Mark Cuban's Biggest Regret-And It's Not His Haircut | Wednesday 04.01.26

0:00 Want more Treehouse, check out our YouTube exclusive shows at YouTube dot com slash at Treehouse on air. It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh with us inside the Treehouse. I'm Dan, O'Malley along with Trey Trendholm and special guest today inside the Treehouse, our friend Rebecca Black. Yeah, hey for all of us, Yes, golf. Clap tray, No offense, but thank you much thunderous applause. Where's your royal wave there, Rebecca. Guys Trey, I love you and no offense meant when I say this, but you look a little peaked.

0:49 Uh you know, I'll simply say this if I should all of a sudden just disappear. That's why I was running a little bit late this morning. I'm having some tummy issues. So oh no. If if nature's calling, I can't take a message. So uh, I mean you hold on. I had a wild idea. I don't even know why I'm about to throw this out here, but it is a mobile podcast studio. You could just in theory set up in the bathroom. Yeah no, it's not something anyone needs to hear. It already kind of looks like you are with your new green.

1:30 Screen I like the new background you got, And you know what if if you have an on air light in your bathroom, more power to you. Honestly, that's the appropriate place to put it. Really is. I mean, it's great acoustics, not gonna it's not just gonna be the applause that's thunderous in that studio. Yeah, I'm weirdly afraid to make Trey laugh. I'm I'm actively hoping that I make him laugh so hard he squirts right here. Oh no, this is also a good reason why we do this show, remotely factscause for so many years being in the same room, you get you get a little too familiar with each other, you know.

2:17 Oh I bet, And with all you dudes, it's way worse than with chicks. Hold on to that thought for a brief moment. We're going to talk about the big news of the day, and that is Mark Cuban saying he regrets selling the Mavericks to the Adamson family. But before we get there, we need to have this discussion. Rebecca, when you worked with Jody Dean on K Love, do you know do you know his intimate smells the way we know like Trey and I know each other's intimate smells. Of being in a radio studio for. Two No, no, I do not. I do not at all. We are not that close. I mean we were close, but not that close. Close enough to work together, have a good working relationship, but not so close that he would lie down on the floor, spread his legs and break wind.

3:02 Correct, I honestly don't want that. I would love to have seen that from Jody Dean. I think other people would have as well. Not only not only see it, but to hear Jody pontificate about it. Oh yeah, because you know he's going to talk about you know, he's going to play by play it, of course. But yeah, thankfully he had manners and did not do those things. I don't want a relationship with someone like that, if I'm being honest. Speaking of that, we'll be talking about a new technological advancement in underwear coming up on today's show as well. That's a little tease for all of it. Whatever Jody Dean smells like, which somehow I feel like it's mesquite and.

3:49 Bougie. I mean, yeah, there's definitely a barbecue layer in there. Sorry, Okay, Mark Cuban. Mark Cuban is making headlines not brand new for Mark Cuban to make headlines, but what he had to say on the Intersections podcast, which is a content partner of WFAA, and the hosts of the show are former Dallas mayor and our old buddy Tom Leppard and a commercial real estate guy named Kyle Well. Mark Cuban jumped on their show and they had a long conversation. And I only paid attention to this clip because this is the part I cared about. Praise because it's a big emotional commitment, right. You hear the passion and everything. Now, imagine going up and down like that every single game.

4:36 That's hard. Yep too. My kids they were coming of the age where they would be of the mindset maybe they want to work at the MAVs, and I didn't want that for them. You know, it can be abusive a lot. What do you mean by that? Meaning? You know, if fans don't like what you're doing or the team's not doing well, you're the worst human being on the planet. And then they treat you that way. Do you have any regret? I don't regret selling. I regret who I sold too. Yeah, I made a lot of mistakes in the process, and I'll leave it at that. Yeahosa, So. I have multiple thoughts on that one, but one of the first ones where he talks about how abusive it is.

5:17 I also I don't think human is looking back at the fact that he opened himself a lot to that because remember in the beginning days, he still answered all his email He made himself available to the public in a way that most owners don't. And I think that that made fans feel like they knew him and they had carte blanche to say, you know, ugly things. Yeah. I mean, but we live in that world anyway where already people are like want to blow you up for anything, anytime, anywhere on social media, to your face whatever. But go back twenty years ago, like that, it was. This was really before Facebook. It was before our Facebook was in its infancy. You did not have the vast social media presence that you do now. You just had, you know, his email address. And like I said, and he made a point of telling you, he telling everybody he responded to all his emails. He did not varm it out right.

6:17 Yeah, and he was honest about it. Because I remember one of the first times that we had him on the show, on the radio show back in like the early two thousands. It was in that era where he said he's like, yeah, here's my email address and blah blah blah, and then we're looking around trying to find, you know, his private email address just to say, hey, we'd love to have you on the show, and there wasn't one. It was legitimately just it was like market mark Cuban dot com. Whatever the email address was, that was his only one. So it wasn't a fake out. There wasn't some if there was an actual secret email, no one had it and whatever. But to get him on the show, that's the email that we use. So when you open a door like that, people come running. Yeah, and they and I get it.

7:01 And I would imagine that would be a regret he might have had and been like, you know what, maybe maybe I made myself a little too accessible. I mean, but I don't fault him for wanting to bow out of that at all. No, definitely not because I mean as a former math fan, uh same watching me, yeah, watching him for years as he's saying there in the clip, live and die by every single game, it makes sense at his age even maybe you should have done it. Sooner to be like, you know what, maybe I should step back a little bit because he might have a heart attack courtside. Well, or he could he could have certainly stepped back and not sold the team. Wait, most most owners aren't at every game.

7:50 True, but I thought that the whole deal here when he did make the agreement with these new owners was that nothing for him. Was supposed to change. He was supposed to contain you to have X amount of say and all that kind of stuff. So I'm like, did they not sign any kind of. Legalities regarding Mark Cuban Stilling having as much involvement? And I think that goes to his when he says, you know, he regrets who he sold it to. Yes, Wi, everyone is going, oh, it's political. He knew who the addisons were, he knew who the demands were like that, there's no big shocker there. But I think he I think in the NBA it's called like you're the governor of the organization, which means you are basically as far as you have the final say, like you are the controlling person, right, And I think he thought, you know are he had structured a deal where he was going to maintain that status, even though not having the majority of the team, right, And maybe you know that's how they represented it. And you know, I can't imagine someone of his intellect and his business acumen he didn't put it all in writing. But same, yoh, maybe that's.

8:58 The details I want him to scoop on. I want to see the paperwork. I want to see the contract. I want to see the final bill of sale. What is the actual wording that was put in there that somehow gave these people a loophole to not consult Mark Cuban on things. Yeah, I think it's an interesting thing because we have all dealt with contracts in our professional lives via radio and Trey and I a little bit tray, mostly with real estate contracts, all that kind of stuff. So all it takes is one time to get burned. And when you get burned in that contract, you learn, you learn that lesson so you don't get burned again. Typically it's something along the lines of this is just our boilerplate contract.

9:45 Just go ahead and sign that, but between you and me, handshake deal. You're still gonna have say in the team, You're gonna have control. You get burned by that one time and then you know, for the rest of your life or in contract terms, in perpetuity, you will make sure everything is in writing from there, you know to it. But we're we're not talking about us, We're not talking about Joe Schmo. We're talking about billionaires. You have people for this law firms dedicated it. Ye. And that's why it's so shocking, because it sounds like one of those situations where you get taken advantage of and someone says, no, no, no, Mark, You're still gonna have lots, You're still gonna have final say, and then in writing he doesn't. So it sounds absurd to think that he may have fallen for that, and not even just him. Like you said, Trey, the man's gonna have an entire law firm going over you know that sale.

10:43 I'm with Rebecca. I want to see the contract to see what was in there and what he was surprised about, because I think at the end of the day, I think it was a negotiating point or a point of negotiation and he just acquiesced. Well. So here I remember when this whole deal came out. There there's a guy. His name is David Sampson. He used to be the president of the Marlins, and he does a show a lot of it on Sports Business, and he sat on the up front. He goes, Mark Cuban is lying. He goes, there is no way he can sell the majority of the team and maintain He goes per the in the way like sports teams are structured in within the NBA. He was like no, He's like, yeah, maybe they they had a handshake agreement like yeah, you'll you maintain control. But he goes, there's no way that he can keep the Addison's from you know, taking control of the team and want Yeah, you know.

11:43 Which that everything that you're saying, Trey makes total sense. But there was clearly some sort of maybe it wasn't written down. Maybe it was the handshake agreement that they definitely went back on. And I'm sure part of it is although I think I believe Nico was his guy, I am sure the Luca trade left of just an absolute horrible taste in everyone's mouth. YOPM. That's why I'm not a Mavericks fan anymore. Same season, and it's it's not just because it's not because I don't want to get Marid in the Luca trade, suffcause training I have talked about. That already, but. Look, I mean, at one point, Mark Cuban was sort of not hated, hated, but disliked by a certain contingent of MAVs fans for selling and for selling who he sold to because people got their you know, problems and issues.

12:37 But that all went away as soon as Nico traded Luca for cheap because then then he was only the bad guy because he sold the team and allowed these other people to make this happen. But those people became the ones that everyone would have crucified and hung up on the side of the double ac. Yeah, all I know is there's there's a stinky in here some where, and unlike most turds, this is what I want to find. Same. I'm like, that's why I'm like, literally, just show us all the paperwork, show us everything, so that we know who to appropriately side with, even though odds are I'm going to side with Mark Cuban no matter what, because he literally brought my dumpster team rose them up from the ashes back in the day, so I credit him with a lot of Listen.

13:27 The MAVs title run was one of the most magical times. I mean, Dan and I just got it. I just got a chill just now thinking about twenty eleven. Yeah, I mean it was such so good. And you know, that was one of those things I never I part of me never thought I'd see the MAVs win a championship. So the fact they did and and the fashion they they did it, and you look back and it's like you see some videos now talking about greatest NBA title run derk hands down, about who we went through at everything else, magical time. So Cuban forever has a hall as after that on my end. And I'm you just just hearing you say all that in a paragraph of words, just has has met with goosebumps from my nips to my toes.

14:15 Sorry, it's it's good feelings, man. It really. I mean, look, I'm not even lying. I do too. And and we and probably one of the drunkest I've ever been the night the MAVs came back and we partied at the Loon with him Dan was there. Uh, and we we hold held the trophy and I'm so jealous. I mean, that was the night where you absolutely should be. It went viral of them saying we are the champions, and uh, you know Jason Terry's walking around with trays of redheaded slut shots. And when and when we tell that story, we always have to throw in shots shots because otherwise you get a different idea. Yeah, uh so you know that's but I I don't.

14:57 I mean, Cuban made a boat look ode on the maps, and you know he made the decision like he's a smart guy. I mean, no matter what you think of him, the guy and he has people around him that are really smart. So I have maybe there'll be something that there was some trickery, but otherwise I can't see myself feeling sorry for Cuban on this one. He knew what he was. Doing, and that's why we need to see it. That's why we need to see the paperwork. Like I said, I smell a stinky and there's a turd in here somewhere, And I can't believe him saying this out loud because I'm just gonna keep running with the analogy. I want to get in there.

15:37 I want to pull that turd apart, look inside of it to see what everybody ate, to find out what's in there so we know what happened, so we can appropriately, you know, point our anger or frustration or. Shame fingers, whichever, you know. Yeah, I just want to know. I'm super nosy. No, I'm the same way. I also want to know. I will say, I think we can all take a little bit of like solace in the fact that the new owners of the Mavericks are never going to get their casino here, and that is hilarious. You don't think they ever will? I don't. I think that's the reason. Part of the reason why they decided to get rid of Luga was like, Okay, Dallas, if you're not going to vote on our behalf to get this casino brewing, we're going to dismantle the tea.

16:24 It was never a Dallas vote. That's that's never a local vote. That's a state deal. Well, I mean, but it's not going to happen though, I guarantee you it is not going to happen. Happened sooner or later, but it may. Be twenty something years from now. Yeah, and like by then, that old lady, that old bag is going to be dead and I'm going to be fine with that. Then pass it. Then pass it when she's dead and she cannot benefit from those proceeds. I think we all I think we all know that the reason, the main reason they wanted the maps is because they want to turn Dallas into a Vegas. Yes, that's exactly what they want to do. Yeah, there's no doubt. And but that that is a state legislature issue first and foremost, because it's not just I mean, if it was just a local thing, I promise you one of the suburbs would be, you know, building a casino right now to lure them.

17:19 Frisco would be looping up the toll way like you believe, Oh my god, you know all. The Then well, then there's the problem is that it's the state issue. We have too many of the you know, rednecks that are like. Now, we don't gamble. It's not hilarious. Do you know the number one group opposed to Texas getting casinos? I have no clue. The other gambled, you know, Vegas, the Indian tribes, all of them, because Texas is the biggest feeder market for those places. So you are you know, especially now with the Indian casinos, they don't want any part of it because that is going to hurt their business. Chalk Talk and Windstar turning about put a note on them.

18:04 Yeah, absolutely, I'm fine with that. Like I'm all in on the opposing side there, And I likes to gamble. I like the idea of gambling on a looped up toll way, like Trey said, instead of toll boots at slot machines. I love that idea. That's fantastic. Every gets a prize. Yeah, it's only good if they put back in the old coin buckets where you toss the coins. Yeah. I want the fun aspect of agreed. I want the clink sound. I want to be able to throw it and make sure that I led the booth properly from by fifty five mile per hour vehicle. We need a lever too.

18:44 And then and the bell. The bell is ringing not because you broke the law, but because you won. Correct. Hell yeah, we did. All the toll way problems fixed right here.

22:04 Rebecca. I will all right back inside the treehouse. Obviously she's Rebecca. I'm Dan. We got Trey as well, now that we've solved all the toll waste problems with bringing back not just the toll booths but slot booths. Love that idea. I am a firm believer that there are two types of people, and I feel like that statement works for so many situations, But the one that came to mind recently was this one. I'm going to show you a photo as I say this, Okay, here we go. There are two types of people, people that wear these types of sandals and those who refuse to The photo I'm showing Rebecca and Trey right now is a lady wearing Keen sandals.

23:00 I'm impressed that you knew the name. Well, that's right there on the side. I can't read that. Well, I've got really good eyes. So Keen is an excellent shoe brand. I mean, it's like hiking boots and shoes, and they have hiking sandals. That's what these are. The best description I can give is these are the hiking sandals you can wear the men and out of the water. That's why I think they've got the holes in them so for drainage. But I also feel like these types of shoes are the ugliest things on the planet that you can put on your feet. I will second that, so, Rebecca, you and I are firmly on the side of we are not wearing never the hiking sandals.

23:42 Never never ever to do that. Trey, which type of person are you? How many do you own? I would pay so much money to see Trey wear some of these shoes. I'm just trying to figure out what what was the thought process behind this that you know you're hiking, but you need open, open air shoes. Trade they're for land and sea and so that you can go to both places at once.

24:25 That's right. I'm surprised these aren't worn by navy seals. Maybe they are, and I just don't know what. I'll tell you what if navy seals wear these shoes on operations. I'll take back everything I'm saying about it. I would agree with that. I mean, I mean they're just like an ug a more durable version of an aqua sock. Ye're terrible, yeah uh. And it's interesting because where I live, I see these types of shoes a lot. And and that's why I wanted to use this for our inaugural. There are two types of people, because I firm, I believe very very strongly that it really is the best example of their two types of people. You either wear these types of shoes or you will never wear these shoes.

25:09 I would have to try on a pair and take them for a test run to see. I mean, they're hideous, But. Looks alone don't deter you from these shoes. You would actually go out of your way to even try them on. Why, at a certain point, sub. Age, it has to be age. Are you? How old are you, Trey? I'm fifty one. See he looks great, right, you look amazing. I At a certain point, substance will trump style. And and that's what happens with age. I think it's an age thing. Tray. Like I said, they're they're hideous, and I wouldn't. I would only wear them probably in a foreign country.

25:53 Of course, you would be. The stereotypical fifty something year old tourist. Well, not for everything. I would not be walking around in them. But if I were to do something where, especially being on a boat and then getting off a boat, going on a land everything else where you have stuff like aqua sox, would I give it a shot? Yeah, I'd see how they work. I just feel like there are better options out there, like, for example, Tiva. They sort of they're the best of both worlds too, but they look so much better than those. Oh no, Rebecca, you just went back over to the dark side. No, Tiva's are right up there with the kings. I agree. But if you have to choose the lesser of two evils, are you gonna wear these Keynes or are you gonna wear the Tivas?

26:39 Honestly, I might wear the Keynes because I think those are more comfortable. I don't know. I've never I've never had either one on my feet, so I don't know. Look, this is not. Even a comfort issue of y'all. This is just sheer hideousness issue. It is, But I think that's the reason why people will wear something this hideous is that they are so hump cract they are overwhelmed with comfort on their feet that they ignore the hideousness of the style of the shoe. I don't think I can do it. I don't think I could ignore. And this is the twenty first century. So if you're not really exactly sure the type of shoe we're talking about because you're listening to the show, it's the lesbian sandals. It's the stereotypical lesbian sandals that people will talk about, known by other names like lesbian loafers, clam clogs, scissor slippers, the butch birkenstocks, Subaru shoes, that's Tray's favorite, tripping timberlands, the plaid pumas, munching moccasins, lick kicks, and snatch sneakers.

27:41 I did my research, clearly. I mean, when your shoe has that many nicknames, dead giveaway for why you shouldn't wear them, you just rolled off forty different potential other titles or these bad boys. No, if there's any group that knows comfortable shoes, they. Can be comfortable all day long. It's still a no. You want to still look good as what you're saying. Correct, and I will suffer through pain in order to not have to wear those.

28:21 All right, speaking of comfort. The other day on my Instagram feed, I was hit with a not an ad, but I think it was just a suggested follow and this popped up from Shanesty Threads. It was an announcement they had for Shanesty fart blockers. This is fart blocking underwear that this company called Shanesty claims to have not just invented, but perfected so much so that they're advertising it on social media. And I was not stunned by and I was surprised because I was like, why did this come across my feed?

29:06 Why was this in my algorithm? What have I been looking for? And then when I went to the profile to check it out, it dawned on me as to why it was suggested to me. All the asplay. Why do I feel like you're already following them. And that's why you saw it? I do not follow them, but you do, Rebecca? I do you do? Oh? Are they the ones who created like the gene short? I don't know.

29:46 But when I went to it, now my internet's not working very well. It's Shanesty threads and when it shows up on their profile thing, followed by haunted Rebecca, how do you spell it? Hang on? Hang on? I'm sorry. So you followed someone because they have a jort. Yeah, I do feel like they have jort swim. So you you frown upon the Keynes, but you're okay with jorts? Oh, I am not okay with jorts. I am okay with other people wearing jorts for my enjoyment. What so they so you can mock them? Absolutely fair? I do follow them? That's wild?

30:27 Here it is here to say it. Finally, it finally pulled up Shannesty. Threads, followed by yeah, followed by come on, focus in there Rebecca, Uh, followed by haunted Rebecca. Oh, and our friend Angela Chase. Yeah. There's a lot of people on here that follow it. Says and four others. I have a theory, I wondering you. Have eleven others that follow it? Okay? One? Two? Three of the four five six people on my friends that follow the Shanesty underwear brand, uh, three of them are either radio or former radio.

31:09 What are you trying to say that we have Toot problems? Well you might have Toot problems, but my guess is more specifically, is that it was a radio promotion that you had. You did spots probably around Valentine's Day years ago, and you followed them and that was part of the requirement. And here we are maybe. And I also think by the way that. While it spelled she Nasty, I think it's supposed to be said she nasty, And that would explain why they felt the need to have fart blocking underwear.

31:57 So trying to get an endorsement deal. Rebecca not No, I didn't even know that they had this technology. I don't need that technology. I think there's a dive that needs to be had into what other products she Nasty makes. I think it's just underwear, right, I think it's underwear. But right now they're like all their stuff is really big on this fart blocking technology. Like scrolling through their stuff, it's all about the fart stuff. Does it muffle sound and smell? From what I'm seeing it. From what I'm seeing, it's just the stench. I don't. I feel like if you're willing to fart that much in public, you should not be allowed a fart blocking material. You should just have to like deal with it because that's what you do.

32:50 What about all the people around them? Oh, I understand that we're suffering, but I need to know who the gross people are. And that's one way to find out very quickly that you know somebody who's very gross, is that they're willing to fart around you all the time. I don't. Then we don't have to hang out. Well, that's that's nice if it's people that you know. But if you're in place like in public spaces where you're being crop dusted, which is one of my least favorite things, like the gym, like on a plane. True, if you're if you're if you're a crop duster in those areas, then you're bad people.

33:31 I agree. I one hundred percent agree with you. I feel like we should all have manners and do that at home, in the privacy of you know, the bathroom. With a straight face. Tell me you didn't love to crop. Dust Russ, that's different. He had it coming. You're in the Treehouse business online at Treehouse on air dot com.

Right, because once Motown gets thrown in there, then you're like, wait what, because that's exactly what the movie is. It's it's a Motown Bruce Lee origin. Pick Amazing Italy. Motown took. Kung fu movies and blaxploitation and put them in one film. I love everything you guys have said. All right, so let me look through the votes here. So the choice was Wednesday or Thursday at seven tray, will you tally these for me real quick?

36:43 Sure? Thursday and Wednesday? All right? Uh? Dustin says Thursday, Mackie says Thursday, Jonathan Thursday, Hayley says Wednesday, Caitlin says Thursday. Marshall says Thursday. I don't think we're gonna the tallies. Linda says Thursday, Jasmine says Thursday. And I don't know who this is, but I appreciate their handle. Brought to you by Blue. Chew says Thursday. Yeah. At this point, that's eight to one, so I can't see that. Yeah, Wednesday to rally on that one. Yeah, Rebecca, you're more than You're more than welcome to join us on Thursday at seven if you want to do the watch along movie, because since Jerry's never seen it, and if you join us is another reason why we're not going to talk a whole lot through it, little bits here and there, just because we're watching it with a group of people, and because there are moments in that film it just freaking needs it. I want people's first experience in seeing this film to be kind of pure, like it was for me when I was like six or seven and I watched it and took it seriously.

37:54 And I mentioned this to Tray the other day to it, I'll mention this to you, Rebecca. You've you've seen Stranger Things, right? Yes? Okay, so I think it's the final season. I always forget it's either season four or season five, when Steve and Robin are in the video store. At one point, Steve's back is to a wall. There's a movie poster over his shoulder, and that poster is the Last Dragon. Oh okay, well look at that. I felt like the Leonardo DiCaprio meme out of Once upon a Time in Hollywood. I looked over his shoulder, man, look, look, look last Dragon poster. I was so excited that it made me realize I haven't seen that in a while. I didn't watch her. Anyway.

38:35 It is Wednesday, April first, twenty twenty six. It's time for. Birthdays from Sex Education, the show, not the actual program. Asa Butterfield is twenty nine. Today. MSNBC host and political voice Trey He's personal favorite. Rachel Maddow turns fifty three. You know you love her. You know you send your letters? Oh yeah. Saturday Night Live. Alum Taran Killum is forty four. Actress Biju Phillips is forty six. Ali McGraw is eighty seven today.

39:18 I'm sure if I know who, I know that name, but I can't picture. For some reason, I started to think of Ali sheety, I'm like, she is not eighty seven. No, way now. From music Susan Boyle, who wowed all of really Europe on Britain's Got Talent. She is sixty five. She was one of the real breakout stars of the early two thousands with the contest shows. But for the right reasons, like in America we had William Hung and because he was so bad he became famous from American Idol. Susan Boyle is a great lesson for us all. Don't judge a book by its cover. He hit the stage to try out or to perform whatever for Britain's Got Talent and everyone's like, oh, because she's not pretty. And then she opened her mouth and started singing and blew the roof off the place and has a voice of an angel, and everyone's like, yeah, I'm an, I'm an a hole. She's she is sixty five today, method man fifty five. All of our rap gods are getting old. Man.

40:26 This feels weird. Yeah, like it's so weird to think about, like guys from NWA and you know things like like like when, like when like when Ice Cubes arc has gone from gangster rap about killing people and jocking the bitches and stuff and. All the way to doing family movies called r V. It's just so weird. Listen. I saw one of the great videos on TikTok the other day and it was a a gen Z person singing and listening to n w A for the first time, and they were they had to do a double tagy like, yeah, shit, that's ice Cube.

41:08 Oh huh. Yeah. Now you know why we all laugh to see him in family friendly movies. Yeah, and why we all still giggle when we see Iced Tea playing a police officer on SVU yep. One of their Yeah. So yes, it's such a weird thing to see the arc of these men. I will say, though, Snoop Dogg seems to have remained true through his entirety. Yeah. I mean, granted, it was kind of funny to see him as like football coach for his kids, but at the same time he was still doing like, uh Snoops adult films or something. Yeah, he's a little less gangster, I would say, but I mean.

41:50 I always had that lighter side. Yeah, He's always been laid back, Yeah, very chill. Yeah. So it's it's such an odd feeling thinking of our like the rap guys, like classic rock and stuff. We saw that and got used to it, but we all grew up listening to actual all kinds of music. So one of these days, I'm wondering, is KZPS gonna play Crossroads by Bone Thugs and Harmony. Because this classic. I mean, they're like, they're like, uh, our buddy Brad Station one O three five the X in Brownwood is a classic rock station and we're playing you know, Green Day's Dookie album on there, like yesterday and afternoon I'm playing basket Case.

42:38 So I'm like, this is such a weird feeling, But I also wonder it's like, is there ever going to be a crossover where we get like an actual station that plays all the nineties hits that we all love and grew up with, maybe even some eighties with some exceptions, because most of the NWA catalog you can't play on terrestrial radio. It's just too many bleeps. I feel like I just need to take this one step farther. But don't you ever think about when we're like in the nursing home, what groups are they gonna bring to the stage for us to be entertained by. Are we gonna have covers of like NWA? Or can you imagine this We're like eighty in wheelchairs and there's fake NWA coming on the stage being like at the.

43:20 Police and bro like you. Even though Trey and I are on the board of a police firefround, they should like, yeah, not really, but yeah, this is. A scenario that lives in my head. Rent Free. Are we gonna have like Kardashian impersonators instead of Frank Sinatra? If we have Kardashian impersonators at the nursing home tray and I end up at it's also gonna be you know, old school throwing fruits and vegetables at them days and maybe some teeth and a colostomy. Bag because I don't like any of them. But you actually bring up a good point, like if you wanted to be a true nineties cover band or a nineties tribute band, you gotta play everything. You gotta play every thing from like Live Blind, Melon, Nirvana, n w A.

44:07 Yeah, it's a wild mix, right. I want I was. I didn't. I had totally forgotten I had this song on my phone and I'm driving the other day on shuffle on my music I had totally forgotten that I had a Dynamite Hacks cover of the NW a song on my phone. I love that. I love that song. I rolled my windows down, started playing and started thinking, Man, there there are people like you were saying Tredy, like the kid on TikTok, with their minds blown about n w A lyrics. But it's like now, imagine a white alternative band doing a slowed down version of one of those songs and the Edge played the hell out of that song back in the day.

44:54 I loved it, Trey, you know what song I'm talking about. I do not. Give me a minute. I just want to hear always hard come talking. That trash and will pull your caring. Nothing in life but to be a jit. Le like no. Well, so I know I know what you're talking about. Every acoustic musician that plays bars plays some version of that. Yeah, I just want to hear Jeff k Is. I just want to hear Jeff k you know, going and now the smooth sounds a busy, crazy and lazy bone.

45:48 I think he can do it. I know he could. Real one he is anyway, Happy Birthday. The method Man and that will Tool is seventy four. Trash talker Logan Paul is thirty one. Did you see that he would was it a few weeks ago. He's trying to throw around a million dollar bet saying he could beat up any NFL player, and all the NFL players just were like, whatever, bro. Cool, let's make it happen. They actually did. I think they actually did. I believe. I believe it was former Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell that took him up on the offer. And it's supposed to happen. Oh, I'd watched that.

46:30 I was hoping, whore. There was a Cowboys player that was absolutely that shit crazy bright party. Yes, and then he became like I mean domestic violence and like there was a whole bunch of other things, I believe, But then he became an MMA fighter. Yeah that's him. Yeah, turn him loose on the Paul bro both at the same time, throw them down on a bed of guns. I'll watch that live stream. I'll pay one hundred bucks for that. Everything bad that he's done in his life would at least get a little bit closer to leveling out if he would just shut one of them up. Anyway, Happy birthday to all those and today is your birthday. Happy birthday, And I'm also sorry that your birthday falls on April fool's day. It's really one of the suckier days for a truly right before we go, American Airlines seems to be on a mission to become worst airline in the world.

47:32 How do you do that by booking passengers on buses instead of planes? Oh? No, American Airlines passengers are booking flights only to find out they're actually bus rides. This is diabolical on the part of American Airlines. Yeah. Is that legal? Yes, because it's on it's on the booking it's on the website. Pull. American Airlines passengers have gone viral on TikTok after discovering that the flights they booked and paid for it were actually bus rides. That's what happened to one person named Kennedy, who booked a flight from South Bend, Indiana to Chicago O'Hair on American Airlines. She did everything normally, checked in, picture, seat clear tsa. Then she saw her luggage being loaded under a bus at the gate. She figured it was a shuttle to the plane, but the bus left the airport, got on the highway and.

48:25 Just keet it ride. If that to me, I'm like, are wings going to deploy on this bus at some point because I paid for a flight, not a buzz rod. Now her TikTok about the experience has over thirteen million views, and dozens of other passengers have come forward with. The same store. Not once did it cross their mind to ask. Oh, God, now was this done, to say was this done because of the TSA problem?

49:10 Or oh that's a valid question. It is a valid question, but I don't think so. American Airlines partners with a company called Landline to replace certain short routes with bus rides. The buses carry real flight numbers, show up with airplane icons on boarding passes, and passengers board by group number at the gate, just like a real flight, except there's no plane. It ages it says it's American says it's clearly disclosed on their website during booking, But many passengers, especially those booking through third party sites, say they never saw any mention. Of a bus. Okay, but you're at the gate right, you see zero planes in sight, you do see a bus. It never crossed anybody's mind to just go up to the front counter and be like, am I supposed to on a bus or a plane?

50:01 Here? You should? I would, I would too. I'd be like, where's my plane? Also, what was the fair? Because you know, if they got some like seventy nine dollars deal, you probably should have looked a little bit closer into it. Right, Yeah, you're not that good at finding cheap fairs. Yeah, no one is. AA dot com a new and convenient way to travel from their website. So no, I didn't bother verifying the story before I told you about it because it was so good I wanted it to be true. And now that we're live on the show, that's when I'm verifying it and it's real.

50:42 And also, are these like Greyhound buses? Are they like the Von Lane buses that are super nice? I don't know what the von Lane bus is. They're not going to be the fancy bus. I can guarantee that lane. It like runs from Dallas to Austin and I think to Houston. It's they advertise it is, you know, the alternative to flying. Yeah, and you have like Wi Fi and these big comfortable seats and everything else. But it's like it's under one hundred bucks, you know, it's it's less. So again, there's other details I want to know that should these people should have had a clue as to what they were getting or you know, now, if they paid three hundred bucks for a bus trip, I'd be fuming, piss sure, But.

51:29 Otherwise seventy five bucks, I'm like, okay, well you'll just take a little longer. Based on the photo that I see, it looks like a greyhound bus. I don't know what the von Lane bus looks like, but it just looks like a normal greyhound bus. But it yes American air lights, but the side of it. Yeah, I don't. I This is where I'm like, maybe we should just always read the fine print. I mean, you really should anyway, and it's yeah, it's a lesson that we all have to learn. These people just learned it in a very very harsh way. Eligible airports, Yeah, they have all on the website, all the different connections and things, and you can still you can still earn AA advantage miles while on the bus.

52:22 I feel like that's fair. You should be able to if there will. I mean, you know, I'm really stunned that this is actual real. I'm I can't believe I'm so excited about this. But I tell you this, the next time I book a flight, I am absolutely checking to make sure it's on an actual freaking plane not a bus, because I feel like if I just contacted Greyhound first, I might get a better rate. I don't know. Yeah, because if you do this, because you fly Spirit, it'll be a you know, seventy six winn a Bago.

53:02 Yeah, so true though, and we'll have a wheel missing. You have to pay for the wheel. I don't know. That's an upgrade for sure. And you know they put on the side of it like they do on the plane home of the Bear Fair, so you should know what you're getting yourself into. A good times, but you at least get that big comfy seat. Dan, I will get the big comfy seat, and this I don't have to worry. Look, if they invite me up to the cockpit, I could actually take over and kind of get us there, and then I can have the Spirit Airlines captain look over at me and ask do you like Lady in her movies?

53:44 And my life will have been complete for all things Treehouse Treehouse on air dot com. Do us a solid share the show from your favorite listening platform to a friend who could use a laugh today, or for someone who's about the books and travel. Plans and you want to give them a kind of heads up hit that chare button in together, let's grow the tree hiphil to see you next time, right here inside of the street. I wonder how long into that bus ride before she realized we're not actually flying here.
