WHY is Mark Cuban selling the Mavericks?!

WEBVTT

1
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:33.079
Congratulations, you have made it.
It's a Fried day. It's time to

2
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:37.960
leave your worries outside. Take all
the stresses from the week, throw them

3
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:42.200
in the trash, and hang out
with your buddies, Me, Daniel Maley,

4
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:50.320
Trade Trenholm, and Raj Sharma inside
the treehouse. Oh man, it

5
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:57.119
has been a big week in Dallas
Fort Worth, not just for us as

6
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:06.159
sports fans, as basketball fans,
but also just you know, fans of

7
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:12.879
people that do mostly good things.
And I'm pretty sure the only person that

8
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:21.319
couldn't be happier in Dallas for Worth
is Mark Cuban. He is, you

9
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:25.920
know, I've you can write books
on being the greatest negotiator or whatever it

10
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:34.480
is that you say about yourself,
But when someone actually does it and seemingly

11
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:40.400
negotiates a deal to not only make
three and a half billion dollars but still

12
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:48.680
maintain operational control of the Mavericks franchise, I mean yeah, I mean well

13
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:53.400
time. Because the lady that he's
selling the team to is no idiot.

14
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.480
I mean, she's worth like thirty
six billion dollars, so that usually doesn't

15
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:01.239
happen by accident. And even if
she is a moron, she's got plenty

16
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:06.480
of people around her that or not, they managed to get this thing done

17
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.520
and it's one of those that we
didn't even hear about it until it was

18
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:14.479
done, and it kind of kind
of shocked everybody. Yeah, but the

19
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.000
person that he's selling it to is
also nine hundred years old, so I'm

20
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:22.000
pretty sure she just wants to amass
all the wealth. And so when he

21
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.919
came with the deal, like hey, or maybe she didn't turn her hearing

22
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:28.400
aid on, I don't know what
it was, but maybe he tricked her

23
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:30.960
and was like, hey, listen, I'm gonna give I want you to

24
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:32.280
give me three and a half million
dollars and she's like, okay, that's

25
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.759
a drop in the bucket for me. And then I'm also going to remain,

26
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.120
you know, keep control of basketball
operations if that's okay with you.

27
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:43.400
And she's like what and she's like
He's like, yes, sign here and

28
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.879
yeah. Because she doesn't want to
be there, there's no way you don't

29
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:53.280
know that she might be she might
be an MFFL. I don't what does

30
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:58.639
that stand for? Wife? Huh? How have you lived in Dallas the

31
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.759
last fifteen years? I don't know
that. I don't know what that's say

32
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:07.960
it again, m F f L. I've seen it everywhere, T shirts,

33
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:12.599
banners. I don't. I don't
hang out where you hang out.

34
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.879
I don't know, Like, wait, what does it stand for? Mavericks

35
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:20.120
over this? It has been all
over this city. Oh yeah, I

36
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.800
know that, Okay. I didn't
know they they'd shortened Mavericks fan for life.

37
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:27.520
I didn't know they'd made it a
thing. Got uh, I don't.

38
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.719
I'm pretty sure she invented basketball.
That's who he's selling it to.

39
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:34.240
The original was her. She was
It was actually her, not James Nasmith

40
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.800
exactly. She's yeah, but you
know it was back then, like women

41
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:40.039
weren't allowed to get credit for anything. So he was like, hey,

42
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:44.439
show me where where to put this
little ring in the ball, and like,

43
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:46.599
this is a game I play on
the farm. And he's like,

44
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.680
we're going to make this mainstream.
And now she's taking it back in twenty

45
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.800
twenty three, and good on him, man, he's he's one of the

46
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:58.199
luckiest people world. Broadcast dot Com
we all remember that when he started that

47
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:02.159
and then sold it, and Time
magazine called it the three billion dollar mistake

48
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:06.800
because they they did nothing with broadcast
dot Com like it just went nowhere,

49
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:13.919
like uh, and then I was
that was how it was. Yeah,

50
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.279
And not only was he brilliant and
he sold it, but then he the

51
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:20.800
minute he could, he dumped all
the Yahoo stock and took the cash.

52
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.959
Yeah, that's exactly what it was. And that's why Time magazine said,

53
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:26.959
Yeah, yeah, who makes a
three billion dollar mistake? I think it

54
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.600
was the cover at one point,
And good on him. I have a

55
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.720
buddy of mine who worked for him
when they first started out and was paid

56
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:39.199
very little and was told, I'm
going to give you stock options and trust

57
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:41.959
me, one day it'll pay off. And my buddy stayed there, and

58
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.279
he stayed there, and he stayed
there, and he was going broke.

59
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.120
He was bartending at night and working
at broadcasts dot Com during the day.

60
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:53.519
And then one day they sold and
he retired the next day. So good

61
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.720
for him. Yeah, very good
for him, and I'm glad it's interesting

62
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:58.879
too. I don't know if you
guys read this, but he's also looking

63
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:02.480
for his replacement on Shark Tank,
so he's getting done with the Mavericks and

64
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.240
he's getting done with Shark Tank.
So I think he just wants to know

65
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:12.439
and because of those two things.
All the rumors were just on fire as

66
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.800
to the reasons why all of a
sudden he's selling the MAVs, why he's

67
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:21.360
stepping down from Shark Tank. And
instead of people paying attention to what he's

68
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:28.519
been saying in recent history about wanting
to bring a resortant casino along with a

69
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:32.199
new arena for the Mavericks to Dallas, they're all thinking, oh, he's

70
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:39.079
running for president. Or my favorite
was someone on Twitter head post Wage actually

71
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:46.720
runs an FFL account saying, oh, he's broke. The third conspiracy is

72
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:51.600
and you have to go back and
remember when the NBA was stripping Donald Sterling

73
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:56.680
of his team, Cuban was like, do we really want to go this

74
00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.600
far? And yeah, and then
the MAVs had their whole blow up of

75
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:01.319
you know, is really a bad
culture there. And so now you know,

76
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.399
there are other people who are thinking, he's, you know, doing

77
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:08.199
this because something's about to come out
that he was gonna lose the team and

78
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:14.319
so he's divesting himself. Yeah.
My first guess was, like, my

79
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:18.480
first thought wasn't I just from movies. I'm like, he's dying, He's

80
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:23.439
like he's gonna just he's just gonna
give all his wealth away, And then

81
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:27.040
I thought what would Raj do?
And I'm like, uh, I'm tired

82
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.040
of working. Uh, you're just
You're giving me three billion dollars and I

83
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:33.040
can f off. Now, all
right, I'll see you guys later.

84
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.000
If I want to build a casino, I might just do that. Want

85
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:40.399
to build a new arena, Sure, I'll get around to that one day,

86
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:43.560
you know what I mean. But
he's still young, young enough to

87
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:46.120
where he can just sit around and
enjoy his money. I'm not saying that

88
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:47.319
I don't know what he does.
I'm not saying that he doesn't. I'm

89
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:51.360
just saying, you know what,
let's step away from oh, the ownership

90
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:58.120
side of the team and basketball operations
and the draft and all that. I'll

91
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:01.360
I'll help out with that, because
that lady, I believe still reads in

92
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:09.720
hieroglyphics. I don't know she you
know, she's not that old Latin.

93
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:21.079
Have you seen the language? May
be dead, but she's still kicking.

94
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:28.079
Yeah. The Dallas Maverick's, one
of the most valuable sports franchises in the

95
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:31.160
world, are set to undergo a
major change in ownership. Owner Mark Cuban

96
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:36.519
confirmed NBC five his plans to sell
a majority stake in the team to billionaire

97
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:43.279
Miriam Adelson and her family for three
and a half billion dollars. The deal

98
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:46.560
could shake up the professional basketball world
and have far reaching implications for the sport.

99
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:54.199
Cuban would maintain operational control even though
the Addlesons would own a greater than

100
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:58.920
fifty percent steak in the team.
The news comes days after Mark Cuban,

101
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:03.240
who's sixty five, revealed that after
being on ABC Shark Tink for over ten

102
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:09.240
years, the sixteenth season will be
his last. Also, Mark Cuban confirmed

103
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.920
the NBC five that a possible agreement
between Mark Cuban and the Las Vegas Sands

104
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:18.120
Corporations in the works, which would
merge their interests to create a Dallas resort,

105
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.560
casino, and arena. However,
that deal is still penning approval by

106
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:26.160
the NBA Board of Governors, and
the plan is to proceed with the project

107
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:33.320
if gambling is legalized in Texas,
and that is a big if, big

108
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.879
big if, because there are two
things that's at the state of Texas has

109
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:43.440
not legalized yet that I'm still stunned
that it hasn't. That is weed and

110
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:52.720
gambling. You're stunned. Really,
Yes, when Oklahoma, yes, is

111
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:58.000
ahead of Texas on anything that should
be troubling. But when Oklahoma managed to

112
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:03.759
pass its weed stuff, all of
us in Texas are thinking, really they

113
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:09.399
got over it. But Texas still
can't unclench. We can't. We can't

114
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.639
serve out. You can't buy alcohol
on a Sunday because Jesus doesn't like it.

115
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:18.159
That's that's where we are, like, we let's start out there before

116
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:22.360
we before we get before we start
getting our hopes up for weed and casinos.

117
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.279
God forbid you combine the two.
Let's let's see if we can get

118
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:31.360
some Let's see if we can get
whiskey on Sunday. And this is how

119
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:35.679
I love. This is just tell
you about Texas. The sometimes the Cowboys

120
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:41.080
play at noon on a Sunday,
that's TV time, which means stadium opens

121
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.519
at ten or nine forty five or
whatever it is. And you're not supposed

122
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.799
to buy alcohol. You can't buy
beer or wine or whatever until eleven.

123
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.080
And Jerry Jones just went to the
State of Texas was like, I'd like

124
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:56.919
to start serving everything early. They're
like, amen, done, But you

125
00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:01.519
can't go across the street to the
Walmart and buy it right, correct,

126
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.399
But Jerry says, so like the
Cowboys need you to be drunk to watch

127
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:09.320
the game, and Jesus is okay
with that. So that's there's always been

128
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:15.840
a loophole on that of on Sundays, if you're serving food, you could

129
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.879
start serving if you're if you're a
restaurant, bar restaurant, which is what

130
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.919
the stadium is. Uh, I
think after ten it's a yeah, the

131
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.080
stadium. The stadium is a bar
restaurant. Mm hmm, I think I

132
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:31.799
think on it's LLC. Yeah,
I mean Cowboys, bart and grill.

133
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:37.159
I mean, hey, you go
to the t ABC reports, it reports

134
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:43.080
like American Airlines, like all those
places they are they are their own entities

135
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.679
as far as you know, liquor
sales. Wow, okay, uh yeah,

136
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.240
but that's still pretty amazing that he
just got them to change the hours

137
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.360
because uh, Jesus isn't looking.
Maybe he's sleep. Hey there's joelse you're

138
00:10:54.399 --> 00:11:01.960
speaking of in the way. Yeah, I I forgot what we were talking

139
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.600
about. It just not because it's
not the dog. That's how stunned you

140
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:11.080
are that that Cowboys stadium in Arlington
is Yeah, I can't really a huge

141
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.919
freaking TGI Fridays. Yeah, and
so if we can't, if we can,

142
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:16.919
Like that was the thing that I
loved about l A. I remember

143
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:18.080
the first time I moved to Los
Angeles, I went to the seven to

144
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:22.240
eleven that was right across the street
from my house just to grab some quick

145
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.159
things instead of driving all the way
over wherever. And I walked in and

146
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:30.840
I saw a guy holding a bobbly
Jaeger and I was like, he's gonna

147
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.120
get kicked out of here, Like
what's happening? And then I started looking

148
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:39.120
around. I'm like, Oh,
we're not in Texas. We're in the

149
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:41.480
land of Heathens, yes, and
the Devil. And I was like,

150
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:48.759
this is amazing. And when I
found out like Albertson's and like the their

151
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.480
version of h B or whatever all
have their own distilleries. So they have

152
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:54.360
their own version, like you can
go and buy a handle of vodka for

153
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:58.120
like six bucks in LA back then, and I was like I would come

154
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.600
back and I just got used to
it. I'd come back here and I'm

155
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:03.399
like, hey, let's go grab
you know, a bottle of whiskey or

156
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.759
whatever. They're like, oh,
what's ten I was like, what is

157
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:07.519
that or it's nine And I was
like, what does that have to do

158
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:11.200
with anything, Like, well,
you can't buy that here anymore. I

159
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.879
was like, oh, we're still
there. Weed will never happen. Weed

160
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.360
will never happen. It'll we already
they did it. That medical is legal

161
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.559
now and you know, give it
bright two four years. The more interesting

162
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:26.960
part of this is the biggest lobby
against Texas having a casino has always been

163
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:31.679
Vegas, because we are the number
one feeter of Vegas and the fact that

164
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:37.519
the Sanes Corporation is going into business
Vegas must know they're going to have to

165
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:39.879
acquiesce, and so instead of fight
it, they're going to be on the

166
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.559
forefront and start building them. I
just love it, and that's the way

167
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:48.039
I see it. I think that
I think that's the smart play instead of

168
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:54.080
saying no, we want you to
come here to spend your money, just

169
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.320
go to the people and give them
some of it, but still make Vegas

170
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:03.200
a kick ass destination you can.
This is one of those great examples of

171
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.120
as a casino you can have your
cake and eat it too. In Dallas.

172
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.639
Yeah, I love the idea when
you're saying that we do and there's

173
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:13.399
like chartered flights out of here to
go to Vegas. But I just love

174
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:18.000
the idea that like Texas legalizes casinos
and then you just show up in Vegas

175
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.120
one day and just tumble weed going
down the streets, like whereas everybody they

176
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:26.679
all stayed in Texas. And I
don't think that's gonna be the case.

177
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:31.360
I still think people that leave Dallas
to go to Vegas will still do it,

178
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:39.559
yeah, because it's sort of like
having like you'll have a really nice

179
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:46.320
resort and casino in Dallas at some
point in Houston maybe maybe Midland or Lubbock

180
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.399
or Amarillo, you get like the
Panhandle Resort or something, but you make

181
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:56.080
them very nice, just not as
kick ass as the stuff in Vegas,

182
00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.960
so you still have to draw.
But then you can still make money hand

183
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:05.039
over fist in Texas with a casino
and that's you know, And I eventually

184
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:09.200
I think it'll happen. But it's
interesting to see Mark Cuban really be at

185
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:13.480
the forefront and pushing for it.
Yeah, I just love I love that

186
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:18.000
he's he's always been a pioneer when
he's to do that with just changing the

187
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:20.919
culture inside the locker room of the
Mavericks like he was giving them incentives and

188
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:24.720
he was just like that we're talking
about, like the dad with the belt.

189
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.799
He would take those incentives away.
So he had like I remember that

190
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:31.919
every locker had like their own PlayStation
or whatever. And if you, if

191
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:33.799
you, if you didn't perform to
his whatever, he would take your PlayStation

192
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:39.240
away. That's so fantastic. It's
like, what'd you do this week?

193
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:41.720
Did you dunk? Did you dunk? Like no, It's like, give

194
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:46.200
me the PlayStation, Give me the
PlayStation. How many? How many threes

195
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:48.879
did you hit? Just the one? What did I tell you three?

196
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:52.960
Give me the give me the PlayStation. Let's go get out of here.

197
00:14:52.240 --> 00:15:00.879
Also, no hot water, only
cold showers for you. No Russian models

198
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:07.200
for you. Bad so yeah,
huge news. Mark Cuban selling the Mavericks

199
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:11.799
to an old lady and her family
for lots of money because he he he

200
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:16.720
bought the Mavericks originally for I believe
the sum was two hundred and eighty five

201
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:22.159
million dollars and now three and a
half billion dollars in his pocket. Not

202
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:26.440
a bad payday for him to go
lead the charge to According to what he

203
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:31.559
says, bring a resorting casino.
And a new arena for the Mavericks to

204
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:35.519
Dallas. Yeah, that's gonna be
if it all, If it all happens,

205
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:37.840
If it all and he's got,
you know, the connections and all

206
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:39.799
that to make it happen. If
it does, that's gonna be great for

207
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.279
the city. It's great for the
state. Well, I think if you're

208
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:48.360
in the gambling business and I'm I'm
a Vegas casino, I'm less worried about

209
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:54.519
a casino in Dallas. Then say
if I was running the Indian casinos in

210
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.679
Oklahoma, that's who's gonna get hit
the hardest by a Dallas casino. Yeah,

211
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.639
oh for sure, for sure.
But I you know, is there

212
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:08.080
enough I don't know. Is there
enough traffic in Oklahoma? Dan, you

213
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:18.000
live there, you can not since
nineteen eighty eight. I'm just saying it,

214
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:22.720
is there enough traffic in that state
to keep those like the wind Stars

215
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:29.960
and the Choctaza open. The wind
Star and the Choctaw Durant, those would

216
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:33.200
take hits, but their little satellite, like there's other casinos dotted around the

217
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:37.480
state that are smaller, those will
be fine because you still get the people

218
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:41.759
and I've played blackjack with them,
the people that are taking their paychecks and

219
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.440
hoping to finally hit it big to
where they can go live big in Tulsa

220
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:51.679
like I do now. But I
those you know wind Star right there at

221
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:53.799
the casinos just on the other side
of the border of Oklahoma, those are

222
00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:59.240
ones that are gonna have a bit
of an issue when and if Dallas gets

223
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.359
its own casino. Shreveport will have
probably take the biggest hit because that's just

224
00:17:03.359 --> 00:17:07.839
accesspool. Yeah I didn't, I
didn't think about that. But maybe they'll

225
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:11.759
get entertainment that will bring people in, like like Vegas. Can you know

226
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:18.480
that, maybe they'll make a deal
like Vegas can keep like David Copperfield right

227
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:22.240
at the MG and like maybe the
Horseshoe can have seat freed without roy like

228
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:26.319
whatever. Yeah, But the thing
about it is you have to know it's

229
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.240
Texas. It's there's not gonna be
anything of Oh, we're gonna build it

230
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:34.039
just less than Vegas. It's gonna
be you know, how big, how

231
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:38.880
flashy. You know, it won't
surprise me. And like that sphere in

232
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:42.119
Vegas is one of the coolest things
you'll ever see. It will not surprise

233
00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:45.599
me in the next you know,
twelve to eighteen months, all of a

234
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:48.119
sudden, that's gonna be on the
table of We're gonna get our a big,

235
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:52.279
you know, big glass ball.
Can we just stick it on top

236
00:17:52.319 --> 00:18:00.000
of Reunion Tower because that would actually
make ours better than Vegas is Vegas is

237
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:03.319
very cool, but I mean it's
it's on the ground, and we already

238
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:07.720
got a tower with a ball on
it, so just repurpose it. And

239
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:14.680
now our eyeballs in the sky looking
like Saarron from the Hobbit movies. Or

240
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:15.920
what if? What if we can
get Big Text to put his hand up

241
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:26.599
like that? And now we're talking
sounds to me like Cuba needs to give

242
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.640
us a call and we'll be happy
to lend our expertise to the design team.

243
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:45.799
You just walk inside and it's just
a BUCkies still still pretty good.

244
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:52.160
Big boy or a statue are on
here somewhere. You're listening to the trees.

245
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:57.039
This week at the Dallas Comedy Show, America's got talent. It's DJ

246
00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:00.240
Dinners. I love one when I'm
in a public place and I do something

247
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:04.640
amazing and somebody sees it, give
it. You have like a random moment

248
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:08.119
of greatness and there's witnesses doesn't even
have to be anything vague, like you

249
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:11.119
have you like a knock your hat
off your head and you like catch it

250
00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:18.599
behind your bag. Somebody sees it
like whatever. I was at an airport

251
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:21.400
and I was going through security and
they wouldn't let me take my water through

252
00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:26.200
very dangerous, and so I shrugged
my water and then I was looking around

253
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:29.480
for the nearest recycle bin. I
found it was like fifteen feet away,

254
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.960
and I was like, I'm going
for it, and so I started aiming

255
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.000
at There was no water left in
this, you know, it required a

256
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:40.200
lot of precision, very light,
and then the actual bin just had a

257
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:42.160
tiny little circle just big enough for
a can or a bottle to go into

258
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:45.759
a high degree of difficulty. But
I'm like, I'm doing this, I'm

259
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:49.039
going for it. I throw it, perfect rotation right in the hole just

260
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:52.480
disappeared, and I mean they were
like everybody in line saw the whole thing

261
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:59.000
go down, and uh, you
know, yeah, yeah, thank you,

262
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:03.039
thank you. Mark. Yeah.
I don't I don't want to make

263
00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:07.759
up a story and say they all
started clapping or something, but they wanted

264
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:15.839
to go on. What a rash
that was eight years ago. I still

265
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:21.079
think about it every day. That's

Funny happens here. So on the
heels of the massive news, Mark

279
00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:45.119
Cuban is selling the Mavericks but still
gonna run things, and the possibility of

280
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:52.039
him leading the charge to bringing gambling
to the state of Texas. I think

281
00:21:52.079 --> 00:22:02.599
it's important that we do birthdays celebrate. Really, there's really no cool way

282
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:04.640
to segue into birthdays. It's always
gonna be stupid. But that's why we

283
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:07.720
do it. You don't need to
segue. It stands on its own.

284
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:15.400
It's just it's what everyone's looking forward
to, like a dirt statue or a

285
00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:25.839
Madonna's statue. Are they giving him
one? Yep? Like is it going

286
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:33.160
to be height relative to the dirt
one like a foot lower. I haven't

287
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:34.279
seen the drawing of it. I
just saw that they announced that they're going

288
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:37.920
to put one in front of aac
of Madonna. Yeah this show. Does

289
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:41.160
he get a different entrance compared to
Dirks or are they gonna have like a

290
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:49.519
little like a little monument area.
I don't know. I just they announced

291
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:52.839
it a couple of weeks ago that
they were going to build Madonna a statue.

292
00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:56.799
I don't know if he's going to
get a street and everything else or

293
00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:00.960
just a statue. Yeah, they
should do Dirk, then they should do

294
00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:03.599
Madonna, and then they should do
Jimmy Johnson, It'll just look like the

295
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:11.640
Neandathal Tart Tart or whatever it is, the sports Evolution and Dallas, and

296
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:15.440
it would actually be chronologically accurate because
Jimmy got his Madonna then Dirk. Yeah,

297
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:22.000
there you go. Actually works all
right. Today is Fred Day,

298
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:26.640
December first. We have made it
to December, gentlemen. It's quite a

299
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:34.079
feat Fred Day, December first birthdays
today. Zoeak Kravitz is thirty five today,

300
00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:41.400
already thirty five. She was Catwoman
in The Batman, not regular Batman

301
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:45.759
or any other Batman's but The Batman, which I don't know if you guys

302
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:49.400
saw that, but I really liked
it. I did too. It was

303
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:56.799
to me, it was it was
going back to what the previous Batman movies

304
00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:02.359
did not focus on. That was
a huge part of the comics and the

305
00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:07.680
TV show was that Batman is supposed
to be the world's greatest detective and that's

306
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:14.000
what The Batman focused on, in
addition to the outright brutality, which was

307
00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:22.799
fun. Who's who's in that Robert
Pattinson Zoe Kravitz as as Catwoman, which

308
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.839
I thought was interesting. So in
that movie, Robert Pattinson as the Batman,

309
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:33.599
but she's just Catwoman, not the
Catwoman. But it was really good.

310
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:40.400
I also loved how they they really
treated Pattens as Batman as very ominous

311
00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:45.680
and scary, and you heard like
the heavy footsteps coming from the shadows and

312
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:48.680
then he all of a sudden,
he just appears and strikes fear into the

313
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:52.519
criminals. Like that was cool.
Gotcha. It's a good movie, Roger,

314
00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:57.119
I recommend it. I'll check it
out. On the flip side,

315
00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:03.519
did you see Joker with the uh
Joaquin Phoenix? I did? That was

316
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:11.160
intense. Yeah, that was really
good. And he's just he's just creepy

317
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:15.119
enough to pull that off. Like
that was that role was meant for.

318
00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:19.359
That role was meant for. And
aren't they doing another one? I still

319
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:23.480
haven't seen that one, but I
heard it's just a little disturbing and dark.

320
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:30.640
Huhh. And I think they're doing
another one. Oh that's wild.

321
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:33.880
Okay, Well I believe so,
I believe they are. Yeah, wow,

322
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:37.640
okay, that'd be I can't I
can't wait to see that. That's

323
00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:40.480
that was an incredible movie. I
I didn't think it was good because it

324
00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:42.519
looked kind of silly and I was
like, Is it just Jauquin Phoenix just

325
00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:45.640
trying to be creepy? And then
I watched it, I was like,

326
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:51.319
oh no, no, mission accomplished. He did good. Welid I want,

327
00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:53.079
I do want to see him in
Napoleon because I think that's just such

328
00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:57.079
an odd juxtaposition. I'm there for
it. I mean, I'm sorry.

329
00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:03.319
It's it's Joaquin Phoenix and Ridley Scott. It's a gladiator, you know,

330
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:07.160
reunion type of thing. Yeah,
Joaquin Phoenix's is turning into one of those

331
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:11.359
actors that I'll see him in just
about anything. Yeah, for sure.

332
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:15.319
So Zoby Kravitz is thirty five today. In case you did not know,

333
00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:19.359
she is in fact the daughter of
Lenny Kravitz. She was also in the

334
00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:25.880
Fantastic Beasts movies, and her mom
is Lisa Bonnet from The Cosby Show.

335
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:30.960
Other birthdays today Tyler Joseph, lead
singer of twenty one Pilots. He is

336
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:38.200
thirty five today. Deshaun Jackson is
thirty seven. We've got and I just

337
00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:41.960
remember him as an Eagle, how
much I hated him as an eagle.

338
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:45.119
It's like he's one of those guys
that has one of those punishable faces you

339
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:48.559
just look at him, and he's
just cocky as hell and he's good and

340
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:53.039
you hate it. I loved him
on my fantasy team. I'm sure that

341
00:26:53.480 --> 00:27:00.680
that was always a solid move for
Fantasy. Lincoln Park guitarist Brad Delson turns

342
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:07.079
forty six. I mentioned the Hobbit
Movies earlier. The young Dwarf Feeley in

343
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:11.160
the Hobbit Movies name is Dean O'Gorman. He's forty seven today. Comedian Sarah

344
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:18.799
Silverman is fifty three. Nest Carbonell
is fifty six. I mentioned The Dark

345
00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:23.480
Knight earlier. He was actually the
mayor of Gotham City in the Dark Knight.

346
00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:27.880
He was also, if I remember
correctly, he was on news radio

347
00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:37.000
back in the day with Joe Roses. Also celebrating birthdays today, bet Middler,

348
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:41.119
who was forced upon me from an
early age by my mother, is

349
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:48.680
seventy eight today. My mom loves
Bette Middler loves her albums. I remember

350
00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:56.759
watching Beaches with my mother on more
than one occasion. Oh okay, that's

351
00:27:56.799 --> 00:28:00.880
the reason, Raj, I will
watch some real dumb other stuff is because

352
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:07.960
I was subjected to hardcore mom movies
as a child. Right and then,

353
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:11.039
okay, now that makes sense to
me because you've never prefaced this before.

354
00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:15.400
And then also, therapy wasn't like
big back then. So yeah, I

355
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:21.599
found my therapy in bad karate and
ninja movies. Gotcha. It's because of

356
00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:26.799
Beaches that I have seen every single
American Ninja movie. Right, Michael Dudakoff,

357
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:30.960
the star of those films, Oh, my lord, is deep in

358
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:36.279
my psyche, especially especially when he
came back to the franchise in American Ninja

359
00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:41.000
four. Right, Okay, then
that's that's that should be a syndrome,

360
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:45.880
like a Dudokoff syndrome. It does
sound like a bit of a syndrome,

361
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:48.000
and I'm probably the first person with
it. You should probably cut up my

362
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:52.440
brain and study me. Maybe that's
that. Maybe that's what all the the

363
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:59.640
memory loss is is from all the
Duda coughing. He better appreciated, though.

364
00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:03.119
I'm pretty sure he's got a decent
apartment out of me alone, like

365
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:08.359
at least a really nice one bedroom. Do you think he gets ready because

366
00:29:08.359 --> 00:29:11.359
of the name. Do you think
he gets ready and looks in the mirror

367
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:17.279
and goes and then that's then he
licks his fingers and does the eyebrow thing

368
00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:22.680
spread. He's probably the one that
originated that he just gets done banging a

369
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:30.200
chickens like you just got cough?
Am I the only one that's ever seen

370
00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:36.119
any of those movies? They are
they are spectacularly terrible. They are bad.

371
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:40.480
Yeah, I remember the TV show. I don't know if it was

372
00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:45.079
called American Ninja or just Ninja or
but I don't remember the movies. Oh

373
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:51.920
no, this is what I'm This
is what I'm glad I have immigrant parents.

374
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:56.880
There was no there's no do to
coughing or middle middlering. There's no

375
00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:03.480
middlering coffs. You also get a
healthy dose of Shirley McLain. Oh yeah,

376
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:07.880
mm hmm definitely. No, well
we didn't in terms of endearment.

377
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:14.000
Oh yeah, Home God, the
Officer and a gentleman m Postcards from the

378
00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:18.640
Edge, Steal Magnolia's. I will
say is that that's the exception. That

379
00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:22.920
movie is awesome. That that that
right there, Steal Magnolia is still Magnolia's

380
00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:29.079
is the movie version of Golden Girls. That right there is where young me

381
00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:37.960
bonds with my grandmother Steeal Magnolia's and
and the and the Bloody Armadilla Cake with

382
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:42.119
Tom Scarett Dolly Parton Olympia Ducucus.
That's how I know that movie. And

383
00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:47.559
then obviously a very young uh Julia
Roberts. But and then also I remember

384
00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:52.160
watching Golden Girls and Unsolved Mysteries with
my grandmother. But it wasn't a two

385
00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:56.640
way street. She wouldn't watch bay
Watch with me. Golden Girls was a

386
00:30:56.799 --> 00:30:59.680
funny show. I have known it, watched it. Yeah, it really

387
00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:02.839
is. And it's one of those
shows again you can't put on TV today,

388
00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:07.240
which is very unfortunate because it's so
good. Uh but yeah, so

389
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:11.960
it's uh so you got Scaret,
Dolly Parton, dicaccas, and that's the

390
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:18.920
syndrome, the doccas toward Dan.
You know, he forgets a lot.

391
00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:37.480
You know, it's acca he's so
young. He looked so healthy that this

392
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:57.480
is why there's parental advisories. Visit
us Onlinehouse on Air dot com. Let's

393
00:31:57.480 --> 00:32:01.880
get Daniel Cook from Cook DFW Roofing
and Restoration into the treehouse. Now give

394
00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:07.519
them a coffee or free roof inspection
eight three three cook DFW or the website

395
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:10.720
cookdfw dot com. So Daniel coming
up in the show, I'm going to

396
00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:17.079
tell the guys about a news story
that we found twenty five hundred syringes of

397
00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:25.319
a dangerous vaginal tightening gel were confiscated
at an airport in Minneapolis. I'm not

398
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:30.759
going to necessarily ask you to comment
on that specifically, but I am curious.

399
00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:35.960
Are there any sort of roof tightening
substances that you know we should be

400
00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:38.559
aware of or is that just you
know, fancy or is that just make

401
00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:45.200
believe Dan? First of all,
were the Kardashians flying with those I'm just

402
00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:49.680
kidding, I don't I don't really
want the flight, So I'm sure they

403
00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:52.960
can fly with theirs on private with
no issues. Private private, private,

404
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:55.599
private prob. Yeah, so that
may have been their doctors or something trying

405
00:32:55.640 --> 00:33:02.119
to get them somewhere. Roof tightening
app or that's a good one. A

406
00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:08.880
lot of roof mending products, a
lot of ceilans tightening, now, yeah,

407
00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:13.559
that's that reminds me of like the
old parking lot stretchers when we were

408
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:15.720
in construction and parking lot used to
get the rookies and tell them, Hey,

409
00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:19.440
the parking lot needs to get stretched
out for the cracks. We need

410
00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:22.359
to go get rent one of those
parking lot stretchers. And so they would

411
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:28.599
go to all the rental places and
ask for the parking lot stretcher, and

412
00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:34.799
every guy at sun Belt or Union
Tool or anybody would keep on sending him

413
00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:37.200
to the next person down the road. And that's when we'd finally have to

414
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:40.200
call the guy in about four hours
tell him, hey, come on back,

415
00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:44.960
man, and he'd be like in
Fort Worth by now because they kept

416
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:50.519
sending him to the next place looking
for the parking lot stretcher. But yeah,

417
00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:53.519
it's hey, there's there's something in
every field that you can get,

418
00:33:53.640 --> 00:33:58.079
you know, your new guys on. But you know, you know,

419
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:01.559
I can't say there's gonna be any
a tightening, you know, necessarily in

420
00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:06.799
the roofing business, just doing it
right the first time. Basically, that

421
00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:09.840
would be the idea. You know, the every every item around your house

422
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:13.880
or business needs some maintenance and that's
where we come in and we kind of

423
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:19.400
hopefully prevent anything major happening. And
that's why those annual inspections and periodic you

424
00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:22.880
know, repairs are going to be
much better for you than the waiting down

425
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:28.000
the roads there's something worse to happen, or or using syringes of illegal substances.

426
00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:32.559
So give Daniel Cook from Cook DFW
Roofing and Restoration to call for that

427
00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:37.840
free roof inspection eight three three cook
DFW or the website again cookdfw dot com.

428
00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:44.320
It's the Treehouse time Nott to welcome
into the treehouse. Jaqueline from Brooks

429
00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:47.639
Plumbing the website Brooks Plumbingtexas dot com. The phone number that you will need

430
00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:52.119
is two one four three six eight
thirty eight thirty eight. That's two one

431
00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:54.559
four three six eight thirty eight thirty
eight. And I say need because I

432
00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:59.679
think a lot of people Jacqueline think
about plumbing as a need. They call

433
00:34:59.800 --> 00:35:01.280
you when they have our problem.
But that doesn't always have to be the

434
00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:05.920
case. House I bought in Dallas
a couple of years ago, it didn't

435
00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:09.599
have a disposal and I really really
wanted one. That's when it dawned on

436
00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:13.440
me. You don't have to wait
for a major issue to call a plumber.

437
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:15.639
You can call Brooks Plumbing for a
fun reason, for like a fun

438
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:21.480
project. I think it's fun that
you think garbage disposals are fun. Yeah,

439
00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:23.159
we do. We do fun stuff, you know what For me as

440
00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:25.800
a woman, for me, I
want a pot filler over my stove.

441
00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:30.440
That's my fun project. You need
me to run a little bit extra water

442
00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:35.480
line so your wife doesn't have to
lift that heavy pot to make her pasta

443
00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:38.400
every Sunday pasta sauce. You know, that's the fun project for me,

444
00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:42.239
a woman. Get yourself a pot
filler, men, I guess, get

445
00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:44.960
yourself a garbage disposal, and get
rid of those tree branches. We're here

446
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:46.679
for both. And when that tree
branch gets stuck, call me for that

447
00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:50.039
too. It's gonna be fun.

459
00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:50.480
from the Treehouse Podcast Christmas road Show
at Shakerton's Midtown which is across the street

460
00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:54.079
from the Galleria in Dallas, Saturday, December ninth, four to seven pm,

461
00:36:54.679 --> 00:36:58.800
we will do a live recording of
this year show. So that'll be

462
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:08.360
fun and immediately afterwards the roasting of
my chestnuts. It's gonna be uh,

463
00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:14.519
it's gonna be good fun. How
is Raj? Do you already have material

464
00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:17.800
written down for the event? Or
is this stuff that you've just been collecting

465
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:22.199
over our twenty year relationship that you're
like, one of these days, I'm

466
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:23.519
going to convince this ity to get
to let me roast him, and you're

467
00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:28.079
just gonna unleash no. I I
you know, when it comes to this,

468
00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:31.280
I want to keep it concise and
very because I could go on forever.

469
00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:38.719
So as I was as I was
making some dinner last night, I

470
00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:42.400
had a few that hit me and
I was like, let me write those

471
00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:46.400
down and they'll be very quick and
then there's uh. Then I immediately went,

472
00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:52.039
oh, I can't leave Trey out
of this. What and hit got

473
00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:57.639
to two or three for trade depending
on how much time you know, it

474
00:37:57.719 --> 00:38:00.880
depends on what the laughs and such, engroans whatever, it's all the same,

475
00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:07.840
it's all the same value. So
and then I went in to Aaron

476
00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:10.320
and I had one. I had
a couple of I had one for for

477
00:38:10.519 --> 00:38:14.559
Jerry. And so I'm still still
waiting for all of it to hit me

478
00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:17.800
for like everetten, maybe another one
for Jerry and then well then I'll introduce

479
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:22.360
everybody and then everything after that should
be a smooth sailing. So speaking of

480
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:25.840
which, Trey, are have you
gotten any material down yet? Or I'll

481
00:38:25.880 --> 00:38:30.440
ask the same question I asked Raj
Or have you just been piling up material

482
00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:32.760
for the twenty years we've known each
other? Like, all right now I'm

483
00:38:32.760 --> 00:38:39.039
gonna get his ass all, you
know, joking aside, Dan, I

484
00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:45.480
I don't like you, and I
like we've worked in the same office for

485
00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:50.039
years and and but I don't.
I have a few zingers. But there's

486
00:38:51.079 --> 00:38:55.559
you know, your robotic nature makes
it somewhat difficult. That's a good angle

487
00:38:55.639 --> 00:39:00.079
go with that. You can start
with some along those lines, like,

488
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:02.840
you know, I could say many, many hurtful things, but I don't

489
00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:07.960
know if it would affect your robot
heart. Yeah, you could be like

490
00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:10.039
I would say things that would mean
about you, but then you would just

491
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:13.400
turn it off at the end of
the night in reset, So it's okay,

492
00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:19.320
or I'll just my heart will become
sentient and then you know, murder

493
00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:25.960
you alls the first living AI I
am. I am actually oddly looking forward

494
00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:29.880
to the roast thing because it's something
we've never done, so it'll be fun

495
00:39:29.960 --> 00:39:34.079
to do it. I'm looking forward
to It'll be an additional thing to do

496
00:39:34.239 --> 00:39:37.559
for people who come out to the
show. And speaking of additional things,

497
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:40.320
we're going to have merch available there. We're going to have some things that'll

498
00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:44.559
be available for you to order,
which would be very cool. We'll have

499
00:39:44.639 --> 00:39:50.400
a couple of giveaways, and we're
also doing a toy drive benefiting the developmenty

500
00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:55.079
developmentally challenged children of the Warren Center. So if what we're going to do

501
00:39:55.239 --> 00:40:00.800
is I'll post on the Treehouse on
air social media accounts, I'll post some

502
00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:05.159
examples of some toys that that you
can buy and bring to the road show

503
00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:08.199
that will be donated to the to
the kids of the Warren Center who have

504
00:40:08.280 --> 00:40:14.039
special needs. Okay, because I
was wondering what that would be. So

505
00:40:14.199 --> 00:40:15.559
good. I'm glad you have that, and I'm sure there's other people out

506
00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:20.199
there trying to figure out what that
would be. So that's awesome. Basically,

507
00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:24.360
a toy that would make you smarter
would be good. Mhm. Okay,

508
00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:31.519
so an etch a sketch. Maybe
you just got really frustrated with etches

509
00:40:31.519 --> 00:40:37.400
sketches, so maybe we shouldn't do
that. Like the one time I actually,

510
00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:40.239
I actually drew somewhat of a house, and my sister shook it up

511
00:40:40.239 --> 00:40:45.559
and threw it across the room,
so it was gone forever. That's me.

512
00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:50.880
Oh my god, I only ever
got stairs. That's all I ever.

513
00:40:51.159 --> 00:40:52.360
That's all I ever got. I
wasn't any good at anything. Your

514
00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:54.760
toy was stairs. No, no, no, the on the edge of

515
00:40:54.760 --> 00:40:59.920
sketch. I could do the I
could do the stairs. Like, man,

516
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:07.760
your parents must have hated you go
play on the stairs. Then you

517
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:09.440
don't know immigrant parents. It's like, can I have a toy? Like

518
00:41:09.519 --> 00:41:15.159
this is we got a house,
this is your toy. You go upstairs,

519
00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:19.960
play on the banister, I used
to. Yes, my favorite thing

520
00:41:20.039 --> 00:41:22.280
was sliding down the stairs. That
was something I did as well, because

521
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:25.800
whenever I go visit like a family
member who had a two story house or

522
00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:30.480
something like that, we would absolutely
play with the stairs. Kids these days

523
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:32.639
are not even allowed up or down
the stairs, probably because parents are too

524
00:41:32.679 --> 00:41:36.280
worried they're going to fall down them. But that was the game we all

525
00:41:36.360 --> 00:41:39.159
played as kid, which was I'm
gonna fall down these stairs about twenty times,

526
00:41:39.199 --> 00:41:44.320
and that's my game for the day, which also might explain why I

527
00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:47.199
don't why I don't remember things,
and also why I had that big pensil

528
00:41:47.239 --> 00:41:53.360
in kindergarten. It really is all
starting to make sense. It was going

529
00:41:53.400 --> 00:42:00.480
to the house that was a kid
a fantastic day for me because it really

530
00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:04.719
is the culmination of my my life. And this year, you know,

531
00:42:05.199 --> 00:42:12.960
podcast and babysitting drunk people get to
do it all in one. Don't you

532
00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:30.280
just feel like a winner? Just
ask me for some ranch. This segment

538
00:42:53.719 --> 00:42:59.039
again, Welcome to Friday. Birthdays
were fun and eventful and we learned a

539
00:42:59.079 --> 00:43:02.800
lot about me. Now, let's
learn a lot about the world in general

540
00:43:04.239 --> 00:43:08.800
as we get into some really really
really stupid news that Tray has found this

541
00:43:08.920 --> 00:43:20.119
week. I mean really stupid,
super stupid or it was an exceptional week

542
00:43:21.079 --> 00:43:25.079
and yeah, so let's start in
Florida, where all the stupid seems to

543
00:43:25.159 --> 00:43:34.559
happen. A Florida woman was arrested
after trying to eat counterfeit money during an

544
00:43:34.639 --> 00:43:42.719
arrest for a Walmart scam. You
just, okay, you know Florida is

545
00:43:43.440 --> 00:43:45.679
is strong with the stupid. Here's
the thing. But when you when you

546
00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:50.920
preface it with Florida, I don't
get stunned. If you would have just

547
00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:54.039
read that headline and then we could
have all guessed who to all guessed Florida.

548
00:43:54.119 --> 00:43:55.840
But I'm like, who's dumb enough
to do that? Was she in

549
00:43:55.960 --> 00:44:04.360
Florida? And he'd be like,
correct, I will run at it again.

550
00:44:05.239 --> 00:44:12.320
Right, It's the magic of audio. A woman tried to eat counterfeit

551
00:44:12.440 --> 00:44:17.599
cash during an arrest for a Walmart
scam? Was this in Florida? Yes

552
00:44:17.679 --> 00:44:29.719
it was, Yes, it was
ra tell us more Dan all right,

553
00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:34.000
fine, a Florida woman has found
herself behind bars. Why did newsplaces do

554
00:44:34.159 --> 00:44:37.599
that? Found herself behind bars?
She's not. She didn't just wake up

555
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:39.519
there like she went to sleep at
home in bed, woke up. Oh

556
00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:44.119
my god, I'm in jail.
She knew what she did to be there.

557
00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:49.400
After allegedly using counterfeit bills at Walmart
and then trying to eat the fake

558
00:44:49.480 --> 00:44:53.760
money when being detained by police,
Zipporah Abraham was arrested in charge with third

559
00:44:53.840 --> 00:45:00.280
degree grand theft and uttering forged bills. After the incident that unfor hold that

560
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:04.760
a Walmart in North Miami Beach on
Sunday uttering by the way with t's not

561
00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:14.920
the d's. That would have been
interesting that she'd been counterfeit dollars. A

562
00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:19.320
Walmart lost prevention officer was notified that
a customer later identified as her was trying

563
00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:22.400
to use fake money to pay for
items. When the Walmart employees looked at

564
00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:24.599
the store surveillance footage, they realized
this was not the first time she was

565
00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:30.280
involved in an incident at that store. The off the The affidavit did not

566
00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:32.239
go into further detail about her history
with the store, but did say she

567
00:45:32.440 --> 00:45:40.280
was an offender in the past and
not to be outdone. Another woman stabbed

568
00:45:40.360 --> 00:45:45.880
her boyfriend in the eye with a
rabies needle. Do you, gentlemen,

569
00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:50.480
want to guess why she stabbed her
boyfriend in the eye with a Rabi's needle?

570
00:45:51.599 --> 00:45:59.239
Because it was Thursday in Florida.
No, it was Monday, and

571
00:45:59.320 --> 00:46:06.960
it's because he was looking at other
women. Yeah, once again, a

572
00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:09.679
Florida woman has found herself behind bars. I'm not making that up. It's

573
00:46:09.719 --> 00:46:14.519
in the lead of a different story. She knows why she's in jail.

574
00:46:14.639 --> 00:46:19.039
She didn't go to sleep and wake
up magically behind bars. You know,

575
00:46:19.400 --> 00:46:23.039
it's Florida. There could have been
a meth or bath salts bender, and

576
00:46:23.199 --> 00:46:27.199
yes she did. All of a
sudden, she woke up and she's like,

577
00:46:27.280 --> 00:46:30.239
hell, how'd I get in jail? Because you ate bath salts.

578
00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:34.239
You shouldn't be surprised if you eat
bath salts. There's really two things that

579
00:46:34.280 --> 00:46:37.440
are gonna happen to you. You're
either gonna be dead because everyone thinks you're

580
00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:42.119
a freaking Florida zombie or they arrest
you and in which case you're behind bars.

581
00:46:44.559 --> 00:46:50.360
The first time I was had an
edible in La, I found myself

582
00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:54.519
in my bedroom, but I'd eaten
it in the kitchen, so I understand,

583
00:46:54.599 --> 00:47:00.519
and I don't remember leaving the kitchen. So I found myself tucked in

584
00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:04.360
bed, and that's what I was
like, the force is strong with this

585
00:47:04.440 --> 00:47:09.519
weed, Like, so I understand
how some people can find themselves elsewhere.

586
00:47:10.239 --> 00:47:14.239
I love the fact that this lady. I love how this lady is well

587
00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:16.360
maybe she told maybe that was the
arresting thing, which she's like, I

588
00:47:16.360 --> 00:47:21.800
don't know how I got here.
I was drunk and eating money. And

589
00:47:22.519 --> 00:47:25.000
I love the lady. The fact
that the lady who stabbed the guy in

590
00:47:25.039 --> 00:47:27.880
the eye. He was like,
no, I know why I'm here,

591
00:47:29.519 --> 00:47:36.239
but how how does she know?
Like he said, rabies? So she

592
00:47:36.320 --> 00:47:43.239
gave the guy rabies in the eye. No, I think it was injections

593
00:47:43.280 --> 00:47:47.159
for their dog, right, so
it I don't think it had rabies in

594
00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:51.880
it. It was more like a
like the injection you get for having rabies.

595
00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:58.239
Okay, so it is Florida.
They may have needles with rabies in

596
00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:02.480
them. Just so they they had
a rabid dog at home. She might

597
00:48:02.519 --> 00:48:06.119
have had a pet raccoon that she
just you know, doused with a needle

598
00:48:06.159 --> 00:48:08.320
and then shoved it in the guy's
eye. That's it. That's that's it

599
00:48:08.440 --> 00:48:15.519
right there. Florida has weaponized raccoons. Anyone surprised by that? Now,

600
00:48:15.559 --> 00:48:19.679
if it was Indiana, we'd all
be shocked. Yeah, but when we

601
00:48:19.840 --> 00:48:28.519
start our country trio, it's going
to be called weaponized raccoons and uh not

602
00:48:28.679 --> 00:48:35.920
to be outdone. Twenty five hundred
syringes of dangerous vaginal tightening gel was seized

603
00:48:35.960 --> 00:48:52.079
at an airport. How is it
dangerous? Can you overdose? Can you

604
00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:59.679
can you? Is there too much
tightening? Is that what's happening? I

605
00:48:59.719 --> 00:49:08.039
mean, if it if it breaks
it off, I mean, if if

606
00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:13.199
you can use it to where it
gets so tight you can rip a vault

607
00:49:13.320 --> 00:49:16.960
door off of a vaulted a bang. I think I think it could be

608
00:49:17.079 --> 00:49:22.159
seen as dangerous because you have you
have to finish this story. You have

609
00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:25.880
to, I need, you want
more. You'd think of, you know,

610
00:49:27.199 --> 00:49:30.039
like open a pickle jar, but
then you know it's fighting against one

611
00:49:30.079 --> 00:49:37.079
of the other the purpose. Maybe
one of the few times and as a

612
00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:43.199
man, you ask for her help
to open up the pickle jar. Can

613
00:49:43.239 --> 00:49:46.079
you get this? Maybe it's one
of those airplane pickle jars. Like this

614
00:49:46.199 --> 00:49:52.480
is gonna be exciting. Customs agents
at the Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport

615
00:49:52.599 --> 00:50:00.119
seized thousands of syringes of what they
say is a dangerous and unapproved vaginal tightening

616
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:04.920
gel. There it is right there. It's unapproved, So I'm guessing the

617
00:50:05.039 --> 00:50:09.880
FDA has not tested this properly.
A release from US Customs and Border Protection

618
00:50:10.039 --> 00:50:15.159
states the syringes were discovered in a
shipment from Hong Kong that was bound for

619
00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:22.000
a home during an inspection on November
twentieth. Wow, it was going to

620
00:50:22.079 --> 00:50:27.519
somebody's house. Yeah. The syringes
were wrapped in pink packaging, appearing ready

621
00:50:27.559 --> 00:50:30.719
for resale, with a brownish gel
inside. Officials say the shipment was valued

622
00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:36.679
at about nineteen thousand dollars, but
was seized for violating the Federal Food,

623
00:50:36.760 --> 00:50:43.039
Drug and Cosmetic Act. Oh how
do they know the value of this stuff?

624
00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:50.679
I just want to see the flyer
they put out for the testing.

625
00:50:53.519 --> 00:50:59.960
Ladies, are you loose? Would
you like to not be loose anymore?

626
00:51:01.119 --> 00:51:07.280
Would you like to strike fear in
the packages of men. I'm just I'm

627
00:51:07.320 --> 00:51:10.440
just saying the street value for I
don't know how you do that. I

628
00:51:10.480 --> 00:51:13.199
don't know how you figure out what
I mean, for some minute, it

629
00:51:13.199 --> 00:51:22.039
could be priceless. How do you
put a monetary value on tightening to that

630
00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:27.119
degree? I don't know. Is
it like is it like the pain chart

631
00:51:27.199 --> 00:51:30.800
when you're at the hospital, like
the faces, like the amount of fayl

632
00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:32.760
Like it's just joy, Like,
tell me on a scale of one to

633
00:51:32.840 --> 00:51:37.039
ten, how happy you are,
and that's how that's how we judge the

634
00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:45.760
value of this product. He hasn't
stopped smiling. Ten thousand dollars. I

635
00:51:45.840 --> 00:51:47.559
think the only way you really find
out is you have to let it hit

636
00:51:47.760 --> 00:51:52.920
the open market and let the market
decide what the value is. Yeah,

637
00:51:52.079 --> 00:51:58.360
I like, I like I was
headed to one household who ordered that much

638
00:51:58.440 --> 00:52:02.920
for? Like, what's going on
there? Like? Did you get the

639
00:52:04.079 --> 00:52:06.800
did you get the jels? Like? Yeah, you're gonna need more than

640
00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:15.199
one? I got a I got
a whole shipment. There's a pimp about

641
00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:34.400
to revolutionize the game. I believe
that'll do it. God, I love

642
00:52:34.480 --> 00:52:38.360
this show. Thank you for hanging

643
