Welcome back to The Treehouse Show, the comedy podcast where weird news, pop culture, and life's dumbest questions collide.

This episode starts with an important debate: How do you know if you've finally grown up... or if you're just having a mid-life crisis? Trey opens up about life after alcoholism, how sobriety has completely changed his outlook, and why he's suddenly developing an obsession with houseplants. Is this emotional maturity, or is he just one step away from eating dinner at Luby's before sunset?

We also celebrate today's celebrity birthdays, which somehow turns into a confession about iconic TV shows we've never watched—including Lost. Are we missing out, or was everyone else just confused for six seasons?

Then we dive into one of Reddit's most unintentionally hilarious relationship posts. A woman says her husband cheated, but the very first sentence of her story may explain exactly why. Sometimes the biggest clue is hiding in plain sight.

Finally, we wrap things up with one of the strangest medical stories we've seen in a while—a man ends up with a burning penis, and surprisingly, STDs had absolutely nothing to do with it.

If you enjoy funny news, Reddit drama, pop culture, celebrity discussions, and two lifelong friends making fun of everything, you've found your people.

Trey Trenholm coming up today, how being fat and not

6

shaving your legs just might affect your relationship. Also, a

7
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:33.079
fiery penis caught everybody's attention over the last handful of

8
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:38.600
days for obvious reasons. And we're also going to choose

9
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.320
our midlife crisis, although it sounds to me like one

10
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:43.520
of us has already made that choice. We'll jump into

11
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:46.600
that momentarily, but first wanted to mention this to you.

18
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.680
Thank you very much. It is a time that seems

19
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.959
to hit all of us at one point or another.

20
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:22.840
If we're fortunate enough to make it to midlife, it

21
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:26.319
hits us in different ways. Different people choose different paths,

22
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:31.920
and apparently, Trey, you have chosen your midlife crisis.

23
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.519
See, I don't know if it's a midlife crisis. And

24
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:41.879
this is where I am. I am at a profound

25
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:46.640
I am profoundly befuddled, and whether I am this is

26
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:51.400
the next part of me actually growing up. I've talked

27
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:54.719
about this before. One of the more interesting things about

28
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:58.079
alcoholism and addiction is they say you quit maturing when

29
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:02.319
you start drinking. And so basically, I was a seventeen

30
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:05.079
year old and un phil I was about forty two,

31
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:08.919
and many aspects of my life and it rings true.

32
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.439
I some of the very poor decisions I've made, some

33
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:14.719
of the way I thinks I did, why I behaved

34
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:21.479
absolutely that of a seventeen year old. And so I

35
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.120
don't know if I am in a midlife crisis. I

36
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:28.560
don't know if this is the next evolution of my

37
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:33.120
you know, grow up, or I don't know if I've

38
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:37.080
skipped midlife crisis and I've gone directly I'm nearing senior citizen.

39
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:42.360
I don't know. I'm I am as befuddled as anyone

40
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:49.840
else because some of the things I've done, Like I've

41
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.280
one thing about me is for years my car always

42
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.199
was an absolute wreck. I mean just dirt, like just

43
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:03.360
papers everywhere, just just a mess. And I made the

44
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:05.680
decision a couple of months ago. I'm like, I'm not

45
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:08.199
going to do that anymore. Cleaned it out and I

46
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:10.960
keep it immaculate. I even got a membership to a

47
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:15.080
car wash. I get it washed at least once a week.

48
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:16.400
Wow.

49
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:23.159
My place, I make my bed every day. I you know,

50
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:26.680
I clean like my Sundays. I get up, I walk,

51
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:29.560
I go to church, and then I come home and

52
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:33.919
then I make myself a nice brunch and then I

53
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.240
spend a lot of the day I laundry and cleaning.

54
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:43.960
So Friday, I woke up and I have a nice

55
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.919
new place and I really enjoy it, and especially it's

56
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:49.840
been the first place that I've had a second bedroom,

57
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:53.879
so my podcast, all this stuff is not stuck in

58
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.400
my living room or in my bedroom. So that way

59
00:03:56.439 --> 00:04:00.520
and keep everything much nicer. But I woke up Friday

60
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:06.039
and I have a nice balcony and I I don't

61
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:07.840
know where it came from. I'm like, I need to

62
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:08.919
go buy plants.

63
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:14.840
You woke up Friday morning with a green thumb?

64
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:21.079
I yeah, this just intrinsic need to go buy plants.

65
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:23.759
I went to Low's, I went to home depot. I

66
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.399
didn't see anything I liked, and I remember, oh, this

67
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:27.360
is a really nice nursery over there by love Field,

68
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.600
So I went over there. It's called Jackson's. I don't know,

69
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:35.759
and it could and you neither loves are home depots

70
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:40.120
And I'm not knocking them. Customer service not great, especially

71
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.600
in you know that department, because I have no idea.

72
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:48.040
I literally I have never had a plant before. So

73
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:50.199
I am you know, you give me a dog, a cat,

74
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:53.439
whatever I can tell you. I tell you everything you

75
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.120
need to do, from puppy to to you know, birth

76
00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:01.600
to death. Plants not a clue. Yeah, And so do.

77
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.920
You have any idea what kind of plant you want?

78
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:08.759
Are you wanting a plant that you have to like

79
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.439
talk to and like truly take care of, Like are

80
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.120
you looking for a friend that's green? Or you're just

81
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:16.639
wanting to make the place look nice.

82
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:22.000
I just felt like I and I So one of

83
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:25.920
the things I probably that spurred this on is I

84
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:29.560
cleared out the last of stuff from my mother. There

85
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.319
was one little tiny storage unit that I had left

86
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:35.399
that I cleared out and I had in there there

87
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:43.839
was a couple of nice brass flower pots, So I

88
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.079
I think that maybe, And so I got those. I

89
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.439
put them on my patio and I'm like, I gotta,

90
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:51.519
I gotta buy plants. So then I went to this

91
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:58.680
nursery and uh, this very nice lady and I because

92
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:00.360
I and I told her on the f and I go,

93
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.680
I have no idea. I I don't know what I'm

94
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.839

super really like, let's I'm gonna I'm gonna guide you

100
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:22.920
through this.

101
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:30.879
Now. She was? She was incredibly Actually, I told her,

102
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.439
I'm like, I don't want to spend a fortune like

103
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:37.480
something that looks pretty that if it, you know, doesn't

104
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:39.560
need a ton of care.

105
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:42.920
Were you looking for a were you looking for a

106
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:44.480
plant or a new girlfriend?

107
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.800
Well, I mean, with my luck, the new girlfriend would

108
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:52.439
uh bloom and then die and never you know, come back.

109
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:56.879
So looking for something pretty that doesn't need a whole

110
00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:57.360
lot of care?

111
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:01.519
Yeah, And I'll give Jackson's Home and Garden Center was

112
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:03.279
a place because the woman could not have been nicer.

113
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.079
I finally, so she showed me around. I go, I know,

114
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:08.079
I kind of I said, I'd like a perennial. I know,

115
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:10.360
I want something that you know, we'll come back every year.

116
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:14.079
Got it. So you're looking for, like you said, pretty,

117
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:17.079
So you're looking more of a a an esthetic type

118
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:20.399
of plant versus something like you're not going into gardening.

119
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:22.720
You're not trying to like you're not trying to grow

120
00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:24.160
a pepper plant and get food off.

121
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:25.839
I mean, I mean I still live in an apartment.

122
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:30.639
I mean, uh so, yeah, I just wanted something that

123
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.959
you know, look nice and I you know, I could watch.

124
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:43.040
So finally she was like, well, you know, these rose

125
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:47.519
I don't know if they're like trees or.

126
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:53.639
They're not spoken like a true plant. Man, I don't

127
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:55.160
know if it's a tree or.

128
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.480
Well, it's it's big, it's like so it's they're like

129
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:04.839
a rose bush, but it's a long base like it

130
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:09.399
almost looks like a little shrub and then bloms on top. Anyway,

131
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:11.000
so I got two of them. They were on sale.

132
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:13.240
Is it the desert rose?

133
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:19.480
No, they're the called nitty Gritty Red Rose.

134
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:22.160
Nitty Gritty red rose.

135
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:28.920
Reaches three to four feet three feet tall, four feet wide,

136
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:33.360
and they were on sale.

137
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:36.759
I was like, okay, perfect, and you got two.

138
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:37.679
I got two.

139
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:42.399
I'm proud of you. Congratulations. You got some plants.

140
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:46.159
I got some plants. And then you know, I and

141
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:48.480
the woman told me, you know what I need to do,

142
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:51.759
And it's like, do I need to repot them? She's like, actually, no,

143
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:55.600
leave them there and we've already pruned them and they'll

144
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:01.360
bloom once more. And then after they're done, then you

145
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:03.799
have to trim them and then when in the fall

146
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:05.960
to come back in some potting soil, and then then

147
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.000
you can you know, take them out of their their

148
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:14.720
pots and repot them. Okay, and uh and then but then, uh,

149
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:18.399
you know, as a side note, uh, you know, we

150
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:27.840
had a little storm yesterday and they blew over. It's

151
00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:31.120
something I didn't really think about is rose bushes have thorns.

152
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.159
So when I went to pick one and pick the

153
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:36.799
one up, and it was blocking my door, so I

154
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:40.559
was very limited as to my access. I screamed like

155
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:47.000
a bitch because I had like four thorns in my hand.

156
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:53.200
Look I'm not one to typically beat a metaphor to death,

157
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:56.840
but I think in this instance it applies. You didn't

158
00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:03.639
just buy new plants. You bought them you You bought

159
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:08.159
the plant representation of all your romantic interests in your life.

160
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.039
It's pretty, but it's got thorns and it's probably gonna

161
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:15.080
hurt you. I'm sorry.

162
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:19.879
It's very fair, you know, at least at least it's potted,

163
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:22.720
and it can't just disappear and leave again.

164
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.200
It's an it's an extension of you trying to fix

165
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:29.120
Not only is it a representation of the women you've dated,

166
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:32.120
but you're trying to fix the plant because you can't

167
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:33.679
fix the woman. You know what way to do that

168
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:35.000
is to beat them from running away.

169
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.919
Maybe you're right because after, you know, after they fell over,

170
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:40.200
I went and got some bungee straps and I strapped

171
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:43.200
them to the falcony so they can't leave.

172
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:50.080
Man. That is a all right. I don't think we

173
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.279
can beat this metaphor to death, but I'm a little

174
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:56.840
worried about your captives if they try to make a

175
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.759
run for it. I got it. I got a nice

176
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:07.039
I got a nice Stockholm Rose. All right, kidding aside,

177
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:11.000
it might be a combination of all three phases of

178
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:14.720
life that you're talking about, because there's the midlife crisis,

179
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.120
there's the old man era, and there is the just

180
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:21.799
maturing side of things, and you may be and this

181
00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:24.919
and getting these plants might be a might be a

182
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:26.000
combination of all three.

183
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:30.639
You know, I've made this joke too. I don't remember

184
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:32.159
if I made it to you, but I've made it

185
00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:36.279
some other people that know me well enough to, like

186
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:41.200
Amy and my stepmother Jackie, and you know, I I

187
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.440
finally I have a place that looks you know, it's

188
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.480
like you walk in and go, oh, an adult lives here,

189
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:49.679
and they looks nice, and it looks like they it

190
00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:51.279
looks like they have their shit together.

191
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:57.120
I mean they don't, but it looks that way. And

192
00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:59.480
isn't that really what adulthood is all about?

193
00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:02.919
I think, you know, before in my life you walked

194
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:04.519
in and you're like, hey, this person does not have

195
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:06.919
their shit together. So at least now it looks like

196
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:08.000
I have my shit together.

197
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:12.080
And you know, I think that's an essential part of

198
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:14.639
growing up. Whether you have it together or not, it's

199
00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:16.639
just reaching a certain point in your life or it

200
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:17.960
at least looks like you.

201
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:20.639
Might fake it till you make it exactly.

202
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.600
That's a lot of what adulting is, and most of

203
00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:25.960
us don't realize it till we hit a certain point

204
00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:30.039
and realize, oh my god, everyone that I looked up

205
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:32.080
to when I was a kid, they didn't know what

206
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:34.360
they were doing either. It was all fake it till

207
00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:36.679
you make it. It works that way with kids, it

208
00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:39.759
works that way with jobs, it works that way with everything.

209
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:42.919
Anyone that tells you they've got everything figured out is

210
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:45.960
full of it. They absolutely do not. Those are the

211
00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:50.000
people that worry me the most because they're either delusional

212
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:54.639
or they're just straight up lying, And so different people

213
00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:59.919
find the different sort of impetus for realizing that they

214
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.120
don't have it all together. For most people, I think

215
00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:04.559
it's kids. You and I don't have kids, so we

216
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:08.399
didn't have that same thing happened. We're like, oh, now

217
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:10.159
I get it. I don't really know what I'm doing,

218
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:14.200
and my parents didn't either. It's just trying to figure

219
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:16.360
it out as you go. Fake it till you make it.

220
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:18.799
At least make the kid look good on the outside,

221
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:20.879
because you can screw them up on the inside all

222
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.279
you want. Kind of like your apartment, so yeah, and

223
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:26.960
then in your kid it's it's finding different, like finding

224
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:29.960
the thing that makes you realize that you're like, yeah,

225
00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:34.039
I'm just kind of figuring it out as I go.

226
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:38.720
And I kept mentioning this before as far as like

227
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:42.440
choosing your midlife crisis, because there's been this meme going

228
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:44.879
around that I've seen the last month or so where

229
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:50.919
millennials are now entering midlife, and so this running meme

230
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:53.200
now is all right, millennials, you're now of the age

231
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:56.600
that it's time to choose your midlife crisis. And when

232
00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:58.759
you and I, you know, were growing up seeing our

233
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:01.159
parents go through their mid life crises, if they did it,

234
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:04.799
like my dad's midlife crisis was a little similar to yours, Trey.

235
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:06.799
One of the first things he did was he went

236
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:09.159
out and bought a plant. Now his plant was marijuana,

237
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:12.399
but still it was a plant. He also got a

238
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:19.360
nineteen eighty two Z twenty eight Camaro. So those midlife

239
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:22.240
crises that we saw as kids were more of the

240
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:27.720
stereotypical traditional like dad can finally afford a sports car,

241
00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:29.559
so he goes and gets one kind of a thing

242
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:31.720
he wanted, not mine. It's like you know, it's like

243
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:34.799
if you ever wanted like a convertible corvette, you couldn't

244
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:36.840
afford it when you were twenty when you wanted it,

245
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:39.759
But now that you're forty five, you can afford it,

246
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:41.360
and you're like, ah, now I'm gonna get it.

247
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:46.799
And it's funny you brought that example up, because if

248
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:50.879
there's been one thing that I think literally midlife crisis's

249
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:53.519
have ruined corvettes.

250
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.279
It really has. You can't be a middle aged man

251
00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:58.600
and get the sports car of your dreams anymore because

252
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:02.120
then people think one two things tiny wiener or it's

253
00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:05.639
just midlife crisis. You're acting out you know, your younger selves,

254
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.480
fantasies or both, and so it's kind of ruined it.

255
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:13.519
So I think what's happened is we've replaced that sports

256
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:15.799
car with just a big ass truck. Now maybe that's

257
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:18.399
partly because we're from Texas, but at some at some

258
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:20.559
point you're like, you know what, I just want a big,

259
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:23.440
kick ass truck. I want it big and I want

260
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:26.519
it awesome and just yeah, and you know, you can

261
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:29.399
get a big truck when you're younger, but if you

262
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:31.399
want like all the bells and whistles, like, if you

263
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.720
want that King ranch, you're gonna throw down some money.

264
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:38.320
Do you know how much like a king or like

265
00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:40.720
a platinum f two fifty costs Now.

266
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:42.879
It's it's gotta be over one hundred.

267
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:45.600
I think it's like one hundred and thirty five.

268
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:50.159
Yeah, I mean that's so. I think. I think like

269
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:52.240
a really it doesn't even have to be a sports

270
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:55.840
car anymore. That's the ultimate stereotype. But it really is

271
00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:59.799
just buying or leasing whatever, just getting a really nice

272
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:02.320
car that you can afford. And it's sort of like, ah,

273
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:05.480
I made it, I'm an adult. It's not. But yeah,

274
00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:10.679
but so our stereotypical midlife crises aren't what they used

275
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:13.960
to be. What we saw is a midlife crisis as

276
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:18.080
a kid, like the convertible or you know, an ear

277
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:23.879
ring or something. There's so many more options now, So

278
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:26.559
this means has been going around millenniar millennials, It's time

279
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:29.559
to choose your midlife crisis. There's all these other options

280
00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:33.120
now that can signal I'm going through the change, I'm

281
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:39.799
hitting midlife. Things like making sour dough out of nowhere,

282
00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:42.799
having a supplement obsession, like if someone you know as

283
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:45.559
all of a sudden talking about peptides. Let left and right.

284
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:48.320
Oh boy, here we go. If someone gets into cross well,

285
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:50.320
CrossFit maybe not so much, but all of a sudden

286
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:52.799
they're into health and fitness. All of a sudden, they

287
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:57.039
get into gardening hardcore, or they get into bird watching.

288
00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:01.879
Right now, I got. I don't say, I don't think

289
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:06.920
I've really gone overboard, but when I turned fifty, I started,

290
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:12.920
you know, taking exercise a lot more seriously and working

291
00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:16.839
out regularly, and I got, I knows, I take a

292
00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:17.960
lot of supplements.

293
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:22.079
Part of the difference is, though, is how much you

294
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:25.079
tell others about it so you can do these things

295
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:26.960
like if you're just going to the gym just because

296
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:30.599
you want to, you know, lower stress and just increase

297
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.319
your quality of life by the time you're eighty, that's

298
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.440
one thing. Well, but if you're signaling it, especially on

299
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:40.200
social media, or you're part of groups and things and

300
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:42.759
doing that's where it's supposed to kind of carry over

301
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:43.519
into the midlife care.

302
00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:48.839
I mean, I my primary deal in working out is

303
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:53.759
twofold Number one look better, but number two, because I

304
00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:58.039
watched this with my parents and my stepmom is the

305
00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:01.680
opposite of it. And you know, she's almost eighty and

306
00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:04.359
she lives this active, full life. Both my dad and

307
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:06.839
my stepmom, I mean my dad and my mom, they

308
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:10.359
were so sedentary that their bodies broke down by the

309
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:14.200
time they were in their early seventies. They were basically

310
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:18.039
Mom was in a wheelchair and Dad could, you know,

311
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:20.960
hardly move. And I didn't want to end up like that.

312
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:24.279
And listen, when I if I have, you know, a

313
00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:27.359
little bit extra income, you make no mistake. I'm I'm

314
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:32.039
gonna try the peptide thing that and stem cells. I'm

315
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:32.839
all over it.

316
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:35.680
So some of these, some of these other choose your

317
00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:40.240
midlife crises. There's a couple that are stereotypes still buy

318
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:44.160
a sports car, divorce. Then you get into more twenty

319
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:49.319
first centuries stuff, hormone optimizing, skin and hair care obsessions,

320
00:18:49.359 --> 00:19:00.160
starting a farm, pickleball, dressing like a twenty's teen. No,

321
00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:07.000
having a panic baby like you're forty three and go

322
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.079
oh no, or I guess that'd be more of a

323
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:17.039
surprise baby. Low toxic living, gardening, going alcohol free. Now,

324
00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:19.480
for some people, that's different. Yours was a different situation.

325
00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:21.599
Some people are like, you know what, I'm just gonna try,

326
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:24.039
you know, not having alcohol for a while and see

327
00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:26.200
what it feels like. That can also be a thing.

328
00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:30.279
Supplement obsessions all of a sudden deciding I'm gonna run

329
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:38.720
a marathon. No buying a motorcycle, and they're done that divorce,

330
00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:46.119
I've taken a taking a year long sabbatical. I wish

331
00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:47.599
only fans.

332
00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:53.200
Look, there's all sorts of if I had something I

333
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:56.720
thought was I could sell on OnlyFans, make no mistake

334
00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:57.160
about it.

335
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:00.920
How are your feet? Told me that you get a

336
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:07.640
pedicure on occasion? No, not not not only fans worthy on.

337
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:09.480
On the on the other hand, I mean only like

338
00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:11.440
some of this stuff, especially with feet, you can get

339
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:14.680
real specific. If you have really hideous feet, there might

340
00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:16.920
be some people out there willing to spend money on

341
00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:19.680
that or just mid.

342
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:23.920
Yeah, I think they're very just maybe above average, but they're.

343
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:26.200
Honestly awesome.

344
00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:31.920
Even if I have, I don't know. I find feet

345
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:37.000
just ugly in general, So I can't even fathom. I

346
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:37.960
can't fathom any of that.

347
00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:41.039
I get that, like I I assume my I assume

348
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:43.759
I have feet that would be considered mid. I guess

349
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:47.000
because I don't. I don't think that they're pretty enough

350
00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:50.119
to be on like that upper echelon of like only

351
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:54.279
fans feet pick domination, but they're also not so hideous

352
00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:57.319
that would just garner so much, you know, general interest

353
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:00.240
or morbid curiosity. I don't know how it works. I've

354
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:02.799
never had a foot fetish. I assume though, that like

355
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:05.839
most things, if you haven't extreme, you could probably make

356
00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:08.720
some money. If it's extremely beautiful, you could probably you know,

357
00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:11.920
have some fun with feet picks and putting pretty bowas

358
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:13.920
on them or something. But then if you had like

359
00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:16.960
some really hideous feet, like like Quasimoto ringing the bell

360
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:19.319
with no shoes on for one hundred and fifty years,

361
00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:22.680
you know, I'm sure there's some interest there too. But

362
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:24.319
if you're in the middle, like you and I are,

363
00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:26.599
then you're just probably stuck with trying to figure out

364
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:27.240
something else.

365
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:30.079
Yeah.

366
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:32.119
Oh and the one I left off that I think

367
00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:34.200
would be an obvious one as far as choosing a

368
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:37.240
midlife crisis starting a podcast.

369
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:42.839
I you know, we've done I've done a lot of

370
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:46.119
these things. And you know, I had hot blonde that

371
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:47.519
was ten years younger than me.

372
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:50.200
And that's another one that was another one on there.

373
00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:51.839
Now yours was a little different one. Of the other

374
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:54.119
ones I saw was start dating a twenty three year old.

375
00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:56.279
Yours was not twenty three, but still ten years younger.

376
00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:58.799
Yeah, maybe that's maybe that, maybe that was the problem

377
00:21:58.839 --> 00:22:01.519
I need to you know, maybe twenty years younger is.

378
00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:03.559
That's what it is. You didn't go young enough.

379
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:11.640
Yeah. I made the mistaken thing of the you know, older,

380
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:14.240
mature and stable, and man, was I fucking wrong.

381
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:20.119
Let's get Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration in

382
00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:24.000

383
00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:27.599
called eight three three cook DFW today to get that

384
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:32.519
scheduled eight three three COOKEDFW. The website is cookdfw dot com. Daniel,

385
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:37.519
part of the roofing process is knowing about ventilation and

386
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:40.319
how important that can be to the life of the roof.

387
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:43.759
That's something you guys look at. It's not just about shingles.

388
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:44.839
Absolutely, Dan.

389
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:49.319
A lot of homeowners underestimate the amount of attic heat

390
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:53.200
build up that their home has, affects their AC system,

391
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:58.079
affects their roof condition, long term effects just overall their home.

392
00:22:58.200 --> 00:23:01.039
And so when we come out we make that assessment

393
00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:03.240
with the homeowner, we try to educate them, make sure

394
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:04.480
they have the proper ventilation.

395
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:06.680
There is a calculation of this.

396
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:08.839
We walk them around if they're interested in going around,

397
00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:10.720
we show them what their intakes look like, what their

398
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:13.400
exhaust system looks like, and try to make the best

399
00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:15.559
fit for their home. So that's a very common thing

400
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:17.200
that we do and it should be done every time

401
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:19.319

All right. Today is Tuesday, July fourteenth, two twenty six.

420
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:40.559
Birthdays today. Jack Lynch Iimmy winning actress, best known for Glee.

421
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:43.119
She was also in the forty year Old Virgin Only

422
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:47.000
Murders in the Building, the newer version of Whose Line

423
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:50.319
Is It Anyway? Jane Lynch is six holidays, Talladega Knights,

424
00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:54.279
Talladega Knights. Also that she's been in so many things

425
00:24:54.279 --> 00:24:57.400
that's hard to pinpoint and remember all of them. Hey,

426
00:24:57.680 --> 00:24:58.000
she is.

427
00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:07.079
Sixty six Todayted actress, comedian. I mean she's fantastic.

428
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:11.400
Her delivery with some things, not everything, but her delivery

429
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:15.200
with some things comedically is so bone dry at times

430
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:19.279
it's a thing of beauty. I love a good dry delivery,

431
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:23.279
and she's she's got that going on. She is sixty

432
00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:26.920
six today. Matthew Fox is sixty. He's best known as

433
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:30.319
Jack Sheppard on Lost. Before that, he was the oldest

434
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:31.640
brother on Party of Five.

435
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:34.680
I know who you're talking. I know who that is.

436
00:25:35.519 --> 00:25:38.079
So this is I don't know why it's all of

437
00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:42.640
a sudden come around in my cue. Our suggestions is Lost.

438
00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:43.680
Did you ever watch Lost?

439
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:48.480
I never watched Lost. When I think when Tara and

440
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:52.440
I first started dating, she watched Lost, and so I

441
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:54.880
watched some episodes early on with her and then we

442
00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:56.920
just I just kind of fell out of it. But

443
00:25:57.039 --> 00:26:00.240
I mean, no more than a couple episodes. I think

444
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:02.720
it wasn't it wasn't a show that I watched.

445
00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:09.079
It was in that that time frame where, yeah, I

446
00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:11.039
was busy drinking and didn't watch any.

447
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:14.440
TV and unless it was on at the loon.

448
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:20.599
So I am just now getting into Game of Thrones.

449
00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:26.200
But yeah, and there's I remember if people really liked

450
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:29.920
the show, and it seemed it and the cast is phenomenal.

451
00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:34.000
I just there's only so much time.

452
00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:39.039
That's that's that's very true. And the older we get,

453
00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:47.440
the the the older we get, the less alluring a

454
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:52.640
network show is because all of our attention spans are decreasing,

455
00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:56.839
doing part the social media, but also doing part two.

456
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:01.359
I think there's been a shift in what we consider

457
00:27:01.400 --> 00:27:04.880
to be quality programming, especially when it comes to a

458
00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:08.319
quote unquote television show like just not a movie. Right,

459
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:12.359
So television shows nowadays, if it's on a streaming platform

460
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:15.200
and there's eight to ten episodes, I have a higher bar.

461
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:19.279
I have a higher set of expectations for that than

462
00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:23.480
I do if I'm watching a CSI or NCIS offshoot

463
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:27.839
on CBS or NBC that's gonna pump out eighteen to

464
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:31.240
twenty four episodes a year. Like my bar on network

465
00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:35.559
TV is so low now, so I actually equate more

466
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:38.599
episodes with lower quality.

467
00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:45.880
Now I've I don't. I just think it's lazy.

468
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:49.640
There might be there might be some truth to that

469
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:50.160
as well.

470
00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:55.880
I mean, I'll say this it it makes me appreciate

471
00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:59.039
the good network shows that we have seen over our

472
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:01.599
life and the fact they did pump out twenty two

473
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:05.799
to twenty four episodes a year, and you go, well,

474
00:28:05.839 --> 00:28:08.480
you lazy bastards that are only doing eight to ten,

475
00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:13.000
you know, and listen, here's the other thing. Now here's

476
00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:17.240
one thing that really pisses me off. Yeah, okay, if

477
00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:20.000
they're only doing eight to ten, but then there's like

478
00:28:20.079 --> 00:28:27.359
two years in between seasons, I mean, that is double lazy.

479
00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:29.920
And part of the problem is there's so many there's

480
00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:33.559
so many projects, and there's the writing pool. It only

481
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:37.279
has so much. But I do feel like if you're

482
00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:39.359
only doing eight to ten episodes, you should at least

483
00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:41.160
be able to spit out a season a year.

484
00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:47.599
And with those tweeeners, it's difficult to figure out what

485
00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:49.519
it is. And what I mean by that is this,

486
00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:53.599
when you've got a show that's eight to ten episodes,

487
00:28:54.839 --> 00:29:02.920
is it a short television show for a season or

488
00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:04.759
are you making a long movie?

489
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:10.319
Well? Is it something you just don't have any more?

490
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:11.839
Mini series?

491
00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:16.000
And that's an essence what we're all watching the most

492
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:20.599
of now, Like Game of Thrones was a mini series basically, yeah,

493
00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:22.519
as far as as far as season link kind of

494
00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:24.839
a thing is concerned, right, because like if you were

495
00:29:24.839 --> 00:29:26.480
to go back and like, do you know how many

496
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:30.240
episodes or seasons whatever Lonesome Dove was, I don't just

497
00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:33.599
but that's one of the biggest mini series of our

498
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:38.680
age group. But a mini series was typically what like

499
00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:44.279
one season, eight episodes maybe something like that. That's kind

500
00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:47.039
of an essence what the new television model is. It's

501
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:52.000
a mini series with more than one season. But again,

502
00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:54.079
it really does boil down to when you have that

503
00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:57.279
is am I making a long movie or am I

504
00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:01.119
making a short television show that people are used to?

505
00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:03.720
And there's a difference because sometimes we can see them

506
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:06.279
and be like, you know what, this show that I

507
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:09.839
just watched that was eight episodes. That could have just

508
00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:12.480
been one one hour and a half movie. It would

509
00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:15.440
have been way better. Some shows might have been eight

510
00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:18.000
episodes and thought, man, there's more to this. I want

511
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:19.960
like a twenty episode thing of this.

512
00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:30.880
I don't know, but I'll say this, I appreciate good

513
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:36.079
writing more than ever. But here's another thing, complete side.

514
00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:38.680
Do you know you can play games on Netflix? Now?

515
00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:42.880
I saw that a while back that it's got a

516
00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:44.279
whole gaming center.

517
00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:52.480
Yeah, yeah, so you you scan it. This is I

518
00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:56.880
I at some point probably sad because there's all sorts

519
00:30:56.880 --> 00:30:59.519
of games. But you basically scan a QR code or

520
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:01.599
you download app and then your phone turns into a

521
00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:08.319
game controller. Okay, I played Tetris last night for the

522
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:11.519
first time in ages on Netflix.

523
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:15.960
Uh huh, using the phone as the game controller.

524
00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:17.160
Uh huh.

525
00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:19.880
I think there's just a Tetris app that you can

526
00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:22.279
just play on your phone directly, you know whatever.

527
00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:27.480
Actually, you know, on a big TV I'm with you there.

528
00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:30.759
Like like Terra still has like her Super Nintendo and

529
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:34.599
I've still got a PS four. So it's like I

530
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:36.480
can appreciate, you know, playing the game kind of thing

531
00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:39.240
you doing at old school, like a controller. But yeah, no,

532
00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:41.640
I didn't realize that when you download the game on Netflix,

533
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:43.200
that you could use your phone as a control. It

534
00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:43.759
makes sense, but.

535
00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:45.559
You don't even have to download the game, use download

536
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:48.279
an app that turns your phone into a control.

537
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:49.480
Got it?

538
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:54.039
Okay, Just an interesting side note.

539
00:31:55.720 --> 00:31:59.359
Anyway. Matthew Fox is sixty Other birthdays today, This is

540
00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:02.400
a good one. Jackie Earl Haley is sixty five. This

541
00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:04.960
is one of those interesting Hollywood stories where it's he

542
00:32:05.039 --> 00:32:07.519
started out really good and then there was a whole

543
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:09.799
lot of whatever happened to him, and then all of

544
00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:13.839
a sudden he was in lots of stuff. Jackie Earl Haley.

545
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:17.920
It was an Oscar nominated actor known for Little Children

546
00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:23.200
and the Bad News Bears. This is the kid that

547
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:28.480
was smoking cigarettes on the mound, throwing fastballs in Bad

548
00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:29.200
News Bears.

549
00:32:29.400 --> 00:32:29.680
Yep.

550
00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:33.119
And so he did a bunch of stuff as a

551
00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:37.000
younger actor, and then nothing for a such a long time,

552
00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:41.799
and then he was in The Watchman and that Watchman

553
00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:45.480
movie was mostly a cult hit. It wasn't a massive

554
00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:47.519
box office thing, but it was very popular on the

555
00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:51.640
cult side of things. And he was Rorshak in that,

556
00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:54.400
and that kind of gave a resurgence to his career

557
00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:58.279
and then he became the new Freddie. It's kind of cool.

558
00:32:58.519 --> 00:33:01.000
So he's done some more stuff as he's like his

559
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:04.160
career had like a second swing to it, which I'm happy.

560
00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:06.359
But dude's a phenomenal actor. He is uh, he is

561
00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:12.960
sixty five today, Jackie Earl Hayley. I I know this

562
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:14.720
gets brought up a lot, and I can't help it

563
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:16.680
lean into it right now because it is the Bad

564
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:21.480
News Bears. If they tried to remake The Bad News

565
00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:29.480
Bears today, could it even come close to comparing? Like,

566
00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:33.200
unless they like, unless they actually have the kids smoking,

567
00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:37.160
you know, while they're playing third base or something like

568
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:39.920
they did in the original, or you know, are they

569
00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:42.400
are they hitting vape pins and the dugout or something.

570
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:45.000
I'm not sure what it would look like, but I mean,

571
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:49.799
if you don't have the actual bad in that, it

572
00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:53.880
wouldn't even be worth it, right, Could you do it today?

573
00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:56.200
Even though you know, you're kind of seeing a resurgence

574
00:33:56.240 --> 00:34:03.480
of Hollywood going back to uh, lesser sensitivity. I still

575
00:34:03.480 --> 00:34:07.880
don't know that you could pull that one off. There's

576
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:10.360
a lot of movies I feel like, late seventies, early

577
00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:14.960
eighties that you just you could not remake.

578
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:18.840
Just too many sensitivities these days.

579
00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:24.519
Yeah, yeah, I mean and honestly, I mean yeah, just

580
00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:27.800
there were I mean you have. I mean, there's no

581
00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:30.599
way you could make Blazing Saddles always as the first

582
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:33.199
and foremost that comes to mind of right, there's no

583
00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:35.719
way even I don't even think mel Brooks could get

584
00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:36.400
away with it again.

585
00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:40.920
Yeah, and and for Blazing Saddles, it's that way just

586
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:44.760
because of racism across all demographics and age groups. Right,

587
00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:48.480
Whereas something like Bad News Bears, the idea is you're

588
00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:54.119
having children do all these really terrible and questionable things,

589
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:57.639
and today's standards, I don't think you can get away

590
00:34:57.679 --> 00:35:01.280
with kids even being pretty trade is doing some of

591
00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:04.480
those things, like like you've got in Bad News Bears,

592
00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:07.840
I mean, you've got Jackie Earl Hayley's sucking lung darts

593
00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:12.760
before before he throws a two to fastball, And how

594
00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:15.480
do you recreate that, you know, with a jin alpha

595
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:19.360
kid who's thirteen, like is he is he shoving a

596
00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:22.519
zen pouch up his ass before he throws the opening pitch.

597
00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:24.239
I mean, that's about as close as I can think of,

598
00:35:24.639 --> 00:35:26.119
and I certainly can't show that.

599
00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:28.559
This will be one of the few times I'm gonna

600
00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:30.960
flip on the on the on the other side. And

601
00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:33.920
it's probably wise that you shouldn't remake those movies because

602
00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:37.880
it wasn't a good example for us to have, you know,

603
00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:41.559
bad news, caddy shack, they're smoking, they're gambling. I mean,

604
00:35:41.840 --> 00:35:47.840
it's things we should not have been doing. We're fueled

605
00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:50.800
by stuff like that, So maybe that's not Maybe that

606
00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:53.840
is one sensitivity that we have evolved a little bit.

607
00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:58.199
And you know, we're not showing kids, uh, smoking and

608
00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:00.360
drinking and gambling.

609
00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:05.079
And throwing baby roots into the community pool.

610
00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:07.440
Oh that's still be funny.

611
00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:12.320
Some things are timeless.

612
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:16.920

Thank you very much, Thanks Aaron. What Aaron?

636
00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:37.639
Yes? Yeah, uh okay, before we get to fire Penis,

637
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:41.119
I know that's a I know that's hot on people's minds.

638
00:37:41.320 --> 00:37:43.199
Before we get to fire penis, we need to talk

639
00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:47.639
about this. Some things might affect your relationship that you

640
00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:52.360
may not realize for others, it's gonna be real goddamn obvious.

641
00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:56.920
This is a great example of that. Trey found an

642
00:37:56.960 --> 00:38:00.400
interesting story on Reddit where a woman starts out by

643
00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:03.480
saying he cheated with a twenty year old because I'm

644
00:38:03.559 --> 00:38:10.639
fat and don't shave my legs. Not too uh, put

645
00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:12.960
on too big of a captain obvious hat. But I

646
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:16.239
think we know the problem.

647
00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:19.239
Yeah that really you you just kind of full stop

648
00:38:19.760 --> 00:38:30.440
uh and more than if you said, you know, gain

649
00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:35.000
some weight whatever. Okay, well that you but not shaving

650
00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:38.320
your legs ew ew.

651
00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:42.639
That's one of those things where you don't think about

652
00:38:42.880 --> 00:38:46.559
early on in a relationship. You don't think about you know,

653
00:38:47.480 --> 00:38:50.360
at some point we might get comfortable in the relationship,

654
00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:54.880
but how comfortable are you planning on getting because we

655
00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:57.119
should probably be on the same page with a number

656
00:38:57.119 --> 00:39:01.039
of things, including if you're going to go oh natural

657
00:39:01.119 --> 00:39:03.960
at some point, I need to know that really early on.

658
00:39:06.639 --> 00:39:14.280
Yeah, I it may be sexist, it may be whatever.

659
00:39:14.360 --> 00:39:17.800
I don't know. I don't care. I don't want to

660
00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:20.039
feel a hairy legs on a woman.

661
00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:28.800
I'm just no, it's okay to have preferences, Trey. You know,

662
00:39:29.639 --> 00:39:31.480
that's got of the way I see it. That's a

663
00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:34.880
preference thing. If that's not what you want, then find

664
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:38.519
If you want to be a hairy legged Sasquatch woman,

665
00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:41.159
then find you a man that loves it and you

666
00:39:41.199 --> 00:39:43.760
will be happy and so will he. But do not

667
00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:46.880
message Trey. He is not your person.

668
00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:50.880
I think you're gonna have a hard time finding I

669
00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:54.440
think the guys that love Harry sasquatchwomen are few. I

670
00:39:54.440 --> 00:39:56.000
think they're very much in the minority.

671
00:39:56.960 --> 00:39:59.199
They are, unless you know where to find them. Like

672
00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:01.920
if you feel like going to Yellowstone for a couple

673
00:40:01.920 --> 00:40:03.960
of years, you might find someone out there that's like,

674
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:06.239
oh yeah, give me that, or go on one of

675
00:40:06.239 --> 00:40:10.159
those uh you know, like guys that live on the

676
00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:13.119
Alaskan frontier. They might be all about it might be

677
00:40:13.199 --> 00:40:17.039
very practical to him.

678
00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:21.320
Maybe they have cruises for, you know, Harry women.

679
00:40:21.159 --> 00:40:24.559
Of her you know what, they got cruises for everything else.

680
00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:29.239
So evidently, if you're on a gay cruise and you're

681
00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:30.920
really shocked that you can't get into a lot of

682
00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:33.519
Muslim countries.

683
00:40:36.199 --> 00:40:38.679
What do you mean I can't check out this portocol?

684
00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:39.559
Oh you don't.

685
00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:45.360
This is this is I that's a whole nother. Just

686
00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:47.440
the number of people that are shocked on that cruise

687
00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:49.840
and shocked that they can't get into Turkey and Egypt.

688
00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:55.760
And listen, I don't care your politics. That's not Trump's fault.

689
00:40:57.159 --> 00:41:01.039
No, they were like that already.

690
00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:04.079
Says you've been sold a bill of goods on how

691
00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:08.960
Muslim country seal about your lifestyle. They don't like it.

692
00:41:09.639 --> 00:41:12.079
They'll gravity check you for it. Don't be shocked.

693
00:41:12.599 --> 00:41:15.119
Yeah, look, look there are things you can point fingers

694
00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:18.119
at all day. But that's that's one. That's that's that's

695
00:41:18.239 --> 00:41:20.840
that's not changing anytime soon. And that's not one person's

696
00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:25.760
wont But in this case where this woman who's in

697
00:41:25.800 --> 00:41:27.800
her late thirties or early forties, we're not sure which.

698
00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:30.599
You have a woman here who says her she says

699
00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:32.960
he cheated with a twenty year old because I'm fat

700
00:41:33.280 --> 00:41:36.239
and don't shave my legs. I am fat. She says,

701
00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:40.679
that's true, but not obese or anything, but definitely not

702
00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:44.079
like the twenty year old. He's effing not after three

703
00:41:44.239 --> 00:41:48.519
kids he told me himself, I had no idea. Then

704
00:41:48.599 --> 00:41:52.760
he started talking about separation. No apologies. I guess he

705
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:55.800
did say sorry, but he didn't mean it. No remorse,

706
00:41:56.599 --> 00:41:59.440
No can we fight for our marriage? Mostly blamed me

707
00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:02.840
for not shaving my legs and for letting myself go.

708
00:42:04.920 --> 00:42:06.719
I told him that we can work it out. He

709
00:42:06.840 --> 00:42:10.480
was bewildered, is the right word, said he already cheated.

710
00:42:10.519 --> 00:42:14.199
We can't work it out. I told him we can

711
00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:16.920
if we go to therapy and he stopped chasing twenty

712
00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:23.639
year olds. He asked if I had forgiven him, and

713
00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:26.440
I said no, but I can if he put in

714
00:42:26.480 --> 00:42:28.800
the effort. He said he would never have forgiven me

715
00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:32.239
if I had cheated, so he can't believe that I will.

716
00:42:32.360 --> 00:42:37.639
This is screaming. This guy wants out, but wants her

717
00:42:37.679 --> 00:42:40.639
to make the call, and he's so committed to getting

718
00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:44.280
out of this relationship. He cheated, told her he cheated,

719
00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:46.719
and is like, you want you want to leave me now?

720
00:42:46.800 --> 00:42:47.000
Yes?

721
00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:51.519
And she said no. He's like, well shit, he thought

722
00:42:51.559 --> 00:42:53.519
that would do it, and it's not working out in

723
00:42:53.559 --> 00:42:54.320
the way he thought.

724
00:42:54.679 --> 00:43:03.280
Well, I said, I understand you've put on weight. It

725
00:43:03.360 --> 00:43:09.039
happens to everyone. It but I feel like if you

726
00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:14.719
quit shaving your legs, you've quit doing a lot of things,

727
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:22.199
and there's some things you maybe just can't unsee.

728
00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:21.679
Or on field.

729
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:29.559
Yeah, uh yeah, he clearly, he clearly wants out, and

730
00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:32.079
he just doesn't want to actually be the one to

731
00:43:32.119 --> 00:43:32.440
do it.

732
00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:36.960
No, but he's doing everything but that he's doing he's

733
00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:39.440
cheating on her. He's telling her he's cheating on her.

734
00:43:39.480 --> 00:43:41.559
He's telling her she looks gross to him and that

735
00:43:41.559 --> 00:43:44.440
it's her fault. He's doing everything but drop the hammer

736
00:43:44.480 --> 00:43:48.199
on the relationship. She goes on in her post, she says,

737
00:43:48.239 --> 00:43:52.199
for context, he's been cheated on before, but he did,

738
00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:54.800
and he did leave as soon as he found out.

739
00:43:55.239 --> 00:43:57.599
I thought he was very anti cheating, and he was,

740
00:43:57.719 --> 00:43:59.360
but I guess not now. The only reason I can

741
00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:01.480
even write it all down is because I was already

742
00:44:01.480 --> 00:44:04.079
in therapy and she helped me process it all. My

743
00:44:04.199 --> 00:44:07.599
depression is a reason I let myself go. But I

744
00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:13.079
never denied him sex. He was mostly not interested, which

745
00:44:13.159 --> 00:44:15.960
on that side that tells me that it doesn't sound

746
00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:18.199
like she was initiating either.

747
00:44:19.679 --> 00:44:23.480
But this, you know, also, this isn't just oh I

748
00:44:23.880 --> 00:44:26.920
there's some stubble down there. I mean, clearly she's got

749
00:44:26.960 --> 00:44:30.719
full on. I mean she looks like a dude.

750
00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:40.000
Yeah, she's Yeah. She goes on to say he himself

751
00:44:40.039 --> 00:44:42.440
admits that there is no future with the twenty year old,

752
00:44:42.719 --> 00:44:45.719
but he likes her and he likes Effinger and he

753
00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:51.480
wants to do that as long as possible. God, And

754
00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:55.000
she finally says not finally, but in conclusion, she says,

755
00:44:55.039 --> 00:44:58.800
the humiliation I feel is just so overpowering. He did

756
00:44:58.800 --> 00:45:00.800
tell me to shave my legs once, and I kind

757
00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:04.280
of blew up on him for being shallow. I feel regret.

758
00:45:04.360 --> 00:45:13.599
Now here's here's my advice that she did not ask for.

759
00:45:16.360 --> 00:45:22.199
Go to the gym, watch what you eat. If you

760
00:45:22.239 --> 00:45:24.599
want to shave your legs, shave your legs, whatever the

761
00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:25.320
case is.

762
00:45:25.280 --> 00:45:27.519
Shaft not.

763
00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:30.119
If you want a and go find you a new

764
00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:33.679
go find you a new dude. This dude wants nothing

765
00:45:33.679 --> 00:45:37.800
to do with this relationship or you anymore. You will

766
00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:41.719
be better off without him. And and uh, go do

767
00:45:41.840 --> 00:45:44.079
some stuff for you now. If that's shaving your legs

768
00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:45.280
and you want to do it, do it. If you

769
00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:46.800
want to go to the gym and look better, do it.

770
00:45:46.920 --> 00:45:48.599
If you want to lay in bed and be a

771
00:45:48.639 --> 00:45:51.960
hairy blob that weighs six hundred pounds and you're happy.

772
00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:53.960
My God, more power to you. Just don't call me

773
00:45:54.079 --> 00:45:56.199
when you need to be extricated to go to the hospital.

774
00:45:56.360 --> 00:45:58.159
No, you can have your own reality show at that point.

775
00:45:58.159 --> 00:46:03.360
But but here's the other thing. After you shave your legs,

776
00:46:03.440 --> 00:46:07.159
I am sure you need to at least go get

777
00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:10.679
a a wax. Probably just needed to shave it. But

778
00:46:10.920 --> 00:46:12.920
because if you're not shaving your legs, you're not shaving

779
00:46:12.920 --> 00:46:16.000
other things or keeping it trimmed, and so you probably

780
00:46:16.039 --> 00:46:18.559
look like a sasquatch down there. No one likes that.

781
00:46:19.199 --> 00:46:21.039
At least, you know, get it trimmed up.

782
00:46:21.559 --> 00:46:21.760
Yeah.

783
00:46:21.760 --> 00:46:23.719
Probably probably need to wash it too.

784
00:46:24.800 --> 00:46:29.199
Oh, definitely need to wash it. Yeah. If if the

785
00:46:29.280 --> 00:46:32.119
hair is from one area and the hair on the

786
00:46:32.199 --> 00:46:38.119
legs are connecting, it has gone too far. Now, that's

787
00:46:38.159 --> 00:46:40.960
for most people. Look, leg shaving didn't even used to

788
00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:45.360
be a thing until like the early twentieth century. I'm

789
00:46:45.360 --> 00:46:47.440
glad it is now, like I supposed I guess I

790
00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:49.360
saw this the other day. It was basically a way

791
00:46:49.400 --> 00:46:52.559
to sell more razors, like Gillette, like their ad agency

792
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:54.400
or whatever, was like, hey, we need to sell more razors.

793
00:46:54.440 --> 00:46:56.920
How can we do that? I know, let's make it

794
00:46:56.960 --> 00:46:59.639
a mainstream thing that women are expected to shave their legs.

795
00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:02.119
Now we can sell razors to women as well. And

796
00:47:02.119 --> 00:47:05.039
that's kind of what happened, and I'm okay with it.

797
00:47:05.320 --> 00:47:08.679
Truth pressures weren't really a thing either. You know. That

798
00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:12.960
doesn't mean that you shouldn't use one or not using

799
00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:13.920
one is okay.

800
00:47:14.440 --> 00:47:17.079
Yeah, it doesn't mean that going back to ginger vitis

801
00:47:17.159 --> 00:47:21.840
land is oh naturel. Just because something is going back

802
00:47:21.880 --> 00:47:24.599
in time doesn't mean it's getting back to who you are.

803
00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:28.480
Sometimes it's just you know, regression, regression, regressing, you know

804
00:47:28.480 --> 00:47:33.039
what I mean. This dude wants nothing to do with

805
00:47:33.119 --> 00:47:37.920
this relationship. So whatever you do, ma'am going forward, do

806
00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:40.159
it for yourself, not for this guy. This guy wants

807
00:47:40.199 --> 00:47:42.320
nothing to do with this relationship. And I don't know

808
00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:45.400
if that would have mattered even if you weren't fat

809
00:47:45.440 --> 00:47:46.960
and didn't shave your legs.

810
00:47:47.719 --> 00:47:49.760
You sound like Will Smith and Men in Black after

811
00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:56.559
he'sap's that girl and tells her go get the lobster

812
00:47:56.639 --> 00:48:06.800
in Thailand or whatever, get some clothes, makeover. Yeah.

813
00:48:07.039 --> 00:48:11.719
Uh, And finally, today this is a sentence I never

814
00:48:11.719 --> 00:48:15.360
thought I would say, have you ever been so mad

815
00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:20.159
at somebody that you cut off your penis and used

816
00:48:20.159 --> 00:48:21.760
it to set their garage on fire?

817
00:48:25.679 --> 00:48:27.719
I can't say that I have. And I've been very

818
00:48:27.719 --> 00:48:31.880
angry with some people, but off my own body parts

819
00:48:31.960 --> 00:48:33.280
never crossed my mind.

820
00:48:33.719 --> 00:48:35.880
Right now, let me make this a question a little

821
00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:38.960
more appointed. Have you ever been so angry at your

822
00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:42.400
mother that you cut off your penis and you used

823
00:48:42.400 --> 00:48:43.960
it to set her garage on fire?

824
00:48:45.519 --> 00:48:49.360
No? No, and and I I feel like I am

825
00:48:49.400 --> 00:48:52.119
an expert in being pissed off at your mother? But no,

826
00:48:53.360 --> 00:48:55.360
and how exactly do you do that? You like, stick

827
00:48:55.360 --> 00:48:56.480
a candle in the pee hole?

828
00:48:56.559 --> 00:49:02.119
What? A black cat? Yeah?

829
00:49:02.920 --> 00:49:03.840
A Roman candle?

830
00:49:04.719 --> 00:49:05.400
Some sea for.

831
00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:07.519
Ye.

832
00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:10.719
This is a story that you know, pardon the pun,

833
00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:16.440
but caught fire last week for obvious reasons, and it should.

834
00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:21.320
An Indiana man cut off his penis and used it

835
00:49:21.360 --> 00:49:28.639
to set his mother's garage on fire. I have never

836
00:49:28.679 --> 00:49:30.840
been that angry. And don't get me wrong, I have

837
00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:34.800
been really angry at things or even people in my life,

838
00:49:35.400 --> 00:49:41.119
I think deservedly so. But I have never been so

839
00:49:41.400 --> 00:49:45.960
mad that I cut off an appendage and used it

840
00:49:46.000 --> 00:49:49.400
as kindling to start a fire. I've been mad enough

841
00:49:49.480 --> 00:49:52.039
at some people that I've thought about burning down their house,

842
00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:54.079
but not with anything of mine.

843
00:49:54.639 --> 00:49:56.920
I've thought about cutting off their body parts and burning

844
00:49:56.920 --> 00:49:57.920
stuff to the ground, but.

845
00:49:57.840 --> 00:50:01.960
Not my own. Same. So prosecutors charged to Fort Wayne,

846
00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:05.000
Indiana man with arson after he was accused of cutting

847
00:50:05.039 --> 00:50:06.840
off his wiener and using it to burn down his

848
00:50:06.880 --> 00:50:14.559
mom's garage. Christopher Peden, thirty six, was doing court back

849
00:50:14.599 --> 00:50:17.119
in May for the fire and the detached garage on

850
00:50:17.159 --> 00:50:20.440
his mother's property. A fire investigator got to the home

851
00:50:20.480 --> 00:50:25.719
to investigate an incident. According to the affidavit, his mom

852
00:50:25.760 --> 00:50:28.360
and brother lived at the home. They informed investigators at

853
00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:30.559
the garage had no electricity and only a small gas

854
00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:34.159
can for the lawnmower. His brother also reported that Christopher

855
00:50:34.199 --> 00:50:37.079
Pedon was nowhere to be found. Sometime later, police found

856
00:50:37.079 --> 00:50:40.679
an injured man claiming he'd been stabbed in downtown Fort Wayne.

857
00:50:40.760 --> 00:50:43.519
While investigating the stabbing, police connected him to being the

858
00:50:43.519 --> 00:50:47.079
missing person from the garage. Fire medics rushed him to

859
00:50:47.079 --> 00:50:49.639
the hospital for treatment, where the affidavit said he confessed

860
00:50:49.679 --> 00:50:51.920
to police that he was dishonest about the stabbing and

861
00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:56.360
that he wanted to be truthful. You know, I imagine

862
00:50:56.360 --> 00:50:58.039
there's a number of people in this world that think

863
00:50:58.039 --> 00:51:00.400
cutting off the penes might actually make men more treesful.

864
00:51:01.079 --> 00:51:03.280
It seems to be accurate. In this case. Police say

865
00:51:03.280 --> 00:51:05.239
he admitted to the fire. He told officers he went

866
00:51:05.239 --> 00:51:07.199
to his mother's garage round two am cut off his

867
00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:10.119
penis with a kitchen knife. From there, he reportedly poured

868
00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:12.639
gasoline on it and set it on fire on the

869
00:51:12.679 --> 00:51:15.519
floor of the garage, just inside the door. Then after

870
00:51:15.559 --> 00:51:17.719
starting the fire, he walked away from their property and

871
00:51:17.800 --> 00:51:20.719
let the fire burn. I don't even know how you walk.

872
00:51:23.960 --> 00:51:29.639
Collected as evidence at the scene the red gasoline container, lighters,

873
00:51:29.840 --> 00:51:35.400
and a knife. And I don't it turned out to

874
00:51:35.440 --> 00:51:37.639
be a pretty big fire too, because police also noticed

875
00:51:37.960 --> 00:51:40.119
or police also noted in the same Affidavid that the

876
00:51:40.119 --> 00:51:43.679
fire also damaged two additional properties and two vehicles.

877
00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:53.039
But that I what was he trying? I mean, he's like, see, mom,

878
00:51:53.079 --> 00:51:54.000
I didn't go blind.

879
00:51:57.199 --> 00:52:00.440
What There's so many questions with this story, not the

880
00:52:00.519 --> 00:52:04.000
least of which is what did she do? I want

881
00:52:04.039 --> 00:52:08.400
to know what he thinks was so bad that that

882
00:52:08.559 --> 00:52:11.559
was an equal and proportional response.

883
00:52:12.639 --> 00:52:14.440
How much myth was involved.

884
00:52:15.840 --> 00:52:19.599
A fair question as well. The story does not say,

885
00:52:20.079 --> 00:52:23.119
but you know, you just know that it had to

886
00:52:23.159 --> 00:52:27.639
be either drug induced or some sort of schizophrenic episode

887
00:52:27.719 --> 00:52:28.440
or maybe both.

888
00:52:28.760 --> 00:52:31.920
Well, it's like it'll come out because there was a

889
00:52:31.920 --> 00:52:35.519
story months ago about a guy I think it was

890
00:52:35.519 --> 00:52:39.119
in California who like cut off his own penis. Uh

891
00:52:39.559 --> 00:52:44.239
And yeah, then they came out with the I want

892
00:52:44.280 --> 00:52:46.480
to say, maybe it's adtops results. I don't remember if

893
00:52:46.480 --> 00:52:49.599
he died or not, but oh, he died. High amounts

894
00:52:49.599 --> 00:52:50.840
of myth were involved.

895
00:52:51.000 --> 00:52:55.960
Like an alarming lethal amount of myth involved in that case.

896
00:52:56.039 --> 00:53:03.320
Yeah. Yeah, I mean as someone who is you know,

897
00:53:03.599 --> 00:53:11.719
suffering through bipolar depression, everything, alcoholism. But if there's one

898
00:53:11.760 --> 00:53:15.480
thing guys for the most really hold near and dear,

899
00:53:16.559 --> 00:53:17.280
it's their junk.

900
00:53:18.360 --> 00:53:24.800
M that. I believe that is a very fine line

901
00:53:24.840 --> 00:53:28.760
of demarcation of your mental health. You can have issues

902
00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:34.320
all the way up to do you feel the need

903
00:53:34.360 --> 00:53:36.519
to cut off your own junk? As long as you're

904
00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:40.960
beneath that line, maybe some things are manageable. But if

905
00:53:41.000 --> 00:53:43.239
you go into a therapy session and they ask you,

906
00:53:43.559 --> 00:53:46.320
have you ever considered harming yourself and others? And you're

907
00:53:46.400 --> 00:53:48.559
like yeah, and they go, well, tell me more about that.

908
00:53:48.559 --> 00:53:50.440
I like, well, I thought about cutting off my penis

909
00:53:50.440 --> 00:53:53.480
setting it on fire in my mom's garage. I hope

910
00:53:53.519 --> 00:53:57.039
at that point you get committed somewhere, because that is

911
00:53:57.119 --> 00:53:59.760
beyond the line of normal mental health. I think.

912
00:54:01.760 --> 00:54:03.800
I feel like ed Geen's this guy's role model.

913
00:54:06.320 --> 00:54:13.119
Even ed Geen didn't cut off his own even ed

914
00:54:13.239 --> 00:54:18.000
Gean didn't cross that line, and multiple movies have been

915
00:54:18.000 --> 00:54:18.960
made about him. Uh huh.

916
00:54:20.400 --> 00:54:22.480
He tucked it back, but he still kept it on.

917
00:54:22.920 --> 00:54:27.079
That's right. He'll talk it, but he'll keep it. Thank
