Is this the end of Spirit Airlines — and did anyone actually want to fly them in the first place? We kick things off with a hilarious (and slightly emotional) goodbye to the budget airline everyone loved to hate.

From there, we roll into celebrity birthdays that somehow spiral into a debate about Zack Snyder and his DC movies — why does he feel the need to explain everything? Is it genius or just exhausting?

Then things get weird… A shocking story out of JPMorgan Chase involving an executive accused of turning a male employee into a sex slave has us asking: how does something like this even happen?!

And if that’s not bizarre enough, we break down the unbelievable story of a woman who claims she lost 10 years of her memory… while sitting on the toilet. Yes, really.

🎙️ In This Episode:

  • Spirit Airlines farewell — goodbye or good riddance?
  • Celebrity birthdays & pop culture throwbacks
  • Zack Snyder’s DC movies: brilliant or over-explained?
  • JPMorgan scandal breakdown — what we know
  • The wildest memory loss story you’ll ever hear

harassment lawsuit that is almost too good to be true,

14
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:12.319
or maybe it is too good to be true. But

15
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:17.959
we are going to start today with some very sad

16
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:28.079
news in the travel industry. Rest in peace, my beloved

17
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:29.120
Spirit Airlines.

18
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:31.719
For many even.

19
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:40.799
You've taken me to and fro from Texas to someplace

20
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:43.480
I didn't know because I didn't pay to get to

21
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:48.879
the actual stop. Actually, for the record, I didn't attend

22
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:50.280
for that to rhyme until like a poll them. It

23
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:55.519
just kind of happened naturally, but in all seriousness, rest

24
00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:01.280
in peace the Spirit Airlines. On Saturday morning, Tara and

25
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:07.599
I woke up to a most horrendous message from our

26
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:12.280
beloved Spired Airlines. The day after booking a flight home

27
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:16.039
to Dallas to come visit friends and family. Spirit Airlines

28
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.439
confirmed our flight the next morning by saying, we regret

29
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.560
to inform you that all Spared Airlines have been canceled.

30
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.719
Guests with previously confirmed Spirit tickets should not go to

31
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:30.840
the airport. While we are not able to help rebook

32
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.560
your flight on another airline. We will automatically issue refunds

33
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.599
for any flights purchased through Spirit with a credit or

34
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:41.840
debit card to the original form of payment, which tells

35
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:44.879
me if somehow you gave Spirit Airlines cash, you ain't

36
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:51.120
getting it back. For more information about the wind down process,

37
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:57.319
please visit Spirit Restructuring dot com. If you would, tray

38
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:02.719
give me a brief moment to infer with my accountant

39
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:07.400
slash business partner slash manager slash assistant slash wife.

40
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:10.599
Have got refund yet?

41
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:14.520
I didn't even finish the question. She's already looking at me,

42
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:19.280
just laughing. She's like, nah, actually, I think that's probably

43
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:20.879
the Spirit board of directors laughing.

44
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:25.000
You'll get your refund eventually, we will.

45
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:27.800
It's not immediate the way they set in the lovely

46
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:31.800
message that they sent us, but yeah, we will supposedly

47
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:33.080
allegedly get our refunds.

48
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:37.080
Well, I forgot the number, but they obviously there's a

49
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:38.800
lot of transactions they got canceled.

50
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:44.479
Yeah, and one fails swoop Like, that's gotta be. In

51
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.000
order to do that, someone's got to like basically turn

52
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:52.520
everything off. I imagine there being some master switch somewhere at

53
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:58.400
Spirit HQ that just says off and when it's time

54
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.360
to stop being a company and everything, you just someone's

55
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.000
got to go to that level and just pull it

56
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:05.759
down like Obi Wan and Star Wars.

57
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:09.919
I just remember, imagine someone standing there in the office going, Okay,

58
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.159
we're closed, but need some of you all to stick

59
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:20.560
around and I'll process refunds and you watch them all

60
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:21.079
file out.

61
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:23.519
Yeah, yeah, we need your with some of you are

62
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.199
strategic in that we need your assistant with the wind

63
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:30.240
down process. It's gonna process right here.

64
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:34.879
That kind of team attitude is gonna really, you know,

65
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:35.480
look good.

66
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:41.560
Well, so what was what was something you were really

67
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.680
proud of at your previous job. I stayed behind to

68
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:48.240
help with the wind down process at Spirit Airlines. That

69
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:52.759
was no easy task and one of the things that

70
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:55.439
we as customers, I say we as customers, just the

71
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:59.600
traveling public, me specifically as a Spirit customer. I've been

72
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.480
traveling with Spirit for a number of years, not because

73
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:06.360
I'm cheap, but I am. But Trey, you and I

74
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:08.199
have talked about this over the years. I kind of

75
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:10.560
converted you over to Spirit Airlines a little bit because

76
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:14.959
you realize it's better to be like royalty on Spirit

77
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:19.560
Airlines than to be a surf in basic economy on

78
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:23.399
American or Delta or Delta or any of the others,

79
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:28.120
because you can get some places on spared airlines more

80
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:32.480
comfortably when you buy the big front seat versus slammed

81
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:37.920
in the back of the other you know, mainstream air carriers.

82
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:40.319
Yeah, for a lot of times, cheaper than what it

83
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.920
would cost to be packed in like a sardine. You

84
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:49.079
could fly Spirit and it basically the things that I

85
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:53.079
absolutely hate about flying, which is crammed in and no

86
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:53.720
leg room.

87
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.439
You solved, yeah, But on most of those Spirit planes

88
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:04.399
they only had one two rows available of those front seats,

89
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:07.519
which means one, two, three, four, five, six, eight seats

90
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.120
out of the entire plane. Where those big front seats

91
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:17.120
so look good. Spared Airlines the business model wasn't intriguing one.

92
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:17.519
It was.

93
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:21.360
Look, it is a basic economy deal. The whole thing.

94
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:26.240
When you buy a ticket from Spared Airlines, we will

95
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:31.279
get you there. The level of comfort you want on

96
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:35.240
that flight is entirely up to you, and then you

97
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:39.480
can buy those comforts and conveniences on top of the airfare.

98
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:41.800
So like with Spared Airlines, all you were buying was

99
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:43.879
the airfare. Oh you want to check a bag, that's

100
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:46.360
going to cost you money. If you want headphones because

101
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:48.920
you forgot some, we'll sell you some. If you want

102
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:51.439
something to eat or drink, it's not free on this airline.

103
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:53.480
You either bring it with you or you buy it.

104
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:59.360
And once you approached it knowing that, it was totally fine.

105
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.439
Yeah. I mean I remember there was one fight. I

106
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:05.560
I it was from Dallas to Vegas and back, and

107
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:09.560
if I was you know, you wanted to go just

108
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:16.519
bare bones. I think round trip it was like one

109
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:19.000
hundred and seventy bucks or something. I mean it was ridiculous.

110
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:24.720
And then uh but for like four hundred you could

111
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:30.480
you know, fly like a king? And uh, I never

112
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.839
I never had any problems with them. I I I

113
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:37.360
like Spirit, so I it's a shame they wouldn't let

114
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:41.199
them do that deal with Jet Blue. And uh, now

115
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:44.600
you've I don't I don't know who knows what's gonna

116
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:45.160
happen to him?

117
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:50.240
Yeah, So on the business side of that was what happened.

118
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:52.319
Do you know what happened with the Spirit jet Blue

119
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:54.160
merger acquisition whatever it was?

120
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:55.079
Thing? Did it?

121
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:58.040
Did those talks just fall out on the on the

122
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:02.240
two companies side or did they come to an agreement

123
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:04.800
but the government said no, that would make you too big.

124
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.480
There was a lot of government opposition to it.

125
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.319
But then there was supposedly from the federal government a

126
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:17.959
five hundred million dollar bailout something package that eventually didn't

127
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:18.439
go through.

128
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.319
Well, it was a five hundred million bailout for ninety

129
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:25.360
percent of the company, gotcha.

130
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:31.959
But the financial experts had a liquidation number attached to

131
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.000
spared airlines of like one point three billion, So like

132
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:36.559
like the math didn't math or something?

133
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:43.480
No, it was I mean, you know, Trump did the

134
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.559
Intel bailout and which I think we got ten percent

135
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:49.759
of the company, and everything I've read has been a

136
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:52.200
good deal. Yeah, I mean it was a bet. It

137
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:53.919
was a good deal for the government. It wasn't a

138
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:55.879
good deal for Spirit, but it would have kept them

139
00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:58.200
and I think there was a way for them to

140
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:02.720
buy buy the government out of that position. Yeah, but

141
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:08.440
you know, it's it would have kept them flying. But no,

142
00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:11.720
it was definitely a deal that worked better for the government.

143
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.360
Was that the same thing that Obama did with the

144
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:19.879
car manufacturers like with Ford and did a government buy

145
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:21.679
out and that was the too big to fail kind

146
00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:24.279
of a thing. And then the government actually similar to

147
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.600
the Intel thing, it's money back or.

148
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:30.799
The government got No, that was a bailout.

149
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:33.879
I thought they ended up. I thought we as a

150
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:36.519
country came out like even or ahead on the deal

151
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:39.600
in the end. But whatever the case is. I'm always

152
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.480
fascinated when when some people say, oh, the government needs

153
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.559
to do something versus the government should not do something,

154
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:48.799
Like I remember thinking back then, I was like, look,

155
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:51.639
if a car manufacturer needs to go under, that's kind

156
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:54.240
of their fault. Why are we bailing it out. I

157
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:56.960
also kind of feel the same way you know, initially

158
00:09:57.159 --> 00:09:59.279
about other things, it's like, why are we bailing out

159
00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:01.519
all these you know, corporations and we can't even give

160
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:05.639
money to people. So I feel conflicted about some of

161
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:13.000
that stuff. When it comes to the airline thing there, Look,

162
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:15.960
there's only so many Intel type companies, there's only so

163
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.840
many car manufacturers in America, and I feel like spirit

164
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:23.759
there's enough airlines out there to where, you know, the

165
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:26.679
US Government's like, well there's other airlines I can pick

166
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:28.600
up this slack. So it's we're not going to bail

167
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.080
it out at the level that maybe Spirits board of

168
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:32.200
directors would have wanted.

169
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:39.720
Yeah, I mean it's I don't remember. The auto bailout

170
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:43.279
was interesting because they were kind of a a casualty

171
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:50.480
of the banking collapse. Yeah. And but you look at

172
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:52.559
it now, you look at ultimately how it all shook out.

173
00:10:53.039 --> 00:11:00.399
I mean, what do we lose Oldsmobile, Pontiac sob Hummer,

174
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:03.879
I mean nothing, nothing where you go, Oh my god?

175
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:06.440
How did How are we we still haven't recovered?

176
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:10.159
Yeah, I think we're all okay without seeing any more

177
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:11.240
Aztecs on the road.

178
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:18.159
Yeah, I And I remember I remember some of the

179
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:19.799
senators were like well, if you let you know, Jet

180
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:22.440
Blue and Spirit merge, you know, there's no no longer

181
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:25.039
going to be discount fairs. They're gonna, you know, have

182
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:30.600
a monopoly on that low end market. It's like, oh okay, wow,

183
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:32.960
that's a monopoly. Most people want is on the cheap

184
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:33.759
the cheap end.

185
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:39.279
Yeah, you know what I want. I want the monopoly

186
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:45.440
on the great value brand of air And let's be honest,

187
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:50.399
for the most part, people that were flying Spirit Airlines

188
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:51.480
didn't want to be.

189
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:54.480
Agreed.

190
00:11:54.720 --> 00:12:00.000
Yeah, it was like it was a flight out of necessity.

191
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:02.639
That's like they had to go for somebody's funeral. It

192
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:05.440
was something they had to do and really didn't want

193
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.399
to spend any money on it. Kind of a thing.

194
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:14.159
Yeah. Yeah, No, I don't think anyone flies Jet Blue

195
00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:18.039
or Spirit or whatever the other discount. I don't think

196
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:20.240
anyone wants to. I I probably was one of the

197
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:22.159
few people that actually wanted to fly Spirit. I mean

198
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:24.600
it was it was a choice. I could have flown

199
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:29.759
something else. I like I said, I enjoyed Spirit. But yeah,

200
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:36.360
that's unless unless you're flying unless you're flying first class

201
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:41.080
or business class, you're you're just looking for the best deal.

202
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:44.799
Yeah, just get me there, right, just get me there

203
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:50.639
at some reasonable amount of comfort. And airlines really push

204
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:54.039
it on on those on those economy seats as far

205
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.559
as comfort goes. They really try to funnel you into

206
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.039
spending more money on the on the seat with slightly

207
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:04.279
more padding or slight like an extra two inches of

208
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:04.879
leg room.

209
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:06.919
And it's.

210
00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:10.919
It really is interesting, like for the most part, people

211
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:14.679
that fly anywhere don't really want to have to do it,

212
00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:19.320
but it's it's just so much quicker than driving. It's

213
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:23.639
almost a necessity. So if you're flying on any sort

214
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:26.120
of a budget, you're not going to enjoy the flight.

215
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:27.960
That's why I think it's still funny when people be like,

216
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.679
how was your flight? I was in basic economy, How

217
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:34.559
do you think my flight was? I got here, I

218
00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:37.559
got here in one piece, so it was a success.

219
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:41.360
Now if all of us, all of us, I think

220
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:45.840
would love to fly Emirates someday, Yeah, I mean that

221
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:48.320
is the krem de la creme you like, and first

222
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:51.559
class Emirates where you get your own cabin kind of

223
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:54.279
a thing. Most of us are not ever going to

224
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:58.240
live that dream. That's the only flight I would enjoy

225
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:04.720
if I get somewhere, and I did not fly first

226
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:07.960
class Emirates with my own cabin. I did not enjoy

227
00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:10.440
the flight. I'm just happy that I got here in

228
00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:13.919
one piece. And now that Spirit has gone under, we

229
00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:16.960
have one less option to get us there in one piece.

230
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:21.799
And on the back end of this, not only does

231
00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:25.320
it affect a bunch of customers, this also affects thousands

232
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:28.159
of employees. Because most of us are selfish, we think about, oh,

233
00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:30.679
you know, my flight got canceled them blah blah blah blah.

234
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:33.039
Also a lot of people found out in a very

235
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:36.480
rough way that they were unemployed. And some of those

236
00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:40.000
people who had a lot of responsibility in their hands

237
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:42.399
at the moment they found out, they just got fired.

238
00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:46.919
Seventeen thousand, I think is the number of people that are,

239
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:48.200
you know, out of work.

240
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:48.960
Uh.

241
00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:54.200
One of the smart, more most touching things I saw

242
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:58.919
and Bravo to Southwest. One captain was on his it

243
00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:03.720
was going to be his lafe last flight wherever he

244
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:07.639
had it. He had landed somewhere. They killed Spirit, so

245
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:11.759
he ended up flying on Southwest back home to I

246
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:15.200
think it was Baltimore or something, and the Southwest captain

247
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:17.000
learned about it and so they gave him all the

248
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:21.679
honors with the fire engines in the water fountain and

249
00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:25.759
had the crew there plotting him. But he was still

250
00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:31.720
he was like, yeah, he was a little choked up

251
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:34.639
by it because he said, I forgot he had been

252
00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:36.759
with Spirit for a long time. It's like, man, that sucks.

253
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:41.120
Well, it's it does suck. And I think I saw

254
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:43.399
somewhere in one of the stories that it said Spirit

255
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.399
Airlines had been in business for forty.

256
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:50.720
Years thirty four. That is what I think I saw.

257
00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:54.799
I mean, in I would have been shocked if you

258
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:59.360
said twenty I would have guessed around twenty years. But

259
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:01.840
I mean some of these airlines start out in one

260
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:04.919
in one place, more regional than they grow and acquire

261
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:07.279
and get bigger. But as far as the national stage,

262
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:09.759
I only really recall Spirit, you know, for like twenty

263
00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:10.200
ish years.

264
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:17.559
Yeah, that's but they also all those local especially if

265
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:19.360
you remember going back to the nineties and early teeth,

266
00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:25.159
there were a bunch of small of the discount operators

267
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:27.320
that all it like they merged. I mean, there was

268
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:33.360
valueset at one point and uh so, oh yeah, I

269
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:35.600
don't know, I don't know if Spirit was called something

270
00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:38.000
else but yeah, I was actually I'm with you. I

271
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:39.559
was surprised that they had been around that long.

272
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:48.720
This is interesting on AP news. Spirit Airlines, an impush

273
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.159
upstart that shook the industry where it's irreverent ads and

274
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:55.919
deep discount fares, announced Saturday it had gone out of

275
00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:57.799
business after thirty four years.

276
00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:02.919
Yeah, so interesting to me.

277
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:08.359
Not exactly the word you want to have thrown at

278
00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:09.880
you as a business impish.

279
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:14.519
Well, and I think at this point Spirit was a

280
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:18.160
little bit of a victim of their own model in

281
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:22.480
that when they needed to really raise fears because of

282
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:26.400
fuel costs and other things, they found out there's only

283
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:30.079
a certain amount people will pay and then people will

284
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:34.279
go choose another airline if it's not a big discount.

285
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:41.960
Yeah, it is interesting how that worked out because and

286
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:44.920
I don't know what that number was, like what percentage

287
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:49.400
of or what the actual fair you know, price was

288
00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:52.240
kind of a thing. But there was sort of that

289
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:54.400
fine line whereas it was like, Okay, how much is

290
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:57.680
this going to cost me versus how much I think

291
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:00.839
I can get there on this, you know, the same day,

292
00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:04.640
on a different airline that might have other perchs like Okay,

293
00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:06.200
and it's like you and I would do we do

294
00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:09.279
the Spirit math? All right? If I take the big

295
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:15.039
front seat on Spirit Airlines versus the economy seat on Delta,

296
00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:17.559
what's the price difference going to be?

297
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:18.279
Like?

298
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:21.160
If it's equal, I'm taking the big seat on Spirit.

299
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:27.359
Mine was always the Southwest comparison because for me where

300
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:30.480
I live, going to love Field and hopping on a

301
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:35.440
Southwest jet is far easier than going out to DFW. Yeah,

302
00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:39.759
so there had to be enough of a discount with Spirit.

303
00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:44.839
And it didn't actually say I mean enough, not a ton,

304
00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:51.200
but I would say compared to Southwest, they generally needed

305
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:53.920
to be seventy five to one hundred dollars cheaper.

306
00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:58.559
Okay, that makes about That makes sense. I wanted I

307
00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:00.400
haven't not had a chance to hear it yet, but

308
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:02.599
I wanted to play it and hopefully it holds up.

309
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:06.440
This is from a Spirit Airlines crew member giving an

310
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:10.519
emotional speech on what I believe was like the second

311
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:16.160
to last flight that Spirit had to land. We get

312
00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:21.359
this to work here, A lot.

313
00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:24.119
Of crazy stuff has happened, but it's funny. As we

314
00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:28.519
sit here, I'll speak for myself. I don't remember any

315
00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:31.559
of the bad times, just the good ones.

316
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:37.799
So Spirit, I believe it or not, started.

317
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:39.480
Flying in nineteen eighty three.

318
00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:41.799
I think it was called Charter Air at the time,

319
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:43.559
and in.

320
00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:44.799
Nineteen ninety two.

321
00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:47.599
It changed his name to Spirit.

322
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:52.240
So we've been in the air since nineteen eighty three.

323
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:52.680
What is that?

324
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:54.359
Forty three years?

325
00:19:57.079 --> 00:19:58.960
And unfortunately that's over.

326
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:02.160
I would like to point out that if I was

327
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:07.359
on this flight and the pilot gets on talking about

328
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:10.000
how he's just been fired and I can hear tears

329
00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:13.319
in his voice, I'm not feeling too good about my odds.

330
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:15.839
All right, it was that the pilot or the flight attendant.

331
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:17.880
I'm pretty sure it was a flight attendant. I'm just

332
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:20.519
saying that I hope this is a flight attendant, because

333
00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:23.039
if this is the pilot, there's one last fee that

334
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:25.400
I'll be happy to give Spirit, and that's the please

335
00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:26.359
let me land fee.

336
00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:30.759
Yeah, if if I have to, if I feel the

337
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:34.160
need to go up to the pilot and go you okay.

338
00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:37.559
Then we're all screwed.

339
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:51.079
Yeah, you're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online that

340
00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:53.000
Treehouse on air dot com.

341
00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:58.279
Let's get Daniel Cook from COOKDFW Roofing and Restoration into

342
00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:01.799

343
00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:07.279
review eight three three Cook DFW, the website cookdfw dot com. Daniels,

344
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:08.359
storm season is here.

345
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:08.519
Now.

346
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:10.279
We talk about this a lot. Storm season is pretty

347
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:12.960
much year round, but now it's like peak storm season.

348
00:21:13.559 --> 00:21:14.799
Heads on a swivel, right.

349
00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:18.759
That's correct, Dan. We've been very fortunate this year. Storms

350
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:21.079
are not really activated around here, and I know a

351
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:24.359
lot of people are thinking they're lucky stars, but at

352
00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:27.119
any time that could change in a heartbeat, So when

353
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:29.319
they do occur, we'll be ready. Yeah, you know, we

354
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:34.200
come out do a temporary repairs, emergency services call our number.

355
00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:36.279
We have plenty of guys that's ready to help and

356
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:40.039
assist and make sure your homes at least safe after

357
00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:42.680
the storm. Unfortunately, you're probably have a lot of damage.

358
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:44.440
But you know we'll be here when you need us

359
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:47.920
eight three three Cook DFW to get that free roof

360
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:50.400
inspection and do that now, because it's good to have

361
00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:53.319
an idea of where your roof stands before the next

362
00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:56.359
storm hits, so that way there aren't any things that

363
00:21:56.519 --> 00:21:59.160
could get worse in the middle of a storm that

364
00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:02.440

00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:48.599
Speaking of the treehouse, you're back in it. I'm Dan

375
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:56.480
along with Trey. And today is Tuesday, May fifth, twenty

376
00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:02.119
twenty six, also known as go to Mayou. Let's celebrate

377
00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:03.799
today with some birthdays. And for those of you that

378
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:06.559
don't know, even though annually I tell you, today is

379
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:13.160
not the Independence Day. Therefore birthday of Mexico, that's not today.

380
00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:18.440
Seeing good to Miles celebrates the Battle of Pueblo that

381
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:22.359
Mexico won over and that's and this is the day

382
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:24.319
they celebrate that particular victory.

383
00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:29.240
Why did you muffle out France?

384
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:32.720
I always forget if it was France or Spain or

385
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:36.880
I thought it was France. I always forget. I think

386
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:44.319
it's France, but I'm not sure. I'm like, so France, Yes,

387
00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:51.559
thank you. Now, let's celebrate today with birthdays. Celebrating a

388
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:54.359
birthday today at the age of thirty eight, one of

389
00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:59.200
the modern era's great singers, Adele Adele is thirty eight

390
00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:06.839
years old today. Also from this generation of singers, although

391
00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:11.039
a huge pos Chris Brown is thirty seven. I say

392
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:16.799
all that, but people keep giving him more and more chances. Oh,

393
00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:19.759
beat the ever living piss out of your girlfriend Ranna

394
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:23.400
back in the early to like the early two thousands,

395
00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:27.279
whatever it was, and then people are like, oh, you know,

396
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:29.319
I should give him another chance, and so some people did,

397
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:31.240
and then something else happened, or maybe it was the

398
00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:33.279
trial or whatever else happened. You see all the photos

399
00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:35.319
of her and everything he did to her, and then

400
00:24:35.400 --> 00:24:38.160
it happens all again. I don't know if anyone's been

401
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:40.599
canceled as many times as Chris Brown has, but he

402
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:42.839
keeps coming back like a musical cockroach.

403
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:48.240
I don't did he ever really get canceled, because I.

404
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:50.599
Just did at one point, but yeah, he bounced right back.

405
00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:55.480
He was in town. I think last year in concert.

406
00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:57.920
I believe he played at and T and it was

407
00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:06.880
a you know, sellout, so you know whatever. Uh, No,

408
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:08.720
that one did not stick to him.

409
00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:12.000
I feel like being canceled is one of those things

410
00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:13.720
that only happens online.

411
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:15.359
Uh.

412
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:19.240
In order to truly be canceled, there have to be

413
00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:23.480
real world implications, real world consequences for something that you

414
00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:27.880
have done or said, right, because you can have you know,

415
00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:31.920
the keyboard commando say how dare you say? Or having

416
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:35.279
done this, canceled, You're done, You're through your fire, blah

417
00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:35.960
blah blah blah blah.

418
00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:37.720
But that doesn't.

419
00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:42.359
Necessarily mean anything happens. I mean lots of people have

420
00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:45.720
said really terrible things and people said, oh, this person

421
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:49.880
can't survive this, and then they do despite all common

422
00:25:50.039 --> 00:25:54.720
sense being thrown out the window or because of it.

423
00:25:57.240 --> 00:25:59.559
So I'm always fascinated when this happens, where it's people

424
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:02.400
get really really mad and then it like just goes away,

425
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:08.000
or they released a new album, or maybe just not

426
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:09.720
that many people cared in the first place.

427
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:12.759
I you know, I think that's part of it, and

428
00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:16.200
I think a lot of it is how it's handled.

429
00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:23.559
If I remember correctly, at the after the the Rihanna thing,

430
00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:26.599
Chris Brown kind of disappeared for a little bit, And

431
00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:33.640
but I've never I I I've never been a big

432
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:36.440
Chris Brown frian. I know a couple of his songs,

433
00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:42.279
but he has a fairly diehard fan base and from

434
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:47.200
everything he is incredibly talented. Some people, I think there

435
00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:48.920
is just a tendency to look the other way.

436
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:49.640
Uh.

437
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:53.319
I mean, Michael Jackson always is the one that will

438
00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:56.039
always come to mind first and foremost. I mean, although

439
00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:59.920
he was never convicted of anything, there were certainly a

440
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:04.319
lot of allegations and a lot of questionable behavior.

441
00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:07.680
Yeah, in the case of Chris Brown, you know, there

442
00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:13.000
there was evidence, we saw it. Yeah, And I think

443
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:14.799
for a lot of people, it just kind of boils

444
00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:16.839
down to, well, he didn't do it to me, or

445
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:19.519
didn't say it to me, or this didn't affect me

446
00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:21.240
in any way, So what do I care?

447
00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:21.960
It is what it is.

448
00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:25.000
And I think that's kind of the attitude for a

449
00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:25.599
lot of people.

450
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:29.240
I Well, I think I think musicians can weather it

451
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:36.359
better than most because if you have a r. Kelly

452
00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:40.519
is always my best example, I mean, yeah, despicable, horrible person.

453
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:43.880
But if ignition comes on man, I'm tapping my toe.

454
00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:44.720
I'm not changing it.

455
00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:46.359
Yeah, it's still a good song.

456
00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:53.319
Yeah, you know, it's so I think. I think musicians

457
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:55.759
more people have the ability to separate the art from

458
00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:56.240
the artist.

459
00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:02.720
Yeah. I'm not buying any of his stuff now, but

460
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:06.400
I will enjoy ignition when I hear it. Other birthdays Today,

461
00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:12.960
to Panga turns forty five, So hit us right in

462
00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:18.200
the old heart. Danielle Fischel best noticed to Panga from

463
00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:24.079
Boy Meets World turns forty five years old? That's that

464
00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:27.960
hits you in the heart, doesn't hit you in the

465
00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:29.839
heart of all? Well, I guess you were too old

466
00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:32.759
to ever have watched Boy Meets World. I actually feel

467
00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:34.559
like I was a little old for that show. I

468
00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:37.799
watched a couple episodes here and there, but to me,

469
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:39.319
that's more of a millennial show.

470
00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:45.079
Yeah, but I know who she was hot. I remember

471
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:50.200
those puffy lips, and she still looks good. It's all.

472
00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:54.680
Was she on Dancing with the Stars?

473
00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:57.160
Maybe she might have been. And I think she may

474
00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:00.400
have a podcast as well. And then you have the

475
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:03.720
reboot slash spin off show of Boy Meets World. Was

476
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:06.440
Girl meets World, that's where they grew up and had

477
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:07.799
a daughter, and then that was sort of like the

478
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:10.039
the New show that was on for at least a

479
00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:11.440
little while. But yeah, I think you're out. I think

480
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:14.759
she was on Dance with the Stars and finally turning

481
00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:17.559
forty three today. How weird is this? In your brain?

482
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:25.279
To Penga is forty five, Superman Henry cavill is forty three,

483
00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:32.519
That to me seems weird. I guess I can't reconcile

484
00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:33.359
that for some reason.

485
00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:38.400
How long ago did that his first Superman movie come out?

486
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:47.319
The early twenty teens. I'm guessing yes, maybe like an

487
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:51.200
nine to twenty ten range. It's been a while, and

488
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:53.839
he only did what too. He had Man of Steel

489
00:29:54.000 --> 00:30:00.319
and then they went into the Justice League. That's part

490
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:02.880
of what I didn't like about those DC movies around

491
00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:05.519
that time is they all just felt so rushed because

492
00:30:05.559 --> 00:30:07.559
they were trying to keep up with Marvel, and because

493
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:09.279
they rushed them, the stories.

494
00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:13.920
Weren't very good. Twenty thirteen, that's when Man of Steel

495
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:17.599
came out, got it well, and at that point they

496
00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:19.440
were so behind Marvel it wasn't even funny.

497
00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:21.839
And that's what I mean, that's like all their stuff

498
00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:24.599
felt so hurried because they're trying to catch up. Like

499
00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:28.559
I realized this not long ago. It's so weird how

500
00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:31.079
people will pit different things against each other when they

501
00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:33.799
don't necessarily need to be. And when I say people,

502
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:40.319
I mean fans. You've got the Snyder Verse bros. And

503
00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:46.279
the New DC James Gunn DC Bros. Or whatever slash Girls,

504
00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:48.480
and they're at odds. It's like, no, no, no, My

505
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:52.599
Superman's Henry Caville, not this you know, Goodie two Shoes

506
00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:54.480
version that's out now, which is kind of the whole

507
00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:58.079
point of the new one. But anyway, the Snyder people

508
00:30:58.680 --> 00:31:01.599
that like the darker moody or stuff. I realized though,

509
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:05.359
Zack Snyder is like the king of exposition when it

510
00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:09.319
comes to Hollywood directors. It is kind of frightening. And

511
00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:11.359
if you don't know what exposition is, that's when it's

512
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:14.839
just outright explaining things in a movie, which is typically

513
00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:18.559
considered bad because in a movie you're supposed to just

514
00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:23.079
show it right. So if there's long if there's just

515
00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:26.400
long spots of explaining things in the middle of a movie,

516
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:30.400
then that's kind of a sign of a bad film.

517
00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:36.160
Snyder is really bad at this. Did you watch the

518
00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:39.000
what was it, the the one that was supposed to

519
00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:42.839
be like his take on a Star Wars deal, like

520
00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:46.200
the y the Moon something, the rain of the Moon,

521
00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:48.200
Moon rain or rape whatever.

522
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:58.799
Yes, I watched. I watched the first one, which I like.

523
00:31:58.920 --> 00:32:09.680
The second one, and that that I'm trying to think

524
00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:11.920
i'd explain it because that one, at least it was

525
00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:15.480
the story was broken up into two or three parts. Yeah,

526
00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:23.319
so less of that of the exposition. But tedious would

527
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:24.319
be the word I would use, but.

528
00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:29.200
I think it was. I think it was the second

529
00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:32.319
one where they were building up towards this big battle

530
00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:35.400
on this moon where the evil Federation is coming to

531
00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:39.079
get their grain right, and the night before this big battle,

532
00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:42.160
all the all the heroes that have been collected to

533
00:32:42.279 --> 00:32:45.799
help out this farming community all have to tell their

534
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:49.519
story of why it's so important that they're there. And

535
00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:52.200
it's supposed to be like a flashback thing, but all

536
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:54.480
it is is just a bunch of explaining. I mean,

537
00:32:54.519 --> 00:32:59.640
it's like fifteen minutes of just explaining crap in this movie.

538
00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:04.839
I'm like, oh my god, this is awful, rebel, thank you.

539
00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:05.480
Uh.

540
00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:08.440
And then when I rewatched Man of Steel, there was

541
00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:11.440
another scene of it again where Zod is explaining his

542
00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:14.839
reasons for everything, and I'm like, oh my god, Snyder's

543
00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:18.240
the king of exposition, dude. Just people just explaining stuff now.

544
00:33:18.400 --> 00:33:21.279
At least in Man of Steel what's his name? Who

545
00:33:21.319 --> 00:33:23.880
played Zod is so good at it you don't mind

546
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:26.799
it as much. But anyway, that's my that's my tangent

547
00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:30.440
for the day. Happy Birthday. Henrykaville who Wants Who Wants

548
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:34.799
famously said, uh, if you like or just ask her out,

549
00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:41.039

That's a big tease hit be with us.

574
00:35:19.679 --> 00:35:24.920
A glamorous JP Morgan Chase executive has been accused of

575
00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:28.760
turning a married male broker into her office sex slave,

576
00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:34.480
amid claims of viagra spiking and litany of obscene forced

577
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:36.800
acts that made him cry.

578
00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:43.000
Okay, are we We're gonna at least throw out the

579
00:35:43.039 --> 00:35:44.679
caveat that this is completely not true.

580
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:51.159
Not yet, Okay, I'm going to take you on a

581
00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:56.840
journey here on a story that sounds too wild to

582
00:35:56.960 --> 00:36:02.159
be true. A JP Morgan executive used her power to

583
00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:05.880
sexually harass and abuse a junior male employee. Drugging him,

584
00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:09.880
subjecting him to racial abuse, and threatening his career when

585
00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:13.800
he refused her advances. That's according to a lawsuit. Uh

586
00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:19.159
Lorna Hagini, an executive director in JP Morgan Chase's leveraged

587
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:24.599
finance division, is accused of filing, or is accused in

588
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:29.760
the filing, of coursing a married banker into non consensual

589
00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:32.800
and humiliating sex acts over months, despite his pleas for

590
00:36:32.840 --> 00:36:38.559
her to stop her the lawsuit, at one point, she

591
00:36:38.760 --> 00:36:42.320
is alleged to have removed her shirt, began fondling her breasts,

592
00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:47.119
and racially insulting the man's wife, remarking, I bet your

593
00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:54.559
little Asian wife doesn't have these canons. The man didn't claim.

594
00:36:54.679 --> 00:36:57.320
She forcibly removed his pants and performed oral sex on

595
00:36:57.440 --> 00:37:00.320
him against his will. He continued to protest and began

596
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:05.000
to cry. At this point of the LinkedIn post, the

597
00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:07.679
number of people clicking a ply would be through the roof.

598
00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:13.559
It's also claimed that the female executive allegedly admonished him

599
00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:16.719
for crying and scolded him for failing to achieve an erection, saying,

600
00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:22.840
stop effing crying. Actually, I got to beat here. Stoping crying,

601
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:25.679
you're a king douchebag who thinks he's hot, but you

602
00:37:25.800 --> 00:37:28.760
can't even get your heart for me. What the is this?

603
00:37:29.639 --> 00:37:36.320
She allegedly said during the second encounter, that was the first.

604
00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:40.280
I mean, that is setting a high bar. During the

605
00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:44.119
second encounter, she allegedly ordered him to suck her toes,

606
00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:46.400
pushed him to the ground, and sat on his face,

607
00:37:46.880 --> 00:37:52.079
berating him. When he was unable to sustain arousal, he says,

608
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:56.320
I'm very uncomfortable. Please please, I'm begging you, but she

609
00:37:56.440 --> 00:38:00.920
allegedly laughed before making a racist remark that his genitals

610
00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:07.400
don't taste like curry. It is with a heavy heart

611
00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:12.760
that I report to you that this lawsuit has already

612
00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:18.800
been debunked, thrown out. It is all fabricated. I say

613
00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:21.239
that with a heavy heart because I was really hoping

614
00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:26.320
that when she said your wife doesn't have these cannons,

615
00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:29.000
I was really hoping that was a real quote from somebody.

616
00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:35.159
I read this story and and it was all entertaining

617
00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:43.199
as hell until I saw, you know, they the lady's

618
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:45.880
kid was then you know, having to I mean obviously

619
00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:48.440
getting just all sorts of horrible things said to him,

620
00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:54.920
and so bad, and the guy that did this like

621
00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:57.159
evidently like then, I mean he has since deleted all,

622
00:38:57.320 --> 00:38:58.599
like he knew what was going to happen, and he

623
00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:03.559
deleted all his social media everything, And yeah, this is

624
00:39:03.599 --> 00:39:05.039
the kind of crap that lives.

625
00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:09.079
Get ruined by, absolutely And so it turns out what

626
00:39:09.320 --> 00:39:11.440
so many people thought was going to be the story

627
00:39:11.519 --> 00:39:15.639
of the year was just made up. John Doe who

628
00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:20.960
John Doe who filed the suit. His actual name is

629
00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:28.119
Sharayu Raina, thirty five, according to this at the time.

630
00:39:28.199 --> 00:39:30.440
It's been a few days. This now is probably changed.

631
00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:34.360
He is a principal at Brigal Sagemont. I don't mean

632
00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:35.960
of like a school of me, like of a different

633
00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:39.800
financial place. He left JP Morgan and went straight into

634
00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:43.360
private equity. It went straight to private equity. The whole

635
00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:48.400
threatened his bonus premise of the lawsuit collapsed. The female

636
00:39:48.440 --> 00:39:52.360
executive at Chase reported to a completely different managing director

637
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:56.639
than this douche. She had absolutely no say over his compensation.

638
00:39:56.960 --> 00:40:02.280
JP Morgan pulled phone records, reviewed emails, interviewed the entire team,

639
00:40:02.559 --> 00:40:06.960
and found nothing. Raina even refused to participate in his

640
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:15.119
own investigation. A colleague described him as socially awkward. But

641
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:17.599
someone who met the requirements to stay at the bank.

642
00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:26.079
That is such a corporate bull thing that it absolutely

643
00:40:26.360 --> 00:40:30.679
it makes sense. I can't tell you how many times

644
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:33.000
I've seen it, and I've seen this with my own eyes,

645
00:40:33.480 --> 00:40:36.639
to see people completely incompetent in the jobs that they have,

646
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:40.239
or completely not caring about the results of the work

647
00:40:40.320 --> 00:40:45.920
that they do, that not only stay employed, sometimes get promoted.

648
00:40:48.280 --> 00:40:51.360
You wouldn't be talking about the radio business, would you. Oh,

649
00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:52.679
was it that obvious?

650
00:40:53.320 --> 00:40:55.920
The thing is, though those type of antics are not

651
00:40:56.119 --> 00:41:00.880
limited to the media industry. It's not limited to the industry.

652
00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:04.199
This is this is part of what's wrong with corporate America.

653
00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:07.559
You have someone that is clearly a problem, but someone

654
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:11.639
somewhere seems to think they have some redeeming quality, like

655
00:41:11.760 --> 00:41:14.519
at this one where they say, well, he meets the

656
00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:19.039
requirements to work here. Wow, good on, good on you.

657
00:41:21.119 --> 00:41:24.360
Before any lawsuit, this guy tried to negotiate a payout

658
00:41:24.480 --> 00:41:26.840
in the millions to leave the bank. Quietly.

659
00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:29.440
They didn't.

660
00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:32.960
They didn't go for that. He then filed the court filing.

661
00:41:33.039 --> 00:41:36.280
Then his lawyers retracted it for corrections and ultimately deleted it.

662
00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:39.559
But the Daily mail had already run the whole thing,

663
00:41:40.400 --> 00:41:49.920
and social media ran with the rest, so wild got wilder.

664
00:41:51.920 --> 00:41:54.199
And the fact that this dude just completely made up

665
00:41:54.719 --> 00:41:59.880
all of this and in the process trashed an otherwise

666
00:42:00.159 --> 00:42:02.760
seemingly very nice corporate executive.

667
00:42:03.440 --> 00:42:10.119
And it's just and I would imagine, Uh, we'll get

668
00:42:10.199 --> 00:42:12.360
hit with a libel slander suit.

669
00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:16.119
Yeah, this is the Yeah, this will be the easiest

670
00:42:16.159 --> 00:42:19.679
defamation case in the history of US justice.

671
00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:23.639
And I can't imagine after it's all said and done

672
00:42:23.719 --> 00:42:29.360
that any bank is really gonna want him working for him. Like,

673
00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:30.800
I don't I don't know, I don't know if this

674
00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:34.280
is one of those things. I'm sure in the middle

675
00:42:34.280 --> 00:42:37.599
of the night, it's something that you know, he something happened,

676
00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:40.760
she pissed him off. But at a certain point he

677
00:42:40.880 --> 00:42:43.199
thought this was a great idea, But then really should

678
00:42:43.199 --> 00:42:46.119
have sat down and go let me think this through.

679
00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:51.639
How does this play out? If and especially if because

680
00:42:52.719 --> 00:42:55.199
one thing that if you've worked in corporate America you

681
00:42:55.360 --> 00:42:58.880
certainly know is a lot of times they will pay

682
00:42:59.320 --> 00:43:05.920
just to make something go away. And if JP Morgan

683
00:43:06.039 --> 00:43:08.159
Chase looked at this and was like, uh huh, if

684
00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:11.400
you you're full of it. That probably is where it

685
00:43:11.480 --> 00:43:12.320
should have died.

686
00:43:12.159 --> 00:43:18.679
With him should have but it didn't. There is a

687
00:43:18.760 --> 00:43:23.239
positive plot twist here, but it is a stretch, so

688
00:43:23.320 --> 00:43:26.960
hear me out. I'm sure this female executive at Chase

689
00:43:27.079 --> 00:43:30.039
would love for this to go away completely, or at

690
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:35.960
the very least have her memory wiped of it. There

691
00:43:36.079 --> 00:43:38.679
is a way to do this, but it's not easy.

692
00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:45.159
A woman lost ten years of memories after she pooped

693
00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:48.519
with excessive force. I'm not saying this is a solution.

694
00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:54.360
I'm just saying it's an idea. A woman lost ten

695
00:43:54.440 --> 00:43:58.320
years of memories after she pooped with excessive force. This

696
00:43:58.440 --> 00:44:01.000
is why it's important you just let things happen naturally,

697
00:44:01.079 --> 00:44:01.679
don't force it.

698
00:44:06.400 --> 00:44:08.679
I have a tough time with this one. So did she,

699
00:44:10.119 --> 00:44:15.199
because if this were the case, I would be five.

700
00:44:20.159 --> 00:44:21.559
Is that how hard you strain?

701
00:44:21.679 --> 00:44:26.199
Sometimes? Sometimes I have. I have no regularity, so it's

702
00:44:26.239 --> 00:44:29.039
sometimes it's it's a it's a deal, But yeah, I

703
00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:34.519
I mean, and God knows, if if there was a

704
00:44:34.639 --> 00:44:37.280
if I could strain hard enough just to go back

705
00:44:38.719 --> 00:44:42.719
and forget twenty years of alcoholism, I would do it.

706
00:44:44.440 --> 00:44:46.800
Your version of a Back to the Future reboot is

707
00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:47.679
really depressing.

708
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:53.400
And yeah tell me about it.

709
00:44:55.039 --> 00:44:58.199
In a bizarre medical case that sounds almost unreal, a

710
00:44:58.280 --> 00:45:01.280
woman in Hong Kong reportedly around ten years of her

711
00:45:01.400 --> 00:45:07.599
memory following intense straining caused by severe constipation. Doctors believe

712
00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:10.599
the episode was linked to a rare condition known as

713
00:45:11.480 --> 00:45:15.840
transient global amnesia, which can be triggered by extreme physical

714
00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:18.920
strain that temporarily disrupts blood flow and oxygen to the brain.

715
00:45:19.800 --> 00:45:22.920
Although most of her long term memory returned after receiving

716
00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:28.199
medical care, the specific period surrounding the incident remains completely blank.

717
00:45:28.320 --> 00:45:31.360
It's probably for the best. Medical experts warned that extreme

718
00:45:31.440 --> 00:45:36.360
physical exertion, even in unexpected situations, can occasionally affect brain function,

719
00:45:36.920 --> 00:45:40.159
highlighting how pushing the body too far can come with

720
00:45:40.360 --> 00:45:47.079
serious and unpredictable consequences. Don't do CrossFit when you're sitting

721
00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:54.079
on the toilet, basically, I just I can't fathom straining

722
00:45:54.360 --> 00:45:58.840
so hard to drop a deuce that you end up

723
00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:15.480
with amnesia. I I mean, I've seen stars, buddy. I

724
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:20.559
think it's time to eat a little more fiber or

725
00:46:20.639 --> 00:46:24.760
maybe a stool softener something. Change the diet up just

726
00:46:24.840 --> 00:46:31.440
a little bit. Thank you for being here inside the
