Thank you.

14
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:53.000
All right, So, uh, we all don't know each other

15
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:55.920
that well. We've been getting there, we've been working on it.

16
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.399
So I don't know if you've ever been around Rebecca

17
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:03.159
when Trey has shared with us his deep, deep insights

18
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:07.439
on not just politics, but Louisiana politics. And what I

19
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.120
mean by that is that, Trey, what is your impression

20
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.959
or opinion of Louisiana politics on the whole.

21
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.599
Louisiana and Chicago are the two dirtiest politics there are

22
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:25.200
and it's corrupt, dirty, filthy.

23
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:30.400
Yeah, well, this news story is going to reinforce that

24
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:33.560
opinion and perhaps take it to a whole new level.

25
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:42.640
The disgraced former mayor of a Louisiana town I was

26
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.560
caught by her son screwing his drunk friend at a

27
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:48.400
booze fueled party.

28
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:55.599
Who she a hot mom.

29
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:58.280
According to a new report of this story that has

30
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.840
been captivating me so far this week is that the

31
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:06.079
disgraced mayor's son screamed at her after the drunken romp

32
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:14.680
with his buddy, saying, you fed my best friend. According

33
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:19.479
to additional reports, Jill Weaver, the best friend and former

34
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:23.199
sister in law of ex d Ridder mayor Misty Roberts,

35
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.400
told jurors she overheard the tense exchange between Roberts and

36
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:28.599
her son after she was asked to come to the

37
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:32.840
boozy party around eight pm on July twentieth, twenty twenty four.

38
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.159
He was saying Roberts f't his best friend. Weaver called

39
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.080
the Beauregard Parish county God, I love the parish names

40
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:45.479
in Louisiana. The Beauregard trial of the fight between the

41
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:48.400
mom and HER's son, Roberts, was the most drunk she'd

42
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:50.680
ever seen her, according to the TV outlet the former

43
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:52.879
mayor's best He left the party around eleven o'clock and

44
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:54.759
was asked to return by her own son around two

45
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.520
am after Roberts accused him of taking a video of

46
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.120
her allegedly sexually assaulting a drunk tea at a part.

47
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:04.759
That got dramatically worse.

48
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:07.439
Really did mean, I.

49
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.919
Don't know which direction to follow right now.

50
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:11.919
Welcome to Louisiana.

51
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:13.280
It's nuts.

52
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.400
Then the teenagers showed their phones to the two adults

53
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:19.919
to prove they didn't have videos of the incident. Weaver

54
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.080
would eventually text her own son to lie till you

55
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:27.199
die about the chaotic night, and admitted she spoke to

56
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.039
Roberts about how to keep the kids from apporting the

57
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:35.120
alleged assault that they witnessed two authorities. Man, this just

58
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:39.400
gets nuttier and nuttier. A jerry saw an interview of

59
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:41.879
the Sun, telling investigators he saw his mom. He saw

60
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:43.680
his mom hooking up with his pal through a crack

61
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.639
in the window. The small town mayor's daughter also testified

62
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:48.639
she saw Roberts and the sixteen year olds on top

63
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:52.840
of each other. Roberts resigned as the mayor of d Ritter,

64
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.759
a town of ninety eight hundred, days before her twenty

65
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:59.280
twenty four arrest. She faces two charges of carnal knowledge

66
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.039
of a juvenile and in decent behavior with a juvenile.

67
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.120
She's played it not guilty, although if you read the

68
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:07.680
headlines from the New York Post, it ain't looking good.

69
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:12.840
Doesn't sound good either.

70
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.600
Look, I know this is this is trite to say it,

71
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:21.759
but I feel like it bears repeating. Is this happening

72
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.759
more nowadays? Or are we just hearing about it more

73
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:28.600
because of the rise of the internet and social media,

74
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:34.639
Because I can only recall one alleged situation in high

75
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:36.839
school where there may or may not have been some

76
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:43.720
dalliance or dalliances with a teacher in students. But now

77
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.319
it seems almost kind of like a like a pandemic

78
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:47.759
or a new epandemic.

79
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.519
I think it's always been going on, Yeah, you think so,

80
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:53.240
It just it seems worse.

81
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:54.360
It just seems worse.

82
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:57.879
I think it's like what you said, we keep hearing

83
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.199
about it gets in the news daily now because we

84
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.879
have twenty four to seven access to the internet and

85
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:04.079
news cycles.

86
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:05.879
And all that kind of stuff, is it?

87
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:07.600
Maybe? And this is this is a this is a

88
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:09.439
quick theory off the top of my head, just hearing

89
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.040
you speak on it, Rebecca. Is it possible that when

90
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.439
we were younger and this sort of stuff was going on,

91
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.399
we just kept quiet about it because we thought it

92
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:23.199
was cool. Yeah, and then as times have evolved, we've

93
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:28.040
now learned that actually, not necessarily cool, kind of criminal

94
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.759
and we should probably shine a light on it.

95
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:34.439
Not even kind of criminal. It is criminals.

96
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:39.399
Six year old it is. But remind me to have

97
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.959
Trey tell you about the time he lost his virginity sometime.

98
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:46.480
I don't know if I want to know that story.

99
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:48.519
You may not. I think that should be a story

100
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.000
for another day, another day.

101
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:52.959
Yeah, well, we'll break into that at another time.

102
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.600
What easy end, No, it's I.

103
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:03.160
It's been going on for ages now. I I will

104
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:08.680
say this, I think, but when we were growing up,

105
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:12.240
I think it was far more male teachers female students. Yep, right,

106
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:17.480
And I think you now see and this is generally

107
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.160
where it goes sideways, is because now a lot of

108
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:24.199
times it's female teachers male students, and the male students

109
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.720
can't keep their fucking mouth shut.

110
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.279
The bragging to think if I.

111
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.399
The only one that thinks the whole idea of getting

112
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:35.839
with a sixteen year old is insane, Like, what do

113
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:39.399
they have to talk about? What is the common interest there?

114
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.879
It's a sixteen year old idiot kid, there's nothing.

115
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:47.279
I think the common interest. See, the common interest is

116
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:49.800
staring at you right in the right in the face, repack.

117
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.720
It is not about conversation, it's not about connecting over

118
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:55.759
shared interests. It's about one thing and one thing only.

119
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:59.160
Even that one thing is very, very gross to me.

120
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.680
And I assume that means my brain is on the appropriate.

121
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:02.920
Track of life.

122
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:05.920
I would agree with that. On the railroad of life,

123
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:10.399
you're on the right side of the tracks. It's woo

124
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:15.319
woo woo. There you go. But I think I think

125
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:17.000
Trey hit it. I think, and this is why I

126
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:23.040
said kind of criminal because as a sixteen year old guy,

127
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.439
the idea of hooking up with let's say, what you

128
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:27.600
think to be is your hot twenty four year old

129
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:31.560
teacher doesn't sound like a bad thing. It doesn't feel

130
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:36.879
criminal if you're doing it.

131
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:41.720
No, this is you're literally you are literally spelling out

132
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:43.759
the difference between girl brain and boy brain.

133
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:44.199
Right now.

134
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.279
Yeah, And I'm like, and this is kind of this weird,

135
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:50.360
sort of stereotypical, like it's cool for the dudes to

136
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:52.560
have sex, not cool for the chicks to have sex,

137
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:53.639
type whatever.

138
00:07:53.920 --> 00:08:00.319
Right, a little bit, But here's the thing. If and

139
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:02.959
I think, Rebecca, I think you're onto something and that

140
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:08.240
there is a difference male teachers female students, it's always oh,

141
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:09.160
the young, hot.

142
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:09.480
Chic.

143
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:14.319
Female teachers. I think it's the same demographic that you

144
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:18.720
would see in the office place or anything else. Usually

145
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:25.399
I would say mid thirties, probably mid thirties up, probably

146
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:29.319
dysfunctional home life, not getting attention. And whereas if you

147
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.039
were in a normal office space they might have an

148
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:36.000
attraction and an affair with a co worker. They kind

149
00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:38.759
of are having an attraction affair with a co worker.

150
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:40.559
The problem is that coworkers underage.

151
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:44.240
Yeah, so my thinking on this has shifted just a

152
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:48.960
little bit in the last couple of minutes to this, Yes,

153
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:54.639
there are predatory behaviors at play in some of these instances. However,

154
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:58.159
in some of these instances, especially when it's you know,

155
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:02.559
the female teacher and the male student who might be fifteen, sixteen,

156
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:08.480
seventeen years old, I think there can be a little

157
00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:11.159
bit of this train goes both ways. That was a

158
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:14.399
bad time for upon my apologies, but I still feel

159
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:19.240
it's accurate, and I want to throw this little wrinkle

160
00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:23.279
on top of it. If at sixteen years old I

161
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:28.679
murdered somebody, i'd probably depending on the circumstances, get charged

162
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:32.559
with murder. I'd be charged as an adult. But nowadays

163
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:35.120
I might still be charged as an adult if I

164
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.200
kill somebody as a sixteen year old. But if I

165
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.919
have sex with my teacher, I'm treated like a minor

166
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.519
and like, oh, you don't know what you were doing.

167
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:51.360
You know this happened, and this happened, even if let's

168
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:54.000
just say I was like, God, no, I wanted this.

169
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:55.960
Believe me, I wanted. I got the text and we

170
00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:58.399
were going back and forth and stuff. So basically, when

171
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:00.200
I'm getting out in a very long witded way, is like,

172
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.440
if its sixteen year old can be held liable as

173
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:07.320
an adult in court for murder, why not accept responsibility

174
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.440
for two way relationship.

175
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:14.879
Because of the age difference, Because you're automatically still at sixteen,

176
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:19.080
you have not formed, you have not completely developed, and

177
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:23.080
you have someone who has who's engaging in what you

178
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:27.720
know is an inappropriate relationship. But here's the thing I mean,

179
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:30.679
and this is just, especially when you're talking about high

180
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:35.960
school boys. You just want someone to play with it.

181
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:37.919
And if it's a teacher who will do it, yes,

182
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:38.600
so be it.

183
00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:41.679
Hold on not to man explaining Rebecca. But he's not

184
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:42.519
wrong about that.

185
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:44.240
I'm not saying that he is.

186
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:46.000
I want to go back to what Dan was talking about,

187
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.159
and I don't disagree with your thought process on what

188
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:48.639
you're saying.

189
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:50.080
However, I think even.

190
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:52.559
If the sixteen year old shows up in court and like, yes,

191
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:57.039
I wanted this so bad, like I was fully participatory

192
00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.200
in it, I don't think that negates the wrong us

193
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:00.919
on the teacher's end.

194
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:01.679
Does that make sense?

195
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:04.639
I think the teacher should still stand trial, still go

196
00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:06.639
to jail, still serve time, do punishment.

197
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:09.240
I think that's fair. I think that is fair because

198
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.320
they know the relationship is wrong. One from me, they

199
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:14.600
do authority, one from a I think there's two problems

200
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:18.360
at play from a legal standpoint. One is from an

201
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:21.240
authority figure being a teacher and a student relationship, and

202
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:24.440
the other is the age of consent and the age

203
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:25.360
separation difference.

204
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:28.759
And then you know if this truly is love between

205
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:30.960
the teacher and the sixteen year old, you're gonna marry

206
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.320
Kay Laturnot and you're gonna go and serve your time

207
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:34.879
in jail and then come back and get married to

208
00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:36.519
your high school sweetheart.

209
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:38.840

247
00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:15.240
show today, you said something about was it Jessica something

248
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:16.039
that you said.

249
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:21.559
Yeah, aren't they trying to make Jessica the new name

250
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:22.600
for Karen's.

251
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:26.679
Yeah, there was so gen Z for some reason. Oh

252
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:28.840
you know what I know the reason. Gen Z feels

253
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:33.919
like renaming everything in the world that already exists and

254
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:37.639
trying to make it quote unquote their discovery. Right now

255
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:38.919
they're doing it with Karen.

256
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:40.000
Ah.

257
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:44.440
Okay, Karen is the you know, the viral label of

258
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:47.480
let me see your manager, middle aged woman with the

259
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:50.639
Karen haircut kind of thing, and now gen Z is

260
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:55.679
redubbing it as Jessica, saying Jessica is the new Karen.

261
00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:59.440
As of early twenty twenty six, I only.

262
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:02.840
Know cool Jessa, so I'm confused by why that name.

263
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:05.559
I don't think I know a Jessica currently.

264
00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:08.840
I know too, and they're both delightful.

265
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:17.440
I've known a couple of good Karens, like actually named Karens. Yeah, yeah,

266
00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:19.519
so it's kind of unfair because you know, some of

267
00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:22.159
the Karens I've known have actually similar, you know, actually

268
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.360
really really nice ladies. I don't right, but yeah, Jessica

269
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:30.320
is used to describe entitled, often younger women who post

270
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:34.159
long rants about minor inconveniences and insist on being right.

271
00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:39.480
Oh no, this might actually be a little bit of you, Rebecca.

272
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:42.720
The right part is that what gave it away?

273
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:51.960
What well? Karen targeted middle aged women. Jessica specifically targets

274
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:55.399
millennials born in the eighties, a peak era for the name.

275
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:58.519
I mean, yes, I will agree it was a peak

276
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:01.000
era for the name. But the more you talk, the

277
00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:05.080
more I'm like, Okay, maybe Rebecca should be the new Karen.

278
00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:05.799
Rebecca.

279
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:08.399
You know, I'll be honest with you. I'm a little

280
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:11.639
biased when it comes to that because that's my mother's name. Okay,

281
00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:17.000
that's that wasn't a good thing. So like when people say, oh,

282
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:22.840
someone's ow's a Karen, I usually think better than a Rebecca.

283
00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:23.399
Is.

284
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:27.320
Yeah, I mean my mom was kind of mean. Sometimes.

285
00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:32.600
I love my mom, but she knows, she knows she's tough.

286
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:35.159
H You're a little different because you're Rebecca with a K.

287
00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:36.600
That kind of puts you in a different way.

288
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:40.639
I like to think I'm special because of that. Uh

289
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:43.360
tray Portray trying to talk over here.

290
00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:50.759
Who in the does gen Z think they are complaining

291
00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:57.879
about young women, ranting about the most minor of inconveniences.

292
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:06.519
Have some prospection and look at yourself. Good Lord.

293
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:11.519
Again, they're just trying to steal everything that we created

294
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:14.799
and pass it off as their own. They're not original

295
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:17.039
in any way, shape or form. Like, we already did

296
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:19.079
all of this, all the things that they are trying

297
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:21.519
to bring back in style, we already did it.

298
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:24.440
Yeah, you can, you can relabel it all you want.

299
00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:27.119
We know what it is. We know, we know the

300
00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:29.119
mid drift thing happened before you did it. We know

301
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:31.920
the Jinkos were around before you did it. I just

302
00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:35.119
saw an ad the other day for god damn Jean shorts.

303
00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:38.000
If those come back from gym Z, you deserve all

304
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:39.240
that smoke that you're gonna get.

305
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:41.279
Oh, they brought back the mullet. They deserve it all.

306
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:44.680
But there's there's a name for this that's been universal

307
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:47.400
and timeless.

308
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:49.359
That's true.

309
00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:54.039
How dare you use that word? Do you understand?

310
00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:59.240
How do you not understand how completely powerful that is

311
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:00.720
that body part is?

312
00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:01.319
Sir?

313
00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:04.759
Oh No, he does, he absolutely does, And.

314
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:08.799
How delightful that body part is. You're lucky that we

315
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:12.480
grace you with its presence sometimes. So don't you ever

316
00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:16.160
come at me with that word or anybody else for

317
00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:16.640
that matter.

318
00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:18.680
Oh, Rebecca, I got bad news.

319
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:24.480
My favorite word Trey. Trey should have been born in Australia. Yeah,

320
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:26.680
he was born. He was technically born in the wrong

321
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:28.119
country or England.

322
00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:30.480
They love that word as well because like you put

323
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:31.759
a y on it, which.

324
00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:35.240
Is it's a word that can mean so much. It

325
00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:39.640
is so it is so useful.

326
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:45.000
It turns on in more ways than what clear look at.

327
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:46.920
He can't even talk. He likes this word.

328
00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:50.960
So it is. It's it because not only not only

329
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:54.640
can you just it's like lighting a stick of dynamite

330
00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:58.200
and just dropping it and just scorching the earth. But

331
00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:00.000
it can be it can be playful, it can be

332
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.960
you know, it can be insulting, but not into First

333
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:07.359
of all, the biggest problem with the word is that

334
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:10.440
it's been focused on women, where it's really it's a

335
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:16.480
universal word. It's not just women. It's men can equally

336
00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:17.240
be stupid.

337
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:21.759
That's right, we can all be agreed. Yep, Trey, I

338
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:23.240
need your be pier a second, so I just follow

339
00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:25.039
my fingers. I don't have my stuff with me here,

340
00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:30.720
so uh man, woman, something in between or something else altogether.

341
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:34.240
Can all be dicks? Same thing can be said. All

342
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:36.839
these people where all people, we can also all be

343
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:44.839
so anyway, gen Z has dubbed Jessica the new Karen. Also,

344
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:47.039
don't want to leave this out in case you get

345
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:50.279
hit with a Brittany. The Jessica archetype is associated with

346
00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:51.119
I already mentioned that.

347
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:51.519
Hang on.

348
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:56.519
Some discussion suggests Britney could also fit, though Jessica has

349
00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:00.319
gained more traction as the primary successor. I think Britney

350
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.400
would be more like crazy because of Britney spears antics.

351
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:06.559
So anyway, by the way, the name, in case you

352
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:09.799
missed it, the name of the Louisiana former Louisiana mayor

353
00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:12.920
who has caught with her sixteen year old best friend.

354
00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:17.599
Her name is Jill, so doesn't fall into any of those.

355
00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:22.079
But that's a that's a whole.

356
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:25.160
Other that's a whole other category.

357
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:27.359
Thank you. That's where I was thinking, a different category, allgey.

358
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:30.240
I think, yeah, like that's that's another topic for another

359
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.640
day on where we're putting sex offenders versus Karen's.

360
00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:36.039
All right, Trey, can I borrow your beat again?

361
00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:36.279
Here?

362
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:36.799
All right?

363
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:43.599
Thank you? Okay, so speak speaking of Dix and did

364
00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:47.319
you see the anchor clash out of NBC Texoma this

365
00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:48.519
week in.

366
00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:49.319
In our forecast.

367
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:51.799
But something that is in the not so.

368
00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:54.759
Distant future that we can forecast is Midland.

369
00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:57.680
We don't have any rating forecast in the next few.

370
00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:00.599
Days, but in the next two guys, we have mid

371
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:01.279
the radio.

372
00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:03.279
I just said a second ago, we have rained the

373
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:05.160
fotunes right.

374
00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:08.319
Well, the day of the event.

375
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:11.240
I have I'm not talking, I'm talking.

376
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:13.079
Actually the range is coming forward.

377
00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:15.480
Kind of correct people, and just your job.

378
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:22.839
I just don't know why you don't listen to me anyways, Okay,

379
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:24.599
anyways radio days.

380
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:30.039
I mean in her defense, for one second, he does

381
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:31.200
look like a real.

382
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:34.119
Tray your favorite word.

383
00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:39.759
Oh, they both look like complete.

384
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:43.319
I need your beat beginning tray. This is what happens

385
00:21:43.319 --> 00:21:45.720
when collide.

386
00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:51.920
Yeah, in Texo, God bless their like program director who

387
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:54.440
is like, let's put these two a holes and put

388
00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:56.480
them against each other every single day.

389
00:21:57.279 --> 00:21:59.880
I think it's brilliant on the news part. Yes, but

390
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:02.920
those two together, watch the sparks fly and watch the

391
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:03.680
ratings fly.

392
00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:08.160
Also props to the sound guy for not muting their

393
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:10.279
mics at some point.

394
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:13.960
That's a sound guy that is seasoned. He's not he's

395
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:17.920
not protecting anybody. He has one job and he's going

396
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:24.000
to do it well. Audio good, sound, good, on done.

397
00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:32.839
If you are, you know, stuck in Texoma TV, you're

398
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:35.480
you're looking for any angle to get out of there,

399
00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:39.359
because chances are you're stuck in like Sherman Dennison love

400
00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:41.599
the area. But you know, if you're, if you're if

401
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:46.440
you're a TV person, that's not yo, You're you're you're

402
00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:47.559
trying to get out of there.

403
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:50.880
That's yeah, that's what they that's what that's what's called

404
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:54.279
a springboard market. It's a smaller market near a major market.

405
00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:57.319
You go to that market so then you can springboard

406
00:22:57.400 --> 00:22:59.799
hopefully into the large market nearby.

407
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:02.960
And there was there was an anchor, a Dallas anchor

408
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:05.720
that had to basically like go down to the miners

409
00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:07.599
there because he had done something. And I can't remember

410
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:08.119
who it was.

411
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:15.599
I believe it was Scott Chusner from NBC Meteorologists, almost

412
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:22.359
positive Scott Sam's I don't even know. Sometimes they just

413
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:24.559
like contract his future something. And then he went and

414
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:26.279
he was doing weather in Texama. He just did it

415
00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:28.240
there for a while. I don't remember if what sort

416
00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:30.160
of dispute there was. I don't think there was necessarily

417
00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:33.000
any controversy. But that's just one guy. I remember, like

418
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:36.640
who went quote unquote backwards by going from Dallas to

419
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:41.480
Sherman Dennison as opposed to what's typically the opposite, and

420
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:42.480
it's going up.

421
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:44.119
Oh, what an ego blowed.

422
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:46.240
I have to go backward if you're in Dallas and

423
00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:47.599
then you have to go to like Sherman.

424
00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:50.880
Ooh, it's an ego blow. But you know what got

425
00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:54.960
you gotta pay the bills as a as as a meteorologist.

426
00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:56.440
You only got so many options.

427
00:23:57.559 --> 00:23:58.519
That's so true.

428
00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:01.880
I do hope, though weirdly, that their little viral clip

429
00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:03.920
here has skyrocketed.

430
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:04.519
One of them into a new position.

431
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:11.759
Not yet, I mean I said, I hope, yeah, yeah, Look,

432
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:14.039
the week's not over. It still could happen.

433
00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:17.359
Or was anybody even watching it? Like nobody actually saw

434
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:18.359
it maybe.

435
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:20.720
Maybe not on TV, but everybody's been watching it online.

436
00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:22.640
I mean, I just played for he was out of

437
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:23.519
the Houston Chronicle.

438
00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:26.240
Oh wow, okay, so then okay, it's on its way up.

439
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:30.920
I mean, honestly, if you're a news director, you don't

440
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:33.160
want to import pain in the ass because you know

441
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:34.920
they're going to turn into a pain in the ass

442
00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:37.160
once they reach a major market.

443
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:40.799
Oh for sure, that's true, and looks sometimes you're just

444
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:42.440
going to be paired with people that you don't get

445
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:44.920
along with, and in this case, you got two people

446
00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:48.640
who clearly don't listen to one another.

447
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:51.359
Well, I mean, that's exactly what happened.

448
00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:55.079
That was like, I mean, and obviously these are major

449
00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:58.640
market figures. But remember it was John McKay and Dale

450
00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:01.960
Hansen who got into it one day.

451
00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:03.039
That was good.

452
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:06.880
John McKay blew the lead right on. I don't was

453
00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:08.119
it Cowboys or Super Bowl?

454
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:11.799
I can't even remember, or Rangers or something, but yeah, yeah,

455
00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:13.720
then and I can't pull it up right now off

456
00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:17.440
the fly, but it was McKay says that as if

457
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:20.759
doing the teas and then and then Dale Hansen's left

458
00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:22.680
hanging just like, well, why don't you do this story?

459
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:23.039
John?

460
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:24.000
Yeah?

461
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:28.599
I mean, and Dale Hansen was a six six hunt.

462

new message on the Treehouse talkback line from our buddy JAYC.

475
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:41.400
What's up, guys, It's JC uh and I was just uh,

476
00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:46.960
I guess voicing in to say if I heard ra

477
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:48.799
I was talking about Godfree the other day and it

478
00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:54.960
reminded me of Godfree, asking uh this other African dude

479
00:26:55.359 --> 00:27:00.599
to translate the Lion King song and it is hilarious.

480
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:01.480
You should look it up.

481
00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:02.839
It made me laugh.

482
00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:07.000
I had to watch it like three times, so enjoy.

483
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:09.359
If you look it up anyway.

484
00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:11.640
I guess I'll catch y'all later.

485
00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:15.799

Yaying like, no, you were way off, all right.

493
00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:41.680
What is his name?

494
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:42.960
It means loop.

495
00:27:43.759 --> 00:27:44.480
There's a lion.

496
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:46.160
Oh my god.

497
00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:55.000
The guy's scream laughing is god for the comedian and

his co host on the show going you you cannot

be serious with this.

500
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:01.160
All right? What does it mean?

501
00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:04.000
It means loop, there's a lion.

502
00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:12.000
Oh my god, joking, not what that means. That is

503
00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:13.000
not what that means.

504
00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:15.000
That's exactly what it means.

505
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:20.440
Look, there's a lion. Oh my god, there's a lion.

506
00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:24.039
Oh my god, a lion.

507
00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:30.599
I wasn't prepared for this in today's show. And the

508
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:32.680
thing that always, the thing that always gets me with

509
00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:35.720
these clips, whether it's on another podcast like this or

510
00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:38.880
especially like in TV studios like we were doing with

511
00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:41.599
the anchor clash before, is when you hear the floor

512
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.000
personnel laughing off camera and oh my god, I love that.

513
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:46.400
Oh god.

514
00:28:46.480 --> 00:28:46.880
This is like.

515
00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:50.519
I saw this clip and I laughed by myself. I

516
00:28:50.599 --> 00:28:53.559
was laying in bed scrolling and came across this clip,

517
00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:56.400
watched and was dying laughing alone, which is, you know,

518
00:28:56.440 --> 00:28:56.960
it's funny.

519
00:28:57.000 --> 00:28:58.119
If you're laughing alone.

520
00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:01.039
Yeah, this is why gets me in trouble when my

521
00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:02.799
wife rolls over to go to sleep and I'm still

522
00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:05.200
scrolling and I come across this and start shaking the

523
00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:08.440
bed because I'm trying to hold the laughter in but

524
00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:11.400
I got really big lungs and it's impossible. And yeah,

525
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:16.119
so this this rating joking what that means.

526
00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:18.200
That is not what that means.

527
00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:20.200
That's exactly what it means.

528
00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:25.640
Look, there's a lion. Oh my god, there's a lion.

529
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:29.279
Oh my god.

530
00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:37.160
The second there's a lion. I don't know why. The

531
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:39.279
second one is so much funnier.

532
00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:42.000
And I'm like, here, we've been watching this movie for

533
00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:47.240
a million years and thought that this was some prolific song, right,

534
00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:50.359
bringing the worlds together, And all it is is, hey,

535
00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:51.279
look there's a lion.

536
00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:57.680
Yeah, and it's so so stupid. All we had to

537
00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:00.839
do was watch the close captioning of the film, and

538
00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:04.319
I'm assuming it says it there in the lyrics and

539
00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:06.240
it's trans I don't know, because I've never watched The

540
00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:11.480
Lion King. Uh, you know it. I've never watched I've

541
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:13.640
seen the movie plenty, I've never watched The Lion King.

542
00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:16.720
With the close captions on or the subtitles, so I

543
00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:20.839
don't know if it actually translates that language into the

544
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:23.480
English so we can see it's a lion. Because if

545
00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:26.759
I had, I've been like, wait a minute, really that

546
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:28.559
seems kind of wheat.

547
00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:31.240
Didn't that song win like oscars?

548
00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:32.279
Yeah?

549
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:37.640
I think the soundtrack did the movie one oscars uh?

550
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:40.400
And I think I'm with you, Rebecca as far as

551
00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:43.680
the uh the second there's a it is a lion.

552
00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:46.799
It's like you get you get the initial holding up

553
00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:49.200
of Simba like it's a lion, Oh my god, and

554
00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:52.880
then the crowd repeats it that says, yes, it is

555
00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:55.960
a lion. It's the confirmation of the crowd that seems

556
00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:58.359
so stupid, as if to be like, yes, yes, it

557
00:30:58.400 --> 00:30:58.720
is a lion.

558
00:30:58.799 --> 00:30:59.799
Yeah you're obviously.

559
00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:03.799
I don't think there was any question about it, but sure, okay, yeah.

560
00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:08.559
Oh my god, there's a liar.

561
00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:26.839
God those whole time was like this beautiful, majestic.

562
00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:38.599
Oh god, I need more of Godfrey's laugh in my life.

563
00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:40.599
That is right, infectious.

564
00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:43.440
I love it, And I wonder if they ever really

565
00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:46.119
they did are they just were like, hey, we need

566
00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:50.200
you to come up with some you know African tribal

567
00:31:50.440 --> 00:31:53.000
you know, song chant, you know, to the beginning of

568
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:56.640
the movie. And they listened to it like, oh my god,

569
00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:59.319
that sounds great, and they never even asked.

570
00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:01.279
The probably why would you ask?

571
00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:03.480
Yeah, I think you're right. I think maybe what they

572
00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:05.480
did was this might be a case where and I've

573
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:07.039
never written a song, so I have no idea what

574
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:09.720
the process is, Like, I don't know if it's standard

575
00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:12.720
to write the melody first, then do lyrics, or if

576
00:32:12.759 --> 00:32:14.799
you do lyrics and then do a melody to go

577
00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:18.960
with it. In this case, this feels like they have

578
00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:22.480
the melody nailed, like I've got it, I've got the notes.

579
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:26.240
This is going to be huge and powerful and majestic

580
00:32:26.319 --> 00:32:28.039
like this said they're in the clip. And then they

581
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:31.400
went to the lyricists and said, Okay, we need something

582
00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:34.000
that fits with this many beats and this many notes.

583
00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:38.519
What do you got, Uh, there's a lion. We'll take it.

584
00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:41.119
It's just another language. The white people won't know, the

585
00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:43.480
Americans won't know. Totally cool, we'll go with it.

586
00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:44.480
And it worked.

587
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:47.920
What do we even know what language?

588
00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:48.200
It is?

589
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:50.920
Some kind of African?

590
00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:52.720
Right? Yeah?

591
00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:54.480
Do the Africans make fun of this?

592
00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:56.759
Do people in Africa watch this movie and be like,

593
00:32:56.839 --> 00:32:58.559
that is the worst song on the planet.

594
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:04.559
They should, right, they need it, Like there's a lie.

595
00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:08.759
Like if I if I was in the theater and

596
00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:11.960
I was them and it's yeah my language, and I

597
00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:16.079
hear it, like there's a lot that didn't need to

598
00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:20.160
be said. We can see it, Like I would have

599
00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:23.759
absolutely thought differently about the entire film if I had

600
00:33:23.839 --> 00:33:24.839
heard it that way.

601
00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:27.200
Right, because that's the first song in the movie. It

602
00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:29.079
sets the tone for the entire thing.

603
00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:30.200
You literally think.

604
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:33.559
It's this, it's gonna be this beautiful, amazing whatever from

605
00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:34.720
here on out, and the movie's great.

606
00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:36.319
And now the movie is kind of ruined.

607
00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:38.880
It's kind of dumb because it's like you're expecting it

608
00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:41.319
to hold Simba up and be saying something like this

609
00:33:41.400 --> 00:33:44.880
is our salvation, yeah, and instead it's a lion. It's like,

610
00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:47.359
I know that it's called lion King. There's no secret here.

611
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:53.759
Well, especially the beginning, it's it's the other animals gathering,

612
00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:55.440
and you know it makes sense that they'd be going, look,

613
00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:59.279
there's a lion. Oh my god. Yeah, that's the last

614
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:00.000
thing they're going to see.

615
00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:02.240
Yeah, it should be there's.

616
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:04.160
A lion right.

617
00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:08.480
Around celebrating this. Let's get the fuck out of.

618
00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:14.920
Here, whole different movie. It changes the whole town.

619
00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:18.239
It really does. I mean you really think about it.

620
00:34:18.239 --> 00:34:20.320
All these other animals kind of deserve to be eaten

621
00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:24.800
because they're like, yay, more carnivores, right, circle of life.

622
00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:25.519
We're so lucky.

623
00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:28.639
Oh, it's just a dinner party. He invited them to

624
00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:29.159
the feast.

625
00:34:33.039 --> 00:34:35.159
Yeah, it makes it doesn't make a whole lot of

626
00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:37.079
sense when you look at it that way. So I

627
00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:39.519
guess the lesson here is don't ever don't ever watch

628
00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:45.159
with the close captions on. It'll just ruin stuff, or

629
00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:47.719
just change the movie titled to Holy shit, it's a

630
00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:54.039
lion one more time?

631
00:34:54.599 --> 00:35:03.559
Yeah, singing like no, yeah, you were way off.

632
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:09.199
Sounds good, doesn't it amazing?

633
00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:11.239
It's beautiful?

634
00:35:11.679 --> 00:35:12.559
What does it mean?

635
00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:15.400
It means, Look there's a lion.

636
00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:23.920
Oh my god, what that means. That is not what

637
00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:24.440
that means.

638
00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:26.400
That's exactly what it means.

639
00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:30.119
Look there's a lion. Oh my god.

640
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:31.760
Look there's a liar.

641
00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:35.440
Oh my god, it's a lion.

642
00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:44.880
Just in case you're sure the first time he said

643
00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:46.880
it's a lion, repeat, we.

644
00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:47.719
Gotta follow it up.

645
00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:48.000
With me.

646
00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:53.000
Yep, it sure is. It's a lion, everybody clear Lion verse.

647
00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:57.679
Two, still a lion. Look that guy has a gun.

648
00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:00.800
Oh my god, it's a gun.

649
00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:06.960
Why is that so freaking funny?

650
00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:09.599
And I just love the other guy who's in complete

651
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:17.079
and utter shock that this song is only it's a lion's.

652
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:19.800
He's all of us being brought ironically into the light.

653
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:37.920
For all things Treehouse. Look it's a treehouse. Oh my god,
