I think I don't know for sure. I just know a little bit of the story on the front end. I don't know what's happening on the back end. Trey, do you have anything special to share with us today?

1:55 I do you? After what has been a pretty tough year. You know, Daisy died, mom died, love of my life just left. I decided I need some happiness, so I present to you, Lily. Oh, oh my god, is it normal for my panties to drop? Oh my goodness? Oh, you know, Trey.

2:36 After a breakup, perk up in a week or two. But oh my goodness, you know, Trey, after a breakup, most people get a revenge body, not a revenge puppy. Hey man, But that'll work. Oh my goodness, you got to You got you a chihuahua. She's just hanging out down there. She you know, I kidnapped her yesterday. I got a boy, yeah, and I drove down to Houston and kidnapped her. And so she spent.

3:16 Her first four, you know, four or five hours with me in my lap, and she peede on me, like the first ten minutes. It was got a girl. Yeah, it's like a girlfriend. It's like a girlfriend never left. But yeah, as of right now, she is enjoying the enjoying being in my lap. Obviously, it's been a lot of changes in her life the last twenty four hours. So I think this is her safe spot for now. Good for her, it's a good spot to be. Yeah, and no, I you know, speaking of I actually I saw my ex on day and I flipped her off.

4:02 She pulled up right. Now, that's our boy right there. So so so I'm guessing you've moved to the next step of the grief process. So you know, she will not make eye contact with me. I have like, she will not look at me, talk to me anything. It's like it is the damnedest thing. Yeah, it's such a weird deal because you've seen her a couple of times since she just left mysteriously and ghosted, never came back, never heard from again. You guys live in the same area, and then you just recently found out she lives nearby, and you've seen her outside on a walk before that you were on so yeah, and you'd and and you didn't flip her off those times.

4:48 No, I've waved trying to, you know, be cordial whatever. But no, then I howked and I flipped her off. She she I mean, I know she had to see it, but you shouldn't turn her head or anything. But it honestly, it wasn't near as satisfying as I thought it would be. Yeah, So instead I decided to register a website. Oh no, Trey Brandy Hughes is a heartless line. Dot net dot com has already taken. I guess somebody else has been through this with her before. Wow, I thought I get one of those you've seen the billboards around, you know, like some website like I hate so and so. I was like, maybe may find a digital billboard just throw that up there.

5:38 Social media ads are really inexpensive track and you know what, we could actually do the same thing because a lot of times those billboards go to like a like a church thing or something like it's it's it's a terrible bait and switch. We could do the same thing. We could run ads in various places podcast platform ms, radio station streams that you know, UH need the revenue. Also just social media ads that say that website and then when people click on it. It just goes to our show.

6:19 It's attention it is, and honest to God, I think we've got something here. So I think we can take your pain and turn it into the Treehouses game all for it. Yeah, I mean, you gotta you gotta revenge, puppy. Let's get some actual revenge on this woman. You're you're clearly at a better place. Yeah, you got you got a puppy. You're flipping off your X when you see her in places, you are clearly moving through the stages of grief of a normal level. It is amazing because it also you know, Daisy had been sick for the last really kind of eighteen months of her life, where there's daily medicine and everything else.

7:07 I mean, I loved her to death, but there is something about a puppy where you're just like, it just makes everything better. Yes, And you know what, I have a question that I think already know the answer to it, but I'm going to ask it anyway, just for verification of my theory. So, as you were driving back from Houston and Lily, your new puppy Pete on you because you know it's four or five hour drive, were you even mad? About it. I here's the absolutely stupid and she peed on me within the first ten minutes. And I had brought a towel for said said reason, but I was so excited and just happy with having her in my lap I forgot to put said towel in my lap. So no, I had dog pee all and you know, my front right right front leg to my crotch. And No, I wasn't mad about it at all. It was, yeah, just one of those.

8:05 Things because because you're in a better place now, you. Know, puppies can get away with just about anything. Yes, they can. And honest to god, it's amazing because and even if you get upset about something that that your dog does, it doesn't last because you know they didn't do it intentionally, right right, they don't. They don't necessarily know any better. They would really help if in relationships, women would understand men the same way. Like, I'm not doing this intentionally, it's just it's just kind of my nature. But I am. I.

8:46 I am happy for you. I'm genuinely happy for you, trade because you really have had the year from hell. You've had. You know, Daisy, you know, your your baby for years was going was going through a very difficult time for a long time, and you along with her, your mom was going through you know, late stage of life. You had to deal with all of that, not just from an emotional standpoint, you know, but going through that rite of passage that most of us go through where it's the death of a parent, and and this is the death of the final parent. Right then you had and then you had moving twice on top of it. One one was by your choosing, the other was not because your apartment flooded, and then you had to move back into that's actually you moved three times. And then and then out of the blue, the woman that you thought was the lover of your life. And believe me, you've looked a lot. I mean, and that's not a slam, it's just it just comes with age. It's like if you've never been in you know, never been married or whatever, and you reach a certain age, you've probably been in a number of relationships. So you thought you had the one, and then one day you woke up and she wasn't there anymore. So you've had a horrible year. So I'm very very happy for you with your new relationship, Lily, that you it was the.

10:10 Relationship thing is really the most interesting thing about it is. I mean, I I was horrible to deal with and when I was an alcoholic, and I in my drinking years, and then you know you, I've matured a lot of far more in the last ten years than I did in the previous twenty five. And but this one, I honestly thought I was getting right. You know, It's like it was the first time I ever understood. It was like, Okay, I I can understand that. I you get to a point You're like, I want to spend my life with this person. I am good, good, bad, and ugly. I am good with you know this course, this is this is the road I want to be on. And then all of a sudden they you know, you're driving down the road, they opened up a fucking car door and jump out.

11:00 Other record, that did not literally happen. It's just it's just kind of what it felt like. Honest to god, you would have been presented with slightly more closure had that scenario plaid out. I will say this, and this is uh, it sounds weird to say, but death is easier to deal with than what I what Brandy did to me, because you at least know. What happened, Yes, exactly, And that was what I was. That's that's what I've been thinking about the last minute or so, is all these things that have happened in your life this year. The death of Daisy year dog, the death of your mother. Those two things you knew were going to happen, you just didn't know exactly when.

11:42 But you know, the death of that relationship just kind of came out of nowhere and was completely unexpected. So ral so there is some solace, I guess in knowing or at least preparing for, you know, the death of a loved one that you know is kind of it's it's it's going to happen I don't mean going to happen someday. I mean it's like you can tell their health, their health is rapidly declining. You know what's going to happen soon, so you can kind of mentally prepare for that. But yeah, the relationship thing. Not so much. But now you got a new lover your life, and she beat on you already, so I'm happy for you. Oh yeah, and now and now you get all the the love and now now now you get the beautiful wonder that is raising a puppy, the house breaking, the great training, good thing.

12:38 She's cute, Yeah she so she's ten weeks old, and yeah, she's already got the nibbles a little bit. And we've uh, we've been hit. Or missed so far with the peep ad, but uh and first night, yeah, of course, I'd tried to put her in a crate that I have and it's more like a carrying crate like you would take to the bed. So I've got a regular crate ordered. But of course I had to put her in my bed because she was crying and stuff. Of course, because you look down on the floor, you saw her in that crate, and Sarah McLoughlin started playing in your heart melt and you grabbed that baby and put her next to you in the bed.

13:23 Let's see if she was crying and you know what am I going to do? And she's quite the snuggler. Mm hmm. Dogs asleep with their humans live longer, and I'm serious that they've they've shown that here recently, so I believe it. That's probably the reason why sleeping with. Me years ago, I mean, we we had just kind of become this old married couple where she would get her five minutes of pets and then she'd go to the other side of. The bed and yeah. And it's funny because, like in the middle of the night, I wake up and I'm like, oh, crap, where is she? And I look at you know, she has gotten underneath all the pillows, right.

14:06 And day Zy was so small and Daisy was so small you had legitimately, like wonder to make sure you didn't roll over on top of her. Well she can. She's actually right now, a little smaller than Daisy. And uh, she got a fat little belly, but she can get through. Like she got behind my sofa, which I didn't even think was possible. And then I'm like, crap, I got to pull the sofa out now. And then you know, she just pops out the other side, like, hey, what's going on. Yeah, she's puppy. She don't know. She don't care man, not a care in the world. She's just learning stuff, enjoying life. She's exploring. I don't think. I don't know how much bigger she'll get per her parents.

14:48 She shouldn't get I'm gonna guess she's gonna be around five pounds yea. And but yeah, the come. The day will come where she tries to get into one of those spots and be like, nope, can't fit anymore. Yeah, it'll happen. It's interesting you mention that, because it reminds me of Terra's Chuaba she had when she and I first met Daphne, and Daphne was sort of a similar size to Lily of what Lily's going to be. Daphne was about four and a half pounds, full grown and tiny, little brown Chihaha thing, and Tara's nickname for her was worm because she always found a way to worm her way into places you never would have expected, especially in bed. She was also a space heater because that little four and a half pound dog emitted more heat than a boiler room. I mean, it's amazing what it is with some of these tiny dogs. And I don't know if it's a Chihuaha thing or what, but a tiny Chihuahua could heat a neighborhood.

15:46 In her younger years, Daisy would sleep right here on my neck. Oh and yeah, I would wake up sweating because she would just just emitted so much heat. You could have a Golden Retriever sleeping on your face and you would be cooler than if you had to chihuahua doing the same thing. It's all that energy in that tight little space. That's why they shiver all the time. It's like that that energy's gotta go somewhere. Maybe it's what it is. And the other thing about puppies, like, you know, she peed on you, you didn't even care. Puppy toots, the little puppy farts. Oh, everything a puppy does is cute. Bubby breath is yep, puppy breath, you know, puppy belly rubs, puppy smells you smelling puppies, But farts seems to be cute when they get older and they get stinkier like with humans. Yes, kids, This is a segue at a movie theater in Cartagena, Colombia. Previously Cartagena previously known in my life as just you know, the cocaine capital of the world. It's also a place not to go to a movie theater, apparently because at a spider Man Brand New Day screening over the weekend in Carta Hana, Columbia, about halfway through the film, a number of the audience members had to flee the theater because of.

17:02 A horrendous rotten smell. They make it to the lobby, tell the staff, and then somehow they conclude it was from a fart from a guy in the theater dressed as Spider Man. I've only heard of a few legendary farts like this one. What I believe was I think attributed to Will Smith on a movie set that was so bad it cleared out the set. And there's this one that apparently was so bad it cleared out a movie theater in Columbia. I can't fathom what that must have smelled like. And I also put myself in that situation. It's the Spider Man Brand New bab It's the Spider Man Brand New day movie. I've waited a while for this one. I'm really excited to be in the theater to see it.

18:00 It's halfway through the movie and this smell overtakes me. Do I leave or do I just try to just power through it because I really want to see this movie and it's halfway through, so things are getting really really good now, and there's a little dark corner of my brain that wonders that's curious to smell it, just to know how bad it smells. What would you do, because. I mean, the only way to know whether or not you would stay in the theater or leave is you have to smell it.

18:41 Right. Yeah, it's hard to believe that it was that bad that you just had to leave. And I'm with you covering up your nose. And mouth and whatnot, but that that is a pretty putrid smell of if it evacuates something. I mean, it might be that bad for a moment, but it's going to dissipate. You know, in fifteen seconds you're all going to be able to sit back down and do whatever. Just one dude in a movie theater. Right, And that's what I think was part of the problem is that it happened. It was horrendous, and it lingered, it stuck there, and that's a big reason why people had to leave, because it wasn't dissipating.

19:31 It is humid there. Well it's in Cartagenia. Their theater may not have air conditioning or something else, because most theaters in the US they're going to be pretty well ventilated. That no matter like that smell is going to get out of there pretty quick. Yeah. Now, where I live on the Island of Saint Thomas, the movie theater there is not good. It's basically the State side equivalent of a dollar theater. If you remember, for DFW folks, if you remember the Cinemak ten and Plano that used to be a premier movie theater back in the nineties, eventually became a dollar movie theater because they never updated it and just left it as it was, so before it finally died, it was just a dollar theater.

20:13 That's what our theater on Saint Thomas is like. So not greatly ventilated. Sometimes the arizon, sometimes it's not. A guy walked in one of the last movies we saw there. Guy walked in halfway through, like near the end of the movie, making all sorts of noise, and his cologne was so horrible it was distracting during the movie. And it was not being sucked out of the room the way you would hope. It was just bad. It wasn't so bad that we had to leave, partly because it's near the end of the film. I'm committed, I'm not leaving now. But that was bad. And look, nothing can ruin the movie theater experience faster and more efficiently than a horrible person, a stinky person, loud person whatever, and it's getting worse. It used to be back in the day that people wore more considerate They were trying, at least trying to eat the popcorn a little bit quieter.

21:13 They would try to wait to open up the plastic bag on the Eminem's when action was happening, as opposed to a quiet part. At least, that was my experience growing up. Nowadays, people just don't give en f about anything. They just do whatever they want and don't care about anybody else's experience. Especially phones mmm mm hmm and just talking in the movie. Yep, m hmm. Hell. I remember going to see The Three Amigos with my dad in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, at the Pin Theater, so not even the main theater like the other theater that they had, And there was six of us in the movie theater, all six of us completely considerate of one another. No one coughed, no one farted, no one opened up an eminem package, no one shook their empty cup of ice.

22:03 So that way, when the singing bush saying, we all heard every note as opposed to wondering what song is she singing. It's just I gotta hate movie theater people are the worst, And luckily I have a buffer, and it's my wife, because every single time we go to a movie theater, if there's a stinky guy, he will sit next to her. She is my stinky guy movie theater filter. So more of an a tractor of that kind of thing maybe, but at least I'm not next to him. So sweet, so romantic and kind of.

22:44 Like when we went to the theater to go see Avengers Endgame and I got the aisle seat, she sits next to me, and stinky sweatpants guy wearing his Captain America t shirt tucked into his stinky sweatpants sits next to her, and he clearly had not been outside in weeks, but he came out to see Avengers in game and made sure he sat in the seat next to my wife. So for three hours she got to inhale him. She must have a tolerance for it. Hey, I don't like your insinuation. Let's get Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration into the Treehouse eight three three. COOKDFW is the phone number to get your free roof inspection and property review scheduled.

23:33 The website cookdfw dot com. I'm going to say some scary words, Daniel, super l Nino and the effect that is going to have on weather, especially in the North Texas area. You know you're right. I mean, just our officially in going into the super al Nino. The reason why is because it's warm than a regular al Nino, and it does prelude that we will have a wetter, higher rain percentage than a normal year or shall we say on al Nina. So there are some differences, speculations. Nothing is set in stone. This is not a guarantee that we're going to have a deluge of water for the next year. I mean, that's just not what it means. Scientific data says, hey, we might have a wetter than normal, we could have more storms.

24:30 It could be just a lot of rain. We all need to go out and build arcs. I don't know, but I mean be prepared. The moral of the story is every day you live in North Texas, especially in North Texas, be prepared. Know how your home is sitting, Know how your roof is looks, Know how your windows are working.

Daniel Cook sent me a video the other day and he was on somebody's roof, of course, and he was talking about how this homeowner had storm damage from two previous storms years before, like like two years before and like five years before that, and because the homeowner never got the roof checked for damage, wherein tear happened after the storm damage. So now they're trying to sell the home and insurance is not going to cover the roof damage from any storm related stuff because there's so much wear and tear on it. They're just saying, too bad, that's wearing Tarry bubb So they're going to be out of pocket when it's so, they're going to be out of pocket trying to replace this roof just so they can.

We still have the massager that ruined the whole relationship, and it's still out there. What am I talking about? We'll get to that in just a little bit here inside the treehouse. I'm Dan, He's trade. That's Jerry. Today is Thursday, August sixth, twenty twenty six. Let's celebrate today with some birthday some pretty good throwback ones.

27:05 Today. Jerry Hollowell, best known as Ginger Spice from The Spice Girls, is fifty four today. The Edge from You two is sixty five today, and I still have not forgiven you too for their takeover of my iPhone on that album release. God I'd forgotten about that. I have not I I had too. That makes me so That is one of the biggest unexpected f ups that I have seen in modern times, where they thought, hey, this sounds like a great idea, we can just give everyone our album immediately on their phones, and everyone's like, the you doing in my phone? I don't want this. I mean, you talk about one of the great reality checks in the history of pop culture, That's one of them. Because to a man, I guarantee you, everyone in You two thought that everyone was going to just lose their mind and be so happy and excited that they wake up to this U two album on their phone like Santa had left it for them, and then they found out real fast they not everyone loves you dudes.

28:25 Ms. There's something that Trump's that and always will. Is it something you can say out loud. Two words Chinese democracy? Oh, he's not making a political statement. That's an album that was the Yeah, decades long awaited Guns N' Roses album that was absolutely fucking horrendous, Like I Appetite for Destruction will always be one of my top three favorite albums. You could play it start to finish, I mean, and I think part of it was the timing of it and where it was all like the hair bands and kind of glam rock whatever, not that it was bad. I mean, you have Bonjovi, Poison whatever.

29:20 And then all of a sudden, Guns and Roses came along and they were just, I don't know, there was a something about their sound. You were like, holy shit, this is amazing. Yeah. They were the bridge between the sort of the the hair bands of the eighties. Keep in mind, Guns and Roses is an eighties band, but they were the bridge sort of genre wise, between some of the hair band sound and some of the Metallica more metal sound. They were right in between there, and they were so freaking good. Yeah. They were where everything else was kind of pretty and you know, big hair like they just more raw. I don't know if that's the right word.

30:01 But and then Use Your Illusion was actually a very good album. There was one in between, I can't think of it. It had patience, so you know, always a good song, all right, patients are used to love her. Anyways. I was gonna say, it's funny that I know the song that you're talking about, because if I could pick an anthem for your love life, it would be guns n' Roses patients. I used to love her. No, that's no, I used to love her. That's a different song, but yeah, I used to love her. Oh that's right, My bad. No, no, no, I made the same mistake. But so I mean, I think used your Illusion came out in like ninety two, ninety three somewhere around. There, and then we waited fifteen years.

30:45 I can't remember when Chinese Democracy came out, but it was years and years later, and it was so everyone was just baited breath, like, oh my god, it's finally even though Slash wasn't going to be on it, you were just hoping. God it was a piece of crap. Yeah, that was a massive flop. Massive massive flop came out in two thousand and eight, Chinese Democracy. Man. Oh eight was a rough. Year for everybody. Yeah, the economy took a nosedive Chinese Democracy came out. Maybe maybe that's the reason why the economy took it dumb. That everyone a lot of people wasted, you know, eighteen bucks on buying the damn thing.

31:32 Stock market took a dive. Everyone started losing houses because they spent eighteen dollars in one of the worst rock albums in history. Thanks a lot, guns and roses. Other birthdays today, this one, I'll make your heart happy. Okay, Whenever I see this name, it always brings a smile. So lay Moonfry is fifty today. I don't even care that it makes me feel old that she's fifty. But Brewster is fifty, and that makes me happy. I wonder how she looks these days. She held up. I mean, she looked good for a while. I'm not sure. I've not seen her recently. The last thing I remember seeing her in was when she had a guest spot on Friends where she was dating Joey, and she looked great then. But you know, granted that was, you know, twenty years ago, maybe more.

32:25 She still looks pretty good. Yeah, yeah, oh yeah. Well she's fifty, Tray, she's in your wheelhouse. Send her a DM. There you go, sled right in there. Show her a photo of your new puppy. There you go. Oh, Lily's gonna get used. She's not just your new best friend, She's also she also has a mission. Michelle Yo is sixty four. She is the Academy Award winner for Everything, Everywhere, All at Once, The star of Crouching Tiger, Hidden, Dragon, Star Trek, Discovery, and tons and tons of other movies, including her turn in Chong Chi the Marvel movie. She was wonderful in that great actress, and it's nice to see that she's been able to do some roles that have not just been centered on her kicking people in the face, like people can see that she's just a talented actress period.

33:26 And is you know, more than just you know Kiki. Crazy Rich Asians. Yes, actually a great movie. I still have not seen that. I've heard nothing but great things and it's been on my watch list for so long, but I haven't done it yet. I will tell you this though, since my wife is a very accomplished wedding planner. The acoustic song that's in there, Crazy Rich Asians is sort of like the theme song to that movie. Brides Love love playing that song as they walk down to Sandy Isle. And one more really notable birthday I want to for out here, actually two too. Sorry. Melissa George is fifty. Honest to god, I can't even picture her in my mind, but because of what movie she's been in, I love this.

34:09 She's known for Alias Grey's Anatomy and if you've not seen this ultra violent vampire movie, Get on it. She's also in Thirty Days of Night. This is one of those movies that actually had Josh hartn in it, kind of in his weird stage when he wasn't really big anymore, but he wasn't nothing. Thirty Days of Night is one of the great vampire movies that I don't think a lot of people have seen. It's a great premise. It's this town in Alaska, and you know how Alaska in the sun and orbits work there are you know, you go far enough north on the planet Earth, you're going to find towns and countries that don't see the sun for a good long time, which, in other words, is perfect for a vampire. So again, if you have not seen Thirty Days of Night, watch it. That's a lot of fun. That's a fun vampire movie.

35:02 I've I know who you're talking about, but it goes back like she was in early two thousands movies. But mm hmm, yeah, vaguely familiar. But yeah, I just mentioned her for her birthday, so I can mention Thirty Days of Night. That's and and that's one of those where in that that vampire movie, the vampires in that movie have some really scary teeth. Because your movie recommendations carry so much fucking. Weight, dude, I'm telling you it's a fun movie. I will tell you. I will tell you when it's a bad movie you shouldn't watch it, or that it's so bad. I like it, but you probably won't. Thirty Days of Night is a fun vampire flick, that's all I'm It's not Citizen Kane, it's not The Godfather. It's a fun, gory vampire flick. You'll enjoy it.

35:52 Tell us about rat again. It's terrible, but I had a BMX bookie. I saw it as a kid. It has a little nostalgia twine in my heart. And final final birthday today, m Night Shyamalan fifty six. We just talked about him. I thought, I swear m. We actually just talked about him and Josh Hartnett the other day because I think it was Josh Hartnet's birthday, and we talked about the movie he and Hartkneitt did called Trap, where it is the serial Killer and m Night Shyamalan wrote and directed it and also stuck his daughter front and center so he could bolster her music career, and you want to talk about major pop culture flops, m Night Shyamalan has certainly experienced those. Riding a high wave and then you put out a movie and everyone's like, well, that was terrible. And now when you see a movie and they say directed by m Night Shyamalan, we're all kind of like, man, I don't know, it could be awesomer, it could just be terrible. We're not really going to know until we see it.

36:59 Yeah, his his movies really are. They seem to be one end of the spectrum or the other. There's really not a lot of middle ground, right, and he he never got big enough where like Spielberg can release a flop and it's okay, you no one's gonna remember that. But yeah, they definitely remember his. Hard I don't think anyone's forgiven him for the Happening or the Lady in. The Water. Signs. I can't. I'll defend him on Signs. I loved Signs. I thought that was really really good. Okay, I mean it's it.

37:43 It had a lot of promise. It's gotta, it's gotta, you know. I think Alien Nation did the whole thing about being allergic to water a lot better than he did. Hm hmmm, because it's like they've they appear to be carbon based life forms, and so they have to have water. So why would aliens that are smart enough to travel all that way through interstellar space to come to this planet? Would be so stupid? Is to walk around naked on a planet that's covered in a substance that they're allergic to. You have put way more thought into this than Trey and I have. Hey, my biggest complaint about Signs was that you had Joaquin Phoenix portraying some amazing baseball player and when he picks up a bat in the final scene, it looks like he's never touched one in his life.

38:30 No matter how big his flops are, he can always go Hey, at least I'm not the KZPS morning show. God damn, where is my pause button? Do you feel restless and anxious?

39:15 Trey, what did you say, Lily your new dog did after that last segment? Hey, if she even woke up and like looked up at me give a little whine and then it was like, I won't be on the floor again. Damn, Daddy's mean. All right, back inside the treehouse, Dan and Trey and Jerry, it is time for the end of the week stupid news of palooza. Here inside the treehouse. Four Dallas Police officers were among those caught in the Dallas World Cup prostitution crackdown.

39:55 Guys. H percentage wise, they were really low for the total number of arrests, but the fact that they were in there at all is bad. Operation Safe Streets resulted in three hundred and thirty five arrests for prostitution and sex trafficking during the Dallas World Cup. Four of those were Dallas Police officers. It was publicized, everyone knew they were running stings. Come on, man, there really weren't even that many games in Dallas at the time.

40:39 It's like, for what three weeks or so, It's just a period where you just don't don't do that. I mean you shouldn't do it at all. Let's make that very clear. Don't do that at all. But you're on the side of the stings, you should know better. I mean, even on the public side. We knew all this stuff was going to be heightened as the World Cup stuff was happening in North Texas. They just can't help themselves. Then you always go apply at Lewisville. Well, they do have experience, all right.

41:22 So we've all lamented the downfall of Spirit Airlines, but there is an Australian airline that is seeking the crown of the cheapest airline, and not just by monetary fare, but just by the entire business model of charging you for everything. Jetstar is an Australian airline and it is going to now charge passengers to use the overhead bins for their bags. Even Spirit Airlines didn't. Charge for that. Wow, maybe they should have.

42:04 Uh for passengers on the budget Australian airline Jetstar. The days of cramming your bag into an overhead locker already full of your seat mate's full sized suitcases are coming to an end. But there is a catch. The carrier is going to charge passengers for stowing carrying on bags in the overhead compartments, beginning in February twenty twenty seven. This came after passengers and airline staff named having bags weighed at the gate and struggling to find room in overhead lockers as the more stressful parts of their airport experience, which honestly could be made up as an excuse to just justify charging people for the overhead access. But let me point out it is true that a lot of us are stuffing our carrying ons with really heavy stuff to get in that overhead compartment, because if you're carrying it on, you don't have to weigh it.

42:56 You just got to be able to. Carry it or roll it through the terminal, and then you got to pick it up and put it in the bin. I've done it, I'll admit it. I have traveled across the country with broadcast equipment that probably weighed forty pounds by itself, and I've picked that thing up and put it in the overhead bin. But it was in the normal roller carrying on things, so it fit. It was just heavy. I mean, I don't I don't blame them. I think people will get I think people try to carry on too much crap. It's really not that big of a deal to check a bag, you know, I don't know, I don't know when. I guess somewhere post nine to eleven that everyone hated carry checking in a bag and everyone tried to, you know, carry it all on.

43:41 It's like, it's ten to fifteen minutes typically you're not it's not going to really make that much of a difference. And it actually, to me, it makes the flying experience much easier because you're not trying to find space in the overhead bind or do what are you just stroll on? Get your seat. God, I missed the Spirit Airlines, big comfy seats up front. Yeah. And there for a while there was a spate of luggage being lost that it kind of it kind of spiked a lot higher than it would be normally. And that's when I learned how to pack for six days in a double bag or carry on.

44:25 I have had luggage lost. It's an awful, awful experience. But I mean it was back. I think it was Northwest Airlines. I mean they were just, oh wow, the crappiest airline ever. And I mean it was the worst it lost in Detroit and I was going to Quebec and it took him like it was going for a wedding and all my clothes in there and I was in the wedding. Yeah, oh so I learned. I think. I think the thing you can do to you sort of navigate that is one. It depends on the trip if you can find a way to get it where it's just minimal packing and it's only carry on stuff. Cool, you're right, trade There is sort of a relaxation that comes from not having because when all your stuff is with you in the carry on bag, then you need to make sure you get on that plane so you get overhead compartment space.

45:15 Right. But if you just pack it all in the carry on, then yeah, you don't have to worry about it as much. It might be a little more laid back, but all it takes is one time when they lose your luggage and you don't have it for a little while to when you realize you have to pack smart, whether it's carry on or checking stuff. So if you're checking a bag, make sure you have essentials that you need on your carrying on with you, your toilet trees, all that, like, make sure you've got essentials on you so you don't lose. Yeah, a change or two of clothes in that bag. Yeah, I don't even care about.

45:56 So much that I'll pack like a change of underwear because I can buy a shirt, I you know, typically whatever, but I toothbrush, contact solution, deodorant, hair joel, stuff like that. Yeah. I will still try to carry on with me because as long as you have that stuff, you're going to be okay. Yeah, Cyclospora is still out there. Went quiet for a little while, didn't you hear a whole lot about it? But now it is. The cyclospora outbreak is now in fifteen states. This food borne illness linked to shredded iceberg lettuce has now been connected to six additional states. I honestly, I can't keep up with how many states have been affected. This story is saying fifteen. I thought it was more than that. Yes, health official say the outbreak is caused by cyclospora, the parasite that can lead to severe diarrhea and dehydration. More than twenty two thousand suspected or confirmed cases and over five hundred hospitalizations have been reported nationwide, and two debts in Michigan.

47:03 Where I just was. Granted, those people that died had underlying health conditions. I don't know what they were, but so it wasn't like they were in peak health in some way and then they you know, shit themselves to death, which would obviously be a god awful way to go. Investigators have traced many cases to recalled Taylor Farms iceberg let us imported from Central Mexico, though officials are still examining whether or not other sources may be involved. Like the last time we talked about this, the FDA was sending out an apology letter saying they had a false positive with a tailor farm's inspection. And then it came out and was like, well, that was a false positive, but then there was another test that still said it probably is them.

47:44 At the end of the day, they really still don't know, no, And. This is this goes back to the problem of how badly they handled COVID is. People just don't listen to the government anymore, you know, because and like I had really forgotten about this. I was listening to something the other day. I had totally forgotten the. BS at the beginning of COVID, how they you know, you had to disinfect every surface because they were saying, oh it can it can last on packages for a week, and it's like, no, it can't. Oh it doesn't. And you know that was complete bs. And then you go back and you find out amazingly.

48:24 Lyesol had a deal with the CDC, and you go, h, I don't think it was. But I think the CDC, you know, hogged all the Lyesol because you wouldn't buy Lysol for ever. Yeah it was. Yeah, I'm with you. I don't think it was a planned promotion. I don't think COVID. I don't think the COVID pandemic was a promotion to sell Liesol, although I'm sure Lyesol's thinking I wish we had thought of that, but worked out for us either way. Uh, but yeah, it's it. The mission. The misinformation through all of that has just made everyone just kind of do like they're like, give everything a little bit of a RCA dog like, well, it's.

49:08 Like and I'll remain a political on it. But then you go back and you see this the Fauci. Diaries, and. You knew all along that masking and all this other stuff was ineffective and that you were pushing it on everybody, and and for me, you just go back and you look at the number of people who lost their homes, their businesses, everything else because of stuff they knew was ineffective, but yet they were doing it anyways, basically from what I think, just to look like the government was doing something from you know, six feet separation and masking everything else, which really and at the end of the day, COVID really wasn't that lethal, but we treated.

49:49 It like like it was gonna be, you know, wipe out half the population. It didn't, but it did kill my friend Alan Hollis. I understand, I have no people, and this. Is the guy that you know. So it's like, I'm just saying that I don't like it when I don't know how much of everything you just said, how accurate it is. I know that you believe it to be, so I believe you. I haven't followed all that stuff to the level that a lot of people have, but I do know the impact that you know, eight hundred thousand Americans or maybe more that died from it, Uh that should not should should not be lessened. No, they didn't. You got to remember everything. If you were in the hospital and you died it was COVID.

50:32 Now, I did hear a bunch of that that a lot of people would write that type of stuff down. Well that was now and I heard that myself, But I don't know how much of that is true. But for the CDC, point one tenth of one percent of COVID people was fatal the actual COVID deaths, So it was not the great And I know people that died, but I also I know two people who died that were blamed that official cause of death was COVID and know they had cancer m but a lot of that is the way hospitals are funded, and they knew every COVID death meant more money. I can't get into all the veracity of all that stuff because a lot of it is anecdotal and you know, barring an outright you know, investigation to really find out the truth on it, which obviously is not going to happen.

51:23 Well, another thing is you know the whole deal it was a wet market. No, it was a lablique started a Wuhand where they had the Wuhand Center for Coronavirus Research. And can we just say, I think we all can agree on this not to call it the wu Hand Center, because that sounds like a place that's full of fun and triviality like wu Hand. Okay, the BSL for wu Hand Research Facility dedicated to coronavirus research. See that sounds more serious. Yeah, I'd pay attention to that more. And it's not so much rehash COVID. It's just so much of what they did.

52:09 They'll never get away with it again, and there may come a time where they really need to have to do that. There definitely could be a virus that comes along in the future where everyone really does need to be really precautious and stay indoors and everything else and everyone because of that, everyone's going to go screw you. That's what the travesty of that whole thing was. We had a good practice run for something that could be absolutely deadly serious, and it was bungled from top to bottom. Well see speaking of bottoms. Nice tray knows. I from relationship advice on Reddit. I'm a twenty nine year old male. My girlfriend is a thirty female. I suggested to my girlfriend that I use a prostate massage. You're during sex. Now our relationship is falling apart.

53:02 How do I navigate this? Situation floor as yours, Dan, how did you broach the subject? Really? And twenty nine two things number one start small number two. If she can't handle a request like that in the bedroom, then you need to go out there and find you a real man who will.
