of saying got sucked into the jet engine. The only thing we don't know at this point, although we've we can guess was it intentional or was this accidental? Now I don't mean an intentional on the part of the front tiered jet, you know, pilot. I mean did the man run onto the runway to jump into a jet engine or was he just running along the airport and accidentally got sucked in? I mean, you have to unless they find that there was some some section of fence that was down. Every airport I know of has a perimeter fence that includes razor wire at the top. Like you don't just happen upon a runway like you you have to really go out of your way and and in the same essence of look both ways before crossing the street. If you are going to be on a runway and you know you think you are just trying to make a short cut over airport, be really wise to look both ways before crossing said runway. Uh, that's why, I mean, I I can't help but think that this was a suicide.

47:09 I'm with you. I mean, there's there's a big yeah. Looking both ways as smart, especially at an airport, because look, if you're on a if you're a pedestrian on a normal street, getting hit by a Honda's not going to feel good, but getting sucked into a jet engine's going to be way worse. It's like occasionally you hear people, you know, obviously get struck by a car trying to cross like an interstate. It's like, you know that you're just here's a here's an eighties reference. You're trying to play Frogger and you're gonna lose. But especially being that this plane was taking off, not landing, so you clearly, if you look, you would have seen that, oh hey, there is a big, giant, you know thing heading this way. I should not get in front of it. I am, and I'm not fast enough.

47:57 And one of this, one of the stories I saw was that when the impact occurred, the jet was going one hundred and thirty nine miles an hour. I don't know if that really matters a whole lot when you get pulled into a turbine that's on. I mean, it's going to end poorly either way. The fatal incident has drawn scrutiny to the airport's security protocols, of course, and heightened i'm sorry, and highlighted the challenges of securing a facility twice the size of Manhattan. I think that's a legitimate concern for any airport in the country, especially the really big ones like a Denver International, like our DFWO, which I think is even bigger than Denver's. Probably. The pedestrian was killed just two minutes after they jumped a perimeter fence and crossed a runway. Pilots of the Frontier Airlines airbus, which was headed to Los Angeles, quickly aboard a takeoff. Twelve people were injured during the incident. Surveillance video taken before the collision shows a blurry figure, tiny in comparison to the jet and the bans of the land around them, standing on the runway. Then the figure is overtaken by the plane engulfed in flames. Ugh, well, and thank god the because and it started an engine fire.

49:14 Well, and thank god they weren't because at a certain point you I forgot. There's a specific name for it. Once a plane hits a certain speed, you have to take off like they you can't break, so you have to take up and basically then come back into an emergency landing. Thank god they hadn't hit that point, because although a plane can fly on one engine, it's certainly not ideal. Well said. And in case you were curious about the size and how accurate we were just a moment ago. Denver International Airport is the nation's third busiest by passengers, behind only Atlanta and our DFW, and it is massive, fifty three square miles larger than San Francisco.

50:03 I wonder how big DFW is. I would assume it's big. I know the Denver Airport is huge, but I would assume DFW is bigger too, just because we got the land, why not? Yeah? No kidding. Have you ever felt like you could relate to the Pope? Can't really say no? Now you can, Okay? The Pope called customer service last week and they hung up on him. Pope Leo the thirteenth reportedly, I'm sorry, Pope Leo the fourteenth. Pope Leo the fourteenth reportedly called his bank over an issue with his account and got the full customer service experience, confusion, frustration, and eventually click story exploded online because even the Pope can't escape the terrible hold music and support representatives.

51:10 I would assume that one of the most powerful people on the face of the earth, the leader of roughly two billion people, the head of your own country, you have your own currency, you sit on piles of money. I would assume you have a you could have a staffer that could do that, that your time is more valuable, I mean, and that you know, like when you're elected president, all your accounts are basically closed or put on hold, and all your all of that stuff is put away because you don't. Need it basically supposedly.

51:54 Yeah, I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure things have progressed at this point where maybe they do. But obviously, you know, you don't want the president's account getting hacked or anything. And I just I would assume the Pope has there are better uses of his time, that you could at least have a lackey sit on hold and then flag him down when hey, all right, I got somebody yeah moment. You would assume that the pope has people for these things. But two months into his papacy, the pontiff called his bank in Chicago to change his phone number and his address.

52:35 After Pope Leo, who at this point in the conversation with his bank is just good old Robert Prevost, answered a series of security questions, the customer service representative offered him a seemingly straightforward solution, saying, oh, I'm sorry, sir, it says here you have to come in person. After pleading with the representative to Noah Vail, Pope Leo had just one last card to pull. He said, would it matter to you if I told you I'm Pope Leo? And that didn't work. According to the Vatican, she hung up on it. Now, which means somewhere there's a customer service representative who realizes that she actually did hang up on the Pope.

53:30 Yeah, it's kind of like that scene out of The American President where he was trying to order flowers. But also, I asked this question, how old is is Pope Leo? Oh? I think in his sixties, late sixties, early seventies, somewhere in there. Let's see, seventy years old here we go. So is he is he at that age that he's too stubborn to do online banking. Hang On. In his defense, I understand what's happening because where I live there is not a Chase branch. There's also not a Bank of America branch. So my wife and I can occasionally run into some banking issues, and when they say, well, we need you to come in, we say, well, that's not really possible right now because we live very far away. So I understand where he's coming from. At a certain point, there's only certain things you can do.

54:37 If you need to change your address, you can probably open up the app and do so. Yes, But I think this is a weird way where I think I understand what the Pope is going through because he lives in such a specific place that changing his address to Vatican City Vatican probably is not on the drop down menu at his bank. I have the same issue sometimes when I try to do an address change or something, the virgin Islands isn't always an option. Sometimes the closest I can get is Virginia and then it just that's it, and that's when they say you need to come in. It's like, well, if that were possible, I would, but it's very difficult because I'm very far away, so I think that's what happened. I think there wasn't a Vatican City dropped down to change his address too, and when he said, but I'm the Pope, and she's like okay, and then she hung up on it again.

55:39 You have your own currency. I feel like you could call someone in the Vatican Treasury and go, hey, can you call Chase for me? And you know, because you can probably get hold of the head of Chase and just go, hey, can you take care of this? Yeah? Or but just go and just go, hey, my address it's one Popeville, Italy, and I bet it would get there. You know what, I don't think you're wrong. One Pope Boulevard, Pope Town, Italy, Italy. It's worth the shot.

56:22 You know. It works for Santa, That's true. That's what the Pope should have said. If Santa can get his mail, then I should be able to get the pope mail. Another way to look at it that you can relate to the Pope is you're not the only one to get ghosted tree. Yeah. I think he's coming to the States sometime. You know, he can just uh, He'll left a detour and take his little Pope. Pope will beile to. Through the d that's a photo that needs to happen.

57:03 He needs to go to the bank and do his official change of address. For all things Treehouse, go to Treehouse on air dot com.
