Coming up on today's show, Get ready with me as

6
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:32.479
I run over this kid, a man who fulfilled his

7
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:38.399
own destiny and starting at the top of the Treehouse

8
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:44.200
today is Rabel and Russini. Although it sounds like your

9
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:47.159
new afternoon drive show on the Fan, it is in

10
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:47.640
fact not.

11
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:50.240
Although the day ain't over.

12
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:56.880
Yet, this Rabel and Russini story just keeps on giving,

13
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:04.280
possibly like they do to each other. In Sedona, Mike Rabel,

14
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:10.359
head coach the New England Patriots, and Diana Russini sports

15
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:15.040
journalist for was it the NFL Network? Tray, I believe

16
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:17.719
she was with the Athletic, Yeah, thank you, that is correct.

17
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:20.040
And Diana Rossini from the Athletic.

18
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:21.680
Formerly of ESPN.

19
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:28.359
And maybe even the NFL Network, but one of the

20
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:32.400
top NFL reporters, very tied in.

21
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:40.680
Lots of sources, so many puns.

22
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:43.560
Uh huh.

23
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:45.840
Don't worry, We're gonna get some digs in on him too.

24
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.280
Not just her, but these two found themselves tangled in

25
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:53.680
each other and controversy when the New York Posts explosive

26
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.680
Hage six story on Mike Rabel and Diana Russini.

27
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:00.000
Blew up last week.

28
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.640
Now there's new information saying, from ninety eight point five

29
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:10.520
to Sports Hub in New England, it's not surprising that

30
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:15.120
Vrabel and Patriots owner Robert Kraft reportedly spent time over

31
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:18.319
the past two weeks doing damage control, and according to

32
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:22.800
a new report Sunday night from In Touch, Patriots owner

33
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:27.879
Bob Kraft tried to stop the page six report, containing

34
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:30.919
photos of Rabel and Racini at a luxury adults only

35
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:35.520
resort in Arizona. One source described a crisis management specialist

36
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:38.520
stepping into due Craft bidding in a last minute attempt

37
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:41.199
to stop the outlet from running the photos.

38
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:44.280
According to this.

39
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.319
Robert Kraft intervened and had his haunchos pressure the Post

40
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.080
before they published and tried to kill the story. The

41
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.800
Post gave Rabel a longer time to respond than what

42
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:56.800
is considered industry norms, and Craft took advantage of that

43
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:59.439
extended time frame to put pressure on the reporter and

44
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:02.479
the paper or a notorious crisis strategist made the call,

45
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.479
but was unsuccessful in neutering the story. By the way,

46
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.800
Rabel is not under investigation from the NFL or potential

47
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:16.159
violations of the league's personal conduct policy. The same report

48
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:20.439
from ESPN's Ben Strauss stated that Rabel had worked directly

49
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:22.520
with ra Sini on how to respond to page six.

50
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:26.400
Rabel's only official response to the story was, these photos

51
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:30.599
show a completely innocent interaction and any suggesting otherwise is laughable.

52
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:33.479
This doesn't deserve any further response.

53
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:40.800
You know, and from him.

54
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.599
I mean, I can't imagine even in their personal conduct

55
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:50.719
policy that adultery is on the list, because if that

56
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:51.879
was the case, I think there.

57
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:55.199
Would be a.

58
00:03:54.000 --> 00:04:00.520
Large swath of NFL front office, coaches, players that have

59
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:01.759
issues with that.

60
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:06.319
But in what would be a heavy dose of irony,

61
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:10.560
the NFL would swallow itself if that clause was in

62
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:11.680
their conduct policy.

63
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:17.879
But yeah, I also I saw one story that the

64
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:25.240
photos were actually taken by a PI hired by Russini's husband.

65
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.519
Oh God damn. Now, whether that's true or not, I

66
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:33.879
don't know, but it certainly.

67
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:39.439
She certainly seems to have a history because of some

68
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:40.639
interludes with coaches.

69
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:43.160
Oh, she has a tight.

70
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.879
So there's one story that she and I think the

71
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:52.160
girl's name is Britt McHenry, who was also a sports reporter,

72
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:55.800
once got into a fistfight because they were both sleeping

73
00:04:55.800 --> 00:05:04.720
with Sean McVay. Oh, and there seem to have been

74
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:15.240
rumors about Racini and I just I can't fathom. And

75
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.160
I guess the athletic because she said that she took

76
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:21.560
the same line that Rabel did of these pictures are

77
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:24.800
out of contact, taken out of context. Everything else. I

78
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:26.839
was on a trip with friends, and I think the

79
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.600
Athletic went, can you give us some proof that you

80
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:30.800
were there with other people?

81
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:36.560
Oh so Ruscini. So Rabel and Raussini were, hey, let

82
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:39.879
me get this right. So in their public statements, Rabel

83
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.519
and Rassini were trying to say, we just happened to

84
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:43.519
bump into each other.

85
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:45.800
That's what I took.

86
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.839
Yes, that this was just an innocent exchange. We were

87
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.319
there with other people, We were not there with each other.

88
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:53.480
Happenstance.

89
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:54.879
Yeah.

90
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:59.800
So Rabel's official response, these photos show a completely innocent interaction,

91
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.560
and then you suggest in otherwise is laughable. This doesn't

92
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.480
deserve any further response, do you think he said the

93
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:11.920
same words to his wife, or like Diana Ruscini, do

94
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:13.920
you think she said that to her husband, like I

95
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.079
was just there with friends, to which his response would

96
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:17.160
have been, which ones?

97
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.480
I know all of your friends?

98
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:25.879
Yeah, that's a that's a real Did one of them

99
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:29.000
you know have? Was one of them smart enough to

100
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:31.279
actually have someone going with them that they at least

101
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.720
could provide some semblance of an alibi.

102
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:36.399
Yeah, if you're gonna have an if you're going to

103
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:39.600
have an affair and you are a public person and

104
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:41.720
the person you're having an affair with is also a

105
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.600
public person, then you both need to bring throwdown friends

106
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:47.639
so you can say we were just at this place

107
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:48.279
with friends.

108
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.480
We weren't there to interdude or to hook up.

109
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:55.959
Or don't go to a to a resort.

110
00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:59.959
Go someplace where you just rent an airbnb and you're

111
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.720
completely secluded and you're not in public at all.

112
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:06.079
That would actually, that would actually make a hell of

113
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:09.279
a lot more sense. Better to rent an airbnb with

114
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:12.720
four walls in a roof to use as your palace

115
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.920
all weekend instead of going to an open air resort

116
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:20.839
where telephoto lenses are easy and you're not.

117
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:22.199
You're both.

118
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:30.720
Very high profile in the world's most popular sport. There

119
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.279
are a lot of people who might not know who

120
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:37.600
the current pop stars are, but they know who Rabel

121
00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:41.560
and Rassini are because they follow football, I mean, fantasy football,

122
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:44.879
everything else that so many people are addicted to. So

123
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.319
why would you think that you could do anything like

124
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:51.279
that in public and get away with it? I mean, Rabel,

125
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:54.360
I understand why now, and is this a double standard?

126
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:55.040
Absolutely?

127
00:07:55.879 --> 00:08:00.720
But as an NFL coach, I mean especially when your

128
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:03.120
owner got busted for getting a handy, which I'm sure

129
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.319
Kraft is like, couldn't you just go get a massage?

130
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:06.399
Dude? Seriously?

131
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:09.600
Yeah, I got a whole slew of places you could go.

132
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:13.399
They make these things called escorts.

133
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.040
But Recini, you know, as a female reporter, obviously the

134
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:23.439
scrutiny is going to be higher and there's a double standard.

135
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:25.079
But yeah, you knew that.

136
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:27.879
Yeah.

137
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:31.120
So the athletics response was to fire Diana Rossini.

138
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:35.480
I think she. I think she resigned technically.

139
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.960
Okay, whether it was her, whether it was of her

140
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:42.600
own choosing, or the athletic said we think it's best

141
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:46.759
you resign. Either way, she is no longer employed at

142
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.200
her job because of this story. Because of this situation,

143
00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:54.399
head coach of the Patriots, Mike Vrabel still got his job,

144
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:57.000
and there's no question about whether or not he will

145
00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:57.799
keep his job.

146
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.960
He went to the Super Bowl, No, oh, yeah, he

147
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:08.039
operates in an area that Yeah, Robert Craft is not

148
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:12.639
gonna And if if Robert Kraft did fire him, there

149
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:16.000
would be five other teams hiring him the next day.

150
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:18.600
Yeah.

151
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:24.399
And therein does lie a massive double standard, not just

152
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:27.399
based on the occupation, but because of the sex is involved.

153
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:33.120
Right, So this is where I would love to know

154
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:34.240
an of an.

155
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:38.919
Example where a male reporter was busted hooking up with

156
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:42.080
a coach male or female.

157
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:42.679
I don't care.

158
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:44.679
I would just like, you know, for the gender thing

159
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:47.879
to happen. Maybe it's happened and it just hasn't gone public.

160
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:50.399
I don't know, and or it has gone public and

161
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.000
my brain just can't recall it at the time. But

162
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.960
I've not heard of a situation from the opposite where

163
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:00.759
a male reporter has been You know, there's been plenty

164
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.120
of male reporters busted doing things they shouldn't have. Now

165
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:05.159
this is different where you know, the sex is involved

166
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.799
allegedly but it really is an awful double standard where

167
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:12.759
the NFL head coach there's no question about him keeping

168
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:20.039
his job the female reporter, but on the street, I mean,

169
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:26.159
now it does. It does from a journalistic side. Take

170
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.159
the gender out of it. Let's just look, it's an

171
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.840
individual who is a reporter. There is a an ethical

172
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:37.600
responsibility to the job, right and if you're busted hooking

173
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:39.480
up with one of the coaches that you cover on

174
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:42.480
the league that you cover, that's kind of a conflict

175
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:43.000
of interest.

176
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:44.320
You should be gone.

177
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:49.759
And it is going to forever.

178
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:53.759
If that got out and they and she did not

179
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:58.039
part ways with the athletic or whatever I think it did,

180
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.440
becomes a bigger problem because everyone is going to question

181
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:04.639
her quote unquote sources. It's like, oh, well, yeah, you're

182
00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:07.840
you're banging Rabel, so you're getting inside information, right.

183
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:11.600
Vrabel, on the other hand.

184
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:15.320
Who has always been considered a very good coach, You

185
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:17.840
are one of a very select few people that are

186
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:20.960
deemed good enough to be a head coach of an

187
00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:23.559
NFL team, So you you do have a level of

188
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:25.080
job security very.

189
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:25.639
Few people have.

190
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:26.440
Yeah.

191
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:32.000
Now, I will say this on one hand, this is

192
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:36.480
just kind of depending on your own personal ethics. This

193
00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:40.840
damages his credibility with at least some people in the NFL,

194
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:44.159
because at some point Mike Vrabel, as a head coach

195
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:48.960
in the NFL, has told and will tell again in

196
00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:54.559
the future, a bunch of young men that he employs

197
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:58.840
to be good, to be decent, to follow the straight

198
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:03.480
and narrow, don't do things that gets you into precarious situations.

199
00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:07.440
And there he is in a five star adults only

200
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:10.240
resort in the desert of Arizona, hooking up with someone

201
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:12.879
that covers the NFL. So it's going to be real

202
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.120
difficult for him as a head coach to dole out

203
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:18.240
any punishment for poor judgment on the part of a player.

204
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:23.240
On the other hand, some players are going to be like, yeah,

205
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:28.120
get a coach. But if he actually has to drop

206
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:30.279
the hammer and say, hey, you're suspended for doing A

207
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:32.600
B and C, then that's when they may look at

208
00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:33.919
and go like, who are you to tell me what

209
00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:34.399
to do.

210
00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:37.639
In this day and age.

211
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.000
I don't know that any coaches, you know, finger wagging

212
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:46.600
at players talking about the morality of you know, relationships,

213
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:51.159
I I if you know he's getting on him about

214
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:54.080
something similar there and some of that is there's a

215
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:55.799
certain aspect of do as I say, not as I

216
00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:56.840
do I.

217
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.480
But yeah, because as a coach, he could get up

218
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:03.000
there in front of a team and say, I'm not

219
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:04.639
telling you not to cheat on your wives. I'm just

220
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:06.639
telling you don't do anything that could get you in

221
00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:10.840
trouble in general and bring a negative light on the

222
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:13.240
team and be a distraction for the team and for

223
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.080
the teammates, which is exactly what he's done. But then

224
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:18.879
he could absolutely easily say he's like, look, you're the players,

225
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:22.240
I'm the coach. I've been where you are. I can

226
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:23.960
now get away with this nonsense.

227
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:24.600
You can't.

228
00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:29.360
Yeah, or if you want those big endorsement deals and

229
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:32.799
everything else, be more careful.

230
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:36.120
M Look, this is a great opportunity for the Como

231
00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:38.720
Motel on Highway seventy five and dolls to say, look,

232
00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:39.639
you could have come here.

233
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:43.320
No one would have known a thing. Brabel and Rassini

234
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:47.480
could have had the entire east wing of that roadside

235
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:48.200
love palace.

236
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:55.080
Or just if if you're Airbnb, it's sure, hey, use us,

237
00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:55.960
don't get caught.

238
00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:59.159
That's right, Airbnb.

239
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:06.000
We got houses, no one, no, just don't go outside.

240
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:11.000
It's actually an interesting new ad campaign Airbnb. We got houses.

241
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:25.720
I do believe the website hits would go up.

will need to schedule your free roof inspection and property review.

246
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:45.240
Courtesy of Daniel Cooking COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration eight three

247
00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:48.919
three cookdf W. To get that scheduled, we just had

248
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:51.039
the State of a Union, the State of the Union

249
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:53.320
address from the President. That happens every single year, at

250
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:57.519
least it's supposed to, and that's sort of what you

251
00:14:57.639 --> 00:15:01.720
offer with the free property review with homeowners. It's sort

252
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:06.159
of a state of your home address where you take

253
00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:09.519
a look at it ideally annually, and you Daniel the

254
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:12.440
one that delivers that information to the homeowner and says,

255
00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:15.320
here's where we are, and then here's where we would

256
00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:15.799
like to be.

257
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.840
Right Yeah, I mean in a way, yes, we're not

258
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:21.440
actually taunting about everything that we've done over the year,

259
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:25.080
and we're not bragging about everything. But what we do

260
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:27.159
is when you're not dunked on as a home right,

261
00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:29.240
we kind of just want to give you the education

262
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:32.279
of this is how your home is currently. These are

263
00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:34.000
some of the things that you need to be aware of.

264
00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:37.919
It's more preparation than bragging it. This is hey, you know,

265
00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:40.279
start looking at these things. These could be a problem

266
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:42.440
in the future if you don't start looking at them

267
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:44.919
really quickly, or we say, hey, this is something that

268
00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:48.279
we started noticing. Let's look at it next year. Because

269
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:51.080
when they call us out annually, we can you know,

270
00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:54.039
continue to watch that home as it ages and as

271
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:55.120
as as it changes.

272
00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:56.000
And they all do.

273
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:57.840
I don't care what kind of home you have. They

274
00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:01.519
all age differently, and some things change out faster than others,

275
00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:04.360
and different things like that. It's it's so different. You

276
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:06.200
can't just say I have a home in Dallas. You

277
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:07.639
can't say I just have a home in McKenny. You

278
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:09.879
can't say have a home in Mesquite or Flower Mount.

279
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:12.279
Every one of them is different. And that's why you

280
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:14.399
need us out there annually to come check them out

281
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:17.360
and we'll give you, you know, the notes and you can

282
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:19.279
then brag to your neighbors about how your state of

283
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:19.759
the home is.

300
00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:27.160
Today is Tuesday, April twenty first, two thousand, twenty six.

301
00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:30.759
Let's celebrate with some birthdays.

302
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:40.680
Who's the Boss star Tony Danzas seventy five today? And

303
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:43.880
did we ever find out on that show who the

304
00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:48.240
Boss truly was?

305
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:50.279
Was it Tony Dancer or was it Judith Lyt.

306
00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:56.240
Or was it Katherine Hellman? I don't know.

307
00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:01.240
I think it was Katherine Hellman, the Old Redhead. Uh,

308
00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:06.519
it was not a Lisamano, Yeah, I know, Joey was it?

309
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:09.799
Joey Pintaro, Danny Pintaro, Danny Pintaro.

310
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:11.920
Yeah, definitely not the Boss.

311
00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:15.440
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna have to go probably Judith light

312
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:16.240
more than Tony.

313
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:20.920
That was. That was one of the great eighties shows.

314
00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:24.799
And it's one of the questions of a TV show

315
00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:27.480
we never got the answer to. We don't know exactly

316
00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:29.799
what the ending was in the Sopranos because it faded

317
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:31.839
to black at the last second, and we don't know

318
00:18:31.880 --> 00:18:34.160
who the actual boss was on Who's the Boss?

319
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:35.839
Tony Danz or Judith Lame?

320
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:37.640
No?

321
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:43.519
And really, what's miraculous is Tony Danza basically had two

322
00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:47.400
hit sitcoms late seventies in the eighties where he played

323
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:48.160
the same character.

324
00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:52.200
What was the show he was on in the late seventies, Taxi?

325
00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:55.519
I know that I just needed to play stupids a

326
00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:56.359
week in Oh Okay.

327
00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:59.200
Yeah, So, I mean he was kind of the.

328
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:06.640
I don't know, dumb guy from Bronx wherever, and then

329
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:09.359
it's kind of the same same character.

330
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:12.000
More power to him.

331
00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:16.519
I mean, God knows he banked, Yes, he did, and

332
00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:19.200
it worked out for just about everybody on that Well, no,

333
00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:22.559
I know, Judith liked did some other stuff. Alyssa Milana

334
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:26.000
went on to do a number of other things. Danny Pintaro,

335
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:28.599
I don't think as much. I think he kind of struggled.

336
00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:32.400
And then was it Catherine Hellman, Yeah, who played Yeah

337
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:35.200
she died, Yeah she gets a pass.

338
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:37.240
Look, it's hard.

339
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:40.279
It's hard to get a show on Hollywood period, let

340
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:43.960
alone more than one. So I think it's interesting how

341
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:46.480
some people will judge, you know, actors, kind of like

342
00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:50.759
how the what's his name the guy that was an

343
00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:53.319
actor on The Cosby Show who was the husband of

344
00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:56.279
the oldest daughter who wasn't even on the show every

345
00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:58.880
single episode, and then people made a big deal like

346
00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:02.279
it because he was working at a Trader Joe's.

347
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:06.119
And it's like, that's actually the reality for most actors.

348
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:10.839
It's very rare that actors get on a successful show,

349
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:13.640
then on top of that, make enough money to where

350
00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:16.720
they can live off that success, and then on top

351
00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:19.119
of that get judged on whether or not they get

352
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:23.160
another one, which I mean if you were good on

353
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:24.799
the first one or had a prominent role in the

354
00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:27.240
first one, odds are your career has a better chance

355
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:29.000
of staying consistent.

356
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:32.720
But I love it's hard man. Hollywood's a bitch.

357
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:39.480
Well, and you didn't get I mean, what made you

358
00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:43.079
know TV stars a lot of money in the late

359
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:46.119
starting in the late eighties was syndication rights, and you're

360
00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:51.079
getting paid off that because that's where you know, the

361
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:55.279
TV stars in sixties and seventies especially, they got.

362
00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:58.279
Dick on a good day.

363
00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:01.640
Yeah, if they got if they got dick on a

364
00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:03.200
if they got dick on a Tuesday, that was a

365
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:05.799
good day. Because you're right, back then, it was all

366
00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:08.079
the producers in the studios that had all the royalties

367
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:11.200
on that stuff. Famously, because you know our old radio show,

368
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:13.960
we talked to just about every living cast member at

369
00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:15.400
the time from Gilligan's Island.

370
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:17.640
They got nothing. Nothing.

371
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:20.160
There's a reason why they were also happy to do

372
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:22.559
those reunion shows. There's a reason why they were always

373
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:25.720
at the autograph conventions because they needed the cash.

374
00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:31.039
Well, I mean, it was Adam West after the success

375
00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:34.680
of Batman. Yeah, he said, two years later he's getting

376
00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:36.720
fired out of a cannon at a county fair.

377
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:42.799
Yeah, not even a state fair. Uh, county That tells

378
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:43.240
you something.

379
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:48.599
It's Hollywood's been tough, and now it's happening again to

380
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:51.160
where once they got the royalties figured out for TV

381
00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:55.160
syndication money for the stars, then the streaming rights have

382
00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:57.319
kicked in. And that was one of the reasons why

383
00:21:57.319 --> 00:21:59.440
we had the writers strike from a few years ago

384
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:02.839
during the pendemic, was because the streamers and the producers

385
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:04.480
of these shows were trying to hold out money on

386
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:07.839
the royalties for streaming rights for these for these performers,

387
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:11.720
like they're doing it again, these greedy a holes, And

388
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:13.839
that's why they had to strike, and they got at

389
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:16.000
least a fair enough deal to where now they actually

390
00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:19.519
get a taste of these streaming deals. But it's still

391
00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:22.920
kind of a problem when it comes to the movies

392
00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:26.759
because they may make a movie and their contract has

393
00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:30.240
stipulated all these things as far as compensations. Let's say

394
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:33.359
it's an actor like Brad Pitt, right, Actually, let's use

395
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:36.920
Brad Pitt and George Clooney. That movie they did recently.

396
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:40.319
I think it's called Wolves. I don't know for sure,

397
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:42.319
but I think this movie is an example of this.

398
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:44.920
They shot the movie everything in it. It was supposed

399
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:48.039
to be released in theaters and their compensation was based

400
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:51.519
on box office stuff. Well, then the show ended up

401
00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:55.680
getting sold to streaming instead of getting a box office release,

402
00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:59.400
it got mainly released on streaming, and so they took

403
00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:02.799
a massive pay hit because they didn't have streaming stuff

404
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:05.960
built into the contract. I may have that specific story

405
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:09.039
wrong as far as the actors and the film, but

406
00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:10.920
I know that that has been a point of contention

407
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:13.680
in Hollywood, where they were supposed to get paid for

408
00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:18.640
box office stuff, and then the distributor or producers whatever

409
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:21.559
sold it out from underneath them to a streamer instead,

410
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:24.599
and the performers got.

411
00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:30.839
Dined, which even if if it goes to movies.

412
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:34.400
I remember I took a class at college about I

413
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:36.720
think it was called the Politics of Hollywood, but one

414
00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:41.799
of the subjects was the incredibly screwed up accounting that

415
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:47.039
studios used for to calculate whether a movie was profitable

416
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:47.359
or not.

417
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:50.000
And it is.

418
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:55.440
The devil is in the details, because it basically, you know, like,

419
00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:57.960
you could take the biggest hit ever like The Titanic,

420
00:23:58.119 --> 00:23:59.480
and they could figure out a way to make it

421
00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:01.039
where it technically took a.

422
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:07.960
Loss just through fuzzy math, and someone gets paid a

423
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:09.599
lot of money to do that fuzzy math.

424
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:12.640
Yeah, well, I just imagine it being just an insane

425
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:15.920
number dump to where the person on the receiving end

426
00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:17.640
is like, okay, whatever, I just I just want to

427
00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:18.839
go home now. I don't want to hear any more

428
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:20.839
numbers throwing at me. Fine, take all my money, just

429
00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:21.440
just go away.

430
00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:23.839
Well, it was Hollywood's way of.

431
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:29.400
Some of the stars started getting wise to things and

432
00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:31.920
started getting pieces of the of the movie on the

433
00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:37.640
back end, and then it became oh, well, we can

434
00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:43.880
screw with those numbers, until finally agents and everyone was like, no, no, no, no, no,

435
00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:46.720
We're here's how we're gonna outline specifically how we're going

436
00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:49.480
to calculate if this makes a profit or not.

437
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:53.079
And and that's also part of the reason why you

438
00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:57.759
see so many big, big stars now go into starting

439
00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:00.160
their own production companies as soon as they can, so

440
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.000
then that way they can start their own company, finance

441
00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:07.720
their own projects, control every aspect of it, especially the money,

442
00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:11.359
and then they just pay themselves as the performers. So

443
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:14.640
you have each of these actors, if they get big enough,

444
00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:17.440
can become their own little mini studio because that's what

445
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:18.880
they do they create their own and then you work

446
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:21.640
with the bigger ones. That's how So that's what's happened.

447
00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:24.680
It backfired on Hollywood. They screwed over the performers so much.

448
00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:27.240
The performers said, okay, fine, we're just going to become you.

449
00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:31.400
And that's why you have where it used to have,

450
00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:33.160
Like in a front of a movie, you had one

451
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:36.319
production company and you'll see the little like Imagine Entertainment.

452
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:39.680
Now you see six of them. Yeah, those little vignettes

453
00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:45.559
of different production companies. And why now where you used

454
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:46.359
to have one.

455
00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:48.240
Maybe two executive producers, now you have ten.

456
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:50.079
It's like a small army.

457
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:54.720
Fewer people rated that Iranian ship in the Straight of

458
00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:57.160
Horror Moves the other day, then will be on the

459
00:25:57.200 --> 00:26:00.839
credits for producers out at a regular Hollywood film, And

460
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:03.400
you're right, Like I was rewatching the end of The

461
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:05.480
Last Dragon the other day, and I wanted to watch

462
00:26:05.559 --> 00:26:07.480
the beginning of it because it's TriStar and it's the

463
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:11.759
Pegasus coming through. It was just Trystar, just try Star.

464
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:17.559
Now it's Trystar isn't even around anymore. But now it's

465
00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:23.000
gonna be like MGM, Amazon Prime, Bad Robot, And that's

466
00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:26.079
just two that's three right there. That's the director in

467
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:28.039
the studio and a distributor, and then you get all

468
00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:32.200
the other smaller ones like in with Icon and Valhalla

469
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:34.960
and all these other You're right, it's like a litany.

470
00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:38.400
It's like a LinkedIn profile of someone's resume of production

471
00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:42.400
companies saying, oh, this film produced by It's like, how

472
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:44.519
can this many people produce one movie?

473
00:26:46.920 --> 00:26:48.839
Did you ever see the movie State in Maine?

474
00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:50.119
No?

475
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:51.440
You should.

476
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:55.920
It is a great glimpse into Hollywood. I think it's

477
00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:59.079
twenty five years old. And the cast is unreal.

478
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:00.880
William H.

479
00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:10.279
Macy, Alec Baldwin from Sex and the City, Sarah, Jessica

480
00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:17.960
Park Parker, Yeah, Julius Stiles, the guy that plays Agent

481
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:23.720
Colson in the Marvel movies. The movie is stacked with performers,

482
00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:26.599
and it's all about this Hollywood production taking over this

483
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:30.799
small town and it's a behind the scenes film production

484
00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:34.119
and it is hysterical. But they start handing out associate

485
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:36.319
producer credits to all the people in the town just

486
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:39.880
to get things from them. So every time in a

487
00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:42.799
movie I see associate producer, that's all I think of.

488
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:45.160
It's like, oh, that person, let them use their backyard

489
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:48.400
for free, Stateton, Maine.

490
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:50.319
I will put it on my list.

491
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:56.240
Enjoy other birthdays today. Andy McDowell. She is sixty eight.

492
00:27:57.119 --> 00:27:58.759
From one of your favorite movies, right Trey.

493
00:27:58.759 --> 00:28:03.480
Four Weddings in a Funeral huh I.

494
00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:08.160
And also I didn't mind her in Hudson Hawk. But

495
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:12.079
she is one of those actresses very polarizing because so

496
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:13.920
many people just absolutely hate her.

497
00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:16.799
I never knew that. What did Andy McDowell do to

498
00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:22.000
have people hate her? Was it just being in Hudson Hawk.

499
00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:26.359
No, A lot of it goes back to Four Weddings

500
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:29.880
and a Funeral. Some people really hated her in that

501
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:37.880
because especially she kind of I can't is she from Texas? Oh,

502
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:41.359
I don't know, but she kind of has a kind

503
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:44.599
of a weird Southern accent, and people absolutely hated her

504
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:45.640
in that movie.

505
00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:49.759
I think I've only seen that movie once, and it

506
00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:52.240
was back when it came out or either either in

507
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:55.000
the theater or very soon after it was out on video.

508
00:28:55.680 --> 00:28:59.680
It's one of the great I love that movie. It

509
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:06.599
is quintessential British comedy. Hugh Grant had a run where,

510
00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:14.240
I mean he just made great movies, and it's because

511
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:20.039
even nodding Hill also great movie, but Hugh Grant's rom

512
00:29:20.039 --> 00:29:25.200
coms were absolutely top notch for a good ten years.

513
00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:26.480
I'm with you.

514
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:29.119
I am completely secure enough in my maskul larity to

515
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:32.480
say I too, am a fan of Notting Hill, Hugh Grant,

516
00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:36.680
Julia Roberts, and more importantly that that was the US

517
00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:38.960
introduction to rhese Iphens.

518
00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:41.519
That was That was a Hugh.

519
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:44.720
Grant's roommate, the guy oh yeah, yeah, who was also

520
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:48.720
the kicker in The Replacements yep, smoking a cigarette, using

521
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:50.680
the smoke to get the idea of where he needs

522
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:51.480
to kick the ball.

523
00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:53.079
Through the uprights. I love that dude. That dude is

524
00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:53.720
such a good actor.

525
00:29:53.799 --> 00:29:57.720
Oh yeah, I never, I never really knew the hatred

526
00:29:57.839 --> 00:29:59.119
for Andy McDowell.

527
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:02.799
It's a thing.

528
00:30:05.279 --> 00:30:07.680
And in one of the great comedies of all time,

529
00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:08.440
groundhog Day.

530
00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:12.359
Yeah uh, she's sixty.

531
00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:17.880
Eight, sixty eight years old today. She was born in Gaffney,

532
00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:23.839
South Carolina. Okay, yeah, best known for Groundhog Day, sex

533
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:26.519
lies and videotape for Weddings in a Funeral Michael. Oh,

534
00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:28.880
that's the one where John Travolta was an angel.

535
00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:32.200
God. We had some weird movies growing.

536
00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:40.559
Up, So yeah, happy birthday to Andy McDowell. Also Rob

537
00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:43.599
Riggle fifty six years old today, not only a fantastic

538
00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:50.319
comedic actor, also marine Yep, I'm just trying to imagine

539
00:30:50.359 --> 00:30:51.880
him in the Marine Corps. I don't know how it

540
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:54.799
is he has not made a military movie yet, like

541
00:30:54.880 --> 00:30:56.599
make him the new Major Pain or something.

542
00:30:58.440 --> 00:30:59.519
Yeah, you're right, that would be.

543
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:01.880
Can you imagine him as a drill sergeant?

544
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:04.160
You would be able to take him seriously?

545
00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:08.119
Uh.

546
00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:11.720
And James McAvoy forty seven years old today. James and

547
00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:14.039
I are the same age. He's a little bit older

548
00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:16.440
than I am because I'm not quite forty seven. But

549
00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:20.440
James McAvoy forty seven years old today. That dude is

550
00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:23.240
one of my favorite actors going right now. If you've

551
00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:27.720
never seen Split, so good.

552
00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:31.519
Yes that that movie.

553
00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:35.279
The actually what was Split was the.

554
00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:40.519
And that part of the Unbroken Like that was the

555
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:43.759
Uh was that the third one?

556
00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:46.200
The second or third? But yeah, that was part of

557
00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:49.240
the m Night Shyamalan trilogy. Yeah, the final one is

558
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:51.720
where it all kind of comes together. Split is the

559
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:55.680
one where his character is introduced as like split personality,

560
00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:59.279
part man, part beast, and a few other personalities and

561
00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:02.720
also Coast an Anya Taylor, Joey it's a phenomenal movie.

562
00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:05.599
No, it's it's a great because what's funny about that

563
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:08.160
that trilogy is I didn't really like the first one,

564
00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:13.400
but the uh I think it was Unbroken or Unbreakable.

565
00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:15.400
Unbreakable with Bruce Willis and then you got Glass with

566
00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:18.720
Samuel L. Jackson and then Split with James McAvoy.

567
00:32:18.839 --> 00:32:22.160
Yeah, but I think McAvoy's in both of those, isn't he?

568
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:24.480
And both the last two.

569
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:27.119
I forget how it all worked out, but yeah, but.

570
00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:32.960
The first one out of context because there was also

571
00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:36.000
a good ten years from the first to the second one.

572
00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:39.519
I think, uh, first one I was not that big

573
00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:41.000
of a fan of because it didn't make a lot

574
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:44.799
of sense. Then then you go back after in a

575
00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:48.599
trilogy than it, Actually it makes a lot of sense,

576
00:32:48.599 --> 00:32:54.920
and Samuel L. Jackson's character makes even more sense. Uh Yeah, solid,

577
00:32:55.039 --> 00:32:55.720
solid movies.

578
00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:02.279
And as Dallas Cowboys, our very own Tony Romo, he

579
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:04.119
is forty six today.

580
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:08.640
Perpetually underrated in my.

581
00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:14.839
Book, Yeah, the the.

582
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:19.440
He was he was one of those guys that was

583
00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:22.160
so so good, but there were just times when you

584
00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:26.359
wanted to tell him it's like, dude, stop it. Just

585
00:33:26.359 --> 00:33:27.160
just take it down.

586
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:30.480
One little notch and be a little more conservative on occasion.

587
00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:35.440
But and that's we have this conversation every time we

588
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:38.240
talk about a Cowboys quarterback. Quarterbacks get too much credit

589
00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:40.160
and too much blame when a team does.

590
00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:48.359
Well, and I think.

591
00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:49.480
That's especially the case with Romo. Look, if you stick

592
00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:55.599
Tony Romo with the Cowboys team of the nineties, would

593
00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:57.000
he be as good as Troy Aikman.

594
00:33:57.920 --> 00:33:59.799
Maybe not, but I feel like we would.

595
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:01.440
I feel like he still would have won a couple

596
00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:05.640
of Super Bowls, And I like, if you I do

597
00:34:05.720 --> 00:34:09.239
wonder if you stick Troy Aikman into Romo's teams. I

598
00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:11.360
would love to see that play out. We can't, but

599
00:34:11.400 --> 00:34:12.119
I wish I could.

600
00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:17.199
I would have loved to have seen Romo the year

601
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:19.440
he got hurt.

602
00:34:18.840 --> 00:34:22.679
M which I think it was like this, huh, when

603
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:24.320
Dak took over, or one of the other years he

604
00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:24.800
got hurt.

605
00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:28.159
When Dak took over, that team was the best team

606
00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:31.239
he would have played with, And I would have loved

607
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:32.440
to have seen what happened.

608
00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:36.800
Had he stayed healthy. I think they should have brought

609
00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:37.159
him back.

610
00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:42.760
I agree I and I think that probably would have

611
00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:46.760
helped Dak long term.

612
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:48.719
The because I think about that one game in Seattle,

613
00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:51.559
after Romo was healthy and they had already made the

614
00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:54.360
decision they were going to roll with with Dak a quarterback.

615
00:34:56.199 --> 00:34:58.880
They pulled Dak and Romo comes in and drives straight

616
00:34:58.920 --> 00:35:01.039
down the field, throws a touch down, walks off.

617
00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:04.639
There you go, h to me, that was proof right there.

618
00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:05.960
It's like that you should have been back in.

619
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:09.559
And I also feel like Dak sealed his fate with

620
00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:12.559
that tweet when Romo's a quarterback and he had a

621
00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:15.199
bad game and throw a game ending interception and Dak

622
00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:16.079
throws out the tweet.

623
00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:23.320
I can't defend this guy anymore. Brother, we know the feeling,

624
00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:24.599
we sure do.

625
00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:30.880

All right, here we go.

646
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:53.840
It's tough being an influencer. It's even tougher if you're

647
00:36:53.880 --> 00:36:57.400
a parenting influencer if you accidentally run over your own

648
00:36:57.480 --> 00:37:05.920
kid with your car. A motherhood content creator told her

649
00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:08.880
Instagram followers this week that she accidentally ran over her

650
00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:12.000
son with her car injuring it. I really hope this

651
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:14.440
wasn't a jacked up get Ready with Me video.

652
00:37:18.159 --> 00:37:18.800
I hope.

653
00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:24.960
That would be funnier. I mean, is the kid okay?

654
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:29.599
He's fine. I mean he was injured, but he's fine. Yeah.

655
00:37:29.719 --> 00:37:32.199
Kelly Hopton Jones, a thirty six year old stay at

656
00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:35.679
home mother of two, said the day started normal but

657
00:37:35.719 --> 00:37:38.159
then ended as the worst day of her life. She's

658
00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:42.159
also a pediatric nurse practitioner. She was planning to drive

659
00:37:42.159 --> 00:37:45.079
her daughter to grab donuts before a dance performance. Her husband, Brian,

660
00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:47.079
and their twenty three month old son, Henry, were supposed

661
00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:48.559
to stay home and meet up with them later.

662
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:49.920
Waving goodbye.

663
00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:52.400
No matter of seconds, our son was run over by

664
00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:54.519
our car I was driving, That's what she wrote in

665
00:37:54.559 --> 00:37:56.239
an Instagram carousel.

666
00:37:55.920 --> 00:37:57.519
There you go. Might as well get some good dis

667
00:37:57.559 --> 00:37:58.519
and engagement out of it.

668
00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:02.840
Yeah, listen, listen, you got to start with a good hook,

669
00:38:03.039 --> 00:38:05.760
like you won't believe what I did to my kid today, Swipe.

670
00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:11.960
He was hiding it in plain sight until this happened. Swipe.

671
00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:14.719
I ran him over with my car. But it wasn't

672
00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:17.519
entirely my fault, or was it, Swipe? I mean, my god,

673
00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:19.320
the engagement just through the roof, right.

674
00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:26.159
Yeah, you're right. Just the carousel part of it makes

675
00:38:26.199 --> 00:38:26.800
it funnier.

676
00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:29.400
It really does, because I mean, look, carousels do really

677
00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:30.559
well on the ground these days.

678
00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:32.840
Yeah, and you know, you know, you know what your

679
00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:33.840
video to be too long?

680
00:38:33.960 --> 00:38:36.480
So if you're going over a minute, you you know,

681
00:38:36.519 --> 00:38:39.639
take it to a carousel form so you can, yeah,

682
00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:41.360
make sure you can maximize engagement.

683
00:38:41.960 --> 00:38:43.480
I would like to point out that I had not

684
00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:46.639
seen the actual carousel unchilled just now, so me making

685
00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:50.280
fun of it was a little too accurate. As I

686
00:38:50.320 --> 00:38:53.480
see it now in front of me. It's a photo

687
00:38:53.639 --> 00:38:56.280
of her holding her son's hand in the hospital with

688
00:38:56.320 --> 00:38:59.199
the text today has been the worst day of our lives.

689
00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:02.760
Life can change to the literal blink of an eye.

690
00:39:03.079 --> 00:39:09.480
Swipe. A true nightmare for a parent happened to us today. Swipe.

691
00:39:10.280 --> 00:39:12.519
It started like any normal day. It was taking Lily

692
00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:16.760
to get donuts before her dance performance. Swipe again. Brian

693
00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:20.400
was saying, this is like thirty tiles on this carousel.

694
00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:24.239
She ran over her kid for clicks.

695
00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:26.840
I shouldn't say that.

696
00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:28.840
What it actually appears to be is that she ran

697
00:39:28.880 --> 00:39:31.920
over her kid and she's using it to get clicks.

698
00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:37.039
And here I am clicking. In a matter of seconds,

699
00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:40.079
our son was run over by our car I was

700
00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:45.679
driving next tile. I can't even make this up. There's

701
00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:46.360
so many dots.

702
00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:48.440
I can't even keep up with how many actual slides

703
00:39:48.480 --> 00:39:49.599
there are on this carousel.

704
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:54.800
There's so jesus.

705
00:39:57.000 --> 00:39:58.559
I mean, she has something to do while she was

706
00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:01.400
at the hospital. Bait on a kid, I guess.

707
00:40:01.440 --> 00:40:04.760
So this carousel is so big it's making Frank Frank

708
00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:05.920
Castle uncomfortable.

709
00:40:08.119 --> 00:40:10.880
It's a deep punish your punchline. By the way, I

710
00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:13.360
really I'm not even anywhere near the end of this thing.

711
00:40:13.880 --> 00:40:14.519
That's wow.

712
00:40:16.239 --> 00:40:20.639
I'm glad the kid's okay, But that feels very gross

713
00:40:20.679 --> 00:40:22.320
to me to be like, let me turn this into

714
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:24.880
a massive carousel that could have been one that could

715
00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:26.159
have been a single static post.

716
00:40:27.599 --> 00:40:30.599
What is it like, let no tragedy go unused or whatever.

717
00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:31.000
Uh?

718
00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:35.199
Yeah, might as well maximize it.

719
00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:39.280
I'm glad you bring that up, Trey, because there's another

720
00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:43.639
saying that stood out in the news recently. Uh you

721
00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:48.840
have you heard this saying? Speak it into existence? Yes, well,

722
00:40:48.920 --> 00:40:52.000
be careful what you say. A safari guide who once

723
00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:55.519
said I'd rather be killed by an elephant than shoot

724
00:40:55.519 --> 00:41:01.039
one was killed by a charging elephant.

725
00:41:03.760 --> 00:41:09.519
Oh yeah, you can think it, just don't say it.

726
00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:10.199
Yeah.

727
00:41:11.719 --> 00:41:15.559
Yes, you you say.

728
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:19.079
Something like that, you are literally playing I'm not touching

729
00:41:19.119 --> 00:41:19.880
you with karma.

730
00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:25.360
Yeah, I'm more careful about the things I speak into

731
00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:30.880
existence like. I don't say things like this guy said. Instead,

732
00:41:31.039 --> 00:41:32.960
I say things like I would love to be a

733
00:41:33.000 --> 00:41:37.840
billionaire someday. I would love to have ten million downloads

734
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:40.079
of The Treehouse Show every single day.

735
00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:44.079
That'd be nice.

736
00:41:44.159 --> 00:41:48.480
Yeah, And if Trey wants to get run over by

737
00:41:48.480 --> 00:41:50.800
an elephant so we get ten million downloads a day

738
00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:55.599
in the Treehouse Show, I'm okay with that. I want

739
00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:57.280
you to live though, so we could turn it into

740
00:41:57.280 --> 00:42:02.480
a really good carousel and social media. It's just you

741
00:42:02.559 --> 00:42:06.559
and me holding hands on Instagram. Tile after tile it was.

742
00:42:06.679 --> 00:42:09.559
It started out like any other day until all of

743
00:42:09.559 --> 00:42:13.000
a sudden there was an elephant standing behind Trey. Forty

744
00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:16.880
tiles later, engagement through the roof and the very last

745
00:42:16.920 --> 00:42:19.800
one be sure to subscribe to us on Patreon.

746
00:42:24.440 --> 00:42:26.639
With the next to last one, I told them not

747
00:42:26.639 --> 00:42:28.280
to get close to that elephant.

748
00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:31.880
But did he listen?

749
00:42:33.559 --> 00:42:36.440
