How you been Steve? It's been
a minute. I'm good. I'm good

10
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:11.120
a little. You know, I'm
working kind of crazy schedule right now.

11
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.599
Shannon Murray just had a baby,
so I'm sitting in her chair for I

12
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:21.200
guess the next twelve weeks. Oh
so she's taking the full of maternity leave.

13
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.400
Oh for sure, for sure.
We actually, I would say Fox

14
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:30.040
has a very generous maternity and paternity
leave program and she absolutely should take the

15
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:36.439
time. So yeah, I started
sitting in last Thursday, so this was

16
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:38.719
my first full week. So,
oh good, I got to hang out.

17
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.120
Hannah we catch up. So it's
nice, which is a lot of

18
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:45.840
men's dreams, not yours, but
a lot of men's dreams. Fuddy like,

19
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.319
well, both pictures and you know
a lot of men will chime and

20
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.719
and be like, you're so lucky, dude. Yeah, but what time

21
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.719
did you wake up to be sitting
next to Hannah bit exactly two am?

22
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:04.920
Two am? So wow, you're
filling in for Shannon Murray on the pre

23
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.599
Good Day Show. Yeah. So
I'm on the four to six, the

24
00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:10.719
four to six. Yeah, and
you're having to do that for the entire

25
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.840
twelve weeks or are they gonna rotate
some others? Well, I'm off for

26
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:21.439
spring break and then I think they're
going to rotate in maybe some other you

27
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:23.319
know, folks, I've got you
know, I mean, I've got my

28
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.759
regular job. And then we kind
of talked a couple of months ago.

29
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:31.599
We were testing a new show which
we're about to announce. His Guy has

30
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:36.319
gotten picked up and is going to
start as a spring and summer series twice

31
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.439
a week, and then we're gonna
go to five nights a week in the

32
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:43.360
fall. So I'm working on that. That's outstanding. So I want to

33
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.199
get to the new show here in
just a second. But for the moment,

34
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.080
I'm very curious, and I know
Trey is as well, because he

35
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:53.199
and I did morning radio for a
little over a year and it's never left

36
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:59.159
our bones. Our bones still hurt
and make noises from that schedule and you're

37
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:05.319
now having to live it for a
while. Who'd you piss off? It

38
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:19.080
is a great honor people who don't
know, well, you read, he's

39
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:23.439
a bro. He's got to memorize. They sent the email, here's what

40
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:27.560
you say, and he immediately you
tried to make sure there actually is a

41
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:31.719
rotation list. I think you may
have reminded him. He's like, oh,

42
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:36.560
man, I should probably check on
that. It's really not Honestly,

43
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:38.879
it's not that bad. And again, Hannah and I have have a lot

44
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:43.080
of fun because we do sit there
kind of catching up a lot, to

45
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.479
the point where Evan yelled at us
on the air the other day because we

46
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:49.000
were making too much noise during this
weather report. Little Andrews got mad at

47
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.360
you. He did, he did, and he called us out. I

48
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.280
was telling her a story about something
and there was something that was really funny,

49
00:03:54.319 --> 00:04:00.840
and she did laugh louder than it
was appropriate. And in the middle

50
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:05.000
of his weather segment, he stopped
and scolded on something. Oh my god,

51
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:09.240
you know what it is. He's
jealous. He's jealous probably because he's

52
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.000
never made Hannah laugh that hard,
and he was mad at you. I

53
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.240
mean you said it. I didn't, Steve. I'm happy to be your

54
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:18.600
mouthpiece. I'll say all the things
that that you want to sell. I

55
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:25.360
got nothing to lose. And he
got quite real fast. I was going

56
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:30.360
to make a joke about you offering
to be my mouthpiece since this is we

57
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:34.240
were all thinking it. I mean, seen your peak of fitness. So

58
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:42.560
how how hard do you spring break? Steve? Well, you know we're

59
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:48.639
we're about to find out. So
what is it, Trey? Now?

60
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:54.399
As I say, is your ship
circling through the US Virgin Islands? So

61
00:04:55.000 --> 00:05:00.079
uh no, So otherwise Dana would
come over and uh for dinner. Eh.

62
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:08.199
Where we're going out Galveston. It's
a like a a Cosamel Costa Maya,

63
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:11.680
Honduras kind of situation. I think
there's a couple of days at sea

64
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:15.199
in there. We're eating up the
whole week. So I've actually never been

65
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.639
on a cruise during spring. So
we took the kids on the first cruise

66
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:20.560
last year, they had a really
good time. We just did five days.

67
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:26.360
This time we're doing eight days.
But I've never been on a ship

68
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:30.319
during spring break, and I'm you
know, I was thinking, oh my

69
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.759
gosh, there's gonna be a lot
of kids. And then I was reading

70
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.279
some people on these chat groups.
I guess last couple of weeks ago was

71
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:40.759
like the New England schools had their
spring break and all of the ships out

72
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:43.519
of Galveston were like flooded with drunk
college kids. And I was like,

73
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.800
Oh, that didn't even cross my
mind that that might happen. So I'm

74
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.160
not sure what's going on there.
We'll see. I do find it interesting

75
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:56.240
that you managed to take one of
the longer cruises available through the Caribbean that

76
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:00.600
managed to get nowhere near where I
live. I think there's, like I

77
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.519
said, there's like I mean,
I think that there may be like back

78
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:09.399
to back sea days honestly to get
to where we need to go. Uh

79
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:13.879
So, you know, And we
also, like during the during the vacation,

80
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:15.839
we were talking about booking you know, excursions and stuff, and my

81
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:17.759
husband was like, Oh, they
look at this. We can go see

82
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:21.519
the Mayan ruins and it's like eight
hour tour of the Mayan Ruins. I

83
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.759
was like, are you out of
your damn mind, Like, we are

84
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:27.399
not bringing a five year old and
a seven year old on an eight hour

85
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:32.199
tour of anything, Like I'm thinking
like ninety minute glass bottom boat and we're

86
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.480
back that kind of thing the last
time. You know when when we took

87
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:40.199
them last June, I think it
was it was actually we took them on

88
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:45.040
a submarine and it was the day
of that submarine tragedy, and we had

89
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:49.079
no idea because we were unplugged,
and we posted pictures to like our family

90
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:54.279
like portal and my mom was like, you took the kids on a submarine?

91
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:56.519
Do you have no idea? What's
going on in the world? Work

92
00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:00.600
in the news? Well, here's
the thing. You're smart, you're consumer

93
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.560
reporter and have been for many,
many years. So I'm certain that you

94
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.720
did your research and did not go
with the submersible. That was sort of

95
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:12.439
questionable on this on the our our
submarine was was not attached with a joystick

96
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:16.920
and an extension cord. This was
you know, that's probably and probably not

97
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.920
trying to go you know, a
couple of miles deep. Yeah, we

98
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:23.399
weren't we weren't going down that far. Yeah, and it was. I'm

99
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:27.199
sure it was like I had an
actual pilot and not an Xbox controller exactly.

100
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.959
So, yeah, you mentioned drunken
spring breakers on cruise ships and everything,

101
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:42.240
and I've I've been seeing over the
last week how uh cities are either

102
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:48.000
preparing for the onslaught of spring breakers
or in some cases, like Miami is

103
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:54.000
one of them. Yeah, they're
actively doing things trying to find legal ways

104
00:07:54.639 --> 00:08:00.079
to repel the spring breakers, like
like charging out the ass for parking and

105
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:05.560
uber surge pricing hotels and things Jackie
rates up so much that these kids can't

106
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:09.680
afford it on daddy's credit card type
of stuff. And it leads me to

107
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.639
the question, is spring Break as
we all knew it is? You know,

108
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:18.800
younger folk over you know, I
it's interesting and it's interesting that you

109
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.199
bring up Miami because Miami Beach specifically, and you know South Beach and you

110
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:26.920
know, I mean that's kind of
the birthplace of you know, spring Break,

111
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:31.840
And when you look at there's a
real kind of struggle there because while

112
00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:35.919
the people who run the cities are
like, yeah, we got to throttle

113
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.080
back here, the people who depend
on that income from the influx of spring

114
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:45.000
breakers. Are not very thrilled with
the idea of you know, and I

115
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:48.080
forget if this was all Miami or
not, but like, no more open

116
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:52.000
containers, curfews, no parking,
no you know, no public you know

117
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.720
whatever. Nation, it's just no
fun anymore. What's the world coming to?

118
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.320
So yeah, I I don't know. But then again, if you've

119
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.720
got you know, ten thousand kids
that show up, I mean, how

120
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:07.879
are you possibly going to police that? I thought a lot of that.

121
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.840
I think a lot of the big
spring break had in recent years, especially

122
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:15.519
like you remember seeing videos over the
last couple of years, and some of

123
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:18.799
them from Miami. You've got shootings
and things, You've got childs going wild

124
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.159
tray, What were you going to
say? I thought a lot of Like

125
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.399
I mean, when we were in
college whatever, you know, it was,

126
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.000
Daytona was still a big spring break. Yeah, Yeah, Panama City

127
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:35.559
Beach, Yeah, Panama City Desk
and uh you know those plays. And

128
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:37.679
I feel like all those have kind
of even Padre Island, all those have

129
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.919
kind of mellowed out over the years. Like you don't see the big oh

130
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:45.799
at least I don't see the big
influx of kids like you used to.

131
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.720
And maybe that's just because it's more
global and everyone kind of spreads out.

132
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.720
Yeah, I you know, it's
funny. Our nieces definitely had more of

133
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.080
a spring break experience. I didn't
really have that, certainly, not as

134
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:00.320
a young kid. And then even
in college, like I think my buddies

135
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.279
and I like hopped in the car
and drove to Boston like one year,

136
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:05.480
like we you know, I don't
think that's more of like a southern thing

137
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:11.080
that you would go to you know, Padre or to you know, Destin

138
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:15.399
or Daytona or whatnot. So I, you know, like our niece,

139
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.000
I think that they did, like
you know, tend to a room in

140
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.720
you know, wherever, you know, just to try and save on on

141
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:24.320
expenses. But oh yeah, yeah, that that was That was the spring

142
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:31.120
break era of stackingham deep and hornh
them cheap, which I believe is your

143
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:39.600
tagline for your mouthpiece service. That's
Steve. No, you don't get on

144
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:43.879
TV. Yeah, you get in
the tree. That's all right, that's

145
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:50.080
fun yellow right there. I went
to Padre when I was in college.

146
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:54.679
I want to Padre twice they tell
me, didn't doesn't doesn't San Marcus actually

147
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:58.200
physically moved to Padre during the spring
break. Yes, it does. I

148
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:01.879
remember. I remember the first year
very vividly. It's fun. The second

149
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:07.559
year. There are pictures, I
think somewhere you better hope not. No,

150
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:13.600
I've seen them. I was having
a great time someone holding onto those

151
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:20.519
in like a black mail folder.
I'm sure in case I ever mistakenly drunkenly

152
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:24.919
run for office. Uh yeah,
I think I think it's well established.

153
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.200
Now your your history or even your
recent history doesn't matter anymore about getting elected.

154
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.000
Yes, yeah, I mean these. I mean right, like,

155
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.960
when this next generation of people grow
up and run for political office, I

156
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.960
think it's gonna be like what,
you don't have any you know, scandalous

157
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:43.039
photos, but you know, yeah, I mean that there has to be

158
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.519
like, there's gonna be like a
there has to be the dick pick reveals

159
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:50.480
for this generation when they when they
start running for office, Like, can

160
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:52.120
you just go ahead and show us
so we can get it out of the

161
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:56.320
way. Yeah, that actually makes
sense. It's a lot quicker than than

162
00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:00.679
tracking down the college girlfriends or boyfriends
and asking them about it and getting it

163
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:05.440
secondhand. In this way, they
this actually your right Stephen this way,

164
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:11.559
only fans would be expected an expected
part of your election fundraising. Yeah,

165
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:18.799
that's what I come on. Yeah, well, because I think that that

166
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.480
that you know, to got off
in the tandem with this younger generation that

167
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:26.720
people live in this world of like
everything's temporary, nothing's forever, and you

168
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:28.200
know, whereas a little bit older, the people that kind of grew up

169
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:33.720
with the Internet as opposed to always
just kind of being there still, you

170
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:37.440
know, follow the you know,
the rules of conduct, never you know,

171
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.600
never your face and you're junk in
the same photo. I mean,

172
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.200
let's it's it's easy, easy math
here one o one dumb stuff. Yeah.

173
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.639
See, so like for me like
Raj, I know, going to

174
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.080
Texas State or I'm sorry, Southwest
Texas State. That's when he went there.

175
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:54.519
So he's beholden to the to the
old name Trey at Ut. I

176
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:58.000
know you guys had fun in during
spring break. I did not. I

177
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:03.080
I worked on the spring break working
at a radio station. All the other

178
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:07.679
kids on the promotions team would go
do a spring break like skiing or the

179
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.120
beach or whatever, and I worked
sixty hours a week because I was like,

180
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:13.080
hey, I'm gonna make rent and
then some this month because I'm the

181
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:16.799
only one left in town to work. You were, you were a dedicated

182
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:22.000
mouthpiece. That's right, That is
right, And I feel the need to

183
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:31.360
update my resume and my LinkedIn to
put dedicated mouthpiece for Steve Noviella, whoa

184
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.440
like you know, we hadn't even
finished the interviews. We are, what

185
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:43.000
ten minutes in. But I'm curious
though, Like you said, you went

186
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:46.919
to Boston with some friends, and
you think maybe the crazy spring break stuff

187
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.480
was more of a south of the
Mason Dixon thing, So you never ran

188
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:54.799
off to the Jersey Shore during spring
break or anything. No, you know

189
00:13:54.879 --> 00:14:00.960
what I didn't. I will say, like I do remember, Like I

190
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.679
mean, when I was really young, spring break was like me and you

191
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:07.440
know, Bob Barker and card Sharks
and the Prices Light hanging out of the

192
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:11.200
couch for a week while you know, my parents were at work. And

193
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:15.600
then you know, as I was
older, I remember like watching like MTV

194
00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:18.639
would do, like you know,
three or three weeks of like coverage from

195
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:22.279
spring break, and I was a
little too young for it. And then

196
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:24.879
suddenly I was a little too old
for it. I don't really remember much

197
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:28.039
of what happened in those middle years. I'm really glad you brought that up,

198
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:35.240
because that is something that I feel
like affected spring Break once MTV really

199
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:41.279
stopped doing music altogether and they didn't
have the spring Break specials for two or

200
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:43.879
three weeks, like you said,
because that was what got me through spring

201
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:48.279
Break. Is like you'd wake up
watch Prices, right, and then I'd

202
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.519
flip on MTV and watch spring Break
because I couldn't go, so I'd watch

203
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:56.440
spring Break sort of live y Carrie's
lingud Man. It looks like a lot

204
00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:58.960
of fun, and that's a where
do they find all the water for these,

205
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:07.519
you know contests? But once it's
almost seemed like maybe it's coincided to

206
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:13.600
where once MTV stopped doing it,
then it changed or something. Yeah.

207
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:15.759
Well, and when you look back
at all of it, I mean they

208
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:16.840
used to like, I mean,
they would canty. It was like the

209
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.879
days of like I mean, I
think Carson Daly was down there, you

210
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.480
know, back back then, and
Daisy Fuentes and Tabath Sorn and you know

211
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:26.960
that whole. I mean, even
they would drag out Kurt Loder, who

212
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:30.080
you know, probably was twenty nine
at the time, but seemed to be

213
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:35.960
one hundred, you know, but
uh, you know, and and but

214
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:39.000
it was. It was interesting because
it was like watching a TV show of

215
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:41.519
what you thought spring break was,
and apparently it, you know, apparently

216
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:46.440
was kind of kind of it was
kind of reality TV before before that became

217
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:50.600
the name of it. But what
also like for our generation, because I

218
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:52.159
mean there was it seems like there's
so many eighties movies that had a spring

219
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:56.200
break theme. I mean it was
like, I think we grew up like,

220
00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:58.480
oh my god, that's supposed to
be the most epic time of your

221
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:03.320
life is spring break. And then
honestly it's like, yeah, yeah,

222
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:07.320
that's fun, but it's also just
kind of a drunken shit show. Yeah,

223
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.519
I'm the first Yeah, the first
time I went down to pot I

224
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.200
mean, it was it was that
thing. It was the it was the

225
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:17.799
everything you saw in the movies like
the Wild. Like I was, you

226
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:21.960
know, from a you know,
immigrant Hindu household, you know, off

227
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:23.840
to college and I'm at spring break
and I was like, I can't believe

228
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:27.679
you guys are doing this for plastic
beads, Like this is me, this

229
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:33.639
is fantastic. Like you you have
a you set the bar solo. Well,

230
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:37.799
done manuh, And it was that
the second year we went like that.

231
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.240
We just I just kind of hung
out and just drank. But because

232
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:42.799
that whole that whole thing had worn
off for me, I was like,

233
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:47.080
Okay, now I've already seen it
and it was just a repeat of what

234
00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:48.440
I saw the year before. And
I was like, Okay, so this

235
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.639
is just kind of every year.
But I think I think Steve hit a

236
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:57.200
very big point about there is a
very tiny window as far as when you

237
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:02.279
look at life as a whole where
break really is. You're in your wheelhouse.

238
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:06.279
Otherwise you are too young old and
it happens really quick. That's true

239
00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:08.599
because the third year, when everybody
else was going, I went up.

240
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:11.599
I came up to Dallas and worked
that week with my with my folks at

241
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:15.680
their at their business. So I
did that the last two years. So

242
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:18.920
first two years went to spring read
the last two years work. And I

243
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.559
love how you you mentioned Steve with
the MTV stuff and they rolling out all

244
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:26.759
the VJs. You know, it's
like for me watching it on TV for

245
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:29.680
those couple of years and then like
Raj and Trey, you're saying you do

246
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:32.559
it a couple of times, like
you watch a couple of MTV spring Breaks

247
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:33.119
for a couple of years, like, Okay, now I get it.

248
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:40.400
I've seen Daisy Fintis in in the
bikini. I've seen Carson Daily really committed

249
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:45.599
to still wearing dark colored clothing but
now he's wearing shorts. Every every they

250
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:48.079
needed more of a presentation though,
whenever they would wheel out Kurt Loder because

251
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:52.559
you know, that's the only time
every year he actually saw the sun.

252
00:17:53.559 --> 00:18:00.799
But yeah, after Ricky Rackman the
roll out too, you see a lot

253
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:04.799
of sun either oh my god,
uh or the you o MTV raps guys

254
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:08.319
out on on the beach and stuff
that. I mean that maybe it's like

255
00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:14.400
most things nowadays, everything's wrapped in
nostalgia to make you feel good. But

256
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:19.200
I don't necessarily want to see MTV
spring Break rebooted for our generation now,

257
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:23.720
because otherwise it's just going to be
like Simon Rex interviewing Steve and his husband

258
00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:27.160
and their two kids on the cruise
ship somewhere outside of on Duras, going

259
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:33.720
like the buffet was a little lackluster. Well, you know, I mean,

260
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:36.680
but but but if you look at
that, there's really I think the

261
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:40.160
need for that is gone, right, because at the time that was your

262
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:45.559
only access to this inside look.
And now you get on Instagram and everybody

263
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:48.720
is, you know, posting about
their experience, and you could, you

264
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:51.319
know, you could check out you
know what all different people are doing.

265
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:53.119
Uh, you know, there's the
idea. I mean because for a while

266
00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:56.000
there they had like like when the
Real World started, and then then they

267
00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:00.359
would have Eric Nye and the cast
of the Real World for the you know,

268
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:04.559
for the week I'm you know,
and now it's like, okay,

269
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:10.400
well everybody just we you can access
that content. You don't need to you

270
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:14.319
don't need a TV show. What
is on MTV? Now? What is

271
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:17.079
this is? I'm gonna sound old
right now. What is There's a lot

272
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:22.599
of programming right like teen Mom and
like my I think I watched like I

273
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:25.880
think like My Super Sweet sixteen was
on, but that's got to be ten

274
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:29.880
years ago. Yeah, it's a
lot of a lot of movies. Oh

275
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:32.960
interesting, okay, because I know
there's now MTV two is all music Now

276
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:38.359
I thought there was a separate MTV
like all me, Like, I I

277
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:44.440
know both MTV and vah ones said
they were launching stations that actually played music

278
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:48.319
again. But yeah, I assumed
that was MTV the ocho playing do people

279
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:52.759
make music videos anymore? They do
it. It's for it's for YouTube,

280
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:56.799
okay, it's for the like artists
YouTube channels, so you can go on.

281
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:03.200
But they do. They do still
make music videos for four snippets for

282
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:06.440
social media and then for YouTube.
Yeah, like I remember as a kid,

283
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:08.680
like when the Michael Jackson Thriller,
Oh yeah, I mean that was

284
00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:12.480
like every you could watch it every
twelve minutes or whatever the you know,

285
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:17.000
and then I had the making of
you know, as long as it was

286
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:18.440
in ten to the hour every hour
and Kurt was giving you the news,

287
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:23.359
you could you could tune in check
out. Yeah, you could also try

288
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:29.200
to uh you could also try to
look into the crowd behind Michael Jackson in

289
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:30.920
the Thriller video, all the dancers
and see if you could pick out which

290
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:40.920
of those zombies was Kurt Loader.
Like Kurt Loader could dance. But like

291
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:42.799
back then, it was, you
know, product placement was the big thing.

292
00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:47.720
So PEPSI signed Madonna and PEPSI signed
you know, Michael Jackson, so

293
00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:49.559
it was like, you know,
PEPSI presents the new Madonna video and it

294
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:53.000
was I think it was I can't
remember the name of the song, but

295
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:56.880
the one in the church and it
was the Black Jesus and that was the

296
00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:02.839
big controversy. And then didn't Michael
kind of ruin that too when his hair

297
00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:07.799
cut on fire brought to you by
PEPSI didn't know. I feel like that

298
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:11.079
made it even like you know more. I mean, that was like such

299
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:14.720
a moment for you know, for
him, he was Taylor Swift of his

300
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:22.279
time. I mean, I'm tellious
one last very important question for you,

301
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:26.319
Steve, before we let you out
of here for your spring break. When

302
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:30.559
you take a week off when you're
on vacation, do you still wear a

303
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:32.960
tie? Is it something you feel
like you have to do every day or

304
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:34.799
you like But I'm not wearing a
tie until I go back to the TV

305
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:44.960
station. Tie but no shirt and
no pants. No pants coming up in

306
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:48.599
my Only Dan's video, Steve's going
to show me how to tie a tie.

307
00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:55.079
I am genuinely curious about that,
Steve, because I commented on a

308
00:21:55.160 --> 00:22:00.000
photo that you did the other day
on Instagram. Because I don't know it's

309
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.079
TV guys, I don't know what
it is. Maybe it's the practice,

310
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:07.799
but your your tie knots are always
perfect. You got the dimple right in

311
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:10.319
the middle, plus you got the
little dimple and the tie. I mean

312
00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:14.240
it really is, it really is. Well, when you tie a tie,

313
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:17.720
do you intentionally or do you just
like hope for the best and what

314
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:23.079
happens happens? Do you go full
windsor or half windsor I go It depends

315
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:26.160
on the shirt collar, So like, whichever the bigger one is, I'll

316
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:30.119
go for that. If the shirt
collar is wider, half wins. Okay,

317
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:33.920
So that doesn't even make any sense. I mean it does occasionally I

318
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:34.920
do it really well and I'm like, oh, yeah, now I just

319
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:38.119
need to maintain this shape. Maybe
I throw it in the freezer so it

320
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:42.759
doesn't even move again. But any
any hack, any trick, any tip

321
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:45.720
is fine. Now, No,
it's got to be intentional. Actually,

322
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:48.759
and this is not I actually have
it happened to have a tie right here.

323
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:52.240
But when you tie it and you
kind of go through for the final

324
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:57.440
you know loop, you have to
with your finger press in and then pinch

325
00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:03.160
so that your intention see that even
look at my speach, that you're intentionally

326
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:07.119
creating a dimple that then gets you
know, locked in when you pull down

327
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:11.759
because the tie becomes ti. Okay, so are you using your index finger

328
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:17.359
for finger to dimple and then middle
and thumb to pinch? So how do

329
00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:21.839
you tie the tie? Yeah?
Exactly, I am so shaped. I

330
00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:26.279
remember from high school. I can
hear Evan Andrews yelling at me from the

331
00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:30.720
weather version of the studio. Now, well, thank you for the tip.

332
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:32.519
I actually really do appreciate that.
I didn't know that. Man.

333
00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:34.440
I don't know if Trey's upset because
when he did high end real estate,

334
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:38.319
he wore suits all the time.
But yours, your ties and your dimples

335
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:42.880
are the ones I remember the most. Thank you. Thank you. And

336
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:48.599
Baron James, who used to work
for us UH forever ago. He was

337
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:52.960
Clarice's co anchor when I first cat. He loved a really bit, like

338
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:59.279
an obscenely big knot. And the
way that he did that was he would

339
00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:06.279
tie his ties, but they would
be just long enough to eclipse the jacket

340
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:08.960
and then that's why they were so
thick. So he had these really giant

341
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:11.279
knots. But then if he took
his coat off, his tie was like

342
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:15.400
three inches long. See I've wondered
that because I thought about how does that

343
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:22.440
work? Because you either have to
buy extremely long ties. And I've had

344
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:26.680
this thought when Michael Irvin was on
ESPN a lot and the big knot was

345
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:33.279
in fashion and it really looked like
two fists in front of his throat,

346
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.039
and I had that. I wondered, is the rest of the tie somewhere

347
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:41.200
like in his chest? It's just
long enough can tuck into the coat,

348
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:45.920
so that opt that must be it. Otherwise you're buying ties from you know,

349
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:52.480
Shaquille O'Neil's tailor. Yeah, So
for the tie, the fingers,

350
00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:56.880
the dumple, the thumb, the
middle finger, pinch, pull, push,

351
00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:00.000
got it? Okay? Yep.
As a man of the claw,

352
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:06.480
I perform weddings here as my side
hustle, and I like to make sure

353
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:08.599
that my tie looks good because I'm
going to be in these people's photos.

354
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:11.880
I'm going to make sure that my
dimple's not you know, that is ahead?

355
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:15.240
I'm sorry? Is that a side
hustle? Or for you? Is

356
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:22.720
that indentured servitude? What do you
mean indentured servitude? Aren't you technically working

357
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:26.440
for your wife? No one,
no one likes to talk to you,

358
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:33.599
Trey. Are you not which that
ministry? Did you get ordained with Yes,

359
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.440
Universal Life Church all the way back. I believe in like two thousand

360
00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:41.319
and four or something. So I've
I've been I've been around a long time.

361
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:45.319
So if if you and Doug ever
want to renew your vows, I

362
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:48.799
got you. Well, I I
too, am a fellow Universal Life minister.

363
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:52.680
Look at that. Although I don't
know, can you do yourself?

364
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:56.960
I don't know. Three three clergymen
here, look at this? Do you

365
00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:59.680
want to be ordained by three men? I mean, we can bless you

366
00:25:59.799 --> 00:26:10.279
right now out about will make you
a saint. Steve, have a wonderful

367
00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:12.599
spring break. I intend to no
phone for a week. That's gonna be

368
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:17.799
the best part. Oh yeah,
that's awesome. Well that's that's that's gonna

369
00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:19.559
be sad for Evan Andrews because he
won't get those special photos from you.

370
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:22.759
I'll tell you what, give me
his number, I'll send him. So

00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:30.319
I have a great trip with the

00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:42.759

378
00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:55.599
well established. So the show actually
was called for Real when we tested.

It is being rebranded. It's gonna
be called Last Call with Steve Nobiello.

408
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:18.200
and Restoration. You know, Daniel. In the roofing industry, it seems

409
00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:22.640
like there are tons and tons of
companies that offer the free roof inspection like

410
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:26.559
you do, which is a great
service that you offer. However, not

411
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:32.720
all of those other companies offer a
lifetime warranty on their work, which is

412
00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:37.720
actually something you do at COOKDFW Roofing
and Restoration. Yeah. Dan, that

413
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:41.119
is an important item that really separates
us from a lot of our competition.

414
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:45.880
And it's just merely because we stand
behind our product. We're a local,

415
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:51.279
family owned company. We're not what
is this what's the old saying two chucks

416
00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:53.480
in a truck. I mean,
we have a lot of professional individuals that

417
00:29:53.519 --> 00:30:00.200
are trained, go through a lot
of CEO continuing education to improve their training.

418
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:03.720
We have to get certified in different
aspects every year, and we really

419
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:07.519
do want to make make sure that
we're doing the best for our clients,

420
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:11.720
and that means a lifetime warranty.
And so when you trust us with your

421
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:18.319
home We're going to reciprocate and give
you the most best quality product that we

of the things that I love about you

426
00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:37.400
and your wife, Carrie with COOKDFW
Roofing and Restoration is that you don't treat

treat this as a scam like many other

428
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:47.079
people do in the roofing industry.
You treat it as a mission. And

440
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:53.359
chance to ask Steve that I wish
I had, but I know he was

441
00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:59.079
antsy to leave us and go get
on a cruise ship with his family,

442
00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:07.599
not another cruising and that was We
have to clarify something that we discussed in

443
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:12.240
a previous episode last week, and
it had to do with Raj being right,

444
00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:20.319
specifically, I'm your huckleberry, the
line famous in the movie Tombstone.

445
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:25.039
Trey and I were under the impression
that Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday had said

446
00:32:25.319 --> 00:32:30.000
to Johnny Ringo before he killed him, I'm your huckleberry, to which Roz

447
00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:32.160
told us no, no, no, no, no, that's not correct.

448
00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:36.519
In fact, he is saying what
Raj, I'm your huckle bearer,

449
00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:40.960
which was it was the handles on
the sides of coffins back in the eighteen

450
00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:45.400
hundreds were called huckles. So he
was basically saying, I'll be your pall

451
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:52.000
bearer. And that's what they called
those men then, because I guess Paul

452
00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:54.720
Bearer had not been created or invented
yet, it was huckle bearer because of

453
00:32:54.759 --> 00:33:00.880
the huckles on the caskets. Yes, okay, so this is the dangerous

454
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:06.559
territory that we find ourselves in.
We start trying to educate ourselves inside the

455
00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:15.319
stupid treehouse. Because then other experts
have come forward, dear dear listeners of

456
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:20.119
the treehouse to say, not so
fast, my friend, as if there

457
00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:22.599
are a bunch of lead corsos running
around with uh uh, doc Holiday,

458
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:30.440
you know, heads on to say
Val Kilmer was right, Tombstone was right.

459
00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:38.119
He does say I'm your huckle berry
because number one, my finger here.

460
00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:43.880
Number one, it was in the
script. Val Kilmer has stated he

461
00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:46.119
read it from the script. It
was in the script I'm your huckleberry.

462
00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:52.319
Then I will. Then I went
further down the rabbit hole that that that

463
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:55.079
our dear dear listeners sent me into, and I found I found a video

464
00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:59.119
online, which, of course,
you know online video should always be trusted.

465
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:06.839
Where im and said back in the
day of ye old England and knights

466
00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:15.840
and things, they would put huckleberries
on their lances to signify they're the champion

467
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:22.000
of the joust. And that is
supposedly how it originated. And then and

468
00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:28.559
then fast forward into southern gentlemanly times, that would have carried over with the

469
00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:31.639
chivalry, the knighthood and everything,
saying I'm your huckle bearer, I'm your

470
00:34:31.719 --> 00:34:37.920
huckleberry. That's not a Frodian slip
so much so. And this is where

471
00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:44.039
the two pats intersect, right where
Raj is both right and wrong, somewhere

472
00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:49.960
in the middle of the teeniest tiniest
venn diagram you've ever seen. You are

473
00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:53.519
right, Raj. The men that
carried the caskets were called huckle bearers,

474
00:34:57.199 --> 00:35:02.880
but they also wore on their lapels
typically huckle Berry's mm hmm. So there's

475
00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:10.360
the intersection where you're both right and
a little wrong. And ultimately, Val

476
00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:14.239
Kilmer said huckleberry because he said,
he said it, and it was in

477
00:35:14.280 --> 00:35:16.800
the script, and the other thing
I tried to do to verify this was

478
00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:22.840
in my uh, you know,
show brain, was I know how we

479
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:30.000
can settle this. Let me look
up who wrote Tombstone and invite this person

480
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:34.559
onto the show to clear this up
for us, even though we can see

481
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:42.360
the script online. Bad news,
he's dead. That was That was Kevin

482
00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:45.480
Jari. I think that's how you
say his last name. A prolific Hollywood

483
00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:50.679
writer. He wrote some other wonderful
films. I don't need to go down

484
00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:52.840
his entire list, but he's a
he's a good writer. And I recognized

485
00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:55.119
the name as soon as I saw
it, So then I thought, okay,

486
00:35:55.159 --> 00:35:59.639
fine, let me see about the
director. Because the director is obviously

487
00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:04.280
going to know about the script.
We'll ask him. Turns out he's dead

488
00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:09.639
too, and I, unfortunately I
can't currently ask veil Val Kilmer. So

489
00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:17.119
we're left with the internet sleuthing that
I've done. Gotcha. I have to

490
00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:25.079
know what what transpired between the two
of you that left Dan so scarred that

491
00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:30.880
Raj being right on such a trivial
thing has led him two weeks of internet

492
00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:37.239
research and sleuthing. He doesn't he
doesn't like me being right. What what

493
00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:50.320
what happened? Honestly, I better
think of a good reason, really fucking

494
00:36:50.400 --> 00:37:00.679
fast, otherwise that's gonna stick,
and I'm gonna let it. Unfortunately,

495
00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:04.320
I can't think of what so I
find myself in a real predicament here.

496
00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:09.960
Other thing for me to say it
just doesn't feel good doesn't help my cause

497
00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:16.599
how about this. I don't typically
get to be right very often in my

498
00:37:16.719 --> 00:37:20.760
life, So any opportunity that I
can be right, I'm going to try

499
00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:22.519
to reach for it. That's about
as good as I can come up with

500
00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:25.559
at the moment, because I have
not dug down too decently. Here's why

501
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:30.320
it bothers me being right. Here's
where I get petty. When you said

502
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:32.400
you looked, when you looked it
up, what's your source? What did

503
00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:36.400
you? Because I just looked it
up too, So what's your what's your

504
00:37:36.400 --> 00:37:39.280
source? Uh? There's a guy
on YouTube? There was a guy on

505
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:45.280
YouTube. Oh yeah, is the
next video where Bigfoot lives? That was

506
00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:46.880
like that? That was the third
one down. Don't be ridiculous, rug.

507
00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:53.519
I very much realize and and accept
the fact that, like most people

508
00:37:53.639 --> 00:38:00.239
trying to find information that they want
to find to support their argument, it's

509
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:04.119
very easy to do so online,
whether it's accurate or not. But it

510
00:38:04.159 --> 00:38:07.679
makes you feel good and and that's
why you repeat it, and it also

511
00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:12.119
makes you seem smart. But really
reality, all you're doing is repeating stuff,

512
00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:15.880
right, I did. I did
various you know, internet searches as

513
00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:19.440
much as you can. I mean, Wikipedia is a pretty solid source most

514
00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:22.199
of the time. You just got
to make sure that some of the you

515
00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:24.719
know, the stuff that's in there, you know, is not someone just

516
00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:30.760
having fun with a wiki page.
But yeah, I mean you type into

517
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:35.159
the Google huckle Berry versus huckle Bearer, and next thing you know, you're

518
00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:38.920
seeing videos pop up about nine to
eleven conspiracies because the Internet thinks you're that

519
00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:51.280
gullible or you want the truth see
or you have that time on your hands.

520
00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:54.000
People, I had about fifteen minutes, tray. That's about the time.

521
00:38:54.199 --> 00:38:57.760
I'd like to say for the record
that I devoted to it, even

522
00:38:57.760 --> 00:39:00.440
though it was much more than that. Oh good, Okay, I didn't.

523
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:02.119
I didn't want to. I didn't
want to my being right to consume

524
00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:07.480
your weekend, I didn't want it
to to. What I do with my

525
00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:13.480
personal time is my business. No. But the context, the reason the

526
00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:16.719
huckle bear thing comes up is because
he says when he says, I'm your

527
00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:21.320
huggle bear, and then he comes
out of the shadow and he says,

528
00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:22.960
why, Johnny Ringo, you look
like somebody just walked over your grave.

529
00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:28.119
And it's that's where the context of
I'm your huckle bear comes in. So

530
00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:31.079
he might have been saying huckle berry
before. I don't know, but that's

531
00:39:31.119 --> 00:39:37.320
specific. It's and again when you
go back to the thing like factually incorrect,

532
00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:42.000
like he Doc Holliday was in court
in Colorado when Johnny Ringo died,

533
00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:46.400
so there was no way he ever
actually shot Johnny Ringo. So well,

534
00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:50.400
we know, Hollywood takes a lot
of license with things. Yeah, they

535
00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:54.360
took they took Johnny Ringo's actual suicide
and made it Doc Holladay killing him.

536
00:39:54.760 --> 00:39:59.400
So it's a little bit of a
little bit more of an artistic liberty than

537
00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:07.239
than most most movies will take.
You would think that you would think that

538
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:15.280
the remaining Ringos would have had something
to say, Please God when God forbid

539
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:19.599
whenever Paul McCartney dies, if Ringo
Star is still alive, that's the name

540
00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:27.280
of his band, Remaining Ringo.
Yeah, that's the that's the tribute band

541
00:40:27.280 --> 00:40:32.519
for Ringo Star, Remaining Ringos.
Yes, I don't know, it's it's

542
00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:37.880
not a Beatles tribute band, that's
a Ringo Star tribute band. And the

543
00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:42.400
entire band is just four guys dressed
as Ringo star, all playing the drums.

544
00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:47.239
It's chaos. Yes, I don't
know how how, I don't know

545
00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:52.840
how vast of a family Johnny Ringo
had, but I'm hoping, uh,

546
00:40:52.880 --> 00:40:57.400
maybe we can find we can do
like an ancestry something, and we can

547
00:40:57.480 --> 00:41:04.719
find his his family members to clarify
and verify that Doc Holliday did not actually

548
00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:09.360
kill Ringo. Yeah. So not
only did Tombstone take great license with historical

549
00:41:09.440 --> 00:41:15.320
facts but also terms as we're now
kind of left in this gray area of

550
00:41:16.599 --> 00:41:22.199
huckle Berry versus huckle Bearer. And
again, great irony in this is that

551
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:25.239
I can't call the writer of the
film to ask him because he died.

552
00:41:25.639 --> 00:41:30.719
Also can't ask the director because he's
also dead. But can you can you

553
00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:32.519
not look up the script online?
Can you not look up? You can?

554
00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:37.199
But that's but then we're looking at
an image online which can be you

555
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:42.679
know, doctored and falsified in some
way. Oh okay, okay, so

556
00:41:43.199 --> 00:41:47.360
you're so you'll go down the rabbit
hole of information. But when it comes

557
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:52.559
to reading the script that's online,
that could be doctor Yeah, just because

558
00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:55.559
you can see the flag on the
moon doesn't mean the flags on the moon,

559
00:41:55.679 --> 00:42:06.400
Raj, Hey you Trey. Oh
no, I have a fear we're

560
00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:09.559
going this way. But again going
back to the irony in this, and

561
00:42:09.599 --> 00:42:14.519
I would love to be able to
ask the writer of tombstone, you know,

562
00:42:15.199 --> 00:42:21.000
go straight to the source. Was
it Huckleberry or huckle bearer? And

563
00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:24.320
even if I had been, interestingly
enough one of his huckle bearers at his

564
00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:28.199
funeral, I would have still opened
the casket a little bit and go,

565
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:32.039
hey, I got a quick question. I know you're embalmed in all,

566
00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:37.559
but any chance you got a original
script in there with you that I could

567
00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:44.280
take a look at the bear him
with the script and you take it out,

568
00:42:45.119 --> 00:42:49.480
ah proof And I run to you, Raj, I run to you.

569
00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:52.719
I have now robbed a man's grave
to show you that you were wrong.

570
00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:57.440
And that's how much I don't want
you to be right. And again

571
00:42:57.519 --> 00:43:00.920
I have not come up with a
good answer in the last ten minutes since

572
00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:04.280
Trey brought it up that the reason
for me not wanting you to be right

573
00:43:04.519 --> 00:43:12.239
might be steeped to racism. It
ultimately just boils down to not wanting a

574
00:43:12.280 --> 00:43:15.559
friend that I've had for like twenty
years to be right about something when I

575
00:43:15.639 --> 00:43:20.960
want to be right about it.
I just hope with that guy's funeral,

576
00:43:21.320 --> 00:43:27.800
whoever wrote it, when they in
the the pamphlet, they just put instead

577
00:43:27.800 --> 00:43:30.159
of you know, not huckle not
Paul, just blank bear, just so

578
00:43:30.239 --> 00:43:37.039
everyone could take a guess. Uh, that'd be a dick move. Although

579
00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:39.480
he is one of the one of
the few people that could actually have on

580
00:43:39.559 --> 00:43:44.559
his tombstone I'm your Huckleberry, and
he could actually own it because he wrote

581
00:43:44.599 --> 00:43:53.000
it. So I have I have
the script. And this is the part

582
00:43:53.039 --> 00:43:59.559
where Johnny Ringo's drunk and he the
IRPs are walking down the street. Doc

583
00:43:59.599 --> 00:44:07.920
Holliday getting the shave, doing his
his shave and he's threatening the brothers.

584
00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:10.840
He said, you know, I
want to fight you, and he's like,

585
00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:14.320
sober up. There's no money in
it. And he's like, don't

586
00:44:14.320 --> 00:44:16.599
you guys have any Uh? Don't
you guys want to play for blood?

587
00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:23.960
And don Holiday says that's just my
game and over the shoulder voiceover it says,

588
00:44:25.079 --> 00:44:34.679
I'm your Huncleberry. So you are
correct, Okay, I'm I'm I'm

589
00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:40.360
what In the script it says,
I'm your Huncleberry. So there are so

590
00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:44.679
we're both We're at the we're both
at the intersection of that Vin diagram.

591
00:44:44.679 --> 00:44:51.320
We're both correct. Yes, we're
both correct. I'm sorry. All I

592
00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:54.920
heard was that I was right.
Yeah, we're both correct. The Humcleberry

593
00:44:54.960 --> 00:44:58.960
is in the script and huckle Bear
is what they were called. But you

594
00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:01.679
still have to figure out why it
bothered you so much. Yeah, you

595
00:45:01.719 --> 00:45:06.559
need some therapy on that one.
I haven't really thought that since we did.

596
00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:09.760
I haven't really. It's going to
be a difficult conversation to have with

597
00:45:09.800 --> 00:45:22.760
my therapist about it because she's black. Oh that's why she's never right.

598
00:45:25.280 --> 00:45:30.360
Just kidding. Oh, but I
do need therapy. Thanks for hanging out

599
00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:36.199
with us inside the tree House.
Coming up tomorrow, Day two of Treehouse

600
00:45:36.320 --> 00:45:39.760
Gone Wild. Treehouse Gone Wild day
too. It's spring break in the Treehouse.

601
00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:43.199
Thanks for being with us. We'll
see you back here tomorrow.
