5
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:28.719
What has you tickled this morning?

6
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:33.520
I'm really glad you used the word tickled.

7
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:41.240
So it turns out that four North Texas massage parlors

8
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:45.840
have been shut down amid human trafficking investigations.

9
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:49.479
I'm shocked.

10
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:53.000
I'm not laughing at human trafficking. I'm laughing at the

11
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:55.679
fact that one of these four massage parlors is one

12
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:57.560
of the spots my wife and I used to go.

13
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:05.480
When we live near Little l And I have to admit.

14
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.879
That every time a headline pops up that a new

15
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.319
massage parlor is getting busted for things it's not supposed

16
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:17.319
to be doing, I wonder if our spot in Little

17
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:18.920
Elm is going to be among them.

18
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:21.840
And today is that day?

19
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:27.079
Anything that made you question where you were going?

20
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:31.719
Uh huh?

21
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:34.840
So there we were the first time going to the

22
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:40.079
Lucky Foot massage in Little Elm years ago. This was

23
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:45.959
this is when we were living up there and this

24
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.599
massage place was had good reviews, we said let's go,

25
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:54.040
and we both we don't typically do the couple's massage

26
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.640
in the same room because it's it's like you go

27
00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:00.000
in your room, I go in mine, and because it's

28
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:03.239
it's not that relaxing romantic like that seems weird to me.

29
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:05.480
It's just kind of like it's weird to both of us.

30
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.159
It's more like, get in there, I need your elbow

31
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.520
in my back to work out some knots.

32
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.960
So anyway, so the first time we go into.

33
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:18.800
Lucky feat Lucky Foot, whatever it is, the first time

34
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:21.680
we go into to Lucky Foot massage in Little Elm,

35
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:28.680
we come out sixty minutes later looking relaxed, refreshed, Hey

36
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:30.199
the lady at the front. And then when we get

37
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.719
in the car, we look at each other and go like,

38
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:39.039
was that a little weird? So we ended up calling

39
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:44.360
it affectionately our awkward massage parlor because they would get

40
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.960
close in certain areas, much closer than they do with

41
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:53.919
massage envy, but they wouldn't cross a line right, and

42
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:58.080
nothing untoward happened, nothing untoward was offered. It was just

43
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:05.159
closer than other massage therapists have gone before. On both

44
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:09.560
of us, so it was just kind of funny to

45
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.000
talk about it, like was it a little little awkward?

46
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:12.479
Yeah?

47
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.680
But was it good also? Yeah? So we kept going

48
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:17.680
back good. It's a good massage.

49
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:22.039
Honestly, I had more good massages there than I did

50
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:27.479
at other national chain massage places. I mean, this place

51
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.479
had the bars on the ceiling and now I'm wondering why.

52
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:33.599
Maybe it wasn't just for handholding.

53
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:37.159
I don't know, that's for the is it time massage

54
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:38.879
where they like use their feet and stuff.

55
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:42.560
Yeah, so there was one time. It depended on which

56
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:44.360
therapist you got the kind of massage. So it's like

57
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.919
there was one time that we went and the lady

58
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.280
actually did holding her hands on the bars and was

59
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:54.039
walking on my back and stuff. But yeah, no, today

60
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:56.680
is that day when the awkward massage parlor gets busted

61
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:58.400
for something it wasn't supposed.

62
00:03:58.000 --> 00:03:58.479
To be doing.

63
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:03.039
It Always my wife and I are neither shocked nor surprised.

64
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:08.159
Yeah, uh, it always shocks me, and I don't know why.

65
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.120
But so many of these places are in the birds

66
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:16.879
mm hm. You know these are places that I would

67
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:20.639
associate with Harry Hines or you know other I will

68
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:25.680
call them red light districts, you know, not.

69
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:30.680
In Little Elm and Flower Mound.

70
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:35.000
Yeah, I mean you're talking about two of North Texas's

71
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.639
krem de la creme when it comes to suburbs. The

72
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.680
Dinton County Sheriff's Office announced four North Texas massage parlors

73
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.360
have been shut down during a human trafficking investigation.

74
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:46.720
Two of the.

75
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:53.879
Businesses located in Flower Mound, two located in Little Elm.

76
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:57.759
Possible human trafficking victims were identified and evidence of prostitution

77
00:04:58.160 --> 00:04:59.839
was found at the Flower Mound location.

78
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.120
Oh, we went to the wrong locations. The Little Alman

79
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:04.800
apparently was just into trafficking.

80
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:14.519
The four massage parlors named Ava Massage in Flower Mound,

81
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:19.040
Sun Massage in Flower Mound, Heavenly Soaking foot Care in

82
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:27.319
Little Elm, and My Spot Lucky foot Massage in Little Elm.

83
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.800
You know what, Burbie, don't see these bus coming out

84
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.000
of Lewisville.

85
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:36.000
That's true.

86
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:37.839
I think they had to. I think they had to

87
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:39.240
break up that task force.

88
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:42.879
You mean, bust it.

89
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:44.079
Well.

90
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:49.879
Yeah, Police said they found potential trafficking victims during the

91
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:53.040
investigation and evidence of prostitution was located at the Flower

92
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:56.040
Mound locations. Sixteen hundred dollars was seized as part of

93
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:58.920
the operation. The Little Elm Police Department and Texas Department

94
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:04.560
of Licensing and Regular assisted dcso with the investigation. No

95
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:08.040
arrests have been made in relation to the case. It's interesting,

96
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:10.600
that's it. That's the whole story. That's all we got.

97
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:17.079
Not a lot, but you know, it's it's, it's it's

98
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:20.079
it's one of my favorite massage places in trouble for

99
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:23.839
the human trafficking. Look, every therapist that I had when

100
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:25.800
I was there seemed okay to be there, not that

101
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:30.879
I know what trafficking victim necessarily looks like. I'm happy

102
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:35.560
said whatever for fear or whatever. Yeah, No, it's not

103
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.120
every day you wake up and go, oh, that's where

104
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:38.439
I go.

105
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:40.920
I've been there. I've been there a lot.

106
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.759
I didn't have that experience, But you're right, these things

107
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:46.480
like it, this seems like it's happening more and more

108
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:49.560
and more. And I don't know if it's because the

109
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:54.879
suburbs are like not in our towns, or if the

110
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:57.800
vice squads in the suburban police departments are like, we're

111
00:06:57.839 --> 00:06:58.360
kind of bored.

112
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.439
You want to go get a handy. Well, I think

113
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:02.519
it's also the fact that.

114
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:08.800
They've allocated more money to these human trafficking things, and

115
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:12.160
so there's I guess probably more of an incentive or

116
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.639
and the departments probably get reimbursed for extra time whatever.

117
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:23.040
But it really it seems like if you close one,

118
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:24.600
they had two more sprout up.

119
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:31.120
I mean, I'm it's but yeah, you're right there.

120
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:33.720
Especially I guess spent the last year, there's been a

121
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:34.399
lot of them.

122
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:40.600
Yeah, and it's it's it's I don't know, it's the stereotype.

123
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:45.600
You know, it's like the Asian massage parlor places, and

124
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:49.920
so i've it is it's an odd thing just to

125
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:52.680
you know, I guess face to face or just to

126
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.800
see the thing where you read about it, and then

127
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:58.639
you wonder, it is that happening in the place that

128
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.120
I happen to go on occasion, Then maybe it is.

129
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.800
So this is that day it's finally come no pun intended.

130
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:13.519
Yeah, well you'll have to find a new place.

131
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:16.759
Maybe not. I mean, look innocent until proven guilty.

132
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:21.079
Yeah, if if if if we're in North Texas, you know,

133
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:24.279
this summer and we're in the area, we might still

134
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:24.959
stop by.

135
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:27.519
If it's still open.

136
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.240
I wonder if there's just one because like I know

137
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:37.360
a lot of like salons like uh that's sometimes do

138
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:40.399
massage too and everything, Like I know there's one lady owns.

139
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:41.559
Like fifteen around Dallas.

140
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:44.960
Uh. It's like I wonder if there's one like criminal

141
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:49.000
mastermind behind a bunch of these and they just.

142
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.320
What did jack Uza?

143
00:08:54.919 --> 00:09:09.200
Yeah, very nice, just the one guy the or lady

144
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:10.279
really whatever.

145
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:17.919
Well sure wasn't.

146
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.200
I wasn't expecting to see that headline of the pegu Yeah.

147
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:23.000
Well, I'm sure there's some people that are very disappointed.

148
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:28.039
Yeah, or scared, like they're really worried, like oh no,

149
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:29.360
I was just there yesterday.

150
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:30.480
Well yeah, it's like.

151
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.879
What if the poor schmuck that goes in there and

152
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:37.799
just gets a massage and then you.

153
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:44.279
Know, lusting in Yeah, you're like what or.

It's really great, like oh oh oh Ted. It does

161
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:11.440
explain though, why they always preferred cash. Yeah, all right,

162
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:13.440
did you have something to start with today.

163
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:15.679
I know, I usually try to say before the show,

164
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:18.600
before we actually start recording, is there any big trending

165
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.120
topic today that's not politically related or motivated?

166
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:23.480
But it's it's real.

167
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:26.279
Hard these days for something not to be political leaning

168
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:29.799
when it comes to trending news and current events.

169
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:32.000
The other headline I saw was.

170
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.320
Former My Six hundred Pound Life star Dolly I think

171
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:41.799
Dolly Martinez dead at thirty.

172
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:45.120
I can't really say I'm surprised by that, No.

173
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:50.519
I mean I actually lived in Fort Worth and know

174
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:55.840
just it's like, I don't think we ever really talked

175
00:10:55.840 --> 00:11:00.399
about this on on air, but the Gillian Michael thing

176
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:04.279
and just the whole because she did this roundtable and

177
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:08.200
this one woman said, well, there's you know, name one

178
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:14.159
disease that's directly linked to obesity, meaning like oh, she's like, well,

179
00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:17.120
not obese people aren't the only ones that get it. No,

180
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:20.080
but you're high risk or higher It's like it's and

181
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:25.120
you know, it's like this girl died of basically congestive

182
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:28.559
heart failure and when on the show she couldn't lose

183
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:33.600
enough weight to have that doctor No and Houston do

184
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:42.000
the uh like gastric bypass whatever. But yeah, your six

185
00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:43.600
hundred pound life is going to be short.

186
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:44.879
Yeah.

187
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.000
And I don't know if I've never seen this show,

188
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:49.639
so I don't know if any of the you know,

189
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:53.639
stars slash patients on the show are happy or if

190
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:54.559
they're actually.

191
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:55.080
Trying to lose weight.

192
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:56.720
I don't know what the goal of the show is

193
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:01.840
or is it just a document? Is is it freak factor?

194
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.679
Is it basically like the old circuses of the early

195
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:07.000
twentieth century where you go in the tent and look

196
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:09.200
at the quote unquote the weirdos and the freaks, you know,

197
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:13.039
the bearded lady and the six hundred pound man, and

198
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:14.720
then you just want to see what they eat in

199
00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:17.960
a day. Or is it you know, them trying to

200
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:18.480
get help.

201
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:24.879
So from what I have seen, you know, the primitive,

202
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:27.559
like the most of them are want to get help,

203
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:30.720
or some I think sometimes maybe it just shows the

204
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.879
train wreck factor of I'm gonna be as fat as possible.

205
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:35.639
But a lot of them I've seen, they're trying to

206
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:40.000
get help, but for various reasons, and you know it's

207
00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:43.240
well I can't do this or this is how I cope, or.

208
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:44.759
And sometimes.

209
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:50.600
There's this one guy that he was such a just

210
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:57.600
miserable ass that like his mom would just kept feeding

211
00:12:57.639 --> 00:13:00.720
him because it was easier than dealing with his tantrums,

212
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:02.720
and they ended up having to you know, this is

213
00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:04.840
one of those they had to open up the side

214
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:09.240
of the house and with a crane get him out,

215
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:12.440
and you know, he was abusing pain meds and everything else.

216
00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:14.360
So I think, I think it's kind of a combination.

217
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:16.840
But I know for a lot of them, the goal

218
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:18.759
is to try to try to get down to a

219
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:19.919
weight where they can have.

220
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:22.480
A weight loss surgery.

221
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:26.159
It's so interesting because it really does seem like a

222
00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:31.919
sort of a paradoxical type situation. It's like, Okay, you

223
00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:34.720
need you need the surgery to lose weight, but in

224
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:37.080
order to get the surgery, you need to lose weight.

225
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:39.639
It's like, well, if they could do that, then they

226
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:42.480
wouldn't need the surgery in the first place. So I

227
00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:46.480
can see why it's an upbuild battle.

228
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:50.480
Yeah, but it's I mean, sometimes it's just like.

229
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:54.240
And it sounds like a lot, but yeah, if you're

230
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:59.120
five hundred pounds, losing fifty pounds isn't that hard. I

231
00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:01.159
think a lot of it just show you know that

232
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.840
you have some effort because obviously, if you have that

233
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:08.159
surgery and then you go back to binge eating, you're

234
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:11.320
going to hurt yourself internally. Yeah, I think they have

235
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:16.399
to show some you know, modicum of restraint and discipline.

236
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:19.279
Yeah, And I've I've known people that have done that

237
00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:23.279
I've they've had a a stomach surgery of some kind,

238
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:26.559
whether it was a bypass, a staple, or a sleeve,

239
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:29.360
like there's so many variations of it, and and they've

240
00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:32.440
eaten through it. Like it may have worked for a

241
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:35.000
little while, but you can you just like just like

242
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.360
they bypassed your tummy, you can bypass the bypass.

243
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.080
You can it can still backfire. You can still gain weight.

244
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:45.440
After those types of procedures if you're not committed to

245
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:49.440
the you know, the overall process.

246
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:52.399
And it's a sad situation.

247
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:56.399
It's just and you know addiction, you know better than

248
00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:00.279
anyone I know, as you know, being sober for ten

249
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:00.919
years now.

250
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:02.480
Granted your issue.

251
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:05.600
Wasn't with uh cake and cookies, although it is kind

252
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:07.320
of now, but you're not gaining weight on it.

253
00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:10.200
I mean, I would I would love.

254
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:16.919
I could easily eat myself into being three hundred pounds.

255
00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:19.399
I mean, it wouldn't take any effort at all.

256
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:22.000
You would be a walking snicker doodle.

257
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:26.879
Oh yeah, but you know, I'm just I can't imagine.

258
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:36.000
You're just miserable. Yeah yeah, so I and the other thing.

259
00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:39.240
And I guess it's watching my parents and everything else.

260
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:44.399
But you're going to age poorly if you put on

261
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:45.919
you know, when you're overweight.

262
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:50.480
I mean, and it's just basic physics really, It's.

263
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:53.480
Just, Hey, your joints are carrying one hundred pounds more

264
00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:56.440
than they should. It's gonna wear them out faster. You're

265
00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:59.120
gonna hobble along. You're not gonna be and then by

266
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:01.080
the time you're in you're sick, you're.

267
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:01.639
In a wheelchair.

268
00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:04.120
Yeah, especially if you're sedentary.

269
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:07.000
On top of that, just then all those things just

270
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:10.879
compound and just get worse. You know. It's just I've

271
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:13.159
seen that enough in my family, like you're saying you have.

272
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:18.639
And I don't know if everyone approaches these things this way,

273
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:20.879
but you and I seem to, which is if I

274
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:24.720
see an example of someone and I observe it and

275
00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:27.120
I learned from it, be like, okay, I know now

276
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:32.039
to do something different, like my grandmother. I mean, wonderful lady,

277
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:38.159
tiny as far as height, but always struggled with her weight.

278
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:42.679
And you know, for like twenty years, she just basically

279
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:45.799
hung out in her bedroom watching TV. Like she would

280
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.240
basically go from the bed to her computer chair, maybe

281
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:52.279
play some solitaire, go to the kitchen, get a half

282
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:55.480
gallon of Bluebelt butter pecan and sit and watch some

283
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:57.240
more TV. And that was that was kind of her

284
00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:00.279
life for like twenty years. And it's just like, well, yeah,

285
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:04.079
then eventually she started having some serious health issues. And

286
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:06.880
you know, and like we grew up on those life

287
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:11.000
alert commercials, all down, can't get up. I don't ever

288
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:13.240
want that to be me. I never want to be

289
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:19.160
a life alert commercial. If I fall down and I'm ninety,

290
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:22.079
I want to be able to hoist myself back up,

291
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:26.920
or if I fall I'm not, or it kills me

292
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:28.960
right there. But in other words, I don't want to

293
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:31.519
be trapped where I can't get myself up off the floor.

294
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:35.079
Yeah, or if I get to that point, I want,

295
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:37.400
you know, some mystery figure in a cowboy hat to

296
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:38.839
come over there put.

297
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:47.960
Me down, oh, not carrying you off into the sunset.

298
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:50.440
I thought this fantasy was going to take a weird turn.

299
00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:53.599
Nope, old yell a me and move on.

300
00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:00.559
The irony is that's what my grandmother was so worried about.

301
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:03.319
She was so worried about at the time, she was

302
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:08.440
so worried about Obama's death squads coming to offer. It's

303
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.119
like you're listening to too much Russia, Limbaugh. It's not

304
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:15.839
gonna happen. They're not going to do that. I said,

305
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:19.440
Obama's not going around house the house and old yellow

306
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:22.519
ring old people. As funny as it sounds, it's not

307
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:25.480
actually happening. And I told her it's like he wouldn't

308
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:32.799
need to. You're doing it to yourself. Yeah, yeah, I

309
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:36.200
just again, I don't know if everyone has that same approach,

310
00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:41.880
but it would it would be, I don't know, a

311
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:45.160
nice option. And I don't know if all the you know,

312
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:48.400
paramedics would want that as part of their job description.

313
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:52.160
If you're on the floor and help arrives and they

314
00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:55.200
give you the either or would you like help or

315
00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:56.279
would you like hope?

316
00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:03.200
I know some ems firefighters that would jump at the chance.

317
00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:09.440

Back inside the Treehouse. I'm Dan along with Trey. Today is.

360
00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:44.039
Wednesday, April fifteenth, twenty twenty six.

361
00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:45.119
Birthdays today.

362
00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:50.880
Emma Watson is thirty six. It took me a second

363
00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:57.200
to remember and realize who that was stupidly that's Harry Potter. Yeah,

364
00:21:57.240 --> 00:22:00.880
that is Hermione from the Harry Potter films. The reason

365
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:02.559
why at first it didn't stand out to me that

366
00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:07.039
it was her was because she's thirty six and I

367
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:09.559
still think of her as much much younger than that.

368
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:12.440
But you know, she and Harry and Ron they're all.

369
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:14.519
Older now, the whole cat they've all gotten older, and

370
00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:20.160
they're all so old now that the millennial Star Wars,

371
00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:23.640
which is what Harry Potter was. As gen X we

372
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:27.079
had actual Star Wars, millennials have the Harry Potter movies.

373
00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:30.160
I don't never really know what gen Z has as

374
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:34.920
far as franchise type stuff, but the Harry Potter movies

375
00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:37.400
and books are so old now that there's it's already

376
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:40.400
it's being rebooted as we speak. I think it's new

377
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:43.200
episodes have already started dropping of a new Harry Potter

378
00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:45.440
series on I don't.

379
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:46.599
Think it starts to December.

380
00:22:46.839 --> 00:22:51.480
But yeah, it's a huge HBO project, and obviously there's

381
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:58.319
all sorts of controversy with it because of JK. Rowling's

382
00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:08.039
stance on trans people. But you know, it's from what

383
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:10.599
I understand, and I have never read the books. But

384
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:14.680
the movies, as great as they were, were not did

385
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:20.759
not nearly encapsulate the books as some people thought they should.

386
00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:25.240
And so they're you know, they know that even if

387
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:28.440
you don't like JK. Rowling, if they're going to really

388
00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:30.720
go more in depth into the books in this series,

389
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:31.839
people are gonna watch it.

390
00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:33.680
Oh yeah, yeah.

391
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:35.720
I think I think a lot of people are capable

392
00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:40.400
of separating the art from the artist then they're given

393
00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:45.400
credit for. Like, I still don't know what the truth

394
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:48.759
is when it depends on the person. I still don't

395
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:51.000
know what the truth is when it comes to say,

396
00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:54.480
Kevin Spacey, but I know that dude is fun. Is

397
00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:56.559
one of my favorite actors of all time, and I'll

398
00:23:56.599 --> 00:23:58.839
still watch his stuff because it's it's really good.

399
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:00.400
That doesn't just because I watch.

400
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:02.200
An old movie of his doesn't mean I endorse what

401
00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:04.160
he may or may not have done.

402
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:08.359
I mean, you know, we'll never know about Michael Jackson.

403
00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:12.880
I mean, I listen, R. Kelly is a horrible person.

404
00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:16.319
But when ignition comes on that still.

405
00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:20.279
Slaps it does I can't help it.

406
00:24:20.359 --> 00:24:20.880
I'm with you.

407
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:25.000
I can't stand Kanye West, and I also can't stand

408
00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:27.279
myself when a couple of his songs. I actually kind

409
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:29.759
of like, I'm still bopping my head too, Like I

410
00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:32.039
hate this guy, but man, this is a good tune.

411
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:36.119
And I feel the same way every time Billy Jean

412
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:39.960
or Thriller by Michael Jackson, you know, is on at

413
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:42.920
a party or something. I'm like, man, guy was a

414
00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:45.920
hell of an artist. Might have touched a lot of kids,

415
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:51.279
I don't know, but man, And so that's why I say, like,

416
00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:56.920
if if the art is good enough, it can transcend

417
00:24:57.319 --> 00:25:03.720
the controversies some degree of the artist. For example, from

418
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:08.759
the opposite way, Let's say Jeffrey Epstein was a painter.

419
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:17.680
I think his paintings would not be so popular, but

420
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:22.359
but we know him as a horrible person first and

421
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:24.279
anything else second.

422
00:25:24.640 --> 00:25:26.559
Right, So, like.

423
00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:30.839
All these people were talking about had their positive stuff

424
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:34.240
out there before any negative stuff hit, so you stood

425
00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:37.599
the chance of sustaining it or being able to ignore

426
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:39.200
the bad stuff to some degree.

427
00:25:39.279 --> 00:25:41.039
Does that make sense, Yeah, that makes sense.

428
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:42.440
I mean, now I'll say this.

429
00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:47.160
Oh, you know what, great example Hitler was an artist, and.

430
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:51.759
That goes exactly to my point of Yes, publicly there

431
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:54.599
would be no demand, but on the black market there

432
00:25:54.599 --> 00:25:55.720
would be huge demand.

433
00:25:56.759 --> 00:25:59.119
Yeah, that's true.

434
00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:02.920
Said there would still be people if it was good enough,

435
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:06.839
or it just some people for the fact that it

436
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:08.480
was Hitler or Epstein.

437
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:11.839
Yeah, you know, I mean, I think people would pay

438
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:12.559
huge money for it.

439
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:14.920
Yeah, there is there is a market for that, especially

440
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:18.599
if there's controversy attached to it. So other birthdays today,

441
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:20.880
that's just Imma Watson, She's thirty six. Happy birthday to

442
00:26:20.920 --> 00:26:24.559
herb Seth Rogan forty four. We have now lived long

443
00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:27.359
enough and seen enough of Seth Rogan's work to recognize

444
00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:33.000
him as a viable, serious Hollywood entity as opposed to

445
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:38.640
just a loong, ripping art joke comedian actor guy. I

446
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:41.039
have not seen his new series, The Studio, but I've

447
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:43.559
heard nothing but phenomenal things. I want to watch it,

448
00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:46.240
and I've gotten to the point where it's like, Yo,

449
00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:47.440
this guy's really smart.

450
00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:48.400
He's good at what he does.

451
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:51.640
He's not just you know, the guy we saw making

452
00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:53.319
silly movies twenty five years ago.

453
00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:58.559
I was so he was executive producer of the Muppet

454
00:26:58.599 --> 00:27:01.759
show Rebooth. They did one episode of and it was

455
00:27:01.799 --> 00:27:09.480
fantastic and it's funny. I cannot describe the smile that

456
00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:13.359
it brought to my face just hearing the Muppet Show

457
00:27:13.400 --> 00:27:16.559
opening song, and he did it. He redid it almost

458
00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:21.640
exactly like the original, and it was fantastic.

459
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:23.599
And I hope they actually I hope they pick it up.

460
00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:27.039
I am so mad at you and glad that you

461
00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:30.839
brought that up because I haven't watched it yet. And

462
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:36.880
I grew up on the Muppet Show. Rural Oklahoma, where

463
00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:41.480
I grew up Sunday mornings, six am, that's when the

464
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:45.640
Muppet Show came on. That's how dedicated I was to

465
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:48.599
the Muppet Show where I lived, so I woke up

466
00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:50.480
early on Sunday mornings to watch it.

467
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:53.200
And I have not seen the reboot.

468
00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:57.960
That's the difference is I remember the Muppet Show. I

469
00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:03.119
think it came on Sunday nights, but it was must

470
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:09.359
watch like for me. And then it's funny you Brandy,

471
00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:10.960
who's just you know, ten years younger.

472
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:14.759
She grew up on the Muppet Babies. I'm like, I

473
00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:15.839
don't know anything about them.

474
00:28:16.279 --> 00:28:19.559
Love the Muppet Babies. See I'm the crossover. See your

475
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:24.119
girlfriend is millennial, right, You're you're dead in the middle

476
00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:28.880
gen X. Some people might refer to me as a zennial.

477
00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:30.039
Which I don't. It's like, no, I'm gen X, I

478
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:30.720
claim gen X.

479
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:32.920
Now you're seventy nine, so I would say you're still

480
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:34.000
soundly gen X.

481
00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:35.160
I think so too.

482
00:28:35.880 --> 00:28:38.680
But I have that crossover situation when it comes to

483
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:41.039
the Muppet Show. I would wake up at six am

484
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:44.240
to watch the Muppet Show, and on Saturday mornings, I

485
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:46.720
think it was ABC, Muppet Babies also came on, So

486
00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:48.960
I had I had it coming in going as a kid,

487
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:49.519
I had it great.

488
00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:53.680
I think there's about it when you define the different generations.

489
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:56.319
I think there is I would say a four year

490
00:28:56.519 --> 00:28:58.799
gap on either side. Plus her mind is four years

491
00:28:58.839 --> 00:29:01.119
on whatever. It's like the jen X millennial line is

492
00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:04.000
nineteen eighty. I think there's a there's about a three

493
00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:07.119
four year range in there where people really can go

494
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:07.640
either way.

495
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:12.839
Yeah, but thank you for finally accepting my either way lifestyle.

496
00:29:13.079 --> 00:29:19.240
Well, uh man, all the strap on jokes, damn it.

497
00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:24.960
Uh but you're you're you're kind of straddling you know

498
00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:29.119
the line, and you're familiar with some things like I'm

499
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:31.640
not like I never watched the Muppet Babies at all.

500
00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:33.079
It was so good.

501
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:35.200
It was so good, Like when I saw that Seth

502
00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:38.279
Rogan was doing The Muppet Show. It was like, Oh,

503
00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:42.119
I love the fact that he's become so successful. One

504
00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:44.839
of the one of his passion projects as an adult,

505
00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:46.880
as a success in Hollywood, is to bring back the

506
00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:50.319
Muppet Show, and I fucking love that. I would love

507
00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:52.559
it if he also did something with the Muppet Babies.

508
00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:55.039
That was a good show, Drey. I mean, I don't

509
00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:56.920
know if it holds up, but I feel strongly that

510
00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:57.319
it does.

511
00:29:57.680 --> 00:30:01.160
I hope they Everything I I read it got, you know,

512
00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:03.720
good reviews and good numbers, so I hope they actually

513
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:06.920
I hope ABC Hula picks it up for an actual,

514
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:08.240
you know run.

515
00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:10.880
With all the other crap that they green light these

516
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:14.079
days on streaming platforms and they reboot left and right.

517
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:17.799
Let's do some up at show. They also, by the way,

518
00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:18.640
had some great.

519
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:21.839
Movies, and as much as nostalgia as there is for

520
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:24.319
stuff like that, I I would.

521
00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:25.519
Think it's a no brainer.

522
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:30.480
A couple more quick birthdays. Emma Thompson, phenomenal actress, is

523
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:34.480
sixty seven. Luke Evans is forty seven.

524
00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:36.079
I know him.

525
00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:43.000
Best as Gaston in the Beauty and the Beast remake,

526
00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:47.319
the live action remake which by the Way was really

527
00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:49.119
really good. Now that I think about it, I don't

528
00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:51.200
I haven't seen the snow White one, but all the

529
00:30:51.240 --> 00:30:54.519
live action Disney remakes that they've done, I think they've

530
00:30:54.519 --> 00:30:57.119
all been pretty darn good. I know a lot of

531
00:30:57.119 --> 00:30:59.680
people get all, you know, tightened their breeches because I

532
00:30:59.759 --> 00:31:02.319
will stuff, but whatever. A lot of those live action

533
00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:04.920
remakes were really good. The Beauty and the Beasts was

534
00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:05.480
one of the best.

535
00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:09.400
I think the one they've done recently have bombed pretty badly.

536
00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:11.240
That was the snow White one, wasn't it.

537
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:13.319
There's I think I feel like there's one more that

538
00:31:13.319 --> 00:31:15.359
that really did not do well.

539
00:31:16.039 --> 00:31:18.960
I know that they tried to review bomb Little Mermaid,

540
00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:20.720
but that was actually pretty good.

541
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:26.759
Yeah, but I mean snow White bombed terribly. Yeah.

542
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:32.000
And not only I mean not only just the woke things,

543
00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:34.720
but I mean critics that it was just awful. Yeah,

544
00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:36.160
that was across the board.

545
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:40.839
It sucked and I think, honestly, one of the pardon

546
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:43.000
the pun, but one of the biggest controversies the Snow

547
00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:46.160
White live action remake had was was that they ce

548
00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:49.920
gied the dwarfs as opposed to using actual Hollywood Dwarf actors.

549
00:31:50.079 --> 00:31:52.440
Like you pissed off the little people, contending you took.

550
00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:55.319
The one film that they could do that no one

551
00:31:55.319 --> 00:31:57.039
else could and you see gied it.

552
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:02.680
One other birthday that I want to mention, Mazie Williams

553
00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:07.079
is twenty nine today. She is best known as Arias

554
00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:11.000
Stark from the Game of Thrones show and I forget traded.

555
00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:13.000
You never watched all of that, right, I.

556
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:15.119
Watched the first season and I just it was like

557
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:16.519
pulling teeth and.

558
00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:18.920
She she had a hell of an arc, man, I mean,

559
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:24.279
trauma as a child all the way through becoming in

560
00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:26.480
that world of Game of Thrones, one of the most

561
00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:30.200
feared assassins in that world. And then it felt like

562
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:32.880
they kind of wasted her in the last episode.

563
00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:39.720
I that's it's that genre is so up my alley.

564
00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:44.039
But I just and everyone said, oh, get past the

565
00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:46.960
first season, it's great. I it was. It was a struggle.

566
00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:51.519
I'll give you Arius Stark's arc over the course of

567
00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:55.240
the seasons on Game of Thrones. To celebrate Mazie williams

568
00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:59.640
twenty ninth birthday, right, she watches her dad's head get

569
00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:03.559
cut off, her entire family gets murdered at the hands

570
00:33:03.640 --> 00:33:07.039
of another family right. So the course of the next

571
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:12.200
handful of seasons, she trains as an assassin and a spy.

572
00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:16.119
So the very last season she gets her revenge on

573
00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:19.279
the guy who orchestrated the murder of all of her

574
00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:22.759
family by killing all of his kids and putting them

575
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:25.200
in a meat pie and feeding them to the guy

576
00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:28.640
before she kills him.

577
00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:29.519
Yeah.

578
00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:33.160
Wow, Okay, yeah, yeah, I got chills. I'm like, man,

579
00:33:33.279 --> 00:33:38.079
that is that is some next level revenge. And that

580
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:41.599
wasn't even in the finale of the of the show.

581
00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:47.480
That that is I mean, bravo. Mm hmm, that is

582
00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:48.400
next level.

583
00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:51.480
You.

584
00:33:52.000 --> 00:34:00.160
Yeah, I'm not messing with that kid anyway. There, there's

585
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:04.440
your birthdays for it today. Greed is a terrible thing.

586
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:06.480
I'd like to think we can all agree on that,

587
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:09.400
but it seems like so many people that grew up

588
00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:13.119
like we did watching television and films where rampant greed

589
00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:15.840
is frowned upon, a lot of these people grow up

590
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:20.239
and well they just get greedy. But I love a

591
00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:23.800
good come uppunce story. Not quite to the level of

592
00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:28.320
Arias Stark feeding her enemy meat pies filled with his

593
00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:33.679
children level, but still executives at PEPSI coo waited too

594
00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:36.960
long to slash its prices on its seven dollars of

595
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:41.320
bag snacks, including Dorito's, Cheetos and Lays, which cost the

596
00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:44.159
company billions.

597
00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:45.440
This makes my heart happy.

598
00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:48.880
The company announced in February that it would cut prices

599
00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:51.000
on some of its best selling junk food after years

600
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:54.440
of hikes that pushed costs up nearly fifty percent since

601
00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:57.039
twenty twenty one. So basically, during the pandemic, they jacked

602
00:34:57.119 --> 00:34:59.159
up prices, and they waited too long to bring the

603
00:34:59.199 --> 00:35:01.239
prices back down, and they lost a ton of money

604
00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:03.119
in the process, which I say, good.

605
00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:11.360
I hadn't Yeah, I hadn't looked at the cost of

606
00:35:12.559 --> 00:35:15.840
a bag of chips in the grocery store in a while.

607
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:20.320
And I don't say what, but I picked up a

608
00:35:20.360 --> 00:35:21.880
bag and it was like six forty nine.

609
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:23.159
I'm like, are you kidding me.

610
00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:27.519
For what, in essence is mostly a bag of air.

611
00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:31.519
Yeah. Yeah.

612
00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:33.519
I would also bet that they put less in the

613
00:35:33.519 --> 00:35:34.639
bags than they did before.

614
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:36.800
I'm with you, shrink flation.

615
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:37.880
Yeah.

616
00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:41.000
Executives had been debating price cuts internally since at least

617
00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:44.920
twenty twenty four as sales at its Free Doo lay

618
00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:51.159
division slid, but resisted taking the short term hit to revenue.

619
00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:54.880
Stupid executives ruin a company every single time. I don't

620
00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:57.400
care if it's a food company or a media company.

621
00:35:57.800 --> 00:36:02.079
These these quote unquote high level executive will ruin, will

622
00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:05.280
ruin the company and the industry if they're allowed to

623
00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:10.280
do so. As executives stalled, retailers like Walmart began cutting

624
00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:12.159
shelf space for free to lay products in favor of

625
00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:16.880
cheaper alternatives, squeezing sales further. By the time Pepsi finally

626
00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:20.039
moved to cut the prices, damage was already done, sales

627
00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:24.239
and market share already under pressure, having lost a billions,

628
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:27.519
to which I say, like Nelson in.

629
00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:34.599
Yeah, and what you also what I've seen though is yeah, alternatives,

630
00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:39.280
and then sometimes other brands that are like there's this

631
00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:42.559
one brand, I think it's called Boulder Canyon Delicious very

632
00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:45.519
you know, chips and stuff, but they're all in avocado

633
00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:50.880
oil and you know, healthier junk food, I guess you

634
00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:55.519
would say, and delicious. So you know stores are now

635
00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:59.039
carrying stuff like that. So yeah, you may not only

636
00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:01.239
you may screwed yourself, but you know, if you lost

637
00:37:01.320 --> 00:37:02.559
market share, you screwed yourself.

638
00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:05.719
Long term exactly, so there can be a number of

639
00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:08.840
PEPSI executives not not collecting on all their bonuses.

640
00:37:11.679 --> 00:37:16.079
Poor things? Are they still? Are they still locally headquartered?

641
00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:16.880
Uh?

642
00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:18.000
Huh? Okay?

643
00:37:18.880 --> 00:37:20.639
And actually one of the one of my best friends

644
00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:22.559
from high school last I checked, works there.

645
00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:34.440

dot com Slash Treehouse on air for your Ultimate Treehouse

668
00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:16.039
subscribers live stream time.

669
00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:17.960
What are you laughing at?

670
00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:23.000
Oh? You know how we help you up? Go ahead?

671
00:39:23.039 --> 00:39:27.079
Sorry, we came up with another name for the plus episode,

672
00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:28.199
just the Tip.

673
00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:32.280
Yeah, I had.

674
00:39:33.719 --> 00:39:35.440
Name that came up and came in my mind for

675
00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:39.039
super plus or Ultimate actually Ultimate.

676
00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:40.559
Mm hmm.

677
00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:43.239
Balls deep.

678
00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:47.440
It's interesting that you and I both had similar three

679
00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:52.960
am thoughts. So, thinking about how you had said we

680
00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:57.800
should rename Treehouse Plus just the Tip around three am

681
00:39:57.920 --> 00:40:00.960
last night Slash this morning, I wondered, well, if that's

682
00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:04.119
just the tip, then superplus would be the trunk.

683
00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:07.719
And an Ultimate Treehouse would be the whole log.

684
00:40:12.599 --> 00:40:13.159
Neither works.

685
00:40:14.119 --> 00:40:15.800
I'm glad that we're just, you know, right there with

686
00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:16.199
each other.

687
00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:20.760
I'm not.

688
00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:24.679
All right, fine whatever.

689
00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:30.960
A fatty bulge at the base of the neck is

690
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:37.039
not always just a cosmetic concern. Doctors are exposing buffalo

691
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:41.960
hump as a potential sign of hidden health conditions.

692
00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:44.159
Buffalo hump.

693
00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:49.719
As more Americans grapple with poor posture, obesity, and chronic

694
00:40:49.719 --> 00:40:54.480
conditions requiring long term medications, experts warned that these factors

695
00:40:54.519 --> 00:41:02.519
can contribute to the development of buffalo humps. A buffalo

696
00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:04.840
hump is a fullness at the base of the neck

697
00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:08.000
or upper back area. According to doctor Dolly or Rice

698
00:41:08.639 --> 00:41:11.400
posture can make a hump appear more pronounced, even if

699
00:41:11.400 --> 00:41:14.920
someone does not have much excess fat, so you can

700
00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:17.559
have The rounding on the upper spine can contribute to

701
00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:22.599
this effect with forward head posture. The condition is often

702
00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:27.159
linked to weight, though that's not always the case. In

703
00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:30.239
some cases, it can also be associated with medical conditions

704
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:35.599
like Cushing's syndrome or long term use of steroids. Other

705
00:41:35.719 --> 00:41:39.960
underlying medical issues could also be there, so keep that

706
00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:42.639
in mind if you happen to have or see someone

707
00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:46.480
or know someone that has the dreaded buffalo hump could

708
00:41:46.519 --> 00:41:53.639
be a sign of underlying medical issues, not just poor posture. Also,

709
00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:57.400
it goes by other names, not just buffalo hump. While

710
00:41:57.440 --> 00:41:59.639
the buffalo hump is not the most pc name. There

711
00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:02.519
are others that it's known by, such as the whale bubble,

712
00:42:02.599 --> 00:42:05.199
the ox drop, the neck note, the bovine deposit, the

713
00:42:05.239 --> 00:42:09.559
elephant bump, the wildebeest crease, or my personal favorite, the BBS,

714
00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:13.920
the big Beautiful slope.

715
00:42:16.239 --> 00:42:17.480
But it's different from fat back.

716
00:42:24.199 --> 00:42:26.320
I didn't get that far into the medical research.

717
00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:32.760
This seems to focus on the upper thing, so that's

718
00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:34.760
going to require more reading. So thank you Trey for

719
00:42:35.079 --> 00:42:40.679
that that deep insight. Also one more, one more lump

720
00:42:40.719 --> 00:42:45.559
of something inside the treehouse today, make sure I get

721
00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:53.159
this out properly. Anti icers unleashed an X rated protest

722
00:42:53.320 --> 00:43:00.840
that Trey has dubbed Fear the Dildo. I'd like to

723
00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:04.159
think that The New York Post is envious of your headline.

724
00:43:03.760 --> 00:43:06.079
Writing abilities, but yeah.

725
00:43:06.159 --> 00:43:10.599
Anti ICE protesters armed with sex toys descended on a

726
00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:14.440
federal detention facility in downtown the La Saturday, hurling the

727
00:43:14.559 --> 00:43:18.159
X rated items across security fencing and a stunt targeting

728
00:43:18.199 --> 00:43:22.000
immigration authorities. The unruleas scene unfolded around twelve thirty middle

729
00:43:22.039 --> 00:43:25.760
of the day outside the Metropolitan Detention Center, prompting a

730
00:43:25.800 --> 00:43:30.239
swift response from LAPD. Officials said the gathering was not

731
00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:34.519
permitted and quickly began snarling traffic between Eliso and Temple Street,

732
00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:39.719
probably because the protesters were hurling dildos into the detention.

733
00:43:39.440 --> 00:43:43.119
Facility and at ICE officials.

734
00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:49.639
They would also fasten the explicit objects to perimeter barriers

735
00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:53.679
and then toss them toward law enforcement vehicles while brandishing

736
00:43:53.960 --> 00:43:54.840
anti ICE sight.

737
00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:56.679
Just imagine you're just starting your shift for the day.

738
00:43:56.719 --> 00:43:59.079
You're driving out of the complex and bare right on

739
00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:03.519
the wind chill, big old dog, I.

740
00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:09.599
What are they? Why? What? I mean?

741
00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:16.519
I understand if if, if you're to a certain extent,

742
00:44:16.519 --> 00:44:19.639
I understand when your people are unhappy with with ICE,

743
00:44:19.719 --> 00:44:23.039
But uh what what are you gonna accomplished by that?

744
00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:24.719
I'm good with it.

745
00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:26.960
I mean nothing says I disagree with you better than

746
00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:27.800
a bag of dicks.

747
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:38.159
Okay, I.

748
00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:46.119
Try it next time.

749
00:44:46.440 --> 00:44:48.920
Next time someone makes you unhappy about something, send him

750
00:44:48.960 --> 00:44:51.559
a bag of dickson.

751
00:44:51.719 --> 00:44:55.079
Makes me unhappy about something, I'm gonna be flinging dildos

752
00:44:55.119 --> 00:44:57.960
out in my car window at you know other drivers,

753
00:44:59.800 --> 00:45:00.760
h which.

754
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:01.679
We call that a game.

755
00:45:02.039 --> 00:45:03.519
Yeah, we call that a road rager.
