8
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:54.560
Unfortunately with a way that we've started.

9
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:56.240
The show a couple of times already this year, and

10
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:57.840
that is what some sad news to report.

11
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:03.840
Trail, this is your news to deliver.

12
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:19.640
Uh yeah, my mom passed away on Sunday. It's It's

13
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:24.719
one of the most conflicting things that I've ever emotionally

14
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:32.120
been through watching someone pass away the way she did.

15
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:37.040
You know, if we put animals through the same thing,

16
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:45.480
we would be called inhumane, but you know, you can

17
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:49.120
be merciful to them, but not to people. And watching

18
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:56.239
at a certain point my experience, the mind is gone

19
00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:03.640
and then the body is just just grasping. So but

20
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:08.960
hopefully she is in a better place. And it's a

21
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.719
very weird. I think the weirdest thing for me is

22
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:22.319
the fact that I've it hit me that the three

23
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.759
things that occupied most of my time and attention starting

24
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:32.960
twenty twenty six are all gone. Yeah, Daisy died, Mom died.

25
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:35.159
Brandy just left me and I still don't know why.

26
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:36.520
So yay me.

27
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.280
You're going through it.

28
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:50.159
It's been a kicking the balls, not gonna lie so

29
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:56.159
but I'm I'm doing my best not to put a

30
00:02:56.199 --> 00:03:00.599
bullet in my head.

31
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:06.080
So what you're saying is your mom will not be

32
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:08.520
returning in Avengers Doomsday.

33
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:13.560
You know, the multiverse is kind of screwy, so who knows.

34
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:15.879
Sorry, that was kind of a big swing.

35
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:17.840
I thought of that joke earlier today and I was like, man,

36
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:19.039
I don't know if he's going to go for that

37
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:20.800
or not, so I'll just kind of play it by

38
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:26.360
ear In all seriousness, I really was thinking about everything

39
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.680
you just said right there about twenty twenty six being.

40
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.560
Unkind to you with.

41
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:39.639
Losing easily the one thing on this planet you cared

42
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:42.400
most about, which was which was Daisy, your best friend,

43
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:51.080
little little chihuaba. Then you're a girlfriend disappearing out of nowhere,

44
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.479
and then your mom passing away, which was I think

45
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.400
the word you used, the word you use can inflicting

46
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.520
I think is the most appropriate because it's such a

47
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:09.400
weird thing to be conflicted about someone passing away. Uh,

48
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:16.199
but it's true. There are relationships we have with people,

49
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:22.399
especially near the end, is a fascinating thing, especially when

50
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.079
the relationship itself was complicated.

51
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:27.920
It's just it's I.

52
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.279
Don't know if there's really I mean, you can come up,

53
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:32.720
you can look in at the source and find other words, intriguing,

54
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:33.839
fascinating mess.

55
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.879
It's just it's it's just a it's a mix of emotions.

56
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:43.000
Not not to be so trite, but it's true.

57
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:47.519
It's ye and it's it's very it's there's a lot

58
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:52.759
of tears to it. I have been overseeing my mother's

59
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:58.199
care for six years.

60
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:57.319
And.

61
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.759
Especially and on the I've spent more time with my

62
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:05.839
mother in the last four months since she started this

63
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:11.720
journey into hospice in January, than I had in years.

64
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:16.079
And the sad thing is she was the most pleasant

65
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.360
and nice to be around the last four months than

66
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:23.959
she had been in my entire life. She was grateful

67
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:28.120
when I would come see her, and you know, it

68
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.600
was and otherwise because for most of my life she

69
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:34.040
was absolutely and she was not a good mother, and

70
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:41.720
she was just generally a horrible person. So but I

71
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:45.600
guess I'm fortunate in that a lot of things I

72
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:49.360
would normally probably be processing right now. I processed when

73
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:56.720
I got sober and made my amends with my mother,

74
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.040
knowing that I would never and she never did. You know,

75
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:01.800
a lot of times when you make amends, people are like, well,

76
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:03.639
I'm sorry for I did this or I did that.

77
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.720
Not her, she was like, well, thank you, I'm I'm

78
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:09.959
that's long overdue, and.

79
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.120
Never missed an opportunity to rub some salt in the wound.

80
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:17.120
Right. And she was also the only person in my

81
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:26.000
sobriety whoever said to me I wish you would drink, so,

82
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.560
you know. But at the same time, she was also

83
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.600
the person who said I was an alcoholic before of

84
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:39.000
anyone else. You know, I said, I hope she's in

85
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:43.480
a better place. She's been stuck in a bed for

86
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:46.600
the last four months, and mentally she's been gone for

87
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:52.959
a while. I mean, not completely. But my mother is

88
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.399
a great example of how not to to not age.

89
00:06:57.399 --> 00:06:59.920
She basically spent the last twenty years sitting on her

90
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:04.240
and watching TV, did nothing that stimulated her body or mind,

91
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:08.800
and it all came crashing down upon her. And so

92
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.199
that's probably the if there was one lesson to be

93
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:16.240
learned that I it's, you know, stay active, keep moving,

94
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:23.480
keep read, do things that exercise your mind, and it'll

95
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:25.439
certainly it'll pay off.

96
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:29.519
Yeah, that's one of the ways that I feel pretty

97
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:34.639
good about my mom's physical state. She's always been very

98
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:41.519
physically active on some level. And so she's not typically

99
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:45.639
the type that'll just vege and that's it. Like she

100
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:47.319
might vege a little bit here and there and take

101
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:49.680
a nap on the couch whatever, but she's still doing

102
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:52.240
other things like where she can physically, she'll get up

103
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.000
and do things, and she tries to do stuff around

104
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:59.439
the house, and and my mom mentally is all there.

105
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:02.360
She'll well, she loves doing like these little adult work

106
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:05.680
books and puzzle books and things. So I like to

107
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:08.120
give her a hard time saying it's like you make like,

108
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:15.079
make sure you keep doing these adult activity books, because

109
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:17.439
it actually works pretty well for me and my sister.

110
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:24.639
My sister's her main caretaker. Those adult activity books with

111
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:26.439
our mom are going to be a great indicator and

112
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:28.920
how she's doing mentally, because if she can't finish the

113
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:30.680
adult one, and she has to drop down to like

114
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:34.440
a preteen version or like ages, you know, three to

115
00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:38.000
five version, you know, fun activity book.

116
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:38.879
Then we know it's okay.

117
00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:40.960
She's at least she's still kind of doing stuff. You

118
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:45.639
can see the decline. I'm grateful that she's doing that stuff,

119
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.879
one because she enjoys it, and two because it keeps

120
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.200
an active mind, which is massively important.

121
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:56.360
Well, listen, I've I discovered this like three years ago

122
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:59.159
with my mother. Is she had lost the ability to read,

123
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:07.879
I mean in any fluid, comprehending manner. She could sound

124
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.519
out some words, but I was like, just read something,

125
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:14.399
and I realized she couldn't. She she had been so

126
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:17.480
long since she had really read anything that her her

127
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:19.200
brain just turned a mush.

128
00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:22.720
And uh, that's how I feel like when I scrolled TikTok.

129
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:31.480
Yeah, but you learned important lessons like don't put bananas

130
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:32.000
in your butt.

131
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:38.600
It's an excellent call back to our Patreon episode thank You,

the inspiration to it, you can check it out on Patreon.

138
00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:04.320
There's there's there's two huge topics inside of this that

139
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:07.279
I want to touch on when it comes to your

140
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:13.919
mom passing away. One is, this is something that most

141
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.000
of us have to deal with in our lifetimes. The

142
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:23.799
other is, like you mentioned before, if we put our

143
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:28.679
pets through this, we would be called inhumane. I want

144
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:31.840
to touch on that part of it briefly, which is

145
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:36.159
do you think we will ever get to the point,

146
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:39.720
at least in America because some other nations are dabbling

147
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:44.799
in it with the legalities of you know, putting down people.

148
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:51.279
Do you think that's something that will ever actually get

149
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:57.360
to or are people, especially from the religious side, going

150
00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:00.000
to say you can't do that, that's playing God with people,

151
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:02.879
bull et cetera, or whatever other reasons.

152
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:07.480
So you get into this, I think it is a

153
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:13.039
moral and ethical conundrum on this, And here's why. If

154
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:14.639
you do it, I think you have to set some

155
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:18.360
guidelines because recently there was a case cause Spain has

156
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:23.080
basically assisted suicide and there was a I think if

157
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:26.879
she was a twenty six year old woman who chose

158
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.039
to assisted suicide perfectly good health, but she had been

159
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:34.759
raped and she couldn't. She didn't want to continue with life.

160
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:40.360
And and it's stuff like that where I think you

161
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:46.960
then get into this very hazy way. I absolutely, I hope.

162
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:51.879
I hope at some point we can set some sort

163
00:11:51.960 --> 00:12:02.399
of guidelines with age everything else, because I mean, it's

164
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:09.360
something in all honesty. I you know, again, when I

165
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:12.120
met Brandy, I thought I wouldn't have to think about this,

166
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:13.679
But now I'm back to thinking about it, which is,

167
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:15.519
there's gonna be a certain point an age where I

168
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:18.679
will am going to want to off myself because I

169
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:21.960
don't want to risk suffering the faith that I just

170
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:25.080
watched my mother, and and and because I will have

171
00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:28.200
nobody and I have no kids, I have no family,

172
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:33.799
and I don't want to just you know, rotten some

173
00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:38.279
bad alone and I don't want to do that. So

174
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:42.960
at a certain point, I want to know, I take

175
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:47.399
myself out, make a graceful exit.

176
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:51.960
Yeah, I'm with you, And I think this is something

177
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:55.600
that a lot of us that don't have kids need

178
00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:57.399
to think about at some point, because not everyone has

179
00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:00.120
truly thought about it. But at some point there is

180
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:02.440
when you reach a spot in your adulthood where you

181
00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:07.759
have to start thinking about your own demise. And speaking

182
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:09.919
of moms, my mom asked me one time after I

183
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:14.440
told her that Tara, my wife, and I, we had

184
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:17.440
chosen not to have kids and we have our own

185
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:23.279
specific reasons for that. And one of the things my

186
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:26.759
mom asked me about was in choosing not to have children,

187
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:28.480
well who's.

188
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:29.960
Going to take care of you when you're old?

189
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:35.000
And I don't even know, I don't even know if

190
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:38.120
an entire second had gone by before I was telling her.

191
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:43.399
That's not a reason to have kids. No, in my

192
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:49.320
mind agree if that is anywhere on your list of

193
00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:53.039
reasons to have kids, to me, that's a problem. If

194
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:58.480
that's your only bullet point on a list of why

195
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:00.879
I want to have kids, that that, to me is

196
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:03.240
the reason why you should not have kids, because in essence,

197
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.200
you're just choosing to to then be a burden on

198
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:05.799
your children.

199
00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:07.240
And I'm with you.

200
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:12.600
It's like I would much rather, if possible, do something

201
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:17.919
by my own choices then simply just be like, all right,

202
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:22.200
well I'm living with kiddo now, and then they and

203
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:24.240
it just opens up a whole can of worms, but

204
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.759
it really does. That's why I wonder if at some point,

205
00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:29.200
do you do we really think we'll ever get to

206
00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:32.639
that point to where whether it's.

207
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:35.559
Because of declining health, mental.

208
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:41.720
State, disease, or just you're say you're eighty years old

209
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:43.360
and you're like, you know what, I'm good.

210
00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:46.399
I would like to go now, you can do that

211
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:47.080
on your own.

212
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:50.120
But I don't know if we'll ever get to the

213
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:53.720
point where it'll be like a government sanctioned or legal

214
00:14:53.879 --> 00:15:00.360
thing to have a medically assisted situation, Because I, as

215
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:02.279
my own human, I like to be in control of

216
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:05.279
my own stuff, my own body if and I want

217
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:06.799
to be able to do what I want to do,

218
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:10.720
but in the medically assisted side of it, someone else

219
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:13.480
has to be willing and also not go to jail

220
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:13.759
for it.

221
00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:17.799
Yeah, I mean I would. I would love to have

222
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:21.840
the ability to say, if X, Y or Z happens

223
00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:24.840
to me, you know, you wheel me off and put

224
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:33.720
me down, and if I and that way. You know,

225
00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:35.639
if you get to that point, then you don't really

226
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:40.480
have you know that if something happens to you, it's

227
00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:41.960
not going to be it prolonged.

228
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:48.240
Yeah, I think in our situation specifically, you me and

229
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:53.240
and we have friends both together and separately that also

230
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:56.279
do not have kids. We almost need to have our

231
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:02.200
own sort of community of they're childless people where we

232
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:05.159
kind of have like a little a little Facebook group

233
00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:09.240
maybe where we all kind of trade off being each

234
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:13.200
other's executor or power of attorney or something, and you

235
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:15.519
do it around in a loop to where not everyone's

236
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:19.159
tied into one person, but you sort of share that

237
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:22.559
responsibility and kind of be like, like, for example, if

238
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:24.279
you wanted to put me in tear it down as

239
00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:26.919
people that would take care of you if something happened,

240
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:31.320
please do it simp. I think it's important for those

241
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:34.480
that don't have kids to think about that because I

242
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:38.240
don't know if because if you don't have any next

243
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:41.200
of kin, if you don't have any children or nothing,

244
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:44.159
it's like, well, then what happens to you if you

245
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:48.080
are in a you know, if you're just completely helpless

246
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:51.519
and you have no money, you cannot physically take care

247
00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:54.240
of yourself. Let's say someone does a welfare check on

248
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:55.600
you someday and they're like, oh my.

249
00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:57.000
God, Trey's alive. What do we do with them?

250
00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:59.279
We'll take them to this state run nursing home for

251
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:02.080
a bit. It's like, who oversees that, Who decides whether

252
00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:04.359
or not you do anything?

253
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:05.160
Let alone?

254
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:07.240
Is there a plug that someone's allowed to say, you

255
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:08.759
know what, let's just kind of trip over that.

256
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:16.440
I questions I've thought of and like, I I don't

257
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:19.519
I said, I thought I had the answer and that

258
00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:22.279
that was probably the most significant things in my relationship

259
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.039
with Brandy is at a certain point, Uh you know,

260
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:29.200
we were each other's emergency contacts. That's the first time

261
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:35.119
I had had that other than you know, my stepmom. Yeah,

262
00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:42.359
so I I, I don't know. It's try not to

263
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:43.960
get too mired down and thinking about it.

264
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:47.640
But I know it's it's well, it's.

265
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:55.839
It is weird in the great big Thank god, I

266
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.759
still have my stepmother, who I love dearly and like

267
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:02.559
my mother, but it is it is also there is

268
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:04.839
something very weird about the fact when you realize that

269
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:09.960
both your biological parents are dead and uh, you're the

270
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:15.400
the last of the Mohicans as it were. So yeah,

271
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:20.160
it's a I said, it's been weird. It's been, uh

272
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:29.519
a a conflicting journey. And you know, I spent a

273
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:31.279
lot of time with her over the weekend in her

274
00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:36.160
last hours, And like I said, it's those are just

275
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:42.039
awful because you're just sitting there and non their non

276
00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:49.400
responsive there, you're you have unless you've seen someone die.

277
00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:52.279
I don't know if I can truly describe it, but

278
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:56.880
sometimes their eyes are open but there's nothing there and

279
00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:01.559
you and you get into the you know. Also the

280
00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:06.720
great philosophical question is there life after? What happens to

281
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:09.000
our souls everything else? You know? I like to think

282
00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:11.720
that the soul has kind of left and it's the

283
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:16.640
body just hanging on. But it's just it's just crappy

284
00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:25.640
to watch. And yeah, it just I spent her last day.

285
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:30.160
I spent seven hours with her and at a certain

286
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:34.119
point the because they had called me that morning and said, hey,

287
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:37.359
you're you're her vitals have really gone down. It's time

288
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:40.119
and and true to form, she made it as difficult

289
00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:40.720
as possible.

290
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.599
And uh, it's in an odd way you kind of

291
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:47.799
give her credit for and it kind of hat tipped

292
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:48.440
to mom on the way.

293
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:50.480
I was like, you know what you were you all

294
00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:51.079
the way to the.

295
00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:59.000
End to Thino selfie true and uh And finally the

296
00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:02.640
hospictenerse Ca came in and they stopped by and they said, listen,

297
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:07.160
because it is I cannot tell you, and it sounds

298
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:09.880
so stupid. I cannot tell you how exhausting it is

299
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:14.240
to just sit by someone's bedside and you know, you

300
00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:18.640
talk to them. Sometimes I prayed and but then other

301
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:21.599
times you're literally I can't tell you how many how

302
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:24.480
much time elapsed that I'm just sitting here, counting like

303
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:28.519
seconds in between her breaths because you're trying to figure

304
00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:31.680
out if is it erratic or anything else, and it's

305
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:34.559
shallow and it's deep. And finally I was They were like,

306
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:41.599
this could go on for days, and you know, I left,

307
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:43.599
and like an hour later they called me, like and

308
00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:46.519
then this was the dumbest thing ever, because and it's

309
00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:49.440
just the weird way these things work is the people

310
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:53.839
at the nursing home care facility, they're like, well, uh,

311
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:58.960
and they really dance. It was well, you know, we

312
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:03.000
can't say for sure until the hospice gets here. But

313
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:08.960
and I'm like, is she dead? Well, I can't say

314
00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:14.000
for sure, has she stopped breathing? Yes, okay, that's generally

315
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:19.920
a really good side. I'm no doctor. I didn't go

316
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:20.519
to med school.

317
00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:24.519
But at a certain point, though, I know what you mean,

318
00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:27.519
it's like your bedside, you're expecting it, but it's not happening,

319
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:31.920
and it's drawing out and you're you're counting the breads.

320
00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:35.279
It's it's like the opposite of giving birth right, It's

321
00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:38.319
it's giving death. So it's like, instead of counting times

322
00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:42.960
between contractions, you're counting times between breaths to see, okay,

323
00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:45.640
is this the last one before the final push?

324
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:50.519
They're watching You're watching them and that they're breathing normally.

325
00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:52.279
Then all of a sudden, you know, maybe there's a

326
00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:55.319
gasp or whatever, and then they start breathing shallow, and

327
00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:57.000
you're thinking, okay, is this it?

328
00:21:57.400 --> 00:21:58.279
And you start to get.

329
00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:00.119
Up out of the chair walk towards the door. Do

330
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:01.720
you hear and you're like, oh, nope, got to come

331
00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:02.519
back to my chair now.

332
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:05.640
And well, you know, and I literally I was sitting

333
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:07.720
there is and I'm like, I go, you know, I'm

334
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:10.079
talking to her. I'm going it's okay, you can let

335
00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:14.160
go everything. I One of the things I did with

336
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:20.599
my mom of the last four months is I always

337
00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:24.160
told her I forgave her. You know, you're leaving this world.

338
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:30.079
Everything's good, and uh, you know, instead of going hey,

339
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:36.400
you were just a complete bitch bon voyage, and but

340
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:39.880
I made sure I tried. Yeah, I I I tried

341
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:42.960
to show as much grace as possible and so with things.

342
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:44.599
If if I thought it, I'd be like, it's okay.

343
00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:48.640
You know, it's okay, let go, You're good, and of

344
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:58.279
course not while I was there. So and then finally,

345
00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:02.440
literally like two hours later, the listeners calls, meth no,

346
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:03.599
we can't, and they're trying.

347
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:05.240
I'm like, is she dead?

348
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:09.400
That's all just yes or no. I don't you know.

349
00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:10.599
I don't need you to come in and give me

350
00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:13.200
a play by play. Obviously they called me two hours

351
00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:15.279
ago said she'd stop breathing. I'm pretty sure that was it.

352
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:17.079
But I'm glad you got there.

353
00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:19.279
She's David Blaine. I think she's done.

354
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:25.640
I mean, who knew she needed to be a Vegas act?

355
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:39.839
She went out big man. You're listening to The Treehouse.

a master contractor. He can change your ugly kitchen into

364

372
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:28.359
that show, hasn't it. Dan.

373
00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:29.720
That has been a fantastic time.

374
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:32.680
I look forward to every episode and it really is

375
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:35.799
focused on homeowners knowing their home and that was the

376
00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:38.839
baseline and that's what we're sticking with. We've had some

377
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:42.240
really great guests that have been very informative, and I

378
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:45.680
look forward to getting some feedback and having more people

379
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:49.119
listen to that show and hopefully it really helps understand

380
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:50.079
and know your home better.

381
00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:52.519
And it really is an approach where there are no

382
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:54.920
dumb questions. We want this to be sort of home

383
00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:57.920
ownership one oh one because most of us don't deal

384
00:24:57.960 --> 00:25:00.720
with these certain things every day the way that people

385
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:02.960
like Daniel and the other experts we've had on the

386
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:03.440
show do.

387
00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:05.599

00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:20.359
if there's anything that can make you feel a little

407
00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:22.920
bit better about the loss of a loved one. It's

408
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.119
a funny animal video, so I'm going to do that

409
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:27.039
for you now, Trey.

410
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:30.200
Hmm.

411
00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:35.079
Waco police got into a hot pursuit over the weekend.

412
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:40.359
Waco Police captured a loose kangaroo that escaped from a

413
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:45.640
wildlife rescue for the second time in under a year,

414
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:51.720
and according to a post on Waco Police's Facebook account,

415
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:55.200
the first time this happened, they said it wasn't their

416
00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:59.519
typical patrol day, but now now that they've done this twice,

417
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:03.240
they it's just become routine.

418
00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:07.799
There was a pio that clearly had a field day

419
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:16.279
with this one. First of all, uh huh, I don't

420
00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:18.640
know if people kangaroos can f you up.

421
00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:20.240
Yes they can, and.

422
00:27:20.599 --> 00:27:27.920
Uh so this one looks on the smaller side. But

423
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:33.440
I think my one of my favorite favorite memes ever

424
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:36.240
was what they said, kangaroos are just deers that have

425
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:37.279
been to prison.

426
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:43.799
With that photo of it select looking old jacked, and

427
00:27:43.839 --> 00:27:46.000
that one's not ai like those kangaroos.

428
00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:47.720
Actually they got they got muscles.

429
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:51.920
Waco Police did end their social posts by saying We're

430
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:54.960
happy to report this escape artist has returned home safe.

431
00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:59.599
And South, And you're right, Trey. Kangaroos are typically not

432
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:02.400
to be trifled with. We've all seen the video from

433
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:05.359
back in the day where the drunk reddendeck goes up

434
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:08.640
to a deer, goes up to a kangaroo and punches

435
00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:09.279
it in the face.

436
00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:12.480
Well because it was trying to hurt his dog. So

437
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:16.000
I and that wasn't a red neck. That was an Aussie.

438
00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:19.319
But that was oh, that was an AUSSI uh huh oh.

439
00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:22.960
I didn't think Australians would actually punch the kangaroo. Yeah,

440
00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:25.920
but yeah, at least in that video, the man the kangaroo,

441
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:29.240
the kangaroo and his dog were getting into it and

442
00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:31.279
he was like, I gotta go save my dog. He did,

443
00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:36.880
went in there and basically squared up on this kangaroo

444
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:40.920
and without hesitation, just gave it the old one too,

445
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:45.000
and kangaroo dropped the dog and he walked away like

446
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.880
an action video, and the kangaroo was left like with

447
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:56.000
the face of what happened. And so that one ended nicely.

448
00:28:56.039 --> 00:28:59.359
But I remember when that video came out and people saying, look.

449
00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:01.000
This is this is good that he saved his dog.

450
00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:03.880
But kangaroos are actually quite dangerous and the way that

451
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:06.680
those legs work, they got talons on those, and the

452
00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:09.319
way those legs work when they rare back on that tail,

453
00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:12.920
it's to basically open up your belly with their toes.

454
00:29:13.039 --> 00:29:14.920
Yeah, most of you don't realize their tail is like

455
00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:18.839
a stand that they can basically sit up on and

456
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:22.720
kick you with those hind legs, which are all sorts

457
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:27.759
of powerful. So yeah, now I'm gonna guess being that

458
00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:30.400
it's from a wildlife refuge, this kangaroo is also more

459
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:34.440
acclimated to people than you're gonna find in the the

460
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:35.640
out back of Australia.

461
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:38.920
Yeah, I don't think this is the one that's been

462
00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:43.000
been working out in the yard the way that the

463
00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:47.799
prison rush do in Australia. Maybe that's part of the

464
00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:49.920
reason why he's a little bit smaller. Also could just

465
00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:53.119
be a little bit younger. But one of my favorite

466
00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:56.640
parts of this was, you know, the police are saying, yeah,

467
00:29:56.680 --> 00:29:58.839
we helped to catch this, but then there's a plane

468
00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:04.319
clothed young man who is chasing it with what appears

469
00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:09.640
to be a butterfly net through a parking lot, and like,

470
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:12.000
I don't think that's unless this is an off duty

471
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:15.200
Waco police officer. My guess is this guy works at

472
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.720
the wildlife rescue because who else has.

473
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:21.640
A kangaroo size net with them at any point?

474
00:30:21.960 --> 00:30:27.279
That's an excellent question. And it looks like he's wearing.

475
00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:31.599
Jorts jeorts, and he's got the mullet, but it's kind

476
00:30:31.599 --> 00:30:34.119
of perm so, I mean, this kid is like hardcore

477
00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:37.279
gen Z, right, And then at the end of it,

478
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:41.839
when they've finally got a hand on the kangaroo, the

479
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:47.519
same gen Z rescuer or wildlife Rescue group employee has

480
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:52.119
the kangaroo by the tail and is pulling it.

481
00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:54.039
Is it by the tailor they have a rope around

482
00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:57.680
its neck like they're just no, it's by the tail. Oh,

483
00:30:58.000 --> 00:30:59.640
oh yeah, you're right. It's true.

484
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:02.200
First you would think, oh my god, that's kind of cruel,

485
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:04.519
but then you think about it. That tail is the

486
00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:07.400
strongest thing on that kangaroo's body, so it's really not

487
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:10.039
don't I don't think it's hurting the kangaroo at all.

488
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:13.279
But it does make me think of the classic saying

489
00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:15.279
grab a tiger by the tail.

490
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:19.680
I don't know if the same message applies.

491
00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:21.720
And grab a kangaroo by the tail, but still not

492
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:22.839
a position I want to be in.

493
00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:29.319
No, that's uh. And if I'm Waco PD, I'm gonna

494
00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:32.200
go have a talk with this wildlife refuge and go, hey,

495
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:34.119
not get the f off.

496
00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:39.440
Mm hmm. Can can you make some higher fenses please? Yeah,

497
00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:42.279
check the locks before you leave for the night. Something.

498
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:55.960
So thank you to Waco for keeping things wacky. Appreciate you. Now,

499
00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:59.359
let's celebrate today with some birthdays. Today is Wednesday, May

500
00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:04.559
twenty seven, twenty twenty six. Birthdays today. Paul Bettany is

501
00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:09.079
fifty five years old. On one hand, he is a very,

502
00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:13.799
very talented and fine actor. On the other hand, his

503
00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:17.119
greatest achievement might be that he's married to Jennifer Connley.

504
00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:20.160
And I think that's something Trey and I would share

505
00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:20.920
as a belief.

506
00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:27.599
He's married to Jennifer Conley. I didn't you didn't know that?

507
00:32:29.400 --> 00:32:30.920
I don't know if I did.

508
00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:32.599
Yeah.

509
00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:37.799
I mean he plays vision and as says in the MCU,

510
00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:41.359
he's had some other great roles in his life. If

511
00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:45.160
you've never seen A Night's Tale with Heath Ledger, Paul

512
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:48.160
Bettany is in that, which is a fantastic movie.

513
00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:49.400
I need to see again.

514
00:32:50.839 --> 00:32:52.599
But really it's like if he had this very fine

515
00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:54.920
acting career, but you're also married to Jennifer Conley.

516
00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:57.319
It's like, man, you he's a good job.

517
00:32:57.400 --> 00:33:02.799
Two thumbs buddy, oh all time.

518
00:33:03.799 --> 00:33:09.039
I feel like she never didn't get the accolades of

519
00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:12.480
hotness that she deserved. I feel like she kind of

520
00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:14.759
flew under the radar, but.

521
00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:21.400
She did because I mean, for her acting career, she

522
00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:25.599
didn't go really hard mainstream. She basically did a lot

523
00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:32.039
of just smart acting roles that were not necessarily mega

524
00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:40.279
blockbuster roles. But I will say that the younger generation

525
00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:44.880
knows who she is because she's become me worthy. With

526
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:50.440
her classic scene in Career Opportunities and Career Opportunities where

527
00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:55.839
she is riding the stationary horse, the coin operated stationary

528
00:33:55.839 --> 00:34:01.839
horse inside of a target. It was a couple of

529
00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:05.200
months ago where people were using AI to rework that

530
00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:08.000
scene where it's her writing the thing and then it's

531
00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:11.199
other people staring at her awkwardly eating things.

532
00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:14.199
And there was one that was really funny.

533
00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:17.760
It was a Super Friends or like a Justice League reference,

534
00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:21.199
where it was Wonder Woman riding the horse and then

535
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:24.159
it's like Batman and Superman just creepily eating what.

536
00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:26.039
There's some really funny stuff.

537
00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:30.599
And she's held up remarkably well, I mean as evident

538
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:35.519
in Pop Gun Maverick. It looks like she has aged nicely.

539
00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:37.719
It really didn't look like she's had work done.

540
00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:42.079
No. When Top Gun Maverick was announced, and then as

541
00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:45.199
little bits about the plot and story were coming out,

542
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:49.000
seeing that she was cast as the love interest, we

543
00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:51.599
were all wondering, well, okay, what about Kelly McGillis.

544
00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:53.760
What are they going to do about that storyline?

545
00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:59.440
Have you had? No? I was not. That didn't cross

546
00:34:59.480 --> 00:35:04.159
my mind one time. I've seen what Kelly McGillis looks.

547
00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:07.599
Like now, and that's where I was curious, because I

548
00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:12.079
was like, Okay, what they have to reconcile this in

549
00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:14.039
some way in the story because at the end of

550
00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:17.760
Top Gun one, it's him and Kelly McGillis sort of

551
00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:20.119
they're flying off into the sunset kind of a deal.

552
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:24.920
What was going to be that story or that plot

553
00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:27.599
point in the new movie? And it's like, I know,

554
00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:31.440
what's the best way to get Pete Mitchell aka Maverick

555
00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:35.800
to forget about Charlie from the first movie Penny Benjamin

556
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:39.280
And who better to play it than Jennifer Connolly.

557
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:42.880
There have been enough time passed between the first two

558
00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:48.960
and being that I really wasn't I didn't even think

559
00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:52.159
they would address Charlie.

560
00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:53.880
And they really didn't know.

561
00:35:54.679 --> 00:35:57.719
I mean the only way Benjamin was absolutely perfect. That

562
00:35:58.159 --> 00:36:01.480
was great writing because it's a it's basically a throw

563
00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:07.239
away line from the first one, but that it comes

564
00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:09.960
to fruition. Now she's the Admiral's daughter, blah blah blah.

565
00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:14.519
But and from what I understand, she'll be a part

566
00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:15.480
of the third one.

567
00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:18.719
Good. It's amazing.

568
00:36:18.760 --> 00:36:21.679
It's actually a testament to how good Top Gun was

569
00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:25.920
the fact that we all knew from one freaking line

570
00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:27.400
in that movie.

571
00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:29.599
Heenny Benjamin the Admiral's daughter.

572
00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:36.159
Anyway, Happy birthday to mister Jennifer Connelly Paul Beteny. He

573
00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:39.199
is fifty five today. Other birthdays today. Joseph Finds is

574
00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:44.760
fifty six. Another fine actor on for his part, brother

575
00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:49.800
of Ray Fines Defindes brothers really fantastic actors. Joseph Finds

576
00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:56.079
to me most recently, I remember him as of from

577
00:36:56.320 --> 00:36:57.079
Handmaid's Tale?

578
00:36:58.400 --> 00:36:58.880
Who's in that?

579
00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:03.840
Jamie Oliver English Chef is fifty one? Tray.

580
00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:05.599
I know you're big into cooking, now, have you ever

581
00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:07.400
come across any of Jamie Oliver's stuff.

582
00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:13.440
I'm not a huge fan.

583
00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:18.079
He's the He's the anti Gordon Ramsey, also from the UK,

584
00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:24.440
but very very polite, the exact opposite of Gordon Ramsey,

585
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:28.400
very nice guy. Some some decent watching as far as

586
00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:29.280
some cooking show stuff.

587
00:37:29.320 --> 00:37:31.599
But yeah, it may not be everybody's.

588
00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:37.039
Nothing. And maybe maybe that is, although Gordon Ramsey is

589
00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:41.920
actually one of the nicest individuals. But on TV and

590
00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:45.880
everything else, yes, he's an a hole. I don't know why.

591
00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:49.280
Jamie Oliver is just not someone I enjoy watching or

592
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:52.440
anything else I like, even though I know he's an

593
00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:58.079
a hole. I love Bobby Flay. I can sit down.

594
00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:02.760
It's actually something Brandy got me on is watch beat

595
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:06.199
Bobby Flay for hours on end.

596
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:10.159
Too bad all his exes aren't lined up for one episode.

597
00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:14.960
Well, you know, so I grew up with his Stephanie March,

598
00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:21.920
his last ex wife, his last ex well, yeah, because

599
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:24.920
I guess now I can't think of her name. His

600
00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:26.000
new girlfriend that.

601
00:38:26.079 --> 00:38:29.239
Brooks Brooke yea from Top Chef that we're addicted to.

602
00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:34.639
Yeah, top Chef and now she's in all his shows.

603
00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:36.400
Shocker h.

604
00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:40.920
Happy birthday to Jamie Oliver, and this is why we

605
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:43.039
do birthdays, because we're going to go to some weird places.

606
00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:46.119
Andre three thousand is fifty one. And if you've been

607
00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:53.920
around the Lakewood Dallas Whole Foods with any regularity, you've

608
00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:59.159
probably seen him because he and he and Ericabaddie.

609
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:01.480
Did not know that.

610
00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:01.920
That's right.

611
00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:05.239
You hang around that that Lakewood Whole Foods in Dallas

612
00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:07.320
long enough, you'll probably see Andre three thousand.

613
00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:10.440
Also, what if he you know, he.

614
00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:18.119
Was doing a flute tour and I'm not kidding.

615
00:39:19.599 --> 00:39:21.119
On purpose, uh huh.

616
00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:23.199
He was putting on shows where he was playing flute,

617
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:26.679
like I read about it when I want to say

618
00:39:26.679 --> 00:39:29.440
it was in New York City, but there was you know,

619
00:39:29.559 --> 00:39:31.719
it was like, oh, Andre three thousand, you know he

620
00:39:31.800 --> 00:39:34.280
was doing a show like I don't think it was

621
00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:36.760
in Central Park but a park or whatever. And there

622
00:39:36.760 --> 00:39:39.760
were a lot of dismaye people when he's on stage

623
00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:43.440
playing flute, not not playing outcastle.

624
00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:47.960
Yeah, somewhere in the crowd Kenny Gee even pops and

625
00:39:48.039 --> 00:39:53.440
going really bro Yeah.

626
00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:55.840
So he's a floutist. Good for him.

627
00:39:57.239 --> 00:39:59.360
I can understand why certain people might have been let

628
00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:01.639
down thinking they were going to get a full you know,

629
00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:04.880
outcast or andre a three thousand performance and instead got

630
00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:07.000
a busker in the park with a fluke.

631
00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:09.079
You know, it's like the Aerosmist show. I went to

632
00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:13.719
one year at STARplex and it's Aerosmith, and I didn't

633
00:40:13.719 --> 00:40:16.480
realize it was. It was the Honkin on Bobo tour

634
00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:18.320
that they had put out an out that was like

635
00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:24.960
a blues album, a complete, complete separation of everything Aerosmith,

636
00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:28.800
and they don't play one hit, it's all just yeah,

637
00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:29.039
it was.

638
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:32.880
It was a pisser that sounds awful. And keep in

639
00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:35.159
mind Aerosmith's one of my all time favorite bans. Oh

640
00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:41.000
I hated that show in the world of sports. Turning

641
00:40:41.039 --> 00:40:43.119
fifty eight years old today, this was back when I

642
00:40:43.239 --> 00:40:46.719
was playing in my baseball days as a kid. One

643
00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:50.079
of my favorite batting stance is to imitate when you

644
00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:52.239
play the batting stance game with your teammates and be.

645
00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:53.840
Like, Hey, who is this? Who is that?

646
00:40:55.199 --> 00:40:57.920
Jeff Bagwell is fifty eight today, one of the weirdest

647
00:40:57.960 --> 00:41:00.199
all time batting stances because he looks like he's making

648
00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:04.679
a dump in the woods, super wide stance. I mean

649
00:41:04.679 --> 00:41:07.639
it's just squatting down halfway. He really does look like

650
00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:09.880
he's taking a big old duke right in the woods,

651
00:41:10.039 --> 00:41:11.920
but he just happens to be at home plate trying

652
00:41:11.920 --> 00:41:15.360
to hit a baseball. Happy birthday to Jeff Bagwell, part

653
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:17.320
of the Killer Bees from the Houston Astros back in

654
00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:22.320
the day. And finally, this just randomly just I there.

655
00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:25.039
Occasionally I'll see something in print in my brain will

656
00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:27.719
twist the letters and words around to something else. So

657
00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:33.159
it's National grape Popsicle Day. I don't typically read these

658
00:41:33.159 --> 00:41:36.760
things because it's it's trash throwaway time filler for bad

659
00:41:36.840 --> 00:41:40.719
radio shows. I'm bringing it up because while it says

660
00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:45.079
it's National Grape Popsicle Day, my brain initially read it

661
00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:49.199
as National grope people Day, to which I was initially intrigued.

662
00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:54.199
And while your wife went to another island.

663
00:41:56.639 --> 00:42:03.280
And explains why I'm all alone by anniversary, But baby

664
00:42:03.320 --> 00:42:03.840

682
00:43:08.760 --> 00:43:15.719
Z has discovered hacky sack. Like Indiana Jones going through

683
00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:19.400
the Temple of Doom, they're making discoveries left and right,

684
00:43:19.480 --> 00:43:22.760
thinking they found something brand new, thinking that they found

685
00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:25.079
things that no one has ever seen before, at least

686
00:43:25.119 --> 00:43:28.360
not in modern times or in the last few centuries.

687
00:43:28.440 --> 00:43:33.280
Gen Z has discovered hacky sack. And because it's becoming

688
00:43:33.480 --> 00:43:39.920
so popular, hacky sacks are actually hard to find now.

689
00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:46.000
There's an actual nationwide shortage of hacky sacks. Searches are exploding,

690
00:43:46.119 --> 00:43:51.199
schools are obsessed. Meanwhile, parts of Gen X and millennials

691
00:43:51.199 --> 00:43:54.639
are like, hacky sacks are cool again?

692
00:43:56.360 --> 00:43:58.000
Again, were they ever really?

693
00:43:58.840 --> 00:43:59.760
Which is the other question?

694
00:44:03.480 --> 00:44:08.079
Were hacky sacks even cool when they were first around? No,

695
00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:13.840
because I specifically remembered little pockets of hacky sackers at

696
00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:19.480
school doing their thing, usually before school waiting to go in,

697
00:44:19.679 --> 00:44:22.400
you know, for first period or whatever, maybe at lunchtime

698
00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:26.280
or something. Uh, and you'd see three or four usually

699
00:44:26.320 --> 00:44:30.719
guys doing the hacky sack thing. And it was not

700
00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:34.639
a mainstream deal, like the cool kids were not doing

701
00:44:34.679 --> 00:44:35.519
the hacky sacking.

702
00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:42.159
No, it's first of all, there there were you know,

703
00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:45.679
there's two types of hacky sacking. It was the group

704
00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:48.000
activity where you know, you're in a circle and people

705
00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:54.559
are kicking it around or solo. Now are gen Z

706
00:44:54.719 --> 00:44:57.239
actually are they playing with each other or are they

707
00:44:57.280 --> 00:44:58.119
all doing it solo?

708
00:45:01.039 --> 00:45:04.079
Gen Z is doing it as more of a group activity.

709
00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:07.400
Well, good, good for them. Anything that gets them face

710
00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:09.280
to face contact. Good on you.

711
00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:11.880
I'm with you. It's important.

712
00:45:11.920 --> 00:45:15.400
Even gen Z recognizes the need to put down the

713
00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:17.679
phone and have some social interaction.

714
00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:19.000
And if you think about it.

715
00:45:18.960 --> 00:45:20.639
A hacky sack is a great way to sort of

716
00:45:20.679 --> 00:45:23.360
break that ice. Because here you have an entire generation

717
00:45:23.440 --> 00:45:26.159
of kids who don't have a whole lot of this

718
00:45:26.239 --> 00:45:31.119
social interaction. So doing the activity kind of helps break

719
00:45:31.199 --> 00:45:33.199
that ice a little bit, makes it a little less

720
00:45:33.239 --> 00:45:36.960
awkward because you have a joint thing that you're doing,

721
00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:40.760
and I'm with you. Anything that gets anybody to put

722
00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:45.559
their phone down and interact with people on a human level,

723
00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:47.400
I see is a good thing. I just think it's

724
00:45:47.440 --> 00:45:51.079
absolutely silly that gen Z thinks hacky Sacks didn't really

725
00:45:51.159 --> 00:45:52.480
exist until they discovered it.

726
00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:55.719
Well they feel that way about the mullet too, And

727
00:45:57.360 --> 00:46:02.840
but here here's I guess a big question is is

728
00:46:02.880 --> 00:46:09.239
this teenagers like we tend to divide generations up like

729
00:46:09.280 --> 00:46:11.880
there's a hard line. And I am of the belief

730
00:46:11.920 --> 00:46:16.400
that there's some transition years where there's groups you're right

731
00:46:16.440 --> 00:46:21.280
on the transition of X to millennial yep, whereas so

732
00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:25.840
sometimes there's probably eighty and eighty four where there's a

733
00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:28.800
transition years where you're kind of a little bit of both.

734
00:46:29.320 --> 00:46:36.320
So right now, so Gen alpha is max sixteen, So

735
00:46:36.639 --> 00:46:39.760
is this a Gen alpha gen Z transition thing or

736
00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:42.559
actual the twenty something gen Z is doing this.

737
00:46:43.239 --> 00:46:46.480
I believe it's the younger gen zs and the Gen

738
00:46:46.480 --> 00:46:50.719
Alpha okay, and you're right, Like, generationally speaking, I'm born

739
00:46:50.760 --> 00:46:55.119
in seventy nine. The cutoff for gen X into millennial

740
00:46:55.679 --> 00:46:59.480
is nineteen eighty. I believe some people sometimes say it's

741
00:46:59.639 --> 00:47:03.000
eighty one one eighty two. But in that little it's

742
00:47:03.039 --> 00:47:06.159
like it's like a political poll, like a political survey.

743
00:47:06.360 --> 00:47:08.400
You have a margin of air plus or minus a

744
00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:09.480
few points or I.

745
00:47:09.480 --> 00:47:11.880
Think officially, I always thought gen Z was sixty five

746
00:47:11.880 --> 00:47:14.280
to eighty. I mean gen X was sixty five to eighty.

747
00:47:14.639 --> 00:47:18.880
Yeah, And so I'm right there at the ass end

748
00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:23.239
of gen X, which puts me into what some social

749
00:47:23.239 --> 00:47:28.199
experts have called uh zenials nils, yeah, which is sort

750
00:47:28.199 --> 00:47:30.599
of that hybrid. So yeah, the hackey sackers right now

751
00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:35.239
are the younger gen z ers and the gen alphas.

752
00:47:36.840 --> 00:47:39.000
And again, like you said, I give them credit that

753
00:47:39.039 --> 00:47:41.360
they're you know, they're getting together as a community and

754
00:47:41.360 --> 00:47:45.599
they're doing things together. And and look, the kids that

755
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:49.280
did the hacky sacking when we were kids, we're not

756
00:47:49.400 --> 00:47:50.239
the cool crowd.

757
00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:52.360
I don't know if they are the cool crowd now

758
00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:55.760
or not. But I did notice one.

759
00:47:55.599 --> 00:47:58.480
Thing about all the hacky sacking that I witnessed as

760
00:47:58.480 --> 00:48:03.400
a kid, and that was not all hacky sackers wore

761
00:48:03.519 --> 00:48:07.440
tied die shirts, but anyone that wore a tied die

762
00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:10.480
shirt was a hacky sacker that I know.

763
00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:16.000
Yeah, I would actually tend to tend to agree with

764
00:48:16.039 --> 00:48:17.639
you on that one.

765
00:48:18.079 --> 00:48:22.719
And our buddy Rebecca Black, she had commented back when

766
00:48:22.719 --> 00:48:25.360
I sent her this story, her husband is a football

767
00:48:25.400 --> 00:48:28.280
coach in North Texas out of high school, and she

768
00:48:28.440 --> 00:48:33.119
said the kids at her husband's school weren't playing hacky sack.

769
00:48:33.960 --> 00:48:36.519
And she said her husband was like, oh, hackey Sack

770
00:48:36.639 --> 00:48:37.719
is back, and.

771
00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:40.000
They were all blown away that he had heard of it.

772
00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:48.880
How where do you? It's amazing. It's like, did some

773
00:48:49.199 --> 00:48:50.519
there's gonna be a movie about this.

774
00:48:50.599 --> 00:48:53.440
Probably some gen Z kid or jen Alfa kid found

775
00:48:53.480 --> 00:48:56.800
this little bean baggy ball in one of our suitcases

776
00:48:56.880 --> 00:49:00.199
or trunk's an attic and they looked at it.

777
00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:02.679
It was one eyed Willie's treasure, like, whoa.

778
00:49:05.199 --> 00:49:07.800
Well, there's no real video evidence of it, so, I

779
00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:13.800
mean they don't read, so they haven't seen video of it.

780
00:49:13.840 --> 00:49:14.920
They think they own it.

781
00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:17.599
Yeah, I mean, at this point, we're only a couple

782
00:49:17.679 --> 00:49:20.960
of weeks away from gen Z bringing back frosted tips

783
00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:22.679
and calling it a vintage esthetic.

784
00:49:25.559 --> 00:49:26.000
God.

785
00:49:26.320 --> 00:49:29.199
Yeah, they brought back the mullet and the perm you know,

786
00:49:29.280 --> 00:49:30.599
the frosted tips are next.

787
00:49:32.119 --> 00:49:35.519
I'll never understand they're some of that, especially the mullet.

788
00:49:35.559 --> 00:49:39.719
I mean there are photographs of gen xers and with mullets.

789
00:49:39.760 --> 00:49:42.039
I mean, you know it doesn't age well, you do

790
00:49:42.119 --> 00:49:43.800
not look back on that and go, man, I missed

791
00:49:43.800 --> 00:49:44.199
that look.

792
00:49:44.599 --> 00:49:48.639
Yeah, it's especially weird for me because in the eighties,

793
00:49:48.679 --> 00:49:51.280
the height of that mullet, the height of that look

794
00:49:51.480 --> 00:49:58.320
with the mullet and the big visor type sunglasses. Those

795
00:49:58.360 --> 00:50:02.199
were my sister's boyfriend back in the day. So it's

796
00:50:02.239 --> 00:50:05.000
such an odd thing to see kids today running around

797
00:50:05.119 --> 00:50:07.920
looking like two or three of my sister's ex boyfriends

798
00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:10.559
when she was like fourteen or fifteen, And it just

799
00:50:10.679 --> 00:50:11.679
makes me feel weird.

800
00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:17.119
See, to me, the height of that look was John Day.

801
00:50:19.480 --> 00:50:22.039
Well, I mean he prolonged it. He's still kind of

802
00:50:22.079 --> 00:50:22.559
living it.

803
00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:30.239
He's the bridge between all of our generations. All right,

804
00:50:30.360 --> 00:50:31.920
last thing I want to ask you about this with

805
00:50:31.960 --> 00:50:40.119
the hacky sacking, what ridiculous trend from your childhood would

806
00:50:40.159 --> 00:50:44.280
you love to force on kids today. I'll give you

807
00:50:44.280 --> 00:50:46.119
a second to think about it while I'll give you

808
00:50:46.199 --> 00:50:50.440
my answer to see if this helps inspire you. What

809
00:50:50.599 --> 00:50:53.480
ridiculous trend from your childhood would you love to force

810
00:50:53.559 --> 00:50:57.920
on kids today. For me, the hypercolored T shirt that

811
00:50:58.039 --> 00:51:01.159
to me was one of the worst inventions ever, especially

812
00:51:01.199 --> 00:51:04.199
because when the hypercolor T shirts came out, I was

813
00:51:04.239 --> 00:51:07.400
in the height of puberty, the absolute worst possible time

814
00:51:07.480 --> 00:51:09.599
to wear a hypercolor T shirt.

815
00:51:09.840 --> 00:51:10.719
Tray, do you remember these?

816
00:51:11.280 --> 00:51:11.400
No?

817
00:51:11.960 --> 00:51:14.960
I think these were. This is where our age difference shows.

818
00:51:15.400 --> 00:51:17.920
The hypercolor T shirt was a shirt that was one color.

819
00:51:17.960 --> 00:51:22.199
It said hypercolor across the chest typically and with heat

820
00:51:22.440 --> 00:51:27.239
and sweat it would change colors. So imagine going through

821
00:51:27.280 --> 00:51:30.239
puberty and wearing a shirt that's going to change color

822
00:51:31.280 --> 00:51:34.519
based on the temperature of your body and in the location.

823
00:51:35.039 --> 00:51:37.599
So if you were pit sweating like crazy, it's going

824
00:51:37.639 --> 00:51:41.840
to show up and everyone's going to see it. That

825
00:51:42.039 --> 00:51:45.920
was me in sixth grade wearing an olive green hypercolor

826
00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:49.719
T shirt that would turn pale yellow when heat got

827
00:51:49.760 --> 00:51:52.159
to it. Oh, I looked like a molten booger.

828
00:51:52.199 --> 00:51:59.679
It was disgusting. That's what I would force on kids today.

829
00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:06.239
I'm I'm trying to think what of a trend that

830
00:52:06.360 --> 00:52:08.360
was popular and it.

831
00:52:08.320 --> 00:52:10.639
Doesn't even have to necessarily be popular, because like Hackey

832
00:52:10.639 --> 00:52:13.159
sacking is a good example, because that was not cool

833
00:52:13.199 --> 00:52:15.199
when we were kids, So that would be somebody to

834
00:52:15.199 --> 00:52:17.159
be like, let's see you kids make some fun of

835
00:52:18.320 --> 00:52:19.519
make something cool out of that.

836
00:52:23.159 --> 00:52:26.119
I mean slap bracelets, because they probably all cry that

837
00:52:26.199 --> 00:52:26.840
it hurt.

838
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:33.920
Any of those games that we would play in school. Uh,

839
00:52:34.400 --> 00:52:35.960
the slap bracelet was an actual thing.

840
00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:36.559
You could buy.

841
00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:43.519
Pencil break the pencil break game. Did you ever play that?

842
00:52:43.519 --> 00:52:45.440
That's where one person just kind of hold the pencil

843
00:52:45.480 --> 00:52:46.920
and then you take years and you snap it and

844
00:52:46.920 --> 00:52:47.719
you see if you can break it.

845
00:52:47.760 --> 00:52:48.920
Whoever one first?

846
00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:51.119
Yeah, there was another one, and I don't know if

847
00:52:51.119 --> 00:52:54.760
this was my middle school specific. We would take straight

848
00:52:54.840 --> 00:53:00.880
pins and blow them through straws like a blowgun. It

849
00:53:00.920 --> 00:53:03.760
was especially popular when people were wearing shorts.

850
00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:14.480
Uh No, I don't think that was. We're spitballs.

851
00:53:16.400 --> 00:53:18.920
Yeah, that's that's where ours got started, was the spitball.

852
00:53:18.960 --> 00:53:22.239
And then someone had the beautiful idea of putting a

853
00:53:22.280 --> 00:53:24.519
straight pin in it and turning it into a blow dart.

854
00:53:25.639 --> 00:53:28.039
Hell. I'd like to see those twats play dodgeball.

855
00:53:32.639 --> 00:53:33.199
Wall ball.

856
00:53:34.800 --> 00:53:36.880
That's the one that was dodgeball, but it's just basically

857
00:53:36.960 --> 00:53:42.639
a firing squad. I would love to see that that

858
00:53:42.719 --> 00:53:45.159
first test group as they hit as we hit record

859
00:53:45.199 --> 00:53:45.400
and be.

860
00:53:45.360 --> 00:53:48.679
Like, all right, kids, today we're going to play wall ball.

861
00:53:48.800 --> 00:53:53.039
All right, everyone line up? You really want to throw

862
00:53:53.079 --> 00:53:53.559
them for a loop?

863
00:53:53.599 --> 00:54:02.320
Put an uh, put a blindfold on them?

864
00:54:02.400 --> 00:54:06.760
Yeah? Or again. I just you know, it's not necessarily

865
00:54:06.800 --> 00:54:08.840
a trend, but I would pay a lot of money

866
00:54:09.000 --> 00:54:14.000
to see them operate a rotaryfrone, a VCR and a

867
00:54:14.079 --> 00:54:15.119
TV with no remote.

868
00:54:19.400 --> 00:54:22.039
I think the monkeys in two thousand and one Space

869
00:54:22.079 --> 00:54:28.199
Odyssey had a better chance. For all things Treehouse, Treehouse
